Darn it… I said I wasn't gonna do another long fanfiction. Between my own projects and college and stuff this shouldn't be possible. But this kept nagging me to write it and here I am. So um… yeah. Here I am…
Over the past year or so, I've been wanting an adventure show out of Sonic Boom and kept making a hypothetical plot for such a show and it intrigued me so much that I just had to write it. So… without further ado, I present to you "Sonic Boom."
Sonic Boom
Chapter 1:
Same Old Rivals
Desert. Barren land filled to the brim with sand, rocks and the rare bush devoid of any leaves made up this vast land along with a stray tumbleweed rolling along by here or there. Deep within the desert, the earth had opened up creating a canyon that ran along the wasteland.
Whoosh
Deep within a canyon, a pod zoomed along, trying to get away as quickly as possible. Atop said carrier was a middle aged man with a comically large moustache wearing spectacles over his beady eyes and rested firmly atop a pointed rosy red nose. He wore a red flight jacket with yellow cuffs as well as white gloves, topping off the outfit were his black pants and polished black boots. The odd thing about his outfit was the strange circular device strapped to his right arm by a metal band.
He grinned mischievously as he urges the pod forward, continuing his flight through the desert.
Swoosh
Just after him a cloud of dust was kicked up by long blue legs, making chase. A blue hedgehog with his quills swooped back behind his head as best as he could've mustered, of course this didn't stop a few of them from being slightly astray. The hedgehog wore white gloves, an old brown handkerchief that fit snuggly around his neck and a dirtied golden buckle adorned the top of red shoes that were wrapped in sports tape around his arms and legs.
"You can't lose me, Eggman!" The hedgehog called out, a cocky grin on his face as the man made a sharp turn around a bend.
The man growled, slamming his fist against the controls. "Urgh… It's Robotnik! You know my name is Doctor Robotnik, you spiny little pin cushion!"
"What was that, Eggman?" The hedgehog continued to mock him.
"Urrg… Sonic! Must we have this conversation every single time?!"
"Sure, I'll stop. As soon as you admit you're an Egghead, Eggman!"
Eggman just groaned before tapping buttons on his console, the speed of the machine then increased sending him out of the canyon, Sonic quickly following after him.
Unfortunately, what he saw when he came out of the canyon had him skid to a halt. It was a simple rock wall that reached high above their heads, the only way out was the way they came in.
"Haha, Sonic. I've finally lead you to your trap." Eggman grinned.
As if to make things worse, in front of the wall was a red humanoid robot that had a large hole in what would've been its chest, at the ends of the robots arms were two large spheres painted in alternating squares of dark and light brown much like a checkerboard.
Eggman then flew his Eggpod down into the center of the robot where he crossed his arms and smirked down at the blue blur.
"You think another one of your little toys is gonna stop me? All it means is that Cubot and Orbot are gonna have more cleaning up to do."
"We'll see about that." The doctor grinned, and with that the robot pounded the two spheres against one another and began to work.
The robot then reared back and took its first swing at him, upon its descent the ball popped out of the robots arm and came down connected by a chain, much like a mace.
The hedgehog simply ran out of the way, looking up at Eggman, rather bored with his attempt.
"You missed." He deadpanned.
So he swung down once again with the other arm only for Sonic to dodge again.
"Missed again."
"Agh! Hold still, you rat!" The scientist bellowed before swinging the balls faster now.
Swing after swing, Eggman still missed the hedgehog, a snarky remark thrown back at him with every shot.
Unfortunately for the blue blur, it was becoming a little more difficult to run around the area.
Every time that the ball came down a miniature crater was left in the ground. And with so many of these holes in the ground, he didn't really have clear paths to dodge.
Eggman swung down again and this time Sonic jumped away from the blow landing in one of the holes.
"What's wrong, Sonic?" Eggman asked. "Running out of space?"
"You wish, Eggbreath!" Sonic retorted.
He jumped again, narrowly missing the next impact.
As he dodged, Sonic couldn't help but wonder how exactly he was going to destroy the mechanical menace.
He knew he couldn't simply jump at it, Eggman's pod was too high and the joints of the machine itself looked like it could withstand a well-placed homing attack. The balls themselves might be a good idea. But then again, with the heavy impacts they were able to make on the ground; homing into them probably would've been suicide.
Dirt and rocks were upturned with the next blow, the doctor laughed maniacally as he kept swinging and swinging away.
"What's the matter, Sonic?" The doctor laughed. "It seems as if you're slowing down."
"Me? Slowing down? Please."
The Doctor swung once more, this time Sonic dove forward, just a hairsbreadth away from getting hit.
He got up and dusted himself off before jumping away from the next ball and landing on the other.
Sonic then looked curiously at the chain the connected the two spheres to the machine. They were large and looked pretty strong if they were able to hold those things in place.
Not only that, but they lead a path straight to the robot itself.
Sonic's confidence grew at that only for the ball he was standing on to be lifted up again, forcing him to jump off and land back on the dusty ground.
"Hey Eggman, are you actually gonna hit me or what?" Sonic asked. "My grandma is a better shot than you are."
Eggman swinging one of the spheres down once again.
Sonic dodged. But this time he hopped back onto the ball before quickly running up along the chain.
"What? No!" Eggman shouted before retracting the metal ball, but it was too late. Sonic had already hopped up onto the arm and had already jumped away, making his way towards the cockpit.
Sonic landed right in front of Eggman.
"Wazzup, doc?" The hedgehog smirked when he got a good look at the doctor.
"Get away right now, this is a delicate machine!"
"Delicate, huh?" The blue blur asked. "What a shame it would be if I did this!"
Sonic then reached for the controls and began pressing random buttons.
"No! Let go of that!" Eggman shouted.
The two then began fighting for the controls, only for the robot to do all sorts of random things. It was crashing against walls, swinging its spheres into random places and most of all just randomly spazzing out of control.
Soon, the two had their hands on the stick that controlled the right ball, which was now swinging above the head of the robot like a lasso.
"Give it!"
"No, you give it!"
"Delicate machines should not be treated this way!"
"And hedgehogs shouldn't either!"
Finally, Eggman was able to push Sonic away, causing him to fall to the ground, landing with a thud.
"Ow…" He groaned.
"Finally." The doctor let out a relieved sigh.
Sonic then looked up at the madman only to see the ball coming down on the robot.
"Incoming!" He shouted.
"What?" The doctor looked up and screamed at the sight.
The ball came down on the robot and with a sickening crunch it sent itself to the ground.
Eggman groaned only to look up and see Sonic leaning casually against the machine.
"Huh, I didn't even have to trash this one myself. Looks like you did that all on your own, Eggman."
"Urg…" The doctor growled, fiddling with the controls.
Within a few seconds, he was able to fly the eggpod out of the sparking machine.
"Running away again?" Sonic asked.
"Don't think this is over, Sonic!" Eggman shouted. "You silly little hedgehog, you don't even know what's coming! Next time we meet, I will destroy you."
"Just like how you destroyed me this time around or the last ten times?"
Eggman simply shook his head. "Joke while you can, Sonic. Next time, it will be different."
And with that, he turned and flew away.
"Yeah, keep dreaming!" The blue blur called after him.
He watched him go until he couldn't see him anymore. Finally, he let out a sigh and left the scene, dashing out of the canyon the way he came.
~Sonic Boom~
He finally made his way out of the village and slowed to a light jog.
The village was a simple clearing at the end of Bygone Island's jungle. Various wooden huts and houses had built upon trees and a great stone building stood a bit off to the side.
"Ah yes, Sonic!" A man called out to the hedgehog.
He looked up and saw a mousewaving him over. The mouse was a rather stout character wearing a cream colored suit and a long top hat of the same color. It was none other than Mayor E. Pluribus Fink, Esquire.
"How was the battle with Eggman today?" He asked. "Did he give you too much trouble?"
"No, it's alright. The village he won't be hurting the village anytime soon."
The mayor smiled. "Good to hear. Keep at it Sonic, you do a great help to us all. The people of this village are quite grateful for your services."
"No problem." Sonic shrugged. "Always happy to help."
The mayor nodded, giving the hedgehog a final smile of gratitude and a small wave before heading back inside the town hall.
Sonic returned the gesture and returned to his jog. He said hello to several villagers and most gave him halfhearted greetings and nothing more.
When he finally finished his victory lap, he decided to head home.
Sonic's shack was a simple beachside hut on the shore of Bygone. It was outfitted with a small kitchenette with a stove and a few cabinets as well as a little desk that sat in the corner of the living/bed room and a little hammock that he sleeps in as well as a few trinkets from previous outings with the mad doctor like a Crabmeat claw or a wind chime which he had made out of a few ragnium crystals.
He slinked into the room, dragging his long legs behind him.
During the time at home, he made a chili dog, played a game of solitaire and read a book. All the while looking pretty bored with himself.
After some time, he finally decided to turn in for the day, flopping onto the hammock, arms resting behind his head.
For a few short moments, it looked as if the hedgehog were going to get some sleep.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans for him. His ears twitched at a whirring sound.
At first, it started out as a low drone, nothing more. But it continued to get louder and louder, warranting his immediate attention.
He got up to his feet and quickly dashed outside.
Scanning his surroundings, it wasn't until he looked up into the sky when he found the source of the noise.
A smoking biplane was making its treacherous descent into the jungle, looking rather worse for wear.
Sonic immediately worried for the plane, not only was it going to land in the forest and possibly start a fire, but there also could've been someone inside. And if there was, then that someone could get hurt.
Sonic didn't waste time, he knew exactly what he had to do and boosted off, heading straight for the plane and whoever may lie inside.
And uh… that's it for chapter one. Rather short for me these days, but it's a good place to get started I suppose. I hope you enjoyed it and tell me what you think.
