Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory
Chapter 8 - Desert suntan
T-shirt Suntan
After smashing through Eggman's defences the heroes reached an entrance inside the pyramid.
"I'll go first, If I know Eggman his own base will be tightly secured", said Sonic.
"Right. My Cyclone needs some minor repairs anyway", Said Tails. Sonic ran inside.
Action stage: Pyramid cave (Sonic)
Surprisingly it was fairly empty only a few guard robots and a load of ghosts. Yet Sonic seemed a little edgy, perhaps the ghosts scared him, or perhaps the robots reminded him of the Robot E-102 Gamma, who almost destroyed him in a previous adventure. Eventually he reached a huge locked door.
"Tails I've reached a big locked door with Eggman's ugly mug on it. Come on, it's quite tame. A little too easy, almost like he was expecting us", Said Sonic.
"We'll be there as soon as possible", Said Tails. Does Eggman know we're here already? How? Perhaps that strange car that was following us as we left the city had something to do with it.
Meanwhile Big the cat had watched a blue blur run past him. He's in, thank god. Sonic'll stop Eggman before the cannon fires on Earth.
Tails, Amy and Knuckles reached the door Sonic was standing in front off.
"What took you so long?" asked Sonic
"I'm sorry sonic, not everyone can run at Sonic speeds you know", Said Amy.
"Well the doors sealed tightly. The only way in is to find a key", Said Tails.
"This place is huge. He's sure to have a spaceship we can use, or at least a spare key…Knuckles!" said Sonic turning to Knuckles.
"Hey, you don't expect me to find the key", Said Knuckles.
"Why not? We're counting on ya buddy. The world's greatest treasure hunter", Said Sonic.
"Hey I have my own problems, I need to find the Master Emerald shards", Said Knuckles, "I don't have time for this"
"Do you really want that cannon to fire? Knuckles we need you. And besides if we can get through that door perhaps we may find that hunter", Said Amy.
"Well Ok, But I'm used to finding Emeralds not keys", Said Knuckles. Knuckles Started searching the nearby area.
Action stage: Death Chamber (Knuckles)
It took some time but Knuckles finally had the three keys needed to open the door. But before he could leave the huge room he ended up in went completely dark. He looked around to find the exit, but every door he tried was locked.
"Hey what's going on", Said Knuckles. There was a spooky laugh coming from behind him. A huge Ghost appeared behind him. Knuckles shook with fear.
"What the? A…a…Ghost", Said Knuckles.
"You are trespassing on our land echidna. Leave now or feel the wrath of King Boom Boo", Said the Ghost.
Boss: King Boom boo (Knuckles).
Knuckles ran away from him but it was no use, the king of the ghosts followed him. He noticed a small ghost following the King with what looked like an Egg timer. He had used these Egg timers to open certain doors.
"Perhaps that's the key to beating him", Said Knuckles. He looked up and found the sunroofs were closed, "It went dark when he appeared perhaps he's vulnerable to Sunlight". Knuckles caught up with the small ghost and hit the Egg timer. The sunroofs opened and King boom boo shrank and hid in the ground and the walls. Knuckles dug in after him and pulled the Ghost out. The sunlight has made him solid and weak. So he began punching him.
King boom boo was soon defeated and Knuckles returned to Sonic and Tails.
"Phew, what a hassle", Said Knuckles.
"Well done Knuckles. Did you get the keys", Said Tails.
"Yeah, here ya go", Said Knuckles. He gave one to Sonic, one to Tails and took the last one to the lock. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles unlocked their locks at the same time.
"Alright, we did it", said Amy
"Now lets go find us a spaceship", Said Sonic
"You little thieves, do you really think I'll let you out here alive", Said a familiar voice. A door opened and it was Eggman.
"Come and get some Eggman", Said Sonic.
"This time I'll take your lives as well as the Chaos Emerald", Said Eggman.
"Huh? How did you know we had a Chaos emerald", Said Tails.
"Come on, you don't think I wouldn't have read it in the news", said Eggman.
"Heh, you may be a mechanical whiz but sometimes I forget you are still only 8," Said Sonic.
"Enough Talk, come out my pet and destroy these pests", Said Eggman. Suddenly a huge stone figure appeared from the sand below.
"Meet the Egg Golem. My latest creation designed to destroy you if you ever came close to my base's central control room. Farewell Sonic, I'm going to enjoy watching the Egg Golem crushing you under his massive hands"
Boss: Egg Golem (Sonic)
Sonic kept his cool and noticed a small machine at the top of the creature's head. He made one giant leap towards the machine.
"Teeeeeraaaaaaaaa", he shouted as he smashed into the machine, blowing it up. Sonic returned to the ground while the Egg Golem went berserk.
"Nice try rocky!" Said Sonic.
"We better get out of here. Now that the machine has been destroyed he seems uncontrollable", said Tails.
"Agreed", Said Sonic, "Grab hold". Tails, Amy and Knuckles grabbed hold of Sonic as he ran off towards the space dock.
Meanwhile Eggman looked on Shocked. The Egg Golem was no longer under his control. If he keeps going on like this he'll destroy his base.
"When Sonic smashed into the machine he must have destroyed the Control mechanism. You stupid machine", said Eggman. The Egg Golem turned to Eggman and began smashing him.
"Noooo!" Said Eggman. He managed to escape and started shooting, "Take this"
Boss: Egg Golem (Eggman)
Eggman attacked the Golem exposing the machine parts, which he then took out one by one. With no machine parts left the Egg Golem was no longer able to move and sank beneath the sand from whence it came.
Meanwhile Sonic and the gang entered a Space ship and took off for space. Inside, Big watched on. Knuckles secured the Master Emerald shards in the cargo bay. The space ship left Earth's atmosphere and headed towards ARK.
"Wow! I've never been in space before. It's beautiful", Said Amy.
"Sure is, hey Tails look ahead. Is that ARK?" asked Sonic.
"Yes that is ARK. Take her in Sonic", Said Tails. Sonic steered the Space ship through the meteors that surrounded ARK. He accidentally hit one.
"Oops!" Said Sonic. The cargo bay doors swung open and the Master Emerald shards escaped into space. Luckily they made it into ARK's artificial gravity and oxygen.
"Oops? OOPS?" said Knuckles.
"Don't worry Knuckles the only thing in the cargo bay were those Master Emerald shards", Said Sonic.
"What do you mean Don't worry. I'm meant to be restoring the Master Emerald you know", Said Knuckles grabbing the controls.
"Hey leave the controls alone. What are you doing? We're going to crash if you keep this up. Hey let go now, no! Don't pull that level. ARGH!" shouted Sonic as the spaceship began spinning out of control. The others began screaming as well. The Ship eventually made it to ARK's spaceport where the ship docked.
Big was propelled with the Emeralds into space. He smashed into the side of Ark. I'm not cut out for this.
