Sonic & Knuckles
(based on Sonic & Knuckles for Genesis)
Fan fiction by Danny Wheeler
Prolog
Last time, Sonic, with his Super Sonic powers, thwarted Eggman and sent his Death Egg crashing again. While Tails got the Tornado ready to pick up Sonic when needed, Sonic went down to seek out Eggman. Meanwhile, Eggman was throwing bombs around. Knuckles was around when a bomb went off. Seeing this as a threat to the island, Knuckles decided to wage an all-out attack on all outsiders-- Sonic and Eggman alike!
Chapter 1: Mushroom Hill Zone
Sonic soon landed in Mushroom Hill shortly after the Death Egg crashed. He soon hid as Knuckles came out of a cave. Knuckles said to himself, "I must make sure that no intruder threatens the Master Emerald! If anything happens to it, Emerald Island is doomed!" Sonic said to himself, "Eggman is most likely after it! I'd better be careful around Knuckles and, at the same time, make sure Eggman doesn't find it!" Sonic then went out to explore the land.
Eggman was up to his tricks again with the animals, as he had changed them into Badniks such as Butterdroids (butterfly robots), Madmoles (mole robots that pop out of holes and throw rubber mushrooms at intruders), Mushmeanies (bouncing mushrooms that take two hits to defeat), and Dragonflies (bug robots with spiked tails). Sonic carefully fought his way through the onslaught and saved the animals as he looked on to see a Lumberdroid come it. The Lumberdroid used his axe to send logs at Sonic. Sonic timed his attacks and hit the robot when it was vulnerable. Soon, after the battle, Sonic continued, but Knuckles saw him coming and said, "So, the pesky hedgehog returns! I'll blow him away with this trap!" At that, he activated a hidden fan that blew the hedgehog to another part of Mushroom Hill!
Besides the previous Badniks, Sonic also faced Cluckoids, which looked like chickens on weathervanes that used typhoon breath to blow away enemies. Sonic continued his battle and soon found a radar dish. After blasting it, Sonic pursued Eggman. He chortled, "So, hedgehog, care for a little steeple chase?" "Any challenge you got, slimeball!" said Sonic. Sonic then raced over spiked hurdles to attack Eggman. Soon, Eggman's ship crashed into a tree. After a brief laugh, Sonic freed the animals from the Badnik Maker. Sonic soon saw the Flying Battery Blimp fly by. He hitched a ride and decided to do some SERIOUS damage to it!
Chapter 2: Flying Battery Zone
Second to the Death Egg, the Flying Battery was one of Eggman's toughest vehicular weapons. There were plenty of traps to catch intruders unawares, but only two types of Badniks: Technosqueaks (mouse robots) and Blasters (miniature tanks). Sonic freed the animals as he went on. The blimp was full of Badnik makers. Though a few had animals in them, some of them were full of Badniks. Sonic bashed into them to free the animals. Some had rings to collect, and some were empty, with springs to bounce on. Eventually, Sonic found one lone Badnik Maker. When Sonic jumped on it, it came to life, with spiked fists! Sonic noticed that its eyes flashed and it hit wherever a target stood last when the eyes flashed.
Snickering a bit, Sonic jumped on top of it and let the creature defeat itself! Eventually, the animals were freed, and Sonic continued on! Sonic fought even more enemies, and a few traps to obstruct the way. Eventually, Sonic found Eggman, but the madman trapped him in a laser trap. It was too high to jump at, unlike the Wing Fortress. But Sonic ran about and avoided the laser shots. Soon, the machine self destructed, and Eggman made a run for it. The blimp soon started to dive, and Sonic went as fast as he could... until he could ride a support beam that was still flying. Eggman came in with his Looping Egg.
The Looping Egg had a flame thrower as a weapon. Sonic had to move carefully to avoid being cooked. Occasionally, the Egg would loop upward. Sonic took this time to attack! After a brief battle, the Looping Egg fell apart, and Eggman flew off in his pod. After freeing the animals, Sonic exited the sinking blimp to land in a strange desert...
Chapter 3: Sandopolis Zone
The sand made a soft landing, but the action was to be hard! Besides the sand and the crushing plungers, Sonic had to be on his guard against Skorps (scorpion robots) and Sandworms (relatives of Caterkillers that leapt out of the sand). Freeing animal friends from their forms, Sonic ran about to find his way to wherever the Master Emerald might be. Soon, a great temple emerged from the sand, and a Golem Robot came out of the door.
The Golem Robot was very small on logic chips. All it did was jump after Sonic. Sonic simply lured it into the quicksand, where it sank. After laughing at the robot, Sonic entered the temple. In the dark temple, he saw something glitter in the dim light. Seven more Chaos Emeralds were there! But when he touched them, the Emeralds flew away! "Where are they going?" asked Sonic. Soon, Sonic pulled a chain that lit the place. But soon, he opened a Badnik Maker that brought out some Ghosts! Sonic had to pull some chains from time to time to light the temple and repel the ghosts, and he had to push some sliders to open passages. Eventually, Sonic made his way to the bottom, where Eggman's Sphinx was ready for him!
"So, you made it through, didn't you, rodent?" said Eggman. "Prepare to be crushed!" Eggman charged at him, but Sonic smacked into the hole in the armor, exposing Eggman's pod. Sonic attacked the pod until the Sphinx broke apart. After saving some more animals, Sonic fell into a hole.
Chapter 4: Lava Reef Zone
Sonic entered lava filled cavern with flamethrowers, spiked balls, guns, Fireworms (relatives of Caterkillers with flame tails) and Toxomisters (poles that spat out poison gas), among other things. Sonic even encountered rocks which were really exploding Badniks (the animals were freed when the rocks exploded). Sonic kept fighting on through the hot area until he met a rather bizarre defense system. The first part had eye-like devices on snaky extenders that shot energy bullets. The main defense was a large hand. The hand was Sonic's target, so he attacked it when it smacked down on the ground! After the defense was destroyed, he continued to the next part of the Lava Reef, from brown rocks to blue crystals.
Sonic traveled through the blue crystals as he continued to find out where the Master Emerald is. After a long journey, Sonic climbed up some stairs where the sanctuary of the Master Emerald would be. Knuckles said, "Not so fast, hedgehog! No one is allowed into the Hidden Palace unless given permission! So beat it!" Then Knuckles punched a boulder that knocked him down the steps.
Sonic soon landed on a rock platform over a lava pool. Eggman got into a Lava Egg and started shooting missiles at him. Sonic barely avoided the missiles and found a Fire Shield item that allowed Sonic to go into the lava lake unharmed. Soon, Eggman's Lava Egg showed up. The egg was so heavy, it tilted the lava toward it! Sonic jumped over the mines it shot, and they slid into the egg. Sonic laughed as the mines hit Eggman's ship, and smiled when it soon sank. After freeing the animals from a flying Badnik Maker, Sonic found a back door to the Hidden Palace. If Sonic is to stop Eggman, he had to enter.
Chapter 5: Hidden Palace Zone
When Sonic entered the Hidden Palace, he saw the Emeralds he found earlier in Sandopolis, the Emeralds flew around and coaxed Sonic to follow. Sonic did so, gathering rings along the way. As he went up a teleporter, he saw a giant Emerald. "It must be the Master Emerald!" Sonic thought. Then, the small Emeralds touched some gray larger Emeralds, which were slightly smaller than the Master one, and they glowed into different colors! Then, some light shined on Sonic, on Knuckles, and it shined out to Tails in the Tornado. A voice echoed in their minds, "Your powers are now made even stronger! Use them well!"
When Sonic got closer to where the Master Emerald was, Knuckles stepped forward. "I guess you had to arrive sometime," said Knuckles. "Now we fight!" Sonic said, "I don't want to, but it seems I have no choice!" After a brief fight, Knuckles was knocked down. Soon, a tremor was felt in the Chaos Emerald Chamber! Eggman had made his move and stole the Master Emerald! Knuckles tried to save it, but the mad scientist shocked the echidna. Soon, the floor gave way!
"Sonic," said Knuckles, "I should have trusted you... I'm sorry I let this go too far!" "It's cool, Knuckles," said Sonic. "What matters is getting the Master Emerald back!" "Right!" replied Knuckles. "Follow me! I know a way to stop Eggman!" At that, Knuckles revealed a secret passage. Knuckles pointed to the teleporter and said, "This teleporter leads to the Sky Sanctuary Zone! Let's go!"
Chapter 6: Sky Sanctuary Zone
The Sky Sanctuary has a rather pleasent look, but Eggman was about to change all that. The Death Egg rose into the air, launching the EggRobos (robots made in the image of Eggman) to attack. Sonic and Knuckles gasped as Emerald Island was falling into the Mobius of Darkness! Knuckles got a bridge for Sonic and said, "Hurry, Sonic! You're Emerald Island's last hope!" Sonic raced across, freeing animals from the EggRobos' forms. Eggman saw them coming and sent RoboSonic (one of Metal Sonic's projects, undoubtedly) to attack. His first attempt was reusing Eggman's old wrecker ball. Sonic dodged the attacks and attacked the ship.
After that first defeat, RoboSonic waited until Sonic made it to another part of the Sky Sanctuary. When he arrived, the hedgehog faced a new version of the Spinning Egg Shield. Like last time, the Eggs contained balloons that looked like the ship. After another victory over RoboSonic, Sonic continued, fighting more EggRobos on the way. Eventually, he made it to the fight with RoboSonic, and this time it was out of the ship. RoboSonic used rolling attacks, airborne attacks, and a backwards slide. Jumping on it was out of the question, so Sonic had to attack it by Spindashing at its legs.
Eventually, RoboSonic fell apart, and Sonic raced up a crumbling tower into Eggman's Death Egg as it rose into space. The events were rising to a climax!
Chapter 7: Death Egg Zone
The first part of the Death Egg was its main interior. Besides the high-tech traps, Sonic faced Spikebonkers (miniature little faces with spikeballs surrounding them) and Chainspikes (eye-like robots with extending spikes). As he fought and freed the animals, Sonic gathered some rings and became Super Sonic, wreaking havoc on the Death Egg! Soon, Sonic faced the first guardian of the Death Egg- a Red Eye with a serious attitude problem! The eye had two forms. First, it was a column surrounded by exploding eggs. But when Sonic removed all of the eggs, the eye broke free, surrounded itself with spiked platforms, and had a laser! Soon, Sonic destroyed the defense and went to another part of the Death Egg.
The second part was a fiberglass looking area to see Mobius from afar. Not only are there similar traps and same Badniks, but gravity plays tricks on Sonic here. Sonic soon got his marbles together and prepared for battle. After making his way through the maze, Sonic encountered Eggman's mine dropper! A shield blocked off Sonic's attacks as it dropped mines! But gravity again can be manipulated here, as Sonic went up and down to cause the mines to hit the robot. Soon, the robot exploded, and Sonic chased down Eggman.
Soon, Eggman got into his new Metal Eggman suit. The first thing it tried to do was try to squash Sonic with its fingers! Sonic jumped and smashed the fingers one by one. After that, Sonic, still having some rings left, changed into Super Sonic and fought off the Metal Eggman by smashing its laser! Soon, the Metal Eggman suit crashed into the Death Egg, and it was falling apart! Sonic chased after Eggman's pod as it carried the Master Emerald. Sonic attacked it until the Emerald dropped. Sonic picked up fifty rings before the Death Egg exploded, but Eggman used a Missile Ship to snatch the Master Emerald again. As Super Sonic, Sonic was in hot pursuit!
Chapter 8: Doomsday Zone
Super Sonic raced through space, gathering up rings to keep himself super. After dodging asteroids and missiles, Sonic soon caught up with Eggman's missile ship. He had to be extra careful, since Energy Bullets and missiles would cause him to lose control (and some rings). He lured some of the missiles into the ship's cockpit, and the ship exploded, revealing a Bomber Ship (which looks like another Metal Eggman suit).
Sonic gathered up more rings in between times he attacked the ship. Avoiding bombs and mines, Sonic attacked the Bomber Ship whenever possible. Soon, Eggman crashed down into the Mobius of Darkness, and Sonic reclaimed the Master Emerald!
Epilog
Sonic, with Tails in the Tornado, soon returned the Master Emerald to Emerald Island, which soon returned to the Mobius of the Sky. After it was back in the sky, Knuckles soon visited South Island. Sonic and Tails escorted him to the Palace in Mobotropolis. There, Knuckles, with permission and support from the people of Emerald Island, pledged his loyalty to be an ally of Mobotropolis. Sally said, "I don't think you could have made a better choice!" The people celebrated as the Mobius of the Sky has another ally for their battle against Eggman!
