Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Are we clear? Good P.S. Please don't sue me

Sorry this took so long I wanted to get my other story to a decent part of the plot before I took a break from it. Also I wanted to wait for the new season because I couldn't think of any chapter ideas but now I'm back and it's time to continue the story

Chapter 7: Sonic Speed

Amy woke up the next day the way she usually woke up, with Luca walking over her and bugging her until she got up

'Come on get up!' said Luca walking over her head a few times

"Ugh, five more minutes! We don't even have any work today!" complained Amy groggily covering her head with a pillow as Luca was about to make a pass

'Come on get up! You sleep like a cat and trust me I should know' said Luca

Amy at last gave in and sat up and yawned loudly

"I've got the best alarm clock in the world" joked Amy

'No wonder you are never late' replied Luca

Amy out of bed and got dressed for the day

She then went over to her computer and checked her E-Mail like she always did

Since she mostly talked to her parents via E-Mail and web cam she always made a point to check it first thing

She looked and saw a message from her parents

It was what they were sending her mostly in the last few weeks since the race

It basically said that they hoped she was feeling good and was alright and that they wished they could be there but were busy with work

Amy was usually appreciative of the letters since it was lonely around with no one besides Luca home no matter how good of company he was

She quickly logged off her computer and left her room

She walked down the hallway and into the living room

Amy saw that the others were already up…well most of them

Tails was busy going over some calculations for the Tornado three on a piece of paper, Sonic was nowhere in sight, And Knuckles sleeping while hanging off the side of the couch and snoring loudly

"Oh! Good morning Amy!" said Tails happily looking up from his work

Amy had almost completely forgotten about them amazingly

"Hi Tails" said Amy politely

Meanwhile Luca had gone over to investigate Knuckles

She looked at him hanging upside down off the couch and snoring very loudly

'Well isn't that pleasant' said Luca sarcastically

'And they say cats can sleep anywhere' he quickly added

"How long have you been up?" asked Amy

"About an hour, I'm surprised you slept so late" said Tails

'I'm not' said Luca

"What have you been doing?" asked Amy

"I've been working on my calculations to figure out just what went wrong with the teloporter; I still can't see what went wrong. I might have more luck if I can do a thorough diagnostic of the Tornado Three" said Tails

"Oh, where is Sonic?" asked Amy looking around

"Behind you" said Sonic

Amy turned to see Sonic standing right behind her looking wet and covering himself with a towel

"What have you been doing?" asked Amy curious as to why Sonic was wet

"Taking a shower, you try and go a few weeks without bathing and see how you like it" answered Sonic

He didn't have to bathe much but a few weeks was a lot even for him

"So that's what that smell was" said Knuckles with a yawn as he got up finally

"What about you? You sleep on dirt most nights" answered Sonic

"Not this again" said Tails with a sigh

"Excuse me, I have to go for a spin dry" said Sonic as he went outside

"Spin dry?" asked Amy

"You know what dogs do? This is worse" said Knuckles

He began doing his stationary spin dash to get dry quickly

Amy could see from the window he was getting water everywhere

'That's worse' said Luca

"At least he isn't kicking himself" joked Amy

'I have an excuse, I hate water' said Luca

After Sonic stopped he came back inside completely dry

"Well that was easy" said Sonic

"Nice work Sonic" said Knuckles as he saw that Sonic had splattered all the windows with water

"No need for this" said Sonic as he threw off the towel. It went high into the air and landed on a lamp leaving Sonic with no cover, which was normal

Amy screamed

"What's the matter?" asked Sonic

Amy being a girl did not feel comfortable with the idea of a boy throwing off a towel in full view of her, even if he was another species

"It's that you are naked" said Amy

"So? So are Tails and Knuckles" said Sonic

"You just figuring that out now?" asked Knuckles

"Only girls of our species wear clothes" explained Tails

"I understand but it still creeps me out" said Amy

'I don't wear any clothes either' said Luca 'You're the only one in this house that wears clothes, and besides they don't even have anything "Down There" What's the problem?'

"It's just that it kind of creeps me out when I think about it" said Amy "Besides they're human like enough for it to bother me"

"How about we get some clothes then?" suggested Sonic "Maybe they'll keep my quills from getting so dirty during a spin dash and those things are hard to clean" he added remembering being in the shower for the last hour cleaning them

"What will we find that can fit?" asked Knuckles

"How about some kid's clothes?" suggested Amy

"I'm not about to shop at a little kids store, all the stuff there will look stupid on us" complained Knuckles

"He's right I don't want to have to wear clothes made for a five or six year old" said Sonic thinking about some of the little kid humans he had seen with shirts with cute fuzzy animals on them or some other cute thing

"I got an idea!" said Tails

"What?" asked Sonic

"I have a special device in the Tornado Three that can change the size of objects" said Tails

"You have a shrink ray?" asked Sonic

"Basically" said Tails

"Why?" asked Knuckles

"It allows me to keep more stuff on the Tornado Three for long trips" explained Tails

"No wonder you have so much stuff on that thing and it doesn't get any heavier" said Knuckles remembering having to carry it more than once

"Anyway we just buy some regular clothes and shrink them down to our sizes or they will fit" said Tails happily

"Perfect" said Sonic

"Not perfect" said Knuckles

"Why?" asked Tails

"We can't just go out shopping at the mall, people will freak out if they see us" said Knuckles

"He's right and besides after all those times at the mall with our Amy I can't stand those places" said Sonic; he had many horror stories involving Amy at the mall

One time she had forced him to watch her try on outfits for THREE HOURS STRAIGHT

She ended up getting the same pink dresses she always had

"I can go" suggested Amy

All three turned and looked at her

They thought about the offer

"I'm not going to have some girl choose my clothes, it'll all come back looking stupid or "cute" complained Knuckles

Amy was offended by the remark but did not say anything

"I'm all for it so long as I don't have to go" said Sonic calmly

"Ok, so long as it isn't too big a favor to ask" said Tails politely

"No problem" said Amy happily

"Fine" said Knuckles giving in "BUT NOTHING PINK!" he yelled

He then walked over to Sonic and began talking to him

Tails walked up to Amy while Knuckles and Sonic were talking "I'm sorry about all the problems we are causing you" apologized Tails politely to Amy

"It's no problem, you guys need some help so I'm just doing the right thing. Plus you saved my life it's the least I can do" said Amy glad Tails was nicer than Knuckles

"Thanks a lot!" said Tails happily with a smile

"You're welcome" said Amy

'We better get going soon, the mall is crowed more later in the day and after all that has happened to you being in a crowed public place is a bad idea' said Luca

"You're right" said Amy

She knew what had happened to Takashi the time he was out in the open

"What'd he say?" asked Tails unable to understand the cat

"He said we better get going" said Amy

"Ok, we'll stay here until you come back" said Tails

"What are we suppose to do while she is gone?" complained Knuckles finished talking to Sonic

Sonic just tapped him on shoulder

As soon as Knuckles turned to face Sonic he pointed to the big screen TV Amy had since she was rich

"Oh" said Knuckles getting the message

"I get the remote!" said Sonic jumping on the couch

"Hey I want it!" said Knuckles jumping after him

They began having a tug of war over the remote while Tails just gave a depressed sigh

"So this is what it's like to have boys in the house" said Amy as they fought

'They remind me a lot of Takashi and Liz' said Luca remembering many petty fights between the two

"Yeah" said Amy watching the fight

'Come on let's go, you had some things to get anyway today' said Luca

"Like cat food?" asked Amy

'Yup' said Luca

Amy then left to go shopping leaving the two fighting and Tails just getting up and changing the channel by hand while they were busy

Later

Everyone had finally settled down and stopped arguing and was watching TV

The news was on taking about none other than them

People were still curious about what they were and were talking about theories that they were aliens from another world or mutations or something else that sounds like it belongs in the tabloids

Sonic and Knuckles watched happily the video of them running on the track during the race

"Nice one Knuckles" said Sonic as he saw video of Knuckles beating the two mechs barehanded

"Not bad yourself" said Knuckles as he saw the perfect blue tornado Sonic had done

Tails was amazed by this but not surprised

Whenever Sonic and Knuckles began to really get on each others nerves like when Knuckles was in a bad mood that came from being away from his island too long, they would argue and fight and then suddenly stop and they would be best friends again and Knuckles would finally act normal

It was a predictable as sunrise and sunset

"I'm still curious about this IG-1" said Sonic

He was very interested in any sort of race

He remembered the time he and Tails and Knuckles had raced on extreme gear against the Babylon Rouges for the Chaos Emerald in the tournament Eggman had hosted

He loved racing and wanted to find out more about this IG-1 tournament…especially if he could enter it

"Yah it looks fun" said Tails

He really wanted to ask Amy about it and about the robot she piloted while racing

The design her of her robot might be just what Tails needed to modify the Tornado Three for combat as a giant fighting robot

He just had to get a look at the schematics!

Knuckles was also interested in the races due mostly to the fact that it involved a lot of high speed combat which was his specialty

He could still remember beating the living daylights out of Storm while they raced at the robot factory

It had been an easy fight, a quick punch to the face followed by an upper cut and finally a sweeping right hand punch and Storm was down!

He still remembered the look on that idiot's face as he crossed the finish line by a mile

'How could you beat me? You must've cheated!' complained Storm in his simple speech while pounding the ground in frustration

Knuckles gave a chuckle at the thought

His daydream was cut off by the sound of the door opening

All three turned to see Amy come in with a lot of shopping bags

Tails quickly flew over to help Amy

"Thanks Tails" said Amy as he grabbed a bag

"No problem" said Tails as he hovered with the bag

"I'll help too" said Knuckles going over and easily grabbing most of the bags

'Well someone's in a better mood' said Luca

"Thanks Knuckles" said Amy half surprise the rude Echidna was now being helpful

She put down the bags she had on a table

"What's up with him?" asked Amy quietly to Tails While Knuckles and Sonic began looking though them

"Oh, he just gets bad tempered when he is bored and has no enemies to fight. He's really nice most of the time it's just that he has had nothing to do for a while" said Tails

"Sounds like Liz when she doesn't get to fight often" said Amy

Knuckles overheard them and headed over to them

"Yeah sorry about that I guess I was just in a bad mood" apologized Knuckles

"No problem" said Amy

"Excuse me a second" said Amy nervously

She then quickly took a item out of the bad and hid it behind her back

"What's that?" asked Tails suspiciously

"Nothing! Nothing at all!" said Amy nervously

Tails and Knuckles bought none of it

Suddenly a curious Sonic came flying behind Amy and snatched what it was

"Ha Ha! Hey Knuckles look! It's in your size" said Sonic laughing while holding up a bright pink, frilly dress that was the perfect size for Knuckles

Knuckles looked at it in shock while Amy sweat dropped

"I bought that as a joke when I was mad, don't worry I got him something normal too" said Amy defensively

"What is it a TU TU!? roared Knuckles

"Don't worry it's good!" said Amy

"Come on Knuckles it's payback for that bad temper of yours" said Sonic

"Fine" said Knuckles in a defeated tone "I won't get mad but what she got us better be good!"

"So what did you get us?" asked Tails

"Well I wasn't sure of what you liked so I decided for something that would match your hair…Um….quills and fur" said Amy

"Let's try them on" suggested Sonic

"Wait we still have to shrink them down first" said Tails

"Ok I guess we have to go get the shrink ray" said Knuckles

"Size changer" corrected Tails

"Whatever" said Knuckles

"But it's all the way across town in the Tornado Three" said Tails

"I can get someone there fast if I carry them using the light dash" said Sonic

"What about Amy?" asked Knuckles

"I got an idea" said Tails "Sonic can take me to the Tornado Three, he can leave me there and come back here, then you guys can take her to the park we first landed in that's about half way to the Tornado Three, I'll fly the Tornado Three to the park and we can do our work there"

"That might be a good idea, people will think someone on the roof messing with a big metal box is suspicious" said Sonic

"Yeah especially on a IG-1 team roof, they will probably think you're try to sabotage us somehow" said Amy

"Ok then let's get moving, Tails remember to park in that area than pretty much no one goes to so we don't get seen" said Sonic

"Ok" said Tails

Sonic then grabbed onto Tails and activated his light dash while Knuckles opened a window

Sonic and Tails sped through air at insane speeds and fly out the window and into the clear blue sky

Later at the Park

Sonic had come back a bit later and he, Knuckles, and Amy set out for the park while Tails flew the Tornado Three to meet them

Sonic and the others arrived first

"Where is he?" ask Knuckles

"Must be running late" said Sonic

He then quickly jumped up a tree and rested on a branch

Amy sat down under the shade of a tree with Luca in her lap while Knuckles punched at thin air to relive some of his anxiety and get some practice in

"I'm still amazed at what's going on, one second I'm just a normal…well close to normal girl and now I have super powered animals from another world living with me" said Amy while she petted Luca

"Yah we seem to have a knack for causing odd things to happen" said Knuckles

"At this rate someone will be trying to take over the world soon and we'll have to stop them" joked Sonic

"Really?" asked Amy

"Well with our luck I wouldn't be surprised, we seem to attract danger and psychopaths like magnets" said Knuckles continuing his punching

Wherever they went it seemed that something bad was going on that they had to solve

"Must be interesting" said Amy

"Well I do like adventure" said Sonic while he was still resting on the branch

"So what about your team Amy? We haven't heard a lot about them" asked Sonic

"My team? Well first off there is Takashi" said Amy

"The one who was up front during the race?" asked Sonic remembering the mech that had been in the lead at the race

He was curious about this pilot because when he was on the track Sonic noticed that he raced a lot like he did, by his heart

"Yeah he's the forward" said Amy

"The speed team leader?" asked Knuckles putting it into terms he could understand

"I guess, he does love to go fast and always has a lot of fun while racing. I don't think there is anything he likes more than racing" said Amy

"I'm liking him already" said Sonic

"Yeah well he's nice but he just seems to not care much about what is not on the track" said Amy

"Sounds like Sonic" noted Knuckles

"I guess, he is always leaving us behind on the track though and he almost never listens to us" complained Amy

"Ha! Even I don't do that. I might love speed and going fast but I know that even though my team mates might slow me down, no offense Knuckles, it's always better to have someone to back you up" said Sonic

He knew the key to winning was teamwork, he had learned that during his time against Metal Overlord

"You're right" said Amy

"Yeah he's never going to race at his best until he learns the most important part of any sport…team work" said Knuckles

"How did you guys learn to work so well together? You are always with each other and you always stay together" asked Amy

"It's easy! We're friends so we stay together and help each other. Don't you spend time with your teammates?" asked Sonic

"Yeah…A little… I guess, but we don't spend all our time together" said Amy

"Maybe you should try and spend more time together so you feel easier working with each other" suggested Knuckles

"We could but…well…Liz and Takashi don't get along too well and are always fighting" said Amy

"So did me and Sonic, but after all the time we spent together we finally learned to put up with each other" said Knuckles

"What about you? What's your problem?" asked Sonic

"Well…" said Amy weakly "I'm usually too busy studying and working and…"

'You're too shy' added Luca

"Hey!" said Amy annoyed by that comment

'What? It's true, you need to learn how to be a little more open to people and not just me' said Luca

"You're probably right" said Amy

In truth she knew Luca was right

"That still creeps me out" said Knuckles to Sonic while Amy and Luca were talking

Sonic just gave an "I don't care" shrug from his perch right above Amy

"What about that third one?" asked Knuckles stopping his punching

"Oh, Liz? She's really determined, hard working, she's always training, and she never gives up" said Amy

'She also hates animals' added Luca

"But she can kinda be…hotheaded" admitted Amy

"No worse than Knuckles, when he gets mad he can actually use fire to attack" said Sonic knowing Knuckles had a tendency to use a lot of flaming fist attacks when mad

"Not my fault" said Knuckles "I just don't like people who annoy me"

"Well Takashi annoys Liz a lot, she doesn't like how he never takes anything seriously and he is just naturally skilled at piloting while she has to train hard" said Amy

"Sounds almost like she's jealous" said Sonic

"I guess but I wouldn't say that in front of her since I like breathing" said Amy knowing no one would dare say that in front of Liz unless they had good health insurance

"Wow your team is messed up, no offense" said Sonic

"They're not as weird as us though" said Knuckles

Amy was about to say something but was cut off by the sound of a plane. She looked up to see a big jet plane coming in for a vertical landing. It was all blue with some yellow stripes on it and it had an odd symbol that looked like two crossing tails on the wings and some other parts. Amy noticed the symbol looked a lot like the Team Satomi symbol

The plane landed softly in a clearing near where they had been talking

"He's finally here" said Knuckles going over to the plane

The plane shut down and the cockpit opened

Tails jumped out of the cockpit and onto the wing

"What took so long!" asked Knuckles

"I couldn't take off, someone was at the garage and I couldn't take off without being seen by them" said Tails

"Who was there?" asked Amy curious who would be at the garage on a day no one was suppose to be there

"It was some older guy with black messy hair; he went into the building as I got there. If I took off he would have heard the plane and come out to see what it was" said Tails

"That would be Mark, I guess he had to do something with the mechs" said Amy

"I had to wait for him to leave before I could go, he took a long time in the garage" said Tails

"He usually does" said Amy "Sometimes he sleeps there"

"I thought Tails was the only one who sleeps with machines" joked Knuckles remembering all the times he and Sonic had gone to Tail's workshop to find him sleeping in his plane with a tool still in his hands

Tails just blushed

"This is amazing" said Amy looking in awe at the plane

"This is the Tornado Three, it is super fast, it has many powerful weapons, and can even fly in space!" said Tails proudly

"Incredible" said Amy looking at it

'Must make getting through rush hour easier' said Luca

"Where did you get it?" asked Amy

"I made it" said Tails

"What?" asked Amy in shock

"Yeah it was easy" said Tails modestly

"How did you make it?" asked Amy

"Well it's pretty easy for someone with an IQ of 400 to make some amazing inventions" said Knuckles

"He has an IQ of 400?" asked Amy in shock

"Yeah, So?" said Sonic calmly

"How old is he!" asked Amy

"I'm eight" replied Tails

Amy was speechless but Luca was not

'He can not only fly a plane, he can build one and he has an IQ of 400. And people call you a child genius' said Luca

"Tails is our "smart" team member" said Sonic

"HEY!" said Knuckles annoyed

"So Tails you got that shrink ray?" asked Sonic to quickly change the subject

"Size changer!" said Tails

"Whatever, do you have it?" asked Knuckles

"Yeah hold on" said Tails

He than began rummaging around the cockpit of the Tornado Three until he pulled out a laser looking device with a dial and red button on it

"This is it" said Tails jumping down from the plane and showing it to the others

"So how does it work?" asked Sonic picking it up and playing with it

"Ah! Be careful!" warned Tails

Knuckles snatched the ray from Sonic before he could mess it up

"So what do we do?" asked Knuckles

"Well first we set it to shrink" said Tails

Knuckles turned the dial to shrink

"Ok then all we have to do is point it at something we want smaller" explained Tails

Knuckles pointed the ray at Sonic's head

"Not that" said Tails

"You said something we want smaller" joked Knuckles

Sonic snatched the ray away from Knuckles

"Did you bring the clothes?" asked Tails

"Yeah, here they are" said Amy holding up the bag they were in

"Ok put them over there by that tree so we can shoot it safely" said Tails pointing to the tree Amy had sat under before

Amy went over and put the bag down under the tree and then hurried back

"Ok, now just to shoot it" said Tails

"Ok" said Sonic

He then let lose a barrage of blue energy beams from the ray like a machinegun while everyone else screamed

"Give me that! This takes aim not speed" said Knuckles taking the ray back

He aimed the ray at the bag and shot a single beam at it

The bag began to shrink until it was about half the size it was before

After Knuckles was done shooting he did a classic western gun smoke blow

"Alright let's see how they came out!" said Sonic rushing over to the bag

Tails, Knuckles, and Amy followed him over to the bags

"So who has what?" asked Knuckles

"We can decide" said Sonic

"How about I wait over by the plane while you guys get dressed" suggested Amy

"Ok" said Tails

Amy picked up Luca and headed over to the Tornado Three while Sonic and the others got dressed on the other side of the tree

Amy sat under a wing and played with Luca until they were done

Amy could hear them talking

"Hey how does this go?" Amy could hear Sonic ask

"I think like this" replied Tails

"No that goes here" said Knuckles

"How does Amy stand this? It's so uncomfortable" said Sonic

"That's because you have it on backwards" said Knuckles

"What's this for?" asked Sonic

"I think that's for your neck" said Knuckles

Amy could then hear choking sounds

"It's for his legs not his neck!" said Tails

"How am I supposed to know? This is my first time" said Knuckles

After about another minute and a half of this they were done

"Come on out I want to see how it looks" called Amy

"Um…Ok" said Tails unsure whether to come out or not

Sonic and the others came out from behind the tree looking really good

Sonic had on a beep blue jacket with a blue and white t-shirt underneath it. He also had on a pair of light blue jeans with a wave pattern in a deeper blue near the bottom of the legs

Tails had on a white and yellow t-shirt with a lightning bolt on it and a pair of blue jeans that had a lightning pattern in yellow near the feet

Knuckles had on a red and white t-shirt with a red, flame pattern jacket over it. He also had on a pair of black flame pattern jeans with a chain sticking out of the pocket

"Not bad" said Sonic overlooking himself

"Nice!" said Tails checking out his shirt

"I like" said Knuckles admiring his flames

"Wait, there is one last thing Tails" said Amy

She reached into the bag and pulled out a Team Satomi vest that had been shrunk to his size

"It's one of my spares, I thought you would like it since it looked good on you before" said Amy as she handed it to Tails

"Thanks!" said Tails as he put it on

"I gotta admit this is actually kind of nice" said Sonic

"Yeah but it's missing something" said Knuckles

"Yeah, but what?" asked Sonic

"I know!" said Tails happily

He then went up to the Tornado Three and opened a storage compartment on the side. He looked around until he found the compartment the Extreme gear was in. He opened it and grabbed the goggles they had worn while they raced

"Got'em!" said Tails holding them up

He tossed Sonic his emerald green glasses with the black frames

"Sweet" said Sonic putting then above his eyes

He then tossed Knuckles his blue tinted goggles

"This is perfect" said Knuckles as he hung them from his neck

Tails then put on his clear goggles and hung them above his eyes like Sonic had done

"And I thought only girls cared about accessories" joked Amy

'Not bad, they look good with clothes' said Luca

"Maybe we should try you next" said Amy

'Don't even think about it' said Luca

"Come on a nice pink bow and a cat sized dress would look good on you" said Amy suppressing a laugh

'I don't think so' said Luca as he hopped out of Amy's arms

"What do you think?" asked Tails

"You look good" said Amy

"Well what did you expect? I can make anything look good" said Knuckles arrogantly as he leaned on the side of the Tornado Three

Unfortunately Tails had forgot to shut the hatch to the storage compartment so the door to it fell open right onto Knuckles head causing a lot of stuff to fall out

"Nice" said Sonic as Knuckles got up

Amy looked at the pile of stuff that had fallen out and saw some odd skateboard-like things that had no wheels

"What's this?" asked Amy picking up a yellow board

"Our Extreme gear. Tails why'd you bring that?" asked Knuckles

"I kept the gear in the plane from the last time we raced on them in Sand Ruins" said Tails

"What's extreme gear?" asked Amy

"We used them to race in The World Grand Prix" said Tails

"So you raced in a tournament too?" asked Amy

"Yeah we did it to get a Chaos Emerald from Eggman" said Tails

"Did you win?" asked Amy

"Naturally" said Sonic confidently

"Well we lost the "official" race but in the end we won" said Tails

"What do you mean the "official" race?" asked Amy

"Long story" Tails simply replied

"Oh" said Amy

"How do these work?" asked Amy

"Easy, they work on the principal of…mph!" Tails was cut off by Knuckles covering his mouth with his hand

"I had enough of that the first time around!" said Knuckles

"Basically they run on air" said Sonic

"Air?" asked Amy confused

"Here I'll show you" said Sonic

He grabbed his Blue Star 2 and threw it in front of him. He quickly ran forward and jumped on it

Amy was amazed when suddenly the board began floating off the ground!

"It's a hoverboard! I thought those weren't possible!" said Amy as Sonic did a few laps around the plane

"It's a Airboard, it uses air to fly over the ground" said Tails

"You used to race on these?" asked Amy

"Yeah it was similar to your IG-1, teams would race at high speed through a course while doing battle for the lead. The only difference was that it was a lot more "personal" because no one used robots, we fought hand to hand" said Tails

"Sounds painful" said Amy

"Nah, I mean I only got blow up four times, bashed ten, and nearly got blow to bits by a genie" said Knuckles sarcastically

'With all we've heard that must be another day at the office for them' said Luca

"Wana try?" asked Tails offering Amy his board

"Um…no thanks, I don't even know how to ride a skateboard let alone an airboard" said Amy

"It's not that hard, Sonic rode on one for a couple of miles before he crashed" said Knuckles riding around on his Red Rock

Amy sweat dropped

"I'll stick to mechs" said Amy nervously

"Speaking of which Amy there is something I have been meaning to ask you. I'm curious about those mechs that you ride around in. They have a perfect design for my Tornado Three to transform into. I want to see the schematics and maybe even examine on myself. Could you possibly get me into your garage to see them up close?" asked Tails

Amy thought about it "I don't know security is kind of tight at night so you couldn't get in then and I don't know the password to bypass the security system" said Amy

"Oh" said Tails disappointedly

"How about you sneak in with Amy during the day?" suggested Sonic

"What?" asked Amy

"If Tails sneaks in during the day, security is going to be a lot lighter and Amy could just show him around herself" said Sonic

"What about being seen?" asked Knuckles

"The place is usually pretty empty on days when we're just going over strategy, not a lot of people will be there so being seen will be less of an issue" said Amy

Tails got a big smile on his face

"So I can see them?" asked Tails happily

"I'll try" said Amy

"Thanks" said Tails

"So what do you mean by going over strategy?" asked Knuckles

"We have to talk about using some new moves for the re-match with Sledge Mamma since they know our strategy from the last race. So we have to come up with new formations, moves, and a new game plan" said Amy

"All you have to do is beat them up, what else do you need?" asked Knuckles

"That's what Liz said" said Amy

"What? It works" said Knuckles

"Come Knuckles there's more to it than that, you should know from all the time we spent doing team action" said Tails

"Team Action? What do you mean?" asked Amy

"One of the reasons we won against Eggman so often was the fact we know how to work together as a team and use all our unique abilities, like my flying tails, Knuckles super strength, and Sonic's unmatched speed" said Tails

"We came up formations to use all our powers as best we could" said Sonic

"Hey Tails how about you tell Amy about our formations?" suggested Knuckles

"Why?" asked Tails

"Maybe she might be able to use some of our moves for her team to use on the track" said Knuckles

"That's brilliant! I'll go get my computer and show you some of our moves" said Tails

"Wait Tails, I was supposed to show you around town today" said Amy stopping Tails

"Yeah you can show her later" said Knuckles

"But it's getting late" said Tails noticing it was getting to be sunset "Do you think we'll have enough time to see the city?"

"Not on foot…" said Sonic smugly

He then looked to the Tornado Three

The others also turned and looked

Knuckles got a huge grin on his face

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" said Knuckles picking up his Red Rock airboard

"Time to fly" said Sonic picking up his Blue Star 2

In the Sky

"This is amazing!" yelled Amy as Tails did a loop de loop in the Tornado Three high over the city

Sonic and Knuckles were close behind riding the slipstream the Tornado Three caused on their airboards

"Woo hoo!" said Sonic as Tails began doing complex aerial maneuvers with the Tornado Three with Amy in the seat behind him

"This is better then being in a mech!" said Amy

"Glad you like it" said Tails pulling back on the controls

'Hold onto me tighter! I don't want to end up on the ceiling!' said Luca as Tails did another loop de loop

All Tails heard was Luca screeching like crazy

Amy turned around to see Sonic and Knuckles doing tricks off the slipstream

Sonic did a double mouse while Knuckles did a magma driver

"Ok here are some barrel rolls!" said Tails

Amy was screaming like a little kid on a rollercoaster as Tails three of them in a row

Tails finally leveled out the Tornado Three and set it to cruising speed

"Ok, think we can see the city in this?" asked Tails pointing out the window

Amy looked out the window to see the entire city lighting up for the night

"It's beautiful" said Amy seeing the entire city lit up

"Wow look at the track" said Amy seeing the IG-1 track that crossed most of the city lit up with a lot of colorful lights

It looked like a strand of Christmas lights

"Never seen it from the air?" asked Tails

"Yeah only on the ground, it looks a lot more beautiful from here" said Amy

"Well we can see it later we still got a lot to do and it's not getting earlier" said Tails

He swung the Tornado Three around and flew it clear trough a loop de loop on the track

He then kicked it into high gear and soared off into the night sky Sonic and Knuckles following close behind doing tricks all the way
