Here is another chapter of my fox story. I did only get 4 reviews last time but who cares. I like writing this story too much.
Chapter 8: The Mortal Slicer
"Commander SmokeStack, we've got reports from the Station Square police department that Sonic and the fox are headed toward Central City!" A solider said walking in nervously.
"Very good." Smoke merely stated.
"Should we send in a G.U.N quadrant to stop them?"
"Yes…but not yet." Smoke said while closing his eyes and seemingly counting minutes in his head. The confused soldier stood there for a second wondering what he meant but then decided to leave while he still had the chance. Smoke looked at his direction wondrously. 'Your mine fox.' He thought.
Central City tool booth entrance: 9:00 amSonic carried Tails on his back while heading toward the tool booth leading toward the city entrance up ahead.
"You ready Tails?" Sonic asked turning to the slightly worried fox. Tails looked at Sonic's confident face and nodded. "All right. Here we go!" Sonic dramatically increased speed and jumped over the whole tool booth. When he landed he immediately started to dart for the city, unaware of the small camera orb robot filming their actions.
Egg fortress: same time"Ha! They've entered Central City! Perfect! Now it's time to test this fox's true ability." Eggman said pressing a small button on his control panel. Once he did a shadowy face came up and stared down at them.
"What can I do for you Eggman." Asked the figure.
"Their heading for your domain. You know what to do."
"Right. I'll take them out, secretly and stealthily of course."
"Be careful and don't underestimate them. Ba Ba Baboon in the Station Square domain was killed in nothing flat by that fox."
"Don't worry about him. I'll get him to a certain place under the city then I'll kill him nice and slow. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The figure laughed then turned off his communication with Eggman.
"Good, you kill him nice and slow." Eggman smiled at the blank T.V monitor.
Central City: 9:05 amSonic and Tails were now in the huge city of Central. Sonic was feeling a little uneasy however. He knew there was a list of the FBI's top ten dangers that contained the most senile and evil people in the world. He also knew one of them was here. He wondered how anyone could live so peacefully knowing there was a dangerous killer somewhere in this city. Before he could keep processing this he crashed into something. Sonic fell backward and Tails fell off his back. They both hit the ground hard.
"Ow! Sonic?" Tails complained.
"Sorry Tails." Sonic looked forward and saw a purple chameleon rubbing his head on the ground. Sonic got up and offered him his hand. The chameleon accepted it and got up as well. "Sorry about that, we're just in a hurry to get somewhere." Sonic said knowing they had nowhere to go.
"Oh really?" The chameleon asked
"Well sort of. I'm just a little worried we won't have a place to rest at since we have no money with us."
Well if you need a place to stay I'm sure my boss wouldn't mind if you stayed at the office for a while." Said the chameleon.
"Really. Thanks. So what's your name?"
"Espio. Espio the Chameleon."
"Nice to meet you Espio. Come on Tails lets go." Sonic helped Tails off the ground and walked forward with Espio. Espio smiled successfully as he heard his boss speak in the small communication device in his ear.
"Great job Espio. Now we can turn him over to the police as soon as I call them." Vector said excitedly.
"I just hope they show up. I bet they wouldn't even take a glance at us after what you did last time to get the police there.
"Really now? Well I thought it was a nice complicated plan if I do say so myself."
"What plan? You drew a face on a sponge then stuck it on a stick then claimed it was a burglar."
"I still can't believe they didn't fall for it."
"Vector, a dead frog wouldn't fall for it." Espio then turned off his communicator and continued walking with Sonic and Tails.
Later that day"Well I know it's not much but here it is." Espio showed them the dirty and cluttered office. Sonic looked around and turned his attention to the small bee playing with a small red ball sitting on the couch.
"Is your boss that bee's father?" Sonic asked.
"No. Vector found him crying in the ruins of a destroyed building about a year ago. Reports from the attack say both his parents were dead." Espio explained. Tails frowned when he heard that. He knew how it felt not to have parents.
"That's so sad." Tails mumbled.
"I know. We also found out that he was the only survivor of the attack. Both me and Vector thought it was a miracle." Espio said while turning to the bee who had just dropped the ball on the floor. Espio walked over, picked it up, and gave it back to him. The bee threw the ball behind him and smiled.
"Espio!" Charmy said while grabbing Espio face and hugging it. The chameleon tried to get him off but it felt like he was glued there or something. Suddenly Charmy crawled onto Espio's pointed head and sighed in comfort. That's when Espio sighed in frustration.
"God I'm not good with kids." Espio whined. Suddenly the door burst open, which scared the hell out of both Sonic and Tails.
"I'm back and I come baring the beautiful Ms. Valentine." Vector the Crocodile said leading an apparent woman inside. Sonic and Tails both got shocked looks on their face when they saw the woman. Sonic desperately tried not to say anything bad. He tried holding his comment back, but he couldn't. The strain of blurting it out was too much. He had to say it.
"Damn! That Bitch is UGLY!" Sonic shouted. Everyone turned to Sonic who now had his hands over his mouth. There was a long awkward silence before Espio spoke.
"What Sonic means to say is…" Espio began.
"You look like a man wearing a dress." Tails blurted out. Everyone turned to him now. "What…she does." Tails said again.
"Ha Ha, what a kidder." Sonic said putting his hand over Tails mouth.
"Well! I've never been so insulted in my life!" She said in a weird male and female voice.
'That sure is hard to believe.' Sonic thought. Ms. Valentine walked into Vector's kitchen steaming with anger. That's when Vector walked over to Sonic.
"I hope you don't mind my asking but how can you call that beautiful?" Sonic said.
"I know she isn't beautiful. I only call her that because she's so damn rich." Vector explained.
"That's…pretty clever." Sonic admitted. Afterwards both Sonic and Tails walked into the kitchen to apologize, leaving Vector and Espio by themselves.
"So, when are the police showing up?" Espio asked.
"In about an hour. We need to make sure they stay in this place by then." Vector said.
"Well what if they want to leave. We can't threaten them or else they might suspect something."
"I know and that's when you and Charmy come in. You guys will stay here and distract the police until they come back."
"How the hell am I going to do that?"
"I don't know? Show off your fancy ninja tricks you've been working on."
"My ninja skills are developing quite nicely but I still don't think…"
"Now come on Espio, you know I would never let any of my teammates down. Remember when we were passing by that construction sight and Charmy flew in there and got his head stuck in a small pipe?"
"Yeah, you got him out about 10 minutes later. Poor kid's been claustrophobic ever since."
"There you go. You've just got to have faith in your boss that he will do the right thing, okay." Vector reassured.
"…But are you sure turning a national hero over to the police is the right thing to do?" Espio asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what if there is more to that story you read in that newspaper. We could be making a huge mistake."
"…"
"I'll take that a possible agreement."
"I guess that may be true but…I'm only going by what the police record on the newspaper said. If they want Sonic the hedgehog arrested than they are damn well going to get Sonic the Hedgehog arrested." Vector said walking into the kitchen as well. Espio merely sighed then followed. They all talked for a while before a huge explosion came from outside. They were all startled, especially Tails, who had just fallen out of his seat. Sonic immediately rushed to the fox's aid.
"Tails are you alright?" Sonic helped the fox up.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Tails merely said. "What was that?" The fox asked.
"I don't know, but we're going to find out." Sonic grabbed Tails' arm and was about to leave but was stopped by Ms. Valentine.
"Hold it. Maybe the fox should stay here and the rest of you should go, you know, safety reasons." She suggested.
"What! No! Sonic knows how good I am at being a fighter. Right Sonic?" Tails turned to his blue friend who was deep in thought. "Sonic?"
'I know Tails is strong and fast but…' Sonic had a flashback about what happened to that baboon and what happened at the mall. '…I'm afraid if I take him outside, he might hurt somebody again. We're in enough trouble already.' Sonic made up his mind and turned to face Tails. "She's right, you should stay here." Sonic said.
"What! But Sonic…don't you trust me?" Tails asked a bit taken a back.
"Of course I do…I just don't want you to get hurt." Sonic stated. 'I also don't want anyone else getting hurt as well.' Sonic thought.
"Come on hedgehog. Lets go." Vector said. Sonic merely nodded. Sonic, Vector, and Espio were soon out the door and headed for the direction the explosion was heard. Tails and Charmy were left behind.
"I can't believe this! Sonic knows I'm strong and brave and fast like him. How come I can't go?" Tails pouted.
"Here, I know what cheer you up." Ms. Valentine grabbed Tails' arm and took him outside. Charmy followed as well. When they got outside they saw a nice looking metal van with lightened buttons on them.
"Wow! Look at that! What is it?" Tails asked.
"It's a high-tech storage van. What to take a look inside?" She asked.
"Sure! It looks cool." Tails said excitedly. She opened the van doors and crawled inside. He immediately gasped at what he saw. There were many dead bodies rapped in see through plastic inside the van. That's when Tails all of a sudden felt uneasy and soon became terrified. He was about to get out when he suddenly felt a huge pain in the back of his head. His eyes rolled back and he passed out inside the truck.
45th street in Central City
Sonic, Vector and Espio had just arrived at the scene to see many firemen trying to put out the fire in the burning building. Sonic ran up to them, hoping the news that happened in Station Square didn't reach here yet, and tugged one of their yellow jackets.
"Yo, what happened?" Sonic asked. The firefighter turned to the hedgehog wondrously.
"There was an explosion that took place inside there. We don't know how it happened." He explained. Sonic sighed in relief that he didn't know he was a wanted hedgehog but then he remembered the burning building.
"Is everyone out okay?" Sonic asked.
"No one made it out. The explosion happened to quick and so unexpectedly that none had time to escape."
"What a shame." Espio said really meaning it.
"Don't worry, I'll go look for survivors." Sonic ran toward the building and ran inside. He rummaged around the flames and searched far and wide for any sign of human or animal life but to know avail. Eventually he ran into a room with a many black cards lying on the floor. Something was wrong though, flames surrounded the cards but they weren't burning. Sonic ran over and picked one up. It read 'The mortal slicer' and had a picture of a bloody knife on the front. Sonic turned the card over and saw the Eggman symbol. "I knew that Egg head had something to do with this." Sonic said angrily. Suddenly a huge burning plank of wood slammed on top of the rest of the cards. The surprised hedgehog got up and jumped out the nearest window. He fell toward the ground and landed behind the fire trucks where Espio and Vector were.
"Did you find any survivors?" Espio asked. Sonic shook his head. Both Espio and Vector sighed in sorrow.
"I did find this however." Sonic showed them the card he found. Vector and Espio examined it closely.
"I've seen that card somewhere before." Vector said. "I can't remember where though." He continued.
"Well I'm sure it will come back to you later. Come on we've got to get back to that office." Sonic stated. Vector and Espio nodded then followed the hedgehog back to their office, leaving the firemen to finish their jobs.
5 minutes later
"Tails! I'm back! Little buddy? Where are you?" Sonic asked a little worried that his friend was nowhere in sight.
"Ms. Valentine was here with Charmy and your fox friend. Maybe she took them out to eat or something." Vector suggested.
"That would explain why her van is gone." Espio said.
"Yeah but something doesn't feel right." Sonic said worriedly.
"Why?" Espio asked.
"I know Tails and he isn't the type to run off with someone he doesn't know." Sonic explained.
"Are you saying she might have done something with them?" Espio asked.
"I don't get it. Why would she take them away and where would she go? That doesn't make sense." Vector said slamming his hand against a bookshelf. The shaking of the shelf caused a newspaper to fall over Vector's head. "Oh my God!" Vector shouted making Espio and Sonic turn to his direction.
"What is it?" Sonic asked as he approached the crocodile. Vector took the paper off his head and showed it to them.
"Look at the picture. It's a picture of the same card you have in your hand." Vector pointed out. Sonic held up the card to his face and saw that he was right.
"What does it mean?" Sonic asked. Vector began reading the article that followed the picture.
"It reads 'The mortal slicer strikes again! The criminal that is hiding somewhere in Central City has struck again. His resent attempt was the destruction of the Sunset apartment building.' Hey I remember that. That was a year ago when we found Charmy in that building's ruins." Vector stated then began reading again. " ' The criminal seems to leave behind mechanical and indestructible cards to mark his crime scene. Examination of these cards shows that they were created by the evil Dr. Eggman obviously telling that he works for the evil genius. Ever since the police have grown closer to finding who this man really looks like he has taken a new approach on caring out his duties. It seems that he sometimes dresses up as a woman to take away suspicion from him. Be on the look out for someone who might be dressed up as a woman in order to fool you. It's said that he sometimes encourages parents or guardians to leave him alone with their kids and takes them away as soon as they are gone. No one knows the whereabouts of this man or what he does to the people he kidnaps. As of now he's still at large.' Vector finished reading.
"You don't think that Ms. Valentine could be the Mortal slicer…do you?" Espio asked.
"…I…I don't know…she could be…" Vector tried to speak.
"I knew that bitch was too ugly to be a female! I'm going to find Tails and that bee and bring them back here safely!" Sonic said. Vector and Espio both looked at each other than at Sonic.
"But you can't do that." Vector said.
"Why not?" Sonic asked.
"Because no one knows where he is?" Espio stated.
"I'll find out where he is. Don't worry you two, I'll find your bee friend and I'll find my fox friend too." Sonic said heading toward the door.
"Do you even have any leads as to where he might be?" Espio asked.
"No." Sonic answered plainly.
"Then how are you going to find them?" Vector asked tapping his foot.
"…I will find them…I just…"
"Sonic, I know your worried about Tails and we're worried about Charmy too but in order to find them we're going to have to think straight and be calm about this." Espio explained. Sonic looked down at his feet feeling unwilling. He then turned to Espio and nodded.
"I can't believe I let a murderer on the FBI's top ten list in this house alone with two kids." Vector sulked.
"Don't worry about it Vector. It wasn't your fault. You didn't know." Espio reassured. That's when they heard police sirens outside. They heard the sounds of many police cars driving up to the office and the sound of doors slamming.
"Uh oh." Vector said.
"This is the police! We know you're in there hedgehog! Come on out with your hands up!" shouted an officer through a megaphone outside.
"How did they know I was here?" Sonic asked then turned to Vector and Espio who were rubbing the backs of their heads and were sweating hard.
"You guys did this?" Sonic sounded surprised.
"Well…yeah…it was before I knew that you were a nice guy and…well…I sort of sent Espio out to find you and take you here and have you wait long enough for the police to get here." Vector admitted.
"I thought you said they were showing up in an hour." Espio said to Vector.
"I thought so too. It could only mean one thing. That isn't the police force I called." Vector said.
"Open up Hedgehog! I want that kitsune!" shouted a familiar voice.
"Wait a minute I know that voice. That's that SmokeStack dude I met on Westside Island." Sonic blurted out.
"Come on Sonic! We can escape through the back window." Espio suggested. Sonic nodded and followed them to the back window.
Outside the office"Uh sir, why did you decide to wait 5 minutes before sending G.U.N and the police out here?" asked a confused soldier.
"Because…I wanted the timing to be just right." Smoke explained then held up his megaphone. "All right troops bust the door down!" Smoke yelled. Many G.U.N agents and police officers immediately ran up to the house and burst the door down. They all pointed the guns in all directions before looking around the place. They all found nothing but an open window. They all ran out to tell SmokeStack the news.
"Sir, they're gone." Said an officer.
"Well then…" Smoke began before a voice sounded in his head.
"SmokeStack." Said the voice.
'Darkness, is that you?' Smoke thought toward Darkness.
'Call back your troops.'
'What. Why? You said we were allowed to do anything it takes to kill the kitsune.'
'Do it NOW!'"…Fine." Smoke said out loud.
"Uh…fine what sir?" asked the officer.
"Fall back troops." He merely said. They all gasped in confusion. 'Darkness, you'd better have a damn good reason for this.'
'I assure you I do. It seems The Eggman has used one of his minions to capture the kitsune. This may indeed create a huge emotional discharge on the hedgehog's part. Instead of going in there and delaying the hedgehog's chance of escape, why not let him escape until he finds his fox friend.' Darkness explained.
'Can't you use your power to find him.?' Smoke asked.
'I cannot. It seems Eggman provided the kidnapper with a shield that blocks off my demonic powers. He must want to be the one to have the honor of killing him. However the prophecy says other wise. The fox will become the evil kitsune.' Darkness explained.
'Say what you want but I will kill him. Screw that evil kitsune crap.' Smoke thought as he headed back to his G.U.N vehicle and drove off.
Unknown cellar underneath the city"…Ugh…where…where am I?" Tails had just regained consciousness and found himself chained to a chair. The confused fox looked over and saw Charmy Bee sitting in a chair across from him, still unconscious.
"Your in my cellar." Said a figure as he walked up to Tails. Tails all of a sudden got that scared look on his face again. The figure came closer and reviled his identity.
"Ms. Valentine?" Tails said in a voice that sounded like he was on the verge of tears.
"Wrong!" She or rather he pulled off the wig and reviled the top of his head, which was made of metal.
"So you are a man." Tails was crying now.
"Yup. After your guardians left I knocked you and the bee out with a bat and took you here. Isn't this a wonderful place?" He said as he moved out of the way of Tails' vision. As soon as he did he wished he hadn't. The room was filled with corpses of dead bodies. Dried up blood was splattered all over the ground, walls, and even on the chair Tails was sitting in. Tails started to burst out in uncontrollable tears now.
"What? You don't like the way it looks. Too bad considering you're about to become part of it." He said. Tails' ears perked up and he looked at the man in the most horrified face ever.
"You're going to kill me?" Tails said through his tears.
"Well what did you think I was going to do, invite you to dinner?" He said then turned on his communicator.
"Oh Dr.Eggman, the fox is here." He said as he began speaking with Eggman. Tails didn't even care what they were talking about. He was too scared to think straight at all. The suspense of knowing he was going to die was so terrifying that he began to panic inside his head.
'I'M GONNA DIE! SONIC SAVE ME! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! SONIC!' He screamed in his head. Just then he put down his communicator and noticed Charmy beginning to stir.
"Well now, I guess it's time to begin." He said. "Oh and by the way my name is the Mortal Slicer! But just call me Slicer."
Sewers leading toward cellar: 9:35
"Are you sure they are in the sewers Vector?" Sonic asked as he walked through the gooey mess in the small tunnel.
"Positive. It's the only place the police investigators haven't looked. What better place to start looking in then the last place someone would ever look." Vector stated.
"He's right. With any luck they should be at the end of this tunnel." Espio stated.
"Shhh! Do you here that?" Sonic asked. Espio and Vector both shook their heads. "There it is again." Sonic said while turning around.
"Wait I here it now. It sounds like the beating of sharp blades." Espio said. As soon as he said that 2 fly shaped robots flew from behind them and flew toward them with their blade wings beating loudly.
"Uh oh." Vector said.
"Don't worry I'll handle it." Sonic jumped in the air and landed on the backs of one of the flies. Vector and Espio jumped on the back of the other one. Sonic then put his hands in front of the fly's eyes. "Guess who." He smirked. The fly now couldn't see and began flying out of control down the tunnel. Sonic looked across each area they passed. There was no sign of any strange activity going on. That is until he heard a huge scream come from one of the halls the fly passed. Sonic quickly jumped off the fly and ran toward that area at the fastest rate he had ever gone.
"Hey, Sonic got off his fly!" Vector shouted then noticed the fly Sonic was riding on just crashed into a wall and exploded. "Quickly, we need to destroy this thing!" Vector shouted through the sound of flapping blades.
"I'm on it!" Espio pulled out a ninja star then jammed it against the back of the fly, than they both jumped off and immediately followed Sonic. The star exploded three seconds later caused the fly to be destroied as well.
Back in the cellar"Aww, did I hurt the little fox so much that he had to scream?" Slicer said while smiling. He had given both Tails and Charmy a slight cut across their chests with the chopper that was attached to his hand. It appears that he was able to use a small cloaking device on his hand in order to hide it. However the device wasn't able to hide the fact that if anyone touched it they would bleed instantly, so he didn't allow anyone to touch his hand. So far Tails and Charmy were beaten across the face and cut across their chests. Charmy was crying loudly, as was Tails. They were both pretty scared about what was happening to them. The cut wasn't deep but it still sort of hurt.
"Next, the arm comes off." He said in the most demonic voice Tails had ever heard. The fox all of a sudden started to squirm really hard but to no avail.
"Please, let me go! I want to live!" Tails shouted.
"Well we all don't get what we want, now do we! I wanted to be a great hero but couldn't because I was told by my boss at the detective agency that I was too ruthless to be on their team. It may have not been the best detective squad but it was one I could afford to be on. After they rejected me I came back the next day and found their leader named Solemn the Bee and cut him up for no reason. When I tried to get away I ended up falling and cracking my head wide open. Luckily Eggman found me and repaired my head. He also gave me this cool chopper and attached it to my hand. I kidnapped you because the doctor wanted me to and I kid napped the bee because…he reminds me so much of that Solemn guy who turned me down." Slicer explained.
"So it was you!" Vector shouted from behind. Slicer turned to face the crocodile in shock. "Solemn was my best friend besides Espio back then. I remember the day when I woke up and got a call from his teammates that he was dead! I couldn't believe it! Now that I've found out who caused his death I going to take up the chance to get revenge!" Vector explained.
'He…he thinks of me as his best friend?' I didn't know that?' Espio thought. He would have never have guessed that considering the huge amount of work Vector expected him to do. After all, Espio is only 12.
"Sonic and Espio, go free Charmy and Tails. I'll take care of this dude." Vector ordered. They both nodded and ran towards the tied up prisoners.
"Oh no you don't!' Slicer's chopper extended at Espio and Sonic but Vector quickly ran in front of it and used both his hands to stop it.
"I said I'll take care of you, understand?" Vector said smugly. Slicer just growled. Sonic ran up to Tails and busted the chains. As soon as they fell to the floor he noticed Tails had his eyes closed and tears were still rapidly flowing out of them.
"Tails, it's me Sonic." Sonic said. Tails recognized the voice and opened his eyes. His cerulean blue eyes met that of Sonic's cheerful emerald green eyes. Without warning, Tails lunged at Sonic and hugged him tightly. Sonic returned the hug as well.
"Oh Sonic, I knew you'd come! It was scary! He was gonna kill me Sonic!" Tails cried.
"Not while I'm alive buddy." Sonic reassured. Tails hugged him tighter. When Espio broke Charmy's chains Charmy pulled Espio into a hug as well, but being a 2 year old he couldn't say what Tails said. Instead he kept crying. Espio picked the bee up and turned to see Vector fighting the crazy man with the chopper.
"You were a fool to come here Vector!" Slicer shot his chopper at Vector, which he easily dodged.
"Yeah, at least I don't where girl clothing for a living." Vector threw a punch at Slicer who immediately dodged it as well.
"Okay then, when I kill you I will dress your corpse up in as many dresses as I want." Slicer said chucking his chopper at Vector multiple times. The crocodile dodged each one then grabbed the chopper while it was extended. He then lifted Slicer up by the chopper and tossed him to the other side if the room.
"Sorry, but I don't think so." Vector said as he took out a packet of gum.
"Vector! This is no time for gum!" Espio shouted. Vector acted as if he didn't here him. He took out the purple colored gum and put it in his mouth, then began chewing. Slicer got up and looked at Vector angrily. Vector just blew a purple bubble and took it out of his mouth, leaving a huge purple bubble floating in the room.
"Hey Slicer dude, I dare you to pop this bubble." Vector dared.
"What? Are you serious? Oh, what does it matter? I will not back down from a challenge." Slicer ran up to the bubble and sliced it in half.
"Gotcha." Vector said. Right after he said that a huge fireball shot out at Slicer. The blast flung him across the room and slammed him against the wall. Everyone cheered at Vector's victory. Sonic quickly used the chains on the ground to tie up and restrain the culprit. After 10 minutes the police finally arrived after Vector went back to the surface to get them. Sonic and Tails weren't arrested because the police force that Vector found was the one he was originally going to call, not the one led by Smoke. Smoke and his force had already left the city for some unknown reason. Vector told the police Sonic was inicent of the crimes he told them about and believed him. Slicer was placed under arrest and scheduled for execution the next day at 8:00 am. The Chaotix were then given a huge cash prize for finally capturing one of the FBI's most wanted. Tails was now sitting with Sonic on the ground leaning against a building. The fox watched as the Chaotix spoke with the police. He had a white towel draped over his shoulders and was holding a cup of juice given to him by the police. Sonic didn't have a towel but did have some of the juice.
"Hey Tails, I'm sorry I didn't take you with me. If I trusted you enough to let you come with me then this probably wouldn't of happened." Sonic explained.
"It's alright Sonic, after all it's not your fault. You were just trying to make sure I didn't get hurt." Tails forgave him.
"Thanks buddy." Sonic said.
Egg Fortress: same time"Damn it all to hell!" Eggman shouted. "Mortal Slicer was captured and is now going to be killed. I am a little bit shocked by the fact the fox didn't turn into that scary black version of himself I saw when I was spying on Ba Ba Baboon's last battle with him. Those small camera orbs certainly do come in handy. But back to the matter at hand." Dr. Eggman said pressing a red button. Suddenly 4 faces appeared on four different monitors.
"Hello doctor, why have you contacted us." Said the first figure.
"Mortal Slicer has failed. You four are my strongest and most valiant commanders. Since you four all have a chaos emerald with you I'd advice that you hang on to them for Sonic and the kitsune will be headed your way." Eggman explained.
"Don't worry Eggman, if they come here I'll show them what for!" said a different commander from before.
"What Igneous means to say is that we will take care of it sir." Said the third commander.
"Very good." Eggman turned off his communication with them then sighed. He sure hoped Darkness knew what he was doing. If not, he just might be losing his greatest allies for nothing. "Bocoe, Decoe! Bring me some prune juice with a raw egg." Eggman commanded.
Back in Central City the next daySonic and Tails spent the night with the Chaotix then decided to leave, knowing the information that Sonic and Tails were wanted in Station Square would be present to the whole city soon. Vector wondered how Espio was able to get his hands on a paper that stated Sonic and Tails were wanted. When Espio told him that he went all the way to Station Square just for the newspapers Espio was granted less work from Vector. Now they were standing at the exit of Central City and were ready to say goodbye to Sonic and Tails as they moved on.
"Are you sure you can't stay for a little while longer." Vector asked.
"Sorry but we need to keep going. I know Eggman is out there somewhere and I'm going to find him, with the help of my pal Tails of course." Sonic said looking at the fox. Tails smiled weakly. He was still thinking about the events that happened the day before. He couldn't tell Sonic he was still scared though. Then he'd probably think Tails wasn't cut out to be a hero.
"Bye Sonic." Charmy shouted happily.
"Yeah see ya." Espio stated too. Sonic put Tails on his back then ran down the road leading to the highway at a fast passé. It seemed like they still had a long way to go.
There it is everyone. Took me almost a whole day to type this one. Review please.
