Chapter 2: The Mission Begins

Morning is here with sunny and clear skies. At Eggman's base, Eggman is in his main office and typing on his computer.

"Sir, they have arrived," said Metal Sonic, walking to Eggman.

When shadow figures opened the door, Eggman said, "ahh! You must be the Deadly Six, the best bounty hunters in the world."

"Yes, we are," said Zavok.

"Great. You must be the team leader, Zavok. I'm the evil Dr. Eggman. I have an important job for you. I need you to find Team Sonic. And steal the black key. If you succeed, you will be handsomely rewarded, and you can have anything you want. Do we have a deal?"

"Anything we want?"

"Yes, indeed."

"What you do say, team?"

"I say, yes. That means free crazy motorcycles for me," said Zazz.

"All the clothes in the world. I'm in," said Zeena.

"That means more gardens to tend and take, too," said Master Zik.

"A lot of dark places to scare people," said Zor.

"All the food I can eat," said Zomom.

"We're in, doctor," said Zavok, reaching out for a handshake.

"You had made the best decision of your lives," said Eggman, shaking his hand.

At a café, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, Amy, and Tikal were waiting on their food.

A human waitress came to them with a food carriage and said, "sorry for the wait. One strawberry muffin and pink lemonade for the blue one. One blueberry muffin and water for the pink one. 3 plain pancakes with extra whip cream and apple juice for the yellow one. 3 chocolate pancakes and apple juice for the white one. One breakfast sandwich with a side of sliced oranges and orange juice for the red one. And a fruit salad and fruit punch for the orange one. Enjoy."

When the waitress returns, the heroes start eating. While they were eating, Tails takes out the Eggman's plan file.

"Are you guys finished? Cause I'm already done," said Tails, moving his dishes away and puts the file in front of him.

"Yes, we are," said Cream.

Then the waitress comes back and takes their dirty dishes away.

"Alright, Tails. What's the juice," said Sonic, drinking his lemonade.

"I have apple juice."

"He meant the info., Tails. Not that," said Amy.

"Sorry. I did a lot of calculating and research. Eggman is planning to control everyone's brains. By setting a hypnotic single device in every continent around the world."

"All of them? Even Antarctica," said Tikal.

"Yeah. And the devices are charged up by a lot of batteries. And the only thing that could activate them is; a black key. Aw, shoot! I realized something."

"What's that," said Knuckles.

"There's the main controller in Eggman's Main Base. And Eggman will become easily active all of them with one turn of the key. We need to go get it."

"You mean this key," said Amy, holding out the key.

"That's key. Amy, where did you get?"

"It was in the Vault."

"Great work, Ames," said Sonic while hiding his blushing.

"Thanks," said Amy, blushing.

"Anyway, we may have the key. But we still need to disconnect the batteries and destroy the devices," said Tails.

"Let me guess; we have traveled around the world to defeat him," said Knuckles.

"Wow! You just read my mind."

"Alright, team. Time to pack our bags. Where do we go first," said Sonic.

"First, we're going to North America aka 'The Land of the Free'. We're going to Waimea Canyon State Park, Hawaii," said Tails.

"Ok. Team; when you get home, eat your lunch, say your goodbye, pack your bags and meet at the entrance to the village."

"I'll leave 10 gold rings," said Amy.

"Alright. See you guys at 1 pm."

Then the team leaves the café and goes straight home.

At Eggman's Base, the Deadly Six were sitting down on a couch, and Eggman stands in front of them.

Eggman grabs a remote and said, "Listen, my bounty hunters. This is the target for your manhunt."

When he pressed the remote button, a tv screen appeared on the wall and showed a video of Team Sonic running.

"Wow. Who's the handsome blue hedgehog," said Zeena, with her eyes wide and swoon by Sonic's appearance.

"Umm? That's their team leader, Sonic the Hedgehog. He's my arch enemy. The yellow two-tailed fox is Miles Tails Prower. The white rabbit with Chao is Cream the Rabbit, Tails' little girlfriend. Knuckles the Echidna is the red one. And his girlfriend is the orange one; Tikal the Echidna. And the pink hedgehog is Sonic's girlfriend, Amy Rose."

"WHAT?! No fair! What does she have that I don't?"

"A kind personality, a nice smile, pretty hair, a positive attitude, good looks, talents, and friends."

"Can I kill that pink brat and kidnap that blue hot hedgehog?"

"Ok?"

"DR EGGMAN! DOCTOR EGGMAN, SIR! This is an emergency," said Cubot, running to Eggman.

"What? What is it?"

"Our sources tell us that Team Sonic is heading to North America. What should we do?"

"Deadly Six, I need one of you to go to North America and steal that key."

"I'll go," said Zazz.

"No fair. I want to go," said Zeena.

"Chill, Zeena. I kill that pink hedgehog for you."

"Really? Thanks."

"It's nice to have a volunteer. Use one of my airships. In fact, you will have your own," said Eggman, giving him the keys.

"Don't worry, boss. They'll know what hit them," said Zazz, taking the keys and runs off.

At the entrance of the town, Tails is loading his yellow suitcase in the trunk.

"Where are they," said Tails.

Then, Sonic runs up to Tails.

"Sorry, buddy. I had a lot of things to pack; since we're going to travel around the world," said Sonic, put his blue suitcase in the airplane trunk.

"It's cool. Have you seen Cream yet?"

"Nope. And you're still crushing on her."

"I think she's cute and sweet. At least, I'm not shy to compliment her like you are to Amy."

"Oh, stop."

"You started it."

"Hey, guys. Talking about your crushes, I see," said Knuckles, put his backpack in the trunk.

"Shh! Stop, they'll hear you," said Sonic.

"They're not even here yet. Out of all of the fangirls that crushed on you, you fell for Amy."

"Well, at least I don't drink too many drinks that have her color as you do to Tikal."

"Hey!"

"Sorry."

"Hi, guys," said Cream, carrying her white suitcase while Cheese carries his small suitcase.

"Hi, Cream. You need help," said Tails, taking her luggage and puts it in the trunk.

"That's very sweet of you, Tails."

"Thanks."

Tails immediately turn away from Cream to blush.

"I can't wait for Amy to get here. We're going to travel everywhere," said Tikal, putting her bag and orange suitcase in the trunk.

"Tikal?! How did you get here," said Knuckles.

"It was just a walk."

"Sonic, what are you doing," said Tails.

"I just smelling roses," said Sonic, smelling a rose bush.

"Ok, why?"

"They're nice. You got to smell this big rose. It's super nice."

"Aw, that's sweet of you, Sonic. And you're smelling my hair," said Amy.

"Woah! I'm sorry, Amy."

"It's ok."

Amy puts her pink suitcase in the trunk and closes it.

"Where did you think you're going, faker," said Shadow.

"Shadow. Go away."

"Why, Amy. You look pretty today. It's too bad you have to join the faker's team."

Shadow grabbed Amy's hand and was about to kiss it until he was pulled away by Sonic grabs his tail.

"Um, thank you," said Amy, who's confused.

"Excuse us, Amy," said Sonic, pulling Shadow away from her.

"Listen, Shadow. How many times have I told you? Stay away from Amy. She's mine."

"Jealousy, aren't you? It's not my fault that I like, like, like her too."

"There's no way she'll choose you over me."

"Why?"

"Because you're creepy."

"I'm not creepy."

"You never smile unless Amy is around you."

"Soon, you will see, Sonic. That Amy wants me to be hers, and she belongs to me. 'Good luck' trying to impress her, faker."

While Shadow leaves, Sonic tries to attack but was hold down by Tails and Knuckles.

Sonic screams out, "let me at him! Let me go, you guys! I want to kick his tail! I'm going rip off his eyeballs and shove them down to his throat! Then, I'll tear off his skin and fur off; limb from limb! And tear his legs off and stick them his ears along with his arms!"

"Sonic, calm down. Dude, I know he wants to have Amy as much as you want her too. But not right now, ok," said Knuckles, calming him.

"He's right. Save those things for the enemy," said Tails.

"You're right. I'll save them for the enemy, and after that…. I'M GOING TO STANGLE HIM TO HIS DEATH," said Sonic, still trying to attack Shadow.

"What's the matter with you and Shadow, Sonic," said Amy.

"Yeah! What you are two always fighting about," said Tikal.

"It's none of your business," said Sonic, walking calmly to the wing of the plane and gets on it.

"What you mean we don't need to know," said Cream.

"You really don't want to know. It's ugly," said Knuckles getting the other wing of the plane.

"Very, very, very ugly," said Tails, getting on the pilot seat.

"We're still going to Hawaii, Tails?"

"Of course, Cream."

Cream climbs into the co-pilot seat with Cheese.

"How long will it take us to Hawaii," said Amy, climb onto Sonic's wing.

"7 hours and 5 mins," said Tails, starting the engine.

"That long?! Well, get there at 8:05 pm," said Tikal, climbing onto Knuckles' wing.

"At least, we'll have time to relax when we get there."

"You're right, Tails. And we're off," said Sonic.

Then the airplane flies away. Let the mission begin as the journey continues….
