(A/N): I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL!
"Fuck! Crap! Damn it!" Brice said as he tried to get past the greenery that surrounded him. Suddenly he fell off a cliff and hit the sand hard. He groaned in pain as he got up on his feet and then he hit a palm tree. "SHIT!" He yelled rubbing his forehead. He stumbled forward and landed on sand. He looked up to see he was on a beautiful beach. He heard some people around him speaking Spanish. He quickly got on his feet and ran over to the first person he saw, which happened to be a little girl. She ran over to her pre-teen looking brother who stuck his small, dark-skinned chest out. He started to yell stuff in Spanish as Brice sighed.
"Donde…um…Donde…God…Donde…Donde…Donde estoy! Donde estoy?" Brice yelled as he remembered his high school Spanish.
"Republica Dominicana…" The little boy said confused as he stared at the hedgehog.
"Gracias!" Brice said as he ran off the beach. 'Dominican Republic. Ok, I just need to find some change and a pay phone or someone who speaks English.' He thought as he got onto the sidewalk. He trashed his phone after he watched the video message Mason sent him. He was pissed with this whole thing. He had finals for fuck's sakes! He needs to graduate! Stupid Mason. Stupid Avengers. Stupid heat. Stupid Stephan. WAIT! Brice did a double take to see Stephan walking towards the beach.
"YO! Stephan!" Brice yelled as Stephan turned his head in confusion. His eyes widened to see Brice's giant form running towards him. He covered his head as Brice slowed down to look at him confused. "Dude…?" Brice said.
"Sorry. Reflex. I was kind of a nerd in high school." Stephan said chuckling nervously.
"Mason lied! We're not all in different countries. He must have said that to toy with us." Brice said as he clenched his fists angrily.
"Of course. This is all just a game to him. He doesn't care that our lives are at stake." Stephan said.
"Well…I have great survival skills. It came with being the son of Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat." Brice said cockily.
"I know. I have great skills too, but still our lives could be at stake." Stephan said as Brice shrugged his shoulders.
"I was looking for a phone. Or some change. Or an English speaker." Brice said as they started to walk off the beach.
"Well…one out of three isn't bad." Stephan said as Brice grumbled. Julian was walking the streets of Italy trying to flag down an English speaker who wasn't a tourist. He sighed in frustration as he sat down in front of the Trevi Fountain.
"Does anyone speak English?" He yelled throwing his arms up in the air as many people looked at him confused.
"I do." A voice said as Julian stood up, hope gleaming in his eyes. He frowned when he saw Rafael.
"Great…it's you." Julian said as Rafael scowled.
"Nice to see you too." Rafael said sarcastically as Julian glared at him.
"How the hell are you here?" Julian asked as Rafael crossed his arms.
"How am I supposed to know? I was dumped here, unconscious and woke up to see this," Rafael said pointing to a power-restraint bracelet on his wrist. "On me and no phone access with Mason's douche-y face on it." Rafael said as Julian rolled his eyes.
"Wow, you're great help." Julian said sarcastically as Rafael glared at him. They walked around in tense silence looking for something that can help them. "A pay phone!" Julian exclaimed as he ran toward it.
"Great…do you have any change?" Rafael asked as Julian fished around his pockets before groaning.
"No, you?" Julian asked as Rafael pulled out his empty pockets and shook his head. "Again, great help." He said as he hung up the phone. Rafael scowled as he followed the older hedgehog.
"Aiden! Aiden! Wake up!" Nessa said shaking her brother's shoulders.
"Here let me try." Luca said gently pushing her away. He stuck his finger in his mouth and stuck it in his ear as Aiden woke up and cringed. "WAKE UP!" Luca yelled in his ear as Aiden sat up.
"Ew! That wasn't necessary." Aiden said cleaning out his ear with his good hand as Luca smirked. "Uh…where are we?" Aiden asked looking around the city area. They were all on top of a building.
"I don't know. Mason separated all of us and we have no phone access. We're in some foreign country." Nessa said as Aiden growled.
"Stupid Mason. He always has to mess with dad and the others." Aiden said as he got onto his feet.
"And we always get dragged into it." Luca said as they stood at the edge of the building.
"Well, let's go." Aiden said as he was going to jump, but Nessa stopped him.
"Do you want to kill yourself?" Nessa exclaimed as Aiden rolled his eyes.
"There's another building below this one. We can make it." Aiden said as Nessa looked down hesitantly.
"C'mon Ness, it isn't that bad. Just watch." Luca said as he jumped down to the other building with ease. Nessa grabbed Aiden's hand as he smiled at her. They both jumped and landed on the building safely.
"See, not so bad." Aiden said as Nessa smiled softly. "Ok, now we need to make it to the ground." Aiden said as he looked down to the ground. It was at least four-stories down.
"No way! One-story was enough!" Nessa said as she stepped away from the ledge.
"I kind of agree with her on this one. There's no way we can make this one." Luca said looking down.
"Yeah I guess…" Aiden said with a shrug of his shoulders. He walked away from the ledge before whipping around and running of the ledge.
"Aiden!" Nessa screamed as Luca looked at him in fear. Aiden could see the ground under him and prepared his legs. Suddenly he was pushed to the side and was tumbling down with a bigger body on top of him.
"Are you crazy, kid?" Goldeye said as he panted and got off of Aiden.
"I made it still." Aiden said as Goldeye rolled his eyes.
"Jump down." Goldeye said up to Nessa and Luca. Luca jumped down and Goldeye caught him and let him down. He did the same for Nessa. Goldeye turned around to see all the shorter kids. "Great…I'm baby-sitting." Goldeye muttered as Aiden looked at him offended.
"Hey! I can take care of myself fine!" Aiden said.
"Coming from the guy who just jumped off a four-story building and not knowing what to do." Nessa said as her brother glared at her.
"Do you know where we are?" Luca asked as they started to walk down the sidewalk.
"Australia." Goldeye said as they reached a dock facing the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
"At least we're somewhere with people who speak English." Aiden said as Goldeye started to walk down the dock. "Where are you going?" Aiden asked the kids rushed to catch up to his pace.
"To find some sort of phone or a way back home." Goldeye said in his usual monotone. The kids just follow him without a word being spoken.
"Ok…damn hicks would put me somewhere where they don't speak Spanish." Wilmer said as he looked around the giant city of Mumbai. He grumbled as he moved passed all the Indian people. They were all speaking some Indian language Wilmer didn't know and he was trying to find some source of English or Spanish.
"Wilmer?" Someone said confused as Wilmer stopped and raised his eyebrow. He turned his head to see Serenity looking at him confused.
"Serenity!" Wilmer exclaimed as he glomped her. "Thank God, I found someone." He said as Serenity patted his back awkwardly. "I can't understand anyone here! They're all speaking Indian or something." Wilmer said pulling away from her.
"First of all they're speaking Hindu and secondly, of course you can't understand them!" Serenity said as Wilmer pouted. "C'mon we have to find a telephone or something that can help us." Serenity said as they walked through the city. Back at New York Alana was knocking on Derek's and Ginger's door. Ginger answered the door with little Elizabeth in her arms.
"I think something happened to the group." Alana said as she had her hand over the small bump on her stomach.
"I knew it." Derek said from behind Ginger. Ginger let Alana in as they sat in the living room. "What happened?" Derek asked as he paced in front of them.
"Well…I knew they were going to a karaoke night and I didn't go because I had to study for a final I had and Rafael went because he wanted to become closer with the group. I woke up today and didn't see him anywhere. I didn't see Emma or Goldeye. I tried calling their phones, but they were all out of service. And so was Lauren's and Chrissy's. I checked everybody's apartments and they weren't there. I only hoped you guys were here." Alana said as she retold her story. Derek whipped out his cell phone and pushed speed-dial three.
"This number is no longer in service-"Derek frowned as he hung up his phone.
"Lazarus' is out of service too." Derek said as Ginger pulled out her phone giving Elizabeth to Alana.
"This number is no longer-"Ginger sighed as she hung up her phone.
"Serenity's is out of service." Ginger said sadly. Derek grumbled in frustration as he walked into his room and pulled out his laptop. He sat on the kitchen counter as Ginger stood up from the couch and walked over to him.
"What are you doing?" Alana asked standing up with Elizabeth in her arms before putting her in her bassinet.
"My parents put a locater on Lilac, Pamilyn, and myself when we were younger." Derek said as both Ginger and Alana looked at him confused. "My parents are little over-protective. They were like that ever since Cat got kidnapped." Derek said as he typed a webcam of James popped up on his screen.
"What's wrong?" He asked noticing all the distressed looks on their faces.
"Something happen with the rest of the group. Can you active Lilac's locater?" Derek said as James nodded and typed something on his computer.
"Why is she in France?" James asked confused.
"Thanks Dad." Derek said closing his webcam and shutting off his computer. Alana starting to head for the door as Derek and Ginger looked at her confused.
"Where are you going?" Ginger asked.
"My brother. He can get us there free of charge and help us locate the others." She said walking out of the apartment. Lauren grumbled as she sat on a green hill.
"You know, someone will find us." Henry said sitting next to her.
"Who? We're on some hill in the middle of Ireland!" Lauren exclaimed as Henry looked down sadly. "I'm sorry…I'm just little frustrated." Lauren said as she stood up. "C'mon let's get to walking." Lauren said as Henry followed her down the hill.
"Hey, wait." Henry said as he held Lauren back. "I think I see Ebony!" Henry exclaimed as he took off running. Lauren ran behind him as they ran towards the pink hedgehog.
"You're here too?" Ebony exclaimed as Henry rested his hands on his knees to catch his breath.
"Yeah! Mason obviously lied." Henry said as Lauren sighed.
"Can we go now? I'm trying to get home here." Lauren said as Ebony glared at her.
"Jeez…would you relax? There could be more of us here and you're willing to just leave them behind?" Ebony said as Lauren rolled her eyes.
"If they were I would be able to pick up there thought patterns." Lauren said tapping her temple.
"You obviously didn't hear mine." Ebony said as Lauren smirked.
"I guess I just got use to tuning your voice out. It can be so harsh sometimes." Lauren said as Ebony whipped out her hammers.
"I'll show you something harsh mind-freak!" Ebony said as Lauren got in a fighting stance and took the water out of the grass around her.
"Bring it Pinky!" Lauren said as Henry stood between them.
"WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Ladies! We're all a little tense and irrational because of this situation let's not take it out on each other." Henry said standing with his hands reading to hold off the girls. Ebony huffed and put her hammers back as Lauren dropped the water on the ground.
"He's right." Nick said appearing by Lauren's side.
"You! Stay out of this!" Lauren said as Nick put up his hands innocently. Ebony cracked a smile as did Lauren. "Let's just go." Lauren said as they all started to walk off.
"Um…do you know any French?" Lilac asked as Donovan scratched his head.
"Uh…no. I took Spanish in high school." Donovan said as they both stared up at the Eiffel Tower.
"Well…maybe we can find a tourist who could speak English." Lilac said as Donovan nodded. They started to walk away when Donovan stopped and whipped around. "TYLER!" Donovan yelled as the rabbit whipped around.
"Dude!" Tyler exclaimed as he ran over to Lilac and Donovan. Lilac hugged Tyler as Donovan patted him on the back.
"I stopped by this tourist shop and picked up this map. The man tells me an Inn is in the country and accepts 'travelers'. If we're here long enough at least we'll have a place to stay." Tyler said as the trio looked over the map.
"Great. Let's head to it!" Donovan said as Lilac looked up at the giant tower.
"You know, under different circumstances. This would be a great vacation." Lilac said as someone put their hand around her shoulders.
"Yeah it would…if we weren't sent here by force with no money and phones." Shawn said as Flash stood on the other side of him. Lilac hugged both of them as the guys greeted them.
"I'm pretty sure this will be all of us. There's no way he'd put all fifty plus of us in one country." Tyler said as the group nodded.
"Can we please go to the Inn? I'm a little exhausted from dropping through a hole and being knocked unconscious by some crazy psychopath." Donovan said as they all laughed and headed out of the city.
"God! How hard is it to find a fucking tourist in Rome?" Julian exclaimed punching the table he, Rafael, and Kim were sitting at. They found Kim by the Coliseum.
"Will you calm down? I'm sure there's some tourist shop around here." Rafael said as Julian glared at him.
"Then find one, pretty boy!" Julian exclaimed as he stood up from his seat.
"What the hell is your problem? Ever since we got her, no, ever since I've met you you've been nothing, but a pertinacious, rude asshole!" Rafael yelled as he got out of his seat. Kim was thankful that there was only another group around them and they took off as soon as Rafael stood up.
"You want to know my problem? You drove away one of my best friends! You had his girlfriend break up with him and break his heart! I don't know where the hell he is and it's all because of you!" Julian yelled as Rafael glared at him.
"This wasn't my fucking choice! It's all because of this!" He said holding up his stone. "Believe me, if I had the option of choosing someone to being fated to I would have picked someone single!" Rafael said as Julian scoffed.
"Puh-lease! You enjoyed messing around with Renegade! You did it for the fun of the game!" Julian yelled as they moved away from the table.
"That's how I work, ok? I would have done it to anyone! Even if it was Jesus himself! I'm in love with Alana and I would have done anything for her." Rafael said as Julian punched him in the jaw. Rafael caught his other fist and punched him in the face. Julian stumbled back, but quickly got his balance as his eyes started to glow. Kim touched both of them as they fell to the ground in pain.
"Both of you fuckers need to relax!" Kim yelled as they panted on the ground. "Julian get over your stupid problems with Rafael. We've been through this situation a thousand times!" Kim yelled as Julian scowled. "Rafael stop trying to explain yourself. You did what you did." Kim said as Rafael glared at Julian. "Now, are we going to be nice to each other or will I have to knock you two unconscious?" Kim asked lowering her arms. Rafael and Julian both grumbled a positive answer as they stood up. "Good, now let's look for a tourist shop." Kim said as the two guys followed her silently.
Alana walked through an airship base as soldiers looked at her confused. She walked past them shyly as she entered an office. A dark blue hedgehog was sitting behind as desk when his navy eyes met Alana's.
"Hey sis, what are you doing here?" Alana's brother asked as Alana closed the door behind her.
"I need your help, Elliott." Alana said as she stood in front of his desk. He dropped the paper in his hands and folded them in front of him.
"Wha…" He trailed off when he noticed the slight roundness of her belly. He stood up from his desk as Alana shielded her stomach with her arms. "Are you pregnant?" He asked quietly as he stared at his younger sister.
"…yes." She said quietly as Elliott threw his arms in the air before putting them on his hips.
"How could you do this to yourself, Alana?" Elliott asked as he turned to face his sister.
"Elliott…" Alana said quietly looking down.
"Is it because of this Renegade-Rafael shit?" Elliott asked as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Elliott you know I-"Her brother interrupted her.
"No, I don't know! All I hear is Renegade ran away because I fell in love with another guy. Oh, I feel so horrible. Oh, I hate myself for what I did. That's all I hear. Now, you come here and you're pregnant!" He exclaimed.
"Well, at least Rafael's there for me! He doesn't even know if it's his or not, but he's still there for me! He's not going to leave me!" Alana yelled tears flowing down her cheeks. Elliott's eyes soften as his arms drop to his sides.
"You're talking about me, aren't you?" Elliott asked as Alana wiped her tears.
"How could you just leave like that? I know I had Jay and he loves me, but I was just so lost without you." Alana said as she sobbed. Elliott walked over to his sister and hugged her.
"I'm sorry Alana." He said as Alana cried into his chest.
"I know why you left. I understand, but I'm so angry! And hurt and I can't understand why." Alana said as her brother held her.
"I love you Alana. You're the only real family I have. I know I left you with our stepdad, but there wasn't a night that would pass that I didn't think about you. I missed you so much that it would hurt." Elliott said as Alana just cried into his chest. Alana's real dad abandoned her and Elliott when they were little and their mom did too after she married their step-dad. He adopted them and as soon as Elliott turned eighteen he enlisted in the army. Alana was only fifteen when he left.
"I'm sorry, Alana. I'm going to try and help you in everyway I can to make up for when I left you." Elliott said as Alana wiped her tears away. "Now, what did you need help with?" Elliott asked.
"I need to find my friends." She said.
