The Blade Men
Chapter 1
Dr. Eggman is having a bit of a rampage in his lab, throwing stuff around, banging on walls and well stuff and throwing a chair out of a window. "Gaaaaah! How am I going to kill that STUPID...BLUE...HEDGEHOG! AHHHHH!"
After about 10 minutes Eggman was at his desk, with a bunch of scraped pieces of paper, including a large pile of paper. "There has to be something I can use."
Dr Eggman then slammed his hands on the table and a small sharp pencil rolled down from the pile of paper and onto a drawing of robot with a big right arm, compared to it's other arm which was really small. This gave Eggman an idea.
"Blade men, Blade men!" Eggman announced proudly. "That's it, I'll give it so much power, so much intelligence, that it can even out smart that flying fox!"
Eggman immediately begun his project, he drew a man, that had normal things like limbs, but he drew the right arm with a long blade, there was no face and to make it so that the blade men could change their appearance, Eggman made it that they were made from liquid metal (Like the T-1000 from Terminator 2), that they were at least seven feet tall and had no emotion.
He then moved on to a machine with a large tube where he could make the Blade men.
He activated the machine and a bright green light appeared on the Eggman's glasses.
He watched in joy as the percentage bar went up. 95%...97%...98% "Yes, Yes, YES!"
"MACHINE FAILURE, PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER." a automatic voice said.
"Oh you little!" Eggman said quickly and kicked the machine, which caused it to go up to 100%.
"Finally." Eggman watched with evil glee, as a tube opened up and smoke came from the tube, a man stepped out slowly and came towards Eggman.
"Hehehehe. Do you know who I am?" Eggman laughed evilly.
The man said nothing as other men came out of the tube, one at a time, slowly.
The smoke went away and blade men were revealed, their skin was a shiny silver, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, just a head.
"You can't speak, but you-no everyone will know me as the man who finally kills Sonic the Hedgehog!" Eggman laughed manically, as the Blade men changed their appearance into people with dark cloaks, with the hood up.
"Now, as your first mission, terrorize Station Square and get the blue nuisance's attention." Eggman commanded.
"Yes master." the Blade men said in unison and walked out of Eggman's base, with loud footsteps everytime the Blade men made a step.
The civilians of Station Square where doing, well what people normally do, driving cars, eating at cafe's and restaurants and walking.
However there was a long line of cars that was being blocked by something.
At the front of the line, there was 5 cloaked figures in black, standing side by side.
"Hey! Can you move out the way!" a angry civilian shouted from his car, which was in the front.
The man in the middle walked towards the car at the front.
"What the hell are you doing?" The man asked angrily.
The cloaked figure changed his appearance revealing himself to be a blade man.
"What the?!" everyone watched in horror as the blade man striked the car with the large blade on his hand.
The people ran out of their cars in fear as the rest of the Blade men revealed themselves and started attacking the civilians.
The rest of the civilians ran away in fear from the blade men as they followed the civilians.
The Blade men even threw cars at the civilians.
(Elsewhere)
Sonic and Shadow are in a random place, trying to catch a robot the Eggman created.
"Why is Eggman planning on destroying this small town again?" Sonic asked.
"Because he's trying to take over the world, like always." Shadow said, before seeing a small robot with a bit of an orb, for it's chest. "There!"
The robot saw Sonic and Shadow and attempted to get away, but immediately got caught by Sonic.
Sonic was struggling to keep it still, when Shadow came and brutally punched the robot, causing it to be destroyed.
"Well, that's the problem out of the way." Sonic said.
"Not exactly, look." Shadow pointed towards a tape recorder.
"Guys? Are you there?" a voice said.
Sonic grabbed a walkie talkie that was on his hip and held it up to his ear. "Yeah we're here Tails."
"Station Square is under attack! Some guys with a large blade on their arm are-." Tails got cut off.
"Tails? Tails!" Sonic attempted to communicate with Tails, but there was no response.
Sonic and Shadow looked at each other, then Shadow grabbed the tape recorder and pressed the play button.
"Ho Ho Ho! You boys really are trying to stop me at every moment right now aren't ya? Well, at the time you are probably hearing this, Station Square is under attack by my latest and greatest creation, The Blade men! So you better get back home of you want to see your friends." It was Dr. Eggman.
"Uh oh." Both hedgehogs gulped at the same time.
"Eggman's invention must've been the one that attacked the others!" Sonic shouted
"Let's go." Shadow said.
"And quick." Sonic said, before he and Shadow sped off back home.
Meanwhile
Tails, Knuckles, Rouge and Amy were held captive by the Blade men.
"Let go of us!" Rouge shouted, while one of the Blade men held her hands behind her back.
"Silence!" the Blade man, that was holding Rouge, commanded.
"Why are you doing this?" Amy asked, while being held by another Blade man.
"They are controlled by me!" Eggman came into view, on his flying...thingy.
"What's your plan this time Eggman?" Tails asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Taking over the world, Attempting to kill Sonic, all that sort of stuff." Eggman said.
"Well, what are these guys for?" Knuckles asked referring to the Blade men.
Eggman smirked. "Show em'."
One of the Blade men threw Rouge to the ground and impaled her through the chest.
"NO!" the others shouted.
Liquid metal began to consume Rouge's body. "No." Rouge said weakly, before the liquid metal fully took over her body.
The others looked in shock as the Blade man took his arm out of Rouge's stomach.
Rouge got up and like the Blade men, She had a full body, but no face.
"Ho Ho Ho! Maybe if you do what I say, you won't be like her." Eggman threatened. "Take them back to the base!"
The Blade men grabbed the others and took them back to Dr. Eggman's Base.
"Soon, I will win, after so long, I WILL WIN!" Dr Eggman laughed maniacally and flew back to his base on his machine.
A few moments later
Sonic and Shadow came rushing into Station Square, but they were too late.
Destruction was everywhere, cars on fire, buildings destroyed and the worst part, the rotting corpses of the civilians, they were in cars, half of them leaning out windows and some are even on the ground.
"Why would Eggman do this?" Sonic asked, a bit depressed.
"Eggman wouldn't kill anyone, I guess the inventions that Eggman made have a mind on their own." Shadow thought then saw a silver liquid on a nearby corpse.
He walked over to it and dabbed his fingers into the liquid.
"What is that stuff?" Sonic asked.
"Some sort of liquid." Shadow said rubbing his fingers in it.
"Weird." Sonic said.
"Yeah." Shadow got up and wiped his fingers on Sonic.
"Hey!" Sonic shouted.
"Relax, it's harmless." Shadow said.
But then the pair heard something, coming from a nearby alley.
Sonic and Shadow looked at the alley and saw the silhouette of a person.
"Hello?" Sonic called out.
"Don't" Shadow grabbed Sonic's shoulder.
"Why?" Sonic asked.
"What if it's one of Eggman's robots?" Shadow suggested.
Just then they heard a loud footstep, coming from behind them, then beside them and then above them.
"We should head back to the garage." Sonic suggested in fear.
"I second that." Shadow agreed.
Just then the silhouetted person came out of the shadow, it was a Blade man.
"Now we run!" Shadow commanded, but got grabbed by the mouth by another Blade man.
"Shadow!" Sonic was about to help Shadow, when he got knocked aside. "UGGH!"
Sonic got back up and saw Shadow being consumed by the same liquid like substance. "NO!"
Shadow (Who I am going to call Blade Shadow, because reasons) got up and looked at Sonic.
Then other Blade men came out of the alley's surrounding Sonic.
"Uh Oh." Sonic turned to face each Blade men and realised they were closing in on him.
He couldn't make a run for it as the Blade men came from each direction.
Sonic fell to the ground and saw that the Blade men were about to strike him and he closed his eyes...but nothing happened.
Sonic didn't dare open his eyes.
"Hello! You can open your eyes!" A male voice said.
Sonic still wouldn't open his eyes, then the man slapped him across the face.
Sonic opened his eyes and rubbed his cheek where the man hit him.
"Thank you!" Sonic saw that it wasn't a human, but a lavender mobian hedgehog.
He was wearing a dark grey vest, grey gloves, light grey joggers and blue multi-coloured sneakers.
"Oww, who are you?" Sonic asked getting up.
"I'm Rover, now can you help me?" Rover asked furiously.
"OK, why are you in such a hissy fit?" Sonic asked.
Rover took a deep breath. "I had a group with me, but they got caught, and those...guys stabbed me in the stomach."
Rover lifted part of his vest and revealed the injury he sustained.
"Woah." Sonic gasped in shock
"No need to stare at it." Rover said, pulling his vest down. "Take a look around if you want, but don't touch anything!"
Sonic looked around and saw that there was a bunch of computer screens with a security feeds, a door that had a metal rod through the handles and a table with a large map of Station Square, Central City and even Seaside Island.
Also there was a large symbol on the wall (I actually don't know how to describe it, I mean, i've got it in my head and all, but I just can't describe it! Maybe I might be able to do something with it, but in the meantime, just think of it as Sonic Team's logo)
"So is this your hideout Rov?" Sonic asked.
"Yes and don't call me that." Rover said.
"Ok, sorry." Sonic apologized.
"Thank you, now I've got a plan to defeat those creatures." Rover said.
"Alright what is it?" Sonic asked curiously.
"Well first off, we need to get out of here..." Rover then pulled out a gun that looked like a flare gun and fired, nearly hit Sonic's shoulder.
"Woah! What the?!" Sonic turned around and saw a Blade man that had a massive hole in it's head.
It then fell down to the ground, dead.
"Where did he come from?" Sonic asked, shocked.
"Part of him must have attached to your body and when I teleported you out of the city, it must have come through the small bit of silver liquid on you." Rover explained.
Sonic then remembered something. "Oh great, a friend of mine, 'jokingly' rubbed his fingers on me, with the same liquid."
"Well...I don't know what say." Rover said.
"Wait, how did you do that thing before?" Sonic asked.
"It appears that heat is the only thing that kills those guys." Rover said.
"Wait, they can take over other people." sonic pointed out.
"Really? Well, scratch that plan out." Rover said.
Just then there was a loud banging on the door.
"They're here!" Rover shouted. "Come with me!"
Rover ran through the back of the building as Sonic follows close behind, just as the door burst open.
Rover and Sonic got themselves to a little garage bit, where there was a five person car in it.
"Really, so we are escaping in this?" Sonic asked, but Rover was no where to be seen. "Rover?"
Just then Rover came bursting out the same door, now wearing a satchel. "Sorry, I left a few stuff! Don't go back in." Rover locked the door before heading to a little workshop area.
"What are you doing?" Sonic asked while walking to him.
Just then Rover pulled out a large weapon.
Sonic couldn't say anything.
"No need." Rover said.
"I wasn't going to say anything." Sonic said.
"Exactly." Rover said. "Now duck!"
Rover fired the weapon and Sonic ducked.
Out came a laser that was a bright orange and hit a Liquefied Rouge.
"Wait! That's my friend!" Sonic shouted.
The laser beam went away as Rouge began to melt, but it was the liquid silver, not her actual body.
Rouge's body fell to the ground, she wasn't dead though.
"You're welcome." Rover said.
"What have you done?" Sonic asked, while holding Rouge's body.
"I changed her back to her original body." Rover said. "This weapon is a personal favourite of Crawford, one of my members, He has quite the temper, but inside he has a kind heart...most of the time."
"Okay." Sonic understood. "Wait...you're planning on reverting everyone back to normal, with one weapon?"
"Close." Rover said. "We head to where those liquid men came from and connect this to a large power source, most likely where those guys came from."
"I think I might know where they came from." Sonic said.
"Where?" Rover asked.
