Chapter III
The little blue plane finally touched down in the Mystic Ruins where Eggman's base lay. Gingerly stepping out of the plane Knuckles examined his surroundings.
"Ok, let's go." he said simply, hardly waiting for Tails to get out of the plane.
"Wait!" the orange fox said trying to haul something out of the plane.
Knuckles sighed and waited for the younger boy to catch up. "Now?" he asked.
"We can go now." said Tails adjusting the straps on his backpack.
"What'cha got in there anyway?" the crimson echidna asked, wondering why he was so curious.
"Hmm... some snacks, and.. My survival kit!" he said proudly.
"Survival kit?" Knuckles repeated. "We don't need that, you got me here." he said pointing to himself and smiling.
"Uh huh..." Tails said slowly. "Oh look! The door!" he said pointing to the black electric tunnel.
"Huh? Oh." he said eyeing the entrance.
They both stepped in and began the long walk to the interior of the 'secret' base.
Eggman meanwhile was of course working on his latest evil plot when Knuckles and Tails arrived for the interrogation.
"Ok, Eggman... out with it! What the hell did you do to the people in Station Square?" asked Knuckles angrily.
Dr. Eggman tried to look innocent. "What are you talking about? I've done nothing." he said and scribbled on some blueprints.
"How do we know he's telling the truth?" whispered Tails.
"Hmm..." Knuckles though for a moment and then snatched the blueprints away.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" he yelled.
Tails and Knuckles read what was there so far and it looked nothing like the robot Sonic had spotted. He handed it back with another question.
"So you didn't create a Robot to freeze time in Station Square?" asked Tails.
"That's a pretty good idea fox boy, but NO now leave! Before I call out a much worse robot." he snarled and continued scribbling.
"Hm.. I'm pretty good at sensing honesty..." said Knuckles "I think... he may be telling the truth. We better go..." he said and began to exit the room.
"Hold it!" cried Eggman causing them to freeze. "If you meet this other 'bad guy' tell him there's only one robotics expert!"
They nodded and quickly made their way out of the base and back to the Tornado. They flew back to Station Square to tell the others the news.
But when they arrived back they couldn't find anyone.
"Hey! Where did everyone go?" asked Tails worried they may be frozen somewhere or worse.
Knuckles sniffed the air. "They're still here." he concluded. "I'll find 'em." he left the hotel and looked through some stores until he arrived at the shopping mall.
"Are they in there?" asked Tails.
"Yes, I'm sure of it." the doors were unlocked so both him and Tails walked right in. The mall was very empty except for a few frozen people caught up in their shopping.
Tails perked up his ears. "I hear them!" he took off running and spotted amy, rouge and Sonic in the food court.
Knuckles preferred to walk to have time to think up a lecture for them.
"Hey you guys!" yelled Tails causing them to look up.
"Hey Tails!" said Sonic, he looked a lot better. But maybe it was the fact he had a plate of chili-dogs in front of him.
"Why did you guys leave?" asked Knuckles when he caught up with them. "It's dangerous! That, thing could've come back."
"We're sorry..." Amy apologized and bowed. "It's just that... me and Sonic were kinda out of food so..."
"The mall was open." said Rouge and happily munched on some potato chips.
Knuckles was about to say something else when she shoved another bag in his face. "Eat." she commanded. Defeated, the red echidna opened his up and began to eat them.
"So how'd it go?" asked Sonic finishing up on his plate.
"Well, it isn't Eggman." said Tails.
"Then who could it be..." wondered Sonic but soon spotted an envelope addressed to them on the table next to theirs. "What...?" he opened it up and began reading it.
It read:
The answers you seek will be revealed to you soon.
"Hey! Look at this!" he said and passed it on.
After reading it Amy asked. "What is this? What answers?"
"Well I think whoever wrote this... has something to do with the weird stuff." said Sonic and added. "Keep on your guard everyone!"
"Knuckles... get me some pickles please..." whined Rouge. "And cookies."
"Sure." he replied. "I could use the walk." The mall was connected to a grocery store which was also open. he grabbed the items without paying and made his way back. "We better fix this soon..." he said himself
Meanwhile Amy had grabbed Tails and Sonic and proceeded to try on some clothes in her favorite store.
"How does this one look?" she came out of the dressing room wearing blue jean shorts and a white shirt with a pink lettered phrase which read 'I'm cute!'.
"Uh... very nice." said Sonic kinda wishing he wasn't caught in the fashion show.
After a few more outfits she decided she had tortured them enough and let them go off and do their own thing. With nobody operating the mall it stayed open as long as they wanted it to.
Sonic had grabbed a brand-new CD Walkman and some tunes to pass the time in the silent mall.
But unbeknownst to him something lurked into the mall and left another letter.
