Thanks for all the replies guys! I feel so loved! LOL. Anyway, Happy LATE Valentine's Day! I don't even know if this post will go through, If it did, then ignore this message plz (Except for the thanking part) Okay, so, READ ON!
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Perfect! Not even that stupid blue hedgehog can stop me now! With this Master Emerald, I shall create the ultimate robotization gun, and then I shall rule the world!" Dr. Eggman laughed maniacally.
"My, how original." Rouge mocked from the place where she was tied up.
"Shut up, you stupid excuse for an animal," Eggman snapped. "When I'm finished making the gun, YOU'LL be the guinea pig!"
Rouge gasped.
'I've got to find a way out of this place,' she thought to herself.
"Rouge? Gone?" asked Amy in surprise.
"Yeah. . ." Tears were close to leaking out of Knuckles' eyes.
'What am I doing? I can't go crying in front of them.' He thought, but a tear or two came out anyway.
"Go on, Knux, let it all out." Sonic joked. Knux glared at him, tears brimming in his eyes.
"Sonic, please, stop. Knuckles is emotionally hurt." Tails protested against Sonic's constant word play.
"Alright, alright. Sheesh."
"Come on, let's all get over to Tails' place,"
They all nodded and left, Knuckles and Tails took to the air while Sonic and Amy went on the train.
"So, Sonic, does this mean we're an official couple?" asked Amy once they had found a completely deserted train compartment.
"Yeah, I guess so." Sonic replied, hugging her for the first time. Amy was a bit shocked by this, but soon adjusted to the embrace.
"What do you think Eggman's gonna do with Rouge?"
"I dunno, but whatever it is, we better rescue her from it fast, or Knux'll be torn."
Amy nodded her agreement, and they soon entered the workshop that Tails had built for himself.
"Hi, guys, come on in." said Tails. Knuckles was seated at a table near the entrance. Though his features didn't show it, Amy could tell that he was really angry and sad at the same time.
"Okay," Sonic said as he sat down. "Does anyone have any idea of how we're gonna rescue Rouge and beat Eggman's plans. . . Again?" he added as an afterthought.
Silence.
"Oh come on, do I have to think of everything here?" Sonic asked.
A sigh from the red echidna. "Can't we just break in and do it?"
Tails shook his head. "No way. He'd most likely be suspecting we do that, besides, what if he got a new home base?"
"Then we'll find it." Knuckles snapped, irritated by now that the possibility of finding Rouge seemed like zero.
"Where would we start looking?" Tails replied, equal in tone of voice.
"The Pyramids?" Amy suggested, hoping to be at least a little helpful in the mission.
"No, that'd be - wait a minute! Great idea, Amy!" Tails snapped his fingers.
"Well then, what are we waiting for?" exclaimed Sonic as he jumped out of his daydream of chilidogs. All of them - excluding Knuckles - boarded Tails' new-and-improved Tornado 3, while Knuckles flew of his own accord.
"There!" Sonic pointed over to a huge group of pyramids.
"Which one should we check out first?" Tails called.
"The one with Eggman's logo printed on it!" Sonic shouted over the roar of the wind and the engines.
Knux rolled his eyes.
They landed, and headed toward the entrance of the base.
"That was almost too easy, there were no robots to destroy!" Sonic said, almost disappointed.
Suddenly, a huge robot about the size of the pyramid/base appeared, and began shooting at them.
"Whoops, spoke too soon. . ." Knuckles said sarcastically.
"I've done it!" another laugh from the evil scientist.
"Done what? Blown something up?" Rouge spat.
Dr. Robotnik growled. "I'm getting tired of your antics, bat. I think I'll just deal with you now." He said, turning to her.
Rouge glared, while Eggman aimed the gun at her.
Suddenly, a voice in her head said, 'Scream! Scream louder than you ever have in your life!'
So she did.
The scream that emitted from her lips was louder than loud. It was so big that it went through the walls of the pyramid, so big that it shattered the computer screens, and the Master Emerald.
Silence between our heroes, then. . .
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"What was that?"
"I dunno! But we should keep our focus on this over - sized toaster oven!"
Despite their efforts, though, they couldn't find a weak spot, not even when they shot a bomb into its mouth.
"Man, what are we supposed to do to defeat this thing?!" Tails yelled, frantically trying to search for a weak spot on the mini - computer on the Tornado.
Knuckles, who was flying around its head, trying to find a weak spot and at the same time distracting it, noticed a tiny red button on the back of the robot. Curious, he pressed it, causing the robot to automatically shut down.
"Curses! You've broken my robotization ray AND that hedgehog has figured out how to defeat my robot!" screamed Eggman.
"Well, it wasn't so hard to figure out, considering you DID put that button right on the back of the robot. It wasn't exactly hard to miss." Rouge pointed out, laughing.
"Quit laughing. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve for your friends."
Indeed, Rouge did stop laughing.
"What kind of tricks?" She asked cautiously.
"Oh, you'll see." Robotnik snickered, pushing her over to the screen to view her friends' so called 'doom'.
"Cool job, Knux! Now we can get inside and get this over with!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Uh - huh," Knuckles replied.
They headed inside, and when they did, they found that no robots were waiting for them inside either.
"What GIVES?!" shouted Sonic.
"Chill, would you?" Knuckles snapped. Suddenly, the floor crumbled under them, and they fell into a room unknown to them. Robots surrounded them, but right then they didn't know, that is, until the lights turned on.
"See?" Knux said, irritated.
"Alright, alright, I got it; be careful what you wish for. Sheesh." The blue hedgehog replied.
"Less talking, more fighting!" Tails shouted, narrowly dodging several laser beams shot from the robots.
"Right!" they shouted, and began the long battle, in which the middle of a hidden intercom made itself known.
"Keep fighting, hedgehog. It's futile, I'll just keep sending more and more robots until you tire yourself out, and your little bat friend's gonna have a front row seat of the whole show."
"Guys stop, it's a tra -" Rouge tried to shout, but was automatically gagged by Eggman.
"Shut up, you insolent animal. Anyway, while you're running around like crazy, I'll be re - making my robotization ray! And guess who'll be the first one to be roboticized?"
"No. . ." the red echidna gasped.
"That's right, Knucklehead! Your girlfriend's the lab rat in this experiment, followed by the rest of you! Hahahahahahaha!"
"You better let her go or I'll - augh!" Knuckles screamed. He'd been hit by a laser.
"Knuckles! Oh no!" Tails yelled, immediately rushing over to him, dodging lasers as he went. "We have to get him to a medical center fast, or he's not gonna make it! Those lasers are lethal!"
"Way ahead of ya lil bro!" Yelled Sonic from the other end of the large room. He homing - attacked the rest of the robots, and before Robotnik could send anymore, he dashed out of the place with Tails, Knuckles, and Amy on hand.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" which presented itself to be a big "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" from Rouge.
"Be quiet, would you? I'm trying to rebuild the robotization ray!"
Rouge, mentally sobbing, drooped her head in agony.
I'm sorry, I sucked on this chapter, didn't I? Let me know if I did, and I'm kinda fresh out of ideas so if you guys have any, please share!
