DunBroch
((Youtube: watch?v=rzyZkHUWxNE starts playing))
The huge battle that had been raging earlier in the afternoon was still continuing, with no hope of ever ending until one village leader stood victorious. Due to this, nearly half of each village had been trashed due to either arrow, catapult, or had simply collapsed due to some of the villagers ripping off pieces of building to use as a melee weapon. The battles in each village were forming up with one another, and altogether, their massive war was approaching the castle by the minute.
Currently battling amongst the villagers, mostly at the front of the battlefield, were the three lords. MacGuffin threw a punch at Macintosh, but the skinny and nimble lord evaded the attack. Dingwall was then turned around suddenly, which he saw was by Dingwall, but when the burly lord lifted up his kilt, the bearded lord covered his eyes in fear, shouting out in disgust as he stumbled backwards away. "Ahh! It's too horrible!" he shouted. Macintosh saw this as an opportunity and quickly scrambled over to the stumbling lord, leaping onto his back. "Long live the rule of Macintosh!" he shouted to the heavens.
((Music stops))
During this embarrassment of a scuffle, which was basically MacGuffin trying his best to remove Macintosh, who was pounding on his back in a very weak-looking way, Dingwall got some time to think as he watched the two dumbbells before him. That was when a sudden thought hit him. "Wait a minute," he said softly to himself before quickly looking at MacGuffin and Macintosh, who was now being sat on by the bearded lord. "Stop fighting you two dummies!" That remark caused the two lords to look up at him, enraging them to the point that they no longer cared about fighting one another. MacGuffin got off of Macintosh and charged at the white-haired lord, Macintosh by his side. Unfortunately, this charge didn't get them anywhere, because once they were close, Dingwall simply punched both of them, sending them back onto the ground. "Listen to me! I think I know why this whole war thing was started and who were the ones who started it."
"Who?" asked MacGuffin, a somewhat confused look on his face.
"The King and Queen. They sent those people to spread rumors about us to our people, just to get them to fight one another, which would get us to fight one another," Dingwall answered.
"But why would they do that?" asked Macintosh.
"Because they want to have no one opposing them in ruling DunBroch. They knew that if those rumors were spread, we would start a war, and they know how determined we all are, so they knew that we would probably all eliminate ourselves, and if one of us were still left, they would have simply taken that one lord out easily in his weakened state," Dingwall explained to them.
Macintosh gave him a confused look. "Don't they already rule DunBroch by themselves?"
"No, why do you think we're around? For our good looks?"
"Hah, if that were true, you wouldn't be around Dingwall," MacGuffin laughed, but all that got him was a thump over the head.
"Quiet! And to get back to the point, they need us to help make or pass things that effect the kingdom. Without us, they can do whatever they want and not have anyone checking over whatever they do," Dingwall continued.
"But if they did do this, then why would they make their rumor-spreaders tell bad things to say they said bad stuff about us?" MacGuffin asked as he rubbed his aching head.
"Because they didn't want to make their plan so obvious. If they wouldn't have said they said anything bad about us, it would make them seem suspicious," Macintosh answered for Dingwall. "They must have thought we'd be too stupid to figure it out!" he shouted angrily. "Guess the jokes on them now, isn't it?"
Macintosh and MacGuffin got off the ground and stood beside Dingwall, all them reunited to announce an attack on a new and now common foe. "Stop fighting! All of you!" the three lords shouted loudly, gaining the attention of the battling villagers behind them, which also made them stop immediately. This included a catapultist, who accidentally caused a large boulder to be launched when he stopped. The boulder slammed onto the ground close to Macintosh, causing the skinny lord to quickly leap into Dingwall's arms. "Sorry," the man shouted. "Get off me!" Dingwall said angrily before dropping Macintosh onto the ground.
"This whole battle was all caused by the King and Queen!" shouted MacGuffin. This caused all the villagers, who had now gathered around their lords, to murmur and talk amongst each other, until finally one spoke up. "But why?" asked one of the muscle-bound men. "Because, they want complete control over what goes on in this kingdom, and to have that complete control, they need to take out the three people who have the ability to overrule what they say... sometimes," Dingwall answered. "So to solve this problem, they decided to send people, most likely their servants or trusted guards in disguise, to spread lies, lies that caused this whole war to break out, just to eliminate us," Macintosh continued from where Dingwall had left off. "I think I know what we can do to solve this problem. We need to take this up close and personal to them, show them we aren't idiots and that when you mess with one lord, you mess with all of them... along with their villagers," MacGuffin finished. With their melee weapons held high in the sky, the three lords gave out a battle cry. "Advance on the castle!" The lords led the way to the castle, hundreds of angry villagers following.
In Merida's room, Mercilla watched in her 'Merida' guise with excitement brimming in her eyes. She was enjoying every moment of it, knowing that the more this whole war went on, the closer she got to the absolute rule she always wanted to have. 'I'm so close to being the ruler I can almost taste it!' she thought excitedly. The sound of the three lords' war cry and their order to the villagers following them entered her ears, causing an evil smile to spread out on her face. The assumption that the three lords would eventually blame the King and Queen for this predicament, join up with one another, and defeat Fergus and Elinor, was proven true at that moment to Mercilla. 'Thank god for us having idiots for lords,' she thought with a chuckle.
((Youtube: watch?v=m32XuCyOfts starts playing))
The battle mob of villagers had finally reached the entrance to the castle, taking out any guards who were unfortunate to get in their way. The catapults were wheeled into the right position, boulders were loaded onto them, and they were fired at the walls. The impacts of the boulders caused some minor dents on the sturdy brick wall the castle was built out of. Thankfully, none of the boulders were striking anywhere that villagers stood. Around the dents were chunks of boulder, ranging from huge to small sizes, were scattered along the ground. While this was going on, many of the other villagers were trying to bash their way inside with whatever they had on them, be it melee weapons or their own bodies, but even though a great number of people had slammed against the door, the wooden frame would not break nor budge.
Inside the castle, the reason for why their wooden entrance was hard to break down was because Fergus and Elinor had made a makeshift barricade out of whatever furniture they could find downstairs, along with Fergus having hammered on some strong wooden planks across the door. As they hurriedly pushed the last remaining furniture they had against the wooden barricade, they hoped it would keep the mad villagers out for a little while as they planed on what to do. They quickly retreated up the stairs and ran to their room, which were where Harris, Hubert and Hamish were located. As the sounds of the villagers' attempts at getting in grew more and more louder, they hunkered over their three boys and held them close protectively. "How did all of this happen?" Fergus asked himself, confusion and fear for his family's safety clear in his voice.
((Music stops))
The three Triplets looked at one another with nervousness, knowing they had to tell what they had heard last night. "Mommy, Daddy," they all began to say, which caused both his parents to shift their attention to them. "Merida caused this to happen," Hubert said.
Elinor sighed frustratedly. "Boys, this is not the time to point the blame to your sister."
"We're telling the truth," Harris said. "We heard her talking to herself in a strange voice last night, talking about how she could overthrow you and daddy, along with get rid of the three lords. She came up with the idea, which is going on right now." "We're telling the truth," all three of them said at the same time.
Elinor exchanged a nervous glance with her husband before turning back to they boys. Normally, they would hardly ever blame Merida for something that had happened. After a moment of silence, Elinor spoke to them. "You're certain?"
"Yes," they all said, no hint of doubt in their voices.
After another quick exchanged look between her and her husband, she turned back to her three sons, but it was Fergus who said something to them. "Stay here and keep down. Don't move for anything."
"Not even to potty?" asked Hamish.
"Yes, not even for that," Elinor said before creeping over to the door behind her husband when they passed by the room's window. Once out in the hallway, they went over to Merida's room and carefully opened the door, as to not alert their "daughter" to their presence, before creeping inside.
'Merida' watched the failed attempts of the villagers as they desperately tried to break into the castle. "Are none of these idiots strong enough to break down a simple wooden door?" she asked herself, agitated by how slow this was going.
Both Fergus' and Elinor's eyes widened in alarm, not able to believe what they had just heard. Not wanting to alert her to their presence just yet, they were forced to keep quiet.
With a sigh, 'Merida' turned to her bed, still not noticing Fergus and Elinor, and began to walk to it. "Looks like I'll have to take care of them myself." She got on her knees and stretched her hand out under the bed, feeling around for what she was looking for. Once she grasped what she wanted, she pulled it out, revealing an extra bow and an extra arrow case filled with arrows. As she got the arrow case on, she finally noticed the King and Queen in her room. "Mom, dad... what are you doing in here? You scared me you know..." she said, a little nervous due to the fact she had no idea how long they had been there.
"Who are you?" shouted Fergus.
((Youtube: watch?v=Dfh5OmkH2es starts playing))
With a smirk, 'Merida' laughed. "So you already know, do you? Well, now that you know I'm not really your stupid little daughter, I can't let anyone else know or you'll ruin my future." She quickly put an arrow in her bow and aimed it right at Fergus. "At least I'll be the one to take your lives, and not those idiots down there. And once I'm done with you, they'll be gone too. I'll make sure to it. And when they're dead, those three sons of yours will be the next to go."
Both Fergus and Elinor wanted to take out this imposter so badly, but were thwarted by the possibility of being killed by one of her arrows. 'I was so stupid to not have figured out that this Merida was a phony the minute she began acting different,' Elinor thought to herself. 'But... if this isn't Merida... then where is my real daughter?'
'Merida''s next sentence interrupted the thoughts of Elinor. "Now, who should I kill first?" She moved the point of the arrow back and forth between Fergus and Elinor, really thinking about which one she should kill first. She had an equal amount of hate for both of them, but in the end, she made up her mind. The point came to a stop in front of Fergus. "I think I'll kill you first. You were the one who prevented me from being ruler long before this ever happened," she said with a hiss, about to fire the arrow.
Suddenly, a flash of bright light caught 'Merida''s attention, turning her gaze over to the light's origin, which was at the far end of the castle's entrance. "What in the world is that?" With a mighty leap, Fergus slammed into 'Merida' and pinned her under his mighty body while Elinor looked out the window at the strange light.
((Music stops))
When the flash of light disappeared, Merida, Sonic, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Tails, Knuckles, and Silver appeared in its place. "Wow, this place sure is trashed," Knuckles commented on the appearance of DunBroch's villages and the place as a whole. All around them were destroyed and smashed buildings in the villages, while the landscape had craters spread out all over the land.
Merida looked at all the devastation and destruction Mercilla's little plan had caused to happen to her once beautiful-looking kingdom, getting enraged. "Oh she is going to pay for this." As she turned her gaze over to the castle, she saw what appeared to be almost the whole kingdom's villagers surrounding the structure, trying to bash down the wooden door. While that was going on, boulders launched from catapults smashed into the walls, which were already straining to hold the massive building. Once she turned back to her allies, she said as she directed their attention to the mob of villagers. "Come on, we've got to stop them before they get to my parents!" Merida and Sonic led the group as they ran to the castle as fast as they could.
Due to the short distance from their position to the castle, their run didn't take long. Unfortunately, they couldn't get too close, since Merida could possibly be put in danger due to the mob's anger towards the royal family, but they were close enough so that the villagers could possibly hear their shouts. "Shout as loud as you can. The castle looks like it'll collapse if it takes any more hits," Merida commanded. She cupped both her hands to her cheeks and shouted "Stop fighting! Stop now!" as loud as she could.
Despite her shout, the villagers couldn't hear it over the sounds they themselves made, grunting as they tried to break down the wall, added with their slamming impacts they made as they hit the door.
"Shout with me, hurry!" Merida told the others. Sonic and the others began to shout 'Stop!' alongside Merida, but not even that could get the villagers' attentions.
"Allow me," Omega said as he walked forward, standing in front of the small group. As he raised both of his arms in an upward position, his hands retracted inside, causing his turret gun barrels to emerge. Then he began the firing. Hundreds and hundreds of lead-filled bullets streamed up into the air, creating a powerfully loud sound. Merida and the others covered their ears as Omega continued his song of destruction. After a few seconds of this, the villagers stopped what they were doing and turned to the source of the strange sound. As soon as he saw everyone's attention was on him, he lowered his arms and brought his hands back. He began walking back to Shadow and Rouge's side.
"Thank you," Merida said as she took her hands off her ears when Omega walked by her. Her focus then shifted to the villagers that were now staring at her with hate-filled eyes. "You all have been fooled by an evil witch named Mercilla. She has the ability to change form and use other forms of magic, and using her changing ability, she has taken my form and is using it to usurp the rule of my parents and your lords. Her plan is to kill my parents and your lords by making you all fight one another so that when the rulers of DunBroch are dead, she can be your new ruler."
What Merida said caused the villagers to discuss this possibility amongst each other, but suddenly, a loud shout came from Merida's room. "NOOO!"
Inside the room, 'Merida' quickly squirmed around underneath King Fergus' enormous body, trying her best to get out. Unable to get out in the form she was currently in, she quickly morphed into a snake, slithering out from under Fergus' bulk, before quickly morphing into a human-sized bat. Using her massive wings, she quickly flew out the window just as Fergus got back up. Mercilla's gaze fell upon Merida, causing her to hiss in anger. "You stupid little twit! I was so close, but then you had to show your face around here again, but I'm gonna make sure you never come back." Like a predatory bird, she swooped down from the sky and made a beeline to the princess. Back inside, Fergus and Elinor quickly ran downstairs, taking the Triplets with them. In Elinor's hands was the arrow case that Mercilla had from before. She was carrying it just in case Merida had ran out of arrows wherever she had been before all this.
((Youtube: watch?v=5fQyhLMJGp4 starts playing))
Merida quickly dropped to the ground and rolled out of the way, as did Sonic and the others when Mercilla flew by overhead. Mercilla made a turn around and flew at Merida once again, this time snagging the arrow case on her back. As she felt herself being lifted off the ground, she tried to get out of the arrow case's straps, but she was too far off the ground. As she looked up at Mercilla, she saw the bat looking back at her with her pupil-less eyes. "I'm going to make you wish you never had the idea to return here," Mercilla screeched. As Merida turned to look back on the ground, which was getting farther away by the minute, she saw Sonic running after them, bringing a smile to her face.
((Music stops))
((Youtube: watch?v=6_Z_vbcMR8s starts playing))
"I don't think so Mercilla," Sonic shouted. The bat was close enough for Sonic to make a high jump and perform a Homing Attack on. As the blue hedgehog slammed into Mercilla, it caused her to drop Merida.
"No!" shouted Mercilla as Sonic slammed into her. The attack had caused Mercilla to be forced into a downwards position, and she was rapidly heading towards the forest. She managed to right herself, barely flying over the tops of the trees, and headed deep into the forest.
Sonic drifted down to Merida and caught her before they landed on the ground.
((Music stops))
Sonic gently let Merida back onto the ground. She smiled at him and said: "Thank you. Didn't expect you to catch me before we hit the ground."
"Hey, I couldn't let my friend go splat," Sonic said with a smile.
"I would hope not," she said with a smile. She walked over to where her arrow case had fallen and picked it up. "I'm going after Mercilla." With that, she began running to the forest, Sonic following her. When she caught sight of him following her, she turned around, facing him. "No, this is my fight. I want to fight her. She almost got my parents killed and turned my kingdom, my home, into a devastated land."
Sonic nodded understandingly before walking out of the forest. As he got to his friends, he saw the villagers coming over to them. Among them were Merida's parents.
"Merida, wait!" Elinor shouted out, seeing her daughter head into the forest. The teenage princess stopped and turned around, seeing her family standing there. With an eager smile she ran over to them and gave them a big hug. "I missed you all," Merida said, happy to finally see them again.
"Where were you while this was going on?" Fergus asked as he looked at his daughter with worry and concern.
Elinor then noticed Sonic and his friends standing there with them. "And who are they?"
"It's a long story, but I'll have to tell it later," Merida said as she started to head back into the forest.
"Merida," Elinor called out, causing her to stop and head back over once again.
"What is it mom?"
"You're going to need this," Elinor said, handing Merida the arrow case she had been carrying. Merida put her old case, which had the strap broken from when Mercilla snatched her up, and put it on the ground before taking the new case. "Thanks mom," she said, surprised that her mom would do something like this. She then looked at her mom, confused by her actions. "Why are you allowing me to do this?"
"Because you need to do this." She hugged her daughter and smiled. "Now go get that witch."
Merida smiled back and nodded. "I will, you can count on that." After the hug, she ran into the forest, ready to take down the witch that had both tricked and deceived her.
Just then, Macintosh, Dingwall and MacGuffin made their way to where Fergus and Elinor were, hoping they weren't too mad about what they had tried to do. "Um, we're sorry fer trying to kill you," MacGuffin said, his head hung down in shame.
"It's alright you three. You didn't know Merida wasn't really Merida," Fergus said, putting his hand on the lord's shoulder.
Macintosh saw Sonic and the others, puzzled by what they were. "What's with the weird-looking animals?"
Fergus and Elinor both shrugged their shoulders. "We have no idea," Elinor said.
"We're from the futu–" but before Sonic could continue his explanation of who and what they were, another white light flashed in the sky, causing everyone's gaze to be focused on that. Once the light faded, in its place was a large red and black airship.
"Oh no," Sonic said, knowing exactly who that ship belonged to.
((Youtube: watch?v=gB_eXzRpfts starts to play))
The Egg Carrier's underside opened, spilling tons and tons of numerous robots, all which were a part of the Eggman Empire. The robots landed right in front of the castle, quickly turning to the startled and confused villagers that watched the beings fall from the sky.
While the villagers tried to figure out what the thing floating in the sky was, along with what those metallic beings in front of the castle were, a loud, booming laughter echoed out of the Egg Carrier's speakers, spreading through the land. "Oh ho ho ho ho ho," laughed Dr. Eggman as the bottom bay doors closed.
((Music stops))
Hearing the sound to be familiar, a little boy pointed at the large ship, getting his mother's attention. "Mommy, it's Santa Claus."
Once Eggman heard that remark, he quickly grabbed the intercom mic and yelled into it. "I ain't Santa Claus, kid!"
"Then who are you?" Fergus asked.
"Who am I?" Eggman asked rhetorically before laughing evilly. "I'll tell you who I am." Suddenly, music started coming out of the speakers, causing Sonic to facepalm himself and mutter: "Oh brother," before Eggman started singing.
((Youtube: watch?v=_1UUjVybkSk starts playing))
The story begins with who's gonna win
Knowin' the danger that lies within
Aboard this ship is a genius at heart
Wanting to unlock the mysteries of life.
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, I got the master plan
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, with the master plan.
I'm plotting my schemes wherever I go
They're perfect in every way
I'd love to destroy the blue one you know
He's an obstacle that always gets in my way.
I must play this game by my rules
I will conquer the world with my tools
All my machines are made for destruction
I will build my empire
I will succeed and you will see
With my machines there is no retreat!
(Eggman starts laughing evilly while Sonic, still covering his face, shakes his head in embarrassment, sad he even knows this guy)
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, I got the master plan
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, I got the master plan
(The villagers listen to this song in stunned silence)
I am the enemy, I will succeed
My mission, yeah, I must complete
My name is Eggman, don't forget the name
If you ask me again, I'll tell you the same.
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, I got the master plan
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, I got the master-master plan
I am the Eggman!
((Music stops))
After a few seconds, many of the villagers started laughing, mainly because of how silly and ridiculous the name Eggman was to them. "What kind of name is Eggman?" asked one man as he laughed. "I bet he's round like an egg too," replied a woman. As Sonic listened and watched all the laughter, he knew that Eggman wouldn't be too thrilled about this, so he quickly got prepared for battle, just as his friends did the same thing.
"STOP LAUGHING AT MY NAME!" Eggman shouted angrily, slamming his fists against the console repeatedly, which could be heard through the speakers. The sound of his pounding almost immediately caused the villagers to cease laughing. "Attack, my army of machines! Show them what happens to people who insult my glorious name with laughter."
The vast arm of robots' eyes began to glow an evil shade of blue before they began their advance onto the people of DunBroch.
Shadow turned to the three lords and the king. "Rally your people into action because we'll need all the help we can get if you want to save both your kingdom and the people who live in it."
Listening to the black hedgehog, the three lords nodded and faced their people. "Villagers of DunBroch! Lets show these things what happens when invaders try to take over our land!" shouted Macintosh, raising his spear high into the air. The villagers gave a strong and fearful war cry and turned to face the oncoming army of machines.
"Why do you get to rally the people?" asked Dingwall.
"Because I'm the most suited," Macintosh replied.
This caused the two lords to start bickering about which one was the most suited to give the cry, all the while, the enemy advanced closer. Shadow, Fergus and MacGuffin all exchanged annoyed looks with one another before finally Shadow had had enough. "Quiet!" he shouted, getting the lords' attentions. "Who cares about who's the best suited, just lead them into battle!"
Under normal circumstances, Macintosh and Dingwall would have simply told Shadow to butt out and to mind his own business, but the angered and determined look in the black hedgehog's red eyes made them reconsider what they were going to say. They nodded quickly and made their way to the front of the villagers. MacGuffin, Shadow, Silver, Knuckles, Omega, Tails, and Rouge followed them. "Nice job, you actually managed to get them to stop arguing without having to use violence. You aren't that bad of a leader... for a hedgehog," MacGuffin commented.
"Eh, I'm just used to ordering people around. I don't tolerate anyone disobeying an order... unless it's for the good of the team," Shadow replied.
Fergus led his wife, children, and all the women and children in Highlandera over to a nice and safe area where they wouldn't be hurt. Sonic had accompanied him and was helping calm the nervous women. "I've got to go fight for our land now," Fergus said, giving his wife a hug. "I don't know if I'll make it back, but if I don't, never forget that I love you, and never would stop for anything in the world."
Elinor smiled at this and hugged her husband tightly. "Make it back alive. No matter what."
"Um, I'm sorry to interrupt this moment but... I don't think you're in a condition to go battle," Sonic said, causing both Fergus and Elinor to look at him.
Fergus was somewhat offended by this comment, thinking that Sonic meant to say that he was too old and weak to fight. "And what makes you think that blue hedgehog?" he asked in a gruff voice.
"Well, you have one leg and a peg for the other. I'm just worried you might not be able to handle fighting those things off. I've fought Eggman and his robots before and even though the look slow and heavy, they can be fast. I'm not trying to offend you or anything, I just want to make sure you'll be alright and everything." Sonic found this conversation to become increasingly awkward for some reason.
"Oh... well, no offense taken, but I think I can handle those things," Fergus replied with a smile, charging out with his sword drawn.
"Um... alright then," Sonic replied, quickly dashed off to join the battle with speed that surprised Elinor and everyone around them.
"He's a fast little critter ain't he?" Elinor commented, in which everyone nodded in agreement.
Back in the Egg Carrier, Eggman watched as the fight between DunBroch's warriors and his magnificent machines began, but as he was just about to sit back and relax, he saw something that he knew would instantly spell defeat for him: Sonic. The blue pest was running straight for the battlefield. "Oh no you don't Sonic!" he shouted loudly over the ship's speakers.
The sound of Sonic's name made his screech to a halt and looked up at the Egg Carrier. "What's that Egg-head up to?" He quickly changed direction and ran away from the battlefield and over to where the Egg Carrier hovered overhead. The massive airship had moved over to the castle, floating over a clear strip of land that wasn't too far from the castle itself.
Fergus watched as Sonic changed directions as he fought off some Egg Pawns. "What's he doing?" That was when he saw the bottom of the airship open back up, releasing a large, metallic object. "What on earth is that thing?"
((Youtube: watch?v=UKY8eHTDCxY starts playing))
Sonic watched as the large object fell towards him, but the hedgehog stood his ground. As the object got closer and closer to the ground, jet flames shot out from under its feet, slowing its descent. Once the robot landed, it instantly made a charge at Sonic, causing the nimble hedgehog to leap out of its way. As he turned to look at the robot, there it stood.
Its body resembled that of a theropod dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex to be exact. The flank of its body was a red color while its underbelly was gray. On each side of it's predatory head was the Eggman logo. Despite the arms of a regular T-Rex to be short and stubby, the arms on the robot were long and muscular, it's legs also looking muscular. Lining the inside of its mouth were sharp, metallic teeth. Its long tail slammed against the ground in a rhythmic pattern. Located on the front of the creature's forehead, just above it's yellow optics, was a cockpit dome, with non-other than Eggman sitting inside.
((Music stops))
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho," the evil genius began to laugh. "How do you like my newest creation, the Eggasaurus Rex, Sonic?"
"Looks somewhat impressive. It's a shame that I have to trash such a beaut," Sonic said sarcastically, a cocky smirk on his face.
"You won't be doing that this time, I–" but as Eggman started to continue talking, Sonic joined along, saying what Eggman was saying and matching it up perfectly as to how and when he said it. "am going to defeat you once and for all."
"I've heard it a million times already. Seriously, you need to come up with some new thing to say. Or a catchphrase," Sonic continued.
Eggman growled in annoyance, pressing an orange button on the console. It was time to squash an annoying little hedgehog once and for all. The robot's right hand retracted inside its wrist and a rope-tethered wrecking ball emerged. "Prepare to taste defeat."
Sonic smirked and got into a battle stance. "Let's dance."
End of Chapter 9
A/C: Yes, I just made Eggman sing his own theme XD It would be awesome if somewhere in the Sonic universe, Eggman had a chance to sing. In the next chapter, the villagers and heroes continue their battle against Eggman's army while Merida and Sonic deal to their own personal conflict. Stay tuned for more :)
