Chapter 33: Europe V
9:10 am(USA time 9:10 pm) in Paris, France. Team Sonic is flying above the city; Paris.
"Paris is one of the most popular cities among travelers. Known as the "City of Light" or the "City of Love," the streets of Paris overflow with culture, art, beauty, and history. Whether searching out Monet's Water Lilies at Musée de l'Orangerie, climbing the many steps of Sacré-Cœur, standing before the Eiffel Tower in awe, or searching out the best crepes along the Seine, Paris is a city that captures the hearts of millions every year," said Amy, reading from her guidebook.
"Great French-speaking, Ames," said Sonic.
"Thanks."
"Arc de Triomphe, our first stop in Paris. And if my research is correct, the ray should be here in France," said Tails.
"Even your French-speaking is great," said Cream.
"Aw, thanks."
"Arc de Triomphe… Here it is! Arc de Triomphe is a great monument located in Paris which stands in "Charles De Gaulle." The arc was built as an honor for those who fought for France, especially during the Napoleonic wars. There are names of the generals and the wars fought engraved inside and at the top of the arch. Underneath the arch, there is a tomb of a soldier of World War I who is still unknown. This great arch has a height of 50 meters, a width of 45 meters, and a depth of 22 meters, making it the second-largest triumph arc in the world. It comprises three arcs, where two are small, and the other is a large arc. The large arc is 9 feet wide and 21 feet in height. The Roman arch of Titus inspired the design of the arc," said Amy.
"I see it! Cool," said Tikal, taking pictures of it.
"The battery is onto of it," said Knuckles, looking down.
When the plane is flying above the Triomphe, everyone looked down and saw a 2ft battery on a 2ft plug on the top of the Arc.
"Come on, Cheese! We're up," said Cream, flying to the battery with Cheese.
As they disable it, Tikal said, "I got a text message from Blaze. She on a date with Silver."
"Cool. Where are they at," said Amy.
"At the Eiffel Tower."
"That's our next stop," said Tails.
"Tikal, send a return and tell them to find a strange battery on a strange plug," said Sonic.
When Tikal send it, she said, "Blaze said they found one; somewhere in the middle of the Tower."
"How does that Silver know how to win a girl," said Knuckles.
"We got to talk to him more often. You know to get some advice on how to impress girls," said Tails.
"Agree. I need to beat Shadow before it's too late," said Sonic.
"We got the battery and plug," said Cream, who flies back to the plane with Cheese holding the battery and plug.
"Next stop, the Eiffel Tower," said Tails, turns the plane back into the jeep.
The jeep landed on the street safely. And the Team drives off to the Eiffel Tower.
9:17 am (USA time 9:17 pm) … Team Sonic made it to the Eiffel Tower. They see Silver and Blaze coming out of the elevator of the Tower.
"Silver! Blaze! Long time no see," said Sonic, as he and his team coming out of the jeep.
"Team Sonic! Good to see you again," said Silver.
"Blaze! We missed you so much," said Cream, hugging her with Amy, Tikal, and Cheese.
"I missed you too," said Blaze.
"What brings you here at Paris, anyway? Is it triple date," said Silver.
"NO! We're not on a triple date," said Sonic, blushes and gets embarrassed.
"We're on a mission to save the world," said Tails, blushing.
"That involves batteries to charge up a mega hypno-signal," said Knuckles, blushing.
"Ok. Good luck," said Silver and Blaze, leaving the Tower.
"Ok, Team. Let's roll," said Amy, enters the elevator.
As the elevator takes the Team Sonic to the middle floor, they found a 4ft battery in a 4ft plug guarded by a group of Badniks.
"Finally! A fight that we're hoping for," said Knuckles, cracking his fists.
As the Team fought them, Zeena is above them on the Tower. She quickly captures Sonic by holding his mouth to keep him quiet and shoves him into the sack where she kept the Crown Jewels.
"The battery is disabled," said Tails, finished disabling it.
"Hey, where's Sonic," said Amy.
"I haven't seen him," said Cream.
"Sonic! Where is that hedgehog," said Tikal.
"Look! Up there," said Knuckles, noticing Zeena at the top of the Tower while carrying a sack on her back.
"You again! Release Sonic," said Amy, takes out her hammer.
"Never. Until you hand over the key, pinkie," said Zeena.
"Get me out here! Help! What is this?! The Crown Jewels," said Sonic, struggling to escape.
"I was right! You did steal the Crown Jewels," said Tails.
"If you want to see him again, come here. Hahahahaha," said Zeena, jumps on what appears to look like Eggman's Eggmoble, flies away with the captured Sonic, and tosses a ticket at Sonic's teammates.
"Save me, guys," said Sonic, struggling inside the sack.
"SONIC! We got to go after them," said Amy, worried.
"What's this? A ticket to a theme park," said Knuckles, catches the ticket.
"This ticket might lead us to the ray, the Crown Jewels, and Sonic," said Tails.
"It says Futuroscope," said Tikal.
"I've heard it. It's in Vienne, France," said Cream.
"Come! Let's go," said Amy, goes to the elevator.
"But Amy, it's 3 hours and 50 minutes away," said Tails.
"Don't care! We got to save Sonic before it's too late!"
The Team jumps into their jeep and drove off to rescue Sonic, recover the Crown Jewels, get to the ray and defeat Zeena.
