CHAPTER FIVE
============
Amy and Cream entered their room, and laid the kids on the futon.
Amy said, "I need a rest. This is getting depressing. I need a nap."
Cream moaned, "Me too." They both collapsed on the futon with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
***
In the hallway, Fang got up, rubbing his bruised head, "Those kids. They oughtta die for that."
When Shoko came into the hallway, she suddenly trembled back, "Do you need help? Your head looks bruised."
Fang tipped his cowboy hat and smiled, "Nope, but you might." He then punched Shoko in the gut, and she fell over, knocked out.
Fang coninued, "Now, where are the kids?"
Fang grasped Shoko around her neck and thrust her up against the wall, "Tell me now!"
She kicked her legs and tried to pry his hands off, "I don't know! And even if I did, I would never tell scum like you!" Her face began to turn slightly purple.
Fang sighed, this wasn't getting him anywhere. Unfortunately, he could sense that this teenage bimbo was telling the truth. She didn't know and was therefore useless to him. Shoko suddenly passed out and Fang released her. She crumpled onto the floor.
"They must be here somewhere..." Fang commented as he turned around, sniffing the air, "I can still smell them."
Just then, an idea passed through his brain. Perhaps this girl could be useful after all, he thought, the perfect bait to lure those brats out into the open.
So, he pushed her on his shoulders and entered the hallway leading towards the rooms.
"Which room are they in?" He saw a sheet of paper with kanji in it, "The Guestbook. I know EXACTLY where they are!" He aimed his pop gun at Shoko's head and knocked on the door of Amy's room.
***
"Who do you think that is?" Cream asked Amy, after hearing the knock at the door. She set the little Sonic she had been rocking, next to the sleeping Tails and Knuckles. Amy, who had collapsed on the bed in pure exhaustion, lifted her head up.
"It's probably just Shoko...." Amy yawned. "See what she wants..." The pink hedgehog turned over and rested her head on a pillow.
"All right," Cream said going to answer the door. She was stopped by the small whimper of a baby hedgehog. Cream turned back and looked at Sonic who in turn looked back up at her with big watery eyes. He cuddled a teddy bear, which just made him even more adorable and hard to resist. Cream crossed her arms, but Sonic kept up his act to get Cream to hold him, "Oh honestly!" The annoyed rabbit gave up and scooped up the child, "Coming!" Cream shouted as she heard another knock at the door. She turned the knob and pulled the door open. She gasped at what she saw.
"Hand over the brats or this one gets it!" Fang hissed still holding the pop gun to Shoko's head. Cream was in another state of shock. Amy sat up at the sound of Fang's voice. He smiled maliciously down at the infant Sonic. Sonic just smiled back and let out gurgling baby noises. "What are you so happy about squirt? You're toast!" Fang laughed. Sonic let out a shriek of excitement, as babies sometimes do, and threw up his arms in delight. But as Sonic's arms jolted upwards, the teddy bear he held swung up also, whacking Fang right in the face.
His anger kept growing and growing as the young Sonic kept whacking him.Sonic kept saying "Take that mean man!" over and over again. Fang got so annoyed that he punched Sonic in the gut. He then punched Cream in the face, leaing Amy to fend for the kids.
Cream winced in pain and tried to get back up. Baby Sonic coughed a little and started to cry, tears dripping down his tiny face.
"You-you MONSTER!" Amy's voice shook and her eyes narrowed. Fighting her and Cream was one thing, but striking an innocent baby? That was the last straw. With fists clenched, she let out a war cry, surged forward, and dealt Fang a serious blow to the jaw, loosening a few teeth. His body flew backwards, ripping through the delicate paper wall, leaving behind a wide hole. He fell onto a table on the other side, breaking it in two. Amy pulled her hand back, it stung a little, but it was well worth the effort; he deserved it.
She helped up Cream onto the bed and cradled Sonic in her arms, rocking him gently, "Shhh...It's okay sweetie," she cooed.
Cream quickly regained her composure and bent down on the floor beside their fallen friend.
"Is Shoko...?" Amy started to ask as she picked up baby Tails and Knuckles.
"She's just unconscious," Cream diagnosed as she carefully draped Shoko's arm over her shoulder. She tucked Cheese's egg under her other arm and stood up, "C'mon. Let's get out of here while he's KO'd too... We gotta get back to Robotnik's and get these boys back to normal."
Amy told Cream, "Take the kids. I will go ahead and find Eggman's place to find some sort of antidote." Amy ran off with her trademark hammer.
Cream winced at the fallen Fang, before she took out a rope and tied him up, "There, that looks perfect!"
