K.O. – Today, the chapter will start from Eggman's POV. Why? He has to pop up at some point!
Sonic- Why here? Why can't it be when I'm there?
K.O. - Let's go to the reviews!
Sonic-ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?
Shadowkiller27- I will be putting Water Tails in, but in a different sort of way. I'll need your e-mail to give you the details. And I'm currently reading your LoG story.
Sonic- HELLO?
Carolyn The Hedgehog- Thanks a lot for the OC!
Sonic- HEY!
My Pen Name Is… - Just plain and simple- thankies!
Sonic- LISTEN TO ME!
welsh-duel-champ- You must have somehow read my mind, because later on I was going to ask who you guys want Airie to end up with! If you don't want others to see your opinion, just e-mail it to me. I don't mind! But just one thing…SHADOW IS NOT AN OPTION! REPEAT! SHADOW IS NOT AN OPTION! –gets trampled and killed by Angry Shadow Fans-
Sonic- SALVATION!
A.S.F.s - -gives Sonic the death glare-
Sonic- -shuts up-
RECAP: Before Knuckles could ask, Airie walked over to the bartender's table, where two 'men' wearing overcoats sat. They didn't hear her coming. She grabbed their coats and tore them off, revealing two very shocked Bocoe and Docoe!
They 'ummed' and uhhed' nervously. Airie just said, "Better luck next time, fellas!" And with that they ran out.
So she turned her head to a once again shocked Knuckles. "So, shall we go?" she said.
Eggman sat working on his new robot. What else is new? He was sweating due to not being able to connect some wires to a partical excelerator which hooked into the memory card. (A/N: I had no idea what I was writing there so if you're confused…SO AM I!) He needed to get them hooked up just right, which meant nothing could distract him. Especially something loud.
"DR.EGGMAN! DR.EGGMAN!"
Distraction for Eggman. Yay.
Eggman let out a bone-chilling growl as sparks flew in front of his face. "YOU IDIOTS! THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD!" Bocoe and Docoe faced their master. "It is sir! Really important!" Bocoe squealed. "We've located the Hawk person, as you instructed, but..." "Yes..? Eggmann said with impatience. "Knuckles was there! He must know about the Chaos Emerald!" Docoe bursted. Eggman rubbed his forehead. This did not go along the plan very well. Bocoe continued. "Also, he had another with him, a blue girl with wings. She somehow knew we were there and blew our cover!" This grabbed Eggman's attention. Sure, their disguises were not very good, but they should have worked. He kept his head to the ground, then raised with a smirk. "We'll just see how our old friend Knuckles can deal with the new experiment. As for the girl, she may have some vital information for wining against Sonic!" He turned his head back to Bocoe and Docoe.
"Bocoe, go ready the EggCarier!"
"Yes Doctor!"
"And Docoe!"
"Yes Doctor?"
Eggman grinned at his new robot. "Go into town and find a computer program for me. Its labeled 'Bushido For Dummies'.
"Don't say it…"
"Y'know, not to say I told you so, but…"
"Don't you dare say it…"
"I TOLD YOU SO!"
Knuckles and Airie were in the cell. Airie was on top of Knuckles. The bartender, whom Airie's self-conscience dubbed Steve-O, had led them down the hallway the lead through the trap door. Knuckles fell through first with Airie behind him. She knew what was happening so she wasn't fazed. In fact, she kept the same expression the whole time! Arms crossed, mouth closed, eyes shut. The very popular 'you've-really-pissed-me-off-buddy' look. When Knuckles saw the end of the tunnel he stopped himself to be sure if was safe, but Airie hadn't moved her feet from their standing position, so she kicked him in the back and landed on him. Yes. Again. She seems to be doing that a lot lately.
They had met up with Hawk, who asked why they were here. Airie stole Knuckles' line and said "Oh, just felt like dropping in!" Knuckles grumbled a "Get off me."
Knuckles and Hawk then began talking about the Chaos Emerald. It went into how Knuckles only wanted the Chaos Emeralds so he could go home. He didn't really like his job, but knew it was important. He said he just spent time watching the emerald and dreaming. But Airie knew he mostly dreamed.
Speaking of which, where is Airie?
She was looking around the walls trying to find the bug. This was a favorite episode of hers, and if she knew it, which she did, Steve-O was listening. She thought maybe he didn't put it there…until her hand brushed against it!
She let out a small 'Alright!' and wondered how to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, she had been so busy trying to find the dang bug she had completely stopped listening to Knuckles' and Hawk's conversation. They had gotten to the point where Hawk was about to tell him where the Chaos Emerald was!
"It's this big red jewel, and it lets out a weird glow every so often." Hawk said. "That's a Chaos Emerald alright." Knuckles said.
"Yeah and I have it hidden in a place no one would look for it!"
"Where!"
"Its-UGH!
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
"Airie what are you doing!"
Airie had quickly clamped her mouth over Hawk's mouth, who was trying to scramble away from the hedgechidna's grasp. "Airie let him go!" Knuckles yelled. "He was just about to tell me where-" "I know." Airie gritted through her teeth. "And we can't know it here." "What are you talking about?" "Think about it Knuckles: We fell down a trap into a jail cell, we have no ways of getting out, and we don't even know what we were captured for! OK, well I do, but that's not the point!" She dropped her voice down. "For all we know they could've planted a bug in the cell!" She let Knuckles take this in.
"That's ridiculous! Why would they-" Knuckles stopped himself when he noticed that Airie was gesturing her head to the wall where the bug was. Then he nodded and said, "Now that I think about it, that idea doesn't seem as crazy as you made it sound." Airie rolled her eyes. "Oh, hear this coming from the guy who talks to himself and a giant rock all day."
In another room, Steve-O was listening to the two bicker. He wondered why they stopped talking about the jewel and why it got so quiet. He turned up the volume and listened to them, waiting for someone to spill. (A/N: Guess who's saying what.)
"Hey, at least I don't think I'm from an alternate reality."
"Maybe you would if you were in my place."
"Maybe your wings are too big for you to handle."
"Shut up. Honestly, what does my friend see in you?"
"Just help me find the bug."
"I'VE BEEN TRYING TO!"
The last part made Steve-O fall out of his chair. And back in the cell, they heard a screeching noise come from the bug. Airie turned to Knuckles. "If you'd do the honors." She said pointing to the bug. Knuckles smirked and cracked his fists.
Sonic- I'M FREE! I'M FREE! I'M FREEEEE!
A.S.F.s- -realizing that if they ever want to see who Airie ends up with and if they ever want to see Sonic get hit with a footstool again, resurrect K.O.-
Sonic- NOOOOOOOO!
K.O. – Well, that's all for now. I have to hurt Sonic now for thinking he was free! -grabs chainsaw-
