Bei Zuki the Chao.

Hi guys! Today our heroes go in search of the Tasmanian Tiger, Nake! And we also see what vile plan Eggman has concocted, Meet Hersugah, Rex and Villien, and other fun like that!

~*Chapter Three*~

Knuckles the Echidna looked around at his surroundings. He saw Amy Rose carrying a bright neon pink bag and was listening to a portable radio. They had all drill drived to the bottom of Angel Island (Knuckles had carried Amy), and Rouge, Chaos and Erchine were figuring out were they should search first.

"We should search for Nake first" said Erchine thoughtfully. "Why?" questioned Chaos Zero. "Because Nake is the one who would get into the most trouble-he seems to attract it" sighed Erchine, sharpening his teeth on a stone. "Okay then, but were should we look?" asked Rouge. At this comment, Amy turned around and batted her eyelids. "Listen to this!" she said excitedly as she handed the radio to Rouge.

"As we were saying, millions of inhabitants of Station Square have sighted a bright light appearing around 2 hours ago. We now speak to Maria P. Mongoose, a witness, to find out more details."

"Yes, hi. I was there when it happened. And uh, yeah, we saw this huge burst of light appear in the middle of Station Square. And after the light, you know, disapeared, I swear I saw this orange blur up on top of a building. I dunno what it was, but straight after that, it dashed away!"

"And there you have it! Who knows who or what this was, but we can be assured that our officers will look into it. This is Maracas chao, signing off" finished the radio.

"Nake!" burst out Erchine. "Station square it is then!" said Stinger. Everyone turned around, suprized. "Stinger?! What are you doing here?!" shouted Knuckles. Stinger looked hurt. "You think that you would leave your favorite chao behind?" he asked. "I guess not, but I don't know about the 'favorite' part" retorted his owner. Amy rose looked impatient. "Shall we go? I'd like to find Nake!" she said, pulling at Knuckle's quills. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay Okay! Let's go!" said Knuckles to the others, tears being jerked from his eyes. Knuckles picked up Amy and Him, Chaos and Rouge began to glide off. Stinger ran frantically after them.

Meanwhile, in a secret hideout, Doctor Eggman Robotnick was staring at three figures that his Sonic-robot, Mecha had captured and thrown them into a cage. He stared at the first. It was a black dingo-like thing with white-purple fur, yellowed whites in his eyes and red pupils. He had a Maroon-Purple bang on his forehead and a scowl on his face. The second was a crocodile with black and dark green stripe-makings on his eyes. He had a dark ebony jewel on his head and dark green stripes on his legs. He was very tall, and needed to stoop to fit into the cell. The third was a robot with cold, crimson eyes and vicious sabers. Eggman stepped away from the cell and turned his bald head towards the dark blue robot hovering next to him. "So Metal Sonic, how did you find these intruders?" asked the evil doctor. "Bweep, Bweep, Beep, Bip!, Bee-" beeped the mute robot before being cut off by his master. "I think I shall just ask them myself thanks Metal" answered Eggman who turned to the cell again "Who are you, and why are you here? Are you friends of that meddling hedgehog, Sonic?"

The Crocodile moved closer the the bars of the cage and snarled "Why do you think you have the right to talk to someone as great as the one, the only, Rex!?" "Rex?" asked Eggman. "Yes, do you not know of the great Rex, the nemesis of Nake? (Eggman stared at Rex blankly) The attempting destroyer of Zeen? (Eggman still had a blank face) The bad guy? (Eggman looked lost at all this talk) Oh come on fatso! Answer me!" sighed Rex. "I'M NOT FAT!!! I'm just.....big-boned" answered Eggman angrily. The black dingo smoothly (And rather cooly) walked up to the bars. "Excuse me," said the demonic dingo "But Rex has no time to speak to ones who are obviously ignorant idiots." At this point, Mecha loyally tried to lunge at the dingo, but ended up slamming the bars. The metal robot in the cell hovered up to the battered robot. "Bweep?" asked the robot. Mecha zapped back online and said "Bweep?" Immediately the two robots were happily chatting in bweeps and zaps and all that. Eggman, Rex and the demonic Dingo all blinked their eyes and sweatdropped. Eggman looked at Rex. "Rex, just what is your profession?" asked Eggman. "Evil genius. Why?" said Rex curiously. "So am I! I wonder....do you have a certain nemesis that always foils your plans?" said Eggman thoughtfully. Rex's eyes narrowed angrily. "Yes," he said, his words full of hate "Nake the tasmanian Tiger. He ALWAYS has to save the day. Oh how I loathe him!" "Wow! Just like me and Sonic!" said an amazed Eggman. "Really? That is interesting...come to think of it...Nake is here on this strange planet too! I must destroy him!" exclaimed Rex.

"If I may suggest-" said a black with red striped spines hedgehog. The demonic Dingo's eyes widened as he saw him. "Shadow?! How long were you here for?" asked Eggman. "Long enough" replied Shadow simply."But who is this?" he asked, poking the dingo in the ribs, hard. The Dingo's eyes went purely evil. "Don't you EVER do that! That hurt! I shall incinerate anyone that dares to harm me because I am the ultimate life-form, Hersugah!" he roared. Shadow blinked. "No, I am the ultimate life-form" he said calmly. "No, I am!" said Hersugah defiantly. "Break it up you guys!" said Rex and Eggman at the same time. The two black creatures stopped immediately, stared at eachother, then started to talk happily about how it ruled being the ultimate life-form. Everyone else in the dark, dank room fell over. "I was thinking," said Eggman to the spiked crocodile "Maybe we can join forces. That way, I will finally be able to defeat Sonic, and the same for you and Nake!" "That is a good idea, but how about we take over the world as well?" said Rex, thoughtful. "That is the most......brilliant plan! The most original yet! I'll let you out!" exclaimed Eggman as he pressed a button and it released the three captives. "Come," said Rex, taking Dr.Robotnick by the shoulder "Let us plan......" The hideout blacked out as they walked off. "SHADOW!!! DID YOU PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL?!!!!!" shouted Eggman behind him.

Meanwhile, Knuckles and his friends had reached Station Square. Rouge, Chaos and Knuckles lowered down onto the busy street. Everyone else went about their own business like it was normal for a bat, a hedgehog, an Echidna and a puddle of....stuff to land in the middle of the street. "Amy," said Knuckles to the Pink hedgehog who was clinging to him very tightly "could you please get off of me?!" "Eh heh heh heh..." said Amy nervously as she let go of him "....sorry!" Knuckles looked strangely at the 12-yr old female. Erchine sniffed the air. "He is near" he said quietly, beginning to climb up the side of a building. Chaos followed him intently. Amy stared up, then looked at Knuckles. "Knuckles, I can't climb...." she said hintingly. "No, he can't carry you Amy, can you Knuckles?" cut Rouge in quickly, staring at Knuckles with an acidic look. "No, sorry Amy. You stay down here" said Knuckles, looking into Rouge's sapphire eyes. Rouge and Knuckles began to climb up as well. Amy scowled.

"Oh that Rouge! She's a good friend, but she's such a brat sometimes!" she said angrily, staring up at them.

Erchine was the first to reach the top. He looked around at his surroundings. He saw a concrete roof (Which he was standing on), a few pipes, an air vent and.....

"Nake!" said Erchine, running up to an orange figure. He looked at Nake. Nake had a goofy look on his face and a vacant expression in his blue eyes. "Nake!" shouted Erchine again. Nake did not respond. Erchine began to get angry. "NAKE!!!!!!" shouted Erchine, shaking him violently. Nake's eyes focused and, in his confusion, fell ontop of Erchine. Nake looked at Erchine. "Erchine! Is that, like, really you, like dude?!" said the orange marsupial. "YES! YES! NAKE!" shouted Erchine in anger. Just then Chaos Zero pulled himself up, to see Nake ontop of Erchine, and Erchine shouting "YES! YES! YESSSS NAKE!!!". Chaos Zero slowly began to pull himself up, and said "Now I know why you wanted to find Nake first." Erchine and Nake's eyes went wide, and Nake jumped off of Erchine. "Dude, you know, It's like, not what you, like, think!" said Nake, embarrassed. "Really it's not!" said Erchine quickly. "Yeah! Yeah Erchine!" said Chaos Zero sarcastically. Just then, Knuckles and Rouge looked up from over the top of the ledge and both shivered at the thought they just had from hearing chaos Zero go "YEAH! YEAAH ERCHINE!!!!" "So this is Nake" said Knuckles as he helped Rouge up. "Yeah, that's like, my, like, you know, name" said the Tasmanian tiger. "I see what you mean about the 'like' thing Erchine" said Rouge. "Well, like, 'like' is like, my favorite, like word!" said Nake happily. "Whatever. We have Nake now, so we'd better go back down" decided Chaos Zero. The four animals (I don't know if Chaos Zero counts as an animal. Oh well.), drill drived down to the road below.

"Took you long enough!" Said Amy angrily.
