Chapter 8: North America VI
3 hours and 27 minutes later, our heroes are flying above Missouri.
"What's the Arch again, Tails," said Sonic.
"It is clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a weighted catenary arch. It is the world's tallest arch, the tallest manufactured monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri's tallest accessible building."
"My question is how did Eggman put the battery on top of it," said Tikal, seeing a 4-ft tall battery in a 4-ft on top of the Arch.
"Knuckles, swoop down, and disconnect the battery and plug from it. Tails, keep the plane steady. Cream will help Knuckles get the battery. While Tikal, Amy, and I will hold on to Knux," said Sonic, taking out a rope.
Knuckles ties the rope around his body and falls to the top of the Arch while Tikal, Amy, and Sonic hold the end of the rope. Cream goes to the battery and waits for Knuckles. When he got there, he and Cream worked together to disconnect the battery and the plug. Meanwhile, Zazz climbs all the way to the top of the Arch.
When Tails sees him, he said, "hurry you two, Zazz is coming."
Zazz grabbed Cream and said, "hand over the key, or I'll have a lucky rabbit's foot."
"I'm a bunny," said Cream.
"Whatever."
Knuckles punches Zazz in the face and frees Cream. Cream takes the battery and the plug to the plane. Sonic, Amy, and Tikal pulled Knuckles back up to the plane. And Tails quickly flies away.
"That was close," said Tikal.
"Did he hurt you, Cream," said Tails.
"No, I'm fine."
"Now, where do we go," said Amy.
"To a hotel," said Knuckles.
At Drury Plaza Hotel, our heroes are staying for the night. Cream is having a nightmare, and she wakes up Amy and Tikal with her scream.
"Are you ok," said Amy, turning on the lamp.
"I just had a future nightmare."
"Was it the one that Tails reject you're feeling for him," said Tikal.
"No. It's the one that we failed our mission to save the world. And the world has gone into chaos and worldwide panic."
"Don't worry, Cream. That will never happen. Now, go back to sleep," said Amy, turning off the lamp.
At the lobby, the girls wait for the boys to get there. When they arrived, Tails goes to Cream and said, "was everything ok last night? I heard you scream."
"It's ok. I just had a nightmare."
"You should've seen Tails when he has nightmares. It's hilarious," said Knuckles, laughing.
"Dude! Not in front of her," said Tails, punching his arm.
"Where are we going now, boys," said Amy.
"To New York," said Sonic.
"I hope they have cooler souvenirs. I got a postcard of St Louis, Missouri," said Tikal.
"It will take us 5 hours to get there. Since it's 8 o'clock, we'll get there at 1 pm," said Tails.
Our heroes go to the roof, where Tails parked the plane.
Zazz appeared with nunchakus when they got there and said, "prepare for the brutal pain of your life."
Amy easily defeats him by smacking him with her hammer. He flew into the air and landed in a poison ivy patch.
"That was too easy," said Amy.
