Pikatwig: Another day, another chapter!

KKD: WHOA! *KKD falls in through the roof.* Okay, who put that trap door up there?

Pikatwig: … Sly's not gonna cameo in this chapter buddy. Sorry. You okay?

KKD: I'm not even dressed as Sly this time. Didn't you see what happened? *Points to a hole in the ceiling where a trap door was.* You need to watch where you put those doors.

Pikatwig: I never had a trap door installed. Anyway, today is the big battle between our heroes and Overdrive Metal Bass! Oh and another thing before I forget, there's gonna be a cameo of Kirby near the end of the chapter.

KKD: NOW you tell me. I could've gotten the little pink puffball in this opening segment.

Pikatwig: My bad… sorry, though in my defense, I worked in Kirby's appearance this afternoon at lunch.

KKD: Oh. Well if that's the case, then Kirby may as well eat me up.

Pikatwig: Alrighty, time for the disclaimers. We don't own Sonic the Hedgehog, Megaman or Kirby. But I own Dr. Blair a-

KKD: And Tune! Don't forget Tune.

Pikatwig: I was about to say that, and… what kinda form would you give Kirby anyway?

KKD: I'm not sure… maybe a form based off a rider if he were to swallow one. *a wind sucks KKD back suddenly, seeing he was in his KR SEGA armor.* NO WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN MEEEEEEE! *Soon gets gulped up by Kirby as the puffball entered as SEGA Kirby.*

Pikatwig: Maybe…. and Kirby, spit him out. *Kirby groaned and did that, revealing KKD in slobber.*

KKD: Ew! Puffball slobber!

Pikatwig: On with the chapter already!

"O-overdrive… Metal Bass?" Sonic said in shock.

"Prepare to die!" Overdrive Metal Bass roared before sending a powerful gust of wind with his wings. It began to blow away several things, including several police cars, causing both heroes to chuckle slightly.

Sonic then tried to use his Homing Attack Overdrive Metal Bass, and after multiple failures, he managed to hit him in the head, forcing the fused villain to stop the wind, and allowing Megaman to use the Super Adapter. Super Adapter Megaman began to walk forward, and use his boosters to help project himself, due to the wind still kinda dying down. Super Adapter Megaman then unleashed his Charged Rocket Shot attack, but Overdrive Metal Bass wasn't damaged badly despite getting hit; in fact, he just dusted himself off as if cleaning something off his armor.

"Is that it?" Overdrive Metal Bass scoffed.

"What are we gonna do, we're throwing our best shots at this guy!" Sonic muttered.

"Don't know Sonic, but we need a new battle plan! And I think of got one!" Super Adapter Megaman replied.

"Well, I'm all ears!" Sonic responded.

"Well, you're best moves have soundwave effects right?"

"Yep."

"Well, if you can use your Sonic Boost at a high enough speed, it'll damage him enough to be stunned and I think we can handle it from-"

Then the plan discussion is cut short by an attack that neither one of them saw coming! Overdrive Metal Bass using the purple Emerald's power, in the form of Chaos Control. Easily hitting the heroes.

"What'd they do?" Super Adapter Megaman asked after shaking the hit off.

"Chaos Control. A speed only obtainable when in possession of a… Chaos Emerald!" Sonic responded, remembering he was holding onto the blue Emerald.

He was about to grab it, when time slowed to a halt, it was Overdrive Metal Bass, using the power of two Emeralds at once!

"Alright! What do you say we hit them with a strong attack Metal?" Bass' voice asked.

"Agreed! And I have the one in mind, it'll have to use the power of all three Emeralds, but, it's worth it, Shadow the Hedgehog's Chaos Blast!" Metal's voice replied.

Time then resumed, and the combined entity began to charge up power.

"Uh oh! Rock, we gotta move now! That's the-" Sonic tried to explain, but it was to late!

"Chaos... BLAST!" Overdrive Metal Bass yelled out, causing a huge explosion of purple Chaos Energy all around the area, it hit both heroes, and they both screamed in pain.

When the energy finally subsided, only Sonic and Megaman were hurt, Rush having been forced back out of the Super Adapter combo with Megaman, both heroes barely conscious.

"Let's add insult to injury! Or in this case…. death to injury!" Overdrive Metal Bass exclaimed charging up both the Bass Buster and the Metal Buster, both then fire and charged right at the heroes, hitting them both!

Their injuries finally began to get to them.

"No…." Sonic muttered, before finally losing consciousness.

"Wake up…" a voice said. "Wake up… Come on! You two have gotta wake up!" the voice said, as Sonic finally began to regain consciousness, all of his injuries healed 100% of the way.

He opened his eyes, actually expecting Roll, but it wasn't her, but rather, a different girl.

"Good, you're awake." she said joyfully.

"What happened? Where's Megaman, and that jerk! And Silver?" Sonic asked.

Then Rock, walked into the room.

"Easy Sonic, we've been out for a week. Silver was captured, but they didn't get our Emerald." he explained.

"Okay, that's go-... wait, a week?" Sonic gawked. "Then how'd I end up here?"

"Well, it's better if this girl explains it. By the way, you never told us who you are." Rock said. "Well, before you tell us who you are, I'm-"

"DLN. 001, Rock Light, aka Megaman. And his friend Sonic the Hedgehog. Nice to meet you both. I'm DBN. 081, Sugar Woman but please, call me Tune," the girl answered. "And to answer your question, Sonic, Protoman found you and managed to bring you both over to me using some type of silver gemstone; I was then able to heal your injuries… Rock happened to wake up three days ago." Tune told the two blue heroes.

Then Roll walked in with a huge smile on her face.

"Thank goodness you guys are okay!" she smiled, hugging both Sonic and Rock.

"Thanks again for helping us, Tune," Rock smiled.

"Hey, now that I think of it…" Sonic started, blushing, as Roll released the hug. "I-uh… believe I still owe you that d-... d-... You know, the d-d-d-daaa…"

"The date, right?" Roll finished.

"Yea… that," Sonic confirmed.

"I'll go get ready," Roll smiled as she left to get ready. She walked out, wearing the same thing as yesterday, her shirt had white and blue stripes, she was wearing a long black skirt, she didn't have a ponytail, instead her hair was long and flowing, and the same white jacket and, wait…

"Aren't you missing something Roll?" Sonic asked. "A wind blew away my beret. Ah well, you ready to go Sonic?"

"Yep. I'm ready," Sonic nodded as they headed out.

Later, Sonic had to admit that he enjoyed his time with Roll, the two arm-in-arm as Sonic blushed. The two walked around aimlessly for a bit.

"Hey Sonic, look." Roll told Sonic, pointing over at a gondola ride.

Sonic looked nervous, gondolas mean water… and the last thing he wanted, was for Roll to find out he's scared of water.

"Sonic, you okay?"

"Yeah, let's go." Sonic said, still nervous, but happy to be with Roll, and in truth, the ride wasn't too bad, someone rowed the boat, while Sonic and Roll simply looked around the city, amazed by it's beauty at sunset.

Sonic simply turned and looked at Roll, and while he thought she was amazing before, she was simply stunning, the sun's setting was causing a nice ray of light to glisten onto her hair, and a small breeze made it great, and then her eyes began to sparkle. Sonic then turned away before Roll could notice he was staring at her, and saw a small beret stand.

'Perfect,' he thought to himself before going over and purchasing a new beret for Roll, which he quickly placed onto her head.

"Wow! Thanks," Roll smiled.

"No problem," Sonic smiled back as they continued to watch and talk, such as about their pasts and such.

Sonic then laughed at a joke, and then both sighed and continued to watch. 'I wish I had the courage to tell Roll how I really feel...'

"So beautiful…" Sonic said without thinking, Roll simply giggled. "You know, the sunset is beautiful. Hey Sonic, bet you don't know why the sunset is red? You see, light's made up of colors, and out of all those colors, red is the one that travels the farthest."

"Like I asked, know-it-all!" Sonic replied, as both laugh.

The duo just smiled at the sunset, enjoying their time together. Then, Sonic and Roll also took a picture of each other on the date before the sun set completely.

"You know, I really enjoyed this date," Roll smiled.

"Yea… same here," Sonic agreed as they were getting closer to each other, and then, just as they were inches apart…

When an all to familiar whistle begins to play...

They stopped and turned to see who caused it.

"Hey sis." Protoman says.

"Blues?!" Roll gawked.

"So, your little boyfriend's okay, good. I'm keeping the Emerald in case I need it. See ya!" he said, using his Proto Shield to grind away.

"...We'd better get moving then," Sonic sighed.

"Agreed," Roll nodded as they left, later meeting up with Tune and Rock.

Tune then gave Rock something. "See you again one day Rock?"

"Sure thing." he replied. Rock looked at the gift he was given, Kirby's Return to Dreamland 2! "This game isn't even out in America yet! How'd you…"

"I pre-ordered it, and when I heard you were gonna come here, I wanted to give it to you."

"Wow… thanks," Rock smiled with a slight "blush" before Tune left.

"So… who'd you spend your time with your new… girlfriend?" Sonic teased Rock.

"Rock's all grown up!" Roll added.

Rock only began to "blush" deeper, and then he yelled "That's not funny Roll, so how was your date with your little boyfriend!"

"Rock Light, I already got that from Blues!" Roll yelled

"Ah man!" he replied.

Back at Eggman & Wily's base, Overdrive Metal Bass was loading up Silver into another containment unit, also giving Silver his missing glove.

"Another resounding success!" Wily smirked. "You have far surpassed my expectations, Overdrive Metal Bass."

Before the fused bot could respond, Silver groaned and woke up in his capsule, just as Overdrive Meatl Bass splits up into their individual forms. "Metal! What's going on here?" Silver yelled. "Long story short spiky." Shadow began "Stop calling me that!" Silver yelled. "My hair is not that long!"

"Dude, out of all of us, you are the one in the biggest need of a haircut!" Knuckles told Silver.

"Anyway, Eggman and his new buddy Wily captured all of us, the Faker is still out there with Wily's enemy, and they have three Emeralds." Shadow explained.

"Despite our success, Protoman still has the Silver Emerald right now," Bass explained.

"That's alright, Bass," Eggman replied.

"FINALLY you say my name right!" Bass exclaimed.

"What's the big deal about Bass?" Silver asked, pronouncing it like the fish name!

"SHUDDUP!" Bass snapped at the silver Hedgehog.

"Well you have the fins for it." Silver added. "Shut up Spiky!"

"It's Silver, dumb Bass." he said, saying the name right.

"Now to return to tracking the remaining Emeralds, and the remainder of Sonic's pals," Wily figured.

"Yes… and this is all going according to plan…" Eggman smirked.

Back with our heroes, they were returning home with Roll in her usual attire.

"It's a great story! In it, a dark force invades Dreamland while Kirby's away, due to some form of Star Warrior training, and he gets a message from Meta Knight, but he can't get back home, so teaming up with Ribbon from Kirby 64, and Prince Fluff from Kirby's Epic Yarn, and a new character, the four must find the 14 Infinity Stars and save Dreamland!" Rock explained part of the story for the new game." Rock explained.

Then the three hear a whistle from inside, and they see good ol' Blues inside eating a bag of chips. "'Sup." he said simply.

"Not much. Wanna play the new Kirby game? We can do 4-player co-op," Rock offered.

"Sure!" all three said.

Thus, they start the game up, Sonic is Player 1: Kirby, Rock is player 2: Ribbon, Blues is Player 3: Prince Fluff, while Roll is Player 4, and ironically, is playing with Roll. In Ramen Road Act 2, Sonic manages to find a "Roulette Power" which will allow Kirby to pick from any of the game's normal powers.

"Oh this could be good!" Sonic said squinting his eyes so he could look closer.

"Or it could be bad!" Rock said.

"It could." Blues added, as Sonic selected the power: Sleep!

He then angrily yelled out "GAAAAAAAAAAME!"

This caused everyone else, but Roll, to laugh as Kirby just fell asleep on the ground for a few seconds.

"Oh what's that?" Rock said, pointing to an enemy, a Pacto to be precise, that ate Kirby, with Sonic being unable to dodge! Rock began to laugh, while Blues simply went "Wam-wam-wam!" and an angry Sonic, pulled his quills and once again yelled out "GAAAAAAAAAME!"

"This is just so eventful." Rock said. Sonic sighed, as Roll freed him, and they walked forward, and Sonic managed to grab the Whip Power, but another Pacto grabbed him!

"GAAAAAAME!" he yelled out for the third time! Rock simply began to laugh like crazy. Blues simply said "Wow, had to be saved by your girlfriend twice, eh Sonic?"

Rock then began to rub his eye and said "I have tears in my eyes. That was amazing!"

Sonic sighed, and then got freed, but lost his power, Sonic moved Kirby over to get it back, before it fell down a bottomless pit! "GAAAAAAME!" Sonic yelled, with his muzzle actually turning red! Roll glared at her brothers and said "Guys, this isn't funny!"

"It kinda is!" Blues said. "Okay, so here's what I don't get Rock, see Prince Fluff's power is pretty much like the whip. So why does Kirby have the Whip Power again?"

"Because the whips are different, Kirby's is more adventurer type, but Prince Fluff's has a bit more of a needle like it." Rock explained.

"You know Sonic, we wouldn't be going anywhere with you." Roll said. "Sides, you're really good!"

"Thanks." Sonic replied, as he used the whip, and defeated a mini-boss, and thus finished the level!

"Do the Kirby!" Rock yelled as the dance began.

"Great job Sonic!" Roll said, giving Sonic a hug, he blushed. "Thanks."

Blues sighed, and then Chaos Controlled away, the game saves, and Rock switches back to one-player mode. "So Sonic, you like the picture we took right?"

"Yep." Roll then sighed and looked right into his eyes, happily. The two hug, while Sonic simply began to think. "Worried about your friends?"

"Yep."

"Don't worry we'll find them."

Back with Tune, she was telling Dr. Blair of her experience with Rock after bringing her some supplies.

"He really stole my heart!" Tune finished.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Dr. Blair said, using a few tools on something.

"MY WII U! Dr. Blair!" Tune exclaimed.

"Tune, you need to be prepared, for a big day, and for that day, I need seven more Robot Masters, and if you're too distracted by your little boyfriend to help, then so be it, I'll use what's needed!"

"You've never told me about this big project, what is it?"

"I can't tell you yet Tune, but you'll know."

Tune sighed, and left for her room, she looked over at a small globe of the world, and sighed. "Rock, you stole my heart."

Back over at Light Labs late at night, Roll looked at Sonic's door, sighed, and knocked on it. "Hey Roll, what's up?"

"Can I… s-s-stay in here… with you?" Roll asked. "You wanna spend the night with me?" Sonic said to be sure.

"Yeah."

"Sure…" Sonic said, walking in for a moment, and then Roll followed, Sonic soon fell asleep, and before Roll did, she had one last thought, she said aloud "Sonic, you stole my heart…"

Next day…

"Is this gonna be a regular thing?" Sonic asked Roll.

"...Maybe…" Roll smiled, giving Sonic a hug. "Maybe we can go and look for your friends… together… just the two of us."

Sonic nodded, and after a minute or two, the two were as happy as could be, as they took off on Sonic's Extreme Gear, Roll hanging onto Sonic's waist, "blushing" and smiling.

Pikatwig: So, this a good chapter or what?

KKD: Yea… good… *Wipes off Kirby slobber from his armor.* Hard to believe this stuff is still wet.

Pikatwig: So, favorite part?

KKD: Probably the gaming scene. The idea of video game characters playing video games…

Pikatwig: And for those curious, the scene with Sonic yelling "GAAAAME" is indeed a reference to TheRunawayGuys, a YouTube channel where three Let's Players, play co-op games. So, the best moment with Sonic and Roll's romance from this chapter?

KKD: I think it was that date that had in France.

Pikatwig: Also, can you explain the hidden reference in that scene with Sonic and Roll at the Eiffel Tower?

KKD: Yea, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. 1st scene with Roxas and Axel at the clocktower in Twilight Town.

Pikatwig: Yep, so, Sonic and Roll almost kissed! What'd you think of that part?

KKD: Kinda infuriated me a little that they didn't do it, but it was still clever.

Pikatwig: So, the thoughts on the fight with Overdrive Metal Bass, and please, try not to faint.

KKD: Too impressive. Not enough to make me faint. You still upset from the last chapter's ending?

Pikatwig: No, I was just saying, try not to is all. I liked the fight with Overdrive Metal Bass, and also, the part with Tune near the end was fun. I liked how we get to see her personality a little, your thoughts on the scene with Tune and Dr. Blair?

KKD: Tune's a fun gal. But Doc Blair? She's… she's a bit of a stiff.

Pikatwig: Anyway, any other comments before we end this chapter off?

KKD: Only one: Who keeps putting these random holes and trap doors into your place if it isn't you? *Points to an open trap door he was hovering over before falling through, screaming.*

Pikatwig: *Flies down and gets him, putting him on an Extreme Gear.* Kirby with the Stone Power makes the holes, and we're working on fixing them. Anyway, see you in the next chapter!
