A/n: at this point i'm done trying to stick to some sort of schedule with uploads, its not gonna work because of my job. Thank you IcyPinkFlower and Sarahgpink for reviewing in the last chapter.
IcyPinkFlower-I think you should get into writing fanfics. Its a fun hobby and helps you improve your writing skills (If you compare my older story's to my newer ones you can tell I've gotten better).
Sarahgpink- None of the other characters will gain animal traits like Sonic and Tails. Originally I was thinking about making Rouge part bat, Silver part hedgehog and Blaze part cat due to Eggman experimenting on them in that way but I decided against it as it wouldn't really add anything to the story and I thought it would weaken Eggman's motive of trying to recapture Tails.
Anyways I own nothing except for OC's.
"Where are we gonna go now Sonic?" Tails asked once the two check out of the motel they had been staying at.
The two walked out of the motel. It was about 1 when they decided to leave. Right after lunch, hopefully less people would be out. Sonic looked around before he bent down and whispered in Tails ear, "Well first we have to find a private place we can go to so I can help you get your tails through the hole in your jeans."
Tails nodded and Sonic placed him on his shoulder and ran into the woods. He stopped when he reached a clearing. He then proceeded to pull down his brothers pants a little, just so the tails weren't covered by the fabric anymore. He then gently grabbed both with on hand and slipped them through the incision he had made in the pants using scissors earlier. After that Tails pulled his pants back up.
"Ready to go?" Sonic asked as he held out his hand.
Tails nodded and grabbed Sonics hand. The two started to walk out of the forest when suddenly a fireball came out of nowhere in front of them stopping them in their tracks.
"Woah!" The brothers exclaimed as the fire simmered down. They looked towards where it had come from only to find a familiar hispanic girl standing behind them.
"Blaze!" Sonic exclaimed in shock. What was she doing out here?
Blaze nodded, "Sonic. Tails. I think you both know why I'm here," Blaze settled her gaze on the strawberry blonde. Tails hid behind Sonic and gripping onto his big brothers hand like it was a lifeline. Sonic instantly knew what she was talking about and squeezed Tails's hand in a comforting manner.
"Blaze, listen, it doesn't have to be this way."
The purple haired girl looked down, a shame filled look crossed her face.
"I'm sorry Sonic but I must do this. If I don't Eggman will put my sisters in danger and I can't let that happen. I must fight you. I don't expect you to surrender nor can I. So we must fight."
Sonic straightened, his quills rose became razor sharp looking like actual qills instead of hair and without taking his eyes off of Blaze said, "Tails I want you to find a safe place to hide while we fight."
Tails nodded and ran. Usually he would have argued that he wanted to stay but he knew the seriousness of the situation and the fact that he had almost no fighting experience would make him more of a hinderance rather than a help.
"Blaze I know you have no choice but to fight me but can't you just leave and say you fought me?"
"I unfortunately can't do that. Robotnik is smarter than you think. Somewhere around here is a spybot broadcasting our battle to him. If I forfeit he'll know and Sticks and Marine will be put in danger, and I cannot let that happen. I'm sorry," Blaze stated as she balled her hands into fists and summoned fire making them look like fiery fists.
"It's fine but just so you know I'm not gonna lose," Sonic stated as he got into a running position.
Blaze threw a fireball at him. Him dodged but apparently it had been a distraction seeing the next thing she did was lunge at his with one of her fiery fists.
"Fists made of fire? Since when could you do that?" Sonic asked as he dodged another one of her punches.
"Simple. Lots. Of. Practice!" Blaze grunted as one of her punches finally connected with Sonics cheek sending him tumbling back. The blue haired teen sat up and rubbed his cheek.
"Geez Blaze. For someone who most just controls fire, you sure can pack a punch."
Blaze rolled her eyes, "Please, flattery gets Silver nowhere. What makes you think your any different."
Sonic paused as if in thought, "Well for starters," Suddenly he disappeared.
"I got my speed," He said as he reappeared next to blaze and roundhouse kicked her in the back.
Blaze winced at the pain but due to her fast reflexes she grabbed the foot that kicked her and threw Sonic to the ground. She held out her hand to shoot fire at him but Sonic did a kip up (A/n: A kip up is when you kick upwards with your feet and land back on your feet standing) and in the process of doing it kicked Blaze's hand away. Once stand he then proceed to back up and create some distance between the two.
'What am I supposed to do? I have to beat Blaze, if I don't Tails life will be in danger but I don't wanna kill her like I almost did last time. Come on Sonic! Think! Think!' The teen mentally yelled at himself.
Sonic was too busy trying to come up with a plan that he didn't see the fireball heading his way before it was too late. He was able to dodge it but it singed his quills, which gave him an idea.
"Its seems you've improved since the last time we fought," Blaze remarked.
Sonic smirked, "Same goes for you, you even had these new tricks up your sleeve, you're not the only one with new tricks though."
"How about instead of telling me about it, you instead show me," She said as she threw a fireball at him.
Sonic smirked and disappeared once again. Blaze looked around so when he reappeared she'd be ready. She suddenly heard a weird sound. It sounded like...crumbling? The purple haired pyronesist looked around confused. Suddenly she felt herself get shorter. She looked down and noticed the ground below her was cracked and before she could do anything else it caved in. The hole was too deep but deep enough so that it would take a while to climb out up. She looked up from where she landed to see Sonic smirking down at her.
"A pitfall trap? How?"
Sonic's smirk grew as he turned around revealing his quills. Blazes eye widened.
"Hedgehog quills? How do you have hedgehog quills?"
"Blaze, as much as I'd love to stay and chat I have a scared 8 year old to find. See ya!" Sonic said before running away.
It didn't take long to find Tails. He didn't run too far away from the fight, just far enough so he wouldn't get hurt and once he was far enough he scampered up a tree. Sonic hadn't been running too fast since he didn't feel like running into a tree and once Tails saw him he voiced it.
"Sonic!"
Sonic looked around confused. He could hear Tails but he couldn't see him. Tails giggled, "Up here!"
Sonic looked up and saw his little brother sitting on top of a branch of a very tall tree.
"Tails! How the hell did you get up there?!" Sonic yelled. He knew for a fact Tails wasn't a fast climber, not to mention considering the height there was no way his little brother could get up there that fast even if he was a good climber.
"Check this out!" Tails yelled before jumping off the branch.
Sonic freaked out and got ready to catch his falling brother only to find that he wasn't falling, but hovering in mid air. That's not all but his Tails were rapidly spinning, almost like a helicopter. The 8 year old slowly made his descent down to the ground. Once there he collapsed on the ground, out of breath. Sonic stared at his brother in shock as he tried to process what had just happened.
"You can FLY?!"
Tails, after regaining his breath, smiled at Sonic and said, "Pretty cool right?"
Sonic blinked, "Y-yeah I guess, but how'd you know you could do that?"
"Well while I running I started to move my tails in a spinning motion out of nervousness. When I did that I noticed I started to go faster so I spun my tails faster and before I knew it I was off the ground and flying so I flew up the tree."
Sonic ruffled Tails's hair, "Pretty cool ability bro. Might come in handy someday."
Tails nodded, "Let's just hope that Someday isn't soon. I can't do it for too long and it makes me feel tired."
"Wait so let me get this straight. You jumped off that high tree branch not knowing if you could keep your tails spinning fast enough to keep you airborne until you reached the ground."
Tails blinked before smiling sheepishly. Sonic shook his head and crossed his arms to show his disapproving of his brothers choice.
"I guess I didn't think that through."
Sonic rolled his eyes, "Lets just be thankful nothing bad happened. Come on, let's get out of this forest and hit the road."
Tails nodded as his blue haired brother led him out of the forest. Once out Sonic once again placed Tails on his shoulders and ran. Ran to wherever the wind took him.
Robotnik, who had been watching the whole fight via spybot slammed his fist down angrily as he watched Sonic defeat Blaze, show off his quills and run off.
"No! That blasted brat! He must have drank the Hedgehog elixir I was perfecting!" Robotnik exclaimed. Hedgehogs were his favorite animal so he was perfecting a elixer, one he planned on also using on Tails. He wanted to see if the Hedgehog DNA would override the fox DNA and if he would turn into a hedgehog human hybrid instead of a fox human hybrid. To be honest though, after this experience, he wasn't too sure if he liked hedgehogs anymore...or foxes for that matter.
He let out another growl before he left the room in search of certain Silver haired teen. He found said teen sleeping in a main lab.
"Silver!" Robotnik barked, succeeding in awakening his employee.
"Yes sir!" Silver exclaimed said abrupt wake up call.
"Blaze has failed in her mission-"
"Is she okay?" Silver asked in a worried tone.
"She is yes but she won't be emotionally if you don't do as I say."
Silver's face darkened. Robotnik used the threat of harming Marine and Sticks on Silver as well as Blaze and although Silver wasn't as close with Marine and Sticks as Blaze was he still did care about them. In a way they were his little sisters as well.
"What are your orders?"
"GET OFF THE ROAD A$$HOLE!" Vector yelled at a driver.
"Vector! Can you please keep it PG," Amy scolded. This was the 11th time she had to cover Creams ears to keep her from hearing the garbage the was spewing from the green haired hooligans mouth.
"It was that's guy's fault. The bastard cut me off!"
"Vector!"
"Boss, I can drive if you'd like," Espio offered.
"Whose side are you on? I've sworn in the car before and you never cared," Vector argued.
"That's because the only other kid in the car was Charmy and he doesn't pay attention anyways," Espio said referring to the skater in the back who was currently playing a video game on his DS.
"Vector, can't you just let Espio drive?" Amy asked.
"Quit your complaining or I will turn this van around!" Vector yelled before screaming more vulgar comments at an old lady in a buggy.
"Ms. Rouge, how much longer until we reach the donut shop lab thingie?" Cream asked.
"Well at this pace, we should be there right about now."
"Alright we're here!" Vector announce as he parked the car across the street from the shop.
"Next time Espio, you drive," Amy said as she stepped out of the car to get some fresh air.
Charmy and then Rouge stepped out. Charmy handed Rouge a necklace.
"That necklace has a small camera on it. Make sure your wear it so we can see everything going on okay?" Charmy asked as he opened up a laptop.
"Alright," Rouge responded.
"Charmy, you have a laptop?" Cream asked in shock.
"Yeah, Vector got it for me to use to help with tracking things."
"Cool!"
Charmy leaning in close to Cream and whispered, "I also use it to play minecraft and watch Youtube videos. Don't tell him though or else he might take it away from me."
"What are you two whispering about?" Knuckles asked.
"NOTHING!" The 7 year old yelled.
"I better head in their now," Rouge said before she started to walk away.
"Rouge," Amy said.
Rouge turned around, "What?"
Amy smiled, "Thank you...for helping us find Sonic and Tails I mean."
Rouge smiled back, "Don't mention it."
Once she was inside the shop she walked behind the counter and used a pod to go down. Cream, Charmy, Vector, Knuckles and Amy watched from the child's laptop while Espio kept watch to make sure no suspicious people approached them.
"Woah, look at that lab!" Amy exclaimed once Rouge got there.
"He has an underground lab and everything," Knuckles remarked.
Rouge walked down a long hallways and knocked on one of the doors. There was a silence before a fat man bald man with a mustache answered.
"Rouge? What are you doing here on your day off?"
"Just dropping by. I got nothing better to do anyways."
"That must be Robotnik," Amy said.
"Woah, he looks like an egg," Charmy said with a laugh.
"Well miss Rouge you couldn't have stopped by at a better time. I need you to spy on Sonic and Tails for me."
"Sure. Just tell me the coordinate and I'll be on way my way," Rouge responded
"Why certainly, however before I do I must ask you something," Said Robotnik.
"Go ahead."
"I've never seen you wear that kind of necklace before. Is it new?"
The five watching the livestream froze. Uh-oh.
"Why yes it is. I got it in my last jewel heist," Rouge responded, keeping her cool attitude in check.
"I knew she was a dirty jewel thief!" Knuckles yelled earning him a chorus of harsh shushes.
"May I take a closer look at it?" Robotnik asked.
"Knock yourself out," Rouge responded as she took the necklace off and handed it to the scientist.
The 3 teens and 2 children watching through the camera held their breath as Robotnik examined the necklace. It was a minute later when he finally gave the necklace back to Rouge.
"It's a very nice necklace Rouge it compliments you."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome, the thing that really screams Rouge to me though is the camera planted onto the necklace."
Before anything else could be done Rouge bolted.
"Oh no! Rouge!" Charmy yelled.
Amy got up and exited the van.
"Amy! Where are you going!" Knuckles yelled.
"I have to save Rouge!" Amy yelled back as she ran towards the donut shop.
"Vector you stay here and watch Charmy and Cream. I have to go make sure Amy doesn't get herself killed," Knuckles ordered before running out after Amy.
Vector laughed, "Like hell I'm missing out on this."
"Amy," Cream said as she attempted to follow them only to be stopped by Espio.
"You'll only be a hinderance. The best thing to do is to stay here and wait for them to get back," Espio advised.
Amy ran to the pod she saw Rouge entered and had it bring her to the lab. Once there she saw Rouge fighting a group of robots that surrounded her. Amy ran over to aid her, using her piko piko hammer like a weapon which proved to be quite effective.
Knuckles who was hot on Amy's heels followed into battle not long after and used his spiked brass knuckles to destroy the bots. While fighting one of the robots Knuckles didn't notice one of them sneaking up behind him. He only noticed when he heard a crash behind him. He turned around to see that Vector had just destroyed it using a metal pipe.
"Where did you get that pipe from?" Knuckles asked before punching a robot and then stomping on it.
"A good gang leader always has a metal pipe on him incase of a fight," He responded before smacking a robot down with it.
"Less talking more fighting!" Amy commanded as she smashed a robot to pieces and then proceeded to side kick one sending it flying into a wall.
"There's no escape. I'm still in shock, I can't believe Rouge one of my longest employee's betrayed me. I trusted you Rouge," Robotnik responded from the safety of his egg carrier.
"Sonic trusted you and you betrayed him so don't give me any of that bullcrap Eggman!" Rouge shot back using her little nickname instead of his actual name.
"Eggman! Why you little-"
Before he could finish his sentence one of the robots Amy hit during her bot massacre hit Robotnik (or Eggmans) egg carrier so hard that it smashed into a wall causing a small explosion which caused the remaining robots to start to explode.
"Everybody run!" Knuckles yelled.
"The pod can only hold one person at a time!" Amy screamed in horror.
"We'll just have to squeeze in! There are two pods. Me and Amy will take the first pod! You and Vector take the next one!" Rouge explained as they neared the pods. Her and Amy squeezed into one and after that Knuckles and Vector. They ran out of the donut shop and into the van.
"Drive Espio!" Vector ordered.
Espio slammed on the gas exiting the parking lot. Once he was on the road and a good couple miles away Espio let up on the accelerator. The four teens who entered to donut shop were still panting and sweaty but overall unharmed.
"Amy you're okay!" Cream exclaimed happily as she reached over to hug her big sister.
"Hey Amy, you did alright out there," Rouge complimented.
"Thanks, hey that's the first time you didn't call me pinkie," Amy said.
Rouge smirked, "Don't get used to it."
Amy pouted and grumbled 'hey' causing Cream to giggle.
"Well that was a total waste of time. We just trashed Eggman's base and we still don't know where Sonic and Tails are," Vector sighed.
"I wouldn't say that," Charmy replied.
"Why's that?" Knuckles asked.
"Well while we were getting the video feed I had my laptop record it just incase we needed to replay something. While we were watching it Cream noticed a computer behind Eggman and if I enhance the picture it says the coordinates of Sonic and Tails estimated destination.
"Way to go Charmy!" Amy cheered.
"So where are they?" Vector asked.
"Well according to the coordinates….woah!"
"What is it?"
"He's already in Casino City."
"Casino city! It'll take a day to get there and there's no promise he'll even be there by the time we make it!" Amy exclaimed.
"Well it's the only lead we got," Cream stated.
"Looks like we're going to Casino City," Knuckles said.
"Maybe I can find more jewels to 'purchase'," Rouge stated.
"And by purchase you mean steal!" Knuckles yelled.
"Knuckie, whatever gave you that idea?"
"Don't play innocent you dirty little jewel thief! I saw your confession on camera! Charmy even has it on video! Right Charmy!"
"Sorry Knuckles, I didn't record the audio."
"What?!"
"Oh boy, this is going to be a long car trip," Amy sighed.
A/n:The last chapters have been so serious so I decided to end on a light hearted note. I wrote this near the end of November so hopefully this story will be done soon so I can start uploading it. Okay bye.
