Chapter 5: Amy's Rage over Sonic's Absence

*Over at Tails' workshop in the Mystic Ruins*

Tails was using a syringe to get a blood sample from Mario and put it into his computer.

Tails- Now, once I analyze your DNA from this blood sample I just took, I might be able to find where you're from.

Knuckles- Why are you trying to find where this guy is from? Where suppose to find where Sonic is.

Tails- Knuckles, Mario and Sonic switched places. If we find where this Mushroom Kingdom is, we can bring Mario home and find Sonic.

Knuckles- Oh…yeah…uh…I knew that!

Mario- I hope it doesn't take too long. I'll bet my friends are worried sick about me.

Tails- I'm sure Sonic is taking good care of them.

Mario- Well, I also hope we find it before I use up the last of my fire flowers. I only have five left and I know they don't grow here in Mobius. Which means I have to use them wisely.

Suddenly, the door was slammed open and even made a crack in the wall when it opened. Then Mario, Tails, and Knuckles saw a pink hedgehog with short pink hair and a short red dress. She did not look happy. She walked up to Mario, grabbed him by the neck with both hands, and began strangling him.

Amy- Alright, you better tell me what happened to Sonic before I knock you into next week!

Fortunately, Knuckles was able to pull her off of Mario, before she suffocated him. Knuckles was holding onto her, but she was wiggling in Knuckles' grip.

Mario- Yikes! First Knuckles tries to kill me and now this girl. I seem to keep having bad luck in this world.

Knuckles- Amy, will you please calm down.

Amy- No! I want my Sonic back, now! This guy did something to Sonic!

Tails- Amy, this is Mario and he's actually just as much of a victim of this situation as Sonic is. He and Sonic somehow switched places. In other words, Sonic is where Mario is from. And we are hard at work to sending him home and finding Sonic.

Amy- Fine, but if you've done something to Sonic, I'll pound you into pudding! Got that!

Knuckles let go and her and she stormed out of Tails' workshop.

Mario- Who was that?!

Tails- Her name is Amy Rose. She has a bit of a crush on Sonic and she is sometimes a little too extreme in her affections.

Knuckles- Extreme? That's actually an understatement! Try stalker levels.

Mario- Anyone else I should know about?

Tails- There is Shadow the Hedgehog. He is an ally, but he's sort of more of a loner. But you should really watch out for Dr. Eggman. He's Sonic's archenemy basically. He's a mad scientist bent on taking over the world. In fact, he was the maker of those robots you fried recently back in Station Square. He usually tries to demolish Station Square and build his ultimate robotic city, Eggman Land. And other times, he's trying to steal the Chaos Emeralds. But Sonic always beats him and saves the day.

Mario- Sounds similar to Bowser back in the Mushroom Kingdom. What are the Chaos Emeralds?

Tails- They are these mystical gems that hold practically unlimited power. There are seven in total. And with all seven, it creates a power that's almost godlike. Sonic is one of the few lifeforms that can properly harness the power into his body without suffering any side effects. However, the Sonic was the last person to be holding onto all the Chaos Emeralds. So if Sonic still has them, then the Chaos Emeralds are in the Mushroom Kingdom with Sonic.

Knuckles- WHAT?! The Chaos Emeralds are gone with Sonic?!

Tails- Oh yeah, that is troubling news. Let's just hope Eggman is the worst thing we'll have to deal with until my computer analyzes Mario's DNA and give us an idea where to find Sonic. Not sure how long that will take, but my wrist computer should notify me when the results are in.

Mario- These Chaos Emeralds are really that important?

Tails- We've been known to, on rare occasions, encounter enemies of great power, like in a deity's league. When that happens, we use the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Without them, we might be in trouble if something like that does happen again. But enough negative thinking. Since you're stuck here for a while, how about a tour of area?

Mario- Sounds fine to me. Maybe we can find some place to eat. I'm feeling hungry. Any good pasta places around Station Square?
