Chapter 9 has comith! Ready your brains for some serious readin! Cuz this is getting interesting!
Now, I know a lot of you were expecting the fight this chapter, but really, this is the pre-fight. Sort of.
There's just some in-between stuff that needed to be written, alright? Well, on with it.
Disclaimer: Sonic, the gang, and Eggman belong to SEGA. OCs belong to their previously mentioned owners.
Now I'm sorry about this but—
(Alpha's POV)
I ran down the street as fast as I could, Destroyer, RJ, and Blink behind me. I had to make it. Before it was too late.
My brother's apartment in sight, I put on another notch of speed. I needed this to go right. Otherwise, Eggman would have our heads. And that would not be good.
Before I knew it, I was knocking loudly and rapidly on my little brother's door. I would've just knocked it down, but I didn't need to get into more trouble.
After a few seconds, Delta answered the door. I pushed past him.
"Where's that computer geek?" I demanded.
"Manic's not a—" Delta started.
"I don't care!" I screamed.
Frightened, Delta ran down a small hallway, screaming Manic's name. After a minute or so, Sonic's younger brother emerged into the scene, Delta cowering behind him.
"What d'you want?" He questioned me, taking out his earplugs.
"I need you to hack into the police's security cameras," I responded tartly. "I want to find out where Sonic and his gang are."
"Sonic—wait—why—er. . . . NO!" He stomped his foot in retaliation. I smirked.
"C'mon, pwetty pweese?" I put my hand over my heart in pure mockery. Manic knitted his eyebrows.
"Not goin' to."
"Alright. Put it this way." I got in his face, "If you don't do it, we'll snap your neck in half."
Manic stood his ground. Though I could tell in his eyes he was scared.
"I'm not doing anything you ask me too!"
"Manic!" Delta whispered frantically. Delta was always afraid. Nitwit.
I snapped my fingers.
Immediately, Destroyer charged forward and grabbed ahold of Manic and Delta. One in each arm. I grinned.
"You sure about that?"
I finally hit a weak spot. Manic looked like a frightened little baby, just like Delta.
"Fine. I'll do it." He muttered, turning away.
I smiled. Time to see what lil' Sonic was up to.
(Sonic's POV)
I had the strange feeling someone was watching me. I wasn't sure who, what, or why, but I was positive someone was. I tried not to think about it right now. It wouldn't help me. Because along with someone watching me, someone was also chasing me.
And that someone was Eggman.
By the looks of it, he has learned from his mistakes. He wasn't coming on with a weird robot that resembled some sort of animal or something else just as stupid. Now, he was coming on with actual weapons. And an actual army. I was seriously rethinking my entire plan. I just hoped Tails and the others would be here soon. I needed them.
I made confusing twists and turns, soared high over buildings and hid in pitch black alleyways, but I still couldn't shake them off. There had to be hundreds of them. All with ten foot electrical rods and giganto laser guns. Eggman was worst of all. He had like a hundred cannons on his little ship thing. And forty laser guns. Along with shaking them off, I had to dodge cannonballs and giant lasers. This was just not my day.
When I finally found a spot where they absolutely couldn't find me, I relaxed. It wasn't the most comfortable hiding place though. I was under about ten bags of garbage. Yup. Ew.
I was sitting there for about ten minutes when I heard the fzzt, fzzt! of some of the guards' electrical rods. I stayed as quiet as I could, trying to listen in on their conversation. What I heard surprised me.
"What do we do when we find him, A.J.?" A dude that sounded around my age asked. He spoke oddly fast. Maybe he was just hyper.
"I'm not quite sure. . . . ." A girl who must've been A.J. answered.
"But you always have a plan!" Hyper whined.
I heard a long groan. It didn't sound like A.J. though. Maybe there was a third in this. . . . she didn't sound happy to be there.
"I know, I know, just. . . be quiet, alright T-BARZ?" A.J. responded.
T-BARZ? Did that stand for something?
"Psh, fine." T-BARZ muttered.
"I'll check over here," The third muttered.
"Go ahead," A.J. said.
"Umbra's weird," T-BARZ declared. The third was named Umbra, apparently.
A.J. groaned.
"Alright, maybe. . . maybe when we find him, we'll teleport him somewhere, then tell him everything." She said.
Wait. . . what? How did these guards have this technology? Suddenly I was a lot more interested.
"Good idea," T-BARZ agreed.
I suddenly realized the only solution. These guys didn't work for Eggman. The scientist would never give up some of his teleporting devices to some random teenage guards. They must be on our side.
Purposely, I made a grunting noise.
"Over here!" T-BARZ shouted.
"Umbra! C'mon!" A.J. called.
"Um— one sec!" Umbra responded. I wondered what she could be doing.
Next thing I knew, T-BARZ had dug me out of my hiding place and I was back on solid ground.
"Sheesh," I dusted myself off.
"Hi! I'm T-BARZ!" He stuck his hand out at me. I shook it, looking him over. He was a bright blue bat with purple eyes. He seemed cool.
"Umbra." A black cat muttered, waving slightly. Yup. Definitely didn't want to be here. That made me skeptical. I made a mental note to stay away from her.
"And I'm A.J." I almost fell to the floor. It was a human. "I'm your long lost sister." Now I was sure I was definitely going to fall.
"How—" I started to say.
"There was a problem with my birth. The doctors have no idea why or how."
I knitted my eyebrows.
"You're not joking. . . . .?"
"I am most certainly not joking." She looked at me straight in the eyes. She had emerald green eyes, just like me. I suddenly believed her.
"Alright, so. . . . ." T-BARZ said, breaking the silence.
"Right." AJ took out a small microchip thing. She pressed one of the buttons, and it expanded into a Tablet-looking thing. She tapped a few things, then pressed a large button in the center. Their images started to fade.
"Am I—"
"Teleporting?" AJ finished. "Yes."
As the last of the world around me disappeared, blackness consumed me. For about a millisecond. Then, I was at Twinkle park. Sitting on a bench. Weird.
Suddenly, I felt woozy. I looked around, then decided I should take a nap. I started to lean to the left to lie down. Right as my head was about to make contact with the bench, a hand stopped it.
"We need to talk," AJ said.
"Seriously?" I popped back up.
"Seriously." She responded, sitting next to me.
I yawned. "Well. . . . .?"
"I'll get this done as fast as I can." AJ said, pulling out her microchip and expanding it into a tablet again. "About six years ago, Eggman started hiring Mobian guards. . . . ." An image showed Dr. Eggman sitting in his little pod chair thing with a line of Mobians in front of him. As each took their turn, they handed him a sheet of paper. Eggman would either wave them to the right, or the left. "He figured that they would be harder to beat then some regular old robots." The screen then showed me, in my spindash, killing off robots one by one. "After a while, some of us guards started going against Eggman and his cruelties. Over the years, more and more guards came to our side. We secretly gathered—" There was a large room with some guards in it. Every second, the number of guards multiplied. "—and collected weapons, tools, technology, computers, food, everything we would need. We call ourselves the Resistance." The room was now filled with weapons, tools, everything she said. I marveled at the sight. Then, AJ shrunk the tablet back into a microchip and put it in her pocket.
"I guess that's what Eggman gets for hiring real people," I concluded. "But how did you get in? Why would Eggman hire a human?" I asked. "No offense."
"None taken," AJ smiled. "T-BARZ found me the year he was hired. I was sitting on the Station Square docks. . . ." She frowned. "I told them how I was always ridiculed and bullied because I was a human. And he took me in without question. And, eventually, I worked my way up to being the leader of the Resistance."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yup."
"That's awesome." I said. "Wait. . . so the Resistance will help us this time?"
"Our numbers are big enough." She replied. "Just give me the word, and I'll send them against Eggman and his faithful guards. And with you on the team, we can't lose."
I blushed. "Thanks."
I gave my sister a hug.
"Well, I've got to find my friends now," I said, getting up. "See ya later, sis."
"Goodbye, Sonic."
I then took off. I had to find Tails.
(Amy's POV)
I was extremely nervous at school.
What Alpha had said frightened me. If I said something or went looking for Sonic or did anything against them, they would kidnap me again. And Sonic would have to come for me, and Tails and Cream. Imagine what they'd do to him then.
It was after Phys Ed I got a phone call from Tails. Confused, I answered.
"Tails? What—"
"No time. We've escaped. Sonic needs our help. Right now he's about to fight Eggman's army of Mobian guards. We need all the help we can get."
"I—I can't."
"What? Why not?"
"I. . . just. . . can't."
"Amy—"
"Trust me Tails, I'd help you if I could."
"Al. . . Alright."
"Tell Sonic I wish him luck."
"Okay. I will. Bye, Amy."
"Bye."
I almost threw the phone on the ground. I was trapped here. And Sonic and the others were out there, fighting Eggman. All I could do was carry on with the schoolday. And that was very, very hard to do.
I continued on pretty easily, I paid enough attention to learn each lesson. But I'll tell you. It was one of the most difficult things ever. I've been by Sonic's side as much as I've could over the years. But this was one time I wasn't there to help him.
After fifth period, I was determined. I dropped everything. I ditched school. I drove out to the city. I got out of my car. I pulled out my hammer. I didn't care what Alpha said.
I was ready to fight.
Boo yah! And there we have it, folks! The pre-battle chaptah nine! Woot!
I hope you didn't mind that I put Alpha's point of view in there. I might put some other OC's POVs, too, though. Just you wait and see.
So. . . . yeah. Peace out, peoples! Review please! X3
