Hey guys. Alright, so about me not updating for a few...weeks? Well, as most of you have probably started school already, so you know how busy it is! Especially if your in 10th grade! Don't know why I'm complaining though, all of the juniors and seniors probably have double the work I have. Anyways, to make it fair for everyone, I am going to try to update either every Friday or Saturday. That way, I could go on with the story, and you guys will not have to wait months at a time for just one chapter! Anyways, here's chapter 7!

"Beep, beep beep beep..."

"Ugh, Why is my alarm on, it's Saturday!" Nick yelled, being waken up by an annoying beep. He sat up in his bed, and looked at the time. 8:30. About to go back to sleep, he looked over at his bed side table, and saw his watch, blinking a red light. He picked it up, and pressed a button. Matt, as Sonic, appeared on the screen. "Matt? What is it?"

"Finally! I have been trying to get hold of you all night!" Matt yelled to him.

"What is so important that you were trying to reach me all night?" Nick asked.

"The fact that the government captured me, and I am being held captive in a cell on some island!" Matt screamed at him.

"What!" Nick answered, shocked. "When did this happen?"

"Last night, I was about to thrash Shadow, or, whoever he is, and the government got me. He used some sort of strange power to get away. I think it was the power of the Chaos Emerald..." Matt went on.

"Interesting..." Nick started. "All right, hang tight for a little while. I'm going to go to the base, and am gonna track you using the watch."

"Alright, hurry!" Matt signed off. He lay in his cell, dirty and cold. It was the worse night sleep he had ever gotten. He woke up many times. One time from a cold draft, another time from a a bug crawling up his leg, and about 5 more times, just from the hard, cold ground. He stood up, and walked over to the wall. There were some strange writings on it. "What do these mean?" He asked himself, squinting his eyes, trying to see them a little better.

"Well, well, did we have a good sleep hedgehog? " Matt turned around, to see one of the soldiers standing there.

"Grrrr. Let me out of this cell!" Matt screamed as loud as he could, grabbing onto the bars.

"Don't strain yourself. There is no way that you could bake those bars." He said smirking. Matt backed off, but gave him a look that screamed death. "Just don't get to comfy, in about 2 hours were taking you to Area 51."

"Area 51!" Matt started. "But, I'm not an alien!"

"But your a mutant, and that's close enough," the soldier laughed. Matt felt his fists clenching, as rage over flowed through his body. "See you soon!" He yelled as he walked out of the prison area.

"Hurry up Tails!" Matt said to himself, as he slid down onto the floor.

--------------------------------------------

"Alright, I'm glad to see you are all here on time..." Eggman started to say, Julie, Eric, and Greg ll sat around the table they had been at a few days before.

"What exactly did you call us here for Doctor?" Eric asked, putting his legs on the table top. Eggman growled at the sight of it.

"Today is the day that we travel to the ARK," he started. "Have any of you collected any more Chaos Emeralds?" Eric and Greg each pulled one out, along with Julie who had already showed hers to Eggman. "Excellent!"

"Now, about the ARK...how exactly are we going to get there?" Eric asked.

"With this of course," Eggman smiled and stepped aside. Behind him was a machine.

"What is it?" Greg asked.

"It's a transporter. We step into it, and we will arrive at the ARK." He told them.

"Is it safe?" Julie asked nervously.

"Of course it is," Eggman smiled. "I already tested it out. Now, here is the plan. Omega," He started.

"What?" Greg asked him.

"You need to go up to the ARK, and get everything ready. You need to find the Eclipse Cannon and turn it on. Don't fire it, but it should get started up, after all, it has been shut down for some time."

"Roger," Greg answered back.

"Now, you two," He said pointing to Eric and Julie. "There is an island not to far from here. We need to travel to it. There have 3 Chaos Emeralds there that we need. So here is the plan. Rouge, you need to sneak into the base, and find them. That won't be a problem will it?"

"I'm a pro at treasure hunting, don't worry bout it Doc," She said.

"And Shadow, you need to plant a bomb on the island. And set it for exactly 7 minutes. That way, they will not be able to chase us down when we are making our getaway,"

"Fine, but what will you be doing during this whole time?" Eric asked, raising his eyebrow.

"I am going to be distracting the guards, this way, you guys could sneak in without being seen. Now do we all know the plan?" Eggman asked them.

"Yes Sir," they responded in sync.

"Good, then lets get to work!"

Well theres chapter 7. Not very long, but it's alright for now. I'm really sorry for the long wait, and like I said, I'm going to try to get a new chapter up every Friday. And if not Friday, then Saturday. So go and REVIEW!
