Super Smash Bros:
Return of the Subspace Emissary
Chapter 14: Enter Sonic
In a lush green field, a group of people were having a barbeque. Well, they weren't people to be precise. They were animals that acted like humans, they were anthropomorphic. There were five of them, a blue hedgehog, an orange fox with two tails, a red echidna, a pink hedgehog and a yellow rabbit. They were Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose and Cream the Rabbit!
It had been 3 months since their arch-enemy, Dr. Eggman, had attacked and had decided to relax by going somewhere quiet and having a BBQ. Sonic was reluctant to go when he realized Amy was going but got dragged along when she got her hammer out. Right now, the blue hog was lying on the grass, Knuckles and Amy were preparing the food, Tails was tinkering with something and Cream was picking flowers with her pet Chao, Cheese.
Tails was the first to break the silence. "It sure is nice that Eggman hasn't been bothering us" he said. "Yeah, now we can relax for once" Knuckles answered. "And we couldn't have picked a more perfect day" Amy stated, "It's sunny, not a cloud in the sky and far away from all the noise. It's almost romantic, isn't it Sonic?" But Sonic had fallen asleep and hadn't heard. Amy began to get irritated until Cream came running towards them. "Cream, what's up?" asked Tails. Cream looked a bit down in the dumps. "I hate to say it, but it looks like the barbecue's going to have to wait. I saw some weird looking robots and I think they're Eggman's". This got Amy really annoyed now. "He picked the worst timing" she growled, pulling her hammer out. Knuckles got himself into a fighting position. "Where are they?" he asked. Cream turned and saw the robots in question getting closer. "There they are" she said. Tails looked at them closer. "They do look weird" he said. Sonic, having just woken up, stood up and looked in the direction everyone else was looking at. "What's up?" he asked. Tails turned to him. "Eggman's new robots have arrived" he told him. "Well, let's have a…" Sonic began until he saw the robots. He turned back to the others and said, in a quiet tone "Guys, get somewhere safe. I'll handle them". Amy looked at Sonic as if he were mad, "Sonic, they're just robots". "I'll say it again, GET SOMEWHERE SAFE!" Sonic yelled. The others were shocked. Sonic rarely got serious. They decided not to argue and retreated.
Sonic turned back to the 'robots' and cried "Bring it on you freaks!" The 'robots' charged at him, but he was much faster and jumped over their heads. Behind them, he began spinning on the spot before spinning into them, knocking them down like bowling pins. Meanwhile, Tails and the others saw the 'robots' dissolve into purple spores. Surprised, they were drawn to the conclusion that these weren't robots.
Back in the fight, a much larger 'robot' had arrived and was attempting to punch Sonic into the ground. But Sonic continued to back off. Deciding to end it quickly, he jumped in the air, kicked the 'robot' in the head, causing it to fall over and Sonic brought his foot down, slicing through it.
After the purple spores had cleared up, the others came back. "Sonic, what were those?" a worried Tails asked. "Primids" Sonic said simply (wow, alliteration). "That's correct, hedgehog" another voice said, one that Sonic dreaded. Looking up he saw his arch-enemy, Eggman, in his Eggmobile.
"What are the Primids?" Cream asked. "Creatures from the realm of Subspace" the doctor explained, "They tried to tear the world apart and drag it into Subspace. But a group known as the Super Smash Bros, which are blue friend here was part of, defeated their leader and wiped them out, 3 months ago" he finished saying. "That's the same time you stopped attacking" Tails exclaimed. "Exactly. Upon learning about them, I began doing some research and came across the blueprints of these" Eggman said, menacingly, as he pressed a button. At the front of his mobile, a gap opened and something black with purple lines on the side. "It's called a Dark Cannon. Let me demonstrate how it works" he said, as the cannon began to charge up.
It fired a black arrow at Sonic, but he easily dodged it by stepping to the side. "You need to work on your aim" Sonic said, with that familiar smile on his face. Eggman became frustrated and started firing shot after shot but Sonic was running rings around him. He then jumped up, landing on top of Eggman's head, blocking his view. "I can't see, you speedy rodent!" the doctor yelled, while trying to shake Sonic off. In the confusion, Eggman pressed a button and another black arrow was shot out of the cannon, heading straight for Amy. She was caught off guard, too busy watching the scuffle and couldn't move in time. She shut her eyes and prepared for the worse.
There was a flash of light and, nothing. Amy opened her eyes and realized nothing happened. Tails, Knuckles and Cream ran up to her, asking if she was alright. "Yeah, I'm fine" she said, shocked that nothing happened. "Looks like that thing wasn't so bad after all" Knuckles mocked Eggman. But he noticed that the doctor was smiling. "Oh, really" he smirked. Then out of nowhere, a trophy dropped from the sky, a trophy of Sonic! "What happened?" Amy gasped. "My Dark Cannon has turned our blue pain into a trophy. Unable to move, he's as good as dead" the evil scientist said. The others couldn't believe it. Amy took it the hardest. Sonic clearly took the blow protecting her. And now he was gone. "Now, time to test something else out. Primids, clone that trophy!" Eggman ordered. Then, a group of purple spores engulfed the trophy. After removing themselves from it, they took the form of Sonic, only he had a purple aura around him and had yellow eyes.
"Behold, False Sonic!" the doctor declared. "With him, the world doesn't stand a chance! Let's go and bring that trophy with us!" In a flash of light, Eggman, the trophy and False Sonic vanished. The others were still in shock. Cream decided to say something, "Now what?" Amy turned to them, looking defiant. "It's obvious. We go after him. Tails, can you locate Eggman's base?" she asked the young fox. "I could, but why?" he asked. "We're gonna go there and take Sonic back! I've got to make it up to him" she told them. The others understood. Amy loved Sonic but he didn't love her. But he rescued her so many times. And now he was dead, retrieving his remains was the best they could do for him. So, the foursome headed to Tails' workshop, where they hoped to find some idea where Eggman was.
Meanwhile, Sora was watching them, in hiding, with his eye on Amy. "Another one, but capturing her won't be easy. I'd better wait for a moment when she's alone" he said to himself.
Can Tails and the others find Eggman and rescue Sonic, is Sonic really dead and why does Sora want to capture Amy? Find out next time on Return of the Subspace Emissary!
