Sonic: The Hedgehog And The Echidna
(based on Sonic 3 for Genesis)
Fanfiction by Danny Wheeler
Prelude
Previously, Sonic destroyed Eggman's Death Egg. But it crashed into a place in the Mobius of the Sky known as Emerald Island (Floating Island in other Sonic realms). Sonic and Tails decided to go there to see what Eggman is up to. But Eggman explored the island and discovered that the Chaos Emeralds are what keep it up. Eggman encountered Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the island. When he saw Sonic and Tails coming, Eggman told Knuckles that Sonic and Tails were going to steal the Chaos Emeralds that sustain the islands (though in truth, Eggman was to be the thief). Knuckles prepared the ambush.
When Sonic and Tails entered the island, Knuckles burst out of the ground and picked up the Chaos Emeralds Sonic dropped. "Maybe these will help Emerald Island if you steal the Emeralds of the island! I, Knuckles, have spoken!" At that, the echidna ran off.
Chapter 1: Angel Island Zone
Sonic and Tails explored the green and calm area of the Emerald Island known as Angel Island. Eggman's presence was shown as some Badniks were seen about. The Badniks were as follows: RhinoBot (like the name says, a Rhino robot), Monkey Dude (a remake of Coconut), Bloominator (a plant like robot that shot spike balls), and Catakiller, Jr. (a flying remake of Caterkiller). Sonic and Tails fought the Badniks and freed the birds inside them.
Soon, a mini-blimp came and set the land ablaze! Sonic and Tails pursued the blimp, fighting more Badniks along the way! Soon, they homed in on the mini-blimp and fought it, dodging the flame attacks. When they destroyed it, they continued through the burning landscape. Eventually, they raced through a jungle, escaping the Flying Battery blimp's bombs, and encountered Eggman in his Fireball Gunner!
Eggman said, "So, you met Knuckles already! I simply told him that you were the enemy and won him over! But you still survived him and my Badniks! No matter, I can take care of you!" "Give us your best shot, Eggman!" said Sonic. Eggman tried to cook Sonic and Tails with his guns, but they jumped over the blazing projectiles and hit his pod until it was severely damaged. Eggman retreated and Tails flew up to free the animals from the Badnik Maker! But when they crossed the bridge, Knuckles blew it up and sent them falling into a flooded underground city in the Emerald Island.
Chapter 2: Hydro City Zone
Like all water areas, Hydro City had air pockets in the underwater areas. Sonic and Tails faced Turbo Spikers (Badniks that shot spiked conch shells), cannon Blastoids (there are two Blastoid types in this tale), Mega Choppers (pirahna bots that home in on targets), and Pointdexters (puffer fish bots). Also, in the earlier part of the task, the two faced Buggernauts (fly bots). Sonic and Tails went through the watery maze and freed the animals from the Badnik shells. Soon, they faced Eggman's Turbo Spinner. The robot tried to ram into them and mixed the water around whenever it was on a post. Sonic and Tails timed attacks when it was on the post. Soon, it exploded, and the two heroes delved deeper into the wet maze.
Instead of Buggernauts in the next part, the new Badnik type was Jawz, flying shark robots. Sonic fought them as he and Tails continued through the maze. Soon, they thought they were in a dead end, but Knuckles, thinking they were in a trap, triggers the bridge to collapse. Soon, Eggman came in his Hydro Copter.
The Hydro Copter made miniature waterspouts that tried to drag Sonic and Tails into the propeller blades, and dropped depth charges. Sonic used the waterspouts and depth charge blasts to jump up to Eggman's ship and attacked till the ship started to malfuntion. After the doctor escaped, Sonic and Tails freed the animals. Soon, a geyser launches the two to another part of Emerald Island.
Chapter 3: Marble Garden Zone
Sonic and Tails land in some marble ruins and see that Eggman's cronies are making the ruins worse that they already were. Eggman had deployed a Tunnelbot to drill for any possible Chaos Emeralds. Besides the Tunnelbot, there were Mantises (mantis robots that jumped at targets), Spikers (disguised as floor spikes, come up to shoot energy bullets), and Bubbles (floating orb Badniks with extending and retracting spikes). Sonic fought the Badniks as he and Tails tracked down the Tunnelbot. Soon, they found it. The drills created avalanches that they had to be careful of (mainly watch out for the spikes). Soon, Sonic and Tails defeated the creature and went on.
Soon, more tremors rocked the city... Eggman decided to drill for the Emeralds, since the Tunnelbot was destroyed. While hunting for Eggman, Sonic and Tails recovered the seven Chaos Emeralds Sonic lost when Knuckles ambushed him. Sonic soon located Eggman and his Drill Pod. He drilled the ground from under the hedgehog's feet, but Tails picked up Sonic and carried him around.
"Whoa! I didn't know you could do that, Tails!" Sonic said. Tails snickered and replied, "You never asked me!" At that, they fought Eggman, who flew about and tried to get the two with his drill. Eventually, the drill fell off of Eggman's ship, and Eggman had to flee. After freeing the birds from a flying Badnik Maker, the sky grew dark, and the two landed in what looks like an amusement park.
Chapter 4: Carnival Night Zone
The Carnival Night Zone had several spinning wheels, turnstables, spiraling net columns, baloons, and anti-gravity floors. But there was no time for enjoyment; Sonic and Tails had to stop Eggman! The three Badnik types were spark plug Blastoids (the other Blastoid type), Batbots, and Clamers (the names say it all). After fighting a few Badniks and gathering some rings (so Sonic could become Super Sonic again!), they encountered a bizarre driller robot that spun about, drilling the floor! Sonic destroyed it before much of the floor was destroyed.
The next part was flooded, but the balloons provided the air bubbles needed. After proceeding further, Knuckles set another trap. "Hey, thieves!" said Knuckles. "Let's see how well you do in the dark!" At that, he triggered the place to flood and darken the area. Sonic and Tails made it through the water, then eventually turned the power back on. But soon, Knuckles made another trap that sent them to Eggman's Static Ball Pod. The metal ball would be dropped, then Eggman would use the electricity to drag Sonic and Tails toward the beams. Sonic used his Super Sonic powers to fight back! Soon, Eggman was again beaten, and Sonic freed the animals. Soon, he and Tails entered a cannon and shot to another area of Emerald Island as the sun rose!
Chapter 5: Ice Cap Zone
Sonic landed in a frozen area of Emerald Island, and snowboarded down until he fell into an ice cave, where Tails caught up. The only two Badnik types here were Penguinators (penguin robots that slid into targets to damage them) and Star Pointers (Orbinauts that threw spiked crystals). Sonic freed the animals within the Badnik shells, as did Tails. Besides the Badniks, Sonic and Tails had to face spiked walls and floors, occasional water pools, falling floors, and blast freezers. The first major problem they eventually faced in the Ice Cap was a Snowman Robot.
The Snowman Robot summoned up snow boulders, surrounded itself with a shield made of those boulders, then sent them up in the air, where they could fall on Sonic! Sonic and Tails dodged these boulders and attacked when it was vulnerable. Soon, the robot was destroyed, and the two continued. More Badniks and traps obstructed the path. When Sonic and Tails made it through this time (and Sonic had a lot of rings along the way), Eggman came in his Nitrogen Ship.
Sonic changed into Super Sonic and prepared to fight! Tails kept Eggman busy (while barely avoiding the freezing gas) while Super Sonic attacked Eggman. Soon, the ship started to fall apart, and Eggman again fled. After freeing the animals, Sonic and Tails entered a pipe that led to where the Death Egg was.
Chapter 6: Launch Base Zone
The Launch Base was where Eggman was rebuilding his Death Egg. The main guards were Flybot767s (bird robots that divebombed enemies; they were also summoned when a siren went off), Orbinauts (yes, they're back!), Corkeys (laser gun Badniks), Snale Blasters (snail Badniks with guns on their backs), and Ribots (frog robots with ball and chain attacks). Though some Badniks were tough, they were still able to be defeated and the animals were still able to be freed. The traps were mainly spikes, lasers (most from the Corkeys), and flamethrowers. After going across moving hooks, passing several secret barriers, and using the many modes of transportation, they homed in on Eggman. But Eggman left the complex and Knuckles tossed a bomb to blow up one of the buildings!
After barely escaping, Sonic and Tails faced a strange robot with twin ball-and-chain weapons. Sonic timed the attacks to hit when the ball-and-chains were retracted. When the Badnik was defeated, Sonic and Tails went into the pool that the Death Egg was in. They passed through several underwater and above water regions to reach Eggman's floor cannon. A platform would raise, and a cannonball would fly over or under the platform. Sonic and Tails jumped onto it and jumped on to Eggman's pod until it fell apart. Tails said, "Go on and get Eggman! I'll get the Tornado ready!" Sonic said, "See ya 'round, little buddy!" as he flew off on a replica of Eggman's ship.
But along the way, Knuckles made one last ditch effort to stop Sonic. He punched the ship Sonic was in, thinking it was funny. But soon, the Death Egg launched and Knuckles fell, only to glide away to safety. Sonic flew onto a platform on the Death Egg, and Eggman was on a rocket with double lasers. As Sonic hit the rocket, it got smaller, and soon, the rocket was destroyed. Eggman made one last ditch effort to destroy Sonic.
Eggman soon emerged in his "Hedgehog Crusher". Sonic then decided to become Super Sonic and fight back. Sonic kept dodging the arms and spikes of the monstrosity until it collapsed. Soon, the Death Egg started to fall apart!
Epilog
The platform gave way, and Sonic looked afar as the Death Egg crashes again on Emerald Island. Tails was still on the plane, waiting for Sonic to give the word to pick him up. Sonic found a communicator and said, "Just stand by, Tails! I'm going to see to it that Eggman is down for keeps!"
