"Revenge of the Orange Chao"
a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic by Inflationcouplingist

Long ago, there existed a type of chao different from any other. They were given no name but often called 'orange chao' due to their orange color. They had the ability to inflate any living thing, even people, into balloons, except themselves or any other chao, and it was permeate. These type of chao could also could speak the English language. But these chao were evil, but not Eggman evil. Their goal was to inflate the world's population so it would be easy to take them over.

However, when Chaos supposedly wiped out the echidna population, leaving only one or two, he also wiped out these chao to stop their plot...

Or so the water being thought.

Modern Day: Angel Island

After the defeat of Dr. Eggman and his robotic Empire, life became peaceful again.

Tails had some time to work on other experiments, but he spent some time with his friends, including Vanilla and her daughter Cream.

Knuckles went back to guarding the Master Emerald in peace, but Tikal and Chaos have relinquished themselves of the emerald to be out in the living.

The Master Emerald had returned Maria Robotnik to life, but also to a 12 year old, golden yellow hedgehog girl.

Shadow the Hedgehog was happily reunited with her long lost friend and soon, he and Maria became a couple.

Sonic, however, was the same as always. He kept running away from Amy as usual, but he always felt shy whenever he saw the pink hedgehog.

One day, Tikal invited Amy, Cream, and Maria to join her to a nice, hot spring she used before Chaos wiped her clan out of anger.

"Ahhh...this feels so good." Amy sighed as the hot spring water somewhat massaged her.

"Mmmm...so nice and warm..." Maria purred.

"Feels like it takes the worries away." Cream said.

"I know what you mean." Tikal responded. "I come here every time I get I'm stressed out."

"Well...not all the worries." Amy replied, a bit down.

"What's wrong?" Cream asked.

"Oh...it's Sonic again." Amy answered. "He still keeps running away from me, even after Eggman's defeat."

"Maybe he's shy?" Maria asked.

"Shy?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, I've known Shadow before and he was always shy whenever he saw me approaching him." Maria told her. "He would blush and sweat like crazy."

Amy giggled at the thought of that. "You think...Sonic runs from me because he's shy?" she asked.

"Could be." Tikal. "One can hope."

The four girls laughed as they were soaked in the hot spring, unaware that they were being watched by chao like eyes.

"See the orange echidna girl?" one of the chao, an orange chao, spoke.

"Yes." the other chao spoke.

"That one is friends with Chaos, our clan's destroyer." the same chao told his fellow orange chao, obviously being the leader.

The chao became angry at the mention of that.

"If we could capture her, we could ransom her freedom from Chaos for the Master Emerald." the chao leader explained. "Then, when the moment is right, we strike!"

"But what of the other three that are with the echidna girl?" another orange chao asked.

"Kidnap them as well." the leader told them. "Any friends with her are friends with Chaos, and that makes them enemies to us."

The orange chao nodded in agreement and kept watch as they saw the four girls getting out of spring.

Tikal grabbed her shirt, dress, gloves, sandals, bra, and panties and placed them back onto her.

Cream grabbed her lil orange red dress, panties, gloves, socks, and shoes and placed them back onto her.

Amy grabbed her new sky blue dress, sky blue headband, sky blue shoes, panties, bra, socks, and gloves and placed them on her.

Maria grabbed her blue dress, white apron, white ribbon belt, blue headband bow, long socks, and black shoes and placed them onto her.

"Hehe, you look like a hedgehog Alice." Cream giggled.

"Well, it was the only thing I had left clean, so I figured why not?" Maria giggled.

"Looks nice on ya." Amy said.

"Well, so does your new dress." Maria replied.

'Hehe, thanks." Amy giggled.

"Come on, I'll lead you back to the teleportation pads." Tikal said.

Amy, Cream, and Maria nodded and followed Tikal towards Angel Island's teleportation pads, un aware that they were followed by the orange chao.

The girls walked for miles till they reached the forest they usually come up to, just not at night-ish.

"Oooohhh...I don't like going through the forest at night." Cream replied, scared a bit. "It's spooky."

"Don't worry, we'll be alright." Tikal said. She then stopped mid track. "Do you ever get the feeling like we're being...followed?"

"Now that you mention it...yeah." Maria said.

Suddenly, some ancient chatting occurred through the forest.

"W-Who's there?' Amy asked, scared but summoning her hammer. "I'm warning you!"

Suddenly, some golden pollen like dust came out of nowhere and sprinkled the girls.

"What is this?" Maria asked.

"It looks like...magical dust." Tikal answered, examining the golden dust.

"But who's...oooohhhhh..." Cream responded, feeling a wind like pressure coming from inside her. "I feel funny..."

"What's wrong?" Amy asked.

"I feel bloated." Cream answered.

"Wait a minute...I know this..." Tikal said., recognizing the dust and chanting, her eyes widening with fear. "We gotta run away!"

"Why?" Maria asked.

"I know this chant and dust, this is the special ability for the orange chao's inflation spell." Tikal told her friends.

"INFLATION?!" Amy, Cream, and Maria responded.

Cream became more bloated as her belly suddenly bulged and biggen with what appeared to be air. "Oooohhhh...help me...I'm becoming a balloon!" she pleaded. "HELP!"

Amy and Maria went to Cream to help air her out, but they felt bloated as well and their bellies bulged with air. They both screamed in fear as their bellies bulged.

Tikal looked around as her belly bulged and biggened. "B-But how can this be?" she asked. "I thought Chaos wiped them all out when..."

"Almost!" an orange chao said as the creature came out.

"O-Oh my..." Tikal whimpered as her and her friends' backs and sides bulged and inflated with their bellies, their clothes and panties forming around them and Maria's ribbon belt tearing apart.

"It seems you've heard of us." the chao said to the inflating echidna.

"I...I've seen you when I was a little girl." Tikal whimpered as her and her friends' arms and legs bloated. "You monsters are the reason my mother's gone."

"Oh, that was your mother?" the chao asked, smiling deviously. "Pity...I really liked her, too bad she had to die."

Tikal slapped the orange chao in anger before her arms were pulled upwards and felt them and her legs, along with her friends' arms and legs, getting puled in.

The chao growled in anger as the creature watched the four girls inflate into balloons.

The girls whimpered in fear as their arms and legs were fully absorbed into their round bodies and their groins touching the ground replacing their feet. Suddenly they each stopped inflating and became 4 balloon girls, each sporting the same height as Sonic (100 cm; Amy), Tails (80 cm; Cream), Knuckles (110 cm; Tikal), and Shadow (100 cm; Maria).

"Oohhh...I feel so big..." Cream whimpered.

"That's precisely the point." the orange chao told them. the raindrop creature then turned to a nearby bush where many other orange chao were present. "Take them away."

"Oh dear, we've got to get out of here!" Maria pleaded as she tried to run away.

"I can't move!" Amy replied, wiggling her useless feet. "We're helpless!"

The orange chao came and tipped the four balloons onto their sides and rolled them away.

"HELP!!!!!" the balloon girls cried.

*Moments later*

"CHAOS!, we have Tikal and her friends in custody and as balloons! If you are to free them, you must bring the Master Emerald to us and we will exchange the emerald and an incantation for their release! Any attempts to rescue them without the emerald, we will throw them off a cliff one by one and they'll plummet to their doom! Sincerely, the orange chao." the note said as Chaos held it.

"Blast!" Chaos spoke. "If I don't give them the emerald, they will die!" He turned to an angry Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, and a worried Vanilla and Cheese.

"Great! Just great!" Knuckles responded. "Those orange monsters turned the girls into balloons, kidnapped them, then threaten to kill them just for the Emerald! I wish that emerald was never created!"

"Hey, it's okay Knuckles, we'll get them back." Sonic told him.

"I know." Knuckles said.

"After what you told us Chaos, I don't know how we'll be able to save them." Shadow replied. "We might get turned into balloons as well."

"Maybe if we use the Chaos Emerald to go super, we can probably counter their spell." Tails said.

"But we don't have all of the Chaos Emeralds with us, I only got the one with me that I carry." Shadow told them, showing his green Chaos Emerald.

"Hmm...I do have an alternate solution." Chaos told them, showing the Master Emerald to them.

"Yeah...maybe we can use the Master Emerald to go super." Knuckles said.

"Yeah! We can do that!" Tails exclaimed. He then turned to a worried Vanilla. "Don't worry Miss Vanilla, we'll get Cream back."

"I...I hope so." Vanilla said, on the verge of tears.

"I guess you probably blame us for all of this." Tails replied.

Vanilla looked at Tails for a bit. "No, I don't." she said. "You were there when you saved me and Cream, I thank you for that. Just please, bring my daughter back to me."

"I will." Tails reassured Vanilla. "And I'll help you take care of her when this is all done."

Vanilla smiled and nodded.

Tails went with his friends next to the Master Emerald as it glew and its energy going into them.

*Meanwhile*

The orange chao waited for Chaos to arrive with the Master Emerald, but they were getting impatient with it.

Amy, Maria, Cream, and Tikal were stuck in holders next to a cliff as they whimpered in fear.

"Ooohhh...why didn't I see it coming." Tikal whimpered. "If I was strong like Knukkie, this would never have happened."

"Hey, its alright." Maria said. "It wasn't your fault. Neither one of us knew what was going to happen."

"I suppose." Tikal said.

"ERRRR...this is taking too long!!" the orange chao leader spoke in anger. "If Chaos doesn't show up in 5 seconds, I'll..."

"You'll do what?" Chaos asked as he came with the Master Emerald.

"CHAOS!" the girls responded.

"About time!" the chao leader said. "So you did cooperate with our agreement."

"I have." Chaos replied, placing the Master Emerald down. "Now release them!"

"Fine then...after I get the emerald's power." the orange chao said, going to the Master Emerald. "Now chant the incantation!"

"Alright..." Chaos spoke.

"Chaos, don't!" Tikal pleaded.

"What does the chao mean?" Amy asked.

"The chao wants the Master Emerald's power." Tikal explained. "With it, we're all doom."

"Oh my goodness!" Cream gasped.

Chaos spoke an ancient, echidna tribe language incantation and channeled it into the Master Emerald and the orange chao.

"Yes...yes...I feel its power." the orange chao leader said.

Soon, Chaos finished the incantation and stepped away.

"Thank you, now as we a greed, I'll let them go..." the orange chao leader said. The creature then smiled deviously. "Off the cliff."

"WHAT?!" the girls gasped.

"Start with the echidna!" the orange chao told its fellow chao. "Throw her off!"

The orange chao nodded and grabbed Tikal from her holder and took her to the cliff.

"But...you said that we would be released!" Tikal told the chao.

"True...but I didn't say to him." the orange chao told her, signaling the other chao to throw Tikal off.

The chao nodded and threw Tikal off of the cliff.

Tikal screamed in peril, but quickly closed her eyes and cried as she was plummeted to her doom...

Until a glowing red figure flew in at a fast speed and rescued Tikal.

Tikal slowly opened her eyes to see a glowing, red echidna flying and clutching onto her. "K-K-Knukkie...?" she asked.

"I'm here Tikal, you're safe." Knuckles said, in his super form and comforting the balloon echidna girl.

"What?!" the orange chao gasped. "You tricked us!"

"I did more than that!" Chaos said.

Suddenly, the Master Emerald glew a violent green and its energy went to every orange chao, including the leader.

The orange chao leader growled in anger as it turned to the other three balloon girls. "Throw the rest of them..." The creature then saw the other three had disappeared.

"Up here!" Sonic yelled as he, Tails, and Shadow in their super forms rescued Amy, Cream, and Maria form their captors.

The girls nuzzled and cried as they were saved.

Suddenly, the Master Emerald opened a vortex and began sucking the orange chao inside it.

The orange chao leader held onto the ground as much as it could, but the suckage was so powerful, it was dragged in. "You think by sucking us in the Master Emerald you've protected the world?!" it asked.

"Wrong..." Chaos said.

The vortex in the Master Emerald died out, but then it cracked and shattered itself into a dust cloud that spread through out Angel Island.

"Guess it's over." Shadow said.

"Guess so." Sonic agreed.

Amy cried and sniffed as she nuzzled Sonic. "I...I thought we weren't going to see you again." she spoke.

"Don't worry, we're here." Sonic replied, comforting Amy.

"But Tikal...she's..." Cream spoke, saddened by the loss of Tikal.

"I'm what?" Tikal responded as she was carried by Knuckles.

"Good, you've caught her." Tails said.

"Just in time too." Knuckles said.

Maria nuzzled Shadow gently. "Oh Shadow, I...I want to go home." she pleaded.

"Don't worry, you will." Shadow told Maria.

"Let's get them all back home." Tails said.

"I'll take Amy back to my place." Sonic told them.

"Okay." Knuckles said. He flew in the direction towards his house, carrying Tikal.

Sonic flew at super sonic speed towards his house, carrying Amy tightly.

Tails flew towards Cream's house at the same super sonic speed while he carried Cream tightly.

Shadow used Chaos Control to take himself and Maria towards their home, the newly re-designed ARK base.

Chaos returned back to his lagoon so he could get some sleep after the day he had.

*Knuxikal Scene*

Knuckles flew and flew till he reached his house. He flew towards his front door and powered back to his original form. "Here you go Tikal." he told her. "You're safe."

"Thank you..." Tikal replied, frowning.

Knuckles carried Tikal into his house and settled her down on her groin. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's...my fault." Tikal told Knuckles. "It's my fault that me and the girls are balloons. I-If I was strong like you, we would..."

"Shhhuuu..." Knuckles responded, calming Tikal down. "It's alright Tikal. It's not your fault."

Tikal teared and sniffed a bit. "This...this was the same reason my mother was killed." she said. "T-T-Those monsters turned h-her into balloon and...and..." She teared and cried even more.

Knuckles hugged Tikal gently as he soothed and calmed the balloon echidna down. "It's alright, I'm here." he told her. "I won't leave you."

Tikal teared and cried as she looked at Knuckles.

"Nothing bad will ever happen to you again, I promise." Knuckles told her. "I'll take care of you."

"Like you did when you guard the Master Emerald?" Tikal asked.

"No." Knuckles said. "Better, because it's someone I love."

Tikal sniffed as she looked at Knuckles, smiling a bit.

"Here, let me get you into a bed." Knuckles said, going over to his closet and grabbing a bunch of pillows and blankets, making a giant pillow bed.

Tikal watched as the red echidna made a pillow bed for her.

Knuckles came and placed Tikal onto the bed, getting her comfortable on the many pillows and removing her sandals and gloves. "There, nice and comfy for my Tikal balloon." he said, removing his shoes and gloves as he laid himself onto her and blanketed himself and her with many blankets.

"Thank you, Knukkie." Tikal spoke. "For everything."

Knuckles smiled and hugged Tikal gently.

"I've never felt so protected...so warm...so loved." Tikal whispered. "I love you my handsome echidna protector."

"I love you too my beautiful echidna balloon." Knuckles whispered, his head approaching hers and his lips touching and kissing hers.

Tikal purred as she kissed Knuckles as lovingly and passionately as she could.

Knuckles slowly broke the kiss and nodded off, purring and hugging Tikal.

Tikal nodded off as well, purring and snuggling her head in her balloon of a body.

*Sonamy Scene*

Sonic approached his house and flew down to the door, powering down to his original form. "We're here." he told Amy, carrying her inside.

"Thanks..." Amy responded, a bit sad.

"Hey, I'm sorry that I couldn't come to your aid earlier to prevent this." Sonic told her.

"I know...you probably had something better to do than save me all the time." Amy replied.

Sonic looked confused as he carried Amy into his house. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well...you're always running off somewhere, and you run away whenever I come to you." Amy explained, frowning. "It hurts me when you do that."

"I'm not running from you this time." Sonic told Amy. "You need someone to take care of you in your current situation."

Amy looked away from Sonic, a bit sad.

"Hey...I'm sorry I've kept running away." Sonic told her, carrying her up to his bedroom. "I've been saving the world many times, I didn't want anyone I cared about to get hurt."

Amy opened her eyes and looked at Sonic as she was taken towards his bedroom.

"Let me just make you comfortable." Sonic told Amy.

"O-Okay." Amy responded.

Sonic carried Amy to his bedroom and placed her on his bed, removing her headband, gloves, shoes, and socks before he tipped her on her back onto the bed.

Amy struggled to get herself comfortable in the bed, but she couldn't move herself to do so.

Sonic came over and laid on top of Amy, removing his gloves and shoes. "I'll make sure you get treated like a queen." he said. He hugged her and felt how soft she became. "Man...you're so soft and warm."

"Thank you." Amy spoke, smiling a bit.

"You're welcome Amy." Sonic said, nodding off as he hugged the balloon hedgehog.

Amy looked at Sonic sleeping and blushed. *Sonikku might be mad if I do it...* she thought with worry. *But...I never got a kiss form him at all.* She slowly puckered her lips and kissed the sleepy blue hedgehog, her eyes closing.

Sonic woke up half asleep as he felt Amy kissing him, but he smiled and cradled her head, deepening the kiss.

Amy opened her eyes wide as she felt the kiss deepen.

Sonic slowly broke the kiss and stared at Amy lovingly. "I love you Amy Rose." he whispered.

Amy looked at Sonic as if she was about to cry, but she smiled cutely. "You don't know how long I wanted to hear those words from you Sonikku." she whispered.

Sonic smiled and purred as he hugged Amy and brought a blanket over to keep them warm. "Goodnight my puffy pink rose." he whispered lovingly.

"Goodnight my true blue hero." Amy whispered, snuggling her head into her balloon body.

Sonic and Amy both nodded off, smiling and in love.

*Taiream Scene*

Tails flew Cream towards her house, where Vanilla was waiting for them.

"Umm...Tails?" Cream asked. "Does my mama know about this?"

"Yeah...she does." Tails answered.

"Does she...blame you and the others for this?" Cream asked sadly.

"No, she doesn't." Tails answered.

"I see." Cream responded as Tails flew back to her house, with Vanilla waiting for them.

Vanilla saw them and ran up towards them before she grabbed Cream and hugged her. "Oh my Cream!" she cried.

"Mama..." Cream replied, nuzzling her mother as they were runited.

Tails landed and powered back to his original form as he saw Cream and Vanilla reunited.

"Oh thank you so much Tails!" Vanilla told the two tailed fox boy.

"You're welcome Miss Vanilla." Tails said.

"I...I thought I'd never see you again." Cream cried.

"It's alright, mama's here." Vanilla said as she soothed her balloon daughter.

Tails smiled at the sight. "Well, I guess I better get back home." he said.

"Oh Tails, you can stay here tonight." Vanilla replied.

"Really?" Tails asked.

Vanilla nodded. "It's the least I could do after you saved my daughter." she said.

"Okay." Tails agreed.

Vanilla smiled as she carried Cream into the house while Tails followed her.

Cream nuzzled her mother as she was taken inside.

Vanilla placed Cream on the couch and grabbed a bunch of pillows, an king sized air mattress, and many blankets.

Tails came in and helped Vanilla make the bed.

"Thanks for the help Tails." Vanilla said. "Your bed's now ready."

"Thank you." Tails replied, removing his shoes and gloves and got in the bed.

Cream smiled as she looked at Tails. "Hehe, nice and comfy?" she asked.

Tails nodded.

"Hmm...maybe you'll like some one to sleep with." Vanilla said, grabbing Cream.

"Huh?" Tails and Cream wondered.

Vanilla removed Cream of her gloves, shoes, and socks and placed her next to Tails, tucking her in. "There." she said, smiling.

Cream giggled as she laid in the bed on her back. "Hehehe, thank you mama." she said.

Vanilla smiled. "You're welcome dear." she replied.

Tails and Cream smiled before they looked at each others' eyes.

"You know, after a hero save a damsel, the damsel gives the hero a kiss." Cream told Tails, blushing.

Vanilla came over to Tails, smiling as she looked at him and Cream.

Tails blushed at the mention of that. "I...I would like t-to..." he said nervously. He then felt Vanilla push his head towards Cream's and kissed her.

Cream went eye as Tails kissed her.

They were both shocked, but they calmed down and melted in the kiss.

Vanilla smiled at the kiddy love scene before her. "Goodnight you two love birds." she said, going to the couch and lying down to sleep.

Tails and Cream slowly broke their kiss and cuddled up against each other.

"Goodnight Cream, I love you." Tails whispered. "You puffy balloon bunny."

"Goodnight Tails, I love you too." Cream whispered. "You heroic golden fox."

The two nodded off, cuddled up and in love, with Vanilla approving it of course.

*Shadmaria Scene*

Shadow teleported himself and Maria to the ARK base and powered himself back to his original form and color.

Maria continued nuzzling Shadow as she was held in his grasp.

"There there, I'm here Maria." Shadow soothingly said.

Maria smiled as Shadow soothed and calmed her. "Thank you Shadow." she said, giving the black hedgehog a kiss.

Shadow blushed and kissed Maria back. "Here, let me get you to bed." he said, carrying Maria towards her bedroom.

Maria smiled and cuddled Shadow as she was carried.

Shadow smiled and cuddled Maria back. "Mmm...my, you're so soft and puffy." he responded.

"You know I was scared about being a balloon at first, but it feels wonderful beign all round and puffy." Maria told Shadow.

"Oh really?" Shadow asked.

"Especially when I was rescued and taken care of by a handsome black hedgehog." Maria added, her blue eyes sparkling.

Shadow smiled as he carried Maria to her bedroom, placing her on her bed and removing her shoes, long socks, revealing her frilly white panties, and her headband bow. He removed his shoes and gloves and hopped onto the bed cradling and caressing the balloon hedgie.

"Ooohhh...I just love it when you come onto me." Maria told Shadow.

Shadow grabbed Maria and tipped her onto him, blanketing himself and her and cuddling her like a pillow.

Maria cooed and purred as she was hugged. "I love you Shadow." she whispered.

"I love you too Maria." Shadow whispered back, purring and putting his lips on hers, kissing her.

Maria purred as kissed Shadow back lovingly as she snuggled him with her puffy body.

Shadow slowly broke the kiss as he hugged Maria. "Goodnight my golden balloon hedgie." he whispered.

"Goodnight my black ultimate hedgie." Maria whispered.

Shadow and Maria slowly nodded off and slept in the vast amount of space peacefully.

From that point, the heroes lives had never been the same...along side their ballooned girls, their lives were better than ever.
