Day 2
3:00 AM
Eggman's base
Vector finally woke up after such a long time. He was tired, weak, and hurt. Two robots were next to him as one was holding his head upright. Vector couldn't speak because of how weak and parched was. Just then, a voice came up on an intercom. "Vector the Crocodile! For not telling me where the last chaos emeralds are, you will be slowly executed along with your friend, Knuckles in a few minutes. Vector had a face of disappointment, defeat, and disbelief. A bright light was shining on Vector, giving a noticeable appearance. "Start on my command," Eggman's voice said on an intercom. Vector closed his eyes as a tear fell out, hoping the time would pass. Behind the main room, Knuckles and Espio got into a hidden position. Espio was using camouflage and Knuckles was hiding in the shadows. "You may begin," Eggman said. The robots were wielding a crobar each. Suddenly, Charmy got into the middle of the room. "Na, na na na, na!" Charmy taunted. "Come and get me, egghead!" He yelled as he started to retreat. Charmy was heard laughing as he ran away into the hallway. "Grrr! Get back here you little rascal!" Eggman yelled as he chased him. "Don't stop! Go on!" Eggman yelled to the robots. One robot hit Vector on his torso, knocking him down on his knees. The other hit his head, making a cut as Vector fell onto the floor. Knuckles and Espio silently made "ooh" and "ouch" comments. Knuckles and Espio started their plan. Espio got out of his camouflage and he and Knuckles started to charge after the robots. "What's up, you filthy bucket of bolts?!" Knuckles yelled as he punched the robot in the torso. He had punched it so hard it left a hole in it. Espio got a ninja star and threw it as hard as he could and it almost got through the robots head. He then pulled out one kunai and stabbed the torso, destroying it. Four more robots came out to fight. As Knuckles was taking down the robots, Epsio got to Vector's side. "You're alright Vector," Espio told him. Vector suddenly got up, despite how much weakness he had. Espio was impressed. "Let's get our chaos emeralds back," Espio said, smiling. Vector gave a weak smile and nodded. Espio searched the room Eggman was in before Charmy distracted him. Espio opened cabinets and shoved miscellaneous items out of the way until he found the yellow chaos emerald. He ran out of the room and Vector followed him. Knuckles followed them, leaving a pile of metal and wires. Charmy found his way back to Knuckles and the rest of Team Chaotix. "You alright, Vector?" Knuckles asked. Vector gave a thumbs up. "Not on my watch!" Eggman said behind them. The four ran as fast as they could to get away from Eggman. "Split up and meet in the main room!" Knuckles demanded. Knuckles went straight, Vector went to the left with Charmy, and Epsio went to the right. Eggman snarled and decided to go after Knuckles. Knuckles ran for his life. He decided to turn left in another hallway. Meanwhile, Vector and Charmy found a room and went in to try to find a chaos emerald. They found nothing, so they went into the next room. Charmy moved items out of the way and found a box. He opened it and a white chaos emerald was found. "Yes! Let's get out of here, Vector!" As they ran out, Vector stopped Charmy. "What?" Charmy said as be turned around. Vector pointed at a water machine. "That's random," Charmy commented. Vector took a really long time on the water machine. "Wow. You're parched," Charmy said, impressed. Vector finally finished. "Let's go," Vector finally said after such a long time. Charmy smiled that Vector could talk again and they ran back to the main hall. Espio was searching the rooms for the last chaos emerald. He wasn't in luck. "Wherever Eggman hid the emerald, he had it in a good," Espio said to himself. Espio passed by a room with the lights turned off. He turned on the lights and a box was on the shelf. He opened it and the dark blue chaos emerald was revealed. "Never mind," Espio laughed. He started to head back to the main hall. Knuckles was still trying to lose Eggman, but he wouldn't give up. Knuckles had no idea where he was going and he ended up in a corner. He knew he was doomed. He looked back and Eggman was at the back of the hall. "There you are," Eggman slowly said. "You will pay for what you have done." Eggman started to cackle and pulled out his taser. Just then, as Vector and Charmy were heading back to the main room, they saw Knuckles and Eggman. Vector stopped and stared at Eggman. His fists clenched in rage. He then got into a position to charge. "Knuckles!!!" Vector yelled as he ran as fast as he could towards Eggman. Vector had an elbow out towards him. Eggman turned and Vector rammed straight into him. Eggman fell and Vector grabbed the taser and pointed it at him. "Remember me?" He said. Vector activated the taser and Eggman was stunned. He saw Knuckles in the corner. "C'mon, Knuckles. Let's get outta here," Vector called. Knuckles ran and they all met at the main room. "What do we do now?" Charmy questioned. "We're going to have to blow up the place," Knuckles replied. "There's a self destruct option in that observation room. Vector, activate it and put it for 10 minutes," Espio informed. Vector nodded and walked to the observation room. A few minutes later, the intercom had a message. "SELF DESTRUCT READY IN TEN MINUTES." Vector walked out of the observation room. "Did y'all find the chaos emeralds?" Because we found one," Vector said as he pulled out the white chaos emerald. Espio smiled. "I found the rest," He said, pulling out the yellow and dark blue chaos emeralds. Knuckles smiled. "Awesome," He commented. "Can we go home now?" Charmy asked. Everyone had forgotten that the time was four in the morning. "Well, it seems that we are nocturnal for the day," Vector joked. "Alright, let's go now," Vector said.
