WOO! Chapter 2! YEAH! I'M TOTALLY NOT BEING HAPPIER THAN I SHOULD BE RIGHT NOW! I'm just really pumped for this chapter. This new story, in my opinion, is much better than the other one. I feel like that was my test run.
"So," he says, "let's get to some proper introductions while that Super Badnick tries to get us. So, hi. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog: The fastest thing alive."
Holy crap. I am meeting Sonic the Hedgehog. "Hi." That's the only thing that will come out. I try to think what I should say, but this is the only thing I could blurt out, "This isn't a dream, is it?"
Sonic gave me a confused look and lets me off his arm, "Hah. This is about as real as it can get, kid."
"Does that mean I can die?" I say, wobbly from my injury from the badnick.
"No duh, genius."
"Okay." I say nervously. "Then can you get me something to fight with? I don't think you can handle that thing alone. Oh yeah! I do know who you are, by the way."
"Good," He smiles, "but if you really think I'm going to let you help me fight this thing, you're about as crazy, as, well, Eggman."
"Oh, you underestimate me," I smirk, "if you can get me a gun or something, I'm a great shot. I can distract it or something, or if I'm lucky, I can maybe make a kill shot."
"I guess I'll take your word for it, Scott. Did I get that right?" He sighs. I nod. "Give me one minute," he states, "I'm going to get your weapon. Don't hit me, and we'll be just fine."
I nod. He leaps up, spins into a ball and blasts through the roof. I take a minute to examine myself. I am a turquoise hedgehog with a really cool spine pattern. I looked into the red windows, like a mirror: I have one big spine facing downward on the top, like Sonic. Now I feel like a re-color a little bit, I think to myself, but then I look farther down. In the middle I have three thin spines curving sharply downward toward my back. I smile, getting my swagger on. Finally in the back, I have two middle-size-ish spines curving upward like Shadow's. I decide to take off my shirt, because the two back spines that I have ripped through my shirt. Hurray. I look into the mirror and I gasp sharply. "I LOOK AWESOME!" I shout. I have a part of Sonic's circle thing belly, also I have a tuft of grey chest fur. I nod, smirking.
I focus back to the matter at hand when I hear a loud KA-THUNK. "Okay, let's get back to you," I gesture to the robot, "so are we going to co-operate?" The robot jams its gigantic fist hybrid thing through the hole, in an attempt to smash me or something. "I'll take that as a no. Fine then. You want to take the fun way." Just then I hear a quiet thud on the ground behind me. I turn around to see Sonic. He has a rifle-type thing in a sash thing that holds the gun, but it still keeps it in place. It has a power ring around the front of the barrel, and I guessed that is the power source. He handed it to me.
I gesture to the robot with my head, but all Sonic does is stare at my chest with eyes wide and a frown, "What is that?"
"Chest fur." I say simply. "I didn't know that I had it either." I tug at it like a bowtie. "Pretty cool, right?" I wrap the sash around my chest and pull out the rifle, snapping the ring into place. I felt a surge a power when I touched the ring. I felt energy flow into my bones.
"Yeah. I guess." He mumbled.
"You ready for this?" I ask.
"You forget who you're talking to!" He exclaims. "Cover me." I raise the rifle and put the butt into the front my shoulder. I wrap my dominant hand (my right hand) around the grip and my index finger around the trigger. I also place my free hand on the underside of the barrel. Sonic starts to run at the hole, being blocked by the robot. I pull the trigger I see a laser bolt fly through the air and make contact with the badnick. It stumbles backwards, giving Sonic the chance to homing attack. It falters backwards farther. I run and hurdle both holes with ease. My body must be stronger in this world. I could never do that on Earth. Sweet. I raise the gun again and try to take a hip shot, but the train lurches to the left, causing me to fly through the air and land on the ground with my gun at my side.
"Charles? My word… Charles! Wake up!" I look up to see a cage, with Professor Pickle and Professor Charles (Uncle Chuck). Uncle Chuck is unconscious. I gasp and scramble to my feet, rifle in hand.
"Uncle Chuck?!" I Sonic shouts. The Super Badnick slams its fist thingy into Sonic, lodging him in the wall.
"SONIC!" I shout. I raise the gun and launch a successful hip shot to the back of the robot, which says ETA. I guess we'll start calling him that.
"THAT'S IT!" Sonic screams, dawning fangs and more fur. My eyes widen. "You wanna play rough?! I'M GONNA-!" just as he is saying that, Amy drops through the hatch in the ceiling and smashes the robots face. Everything stops for a second. Once. In my head, I am connecting two-and-two. The purple gas. Dark Gia. Archie doing a Sonic Unleashed series. Sonic #254.
"Oh crap." I whisper, clutching my chest fur. "I'm going to turn into a Were-Hog." I take some shallow breaths, then I try to breathe more deeply and try to block out my terror. I look up to see ETA falling backwards. I roll left, to see Sonic and Amy standing side-by-side, Sonic smirking and Amy with an annoyed face. Also I see Sally Acorn, helping Professor Pickle up the hatch and Uncle Chuck in Rotor the Walrus' arms on top of the train car.
"UGH! Zero wasn't this annoying." Amy exclaims.
Sally sticks her face down the hatch, "We've got the professors! Biplanes are inbound! Get out of there!"
"You heard the lady!" Sonic announced, picking up Amy. She squeals. Just then ETA starts to crawl to Sonic and Amy.
"BACK! OFF!" Amy screams. She smashes ETA with her Piko-Piko Hammer and it flies next to me, its mechanical eyes dimming. "Who's that?" she asks Sonic.
"A friend." He replies. "Hey," he says, "you coming?"
"You think I want to stay here?" I snickered, putting the gun back onto the sash-holster thing. "Let's go!" I ran up next to them. Sonic jumped up onto the roof. I followed him. I only grabbed the hatch, barely. I got up onto the roof with my newfound Mobius strength pretty quick.
"Do you know how to jump onto a plane?" Sonic asks.
"There's a first time for everything." I say back.
"Wait." Amy interrupted. "You're jumping onto a plane, Sonic?!"
"Yup." Sonic and I said at the same time.
"Follow me." Sonic said authoritatively. He started to run. Not very fast, so I could keep up.
I heard the loud whirr of a bi-plane propeller and I looked to my right to see Tails coming to get us in the Tornado.
"When I say jump," Sonic pauses, "well, you get the idea. Jump."
"I can't watch!" Amy cried."
"JUMP!" Sonic shouts. The two of us jump. Sonic goes feet first. I put myself into a dive and try to catch onto the wing. I land, and I let go accidentally for a split second. I scream, but Sonic, with his speed, puts down Amy, runs over, and swings me up onto the Tornado. I gasp, but then I realize how awesome I just was.
"That… Was… Nerve-wracking!" Amy exclaims.
"Nerve-wracking?!" I question. "That was FABTABULOUS."
"Great job everyone!" I hear Sally say I turn around. After much hassle, we've got the professors."
"And the super-badnick is stuck on a train going nowhere fast. So… Yay us!" Sonic interrupts. "Not to mention, I think I found us a new member for the Freedom Fighters." He gestures to me. I smile and ruffle my hair through my hand through my quills. I notice I have bangs again. Now I just need some hair gel to spike these up, and my life will be complete, I think to myself. This is going to be a good life. I think, at least.
And done. Yeah. Chapter 2. This has been a lot of fun so far. I think I will be able to become pretty popular on Fanfiction if I keep this up. But that's just me. I highly doubt it, though, but I won't let my doubts get to me. ? Like, Review, Follow, Favorite, or do all those things! Until I write again- The Keeper. Keep on keepin' on.
