"Is she waking up?" a small voice asked.
"Wha?" Megan mumbled, opening her eyes. "What happened?"
She sat up looking around. She didn't have to look far. Right in her face was the cuteness, otherwise known as Maddie. Megan's eyes got really wide.
"Oh good you're awake," said the little tortoise shell. "Now, Shadow wants to know if you're going to be screaming at them all day, or should he just kill you now?"
Megan blushed, realizing how stupid she must seem, "Sorry, I'll stop…"
Maddie nodded, "Good. Now get me some food, I'm hungry."
"Okay…" Megan said not really believing that all of this was happening. "I'll get the dry fo-"
"Whoa whoa whoa! Slow down girl," the kitten said with a hiss. "Who says I want to eat any of that crap. And I doubt our guests want to eat it either."
Megan looked a little taken back then said, "Okay then what will it be?"
"I think pizza sounds good," Maddie said.
"No way! Chili dogs!" a voice whined from behind Megan.
Megan sighed, knowing who it was, "Sonic, I can't get both chili dogs and pizza. And not everyone here likes chili dogs."
Sonic rubbed the bump on his head, "Oh okay, I just thought that since you attacked me you would be at least nice enough to get me what kind of food I'd like."
Megan bit back a rude comment and sighed, "Chili dogs then?"
Sonic smirked, "With extra chili!"
"But I want pizza!" Maddie complained tugging on Megan's jeans. "Mommy please!"
Not able to resist, Megan said, "Fine! We'll order pizza, go down to Sonic and get the chili dogs, come back, and by then the pizza should have arrived."
"Go down to Sonic?" the blue hedgehog asked. "They have a restaurant named after me!"
"Uhh," Megan, "Sure, okay."
"I love this world!" Sonic yelled jumping up and down.
"We better leave before his ego gets any bigger," Amy whispered to Rouge. She nodded in agreement.
Sonic heard this and said, "Ha ha! Very funny."
"Well it's the truth," Shadow said who was sitting on Megan's bed.
"What about you Shadow? Your ego is off the charts too."
Shadow laughed, "Too? You just admitted it Sonic!"
"I… what?" the hedgehog asked confused.
Megan got up and went over to her phone before another fight broke out. She pretended to be dialing the Pizza Shop but was actually calling Alex. She walked into the hall so no one would listen in.
Four rings passed and then Megan's best friend's voice came on. "Hello?" Alex asked.
"Hi Alex it's me. Can you be down at the Sonic in fifteen minutes?"
"Uh," she said with uncertainty, "I can, but Eli's over."
"Fine bring him too… Hey he's over and you didn't tell me? Well say 'Hi' for me!"
"Okay," Alex said. In the background Megan could here her talking. When she came back on Alex laughed, "He says 'back at you!' So we'll be there in fifteen minutes?"
"Perfect!"
"Do you want me to bring anything?" Alex said. Please say yes. Please say yes, she thought.
"Bring whatever you want. I gotta go. Bye," Megan said hanging up the phone and then began dialing the Pizza Shop. Out of the corner of her eye Megan could see something furry. There, peaking behind the slightly opened door a certain little fox was eavesdropping. "Ahh!" he said and ran back in.
Megan was about to run after him, but stopped and shrugged it off. It's not like I did anything wrong. Eli and Alex won't hurt them, she thought.
"Okay let's go," Megan yelled. All of the Sega Characters followed Megan downstairs. Luckily Megan's father was in the office typing and mother was upstairs watching TV. So Megan could leave and be back before either knew she was gone. If they did find out, Megan would be grounded so bad that it made her sick just thinking about it. And if they found out fictional characters were walking around the house and Maddie had the ability to talk, walk on two legs, and wear clothes that would be trouble too. Megan thought that they would take her leaving the house, without an adult, worse.
When they were all outside everyone seemed to relax. Great, no one saw us. We might actually be able to pull this off, thought Megan. Just then Amy let out a scream.
"Ahhh!"
"Amy! What's wrong?" Sonic said, turning around to look at the pink hedgie.
"Look!" Amy said, pointing at the sky.
Everyone looked up at where she was pointing. Right above them was the fattest man in the world other wise known as Eggman. The doctor was in his little floating robot of coarse (I wonder how he fits in there?)
"Eggman!" they all yelled.
"Yes Eggman. I wondered were all of you had gone so I made six copies of a chaos emerald and used chaos control to find you," the old man said.
"Aww. How sweet. He doesn't know what he would do without us," Rouge said in a silky mocking voice.
"Be quiet Batgirl or I'll clip your wings."
"I'd like to see you try!" Rouge yelled getting steamed.
Maddie put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Save it for someone else. He's not worth it."
Rouge thought for a moment and then nodded, "Damn right, that ugly monkey ain't worth my time."
Maddie smiled then looked up at Eggman. He was awfully close to the roof of Megan's house. The oak tree too…
Shadow cocked his gun and pointed it at Eggman, "Now get out of here before I get bored."
Eggman laughed, "You really think I haven't made my Egg Dingy (what he floats in) bullet proof. You are forgetting that I am the mad genius here."
Tails whipped his tails around and hovered off the air, "You're just mad!"
Eggman smirked, "Guilty as charged." He grabbed the controls and began firing lasers. Everyone ducked, except for Charmy. The little bee got his wings fried and fell to the ground. Cream rushed over to help him up.
"Oww!" he said putting his arm on Cream's shoulder for support. "Now I can't fly."
"Ha ha!" Eggman laughed.
Sonic curled up into a ball and began to spin and charge up, but the doctor was ready. He let off a super ray and hit Sonic directly. Sonic went spiraling into the air screaming, "Hot!"
Eggman then aimed at Megan, but Shadow had been quicker. He pulled out a green chaos emerald, grabbed Megan's arm, and said the famous words, "Chaos Control!"
He teleported Megan and him behind the big oak tree Megan used to play on as a kid.
"Stay here," the black hedgehog ordered and teleported again before Megan could say anything.
She peaked from behind the huge tree and saw Knuckles throw one of the rocks, that made up her dad's garden, at Eggman. And those are some big rocks.
Above Knuckles was Rouge, she was doing a screw kick, but Eggman blocked it. He then shot off another laser and blew up one of the rocks thrown at him. He floated higher and shot Rouge with a laser blast. She fell back and hit the ground.
Knuckles was closest to her so he chucked one more rock at Eggman. Then he ran over and held out a huge hand to pull her up. She took it, but when she tried to get up a spasm of pain ran through her leg. Rouge fell back with a cry. Knuckles stared at her leg and realized that it was swollen. So was her wing. Great, he thought, as if things weren't bad enough. Rouge looked at where he was staring. To her horror she saw that her leg and wing were broken.
Eggman took advantage of this and ran off another round of lasers at them, but Shadow shot the lasers down with his own gun. Then from out of no where they heard a yowl. Maddie jumped off the roof of Megan's house and directly onto Eggman!
"Ahh!" Eggman screamed as Maddie dug her claws into Eggman's fleshy head. He tried rocking the Egg Dingy to throw her off, but Maddie had a good hold on him. He then flung the controls to the right so violently that the Egg Dingy did a 360 degree turn, causing the little kitten to go flying. Also causing the Egg Dingy to spin out of control.
It kept spinning and twirling around. It actually looked like a top. Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles heads were following it until they all had headaches. Then, the Egg Dingy smashed into the tree Megan was hiding behind, causing it to snap. It began to fall!
"Ahh!" Megan screamed (again!). The tree was going to crush her!
All of a sudden, the tree stopped falling. Megan opened her eyes. She was amazed to see strong arms holding back the tree. Green hands.
"Don't worry miss! The Chaotix Detective Agency is here to save the day," Vector the crocodile said with a toothy grin.
While Megan was staring at his teeth, an invisible hand swiftly took hers and pulled her away.
"Okay Eggman! Time to finish this!" Sonic yelled. He then pulled out a chaos emerald from behind him. Shadow say this and thought that Sonic could use some help, so he pulled out the green chaos emerald again.
"Chaos Control!" Sonic yelled. "Chaos Blast!" said Shadow.
That ugly fat man never stood a chance.
"Ahh!" Eggman screamed as his Egg Dingy blew up, sending him hurtling into the atmosphere.
"Bye!" Charmy yelled and waved adios to him.
"Oh please Charmy. He's not going to wave back," said a voice. Just then the air around Megan shimmered and reveled a purple chameleon, other wise known as Espio.
Megan stared at him for a moment, a little unsure. Then, "Thanks for saving me guys. That tree would have squashed me."
Vector grinned, "All part of being a detective, helping, saving, and rescuing ani- I mean people."
Espio nodded and let go of Megan's hand.
Charmy ran over and said in a high voice, "Glad to help!"
Megan rolled her eyes at the little bee and let out a huff, "Actually Charmy, you didn't help at all. In fact, I remember correctly, you were hiding behind Cream and Tails the whole time."
Cream and Tails giggled when Charmy turned slightly red.
"Heh heh, Charmy. She got you," Tails snickered.
"Yeah, well… What did you do foxboy?" Charmy asked sourly.
Tails stopped laughing and then blushed, "Uh well…"
Charmy had a smirk on his face, "Well?"
Tails was about to give up the argument when Sonic cut in, "Apparently Charmy, he was protecting you."
That got a laugh out of everyone, well, everyone except Charmy. Tails turned to Sonic and whispered, "Thanks."
Sonic grinned and whispered back, "No problamo lil' bro."
Tails all of a sudden felt guilty and began to tell Sonic about Megan's phone call, but was interrupted when Rouge just noticed that Knuckles was holding her.
"What do you think you're doing?" she shrieked and began to squirm.
Knuckles put her down and asked, "What the heck is your problem? You didn't mind until just now?"
Rouge huffed, "I was hurt then, but now I'm fine. Don't you dare touch me again." She turned around and walked over to where Amy and Cream were.
Knuckles growled and said angrily, "Why would I want to?"
Sonic interrupted and said, "Dude, why wouldn't you want to?"
Everyone just stared at him, but Amy did a little bit more. "What did you just say!" she screamed pulling out her piko piko hammer.
Sonic ran behind Shadow, "Nothing ma'am."
Just then, before anyone could say anything more, they heard a voice.
"Whheee!"
Shadow looked around him and then looked up. He saw a certain little kitty sliding down the roof of Megan's house. Maddie skidded to a stop.
"Maddie?" Shadow asked, "How did you get up there?"
"When Eggman made the whole Earth spin. Look out, here I come!" Maddie then kicked with her back legs and hurled herself into the air, like a rocket. Too bad her landing was not as cool.
She just seemed to stop in midair and fall. Boom! The poor kitten landed square on her back.
Everyone rushed over to see if she was okay. The tortoise shell cat got herself into a sitting position. When Maddie was upright she swiped a paw over one ear in embarassment, "You know, that whole 'cats land on their feet' thing is just a myth. I've been jumping my whole life and 99.9 of the time I land either on my head or back."
Megan nodded sadly, "That is true," and helped her up.
"I can't believe you would say something so sexist Sonic," Maddie told him as the little group headed toward the Sonic at the corner.
"Well, I can't believe Knuckles is so gay that he doesn't want to."
Amy had told Maddie of the little incident before Maddie's jumping incident. (Wow there were a lot of incidents!)
"Your mom Sonic," Knuckles commented.
Sonic was about to say something really crushing, but decided against it. No need to get in a fight and get his butt whooped.
Megan smiled knowing that Sonic had lost that round, "Come on guys! Cheer up! Were almost there."
Again Tails felt guilty about not telling Sonic about Alex and Eli. He couldn't speak to Sonic though; he was walking next to Megan.
Come on Tails think. Who can you tell? Tails then decided that Shadow would be the next best thing. Maybe even better.
Tails slowed his pace so that he was at the back with Shadow. The black hedgie looked deep in thought, but then once Tails was right beside him, the hazy look in his eye was gone and Shadow was instantly alert.
"Shadow?" Tails asked, "Can I talk to you?"
Shadow narrowed his eyes and nodded. Now what? he thought.
"When Megan called for a pizza, she first called some people named Alex and Eli. Megan told them to meet her at Sonic."
Shadow's ears perked up. A trap?
"What do you think Shadow? Should we tell the others and run?" Tails whispered with uncertainty and eagerness in his voice.
Shadow shook his head, "No, let's see who and what they are. If they're bad news we run. If not, they might be able to help us get home."
Tails nodded, "Okay, good thinking. I never thought of that."
Shadow didn't respond. He was focusing on Megan. Who are you taking us too? Or what? He then looked at Maddie. Are you in on this too? Traitors.
