Changes
Author's note: I know, I said that I am no longer offended by bad opinions, but now that I've seen Byron Nightshade's review, I'm beginning to think that I should've drawn the line somewhere. I'm not the kind of person who likes to let down my readers, though, so I'll answer all of his questions:
"First, what is Robotnik's motivation for doing this experiment? Remember that he has tremendous ambition; he's not going to use so much time and energy on something unless it's going to help him conquer the world."
This story is a kind of prequel to the games. Who says that he wants to take over the world this early in time? Maybe now he's just a scientist who has a bit too much spare time on his hands.
"Second, why does changing someone's species change their clothes?"
Got me there. Guess I never thought of that.
"Third, the concept of "changing someone's species" stretches credulity all by itself."
if there can be a blue hedgehog who runs at the speed of sound, I don't see why there can't be a ray gun that changes one's species. Your vocabulary amazes me, though. I had to look up "credulity" in the dictionary.
"Fourth, how do you account for the age differences? You list them all as being 8, yet Sonic is six years older than Tails and four years older than Amy."
I've always had trouble with the ages of Sonic and friends.
"Fifth, why are Sonic et al. so meekly following Robotnik's wishes? I mean, okay, they're in the net; how did Robotnik get the handcuffs on them? And why do they follow him? Come now, can you see the real Sonic ever doing anything just because someone told him to?"
What makes you think Robotnik didn't force them to come with him?
Over-analyzer people like Nightshade spoil all the fun of writing fan-fiction. Better get on with the story, though.
Chapter 3: The Big Battle
As you may recall: After being captured by Dr. Robotnik, 'Sonic,' 'Miles,' 'Knuckles' and Amy have been transformed against their will. 'Sonic' has gotten used to his new body, though, and has busted free and started beating up Robotnik.
'Miles,' 'Knuckles' and Amy watched in awe as 'Sonic' knocked Robotnik black and blue. Suddenly, 'Knuckles' felt a surge of power inside himself.
With a SNAP, 'Knuckles' pulled free of his straps and joined in the battle. 'Tails' tried to get free as well, but instead the table he was tied to toppled over with a CRASH!
It didn't seem like a very advantageous event, but it was actually very convenient. One of the straps that bound 'Miles' hit a sharp knife on a desk.
As a result, the strap was cut, and somehow 'Miles' was unharmed. He then untied his other straps and walked over to untie Amy. Then they approached Dr. Robotnik.
Too little too late. Robotnik had fled the room. The 'Friendship Four' dashed behind him, but to no avail; the door was shut and locked tight.
Suddenly, a trapdoor opened up beneath 'Sonic' and his friends and dropped them into a gigantic room. A huge robot approached all four of them.
"Look!" shouted Amy. Robotnik was in the cockpit, piloting the whole thing. So this was where he had fled to. Either way, this robot was not going to be easy to beat.
Even though 'Sonic' could jump higher now than when human, it was still not high enough to get up to the cockpit. There had to be some way to solve this dilemma.
As the robot marched toward them, 'Miles' had an idea. He whispered it to the other three. The 'Friendship Four' stood strong as the robot approached.
'Knuckles' dashed under the robot's foot and punched the underside. The robot toppled over backwards. Then 'Sonic' calmly climbed on top of the robot.
A few quick spin-jumps cracked the cockpit open. With that, Dr. Robotnik climbed out and fled. He didn't stop for even two seconds as 'Sonic' and friends gave chase.
Suddenly, half a dozen robots dropped into the hallway. It only took a few seconds for the 'Friendship Four' to take them out, but those few seconds were enough for Robotnik to get away.
Looks as if the adventure is ending with a bang. One more chapter should sum up the story. Gotta go! Oh, and get a life, Nightshade.
