Thanks Sophia for the review. Don't worry, Dingo is in there. He'll pop up every now and then. Anyway, here's aNew chapter people. Enjoy and Please R&R.
Meanwhile,In the city of Robotropolice, inside an underground base that was home to Sonic, Manic, and Sonia the Hedgehog, music was already playing. Loud music at that.
In the living room of their base, the three hedgehogs played away, just jamming and rocking out. Manic was on his drum set, playing a hard but steady beat, while Sonia was sitting at her keyboard, playing a solo. Sonic played on his guitar, playing fast rock style music. There were no lyrics; they were just playing for the sake of having fun.
Sonic started moving about wildly as he flew into a solo of his own. Manic and Sonia smiled as they watched their brother. They continued to play on for a while, just enjoying themselves.
Outside the base entrance, a young fox ran up to the door. Though only eight years old,Miles "Tails" Prowerwas very smart, and many times, he and Sonic proved to be the brains whenever the group had an encounter with Robotnik's forces. Ashe approached, he heard the blaring of the music on the other side. Helost his footing once or twice asthe ground wasshaking from the vibrations, like a car's stereo on the highway.
"The guys must be getting ready for another concert," he thought.
He knocked anyway, cause what he had to say was urgent.
Sonia herd the door first,; even above all the noise, she had the best hearing. She stopped playing, and motioned to Manic to do the same. Manic took his hands way from the snare and took his foot of the pedal, killing the beat. But sonic kept playing, too much intohis soloto notice much else.
"Sonic…!"
Sonia yelled trying to get his attention.
"Hey Bro!" Manic yelled. Sonic just kept playing, jumping around wildly, as if he was in a heavy metal band.
Annoyed, Sonia walked over and unplugged the guitar from the amp. Sonic kept jamming away for a few seconds before he noticed that there was no more sound.
He looked up, confused, and then noticed Sonia and Manic staring at him, Sonia swinging the guitar plug around in her hand.
"Uh…what's up guys?" he said sheepishly.
Manic shakes his head. Sonia gives him a stern expression.
"Now that your little fantasy rock session's over, someone's knocking at our door."
Sonic put down his guitar and walked over to the door. He opened it to find Tails standing there, waiting patiently.
"Hey little buddy." Sonic said with a smile.
Tails returned the smile. "Hey Sonic!"
Manic and Sonia walked up behind their brother.
"What's up Tails?" They asked almost at the same time.
Tails wasted no time.
"Guys, I have something important to tell you!"
"What?"
"I was told to tell you guys that we've discovered another big plan of Robotnik's!"
"What kind of Plan?" Manic asked.
"Well...I'm not really sure. I just got word from one of the other Freedom Fighter groups near Robotnik's main base."
Sonic and his siblings glanced at each other, wondering what to make of it.
"Wait, Sonic said, "Ain't thatSally's group?"
Tails nodded.
"Good Old Sally. Her group always brings in the good stuff."
"Hey bro," Manic said, "didn't you used to be in her group before we came together?"
Before Sonic could reply, Sonia came up with an idea.
"Come on, I'll bet we can get something if we hack into Robotnik's data base."
Five minutes later, they were all standing around Sonia's laptop computer, looking through various files, all labeled Secret operations.
As they browsed the files, Sonia started shaking her head.
"These are all old projects. Stuff that we dealt with before."
Tails stared at the moniter.
"But I know that he's working on something. Why would something old be reported?" Tails asked, confused.
"Maybe Robotnik is running low on ideas." Manic said, sarcastically.
As Sonia continued to browse, she suddenly came on an unlabeled file.
"That's strange,"
"What?" Sonic asked.
"Well, this file isn't labeled. It's like it's just there."
"Well, click on it and let's see what's on it."
Sonia opened the file, and instantly, all this information appeared on the screen, along with various pictures. One of these pictures was the circular device that was Dr. Robotnik's inter-dimensional portal.
The three hedgehogs and Tails stared at the screen, Sonia reading off some of the key info.
"Project gateway. Plans to develop a fully functional inter dimensional device, capable of reaching other universes and dimensions different from our own."
While everyone else was silent, she skipped down a few lines.
"Early tests proved the device operational, and recent test succeeded in reaching opposite dimension."
Everyone soaked up the information. Tails was perhaps the most supprised.
"This must be what was reported." Tails said.
"Sounds new to me." Sonic replied.
"So…what exactly does it mean?"
Everyone stared at Manic for a moment. He was clearly lost on this.
"It means that Robotnik and his robots have made a device that can make contact with other dimensions and worlds."
Manic's expression still showed that he didn't get it. Sonia sighed.
"It means that he has the ability to take thinks from other dimensions and bring them to this world."
Manic's mind started to clear a little, but not enough.
"Okay, and this means…"
"It means that it would be very bad if Robotnik were to find the right kind of weapon."
"Oh."
There wasmore silence among them. But only for a moment.
"I say we go figure out what Robotnik's cooking up this time." Sonic said. "Come on."
With that, he darted out the door in a flash, nearly blowing Tails over.
Sonia and Manic shook their heads.
"He could at least wait to hear what we have to say."
"You know him. If it involves one of Robotnik's crazy plots, he's the first to be ready for it."
Sonia sighed. "Then I guess we'd better go after him. Find out about this ourselves."
The two hedgehogs agreed, then both got up and darted out the door. Tails just started spinning his twin tails, like a propeller, until he was hovering off the ground. Then he flew out the door after his friends.
