(Gotta Go Fast!)

(Ayla's Theme song - KC Undercover Theme Song)


(Ayla's POV)

*It's been a month since our adventure on the Ark. I introduced Shadow to my friends. I think he hit it off with Helen the most. I guess she reminds him of Maria. Shadow had joined G.U.N & became partners with Rouge & Topaz. He also visited Helen on his days off. "It was now another typical day & my brother was off dealing with another crisis (he told me he could handle this one alone). But this time, it wasn't Eggman. We were all watching the whole thing on the news*

Scarlet Garcia:*on the TV* This is Scarlet Garcia reporting live from over the Station Square State Park where a forest fire started by careless campers is raging. The park as been evacuated and Firefighters have the blaze under control. However, the park is home to a rare spotted owl and there are concerns that the owl may have not escaped. *my brother was seen on the screen dodging fallen flamming trees & holding a brown owl still sitting in it's nest* The spotted owl laid two eggs early this season and Park Rangers fear that even if the owl escaped, she could not carry her eggs with her. There is a reason for hope. One of everyone's favorite heroes, Sonic the Hedgehog, arrived on the scene seconds ago to help find and rescue the owl and it's nest. Everyone is waiting breathlessly, but no one has seen any sign of the blue hedgehog since he ran into the flames! But with the fire closing in, can even Sonic's incredible speed save the day?

*Soon Sonic appeared out of the flames. Unharmed & with the owl, it's nest, & eggs safe & sound*

Chris, Tails, & Cream: YAAAAAY, SONIC!

Amy: I knew he could do it along.

Ayla: Was there ever any doubt?

*The only one not celebrating was Cheese. He was looking very sad*

Cheese: Chao . . .

Chris: Cream, what's wrong with Cheese? He looks very sad. Sonic saved the owl and it's nest.

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

Cream: I think he misses being around other Chao. Your world is very different from ours. Where we come from, lot's of people had Chao as pets and Cheese could play with others like himself.

Cheese: Chao.

*I started thinking back to when the God, Chaos, started feeling havoc*

Cream: Cheese was happy to be around the other Chao when they came through the Master Emerald. But the Chao weren't here for fun. They had a mission to accomplish. They had to help stop the Chaos Monster from destroying Station Square. Once the Chaos Monster broke free from Dr. Eggman's control and returned to normal, he resumed his role as the protector of the Chao. They all went back into the Master Emerald. Tikal invited Cheese to go with them so he could be home with all the other Chao, but he decided to stay here with me. Now I think I was being selfish wanting him to stay. Cheese should be with other Chao. But I feel scared & lonely on your world without my Mother. Having Cheese with me makes me feel better.

Chris: I know how you feel. Even though my Mom and Dad live in the same world as I do, they are do busy with their careers, that I don't get to spend much time with them. Before you arrived on Earth and came here live with me, I used to be so lonely too. Grandpa Chuck, Mr. Tanaka, and Ella did everything they could to help me feel less lonely, but I dreamed of finding friends like you who would be with me all the time. Heh. It's kind of funny, I remember a camp out I had for my sixth birthday. Mom and Dad promised they would come, but they both had to work. So, Grandpa suggested I invite Danny, Frances, & Helen & have my campout in the backyard. It wasn't the same as having my folks with me because I knew my friends would have to go home the next morning, but it was the second best birthday party I ever had.

Ayla: And your first?

Chris: When you and your band performed at my last birthday. *I blushed* Anyway, Grandpa started telling us stories about aliens and we had trouble sleeping that night because of all the scary talk about aliens.

Chuck: I think all the sugar you ate had something to do with it too.

Chris: We all woke up to the sounds of something moving outside the tent. We thought it was the aliens, but turns out it was just Ella cleaning up. After that we moved the sleepover inside. It took five years, but the aliens finally found their way to Earth and you all became my friends (Well, expect Dr. Eggman.) I guess Grandpa was right.

Chuck: I try to make it a habit.

*Then Sonic ran into the room, completely covered in dirt & soot*

Sonic: Hi, Amy. Did I miss anything exciting?

Amy: Hi, Sonic. Chris was just telling us a story about his life before we came here.

Chris: I guess what I'm trying to say is that I was lonely before you arrived here. I hope that my being your friend helps you feel a little less lonely.

*Cream & Cheese hugged him*

Cream: It does, Chris. Thank you so much.

Cheese: Chao-Chao!


*The next day, while Cream & Cheese were watching "Next Show", this weird commercial came on the TV. It showed Decoe & Bocoe dressed as Chris & Cream. What really surprised me was that Bocoe was holding a real live Chao*

Dr. Eggman:*on the TV* Have you ever dreamed of owning a Chao just like the one you've seen with Cream the Rabbit?

Decoe:*on the TV* I WISH I HAD A CHAO

*Then it showed Decoe, Bocoe, & Bokkun building something, but having trouble*

Dr. Eggman:*on the TV* Until now, you'd have to spend thousands of little green pieces of paper and build a dimensional portal to get your very own Chao.

Bokkun:*on the TV* BUILDING A DIMENSIONAL PORTAL IS HARD!

*More Chao appeared on the screen*

Dr. Eggman:*on the TV* But not any more because now you can get a live Chao for a fraction of what you expect to pay. Chao make great pets. They're perfect for kids, parents, Grandparents, and everyone who loves to follow the latest trends. And if you call in the next five minutes, we'll double your order free. Call now and a wheelbarrow of little green pieces of paper handy! And if you don't call today, I'll have one of my giant robots crush your house . . . So hurry! Operators are standing by!


*A week later, we were all walking through the city*

Chris: It's amazing. Dr. Eggman's AD has been on TV for only one week and it looks like everyone in Station Square has ordered a Chao.

Tails: Eggman has to be up to something.

Sonic: I agree, Tails, but the question is what?

*Cheese started talking to one of the Chao*

Cheese: Chao?

Chao 1: Chao.

Cheese: Chao?

Chao 1: Chao!

Chris: Where do you think he got them all?

Tails: Maybe he found a way back to Mobius and brought them here

Cream: If he can do that, do you think he can get us back home?

Amy: It would be great to sleep in my own bed again.

Cream: And see my Mother.

Cheese: Chao?

Chao 2: Chao.

Chao 3: Chao.

Chao 4: Chao.

*Chris started to panic*

Chris: But I don't want you to leave!

Ayla: It's okay, Chris. Nobody's going anywhere. We don't even know how Eggman got all these Chao. We're just speculating.

Chris: Sorry. It's just now that I have you as friends, I don't want to lose you.

*Cheese started talking to Cream & looking worried*

Cheese: Chao Chao-Chao, "Chao-Chao" Chao Chao!

Amy: Even if Dr. Eggman has found a way to get us home, we'd come back to visit you.

Sonic: That's right, Chris. We'll be friends forever.

Ayla: And always.

Cream: I don't think these Chao came from Mobius.

Tails: Why not, Cream.

Cream: Cheese has been trying to talk to these other Chao. But they speak a different language.

Sonic: Can he understand what they are saying?

Cheese: Chao Chao-Chao! Chao "Chao" Chao!

Cream: Not exactly. He thinks they are calling him "Father" and saying "The time is almost here!" He says they sound confused and restless and have really bad accents.

Ayla: Now that you mention it. I think you might be on to something, Cream. None of these Chao have tried to tackle me & snuggle me like they usually do.

*One of the Chao looked at me, but blew a raspberry at me & just kept flying*

Tails: You're right. That is weird.

Chris: What do you suppose it means?

Sonic: I'm sure it has something to do with Eggman and that means something bad is bound to happen.


*It's now been a month, & Chao mania has taken Station Square by storm. No matter where you look, Chao were everywhere. Schools, Banks, the Mall, the Park, etc. Today, Chris' Mom, Lindsey paid us a surprise visit, bringing her pet Chao with her*

Lindsey: I love him to pieces, but I can't have him on the set with me. He keeps flying into scenes when I'm acting and ruining the shots. That's why I brought him home to you, dear. You and your friends can take care of him for me when I'm working.

Chris: 'Kay, Mom.

*Her Chao growled at Cheese*

Cheese: Chao!

Ayla:*in her mind* Something is definitely up with these Chao. But what?

*Suddenly, Cheese held his head & started flinching in pain. Then Lindsey's Chao started to change. It was now black & red with a spikey red ball floating over it's head, bat wings, a long tail, & sharp teeth*

Black Chao: ROOOOOAAR!

Tails: Hey! What's happening? I've never seen a Chao do that before!

*The Chao chomped on the coach & ripped a chunk of it off*

Sonic: You guys take cover! I'll handle this!

Ayla: Not without me, you won't!

*The Chao threw the coach & chair at us, pinning us to the wall. Tails dove for a nearby bag & pulled out a Power Ring*

Tails: Sonic! Catch!

*Sonic caught the Power Ring & I got out my Ring Blades*

Sonic: Thanks, Buddy!

*The dark Chao growled & flew right at me. I whacked it away with one of my Ring Blades*

Ayla: You need a time-out, Mister!

Sonic then grabbed a lamp & tied up the Chao with the cord*

Sonic: Maybe that will hold you.

*The Chao growled as Tails ran into the room with a garbage can*

Tails: Maybe we can keep him in here.

Sonic: That's a great idea, Tails.

*We put the Chao inside, tied the lid to the can with some rope & ran outside to the car*

Chris: What do we do now?

Sonic: I say we go to Angel Island and see if the Master Emerald can help calm him down.

Chuck: I'll drive!

*Sonic ran on the road, Tails flew with his tails, I rode on my board, & everyone else got in Chuck's car*

Chris: We'd better get there fast before it breaks out of the garage can! *suddenly, we all came to a screeching halt when we got to the town square* Uh oh!

Sonic: I'd say we're in trouble! Deep deep trouble!

*Every Chao in Station Square had turned black & red & were going bonkers. Attacking people & destroying things*

Scarlet Garcia: We don't know what happened, but suddenly all the Chao have gone crazy and are attacking people left and right! Will anybody be able to save Station Square from complete destruction?
