Chapter 2: Six Months Later
Six months have gone by since Chris stumbled out of the forest and meeting Molly. Taken to the town of Nue Heaven Chris had a new life never finding out who he ever was. Given a new name and meaning, he was now called Wally. Living with Molly and also becoming friends with some of the town's folks. In a couple of months he managed to get a job for a Hardware Store. One day Wally was resting from a very slow and boring day of work till he falls asleep in the storage room. "WALLY! WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?!" His Boss, Randy Donavan. 84yrs Old Brown Rabbit shouts for him opening the storage room. The sound of the door wakens him. "WALLY!"
He quickly gets up. "Y-yeh, wha?"
Randy eyes him knowing he was asleep. "You've been back here for too damn long. Orders finally popped up to be delivered." He informs him and walks out of the storage room.
Wally quickly rubs his eyes to snap him out of it. "Damn, it's about time."
"That's right. You have four orders to deliver to four different places." He informs him giving him the addresses.
"Four? Geez, that might take me all day." He looks at the addresses. "Wow…yup all day. I'm basically going all over the place."
"Before you go… Catch." He tosses him a brown shirt.
He catches it and unfolds it to look at it. "Nice… A business shirt?" He says looking at his logo on it. A diamond with the letters RHD meaning Randy's Hardware and Deliveries.
"Can't have you going out there and not represent the place."
He looks at his new shirt and notices Randy's new attire that he's wearing also. Wearing a red shirt with his logo on it also and black work pants. "I see that you got yourself something nice also. How long is it going to last?"
"Shut-up. Now git outta here." Randy says going through order receipts.
He sighs, "Am going to have to call Molly that I might be late coming back home." He pulls out his phone. "Hey Molly, finally got some deliveries but am being sent all over the place so I might be late."
"Don't worry about it. Just be safe out there." She says back.
"I'm always safe so don't worry. I'll behave while am out and about."
She laughs "Alright, just come back home safe."
He looks at the phone and smiles but quickly loses it noticing his boss looking at him. "Umm, yeah. I'll see ya later. Bye." He puts the phone away knowing he has something to say.
"When are you going to tell her?" He asks looking at Wally with a smirk.
"Say what exactly?" He says nervously back putting on the shirt.
"Don't bullshit me. I see the way you look at her and the way she looks at you back. You're not getting any younger. So say what you have on your mind before it's too late."
"Me? Young?" He chuckles "I don't even know how old I am. Heck she probably doesn't really see me in a relationship type of way."
He approaches Wally and puts his hand on his shoulder. "I've been around the block a thousand times already to know what goes on." He looks around the shop. "One day I'll be too old to run this place." He looks at Wally. "I think I know the best person responsible to hand it over too."
He slowly backs off holding the packages. "Umm, well you're not kicking the bucket yet plus you're talking crazy so go take your meds." He says quickly leaving making sure he had the last word heading to the delivery truck. "Bye."
"BYE MY ASS AND YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF THAT DAMN TRUCK!"
Driving through town he had to stop seeing a roadblock ahead. "Aww, crap." He sighs. Not being able to see he gets out of the truck hearing gun fire at a distance.
Seeing a crowd of people blocking the road he gets onto the bumper of the truck to see what's going on. "Hmm. A military group? Going against…-" "That Military group is called The Resistance." He hears a familiar high pitched voice and looks down. He sees Peanut, a young 9yr old Pomeranian pup that blinks into existence when something out of the ordinary happens. He stands there looking up at Wally being at 2 ½ feet tall wearing his bright yellow shirt and green shorts over his golden brown fur. "Hey Peanut. If you know so much then who's the other group?"
"Some crazy arms group hiding in the forest. I think there called BOA. It's weird seeing them since they never show themselves." He says slowly trying to get on the truck.
Annoyed by the roadblock. "Hopefully this stops. It's no wonder Molly told me to be care-…." He looks to his side and sees Peanut eye to eye. He looks down and sees that he's standing on the trucks hood. He glares at him, "Get off the truck."
"Dammit." He says getting off.
Wally gets off the bumper and gets back into the truck. "Laters."
"Wha, you're leaving? You're not going to stay for the action?"
"Nope. I have things to deliver since that's what happens when you have a job."
"Ha, ha. I'll gloat about it when something cool happens."
He closes the door then quickly rolls down the window and sticks his arm out pointing at the fight. "Don't you dare think about getting close to that. You stay right there… Got it?"
Peanut droops his shoulders and nods. "Alright."
He starts the truck. "See you around Peanut." He drives off picking a different route.
After delivering three of the four packages, Peanut calls him. He answers, "Commence the gloating."
"You totally missed it. The Resistance came in hard attacking back with guns and shit. When they got their butts kicked, one of the BOA guys got dragged to the Lead Commander. I think his name is Knuckles or something-" Losing focus on the road, his head begins to hurt. "and once they dragged him to where he is… He straight up punches him hard in the GUT-" Wally quickly grabs his head in pain. "GahAAHhhh!" Losing control he crashes into the side of a building. Pulling away from the building he then slams into a guardrail flipping the truck over. He drags himself out hearing Peanut yelling from the phone he goes unconscious. "WALLY?! Wally? Are you ok? WALLY?! ANSWER!"
Wally wakes up in a bed rubbing his head. "Damn." He looks around noticing he's back at home. Laying back down he tries to remember what happen but all he can think of is this Knuckles Echidna guy punching him in the gut. "Why?" He looks at his hand and sees it trembling. He puts his hands together and holds it close to him. Now he feels himself tremble. "What did I do to make him mad at me? No. Why am I remembering something like that? This doesn't make any sense. That never happen to me… …or did it?" He gets out of bed and exits the room.
Molly hearing the door open she enters the living room seeing Wally standing there. "You're finally up. How are you doing?"
"Finally up? How long have I been out?" He says sitting down on the couch.
"Almost half a day. What's the last thing that you were doing?"
"I remember that I was almost done with my deliveries and then Peanut called. He was talking about the Resistance and suddenly I felt like something was being forced into my head making me black out."
"Into your head… Like what?"
"A memory. Yeah…cuz once I woke up I remembered something that I've never done before."
"You finally remembered something?" She sits down also.
"Yeah and it has something to do with the Resistance." He looks at her. "When you first found me what was I doing?"
"You came out of the forest and stood in the middle of the street. I was driving by and almost hit you."
"Did I have anything on me?"
"Barely any clothes on."
"Can I see them? There's probably something on them."
She gets up. "Yeah, I still have it stored away." She leads him to her room to a closed container. She opens it dumping out what he had on that night six months ago. "You see anything that looks familiar?
Going through it he sees a very small device. "I don't see anything that I remember but what's this?" Picking it up and a button was pressed on it lighting up. "That turned it on but nothing I remember." He looks at the small device again putting it down. "So I came out of the forest and Peanut said something about the Resistance." Pacing around some more he remembers what Peanut said. "BOA?"
She looks at him. "BOA? What about them?" she asks anxious.
"I came out of the forest. Peanut said something about BOA being in the forest. Now they're here fighting the Resistance. That can't be some weird coincidence …right?"
"What do you have to do with the Resistance and BOA?"
"I don't know but it has something to do about me getting punched in the gut by the Resistance Lead Commander."
She points at him. "Whatever it is should wait. You have to be starving. I was cooking breakfast." She gets up and leaves the room.
"Sounds great." He grabs the small lit up device and puts it into his pocket.
Walking through the living room, he looks out the window and sees Randy's delivery truck damaged as he makes his way into the kitchen. … .. ..Quickly rushing back. "OH SHIT! RANDY'S GOING TO KILL ME!"
"Yeah, about that." She says from the kitchen. "It might be damaged but it's not totaled. It's still drivable."
"But, but still…look at it."
She comes and drags him into the kitchen for breakfast. "It's fine."
"FINE?! SURE… GO TELL THAT TO HIM!"
"Eat first then go face your doom."
Eating breakfast trying to think of an elaborate excuse while looking at the truck that now has its front end smashed in with the bumper missing. Disappointed he finishes eating and gets up to go return the truck to Randy.
"Thought of anything?" Molly asks.
"Nothing. I'm just going to have to face him but before I do that I still have to deliver that last package." Going through his pockets for his keys. "I'm out of here. See you at my funeral."
"Bye." She says back laughing.
Reaching and getting into the truck, he searches for the package. "Yes." He says relieved that it's still in one piece. He looks at the address. "Damn, all the way outside of town? Geez." He puts the key into ignition. "Please don't blow up." Turns it and starts. "Thank you." He whispers and drives off.
Reaching his destination he honks the horn what sounds like an animal getting killed. He gets out package in hand. "Here you go. Sorry for being a little late."
"A little?" He says back annoyed by the apology.
Wally looks over to the truck. "I uhh, ran into some trouble."
The owner also looks at the Truck. "Woah! Apology accepted." He says as he signs for the package.
"Thank you." He walks back to the truck as another vehicle pulls up. "Hey, are you Chris?"
He looks behind him and sees four guys in black military gear getting out of the car. "No. Sorry, am not."
"Bull, look." One of them says pulling out a picture showing it to the other three. "It's him." Looking at the picture he looks right back at Wally. "Hmmph!" He smiles and goes for his gun and before he can point it at him the wind picks up as something quickly zooms by taking one of them out making him yell out in pain. "AHhhh!" "SHIT! IT'S HIM! TAKE HIM OUT!" They pull out there weapons and start firing.
Wally quickly covers his ears and ducks to show he isn't a threat. "What the f&%$ is going on?" Wanting to move but couldn't muster up the courage to do it until one of the guys gets thrown at the truck slamming into it scaring him to move. "GAH! SHIT!" He quickly jumps into the truck to start it. "Stop. It's ok. You're safe now." A different voice is heard. He slowly turns and looks at a Blue Hedgehog on the side mirror.
Rewind To Metropolis City.
At Tails Workshop Sonic tries to sleep on Tails couch, but a device keeps activating waking him up. Beep! Boop! …Beep! Boop! He opens one eyes glaring at it. "Did it finally stop? Geez. I thought-" Beep! "AAHHHhhh! TAILS! SHUT THIS THING OFF!"
"What is it?" Tails asks walking into the room.
He looks at it from all angles. "I don't know but am about to throw it out the window." He tosses the device to Tails. He catches it and looks at it figuring out what it is… his eyes widen in disbelief. "So what is it? Did you manage-" He hears something hitting the floor. "Huh?" He glances over and sees Tails on the floor unconscious. "Tails?" He rushes over to him. "Wake up. C'mon, snap out of it."
Tails slowly regains conscious. He looks at the locator not believing what's on it. "Are you playing a prank on me… because this is taking it too far?" He says picking up the locator.
"No… not this time." Sonic glances at a water bucket balancing on a door frame. …"What is it?"
Tails still looking at the locator. "You're not going to believe this but… this is Chris's tracking device. It's been activated."
Sonic gets up being unsure. "Are you sure? I don't want to see you get sad on a wild goose chase."
Tails still sitting on the floor. "True but how long has it been since we've had an adventure?"
Sonic chuckles "Too long. So where are we off to?"
Tails figuring out where. "From what am seeing… its north… around Nue Heaven."
"Really? Knuckles was just there yesterday taking care of a problem. Hmmm, could this have anything to do with that?"
Tails still looking at the locator, he smiles and looks up at Sonic. "Want to go on a wild goose chase?"
They both set out to Nue Heaven by air with the Tornado. Arriving there they land as Sonic quickly gets out. "Geez… that was a long flight."
Tails gets out looking at the locator. "It was only twenty minutes."
"It still felt long. So where are we headed to?"
Adjusting their locators. "I don't know. At first everything was okay but now it's just keeps pointing everywhere. I can tell where it first started but after that, I can't seem to narrow it down."
He stretches, "Welp… Let's get this wild goose chase a go. Give me some hints and I'll go check them out. You go to where it first started." He puts out his fist for a fist bump.
Tails sees it and connects with it. "Sounds good to me." He hands Sonic a locator.
He grabs it and notices a crowd across the street looking at them. He then waves at them.
Across the street where the crowd gathers to see them, Peanut arrives excited getting a chance to see them. "No way. …Sonic? ...Here? This is awesome." Grabbing his phone he crosses the street. "Wally has got to know about this. I hope he's doing okay now." He calls him but no ring tone. "Huh?" Looking at his phone he notices that he has no service. "That's weird." He Looks back to Sonic but already he was gone. "Damn, why no service?"
To his left he notices someone dressed overly protected gear in black with a skull mask on. Looking directly at him letting him know that he sees him, he then starts walking towards Peanut. Starting to panic, he runs back across the street to the crowd running straight through them. Not stopping he runs down the sidewalk reaching the corner of the block. He looks back to see if he really was coming for him. "Ok… I'm okay. No need to panic. He was only walking-" The crowd steps aside opening up, letting him through as they all watch him. "OK TIME TO PANIC." Peanut runs across the street and runs down the sidewalk. Trying to get as far away, he notices a weird Black S.U.V driving around as it comes to a stop and turns heading in his direction. "SHIT. WHY?!" Feeling dread he stops, turns into an alleyway and runs down it. Half way down the alley, a fence blocks his way. He franticly climbs up it. Once reaching the top, his shorts get caught. "GAh! No.." He looks down the alleyway he sees the Mask Man enter. He pulls and pulls till his shorts rip getting loose. Climbing down it, the Mask Man kicks the fence causing him to fall the rest of the way down. He quickly gets up and runs hearing him climb the fence behind. Not stopping he makes a right and hides between two dumpsters.
Hiding he can hear the car pass by followed by footsteps. He stops and walks around. He pulls out his phone. "I f&%$ing lost him. …Yeah, I'm in an alleyway. Don't worry he won't be able to call him with the jammer running. ...YES I KNOW SONIC IS HERE! WE HAVE TO FIND HIM FIRST BEFORE HE DOES! Am getting out of here and meet up with you guys." Once he leaves Peanut stays hidden making sure it was really safe to come out.
He looks at his phone again with no signal, "Why did he want me? …Why? Wally? Because I know him? I got to find him. Why are they after him?" He steps out from between the dumpsters and looks around. He slowly walks to the end of the alleyway and makes sure that it's safe. Looking around the corner of the building he sees more S.U.V's driving around. He goes back into the alley worried. "This is not good."
Tails reaches Molly's house and rings the doorbell. Looking at his locator the door opens up. He smiles hoping that it's him only to see someone else. "Hi." She answers.
He waves at her "Umm, Hi. I'm looking for someone. Is someone named Chris living here?"
"No. Sorry, you got the wrong place." She answers back.
"Umm, ok. Sorry for bothering you. Bye." He turns around as she closes the door. Looking back at his locator, he starts walking to wherever it points. "I can only go onward from here and follow the bread crumbs."
Sonic rushes all over town checking every street and famous places anyone will go. "Over there?" He points. "Nothing." He rushes to another spot. "What about here? Annnd nothing." Looking at the locator, he notices that it points one way then switches back to a different spot and then goes right back. "Geez, this tracker doesn't want to make its mind up." He looks over to one of the buildings giving him an idea, as he looks up at the roof. "Hmmm, maybe if I get to a high enough spot? That might be able to help out." He rushes outside of town in search for a hill high enough until he finds one. "See Tails, I can think of something smart …every once in a while." He stops on top of the hill and checks the tracker again. "What?" He turns around facing away from town. …"That way? Outside of town? Uhhh, okay." Speeding down the road passing farms he reaches an auto shop with what looks like thugs trying to rob someone. "Uh-oh. Looks like someone's in trouble-" He sees one of them goes for their gun. "Gotta go fast." He rushes in quick picking up dust to blind them all and then comes rushing right back tackling one and then flips him away. "AHhhh!" He lands on top of a car bouncing off it, then lands on the pavement.
"SHIT! IT'S HIM! TAKE HIM OUT!" One of them shouts as they all fire at him.
Dodging gun fire as he sees one of them needing to reload giving him an opportunity to jump kick him in the face. Down he goes slamming onto the ground. Sonic then jumps into the air doing a spin dash into another thug sending him flying into the truck. After bouncing from the attack he heads straight to the last thug punching him the face dazing him. Then he does jab to the gut followed with an uppercut to the jaw putting an end to the fight. Cracking his knuckles, "Crime doesn't pay…unless you're in the business for pain then am willing to contribute." Hearing the truck start he needed to reassure that the driver was safe. "Stop. It's ok. You're safe now." Standing there seeing the door open he gets surprised who steps out.
Wally gets out of the truck to thank him but Sonic just stands there and looks back speechless.
"Umm, Thanks for the rescue."
Sonic just stands there and keeps looking at him not saying anything.
Wally looks around. "Umm, How can I ever repay-" "HAHAHA!" Sonic shouts. "IT'S YOU!" Sonic quickly jumps at him hugging him. Wally surprised by it. Sonic lets go and looks at him again. "Tails is going to be happy to see you again."
"I-uhh, I-I am sorry-" "Sorry? About what? YOU'RE BACK!" Sonic interrupting him being excited.
"No. what I meant is that y-you have the wrong person. You're mistaking me for somebody else."
Sonic looks at him again knowing that he's not wrong. "I'm not. It's you. Right? You're Chris. ….right?"
"Again with Chris. No. My names Wally."
Sonic shakes his head and looks at him sad. "He was right about coming back different." He mutters.
"What? What are you talking about?" He asks.
Sonic looks at him, "It's a long story but I think you should have Tails explain everything to you."
Wally shakes his head. "Am not sure. I have things that I have to-" "Nuh-uh." He interrupts him. "You're not going anywhere without me. We're heading back to town together to meet up with Tails."
Wally knowing he can't get rid of him he agrees. "Fine. Looks like I can't get rid of you." He gets back into the truck as the passenger door opens entering Sonic. A bit annoyed he asks, "So am Wally and you are?"
"I'm Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog."
He puts the truck into drive, but while keeping an eye on the road… at the corner of his eye, he sees Sonic just looking at him. "Will you stop looking at me?"
"Right… sorry."
"You said you were looking for me? Who are you working with?" He asks cautiously wondering if he's with BOA or the Resistance.
"Am not working with anyone but my buddy Tails been hoping to see you again."
Driving up a hill road, almost reaching the top, "Again? The only people I know are the people in this… what the f&%$?" He stops the truck and watches as the town is under attack. He hears the passenger door open.
"You need to get to the landing strip quick." Sonic tells him.
Wally refuses shaking his head. "I don't think so. I got to make sure my friends are okay."
"Am telling you to head-" "And I don't care what you say. I'm going to go find my friends like it or not."
"Alright Just be careful and don't-" an explosion goes off as Sonic turns to it. He turns to Wally giving him one last look and runs off.
He sits in the truck staring at the chaos happening to the town, "This is not because of me… right? …Right?" He drives into town in hopes that he can find his friends.
