Operation Breakthrough…Set in Motion!
Chapter 8 is all set up!
It was at least 11:00 at night and everyone was in their position…except Crash Bandicoot, who was in a corner whimpering like an abused dog. Daxter walked up and cocked his head, "What're you doing Crash? Kirby and Waddle Dee are all ready to go."
"I'm not going in there!" Crash replied. Daxter sighed then had an idea. "Hey Crash." Daxter said. "Those guards over there are holding Wumpa fruit you know?" Crash gasped and ran at full speed but Daxter grabbed him by the neck and pulled him back. Daxter waved his finger in the air, "First, you must get them scared up nice and easy."
"How do I do that?" Crash asked. "Simple!" Daxter answered. Daxter took out whipped cream and sprayed it around Crash's mouth. Daxter grinned. "Now all you do is scare them, then they'll give you all the Wumpa fruit you want!" Crash started growling a little bit. "I want my Wumpa fruit…" he said quietly to himself then louder and louder. "I want my Wumpa fruit. I want my Wumpa fruit. I WANT MY WUMPA FRUIT!"
He ran towards the guards at full speed growling and snapping his teeth. The guards cocked their heads and took out a book called Cortex's Book of Animals you should know about. The guard flipped through pages until they found a page saying this: Rabid Bandicoots are known for their foaming mouths, crazy red eyes, and growling and snapping of teeth… They stared at each other and screamed like little girls. "A Rabid Bandicoot! For the love of villains everywhere saves us!" One guard wailed. "Oh my goodness it's insane! Help me Mommy!" Another one cried. Crash ran at full speed into one yelling, "Gimme Wumpa Fruit!" Daxter, Kirby and Waddle Dee were watching from Kirby's Warpstar. "All right that's our que." Kirby whispered. They slowly floated towards the rooftop and into the chimney.
Sly and Klonoa were quietly sneaking through the underground dungeon. As they snuck through the cavern, they heard the screams of pain from Sarah. "What do you think they're doing to her?" Klonoa asked. "They're probably torturing her until she breaks and then they'll get all of our secrets from the Contessa." Sly replied. Klonoa heard footsteps and quickly looked around for a hiding spot. Klonoa was panicking, "I can't see a hiding spot!" He whispered furiously. The guard came around the corner and looked around and saw two statues unfamiliar to him in a fighting stance. "I could've sworn I heard something from a couple of spies." He growled. He continued his walk through the dungeon and as he passed the two statues, Klonoa and Sly looked at the guard until he was out of sight and breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close." Klonoa whispered. Sly kept sneaking through the dungeon and pick pocketing unsuspecting guards. Soon they reached the dungeon and hid under a table seeing another guard pass by. Klonoa saw the keys dangling from his pocket. Klonoa was about to pick pocket him but then they heard a roar that made the two companions' blood run cold. There was a scream of pain then silence. Klonoa shuddered, "Just what was that thing?" "I don't know…" Sly replied. "But we have to continue our mission." Klonoa nodded and grabbed the keys from the half-eaten guard, still twitching from the frightening sight. Klonoa's curiosity got the best of him and he cautiously looked in the cell.
Empty…
Klonoa shrugged and freed the following heroes from their cell: Knuckles, Waddle Doo, and Kirby's three different colored brothers, Frogger, Alfred Chicken, Espio, Vector, and Charmy, and Conker.
Klonoa scratched his head, "There aren't as many heroes captured here as I thought." Sly shrugged and took out his communicator. "We're all done here." Sly said. "But Sarah's gone missing…" Bentley was lost in thoughts about this. "Well wait for the others to finish their job by taking the air vents and meeting Daxter, Kirby and Waddle Dee for the next part of the mission." Sly nodded and signaled Klonoa and the others to follow him to the nearest air vent.
The Super Mario Bros. were making their way through the back of the hide-out followed close behind by Fake Crash. They opened the back door and stood there in shock. "This is going to be tougher than I thought." Luigi whispered. The motion sensors were littered on almost every square on the floor. There was a table in the centre and at the far end of the room was the machine that turns off the motion sensors. The three tip-toed their way through the room and very cautiously climbed on the table and did Sonic's triangle jump move on the walls and quickly got towards the machine. "Where's Crash Bandicoot?" Fake Crash asked. Mario blinked and suddenly an orange blur sped right in front of them. "Hello allies!" Crash cheered. Then just as quickly as he arrived, Crash and his even crazier clone quickly pressed the quick moving lighted buttons. It took no time at all for them to finish.
The two waved their fists in the air, "We did it! We did it!" They cried. The motion detectors turned off instantly. Bentley dashed in with his hacking equipment. Bentley typed furiously into the keyboard of the computer, "Alright, I'm almost there…Perfect!" The lights went out and the villains freaked out. Sneedly moved his way through and quickly pressed a button, "That's what the back-up generators for!" He cried.
The villains cheered, and then a heartless looked up and caught Tails quietly flying over them. "Look!" The heartless cried, "A video game hero!" The villains gasped again and cornered Tails. He took out his communicator, "Bentley, they have a back-up generator!"
Bentley shook his head, "Tails use the smoke bombs!" Tails nodded and took out two bombs which he slammed into the ground and caused a mass cloud of smoke to appear. Tails found his opportunity and quickly nabbed the ray guns and flew off.
Sonic painted himself a darker blue and slowly made his eyes red using the chaos emeralds. He walked in and gave himself an evil grin. N. Gin turned around and cocked an eyebrow in suspicion. "Just who are you supposed to be?" He asked furiously. Sonic quickly thought of something, "I'm the new villain Sega and Sonic Team created…"
"Then what's your name?"
"They haven't really thought of one yet…"
N. Gin grinned, "Well you look like a very worthy adversary for the blue menace…Sonic!" Sonic shrugged, "Well, you know Sega and Sonic Team; they always seem to make theheroes win!" "Yeah I know!" N. Gin cried. Sonic walked away from a now sobbing N. Gin, scratching his head in confusion. Sonic then found a room saying secret plans. Sonic looked around and slowly put his ear to the door. "Well Rajan." He heard Sneedly say nastily, "This plan will work!" "Indeed, it will." Rajan replied, "Those foolish heroes don't know we created ray guns that harness the power of your big ray gun to vaporize heroes without having to carry the big thing around!" They laughed maniacally then Sneedly stopped and heard something. Sonic gasped, "I've been found out!" he thought. Then all the villains cornered him. Sonic quickly talked into his lightning blue communicator, "Bentley! The villains have made ray guns to kill us permanently! We…need…to…" Sonic was zapped by a big blast of fire sending him spiraling to the ground. "Oh no, the world's fastest hedgehog is hurt!" Sneedly said sarcastically, "Whatever shall we do!" The villains laughed and pulled Sonic up by his hair. Sonic choked as Sneedly squeezed his neck, "Now I have to kill you…" His hand started turning black color and quickly blacked-out.
The heroes were gathered outside waiting for Bentley to get a reply from Sonic. "Sonic? Do you read me?" He asked, "Sonic!" He closed his communicator, "They must've caught him." Crash looked through the window cautiously, "I can't see anything!" "What're we going to do?" Mario asked. Daxter slowly walked into the van, "Guess we'll have to think of another plan…" The others bowed their heads and walked into the van. Tails shook his head; Crash put a hand on his shoulder, "No worries! We'll get him back…eventually…right…? Crash just sighed and drank some Wumpa Whip.
Sarah was in a dark alleyway screaming and clenching her stomach. She growled and threw up the half of the guard she devoured. She stared at herself in a puddle, her aqua blue eyes had turned into evil demonic dragon eyes and her fangs had grown to be as strong as a lions. She crawled away from the image and screamed as the pain heightened. Her necklace had gone from red to purple and she was slowly growing more vicious with each passing hour…
Well the plan was almost successful and now Sonic's captured. Sarah's transforming into some demon dragon and Sneedly has something in store for our heroes. What is it? Find out in Chapter 9: Sarah's Rage and Sneedly's New Plan.
