AXE
As we neared the edge of the island I caught up with Amy. She looked great. Her blue-purple fur caught the sunlight very well, and her eyes shone in a deep emerald green. I looked away long enough to see that I was about to hit a tree. I decided to use one of my mom's moves. I jumped, did a front flip, and as I came out of it, shot my legs forward while adjusting my wings so I would spiral, and drilled through the tree.
"Show off!" I heard from behind.
It was Black, who soon apeared on the other side of Amy. He shot me an evil look. He used Chaos Control several times in a row to dodge a few trees.
"And I'M the show off?" I said under my breath.
We were at the edge now, and stopped. Station Square was twenty minutes on foot, five by air.
"We're running low on time." Max said.
Her ears perked up and she grabed Chase by the shoulders as she flew off the edge of the floating island. I reached one arm around Amy's back, and one under her legs, and swept her up. She was a little scared the whole time we flew so she held tight arond my neck around my neck. It took us five minutes to reach Emerald Beach. I would have been faster if Black hadn't attached himself to my leg.
AMY
I love it when he does that. Him sweeping me off my feet just makes me feel all fuzzy inside. But I don't think he should be so afraid of Black.
"My turn to be usefull." Chase said after we had all met up.
He turned invisible like his dad does and after that we didn't know where he went, so me and Axe had a staring contest. Black didn't like this at all so he said he would go againt the winner, knowing I always won.
CHASE
This is getting too loud. I thought.
Amy, Axe, Black, and surprisingly enough, Maxi were arguing. I scared them into scilence by throwing a shuriken into the middle of their four-way argument.
At least it's not as loud.
I walked up to where I cold hear them. Sonic was finishing his explianation.
"...And that's all we know." he was saying.
"Ok, I'll call Amy so she can bring the clues." Amy's mom said.
Uh-oh.
Amy's phone has a really loud ringtone.
I came out of concealment and the others came out as well.
"Hello, father." I said.
"Amy!" Sonic said, "What are you doing here"
"We were, um, well, you see, I...we, um..." Amy stuttered.
"We wish to join the quest for Eggman." I said.
It was the truth. Not the whole truth, but still. I really just came to spend more time with Max. Amy and Axe are inseperable, and Black, well, we haven't quite figured him out yet.
"Absolutely not," Knuckles said, "Axe, it's too dangerous"
"'Nothing is too dangerous for an echidna.'" Axe quoted.
By now he was just trying to show off. Black made a point of this after greeting Sonic by the name of 'Faker.
"That is enough!" yelled Cream.
"That was loud." Tails observed.
"Way to go, Captain Obvious." Amy's mom snapped.
The fighting would have gone on forever, but Eggman used the moment of weakness between the teams to his advantage. He shot several missiles at us. The last I saw was Team Sonic being lifted into the air and carried off. Then I was hit with a piece of concrete.
AMY
Why does Chase have to be so blunt? If he had hinted at it untill one of them asked us to help.
"None of you are helping and that is final." Mom said.
"Sorry, Mom. Eggman has now made it a persoal matter for almost everyone on my team." I said.
"Your team? And what team is that?" she asked.
Black, Maxi, and Axe stood up and formed a line behind me. Chase was still out.
"Team Chaos," Axe said, "And we have to find two teams now"
Black began pacing.
"Why are you pacing?" I asked.
"I'm nevous." he said.
"You don't normaly pace back and forth when you're nervous. You just go off and brood." Axe said.
Black changed the subject so he didn't make himself look bad.
"Look. Chase is waking up." he said.
Max was the first one to his side, followed by Espio. Chase opened his eyes, and before anyone could say anything, he threw a ninja star at Black. The wepon flew past Black, just grazing his arm. Blood shot out of the cut, and he placed his hand over it to stop the bleeding.
"Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?" Chase asked.
"Is it the fact that Black is now seriously injured, and bleeding?" I asked.
Maxi knew the answer.
"That, and the fact that it's oil, and not blood." she said.
An evil laugh came from Black's mouth.
"So you figured it out. Now, can you find me before something happens to your familly members?" It was Eggman's voice.
Axe jumped forward and kicked the eggbot. Then, while it was in the air he used a meteor punch, crushing the worthless heap of metal into the ground.
"How did you know about it being a robot?" I asked.
"It was simple," Chase said, "Axe said that he called Black to inform him of the attack on their parents. But from what I heard of the damage caused, Black couldn't have been called at his house, and he doesn't have a cell phone. That leaves the deduction that he was either captured by Eggman along with them, or he went after them and got himself captured"
After the explaining and the disecting of what was left of the robot, we decided to rest and get some food. Aunt Cream volanteered to make something, but since we didn't have any supplies, Axe and I went to get the food. As we walked he slid his arm around my shoulders.
"We're suposed to be getting food, remember?" I told him.
"We will, but there are metal versions of everyone up ahead." he said.
"Should we go back?" I asked.
"Grab on"
He turned to the side and dug his claws into the wall. I put my arms around his neck and he began climbing. When we got to the top I started running to where the others were. I jumped down to where they were sitting.
"Mom, there's a whole bunch of robots that look like you and Dad and everybody." I said.
"Mecha versions of us"
"Yeah, and they're"
Axe was cut off by the mecha that looked like Mom.
"Right behind you." it finished.
