I was playing Sonic Colors today (it's a great game by the way for you fans who have been saying Sonic hasn't been in shape lately) and was trying out the Sonic Simulator part of the game and thought: Hmm… How ironic would it be if Sonic's next game involved him being TRAPPED in a video game? That's what this fic is mostly about.
I'll try updating my other stories but at the moment, I have no drive to (Lazy… Sorry fans of Unknown Solider *Sweatdrop*) But I will update after I get a new battery for my laptop and have the drive to write. I promise that. Now, let this stall you for a bit longer so I can sneak away from the angry mobs xD
And yes, Cubot is so abused in this story xD
Some lines from past Sonic games are in here as well, doubt anyone can tell which from which.

Chapter 1: Oh the Irony…
"Well, well then. Hey there, Doctor!" Oh how he loved irritating the "good doctor." It was fun watching as his brow narrowed in deep frustration and pound his fist onto a nearby object, which was usually that robot Cubot. He tapped his foot on the smooth metal under the soles of his sneakers as he boredly picked his ear with an index finger, relaxed and nonchalant. He heard that the doc was up to something so as usual, he shot off to see what his egg-shaped playmate was up to.
"Didn't your mother ever teach you to knock before entering?" Huffed the said doctor, who was called Dr. Robotnik but to Sonic: He was simply Eggman, which caused the big-bellied man to flail in distaste and smack Cubot to the side. He turned from where he sat, arms resting on the rests; his fingers padding the handles of the chair in frustration. "Rude little…"
"Not really." Confessed the blue blur, grinning a toothy smile as he slouched his shoulders carelessly and leaned back into thin air.
"Well. Let me teach you how to knock." There was a sudden smile lifting along the fat-bellied doctor's mouth, causing his unnaturally long mustache to lift upwards a bit as his fingers suddenly typed avidly along the handle of his black-leathered chair. The soft clicking of buttons pulled the Hedgehog's attention as he watched the man fold his hands along his lap with a devious grin. (Picture the E.G.G.M.A.N theme playing.)
Ohhohoho! Came the doctor's laugh as the chair he sat in pulled him backwards into the nearby wall. What a creepy laugh, decided Sonic as he awaited with bored drooping eyes at the old doc's sudden withdrawal.
The man soon returned in a large mech, dog-like in origin and quite big; but not nearly reaching the ceiling. It the head was where Dr. Robotnik now resigned, his two small loonies Cubot and Orbot sitting near his side. Cubot was whooping with joy, his hands tight together as he danced about from the cockpit, although was promptly slapped away by the "good doctor's" left hand in irritation. Orbot rolled his eyes and went after his cube-headed "sibling." "Try and stop this you stubborn little hedgehog!" Chimed Dr. Robotnik, grinning as he examined his 'playmate.'
Sonic, through out the entire appearance of the bot, had backed away with weary steps although now grinned up at the round-bellied sir. He waved his hand along his long and drooping quails as he stared up with an impressed huff. "Nice dog, Doc. But you know, Eggster…" Robotnik, from his cockpit, allowed a faint "Its Robotnik!" slip as he glared daggers at the lean-framed rodent. "I didn't know you were an animal person."
"I like animals but…" Dr. Robotnik played with his mustache. "Its little blue hedgehogs that push my buttons." He pressed a button and the massive dog-shaped machine boldly stepped forward, head lowering so itself and Robotnik could look Sonic in the eyes. Sonic met his stare silently, for once-looking serious as the twosome gazed quietly at one another. If looks could kill, Sonic could have been in the hospital with no rings. "Fetch." At that word, the creature lunged at the Hedgehog; who of course sped away with a dramatic pounce and spindash. Dust flew and the chase had begun.
The giant beast pursued Sonic rather quickly, bounding quite gracefully for a mech its size. Sonic had to admit: Dr. Robotnik could make the best robots. Although… he had the worst habit of placing a large blinking "Just Hit Me!" spot on all his machines. Coming to a sudden rail, the Hedgehog swerved in its direction and grinded along it with the soles of his sneakers, grabbing some random rings along the way before pouncing to a platform. The dog struggled to reach him and Sonic could hear vague cursing from the old scientist Ivo.
Eyes green as the Master Emerald itself, avidly scoped the robot over until suddenly; his sight rested on the shoulders of the dog-like mech. Two ball-like things rested there, filled with pulsing green fluids.
The fuel tank! Sonic decided as he prepared to jump, although was nearly shot down by a swarm of angry bullets from the gunpoint located in the gaping jaws of the dog mech. Sonic dashed along the catwalk then before leaping forward. He tucked his head into his belly and soon was soaring ball of spiked blue. The blue blur aimed and with his homing attack, broke the glass around of the ball filled with liquid. It shattered and Sonic grinned happily as he skidded away with an angry Robotnik at his heels. With his hand, he wiped some of the green slime from his cheek and light-dashed across some rings.
"Come and get some Eggman!" Sonic taunted, turning his back away so he faced the machine in which Dr. Robotnik was inside of.
"Your manners are as bad as ever!" Snapped the doctor, who now found some trouble in controlling his mech. No matter… All of this was going as plan. "I'll… I'll crush you! Fetch Egg Canidae!" The dog mech pounced, nearly crushing the blue blur into the hard metal floor of the tubby man's quite ginormous lab area. Dust buffeted the air as Sonic barely managed to avoid the blow, although a stray hind foot caused the heroic rodent to lose his rings.
"Ouch! That hurt!" Gasped Sonic as he got up and jogged to grab his missing rings. Turning, the Hedgehog watched as the Egg Canidae (1) pursued after, although suddenly stopped and lowered its head; massive metal-wired jaws opening. Bullets blasted madly and Sonic ducked before pouncing to the side. The head followed, making a growl sound all the while.
Taking cover behind a metal crate, the Hedgehog put his large gloved hands to his pricked ears; thinking earnestly now. Gotta cut the games and think… How am I going to reach the other fuel ball? Eggman's covering it now… Wait. The Hedgehog hero peaked his head around, now watching as he saw something interesting… "Hello!" Sonic snapped his fingers. "I'll slam the armor off and finish it off with a bounce! Perfect!…" Now with this new strategy, Sonic sped from his hiding place with a loud spindash, earning Dr. Robotnik's attention.
"There you are! Hold still so we can play!" Barked Robotnik, steering the robotic dog in his rival's direction; now hot in pursuit. Sonic smelled smoke and noticed the right shoulder he had attacked very earlier was of course slowing the metallic beast down. Sonic watched as the Egg Canidae followed, snarling as a click was heard. Its jaws opened and the Hedgehog saw the gunpoint that hid the soon-to-fire bullets.
"Hehe." Sonic grinned, shooting forward with a graceful bound; his shoes beating the floor violently as he ran. Soon, he went airborne. Bending his knees in and kicking off the metal floor, the Hedgehog hero sprang into the air and threw himself forward. Bam! Sonic attacked the rims of the dog's mouth and watched with alert eyes as the old doctor pulled his machine back. To slow! The Hedgehog steered himself midair and lunged at the armored shoulder and watched as the shielding snapped and cracked; breaking off as Sonic gave it the final blow.
The dog gave a shrill cry of pain and Robotnik winced as the shoulders went off into flames. Some booms went off as Sonic evaded the destruction. "You stubborn little Hedgehog!"
He landed gracefully away on a nearby catwalk, turning with a gleeful snort. "Victory! Thy name is Sonic!" With a pose of victory, his head lifted high and his fingers shaped into a thumbs up; an prompt 'A' was given to him although it was disrupted by a sudden noise. His head turned and he peered forward to spot a shady sir on a nearby catwalk… clapping? "What the…?"
"You never cease to amaze me, Blue Hedgehog." Chuckled the man, peering at the mess as Robotnik scrambled out from the remains and followed Sonic's stare. Sonic suddenly swallowed, finally realizing the voice.
"Eggman Nega!" He pointed his finger forward, head lowering as he seemed to bare his teeth. The said Doctor grinned happily and laughed good-humouredly.
"Nice job bringing him here, Ivo. I almost thought you wouldn't pull it off." If Nega was here… did that mean… "Sonic. Would you like to try a new game of mine? Robotnik and I have been working on it for sometime and we do need a willing ginny pig."
Sonic snorted and crossed his arms matter-of-factly. "Yea right, Eggster. I'm not a video game person. More of a 'kick butt ask questions later' kind of guy." He grinned and he heard a faint sound from Robotnik that sounded like an 'hmp!'
"Well, your friend is already testing it out. How about you join her? Hmm?" Her? Sonic was utterly confused but had a vague idea of what the Dr. Robotnik clone was rambling about. Although, he wasn't prepared for the sudden drop in the floor and yelled out in more surprise rather then fear. He landed in some kind of pod and pressed his palms into the glass.
Push. Push. Push. Shove. Nothing. Sonic calmly coughed. "Yo Eggman Nega. I'm no gold fish. First you guys call me a rat and now hint I'm a fish? Rude!" He caught a glimpse of something in another pod and blinked. Was that…? "Blaze?"
She wasn't exactly awake. Out cold it seemed and Sonic could only guess why. "I'll show you rude." Grunted Robotnik, who by now was in the other room with his darker counter part. Sonic could only guess how'd this end. It always ended with Nega losing it and turning on Robotnik. You'd see. The Hedgehog suddenly heard the chamber shake and he tossed about before trying to swat away a wire that was struggling to dodge his irritated hand.
"Hey! Quit it! Bug off wire… bug thing!" Although, things went a bit tipsy when it clung to his neck. It didn't hurt at all, just made him fade in and out until: He was simply out of it, slumping against the glass of the pod behind him and closing his eyes. He soon was out cold.
