Sonic Duos

Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic. If I did, I'd make this a video game.

Author's note: This story takes place after the events of Sonic Heroes. Don't worry, there'll be no spoilers. I didn't even beat the game fully myself…And, don't kill me for the pairings. It doesn't necessarily mean there will be romance between them. Ok, I'm gonna shut up now before I give more away.

Remember, don't read if you are not familiar with the characters from Sonic Heroes.

Sonic Duos

Chapter 1: Dynamic Duos

^Sonic & Rouge story line^

***Our adventure begins with Sonic running wildly through the city and jumping off buildings and such as usual, but instead of freestyle, it was for a different reason. He received a call from the mayor, asking him to come to City Hall pronto.***

"Eh, I bet it's got something to do with Eggman…that creep. He never learns! I beat him so many times…and so have many others! I mean, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Amy, Shadow…countless people. But saving the world's my specialty. It's fun!" Sonic said to himself. He jumped from a tall building and landed on his feet on the sidewalk. He walked up the flight of stairs leading to City Hall and into the mayor's room, lead by security

"Hey Mr. Mayor! So, what did ya want to talk to me about?"

"Greetings Sonic! Have a seat." Sonic sat down on a red chair "Ok, you can come out now!" the Mayor called. Sonic put a puzzled look on his face. A white bat with dark purple wings and a pink and purple hip outfit with matching purple and silver tall boots emerged from behind the desk. This bat was a familiar bat that Sonic encountered a few times. Her name, was Rouge the Bat.

Sonic was so shocked that he nearly fell out of the chair. Rouge didn't look so calm either.

"What in the world is she doing here?" Sonic yelled. Rouge yelled the exact same thing at the exact same time, except said "He" of course.

"You know each other?" the mayor asked, surprised.

"Of course!" Sonic said. "She worked with Eggman and Shadow before!"

"Ugh! When is anybody ever gonna understand it was for my spy work!" Rouge angrily explained.

"You were a government spy?" Sonic asked.

"Yes she was, and still is." The Mayor interrupted. "The best of the best. Anyway, we have received intelligence that Dr. Eggman is trying to take over the world…again. But this time, his scheme seems pretty reasonable. From what we know, he is in space, planning to destroy all of the planets in-between the earth and the sun so the sun shines directly on the earth, melting the north and south poles which would flood the world. The cache? He somehow equipped himself and his space 'city' to be invisible. Nobody has the slightest clue where he is."

"Hmmm…" said Sonic. "That's a pretty well thought out and clever plan…but that doesn't mean I won't be able to stop it!" Sonic said, smirking.

"Well, we figured that our best detective and our all around hero could most likely stop him…together." The mayor said. "So, you guys in for it?"

"If there's treasure…" Rouge said. The mayor told her that there actually was treasure involved: a giant ruby that was needed to deflect the sun's rays on the poles. Eggman had it in possession.

"Then let's go!" Rouge said. "C'mon Sonic!" Deep inside of Rouge, she actually would have done it even if there wasn't any treasure. But, she kept that a secret.

Sonic thought for a moment. "Okay. I guess I'll give it a shot. What do I got to lose?" Sonic and Rouge were ready to walk out the door, but the mayor stopped them.

"By the way, we found something that we thought might help you guys somehow." He threw a blue jewel to Sonic, who caught it and cradled it in his hands. This jewel was known as one of the seven "Chaos Emeralds". Rouge gasped.

"A chaos emerald! It's beautiful! Can I hold on to it? Please? Lemmie hold on to it!" She snatched it out of Sonic's hands.

"Fine! But just don't lose it." Sonic said, glaring.

"Yes, if Eggman gets his hand on it or any of the other seven, it will be almost impossible to defeat him." The mayor remembered. "Well, good luck!" He said, and waved. Sonic and Rouge walked to the door, and exited out of the building, looking and hoping for a way to possibly get to Eggman.

^Tails & Shadow story line^

"Wow!" Tails exclaimed. "I can't believe I found a Chaos emerald, and in the most weird place…in a frog's mouth? I mean come on…" Tails thought for a minute. "Hmm…that frog looked familiar…wait a minute! That was Big the Cat's frog! Well, I don't know where it went so…it's not like I could help…" Tails said to himself. He was heading back to his cabin, holding the yellow chaos emerald,

and decided he should go and find Sonic. Tails broke into a sprint, and, not watching where he was going, collided with a certain black hedgehog by the name of Shadow. He and Tails both toppled over on the ground. Shadow got up.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" he yelled. Tails got up, still holding onto the Chaos Emerald. "Wait a minute, aren't you that fox boy that hangs out with that blue hedgehog?" Shadow said, with a little bit of disgust. Tails looked puzzled, but then remembered that Shadow had lost his memory.

"Yeah, I am." Tails said, simply.

"Well, I'm starting to recover from my amnesia thing that Rouge said I had…I do remember your name…it's…Tails. And that hedgehog is…Sonic!" Shadow said.

"Very good!" Tails said happily, as if he were a teacher.

"I remember you guys being some sort of an enemy…" Shadow added.

"No!" said Tails. "Me and Sonic were trying to stop Eggman from taking over the world, and he had you working for him." Tails corrected. "So that's why you thought of us as enemies."

"You mean that Eggman guy was going to make me take over the world? What a creep! Hmph, I remember working with Rouge and Omega…Eggman was considered an enemy. And…to me…he still is." Tails was happy to hear this.

"So, where were you heading?" Said Tails, trying to make conversation.

"I needed to tell Rouge something about defeating Eggman…don't tell anyone, but she is working with that Sonic guy to try and defeat Eggman again". Shadow explained to him what he new about Eggman's base. Tails didn't know where he found this out, but he didn't care.

"Well I'm looking for Sonic, I have to give him this Chaos Emerald." Shadow's eyes widened. He told him that they couldn't let Eggman get his hands on that, or they'd be doomed.

"Hey, I have an idea!" Tails exclaimed. "Since Sonic and Rouge are working together, and were both looking for them, why don't we go and look together?" Tails said. Shadow thought for a moment.

"Uh…sure." He said. So, Shadow and Tails, a newly formed duo, headed out to find Rouge and Sonic. And maybe end up in a twist to somehow stop Eggman…

^Knuckles & Amy Story line^

Knuckles punched the concrete he sat on with his white, sharp, strong fists. He was on top of a building, and mad. Really mad. He couldn't believe what he just saw. He was so mad, that if he could, he would just take the world he was living in, juggle it in his hands, and throw it into the sun. He was as mad as a bull that saw a red flag. And to make matters worse, a rather annoying pink hedgehog had just shown up, and her high-pitched voice rang through Knuckles' ears. (If he had any).

"Hi Knuckles." The pink hedgehog named Amy said, pouting. Knuckles just sat there, not moving, like a dead fish that failed to flop its way back to shore.

"Hellooooo…" Amy said, putting her hand in his face. Knuckles smacked it away, stood up, and rose his fists. Amy backed away. "Sorry! What's wrong? Do you wanna talk about it?" Knuckles shook his head. "Fine." Amy said. She took a seat next to Knuckles and gazed at the setting sun. after a few minutes silence, Knuckles finally spoke up.

"I'm so MAD!" He said, punching the ground again, accomplishing nothing.

"Well gee, I couldn't tell…" Amy said sarcastically.

"Don't mess." Said Knuckles.

"C'mon, you always keep your cool. You don't have to get that upset." Amy said.

"Well do you have a clue what I saw? No!" Knuckles shouted in her face.

"Well, what did you see?" she asked. Knuckles sighed.

"Well…I saw…this girl that I liked…with another person. I mean, I pretty much thought she felt the same way for…Ah. Never mind. Forget it."

"Hmm…well I'm pretty mad too." Amy said. Knuckles gave her a "Why?" look. "Because of the same reason you are, actually. I saw Sonic with a certain white bat that is now my worst enemy." Amy said. She crossed her arms. "How could Sonic do that?"

Knuckles' eyes widened when the words "certain white bat" came out of her mouth.

"So that's who Rouge was with! I knew it was Sonic! I wasn't sure, but I thought so! When I get my hands on him I'll…"

"Tell him to protect his new girlfriend!" Amy interrupted. "Because she's gonna regret she ever even said 'Hi' to him!" Amy yelled and got up. "That Rouge the bat…her and that Shadow hedgehog and Eggman tried to take over the world before…I remember it."

"First of all," Knuckles said. "Rouge was using Eggman for his treasure. And second of all, Eggman manipulated Shadow. And, he's not dead, like everyone thought. Sonic, Tails, and I ran into him recently actually…"

"Well, anyway, let's get that Rouge and seek our revenge!" Amy yelled. "C'mon, we'll be a pair!" She yelled, raising a hand. Knuckles sighed.

"Fine. Only to get Sonic back for stealing Rouge though…" he said.

"Oh, don't be to hard on my little blue sweetie!" Amy begged. Knuckles rolled his eyes. "Wait a minute…" Amy added. "You like Rouge!" Amy began to taunt. "You like Rouge! "You like Rouge!" Knuckles rolled his eyes again, and he and Amy glided off the building (Knuckles carrying Amy) as Amy's chants rang through the sky.

^Omega & Psi story line^

"Chaos emerald detected on the premises!" E-123 Omega said to no one in particular. Actually, there was nobody around, but that was just the way Omega liked it. After he finished working with Shadow and Rouge, Omega's new quest was to find all of the Chaos Emeralds, for fun. His sensors were getting closer, which meant the Chaos Emerald was close. He turned his head at a 360 angle while he used his jets to help him glide. He suddenly stopped. "Unknown stranger detected near!" He said. "Closing in. Emerald in possession of stranger." Omega, determined to get the emerald, raced up to where he located the stranger and immediately seized the emerald. The stranger, who Omega identified as yet another E-Series robot, pulled the emerald away. The robot looked exactly like Omega, except instead of red, E-122 Psi was dark blue. Omega questioned Psi, and they had everything in common, besides color. Psi explained to Omega that he was after Eggman for trying to use him as a test to see if Eggman's laser worked. Psi escaped, and oblivious Eggman was nearly dead because of the explosion when Psi destroyed the Laser cannon. Eggman unfortunately escaped alive, and when the cannon was destroyed, Psi swiped up the emerald left behind and left the base.

"Idea approached!" Omega said. "You and I can go after Eggman and retrieve Chaos Emeralds."

"Affirmative." Psi said. The two robots glided off into the distance.

^Cream & Charmy Story line^

"Ohhh!" Cream said, shaking her head. "This is not good!". At the moment, Cream the Rabbit was looking for a "pretty" emerald that she once had. She had a feeling it was important, so she wanted to find Amy or Sonic and ask them if they needed it. But right now, she was on the hunt for it. And the number one thing she didn't want was it to get in the wrong hands. She figured Sonic was after Eggman again, and Amy was after Sonic, and so on. So, she might as well give them a little hand. But first, she needed to find that emerald, and Eggman's base. Suddenly, Cream's chao, Cheese, came zooming toward her. "Cheese!" She exclaimed. "Did you find anything?" Cheese shook his head sadly. Cream sighed. "It's okay Cheese. Well, Chocola is still looking, and he'll no where to find us!" Cream said, smiling. Cheese cheered up. Cream and Cheese walked down the sidewalk.

Meanwhile, at the Chaotix Detective Agency…

"Man!" Vector yelled. "We have absolutely no money!" He said, kicking the empty pizza box. Espio and Charmy just watched as they munched on the last section of their pizza. They sat at the two chairs in front of the main desk, while Vector stood up.

"Calm down Vector. Someone will call." Espio said calmly. Vector pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Well, I could go look for something…" Charmy said. Espio and Vector agreed, and Charmy was off in the city buzzing happily. He wasn't watching where he was going, though, and bumped into a certain cream-colored rabbit and her blue chao with a red bow tie. Cream and Charmy both fell to the ground. Charmy got up, and realized that he hit her.

"Oh, sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Charmy said energetically. He reached out a hand to Cream, and she grabbed it and pulled herself up, brushing off her dress.

"That's okay." She said. "I wasn't watching either." Charmy stared into her eyes. He was love struck. "I'm Cream, and this is my chao Cheese." Cream said, curtsying and introducing her chao. "Nice to meet you. What's your name?" Cream added. Charmy just hovered there and stared, dazed. "Um, are you okay?" Cream asked getting a little closer. Charmy snapped out of it.

"Oh, sorry! Yeah. Um, my name's…um…Esp-no, no. not Espio. It's um…Vect-…CHARMY!!! That's it! It's Charmy! Nice um, to meet you Cream. Cream giggled.

"Well, I should get going. I'm looking for something." Cream said.

"Really? Me too!" Charmy said. "But I can't remember what it is at the moment…" He thought hard. "I know! How 'bout I help you look for the thing you're looking for!" Charmy said brightly.

"Okay!" Cream said, delighted she made a new friend. And they set off to find the emerald and stop Eggman.

"You know, you're kinda cute!" Cream said. Charmy fainted.

^Espio & Vector Story line^

Note: This takes place right after the events of Charmy leaving.

The Chaotix detective agency's phone was ringing loudly. Espio and Vector were overjoyed, and Vector rushed to the phone, and tried to act calm and professional.

"Hello, you've reached the Chaotix detective agency! How may we take your money…I-I I MEAN help you?" Vector said, and held the phone to his ear with his right headphone lifted up.

"Hello, this is the mayor speaking." The phone said. Vector's eyes widened. "We would like to assign you for a backup to Sonic the Hedgehog, and Rouge the Bat, just incase. They're planning to stop Eggman, and this time, it really sounds like he has a doomsday plan. So, are you in?" The mayor explained.

"Well…Mr. Mayor, you know we won't do good work without a-"

"5,000 dollars." The mayor interrupted. Vector fainted. Espio picked up the phone.

"I'm sorry mayor. He overreacts too much. So, how much were you talking?" Espio questioned.

"5,000 dollars" he said again. Espio almost fainted, but caught himself.

"YES YES YES! WE'LL DO IT! YOU CAN COUNT ON US! YES! WE'LL DO IT! WE'LL EVEN DESTROY EGGMAN OURSELVES! YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'LL, WE'D BETTER GET GOING RIGHT NOW! BYE!!!" he hung up the phone in a flash, and woke up Vector. They danced around singing "WE'RE GONNA BE RIIIIICH! WE'RE GONNA BE RIIIICH!" and rushed out of the building and went to find Sonic, Rouge, and Charmy.

And thus our adventure begins, with the six duos.
