Hi again! It's time for the continuing saga of Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Drake on Getaway Island! I hope everyone likes the story thus far.

            Yes, Sega owns Sonic and all related characters, and Drake is mine. Blah blah blah.  

            Just another note: I know this chapter is kind of short, but when I first wrote this story it wasn't in chapters. I had to put the break somewhere.

Chapter 5: Tsunami!

            Eggman floated over Getaway Island, grumbling to himself. So far he hadn't had any luck trying to locate any of those mysterious Chaos Medallions. His locator device wouldn't track anything called "Chaos Medallion." According to the machine, they didn't exist. He had slightly convinced himself that the machine containing Proto II had a malfunction. Eggman would've tried to let it out of the tube anyway, but it still looked incomplete, and he might lose the Chaos Emeralds in the process. Anyway, he just decided to float over Getaway Island and cheer himself up by gloating over the trapped Sonic and Tails.

            Eggman was surprised and leaned forward to get a better look. It seemed that the annoying pink hedgehog had also gotten herself stuck on the island. With a secret listening device, he caught a piece of their conversation.

            "…Chaos Medallions," Sonic's voice said.

            Eggman nearly jumped out of his hovering pod when he heard. They knew about the Chaos Medallions??? They had probably been hiding them from him all this time.

            "Tails, you better store that one in a safe place. If you're not going to put it away, give it to me."

            "No! It's mine; I found it!"

            "I'm so glad you're okay. If he had hurt you…"

            "Okay, okay, Amy. Could you please get off of me?"

            Eggman pulled his listening device away from his ear. If they really had the Chaos Medallions, there was only one thing to do. He clicked on a walkie-talkie and gave the order to his robot workers. "Now it's time- turn on the mega-powered flooders!"

            Sonic, Tails, and Amy were arguing about whether Drake was an enemy or not. Sonic and Amy had almost convinced Tails that he shouldn't be trusted.

            Amy looked away from the conversation for a moment to try and think of something else. She gasped. "Look at the water!"

            Sonic and Tails looked over at the sea and their eyes popped out.

            "Oh my God!" Sonic cried. "It's a tsunami!"

            As soon as he said that, the huge wave began coming. Tails quickly grabbed Sonic and lifted him up. Amy grabbed onto Sonic's legs. Tails flew as high as he could. The colossal wave pounded against the island, flooding the entire side. Tails was beginning to get tired. He couldn't fly forever, and especially not with the added weight of Amy. He dropped a little bit.

            "Tails!" Sonic screamed. "Get us back up!"

            It was too late. The top of the wave crashed against Tails, tearing Sonic and Amy away from his grasp. The two hedgehogs twirled in the swirling vortex of water and Tails blackened out, slipping beneath the waves.

            Sonic was surprised to find that he was still alive after all that. He shook some extra water out of his pointed quills. Amy was still tightly clutching to his feet.

            "Oh, thank God!" she cried. "I thought for a while that you were dead, but you were breathing. Then I was afraid that you wouldn't wake up."

            Sonic looked around. "Where's Tails?" he asked.

            "I haven't seen him," Amy told him. "I hope he's okay too. That just came out of nowhere. We all could have died!"

            Sonic stood up. "I don't know, but I've got a funny feeling Eggman's behind this. He might have purposely snagged Tails in order to get his hands on that Chaos Medallion!"

            Amy looked up at him. "The tsunami? You're crazy! How could Eggman have caused a natural disaster like that?"

            Drake stared up at the cloudy sky above him. Now he was grounded for at least three hours because he'd used up all the power in his rocket booster shoes avoiding that tsunami. For a moment he wondered if the island residents, those blue and pink hedgehogs and that little fox had survived. He felt terrible about having to attack them.

            Drake shook himself. He had to focus on his mission- and that was to reclaim the lost Chaos Medallions. As he took a few steps forward, the side of his sneaker bumped into something. Drake's normally half-closed eyes suddenly flew all the way open when he looked down. Tails was lying unconscious at his feet. Slowly, he bent down and picked him up.

            "Poor thing. He probably got hit hard by that tsunami." He looked around and quickly headed to the nearest area that wasn't full of overturned trees.
