"Talking"
Chap: 4 Round 2 in the Jungle
Sonic smirked when Raul explained that he was one of the fastest things in Mobius.
"Oh really?? How about a little race to prove so?" said the hedgehog as he warmed up.
"Heh… you sure?" said Raul as he threw his swords and jacket aside, leaving him only his spear.
Sonic then got ready as if he was waiting on the mark to run. Raul too got in position but the race was withheld as two other Mobians came over.
" Lt. Puma! We're under attack! Several other intruders have been spotted in the forest!" said one of them.
"What do they look like?" he asked as he grabbed his spear, fearing that they would attack.
"A yellow fox, a red echidna, a white bat, a tan rabbit , a purple cat, and 3 hedgehogs, one black and red, one pink, and the other silver!" said the scout.
Raul looked at Sonic and saw his face changed from alarm to normal.
"Friends of yours?" asked Raul as he looked at the blue hedgehog.
"Yeah…" said Sonic as Raul nodded. Raul turned back and looked at the scouts.
"Report this to Her Highness, and then return to your posts. Me , Lt. Ocelot and Bear will take care of this." said Raul as he dismissed the two scouts.
"Max, Rose! C'mon! We got company!" yelled Raul as the Ocelot and Bear ran over them, both brandishing their weapons. Raul then looked at Sonic and smiled,
"Wanna tag along? The Freedom Fighters could use ya." he said as the two other members came behind them.
"Heh…sure, sounds like you may want some help." said Sonic as he grabbed his swords he had earlier.
"Then lets make it hot!" said Raul as he started to run.
This surprised the fastest thing alive as he saw that Raul wasn't lying. He COULD match Sonic in speed, but smirking he then ran after the Puma. He easily caught up with him and smirked as he saw Raul laugh at him. The puma then turned around and ran backwards. The latter laughed and did the same as the puma.
"Show Off!" yelled Raul as he turned forward and ran normal.
"Copycat!" shouted Sonic as he too ran normally.
They continued to streak down the aquatic ridden area as Rose and Max both ran as fast hell to keep up with the two speedsters.
X-Tornado Camp
Meanwhile Tails had started to repair the plane. Even though he was able to return to the Mystic Ruins, he felt bad for leaving Sonic in the jungle. That and sore from where Amy had smacked him with her hammer for trying to deny a search party for Sonic. After a few moments of calling his fellow members, they returned to the area where Sonic was last reported at.
"No luck here!" yelled Knuckles as he came back with an irritate Rouge.
"We swept up and down the entire area west of here! No dice fox-boy!" replied the Bat as she landed next to Knuckles.
"Shit…Tails to Chaotix, anything in your end?!" asked Tails as he chirped the detectives on their radio.
"No…nothing here Tails! Espio and Charmy came up dry as well!" said Vector on the radio.
"Omega, anything on your?" asked Rouge to her com device.
"Negative. Shadow and I have found no traces of Sonic in the northern section." replied the robot as Shadow returned with both a shake of his head and a grim face.
"Silver? Anything on your end?" asked Amy as she started to worry.
"Blaze here! I got nothing, and neither does Silver!!" screamed the female pyromancer as her friend returned with nothing either.
"Dammit! Cream! Anything!?" asked Tails on the channel.
Cream and Cheese voice came up with nothing on their end as well.
"All clear here, Tails. No sign of Mr. Sonic here! Wait…Cheese says he saw something!" said the young rabbit as she saw her chao fly slightly towards an area of foliage. She followed the chao.
She then collided with Rose as she walked through. Both were on the ground but Rose got up and saw the teenage rabbit on the ground. Offering her hand too the rabbit, she helped her up.
"I'm sorry…are you ok, miss?" asked Rose as she pulled Cream up.
"I'm ok…I'm sorry, my chao here and I were looking for someone." said the young hare as she smiled politely at the ocelot.
"Well who are you looking for? I can help ya!" asked Rose as she smiled at the little girl.
Just then the bushes behind Cream began to move. Grabbing her Chakarams, Rose ushered Cream behind her. Cream got behind her and held Cheese tight to her for safety. The bushes pulled apart and closed but Rose wasn't fooled. She knew someone was there, and they may intend harm to either the little girl or her.
"Come out right now, and I promise I won't whip your sorry be-hind that hard!" she said angrily as the silence continued to greet her.
"Let the girl go first, then we'll play…" said a voice as it threw a shuriken was hurled toward her. She simply deflected it with a lazy wave of her pinwheels and smirked.
"It'll take a lot more than a simple throwing knife to take me down!" she taunted.
"Then how about this!" said the voice as a purple chameleon appeared beside her and kicked her from the side. This threw Rose off guard for a second, but she easily recovered from the attack. The chameleon then smirked at this and threw three more kunai at her and ran at her with two in hand.
Deflecting them, Rose then threw one of her chakarams at the attacker , causing the person to back flip over it and land on his feet. The weapon then sailed back to its owner as the two fighters stared each other down.
"Pretty fancy moves there, lizard boy…what's your name? I want to remember it when I kick your ass." she smirked at the ninja who got up.
"A ninja never reveals his name to his foe. Only after he dies he does so…" said the chameleon.
"Espio…DUCK!" yelled a voice as a bee was hurled toward the ocelot, stinger extended. Rose then ducked and dodged the incoming bug's attack. She then turned to see it bounce off the tree behind her and tried to sting her again.
He landed on his feet when she dodge the attack again. The bee then got up and smirked at the ocelot.
"I did that on purpose, I didn't have to miss you know," said the bee as he stood by Espio.
"I believe you. Now mind telling me why you're trying to kill me and that rabbit?" said Rose as she raised her chakarams again, in a defensive stance.
"We just heard her radio broke and her cry. We thought you were attacking her." said Espio as he put his kunai away and bowed his head in an apologetic way. Charmy too then did the same.
" Well as long we're good. Who are you guys?" she asked as she put her weapons away. The rabbit got up and walked beside them as well.
" I'm Charmy Bee. The flyer and mascot of the Chaotic Detective Agency." said Charmy as he shook Rose's hand.
"I'm Espio the Chameleon, ninja master and detective for the CDA as well." said Espio as he nodded his head at her.
"And my name is Cream the Rabbit. This is Cheese, my best friend and loyal Chao." said Cream as she did a curtsy at the ocelot as Cheese smiled as well.
"Nice to meet ya! I'm Rosemary the Ocelot. But please call me Rosie or Rose." said Rose as she shook their hands again.
"What brings you guys out here??" she asked but was interrupted by the sound of a explosion.
"The others!! Esp, Cream, we gotta go back!" said Charmy as he looked over at the foliage.
"Time to choose…friend or foe?" asked Espio as he looked at Rose.
"…I'll help." she said as she walked with them.
Meanwhile
"Now just surrender and I'll just take you prisoner! I say that it sounds like a fair price for your lives!" shouted Eggman as he appeared over the Heroes in his damage plane that Tails and Amy had fought earlier, along with a battalion of his robots, all armed with swords and guns.
"Not on your life, Eggman!" Shouted Amy as she ran at him. Tail brought up the rear with Knuckles and Rouge flying support. However before they got to them, a flash of blue appeared and struck the first three robots that appeared.
"SONIC!" the group cried as the blue hedgehog appeared in front on Eggman's plane.
"Missed me??" asked Sonic as Eggman made a move to snatch him. Moving away from the fat scientist, Sonic stand on top of his head and smirked.
"Too slow chubby!" he joked as he back flipped off Eggman's head and kicked him hard in the nose.
"AARGH! You persistent blue pest! I'll make Barbequed Hog outta you and your friends when I get done with you!!!" yelled Eggman as he pressed a button on his HUD. The robots then charged after the Heroes and started their attack.
Sonic then threw out one of his rings at one of the group of the robots. He then used his Light Dash on them and made a bee-line towards them as Tails pulled out a silver rod and pressed a button. Out of base of it came a red light that made the weapon look like a light saber, and started to strike at the robots as well.
Knuckles then strapped on his Shovel Claws and started his attack on the robots, using only his bare hands and feet while Rouge took to the sky and started to axe kick the robots from above, easing some of Knuckle's burden.
As for Silver and Blaze, a group charge after them. Combing Silver psychic energy and Blaze's mastery over fire, they manage to either scorch or rip apart the group that attack them. Amy continued to use her Piko-Piko Hammer to either smash or knock them away from her and eventually made her way to Sonic who had pulled out the two swords he had earlier and started to attack the horde of mechanical minions with both his speed and his swordplay.
Shadow himself started to glow with Chaos Energy and started to throw both spears and burst of energy at the ones that tried to attack him. As for Omega and Vector, the robot unleashed a barrage of bullets and missiles at the horde of enemies while Vector started to maw them with either his bare hands or his powerful jaw.
This kept up for a good five minutes till Sonic, more tired of the group was knocked aside as Eggman got close for the kill.
"Any last words!?" asked the maniacal scientist as he place the gun to Sonic's throat.
"Nope…just this…behind ya." said the hedgehog as he looked over Eggman's shoulder.
"Like I'm going to fall for that…" said Eggman as he cocked the gun.
"Then you really aren't as smart as you boast…fat-man!" said Raul as he swung his spear at Eggman's cheek, knocking the man off of Sonic.
"What the….Who are you?!" asked the scientist as he pressed his hand over the part where Raul had struck him.
"Some one who's going to kick the ever loving crap outta ya for hurting my friend." said the Puma as he charged Eggman with a fury in his eye that the others back off from.
The robot then shifted their attention from the others and towards the one attacking their master. Eggman then laughed evilly at the Puma and taunted.
"Lets see if you can beat my drones! KILL THAT PUMA!!"
The robots started to rush him as Eggman watched gleefully, hoping that the puma would back down in fear or beg for mercy. Instead the puma just stood there and looked at the on coming horde and then smirked.
"I could use the exercise…" as he said this he charged towards them, spear drawn, and began his attack.
The others could only watch as the army and the puma could only began to collide.
Cliffhanger! Well lets see if he does make it. Anyway hope you guys like it so far, cause I'll post again later on. Till then, Review will ya!? It's not gonna kill YA!
