What's Wrong With You?
Chapter Three
Shadow: That author better give me my five bucks for doing this...the disclaimer is the same as the last two chapters.
Vinny: Actually, he's not paying you. He just le-
Shadow: WHAT? Get back here! (Runs out of the room)
Kai: Okay then...
ShadowX: Look, here's a new chapter.
Gahlik: Since when has Pyro Hedgehog4ever started doing this thing?
Jayln: He started last chapter, only you were still tazed.
Vinny: As awesome as this is, can we just do another chapter? Thanks!
Ugh...I think I've just been embarrassed very badly...why is it that it's when we meet Amy that...ugh, my mind isn't pure anymore...I may need rehab or something...looks like Kai's going through the same thoughts, she's right next to be, backed up on the wall as well...
Vinny's thoughts after he appears in Amy's room...
"Uhh...hi, uh, Amy." Shadow said, looking at his feet. Amy immediately jumped away from Sonic, the two of them inside a bed, all but their heads hidden under the sheets. Vinny laughed nervously, and Kai gulped.
"What the HELL are you doing here?" Amy screeched angrily. Vinny and Kai exchanged horrified glances.
"You see, weird stuff has been happening, and we were wondering if you knew anything about it...we were going to stop by Sonic's after this, but it would appear there's no need..." Vinny said hesitantly.
"This is a big invasion of privacy..." Sonic said, slightly aggravated. Vinny laughed nervously and shifted slightly towards Kai.
"Look, we have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about, so can you PLEASE leave?" Amy growled.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" Vinny and Shadow exclaimed quickly. There was a flash of emerald green light, and they disappeared. They reappeared on Angel Island, right in front of the Master Emerald. Somehow, the moon was shining, and reflected radiantly off of the Master Emerald. Rouge was currently attempting to steal the Master Emerald from Knuckles, who was chasing after her. Rouge collided in mid-air with Shadow, and they fell to a heap on the ground on top of Knuckles.
"That was weird...oh well; at least I landed on something soft!" Rouge exclaimed. Knuckles drummed his fingers against the ground, and Rouge looked down.
"Oh! Oops..." Rouge said, blushing. She and Shadow got off of the red Echidna. Shadow dusted himself off.
"Wow, I thought you guys would be doing something similar to Amy and Sonic..." Vinny started.
"Amy and Sonic? What the hell would Amy and Sonic be doing that we might do?" Knuckles asked angrily. Vinny froze, realizing his mistake. Kai quickly covered for him.
"Besides the point. Look, have any of you seen people acting completely abnormally, or someone mentioning a 'Master', or even 'mind'?" Kai asked. Vinny gave her a look that clearly said, 'I owe you one, thanks'.
"Actually, no, we haven't, or, at least, I haven't. What about you, Knuckles?" Rouge asked. Knuckles responded quickly.
"No, I haven't. I live on the Island, so I don't go down often. The only people I've seen in a while are Rouge and Vinny." Knuckles replied. Vinny raised his left eyebrow.
"And why would you have seen Vinny?" Shadow asked sassily.
"That's right! He's never up here, he's too busy playing soccer with Kai, Kill the Annoying Blue Hedgehog with Shadow and Gahlik, playing video games with ShadowX, or playing table-top tennis with me!" Jayln exclaimed. Everyone stared at Knuckles.
"D-don't you remember, Vinny? That time where you came up here, and asked if you could h-hold on to the purple Chaos Emerald?" Knuckles asked, slightly shakily.
"He's right, but that was a few months ago, before anything happened." Vinny said, remembering.
'I knew he'd remember that...I can use the Master Emerald to manipulate memories...' Knuckles thought secretly.
'I knew he'd remember that...I drove a probe into his head that would make him remember that...' Rouge thought, hiding a grin.
'I knew he'd remember that... playing video games for hours on end, especially the 'Metal Overlord' or whatnot from 'Sonic Heroes' can disrupt all of your thoughts!' Shadow thought, rolling his eyes.
'I knew I'd remember that...I remember the things that are of the least importance, except for that ONE thing of extreme importance, which I can always remember...how I feel about-' Vinny thought.
'I knew he'd remember that...I was there with him, wondering how he truly felt...about m-video games!' Kai thought.
'I knew he'd remember that...why, I don't know...' Jayln thought. Jayln looked up, and saw that everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
"I think we can go now, unless someone's secretly stalking us from that tree back there." Jayln said, pointing to a tree some dozen yards away over her shoulder.
'No! She found out about the joint attack!' Knuckles thought nervously.
'No! She found out about the joint attack!' Rouge thought, terrified.
'No! She found out about the joint attack!' Shadow thought quickly.
'No! She found out about the joint attack!' Kai thought with a jolt.
'Wow, that tree over there is awesome...' Vinny thought, looking at a random tree. Behind the tree, Gahlik and ShadowX were armed with M16's and were ready to rock and roll. The two of them unleashed fire amongst the six of them.
"Incoming!" Kai exclaimed, before grabbing an oblivious Vinny by the hand and diving behind a tree, using it as a shield. Jayln and Shadow darted for the nearest unoccupied trees.
'That was too close...' Kai thought, as bullets shot through the tree bark right next to her face. She felt the air whip her in the face, and pieces of bark cut at her skin. There was a loud bang, as a burn mark suddenly appeared on Kai's forehead. Vinny saw the mark, and gulped.
"I don't see this ending well..." Vinny said nervously. Kai slowly turned around, a gun materializing in her hand. She pointed it at Vinny, a red dot locked onto his chest. Kai grinned a grin that was beyond her years, and Vinny shuddered. She pulled the trigger, and there was a loud bang.
Jayln...
"That was way too close..." Jayln said nervously. She was kneeling behind a tree, bullets flying in the air around her. She heard a 'bang', and instinct told her to duck. She did so, and a strange bullet flew in the air where her head was. It was green, with a small white stripe in it. She saw it hit a tree, and it left a burn mark.
'Gahlik had a similar burn mark... that means one of us is the "Master" person!' Jayln realized with a start. She looked over, and saw Kai pointing a gun at Vinny's forehead. She then fired, and fear filled Jayln's eyes.
Shadow...
"That wasn't the joint attack I thought it would be!" Shadow exclaimed, bullets narrowly missing his face. He then looked over from behind the tree, and saw Kai point a gun at Vinny's head, and fire.
"No, Chaos Spear!" Shadow exclaimed. There was a flash of yellow bolts, and the bullet froze in its path, giving Vinny just the right amount of time to get away. Vinny took it, and disappeared into the woods. Shadow and Jayln split up, dodging stray bullets. Rouge and Knuckles were already gone, from the looks of it. Shadow was leaping over fallen trees, and dodging standing ones. He felt the familiar brush of wind blowing gently across his face, and slightly grinned. Suddenly, the trees stopped, and he saw a wooden house ahead of him. It seemed to be a small house, and Shadow immediately recognized it as Knuckles' house. Shadow dashed through the doorway, and bolted the door.
"So glad you could make it, newest minion..." said the figure that attacked Vinny in its cold, harsh voice. Although Shadow couldn't see its face, he felt a feeling of recognition.
"You..." Shadow said, slightly horrified.
"Yes, me...we have got to stop quoting the Matrix..." The figure said. Shadow nodded, before freezing in his spot.
"I only know one idiot who'd say something like that..." Shadow said, before removing the hood with a jerk of his hand.
Vinny...
"Great...we've lost ShadowX, the only guy I know who can wield a double-bladed sword, Gahlik, the voodoo-ist comic relief, and Kai, the only one who could find those who were affected! Oh crap, here they come!" Vinny exclaimed, rolling to the side to dodge a barrage of green bullets that had white stripes. They left solid burn marks on the ground, and Vinny realized something with a jolt.
"Only someone intelligent could come up with something like that! That means it must be...-"
Jayln...
"NO way...one of us is trying to take over our bodies...I won't let him or her get mine!" Jayln exclaimed. She lengthened her stride, and continued her sprint into the forest. She ventured deeper and deeper, until soon there was almost no light at all. Trees overhead were blocking out all of the moonlight, so Jayln might as well have been mostly blind. She stumbled over a fallen tree, and fell forward.
"It's so dark in here...what was that?" Jayln asked, as she felt a person move nearby. She heard the rustling of bushes, and Jayln stood in a fighting stance.
"W-who's there?" Jayln asked hesitantly. A loud bang echoed throughout the forest. Jayln instinctively ducked, and then dashed to the left. She then jumped in mid-air, and caught the branch of a tree. Through the dark she saw one clear thing: a piercing green eye, shining through the darkness.
"Kai...looks like it's now or never!" Jayln exclaimed, as she leaped down on top of the green eye.
"I don't know how to save you, but I can make it easier for you!" Jayln exclaimed, before pulling out a tazer that had fallen from Vinny's cloak. She charged it, and stood in a fighting stance.
"One blow, that's all I need. One blow." Jayln said aloud, as she and Kai charged at each other. There was a sound of electricity slipping into someone's body, a loud, bloodcurdling scream, and then the sound of someone dragging someone along. A green eye blinked open, and scanned the area.
"Mission success. Objective captured. She is ready to have her mind be given to you, Master." Kai said, her green eye flashing.
And we've got suspense all around. Shadow's just found out who the person is, Vinny believes he just found out who it is, and whether he's right or wrong, no one (except me) knows, and Jayln's in a tough spot with Kai, who's just been taken over. Where's Knuckles and Rouge? Find out in the next chapter of What's Wrong With You?
Shadow: Finally, I can get some rest now!
Vinny: Come on Shadow, gotta get ready for the next chapter!
Shadow: Why me God, WHY ME?
Kai: Stop complaining and come on! This next chapter is important!
Jayln: Really important!
Gahlik: Super Important!
ShadowX: Hi-
Vinny: Just be quiet all ready! Sheesh! We really need to work on that new chapter already!
I think this is a good place to end it, so... Pyro Hedgehog4ever (hey, it's not all the way over to the left! It's a first!)
