Author: And the next chapter of the rewrite is underway! But before we get onto the story, I'd like to introduce a character from the show, Sonic Boom itself. He's an evil genius who abuses his two closest robots a lot, he's plans to rule the world at some point, you always wanna punch him in the face for everything he's done at times... Dr. Eggman!
*Audience Claps and Cheers*
Eggman: *Walks into the set with Orbot and Cubot* Thank you, thank you, you're all too kind. It's disgusting.
*Audience Laughs*
Author: So, Dr. Eggman, it's true that you have a Ph.D in engineering and evil tactics right?
Eggman: Of course, I also own my own evil lair at the top of a volcano, the one where I plan to destroy Sonic and his friends.
Author: Hmm, interesting. Here on the set, we'd all like to know how you react to the rewrite of this story.
Eggman: Well, I was hoping it wasn't gonna happen but-
Cubot: He was so sad that you didn't update in a long time. Boss slept in his evil pink pajamas, eating tubs of ice cream, and watching romantic movies while you were gone!
*Audience Ooo's*
Author: So it's true that the 'greatest villain of all time' has developed a soft spot?
Eggman: What? No, no, no, no! That's not true!
Orbot: You screamed, jumped, and hugged every robot for two hours straight once you heard that the rewrite was coming out soon... like a kindergarten girl playing jump rope.
*Audience Laughs Again*
Eggman: This is one of the many reasons I insult you two through the show.
*Audience Laughs Once Again*
Author: Well, that's all the time we have for the beginning, here's the next chapter!
*Audience Cheers*
Author: But seriously though, you watch sad romantic movies?
Eggman: Hey, even the greatest villains gotta take a break from evil sometime.
Author: True that.
Sometime after the sidekick incident, Zak and Zeena were able to get roof over their heads so that they wouldn't stuck out in the cold. The house had a living room and kitchen connected just like Tails' house, except that it had two rooms for each of them, one white and the other green. And their house on the inside was a light green-white overall. Speaking of cold, there was a rainstorm that night, and the twins were sleeiping babies.
Well, they were until they heard a loud pounding on the door, that woke them up.
"Ugh," Zak scratched his head in exhaustion, "Zeena, can you get that?"
"Hmph, why do I have to answer?" She questioned back, "I did work all day, and I need my beauty rest."
"The only work you did was makeup, walking around town, and trying to make men faint on you."
"Fine," Reluctantly, Zeena walked to answer the door to find a certain evil genius weating a raincoat.
"Hi!" He introduced.
She glared at him a little, "What do you want?"
"Well, my lair got destroyed in this storm, and I was wondering if you could... well... let me stay for a few days? Please?"
Zeena made a serious look, "Oh no. This does look serious. But, I need you to do something before to come in."
Eggman made a hopeful face, "Yes?"
"I need you to stand on this target mark."
"Okay." He does so.
"Now, I need you to close your eyes, tight." The scientist does so; at least I think he is, it's hard to tell. "Now wait for your surprise."
"Ooh, I like surprises!"
"Yeah, well you won't like this one." She then pressed a button on the table near the door, which launched Eggman far away from Zak and Zeena's house.
Walking to her, he grinned and pointed, "You know, we both agree that's the best thing we've installed in our house so far."
Zeena smiled to him, "Yes, yes it is."
Later in the Morning...
The twins met up with Knuckles, Amy, and a light brown badger, who they learned was named Sticks. They were entering Tails' House, when Sonic answered (he seemed a little tired too) and were surprised that Eggman was inside, in his 'evil' pink pajamas.
Pretty weird after entering.
"Eggman?!" Knuckles screamed before all of them got into fighting positions.
Eggman greeted them, "Oh, hey gang! Didn't know you'd be visiting so early. I'm still in my evil pajamas. They have a trapdoor in the back." He pointed to where they were at his... uh... rea- no... his... well... ah, forget it. There were on the back, let's just leave it there. He then sat in a chair.
"I almost blacked out seeing that," Zeena replied with a disgusted look.
"I'm traumatized just by looking!" Zak distressed.
"What's he doing here?" Knuckles questioned.
Good question, Knuckles. Let's hear the answer (because I don't know how he ended to Tails' house after he was flung away).
Sonic explained, "We have a truce. Tails is letting him stay here until his lair is rebuilt."
"Ahem, still waiting on that Salmon Eggs Benedict!" Eggman called.
"Coming, Coming!" Tails told him, surprising everyone since they didn't know that he was behind them. He put the benedict on the table and Eggman inspected it.
"I asked for egg whites. These are yellows. See the yellow? I'm trying to watch my cholesterol. And this salmon is farm-raised! What is this, prison?!" (A/N: Clearly he needs to go there Eggman: Hey! I can hear you! Author: Good!) Eggman criticized which made Sonic angry.
"If he was in our house," Zak started, "He'd been thrown out *Snaps* just like that."
"It's all some evil plot, man!" Sticks intervened, "First he lures us in with some terrible roommate hooey, but then wham! Out comes this fifty-foot Obliterator Bot that obliterates us all!" She shook Knuckles and inhales, "We gotta get outta here."
Amy interjects Sticks' argument, "Guys, we have to help him. If we don't, we'll be no better than he is."
"Yeah," Eggman supported with a mouthful of breakfast, "You'll be no better than I am."
"So?" Zeena said, "I was no better than he was, and look me now!" Everyone stares at her with blank looks, "Why do I even bother sometimes?" She sank her arms down and questioned to herself.
Amy walked over to Eggman, "Think about how this is for him," She tried to comfort him, while he was eating his breakfast, "Do you feel scared without a home? Do you feel alone? Are you eating your feelings?"
Eggman glared, "Someone get her away from me."
"Guys, if Eggman needs to stay, he can stay. Who knows? He may not be so bad after all," Tails commented, cleaning a dish which made Eggman smile.
The Next Morning (This Happened)...
The zeti twins went to Tails' house to see how their friends were doing so far. When Sonic answered the door, he did not seem too happy.
"Let me guess, Eggman's horrible to live with?" Zak saw the look on Sonic's face with was pretty annoyed.
"You guessed it."
They walked in and sat on the couch, "Okay, what's going on here?" Zak and Zeena saw Amy, who was sitting on another chair.
"Sonic and Tails are little angry at Eggman's antics," She answered.
"A little? I've had enough of Eggman! Lair or no lair, he's outta here!" The blue hedgehog declared.
"You can't just throw Eggman out."
"Yes, they can," Zeena told her, "We catapulted Eggman away from our house when he tried to stay with us." Amy glared at them, making Zak look at her scared and Zeena presenting a nervous smile, "And I mean that in the least, horrifying way possible." Both turned away after a moment of silence, and whistled.
"As I was saying," The pink hedgehog continued, "He might be a difficult roommate, but it's only because you guys have a communication problem."
"Communication problem?" Tails repeated in frustration, "He whacked me with a pillow... hard! I'm dizzy, and I have serious short-term memory loss... and I have serious short-term memory loss."
"Why don't we settle this with a roommate meeting?" Amy suggested.
Zak laughed at the idea, then she looked to him, "Oh... you're serious."
Later that day...
Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot were on the couch as Amy invited them for a roommate meeting, and of course the zeti we still there.
"Now, Sonic, do you have something you'd like to share with Eggman?" She started.
"Yes, How to say this delicately?" Sonic pondered for a moment, "You're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you." (A/N: Yeah, that sounds about right.)
Amy tried again and gestured with her hands, "Let's frame our statements with 'When you do this, it makes me feel this'."
"Fine. Okay, uh... let's see... 'when you live here, it makes me feel angry.' Because you're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you." He pretty muched repeated. Eggman stared for a moment and started crying. Sonic, Tails, Zak, and Zeena looked at each other.
Eggman sobbed, "You're right. I am the worst roommate. It-it-it... I've never lived with other people before."
"What about us?" Cubot asked.
He growled, "You don't count!" This made Cubot put his head down in shame, then started crying again.
"Sonic, I think someone here could go for two spoonfuls of forgiveness, washed down with a tall glass of friendship. What do you think?" Amy talked about the crying Eggman to Sonic.
Sonic groaned, "Eggman, if we give you a second chance, will you promise to shape up?"
Just like that, he turned happy, "You bet!"
"Roommate meeting group hug!" Amy announced. Eggman and Amy were on board with it, but the others weren't so much. Orbot and Cubot tried to join in but...
"Not you!" Eggman told them, making them sad.
Turns out, Eggman was a better roommate after a meeting. He cleaned the dishes, fluffed up the pillows, and even taught the group on how to repair their refrigerators.*Correction whispered* I'm being told that he did not teach them repair of any kind. Continuing on...
He came out a better roommate, though Zak and Zeena stayed there just in case he tried anything funny. No, not the comedic kind of funny. Right now, it was nighttime and everyone was tired. Well, almost everyone...
"37, 38, 39, triple star bonus kazoo!" Eggman exclaimed before he blew into the kazoo loudly, snapping the group out of their trance, "I win again!"
Sonic yawned, "That's great. Well, it's getting late. Time to hit the hay."
"Aww, just one more game?" He put his arm on Sonic to wake him, which shifted the couch waking Zak and Tails on the other side, "That's what good roomies do. We have fun!"
"Good roommies also give their others something they call 'sleep'," Zak quoted at the last word.
"It's used for energy and most importantly to keep us from looking like a wreck," Zeena added, laying on Sonic's shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm all for fun and games, but aren't you guys exhausted? Orbot, Cubot?" Sonic asked the two robots on the other side.
Eggman answered for them, "They're robots, they don't get tired, because they have no souls."
"Hey!" Orbot was offended.
"He's right," Cubot admitted in a sad mood.
"Whatever, good night, guys," Sonic walked toward the door, until Eggman blocked him from exiting.
"Wait! Don't leave! Just hang out a little longer. I'm so lonely! Please, roomie?" He begged, making Sonic turn around, sigh, and walk back to the room, "Yay!" But before he could blow into the kazoo...
"Blow that thing again, and I'll launch you from this house," Yup, that was Zak, who was ticked off from hearing the kazoo blown many, MANY times.
Late at night (and I mean very late), the group watched the Comedy Chimp Show, and the only one enjoying it was Eggman, who was laughing. Everyone else was miserable and were... well, exhausted is an understatement. They couldn't even stop yawning and had bags under their eyes.
No, not the kind you get at grocery stores.
"We now return to the Comedy Chimp Show, with your host, Comedy Chimp!" The Tv announcer announced.
"I almost didn't make it to the show tonight. I had to go to the doctor. I had a backache! I didn't really like that doctor anyway. I think he used to be a mechanic! He tried to fix my problem with a monkey wrench!" Comedy Chimp joked, making the audience in the studio laugh.
"Oh ho! You, my friend, are one witty simian!" Wolf Sidekick complemented.
After a long period of time into the morning, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks visited Tails' house again and that Sonic, Tails, Zak, and Zeena were still with Eggman.
"You're still hanging with Eggman? How many hours of sleep did you get?" Knuckles questioned.
Zak asked, "What's that number less than one?"
"Zero," Sonic, answering both questions.
"It's Stage Two of his evil plot, man! We are minutes away from him summoning his big Obliterator Bot with its... obliterator legs! And its obliterator teeth!" Sticks accused Eggman and panicked. (A/N: At least that's what I thought she said when I was watching the episode)
Amy tried to calm her down, "Sticks, stop being paranoid. Eggman's lived here for two days, and he hasn't hatched a single evil scheme!" She had a good argument, until Eggman was heard laughing from outside, from which he walked out when the pink hedgehog was talking, and standing on top of a rock. Everyone ran/trudged outside to see what was going on.
"What's so funny?" Tails asked.
"Maybe it's how I look," Zeena suggested.
"Remember when I said my island fortress was destroyed by a storm?" Eggman jumped off of the rock, "I... uh... may have fibbed," He started to explain his new diabolical plan while walking, "You see, I kind of faked the destruction of my fortress as an excuse to live with you and tire you to the point of exhaust-" He stopped when he saw Sonic asleep while standing and slapped him to get his attention again, "Tire you to the point of exhaustion!" He ran to a nearby tree, "So you'd be too tired to stop Obliterator Bot!"
"A bugged out machine?" Zak raised any eyebrow, unable to hear that clearly.
"Obliterator Bot," Eggman corrected.
"A blitz football play?"
"Obliterator Bot!"
"Your robot has a boo-boo?" The white zeti chuckled at the last part.
"OBLITERATOR..." The evil scientist sighed in defeat, "The main point is you're gonna get destroyed!" He stepped out of the way as a tree fell down thanks to a giant robot which stomped into view.
"I knew it, he did have an Obliterator Bot! Why doesn't anyone ever believe me?! It's not like I'm paranoid!" Sticks turned her head and saw her shadow, "Stop following me!"
"ENOUGH! Obliterator Bot, destroy Sonic and his four friends!" Eggman ordered, "Well, six if you include Zak and Zeena," He admitted the last part.
"For-tress?" Obliterator Bot heard wrong, "Fortress. Destroy fortress. Destroy island fortress." He then started walking his creator's base. (A/N: *Laughs*)
"What? No! That's not what I said!" Eggman panicked and pressed the big blue button on his wrist.
Orbot, with Cubot peeked out of the house and called, "We're still working out a few kinks."
Eggman held on to the giant robot's leg like a little kid and tried to hold him back, "Obliterator Bot, do not destroy island fortress, do not destroy island fortress!"
"Affirmative, playing up-tempo music while destroying fortress," Speakers popped out of Obilterator Bot's shoulders and up-tempo rock music was played from there. (A/N: *Laughs louder* I like irony, especially when it's something bad to Eggman! *Falls out of chair and laughs*) His foot stomped right over Sonic and Zeena and he almost nailed them. They watched as he was leaving.
"NO! Sonic, you have to help me!" Eggman begged for his arch-nemesis' help.
"Why? He's your Obliterator Bot," Sonic denied.
"Because if you don't, I'm truly stuck living with you until I build a new island fortress."
In an instant, "Let's roll."
Arriving toward Eggman's Base, five of them rode into the plane, with one of them using the Enerbeam 3.0 to hang on to the wing of the plane, and the last to arrive in his hovercraft. At landing they exited the vehicles, where at the top, Obliterator Bot was destroying the base.
"Gotta stop him... but so tired..." Tails fell on the ground sleeping.
"I'm gonna take a nap and maybe we'll stop him later," Zak slumped to the ground.
"Must get beauty sleep," Zeena did the same thing. (A/N: This is what happens when you don't do your own work and have other people do it for you.)
Knuckles pointed out, "He must have a weak spot."
"Maybe there's a clue on the ground," Sonic suggested as he was sinking to the ground and his voice getting softer, "This soft... soft... bed-like... ground." Sticks ran over toward him and stomped on top of him causing him to jump back up into a fighting position, "What?! What's wrong?! Are we under attack?! Oh, right." He yawned and stretched.
"Eggman," Knuckles started, "you built that thing. How do we take it down?"
"By activating two kill switches at the same time," He explained, "There," He pointed to a clean path, "And there," A messed up, destroyed path was shown.
"Oh, come on..." Sonic groaned, "All right, Amy, Knuckles, Sticks, Zak, Snowcone, distract that metal monstrosity. Tails and I are on the kill switches. Eggman, you'll have to show us how to activate them."
"Pre-mission group hug?" Amy offered.
"No," Sonic speed off into the clear path, where the lasers were shooting everywhere, though none of them hit him. Tails flew down the opposite path to a control panel and activates it. Before Sonic could hit the laser wall, Tails deactivates it, enabling a safe speed run. A couple lasers shooting at him, and a near miss causes him to slide. His exhaustion catches up with him, causing him to fall asleep while sliding (A/N: He makes it look cool though). His friend deactivates the laser wall just in time that he didn't become sliced sausage.
Mmm... sausage. Oh, right...
Sonic woke up again as Tails opened up a wiring panel and yawned as he tried to figure them out. The blue hedgehog walked toward a switch door but falls asleep. His fox friend pressing a button, allowing access to the kill switches. Eggman stomps his foot next to Sonic, causing to wake up.
"Jam the kinetic barrier processor," Eggman told him, "The kinetic barrier processor!" Sonic runs over to a switch and pulls on it, and his nemesis runs off to check on Tails. "Okay, power down the central operating system," He grabs Tails' hand and pulls it, while Sonic fell asleep once again, releasing the lever.
Meanwhile, Obliterator Bot, used his chainsaw-shaped arm to cut down a metal structure and lands in front of Amy, Knuckles, and Sticks who ran up toward the giant monstrosity while Zak and Zeena were walking slowly behind.
"I knew you were coming," Sticks started, "But you will never obliterate Sticks! Because Sticks is unoblite-... unoble-... unobitababl... You can't kill me," She put her hands on her hips.
Back inside the fortress...
"Jam the Kinetic Barrier Processor!" Eggman shouted frantically to Sonic. He does so, but falls asleep again, releasing the lever. Eggman looked back and forth towards a sleeping Tails and Sonic, and gets an idea. He blows into the kazoo, waking up Sonic and Tails...
And Zak and Zeena who with the others, fighting Obliterator Bot.
"I told him not to blow into that thing!" Zak shouted in anger, covering his ears.
The kazoo also scared the birds away from the island. Nevertheless, Sonic and Tails activated both switches at the same time and shut down Obliterator Bot. Sonic runs in front of the giant robot and with a piece of metal he smashes off his head, causing the robot to explode.
"Yes!" Eggman cheered... until his base exploded, "No!"
Zeena sobbed sarcastically, "Aw, wah, wah."
Later at the beach...
Sonic, Tails, Zak, and Zeena were able to catch on sleep and were resting on the beach with Amy, Knuckles and Sticks. That is, until Eggman came into the equation with two suitcases.
"Hey, guys," He started, " As you know, my fortress is now a smoking ruin, so I was wondering, maybe..." He set up one his reclining chairs and sat into it, "if I could stay with you guys for a little while. Just until it's built back?"
Sonic zipped him back to his destroyed lair with his suitcases.
"I can keep you company!" Amy walked over toward him with Orbot and Cubot behind her and a balloon in hand, "Let's explore your feelings about being a roommate. Now, pretend this balloon is your self-esteem." She held it up.
"Stop, stop! Stooooooop!" He ran back to his base.
A/N: And that's another chapter of the story done! In the meantime, tune in next time while our other Sonic Boom character introduced to this show! Until then, stay golden my fine friends! Hm, I've got to come up with more interesting exit lines.
