Chapter 10: North America VIII
Our heroes are still on the road and don't know that Zazz is still behind them. Tails counties to drive while listening to radio music. Cream plays with Cheese. Sonic and Amy watch the scenery while using binoculars and taking pictures. Knuckles is sleeping, and Tikal is reading a magazine about clothes. When Tails checks on his mirrors, he sees Zazz right behind them.
"Zazz?! But how" said Tails.
Everyone in jeep heard Tails, looks behind, and sees Zazz.
"How long has he been following us," said Sonic.
"Now, you notice?! Pathetic animals are you," said Zazz, annoyed.
"Tails! Step on the gas," said Cream.
"On it."
When Tails hits the pedal to the metal, Zazz starts his motorcycle to go faster.
"He's catching up to us," said Amy. "What do we do now," said Tikal.
"I got this! Hey, Zazz! Would you like some pie," said Knuckles, putting his hand into his backpack.
"Sure…. Why," said Zazz, confused.
Knuckles takes out an apple cinnamon pie and throws it into Zazz's face, causing him to crash.
"Wait?! You have food in there," said Sonic.
"Why sure," said Knuckles.
"Can I have some that pie?"
"There it is, team. Maryland," said Tails, seeing the entrance into the state.
"Sonic, look. It's the White House," said Amy, taking pictures of it.
"Cool. Are we almost to our destination, yet Tails?"
"It's just around the corner."
"Woah! Now, that's the capital," said Cream, seeing the US Capitol.
"The battery is located on top of the capitol; underneath the Statue of Freedom," said Tails.
"Look's like it's time to activate the plane mode," said Tikal.
"Knuckles and Tikal; disconnect the battery. Cream; help them just in case. Tails; keep the plane steady. Amy and I will hold onto the ropes," said Sonic, taking out the ropes.
Our heroes are in the plane, next to the Statue of Freedom. Knuckles and Tikal tie the ropes on each other. And they jump off the plane while Sonic and Amy hold on to them by using the end of the rope. Cream flies to Knuckles and Tikal to help them. The three sees a 2-ft tall battery in a 2-ft plug inside in the capital. Cream goes in, and with help from Cheese, she pushes the battery and plugs out.
She gives it to Tikal, and Cream says, "Is that a bazooka ammo?"
Our heroes see the ammo comes towards them, and it was shot out by Zazz, who's holding the bazooka. Knuckles caught the ammo and threw it back at Zazz. It exploded when it hits Zazz.
"Do that again, and the security will catch you," said Tikal.
"We better leave before the security catches us too," said Amy.
At Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill, our heroes are having dinner.
"I can't believe no one caught us," said Cream.
"Agree. Where do we next, Tails," said Amy.
"To the Golden Bridge in San Francisco, California."
"Is that where Hollywood is?! Sweet. Can we visit that place," said Tikal.
"Maybe; if we have the time to," said Sonic.
"I can't wait to touch some of that gold," said Knuckles.
"Knux, the bridge is not made of real gold," said Tails.
"Aw, man."
"Yeah, I understand your disappointment too," said Tikal.
"So, we all meet at 7 am tomorrow," said Cream.
"That's right. since California is far away from Maryland. We need to leave early," said Sonic.
Morning came, and our heroes are walking out of the lobby with tired eyes.
"I can't believe we have to get up this early," said Amy.
"Um…Sonic," said Tails.
"WHAT?! Sorry, I'm grouchy when I'm still sleeping."
"Look."
Our heroes see Zazz sleeping on the lobby couch. Our heroes quietly and tiptoed past Zazz to get to the exit. When our heroes got to the exit, they run to the jeep, and Tails turns it back into a plane. They put their luggage in the trunk, close it, jumps in their seats, and buckle up. Tails start the plane and fly it.
"It will take us 4 hours and 58 minutes to get there, so enjoy the ride passengers," said Tails.
