Chapter 3: Escape From the City
SONIC'S POV
By the time my brain had caught up with the rest of me, I had taken off and was on… Broad Street, a sign near me said. I tried to stop, or at least slow down, but my feet weren't listening.
"I don't get it. I can't stop my feet!" I thought aloud. Anyone nearby wouldn't have been able to hear what I said. Although even my own voice sounded weird! Especially because I was listening with the constant beeping. Seriously, where was that coming from? I dodged a couple of cars, jumped over one and heard a screech behind me. "He he, sorry." I called over my shoulder. I continued on my run. Besides, even if I could stop, it would be suicide here I reminded myself. Although I thought I saw Sam on my way talking to a teen…
SAM'S POV
"Listen, punk. Your car may be cool, but if you don't wear a seat belt, you're a fool." I was about to give him a ticket, but a familiar blue streak caught my eye. "That was Sonic!" I stated and turned to face the punk again. "Thanks to him you're not getting a ticket today!" I shoved him to the side and hopped in my car, telling him to get a haircut. "I got you now Sonic!" I told myself. In the radio I told the base where I was. Another person responded.
"Hey, Uncle Sam. This is Chris." He said.
"When you're on this frequency it's S-Team leader, got it?" I immediately corrected him. Doesn't he know these things by now? "Besides, I can't chit-chat right now. I'm on a mission" To prove who's the faster one. I added in my mind.
"Sorry, but I need to talk to you about Sonic." He said. How did he know that's who I was chasing? Probably he was watching from their plane.
"If you're calling to ask me to go easy on him, forget it." I didn't want to hear him.
"But he's acting really strange today. We're worried that their might be something really wrong with him." He told me with concern.
"There must be, if he thinks he can beat me." I told him, dead serious. I laughed to myself as I sped up, cutting our connection in the process. Pretty soon, I was right next to him. I smiled to myself. "I got him now." Or at least, that's what I thought. He suddenly sped up, a look of surprise on his face. "All right." I whispered. He wanted speed, he got it. I pushed the petal to the floor and an obnoxious beeping met my ears. I began to slow down. "Huh? Out of gas!" I was at a stop, drivers having to dodge to get through. "That little hedgehog may have outrun me this time, but there's always next time! I'll get him." I told myself confidently.
SONIC'S POV
After I had passed by Sam, a siren met my ears. Sam quickly pulled up so we were right next to each other. Or we were, until I suddenly sped up. My legs became a blur.
"What's going on?" I yelled to myself. I didn't worry much, but this was freaking me out. Behind me, Sam stopped for some reason. A little further on, and I slowed to my regular speed. Or at least, my feet did. I had no say in the matter. I raced past a newspaper stand, knocking a few over in the process. If I could, I would have stopped and help pick them up, but I couldn't stop. I'm must seem like such a jerk right now. I didn't have much time to think about that, because a loud horn brought me to my senses.
"Oops." I said as I dodged the bus. Instead of staying in traffic, I decided to go underground. It's got to be safer underground, right? I almost got hit by a subway going one way and barely managed to jump on the other. Talk about a close shave! I raced to the end of the subway I was on.
"I hope there is light at the end of this thing!" It's too dangerous to run on the streets. But where else can I go? Then it hit me. The desert, perfect.
AMY'S POV
We were in the X-Tornado, searching for Sonic. Where is he?
"There's Uncle Sam." Chris said.
"Looks like he's trying to catch up with Sonic." Tails added. Where? I began searching the landscape below me. I tuned out after Chris said he was going to radio his uncle. Where are they looking? Then I saw him. Now that I had visual, I tuned back in.
"He acts weirder than Sonic." Chris said. I didn't bother asking what he meant. Suddenly, Sonic went underground. Tails pulled a couple loops around the city while we desperately searched for where he came up at.
"There he is." Chris pointed out. Tails and I followed his gaze.
"He's heading towards the desert." Tails noticed. I grew confused.
"I wonder why he's heading there." I thought aloud, speaking for all three of us. Tails aimed the X-Tornado at the desert and we began following him.
Okay, well like I said, I would use other points of view on occasion. I'm sorry if I make anybody OOC, past or future. I have question for all you reviewers: Should I uplode more than one chapter a day? I will, if enough of you guys say yes. Oh, and before I forget, the previous chapter title was the first line of Reach For The Stars, from Sonic Colors. Thanks for all the reviews!
