Castle Chaos
Team Sonic stood before Hang Castle, they were disappointed with their ties, Sonic wondered why they keep finishing in a tie. Knuckles didn't wanna tell them because he knows they'll freak; he only told Amy, Cream, & Blaze that he loved Rouge, he had no intention of telling Sonic & Tails. Tails had calmed from Redtide's taunting, he didn't wanna admit that she was right; he did like Cream but he didn't know if she liked him & Sonic didn't wanna admit that he loved Amy. They walked on, Knuckles tripped & fell, Sonic helped him up,
"You okay Knux?"
"Yeah, I just tripped over something that's all,"
"You tripped over the key Knux," Tails explained, he grabbed the key & jumped as a spiked fist flew by him. He saw a red mech, Tails sweat-dropped, the mech had started to pick a fight with him. He saw that Knuckles was getting beat by a blue mech & Sonic was battling a yellow mech. Knuckles pushed the blue mech, causing it to knock it & the other two into a wall, the three mechs were destroyed on impact. They entered the key into the lock, causing the door to swing wide open; Sonic & Tails entered, the second Knuckles entered; a trap door opened. Tails saw this & looked at the trap door,
"Knuckles," Sonic saw their missing member,
"We gotta save him, let's go Tails," Tails nodded & they went into the castle.
Tails & Sonic entered the inner castle; ever since Knuckles got captured, they had to act with double effort to defeat the strongest mechs. They noticed that an army of fighter mechs surrounded them; a red blur suddenly burst in, the blur's blinding speed amazed Tails & Sonic. The red blur flew by half of the mechs, another red blur appeared & flew by, the two red blurs destroyed the mechs. The blurs revealed themselves as Knuckles & Torch; Tails & Sonic were happy to see their friend again;
"Where were you?"
"The trap door leads to the dungeon room," Torch explained,
"Name's Torch Steer,"
"I'm Sonic the Hedgehog,"
"I'm Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails."
"The dungeon room wasn't so bad though, check this out," Knuckles revealed a Chaos Emerald; Tails & Sonic smiled, Tails suddenly frowned,
"How'd you get out of the dungeon room?"
"The simplest solution was always the best; Torch & I found a mech, went into its mind & destroyed it from the inside,"
"That was the simplest solution? What was the complicated one?" Sonic asked,
"Believe me, you don't wanna know," Torch exclaimed,
"Okay then, we better get outta here." They raced off; unknown to them that a pair of green eyes scanned them,
"You did great bro."
The 8 teams all rested in the same area, Speedboost had apologized for crushing Amy's hand, Amy apologized for making Speedboost mad, Rouge apologized for making Jazelle & Midnight mad. They all suddenly saw a fleet of battleships, Sonic stood up,
"Guess break's over, let's go everyone." They all set off to stop the battleships; unknown of the three dark creatures following them.
