Manic's Ultimate Adventure

By the Kitsune Warrior.

Disclaimer: Damn, these are annoying, does anyone even bother to read these things, I do, only to see if they put some stupid message about people not reading these things……………..any way… I do not own Sonic and co. they are owned by SEGA. But I do own Orbin. There happy, I'm not..

ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 4: We know were he is.

Manic stood in front of the huge double doors of the Thorndike Manor.

"Figures Sonic would pick the biggest mansion in the whole of Station Square"

Manic pushed the doorbell, and heard a faint voice, with a Spanish accent

"Coming!"

The doors opened up, revealing a large lady in an apron, she looked down at Manic and instantaneously (A/N man I love that word) developed a shocked/stunned look on her face.

"Your back" was all she managed to say before she fainted, (A/N: she was shocked to see him, she thought it was Sonic) hitting the ground hard making the house floor emit a sound that carried over into the next room.

A man from the next room came rushing out and immediately caught sight of Manic. It was the Thorndike's butler. Tanaka.

"Sonic?"

Manic suddenly got exited at the name of his brother

"Where?"

"You"

"Me?"

"Yes, you…wait a minute…your not Sonic"

Manic thought to himself in a sarcastic tone

"I haven't heard that one before"

"Wait a minute, you're the one that's on the newspaper"

"Yeah that's me"

"Your name is Manic isn't it?"

"Uh huh"

"Hmm… I think you should come with me, I have someone who you should meet"

"Would that happen to be Christopher?"

Tanaka looked astounded "how did you know?"

"The president told me"

"Oh…. anyway I shall take you to Master Chris now"

"Umm…what about her" Manic asked gesturing towards the maid

"Huh? Oh… Ella will wake up eventually"

Manic then followed Tanaka through the house, eventually going outside and standing in front of a large shed.

"So Chris is in there?"

There was no reply, Manic turned around and to his surprise he saw…nothing, Tanaka had disappeared.

"I hate it when people do that to me…….. Well I guess we just go inside hey orbin."

The orb floated over towards to door, Manic walked over and opened it slowly all he saw was a small, empty room, with 1 door at the back, Manic walked to the door, it opened automatically in front of him. Beaming with curiosity the green hedgehog and his orb walked through, only to be confronted by room full of large unknown machines.

"So…you've finally come…. I was expecting you here sooner or later"

To Manic the voice was that of a teenage boy, when he faced the direction the voice, he found he was correct. There stood a boy, roughly about 6ft., red spiky hair, and a smile smeared across his face.

"You must be Manic"

"You must be Chris" Manic answered back in a slightly cocky tone

"Heh… you must be his brother, you got the same cocky attitude"

"You obviously know Sonic"

"Mmm hmm…. Sonic lived here while he was on earth"

"So where is he now?"

"All will become clear soon enough"

"What are you, a philosopher or something?"

"Me? No way, I just like to say stuff like that, it makes me sound wise, but I guess you saw straight through that one………….uhh..Anyway, we haven't been properly introduced, I'm Christopher Thorndike"

Chris held out his hand

"I'm Manic, Manic the Hedgehog"

Then a voice came from behind him, startling Manic "and I'm Chuck"

"AAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Manic jumped at least 5ft. into the air, before he turned around and saw an old man in a white lab coat.

"Don't………do…that………." Manic stated forcefully as he started to breath deeply to calm himself down, as his heart was doing 200bpm.

Completely ignoring the fact that he nearly scared Manic half to death, Chuck examined the small floating orb that was hanging around Manic's head.

"And what would this be?"

"That would be Orbin"

"Hmm…what is he?"

"He is a ball of pure Chaos Energy"

"Chaos energy!"

"You know what that is?"

"Yes we do Manic," stated Chris

"We have had quite a few problems with it while Sonic was here"

"Figures…. wherever Sonic is there's trouble"

"Heh…got that right, although Sonic mainly prevented the trouble rather than cause it?

"Who caused it then?"

"Dr.Eggman"

"Eggman!"

"You know him?"

"Yeah…when I was a little kid, Sonic and me used to foil his 'evil' plans"

"That's what Sonic did almost the whole time he was here"

"…. on the topic of my brother, where is he anyway"

"He is on another planet"

"Which one? I've spent the last 2 years looking for him on every single planet known to the Galactic Republic"

"What's the Galactic Republic"?

"Oh…nothing really, just the government that rules the entire universe"

"Wow, that's big"

"Yeah, its huge"

"Manic, how do you jump between planets"

"I use my teleporter, which doesn't…seem…to be…working" Manic said (A/N: I had no choice Brent-Ka, sorry) as he fished it out of his backpack. "And if Sonic is on another planet, how come I haven't found him yet?"

"Hmm…this is a long shot, but I think I know why you haven't, found Sonic yet"

"Please explain Chuck?"

"You've been looking for Sonic on all sorts of planets, but….have you ever gone into a different dimension?"

"uhh…no"

"Well then, that's were you went wrong. You see, Sonic is in another dimension, one that is parallel to this planet"

"Do you have a machine that can go to said dimension?" (A/N: using it there was ok though)

"Yes, and no"

"What do you mean"?

"I mean, we do have a interdemensional transporter, (A/N: wow, big words) but we haven't completed it yet"

Chuck escorted Manic to the far side of the lab, where a large machine confronted them.

"However, I'm thinking that maybe, I can salvage parts of your existing transporter to put in the interdemensional transporter to complete it"

"Go for it"

Manic threw his teleporting box at Chuck, who caught it, and instantaneously went to work on it.

Manic said to Chris "wow, for an old man he sure works fast"

"Yeah he does, but Tails works faster"

"Who's Tails?"

"Sonic's best friend, and grandpa's lab partner, or at least he was, while he was here"

"Hmm…ill guess ill see him when I get there"

A triumphant yell was heard from the machine "DONE!"

"Already? Man that was quick!"

"It was nothing, really. Now lets start this thing up and get you outta here."

Chuck walked over to a control panel and fiddled with various levers and knobs. Then a large black hole appeared at the side wall of the lab.

"I'm leaving already?"

"Yeah, go for it Manic! Good luck, I hope you find him"

Manic waved goodbye to Chris and Chuck and bolted into the black hole. Suddenly a huge force pushed Chris and Chuck sideways

"Outta the way losers"

It was Fang, Bean and Bark, who bolted through the hole after Manic

Slightly confused Chris asked his grandpa "uhh…who were they?"

"I don't know, maybe they were friends of Manic's?"

The black hole then closed itself, disappearing into nothingness.

Chris glanced over to the interdemensional transporter, he spotted the co-ordinates. They read "?.?"

"Uhh…grandpa, where exactly is he going to land on Sonic's planet?"

Chuck glanced over to the screen

"Oops!"

"What's gunna happen"?

"Well…at least he is going to land on Sonic's planet, but the problem is, I don't know exactly where he is going to land"

----------------------

"I'm finally going to see him again"

Manic bolted down the kaleidoscopic tube into the next dimension, until he came to a stop

"Whoa, what the heck is this?"

Manic looked down the barrel of the tube, it split into two sections

"I've never seen this before. Which way do I go?"

"Freeze, or ill blow ya brains out"

"Huh?"
