Hello again! Why am I doing this so fast? You'd think I'd be suffering from
cramps by now. Anyway, I hope you liked the last interview with Scales.
This chapter is going to be something interesting, a two-parter! Enjoy it,
please! And I hope you're reading the interviews at the end of every
chapter.
Disclaimer: Feh.
Day 2, 10:00 AM
Scales watched as Big grumbled and tried yet another pattern of buttons on his control panel, failing to show a result. Rouge and Knuckles were now lying side by side, both still out. As a joke, Scales had moved their hands to hold each other for romantic reasons. Big shook his head. "This isn't working! I still can't figure out what makes these things tick! No matter what I try, these stupid nanites won't budge!" "Well, we don't have much else to do. You have to keep trying, Professor." Said Scales. Big sighed. "I know, I know, but what am I supposed to do? This just isn't working!" Scales put a hand on his shoulder. "Mr. Rose, you've been working almost twenty-four hours straight. Maybe you should take a rest and enjoy the luxuries of the hotel, and get back to finding a cure for the nanites later." Big thought a moment. "You know, you're reasoning is fit Scales. Very well, I will take a rest. Maybe a little catnap will do me some good." Big walked to one of the bedrooms, probably to go to sleep. Robotnik walked in a minute later. "Scales, I-" He paused. "Where is Big?" "He's taking a catnap. He'll be out for hours. Have you found the last Emerald not in enemy hands?" Scales asked. Robotnik blinked, getting back on course. "Right, right, the Emerald. I have pinpointed its location to Station Square's famous amusement park, Twinkle Park. I'm not sure where exactly the Emerald is, but I trust you can find it." Scales saluted. "Don't worry doc, I'll get that Emerald, and then we'll see about finding that villain and the last Emerald!" "Good luck!" Robotnik said as Scales warped away.
After warping to Station Square and getting directions, Scales found her way tot he entrance of the amusement park. After being forced to pay for a fairly expensive ticket, Scales gained entry to the park. After wandering around for a while, dazzled by the crowds, the sights, and the various rides of the park, she found one of those weird carnival games. You know the type, where you waste your money trying to get an unwinnable prize because the game itself is rigged so as not to ever let anyone win. Scales was astonished to see that the grand prize for this game was the gray Chaos Emerald! She got the booth operator's attention. "Excuse me sir, how much for that gray gem?" The operator, a weasel, laughed. "Oh no ma'am, you can't buy that little trinket! You have to win it!" Scales shrugged. "Okay, how do I win it?" The weasel smiled in a creepy way and pointed to the game itself, which appeared to involve whacking heads that popped out of a hole with a plastic hammer before they could go back into the holes. "It's simple. Just hit the hedgehogs before they go back in their little burrows to score points. Score enough points to win a prize. It takes 10 points to get a tiny stuffed weasel (like yours truly), 50 to earn a toy cannon that really fires projectiles that could easily put someone's eye out, 100 points to win a stuffed Snively figurine, and 150 points to win a really heavy paperweight." "How many points do I need to win the Emerald?" Scales persisted. "About 1000." The weasel said nonchalantly. Scales gaped. "That's highway robbery!" The weasel shrugged. "That's how business works, baby. So, you want a try?" Scales grimaced. "How much for a play?" "Five bucks." Scales handed him the money and he handed her a plastic hammer. "Okay, here we go. Watch carefully." The weasel flipped a switch under the counter, starting the game. Heads that looked uncomfortably like Shadow and Amy started popping out of the holes, moving at speeds faster than most cars. Scales struggled to hit them, but they were too fast. She only managed to hit one hedgehog, and then the weasel stopped the game. "Oh, too bad, you're out of time! And you only got ten points too. Here, have a handsome likeness of myself." Said the weasel, reaching for the doll. Scales scowled. "No way! I want another try, and this time set it a little slower please." The weasel laughed as he took five more dollars. "What are you, kidding? That was the slowest setting!" As Scales took up her hammer, the weasel started the game. Instead of just waiting for the hedgehogs to pop out, Scales started smacking her hammer every few milliseconds, using her scanners to determine when and where each hedgehog would pop out. Using this method, she managed to rack up one hundred points in only five seconds. By the time the desperate weasel shut down the machine, the scoreboard showed Scales had gained one thousand, six hundred and forty points. The weasel gaped. "No way! You must have cheated!" Scales shook her head. "Nope. I did it fair and square. Give me my prize, please." Furious, the weasel grabbed the Chaos Emerald and threw it at Scales' head. She grabbed it before it could hit. "There! Take it and go away! You'd better not tell anyone what happened here, or I'll-" Scales laughed. "You'll what? I'm practically a celebrity, mister! I should turn you in for rigging this game so unfairly, but I'll let you off this time." Still laughing, she walked away as the weasel fumed. "Well, that was fun. Now to-" Suddenly, a silvery figure shot past, grabbing the Emerald from her hand. The figure ran off into the crowd, rudely shoving people out of the way. "What the hell?! Stop, thief!"
Stage 5: Twinkle Park. Mission: Chase after the thief.
Scales ran after the figure, catching up quickly but losing the culprit as it stormed past people waiting in line and barged into a really big building with the words, "Twinkle Circuit and Star Castle" in big neon letters. Scales followed the thief, also barging past tourists and customers. She charged inside the building and through the lobby, past the startled security guard and up some stairs to the beginning of the ride. She saw she was in a large area with a track leading out into what looked like space but that was really a fantastically well designed backdrop. There were several empty bumper cars. Scales saw the thief jump in a car and drive down the track. Scales was about to continue pursuit when several Kikis jumped out from bumper cars and attacked her. She quickly killed the clever robot monkeys and jumped into an adult-sized bumper car, driving down the track in pursuit of the thief and the Chaos Emerald. She drove the car down a slope that soon straightened out into a level road. She turned right then left, following the road. She went forward for a while, unable to catch sight of her quarry. She suddenly lurched, her entire car shaking. What was going on?! Scales looked to her right and saw a Kiki driving a bumper car next to her. It chittered evilly and rammed her car again, nearly knocking her off the track. Scales rammed it back, shaking the robot monkey a bit. He Kiki hooted and pulled out a bomb. Scales quickly slammed into the Kiki's bumper car, causing it to drop the bomb. It screeched as the bomb flashed and exploded, destroying the monkey and leaving the bumper car surprisingly unscratched. They were apparently made of tough material. Scales veered a little to follow a slight dip to the right in the track, going forward for a minute or two. The track started curving, going down and underneath the immediate road. Scales turned her bumper car, staying on the track and going down the loop. She passed beneath the upper path and proceeded for a while, until she saw a gap in the path ahead. She put the accelerator to the max, careening for the edge. The bumper car sailed off the end of the path, soared through the air, and landed with a bump on the other side. Pleased, Scales kept going, turning right then left and going around a long U-bend. As she came to the straightaway after the U-bend, a pair of Kikis in bumper cars suddenly attacked her. They came up on either side of her and drove inwards, trying to smash her. Scales hit the brakes. The Kikis shot ahead and collided with each other, the recoil knocking both of them off the edge of the track. Chuckling at the poor monkeys, Scales started driving again, soon going at full speed once more. She followed a few bends in the path, going right and left, before taking a sharp turn to the right followed by another to the left. She went on a straightaway for a while and was then caught up to by three Kikis in bumper cars. The robot monkeys surrounded her from the back and both sides, trying to make sure she couldn't escape. They rammed her, shaking her car as they bumped it repeatedly. Scales protested loudly, but the Kikis chittered and kept attacking. After several minutes of struggling to get away from the monkeys and moving very slowly, Scales suddenly realized this was very stupid. She got up in her seat, reached over to her right and ripped the Kiki's head off. She chucked it at the one on her left, knocking it silly and causing it to fall behind. Then, she accelerated so the Kiki behind her would get left in the dust. The remaining Kiki hooted and sped up as well, chasing after Scales. Scales went over a dash panel and drove through a total of three loops, staying in the center to keep from getting thrown off. The Kiki wasn't so lucky, and ended up shooting off the side of a loop and crashing right into the painted Big Dipper, exploding. Scales grinned and came off the end of the third loop, passing over a very narrow section of road and going up a steep hill. She went at top speed once she got up the hill, following the track to the right and the left, leaping over a gap before following a short straightaway and a narrow road. At the end of the narrow path was the end of the Twinkle Circuit, a parking space for bumper cars. Scales maneuvered the vehicle into a space and looked around. She saw the back of something that looked like chrome just before it ran through a door at the back of the parking space. Scales got out of the car and was a bout to run after the thief when she heard a screech behind her. She turned around and saw half a dozen bumper cars crashing into the walls around her, the Kiki drivers jumping out and throwing bombs at her. Scales growled and quickly took them out by throwing their own bombs back at them, then ran through the door. She was now in a dock for a roller coaster. She saw an empty train in front of her and realized that if the stupid monkeys hadn't delayed her, she might have been able to catch up with the thief by now. Frustrated, she got in the front cart of the train. The bar rolled down, and the cart was off, going up the roller coaster track. One incredibly fun and gravity-defying roller coaster ride through false outer space later, the train came to a stop in another dock. Scales got out and saw what looked like some sort of castle before her. The thief had to be around here somewhere. It was up to Scales to catch that thief, and get back the Chaos Emerald! Scales ran away from the roller coaster exit and along a path that was mixed with sections of sandy colored tiles and gray ones. She ran through a couple of archways and found a large pool with several stepping stones in it. The pool completely filled up the path, so Scales jumped from stone to stone to get across. She continued down the path, going around the castle, and followed a slope upwards, walking around a pointy tower and up a set of stairs to the front of the castle, coming to a large platform with a big pool. A Kiki threw a bomb at her. She grabbed the bomb and threw it back, killing the monkey. Scales saw a spring pointed at a blue rooftop and bounced off it, landing on the roof. She walked across the sloped roof, keeping her footing, and jumped to a platform with a Kiki. After killing the monkey, Scales saw the first of three spinning pointy towers a little distance away. She jumped from the end of the platform and used a Homing Kick to reach the tower, landing on a flat base around the pointy part. She waited as the tower rotated, timing carefully, and jumped to the next tower. She repeated the process with this tower to get to the third one, and jumped from that spinning roof to a platform. She bounced from a spring on that platform and went higher up the castle. She landed on a platform with another Kiki. She killed it and jumped across three more platforms. She saw a red rooftop nearby, very slanted but with a platform jutting out from it. She jumped and used a Homing Attack to get to the red rooftop and hit a switch. A long chain of Bladed Spinners flew down, forming a path leading to a higher ledge on a different section of the roof. Scales used multiple Homing Kicks to work across the chain of Spinners, landing on the ledge. She saw another switch and activated it, calling down more Spinners. She used a series of Homing Kicks to get along this chain of Spinners and found herself on another ledge with a spring. She bounced off the spring and landed on a platform near the very top of the castle. She saw some stairs leading to a door in the uppermost tower. Scales ran up the stairs and through the door, finding a couple of elevators. She entered one and found there was only one place to go, down. She pressed the button and waited as the elevator descended the shaft, ripping out the speaker when the same god-awful music she had heard in the casino elevator started up. When the doors opened, she looked out and saw she was in a lobby. Scales saw the door leading outside swinging shut, as if somebody had just used it. Scales ran out of the lobby through the door, back into Twinkle Park.
(STAGE CLEAR.)
Scales looked around and saw she was near an exit to the park. "Where is that thief?" She growled. That's when she saw a chrome figure running out the exit of the park. Scales ran after the thief, continuing the hunt.
How was that? Short, but suspenseful. Don't worry, you'll find out who the thief is next chapter. Anyway, here's this chapter's interview! Scales: Am I supposed to say anything important? Me: No, not really. So Scales, did you enjoy Twinkle Park?
Scales: Yeah, I liked it. The bumper car race with those Kikis was lots of fun, as was that roller coaster ride. Why didn't I catch the thief in this chapter? Me: Because I couldn't remember the reason Sonic used Speed Highway in the game, so I had to make up a reason for you to go there. Scales: Oh. You've just spoiled the next chapter, haven't you? Me: No, anyone who's played Sonic Adventure knows Speed Highway is next. So, who do you think the thief is? Scales: Obviously one of my roboticized friends. It's either Amy or Shadow, not sure who though. Me: Do you think the thief will put up much of a fight? Scales: Yeah, but whoever it is will fail to beat me. You know, this mystery villain would have better luck against one of my friends if he or she managed to roboticize me. Of course, that's just an opinion. Me: Do you have anything to say to your fans? Scales: Yeah, stay in school and don't do drugs. Me: Good message. Now, please review. The next chapter should be up soon. Now, like Maverick, I have to go fight robots in a post apocalyptic war zone. Scales: Can I come? Me: Sure! Let's go kick some robot ass! Scale: Yeah!
