Hiya everybody! I'm so, so sorry I took so long to update! I was going through a bit of writer's block, and for those of you who are reading and reviewing my other story, 'Lightning the Hedgehog', I'm so sorry for the wait! I'm still planning the next chapter.
Anyways, Hope you all enjoy this chapter; sorry if there isn't a lot that happens. I've got a great idea of what I'm most likely going to do for the next few chapters, although I still have a bit of planning to do.
Disclaimer: I do not, REPEAT do NOT own Shadow the hedgehog nor do I own Sonic and co. or Mobius, ECT. They'll all belong to SEGA-except for Maria the Hedgehog; I don't know who she belongs to. All I know is that she's pretty much fan made-I think.
She looks like she's an actual character though. I think SEGA should make another season of Sonic X and this time add Silver and Blaze into it and they should do something with Maria the Hedgehog. I mean I know Sonic X is meant to basically be all about Sonic, hence the name Sonic X, Sonic heroes etc, but a lot of people want to see more of Shadow too! Sorry, I'm getting carried away…
Now then…on with the show…
Chapter Two-The Rophiicks!
The wind sliced through the hedgehog's quills. His feet moving so fast and swiftly it was impossible to tell one red shoe from the other, as the blue blur sped along. The blue hedgehog was running at incredibly high speeds for the thrill of it. He felt content and at peace as he ran along the green grass, leaving it to sway in his wind.
"Nothing can be better than this" he thought happily. Up ahead, flying high above the ground was a plane he knew all too well, 'The Tornado'. Sonic spotted his closest friend at the controls and a familiar pink hedgehog in the back seat. The pink hedgehog spotted Sonic and waved to him. Sonic waved back as Tails swiftly brought the plane alongside his blue friend.
"Hi Sonic!" the twin-tailed fox called above the noise of the plane's powerful engine.
"What's up Tails? Hey Amy!" Sonic greeted his two friends whilst effortlessly keeping up with the fast plane.
"We spotted something odd down by Angel Island. We're not sure, but it could be Eggman again. I thought you'd want to come and check it out" Tails shouted.
"Sounds like fun" Sonic commented and forward flipped onto the wing of the blue plane. The Tornado lifted up into the blue sky and headed for Angel Island.
oO0Oo
A small army of dark beings were lined along the edge of the land, awaiting commands to raid the floating island before them. These dark beings were covered in black metal armour. Their helmets were shaped like the head of some sort of rhinoceros or dinosaur with two horns on top, one smaller than the other. Their helmets had two glowing red eyes and blood-red spikes going down the backs of the black creatures. Large tails like that of a kangaroo dragged along the grass-covered ground. The row of red spikes ran down to the very tip of their tails. On their backs, they carried a weapon or two each. The weapons ranged from large axes with sharp, shiny, silver metal on both sides, there were big clubs, odd looking hammers with pointy ends, base and chains and sharp pointed spears that were made out of super sharp, solid steel.
There were about 150 soldiers ready to attack the island. A black armoured beast with a green cape stood with his commander in front of the small army.
"General Armande, the scout team has located the energy source. They've reported that the gem is in a stone ruin towards the centre of the island. But there was some sort of red figure guarding it. No other life forms were spotted" the commander reported to the general.
The large, caped rhino/dinosaur-like creature thought this information over.
"This guardian must be strong if he is by himself, unless there are others on the island. This battle isn't going to be too easy" he thought before turning to four other leaders, standing in front of their team groups.
"The energy source is located in the middle of the island. The scout teams have reported a red creature appears to be guarding it" the general said. The four leaders listened carefully.
"There are possibly other Mobians on the island, although none were seen. We'll need a diversion to distract them. I will go with teams 1, 2 and 3 to attack this red enemy and draw all the attention to ourselves. Team 4 will go in from behind and take the energy source. Failure is not an option" the green caped general explained. The four leaders nodded and turned to their teams to give their instructions. When all were quiet and ready, the small army warped onto the floating island.
oO0Oo
Sonic, Tails and Amy neared Angel Island. The three friends looked around the coast for anything unusual.
"I don't see anything Tails" Sonic called to his friend. The plane had circled the floating island three times now and there was no sign of any unusual activities. Tails frowned.
"Maybe, whatever it was we saw, are somewhere on Angel Island now" Amy suggested. Sonic looked down at the floating island.
"Let's check it out" Sonic said and the Tornado turned to fly over Angel Island.
oO0Oo
Four teams of black-armoured figures silently made their way towards the centre of the floating island. They hid in the shadows, their black armour camouflaging in the shadows of the vegetation. Only red orbs could be seen if one were to look in their direction.
When the raiding army came to a clearing with the ruins of an ancient stone temple, Armande signalled to the fourth team to circle round and wait for his signal. Armande waited until all teams were in position and ready to attack. His red eyes quickly scanned the clearing. He saw a giant, light green gem at the top of the ruined shrine. A small red figure was lying down in a relaxed position on the steps leading up to the glowing gem.
"This should be easy" the black leader thought.
The general looked to the other three leaders, making sure they were ready. The three black leaders watched their general, awaiting their next command. Armande looked back at the red creature and pulled out his weapon-a GIANT, double sided axe.
"CHARGE!" he shouted and led the raiding army towards the shrine.
oO0Oo
Knuckles was relaxing, enjoying the sun as it shone brightly down on the planet, warming it to the smallest blade of grass. The red echidna felt a small twinge of unease. A small feeling in his gut told him something was watching him. The tough echidna looked out to the trees around him, violet eyes scanned the forest for something that might be hiding in the trees. When he saw nothing, he shrugged and continued relaxing, pushing the feeling of unease aside.
"CHARGE!" the battle cry had Knuckles on his feet in a super sonic second. He saw a black creature with a large weapon charge out of the trees. The hot-headed echidna watched as more black creatures followed. They all ran out of the cover of the trees towards him.
"What now?" Knuckles wondered. As the black creatures came closer the red echidna frowned and glanced back at the Master emerald.
"After the Master Emerald, are they? Well, they'll have to get through me first!" Knuckles thought angrily and charged down the steps of the shrine with a battle cry. His spiked fists appeared to be a bit bigger than normal as he threw a punch forward at the first few attackers that came within hitting range. Three black, armed beasts went flying through the air and landed in the trees. They were soon followed by two more as Knuckles threw his other fist at more attackers that were too slow to swing their weapons at Knuckles.
The sound of a familiar plane engine filled the air. Knuckles caught sight of a blue-and-yellow plane swooping in to land.
"Sonic's here" he thought slightly relieved. The red echidna dodged a swinging weapon and swung his fist. The black attacker dodged the angry echidna's attack and managed to swing his weapon again. Knuckles blocked the black creature's attack with one fist and swung his other spiked 'hand'. This time his fist connected with a jaw, sending the black beast sailing through the air.
oO0Oo
Sonic Tails and Amy kept their gazes on the island below them, looking for any sign of trouble. Sonic was beginning to tire of the search until something caught his eye. Several black forms went flying through the air and landed in the trees shortly after.
"What was that?" Sonic wondered, catching the attention of Tails and Amy.
"What's wrong Sonic?" Amy asked her blue hero. Sonic didn't answer and scanned the area from which the black bodies had come from. He spotted more of the black creatures in a clearing. They appeared to be fighting a small red figure. Sonic immediately recognised his friendly rival Knuckles.
"Tails, Down there" Sonic shoutedpointing down to where the fight was going on. Tails' eyes followed Sonic's pointed finger to the ruins of the Matser Emerald clearing. His eyes widened when he saw Knuckles battling the black creatures by himself.
"Prepare to land!" the fox called to his two friends and brought the plane down towards land, aiming for the clearing. The plane came low over the fighting enemies.
"I'll get off here" Sonic said and winked at Tails. He jumped off the Plane's wing, curled into a ball and started Homing-attacking the black creatures. Tails landed the Tornado and jumped out, followed by Amy who had her piko-piko hammer at the ready. Tails grabbed some sort of large gun from a small compartment in the Tornado. The two brave heroes ran into the battle field, Amy swinging her hammer like crazy and Tails shooting like a mad-man. Sonic managed to fight his way through the black beings to Knuckles, who was redder than usual.
"Hey Knuckles" Sonic greeted his friendly rival.
"What took you so long?" Knuckles asked punching another black creature sky high.
"Nice to see you too" Sonic smirked while homing-attacking another evil guy.
While our favourite heroes were fighting, the fourth alien team snuck up to the aged shrine, keeping their eyes on the glowing gem. As they reached the steps that led up to the glowing gem, they were halted by a pink hedgehog with a rather large hammer.
"Not so fast" she said raising her hammer, ready to strike. The team hesitated slightly before charging forward. Amy swung her hammer hard at the first few attackers, sending them flying through the air. The other black creatures readied their weapons and continued to charge the tough hedgehog.
"Take THAT!" the pink hedgehog cried as she hit two more enemies into the air. She continued to swing her big hammer, but her attackers kept on coming. She was slowly getting pushed back, up the stairs towards the Master Emerald. The pink hedgehog began to get desperate and swung her hammer faster and harder, but this only tired her out quicker. The black creatures came at the pink hedgehog with growing confidence. One finally succeeded in knocking Amy off her feet. Amy fell on her back, hitting the hard rock with an "Oof". The black creature that had knocked her over, advanced on her. Before Amy could get back on her feet, the black creature swung his weapon, sending the pink hedgehog rolling down the stairs of the shrine. She came to a stop on the green grass. Too exhausted to get back up, Amy lay where she was, eventually closing her eyes as she fell unconscious.
The rest of the team of black creatures quickly grabbed the glowing gem. They were about to make their escape when an angry voice stopped them…
"LEAVE THE MASTER EMERALD ALONE!" the angry shout made the team pause in slight fear. Knuckles came charging up the Master Emerald shrine. He was much redder than usual and seemed to be surrounded in a slight red glow. The angry echidna threw a really hard punch at the black creatures, hitting several of them sky high. The Dinosaur-like creatures didn't have time to aim a strike with their weapons, because Knuckles' other fist came swinging around and hit half of the team back into the forest. The remaining creatures managed to get their weapons out, but before they could say 'Arrgh', Knuckles had used both of his spikey fists to hit the remaining creatures a mile away-literally.
Sonic was having a rather 'fun' time with the leader of the black rhinos. The general was a good challenge for our blue hero, maybe too good. His fighting skills along with years of experience matched Sonic's speed and hard attacks.
The blue hedgehog homing-attacked the black leader. The black creature's giant axe blocked the spiky-spinning ball. The two were locked in that position.
"You fight well, blue warrior. The Rophiicks could use your speed and agility" the black leader said, offering the blue hedgehog to join him. Sonic gave up trying to break through the axe. He flipped backwards and landed gracefully on his feet.
"No thanks. I'm good" the blue hero said motioning the leader to attack with his hand.
"Pity. I guess you'll have to die along with the rest of your friends. No one will stand in our way forever" the black leader said before charging forward. Sonic barely managed to dodge the swinging axe. It grazed his right arm, leaving a red gash. Blood immediately started to pour out. Sonic felt the sting of the new wound and clenched his teeth, trying to ignore it. The black general noticed Sonic's pained look and gave a twisted smile before lunging forward again. This time, Sonic jumped up above the black leader and homing-attacked him from there. Just before he hit the armoured alien, Sonic unrolled and brought his foot down over the metal helmet. The unexpected attack caught the black lord off-guard and sent him skidding back a couple of metres. The black creature grunted and managed a sitting position. He held a hand to his head where Sonic had struck him. The blue hedgehog walked up to the black creature, stopping at a safe distance.
"There's no point. You should give up now. My friends and I have defeated your army. You're out-matched. The black leader looked around to see his army of 150 Rophiicks, reduced to less than 20 who were still fighting. The General looked back at the blue warrior in anger.
"Who are you?" he demanded. His voice was angry but had a hint of curiosity in it. Sonic smirked.
"I'm just a guy with a need for speed. They call me Sonic the Hedgehog" the blue hero answered with a grin.
"You're a worthy opponent, Sonic the Hedgehog, but nothing can stand in our way! Rophiicks, retreat" The black leader called to the survivors of his army.
"We'll meet again soon, Sonic" the defeated general spat out Sonic's name.
"Wouldn't miss it" the blue hero smirked. Then surprisingly, the black creature disappeared. Thoroughly surprised by the black Lord's disappearance, Sonic looked around to see the rest of the black creatures disappear also.
"Rophiicks... interesting. I'll have to ask Tails to look into that" Sonic thought. He looked around to make sure his friends were alright. He saw Knuckles with the Master Emerald; Tails was looking around at the scene, picking up dropped items from the black alien's armour and weapons. Amy was…AMY!
"AMY!" Sonic shouted, getting the attention of Tails and Knuckles. The three heroes looked around for the pink hedgehog. Sonic glanced around worriedly. His eyes darted around the clearing frantically until they spotted a lump of pink behind the Master Emerald shrine.
"AMY!" sonic cried and ran over to her. Tails spotted the pink hedgehog and followed his blue buddy. Knuckles ran down the shrine and joined his two friends.
"Is she alright?" he asked. Sonic knelt down by his unconscious friend. He let out a relieved sigh when he saw the faint rise and fall of her chest.
"I think she's alright" he said and picked up the petite hedgehog in his arms, bridal style.
"We should take her back home. She might need urgent medical attention" Tails said. His blue eyes caught sight of Sonic's bleeding wound on his arm.
"And you too" the calm fox said. Sonic glanced at his arm and shrugged.
"I'm alright. It doesn't hurt that much" the blue hero lied. The deep cut felt like it was on fire. Tails eyed his blue buddy. Sonic's green eyes looked down at Amy, avoiding his friend's gaze.
"We need to make sure Amy's alright first" Sonic said. Tails looked down at the pink hedgehog and nodded in agreement.
"We'll go to my house" the fox said. With one more glance at Sonic's arm, he went off to start the Tornado. Sonic looked back at Knuckles.
"I'll come along. Those beasts won't be coming back any time soon" he said. Sonic smirked at the red echidna in agreement before following Tails back to the Tornado, Amy still in his arms. The plane's engine's started up as Knuckles and Sonic ran over to the blue plane. Sonic carefully placed Amy in the back seat and then he jumped onto one wing of the plane. Knuckles climbed onto the other. Tails quickly looked over his shoulder to make sure everyone was ready for take-off and then he lifted the Tornado into the sky, heading for Tails' place.
oO0Oo
Just out of the healthy planet's atmosphere, a battle ship waited. In a dark room with several large windows that overlooked the big planet, a red-caped creature stood. His glowing orange eyes scanned the healthy planet, taking in its colours and patterns. The black beast had two horns that stood tall on his head. He wore a black cape that was red on the inside (like a magicians cape). He had a sharp row of spikes run down his head and back and then finish at the tip of his tail.
The black beast was awaiting the return of his raiding party. He had sent them out almost an hour ago to capture a large energy source that was needed to complete their evil plan.
His silence was interrupted when a door slid open and someone walked in. Without turning around the beast addressed his general,
"What news do you bring me, General Armande?" General Armande kneeled before speaking,
"Master Tryant, the raiding expedition has failed. We weren't strong enough to defeat our enemies."
"Who were our opposes?" Master Tryant asked. His voice dangerously low. The general gulped before replying,
"Our enemies were too strong for us. There was a red echidna, a fox with two tails, a pink hedgehog and…a blue hedgehog" Armande's voice was a little shaky and nervous, but it did harden a bit when he mentioned the blue hedgehog. The black master turned around and walked over to the kneeling general.
"Only four? The powerful Rophiicks were beaten by four Mobians?" Master Tryant loomed over the shaking general.
"Y-yes sir, they-" he was cut off when Master Tryant's clawed fist connected with the side of his head.
"A raiding army of 150 Rophiicks were defeated by FOUR Mobians! What a disgrace! You've just ruined the fear that strikes other beings hearts when they hear the name!" the angry Master's voice shouted.
"Our enemies now know what we're after. They'll be prepared for our next attack. Now the plan must be re-scheduled unless we get what we came for within the next two days!" Master Tryant grabbed Armande by his black armour and pulled him up. He brought his fist back, ready to strike again.
"Tell me general, who dares challenge the greatness of the Rophiicks!" the angry beast asked. General Armande shakily replied,
"There was a blue hedgehog among them. His speed and skills were too great. He called himself 'Sonic the Hedgehog'" the general closed his red eyes tight and prepared for the beating to come. It never came.
"Sonic" Master Tryant repeated the name. His voice was full of anger. His eyes were distant, as if remembering something, then they focused on the shaking general. The black master's fist didn't lower, instead several rows of sharp, metal spikes appeared on his wrist. In a flash, Master Tryant racked his small weapon across General Armande's face, causing the general to cry out in pain. A green slime came out of the new wounds that would scar.
"Let that be a warning. Never fail me again-or else a much more terrible fate will be yours" Master Tryant warned. He left the moaning general and exited the star gazing room. The black beast walked down a dark corridor, the only sound was the echoes of his steps. At the end of the corridor, there was a door. The door opened automatically. Inside were a screen and a small circle. Master Tryant walked into the circle, immediately the screen showed a picture of a black Rophiick. His horns were completely blood-red. His eyes were piercing and showed anger and were also red.
"King Balel, I have urgent news. Retrieving the energy source has failed. We need back-up and more time" Master Tryant said. His voice was confident and respectful.
"Failed? How has this happened?" the Rophiick king demanded.
"My forces came up against some unexpected Mobians. Among them was a powerful warrior. He goes by the name, Sonic the Hedgehog" Tryant answered gravely. The king was silent for a moment.
"This is disturbing news, Lord Tryant. This hedgehog can ruin our plans, just as he did our friends, the Meterex. We must get rid of this threat before he finds out our plans. Lord Alarik has notified me that the key is heading towards the planet. I will send him to help you defeat this Sonic. Report to me any further progress" the Rophiick said.
"Yes my lord. I shall not fail you" Master Tryant said. Then with that the screen disappeared. Master Tryant stood up and exited the room. Now he must wait for back-up to come.
Tails' House/work shop
Amy slowly gained consciousness again. She was faintly aware of a voice saying her name. The voice was soothing and one she knew all too well.
"Sonic?" she whispered, saying her hero's name. The pink hedgehog's eyes slowly blinked open.
"Amy? Amy, are you alright?" Amy's eyes regained their focus and a blue hedgehog with concern-filled eyes stood over her.
"Sonic?" she mumbled again. The blue warrior's green eyes flooded with relief.
"Amy, it's alright. I'm here. Do you feel okay?" Sonic asked. Amy sat up and quickly recognised her surroundings.
"Why are we at Tails' house?" she asked. Her confused eyes spotted Knuckles standing behind her.
"You were unconscious after the battle. Tails piloted us to his house" Sonic explained. He waited for the confused look in Amy's eyes to clear before repeating his first question.
"I feel fine" the pink hedgehog answered. Her eyes held Sonic's relief filled ones until she caught sight of a white bandage wrapped around his right arm.
"You're hurt!" she gasped. Sonic's eyes glanced down at his arm before he shrugged Amy's concerned expression off.
"It's nothing" he said turning so his other side faced Amy. Amy was about to protest when Tails came into the room.
"Did you find anything?" Knuckles asked, speaking up for the first time. Tails warily shook his head.
"Nothing" Sonic let out a sigh. Knuckles frowned and crossed his arms. Amy glanced at all the Sonic heroes.
"What's going on?" she asked, not wanting to be left in the dark.
"I brought some weapons that the attackers had left behind. I've tried using them to try and find out some information as to who those monsters were, but I've had no luck" Tails explained. Amy cocked her head.
"So we bet those strange aliens?" she questioned. Sonic nodded.
"Sent them running home" he commented with a grin. Amy couldn't help but give a smile at the blue blur's cockiness.
"Whoever those freaks were, they were after the Master Emerald. I'm sure they'll be back again, and soon" Knuckles growled.
"And with stronger forces" Tails added.
"Well I guess we'd better be ready for them" Sonic said.
"It would help if we knew more about them" Amy said. The four friends were silent again. Sonic thought back to when he was fighting the monster's leader.
"Didn't he say something about themselves?" The blue hero racked his brains trying to remember what the black beast had said to him…
"You fight well, blue warrior. The Rophiicks could use your speed and agility…"
"That's it!" Sonic cried, startling Amy, Knuckles and Tails.
"What's wrong Sonic?" Amy asked her blue hero. Sonic looked at the questioning expressions his friends gave him.
"When I was fighting their leader, he said something about 'no one getting in the way of the 'Rophiicks'" Sonic said. He looked up at his buddy Tails. "Do you think you could find something with that name?" Sonic asked. Tails had a hard-thinking look on his face.
"Actually, I think I might remember that name from somewhere…" Tails murmured and scratched his head. Sonic, Amy and Knuckles glanced at each other confused. Tails spent a few more moments thinking before it all came to him,
"Wait a second! I remember now! The Rophiicks were associated with the Meterex. I first heard about the Rophiicks a little after we succeeded in the war with the Meterex. They had secretly been helping the Meterex in their crazy quest for universal domination. The Meterex had promised the Rophiicks freedom and power in exchange for their loyalty and help. But after we defeated the Meterex, the Rophiicks started attacking other planets. They were in search of something powerful and wanted to rule the Universe. The Rophiicks were very powerful and sought after Universal dominance" Tails said, sharing all of his knowledge of the new enemy race. Sonic and Knuckles glanced at each other.
"Universal dominance, huh. That's not surprising" Sonic commented.
"What do you mean they were 'looking for a powerful source'?'" Knuckles asked.
"I'm not sure exactly, but I think the Rophiicks were looking for something really powerful that would give them enough power to overcome all their enemies" Tails explained.
"So then this 'powerful source' is the Master Emerald?" Knuckles asked (obviously not that bright).
"Well considering that the Rophiicks just tried to take the Master Emerald, I think so" Tails confirmed.
"If those creeps think that they can get with in a metre of the Master Emerald without getting my fists in their faces, they'd better think again" Knuckles growled.
"Should we move the Master Emerald to a different location?" Amy suggested.
"Absolutely not! The Master Emerald is not leaving Angel Island!" Knuckles practically shouted.
"But Knuckles, those monsters will be back, we shouldn't take any chances" Amy protested. Knuckles put on a sulky face.
"She's right Knuckles. Would you rather the Master Emerald in the wrong hands or Angel Island coming to land-or sea?" Sonic asked the quick-tempered echidna. He took a few moments of thinking before hesitantly agreeing.
"Where should we move it?" Amy asked. The two hedgehogs, echidna and fox thought hard.
"A place that's close to us and won't be easy to find…I've got it!" Tails cried. Amy Sonic and Knuckles looked at the fox waiting for his solution.
"We could move the Master Emerald to those old tunnels that Sonic and I discovered a little while ago!" Tails suggested. Sonic's face brightened.
"That's a great idea Tails. They're only half a mile away form here" Sonic agreed. Knuckles narrowed his eyes, considering the idea.
"Don't worry Knuckles, The Master Emerald will be perfectly safe there" Amy assured the guardian.
"Fine" he muttered.
"Great! Now that that problem is solved, we should have a way to contact each other if any one of us is in trouble. I'll be right back" Tails said. The young fox left the room, entering again a few moments later with some new gadgets in his arms.
"I wanted to test these out! It's my latest project that I've been working on" Tails explained. He showed the gadgets to his friends. They turned out to be wrist communicators.
"Aren't those the communicators that we used to keep in touch when we were looking for the chaos emeralds, during the war between the Meterex?" Amy asked.
"Not exactly" Tails said. He handed the two hedgehogs and echidna a wrist communicator each.
"I came up with the idea after the Meterex. They don't only let us communicate and locate the chaos emeralds, they also locate each other" Tails explained excitedly.
"I put a small tracking device in each of them so that when we want to find each other, they'll show you where everyone else is" Tails continued.
"So sort of like the chaos emerald locator thingy" Knuckles said putting the wrist communicator on.
"Not exactly, but something like that" Tails answered. He watched as Sonic and Amy put theirs on. Then the clever fox put one on himself.
"You've got spares" Sonic commented, noticing the extra four wrist communicators in Tails' hands.
"Well, I thought that there might be more people joining us on our next adventure or maybe one of us might lose ours or get it damaged…" Tails said.
"Fair enough" Sonic said with a shrug. He turned his on and pushed a few buttons, getting used to it.
"If we're finished, can you show me where these hidden 'tunnels' are?" Knuckles asked impatiently.
"Sure thing, Knuckle-head" Sonic said heading for the door.
"I'll fly us over to Angel Island. It'll be much quicker that way" Tails offered following his two friends.
"I guess I'll just go home-Oh no! I've forgotten! I was meant to go with Vanilla and Cream and cheese on a picnic!" Amy cried. She jumped off the couch and raced out the door. She shot past Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, almost running them over.
"Whoa, Amy!" Sonic cried in surprise as his pink friend shot past him.
"Sorry, Sonic!" Amy called over her shoulder and continued running.
"Where's she off to in such a hurry?" Knuckles wondered.
"I think she said something about Cream" Tails commented. The three heroes continued over to the Tornado and quickly jumped in. Tails started up the plane and took off.
oO0Oo
Hidden in the shadows of several trees, a pair of big blue eyes watched the plane fly on its course to the famous floating island.
The creature, of which the two eyes belonged to, looked down at its hands to a small hand-held device that had super sonic hearing. The creature had heard the whole conversation that had just taken place between the four Sonic heroes.
"This should be easy" the creature thought and continued to watch the plane soar through the blue sky.
Well, that's another chapter over and done with, thanks everyone for reading! Sorry that this chapter was more about Sonic, but I needed to get this part in, and while I was at it a small glimpse of a new character, who is not my own. You could probably guess who though.
If you don't mind, please, please review! I need to know what I should add, if I'm losing the interest of my readers, etc. I'll appreciate it a lot if you press the blue button to the bottom of the page. Thanks again for reading everyone!
