Chapter 10: Taking down the snake
Sonic was watching the drill in fear as it slowly advanced toward his neck. Although, he was terrified, he refused to show his fear to the enemy.
'Looks like this is it. Aw man, I can't believe I'm saying this so soon if I'm not so sure yet, but, Amy, I think I might l-' but the hedgehog never finished his thoughts, when suddenly a rock hit the side of Egg Snake's head, causing it to let go of it's grip around Sonic's legs.
"What!? Who threw that!?" Bokkun questioned angrily.
"I did!" answered a voice.
Both Sonic and Bokkun faced the direction of the voice and found the source. The source of the voice was none other than Miles Prower, also known as Tails.
"Leave Sonic alone, you over grown chihuahua!" Tails cried.
"Hey, my ears aren't that big!" Bokkun cried.
"Sure, pipsqueak." Tails scoffed.
"That's it! Egg Snake, forget about Sonic, focus on the annoying brat for now!" Bokkun snapped.
Receiving it's order, Egg Snake started to advance on Tails. Tails fearfully backed away until his back hit something solid. Giving a quick glance behind his back, to his horror, he was against a solid rocky wall. Egg Snake opened it's tails to reveal the same deadly drill. Tails could only think of one last thing to do.
"SONIC! HELP!" he cried.
"HANG ON BUDDY!" Sonic responded.
Just as Egg Snake was about to move it's tail toward the boy's face, it's tail was sliced in half by a blue blur, it was Sonic! He was spin dashing through the tail until it was history. Once the tail fell to the ground, Tails was quickly grabbed by the arm by a gloved hand. Knowing who it belonged to, he smiled in relief.
"Thanks, Sonic, you saved my life back there." he thanked.
"No problem, buddy. You saved my life too, if it weren't for you throwing that rock at the over grown robot Snake's head, I would've been hedgehog liver right now." Sonic confessed.
But suddenly Tails' smile faded as he started to shake slightly.
"S-Sonic" he began."look behind you."
Turning around, Sonic was met with a shocking sight. A few feet behind him, Egg Snake opened up it's metallic chest, where another snake head sprouted out. But this snake had a red deadly drill for a tongue which made it look even more terrifying. Tails was shaking in fear, but Sonic wasn't. He had a look of disgust on his face.
"Ugh! Now that's messed up shit! A head growing out of your chest, disturbing! I think I should call you Two Headed Betty for now on, heh heh." he criticized yet joked.
"Sonic, now's not the time for one of jokes! I think we should worry about dealing with this guy, first, he's a threat!" Tails warned.
"Alright, then, you stay here while I take care of Two Headed Betty over there." Sonic ordered.
Tails nodded in reply. Now, that everything was dealt with the two, Sonic leaped towards Egg Snake. But Egg Snake's new head, head butted him in the gut. Sonic gasped loudly as all the wind left him for just a moment, but when it came back, he coughed a little and charged up his spin dash. But, as he did so, he suddenly felt the urge to jump in the sky. Deciding to follow this feeling, Sonic stopped his spin dash and jumped in the air. But, as he did so, he focused his attention all on Egg Snake. The urge to jump in the air was now an urge to home himself right into the menacing machine. But that was a crazy idea to the hedgehog, right? Not for him, right now, he had to get rid of this robot and quick! Following the feeling, Sonic shot down towards Egg Snake like a missile. Once he did so, the impact caused Egg Snake to crash on the ground hard, and sending Sonic flying in the air, but, he safely landed. He, Tails, and even Bokkun stared in shock and disbelief.
"Whoa, what did I just do?" he questioned.
"Sonic, what was that?" Tails questioned.
The hedgehog shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly, buddy, I don't know. Maybe some kinda new attack?" he answered yet suggested.
"Egg Snake, get back up!" Bokkun cried.
Egg Snake feebly stood back up. He was battered and bruised all over from that hard impact, and to make matters worse, it's second head was hanging from it's chest, it looked like if it was prodded by the lightest touch, it would fall off immediately. Egg Snake slowly started to fall apart. Once, it was nothing more then a pile of scraps, Sonic burst into a fit of laughter along with Tails who also joined in.
"Hahaha, looks like the doc needs to get his toys modified!" boasted Sonic, who was now on the ground.
"I agree, but, that was a close call, Sonic." agreed Tails.
Bokkun stood there gobsmacked of how an incredibly strong robot fell apart from a hedgehog who was only 3 ft tall. Once he came back to reality, he decided it was time to jet.
"You haven't heard the last of me! Just wait until Dr. Eggman's secret weapon gets ya and takes over the world, you'll be sorry!" Bokkun claimed as he took off in the skies.
"Should we follow him?" Tails questioned.
"Nah, let him be. I'm sure whatever this secret weapon is, will be nothing more than a piece of cake." Sonic answered.
"If you say so." Tails responded skeptically.
"Hey, no sweat, bro. It's just like you said earlier, I'll stop Eggman once and for all someday." Sonic assured.
Tails smiled at that fact. He knew that he could trust Sonic, considering that whenever Sonic was determined he could accomplish anything. But, still, he had suspicions of this so called secret weapon.
"By the way, Sonic. What was that move you did back there?" Tails questioned.
"Eh, I really don't know. It just came to me. But I think, I'll name that one the Homing Attack." Sonic confessed.
"Okay, sounds reasonable." Tails replied.
"Come on, I think we had enough of this place for one day. I'm dying to have a chili dog right now." Sonic suggested.
"Yeah, I'm with you on that. Lets go." Tails agreed.
The hedgehog quickly scooped up the little boy and took off heading home.
Meanwhile with Dr. Eggman...
"HE WHAT!?" Dr. Eggman cried.
"H-he took out Egg Snake, sir." Bokkun confessed.
Ever since Bokkun got back to the base, he delivered the news of what has become of Egg Snake. Once, Dr. Eggman heard what happened, he was not please, in fact, he was furious.
"Grr, that stupid hedgehog destroyed one of my best robots!" he cried.
"What do we do now?" Bokkun questioned.
"Well, we'll see about that, now won't we?" the doctor answered.
He then picked up a walkie talkie and spoke into it.
"Snivley, is phase one of the plan ready?" Dr. Eggman questioned.
A voice responded.
"Yes sir, the animals are in their cages secured." it spoke.
"And the emeralds?" Dr. Eggman questioned.
"Working on it sir. Right now, we have four emeralds, only, three more to go. And as for the Master Emerald, two of our drones are bringing it back to base right now." the voice spoke again.
"Excellent." Dr. Eggman said as he cut off the walkie talkie and turned to Bokkun.
"Bokkun, leave." he ordered.
"Yes, doctor." Bokkun replied and flew out the room.
"Soon" he began "very soon, hedgehog."
So what's gonna happen next? And why does Dr. Eggman need animals? Stick around and find out! And sorry it took so long to post this chapter, please R & R!
