A New Enemy

Weeks passed since their last encounter with Dr. Robotnik. Since then, everyone spent all their time trying to track him down to rescue their pink friend. Tails and Rouge spent all their time in Tails' workshop/lab trying to find anything leading to Robotnik's new hideout. Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow were running around town looking for any clues or signs that read 'Eggman's handiwork' all over it. The more days passed the more determined they were, especially Sonic. He hardly ate a thing and wouldn't stop looking even in the evening. Vanilla and Cream had to beg him to rest and eat. Sometimes Knuckles and Shadow had to knock him out to stay down. However, they all felt sorry for the blue hedgehog. They knew how much he cared for Amy and the pain he was going through. However, unbeknownst to them, their bad luck was about to change.


Everyone once again sat in Vanilla's mansion discussing their leads, if any and further plans.

"Hey Tails, any leads?" asked Sonic.

The two tail shook his head. "Not really, usually I'd be able to find Eggman in no time. But…it seems like he really did good this time."

"We think he's blocked himself off using some sort of device or something," the white bat added. "I'll tell ya this, he's really improved. I'm almost impressed."

"How can you say that!" exclaimed the red echidna. "He kidnapped Amy and put her against us!"

"I said almost ya numbskull!!!"

"Will you two quit your squabbling," snapped the black hedgehog. "It's getting us nowhere. And watch what you say."

He motioned to his blue look-alike, who winced at the hearing Amy's name. The two lovebirds immediately were overcome with grief and stopped. There was a moment of silence, when suddenly; the patter of feet came through the room.

"Mr. Sonic! Mr. Sonic!" yelled Cream.

"Chao! Chao!" cried Cheese flying behind her.

Everyone turned to the exhausted young rabbit in the doorway.

"What is it Cream?"

"Come…quick, you've got to…see this."

Quickly, everyone dashed into the main room. Vanilla stood wide-eye glued to the screen of her large TV.

"What's going on?" questioned Knuckles.

Vanilla glanced at the group. "This," she said before turning up the volume.

"New Flash report," the young newscaster announced. "One of the National banks has just been robbed dry. According to bystanders, hardly anyone saw the criminal or criminals make their way in or out. We take you live with our anchorman, John Foreman. John, you there?"

The man named John told in front of the bank. Busted windows, scattered papers, crumbed walls, and smoke coming from inside.

"Thank you, Sally. I'm here just outside the scene and as you can see, it's now destroyed from the inside. Police are on the lookout for the person or people responsible."

"I was just depositing my money," stated a young woman, who he interviewed. "When all of a suddenly there's this loud bang. And the next thing I knew everyone was on the ground!"

"It's amazing really," commented one of the employees. "No one inside did a thing. No one seemed suspicious of anything. And it-it was just-just gone!"

"The surveillance cameras didn't even pick up a thing. These guys must be real professionals and extremely dangerous," noted a cop. "We advise everyone to lock all their doors and windows and to stay off the streets tonight."

"I've just been notified that none of the people inside were injured," John reported. "It's a miracle. Hopefully these crooks will be caught soon."

"Thank you John and in other news-…This just in one of the biggest jewelry stores in town has just be robbed! We take you live with our anchorwoman, Megan Wright, currently on the scene. Megan, are you there?!"

The woman named Megan stood outside the shop, glass everywhere. Windows busted and smoke all around.

"Yes Sally, I am. Moreover, as you can see these crooks are being very busy tonight. I've heard that thousands of police are on the lookout for these heathens. Luckily no one was hurt and unfortunately no one spotted the th-"

"LOOK!!!" a civilian screamed. "Up on the roof! It's the thief!"

The camera zoomed onto the rooftop, revealing a person dressed in black on top of the building, several bags in hand.

"Attention, we've just spotted the thief," yelled Megan. "It appears to be a…man…or…a woman…with millions of dollars worth of jewelry in hand."

"This is the police, you are under arrest. Come down with your hands up! You have nowhere else to run."

Police cars surrounded the building, weapons drawn aimed at the thief.

"You are completely surrounded. Give up now!"

Despite the person's situation, he/she made no attempt of moving anywhere.

"This is your last chance! Come down with your hands up! We will use force, if necessary!"

The mysterious person smirked. Suddenly out of nowhere, a chopper swooped in near her. Gathering the loot, the young woman gripped on to a rope ladder, dangling on the side.

"Freeze!"

Without warning, an egg-shaped man popped up on the big screen, near the scene.

"My…my…what a crowd."

"DR. ROBOTNIK!!!" everyone shouted.

"Oh no! It's Dr. Robotnik!" cried civilians, scattering everywhere inside buildings taking cover.

The evil doctor laughed. "Hahaha…my, what's all the fuss? I just popped in for a little visit. Well, that's not true, but who cares! Hahahaha…I see you've met my new worker. I hope you gave this little person a good welcome. In addition, thank you for all your gifts, I'll be taking them! Hahahaa… "

With that said, the Eggman chopper flew away into the night.

"Stop them! Fire!"

Police forces fired, but it was no use, it flew away plan out of sight. Vanilla turned off the TV. Everyone was silent; the tension was so thick it made it hard to breath.

"So," stated Shadow. "Eggman got himself a new lackey."

"So it seems," added Rouge.

"Eggman," Sonic seethed, clenching his fists.

"Do you think that was Am-"

"NO!" Sonic cut off the two tail angrily. "She would never do something like that! You hear me!"

Knuckles grabbed a hold of the steamed hero. "Calm down Sonic! You don't know that. And for all we know, that could have been her."

"You forgotten that Eggman brainwashed her," the white bat added. "She works for him now, so she could be her doing his dirty work."

Growling, Sonic broke from his friend's grip.

"I know your upset, but we've got to face facts. Amy's not the same anymore. That's why we're just determined as you are to find a way to bring her back."

Sonic sighed. "Your right. Your absolutely right," he turned to his flying furry friend. "I'm sorry I yelled at you buddy."

Tails swung his hand and smiled. "Don't mention it Sonic. I know you're just concerned and angry. Don't worry. We'll get Eggman."

Sonic grinned giving a thumbs up. "Yeah."

"And besides," he commented, pulling out a device. "I think I know where he's hiding."

"Really?" Rouge asked.

"How?" stated the echidna.

"When he cast himself on the billboard downtown, I started tracking where the signal was coming from. I got a specific location, but I'll need time to coordinate where his actual hideout is."

"At least it's a start," said Shadow. "Great work."

"Nice one Tails," grinned Knuckles.

"Good work bud," smiled Sonic.

Rouge kissed his cheek. "Way to go doll."

At this Tails blushed, but Knuckles got mad.

Tails scratched the back of his head. "Ah…ha…t-thanks R-Rouge."

"What was that all about?!" Knuckles yelled face-to-face with his former (?) lover.

Rouge smiled innocently. "What? I was just congratulating him. It was only a kiss."

"ONLY A KISS?!"

"Don't get your tail in a bunch."

"WHAT YOU SAY?!!!"

The former thief rolled her eyes. "What you wanna kiss too? Is that why you're jealous?"

Knuckles immediately blushed. Clearing his throat, he turned away.

"I'm not jealous."

The young bat grinned. "Yes you are," she sang.

He glared. "I am NOT!"

"Aww, Knuckikins was mad because I kissed Tails."

Snickers could be heard all over the room.

"Knuckikins?" Sonic snickered. "What kind of a name is that?"

Rouge smirked. "He likes it when I call 'em that."

"No I don't!" countered an embarrassed echidna.

Everyone full out laughed; even cold-hearted Shadow had to laugh at this scene.

"Shut Up!"

Despite, the echidna's yells and threats the laughing commenced.

"Aww, it's alright my lil' Knuckles," states Rouge putting her arms around her tempered lover. "Don't be mad."

With that, she kissed him full-blown on the lips. Knuckles instantly stopped growling and kissed back whole-heartedly. When they broke apart, a big goofy smile graced his lips. Everyone of course laughed more, but Knuckles didn't care at the moment. He put his arm around his bat's waist. He'd be gettin' some tonight for sure.


A/N: Cliffie!!!!! O.o Wow, what a way for me to end this chappie. Will our heroes be able to save Amy? Was that Amy on top of the roof? Will Knuckles be getting any tonight?
