Soni's Pov
I gasped for breath as I crashed on the soft green grasses, Kay and Knuckles were a few yards away from me. Both of us completely worn from her chasing me, Tammy and Tails both were laughing at the sight of us. Sonic came and sat next to me shaking his head, I sat up for a moment, flashed him a thumbs up and collapsed back on the grass. Earning even more laughter from him.
"So…where should we head next? Or what should we look for first?" I asked looking up at the swaying trees, everyone was silent then Tammy broke the silence.
"I think we should start looking for the Serenity Crystals." Tammy said sitting up, Knuckles shot up his fists clenched.
"What! No! We need to keep looking for the Chaos Emeralds!" He growled as he began to pace back and forth, Sonic sighed shaking his head.
"Knuckles, we can't just let them handle this on their own." Sonic said glaring at him, I stood up my hands on my hips.
"Excuse me, what's that supposed to mean?" I asked getting agitated.
"We can handle this on our own. It would be great if you helped but that's your decision." Sonic looked up at me shocked, he sighed then stood up.
"What I mean is that you and the other don't have the experience that me and guys have-"
"So? In the beginning neither did you or Knuckles or Tails. We can handle this." I said as frustration began to set in, Sonic looked at me his face set. This wasn't going well.
"You're can't do this alone, Soni." He said as our eyes met, I turned to the girls behind me.
"I know that. But I'm not alone, I've got Tina, Kay and Amery. That's not the real reason why you don't want us to do this, right?" I said looking to Sonic then to Knuckles, Sonic glanced at the ground sheepishly. I turned back around to the girls, when realization hit me. I whirled on my heel, pure fury raging through me.
" You don't want us to do this because we're girls!" I snarled, Sonic jumped at my outburst.
"So you finally noticed?" Knuckles growled as he walked closer to me, in a minute we were face to face just inches apart.
"Watch it, echidna!" I snarled as I was pulled back by Kay, then she did something that shocked everyone. Kay pulled back her fist and actually hit Knuckles, I yanked her back. But I noticed the fury written in her face, I understood what she felt. She turned back to Knuckles her hands on her hips as Knuckles tried to figure out what just happened. I sighed realizing that it was happening again, just like before. Where everyone wanted to split up.
"I thought you were better than that! Seriously just because we're girls!" Kay growled barely keeping herself from tackling him. Knuckles got up wiping his mouth as he glared at Kay.
"Girls shouldn't be fighting, you need to leave this to us." He said then ducked as Kay let loose again, Sonic's hand rested on my shoulder. I pulled away from him, still angry.
" Come on Soni! We don't mean it like that, it's just when ever girls get involved-"
"You have to rescue them. Well excuse me, but we're not a bunch of Amy's-"
"Hey!" Amy shouted her hands on her hips as she ran over to us.
"Sonic doesn't always rescue me! In fact I rescued him from prison island, for your information." She said haughtily, I rolled my eyes.
"That doesn't even count. Sonic could have escaped anytime he wanted but he stayed to think things over." I said sighing, Amy instantly pulled out her hammer and was about to take a swing at me but Sonic stopped her at the last moment.
"I don't need you to save me or the girls. And you don't have to worry about us either, we're leaving." I said as I began to walk away from Sonic and the other, soon enough I heard the sound of two people behind me. I looked at them, I could easily see the hurt in their eyes and I was sure they could see mine.
"Wait! Wait for me!" Amery shouted as he ran to catch up with us, panting he came to a stop in front of me.
"I don't want to stay with them! They're wrong, you can too fight just as well as they can!" He said breathless, I smiled knowing I could count on him.
"Thanks Amery. Come on Team, lets head out." I said as we began to walk in one direction, I motioned for Kay to pass me one of the bag so I could help carry things. We started to walk over a huge hill, as Kay, Tammy and Amery started walking downwards I looked back. Sonic looked up at me returning my gaze, both of us knew this was goodbye…for now. I blinked back tears then ran to catch up to the girls, we could show them that girls can fight.
We walked in silence for an hour or so, everyone shocked that we split. I was mainly shocked with myself, last time I was trying to keep everyone from splitting up now I'm the one who split us up. We reached an other town a few hours later, we all sat down on a park bench exhausted. The cool breeze sifted through my hair as I closed my eyes, I bit back a moan of exhaustion and sat back up as I looked into the backpack to see how much money we had left. It was practically empty, meaning no money for a hotel for a night or food. I looked up at the park trees, then turned to the girls.
"How good at you are climbing…"
That Morning
"Aaahh!" I was started awake by a shout, I grimaced as I sat up my whole body sore. Looking around myself I realized where I was, we were in a huge leafy oak tree in the city's park. I glanced down to see Kay on the ground rubbing her head, I laughed a little then jumped down the join her. I held out my hand to help her up, taking it she got back up then pointed behind us. Seven soldiers were surrounding us with guns pointed at us, I growled. Can't we ever wake up and not find ourselves in danger?
" Sonishia Humphrey you're under arrest, for breaking and entering into the Catalina Science Museum. If you come peacefully then we won't have to take drastic actions." One of them barked at us, I groaned as Kay snickered.
"Sonishia Humphrey?" She laughed, I felt myself turn bright red, I muttered yeah, yeah. I could hear the sound of Tammy waking up, I glanced at the tree as the soldiers stepped forward.
"Hey, Hey! Hold up a minute! I haven't even been near any museums!" I shouted as they moved in closer, Kay and I backed into the tree. I glanced at her then up the tree, understanding what I meant. She crouched down taking my hand, she jumped up as I pushed her foot up sending her flying into the tree.
"Hey! Get down!" One of the soldiers shouted as he started to run towards us, I smirked then ran past them in a split second and over to their car.
"I'm over here!" I shouted trying to distract them, I could hear them muttering curses under their breath. I grinned then ran to the other side of the park. Yawning I sat on a park bench
"I'm over heeeree! You guys are too slow!" I laughed crossing my legs, as I watched them start to run towards me again as Tina flew out of the tree with Kay gliding behind her. They flew past a few buildings then ducked behind a water tank, I smirked then jumped up.
"Since you guys are taking too long then I'm outta here!" I said then zoomed past them, leaving them stunned. I rounded a few different corners then jumped on the building Tina and Kay were at.
"What's shaking?" I asked grinning enjoying the last bit of adrenaline. Tammy laughed as she glanced back at the soldiers who were running around the park trying to find me.
"That was awesome! I think we've lost them-" Tammy said excitedly but was cut off by the sound of a helicopter engine. I groaned shaking my head, then looked to Kay
"Kay, you and Tammy get outta here. I'm going to lead them somewhere else for a while, lets meet at the entrance of the next town. K, Kay?" I laughed then shook my head at Tine grinned at my corny joke. Kay shoved me on the shoulder then took off with Tammy in tow.
"Put your hands where I can see them!" The pilot shouted from the helicopter, I laughed then waved at them. Then a second later I was on the highway, with them on my tail. I heard the sound of pings around me then I yelped at something nipped my legs. I glanced for a second to see a little bit of blood, bullets. They were actually shooting at me! I sighed shaking my head, I jumped to the side as another nearly hit me, again. I rolled off to the side again as they relentlessly fired at me. Then it became instinct to dodge, I started to run again and was soon swerving on the highway narrowly dodging bullets and cars. I caught up to a red SUV, grinning I waved at a kid sitting in the backseat of the car. Her eyes got huge as she waved back, a smile washing over her face. I winked back then sped up as they started to catch up to me.
"Momma! Momma! There was a girl on the road and! And! She was being chased by! By! A helicopter!" The girl said quickly to her mother, her mother just rolled her eyes and continued to drive forward. I laughed as I soon left them behind, I zoomed off to the side again ducking under some unruly bushes. I waited till I heard them leaving in the distance. Sitting there I thought about what the soldier had said…Breaking and entering into a museum? Seriously? I shook my head know fully well that it was Shadria. But what did she take? I got up then began to run towards town to meet up with the girls.
Fifteen minutes later….
I yawned as I leaned up against the entrance sign of the city, Tammy, Kay and Amery still hadn't gotten there yet. I tapped my foot as I glanced around then.
"Finally!" I said when I finally saw them in the distance, I ran up to them. I felt a little bad for them, I mean they were filthy and covered in sweat and we were on the run from the police. I sighed as I pulled out the wallet that held the money, there was just enough for it but….
"What are we doing here!" Kay hissed at me as we walked into a recreation center. I winked at her then walked up to the front desk smiling.
"Hello what can I do for you?" The woman behind the counter asked politely.
"My friends and I going to go swimming for bit, how much will that be?" I asked as I dug out the money wallet, after giving me the total of twenty dollars we started to the bathroom.
"Hey! I can't go in there!" Amery said stopping at the door, I had forgotten about Amery. I pulled out a bottle of soap and a cheap dollar store towel and handed it to him.
"You can go to the guys restroom, okay? " I said he nodded as he took the items.
"Soni, we don't have bathing suits. Why did you bring us here?" Tammy asked as she looked around the girls restroom, I smiled then started to pull out the shampoo bottles and towels out of the backpack.
"I just thought you guys might want to shower, its been days since we last had one. But if you don't want to-" I said but was cut of by Tammy as she gave me a big hug.
"Thank you!" She said as she started to kick off her shoes, I laughed then sat down.
"We wasted money on towels, shampoo, and an entrance fee just to take a shower?" Kay growled at me, I shrugged at her. She sat down next to me shaking her head and mumbling as she started to take off her ragged shoes too. Maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to pay all that money for a shower but I was glad I did, the cool water was a dirty brown as it went down the drain. I reached out and grabbed a towel to dry myself off, I walked out with the towel wrapped tightly around me. Tammy was just barely getting out as well, thankfully we still had one more pair of clean clothes left. I slipped into a pair of faded blue denim and a royal blue T-shirt as Tammy wore white kakis and a bright yellow shirt. I turned to Kay as she walked out, I smirked at her
"Who knew Kay was a shade lighter?" I laughed, she rolled her eyes as she began to change. Tammy was trying to dry her hair in front of the mirror but it didn't looked like it wasn't getting any drier.
"Here let me help." I said lightly taking the towel away from her and I took her brown hair in one hand with the towel in the other and set to drying her hair.
"Thank you, Soni." She said softly as she looked down, she looked sad for a moment.
"What is it, Tammy? You can tell me anything, you know." I said as stopped what I was doing and looked at her. There were tears in her eyes
" I just wish I had a sister like you." She said, I smiled then wrapped her in a hug.
"Well, from now on I'm going to be your sister. Kay is going to be your sister too even if she doesn't want to admit it." I said she hugged me tightly, I stood up and finished drying her hair.
"Want me to brush it out or can you do it yourself?" I asked she said she could do it herself. Kay walked up to the mirror to dry her dark scarlet hair, she was wearing tan pants with a blood red T-shirt on too.
"Need any help?" I asked her looked at me like I was crazy then shook her head. I went to borrow the brush from Tammy, a few minutes later we were all ready. Amery was waiting in the hall, he stared at me like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time.
"You look beautiful Soni!" He said as he gave me a hug, his blond hair was flopping in his face, he was wearing a bright red shirt and white pants.
"Okay Amery!" I said tugging him off of me, he grinned then looked at the girls saying they looked nice too. I had to admit the girls looked a lot better, who knew a shower could change someone's appearance so much? I waved at the lady behind the counter as we walked out, soon enough the evening came. We had chili dogs in our hands as we walked down the street, it was practically empty except for the occasional person here and there.
"Ummm…Soni?" Tammy said shyly, I turned to her.
"What's up?"
"Umm…Well I'm still hungry. Can I go back and get two more chili dogs? One for me and one for you?" She asked sheepishly, I laughed a little then opened the wallet there was only seventy-five dollars. I grimaced, She saw me grimace then said she wasn't that hungry. I shook my head and sent her back with Kay to get one more for everyone, Amery and I walked down the street slowly as we looked at all the shops.
" Sonishia Humphrey put your hands where I can see them! You're under arrest." I heard the sound of helicopters and soon enough there was a spot light on me and Amery. I groaned then grabbed Amery's arm and jumped to the side as a robot dropped down a few feet from where we were standing.
"Great…" I muttered, Amery ran to the other side of the street. I clenched my fists then ran full speed at the robot, I jumped into a spin dash and crashed right through the robot instantly destroying it.
"Too easy! Eggman's machines are harder to beat!" I laughed then I felt my blood turn cold.
"Well, well faker. Are you enjoying all the attention?" Shadria's said. She was standing on top of the remains of the government robot, her ebony crimson stained hair whipping her face. Emerald against scarlet eyes. This wasn't going to end well…...
