CHAPTER 6
Manic awoke the next morning to find Sonic, Sonia and the Book gone. He jumped out of bed, put on his vest and shoes and raced down the stairs. Sonia and Sonic were waiting for him by the door. "About time you woke up." Sonic said, his sister nodding.
"You guys ready?" Manic asked, the other two nodding. Sonic grabbed his brother and sister's hands.
"Let's hurry up and get this over with." He said, dashing through the front door and into the forest.
As Sonic raced through the forest, Sonia asked, "How much further? I don't want my hair to get ruined." The blue hedgehog shook his head.
"Not much further Sis, and don't worry about your hair." He replied. The pink hedgehog rolled her eyes and suddenly, her brother came to a screeching halt.
"Ack!" she cried as she and Manic slammed into their brother and fell backwards. "Sonic! Warn us next time you are going to stop like that!" she yelled and he turned around and pulled them up.
"Sorry sibs." He said and handed the Book to his brother. "You found it bro, so you have to put it back." He explained as Manic reluctantly took it.
The green hedgehog looked at his siblings and said, "You guys are going in with me this time." Sonic shrugged and Sonia's eyes grew wide at the request.
"No way! Caves are dirty and full of bugs and bats!" she yelled and her brothers rolled their eyes. Sonic pushed his sister into the cave as Manic lead the way. As they walked through the tunnels, Sonia stepped or walked around every puddle they came across, as the ceiling was constantly dripping. "This place is so nasty!" she whined, her voice echoing off the walls. The two boys sighed and shook their heads.
Manic stopped and turned around to face his sister. "The room is not much further Sis." He replied and she glared at him. They continued walking and finally reached the room. The three of them walked in and Manic walked up to the stone that was in the center. As he took the Book out of his vest, he couldn't help but feel a little paranoid. Setting it on the stone, he walked up to his siblings.
"Can we please leave now?" Sonia asked continuing, "This place is starting to make my hair friz."
"As you wish, princess." Sonic said and grabbed her and Manic's hands, dashing out of the room and back through the tunnels.
As they emerged from the mouth of the cave, Manic looked up and saw a huge boulder sitting ontop. He touched his medallion and a drum set appeared. Removing the drumsticks from behind his ears, he played a beat and the rock fell in front of the entrance, blocking it. As he turned around, Sonia said with an impatient tone, "I'm ready to go home now."
The young prince walked up to his brother and said, "Care to do the honors bro?" The blue hedgehog smirked and took their hands.
"With pleasure." He said, adding "Now witness the ultimate power of Chaos Control!" They disappeared in a flash of blue light.
Back at the palace, Sora stood in the entry hall, waiting for the three young ones to return. Suddenly, a light appeared, revealing his three children. The kind approached them asking, "Did you kids return it?" They all nodded and he let out a sigh of relief.
Sonia said, "Well, now that our mission is done, I'm going to go fix my hair." She ran upstairs and into their room.
Manic looked at his father and said, "I used my drum set to block the entrance with a boulder. No one will ever be able to remove that Book from its' hiding spot ever again."
Comments and reviews appreciated. They help me know what to work on.
