Sonic: Adventures of Areion

Episode 20: The Hunt is On!

It is a beautiful morning as the sun rises to the sky and shines its ray over the Dragon Valley in the planet Avalice. Lilac was in the treehouse getting herself ready in her bedroom with Carol being the feline she is still asleep in her bed when she suddenly heard the telephone in the living room and quickly ran over to answer it.

"Hello, this is Lilac speaking." Lilac as she held the receiver to her.

[Hello...uh, this is General Gong.] a deep voice awkwardly responded through the phone.

Lilac was surprised for a moment before she spoke "Oh General Gong, is there anything I can do for you?"

[Actually there is...] the General proceeded to explain what's going on to Lilac [So we'll be waiting for you at the north side.]

"OK then, we'll meet you the there." Lilac placed the receiver back on the telephone then turned to walk back to the bedroom, however she seemed to have noticed that something or rather someone is missing, Lilac looked at the couch and saw that Arion wasn't sleeping on it "I wonder where he is? Must have gone to see Torque with Nicole." she walked back into the bedroom and called out to the sleeping Carol "Up and at 'em, we've got adventuring to do!"

Carol groaned a bit and rolled over her bed "...five more minutes..."

Suddenly Milla poked her head from behind and let out a playful bark which startled Carol to tumbled off her bed before calling out cheerfully "Good morning, Carol!" which led to Lilac laughing at the amusing which is her best friend woken up. A couple of minutest later, the trio climbed down from the treehouse and went over to find Torque standing at the entrance of his tent as he was waiting for them.

"I was wondering when you'd be awake." Torque said in amusement.

"You can blame Carol for that, she sleeps for like half a day." Lilac said while playfully glaring at the wildcat.

Carol smirked in response "Totally worth it."

"Well anyway, I got a call from the big panda guy I told you about. He's gonna help us."

"When is he coming?" Torque asked to which Lilac responded.

"Actually, we have to go meet him. He'll be waiting for us north of here."

"Perfect, I fixed my radar last night so we can use it to find the meeting point."

Lilac nodded in affirmation "Right, ready girls?"

Carol raised a fist in excitement "Aye aye, captain!"

Milla was looking around though "Um, where's Areion and Nicole?" That caught the attention of the others.

"I thought he was with you in the tree house?" Torque said confusedly.

"I thought he woke up early to have a talk with you." Lilac was just as confused.

Milla was on all fours and started sniffing around, a few seconds later she perked up happily "I can smell him over there!"

"Really, how does he smell?" Carol asked curiously.

"He smells very nice, a bit like ramen but it makes me feel very warm and funny when I'm close to him." Milla said with a bright smile, then she took off with the others following after her. Soon they got close to a small clearing in the forest and found Nicole sitting on a rock at the edge of the clearing with the Chao sitting alongside her, she looked back and smiled upon seeing the group.

"Oh good morning, what brings you all here?" Nicole asked.

"We were wondering where you were since we couldn't find you." Lilac said.
