I do not own all the rights of Sonic or anything Sega-related.

The next morning, as the sun crept up above the mountains ever so slowly, Sonic stood outside of his room, on the balcony. He gazed at the sun for a while and starting to wonder what would be the outcome of all this. "I just hope that all goes well. I haven't heard anything from Robotnik. That's really odd! He would always seem to cause havoc everyday. I wonder what he's plotting?" Sonic thought.
He looked around the sky and saw no sign of Robotnik's vessel. Now he got really worried. "Could he be somewhere else, destroying everything, all under my nose?!"
Sonic grew more concern, and thought that it might be false. If Robotnik were to be destroying a particular city, news would be spreading around. So he decided to skip the subject. Then the phone rang inside. Sonic went back in and picked it up. "Hello?" he asked.
"Hey there, Sonic? You awake?" Knuckles replied.
Sonic gave a disgusted look, "Of course I am, knucklehead. Why would I be talking to you then!" he thought to himself.
"Yeah, dude. What did you call for?"
"Have you noticed something?" Knuckles questioned.
"Noticed what?"
"Eggman! Where could he be? He hasn't shown his face for a while now! What could he be doing?"
"I was wondering the same thing," Sonic replied. "But he must be somewhere in Station Square, plotting his next move. We have to be our toes if he were to show his ugly self."
"Yeah, I know. Has Tails be notified about this? Shadow? Rouge? Big?"
"Not yet, Knux. Could you do that for me? I have things to attend to this afternoon."
"Is it with Amy?" Knuckles said in disgust.
"Yes, I am joining up with her for lunch today. So I am pretty busy at the moment."
"Oh, ok then. But only for just this once. After this, you find someone else to do your objectives. I ain't no slave boy, ya hear?!"
"Yeah, I hear ya. Then it is settled. Gotta go. Remember to inform them!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Knuckles concluded, as he hung up the phone.
Sonic hung up the phone, then went to go and take a shower.

As for Robotnik, he was hiding behind the mountain range, not to be seen. He was still in the main deck, getting the whole darn contraption he made into position. "Man, this thing is soooooooo dang heavy!" he uttered, as he tried to bring it towards the next 2 floors.
As he headed towards the stairs, he thought, "Why didn't I install an elevator in this ship?"

I didn't get much reviews for this story, but I still press on, but now with even smaller chapters, meaning more and more chapters. But expect more to come here.
