Note #5: Recap:

"Yeah, I'm fine," Manic reassured. "Man, I hate that whip!"

"Let's add it to the list," Sonic remarked.

"I know I ask this every day, but why is it that we are the ones who are cursed like this?" Manic shouted out.

"Because our lives were the ones that were chosen to be ruined," Sonic remarked with a dark glare. "But at least we have each other," he smiled.

"Yeah, you're right."

"But you look like a teenaged human!"

"I know. You see, when a prockter wants to stop aging their body, they stay with that body for the rest of their lives."

Sonia looked like she was going to faint. She just knew this was going to be the adventure of her life.

Chapter 4

Sena's Base: Sena's Quarters

"Miss Sena."

Inside Sena's base, an orange hedgehog and a prockter were inside Sena's quarters. Sena had recently commanded that Jorden took look-out duty. He didn't want to, but Sena forced him to.

"What?" she asked.

"I have some footage you might want to see," he answered, placing a disk into the main computer.

It showed some footage of two human-like creatures battling some SWAT-Bots. The one dressed in black was kicking them, defeating them with just one kick. The other was female, and she was battling with an umbrella.

"No," she whispered to herself, "It can't be!" She then pounded her fist on the floor (she was sitting on the floor), and shouted, "I thought I was finally rid of those two!"

Jorden was confused. He didn't know Sena already knew these two. "You know them?"

"Know them? Ha! They're my brother and sister!"

"What?"

"Not only that, we're triplets!"

Now Jorden was really confused. Sena had a brother and sister? And they were triplets?

"I don't have the time nor the patience to deal with them! Take Sonic and take them down!"

Jorden didn't budge. Why should he do something that would benefit her after what she has done to him?

"TODAY!" Sena yelled so loud, it almost made Jorden deaf.

He looked down, mad. He didn't want to, but when Sena went to that volume, there was no use arguing with her. He snarled, and then left.

Once Jorden was out of sight, Sena walked back to where the footage was playing. "You won't win this time!" she said. "There is no way you can stop me with my new plan!"

Mystic Ruins

"Done."

For the past few weeks, Tails had been busy in the Mystic Ruins for quite some time. No one quite knew what he was working on, but you could tell he was real busy by hearing all the construction outside.

What Tails was working on was a new combat walker, which could transform into a car, a plane, a jet, a boat, and just about everything else he could think of. Why he was not sure, his favorite past time was building things.

Amy always told Tails that he should get out into "the real world" as she called it, but Tails always said thanks, but no thanks.

Everyone at school thought Tails was a big geek because he loved building things, but he always ignored them. Or at least tried to. He just wanted to have something exciting to happen to him.

My life is so boring, he thought.

Station Square

"You ready?"

In order to help her for the upcoming battle with Sena, Ketru had suggested that he trained Sonia. She and Ketru were in her backyard.

"As I'll ever be," she answered.

"Okay, then. First test, can you catch these?" he said, levitating a few plates with his mind and throwing them at her.

"Sure I can! Watch this!" she said proudly, jumping in the air to catch them, but they bounced off her hand, hit the ground, and shattered.

"Uhhhhhhhh, let's try that again," she said, emberassed.

"It's okay. I don't expect you to get it right the first time as soon as this," he said, throwing some more plates. Once again, she missed.

Ten Minutes later

"I think Aleena's going to notice we've been using her plates," Ketru said, looking at all the broken plates.

"Just one more, please? I know I'll catch it!" Sonia begged. She was determined to go after Sena and rescue her brothers, yet she couldn't catch on plate.

I take back what I said earlier, Ketru thought.

Sena's Base: Sonic and Manic's cell

Manic was so bored.

Well, boredem was something both he and Sonic had developed a lot over the years. Until they were nine the only time they had left the cell was to go and get tortured.

He hated thinking about his childhood. Besides Sonic, nothing good came out of it. Well, unless you count pain, torture, pain, anger, fury, oh, and pain.

Jorden had come for Sonic, saying Sena had requested him to go on a mission. Without Sonic here to talk to, all Manic could really do was think.

Manic didn't even find thinking amusing. The only two things there WERE to think about was how unfair his life is and the longing for freedom.

Nope, nothing to think about at all.

A/N: All for now!

Note #7: I'm running out of ideas! Please help!

See ya!
