Chapter 3! I've been so bored recently. There's nothing on the telly and no ones on msn! It's boring me! I needed to do another chapter before I forgot. If you do read this then thanks and keep reading!

Disclaimer thing: I don't own the Sonic the hedgehog characters! If I did why would I be here!

Chapter 3: Capture

Knuckles and Rouge

Knuckles and Rouge, as ordered, were running with Shadow. As the base came closer Rouge felt scared.

"Didn't Eggman say that if we ever intruded we'll be in for a hell of a life time? I'm still a young woman-"

"When did you ever listen to his threats? Every time he gets close to killing us he doesn't do anything! And since when were you a young woman?"

"Care to rephrase?!"

"Stop!" Shadow stopped at the entrance. "You two have got to stop arguing. I'm going to the security room, you two head to the right then make a left. Got it?" They nodded. "Good! While you're gone do stop arguing! They'll be able to hear you and then you'll never get this mission accomplished!"

After they went their ways there was a long silence. "I can't believe Tails put us together I mean really!" Rouge stopped and put her hands on her hips. "When is he going to learn?"

"Keep running batgirl!"

"I mean it makes no sense!" She panted whilst running. "After all the arguing we go through it doesn't get to his brain!"

"Sonic was right!"

Rouge gave him a stare. "About what?"

"Girls do keep going on and on! Don't you girls stop for breath?!"

"He got that based on Amy! Besides, he dead! If he wasn't then god knows what'll be happening now!" Knuckles nodded. It was the first time in his life he talked to Rouge without the thought of strangling her.

"I guess. What are we here for by the way?"

"Flirt with the nice looking security guard over there!" Rouge started eyeing up a security guard at the end of the hall. Knuckles grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a corner.

"Knuckles-"

"Shut up! Quit eyeing him up. I'm not flirting with him!"

"Who said you were?"

"Will you shut up? What are we really here for?"

With a sigh Rouge explained what's happening. They turned around and got into action.

"Ready Knucklehead?"

"Whenever you are, Batgirl!"

Amy and Cream

"It's so dark!" Cream took Amy's hand as they walked into the base.

'You're doing this for Sonic. You're doing this for Sonic…' Amy kept telling herself as they walked through the double door to face a 3 way passage.

"Which way?" Cream asked Amy, who was still in thought. "Amy?"

"Sorry. Try getting Tails."

Cream held the walkie talkie to her ear and spoke. "Tails? Tails!"

"You're meant to say over!"

"Are you trying to be funny?!" Amy, with an annoyed tone, yelled down the walkie talkie.

"Which way?" Cream asked, trying to calm Amy down even though it was a weakness of hers.

"Right! Hopefully you won't run into any guards! You may hear arguing though!"

"Why did you pair those two together? You know that was the worst thing to do in this situation?"

"It felt like a good idea at the time!"

"Were you thinking of death at the time?" Tails sighed.

"Just get going. Over!"

"Over and out!" Cream smiled. Amy gave her a dazed look.

"What?"

"Nothing." Amy smiled as they walked down the dusty corridor.

Shadow

'I hope Tails knows what he's doing!" Shadow looked at the keyboard in front of him. 'I hope I know what I'm doing!' Shadow breathed a heavy sigh and pressed the on button.

"Stupid!" Shadow bung his fist on the table. "Passwords!" All he was thinking of was what Tails would say if he didn't do this. 'Well, Sonic would've been able to do it!' Shadow shook his head and typed in Maria.

"I'm good!"

"Shadow! How's it going?"

"All good just logged in the system!"

"Great! The girls are ok. Not about the whole Knuckles and Rouge idea" Shadow chuckled.

"Well you were helping a murder! You can get into prison for that!"

"Yeah, Yeah! Just hurry up!" Shadow put the walkie talkie down and tried to find the security code for sector 0.

"This is going to be a long day!"

Knuckles and Rouge

"Shut up and help me beat this guy up!" Knuckles kicked him in the face.

"Knuckles, he's already dead, no need to worry! You've been at that guy for five minutes. Rouge opened the main door and saw a bunch of red lights streaming around the place.

"Shadow!" Rouge yelled down the walkie talkie. "Shadow, hurry up and get this place unsecured!"

"I would if I could. Just one problem!"

"What's that?"

"I need a card. Some sort of security card!"

"Don't you have one? You've been working with him long enough!"

"I left it at the tornado."

"YOU ID-"

"Don't blame me! It was annoying me having to wear that around my neck all the time I got a red mark on me!"

"Watching how you look Shadow?" Rouge asked cheekily. "Your fur hides it anyway!"

"I know but I could feel it!"

"Quit the chit chat Shadow! Get the place done so me and Rouge can get rid of these guards!" They watched as the red lights disappeared.

"Uh Shadow…what happened to 'I need a card!'"

"What are you on about?"

"The red lights are gone thanks Shad!"

"I didn't do it!" Rouge gave a look to Knuckles.

"What do you mean?!"

"I still need the card! Oh dear! Got to go!" They could hear a loud beep on the other line.

"What was that about?"

"Who cares lets get on with this!"

Amy and Cream

The two girls walked slowly towards the doors that lead down yet another corridor.

"I spy with my little eye something beginning with…B!" Amy thought for a second.

"How about…BORING!"

"Amy come on! I can't think of another way to pass the time." Amy sighed.

"Sorry Cream. It's just…I can't stop thinking-"

"About Sonic."

"Well yeah!" Amy shook her head. "If this fails then we'll never finish Eggman off and that's all Sonic wanted!"

"We won't fail. We've never failed before."

"But we had him with us! After the announcement of his death we all knew, and even you did Cream, there's no way we're going to finish him off!"

"Give us a chance Amy!" Amy looked in another direction as a blur past them and almost knocked Cream over.

"What was that?!" Amy had a puzzled look on her face. She shrugged it off and walked to the main door. She pushed it open to see Knuckles and Rouge kicking this guard towards the wall.

"Hey girls!" Rouge waved at them. "So glad you're finally here. Let's grab the emerald and get going!" Rouge grabbed it but then a loud siren went off and a bunch of guards ran in and made a grab for them. One was carrying Shadow.

"Sorry guys!" Rouge gave him an angry stare as Eggman walked in carrying Tails.

"LET HIM GO!" Amy yelled at him and tried to get out her hammer but this robot guard grabbed so tight she was loosing blood circulation in her arms.

"What was that Amy? Didn't quite hear over Tails' yelping! HAHAHAHA" Cream turned to see a tear running down Amy's cheek. Cream knew what she was thinking.

"We did fail."

Longest chapter so far. Hope you enjoyed!
