Sorries, I disappeared for sometime... Why? Well, I had other things in my way… like laziness. And I had to work on my site. So yeah. Here's the 4th Page
Sonic had a peaceful night. Not only did he not dream of that song again, but when he woke up, the sun was shining and the air smelt sweet of flowers. Sonic jumped off his bed an, nearly squashing his new sunglasses, ran downstairs to put his shoes on. He missed all 3 of his breakfasts, and went down towards the lake. Full of energy and feeling cooler than ever, he threw off his shoes and dived. The water was icy cold, but so refreshing Sonic forgot all his cares and problems at once. The water, a transparent blue, was glittering in the sunlight as small schools of fish whizzed under the surface. Everyone around Sonic were laughing and having fun. Sonic turned around and began to backstroke towards shore, but he stopped halfway. Why should he move at all? The water was so refreshing… and it felt so nice… what could spoil his happiness? The answer to that awaited him in a few minutes. Sonic dived deep. He kept his eyes open and saw magnificent fish, and even a glimpse of the coral-filled bottom. He was just thinking about a good long nap on his veranda, when suddenly the water around him started to shake and splash. Sonic quickly swam to the surface, and what he saw made him nearly gulp down a mouthful of water. There they were, bigger than Sonic had ever seen them: the three Mecha's. Mecha Sonic, Mecha Tails and even Mecha Knuckles stood on the shore, firing off laser beams and sizzling down trees and bushes. Sonic tried to move, but his legs were heavy and stiff for some reason. Still, he powered them on, and slowly felt the feeling come back to them. Once the three Mecha's saw him, they disappeared with a bright flash. Sonic stood there, puzzled. His first thought was "Robotnik", but somehow that was not his way of taking over the world. Sonic was putting his shoes on as fast as he could when a cruel laugh echoed in his head. He stopped, eyes watering from the pain in his head. Then, the laugh stopped, and a voice said: "Don't try to stop me, hedgehog. You won't have chance against me, for I am…" but what he was, Sonic never knew, because at that moment the mournful song started. Sonic tried with all his might to stay conscious, but that song just drained the power out of him. He staggered, and fell head first into the lake. As the water touched his face, he felt energy shoot through his body as tough he had gotten an electric shock! The song began to fade, and Sonic felt himself become normal again. He began to run. He didn't know where he was going, but he didn't care. All he wanted to do right now was outrun his fear about that voice and enjoy the warm summer day.
Sonic was coming closer and closer towards the now almost ruined Emerald Mountain. An owl hooted and Sonic looked up. He stopped dead in his tracks.
"I thought I'd be seeing you soon." Said a voice. The voice came from a hooded figure standing in front of Sonic. Its eyes shone like red rubies. They looked ready to kill, but Sonic didn't budge. His old hero instinct was building up, and somehow, even though he had never met this creature before, he had an urge to beat the hell out of it. The dug his nails into his palms to prevent this from happening, just in case. His eyes darted from left to right as more figures came up to this hooded figure. He noticed the three Mecha's he had seen earlier on stand to the left of the hooded figure, and more than a hundred of Robotniks badniks stand to the right. If this is Robotnik, Sonic thought, he must have taken a huge diet from the last time I saw him.
"Who are you?" Sonic asked before he could stop himself. He hooded figure simply grinned a wide and evil grin.
"Me?" it said. "What's that to you? Shouldn't you be wondering what I am about to do with… these here?" at these words the hooded figure swiped its hand and the Chaos Emeralds appeared, gleaming above everyone's heads. There was a faint buzz coming from somewhere, and Sonic realised that the Emeralds were just an illusion.
"Well done, blue hedgehog. I see you have figured out that this is an illusion of the Chaos Emeralds?" the hooded figure spoke. Sonic was startled. An odd thought struck him: could this creature read his thoughts?
"Well done again. You're not as stupid as I suspected. This may make the situation a bit more complicating. "
"So what if there is an illusion of the Chaos Emeralds above us? What should that mean? I know perfectly well what the Chaos Emeralds look like." Sonic sounded braver than he felt. But the figure just smiled. "Well, I see you haven't figured it out yet. Fine, I will tell you. The Chaos Emeralds, all seven of them, are in my possession." And mistaking Sonic's expression of shock for puzzlement, it added: "Surely this could mean something to you?" Then, it began to laugh. Sonic remembered this cruel laugh.
"You!" he said. "You were the one who kept on talking in my head and haunting my dreams!"
The figure stood there, its head bent low but the glowing red eyes were transfixed on Sonic. Then, suddenly without warning, Sonic heard a voice. But the voice was inside his head.
"Well spotted. But I have not always haunted your dreams. Some of your memories have come back, I see." Sonic was sure that his blood had stopped flowing. Memories? What was this creature talking about? He looked up back into those cold red eyes, and the hooded figure began to talk, only in no language Sonic understood.
"Pe elsre ihtmo rfesir as dlar emekr adeht yam!" then a fork of lightning flashed in the now dark purple sky. Suddenly, the image of the Chaos Emeralds changed. The Emeralds began to twist and turn, until hideous, misshaped Emeralds took their place. All of them were a darker tone of the real Chaos Emerald colours.
"The Dark Emeralds. Created by Dr. Lucifer Lucius, these are the most powerful things in the Dark World. Whole cities can be demolished with the united power of these seven glorious weapons." The figure turned his gaze to Sonic. "They can kill their prey easily, and he or she will experience immense pain and suffering before dying a horrible and restless death. I haven't used these before; I have only just found them, buried in the deepest depths of my world. I'd like to try them out on someone. The Emerald Mountain was a good laboratory, but the power of the Dark Emeralds made it explode." The figure shrugged. "And now I have finally found someone to test my ultimate weapon on." Sonic stepped a few paces back. He didn't like that grin the hooded figure showed him right now.
"Come here, hedgehog…" it whispered. "COME HERE!"
Sonic's instincts kicked in. But this time, he didn't have the urge to beat the figure up, but to run. Run away, even if this meant he was more of a coward than he had ever been. Sonic powered up his legs and ran. Ran faster than he had ever run, away from the hooded figure that was stamping the ground, hard. Sonic could make out some of its cries, which were mainly insults and commands to its badniks and all three Mecha's. Before the trees hid this scene from view, Sonic looked back and saw that the Mecha's stood there, and then disappeared quick as flash. They must have had a new kind of warp technology built into them, because Sonic would gamble all of his belongings that this wasn't Chaos Control they were using.
I've changed the "Parts" into "Pages" now. It's a bit useless to say "parts" because… um… because… oh never mind. Anywho, please review!
