CHAPTER 3: An Underground Rendezvous



Far away deep in Robotropolice lays an underground base. Containing it are three hedgehogs. In the living room is a green hedgehog named Manic, he is playing on his drumset while looking at drum sheet music. He's playing a soft moderate beat. Sonic walks in the living room carrying a dolly with a huge amplifier in tow and his guitar around his body.

"Yo, bro, you don't mind if I practice here," Sonic said while plugging in the amplifier which his guitar was plugged in it to.

Manic stopped playing. "Uh, actually Sonic, I do kinda mind because I'm prac--"

Before Manic finished, Sonic played his guitar really loud. He was playing heavy metal type of rock, and it was annoying the hell out of Manic.

"SONIC! TURN IT OFF!" Manic screamed after his sheet music was bown away from the amplifier and his hair is being blown backwards.

Sonic ignored Manic (or probably can't hear him) and continued playing his guitar. He did strange dance moves as his guitar music was blasting the place.

"TURN OFF THAT GODDAMN GUITAR!!!" Manic screamed.

Sonic just continued to play.

Manic gave up and he got off his drumset. She started walking to the amplifier to turn it off. But the more he walked closer to it, the more the amplifiers sound was blowing him backwards. It was like Manic was trying to walk hard into a huge strong electric fan. When Manic was close to it, the amplifier was blowing him backwards with his sneakers skidding across the floor making marks.

Manic got a grip and walked faster and closer to it. Then his whole fanny pack unbuckled and flew backwards off of Manic. It hit the wall and it stuck there by the wind.

Sonic kept on jamming at his guitar not noticing Manic.

Manic walked on when he tripped and fell forward. He grabbed onto his drumset which was also being dragged. Suddently, Manics shores and socks slid right off his feet like a hot knife threw butter.

"Stupid older brothers!" Manic yelled to himself.

Manic got back on his feet (literally) and walked harder to the blowing amplifier. Then his arms were blown backwards and his head too. His two earings slipped out of their pierced holes. Then his whole vest slid right off along with his gloves. His spiked pracelets slid off too and they were blown backwards towards the pictures. The spikes on the bracelets hit both of Manic's eyes in the family portrait.

The wind blew Manic around and he saw the portrait with his bracelets in the pictures eyes of Manic.

"Holy... talk about keeping your eyes pealed," Manic said to himself. With that, Manic drum medallion slid right off his neck and it stuck to the wall too.

Sonic kept on jamming at his guitar. Manic slowly walked to Sonic, and without Sonic noticing, Manic slid off Sonic's guitar medallion. Manic put on the guitar medallion and his feet were at a Sonic speed blur.

Manic, at Sonic's speed, ran to the amplifier.

Sonic played his heavy metal guitar music rapidly. Until suddently, it wall all silent. When Sonic plucked a string, it didn't make any noise. Sonic was confused. He looked at the amplifier and noticed a very pissed off Manic starring at him with his thumb on the off swtich.

"Uh, hi Manic," Sonic said nervously.

Manic just walked to Sonic and grabbed his neck. Manic held Sonic high and held him to the wall.

"You idiot! Who needs Sonia to do that Super Twirl Twister thing when you could just play your guitar with an amplifier that is over a million watt! You do that again and I will personally pierce your ears with my teeth! Got it?" Manic said angrely, teeth showing.

Sonic looked scared. "Fine, sorry man." Manic let go of Sonic.

"Next time, practice your acoustic guitar when I'm in the same room," Manic said.

Sonia entered the room with her laptop computer.

"Guys, I hacked into Robotnik's computer. We've got a problem," Sonia said.

"You too?" Manic asked sarcasticly looking at Sonic angrely. Sonia eyed Manic wierdly.

"Manic, unless you have to go to the bathroom or take a shower, you have to keep your cloths on," Sonia said.

Manic just growled. He walked to the floor by the walls to get his stuff.

Sonic walked to Sonia.

"So, what's old buttnik up to now?" Sonic asked.

"Something about... where's your medallion, Sonic?" Sonia asked. Manic called while getting his stuff.

"I have it," Manic said holding up Sonic's medallion from his neck. "Want me to heave it at you, Sonic?" Manic asked rudely. Before Sonic could answer, Manic threw the medallion HARD at Sonic. It hit Sonic's forehead giving him a bump.

"Ow, Manic," Sonic said.

"Anyway, take a look at this," Sonia said.

The three gathered around, even though Manic was putting on his fanny pack.

"It says that Robotnik made a blue portal called the Dimentional Matter Displacer. He can grab humans from the planet of Earth and bring them here on Mobius," Sonia said. Manic put on his vest while watching the screen showing the coordinates to the portal.

"Has anyone been captured from Earth yet?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, only one. It's a red haired boy named Ryan Perreault. He plans to robotosize him, and if it works he'll get more humans!" Sonia said shockingly.

"Where is this boy Ryan so we can bust him out?" Manic said while bent over putting on his socks.

"The computer hacked into the security systems. Ryan was planned for robotosization, but on the way... he escaped!" Sonia said.

"Say what?" Sonic said. Manic sprung up.

"To where?" Manic asked.

"We don't know. He could be somewhere out in Robotropolice," Sonia said.

"Well then let's find him!" Sonic said. He leapped into action and ran out the door.

"Sonic! Wait!" Sonia called but it was too late, Sonic was already gone.

Sonia clised her computer and ran after Sonic. Manic was hoppong on one foot behind Sonia while tying his second shoe. He's nearly fully dressed now.

Sonia stood at the edge of the door worriedly for Sonic. Manic ran out and stood next to her while putting his medallion around his neck.

"Could you help me with me earings, Sonia?" Manic asked. Without responding, Sonia took one of Manic's earing and stared putting it in Manic's piercing hole.

"Where in this city could he be?" Manic asked.

"You know Sonic, he could be at a chili dog stand," Sonia asked getting ready to put in the second earing.

"No, I mean Ryan," Manic asked.

"I don't know, I just hope he might be alright," Sonia said finishing with Manic's earing.

***

Meanwhile, Ryan is running, running, running. He's running down an empty street panting and sweating.

He stops at the edge of a ruble building and stands there for a while. He closes his eyes and remembers training memories.

He can now see his point of view standing at the edge of a helicopter with a rope. Then he slides down the rope rapidly into a forrest.

Now he can see his view running through a forest with a painball gun while running with a few teenagers dressed in army camoflague. He can hear a lot of painball shots the farther he ran.

Next, he sees himself standing in front of a horizomtal pole, which was a pull-up bar. Standing next to it is a teenager dressed in military camoflague with a clipboard.

"Come on, Perreault, let me see how much you can do," the teen in the uniform said.

"Yes, Sergeant," Ryan said. He grabbed the bar and began doing pull- ups with ease.

Ryan opened his eyes and he noticed he's standing next to the ruble building in Robotropolice. He frowns knowing he's not in those places he just dreamed of. Even though they were his flashbacks of stuff he really did, he wished he was doing it all again. He is a Sonic fan and he would like to meet Sonic and the gang, but he also wished he was either flying a helicopter or running miles through the desert carrying 50 pounds on his back.

He didn't realize that the building next to him had a few SWAT Bots.

Ryan heard metal in the building and turned to see the SWAT Bots, but the SWAT Bot's don't notice him yet.

Ryan turned to run, but something held him back on his foot. He looked down and noticed his foot was stuck between some ruble!

"Shit," Ryan whispered. Bad thing is, the three SWAT Bots heard him and all three turned and saw Ryan! Ryan turned and saw the SWAT Bot's starring at him.

The Bots began running out of the building toward him.

Ryan pulled on his leg to break his foot free, but it remained stuck.

The Bots were out of the building and began running to the stuck Ryan.

Ryan tugged and tugged, but his foot wouldn't budge.

Not far away, Sonic was running at his super sonic speed. Ryan heard it as if a fighter jet was flying, except on the ground. He knew what it was.

Sonic stopped behind the three SWAT Bots.

"Hey, boltbrains! Over here!" Sonic called. The Bots turned their attention to Sonic which gave Sonic a view of Ryan. Sonic waved.

"Hi, you must be Ryan Perreault," Sonic said.

"How did you know my name?" Ryan asked.

Sonic jumped up and ran around a SWAT Bot making it dizzy and soon colapsing.

"Oh, my sister hacked into Robotnik's computer and learned about a boy captured from a portal," Sonic said. He ran under a SWAT Bot's legs and flung the bot in the air. It hit the ground and exploded.

"You're Sonic the Hedgehog, right?" Ryan said.

"Yeah, how did you know my name?" Sonic asked. Before Ryan could answer, the last SWAT Bot grabbed Sonic by the neck and lifted him up. Sonic began to choke.

Next thing Sonic knew, a bullet shot out of nowhere and hit the bot square in the face. The bot fell backwards and went offline causing it to release Sonic. Sonic looked at Ryan and saw him holding a barette which was pointed to where the bullet shot. Ryan shot that bullet.

Sonic lifted his eyebrow.

"Nice shooting," Sonic said.

"Thanks," Ryan said lowering his gun.

"Again, how do you know me?"

"Well, who DOESN'T know you?"

"I can understand a Mobian, but you're from Earth, are you?"

"You know a lot about me. What else do you know?"

"I know that you're a red-head, you live on Earth and was taken here by a Dimentional Matter Displacer which two of Robotnik's people captured you, you escaped, your planned to get robotosized if you didn't... and that your foot is stuck."

"Well, that's the jist of me."

"Yeah, but how do you know me?"

Before Ryan could answer, a pink motorcycle and a red hoverboard are driving to them. They stopped showing Sonia and Manic.

"Dude, you found him," Manic said to Sonic.

"You were looking for me, Manic?" Ryan asked.

"You know my brother's name too?" Sonic asked with a take.

"Yeah, and I know your sister's name is Sonia," Ryan said pointing to Sonia.

"How do you know us?" Sonic asked.

"On my planet Earth there is an animated television series called "Sonic Underground" and you three star in it. Most of your adventures are on that show, like when you three broke into Robotnik's fortress to get the royal hedgehog book so you can get to Mobigypt and meet Ahmanrahby," Ryan said, "I'm an your fan."

"You know about that?" Sonia asked.

"And you're a fan of us?" Manic asked.

"Yup, me and over 10 million people on Earth. I know a lot about you three. I know about your mother Queen Alenna, the Oracle of Delphius who gave the prophacy, Robotnik, Sleet, Dingo, your friends Cyrus and Trevor, Robotropolice which was once Mobotropolice, Sanctuary, the robotosizer, everything. I even know about your rock 'n roll band! Nice songs, guys."

"Well, thanks," Manic said.

"And I know that my foot is still stuck. Can you guys give me a hand?" Ryan said tugging at his foot.

Sonic reached in and twisted Ryan's foot to free it from the ruble.

"Thanks," Ryan said.

"Well, Ryan, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?" Sonia asked.

"Sure, but I need to rest. I had a very hard day," Ryan said.

"Sure, just try not to let go," Sonic said as he grabbed Ryan's wrist. Instantly, the four ran, drove and boarded away with Ryan in tow.
