Hey guys, I hope everyone liked chapter 7. I'm not gonna waste your time with my mindless rambling this time. On with the story!
Dr Robotnik, sat at his massive computer, trying to find out more information about the rings.
"Gah, if only I could find something else about these rings! There needs to be some sort of way to get them to stop working!" Hr said to himself as he typed. Just then Chaos came into the room, holding two gems, one blue, the other red.
"Spooch, Spoosh."
"Oh Chaos, I didn't here you come in. What is that you-...You've found two of the Chaos Emeralds? But, how! And where!" Robotnik yelled in excitement as he grabbed the two stones. The he remembered that Chaos couldn't talk, so he stopped asking him questions. "Mwahahaha! With two of these babies, I don't need any information on those rings," he said as he clicked out of his information. "If Those so called, Freedom Fighters want to come take a crack at me, then let them! I'll show them what real power is!"
Matt continued walking home, he kept thinking if there were other people that had 'special' rings too. Then something dragged his attention away from his thoughts.
"Excuse me son," a cop said to him rolling up to the curb in his car.
"Yes sir?" Matt asked.
"We are trying to get information on the animals that have been running around. We have uncovered the information from an old lab stating that anyone could become these creatures with the right item obtained," the cop stated. Matt's heart dropped as he clenched the ring in his pocket.
'God please don't frisk me and find it. Please!' He thought.
"We were wondering if you had any information at all about this," the cop continued.
"Umm, I don't know anything, but I will be sure to contact your station if I hear anything about it,' Matt said innocently.
"Can do," the man said, and with that, the car was driving away.
"Phewwww," Matt sighed. What would happen if they had caught him. What would he had done. He was exactly right. The government was after him and his friends. And what did the man mean 'they found info in a lab'. He decided to go to Nick, he might know something about it.
"So what your saying is they found information at an abandoned lab?" Nick asked.
"Yeah that's what he said, what do you think? I mean, we could try to find it, it must have some secrets about these rings," Matt told him.
"That's true. But, how will we figure out where it is?" Nick asked.
"Hehe, I think I know just who to go to...' Matt chuckled. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hey, this Josh?"
"Yeah it's me," josh answered from the other end.
"Hey, we have an, assignment for ya," Matt snickered.
"What do you mean by an, assignment?" Josh asked. Matt explained the thing with the cops to him, and told him the plan he had. "So you want me to sneak into the police station tonight, and try to find information on where this island is?"
"Correct, man you catch on quick," Matt joked.
"Well I'm not doing it," Josh simply said.
"What do you mean your not! Don't you want to figure out the mystery to the rings!" Matt's voice started to raise.
"Well, I suppose I do," Josh said quietly.
"Alright, so at mid-night, we all meet near the police station! I'll call the others and tell them," Matt said.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Josh said right before he hung up.
"How was he with the plan?" Nick asked Matt.
"Hard-headed. But he is supposed to be Knuckles," Matt said as the two laughed. He called Ashley and Emily and told them. Later that night, they all met at the meeting place.
"You guys, what if I get caught by my parents!" Emily whined.
"Emily don't worry, your parents are asleep. You need to learn to calm down," Ashley told her.
"Will you guys keep quiet and listen to the plan?" Matt snapped at them.
"Alright so explain this one more time, from the beginning," Josh said.
"Okay, first, you go on top of the roof, and sneak in through the air vent, then you just find whatever information you can on the where-abouts of the island," Matt told him.
"And exactly where do you guys come in during this plan?" Josh snarled.
"Ummm... We stay here and keep look out," Nick said hesitantly.
"Whatever!" Josh snapped as he headed for the police station. Once he got to the wall of it, he grabbed on and started climbing up. "Stupid, good for nothing..." He started mumbling while climbing. Once he got on top, he saw the vent. He walked over to it, pulled the top off, and started climbing down it.
"I hope he'll be alright," Emily said softly.
"Don't worry Cream, he'll be fine," Nick reassured her.
"Why don't we just cal each other by our real names?" Ashley asked.
"Because you never know who could be around," Mat said to her. All of a sudden alarms started wailing from inside the building.
"Uh-Oh,' Ashley said. Then Josh came running out with cops chasing him.
"Don't let this one get away!" One yelled.
"You guys! Run!" Josh yelled to them. They all jumped out of the bushes and starting running with each other, cops and cop cars not far behind.
"Tails! Your supposed to be able to fly!" Matt yelled to Nick.
"Yeah I know, and?" Nick asked.
"Well start flying!" Matt yelled. Nick took to the skies. Matt jumped up and grabbed hold of his feet. "Hurry guys grab on!" He yelled to his other friends. Ashley grabbed onto Matt's shoes, and the Emily, and Josh.
"You guys! I'm starting to get tired, I can't go any higher!" Nick yelled.
"Cream! You can fly with your ears! Try it!" Matt yelled to her.
"I...I can't..." She said quietly.
"Come on Cream! You have to try!" Ashley said.
"Ahhh!" Josh screamed.
"Josh do you have to scr- " Matt started to say, but soon he knew what he was screaming at. They had flow right into a tree. They were all hanging off branches.
"I saw them fly this way, they can't be far," a cop holding a flashlight said.
"Keep searching for them," another said. The 5 friends kept still. Not even breathing. But of corse something had to go wrong. Josh's branch was starting to break off. The others noticed, and started to mouth to themselves, "Please don't fall," but it was too late. The branch had split in half, and josh had fallen right behind the cops, making a loud bang.
"What in the world!" The cop yelled and looked down to see a bright red echidna.
"Run!" Josh screamed. Soon the friends had started running off into the distance, leaving the cops far behind.
"So did you get any info?" Matt asked panting.
"Thanks for asking if I'm alright," Josh snapped back. "But yes, I did."
"How!" Ashley asked in amazement.
"I heard the commander talking about a lab base near West Virginia. O that must be the place," Josh told them.
"Awesome, great job Knuckles," Matt congratulated him.
"You guys, we have a problem," Nick said.
"What is it Nick?" Ashley asked.
"Emily is missing..." Nick said. Worry struck the four kid's faces.
There's chapter 8. I think it's the longest chapter so far. I hope you all enjoyed it. I know I've said it before but here it is again...REVIEW!
