Chapter 4

Knuckles arrived back at Eggman's base 15 minutes later, determined to make Eggman pay for tricking him. He dashed past Decoe and Bocoe who were both in pieces on the floor by the door. He ran straight up to Eggman and smacked him right on the nose.

"OUCH! You violent echidna!" Eggman bellowed, holding on to his bleeding nose, "You ought to be put in a mental home!"

Knuckles didn't even bother listening; he was heading to the switch to reverse the effects. Eggman was approaching a cupboard obviously getting something from it. Knuckles seized his chance, as soon as Eggman unlocked the door Knuckles charged at him, knocking him headfirst into the cupboard. Then, before Eggman could get up, which could take ages considering his size, Knuckles slammed the door shut, locked it with the key left in the keyhole and threw the key out of the window. Now Knuckles had the chance to save Sonic and his friends.

Sonic meanwhile was now challenging Amy to a game of Sonic 2 on Mega Collection, Sonic beat Amy at the Mystic Cave zone and Special Stage, which was very close. Sonic wished he could run and jump just like his character on the game.

"Don't worry Sonic," said Amy warmly, sensing Sonics feelings. Knuckles and Tails will finish soon, and then we will be back to normal.

"I hope you're right Amy," replied Sonic sadly.

There was suddenly a huge crash causing all of them to jump, they all approached the window and saw a robot crash on to the road outside, destroyed, next to it was the X Tornado with Tails, who gave them a thumbs up. He ran up to the house and Sonic called, "Where's Knuckles?"

"He is at Eggman's base trying to reverse the ageing, I must go and help him," replied Tails and he flew off with his vehicle.

"Please hurry," pleaded Sonic weakly.

At Eggman's base, Eggman was banging on the door furiously trying to get out. Knuckles was scanning through Eggman's library of books trying to find a book on the aging. He finally found a book called "antidotes" and found a cure… Baby oil!

"Why me?" moaned Knuckles. Tails then entered the room. Knuckles asked Tails to get the oil, who returned with it 10 minutes later. Knuckles placed the baby oil in the laser and fired the laser at Sonics house.

Slowly the wrinkles faded away, and the clothes changed back and in no time they were back to normal.

"I'M YOUNG AGAIN!" Screamed Amy, Sonic started running around the room.

"I'm so glad to able to run again!" he said. Everyone then started giving each other high fives.

"Thanks to Tails and Knuckles," added Shadow.

Tails and Knuckles watched from a screen and smiled.

"They are back," cheered Tails.

"Come on lets go home before Eggman gets free," he added, and headed for the exit.

"I am not going anywhere until I get my revenge!" said Knuckles and turned the laser around so that it aimed at the cupboard.

"He's going to break that door down any moment now," said Knuckles gleefully, "And when he does, he is going to get a taste of his own medicine,"

He replaced the baby oil with the wrinkle cream. Eggman continued to bang the door till eventually the hinges gave way and the door crashed to the floor.

"You are going to pay echidna!" called Eggman.

"Oh no I won't, it's you who's going to pay… FIRE!" called Knuckles and then he fired the beam straight at Eggman.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" called Eggman. It was too late, the beam hit him. His moustache turned a pale silver-white colour and drooped down. His face wrinkled up and his glasses snapped, no longer able to fit on his face, as it began to bloat. His hands became all wrinkly and his outfit was replaced with an old man's clothes, slippers and a pipe. Knuckles and Tails burst into fits of laughter.

"Man this is rich!" chuckled Knuckles.

"Revenge is sweet!" added Tails, "Oh I wish Sonic could see this!"

"Oh he will, Tails," replied Knuckles and he took out a Polaroid camera from his pocket and aimed at Eggman.

"Smile, Egghead!" he called and snapped a picture. He and Tails the left the room.

15 minutes later, they both arrived art Sonic's house. They all thanked and congratulated them.

"What goes around comes around Eggman!" said Sonic in between giggles.

Amy then approached Sonic "Never leave me Sonic, I never want to go old without you,"

"Don't worry Amy, I'll look out for you," said Sonic and they kissed tenderly.

"Ahhhh, that's so romantic…" sighed Cream, who was six years old again.

"Ahem!" called Knuckles and Sonic and Amy broke apart.

"We still have a birthday to celebrate you know!" he said happily, a big grin spread across his face.

"Well lets party!" replied Sonic and they all danced and drank the night away.
