GOMEN NASAI! GOMEN NASAI! GOMEN NASAI! GOMEN NASAI! GOMEN NASAI!
"Man, this is so late!" said Sonic.
Don't remind me.
"What happened?" asked Shadow.
Well, first I had a ton of homework…
"No surprise there…" Sonic whispered.
THEN! I went on a trip to Chicago with Band for four days. It was the best thing ever! We went to Medieval Times and Six Flags and won 1st place in a contest!
"So that's where you were." said Shadow.
Yeah. The Green knight beat my knight, the great White and Black Knight, and then he threw sand in our faces! Good thing he died!
"That's great! Then you became lazy and didn't post this chapter," sneered Knuckles.
Shut up! Besides, this chapter is stupid and pointless so I didn't really care. And this is the second chapter in a row without my OC. I wonder what's happening here?
"Don't ask us." Sonic said.
I wasn't going to.
Narisha-Is-Here-Thank you! I reread over my old story and I can tell I got better at writing too! And I wanna know what the comic is about! I bet it's cool! The ideas just keep on rollin'! No I lied, they don't.
ShadowIsCool- You officially have the best username ever! And a KnuxRouge story eh? This sounds like fun, Hehehe!
"What's that look for?" asked Knuckles.
You'll find out! Muahahaha!
NekoGuyFan- Thanks and I think that Lisa and Shadow will reunite next chapter, and soon after than it's gonna be a 3-way throw down between Sonic, Shadow and Lisa… DAMMIT! I SPILLED THE BEANS! And a question, are you a guy or a girl? Kinda confuzzled me there.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog… in public anyway… Nah just kidding… Or am I?
Sonic jumped back and placed his hand in front of his eyes to block the dust. The Egg Hawk was stronger than he had first expected, Eggman really went above and beyond with this machine. The body was shaped like a bird of prey with a red painted body and a yellow beak with lazy eyes. The doctor himself was sitting on his perch on the head of the eagle. Knuckles and Tails landed on the sides of Sonic a few yards away, protecting their eyes from the sand that the fan blades from the Egg Hawk was kicking up.
"This is a really strong machine," Tails complained, shaking himself to get the sand off as the Egg Hawk started its engines and started floating backwards.
Knuckles dropped his hands to the side and started chasing the Egg Hawk once more, "We can't let it get away!"
"Right!" cried Sonic, grabbing the hands of his comrades and dashed after the mecha, with Eggman in the cockpit.
"Muahaha!" mocked Eggman as the Egg Hawk hovered backward as he pressed a few buttons on his console, "Fire!"
Several missiles come bursting towards Sonic and with some fancy footwork, the hedgehog was barely able to move out of the way, plus protect his friends. The gang was swerving left and right, avoiding the attacks from the boss and continued till they crossed a bridge, leading to some island of sand where the machine floated in place.
There, the Egg Hawk started rotating in circles and trying to shoot at Team Sonic by doing a 360 of machine gun fire. The team, however, just ducked underneath the fire and initiated their new attack pattern. Tails jumped up into the air and started to spin his tails, letting him hover a few yards above ground. Next, Sonic leaped up and grabbed a hold of Tails' ankles while Knuckles clutched Sonic's shoes.
Flying in the air, Tails got in position above the artillery fire and swings the two friends beneath him, slowly back and forth, until his kicks Sonic out with all his might. Quickly after receiving the boost, Sonic speedily, curled up into a ball and spin dashed into the rotors of the Egg Hawk. Afterwards, Tails launched Knuckles into the other rotor, causing the Egg Hawk to crash into the sand dune, slowly burning and sparking.
Miles slowly floated down to the ground while Sonic and Knuckles ran up to him, and all three of them looked at the flaming wreckage. Sonic looked at the damaged vehicle when suddenly, Eggman busted out of the flames in his flying machine and cursed going westward, to the city.
"Great, here we go again," grumbled Knuckles.
"Well, lets get going!" declared Sonic as the trio raced off after Eggman.
Cream screamed, as she was knocked backward from the exploding sand. She whimpered as she slowly climbed to her feet, Big picking her up by her waist and placing her on his shoulder. The two looked on as a pink streak ran around the giant machine and round to where the huge cat and the bunny were.
"No good," Amy panted, "I can't find its weakness."
"Now what do we do, Amy?" Cream asked, her voice quivering.
"We do what we need to do! And that's destroying that robot!" Amy charged right back towards the mecha.
"But how do we destroy the robot? Amy. Amy!" The little rabbit called, "I guess we'll just have to trust Amy, right Cheese?"
The little chao chirped and floated next to Cream, kissing her cheek encouragingly.
"You're right Cheese! Come on Mr. Big!" acknowledged Cream.
"Duh, right!" Big replied, running after her.
The three kept running in unorganized circles, not having a real strategy, and were just focused on not being hit by the artillery fire.
"Muahahaha! You cannot escape my Egg Hawk!" cried the doctor, pressing a button and firing missiles at Team Rose.
Amy just narrowly ran out of range before the bomb exploded behind her and Cream flapped her ears, rising above the kicked up sand cloud. Big just placed his hands over his head and waited for the dust to settle on the ground.
After that, the Egg Hawk started spinning and firing so Big quick ran and picked up his two teammates and placed them on his shoulders, running away to gain their breath back. Cream and Amy stayed on Big's shoulders when Amy had an idea.
"Big quick! Run in range of the Egg Hawk!" She cried, pointing at the giant fake bird.
"What!" screeched Cream and Cheese gave a high squeak in protest, but Big charged anyway.
Right after the machine guns passed Big stopped right in front of the left wing as it was circling. Amy quick leaned forward and whispered into Big's ear their new attack plan.
"What did ya tell Mr. Big, Amy?" Cream asked nervously.
"Oh, just that we're gonna try that new attack I invented after my Sonikku's favorite attack, the spin dash!" Amy sighed, little hearts in her eyes.
"What! But Amy!" Cream immediately protested, but sighed in defeat, it was the only strategy they had at the moment.
"Ready?" Amy asked, not hearing the "No." from Cream, "Fire!"
Big reached behind his back and pulled on the wooden poll in his belt, like a katana, though when he brought it in front of him, it was only a tan umbrella. He then grabbed Amy and threw her in front oh his body, like someone would when they are trying to pitch a baseball to themselves. When the time was right, Big swung his umbrella like a bat and hit Amy towards the Egg Hawk and when Amy got close enough to the left propeller, she performed a spin dash, destroying the engine.
Now with only the right engine working, the Egg Hawk turned rapidly, spraying bits of machinery out in every direction. The group watched as Amy ran back and stood next to Big and the cat looked over at Cream.
"Are you ready now, Cream?" He asked, in a stupid and slow voice.
"Yes, I think so-Ahh!" the little bunny cried as Big snatched her off his shoulder and did the same as he did to Amy, by throwing her up and hitting her at the Egg Hawk.
Screeching, the little girl barely spin dashed in time, hitting the only remaining engine and caused the whole plane to crash into the ground, smoking and flaming.
Amy dashed into the wreckage and grabbed Cream by her wrist and pulled her out of there and laid her down beside Big.
"Are you ok, Cream?" the pink hedgehog asked in a soft tone, not to frighten the poor girl even more.
The little charcoal bunny coughed and slowly replied, "Uh huh…"
The fire finally reached the gas tank and exploded suddenly, without warning. On instinct, Big landed down on Amy and Cream protecting them under his huge furry stomach.
After a minute the smoke finally cleared and Big, with much difficulty raised himself back onto his feet, wobbling a bit. Amy stood up and gave Cream a hand and the three stood, looking at the remains of the Egg Hawk.
"Well, I guess that's that." Amy said, dusting off sand from her dress.
"Yea, but, I don't see Chocola or Froggy." Cream replied, holding her hand over her head to keep the sun out of her eyes, scanning the burning pile of parts.
"Froggy?" asked Big.
The three started to walk towards the broken down Egg Hawk when they heard the shrill call of the doctor's maniacal laughter. When they spun around they witnessed Dr. Eggman flying away towards the city.
"Well, guess where we're heading next, guys?" asked Amy.
"Where Amy?" Creamed asked, ignoring the obvious.
"There," Amy pointed towards the humungous skyscrapers in the distance, looming over them, "That's where Eggman went, and if we find Eggman, we find Chocola and Froggy!"
"Right!" the other two nodded and started to follow, as their pink leader started running towards Capital City in the distant skyline.
"Must eradicate Eggman robots!" a metallic voice cried, firing machinegun bullets at a familiar red hawk.
"Ugg! If he's going to be doing that the whole time, I'm gonna deactivate his metallic vocal cords!" groaned Rouge as she flapped her wings and flew out of range.
"Just worry about the task at hand!" called Shadow as he easily glided on his hover shoes around the Egg Hawk.
"Easy for you to say!" the bat screeched back as Eggman targeted her with his missiles.
Rouge performed a barrel roll and narrowly dodged the missiles being aimed at her, but was blown to the ground and slide for a few feet in the sand. She raised her head and spits out some sand, when Omega hovers by and picked her up in his metal hand roughly.
"What was that for!" she demanded, being held sideways in the robots uncomfortable grip.
Omega didn't say anything as behind them a loud beep was heard and the sand dune where Rouge landed blew up, spraying sand everywhere and sand rained down like hail.
A sudden blush came to Rouge's cheeks as Omega set her down a few yards away from the explosion.
"Umm… Thank you…" Rouge said shyly with her ears drooped a little.
"Must destroy Eggman!" Omega interrupted and flew off, back towards the Egg Hawk.
"Why you-" Rouge screamed and ran after him.
Meanwhile, Shadow was running around the Egg Hawk, often stopping in mid-run and turning and dashing off in the other direction, to try and confuse Eggman. Luckily, Eggman wasn't on his toes, so to speak as Shadow was and was soon very dizzy and confused.
When Rouge and Omega finally came back Shadow shouted, "Where have you two been?"
"No where." Rouge replied and Omega dug his feet into the sand to stop.
"I think it's time to finish this turkey off." Shadow said slyly.
"Yes lets," Rogue replied and shouted at Eggman, "Your goose is cooked!"
"I think not my dear!" retorted the evil genius.
"We think so!" Shadow jumped back beside his comrades and took out a familiar green gem, "Chaos Control!"
Shadow shouted two famous words and time slowed down to a stop, while Rouge picked up the robot by a bar on the back of his head and with much difficulty, raised him into the air, where Omega did a 580 with powerful blue beams shooting out of his hands.
For a few moments after the attack, time remained unmoving and the only beings or things able to move were Shadow, Rouge and Omega. While time was stuck, the three, or two, were catching their breath from the exhausting battle.
Soon, a flash of light appeared and when they group was able to see again, they watched flames erupt on the Egg Hawk, and the metal slowly burned and the paint shriveled up.
"Eggman target, destroyed!" Omega analyzed.
"Not unless you call him flying away to safety destroyed." Shadow pointed out and raised his finger to the sky, where Eggman in his flying Egg Pod was floating towards the metropolis on the horizon.
"Give me a break!" cried Rouge, putting her hands to her head in agony.
"Sorry, I have no Kit-Kat bars." Shadow teased.
"I'll give you a Kit-Kat bar!" Rouge screeched, totally losing it and went to jump onto Shadow and choke him.
Sadly for Rouge, Omega's metal claw scooped her up and placed her on his shoulder, away from Shadow.
"We must eradicate all Eggman robots. No time for bickering." was all he said as he started to make the journey to the city.
"Well, at least I get a free ride." Rouge tried to look optimistic and laid back, enjoying the ride.
"Well, we found ya, ya little guy!" exclaimed Vector.
The team looked down upon the little chao that they were sent to rescue. Apparently, their client wanted to test their abilities by having Team Chaotix rescue this poor little chao who wandered into the Ocean Palace. Their boss was really pleased that the chao wasn't harmed, and so was Charmy, the little bee playing with his new friend he named, Buzz.
"Hey Buzz! Wanna play tag?" Charmy asked and touched the little guy on the shoulder before flying off giggling.
The chao chuckled as well before running around with his hands in the air, trying to catch the bee flying around his head.
"Are you sure we should just let him go? Charmy really likes him." Espio pointed out, watching the two play together.
"Nah, he should go live in the wild," replied Vector.
"Who? Charmy or the chao?" teased Espio.
"Both." the croc groaned and rubbed his forehead.
The lizard laughed and turned, calling to Charmy, "C'mon, we have to go now! Don't worry, he'll be fine now that there are no more robots!"
A loud groan was heard as Charmy flew back over to Vector and Espio, hovering next to them.
"Bye Buzz!" the boy cried, waving his arms frantically over his head.
The little creature waved back and waddled over to a patch of trees and forest, soon disappearing out of sight, leaving Charmy all teary-eyed.
"Don't worry Charmy, he'll be fine."
"Yea…"
The older two walked away, leaving Charmy staring at the place where he last saw his friend, before he realized that Vector had left him behind and became his usual cheery self, flying after them.
When the bee finally caught up, the three were standing on the beach, watching the waves roll up onto the sand, and drag back into the ocean. Walking along the edge of the beach, they arrived at a stone little island, where they looked around, wondering what to do next.
"I could have sworn Eggman was in this area," growled Espio.
"Yeah, he was…" Vector started when a giant rumbling started under their feet.
A giant machine busted out of the sand and sprayed all three of them with sand. It was an enormous crimson bird, and it flew out of the ground, engines in its wings to make it fly, circling above the team.
"Muhahahaha!" an evil voice rang out, coming from the beast of the robot.
"I'd know that laugh anywhere!" snarled Vector.
"Yeah, it's…" Espio started.
"DR. EGGMAN!" all three of the yelled out.
The doctor stopped his laughter and looked down upon the pathetic team below him and declared, "If you think you can beat me go ahead and try!"
"Alright! We will!" Vector took up his challenge and followed Eggman as he maneuvered his creation, the Egg Hawk, down a stone pathway, leading out into the ocean.
The Chaotix followed, Espio, the fastest, was in front, dodging out of the way of several bombs Eggman dropped onto the path. Eventually, they reached a sand bar, sticking so far up, it was like a mini island. There, Eggman stopped moving backwards and landed the Egg Hawk.
"Take this!" Eggman cried.
The Egg Hawk started turning in a circle, spitting out machine gun fire in all directions, trying to hit Team Chaotix. To get out of range, Charmy flew up into the air with his teammates grabbing onto his ankles as they waited for the fire to go the other way.
After they darted out of they way, Charmy lowered the three back down to the ground and panted, falling on Vector's shoulders.
"You guys are heavy!" he complained.
"Oh, shush Charmy! We've got a battle to win here!" Vector told him.
"Besides it's not my fault Vector eats so many cheeseburgers!" Espio retorted.
"Shut up and help me!"
Espio ran over to Vector so they could perform their attack, the croc took in a deep breath and opened his mouth wide, letting out a gigantic roar. While his mouth was wide open, Espio curled up into a ball, along with Charmy and hopped into Vector's mouth. Spinning around in his mouth and gathering energy, Espio and Charmy were soon shot out of their leader's mouth, and then they spin dashed into the Egg Hawk's left wing.
Grunting and cursing, Dr. Eggman started up the machine again and started hovering backwards, along another stone walkway.
The team hastily reformed with Espio in front, hence the name, Speed Formation, and chased after the human. They were running right behind the Egg Hawk when the doctor fired some missiles, almost knocking them into the water.
At last, the very wet detectives reached another sand bar and waited as Dr. Eggman lowered the Egg Hawk to start attacking them once more. This time, Eggman decided to distract them so they would let their guard down and sent out several orange robots.
"Humph, too easy." Espio said, and brought his hands in front of his body, the first two fingers on each hand sticking up, like a ninja stance.
He quickly chanted a few words and did a back flip, while a giant gust of wind came and Eggman could see clearly again, Espio was no where to be found. Suddenly, one robot fell to the ground and started rolling, trying to get back up. Then another fell to the sand sparking.
"What is the meaning of this!" demanded Eggman.
An abrupt explosion made him jump and look to his right; the other rotor was burning rapidly. Soon, the fire spread onto some wires and ran towards where Eggman was sitting and reached the gas tank. He immediately shrieked like a girl and used his Egg Pod to escape before the red metallic bird burst into bits.
"Well, that' the end of that!" Vector cheered, wiping his hands, as Espio suddenly reappeared right next to him with his hands on his hips, a smirk firmly planted on his face.
"I have another mission for you!" a sudden voice called out.
"Who said that!" Charmy demanded, hiding behind Vector, shaking out of fear.
Espio sighed and took out the walkie-talkie and held it out in his palm and showed Vector.
"It appears like Dr. Eggman made his escape, so I want you to follow him to his city, Grand Metropolis. I'm sure it will get you more information about what he's up to." the voice called out.
"Right." replied Vector to the rest of the team.
Espio nodded and turned towards the giant city in the distance and crouched down, then suddenly sprinted off, with the croc and bee following close behind him.
Well that's that. PLEASE REVIEW!
