Chapter 2: Arrivals and Landings
The door burst open catching Cosmo's daughter by surprise and she jolted off her bed to the floor where she lay awkwardly watching Amy who stood at the door.
"Is everything okay Starlight?" asked the girl hedgehog as she stared back.
"No…I mean yeah. You surprised me that's all." replied the plant girl as she got off the floor.
"Sorry. It's just I need someone to talk to." said Amy as she entered the room and the door closed.
"Oh boy. I think I know where this is going." thought Starlight as she sat herself back onto the bed..
"It's about Sonic." spoke the girl hedgehog.
"Knew it." thought Cosmo's daughter.
She let out a sigh before moving to allow Amy to sit on the bed beside her.
"I know that everyone's not happy with him, but I don't think they're giving him a chance. I think the Metarex leader did something to him. He wouldn't be acting this way." said the girl hedgehog as she sat down.
"I can't really say, but look at Cream and Cheese. Those two Metarex did protect them till the very end. They must have been close." spoke the plant girl.
"I know. It's like something has gone and control Sonic. Like he's been manipulated." said Amy.
"Does she know something?" thought Starlight.
"Did you confront him?" questioned Cosmo's daughter.
"He refused to talk to me." answered the girl hedgehog.
"Then there's nothing I can do about it." spoke the plant girl.
"I guess. You two must be close." said Amy.
"What gives you that idea?" inquired Starlight.
"Both of you don't need power ups and sure seem to understand what the other is saying. It's almost like you're related." responded the girl hedgehog.
"Urk!" thought Cosmo's daughter as she didn't like how the conversation was turning out.
"No. No. No. You know we're not related. Cosmo was my mother and supposedly Tails my father." spoke the plant girl quickly.
"Why is she fiercely denying it so quickly?" thought Amy.
"What about you and Tails? You've been talking to him a lot lately. What's it about?" asked Starlight.
"Nothing important. Simple stuff." replied the girl hedgehog just as quickly.
"Why is she…Oh no." thought Cosmo's daughter.
The two girls gave each heated glances as they got to their feet.
"Don't tell me…" they both thought.
"She has feelings for Sonic." thought Amy.
"She has feelings for Tails." thought the plant girl.
"What if she's been secretly dating Sonic? Is that why he wants me to stay away?" thought the girl hedgehog.
"What if she's been secretly dating Tails? Is that why he asks Chris to talk to me saying he's busy?" thought Starlight.
"No! I won't let her have him." they both thought.
They both opened their mouths when Chris waltzes right in.
"Starlight! Amy! I…" started the boy.
He stopped when he felt and saw their murderous expressions.
"Yes?" demanded the both of them.
"We've already arrive to a planet that has chaos emerald readings." said Chris.
"That was fast." spoke Amy.
"Well, thanks to the power ups we can increase the radius of the scanners and we simply warped there." said the boy.
"We better head to the control room." spoke Cosmo's daughter.
"Right." said the other two.
They rushed into the control room where everyone else was waiting. Their entrance did nothing to change the awkward silence or tension they was being emitted in the room.
"This doesn't look good." thought the plant girl as she looked at each person.
"Why's everyone so quiet?" thought the girl hedgehog as she continuely took a glance at Sonic.
"Looks like bringing them didn't help." thought Chris as they moved further into the room.
"Chris got starlight and Amy. That means everyone's here." thought Tails as he checked for everyone.
"I wonder if these Metarex will be like Leviathan and Blue. I won't Sonic treat them badly." thought Cream as she looked to the hedgehog.
"Choo. Choo. Choo. Choo." thought Cheese as it laid in its companion's arms.
"Cream and Cheese look better, but that doesn't mean I'll forgive Sonic." thought Knuckles as he watched them from afar.
"How distasteful. They're still creating fakes, but hopefully that means there's at least one original. I would grab the white emerald, but they won't let me get near it." thought Rogue as her full attention was on the planet.
"I can feel the pull of the negative energy leaking from the fake emeralds. It's making me stronger. Maybe we need to collect them too in order to stop the Metarex." thought Sonic as he felt his powers increase.
"So what's the plan? It's not like we can waltz in on the planet. They probably would detect us. There may not even be a real emerald among them." spoke Starlight shattering the silence.
"True. Our scanners have been unable to differentiate the real from the fakes. It would be risky to go." said the two-tailed fox.
"Are you kidding me? It's all the more reason to go. We need to check for the chaos emeralds. They could also have the location of the Master Emerald." spoke the echidna.
"I agree with Knucks. Besides, I hate imitation jewelry." said the girl bat.
"We should go." spoke the girl rabbit.
"Choo. Choo." said the chao.
"Sonic? What about you?" questioned the boy.
"Of course. The Metarex probably did this to the planet and we have to return it to normal." answered the hedgehog not bothering to look at them.
"Then it's settled…" Sonic ignored the rest that was said as it was always the same when they headed for a planet.
"Tails is such a child. He thinks everyone needs to be told what to do. It's such a pain." thought the hedgehog.
He sensed something and placed a hand over his racing heart as the sensation seemed to grow stronger making his blood boil.
"What is this sensation? I felt this before. An emerald? No. The scanners would have picked it up. A planet egg? It doesn't feel like it's from the planet. A heart crystal? Maybe. I've only felt it once before, but where is it coming from?" thought Sonic as he searched for it.
Suddenly, the hedgehg realized where it was coming from and spun towards Tails.
"Tails! Watch out!" shouted Sonic as he rushed towards him.
"What…" began the two-tailed fox.
The ship jolted and everyone was thrown around violently.
"What's going on?" inquired Knuckles as he slid across the floor grappling for something.
"We've been hit." responded Chris as he held onto a chair.
"Kind of obvious." spoke Rogue as she tumbled around.
"It's a Metarex ship." said Amy as she held onto a screen.
"But how did they get behind us?" asked Cosmo's daughter as she grabbed onto another chair.
"I'm not sure." replied the girl hedgehog.
"Prepare for emergency landing." spoke Tails as the Blue Typhoon tumbled towards the planet.
The Metarex ship landed and an army of Metarex stood ready to greet whoever was on board. The door opened and the leader stepped forward onto the ice. All the Metarex bowed as a bat like creature dropped from the sky and in front of the Metarex.
"Freezing Fang." said the Metarex leader.
"Master. It's an honor to have you visit us." spoke Freezing Fang as it gave a bow.
The humanoid Metarex stood about the leader's height save for the few inches it had over the other. Its white wings had folded onto its back while its two red animal-like eyes peered at the ship.
"There are scratches on the ship's hull." said Freezing Fang.
"Sharp as ever. You can see anything in this weather." spoke the Metarx leader.
"Not really. I can hear a little difference in the vibrations on part of the ship to suggest that. What happened?" questioned the Metarex.
"A momentary impulse." answered the leader.
FLASHBACK
The Metarex leader sat on its throne as the planet came into view.
"I wonder if they will arrive soon." thought the leader.
"Master. The Blue Typhoon is here." said a Metarx jolting the Metarx leader out of its thoughts.
"Where? When?" inquired the leader.
"It seems to arrive before we did. They're just orbiting the planet." responded another Metarex.
"I must really be out of it not to notice them." thought the Metarex leader.
"What shall we do master?" asked a different Metarx.
"Ram them." replied the leader instantly.
"What?" All the Metarex looked to their master with looks that ranged from confusion and surprise.
"Oops. I didn't mean to say that aloud. Oh well. This is revenge for what they did to my Metarex." thought the Metarex leader.
"You heard me. Ram them." spoke the leader.
"But master it would damage the ship." said a Metarex.
"To the point where we would have trouble landing?" questioned the Metarex leader.
"Uh…no, but…" stuttered the Metarex.
"Just ram them already." spoke the leader as it slammed its armrest.
"As you wish master." said the Metarex as they set off to do as their master commanded.
It didn't take more than a nudge to send them tumbling onto the planet.
"Bwah ha ha ha ha HA HA HA!" shrieked the Metarex leader in its mind.
END FLASHBACK
"I see." spoke Freezing Fang as if understanding the implications.
"Have preparations been made?" inquired the leader.
"As you have commanded." answered the Metarex.
"Excellent. Sonic won't get away with his last 'victories.'"said the Metarex leader.
