{Aloha young ones, and maybe older ones. This is the 6th chapter of Storm's adventures of finding where the heck Wave and Jet are! So, let's go!... And!... Find the computer room!}
Just in case you guys forgot, the characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise belong to Sega and not me. If it did, Silver, Blaze, and the Babylon Rouges would have more face time.
Storm stopped jogging after from some time. He looked at the map and examined it for a while. 'It says that I'm almost there,' he thought to himself. He walked about, looking at the plain surroundings, jumping on the occasional puddles. Because Jet used the sewers as escape routes often, Storm was used of the smell and the surroundings. 'I remember the first time Boss decided to use the sewers. He fell into the gross water', Storm thought, laughing at the memory he had. After he walked some few yards, he heard birds chirping and cars passing by. Seeing that there was a manhole right on top of him, he decided to climb the ladder –thing to the top and pushed the manhole up. When he successfully took it off and tossed it somewhere on the top 'world', he peered his head out. Sure enough, the highway was some few feet away and across from it was a little forest. Storm looked from side to side, making sure that there weren't any cars coming. The coast was clear. He got out from the manhole, making sure not to hit his gear or to lose the flowers. No matter what it has been through, that flower remained bright and white. (A/N: NMG! It rhymed!)
"Alright. Now to head over to the trees," Storm said to himself, making sure that there were no cars passing by, as he walked across from the highway. Feeling confident with himself, he walked casually. Thinking he was safe, he didn't see the high speeding car coming towards him. When he decided to look to his side, he saw the car. This got him scared, so scared that he stood frozen. The driver, being distracted by the new single by Nikki Minaj and Rihana Raccoon, barely noticed the albatross.
"Kya!" The driver stepped on the brakes. Luckily, the car stopped some few feet away from Storm, which gave a sigh of relief.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" the female driver apologized.
"Are you oka-… Storm?" the driver asked, taking a better look at the victim.
"A-Amy?" Storm finally looked as the driver; it was that pink hedgehog that hit him with an Ark of the Cosmos.
"What are you doing in the middle of the highway?" She scolded him.
"I'm trying to get to Central City." Storm told her, maybe she can help him.
"Central City? I'm heading over there right now. Wow! You seemed like you went through a lot." Amy noticed how dirty he was. Storm looked at himself, he deducted that the sewer wasn't that clean of a place.
"Well, since I'm also going there, I guess I can give you ride. Just don't get my car dirty." She huffed. Storm smiled at her as he ran to her car. He jumped into the backseat, also making the car jump. This irritated Amy some. Storm adjusted himself in the car, it was really comfy. He started to take a closer look at the car; it was a pink convertible with beige seats, her steering wheel was black with pink heart that matched her heart shaped shift stick and the heart knobs of her stereo system. Amy shift it into forward and stepped on the gas pedal. Storm was a little scared at first, but then realize it was okay because she drives just like Jet: Recklessly. The song that was just blasting in the stereo just ended and Ryan Seagull was heard.
"Yo, all of my fans! Here's a report from the local town of Steal City*. The suspect is still on the loose. He is a member of the Babylon Rouges. They are notorious of being robbers. The member was classified as Storm Albatross who is a HUGE, grey bird. He was last seen carrying his extreme gear and a white flower. Be on the lookout and if you see him, please contact the police. Now let's jam on some Bull Dogg!" Ryan Seagull was heard and some rap music started playing.
Amy stepped on the brake pedal and looked back at Storm.
"You're running from the law?" Amy asked him, as she glared at him.
"I-I-I D-didn't do anything. I swear" Storm tried to explain before Amy drew out her piko piko Hammer.
"Then why did they announce you in the radio and why are you going to Central City?" Amy looked at him sternly.
"I'll tell you, if you keep driving." Storm told her. Amy thought about it, she didn't like this situation but she did like some gossip. She stepped on the gas break and the car zoomed off. After about a minute of silent driving, Amy started to ask questions.
"First things first, why are you in the news?" Amy asked as she looked to the road in front.
"I went into the city and people just saw me. I wasn't doing anything, but I guess they saw me and boss from another robbery and just decided to try to get me." Storm responded. Amy nodded her head, as I sign of understanding. Her pink curls wobbled up and down as she did so, Storm followed the curls with his eyes. (A/N: I'm getting lazy…)
"Question number two: How did you escape the city?"
"I was running away from the police when I found Vector and Charmy and Espio. They helped me out and even helped me look for boss. Even Mighty helped later on, by telling me that the sewers are the best way to get out."
"So that's why you're so filthy. Number three: Where is your boss?" Amy noticed that he was alone.
"We kinda landed in a meadow and I decided to go for a ride. I fell asleep and when I woke up, the ship and boss was gone."
"He left you? How mean of him. Well, question number…four! Why are you going to Central City?"
"That's where Vector told me to go. He said that some friends saw him at the casino? I think that's what he said." Storm tried to remember exactly what Vector told him.
"The casino? Babylon Casino? He's probably there. That's the only casino in Central City." Amy explained since she has been there many of times.
"Babylon Casino?"
"Yeah. Funny how it has Babylon just like your groups name." Amy started to exit the high way into a little town. Storm looked around, wondering why they were going this way. Amy looked back and noticed the confused bird.
"I'm doing a detour, er…more of a short cut. It takes away about 10 minutes of driving time compared to the highway. Plus, it sure is cute to look at better than emptiness." Amy looked around. There were people sweeping their doorsteps, little kids playing tag, store owners cleaning their windows, and lazy cats sleeping on roofs. The view seemed very peaceful, it relaxed Storm from the troubles of his journey. The ride was fairly okay. They had small talk of what happened while Storm was with the Chaotix, why the heck Storm had the cute little flower and why Amy herself was going to Central City.
"They have the best malls there. So much variety compared to the stores in Central Square. Plus, I may even visit Rouge. She owns the Babylon Casino, ya know?" Amy said as she started to move to a song. Storm put that in his memory box, he has to remember that for later. They drove for about 15 more minutes until the highway emerged with a freeway and even more cars were seen. Storm looked ahead; there in the distance were some buildings. To the far right, was the beach, or what it smelled like one. Both Amy and Storm breathed in the salty air, the sound of seagulls in the sky.
"Ah. The beach. How could I forget that detail? It's really pretty. When you find your boss, maybe you can just relax there. Hmm…perhaps not. People will recognize you." Amy said, that's when she remembered the radio report.
"Oh my gosh! If people see you, they will call the police." Amy looked around; all she saw was little kids looking at Storm and drivers with their eyes on the road. Amy then quickly looked at the seat next to her where her bag was in. She reached into it and grabbed something. When she thought she had the correct items, she threw them to Storm, not taking her eyes off the road.
"Put these on. I don't want to get in trouble when I'm about to go shopping." Amy said as she averted her eyes from others. Storm looked at what Amy gave him. A pink scarf, big, dark sunglasses, and a sparkly belt. He looked at her and then started to put the items on. He didn't mind, he remembered about a day when Jet made him wear a dress and Wave a suit as disguises. After a while, Amy looked back to see how Storm looked. Storm had the scarf on top of his head, the sunglasses on and even the belt; thank Mobius that it was a stretchy belt.
"You look good!" She told him, giving him a thumbs up. He gave her a wearily smile, feeling a bit awkward. The drive was a bit silent, some few comments here and there, but it was safe at least. They finally got to the bustling city, when something popped into Amy's head.
"Where are you going to stay?" She asked Stormine as she looked around for street names. Stormine looked at her, that was a good question. They both thought about it.
"Wait! I know!" Amy said as she did a quick U-turn, making Stormine grabbed her…er, his seat for balance. The drive was silent because of the confusion Storm had and the extreme driving of the pink hedgehog. The car came to a sudden stop at a quiet neighborhood where nobody was around. As Storm was taking in the peacefulness, Amy violently and repeatedly honked the car. Beep! Beep! Beep! BeepBeep!BeepBeepBeep! Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Beeeeeeeeeee- A door opened dramatically, causing Amy to stop honking.
"What do you want, Amy?"
{Oh~ Who could it be that Amy disturbed? Lol. Stereotypical: females are bad drivers! Sorry to all females out there that are offended. I was getting lazy at the middle, if you haven't noticed, so sorry for some lame writing. I'm taking the city and most of the description off of Sonic Battle, since the beach, Central City and Babylon Casino are in it. If I got some things wrong, I'm sorry. I haven't played that game for a while now. The asterisk was for Steal city…I just made that up. I didn't know what to put as the city that the Chaotix was in. Tee hee, Stormine. My friend Christine was texting me while I was writing this so Stormine came naturally. Storm is a tranny! lol I think that's it…So please Review! }
