"How do you suppose this thing works?"
"What if it trips an alarm?"
"What if Eggman already knows we're here?"
"There's NO WAY he knows that we're in here... Is there?"
Both boys then spoke in only whispers. Neither wanted to let a mad doctor know where they were for the time being.
"Maybe if I swap the emerald for another item..."
"NO! That's too risky!"
"I saw it in a movie once! He only had to dodge a few poison darts and outrun a giant boulder..."
"Chris this isn't an action film!"
Chris had already swapped the emerald for a water bottle from his backpack.
"There! Two down..." He hung his head, "Five to go..."
Tails was in a panic, "Chris are you out of your mind?! What if Eggman sends something after us?"
"Like what, Tails?" Chris was growing agitated. He wasn't whispering anymore, "Just remember why we're here in the first place! Every second we waste, means another second more of Sonic being a... monster!" Tears sprang from Chris's eyes, "What will he send after us anyway, HUH!? What?! WHAT!?"
Chris looked over to Tails who was rooted to the spot, petrified, yet shaking wildly with fear. He stared straight ahead at the glowing emerald-green eyes about 10 inches away from him, lurking in the shadows.
"Heheheheheheeee..." Dr. Eggman rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
"What a PERFECTLY planned trap! One only achievable by my own genius and brilliance!"
"MwaaahahahahahhHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"
It was a laugh hardly belonged to Eggman.
He paused momentarily before pushing the big, red button that lay on the table before him. A voice in his head told him that this was wrong. But once again, an evil force inside took over.
He pushed the button.
All of the lights suddenly went dark and the ceiling closed itself. Not even the pair of haunting green eyes could be seen.
Tails heard a bloodcurtling scream.
The lights came back on.
Chris and Sonic were gone.
And so were the chaos emeralds.
Sorry this in on the short side. Well besides the chapter STILL in works, you're about caught up. I'm still looking for someone to help me write out the last bit of this story. Afterwards I can work in the follow up fanfic.
HUGE thank you to :NikkiE-K for helping me!
Please as always send in any ideas you may have. They really do help me out. And if anyone drew art for this, let me know. I'd love to see it.
