Chapter 3: Race Day
Tails woke up in the park feeling a lot better than the night before
He had dreamed about Cream and his promise to her
'She's going to think I ditched her' thought Tails sadly
He knew the rest of their friends would miss them as well
Rouge had been dating Knuckles even thought their relationship was "rough" so she would miss them
Sonic still had to race and fight Shadow to figure out who was best
Chaotix would miss them since they needed Tails to rebuild their house after and accident involving Charmy and a missile launcher
And Amy would have no one to chase or marry
But at least they were safe… so far
He was glad he took Sonics advice maybe now he could figure out what had happened with a refreshed mind
Tails got up and yawned the stretched then looked around and saw Knuckles snoring nearby but no Sonic
"Oh no! Don't tell me he ran off on a strange world when we are suppose to be hiding" said Tails thinking he was an idiot for not expecting this to happen
He ran over to Knuckles and shook him awake
"Knuckles wake up we've got a problem Sonic ran off" said Tails violently shaking the very heavy sleeper
"Ugggh what?" said Knuckles groggily trying to wake up more
"Sonic ran off Knuckles, he could be in trouble" said Tails again
"You worry too much Tails he'll probably be back soon, couldn't you tell he'd try something like this?" asked Knuckles with a yawn
Tails just sighed looked down and mumbled under his breath "Knuckles knew too?"
"Hey fellas what's up" they heard
They both turned to see Sonic lounging on the Tornado 3 sipping a soda and reading a newspaper
"Sonic we're suppose to stay together" said Tails
"We don't know what's on this world or how dangerous it is" he continued as Sonic sipped the soda
"Sorry Tails I just took a quick run, only a few people saw me and I was going so fast they probably thought they where seeing things or wet themselves" said Sonic
"Besides I don't think we'll be able to hide long; we're already in the newspaper" he said calmly
"What?" said Tails
"Here look" said Sonic as he tossed the newspaper to Knuckles
The headline was
STRANGE LIGHT SEEN OVER CITY, GOVERNMENT BLAMES SWAMP GAS
"Wow that has to be the worst lie I ever read, who would believe this garbage?" said Knuckles reading the paper
"I saw a few parts of the city" said Sonic
"It looks alright to me but there's one thing I can't figure out" he then pointed to what looked like a massive road being held above them
"What that is" he said looking at the road
Tails and Knuckles looked up and saw that the massive road was over a lot of the city as well
"Wow that thing's huge! How dose it stay up?" said Knuckles in disbelief
"I wonder what they use it for" said Tails being a techno geek he was amazed at the engineering feat
"Let's go check it out" said Sonic wondering if he could run fast on it
"Fine by me I'm looking for some excitement anyway" agreed Knuckles
Tails would normally have insisted that they stay and figure out how to get home but extreme engineering was too tempting for him to pass up
"We're going to have to use fly formation, people will see us in the plane" said Tails
"But fists lets get our stuff" he then got into the plane and rummaged around a bit
He passed Sonic his light shoes and threw Knuckles blue treasure hunting sunglasses that included TV, radio, and many scanners
Tails grabbed his jet shoes
"We ready to go?" Tails asked
Both Sonic and Knuckles nodded
Sonic grabbed onto Tails' legs while Knuckles grabbed onto Sonic's
When all three where in position Tails spun his Tails at full speed and took off onto the air heading for the mysterious road in the sky
Team Satomi Garage
Meanwhile Takashi and Amy enjoyed lying around watching TV and talking until Amy looked at the clock on the wall
"Wow is it that late already? It's nearly time for the race" she said noting the time to Takashi
"Let's go or else Satomi will have our heads if we're late" said Takashi as he and Amy walked out the door and headed to the garage
When they got there they found Liz already changed
"Haven't seen him all day right?" said Liz to Amy accusingly
"I ran into him after you left" said Amy nervously while Liz glared at Takashi for a moment then turned away
"Fine whatever" said Liz her back turned
Takashi and Amy both went to get changed
Takashi came out first because Amy had to get Luca into her suit as well
Takashi saw he and Liz where alone and decided he might as well get it over with
"Um Liz" he said nervously
"Yeah what?" asked Liz moodily her back still turned
"I just wanted to say I was sorry about what happened yesterday" said Takashi
Liz said nothing her back still turned
Takashi sighed
"Would it help if I said I was a complete idiot yesterday?" he offered
"That was all you had to say" in a satisfied tone finally turning around to face Takashi
"I guess I need to lay off a little on the speed" said Takashi
"Yeah you dork" said Liz
It was one of the few things they ever agreed on
"Are you two done now?" asked Amy coming out of the changing room in her white racing suit with Luca in her arms also in her racing cat sized suit
"Yeah" said Liz
"Now let's go out there and win this race" said Takashi
"Alright" Amy and Liz said at the same time with a smile of anticipation on their faces
All three of them went out into the garage where the mechs where ready and waiting
"Be careful out there today, Team Sledge Mamma's been brutal recently, they nearly knocked a enemy mech off the track last week" said Mark over the radio as they got into their mechs and got powered up
"We'll be careful don't worry" said Takashi
"Wow you hear that, he said WE, he's actually starting to notice he's on a team" said Liz
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Takashi offended
"Knock it off you two you have no time to be fighting each other focus on fighting the other team" said Andrei over the radio
"Fine" said Liz in defeat
"This race is so mine" said Takashi
"Do you always have to say that?" asked Liz annoyed because he said that at the start of every race
"Here we go again" said Amy with a sigh
"More than likely we're going to end up in a wreck, the hospital, the morgue, or all three" said Luca
"Well aren't you optimistic" said Amy sarcastically
"Nope just realistic" Luca answered back
They then walked their mechs onto the track next to Team Sledge Mammas' mechs which had gotten there earlier
"Ready for a beating?" Yamma sneered
"That depends you ready to receive one?" replied Takashi
With Team Sonic
Back with Team Sonic Tails had found some sort of stadium and was flying over it
"Wait a second" said Sonic realizing something
"This is a race track!" he said while looking at the track like a kid would look at a new toy; he was resisting the urge to let go and start racing at top speed on it
Tails could see this
"Let's find somewhere to land" said Tails
"Yeah before Sonic freaks out and lets go" said Knuckles which would be bad since he was hanging onto Sonic's legs
He landed way in the back of the stadium up on top of the seats where no one would notice them
"Wow this is amazing" said Knuckles amazed at the huge race track in front of them.
Sonic was busy looking at the track with anticipation
"Hey look it's Amy" said Tails
"WHERE!" said Sonic as he dove to the ground put his hands on top of his head and looked around for the pink hedgehog girl expecting an attack from anywhere
"Up there" said Tails pointing to the huge screen on a blimp over the track that now had a picture of a brown haired boy, a younger light brown haired girl with a cat, and a older dark skinned girl with red hair all of them where in white armored racing suits
The sign said
TEAM SATOMI
FORWARD: TAKASHI
MIDFEILDER: AMY AND LUCA
DEFENDER: LIZ
"I guess that's who's racing to day" said Knuckles as Sonic got to his feet
"How are they going to do that they don't look very fast" said Sonic
"Look down there" said Tails pointing at the track that now had six giant robots on it
"I guess they use those robots to race" said Knuckles
Tails was now very excited he loved robots…. well when they weren't trying to kill him anyway and he was amazed by the racing robots
Their design was what he was looking for to transform the Tornado 3 into a giant fighting robot if only he could get at one of them and open it up he could discover so much
He also liked how they looked too Team Satomi's had the same paint job and almost the same insignia as his planes
"Wow this looks like it's going to be a good race today folks Team Satomi VS Team Sledge Mamma again lets hope Team Satomi does better than last time Team Sledge Mamma has been taking no prisoners lately" said the announcer over the stadium intercom
"Race! Did he say race! I gotta get in on this let's party" said Sonic diving for the track but being stopped by Knuckles grabbing his arm
"We can't, look around, there are cameras everywhere and we can't be seen "said Knuckles pointing to the big screen and several of the cameras
"We're going to have to just watch this time" said Tails
"Fine" said Sonic in defeat wishing he could jump onto the track and lap those robots several times
After about five minutes of waiting the announcer came on
"Alright folks it's time to race!" he announced
Just then a buzzer went off and the mechs went flying down the tracks in a hail of sparks
"Wow! So that's how they do it! They grind" said Tails wondering how the robots where going to move at high speed for the last five minutes
"Please I can do better than that" said Sonic crossing his arms
"Don't think about it" warned Knuckles
On the Track
The first lap of the race was pretty uneventful for Takashi
He and the rest of the team stayed behind Team Sledge Mamma for the first lap
They had agreed to wait until the second round, the battle round to make their move
"Remember Takashi stay in formation" said Liz over the radio for the ten or twelfth time
"Really? I didn't know that" said Takashi just to make Liz mad
"Quit fooling around and focus on the race you dork!" she said finding the joke not funny
"Alright race fans here comes the second lap, the battle round" called out the announcer
"Everyone be on guard" said Amy and Luca in a synchronized voice
"Let's stick with the plan" said Liz
"Beat them senseless and take the lead?" asked Takashi
"Yup" said Liz with a smile of anticipation on her face
"We shouldn't have let Liz come up with our strategy" said Amy and Luca sighing
(I don't know why, that plan always works for me)
They quickly got into battle formation as did Team Sledge Mamma except instead them having three mechs they had two
"What's going on?" asked Takashi not expecting this
"Team Sledge Mamma had a plan; they sent their forward up the track while the other two stayed behind to slow you down if you can't beat them fast he'll have too much of a lead and they'll take first place" said Mark over the radio watching the race from the control room
"What do we do? We have to catch up to him" said Amy and Luca
In her mech Liz thought as much as she hated to have to do this she had to
"Takashi go after him" she said regretfully
"What?" asked Takashi amazed Liz actually said that after complaining so much about him running off
"Go on ahead we can take on these two you need to make sure that they don't get too big a lead" said Liz in an angry tone
"You sure?" asked Takashi
"Yes" said Liz in an annoyed tone
"Fine but don't blame me if we lose" said Takashi as he shot forward easily getting by Team Sledge Mammas slower defender and midfielder
"I ALLREADY DO!" yelled Liz as he went flying down the track
"Be careful" said Amy knowing their was little chance of that
With Team Sonic
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles watched the race on the big screen from their hiding spot
They could tell this was going to be a good race
Sonic could tell this particularly since his entire life was racing and going fast
Sonic could tell the Team Satomi forward felt just like him about racing just by the way he raced
He could tell by how he controlled his speed perfectly and how well he took the corners he truly loved the sport and loved the speed just like him
"Wow they're moving almost as fast as us!" said Tails watching the screen closely, amazed that any robot besides Omega could be that fast
"Looks like a battle's going on between the four left behind and the two out front are really moving, the blue and yellow one almost caught up with the blue and white one" said Knuckles watching the screen as the larger blue and yellow one blocked a punch from the large blue and white one and counter attacked with a high punch to the enemy robot's head
"The smaller fighting ones are really hammering each other" said Tails watching how fierce the battle was between Amy and the opposing midfielder
"It almost looks like they want to kill each other" he continued
"Well the blue and white one does anyway" said Knuckles also noticing now how hard he was attacking the younger girl's mech
"Guys I don't think that one's playing around" said Sonic in a serious tone getting to his feet
After all his battles with Shadow and his practice fights with him Sonic had learned to sense when an opponent wanted you dead
He could see that the ferocity of the opponent's attacks was not determination to win
He wanted to hurt her
On the Track
Back out on the track things where not looking good for Team Satomi
Takashi had almost caught up to Sledge Mammas forward
"Here I come" he yelled to Yamma over the radio
"Come and get me you and your friends aren't going to win and your friends might have worse things happen to them" Yamma said in an evil tone
"What?" asked Takashi worried by what that could mean
Meanwhile back with Amy and Liz Timma was hammering on Amy just as she had predicted
"Wow they're coming on strong this time" Amy said as she dodged a punch and threw one of her own but it was blocked
"Just stay focused and pray Takashi doesn't screw up" said Liz as she was nearly hit by a upper cut from Dimma and countered with a with a punch to Dimma's mechs torso
Just then a surprise sucker punch sent hit Amy and set her off balance making her crash into the guard rails
"Amy!" yelled Liz.
"Say goodbye to the girl and cat" said Timma as he went straight at Amy's mech and hit it with a punch so strong that Amy hit her head hard on the inside of the mech and sent her mech flying over the side of the track
"AMY!" yelled Liz but Amy couldn't hear her because she was already starting to black out from the hit to the head
With Team Sonic
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles saw this on the screen
"Oh no!" yelled Tails seeing the girl's mech start to plummet to the ground
"Tails, Knuckles!" Sonic yelled out
Tails and Knuckles knew what to do
They grabbed Sonic's hands and got ready for what they knew was coming
Hiding or not they had to save that girl
Sonic's heels started to grow bright green
"LIGHT DASH!" Sonic called out
Then he, Tails, and Knuckles went flying through the air at impossible speed
The light dash move allows Sonic to travel near the speed of light
He used it when he didn't want to waste Chaos control, but he could only use it for so long
Sonic was moving so fast he could actually run on air
The rest of the world was just a blur standing still to him at that speed
Even the robot falling to the ground seemed to be stuck in midair
They headed straight toward the falling mech and in under a second they had reached it
"Tails get the girl" yelled Sonic as they where free falling to the ground at high speed
"Leave it to me" Tails said giving Sonic a thumbs up
Tails flew around to where the door was to the robot and pulled it open
There he saw the girl
She looked weak and like she was slowly passing out he also saw a cat meowing franticly he could only carry the girl so he yelled to Sonic "There's someone else inside I can only carry one you got to stop the robot"
Tails then pulled the girl out of the robot, grabbed her, and began to hover carrying her in his arms while Sonic and Knuckles tried to figure out how to stop the robot while falling at 240 miles an hour toward the ground.
"Knuckles I'll slow it down with the blue tornado you get ready to catch it on the ground" Sonic yelled out to Knuckles
"Alright" said Knuckles he then glided straight down to the ground at high speed so he could get into position
Sonic curled up into a ball and began to spin in a circle around the mech at high speed building up speed
After a few seconds he was moving so fast that the wind going around him formed a blue tornado
The winds from the tornado slowed the falling robot down but didn't stop it but that was all that was needed thought Sonic so that Knuckles could catch it without being crushed
Knuckles landed heavily in a large alleyway where the robot was going to land
"Good there's plenty of room for the robot and there's no one around to see us" said Knuckles looking around
He then looked up to see that the robot had been slowed down enough by Sonic so he could catch it
He then positioned himself directly under the falling robot and braced himself for impact
Knuckles put up his hands and caught the robot just as it came crashing down
Thanks to his super strength it wasn't that bad
He put the robot down gently and headed over to the robot's hatch
He pulled it open accidentally tearing it off in the process he threw the door away and looked inside
"Hello anyone in here?" he called into the robot
"I thought Tails said someone else was in here?" said Knuckles scratching his head
Just then a cat came flying out of the robot tackling Knuckles to the ground and began licking Knuckles thanking him for saving him
"Hey ha ha stop that, it ha ha tickles" said Knuckles laughing as the cat continued to lick him
Sonic landed a few feet away and looked at the scene and laughed
"Hey Knuckles see you made a new friend" said Sonic laughing a little bit
"Very funny, that's the other person that was in the robot that Tails was talking about. Now lets get back to the track it looks like that's where Tails took that girl" said Knuckles as he finally got the cat off him.
"All right I'll have us there in no time with this" said Sonic pulling out a glowing white jewel
"A Chaos Emerald! Where did you get that?" asked Knuckles
"I took it out of the Tornado this morning, I thought I might need it in case of a emergency" said Sonic tossing the emerald into the air a few times
"Lets hurry then" said Knuckles heading over to Sonic
Sonic grabbed Knuckles hand raised the jewel above his head and yelled "CHAOS CONTROL!"
He and Knuckles disappeared in a flash of light leaving Luca with the robot in the alleyway
With Amy and Tails
Amy was barely awake as her mech fell
Everything was blurry to her
She then saw something open the hatch of her mech she though she was just seeing things
She couldn't see clearly what it was
All of a sudden she felt something lift her out of her mech the next thing she knew she was flying
At the time her thinking wasn't clear but she thought since she was now flying when she had been falling to the ground five seconds before
'I'm dead, so this is what it's like I thought it would hurt more' was her conclusion
She then looked up to see something holding onto her
"Hold on you're going to be ok" it said
"Ok" she said back with a smile on her face just as she blacked out
On the Track
They reappeared on the track just as Tails arrived with the girl in his arms
He went and hovered next to Sonic and Knuckles
"Tails is she ok?" asked Sonic
"I think she's alright, she hit her head and blacked out on the way up, I think we should get her to a doctor or something and fast just in case" said Tails in a worried tone
"Yeah and we need to teach those cheaters a lesson" said Knuckles cracking his fists
"Alright Tails you hold onto the girl and follow us we'll head back to the stadium and drop her off there" said Sonic
"Leave it to me" said Tails seriously
"We'll also take care of those cheaters on the way, Tails since you can't fight while carrying her leave it to me and Knuckles" continued Sonic
"Also hold onto this for me" said Sonic passing Tails the chaos emerald
Tails caught it and nodded
"Alright guys lets show those cheaters they're not going to get away with this, Lets blast through with Sonic speed!" yelled Sonic
"OK!" yelled Tails
"All right!" yelled Knuckles as they started moving down the track at insane speed looking just like a blue, red, and yellow blur
Team Satomi Control Room
Meanwhile in the Team Satomi control room everyone was sad or in a sate of shock and horror since they did not see what Sonic had done they thought Amy had fallen to her death
"I can't believe she's gone" said Jesse tears in her eyes
Even Satomi was had tears in her eyes
Mark put his head down on his keyboard and put his hands on his head and was about to break out in tears when he looked up at his screen and saw something that was not possible
"What! That can't be right" he said looking closely at the screen
"What can't be right?" asked Jesse
"According to our sensors in Amy's mech her mech is still intact" said Mark now typing on his keyboard checking different sensors
"What! No way! A mech can't survive a fall like that" said Andrei in disbelief
"There must be something wrong with the sensors" said Satomi
"We're still picking up Amy's vital signs!" yelled Mark looking at a screen that had Amy and Luca's heart rate on it
"What!" everyone yelled as they went to look at the screen
"Um guys we got another problem" said Andrei looking at a big screen
"What is it" asked Satomi wondering what else could be going on
"That" answered Andrei pointing to the big screen that now showed a blue, yellow, and red blur moving down the track toward the mechs going almost 600 miles an hour
On the Track
Sonic, Tails and, Knuckles went flying around the track at twice the speed of the mechs and where catching up to them easily
Even Tails who was carrying Amy could easily fly at that speed
They where approaching the remaining Satomi mech and the two Sledge Mamma mechs
"Sonic you and Tails go on ahead and handle that one that's in the lead I'll stay behind and help the one that's out numbered" said Knuckles as they ran though a tight corner easily
"Ok take them out quickly and catch up to us when you can, come on Tails we'll handle that guy in the lead" said Sonic
"Be careful Knuckles" said Tails
"Pease I can handle these weaklings by myself" said Knuckles giving Tails a thumbs up
Sonic and Tails passed by the robots and headed down the track while Knuckles approached the three robots
With Takashi
Meanwhile Takashi and Liz where still in shock from what had happened
"Amy" Takashi said sadly Liz just cried
"Guys come in" said Mark urgently over the radio "We're still picking up Amy's vitals, she's still alive!"
"What?" asked Takashi
"How is that possible?" asked both in shock
"That's not all something is heading straight towards Liz" said Andrei
"Another mech?" asked Takashi
"No we don't know what it is but it's going over 600" said Andrei
"That's not possible" said Liz "Nothing on the ground can move that fast"
"Liz you'll see it in a second" came Mark's voice over the radio
Just then a streak of blue and yellow passed Liz, Timma, and Dimma
"What was that!" yelled Timma regaining control of his mech from the high winds the blue and yellow blur had left behind
"I don't know" said Dimma
Then all three of them where sent off balance by another wind except this time the blur was red and it stopped and kept pace with them
Then it turned around and Liz couldn't believe what she saw
It was a small red creature with dreadlocks; its entire body was red except for its tan muzzle and a white crescent shaped patch of fur on his chest, it had blue sunglasses on its head and had on red and yellow shoes
Then Liz noticed his fists they where huge with spikes coming out of the knuckles and he was wearing white gloves with no holes for the fingers
Knuckles got in front of the robots on the track and turned around and ran backwards, a trick he had learned from Sonic
He then pointed at the dazed Sedge Mamma mechs and made a "bring it on" gesture with his hand
Timma and Dimma where too dazed to attack so Knuckles decided to snap them out of it
He jumped straight at the Timma's mech and gave it a powerful backhand that was not only a sign of disrespect but thanks to Knuckles spikes and super strength it knocked the mech's head clean off
After that the two pilots came to their senses and began to attack Knuckles
Timma who was in front pf Dimma sent a punch right at Knuckles who just grabbed his arm and tossed Timma right over his head and slammed him into the track hard and held him there
Dimma threw a punch at Knuckles who let go of Timma, caught the fist, and ripped the mech's arm off
Knuckles then jumped up while holding the arm and began to beat Dimma's mech with it relentlessly
After about ten seconds of this he then brought the hand down on the mech so hard its legs broke and he came skidding to a halt
Knuckles now turned his attention to Timma who had regained control after falling behind due to Knuckles attack and had barely dodged Dimma crashing down the track
Knuckles ran forward at top speed toward Timma jumped in the air and slammed his fist into the mech's torso so hard that his mech's arms and legs tore off as his mech was sent flying down the track at high speed
Liz who had been watching all of this was in shock she couldn't believe what had just happened
A small red creature that was probably only as big as a child had taken down two mechs single handedly
By what she saw he did it with what she recognized as martial arts moves
The creature then moved in front of her gave her a thumbs up and then turned around and headed up the track at high speed leaving her way behind
"What was that thing?" asked Liz as she watched it move down the track at high speed
Meanwhile up the track Sonic and Tails had finally caught up with Takashi and Yamma
Up the Track
Sonic went flying down the track after the two in the lead
He caught up to them half a minute later just as they went over a bump in the road and got airborne for a second
Sonic hit the bump at full speed and was launched high into the air
He then curled into a ball and did a homing attack straight at the Yamma's mech which sent the mech slamming into the ground
Sonic jumped up and landed on the shoulder of Takashi's mech
Takashi felt him land
'What was that?' he thought as he felt the bump
Sonic then pointed to Yamma's mech which was now getting back to its feet
"You and your team are not getting away with what you've done" he announced heroically
He then jumped off Takashi's mech and called out
"BLUE TORNADO!"
He then curled into a ball and began to spin around Yamma's mech getting faster and faster causing a lot of strong wind
Takashi looked at what was happening in disbelief
Whatever that thing was it was fast enough to keep up with the mechs and move around like that
He was even move amazed that whatever the blue blur was it was getting faster
Sonic spun around until he had created a blue tornado around Yamma's mech
"What is this?" Yamma yelled in horror Sonic then landed on top of Yamma's mech
"Have a nice trip" he said to the robot's face before jumping off
He did a front flip and hit the track running
He kept pace and watched the show
Sonic loved watching enemies get hit by his blue tornado
Takashi looked in amazement as Yamma's mech came off the ground and was sent flying into the air and landed somewhere behind him with a loud bang
"Whoa! What is that thing?" he said in disbelief
Sonic then went in front of Takashi's mech and began to run backwards still going over three hundred miles an hour
Takashi looked in front of him and saw what the blue blur was
It was a small creature only as big as a little kid
It was blue all over except for his tan stomach, arms, and torso
It had on white gloves and some of the coolest looking shoes he had ever seen
Takashi then saw something else come up along side of him and join the blue creature
It was a yellow blur until it turned around next to the blue creature
The creature was a small foxlike creature with yellow fur
It had on white gloves as well and had on shoes with some sort jet on them,
It had two tails that it was spinning as a propeller to fly off the ground
But one of the things Takashi noticed the most was that the creature was carrying Amy!
Amy looked like she was unconscious but alright she wasn't bleeding or anything she just had a few small scratches
She was hanging limply as the creature carried her Takashi was praying it wouldn't drop her at this speed or else she would be killed but then he thought 'Why would it go through the trouble of saving her just to kill her now'
Then out of nowhere another blur came rushing passed him
This time it was red
It went over to the other two
The blue creature gave Takashi a thumbs up and then he and the yellow one turned around and ran at high speed down the track leaving Takashi far behind
"Hey wait" Takashi called out as he went after the creatures trying to catch up to them but it was useless they where moving twice as fast as the mechs
Team Sonic
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles where running on the track at top speed not only so that they could get Amy to a doctor but also since they hadn't run together like this together for a while and they wanted to have some fun
Sonic and Knuckles where having a lot of fun as they ran through corkscrews, loop de loops, and hit jumps at top speed
Tails stayed off to the side of the track when they reached an obstacle
He didn't want to try to fly upside down while carrying the girl
"Hey look up there" said Sonic pointing to a tunnel up ahead
"I'll fly over it you two go through it" said Tails climbing so he could clear the tunnel
"Man this is going to be cool, hey Knuckles lets run on the roof" said Sonic picking up speed
"Ok" said Knuckles smiling
Sonic and Knuckles entered the tunnel and began running on the roof watching the colored lights of the tunnel rush by them at high speed
They swerved to avoid the poles that where in the tunnel
"Man this sweet!" said Sonic running upside down
"We need to come back here again, I haven't had this much fun since we blew up the whale shark ship and the Eggfleet" said Knuckles running a spiral in the tunnel
"Hey Knuckles, since those people have already seen us how about we put on a little show for them?" suggested Sonic
"Yeah let's show them what we can do!" said Knuckles
As they where about to exit they both curled into a ball and rolled at high speed to the mouth of the tunnel
Sonic and Knuckles shot out of the tunnel like a bullet from a gun lunching them high into the air
"Check this out" said Sonic as did five flips while he struck a pose midair
"Too easy" said Knuckles also striking a pose midair and doing three spins
"Hey try and follow this" said Sonic
He jumped up in the air and did five front flips while spinning around three times
He landed on the side rail and began grinding on it
"Ha too easy, is that the best you got?" said Knuckles tauntingly
He jumped in the air, grabbed his leg, did a flip, and landed on the rail
They began grinding on the rail at high speed
"Oh yeah!" said Knuckles jumping so he could grind backwards
"Sweet" said Sonic also grinding backwards as well
They both jumped off the rail and onto the track
They both landed perfectly on the track and met up with Tails just as they headed into the stadium
The Stadium
Tails went and placed the girl gently next to the stadium's wall away from the center of the track so she wouldn't be hit by her friends
"Is she going to be alright Tails?" asked Knuckles
"I think so, we're luck she passed out she would have probably died of fright from the trip" said Tails
"Hey look" said Knuckles pointing to Amy
Her eyes where open and she was looking at them barely conscious
She looked at Tails and said weakly "Thanks" just before blacking out again
They then heard the mechs finally approaching the stadium
"Come on guys lets go" said Sonic
Tails looked back at Amy and said "You're welcome"
Sonic, Tails and, Knuckles then ran away from the mechs and went out of the stadium accidentally leaving a glowing white jewel next to Amy
