Author's note: I may seem a little desperate to do what my critics want me to do, but that's only natural, given how far in the story I've gotten.

Chapter 4: Planning for Trouble
-
Meanwhile, in Dr. Eggman's base, the not-so-good doctor was relaxing in his chair with a cup of coffee. An intercom light beeped.
The doctor pressed a button on the arm of his chair. "Come in, Robot Turquoise."
A turquoise robot entered the room and gave Dr. Eggman his report. "Sir, I've just finished spying on subject 'Sonic' and his conversation with some cat we've never seen before."
"Describe this cat to me," Eggman responded.
"Well, she's about Sonic's height, and very cute. She's a light purple color."
"What kind of stupid description is that? Give me some more details!"
"She wears a dark purple shirt with a gold collar and fringed cuffs. Her tail is a little crooked, and her shoes look a lot like Sonic's, only a dark pink color, and fringed just like the cuffs."
"Tell me even more! I want to know as much as I can!"
"Her eyes are a yellow color. She some kind of headdress, and there's a red jewel or something in the middle of her forehead, She also- you know what, Doctor?"
"Yes?"
"Maybe I should just show you. She's kind of hard to describe."
With that, Robot Turquoise displayed a hologram of Blaze. Eggman looked her over. "Ah, yes. She seems a little mysterious. Did you hear anything interesting in the conversation?"
"I did. Here, I'll play it back for you."
BEEP! A recording of Blaze's conversation with Sonic began playing. When he heard Blaze mention the Sol Emeralds, he gasped. "Sol Emeralds? There are these Sol Emerald things around? This is something!"
After hearing the rest of the conversation, Dr. Eggman pressed another intercom button. "Robots Orange and Magenta, I have new orders for the two of you. Go see if you can find some of these so-called Sol Emeralds. They're like Chaos Emeralds, but not quite the same shape. Over and out."
He then turned back to Robot Turquoise. "Now, go back and keep a visual input receptor on Sonic and this Blaze character. That is her name, right? It came through in that conversation."
"Affirmative."
"Well, you have your orders. Take Robot Yellow with you, just in case things get crazy."
Robot Turquoise left the room, leaving Dr. Eggman alone for a moment. "This is certainly curious," he said to himself. "This is just a hunch, but I think this Blaze character may actually be noteworthy. I just hope Robots Yellow and Turquoise know what they're doing. Maybe I'll send Robot Red in to back them up. No, I'll wait a while and see what turns up."

Nice chapter, eh? A little short, but nice.
