New chapter!
I don't own anything. I hope you know that by now.
You know what I'm going to ask. Read, review, and enjoy!
Amy, Blaze, and Rouge stopped walking and saw they were in a bed room with three beds, all three of them wearing pajamas. "Looking at each other, Rouge remarked, "Well, this place is actually quite adorable."
"I know, but what are we supposed to be doing here in our pajamas?" responded Blaze and the other two girls shrugged for a response.
"Oh my gosh! We should totally have a slumber party!" Amy suggested with extreme excitement at the idea.
Blaze agreed, "Sure. That could be a lot of fun."
"Yeah. We can play truth-or-dare, tell stories, do each other's nails, and a whole bunch of other stuff." Continued Amy.
"Huh. Then it's a good thing I have this." Rouge commented. She pulled out a white plastic makeup bag with small red and pink hearts on it and held it up. "Who wants their nails done?"
Holding her left hand as still as possible as Rouge painted perfect white tips on her nails, Amy complimented, "Wow Rouge. These are perfect and the small design is really cute. How'd you get so good?"
"I worked part time in a nail salon. The lady who owned it is the one who got me addicted to shoes," explained Rouge as she finished and closed up the bottle, "and she taught me everything I know about jewels, shoes, and doing nails."
"Well, I'm going to open the window. It's a really nice night." Blaze decided as she got off the bed and went to the window. Opening the window to let some of the fresh night air in, Blaze returned to the bed and sat cross legged on the bed like Amy and Rouge and the three girls looked at each other and exchanged worried looks as they heard the sound of someone climbing up the side of the house. Seeing Shadow crawl in through the window, the three girls chorused, "Shadow!"
"Sorry Girls, but I'm not sticking around for your slumber party," Shadow told them, "I've got better things to do."
Crawling back out the window, Amy, Blaze, and Rouge ran to the window and watched Shadow as he jumped off the side of the house and disappear into the dark street. Looking at the clock, Amy let out a yawn and informed, "Well, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."
"So am I." agreed Blaze.
"Well, I'm not staying up myself." Rouge decided and the three girls crawled into different beds after Rouge turned off the lights and locked the window shut and dozed off to sleep.
A few minutes later, a cobalt hedgehog was floating outside the window and peeked inside to see the sleeping girls and Sonic waved for someone to join him. He was joined by a two tailed fox and Tails tapped the window twice, resulting it to unlock and swing open before the pair flew inside. Snooping around the room as he looked for something, Sonic whispered, "Here Sonic's shadow. Come here."
Seeing a shadow make a break for it away from him, Sonic quickly dove at it. Lunging at his shadow, only to miss it, Sonic clenched his teeth before diving at it again. "Got it!" Sonic cheered as he grabbed his shadow. He looked at his shadow that was struggling to break free. "Now to attach it again."
Unfortunately, he was not paying attention to where he was flying and collided headfirst with a dresser, but was still holding his shadow tightly as he dragged himself out from underneath the dresser. All three girls bolted awake at the sound of the crashing and chorused as they jumped out of bed, "Sonic!"
Seeing the three girls rush to him, Sonic responded, "Uh, great to see you three, but would one of you gals mind helping a guy out here?" He held up his shadow that finally stopped struggling. "Kinda need a shadow reattached."
"Honey, I do shoes, jewels, and nails, not sewing." Rouge replied.
"I don't know how." Confessed Amy and Sonic looked at Blaze.
"So Blaze. Can you help a hedgehog out?" questioned Sonic.
"Oh, okay." Blaze agreed as she grabbed a needle and thread and began her assigned task.
Looking at Sonic as Blaze sewed his shadow to him, Rouge questioned, "What happened that you lost your shadow?"
"Yeah, something happened and I kinda lost my shadow. I don't like talking about it." Sonic answered and no further questions about the incident were asked.
Blaze finished sewing Sonic's shadow onto him and told the azure hedgehog, "There. It should stay attached now."
"Woohoo!" cheered Sonic and he jumped in the air and did a loop-the-loop before floating in the air. "Thanks Blaze!"
Putting the needle and what remained of the thread on a dresser, Blaze replied, "You're welcome."
"So, care to tell us why you were being a Peeping Tom?" asked Rouge as she put a hand on her hip.
"Oh, Tails and I-" Sonic started and the three girls saw Tails standing in the corner, an air of annoyance surrounding him.
"Oh! Sorry Tails! We didn't see you were there!" Amy apologized and Tails gave a disgruntled look.
"Anyway, I tell my Lost Buddies-" continued Sonic.
"Lost Buddies?" interrupted Rouge as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. My pals, my homies, my brothers from another mother, my-" Sonic replied.
Rouge cut off, "Okay. I get it."
"Anyway, I tell them stories all the time about when I stop by…and hear whatever when I'm over here listening to you tell stories." Sonic finished.
"Sounds interesting. I wish we could meet them." Remarked Amy.
"Hey! That's a great idea!" Sonic exclaimed and landed on the ground. "Come with me to Never-Never Land!"
"One problem with that plan Sweetie. How do we get there?" Rouge pointed out.
"Easy. Just fly. With some magic fairy glittering stuff from Tails…you can fly there!" explained Sonic as he floated in the air and the young fox pulled out a small burlap bag.
Opening it, Tails pulled out a handful of glittering dust, dropped it on Amy and Blaze, and the pair began to levitate off the ground. Watching Tails as he came to sprinkle some of the dust on her, Rouge told him, "Sweetie. You can skip me with the dust. I got wings. The flying part is something I got covered."
"Really?" Sonic responded. He crossed his arms. "Prove it."
Rouge flapped her wings to take off to prove her point, but could not get her feet off the ground. "What the…that can't be! The stupid fairy tale won't let me fly with my wings!" Rouge fumed with her teeth clenched and she stamped her foot against the ground in frustration.
Seeing the treasure hunter's annoyance from being denied her ability to fly, Sonic smirked, "Guess you need some of the magic dust stuff after all."
Muttering something none of them understood as Tails sprinkled the dust over her, Rouge joined the other four in the air. Tails closed the bag and tucked it away and Sonic looked between Amy, Blaze, Rouge, and Tails with a smile. "Okay! Let's go!" Sonic exclaimed as took out through the window and the other four raced after him to catch up.
Flying over the city, Tails saw Blaze and Sonic flying next to each other, having a conversation that involved both of them laughing. "That Blaze character is gonna try to steal my role as Sonic's best friend! I can't let that happen!" he thought to himself and began to think of ways to prevent the situation from happening.
"We've been flying for hours. Are we nearly there yet?" asked Amy and Sonic turned around to face the pink hedgehog, flying backwards.
"Almost." Sonic answered and forward as he took off, leaving the other four, once again, to rush after him. A short while later, the city disappeared and Amy, Blaze, Rouge, Sonic, and Tails were flying over an ocean and all of them saw a large island through the thick clouds. "And there it is. Welcome to Never-Never Land."
"It's amazing!" Blaze remarked and Sonic smiled.
Suddenly, there was a large whizzing sound that echoed and the group saw a red light flash across the sky. Sonic turned in the direction of the noise and told the group as the cannonball raced at them, "Tails. Lead the way. Eggman and his robots are firing at us."
The cannonball shot through the group and separated Amy, Rouge, and Sonic away from Blaze and Tails, losing each other in the smoke. Giving a small disgruntled look from the occurrence, Sonic hit the cannonball with a spin attack, resulting in it to bounce back at a second cannonball and the pair of weapons to explode.
Meanwhile, Eggman had left his ship and just stepped ashore as he faced the robots that were his crew and exploded, "You idiots! You missed that blasted blue hedgehog again!"
"Doctor-" one of the robots started, but was ignored by Eggman.
"I must find where the Lost Buddies hideout and capture them!" Eggman cut off. He held up a robotic hand. "When Sonic did the worst job removing my hand and throwing it to Iblis, I vowed to get revenge on that annoying blue pest! Considering I created you to help me…you aren't helping me!"
"You may want to keep it down Doctor. Iblis may be listening for you," A different robot advised, "and if the clock stopped ticking…we won't hear him coming."
"I wouldn't be shouting if you were doing what I want you to do!" Eggman barked. "Now start searching!"
The robots jumped up and began to look around for signs of Sonic and his Lost Buddies and their hideout while Eggman watched. Suddenly, they all heard a ticking noise and the robots looked at their creator who was as white as a ghost. "It's Ib…Ibl…Iblis!" Eggman screeched with a scream as high pitched as a little girl as they saw Iblis's head pop out from the water and Eggman rushed back towards his boat, but he still promised they would be back to accomplish their task.
Finally, the sky began to clear and Tails kept flying towards Never-Never Land, determined to follow what Sonic said. Looking over his shoulder to see Blaze following him, Tails remembered what Blaze was going to attempt to do and clenched his teeth as he quickly thought of a plan. "I know how I can stop her!" he muttered to himself and dove down to a large clearing.
Sitting on a giant rock in the middle of the clearing with a checkerboard, Silver jumped his black piece over three of Knuckles's red pieces and smiled as he proclaimed, "There! Those were the last pieces I had to get! I win!"
"You cheated! You had to!" Knuckles retorted as he flipped over the checkerboard in anger. "There is no way I can lose ten times in a row!"
Preparing to make a remark that was certain to get him punched in the face, Silver closed his mouth as he looked to the sky and told Knuckles, "Hey. Look! It's Tails!"
Seeing Tails fly to them, Knuckles pounded fists with the young fox as he landed and Knuckles asked, "Heya Tails. What's up?"
"Listen. There's a big purple bird that's gonna fly over soon and Sonic told me to tell you to take her out." Informed Tails and Knuckles and Silver looked at each other before looking at Tails.
"Really? That doesn't sound like Sonic." Silver responded.
"Are you questioning orders from Sonic?" challenged Tails.
Silver began, "No. It's just-"
"Then do what I told you that Sonic told me to tell you!" snarled Tails and the crimson echidna and silver hedgehog looked at each other, exchanging uneasy looks.
Not wanting to question their orders from Sonic anymore, Knuckles picked up a large rock as Silver used his psychokinesis to do the same and, the instant they saw their target, threw the rocks that slammed into their mark. Blaze began to plummet to the ground and just as she was about to hit the ground, Sonic quickly caught her in his arms. Landing on the ground, Sonic set Blaze on her feet as Amy and Rouge flew to them and Amy questioned frantically, "Blaze! Are you okay?"
"I'll be okay." Blaze reassured as Amy and Rouge held her steady and Sonic turned to face Knuckles and Silver, a stern look on his face.
"What the heck you two? You could've seriously hurt Blaze! I was bringing her and Rouge and Amy so they could hang out with us!" Sonic exploded and Knuckles and Silver looked at each other nervously before looking at Sonic.
"We were only doing what we were told." protested Knuckles.
"Who said to knock Blaze out of the sky?" demanded Sonic and the crimson echidna and silver hedgehog looked at each other again before looking back at the cobalt hedgehog.
Silver answered, "You did! Tails said you said-"
"Tails said what? Tails!" Sonic fumed. The blue hedgehog looked at the young fox that was starting to sneak away. "You've got some serious explaining to do!"
Tails started, "I-"
"Forget it! I'm not going to hear it! You're banished from the Lost Buddies!" Sonic stated and Tails glared at everyone before flying out of sight.
"Gee, wasn't that kinda harsh? I know that he said you said something that was supposed to hurt me, but banishing him? That's extreme." Blaze pointed out and Sonic looked at her.
"Okay, fine. It'll be a couple of days then." Agreed Sonic. He took Blaze by the hand and looked at his Lost Buddies and the other two girls. "Knuckles, Silver. Show Amy and Rouge the hideout."
"Okay." Responded Knuckles and Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver left the clearing as Blaze and Sonic looked at each other.
Seeing Blaze was slightly hesitant not going with Amy and Rouge, Sonic told her, "Come with me Blaze. I'll show you around."
"Oh, okay." Blaze decided and the pair took to the sky.
Flying over a lagoon, Sonic pulled Blaze down and Sonic let go of Blaze's hand as they landed. Seeing three Neutral Chao sitting on a large rock in the middle of the lagoon, Sonic waved to the Chao and the Chao swam over to them. "Chao chao chao?" one of the Chao asked as they pointed at Blaze and Sonic looked between Blaze and the Chao.
"This is Blaze." Sonic introduced and the three Chao glared at Blaze.
The three Chao chorused, "Chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao!"
"Sorry guys, but I can't stop wasting my time with Blaze and go play with you. I still got a lot of things to show her." Refused Sonic and Blaze and Sonic walked away from the Chao who were obviously upset from the decision Sonic made.
"My, those Chao are so judging." Blaze commented.
"Ah, just ignore them. They don't like strangers." Sonic responded.
Suddenly, a White Wisp covered in war paint flew up to Blaze and Sonic and Blaze questioned, "What is with that Wisp?"
The White Wisp made a series of gestures and Sonic guessed, "Robots kidnapped the Princess of the Wisps? And they took her to the caves so they can tie her to a rock and drown her at high tide?" The White Wisp nodded. "Don't worry. I'll save her."
Watching as the Wisp flew away, Blaze and Sonic looked at each other and Blaze asked, "How'd you know what they said?"
"I just guessed." Sonic answered. "C'mon. Let's go."
Flying into the cave where the Princess of the Wisps was being held hostage, Blaze and Sonic hid behind a rock as they saw two robots were about to tie up the Princess of the Wisps and Sonic thought for a moment. Clearing his throat, Sonic began in an imitation of Eggman's voice as best as he could, "What do you think you're doing?"
Stopping their task, one of the robots answered, "We're tying up the Princess of the Wisps like you said to."
"Release the Wisp." Sonic commanded and the robots looked at each other.
"But you said-" the other robot started.
"I changed my mind. Now let the Wisp go free." Repeated Sonic and the Princess of the Wisps flew away as the robots released her.
A few seconds later, Eggman came into the cave and seeing the robots with no Princess of the Wisps, he demanded, "Where is the Wisp?"
Coming out from his hiding spot, Sonic floated in the air and whistled to catch Eggman's attention. The instant Eggman saw the azure hedgehog, Sonic gave a small wave and informed, "Heya Eggloser. I told your hunks of junk to let her go."
"Why you little-" fumed Eggman as he took out a large plasma blaster and Sonic dodged a huge blast his arch enemy fired at him.
After a few minutes of blasting and dodging, Sonic chased Eggman on the wet rocks and slipped. Taking the slight second Sonic was down, Eggman bashed Sonic on the head with his robotic arm before hopping in boat the robots were taking back to the ship, Eggman laughing about how he finally had his revenge and Sonic would drown at high tide. Once the coast was clear, Blaze came out from behind the rocks she was hiding behind and carefully made her way to Sonic. Pulling him onto one of the higher rocks, she gave a slightly worried look. "Oh, how are we going to get you out of here?" she wondered out loud. "You're too out of it to fly and I don't think I'm strong enough to support you."
Searching for a way out of their predicament while Sonic rambled on about something to do with chili dogs and running, Blaze saw the tide was slowly rising and looked more frantically. Looking at the sky, Blaze smiled as she saw a kite flapping in the air. "O, there's a kite there so conveniently. Maybe it could help us get back." Blaze informed. She looked at Sonic to see he was still ranting to himself. "Well, you're not too much help."
Reaching out to catch the string, she managed to catch it and they floated somewhat gently from the rock as the tide came in.
Finally making it to the hideout of the Sonic and his Lost Buddies after an interesting ride, Blaze supported Sonic until she dumped him on the bed, incredibly annoyed with his ravings already and Sonic instantly fell asleep. Seeing Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver sitting at a table with a checkerboard with Amy and Silver sitting beside each other as Knuckles and Rouge sat together, Blaze walked up to them and watched as Silver moved his black pieces over three of Knuckles red ones and proclaimed, "Haha! Those were the last ones Amy and I needed! We win!"
Clenching her teeth as she saw Amy and Silver give each other high fives, Rouge looked at Knuckles as he flipped over the checkerboard in anger and frustration and she snapped, "I told you that you should've moved the other pieces!"
"Excuse me, but what are you playing?" questioned Blaze as Amy and Silver picked up the pieces and checkerboard.
"Checkers with partners. You work together to move the pieces in the right places." Explained Silver. He and Amy gave each other another high five. "And we are owning them!"
"Care to join us?" offered Amy as she put the pieces back in the right place and Blaze shook her head.
"Uh, I'll just watch." Blaze replied as Knuckles and Silver did a round of Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock to see who would go first.
"Good idea. You can make sure they don't cheat," Knuckles told her as Silver defeated his Rock with Spock, "they've already won all ten games we've played."
A few hours later, the group decided the game finished when Knuckles flipped over the checkerboard a few times and nearly punched Rouge for making them lose and Silver because he was mad that they lost all the games. "Well, at least you told some good stories while we played," Silver complimented to Blaze as he put the game away, "seems like you have a good time wherever you live."
"Thank you. And why don't you come back with us?" Blaze suggested and Knuckles and Silver looked at each other before nodding in approval of the idea.
"You can count me out on that plan," The four of them heard and looked to see Sonic was up, his arms crossed and a mixture of moods at the idea, "I'm gonna stay here."
Seeing there was no one who was going to add that they were staying with him, Sonic gave a depressed look and went back to his bed. "Okay, I'm bored. Let's play a game." Knuckles stated.
"Okay. What?" Rouge asked and Knuckles pulled out the checkerboard. "Not this again! Don't you have anything else?"
"Nope." Responded Knuckles as he set the game up and did a quick round of Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock and, once again, Silver defeated Knuckles's Rock with Spock. "Shoot. I really have to stop picking Rock all the time."
Outside the hideout, Wisps had stationed themselves as guards around it to protect it as a thank you for saving their Princess, but did not think it through as Eggman and his robots popped out of the bushes and, after a short skirmish, the Wisps were defeated and tied up, but still had managed to get some nice hits in. Eggman led the way through the small hole, but got stuck until some of the robots jumped on his rear end to push him down, the rest of the robots soon following him Attacking Amy, Blaze, Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver, there was a fairly lengthy brawl, everyone involved taking some hard hits until Amy, Blaze, Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver were subdued and knocked out. Tying the five defeated opponents up, the robots dragged them out and Eggman saw Sonic on the bed, apparently sleeping through the whole battle. Smiling, Eggman pulled out a lunchbox with his logo, opened it, and laughed as he took out a plate and a jalapeño covered chili dog. Setting the item of food on the plate on the table, Eggman scribbled Sonic's name on a piece of paper and set it next to the plate and laughed before he left, "Hohoho! When Sonic eats this chili dog I poisoned…I'll never see that irritating blue pest and my revenge will be complete!"
Meanwhile, Tails witnessed the whole scene from his hiding spot and, once he was certain Eggman and his robots were gone, came out. "Maybe it's a good thing I decided to stay here and out of sight." He reasoned to himself as he looked around and saw the plate with the poisoned chili dog.
"Boy, am I hungry." Sonic remarked as he sat up and stretched his arms. He saw the chili dog and his mouth began to water. "Perfect!"
Picking up the chili dog, he moved to devour it when Tails rushed to him and cried, "Sonic!"
Stopping just as he was about to bite down, Sonic saw Tails and pulled the chili dog away from his mouth and began to spin it in his right hand as he asked, "Tails? What are you doing here? I banished you."
"I know, but I came for my stuff. You can't eat that chili dog!"
"Why not?"
"Sonic! The chili dog is poisoned!"
"Say what?
"It'll kill you!
"How is this jalapeño covered piece of heaven going to kill me?" questioned Sonic as he looked hungrily at the item in question spinning in his hand.
"It's poisoned!" repeated Tails.
Seeing Sonic did not believe him, Tails did the unthinkable and knocked the poisoned food out of the cobalt hedgehog's hand and the duo watched as a hole burnt in the ground where the chili dog had landed. "Wow. I guess you were right. I unbanish you," stated Sonic as the pair looked at each other, "what happened?"
"Eggman showed up and took everyone hostage and put the chili dog out to kill you." Tails explained.
"Eggman, eh? He must've taken them back to his ship," Sonic responded, "c'mon. Let's go."
Meanwhile, on Eggman's ship, Amy and Rouge were walking the plank after Rouge had called Eggman something offensive while Blaze was tied up as she bade good-bye. Suddenly, they all heard a ticking noise and Amy and Rouge halted to a stop while Eggman went deathly pale and screamed like a little girl as everyone on the ship saw Iblis pop out of the water and swim to the ship. Sonic and Tails sprang up from behind Iblis and Eggman began to fire at weapon as he and Sonic began to fight and Tails freed everyone trapped on the ship and Knuckles let out a battle cry as he, Amy, Blaze, Rouge, Silver, and Tails began to battle the robots. After a fair amount of time and some hits that were going to leave some serious bruises, the robots were in a heap and Amy, Blaze, Knuckles, Rouge, Silver, and Tails watched Sonic as he hit the weapon with a powerful spin attack, obliterating it and Eggman abandoned ship and swam away as fast as he could as Iblis chased after him. Cheering at their victory, the group heard a dinging noise, saw the elevator doors were open, and bolted through them before they slid shut.
Stopping inside the elevator, the doors closed and everyone felt a shift as the elevator began to move. Looking at the group, Sonic did a short break dancing routine before standing on his feet as he grinned, "Did you see me take out the cannonballs? Boom! Tons of points for awesomeness for those moves!"
Looking at the lavender cat that he attempted to harm during the fairy tale, Tails apologized, "I'm really sorry about trying to hurt you Blaze. I don't know what came over me. I thought you were gonna replace me as Sonic's best friend."
"Oh, it's okay Tails. It was the way the story went." Responded Blaze, a hand on her hip.
"Ah, you don't have to ever being replaced Buddy. I'm not gonna lose you as my best friend." Sonic told the young fox as he faced him and the pair pounded fists with a smile.
Amy wondered, "I wonder how Shadow is."
"Who really cares about that egomaniac?" huffed Knuckles.
"I'm with Knuckles on that one." Silver agreed.
"Same here." Added Sonic as Tails nodded in agreement and the three girls looked at the four boys..
"Geez, I don't know what you Boys are getting so worked up over." Rouge remarked as all three girls crossed their arms.
Silver retorted, "Shadow flipping the Finger and swearing at us Bat Girl!"
"Well, all the times we've seen Shadow…he hasn't done anything like that to us." Rouge shrugged.
"Yeah. He hasn't sworn or made any gestures to any of us." Blaze continued.
Amy finished, "It's been quite pleasant seeing him."
"Tsk. Shadie Boy is just being nice to you because you're girls." Sonic told them and the other three boys nodded in agreement.
Rolling their eyes because the Boys were too stubborn to listen to their rebuttal, Amy, Blaze, and Rouge turned to face the elevators doors as the elevator stopped, the doors opened, and the group journeyed into the madness that awaited them.
My comment:
Iblis as the crocodile: He's closest thing to a croc in phase 2. How he's surviving in water…he just does in the story.
Okay, hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please review!
