Mean Machines


(Ayla's POV)

*It's been a week since my "date" with Shadow. Right now, Sonic and I were racing through the city. We stopped at the top of a building. We looked towards the park & decided to go there. When we got there, we saw kids running like Sonic, one guy was sleeping in a tree, a woman was making a picture of me & my brother out of colorful stones, another women was selling buttons that had Sonic's & my picture on them, & another guy was making little wood status of me & Sonic. There even a few people who had their hair dyed cobalt blue. Went we got there, a lady looked up at us from her painting & smiled*

Woman: Look everybody!

Woman 2: Sonic and Ayla are here!

*Pretty soon, we were surrounded by a flock of fans. They all came running towards us*

Sonic: Calm down, will ya!?

Ayla: Let's get out of here!

*Not needing to be told twice, Sonic & I high tailed it out of there*


(Gotta Go Fast!)

(Ayla's Theme song - KC Undercover Theme Song)


*I was flying through town, on my way to Tyler's house for band practice. I flew past a electronics store & saw the news was on*

Scarlet Garcia:*on the TV* Sonic and Ayla's popularity seems to be affecting people throughout the city in all sorts of amazing ways. From groups of children playing games of "Catch the Hedgehog" and learning how to skateboard, to adults sleeping on rooftops like Sonic, Sonic and Alya's fame seems to be reaching astonishing proportions. In fact, a large number of citizens are leaving their jobs in order to follow their idols. From Station Square Park, I'm Scarlet Garcia, SSTV News.

*I face-palmed. I'm flattered that people idolize me and my brother, but they can't just abandon their jobs. Plus, I'm not lazy like my brother. I'm a hard worker. I've got to find a way to snap these people out of it*


*When I got home that afternoon, a delivery guy was dropping off Ella's vacuum cleaner. Apparently, it needed to be fixed too*

Delivery Guy: No tip? Lousy butler.

*As I walked past him, I put a 5 dollar bill in his hand. I then followed Mr. Tanaka into the house where everyone was having tea & snacks. Sitting in front of all them was Cream's new friend, Emerl, who's eyes looked blank*

Chuck: Well, how's our little patient feeling, Ella?

Ella: Right now he's taking a nice long nap. I'm sure the rest will do him lots of good.

Chuck: Wonderful!

Mr. Tanaka: Good news, Ella, your vacuum cleaner just came back from the repair shop.

Ella: Ah, welcome home my little amigo! I hate to say it, but Mr. Thorndyke's company doesn't make the good products the way it used to. They're always breaking.

Chuck: Please forgive me, Ella. I would've fixed it for you myself, but lately I've been spending all my spare time trying to figure out what's wrong with Emerl.

Ella: Oh, sure, I understand, Mr. Thorndyke.

Cream: Isn't Emerl feeling sick too?

Cheese: Chao?

Chuck: Yes. When I examined him yesterday, I found that all his program data had been erased somehow.

Amy: Poor Emerl.

Cream: Maybe I can take care of Emerl like Ella takes care of Chris.

Cheese: Chao-Chao!

Vanilla: That's very thoughtful of you, Cream.

Ayla: Is Chris ok?

Chuck: Don't worry, he's fine. He's just got a -

*Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter was heard. We all ran into Chris' room & saw Nelson & Lindsey getting out*

Chris: Why are . . . They here?

Nelson: How you feeling, buddy? I heard you were sick, so I rushed right home -

Lindsey: I'm here, baby.

*They both wrapped Chris in a hug & kissed him*

Ayla:*in her mind* They really do worry too much.

Chuck: Don't you think you're overreacting? It's just a common cold. Everyone gets them.

Nelson: Yes, I know, but when I heard, I just couldn't keep my mind on my work.

Lindsey: Same here.

Chuck: Now son! You're impossible! Don't you see? What kind of example are you giving your son abandoning your workplace just because of a harmless little cold!?

Nelson: But Dad, I just wanted to -

Chuck: Don't you 'but Dad me, Mister Big Shot Goof Off! How irresponsible can you get?!

Nelson: Now, listen here, Dad. If I wanna take a day off to visit my son when he's got a disease, it's nobody's business but mine!

Chuck: If I were you, I couldn't afford to take time off! Not when every product you make rolls off the assembly line straight into the junk shop!

Nelson: I'll have you know the real reason behind those bad appliances are your friend, Sonic!

Ayla: Excuse me!?

Chuck: How dare you put the blame on Sonic! Can't you even take responsibility for your own incompetence?!"

Chris: Everybody, stop yelling!

*We all turned to Chris, surprised*

Lindsey: Darling.

Nelson: Sorry about that, big guy. Guess we got a little carried away there.

Chris: Is this what you came home for!? To argue!? If you care about me, you have a funny way of showing it!

Chuck: Sorry . . .

*We all left the room, to give Chris some peace & quiet*

Ella: Chris didn't mean what he said, it's just a reaction to the antibiotics. Ah, I just had the most wonderful idea! I'll make his favorite cherry pie. One big bite of that and he'll be smiling from ear to ear

Lindsey: How marvelous. Pie. Let's all pitch in and make it together. Huh?

*We all looked at Chuck & Nelson, who weren't talking to each other at the moment. We all then went into the kitchen*

Ella: Alright, everybody, let's get started.

Lindsey: Let's. It looks like we've got everything we need. Everything except the cherries. *she went to the fridge, but the doors wouldn't open* It won't budge.

Ella: That's strange.

*They both tried to open the fridge, when suddenly, the mixer came to life & jumped towards them*

Nelson: Watch out!

*He got them both out of the way, just before the mixer went right through the fridge*

Chuck: I can't believe what I'm seeing!

*The mixer crashed through the fridge for a bit, came back out, & went straight for Nelson, Lindsey, & Ella. I was about to jump in & save them, when Sonic spin dashed in the room & destroyed the mixer. I looked at Emerl & saw it's eyes glowing*

Sonic: Alright! Now that's what I call mixing it up! I just beat the beater!

*Suddenly, the fridge door flew open & food came flying out*

Amy: Leave these to me!

*Using her hammer, she knocked all the food back*

Sonic: Nice work, Amy.

*Just then, the fridge grew eyes & feet & started walking towards us*

Amy: Freaky freezer!

*She hit the fridge with her hammer & hit hit the wall, breaking. Suddenly, we heard Chris scream upstairs. Sonic & I ran upstairs & found Chris sitting in the corner of his room. His bed was broken & there was a pile of broken parts in front of him*

Sonic: Chris!

Ayla: Are you okay!?

*He looked confused & turned towards Emerl, who was standing next to the mess*

Chris: How'd you learn to do that?

Sonic: Do what, Chris!

Chris: Emerl spun around like you do when you go real fast.

Sonic: Your kidding me!?

*Suddenly, the parts came back together & attacked us. Sonic did another spin dash. Just before I could join in, Emerl also did a spin dash & they destroyed the robot*

Chris: Hey, good job, you guys. You got him.

*Suddenly, an army of appliances charged into the room & cornered us. Just before we could fight, a fire started & the sprinklers turned on. Just then, the appliances short circuited & fell to the floor. Soon, everyone else ran into the room*

Nelson & Lindsey: Chris!

Lindsey: Are you alright, my darling?

Chris: Sure Mom, the water stopped them.

Chuck: Those sprinklers came on just in time, but I have a bad feeling we haven't seen the last of these monsters.

Sonic: Eggman must be behind this.

Chuck: If we don't act fast, this city could be headed for a catastrophe!

Chris: But now that we know water can short-circuit them, maybe we can stop them.

Lindsey: That's right.

*Just then, the water turned off*

Chuck: Oh no! They've done it! They've gone and shut off the water supply!

Sonic: That's our cue, kids!

Ayla: Gotta run!

*Sonic jumped out a broken window & I followed him on my board. When we got into the city, an army of appliances were attacking everyone. Sonic used his spin dash to bash them away & used my Ring Blades to slice them in half. We turned to a crowd of people*

Sonic: Water stops them, so get your hands on some H20 and let it flow!

Man: We knew we could count on you, Sonic and Ayla!

Sonic: Soak it to 'em, guys!

Ayla: Really?

Sonic: What? It's catchy.

*We both ran into the Police Station*

Police Chief: I got firefighters in every part of this city and trucks that are on the lookout! We'll blast those bad boys till they're good and soggy!

Sonic: Thanks, Captain!

Ayla: Good luck.

*We both ran down the street. Just then, we saw Knuckles surrounded by more appliances. He was kicking them away*

Sonic: Yo, Knuckles!

Ayla: You okay?

Knuckles: Well it's about time! I'm getting attacked by everything but the kitchen sink.

Sonic: Too bad using our fists isn't gonna work for long, water's all that really works on 'em!

Ayla: The firefighters are on their way now!

Sonic: We'll have to do our best to fight 'em back in the meantime!

*Suddenly, we heard a very familiar laugh above us*

Dr. Eggman: Well, Sonic and Ayla, I must commend you in your valiant efforts to annihilate my army of attacking appliances, but I'm afraid my menacing machines are still on the march! *an antenna came out of his Eggmobile. It sent out a sound wave, making the army of appliances turn towards us & surround us. they all came at us in droves, but we just kept knocking them away. but I also knew that we couldn't keep this up. I was getting tired**chuckling* When Battling a washing machine, one can't be wishy-washy. My, these modern household conveniences certainly are inconvenient, aren't they, Sonic and Ayla?*laughing*

Decoe: HEY BOCOE, THEY SURE DO LOOK WORN OUT DON'T THEY?

Bocoe: YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN. A PART OF ME FEELS BAD FOR THEM. BUT I CAN ALWAYS HAVE THAT PART REMOVED, I SUPPOSE.

Bokkun: WHOA, JUST LOOK AT EM! THEY'RE REALLY MANGLING THOSE MACHINES!

Sonic: Man, I'm running out of steam.

Knuckles: I can't keep this up much longer.

Ayla: Me neither.

*Just then, we got a call from Tails say that the water was turned back on. Using hoses, we stopped on the appliances dead in their tracks*

Sonic: Well I guess that does it.

Knuckles: Yeah.

Dr. Eggman: Impossible. I could've sworn we cut off the water supply!

Decoe: SOMEONE MUST'VE TURNED IT BACK ON DOCTOR.

Bocoe: LOOKS LIKE YOUR PLAN IS A WASHOUT, DOCTOR.

Dr. Eggman: And just when we were this close to stopping Sonic and Ayla once and for all!

Bokkun: I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONERS BUT THEY SURE SHOWED US, DIDN'T THEY.

Decoe: WELL, WHAT IS THE PLAN?

Bocoe: YEAH, DOCTOR. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

Dr. Eggman: On to the next strategy!

*They flew away leaving Bokkun behind*

Bokkun: HEY, WAIT FOR ME WILL YA! COME ON, YOU GUYS! WAIT UP!

Ayla: Well, now that that's done. I could really go for some of Ella's cherry pie right now.
