But I do own this story.
A Wily tale
Part 10
Robotnik stood on a hill side not far from the Great Forest, looking at his army that Snivley had arranged.
"Snivley! Is everything ready?" He bellowed.
"Yes sir." Snivley sighed, he hated working for his bloated tick of an uncle. "You egotistical sack of crap." he added quietly.
"What did you say?" Robotnik asked staring at his tiny nephew.
"You mechanical skills are unmatched." Snivley said quickly.
"That's right. And don't you forget it." Robotnik said coldly.
I can't believe that the idiot fell for it. Snivley thought, but at least old blubber brain couldn't read minds.
"Note what you see this day Snivley, this shall be the final time you ever see any of those blasted Freedom Fighters." Robotnik grinned evilly as he gave an order to his Combots. Giants compared to the Swatbots, they had a green army camo paint scheme and more of a natural looking head than their counterparts' dome like ones. But the most deadly ting about each Combot was that it had a cloaking device.
"Go forth Combots! Don't stop until you find those miserable meddlers hideout and have burned it to the ground!"
One by one the Combots disappeared, leaving nothing but foot prints in their wake.
"What now Sir?"
"We sit back and wait."
Morning was an odd thing to an insomniac, normal people never think about it much. They wake up and never think that anytime has passed since they fell asleep. Jonny knew that, as he stared out the window, seeing the dark sky turn to day took longer than one thought. He waited patiently for the alarm to ring hours later. He had had too much running through his mind to sleep.
"What are you going to tell her?" Red asked after Jonny had gotten up and was ready to meet Ali-Su.
"I don't know yet, I spent all night thinking that." He said.
"And?" The robot asked.
"I'll tell her whatever she wants." Jonny sighed.
Jonny walked out the door, leaving Red and the Botonton alone. The robot bat screeched at Red.
Being a robot, Red knew what it said. "Yeah, I know, this is turning into a complicated mess, but he's the boss. I'm going to go find Sonic and whoop him in a race around the forest, why don't you go for a trip outside. You could stand to get out more."
The Botonton agreed and flew out the door, leaving Red to find Sonic.
It didn't take long to find Sonic, he had just woke up and was eating his breakfast, chili dogs. Red wasted no time challenging him.
"I want another race Sonic." The android demanded.
Sonic simply took another bite out of his breakfast as a reply.
Red growled, "Well? What do you say!?" he nearly screamed.
Sonic finished his chili dog and smirked. "You're on. Tails, I'm for a run, I won't be long."
Red was annoyed by the level of cockiness this hedgehog, he resisted the urge to beat the living crap out of Sonic right then and there. "Let's make this one a lot longer, say... around the whole Forest?" Red had lost only by distance last time, even if Sonic had been toying with him. He wanted to study the hedgehog's style more thoroughly.
"Then let's get to the starting line Red man." Sonic said, speeding off. With Red hot on his heels.
Not too far away, there was Ali-Su, waiting for him. She was lying on the hill looking at the sky, until she noticed the grey fox coming towards her.
"Hi Jonny!" She said, sitting up and giving Jonny a pleasant smile. "What did you want to talk about?"
Jonny sat down beside her and sighed. "Ali..." He gulped, "I'm... not like anyone in the village, or ever met..."
"Well that's obvious," she laughed, "I've never known anyone that's as good with machine's as you. You make robots that can think and feel, Robotnik would never make something like that if he could."
"Shhh..." "Look out!" Came shushed voices from the bushes. Tails and a large number of the villagers that had seen Jonny ask Ali-Su to talk were watching them with grins. Many reminiscing on their first dates.
"What I mean is Ali, this body of mine isn't real." Jonny explained.
"You mean you're a Robian? That explains why Robonik was after you." The yellow Echidna said giving him a surprised look, "So I guess that the fur is synthetic then right?"
Jonny recalled the word Robian, it referred to a Mobian that had been roboticized. "Well, yes it is, but you see the thing is that-"
Jonny never got to finish, as a series of frightened screams and explosions erupted from the direction of the village.
"What was that?" Tails jumped up. Accidentally revealing himself to the two Mobians on the hill.
"I don't know. And we'll have to talk later about eavesdropping Tails." Ali-Su said glaring at the young Fox.
Elsewhere, Sonic and Red were neck and neck in their race. Red knew Sonic was toying with him, trying to make him feel like he was trying. This angered Red, He hated to be toyed with.
"I gave myself a tune up since our first race hedgehog!" Red yelled as both raced around the forest itself.
"Oh yeah?" Sonic smirked, "You think that'll help you?"
"Yeah. ACCELERATION!" Red cried and began to move at a speed that nearly approaching mach 2.
Sonic growled and stopped messing around, and shot off, once again going neck and neck. Toying with the robot. However they never made it to the finish line. Sonic grabbed Red's arm and jerked them both to a stop.
"What was that for!?" Red yelled, severely ticked that Sonic had stopped their race.
"Look!" Sonic said, pointing to the smoke billowing from the forest.
"Uh-oh." Red said.
"This is bad..." Sonic said, "We need to get there fast!" he said, starting to rev up.
Sonic didn't make it a foot before Red grabbed his arm, stopping him. "What's up with you? We gotta go!" He yelled at the robot.
Red smirked. "Time to show you what those noises where doing those many nights ago."
"Huh!?" Sonic stared, not sure if he heard the robot right.
Red lead him to a rock not far from where they stood, revealing a well dug tunnel.
"This is the fastest way there, and we won't be seen on the way there." Red explained.
"Who built this?" Sonic asked, surprised that Red would know of such a thing.
"Not now, let's get back to Knothole." With that both leapt into the tunnel and sped off toward the village, underground.
To be continued....
