Busted
The coldest of chills passed behind Matt's sweating forehead, and like a roaring volcano, not a single ounce of cold air could dwarf the staggering heat that boiled upon the human's sweating brow. Every person in the store stared at Matt, like a sea of twinkling stars, all boring their razor sharp edges into one single planet, piercing its very identity with a sea of vulture like glares. Matt gulped.
Tails bit his lip gently "Uh S-s-s-sonic, what do we do now?".
The shaking eyes of Matt's trembling face rippled like an ocean's wave, crashing upon the Earth's floor over, and over again. A security guard removed a pair of hand cuffs from his back pocket and moved towards the furry creatures and their "owner".
Matt frantically screamed "RUN".
Sonic, Tails, Bunnie, and Sally screamed as they split into different directions and raced across the toy store, frantically dodging the evading the security guards.
"No, no, not that way" Matt said as he chased after them.
Tails soared into the air on his hovering twin tails. The young fox gasped as a large guard leapt towards him, he quickly hovered to the side and watched as the guard crashed into a shattering sea of board games.
The guard growled "Hold still you rotten little brat".
Tails headed towards the front door, spinning his tails faster and faster to pick up even more speed. The fox boy stopped as he noticed a large, glittering glass container filled with multicolored ball shaped candies. The crystal ball sparkled like a glittering gold coin in Tails' young eyes.
Tails smirked "You guys are fast on you're feet, but let's see you guys keep up with me now".
The gumball machine was thrown to the ground and the glass ball was shattered. Rainbow colored candies rolled across the ground like an oil spill, spewing its suffocating contents across every inch of the floor. The guards gasped and slipped, their black shoes finding little traction on the surfaces of the rolling gumballs. Meanwhile, Sonic was having the time of his life giving the security guards a run for their money, or in this case hedgehog.
Sonic laughed "Come on slow pokes. You're making this too easy, maybe if you guys lay off the donuts once in a while".
One the guards growled angrily at that remark and pulled out his stun gun. The guard fired the electric needles at Sonic, the hedgehog gasped and jammed his red sneakers into a squealing halt. The live electricity danced like wildfire in the hedgehog's eyes, the quills on his back stood up like blowfish spikes.
"Wow, now that's some hot stuff" Sonic said.
The hedgehog continued to dance between isles, and he also continued to run every time those bee colored electrical wires flashed their sparkling, blood red needle pointed tips. Eventually Sonic was cornered down an isle by at least 3 guards.
The center guard chuckled "We got you now kid, the only way out is through us".
Sonic looked around the isle he was in and smiled "Whatever you say".
Sonic's white gloves wrapped around the pink colored handles of a children's bicycle, the shiny colored handle tassels flashed like a pair of blinking headlights from an oncoming car. The guards blinked in confusion.
Sonic smirked "Coming through".
The hedgehog's red sneakers started to spin in a circular motion, faster and faster they moved and they quickly turned into a pair of miniature red cyclones. The blurry movements continued to spin like a pair of circular tops. Sonic dashed forward and crashed through the guards on the bike. The guards cried out as they were tossed into the air like a trio of bowling pins.
HEY!
Princess Sally loudly struggled as a security guard had locked his powerful forearms across her brown, chocolate colored furry chest. The guard's crushing forearms felt like 2 gorilla arms, squeezing the life out of the young princess like a piece of rotten fruit.
"Let me go you big oaf" Sally said.
The guard groaned as he tightened his grip "Quit you're dam squirming squirt. This for your own good, you're going down to the station kid whether you want to or not".
Sally smirked "I choose door number 3".
The princess reared back her elbow and violently jammed it into the guard's gut. The guard clutched his bloated, frog like belly and held the throbbing sack of flesh like a wounded animal. Sally back flipped towards the toy light sabers and quickly removed one from its packaging.
Sally frowned "Stand back, I'm warning you".
The guard's face grew bright red, almost the colored of a ripe tomato as his body roared with laughter. The large man held his bald head as he tried to conceal his irritatingly annoying hyena like laughter.
"Give me a break kid. Now put the tinker toy down, I'm through playing games with you" the guard said.
The furry princess smiled "Oh really? Well how about we play doctor instead? We can start with my favorite procedure".
WHAM!
Princess Sally crashed the toy light saber right between the guard's legs.
Sally smirked "A vasectomy".
The guard dropped to his knees and held his groin, his eyes bulged out like bulging baseballs, veins stretching over them like vinyl stitching. The indescribable pain crippled the man's legs as he collapsed and dropped face down into the ground. The guard slunk down like a sickly, wilted flower. During the midst of all this fighting, Bunnie appeared to be having the least difficult of battles.
"Don't you boys know how to treat a lady right?" Bunnie asked.
The rabbit's cyborg appendages made short work out of the guards. No matter how many or how fast they came, the guards stood no chance of capturing Bunnie with that robotic arm of hers. Matt gasped out a breath of fresh air as he finally managed to track down one of his four furry friends.
Matt sighed "Thank god, I was looking all for you-HEY".
Before the aching human could wrest his weary limbs, Matt's eyes widened in horror, like a pair of swelling plant pods. One of the guards had grabbed Bunnie by her ears from behind, the guard was now literally yanking her off her feet. A red haired guard snarled as he grabbed Bunnie's metallic arm.
The red haired guard snorted "Cheeky little brat, let's see how tough you are without this. UGH. This thing is on there really tight isn't it?".
Bunnie screamed out in pain. The force of the guards trying to remove her metal arm felt like they were trying to remove her brain from her skull, it was down right excruciating.
"Hey, get you're damn hands off of her" Matt said.
Enraged and mortified, Matt charged forward and crashed his aching body right into the 2 guards. Bunnie gasped as the vice like fingers released their hold on her soft fur and her ice cold, metallic limbs. The guards stood back up and grabbed Matt by the neck. The red haired guard smashed his fist into Matt's face.
The guard sneered "Stupid moron, you're only making it worse".
The red haired guard added "Screw this Roy, I'm using the stun gun. That'll give Mr. Hero here something to think about".
Matt gasped as the red haired guard removed a stun gun from his belt and aimed it directly at Matt. Roy smirked as his fellow guard fired the gun, Matt closed his eyes tightly.
CRUNCH!
Bunnie grabbed the device and crushed it beneath her metallic fingers, the stun gun cracked under her fingers like a soda cracker. Shattered crumb sized parts leaked out from Bunnie's mighty mechanical grip. Both guards were completely stunned.
Bunnie scowled "Y'all try and hurt old sugar Matt one more time, and I'll squash you jerks like a pair of pesky mosquitoes".
The Southern belle hurled the guards back with a single toss, Matt was dumbfounded. The human rubbed his eyes and wondered if perhaps he was just imagining how incredibly easily Bunnie handled those 2 guards.
"You okay sweetie pie?" Bunnie asked softly.
Matt smiled "Uh y-y-y-yeah I think so. Thanks Bunnie, no one uh n-n-n one's ever stood up for me like that before. No one except……you guys".
Bunnie sweetly smiled back "Hey, what are friends for?".
The very mentioning of the word friend seemed to ring like sweet music in Matt's ears. The man's eyes glittered like tear drops beading off the leaf of a plant, his heart and soul raced with indescribable feelings of warmth and love. It was as if this weary, lonely, bitter human had never even heard that word before, like his entire life had been completely devoid of friendship.
"Friends, I like that, I like that a lot" Matt said to himself.
A loud alarm went off and Matt quickly snapped out of his sweet, surreal little fantasy. That loud, ear shattering banshee like siren reminded Matt that it wouldn't be long until the police arrived. Matt called out to Sonic and the others and quickly raced towards the front door. The toy store's guards chased after them.
Sonic smirked "Hey Bunnie, how about we give these guys a road block?".
Bunnie nodded "One roadblock, coming up sugar hog".
After the gang exited the toy store, Bunnie wrapped her steel digits across the longest, heaviest metallic object she could find: a parking meter. Bunnie jammed the parking meter into the revolving glass door at the front of the toy store. Loud thunder like thumps hammered against the bouncing, shimmering mirror like surface of the revolving door. Matt sighed in relief.
Matt blinked "Nice work guys I think we…… (Turns around) awe CRAP".
Red and blue colored lights flashed and flickered across the teaming masses of people that gathered around the toy store. Matt started to sweat as 2 officers slowly exited a single police car; he panicked and made a mad dash towards his car.
Tails gulped "Uh oh, not these guys again".
Sonic, Sally, and the other furry Freedom Fighters ran off in the same direction as Matt. The two policemen flashed their curious, invasive dark eyes towards the fleeing furry creatures. The cops raced after Sonic and the others with little reason or thought. Flashing memories of last night's strange accident were vividly burnt into the officer's minds, like battle scar or painful wound resurfacing.
"Get in, get in, get in" Matt insisted as he slammed the car doors shut.
The black doors of the rotting, rusty automobile clanged shut with a screeching squeak, like 4 crowbars prying open a rotted piece of metal. Matt ignited the ignition switch and slammed his foot onto the gas pedal. The cops called out to Matt and cursed bitterly, the 2 men could do nothing but watch as Matt drove away from the scene of the crime.
The left officer sighed into his receiver "We lost him, yeah, yeah I know. Don't worry we got his plates, he's not going anywhere".
A few minutes passed, Matt and the others felt they had driven far enough. Matt stopped the car and panted, his wheezing breath sounding like the choking gasps of an elderly man, breathing his last brief gasps of fresh air before passing into the next life. Bunnie and Tails curiously peered their young eyes to the back window, looking for any signs of police cars.
Bunnie smiled "Road looks right as rain honey, no sign of those cop guys anywhere".
Tails sighed "What a relief, those guys are almost as scary as Swat Bots".
Sonic laughed "Boy I'll say, the only good thing about these guys is that they don't got laser blasters and jet boots. Just be glad you never got to meet some of our world's cops Matt".
The hedgehog blinked as his words went unanswered, Sonic turned around and gasped as his green eyes widened like a pair of rising suns. Matt was passed out, face down into the steering wheel and drenched from head to toe with sweat and pale colored skin.
Sally gasped "Matt, Matt, Matt please wake up".
Sonic screamed "MATT".
