Sonic Battle AdventuresEpisode 2: If I Only Had a Hammer…
"So, have you found out what this thing is, Tails?" Sonic asked, walking into his lab. Tails was studying Emerald, who was sitting a table with several electrodes on his head. Tails looked over to him, and shook his head.
"Not a clue!" He admitted. "Although he seems to have traces of a Chaos Emerald in him, how and why he got here is a real mystery! What do you think this is, Sonic?"
"I don't know!" Sonic replied. "You're supposed to be the smart one!" Tails sighed.
"Why can't I find any smarter friends…" He muttered to himself. Sonic looked at Emerald, and the two of them stared at each other.
"Hello!" He said, trying out some new words. Sonic nodded.
"Hiya!" He replied. "How's it going?" Emerald shrugged, saying he didn't know.
"I don't understand…" He said. He said this whenever he didn't know the meaning of a word.
"Never mind!" Sonic said. "Hey, how about a little spar!" Emerald looked over at him blankly. "You know, like a practice fight!" Emerald's eyes lit up, and he jumped from the table, and pulled the electrodes off of his head.
"Oh yeah!" He yelled. The two of them went ran over to Emerald Beach, where they did most of their sparring. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure was watching them as they went off to play. It was in a tree, shrouded by a dark cloak that seemed to give shame to the shadows. It jumped on the ground, and ran off, preparing to make its plans.
"All right Emerald, do you think you're ready for me?" Emerald looked blankly at him, and Sonic sighed. "This is gonna be tough…" Suddenly, Emerald charged at Sonic, but due to the blue hedgehog's supersonic speed, he was easily able to dodge Emerald's punch. Sonic landed behind Emerald, spun around and delivered a spin kick right to Emerald's face. Emerald suddenly grabbed Sonic's leg when he was sent backwards by the kick, and gained his balance. He swung Sonic around and around, and let go of him!
"AHH!" Sonic screamed before he got a mouthful of sand. He spat the sand out, and turned to Emerald. "Looks like you can really fight!" He dashed towards Emerald, but Emerald dodged the charge.
"I'm sensing a slight relaxation in your leg muscles!" Emerald said. "This indicates a level of restraint!" Sonic stopped, and his jaw dropped.
"I didn't know you could talk so well!" He praised. "Were you just playing dumb?" Emerald just gave him a blank stare, and Sonic was confused himself. "Oh well, if you don't want me taking it easy on you, then it's time to take it to the max!" Sonic pulled out a power ring, and the super-charged his body, increasing his speed and strength. Sonic ran towards him, and stopped right in front of Emerald's face.
"I sensed a 200 increase of speed!" He said. Emerald then pulled back his arm, and punched at Sonic! Sonic ducked, tripped Emerald, but Emerald spun his tails around and blew sand at Sonic! Sonic covered his face, and the sand knocked him down. Emerald took to the air, and circled around Sonic. Sonic stood up, and brushed the sand off all over his body. He took off his gloves and shoes, and dumped all of the sand out of them. He placed them back on, and looked up at Emerald.
"You can run, but you can't hide!" Emerald stopped in mid-air, confused on the old adage. Sonic took this opportunity to run around in circles, and created a sand tornado! It reached Emerald, and Emerald went flailing through the air! Emerald slammed into the ground, and struggled to stand up. He finally stood up, but collapsed out of the dizziness. The next thing he saw was Sonic standing above him, holding his hand out. Emerald took it, and pulled himself up.
"I think that about does it for today!" He announced. Emerald seemed to think about something, and finally tapped Sonic on the shoulder after they started walking home.
"You keep mentioning "it". What is "it"?" He asked.
"It is everything!" He said. "It can be used to described anything, like genders or objects!"
"Even creatures?" He asked. Sonic shook his head.
"Maybe at first, because you only describe something as an it if you don't know its' gender." Emerald nodded, and Sonic finally felt relieved that he finally understood something he said. Maybe he was able to talk to!
When Sonic and Emerald finally got to Tails' house, Tails opened the door, looking scared and sweating.
"What's wrong?" Sonic asked. "What happened?" Tails gulped.
"She's been here!" Tails gasped. "She wasn't convinced when I told her you weren't here, so she just barged in and searched the place! I tried to stop her, but you know how Amy gets!" Sonic gulped, and quickly ran inside, pulling Emerald there, too.
"So do you think she'll be back?" He asked. Tails nodded.
"She was here about an hour ago, and she said she would come back about now!" Sonic gulped again, and started panicking. Suddenly, there was a loud pounding on the door!
"I know you're in there, Sonic!" She yelled. "Just come out already or I'm coming in!" Sonic's teeth started chattering, and Tails started panicking too.
"We have to hide Emerald!" Tails cried. "You know how she got when Emerl was around, right!" Sonic gasped, and remembered the hard, cruel times. Tails accidentally led her to believe that Emerl was Sonic's "child", and she thought that he was practicing for their own child. Sonic grabbed Emerald, and threw him in a closet!
"Look, whatever you do, don't let anybody but us find you until we tell you too!" He ordered. Emerald nodded, getting most of Sonic's words. Sonic closed the door, and tried to find a way out, but it was too late. Amy barged through the door with her hammer, and caught Sonic.
"Do you know what day it is?" She asked him angrily. Sonic slowly shook his head.
"Wh-wh-what day is it?" He asked. Amy just looked like she was going to kill him.
"It's the day we first met! Our anniversary!" Sonic just stood in horror. He had to find a way out of this!
"You're right Amy!" He replied. "I apologize for my forgetfulness, so let me make it up to you by taking you out on a date!" Amy's face lit up, and she gasped.
"Really?" Sonic nodded.
"But I'm pretty darn dirty training right now, so let me take a shower first, okay? You can wait for a bit, can't you?" Amy nodded, and sat down. Sonic ran upstairs, and went into the bathroom. The turned the shower on for good measures, and then went into Tails' bedroom. He opened the window, and jumped through it! Sonic landed safely, and ran like the dickens!
"Man, I can beat Eggman, Shadow, and Knuckles, but when it comes to that girl I always seem to be running!"
About a half an hour later, Tails and Amy were sitting at a dinner table, bored out of their minds. Tails needed to make sure Amy didn't find Emerald, and Amy was tapping her fingers on the table, impatiently waiting for her hero.
"What's taking him so long?" She asked, standing up. She gasped. "Maybe he just got too shy! Maybe he wants me to find him!" She stood up, preparing to leave.
"Um, Amy?" Tails asked, trying to stop her from finding Sonic. Sonic was going to owe him big time. "Maybe Sonic just can't find a wardrobe? After all, it is a special occasion!" Amy, seeing through Tails' obvious lie, just swung her hammer down on the table, breaking it in half!
"What do you mean? Sonic doesn't even wear anything besides gloves and shoes!" She yelled. In the closet, Emerald looked at the destructive power of Amy and her hammer, and thought it would be a good idea. He created another green orb, and it changed into a green hammer identical to Amy's! Unfortunately, Amy and Tails saw the cracks of green light from the closet, and Amy walked over to the closet, but Tails tried to stop her, but it was futile. She kicked him away, and opened the door. She gasped at the sight, and Tails just sighed, ready to tell her the truth.
"I'm sorry, Sonic and I wanted to keep it a secret from you…" He said. "We wanted to hide it from you…" Amy looked at Tails, but she smiled, instead of becoming angry.
"HE REMEMBERED!" She yelled happily. She ran in the closet, and pulled out Emerald's green hammer. "He was just pretending to not know what I was talking about! He's so sly!" She giggled for a while, leaving Tails confused.
"Huh?" He asked.
"Sonic saw how banged up my Piko Piko Hammer was, and he wanted to get me a new one for today! Green's a little out of style, and doesn't match my outfit, but it's the thought that counts…" Tails walked in the closet, and looked around. He found Emerald on the ceiling, using his arms and legs on the walls to keep him out of sight.
"Uh… Yeah!" Tails said, going along with it. "We even managed to make it out of a Chaos Emerald, so it would be stronger than your old hammer!" Emerald scowled at Amy, thinking that she was stealing his hammer. "He also wanted you to find him on Emerald Beach, to make the scene more romantic?" He hoped that Amy would ignore his last words as a question, and just run out.
"Thanks, Tails!" She yelled.
"Thank Sonic for the idea!" He yelled. When Amy left, Tails sat down in a chair, and let out a sigh of relief. "That was close…" Just then, Emerald decided to drop in, and walked next to Tails.
"She took MY hammer!" He complained. He started to walk out the door, but Tails grabbed him.
"I had to let her take it, she would have never leaved any other way!" Emerald looked confused.
"But her size and weight were small, and assuming by her power and speed of her hammer, and assuming that she wasn't showing restraint, you might have beaten her and Sonic would have easily beaten her!" Tails sighed, wondering how he could explain this to Emerald.
"It's not all about who's stronger than who!" He explained. "If we wanted to make her leave, we could have, but we choose not to! If we wanted to get some food, we could have just gone and stole the food instead of paying! We have to use our abilities wisely, and that's what makes us heroes! We're heroes, and heroes don't beat up on twelve year old girls!"
"If you're so nice, then why lie?" He asked. "Just tell the truth!" Tails sighed. "If our logic's right, one lie makes more lies!" Tails sighed.
"I guess you're right! Let's go find Sonic, and we'll explain what happened to her!"
Meanwhile, a little spy robot finally made it to Dr. Eggman, and he watched the footage of the event.
"So, that hammer has the strengths of a Chaos Emerald! Perfect! Send the bots out at once! We need to get that hammer!"
"Are we going to find Sonic, or not?" Emerald asked. Tails shook his head.
"We looked all around the town, and Amy's gonna be at Emerald Beach any second now!" Suddenly, the two looked up to see several rockets flying through the air, right at Emerald Beach!
"Oh no!" Tails yelled. "If those missiles hit, Amy's gonna be killed!" Emerald nodded.
"I believe there is some sort of machine inside of them!" He yelled. He looked at Tails. "What shall we do?"
"If you established a link with Sonic, then maybe you could somehow sense where he is!" He said. "I'll go try to save Amy, and you try to find Sonic and bring him over here!" Emerald shook his head.
"I want my hammer back!" He yelled, flying at full speed towards Emerald Beach. "You go find Sonic!" Tails sighed, and flew up, to get a better view to find Sonic.
"Sonic! Where are you?" Amy asked. She heard a sound from above, and she looked up to see several rockets crash into the ground, surrounding her! The rockets then seemed to gather electricity, and made an electrical fence around her! Then the rockets opened, up, revealing several red viper robots, each twice the size of Amy. One of the vipers seemed to cough up a round metal ball, and an Eggman hologram appeared before her!
"Dr. Eggman!" Amy cried in fear.
"Hello rodent-girl, I've sent these Mini-Egg Vipers, or MEV, to come for your hammer. If you surrender the hammer, we will leave without harm, but if you refuse, well lets just say a certain hedgehog won't have any love problems anymore!"
"Like I'm gonna give you my anniversary present!" She yelled back. "Your little snakes don't look so tough!" Eggman pointed to one of the MEVs, and it turned to a palm tree. It opened its mouth, and a laser cannon appeared. It fired at the tree, blasting it to smithereens!
"As you can see, you don't have much of a choice!" Eggman's hologram faded. Amy looked around at all of the vipers, and got her hammer ready.
"I'm still not gonna lose!" She yelled. All eight of the MEV opened their mouths, and prepared to fire. They fired, but before the lasers struck, she felt a slight tug on her hammer.
"Chaos shield!" A green barrier appeared around Amy and Emerald, and the lasers went scattering everywhere! The lasers destroyed two of them, and Amy opened her eyes to see the result.
"Wha-" She asked, wondering who this new hedgehog/fox was. Emerald just smiled at her.
"I want my hammer back!" He yelled. Amy looked at him angrily.
"What do you mean, your hammer? Sonic and Tails gave this hammer to me!" Emerald sighed, and tugged the hammer away from her. He held up the hammer, to see the identical color between the two. The hammer disappeared back into the green orb, and Emerald placed the orb in his glove.
"I made this hammer myself!" He explained. "Tails just gave it to you just to make you leave!" Amy looked shocked, but soon got angry.
"I'll kill him!" She yelled. She pulled out her hammer, and pointed to the six remaining MEV. "But I think I'll take my anger out on you first! The two of them charged, and smashed a MEV together! The five MEV circled them, but Emerald was ready. He grabbed Amy, and fell backwards. He hovered in midair with his back facing the sand, and made another sand tornado! He flew around, getting sand in all of the MEV's joints, and ruining them a bit.
"I love sand!" He cried happily. The MEVs still were functioning, but the sand disabled quite a few systems, such as their lasers. It didn't really take a while for the two of them to destroy them, for they were practically defenseless without their laser. The two worked out a good sweat from the fighting, however, and both just laughed.
"My name is Emerald, named after a Chaos Emerald, I think!" He greeted.
"And my name is Amy Rose!" She replied.
"Don't tell me I missed all of the fun!" Sonic complained. "They already took them out!"
"Tch, those punks were pushovers, through and through!" Emerald bragged. "Those guys deserved to be trashed like that!" Tails sighed.
"How come that attitude sounds so familiar…?" Tails asked rhetorically.
"Well, I think I know someone who can tell us some things about Emerald!" Sonic said.
"Who?" Tails asked.
"Knuckles, of course!" Tails shook his head.
"I don't know, remember when Knuckles and Emerl first met? There was a bit of tension between them!" Sonic shrugged.
"Do we have any other ideas?" He asked. "Besides, it'll be great to set out for another adventure!" Tails thought it over for a second, but agreed. "Then it's decided! Come on Emerald, let's go to Holy Summit and see Knuckles the Echidna!" the three took off, but Amy quickly grabbed Sonic's spines, and pulled him back.
"Wait a minute, are you going to go off on another adventure?" She asked. "If you are, you're taking me with you!" Sonic gulped.
"I don't know, we'd make better time if without you! And I'm not doing this to get away from you, I'm doing this for Emerald!" Sonic's last sentence didn't sound so believable.
"Even if you do go without me, I'm just gonna follow you anyway!" She said. Sonic sighed, and gave in.
"All right…" Amy smiled, and delivered a huge hug to Sonic.
"Oh thank you for letting me come with you!" She said.
"I didn't know he had a choice!" Emerald whispered to Tails. He nodded. The four marched off towards Holy Summit, and their next adventure.
"So another quest has begun…" The creature in the dark cloak said, hiding in a tree. "Little do they know what's in store for them!"
