Hello everybody. Sorry for the long wait for an update. Well anyways have fun reading the next chapter!
After the accident, Sonic and Amy decided to take one of the subways back to Sonic's place. As they rode, Amy fell asleep on Sonic's shoulder. He noticed this and smiled a little as he stroked her quills. Then his mind drifted back to Knuckles. His body in the flames, already dead from the explosion. Sonic shuddered a little bit. Finally the train arrived at its destination. The 2 hedgehog's walked off and went to Sonic's place.
Sonic went to the door of his uncle's apartment and rang the doorbell. There wasn't any answer for a while. Sonic rang it again. Still no answer. Then Sonic heard the roar of a familiar Nissan engine coming up to meet them. Sonic frowned as Amy hid behind him.
Shadow got out of the car with a gun in his hands and his Chaos energy looking like it was ready to burst out of him any second.
"SHADOW!!" Amy screamed.
"Get in the car, Amy" Shadow said. Sonic ran up to Shadow with every intent in his mind to kill him. Sonic threw a punch at his face that would have shattered a lesser persons bones. Shadow countered with a punch of his own to the midsection. They continued fighting with neither one giving any ground. Sonic finally pushed Shadow into his car, which gave Shadow the opening to grab his gun and point it right at Sonic. At that moment, Chuck stepped out the door with his own weapon pointing at the onyx male.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Chuck told him, as he cocked his gun back. The trio stared at each other in relative silence until Amy, knowing what would make Shadow stop, spoke up.
"Ok, Shadow. I'll go with you." she said. Sonic looked at her. "I'll be ok, Sonic."
Shadow stared at Sonic for a little while before finally pulling the gun away.
"See you when Uncle's not around, Faker" Shadow said before finally getting in the car. He and Amy drove off while Chuck kept his gun pointed at the car til it drove off.
"Your leaving. Right now." he told Sonic. Sonic gave him a bewildered look and grabbed his shoulder.
"No. This is my mess. And I gotta clean it up. You can understand that right?" Sonic asked him. Chuck just looked at him and shook his head.
"Sonic, your mother would be proud of you. At least you aren't redoing my mistakes. Now go."
Later that night, Sonic met up with Tails in an underground parking garage. As Tails pulled up, he just took one look at Sonic and knew what he was planning.
"Are you all right?" Tails asked.
"Yeah...I'll be fine." Sonic told him. Tails looked at him and told him what the rest of the gang was planning.
"Sonic...We're leaving town. What with the Yakuza after our heads and Knuckles dead, we can't stay here. I know a place right outside the island on the mainland. We can stay there and lay low..." Sonic cut him off.
"No, Tails. Sorry little buddy but I ain't laying down that easy. I'm going to try to settle things with Robotnik." Tails had to double take to realize what he just said.
"What?!" Tails said.
"Shadow answers to him. If I go to Robotnik, I might be able to end this." Sonic said. Tails got red in the face from anger and yelled.
"What are you, crazy?! Sonic, you can't just walk up in Robotnik's base, man!" Tails yelled. Sonic still kept a semi-calm demeanor about himself.
"Its...its all I got, bud." Sonic said. Tails looked back at his car, for he remembered something in the back which might help. He motioned for Sonic to follow him. Sonic obliged and Tails opened up his back hatch. He fiddled around the hatch cover until a screwdriver fell out. He used the screwdriver to pop out one of the subwoofers. He reached in the now empty cavity to pull out a brown bag, which he handed to Sonic while he put his sub back. Sonic opened the bag and found a lot of cash in the bag.
"Something I think Knuckles would have wanted you to have. And your gonna need it if you are planning on getting in to Robotnik's base alive." Tails told him.
"Don't you need it?" Sonic asked him. Tails shook his head.
"No. I'll figure it out. Just don't kill yourself."
That night, Sonic went over to Robotnik's base to try to settle everything. He even had a plan as for what he would request as a solution. As he walked in, he was met with a lot of mean looking robots which he assumed were Robotnik's bodyguards. As he finally entered the Doctor's chamber, he found him sitting in a big chair surrounded by robots, along with Shadow and Amy.
"Whats he doing here?" Shadow asked whoever happened to be listening. Two guards appeared in front of Sonic. Robotnik waved them off. Sonic approached his desk and laid down the bag of money.
"Dr. Robotnik...I have something which belongs to you, sir." Sonic told him as he sat the money down. Robotnik looked less than pleased with this, much to the blue blur's surprise.
"Did you really think that you could walk in here, dump some cash on my desk, and walk out?" he asked.
"Honestly, sir, I didn't. I've come to apologize. I know your creation and I have embarrassed ourselves badly over the past few months..."
"Doctor, don't listen to this faker!" Shadow began to say, but was cut off by Robotnik.
"Continue"
"Well, sir. I've come to offer a peaceful solution"
"How do you plan to accomplish that, Hedgehog." Robotnik asked.
"A race." Sonic said simply. "And the loser leaves town, for good." Robotnik was laughing at this. "Please, sir. Your creation and I have caused nothing but problems for you, and ourselves. Please allow us to settle this once and for all."
"I've already beat this piece of shit once!!" Shadow yelled.
"Good" Robotnik said. "Then this should be easy for you." Shadow was furious, but still bowed, showing his respect to Robotnik. Sonic mearly smirked and left, after bowing himself.
In the morning, Sonic, Tails, Amy, and the rest of the crew went back to the garage, which had been siezed by the police, to see if they could get another car. Much to their dismay, the police had impounded all of the cars. All hope seemed lost, that is until Cream found something in the back. It seems the police forgot to take the Mona Lisa, as it still lay in the back. Sonic popped the hood and, much to his delight, the engine was in mint condition, a Nissan SR20 motor.
"Great. We have a motor, and might I add, a nice one. But we need a body." Tails reminded them. Sonic thought about it for a minute, when he remembered something(a/n think a couple chapters ago.)
"I know the perfect body." Sonic told everyone.
I'm stopping there. I'm tired and its like 1 in the morning. Have a nice day everyone! The next chapter will end this story. Finally!!
