Sonic Tales
Chapter 10
(Angel Island)
It was the afternoon, and Knuckles was waiting for Eggman to show up, while Rouge was gone. She had gone to the White jungle, just in case Eggman somehow found the piece of the master emerald. However, no signs of showing up have been introduced.
"That's strange." Knuckles said to himself. "I figured he would've at least sent some robots here. I wonder what he's planning."
(Eggmans 'secret' base)
The reason why Eggman hadn't shown up to Angel island yet, was because Mecha Sonic had not yet shown up with the hostages.
"What could be taking him so long?!" Eggman said irritably. "I'm 'way' behind schedule!"
So he went to his supercomputer, and tried to pinpoint mecha Sonic's coordinates. After a minute or so, he found it. Strangely, it wasn't even moving. So he zoomed the coordinates in closer so that he could get a picture. When the picture became clear, there was mecha Sonic, shut off in the middle of the beach.
"What?! What happened here?!"
That was when Omochao appeared.
"Did you know that mecha Sonic is no longer functioning?"
Eggman turned around. "Oh, it's you. Go away!"
"Did you know that mecha Sonic is clogged up with sand?"
"Why was he even at the beach?!"
Omochao just shrugged.
"Never mind! I'll find out myself!" Then he boarded his Eggflyer, and flew to the beach.
(The Beach)
After quite some time, Eggman finally reached the beach, and approached mecha Sonic. He unclogged the sand, and restarted his system. When it was functional, Eggman spoke.
"So, what were you doing here?! You were supposed to be getting those hostages!"
It nodded, and then pointed to the already tied up Maria's.
"Well, then why didn't you return?!"
Then Omochao appeared.
"They put up a struggle, and then some kids threw sand at him, and then ran off."
"Oh....Wait a minute! I thought you said you didn't know?!"
"I didn't. I just found that out right now."
Ignoring Omochao, he just walked up to the hostages.
"Oh well. At least I know have the bait."
All of a sudden, they were gone. He quickly turned around, and there was Shadow, standing on the remains of a sandcastle.
"Shadow! What are you doing here?!"
Shadow grinned. "Well, some kids told me that a robot was attacking people at the beach." Then he frowned. "I just wish that they weren't so slow in getting to the point!"
Eggman sneered at Shadow. "You may think that you won, but I will have the last laugh!" He pulled out a remote, and pushed it. "See if you can handle this!"
All of a sudden, mecha Sonics eyes lit up to a bright red. A few sparks flickered, and then turned towards Shadow.
"Mecha Sonic! Attack!" then he said to Shadow; "He's been modified since last time Sonic battled him. I'll use 'you' as his first target!"
It wasted no time in attacking. It rushed over at Shadow, who dodged out of the way. He attacked it, but it used its barrier to block the attack. Then it counterattacked with lightning speed, hitting Shadow many times. He broke the chain combo by using chaos control, teleporting directly behind Eggman. Eggman noticed this, and tried to get out of the way, but mecha Sonic was too quick, and hit Eggman (Eggflyer included) into the sky. Shadow dodged just in time. However, the victory was short lived by mecha Sonics quick pummel attack.
"Damn! What do I do now?"
That was when Omochao spoke.
"To take damage to mecha Sonic, look to the beach for support." Then it flew away.
Frustrated, Shadow continued to dodge, getting hit most of the time in the process. Finally, Shadow retreated until he could think of something better. However, mecha Sonic stood in front of him every time. After using chaos control to dodge over and over again, he accidentally kicked some sand in the air. It hit mecha Sonic, causing it to sputter. That was when Shadow realized his weakness.
So he continued to throw piles of sand at it until it was completely covered with it. After some time of doing this, he used the chaos spear to finish it, destroying it in the process. However, just as he was about to put the chaos emerald back in his pocket, a small robotic bug shot out of the remains of mecha Sonic, and grabbed the emerald. Then it quickly flew away as fast as possible.
The first thing he did was go and see if the Maria's were alright.
"Are you okay? Were you hurt?"
"No, we're alright." Said Sr. Maria. "Just go and stop Eggman before it's too late."
"Yeah!" said lil Maria. "Win one for us!"
Shadow nodded, and went in pursuit of the bug.
(Meanwhile: Sonic and Tails' home)
It was a quiet day here. Sonic and Amy were playing checkers, and Tails was still fixing his machines. After a short time, he finally fixed his main computer.
"I did it! I did it!" Tails exclaimed excitedly while jumping for joy. "My computer is finally fixed!"
Sonic and Amy went over to congratulate him.
"Great job, Tails." Said Sonic.
"Yeah, way to go!" said Amy.
Tails sat down on the chair, and turned the computer on. "Now we can see what Eggman was trying to keep from us."
After some time of searching, he finally hacked into Eggmans master computer. After reading the layout of the plans, he translated their meaning to Sonic and Amy. Amy wanted to go with Sonic, but he insisted that she stay there, and keep out of trouble.
So, boarding the Tornado, they flew towards Eggmans 'secret' base, which everybody should know by now, isn't very secret.
(Meanwhile: Angel Island)
Eggmans Eggflyer finally landed at Angel Island, where an impatient Echidna was waiting for battle.
"About time you showed up." Said Knuckles. "So, you gonna make this easy on yourself?"
Eggman looked at the echidna. "This should be simple. After all, it's only you."
Suddenly, a loud beeping could be heard. "Hold on a second." Said Eggman as he brought out his beacon. He looked at it to see what was happening. Unfortunately for him, it was a warning that someone has infiltrated his base.
"What?! How could this be?!" Then he turned to Knuckles. "I'm afraid I'll have to postpone our battle. I'm needed elsewhere." The he set the Eggflyer to auto repair, and then boarded it. Finally, he took off as fast as he could.
"You're not getting away that easily!" shouted Knuckles as he took flight.
Eggman noticed that he was being followed, so he put on visors, and then shot out a blinding light in every direction, temporarily blinding the echidna. When his vision returned, the Eggflyer was gone.
"Well, at least he didn't get the emerald piece." Then he thought about the situation. "Hmm. This might be what he wants me to think. I better take precautions." So he flew to the White jungle to see if Rouge and the emerald piece were still there.
(Meanwhile: Eggmans 'secret' base)
After much chasing, Shadow finally chased the robotic bug to Eggmans 'secret' base. He looked around for a quieter way inside. After a few seconds of thinking, he decided to just burst in through the front entrance, dodging all of the traps and obstacles.
Some time later, Sonic and Tails reached the base. Sonic noticed that the front entrance was already demolished, and the obstacles were already cleared. Still a bit confused, they entered anyways. When they were inside, they saw Shadow completely annihilating a small robotic bug. They then approached him.
"What's with you?" asked Sonic. "This bug bite you or something?"
"For your information." started Shadow, but then realized that Sonic and Tails were here. "What are 'you' doing here? Shouldn't you be on a date with Amy or something?"
"Watch it, Shadow." Warned Sonic. "Besides, Tails got his computer running again, and hacked into Eggmans supercomputer. He read what his evil scheme was about, so that brings us here. Simply to stop him."
"Why are 'you' here?" asked Tails. "I was kind of wondering that."
So Shadow told his story about all that had happened. Sonic and Tails completely understood it, and then Tails told Shadow of the plan that Eggman was devising. However, just before they started to retrieve the chaos emeralds, Eggman burst through the door with his Eggwalker.
"Stop right there!" Then he noticed the intruders. "No! Sonic, Tails, 'and' Shadow?! You can't be here! You'll ruin everything!"
"That's exactly the point, Eggbutt!" said Sonic.
"When I'm done with you, you'll be eating out of a straw!" exclaimed Shadow.
Eggman growled. "Don't think you're getting out of here so easily!" Then he pressed a red button by a wall. It activated every robot in the base, all of which were programmed to destroy intruders. "Destroy them!"
Sonic whispered to Tails. "Tails. You go get the chaos emeralds and the master emerald. Then, give them to us, and escape with the master emerald. Shadow and I will try to buy you some time. Got it?"
"Loud and clear." Tails whispered back.
So while Tails was sneaking off, Sonic and Shadow were destroying robots left and right, while Eggman kept sending in bigger and stronger ones faster than they could destroy them. This, of course, was wearing out the two hedgehogs. That was when Omochao appeared.
"To replenish energy, always carry at least one ring."
"But we lost our rings!" shouted Sonic. "We need some clear time in order to find some more!"
Omochao shrugged. "Then I guess you're screwed." Then it flew out of reach.
The two hedgehogs didn't have enough time to throttle the little robot, as they were already preoccupied with more and more 'other' robots.
(Meanwhile: In some other area of the base)
After some time of searching, Tails finally found the room where Eggman had hid the master emerald, along with the location of the other chaos emeralds. He took the master emerald and placed it inside the Tornado. Then he grabbed each of the chaos emeralds, put them in a bag, and loaded it into the Tornado. Finally, he got in himself, and then rushed back to Sonic and Shadow as fast as he could, clearing some obstacles in the process.
(Meanwhile: White Jungle)
Knuckles and Rouge were searching around for the piece of the master emerald. For some strange reason, it kept moving on the radar.
"How did this happen?" asked Knuckles.
"I'm not sure." Answered Rouge. "One moment, I was finding something to eat, and the next moment, my radar went off."
So, after some time of searching, they finally found what the cause of the emerald pieces' movement was. Right next to the lake, they saw something that they would've never expected to see.
"Big?!" they both exclaimed.
Yes, it was Big. Apparently, he was using the emerald piece as bait to lure his once again missing Froggy towards him. The two quickly rushed next to him.
"Give me the piece of the master emerald!" Knuckles demanded.
Big just gave a vacant stare. After a moment of pause, he finally spoke.
"Uh....what that?"
"Oh never mind! I'll get it myself!" exclaimed Knuckles. He looked at the lake, and then at the fishing pole. Finally, he jumped in the water to swim after it. Unfortunately, it was filled with piranhas, and the echidna quickly flew out of the water.
That was when Omochao appeared.
"Be careful of the fish that live in the water."
Knuckles turned towards Omochao. "You could've told me that sooner!"
"Did you know that Big's Froggy isn't in that lake?"
"Obviously."
After several seconds of discussion, Big heard what Omochao said, and dropped the fishing pole into the lake.
"Duh....Me need find Froggy somewhere other!" Then he ran off.
Looking down over the water, Knuckles and Rouge thought about how to get that emerald piece back.
"So, any suggestions?" asked Rouge.
"I have one." Answered Omochao. "If you wait long enough, he will come."
"Huh?"
"Patience is a virtue."
"You're not making any sense!"
"Wait and see." Then it flew off.
"Some help 'you' were!"
So the two of them continued to ponder the situation. Just 'how' were they going to get that piece of the master emerald back?
(Meanwhile: Back at Eggmans 'secet' base)
Both hedgehogs were getting really tired. Eggman was now laughing maniacally as they were getting hit more and more by his robots. A minute later, Tails flew above them.
"I have just what you need." He said as he untied the bag he was holding. "Here, catch." Then he dropped the chaos emeralds above Sonic and Shadow, who eagerly caught them. "Good luck! I'm giving this back to Knuckles." Then he flew off in the Tornado.
"Oh no you don't!" shouted Eggman as he boarded his Eggflyer. "Come back here!" Then he flew in pursuit of the fox.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Shadow used the chaos emeralds to become Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow!
"Shadow! Go get us some rings!" said Sonic. "I'll divert them for a while."
So he did. Within seconds, he had enough rings for both of them. They used their new found strength to pound every robot in the vicinity to scrap metal. Then they collect some more rings for the road. Finally, and just for the fun of it, they destroyed Eggmans entire base. When they were finished, they flew off in pursuit of him.
(Meanwhile: White Jungle)
Using the radar on the Tornado, Tails found the location of the emerald piece. He wondered why the emerald looked a little different, but now it was all clear. He landed next to Rouge and Knuckles, who were still thinking of a safe way to get the emerald piece.
"I'll get it!" said Tails eagerly. He pushed a button, and a bubble top appeared on the Tornado. Then he walked it inside of the lake. Within seconds, he emerged with the last piece which he quickly gave it to Knuckles, who easily reassembled it.
"Thanks, Tails." Said Knuckles. "It's great to have my master emerald back!"
"I'll bet it is." Said Rouge. "It's quite strange how Omochao was right about waiting."
"Omochao?" Tails asked. "He was here?"
Before they could answer him, however, Eggman flew into the scene. He fired many weapons at them, in which they dodged swiftly. Tails counterattacked by firing all that he had on the mad scientist. While firing, Eggman pushed a few more buttons.
"Don't think I haven't come prepared, fox boy!" said Eggman. "Look over the horizon!"
Knuckles looked over at the mountain, which began to look less and less like a mountain, and more and more like a machine. That's right. The whole mountain was a giant robot!
"We'll try to hold it off." Said Knuckles. "Tails, you keep Eggman busy."
"You got it!" answered Tails.
Both Knuckles and Rouge, now hand in hand, flew at the robot, flying circles around its head, which was kind of hard to do, given its size. They used their special attacks on it, but to no avail. Suddenly, Omochao appeared.
"You should know Eggman by now. Search this robots body for a special weakness."
Knowing that what Omochao said just now had a ring of logic, they flew around, looking for a vulnerable area, shooting everywhere. Finally, the robot decided to fire back. It forehead opened up, revealing a red light, along with a rail cannon. They quickly took a hit at it, causing it to stagger, but not stopping its charge. In three seconds, it fired, barely missing its target. Both Knuckles and Rouge quickly backed away from it.
"At the rate 'we're' going, it'll have destroyed this entire jungle before we even destroy it!" said Knuckles irritably.
"You think we should wait? You know, like before?" asked Rouge.
"I highly doubt two coincidences will occur on the same hour."
Then, as if to prove him wrong, Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow entered the scene.
"You were saying?" said Rouge.
The first thing that the two powered up hedgehogs did, was trash Eggmans Eggwalker.
"Sonic! Shadow!" exclaimed Tails. "It's great to see you guys!"
"No time for small talk." Said Shadow. "We have a giant robot to destroy first!"
"You can say that again!" said Sonic as he saw the size of it. "I wonder what makes it tick."
Omochao appeared next to them.
"To defeat the boss, wait for it to fire before hitting it."
"He's right...in a way." Said Knuckles. "Whenever it opens its forehead to fire out a blast, it reveals.." That was all the echidna could say before everyone was distracted by something charging.
By instinct, they all scattered as it fired aimlessly, not caring what it hit. Sonic and Shadow noticed the glowing red light.
Sonic grinned. "Same ol' predictable Eggman."
So the two of them charged at the robot. They continued to attack it until it opened up for another attack. Sonic quickly destroyed the rail cannon while Shadow gave the red light a full frontal assault. Without its rail cannon, it was pretty much helpless. So, after the next time it tried to open its forehead for another attack, it was destroyed easily by a two pronged attack by the two powered up hedgehogs.
When it was completely destroyed, the two reverted back to their normal selves, and joined the group again.
"So, where's Eggman?" asked Sonic.
Tails sighed. "Unfortunately, he got away, again."
"Oh well. At least we showed him that he can't ever win against two cool hedgehogs."
"I'll second that." Said Shadow. "After all, it 'is' the truth."
"So, what do we do now?" asked Tails.
"I'll go take the chaos emeralds to a place where they can't be found." Answered Shadow.
"We'll all help." Said Tails.
"Not me." Said Knuckles. "I'm going back to Angel Island to return the master emerald to its rightful place."
"And I'll come with you." Said Rouge.
So, everyone did what was needed to be done.
(Twinkle Park: The next day)
After that whole fiasco, everyone decided that it would be a great idea to have some fun at Twinkle Park, even Knuckles and Rouge.
Sonic made a quick visit to chao world to pick up his present to Amy, which, once she saw, was ecstatic. She hugged him tightly, but only for a second, and then let go, much to Sonics relief. Not that he still hated it; it's just that he liked breathing better.
Shadow, Tails, and the two Maria's were also having fun. They rode rides, played games, and watched Shadow break his own record in "Nights Pinball."
Big finally found his Froggy, and with the advice of Omochao, put Froggy on a leash. So Big spent the day playing with his Froggy, while Omochao spent the day "helping" people.
So, all in all, everyone was having fun. Well, everybody except for one person.
(Eggmans "New" secret base)
Eggman was constructing his new base. One that will be much stronger than the last one. Fortunately, such a base will take a long time to build, so, in the meantime, he won't be bothering anybody for quite a while.
(Twinkle Park: Evening)
After everyone had fun, they went home. Sonic escorted Amy home, and then raced Tails home. Knuckles went back to guard the master emerald, but not without escorting Rouge back home first. Big somehow lost his Froggy again, and is currently searching for it, again. And Omochao, well, let's just say that he's still "helping" people.
THE END
Well, that's it for this story. Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing it!^_^ So, tell me what you thought of the story as a whole. You can either review, and/or you can send an e-mail. Once again, it is rubynall@hotmail.com
Well, that's it. I'll now be working on another story (although I'm not sure what of). Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of something.
Sorry for taking so long to update. I had major writers block on how I should end this. I hope it was worth it. Enjoy!^_^
Oh, and please excuse the spacing in between scene changes. That is ff.net's doing (always screwing up).

"Did you know that mecha Sonic is clogged up with sand?"
"Why was he even at the beach?!"
Omochao just shrugged.
"Never mind! I'll find out myself!" Then he boarded his Eggflyer, and flew to the beach.
(The Beach)
After quite some time, Eggman finally reached the beach, and approached mecha Sonic. He unclogged the sand, and restarted his system. When it was functional, Eggman spoke.
"So, what were you doing here?! You were supposed to be getting those hostages!"
It nodded, and then pointed to the already tied up Maria's.

"Oh....Wait a minute! I thought you said you didn't know?!"
"I didn't. I just found that out right now."
Ignoring Omochao, he just walked up to the hostages.
"Oh well. At least I know have the bait."
All of a sudden, they were gone. He quickly turned around, and there was Shadow, standing on the remains of a sandcastle.
"Shadow! What are you doing here?!"
Shadow grinned. "Well, some kids told me that a robot was attacking people at the beach." Then he frowned. "I just wish that they weren't so slow in getting to the point!"
Eggman sneered at Shadow. "You may think that you won, but I will have the last laugh!" He pulled out a remote, and pushed it. "See if you can handle this!"

"No, we're alright." Said Sr. Maria. "Just go and stop Eggman before it's too late."

Shadow nodded, and went in pursuit of the bug.
(Meanwhile: Sonic and Tails' home)
It was a quiet day here. Sonic and Amy were playing checkers, and Tails was still fixing his machines. After a short time, he finally fixed his main computer.
"I did it! I did it!" Tails exclaimed excitedly while jumping for joy. "My computer is finally fixed!"
Sonic and Amy went over to congratulate him.

"Some help 'you' were!"
So the two of them continued to ponder the situation. Just 'how' were they going to get that piece of the master emerald back?
(Meanwhile: Back at Eggmans 'secet' base)
Both hedgehogs were getting really tired. Eggman was now laughing maniacally as they were getting hit more and more by his robots. A minute later, Tails flew above them.
"I have just what you need." He said as he untied the bag he was holding. "Here, catch." Then he dropped the chaos emeralds above Sonic and Shadow, who eagerly caught them. "Good luck! I'm giving this back to Knuckles." Then he flew off in the Tornado.
"Oh no you don't!" shouted Eggman as he boarded his Eggflyer. "Come back here!" Then he flew in pursuit of the fox.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Shadow used the chaos emeralds to become Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow!
"Shadow! Go get us some rings!" said Sonic. "I'll divert them for a while."
So he did. Within seconds, he had enough rings for both of them. They used their new found strength to pound every robot in the vicinity to scrap metal. Then they collect some more rings for the road. Finally, and just for the fun of it, they destroyed Eggmans entire base. When they were finished, they flew off in pursuit of him.
(Meanwhile: White Jungle)
Using the radar on the Tornado, Tails found the location of the emerald piece. He wondered why the emerald looked a little different, but now it was all clear. He landed next to Rouge and Knuckles, who were still thinking of a safe way to get the emerald piece.
"I'll get it!" said Tails eagerly. He pushed a button, and a bubble top appeared on the Tornado. Then he walked it inside of the lake. Within seconds, he emerged with the last piece which he quickly gave it to Knuckles, who easily reassembled it.
"Thanks, Tails." Said Knuckles. "It's great to have my master emerald back!"
"I'll bet it is." Said Rouge. "It's quite strange how Omochao was right about waiting."
"Omochao?" Tails asked. "He was here?"
Before they could answer him, however, Eggman flew into the scene. He fired many weapons at them, in which they dodged swiftly. Tails counterattacked by firing all that he had on the mad scientist. While firing, Eggman pushed a few more buttons.
"Don't think I haven't come prepared, fox boy!" said Eggman. "Look over the horizon!"
Knuckles looked over at the mountain, which began to look less and less like a mountain, and more and more like a machine. That's right. The whole mountain was a giant robot!
"We'll try to hold it off." Said Knuckles. "Tails, you keep Eggman busy."
"You got it!" answered Tails.
Both Knuckles and Rouge, now hand in hand, flew at the robot, flying circles around its head, which was kind of hard to do, given its size. They used their special attacks on it, but to no avail. Suddenly, Omochao appeared.
"You should know Eggman by now. Search this robots body for a special weakness."
Knowing that what Omochao said just now had a ring of logic, they flew around, looking for a vulnerable area, shooting everywhere. Finally, the robot decided to fire back. It forehead opened up, revealing a red light, along with a rail cannon. They quickly took a hit at it, causing it to stagger, but not stopping its charge. In three seconds, it fired, barely missing its target. Both Knuckles and Rouge quickly backed away from it.
"At the rate 'we're' going, it'll have destroyed this entire jungle before we even destroy it!" said Knuckles irritably.
"You think we should wait? You know, like before?" asked Rouge.
"I highly doubt two coincidences will occur on the same hour."
Then, as if to prove him wrong, Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow entered the scene.
"You were saying?" said Rouge.
The first thing that the two powered up hedgehogs did, was trash Eggmans Eggwalker.
"Sonic! Shadow!" exclaimed Tails. "It's great to see you guys!"
"No time for small talk." Said Shadow. "We have a giant robot to destroy first!"
"You can say that again!" said Sonic as he saw the size of it. "I wonder what makes it tick."
Omochao appeared next to them.
"To defeat the boss, wait for it to fire before hitting it."
"He's right...in a way." Said Knuckles. "Whenever it opens its forehead to fire out a blast, it reveals.." That was all the echidna could say before everyone was distracted by something charging.
By instinct, they all scattered as it fired aimlessly, not caring what it hit. Sonic and Shadow noticed the glowing red light.
Sonic grinned. "Same ol' predictable Eggman."
So the two of them charged at the robot. They continued to attack it until it opened up for another attack. Sonic quickly destroyed the rail cannon while Shadow gave the red light a full frontal assault. Without its rail cannon, it was pretty much helpless. So, after the next time it tried to open its forehead for another attack, it was destroyed easily by a two pronged attack by the two powered up hedgehogs.
When it was completely destroyed, the two reverted back to their normal selves, and joined the group again.
"So, where's Eggman?" asked Sonic.
Tails sighed. "Unfortunately, he got away, again."
"Oh well. At least we showed him that he can't ever win against two cool hedgehogs."
"I'll second that." Said Shadow. "After all, it 'is' the truth."
"So, what do we do now?" asked Tails.
"I'll go take the chaos emeralds to a place where they can't be found." Answered Shadow.
"We'll all help." Said Tails.
"Not me." Said Knuckles. "I'm going back to Angel Island to return the master emerald to its rightful place."
"And I'll come with you." Said Rouge.
So, everyone did what was needed to be done.
(Twinkle Park: The next day)
After that whole fiasco, everyone decided that it would be a great idea to have some fun at Twinkle Park, even Knuckles and Rouge.
Sonic made a quick visit to chao world to pick up his present to Amy, which, once she saw, was ecstatic. She hugged him tightly, but only for a second, and then let go, much to Sonics relief. Not that he still hated it; it's just that he liked breathing better.
Shadow, Tails, and the two Maria's were also having fun. They rode rides, played games, and watched Shadow break his own record in "Nights Pinball."
Big finally found his Froggy, and with the advice of Omochao, put Froggy on a leash. So Big spent the day playing with his Froggy, while Omochao spent the day "helping" people.
So, all in all, everyone was having fun. Well, everybody except for one person.
(Eggmans "New" secret base)
Eggman was constructing his new base. One that will be much stronger than the last one. Fortunately, such a base will take a long time to build, so, in the meantime, he won't be bothering anybody for quite a while.
(Twinkle Park: Evening)
After everyone had fun, they went home. Sonic escorted Amy home, and then raced Tails home. Knuckles went back to guard the master emerald, but not without escorting Rouge back home first. Big somehow lost his Froggy again, and is currently searching for it, again. And Omochao, well, let's just say that he's still "helping" people.
