Hey guys, it's me again. I really hope that you're enjoying this story as much as I am. I spend day and night working on this story. Don't believe me? After I publish a chapter, I immediately start up a new chapter. I do have a life though if anybody asks XD. Anyway, enjoy this chapter!
Sonic: Hi I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! Oh man, we split up into pairs so we can find all the Chaos Emeralds faster. Lilac took me to place called Shang Mu to talk to their Royal Magister. Of course they're trying to slow us down to our goal. Guess it's time to go back to my old adventure day, breaking and entering.
Chapter 4
Sonic and Lilac are running out of the palace. Warriors of Shang Tu is standing in front of the exit holding their shields up. Lilac's eyes widens.
Lilac: They're blocking the entrance!
Sonic: Not for long!
Sonic rolls into a ball and knocks them all down like pinballs.
Sonic: STRIKE!
He yells out. Lilac jumps over the guards and exits the palace. Sonic lands next to Lilac, smirking.
Lilac: Sorry Royal Magister, but my friend needs those Chaos Emeralds!
They both increased their speed, creating a sonic boom.
Thirty minutes early with Eggman. Him and General Zao are in Shang Mu's laboratory watching scientists making egg pawns with unique designing that resembles what Shang Mu's warriors would wear.
Zao: This is excellent!
A five plus with the word "Excellent' appears above him.
Eggman: Yes indeed, Mayor Zao. By the way, can you tell me more about this... Kingdom Stone that powers up all the machines?
Zao looks at him.
Zao: So you want to know about the Kingdom Stone?
He clears his throat.
Zao: Very well... Long ago... the Kingdom Stone was used for a starship that brought Ancient Dragons to Avalice. The Avalians were in a energy crisis, so the Ancient Dragons decided to give them the stone that they used to travel here. The three kingdoms Shang Tu, Shang Mu, and Shanguing are no longer in a crisis. The orb was located in the Royal Palace in Shang Tu, but now it's destroyed.
Eggman puts his hands behind his back in deep thoughts as he was listening.
Eggman: So a orb like that could help you guys build machinery and other stuff like that?
Zao: Exactly.
Eggman looks at most of the robots that are done, and most of them almost complete.
Eggman: Incredible... So like the Chaos Emeralds, they can power up machinery... Interesting...
He says to himself.
Zao: There are more stories I can tell you about the orb, but I don't like telling a lot of stories.
Eggman: Oh no, no... I think I've heard enough.
He starts chuckling evilly.
Present time with Sonic and Lilac, Lilac is leading him underground where they are keeping the Chaos Emerald at. The two duo are standing on an elevator that Lilac used previously to get the Kingdom Stone.
Sonic: So is this where they're holding the Chaos Emerald at?
Lilac nods.
Lilac: It's the only place where they can hide something like that.
Sonic crosses his arms.
Sonic: Oh, we're acting like a plumber that goes underground by using green pipes?
Lilac scoffs, rolling her eyes.
Lilac: You can say that.
Sonic chuckles. Soon, the elevator stops.
Lilac: Alright, the emerald should be this way.
Lilac was about to walk, but Sonic quickly grabs her arm. She turns back and looks at him.
Lilac: What's wrong Sonic?
Sonic smirks.
Sonic: Lets make this more interesting. You're fast enough to keep up with me. I usually don't have anyone that's as fast as me except for my rival and Metal Sonic.
Lilac stares at him in confusion.
Lilac: So you're implying that we should race?
Sonic nods his head excitingly.
Sonic: You can read my mind perfectly.
Lilac scratches her head.
Lilac: Uh... Sure.
She smirks at his idea.
Lilac: That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Sonic pulls his gloves down and gets in his racing stance.
Sonic: Don't worry, I'll make sure not to leave you far behind.
Lilac gets in her racing stance as well, having her competitive face on.
Lilac: You won't win that easy!
Sonic chuckles.
Sonic: On your mark!
Lilac: Get set!
Both: GO!
They both screamed out as both of them gets a nice head start. They are beside each other running at the same speed. Soon, Sonic jumps in the air taking an alternate pathway. Lilac stays where she's at, not wanting Sonic think she's trying to cheat. When Sonic landed, he does his new technique, the drop dash. He breaks through most of the enemies that was in his way. Lilac is jumping off of most of the enemies to gain some speed. She soon spins in circles while her long hair is hitting all the enemies out the way as she moves forward. After that, she uses dragon boost to speed up. Sonic is now running along the walls skipping some sections, but then hops off and uses homing attacks on most of the enemies. Lilac bounces off a spring, then uses her drop kick to run down a hill. Sonic accidentally jumps off a builder, causing it to roll forward. The boulder starts rolling down the same hill that Lilac is on. Sonic lands beside her once again. They both looked at each other, smirking as the boulder is rolling towards them. They soon increased their speed, creating a big boom. They suddenly hit a spring that bounced them upwards to another spring. The boulder collides into a wall and breaks into pieces. As they hit the last spring, they went high into the air towards a bunch of bats that are flying towards them. The two duo suddenly jumps again, doing an awesome trick, miss running into them.
Sonic: YAHOO!
Lilac: ALRIGHT!
They yelled out together. Minutes later, they arrived where the red Chaos Emerald is at. They slowed down a little and jogged over.
Lilac: That was fun. We should do that again sometimes.
Lilac happily says to him. Sonic chuckles, then sticks his thumbs up. Lilac looks away blushing a little, but shakes it off.
Lilac: Anyway, is this it?
Sonic walks up to it and grabs the Chaos Emerald.
Sonic: This is it alright. Two down, five to go. Luckily, the others have found it.
Lilac nods in agreement.
Lilac: Yeah, lets-
Suddenly, the ground starts shaking below them.
Sonic: W- what is that?!
Suddenly, Shang Tu's warriors breaks through from above, surrounding them.
Lilac: We're surrounded, Sonic!
Sonic grunts, watching them wield their swords and shield. General Gong walks from behind, irate.
Gong: I am not happy... Not happy. Especially you, Lilac. You saved us a year ago and now... You betrayed us.
Lilac sighs.
Lilac: I am truly sorry Gong, but we really need-
Neela: No more explanations, you two caused enough trouble today.
Neela states as she walks from behind Gong with her weapon. Sonic scoffs.
Sonic: This game of cats and mouse is going out of hand. I would try to get out of this circle, but I don't want Lilac to get hurt.
Neela: Wise choice, hedgehog.
Lilac: Sonic, you didn't-
Sonic sticks hand up, then looks at her.
Sonic: No, no... let them be royal and capture us.
Lilac sighs. Minutes later, they get thrown into the Royal Jail by Gong and Neela.
Neela: And stay in there. Don't do anything stupid like last time.
They both walked away. Lilac walks over to the bars and grabs it. Sonic walks over to a corner and sits in it.
Sonic: You've already been in here before?
Lilac closes her eyes and looks down.
Lilac: Yes... me, Milla, Carol... and another friend. It's a long story, so...
Sonic pulls his knees to his chest and wraps his arms around them.
Sonic: You can go ahead and tell me about your adventure last year. I bet it was as awesome than a couple of adventures I had myself.
Sonic says trying to lighten things up. Lilac opens her eyes, then looks at him.
Lilac: Sure.
She walks over and sits next to him.
Meanwhile with Eggman, he's drawing out a secret weapon on a blueprint. He's sitting inside his office that Zao gave him. One of the Royal Guards knocks on the door and opens it.
" Mayor Eggman, Zao would like a word with you."
Eggman: I'm busy working on something. By the way, I need you and the rest of the guards to give me some resources. I will make a list of them.
The guard bows.
"As you wish."
The guard walks out the room. Eggman was about to continue his work until Zao busts in.
Zao: Hi! Came in because I knew you were going to say no, sooo...
Eggman mumbles under his breath.
Zao: Anyway... Those robots out there looks FANTASTIC! Especially the big one.
He throws confetti in the air in a buoyant mood.
Eggman: Yeah, yeah... now what do you want?
Eggman asks, already a bit annoyed.
Zao: I was thinking of where we should go first to find those Chaos Emeralds?
Eggman shrugs.
Eggman: I don't know! You know this place more than me!
Zao rubs his muzzle, then a lightbulb appears above his head.
Zao: Maybe I can make most of the robots go the two Kingdoms that might have the Emeralds.
Eggman: Then go do it!
Zao runs excitingly out the room. Eggman shakes his head, then sighs.
Eggman: Buffoon.
Several hours later with Lilac and Sonic, it's now night time. Lilac has told Sonic about the events that happened a year ago about Brevon trying to steal the Kingdom Stone so he could use it for his starship. Sonic, surprisingly, is interested in her story that she tells him. He was so interested that he asked more about Brevon and the Kingdom Stone.
Sonic: ... so the Kingdom Stone actually powers up everything?
Lilac nods her head.
Lilac: Yeah.. it's very cool.
Sonic: You can say that.
He looks up at the ceiling.
Sonic: The Chaos Emeralds can do the same, but can do other unique things that are unexplainable.
Lilac raises a brow.
Lilac: Wow, these Emeralds sure can do a lot. Are you sure that you're not lying to us and just want the Emerald to be rich?
Sonic shakes his head.
Sonic: I don't lie to my best friend.
Lilac looks at him with a surprising look.
Lilac: Best friend?
Sonic nods, then sticks his thumbs up smirking.
Sonic: If you approve of it.
Lilac stares at him.
Lilac: Y- yeah, that sounds cool to me.
Sonic: Cool!
Sonic puts his hands behind his head, then sides his back on the wall, relaxing. Lilac looks away for a brief moment, then looks back at Sonic.
Lilac: By the way... this Amy girl that your friend implied... Do you really not like her?
Sonic: Oh yeah, I like her... as a friend you know.
Lilac: Oh... then how come you always runaway from her?
Sonic scoffs.
Sonic: Forcing someone to marry them is something I don't like.
He states. He closes is eyes.
Sonic: Another reason why is because she's just a fan girl and-
Lilac: Awwe, Sonic has a fan girl.
Lilac playfully pulls his cheek. Sonic groans.
Sonic: She's only 13, Lilac. I am sixteen.
Lilac: Oh...
She rubs the back of her head, awkwardly.
Lilac: Sorry... Hey, I'm sixteen too.
Sonic rubs his nose, smirking.
Sonic: Sweet!... I remember my friends threw me a birthday party for my sixteenth.
He stretches.
Sonic: It was awesome.
Lilac: Really? Carol and Milla threw me a birthday party too. It was actually really fun, especially hanging out with them you know.
She looks away.
Lilac: I would hate that something bad happens to them. I'm actually glad that Milla knows how to do a little martial arts to protect herself from danger.
Sonic: Sounds like Tails...
Lilac looks at him.
Sonic: Tails grown strong over the past years.
He looks up at the ceiling, smirking.
Sonic: He always depends on me for everything, but now... he knows how to take care of himself very well.
Lilac chuckles a little. For awhile, they were enjoying talking to each other and messing around. the more they talked to each other, the more Lilac starts to get very interested in Sonic, despite being only a day.
The next morning, General Gong is patrolling the entrance as usual. While standing there looking bored, he sees a bunch of trucks that has egg pawns in them.
Gong: What the?!
He was shocked and puzzled seeing robots driving the trucks with Mayor Zao sitting in the front. They soon stopped in front of him. Mayor Zao hops off and walks towards him.
Gong: Oh boy...
He says to himself, not happy seeing the red panda again.
Zao: It's nice to see you again my friend
Gong rolls his eyes.
Gong: Since when did we ever became friends?
Neela hops out of nowhere and lands next to Gong.
Neela: What do you want, Mayor Zao?
Zao closes his eyes and sticks his finger up.
Zao: I came by to see if you have seen any emeralds that are multicolor like the one in my staff.
Both the warriors looks at the blue chaos emerald that is inside the orb.
Neela: Hey, that looks like the same one that we have in the Kingdom Stone's shrine.
Zao: That's all I need to know.
Zao walks over to the truck and hops back in it.
zao: Robots! CHARGE!
He yells out. The trucks starts riding pass them fast as they watch in awe.
Gong: WE HAVE CODE RED! MAYOR ZAO IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO THE SHRINE!
Gong yells out. A bunch of helicopters and trucks passes them, as they are pursuing the trucks. The helicopters starts shooting at most of the trucks, causing them to flip over and explode. Zao looks back with his eyes wide.
Zao: Pick up the pace!
He yells at the egg pawn. The egg pawn starts accelerating with the rest of the trucks. Meanwhile in the prison, Lilac and Sonic are asleep. Lilac is resting her head on Sonic's shoulder, comfortably. Sonic has his hands together, resting them on his stomach. Lilac slowly wakes, rubbing her eyes. She soon realizes that she's lying her head on Sonic's shoulder. She quickly sits up and blushes. She stares at him for a bit.
Lilac: Wow... I really didn't notice how cute he is.
She said to herself, admiring Sonic's beauty. Lilac slowly reaches for his chest and slowly rubs it. She feels his chest muscle, surprising her a bit.
Lilac: He has chest muscles? It didn't even look like he had any at all... Oh man, I feel awkward doing this...
She soon stops. She sighs and looks away until she starts hearing loud noises coming from outside.
Lilac: Huh?! W- what's going on?
Sonic eyes suddenly shoot open from the loud noise.
Sonic: H-huh?... What was that?!
Sonic hops up and looks around.
Lilac: It's coming from outside!
Sonic: We need to figure out how to get out of here!
Sonic looks around for a way out.
Lilac: There's no way out of here!
Sonic sees dirt on the ground. He smirks, as he walks over to the pile of dirt.
Sonic: Yes there is.
Lilac looks at him puzzled. Suddenly dirt is going all over the place from Sonic using his spin dash to dig underground. He soon goes deeper in the ground and stops. she walks over and looks down in the hole.
Sonic: Down here Lilac!
Lilac nods, then jumps in the hole. Few minutes later, they hopped out from underground outside. Lilac's clothes is a little dirty from Sonic kicking the dirt back to her, but ignores it.
Sonic: Free at last.
Lilac wipes the dirt off her forehead.
Lilac: Yeah...
Out of nowhere, a bunch of trucks and helicopters rides past them. The helicopter is still trying to shoot all the vehicles down. It finally shoots one and causes it to explode. One more truck is still moving. The Egg Pawn and Zao is still in it.
Zao: Most of the robots are gone!
He cries out.
Lilac: Mayor Zao!
Zao looks down at Lilac who is running beside the truck with Sonic. Sonic notices that an egg pawn is driving the truck.
Sonic: What the? Eggman's robot?
Zao looks at Sonic.
Zao: What are you?! A porcupine?!
Sonic growls.
Sonic: A hedge-
Lilac punches Sonic in the arm getting his attention.
Lilac: Look!
Lilac points at Zao's orb that has a Chaos Emerald in it. Sonic's eyes widens with a surprise.
Sonic: It's a Chaos Emerald! Hey! We need that Chaos Emerald!
Zao's gaze hardens.
Zao: No! I need it! Especially if I want to have all seven of them!
Sonic growls until he he sees that he helicopter that is chasing them gets shot down.
Sonic: Damn it!
Sonic slows down, then speeds over to the twirling helicopter that's about to crash. The pilot jumps down screaming as gravity is pulling him. Sonic's mouth widens, then his gaze hardens. He increases his speed. A helicopter that is a lot bigger has a magnet hanging from the bottom. The magnet pulls the truck that Zao is in off the ground. Lilac grabs the edge of the truck.
Zao: Get off you thing!
He yells at Lilac. Sonic on the ground has caught the pilot before his body made contact on the ground. Sonic puts him down and pats his head.
Sonic: My friend pilots better than you.
Sonic said, then looks at the truck that the helicopter is taking. The helicopter is already high in the air. He squints his eyes and notices that Lilac is hanging on the truck.
Sonic: Uh Oh!
He speeds off. While Lilac is hanging on for dear life, the egg pawn is stomping on her hands hard, trying to make her let go. Knowing Lilac, she's not giving up on that. Before the robot tried to stomp on her hand one more time, Lilac grabs its leg and throws it off. She climbs up on the truck, making Zao scream.
Zao: You're not taking my Chaos Emerald!
He pulls the staff close to his chest. Lilac's gaze hardens trying to take the staff.
Lilac: Mayor Zao! We need it!
They're both pulling on the staff. The egg pawn who was driving the truck gets up and punches Lilac hard in the face, causing her to stagger a bit and let go of the staff. She starts losing balance as she steps off the edge. Sonic is watching everything on the ground as he's chasing the helicopter.
Sonic: LILAC!
She soon gets kicked off by the robot. She starts falling down, high into the sky. Sonic's eyes widens as he increases his speed. Lilac's body is flipping all over the place. All the wind that's blowing all in her face is making it hard for her to breathe. She soon passes out from breathing too much air that's going in her nose. She's very close from touching the ground, but luckily, Sonic slides and catches her bridal style. Sonic lies her on the ground and looks at her.
Sonic: Lilac...
He notices that she's not breathing. He puts his ear up against her chest, then starts pressing down on her chest a couple of times.
Sonic: Lilac! Wake up!
He presses his ears on her chest again, noticing that she's still not breathing. Sonic sighs.
Sonic: Whelp... Didn't think I had to do this...
Sonic says to himself, whilst looking at her. He quickly leans in and gives her mouth to mouth. He stops, then continues to press down on her chest a couple of times again. He leans in one last time and gives her mouth to mouth. She soon starts coughing in his mouth. Sonic pulls back as a trail of saliva follows. Sonic levers her up and pats her back as she continues to cough.
Lilac: W- what-
She continues to cough, trying to catch her breath.
Sonic: Thank Mobius.
Sonic sighs in relief. Few seconds later of coughing, she finally catches her breath. She looks at him.
Lilac: T- thanks...
She clears her throat a little, then notices a trail of saliva is going down her shirt, then to where Sonic is at. Sonic wipes it off his muzzle, then helps her up.
Sonic: I'm not the one to get scared like that, but... Don't ever do that again.
Sonic tells her. Lilac was in deep thought, then comes back.
Lilac: Uh y- yeah... sorry.
Sonic crosses his arms, smirking.
Sonic: Don't worry, I would probably do the same.
Lilac chuckles, punching his arm again.
Lilac: Knowing you, you probably would.
Sonic rubs his nose, snickering. His ears starts twitching a little.
"Sonic! Lilac!"
They both hear their names called out. They look into the direction of where they hear their names.
See you next chapter!
