Chapter 5: The Attack

When Sonic came home, his parents had a look of worry on their face. But it brightened up when they saw Sonic.

"We heard there was a fire at your school! Are you okay? Do you need medicine?
Ointment? CPR? Burn treatment? Lipstick?" Mya asked.

"...Mom, I'm okay! Today was really crazy. Our principal tried to play the exterminator and accidentally set the school on fire," Sonic said.

"I'm not so sure it would be an accident, considering what Doc is like," John muttered under his breath.

Mya shushed John, saying something about how Sonic shouldn't think his school principal is an evil maniac.

"I might start thinking that soon if incidents like this happen again," Sonic said. "I'm already close enough. So-" Sonic was interrupted by Mya giving a lecture to Sonic about how principals always have good means, even if they do seem evil.

"Mom, seriously. He broke into a jewelery store with a 'big thingy', at least according to Sarah it was a big thingy, and tried to steal a Chaos Emerald, whatever those things are. So I have good reason to believe his means aren't entirely good, if not entirely bad. I also have reason to believe that he's stole them again, mainly because he announced it on the intercom today. He also said something about taking over the world."

Mya and John looked at each other. "Sonic, you stay here with your dad," Mya said. "I'm going to report this to the police. It shouldn't take long."

But Mya never needed to report it, because just as Mya was putting on her shoes a flying mobile with a swinging wrecking ball attached to it stormed onto the streets. Dr. Robotnik was in its cockpit.

"Mwahahahaha!" Dr. Robotnik said. "I will take over the world with my greatest invention yet; the Auto-Moto-Wrecker-Mobile! Mwahahahaha! You cannot defeat me! Mwa!"

"Well, that would be true if you kept the cockpit closed!" shouted Sonic.

"Mwaha...huh? Well, even then, no one can jump as high as my cockpit! Hahaha!"

Numerous citizens poured out in the streets and tried jumping into the weak spot. No one even almost made it, except for one particular fox adult who almost hit Robotnik. This fox adult was also Tails' father.

"Oh, forget it! I'm going out there!" said Sonic.

"No! It's dangerous!" Mya shouted.

"Oh, come on, Mom. The wrecking ball is going really slow anyway. I bet I could stand on it and reach the cockpit of his machine-thingy." Sonic argued. His parents stopped to think for a moment, and then approved, with a "Be careful!".

Sonic went outside. The citizens all stopped for a bit. He jumped on the ball attachment and from there jumped right on top of Robotnik, damaging the machine while he was at it. Sonic proceeded to damage the machine 5 more times, and after numerous explosions from the machine, Dr. Robotnik ejected into a copter and ran away, his face singed (including his mustache, which was Doc's greatest pride apparently).

Everyone blinked and stared at Sonic, then at the place where the machine had been. After they had seen that they weren't dreaming or hallucinating, they burst into cheers. Lots of people high-fived him. One person even asked for Sonic's autograph.

After the event was over, Sonic went back inside and threw himself on a couch.
His parents hugged him and said they were proud of him, though Mya did hint that his actions were dangerous.

Later that day, Sally and Amy came to visit. Amy still had the Pikachu, which Mya kept staring at.

"Um, Sonic...I'd prefer that we didn't have everything in the house burnt to a crisp by negative electrons, thank you," Mya said.

"Okay." Sonic said. "Sally, tell your Pikachu not to electrocute anything." Sally did.

"Well, what'd you like to do? We can't play on the N64; the battery's still charging, and same thing with the Game Boy Advance."

Pikachu shocked the charger wires. The light instantly turned green. "It seems to be charged now," John said. Everyone laughed.

The 3 friends played Super Mario 64 in multiplayer mode, and then continued to play Pokemon Stadium. Amy won most of the Pokemon matches, but not many SM64 ones. And vice versa with Sonic. Sally won the same number of matches in each game.

After Amy, Sally, and Pikapi (What Amy named her Pikachu) left, Sonic was very tired. He ate his dinner and fell asleep immediately in bed.
