Chapter 6: The Last Sign

12:00-

There, alone, Knuckles sat. He knew he couldn't sleep with all the breathing outside. Then he heard footsteps, getting louder and louder. Then, a silhouette of a man appeared out side the tent, and then, Knuckles saw the zipper of the tent slowly go up and the entrance flew open! Then a lanky man with red eyes entered the tent.

"I know that's you in a costume, guys" said Knuckles crossing his arms "You can't scare me"

Then, the man grabbed Knuckles by the arm and yanked him out of the tent!

Meanwhile in the forest…

"Twelve ooooooo' one" said Sonic looking at his watch "Okay, guys the ghost passed"

"Good" said Tails "Lets go"

"Let's wait for Amoeba to get done doing his business, then we go" said Sonic

"Sonic" said Shadow "Amoeba's been 'doing his business' for 13 minutes"

"Niagara Falls is falling fall fall" sang Amoeba "Wait, till the Falls stop falling fall fall" Then he got back to the rest and said "Hey, guys, I'm all done"

"Good, 'cause I ain't staying here any longer" said Sonic "Your making me wanna go pee"

When they got back to the tent, they noticed the entrance was unzipped and Knuckles was gone.

"Maybe he had to use the bathroom and left before Fredric de' Ontario got him" said Shadow.

Then they heard Knuckles' voice in the distance saying "You know you guys can't scare me, I'm smarter than that"

"Or maybe the ghost got him" said Sonic "come on Sonic Team, let's go"

Sonic and Shadow went into the forest at super speed as Tails flew behind them carrying Amoeba "Gee, Amoeba, you need to lose some weight" said Tails. Then they reached the gravestone, but this time it had a hole in it. And down the hole they can hear Knuckles' voice swearing and cursing at the ghost still thinking it's Sonic, Tails, Amoeba, and Shadow.

"Well" said Shadow "we tried. Poor Knuckles, I knew him well"

"Sonic" said Tails "What do we do?"

"Why, we're going Knuckles fishing" said Sonic "And Amoeba's the bait"

"Careful, Sonic, you don't want to scare 'the fish" Chuckled Tails.

They tied Amoeba in rope and lured him down with a giant fishing rod.

"Be careful Amoeba" said Shadow

They lured Amoeba lower and lower until they couldn't see him.

"It's dark down here, guys" said Amoeba's voice as it echoed to the surface.

"I bet it is" said Sonic.

Then a large pull tried to yank them in.

"Whoa, looks like we got ourselves a whopper" said Sonic.

Then, they all got yanked inside the hole, deeper and darker, deeper and darker, deeper and floor. They hit the floor with a thud. They got up, but Amoeba was nowhere to be found. Sonic got out a flashlight and found a hallway.

"Come on, guys" said Sonic "Let's go down this hallway"

They went down the hallway, deeper, and deeper, and deeper, then…

"Oops" said Sonic looking down "Shoes untied"

As Sonic bended down to tie his shoe, his flashlight shone on the wall revealing tens of thousands of skeletons. Tails, acting in fear, jumped on top of Sonic.

"Do you mind" said Sonic

"S-sonic" said Tails "L-look on the w-wall"

Sonic shone his flashlight on the wall revealing those skeletons again.

"Oh, come on, Tails" said Sonic comforting Tails "It's only skeletons, nothing to fear, they won't move"

"Yeah" said Shadow "nothing scary about the dead, deceased, u-unliving. Wow that is scary"

They continued down the hallway, more deeper, until out of nowhere, BUMP, they hit something.

"Ow" said Sonic "What was that?"

Sonic shone his flashlight to reveal the ghost of Fredric de' Ontario.

"AAAAAAAAGH, GHOST" screamed Tails

"AAAAAAAAGH, CANADIAN" screamed Shadow

"What did you do with Knuckles and Amoeba" said Sonic

Nothing

"Not talking, eh" said Sonic "well, eat some of this!"

Sonic ran toward the ghost, but the ghost grabbed him by the neck and threw him on the ceiling so hard that he reached the surface and landed at the camp site.

"TAILS, KNUCKLES, AMOEBA, SHADOW" screamed Sonic "NOOOOOOOO! I…I failed. And it's all my fault. Well, technically it's Knuckles' fault because he didn't listen in the first place" Sonic sobbed for 12 seconds

"Wait! There's still another chance to save them, and this is my biggest and only shot"
