BC737: Sorry I haven't updated in a looong time, I didn't have internet for a while and I've been real busy with school crap. Here yah go:
Chapter 4
I almost laughed at the name. Eggman? Who name's their kid Eggman?
"Uh, who's that?" I tried to ask with out giggling.
"He's a super evil genius who's been trying to take over the world. But Sonic's always been able to take him and his nasty machines out." Tails explained. So this Eggman character seemed to me like he was the main villains on one of those Saturday morning cartoon shows.
"He's going to go after the Chaos Emerald's too then!" Cream gasped. They all seemed to be so concerned about this, their talking faded when I began to think about how was going to get back home…
"…Ezi? Did you hear me?" Chuck's voice rang into my head.
"Huh? What'd you say?" They all exchanged glances to each other, grimacing. I felt embarrassed for having had dozed off, so I narrowed my head and looked down at my feet.
"Never mind," Chuck assured me smiling. "Whaddyah say y'all get some dinner than go to bed? It's almost nightfall, so we'll start looking for the rest of your friends tomorrow, Sonic." Sonic nodded his head to reply. We all walked back into the house and waited for Ella to make dinner for us. I asked her if she needed help, but she said she didn't. Then Cream asked and she let her put the vegetables in the salad. I guess Cream was a lot more adorable when it came to that kinda stuff and people would want to be around her more than me. I kept my mouth shut the whole time we all sat and talked in the living room. Sonic and the others were laughing and talking like they had known Chris for years, and I didn't know what to say; I was anxious. I was confused. Was Sonic really gonna help me get home? Were these Chaos Emeralds really supposed to help me get home? At the time, I didn't really feel like I was too welcomed.
I slept on the couch in the living room again, but I couldn't sleep. The house was dead when everyone went to sleep, so I caught up on my thoughts. It made sense that Sonic and his friends were from some other world, but it would be a little difficult convincing anyone I was too. I hadn't realized it when I had fallen asleep in all my thinking, but that was the first night had one of those dreams…
In the dream I felt lost, and there was a darkness creeping up behind me. I yelled and ran the opposite direction, but my feet were moving in slow motion. I closed my eyes when I saw the darkness come up from behind and engulf me; it felt like a blanket of cold air. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't scream for help, I was trapped. I felt like my heart was being crushed, and beaten. But then, warmth all around me! I gasped for air when the warm rays of light hit me, and I looked up at it for comfort. There was a figure in the light; it looked like a thin person, with what looked like two antlers coming out of its head, and it was purple…
I woke up before I could see the face. What the heck was that? I thought. My palms were sweaty and for some reason my chest hurt. The sun was barely shining over the horizon when I saw Sonic tip-toeing to the door. I winced.
"Sonic, where are you going?" I whispered. He put his fingers to his lips and waved for me to follow him. I blinked, almost baffled, and then I crept out of the house with him.
"I'm going for a run, wanna join me?" That was weird.
"Uhh, I don't think I can run as fast as you, Sonic." I told him. Of course I wasn't as fast! No one in the whole freaken universe was!
"You don't have to run." He held his hand out to me. I slowly reached my hand out towards him, and with my hand out he didn't hesitate to grab it and pulled me over to him.
"Huh?!" He picked me up off the ground. While I was a little taller than Sonic, I obviously didn't weigh a lot more than him. He zoomed off, carrying me in his arms. We were going so fast, I was afraid he might run into something! I had been unexpectedly pulled into this ridiculously quick jog. Before I knew it, we were at the beach. There were only about three or four people there, since it was so early in the morning.
"Wow…Check out that sunrise!" I said excitedly. It was beautiful, with the pink and purple clouds reflecting over the glistening sea, and the sun peeking over the water, creating the orange sky.
"Yup. It seems like the sun rise is the same no matter where we're from." Sonic pointed out. He was smiling as he looked out into the distance, his arms folded.
"Hey, Sonic," I asked mildly, "Why'd you bring me out here anyways?" He shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. You were up and I thought you might like to get out of the house, I guess."
"Oh…" I trailed off. "I've never been to a beach before." I decided to tell him. He looked at me amazed.
"What? Sheesh kid, where do you live?" I giggled.
"In the desert. There's no beaches anywhere that I live. I've always wanted to go to one, though. So thank you, Sonic." I smiled. My cares were gone for a moment.
"Anytime." We gazed at the sun for a few moments, until it was practically all the way in the sky. "Well, I gotta go! You want me to take you back to the mansion?" He asked.
"Wait, where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm gonna run around, yah know, to see this world a little more." I figured when he said that he wanted his own space, now.
"Um, do you think I could stay at the beach a little longer? You don't have to stay with me, of course."
"Sure, why not? I'll come pick you up a little later, alright?" I was so happy with his agreeing with me.
"Ok! See you later, then." I waved to him as he zoomed off. I climbed down the cliff we had been sitting on and ran over to the ocean shore line. I took off my socks and ran into the water with my arms out. The water came in small waves against my legs. I loved the beach. I kicked in the water and watched the waves and made shapes in the smooth sand for what seemed like hours. As the day grew older, more people started coming to the beach; parents and their children with their floaters and sand shovels and pails, and teenagers setting up for beach volleyball, and people sitting under their umbrellas. It seemed like an ordinary all of a sudden, like I had been here before or something. The teenagers playing volleyball accidentally threw the ball into the water right next to me. I picked it up.
"Here you go." I tossed it back to one of the girls.
"Thank y--? AHHH!" What was shescreaming about? Suddenly I heard a splashing noise in front of me. My eyes widened when a shadow loomed over me. I looked up slowly… There was a giant machine in front of me!
"W-what the--?!" I jumped backwards and fell into the sand, now I could see the robot clearly. It was white and green, and had missiles for hands, and a square body and wide legs. It's one purple, camera looking eye in the center made it look less human. The robot began marching forward, slowly. It didn't seem all that terrifying to me, but for some reason the people were freaking out as if Godzilla was about to eat them. I stepped out of the robots way and watched it stroll sluggishly out of the beach. What was behind the robot is what really caught my attention.
"Oh ho ho ho ho! Go, Missile wrists, destroy this city!" A large man with a ridiculous puffy brown mustache in a red suit sitting a strange, round floating glider with wings was following the robot. His maniacal laughing reminded of something… I walked toward him slowly.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"Hm?" The man looked down at me with one brow up and the other furrowed over his shoulder. "Beat it brat, aren't you scared?" I rolled my eyes.
"Not really," I mumbled, "Look, is your name Eggman?" I asked.
"Huh? Yes… But, but how did some little brat like you know who I was?" He stammered.
"Uhhh, I don't know, lucky guess?" I chuckled nervously. Now that I knew it was Eggman, I had to go tell Sonic. I turned around and ran the other way.
"Hey, come back here!" I heard Eggman yell.
"Uh oh." I turned my head around and before I knew it there was a mechanical yellow arm around me! "Yikes!" The robot's arm had reached out and caught me, then it roped me back towards it. I tried struggling free, but obviously I wasn't getting anywhere. "Put me down." I asked with my eyes furrowed.
"Not 'till you tell me what you know, kid." Eggman snapped his fingers and the robot's grasp tightened painfully around my arms and waist.
"Ow, ow ow ow OW!" I tried not to look terrified, even though I was certain he was going to squeeze me like an empty soda can.
"Well, kid? How do you know me?"
" A friend told me!" I grunted, I had to shut my eyes tight in all the pain.
"What friend?" Then he gasped, as if realizing something. "Your friend wouldn't happen to be a blue hedgehog, would he?" I opened my eyes wide, surprised he had guessed so easily with the little information I gave him. He cackled. "I can tell by the look on your face; you know him. What luck! Oh ho ho ho! C'mon Missile Wrists, let's get going." The robot continued to move forward with me in its hold still.
"Hey wait, put me down!" I demanded.
"Sorry kid. Now that I know Sonic's here, I can't allow him to foil my plans, so you can help me with that." I kicked and screamed as we trailed down the street.
"Great, now how am I supposed to get outta this?!"
More to come! To Be Continued- Unless you don't review... bwa hahahaha!
