Phantom Hedgehog, chapter 3

Hello, & welcome to the third chapter of my fifth fanfic! This is the second story you will see me update today! The first was Rhythm Thief & the Blue Cat & the Orange Fish, & now it's Phantom Hedgehog! Next, I'll be updating Rhythm Thief & the Time Lord, & then Sonic & Gumball: Origins! I have a big day of updating today, so I hope you enjoy this one!

Sonic, Phantom R, & the others are looking for Eggman & Napoleon. Suddenly, Tails sees a note on the ground. "Guys, look! I found a note on the ground!" he shouted.

"A note?" Sonic asked. He & the others ran back to Tails to see what it says.

"What does the note say?" Phantom R asked Tails.

Tails reads the note out loud. "The note says, "In the city." What sense does that make? What city?"

"Guys! Over here!" Knuckles shouted. He found another note.

"What is it, Knuckles?" Phantom R asked.

"It's another note," he answered. "It says, "Behind the wall right in front of you." Let's see what's behind this wall," Knuckles walks behind the tower to see what's there. He sees a child detective behind the wall. The kid kicks the soccer ball he had, & the ball hit Knuckles in the face, forcing Knuckles back. Then he fell on the ground.

Everyone gasped. "Knuckles!" Sonic shouted. He ran to Knuckles & saw the kid that hit Knuckles with the soccer ball. "Hey, kid! What did you do that for!?" he shouted to the kid. "And who are you anyway?"

"I am Charlie, & I wish to battle Phantom R!" Charlie answered.

"Not you again!" Phantom R shouted.

"There you are, Phantom R," Charlie said.

Tails facepalmed himself. "Oh man, that rhyming joke was terrible!" he shouted.

"Alright, if you want to battle me, then I'll battle you," Phantom R said to Charlie.

"Good!" Charlie nodded.

They start the battle, kicking the ball back to each other. After about 20 seconds, Charlie kicked the ball softly on accident, making the ball go high in the air, & then Phantom R kicked the ball harder & it hit Charlie. This was repeated 2 more times.

Afterwards, Charlie got tired. "Man… I've had… enough with this…" he said, panting.

"So do you accept your defeat?" Knuckles asked Charlie.

"Yes," Charlie answered. "Who are you anyway?"

"I'm Knuckles the Echidna, & those two are Sonic the hedgehog & Tails the Fox" Knuckles introduced.

"Knuckles… does the name come from the spikes of your gloves?" Charlie asked.

"Yes, but they are sharp, so be careful not to mess with me, or I'll punch you in the face & you'll bleed," Knuckles answered.

"So what are you three up to anyway?" Charlie asked Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles.

"We came here because two evil guys are going to destroy your world & ours! We have to stop them!" Tails answered.

"What!?" Charlie shouted in shock. "I won't let them do that!"

"Do you think you can help us out?" Sonic asked Charlie.

"Yes I will!" Charlie answered. "Now let's go!" Everyone continued their quest to stop Eggman & Napoleon, with Phantom R continuing to finds secrets about his father as well.

And that's the third chapter! I know this story is more Adventure than it is Mystery, but I'll be putting in more mystery in later chapters. If you have any questions, ask me in review or PM, & I'll gladly answer. This is BlueHedgehog1997, speeding out!
