Chapter 3:

After opening the door, Sonic and Tails went throw a large corridor.

"well it's not that bad for now, I actually hoped they'd be a little more challenge." Said sonic.

"regardless, stay on your toes." Said tails.

At that moment, an alert sound started ringing, And tails noticed they went throw a red laser on the ground.

"I think we triggered a trap." Said tails.

"you don't say!" said sonic.

Spikes appeared on the walls who started retracting.

Grabbing Tails's arm. Sonic started running to the other side of the corridor.

"HOW LONG IS THIS CORRIDOR ANYWAY!" yelled sonic.

But finally they reached an open door and got out of the corridor, while the walls close their only way out.

"Well this is bad." said tails.

"Bad? That almost killed us!" Said sonic, "I was waiting for a challenge but I didn't think uncle chuck would risk killing us!"

Tails didn't know what to say, so he just kept silent.

"Let's just get this over with." Said sonic.

They looked in front of them and saw a long and large gap between were they were and the exit, and a bridge that looked more like a parkour course.

"that course looks like it was build specifically for you." Noticed tails.

"I am sure you can do it too!" said sonic.

"that, or I can just fly us to the other side." Said tails.

"… oh yeah… didn't think of that…" mumbled sonic.

"I don't get how uncle chuck didn't think of that." Said tails.

"he probably didn't know you could carry and fly at the same time! That's it!" tried sonic.

"huh… Maybe."

"common let's get going!"

At Amy's house:

Amy was at home on her couch with sticks after failing to sheer up Knuckles.

"I failed, sticks." Said amy sad. "I thought I could help him but I wasn't able to. apparently his depression is way bigger then I can handle."

She stopped.

"are you listening to me?"

She looked around and noticed that sticks was no longer there.

"thanks for always being at my side bff!" said amy angry. "I can't give up! If there has to be something I can do for knuckles!... but what can I do? I should just wait for sonic and tails to come back… but what if the other letter doesn't mention him?... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

"Amy…" She heard a voice say.
"what Is that voice?" she asked.

Amy rose…
"Is that…"

ANSWER THE DOOR!

She went to the door and opened it, and Eggman was there.

"Finally! You took your time!" Yelled Eggman.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" asked amy angry.

"… I am sorry to bother you…" said Eggman scared. "I was just wondering were sonic might be, I wanted to spy on him to find the best occasion to attack him but he is nowhere to be seen."

"sonic is busy right now and…" but then she remembered, if there is one thing that always sheered knuckles up, it's beating up badnicks.

"and besides," she continued. "we don't need sonic to beat you, Knuckles and I are enough."

"Oh really!" Said Eggman angry.

"yeah you know what, since we are good sports we'll give you time to prepare, meet you at Meh burger in half an hour!".

"FINE! But this is not a date!" said Eggman before going.

Back At sonic and tails's side:

Sonic and tails were now walking in a narrow path above spikes.

"what's with the spikes everywhere!" complained sonic.

"you always had troubles with pointy things, I guess that's why." Said tails.

"maybe…"

"sonic, all those traps and tests were designed for you." Said tails.

"don't be ridiculous! Why would he ask both of us to go if it was only to test me!" said sonic making a fake laugh.

"that's exactly my question, sonic please give me that letter." Said tails.

"I don't think it's the best moment…"

"there is enough place to stand and read."

"I really don't…"

"give it to me sonic!"

"FINE HE DIDN'T ASK YOU TO COME! HAPPY!" yelled sonic.

There was a long moment of silence, that tails broke.

"you lied to me." Said tails.

"I know and I am sorry!" said sonic.

"why?! You didn't think I could handle the truth!" asked tails angry.

"No! it's because I couldn't handle it!" admitted sonic.

"what do you mean?" asked tails.

Sonic stayed silent for a moment then said:

"Uncle Chuck was my hero, for me his was the best father a hedgehog or a fox and even an echidna could dream of, but then I read this message. It was bad enough that didn't mention neither shadow and knuckles, it was worst that he didn't even mention you!" said sonic. "and now his traps almost killed us; it's like I didn't even know him before!"

But then the path they were walking on collapsed and they started falling.

"NO THE SPIKES ARE GOIN TO KILL US!" Yelled sonic.

"we are no longer above spikes!" noticed tails, "we are above water!"

"THIS IS WORST!"

Meh burger:

Knuckles was still drinking milkshakes at the same table, Amy was sitting next to him, looking at her watch while waiting for Eggman.

"You are going to pay for all the milkshakes aren't you?" asked Dave.

"Put them on Eggman's note." Said Knuckles.

"Talking about Eggman, isn't that him coming this way?" Asked amy.

"maybe." Said knuckles in a monotone voice.

"it looks like he fixed his obligator bot!" said amy.

"yeah sure."

"he's probably gonna try to destroy us!"

"as usual."

Eggman arrived in his egg mobile accompanied by his Obligator bot.

"Today rodents is the day of your doom!" said Eggman laughing.

"Bla, bla, your doom, bla, bla, Evil Laugh, Bla, bla sonic beats you." Said knuckles still uninterested.

"what's with him?" asked Eggman.

"uncle chuck didn't mention him in his last letter." Answered Amy.

"What? Charles didn't… no your joking right?" said Eggman. We're talking about the guy who gave my grandfather a Christmas card, AFTER HE TRIED TO ROBOTICIEZ HIS NEFEW!"

"I thought that fighting you might sheer him up a bit, but it didn't work." Said amy.

"well news like that could kill Anyone." Remarked Eggman.

"New mission: Kill everyone!" said the obligator bot.

"No I didn't ask that!" yelled Eggman. "What are you doing!"

The bot attacked Eggman with his chainsaw, he tried to dodge but the Egg mobile got hit.

"I am losing control! NOOO!" yelled Eggman while he flew in the air and crashed far away.

The bot then grabbed Amy.

"LET ME GO!" Yelled Amy. "Oh I see I get kidnaped just because I am girl!"

Seeing that Amy got kidnapped, Knuckles got up from the chair and headed to the obligator bot.

"You leave the lady alone, Or else!" Yelled knuckles.

The bot attacked him with his chainsaw and knuckles jumped to dodge.

"why are they never afraid of "Or Else"?" asked knuckles to himself.

"Chaos Spear!" he heard from not far.

A spear hit the bot on his chest making him drop Amy, Then Sticks ran and got her before she hit the ground.

"My hero!" said Amy.

"looks like we can't leave you guys alone," said shadow walking next to Knuckles. "Let's obliterate the obligator."
