Chapter 4
Down the drain
Sonic woke up. He saw Knuckles off to his right. Knuckles' gloves were floating around him, and he was out cold. Sonic flew over and put his gloves back on. Knuckles hated when his gloves were off, and Sonic needed all the help he could get. Sonic looked around. His green chaos emerald was floating above him. As soon as he reached for it, however, It flew forward. Sonic rushed to get it, leaving Knuckles behind. "Wait!" Vector yelled. Above him, Sonic saw Vector soaring down from the outside world.
"That chaos emerald is fake!" Vector said.
"How do you know that?" Sonic asked.
"When my team saw theses tunnels, we saw your chaos emerald and about ten of Eggman's bots." Vector replied.
"Espio went down one tunnel, I went down the other, and Charmy stayed back to fight them." Vector said.
"All by himself?" Sonic asked worried.
"Espio has trained him in using swords, and I taught him how martial arts." Vector bragged.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?" Knuckles asked, just waking up. There was blood dripping down from his head.
"What happened to you?" Sonic asked.
FLASHBACK
Knuckles enters the tunnel. Through the warp hole, he sees a fleet of Eggbots. Team chaotix is just entering. Knuckles destroys most, but a blast from a bot up above hits Knuckles in the head, knocking him out. As he is knocked out, Sonic wakes up.
END FLASHBACK
"So Eggbots were all over?" Vector asked.
"Yes" Knuckles replied.
"That must mean he is behind this!" Sonic said.
"No way! Like I didn't figure that out already!" Vector said sarcastically.
"Well you don't have to be so stingy about it." Sonic said sadly. This tunnel was different. It glowed silver, gold, bronze, and yellow. There were stripes of white going horizontally. Below them, there were three tunnels.
"I'll take this one." Vector said and pointed to the tunnel on the left. He shot down towards the tunnel, and disappeared into a white light.
"I'll take the tunnel down the right." Knuckle said and shot down the right tunnel.
He disappeared in a golden light.
"I guess that leaves me." Sonic sighed and shot down the middle tunnel.
When he entered the tunnel, He felt like he had been split into millions of pieces. And he had. Every atom dissipated, and reappeared again. Sonic felt horrible. It burned his whole body to spilt into pieces. He landed in a tree in a beautiful thick forest. His body ached from all of his atoms splitting apart. He was in a robin's nest. The nest was as big as a table, and the eggs were the size of plates. They were speckled with small black dots. There was a shell that was split in two pieces. Sonic saw another shell underneath him.
"Oh crap!" Sonic said. There were seven eggs inside the nest. Suddenly, one of the eggshells cracked. A small lizard peeked its head out. The lizard was purple, with scaly blue dots on its back. The underbelly of the creature was soft, and yellow. It had bumps on the belly, little rings of cartilage. It had 3 horns that were white. The horns wee soft, since the creature was a baby. It had small yellow eyes, and 8 rows of teeth. He smiled at sonic, revealing his yellow rows. There were two indents were the ears were. The tail was spiked, and wagging. He was as long as sonic, perhaps longer.
"Hmm," Sonic said, "You seem to be nice."
The creature had light blue wings! He giggled as he flapped his wings. He breathed little fireballs when he giggled. Sonic jumped out of the way.
"Whoa" Sonic yelled. The monster laughed. He stopped breathing fire.
"You have nerve, don't you?" Sonic said. The monster grinned.
"I'm going to call you chili dog." Sonic decided. The monster flew at Sonic.
"WHOA!" Sonic screamed.
(Knuckles POV)
Knuckles pulled at the walls with his claws, but the tunnel was made of energy. Knuckles was thrown by the energy to the opposite wall, which threw him back as well. He was knocked back and forth. The pain was horrible, and it stung the cut on his head, causing blood to flow down his head to his face.
"Ow!" Knuckles cried out. He fell from the sky, landing on the ground below. The fall hurt, and he was becoming unconscious. Just as he stopped seeing he heard a voice say "Hey Knucklehead!"
When he woke up, he was on a purple table. He saw Sonic looking down on him.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey" Sonic replied.
"Where are we?" Knuckles asked. Then he noticed that one of the walls was moving. Knuckles wasn't afraid of heights, growing up on a floating island and all, but the view made Knuckles' eyes grow huge.
"We're on chilidog!" Sonic replied.
"We're on a flying chilidog?" Knuckles asked.
"No Knucklehead, It's my dragon chili dog." Sonic teased. Just then they heard a scream below.
There is my longest chapter yet.
I really like making fun of Knuckles"
