Chapter 4: Looking for Eggman
Everyone sighed, trying to come up with a plan against Eggman.
"It will be a pointless effort, but is it really worth a try at all," Zor said, sighing.
"Let us make a plan for when he does come," Zavok said.
Zonic nodded and looked at them. "What powers do I have as a Zeti?"
"We have the innate ability to manipulate magnetic fields, which lets us control electronics," Master Zik said.
"But he can conch block us," Zomom said.
Everyone glared at him from the lame pun. Zonic nodded and turned to Zazz. "Any other powers?"
Zazz cackled, "We are very strong and have energy blasts too!"
Zeena sighed, irritably as Sonic looked on confused. "We have many other powers such as energy blasts, superhuman strength, speed and agility."
"That's...that's awesome," Zonic said, a grin forming on his face.
"Why do we have to wait? Can't we just find him. Spare us this disappointment," Zor said.
"Yea! No waiting! Let's go find hm!" Zazz shouted.
Master Zik looked at them. "Patience is a virtue...but I, too, am eager to confront him."
"So am I!" Zonic said.
All of the Deadly Seven were excited to meet Eggman once more and show him their new member of the group. They wanted to see the Doctor's reaction. But the member who wanted to see Eggman's reaction most of all was Zonic. He wondered how Eggman would take it when he found out that he had been transformed into a Zeti. Zonic knew that Eggman would try and fight him again but this time would be different.
Zonic had given into the evil that the Zeti was. He knew it wasn't who he was, but it was who he had to be now. He looked at Mecha Tails. "Are you going to fight also?"
"I live to serve my Masters and Mistress. I shall do want they want," Tails told Zonic.
Even though he had changed, it still pained him a little seeing his buddy like this. Zonic sighed and nodded, looking at the robot, then back to Zavok. "When shall we leave?"
"Soon," the Zeti leader said.
The new Zeti frowned; that wasn't a very satisfactory answer. The dark blue Zeti wanted to find Eggman now and see his reaction to seeing him, Zonic, as a Zeti. If he figures out it's him first. "Why not now?" He asked.
"Just in case Eggman is on his way right now," Zeena told Zonic. The new Zeti turned to her. "If we move we could go on a wild goose chase to get what we want."
Zonic folded his arms and huffed. He hated waiting, especially for Eggman's attacks. Why couldn't he just run around the Lost Hex to try and see if he can find him? It'd be easier. "Can't I go look for him? I really hate waiting."
Master Zik chuckled. "I see your impatient personality hasn't changed. We'll have to fix that." Zonic looked at Master Zik, slightly worried. He wondered what he meant by that. The aged Zeti chuckled, and looked at Zeena and Zazz. "When do you think we should go after Eggman?"
"Now! Now! Now!" Zazz shouted. Zeena stared in shock at the bouncing pink Zeti and sighed in irritation, gritting her fangs.
She sighed and looked at Zonic. "You really want to go ahead?" Her fangs were still gritted from irritation from Zazz and Zonic noticed. He didn't really know how much anger the female Zeti was capable of, but he didn't want to find out either.
"Well...yeah," Zonic said.
The new Zeti looked at Zavok, knowing he had the deciding vote of if he could go ahead and look for Eggman.
Zavok thought about it and sighed. "You may go," he said. "But contact us telepathically if you need anything."
Zonic nodded, and ran off. He was happy to run off and find Eggman and not stand around, boring himself to near tears any longer. He could wait until he found the doctor and saw his reaction when he saw Zonic. Zonic ran across Lost Hex, looking for Eggman. He wondered where he was but he would find the doctor eventually. He ran until he came to a beach with palm trees and stopped there and looked around. He was in the Tropical Coast.
