Me: Hey bitches! How y'all doin?
Dr. Eggman: I'm doing fine, AK.
Everyone: EGGMAN?
Me: Get out of here, Eggman!
Amy: Yeah! Don't you know AK's policy outside the story?
Dr. Eggman: What policy?
Vector: No bad guys outside the story!
Dr. Eggman: Well that seems hardly…AAHH!
(A blast of fire almost hits Eggman)
Blaze: What you did last chapter…you're a dead fat man.
Silver: What she said. (Cracks his knuckles)
Me: And that is exactly why I don't allow bad guys outside the story. They cause trouble. So before I possibly join in the severe beating of Dr. Eggman, I'll start this chapter so you readers can enjoy it. I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or any other characters in his world. Enjoy chapter ten. Hey look at that. The beating started.
(I get up to join the slugfest of Eggman)
Of Chao and Hedgehogs
Chapter 10: Why?
(Mystic Ruins: Residence of Shadow and Tikal; 10:45 PM)
In their house, Shadow and Tikal were in bed, but only Shadow was asleep. Tikal tossed and turned in bed until she thought of an idea. It would probably help her get to sleep and Shadow would like it. Tikal nudged Shadow and he woke up.
"What is it, babe?" Shadow asked groggily.
"I can't sleep."
Shadow's eyes opened up all the way as he knew what Tikal meant whenever she spoke those words in bed.
"Sex?" Shadow asked.
"Of course."
Shadow immediately sat up and put his ungloved hands around Tikal's head to pull her in. Te two of them started to make out hot and heavy for about ten minutes until the phone rang.
"Your turn." Shadow said to Tikal.
Tikal moaned and reached over to pick up the phone. She looked at the caller ID. It was Silver and Blaze's number. She answered it.
"Silver, Blaze, whoever this is, this better be good."
"Tikal, its Silver! I need to talk to Shadow right now!"
Silver sounded frantic.
"Alright, Silver. Calm down. Shadow it's for you."
The black hedgehog reached over and took the phone and Tikal lied back down again.
"Silver, you better be drunk or dying." Shadow said as angrily as he could.
"No Shadow I'm not any of those things."
"Then I'm hanging up."
"NO! DO NOT HANG UP!"
The volume of his voice was so loud even Tikal winced. She started listening to Shadow's end of the conversation.
"Silver, what's going on?
After Shadow heard Silver's answer his ruby red eyes went wide.
"Your house was attacked by Eggman?"
Tikal sat back up.
"Are you and Blaze alright?...Okay…What do you mean there's something else?...Sonic? What about Sonic?...A GUN? I TOLD THAT MORON NOT TO WORRY!...He actually shot Eggman? Where?...Okay. At least he didn't kill him. But I have a feeling that Sonic' is a bit unstable. Do you guys know where he is?...Alright. Call Knuckles and Rouge. I'll phone the Chaotix. We have to find Sonic. See you in a bit."
Shadow hung up the phone and threw the covers off of himself to stand up. He put on his shoes and gloves as Tikal just watched.
"Shadow, what's going on?"
"You know how I told Sonic I wouldn't teach him how to use a gun?"
The echidna nodded.
"Well apparently he taught himself. Eggman attacked Silver and Blaze wanting to know where Sonic is and then Sonic showed up armed with a handgun and shot Eggman's shoulder."
The level of worry just went up for Tikal.
"But when you said no, he seemed fine." Tikal said.
"He was just deceiving us so we wouldn't suspect anything."
Shadow put on his inhibitor rings and headed for the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" Tikal said.
Shadow looked back at his girlfriend.
"I'm going to find Sonic. Blaze and Silver are calling Knuckles and Rouge right now. In fact, I better call Vector and tell him what's going on."
"You're not going anywhere without me." Tikal said as she got up to put on her own shoes.
"Did you not hear me?" Shadow said. 'Sonic has a gun and he's possibly partially insane. I don't want you coming."
Despite his words, Tikal stood up.
"Sonic is my friend just as much as he is yours. In fact, if I recall correctly, I knew him even before you did. So whether you like it or not, I'm coming." Tikal said.
Shadow knew he was beaten.
"Alright." He said.
Tikal got up to get fully dressed as Shadow got on the phone to the Chaotix house. After Shadow hung up the phone, Tikal was ready to go. But before they left, Shadow went over to their dresser and opened up the top drawer. He reached in and fished his hand around until he brought out a 9 millimeter hand gun. Tikal's eyes went wide at the sight of the weapon.
"You're not really going to kill Sonic, are you?" she asked frightened.
"Hopefully I won't even have to draw it." Shadow said as he made the gun vanish behind his back. "But I can't be too careful."
Tikal nodded and then she and Shadow went out the door.
(Emerald Hill; Chaotix House; 11:15 PM)
Inside the Chaotix house, Vector had just told Espio what Shadow had told him.
"Sonic has a gun?" Espio asked in shock.
"Yeah. He shot Eggman." Vector said
"Where?"
"In the shoulder."
A sigh of relief came from Espio as he heard those words. But then the relief was gone.
"Let's go get Charmy and leave." Vector said.
"No." Espio stopped him. "Let him sleep. You and I can take care of this without him."
"You're right. Besides, it's probably best he didn't come with a gun in this and all."
"My thoughts exactly."
"Alright. Let's go. We're meeting over at Silver and Blaze's house. Knuckles and Rouge are already on their way there."
Espio nodded and he and Vector quietly walked out the door and shut it so they wouldn't wake the sleeping Charmy. They locked the door from the outside and headed for Green Hills.
(Green Hill Zone; Residence of Silver and Blaze; 11:45 PM)
After a while, everyone showed up at Silver and Blaze's house and saw the two of them trying their best to cover up the giant hole in the front of their house.
"Hey, why don't you let me take care of that? I did build my own house after all." Knuckles said.
"It's true he did." Rouge said as she smirked and twirled her finger on his chest. "I watched him sweat for hours and he looked so hot."
Knuckles started to blush. Silver and Blaze just looked at them and looked away with sadness. Tikal was quick and saw their faces. She put her hand on Blaze's shoulder.
"Hey, are you alright?" Tikal asked her friend.
Blaze faked a light smile and looked at Tikal.
"I'm okay."
"You're lying."
There was no fooling Tikal. She had a knack for reading people's faces. She was an echidna lie detector.
"What's going on? You and Silver both look upset."
Blaze sighed. There was no avoiding it. She put down the broom in her hands and pulled Tikal aside.
"Okay. Promise me you won't tell anyone."
Tikal nodded in agreement to Blaze's request. Then Blaze pulled Tikal in closer and whispered to her what she and Silver were doing right before Eggman crashed through their wall. As Blaze went on and on, Tikal's eyes grew wider and wider. When she was finished, the level of shock for Tikal was at the max.
"You and Silver were going to…?"
Blaze blushed and nodded. Tikal grew angry.
"Eggman ruined your night. That bastard!"
Blaze put her hand over Tikal's mouth.
"Shut up, Tikal!" Blaze whispered loudly.
"Sorry." Tikal said as Blaze released the echidna. "Alright. So where do you think Sonic went?"
Blaze sighed again. "I have no idea. All he did was shoot Eggman in the shoulder, threaten to shoot him again in the head, and then he and Cobalt just high-tailed it out of here."
"Cobalt?"
"That Chao apparently holds a grudge against Eggman. He even had a strap of bullets wrapped around him."
"Wow." Tikal said. "There is absolutely no way we are telling Cream or Cheese about this."
"Obviously." Silver said.
"So how are we supposed to find him?" Vector asked.
"I'm not sure." Tails replied. "I just don't know why Sonic would do this. He's never gone crazy like this ever before."
"Does Eggman have any Chaos Emeralds with him?" Shadow asked.
Everyone pondered this thought. No one had seen all seven Chaos Emeralds together in quite a while. The only ones they had recently seen were Shadow's favorite green one, and the yellow one that Silver found a few days ago.
"I'm not sure. But I can run a scan on the area to see if there are any nearby. But whether Eggman has any is still unknown." Tails said.
"Can you do that scan here?" Espio asked.
"If I had my laptop I could. But I left it in my workshop back at Mystic Ruins." Tails said.
"Can you do it on mine?" Rouge asked.
"Maybe. But I'll need to borrow either Shadow's or Silver's Emerald to copy the energy signature." Tails said.
Rouge revealed her laptop. It was white with a pink heart on the center of it. Silver gave Tails his yellow Chaos Emerald and the fox attached a cord to the Emerald and plugged it into the laptop. After the energy signal was copied, Tails accessed the GUN radar programmed into the computer. A blinking light appeared somewhere near Soleanna. And it was moving.
"That's a Chaos Emerald alright." Rouge said. "Zoom in on it using the satellite."
Tails did what Rouge suggested and a small screen appeared. It showed Eggman's hovercraft.
"I guess that thing needs a Chaos Emerald to power it." Vector said.
"It must be a new model then. Because that craft never needed one before." Tails said.
"He looks freaked." Silver said.
Tails gave Silver back his yellow emerald and noticed that Silver was right. Eggman had the craft floored and his face was scared out of his mind. His shoulder still had a hole in it and it was slightly bleeding.
"Chances are he's on the run from Sonic." Blaze said.
"But how do we stop that crazy hedgehog and his little Chao buddy?" Knuckles asked.
No one answered. But then, Shadow was hit with an idea.
"The rest of you head to Soleanna and try to cut Eggman and Sonic off." Shadow said. "Me and Rouge are going to go somewhere first and meet you guys there."
"Where exactly are you going?" Tikal asked.
"There's no time." Shadow said as he took out his gun and walked over to Knuckles. "Here." Shadow held out the gun to Knuckles.
Knuckles immediately backed away.
"Hell no! I've never shot a gun before!" Knuckles said.
"Look, if Sonic catches up with Eggman, he might kill him. And as much as I hate Eggman, I don't want to see him go that way. You have to bluff Sonic out and hope he'll stand down." Shadow said.
Knuckles hesitated, but he slowly took the gun from Shadow's hand and put it behind his back.
"If I end up killing Sonic, it's on your ass." Knuckles said.
"Alright then. Rouge, let's go."
Shadow skated out the house and Rouge was flying right behind him and the same speed.
"Shadow where the hell are we going?" Rouge asked.
"To the hospital." Shadow said. "If Sonic won't stop at Knuckles holding a gun, then maybe SHE will."
The bat knew exactly what Shadow meant. Agreeing with his plan, the two of them headed for Station Square Hospital.
Shadow: Is this almost over, AK?
Me: Why? Do you not like it?
Shadow: I like it. But you just have a lot of people who are waiting for you to update on the AutoKnights.
Me: True. By the way, what happened to Eggman?
Charmy: After Silver started to mind choke him like Darth Vader in Star Wars, he split.
Silver: I should have said something Darth Vader would have said.
Rouge: You have to have a deep voice like James Earl Jones to be able successfully quote Darth Vader.
Me: She's not lying. Well then. I better go. The final chapter is the next one just FYI. And thanks goes to Gargel for helping me out with this chapter. Half the ideas he gave me are here in this chapter, and the rest of them will go into the next one. Until then, peace bitches.
