It was night time and Tails was flying in the X-Tornado.

Tails: The "X-Tornado" seems to be running really great since we installed the Chaos Emerald. This has to be just about the smoothest flight I've ever been on. Huh?

He noticed that the Chaos Emerald used to power up the "X-Tornado" was glowing.

Tails: I think it's picked up something.

Suddenly, the "X-Tornado" started to shake.

Tails: I can't control it.

The plane started to go really fast and the glow of the Chaos Emerald got brighter.

Tails: Something's pulling us off course.

Tails saw a large stadium.

Tails: Maybe it's another Chaos Emerald.

As he got closer he saw a man in the stadium.

Man: Stop! Stop! Stop!

Tails pulled the plane up.

Tails: I better go down there.

Tails landed the "X-Tornado" outside of the stadium and went inside it and he gasped at the awesome site of the baseball stadium.

Tails: Wow!

He used his tails to fly in more and he saw the man from earlier trying to start up a lawn mower.

Tails: Excuse me, sir. Hello! YO!

Man: Huh?

He looked at Tails and was absolutely shocked.

Man: Keep away!

Tails: Huh? I'm sorry. It's just, I was in my plane and the Chaos Emerald started glowing and... Don't worry, mister, I won't hurt you.

Man: Huh?

A little later.

The two of them were sitting on the bleachers.

Man: Sure is some story, little fella. Never wouldn't guessed that was you flying that plane up there.

Tails: I'm sorry I frightened you just now, sir. I've never seen a studium as pretty as this before. You know, the grass is practically glowing.

Man: Thanks for the compliment. Lots of folks say that turf here at Diamond Stadium is the best in the world, which makes me happy because I've been the groundskeeper here at Diamond for 30 years.

Tails: Thirty years?

Groundskeeper: You bet. Only I'm afraid today is my last day here at the old place. You see, the Diamonds' manager wants to build an indoor stadium with artificial turf, so this place is gonna be demolished. I tell you, leaving this place behind feels like the end of an era. By the way, little fella, did you mention something about an emerald?

Tails: Yeah.

He went into his tails and pulled out his Chaos Emerald.

Tails: See, I'm looking for an emerald just like this one. It's called a Chaos Emerald.

Groundskeeper: A what? Would this be what you're looking for?

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a Chaos Emerald, but this one was cyan blue like Y/n.

Tails: Ah, a Chaos Emerald!

Groundskeeper: I saw it laying next to the dumpster a couple of nights ago. Wasn't sure what it was.

Both the Chaos Emeralds started to glow really bright and a white light shot out in the sky and everyone in the down saw it.

In the outskirts of town.

Knuckles also saw the light.

Knuckles: I know that light.

The rest of the team were at home and were eating dinner.

Ella: Let's start with our first course. Which knife and fork should we use?

Amy: Uh, these.

Amy grab the small fork and the medium knife.

Cream: I agree.

Cheese: Chao, chao.

Y/n: Not what I would use on a daily basis, but I think they would work.

Ella: Right, you're such smart children. And what good manners.

Cheese: Chao!

Amy: I honestly never saw Y/n as the type of guy who uses manners.

Y/n: And I thought all you were good for was screaming "Sonic" and swinging a giant hammer around, guess we're all full of surprises.

Amy: Want to say that to my face, Y/n?

Y/n: Certainly.

Ella: All right, enough.

Cream: Yeah, can't we just eat and be friends?

Amy: Sure.

Y/n: Why not?

Sonic: I don't see why we have to learn all this etiquette baloney in the first place.

Chris: My mom says it's important to learn good manners so we can eat properly.

Sonic: Well, I never learned anything about manners and I've been eating my whole life.

Y/n: That's because all you know how to eat is the uncivilized way.

Sonic shrugged his shoulders and took a bite out of his apple and Mr. Tanaka got in his face.

Mr. Tanaka: Sonic, kindly use your fruit knife.

Chuck: I wonder what's keeping Tails. He should be back by now.

Y/n: Maybe he found a Chaos Emerald or something.

Amy: That's pretty specific.

They heard laughing and they saw it was Bokkun with a baseball cap.

Y/n: Ugh, you again.

Bokkun: Sorry, I didn't know it was meal time, but Doctor Eggman's got a real important message for you.

Sonic: Ugh, not again.

Mr. Tanaka: How dare you barge in on us like this? You need to learn some manners.

Bokkun: Eh, that's what you say.

The TV turned on and Eggman was on it and he had bandages around his torso.

Eggman: Good evening, Sonic and Y/n. I suggest you both take a look out your window.

Y/n/Sonic: Window?

They all opened the window and saw the beam of light.

Chuck: What is it?

Cream: That light's coming from a Chaos Emerald.

Chris: Is she right?

Sonic: You are half right, Cream.

Y/n: Knuckles told me that a light like that only appears when two or more Chaos Emeralds are in the same spot.

Eggman: Correct. We both want those emeralds, but why not be good sports about it? That's why I suggest you suit up and meet me over...

Eggman got into a dark gray baseball uniform with a yellow E on the cap.

Eggman: ...at the Diamond Stadium.

Mr. Tanaka: Diamond Stadium?

Chuck: What for?

Eggman: I challenge you and your friends to a game of winner-take-all baseball.

Eggman laughed before the TV turned off.

Y/n: How many times do I have to say these guys are not my friends?!

Bokkun: You guys might be a little rusty, so how about some batting practice?

Bokkun got out a baseball bat.

Sonic: Uh-oh.

Bokkun hit a lot of baseballs at them and they all ducked down until Y/n grabbed Bokkun by the throat.

Y/n: One...

He punched Bokkun in the face.

Y/n: Two...

He punched Bokkun again.

Y/n: Three strikes, you're out.

Y/n threw Bokkun out of the house really hard.

Chris: What kind of pitch was that?

Chuck: It was definitely a fastball.

Sonic: We have to get to that stadium.

Everyone except Sonic, Y/n, and Ella got in the car while Y/n and Sonic ran to the stadium.

At the stadium.

The Chaos Emeralds stopped glowing.

Groundskeeper: What just happened there, little fella?

Tails: That always happens when two Chaos Emeralds come together. I just hope the wrong person didn't see it.

Tails heard a chuckle and looked up to see it was Eggman in the Egg-carrier.

Eggman: Well, if it isn't my foxy high-flying friend.

Tails: Doctor Eggman!

He chuckled and looked around.

Eggman: Uh? Uh? Where's the rest of your team? It's almost game time.

Tails: Forget it. You want the Chaos Emeralds, but I won't give 'em to you.

Eggman: Could it be Sonic, Y/n, and their pals are choosing to forfeit? I must say that's very un-sportsman-like of them. If there's one thing I hate more than a meddling hedgehog, it's a quitter.

Tails: I don't get it. What're you talking about?

Eggman: If they won't play ball with me, I still win.

A hand came out of the Egg-carrier and tried to grab Tails but he was able to dodge it.

Groundskeeper: What's going on here anyway?

The hand grabbed the groundskeeper's Chaos Emerald.

Tails: Oh, no! He's got the Emerald.

The hand gave the Emerald to Eggman.

Eggman: One down, one to go. Hand it over. I won it fair and square. Now give me that second Emerald or I'll have to use a force play.

Tails: I'd like to see you try it.

Tails ran away and the hand went after him but Knuckles showed up and smashed the hand.

Knuckles: That was close. You all right?

Tails: Knuckles! Am I glad to see you.

Knuckles: Well, looks who it is. I like your costume.

Eggman: (grumble) You again. And what brings you here? Doing Sonic and Y/n's dirty work?

Knuckles: Let's get out of here, Tails.

Tails: Okay.

Suddenly, Sonic and Y/n finally showed up.

Sonic: Hey, how's it going, Knuckles?

Y/n: Great to see you again.

Eggman: Well, if it isn't Sonic and Y/n. I thought you two weren't going to show up, so I took one of the Emeralds and I was just collecting the second.

The others finally caught up.

Eggman: But now that you're here, maybe we can play ball.

Sonic: All right. Just give us back that Chaos Emerald.

Y/n: Or I'll pry it from that Egg-carrier then your cold dead hands.

Eggman: All in good time, my speedy little rodents. But first, let me introduce you to my fellow teammates.

Sonic/Y/n: Huh?

A ship showed up and about eight robots that looked like baseball players came out of it and Cream hugged Amy.

Cream: They're scaring me, Amy.

Amy: It's okay.

Y/n: Yeah, don't worry, Cream. I'll destroy every last one of these things.

Eggman jumped down from the Egg-carrier.

Eggman: Not too shabby, eh? Now why don't we knock off the pre-game ceremonies and get to the reason we're all here. It's now game time.

A tall yellow robot and short silver robot stood in front of Eggman.

Robots: Let's play ball.

Tails: You can't have your game here.

Chuck: Wait. It just so happens, ol' Grandpa Chuck here is a big baseball fan from way back.

Tails: Huh?

Chuck: A nice friendly game of baseball sounds like a great idea to me.

Tails: But... But, Chuck...

Eggman: (laughing) Ah, so you're Chuck, are you? Well, it's a great pleasure to finally meet you after being cooped up in that laboratory of yours day after day.

Y/n: So, this is what a conversation between scientist is like. This must be what my father witnessed.

Eggman: By the way, I've done some digging on other scientists in our world ever since you mentioned your father, and tell me, does the name F/n the Hedgehog ring any bells?

Y/n raised an eyebrow.

Y/n: So, you figured it out.

Amy: Who's F/n the Hedgehog?

Tails: I've heard of him before, he was a really famous scientist in our world.

Eggman: Yeah, he was almost as great of a genius as me, but too bad he died from a horrible explosion eight years ago.

Tails: Yeah, before I was even born.

Eggman: But I was unaware F/n had a son.

Chuck: Does that mean you're-

Y/n: Look, we can talk about this later, right now I want the Chaos Emerald.

Eggman: And I will happily give it to you, if you beat me.

Tails: Hey, if you want to have a ball game, then you have to have it some place else. Isn't anybody listening to me?

Chuck: Well, Eggman, if the others are up for it, I would be more than happy to accept your challenge.

Tails: But you can't have your game here! You're gonna ruin all the beautiful turf.

Y/n: And I'd rather just brake Robotnik's bones then take the Emerald from him after.

Tall robot: What's that loud-mouthed fox and cold hearted hedgehog getting so bent out of shape for?

Short robot: Who knows?

Y/n: I'm not getting bent out of shape, but I will bent your boss out of his bones.

Tails: And I'll have you know this stadium means a lot to my friend.

The groundskeeper walked behind Tails.

Groundskeeper: It's okay, Tails.

Tails: Huh?

Groundskeeper: Only a matter of time before it's demolished anyway.

Chuck: Hmm? Have I seen you somewhere?

Albert: Maybe during the seventh inning stretch. My name's Albert Butler. I'm the head groundskeeper here.

Chuck: Ah, I thought you looked familiar. I've seen you on television. You were good friends with the owner of the Diamonds, Elmer Johnson, right?

Chris: Wow, you know him?

Albert: Elmer and I don't talk much anymore.

Chuck started to cry.

Chuck: This is such an honor to think I get to play baseball at the world-famous Diamond Stadium-

Eggman: Stop your blubbering and let's play baseball!

Amy: Okay.

Cream: How do we play?

Cheese: Chao, chao.

Chuck: All right, everybody! Time for the Chaos Emerald baseball playoff.

Eggman: It's the first annual Eggman Intergalactic Baseball Challenge.

Knuckles: This is sad.

Y/n: Truly pathetic.

Chris: And totally embarrassing.

Mr. Tanaka was doing some stretches.

Mr. Tanaka: One, two. One, two.

Sonic: Does he have to be on our team?

Cream: Amy, do we get to play, too?

Amy: Don't see why not.

Cheese: Chao, chao.

Y/n: You would help us a whole lot, Cream, but Rose would just get in the way.

Amy: Look, I am getting tired of you-

Y/n: Stating the obvious.

Amy got out her hammer.

Amy: Why you.

She ran at him but Y/n kicked the hammer out of her hands and kicked her two more times to sent her into the air then he jumped and kicked her down and she landed hard on the ground.

Chris: Hey, Grandpa, I'm not so sure this baseball game is such a good idea. What if Eggman's got something up his sleeve?

Chuck: Chris, you may be right. For all we know, that guy could be using a corked bat.

Chris: That's not exactly what I meant.

Eggman: Let's decide which team will be first to bat. Rock, paper-

Knuckles: You can't be serious. You do know what will happen if Doctor Eggman wins, don't you? He won't just be winning the game, but the Chaos Emeralds, too. If Eggman wins this game, it'll mean nothing but catastrophe for all of us.

Eggman: I'd say that's nothing but stinking thinking.

Chuck: Why ruin everyone's fun, huh?

Amy: Come on, Knuckles, don't you wanna play?

Cream: Don't be chicken.

Cheese: Chao, chao.

Knuckles: Me? Chicken?

Mr. Tanaka: Perhaps Mr. Knuckles is simply afraid to play a game of baseball, hmm?

Knuckles: Afraid? I'm not afraid of anything.

Sonic: Great, then you'll play, huh?

Knuckles rolled his eyes.

Knuckles: All right, you asked for it! You want a team player, I'll give you a team player. Let's get this game on!

Y/n: Wait, none of you seriously see how irresponsible you're being? Not that I care or anything, but thousands of people could die.

Amy: Oh, come on, don't be a downer like your pal, Knuckles.

Y/n grabbed Amy by the throat and held her in the air.

Y/n: You don't ever talk about Knuckles that way.

Tails: Whao, Y/n, calm down, this wouldn't be what you're dad wanted.

Y/n then did the same thing he did to Amy to Tails.

Y/n: You don't ever speak my father's name in the vain like that again.

Everyone else one by one tried to release Tails and Amy from Y/n's grip.

Sonic: Whao, take it easy, Y/n!

Cream: Calm down, Y/n!

Cheese: Chao, chao!

Knuckles: Come on, Y/n! This is not good for the team!

Chris: They'll apologize for what they said on a later date!

Mr. Tanaka: Maintain your composure, Y/n!

Chuck: I'll let you hurt Eggman after this if you let go of them!

Y/n still wasn't letting go and he looked at Amy and Tails as they were choking.

Y/n: All right. Here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna let you two go, but neither of you say a word to me for the rest of the day.

They both nodded.

Y/n: Good.

He let them go and they both gasped for air.

Y/n: All right. Let's get this game started.

The tall yellow robot was the umpire, one of the baseball robots was the the catcher, and Chris was the batter.

Tall robot: Let's play ball.

Chris: Bring it on.

Another baseball robots threw a really fast fastball and Chris missed the ball.

Tall robot: Strike one.

Chris: Uh?

Chris missed the ball again.

Tall robot: Strike two.

Then again.

Tall robot: Strike three. One out.

Chris walked back to his team.

Chris: How could anybody hit a ball that fast?

Eggman: (chuckle) Loser.

Y/n: Says the fatso doctor that can't even win a single battle!

Eggman: Greetings. Okay, boys, send in the next sucker.

Tails was now the batter.

Tails: It'll probably be a fast ball.

The pitcher extended his hand and flicked it in the catcher's glove.

Tall robot: Strike one.

Tails: Hey, umpire, that's not fair.

Tall robot: What do you want? It's not my fault he's got long arms.

Y/n: Actually, he extended his arm, so techanically, his arm can be any length he wants.

Tall robot: No one asked you, light blue boy.

Amy was now the batter, but she was using her hammer instead of a bat.

Amy: Give me your best pitch, ball boy.

The pitcher threw the ball fast.

Amy: I got it.

Amy hit the ball and everyone except Knuckles and Y/n started cheering.

Knuckles: We might not lose after all.

Y/n: I wouldn't get too excited.

Another baseball robot caught the ball before it went out.

Tall robot: She's out.

Amy: Huh? But I thought...

Y/n: Told you.

Eggman started laughing hysterically and now it was the other teams turn to bat and Amy was the pitcher now.

Amy: Now I'll show 'em what I can do. I'm a much better pitcher anyway.

Y/n: Keep telling yourself that, Amy.

Amy: (growled) I'll show you!

She threw the ball really hard and it hit the batter robot and he came apart.

Mr. Tanaka/Tall robot: Oh!

The batter was finding his pieces.

Amy: Uh, sorry about that.

Y/n: Yep, we got the best pitcher in the world.

Amy threw the ball and a baseball robot started running and Mr. Tanaka caught the ball.

Tall robot: Strike.

Mr. Tanaka threw the ball to Tails and he caught it but the robot jumped over him and landed on first baseball.

Tall robot: Safe.

Tails: Losing isn't fun.

A baseball robot hit the ball.

Eggman: And it's out of the park!

Sonic ran and caught the ball while it was outside fence.

Tall robot: Home run. Home run.

Chuck: You caught it, Sonic, but if it's outside the fence, it's doesn't count.

Sonic: Who says we gotta play by the rules anyway? Cut me some slack.

Y/n: That's not what how we do it.

A baseball robot threw the ball and it got hit back by the ball and fell apart.

Amy: Sorry. That's a hit.

Knuckles than hit a home run.

Tall robot: Sad to say, but it's a home run.

Everyone started cheering as Knuckles ran the bases and the score was 32 to 35.

Y/n: Nice job, Knuckles.

Knuckles: Thanks.

Y/n turned his head.

Y/n: I think our actions have attracted some attention.

Knuckles: What makes you say that?

He pointed to some news reporters.

Knuckles: Oh.

Chuck: We're closing in on them. Now let's give it our best shot. Tanaka.

Mr. Tanaka: Yes, sir.

Chuck: I'm putting in a pitch hitter for you.

Mr. Tanaka: Huh?

Chuck: It's Cheese.

Cheese: Chao!

The pitcher robot threw the ball over Cheese.

Tall robot: Ball one.

Than again.

Tall robot: Ball two.

Than again.

Tall robot: Ball three.

Than the fourth time.

Tall robot: Ball four. Take your base.

Cheese flew to first base and Eggman growled.

Eggman: You big loser! You call yourself a pitcher?

Cream: Wish me luck.

Y/n: Remember what you've learned so far in training and use it to take the first two bases.

Cream: Don't worry, I'll use your training and my secret weapon to win.

Y/n: Okay, just do you.

Cream nodded and and she walked up to the plate.

Tall robot: Play ball.

The pitcher was going to throw the ball.

Cream: Oh, Mr. Pitcher. Could you maybe not throw the ball too hard? I've never played before.

The pitcher dropped ball.

Tall robot: Balk. Batter takes first base.

Cream ran to first base.

Cream: Thank you, Mr. Pitcher.

Eggman: I ought to throw you on a scrap heap!

Y/n: How does it feel to lose to a kid and her Chao?!

Eggman growled in anger and Knuckles hit another home run.

Chuck: All right, Knuckles, another home run.

Amy: That means we're tied!

Chris: (gasp) Look, everybody.

They all looked at the bleachers and saw there were a bunch of croweds on them.

Chuck: Huh?

Albert: Where'd all these people come from?

Y/n: I knew we were drawing addention, but I didn't think it be this much.

Sonic hit the ball and ran to first base with his full speed.

Eggman: You strike out that squirt or else...

Chris: Here, Y/n, I think you should do it.

Y/n: No, you can do this, Christopher. Just focus on the ball and hit it with all your strength.

Chris: Well, okay.

Chris walked up to the plate and he froze through the fastball.

Tall robot: Strike one.

Chris: Oh, no. What if I let the whole team down? I knew Y/n should have done this.

He missed again.

Tall robot: Strike two.

Sonic: Time out. Hey, Chris.

Chris walked over to Sonic.

Sonic: I know you can get a hit. There's nothing to it, Chris. All you have to do is concentrate.

Chris: (sigh) That's easy for you to say. He's pitching so fast.

Y/n ran up to them.

Y/n: That might be true, but if you give it your all you will be able to hit it, Chris.

Chris: You-

Y/n/Sonic: Now, get out there and do your best/win us that Chaos Emerald.

Chris: Okay.

Tall robot: Play ball.

Chris: (Thinking: Sonic and Y/n are right. I just have to keep trying and give it my all.

The pitcher threw the ball and Chris swung the bat but missed.

Tall robot: Strike three.

Chris: At least I tried my best.

Chuck: Chris, run!

Chris: Huh?

The catcher dropped the ball and ran after it than Chris started running and Sonic ran back to base while Chris made it to first base.

Tall robot: Safe.

Chris: I did it. I got to first base.

Sonic gave Chris a thumbs up and they got to 36 points and the team started cheering.

Eggman: Oh, yeah? Those bumbling clowns, they won't make a fool out of me.

Eggman pushed a remote and one of the baseball robots heads came of and went on Sonic's head.

Sonic: What's that?

Eggman: Oh, dear, my robot, it's malfunctioning. It will explode any minute now. Run, Sonic. Hurry. Run away!

Chris: Sonic, what're we gonna do?

Sonic tried to get the robot's head off but couldn't.

Sonic: He's trying to get us to forfeit the game. I gotta get rid of this thing quick.

He started running around but the head is still on his.

Sonic: Hey, you're really hanging on.

Knuckles: Sonic!

Sonic: Huh?

Knuckles: Jump, Sonic, hurry!

Sonic: Okay.

Sonic jumped really high and so did Knuckles.

Sonic: Hey, watch it, will ya?

Knuckles hit the head off of Sonic and it exploded.

Sonic: Thanks, you're a life saver.

Eggman: You may have beaten me at baseball, but with this shiny blue Chaos Emerald snuggled ever so safely in my pocket, I'm the real winner after all, aren't I?

He laughed maniacally and flew away in the Egg-carrier.

Amy: Now he has both the Chaos Emeralds.

Y/n: Completely untrue, we still have the green one.

Amy: Oh, yeah.

The crowd started cheering really loudly.

Y/n: Is this what being popular is like?

Than an African American man in a silver suit walked in the arena.

Chris: Hey, look, that's Elmer Johnson.

He walked over to Albert.

Elmer: I was watching from home. I must say it was quite a remarkable game. It's all thanks to you, Al, and i... Well, Al, I can't help but think how much you've done for the Diamonds over the years and what a great friend you've been.

Albert: Thank you.

Elmer: I'm thinking of moving the Diamonds turf over to the new stadium intact. I sure could use your help.

Albert: (gasp) Sure thing.

They both shook hands.

Chuck: Well, we may have lost the Chaos Emerald, but I think we've learned an important lesson about working together. And I'm sure you'll agree, we'll be even stronger next time we meet Eggman.

Y/n: I suppose so.

Y/n was about to run out but Tails stopped him.

Tails: I think you and I need to talk.

Y/n: I told you we were not on speaking terms for today.

Tails: Come on, just ten minutes.

Y/n: (sigh) Fine.

They both got into the X-Tornado.

To be continued.

A/n: Hey guys, there will be a mini story that will be all about Tails and Y/n's conversation coming Monday, so stay tune til then. Thank you.
