Sonic X: My way
Chapter 3: Soccer and a chaos emerald.
Chris pov
I sat up with a groan and looked at my clock. 6:30…6:30? "FUCK!" I yelped jumping out of bed and grabbing my soccer uniform. I had just strapped on my shin guards when there was a knock at my door. "What is it, Grandpa?" I demanded hopping on one foot to pull on my long socks. "Are you ready for the game? Elle made the snacks." He murmured trying to soothe me. I threw open the door and dashed past him "Yeah, I'm ready, can we go? I don't want to be late!" I was in the car before anyone could respond.
Tanika and Elle came out shortly after me. "Miss Chris, the game doesn't start for another hour." Said Elle confused y my rush. "Coach told us to be early to practice." I snapped.
We pulled into the parking lot of the soccer fields and I jumped out of the car. I ran to my gathered team and smiled. "Ah, glad you made it, Tank. We could start without our best defender." I grinned at the nickname the team gave me after I told them the story of the boy who played the tank. "Ready to protect my team, sir!" I smiled doing a salute. Coach nodded and turned to my team (The Shadow Runners.)
Time skip (Game in three minutes.)
"Alright, girls, we've got this one in the bag. Work in perfect sink like always. Read each other and most importantly…" we pulled our hands into the air cheering "Protect our sisters!" coach nodded grinning "Now, show those spoiled brats what real soccer looks like!"

I smiled and cheered from the trees. Chris lived up to her nickname as she protected her team and goal with the fierceness of a warrior. The girls seemed to read each others' minds. With one look another girl would know to go after the ball, fake a pass, or go for the goal. And, they were, in human standards, very fast.
Suddenly, the ball came to Chris. She glanced at her team mates, who grinned and nodded, and gave a mighty kick. The ball soared across the field and landed in the goal. The winning goal! The girls screamed in delight and hugged each other. Chris was in the center grinning madly.
The girls lined up and murmured "good game" to the other team, who had sour looks on their faces. The girls ran back to their side of the field and were greeted by a victory tunnel made by the families of the kids.

I smile as the other girls wish me a good game as they head home. I decided to go a few laps around the field before going home. I had told Elle and Tanika to go home before the game started. I had my scooter anyway.
I was doing my tenth lap when I felt something off. I came to a stop slowly and looked around. There was a construction site a little ways away from the field. I felt pulled toward it. I dropped my water bottle and walked followed the pull, and, in the blink of an eye, I was there. I don't know when, but Sonic had joined me. In fact, he was waving a hand in front of my face. I blinked and shook my head knocking his head away from my face.
"When did you get here?" I asked. He sighed in relief "Ten minutes ago. I went after you to ask where you were headed, but you were really out of it." I stayed silent for a moment, letting my legs walk to their own accord. "I needed to be here. I don't know why." I murmured.

I watched the girl in confusion. She was still pretty out of it. Her eyes were almost hollow. She suddenly stopped and looked down. "You find something?" I asked going back to her side. She knelt down and brushed away the first few layers of dirt. Under it was,…NO WAY! "A chaos emerald?" I muttered in shock. My eyes went from the gem to the girl who found it.
She blinked a few times and life slowly returned to those sapphire eyes. "What the hell is this thing?" she asked more awareness in her voice then I had heard for the last twenty minutes. "It's…" suddenly a robot appeared and knocked me away from the girl and jewel. "It and you are both mine!" I looked into the sky. "Leave her alone, Eggman!" I yelled, spin dashing toward the man. The robot got in my way and tried to stop me. I went around him and attacked Eggman's flying seat. (I don't know what it is called.)
What I hadn't noticed, was, while I was getting attacked by the robot, Eggman grabbed Chris. I watched in horror as the man and girl flew away from the force of my attack. I ran after them as fast as I could. By the time I reached them, Chris had somehow managed to get over the side of Eggman's seat and looked like she was about to fall.

The crazy man grabbed me as Sonic was distracted. I tried to fight him off, but I knew right now would be a bad time to try and escape. Sure enough, right as I thought this, Sonic attacked the floating thing and knocked us backward. I fought out of the grip of the man and jumped onto the wing. "Fine, you want to play that way…" he tipped the thing and I fought to keep my grip on the flying thing and the emerald in my hand. "Wait for it, three…two...NOW!" I jumped off the machine and fell toward the ground.

Sonic watched in horror as the young girl fell toward the ground. He wasn't going to make it in time to catch her! He fought to go faster, his eyes glued on the girls falling to the ground. Suddenly, a flash of red appeared across the sky and caught the girl. He screeched to a stop and grinned at the familiar figure before him. "Man, this kid is crazy!" the red creature growled as his eyes went to the past out child he had just saved.
