Arid Sands: Rescue Mission
"Basically, Cream's a good friend of mine. She's kind, caring, and she does whatever she can to help. She's a great person." Sonic explained, as he slowed to a walk.
"Oh, so that's who she is." Chip said, his small body still sat on top of Sonic's head.
"Yep, and I got to find her. She must be scared..."
"And she must be hungry!" Chip asked, his wings started to flap and he hovered in front of Sonic. He slowly started to fly backwards.
Sonic rolled his eyes, "I'm sure she has food with her."
Chip laughed nervously, "Oh right!" He nervously scratched the back of his neck. "So Sonic, where do you thing she is?"
"Hm," Sonic looked around the deserted desert. The only things that were alive here were Robotnik's robots...and their not even alive. "Well, I think she's been taken here?"
"Here? Why here? It's so hot here! Couldn't they have taken her to somewhere colder?" Chip asked, he started to fan himself. Chip's tongue started to hand out of his mouth. The poor fellow started to pant.
Sonic shrugged his shoulders, "Come on, we're wasting time." And with that, Sonic grabbed Chip by his wings and started to run.
Chip yelped, "Hey! Watch the wings!"
A cream-colored rabbit was held captive in a terrifying room. All sorts of loud machines were near her. Cream and her friend, Cheese, was held captive in a cylinder, glass cage. The frightened rabbit huddled herself with Cheese, she was so scared.
"What are you going to do with us?" Her voice trembled as she asked the large man who was sitting in a large, leather chair. The man was none other than Dr. Eggman. Eggman smirked, deviously and didn't respond.
"Choa, choa!" Cheese exclaimed into Cream's chest.
"I know Cheese, I'm scared too."
"Sonic!" Chip exclaimed while holding onto Sonic's ears, tightly. "Slow down!" Sonic didn't listen to Chip's complaints. Instead, he sped up and soared through the air as he went on a ramp.
As Sonic landed on the ground, he skidded to a stop. The sudden stop made Chip fling off of Sonic's head and the poor, little guy landed on the sandy ground...face first.
"This is the place, I'm guessing." Sonic murmured to himself. The blue hedgehog walked up to an old, sandy ruin. Sonic slowly ran his hand across the old stone wall. Meanwhile, on the floor, Chip sat up and spat some sand that was in his mouth.
"Gross!" Chip shivered in disgust as he felt the sand in his mouth. He used his palm to wipe the sand off his tongue.
"Next time you stop like that, don't!" Chip complained as he kept palming his tongue. The blue hedgehog didn't listen to Chip, he slowly walked inside the temple.
Chip looked up and said, "Hey Sonic, wait up!" Chip spat out the rest of the remains that was on his tongue and flew after Sonic. Once they both entered, the door to the entrance (and exit) closed. Now, there was no way out. Inside was dark, Sonic could barely see his white gloves.
"It's a little dark here, try to keep close to me, okay Chip?" Sonic slowly took a baby step forward. Sonic didn't hear a reply from Chip.
"Chip? Did you hear me?" Sonic spun around and tried to look for Chip. He squinted his eyes, hoping maybe he could adjust to the dark a little.
"Chip?" Sonic called out again.
"Right here, Sonic!" Chip finally called out after those excruciating seconds, Sonic sighed in relief. Suddenly, Chip pressed his back against the narrow, stone wall. The part of the stone wall that Chip pressed against started to light up in a neon green color.
Sonic and Chip looked around, suspiciously, but then shrugged their shoulders.
"I think you just found our nightlight, Chip!" Sonic winked and started to walk without a problem.
Chip smiled proudly at himself, "Thanks, Sonic!" Chip stopped flying and landed on the ground. He walked right beside Sonic.
"So, where do you think she is?" Chip asked.
"She has to be somewhere in this temple, I just know it." Sonic answered.
Just then, Chip stepped on one of the ancient tiles. The tile slowly sunk beneath Chip's weight, and then it made a loud click noise.
Sonic glared at the small being beside him. "What the heck did you do?"
