Chapter 03: "Nightmare Creature"
Day 2
Station Square
7:01 P.M.
Sonic was having dinner at the local burger shop with his new
friend, Nellie Stargazer, and his new companion, a little light
blue chao. Bane Shadow, Nellie's cameraman, had called it quits for
the day and went on home. Nellie was excited to be with Sonic. She
had never met royalty before. Sonic's chao was happily munching
on a bit of chilidog that Sonic had been eating. Nellie adored
Sonic for his kindness. Sonic had fallen head-over-heels for Nellie.
Sonic walked out with Nellie, hand-in-hand, with the chao on
Sonic's head, after dinner was over.
"I'm really glad to of met you, Nellie..." Sonic said.
"Please, call me Shalita Ranay. Nellie is my reporter name."
she replied.
Sonic grinned from ear to ear, and nearly fainted when she
kissed his cheek.
Brrrring! Rrrring!
Shalita sighed as she pulled a cell phone from her pocket.
"Nellie Stargazer.....oh hey Miles! What's wrong....? Oh
my.....yeah, I'll be there a-sap. Bye sweetie."
Shalita looked at Sonic as she clicked off her cell phone.
"Sorry, that was my nephew Miles. Appartently someone broke into
the hangar this afternoon. I better take care up it..."
"Bye...Shalita..." Sonic waved, half-heartedly.
Shalita, sensing Sonic's loneliness, called out. "I'll see
you tommorrow morning, at the hotel!"
Sonic grinned. "It's a date!"
It's a date.....it's a date! Sonic was a-flutter with
excitement. Okay, hedgehog, calm down, it's only being friendly....
Sonic's chao cooed with happiness as Sonic was happy. He ran down
the street in a burst of speed. He held the chao in his hands as he
ran, gaining speed to run and dash off the side of buildings. He
dashed to the top of a building, and stop for a moment, as a
breeze hit him in the face. "Oh yeah!" he cried. "This is
happenin!"
The night silence shattered, snapping Sonic out of his daze,
and he snapped his head down.
"Hmm?" he wondered as police cars screeched through the
street, with their sirens on. The sirens disturbed Sonic's chao as
he started crying. Sonic tried to calm it down. "Shhh...it's
okay...."
The chao started to calm down, but immediately cried again as
a news chopter flew by, followed by a pink light.
Fed up, Sonic vaulted from the building, the crying chao in
his hands.
"What's up?" he wondered, as he took off after the cars.
Police cars had blocked up the courtyard that was in front of
City Hall. A creature made entirely of water landed on the roof
of the building. A SWAT team started surrounding the building,
their guns loading.
"We have you completely surrounded. Surrender yourself!" the
captian yelled into the megaphone.
The crerature leaped from the roof of the building to the ground.
"Ready men?" The captian called. "Fire!"
The police started shooting at the creature, and it seemed to
take every shot without even a flinch. The bullets that was shot
into it dropped to the cement.
The captian backed off. "Oh no! Our weapons are useless!
Retreat! Everyone, FALL BACK!"
The captian fired two final shots at he backed up and ran
behind the police cars that were blocking the courtyard entrance.
Up in the sky, the news choptor hovered over the scene. Bane
Shadow was filming the scene while Shalita was reporting it.
"I'm Nellie Stargazer live at City Hall, where a terrifying
monster was confronted by Station Square police. Actions taken
against the creature have failed and police have retreated behind
the man-made barrier they created with their vehicles. Is there
ANYthing they can do to stop this beast?"
A shout from the top of one of the squad cars caught the
pilot's attention, as he shone his spotlight over in that direction.
"Wait just a moment folks, there's someone down there!
It's...YES! It's Prince Sonic, the very one that had arrived in
our fair city just hours before. And he's about to confront the
monster himself!"
Which is exactly what Sonic had in mind as he set his chao
just behind the barrier. He had leaped on top of the car.
"Yeah! This'll be fun!" he thought as he leaped from the
car to just in front of the monster.
The monster thought he heard the cries of a baby chao
coming from the hedgehog just moments before he entered the
make-shift arena. It immdediately attacked Sonic, throwing a
weak slap to Sonic in the face.
Sonic coughed and backed up as he reailized. "That thing's
made of WATER!"
If it's one thing Sonic couldn't stand, it's WATER. The
monster attempted to slap Sonic again, but Sonic leaped up and
curled into a ball, mainly to avoid the slap. He didn't know he
was heading straight for its head...
Sonic's spines connected to something soft and squishy in the
head of the monster. When Sonic bounced away from it, he landed
on his feet and saw it melting into a puddle. Sonic smirked and
realized he found a weak spot in this seemingly unstopable
monster. Sonic frowned when it reformed again. Sonic eyes
something pink floating in its head, just behind its eyes. A
brain.
"Eeeeyuck! I hate water! Espeically water with a brain!"
Sonic made a face.
The thing started spinning in a circle, slapping its arms
around him. Sonic leaped up above him and went into a spin-dash,
and smacking right into its brain again. It melted into a puddle,
slid a distance and reformed.
"Care to try that agin, Ugly?" Sonic taunted. This creature
decided to try something from a SAFE distance. It leaped up
high onto one of the flag poles, and without warning, shot an
arm out at Sonic. Direct hit in the face, Sonic slid a distance
as the creature leaped from the flagpole to finish off the blue
hedgehog.
As a last minute decision, Sonic touched his medallion that
he wore around his neck, and a gutair appeared in his hands.
The creature never saw what hit him as Sonic made direct
contact with its brain. The creature melted into a puddle, and
didn't reform.
Sonic looked to the others who were watching, then down
to the puddle. "I'll play with you some other time!" he laughed,
giving the thumbs up. A cheer started to arrise from the police,
and from the news choptor. Sonic looked up, and waved to Shalita.
Shalita waved back. "This is a turn of events!" Shalita cried,
blowing a kiss to Sonic. "Prince Sonic has actually defeated the
beast!"
Suddenly, Shalita gave a yelp and pointed as the puddle
started slithering away. Sonic, no longer afraid of it, ran after
it. "Where you going, you big drip?" Sonic called out as the
creature slipped into the sewer.
Rain started to fall as the police started conducting a
manhunt in the sewers for the creature. The chopper landed as
Sonic ran over and picked up the chao, who finally stopped crying.
Shalita ran to him and hugged Sonic. "I'm glad you're alright!"
she smiled.
"Aww...it wasn't much..." Sonic smiled, his gutair turning
back into a medallion. "I thought you were heading home?"
"I was, until I got a call from my boss to follow the
police. Bane had already been called."
Bane ran over to Sonic and shook Sonic's hand.
"Congratulations, bud! You did SWELL out there!"
"Yeah, let's get out this rain before I get soaked." Sonic said.
As the 4 headed towards Station Square Hotel, a figure
stood on top of City Hall, watching.
"You know nothing, fool." he growled. "It's Chaos. The
God of destruction."
The man laughed as it continued to rain.
