Last Session: Till Game Over do we Part:
Well this is it... (Some More Dirty Words...Sorry!) and fear my Yoshi Cameo!
Hey Don't forget to Review now!
(More complete ending)
________________________________________________________
"Wow that white glare must have been a portal" I mumble to myself. We were all in a room with a rug expanded over the entire floor, the ceiling had a hole and sunlight poured in above us. Everything seemed ok but one thing...Bell's Night's Ensemble is gone! I hope nothing happened
"And wear did your Nights attire go?" I asked her...she couldn't answer me though...she was interrupted by a middle aged women...nicely dressed though, however her Eyes were keened right at us...she must be pissed off about our little hole...
"YOU STUPID KIDS! L-LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY RESTAURANT! LOOK AT THAT H-HOLE! IT'S AS B-BIG AS J-JUPITER!" She was hollering to the point that she couldn't say the syllables...kind of like when I yell, after nm veins burst out... She seems to talk a lot...the stupid wench...doesn't she know who we are?!? We helped saved your behinds from Death you know
"Look lady, we're sorry. We just fell through the sky, and- hey, that's no way to talk those who helped save the world." Rahn pointed out.
The woman's eyes tweaked as she turned on the television hanging in the corner.
"In latest news, Sonic Takeshi Hedgehog as done it again, saving the ARK from a deadly collision into earth previously today. Although we may have not known him well, Shadow Robotnik Hedgehog will forever be engraved in our memories and our hearts for his sacrifice. And in other news..." The news anchorwoman said. Wait? What about us?!? That damn News lady forgot us! We helped too! Without us, your "precious Hero" would be in pieces in space! I want my recognition! After my furious thinking spell, I can feel my eyes grow a shade a black to the once hazel look.... I am getting more evil by the day at this rate....
"It's been all over the news. It's one thing to fall on in and crash through my roof, but it's another to just barge on in here and say that you sorry excuses for animals, even the darling girl over there, such as yourselves to go off say you did this world any good." Her head was red like a chili pepper and fire began to blow from her every breath.
"SO YOU LITTLE MONGRELS BETTER DO AS I SAY! UNTIL YOU PAY OFF THESE REPAIRS OR REPAIR THEM YOURSELVES, YOU WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE, ANYTIME SOON!" The woman stomped over and grasped Rahn's hat's chin strap as his whole body, since he was the one to speak up, and her eyes were practically bugging out.
"GOT THAT?" She then planted him down onto the carpet and flicked off any lint there could be on her dress, like there was any.
Rahn's eyes focused steadily on her, taking precautions not to talk back to the imprudent woman.
"So what now?" Kit Kat asked. You had to ask? The Witch gave a smile equally as wicked as Hades himself
"I know just what to do with you, my little munchkins." Oh...why do I have a bad feeling about this!?!
*~* Minutes later... *~*
Kim seems to be complaining...her naggy voice can be heard around everywhere...that woman made us clean and do other equally as annoying chores...but nothing compares to the work I had to do in the real world...
"It would've been nice to hand us a vacuum cleaner, or one of those little dust sucking things, or a brush and pan, even a rag or sponge would help...BUT THIS?" Bell moaned and groaned
"If you know what's good for you, I'd stop complaining. Working the floor with a toothbrush is better than the alternative, a q-tip, isn't it?" The woman said snidely. That is what I could hear from the other room.., our evil chore...Tile Carving!
*~* Hours later... *~*
"Come on boys, pace it, pace it!" She coached.
"Why do we have to carve the tiles that were on your roof out of plain boulders and rocks?!" C-4 asked angrily.
"It's been at least four hours and we still aren't finished carving our FIRST tile out of stone! Couldn't you just buy them and make us repair your roof?"
That didn't penetrate her shield of excuses.
"Pffffffft, I made my tiles out of rock, you can too! So you better hurry up if you plan on escaping your debt pretty soon." The woman then stepped away. That witch...wench and other mean word to say! I almost busted out those words too! But I worry for my safety!
The Witch is gone...I guess I can mingle with the boys...
"What are we going to do after this? What's our objective here? She doesn't seem to recall or even think that Bell and Shade chaos controlled the ARK away from Earth's orbit." Rahn asked, pecking away at a few stones with a pickaxe.
"Tell me about it, It is like we are unimportant or something...She is a Koopa Racist!!" I whispered...obviously UN hearable to the others...like most things I say...
"We should escape this insane lady or we'll be here for an eternity making tiles for her stupid restaurant." Kit Kat groaned.
"Hey, Nokame, you told me and Bell when we first met you that Tails was responsible for all this chaos...and that he made a machine that transfers objects between dimensions and stuff like it did to us." C-4 recalled. Hey that's right! I guess you're not as useless as I thought you were!
"So we got to start searching for a way to get to the Mystic Ruins. We should get a map...Let's see. There should be tourist brochures or newspapers around here somewhere." I said peaking inside. He was right. There was a little metal rack filled with mostly newspapers.
"Go in..."C-4 muttered as me C-4 and Rahn crept behind...I do like my shell and safety thank you very much. Kit Kat tenses up for a moment and sneaks by to grab the item he desired, the newspaper. He whisked back safely into the clear. He made it!
"PHEW! Close. So um, now what?" I asked already with my head buried into the map on one of the pages while the others watched beyond my shoulders. Except the Map is very useless...
"Where do you think the Mystic Ruins are? A majority of Station Square makes up this map and the rest of it is just ocean. And Station Square grew a lot bigger since last Sonic Adventure too." I said scouting the premise then returning my attention back to the map. I trailed over the vast illustration until it went over a building to large to go unnoticed. It was the Station Square Hotel located right next to Emerald Coast Beaches.
"Hey, maybe we could start looking around there." We all shrouded the newspaper.
"But how do we ditch the evil slave driver?" Kit Kat asked. He's right...that wench wouldn't let us go anywhere...without our heads anyways... There were wooden signs staked not far off. There, the address was shown.
"Parkway street, 13207 NW" Whoa! We were located in the middle of Station Square's more natural tourist attraction restaurants. Not too far off from the suburbs but it still was a long walk. And walking isn't my thing...you know?
"Ah, it's further away than I thought. A cab's too expensive. A bus isn't that reliable...We probably don't have the right money to pay the bus fare anyway. God, I didn't know that that nice urban spot was the downtown region in Station Square. Oh well, our money might not be worth anything. I wonder what kind of currency they take here. It can't be one of ours, too many of them to count." I endlessly babbled. Letting my good nature begin to slip.
"And how are we going get money anyway? Madam Ballistic isn't tending to let us go in a couple of days, you know and we aren't even getting paid to work like this." Kit Kat asked.
"We'll escape this place, we can fight can't we?" Rahn said.
"Are you little demons working or just standing around mumbling behind my back?"! The restaurant keeper asked going to them, sniffing at them as if they carried a putrid stench. Crud! The witch is back I ran behind Kit Kat and he stealthily slipped me the map. I can hide it for now.
"Something's amiss...And you're keeping it away from me! Now cough up whatever it is! NOW!" She demanded. Oh the things I'd give you... (Well lemme see. A whip of a Leather Strap for being rude to Bell, a shell shock to the face for strangling Rahn, A kick in the stomach for being rude to Kit Kat, a Scratch in the eye for being rude to C-4 and a Ice Shell Ram (I love my ice attacks! (See past 2 chapters for more)) For causing Serena the hardship you have! You will suffer in Hell Demon!)
"You really want to know?" Kit Kat asked.
"Tell me, damn it!"
"We'll tell you. What we've been meaning to say is, 'DIE IN HELL'!" Kit Kat shouted.
CONK! Kit Kat withdrew his frying pan back to wherever he held it before. Bravo! Couldn't done it better myself!
"Now that that's settled..." C-4 began. Oh Fudge! If she wakes up she'll get us in trouble! I hate cops...they scare me!!
"Let's tie her up. If word gets out that, 'EVIL ANIMALS, and a girl, ATTACKED POOR HELPLESS MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN' we'll be on the run with a lot of problems. We have to make sure she'll never get out. Well not for a long while. Just enough for her mind to drive her to the mental institution." I hollered! I hate getting in trouble!
"Let's throw her in her basement or something." C-4 suggested.
We began to toss her into the basement...after our deadly deed was done a shriek was heard....utterly loud too!
"Be Quiet Bell Jeez!" I mumble to myself...
"You...killed her?" She asked falteringly. Accusing me of the killing!? I am the pacifist of the bunch! My eyes as well as Kat's and C-4's and Rahn's busted out and then violently shook our heads.
"We're not murderers or anything! She's just unconscious, jeez!" Rahn said
"What took you?" Serena asked.
"Well thanks to Nokame we can finally figure out a way to get back home. A little gratitude could be nice." C-4 rambled giving me a little credit. I'll remember this when I plan to do bad...again...thanks buddy!
Serena's expression had turned gloomy and melancholy, frowning slightly. Oh no...Why Serena...what's the matter. No One but I can to that kind of face. I was the master of depressed faces.
"What's wrong, Serena?" I asked clearly seeing her sour face a mile away.
"Oh, it's just that...this was sort of fun, you know. And now it's all of a sudden coming to an end." Now we all felt a little at loss as our last hours together might be our last since some of us live far away from each other, so far off...I wouldn't imagine seeing anyone in person who lives even one state away, and even less a country or continent.
"Well I wouldn't miss much...I am the one who has no real social life...I kind of hated people too...I never had a GF...actually I don't think anything was worth missing...actually I am glad I am here...I wasn't needed anyways...I doubt those morons in Maryland would even give a freaking care if I left." I said to myself...I don't them to hear me...I'd get them all worried...I look like a suicider sometimes.
"So let's find Tails and get him to whip us back into our world." Kit Kat encouraged. Who would've known the trail ahead of us was a bumpy one, a bumpy one indeed.
*~* Station Square Monorail Station *~*
Using wooden sticks like old senior citizens use canes; we dragged our feet over to the steps of Station Square's Monorail Station. Oy we finally made it...my shell is killing me...it's like my book bag during midterms.
"L-Let's hurry on in before we collapse..." I said.
*~* At the counter... *~*
"Well the total cost for all six of you to board the monorail is... (o)x600 (Bell/n: The currency is rings...) "
"Why do we even have to pay? Sonic didn't pay...Neither did Tails...Nor Amy..." C-4 murmured. I'd agree with him too
He looked at his with a stern face showing no mercy.
"Look, they have 'special' privileges that you kids don't...Any alliance of Sonic's is well worth a few rings to hitch a ride to the Mystic Ruins." And they wonder why I hate humans...cold heartless...bastards!
"A few rings he says..." Bell murmured. I was getting a bit peeved...again my eyes begin to grow darker.
"So you're saying that Big the Cat and E-102 Gamma are close friends of Sonic?" I asked sarcastically
"You tourists are sure persistent when it comes to a lower fee...But you're only making me double it."...You bum! I was ready to shoot him!
Shocked, and enraged, Rahn also fought against his need to retaliate with his sword and bit his lip.
"We're better off walking there." Quiet guy with quiet words that speak loudly.
"No you aren't. The only thing from here to the Mystic Ruins is a nice vast sea with deadly salt water. But luckily, there have never been any crazy accidents with our monorail services before that led to a severe deaths or injury because of the salt...Besides, you'd float up anyway since there's so much salt. But even when there are no potentially dangerous hazards and sea creatures, you still will get tired of SWIMMING all the way there. Now if you're willing to collect enough rings by the end of week, then I'll be there to hand you this bundle of six tickets to go."
"But where are we going to get that kind of money?" Serena asked.
"Two words; part-time job."
I guess this IS better than at the hags...
Looks like I am going to get a job...
*~* Twinkle Park's Job Application Booth *~*
"WHAT!?" I hollered as I got duties for the Roller Coaster...
*~* Twinkle Park's Roller Coaster *~*
My Job was counting the tickets and managing the roller coaster's speed and time limit. At Least each ticket guaranteed me 5 rings as payment. It was actually kind of fun...the people waltzing in and coming out sick and queasy...maybe I am just a bit sadistic...no?
Everything was fine...Until ONE little boy showed at the head of the line who was almost too small for the ride. Look kind of familiar actually this was an exact clone of my cousin Landon...the terror...
"Ha ha, stupid turtle! Ha ha, stupid turtle! Take this, and this and this." Boy was young for his age...smacking with me with that damned toy...I could tear it to pieces... (A/n: In this little part. I will have an Evil Meter for everything wrong that happens) (EM: 79% (I already was mad before hand too you know.))
I was getting a bit peeved...but I had a strong patience. I slowed down the coaster allowing the next set of victims to ride...just to be mocked by the boy who made another shrewd comment.
"Now remember slow turtle, I want to go fast, really fast. I want to go really really fast. Got that? Did I say it sloooow enough for a slowwwwww turtle like you?" His voice was slow. (EM: 1709%) Now that's the final straw! I could feel my veins bursting...my eyes growing red...that's it...I could feel a Koopa like Rage! I was ready to throw the kid into the track and ram it...at full power...to enjoy the flesh blood and guts ooze and bleed as he would cry in agony...it'll serve him right! Children like this make me very frustrated...enough to kill someone!
The coaster came to a complete stop and the boy stuck out his tongue as he boarded. "Okay you little snot nose punk...see if you like this" I whispered as I then closed the doors preventing no one else from entering, which POed a couple of parents and kids as a result. I don't care stupid humans! I must give this bastard a taste of fury (EM: 190%)
"The lad wants fast...SO I'll GIVE HIM FAST!" I holler as I cranked the lever to the highest degree of speed.
1 to 10 the column went, and the lever was yanked all the way to 10. See if you like this...
The roller coaster sped at the speed of light.
It returned in a matter of seconds.
The boy stepped out with his hair sticking up, and his mouth agape, he trampled out of the little roller coaster uneasily.
"Was that fast enough for you?" I asked.
He nodded and scampered away in fear. Good Riddance you bastard...if I ever see you again in my face again...I will personally kill you at the spot.
"Does anyone ELSE think that this roller coaster is too slow for you?"
All heads shook wildly. I smirked.
"That what I expected to hear."
Counting the rings, he had (355. Not a bad start...
....What the...Why did I just hear Bell's voice? She sounds sort of upset... I wonder what's wrong...
*~* polished palace of portals, our destination! Wait...no, it's the neutral author's zone! *~*
Let's have a scenery change shall we?
(A light flickers in visible light is a dark wall...the music in the back ground was Apocolyptica's Unforgievn. And one Lone Dinosaur that's Right! Yoshi!"
Yoshi: Ahem! Attention all personal...well readers anyways...Nokame asked me personally to discuss the dark side of our heroes....It all starts here. *smacks a poster with a shack like building* this is the Polished Palace of Portals. No you won't find Luigi or Mario there but you will find a palace filled with tiles able to peek into any universe...ooh you got dirty minds over there!
...err anyways this use to be a forbidden place but now Bell's evil clone Shade has made it into a snazzy boarding house. *holds a "DENIED" room rent form and crumbles it* inside hold the ones Shade befriends. I as the Host of this random lot of stupidity will explain each one.
First, there is Toki the Tanuki. *smacks a poster with a Tankuni*
Tanuki's are raccoons. Some how, Kim is familiar with tanukis and my little guy right here. If this
Toki is a bright, optimistic lad still in his youth. He'll perk his smile to the dimples and beyond no matter what, unless something is endangering his friends. Of course, he gets a little over dramatic sometimes.
His fur is usually a dim brunette, although he does have those black rings around his eyes, the paws, his feet, and a couple around his tail. He's a raccoon though. What would you expect?
He wears these blue goggles strapped around his chin to his forehead. He has this pet with one eye, a pair of bat wings, and a hand with eight fingers clasping on to the eyeball. Though nails look sharp, I wonder if that thing even notices.
OKAY, Toki wears this white tank top with our own original symbol. It's a red doodle that spirals into the center with eight isolated marks surrounding it. It turns out to look like the sun or a star. Become familiar with this symbol, you'll be seeing it a few more times.
Also, he wears faded denim shorts and sometimes a cobalt leather vest that he never buttons. He seems to hold a grudge with my other friend, Cereberus.
...but who is Cerberus? *Yoshi fumbles through his papers but is unsuccessful*
Next, is Abigail the cow...*smacks the poster of her*
She's got auburn spots all over herself. She's got these golden rings pierced at each ear and is a gourmet cook, who prefers to cook treats like cookies and bakes her own tasty pet recipes for Cereberus, although he can pretty much take care of himself and eat what we do.
She speaks like a hillbilly...Yet she has on this smock, and let me add it bares their trademark sun symbol, and a French little hat, although she doesn't have one French bone in her body. She can whip out her easel and a fresh paper in a blink of an eye and paint just as fast with that goofy big tail of hers.
Her tail's end is sort of big and has an everlasting slab of pink paint at the tip. It never dries...I wonder why.
She is a pretty good artist. The thing is that whatever she paints with her tail comes to life...Often she uses her paintings against enemies and she's trained herself to paint on instinct. However, she doesn't rely only on her paintings to fight. She wields this white parasol she painted. Man, she saves money all the time. Everyone else still needs to pay a tailor!
She does pretty well in combat, whether it is from afar speculating her paintings or up close, fighting with her parasol. Also, Cereberus usually sits on her shoulder, mimicking her every move. Sometimes, he hops down and copies certain actions, like dancing or a victory pose.
Who is next...Ah yes, the ever-pessimistic turtle friend Wilson.*smacks a poster with a very hilariously close looking to Nokame himself.*
So we tend to kid around a lot. He doesn't seem to stand for it. He is very ruder than my buddy and seems to be more commanding too....As we know Nokame is just a little sweetheart *Nokame Gives Yoshi an Eye which creeps him out and continues with the description*
What I find odd is that he has steel blue skin and his shell is one of an even darker tinted steel blue. He has these attacks where......Damn...the paper is smudged.
Why did this paper only have Abigail's special weapons...I guess the author wants you to be surprised.
Now, the final character to tell on the agenda.
Well, that girl, uh Serena?
*smacks a poster of Serena*
To start off her, her name is, uh, Rachel. She looks suspiciously identical to that girl in Kim's gang. Yeah, I know, her name is SERENA! I remembered, Kim!
Now, she is a Blondie who for once isn't an airhead.
She reads scans large regions on this radar attached to her gloved hands. Green is her favorite color. I mean, she has this olive green cloak of authentic silk over her broad shoulders, with a white sun symbol like Toki's, a lime green halter-top, denim jeans, that having faded at the least bit. How did she become aware of this modern sense of fashion? Well that's beyond me...
She can lash enemies with her whip, strangle them, and throttle them into space. I wonder how Kim's group worked around it. She's got amazing skills!
She and Willy boy are always plotting the schemes and ask us what we think of them. Lately, we've been waiting for an entrance to the original planet earth itself.
They plan to try to destroy the universe *flies right the center of the screen*
Bell, C-4, Nokame, Kat, Rahn, and Serena Look Out they are out to get you!
Some of you humans make the most unoriginal of worlds, and we often see them. Same old, same old.
*Before Yoshi could finish 5 shadows cover the dino...obviously hiding their identity they creep around Yoshi and pummel him for his secret report.*
Yoshi: ARGH! Don't forget what I told you!
*Yoshi turns to an egg and vanishes*
END: Stupid Random Portion*
*~* Back to the Mystic Ruins *~*
(Now would be perfect to play the Scene when Sonic returns to the ARK, Shadow less...)
The clock seemed to tick by slowly. But that's just how I want it to be! Slow, waiting for the stroke of our final second before the contraption is already running.
Hours passed. I was torn between my urge to stay with my friends this device was crazy...it will take me some real work to fix it...
I dabbed his head with a towel. With the most depressed face they ever seened.
"It's ready...Well, after a pretty short period of time, I guess we'll have to say farewell."
"Yeah, who knows how long our parents have known that we were gone." C-4 said.
Assuming all of you are still in high school, you must still be living at home...right? Well, most likely.
"Well we all have e-mail addresses, right? We could still chat online..." Bell brought up.
"But it still isn't the same, you know? There's never going to be another chance to see you all in such a very long time, maybe they'll never be another one." Kit Kat added.
But boy, Kit Kat was sure wrong. We'd be seeing each other A LOT sooner than we would've thought.
"I'll miss you all." Serena whispered, well she intended for us all to hear it so I guess she just spoke in a hushed tone.
For once, Rahn was busy grinning his mouth off.
"Ah come on, we'll cross fates again. That's how video games are. Well, the FATES in them. Just look at Final Fantasy."
Tails approaches us, nudging his scalp with a wrench.
"Uh, don't you think you ought to go now? Who knows when the portal closes...?" Tails stared beyond at the vast sea beyond his small cliff.
"It eventually...closes?" Bell uttered to him. He nodded.
"Well, it's pretty unpredictable. I'd leave while it's still open or it'll shut for a quite a while. From 2 months...to 20 years." Tails explained.
We all went on inside Tail's cramped shack. There was the device that was to take us home. It looked like a capsule that had a door you could slide open. Tails herded us inside.
"One at a time." Tail pressed a few knobs and spun a couple of dials.
"I'll go first." C-4 declared courageously.
"It's been a pleasure doing business, Bell. KawaiiKaren88, isn't it? See you around on the blasted Internet!" C-4 dematerialized before our very eyes.
"Bye C-4..." I mumbled hiding my tears from the world...I guess I ought to go next... I pulled out the flowers I had with me
"Okay, second?" Tails asked. I handed Serena's a bouquet of blossoming Sakura flowers.
"Uh, yeah, picked them from one of the trees around the Roller Coaster. Think of it as a farewell present."
"Ah, thanks Nokame! They're simply wonderful! I'll miss you so terribly much!" Serena threw her dear arms around me and hugged me to her before letting go. I could never leave you...my dear...I wish this moment could last forever...it was you who kept me happy inside...I will miss you...
"I.....Love.............................You" I whispered as I vanished into nothing.
*~* Back to the Real World *~*
"Ziadi...Ziadi...Damnit Ziadi Wake Up!" a lone voice screamed slapping my face like crazy.
...I awaken to find...my friend...standing there with the most concerned look on her face. How long have you been here? I look around...and at myself. I was at home...and I was the pathetic John Ziadi again...Not to be rude I greeted my friend...who seems to have lost interest and already left. Leaving a note.
I might as well read it...
Dear Ziadi,
Where have you been? It's been 3 weeks! Although no-one really noticed your absence...I kind of miss having someone to annoy. You know!?
From
Cat
Some Friend...heh...I wish I could stay there forever. It has been fun journing around like this...but i remember that that was just one adventure. and that's all it'll be unless i can make it last longer...
I dash to my sketch book and began to draw...tears gushing from my eyes. The picture complete.
Nokame and Serena sitting hand and hand at a sunset.
but wait...this could never happen. Serena was nothing more than a fan made image. Thats IT! She is un real, like mine is... There'd be no way this could be possible. It was unreachable.
"There is something missing here..." i sighed. Welding a big pair of scissors, slice the image in half...as well as my tip of my finger did hurt, i didn't really care. All i'd hear is "John make sure there is no mess in the carpet!" Nothing about the bloody mess of a finger i had. To be honest it adds a good image to the picture, blood stains between the two. "Death did we pass..." i sigh as i leave the room, and enter the cold hating world once more..
____________________________________________________________________
Session Epilouge
Well that's it for now... If Kim decids on a sequal i'll return. but untill then Nokame, fades into the shadows...with his beloved creator...
Well this is it... (Some More Dirty Words...Sorry!) and fear my Yoshi Cameo!
Hey Don't forget to Review now!
(More complete ending)
________________________________________________________
"Wow that white glare must have been a portal" I mumble to myself. We were all in a room with a rug expanded over the entire floor, the ceiling had a hole and sunlight poured in above us. Everything seemed ok but one thing...Bell's Night's Ensemble is gone! I hope nothing happened
"And wear did your Nights attire go?" I asked her...she couldn't answer me though...she was interrupted by a middle aged women...nicely dressed though, however her Eyes were keened right at us...she must be pissed off about our little hole...
"YOU STUPID KIDS! L-LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY RESTAURANT! LOOK AT THAT H-HOLE! IT'S AS B-BIG AS J-JUPITER!" She was hollering to the point that she couldn't say the syllables...kind of like when I yell, after nm veins burst out... She seems to talk a lot...the stupid wench...doesn't she know who we are?!? We helped saved your behinds from Death you know
"Look lady, we're sorry. We just fell through the sky, and- hey, that's no way to talk those who helped save the world." Rahn pointed out.
The woman's eyes tweaked as she turned on the television hanging in the corner.
"In latest news, Sonic Takeshi Hedgehog as done it again, saving the ARK from a deadly collision into earth previously today. Although we may have not known him well, Shadow Robotnik Hedgehog will forever be engraved in our memories and our hearts for his sacrifice. And in other news..." The news anchorwoman said. Wait? What about us?!? That damn News lady forgot us! We helped too! Without us, your "precious Hero" would be in pieces in space! I want my recognition! After my furious thinking spell, I can feel my eyes grow a shade a black to the once hazel look.... I am getting more evil by the day at this rate....
"It's been all over the news. It's one thing to fall on in and crash through my roof, but it's another to just barge on in here and say that you sorry excuses for animals, even the darling girl over there, such as yourselves to go off say you did this world any good." Her head was red like a chili pepper and fire began to blow from her every breath.
"SO YOU LITTLE MONGRELS BETTER DO AS I SAY! UNTIL YOU PAY OFF THESE REPAIRS OR REPAIR THEM YOURSELVES, YOU WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE, ANYTIME SOON!" The woman stomped over and grasped Rahn's hat's chin strap as his whole body, since he was the one to speak up, and her eyes were practically bugging out.
"GOT THAT?" She then planted him down onto the carpet and flicked off any lint there could be on her dress, like there was any.
Rahn's eyes focused steadily on her, taking precautions not to talk back to the imprudent woman.
"So what now?" Kit Kat asked. You had to ask? The Witch gave a smile equally as wicked as Hades himself
"I know just what to do with you, my little munchkins." Oh...why do I have a bad feeling about this!?!
*~* Minutes later... *~*
Kim seems to be complaining...her naggy voice can be heard around everywhere...that woman made us clean and do other equally as annoying chores...but nothing compares to the work I had to do in the real world...
"It would've been nice to hand us a vacuum cleaner, or one of those little dust sucking things, or a brush and pan, even a rag or sponge would help...BUT THIS?" Bell moaned and groaned
"If you know what's good for you, I'd stop complaining. Working the floor with a toothbrush is better than the alternative, a q-tip, isn't it?" The woman said snidely. That is what I could hear from the other room.., our evil chore...Tile Carving!
*~* Hours later... *~*
"Come on boys, pace it, pace it!" She coached.
"Why do we have to carve the tiles that were on your roof out of plain boulders and rocks?!" C-4 asked angrily.
"It's been at least four hours and we still aren't finished carving our FIRST tile out of stone! Couldn't you just buy them and make us repair your roof?"
That didn't penetrate her shield of excuses.
"Pffffffft, I made my tiles out of rock, you can too! So you better hurry up if you plan on escaping your debt pretty soon." The woman then stepped away. That witch...wench and other mean word to say! I almost busted out those words too! But I worry for my safety!
The Witch is gone...I guess I can mingle with the boys...
"What are we going to do after this? What's our objective here? She doesn't seem to recall or even think that Bell and Shade chaos controlled the ARK away from Earth's orbit." Rahn asked, pecking away at a few stones with a pickaxe.
"Tell me about it, It is like we are unimportant or something...She is a Koopa Racist!!" I whispered...obviously UN hearable to the others...like most things I say...
"We should escape this insane lady or we'll be here for an eternity making tiles for her stupid restaurant." Kit Kat groaned.
"Hey, Nokame, you told me and Bell when we first met you that Tails was responsible for all this chaos...and that he made a machine that transfers objects between dimensions and stuff like it did to us." C-4 recalled. Hey that's right! I guess you're not as useless as I thought you were!
"So we got to start searching for a way to get to the Mystic Ruins. We should get a map...Let's see. There should be tourist brochures or newspapers around here somewhere." I said peaking inside. He was right. There was a little metal rack filled with mostly newspapers.
"Go in..."C-4 muttered as me C-4 and Rahn crept behind...I do like my shell and safety thank you very much. Kit Kat tenses up for a moment and sneaks by to grab the item he desired, the newspaper. He whisked back safely into the clear. He made it!
"PHEW! Close. So um, now what?" I asked already with my head buried into the map on one of the pages while the others watched beyond my shoulders. Except the Map is very useless...
"Where do you think the Mystic Ruins are? A majority of Station Square makes up this map and the rest of it is just ocean. And Station Square grew a lot bigger since last Sonic Adventure too." I said scouting the premise then returning my attention back to the map. I trailed over the vast illustration until it went over a building to large to go unnoticed. It was the Station Square Hotel located right next to Emerald Coast Beaches.
"Hey, maybe we could start looking around there." We all shrouded the newspaper.
"But how do we ditch the evil slave driver?" Kit Kat asked. He's right...that wench wouldn't let us go anywhere...without our heads anyways... There were wooden signs staked not far off. There, the address was shown.
"Parkway street, 13207 NW" Whoa! We were located in the middle of Station Square's more natural tourist attraction restaurants. Not too far off from the suburbs but it still was a long walk. And walking isn't my thing...you know?
"Ah, it's further away than I thought. A cab's too expensive. A bus isn't that reliable...We probably don't have the right money to pay the bus fare anyway. God, I didn't know that that nice urban spot was the downtown region in Station Square. Oh well, our money might not be worth anything. I wonder what kind of currency they take here. It can't be one of ours, too many of them to count." I endlessly babbled. Letting my good nature begin to slip.
"And how are we going get money anyway? Madam Ballistic isn't tending to let us go in a couple of days, you know and we aren't even getting paid to work like this." Kit Kat asked.
"We'll escape this place, we can fight can't we?" Rahn said.
"Are you little demons working or just standing around mumbling behind my back?"! The restaurant keeper asked going to them, sniffing at them as if they carried a putrid stench. Crud! The witch is back I ran behind Kit Kat and he stealthily slipped me the map. I can hide it for now.
"Something's amiss...And you're keeping it away from me! Now cough up whatever it is! NOW!" She demanded. Oh the things I'd give you... (Well lemme see. A whip of a Leather Strap for being rude to Bell, a shell shock to the face for strangling Rahn, A kick in the stomach for being rude to Kit Kat, a Scratch in the eye for being rude to C-4 and a Ice Shell Ram (I love my ice attacks! (See past 2 chapters for more)) For causing Serena the hardship you have! You will suffer in Hell Demon!)
"You really want to know?" Kit Kat asked.
"Tell me, damn it!"
"We'll tell you. What we've been meaning to say is, 'DIE IN HELL'!" Kit Kat shouted.
CONK! Kit Kat withdrew his frying pan back to wherever he held it before. Bravo! Couldn't done it better myself!
"Now that that's settled..." C-4 began. Oh Fudge! If she wakes up she'll get us in trouble! I hate cops...they scare me!!
"Let's tie her up. If word gets out that, 'EVIL ANIMALS, and a girl, ATTACKED POOR HELPLESS MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN' we'll be on the run with a lot of problems. We have to make sure she'll never get out. Well not for a long while. Just enough for her mind to drive her to the mental institution." I hollered! I hate getting in trouble!
"Let's throw her in her basement or something." C-4 suggested.
We began to toss her into the basement...after our deadly deed was done a shriek was heard....utterly loud too!
"Be Quiet Bell Jeez!" I mumble to myself...
"You...killed her?" She asked falteringly. Accusing me of the killing!? I am the pacifist of the bunch! My eyes as well as Kat's and C-4's and Rahn's busted out and then violently shook our heads.
"We're not murderers or anything! She's just unconscious, jeez!" Rahn said
"What took you?" Serena asked.
"Well thanks to Nokame we can finally figure out a way to get back home. A little gratitude could be nice." C-4 rambled giving me a little credit. I'll remember this when I plan to do bad...again...thanks buddy!
Serena's expression had turned gloomy and melancholy, frowning slightly. Oh no...Why Serena...what's the matter. No One but I can to that kind of face. I was the master of depressed faces.
"What's wrong, Serena?" I asked clearly seeing her sour face a mile away.
"Oh, it's just that...this was sort of fun, you know. And now it's all of a sudden coming to an end." Now we all felt a little at loss as our last hours together might be our last since some of us live far away from each other, so far off...I wouldn't imagine seeing anyone in person who lives even one state away, and even less a country or continent.
"Well I wouldn't miss much...I am the one who has no real social life...I kind of hated people too...I never had a GF...actually I don't think anything was worth missing...actually I am glad I am here...I wasn't needed anyways...I doubt those morons in Maryland would even give a freaking care if I left." I said to myself...I don't them to hear me...I'd get them all worried...I look like a suicider sometimes.
"So let's find Tails and get him to whip us back into our world." Kit Kat encouraged. Who would've known the trail ahead of us was a bumpy one, a bumpy one indeed.
*~* Station Square Monorail Station *~*
Using wooden sticks like old senior citizens use canes; we dragged our feet over to the steps of Station Square's Monorail Station. Oy we finally made it...my shell is killing me...it's like my book bag during midterms.
"L-Let's hurry on in before we collapse..." I said.
*~* At the counter... *~*
"Well the total cost for all six of you to board the monorail is... (o)x600 (Bell/n: The currency is rings...) "
"Why do we even have to pay? Sonic didn't pay...Neither did Tails...Nor Amy..." C-4 murmured. I'd agree with him too
He looked at his with a stern face showing no mercy.
"Look, they have 'special' privileges that you kids don't...Any alliance of Sonic's is well worth a few rings to hitch a ride to the Mystic Ruins." And they wonder why I hate humans...cold heartless...bastards!
"A few rings he says..." Bell murmured. I was getting a bit peeved...again my eyes begin to grow darker.
"So you're saying that Big the Cat and E-102 Gamma are close friends of Sonic?" I asked sarcastically
"You tourists are sure persistent when it comes to a lower fee...But you're only making me double it."...You bum! I was ready to shoot him!
Shocked, and enraged, Rahn also fought against his need to retaliate with his sword and bit his lip.
"We're better off walking there." Quiet guy with quiet words that speak loudly.
"No you aren't. The only thing from here to the Mystic Ruins is a nice vast sea with deadly salt water. But luckily, there have never been any crazy accidents with our monorail services before that led to a severe deaths or injury because of the salt...Besides, you'd float up anyway since there's so much salt. But even when there are no potentially dangerous hazards and sea creatures, you still will get tired of SWIMMING all the way there. Now if you're willing to collect enough rings by the end of week, then I'll be there to hand you this bundle of six tickets to go."
"But where are we going to get that kind of money?" Serena asked.
"Two words; part-time job."
I guess this IS better than at the hags...
Looks like I am going to get a job...
*~* Twinkle Park's Job Application Booth *~*
"WHAT!?" I hollered as I got duties for the Roller Coaster...
*~* Twinkle Park's Roller Coaster *~*
My Job was counting the tickets and managing the roller coaster's speed and time limit. At Least each ticket guaranteed me 5 rings as payment. It was actually kind of fun...the people waltzing in and coming out sick and queasy...maybe I am just a bit sadistic...no?
Everything was fine...Until ONE little boy showed at the head of the line who was almost too small for the ride. Look kind of familiar actually this was an exact clone of my cousin Landon...the terror...
"Ha ha, stupid turtle! Ha ha, stupid turtle! Take this, and this and this." Boy was young for his age...smacking with me with that damned toy...I could tear it to pieces... (A/n: In this little part. I will have an Evil Meter for everything wrong that happens) (EM: 79% (I already was mad before hand too you know.))
I was getting a bit peeved...but I had a strong patience. I slowed down the coaster allowing the next set of victims to ride...just to be mocked by the boy who made another shrewd comment.
"Now remember slow turtle, I want to go fast, really fast. I want to go really really fast. Got that? Did I say it sloooow enough for a slowwwwww turtle like you?" His voice was slow. (EM: 1709%) Now that's the final straw! I could feel my veins bursting...my eyes growing red...that's it...I could feel a Koopa like Rage! I was ready to throw the kid into the track and ram it...at full power...to enjoy the flesh blood and guts ooze and bleed as he would cry in agony...it'll serve him right! Children like this make me very frustrated...enough to kill someone!
The coaster came to a complete stop and the boy stuck out his tongue as he boarded. "Okay you little snot nose punk...see if you like this" I whispered as I then closed the doors preventing no one else from entering, which POed a couple of parents and kids as a result. I don't care stupid humans! I must give this bastard a taste of fury (EM: 190%)
"The lad wants fast...SO I'll GIVE HIM FAST!" I holler as I cranked the lever to the highest degree of speed.
1 to 10 the column went, and the lever was yanked all the way to 10. See if you like this...
The roller coaster sped at the speed of light.
It returned in a matter of seconds.
The boy stepped out with his hair sticking up, and his mouth agape, he trampled out of the little roller coaster uneasily.
"Was that fast enough for you?" I asked.
He nodded and scampered away in fear. Good Riddance you bastard...if I ever see you again in my face again...I will personally kill you at the spot.
"Does anyone ELSE think that this roller coaster is too slow for you?"
All heads shook wildly. I smirked.
"That what I expected to hear."
Counting the rings, he had (355. Not a bad start...
....What the...Why did I just hear Bell's voice? She sounds sort of upset... I wonder what's wrong...
*~* polished palace of portals, our destination! Wait...no, it's the neutral author's zone! *~*
Let's have a scenery change shall we?
(A light flickers in visible light is a dark wall...the music in the back ground was Apocolyptica's Unforgievn. And one Lone Dinosaur that's Right! Yoshi!"
Yoshi: Ahem! Attention all personal...well readers anyways...Nokame asked me personally to discuss the dark side of our heroes....It all starts here. *smacks a poster with a shack like building* this is the Polished Palace of Portals. No you won't find Luigi or Mario there but you will find a palace filled with tiles able to peek into any universe...ooh you got dirty minds over there!
...err anyways this use to be a forbidden place but now Bell's evil clone Shade has made it into a snazzy boarding house. *holds a "DENIED" room rent form and crumbles it* inside hold the ones Shade befriends. I as the Host of this random lot of stupidity will explain each one.
First, there is Toki the Tanuki. *smacks a poster with a Tankuni*
Tanuki's are raccoons. Some how, Kim is familiar with tanukis and my little guy right here. If this
Toki is a bright, optimistic lad still in his youth. He'll perk his smile to the dimples and beyond no matter what, unless something is endangering his friends. Of course, he gets a little over dramatic sometimes.
His fur is usually a dim brunette, although he does have those black rings around his eyes, the paws, his feet, and a couple around his tail. He's a raccoon though. What would you expect?
He wears these blue goggles strapped around his chin to his forehead. He has this pet with one eye, a pair of bat wings, and a hand with eight fingers clasping on to the eyeball. Though nails look sharp, I wonder if that thing even notices.
OKAY, Toki wears this white tank top with our own original symbol. It's a red doodle that spirals into the center with eight isolated marks surrounding it. It turns out to look like the sun or a star. Become familiar with this symbol, you'll be seeing it a few more times.
Also, he wears faded denim shorts and sometimes a cobalt leather vest that he never buttons. He seems to hold a grudge with my other friend, Cereberus.
...but who is Cerberus? *Yoshi fumbles through his papers but is unsuccessful*
Next, is Abigail the cow...*smacks the poster of her*
She's got auburn spots all over herself. She's got these golden rings pierced at each ear and is a gourmet cook, who prefers to cook treats like cookies and bakes her own tasty pet recipes for Cereberus, although he can pretty much take care of himself and eat what we do.
She speaks like a hillbilly...Yet she has on this smock, and let me add it bares their trademark sun symbol, and a French little hat, although she doesn't have one French bone in her body. She can whip out her easel and a fresh paper in a blink of an eye and paint just as fast with that goofy big tail of hers.
Her tail's end is sort of big and has an everlasting slab of pink paint at the tip. It never dries...I wonder why.
She is a pretty good artist. The thing is that whatever she paints with her tail comes to life...Often she uses her paintings against enemies and she's trained herself to paint on instinct. However, she doesn't rely only on her paintings to fight. She wields this white parasol she painted. Man, she saves money all the time. Everyone else still needs to pay a tailor!
She does pretty well in combat, whether it is from afar speculating her paintings or up close, fighting with her parasol. Also, Cereberus usually sits on her shoulder, mimicking her every move. Sometimes, he hops down and copies certain actions, like dancing or a victory pose.
Who is next...Ah yes, the ever-pessimistic turtle friend Wilson.*smacks a poster with a very hilariously close looking to Nokame himself.*
So we tend to kid around a lot. He doesn't seem to stand for it. He is very ruder than my buddy and seems to be more commanding too....As we know Nokame is just a little sweetheart *Nokame Gives Yoshi an Eye which creeps him out and continues with the description*
What I find odd is that he has steel blue skin and his shell is one of an even darker tinted steel blue. He has these attacks where......Damn...the paper is smudged.
Why did this paper only have Abigail's special weapons...I guess the author wants you to be surprised.
Now, the final character to tell on the agenda.
Well, that girl, uh Serena?
*smacks a poster of Serena*
To start off her, her name is, uh, Rachel. She looks suspiciously identical to that girl in Kim's gang. Yeah, I know, her name is SERENA! I remembered, Kim!
Now, she is a Blondie who for once isn't an airhead.
She reads scans large regions on this radar attached to her gloved hands. Green is her favorite color. I mean, she has this olive green cloak of authentic silk over her broad shoulders, with a white sun symbol like Toki's, a lime green halter-top, denim jeans, that having faded at the least bit. How did she become aware of this modern sense of fashion? Well that's beyond me...
She can lash enemies with her whip, strangle them, and throttle them into space. I wonder how Kim's group worked around it. She's got amazing skills!
She and Willy boy are always plotting the schemes and ask us what we think of them. Lately, we've been waiting for an entrance to the original planet earth itself.
They plan to try to destroy the universe *flies right the center of the screen*
Bell, C-4, Nokame, Kat, Rahn, and Serena Look Out they are out to get you!
Some of you humans make the most unoriginal of worlds, and we often see them. Same old, same old.
*Before Yoshi could finish 5 shadows cover the dino...obviously hiding their identity they creep around Yoshi and pummel him for his secret report.*
Yoshi: ARGH! Don't forget what I told you!
*Yoshi turns to an egg and vanishes*
END: Stupid Random Portion*
*~* Back to the Mystic Ruins *~*
(Now would be perfect to play the Scene when Sonic returns to the ARK, Shadow less...)
The clock seemed to tick by slowly. But that's just how I want it to be! Slow, waiting for the stroke of our final second before the contraption is already running.
Hours passed. I was torn between my urge to stay with my friends this device was crazy...it will take me some real work to fix it...
I dabbed his head with a towel. With the most depressed face they ever seened.
"It's ready...Well, after a pretty short period of time, I guess we'll have to say farewell."
"Yeah, who knows how long our parents have known that we were gone." C-4 said.
Assuming all of you are still in high school, you must still be living at home...right? Well, most likely.
"Well we all have e-mail addresses, right? We could still chat online..." Bell brought up.
"But it still isn't the same, you know? There's never going to be another chance to see you all in such a very long time, maybe they'll never be another one." Kit Kat added.
But boy, Kit Kat was sure wrong. We'd be seeing each other A LOT sooner than we would've thought.
"I'll miss you all." Serena whispered, well she intended for us all to hear it so I guess she just spoke in a hushed tone.
For once, Rahn was busy grinning his mouth off.
"Ah come on, we'll cross fates again. That's how video games are. Well, the FATES in them. Just look at Final Fantasy."
Tails approaches us, nudging his scalp with a wrench.
"Uh, don't you think you ought to go now? Who knows when the portal closes...?" Tails stared beyond at the vast sea beyond his small cliff.
"It eventually...closes?" Bell uttered to him. He nodded.
"Well, it's pretty unpredictable. I'd leave while it's still open or it'll shut for a quite a while. From 2 months...to 20 years." Tails explained.
We all went on inside Tail's cramped shack. There was the device that was to take us home. It looked like a capsule that had a door you could slide open. Tails herded us inside.
"One at a time." Tail pressed a few knobs and spun a couple of dials.
"I'll go first." C-4 declared courageously.
"It's been a pleasure doing business, Bell. KawaiiKaren88, isn't it? See you around on the blasted Internet!" C-4 dematerialized before our very eyes.
"Bye C-4..." I mumbled hiding my tears from the world...I guess I ought to go next... I pulled out the flowers I had with me
"Okay, second?" Tails asked. I handed Serena's a bouquet of blossoming Sakura flowers.
"Uh, yeah, picked them from one of the trees around the Roller Coaster. Think of it as a farewell present."
"Ah, thanks Nokame! They're simply wonderful! I'll miss you so terribly much!" Serena threw her dear arms around me and hugged me to her before letting go. I could never leave you...my dear...I wish this moment could last forever...it was you who kept me happy inside...I will miss you...
"I.....Love.............................You" I whispered as I vanished into nothing.
*~* Back to the Real World *~*
"Ziadi...Ziadi...Damnit Ziadi Wake Up!" a lone voice screamed slapping my face like crazy.
...I awaken to find...my friend...standing there with the most concerned look on her face. How long have you been here? I look around...and at myself. I was at home...and I was the pathetic John Ziadi again...Not to be rude I greeted my friend...who seems to have lost interest and already left. Leaving a note.
I might as well read it...
Dear Ziadi,
Where have you been? It's been 3 weeks! Although no-one really noticed your absence...I kind of miss having someone to annoy. You know!?
From
Cat
Some Friend...heh...I wish I could stay there forever. It has been fun journing around like this...but i remember that that was just one adventure. and that's all it'll be unless i can make it last longer...
I dash to my sketch book and began to draw...tears gushing from my eyes. The picture complete.
Nokame and Serena sitting hand and hand at a sunset.
but wait...this could never happen. Serena was nothing more than a fan made image. Thats IT! She is un real, like mine is... There'd be no way this could be possible. It was unreachable.
"There is something missing here..." i sighed. Welding a big pair of scissors, slice the image in half...as well as my tip of my finger did hurt, i didn't really care. All i'd hear is "John make sure there is no mess in the carpet!" Nothing about the bloody mess of a finger i had. To be honest it adds a good image to the picture, blood stains between the two. "Death did we pass..." i sigh as i leave the room, and enter the cold hating world once more..
____________________________________________________________________
Session Epilouge
Well that's it for now... If Kim decids on a sequal i'll return. but untill then Nokame, fades into the shadows...with his beloved creator...
