Chapter Twenty-Five "Toying with Eggman"
Blake found himself lying in a ditch, there were thorns and prickles everywhere and quite a lot of them stuck in his arm.
Blake gasped from the pain and held his arm with his other arm then he tried standing up.
He shook himself and brushed the thorns off then he rubbed his eyes.
"Where am I?" said Blake then looking at his watch.
His watch was broken, probably from the fall.
"I suppose this is useless now." said Blake throwing the watch away, but a noise made him alarmed he heard a loud grumble and then a stomping sound, but he didn't have his sword.
The sound got closer and Blake was not in the mood but something gave him this strange familiar sound and then he hid before the person spotted him.
It was Eggman! He was in his Eggwalker grumbling over the watch that had just hit his head. Blake pondered, his back to Eggman but out of sight, he stroked his chin with a dark look in his eye.
Eggman heard something.
"Who's there? Who just hit me with that?!" said Eggman.
Blake gave a 'what the heck' expression with his hands and went out in the open facing Eggman.
Eggman stared wonderingly at the hedgehog confused as to why he had approached him.
Blake stood there with a battle ready expression on his face looking at Eggman with a 'how dare you call on me' look.
Finally Eggman got impatient.
"What do you want? How are you? You're not Sonic, but then why are you looking at me like that?" said Eggman scratching his head with one of his hands.
"I was about to ask you the same question, I threw the watch, what of it?" said Blake.
Eggman looked confused, he had figured Sonic was back in his hair again egging him one once more or at least one of his bratty friends, but it appeared somebody new was challenging him.
"I thought one of my enemies threw something at Me." said Eggman turning his walker and going the other direction after sighing.
Blake thought there for a moment then started following Eggman, his foot pace's notice was in unison with Eggman's walker's steps, the walker was metal and huge it was like a ship cut in half with metal legs, Eggman sat in the seat above it, he started noticing that sound when he looked behind him he noticed he was being followed.
"What in the world are you doing?!" Eggman complained.
Blake was amused; he was toying with the mad genius in the Eggwalker.
Eggman was annoyed.
"Sorry but I NEED to know what's become of Sonic." said Blake.
"I'm hoping Anna completed her mission." thought Blake. "If not then I'm way to far in the past or she failed me."
"Are you one of Sonic's miserable friends?!" said Eggman immediately getting a dislike for Blake who was standing there with a confident but dark look on his face.
Blake jumped on top of the eggwalker looking eye to eye with him.
"I am NO friend of Sonic!" said Blake thunderously.
"Well I don't work with hedgehogs…except maybe Shadow, oh whatever! Just get off my walker and go I have world domination to plan!" said Eggman feeling threatened by the hedgehog.
"What?! I WILL be the ruler not you!" said Blake angrily feeling challenged.
Eggman laughed.
"How could a little pipsqueak of a hedgehog rule a planet? Impossible!" he said laughing hysterically. "Besides I've been planning an attack on this planet for AGES and I'm about ready to make a comeback."
Eggman felt higher then this 'Blake' he appeared taller about as strong as any normal hedgehog although he appeared older.
"I HAVE BEEN RULING THIS PLANET LONGER THEN YOU! FAKER!" said Blake.
"Don't pull the 'FAKER!' thing on me." said Eggman somewhat amused. "And I don't care if you've ruled this place before, I suppose you're that odd character I'm always hearing about, but I will soon have the Eggman Empire! It may not be soon but lets just say I have quite a few surprises."
The area around them was plane but it seemed like spring because all the area was green there were few trees but the grass was long and the wind whispered but it had to of been spring, or at least a warmer area on the planet.
Eggman soon disappeared and Blake was left pondering.
"I've never had competition before." thought Blake.
