Finally the last of these meetings, and it'll probably be almost twice the length of an average one. Since it's the last one, I thought, sure, why not.
MCoME #10
Somewhere in the area of…well, you get the point…
Inside the meeting room, everyone had already gathered there and sat in their assigned seats, except Metared, which happens most of the time. Everyone was in silence for about 30 seconds, before Mecha Sonic finally said, "So, our last meeting, huh? It feels like time just flew by."
"Yeah." Metal Sonic nodded. "As much as I hate to admit it, I might miss these…only because I haven't got much else to do these days."
"I agree." Metal Knuckles replied. "Not about the free time thing, I mean about missing these meetings. I mean, they were always fun, I only come here because I like seeing you guys and the random comments which happen occasionally…oh, and the plans too, I guess."
*Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep, beep beep beep beep* Egg Pawn sighed.
"I too, agree." ED-MF1999 placed a hand on his shoulder. "You never appreciate something until it's gone, or it's going to go soon enough."
"Yes." Tails Doll began. "At first I didn't think much of you guys, but now I've come to think of you all as close friends or fellow associates."
"What Tails Doll said." Eggrobo added. "I really didn't feel like saying much to you guys at first, but I enjoyed myself as these meetings went on, and me and Egg Pawn even have random shootouts for fun now." Eggrobo gave Egg Pawn a thumbs up while Egg Pawn did the same.
Mecha Sonic sighed. "Yeah, I guess we're all gonna miss these childish meetings quite a bit…"
Just then, Metared entered the room with the camera focusing on him from a low angle as he calmly said, "Hey gentlemen." He walked over to the table and sat down then took out a clipboard. "Well, today is the last meeting, it seems. We had a good run, regardless of the random conflict during those times."
"Indeed we did, Meta." Metal Sonic nodded briefly. "Indeed we did."
"Yeah, well I guess I'd better do my usual routine…" Metared cleared his throat. "Now, welcome to the tenth, and last annual Metallic Council of Maniacal Evil week meetings...of doom! You already know me as Metared, and we're here for one reason, to take down Sonic the Hedgehog and kill him, because it's what we try to do. Now for the robot roll call! Metal Sonic!"
Metal Sonic who was sitting to the right of him, raised his hand and said, "I just want you all to know that even though I may hate you, I can tolerate you all a lot too."
"Mecha Sonic from Sonic and Knuckles!"
"I guess that means you consider us friends, and if we have another meeting, I'll be there, because I always am." He replied as he sat in the chair to Metared's left.
"Tails Doll!"
Tails Doll who sat right next to Metal Sonic, raised his hand and the red dot on his antenna flashed. "I, to, feel the same as Metal Sonic."
"Metal Knuckles!"
Metal Knuckles sat next to Tails Doll just shrugged as he said, "Yeah, you guys are my homies, my amigos, my crew, and any other word related to friendship."
"Eggrobo!"
Eggrobo sat on the last seat in Metal Sonic's row next to Metal Knuckles; he raised his gun and fired in midair. "All this talk of friendship is gonna make me sick…but I agree."
"Egg Pawn #37 from Sonic Heroes!"
The Egg Pawn sat next to Mecha Sonic and made a few beeping noises.
"Egg Fighter, also known as ED-MF1999 from Sonic Unleashed."
"Even though you guys boss me around quite a bit, I don't hold any grudges, and I enjoy the time I spend with you all."
"And today's special guest is…um, SA2, who is an elite ninja wearing a typical black ninja outfit with the Sonic Adventure 2 logo on his chest." SA2 nodded back at him.
Metal Sonic turned to him. "So who are you, exactly?"
SA2 sat up. "I'm the guy who writes this crap, who the hell are you?"
"I'm the guy who comes to these meetings and tries to defeat Sonic occasionally."
"Nice to meet you." SA2 said before shaking his hand.
"Ditto." Metal Sonic replied.
Metal Knuckles looked in Metared's direction moments later. "Hey, so Metared, are we going to start the meeting and share ideas now?"
Metared shook his head. "Nah, I'm just not feeling it today, besides, last week's idea didn't go so well either. Tails blew up the rocket before we even attempted to catch Sonic. I swear, it's like he's stalking us now."
"Well considering he has been a target of a few plans, it makes sense that he'd strike immediately now." Eggrobo replied.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Instead of devising a plan, let's discuss some previous events instead."
"They're not gonna be flashback related, are they?" SA2 asked.
"Most likely."
"That sucks…"
"Hey!" ED-MF1999 randomly yelled. "Remember that snowboarding trip we had?"
"I don't recall writing that…" SA2 responded.
"Well apparently it happened."
---
Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Tails Doll, Metal Knuckles and ED-MF1999 were on top of a hill by a two-story cavern with orange snowboards which had the Eggman's face on them. Metal Knuckles glanced around the area before saying, "Hey, where's Egg Pawn and Eggrobo?"
"Egg Pawn is apparently tired." ED-MF1999 began. "And Eggrobo just didn't feel like taking part in this."
Mecha Sonic shrugged as he picked up his snowboard and headed to the edge of the cliff. "Oh well, more fun for us."
"Last one to the bottom shall be grinded into sausages!" Tails Doll exclaimed.
"Well then, let's do it." Metal Sonic said before taking off, with the others taking off shortly after. They travelled down the slippery slope at extreme speeds, avoiding trees and a few mousses which seemed to randomly appear out of nowhere. Tails Doll hit a ramp as Metal Knuckles slowly approached him and landed further ahead. Mecha Sonic managed to trip up Metal Sonic who rolled down the hill for a few seconds before grabbing Mecha Sonic by his right arm. They both rolled down the hill, forming a massive snowball around them as they did so which gained speed at a rapid rate.
ED-MF1999 turned around in time to see it before getting caught in the giant snowball. Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles also got hit by the massive snowball shortly afterwards, then they reached the bottom of the hill several moments later and hit a grizzly bear who was reading a newspaper and were finally stopped by a tree.
---
ED-MF1999 put a hand to his chin as he nodded a few times. "Good times…except that I got mauled by that bear shortly after…"
"Everything's worse with bears." SA2 nodded.
"Ain't that the truth..."
"Yet again, why wasn't I there?" Metared asked.
"You weren't part of the main group." Eggrobo replied.
"I see, well, any more memories you wish to share?"
Mecha Sonic suddenly clicked his fingers. "Hey, Metal Sonic, remember that time we did the knife fight thing in a hospital waiting room?"
"Oh yeah…"
---
Metal Sonic and Mecha Sonic were sitting in a half full hospital waiting room with around 20 other people waiting in the brightly lit beige room. Metal Sonic had headphones on and was listening to the song Knife Fight by Lemon Demon as he noticed Mecha Sonic staring at him several times from further away.
Metal Sonic eventually stood up and randomly said, "I'm tired of your mind games! I'm sick of playing don't wake daddy, good sir! No more rock, paper, scissors for me!"
Mecha Sonic held his hand out as he stood up. "But wait! Are we not civilized gentlemen here?!"
Metal Sonic ignored him and instead took out a sharp knife. "I challenge you to a battle of knifes!" he then charged at Mecha Sonic who also took out a knife before Metal started slashing at him, missing Mecha repeatedly as he jumped back. Mecha then attacked back, with Metal blocking his attacks while others around chanted, "Yeah, Knife fight!"
Metal deflected one slash and aimed for his leg which he missed before Mecha struck back with two slashes which Metal dodged before jumping back. They both then watched the other closely as they slowly moved in a circle.
Metal rubbed his nose before saying, "Let me tell you something, I can't be beat."
"Oh yeah?" Mecha raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, cause I'm the king of the streets."
"Well guess what, man, I'll pin you to the wall."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, your knife is way too small."
Metal clutched his fist. "Hey! My knife is super sharp and that's what counts! I'm gonna make you spill copious amounts!"
"Yeah well I'll be sure to thank you right after I shank you."
Metal sighed and walked off. "Screw this, I'm outta here." He said before leaving.
Mecha stood in silence for a few moments before taking his seat again.
---
"I still don't know why you left." Mecha Sonic said.
"I just felt like it, that's all." Metal Sonic replied.
"So there are no more flashbacks, right?" SA2 asked.
"I still need one." Tails Doll said. "Because I haven't said much at this meeting today. Anyone remember the time when I entered that street fighting match and the impotent fool was offering 1000 rings for however could defeat him? Sadly for him, I was in the neighbourhood, but lucky for him, I didn't feel like killing him."
---
In the middle of a field were dozens of people crowded around one area. Tails Doll floated across the park and towards the area due to all the commotion. There he saw two fighters in the centre of the crowd. One was a red hedgehog who stood over the other fighter who was a grey humanoid robot. The red hedgehog noticed Tails Doll straight away and pointed at him. "You! I shall challenge you to a fight!"
Tails Doll made his way through the crowd and stopped several feet away while the robot walked off.
"Okay, let's get started, man." The hedgehog said before getting into a fighting stance.
"Don't underestimate me. I am Tails Doll; therefore you don't know the meaning of pain until you've faced me."
The hedgehog sped towards him and hit him with three kicks, knocking him back before charging at him again. He attacked with a punch which Tails Doll blocked before chuckling. The red dot on his antenna then lit up a second before he said; "Now it's my turn." The place suddenly faded into darkness as sun symbols suddenly appeared and Tails Doll did a typical fighting stance as he said, "Feel the sunshine." It suddenly went dark apart from dozens of multi-coloured bright flashes of light appearing as the hedgehog let out an agonizing cry of pain for a few moments.
When Tails Doll had finished his attack, he now stood with his back to the unconscious body and with a dark red sun symbol on his back as he softly said, "Can you feel it now?" The people watching were shocked and amazed as Tails Doll calmly strolled off and went about his business.
---
"The sunshine is a powerful force not to be reckoned with."
"I doubt it." Metal Knuckles replied.
Metared suddenly looked at a wristwatch he was wearing. "Well, we'd better be ending this last meeting at some point soon."
"I can't believe it's nearly over already." ED-MF1999 said with a sigh. "Come on, guys, let's have a big hug!"
All the others disagreed while Tails Doll replied with, "Hug me and die!"
SA2 stroked his chin. "You know, I was thinking about doing something else with this, to be honest. I've been considering it for a little while."
"And what would this be?" Metared asked.
"Probably a continuation of this, but instead of just holding meetings, you actually go and put one of your plans into action and see how it works out and you plan all details ahead of time."
"So why don't you do it then?"
"Because I'm personally not good enough to do it."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, my spelling and vocabulary is okay, I guess. Comedy and action are really the things I do, but I really can't do prose."
"Is it purple prose?" Metal Knuckles asked.
SA2 shrugged. "Sure, why not."
Metared stroked his chin. "So this continuation idea you have, would it be good?"
"Well, I can come up with some pretty crazy plots at times…"
"I see…"
"You see well…"
"So was there really a point to this meeting?" Mecha Sonic asked. "It doesn't really seem like it, besides this being the last one."
"Well yeah, that's pretty much it, just recalling old memories and constantly pointing out that this is the last one." Metared replied.
"So should we try to make this memorable somehow?" Metal Sonic responded.
"How so?"
"I'm not sure, I was wondering if someone else has an idea."
"It most likely can't be done." Eggrobo said as he reloaded his pistol. "Because we have no more ideas for this meeting…I think."
"Actually, you're right." SA2 replied.
"Oh, cool."
"So SA2," Mecha Sonic began. "What do you do outside of this meeting?"
"I'm an elite ninja who kicks ass and takes names, and I get by using the rule of cool."
"How does that work?"
"Ever skated across lava? You ever swam in toxic waste? Have you ever eaten steel for breakfast? Have you ever jumped over a shark, only using a Speedo?"
"But how do you ride a Speedo?"
"Exactly." SA2 nodded. "With the rule of cool almost anything is possible."
Suddenly, Eggrobo's mobile rang which played Eggman's theme from Sonic Adventure 2 moments before he picked it up. "Hello?...oh, hey man, what's up?...There's gonna be a party later?...Alright, cool, I'll see you later." He said before hanging up. "So there's some party at Silver Sonic's house later, and all those other guys are invited."
"Which guys?" ED-MF1999 asked.
"Those other guys."
"Oh, okay."
Metal Sonic crossed his arms. "I'm sure you guys are all going, so Metared, are you coming also?"
"Is that an invitation?"
"Maybe so."
"Sure, why not. There'll most likely be cake anyway, which is also good."
Before anyone else could say anything, Tails Doll quickly said, "If anyone makes a Portal reference that foolish individual will suffer a fate worse than death!"
"So when's the party starting, Eggrobo?" Metal Knuckles asked.
"In about an hour."
"So shouldn't we get going?"
"Yes, lets." Metared replied as he stood up.
"I'll make my own way out." SA2 said before jumping through a conveniently placed nearby window, and landing on a tyrannosaurus rex before quickly speeding off down the streets, knocking several cars in his path out of the way.
"The rule of cool is a wonderful thing…" Metal Knuckles said as he watched in amazement.
"Indeed." Metared said.
The others left the room shortly after, one by one until the only one left in the room was Metared. He then put out the torches before walking out the room and closing the door behind him.
