Chapter 13- Finding The Base

Tails

Tails was so happy his idea worked. He was getting tired of being in this prison and the creepy dude was earning his name. He often sat in his office chair and stared at the ceiling, scheming up a way to get the next Curse member. He seems to have some order… “Tails, did it work?” Blaze whispered. He nodded. Let’s get out of here. Hey Sonic. ‘Ya we’re ready.’Sonic responded. ‘Wait a sec. Shadow’s running back. Let me see what’s up.’

Shadow

“Shads, what is it?” Sonic asked as the dark hedgehog skated up. “First off, don’t call me that.” Shadow said with a scowl. He continued, “Second, while I was in the forest, I came upon a large metal building. Guess what I saw walking in? Those robots. Not the ones with Knuckles and Blaze, but I think that’s the base.” “Great job Shadow! I just got a thought from Tails, meaning telepathy still works!” Sonic said excitedly. “Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Silver said. Sonic ran off ahead, along with Rouge and Omega. Cream planned on staying behind. Silver stood next to Shadow and said, “Look, I’m sorry about earlier-” “That doesn’t matter right now. Let’s get moving.” Shadow said discreetly and dashed off after the others. Silver sighed at his speed and looked after them, whispering to himself, “It’s no use.”

Rouge

It didn’t take them long to arrive at the building Shadow was talking about. It definitely was large, though. Shadow skated to a halt as he arrived. “Where’s Silver?” Rouge asked. “He failed to mention to us that he was incredibly slow as well.” Shadow said gruffly. “How’s the base look so far?” “Analysis has shown almost impenetrable exterior. Cannot read inside.” Omega reported. Silver finally arrived, panting up a storm. “Next time-can we-go-slower?” he asked between breaths. “Nope.” Sonic and Shadow said in unison. Silver groaned. As he started to recover, Rouge looked at her best friend’s face. He looked so determined in his goal. It was good seeing him like this. He was a little less grumpy than usual, which was saying something. His stared at the building with a calculating crimson gaze. “Everyone, head’s up!” Silver yelled out. Robots that were on their return trip were showing signs of excitement at finding their prey. “TARGETS SIGHTED. BEGIN ATTACK SEQUENCE.” the first one said. “Time to make our getaway. Let’s go!” Rouge yelled quickly.

Silver

Here we are, right back to where we started. Running away. This is hopeless. Silver noticed people slowing down some, as to make sure he didn’t fall behind. No, we’ll all get caught! Guys, I’ll hold them off. ‘Are you crazy? You can’t take them all yourself.’ Sonic thought. I’m not asking, I’m DOING. Now go. Silver turned to face the crowd that now slowed to a stop with him. Silver took a deep breath and started fighting. He put up an amazing fight. Only two were left. But alas, one only has so much stamina. Silver fell to the ground as bars fell around him. He put a hand to his head to clear his thoughts as he approached the place he came from. They walked him through many twists and turns until they finally stopped at a door. The robots walked in, dropped him, and left. Upon scanning his surroundings, he saw he was in a large room surrounded by the cages of his fellow Curse members. Including, “BLAZE!” Silver exclaimed. “Oh Silver, I missed you!” she responded. An evil laugh sounded from the back of the room. “Only two left. Then, I will rule THE WORLD!” He continued his laughter. Geez, what is with bad guys and their evil laugh?
