The Final Extreme Prix (Closed)

[blade the hedgehog]

"I highly doubt Thaderus would agree to such a plan." Blade said in Wave's mind. "Thaderus is quite the egotist and is very proud of his work. For someone else to complete his work while he's locked up like a criminal would be the ultimate offense to him. He is more then likely trying to figure out some why to break outside the jamming shield. I've searched him, but I haven't found anything on him that can help, but Thaderus is crafty if nothing else, you should feel a bit on edge, but don't get too uncomfterable, otherwise I'll mop the floor with booth you and Jet in the races."

Shadow and Blade carried Thaderus back to Blade's booth and the jamming field was put into effect. Blade stepped outside in order to relay commands and startagy to Echoes while Shadow stayed inside the booth. Shadow looked at the bird who was observing evey conner of the room carefully. Shadow knew that mikes and recording deivces were disablled inside the field. "So what's Eggman's plan?" Shadow asked. Thaderus pointed to a pieceof paper on a table neaby along with other confinscated items. Shadow walked backwards towards the table as to not lose sight of the egale. Hepicked up the paper and saw a list of names, locations, events, and times displayed on some sort of graph. The bottom of the list had a stamp in the shape of Eggman's symbol.

Sonic shrugged. "I guess we should check it out ourselves." He said picking up his gearand walking towards where Phionex took Mitch.

((Sorry i've been working non-stop since friday ))

Wave rolled her eyes "well we'll stay on the look out. But i'd be careful saying who's whipping the floor with who." She said smiling.

Phoenix pulled on the strings on her boot and then looked back at the bird. Her phone ranf and sge answered it. "Go for Phoenix."
"Ah Phoenix, my favorite girl-"
"Quit with the smooth talk fatty. What do you want?"
"Aren't you a bucket of sunshine...do you have what i asked for."
"Yeah i got your bird."
"Good good, i have another favor to ask you."
"Holy fatman, at this rate i'm gunna empty your wallet."
"Ahem...it seems one of my...associates has gotten himself in a sticky situation."
"Yeah an eagle right? I saw him go down, it was quite entertaining. But you should know better, i don't work in a team."
"This wouldn't be a team, it would be an assist."
"If we're competing for the same cash, i won't be helping him out. I got your bird, i'll meet you in a couple hours, and you better bring my money."
"Don't worry girl, i'll be there."
Phoenix hung up and chucked her phone across the room onto the bed. One of Mitch's eyes opened lazily and looked at the girl across the room. Phoenix notice and gently stroked the side of his face as she spotted a tear roll down his face, "aww don't be scared beautiful."

Onyx walked towards Lazers building only to be tripped by two small birds. He smiled recognizing his kids, he stood up letting the two hang off his legs. "And what do you two think you are doing here?" He asked picking them up and letting them snuggle into his chest feathers.
"We missed you daddy." Sapphire said pulling at his chest feathers
"Yeah! And we wanted to see you race!" Platinum said smiling.
"As much as i love that your here, this isn't a good time, i told you that you needed to stay in our ship."
"But daddy!" The two complained in unison as Reid and Sypris plucked the two out of Onyx's arms.
"Come on Onyx, they can stay for a little while. There are lots of us around to keep an eye out for them." Sypris said stroking Platnium's metallic tail feathers that matched his fathers.
"Fine..." Onyx said shrugging "but i don't need you two getting into trouble got it?"
"Yes daddy."

Tails walked behind Sonic down the hall "why would they have gone in the girls dorms? They are both guys, right?"

[blade the hedgehog]

(It's cool )

Blade walked into the booth where Shadow was keeping watch over Thaderus. Blade looked at Shadow. "Leave us." He said.
"And who are you to.." Shadow started.
"Now." Blade said with a deeper tone. Shadow spat on the floor.
"Like you'll get anywhere with him anyways." Shadow left the room and Blade looked at Thaderus.
"It sickens me just to look at you."
"Come now commander." Thaderus said. "As if you didn't already know what my intentions were."
"I had hoped that you had matured beyond this. You know personally that I hate tratiors."
"We both learned that leason during our days in the G.U.N. Special Ops. Can't trust anyone."
"Then you're even more weak then I thought."
"Oh please, don't start with the morals and how clinging to them gives you strength. You obviously haven't changed either. You're still the little kid who can't so much as file a false report without having a mental breakdon due to the immorality of it. You want to talk about morals fine, but spare me the self-rightous talk, you have your demons too."
"All of us have our demons. They make up a part of who we are. If there was no evil inside the hearts of people, how could they overcome themselves and rise to the title of hero?"
"Oh so you're a hero now?" Thaderus laughed. "Tell me mister hero, sinse when did you count yourself amoung the ranks of heros?"
"I never said I was a hero. You were right about my demons, but I haven't overcome all of them yet. I'm quite tempted to succumb right now a smear you all over the wall."
"But that isn't your style. Forgive me if I don't sound terrified, but I know any empty threat when I hear one."
"Then how about a deal?"
"A deal!?" Thaderus laughed harder. "You, the rightious crusader who chased me down and arrested me now want to make a deal with the devil?"
"You have soemthing I want, and I'm sure I have something you want."
"Because it entertains me that we are having this talk I'll let you continue. What sort of deal is this?"

"Don't know," Sonic said. "But this is greater proof to my point.'
"And that is?" Knuckles asked.
"Simple, both Mitch and Onyx have girlfriends that their ashamed of so they go here at night to meet them in secret. Case closed."
"I doubt that's the reason."
"If you've got another expination, we're all ears here."
"I don't, but the lack of my own theory doesn't support yours."

[ashley12]

Tails found himself chuckling at Sonic remark, "sorry Sonic, but i think that is highly unlikely." He said walking down the hall. "And its daytime, so you kind of ruined your own plot."

Phoenix stroked Mitch's feathers down looking at his bright green eyes. "It really is a shame that suck a pretty bird like you has to be a science experiment. If you weren't so weird you might of had a chance with me." She said as he struggled against her.

Sapphire jumped out of Reid's arm and skipped towards her dad. "Daddy, where's uncle Mitchy?"
"Um, yeah we're wondering the same thing, we'll take you two back to Lazers headquarters and then we'll go and look for him."
"No! We want to help look for him!" Platinum said still hanging off Sypris's arms.
"I'm ok with you two being here but i draw the line at this." Onyx said putting his hands on his hips.
"Please daddy!" Sapphire said latching onto his leg.
"No!"
"But daddy!" Platinum said letting his tail feathers fan out.
"I said no, Sypris?" Onyx looked to her for help.
"Your dad is right why don't you come with me and we can go and visit Lazer, you know how much he loves seeing you kids."
"Ok auntie Sypris..." The two said as they went off towards the office with there aunt.
Onyx and Reid went towards the dorms.

"You know as well as I do that The Armada has plans to destroy the ship." Blade said. "The only way they'll manage that is by sending their own ship to intercept us as we are too far up to be shot down by an ati air battery."
"And you want me to blow up their ship." Thaderus said rolling his eyes. "And why would I do that."
"Simple, the ship that is coming after us is sure to be bigger and contain plenty of weapons and have greater security. If there's one thing I know about you is that you like stealth missions that result in giant explosions."
"I'm still waiting for the part that convinces me to help you."
"In return for helping me remove whatever the Armada is sending our way, I'll secure your release, and pay you the usual fee."
"The usual?"
"Ten thousand gold rings." Thaderus thought for a moment.
"I always wanted to take out a military target." He said smiling under the scarf covering his beak. "But I'll need some supplies."
"I already have them." Blade pulled one of the objects delievered to him the night beforefrom the pocket demension he used to store them. It was a crate labeled 'highly explosive." "These are anti air artilery shells. I'm sure there's enough explosive components for you to make bombs and detonators. Besides, the biggest bombs you need our the enemies weapons." Thaderus's smile grew wider.
"Feels like old times comander." Blade cut the binds that bound Thaderus' hands.
"Yep, old times."

"Liz," Blade said into Liz's mind. "I'm working on a solution to our problem regaurding the Armada and Thaderus."

Sonic shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever." He said.
"Here's a theroy." Knuckles said.
"And that is?"
"Perhaps they're gaurding something there." Sonic stopped dead in his tracks and looked directly at Knuckles.
"So hold on a minute... You think that Onyx and Mitch, two of the most highly ranked members of the ship's crew would rather use the girls domitory to hide something of value rather then the state of the art security storage rooms that they undoubtably have aboard this ship?"
"It's a moe solid theory then yours."

[ashley12]

Liz called Blade back "can you enlighten me to your plan?" She asked curiously as she tried to sprt out the racing feild on a digital platform. "I would play the guessing game with you but i'm a little occupied."

Tails smiled at the two as they bickered. "I have to say, both of those ideas sound really dumb." He turned around as he heard footsteps. "Well that can't be right..." He said watching at Onyx and Reid walked into riders centural and proceeded upstairs to the male dorms. "Sonic, maybe we should ask them whats going on."

Phoenix tied up her other shoe and made for the door. "I'll be right back handsome." She said switching back to look like Onyx, she happily skipped down the stairs back to the entrance only to remembet how heavy all the metal feathers were as she tripped down the last ten or so stairs landing on the tiled floor.

Tails watched as Onyx and Reid walked upstairs only to turn around and see...onyx fall down the stairs from the female dorms. "Ok, this just got weird..."

Sypris pushed open the doors to Lazers office and the two fledgelings took off up onto the higher platforms looking for the falcon. "Lazer! I brought you some company." Sypris shouted as the falcon glidded down to a lower platform.
"Ah, my favorite two fledgelings." He said playfully snatching Sapphire out of the air in his talons, she giggled as Platinum latched onto Lazers back playfully as he landed on a perch.
"Hi Capitain Lazer." The two chimmed in unison as Sypris flew up to join them
"And what are you doing here, didn't your dad tell you it was to dangerous?"
"Yes, but i can take care of myself, see!" Platinum said swinging his tail feathers in a slicing fashion, much like Onyx did but of course a lot slopier.
"There two rebels snuck over here this morning." Sypris said nudging Platinum off the branch so he gad to fly back up. "And they'll be going back before the fight begins." The two fledgelings looked a bit saddened by this.
"Don't worry you two." Lazer said rubbing the tops of their heads. "Some day you two will be as great of fighters as your father, and then you'll be in charge of the divebombers."
"You really think so?" Sapphire asked.
"I know so, you two have the same fighting spirit as your mom did, but you have a big heart, just like your dad."

[blade the hedgehog]

Blade projected himself and Thaderus into Liz's sight. "I assume the two of you are well aquainted."
"....."
"Anyway, I've convinced our friend here to help us take down whatever it is the Armada intend on hitting us with. Seeing that he's the only available explosive expert on the ship, we have little say in the matter. He helps us, the current naons inside the ship will be used to rat out Armada spies and other saboturs, and he'll help destroy the Armada attack craft. My orginazation will be paying him more then what he was already paid so we don't need to worry about a double crossing seeing that he'll still be blowing up a ship, just not this one. He's already disabled the nanos inside captain Onyx as a show of good faith. He'll be staying out of the races and his supply stock of expolsives require my passcodes to detonate. Sinse your group controls the ship, you are required to know that Thaderus will be working for my side, and will no longer threaten the functions of this ship. If he does so, he will be thrown in jail and lose his payment. Perhaps he can help you with desinging your next track."
"Say again?"
"Will it kill you to make something that doesn't explode for once?"
"...."

Sonic scratched his head. "Seeing that the first Onyx was with that other bird, I think we can geuss that he's the real one." he said.
"So the other one is an inmposter?"
"Unless that bird climbed the stairs only to fall down, then yes the other one's an imposter."

[ashley12]

Liz looked at the other bird cautiosly. "Hmm....well as long as you have him under control. I guess that gives us a bit of an upper hand over the Armada, but might i suggest constant survalance of Thaderus, not that i doubt your ability Blade, but just to be on the safe side." She said flicking the map around in a circle. "And if he wants to help then let him, there's no harm in that."

Tails looked at the imposter who was picking himself up off the floor. "Well wjat are we waiting for! Lets get him before he gets away!"

Phoenix peeled herself off the floor looking up at the small group consisting of a hedgehog an echidna and a fox "dang..." She said to herself pushing herself to her knees.

Lazer patted the kids on the head as they snuggled around his downy feathers. "Sypris you should get back to the helm room, i can look after the kids for now."
"Really? That would be great, thank you." She said with almost no hesitation before taking off.
"Capitain Lazer..." Platinum said looking up to him. "What was our mommy like?"
"Your mom, was the best warrior i had seen in all of my time being a capitain." He said letting the two lean on him.
"Was she nice?" Sapphire asked.
"Ha, well, to some people, but she was a ruthless fighter. She would have rathered had more foes than enemies."
"Tell us what happened to her again..." Platinum said bashfully
"Well, it was almost like what is happening today. The Armada attacked your fathers ship because they wanted him and your uncle Mitch and some of there other experimental birds back. But your mom wasn't about to let then just barge in there, she saved hundreds of lives that day, including your's. even thought you were still eggs she fought until the last shot. She was the bravest person their, and she was willing to give up her life to keep her friends and family safe. Thats how a real leader acts, brave, bold, tough, and not affraid to look death in the eye." He said sighing a bit looking down at the two. "I'm just sorry sye didn't get to meet you two, she would have been a great mom."

"Oh because your survaliance equipment tracked me so well the last time." Thaderus said shrugging. "Anyway, I'll build the track for ya. Just don't be suprised if stuff blows up during the track."
"I think you're missing the point of making things." Blade said.
"Oh please." thaderus said using a french acent. "My art work is so good that it touches the heart with millions. and sometimes other body parts as well, shratnell can be very hard to control." Echoes' imaige came into the picture.
"I must object to this and not just it puts my life in danger." Echoes said. "If someone with whom my team is affiliated, any advantage gained by me could potentialy be biased help from the designer. Therefore, to prevent racer bias, I must object."
"You do well on one of my maps!? The blasphamy! As if anyone would be safe on a course made by me!"
"I rest my case."

Sonic zoomed infront of Phionex. "Don't try to run away." he said with a sneer. "You'll never be able to run fast enough."

[ashley12]

Phoenix rolled her eyes looking at the blue hedgehog. "Why would i run from you hedgehog?" She said in Onyx's voice. "Now if you don't mind, i have to be somewhere." She said pushing him to the side as she walked past.

Liz watched as they fought, "well as much as i like brute displays of testosterone as the next girl. I'd like tp move back to our topic. I was suggesting that maybe i could keep an eye on him. You two will be busy with racing and planning for the attack. And i'd really like to try and run my physical form on the Prix ship."

((You want to draw up a new map for the race track?))
