*Eggman Headquarters*

'Finally... peace.' Eggman thought, lying down in his over sized bed. Usually its quiet in the fortress at night, save for the security guards at work which usually didn't bother him. He knew what it was like when they weren't working. But tonight seemed a little to quiet.

'...Bah. Just go to sleep.' Eggman thought, letting the thought pass surrendering to the silence.

...Drip. ...Drip. ...Drip. ...Drip.

'What is that confounded noise?!' Eggman thought sitting up in bed.

...Drip. ...Drip. ...Drip. ...?

'Hm? It stopped? ...Meh. Its probably nothing.' He thought once more.

...Drip.

"GYAAAAH!" Eggman yelled, fed up with listening to it. He got up to go find the source, since obviously Orbot and Cubot couldn't.

Drip.

He followed the noice down the hall passed his main control room, in his Super Mario Bros. pajamas.

Drip.

He turned around to follow it back down the other way.

Drip.

'Gya! Where is it!' Eggman thought, turning around once again to go down the hall.

Drip.

He growled loudly and turned back around and stopped at his control room door.

Drip.

The sound came from one direction.

Drip.

Then it came from the other.

He ran down one side to find one of the sources, given that there's obviously two sources. As soon as he got down the hall, he noticed the hall getting really dark. He went down further following the dripping noise.

It kept getting louder, and louder, and louder as the hall grew darker and darker. Eventually the dripping noise was nearly in front of him. He felt around looking for the source due to the hall being too dark to see.

Then it stopped.

"...Did I fix it?" Eggman asked himself out loud, not being able to see.

"Noooo..." He heard a whispering voice tell him.

"Whose there!?" He asked and turned around.

"No oneeeee..." It said.

"Someone's there now tell me who!" Eggman told the voice.

"Why should I tell youuuuuu?" It asked.

Eggman felt his mustache begin to twirl up.

"Stop that!" he said, swatting in that direction."Wh-where are you!?" He asked finally starting to fear the voice.

"Goooooood... You fear meeeeeee... You are readyyyyyy..." It said.

"Wh-where a-are you!?" He asked again.

"Behind you." It said.

He heard a click and saw a white light eminating from behind him. He turned around slowly, fearing the voice. He turned and saw a flashlight. Just sitting there in mid air, facing upwards.

"W-w-w-what is th-th-this?!" He asked. Then a figure emerged from the shadow on the other side of the flashlight.

"N-no! St-stay away!" Eggman yelled backing up a little, fearing going back into the darkness. He fell on his back and looked up.

The figure got closer and closer slowly. Until finally, it revealed itself.

"S-Sonic!? Wha-? H-how? Wh-whe-" He was cut off when Sonic quickly flipped his head above the flashlight giving his face the shadowing affect, and opened his mouth wide, sticking his tounge out.

It wasn't the freaky face he pulled that freaked Eggman out, it was the fact the Sonic's mouth was stuffed with gooie, melted-

"CHEEEEESE! DISGUSTING!" Eggman yelled, breaking the fourth wall due to interupting the narator, and took off running at the disguting sight that frightened the over mannerly genus.

He ran down the hall as fast as he could. (which he hasn't done since Sonic the Hedgehog 2) He ran and ran to find his living quarters. He ran to the door, swung it open, and flew in it slamming the door back.

He would have jumped right into bed if it were'nt for him looking across the room, dreading what he saw.

"Sup Eggman. Got our money yet?" Vector asked with Charmy and Espio by his side.

"I have Mario Kart pajamas too!" Charmy yelled excitedly pointing at Eggman's night wear.

"These aren't pajamas! These are-" Eggman cut himself off at the sight of Vector staring at him.

Eggman slowly backed away, then took off running out the door again.

"After him boys!" Eggman heard Vector yell. Eggman ran faster trying to get away.

"Where not gonna chase him are we?" Charmy asked.

"Argh! We already went through this Charmy!" Vector yelled.

*with Eggman*

Eggman ran through the many halls of his base. Its a huge fortress with many maze like halls and robots guarding them, making it difficult for Sonic to find Eggman usually.

But not tonight. Tonight, there empty, the security robots are down, the main powers out leaving the back up generators to power certain parts of the base, and Sonic is in here! Eggman might as well give Sonic the keys to the garage.

Eggman ran into the food storage closet to hide. He turned on the light so he could find a good place to hide. He turned around quickly from the door and nearly cried at what he saw.

He saw Shadow. With an empty box of Swiss roles in one hand, and a empty Swiss role rapper in the other.

"No! No! Its not true!" Eggman yelled in greif.

Shadow stared at him like he was an idiot.

"NO! NOT THE SWISS ROLES! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled.

*just outside the base*

Big the cat was sitting outside up against the wall, in front of a secret ventalation shaft.

"Im so glad Mr. Sonic gave me a job!" He told his froggy friend.

"Ribbit." It replied.

"He even gave me a title! Yup! President of the secret escape route! Isn't that nice?" He continued.

"Ribbit! Ribbit!" The frog hopped up and down.

"Yup! Im glad I get to help out!" He said.

A yellow Hedgehog walked up to Big looking tired.

"Hey Big... Can I talk to ya?" He said.

"Sure! Me and Froggy are guarding this escape hole right now! We even get ice cream afterwards!" Big replied.

"Heh. Thanks. Ice cream sure sounds good doesn't it?" The hedgehog said sitting down.

*back with Eggman*

Eggman couldn't take the horror anymore. He busted through the closet door with all his weight, (crushing Sonic who was waiting on the other side) and took off down the halls again.

"Ugh! What did you do to him?" Sonic asked.

"I was just eating a Swiss role." Shadow replied.

Eggman ran down hall after hall, looking for a safe place. He ran into a storage room and shut the door.

He rumaged across the wall looking for a light switch. He turned around and saw a firey flame floating around and a robot, still shut down, floating around ghostly. Eggman skimmed through the wall quicker to find a switch. More robots began to start flying and more flames appeard and began to spin in a tornado fashion.

"No! Don't take me!" Eggman yelled finally turning on the back up light. He found Blaze and Silver, making weird noises and levitateing objects and fire.

"...I told you this prank would suck!" Blaze yelled at Silver.

"Well we don't prank people in the future!" Silver yelled.

Eggman secretly snuck out of the room, fearing a sissy fight.

'Wh-whats going on?! How d-did they get in here?!' Eggman thought as he ran down the hall faster.

He ran and ran until he ran out of breath. He hacked and wheezed to a stop at a corner hall.

"Ha-ha-ha... I-I think l-l-lost them..." He said between breaths.

"Yep. Gonna have a hard time finding us here!" Cubot yelled.

"Oh shush Cubot!" Orbot scolded.

"O-orbot? Cubot? H-how did you?" Eggman started until he realized that the robots where upside down.

He looked up to see Knuckles and Rouge holding both robots, blocking the way out that hall. He turned around to find Sonic and Shadow standing in front of him. He noticed Silver and Blaze blocking one direction and the Chaotix blocking the other.

"Looks like we've got our selves a Mexican stand-off!" Knuckles said.

"Wh-what do you plan on doing with me?" Eggman asked.

"Thats right! Show'em no mercy Boss! You got'em! Let'em have it!" Cubot yelled.

"You realize that we are the ones that have been defeated right?" Orbot pointed out.

"Oh... Riiiiight." It replied.

"Back to the question, what should we do with him?" Vector asked.

"Lets feed him to goldfish!" Charmy yelled.

Everyone stared at him.

"...Everyone eats goldfish. Why can't goldfish eat someone for once?" He said.

"Lets throw him off a cliff!" Shadow suggested.

"Lets feed him to Iblis!" Silver yelled.

"Who's Iblis?" Sonic asked.

"...I dont know. The name keeps replaying in my head..." He replied.

Everyone took a step away from Silver. (Blaze took two.)

"Well we have to do something. He DID cause us a lot of trouble back then." Sonic said.

Eggman was about to explode from not knowing what they where going to do. Eventually it broke out into an argument. No one knew what to actually DO now that they had Eggman.

"STOP!" Someone yelled.

They looked in the direction of the yell and were shocked to see who it was.

"You should all be ashamed of yourselves! Its not polite to prank people! Even if they do disserve it!" Cream yelled. "You should all go home right now!" She yelled.

"Ok..." Charmy said, starting to fly away.

"Oh no you don't! We don't leave until we get paid!" Vector said grabbing Charmy.

"Don't make me tell my mom on you!" Cream threatened.

Vector immediately grabbed Espio and Charmy and took off.

"See ya guys! Just mail us the money!" He yelled back.

Knuckles took off not wanting to get a talking to by Vanilla. He knew what it was like. He once said a word that Cream shouldn't have heard until she was about eighteen. (permitting her mother would let her get out much)

"Alright..." Silver said walking away. Blaze followed not wanting to look bad.

"Pff. Im not going anywhere." Shadow said.

Cream then pulled him down to her height by the ear and whispered something in his ear, very roughly.

"Rouge! Were leaving!" He said blushing and walking away angerly. Rouge just sighed and followed.

"I'm shocked at you Mr. Sonic! I thought you were a good man!" She scolded him. He looked down knowing she was right.

"You know better than to prank someone! Even if it is Dr,Eggman!" She said. Sonic nodded his head.

Cream then took her ear and started to beat Sonic upside the head with it as they left.

"Don't do that again! If I catch you pranking again than I'll bring a woopen on you!" She scolded on the way out.

Eggman was left in the middle of a hall with his two robots, completely awe struck.

"...I think that bunny rabbit saved our lives!" Cubot cheered.

Orbot shook his head.

*outside Eggman HQ*

Sonic, finally finished with the beatings Cream gave him, met up with Tails, Amy, and Big.

"Didj'ya find anything useful?" He asked.

"Well we found these Metal Sonic plans, but its just not something Eggman would make. Its different and uses different parts than Eggman uses." Tails told him. Holding out the plans.

Sonic examined them. "Anything else?" He asked.

"No. We didn't find anything else..." Amy admitted.

"Hm. And what about you Big? Anything interesting happen?" He asked the large cat.

"Nnnnnope!" Big replied.

"Good! Here ya go!" Sonic said giving Big a few rings.

"Yay! Ice cream time Froggy!" He said.

"...Froggy?" He looked around and saw nothing. He then heard a scream that sounded like Blaze.

"NOT AGAIN!" She yelled. Big took off after her.

Sonic chuckled. He then noticed Shadow waiting for him.

"Heh see ya guys!" He said than took off to Shadow.

"Ready?" Shadow asked.

"Heh! Lets take a Crack at it!" Sonic replied.
