"Sonic may have a plan. But will it work? The man was suspended from the
marionette control pad. Whatever had taken control of the man Wanted the
orb back"
Part#22 Puppet Master
"It might just work" Thought Sonic.
"I'll give you one more chance" offered the man "Surrender the orb, or perish!"
"You're bluffing!" blurted Tails.
"Oh?" Asked the man, "Let's see" The mouth of the man lowered. And it started to shoot spherical blasts of energy. They stop several inches in front of the man until there were twenty-four of them.
"What is he doing?" questioned Fury.
"I'd tell you if I knew" answered Sonic, "But we should stay prepared."
Fury nodded his head slowly as he gripped his sword and began to concentrate on each and every sphere.
The man began to laugh lightly "Ready?" he asked tauntingly.
"Bring it on!" yelled Sonic.
"Alright then." said the man as he snapped his fingers and the burst of energy sped off, they were going so fast that they had coned making them into pointed cone needle.
"Sonic Wind!" said Sonic aloud as a small gust of energy created a tornado, the gust caught the coned bursts and over came them. The energy turned where dissolved and burst into there air in small jets of energy and fizzled in the air.
The man began to land softly on the ground, but Fury slowly drifted of into the shadows.
"Not to shabby!" admitted the man. His wooden puppet eyes began to search around for some reason. "Where's Requiem!" demanded the man.
"He knows his name." Said Sonic lightly.
"Yes I know his name!" snapped the man. "Now where is he!" the man demanded again.
Fury was not there. He had vanished. While the three looked around, suddenly a black blur sped across in mid air slashing through the man. Energy from the hand began to go trough the cords of the panel into the wooden men. The energy filled in the chunks from the blur and filled it in.
"Good as new" said the man.
"DAMN IT!" yelled a voice, no doubt it was fury. He walked out of the shadows and banged his fist onto a tree over and over again. "It Has To Much Energy!" he said. Fury's plan was that if he slashed the man, it would recover but it would weaken him since it would be taking energy from the source. The hand and marionette panel that whatever was controlling him had taken the form of. But it went unfazed.
"There you are!" said the man as he advanced a few paces.
"It'll work!" Thought Sonic. "Or, At least, it should!" "I have a plan!" whispered Sonic to Fury as he walked by, Sonic made a cover by picking up a rather large rock. "I want to test how strong you are!" he told the man. "I'll through this rock and I want you to crush it into a grain of sand with your mind. Only one grain of sand, that's it!" he finished explaining.
"Al right then!" said the man. He backed up a few paces so he was a fair bit away. "Ready when you are" he told Sonic.
"Alright then!" said Sonic. He got himself in a pitching position, like he was playing baseball. He through the ball as fast as he could.
The man stopped it when it was half way between them. He crushed it making it smaller and smaller but compounding all the pieces together when it was crushed. "Hold out your hand!" asked the man.
"What?" asked Sonic, he had not fully heard the man.
"I said Hold out your hand." The man repeated. Sonic stuck his left hand out. The man did his crushing and compounding procedure three more times then dropped a small spec of rock on to Sonic's hand. "There's your piece of sand.
Sonic examined it. "Alright, you passed!" Sonic informed the man. He walked back to his position, but as he walked past Fury he said lightly "Cut the Cords" through the corner of his mouth facing Fury. Fury knew what he meant.
"Hey!" Fury shouted to the man the man. "I challenge you to a fight of blades."
While the man could not show any emotion, being made out of wood now, In the tone of his voice, he seemed interested.
The man and the figures drew their swords. "You will lose you know, Fury!" the man warned. "I can use my energy to heal any damage you do to this body. "You won't be any more auspicious then before!"
A grin appeared across Fury's Face. "Okay then." He said as he grabbed his sword. He held it up in his usual battle stance. "You make the first move, I insist!"
"Whatever you prefer!" said the man. He just stood there. Fury and him exchanged glances. They would concentrate to try to catch they other of guard. Or block their attack.
Suddenly the man slashed at Fury at a top speed so fast that it was like it happened instantly, but do to Fury's concentration he was able to predict it and block the attack. Then the two began to trade attacks. The two were both talented in blade man-ship, due to this either made even a scratch on the other. They always blocked each other's attack, but one must admire how Fury is defending him self with only one sword against the man with at least a dozen more.
Suddenly Fury dodged an attack instead of blocking and was able to jump onto op the device. He began to slash away at a rope with was connected.
"What the f?ck?" asked the man. ".So This was all a trick." He observed. "Well we can't have liars now CAN WE?" he yelled as he started to ram trees to knock them over on Fury.
"Damn.." mumbled Fury as he continued to try and sever the string.
"Tails!" whispered Sonic. "Go and attached Fury to the cord with your tails, so he won't loose balance.
Tails nodded and did so, he flew up and grabbed Fury's leg and attached it to the string. Fury nodded and severed the rope quicker not being bounced around. The hand lost connection to one of the figures and it began to be dragged. The man begna to growl.
"Tails, I'm going to tap into your life force!" Fury told Tails.
"What?" asked Tails curiously and confused.
"Just trust me!" he told him.
Tails shrugged. "Ok!" he said.
Fury began to concentrate, not only on his inner strength, but Tail's to. He focused all the energy on his sword and slashed the all the chords except for the master piece figure that he talked through. The masterpiece figure was the body of the man.
"Who are you?" questioned Fury.
"Find out on your own!" yelled the man as the hand pulled the last chord out of the man and began to vanish.
"Not so fast!" yelled Fury as he ran up and slashed the hand before it completely vanished. Energy fizzed over the cut. It wasn't healing, but loosing energy. The hand vanished and all the figures and the man fell to pieces. His swords all merged into two mighty scimitars, and they also found a white diamond and 2 blue crystals.
Sonic gathered up all the pieces of the man and cast chaos control on each of them differently, so no two pieces were the same.
Tails gather up the white diamond and crystals and put them in their sack.
"When the man was acting individually, he said he would kill us for lord Puppet master. I think that is who took control of him after he died. Puppet master." Observed Fury. "And I think we will see him, again."
"Finally the threat was gone, and they received a small reward. Sonic took the two scimitars. And Tails gathered up the jewels. The y wondered if the man was a slave to this puppet master. Now all that is left is the shadow worm. Hopefully it won't cause such a immense threat."
