CHAPTER 3

MISSION EARTH PART 2

The next day, Sonic, Manic, and Sonia were finishing up their packing. The boys rushed out of the room and sighed in frustration when their sister still didn't come out. "Come on Sonia! We have to go!" Manic called out and Sonia wobbled out. She had forty bags tetering and tottering on her back. Her brothers looked at each other, at her, back at each other and then bust out laughing.

"Really Sonia?" Sonic chuckled, continuing, "Did you pack the whole closet?"

"Shut up Sonic!" Sonia yelled, glaring at her blue brother. "Ladies have to pack more than boys." She explained and her brothers snickered at her.

"Ok, well….LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN CHILIDOG!" Sonic yelled and raced off. Manic smirked.

"You're on bro!" he yelled running after Sonic, leaving Sonia behind.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Sonia yelled. She grumbled to herself as she slowly walked, trying not to drop her luggage.

Sonic sped up the runway where Aleena was waiting for them. He skidded to a stop in front of her and saluted with his free hand. "Sonic Hedgehog reporting for duty!" He announced and Aleena chuckled. A few minutes later, Manic appeared, also saluting with his free hand. Aleena looked around and frowned at the princes. "Where is your sister?" She asked and before they could answer, Sonia called out.

"Here Mom!" She walked up panting. "Those two left me to carry this luggage by myself!" She yelled glaring at her brothers and Aleena sighed, seeing the amount of suitcases her daughter was carrying.

"Sonia, you will load first." Aleena said and her daughter turned to her brothers and stuck her tongue out.

"What?!" the boys shouted and Aleena glared at them. "Since you two so kindly let your sister carry all those bags here, you will help her load each one." She instructed.

"But…." They whined and Aleena gave them her – don't argue with me – look and used her magic to lift two loads off of Sonia and lowered one load onto Sonic and the other onto Manic. The boys glared at Sonia and she snickered at them.

"Serves you right." She said and they walked to the ship and up the ramp. They walked in and the boys dumped Sonia's bags off in the last room. Sonia sighed and carried the rest of her luggage to the room and dropped it off. Manic chose the middle room and Sonic chose the first room. The boys sat their bags down and ran out to meet their mother. She explained they would be going to school while on Earth and would be in Kenna's class. She dismissed them and they boarded the ship.

Manic closed the door and Sonic walked into the cockpit. He sat down and turned on the ship. After everything was on, he pulled the throttle forward and the craft sped down the runway. Sonic pulled up and the ship blasted out into space.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Midna was walking in the forest. She reached the end and looked down to see a large white mansion. She noticed there were three people playing in the back. Those must be Talon's children. She thought to herself and suddenly she heard a loud noise above her. She looked up and saw a craft hurdling overhead. She ran after it, unware she had caught the attention of one of the children. As Midna caught up to the craft, she recognized it and called out to her brothers. Shadow and Silver emerged from their ship and when they saw their younger siblings emerge from the dust, dazed and dirty, they chuckled.

Shadow walked up to Sonic and said sarcastically, "Nice landing squirt." He ruffled Sonic's quills and the little hedgehog glared at him.

"Knock it off Shadow." Sonic growled and Manic shook, putting even more dust on his sister. Sonia looked down and when she saw how dirty she was, she screamed and ran back into the ship.

Midna sighed as her two brothers continued to argue, and her mind went back to the three children she had seen.

Back at the mansion, the boys turned to see Kenna staring at the forest. "What is it Kenna?" Kana asked.

"I saw something fall into the forest." She replied, continuing "It looked like a spaceship." Her brothers looked at each other and then followed their sister's gaze, wondering what she had seen. Little did they know, they would soon meet the mysterious strangers.
