Chapter 3: Deviant Doctor

Falco is in hibernation chamber in the small cruiser, Sonic boarded a while ago making sure that je and Fox didn't die, he lost control earlier and wasn't about to make the same mistake with anyone else! Sonic looked at the chambers and then at the front of the ship.

He walked over and asks," Hey how long will they be out for?" The man driving looks at him hen back at the controls he says," About an hour or so, their wounds need to heal up, it take a while." Sonic shrugged his shoulders and walked back to where Amy was standing he says," Hey Amy, sorry about overreacting to that situation, I guess I messed up didn't I?" He gave a little smile and sat down.

Amy sat down and replies," It wasn't your fault, Maybe if I had been there, no one would have gotten hurt, it would be easier if I left you guys alone for once." She tilted her head down, Sonic looked down he said," Amy don't worry will get through th-"He was cut off when the roof caved in, floating down, one of Eggman's many robots shot the rubes and supports around Falco' containment chamber, Sonic couldn't move because he was sliding back in forth, the robot took off, Falco was no longer there.

The ship crashed into the ground pretty hard but managed to subdue the impact, and didn't explode in a fiery hell storm of metal, Fox was finally able to wake up and stepped out of the tube, at first he thought he was dreaming but noticed that Sonic and Amy were looking around he walked over and said," What the hell happened here?" Sonic turned realizing Fox woke up and said," Falco was snatched by one of Eggman's robots, we are trying to see where they went, but unfortunately I can't seem to find him."

Fox shook his head, but then asked," Wait; does he still have his belt?" Sonic thought for a little bit and finally said," Yes, I believe he still was, why?" Fox smiled and said," The belt has a tracking device in case one of us needs back up, let's see where he is." He goes into the ship and comes out with a small tracker, he said," This is Falco' tracker, we each have one in the ship so we can find each other!"

He pushed a small button and the screen began flashing, after a minute or so the screen had a blinking light that was where he was, from the area map Sonic concluded Eggman built a base around the sea. Fox started up the engine, it didn't start t first but with a couple more tries it finally screamed to life, the ship took off leaving the impacted ground.

Falco opened his eyes, it has been thirty minutes since his capture, he looked around and noticed this wasn't the ship that he had originally been in, he went to scratch his head and notice his arm was robotic, he looked up and saw a pudgy man sitting in a chair across from him, he asked," Where am I, Who are you?"

The man smiled and held up his thumb pointing at himself he said," I am the incredible doctor Eggman, soon to be ruler of this world, and you must be the one sent from the other realm correct?" Falco nodded his head and asked," What have you done to me doctor?" The doctor walked closer and said," I have saved your life, the chamber you where in wasn't going to heal you in time, there was only one way to save you, I had to create some replacement parts and create a metalized back bone for you."

Falco looked over at a mirror and saw that the doctor was telling the truth, his eyes were now a screen like thing, his arm was now metal. His chest had armor around it, with an energy pack in it, and his spine could bend but was indeed made of metal, he looked at the doctor and said," How did you do all of this in less than an hour?" Eggman smiled and said simply," When it comes to robotics, I'm the vet best there is!"

Falco shook his head and then said," What can I do with this suit, I want revenge on that hedgehog, I was with Amy and he didn't like it." Eggman smiled more evilly this time and said," Don't worry about that, you are much more quicker and the shield you use is now commanded by your brain waves, so you just have to think it, and you create the shield, I want you to defeat Sonic Falco."

Falco smiled and said," As soon as he is out of the way, no one can stop me from my plan." Eggman turned around in his chair and said," Your blasters will no longer help you, so I have built you with the Laser Blaster 5.0." He laughs aloud while Falco stares at him and says," How did you build it, we don't even have that yet?" Eggman said," You do now, and I'd be surprised if Sonic didn't want to defeat you if you hurt one of his friends first!"

Falco shook his head and said," No, I can't do that they didn't cause this, Sonic did if this gun is going to be used, it is going against him." Eggman nodded and went to his computer he said," Go outside they will be waiting to see the new you!" Falco nodded back and took off into the air; guess the Doctor also gave him jet boots. Falco burst through the door leading outside and floated to the top, waiting for his rival's arrival.

Sonic was talking to Fox, he asked," What do you think the possibility that Falco hates me enough to listen to Eggman?" Fox tilted his head and said," It depends on what he wants right now, and what the doctor has done to persuade him." Sonic nodded and said," It can't be anything good." Sonic was staring out of the front of the plane, when the ship was hit and fell out of the sky.

Sonic jumped out with Amy, Fox and his team jumped out with jet packs on to fly down to the ground, Sonic looked to his left and to his surprise it was Falco. But he wasn't them same, he has metal parts on where his arm was, and even his eyes were gone. Fox couldn't believe it; the doctor took Falco to make him into a living freak.

Sonic saw Falco lift his hand and a beam fired out of it, Sonic jumped out of the way barely dodging the oncoming attack, he used his spin dash and dashed at him, Falco lifted his head and the shield came on, like the doctor said use his mind, Sonic ran head first into it his entire body was paralyzed from the attack. Falco pulled out his blaster aimed and fired, a huge beam burst from the cannon, sending Sonic plummeting to the ground with a hard impact.

Sonic could feel a jagged rock slam though his left shoulder, his entire arm was pulsating from the pain as the blood was gushing out from the wound, Sonic looked up and saw that Falco was charging head first at him, Sonic pulled himself up and spin dashed again, even though it hurt like hell he wasn't giving up, he slammed into Falco sending him flying into the mountain.

Sonic rushed in and saw that was Eggman's base only to be grabbed by the robotic hand of Falco, Sonic was flung across the room smashing into the wall of a nearby machine in it he saw the remaining six emeralds he pulled out the one he had with him and the emeralds spun around him in a frenzy, he turned gold and his wound healed, as fast as he could go Sonic rushed at Falco sending him flying across the room smashing through the wall.

While in the air Sonic went at his most top speed in spin dash and rammed into Falco' stomach, he crashed into the ground and stepped off of Falco who was now bleeding badly from a hole in his stomach, Sonic turned back to normal and walked away looking quite proud until a beam shot through his stomach and went right through, he fell over the blood in his body trying to escape from the hole that was in his stomach only to find that it was burned shut.

Sonic looked behind him and saw what happened, earlier the beam that hit him was from the 2.0 blaster but the one in his hand was the new blaster, and one bullet was missing, the one that busted through his body, both of these two were tired and hurt badly. Fox and the others rushed in to help them, only to be stopped by a man in a flying ship, it picked up Falco and took off leaving Sonic there.

Fox grabbed Sonic and put him in the healing chamber, Amy walked up and said," Why would Falco do this?" She was holding back her tears she looked away, Fox said," Don't worry that wasn't Falco, it was a cybernetic clone only linked to Falco' brain waves, he is just fine we just have to find him in that ship of Eggman's , me and you will go on a secret mission to find him we will start right now." Amy shook her head and followed Fox, they entered the ship and told the others to leave and watch Sonic. Amy and Fox took off in the ship and headed after Eggman and his friend.

Eggman put Falco in a special healing chamber that would heal him faster, he left the room and walked to another down the hall, Falco was in this room not robotized he was in cryogenic sleep, Eggman looked at him and said," Only a matter of time before I take your mind and should and put it in the other body, I just have to wait until your strong enough!" He left the room with a smile on his face.

Amy and Fox rammed into the ship as hard as they could, making a large hole in it they got out of Fox's ship and entered Eggman's, they found tons of corridors leading into room and even the engine rooms, they ran through the long corridors and found the robot Falco so that must mean that the real one was around, they spent half an hour before Amy found him, she didn't call Fox but walked over and released him from his containment.

Falco fell to the floor as the world slowly came back to his vision, he saw Amy staring at him he looked around and saw a mirror and notice he wasn't all metal he felt relieved and said," What happened I remember fighting Sonic but I was hit and dying and I blasted him?" Amy smiled and said," That wasn't you, we don't know what Eggman is planning but it he will use you to get it, we have to go."

Falco looked down and said," I was a jerk wasn't I?" She looks at him and said," No, you just were fighting for me first, and then your captain, you were doing things right just not the right way." She smiles at him he smiles back and says," Sorry about kissing you, I'm sure that's why he was after me." She looks at him and replies," I kind of wanted you to." She smiles he looks up to say something but is stopped by her when she leans in and kisses him, after it she leans away and they start to leave when Fox is standing leaning against the door and says," well that was unexpected."

He laughs at Falco and Amy and walks out, they rush to the door but he is taking off down the corridor and is in the ship, they follow and leave the ship trying to get away before Eggman knows, to their relief he had no knowledge of their arrival, his robots were in repair and he hadn't checked his monitor so they escaped unseen.

When they arrived back where they left Sonic, Sonic had healed and was waiting for them, when Amy and Falco walked out Sonic walked over and said," Sorry about over reacting yesterday Falco." Falco shook his head and said," No it was my fault for attacking you afterwards, so I'm sorry." They all enter the ship waiting to see what was to come next when Eggman found out his project was gone.

What will Eggman do now that he no longer holds control over Falco, but wait Sonic never gathered the emeralds when they left oh no what will happen next? Read the next chapter to find out.
