Chapter 11: North America IX
Our heroes are still flying.
"Did you get a souvenir, Tikal," said Cream.
"Yeah. I got a snow globe with the White House; inside."
"I can't believe I got to take a picture of Las Vegas; back there," said Amy, putting the photo in the picture book.
"Why do you take pictures anyway," said Knuckles.
"It's obvious that we're going to travel around the world. And we need things to remember the places we visit."
"Look, I can see Hollywood," said Sonic, seeing the Hollywood sign.
When Amy takes pictures of Hollywood, Tails said, "we're here at last; California. We'll be at the Golden Bridge in no time."
"Rouge is going to be so jealous when I show her these pictures," said Amy, putting the photos in the picture book.
Then a light beamed almost hit their plane but misses. It came from Zazz, who's riding a warplane.
"You thought you could get away from me that easy," said Zazz.
"Gahh! How did he find us," said Knuckles.
"Tikal, lightning storm," said Sonic.
"Roger that."
Tikal puts her hands on her head, thus causing a gray cloud to appear above Zazz and shocks him.
"I hate echidnas with natural powers," said Zazz, falling.
"How can I make a storm without brainstorm? HA! Get it," said Tikal.
The team laughs at her joke and continues flying.
Our heroes finally made it to the Golden Bridge.
While Amy takes pictures of it, she said, "I wish it were made of real gold."
"If it is, then a bat like a thief will try to steal it," said Sonic.
"Good one, Sonic."
When Tails land the plane next to the bridge, he transforms back into a large fishing boat.
He put on a captain's hat and said, "My calculations say the battery is under the bridge."
"Tikal, can I borrow a sailor hat," said Cream.
"Sure thing."
She takes a sailor hat out of her handbag and puts it's on Cream.
"All aboard on the S. S. Sonic," said Tails, honks the horn.
"Gross! Knuckles! Did I told you to go easy on the burritos," said Sonic, hearing the horn, thought Knuckles made gas and cover his nose.
"It's not me. It's the horn of this boat."
They see a 4-ft tall battery in a 4-ft plug attached underneath the bridge when they made it under the bridge.
"Ok. Amy, you and I will detach the battery and the plug. Tails and Cream; you help us get up there. Knuckles and Tikal; guard the boat in case you know who comes around," said Sonic.
Tails and Cream flies and grabs Sonic and Amy. They fly them to the battery and plug. While Sonic and Amy detach the battery and plug, Knuckles and Tikal guards the boat. Then Zazz appeared on a speedboat and head to the heroes.
"Seriously, how does he do that," said Knuckles, seeing Zazz coming to them.
"I got this," said Tikal, looking at the water.
Then the water comes to life in the form of a hand. It grabs Zazz and throws him far away from the heroes.
"You animals haven't seen the last of the Deadly Six and me," said Zazz while being thrown into the air.
When Tails, Cream, Sonic, and Amy comes back into the boat, Sonic said, "the battery is detached."
"Great. Tikal saved us from Zazz," said Knuckles.
"Aw, you're welcome," said Tikal, blushing.
At Argonaut Hotel, our heroes are enjoying their dinner in the hotel's dining room.
"Man, this place is fancy," said Sonic.
"I got some good news and bad news," said Tails.
"What's the good news," said Cream.
"The good news is that we have two more batteries left in this country."
"Cool. What about the ray," said Amy.
"That's the bad news. I still can't find it."
"Is there any clues about its location," said Knuckles.
"All I found about this ray: is where the cowboys hang up flags with 6T on them."
"Really, that's it? Those are the clues," said Tikal.
"Yeah. And it doesn't make any sense either. Anyway, there's a battery at Chichen Itza in Mexico."
"Are you serious? It's far away from California," said Sonic.
"I'm not kidding. It looks like we need to get up really early tomorrow."
