Author's note: I'm slowing down with the stories a little now. After all, inspiration doesn't just walk up and say "hello." You have to look for it. So much for resolving to apply myself more in the new year. Well, here's Chap 2.
Chapter 2: Oh my gosh!
Max woke up to the sound of his mother's voice. "Max, I'm going to the grocery store for a few hours. Take care of yourself while I'm gone, okay?"
"Okay, Mom," Max replied. He then heard the car pull out of the driveway as his mother drove off. Then he took another good look at the notes he had taken.
Searching through his desk drawers, Max finally pulled out another Sonic X figurine, this one of Knuckles. He then gulped down some more of his 7up and brought the figurine to his chest.
SCHWING! It worked. Now Max looked exactly like Knuckles. He grabbed his pencil and added to his notes that the transformation would work with any Sonic X figurine.
Max then returned to normal (SCHWING!) and set the figurine down on his desk. He decided to watch a little TV while he tried to make sense of this little ability.
"We interrupt this broadcast for an important news flash," a TV announcer said. "There has been a break-in at the federal reserve bank today." This was enough to give Max dejŒ vŸ.
"The robber escaped using what looked like a jetpack. He is now counting his money above City Hall. Reaching him is beyond the abilities of the police, for he's too high."
Upon hearing and seeing this last part (Max's TV has closed captioning), Max's eyes lit up. He picked up the Tails figurine and took a good look at it.
Quickly Max grabbed his can of 7up and... found it to be completely empty. Luckily, Ms. Mezzanine always kept the fridge in the kitchen well stocked with 7up, for she knew that it was Max's favorite.
It was a small matter for Max to grab a can of 7up from the fridge and take a drink of it. He then returned to his desk and used the Tails figurine to transform (SCHWING!).
Being a budding scientist with waaaaaay too much time on his hands, Max had studied all the ins and outs of Tails' flight ability. He now felt confident that he could copy it.
Max went out to the back yard to try out Tails' flight ability, and it worked perfectly. Now he dashed around to the street and headed towards City Hall.
As you can imagine, seeing a large two-tailed orange fox in the middle of town would be enough to freak anyone out. Knowing this, Max tried hard not to be seen.
Finally Max reached City Hall. Curiously, the robber was not under heavy watch. This was going to be a little easier than Max thought at first.
Getting his twin tails ready, Max flew up behind the robber and pressed the OFF button on his jetpack. The robber immediately plummeted and ended up dazed on the roof of City Hall.
Having done his good deed didn't change how people would react if they saw him, so Max immediately dropped to the ground and made tracks before anyone noticed.
A few hours later, Max was watching TV back at home. (He was back to normal, of course.) "The robber who stole from the bank earlier today has now been caught," the TV announcer said.
"The police discovered the robber lying on the roof of City Hall after someone turned off his jetpack. Who turned it off or how he or she got up there remains unknown.
"However, we found this logo on the jetpack." A logo flashed on the screen, and Max gasped. "I'd recognize that logo anywhere," he said. "That's the Eggman logo!"
Coincidence? No way. There's more madness coming up, eventually. In Chapter 3. Maybe. I know I always say this, but I appreciate your opinions.
