Chapter 5
Fight or Flight?
Omega was recharged. His extension chord was against the wall of the tube he was in.
"Examination complete. Motor skills 100. Battery fully charged." Omega assessed. Beneath him, there was a white light.
"Scan processing. Scan complete. Light plasmatic, bright. Heat signature, 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Walls made of metallic alloy with electricity running through them. 10,0000-watt battery power from walls. Filling up excess batteries. Filling completed." Omega said
"Heat signature overhead." Omega said looking up. Charmy was flying down at super speed.
"Hey Omega!" Charmy yelled.
"Sound signature resonating within walls. Echo louder than Processing speed. FAILING, FAILING!" Omega yelled. He short circuited, and there was a small fire on his chest. Charmy flew next to Omega, and flapped his wings. The wind from his wings put the fire out.
"Congratulations required." Thanking Charmy, Omega began to heal himself. Scrap metal from excess places on him moved towards the chest, welded together, and looked exactly like normal. The biomechanical organs in his body would have felt artificial pain, but the fire didn't spread. He felt fine for the whole time, but he still seemed alarmed. Beneath them, the forest finally came. The tunnel ended, and they shot through the end. The pair landed in the midst of the forest, both slightly shaken by the fall out of the tube. They fell in the middle of a field. The field had tall, blue plants that grew towards the sky.
"Plant stalks biomechanical, blue hued, and tall. Exact height varied." Omega said.
"Look how tall these are!" Charmy screamed.
"Processors failing, pitch too high!" Omega yelled.
"Fine I'll be quiet!" Charmy cried sadly.
"Good." Omega said happily. Charmy, looking sad, flew off.
Processing heat signatures. Found Charmy. Viewing flight path. Should return in 2 to 3 hours." Omega calculated. Just then, he heard something.
"Heat signatures identified. Show yourselves or be blasted!" he said, pulling out a blaster with a mechanical arm. 8 Tiny creatures popped out from behind the bush. They were a green-yellow, with black spots around them. They had antennae, Two on each head. Their eyes were red, but light. Each had a small set of claws. They stood on two legs, and had a small marking on each of their underbellies. "Creatures unidentified by evolutionary pattern. Spikes indicate relation to Enchilada race." Omega said. As he said it, he brought up a 3-d image of Knuckles, and one of the creatures. A yellow light shown on the two, up and down. A light in Omega sensor blinked MATCH CONFIRMED. The creatures suddenly jumped on him, hugging him. Omega, who took it as an attack, swung his arms. The creatures were thrown off of him, still hugging pieces of metal. They watched in awe as Omega artificially healed himself. They looked from the robot to the metal again and again. They then hurried off, at super speed. They returned with an army. The army jumped on him in an enormous bear hug. He shook them all off, leaving them souvenirs. They ran away and got more and more creatures. Among shaking them off, Omega brought up a 3-d image of Sonic, and one of Shadow. The creatures, surprised at the sudden flash of light jumped at the artificial images. The fazed through them, but the images scanned just in time. There was another match confirmation.
"Creatures related to Knuckles, Sonic, and Shadow. Creatures aliases: Shuckniles. There were about 500 shuckniles that jumped at him suddenly. They all stopped short, suddenly changing. They all transformed into mirror images of Omega. The leader of them all had an Omega symbol, though no one else did. They all suddenly said in unison
"Jetpacks activate!" Two jetpacks shot out of their backs, and they hovered in midair. Their droning chant of Jetpacks made Omega's sound processor almost explode. The shock instantly powered down Omega. He fell to the ground, clutching his head. He shut down, and the creatures surrounded him.
(Charmy's POV)
Charmy flew into the sky with speed and grace. His wings fluttered as he sped up. His heart was pounding from the workout, and from the insults.
"Omega is so mean! I just said something to him! I can't believe he just started yelling at me!" Charmy said to himself. He flew off towards a giant tree when he heard the sound of an egg cracking. The eggs were blue, with small dots on them. Two were open, and one was cracking. Looking at the eggs, Charmy saw what looked like a lizard peeking out at him. He was scared, and screamed.
Well, there's chapter 5. That catches us up with everyone. I guess I'll go to Shadow's stuff next.
