Chapter Twelve

After an hour the ship hit land and the anchor was dropped. Everyone apart from the Eggman, Mephiles and the two robots left the ship. They were now standing on a sandy beach that was deserted for miles.

"Can someone please help me get these things off?" Knuckles complained as he danced about trying to shake off the three blob creatures that seemed to be able to stick like glue to fur.

"They are your babies Knux, so live with that fact!" Sonic called out with amusement, finding the display very funny.

"Yeah you were the one who put most of that stuff into the pot when I said not to!" Blaze called out as she too found it funny to see Knuckles stress out with three blobs attached to him and waving himself about like a crazy man.

"This actually has reminded me of something Captain Faker. Omega has asked if we can set Metal Sonic free." Shadow casually muttered over to Sonic but also kept a reasonable distance between them both.

"Oh yeah why is that then?" Sonic raised a brow as he slightly turned his head to look at Shadow.

Shadow smirked then whispered what he caught them both doing and soon Sonic was sniggering at the image of two robots having robot sex in front of Eggman and Mephiles. Shadow moved away when he was finished explaining then waited for Sonic to calm down as he was laughing a little more.

"Y-yeah s-sure. Oh chaos this trip is awesome and so funny." Sonic said as he tried to calm his fits of laughter.

"Yeah careful Captain Faker, you don't want to wet yourself. I'll go tell Omega his sex toy is free but cannot wander the ship unsupervised." Shadow shook his head then chaos controlled to do just that.

Shadow was also planning to tell Eggman he is still in the process of convincing Sonic to let him out too but it might take a few days to do so. When Shadow finally returned everyone was scouting the beach in both directions as Sonic stood near the ship. Shadow appeared next to Sonic with a small frown as he had a little message to give him from Eggman.

"Captain Faker, the Dr has a message for you. He wishes to be freed and be apart of your crew. He states a bunch of crap that involves having to be present when his so called killing machine is busy with Omega and doesn't want to be there when they have sex. Had a rant about Metal being an utter failure and a huge disappointment too. Omega had given Metal the job of being his assistant if that is alright with you. So in other words Eggman wants to be out of that cell to avoid being witness to two robots getting busy." Shadow seriously said with arms crossed and having a slight amused expression in his red eyes.

"I was kind of waiting for good old Eggy to make that sort of request but maybe not having that excuse to be freed. I'll have a little think about it and visit him tomorrow after he has watched some live robot porn. I want you to scout this forest of trees for anything that we can take as food, you can take Knuckles with you since he is well adjusted to this type of environment." Sonic grinned as he spoke back to Shadow with amusement in his eyes at Eggmans predicament in the cells.

"Whatever you say Captain Faker. Hey Knuckles we have to scout the forest for food to take aboard the ship, stop playing with your children and get moving!" Shadow shrugged as he spoke back to Sonic then turned around and shouted to a flapping Knuckles trying to get those blobs off his fur.

Knuckles suddenly stopped and began to walk over to Sonic and Shadow with a very grumpy expression on his face.

"I am blaming you lab-hog for this." Knuckles growled as he spoke to Shadow, narrowing his eyes at the black hedgehog

"Considering you are the one who made them and if you dare insult me again I will skin you alive and stew what it left. Now shut up and lets get moving. The quicker we scout for food the quicker we can leave this piece of dead-beat island." Shadow aggressively growled back with rage in his red eyes at what Knuckles had called him.

"Wow you sound just like your father Shads." Sonic commented with a slightly shocked tone, raised a brow in concern for his red furred friend.

"And you sound just like an immature infant on a field trip, at least I do not pretend to be someone I am not Faker." Shadow seriously said as he narrowed his eyes at Sonic, not liking the fact that now two beings had compared him with his alien father.

Shadow after that stormed off and disappeared into the forest of trees, not caring if Knuckles was following him or not. Sonic and Knuckles exchanged a glance at one another before Knuckles quickly followed Shadow into the forest, with his blob children still clutching onto his fur.

"You seem to have really pissed my brother off, I can feel his rage from all the way over there." Eclipse appeared next to Sonic and pointed off in the far distance he ones was.

"I was just having an opinion on Shadows behaviour towards Knuckles, I didn't mean to seriously piss him off." Sonic frowned a little unhappily as he spoke back to Eclipse.

With Amy and Cream…

"Wow look at this one Cream." Amy called to the rabbit as she picked up a large shell from the sand.

"Wow that is bigger than the one we found a moment ago." Cream replied as she came running over to Amy and smiled sweetly as she spoke back.

They had decided to collect some pretty looking shells to decorate the crows nest to their liking and with anything else they came across.

"Oh wow look Amy, a cute little turtle. I wonder if Captain Sonic will let us keep it as a pet?" Cream said with hope as she rushed over to said animal trying to make its way to the sea from the edge of the forest of trees.

"I don't know Cream, I don't think it would be very kind for the baby turtle to be stuck on a ship. It belongs out in the wild and swimming with all its friends. How about we help get it to the sea." Amy said with a sincere voice then smiled at Cream as Cream nodded in agreement.

Amy whipped out her hammer and planned to whack any birds of prey that came too near the baby as it made its way to the sea. The girls knew they shouldn't touch it or pick it up and it needed to make its own way to sea. So they did the next best thing, a little bird wracking and crab kicking.

"Take that!" Amy cried out as she hit a bird that dared to swoop down towards the poor innocent baby turtle.

"Amy behind you!" Cream shouted as she pointed to another bird that wanted turtle for lunch.

"Got it." Amy said then swung her hammer at the right moment and knocked the bird out, it landing far away on the beach unconscious.
