Disclaimer: I wish I owned them but I don't.
Geez, this story is giving me a head ache. I'm making things more complicated than there suppose to be. It gets frustrating. But I'm still having fun and I'm still getting reviews so I'm still going to write.
"I'm going to kidnap Rouge." Shadow said.
Back at the hotel around night time Sonic was watching Dr. Phil while his brothers were trying to go to sleep.
"Sonic try and get some sleep." Tails suggested.
"Did you know over 1 billon adults are overweight? And 300 million of them are obese?"(True Fact!)
"For the love of Pete Sonic!" Manic growled.
"Who's Pete?" Sonic looked at his annoyed brother.
Manic got up and pushed Sonic back on the bed and then put the covers over him.
"Now shut up and go to sleep." He snatched the remote from him, set it on the TV and laid back down on his sleeping bag. Since there were only two beds, Manic allowed Tails and Sonic to have one while he volunteered to be on the floor.
Sonic was very tired but unable to sleep, so he just stared at the ceiling. He was like that for most of the night until suddenly his eyes closed.
"Why are you doing this?" he whispered to himself before falling fast asleep. If he listened a bit longer he would've heard Shadows voice come through the walkie talkie...
"Because its fun."
Morning time came sooner than expected or wanted. There was no real need for an alarm clock, Shadow woke them up.
"Wake up superman; it's time for the next clue."
Immediately Sonic jumped up, it wasn't too hard, as Sonic barely got any zzzz that night. He then proceeded to shake the living daylights out of his brothers.
"Get up, get up! Time for the next clue!"
Manic rolled over still asleep unlike Tails, who woke up instantly disturbed and confused.
"What?" Tails was dizzy "Stop shaking me."
Sonic let him go. "The next clue! Its time."
He grabbed Manic.
"But it's five am." Tails said.
"Obviously he doesn't care." Sonic shook the fire out of Manic again but he still was asleep.
"Try water that usually—" Sonic quickly filled a bucket with water and poured it over Manic's face.
"Does the trick." Tails finished his sentence "Where'd you get that bucket?"
"Who, what, when, where, why?"
Sonic slapped him extremely hard.
"Hey!" Manic yelped in pain.
"Amy, fool, Amy! The next clue!" He began to shake Manic again.
"Alright! I'm up!"
"And here's Donald Webb with the story…….Thanks Tiff"
They all look towards the tv at the news.
"Here at the hospital there was an escape yesterday, by a Sonic the hedgehog. Many of you might know him, as he is the QB for our favorite team, the Mobi Knights. He is a blue hedgehog, green eyes, extremely fast and cocky." They showed a picture of him in his uniform "He escaped around two. At this pint he is considered to be unstable; if you see him do not engage, call 911 immediately. This is Donald Webb here at news 10, back to you Tiffany."
Sonic threw a vase at the tv and both objects broke.
"What would make them say I'm unstable?!"
"I don't know." Tails backed up slowly.
"I'm not paying for that." Manic made it clear.
"Tick Tock, Mr. Unstable, tick tock." The walkie talkie said.
"Okay, where do we go?
"The locker room."
"It looks like we might need Knuckles." Manic said "Give me your phone."
Sonic threw him his phone off the bed and Manic called. Tails began to change clothes and Sonic went to the bathroom and did the same. While they were at the dorm they grabbed a couple of his outfits. When Sonic was done he came out and his brothers were ready.
"He says he'll meet us there." Manic put on his jacket.
"Alright then let's go." Sonic was already out the door.
They got in Manics car and were there in about fifteen minutes. They met Knuckles and Rouge near the entrance.
"Hey Knux-man, bat girl, wassup?" Manic punched Knuckles arm and patted Rouge's back.
"My temper." Knuckles growled "Why the heck are we here at five thirty in the morning?"
"If we tried to figure it out well be here all week." Rouge mumbled "If it wasn't Amy I'd still be in my bed because I need my beauty sleep."
"Yeah, you do." Sonic said.
"I see our loving, annoying blue hedgerat friend is returning to his regular cocky, immature self." Rouge said with a fake smile.
"Can we get this over with?" Knuckles said walking inside the locker room.
They followed him inside and when they were there Sonic took out the walkie Talkie.
"This is how I imagined it looked……..and smelled." Rouge held her nose.
"Alright whoever-you-are, were here."
"Good." He paused "There's going to be a little change in the plans."
"Like?"
"Like…...instead of giving you a clue I'm going to give you something more valuable."
"…………"
"Something like your memory."
"What are you talking about?" Sonic said.
"Don't you remember this room? How could you forget?"
They all gathered in closer to the walkie talkie except for Rouge who instead saw something shiny in the corner of her eye and decided to take a look. She went back out the entrance.
"What happened in here? I already know I play football."
"Of course. It was right after your last game did it happened."
"When what happened? Don't toy around with me."
"You hurt Amy so bad she almost called me……almost."
His voice seemed so close yet so far.
"Quit struggling. Chaos control!"
"What?" Sonic was confused.
There was silence for a while until finally they heard his voice again.
"Sally."
Sonic had a flashback of that moment. Then he realized he had a shocked look on his face and that's because he was. Knuckles noticed Rouge was gone and took a look around.
"I can't believe I would do something like that." Sonic thought aloud.
"I can." The walkie talkie said.
"Like what?" Manic asked.
"It's alright Sonic, it doesn't matter what he says. He's trying to discourage you." Tails added.
Knuckles came back in "Hey, Rouge is gone."
"So? She probably went back to her dorm. Call her." Manic shrugged.
"Good idea." Knuckles took out his phone and called her.
He waited patiently and then heard ringing. It was so close…..almost as if it was in the room. It was. They listened closely and heard it coming from……the walkie talkie? Yeah. Suddenly it hit Knuckles like a sack of bricks and he snatched the walkie talkie from Sonic.
"You. Are. Dead."
"You. Are. Dead." Shadow mocked him.
"You think this is funny? You're going to be laughing all the way to your grave."
"It doesn't feel good, does it? But I bet you'll be in your grave before me."
"Well see about that." He grumbled and left angrily.
Sonic picked up the walkie talkie and spoke into it.
"Do you know where Rouge is?" Unaware Sonic asked.
"Hmph. Talk to you later, superman." Shadow said.
Yes, short, I know. I just needed to Shadow to get Rouge quick. It may also seem rushed……….that's because it is. I had no choice because my mom is starting to put time limits on the computer for me. Moms……you can't live with them, can't live without them. So expect much better next chapter. Thanks for reviewing and reading. -AquaRaven
