When a Hero Breaks His Leg, by TeaFlower

Disclaimer: I still don't own any Sega thingies, even though I want to. I still own Dr. T. Vulpes. She is my OC. I also own the Dream Meadow, which is described in very lush detail. I don't own Emerald Hill, either. I ROCK it! I also do not own City Escape. I am sorry I didn't mention that last time. PLEASE DON'T SUE ME! Also. That prelude from Final Fantasy. Composed by Nobuo Uematsu. It belongs to Square Enix. Yes, they still use it. I think. But it has been in the games since 1 and went to 10, I'm sure of that.

Notes: I am sorry for lack of updating and acknowledging reviews. Our internet died. But it is back, as of this update. Oh, and some new stuff that would make the avid readers out there seem to understand part of episode 1. Also, I have included what COULD have happened to make Sonic the fastest thing alive.

Episode 5: Cheese's Revenge!

It was a beautiful morning. The sky was cloudless, the grass beneath her feet was lush and green, and there were dandelions strewn about the meadow. She could hear a brook babbling nearby. She had found daisies and made a daisy bracelet and was now singing a peaceful melody. It was a part of the prelude to Final Fantasy. Nothing could disturb this moment. No-

"CHEESE!"
Cream stopped singing. She looked over her shoulder and saw her Chao, Cheese, hovering behind her. He was holding a piece of cheese, wrapped in plastic. Seeing that Cheese had no thumbs and couldn't open the package, Cream sighed and opened it for him. She then took the cheese and threw it somewhere far away. She knew her Chao could find it. He loved cheese and would be able to track it.

Cheese screamed, "CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!" and then flew off, after the slice of dairy product. Cream sighed and continued enjoying the peacefulness of the moment. She went back to singing and somehow pulled this gigantic harp out of the blue bag on her back (it looks pretty nice, really experiment with paint program!) and started playing it as she sang. She did not realize how far she threw that piece of cheese. But she will, soon.

---ELSEWHERE…---

Sonic stood, being supported on his crutches. He looked down at the landscape of Emerald Hill. It was a beautiful hill with many evergreen trees and some oaks and maples. It had lush green grass and was located near the ocean. Off in the distance, he could make out what could very well be Emerald Hill's opposite; the Chemical Plant. There, it was polluted and had acid rain often. The whole place brought painful memories back to Sonic.

---FLASHBACK---

The two hedgehogs were wandering around, looking at the scenery. They smelled great danger as they walked to this odd thing they saw from their house on Emerald Hill. It looked dark and ominous, but they weren't afraid.

Robert, the older of the two, looked at his younger brother. He was spinning around in circles, for who knows what reason. Robert had nicknamed his little brother Sonic, because he was unusually fast for a hedgehog.

But, just then, disaster struck. One minute, the two hedgehogs were walking peacefully side by side, the next, this flash of blue whizzed by. It circled the two hedgehogs, who were terrified. Sonic tried to keep up with the blue blur, but he was too slow. The blur finally stopped, and right before them was a light blue fox, waiting to pounce. And it did pounce. Robert, knowing that he was older and more of a threat to this fox, jumped in front of his little brother in an attempt to save him. The fox stopped and then looked at the creature before it. It then gobbled up the little brown hedgehog and sighed, as if in contentment. It then wandered off. Sonic was horrified. He vowed to kill that blue fox. But how?

The little hedgehog started taking daily runs. He would run for 5 miles, then he'd run back. Gradually, he got faster and his stamina grew. He, somehow, turned blue in the process. He tried washing his fur really thoroughly, but it didn't help. He decided it looked pretty cool.

---END FLASHBACK---

Sonic sighed. He missed his brother, and would do anything to get him back. But, for right now, let's go back to the humor and not the sappiness. Okay? Okay.

Just as Sonic was heading inside, something hit him square in the face. He peeled it off and looked at it. It was square, generally flat, and was yellow. He smelled it. It smelled… it smelled like…

"CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!" A light blue blur flew right into the cheese that Sonic held, as he twitched. The Chao started munching on it as it hovered in front of Sonic. Sonic started shaking. Just as this happened, Amy stepped out of the house, as if to go and torture Eggman some more. She watched as Sonic pounced on the Chao and started attacking it. (as you can see, Sonic extremely crazy) Amy then decided to take action. She took the squeaky part off her hammer of doom and put the killing, pointed, lead part on it instead. She then walked over to Sonic and hit him on the head with it. It made a CLUNK sound.

At that very moment, Shadow walked outside with the sign that had Sonic's life count on it. He held it up and it now said…

Sonic's Life Count: 96

Cheese flew off, to go get Cream. Can anyone say, 'Doom'?

---MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE DREAM MEADOW…--- ( - official name.)

Cream looked up at the sky. She decided her time in the meadow was over. Just as she stuffed her mammoth-sized harp back into that little blue bag of hers, she saw Cheese flying right at her. He looked hurt.

"What's wrong?" She said, concern in her voice.

The Chao looked at her with tears in its eyes and said, "Ooh, ooh, gibleh Sonicuh poopendarkel!" (Translated; Sonic attacked me!)

Cream gasped. She decided to go teach that mean hedgehog a lesson!

---ELSEWHERE…---

Sonic was finally beginning to wake up. He heard a beeping sound and felt many eyes on him. He also heard a squeaky sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw one of those heart monitor thingies and everyone but Amy around him. In the background, he saw Dr. Vulpes hitting Amy on the head with the squeaky hammer of doom. He looked around again and Tails finally said something.

"You're okay! YAY!" the little fox said.

"Woohoo!" Knuckles cheered.

"Alright!" Rouge said, while fluttering her eyes at Knuckles, who then began to scream again.

"Um… yeah. Great." Shadow mumbled, with less enthusiasm than everyone else. He then mumbled, "Oh, great. I wanted him dead!"

Then, the room door (which Sonic hadn't noticed before) burst open and in came little miss Cream. She looked very angry. She marched up to Sonic and started using his head as a bongo drum. Sonic then passed out from the pain.

Shadow held up the life count sign, and this time it read:

Sonic's Life Count: 95

---And so, readers, there you have it. I will review soon. But, for now, REVIEW! I need input.---
