"5 Years Without You…"

By MJ the Seal
Chapter 12

Good and Evil Identities Revealed!

"I hate selling tickets…" Inferno mumbled as he sat at the ticket stand bored out of his mind. "It's not fair, Maya got the best job, and at least Shadow got to hang out with a hyperactive monkey! IT'S NOT FFFAAIIIRRR!" everyone turned around and looked at Inferno who blushed and turned around, still mumbling to him-self.

"What the heck?" Inferno wondered as he pulled out a dinging PMS. He opened the message which read,

"Go to the front of the Big Bucks Hotel and talk to the girl wearing the red cloak, she will show you the next enemy and location of the Emerald of Peace." Inferno re-read the message to make sure his boredom wasn't making him go delusional.

"Inferno!" Inferno spun around to see Maya running towards him still wearing her food stand uniform. "Inferno did you get the message too!" Maya quickly asked as she began to catch her breath.

"Yeah, do you think we should listen to it and go to this hotel place?"

"It could be a trap…and plus no one else knows what our PMS address' are." A green light began to flash behind Maya and Inferno and the duo turned around. Out of the light Shadow and Tangy popped out, Shadow holding the Emerald of Hope, and Tangy clutching onto Shadow.

"Hey Mr. you're supposed to be helping me and doing your job not warping across the fabric of space and time to talk to your friends!" Tangy stated as she let go of Shadow.

"Did you two get the message?" Shadow asked emotionlessly as he continued to ignore Tangy's constant rambling. Maya and Inferno solemnly nodded and Shadow closed his eyes in thought. "We should go check this out,even if it is a trap…I'm pretty sure we can handle someone who wears a cloak."

"Shadow! We can't just run into a trap before we do some planning! SHADOW GET BACK HERE!" Maya shouted as Shadow began to walk away. "Ugh, don't you just want him to listen to you for once Inferno…Inferno?" Maya turned around and noticed that Inferno had ditched her as well. "Why did I agree to come with them? Why…why…" Maya mumbled as she ran after them. Tangy was left alone and she pulled out a walkie talkie.

"Agent Secret, this is Agent Sugar Cane, they're headed your way…"

Shadow, Inferno, and Maya arrived at the hotel with questions still left unanswered. Who is the cloaked figure, who are the enemies that protect the Emerald of Peace, and why the heck did they have to meet at a hotel?

"So, where's this cloaked figure person…?" Inferno asked as they continued to look around outside the fancy 5-star hotel. It was white with green ivy vines along the bottom of the wall. It had lovely gardens full of roses, pansies, and tulips, and its sign also flashed in yellow neon lights.

"So…you are the three that wish to get the Emerald of Peace correct?" Shadow, Maya, and Inferno turned to their left to see a red cloaked figure. The figure's eyes were visible under the cloak, but one of them was covered by something, it was too dark to see exactly what though.

"I'm sorry for making you wait, but now we must move quickly." The figure jumped over to the left revealing some sort of chute leading into the hotel. "Enter here quickly we don't have much time!" None of them rose an argument, except Maya whos face clearly showed she wasn't in the mood to go into a dirty old chute anytime soon. The four clambered into the chute and began to crawl through the air conditioning system with the red cloaked figure showing them the way.

"Where are we going?" a curious Inferno asked as he continued to crawl behind the three in front of him.

"All will be explained shortly…actually," the cloaked figure crawled about another yard and stopped. "All will be explained now, look through here…" the trio peered through an air vent into a rich looking room. Shadow's eye's opened wide to the site, for in the room was the same dark figure that was talking to the ring master yesterday.

"Okay guys we're back in the hotel room!" the dark figure said and two heads popped out from the overcoat. One appeared to be a robotic head the resembled Knuckles, and the second appeared to be a poorly made puppet version of Tails' head with a red jewel in its forehead. The Knuckles Robot and Plushie Tails got out of the overcoat which fell to the floor revealing a robot version of Sonic.

"Took you long enough Metal Sonic, I felt like I was going to die of heat stroke!" the Tails Puppet complained as he reached into the fridge to grab a coke.

"It's not my fault blame Metal Knuckles! He's the one who was carrying us on his back!" Metal Sonic complained back and Metal Knuckles just glared at him.

"HEY HOW ABOUT YOU BE THE LEGS NEXT TIME!" Metal Knuckles screamed and Metal Sonic began to argue with him.

"JUST SHUT UP!" Puppet Tails screamed and the two looked over at him. "It's not like we wanted to do this, the doc forced us to just so he could protect some stupid Emeralds."

"Yeah, so this trio wouldn't go and stop him from taking over the world yadda yadda yadda." Metal Sonic said casually and he lazily pointed to a picture of Shadow, Inferno, and Maya.

"And don't forget that one guy wants to save his girlfriend." Metal Knuckles snickered while grabbing the remote.

"You mean that white seal chic he captured five years ago on the train?" Puppet Tails asked and Metal Knuckles nodded. "The one with the powers to shut you both up?" Metal Knuckles and Metal Sonic were about to nod again when the stopped halfway.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY!" they both shouted in unison as Puppet Tails began to laugh up a storm.

"I got you guys that time!" Metal Knuckles and Metal Sonic lunged at the puppet who easily dodged them. "Hey it was just a joke guys,chill your skittles."

"Ignoring what just happened, does anyone know where the Emerald of Peace went?" Metal Knuckles said and Puppet Tails shrugged.

"Yeah, yeah I've got it right here." Metal Sonic mumbled as he tossed the Emerald in the air. It was a silver colored emerald that twinkled like a star in the room. Metal Sonic threw it up and Metal Knuckles just glared at him.

"Metal Sonic you'esupposed to be protecting that thing not tossing it up and down!" he complained but Metal Sonic continued tossing it in the air.

"Hey I'm the leader, I know what I'm doing." Metal Sonic stopped tossing the Emerald up and down and quickly looked up at the air vent. "You guys can come out now we know you've been in the room since we got here." No one answered him back and Metal Sonic got a slightly annoyed look on his face. "I guess I'll just have to come get you…" he turned on his rocket shoes and blasted through the air vent and turned to face the four stowaways. "Well if it isn't the brave heroes, and Agent Secret." he flew over to the cloaked figure and ripped the cloak off. "or should I say, Amber." Maya and Inferno began to stare in shock at the now discovered Amber who just adjusted her glasses.

"Amber, you were one of the spies for Chibi Star?" Inferno exclaimed and Amber nodded still facing Metal Sonic. Shadow wasn't surprised in the least he had a pretty good idea that Amber was a spy right from the start.

"Wow, I didn't even have the slightest idea that you of all people-"

"SILENCE!" Metal Sonic barked and the quickly turned their attention back to him. "If you want this Emerald of Peace, you're going to have to beat me and my team in a battle." Metal Sonic flew back down the opening in the air vent leading to his and his teammates' room. "That is, if you can catch us first!" the robot Team dashed out of the building leaving the quartet stuck in the air shaft. Shadow immediately reached for the Emerald of Hope in his quills.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" he shouted and teleported them outside the hotel.

"There they are!" Maya exclaimed as she quickly pointed to the robot team fleeing towards the center of town. They all began to chase after them with Inferno flying, and Shadow, Maya, and Amber running. They were getting closer to the Circus tent which was now just starting their next show.

"Hey boss they're catching up on us pretty quickly! What should we do!" Puppet Tails questioned as he continued to fly through the air above Metal Sonic and Knuckles.

"We're going to give them what they want." Metal Sonic said and Puppet Tails and Metal Knuckles gave him an odd, puzzled look. "We're going to give them a battle to the death for the Emerald of Peace in that Circus tent."

"Hehehe, that'll have everyone realize when they lose that we are the strongest robots in the entire universe, and NO ONE CAN STOP US!" the robot trio howled with laughter and fled into the tent, the quartet following right behind them.

"Thank you one and all for coming to see us tonight!" The Ring Master shouted "Tonight we-"the Ring Master was cut short, for Metal Knuckles had swung his robotic arm at him and knocked him out cold. Metal Sonic ran over and grabbed the microphone.

"Tonight we will have a battle, against Shadow, Inferno, and Maya for the Emerald of Peace!" The light moved over to Shadow, Inferno, Maya, and Amber as they stood at the tent entrance awaiting the battle that was coming.
