Bad news guys, CST's are coming up. So, I will be barraged by homework for the next week until the CST's are over. Good news guys, this is the last quarter for my school year. Once I finished this quarter, updating will be somewhat quicker. Yay, I'm so excited for it!
Super-sonic iblish: Thanks for the kind words!
Nate the Werehog: Hopefully Knuckles will learn later on. Thanks, I enjoyed the Hero and Sonic scene as well!
Galem: Your fan of Baby Sonic now eh? Well, my mission is accomplished *majestic stare out toward the horizon*
TatlTails: Well at least you loved it !
Chapter 9: Look Who's Found Out!
"Hmm, I've been sending death threats to Sonic's mailbox. He should've been here by now!" Eggman said as he tossed his newest machine blueprints to the floor. Behind him, were Orbot and Cubot playing a game of checkers. Orbot had captured most of Cubot's red circles while Cubot was only able to capture three of Orbot's black circles.
Eggman stood up as he checked his computer monitors once again. Nope, no blue streak passing by the camera lenses.
The doctor led out a frustrated growl as he slammed his fists onto the keyboard in front of him. "That blasted hedgehog! Has he decided to stop destroying my plans already!?" the doctor shouted, his long brown mustache standing in an upward angle.
Orbot then stood beside Eggman, holding up one robotic finger.
The doctor turned his head toward the red highlighted robot.
"Sir, if I could share my idea on the situation. Maybe Sonic just wanted a rest and decided to take a day off!" Orbot said, floating back to Cubot who was still trying to make his own move.
The doctor's face lit red as he picked up both Orbot by his bowl-shaped head.
"Break!? Break!? Listen you; I have a reputation to keep up! If Sonic's not there to foil my plans then people will think I'm an evil scientist that's forever alone with his robots to tend to!" Eggman shouted as he dropped Orbot to the ground. Orbot just sighed as he floated back toward Cubot who was STILL in deep thought about his next move.
Eggman took a seat back on the computer monitors, folding his hands together.
A sudden loud screech rang through the room as a badnik rushed through the doors, denting it in the process.
"Why couldn't I make a robotic brain for these pathetic robots…" Eggman said pressing a red button beside him. The badnik quickly wheeled its way toward him. "Alright, what is it?"
WE HAVE FOUND NEW NEWS ON THE WHEREABOUTS OF SONIC. The loud monotone voice erupted from the robot. Eggman cocked an eyebrow as the red highlighted badnik printed out a few documents from its top metallic shell. The mustached man tor them off and began to read it steadily.
An evil grin sketched upon the old man's face.
Orbot and Cubot looked up from their positions as Eggman stood up.
"Sir?"
"Get ready boys, we have ourselves a baby hedgehog to capture!" Eggman cackled as he began sketching out a new machine blueprints for the special occasion.

Everything was peaceful at Amy's apartment. The pink hedgehog was busy making breakfast while Knuckles and Sonic were busy napping on the couch. Sonic was curled up on the rad red's stomach right below the white crescent mark. Knuckles's arms wrapped protectively around the blue cub while his own legs were criss cross. As Amy walked into the living room, she giggled at the sight of her two men on the couch.
Amy then heard a tiny sob coming from Sonic who clutched onto Knuckles's chest. The poor cub seemed to be having a little nightmare.
"Aw, who's having a nightmare?" Amy asked, releasing the grip which held onto Sonic firmly. "Aaa…aba…ra…ba," the blue hedgehog mumbled as tears fell from his eyelids. The pink hedgehog smiled as she began to rock him back and forth. "Come on Sonic, don't cry…" the pink hedgehog soothed as she walked into the kitchen.
Setting Sonic on the counter, Amy began to tickle his tiny feet letting out a giggle from Sonic. The pink hedgehog smiled sweetly, nuzzling her nose on his.
"Gah!" Sonic said, tilting his tiny, spiked head at Amy. The pink hedgehog giggled once more as she started to fix up the pancakes. The little blue hedgehog watched intently at the sizzling pan beside him. Sonic tilted his head as he reached out with his bare, peach hand. Luckily, Amy was able to stop the tiny child by smacking his hand away from the hot metal.
Sonic cried due to the stinging pain on his hand. "Waaah!" the blue hedgehog wailed.
"Well if you didn't reach out to the pan, I wouldn't have smacked your hand!"
"WAAAAH!"
Amy sighed as she picked up the crying blue cub from the counter. When Sonic looked up, he found Amy frowning at him with dull green eyes staring back at his emerald orbs. The blue hedgehog bent his ears as he buried his face into Amy's dress as if to say, "I'm sorry…".
A small smile crept onto Amy's peach muzzle as she nuzzled Sonic's head. "It's ok; I didn't enjoy smacking your hand either. Just be more careful next time ok?" Amy told him, rubbing his blue back beneath his two back spines. Walking back to the living room, the two figures found Knuckles stretching himself out of his own drowsiness. "Look who's up now," Amy said as the red echidna turned back in surprise. "Oh, I was wondering where you went…" Knuckles chuckled, looking directly at a now happy little blue hedgehog.
Walking toward Sonic, Knuckles kneeled down as Amy set Sonic on top of his head. The little child began climbing his spikes from behind with no trouble slipping or stumbling. "Aba!" Sonic said, cuddling on a spike beneath Knuckles' outer dreadlocks.
"He really likes you," Amy said, the first to enter the kitchen.
"Yeah, well echidnas have a reputation of being lovable."
"You never show it."
"…Shut it."
The pink hedgehog laughed as she began to set the food and drinks. Knuckles busied himself with texting Rouge on his Samsung Galaxy. The echidna blushed when he received a rather, straightforward answer from the albino bat. "This bat, what the hell?" Knuckles said, placing his phone back into his spikes, far away from Sonic's reach.
Amy cocked an eyebrow and sighed, probably giving Knuckles's phone number to Rouge was a bad idea. Amy then settled three pancakes on the red echidna's plate and two pancakes on her own plate. Putting the pan back onto the stove, the pink hedgehog began to eat while Knuckles whistled lowly.
Hero's head popped out from the doorway with a small smile on his face.
Knuckles then set Sonic down on the floor, gesturing the white chao over.
"Chao!" Hero exclaimed, tackling Sonic who almost banged his head on the table legs. The little blue cub smiled as his white chao began to flutter all around him.
The sight was just very heart-warming for the two adult figures watching from the table.

"Why are we at the park again?" asked Knuckles who had arms wrapped around his head. Amy was right next to him, pushing a blue stroller that Tails had built for the two of them awhile back (A/N: Remember when Tails went searching for parts for a new invention back in chapter four?). The pink hedgehog sighed as she began to mimic Tails' voice. "Be sure to give Sonic enough outdoor time, or else he'll get VERY cranky!" Amy said with a giggle following after.
For a girl, she could do Tails' voice just fine (A/N: No naming any names Sonic fans).
The guardian just rolled his purple eyes in amusement. He then leaned forward to check up on the blue cub. Sonic was fast asleep with Hero looking down at him smiling. "Chao!" Hero whispered, placing his huge stub arm over his mouth as if to say, "sshh!"
Knuckles couldn't help but laugh quietly at the sight/
"What's so funny?" asked Amy curiously.
"Never mind!" Knuckles said, flapping his gloved hand up and down. The pink hedgehog could only smile in confusion.
Suddenly a strange figure in a white coat walked up to them, brown gloved hands massaging the dark space between his hat and coat. Amy and Knuckles stopped with suspicion. There was a pause of silence before the figure's voice was heard. "Eh hem, cute baby you have…" the strange dark figure said, leaning down to the stroller. Amy pulled it back, frightened.
The figure then rose up, looking at the two mobians. "My name is uh, Willus Aron Collin! I've traveled across the, uh, whole zone of Green Hill in order to find these special babies." The somewhat static voice said as the figure's hand gestures were quite shaky.
"I never heard of a Willoo Ar…whatever in Green Hill." Knuckles said bluntly as his eyes traveled downward.
"Ah, I am one of those, eh, UNHEARD specialists! Oh yes, very secretive!" the white coated figure strained once more nearly tipping over. Knuckles huffed as he found, not feet, but a cube shaped body underneath the coat. "Darn tootin'!" a second voice spoke which caused the figure to jerk up and down. Knuckles rolled his eyes as he tore the white coat off, revealing Orbot and Cubot in the disguise.
Cubot looked up with a questioning look. "What now Orb?" he asked. Orbot sighed as he leaped for the stroller and grabbed both Hero and Sonic from their places. "Quickly Cubot, we must hurry before Dr. Eggman deactivates us!" Orbot said, pressing Cubot's turbo speed button.
Before the two robots were able to leave, Hero was able to bite on Orbot's robotic hand.
In time, Orbot let go of the white chao out of annoyance. No matter, Sonic was their main objective.
"Sonic!" Knuckles and Amy cried as they both tried to stop the action that was happening.
A small whimper was heard from the little cub before he was hauled out of the park. "Kneggles, Eme!" were his last words before his captors left the two mobians in the dust.
…To Be Continued…
Come on guys, I NEED to make some cliffhangers here and there! *hides in the corner as everyone throws tables at her* Ok, maybe I wanted to be a little jerkish… Also, a heads up, I'm planning on making a comic about this story on my DA account! I'll tell you guys when everything is ready.
Please leave a review in the review box (that has your username name on it) for Ms. Acaybay, who knows the next chapter might come quicker *evil grin*
