A/N: This is my first Sonic fiction. It is centred around Team Chaotix from the game; Sonic Heroes. Hehe, funny game... But don't worry guys; Sonic is here too, he's just not that important... Or maybe he is... O.o;

Summary: A bunch of kids gets kidnapped and one of them manages to call Vector. He decides to take job of finding them; obviously some mad man is using them all for a ritual.

Disclaimer: Sonic does not belong to me, neither any of the other characters... Just the ones that I made up as I ran along the sea of craziness...

Chapter two

Zooming along the beaches of the south central sea, Sonic gave half a thought to where in the world his friends might be now. Not that he ever worried about how they were doing, he was actually more worried about Amy catching up to him. It wasn't like he didn't like her, but he loved a good race and he had promised himself, that if she could catch him, he would fess up and marry her.

An airplane rode across the sky, looking down on him. Secretly, he hoped it was Tails, but he hadn't seen the fox since their last encounter with Dr. Eggman... Letting out some air, he came to a halt. It far too hot today to be running his shoes off. Walking over to some palm trees, he slumped down onto the sand and dozed quickly off.

"Sonic, I finally found you!"

He jumped to his feet, but it had only been a dream. Falling back on his butt, the hedgehog smiled up at the clouds that had finally started to form around the big city. Taking a long deep breath, he got back up. The weather was cooling down, so he could get on his way. Maybe a trip into town! He was starting to build up an appetite.

Launching himself forwards, he ran off into the city.

Upon coming to a stop in front of a hotdog stand, he noticed a familiar character. Ducking fast behind the stand, he peered over at the girl. He had to snicker as he saw her walk around aimlessly. Figuring it would be good for him; he started up and headed over.

"S'up Amy? What a coincidence to meet you here."

He flashed a smile and watched her eyes grow bigger.

"Sonic, oh I can't believe my luck!"

She made a grab for him which he dodged easily. Falling to her knees, she suddenly broke out in laughter.

"Oh I should have known better!"

Getting back up and brushing off some dust of her dress, she grinned at him.

"You saw me and decided to tease me huh?"

He sighed and bowed his head. Not that he was loosing face.

"Gee Amy, nothing gets past you does it?"

She smiled at him, but as she opened her mouth to answer him a shriek called their attention.

"Help, kidnappers!"

Sonic blasted off towards the sound and found himself face to face with a little girl being dragged off by a big man in a trench coat. She seemed to be around six years old and Sonic heard himself snort as he bounced off towards them. Kicking the man over the head, he grabbed the girl and ran back to Amy to place her there for safe keeping. Running back to the man, he struck a pose as the man got back to his feet. He seemed very busy hiding his face...

"Picking on little girls eh? Why don't you try on someone your own size for once?"

The man sneered at him and threw something to the ground. At first glance Sonic thought it was a bomb, but when it exploded; it released strong flashes of light that blinded just about anyone around.

"Damn he got away!"

He kicked the ground and turned to go back to Amy and the little girl.

Giving them both a smile, he reassured the girl that the man would not bother her again. She grinned back and waved at them as she ran off.

Glancing after her, the two sighed in relief.

"Oh Sonic, you were so brave! Thanks to you, the kidnapper escaped!"

Amy stomped the ground making Sonic step back.

"What do you mean Amy? There's a kidnapper here? But I just stopped him!"

"You just stopped him momentarily... He has already gotten eleven children. People are looking none stop for them."

He gasped.

"Do you think he could have gotten Tails too!"

Giving him a dead panned look, she sighed. Then she explained to him that the kids the kidnapper took was around five to six years old and that Tails was probably far away and not the first in question of being kidnapped by a mad man. Glaring at the sidewalk, he shuffled his feet and turned to walk away. Clapping his thigh, he gave her a signal to follow.

"So, anything on where the kids are, or what's connecting them?"

Amy smiled grimly.

"Only that they seem to be around the same age... Some even got kidnapped in another town and brought here. As for where they could be hidden, no one has a clue... If only we had someone who was good at finding things."

She looked up dreamily. Sonic nodded to this.

"Yeah, someone like; Vector and those friends of his! Amy, come on! We need to make visit in the shadier part of this town!"

He grabbed onto her wrist and bolted off towards the detective agency.
