Chapter 7

Sonic POV

We split into three groups. I was with Tails and Knuckles, Shadow was with Rouge and Marine, and Volki was with Silver and Blaze. Shadow held up his Chaos emerald.

"I'll go first" he declared. "Chaos Control!"

A green light surrounded him, Rouge and Marine, and they were gone. Volki looked at her Chaos emerald.

"Seems easy." she said. "Chaos Control!"

Silver, Blaze and Volki were covered in a light blue light, and disappeared.

"As usual, I am always last." I sighed. "Chaos Control!"

A blue blurred my vision and the scene changed, I was now on Eggman's ship. I looked around; Shadow must have taken care of most of the robots a security, cause there was no one attacking us. Now all I had to do was to figure out where on the ship are we. Thankfully, Tails already figured that out.

"We're on the bridge." he said.

I could see why he said that. There were control panels and different display screens. Tails walked towards the control panel. He started to press a ton of different coloured buttons and the screen showed overdrive. In a few minutes Tails had full control of the ship and was already setting the auto pilot to go back to Eggman's fortress. I went out to look for Shadow and Volki as Tails rewired the ships radio signals. I ran around in the hallways, until I heard someone say "I think I heard something." I ran towards the voice. In an instant, I was on the floor with Volki on top of me holding a gun to my head.

I raised my hands. "I come in peace. You can get off me."

She got off me. "You shouldn't run that fast. I thought you were one of those speed droids." She lowered her gun and loosened up.

"How many droids did you kill?" I asked.

"Almost all of them. Shadow went to see if there are any others left." Volki answered.

I nodded. "Okay, call everyone together. We'll have a meeting at the bridge."

After a while I was standing on a soap box, counting people to make sure everyone was here. Once I was done, I coughed loudly to get everyone's attention.

"Okay guys," I began. "Let's start off with a status report, and then we can plot out a strategy on how to bring Eggman down."

Everyone murmured in approval.

"Okay, since we're all in agreement, let's begin." I said. "Shadow, Volki, report."

Shadow opened his mouth to speak, but then quickly shut it seeing that Volki already started to give a report.

"We have destroyed all the droids and the ship is secure." Volki stated.

"Good." I said, "How are the controls Tails?"

"Everything is ready to go. I have also been able to talk to the base." he answered. "Oh, and Sonic?"

"Yah?"

"I have some bad news."

"What is it?"

"Amy's missing."

Shadow POV

"WHAT!?" Sonic yelled.

"They were attacked yesterday, and in the process they took Amy." Tails said sadly.

Sonic seemed to be in a state of shock. He just stood there, on that soap box, motionless. He seemed to be frozen in time. Unable to move, because the news hit him. The news hit everyone, though Volki and I were unfazed, but it hit Sonic hard. He loved Amy.

Sonic tried to get words out of his mouth, but they seemed to have no sound. He just stood mouthing words that cannot be heard by anyone. I sighed, and stepped forward.

I looked at the blue hedgehog. "Come down Sonic. I'll take it from here."

Sonic stepped off the soap box and stood in a corner, still mouthing something. I stood up on the box, and faced the group.

"As my comrade tries to get himself together, I will lead the meeting from now on." I said in a cool tone. "Tails, how fast can we get to the Doctor's base?"

"At full speed we can get there in a few hours." Tails answered.

"A few hours, that gives us time. Sadly no one has ever seen the base." I sighed.

I noticed Volki's ears prick up.

"I've seen it." She said. "And I broke into it too. Barely got out of there, but at least I got a map of the place."

I looked at her bewildered. "You have a map?!"

"Yup, yup. Made on blue paper with white ink. Weird huh?"

"Do you have it with you?"

"Of course I do. I never leave my tent without it."

She reached into her backpack, and took out a huge roll of blue paper. "Here it is." she said.

I took the roll of paper and gave it to Tails. Tails unrolled the map. "This is a blue print!" he exclaimed. "We're better off than I thought!"

"Blue prints?" I said. "Tails, can you find an entry point?"

"I can work on that right now." Tails answered.

"Then get to it. We don't have much time left." I ordered. "Everyone else get ready and relax. Volki, I'd like to talk to you."

Everyone left the bridge except for me, Tails, Volki, and Sonic (who was still trying to get himself together). Volki looked at me puzzled. She stepped towards me, and I got off the soap box.

"What do you want?" she asked.
