Please don't get mad at me! I've been caught up with school and another story of mine! I'll try to get to this more often! Sorry!

I still don't own Sonic. Sega does, thank goodness. Otherwise the animations and game plots would be pretty crappy…or worse!

I do own Elise and her siblings.

Lets Get Out of Here!

"Shadow!" I exclaimed as he was pushed in the tube. His eyes widened in shock and he started banging at the glass, trying to break it. But he didn't even crack it!

A clear liquid began to fill the tube slowly. I knew that this was step two of the process. As soon as it all filled the container…Shadow would be just another robot out of many. I knew what to do, also.

I pushed through the crowd of crazed robots and up to the front of the machine. The 'water' was at Shadow's chest now. He looked at me with sad eyes.

"You promised…" I saw him say. It could have been something else, for you couldn't hear through the glass.

"I'm sorry! I tried!" I said, typing at the controls madly. Soon, cords sprouted out of the top of the tube and connected themselves to Shadow. His eyes widened in pain as they sent jolts of energy through him. What had I done wrong?

That's when I saw the giant red button. It was the one that was in the glass box that always said 'Do Not Press!' nearby was a hammer.

I was gonna press that button, alright.

I held the hammer above my head and smashed the glass box, pretty mush slamming the button in the process. Immediately, the liquid started to recede. Once it was all out, the tube opened. Shadow pulled the cords off of him and stepped out.

"Thanks…" he murmured with a shiver. I guess he was still in shock.

"I think we've seen enough." Ben said.

"Does that mean we can leave?!" James and Shadow asked at the same time.

"Not just leave: run away."

"Yes!" at that, we all ran out of the room and back to the hangout space. As soon as we caught our breath, I asked "So…what do we do now?"

"Yeah, I don't want to stay here anymore." Mark agreed.

"Is there any possible way to communicate with Sonic?" Ben asked me.

"You mean the ene—wait, he's not the enemy anymore." Shadow said.

"Mighty gave me this watch that's also a communicator." I said, getting Mighty's watch out of a drawer.

"Okay, let's talk to Sonic then." I threw the watch against the wall.

"What was that for?!" James said "That was a Rolex watch! Do you know how much those-"

"Calling; Sonic the hedgehog." The watch said in a monotone voice. I turned to James with a smirk.

"I think you owe me an apology." I said.

"Yeah, I think you owe Elise an apology too!" Sonic's voice said from the watch. We all ran up to it except Shadow.

"Alright! Sorry for yelling at you for throwing a Rolex against a wall." James said sarcastically.

"You threw a Rolex against a wall?! What the heck?!"

"I didn't know how else to activate it!" I whined.

"Just press the button on the side!"

"Oh…"

"So, what's up?" Sonic said with a smirk.

"We showed Shadow the Robotization room for the first time." Mark said

"And hopefully the last! I almost got killed in there!" Shadow shouted.

"Is that Project Shadow?" Sonic asked.

"Yes, I am Project Shadow. And you are?" Shadow finally came and looked at the face in the watch.

"I'm Sonic the hedgehog."

"Oh, yeah! We almost forgot! We found a hedgehog that looked like you in the Robotization Room, but it had a tuft of hair on its forehead. Do you know who it is?" James asked. Sonic began to cry and ran out the room he was in. a red echidna picked up the watch. It had long dreadlocks and purple eyes.

"Who are you guys?" he asked.

"We're Eggman's kids. We've been leaking Sonic information for a few weeks now." I said "And this is Shadow the hedgehog."

"Cool. But why do you have Mighty's watch?"

"Because Dad kidnapped him last week."

"No kidding? Well, I guess you would know of all people…I heard that last part of the conversation. That hedgehog you saw was probably his Dad. He was captured when Sonic was five, and he's been fighting Eggman ever since."

"Aw…can you get Sonic to come back here?"

"Alright." The echidna put the watch down and walked away. A few seconds later, Sonic came back.

"I'm all good now!" he said. I could tell he was lying though "So, what did you want?"

"We want to leave, but we don't know how." Ben said "As you know, we're a couple thousand feet in the air and Dad only has one parachute. And an escape pod, but we wouldn't know where we'd land."

"Oh; okay. I've got an idea…"

I snuck out of my room in the middle of the night with nothing but a small flashlight and some necessities in a backpack. All my recipes, my stuffed hedgehog named Speedy, my iPod and iPad, and some other stuff.

After awhile, I came downstairs and snuck past the control room into the Prison Cells. Everyone was asleep, and even Espio was in his cell again. But he glowed golden in the light; Dad hadn't given him his kunai back. Which is why I had it in my backpack.

"Hey! Wake up!" I hissed. Mighty's ear flicked twice, but he didn't move. Silver opened his eyes a bit and closed them again. Espio didn't even move at all. So I had to shake them all awake.

"Elise, its midnight!" Silver complained. Mighty rubbed a sleepy eye. Espio just looked at me with a dazed look on his face.

"We're busting out of here." I whispered. Mighty was immediately awake, and Silver stopped complaining. Espio just stared.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" I opened my backpack and laid Espio's kunai next to him. He started turning purple again and leaped out of his cot.

"Bad dream; bad dream!" he exclaimed. I covered his mouth with my hand.

"You can scream later; we're escaping." Espio nodded, and I let go. Then I led them through the halls and to the 'Meeting Place'. James, Mark, and Ben were already there with their backpacks and flashlights. I gave Mighty his Rolex back.

"Ready?" James asked. I nodded.

"Where's Shadow?" Mark asked.

"I'm here!" a voice said. We turned around and saw him coming out of the nearby bathroom. "What? When you gotta go, you gotta go."

"Never mind." I opened the large sliding door and immediately, wind blew through the base. Tails' plane was waiting in front of the door. Sonic waved, and the echidna from the watch nodded his head in greeting.

We all stepped into the ship and sat in any extra seats. Tails turned around with a serious look on his face.

"Did Eggman wake up or see you guys?" he asked. We all shook our heads.

"Did you leave the bathroom light on?" Ben asked Shadow. Sonic laughed, and Knuckles suppressed a smirk.

"For the last time; when you gotta go, you gotta go! And yes; I'm not that stupid!"

"So you're slightly stupid." Sonic said with a smirk.

"Why, you little…" Shadow began to glow red as he started to growl

"Calm down; I'm just messing with ya!"

"So, Eggman's probably gonna be pretty upset when he sees that you're all gone, so be expecting an attack at any time." Tails said. Then he smiled. "So, do you wanna grab a bite to eat over at McDonalds, or are you not hungry?"

"What's McDonalds?" my whole family asked (I considered Shadow part of the family since he's a Robotnik technically.)

"You have a lot to learn…" Knuckles said, shaking his head.

"McDonalds is a restaurant that makes food really fast." Mighty said.

"Why McDonalds?" Espio complained "Cant we go to Panda Express?"

"We'll take you to Panda Express after we go to McDonalds." Knuckles said.

"Can I have Sonics?" Sonic asked "I'm in the mood for a chili dog."

"Sonic, you're always in the mood for a chili dog!" Tails said.

"Okay, so McDonalds, Panda Express, and Sonics…I'll just get something from each place." Mark said.

"Good idea!" everybody else said. Then Tails flew off.

Yay, they ran away! Finally, things are gonna get exciting! And funnier!

Thanks for your patience!

Still don't own various Mobians. I do own Elise, Mark and Ben (AKA Marking Pen), or James!
