Sorry about the delay… Lots of things happened all at once and I needed some time to clear my head. But now Maverick Omochao is back with a vengeance!

Chapter 7: Star Light Chaos

Back at the campsite, Phantom finally closed his eyes to get some rest when the faint sound of carnival music traveled through the woods. The white chao sat up and yawned as everyone else awoke.

" Who's playing that music?" Blitz yawned while holding a kunai.

" It's coming from the right." Mauve answered.

" I'll check it out…" Phantom said as he unsheathed the Dragon Fang.

" I'm coming with you. It could be a trap." Blitz informed his friend.

" Be careful, Blitz." Sienna whispered. The blue chao nodded and followed Phantom into the trees. Eventually, they reached a clearing where a gate stood. The sign was emblazoned with Dr. Robotnick's emblem.

" So, he's taken the Star Light Zone too…" Blitz said to himself.

" What's the Star Light Zone?" Phantom asked.

" It was once an amusement park until Dr. Robotnick took it over. It now is a robot processing plant. If we could shut it down, we could seriously cripple the doctor's army." Blitz explained.

" Well then, Let's get started…" Phantom started to say when a sweet smell filled the air. One whiff and Phantom's eye started to twitch.

" Are you okay?" Blitz asked.

" Smell… Cherries! Must eat cherries!" the white chao screamed as he took off to find the fruit. It was then that Blade, Mauve, Sienna, and Frost walked into view.

" I heard Phantom yelling. Is he okay?" Frost asked concernedly.

" He ran this way. Let's go…" Blitz sighed as he and the rest ran off. Unknown to the tiny heroes, a security camera picked up their movements.

" Ha ha ha! I have you now! No one can resist fruit pie! NO ONE!" Dr. Robotnick cackled as he pressed a button. In their cages, Burst began to gnaw on the bars while Mecha used her laptop to hack into the security cameras and watch her friend.

'Phantom! Be careful!' Cursive wrote.

" Save your paper. He can't read you or hear us." Spectra said. Mecha said nothing as she pulled out a small disk and attached a headset to it.

" It's time to test out my latest invention! Booting up D.F.O.!" the scientist said to herself as she punched in Phantom's coordinates into the disk. It then rose into the air and flew off.

Back at the park, Phantom sat in a cage while munching on a slice of fruit pie.

" Mmm! Sweet cherry pie, once again you have saved my life." The white chao said in joy.

" Get a room!" Blitz yelled at him.

" Phantom! Use your sword to get out!" Frost instructed.

" Can't move. Busy eating." Phantom replied and went back to stuffing his face. Suddenly, the chao heard the buzzing of millions of bees. When they looked up, the chao were surrounded by millions of Buzzbombers.
