Team Unlikely
Part II. Team Blast Dilemma
"You three!" an alien menace yelled, pointing one of his many tentacles to Team Unlikely, "Here are the keys to your room! It's down the hall! The event shall begin tomorrow!"
Shadow took the keys and handed them out, then they all slided out and ran to their room. They entered it and plopped on the beds, each perfect for them. Froggy bounded from Big and came to rest in a small pool of water by the cat's bed.
"Well these aliens certainly seem to be accommodating," Tails said after a few minutes of uneasy silence.
"Listen," Shadow begin, getting up and looking around. "It's only by pure chance us three are in this together. We barely know anything about each, or even what we're capable of. However, it's up to us to save Earth it seems. So, differences aside. Let's band together. For the sake of Earth!" Shadow then stuck his hand out.
"For Earth!" Tails shouted, placing his hand over Shadow's.
"For Earth!" Big heartily agreed, placing his paw over Tails.
"TEAM UNLIKELY!" the three shouted, throwing their hands up. Froggy croaked, and the three eyed each other with new found respect.
Just then Big's stomach rumbled. "Hungry," the cat whined, looking around the room. A quick check showed them that their was no food in the room.
"I guess we find a cafeteria or something," Tails said, giving a shrug. The three left the room, Froggy staying in the small pool.
They made their way down the hall, every once and a while seeing an Alien Menace. Then they found it.
It was huge, cavernous would be the best way to describe it. Different chairs were set up for different species, and looking about, they could see several different groups of three. One group were insect-like, another were so strange even Tails had trouble describing them.
"Food!" Big yelled happily, and made his way to a window where an alien resembling a cross between a bear, gorilla, and kitten was serving food.
"Hello. What's your planet of origin?" the alien asked.
"Earth," Tails said, from behind Big.
"Here you go," the alien said, pulling out three hamburgers, putting them on trays, and handing them to the three. It then pulled out three glasses, filled them with water, and handed them to the three.
After looking about, they found some seats that worked for them, sitting next to another team of three.
Tails looked up at one of them, a hulking mass of muscle and fur, slightly resembling a grizzly bear. Though it's fur was a dark blue, and it had four arms.
"Ummm," Tails said, guessing he would at least learn something about alien species while here, "Are you the Power Formation for your team?"
The bear-like creature grumbled, and turned to look at Tails. "Actually," it rumbled, "I'm Flight." He then turned his back to Tails, showing two small twittering wings that the kitsune had not seen earlier.
"Wow…" Tails said, slightly impressed.
"He's Power Formation," the bear-like creature grumbled, pointing to a ball of light hovering over what looked like month old gym socks soaked in manure. The ball of light reminded Tails of a fairy.
"We should be going now," the third member of the alien team said, getting up. He looked like short, squat man, but instead of a human head, it slightly resembled a goats, if you let a two year old mess with it and add random splotches of color.
The bear-like creature grumbled and stood up. The ball of light twittered for a second, the gym sock like thing disappeared, and the three headed off.
Shadow, who had been watching, placed down his half eaten burger, a bad mistake as Big snatched it up, as he had done with Tails.
"So Tails, what do you reckon our chances are?" the Ultimate Life Form asked.
"Well…I honestly don't know. We have no idea what challenges we're going to be presented with, or the exact abilities of the other aliens. And thinking it over, it looks like their can only be one winner. What happens to the losers?" Tails answered, frowning as he noticed his burger was gone.
Shadow sipped his water, and then looked over at Big, who was smiling now that his stomach was full.
"Can we head back now? I'm tired," Big yawned.
"Sure," Tails shrugged. The three stood up and headed to their room, ready for sleep, to rest until the first challenge came.
0000000000
Eight different teams from eight different worlds assembled in the main room of the Alien Menace's ship. The leader, the same one who had collected Team Unlikely from Earth, was standing in front of them, his beak-like snout giving it's version of a cough, causing someone in the group to yell in terror, then began to speak.
"Today is the first challenge. We will test how well you can work together. If you do not pass the level, then you will automatically be disqualified, and your world destroyed. If you get through, you will be given the rest of the day off to prepare for the next challenge," the Alien Menace cackled, waving it's tentacles about madly. It then stopped, looking at the eight teams.
"Good luck!" it cried, and suddenly they were gone in a flash of light.
Team Unlikely found themselves in what appeared to be cavern. Different platforms hovered in front of them, a sign telling them to go that way.
"I guess we just get through this," Tails said, eying the platforms. "Speed or Flight Formation here," he then said, looking at the platforms.
"Let's go with Flight. It'll be safer," Shadow pointed out. They nodded and assembled, Tails obviously on top, Shadow clutching his legs, and Big holding unto Shadow's legs.
Tails took a breath, and flew off, landing on one platform, then got to another, and another. Finally they made it to the end, a vine waiting for them.
"Boy…That was hard…I'm used to just carrying Sonic and Knuckles," Tails panted, wiping some sweat from his brow.
"Speed Formation here, so we can move down it faster," Shadow said, pointing to the vine. He jumped on it and started grinding down it, followed by Tails, and then Big.
They slid down, turning into a corkscrew loop, causing them to get dizzy.
They landed, and stumbled about slightly, and got their bearings. Suddenly robots ran at them, cold, metal claws extended forward to rip their flesh.
"TEAM BLAST!" they all yelled automatically. This showed a mistake.
Big, had launched Tails into the air with his umbrella, attempting to do Team Rose's Team Blast. Tails had latched unto Shadow's legs, to send him whirling about the robots and smash through them like Team Sonic's blast. Shadow had grabbed out his Chaos Emerald and was about to shout, "Chaos Control." but the suddenly grabbing from Tails and launching into the air from Big had sent it flying upwards. It landed with a thud unto one of the robots, causing it to go mad and destroy the other robots, then exploded, and a stunned Shadow caught the Chaos Emerald which went flying out, having landed after being launched in the air.
"Okay…We'll practice a proper Team Blast later. For now, let's just not question this luck and continue onwards," Shadow said. Tails and Big nodded, and the three ran forward, wondering how much more was left to test them.
A.N. Part II! MUHAHAHAHAHA! Team Unlikely's first battle, and even though they messed up, they still won. However, harder things will be happening…Heh heh heh…
I know this isn't as funny as the last part, or the other fics I have in the Humor category, but I needed some seriousness. Do not worry though, more insaneness shall come!
I do not own Sonic and all related titles.
