Hey guys. I hope you all liked chapter 15. Here's chapter 16. Enjoy!
"Get back here Eggman!" Matt yelled.
"Take this!" Eggman yelled back, as he threw a bomb at them!
"Watch out guys!" Ashley yelled to her two flying friends. But there wasn't enough time. The bomb had exploded, sending the four heroes to fall, high from the sky, and into the city streets.
"wha, what happened?" Matt asked while rubbing his head. He stood up to see a huge hole in the ground, where he had fallen. He was in an ally. He looked next to him and saw his friends were still out cold. "Guys!" He yelled, rushing towards them. "Wake up!" He said shaking Emily.
"Matt?" Emily asked, slightly starting to wake up.
"Are you okay?" Matt asked.
"I...I think so. What happened?" She asked.
"Eggman hit us with that bomb so he could get away with Knuckles. But, I don't know why he thought that Knuckles had an emerald," Matt answered. The other two happened to wake up then.
"You guys? Where are we?" Ashley asked.
"My head hurts so bad," Nick said.
"Are you guys alright?" Emily asked.
"I guess, but...I don't understand how we could have survived a crash like that," Nick answered.
"Lets think about that later, right now, we gotta find Eggman, and save Knuckles!" Matt yelled.
"Right!" Ashley said. The four started running off into the city.
"Do you guys even know what way he took of in?" Emily asked.
"Of course, that way," the three answered at the same time, all pointing in different directions.
"Well, were screwed," Ashley said. Matt was going to tell her to stay positive, but just then, the entire city went dark. People looked up in the sky and gasped in amazement. There was a massive ship hovering right above the city!
"Thats gotta be Eggman!" Matt exclaimed.
"Hey every, it's the Freedom Fighters, the ones that have gonna be all over the news!" A teenage boy screamed. People all started running over to them.
"What do they want with us!" Emily yelled over the screaming people.
"I saw on t.v that they are offering $200 for each of us if were captured!" Nick screamed.
"Run!" Ashley yelled. The two started running away from the crowd. It wasn't that hard, they did have super speed after all.
"That was close," Matt said while they were hiding in an ally.
"Yeah, now what?" Nick asked.
"And your supposed to be the smartest one?" Ashley said. "We go and save Knuckles."
"How are we supposed to get to that ship!" Emily asked.
"Yeah, it's to high up for them to fly us up," Ashley said.
"You guys, did you forget how we got here?" Matt asked.
"The Tornado!" We have to get back to it!" Nick yelled.
"Freeze freaks!" A man screamed.
"Yeah, and I think now would be a good time to get back," Matt said once seeing the crowd again. They ran back to the SEGA building and went all the way up to the roof.
"Alright guys, hop in!" Nick said as they ran towards the Tornado. Matt was the only one on the wings this time, Ashley got the spare seat.
"Floor it Tails," Matt said. And with that, the plane was off.
"There they go!" A women yelled. The crowd started yelling at them as they flew high above them.
"Why is everyone after us all the time?" Ashley asked.
"Because, the government wants to do experiments on us," Nick told her.
"Well, they won't catch us anyways, so it doesn't matter," She responded.
"Don't be so sure Amy, they caught me one time, and Eggman just caught Knuckles," Emily said. Within a few minutes, they were nearing the flying aircraft, when all of a sudden a loud voice was booming in their ears.
"Citizens of Earth, My name is Dr.Robotnik, the world's greatest scientist. Witness my marvelous flying machine, known as the Egg Carrier. Now, I am giving you all two options. One: You bow down to me, as ruler of the world. Two: I could have the God of Destruction destroy all those who don't bow down to me!" Eggman's voice echoed trough out the city.
"This is just too weird, why would he name his machine after the one in the games?" Matt asked.
"Well, he probably lacks creativity, so he copies everything from the games," Ashley guessed. But they didn't have any more time to continue the conversation.
"Hold on tight guys, were landing this puppy!" Nick yelled.
"If you ever say that again, I'll kill you," Ashley joked. They landed the Tornado and hopped out.
"This thing is huge! How are we ever going to find Knuckles?" Emily asked.
"Well, the best thing we could do is to split up," Nick answered.
"Alright, Me and Amy will go this way, and you guys go that way," Matt said.
"It starts at this, they go to save Knuckles together, then they get married, things are turning out like the games," Emily joked
"When we get back, I'm whacking you with the hammer!" Ashley yelled to her as they ran off in different directions.
"I don't know why Emily wants us to hook up so much," Matt said.
"Yeah, I know, doesn't she know that were just best friends?" Ashley asked. Just then, Matt looked up and saw another bomb heading right for him and Ashley!
"Amy look out!" He yelled as he jumped and pushed her out of the way. Luckily it missed them both. He stood up, holding her hand helping her up. They stared deeply into each other's eyes.
"Matt..." She said quietly.
