It's time for Team Metal Chao to strike!

Chapter 3: The Attack.

" What's taking them so long?" Spic asked, holding her two children as they slept.

" The store's probably a madhouse by now." Techno replied.

" It's also the time of year that Little Planet appears in this dimension." Peach reminded as she and Red sat near the Ultimate Emerald.

" Yeah! It appears over Never Lake! I bet after the comet passes we could go see it!" Red added. They were so wrapped up in their plans that they didn't see the three-chao robots landing. Peach heard the landing and shouted to the others. Scrawl backhanded Peach, causing her to smash into the stonewall. Red was spiked into the ground by Abyss while Wraith snatched the Ultimate Emerald.

" Spic! Get into the shelter!" Techno yelled as he procured small disks and smoke bombs. After he set the bombs off, the chao inventor set the small disks that produced holograms of Techno. Scrawl's arm turned into a cannon as he shot image after image. He finally hit Techno with an electric bolt, paralyzing the chao. Spic barricaded the entrance to the shelter trying to keep her children safe. Abyss started to pound the stone door, cracking it with each slam. Spirit and Rocky awoke from the noise and began to bawl. Spic searched for something to defend herself with. She then saw the hilt of Ghost's broken sword, the Dragon Fang. Abyss punched a hole in the door.

" Heeeres Johnny!" the robot screeched as he tore the wall down. Spic picked up the sword handle and stood between Abyss and her kids.

" Move…" Abyss ordered. Spic didn't move.

" I said move…" the robot repeated. Again, Spic remained still. Abyss became furious and knocked the hilt out of Spic's hands. It smashed into the wall and shattered. Unknown to the two that a slip of paper concealed in the sword fluttered to the ground.

"MOVE!" Abyss screamed as he shoved Spic out of the way. She hit the wall while the robot moved in on her kids. Abyss felt something grab his ankle. When he looked down, Spic clung onto the robot's leg.

" I won't let you take them from me!" she said. Abyss activated his thrusters and slammed Spic into the wall again and again. She still clung to the metallic leg. The robot then flew out of the shelter and flew into the air.

" Boy, you sure are persistent!" he sneered as he flung her to the ground. Scrawl flew into the shelter and grabbed Spirit and Rocky. Team Metal Chao then flew off with their bounty.

" Spirit…Rocky…Don't…" Spic gasped. She then collapsed on the ground.

In Westopolis, Ghost suddenly tensed up.

' Are you alright?' Scribbles wrote.

" What's up?" Flash asked.

" We need to get home! Now!" Ghost yelled. Shadow found a car that worked, hotwired it, and drove home. Flash clung to the half-scorched bear. Stuffing was leaking out at the seams. The sonic chao then thought of the little girl that he and Ghost saved. After a few speeding tickets, they reached the Neutral Garden. Ghost dashed in and saw his home ruined. Almost everyone was unconscious. He then heard a moan from Spic.

" Spic! Are you okay? What happened?" the white chao asked.

" I failed…I couldn't save them…they're gone…" Spic replied before she passed out again. Scribbles saw the paper in the shelter and gave it to Ghost. Shadow then called the hospital for everyone.

The plot thickens… Review!
