Sonic Underground: Reimagined

Chapter 12: World-wide chase

In San Francisco, a taxi pulled up outside of the Transvaleian Business Pyramid. Sonic looked at it, tilting his head.

"So that's the place?" Sonic asked

"Yep, that's your pyramid." Tom replies

"So, now what do we-" Maddie starts until Sonic rushed off and tried to run up the side of a building. "Oh, he's gone."

Sonic then came back since the sides of the building were too steep to run up.

"Running up is no good. I saw a door up there but it needs a special key." Sonic states

"How do we get up there??" Maddie asks

After some thinking, Tom got an idea.

"Time to abuse the power entrusted to me." Tom states. "Probably gonna hate myself for this, though."

Later, once going into the Transvaleian Building, Sonic was hidden in a dufflebag as Sonic zips it closed, Sonic feeling a little cramped and hardly able to breathe.

"Stay in there and be quiet." Tom whispered to Sonic

Tom and Maddie walked up to a receptionist as Tom pulled out his officer's badge.

"We've got a jumper up on the roof, we need to get up there otherwise we'll have a human pancake on our hands." Tom stated

The receptionist looked at the badge and asked, "You came from.....Green Hills?"

"Yeah." Tom stated as he put his badge up. "That's how serious this situation is."

After some silence, the receptionist handed Tom the keys to the roof.

"You just saved a life." Tom said as him and Maddie walked off to the elevators

Maddie called the elevator and when two employees got nearby, Sonic whispered from inside the bag him and his siblings were in.

"How much longer? We can't breathe in here!" Sonic whispered

"Do you have your child in that bag?" The female employee asked

"No." Tom answers. "I mean, yes, it's a child, but, it's not mine."

"It's not your child..." The male employee responded as the two employees walked off

"Smells like body spray and an old ham sandwich." Sonic comments

When actually up on the roof, Tom set the dufflebag down and unzipped it, Sonic, Manic, and Sonia springing out and coughing.

"What were you keeping in this bag??!?!?!?" Sonic said as he got out

"Okay, okay, what are we looking for?" Tom asked

When Sonic spotted his ring bag and ran over, grabbed it, hung it over his shoulders, and pulled out a ring before running back to Tom and Maddie.

"This." Sonic said, looking at the ring

"So that's it? We did it?" Tom asked

"Yeah, we did." Sonic said before looking down

Tom looked around a bit, noticed the reluctance of the three hedgehogs, kneeled down next to them and asked, "Not sure you wanna go?"

"We don't want to, man. But we just can't say." Manic stated

"As long as we're here, we're putting everyone in danger." Sonic added

TOm stood up.

"Well, i'm gonna miss you, you rainbow speedsters." Tom stated

"We'll miss you too, Doughnut Lord. And thank you." Sonic comments
