Chapter 17: Kidnapped!

Day 5
Station Square
9:35 A.M.

	Sonic, feeling MUCH better after Shalita used Tails' machine to 
mend the break in Sonic's leg, was out walking around when Chaima, 
Chahura and Rupicha wandered up to Sonic with a gold object in their 
hands.
	"We found a chao egg!" Chaima said.
	Sonic picked up the egg. "Hey, this is that egg from the store. 
How'd you-?"
	"We traded," Chahura said. "We picked up a light rock that looked 
like an egg and used it to fake the storeowner into giving us the egg. 
No chao should be allowed behind a display window. We're alive, not 
toys for crying out loud," Chaima said.
	"Well let's vamos before he catches on," Sonic said.

	Meanwhile, Amy, Sonia, Chip, Pucha and Birdie were travelling down 
the sidewalk. Sonia noticed the bird liked her medallion and she thought 
the bird was cute, so she let him wear the medallion for a while.
	"Now he's a royal member of the royal family," Chip teased.
	"I wish!" Sonia laughed.
	A shadow fell upon them. They turned around and gasped. Zero!
	"Aaah!' Amy screamed, as they turned around to run. Zero shot out 
some netting, catching everyone but Amy.
	"Run Amy!" Sonia yelled.
	Amy was too scared to argue. As she started to run, Zero grabbed 
her.
	"Hey! Put us down! Let us go!" Amy yelled.
	Zero wandered up the stairs to the train station.
	The train didn't leave yet, but Zero went on down the tracks 
without it. Amy spotted the hedgehog with Shalita and the chao down in 
the street.
	"SONIC!!!" she screamed. Sonic looked up, saw her, and the gang 
ran up to catch the train to go after them.

Train Station
9:41 A.M.

	Sierra, Cyrus, and Trevor piled out of the train, following Big as 
he chased after the frog.
	"That guy is certainly persistant," Cyrus noted.
	"Very," Trevor agreed.
	"Big! Wait up!" Sierra called, running after him. They headed 
off towards Emerald Coast, where they saw the cat going.

Mystic Ruins
10:09 A.M.

	"Put me down you hunk of junk! I mean it!" Amy demanded.
	Zero continued to ignore her as he dragged his cargo of 
prisioners with him.
	"Hey bolt brain! Better put Amy down or I'll squash ya!" came 
Sonic's voice. Zero glanced up and saw the hedgehog, the female, and 3 
of the chao creatures standing on the platform to the Train Station. 
They leaped off the platform in front of Zero.
	The Egg Carrier loomed overhead. "Hey, what's happening here?" 
Sonic asked.
	A beam shot down on Zero and he telepoted up towards the ship.
	"STOOOOOOOP!" Sonic yelled.
	"Sonic! Help me!" Amy cried.
	And they were gone.
	"Shoot, lost her again!" Sonic growled.
	"Sonic," Shalita called, putting the gold egg in a backpack. 
"Take the chao with you."
	"Wha-why?!" Sonic asked.
	"Cause I have a feeling they can help ya," she said as Chaima, 
Chahura, and Rupicha hopped into the backpack.
	"I hope yer right," Sonic said, taking the backpack. "I'm gonna 
go catch the Egg Carrier."
	"Good luck. I'll stay here," Shalita said.
	Sonic nodded. He started to take off, but leaned over and kissed 
her cheek. "I'll be seeing ya again."
	He ran off, leaving a red faced Shalita.

Emerald Coast
10:41 A.M.

	Sierra was playing a two on one volleyball game with the boys.
	"Why can't missions ever be this fun?" Sierra asked.
	"Cause missions like keeping an eye on the big palooka can be 
boring at times," Trevor said, pointing towards Big, who was fishing 
nearby.
	"Why ARE we doing so?" Sierra asked.
	"Are you kidding? When we heard from the resistance that 
Robotnik's after a tailed frog, we did some research. Turns out the 
frog is possessed by some ancient creatre of great destructive power," 
Cyrus explained.
	"Yeah, and when you said your cousin's gone frog chasing, we 
knew it had to be that frog," Trevor said.
	"Yeah well I hope we find it soon," Sierra said.
	"FROGGY!" Big yelled.
	"Huh?" Sierra asked, as the beachball bounced on her head.
	"We win," Trevor called.
	"Hold on, guys! Big's got Froggy!" Sierra said, running to her 
cousin.
	"That's good!" Cyrus said.
	"Can we go home now?" Big asked. He carried his frog as they 
started to leave.
	Cyrus looked a distance and saw a tall robot. "Uh oh, we got 
comany," Cyrus nudged Trevor.

	Gamma saw the frog he had been looking and stalked over, and 
snatched the frog by leaping over the cat. It turned to face Big.
	"Froggy?" Big asked. The robot turned and ran. "Wait! Hold on 
there! Gimme my friend back, please! I'm beggin ya, PLEASE!"
	Big ran after the robot.
	"BIG! Wait up!" Sierra cried, and the three tripped over each 
other. "BIIIIIIIIIIG!!!!!"

Mystic Ruins
11:52 A.M.

	Shalita walked in the door of her home, only to find Bunnie 
and Antoine there.
	"Hey you two! How ya doin?" Shalita asked.
	"We're fine," Bunnie said. "Tails found an emerald and is 
fixing his plane."
	"Tails! He's okay?!" Shalita asked.
	"Yeah, he's bright an dandy," Bunnie said.
	"FINISHED!" came the voice, reassuring Shalita. Tails walked in, 
saw Shalita and hugged her.
	"You're okay!" she cried.
	"Yeah! Have ya seen Sonic anywhere?" Tails asked.
	"Yeah, I think I saw him headed for the Floating Island," Shalita said.
	Tails nodded. "Then that's where I'm going."
	Tails put on his backpack.
	"Good luck!" Shalita said.
	Tails nodded and headed for the hangar.
