7 Person Army of Power (Normal Edition)
Disclaimer: I don't own any video game character, or any movie, or cartoon, or any anime related references. Nor do I own any SEGA character, or will ever… wait; I could if I sent in the Water Tails idea… Hmm, no one better not get any ideas from that! But, I doubt they'd take the idea anyways…
Shadow T Hedgehog: It BOTHERS you? It's really supposed to mean the FFVI Shadow, not the hedgehog Shadow, so don't worry. Well, how'd you like the story so far though? It would help if you said something about it though… Thanks anyways for the review though.
SonicLover: Heh, you'll see in this chapter…Also, your welcome about the advertisements of your story. Who knows if they could be true? Maybe the games actually were recorded by the game companies… Wait, that'll make me crazy to you guys if I said that… Nevermind…
Chapter 2: Finally Caught?
I woke up after what seemed to be hours. I looked around and saw Sonic had fallen asleep on the front side of the dresser, and Knuckles in the middle of the room. Everyone else was asleep. I think. I got up and tried to stand up all the way, but I almost fell over because my legs weren't ready to stand up after sleeping in the awkward way I was in just to fit. Seriously, I'm at least 4 inches taller than Sonic, and I'm 6 feet tall. So, everyone was tall for their ages I guess. I still don't why I was just thinking about heights of everyone, but I just did. I tried to walk by the edge of the bed without hitting the desk next to it, and it formed at a 1 foot wide space. I got through, but went back as I saw Knuckles shift position, and he nearly hit my shoe, as I forgot to take them off before I went to sleep next to the bed.
I went back to my little space, only to find Tails was standing in my small space. "Couldn't sleep anymore?" I asked him rubbing my eyes.
"No, I never could sleep for to long. Actually, I never could sleep last night being nearly hugged to death by Amy. I guess she mistook me for Sonic." Tails answered.
"Hehehe, nice. Hmm, can you fly us over Knuckles and Sonic?" I asked. He nodded. He then jumped up and I grabbed his arms, and we flew over the sleeping Sonic and Knuckles. I let go and nearly fell backwards on top of Sonic, but I recovered quickly and quietly. Tails landed next to me, but he hit me in the face with a tail and landed weirdly because of it. He almost fell back on me, which would knock my already out of balance self off balance, but I gave him support with my right hand. "Close call, almost too close." I whispered. I opened the door and looked outside for a second. I closed back the door and looked at the clock on the dresser.
(7:29 A.M.)
"Whatcha see?" Tails asked me, hoping to get out of the room.
"Ready for a fight? 'Cause I'm not. At least, not yet." I said slowly as I walked back to the walk in closet, opening the door.
"What? Who's out there?" Tails asked alarmed.
"I don't know. Has a gun though, and with a silencer also equipped on it." I said as I looked around. "Skinny, but muscular. Weight looks to be about 180 pounds or more, and only muscle weight too." I said as I walked back out of the closet. I spotted Shadow's twin guns laying on the dresser. I grabbed one and looked at it. "Kinda like a Colt .45." I commented as I found his silencer. I twisted it on, James Bond style, and Walked to the door again, making sure to not hit Sonic in the head. Unfortunately, I hit his head squarely, and hard too.
He woke immediately, but I covered his mouth and looked at him with a look saying 'shut up now! Or we are gonna die!' and he nodded in acknowledgement of the situation. "Okay, I think I see." He whispered to me.
I grinned and nodded in return. I stealthily crept to the door, and opened it slightly, seeing the gunner looking around for anyone in particular. I aimed at the guy's back and squeezed the trigger. The bullet exploded out of the chamber and the guy was hit directly in his spinal cord. Blood sprayed out of the hole, and Tails cringed at the sound the blood made. Apparently he doesn't like that sound at all, and is affected by it. Or, he was seeing how good a shot it was.
"Sorry that I had to kill him like that. I missed my mark. I WAS trying to hit his head, but I got his spinal cord and heart instead." I said trying to calm him down. It was not a very good calming note to him, but he took it and gulped loudly after hearing the explanation. "I'm not very good at calming others down, are I Sonic?"
"I'd say, no." Sonic replied. He didn't see the blood yet though, so he wasn't frightened out by the sight, yet. We walked out of the room, and Sonic got to see the blood on the carpet splattered all over the carpeting. "He died a gruesome death." Sonic noted, and he turned away. Seriously, there was blood EVERYWHERE on the carpet.
I walked into the study, and checked for any remaining guys, but saw none. "Sonic, why don't you scout for anyone else, and see that you can tell me without getting caught."
"Sure, no problem. Back in a sec!" And with that, he scouted in just 4 seconds. "2 people left. One in the kitchen, and one in the living room."
I walked to grandpa's room and looked out of the window, and saw at least 20 odd robots trying to get in a window at the formal dining room. "Shit, more incoming. Heh, I'll just have to go Matrix style then…" I said as I ran back to the bedroom, and grabbed gun 2 from the dresser. I removed the silencer from gun 1, and began to reload both guns.
"I don't wanna kill anymore people!" Tails said cautiously.
"Technically, you never killed anyone here yet. Or will ever." I said. This calmed him a lot more than my previous attempt.
"That's good to hear."
"Move out!" I said as I went to the hallway to connect to the main hallway in my parent's house. I took aim and shot the living room sentry guard and ran to the kitchen and before the guard could react, I shot him in the chest. "Now, just for the remaining resistance." I said military like.
"Can we not kill any other people?" Tails complained.
I nodded my head." Just now to destroy some robots. I bet they were after me, again." I said as I ran to the formal dining room, where I unloaded my clips on the robots. I destroyed at least 8 of them before I ran out of bullets. From then on, Sonic and Tails had to destroy the rest.

One robot got through and lunged at me. I jumped up and grabbed one of Tails's arms with a hand, and got pulled up in time, making the robot crash into the wall, but not damaging the wall, thankfully. "Thanks Tails" I said as I dropped from the air, and landing on the robot. I grabbed its arm and ripped it off. In the distance, I heard a loud engine rev several times. "Shit, he has a car or something. Or my neighbor 3 houses down decided to go street racing again."
(A/N really, 3 houses down form my house, they hold street races at our neighborhood. A/N)
Sonic ran into the robot I was ripping to shreds and destroyed it, causing me to fly up and have to grab Tails's arm again to make sure I didn't land on Sonic, causing him to get hit by a robot, or get me captured by a random robot. "That's it! I'm not letting you try to fight anymore if you just end up having to use me to not get hit!" Tails said as he grabbed my arm to make sure I didn't try to let go and get hit by anyone. "I have a feeling you aren't safe in your house at all, and we'll need to take you back to our dimension to make sure nothing happens." Tails said with a bit of strain evident in his voice. He was tiring, and not in good times either. Sonic got surrounded by at least 12 robots and more came in the window.
"Let me go! I have a plan!" I yelled as I swung towards to the table in front of us. Tails ignored me and flew towards my bedroom. With me trying to kick off of Tails.
"Right, get yourself captured… I'm not taking it." Tails said rolling his eyes. In the other hallway, we got cut off by more robots, and Tails turned around only to see we were surrounded.
"No choice kid. We gotta take this chance." I said, even though I'm only 14.
"I guess you're right, except for the 'kid' comment." Tails said as he let go of my arm. I dropped down into a fighter's stance.

Tails also dropped out of the air, and he decided to hang back until I needed help, since there wasn't enough room to have both of us without him annoying me with his tails. "Good idea. I don't wanna have your tails hitting me as I fight." I said bluntly.
I leapt forwards at the nearest robot and punched the metal hard, but I only dented it. It raised a weird looking machine gun from its arms and fired at me, but missed and hit the robot behind me, destroying it. I ran back and grabbed the gun from the remains of the bot, and shot at the rest of the robots, destroying half of them before I ran out of bullets.
Suddenly, I felt a set of twin tails on my back. "I kinda got forced out of the room." Tails said weakly.
I sighed. "Yeah, whatever, just fight." With that, I jumped at the nearest robot and ripped its head off. Tails then destroyed another robot. "I got an idea Tails!" I yelled to Tails. (Somehow both my parents and the rest of the group don't hear the fights and my yelling.)
"What is it?" Tails asked as he got smashed back by a robot's arm. "Hey!"
"Whoa!" I said as a robot hit me at the same time Tails was hit, and we collided in midair. And basically we both fell to the floor at the same speed, and we crashed our heads together when we landed. "Ouch… That hurt." I said as I helped Tails get up.
"What was your idea Adam?" Tails asked me again.
"Oh, right! My idea was to try to take them all out by you flying up and I grab your arms and then try to hit them with my feet. It'll let me kick harder when I do so!" I said as I kicked a robot back into another bot behind it, making them fall over.
"I'm too tired to fly, remember?" Tails said as he hit one robot, causing it to fall to pieces.
"Damn, oh well. OUCH!" Another robot kicked me and then I went flying yet again into Tails, and we both flew back into the wall in the main hallway. We got up and heard a scream from my bedroom.
"AMY!" We both shouted as we ran back to the room, finding that one robot to be the last one in our way. We barged into the room, and found Shadow and Knuckles fighting a particularly small robot. But, they were all moving too fast to see much. Amy was suddenly thrown into the air by the small robot, which seemed to resemble Mecha Sonic, but was shaped like an echidna instead. And was also resembling a certain fox who wasn't even supposed to be in either Sonic's or my dimension, except in video games. "Is that a hybrid of a robotic version of Knuckles and Fox McCloud?" I asked myself.
"Yes, I am a hybrid of those two you have mentioned." The robot answered mid-fight. "I am Mecha KFMCH version 1.2."
"Heh, also a hybrid of the name. I bet you a million bucks it stands for Knuckles and Fox McCloud Hybrid" I said to Tails.
"That is correct." The robot answered again.
"Hmm, where's my million?"
"I never bet anything." Tails responded.
"Damn, I was hoping…" I said jokingly. I then realized that Amy was about to land on my head, so I hopped back and caught her in my arms. "No thanks needed. Anytime…" I said, cutting her off before she even got out a single word.
"Thanks anyways." Amy said, ignoring my first remark.
Shadow suddenly was struck and he went flying into the wall next to me. "Ouch. Shit, that hurt." He jumped back in the fray and now Knuckles went flying over my head.
"Uh, yeah, what is it with people flying over and around my head today?" I said as I grabbed a knife from my dresser, and slashed randomly into the fight, striking the metal robot 2 times, and Shadow once by accident. "Oops." I said after I struck Shadow again. "I'm a just gonna stop using this knife." I said as I tossed the knife into the fray, by accident. I still hit the robot in the head though.
"Nice toss." Tails said in complementation. I nodded.
"Maybe we should check up on my parents to make sure they aren't getting hurt by now." I said as calmly as possible, and Tails walked out of the room after me. I quickly grabbed my iPod nano and turned it on.

"Why that music? It's not really an adrenaline booster or anything." Tails asked me about the music choice.
"Eh, fine, but you'll hate the music probably until about a minute in…" I said (A/N you really might not like the next music choice, but oh well, it fits for the scene upcoming, in the later parts of it A/N)

"Wait for about a minute." I said as we reached my parents bedroom door. It was closed.
"Okay…" Tails replied, uncertain on what was happening behind the door. We heard a few gunshots and then silence.
"Shit, I'm going in!" I said, but Tails held me back.
"Wait, I hear something inside!" Tails whispered to me. I nodded and stopped resisting.
(voices inside the room)
A/N Script format works best here- Da man, Adam A/N
Voice 1: What are you gonna do to us? Kill us?
("I think that's my dad Tails." I say to Tails. He nods)
Voice 2: No, I'm going to use you as bait to get that kid of yours to come to me! Then you are useless to me!
("Definitely Eggman." Tails says to me. "Yep." I reply.)
Voice 3: My son will never fall to you and your dumb plans! He's not stupid enough to do that! He's a smart kid!
("That's gonna be my mom." I say to Tails. "Okay, I could have figured that out myself." Tails says.)
Dad: You aren't gonna take my son before I kill you!
Eggman: Oh, is that so?
(A gunshot is heard.)
Mom: What did you do to him?
Eggman: Nothing, just a tranquilizer bullet.
("That… bastard!" I said angrily.)
(End script format)
"I won't let him get away with my parents!" I say, standing up and getting ready to barge into the room.
"No! Wait! Remember he said they were to be bait!" Tails says to me.
"Fuck that!" I say as I pop my neck and my back.

I crash through the door, and it falls off its hinges, and Tails face palms. "You shouldn't have done that…" Tails says to me as I see at least 15 robots all pointing guns at me.
"Perfect, Matrix rip-off time!" I said, making everyone except for the robots and Tails to laugh. I jump forward, twisting in midair, and the bullets coming at me miss. I roll forwards on impact and rip apart one bot's legs. It falls and explodes. "14 to go!" I say confidently. Tails runs off and gets everyone else to help, but returns in seconds to find that no one was available to fight except for me and him. "No luck? Damn."
"Yeah, we gotta do this ourselves since you didn't wait…" Tails sighs.
"Ha! I knew it'd work!" Eggman cries aloud. I narrow my eyes and glare at him.
"You are dead." I say, and I run at him, even though he's in his pod, and it was the one with the tranquilizer darts too. He maneuvers the pod up and I now can't reach him.
"Not so fast!" He taunts me. He takes aim, and his guns don't fire for some reason! I grin, thinking of a taunt when this is all over.
"Heh, nice one." I say as I see Tails jump up and whack 3 robots in a row, destroying them all. "Triple takedown!" I say laughing.
"Just fight them Adam!" Dad yells at me. I nod with a smile/grin. I run after one particular robot, and elbow it, but I only hurt my elbow instead.
"Ow! Shit, don't do that one again." I warn myself. I run up to it again and kick it, utterly destroying it with an explosion that forces me backwards into the bed in the middle of the room. "10 to go!"
"Now he sounds like a NASCAR commentator." Dad said with a chuckle. I guess that dart didn't work so well after all.
"Thanks, but no thanks Dad." Say as I watch Tails be hit in the mouth by 2 robots in a row.
"Hey! No fair!" Tails shouted at the 2 aggressors.
"What? You think they'd want you to kill them?" I ask rhetorically.
"Eh, guess you're right…" Tails says as I jump up and jump off the wall to kick Eggman's pod once, and landing on a robot, destroying it perfectly.
"Man, if only I could have this recorded on tape!" I said as I destroyed another robot, along with Tails at the same time. Unfortunately, the dual explosions force us to fly back in midair, and we collided again in the air, much like last time. "That's happened twice today alone! Can't that happen to anyone else today or something?" I say as I get up, and Tails then kicks forward, knocking down another robot, where I tag-team it and smash in its face. "6 to go! Let's get them!" I shout in encouragement.
"Yeah!" Tails says with a grim chuckle as the remaining 6 surround us both. The circle is so small that it forces us back-to-back. "Um, this may not be a good time to say this, but I think we aren't going to get out of this one… I told you we shouldn't have tried to do this alone by ourselves…" Tails says nervously as the robots all point guns at us both in the face.
"I wished the Matrix was real… Then I'd stop the bullets easily… Right Tails?" I said with a grim laugh.
"Yeah…" Tails suddenly rolls forwards, tripping me with his tails, and the bullets all miss with the sudden move. I roll forwards and kick out at 2 robots, destroying them both. Same happens to Tails, except he gets to kill 3 of them. Only one remains. We glance at each other, and decide to silently attack from both sides. Then, a blur flies by on foot and destroys the last one. "Hey Sonic! We could have taken him on, you know…"
"Yeah, but what's the fun it that?" Sonic replies with a grin. I frown at him.
"You stole our KILL!" I said irritated. "Oh well, baka!" I laugh heartily, but in a good way.
"Heh, nice." Tails says semi-laughing.
"I'll get one day Adam! Mark my words!" Eggman yells at me. He attempts to fly off, but I call to him before he leaves.
"Next time, turn the safety off!" I taunted, and he gets the 'angry vein' above his forehead. "Oh, and your pod's on fire!" I say as I toss up Dad's cigarette lighter, and the pod catches fire.
"AHHHHH!" He screams as the pod falls back to earth 4 houses away from our house.
"Loser…" I say turning to my parents. "You okay?"
"Yeah, but… who are they? And where did they come from?" My mom questions me.
"Long story… I'll tell you later, after we check on the others…" I say a I run out, and Tails follows. Sonic stays back to explain to my parents I guess.
"It kinda started like this…" I heard Sonic start.
"Hehehe, Sonic's gonna have a long explanation ahead of him!" I say at the same time Tails does to.
"Yeah, a long one!" We arrive at my room and find that Mecha KFMCH version 1.2 is destroyed by Knuckles and Shadow, and Amy was now safe from the attacking robot that now lays in pieces.
iPod Nano is turned off.

"Everyone okay?" I ask as I step into my bedroom.
"Yeah, but only thanks to you!" Amy says with a huge smile.
I smile back. "Thanks for the complement, but Knuckles and Shadow blew up the robot, not me. I only helped save you from the fall you were having." I said.
"Well, actually WT came to and beat him." Knuckles says, scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, I woke up and saw the fight, and decided to help, why do you ask?" WT asks me.
"No particular reason." I reply.
Tails pulls me aside to the hallway. "I think that we should go back and look in the room Sonic was fighting in, don't you?" I nod at the suggestion and we leave for the room. The room is in a mess, with robot parts strewn all over the room, and the furniture unharmed somehow, and thankfully. We search the room for any little thing that was left behind by Eggman to leave a clue to his new whereabouts. "Dang, no clues here. Any over there Adam?"
"Nope, not a single one." I say after searching the room. "I wish he'd left some dumb note to his next place he was at… Guess he finally got over being dumb about that kind of thing…" I say sighing in distress.
"Oh well, makes my job that much harder…" Tails says. He bites his lower lip He also begins to move around a lot more too. "I wonder, is it in the kitchen maybe?"
:I don't think he left any signs of his next operations base. Okay Tails?" I say, getting suspicious of Tails's extreme amount of moving. "Are you getting hyper?"
"No, not really…" Tails says, now moving into the living room faster than he did before to the kitchen.
"You sure you're all right?" I ask, now trying to stop laughing at the speed he was moving around at now. "If you're trying to look around for something, why are you moving so fast?"
"I…" Tails starts, but never finishes.
"Just stop!" I say, beginning to get annoyed. He stops immediately. "You are getting nervous, right?"
"Err, no…" Tails was definitely hiding something now, and I was sure of it.
"You act like either you are hyper, or you are nervous. Tell me, or I'll have to hit you with a cardboard tube I have in my room!" I say jokingly, but Tails cringes.
"NO! The last time that happened, I was finding that people put staples in those things for no reason!" Tails says, now blocking me from going to my room and getting the small tube.
"You need to stop moving so weirdly." I say now laughing at his movements. Even when he was still, he was restless. "You really need to tell me now, or you're gonna end up going crazy!" I say.
"Okay, fine. I have to use the restroom now!" Tails says to me biting his lip even harder.
"You didn't want to tell me THIS for 5 minutes?" I face palmed, and just walked off. "It's right here." I say as Tails rushes in, closing the door. I sigh and shake my head, and walk off. "Geez, such a simple question, but it took him 5 damn minutes to tell me. I'm going to my computer now…" I say to no one.
I looked at my watch.
(October 1st, 5:47 P.M.)
"Damn! That fight took all day!" I say aloud. I logged back on my computer, and opened up my Creative Media Player and played-
CMP is now playing- Cassandra Gemini by The Mars Volta
Knuckles, Amy, and WT all walked into the room, and just sat around doing nothing. After a while, Amy walked over to my chair and looked at the computer screen. "Whatcha doing?" She asks me.
I turned around and stopped my work. "I was animating with Flash. I was trying to make an animation on a street race, but the cars don't want to do what I want them to. Stupid Action Script." I curse the Action Script part of my Flash animation. I closed down the program after saving my progress. I then opened up a window of the Programs folder.
Suddenly, Amy pointed at one program. "What's that for?"
"Hmm, which one?" I ask. She points again. "Oh, that one. The program Sonic is a CD burning program that lets me copy CDs, but I'm trying to get Nero from my brother, but he's in college right now. This program came pre-installed on my computer when I ordered it." I say, giving the exact reasons for the program. If you think I lied, I really wasn't making a single bit of the description up. Even the Nero part of me wanting that burner program instead, since it is better.
"Okay, I guess…" Amy says not understanding any one of my words about the program. "That reminds me… Where's Sonic?"
"I think he was talking to my parents about the current predicament you guys are in right now, and the one I'm in too." I say in response.
"What predicament are you in?" Amy asks me.
"Apparently the fat idiot wants me for some reason. Weird? I bet he wants me to try to help him, but I'm not gullible, unlike our friend over here." I pat Knuckles on the head.
"Hey! I only messed up a few times!" He shouts at me.
"I don't care. But, like I was saying, I bet he wants me. But, I'm more likely to go and serve you guys than him." I grin. "It's probably is because that I have such a horrible past, that he thinks I'd join after a while. The thing he doesn't know is that I will kill him before anything makes me work for him." I say as I brandish a knife from my pocket. I cut my cheek slowly, letting the blood trickle down my face, and then my throat. The cut makes Amy wince at the sight.
"Why did you do that?" Amy asks me now backing off from me.
CMP is now playing- You Never Know (Guitar Remix) by thegimpsta
"You will never know why I did, even if I did tell you." I say with a smirk. Tails walks in, now finished. He sees the cut and flinches.
"What the? You never got cut there!" Tails says loudly, and WT and Knuckles look at me.
So? I made it myself, not by anyone else." I stressed out some off my words.
Everyone walked out of the room, except for Knuckles. "Why in the world did you cut yourself for no reason?" He asked, having a lifted eyebrow at me.
"I just did. I always did cut myself on purpose. But, it's not because I wanna do suicide, it's just me. I cut myself on purpose. That's all I'm saying." I say to Knuckles.
"Okay, right…" Knuckles says, getting up and walking out. Tails ends up walking in, and he sits down in the other chair in the room.
"Whatcha doing anyways, besides the cut." He asks me, looking at the screen. I was now checking my emails, but I ended up looking at the wrong one at the time. It was one over another Sonic Fanfiction. "What the? What is this?" Tails questions me.
I smile weakly. "Fanfiction emails. The site it leads to is where people write stories on different games, anime, movies, books, and others on whatever they wanna write about. This particular one is actually about a character named Leo, and he ends up going to your dimension and meets you Tails. But, they aren't really things that happened per se? That's why they call them fanfictions." I say, hoping that Tails doesn't ask any other questions.
"Wait, you only said games, anime, books, and movies. What's that mean?" Tails asked, making me wanna go away for awhile, and not answer his question.
"You really wanna know the truth?" I ask.
"Yeah, I wanna know the truth." Tails then answers. I sigh and take a deep breath.
"You, along with Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, and WT are all video game characters made by SEGA. Actually, I made up WT, along with another writer on fanfiction. net. You apparently found a way to travel to the real world, AKA this dimension." I said, hoping Tails really didn't want to know any more.
"I… don't believe it… You're lying!" Tails said in rage.
"Sorry, wish I was Tails, but I'm not lying. For once." I snuff a laugh. "Don't tell the others yet, not ever actually. Okay? You hear that? No telling the others."
"Okay, I'll try to…" Tails promises.
(October 1st, 6:57 P.M.)
"I think you should not think about it yet, not until I can talk again to you in private. But now, I gotta go and see about the others, and the explanation on how it went, or is going." I say getting up from the chair. I walk out of the room, but Tails calls back to me.
"So, no telling anyone right now?"
"Yeah, don't tell." I say, going to the living room, where everyone is at.
A/N That's a real big bite of reality for Tails I bet! Well, until I update, review please!
