Sonic Tournament: Chapter 1: Prolouge
Eggman sat in his egg-o-matic and looked down at his console and pondered what to do. He had just finished his plan to conquer the world using his latest weapon; the Chaos Cannon. He had used his latest machine, MultiMetal Monster (A combination of Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles and Metal Tails), to steal the chaos emeralds from their shrine in which Knuckles had placed them. He was quite sucsessful, and even managed to take the Master Emerald. Now, on the egg station, Eggman was looking at the array and wondering how to delay that pesky hedgehog... That was always the problem it seemed. Thing never seemed to work out when that annoying hedgehog was involved. Eggman looked at the console. "167:59:59:99" read the console as it had begun charging. 168 hours! A whole week for the charge up process!
Back on the planet, Tails had flown to the roof of his workshop and was peering through the telescope he had brought with him. He peered up into the sky to see something very strange. It looked like some kind flower shaped space station. It had aset of three diamond shaped solar panels on the left and right side, which actually mad in look a tiny bit like... Eggman's moustache! and as the station move into the light, he could clearly see the eggman icon on the six metal diamonds, doing that stupid grin he was so famous for. He then, also noticed a counter above a large hole in the center. It read 167:59:59:99.
'Oh crap!' thought Tails. He quickly ran inside and turned on the Sonic Tracker 200, so he could locate the blue blur, where ever he may be. He located Sonic on a direct course for his workshop, so Tails went out to meet him.
"Sonic!"
"What is it Tails!"
"I just saw something in the sky, and I really think you should see it too." said Tails. He Flew Sonic onto the roof of his Workshop, where Sonic took a look at the same station Sonic had just seen.
"It's Eggman alright... How will we get up there?"
"Fortunately for you Sonic, I have a solution." Tails led Sonic into his Hangar, and showed him... a pile of sheets.
"I hate to tell ya' buddy, but that's a pile of sheets."
"No Sonic, Look under the sheets!"
Sonic whipped off the sheets to see what looked like another tornado, except there was a black canopy over the cockpit, and between each set of wings was a rocket.
"What's this?" asked Sonic
"This is what's going to get me to Eggman's space station to defeat him."
"Wait a minute, YOU'RE going to defeat Eggman?"
"Well, yeah, it is my ship."
"Look Tails, who of us here has foiled every plan of Eggman's, hmm?"
"And look who's needed my help almost every time!" said Knuckles, who mystieriously turned up.
"Knuckles! Where did you come from!"
"Do you know how boring it is to sit on a floating island? Do you? I have to go somewhere else sometime!"
"I guess so. But don't you get in our argument. It's ours I tell ya, ours!" raged Sonic
"Yeah, yeah, but I'm the one going to Eggmans fortress or whatever it is." said Knuckles
"I think you guys are forgetting that it's my spaceship, so I'm going to the Egg Fortress!"
"No I am!" yelled Sonic
"Oh no you're not!" yelled Tails
Up above them in the rafters, Rouge was looking down at the squabbling trio and saw her chance to strike. She dropped down onto the machine, hopped in and activated the engines.
"Guess none of you boys are going!" she said as the rocket began to accelerate out of the open hangar.But, unfortunately, she awoke another of Tails's inventions. It was a hedgehog like robot, but had much thicker arms and the head was red. It had Yellow streaks all over and had lot's of black on it.
When it had fully activated, it said in a loud voice, almost exactly like Omega's
"Target recognized. Activating lazzoo now."
When he finished speaking, he conjured a lassoo which looked to be made of pure crystal blue energy. He seemed to shoot it out of his hands at the spacecraft, which he then, using his immense strength, pulled it back in.
"Hey no fair!" screamed Rouge as she was pulled back into the Hangar.
"Wow, thanks Re-123. You'll back me up on going to eggmans station, won't you?" said Tails
"Negative." stated the surly robot." I will be the one attending Robotnik's challenge."
"Re-123! You're against me too!"
The next morning, while the five were battling it out for the option to fight Eggman, a local news station who had recentley hired Amy Rose as Anchor woman, received a story from an unamed informant. They had just finished the story as the news went to air. Amy began to read of the cue.
"And in breaking news, It was discovered that Eggman has just launched his latest plot, something called the Egg Fortress, which will blow up this planet in less than a week. It is unkown though, whether Sonic the hedgehog is planing to take action, or even knows of this situation is unknown. Miles Prower has announced that he has built a rocket, but it is unknown wether he plans to launch it or not." Amy Rose reported. She tok a pause, then, on live television, lept up into the Air and said
"Sonikku and I can save the world again! Yay!" She then ran out the door of the building and went looking for Sonic, leaving several veiwers stunned.
Faraway, on a mountain peak, a polar bear was watching this 'Special' edition of the news with interest.
"So Eggman thinks he can rule the world again ha?" he said gruffly "I think I have something to say about that!" And with that, he lept off the peak and started using his Ice picks to swing from rock to rock, gradually moving towards the mystic ruins.
In yet another, far off place, a duck was sitting in his dynamite factory, smiling to himself. Life was perfect. He had his explosives, and that was all he needed. Then, as he was sitting on his pile of explosives, he lit his pipe. A newspaper then blew into his face, obscuring his veiw of his explosives.
"Lousy air coditioning... blow papers into my face will it.".
He then picked up a bomb from his pile, and lit it with his pipe. He threw it into the air conditioning, which in turn threw it back at him, the same way it threw the newspaper at him. He caught the bomb in his hand and defused it.
"Nothing is going to harm my explosives. Nothing except for me!" yelled the green duck, Bean. He then picked up the paper, and read the first article. He then read the second, which told him that the world would blow up in a couple of days.
"And blow up my explosives! I don't think so!" Bean then pondered how he would get to the egg fortress to blow it up. He read on through the paper and found out that some kid named Tails had a cool little space ship which bean could... borrow. With every intention of bringing it back, of course. He wasn't a thief.
"Well, that was a handy paper." he said, and then grabbed a couple of bombs for the trip.
At Cream the rabbit's residence, Cream and Cheese were trying to steal some cookies from the cookie Jar, but cheese found he wasn't strong enough to lift the lid and peer inside the Jar to find cookies. Sweet cookies. Seeing his distress, Cream went to find Chocola. but, it was to no avail. Cheese however, had finally taken the lid off the jar. Inside he found a note. It read.
'Dear Creme.
I have just taken your chao and your mother to my space station to use as slaves. You will never see them again.
Scinserely yours,
Eggman'
When Cream read the letter, she was stunned. She didn't know Chocola could do anything. She decided she would get Big to help her. She went out of her house with cheese,walked to the train station and took the train to the Mystic Ruins.
"I hope Mr. Big knows what to do, Cheese." said Cream on the way over to Big's house. When she found Big, he was taking a nap on his hammock.
"Mr Big, I need your help." said Cream.
"Mr Big?"
"MR BIG!"
Now frustrated at the purple behemoth of a cat, Cream picked up a nearby Frying Pan and began to beat Big on the head with it.
"Wake up Mr Big!" yelled Cream, now to the point of insanity. She then went and got a bucket of water and tipped it over his head.
"FROGGY!" yelled the large, blobby cat as he sprang out of his bed. Which didn't look to be to comfy, being made of wood and all.
"No Mr Big! It's Cream!" she yelled back at the massive feline. Big just looked at her with a confused expression.
"You know, little rabbit, helped you save the world."
"Oh! You're the funny little rabbit!"
"Yes. Now, Mr Big I need you to help me get my mother back, and my chao."
"Oh no, Cream, you're confused. It was just your chao, and we got him back."
"But he and my mother have been kidnapped by Eggman, Mr Big!"
"OK then. I guess we'll have to get them back." So, Big and Cream went in search of a spaceship, and, as Big only knew of one other building on the Island, he and Cream went to Tails's workshop.
In town, at the sparton-like headquaters of a detective agency, the Chaotix were greeting an old friend.
"Mighty! Good to see ya old buddy! How was your vacation!" said Vector in his usual overly loud voice.
"It was fine old buddy, but I don't think I'll ever vacation at seaside hill again. Eggman invading and all. And they said it was the hottest vacation spot on earth...Anyway, how has work been? Booming as usual? " said Mighty
"Well, to tell you the truth... there was only one job scince you left."
"WHAT! Only one lousy Job!" yelled a very much annoyed armidillo.
"Yeah...and it didn't pay." said Espio calmly.
"NO PAY!"
"Don't forget it was Eggman who hired us!" added Charmy chirpily.
"EGGMAN!!!" yelled a now red in the face red armidillo, however his soon to be tantrum was interupted by a telephone call. Espio picked it up gently.
"Chaotix Detective agency. We'll do any work that pays."
"Hello" said the Mayor of the city "Um.. Chaotix, it seems that we need your help. Bear in mind, we will pay you handsomly. It seems that Eggman has created his own Fortress in space, and we'll need you to bring it down.We have an agent, Ray the Squirel already working on it, but I think he'll need you help"
"Uh.. one problem Mayor." said Espio "We can't get into space."
"Yes, I prepared for this. Just meet Ray the squirel outside of Miles Prowers workshop in the mystic ruins ASAP."
"We're on it sir!" said Espio into the phone as he put it down. "We got work boys ! Let's go!" yelled Espio as he and the rest of the Chaotix headed out to the Mystic ruins, using the Chaotix mobile.
In the city somewhere, ontop of a building, a black and red hedgehog sat pondering what to do with himself, after he had done so many bad things before, destroying GUN was one of them, and he wanted to repay his debt to these people. He just needed something to help him do it. He looked down at the city, and he say on one of the buildings a large television, with Amy Rose sitting at the anchors chair.
"And in breaking news, It was discovered that Eggman has just launched his latest plot, something called the Egg Fortress, which will blow up this planet in less than a week. It is unkown though, whether Sonic the hedgehog is planing to take action, or even knows of this situation is unknown. Miles Prower has announced that he has built a rocket, but it is unknown wether he plans to launch it or not."
Shadow looked at the screen, but it was soon interupted by that familiar Egg-like physique
"Eggman!" yelled Shadow.
"Well you troublesome fools of this world, I have a new plan to take you all over! If you do not surrender this planet to me, prepare to have it blown up ! My Egg Fortress has more power than you can imagine! And if you don't beleive me" mocked the doctor "Take one look at your moon!"
Shadow turned his head to the moon, which there was only half of anyway thanks to him, as a bright red energy beam shot towards it. Sparks of red lightning came off it, and as soon as it collided with the moon, it engulfed it entirely, leaving nothing but empty space.
"Oh no!" yelled Shadow "What can I do!" he then remembered that back on the ARK, that fox- boy seemed to know alot... maybe he could help him. Yes... that would work.
Up on the Egg Fortress, a large amount of people were cheering for Robotnik. Despite the fact that he had programmed them to do that, he still thought it was nice. Only 161:56:59:48 left!
A/N:I may have put in some humor, but it was completely by accident.
