Hey guys. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Well, I'm not gonna waste your time with mindless talking. Lets see what happens next!
"Yes...Ashley?" Matt asked, still staring into her eyes.
"Could do please do me a favor and let go of me!" She yelled.
"With pleasure," He said letting her hand go, she then fell over once he let go.
"Ow! I meant when I was up!" She yelled, taking her hammer out.
"Oh well, lets find where Eggman is. He must be close, seeing he just shot us with another bomb. They started running off in the direction that the bomb came at them. Soon, they reached Eggman, along with Nick and Emily.
"Where is Josh you creep!" Matt yelled.
"Mwahaha, I see that you fools managed to make it aboard my marvelous fortress!" Eggman said to them. "Don't worry about your friend, I can assure he will not be harmed, at least until I get what I want."
"Why do you think that he has an emerald?" Nick yelled.
"Yeah, we can honestly say that we have never found one of them," Emily told him.
"My radar brought me right to him, the thing doesn't lie you know. Now, E-102, come here!" Eggman shouted. A big robot came walking out to him.
"I see his creativity is as great as ever," Matt joked to the others.
"Destroy these little pests, and don't let me down!" He told the robot.
"Yes Master Robotnik," the robot replied.
"Hahaha, farewell Freedom Fighters!" Eggman yelled, as he started flying away in his machine.
"What do we do?" Nick asked, while looking at the robot. The robot then lifted it's arm, and started firing bullets at them!
"We fight!" Matt said dodging the bullets. He then jumped into the air, and flew at the robot. He sent it flying a little ways. Nick was next, he flew up to the robot, and pressed his bracelet that he had gotten the night before and pressed the button. Once again, his arm was covered with metal, and a ball of energy shot out at it. Emily kicked it.
"Take this," the robot said, and he shot bullets in every direction possible.
"Look out guys!" Nick yelled while ducking. Matt decided this little fight had gone on long enough, he stood up and ran over to the robot. He jumped up high and came crashing down on him.
"Hows that?" Matt asked, smirking.
"Initiating recovery mode," the robot stated, as it began to shut down.
"That was...weird," Ashley said to the others.
"Alright, you guys go find Knuckles, Tails and I will look for Eggman!" Matt told the others. They started running in different directions.
"Where do you think he is?" Matt asked him.
"I don't know, lets look in there," Nick said, pointing to a door. They walked up to it, and to there surprise, it opened for them.
"He really went all out on this ship," Matt remarked.
"Yeah," Nick said, not really paying attention. He was looking at the room they had just entered. It was the control room. They just looked around at all of the complex controls.
"This is amazing," Nick said to himself. Then, Matt saw something that caught his eye. It was the picture that Eggman had hung up, a few weeks ago. Matt examined it, then gasped.
"Nick, take a look at this," Matt said. Nick walked over and gasped along with him.
"That kid...in the picture,he goes to our school," Nick said.
"Yeah, it's Greg Damon," Matt said, still looking at it.
"Do you think this means that, Eggman is, his father?" Nick asked.
"I'm not sure, he is in the picture with him, the whole family is," Matt said, right after a flashback popped into his mind, of the very first day back at school, after they had gotten the powers.
"Dude I'm sorry your dad left this weekend."
"Yeah, me too, all he did was leave a note saying that he had plans. He hasn't called since then or anything,"
It was all going together now.
"Nick, I remember, the Monday we went to school, after we got these powers, I heard Greg Damon, and Eric Anderson talking. Greg was saying how his dad had left his family that weekend. This makes sense now..." Matt said. He did feel bad for Greg now. He had known him for a few years, and he felt bad that his father left him, and on top of that, is a complete maniac!
"Do you think that Greg knows his father is Eggman?" Nick asked.
"He must, I'm sure he changed his look a little bit, so people wouldn't know exactly who he is, but Greg must have noticed, it's his father," Matt answered. There was about 10 more seconds of silence as they looked at the picture. "Well, he's not here, so we better go look somewhere else."
"Right," Nick responded. They walked out and continued their search. Ashley and Emily also continued their search for Josh.
"Where do you think he is?" Emily asked.
"I don't know, but this ship is so huge, how are we ever going to find him?" Ashley wondered aloud. They then saw a robot walk into a room. "Hey, lets follow that robot." Emily agreed and they started following, but staying far behind. After following for about 5 minutes, Emily finally said something.
"Do you think he is even going anywhere? Or just roaming around?" She asked.
"Lets follow it for a few minutes more, it's better than trying to find our own way around," Ashley whispered back. Toe robot then entered another room. It was a room full of cells.
"I am here to obtain the emerald," the robot spoke. It was talking to Josh, who was in one of the cells.
"I will not give it up!" Josh yelled.
"Then we will have to do this the hard way," the robot said, while holding it's arm up.
"I suppose we do have to do it he hard way!" Ashley yelled as she jumped out at the robot. The robot tried to shoot her, but it was to late. She had already whammed it into the wall with her piko piko hammer.
"Guys! How did you find me!" Josh asked.
"We followed th robot, Sonic and Tails went off to find Eggman," Ashley told him.
"The keys are over there," Josh said pointing across to the other wall.
"Alright, we will let you out, as soon as you tell us about this Chaos Emerald you have," Ashley said.
"(Sigh) Fine, remember last night when we were fighting those pilots in the air?" He asked.
"Yes," Ashley and Emily answered at the same time.
"And you remember that watch I got from the lab?" Josh asked.
"Yes,"they answered again.
"Well..." He pushed the "Storage" button on the watch, and out came the emerald.
"That's beautiful!" Emily said once seeing the emerald.
"But, I don't understand what the fight in th sky has to do with this?" Ashley asked.
"Thats where I found my emerald. In the very last plane I grabbed it before I destroyed it," he explained.
"Well, why didn't you tell us about it?"Emily asked.
"I don't know...something just told me to keep it to myself..." He said.
"And look how that turned out for you," Ashley said to him.
"I know...I'm sorry guys. Do you forgive me?" He asked.
"Fine, but for now on, if you wanna be part of this team, you have to be honest with us. That goes for everyone, including Sonic and Tails," Ashley told him.
"Deal," he said smiling. They let him out and went outside of the Egg Carrier again. There they saw Matt and Nick.
"Did you find Eggman?" Emily asked.
"No, we have no clue where that creep went," Matt said. "But I see you guys had better luck with rescuing Knuckles."
"Yeah, in fact, he has a little story to tell you guys on the way home," Ashley said grinning at Josh.
"We found something out about Eggman too, he's really-" Nick was cut off.
"Did someone say my name?" Eggman said as he hovered above them.
"Eggman..." Matt said to himself. He pressed a button on his machine and a laser popped out.
"Now, if you value your lives, hand over that emerald," he threatened them.
"You want it? Take it," Josh said as he threw it to him.
"Josh!" Nick yelled.
"What? All that thing has done is cause problems for me," Josh said.
"I'm glad you are all here, to witness the next transformation of Chaos!" Eggman yelled. Chaos then came up from the ground. "Eat up Chaos!" He threw him two emeralds, and he grew even bigger than before! He didn't have any legs though, he was just floating in the air. He looked like a big fish.
"How could that be?" Emily asked.
"The power of the emeralds is a powerful thing, but only when the person using them knows how to control them," Eggman told her. "Now Chaos, attack them!"
"What should we do?" Emily asked.
"Run!" Nick shouted.
I think that's a good place to leave off at. If you guys have any ideas for the story, such as things I should add, change, or whatever, please let me know. I would love to hear them. So, until next time...REVIEW!
