Sonic the Hedgehog:
Tales of Soleanna
Chapter 10: Girls Day Out
After Strike left, Sonic managed to convince the others that he was an ally and showed them the Chaos Emerald he gave them as proof. The team decided to accept Strike and, if they saw him again, let him know they forgave him. Shadow was still out of action and Sonic wasn't exactly up to scratch. With these two being unable to go anywhere, Amy volunteered to look for another emerald. So it was agreed.
Amy and Cream decided to check out the New City. They happened to be accompanied by Elise, Rouge and Blaze. Elise wanted to help find an Emerald and since Team Dark were hired to protect her, Rouge was the only one available (Omega still had problems with his legs). Blaze came along because she was getting bored and wanted to spend some time with Cream. So, it was all girls today.
Amy was attempting (and failing) to use Tails' emerald tracker. With no idea on how to use it, she gave up. "Boy, pinky. Not very smart, are you?" Rouge mocked. Amy turned around looking very peeved. "OK, then. You try using it?" she growled as she tossed the tracker to Rouge. The bat took one look at the tracker. "There's no emerald here" she said, bluntly. "What?" Amy asked. "We've been walking all over the place and have been looking for something that isn't there?" Rouge nodded. "In a nutshell, yes". Amy looked disheartened. She was hoping that if she found an emerald, Sonic might realise she wasn't completely helpless and maybe take her in his arms and…
"Uh, what's she doing?" Blaze asked. Amy was swaying all over the place with here eyes closed with a dreamy smile on her face. "She's daydreaming about Sonic again" Cream explained. Elise was trying to suppress her laughter. She couldn't help but find it funny. She guessed that Sonic had this effect on people. Herself included. She had to admit, Sonic was certainly dreamy. He's kind, always there for you, he's kind of cute…Wait, WHAT! Did she just think that? As she tried to shake the thought out of her head, she heard low rumble. The rumble began to get louder. Whatever was causing it was getting close.
Suddenly, a huge drill came crashing out of the ground, causing several bystanders to start running in terror. The drill pushed up a bit further until it revealed to the nose of a light brown mole-like robot. In the head of the robot was the doctor himself. "Well, what do we have here? Some insects to squash I see?" Eggman said. "Eggman! How dare you interrupt my fantasy?" Amy screamed pulling out her hammer and charging full speed at the robot. She began to pummel the body but it was having no effect. "Don't bother. This robot has been reinforced with titanium plating. Too bad you didn't bring Knucklehead with you" he explained. Then, the robot bended its head so the drill was facing straight down on Amy. The drill began to spin and headed straight for her. Thankfully, Rouge swooped in and managed to grab Amy before the drill made contact.
Blaze decided to step up to the plate. She ignited her hands and proceeded to swipe at the armour in hopes of melting it. This didn't work either and she jumped back before a giant hand flattened her. The robot now had to floating hands next to it. "Not so tough now, are you?" Eggman mocked. "Now, face my ultimate weapon. I was saving it for Sonic but he'll have to wait". The robot then put its hands together leaving a space for a circle. Then, a sphere of purple energy formed in the space, gradually getting bigger. It was soon as big as the robot. Eggman then made the robot throw it straight down. It went into the ground and purple electricity covered the whole ground. Cream pulled Elise out of harms way but the others weren't so lucky. They were hit by the electricity but they weren't hurt. They just couldn't move. "A-ha! My weapon works! That Chaos Emerald was definitely a big help!"
Upon hearing Eggman, Elise came up with an idea. If Eggman's using an emerald, he's probably got it with him, she thought. She also noticed that the armour wasn't covering the head. "Cream! Can you do anything that'll do damage to the head?" Cream nodded and understood Elise's plan. She flew them straight for Eggman. The doctor failed to notice them because he was still mocking the others. Once they were flying above the head, Cream called for Cheese, who popped out of nowhere (I always seem to forget him). Now came the tricky part. Cream had to hold Elise up with one hand so she could hold Cheese. While she tried this, Elise began to slip. Cream tried to keep her hold.
Meanwhile, Eggman was preparing another sphere of energy, this one intended on actually hurting the girls. While doing said charging, he realised something. "Where are the rabbit and the princess?"
Cream lost her grip and dropped Elise on top of the robot. Her landing made a clunk that got Eggman's attention. "What was that?" he asked, while dismissing the attack. Cream didn't hesitate and threw Cheese with surprising force. He shattered through the head, missing Eggman, and all the way to the bottom. He then flew back to Cream as she was picking Elise up and flying them out of there. Eggman did the same. "Curse you!" he cried as he flew off, leaving his robot to blow up. Amy and the others had managed to regain their movement. "Nice one, Cream. You sure showed him whose boss" congratulated Blaze. "Well, Elise came up with the plan" Cream explained. Elise blushed. She tried explaining that they didn't have to thank her when Cream remembered something. "What happened to the Chaos Emerald?"
As if to answer her question, the purple emerald fell out of the sky and landed in Elise's hands. "Come on. Let's get this back to the castle" she said. The others agreed and left for the castle, before they could get charged for the damages.
