-With Knuckles-
With the echidna he panted and slowly broke through the ground and looked around to see he was out of the house and grinned. 'The coast is clear.'
He pulled himself up and out of the ground and wiped the sweat from his head and spotted a nearby pond. He decided to get a drink not knowing that two eyes were looking at him from below the water's surface.
He walked over and crouched down before putting his shovel claws away and started scooping some water up and drank it. "Ah, much better." as he went ahead to cool his thirst off, he didn't notice the slight ripples moving near him.
Dun Dun.
"What was that?"
Dun Dun.
'Am I hearing things?' he looked around.
Dun Dun Dun DunDunDun DunDun DUN!
He stood up and grew scared before he saw a gloved hand with a green arm shoot out and grab his ankle. "What the hell!"
"HERE'S VECTOR!" A very familiar reptile said before dragging him into the water.
Knuckles' eyes widened as she pulled him under the water and tried pushing her back. "Get off!"
Vector grinned and slackened her grip to let the echidna break the surface for air while keeping a grip on his legs.
Dun dun dun
The crocodile continued her hold on Knuckles as he felt the air starting to build up in his lungs.
He splashed around while she stayed under and tried wiggling his legs out of her grip. "Let go of me!"
No response from the gator as she continued holding on to Knuckles. She grinned and rubbed her head against his legs and made sure to keep her position.
"What are you doing!" he growled and saw he wasn't moving and growled. 'Think Knuckles, you're in the water with a crazy croc holding your legs, so swimming away won't work. Plus if I try to punch her to let go, she'll grab that too.'
"Hey!" Said a lifeguard who noticed the two from his chair. "No horse playing allowed!"
Vector reluctantly let go as Knuckles swam out before running away from the pond.
"FREEDOM!" He yelled.
'For now.' thought Vector with a grin as she swam away.
-with Sonic and Tails-
'Need somewhere large and with lots of people!' thought Sonic as he ran around the city. 'The mall! That's perfect.'
If Amy didn't come out of a clothes store.
He turn and kept dragging Tails inside before stopping. "Alright, we need to stay low and we should be fine."
-outside mall, front gates-
"So where do you think they are?" Charmy asked as they entered the mall.
"Well. Maybe-"
"SONIC!" Yelled a familiar pink mammal as she collided with Espio and Charmy, right next to the bookstore that the boys were hiding in.
"Ow." groaned Espio standing up while turning and frowning at Amy. "Hello Amy."
"Hey Amy." Charmy glared. "Nice for you to tackle us today."
Said girl looked confused. "Sorry about that, but how do you know me?"
Both looked nervous.
"We are Charmy's and Espio's sisters." Charmy said with a nervous voice. "We just moved to town and were looking around at the place."
"Yea. And looking for Sonic and Tails, the heros of the earth." Espio spoke with sweat pouring down her face.
"Oh? How come?" she asked with a raised eyebrow hearing Sonic being mentioned.
"We just wanted to get their autographs." Both said while looking nervous.
Amy looked at them with suspicious looks before shrugging. "Alright, well I'm looking for Sonic, so if I see him I'll let you know." 'Not.'
"Oi!" Charmy said noticing the venom in Amy's voice. "We were just trying to be nice! You don't have to be a bitch about it!"
"CHARMY!" Espio yelled before covering her mouth. 'Crap!'
"Excuse me?" frowned Amy walking over to Charmy. "I was being polite!"
"Yea, like a viper." Charmy retorted. "I'm still amazed that Sonic still considers you an acquaintant with a voice like that."
Espio facepalmed as Amy started getting angry from the insult. 'Charmy you fool. You just signed our death warrant!'
-in the bookstore at the exact same moment-
We find the two boys looking at some books before a loud crash and the cry of a girly scream was heard. Both nervously crouched down and listened for anyone entering the store.
"Ow…" Charmy moaned as she happened to have crashed into the bookstore and made a hole in the wall that was right next to the two. "That hammer….what's in it, an elephant?"
"Are you alright?"asked Tails even though Sonic was gesturing for him to run before she regained her sense.
"No...I think my thorax got broken by that pink monster bitch." Charmy moaned before coughing a little blood. "Ow."
Tails rushed over and carefully had her sit up. "Hold on, I'm taking you to a hospital."
Charmy didn't respond as she fainted from the injuries.
"Sonic, I'm gonna take her to a hospital." spoke the fox carefully picking her up.
"But-" Sonic was cut off by a two loud cries.
"SONIC!"
"CHARMY OH GOD!"
Espio and Amy ran over with the chameleon checking Charmy's pulse.
"She's ok, but she will never think of hammers the same." Espio glared at Amy.
"I..I'm sorry! I got angry because she was being rude." spoke Amy with a frown.
"So?" Tail glared. "Being rude to someone isn't the same as hitting someone with a hammer!"
Before Amy could defend herself, they saw Charmy's body starting to glow and the blood vanished.
"Ow…" Charmy groaned before looking around. "What happened to the pink elephant? And the mallet cannon?"
"Amy's right here." Espio pointed to the hedgehog who frowned at the remark.
"Oh...you look better as an elephant." She stuck her tongue out at that remark. "And you really need to learn to stop hitting others for small remarks."
"Again sorry, but how did you heal so fast?"
"Magic?" She said confused. That's when she fully realized where she was. "Tails!" She blushed redder than Knuckles' fur.
He blushed as Charmy latched onto him and Espio took notice they found them.
"Finally!" She said while holding Sonic. "Now we got you!"
"Crap!" Sonic turned and zipped away out of the store with Espio on his back.
"Gah! Sonic! I'm going to puke again!" She said while holding Sonic's spines as her face became green.
Sonic panicked before running towards the bathrooms and skidded to a stop with Espio flying off and into the girl's restroom.
"AH!" She cried before flying into a toilet. "Ow." She groaned as she spit some toilet water out of her mouth.
"Phew." sighed Sonic who noticed Amy running towards him before zipping away.
-cafeteria-
Sonic runs straight into a kitchen and hid behind the counter.
"Hey you!" called one of the chefs who was a wolf.
"What!" Sonic said while shaking.
"You the new guy? We need another hand."
"Well, not ex-"
"Sonic! Where are you!" came Amy's voice nearby.
"Sonic!" Yelled Espio who was somewhere in the area as well. "Where the hell are you?"
"Uh, I mean, yes, I'm the new guy." he spoke staying low as he walked over. "What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to man the grill while I get some patties from the freezer."
"Got it." nodded Sonic walking over to the grill and was away from the front. 'I should be safe back here.'
"One bacon burger with nothing on it." Said a woman in a brown jacket and wearing a black hat. "And a large soda, hold the ice."
"Bacon burger and large soda! Hold the ice!" called the head chef.
"Oh and I'd like some napkins as well." She said while looking at Sonic through some black shades. "Please?"
Sonic and the other cooks went ahead to get the foods prepared.
-a few minutes later-
"That will be $18.13, cash or credit?" Sonic said while the woman looked at him still.
"Cash." she smiled as she payed the bill. "Oh and keep the change, handsome." She smiled before taking the bag and walked away. 'Oh Sonic, I hope that change will 'be a knock out'.'
Sonic shivered and looked at the change she gave him. It was normal enough before noticing a rather large gold coin with a picture of a chameleon on it, before he could react the coin opened up and released a cloud of knockout gas into his face.
He coughed and waved it away while feeling woozy. 'Oh shit!'
-in a dark closet in the mall-
"...nic. Sonic. Wake up!"
Sonic slowly opened his eyes and found himself leaning against a wall and saw he was in a dimly lit space.
"Hey Sonic." Smiled….Amy? What? Oh right….Espio was too slow to catch her when Sonic was out cold. "Miss me?"
"Amy? Where am I?" he groaned.
"Oh? Just my Sonic bunker number, 574, the mall closet of love~" she said with a dark smile.
He saw the look and inwardly panicked while feeling his body was moving slower than usual.
"Don't even think about it. That knockout gas Espio used lower your reflexes, so it's gonna be a while before you can run."
Sonic paled as he saw Amy getting closer to him with a seductive smirk.
She grabbed his cheeks and was about to lean in, but they suddenly heard something thunk against the door.
"Gah! Harder!" Yelled Tails.
"Stop using me as a battering ram!" Charmy yelled.
"Charmy!" Espio yelled. "Less talking more ramming!"
The door thunked again with more force.
"OW!"
"Again!"
The door gave way as it fell to the ground while the three ran into the room, with Charmy looked like she was about to fall down from head injuries.
"Get off him!" growled Espio grabbing Amy.
"Yea...ow...that hurt." Charmy moaned as her head started to heal.
Espio and Amy wrestled against the other while Tails helped lift Sonic up on his feet.
"Are you ok?" Tails asked while brushing the dust off.
"My body feels sluggish, but I'm alright." Sonic leaned in. "Quick, before they notice, we need to book it."
"Hey Sonic." Charmy said. "Can you tell Tails never to use me like that again...I think I lost some brain cells from that."
He gave a thumbs up and nodded. "Quickly, lets go."
Tails nodded and waited as Charmy went to help Espio before rushing to drag Sonic and himself to the elevator.
-back in the main building-
"Do you think we lost them?" Tails asked as they left the mall through the gates.
"Don't know, and right now we need to focus on moving. We need another place to lay low."
"Like Angel Island? Or maybe underground?"
"Angel Island, we get to your plane and figure out where Knuckles is so we can tell him the plan."
"Good idea." Tail grinned before they both ran to his house. Well he ran while dragging Sonic while keeping an eye out for the girls.
-back with the girls-
"And stay down." Espio said while walking away from a beat up Amy who was on the ground naked and bloodied.
"Uh, Espio?" spoke Charmy looking around with a frown. "They're gone."
Espio looked around before cursing at her bad luck. "FUCK!"
Charmy sighed before seeing something and floated over to a makeup stand. "Hey. Let's get Sonic to come to us, that and getting Tails here as well~" Charmy grinned with a blush from the perverse things she was thinking of with Tails and a bed. "Please Espio!"
Espio rubbed her chin while Charmy looked over some lipstick and grinned. "Not a bad idea."
Both girls grinned as they got ready for their plan. Good luck Sonic, Tails and Knuckles….you're going to need it.
-With Knuckles-
He panted and kept running as he reached a park and leaned on a bench to catch his breath.
"Coo?" Said a pigeon from a nearby tree. "Coo Coo!"
"Stupid bird." he muttered before sitting on the bench.
"Coo coo Knuckles is a coo coo!" The bird said as it flew on to the bench and revealed to be a machine. "Coo coo you are!"
"What the." spoke Knuckles before growling. "Shut it bird brain!"
"No you coo coo bird!" It said. "Coo coo you are Knucky."
The echidna raised his fist up and swung at the machine. Only for it to fly away and land on his head and looked at him.
"Coo coo, you're so predictable."
Knuckles grinned before bringing both fists upward.
"Wait!" It said. "I can help you with your coo coo girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend." he spoke while stopping his fists.
"Oh coo coo. Still I can help you coo coo." The pigeon said while pecking it's metallic feathers.
"Oh yeah? How?"
"Oh. I can just get rid of the coo coo chaos energy from her body with my eggvacuum 4000." It said while Knuckles looked interested. "So want to try coo coo?"
"Hmm, well it might turn her back to a guy, there's that. Plus she might finally stop chasing me."
"Excellent. Now just head to my eggfortress and get that coo coo girlfriend of yours over there." It said before a timer appeared that read, 1:00. "Oh and this Coo coo bot will self destruct in 23 seconds."
"Say what?"
KABOOM! It exploded as Knuckles became covered in smoke and ash.
"Stupid bird." he growled wiping some of the ash off him.
"Coo...oo…" The still intact head said while landing on his head.
Knuckles grinned before grabbing the head and smashed it to bits.
-with Vector-
"Anytime now…." She said still waiting in the pond. "Anytime." she sat on the bottom cross legged while tapping her arm. "Maybe I should be more gentle when I grab him."
"You think." A fish said while swimming in front of her before getting eaten by Vector.
She gulped the fish down with a grin. "Hmm, fresh sushi."
"I hate you!" The fish said from the stomach. "I really hate you!"
"Quiet down there." she slapped her stomach. That's when she idly noticed the part of a white glove near the edge of the water. "What is that?"
She swam closer and spotted a glossy red figure above the water. "KNUCKLES!" She yelled while grabbing the figure.
Knuckles was pulled back under the water and saw Vector's grinning face before she held onto his legs and let his head above the surface. 'Not again!' "Uh, hey Vector! Can you come up here for a sec!" he yelled through the water.
She didn't respond before swimming towards a nearby beaver dam, an unoccupied. She stopped and let go of his legs to show he could climb onto it. She raised her head up out of the water. "Alright, what do you wanna talk? Maybe your place or mine?"
"I have somewhere in mind." He grinned. "Think of it as a special place with a….treat for you."
"Of fish?" She asked.
"No, consider this as a date if you want."
This got her attention as she jumped out of the water and hugged him. "YES! LET'S GO!" She then ran out of the water, with Knuckles still in her arms, in the wrong direction.
"Uh, the surprise is actually the other way." he spoke up.
She blushed before going the other way. "I knew that!"
-At Eggman's base-
We find the scientist looking through a camera with a evil grin. He saw Knuckles leading Vector and rubbed his hands with a chuckle.
"Soon I will have that Chaos energy!"
"Cha what?" Said a new robot that looked like a cross between Sonic and a certain evil Doll with an extra pair of arms on his back. "What's that?"
"A fool and a walking source of chaos energy." grinned the doctor. "Now to make sure everything is set up."
"Oh….SP Ex is confused." It said. (Sonic Predator Ex).
"You'll understand later."
"Ok Doctor Catman...or was it Noseman?" SP Ex said confused before walking away.
Eggman facepalmed. 'Next time I work on the AI before the design.'
"Oh and Eggman." SP Ex said turning its head 180 degrees. "The prototype Chaos bot escaped just two nanoseconds ago."
"What!"
"And it took the eggvacume as well...and my keys?" SP Ex said confused. "Or was it my picture of Amy hitting Sonic on the head with her hammer?...SP Ex is too confused!"
"Just find it before they get here!" he ordered.
"Yes sir! Permission to use protocol 'dead hog?'"
"Granted."
This made the machine grin as it got bigger, gained a monster tail and a pair of large spike like wings. "I will find the bot boss!" It said before blasting a hole in the ceiling and flying up and away. "Delete the cats!"
Eggman just facepalmed again while praying that this robot will actually do its job instead of getting destroyed….like the others.
