I'm just skipping most of the zones in the first Sonic because I'm starting to run out of ideas. Enjoy the latest chapter anyway!

Chapter 6: Tales at the Campfire

Night fell on the forest quickly. The gang of heroes set up camp in a clearing and was sitting around the campfire. Phantom polished the Dragon Fang while Frost gazed at Mauve and Sienna.

" So, what are you doing next week you hunk?" the healer asked Mauve.

" Um, I'm a girl!" Mauve shouted at the top of her lungs. Frost just sat there with wide eyes and her mouth hanging open in shock.

" Hey kid, I believe this belongs to you." Blitz said as he tossed Phantom the Muramasa.

" I thought you wanted it for yourself." Phantom replied as he sheathed it.

" He didn't want it. It was Ashnard who demanded the three sacred swords." Sienna stated.

" That's right! He wanted to rule the world with the blades." Mauve exclaimed.

" Ashnard gathered the best bandits ever and formed the Brotherhood. Some joined him willingly while others were blackmailed into joining." Blade explained solemnly.

" Ashnard threatened to off Blade's son if he didn't go along with it." Blitz confirmed.

" Fearing for his safety, I broke off all ties and left. I would give anything to see him again even for just a moment." Blade continued.

" Where does he live?" Phantom asked.

" In the Hero Garden." The gray chao answered.

" Yeah? I have a sister there and a sister in the Dark Garden!" Phantom declared proudly.

" Who are they? I might know them." Sienna questioned.

" Sugar and Spice."

" Whoa! Your sisters are the future rulers of the gardens? Awesome! We're in the company of royalty here!" Blitz joked. After chatting for a while, the chao began to settle in for some well-deserved shut-eye. In a few hours, everyone except Phantom was fast asleep. The white chao sat staring at the stars still gripping the Dragon Fang.

" I wonder how my sisters are holding out?" he wondered to himself. In the base, Spice delivered punches and kicks to her cell.

" M'lady… You can't break those bars. You would need the Muramasa in order to escape." Spectra explained. Spice rose, clearly out of breath from her futile assault. Her sister looked through the bars at Dr. Robotnick who was stomping around furiously.

" Darn it! The Green Hill unit has been destroyed! The culprits are on their way to my Star Light territory! Calling all available units! Destroy them all!" The obese doctor roared. Sugar then saw a familiar face on the screen.

" Lady Sugar, what do we do now?" a gray chao boy asked.

" Trez, we can't escape the cage. Our only hope is my brother, Phantom." Sugar replied.

Sorry about the lack of updates! Review and I'll try to get the next chapter up ASAP!
