Chapter 4

I'm finally done with my exams! YES!! And now, I can write the next

chapter! This might be a bit rushed, though, okay? R&R.

Just as the three friends were heading toward a huge tunnel, Salley stopped,

for she sensed something strange.

Sonic and Chip stopped when she did.

"Why'd you stop?" asked Sonic.

Salley shushed him. She then sniffed the air a few times and then inhaled

deeply. "I can smell blood nearby."

The werehog began to feel worried. "Uh oh. You're not gonna start a

frenzy, are you?"

Salley shook her head. "No, but…this scent…it's very different compared to

any other mortal I've smelled."

"How can you even tell?" asked Chip.

"Because vampires have a strong, keen sense of smell. But also because I

have my father's genes. And I believe the scent's coming from this way." She

pointed straight ahead. "Be on your guard, boys."

With that being said, the three creatures continued on walking again.


After a few minutes, they saw several alien-like monsters dancing near the

entrance of the bridge.

Chip said in a scared tone, "Wh-what are those things?"

"I don't know," said Salley. "But they sure are ugly."

Sonic growled. "They're blocking our path. I guess we have no choice, but

to destroy them."

Salley and Chip nodded in agreement and began charging for the monsters.

While Chip distracted them, Sonic stretched out his arms, which were

extremely flexible, and strength to attack them.

Salley used her dark powers and karate reflexes to defeat them.

After Sonic and Chip did their job, they turned to see the cat-girl spin around

while kicking her legs to knock out a few more creatures.

After they were all defeated, they disappeared into black mist.

Salley cracked her knuckles and rolled her head around her neck.

She then happened to notice Chip and Sonic staring at her in astonishment.

"What…was…THAT??" asked Chip enthusiastically.

Salley was confused at first. "Huh?" She then realized what Chip was talking

about. "Oh, that. Well…" She giggled and blushed.

"Seriously, Salley. That was awesome!" said Sonic. "Where did you learn

those moves?"

"Thanks to my father's most trusted advisor, Rox the Kitsune. He taught me

everything I need to know about martial arts. Then, Bone helped me improve

my techniques."

Sonic smiled. "Well, with those reflexes and that strong nose of yours, we

shouldn't have a problem going against those monsters."

Salley smiled back and nodded.

The three friends began to walk over the bridge and straight ahead, until

they reached a sealed door.

"Allow me," said Sonic, rubbing his hands together. There, he put his hands

underneath the door and started to slowly lift it up. Then, it was finally open.

When the three animals went inside, they saw more aliens coming towards

them.

Sonic smirked. "Would you look at that? The more, the merrier."

"Can we just kick their assess already?" asked Salley.

Sonic nodded and began charging at the monsters as Salley and Chip

followed.


Several minutes later, every single monster had disappeared into black mist.

Chip rooted with joy, "That was tight!"

"You bet it was," said Sonic. He turned to the cat-girl. "Good work, Salley."

"You weren't bad yourself, Werehog," replied Salley.

Sonic then turned to a tall building behind him and saw a figure hiding at the top of it.

He recognized him as a golden fox with cerulean blue eyes, white gloves, red

and white shoes, and two tails.

"Hey, Tails," he called out to the fox.

Tails recognized the voice. "Sonic?"

When the clouds moved past the moon, the werehog was visible. "What are

you doing out here?" he asked.

Tails stared at him blankly. "Sonic…is that really you?" He used his two tails

to fly to the area where the others were. He examined Sonic again. "That's a

new look. What happened?"

As Chip appeared from behind Sonic, the werehog answered, "You know me.

Never a dull moment."

The maroon Chihuahua flew in front of Tails and took out his candy bar.

"Want some chocolate?"

The fox was a bit stunned, but said, "Uh, thanks." He took the chocolate bar

and put it in his pocket.

Salley was surprised. "Another friend?"

Sonic turned to the cat-girl and then back at Tails. "Oh, yeah. That's Salley.

She's a new friend of ours."

Salley crossed her arms. "I'm not your friend, Werehog!"

Tails was confused. "'Werehog'?"

"Long story," said Sonic.


After Sonic explained what had happened as the four friends walked to the

windmill, Tails said, "That's some story. I'll bet that means that you turning into

a werewolf and the planet breaking apart are somehow related."

Sonic clenched his fist. "I need to find Eggman and make him fix this, and

FAST!"

Chip was pretending to throw some punches behind Sonic's back.

"For once, I agree with Werehog," said Salley. "I think it also had something to

do with me and my cousin's separation."

Tails suddenly jumped in front of the others, making them stop. "About

that…I think I know someone who might know something about what's going on

here."

"Oh, really?" asked Sonic.

Tails nodded. "Professor Pickle over at Spagonia University. I came to this

city to gather some data. If we add that to his research findings, we might be

able to get to the bottom of all this." He turned to see Chip air swimming and

walked up to him.

"Spagonia?" said Sonic as he walked over to Tails and Chip. "That's a

continent over. An easy jog, if the planet weren't broken."

Tails stopped near a huge, red airplane. "No problem! My Tornado-1 will get

us there in a flash. Let's get going!"

Sonic smiled. "Leave it to you, Tails! Let's get moving!"

He, Tails and Chip got on the plane while Salley didn't.

Sonic was confused. "What? You're not coming with us, Salley?"

"Werehog, I'm a vampire, remember?" Salley replied. "I can keep up with you

with my wings."

"Okay, if that's what you want."

Tails had started the engine and the plane began to move. He turned over to

the perfect take-off spot and waited for Salley to get off her feet.

Then, Sonic pointed straight ahead and the plane and Salley took off from

Apotos to Spagonia.

Sorry about the wait, everyone. Been busy lately. I'm psyched about

summer. Now, just to let you all know, I won't be available on the 29th of

this month because I'm going on a three day vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge in Poconos.

After that, I've got two summer music camps, clarinet lessons, two birthday parties, and

possibly an animation workshop to attend. But, I'm sure I'll have time

typing more of this stuff.
