Four: The Search
Back at Sonic's house, Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Nova Rose, Miles "Tails" Prower, Silver the Hedgehog, and Spark the Porcupine were passing the time palying Go-Fish.
"Do you have any nines?" Shadow grumbled to Knuckles as he glared at the cards in his hands.
"Nope," Knuckles responded. "Go-fish"
"WHY DON'T YOU GO FISH, DAMMIT?!" Shadow yelled as he stood up and threw down his cards. "I freaking hate this game!"
Spark rolled his eyes. "Shadow calm down. It's just a game!"
"It's not that!" Shadow countered. "It's the fact that this game is so annoying!"
"Just one more game Shadow," Tails pleaded. "I was going to play with Sonic, but Amy dragged him to another date!"
"Rose-san?" Shadow questioned. A pang of jealousy hit him.
"Yeah," Nova answered. His voice seemed to have a hint of suspision in it. "Amy. Why so jealous, Shade?"
Shadow glared at him, not realizing what name the red hedgehog had called him by.
"I'm not jealous!" Shadow yelled again. "Why would I be jealous?! I don't like her, okay?!" The black and red hedgehog kicked a chair as he cursed silently under his breath. A sudden knock on the door made everyone look up.
"Instead of kicking the chair," Blaze the Cat said as she walked into the living room."Go answer the door."
Shadow glared at her and was about to protest when heard someone yell.
"Open up someone!" A familiar voice cried. "I need help!"
"Rose-san!" Shadow whispered as he ran towards the door. Silver stared at him leaving with wonder and amusement in his eyes as Knuckles let out a chuckle.
"I think he's lying," Knuckles said, stating the obvious.
"Nooo, you think?" Spark answered sarcastically as he followed Silver into the living room. Knuckles and the rest followed suit. There they found Shadow kneeling beside Amy trying to comfort her.
"Rose-san!" Shadow repeated again. "What's wrong?"
"Sonic! He's been..." Amy quivered at the mere thought.
"What?"
"The...Black Chaoses took him!" Amy tried really hard to hold back her tears only for them to come out even stronger.
Knuckles let out another chuckle when he saw Shadow attempting to put his arms around the pink hedgehog.
"He does like her, doesn't he?" Knuckles whispered to Silver. The white hedgehog did not respond and instead approached the two hedgehogs.
"What should we do?"
Shadow stared at the ground. "I don't know. We don't know where Kazu's hiding now...we don't even know why he had taken Sonic..."
Amy froze. Her dream began coming back to her. She remembered the ball of light that Kazu and the other figure had surrounded. Could it be...that my dream was telling me something?
"They're going to kill him..." Amy whispered.
Blaze stared at the pink hedgehog in disbelief. "What?"
"All the information we have was in my dream. Kazu...Eggman...they're working together to get rid of Sonic!"
"We've already seen how well they work together, Rosy." Nova said as he rolled his eyes.
"This is going to be different," Amy stood up. "Eggman must have that machine I saw...and of course Kazu is going to use the Black Emeralds to power the machine up to full max. If we don't do something...they might have a chance to succeed."
"We understand you completely," Nova answered. He folded his arms across his chest. "But we don't know where they're keeping him. How can we prevent them from murdering Sonic when we don't even know where Eggman and Kazu are?"
Amy's jade green eyes stared at the ground, searching for an answer in her memory. Kazu's lair...it seemed tunnel-like...could it be...?
"They must be underground!" Amy exclaimed. "And I think I know where one of the entrances are!" The pink hedgehog turned around and left. The rest of her friends followed.
"Does anyone else think that Amy's gone insane because of all of this?" Knuckles asked.
"If she is sure that she knows where they're hiding, than we'll follow her." Shadow answered firmly.
The red echidna rolled his eyes as he let out a chuckle. "Fine fine...Amy lover!" He soon got a bloody nose and a sore arm because of those words.

"Ugh..." Sonic stirred, attempting to wake up. His emerald green eyes opened and examined his surroundings. It was unfamiliar territory; everything was bare except for some lights in shape of a huge square with tall, purple rods on each corner. He sat up, trying to remember the past scenes. He was teleported to a dark corridor then...what happened after that? The blue hedgehog stood up.
"You're not going anywhere, hedgehog!" A familiar voice spoke.
"Huh?" Sonic turned around in time to see Eggman press a button. Immediately, dark blue lasers shot out of the four rods, surrounding Sonic with a thin layer of dark light.
"What is this stuff?!" Sonic nearly yelled as he tried to move. Nothing happened.
"Do you think you would get away that easily?" Kazu said with a laugh.
"I'm impressed with your inventions, Sonar." Eggman said with a grin.
"Sonar?" Sonic wondered out loud. Then, out of the shadows, a dirty green colored lizard appeared. He wore black slip-on shoes with dark red lines running through them and black fingerless gloves with red bracelets. Embedded in the bracelets were white diamonds. A dark red scar rushed through one of his yellow eyes and down to his lower jaw, something that made Sonic wonder why the mysterious lizard had that.
"Hello, Sonic," Sonar greeted. "We haven't met formally yet. My name is Sonar the Lizard and of course Eggman hired me to build a machine that will destroy you once and for all."
Eggman grinned. "Sonar is an excellent mecha mechanic. Even I'm impressed."
"I thank you again for your compliments." Sonar said as he bowed, something that made Sonic want to lose his lunch of chili dogs. "Should we start the experiment?"
"I think we should," Kazu answered before Eggman could. The evil genius made a face but said nothing. Instead he walked over to the controls of the machine and was about to pull it when...
"Doctor!" Mecha Shadow barged in, his turbo skate shoes on full blast. "Breachers at section 11!"
Sonic's eyes widened. Amy!
"Should we go stop them before they arrive here?" Kazu suggested, something that was not typical of him.
Eggman gritted his teeth. "We don't have time. In a few minutes, the petrifier on Sonic will dissentigrate and he'll be free to defend himself. We have to continue on with the original plan!"
"Should I warn the Eggbots?" Mecha Shadow asked as he headed for the door.
"No need to," Sonar stated as he walked towards the door. "I'll stop them myself."
Sonic stared at the lizard in horror. Who knows what kind of powers he has! I hope Amy has help on her side!
"If you must,' Kazu said as he rolled his eyes. "I would go but my help is needed more here."
Eggman glared at him, slightly offended by the comment but did not say anything. "Well, don't just stand there! Go!"
Sonar nodded and then ran off in search of Sonic's friends.
Sonic figited a little. Amy please tell me that you brought help...
WAAAH! Gomenazai for not updating soon! I've been extremely busy with school (like if thats anything new.-_-). So yeah...sorrrie! *bows a few hundred times* okay I'm done. *ahem*
