A/N: Hey hey hey peops! I'm back with another chapter and hopefully this will pump you up with adventure and stuff. I re-read the chapters I wrote and I realised quite a few things. Firstly, I keep using exclamation marks so I'll have to tone that down a bit. Secondly, I think I capitalized the words too much (like 'NOOOOOOO' or 'OH MY GOD!') so that'll decrease hopefully. Lastly, I think I lost my sense of humor or something cos I did not laugh one bit when I read it. I think it's because I'm more suited in writing angst and poetry...

(Angel island)

It's around 7am and the sun has risen from it's slumber. It's rays shone on the master emerald just to be rebounded off of its surface and create a green hue over our sleeping hedgehogs. Knuckles; who was already awake like an hour ago walked towards the slumbering hedgehogs and sighed.
"They should wake up right now, especially Sonic." He leaned on the side of the wall and munched on some grapes. "They gotta get the emeralds back. Hmmm," suddenly, an idea popped up in his head. His mouth twitched into an evil smirk and he rubbed his mitts in glee. "I have an idea~" he sang to himself.

Knuckles stepped out of the cave sniggering as he went. He came back a minute later but was carrying a dented metal bucket. Inside the bucket was freezing water that he got from the nearby river. He sneaked quietly in front of Sonic and before he could tilt the bucket load of water...

"Ah-achoo!" Silver sneezed all of a sudden making Knuckles jump. Unfortunately, the bucket slipped out of his mitts and spilled over Shadow who woke up instantly with a yelp.
"What the?" Shadow shivered and then glared at Knuckles who was starting to back away. Shadow got onto his feet and growled like an angry dog. "You stupid Echidna, how dare you spill water on ME!" Knuckles ran off with Shadow hot on his tail. Knuckles' pleas for help woken the rest of the hedgehogs up; well, most of them.

Sonic, Amy, Silver and Emi were woken up straight away. Nicky however was sleeping like a baby with Emi trapped in his arms.
"Silver, you help Knuckles before Shadow kills him. Amy and I will try and get Nicky to let go of Emi." Sonic ordered as Silver ran after the fuming life form.

"Shadow! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It just slipped out of my mitts." Knuckles was backed against the outside wall of the cave as Shadow stomped towards him. Shadow cracked his knuckles and swung his arm.
"I'm known for no mercy fool." Before Shadow could punch him, Silver used his powers to keep Shadow's fist frozen in one place. "Silver," Shadow turned and faced Silver who had a blue aura around his hands. Silver shook his head and then Shadow relaxed. His fist was unfrozen.

Shadow turned back to Knuckles and gave him a hard look and hissed:
"I'm letting you off now you coward. Next time, you won't be so lucky," Shadow skated off with a scoff and Knuckles breathed out in relief. He grunted and stretched out his back.
"Thanks Silver, I owe you one. Though, this is the first time I actually ran away...how did that happen?" Knuckles pouted in shame. He was suppose to be hotheaded and the strongest. Him running away from Shadow kind of burst his ego.

"Looks like you're not as similar as our Knuckles. He's always ready to fight anyone. At least you know you're no match with Shadow." Silver shrugged as they both followed Shadow.

"Nicky...wake UP!" Emi struggled to get out of Nicky's arms however he snuggled into her bangs more and his grip did not budge one bit. Emi managed to look up to Amy with her eyes. "I'm not gonna lie, I'm liking the fact he's snuggling with me but his grip's too tight! And he's drooling on me." Sonic sweat-dropped. Suddenly, he clicked his fingers.

"How ticklish is Nicky?" he asked with a sly grin. Emi thought for a second then shrugged.
"I don't know, he never really stuck around long enough for me to tickle him properly."
"Well, there's only one way to find out! Amy, you get his stomach, I'll get his armpits!" Sonic wiggled his fingers evilly and started to tickle Nicky below his arms on to his arm pits. Amy tickled Nicky on the stomach.

Nicky at first stirred but then started to chuckle in his sleep.
"Stop..." he murmured. An unintentional grin appeared on his muzzle as he started to bark out in laughter. His arms loosened around Emi's body letting her breath as he gave a non-manly squeal from the tickles. His eyes opened and he cried: "Stop! Geez..." Amy and Sonic stopped tickling him. "Now Why would ya do that?" Nicky yawned. Emi cleared her throat making Nicky realise the position they were in.

His arms were still wrapped around her waist and one of his legs was tangled in her legs. He chuckled nervously and quickly jumped up with a red hue clearly staining his muzzle.
"What the? Erm...I...I was cold..." Nicky stammered. Emi got up with a smirk and her face was inches away from Nicky's.
"Or did you enjoy cuddling up with me in the night, hmm?" she twirled her finger on his chest and his face heated up even more.

"He's got it bad for her, don't you think?" Amy whispered to Sonic. Sonic raised his eyebrow and snorted.
"I don't think so, look! He's trying to runaway." Sonic pointed at Nicky's trembling legs. Amy groaned crossed her arms.
"Why's he blushing? Why's he stammering? He could've ran away ages ago but look, he's still standing there." Sonic didn't reply which indicated that Amy won this round. "What's wrong, hedgehog got ya tongue," Amy's eyes were now half lidded as she leaned into Sonic's face.

"Don't even try," Sonic scowled and put both his hands on her shoulders to prevent her from leaning any further.
"Come on Sonic!" Amy whined "Just one teeny kiss?" she puckered her lips.
"Nuh-uh! No way,"
"One itsy bitsy kiss?"
"Nope."
"Soooniiiic~" Sonic sucked his teeth in and rolled his eyes "Pweeeety pleeeeeeease?" Sonic shook his head and Amy pouted in defeat.
"Fine! I will kiss you one day! One way or another, hmmph!" they both focused back on Emi and Nicky who were still in a lovey dovey argument- well according to Amy that is.

"It was not intentional. I was just keeping us warm!" Nicky's face was now seating in uncomfortableness. Emi snickered and shook her head as Nicky realised his mistake.
"If it wasn't intentional then how did you know that you were trying to keep us warm?" Nicky stepped back.
"Nicky! Don't you d-" too late, Nicky ran off. Emi was left behind with a bewildered face. Sonic burst out laughing and Amy was jaw-dropped. "Why are boys so shy?" Emi whined.

"I'm not shy." Sonic stated. Amy gave him a look that looked like it was saying 'Yeah, right.'

(With Nicky)

Nicky was running around in Angel island's forest to not only burn off excess energy but to try and keep his mind off of Emi. However, the second option was easier said than done. He skidded to a stop and sighed.
"That was a close one," he peered behind him and relaxed his stiff muscles a little "At least she's not chasin me...for now." Nicky looked around and spotted a large boulder. He wiggled his tail slightly, bent his knees and jumped up (the pressure on his knees gave him a boost) and onto the boulder. He lied down with one leg over the other and his arms crossed underneath his quills.

'It's getting to obvious lately,' Nicky closed his eyes and thought to himself. 'It's like the more I push her away, the more I want her.' He squinted his eyes in frustration but then sat up quickly.
"What am I thinking? She's only a friend! That's right, only a friend..." his smirk then turned into a frown "...only a friend..." he put a hand on his chest only to feel his heart beat increase into a faster rhythm. A slight cherry blush spread across his muzzle and ears. "I want to see her again." Nicky thought back to last night:

(Flashback)

"Atchoo!" Emi sneezed in her sleep as she tried to cuddle up to Nicky's legs. She moves a lot in her sleep so she unconsciously ended up with her head on one of his legs and her arms wrapped around another. Her sneeze however wasn't ignored as it was loud enough for Nicky to open one of his eyes. When he saw how much Emi was shivering, he opened both eyes and sat up slowly in order to not awaken anyone.

"Oooh..." Emi whimpered and unsuccessfully tried to cover her face by curling up onto Nicky's leg. Nicky looked ahead of him and saw that the rain outside was heavier and the wind picked up. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew the camp fire away in one sweep taking away all the heat almost instantly. Nicky tried to get up to relight the fire however Emi didn't let of his leg. He looked around and shivered. Knuckles along with the hedgehogs were lying by each other as if they weren't affected by the cold at all.

"Are they for real? It's freezing here." Nicky hissed to himself but was back to gazing at the shivering Emi. Nicky swallowed down his ego and carefully unwrapped Emi's arms from his leg. He shook the leg a little to get rid of the pins and needles in it. He cautiously picked Emi up to him and laid her head on his chest near his muzzle so his breath reached her quills. He tucked her arms between his chest and hers and wrapped his arms around her frail body. Their shivering started to cease and a peaceful smile rested on Emi's lips.

"She's so warm..." he whispered to himself and his arms tightened around her as he wrapped one leg over both of hers. He rested his chin on her head and grinned. "I'll be up before she even realises..." he drifted off to sleep...

(end of flashback)

"Too bad she woke up before me." Nicky lied on his stomach and started to swirl his finger on the boulder and kicked his leg back and forth like a little child. "She was so warm...not my fault..." he murmured.
"Sonic?"
"No, it's Nicky," Nicky turned to Knuckles who walked up to him. Silver was with him as well.
"Have you seen Shadow by any chance? We really need to start looking for the chaos emeralds." Silver asked. Nicky shook his head. "Well, he must've reached the others. Come on lets go!" Silver beckoned and he floated off. Knuckles was about to go with him but then stopped midway.

"Whassup Knux?" Nicky eyed at him.
"Grr, Batgirl is coming. I can sense it." Nicky groaned.
"Aren't ya gonna come with us to Eggman's base? We could've had a helping hand." Knuckles' shoulders drooped.
"If I go, the master emerald will be gone and I can't let that happen cos-"
"Yeah yeah. I know all that. Is Eggman still in that base we were in or has he relocated?"
""He's most likely to have relocated but I guess checking the base out wouldn't hurt, right?" Nicky nodded and grabbed Knuckles' wrist.
"Lets juice!" Nicky darted off dragging Knuckles' along with him to the group.

(With the others on Angel island)

"...so Baldy decided to have a base under the sea? Not sure Nicky will like that." Emi spoke to hologram Tails (that's SEGA Tails to you and me)
"But you guys have no choice. Unless he opts out then-" Tails was cut off.
"Heya bro!" Nicky arrived with a dizzy Knuckles trying to keep his balance "Did ya already find Eggman's lair?" hologram Tails nodded and a picture of a metallic dome underwater was shown.
"He's underwater," hologram Tails replied.
"Geez, just as annoying as our Egghead." Nicky muttered.
"Can't swim?" Sonic spoke and Nicky gave a slight nod.

"Can't exactly say I'm proud of it either." Sonic chuckled and replied.
"Same."

"Shadow, with the emerald you have, do you think you can chaos control everyone there?" hologram Tails turned to Shadow. Shadow did a quick count and shook his head.
"No, I only have one emerald. There's too many of us even though I excluded the echidna." Shadow spoke in a monotone.
"Can you at least try?" Tails pleaded. Shadow huffed and glanced at the picture of the dome.
"Okay then, if that doesn't work, we're gonna have to swim there." Nicky and Sonic gulped at the same time.

As if the mere thought of rain dampening their fur wasn't bad enough.
"Okay, take care you guys and the quicker you get this done, the quicker you guys could get home." Tails turned off his wrist device and the pixels of the blank hologram floated back into Emi's wrist device.
"I wonder how our Tails is holding up." Emi sighed. Amy put a hand on her shoulder and gave a quick smile.

"Everyone, hold onto one another, I'm going to attempt to chaos control us to the base." Shadow pulled out the chaos emerald as all the hedgehogs held onto one another.
"Have fun with Rouge, Knuckie!" Sonic teased.
"Have fun with Amy, Sonikku!" Knuckles countered back and Sonic's awestruck face boosted his ego up a bit. 'Makes up for running away from Shadow, heh.' Knuckles thought to himself.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow yelled and a bright light engulfed all six hedgehogs leaving Knuckles behind...alone...for ten seconds at least because:
"Oh Knuckie~"
"Crap!"

(With Tails (SEGA))

"It's been a night already. Time's so slow." Tails moped and chewed the end of his pencil. Even though he was worried about his friends out in a different dimension, he was so bored! "I need entertainment...company...anything..." he flopped his head on the desk and slumped his body on the chair. His two tails went heavy and dropped on the floor like weights.
"Hello? Mr Tails?" Tails' ears perked up.
"Cream?" his voice was full of eager.

He wasn't wrong. Cream entered the workshop and into the room where Tails and the blown up teleporting machine was. Her chao Cheese was with her too babbling as usual.
"Good morning Mr Tails!" Cream gave Tails a big hug that was firm yet gentle at the same time. Cheese mimicked her actions and Tails embraced the both of them back.
"Hey there Cream and Cheese. I told you, just call me 'Tails', please." he scratched the back of his head bashfully while Cream beamed at him.

"Okay Tails!"
"So, what brings you here?"
"Oh! That's right, I haven't seen Miss Amy and Mr Sonic all day yesterday. I invited them both to the Chao garden but they didn't show up. Amy never misses an even and Sonic loves the Chao garden."
"Chao Chao!" Cheese commented.
"I see, about that...it's a long story. Why don't you sit down and I'll tell you." Cream tilted her head in confusion but then sat down cross legged on the floor. Cheese had a question mark above his head instead of the usual dot.

(10 minutes later)

"...so now all we could do is hope for the best." Tails finished. Cream had a crestfallen look on her face but after Cheese tried to reassure her; the frown was replaced with a smile.
"You're right Cheese! They'll be okay. Isn't he right Tails?" Tails nodded and rubbed his knuckles against Cheese's head in a playful manner "Mr Sonic and Miss Amy always come back alright. Plus, they have sweet Mr Silver and strong Mr Shadow with them too!" she emphasized the word 'sweet' and 'strong' to prove her point receiving a giggle from Tails. Cream looked at the clock on the wall and gave a small gasp.

"It'll already 9am? I have to go back and eat breakfast Tails. Do you want to come with me?" her honey brown eyes pleaded.
"Well...I dunno..."
"Please?"
"Chao chao?"
"Momma makes the best pancakes in the world." Cream opened her arms to express her view.

"Better than Amy's pancakes?" Tails eyes at her playfully.
"In my opinion, Momma's food is the best in the world- but don't tell Amy!"
"You bet! Come on, lets go."
"Thank you Tails!" Cream got on her tiptoes and smooched on Tails' cheek making them explode with redness. "Come on!" she grabbed his hand and they proceeded to run though, Tails had a goofy grin on his face the whole time.

(In Eggman's underwater base)

A bright light emerged in the middle of the base midair and out came six hedgehogs. Emi and Silver landed perfectly on their feet while the others landed on either their back or face and stomach. Well, Shadow was the only one who landed on his face.
"Haha! You landed on your face~" Silver taunted but immediately stopped at Shadow's death glare.
"Ssh! Stay quiet!" Nicky hissed "Eggman has one of our emeralds right? Lets split up."
"I'll go with Amy," Emi stood next to Amy and they both squealed in excitement.
"Okay, calm down! I'll go with Silver." Nicky suggested.
"I'm fine with that." Silver shrugged.

"Aw, does that mean I've to be with Shadow?" Sonic whined but Shadow ignored him and started to skate off to the left pathway. Sonic grunted and sprinted after him. Emi and Amy took the middle path while Silver and Nicky ran to the path to the right.
"I hope they stay safe," Silver murmured.
"Shadow and Sonic? You're worried about th-"
"No! Amy and Emi." Nicky halted on the spot as did Silver.

"Silver, listen to me bud." He walked towards the psychokinesis hedgehog and put a hand on his shoulder. "Emi's a strong girl and if Amy's anything like her then she's able to take care of herself as well. You know, what Emi told me once?"
"What?"
"She doesn't like being the damsel in distress or the one who needs saving all the time. She wants to be able to fight and be strong. She doesn't like it when people see her weak or anything like that."
"When did she tell you that?"
"Years ago," Silver looked down on the floor and thought to himself: 'I wonder if Blaze feels the same way as Emi,' "Anyway, what are we waiting for? Lets look for the chaos emerald!" Silver nodded and used his powers to float up slightly.

Nicky darted off in a straight line passing plain metallic walls with Silver flying behind him. However, before they've gotten a couple hundred metres from where they stopped, Nicky skidded to a stop and Silver landed right by him.

"Laboratory and machine room. No unauthorized access allowed. Pfft! It's not like he's letting people have a tour around here." Nicky huffed. Silver put an ear on the gigantic door to listen to any sound that might come from it.
"I hear a lot of whirring and machines from in there." Silver spoke. He opened the door slightly and boy was Silver right.

"Whoa..." Nicky blinked. It was like they were inside huge industry. There were drones and badniks all over the place. Some were working on other inventions and fixing stuff while others were being fixed or were deactivated standing in neat rows on one side. However, what took Nicky's breath away was the chaos emerald in the center of the room. It was on top of a stand with a class dome over it. The chaos energy was fizzing in the inside of the dome and traveled through the wires that were connected to the glass.

The wires were connected to a strange machine that looked similar to Tails' teleporting machine. As soon as a fizz of chaos energy traveled from the wire and into the machine it was plugged into, the door of it swung open. Lots of smoke and steam came out of the door and out came...

Eggman: Ho Ho Ho Ho! (cough) (cough) It's the end of this chapter my folks and as you know I'll take over the world as usual and name it Eggman land and-
Eggman, it's not the end of the chapter so will you just GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
Eggman: Uf! Insolent pest! How dare you insult the world's greatest genius here? Unlike you I have an IQ of 300 and-
I don't care! Let me finish this chapter you imbeci-
Eggman:-and at least I got an A* when I was four years old; you didn't even know how to say your real name Sa-
No one's allowed to know my real name Eggy so will ya-
Eggman: Her real name is-
Let's carry on with the story and delete Egghead
Eggman: What? Noooooooooo-

(Back to the story)

The door of the machine opened and out came a robot that looked exactly like EM-25 except it was in a steel green colour. On the joints of the limbs were chaos energy glowing through the gaps. The metal looked really hard and more stronger too.
"Eggy has a whole squad of these bots." Nicky smirked. Finally, they were going to have some fun after all.

"Nicky, I have a plan." Silver whispered. "With your speed, turn off all the lights and with my telekinesis, I'll bring the emerald here."
"That's no fun," Nicky pouted "Plus, Egghead might have emergency lights or something and the chaos energy in the robots would glow and see us in the dark."
"Then what do you think we should do Mr." Silver narrowed his eyes.
"Distract them with your telekinesis and I'll try and receive the emerald."
"We'll get caught that way!"
"Don't we always?" Silver rolled his eyes and focused on a box full of small magnets.

The badnik that was suppose to be guarding it had its back turned towards it so Silver had no problem in making the magnets float in the air. The magnets were now high up in the air. Silver focused a little harder and bundled the whole lot together as one huge magnet. It was a bit heavy so Silver sweated slightly. The magnet hovered above a couple of badniks then:

CLANG! BONG! DONG!

The gravitational force of the magnet was so strong that it managed to attract the bigger droids as well. Only the EM robots were left. Sonic used this as his cue and in his famous speed, rushed towards the emerald smashing the glass dome and retrieved the powerful jewel that was now regaining its power.

Suddenly, the siren went off and the red emergency lights flashed.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" the siren went on and on.
"They realise that now? Jeez this Eggy is thicker than the Eggy back home," Nicky remarked. Unfortunately, Silver's exhaustion took the best of him and he lost his focus causing the magnet to fall and scatter. The droids and badniks were dropped on the floor too but the worst thing was:

"EM droids: activated." The inactive EM robots were set on and they all turned to Sonic and Silver. Their eyes turned red as they glared at the hedgehogs. "Must destroy Sonic The Hedgehog and Silver The Hedgehog."
"Looks like we have some metal to scrap Silver," Nicky tucked the emerald in his quills and got ready to fight. The laboratory door opened wider and Silver stuck out like a sore thumb.

PIKO! BOOM!

"Okay...Who turned off the lights?" Nicky groaned. This was bad timing. The chaos energy in the EM robots glowed as well as Silver's cyan aura in the dark.
"Only one object goes 'piko'" Silver retorted.
"Emi..." Nicky muttered. The girls were not too far away and to add to that, they've an army of EM bots to destroy! "Alright Silver, here we go!"
