Another chapter. Please Review. I do not own anything except the plot and OC characters.
Chapter 5: Tag
"Can't you go any faster?" demanded the echidna.
"Hey! If we go too fast, we could lose her." answered Cosmo's daughter.
They were chasing one of the Desert twins that was hiding under the sand with a chaos emerald. Knuckles and the plante girl weren't sure which twin it was, but they didn't plan on losing her. The Metarex stopped moving and popped out of the sand.
"'ello." she spoke waving at them.
"I'm going to tag her." said the echidna.
"Okay. Get ready to jump." spoke Starlight as she opened the cockpit.
Knuckles unbuckled from his seat and went onto the wing of the ship. Cosmo's daughter increased their speed and aimed for the Metarex. She nearly hit her, but swerved out of the way at the last minute. The echidna took the opprotunity to jump off and was going to tag the Metarex when she jumped out of the way.
"Oh dear. Oh my. You missed." she said.
Knuckles smiled and the Metarex turned to see the X Tornado firing lasers at her. She moved back and the echidna ran up to tag her. The Metarex fell down as Knuckles punched the back of her leg. Sand flew everywhere as she lay stunned on her back, but the Metarex recovered quickly. She sat up shaking her head and looked at the echidna.
"You get to guess. Who am I Knucks?" questioned the Metarex.
"You're Ert." declared Knuckles.
"Too bad. You're wrong. I'm Des. Goodbye." spoke Des as she giggled.
The Metarex disappeared into the sand before the plant girl could even get close to tag her. Starlight tried to find her on the radar, but Des had disappeared without a trace. Cosmo's daughter landed and opened the cockpit allowing the echidna to get back on the ship.
"Nice try. Looks like we have to look again." said the plant girl as she let out a sigh.
"I can't guess now. I wonder if Amy or Cream got the other twin." spoke Knuckles as he buckled up.
Starlight activated her comm and the two said girls appeared on the screen.
"No." said Amy and the girl rabbit.
"Did you guess or you didn't find them?" inquired Cosmo's daughter as she closed the cockpit.
"Cheese guessed, but was wrong." responded Cream.
"Choo." spoke the chao.
"She got away before I could get her." said the girl hedgehog
"What about Sonic?" asked the echidna as their ship got off the ground.
"We haven't been able to contact him or the Blue Typhoon." replied the girl rabbit.
"Choo. Choo." spoke Cheese.
"Let me try." said the plant girl as she tried to contact the others.
"Sonic. Tails. Chris. Do you read me? Please respond. Are you there?" spoke Starlight, but no one answered.
"Maybe their comms are down." said Knuckles.
"What about Sonic?" questioned Amy.
"He could be underground somewhere." responded Cream.
"Sonic can take care of himself. We need to find those twins." spoke Cosmo's daughter.
"O..ahhh!" screamed the girl hedgehog.
"Amy!" exclaimed the plant girl, girl rabbit, and echidna.
"Choooo!" cried out the chao.
