If I did, I'd be in my virtual reality room, slapping at hordes of killer bees with a frozen TV dinner. However, in reality, I do not. Reality sucks. So don't sue me.

Yay! Chapter three is about to start. In this chapter, the recently kidnapped group wakes up to find themselves in a different galaxy and meet for the first time, the one behind the plot to destroy Sonic. Just a note, we won't be seeing Sonic or the weird spider for a while. The next couple of chapters, this one included, will be about Greedy's surveillance team tracking Sonic's every move. But, why give it away. Read on!

Scene Three

Greedy Intentions

"Oh, my head." Sally regained consciousness about the same time that everyone else did. They all looked around and found themselves in a cell. They saw a most unusual sight too.

First, the robot that caused Mina to scream was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Next to him, the robot that had actually fired the shot that had knocked them all unconscious. A small blue thing has in the top of its head. The third was someone they'd never seen before. He was obviously not worried about anything. He was sitting on a chair that looked more like a throne. His left leg was on the floor, but his right leg was draped over the armrest and his right arm was resting on top of it. His left arm was propped up by the elbow and he was looking away from the group.

"Knuckles! What are you doing here!" Knuckles turned to face Lara-Le. "Mom!" She ran up to Knuckles and hugged him. He noticed that she was carrying a baby that looked like him. "And…" He paused and sweatdropped. "Kneecaps."

(A.N. Just because I owned only one issue of the comic series, does not mean that I don't look at them whenever I get the chance! And yes. Knuckles' mother did name his baby brother Kneecaps for short. His full name is Kneecapion Mace. Someone is taking drugs, aren't they?)

"Knuckles, how did you…" Knuckles interrupted. "Get here? Probably the same way you did." By now, the strange creature in the chair had turned and noticed the two conversing. "Am I missing something here?" Knuckles and the others turned to face him. The robot looked at the group, as did the blue thing in the other robot. "Ok, just who are you guys and who do you think you are?" The blue creature started. "Ah, yes. Please forgive my rudeness. I am known as Dr. Inonsis and this…" he motioned to the robot, "is a creation of mine. He's called Uranium."

Knuckles just kept looking from one to the other. Antoine broke the silence. "And him?" Inonsis looked over to the thing in the chair. "Ah, yes. That's Greedy." Rotor spoke up after being silent for so long. "Greedy? What kind of name is that?" Greedy didn't do anything, but Sally noticed that his left eye twitched suddenly when Rotor had said that. "It's the perfect name for a former space pirate. But, then again…" he thought for a second, "But, then again, what kind of name is Inonsis?" Inonsis started again. "Hey! What about the baby! His name is Kneecaps for crying out loud!" Greedy seemed surprised by this. He looked over to Lara-Le. "It is?" She nodded. Greedy just stared at her. "Oh, my dear sweet lord. I admit I actually feel sorry for the kid. Mobians are so freaking weird."

"Well, I think it's a good name!" Lara-Le shot back. Knuckles hesitantly spoke. "I'm not trying to be rude or anything mom, but I've got to agree with him." Lara-Le looked at her son. "You're not helping." Greedy stood and stretched. Well, I believe it's time that I explained why I brought you here. Sally suddenly snapped back to the real world. "You see, as odd as it may seem, I personally know your little hedgehog friend. I met him eight years ago and he, along with that star, defeated me. I've been looking for a way to get him and, when I met him, I figured out a plan."

"I hate to interrupt this little speech, but where exactly are we?" Greedy stopped walking around.

"Echidna, you're proving to be a nuisance."

"Hey, echidna has a name, you know!"

'Yes, he does. And if he doesn't stop interrupting people, HIS NAME IS GOING TO BE MUD!"

Everybody was startled by this sudden outburst and Kneecaps began crying. Greedy sighed and threw his hands in the air. "Why me?" After a few minutes of Lara-Le cooing the baby, Kneecaps finally fell asleep. Lara-Le sighed and said, "You can continue." Greedy lifted his head. "Thank you. But, your son does bring up a good point." Knuckles seemed surprised. "I do?" Greedy snapped his fingers and pointed to the abnormally large wall in front of him. Inonsis understood and pushed a button that caused the wall to begin sliding over to reveal a large window. Outside the window was… "OUTER SPACE!"

Knuckles quickly slapped his hands over his mouth and looked at Kneecaps. Miraculously, he kept sleeping." Knuckles released a heavy sigh. Greedy had tensed up when Knuckles had shouted, but, when no crying followed, he calmed down. "Yes, outer space. You are all on my space city in the Valdi solar system.' Sally became confused. "Valdi?" Greedy nodded "Yes, a galaxy not to far from Mobius." He pointed to a ring of planets with a star nebulae in the middle of it. "The planets, in order going right starting with that green planet, are Planet Flora…"

Planet Flora was a bright green planet with little speckles of yellow. "Planet Undertow…" Planet Undertow was a bright blue planet with speckles of lighter blue shades. "Planet Scorch…" Planet Scorch was a bright orange planet with red and yellow blotches. "Planet Sonata…" Planet Sonata was another bright blue planet, however, this one had blotches of white. "Planet Freon…" Planet Freon was another blue planet, but this looked like it didn't have any speckles or blotches. "and Planet Automaton." Planet Automaton was a grayish planet with blotches of yellow and puke green.

"The thing in the middle is the star nebulae, with that brat lives." Mina raised her hand. "Um, excuse me. What do you mean by 'that brat'?" Everyone thought he was going to answer, but he just changed the subject. "Inonsis, check the position of our little hedgehog friend." Inonsis did so. "He's still running around on Mobius like a madman." Inonsis laughed. "That's good. Now, check the positions of Awaueck and Itamor." As Inonsis began to fiddle around with his buttons, Tails asked a question. "Who are Awaueck and Itamor?" Greedy looked at the two-tailed fox. "They're the former rulers of Planets Sonata and Automaton.' A beep interrupted him.

"Uh, sir."

"Good. Now where are they?"

"That's the problem."

"Problem?"

Inonsis pushed a button and a circular hole opened up in the middle of the floor. Inonsis pointed into it. "Have a look for yourself." Greedy sighed. 'You've got to be kidding me." Greedy looked down the hole and, lo and behold, there they were. Greedy slapped his face. "I'm being surrounded by morons."

Itamor was an odd, but tall creature. His body was mostly covered by a blue slime. All that remained was his green belly, green hands, and a green thing on his head that looked like a fez. Awaueck was a white eagle with a green stomach and a red thing on his head. "WHAT ARE MORONS DOING!" Both of them, who had been sleeping, woke with a start and looked up at Greedy. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON FREON AND SONATA!" Kneecaps, who also had been sleeping, woke and started to cry when he noticed some colorful balls outside the big window. He giggled and reached for the green one. This, of course., confused the group, but they shrugged it off.

Suddenly, something on Inonsis' monitor began beeping. "Inonsis, what is that?" Before he could give an answer, the sound of a wall breaking came from downstairs.

"Inonsis…"

'We've got a intruder!"

Ha ha! Cliffhanger! I guess you'll just have to read the next chapter to find out who this mystery rescuer is! I'll tell you this: it's not who you think it is!

Sonic: Something tells me that the rescuer is me.

Metal Sonic EX: That's would be too obvious. It's not you.

Sonic: Yeah, right.

Metal Sonic EX: Are you defying my power?

Sonic: Of course.
