Chapter 2: Counter-Attack.
Sonic scowled. Typical. HE had to sit up here on this stupid island. All alone. Grr... If he ever got out of this, he was going to sellotape everyone who knew about this shut. With this thought in mind, he sat down cautiously; preparing him self for the long wait that stretched ahead of him. The VERY long wait. The VERY VERY long wait. He sighed. Didn't he have anything better to think?
Tails was in a slight panic as he paced Amy's bright pink flat. He flopped down onto her ruby sofa. 'I guess we can storm the base tomorrow. That is what we agreed on...' he sighed. Then he froze. "How I am supposed to change?!?!" He screeched, appalled.
Amy frowned. She was renting a hotel room like Knuckles, to be near tails. 'This must be a dream...' She pinched herself viciously on her wrist, yelping in pain as she squeezed her skin-'his skin', she reminded herself. She sighed, and exited the hotel room onto the balcony, which the room led off onto, and looked down at the sunbathers next to the pool below, and after that out to Emerald Coast beach. She went back indoors, sighing.
Knuckles scowled and skipped another rock out over the gleaming blue waves, and settled more comfortably into the pale sand of Emerald Coast. This had to be the worst day ever. First he swaps places with a-a-an idiot, and then that-that-idiot had to guard his emerald. He scowled, and skipped his next rock so viciously it went out of sight-and in the ocean, that's very far.
In an hour, as they had planned, they all (Except sonic, who was using a walkie-talkie) met up in Amy's hotel room. "Alright, we need a plan to buy us time to look for the cure. So, we need a-" Tails was interrupted by Amy.
"A diversion. So, which one of us will make the distraction?" they all considered for a minute. Then Amy said- "Lets vote. We'll make it a secret ballot, Tails can collect the votes." A second of hasty scribbling, a short burst of static from the radio, and- "Well, the lucky person is-" Tails turned to face them. "-Amy. We'll meet here again at six thirty am, including Sonic." They all stood up and exited, Amy to the balcony once more.
They all gathered at the flat at six thirty, looking tired. Sonic repeated the plan that he heard yesterday-"So Amy goes in first, and creates a diversion, then we go in and try to find this remedy." He shook his head. "That is NEVER gonna work!" "Well, it's all we have!" Knuckles shot back. "So lets just do it, okay?" Amy sighed. 'This plan IS insane. But I guess it's the best we have...'
Amy entered the base, and started activating all the alarms to lead them to this side of the base. 'Perfect, now they'll all come here and leave the other side free!' She gloated inside her head gleefully. She wasn't so cocky when around seventy robots appeared and charged at her. 'Didn't calculate on them coming over and attacking me' she thought briefly, before diving headfirst into a intense battle.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles made their way through to the room where the ray still sat, broken. They hunted the room, discovering nothing, and progressed to the next room. 'This sounded so easy....' Thought Tails, unaware that he had just gone father away than the solution. He said aloud "Lets split up. We're sure to cover more ground that way." The others nodded, and split up.
Sonic frowned as he passed the door with the broken ray in it. 'Something isn't right here.' He thought as he entered the room. He had another look around, but found nothing. With a sigh, he leaned against the ray. With a snap, a small, unnoticeable panel spun around and slid into the side, revealing a piece of paper and a magazine. The piece of paper told him the cure-more interestingly, he discovered that Eggman was subscribed to the Caravan Club Magazine. He grabbed the cure but not the magazine (He didn't care about caravans), and took off, grabbing Amy on the way out, and found the others waiting for him, each holding a different cure, and indeed, Amy was holding TWO cures...
The others had searched the entire base, and had come to the conclusion that there were FOUR cures- three fakes, one genuine. They knew it was only four, because tails had found a file saying so. Only thing was, who would be the guinea pig? Who was the most desperate person in the group? Well, that's a no-brainer, really...
"Alright, it'll take a day per cure, with a day to get over any side- effects, which means it'll take a minimum of two, and a maximum of 9-" "You mean eight!" Sonic interrupted Tails. "No, I'm NOT making any cures today!" "Oh fine!" They departed in a huff, Tails marching off to Amy's disgusting pink flat (A/N: Sorry to any pink lovers, its my least favourite colour usually), Amy off to the balcony, Sonic to the island, and Knuckles to his room.
THE NEXT DAY-
Sonic woke up, and after a brief breakfast, settled down to what promised to be a boring day. But after around ten minutes he went mad, running around screaming, suffering from social withdrawal. In the end, he settled back down, and somehow succeeded in not screaming (Which is good, 'cause he might have shattered the windows of passing jets...)
Amy woke up yawning, and decided to skip breakfast to avoid slipping up, and went into town, attempting to resist the urge to go shopping. In the end, she went food shopping, which helped, and she also got to eat lots of yummy dog biscuits, which was an excellent bonus. After that, she just wandered round.
Tails woke up in Amy's bright pink bed and grimaced, as if the bright pink was chocking him. He decided to go out. 'No way am I going to sit in a pink bedroom all day... No way." He sighed, and went to find a spot outside where he could make the first reversoroo ray.
Knuckles scowled as he woke up, and after an unpleasant breakfast of scowling at everyone, he trudged off to Emerald Coast, for another exhilarating day of skipping rocks. 'Oh, the sheer joy...' He thought after his forty-second rock had fallen in after only a few centimetres. His next one became the forty-third.
