Chapter 2: Amnesia and Water Fight
The hedgefox slept softly, held tightly against a chair by chains, ropes, and a few locks. It was then she gave a small whimper as she began to regain consciousness. Her ears twitched as her eyes struggled to try to stay shut before they began to slowly open.
"Oh crud..she's waking up," Sonic's voice whispered as the hedgefox's eyes fully opened, seeing Sonic and Tails hiding behind a turned over table.
"..." the Hedgefox stared at them, "..." she tried to get up, only for the bindings to stop her, "..." she tilted her head, "..."
"...Something weird's going on…" Tails whispered.
"Yea..hey uh...you," Sonic called to the hedgefox.
"..." the Hedgefox blinked twice.
"Why did Eggman send you after me?"
"..." the hedgefox blinked a few more times as a question mark appeared over her head.
"..."
"...Uh...Sonic, I don't think she gets it," Tails noted.
"...I think you're right…" Sonic blinked, noticing the hedgefox was looking around in confusion, "...Wait...Tails, do you think…" he then whispered to Tails, "...that blow to the head she got gave her amnesia?"
"Hmm...I think so," Tails noted, "Hey!" the the hedgefox looked at her, "What's your name?"
"..." she tilted her head, "?"
"Well...This is going on a roll uphill," Sonic noted before the hedgefox looked at him at the word 'roll.'
"Wait. Sonic, say that word again," Tails ordered.
"...Again?"
"Not that one."
"Uphill?"
"One more before it."
"A?"
"That's two before before it."
"...Roll?" Sonic guessed, earning the hedgefox's attention once more.
"...I think she thinks her name is Roll," Tail noted.
"...You think so?"
"Yea..quick, ask her something."
"..Uh...Roll?" Sonic spoke, getting the hedgefox's attention once more, "Are you…?" he paused when he heard a grumbling, "...hungry?"
"..." 'Roll' blushed while looking down at her feet.
"...I think I'll take that as a yes...hold on," Sonic said as he dashed off in a blur and came back with a chilidog, "It's not much, but maybe you'll enjoy this."
"..."
"Oh..eheh...right. Your arms are bound," Sonic chuckled sheepishly as he motioned the chilidog to her face, "H..here."
'..." 'Roll' tilted her head a bit before she sniffed the chili-dog, "...?" she looked up at Sonic, tilting her head.
"Go ahead. eat it."
"..." 'Roll' blinked before she slowly opened her mouth and bit the chilidog a bit before her tail shot up, "?!"
"...uh...are you a-"
*CHOMP!*
"..."
"..."
"...I'll go get the medical kit," Tails sighed as he walked off, leaving Sonic, frozen stiff, as his hand was currently in Roll's mouth, her tail wagging happily.
"Dang..who knew she'd react just from one bite?" Tails asked as he finished bandaging Sonic's hand.
"I sure didn't..along with her trying to eat my entire arm," Sonic replied, mumbling that last part as Roll sat down in her seat, her tail still wagging, "...So...what do we do with her?"
"Not sure...we can't leave her as she is," Tails informed before his sight was gone, "..."
"Tails, don't take that off," Sonic ordered, averting his eyes from Roll, who had tossed off the towel she had been given to let her get out of the suit she was in.
"?" Roll tilted her head.
"..."
"..." Roll's tail wagged as she smiled at Sonic.
"...uh...if I let you out...will you promise to behave?"
"...?"
"...I'll...give you another chili-dog."
"?!" Roll's tail stood up at that as it began to wag happily.
"...I'll take that as a yes," Sonic noted as he carefully walked over to Roll, "Tails...whatever you do, do not remove the towel from your head."
"?"
"Okay…" Sonic nodded as he slowly undid the bindings on Roll before he yelped when the hedgefox tackled him to the floor, "Oof!"
Roll giggled, her tail wagging happily. She nuzzled his cheek while Sonic blushed heavily.
"...uh...g...good girl?" Sonic blinked as he slowly petted Roll's head, making her nuzzle his cheek more.
"...u-"
"Not...a word, Tails."
"..I was going to say thank god Amy's not here, otherwise..well, you know."
"...oh...crap baskets," Sonic paled, knowing Tails was right.
"?" Roll tilted her head, still straddling the blue hedgehog.
"...uh...Tails?"
"Yea, Sonic?"
"Can you...try and head to the store for some clothes while I keep Roll company?"
"...Sure."
"Thanks. One more thing...don't, I repeat, DON'T let Amy find out about this."
"Okay, Sonic," Tails replied as he walked to the door...only to hit a chair, "Oof! Sorry! I've got this." he tripped over the couch, "Gah! Okay! I'm okay! I've got this."
"...Take the towel off first, Tails. Just don't look this way."
"Oh...right."
"Okay, Sonic, I got the clothes, but I am now banned from the mall for the next two months," Tails informed, "Long story short, d…" he nearly dropped the bags he had at seeing the ruined living room, "My couch!"
"Ugh…" Sonic groaned, poking out of what had been the couch.
"Sonic, what happened?!"
"...Long story short: never give Roll coffee."
"Mewmewmewmewmewmew!" a yellow blur zipped around, yipping.
"The heck?!" Tails yelped.
"That...was Roll…" Sonic replied before the blur tackled him, "oof! Again, Roll?!"
"...Why is she covered in mud?" Tails asked before Sonic tossed a towel over his head, "Hey~!"
"Why are we doing this, Sonic?" Tails groaned, the towel still on his head as the two stood outside the bathroom, "She tried to capture you and wrecked the house."
"Well, it was our fault she got amnesia. And, well, I kinda think if we manage to be her friend, she won't try to do that again when she remembers?" Sonic guessed near the end.
"...I really hope you're right, Sonic," Tails sighed before the door he and Sonic were against was knocked on, "...I think she's done."
"Let me check to make sure," Sonic said as he peeked in ,"..She is..but.." he pulled his head in, holding what used to be a bra, "...I don't think she likes bras."
Roll let out a quick hiss at that.
"...Nope. Definantly not," Sonic deadpanned as he threw the tattered bra away, "Ok Roll. You can come out now."
Slowly, Roll peeked her head out. Tails pulled the towel off his head as Roll walked out, wearing just a pink t-shirt and a jean skirt. Tails and Sonic looked her over before nodding.
"It's good on you," Sonic informed, earning a tackle from Roll and her nuzzling his cheek again, "Oof!"
"...I think she likes you, Sonic."
"What was your first clue?" Sonic deadpanned as Roll nuzzled against his cheek, '..Though, I will admit..She is kinda cute an-gah! D..did I just think that?!' he froze when he felt something wet on his cheek, "?!"
"...Did she just lick you?" Tails blinked before Roll tilted her head, the hedgehog no longer under her, "And he ran off."
"..." Roll tilted her head while looking at Tails.
"Don't look at me. I don't know where he went," Tails informed, "Though, I do have a way to find him."
"?"
"Bah!" Sonic gasped as he took his head out of a fountain,"..th..there..that should cool me off…" a drop of water hit the top of his head, "..." he looked up as it started to rain, "Of course."
It was then he heard sirens, causing him to turn and see various police cars running off somewhere.
"...what's up?" Sonic blinked before grinning, "Aw yeah! This'll be a good way to get my mind off things!"
With that, he took off in a blur, unaware he was being watched.
"Attention...uh...blue..slime,,.creature?" the lead cop shouted as he and a few cops confronted a familiar creature, "...Never mind! You are completely surrounded! Surrender yourself, and we will shoot you!"
"...uh...don't you mean 'or' sir?"
"...Fine. Creature, surrender yourself OR we will shoot you!"
"..." the water creature just stood there, swaying its arms softly like they were just dead weights.
"Uh, I don't think it's listening, sir."
"...fine. Men, ready...aim...fire!"
The cops then fired upon the water creature, only for their bullets to go through it.
"..." the water creature held up its right arm before reeling it back.
"?"
The creature let it punch ahead and the limb shot out like a blur. The other end of it had embedded itself in a car behind the officers before the creature reeled its arm back in, hitting some of the surprised officers, knocking them out. The creature held the vehicle over its head with the single arm before casually tossing it, It crashed into another police car, causing the two vehicles to blow up.
"...Uh..should we run now sir?"
"N...No! We don't run!" the lead cop yelled before another car was destroyed, "...However, tactical retreats are acceptable. Men, retreat! Fall back!"
"We run away, from the big blue henchie!"
"I told you to stop watching that movie!"
"..." the water creature picked up another car before throwing it right at the retreating officers.
"Heads up!" a blue blur slammed into the car, knocking it to the ground before Sonic landed across from the creature, "Wow...A creature of water. ...If I was scared of water, I'd have to ask if this was some sort of challenge for facing my fears."
"..." the water creature didn't say anything as it reeled its arm back once more.
The creature sent its limb at Sonic, who jumped over it. Curling up into a ball, he shot at the creature, hitting its head, causing a small splash and cause the water creature to turn into a puddle for a few seconds. It quickly reformed, focused on him. Sonic noticed that something was glowing between its eyes.
"Oh, dude...Is...Is that your brain?" Sonic asked, "Wow. Whoever made you must have used the ugly tree."
The water creature narrowed its eyes at Sonic before it leapt high into the air, landing on top of a flagpole before it reeled both its arms back.
"...What's he up t-woah!" Sonic yelped as he narrowly dodged a punch fm the creature before dodging yet another, the water creature practically sending a flurry of punches at Sonic, "Gah! Ooh! Eek! Baa! ...Did I just go 'Baa?'" he forgot it when one of the fists slammed near him, breaking the ground apart, "Whoa!"
He quickly jumped against another flagpole across from the creature and used it to jump above the creature. It looked up and was slammed in the brain by the hedgehog. The brain encased in a metal-like structure bounced a few feet away from the blue hedgehog once he landed on the floor, causing the creature's body to collapse into a puddle of water.
"Whew. Glad that's over," Sonic sighed in relief as he picked up the brain, "Though, what the heck is…?" he yelped as the puddle of water crashed into him, knocking the brain out of his hand and into the puddle, "Ugh! I've got water monster gunk on me! Ugh! Bleh! Bah! I think I swallowed some! Pft! Pft! Pft! Ptui!" the water creature reformed its head before turning into a puddle that quickly went into a drain, "Hey! Get back here!"
The creature ignored him as it slithired into the drain, going straight into the sewers below as it slinked off.
"..What the heck was that thing?" Sonic pondered before he noticed a familiar sun kissed blond tail poking out nearby, "...what the..Roll?"
"There you are!" Tails exclaimed as he ran over with Roll, holding a pair of umbrellas over his head and Roll's head.
"...Why is she wearing a leash?" Sonic asked.
"...I didn't really think that through when I put it on her," Tails admitted.
"...And why do you smell like a…"
"Don't you ask it," Tails narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, okay," Sonic waved his arms.
"...So...what happened here?" Tails asked, noticing the wreckage around the area.
"A water monster attacked," Sonic replied, "It had a brain floating in it."
"...How is that even possible?" Tails blinked.
"I have no idea. ...You think it came out of Mortal Kombat?"
"...I'm confiscating your Sega Saturn and Sega Genesis," Tails deadpanned.
"What?! Oh, come on…!" Sonic whined.
"It's sad that the ten year old is the one who has to be the adult to the fifteen year old," Tails sighed.
"...Ugh…"
"S...s...so…"
"Hm? Did you say something, Sonic?"
"No, I thought that was you," Sonic replied.
"So...Son…" the two turned to Roll, who had a frustrated, focused expression, "Son...Sa...Sahn...Son…"
"...Is she..trying to say your name, Sonic?"
"I think she is."
"Sah...Sonikku!" Roll beamed.
"...Excuse me?" Sonic raised a brow before he was tackle over, "Not again!"
"Sonikku!" Roll beamed, wagging her tail as she nuzzled into the hedgehog while giggling, "Sonikku!"
"...Good Roll."
"Tails, you traitor!"
"Sonikku! Sonikku!"
"...We're gonna have to work on her grammar a bit."
"Ya think?"
Tails facepalmed at that with a sigh. Unaware to the three, a figure was looking down at them from a top a building.
"So that's what happened," Eggman frowned, "Hmm…" he grinned, "I see...I see…" he laughed, "Well, well, well. This is certainly an unexpected turn. But no matter. Chaos, the God of Destruction, has been released. And with it, I will rule the world! Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh!"
SZ:*puts handcuffs on Well-To-Do* You have a right to remain silent, dirt bag!
GT: Anything you say can and will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney. If you don't have an attorney, the court will provide you with one...
Well-to-Do: What are you two talkin' about! I done nothing wrong!
SZ:..GT, tell him what crimes he's commited
GT: Let's see...Let's see…*flips through the book* Blackmail, kidnapping, copyright infringement, attempt to avoid copyright infringement horribly, destruction of private property, trespassing, kicking out a princess, insulting a princess, trying to avoid giving payment to said princess by making horrible fake images of her in the form of merchandise, oh and attempted genocide of an entire species.
SZ: Not to mention interfering with the mail, and breaking a golden rule between Celestia and the deer.
GT: Your trial is in twenty four hours. Until then, your cell awaits. Big Bubba's been lonely in there. Best advice? Don't drop anything.
Well-to-Do: N...No! You dont' understand! I was trying to bring Equestria into the future!
SZ: By tearing down peoples homes?
Well-to-do: O..of course. Equestria doesn't need trees or animals.
GT: ...On second thought, put him in the room with the broken TV that plays nothing but Post Season 5 Spongebob Squarepants episodes and the current five seasons of Family Guy.
SZ: Oh? I was sworn you'd lock him in the room with the TV that plays nothing but TTGO episodes.
Well-to-do: TT what now?
GT: That room's being used right now...by a fire.
SZ: Ah...well, Modern Spongebob and Modern Family Guy cell it is. Oh, and Well-To-Do..here's something we like to say about your 'Equestria doesn't need trees or animals' thing...GT?
GT: Meet your Security Officers. They're programmed to stuff you if you attempt to escape. *whistles and Golden Freddy, Toy Freddy, and Freddy FazBear from FNaF enter, wearing security outfits while Toy Freddy had a Springtrap suit ready for him* If you attempt to escape, these three will stuff you into a suit. After which, we will then file a missing persons report after ninety days or once the bloodstains have been removed from the floor and your rotting corpse thrown into a secret room for thirty years and then burned to a crisp.
SZ: Eeyup. Boys, take this..this...GT? A name for this...*points to Well-to-Do*thing here?
GT: Jailbait.
SZ: Thank you. Take this jailbait away.
Well-To-do:..w..wait! i..*whimpers as he was dragged off*
GT: Okay. Now that we've done that, what did you think of the chapter, SZ?
SZ: Pretty good..though I did learn never to give Roll coffee...in fact..it's always a bad idea to give certain people coffee, like Pinkie Pie...*shudders*
GT: Actually, coffee doesn't affect her. She's already too hyper for coffee.
SZ: Wait...really?
GT: Yeah. So, what was your favorite scene this chapter?
SZ: Hmm..well, Roll starting to bond with Sonic, the battle with Chaos 0, and Roll managing to say Sonic's name...in Japanese kinda.
GT: Aye. Well, until next time. I am GammaTron.
SZ: And I am Seanzilla115...and in 24 hours...well...you already know.
GT: I do?
SZ: Well-to-Do's Trial?
GT: Oh. Right. ...Should we write about that? Or did someone beat us to it? Ah well. We will see you readers in the next chapter. Bye-bye! *waves*
SZ: Ja ne!
