Chapter 9: North America VII
Our heroes fly above New York, and they landed on the island of the Statue of Liberty.
When they got off the plane, Amy said, "guys, let's get a picture before we go in."
When the team gets together, and Amy takes a group selfie with a camera.
"Rouge is going to be so jealously," said Tikal.
"I know," said Cream.
"According to my calculations, the battery is at the top of the statue," said Tails, opening the door to go in.
"There they are! Get them," said Zazz, running to the heroes with egg bots.
"Run," said Sonic, going in and close the door in front of the enemy when his whole team got in.
Our heroes continue to run to the top. When they were halfway there, Zazz opens the door and chases after them with the bots.
"They're gating on us," said Amy, seeing them.
"I got an idea," said Knuckles, taking out a stick of butter from his backpack.
"How in the world is butter going to help us," said Tails.
"You'll see."
Knuckles puts the butter on a step and catches up to his friends. When Zazz steps on the butter, he slips, lands on the bots, and they fall all the way back down.
When our heroes got to the top and saw what's happening to their enemies, Tikal said, "smart thinking, Knuckles."
"Thanks, Tikal."
"I underestimated you," said Tails.
"That's ok."
Our heroes see a 2-ft tall battery in a 2-ft plug. And Tails disintegrated it. Sonic sees Zazz and the bots coming back up, so he closes the door with help from Knuckles.
"What's going," said Cream, hearing Zazz trying to barge in.
"Open the door! Open, or I'll huff and puff and bulldoze in there," said Zazz, on the other side of the door.
"We need to get out of here," said Tikal.
"I got an idea. But it's pretty dangerous and stupid," said Tails, going to the window.
"On three, we jump out the window," said Sonic, going to the window with the others.
"What?! Are you insane," said Amy.
"Trust Tails. He knows what he's doing. One, two, three."
When Zazz finally opens the door, our heroes jump out of the window. Tails grab Sonic's hand, and Sonic holds on to Amy. Cream grabs onto Knuckles' hand, and Knuckles holds on to Tikal. Tails and Cream start floating together down while holding on to their friends.
"Hey! No fair," said Zazz while shaking his fist at the heroes.
At the World Center Hotel, Sonic and Knuckles are sleeping while Tails studies Eggman's plan files.
"So, the next battery is in the US Capitol in Washington D.C. at Maryland," said Tails.
"Tails, go to sleep. It's 10 o'clock," said Sonic while sleeping.
"Ok."
Tails put the files away, goes to bed, and sleeps.
At the lobby, our heroes are talking about the next battery location.
"Are you sure they'll let us in," said Cream.
"Believe me. They will. We'll pretend to look like tourists, and I'll take care of the battery," said Tails.
"Is it cute, Amy? It's the small replica of the Statue of Liberty," said Tikal, showing it to her.
"She's cute when she's that small."
"Did you guys listen to where we're going," said Tails.
"Yes, we did."
"Ok. Since Maryland is not so far, we'll go there by car. It will take us 7 hours and 16 minutes to get there."
"So, it's 10 o'clock right now. Then we'll be there at 5:16," said Knuckles, taking out a pocket watch and puts it back in his backpack.
When our heroes go to the parking lot, Tails turns the plane into the jeep. When they got in the jeep, they drove off. But they don't know that Zazz is right behind them on a motorcycle.
