Chapter 7

Knuckles slid down from the tunnel into the hay of straw."Whoaho!".

Sonic and Sky slid down together as she was on his lap."Are you alright?",Sonic asked letting her down to stand up.

"Yeah,I'm fine",Sky replied softly brushing herself."Sonic,I could of escaped by myself".

"Sky,Robotnik's robotizser is no escape at all.Once you're in there,it's done",Sonic said putting a hand on her shoulder."I won't let that happen to you".

"I thought I was a freedom fighter,part of the team",Sky said crossing her arms.

"Of course,we just needed to get you out of there",Sonic said."Sky,freedom fighters stick together and help each other.That's what me and Knuckles did for you".

Sky sighed and looked at him."You're right...I'm just a begininger...".

"You're gonna be a great hero Sky,"Sonic whispered."I know it".Sky smiled as he smiled back at her.

"Thanks Sonic,I better change my clothes...",Sky was interupted when Sonic cleared his throat.

"Hey,meet me at the dock tonight at 6",Sonic said as Sky looked at him."I'd like to have a talk,if you don't mind".

"Uh....okay...",Sky said a little confused to know what it was about."See you later".She walked away to see Knuckles and Tails working on a project.

Sonic sighed in a in love way,and sat on the dock.Meanwhile,Sky was checking out what was going on with the others.

"Hey Sky!,Check this out!",Knuckles said as Tails tried to screw something on one of the wheels."You alright buddy?".

Tails groaned on and on again,as he tried to use the screwdriver to fix one of the tires."Yeah..don't worry..".His voice began weaker as he tried once again."I got it all under controll...".

Sky giggled as Tails fell backwards."What is it Knuckles?".

"It's like a car mostly....I'm not really done with it yet",Knuckles said dusting off one of the seats."I call it....THE SPEEDY ZONE!".

Sky's eyes blinked as the sight of how he said the same."The speedy zone?".

"Ok...not much clever..",Knuckles replied as Tails banged on one of the wheels."But I'll come up with something".

"Hey Sky..",Tails said weakly huffing and puffing."Wanna play some hockey?".

"Sure Tails,let me get my stick",Sky replied going to her hut.Sky liked sports like Tails and Sonic did.Normally once in a while,they would play dirt hockey together.

Meanwhile,Shadow was sitting on his roof of his hut watching Sonic walk slow.'Just my luck..'he thought.

"Hey Sonic,"Shadow said as Sonic looked up at him."Why aren't you hanging out with Sky?".

"She's spending time on her own",Sonic replied a little annoyed."Don't say I like her either..".

"Now why would I say that?",Shadow said with a small evil chuckle."Of course...you two are best friends...which will stay that way right?".

"Yeah,it's gonna stay that way",Sonic repeated as he put a hand on his hip."And what are you doing out? Normally,you would be out at night".

"Well I'm not tired,do you mind?",Shadow asked evily."My my Sonic,you've been tired lately.Why don't I show Sky around once in a while?".

"No..you don't have to",Sonic said."I can do it,besides,she's used to me".

Shadow climbed down off the roof,and turned to Sonic."Tails showed her how to play dirt hockey,why are you the only one who can show her around?".

"Uh....",Sonic said straching his head a little confused."I guess so...".

"That settles it then,I'll show her around this afternoon".

"Thanks...",Sonic mumbled as he watched Shadow walk away slowly."Suddenly,he can't be trusted".

Shadow turned around and saw Sonic walk down the trail.He snuck behind a tree,and held his commutcator watch to his mouth.

"Everyone is going well Dr.Robotnik",Shadow said to the watch."Sky is doing well,but Sonic is being very doubtful".

"Is Rouge making her way to that red hedgehog?",Dr.Robotnik's voice was heard looking at a screen.

"I uh...don't know sire",Shadow replied slowly."I haven't seen her since that blue hedgehog brought her back".

"Well go find him! I can't keep this up ANY longer Shadow! I need that female hedgehog as a robot! She'll make a great plan to destroy Sonic Hedgehog and Knothole forever!".

"You think I don't want her destroyed? That girl is making everyone feel mushy...including Sonic!",Shadow said angerily.

"That won't be for long,Shadow my friend",Robotnik replied trying to make him feel better.It seemed he had a bigger idea in his mind.."It won't be for long".

Shadow chuckled as Robotnik laughed like he always would for being evil."Yes...". *

Rouge looked around her hut and saw Sky playing with Tails.

Tails hit one of the pucks,and Sky's stick guarded it from the goal."You're getting better at this Sky".

"I owe it all to you",Sky said huffing and puffing."Hey Tails,Sonic's been acting strange lately".

"What do you mean?",Tails asked.

"Well...he thinks I can't take care of myself",Sky replied with a sigh."Before I was robotized,he acted like I was going to die or something".

"Getting robotized is a big deal",Tails said."That's what happened to Uncle Chuck,but Rose invented a invention to change him for good...when we thought we lost Robotnik".

"I could of escaped myself!".

"Yeah you could,but not when you're in the robotizser".

"Is this what he's trying to do? Destroy Knothole?",Sky asked.

"Pretty much Sonic",Tails replied sadly."If he's gone,then we're doomed".

Rouge walked up to them and turned to Sky."Hey girl! What's up? Heard ya almost got robotisied!".

"Uh...yeah...",Sky said her voice cracking."Sonic and Knuckles saved me".

"So what's up Rouge?",Tails asked looking at her."Why aren't you with Knuckles?".

"Know what?",Rouge asked."I can't find him...".She put her arm around Sky's shoulder."Have you seen him?".

As Sky looked around,she saw Knuckles sitting on the steps of his hut.It looked like he was playing with a small computer.

"There he is".

Rouge didn't say a word,but walk slowly up near his steps."Robotnik will be so proud of me when I get done..". ***************

Shadow knocked on Sky's door,and she opened it."Oh hey Shadow...Where's Sonic?".

"Sonic? Eh..",Shadow said trying to make a excuse."He had to run a few erins..you don't mind do you?".

"Um..I guess not,"Sky said closing the door behind her."Ready?".Shadow handed her a arm to hold,and walked down her steps.

'Robotnik will be so proud of me when I get done',He thought. ~~*~*~**~*~
