Chapter 2 : The Debriefing
We arrived to an old shack that probably once belonged to one of my deceased family members. The shack looked decayed and frail. Sonic the Werehog knocked on the closest wall of the shack 3 times. Promptly, after the third knock Tails walked out unusually alert (it was 3 o clock in the morning).
Tails saw me, smiled, and said " Are you going to help us, Esperanza?"
I was shocked that Tails knew my name but I still answered his question. " I like helping people and you all are not the exception. However, I would like to know what I am helping you all with and how you know my name?"
"We always do research on the people we consider requesting help from in order to see if they are trustworthy and willing to help us. Once we are inside the shack, I will explain everything to you." said Tails.
The three of us entered into the shack. Tails moved a pile leaves amidst scattered clusters of leaves revealing a hatch. "How is the hatch kept covered?" I inquired. "A breeze blows leaves back onto the hatch after the hatch has been used." Tails answered. We climbed down into a secret lab filled with experiments, plans, tools, and a few chemicals.
Sonic the Werehog directed my attention to a cool looking watch. Tails grabbed it and showed me what it does.
"It's a wrist watch communicator that has a screen so you can see the person you can talk to. Besides its obvious use, it is also useful when trying to locate a person who can not disclose her/his position." said Tails.
"That's so cool I've always wanted one of those!" I exclaimed.
"Take it. You said you were going to help us , so you are going to need this."
Tails then put the wrist watch communicator on me.
Tails ushered me to table and Sonic sat down in the chair next to me while Tails sat in the one directly across from me.
" There is this strange creature that has done so much damage to our planet, that the creature made it uninhabitable. We escaped to Earth with the hope of finding the chaos emeralds in order to restore our world. Anyone who finds all of the emeralds has the power of turning our world into anything they want." explained Tails.
"So, If Dr. Eggman gets all of them than he would make your planet Eggman World." I interrupted.
"Precisely. This is why it is vital that we get the emeralds first but since we are aliens to this world we will not be able to walk around as freely as Eggman can, giving him the advantage. We have discovered that we have some allies, our fans, and we decided to seek their help after we do research on them ,of course. Obviously, you are the first one, Esperanza, we have successfully done this to : others have shocked so much they can't say a word or they actual don't want to help." said Tails.
Then the ceiling and the ground began to tremble. Sonic and I went up to see what was the matter since I live in Florida and there are never any earthquakes here. We peered though an small opening of the shack. What we saw wasn't good: there was a fleet of robots and Eggman leading them.
"Keep Searching! I know they have their base some where around here." shouted Eggman.
He's going to wake up my grandparents with all that shouting and his rampaging robots.
Sonic and I went back down into the lab. I assumed Sonic thought that it would be best to lay low until Eggman and his bots disappeared to not expose the base. I checked my wrist watch communicator to see if it had the time. It did. It was 4 o clock now. Only an hour has passed an I've been assigned a very important mission.
