Part IV for Team Unlikely
Reading Between the Flashing Neon Signs
"Team Improbable?" Amy finally ventured. Omega and Charmy considered this for a moment, then turned to face the pink hedgehog.
"That sounds like a good name. Omega agrees," E-123 said, giving a pose for no apparent reason.
"Yah! It's a good name!" Charmy said happily, flying around Omega's head.
"Okay, we heard that Tails and Shadow went off to find Big and fight this Alien Menace for some reason. We'll head to Tails' Workshop, and Omega can hack into Tails' system to see the phone calls they recently had. That should tell us where they went hopefully," Amy said, taking charge. The robot and bee saluted, and the three dashed off to get the train.
"RUN!" Team Unlikely screamed suddenly, a robot horde three times the size of earlier had suddenly come pouring at them.
Big, for some inane reason, pulled out a few large pieces of gum and began to chew them as he ran.
"What the heck are you doing?" Shadow demanded, looking back at the cat.
Big merely kept chewing, and pulled out his umbrella. After he chewed for a few more seconds, the robot horde gaining on them somehow, Big spat two pieces of the still wet gum unto his umbrella, grabbed the hedgehog and kitsune, placed their bottoms on the umbrella, and turned to face the enemy.
"Oh dear god…" Tails muttered, looking at robots, and finding his butt gummed to Big's umbrella.
Shadow merely shivered, finding himself in Tails same predicament, and muttering something about The Ultimate Life Form being treated with more respect.
Big pulled back his umbrella like a baseball bat, and flung it forward.
The gum stretched outwards but did not break. Tails and Shadow found themselves still flying forward, and curling into a ball to protect themselves. They slammed into the robots, destroying a few, then returning to be hit again with the umbrella end.
This continued for a few minutes until Tails and Shadow felt themselves no longer moving. Shadow hazarded a look, and saw all the robots destroyed.
"This has got to be the weirdest strategy I've ever seen…" Shadow muttered. Big pulled out some anti-gum stuff, again, his teammates wondered where he got it, and freed the two from their gummy trap.
"Big…how did you think of it?" Tails wondered, shaking his head slightly to get his sense of balance back.
"Saw it in a cartoon once!" Big smiled, placing his umbrella away for now.
"Ooookay…Put that aside. Let's go on before I lose my patience," Shadow muttered. Team Unlikely head on again, blasting through a few smaller robot hordes and found the end.
"Are you sure this is the end?" Big wondered, tilting his head. It was a large door that read 'End of Level' above it in bright neon letters.
Shadow whacked Big with his Chaos Emerald and Team Unlikely stepped forward.

Omega was playing back the conversations Tails had had recently with the President, Knuckles, and Amy to figure out what happened. They did find out for a fact the President had called Tails and wanted Team Sonic.
Amy walked into Sonic's room, and saw Sonic with the flu attempting to grab the remote which had fallen a few feet from the bed.
The blue blur looked up, and his eyes widened in fear. She was here…
"SONNIKKU!" Amy shouted happily, attempting to glomp Sonic. Sonic used his only way out and fell out of the bed, Amy missing and hitting the wall.
"I had te flu…Dob touch meeb…" Sonic sniffled, getting up shakily and balancing on the table thing by his bed.
"Oh…Poor Sonic. I'll make some soup!" Amy declared happily.
"Feeding soup to other hedgehog life form is not our mission Amy," Omega reminded the pink hedgehog.
"Besibes Ames, I wanb to geb bebber," Sonic said, and proceeded to blow his nose.
"You're lucky you're sick, or my Piko Piko Hammer would like to have a word with you on that," Amy threatened.
"Eh…" Sonic said, grinning meekly. Amy jumped off from the bed, after having landed on it from slamming into the wall in a failed attempt to glomp the sick Sonic, and Sonic got back in.
"Where'd Tails go Sonic?" Charmy wondered, sitting on Omega's head.
"He and Shabow wenb to fibe Big," Sonic explained.
"Oh. They went to Station Square then I bet!" Amy said. "Thanks Sonic! After I help Omega I'll be back to make you that soup!"
The three left, and Sonic realized he should have asked one of them to get the remote for him…

"Congratulations. You have passed the first test," the Alien Menace said as Team Unlikely found themselves back in the meeting place of the spaceship.
"Did anyone else pass?" Tails wondered.
"Three other Teams. About half an hour before you," the Alien Menace answered.
"Oh…" Tails said.
"No problem guys! We'll do better next time!" Big said, grinning from ear to ear and hugging Tails and Shadow in a monstrous bear hug.
"Let go of me Big…" Shadow said, being squeezed.
"No," Big answered, and continued hugging.

Will Team Improbable find Team Unlikely? Will Sonic recover before he must taste Amy's soup? Will Big stop hugging Shadow and Tails? Will I stop asking all these questions starting with 'Will'?
Who knows.
And thanks for SabreJustice for the name for 'Team Improbable.'
I do not own Sonic and all related titles.
And I have to say this fic seems to be my most popular one. 15 reviews in three parts. That's a record! I'm sorry for the long update, but I've been focusing on all the legend stuff for my other ongoing fic The Chaos Control. So Sorry, but I'll have another, and hopefully longer, update soon!
