Chaos Control
Chapter 4
Author's Note: Hairy Gregory was asking why the Station Square police didn't call the army to take care of the robot rampaging through Station Square. Well, the best explanation I can come up with is that they just didn't think to do so. After all, on the show, Eggman had attacked Station Square many times and each time, they never bothered to call the army or air force or any form of military back up. They, instead, just let Sonic and his friends do all the work.
Sonic ran through the forest at fast speeds leaving nothing but a blue blur behind. In fact, he was moving so fast that the girls and Tails were struggling to keep up with the super fast hedgehog. The girls stayed low to the ground as they followed Sonic. They didn't know where they were going but they figured they must be getting close. After passing a few neighborhoods and streets, Sonic led them to a huge mansion near the outskirts of Station Square. The mansion was a glamorously white mansion, like the ones millionaires live in. The building was surrounded by a large brick wall but Sonic effortlessly leaped over the wall and Tails easily flew over the wall as did the girls as well. After making it over the wall, they all landed on a concrete backyard with a large swimming pool in it. The girls were amazed at the beautiful mansion before them. The mansion looked even more beautiful now that they were over the wall.
"Wow, what a beautiful mansion." said Blossom in envy. "Are you and Tails millionaires?" Sonic and Tails laughed at the statement.
"No, we just share this home with a kid name Christopher Thorndyke." said Tails. "His parents are rich which is why Chris lives in a mansion. We'll take you inside so you can meet Chris."
Tails and Sonic led the girls to the other side of the backyard so they could enter through the sliding glass doors in the back. When Sonic opened the door, they were startled to see a tall man standing in front of the door. The man wore an all black suit with a gray tie. He had short black hair and he wore thin glasses. He stared at Sonic with a stern stare that made the man look like he didn't have a sense of hummer anywhere in him.
"Good afternoon, Sonic." said the man politely.
"Hello, Mr. Tanaka." replied Sonic. "Is Chris home?"
"Why yes, he's in the living room." said Mr. Tanaka. Mr. Tanaka stepped aside and watched Sonic and Tails walk in. His expressionless stare focused on the girls as they flew in, giving them a bit of an uneasiness from his stare.
"Who is that?" asked Blossom to Sonic.
"That's Mr. Tanaka." said Sonic. "He's the butler here."
"Is he always that serious?" asked Buttercup.
"Yep." said Sonic and the conversation stopped there.
Sonic led the girls into what appeared to be a living room with a couch, some lamps and other fancy display pieces. Hanging on the wall was a flat widescreen television. On the couch, they saw a boy digging through his back pack and standing next to him was a much older man. The boy looked to be about twelve years old with lots of brown hair that stuck up everywhere. He wore a red and white shirt over a dark gray long sleeve shirt and he wore a pair of blue jeans and some tennis shoes. The old man next to the boy wore a white lab coat and had a head full of gray hair that was just as messy as the boy's. The boy and the old man didn't notice Sonic and the others walk in because they were still looking through the boy's back pack and they had their backs to them. Eventually the boy pulled out what appeared to be a hand held computer and said triumphantly, "I thought I had put it in here."
"Good thing you have found my palm pilot." said the old man who took the computer and put it in his pocket.
"Hey Chris, I got some new friends I would like for you to meet." said Sonic. The boy turned around, revealing his dark blue eyes. The old man also turned around and noticed Sonic and Tails but most of all, he noticed the girls who were floating behind Sonic and Tails.
"These three are some friends we met while we were out." explained Sonic.
"Hi there." said the boy with a smile as he walked over to the girls. "My name's Christopher Thorndyke and this is my grandfather." Chris pointed to the old man with his thumb, indicating that he was Chris's grandfather. The old man bent over to shake Blossom's hand.
"Hello, I'm Professor Chuck Thorndyke." said the old man. As Blossom shook Chuck's hand, she noticed that under Chuck's lab coat was a pair of brown pants and a lime green shirt with a blue horizontal stripe across the middle.
"Hello, I'm Blossom." said Blossom. "These are my sisters, Bubbles and Buttercup. We're the Powerpuff Girls."
"Powerpuff Girls?" said Chris.
"Have you heard of us?" asked Blossom.
"Yes, I have." said Chris. "You're those little girls with the super powers."
"That's us." said Bubbles.
"Super powers, huh." said a voice. The girls turned around and they noticed another non-human creature walk in. At first, the girls thought he was a hedgehog, like Sonic but this individual was different than Sonic. He was red in color but he had some skin colorations around the mouth. He had a long muzzle and dark purple eyes. He had quills on his head but his quills hung loosely on his head like Jamaican braids. Upon his chest was a symbol that looked like a white crescent moon that was on it side. He wore red and yellow shoes and white gloves. The gloves each had two large spikes protruding out of them and both of the spikes were on the knuckles.
Sonic smiled at the visitor and said, "Well, Knuckles, didn't expect you here."
"Knuckles?" said Bubbles.
"That's right." said the red creature. "My name is Knuckles the Echidna and if what I heard is correct, then you three are the Powerpuff Girls."
"That is correct." said Blossom. "Are you a friend of Sonic's?"
"Yeah, you can say that." said Knuckles with a half smile.
"Why do they call you Knuckles?" asked Buttercup. Knuckles rolled his right hand into a fist, showing off his two spikes on his knuckles.
"That's it?" said Buttercup. "So what if you got spikes on your knuckles."
"Those spikes may be small but they are powerful weapons." said Sonic.
Suddenly, from another room, they heard the voice of a women calling out, "Oh Chris, where are you."
"I'm right here, Ella, in the living room." called out Chris. The women (assumably Ella) spoke up again but this time, her voice grew louder as she spoke, indicating that she was walking towards the room. "Amy and I had discovered this new recipe for cookies and we thought you would like to try one." A nearby door from across the room opened and out stepped a rather fat women. She had curly brown hair and lots of red lipstick on. She wore a sky blue dress with a white apron over it. She came in carrying a bowl of cookies but when she noticed the girls (who were hovering off the ground) she shouted out in surprise and dropped the bowl of cookies.
"I must be seeing things." said the women. The girls also noticed another individual walking in after the women. She too was carrying a bowl full of cookies but unlike the fat women, this one was not human. She appeared to be a hedgehog like Sonic but her coloration was pink with some skin color around the arms and mouth. She had green eyes (like Sonic) and her spikes were combed neatly down her head, like hair and a red band of some kind was on top of her head. Like Sonic, she too wore white gloves and she also wore some gold wrist bands. She also wore a red dress with a short skirt and red boots with a white line running across the two boots.
The pink hedgehog stared in amazement at the Powerpuff Girls.
"Who's this, Sonic?" asked the pink hedgehog. The girls once again introduced themselves.
"I'm Blossom."
"Bubbles."
"Buttercup."
"Aw, what cute names." said the pink hedgehog. "My name is Amy Rose and this is Ella." Amy introduced the girls to the chubby women who was Ella. Ella took in a few breaths to calm herself down from the shock.
"Sorry if we startled you, Ella." said Bubbles. "Let me help you clean those up." Bubbles flew down to the floor to help Amy pick up the cookies.
"Why thank you, deary." said Ella. "Sorry I overreacted when I saw you."
"That's okay, people often are surprised to see us when they first meet us." said Blossom.
"So all you guys live here?" asked Buttercup.
"Yes, we all do." said Chris. "I encountered Sonic and his friends some time ago and I offered them to stay here."
"However, I don't see everyone here." said Sonic looking around the room. "Where's Cream and Cheese?" The girls were rather surprised by the question. At first, they thought that Sonic was hungry and was asking for some food until Amy said, "I saw them near the garden."
"Thanks, Amy." said Sonic. "Follow me, girls." The girls weren't sure where Sonic was taking them but they followed him none-the-less and the others were also coming outside as well.
Sonic led the girls into the backyard and to a wide field along the side of the mansion. In the grass, the girls noticed two individuals. One of the two was sitting on the grass working with something in her hands. She appeared to be a humanoid rabbit who was covered in light orange fur with some dark orange around the tip of her ears, around her eyes, and along the top of her head and white fur was around her muzzle. She had soft brown eyes and wore white gloves. She also wore a red dress and shoes that were yellow and orange-red in color. Around her neck was what appeared to be a sky blue tie (which was an odd thing for a girl to wear) but it was spread out along her chest making an upside-down "V" shape. Right next to her was a smaller creature. It stood one foot tall and it was humanoid in shape. He had sky blue skin with some yellow on his hands, feet, and the top of his head. His head was tear drop shaped and a small yellow ball hovered over his head. The small creature had dark blue eyes and the only clothing he wore was a red bow tie. On his back were a set of pink butterfly wings which he continuously flapped in order to remain hovering off the ground.
Sonic approached the rabbit (followed by everyone else who had followed him) and said to her, "What do you have there?" The rabbit looked up at Sonic and said to him, "Oh hello, Sonic. I was just making another flower crown." The rabbit stood up from the ground and showed Sonic a round head band made out of flowers that was strung together. The rabbit noticed the girls and said to them, "Oh, we have visitors?" With a smile, the rabbit introduced herself. "My name is Cream and this is my friend, Cheese." Cream pointed to the little blue creature, indicating that he was Cheese.
"Chow chow." said Cheese.
"Aww, he's so cute." said Bubbles. "My name is Bubbles, these are my sisters Blossom and Buttercup."
"Hello, Bubbles, welcome to our neighborhood." said Cream. She took the flower crown that she had and placed it onto Bubbles's head.
"Is this for me?" asked Bubbles. Cream nodded her head.
"Thank you." said Bubbles, admiring the crown.
"What brings you to Station Square?" asked Cream
"That's what I would like to know." said Knuckles. "I've never seen them around here before."
"Well, we're out of town." said Blossom. "We live in a city called Townsville. We'll explain it to you all inside."
The girls led Sonic and his friends inside and they explained to them that they fight crime in Townsville, they're super heroes that save the world from evil, they came here to find Mojo and they, instead, ran into the robot who Mojo had unleashed into the city.
"But who is this Mojo Jojo?" asked Amy.
"He's an evil monkey scientist who wants to take over the world but we don't know why he came here." said Blossom.
"He was after the Chaos Emerald." said Sonic.
"What? He was after the emerald?" said Professor Thorndyke in surprise.
"What emerald?" asked Bubbles.
"The Chaos Emerald." explained Sonic. "He was trying to steal the Chaos Emerald from the laboratories but I managed to take the emerald and left him to be captured by the police."
"And what does this emerald do?" asked Blossom.
"It's a tool of ultimate power." explained Sonic. "Do you wish to see it?"
"Certainly." said Blossom.
"Just follow me." said Sonic.
The girls followed Sonic, Tails, and Professor Thorndyke through the mansion to a steel door with one of those card key locks. Professor Thorndyke pulled out a card and moved it through a slit in the lock. The red light on the lock turned to green and there was a "beep" sound as the door unlocked. They followed Professor Thorndyke into the room behind the metal door and the girls were amazed to see that it was a large garage of some kind. Within the garage, they saw three air vehicles. One was a standard plane with a front propeller and a blue paint job. The second was a jet air plane that was thrice the size of the other plane and it was silver in coloration. The third vehicle was larger than jet plane but it was a helicopter with a blue paint job. Each of the vehicles had a symbol imprinted on it. A symbol that resembled two fox tails. The girls stared in amazement at the vehicles.
"You like them?" asked Tails. "I built them myself."
"You built all of them by yourself?" said Blossom in surprise.
"Yes." said Tails. "They are my own design. The small plane over there was the first, I call it 'The Tornado." Tails pointed at the blue air plane indicating it was "The Tornado." "The larger plane is a more advanced version of The Tornado. I call it 'The X Tornado." And the helicopter is something I just invented last weekend. It's the first helicopter I had ever build and I call it 'The X Helicopter." The girls were amazed at the design of the planes and were even more amazed that Tails could build them all by himself
"Hey, aren't you guys coming." said Sonic. The girls didn't notice that Professor Thorndyke and Sonic were at the other end of the lab, waiting for the girls and Tails to catch up. Taken by surprise, the girls and Tails flew over to Sonic and Professor Thorndyke who were right next to a safe. Professor Thorndyke dialed the combination into the safe and pulled the handle. When the safe was opened, the girls saw a yellow emerald inside. Sonic pulled out the emerald and showed it to the girls.
"This is a Chaos Emerald." explained Sonic. "This was the same emerald that Mojo was trying to steal."
"What do they do?" asked Blossom.
"By drawing power from the Chaos Emeralds, you can enhance your own abilities." explained Sonic.
"Wow." said Bubbles in amazement. "How many are there?"
"There are seven emeralds all together." said Sonic. "And it is believed that who ever can possess all seven emeralds would have the power to bring peace and prosperity to the world, or destroy it in an instant which is why the Chaos Emeralds must not fall into the wrong hands."
"Wow, no wonder Mojo is after the emeralds." said Buttercup.
"Yes." said Sonic. "Myself and the others have been looking for the emeralds so we can use them to find a way back home."
"Back home?" asked Bubbles.
"Yes, for you see, we come from another dimension." said Sonic.
"Another dimension?" said Blossom in surprise. "How did you get here?"
"It all started in our dimension when Dr. Eggman stole the seven Chaos Emeralds." said Sonic.
"Dr. Eggman?" said Buttercup. "Who's he?"
"He's an evil scientist from our dimension." explained Tails.
"He's been wanting to take over the world for some time and he's been after the Chaos Emeralds in order to grant him the power to do so." explained Sonic. "He also had kidnapped Cream and Cheese and I had to go into Eggman's base in order to take back the emeralds and save Cream and Cheese. Eggman had the emeralds all in a large device, designed to contain their power but the machine was damaged in the fight and as a result, it produced a large Chaos Control that transported all of us to this dimension."
"How terrible." said Bubbles.
"Chaos Control?" asked Blossom, interrupting Bubbles. "What's that?"
"It's the phenomena where the power of the Chaos Emeralds is used." said Sonic. "It can be done with machinery but it also can be done using a special gift. I myself possess a rare gift to be able to conjure the power of the Chaos Emeralds. All I have to do is hold a Chaos Emerald in my hand and I can tap into its power for a short time. Why don't I give you a demonstration." Sonic held the Chaos Emerald in his hand and said, "Chaos Control!" Sonic was then surrounded by a strange energy that caused Sonic to glow slightly. The girls stared in amazement as Sonic was charged by the Emerald. Once the demonstration was over, Sonic then quickly released the emerald's power causing him to stop glowing.
"I can also summon Chaos Control from a short distance away from an emerald, but it requires some concentration." said Sonic. "Also, the more emeralds I conjure power from, the more powerful I become.
"That's so cool." said Blossom as Sonic placed the emerald back into the safe. Suddenly, a thought occurred to Blossom.
"Wait a minute." said Blossom. "You said all of you went to this dimension. Does that mean that Eggman is here, too?"
"Yes and he now wants to rule this world." said Sonic. "After when we were transported to this dimension, the emeralds scattered everywhere. So far, this is the only emerald we have obtained but Eggman has two emeralds of his own leaving four other emeralds unaccounted for."
"And if more of the emeralds are around here, that means that Mojo might be here to find them." said Blossom.
"What are we going to do?" asked Bubbles.
"We best stay here in Station Square so we can be close if Mojo strikes." said Blossom. "Is it okay if we stay here?"
"Of-course." said Professor Thorndyke. "The mansion has plenty of room and I'm sure Chris wont mind."
"Great, just let me call our dad and I'll tell him what where doing." said Blossom.
After they left the lab, Blossom went over to a phone to call the Professor while Bubbles and Buttercup searched the house some more. They eventually came into the kitchen where they found Cream and Cheese rummaging through the refrigerator. Cream smiled at the girls as they came into the room.
"Hello, I'm just grabbing myself a snack." said Cream. She closed the refrigerator and placed the plate she was holding onto a table. Buttercup looked at the plate and realized that it was filled with carrots, lettuce, and other assortments of vegetables.
"This is all rabbit food." said Buttercup.
"Well what do you think I am?" said Cream sarcastically. At this point, Blossom had flown into the kitchen.
"Well, I told the Professor we were staying here for awhile." said Blossom. Cream smiled upon seeing Blossom entering the kitchen.
"It's amazing how you can hover off the ground so effortlessly like." said Cream. "I can fly myself but not as effortlessly as you three."
"You can fly? How?" asked Bubbles.
"Like this." said Cream. Cream began to flap her large rabbit ears like wings and amazingly, she actually levitated off the ground by her ears.
"Wow, you can fly by your ears?" said Buttercup in amazement.
"Mmm-hmm." said Cream indicating "yes." "It's a trick my mother taught me." Cream lowered herself to the ground and began to eat a carrot stick from the plate. Blossom noticed Cheese, who was sitting on the counter eating an apple, and a thought came to her.
"Cream, what is Cheese?"
"What do you mean?" asked Cream.
"I mean what's his species?" said Blossom.
"Well, Cheese is a chao." explained Cream.
"A chao?" said Buttercup surprised.
"Yes, they're common in our dimension and they make great pets." said Cream.
"Aw, they're so cute, I wish we had some in our dimension." said Bubbles. There was silence until Cream asked, "Do you really think Mojo is still here?"
"I would expect so." said Blossom. "I just wish I knew what he is doing right now."
Meanwhile, not far from the shores of Station Square, the mutated monkey in question had managed to steal a boat and was riding out to sea. It was a small motor boat, kind of like the ones you would rent for fishing in. He steered the boat towards a small island about 15 miles away from land. The island had a large tower on it that looked like a light house but the building was too large to be a light house and there was no light on top. The sun was beginning to set in the distance, causing the sky to turn orange and causing the large towering fortress to seem more dark and sinister. Mojo drove the boat upon the shore of the island and looked up at the tall tower with curiosity. As he did, two robots flew out of the top of the building. Both of the robots looked like huge robotic flies that were one yard long and two feet wide. They didn't have legs or large bug eyes but they did fly with buzzing wings and they had large cameras mounted to their fronts. The robots flew towards Mojo, stopping just inches from Mojo's face.
"What are you doing here on this island." said one of the robots with a buzzing voice. "This is the island of Dr. Eggman and you are not aloud here."
"I wish to speak with Eggman personally." said Mojo. There was a pause before the robot responded.
"Eggman does not wish to speak to you." said the robot. "Leave now or Eggman will destroy you where you stand." Mojo figured that the robot was capable of communicating with Eggman by radio so he said to the robots, "Well, tell Eggman that what I have to say to him involves the Chaos Emeralds." There was an even longer pause until the robot said, "Eggman will see you but first you must be scanned for weaponry." Mojo stood as still as a statue as the robots began to emit a laser light to scan Mojo with. The only object Mojo had with him was his lap top computer which he had in a bag strapped around his shoulder. All of Mojo weapons were left behind or destroyed at the police station. Once the scan was done, the robot said, "Scan complete, you may enter." Mojo followed the two robots into the fortress as they led him to Eggman.
The entire interior of the building was certainly marvelous, in Mojo's opinion. It was more advanced than Mojo's volcano observatory and it came with robots and computer systems everywhere. Mojo couldn't help but feel envious of Eggman's fortress. The two insect robots led Mojo to a room on the highest level of the building. The room itself was round in shape and, like the rest of the building, it too was filled with machines and computers. At the front of the room was a large chair seated in front of a large viewing screen.
"We have the visitor here for you." said one of the bug robots.
"Good, just leave him here so I can speak to him." said a voice from behind the chair. Because the chair was facing the viewing screen and away from Mojo, he couldn't see who it was who had spoken.
"Are you Dr. Eggman?" asked Mojo.
"Yes I am." said the man behind the chair. "My name is Dr. Robotnik but everyone calls me Dr. Eggman. I let you in here because you said you had something to tell me. Something that has to do with the Chaos Emeralds."
"Why yes." said Mojo. "I came here to ask for an alliance."
"An alliance, you say." said Dr. Eggman. "That is quite a proposal." Dr. Eggman stood up from his chair and faced Mojo, enabling Mojo a good look at Eggman. Mojo was surprised by Eggman's appearance, he was much taller (and fatter) than Mojo had imagined. Eggman was an obese man with a red and fancy coat on. The coat looked similar to what a rock star would ware. He also wore black pants with black boots and white gloves. Eggman was bald but what hair he lacked on his head, he made up by his oversized mustache that was orange in color and was very large for a mustache.
Eggman walked over to Mojo and asked him, "What makes you think that I would want to ally with you, who ever you are."
"My name is Mojo Jojo and like you, I too am an evil genius bent on taking over the world." said Mojo. "We also fancy the use of robots and we both have been repeatedly beatened by a meddlesome super hero or heroes. I also understand you are having troubles with a certain blue hedgehog."
"Gurr, you're right." said Eggman. "Sonic and his meddlesome friends have always stopped me in the past."
"I know the feeling." said Mojo. "I too have been repeatedly beaten by a group of heroes. A trio of little girls have been the cause of my failures." Eggman laughed hysterically at that remark.
"You can't defeat three little girls." said Eggman before bursting out into more fits of laughter.
"Hey, those are no ordinary little girls." growled Mojo. "Those girls are very powerful and I thought I could defeat them by stealing the Chaos Emeralds. Today, I had tried to steal my first Chaos Emerald but that meddlesome Sonic had defeated me and had taken the emerald."
"I hate it when that happens." said Eggman.
"This is why we should work together." said Mojo. "We both want the emeralds and we both have enemies stopping us from obtaining the emeralds so why not work with each other instead of against each other. We would be an unstoppable force and a force that can be reckoned with. Together, we'll crush both of our advisories and rule the world. What do you say to that?" Eggman rubbed his mustache in thought.
"You know, that sounds great." said Eggman. "Okay, Mojo, we will work together and collect the emeralds then crush our enemies and once they're gone, we'll rule the world."
"Excellent, but first, we must find the emeralds." said Mojo. "Where do you keep the emeralds that you have already?"
"They're right here." said Eggman as he pushed a button on a remote control. From out of a secret compartment from the floor, a glass case appeared revealing two Chaos Emeralds (one green, the other blue) that were inside. "And you say that Sonic has one of the emeralds, correct?"
"Yes." said Mojo. "That means that there are still four other emeralds that have not been found but together, we can obtain those emeralds and the one Sonic has."
"Together, no one can stop us." said Eggman. Both of the two villains laughed evilly at their alliance and they laughed at how the Powerpuff Girls and Sonic will finally be defeated.
