Chapter 10: secrets out

(Sonic POV)(play Apotos - Day from sonic U)

After the battle, Sonic and his friends left the city. With everything out of the way, Sonics friends found places to stay for the time being. Tails was staying with Fluttershy, Knuckles was staying with Applejack, Amy with Shadow and Pinkie Pie, and Rouge with Silver, Twilight and Rarity. At Rainbows house, Rainbow dash was helping Sonic bandage up his wounds. Sonic was pretty beat up from the battle, but he was used to getting beaten up like this.

"And, done." Rainbow said putting the last bandage on his arm.

"Thanks Rainbow." Sonic smiled.

"I-it's no problem." Rainbow said blushing a little while smiling.

"We're not done yet, there's one more cut to cover up." Sonic said.

"Where's the last cut?" Rainbow asked.

"It's on the side of my chest." Sonic answered. "I'm gonna have to take off my shirt for this one."

He then pulled off his shirt revealing his strong bare chest. The sight made Rainbow eyes widen and blush deeply.

"Whoa, he's so hot." Rainbow thought.

"Rainbow, could you give me a hand on this please?" Sonic asked.

"Uh, sure. What do you want me to do?" She asked.

"Take the bandage and wrap it around the wound." Sonic said as he handed wrapping bandages to her.

She blushed madly but nodded. Sonic slowly raised his arm up to allow Rainbow to get more access to wrapping the wound. She placed one part of the bandaged on Sonics shoulder and started wrapping up Sonics side. As she did, she secretly let her fingers glide next to the bandage, letting her fingers run down Sonics bare chest. She was blushing deeply as she did. Sonic felt her touch and blushed a little as well. For some reason, it felt comfortable, good and welcoming. After 2 minutes, Rainbow wrapped up the wound completely. Sonic then looked at Rainbow who was still blushing like crazy.

"Thank you." Sonic said smiling.

"Umm, no problem." She said looking away.

At Rarity's house, Silver was also getting bandaged up from the battle. He took off his own shirt and started wrapping up his bruise that the Egg phoenix gave him. Silver went through a lot more cuts and bruises during his time when he was fighting against Iblis, so these were nothing to him. But, he had to put this in, their last battle was close. If it weren't for Tails appearing from the last second, their hides would have been cooked. What he didn't know, that Rarity was at the side of the door watching him. Her eyes scanned his upper body, seeing his chest and a six-pack on the bottom. She was blushing madly.

"My, my, peeping on dear Silver are you Rarity?" Asked a female voice.

Rarity quickly turned around and saw Rouge standing right next to her grinning.

"I-it's not what it looks like darling." Rarity started still blushing. "I-I just wanted to be sure that Silver is okay, and-and-"

She was cut off by a chuckle from Rouge.

"It's okay dear. I won't tell anyone that you were peeping on dear Silver." Rouge said.

"Ummm…if you say so." Rarity said embarrassed.

In the room, Silver overheard the girls talking and was blushing a little.

"Was Rarity really peeping on me?" Silver thought.

Silver decided to shrug it off for the moment. He was picking up his sweatshirt, but was then tugged all of a sudden. He looked down and saw Spike growling at him.

"Um, is there something you need Spike?" Silver asked the purple dog.

"You listen here buddy, don't get any funny ideas on Rarity. If you do, I'll rip you to pieces." He threatened.

Silver arched a brow in confusion. "What are you talking about?" He asked.

"You don't need to know." He said coldly. Spike headed for the door not until he stopped and pointed a paw at him.

"I got my eyes on you." He said when he left.

When he left, Silver was in a state of confusion. "What's his problem?" He thought. He then put on his sweatshirt and headed downstairs where Twilight, Rarity and Rouge were in the kitchen sipping on tea.

"Hello Silver darling, would you like to join us for some tea?" Rarity offered.

"Sure, I would love to." Silver said smiling.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

There was then a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Silver said.

Silver made it to the door. Before he opened the door, he heard mumbling outside the door. He was confused who was out there. "What's going on out there?" He thought.

When he opened the door, Piles of people at the door suddenly started flashing their cameras at Silver that was blinding him, while news reporters were asking him non-stop questions.

"Who are you?"

"How were you able to fight off that bird robot?"

"Why did you change color and started flying?"

"Are you really related to the two boys that were with you?"

Silver was getting overwhelmed by this. He used his phsycokinesis and pulled the door closed. He quickly locked it and pressed his back against the door breathing deeply. Twilight, Rarity and Rouge came into the room and saw Silver breathing heavily.

"Who's out there darling?" Rarity asked while reaching for the door handle.

"NO!" Silver shouted grabbing her hand quickly, which caused Rarity to stop in surprise. "Don't. Open. The door." He said nervously.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked. Silver calmed down a little and released Rarity's hand.

"There's a paparazzi outside and they want to interview me." Silver answered.

"What? Why would they want to-"

Twilight was cut off by a sudden ringing from Rarity's phone. She took it out and answered it.

"Hello?" She asked in the phone.

"Uh uh…yeah…of course darling, he's right here." Rarity said in the phone.

She handed the phone to Silver.

"It's Sonic." She said.

Silver took the phone and spoke into it. "Hello?"

"Hey silver, are their new reporters over where you are right now?" Sonic asked.

Silver sighed. "Let me guess, there are news reporters at your place as well?" Silver asked.

(Sonic POV)(Play Soleanna Castle Town from sonic06)

Sonic, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer were pushing on the door, preventing the news reporters from breaking in.

"Yeah, *grunt* and they're trying to *grunt* get in to interview me *grunt* and believe me, this is no picnic."

Finally, Rainbow, Sunset and Sonic closed the door and quickly locked it and boarded it to prevent any of them from entering. As Rainbow and Sunset fell to the ground exhausted, Sonic walked into the living room and turned on the T.V.

"I just can't believe someone was recording us while we were fighting Eggman AND the fact that they know where we live." Sonic said on the phone irritated as the news rolled in.

"This just in, a couple of hours ago, a mysterious man riding in some kind of hover craft while controlling some kind of bird-like robot was causing havoc all over the city. However, three courageous and mysterious teenagers were actually fighting against the robot." Said the female reporter as a video showed the three mobians fighting the Egg Phoenix. Sonic was really pissed that the fact they were being recorded and the fact they were on TV.

Sunset and Rainbow entered the living room and looked at the TV as they saw Sonic and his friends fighting the robot. "If that weren't mysterious enough, the three were floating in the air while seven colored-like diamonds were swirling around them and the three actually were glowing yellow and were flying, literally." She continued as another video popped out showing the three in their super forms.

"Shadow is gonna have someone's head when he finds out who it was that recorded us on the news." Sonic said in the phone.

"Oh, that's something I do not want to get involved with, you know how aggressive he gets when he's angry." Silver said in the phone. Sonic chuckled.

"Yeah he does have quite the temper. Speaking of Shadow, one of us has to call up Pinkie Pie and see how their doing."

(Silver POV)

"Good point, I'll have Rarity call up Pinkie and we'll go from there."

"Kay, see you silv."

"See ya Sonic." With that, Silver hung up the phone and gave it back to Rarity. "You might want to call up Pinkie and see if they're alright, if Shadow finds out about this, he might throw the biggest fit of his life."

Rarity nodded and dialed up Pinkies number. Silver meanwhile peeked through the window to see if the news reporters were gone, but sadly they're still there. One then saw Silver Peek through the window and Silver immediately threw back and closed the blind quickly. He knew this is going to take a long time for everyone to get bored of this. Before Rarity can confirm the dial on her phone, Shadow, Pinkie Pie, and Amy appeared in front of them, suprising the three of them.

"Was it really necessary to warp in front of us? You nearly scared me to death." Rarity said shooting a glare at Shadow.

"What are you three doing here?" Silver asked.

"There were news reporters everywhere and it was really getting on my nerves, so we decided to warp here to get away from it." Shadow explained.

"So wait, you're not mad?" Silver asked confused.

"Once I find out who was the one that send a copy to the news, I'm going to put all hell on that guy." Shadow growled.

"C'mon Shady, it's not too bad." Pinkie smiled.

"How many times do I have to say this. Don't. Call. Me. Shady." Shadow growled. He immediately got a whack at the head by Amy.

"Stop being so rude Shadow, she's only trying to cheer you up. The least you can do is be grateful for that." Amy glared which made Shadow glare back.

"Humph. Whatever." He said turning away.

"Is he always like this?" Twilight asked Silver.

"Most of the time, but you'll get used to it eventually." Silver answered shrugging.

"Is Sonic doing okay?" Amy asked.

"I would believe so. He and the two girls had a close call from their house because news reporters are trying to break in." Silver explained.

"If they so lay a finger on my Sonic, they're gonna have to answer to me." Amy said pulling out her hammer which caused Pinkie, Rarity and Twilight flinch back in surprise.

"Where did that hammer come from!?" Twilight asked shocked.

"Who knows, it's one of the few mysteries we mobians have." Silver answered shrugging. Suddenly, Sonic, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer warped in front of the group, causing another surprise to Rarity.

"I swear to god, if someone warps in my house again, I'm gonna scream." Rarity said irritated.

Sonic chuckled nervously. "Sorry Rarity, I didn't mean to startle you."

"SONICKU!" Amy once again tackled Sonic to the ground and gave him another bone crushing hug, much to Sonics discomfort.

"Amy, get off of me." Sonic said while prying Amy off of him…again.

"Are you okay? They didn't hurt you did they? Are you wounded anywhere?"

"AMY! I'm fine, now get off me."

"Seriously, what's with this girl? It's like she owns him, and yet he doesn't want to be anywhere near her." Rainbow thought while growling.

Finally, Sonic got Amy off of him, still much disappointment to Amy. "Do you think Tails and the others are doing okay? From what's happening, they might be surrounded by news reporters as well."

"I'll give them a call." Rainbow Dash said. She took out her phone and dialed Applejacks number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Applejack, its Rainbow Dash."

"Howdy Rainbow Dash, how goes it?"

"Everything over from where we are is a little chaotic."

"How so?"

"News reporters are everywhere and they won't leave any of us alone."

"Guess that is a problem, considering the fact that someone recorded Sonic and the others on the news."

"Believe me AJ, all three of them are pretty irritated about this. Speaking of news reporters, are you or Knuckles having any trouble with it?"

"Not that ah know of no."

"What? Not one single news reporter is at your barn?"

"Don't know, maybe they're interested in Sonic, Shadow and Silver."

"Could be right about that."

"You and the others are more than welcome to come down to the barn if you like. Fluttershy and Tails are here as well."

"Awesome, will see you there AJ."

"Alright, Bye Dash."

"Bye AJ."

After Rainbow hanged up the phone, she turned her attention to the group.

"They're no news reporters over at Applejacks place. She said we can come over there for the time being, at least until this whole thing blows over. She also told me Fluttershy and Tails are over there as well." Rainbow explained.

"Alright, well what are we waiting for, let's get over there on the double." Sonic said grinning.

"But how are we gonna get over there when they're news reporters surrounding us?" Sunset asked.

"Duh." Sonic pulled out one of his chaos emeralds.

"Oh, right I forgot about that."

"Shadow, care to do the honors?"

"Fine, if it means to get away from all this." Shadow pulled out his chaos emerald and Sonic got next to him. "Alright everyone, stand by me and Shadow." Sonic said.

Everyone gathered around the two, while Amy was extremely close to Sonic. Seriously, when will this girl ever take a hint that he doesn't like her? Anyway, Shadow held up his emerald and focused. While Shadow was charging up chaos control, Silver thought.

"Our mission is going to be harder to accomplish now that everyone in the city and town know about us. I hope we can still succeed, because we're going to need all the luck and help we can get." He thought.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" With that, they all disappeared. Up in one of the rooms, Twilights bag was left behind with her crown.

(Play Mephiles whisper)

Out of the shadows, a human being stepped out. He wore the same clothing and had the same hairdo like Shadow, but his clothing and hair streak color are a grayish blue color, had piercing green eyes and had no mouth. He walked over to the bag and opened it. Inside the bag contains the crown. He carefully picked it up in his hands and the crown reacted to him. He felt its incredible energy flowing through his veins. He chuckled evilly, now that he had the crown in his hands.

"Hahahaha. At last the crown is finally mine. Now it's time to put phase 2 into action. Soon, these fools will feel the wrath of MEPHILES THE DARK! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"
