Hey, I'm sorry about the horrendous delay. I've had a bit of writers block that held me up. Anyway, here's Episode 4!

Episode 4: Genie Magic

Ragged breathing could be heard as a girl runs through a forest, desperately trying to escape from her pursuers.

"Get her!" a loud voice was heard. The girl quickened her pace, breathing even more heavily. She tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. She tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. She tried to get back up, but collapsed from exhaustion. The last thing she saw was a flash of light, before she fell into unconsciousness.

Prison Island

3:26pm

In one of the old dormitories, the girl began to stir. She slowly opened her eyes and upon realising that she wasn't in the forest or on the Black Comet, she began to look around and received the shock of her life. Sonic the hedgehog was fast asleep, his head resting against her chest. Shahra admitted that Sonic looked cute like when he was asleep.

"Sonic..."

"AHH!" Sonic yelped, sat bolt upright and fell off his chair.

"Sleeping beauty awake, now is she?"

"Ho, Ho. I don't think that I was the only sleeping one here, you know. What are you doing here, anyway? Where is here, anyway?" Shahra asked staring at the Azure Blue Hedgehog.

"Watching over you, of course."

"That's not what I meant and you know it!" Sonic looked taken aback.

"Whoa, no need to snap now, is there? And as for your other question, we're at base, known as Prison Island." The girl genie sighed

"I'm sorry, Sonic. I shouldn't have snapped like that. I've just been through so much, recently, that's all."

"Hey you're not the only one. Not with Black Doom and Erazor Djinn trying to take over and all..."

"DOOM? DJINN? WHERE?!" Shahra dived back under the covers of her bed.

"Err, are you SURE you're okay?" Sonic asked the trembling lump under the covers known as Shahra.

"Do I look okay to you?!" Shahra unintentionally snapped again.

"Well, you look a whole lot better since we patched you up."

Upon hearing this, Shahra grabbed the handheld mirror that she'd spotted upon the bedside table and studied her reflection carefully. Sonic had been right. There were several plasters on her face and most of the scratches were nearly healed completely. She collapsed back onto the bed.

"Just who is 'we' anyway? She asked.

"Oh, yeah." Sonic put his head around the door and yelled

"Guys! She's awake!" less than five seconds had passed before Tails and Knuckles had entered the room.

"Ali-Baba? Sinbad?"

Shahra asked.

"Did she take a knock to the head or something?" Tails asked as Knuckles stared at Shahra as if she was crazy. Sonic whispered something in their ears and they understood immediately.

"Shahra, this is Miles "Tails" Prower..."

"Nice to meet you." Said Tails.

"This is 'Hot-Head' Knuckles the Echidna..."

"WHAT?!" "Fine, this is 'Mr-I'm-in-love-with-the-master-emerald' Knuckles the..."

"I am NOT in love with the Master Emerald!"

"Explain this picture that Rouge snapped of you in the tunnel of love snogging the lump of green rock, then!" Sonic replied, pulling out a photo.

Knuckles snatched the photograph and looked at it. You could see steam coming out of his ears.

"I'LL KILL THAT BAT-GIRL!!" Knuckles screamed.

"And this is...where's Blaze?" Sonic asked, uncovering his ears.

"Listen." Tails replied. And sure enough, they could all hear the sounds of Blaze vomiting violently in the nearest toilet.

"What's up with her?" asked Sonic.

"Knuckles cooked lunch." Tails replied before Knuckles could stop him.

"That explains a lot." Sonic said, doubled up in laughter. Knuckles gave the fox a "You're gonna be dead" look. Then they heard Blaze's voice from around the corner.

"Knuckles, do us all a favour and never go near the stove again. Also, if you leave it alone for long enough, your eyebrows might just grow back." Knuckles grabbed the handheld mirror, looked at his reflection and screamed

"My Eyebrows! THEY'RE GONE!"

The Black Comet

4:47pm

"Ugh, we were so close as well! If it wasn't for that blue rat and his Chaos Control we would of-" Black Doom cut Erazor Djinn off.

"I don't know why you are so interested in the Genie girl, what can she do to stop us?

"I'd say that too, but she's still that blue rat's genie! And means more trouble for us!"

"Why didn't you say this beforehand? She must be found and killed quickly!"

Erazor Djinn nodded and called to a monster over his shoulder. The monster looked like a giant handheld radar, with a satellite dish for a face.

"This is Trackerson. He can find anything extremely quickly. With him, finding Shahra should be easy!"

"Finding Shahra shall be no problem for me! And if those pesky Sonicangers get in my way, they'll REALLY wish that they hadn't!" Trackerson laughed.

"Hhm, I hope you can back up those words with actions..." Black Doom said to the overgrown radar.

"Oh, you can count on it, sir!" And with that he was beamed down to Station Square.

Prison Island

4:57pm

Things had quietened down slightly, and Blaze had been introduced to Shahra. Then Knuckles asked a question.

"How did you escape?" Shahra sighed.

"Well, when Black Doom released Erazor Djinn from the book of the Arabian nights, he accidentally released me as well. And then I teleported down to Mobius, but it drained most of my energy. Then they found me in the forest about three days later. I tried to run, but tripped over something and when they were catching up to me, there was a flash of green light and I ended up here"

"And that green light was me performing Chaos Control." Sonic finished. Shahra blinked.

"Chaos Control?" "If I have a Chaos or Sol Emerald in my possession I can use Chaos Control, a move that allows me to move through time and space, kinda like that 'Time Break' move you taught me. I only wish it was still possible for me to use it..."

As could be expected, the computer started beeping. The heroes gathered around and a new screen popped up, showing Trackerson and a small army of Black Arms marching through the city.

"My signal shows that she's in this direction!" Trackerson cried.

"I think we all know who he means by 'she'" mumbled Knuckles and they all glanced at Shahra.

"What are we waiting for? It's jam and juice time!" Sonic replied, and they all headed out of the door.

Station Square

5:04pm

Trackerson and the Black Arms were still heading through the city. Trackerson paused for a moment. He could detect another life form in the vicinity. The ground started to shake violently, causing the Black Arms to fall. They spotted Knuckles, who was using his control over earth to cause the earthquake.

"Why, you..." Trackerson began, but was interrupted by Sonic and Tails, who were using Spindash and Rapid Tails Attack to quickly wipe out the Black Arms.

"You three don't know when you're making a big mistake, do you?" Trackerson asked.

"Us? You're the one that's making a big mistake by trying to capture our friend and thinking that you can get away with it!" Sonic replied, the others nodding in agreement.

"Whether she's your friend or not, she'll be coming with me! But first, I'll have to take you out, first!" and with that he began to fire lasers from his satellite dish at the three heroes. They dodged the blasts...or so they thought. The lasers homed back in and knocked the trio off their feet.

"Ha Ha! Do you like my homing lasers, then?" Trackerson asked. He fired more lasers, but no matter what the heroes did, they just couldn't avoid them. Sonic tried running up the sides of walls to avoid the blasts, but Trackerson just fired more homing lasers.

Meanwhile, while he was distracted, Tails and Knuckles saw their chance.

"Ninpuu! Shinobi Change! HAA!"

There was a flash of Red and Yellow light, and Sonikku Yellow and Sonikku Red were ready for battle. They attempted to hit Trackerson from behind with their sabres, but Trackerson saw this and blasted them down. Sonic used his chance to morph and managed to hit Trackerson from behind with the Sonic Striker.

"Agh! You'll pay for that!" Trackerson blasted laser after laser and one by one, they hit the Sonicangers.

"Can't...take...much more" Tails groaned, attempting to get up, but he just collapsed back onto the floor.

Meanwhile...

Blaze and Shahra were still in the central control room. Blaze had her eyes closed her fingers crossed and was muttering "Come on...Come on" under her breath. Shahra took a deep breath and also closed her eyes, and she uttered a strange spell.

Back in the fight...

Trackerson laughed and the Sonicangers and prepared for more lasers to be fired. Then a strange golden ring appeared on Sonic's finger. He barely had time to recognise it before Trackerson fired his lasers again.

Instantly realising what the ring was, Sonic yelled "TIME BREAK!" instantly, time slowed down around the Sonicangers, everything going about ten times slower than it normally would do. The heroes used the sabres to destroy the laser blasts, and as time began to return to normal, they formed the Sonic Cannon. Time returned to normal and before Trackerson had time to register what was happening, Sonic pulled the trigger, and the overgrown radar was instantly obliterated. "Thanks Shahra!" Sonic said to his communicator. Blaze's voice rang back out at him.

"Save the thanks for later. Look!" Erazor Djinn, like last time had made Trackerson grow to a monstrous size.

"Not again!" Knuckles yelled.

"Yes, Knuckles, again. Shinobi Machines!" Tails called. The Falcon, tiger and Shark appeared and charged at Trackerson. The Sonicangers leapt into the cockpits and yelled; "Sonpujin, activate!" The three robots instantly combined into one.

The Sonpujin stomped towards Trackerson and attempted to punch him, but was blasted down by his lasers.

"Can't we use Time Break again?" asked Tails. "

No, it takes some time to recharge before we can use it again!" Sonic replied.

"Oh, that's just great!" Knuckles yelled.

Prison Island

5:16pm

Another medal-like object appeared in Shahra's hand and she showed it to Blaze. Blaze nodded and inserted the medal into a small contraption to the left of the computer. She typed in a code and the medal disappeared. Blaze then spoke to the Sonicangers over the intercom.

"Guys, I'm sending over some back-up. You're going to need it."

Then the medal appeared in front of Knuckles.

"Hey, is this what I think it is?" he asked.

"No Knuckles, it is not a Shinobi Medal, even though it looks like it. It is a Power disk, it works in the same way the Shinobi Medals do when you're summoning up weapons for the Sonpujin do, just like the Sonic Blade. This particular one was created by Shahra here, so I don't know what it does."

"Looks like we're about to find out" Knuckles said and inserted it into a slot.

The chest of the Sonpujin appeared and Karakuri ball No.8 came out. It opened up to reveal a magnificent purple shield.

"Big deal! That thing isn't gonna stop me!" Trackerson fired more lasers, but the Sonpujin used the shield to stop the blasts.

"W-What?! T-That's impossible!"

"I've always managed to do the impossible, so what's so surprising?" asked Sonic.

"Let's see if this guy can detect his destruction!" called Tails.

"Right! Mystic Shield, Sword Mode!" they called together and the Shield transformed into a huge sword. They used the sword to knock Trackerson into a large field, away from the city.

"Mystic Slash!" the Sonicangers yelled, and the Sonpujin brung the sword down on Trackerson, causing him to fall and explode. "Good guys: 3, Bad guys: much less than zero!" Tails called, giving the Thumbs-Down.
