Chapter eleven! This is so cool! The story is pretty close to being completed! I think I'm going to write about three more chapters, maybe more. I really don't know. Oh well, I don't own Sonic or any Sonic characters. But I do own Tye, Kara, Nickel, Gen, Page and Kage. Read and review! 3 reviews and I'll post chapter 12!
Chapter Eleven: More Family Reunions!
Gen, Cream, Page and Kage crawled through the air vent. Page, Kage, and Gen were having no problems crawling through the vent, but Cream was. She was just a little too big to be doing things like this. Gen was leading, followed by Kage, Page then Cream. Kage stopped, as the fur on the back of his neck stood up.
" Do you guys feel that?" he asked.
" I don't," Cream whispered.
" Neither do I," Gen stated.
" I do," Page said.
" What do you feel Page?"
" I don't know, but what ever it is, there is a lot of it Kage."
Kage nodded in agreement, " that's what I feel too."
They sat there in silence as Cream began to think, then the fur on the back of her neck stood up too.
" I feel it now too, something is very familiar about this energy signature."
Gen just stared at them, confused.
" I got it! It's the Chaos Emeralds, that would explain why Gen can't feel it," Cream stated.
The kids just stared at her questioningly.
" Okay, Page and Kage, both of your fathers can use the Chaos Emeralds for different things. First off, they can both use Chaos Control, which you two have seen them do. Then, they can use it to attack too, Page your father uses Chaos Spear and Kage your father uses Sonic Wind. Finally, they can both turn into their super forms, AKA Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow. I'm not surprised that you two can feel the energy, since it is probably in your bloodline. Your mother's have been trying to learn how to use the chaos energy too."
" Then why can you feel it Auntie Cream and I can't?" Gen asked.
" When I was younger, I was exposed to the Chaos Emeralds, as was Tails. Tails can use the Chaos Emeralds to attack too, Tail Gate. I can't, but I guess being exposed to Tails helped me be able to find the emeralds. Gen, the reason you can't since the Chaos Emeralds like us is because you've never really been exposed to them. Your power, like both your parents, lies in the Master Emerald. It's the only explanation I can think of."
" Then one of you should lead the way," Gen stated.
" Actually, I can feel the energy growing in the way you were headed. You sure you can't feel the it?" Page questioned.
" I don't feel what you guys feel, but I do feel something very strong pulling me in that direction."
" Just keep going the way you were going Gen. Page and Kage you follow her, I'm going in a different direction," Cream whispered.
A horrified look crossed their faces.
"Why? You can't leave us alone," Kage said hastily.
" Something stronger than the Chaos Emeralds is pulling me in a different direction. I'm going to give you kids the rings, but I am going to take some," she said reaching into the bag, taking five rings.
She quickly stuffed them into her pocket and smiled at them, " you'll be fine. Just follow Gen and if you get into trouble, just yell. I have a feeling your parents are nearby."
" Really?" they asked eagerly.
She just nodded and turned around, " be safe."
They nodded and continued to follow Gen, " you too."
Omega fired a bullet into the last robot guard. It fell over and blew up. Gamma and Emerl walked over to him.
" Targets destroyed," Emerl said blandly.
" Beginning self repair," Gamma stated.
" Affirmative," Omega said.
All three robots began to repair themselves. Sonic, Amy, Shadow, Huri, Rouge, Knuckles, and Tails were walking down a very long hallway. Rouge was leading them to the Chaos Emeralds. Tails was falling behind. His wounds were bleeding pretty badly. He felt his knees give way and fell to the floor, clutching his side in pain.
" Tails, are you okay?" Huri exclaimed, rushing to his side.
The others were by him a second later and helped him lean against the wall. He was breathing heavily, and he was starting to get pale.
" I'll live, but I don't think I can go on."
" Don't say that, we'll help you to your feet," Sonic said.
" Don't bother, even if I could continue I'd only be slowing you guys down. You need to go on ahead without me; you can come back for me later. I don't mind."
" He's right," Rouge said, looking downwards.
" Yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, we should leave him behind and come back for him later," Knuckles agreed.
Shadow and Huri nodded slowly, even Amy agreed. Sonic just looked at his friend in the eyes and let a small sigh escape his lips.
" Are you sure you want us to leave you behind?"
" Yeah, positive."
" Then we will, Rouge continue on."
Rouge nodded and continued to run down the hallway. They turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. A smile crossed his lips as he sat there, then he pushed himself up.
" I knew you were following us."
Sonic, Shadow, Rouge, Knuckles, Huri and Amy were running down the hallway.
" Sense that?" Sonic asked.
" Yep," Shadow said, " Chaos Emeralds."
" We are very close, good job Rouge," Amy said.
" Tell me that after we have the emeralds," Rouge stated as she stopped in front of a room.
The doors were huge; Sonic just looked at Knuckles. Knuckles grinned, getting the message. He thrusted his fist forward and broke them down. They all walked inside, and gasped. In the middle of the room was a machine, like the Eclipse Cannon it housed all seven Chaos Emeralds.
" I didn't think they were capable of such machinery," Rouge whispered under her breath.
" We weren't, but Professor Gerald Robotnic was," Tye stated as he flew down.
" All we had to do was adjust it to fulfil our needs. Instead of destroying the planet, the blast will only destroy those that have a genetic abnormality of some sort," Kara said as she landed by him.
" We won't let you do this," Shadow growled.
Everyone nodded in agreement. About one hundred robot guards appeared, circling them.
" You don't have any choice in the matter," Tye stated.
He raised his arm, and the robots began to attack Sonic, Shadow, Huri and Amy. Knuckles growled as he ran at Tye.
" Yes we do!" he yelled, getting ready to punch Tye.
Rouge nodded and ran at her mother, " we will stop you!"
Unknown to them, the Chaos Emeralds began to pulsate. Omega, Gamma and Emerl flexed their joints as they finished repairing themselves. The Master Emerald began to pulsate. They looked at the Master Emerald as Tikal appeared.
Emerl looked at her, " Tikal, what reason do you have for being here?"
" You must listen, take the Master Emerald to the Chaos Emeralds. You must hurry!"
Omega walked over to the Master Emerald and picked it up, " will comply."
Tikal disappeared as they switched to hover-mode. They flew off towards the base. Since Omega had a Chaos Emerald detector in him, they would have no problem finding them.
Tails looked into Nickel's eyes.
" Glad you noticed my presence, unlike your friends."
" Yeah well, my hearing is very sensitive."
" Good for you, I came to finish you off."
" Sorry to tell you, but that isn't going to happen. I have someone I promised I'd get back too, and I intend on keeping that promise."
Tails got into a fighting stance, as Nickel did the same. Gen, Page and Kage were crawling faster in the vent. Gen had said that it wasn't much further up, so they were hurrying. Her ears twitched as they stopped.
" Why are we stopping?" Page asked.
" Don't you hear that?"
They shook their heads no.
" Listen, it sounds like a battle."
The two boys pressed their ears down to the metal, and sure enough they heard it too.
" You think it's them?" Kage questioned.
" I do, and it's coming from the direction I sensed we need to go."
" Then let us hurry," Page said as they started crawling again.
The noise increased as they crawled, so they unconsciously crawled faster. Light could faintly be seen up ahead. Gen stopped again, at the cover. She looked down and saw their parents fighting with robots, and two bats.
" Down there!" she pointed out.
Amy stabbed a robot in the stomach with the handle of her hammer, and used that robot to smash the one next to it. A shadow lurked over her, baring its talons.
" Amy! Watch out!" Sonic yelled in horror.
He was surrounded by robots, so he could do nothing to help her. Amy felt the skin on her back being sliced opened, she screamed in pain as she dropped her hammer. It skidded only a few inches away from her hand. Three deep scratches were on her back, bleeding pretty badly. The talons were raised again, ready to deal the final blow. Amy reached for her hammer, not being able to push herself up or stretch her arm out very far.
" AMY!" Sonic yelled as the claws came down.
" Mom!"
Amy turned her head in time to see the robot being smashed into the ground. Kage stood over the pieces for a second, then rushed to her side.
" Mom are you okay?"
" Amy, areā¦.Kage?" Sonic yelled in shock.
" Hi dad!"
Huri turned her head at Sonic's surprised yell.
A double-sided spear pierced a robot next to her.
" You should be more careful mom," Page said, pulling his spear out of the robot.
Knuckles was sent into a wall by Tye. He slowly opened one eye, and saw Gen shooting arrows at robots.
" Gen, no," he whispered.
Rouge kicked her mother, who blocked.
" Seems the calvary has arrived," Kara stated.
" What do you mean?" Rouge asked.
Kara motioned her hand over to the kids, " I do believe the girl is Genesis. Am I correct?"
Rouge looked in horror as she saw her daughter, handing something to Amy. Kara took that opportunity to kick Rouge in the face, sending her into a rock column. Rouge screamed in pain as she felt one of her wings break.
" Rouge!" Knuckles yelled as he heard her scream.
" Kara, there is no use in purifying her anymore! Just kill her!" Tye barked.
Amy took the ring gratefully, and clutched it in her hand. Soon, the cuts on her back healed and she stood up.
" Thank you Gen," Amy said.
Gen nodded, and took to the air again, shooting robots with her arrows. She looked towards her parents and saw her father fighting Tye in a corner. They were throwing punches and kicks every chance they got. Her gaze wandered over to her mother, who was on the ground. Another female bat standing over her with a small knife in her hand.
" Mom! Look out! She has a knife!"
Gen's face had a look of pure horror on it, and she felt as if she was so close to tears. She quickly loaded an arrow and took aim.
" Please, don't miss," she whispered as she released it.
