Chapter 2: Meeting the Beanie-Niceniks
Sonic stood up to his ankle in metal debris, looking around for any sign of a badnik. Usually he would be looking around in the satisfaction that he'd managed to trash another 100 or so badniks. But at the moment he was looking around in puzzlement.
"Knux, are you sure this is the right place?" He asked.
"I'm pretty sure it is. Why would all this junk be here if it wasn't from the badnik attack we were told about?" Knuckles said.
"I know. But what the heck happened to them. Badniks don't just fall apart for no reason."
"Maybe they ran off when they heard we were coming." Tails piped up.
"Since when were badniks smart enough to do that?" Knuckles said, "They usually fight to the death."
"It looks like they were destroyed by something else." Sonic said, "I just want to know who or what it was!"
"You might find out sooner than you think." Said Tails "Look!"
Coming towards them was a huge army of small badniks.
"They don't look that strong!" Knuckles pointed out, "We can easily take them put!"
"Hey! There's NOTHING I couldn't easily take out!" Sonic boasted.
"If you're so brilliant, deal with it on your own!" Knuckles replied.
"Hey! Sonic look! They're cleaning up the mess!" Tails said.
"Maybe we should check these dudes out." Sonic said, "I don't think Buttnik would bother with eco-friendliness!"
"Yo!" Sonic said to one of them as he walked up to it. "What are you things doing?"
"We're tidying up the mess from these nasty badniks!" It said in an annoyingly high-pitched voice.
"So you're cleaning bots." Knuckles stated.
"No. We're the Beanie-niceniks. We destroyed all these horrid badniks!"
"That doesn't sound very nice!" Tails exclaimed.
"You're freedom fighters, aren't you?" It replied, "Coconuts told us about you. You nice, but you still destroy badniks, don't you?"
"I supposed so." Tails started, but he was cut off by Sonic.
"Anyway, we'd best not keep you from your work. C'mon guys." He said quickly and had bustled them away from the thing before they had a chance to protest.
"Sonic! Those things could be a trick!" Knuckles said as soon as he had the chance to speak.
"Wait a sec Knux." Sonic said, "Tails, when was the last time we heard form Coconuts?"
"Wasn't it when you smashed up Robotnik's mean bean machine?"
"Hey! Didn't that thing call itself a beanie-nicenik?" Knuckles asked.
"It did. Looks like Buttnik's got the bean machine back on line." Sonic said.
"But what is the bean machine?" Knuckles asked as he had not been (That pun didn't happen on purpose!) on Mobius at the time.
So Sonic explained about how Robotnik had planned to turn all of the happy beans into badniks and how he had got his twelve favourite robots to work on and guard the machine.
"So does that mean that we're going to go to the bean-machine and see what's going on?" Tails asked.
"Right on little buddy!" Sonic said. "So follow me and lets..."
"Hey Sonic! Wait for me sweetie!" Cried a very girly voice.
"Amy! What are you doing here?" Sonic asked his girlfriend, "I thought I told you to stay at home!"
"I thought I could help take out a few badniks." Amy said gesturing with her crossbow.
"Thanks, but I already told you. We can deal with little things like this on our own." Sonic explained. "Now, we've got to go to one of Robotnik's old hideouts to see if he's managed to get something working or not. So you stay here and make sure that there are no more badnik attacks in the Emerald Hill Zone. OK?"
"But couldn't I help you?" Amy asked.
Sonic sighed. "I'd rather you stay here. I don't want you to get hurt. We won't be long anyway; it'll just be another one of our run-in-and-smash-everything jobs. OK?"
"OK." Amy said reluctantly.
"Great! See you soon." Sonic said. "Now lets GO!" He shouted as he ran off into the distance with Knuckles and Tails.
"Hmm! I don't see why I always have to stay here." Amy thought to herself. "I know, I'll follow him and then he'll have to lets me help him!" She thought as she started to follow the tracks and the others had made.
Ok! I know this chapter is really short. And I'm sorry that I took so long to write it. I've had so many ideas recently that I've ended up trying to write three fanfictions at once! Hopefully I won't take so long with the next part as its half term next week and I'll have loads of spare time to write stuff. But until then thank you for being patient if you were one of the people who read chapter 1 when I first uploaded it!
