Video Game Village

By: Metal Sonic EX

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the storyline. See. Short and simple.

Okay, time for another lecture, then a new chapter. Just a reminder, the new guy's identity is going to be revealed in this chapter! And, Sonic is going to give him the tour, but not before meeting someone he'd prefer not to. And now, chapter two!

Chapter II

Meet the New Guy

Suddenly, Sonic heard a click. "Forty-five seconds left. This has to be a record." Sonic clenched his fists and looked to his right. "Shadow." There, leaning against the brick wall with a stopwatch in his hand, was the black hedgehog with red highlights and a white tuft of hair on his chest that Sonic loved to hate.

"I see Hatcher actually threw an egg at you."

"I'm going to get you for that."

"Sure, you are. I'll see you later. Just wanted to see how long it took you to get here this time."

"What!"

"See ya. Chaos Control!"

Sonic shielded his eyes as Shadow disappeared in a green flash of light. He shrugged and began to pace back and forth. Thank god that he's gone. Now where's that new guy…

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Video Game Village, a small red guy was equally as nervous.

What if they don't like me?

What if they want to kill me?

What if they want to put cottage cheese in my Miracle Whip? Hey, wait! What the… (I don't own Miracle Whip either, just so you know…)

"Where'd that come from?" The new guy wore white gloves like Sonic, however, these had red spots on the back of each of them. He had white shoes with red spots on either side of them. He also wore black sunglasses. The only thing that you would find odd about him was that he was literally a walking dot. "Well, here it is." He began walking up to the main gate and found a blue hedgehog pacing back and forth. They told me someone would meet me here. What time… 3:02… I guess this is the guy I'm supposed to meet…

The new guy walked up to Sonic, but didn't get in his way for fear that he would be paced over. "Um, excuse me." Sonic just kept pacing. "Excuse me." Nothing. Then he got an idea. He stuck his foot in Sonic's way, but when Sonic reached it, he just stepped over it and continued pacing. This guy's good. Just when he was about to push Sonic over, Sonic stopped and practically screamed, "I'VE GOT IT!" The new guy freaked out and landed on his butt. "I'll rig the toilet so that ever time he flushes, the water rises and doesn't stop rising. And then, all of his fecal matter will float all over town. Yes! Let's see what Shadow's reputation looks like after that!" The new guy just stood there, dumbfounded. Sonic snapped back to reality.

"Oh, um, sorry. How long have you been…"

"You're going to make someone's fecal matter float through town?"

"Oh, sorry. You'd understand if you knew what he did."

"I bet I would."

"Oh, sorry again. Name's Sonic."

(A.N. The moment of truth…)

"My name's Cool Spot. But, everyone just calls me Spot."

(A.N. The plot thickens…)

"Hey, listen. You don't mind if I call you newbie, do you?"

(A.N. I'll bet these random author notes are getting annoying, huh…)

"Uh, well, sure. I guess that would be fine."

"Cool. You see, it's kind of a tradition here. The new guy is always call newbie, new guy, noob, etc. etc."

"Oh. Okay. Then sure. Why not."

Sonic and Spot shook hands and turned towards the main gate. "Ready for the tour?" Spot shrugged. "I guess so." Sonic started walking back into the city and Spot followed behind him. After a couple minutes of silence, Sonic spoke up. "Okay, this is kind of complicated, so listen up. Each video game series gets a house, the size depending on the size of the series and how many characters there are. For you…" Spot started. "Oh, um, I'm the only real character in my series. As for number of games, I think about two, but I'm not positive.

"In that case, you'd probably just get a normal house, if you don't mind." Spot shook his head. "Not at all." They suddenly came to a stop. "Why'd we…" Sonic held up a hand. "I figured that it's a bit late in the afternoon to take a complete tour, so we'll just stop and take a look at the mansions. You don't mind do?" Spot shook his head again. "In that case, this," he gestured to a mansion in the middle of a huge yard. "is the Megaman mansion."

Spot peeked through the cracks in the metal gate and saw Zero (MMX) using K Knuckle (weapon from MMX8) on what looked like a homemade punching bag. Ciel (MMZ) came up to him. "Hey, Zero. How are you doing?" Zero continued to beat the punching bag senseless. "Me? I'm doing just fine." Zero gave the punching bag one last hard punch, knocking it down from the tree. "AH! My back!" Ciel started. "Zero, is that…" Zero just stood there, smiling. "Oh my god!" She quickly undid the bag and out came Bass (MM7 - MM8) who was beaten to a bloody pulp. Zero pointed a finger at him. "That's for calling me a girlie-looking long haired robot in Power Fighters!" Zero turned and walked away, leaving behind a stunned Ciel, Sonic, and Spot.

Sonic and Spot left before anything else happens and stopped by another mansion. "This is the Playboy mansion. Spot started. "Are you serious!" Sonic chuckled. "Nope, just kidding." Spot gave a sigh of relief. "This is actually the Mario Mansion.' Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Donkey Kong were playing tennis. Donkey Kong threw the ball in the air, then whipped his racket forward. The ball landed on the ground and rolled away. "What the…" DK held his racket up, revealing a tennis ball-shaped hole in the middle of it. "Oh." Everyone began groaning and Mario ran to get the ball. When he did, he noticed Sonic with some red guy turning and walking away. So, he did something he thought would be funny. He served the ball and it hit Sonic in the back of the head. Sonic caught the ball and they both turned around and saw Mario give them the finger. "Up-a yours, hedgehog!" With that, Mario turned around and ran back to his friends.

"I take it he doesn't like you that much?"

'Nope, not at all. Stupid Italian."

Just at that moment, Vectorman was walking by.

"Hey, let me guess, Mario served a ball at you?"

"Pretty much."

"Figured."

"Hey, Vectorman. Would you mind doing me a favor?"

"Depends…"

Mario was back with his friends playing four-on-four tennis. Mario, Wario, Luigi, and Waluigi were one team, and the other one was DK, Peach, Toad, and Yoshi. Mario was about to serve the ball when… "Hey, Mario!" The tennis ball hit Mario on the head and everyone turned to look at Sonic. "Mamma mia!"

Sonic and Spot were stand next to Vectorman's tank mode, the turret aimed at Mario. "Think fast!" Vectorman shot the tennis ball out of his turret and the tennis ball got Mario, as Cartman said from the one episode of South Park (which I also don't own!), square in the nouts. Everyone just stared at Mario as he fell into the fetal position, muttering curses to the hedgehog in the process. 'Thanks, Vectorman." Vectorman transformed back to normal and everyone started to walk away. "Anytime."

After many more stops, Sonic and Spot came to their last stop sometime in the evening. "And this, my friend, is your house." Spot raised one of his nonexistent eyebrows at the sight. It was a run-me-down shack that was literally falling apart. Speak of the devil, look at that! The roof just caved in! "Are you serious?" He looked at Sonic. "Nope, that's your house." Spot looked to the house next to the pile of wood and nails. It was just an ordinary, everyday house. It was painted white and the windows had red shingles on them. The door was a nice mahogany color. You know, just your everyday house. "Uh, thanks." Sonic nodded.

"Any questions?"

"Yeah, two."

"Ask away."

"First, who's house was that?"

"Oh, that pile of wood. Man, that was here when Video Game Village was first established. God only knows who it belonged to."

"Okay, and two. What that?"

Spot pointed to a bright yellow line several hundred yards away that had been painted in the middle of the street.

"Oh, that. Trust me. You don't want to cross that line."

"Might I ask why?"

"Yeah, look."

The two had strolled over to the line so when Sonic pointed ahead of them, all Spot did was raise his head. On the other side of the line, there were more houses. But these were evil and sinister looking. Even a thunderstorm was booming away above them. "And this is…" Sonic's eyes narrowed. "The bad side of town." Spot seemed confused. "The what?" "The bad side of town. That's were all of the video game villains go to live." Spot started again. "Wait, isn't Sephiroth…" Sonic nodded. "He's one of the few villains that still live in this part of town." Sonic glanced at his watch. 'Well, it's been nice getting to know you, but I've got to get going. My friends are probably worried about me." They shook hands one last time. "Just give me a call if you need anything."

With that, Sonic took of, leaving Spot at the edge of town. Spot shrugged and began to walk back home. Ah, well. Ya know, I think that I'm going to enjoy being here.

And so ends chapter two. In the next chapter, Spot gets up close and personal with too many neighbors at one time, Sonic gets his payback on Shadow, and Spot also meets the Pac-family for the first time. So tune in next time when Spot has trouble with Too Many Friendly Neighbors.

Sonic: Well, I don't know…

Metal Sonic EX: You don't know what?

Sonic: I don't know what to call this chapter. The world's biggest cowpie, some really bad crap, or, maybe I'll call it…….
