Ressurected from dead after nearly a year of writers block and "problems"
The story so far: Bark has helped Knuckles lose another emrald. Meanwhile Tails and Pin are surrounded by Badniks.
There was a loud bang, and Bean felt everything jolt about. The door swung open, the cage Pin had placed Bean in was now open. Bean thought for a moment, before taking his chances, anything was better than being locked up like this. Looking back and forth, Bean made his way out of the cage. As soon as he had, it disappeared. Bean ignored this, he had more important things to worry about right now than the impossibilities of matter collapse.
Bean began to make his way through the nothingness. It was not what he would call enjoyable to walk through it in such a state. The whole place was too chaotic, almost unstable. Bean continued, forwards, as around him a forest materialised out of the nothingness. Bean looked at it closely, the forest was blocky, almost made entirely of squares, and there was quite some distinction between areas of colour. This wasn't too important to Bean though, as he slowly found himself attacked by groups of dynamite armed ducks, all of whom bore more than a passing resemblance to Pin. Bean took out some of his own bombs and began to fight back. These ducks however where nowhere as near as powerful as Pin, and Bean found he could deal with them with just one bomb a duck.
Bean also found that his bombs actually materialised out of mid-air, a fact which gave Bean much joy as he blasted the various Pins into oblivion. Ducking over one of there bombs, Bean blasted another one with one well placed explosion. Bean cheered as it went flying, this had made up for all the time Bark had told him not to throw explosives. Pulling out a peace sign, the last of the ducks was thrown backwards into a tree with another explosion. The duck in question disappeared into nothingness soon afterwards.
Bean looked around, the square forest began to fade back into the nothingness again. Bean sighed, he'd had a lot of fun blowing all the Pin look-alikes into small pieces, that he found himself startled to have finished. Bean wandered around the nothingness, but there was nothing for him to see. Bean continued walking forwards, having picked a direction via pot luck. Bean figured that if all roads led to nowhere, and if he already was nowhere, then all roads must lead to somewhere good. Not being able to see any flaw in his logic, Bean quickened his pace. Bean eventually came into a large computer room.
"Looks like I found it at last then," he said, unsure why exactly finding a computer room was significant. Bean looked around, maybe there was something in here that could be of use to him. He looked at one of the terminals. The screen asked him for a username. Dutifully, Bean typed in his own name. the machine then asked for a password. Bean looked blank, he had no idea what it was. He tried typing in various things, none of which worked.
After several attempts, on that computer Bean had not yet found a password which had worked. Bean whacked his hand onto the computer. It beeped, and Bean saw that somehow he had got in. Bean looked at what he had hit; the password had been 'poloi'. Bean looked at this name, he knew it from somewhere. Unfortunately Bean didn't have to long to think about where he had heard that word before more Pin clones had walked in. They all began to throw dynamite at Bean. Bean jumped all around to avoid the incoming explosives. The bombs bounced off the computers, leaving them unscathed. Bean jumped over to them, and began to peck at the first clone. It tried to block, but was soon felled to the floor.
Two more ducks came after Bean. Bean managed to trick the pair of them into blowing each other up as he ducked underneath the bombs. Bean looked around, it looked like he was clear. Bean gazed at the computer, it was showing him something unusual. It looked like a camera recording, only he had full control of the camera. Bean moved the camera around, wherever it was, it was surrounded by nasty looking robots. Oddly, there was also a small fox cub. Bean looked carefully at it, then realised, it had been the one he had been pecking at earlier, on the red bi-plane a fact confirmed by the number of tails Bean noticed on the fox.
"Any ideas Pin?" the fox said nervously, talking to the camera. Bean looked at the fox oddly. It was a bit odd to call a camera by that name. It was then that Bean realised that he was actually seeing things through Pins eyes. Maybe this would be how Bean could beat Pin back into submission, and regain control.
"Duck," a voice said, echoing from all around. It was Pin's voice, and it was panicked. It struck Bean just how panicked Pin was, especially as before now everything Pin had said was spiteful, but calm as if he was in control. Bean began to wonder what all this equipment was for. There was another shock, and Bean grabbed onto one of the terminals for support. Bean looked at the monitor, the fox was fighting with the robots, as was Pin. Bean found it hard to watch, as if he was having an out of body experience. Bean looked again at the control panel, one of the monitors was flashing the words 'execute switch' Bean looked at the keyboard. The room began to flicker. Yet again reality began to collapse all around Bean. The computer screen showed up lots of system error messages, as the whole place disintegrated into nothingness.
Why was Pin seeing a two tailed fox? What did the execute button do? There's only one way to find out, keep reading.
