You probably already knew who the characters in this is… Sorry. Off side track. BACK TO THE STORY

A blue hedgehog was running through a maze of broken robot parts and VERY long hallways. With a red echidna, a pink hedgehog with a red Piko Piko Hammer, and an orange fox with 2 tails. They came to 2 different hallways.

"Oh this is just grand!" the red echidna said sarcastically, "which way is it?!"

"Calm down Knucklehead," said the blue hedgehog.

"What do you suppose we do?" Knuckles said, "Huh, Sonic?"

'He is a hot-head but he can be a no-brainer,' the pink hedgehog thought, "How about you use your head, Knuckles?!"

The two-tailed fox just listened to the big argument. 'Isn't this supposed to be a stealth mission?' he thought, 'cuz this isn't stealth!'

"Tails!"

Tails was brought back to the real world to see 3 pairs of eyes looking at him. "Huh?"

"I asked you, what's the plan?" Sonic said.

"O… Oh, yeah, uh… how about we split up?" Tails replied anxiously, beginning to feel sweaty.

"Sounds like a plan then," Knuckles said. Amy just nodded and smiled.

"Ok so it'll be me and Knuckles and Amy and Tails," Sonic said.

'Grrrrr…' Amy had a noticeable frown on her face, which Sonic saw.

'Uh-oh' he thought nervously.

So when they split up, they didn't notice the security camera watching them.

"My plan is going perfectly as planned," an overweight man wearing a red and black suit said evily.

"Hehe… wait a second."

He saw Amy and Tails go the way of the trap. "No! Those inconsiderate... actually, one of them will have to go in the room." He smiled and chuckled like any other villain.

(Tails' POV)

When I was walking down the hallway with Amy, trying to listen for Cream or Cheese, because they're whole mission was to get them back. But when I was trying to listen, all I could hear was Amy grumbling to herself. What I could make out was:

"He does this intentionally. He just doesn't want to be with me. Ohhhh, will I show him!" She was swing her hammer and it hit a button and an alarm went off and a speaker came on and said, "Units A and B go to cell hallway 6. I repeat, units A and B to cell hallway 6."

"heh. Oops." Was all Amy could say before bots came through the doorways.

'For the love of…" thought Tails using his tails to fly up and try to find a way out to look for his 2 friends.

(Sonic's POV)

I heard alarms blaring and saying, "Units A and B go to cell hallway 6."

All me and Knuckles could say was, "Aw. Crap."

(Knuckles' POV)

We heard distant yelling and screaming and something saying "CHAO! CHAO! CHAO!"

So they planned go get Cream and Cheese and help the others. When we got nearer to the yelling, I punched the door down with my fist. The first thing we got was big hugs from a 6-year old rabbit and a dancing chao.

"Oh thank you! Thank you, Mr. Sonic and Mr. Knuckles!" said the young rabbit.

"Chao! Chao!" was all the Chao could say.

"No problem Cream and Cheese!" Sonic replied with a smirk, "When a friend is in need, I'll always be there to help."

'Show off' Knuckles thought, "Well actually, we have 2 friends in need and YOU'RE not there helping! REMEMBER?"

"Oh! I kind of forgot." Sonic replied sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.

(Tails' POV): Moments before Sonic and Knuckles finding Cream & Cheese

'Hmm… Maybe this is the room Eggman is keeping Cream and Cheese in,' I thought curiously.

When I walked in the door slammed shut making me yelp in surprise. The room was kind of big. When a speaker came on it made my blood turn cold. It was a way too familiar voice that I heard. Eggman.

"Say your prayers fox!" Eggman said as he laughed maniacally. That's when I heard beeping and since I'm an expert at machines and technology, I knew what it was. Bombs!

Then all I heard was a Big Boom.

(Amy's POV)

"You bucket of bolts aren't enough for me and my Piko Piko Hammer!" Gloated Amy, when all the badniks were gone.

"Amy! Tails! Come in guys! We found Cream and Cheese! Meet us in the part of the map I mark." Then a big explosion was heard.

(Back with Sonic and Knuckles)

After Sonic had said their report, they heard an explosion that could be hear miles away. Then they heard Eggman.

A riddle that is very cheesy or crummy whatever you'd call it is coming up. Sorry! Back to the story!

"Did you hear that, hedgehog? Somebody got hurt in that! Here's a little riddle for you. You won't be able to solve it, because of your low IQ and your miniature brains. Here it is: could hear that "Miles" away! You'd better turn "Tails" and run all the way to your town you call Mobius." Eggman replied smugly. Then the speaker went off.

Heh, get it yet? If not, read on…

"What the heck was that all about?!" Knuckles said.

"What about the riddle, Mr. Sonic?" Cream asked worried, "he said someone got hurt! What if it was Amy or Tails?!" Cream started crying.

"Don't worry Cream! Amy and Tails are smart, it was probably a badnik of his." Sonic replied giving his signature thumbs up and a wink. The conversation was interrupted by Amy.

"GUYS! I found out the riddle! It's Tails! He was in the explosion!" Amy yelled.

"Amy! Calm down! How do you know exactly?" Knuckles asked, rubbing his ears.

"In the riddle he said 'miles' and 'tails' weirdly, plus he would've said 'tail' not 'Tails'" she said hyperventilating, "DO YOU GET IT NOW?!"

Sonic thought a moment. The words 'miles' and 'tails' repeating in his head. Then it came to him. It was Tails!

"I'm coming little buddy."

About 3.2 seconds later, Sonic arrived and what he saw was horrifying.

"NO! TAILS!"

Tails was lying there. Motionless.
