I'm sorry if I took long. I started off this chapter rather well, but halfway through I decided to take a small break. And that break got extended once or twice. When I came back to writing, I sorta half-assed the end. So here it is! The half-assed chapter 8 of The Right Man in the Wrong Place! Enjoy!


Birds chirped and sang. Water gurgled from… somewhere. All was quiet as I rallied the team. "Remember, when I give the signal, you blow up the front doors and head in! The roof team will then drop in, giving you support from above. Got it?" After this mission I'll never come to Iraq again. Woo hoo!

I checked through one of the windows. "On three. One. Two. Three-"

My eyes flew open. I hate that dream! Stupid wars and battles. I didn't like it in school and I don't like it now. Once a week, I get this dream that I'm an army sergeant, and have to infiltrate an enemy-occupied building in Iraq. I have no idea why I'm having it though.

And dream before that made no sense either! Me meeting Sonic… yeah right. It WAS surprisingly detailed though. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

I was oddly tired from last night. All I did was make another video, and it didn't contain any action. 'Why the hell is it so hard to get up!' I groaned as I struggled to get out of bed. 'Am I sick? Damn it!' I fell out of bed.

As I tried to get up, I heard a deep rumble. "Is it 2012 already?" I joked as I got up. "Probably just a semi going down the road." But this rumble was different. It didn't last as long as it would if it were a truck. And it repeated itself a lot, like pounding.

I ignored it and went to go make pancakes. I quickly got out the pancake mix and milk. That rumbling was getting annoying. And… is that screaming?

"Yahhhhh!" A white object flew through the front door, through the living room, through the kitchen, and then out the open patio door. 'I don't remember leaving that open… Who cares! What was that thing?'

"Tyler! He's coming for you!" A voice called.

I yelled, "Get out of my head strange voice! I don't want to be one of those crazy people on TV!"

I heard sighing. "It's me! Silver!" Silver! I'm still dreaming right? "Silver" continued, "Scourge wants revenge! He's coming to KILL you!"

Nope. Not dreaming. I walked over to the door and called, "Where are you?"

"In the bush!" I never bothered to notice my new surroundings. In Wisconsin, I had large yards. Now I had a backyard the size of an office cubicle! And it was filled to the brim with bushes and shrubs.

"Which one?" I asked. "Keep talking! I'll follow the sound of your voice."

"Hey!" he called. The sound came from my immediate left. I stepped out onto the back steps, jumped off, and ran over to the bush left of the stairs. Just as I was about to reach in, a white head sprang up, scaring me shitless in the process. I fell backwards.

"What the hell!" I said, getting up.

Silver laughed. "Sorry…" Then his facial expression changed from happy to scared. "Scourge to coming to kill you!"

"Oh right…" I realized again.

"He broke out of jail really early this morning! We all tried to take him down, but he said he was coming for you." Leaves blew in the wind, making the situation really dramatic. I need a plan! And- I got it.

"Silver, how fast can you fly?"

"I never really bothered checking. Maybe a fourth as fast as Sonic?"

"Great!" This plan will work! "Follow me." I walked back into the house, Silver trailing. I put the pancake supplies away. I grabbed the Malibu's keys. I gave my Jeep to Castle Acorn so they could paint it with Parks & Recreation livery, and I sure as hell wasn't going to use the Saturn in this situation. My mom's Nissan held too many memories to be used. And I always hated the Malibu. It's vinyl seats made my nose congested.

We walked through the house. I grabbed my crowbar. The owner let me have it last night! It was now part of my life. And I'll come in handy in my plan…

"Silver, can you drive?" I asked.

"Me? Nope." So the plan is going to have to be improvised. We walked through the garage and out the back.

Where's the Malibu? Didn't Sonic say there were cars back here? I noticed a small piece of paper on the ground in front of my feet. It read, 'Dear Tyler, I wanted to get a closer look at your cars. I hope I didn't take them at a bad time. Your friend, Tails.'

"Dammit!" I said. I slipped the note in my pocket. Didn't Tails have my cell phone too? Crap.

"We'll have to take my pride and joy…" I sighed. Sound of gunfight suddenly rang out nearby. We're running out of time!

"Pride and joy?" Silver asked.

"Come into the garage and I'll show you." I led him in. I showed him the yellow Sky with open arms.

"Wow. What is it?" he said, gawking at it.

"This is my Saturn Sky."

It looked like tears welled up in his eyes, "It's beautiful…" This is getting creepy.

"You just stay here." I trusted him not to do anything stupid. I ran inside and threw the Malibu's keys onto the kitchen counter. I grabbed the Sky's keys off the counter too. I then headed back into the garage. I frowned at what I saw when I walked in.

Silver was in the driver's seat, looking and touching every single button, knob, and dial in the cockpit. He didn't notice me. I decided to do a 'Grand Theft Auto'.

Crowbar in hand, I ran over to the driver's door, threw it open, held my crowbar up, and yelled, "You're being carjacked!" Silver's face showed embarrassment, shock, surprise, and confusion.

He muttered, "Umm…"

I simply replied, "Wrong side." He quickly hurried out of the seat, ran over the other side, and got in.

"Sorry." he murmured when he was in.

I responded, "Oh, it's fine." Then I gave him a death stare. "Just don't do it again." His eyes bulged. "I'm not going to kill you. Just don't do it again." He seemed to calm down after that.

The gunfire got closer. I took the keys and jammed them into the ignition. The engine revved, scaring Silver. He calmed down quickly though.

I set my crowbar down on the floor, reached up to the visor and hit the garage door opener.

Time to set my plan in motion.

"Do you have any way to contact Shadow?" I asked Silver.

"Sure, my cell phone." Silver responded. Cell phone? Oh right. They have them.

"I need it." I said. He handed his phone to me as the garage door finally reached its peak. His phone wasn't actually that hard to use. I found Shadow's number on it really quickly.

He picked up right away. "What do you want Silver?" I could hear fighting in background. "Did you warn Tyler yet?"

I spoke, "It's me! Tyler! Are you fighting Scourge right now?"

"Tyler? Yes I am fighting Scourge. Is there anything else? I really have to go." Shadow answered.

"Listen. I have a plan that'll save the city, and myself." I said, putting the car in gear. "And I need one of your guns!"

"And why do you assume that I have any?" he questioned.

"You're a character in my world too. You had a whole video game about yourself! You took down an entire alien race!" I exclaimed.

"The Black Arms…" Shadow trailed off.

I continued. "Where are you?"

"In your park." he answered. MY park? Crap. I totally forgot I was the groundskeeper! He added on, "Just outside your house." No!

"Shadow! What ever you do, don't let Scourge near the house!"

"What? Why?" he asked.

"He'll level it!" I heard the fighting, and it sounded really close. I continued, "Shadow, stay where you are. I'll come to you."

"I'm already here." I heard a voice. Shadow walked through the open garage door. I closed the cell phone and handed it back to Silver. Shadow chucked a pistol at me. I caught it.

"Do you know how to use it?" he questioned.

I lied. "Sure I do!" It didn't seem so hard in video games. And it looked easy on TV too. The gun itself didn't look any different than the ones on Earth.

"Thanks Shadow." I said, as I hit the accelerator.

Silver, breaking his silence, asked, "What's this plan anyways?"

"I'm going to distract Scourge." I answered.

"And how am I a part of it?" he asked.

"I'll need to show you how to drive."

"What?" he gasped. "The Sky? There's no way-" I cut him off.

"That I can trust you that much? Especially after what happened in the garage?" I said as I drove through the opening in the greenery that Nicole showed me last night. "Well I am trusting you. Now pay attention…" I trailed off. We had just turned the corner after the shrub hole. And guess who was there.

"I'm BACK…"

The green escapee himself.

"You didn't think I could have forgotten you, did you?" Scourge threatened.

"It's too soon…" I muttered. I looked at Silver.

"I'll hold him off." Silver said, opening the door.

Right then, a black object flew into Scourge, knocking him off his feet.

"Silver get back in the car. New plan." I rushed. "Shadow!" I called as I got out of the car. Shadow looked over to me.

"You drive!" I ushered to the driver's seat. Shadow didn't ask any questions as he made his way over to the car. I called to Silver. "How good's your balance?" I asked as I climbed up onto the trunk. I offered a hand to Silver and pulled him from the passenger seat and up to where I was standing on the trunk. "What you and I are going to do, is to fend off Sleepy Green there while we lead him away from the city." I paused for effect. "Thus saving the town!"

Shadow commented as he got in the car, "That plan might be stupid enough to work." I frowned at him. Well screw you too.

Scourge, who was momentarily unconscious from Shadow's blow, stood up groaning. He must be weakened! I hope he got brain damage! Wait a sec…

I made the worst decision in my life. I taunted Scourge, "Hey Scourge! Did you lose any of your nonexistent brain cells?" Scourge stopped groaning and looked at me. His face of pain was replaced with a look of hatred and rage. Um…

"Shadow…" I said shakily. Scourge started to rear up. "Hit it! Hold on Silver!" I shouted as Silver and I braced ourselves against the car. Shadow slammed the accelerator down, and I would have been thrown off the vehicle if I didn't hold on. Scourge was running towards us now.

"Shadow, if it's possible, contact Nicole and tell her what we're doing!" I yelled over the Saturn's small yet powerful motor. Shadow pulled out a cell phone out of nowhere. How do they do that?

"Tyler!" I heard Silver call. "He's advancing!" Scourge had caught up fast. The Saturn was quick, but it had no chance against Scourge's speed.

"Where are we heading to?" Shadow asked.

"Sonic's house!" I had to shout.

Scourge grabbed onto the car. I smashed his hands with my crowbar. "Don't touch my ride!" Scourge cried out in pain, and slowed down significantly. But he recovered quick and ran back up.

"You do realize that I can run over 600 miles an hour, and your car is only goin' a hundred!" Scourge taunted as he jumped onto the car. Silver threw him off with his telekinesis. Scourge tumbled into a mailbox. Shadow turned left onto a bridge, almost throwing us off the Sky.

"You could give us some kind of warning!" I yelled at Shadow. Shadow didn't reply.

I saw a blue object a long way down the bridge.

"Hey! It's Sonic!" I shouted with hope, almost jumping with joy. Almost, because I would have been thrown off the car.

I heard the sound of tires squealing.

I had just enough time to turn around and spot Scourge pushing the car's passenger side.

Pushed by incredible strength, the roadster was thrown to the oncoming side of the bridge, scraping the side.

The side of the Saturn. My most valuable and loved possession, ruined by a green animal.

I swiftly took out Shadow's pistol.

"Oh Scourge!" I called, with fire in my eyes. "Sonic's behind you!" I lied.

I aimed the pistol at Scourge's head, him being distracted with his hate of Sonic.

I fired.

Next thing I know, I'm in a fetal position. Lying on the roadway, right before going into a deep sleep, I spy a metallic figure, standing over me, with the still-rising sun reflecting off its red pupils…


Yay for cliffhangers! I'll take the time now to tell you that I don't think I'll be able to get another plot-following story out before Christmas, so I'm starting a non-canon Christmas chapter now!

Also, I like to thank shadowtailsrox1224 for being an awesome writer, proof reader, and good friend. He was the first person I talked to on FanFiction and the first person to review this story! Thanks dude!

Until next time, don't forget to put a lid on Spagettios BEFORE you put them in the microwave! In the end, it goes boom.
