Chapter 4: Emeralds of Power
"Oh ho ho ho ho!" Laughed the fat Doctor
"Eggman!" Sonic yelled.
"Hello there little hedgehog. Surprised to see me?"
"Actually, yeah, I thought you would be too embarrassed to appear again after I beat ya last time!"
"That was a combination of Luck and me not knowing your abilities, don't expect it to happen again."
"Just keep telling yourself that"
"In truth, I will keep coming after you, till you give me those emeralds you collected." Eggman Stated, ignoring Sonic's Comment
"Not going to happen, since you want them so much, the reason can't be good. What are they anyway?"
"They are two of the seven legendary Chaos Emeralds of course!"
"Chaos Emeralds?"
"Surely you have heard of them?"
"Can't say that I have"
"Ugh! I was beaten by a simpleton!"
"OI! I not simple! I just can't remember anything…"
"Hrmph, well for your information, the Chaos Emeralds are legendary gems… each one on their own is said to have infinite power, and together are said to ether bring about great miracles or great destruction"
"What…? These little rocks hold infinite power? That means… I got infinite power times two! Sweet!"
"Not for long you don't! I need those to further my plans, now hand them over…" the doctor started, and a flame thrower from the bottom of his ship fired at the ground near Sonic, making it go into a raging inferno "…Or prepare to be roasted!"
"YOUCH!" Sonic yelled as he jumped away "Hot hot hot hot!" he jumped over a lava pit to get away from the flames, as the doctor laughed at his dismay.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho! Ready to give up?"
"Never!" said the hedgehog
"Have it your way!" Eggman said as he moved his vehicle to burn the land near Sonic. Sonic jumped and did his spin into the bottom of the machine, knocking the doctor long enough for him to jump back to the other side of the lava pit, not that the flames had died down. "GAH!" the doctor said "another few hits like that and my Egg Flamethrower will be out of commission" he muttered to himself
Unfortunately Sonic had heard him "Only a few huh?"
"What? Oh no, he heard me!" the doctor said, flustered
"You bet I did buddy! Time to get rid of that machine of yours!" Sonic yelled as he again jumped into the Egg Flamethrower
"Gah!" Eggman yelled "You're not going to get away with this!"
"Yeah, that's what you said last time!" Sonic yelled, as he attacked one final time, and Eggman's flamethrower attachment fell out of his machine and blew up
"Not again!" he screamed in dismay "I will get you next time, mark my words!" he said as he turned the machine and ran
"Hey I'm not done with you yet!" Sonic yelled after him as he gave chase, making sure to press the button on the canister as he passed.
XOXOX
Sonic hated to admit it, while he was fast, Eggman could really move when he needed too. Then again, it hadn't helped that the area he chased him too was a city of bright lights that sometimes blinded, had big buildings to fly over, and filled with strange spheres with stars on them, that made "Bonk" noises when you ran into them and knocked you backwards.
Case in point.
BONK
"OW!" Sonic yelled as another sphere knocked him back into a wall. "What the heck are these things HERE FOR! Is there any point to them!" he muttered rubbing his head… "And why are there so many for that matter!"
He got up and dusted himself off and tried to continue again. He had found that the area was again, populated with badniks. Mostly the old crab and wasp ones he had met before, but there was one new one. It looked like some kind of crab with a spiky shell on wheels.
They where minor problems though compared to the annoyance of the spheres with stars on. And they weren't the only problem. Who ever made this city didn't like people, if the floating spiky spheres, more crushing pillars and large amounts of pitfalls where anything to go by.
"Looks like I got my work cut out for me" he said as he continued onwards…
