Me: Long time no see. I do not own any Sonic or Mario elements.
Sonic: Yeah! Where the....
Amy/Sally: SONIC!!!!
Sonic: Sorry. Where have you been?
Me: Well....
Terriermon: He's been hanging around with us, so Momentai, ol Sega leader!
Sonic: Who invited this rabbit?
(Max whistles.)
Me: Yes its been a while but I'm back with another chapter, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.
(Max contains laughter.)
Terra: Not like that you perv!
--------------------------------------------Sonic & Mario---------------------------------
Yo the name's Donkey Kong! DK for short. What a day we had! Just when me and my girl, Candy, took a visit to the Mushroom Kingdom, some punk ambushed me, and ran like the freakin coward he is. Me and my boy, Mario, along with his dorky brother, Luigi, chased down the yellow punk, but mistaken him for a dude named Sonic the Hedgehog. He was cool, helping us take down Bowser and some egg bum name Dr....Eggman, I think. Then the next day, Funky and Diddy crashed the party, telling us that freakin retard, K.Rool, is up to his lame tricks again. Watch out, croc b***! DK is coming back, and this time he's packin more trouble!
Chapter 25- Congo Chaos
Over the sea, on a plane, near the clouds. You can see lots of beauty from the air over the water. Sure there's nothing to see but miles and miles of salt water, but there is the cool clear blue of the water, reflecting the color of the sky. So clear and peaceful, no signs of litter plaguing the tranquil liquid that covers half of the planet.....
"Yo plumber man!"
Mario yelped from gazing in the ocean by Sonic's shout. His brain just tuned in to the coach room of the royal plane. He, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Knuckles, Rouge, and Candy were making a stop to DK's home, Congo Bongo.
"Geese, kid, you scared me. What do you want?"
"Does this plane show any movies?"
"No..."
"Then what's with the screen on the front?"
"Its......I don't know. Just relax." Mario said, trying to end the conversation. Sonic gave up, shrugging as he put back on his headphones.
The inside of the plane was rather.....pink. So pink, Rouge is thinking of being a Goth, annoyed of looking at the color all the time. Mario and Sonic sat on the right side of the plane, behind Diddy, where Mario was in the window seat, and Sonic was next to him, trying to find any good music. The others were at the left side, where DK and Candy were being all lovey dovey, making out, and Knuckles and Rouge sat before them, finding their act rather annoying.
(A/N: I'm sure you know the plane from Mario Sunshine.)
"Ah, I feel much better letting it out." somebody said.
Sonic and the group looked over their shoulder to find the red and black armadillo walking out of the bathroom.
"Mighty? What are you doing here?" Sonic asked.
"Um....trying to find the bathroom. Uh....are we flying?"
"Yes."
"Crap!"
"Looks like you're stuck with us. Just sit back, I'll tell Sal you're with us."
Mighty jumped in the seat behind the two, gazing out the window while pulling out a bag of peanuts from his glove.
"So where are we going?"
"DK's isle." Sonic answered, turning on his communicator watch. "Some trouble going under down there."
"Terrific..." Mario mumbled.
"And what's wrong going over there, plumber-man?" Sonic asked.
Mario gazed back through the window, saying softly. "......nothing."
"Man, all he needs is Goth clothes and its complete." Mighty said.
"You said it.......oh here we go.....Yo Sal!"
Mario stared into the ocean blue, trying to forget a past that haunted him for years as the plane flew to its destination: Congo Bongo.
Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Sally slowly walked through the halls of the castle while she talked to Sonic through her computer, Nicole.
"Mighty is with you? Why?"
"Bathroom break and he got lost."
"Oh well that's smart of him." she sarcastically said. "Don't worry, we might as well let him tag along."
"No prob, Sal. Any luck with the emeralds?"
"I'm still going through the world map, deciding who should go where."
"You mean you found them all?"
"No, but one is on the second land next to this one. Just hurry back as soon as you can, Sonic."
"You know me, Sal. Just enough juice to get things done less then five minutes."
"Yeah, just keep bragging, spine boy."
"I know you are but what am I?"
"You're such a child. We'll argue later, okay."
"Aw, and I was winning. Alright, I'll see ya soon, Sally." ~click~
"Bye.....Sonikku...." she happily sighed as her mind drift into outer space.
"Oh if that ain't the cutest thing I heard, I don't know what is." Peach said, coming out from the other hall, startling Sally.
"You eavesdropper!"
"Sorry but I just couldn't resist." the pink princess laughed. "So what do you have?"
"Well, after quickly fixing Omo-Chao, I found our next emerald at this land next to this one."
"Tadpole Pond. That's where Mallow used to live before he found his parents."
"Hmm...." Sally once again switched back to her computer. "Nicole, give me much data on the land as you can."
"Accessing OmoChao satellite.........land 40% swamp, 60% forest. Scan possible grid map, Sally?"
"Yes, good idea. Proceed with map."
"Processing map. Complete in 30 minutes."
"Okay, since Mallow knows that place, he should guide some others. Since its swamp, I'll have to appoint Vector, and Espio for the forest, though I would like someone from your side to join as well."
"Well Luigi is with Tails in the auto garage, fixing Funky's plane, so he'll be too busy. Geno went back to Star Haven to check out the emerald energy that's spreading there, and don't bother tagging Daisy along, no way!"
Just at that moment, a toad guard came through the halls, walking toward the princesses.
"Excuse me your highnesses."
"Please don't call me that. Its just Ms Sally Acorn."
"My apologies, Ms. Acorn, but I must inform you that like the warp pipe to Congo Bongo, the pipe to Kero Sewers has been sealed off."
"Oh just terrific." Peach groaned. "That's the only way to get to the other land."
"Don't you have any more planes?"
"Only one, and that's already been used. We can't get Tadpole Pond, unless you wanna climb down a cliff the height of the Empire State building?"
"I'll pass....whatever that building is, it sounds pretty high." Sally said, scratching her head. "I guess we'll have to figure out someway to get there, cause what Knuckles told me once, Vector can't climb well. What about those power-ups?"
"They won't last long for that height."
"~groan~.....we might as well hope Sonic and the others be back with the plane quick."
"Or you can call back and ask them to fly the plane back when they're dropped off at the island."
"Oh yeah."
Meanwhile, the plane was about meters away from the island of DK's. If they were high enough, they could see that the island was the shape of a banana. However on the middle was a mountain carved into DK's head.
"Look at that head. Are that much of royalty, DK?" Rouge asked.
"Not really. That was there LONG before I was born. Probably my ancestors or something."
Suddenly, the plane was starting to shake like someone shaking a milkshake. The pilot held on to the controls as tight as he could while the toads were thrown off from their seats like sitting on a mad dryer.
"What's going on? Turbulence?" one of the toads asked.
Before Funky answered, he checked the console. "No little toad mon! Fuel leakage."
"Uh oh!"
"No problem, little mon, we got enough elbow juice for a land.! I can land this girl easily on a dime, mon! Now step aside, mon!" Funky shouted as he shoved the pilot away from the seat.
As Funky tried to gain control, the other toad grabbed the radio and talked like a lazy pilot.
"Ehhh....passengers we're experiencing some turbulence, so...ehhhh....please snap in your seat belts while the pilot lands,....ehhh....thank you."
The gang snapped in their seat belts as the plane violently shook. Candy held on to DK for comfort while Knuckles, without even thinking, held onto Rouge around her neck.
"I must not fear. Fear's the mind killer. Fear's the little death that brings total oblivion." Diddy chanted over and over, trying not to freak.
As the plane hovered over the runway that was near the beach, the wheels lowered, touching the wooden runway (A/N: That's right, wooden.) With grace and skill, surprisingly from Funky, the plane safely landed, and slowed down the engines.
"Yeah, mon! Another perfect landing by Fuuuuunky Kong! Hoooo!" the Jamaican gorilla howled.
Later on, everyone got out of the pink plane. Funky and the toads checked the insides to find out what caused the plane to fail like that.
"Yo, monkey breath! I'm waiting!" Sonic snorted while he crossed his arms and tapped his foot.
"Just show a little more patients, kid." Mario said.
"Trust me, Sonic has VERY short patients." Knuckles whispered.
"Found it!" Funky shouted.
The group gathered behind Funky who was inside the composite trunk.
"So what was it?" DK asked.
"This, Donkey dude!" Funky said as he held up a small little croc with huge teeth. "This little guy was chewing up the gas tank, mon!"
"What is that, a piranha croc?" Rouge asked.
"Something like that."
Everyone looked at the thing with awe, but Mario winced away from it, acting like he was afraid of it. Mario then walked up to Funky, gesturing his hand to tell Funky to hand over the croc. Mario grab it by the tail, avoid it snapping as he walked near the shore. After he tossed it up, kicked the thing far like a soccer ball, and watched it drop far to the sea.
"Man, what's his problem, DK?" Sonic asked.
"Its....nothing." DK said, though Sonic didn't buy it. He was going to retort but just then, Sonic's communicator rang.
"Hello?"
"Oh Sonic, can you get Funky to fly the plane back? I need it to...."
"Uh, Sal. You're....not gonna like this."
Sonic whispered through the com, but after he did, the others can hear what Sally said.
"AW NUTS!!!!"
"What's wrong?" Peach asked as Sally hung up the com.
"The plane broke down by a big mouth croc!"
"Oh don't we feel special!" Peach sarcastically said. "Can we use Tails' plane?"
"No, its in repairs after that fight with Koopazoid. Now we're sitting duck until at least Tails fix the plane, which may take a while."
In a dark plane, a place unknown, Shadow and Wario watched the events through a crystal ball, like those witches in the fairy tales would. The dark area seemed to lack a floor. It was like Shadow and Wario stood on mid-air. Though the dark field was also covered in fog.
"And yet there lies the princesses, helplessly useless, as the two warlords of evil freely can gather the emeralds." Shadow said.
"Uh, we already have a narrator for this fic." Wario said.
"Shut up." the dark hedgehog growled. "Masters, you warned us to not gather the emeralds until anyone of these fools do. What if it would be difficult to steal them from Eggman and Koopa?"
"It would not matter who collects them. The two tyrants are of no match of my/our power. However there is two others chosen for my/our experiment."
Another orb appeared next to the other and they showed an image of Vector and Mighty.
"Two of those foolish Chaotix?" Shadow asked.
"Yes. The armadillo is heading to the island where he will meet his opponent. But the reptile's, his is also at that island. I/we believe the princesses may need a little help if to complete my/our plans."
"Okay plumber-man! Now what?"
In the boardwalk where Funky and Candy's house lies, the group gathered, waiting for either somebody to come up with what to do next.
"Um...I think we should spilt up and find out what's going on here."
"But wouldn't be easier to ask Cranky on what's going on? Besides, he wants to see DK." Diddy said.
"Uh....sure.....but I'll just stay here and help repair the plane."
"Why? Funky seems to have it under control." said Sonic, wondering why Mario was staying where none is needed. "Come on, plumber-man!"
"Look, all I can say is that I have issues with DK's old man, alright!"
Closing his eyes tight, he walked by the group, heading toward the path they were gonna journey. Sonic watched him walk by, curious to what problems Mario had with DK's old man.
"Hey Donkey. I know its none of my business, but what's his deal with your old man?"
"Uh....sorry, he told me not to tell anyone about it. Only me and Luigi knew about what happened between the two, because we were there."
"You mean Peach or anyone else don't know the deal?"
DK shook his head. "He just doesn't want to talk about it, so just do not mention any of it, okay."
"~sigh~...Okay fine, I won't."
Back outside of the town of Toad Town, Amy sat near the large lake that laid in front of the town line, dropping her tears in the water as she watched her reflection ripple like her very heart is on the verge to break apart when replaying what Daisy said to her over and over.
"...listen to yourself. Its pathetic; going around chasing some guy who obliviously doesn't have any feelings for you past friendship!"
She didn't have to be so mean, she thought. Okay, so Amy spends most of her time chasing Sonic, and nowadays, she fights over Sally for him. But is it really that pathetic, chasing Sonic, and trying to force him to love her instead of just moving on? She can't help it; Sonic is her hero, her idol, her crush. But if there's no Sonic, what else she's going to do in life? What?
"You know, you sure run a long way for a place you never been to."
Gasping, she snapped her head over her shoulder to find Princess Daisy calmly sitting right next to her. The pink hedgehog frowned and turned away from her to throw rocks at the lake.
"Okay, be like that." the yellow dressed girl shrugged.
"What do you want?" Amy coldly asked.
Daisy sighed, knowing this is not going to be easy. "Look, I just came here to apologizes. I was wrong, I shouldn't of hurt your feelings like that." Amy still seemed to not be paying attention, but never the less, Daisy continued. "I only came to tell you about Sally. She only wishes to friends rather then fighting over Sonic like a neat dress on sale."
Though they were silent for a few seconds, Amy finally responded out of the blue. "I don't buy it."
"Okay, don't believe me, but that what she wants, nothing more."
The two were no in complete silence. None haven't spoke, but continued to throw rocks in the lake. Daisy still had some things to say, but didn't had the heart, not until Amy says something. Amy still wrapped her arms around her knees, looking as if she just finished crying. It was as if she didn't have any chipper sprit in her shell, like she usually had.
"Why is it....Sonic likes her more then me?"
Daisy was caught in surprise. She had her guard off, expecting Amy not to be speaking sooner.
"Well....that's just how it is. I don't think Sally gotten Sonic's attention on purpose.....I guess that's just life."
"Do you.....really think its.....pathetic of me to be.....stalking Sonic all the time?"
As much as Daisy would like to fully answer that, she doesn't want to hurt Amy anymore then she is now.
"Um.....well its just that...."
Amy frowned, lowering her head back in her knees. "You don't have to answer that. I know you were gonna say yes."
"Hey look, I didn't mean it by any harm. You're just a kid, going in some boy crazed fad."
Amy started to break into tears. "Yeah....Sonic and Sally are too much of a couple. I can't compete against that."
"Well....then they really deserve each other." with that said, Amy broke into sobbing. "Geese, I'm not good at this." Daisy held a hand on Amy's shoulder, trying to cheer her up. "Aw come on! Stop with the crying. Its not the end of the world."
Amy's tears then calmed, as she turned her attention over to Daisy. "Its....not?"
"Come on, just forget about the blue guy, and girlfriend, you could do better."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean, you know what they say: There's plenty of fish in the sea...."
Amy wasn't listening to the fish part. Her mind drifted, like she was inspired from something in the heavens.
"You're right!" Amy shouted.
"I am?"
"Yeah! I can do better!" Amy stood up, pumping her fist with recovered confidents. The negative emotions disappeared from her face, completely, like it was never there at all. "I'm gonna try harder to make Sonic mine!"
Daisy nearly fell back. "But....that's not what I meant!"
"Thanks!" Amy shouted as she ran back to the castle.
"That little girl.......~groan~....not to self: Never have kids!"
The jungle of Congo Island, sometimes called DK Island, was as quiet as ever, with the exception of nature's music. A dirt path surround by fresh green tropical trees that covered the sky so much, only golden light beamed through the openings. A path where the group led by Donkey Kong walked along. But the guardian of the island's Crystal Coconut took a upper route with Diddy, hoping on one branch to another. On the path below, Mario, Sonic, Candy, Knuckles, Rouge, and Mighty walked. Sonic however was almost desperate to start running. We all know how much patients Sonic have, and one of the things he hates is being slow. But Mario told Sonic to not live them behind the dust.
"Man, it could've taken us five minutes or less to get there, but noooooo! Plumber-man wanted to travel the slow and steady way!" Sonic complained.
"And could you carry all of us?" Mario asked which he got from Sonic was a 'Uh......'. "We have to save our energies for whatever is out there."
"Yo, Diddy! You didn't explain what happened. What was K.Rool up to, besides trying to take the coconut?" DK asked as he and his little friend swung on the vines like Tarzan.
"Well, I don't know. Chunky was taking care of your job, but Dixie said K.Rool had one of his goons use some kind of a mech to take the coconut."
DK had to land on a vine to fully understand. "A mech? What's a mech?"
"Robots." Sonic answered from below. "But...do these croc dudes have the needs to make mechs?"
"No, the only machine we seen them use was a barrel saucer. It was used to scare us off; make us think they were aliens." Diddy said.
"Guys look at this!" Candy shouted from ahead.
The group rushed in to join Candy, who was on the edge of a hill. None couldn't help to keep their jaws up when ahead of the path were strange landscapes no Mushroom World being seen before. The parts of the road where twisted in loops and twists. There were buggy robots flying around the path as well.
"It.....it looks.....like the zones in our world!" Mighty gasped with beaded eyes.
"But....how?" Knuckles asked.
Sonic then focused on his communicator. "Sal, pick up! Do you read?"
"Read you. What's the problem?"
"The island! There's obstacles from our world everywhere!"
"As I feared. Geno just informed us that a while ago yesterday, Robotnik fired a beam of the Master Emerald's energy at a place called Star Haven. Both powers of the Star Haven and the Master Emerald's are forcing Mobius to merge with this one."
"That explains this nutty place! So what now? How do we stop it?"
"I don't know. Geno is trying to examine the realm there. All we can do now is collect all the Chaos Emeralds. I believe they are the key to stop the merging worlds. Just hurry and finish your mission quick."
"In a Sonic second! Over and out!" After turning off the communicator, Sonic looked ahead at the new landscape. It was exactly like the zones in his world, full of twist and deadly traps, and to top it off, Badniks roamed the land. Sure, he, Knuckles, and Mighty have experience going through zones like this, but he's not too sure about Rouge, and Mario and the mushroom gang probably never been in any danger like this. "Rouge, have you...?"
"Yeah, plenty of times, after hunting for jewels. You can never take a break from places like this."
"Good....but...." Sonic sternly looked at Mario and the gang. "...these guys...."
"So? It seems to be just like our zones." Mario shrugged.
"Mario, I don't know about your zones, but ours take speed to get through them, and there are lot of Badniks swarming around it too!"
"Makes no difference. You forget I now have Fludd to help me."
"And me, Diddy, and Candy are good climbers. We can dish out what ever or who ever throws at us! Besides this is the only path to Cranky's place."
Feeling trapped in a corner, Sonic sighed in defeat. "Don't say I didn't warn you."
(Play Green Forest from SA2)
Without wasting any time, the gang slid down arched ledge while Knuckles and Rouge glided through the skies above them. Sonic jumped up high above the Kongs till he landed first on the path, and then dashed away. Mario then a button on his handles to activate the booster nozzle on FLUDD.
"Booster nozzle ready." Fludd said.
"LET ER' RIP!!!"
With a large burst of water, Mario hovered above the dirt, matching Sonic's speed.
"WAIT FOR US!!!" Diddy shouted.
As the Kongs ran as fast as they can when they touched the path, Candy tied her hair to a pony tail, to prevent it from not blocking her view. (A/N: Picture her hair like from the cartoon, only with a small ponytail.)
The three Kongs jumped up on floating dirt platforms that led to a large rocky hill. But waiting for them was two Buzz Bombers that rocketed toward DK, charging their lasers. Donkey jumped with incredible might and crashed into one of them, and as he landed on the rocky hilltop, he crushed the bot beneath his feet.
"BANANA SLAMMA!!!"
Mighty took the low road like Sonic and Mario. Though he was slower then most of the Mobians, he was fast enough to run on the loop. But after he past it, a couple of Crabmeat bots stood in his way, but they were demolished when Mighty ran past them, fists first.
Knuckles and Rouge flew over part of the trail that had tall palm trees. But then from the trees came flying bombs. The two gliders maneuvered from the bombs, but then Knuckles got nailed.
"KNUCKLES!!" Rouge cried.
Luckily for her, rings spread out from the smoke. Knuckles collected a few rings while he was gliding. Not even letting the cloud fade, Knuckles dived at the trees in his patented drill spin. He crashed the ground, causing dust to fly, like a bomb just hit. While dust was rising, a robot Badnik called Coconuts crawled out of the dust. Just as soon it stood up...
"ARRRRGH!!!"
Like a mad bull, Knuckles charged at the robot and thrust his fist hard, making it fly forty feet ahead.
"Wow! He never fought like that in out battle in the ARC." Rouge muttered.
Sonic and Mario revved through the zone, going through loops and loops, twist through twist. Mario was having a blast; the zone felt like those rides in amusement parks back home. Sonic Spin Dashed through a couple of Badniks that stood there way. Feeling that he didn't want to be bested by Sonic, Mario then fired a couple of fireballs at the incoming Buzz Bombers. As more came, both heroes jumped high up, using jump attacks and Homing attacks at the flying Badniks.
Just then as they were still airborne, Sonic and Mario saw a large canyon up ahead. They also saw a arched edge that may help them get through. After landing, pouring all their power of energy and water, the two jumped off the ramp and soared high over the canyon, where far below, they can see a jungle with a river cutting between it.
"Uh.....this canyon is pretty far!" Mario shouted. "Look like we won't be making it to the other side."
He was right, cause even with their might, it wasn't enough to make it to the other ledge. The canyon was almost a mile long. It would appear that they would now fall to their doom, but then Sonic grinned when he saw a pack of Buzz Bombers heading their way.
"Not really, Plumber-man!"
Spinning with full power, Sonic dashed away in mid-air, performing his Homing Attack and crashing into one Badnik to the other. Mario still was soaring with his powered up Fludd, but he knew he wouldn't make it, and he was falling fast. But as if heaven was smiling down upon him, a survived Buzz Bomber emerged from the smoke. Mario grabbed its head and pushed himself on its back. The wasp robot shook uncontrollably, and Mario did his best to stay on.
"Mario!" Fludd cried.
Responding to her warning, Mario spotted two more Buzz Bombers heading his way. Mario jumped off the Buzz Bomber's back to soar high to stomp the other two.
The Kongs finally made it through the path by swing on the vines, but there was a problem.
"Uh.....wasn't there a bridge here?" Diddy asked.
"Forget that! Wasn't our island smaller then this?" Candy asked.
"Hey how could barrels float in mid-air like that?" Mighty asked as he pointed down at a barrel floating in mid air, below near the canyon wall.
"A barrel cannon!" DK cheered as he jumped off the cliff. Once DK jumped inside, the barrel pointed toward the other side and launched DK far.
"Uh....wow?" Mighty muttered.
Soon, one by one, the others followed. The cannon only led to another cannon and another, which helped cross the canyon, and also pass Sonic, who was still crashing the Badniks like a pinball.
"HEY! HOW DARE YOU PASS ME!!!" Sonic shouted.
Mario on the other hand was out of Badniks to help get across, but since he was close to the ledge, he activated the booster to help fly to the cliff, while Sonic pumped up the power and Home Spinned the Badniks in twice the speed until the two finally made it to the other side, where the Kongs and Mighty awaited.
"See! Slow and steady does win the race!" Candy teased.
"Very funny!" Sonic snorted.
"Is there a end point? Cause sometimes in my zone, I have to slide down a flagpole, or go in this black area where I have to hit a random block." Mario said.
"Well there's always a marker at every zone. If we reach it and spin it to either whoever's picture, I think the zone will return to normal."
"Well lets-a be off!" Mario shouted, rocketing away.
Sonic growled, dashing after Mario. "Not without me getting there first, Water-Boy!"
"I should've known their feud haven't ended." DK sighed.
Far on top of a larger cliff, Shadow and Wario sat on some rocks, watching the group brave through the new zone with binoculars.
"Well, as I expected. The rivalry between Sonic and the plumber is still burning well." Shadow said before he took a sip of his root beer.
"What? We're still aiming to make those fools fight?" Wario asked, munching on his many snacks.
"Have you been watching their last fight? If you remembered, the plumber's twin brother faired against the two tailed child, the guardian triumphed over the gorilla, the Mushroom princess defeated the Mobian princess, but Sonic and the plumber's ended in a draw. The fight with the guardians' mates were also in a drawback. The two females will be continued later, but Sonic and the plumber is the pride and main event for the masters' little experiment."
"Though....I'm still wondering....~munch~....what's the point with making these guys fight?"
"Heh....if you had been listening, I'd given you a pinch of respect, but you're just gonna have to ask the masters."
"NO THANKS!.......Anywise, the score is: Mario duds: 2. Hedgehog dweebs: 1. Five bucks say my team wins."
"Deal, but you underestimate my beings."
Further away from the Kongs, Mario skidded on a small pond on the right side of the road to refuel the Fludd. Sonic ran on the dry side, collecting rings along the way. After Mario was out of range from the pond, he jumped forward on a spring, that launched him high on a another hill, which was actually another loop where Sonic ran through.
Speaking of Sonic, he looked back at Mario, wondering why he was hanging back. Oh well, he was gonna win this one. Sonic was just about to reach to the marker, but then.....
BOOM!!
An incredible force drifted Sonic far back to about a few feet. He stood up, wiping the dust off himself.
"What was.....?"
He saw in front of him a large tree, but the question is: What caused it to fall. Beneath his feet, the earth shook, one beat at a time. Experience showed that when something like this happens, there could be giant robot making way. And he was right cause emerging from the trees came a large yet familiar robot.
"Whoa! Long time no see!"
It was the same robot that wrecked havoc upon the Mushroom Hill zone back in Angel Island ages ago, only this time the robot is equipped with large legs and feet that looks as if it can crush a tank easily. But of course, it held a ax, larger then the old one.
Sonic returned to reality just in time to catch eye of the robot's large foot hurtling towards him, and allow Sonic to Spin Dash out of the way before the foot that gave a thundering pound sound crushed him.
"Bigger and badder, aye Axel?" Sonic said with a grin. He always figured that the bigger they are, the harder Sonic nails. Sonic launched forward with a Sonic Spin, but the armor deflected back the hedgehog. Sonic stood back up, rubbing the bump on his head. "Man, Eggman dressed ya with tougher armor, huh?"
The giant robot, or Axel, as Sonic calls it, rose its giant axe high to deliver a mighty swing, but then a barrel made way and exploded on 'Axel's' torso.
"Wha...?" Sonic swung his head over his shoulder to see Mario still on top of the loop, holding a barrel over his head.
"I figured there was something waiting ahead, cause why would there be a TNT barrel here?" Mario said. "Experience taught me that!"
"Show off!" Sonic muttered.
With that said, Mario tossed another barrel, this time in direct hit on the head.
"Aim for the head! The weak spot is always the head!"
"Hey don't you think I know that?"
After Mario rolled his eyes, he gasp when he saw the robot's shoulder's open up to reveal a couple of missiles. The missiles fired, rocketing toward the plumber hero.
"Mama mia!"
Mario jumped high up into the air, but the missiles' blast was enough to blast Mario into the trees.
"Aw crap!" Sonic gulped.
Axel slammed its foot, missing the speedy hedgehog. Sonic then ran circles around the giant robot as it tried to use its ax on the blue hero. Sonic then climbed on a tree till he then sprung from a branch and used his Homing Attack on the robot's head. After landing, Axel fired another missile that chased the hedgehog in a circle.
"Okay, you think I don't know how to get away from these bombers? Think again.....GAH!!!"
However for some reason, the missiles already exploded, blowing Sonic off his feet.
It would appear, coming from Axel's glowing red eyes, that it set the missiles to go off. Robotnik defiantly programmed axel to be smarter then it looks.
Sonic struggled to push himself up, but looking at the large shadow, he doesn't have to look above to notice Axel's large foot about to crush him. Time seem to freeze for Sonic as he just looked above, but then at the stroke of luck, a huge blast collided on Axel's head, destroying it for good.
After Sonic rolled out of the way, Knuckles and Rouge landed near.
"Did you guys do that?"
"Yeah. I Drill Spinned that hunk of junk when I saw you in trouble." Knuckles answered.
"Too bad it wasn't enough, Rad Red!"
Axel, a headless one, still was functional, and it slammed its ax on the heroes, who at the last second jumped out of the way.
"Okay, any suggestions?"
"I got one!" someone shouted.
Just then, a couple of bombs exploded on the large robot, but it didn't gave a scratch. Mario then flip jumped out of the trees with style, landing before the Mobians with rings in his hands.
"Nice entrance." Rouge said.
"Thanks."
"Okay, what's your plan, Plumber-man?" Sonic asked as he crossed his arms.
"I remembered Peach used these rings to use her Psych Bombs."
"So?"
"So......" the rings in Mario's hands glowed in intense gold light, right before the power disappeared in his palms. Mario used the power to charge pure pyro energy. "SUPER FLAME!!!!"
Thrusting his hands, he fired large blasts of fire right at the torso of Axel. Mario poured all the power he had from the rings, blowing the fire like a dangerous fire breathing dragon. Sonic and the gang had to cover themselves from the intense heat. Finally, Mario stopped the attack just to catch his breath and wipe the sweat off his face.
"Okay, all I see is Axel's body glowing red." Sonic said.
"Don't you go to school?" Mario asked as he aimed Fludd at Axel. "Fludd, full blast!"
Fludd fired a high pressured blast of water at the part Mario gave fire. Soon after Fludd was out of pressure, steam came out of Axel, and then its chest started to crack.
"Oh yeah! Throwing fire and then cooling it off weakens metal." Sonic said.
"What are you waiting for, kid? Wipe him out!"
Glaring at Mario, Sonic used his Homing Attack, busting through the cracked armor. When Sonic entered inside, the robot vibrated, which it was obvious Sonic was bouncing everywhere inside, right before Sonic escaped from the head of the robot. Right as Sonic landed, Axel's parts fell apart, like stack of toy blocks.
"Nice try, Axel!" Sonic shouted while doing his pose.
"Great idea, Mario!" Knuckles said as he shook his hand.
"Really smart thinking, Italian boy." Rouge seductively said, making Mario blush tomato red.
Sonic's face fell, feeling so ignored like he was a lump of meat loaf lying on the dirt.
"But I bust up that walking tree chopper!" he whined.
Just then, Sonic heard a familiar twinkle sound. Looking up on the sky, he saw a spinning marker hurtling down.
"Look, a zone marker! If we get that, maybe we can get the zone back to normal!" Knuckles said.
"I got it!" Sonic said, trying to catch the marker.
"No I got it!" Mario called.
The two heroes jumped up to the marker, like raging guard dogs you see in cartoons. Every time they touched the marker, it bounces back up.
"Hey! I walked over that bot! I get to do the honors!" Sonic said as he tried to pin Mario down.
"But I came up with the plan!"
The two tackled each other, like a pair of second graders fighting over a toy. But while all the fighting, they failed to notice a small figure touch the marker, and let it hit the dirt. Finally from their wresting positions, Mario being pinned by Sonic, they notice the marker forming a picture of a little female gorilla with a pink hat and blouse, and a long pony tail.
"Hi! Look it made a picture of me! ~giggle~"
"Aw......Dixie." Mario sighed as he and Sonic sweatdropped.
Inside the giant, evil castle of Koopa, the king of Koopas, along with the mad scientist, Dr. Robotnik, observed the battle with Sonic, Mario, and the new improved Axel in Robotnik's new computer room.
"Well look at that. They crushed cans over your little toy." Bowser smirked.
"The Ax-Raider Badnik was of no use to me. It was just used to search for a Chaos Emerald in that area, which there was none. Right now, we should take this opportunity to comb areas that have the emeralds while those two waste their time on a piece of dirt."
"And where is one?"
"The nearest one is at a land next to the Mushroom Kingdom."
"Tadpole Pond."
"Yes, and chosen for this assignment is someone that would prove most value." Robotnik said, pointing his eyes at a being in the shadows, which only its red eyes could be seen.
With the marker, the zone returned back to normal, and the group continued their journey over to Cranky's treehouse. They finally came up to the bridge that connects to the house, which was a large house with a monkey in front holding two bananas like pillars. The mouth was opened, showing like a door.
"You know, seeing all this weird stuff, I have to come up with some excuse for Bluster to skip work." Candy said.
"Oh you mean you're going to help us?" Rouge asked.
"Of course. Me and DK are too much involved as it is anyway."
Right as the group inched near the entrance, Mario stood far behind the gang.
"Alright, what's wrong....oh yeah, the beef with this old guy?" Sonic asked.
"I....don't want to talk about it."
"Hey its alright. Just wait out here, Mario." DK said before Mario nodded.
The gang then walked inside the house. Sonic and Mighty looked around the base, noticing all the vials and chemicals in every spot. From the looks of it, it would seem this old man had a thing for potions. Probably some kind of a witch wanna-be. Right at the center of the room was a egg-shaped vase on a small table.
"Man, Mighty, look at the smoking junk." Sonic whispered.
"Yeah. Does this guy make magic stuff, or liquor?"
"I heard that, ya weird yahoos!"
Coming from another room, a short old gorilla with a large white beard, and a old cane slowly walked inside, pacing to the young group with a sour look.
"Bout time you bring your hairy ass here, Donkey. Ya big retard!" Cranky said, hitting DK on the head with his cane.
"OKAY! Geese, old man! What happen here?"
"You young fools. Always fantasizing of doing the crazy monkey and failing to listen to an old man's great wisdom! Why in my day..."
"I don't have time for a flashback! Just tell me!"
"Hrmph!" Cranky walked back, facing his back toward DK. "Well I'm sure Diddy told you, but K.Rool came here to steal the Crystal Coconut, like always. But this time his flunkies came with some new fangled contraption."
"Its called a mech, Cranky!" Diddy corrected.
"I don't give crap if it was a Thanksgiving parade balloon! Kids and their Japan cartoons. Why in my day we had real cartoons! Felix the Cat. That was a real cartoon! Not some stupid yellow rodent or a..."
"Damn it, old man! Enough with traveling in the past!" Sonic shouted.
Cranky glared his eyes at Sonic, and then walked toward him. He faced his eyes at Sonic before hitting his head hard with his cane.
"Who in god's name is this weird clown? Another one of these scraps from a trash can you call friends, DK?" Cranky asked.
"THE NAME IS SONIC, AND WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE?"
"Watch your mouth, boy!" Cranky said, giving Sonic another whack. "Don't your parents teach you any manners?"
"Is he always like this?" Rouge asked Candy.
"Why do you think we call him Cranky?"
Cranky walked toward the vase. He tapped the floor three times, and then the vase opened up to reveal a egg shaped crystal.
"Is that the Crystal Coconut?" Knuckles asked.
"No, its the Mono Lisa! OF COURSE ITS THE CRYSTAL COCONUT!!" Cranky shouted.
"You don't have to yell; I'm right here."
"Anywise, I have one thing to ask you..." Cranky politely said. He sharply pointed at the coconut that showed a image of Mario. "WHY THE HELL YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE?"
Gulping, Mario nervously popped his head near the door. He walked to the center of the door, inhaling a deep breath, as Cranky shot a poisonous glare at the plumber.
"You......!" Cranky growled.
Mario gulped, but tried to remain calm. "Hello there.....Donkey Kong."
