I'm back, and this time it's serial. The original draft of this was deleted when my PC decided it didn't feel like working the day when I got back, and I had to type this all up again, so I may have missed a few things due to this rage inducing convenience which happens to me regularly.
I've also experienced some depressing personal news recently, which won't be leaving me very cheerful for quite a while, but it shouldn't affect my ability to spread lulz...hopefully.

Savannah Citadel Day – Sonic Unleashed
Escort Saga: Chapter 43 – An S-Ranked Escort Mission
It was a few days after the Fujin Gem disappeared, along with a random pyramid, even though it seemed more like a month than a few days, but obviously don't know what I'm talking about. Sonic and Sonya were somewhere in the middle of Africa, running through a village as Savannah Citadel Day from Sonic Unleashed began playing in the background. After a long while, they passed by a group who were playing the beat on drums.
They ran through the area, evading civilians who walked by and then soon drifted round a corner and down a clear path with grass on both sides. They approached an area with more buildings and hopped over a gap, sidestepped to the left and hit a spring going up, then on the path above they slid under a tight space, then went through a loop before smashing through several Eggman robots in their path ahead of them.
They ran across a long bridge, and then hit three springs in succession before landing on a rail which slid downward like a corkscrew before they smashed through some more robots. And this is where the music stopped, because coming up with stuff for this one is a lot harder than you'd think.
At Team Chaotix's Detective Agency, Espio had his back to a wall as he tried to hit a target on the wall using his ninja powers, while Charmy watched TV as he ate a bowl of sugar. On the screen was SA3 who was driving a buggy down a hill with two robot ninjas chasing him on motorbikes. He jumped out and fired at the two bikes, causing them to explode as a voice exclaimed, "Extreme!"
It then showed SA3 fighting underwater with a boxing shark, and giving the shark an uppercut so extreme it wiped out everything within 30 feet as a voice exclaimed, "Awesome!"
It then showed SA3 driving a pink tricycle in an epic chase scene as he tried to keep up with an ice cream truck which was going at 20 mph with the police hot on their tails, and struggling to keep up with them. As SA3 approached the truck, he leaped onto it, causing the tricycle to crash and explode, hitting the police cars and ultimately causing everything else to explode in the background. A voice then said, "Look out for this Awesome and Extremeshow, Pure Ownage: The Game: The Animated Series, coming to a channel near you. Be there, or be suxxorz."
"That sounds awesome!" Charmy exclaimed before having a mouthful of sugar.
Suddenly, Vector kicked down the door and walked in. "Get off your asses, boys, because we've got work. Also, no more sugar for you, Charmy."
"Why its not like it makes a difference and sugar is good for you and it tastes good and makes me feel good its really good stuff you can't do this I won't let you!"
Vector grabbed the bowl as Charmy finished, then held him back as Charmy tried to take it back. Espio stopped what he was doing and said, "So what's this job about?"
"Well, we have to go meet our client, so we'll know when we get there, and then we'll go for pretzels afterwards."
Charmy pumped his fist in the air. "Pretzels are awesome; they're awesome, right Espio?"
"Sure, why not." Espio said as he followed them out the door.
Twenty minutes later, Team Chaotix arrived in the middle of some woods which seemed somewhat familiar.
"Hey Vector, these woods seem somewhat familiar..." Espio said as they arrived.
"I thought the same thing. Anyway, our client should be meeting us here any minute now."
They then heard a voice from behind a tree ten feet away say, "Hey, over here!" they approached the tree to find none other than Cherry, the ghost girl from the end of the Haunted House Saga. "Hey guys, I bet you didn't expect little ol' me, huh?"
"Don't ghosts die in sunlight?" Charmy asked.
"Why did you call us out here?" Espio asked.
"How much are you willing to pay us?" Vector asked.
Cherry cleared her throat. "Ghosts don't die in sunlight, Charmy, those are vampires. I called you guys out here because I found something special and I need protecting for a while. And I'm willing to pay you 2,500 rings."
"Then you've got a deal." Vector reassured her.
"You don't even know the details yet." Espio replied.
"Who cares? The details aren't important."
"So anyway, guys, I found this recently..." Cherry said before revealing the Fujin Gem she had behind her back. As they gasped, she continued. "This one night two days ago, this car broke down outside my house so the people stayed there, thinking it was abandoned, as most visitors do. I usually get 6 or 7 a month so I'm not that lonely, and I've been dead for around 3 years or so, but I'm a big girl so I'm totally fine."
"Sorry to interrupt, but could you get to the point?" Espio asked.
"Oh right, sorry. Anyway, they mentioned this rare treasure, so I left to go find it. It took a while, but I finally did. But recently there have been a lot of people out to get this gem, like this mean girl who was really strong, and I once saw a whole pack of robots! Back in a temple within my hometown, there's this spiritual magic book, and with it, I could probably transfer my spirit back into my body...or you could use the gem to open up a weird dimensional rift, but most people wouldn't do that. I need you guys to protect me and the gem until we get there."
"This is one of the weirdest jobs we've had so far..." Espio commented.
"Well you can count on us, little lady. Let's get to work, boys. Lead the way, Cherry." Vector said as the four of them walked on ahead.
On the Egg Cruiser, Eggman, Virus, Rose and Lily met in a large room by a large computer as Eggman did his usual laugh. "Oh hohohohoho! Welcome, ladies and gentlemen...and Virus."
"The only gentleman here is you, and it would be weird to address yourself." Virus pointed out.
"I see your point. So, I called you three here today because I discovered something interesting. A ghost has found a rare jewel called the Fujin Gem, and having this jewel of miraculous power could be of use to me, so I want you to find out where the ghost is and retrieve the gem."
Lily raised her hand. "Why hasn't the ghost died from walking around in the sun?"
"Those are vampires, genius." Rose retorted.
"So just how will we find this ghost?" Virus asked.
"That's your problem, as I also have business to attend to." Eggman said before getting in his eggmobile. "By the way, if you happen to see Eggman Nega, tell him to get down here immediately." He said as he left the room.
"Guess we'd better get started. Rose, are you ready?" Virus asked as he turned to her.
"I always am." She said with a nod.
The two then walked to the exit just as they heard Lily say, "So who's this guy?"
Rose spun round and approached her as she looked at the screen. "That is Miles "Tails" Prower, one of Sonic's closest companions. He has a knack for building high tech gadgets and weaponry, and can fly using his two tails. You should ask for more info later."
"Perhaps I will." Lily replied before leaving the room with Virus and Rose.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the area of Adabat, in an unknown location, inside a room was a single large rectangular table with four seats on each side and one seat ahead of them. Many torches lit the room and there was a water container in the corner.
Metared entered the room, with the camera focusing on him from a low angle as he said, "Gentlemen!" He walked over to the table and sat down then took out a clipboard. "Welcome to another annual Metallic Council of Maniacal Evil week meeting...of doom! You already know me as Metared, and we're here for one reason, to take down Sonic the Hedgehog and secure our position in the plot! Now for the robot roll call! Metal Sonic!"
Metal Sonic who was sitting to the right of him, raised his hand and said, "Well it's about damn time."
"Mecha Sonic from Sonic and Knuckles!"
"Right here to help out." He replied as he sat in the chair to Metared's left.
"Tails Doll!"
"The sunshine feels no pain!" said Tails Doll who sat right next to Metal Sonic.
"Metal Knuckles!"
Metal Knuckles sat next to Tails Doll and held up a fist as he said, "I'm looking forward to this."
"Eggrobo!"
Eggrobo sat on the last seat in Metal Sonic's row next to Metal Knuckles; he raised his gun and fired in midair.
"Egg Pawn #37 from Sonic Heroes!"
The Egg Pawn sat next to Mecha Sonic and made a few beeping noises.
"Egg Fighter, also known as ED-MF1999 from Sonic Unleashed."
"With enough teamwork, anything is possible!" He said with a nod.
Metared looked up at the last seat before reading the last name, but then stopped. "Hey, where's that other guy who joined a long while ago?"
"Oh, that guy?" Mecha Sonic said. "Yeah, I forgot his name too. He said he had some business to take care of earlier today, so he wouldn't be able to make it."
"I see, well let's get started." Metared said as he put down the clipboard. "Now, usually we'd spend several minutes constantly bickering at one another, coming up with absurd and stupid ideas, and adding as much filler as possible, but we sadly won't have time for that today."
"Aww..." Metal Knuckles sighed.
"I also am quite disappointed." Tails Doll replied.
Metared continued. "So, rumour has it, this ghost girl has found a rare jewel called the Fujin Gem. This gem could prove quite useful to our plans, so we will find the ghost and steal the gem, and that shall be all for today. This meeting is adjourned."
Back near the haunted house, the four of them had left the woods and were walking along a straight path when they encountered someone standing by the broken down jeep. The person turned around, turning out to be Rouge who wore a grey suit with a red tie, a moustache, a top hat, and wore a grey wig and glasses as she held a cane. "Excuse me, fine fellows. My transport seems to have broken down, so would you mind if I joined you on your journey to wherever you happen to be going?"
"Nice try, Rouge, we know it's you." Vector said with a smirk.
"Rouge? You must be mistaken. My name is Stelin Fings, and I'm honoured to make your acquaintance."
"Isn't that a chaos emerald?" Espio said as he looked right.
"Nice try, but I won't fall for th-"
"Hey look! Two emeralds!" Charmy yelled as he pointed left.
"Where?!?" Rouge quickly turned left and looked around but saw nothing. "Hey! I didn't see any..." She then noticed they were gone. "They sure can move along pretty fast..."
