Chapter Eighteen: Sonic's anger
The Fifth Dimension______________________________________________________________
*The Shadow Lord sat on his tall throne, changing the dimensional "channels" on the hologram in front of him. He stopped when he saw SU-Sonic flare up with a large, blue aura. He stopped, and stared in absolute silence as Sonic lunged at Shadow Knuckles at the speed of light, knocking him unconscious in less than a second.*
"That aura . . . what is it?" he questioned aloud.
*As he questioned this, the high-pitched sound of quills scraping against metal could be heard as Max tried to spindash his way out of a giant cage, which was hanging from the roof of the palace. Sparks flew as he tried with all of his might.*
The Shadow Lord, annoyed with the noise, bellowed, "STOP IT!"
"Maybe I don't feel like it!" Max shouted back, only going faster.
The S. Lord aimed him rod at Max and shocked him with electricity. He flew across the cage and slammed into the cage wall, badly hurt.
"You wretched bastard! You of all people should know better that to talk to me like that!"
The Shadow Lord smirked at him. "You're just like your father, you know that? Arrogant, and stupid!"
He laughed. "Yes, he was a pleasure to destroy!"
Max growled in anger.
"Oh, yes! I almost forgot about your mother, the former queen! She made a nice scream before she perished! I wish you could have been there!"
*Max flew into a rage and charged the sides of the cage with all of his might, the fell down, crying.*
"And now, Maxamillion Hedgehog, let's see how you take it when all of your friends die while all you can do is sit back and watch!"
"What!?" Max looked at the hologram. All of the dimensions besides the one they were in had been fused into one giant dimension. The Great Forest was only a mile south of Dr. Eggman's base; and that was five miles away from each version of Robotropolis, which were both in ruins.
The Super Dimension_____________________________________________________________
*In the Great Forest, just outside of Knothole, SU-Sonic broke the news regarding Uncle Chuck to SATAM-Sonic. Like expected, he didn't take it well at all.*
"Uncle Chuck . . .is what!?" SATAM-Sonic screamed at SU-Sonic.
"He's dead, man," SU-Sonic said in a solemn voice. He looked away from Sonic, because he couldn't bear to see the look on his face.
*After a long silence from SATAM-Sonic, he finally stood up and roughly grabbed SU-Sonic's shoulder.*
"You . . . where were you while this was happening?" He asked.
SU-Sonic didn't answer for a long time. SATAM-Sonic shook him. "Well!?" He asked again.
"I . . . I did the best I could," he answered.
"The best you could!? That's all you're gonna say!?" Sonic snapped. "You were supposed to watch everyone while I was gone because I couldn't be there! And all you can say is 'I did my best!?'"
*Fed up with this, SU-Sonic raised a fist and punched SATAM-Sonic hard.*
"Look, I did the best I could! I couldn't save your uncle, and I'm sorry, but taking it out on me's not gonna help, alright!?"
*SATAM-Sonic, in rage and grief, punched SU-Sonic in the face. Really mad at this, SU-Sonic puched him back. SATAM-Sonic jumped on him, and they both exchanged punches.*
*This fight continued until Sally, Knuckles, and Tails came out to look for them. When they saw this, Sally told Tails and Knuckles had to pull them apart.*
"Gotcha, Aunt Sally!" Tails flew over to SATAM-Sonic and lifted him into the air. Knuckles held the other Sonic in a tight strangle hold.
"Lemme go, Tails!" SATAM-Sonic shouted.
"Lemme go, Knuckles!" SU-Sonic shouted.
"Calm down, both of you!" Sally screamed. Both Sonics quieted down.
"Man, how does she do that?" Knuckles wondered.
"I don't want to see any more fighting between teammates, especially when they're the same person!" Sally continued.
Both Sonics looked down at the ground.
"Let's get back to Knothole so we can help rebuild it," Sally replied. After being released from their restraints, they all went back inside.
_________________________________________________________________________________
"All right, we all know what we need to do, right?" AOSTH-Shadow asked Knuckles, Julie-Su, and the Chaotix.
Everyone looked at him. "No," they answered bluntly. AOSTH-Shadow face-faulted.
"All right . . . we need to look for the other two Sonics. My dimensional communicater picked up four dimensional versions, and we only have two."
"What happened to your communicater, anyway?" Sally asked.
"It got destroyed!" Shadow fumed. "If only I had been able to save it!"
"Relax! It's just a machine," Knuckles replied.
"A machine that took me THREE DAYS TO MAKE!" Shadow snapped.
"ANYWAY . . . Shadow's right!" Julie-Su said. "If we can get all of our dimensional selves together, maybe we'll be able to fight that Shadow Lord guy."
"Then it's settled," Sally agreed. "Shadow's in charge!"
"Fine," Knuckles agreed reluctantly.
"OK, then . . . we'll start immediately!" Shadow looked over at the two Sonics . "And you two are coming with us!"
"I ain't goin' if HE'S goin'," SATAM-Sonic stated.
"Same here," SU-Sonic countered.
*Shadow, not in the mood for this, took off his flame bracelet and unleashed a giant fire ball, which engulfed both Sonics. Everyone stared in absolute shock.*
"What'd you do that for!?" Julie-Su yelled.
"They pissed me off," Shadow replied, putting his flame bracelet back on.
_________________________________________________________________________________
*Next scene, SU-Sonic and SATAM-Sonic both marched out of the Great Forest. They were both still charred black. Shadow and the others were up ahead, scouting for potential signs of trouble and any other Sonics.*
"Hey," SATAM-Sonic said.
"What?" SU-Sonic replied.
"Sorry. You know; for startin' the fight."
"Don't worry about it; you were just mad cause your uncle died," SU-Sonic said. "I know I woulda did the same thing if my mom died."
"Your mom?" SATAM-Sonic asked.
"She was the Queen of Mobius, but Ro-BUTT-nik threw her and us out of the castle, and made himself king. Me and my bro and sis are hidin from him and lookin' for our mom."
"Man, your dimension's like mine."
"Yeah, I noticed. How'd this happen in your time, anyway?"
"Well, lets see . . . my Robotnik stole the roboticizer parts from my Uncle Chuck . . ."
"Whoa, wait a minute . . . your uncle made the roboticizer!?" SU-Sonic screamed.
"It wasn't supposed to work the way it does now; It was supposed to help, like, hospitals and stuff. Let's say you broke a leg or something. You could just plug it into it and get it fixed fast. It was also supposed to help old people live longer."
"Anyway, Robotnik took the plans, and roboticised everyone, including Uncle Chuck and Bunnie. I don't know where my parents are, but Sally was worse off than me."
"Sally?" He looked at her up ahead.
"Her dad, the king, got sealed in the void. She worries about him everyday."
"Ya know what I've noticed?" SU-Sonic asked.
"What?"
"That everyone here . . . we're all orphans and castaways; none of us have any parents. I wouldn't be surprised if the others were the same way."
SATAM-Sonic gave him a strange look. "And THAT worries you!? We're heroes, we do that stuff!"
"Yup, guess you're right," SU-Sonic smirked.
"And we wouldn't trade what we have for anything in the world, right?"
"Yeah!"
"And we're gonna be cool about this right?" SATAM-Sonic prompted.
"Way past!" SU-Sonic answered.
*Meanwhile, up ahead, Knuckles looked behind him to see both Sonics talking loudly.*
"Hey, guess who just made up!" He pointed behind him as everyone looked.
"I knew getting those two to come with us was a good idea!" Shadow boasted.
"Uh, guys? We'd better move!" SATAM-Tails said, flying into the air.
"Why?" Everyone asked, just as they got mowed down from behind by both Sonics.
"Race you over to . . . that giant sand dune!" SATAM-Sonic challenged.
"You're on--wait . . . SAND DUNE!?" SU-Sonic screeched to a halt as they left the Great Forest and found themselves in the desert.
"Okay, I KNOW this wasn't here before!" SATAM-Sonic stared in amazement.
Sally and the others looked on, shocked.
"But that's . . . impossible!" Sally said, "The Mobian Desert is miles from here!"
"That guy really DID fuse all the dimensions!" Knuckles said.
