Thank you to the Guest who had been reviewing my one-shots! It's nice to know that you like them! ^_^ And since you all wanted to know what will happen after Sonic & Silver's escape from the pirate ship, then here it is! Plus, you will see many other couples in this pirate one-shot!


Sonic hugged his brother tightly, not wanting to let go. "Sonia, Uncle Chuck, and I couldn't sleep well after you vanished. Even Gears wouldn't rest until he figured out where you and Gadget could be."

Manic hugged him back, patting his quills. "But now, you can all rest well because we're right here."

Gadget, who finished hugging Silver, nodded. "I really miss everyone back on the island, especially my older brother Gears. You mentioned he hadn't been sleeping well?"

"I'm afraid so. We had to convince Gears to at least get a full 8 hours of sleep so he wouldn't get exhausted," Sonic inquired.

"Luckily, he heeded our advice and made sure he is eating and resting well," Silver added.

"Thank you," Gadget breathed out a sigh of relief, then scanned his surroundings. "I never knew Boney Island would actually look like this."

"I hear ya," Manic said, breaking his hug with Sonic as he placed one hand on his cocked hip. "But I can see why this place is dubbed spooky."

Sonic agreed. "We already escaped from those pirates, ended up on this island, found each other, and now we gotta get off this island."

"Except one problem," Silver raised his finger up. "Our dinghies got destroyed from the whirlpools surrounding Boney Island, so we don't have anything for transportation."

"Plus, no one ever comes to Boney Island due to rumors about a cursed ruin located at the center of the island," Gadget gulped. "We also can't call out for help because there's a chance the pirates would find us again."

Sonic frowned, remembering how they ended up on Boney Island. After morning came, Silver was able to spot the island not far from where they were, and Sonic was able to paddle over at superspeed, except he had no idea there would be whirlpools guarding the place. Luckily, thanks to Silver, they were able to float away from their destroyed dinghy and land on the sandy shore, away from the deep ocean.

They searched on the sandy side of the island to see if they can get a hint on where they could be, until they spotted Manic & Gadget in the same predicament as they were. Thankfully, after their tearful reunion, none of them got hurt. However, their outfits were different.

Manic wore an opened white sleeveless shirt with a black short-sleeved vest over it that reached his thighs, a black belt with a golden buckle wrapped around his waist, a fishnet stocking on his left leg while the other stocking is black with a white skull and cross bones design on it, low-heeled red and white boots with spikes on them, a black choker with spikes around his neck, brown fingerless gloves, a black bandana with swirls on them tied around his forehead, two golden hoop earrings pierced at his left ear, and a silver drum-shaped medallion necklace hung around his neck.

Gadget wore a white turtleneck sweater with a dark brown coat over it that had yellow buttons, brown gauntlet gloves, a leather hip bag to store his compartments, dark brown boots, and black framed glasses. But what caught Sonic's attention is the necklace hung around Gadget's neck, which is a silver pendant with a blood red stone on it.

"Manic. Gadget. Who kidnapped you both?" Sonic asked, when they started walking into the dark forest.

Manic frowned, folding his arms as he recalled what happened. "We were on our way to meet you guys at the marketplace when we accidentally bumped into a couple of strangers near the port. Surprisingly, they weren't from around here, but I had a bad feeling in my gut that we should avoid them."

Gadget nodded his head in agreement. "We apologized, but the creepy green hedgehog wouldn't stop drooling over Manic. His friend, a jackal who had a ruby necklace, asked me if I was a scholar, and I told him I'm an apprentice for a famous scholar on our island." He rubbed his head. "Next thing I remember, I was taken as his prisoner on his ship, and I ended up learning that the person I met is Captain Infinite the Jackal, the most feared pirate in all the seas, along with his Jackal Squad members."

"So that's who he was," Silver replied, remembering what Mephiles & Shadow told him and Sonic. "Please continue."

"He wanted me to study a map in order to find a rare jewel that is said to grant tremendous power to those who obtain it. If I refused to help him, he wouldn't hesitate to hurt me and my family, so I had no choice but to comply."

Gadget rubbed his left arm. "The rest of his crew were nice to me, and Captain Infinite sometimes likes to compliment me or tease me, mostly because I accidentally called him hot when I got a good look at his appearance."

Manic groaned. "That's the one thing you should never say to a pirate. When I got captured by the pervert who called himself Captain Scourge, he thought me insulting him meant I was flirting with him, which nearly placed my butt in danger. I had to be extremely careful not to be alone with him, and find some good hiding places on his ship during my captivity." He stroked a piece of hair behind his ear. "His crew, known as the Destructix, were wary of me, but didn't mess with me under the captain's orders, so no one was dumb enough to lay a hand on me."

He placed his hands behind his head. "Thankfully, I was able to come up with a plan to help me escape from that creep by making him believe I wanted to kiss him. I secretly drugged his drink, got him to drink it, got the drug to knock him out before he could pounce on me, stole some of his gold, and high-tailed it out of there while keeping myself hidden from his crew."

"I was able to sneak off of the Jackal ship by waiting for everyone to be dead asleep in the middle of the night, get the supplies needed for survival, found a dinghy, and used the oars to paddle myself away from the ship and all the way over to this island," Gadget finished his story.

"You almost got molested by a pervert!?" Sonic seethed, feeling his big brother mode activate. "He's dead once I see him!"

"Thankfully, Infinite and his crew didn't hurt you, Gadget," Silver frowned. "Let's hope he & I never cross paths with each other."

"Easy, you two. We're fine, and they'll never find us here," Manic reassured them.

"We should focus on finding a way out of here," Gadget smiled. "But what about you two? How did you end up on this island?"

Sonic rubbed the back of his head. "We went out looking for you both, got captured by a pirate ship, met their captains who were known as Shadow & Mephiles, became their prisoners, flirted with them by accident, found Amy & Knuckles there working for the captains, came up with a plan to get out of there, stole their dinghy, whirlpool destroyed it, and here we are!"

"…."

"…"

"AMY & KNUCKLES ARE PIRATES!?"


They made it out of the forest, arriving at a huge clearing where there is a giant stone statue shaped like a diamond. Symbols were engraved on the stone statue, which intrigued Gadget as he got a closer look to see what they mean.

"I don't believe it!" Gadget gasped. "It's actually real!"

"Which is?" Sonic questioned.

Gadget spun around to face him. "This stone statue had been replicated to resemble the legendary Master Emerald - said to have been destroyed thousands of years ago in order to protect this world from the wrath of Chaos."

He turned his head to look back at the symbols. "I remembered reading a book about it once. Chaos, the god of destruction, is a water spirit who created the 7 legendary Chaos Emeralds – combined to become the powerful Master Emerald as we see in front of us. He is the first known guardian of the Chaos Emeralds, said to have watched over a colony in ancient times."

Gadget studied the symbols. "Many mobians had feared him, except for one. A female echidna from the Echidna Tribe, named Tikal, saw Chaos as a kind and gentle spirit who only wants peace in the world, not destruction. She would visit Chaos every day, and soon, they both fell in love."

"There's a bad ending, isn't there?" Sonic interrupted.

"I'm afraid so. The chief of the Echidna Tribe wanted to have the Chaos Emeralds to dominate the world by their sacred powers. He got his clansmen to help him obtain the Chaos Emeralds, and Tikal tried to stop them. Believing she is betraying them for the God of Destruction, the chief killed her right in front of Chaos, incurring his wrath as he transformed into his true form, destroying the tribe and everything in his path.

Due to all the annihilation he committed, Chaos took the emeralds to another location in order to stay hidden, as he sealed himself inside the Master Emerald after they combined. Unfortunately, the gods heard about what he did and had no choice but to destroy the emeralds, not wanting Chaos to commit destruction on the world."

Gadget lightly touched the symbols with his fingertips. "No one is certain on who created this stone statue of the Master Emerald, but it is said the gods wanted to leave a piece of history here for those who wish to remember Chaos."

Silver sniffed, wiping his eyes. "It truly is a sad legend."

Sonic frowned. "I feel bad for both Chaos & Tikal. All they wanted is peace and harmony, but their hopes were shattered because of greed."

Manic folded his arms. "Even though the Emeralds no longer exist, at least Chaos & Tikal are together again."

"Not according to the rumors," Gadget studied the giant stone structure.

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.

"During my time on the Jackal ship, I was in the mess hall with the rest of his squad. I overheard one of them mention about a shiny green emerald that resembled what Chaos had created. The location is said to be on an island that is impossible to reach due to it being haunted."

"A shiny jewel hidden in a haunted island? I definitely wanna see that," Manic smirked.

"Only if we're crazy enough, bro," Sonic said, studying the symbols. "Any idea on what these symbols mean?"

Silver squinted his eyes. "I'm not familiar with this language."

Manic spotted a symbol, placing his finger on it. "I know this carving! It's a musical note!"

Sonic looked at it. "Hey, you're right!"

Gadget studied the carvings more. "I think this section is a music sheet. It's the first time I've seen something like this."

"But what song is it?" Silver scratched the side of his head.

Sonic smirked. "Manic, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Manic grinned. "I sure do!"

Touching their medallions, a blast of colored light came out to reveal their instruments: Sonic's electric guitar and Manic's drums. Studying the music symbols, they started playing, getting a good idea on what the song is.

Sonic:
Mm, yeah
Mirrors, they never lie
Don't see myself inside
Why can't I get it right?
I don't know
You're always watching me fall
Shadows, they like my wall
Why do I feel so small?
I don't know

Sonic & Manic:
So I walk into the dead of night
Where my monsters like to hide
Chaos feels so good inside
Now I know
I lost, I lost, I lost control again
Always do the same and not to blame, I lost control again
I don't, I don't, I don't know who I am
Always do the same and not to blame, I lost control again

Manic:
Ooh
Tired of being afraid
But lately, I lost my faith
What is love without pain?
It ain't home
You're watching me, but I'm below
When I get caught, I hope
This is kind of like how they will
Take me home

Sonic & Manic:
So I walk into the dead of night
Where my monsters like to hide
Chaos feels so good inside
Now I know
I lost, I lost, I lost control again
Always do the same and not to blame, I lost control again
I don't, I don't, I don't know who I am
Always do the same and not to blame, I lost control again
I know that I'm a mess
But I ain't trying to be the best
Oh, whatever's coming next
I better pray-ay-ay-ay
Never said I was an angel
I am damaged all the way
So whatever's coming next
I better pray-ay-ay-ay
I lost, I lost, I lost control again
Always do the same and not to blame, I lost control again
I don't, I don't, I don't know who I am
Always do the same and not to blame, I lost control again

As they finished playing, the giant stoned Emerald started to glow, unleashing a tall wave of light towards the sky, shining brightly that caused the boys to cover their eyes. Once the light faded away, they uncovered their eyes, and gasped. Instead of the giant stoned structure of the Master Emerald, floating in front of them where it once rested is a Cyan Emerald.

"A Chaos Emerald," Gadget whispered in awe. "The legend is real."

"Holy moly," Sonic breathed out, as his instrument vanished back into his medallion.

Manic let his instrument back inside his own medallion, as he stared at the Chaos Emerald in awe. "It's glorious."

Silver nodded. "But how is it possible?"

"Looks like there's more to the story than we realize," Gadget said. "If we want our answer, then we can only get it from Chaos."

The Cyan Emerald started to move, floating over to where Sonic is until it rested in his hands. Surprised at how warm and lightweight it is, Sonic carefully held the Cyan Emerald up in front of him. "I remember hearing stories about what the Chaos Emeralds are like from Uncle Chuck. He mentioned that 7 of them have different colors, and they symbolize something."

"Since this one is a cyan color, it represents spirit," Manic inquired.

Gadget quickly wrote it down in his mini journal. "What a discovery! We're the first ones to see this Chaos Emerald with our very own eyes!"

"Do you think the pirates are looking for those Chaos Emeralds?" Silver questioned.

"Who knows? But right now, we still need to figure out how to get home," Sonic said. "Any idea how?"

"How about you give us the Emerald instead?"

They froze, slowly turning their heads to see Captain Shadow, Mephiles, and their crew appearing from the woods. His lips stretched into a dark smirk as he eyed the Cyan Emerald held in Sonic's hands. "Hand it over to us, and we'll return you all back home."

Sonic glared at him, holding the Cyan Emerald close to him. "No way! We know it's a trap!"

"So you're not gullible? Good to know."

"How'd you even find us here!?"

Mephiles was the first to answer. "A giant beam of light rose from Boney Island, filling our minds with curiosity on what had happened there. Imagine our surprise when we saw no whirlpools or giant sharp boulders blocking us from entering the island."

"We even found the damaged dinghy you stole us, letting us know you were able to reach here," Shadow finished. "Since you 4 were kind enough to find one of the Chaos Emeralds, it's time to hand it over to us."

Manic narrowed his eyes, spotting Knuckles & Amy nearby. "What the hell!? Knuckles & Amy are pirates as well!?"

"It's actually true!?" Gadget gasped in fright.

"Manic? Gadget?" Amy was surprised to see them. "You were able to find them!?"

"And yes! It's true! We are pirates, so deal with it!" Knuckles frowned. "Now hand over the Emerald and we'll return you 4 back to Seaside Island!"

Then, they heard rustling nearby and two mobians appeared not far from where they are, along with more pirates who are with them. Sonic studied the new individuals, eyes widening in shock as he saw it was a green hedgehog and a jackal with a ruby necklace on. "Wait a minute, are those two your kidnappers!?"

Silver looked back and forth between the two mobians and his friends. "They fit the description of Scourge & Infinite, correct?"

Manic cursed, glaring at Scourge. "Fucking hell! Now this situation has gotten worse!"

Scourge grinned evilly, as he stared at Manic. "I finally found you, vixen~ You still owe me a kiss and your body~"

"Stay away from my brother, you perverted bastard!" Sonic shielded Manic, glaring daggers at Scourge. "Unless you want a nasty beating!"

"Bring it on, blue! I ain't scared of you!"

"Enough!" Shadow ordered, then glared at the Jackal who was glaring at him. "Why are you two here!? For the Chaos Emerald!?"

Infinite scoffed. "What do you expect? All of us want the same thing, and it's the Chaos Emerald the blue hedgehog has in his hands." He then saw Gadget, causing him to snarl. "As for you, I never gave you permission to leave my ship."

"You kidnapped me, remember!? I was kept there as a prisoner!" Gadget glared at him.

"You're also mine! Do not forget that I gave you that necklace, which makes you part of my pack!"

"Huh!? You gave me this necklace!?" Gadget pointed to the silver pendant with the blood red stone on it.

"I did, and you're considered my property," Infinite ushered him over with his finger. "Now come to me at once with the Chaos Emerald."

"No thank you! I'm staying with my friends!"

"Then you leave me no choice but to use force, little wolf."

Sonic, Silver, Manic, and Gadget backed away, staying close to each other as they eyed each and every pirate about to make a move, waiting for their captains to give them permission to strike. Seeing that they have no other choice, Sonic placed the emerald in his quills, whispered to Silver to activate his powers once he gives them the signal, grabbed Manic & Gadget's hands, and used his superspeed to get them out of there.

The pirates were surprised at what they saw, but this angered the captains as they ran after them, ordering their crew to catch up and block off all the exits so they wouldn't escape. Sonic kept Manic and Gadget close to him, while Silver flew thanks to his psychic abilities. Since they were in a different area of the jungle, they had to be careful to avoid anything that could stop them such as tree branches or dangerous animals.

Sprinting to a new direction in order to confuse the pirates, Sonic scanned his surroundings. "Silver, can you fly up and see if the exit is nearby!?"

"I'll try!" Silver flew up, looking around quickly and then flew back down before he could be seen. "Just up ahead is the beach! I see a ship, so we just need to go straight and get on that ship!"

"If its empty, I can sail us out of here!" Manic added.

"Then let's hurry! We gotta get out of here before they find us!" Gadget exclaimed.

They were able to get out of the forest, but something tackled Sonic from behind, causing him to fall onto the ground and release his grip on Manic & Gadget, both tumbled away from him. Feeling both his wrists pinned to his back along with a hand pinning his head to the ground, Sonic turned his head a bit, growling as he saw who it was. "Let me go, Shadow!"

Shadow chuckled darkly, as he leaned down and whispered in his ear. "There's nowhere for you to escape, Sonic. You're finished."

Sonic struggled, wiggling around but soon stopped when he felt something hard poking his back. "Don't even think about stabbing me!"

"Then you must behave," Shadow tied his wrists and body with rope, getting up as he pulled Sonic to his feet.

Sonic's eyes widened in horror as he saw his brother and friends captured by the pirates. Mephiles used his dark tendrils to tie up Silver, rendering him immobile so he wouldn't escape from his grip. Manic was wrapped in a huge bear hug from behind by a giant ape, kicking his legs as he struggled to get out of his grip, but to no avail as Scourge grinned devilishly. Gadget held his hands up in surrender as Infinite & the Jackal Squad pointed their swords at him, surrounding him in a circle so he wouldn't escape.

"Let them go right now!" Sonic seethed. "You said you wanted the Chaos Emerald, right!? Let us go, and I'll hand it over!"

"I don't think so," Shadow pulled Sonic back, feeling a strong body pressed against his quills. "Only one pirate group can have the Chaos Emeralds, which is why I'll be the one to obtain it first." His hot breath blew against Sonic's ear. "Thankfully, now I know how the Emeralds are discovered."

Before Sonic could ask, something hit the back of his neck, causing him to black out.
