Chapter 2: Even Babysitting Has Problems
The next day, Amy is in the kitchen with Nicole, Tails and baby Sonic. Tails is eating on the table while Amy is feeding Sonic, who is sitting on a high chair. Nicole is standing close to the two hedgehogs and watching Sonic eat. Amy has just finished feeding Sonic and he has some baby food in his face.
Any giggles, "Looks like somebody got messy."
Sonic giggles with a smile on his face, "Aba!"
Nicole says, "Sonic seems to be very happy."
"That's because he likes to eat a good meal," Amy replies.
Then asks, "So what's the result of Sonic's check up?"
"After checking the results, they read that Sonic is in perfect health, but I am picking up a strange energy coming from him," Nicole answers.
"Strange how?" Amy asks.
"That is hard to explain. The energy seems to have the power of time change. Unfortunately, it's the only thing I've collected," Nicole says.
Sally, Bunnie, Antoine, and Rotor walk into the kitchen.
Sally says, "That's why we're heading to the abandoned building to find out what it is. We might be able to find a clue to cure Sonic."
"Yeah. Antoine and I are going to be heading out so you and Tails need to watch Sonic," Rotor says.
"We will," Amy and Tails reply.
Sometime later, Vanilla, Cream, and Cheese have arrived at the headquarters. Sally, Bunnie, and Nicole are going to head to the building Amy has found whole Rotor and Antoine are heading off for a different mission.
"Alright, we'll try to be back as soon as we find something. Make sure Sonic gets fed, clean, and safe, and make sure he doesn't get into trouble," Sally says.
"Well make sure that Sonic is safe and given lots of love," Amy happily says.
"I'll put in the security cameras and alarm to be sure no one will try to get in," Tails adds.
"Alright, we'll be back as soon as we find something," Sally says.
Sally leans to Sonic who is in Amy's arms, "Bye Sonic, we'll see you soon."
Sally kisses Sonic in the cheek making him giggle with glee. Amy giggles as well
Sally, Nicole, and Bunnie head off to find the building while Rotor and Antoine leave to a different direction. As the girls are off, Sally turns her head to see Amy and the others enter the house with Sonic.
Bunnie notices Sally's concern, "Sally girl, don't worry. Sonic is in good hands and will be fine by the time we get back."
"I know. I just still having trouble wrapping this around my head. Sonic being turned into a baby. If Eggman or anyone else find out. Oh, I don't even want to think about it," Sally says in concern.
Nicole says from her computer pad, "I'm sure Tails and Amy will be find watching Sonic. Vanilla, Cream, and Cheese are there too. They will be fine and will have fun by the time we get back."
"I guess. We'll be fine as long as none of our find out about Sonic's condition," Sally says.
The three continue to make their way to their destination. Unknown to the three, someone else has been hearing the conversation. Above in the hovercraft. Snively along with two of the Echidna Dark Egg Legion listen to everything Sally and the others say.
Snively becomes curious, "Sonic the Hedgehog? Amere infant? This is something worth investigating."
Snively drives the hovercraft to Freedom Fighters HQ to see this for himself.
In the Headquarters, Vanilla is sitting on the ground while holding baby Sonic.
Sonic happily says, "Aba aba abwa!"
Cream is sitting in front of Sonic and covers her eyes, "Where am i?"
Then removes her hands with a smile, and says, "hi."
Baby Sonic giggles and smiles with glee and moves his legs around.
"Awww, Sonic is so cute,"Cream asays.
Amy sits in front of Sonic and holding a camera, "I have to take a picture of him."
She presents the camera in front of Sonic, and happily says, "Say 'cheese' Sonic."
Then Amy takes the picture. Amy looks at the camera to see the baby hedgehog. Amy and Cream awed in reply with love in their eyes.
Cheese flies to baby Sonic and happily says, "Chao Chao."
"Baba baba," Baby Sonic happily replies.
"Chao Chao," Cheese happily says.
Tails walks into the living room with a bottle of milk in his hand.
He passes it to Vanilla, "Here you go Vanilla."
"Thank you Tails," Vanilla says, taking the milk.
She holds baby Sonic in his arm and gives him the drink. Baby Sonic grabs hold of the bottle and begins to drink the milk from it.
Cream happily says, "Sonic is really cute as a baby."
"You're right, and he's so tiny," Amy says.
"I guess you're right. I still hope Sally and the others could find out how to change Sonic back," Tails says.
"Me too. It's sweet to see Sonic as a baby, but he can't stay like this. Eggman and the Dark Egg Legion will do something to him," Amy says.
"That's why we're staying here and making sure the security is one to alert us of any attempt," Tails says.
Amy says, "You're right."
As the group watch Baby Sonic, Snively has been spying on them and use the binocular to help him out. He smirks to see Sonic is a baby hedgehog now and not many are in the Headquarter.
Snicely brings out his communicator and contact Eggman, "Sir, I have found something that you find quite interesting."
"What is it Snively?! Can't you see that I'm busy?!" Eggman yells through the device.
"I can't really see how busy you are, but I found something that will work to your advantage," Snively says.
"What is it?" Eggman asks.
"I found out that Sonic the Hedgehog is a mere baby now," Snively says.
"A baby?" Eggman asks, confused.
"Yes. Apparently Sonic went to your secret workshop and caused his age changed. He is in Freedom HQ being babysitted by Tails, Amy, Cream and Vanilla. Oh and the little Chao too. Also, Princess Sally and her group are heading to one of your workshops that has the emeralds." Snively says.
"Really now. I think I have an idea. We must capture the baby hedgehog," Eggman says.
"You want me to attack?" Snively asks.
"No. Keep an eye on them until I get there with reinforcement. We're up against the fox and the crazy pink hedgehog with the hammer. Just keep an eye on them," Eggman says.
"Yes sir, but what about the princess?" Snively replies.
"We'll worry about it later. We can steal the emeralds back after capturing Sonic," Eggman says.
"Yes sir," Snively says, and puts the communicator away and continue to spy on the Freedom Fighter and the baby hedgehog.
Meanwhile, at the building Amy has mention, Sally and the others are able to find it ann approach it at the front.
"Yep. this looks like one of Eggman's alright," Bunnie says.
"Then let's go inside and check it out. There could be a clue to Sonic's condition," Sally says.
Nicole says in the computer pad, "I can sense a very strong energy of space and time within the building. This must be the place. And the clue to our mystery is inside."
"Then let's go," Sally says.
Sally and Bunnie walk inside the building to find a clue to Sonic's condition and the source of the strange energy. Sally and Bunnie walk deep in the building and stop to see something shocking.
They see a giant machine that has three antennas on it with round glass containers. In each of them, there are three gems, but they're not Chaos Emeralds. They shaped like rectangular octagon. The middle has a red one. The right has a cyan blue one. Finally, the left has a green one.
"What are these?" Bunnie asks.
"I think these are Sol Emeralds. I remember seeing them before. The Sol Emeralds have incredible powers, and belong to the guardian and princess Blaze the Cat. Apparently, they have the exact energy that I sensed around Sonic" Nicole says.
"So the Sol Emeralds were responsible for Sonic's condition. Eggman must have stolen them somehow and used them for this device," Sally says.
"Then get these jewels and take them back to Freedom HQ," Bunnie says.
"Be careful Bunnie, the emeralds have strong energy, and the machine is making them dangerous. I suggest using her robotic arm to break through the container and let the gems fall to us," Nicole says.
Bunnie says, "Got it sugar."
Bunnie uses his robotic arm to smack the glass containers into pieces and the emeralds fall from the machine. Sally brings out her bag and catches each emerald inside.
"Got em. Now let's head back to the others," Sally says.
Sally and Bunnie leave the building and head to Freedom HQ.
Back at Freedom HQ, Cream, Cheese, Tails, and Amy are watching baby Sonic as he sleeps on a pillow on the floor and tucked in by a blue blanket.
"Aww, he is so cute, and he's sound asleep," Cream quietly says.
"Let's stay quiet so Sonic can get some sleep," Amy says.
Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door.
Vanilla walks to the door, "I'll get it."
Vanilla opens the door to see who it is. To her shock, she sees Dr. Eggman and a few of his Echidna Chapter of the Dark Egg Legion.
"Dr. Eggman?!" Vanilla says in shock.
"Hello Ms. Rabbit, mind if I come in," Eggman says.
Vanilla quickly closes the door and locks the door, "Amy, Tails, we need to take Sonic and hurry. Dr. Eggman is here.
The group is shocked to hear this.
Tails says, "We can leave through the back."
Amy picks up Sonic in the blanket and hurry to the back with the others. When Tails opens the door, they're stunned to see Snively and more of the Dark Egg Legion covering the door. Just then, the front door is kicked open The group looks to see they have been cornered by Eggman and his fleet. And then something awful happens, Eggman comes over and snatches Baby Sonic right out of Amy's hand.
Amy quickly turns, "Sonic!"
Everyone turns around to see Eggman holding Sonic with one hand. Baby Sonic wakes up and starts crying.
Amy is furious that she brings out her hammer, "Let go of Sonic."
"I put the hammer if I were you. Sonic is so small, I might accidentally pop him," Eggman says with a smirk.
Amy grits her teeth in anger that Eggman has the nerve to threaten her and using Sonic to do it. She sighs in defeat and places her hammer on the ground. The others decide not to fight either. Then D.E.L handcuffs the group's hands and ankles. For Tails' case his tails as well as well as Cream's ears.
Cream angrily says, "You won't get away with this Dr. Eggman."
"I already have. You can't do a thing and I have the little runt here," Eggman says a maniacally laughs.
Baby sonic continues to cry.
Amy shouts in anger, "Leave Sonic alone! You're scaring him!"
"Too bad. He's coming with me. He will become the new member of my Dark Egg Legion. When he gets older, he'll be legalized to prove it," Eggman announces.
"Give Sonic back!" Tails demands.
"Sonic's mine now. Hasta La bye bye," Eggman says.
Then they all leave the Headquarter, jump on the hovercraft and fly away with baby Sonic as the little hedgehog cries.
Amy begins to shed tears and screams, "SONIC!"
Sometime later, Eggman, Snively and the D.E.L continue to fly in the hovercraft and the mad doctor is holding baby Sonic, who is still crying.
"Don't worry Sonic, I'll take good care of you when you become part of our legion," Eggman says.
Baby Sonic whimpers.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to save the day like you always does?" Eggman remarks.
Baby Sonic continues to cry.
Eggman laughs, "As long as I have their baby Sonic, those annoying friends of his wouldn't even dare attacking me. And with Sonic as part of my legion, no one will stop me. I know, I say that every time, but this time, nothing will stop me."
Suddenly, a fiery bullet of flame attack the hovercraft from the bottom making everyone yelp.
"What was that?!" Eggman asks in shock.
"I have no idea, sir," Snively answers.
Suddenly, the same flaming fiery bullet hits them again.
"What's attacking us?!" Eggman demands.
"I am," A stern female voice speaks.
Eggman and the bad guys look ahead, and he exclaims, "You!"
The fiery bullet is none other than Blaze the Cat. Blaze glares at Eggman and speed up in the air hitting the hovercraft again. Eggman accidentally lets go of Baby Sonic and is falling out of the craft and to the ground.
"Oh no!" Eggman exclaims.
Baby Sonic continues to cry as he falls to his doom. Suddenly, a light blue aura surrounds him, saving his life. Then a pair of light silver hands with glowing blue markings holds Sonic and places him in the arms. Baby Sonic looks up with a whimper to see Silver the hedgehog and using his power to float in midair.
Silver looks down to the hedgehog and says, "Don't worry, I got you."
Silver lands down and Blaze lands next to him. Then they both sternly glares at Eggman.
Eggman looks to see they have Sonic and shouts, "Hey, give him back."
"I think it's time for you to leave," Blazz sterly says.
Blaze flies up in a fiery flame and smacks Eggman's hovercraft hard enough to send him flying. Blaze and Silver look to see Eggman is finally cry, but looks at Baby Sonic to hear the little hedgehog whimpering and still frightened from this event.
Blaze pats Sonic on the head, "Don't worry Sonic, the bad man is gone now."
"I still can't get over that this is Sonic. What happened to him?" Silver asks.
"I sensed the Sol Emerald's energy coming from him. They must be responsible for Sonic's condition," Blaze says.
"What should we do?" Silver asks.
"We'll have to take Sonic with us. If we find the emeralds, then we can help Sonic out of his predicament," Blazz says.
"Good idea," Silver says.
He looks down at Sonic, "Don't worry Sonic, we'll get you back to your original age."
Baby Sonic rubs against Silver's white fur on his chest and falls asleep. Blaze and Silver can't help but smile. Then decide to find the Sol Emeralds and help Sonic with his predicament. Unknown to the pair, a small round surveillance camera with the letters 'G.U.N' on it has watching the pai with the baby hedgehog in his arms.
