Ch 9: Road Trip, Again
Road Trip, Again
As the morning siren echoed through the Sanctuary, everyone was groggily getting up. "Why does it have to be so loud?" Tails said as he followed a full awake Sonic toward the mess hall.
"You should be happy. Before, Cyrus accidently made the siren go off so loud that the trees outside fell down. It went for a week before he was able to quiet it down." He said, remembering that he and everyone else partially went deaf and had to wear earplugs and place a pillow over there head as they slept.
"I feel sorry for you and everyone else then, but why do we have to get up at 7 a.m." The duo soon entered the mess hall to find the rest of the freedom fighters except Sonia, Manic, and Rotor were still sleepy. Rotor had his head on top of a plate with three fluffy pancakes stacked on top of each other with a piece of meting butter on top. Sonia and Manic were like their brother as they ate their breakfast.
"Hi, Sonic." Sally said, "Next time, warn us ok."
"Sorry, Sal, but I thought all of you are used to getting up early." The blue hedgehog said, smirking. He and Tails had got their breakfast and sat next to the sleeping walrus. "Yo, Rot, wake up." He nudges him.
"Five more minutes." He groggily said as he turned his head, causing the other side to be sticky from the syrup.
"Wake up." Sonic replied, nudging him harder until the walrus lifted his head. The butter was sticking to the left side of his face.
"Huh, hi Sonic."
"You know that's pancakes and not a pillow, right." Sonic was trying not to laugh as he pointed toward the pancakes. Rotor slowly turned his head and his eyes were full of shock. He soon felt his face to feel it was sticky and had butter on the side.
"Oh, I got to go wash up." Rotor jumped out of his chair and rushed toward one of the washroom. Manic was chuckling at the purple walrus reaction. After Rotor came back, he along with everyone else finished their foods. All the kids ran out and begin running around and playing with each other.
"Well, it's great to see all of you. Come and visit the kids." Cyrus said as he waved at the group as they were heading out. After they stepped out of the underground base, they headed toward their van.
"We should be at the Syrian Desert by noon." Sally said as she checked the map. Everyone nodded and started their vans. Sonic group was the first to head out followed by Sally's and Rotor's group.
Syrian Desert
"Dingo, she is the enemy, repeat, she is the enemy." Sleet said, but Dingo was not paying attention to him. He was dreaming of Sonia, her pink fur blowing in the wind. Her smile made everything that saw her faint. "Hello, Earth to Dingo."
"Huh, oh sorry Sleet. What did you say?"
"Oh, this is going to take a while with your brain."
"Hey, I need my brain." Dingo said, holding his head.
"I'm surprise you have one. You're stupider than a toddler."
"Thank you." Sleet moaned.
"Is all the emeralds collected?" Robotnik said as he walked up to the two canines.
"Yes sir. They are being placed in the Freedom Destroyer 3000 as we speak." Sleet said, as he bowed to the round dictator.
"Good, this should round up all your past failures." He said, he soon left for the base that was just built by his Swatbots.
