Chapter 9: In the giant ship

"So guys what do you think is in the giant ship?" Vector asked.

"I don't know, I thought you were the detective." Knuckles said rudely.

"I'm really getting tired of you." Vector said grumpily.

"If you're so tired then why don't you take a nap, baby." Knuckles said.

"WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Vector yelled.

"You called?" Charmy said.

"What are you talking about?" Vector asked.

"Well isn't that my nickname, Amy and Knuckles call me it a lot." Charmy said.

"Guys, I know that you are all kinda busy but were kinda about to go inside the ship." Sonic said, pointing upwards at an opening hatch.

"Well I guess it's time to find out what's going on." Tails said as they floated through the now closing hatch.

"Where are we?" asked Amy.

They were in a large room with big strong looking walls in a light shade of gray. There wasn't a single thing in the room with them besides a closed door on the far side of the room, a tv screen on the opposite side, and the closed hatch they entered from.

"Hahaha!" Laughed Eggman as his face appeared on the tv. Well actually it was his nose. The very random group of animals heard him scream something at whoever, or more likely, whatever was holding the camera before it zoomed out to show his whole face. "So, I'm guessing you're all wondering what you're doing here, right?"

"Eggman! I should've known." Sonic said.

"But of course you didn't, again." Eggman said before continuing "You are here to be destroyed once and for all!"

"Really, and how will you do that this time." Shadow asked "A lame robot, or maybe some monstrous minion. Or, you might have went really outside the box and decided to actually give us a challenge."

"Be quiet you!" Eggman yelled threateningly at Shadow. "No, it's much worse than all that. You'll all see!"

As soon as Eggman was done talking, little arms came out of the ceiling and put little outfits on all of them.

"Mine doesn't match my outfit!" Amy yelled, looking down at her orange vest over her classic red dress with white outlines.

"Well to bad! My outfit bot ran out of colors." Eggman said.

"Well I like mine." Charmy said, looking at his little black shirt with yellow stripes. Or maybe it was yellow with black stripes.

"That robot is pretty unoriginal." Vector said looking at his plain green shirt.

"I know what you mean." Knuckles said staring at his blank red shirt.

"Cool!" Sonic said looking at his blue shirt. "Sorry you didn't get one Self." Sonic whispered to Self "It's okay buddy." Self whispered back.

"Who are you whispering at?" Eggman asked.

"Nobody." Sonic answered.

"Well, if you're all done looking at your shirts, or vest in Amy's case, my SWAT BOTS will show you to your rooms." Eggman said.

"You mean you aren't going to attack us, you're just going to separate us?" Sonic asked.

"Yep, pretty much." Eggman said "And don't worry about surprise attacks on the way, I've got something better planned.

"At least solitary confinement means I can get away from these guys." Shadow said.

"Hey!" Amy said.

"Would you people be quiet and go to your rooms!" Eggman yelled.

"Yes mommy." Shadow said before walking out the now open door followed by a troop of SWAT BOTS and the rest of the gang.

"I've got them this time. They'll see, they'll all see!" Eggman yelled before laughing maniacally.

The SWAT BOTS led each of the group to their individual cells far, far apart. Once they had gotten to their cells a voice rattled over the ships intercom.

"Ehem, I would like to announce that you are all about to be defeated once and for all. I know you probably expect some kind of monster to jump out of the wall but no. I am not going to try to defeat you through fights and battles. I will destroy you mentally!" Eggman's voice screeched over the intercom as everyone, except Charmy who was busy running in circles, gasped "Yes, you heard me. I will erase your sanity. Ruin your mental processes. By the time I'm done I won't need to destroy you! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"But I like my sanity!" Sonic yelled at the intercom.

"NOOO!" Amy screamed "THEN I WON'T LOVE SONIC!"

"In that case, the sooner the better." Sonic said.

"HEY!" Amy yelled.

"So... what's with the shirts?" asked Knuckles.

"They help me determine what kind of mental state your brain is in by sending data back to me." Eggman said. "After this is done I will have lost an enemy and gained a video of you all slowly going insane! This is awesome!"

"WHY YOU!" Knuckles yelled.

"Did I leave the intercom on?" Eggman asked.

"Yep." Shadow said.

"Oops." Eggman said before everyone heard an audible click and his voice disappeared.

Back in that dark dank cell...

"Hey Espio." Charmy said.

"What?" Espio asked.

"Can I ask you if I can ask you a question?" Charmy asked.

"Okay." Espio said.

"Can I ask you a question?" Charmy asked.

"Yes." Espio said.

"Where do igloos come from?" Charmy asked.

"...People make them." Espio said finally.

"Oh." Charmy said. "You think we'll be stuck in here for the rest of our lives?"

"I hope not." Espio answered.

"Me too, I would hate being stuck in a dark dank cell forever." Charmy said "Besides, I miss playing tag with Knuckles and Amy."

"So, you want to play a game?" Espio asked.

"But I thought you hated playing games." Charmy said.

"I do, but I thought it might cheer you up." Espio explained.

"Thanks Espio." Charmy said "Let's play that one game where you sing to pass the time."

"If you say so." Espio said.

"99 pixy sticks full of sugar on the wall, 99 pixy sticks full of sugar. You take one down, devour the whole thing, 98 pixy sticks full of sugar on the wall. 98 pixy sticks full of sugar..." Charmy and Espio started to sing.

What will happen to the Froggy Hunters? (Company needed a new name, it was getting a lot of complaints from a certain someone who can't stop complaining who just so happens to be the same color that bulls hate. I'm not going to say a name here, just take a wild guess.)
