I don't own Sonic Or Sega.
14. The Search Begins
"Royal freaking flush!" Shouted Laoch. The rest of the group groaned. "NOW I know why he likes this place so much." Groaned Sonic. Shadow was actually laughing. "Hey, at least you cheered him up a little bit." "WE BETTER HAVE! I JUST LOST ALL OF MY RINGS!" shouted an enraged Sonic. Shade looked amused. "1000 rings! Does any-" "NO!" shouted the entire group. "Man, me and my best friend Ryko used to play cards all the time. He's just as good as I am." "Ryko?" asked Sonic. "Another story for another time." Said Laoch, smirking. "Anyway, we'd better get going." "How?" asked Knuckles. "If we go down they'll find out we stayed up here without paying." Laoch smirked again. "We jump." "That's ridiculous." Said Shade. "We're 30 stor-" She got no further. Laoch grabbed her hand and burst through the window, shattering the glass and plummeting down below. Sonic shrugged and jumped out and the rest of the group followed. As Laoch and Shade were plummeting, when they were about 20 feet from the ground Laoch used Chaos Control to slow their fall. When they landed, Shade socked Laoch right in the nose again, causing a large amount of pain.
Shade covered her mouth wide eyed as soon as she did it. "Oh my god! I forgot, I-" Laoch was grunting in pain. When he finally managed to get up, his nose was bent to the left. "Laoch, listen to me." Shadow said. "This is gonna hurt. A lot." Laoch was about to question him when he grabbed his nose and yanked it back in place, causing Laoch to scream in pain. Shade just stood there gaping, her eyes wide. Shadow then blasted him with his signature spinning kick, knocking him out cold. "What the heck was that for?" asked Sonic. "1, I was getting annoyed by his grunting in pain. 2, It will completely stop the pain for as long as he's out, enough time for us to put something on him." Sonic nodded and then turned to Shade. "Why did you-" "I-I just wasn't thinking, and I-I, oh god!" she said, and sat down with a look that showed embarrassment and concern. "Alright. What did Cream give us in that first aid kit?" Sonic asked. He dug through and finally found a cast material which he used to make a cast for his nose. Sonic slung him over his shoulder and they headed for the Echidna.
