Me: It is I, Anthony Yepes, aka: AnT. I do not own any of Sonic and Mario characters. Not now or ever. Now to say this: SORRY!!! Sorry this took so long to write. I had one big writers block about this fic.
(Eggman enters.)
Me: GAH! EGGMAN!!!
Eggman: That's Dr.Robotnik, the greatest…
Me: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Don't go Team Rocket on me! What do you want?
Eggman: Well after being stomped on the head multiple times by that hopping plumber! (Grabs me by the collar)………I need some ice!
Me: Just grab some in the fridge.
Eggman: And since you wrote that torturing punishment last chapter, I will force you to write that I, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, have destroyed my hated foes and taken over the world, and turned it into my own Robotnik Empire, or else your days of being flesh and blood are over!
Me: I thought it was Robotropolis?
Eggman: Whatever you wanna call it!
Me: You must think that I'm one of those fan authors would be left unarmed huh?
Eggman: What do you mean?
Me: Unlike those other authors, I have some bodyguards. (Snap my fingers.)
(Chiller comes in and freezes Eggman)
Eggman: T..t..t..too…much….ice!
Chiller: Well you asked for it.
Me: Well on with the fic. This may contain a little Amy bashing.
Sonic and Mario
My name is Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails. Boy what a day! We followed Eggman to another zone called the Mushroom World, full of walking mushrooms, Sonic, Knuckles, and I picked a fight with Mario, Donkey Kong, and Luigi, we had to team up to stop Eggman and Bowser form destroying the Mushroom Kingdom, Shadow and Wario shows up and stole a Chaos Emerald, and Sonic and Mario chased them. Bowser and Eggman caught up with them and tried to take the emerald, but Sonic wanted to have the chance to fight Bowser, while Mario faces Eggman. In the process, Aunt Sally and Princess Toadstool almost gotten killed. Well at least they're safe, and the Chaos Emerald is in our hands. Now is time to rest and relax, because we have a big day tomorrow.
Chapter 23 – After a hard day of work
"Where am I?"
"What is this place?"
This was all I could ever think of right now. I don't know how or why I got here; floating and spinning in some void space. The place was almost dark if it wasn't for the strange rainbow things around. I think they call it aura-borealis or something. Am I really dead? Is this heaven, or is this hell? If it was heaven I would be with Maria by now, and if this is hell I would be tortured or something. I guess this is my price to pay after saving the world and profiling Maria's wishes. There's nothing to live for, now that I made my promise to Maria. I guess this is how it ends.
What's that brightness?....A light?.... It's so heavenly!...... Should I just….go in? What else I'm gonna do here?
"Shadow….."
What? Who said that?.....Who's that coming out of that light?...Looks like a echidna! Is that that red one that was with Sonic?
"Shadow…."
No! Sounds too female.
"Shadow….please come with me!"
"Who are you? Am I dead?:
"I am Tikal, and no, you are not dead,….sort of. Just take my hand, and I'll tell you everything."
__________________________________
It has been an hour since Bowser and Robotnik's forces attacked. The citizens of Toad Town immediately started making repairs on the town. However the Princess Peach Toadstool called everyone inside the castle to bring welcome and thank you to the new heroes, the Mobians.
The Toad Town citizens waited for the announcement from their princess. From the top of the stairs, one of the Toad guards came out of the doors.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Presenting Princess Peach Toadstool!"
As the guards played their horns, the princess herself walked out, accompanied by the Mario Bros., Toad, Yoshi, Daisy, Mallow, Geno, Donkey Kong, and Candy. The people bowed down before her. Peach raised her arm to tell them to rise. Even though she is the ruler of the kingdom, she still wished to be treated as an equal.
"My friends, as you have known our kingdom has been attacked by none other then King Bowser Koopa!" she said as the people nodded. "But you probably didn't know is that he also have a new ally on his side; an ally with a knowledge of destructive weaponry, and the power to turn people into robots!"
The entire crowd gasped. All of them chatted away in panic until Daisy whistled them to shut up.
"But fear not. We also have our own allies. Allies who helped our hero, Mario defeat Bowser and his partner for now; Allies who are arch enemies to his partner. I present to you…..the heroes of the planet Mobius!"
As the guards played their horns, Knuckles, Rouge, Amy, Tails, and the Chaotix walked down next to Peach, waving to the cheering crowd.
"Also presenting the princess of Mobius, Princess Sally Acorn!"
The crowd cheered as Sally walked out of door, joining with her friends waving at the crowd.
"And I may present to you the hero of Mobius, whose skills matches to our great hero, Mario, I present to you, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
As Sonic's theme from Sonic Adventure 2 played, Sonic dashed to the crew at sonic speed, creating a sonic boom through the whole room. Sonic waved and bowed to the crowd who were just recovering from the sonic boom.
"Uh…I didn't recall asking for a music entrance for you." Peach said.
"I know. That would be Tails playing that." Sonic said pointing to Tails fiddling with Sally's computer, Nicole.
"Tails!" Sally shouted as she held out a hand for him to giver her back her computer.
"Sorry Aunt Sally." Tails said as he did his best puppy eyes.
"That's not gonna work this time!"
"Rats. Sonic asked me to take your computer and play his song."
"SONIC!" Sally shouted at her boyfriend.
"Crap." He said, before he whispered to Tails: "You'll pay pixel-brain!"
"If it wasn't for these brave heroes helping us, the Toadstool Castle wouldn't stand here today." Peach said to the people. "Now I present Princess Sally as she would like to say something."
Peach motioned out of the way to let Sally stand in front of the crew. She took a deep breath and cleared her throat.
"Thank you, Princess Toadstool. As you are aware, our enemy, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, has partnered with your threat, Bowser Koopa. What has happen today is only the layer of the cake. Robotnik is a ruthless being that will stop at nothing to get what he wants, and turn any life into mindless robots."
As she looked around, she noticed a couple of people staring at Sonic with fear. She remembered why. Earlier Shadow ran amuck in Toad Town, causing havoc, and they still believe Sonic did it.
"I can see that some of you still believe that my friend, Sonic, is the one who threatened your town earlier. Let me assure you that Sonic is innocent, otherwise Peach would not let him or any of us stand before her. The real threat was caused by a double of him. Believe me or not, Sonic vows to put an end to Robotnik and Bowser, like he always does."
"Actually I vow to turn Eggman into an omelet." Sonic said before Sally gave him the look to shut him up while the audience laughed.
"We have dealt with Robotnik many times before, when he unleashed a huge battleship like the one you saw, a monstrous water creature, a Sonic doppelganger, a space station armed with a huge death ray,…" Sally said until Sonic took the mike from her hand.
"And don't forget the Death Egg, or that pinball fortress, you weren't there when that happened, Sal!"
"Sonic! You're embarrassing me!"
"Or how about the time when Eggman tricked a certain someone into thinking I was the bad guy!" Sonic said as he eyed at Knuckles.
"Not in front of my friends!" Knuckles said in a loud whisper, but to no use because Rouge was snickering and the audience laughed some more.
"He tricked you?" Rouge said as Knuckles blushed in embarrassment.
Sally swiped the mike away from Sonic and continued: "~ahem~ Sorry about my idiotic friend here! Anywise, yes we have dealt many of those with Robotnik. All I ask is for your calmness and I promise you that Peach and I will bring down our threats before they cause more damage!"
"Now you're sounding like a politician." Ray said.
After Sonic swiped the mike from Sally, he shouted: "If all of you wanna see some Egg and Turtle kicking, give me a hell yeah!"
"HELL YEAH!!" the crowd cheered.
"What?"
"HELL YEAH!!!"
"What?"
After Sally smacked him on the head, she shouted: "Sonic, what did I say about using those wrestling lines?"
"Aw, you never let me have any fun!" Sonic said as he hung his head. Then he heard whipping noises made by Vector. "Shut up, croc!"
***************
The speech was over, and everyone was enjoying the royal snacks held at the table, even Luigi's famous chill, though those foods were kept outside for very known reasons. Sally was hanging out with Peach, talking with the mushroom folks like Toad, Peach's attendant, guard, and best friend, Toadsworth, Peach's old steward, and others. The Sonic, Mario, Tails, DK, Yoshi, Mallow, and the Chaotix spend their afternoon on the snack table outside, while Luigi was barbequing. Knuckles was near the small beach, at the corner of the castle, just relaxing. Candy and Rouge was talking near the drawbridge, and Geno was no where to be seen.
While Mario and the group were pigging out on the food, Mario can hear Sonic softly singing some tune.
"Sonic! He can really move! Sonic! He's got an attitude!..."
"Uh....what are you singing?" Mario asked.
"Oh its a song folks back in my world made up, after all my exploits. Its really catchy. Haven't these people made up a song for you after all your troubles?"
"Hmm.....well once, though it haven't been sung in a while. All you hear is the music these days....but I do know the lyrics."
"Well let's hear it." Tails said.
"Okay...Luigi?"
After Luigi made a note on a harmonica, he jumped over the table and stood next to his brother.
"We're the Mario Bros. and plumbing's our game! We're not like the others to get all the fame! When sink is in trouble you can calls us on the double! We're faster then the others; you'll get hooked on the brothers! UH!"
Then Yoshi hummed: "Dum dum dum, da dum da da dum, da da da daa do da dom da dum...!"
The singers were interrupted by much laughter from Sonic, Tails and the Chaotix, as they burst laughing on the grass.
"~sigh~ well it was just for a commercial for our plumbing biz in the Mushroom Kingdom." Mario said. "Alright, shut up!"
The Mobians calmed down and pulled themselves up, but they were still laughing and snickering.
"No offense....but that was the corniest song I ever heard!" Sonic said.
"Oh yeah! Then how about your full song!"
"Get ready to blow your hats off!" Sonic said as he took a spatula and used it as a mike. "Blue streak...speeds by! Sonic the Hedgehog! Too fast for the naked eye! Sonic the Hedgehog!....CHORUS!!" then he sang the rest with the Chaotix while Tails pulled out a guitar from nowhere. "SONIC! He can really move! SONIC! He's got an attitude! SONIC! He's the fastest thing alliiiive!"
"He's right. That is catchy!" Luigi said before he sang along, making Mario groan.
"Look out when he storms through! Sonic the Hedgehog! Don't doubt what he can do! Sonic the Hedgehog! SONIC! He can really move! SONIC! He's got an attitude! SONIC! He's the fastest thing alive! He's the fastest thing alive! He's the fastest thing alliiiive!!"
After that, the crowd applauded and the Sonic crew took a bow.
"Okay, the lyrics are good, but it can't beat the melody of my song!" Mario said.
"Yeah right! I don't feel like laughing at your song!" Sonic said as he tossed the spatula.
"Oh yeah? Everyone?"
The Mario crew pulled out music instruments from nowhere, and played the Mario Bros. theme, in a jazz style. Sonic was speechless, while the Chaotix danced to the music. After the song was done, everyone in the outside party applause, and the Mario band bowed.
"Of course they applause! This is his turf!" Sonic snorted as he frowned.
"You gotta admit: It is a catchy beat!" Tails said.
"Please keep talking, pixel-brain!"
Back inside the castle, the two princesses, along with Princess Daisy was talking with some of the Mushroom royal group. Sally, and Peach rolled their eyes when they heard music, and an audience cheering like something from a rock concert, coming from outside.
"I don't remember asking for a concert." Peach said.
"I think I know who started it. I heard Sonic's song before this one." Sally said. "Who's music is it? It's pretty good."
"That would be Mario's."
"If I may interrupt, your highness, a letter just came from the resort we were originally going for our needed rest." Toadsworth said. "I believe its in your quarters."
"You were going on a vacation?" Sally asked.
"Yes, we were going to go to a place called Isle Delfino, but after what happened today, it'll have to wait."
"Oh, terribly sorry for interrupting, princess, but along with the letter came a package from Gadd Science." Toadsworth said.
"Gadd Science? Oh that's right...he's Luigi's friend back at that mansion Mario disappeared to a few weeks ago." Peach said. "I'll be over at my room to look at soon."
"Yes of course, princess." Toadsworth said as he bowed, and left.
"I don't know how you can get used to that elegant stuff." Sally said. "I'm not really used to it. I ran away from my kingdom. I know it was cowardly of me, but my father was so strict about not letting me marry who I want. He wanted me to marry one of the main guards named St. John."
"Oh.....and you ran away?"
"Yep. I ran to Station Square to live with my old friend, Bunnie Rabbit, well now her last name is Rabbot since she almost got robotiziced. Anywise, I got a job taking care of little creatures called Chao, and that's when I first met Sonic. He was just there, browsing around, and we talked for a short while before he left, then we met again at an arcade, and walked me home and asked me out. I helped him battle a creature named Chaos, outside my home. After that, I got involved with that Perfect Chaos thing, and when that was over, my father's guards found me and took me back home..."
"And what happened then?"
"Well, Sonic...!"
"Hey guys!" Daisy interrupted by saying hi when she walked toward the two.
"Oh hey, Daisy." Peach said.
"I'm wondering. Are you two sisters? Cousins?" Sally asked.
"Well cousins? Yes and no. I'm from an alternate world, and I'm her alternate counterpart."
"You are? I would assume that your would be a evil side if you're her counterpart. Sorry, stereotyping."
"She's not evil....at least that's what I think right now!" Peach said with a grin.
"HEY!!" Daisy shouted.
"I'm just kidding. Anywise, Daisy and I are different by personality. She's more of a tomboy, who likes to play sports and all that stuff, and she has bad table manners!"
"Well excuuuuuse me!" Daisy whined before she sticks her tongue.
"I can relate that tomboy stuff, but the table manners are another story." Sally said.
"Goodie, make fun of me why don't you?" Daisy snorted.
"I'm sorry."
"Thank you. So what's the deal with the pink porcupine?"
"You mean Amy? What about her?"
"Well I did watch you two going at each other's throats over the blue guy! Are you two fighting over his heart or what?"
"~sigh~ Sonic and I am already hooked up, it's just that Amy doesn't want to believe it. Every time she insults me I lose it."
"No kidding."
"Yeah well I remember when I first met her. It was back when Chaos attacked. She was clinging on Sonic's arm when they were walking to an amusement park. I saw them and got very hurt and angry at the same time."
"Why would he do that if he doesn't like her?" Peach asked.
"Amy is a crazy fan-girl of his. She constantly follows him everywhere. Anyway, before when Amy got kidnapped by Robotnik's robots, I walked around the streets, crying out of my broken heart when I saw those two walk hand in hand, then.....
(Flashback: Sonic Adventure 1: The Reign of Chaos spoiler)
Night has already fallen and one named Sally Acorn sat near the edge of the small dock near the amusement park, crying out her heart for what she seen. Sonic cheating on her for a pink little girl. The nerve of him. How could he do that to her? What was it she did wrong? Was it because she didn't listen to him about not helping him so much, especially since she stubbornly disobeyed? Why should she, since she knows how to take care of herself?
At the corner of her Amy shaped eyes, Sally spotted none other then Sonic exiting out of the park. While hanging her head, cover her face in the darkness of her hair, she lifted herself on her feet. Sonic franticly turned his head around searching for something.
"Man, where did that robot went with Amy?" Sonic asked himself. "Thought I'm glad she's out of my hair, even she doesn't deserve that. And I wonder where the others went?" Just then, he saw Sally near the water, just standing there staring between the water and him. "Sally?" he shouted as he ran to her, almost running into a car. "Hey Sally, I'm glad to see you! Listen, I need to get the others so we can..."
SMACK!!!!
What happened was something Sonic never saw coming. His eyes squinted as he held a hand at a palm mark, burning on his cheek.
"Sally?...Why did you that? Was it because I didn't let you come with me after the Egg Carrier?"
Sally slowly rose her head at Sonic, letting him sees cold anger in her aqua eyes. This was defiantly not about the Egg Carrier thing. She wasn't this angry about that. After all, he did let her and the other Freedom Fighters help him and Tails fight Knuckles and the Chaotix, and then fight Chaos 4. There must be something else wrong. Something serious.
"Go.....away!" she icily growled.
"Sally, what's wrong?"
"Just....GO!....Why don't you snuggle over that pink girl!" she shouted.
"You mean Amy?....AMY?! Are you insulting me?"
Sally coldly walked away from him, in a pace Sonic didn't like to see, a raging one.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!"
Sonic's mouth hung, not believing what's happening. He figured she must of seen him and Amy together, when she clung her arms around him at the park entrance. It wasn't his fault, he tried to get away from Amy, but still he couldn't help feeling guilty over what he did to Sally. Sonic revved in front of Sally, gesturing his hands to stop, but Sally tried to walk around him, but kept blocking her way.
"Sally, will you just listen! I know what it looked like, but I swear it wasn't what you think!"
"Oh, then what was it? She was your cousin or something?" she coldly asked in a loud tone.
"I wish! She's just a freakin fan girl who just won't get a life! She was chased by Eggman's junk-heads, and I had to save her!"
From the look Sally still has on, she's not buying it..
"Sally, look, even though it wasn't my fault. Even though I tried to get away from her........I'm really sorry I made you feel like this."
Suddenly Sally's eyes fell and tears started to form.
"You....barely....l...let me...help you...and.."
"Sal, don't cry like this!....Sure I know how you kicked Chaos' watery butt twice, and I never seen Knuckles get his ass kicked like that, at least at the end, but I still don't want you involved. I let Bunnie involved back at Windy Valley, and looked what happened to her! If Robotnik caught you, and completely robotiziced you, I'll never ever forgive myself......actually I'm not forgiving myself right now for making you think I cheated on you for Amy....(The thought of me going with Amy scares me!)"
Sonic paused to let it sink in, no matter how un-dramatic what he said didn't seem. Then Sally poured out more tears and buried her face in his shoulder. Sonic threw his arms around her waist and held her tight.
"Sonic....I just wanna help you....I mean....I saw all the things you've done...and I would loved to be by your side, helping you, not just be some helpless damsel in distress."
Sonic kept holding her, slowly rocking her back and forth, not wanting to let go. Out of all the girls he met: Tiara, he didn't know her well. Sure he had some little romantic moments with her, but those ended quick, and when Sonic had to leave, she couldn't leave her home behind, so they broke up. Amy...well she had been a pain when he first saved her at Little Planet. It was even more painful when he had to see her again today. Amy was more like a annoying sister then something else. But Sally....she was a lot different. The girl was strong, smart, agile, and stubborn to a fault, though he can relate. He was really excited when she agreed to his date, but then again, he doesn't go out with women that much. Tiara was his first girlfriend, and Amy....well scratch that. But Sally....was willing to help out no matter what the cost. Sonic held her tighter, but gently, thinking that she must really care about him so much if to go through those risks.
"From what I saw.....you're defiantly no damsel in distress.....you're my ass kicking damsel, and couldn't ask for more."
Sally's sobs started to calm, but then again, as she looked into his emerald eyes, her face was wet from the tears, and more tears start to drop, but this time they were tears of joy coming from her aqua eyes. Their eyes locked for a few seconds before their lips connected. The world around them felt like time passed quickly. In fact, they didn't feel time. All they felt was them. Five minutes later, they parted, inhaling their lost breaths.
"And you're my stupid hedgehog, Sonic." Sally said softly.
"I'll take that as a complement. Now what do you say we find the little pink squirt and pixel-brain?"
"Just as long she doesn't pull my ear."
(End Flashback.)
"Then we reached up to Radical Highway to search for Amy...." Sally said while danced and twirled around, dreamily sighing: "But running around that place, having him carrying me around like a romantic roller coaster, with all lights every where, and flying around.......~sigh~...that was the happiest day of my life!" with that, Sally fell on her back, as Daisy caught her. The thought of that day made Sally sigh with a smile.
"Oh that is so cute!" Peach said, clasping her hands near her left cheek, as she gave a look she always makes when she hears romantic stuff.
Daisy raised Sally on her feet, shaking her head with a smile as she watched Sally rocking back and forth with a look that shows she's not in reality. Though sometimes Daisy acts like she doesn't have a care in the world, besides her kingdom, she does want to find love as much as Peach, no matter how much her counterpart denies the fact about a certain someone with a red hat. It would seem from what Sally told her, and the state she's in now, it seems more then Amy's Backstreet Boy crush on Sonic.
"Isn't that Amy Rose character that's going outside?" Peach asked, pointing to her.
Sally shook herself out of the lovey dovey state, and glared at the pink hedgehog.
"I know that look! She's up to her old schemes again!" Sally growled, walking up to Amy to have a 'talk', but Daisy held her hand, stopping the squirrel princess.
"Let me guess: A cat fight, right?"
"~sigh~ As much as I try to avoid it and try to talk to her, she takes it really seriously....and I lose it."
"Tell you what: Let me talk to her. I can be very persuasive." Daisy said before following Amy.
"Oh dear, I hope she doesn't blow it off too much." Peach said. "Daisy is known to opening her big mouth a little too much."
Amy Rose walked out of the castle and as usual, dreamily stared at Sonic. After seeing Sally clinging to her man, today is the day she's going to make Sonic hers, and Sally yesterday news. As she revved up, preparing to tackle the blue hedgehog with love, Daisy came up from behind and grabbed the pink hedgehog by the shoulders, and pulled her in a choke hold.
"Hi ya, pinko! What cha doing?" she asked, putting the pressure on Amy, before letting go.
Amy coughed a little, and then quickly getting up, glaring at the girl in the yellow gown.
"What's the big idea? You could've choked me to death!" Amy shouted, almost resorting to her hammer.
"Hey, hey! I was just trying to lighten you up! You were going like some freakin Looney Tune!"
"I was not! I was just gonna go give my man a kiss!"
"Your man? You mean the two tailed fox genius?"
"TAILS? NO!!" Amy shouted like it was an insult. "I mean my hero, Sonic!"
Daisy scratched her head, pretending to be clueless. "Uh...doesn't that guy go out with squirrel princess? I mean she and Peach told me so."
"That furry tramp? That girl has him wrapped around his finger, and I'm trying to break her spell and free my man! I had him way before she showed up!"
"Okay, and did you and Sonic ever had any romantic moments together, did he ever kiss you and tell you that he loves you?"
"Um.....well....."
"And when you meet him, does he come up to you, hug you and holds you tight with all his love, Hmm...?"
"Uh..." Amy rolled her eyes around trying to come up with a come back. "Well...he did save my life when I first met him! Since then, I knew we were truly meant to be!" Amy said as she made dreamily looks, while Daisy rolled her eyes. "Course I haven't seen him since before that Chaos incident, where he saved me again! And then later on, I saved him from jail! HA! What do you call that?"
"Um......a friend."
With that, Amy did an amine drop, and then quickly getting back on her feet.
"What do you know? Nothing, that's what!" she shouted before turning her back at the princess, crossing her arms.
"I know this...~ahem~...listen to yourself. It's pathetic, going around chasing some guy who obliviously doesn't have any feelings for you past friendship!"
"......uh..."
"I mean come on! Just because he saved your life twice, doesn't make you true lovers! And any friend can save someone's life. I mean, Mario saved my life once, and I never had some infatuation with him."
"......."
"And you go fighting Sally over him, throwing fits every time you hear that the two kissed, and I know because she told me! And what she told me is that you go around acting like a crazy fan girl, with just a simple crush, chasing him like a STALKER! You just can't see the fact that your 'man' is in love with her, cause you're afraid that there's no one out there that'll love you, or the fact that you're boy-crazy over the one guy you fist see!"
Amy shook, with thick amounts of tears forming from her eyes. Not wanting to hear any more, Amy ran, sobbing: "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
"Oh great, now I made the kid cry!" she thought, putting a hand on her forehead.
"You didn't have to put it too hard, Daisy." Peach said as she and Sally came up from behind.
"She didn't deserve it that much." Sally said.
"Sorry. I blew my mouth off again, huh?"
"No kidding!" Sally said as she shook her head with a guilty smile.
"You are way too sincere for your own good, Daisy." Peach said.
"Well the kid needed to wake up and......~sigh~" Daisy hung her head, knowing what she had to do. "...I'll go and apologize."
"So that's when DK finally remembered he was the one who buried the treasure!" Candy told to Rouge.
Outside the two girls talked about their lives and boys, leaning on the edge of a bridge on the right side in front of the castle. They talked about their lives, adventure, and most importantly, their men, well except in Rouge's case, her rude idiotic acquaintance.
"What was in that barrel?" she asked.
"What else? Bananas."
"And they have been in there for how long? EW!"
"Yeah, I wasted my day searching for rotten fruit. I was hoping it was money, so I can buy the Barrelworks factory. What do you do for a living?"
"I used to work for the government, working as an agent to find out what Eggman was up to, and find out info on the Shadow project."
"Hmm...Must be a lot of pay."
"Yeah right! I did too much work for a small paycheck. So I quit but the money was hard to come by, so I was evicted out of my apartment, and I had no choice but to try to move to Angel Island, if a certain someone let me!" Rouge said, pointing her eyes toward Knuckles.
"What was wrong?"
"I once stole his Master Emerald, which he takes way too seriously. I had a huge thing for jewels, and then this whole havoc started with Shadow, the ARK, the Biolizard, and me almost falling to my doom, until he saved my life. And after I helped him, he wouldn't let me stay in his huge island because he thought I was going to try to steal the emerald again."
"You mean you weren't?"
"No! I'm trying to quit jewels, but it's like giving up smoking, but I wasn't going to take the emerald after what happen. They stink like echidnas do ...and I really wanted to stay on the island."
Candy raised her brow, smiling wily at the bat. "Hmm....may I ask why?"
Rouge blushed, but then she thought why should she keep it a secret? It so childish of her.
"~sigh~ Okay so I have a thing for him. I mean I used to for Shadow, but now its for Knuckles."
"And you think he doesn't like you because you did stole his possession, right?"
"That and the fact he's way too wrapped up in his work. Your boy is a guardian too. Do you have to deal with the problems of having he spend way too much time in his work then with you?"
"Sometimes… He doesn't take his job that seriously, but Cranky Kong keeps him on his toes. Sometimes he's always late for our dates because K. Rool makes an attempt to steal the Crystal Coconut. Well its like being hooked up with some one with a huge business, or a cop, but DK has these huge responsibilities and I understand that. Look I'm sure he trusts you a bit now, so just give him time."
"Hmm...I guess....but in the meantime I'll have some fun with him!" Rouge said, walking up to the red echidna.
"...so then right when K.Rool took the grab on the coconut, BAM, I Banana Slammed him in the face!" Dk said, throwing a few punches in the air.
"So your life is a bit more exciting then mine. I mean, most of my days I guard the emerald 24/7, and it gets boring. At least now I have the Chaotix to help me. Every time when someone does steal the emerald, all chaos unleashes. You, it sounds like some old man....what's his name, watches the emerald for you, and when someone takes it, all you have to do is rush in there."
"Well yeah.....I still have to guard it, but I have a social life. Hanging out with my friends, even the ones here, going on adventures, and being with my number one gal!" DK said, looking at Candy far down from where he is. "Don't you have a social life?"
"Well......kind of......I do hang out with my friends!"
"Yeah, when you feel like it." Charmy said, flying by.
"Hey! We always talk near the alter, don't we? I mean, what else is there to do in Angel Island?"
"Lets see!" Charmy said, rolling his eyes. "Swimming in Angel Reef Zone, snowboarding in the Ice Cap Zone, mountain climbing on Red Mountain Zone.....may I say more?"
"NO!!"
"Face it, Knux, you're so anti-social!"
Knux dropped his head, being shot by the truth. So guarding the Master Emerald all your life and being isolated from life can do that to a person.....well one of them.
"I didn't think you're so anti-social, what with that bat-girl of yours." DK said.
WHAT?!" Knuckles shouted, with his cheeks burning in red. "NO WAY!....I mean, why should I be with that thief?"
"You still don't trust her? She's proved that she's not working for Eggman, I mean she did get shot down by the Egg Carrier when we got here." Charmy said. "And she did help you out after you and DK kicked each other's asses and what about inside the castle...?"
"So? Maybe she's not working for Eggman, sure, but I also remembered she's homeless now without work. After when this is all over...."
"Uh....Knux?" Charmy said, looking like he's looking at something behind Knuckles with feared eyes.
"No, let me finish! I'm saying is, she's probably here with us so that she can steal the Master Emerald again, and sell it!"
"Knuckles..?" DK said, pointing behind him.
"What?" When Knuckles turned around, the first thing he noticed was getting splashed in the face with punch. After clearing his face, before him, he saw Rouge glaring at him with a very stern look. Before he knew it, Rouge punched the echidna in the face, and waltzed out, and ran in the castle, trying to hide her tears, while passing by Sally, Peach, and some toads that were pulling a wagon with a box on it.
"Hang on, Peach, I'm going to see what's wrong with Rouge." said Sally, as she followed the bat.
Peach shrugged, and then walked up to Mario, who was talking with Sonic, Tails, and Luigi.
"Oh Mario! I got something from the mail for you....Toads?"
The toads opened up the box, and removed the papers and those poppy sheets; Sonic is now collecting and popping the bubbles for his amusement. Underneath all those junk lies some kind of a yellow tank pack, with a long neck nozzle that looks like a horn, and two arm handles.
"What is that thing?" Sonic asked.
"Looks like a container back pack." Tails said.
"What are we gonna do with a container pack?" Luigi asked.
Mario studied the device and the poked the thing. One he did that, the nozzle turned starling Mario, and jump back. The nozzle turned and faced to Mario, like it was alive.
"What the heck..?" Sonic shouted.
"Proceeding user identification!" it said in a nerdy female voice. It shot a laser at Mario, which made the plumber flinched, but it did not hurt him.
"What it doing?" Sonic asked.
"Looks like its scanning Mario." Tails said.
"Scanning complete. ID match to Mario, resident of the Mushroom Kingdom!"
Sonic walked up to the device, with a focused look he always make when facing robots.
"Hey, I met a lot of weird robots in the past, but what are you? Are you one of Eggman's cronies?"
"Name does not compute. I am FLUDD, a product of Gadd Science! I am a H2O jet cannon used for cleaning services."
"Gadd? Well what do you know?" Luigi said with a laugh. "I was wondering what the old fossil was up to."
"I'm surprised, Luigi. You do know that he opened up his own science company?" Peach said.
"Oh yeah."
"This was sent by Isle Delfino since we couldn't make it for the vacation, there." Peach said.
"I forgot all about the vacation." Mario said, snapping the fingers.
"So I guess we ruined your vacation plans, huh?" Sonic asked.
"Don't worry about, Sonic. Business before pleasure." Peach said.
Tails and Luigi walked around the FLUDD, while it turned its head, looking at the two staring at her.
"Interesting. It obviously is built with a smart chip, and the pressure pumps seem pretty capable of full powerful blasts." Tails said.
"Yeah, but why would Gadd send this thing? The Polstergust 3000 was handy, but what would this thing do besides shot water?" Luigi asked.
"I am also equipped with other nozzle accessories, should be found in the package."
Luigi dove in the box, and jumped out with two small devices, similar to FLUDD's nozzle. One of them looks like a small rocket, the other looks like a fan.
"A rocket part and a fan part....what will these do in action."
"If optional, proceed to user manual guide. Strap me in, and I will explain the data you search for."
"Sonic, why don't you give it a go?" Tails asked.
"Are you kidding? That thing has water! Me and water do not mix!"
"I'll do it, kid." Mario sighed, putting on the water pack. Mario tightened the belt on his waste, and pulled out to give it a good comfortable feel. "Hey it's not heavy. Uh....anyone got water?"
"If you go to a body of water, you can fill up my tank. Press the R button on the right arm handle to activate the refill process."
"Oh, thanks. I'll be right back!" Mario said, running to the beach, but the gang, minus Peach since she went back to the castle, followed Mario.
"This I gotta see!" Sonic mumbled.
Inside the castle, Sally found Rouge sitting on the stairs, with her head buried in her knees. Through out yesterday after they left Angel Island, Rouge has proven to her to be strong and kind and not one of Robotnik's lackeys like Knuckles thought of her. Yet the only time she seen her cry was back at Angel Island.
"Rouge, what's wrong?" she asked, but no answer. It didn't take too long for Sally to get what was up with Rouge. "Let me guess: Knuckles still don't trust you?"
"Yeah, but it no skin off of my nose." Rouge said, forcing a smile, but it was obvious she was hurt about it, due to her wet face.
"Look, Knuckles doesn't get out of his island that much, except when someone steals the emerald. He's not exactly a people person. Heck it took time for him to trust Sonic."
Rouge though listened, she was silent, and had her head down.
"I'm surprised at you. I thought you were one of those perky, care-free girls, but I guess its true about the grass is greener on the outside."
"What? Just because I dress so scampy?"
"No!" Sally said, shaking her head. "Look at me, I'm not wearing anything."
"Because you have more fur then me and Amy."
"Well yes....but that's not the point. I know that Knuckles likes you."
"He does?"
"Yeah! He doesn't tell me, but it's obvious to everybody! You should've heard the joke Amy said the other day, about you two. Knuckles' face was coated in red. Anywise he's just very shy. I bet you he doesn't think you're a thief. He's just saying that because he's not used to being around girls."
"How you know all this?"
"Well Knuckles and I go way back, but he considers me as one of the guys. That's why he doesn't get too nervous around me. Hey, I got it. I believe that the emeralds are scattered all over this world, so I'm thinking of spitting up the group so that we'll comb the world and get the emeralds quick." Sally moved closer to Rouge, with a sinister, and whispered: "I can pair you up with Knuckles!"
Rouge's lips slowly spread to a smile sinister as Sally. The two shook hands, and giggled like girls that planned something sneaky to make boys squeal.
Meanwhile, by the lake, Mario filled up the tank full of water in the Fludd, and now he's awaited for the water pack to tell him about to use it, while Sonic, Tails, and Luigi watched.
"Okay, so how do you work?" Mario asked.
"To shot water, hold down the R button. Hold it while moving the right handle to aim the nozzle. The stream of water will only last for short matter of time."
"Okie-dokey!" Mario pressed the R button on the handle and shot a huge stream of water, accidentally hitting Sonic in the face.
"HEY!! GET OFF!!" Sonic shouted, franticly wiping the water off his face.
"Sonic its just water!" Tails said, feeling embarrassed by Sonic's phobia.
Mario moved the handle around, making the nozzle move in different directions, also hitting his friends with water like Sonic.
"Mario! Watch where you're shooting!" Luigi shouted.
"Sorry." Mario said with a cheesy smile, letting go the button. "Okay, what next?"
"To switch nozzle, press the X button which is located in your belt."
Mario looked down, and noticed that button on the center of the belt. He pressed it, and the nozzle transformed into small twin nozzles, pointing down.
"This is the hover nozzle. With it, you can hover for a short period of time. Hold the R button."
"Alright." Mario watched himself hovering above the ground. The twin nozzles fired high pressured water down at the ground, slowly pushing Mario off the ground. Mario was now twelve feet from the floor. "Wow, I like this! YAHOO!!" Mario flew around, once again hitting Sonic with the pressured water.
"MARIO!! STOP GETTING ME WET!!" Sonic shouted, violently shaking his arms.
"SORRY!" Mario shouted, as he landed. "Alright, what else you got, girl?"
"There can only be two nozzles in my systems. To switch the nozzle chip, press the button shown on the extra nozzles to transform to chip mode."
Luigi grabbed the rocket nozzle and pressed a button, and it shrunk into a small chip. Tails took the chip, and walked behind Mario to press a button on the back of Fludd. The twin nozzle turned back to the normal one, and Fludd spit out the hover chip, before Tails replaced it with the rocket chip. Mario pressed the X button, and the nozzle turned into the rocket nozzle.
"With the rocket nozzle, you can launch like a rocket to go to high altitude. Hold down the R button to charge up the pressure. Once reached, it will burst out water vapor to launch you up."
"Better be careful with this one, Mario." Luigi said.
"No problem." As Mario held down the button, the nozzle sucked up so much water, while the nozzle was beeping. When the beeping became faster, BOOM!! Mario burst to the air, almost at the same height as the castle. "WHOOOOAAA!!!" Mario screamed, plummeting to the water, and making a huge geyser that hit Sonic, who was drying himself. Sonic growled, trying to keep his anger in check.
"Mario! Say something!" Luigi shouted as he and Tails ran down the beach.
"I don't think he can talk underwater." Tails said a matter-a-facty.
It took Mario a minute before he surfaced. Sonic who was wet under collar, laughed at the plumber, satisfied that he got a taste of his own medicine.
"Why don't you come over here and laugh, kid?" Mario shouted, floating on the water and refilling Fludd.
Sonic silenced, and Mario smiled since he learned that Sonic hates water. Mario swam back to shore and drained the water from his clothes.
"Hey Fludd, do you have a drying device?" Mario asked, draining the water out of his hat.
"Negative."
"Drat! Alright, give me the other one."
Tails switched the rocket nozzle for the turbo one. Mario transformed the normal one for the turbo one.
"This is the turbo nozzle. Hold down the R button, and you will be able to run at top speed." Fludd said which got Sonic's ear to straighten at the word, speed.
"Okay! Here we go!"
As Mario held down the button, the nozzle burst out water, once again, Sonic got nailed, and the water forced Mario to run.
"WHY ME?!!" Sonic screamed, as he was soaked all over his spiny body and Tails laughed.
Mario shouted for joy, as he ran faster then ever before. He even found that he can hover above water in top speed. Mario jetted through the moat, under the bridge and came out from the left side of the castle to reach back to his friends.
"It official! That one was my favorite!" Mario shouted. "Remind me to send a thank you note to Gadd, Wedgie!"
Sonic stomped up to the plumber, dripping water out of his ears. "Okay! I had it up to here with being splashed with water, plumber-dude!"
"I said I was sorry!" Mario said with a nervous grin, but it still didn't help.
"Uh oh." Tails and Luigi gulped, knowing the rivalry Sonic and Mario had back at Mushroom Way has just begun.
"Are sure it will work?" Peach asked Sally, as the two princesses walked out of the castle.
Sally held a circular blue disk in her hand. She nodded while saying: "Of course. This will be the perfect to track down the emeralds. Now we just have to inform this to......"
Sally noticed Sonic chasing Mario down up on the hill, whom kept jumping out of the way from the wet raging hedgehog.
"Come on, its just water!" Mario shouted, jumping away from the Sonic's charge.
"THAT WATER COULD'VE BEEN POISONOUS!!"
"SONIC!!" Sally yelled, making him stop.
"What's up, Sal?" Sonic asked, skidding through the grass to stop.
"What reason do you have that gives you the right to run Mario like road kill, huh Soniku Hedgehog?"
"Uh well......" Then Sonic did the only thing he could think of: "He threw water on me, mommy!" he whined like a baby.
"And I wonder why I love this baka!" Sally thought, covering her face with her right hand.
"What's that?" Mario asked, walking up to the two.
Sally snapped her head up, being confused for a second until she figured out what was he pointing. "This is going to help us find the Chaos Emeralds. It's a mini satellite radar, not as great as a real one, and it can't go into orbit, but it'll still be reliable. And watch this!" Sally said. She pressed the button on top, and set near her feet. The disc suddenly transformed into a figure Sonic and most of his friends feared the most.
"No!...Not that! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!" Sonic screamed.
It was a robotic Chao. The very same one that appeared everywhere in the Arc incident. It shook its head, and looked up to Sonic and Mario, saying: "Hi, I'm OmoChao!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Sonic's scream was probably heard miles and miles around the Mushroom World.
"Oh not this again!" Sally sighed. "Omochao couldn't be that annoying, can it?"
"Yes it is! I almost lost my mind being bothered by these Chao fakers last week! I know you built those things, but who else helped ya?"
"Rotor."
Sonic growled as he shook his fist: "Remind me to thank him later!"
"Sonic I only sent these things back then to help you. Right now, this will act as a emerald satellite, thanks to scanning the energies of the green emerald we have."
Toad walked up to the robot Chao, and tapped it. OmoChao narrowed its eyes when Toad picked it up.
"What batteries does this thing use?" Toad asked.
"Stop it! Put me down!" Omochao kicked the little mushroom man in the face and got out of his grip.
"That wasn't necessary!" Toad shouted, rubbing the bump on his head.
"You want a piece of me, pizza topping?" Omochao mocked, bouncing back and forth like a boxer.
"Nobody calls me that! Bring it!"
Sonic and the crew watched the little guys about to square off, circling around like fighters in a street fight.
"Geeze, that thing never had spunk when I used it as something to throw at those GUN robots!" Sonic said.
"I guess I must have picked up a frisky one ......wait, you used those as projectiles?" Sally shouted! Was this how Sonic pays her back for trying to help? "Do you know how much the parts cost?"
"A buck at the dollar store?"
"SONIC!!"
Little guy vs. Little guy
You all know Toad as either the good ol reliable, or the mini punching bag. You either love him or hate him, but how can you hate such a little punching bag? In Mario 2, Toad was in fact the fastest turnip pullers out of all the groups, his go-cart skills were unmatched, a reliable item seller, and the perfect shield. Omochao, you either hate him or hate him? Though annoying, he has enough useless but some times useful info for your journey, and he's even a good projectile for enemies.
"Alright here I go! Prepare to be mushroom pizza! CHAO HEADBUTT!!"
The robotic flew forward, and launched himself, head first, at the mushroom attendant and guard, but Toad jumped up, letting the little bot hit his head on a rock. Toad landed and waited for Omochao to get up, but it turns out, the Chao robot was unable. His head has a huge dent, and he was seeing stars.
"What happen? Who am I, and where am I?" Omochao mumbled.
"Oh give me a break." Toad sighed. Toad simply walked toward the robot, picked him up, and field kicked him all the way to the beach. "AW YEAH! WHO'S THE TOADSTOOL!!" Toad did a little victory dance, that looked like a football player would make, followed by the moonwalk, and did a fast spin and a moonwalker pose, tilting his mushroom head like Michael Jackson. "OW!"
"That's it, Toad! No more MTV for a week!" Peach said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Aw nuts!"
"Terrific. Now I gotta repair the blasted thing!" Sally groaned, running to the beach to get Omochao. After she grabbed the damaged robot, she heard a faint sound that sounds kind of like a motor. Then the sound was getting louder and clearer to identify it as an airplane motor. It was so loud, it sounded like it was so close to her, which it was. "WHAT THE...?!!"
Sally ducked under an incoming plane. After it passed, Sally looked over her shoulder, and studied the plane that almost took her head off. It looked like a bi plane made out of barrels, and it was making a landing in the party. The people ran out of its way, out of control, as it headed for a rocky wall. Mighty let it pass him, so he can grab the back landing wheel, and pull the crazy plane to stop. With DK and Knuckles lending a hand, they stop the plane, an inch from the wall, smoking from the engine.
"Whew, that was close. I had enough of my kingdom being destroyed." Peach said.
"Aw dang! There goes my girl, mon!" the pilot cried in a Jamaican accent. "Those damn crocs are gonna pay!"
"Whoa the engine's smoking. Haven't you filled this with oil?" a voice that sound like a raspy little kid's voice.
"Ya, I know how to take care of my wings, Diddy mon!"
"YO FUNKY! DIDDY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" DK shouted.
A large ape, that looks like Donkey Kong, but wore dark sunglasses, a yellow and red bandana on his head, and sandals jumped out of the cockpit, along with a little monkey with a red cap and sleeveless shirt.
"We're okay DK! Ha ha! Just a little sick along the ride, but nothing we can handle, right Funky........uh Funky?"
Diddy found the Jamaican gorilla hanging on the side of his plane, trying to start the engine. After a few tries, the motor blew, giving Funky a pale face. He drop off, and fell to his knees, sniffing like he felt a sad music playing in his mind.
"NOOOOOO!!!!" he screamed, like losing a loved one: his bi-plane. He fell forward, keeping his head over the grass wit his hands. "No....my girl.....my sunny love.....we had good times....all those years washing you....tuning you up, girl......feeding you your favorite motor oil.....but now.....you're gone." as Vector walked up to him, drinking a soda from a can, Funky swiped it, and pour the soda on the grass. "Peace out, girl......I hope you're happy in that.....big.....airport in the sky!" Finally, once he pushed himself up, his eye popped when he saw Vector at his right. Funky grabbed the croc by the neck, and shook him. "IT WAS YOUR DAMN FAULTS YOU CROCS! YOU HURT MY BABY, YOU STUPID KREMLING, MON!!"
"~Ack~.....LET GO....BOY!"
"Funky, let go of him! He's not one of the Kremlings!" DK shouted, trying to break Funky's grip for Vector.
"He's not?" Funky asked, instantly switching to clueless mode. He looked at Vector and then let him go. "Sorry, mon! I thought you were one of those crocs!"
"Yo I don't know what the heck you're talking about!" Vector shouted, rubbing his neck, and then walked away, mumbling: "Sheesh, like I need some monkey squeezing by throat, ya know what I'm saying?"
"What's the big emergency that you guys had to show up, crashing the party?" DK asked.
"Big trouble back at the island, DK mon! K.Rool tried to steal the Crystal Coconut, and Cranky wants you back before he tries again, mon!"
"Is that all? No sweat! Just get me back home, and I'll Banana Slam them!"
"You have to go back home?" Sally asked, walking up to them. "Hey, mind if some of us come with you to help? I mean we could use some of your friends to help us afterwards, and after what happen yesterday, there's bound to be some else happening there."
Funky dashed up to Sally, and then bowed down; tilting his shades down to get a clear look at her.
"Hello there, girl! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Funky Kong, pilot and party dude extraordinaire!"
DK poked his shoulder, whispering in his ear: "Uh Funky, she's taken."
"Damn it."
"How come you guys didn't go through the warp pipes?" Mario asked.
"Somebody sealed them off." Diddy said. "And we know that you guys are the only ones who has the keys to open them."
"Who would seal the warp pipes off?" Peach asked. It's impossible to seal off the pipes, not without the right magic.
"What do you expect? Eggman, and turtle boy!" Sonic said, crossing his arms. "With Eggman around they don't need the pipes, so they seal them in to slow us down."
"I don't know about that....Bowser doesn't have the power to seal off the pipes, and neither does this Eggman." Peach said. "Well it look like your plane isn't going anywhere and...." Peach was interrupted by the cries of sorrow from Funky Kong. "Uh....so you guys can take my plane."
"Wait.....you have a plane? Since when?" Mario asked. How come he never heard about this, and why would they need a plane if they can use the pipes?
"Since forever! Where have you been?" Peach mocked, making Mario embarrassed. As always, she loves embarrassing Mario.
Somewhere under the earths near the castle, Peach showed the group a place Mario had never been before: A huge hanger that looks like any hanger, except with the Mushroom Kingdom logo around. Parked in the hanger lies a pink jet.
"This is the Toadstool Airline (A/N: Unless you guys know what its really called.). I haven't used it in a while, but its still works like new." Peach said. "You guys can use this, but only my pilot is going to fly it."
"Great, we can get back to Congo Bongo!" Candy said. She would like to help out the Chaos Emerald thing, but her home is important. "Who's coming with us?"
"I'll be the judge of that." Sally said, moving in front of the group and then facing them, pulling out her computer. "Okay, of course the residence of Congo Bongo will venture there, but also Sonic and Mario will accompany you guys, and so will Knuckles and Rouge."
"WHAT?!" Knuckles screamed. This is just what he need, teaming up with the bat-girl again. Another day of being mocked and kicked around.
"Um....sure.....no problem." Mario nervously said.
Sonic raised a brow at him. What's his deal with the sweat? It's like he's afraid to go to this island. What, he got a girl he likes there?
"Hey Mario, you better bring that water thing with ya, cause I'm not going to carry you." Sonic said.
"Sure...no problem."
"Hey mon, what about my wings?" Funky asked.
"Don't worry about it. I'll fix it for you." Tails said. "It'll defiantly need a new engine, but I'll fix her better then new."
"Aw, thank you cuz!" Funky cried, squeezing the life out of Tails. "Please save her life, mon!"
"~Ack~ ....Lungs........lack......AIR!!"
Moments later, the selected group entered the plane, and it flew out of the hanger, that was buried in a hill. The princesses and Tails waved them off, until Geno came up from behind.
"Did I miss anything?" he asked.
"Nothing much. Mario and some of the others are going to help Donkey Kong's island." Peach said.
"Now uh....Mr. Geno, you haven't finished up on why you are here." Sally said.
"Well I am from a place called the Star Road, or Star Haven if you want to call it that. A green beam from this planet shot the land, and the Star Road is slowly turning into a green emerald substance. I'm here to find out what's going on!"
"Hmm.....that beam....it must have been the energies of the Master Emerald." Sally said. "…Which also explains the rings popping up everywhere."
"How so?" Peach asked.
"Let me, Aunt Sally. The Master Emerald is the most powerful force in our world, our universe, and it seems this Star Road is this world's powerful source. If both have the power to hold both our world's, then my guess is that combining both powers would lead to merging our worlds to one!"
"You mean Mobius is merging with this world?" Sally asked.
"That's the theory!"
"We need to hurry then. My men told me that a fog barrier surrounds Bowser's castle, so we can't go through." Peach said.
"Yes. We need to hurry to find the emeralds; otherwise you can call this place, the Mushroom Mobius!" Sally said.
end of part 9....................
Max: Cool, both worlds are merging? How will our heroes handle this? Just hope the next Sonic and Mario comes up.
