Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, now onto the reviews!
Ladyamalphia: I do have to say sorry about that, I put the something to split it, but it didn't stay, so I went back and corrected that, and I do respond on a review reply that comes with the letter it's just the guy who got me started, (Nightfire04,) used to do that, and I found that really cool.
Northern-megas: Sorry last chapter was most likely the only 'totally chaos,' type thing, though what is that game rated? If it's an ok rating I might check it out.
Count X. Gamlxltoe Nightmare: Thanks, though I can't pick what I like more, cake or pie.
HyperShanic01: Hehe, if you liked that one I think you would like the one in Ghost Rider better then the other, the chapters name is My Crazy Morning, I think he wrote it better.
Shimohi Inferno Tiger: So funny… Oh and thanks for pointing that out, I might have been hit on about that, I thank you so much that I put you in credits.
theredone1223: Thanks for the review, and thanks for wishing me a happy birthday, I had a good one.
Faermage-KH Junkie: Good guess, now you will just have to wait and see.
First thing first, thank you ladyamalphia for beta reading the chapter.
Thank you Shimohi Inferno Tiger for telling me what I missed, I went back and corrected my mistakes.
Chapter 10: A new player.
The rain fell onto the runway as a small plane touched down. A group of ten cars drove around it as it opened up to many men in black armor. Present on the armor were the letters "G.U.N."
Then, a man from the plane walked out. He was a bit chubby, and sporting a bushy brown mustache, he wore a white T-shirt, and blue jeans.
A G.U.N soldier walked up to him then saluted.
"Doctor Robotnik," said the soldier, "as soon as we got the word we started tracking down this 'Sonic the Hedgehog'… but just two hours ago, we got a message."
He paused uncertainly, then closed his eyes. "I think it would be easier just for you to hear it yourself."
Doctor Robotnik nodded and they walked to a bunker marked with giant letters, G.U.N. Inside, there were many computer, a couple people assigned to each. The soldier led Robotnik over to a computer much larger than the others, at least ten screens, with a group five people working them.
"Play it."
The G.U.N soldier commanded, motioned for one of the men working to play the message. A short man sitting near them nodded, then clicked the play button on the computer before him. The message was gargled to the point that you couldn't tell if it was a man or a women… but it clearly said:
"I heard you wanted Sonic the Hedgehog. I can get you him - for the right amount of pay, of course. If you agree, please come to this location.' Suddenly a map popped up, a light beeping at what Robotnik knew to be an old fishing harbor.
"We were waiting for you to come before we took any action." explained the soldier. "After all, these are your orders."
He sat himself down in an empty chair waiting for Doctor Robotnik to decide.
"Whatever it takes," he said in a slow, gruff voice, "we need that Hedgehog."
He got to his feet, "We leave as soon as possible."
He moved to the door, followed by five guards. The G.U.N soldier smiled and followed Doctor Robotnik out.
21 days till present day…
Dart, Miles, and I stood, bodies tense, hoping this invention would work, I had my doubts after all it was made out of an old gaming system, a radio, and a radar.
"Ok." Miles said, looking over our work. "Now put the emerald onto the slot."
I slipped the blue emerald out of the bag and into the radar. Miles pressed down a button… nothing happened.
"No way!" Miles yelled in frustration. "I thought we worked out this problem!"
I rubbed my head, Dart slammed his hand onto the table, and Miles cursed at the invention.
"Now where back to step one." Miles sighed, taking his seat again.
After a minute of silence Dart laughed. I looked at him in surprise and a bit angry that he was laughing.
"Dude why are you laughing, this isn't very funny!" I yelled wishing I was home.
"No wonder it didn't work;" he beamed, "we forgot to plug it in."
He followed the machine's long, black cord, and plugged it into the wall. And just like that, the machine came to life, the screens lit up, the radar started moving, and the emerald began pumping blue energy into it.
"Yes!" Miles yelled in joy.
"It's finally done!" Dart cried.
But then, his face fell to a confusion, "But, what did we make anyways?"
He had a point. Neither of us knew what we'd built; all we'd done was told Miles about the emeralds, and that Dart and I needed to find them…. and then a day later, he comes running up to us yelling something about, 'I know a way to make all your problems go away!' Then he made us help him for awhile… what if he's trying to build a bomb again!
"This," Miles explained, "will take the power levels of that emerald and track everything that's on the same level."
He looked at us intently, but met only blank stares. He rolled his eyes.
"So, by doing this," he typed in something then pulled a lever. A screen was pulled up, and seven blinking lights appeared on a map of the world - two blinked safe with us, and the rest scattered around the world. "we can find the other emeralds."
"Oh, man," I said to myself as I scanned the map to see where they were located. Two where in the United States - one in Kentucky, and the other in Texas, one in the Rain Forest that was located in Central America , and one which looked to be in a Japanese city I vaguely recognized as Shibuya.
"Wow…" I said, awestruck. "Man, Miles, this has to be the coolest thing you've ever made."
He grinned proudly as I patted his back.
"I know." he said with a smile, turning to Dart. "Hey, Dart, you said you found an emerald a while ago?"
"Yes, I did."
He reached into his bag and pulled out his bright green emerald. When it was placed next to the blue one, it started glowing brighter
"Now we only need five more." Said Miles, smiling.
"But one thing…" I began uncertainly. "Why are we looking for them again?"
Dart frowned.
"My people looked after those emeralds for thousands of years and I…." He paused, looking suddenly sober. "Lost them. So it's my duty to find them again. I've been searching for a year, and I've only found two."
"Ah, right." Miles said. "Plus they were the servants of that… big emerald, right?"
"Yes, and there are many others looking for them… some wanting to sell them for a high price, some looking for the power, others searching just for the heck of it." Dart explained, looking bitter.
"When I found you in the armor car, did someone take the emerald?" I asked, remembering what had taken place in that vehicle
"No, I was looking for the Chaos goop." Dart replied putting the emerald back into the bag.
"Ah, well let's get these emeralds before someone else get them-" though I was cut of when my phone started beeping.
"Oh - um, hold on."
I walked away and looked at the number… who could be calling me? I picked it up and said:
"Hello? May I ask who's calling?"
The voice that spoke out made me nervous.
"Hey Sonic, I'm surprised that you didn't call yesterday."
It was Lois.
"Um, yeah, I was really busy," I said, trying to squeeze out any words.
"Hey," she began, "I'm at that little bar across from the school… why don't you meet me there?"
Ah yes… a high school bar that was made fromthe father of the class president. Anyways, I didn't go there too much because it was where all the school jocks hung out.
"Um… sure. Why not, I'll be there in a bit." I said, giving in, and hoping that there wasn't some prank in store for me.
"Great, I'll see you soon," she replied.
"Yeah, see you there."
I hung up the phone, signed, then grabbed my backpack and walked back to the others, "Hey guys, I have to get going."
I took the emerald and slipped into my backpack.
"What is it, dinner time?" Miles asked he took out two root beers from a cooler box.
"Not really…" I said meekly. "It's kinda a date."
I slipping my hands into my pockets, and felt my face redden.
"A date? With a girl?!" Miles asked spitting out some of his soda.
"Yes, with a girl." I replied glaring at him.
Miles mouth hung low. "I never thought I'd live to see the day."
Dart broke out in laughter. "Are you saying you never been on a date?!"
"Well… um…" I stuttered, trying to think of something to say. Then I thought of a beautiful comeback.
"Hey, I'm a hero. I have to turn down a lot of dates."
"Yeah sure whatever," Miles laughed as he sat next to Dart on a couch and handed him a soda.
They were both laughing, and I couldn't think of a retort, so I just turned and walked away.
"So, you come here often?" I asked, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Oh, yeah, like everyday." she replied, then sipped her drink. "What about you?"
I looked around and saw a couple guys giving me a glare. I was a little afraid, but with Lois right there, all I could do was smile. "Not to often."
"Hey, did you read about what's going to happen at the high school prom?" she asked.
"No I haven't," I replied leaning back.
"I'll read it out," she said, picked a newspaper from her bag.
As she started reading, I picked up my milkshake sipped mildly, only half listening. I was half way through my drink when I glanced at the back of the new paper. My jaw dropped, and I almost dropped my shake. On the back of the paper was a photo of a bright red emerald.
"Oh my god…" I said to myself as I read the article:
Just yesterday, this bright red emerald was found in a small town in Kentucky and will be shipped here in New York. It will be displayed at a small party that will be hosted by Doctor Robotnik - head of G.U.N.'s lab - and the uncle of one of our own students; Maria Robotnik.
This was big news. I had to tell the others, but I needed to think of a good excuse to leave.
"Oh man, I have to get going!" I told her quickly. "I just remembered I had to do… something!"
I grabbed my backpack and ran for the exit, hearing her yelling something that sounded like, 'wait, Sonic!'
But I didn't have time to waste. I had to tell the others.
The doors to the old warehouse burst open as two G.U.N. soldiers ran in, pointing there guns forward. Then, two shots rang out. The soldiers pressed the trigger, firing back at their attackers.
Two more shots were fired. One missed, but the other one lodged itself into one of the soldiers' leg.
He screamed out in pain, cursing as five more enemies burst through doors and windows.
"Put down the gun, there's no need to shed anymore blood."
In walked Doctor Robotnik, with two high classed G.U.N soldiers at each shoulder.
"Then tell your men to put down their weapons." What looked like the leader of the attackers answered back.
Doctor Robotnik motioned for them to do so.
"Now," he began conversationally, "where is he?"
"I don't have him…" the person admitted. "But I do know were he will be."
"And where would he be?" The doctor asked, remaining very calm.
"Your party."
The person tossed over the high school news clipping concerning the party.
"How can you be so sure?" Robotnik asked, examining the clipping.
A person, previously unnoticed, and hidden in the shadows, spoke in a muffled voice,
"Trust me Doctor, I know."
Ok that's it, I know it was short, but I forgot what was going to happen in this chapter so finally after a week of thinking I remembered. Please review, idea and comments are wanted flames are not.
