Chapter 2 - Talent Search for Love
By Ashura Hedgehog
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already done the disclaimers once. I'm not doing it again!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Within an hour of their decision of finding a girlfriend for the
distraught Ashura, the crew of the Satellite of Eggs are gone and were
heading for their home: Earth. They used Ryo-ohki as their mode of
escape (besides, the Death Egg Space Suit couldn't fit them all.)
"Well, gang. Ready to do this?" Sonic said.
"Heh, I agreed to go with you, NOT to find some girl!" Robotnik
said. "I'm going to find WHO threw me up on that Satellite and take
them out!"
"It's a waste of time." Vegeta said. "I'm just heading back home
and check on Bulma."
"Fine with us." Merc said.
"Whatever." Sonic said. He turned to Sasami, who was piloting
Ryo-ohki. "Hey, Sammy! We near Station Square?"
"Been over it for a few seconds." Sasami said.
"Sweet!" Sonic said, pulling out the airboard from the Shadow
crisis. "Teleport me to the top of Ryo-ohki!" At that, the hedgehog was
on top of the cabbit/ship, the airboard on his feet. "Catch ya on the
flip side!" With that, Sonic backflipped off the ship. "Station Square,
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IS BACK!!!! WHOOO-HOOO!" One thing came to the
others minds as he left.
"Showoff!" they said in unison. Pretty soon, the others began
leaving. Merc, Vegeta, and Trunks left for Satan City, and Robotnik,
Metal Sonic and Togepi headed in the direction of Gizmonics Institute,
where Deep Egg 13 was located. Sabian, Ayeka and Sasami headed in the
direction of the Masaki residence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As Sonic completed his fall, landing flawlessly on the ground,
he began sliding down the hill until he reached a cafe at the bottom of
the hill. As he screeched to a stop, he began regretting coming there,
as Amy Rose, a pink quilled hedgehog who has a bigger crush on Sonic
as Ayeka and Ryoko has on Tenchi.
"SONIC! YOU'RE HERE!" Amy screeched as she and a friend with her
saw the blue hedgehog. Her friend was a purple-quilled female
hedgehog, her head quills curled down like Amy's. She wore a blue
jacket, white tank-top, blue mini-skirt, and purple boots with buckles
on the ankles. Every few seconds, she would slighly flinch, as if she
was in pain.
"Uh....hi, Amez!" Sonic said as the pink quilled girl hugged him.
"Where have you been?! I missed ya!" Amy squeeled. Sonic pryed
her off him.
"Busy. That's all I'm gonna say." Sonic said. Then, he noticed
the other girl. "Hey, who's she?"
"Who, her?" Amy said, looking at her friend. "That's Crystallis.
She just came to Station Square."
"Pleased to meet you." Crystallis said, her voice weak, yet
innocent.
"Great! There's one!" Sonic said. This confused the girls.
"Wha...what do you mean?" Crystallis asked.
"Me and some of my other friends are looking for a girlfriend for
a pal of mine." Sonic said. "He was at the point of going insane and
we decided to find him one to pull him back."
"Is he nice?" Crystallis asked. Sonic nodded. "Is it okay to meet
him?"
"Sure! While we're at it, we'll try to find some other
canidates." Sonic said.
"Okay." Crystallis said, smiling. Amy waved as the two left her
behind.
"::sigh:: I wish I could help. Then again....," Amy said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gizmonics Institute.
Until the day Eggman moved in, the place was deserted. The one
place in the world where everyone was an inventor shut down a few
months after Dr. Forrestor released the Satellite of Love and allowed
himself to die and become a star baby. The reason of the shut down:
apparently, an ex-janitor by the name of Joel Robinson had slapped the
place with a HUGE lawsuit, siteing many things from unlawful
imprisonment to torture. Until a few hours after the "Kanashii no Imi"
showing, it was a perfect place for his operations. Now, Eggman wanted
it back and to take out whoever sent them there.
Arriving there, after a quick stop at Eggman Land to retrieve his
Egg Walker, Robotnik, Metal Sonic and Togepi had made their way to the
elevator leading to Deep Egg 13. As they elevator decended down the
shaft, some rock music began blaring in the speakers.
"Sure beats crappy elevator music." Eggman said.
[Mm-hmm.]Metal said, bobbing his head to the beat. As the
elevator reached the bottom, the two prepared to leave it guns blazing.
Instead, as they left, their jaws hit the ground in disbelief (Togepi
just giggled).
At the doorway was four people. The first was a old man with long
white hair and beard. He wore the worst yellow and black outfit in
existance. He had a cylinder-shaped hat with a red ribbon symbol with
the letters "RR" on it. The next was a young girl whose blonde hair
was put up as if she was imitating Bart Simpson. She wore a white dress
with red designs and a giant metal "jacket". The third was was pure
white man wearing a blue cloak and carrying his brain. The last was a
woman with curly blonde hair tied up in a bad ponytail.
"Well, I see the last tenant has come back." The girl said.
"Care for me to send him back to the Satellite?" the cloaked man
said to the woman.
"No. He could be useful." The woman said. She turned to the old
man. "Has the replacements been found?"
"Not yet. We just need to find the girl." he said.
"Good." the woman said. "Y'know, Ivo, you are welcome to join
our group."
"Fat chance!" Eggman said, pulling out a pistol. "You throw me
out of MY base, take it over, and NOW you want ME to join you?!"
"You took my beloved son's lab! I'm just here to get it back!"
the woman said. Eggman looked in shock.
"Your son...? That means you're...." Eggman said in shock.
[I never would have guessed....] Metal said
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours passed and the S.O.E crew was back on Ryo-ohki with
a number of hedgehog girls, including Crystallis and the stowed-away
Amy Rose. Merc had decided to bring along his new gal-pal, a blonde
angel named Angel (lame name, huh?). She already made a great
impression to the group by giving Vegeta a black eye and threating to
turn Sonic into a hedgehog-kabob.
"Man, I never knew women could be so violent!" Sonic said.
"That's nothing compared to Sara back where I live." Sabian said.
"She tries to kill any girl who even THINKS of getting near me!"
"Merc, so help me, if she attacks me again, she's dead!" Vegeta
said.
"Well, maybe if you hadn't called me a bimbo, I wouldn't have
punched you in the eye. I SHOULD have impaled you!" Angel said.
"Woah! Let's not start a fire fight in space." Trunks said
"::sigh:: I know those two are gonna be JUST like Ryoko and
Ayeka." Sasami said. Ryo-ohki meowed in responce. In no time flat, the
ship was back at the Satellite of Eggs. All those who hadn't seen it
before looked at it in awe. After a small tour of the place, the girls
were led to the bridge, where Ashura and Seiyuka were talking about
nothing in particular.
"Ah, I see the boys and girls are back in town!" Seiyuka said.
"Very funny." Merc said.
"Heh, I see you not only brought those girls, but you brought
yours, too, Merc." Ashura said, refering to Angel.
"Nice seeing you again, hog-boy." Angel said with a smirk. She
then noticed that Ashura had a disapproving look on his face. "Hey,
what's wrong?"
"Who in their right mind would think it was okay to bring a
batch of supermodel-wannabes to be my "girlfriend"?" Ashura said, very
annoyed.
"So? Maybe one of us will be your girlfriend?" one of the
hedgehog girls said, trying to cozy up to Ashura.
"Get lost. Now." Ashura said. That girl turned around, "humph"ed,
and left the bridge. "Everyone else, in a line." With that, the other
girls got in a line. Ashura went to each one of them and glanced at
them carefully. The replies were the same. "Nope. Nuh-uh. No way.
Forget it. Goodbye. You are the weakest link. He's in the corridor,
third door on the left." Amy Rose dashed out of the room. "Lessee, no.
No. Nope. No way, jose. Forget it, babe. What a SLUT!" Then, he got to
Crystallis, who was down on her knees, clutching her chest, obiviously
in serious pain. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Yuh-yes. I am fine." she replied.
"Like, why in the world would you help a piece of trash like
her?" one of the girls said. Ashura replied by pulling out the
Deathscythe Hell scythe, activating it and holding it by the girl's
neck.
"Anything like that again, and I'm making you flatter that
Ayeka." Ashura said. Ayeka, at that point, would have fried Ashura for
that remark, but seeing how the hedgehog girl deserved the threat, she
backed down. Ashura, then, turned his attention back to Crystallis.
"You sure you're okay? You look like you're in pain."
"Trust me." Crystallis said, clutching Ashura's right hand with
her left hand. At that moment, her pain stopped. She looked up at
Ashura and smiled. "See?" At that moment, Ashura got a good look at
Crystallis. His sky blue eyes met her dark purple eyes. He knew he had
found the perfect person.
"I think we found a winner, folks!" Sonic said, walking in with
Amy latched on to him.
"Oh, yeah." Sabian said. "But, uh, what do we do with the
others?"
"Simple, take Amy home and blast the others into oblivion!"
Angel said.
"For the way the acted, they should get blasted." Seiyuka said.
"Why not? We haven't gotten any good target practice since Team Rocket
came here." While Sasami pryed Amy off and helped her return to Station
Square, Vegeta, Trunks, Seiyuka and Sabian began enjoying their target
practice in outer space. While the others began preparing a room for
Crystallis, she and Ashura began getting to know each other more.
"Wow...heh,heh...I can't believe it." Crystallis said, blushing
slightly.
"What's that?" Ashura asked.
"Well, you're the first boy ever to act nice to me...." she said.
"What do ya mean?" Ashura said.
"Well, because of the pains, all the other boys I've known have
always called me a freak, helpless, baby,...." Crystallis said, nearly
at the verge of going through one of her pain spells again.
"Wow. I'm sorry they treat you that way, Cryst." Ashura said. "At
least here you won't hafta worry about people like that. Well, maybe
except for Vegeta." He chuckled at that. That got a small giggle out
of Crystallis. Not having noticing it at first, but since she had
removed her jacket, Ashura noticed a scar that went from her left
shoulder and apparently down her chest. "Ow, what happend to you?"
"Oh, this?" she said, pointing to the beginning of her scar.
"It's something I've had since I was little." She began pull off her
shirt to show him the rest.
"NO! DON'T!" Ashura shouted, grabbing her hands.
"Wha...what's wrong?" Crystallis asked. Then it dawned on her.
"You're just like the rest. You think that I'm a freak, huh?"
"What?! Nononononononono!" he said, waving his hands defensively.
"It's just that....well,...." He pinched his nose. "You were about to
show a bit too much skin." Crystallis blushed at that.
"Sorry." she said. "I didn't mean to."
"Hey, it's okay. Really!" Ashura said. Crystallis then began to
stare at Ashura. "Uh, what's wrong? Is there something on me?" She
shook her head. He got a bit worried. "Then mmmmMMMMMPPPPPPPHHHH!?!"
Before Ashura could finish, Crystallis had Ashura in a liplock. This
took him by surprise. So did Sonic and Ayeka, who came to tell their
new member that her room was ready.
"Ye-ow! Not even two hours and she's trying to give him the
tounge!" Sonic said. "As long as it isn't me and Amy, I'm cool with
it." Ashura, whose eyes were STILL open in shock, saw the two and his
eyes went so wide, they would have fallen out. When she released the
kiss, Ashura did the one thing he could do: faint.
"Uh, did I do something wrong?" Crystallis asked, conserned for
her new boyfriend.
"No." Ayeka said, giggling at that. "I'm just guessing that's his
first kiss." Ashura, still in a daze, nodded. "Anyway, we just came to
say your room is ready,....Crystallis, is it?" the hedgehog nodded.
"We better get the first time Romeo back on his feet!" Sonic
said. "We've prepared everything for him and Crysty's first date!"
"First WHAT?!?!" Ashura said, shooting straight up. "Sonic, tell
me you're joking!"
"Nope. 'Sides, who knows WHEN the fanfics will start, so we best
get it in while we can." Sonic said.
"I hate you." Ashura said. "::sigh:: When and where?"
"Lessee, tonight back in Station Square. It's a dinner and a
movie deal." he said.
"Whoopie. Cliche city. Why don't you guys just send the fics
we've read down to the theater while you're at it?" Ashura said,
sarcastically.
"Very funny, Ashura." Ayeka said.
"Fics? What are fics?" Crystallis asked. The three looked at her
in shock.
"Should we?" Ashura whispered.
"If we do, you're going in there, too." Sonic whispered back.
"We'll all go back in." Ayeka said. "Besides, we need all the
practice we can get."
"Okay. Let's do this." Ashura said. He turned to Crystallis.
"Well, looks like our 'date' is getting a change of lo-cal."
"What do you mean, Ashura?" Crystallis asked, as Ashura went over
to a computer and began typing something and hitting the enter key.
"Wha....what's going on?"
"We're getting you prepared for the future. Then, we'll have our
resident cook do our dinner." Ashura said. Crystallis didn't know what
he meant, but she went with it. At that, Ashura slammed down on all
three colored buttons, activating the Fanfic Sign.
"WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!?!" Sabian shouted as he and the
others raced in.
"It's a practice run for Crystallis!" Ashura yelled back.
"I guess it could be one for me, eh?" Angel said.
"Yeah, so let's move, cause we have FANFIC SIIIIIIIIIIIGN!"
Ashura shouted as the group dashed into the theater. The fics Ashura
chose were the ones the read before. It was smooth sailing for most
of the ride, until they got to the lemons. The first one got them real
sick. The second one, the theater screen got torn up AGAIN! All in all,
the newbies were ready for anything that was sent to them.
"Is that you guys go through up here?" Crystallis asked. The
group, except for Angel, nodded. "Pretty tough life."
"Yeah, but we make it through somehow." Sasami said.
"Now I see why Ashura nearly went insane. That
"Crap-nashii no Ikky" was just horrible!" Angel said, shuddering.
"Well, after that, I need to get something back into my stomach."
Sonic said. "Hey, Sammy. Wanna cook something with me?"
"Sure! While we're at it, we'll cook something for Ashura and
Crystallis!" Sasami said. As the two walked off, the others noticed the
Egg Light was flashing.
"Hey, Sonic and Sasami! Come back here! We're getting a
transmittion from Deep Egg 13!" Trunks shouted. As the two returned,
Seiyuka went and pushed the button. But, on the screen was NOT Dr.
Eggman, but an old man that Trunks, Vegeta and Merc reconised.
"DR. GERO?!?!" The three shouted.
"Ah, nice to meet you three again!" Gero said. "You're wondering
where the Eggman is, aren't you?" Everyone nodded. "Well, he's here and
back on our side!" As Gero stepped away, everyone saw the fat scientist
and his companions, along with three others. Ayeka, Sasami and Sonic
reconised the girl immediately.
"YUGI?!?!" The trio shouted.
"But, Metal Ryoko destroyed you!" Sonic said.
"You ever hear of teleportation, brillo-pad boy?" Yugi said.
Ashura reconised the last two.
"I don't believe it! If it isn't Pearl Forrestor and the Observer
himself!" he said. "What made you two come back to that dump?!"
"Simple, you miniscule simpleton." Observer said. "Because Ivo
Robotnik wasn't doing his job."
"Yeah, you just can't have people screwing around with delicate
work, you know." Pearl said. "But, now, we must prepare for the future
of the work my son started so long ago."
"Son?" Sabian asked.
"Yeah, she had a son named Clayton who died a while back doing
these things." Ashura said.
"First, we must get rid of those who pose a major threat to the
experiment." Pearl said. "Brain Guy, do your stuff!"
"My pleasure." Observer said. We walked over to the screen and
began bobbing his head real fast, the "whoo-whoo"ing sound
reverberating through the base. At the Satellite, Vegeta, Sasami,
Trunks, Ryo-ohki, and Sabian began feeling funny.
"Hey, what's going..." Trunks began to say before disappearing
along with the others with a pop.
"SASAMI! RYO-OHKI!" Ayeka shouted.
"SABIAN!" Sonic shouted, completely off-guard
"TRUNKS! VEGETA!" Seiyuka shouted. "BRING THEM BACK!"
"Ah, all in due time, dear. Now, for their replacements."
Observer said. Once again, the head bobbing and the SFX began again.
This time, two people and two robots appeared. The woman was about
19 years old, wearing a red multi-piece armor with a black two-piece
bikini under it. The man was about in his twenties, maybe thirties,
wearing a blue-green jumpsuit with the name "NELSON" on the tag.
The first robot was gold-and-black with a beak and a head net and black
odd-shaped eyes. The second was red, had a gumball machine for a head,
a toy barrel for a body and two non-working arms.
"Where the hell are we?" The gold robot asked.
"I'd say we're in a otaku's convention." the red robot said,
noticing the people there.
"I'd say we're somewhere we shouldn't." the girl said.
"I'd say Mrs. Forrrestor caught us." the man said, noticing who
was on the Viewscreen.
"Right you are, Nel-stoner." Pearl said.
"Waitaminute! If he knows who she is, that means...."Ashura said.
before realizing who some of their new pals are. "You three must be
Mike Nelson, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo!"
"In the flesh, porcupine!" Tom said.
"I'm a hedgehog." Ashura said. Merc went over to the girl.
"And who might you be?" he asked.
"My name is Sara. You happen to know where Sabian is?" she said.
"Yeah, down there!" Merc said, pointing to the screen. Sara
pulled out her sword and began to charge the screen before an energy
field blocked her path. "Hmm. That wasn't there before."
"Now for the coup de grace!" Pearl said. "Yugi, your turn!"
"My pleasure, Ma'am." she said. With just a thought, the
Satellite of Eggs began changing shape. All of a sudden, the Satellite
of Eggs, a miniature Death Egg, had become....dog-boned shaped. It
had become the Satellite of Love.
"Oh, joy." Crow said, unethusiastically. "We're home."
"Oh, boy. Welp, looks like we're roomies!" Mike said. "C'mon,
guys. Let's see if our rooms are still here." As Mike and the bots
left, the others broke their silence by screaming their heads off in
anger.
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! I SWEAR I WILL _KILL_ THEM ALL!"
Seiyuka shouted, pounding the ground in anger.
"I'll never get home again, I'll never see my friends, my family,
NO ONE!" Crystallis said, on the verge of tears.
"I JUST WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING!!!" Merc said, punching a hole in
the wall behind him.
"Ow..." Sonic said, wincing because of what happened.
"Look, guys. It'll be fine. We'll make it." Ashura said.
"Oh, sure! You're the only one that has a piece of home with
you!" Sara said, putting her sword to his neck. "Because of those
freaks, I'll never be able to see Sabian again!"
"Woahwoahwoah!" Angel said. "Look, if Merc, Ayeka and the others
could survive something like this, then WE can!"
"Yeah! Besides, we have veterans here! We have the originals
here! We can do this!" Ashura said.
"That's right. Perhaps, while we're at it, we'll find a way to
free the others." Ayeka said.
"So, who's with me?!" Ashura asked. At first, only Merc, Angel
and Sonic advanced. "Sara, Seiyuka, Crystallis. You joining us?" The
first to advance was Sara.
"I'll do it. I'll do it for Sabian." she said. Next to advance
was Seiyuka.
"I'll do ANYTHING to have my Trunks back." Seiyka said. All was
left was Crystallis.
"C'mon, Cryst. It'll be okay." Ashura said.
"A..are you going to be in there?" she asked.
"Of course! I enjoy these things!" Ashura said. Crystallis slowly
advanced towards Ashura, then wrapped her arms around him.
"Then, I'm with you." she said. Ashura returned the hug.
"Thanks, Crystallis. It really means alot." Ashura whispered.
"Heh, think Eggman and his new crew will get away trying to
seperate us from the ones we love and attempting to break us that way?
Yeah, right! We're stronger than that!" Sonic said. At that point,
the fanfic sign decided to blare.
"DAMN! ALREADY?! Tom shouted as he, Crow and Mike returned to the
bridge.
"Oh, WE GOT.....uh, what would this be?" Mike said.
"FANFIC SIGN!" The S.O.E crew shouted.

Ah, much lighter, yes?
Sorry the whole story was a bit on the dark side, as I was in a pretty
crappy mood when I wrote it.

next? Hold your horses! You'll see it soon enough!
As always, Read and Review.
Ashura Hedgehog
Special Episode 001
Chapter 2 - Talent Search for Love
By Ashura Hedgehog
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already done the disclaimers once. I'm not doing it again!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Within an hour of their decision of finding a girlfriend for the
distraught Ashura, the crew of the Satellite of Eggs are gone and were
heading for their home: Earth. They used Ryo-ohki as their mode of
escape (besides, the Death Egg Space Suit couldn't fit them all.)
"Well, gang. Ready to do this?" Sonic said.
"Heh, I agreed to go with you, NOT to find some girl!" Robotnik
said. "I'm going to find WHO threw me up on that Satellite and take
them out!"
"It's a waste of time." Vegeta said. "I'm just heading back home
and check on Bulma."
"Fine with us." Merc said.
"Whatever." Sonic said. He turned to Sasami, who was piloting
Ryo-ohki. "Hey, Sammy! We near Station Square?"
"Been over it for a few seconds." Sasami said.
"Sweet!" Sonic said, pulling out the airboard from the Shadow
crisis. "Teleport me to the top of Ryo-ohki!" At that, the hedgehog was
on top of the cabbit/ship, the airboard on his feet. "Catch ya on the
flip side!" With that, Sonic backflipped off the ship. "Station Square,
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IS BACK!!!! WHOOO-HOOO!" One thing came to the
others minds as he left.
"Showoff!" they said in unison. Pretty soon, the others began
leaving. Merc, Vegeta, and Trunks left for Satan City, and Robotnik,
Metal Sonic and Togepi headed in the direction of Gizmonics Institute,
where Deep Egg 13 was located. Sabian, Ayeka and Sasami headed in the
direction of the Masaki residence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As Sonic completed his fall, landing flawlessly on the ground,
he began sliding down the hill until he reached a cafe at the bottom of
the hill. As he screeched to a stop, he began regretting coming there,
as Amy Rose, a pink quilled hedgehog who has a bigger crush on Sonic
as Ayeka and Ryoko has on Tenchi.
"SONIC! YOU'RE HERE!" Amy screeched as she and a friend with her
saw the blue hedgehog. Her friend was a purple-quilled female
hedgehog, her head quills curled down like Amy's. She wore a blue
jacket, white tank-top, blue mini-skirt, and purple boots with buckles
on the ankles. Every few seconds, she would slighly flinch, as if she
was in pain.
"Uh....hi, Amez!" Sonic said as the pink quilled girl hugged him.
"Where have you been?! I missed ya!" Amy squeeled. Sonic pryed
her off him.
"Busy. That's all I'm gonna say." Sonic said. Then, he noticed
the other girl. "Hey, who's she?"
"Who, her?" Amy said, looking at her friend. "That's Crystallis.
She just came to Station Square."
"Pleased to meet you." Crystallis said, her voice weak, yet
innocent.
"Great! There's one!" Sonic said. This confused the girls.
"Wha...what do you mean?" Crystallis asked.
"Me and some of my other friends are looking for a girlfriend for
a pal of mine." Sonic said. "He was at the point of going insane and
we decided to find him one to pull him back."
"Is he nice?" Crystallis asked. Sonic nodded. "Is it okay to meet
him?"
"Sure! While we're at it, we'll try to find some other
canidates." Sonic said.
"Okay." Crystallis said, smiling. Amy waved as the two left her
behind.
"::sigh:: I wish I could help. Then again....," Amy said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gizmonics Institute.
Until the day Eggman moved in, the place was deserted. The one
place in the world where everyone was an inventor shut down a few
months after Dr. Forrestor released the Satellite of Love and allowed
himself to die and become a star baby. The reason of the shut down:
apparently, an ex-janitor by the name of Joel Robinson had slapped the
place with a HUGE lawsuit, siteing many things from unlawful
imprisonment to torture. Until a few hours after the "Kanashii no Imi"
showing, it was a perfect place for his operations. Now, Eggman wanted
it back and to take out whoever sent them there.
Arriving there, after a quick stop at Eggman Land to retrieve his
Egg Walker, Robotnik, Metal Sonic and Togepi had made their way to the
elevator leading to Deep Egg 13. As they elevator decended down the
shaft, some rock music began blaring in the speakers.
"Sure beats crappy elevator music." Eggman said.
[Mm-hmm.]Metal said, bobbing his head to the beat. As the
elevator reached the bottom, the two prepared to leave it guns blazing.
Instead, as they left, their jaws hit the ground in disbelief (Togepi
just giggled).
At the doorway was four people. The first was a old man with long
white hair and beard. He wore the worst yellow and black outfit in
existance. He had a cylinder-shaped hat with a red ribbon symbol with
the letters "RR" on it. The next was a young girl whose blonde hair
was put up as if she was imitating Bart Simpson. She wore a white dress
with red designs and a giant metal "jacket". The third was was pure
white man wearing a blue cloak and carrying his brain. The last was a
woman with curly blonde hair tied up in a bad ponytail.
"Well, I see the last tenant has come back." The girl said.
"Care for me to send him back to the Satellite?" the cloaked man
said to the woman.
"No. He could be useful." The woman said. She turned to the old
man. "Has the replacements been found?"
"Not yet. We just need to find the girl." he said.
"Good." the woman said. "Y'know, Ivo, you are welcome to join
our group."
"Fat chance!" Eggman said, pulling out a pistol. "You throw me
out of MY base, take it over, and NOW you want ME to join you?!"
"You took my beloved son's lab! I'm just here to get it back!"
the woman said. Eggman looked in shock.
"Your son...? That means you're...." Eggman said in shock.
[I never would have guessed....] Metal said
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours passed and the S.O.E crew was back on Ryo-ohki with
a number of hedgehog girls, including Crystallis and the stowed-away
Amy Rose. Merc had decided to bring along his new gal-pal, a blonde
angel named Angel (lame name, huh?). She already made a great
impression to the group by giving Vegeta a black eye and threating to
turn Sonic into a hedgehog-kabob.
"Man, I never knew women could be so violent!" Sonic said.
"That's nothing compared to Sara back where I live." Sabian said.
"She tries to kill any girl who even THINKS of getting near me!"
"Merc, so help me, if she attacks me again, she's dead!" Vegeta
said.
"Well, maybe if you hadn't called me a bimbo, I wouldn't have
punched you in the eye. I SHOULD have impaled you!" Angel said.
"Woah! Let's not start a fire fight in space." Trunks said
"::sigh:: I know those two are gonna be JUST like Ryoko and
Ayeka." Sasami said. Ryo-ohki meowed in responce. In no time flat, the
ship was back at the Satellite of Eggs. All those who hadn't seen it
before looked at it in awe. After a small tour of the place, the girls
were led to the bridge, where Ashura and Seiyuka were talking about
nothing in particular.
"Ah, I see the boys and girls are back in town!" Seiyuka said.
"Very funny." Merc said.
"Heh, I see you not only brought those girls, but you brought
yours, too, Merc." Ashura said, refering to Angel.
"Nice seeing you again, hog-boy." Angel said with a smirk. She
then noticed that Ashura had a disapproving look on his face. "Hey,
what's wrong?"
"Who in their right mind would think it was okay to bring a
batch of supermodel-wannabes to be my "girlfriend"?" Ashura said, very
annoyed.
"So? Maybe one of us will be your girlfriend?" one of the
hedgehog girls said, trying to cozy up to Ashura.
"Get lost. Now." Ashura said. That girl turned around, "humph"ed,
and left the bridge. "Everyone else, in a line." With that, the other
girls got in a line. Ashura went to each one of them and glanced at
them carefully. The replies were the same. "Nope. Nuh-uh. No way.
Forget it. Goodbye. You are the weakest link. He's in the corridor,
third door on the left." Amy Rose dashed out of the room. "Lessee, no.
No. Nope. No way, jose. Forget it, babe. What a SLUT!" Then, he got to
Crystallis, who was down on her knees, clutching her chest, obiviously
in serious pain. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Yuh-yes. I am fine." she replied.
"Like, why in the world would you help a piece of trash like
her?" one of the girls said. Ashura replied by pulling out the
Deathscythe Hell scythe, activating it and holding it by the girl's
neck.
"Anything like that again, and I'm making you flatter that
Ayeka." Ashura said. Ayeka, at that point, would have fried Ashura for
that remark, but seeing how the hedgehog girl deserved the threat, she
backed down. Ashura, then, turned his attention back to Crystallis.
"You sure you're okay? You look like you're in pain."
"Trust me." Crystallis said, clutching Ashura's right hand with
her left hand. At that moment, her pain stopped. She looked up at
Ashura and smiled. "See?" At that moment, Ashura got a good look at
Crystallis. His sky blue eyes met her dark purple eyes. He knew he had
found the perfect person.
"I think we found a winner, folks!" Sonic said, walking in with
Amy latched on to him.
"Oh, yeah." Sabian said. "But, uh, what do we do with the
others?"
"Simple, take Amy home and blast the others into oblivion!"
Angel said.
"For the way the acted, they should get blasted." Seiyuka said.
"Why not? We haven't gotten any good target practice since Team Rocket
came here." While Sasami pryed Amy off and helped her return to Station
Square, Vegeta, Trunks, Seiyuka and Sabian began enjoying their target
practice in outer space. While the others began preparing a room for
Crystallis, she and Ashura began getting to know each other more.
"Wow...heh,heh...I can't believe it." Crystallis said, blushing
slightly.
"What's that?" Ashura asked.
"Well, you're the first boy ever to act nice to me...." she said.
"What do ya mean?" Ashura said.
"Well, because of the pains, all the other boys I've known have
always called me a freak, helpless, baby,...." Crystallis said, nearly
at the verge of going through one of her pain spells again.
"Wow. I'm sorry they treat you that way, Cryst." Ashura said. "At
least here you won't hafta worry about people like that. Well, maybe
except for Vegeta." He chuckled at that. That got a small giggle out
of Crystallis. Not having noticing it at first, but since she had
removed her jacket, Ashura noticed a scar that went from her left
shoulder and apparently down her chest. "Ow, what happend to you?"
"Oh, this?" she said, pointing to the beginning of her scar.
"It's something I've had since I was little." She began pull off her
shirt to show him the rest.
"NO! DON'T!" Ashura shouted, grabbing her hands.
"Wha...what's wrong?" Crystallis asked. Then it dawned on her.
"You're just like the rest. You think that I'm a freak, huh?"
"What?! Nononononononono!" he said, waving his hands defensively.
"It's just that....well,...." He pinched his nose. "You were about to
show a bit too much skin." Crystallis blushed at that.
"Sorry." she said. "I didn't mean to."
"Hey, it's okay. Really!" Ashura said. Crystallis then began to
stare at Ashura. "Uh, what's wrong? Is there something on me?" She
shook her head. He got a bit worried. "Then mmmmMMMMMPPPPPPPHHHH!?!"
Before Ashura could finish, Crystallis had Ashura in a liplock. This
took him by surprise. So did Sonic and Ayeka, who came to tell their
new member that her room was ready.
"Ye-ow! Not even two hours and she's trying to give him the
tounge!" Sonic said. "As long as it isn't me and Amy, I'm cool with
it." Ashura, whose eyes were STILL open in shock, saw the two and his
eyes went so wide, they would have fallen out. When she released the
kiss, Ashura did the one thing he could do: faint.
"Uh, did I do something wrong?" Crystallis asked, conserned for
her new boyfriend.
"No." Ayeka said, giggling at that. "I'm just guessing that's his
first kiss." Ashura, still in a daze, nodded. "Anyway, we just came to
say your room is ready,....Crystallis, is it?" the hedgehog nodded.
"We better get the first time Romeo back on his feet!" Sonic
said. "We've prepared everything for him and Crysty's first date!"
"First WHAT?!?!" Ashura said, shooting straight up. "Sonic, tell
me you're joking!"
"Nope. 'Sides, who knows WHEN the fanfics will start, so we best
get it in while we can." Sonic said.
"I hate you." Ashura said. "::sigh:: When and where?"
"Lessee, tonight back in Station Square. It's a dinner and a
movie deal." he said.
"Whoopie. Cliche city. Why don't you guys just send the fics
we've read down to the theater while you're at it?" Ashura said,
sarcastically.
"Very funny, Ashura." Ayeka said.
"Fics? What are fics?" Crystallis asked. The three looked at her
in shock.
"Should we?" Ashura whispered.
"If we do, you're going in there, too." Sonic whispered back.
"We'll all go back in." Ayeka said. "Besides, we need all the
practice we can get."
"Okay. Let's do this." Ashura said. He turned to Crystallis.
"Well, looks like our 'date' is getting a change of lo-cal."
"What do you mean, Ashura?" Crystallis asked, as Ashura went over
to a computer and began typing something and hitting the enter key.
"Wha....what's going on?"
"We're getting you prepared for the future. Then, we'll have our
resident cook do our dinner." Ashura said. Crystallis didn't know what
he meant, but she went with it. At that, Ashura slammed down on all
three colored buttons, activating the Fanfic Sign.
"WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!?!" Sabian shouted as he and the
others raced in.
"It's a practice run for Crystallis!" Ashura yelled back.
"I guess it could be one for me, eh?" Angel said.
"Yeah, so let's move, cause we have FANFIC SIIIIIIIIIIIGN!"
Ashura shouted as the group dashed into the theater. The fics Ashura
chose were the ones the read before. It was smooth sailing for most
of the ride, until they got to the lemons. The first one got them real
sick. The second one, the theater screen got torn up AGAIN! All in all,
the newbies were ready for anything that was sent to them.
"Is that you guys go through up here?" Crystallis asked. The
group, except for Angel, nodded. "Pretty tough life."
"Yeah, but we make it through somehow." Sasami said.
"Now I see why Ashura nearly went insane. That
"Crap-nashii no Ikky" was just horrible!" Angel said, shuddering.
"Well, after that, I need to get something back into my stomach."
Sonic said. "Hey, Sammy. Wanna cook something with me?"
"Sure! While we're at it, we'll cook something for Ashura and
Crystallis!" Sasami said. As the two walked off, the others noticed the
Egg Light was flashing.
"Hey, Sonic and Sasami! Come back here! We're getting a
transmittion from Deep Egg 13!" Trunks shouted. As the two returned,
Seiyuka went and pushed the button. But, on the screen was NOT Dr.
Eggman, but an old man that Trunks, Vegeta and Merc reconised.
"DR. GERO?!?!" The three shouted.
"Ah, nice to meet you three again!" Gero said. "You're wondering
where the Eggman is, aren't you?" Everyone nodded. "Well, he's here and
back on our side!" As Gero stepped away, everyone saw the fat scientist
and his companions, along with three others. Ayeka, Sasami and Sonic
reconised the girl immediately.
"YUGI?!?!" The trio shouted.
"But, Metal Ryoko destroyed you!" Sonic said.
"You ever hear of teleportation, brillo-pad boy?" Yugi said.
Ashura reconised the last two.
"I don't believe it! If it isn't Pearl Forrestor and the Observer
himself!" he said. "What made you two come back to that dump?!"
"Simple, you miniscule simpleton." Observer said. "Because Ivo
Robotnik wasn't doing his job."
"Yeah, you just can't have people screwing around with delicate
work, you know." Pearl said. "But, now, we must prepare for the future
of the work my son started so long ago."
"Son?" Sabian asked.
"Yeah, she had a son named Clayton who died a while back doing
these things." Ashura said.
"First, we must get rid of those who pose a major threat to the
experiment." Pearl said. "Brain Guy, do your stuff!"
"My pleasure." Observer said. We walked over to the screen and
began bobbing his head real fast, the "whoo-whoo"ing sound
reverberating through the base. At the Satellite, Vegeta, Sasami,
Trunks, Ryo-ohki, and Sabian began feeling funny.
"Hey, what's going..." Trunks began to say before disappearing
along with the others with a pop.
"SASAMI! RYO-OHKI!" Ayeka shouted.
"SABIAN!" Sonic shouted, completely off-guard
"TRUNKS! VEGETA!" Seiyuka shouted. "BRING THEM BACK!"
"Ah, all in due time, dear. Now, for their replacements."
Observer said. Once again, the head bobbing and the SFX began again.
This time, two people and two robots appeared. The woman was about
19 years old, wearing a red multi-piece armor with a black two-piece
bikini under it. The man was about in his twenties, maybe thirties,
wearing a blue-green jumpsuit with the name "NELSON" on the tag.
The first robot was gold-and-black with a beak and a head net and black
odd-shaped eyes. The second was red, had a gumball machine for a head,
a toy barrel for a body and two non-working arms.
"Where the hell are we?" The gold robot asked.
"I'd say we're in a otaku's convention." the red robot said,
noticing the people there.
"I'd say we're somewhere we shouldn't." the girl said.
"I'd say Mrs. Forrrestor caught us." the man said, noticing who
was on the Viewscreen.
"Right you are, Nel-stoner." Pearl said.
"Waitaminute! If he knows who she is, that means...."Ashura said.
before realizing who some of their new pals are. "You three must be
Mike Nelson, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo!"
"In the flesh, porcupine!" Tom said.
"I'm a hedgehog." Ashura said. Merc went over to the girl.
"And who might you be?" he asked.
"My name is Sara. You happen to know where Sabian is?" she said.
"Yeah, down there!" Merc said, pointing to the screen. Sara
pulled out her sword and began to charge the screen before an energy
field blocked her path. "Hmm. That wasn't there before."
"Now for the coup de grace!" Pearl said. "Yugi, your turn!"
"My pleasure, Ma'am." she said. With just a thought, the
Satellite of Eggs began changing shape. All of a sudden, the Satellite
of Eggs, a miniature Death Egg, had become....dog-boned shaped. It
had become the Satellite of Love.
"Oh, joy." Crow said, unethusiastically. "We're home."
"Oh, boy. Welp, looks like we're roomies!" Mike said. "C'mon,
guys. Let's see if our rooms are still here." As Mike and the bots
left, the others broke their silence by screaming their heads off in
anger.
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! I SWEAR I WILL _KILL_ THEM ALL!"
Seiyuka shouted, pounding the ground in anger.
"I'll never get home again, I'll never see my friends, my family,
NO ONE!" Crystallis said, on the verge of tears.
"I JUST WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING!!!" Merc said, punching a hole in
the wall behind him.
"Ow..." Sonic said, wincing because of what happened.
"Look, guys. It'll be fine. We'll make it." Ashura said.
"Oh, sure! You're the only one that has a piece of home with
you!" Sara said, putting her sword to his neck. "Because of those
freaks, I'll never be able to see Sabian again!"
"Woahwoahwoah!" Angel said. "Look, if Merc, Ayeka and the others
could survive something like this, then WE can!"
"Yeah! Besides, we have veterans here! We have the originals
here! We can do this!" Ashura said.
"That's right. Perhaps, while we're at it, we'll find a way to
free the others." Ayeka said.
"So, who's with me?!" Ashura asked. At first, only Merc, Angel
and Sonic advanced. "Sara, Seiyuka, Crystallis. You joining us?" The
first to advance was Sara.
"I'll do it. I'll do it for Sabian." she said. Next to advance
was Seiyuka.
"I'll do ANYTHING to have my Trunks back." Seiyka said. All was
left was Crystallis.
"C'mon, Cryst. It'll be okay." Ashura said.
"A..are you going to be in there?" she asked.
"Of course! I enjoy these things!" Ashura said. Crystallis slowly
advanced towards Ashura, then wrapped her arms around him.
"Then, I'm with you." she said. Ashura returned the hug.
"Thanks, Crystallis. It really means alot." Ashura whispered.
"Heh, think Eggman and his new crew will get away trying to
seperate us from the ones we love and attempting to break us that way?
Yeah, right! We're stronger than that!" Sonic said. At that point,
the fanfic sign decided to blare.
"DAMN! ALREADY?! Tom shouted as he, Crow and Mike returned to the
bridge.
"Oh, WE GOT.....uh, what would this be?" Mike said.
"FANFIC SIGN!" The S.O.E crew shouted.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
---------------
Ah, much lighter, yes?
Sorry the whole story was a bit on the dark side, as I was in a pretty
crappy mood when I wrote it.
Can't wait for Season two? Can't wait to see what happens to them
next? Hold your horses! You'll see it soon enough!
As always, Read and Review.
