Runners' Stories! (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Chapter 8: Thieves in the Night

(Nack's POV)

                Well, before we joined up with the Dreamers, we were thieves who steal any precious jewels we want! Including those Chaos Emeralds! However, we heard about a new kind of jewel. We were hunting for the Sol Emeralds. Now, our shake was hidden in a deep forest called Leaf Storm. It was a simple shake, but it was able to keep us hidden from GUN and Sonic. Those guys really give us a run for our money whenever we want to get precious jewels.

"Bark! Do you know anything about these Sol Emeralds?" I asked him seriously as he entered our base.

All the polar bear did was show me a picture of some princess. I think her name is Blaze. She hangs around with Sonic and his dumb friends. She must have those Sol Emeralds on her!

"Ok, we need to stake out her place. Take me to her location" I barked, "Bean! You stay here and take a nap. Don't cause trouble!"

"Got it boss!" Bean shouted from his room upstairs.

I just rolled my eyes and followed Bark. The three of us have always been together. We grew up on the streets of Central City and stayed together ever since. We all agreed to become rich someday. Why did we decide that? Well, if you're rich, then you don't have to worry about anything except taxes. We can have huge feasts and a giant roof over our heads! Yes, sir! That's the life for us! However, I need to be focus and prepare for the task. Bark hide the bushes. I quickly took my sniper out and looked through the scope to see the princess. Huh. She doesn't seem to be all that much.

"This should be easy, Bark. We come at night" I said with a chuckle.

Well, that was until I saw Amy Rose with Cream and her uncle, King Rob! Well, this just got complicated. That stupid, pink furball is always there when I don't need it! Oh, and the king too, I guess. We live in a democracy now! Granted it is terrible and needs to be redone, but why do we need the royal families still?! I see no reason!

"Never mind, we need to get into the castle. I have to scout out the area to see what the best course of action is" I said as I lowered my sniper.

I closed and put it in my side pouch. Hm, now how should I go about this? I could fake being a guard. That should be a good idea!

"Bark stay here. I'll handle this one all on my own" I reassured him as I left.

I walked to the back of the castle and went to find the knights' chambers. I saw one knight leaving the chambers. I swiftly punched him and knocked his head against the wall. He was just unconcious. Nothing too serious will happen to him. I took his armor and marched into the castle. I kept an eye out for those Emeralds. Dang it! No luck!

"Excuse me!" a very kind and polite voice asked as she approached me.

Who is this angel? Aw, crap! Can't get distracted!

"I am looking for Blaze. Can you please help me find her?" she asked me politely.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this was Mina! The famous popstar of our world besides Miku. I never liked Miku's songs, but Mina's songs were amazing. She's also very pretty. I shook my head and just nodded. I lead her around the castle, but I wasn't sure where Blaze was. We heard a crash and few explosions go off. We ran to the balcony of a room to see that annoying pink hedgehog jump high in the air with her hammer. She swung it back and swiftly knocked Storm away from the balcony.

"Amy! Is everything ok?!" Mine shouted as Amy landed on the ground.

"The Babylon Rouges just wanted to annoy us!" Amy shouted as Blaze blocked Wave's incoming fist.
