Dark Friendship Part II

The Revolt

Hamtaro and Bijou made it to the Tornado, and Hamtaro climbed on the wing.

"Hamtaro" asked Bijou "How are we going to both fly in the plane if it only has one seat?"

"You can fly the plane, I'll stand on the wing" said Hamtaro

"Hamtaro, are you nuts?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Sonic taught me how to stand on the wing of a flying aircraft without falling off. All you have to do is keep it steady"

"Oh, alright. How do I fly the plane?"

"Tails installed a how-to-fly instruction video in the plane. It will guide you through on how to fly"

"Oh, okay"

Bijou started the plane and Tails appeared on the screen.

"Hello" said Tails "My name is Miles 'Tails' Prower. This video recording will guide you on how to fly this plane"

Bijou followed the instructions as she flew the plane and Hamtaro stood on the wing without loosing balance. Then, they arrived at stations square, and in the ocean just outside the city, was the U.S.S. Hedgehog, home base of the Sonic Team. Hamtaro told Bijou to land in the hanger. She did what he said and landed strait in there.

"How was my landing, Hamtaro?" asked Bijou.

"Not bad for a beginner" said Hamtaro

They looked around the U.S.S. Hedgehog for Sonic; then they found him on the deck.

"Hey, Hamtaro" said the blue hedgehog (that's Sonic for those of you who don't know)

"Hey, Sonic" said Hamtaro

"Who's your friend?" asked Sonic

"My name is Bijou, the power ham of ribbon" said Bijou

"A pleasure to meet you, Bijou. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, leader of the Sonic Team"

"I am from France, if you want to know about me"

"Sweat! My family blood-line is French, so do you still parlez français ?

"Oui, monsieur" said Bijou

"Frais, vont comment les choses à l'île?" asked Sonic

"Non bon, Le meilleur ami de Hamtaro pense des choses négatives à lui" said Bijou

"Ah, vraiment? Pourquoi êtes-vous ici?" asked Sonic

"Je suis juste ici pour l'encourager vers le haut" said Bijou

"Ah, Je vois. Je connais maintenant que vous avez des sentiments pour lui, droite?" said Sonic

"Oui je! Comment avez-vous su cela?" asked Bijou

"Je sais des choses. Je suis dedans aux couples aidants, comme le cupidon!" said Sonic

"Hamtaro et moi avons fait cette une fois!" said Bijou

Hamtaro couldn't understand a word they were saying so he shook it off by saying "Hey, Sonic, what was it that you wanted to show me?"

"Oh, yeah!" said Sonic "Tails made this for you guys. Tada!"

Sonic held out his hand. It was a communicator watch just like his.

"A communicator watch? Thanks, Sonic" said Hamtaro.

"This isn't only for you, Hamtaro" said Sonic "We didn't know how many power hams there were, so we made a whole boxful of them. We made it so that you, the power hams, and we can get in touch with each other. Why don't you try it on?"

Hamtaro did as he said and put it around his wrist.

"Cool!" said Sonic

Sonic raced off really fast.

"Wow, Hamtaro" said Bijou "He can run as fast as you can"

"Faster than the speed of sound, that's why his name is Sonic" said Hamtaro

Then, Sonic's voice came from the watch saying "Hey, Hamtaro, can you hear me now?"

Hamtaro lifted up the watch and said "Yes, I hear you, loud and clear"

"Good"

Sonic raced back and said "the irony is that these watches were made from the same technology as T-mobile"

Silence.

"Nobody gets it? Tough crowd. Anyway, here you go, Bijou"

Sonic gave another watch to Bijou.

"Thank you, Sonic" said Bijou

"The rest have been loaded in the Tornado" said Sonic

Hamtaro looked at his communicator watch and said "Thanks, Sonic. I…"

Then, a faint breeze blew across Hamtaro's face. These kinds of winds were different to Hamtaro, whenever they blow, it always meant evil was abroad, and it always lead strait to it. This one lead back to the island.

"…I gotta go" continued Hamtaro

"Leaving so soon?" asked Sonic

"Yes, that wind told me that no good is happening on the island" said Hamtaro "Bijou and I got to head back. Thanks for the watches"

"Okay, see ya later, Hamtaro. Bye, Bijou" said Sonic waving good bye as they ran to the hanger.

Hamtaro and Bijou climbed aboard the Tornado and flew towards the ham-ham island.

"Hamtaro?" asked Bijou "How can you tell that wind lead you to trouble. How can you tell the difference?"

"I just can" said Hamtaro "I'm the power ham of the wind, remember? That wind was no ordinary wind; it was trying to tell me something"

"Okay, were nearing the island"

Bijou landed the Tornado and they got off. Hamtaro stood still, feeling the wind once more.

"There's something going on in central city, come on" said Hamtaro

Bijou grabbed on to Hamtaro and they raced off to central city, where it was being destroyed.

"Man, what a mess!" said Hamtaro

"What happened here?" asked Bijou climbing off Hamtaro

"I don't know, Bijou" said Hamtaro "But, I'd like to find out"

"Hamtaro, look! It's Oxnard!" said Bijou pointing to Oxnard

Hamtaro race over to Oxnard and said "Hey, Oxnard. What's going on?"

"The city's being destroyed, what does it look like?" said Oxnard

"I know that, Oxnard. Come on, help me and Bijou find and defeat the threat"

"No"

"What? Why not?"

"Because I am the threat!"

"You're joking!"

"It's no joke, Hamtaro. Look around, do you see anyone else here besides us and the screaming civilians?"

Hamtaro couldn't believe it. Oxnard was right, he was destroying the city!

"W-what? Oxnard, you…" said Hamtaro "…I don't believe it"

"Oxnard" said Bijou running toward them "Is this true? How could you!"

"Oxnard, why?" said Hamtaro

"Because, you were never there, Hamtaro" said Oxnard "I'm just giving you a taste of what betrayal is like"

"Oxnard, don't do this!" said Hamtaro

"It's too late, Hamtaro" said Oxnard "I've turned to the dark side. I'm the villain now!"

"Oxnard, no! You can't!" said Bijou

"I can, I will, and I did" said Oxnard "Sorry, Hamtaro. But from now on, we're enemies"

Hamtaro looked at Oxnard in the eyes and said "Friend or not, I can't let you do this. I won't let you destroy what you vowed to protect"

Hamtaro and Oxnard sprang at each other, fighting. Hamtaro ran fast around Oxnard, but was stopped because Oxnard hit him with one of his wings. Hamtaro drew his staff and Oxnard drew his wings and ran towards each other. Hamtaro started swinging his staff around and Oxnard started swinging his wings around. Hamtaro jumped in the air and preformed a spin attack, but Oxnard defended himself with his wings and pushed Hamtaro away. Hamtaro made one last attempt to defeat his former friend, Hamtaro backed up and burst into speed and hit Oxnard so hard, that Oxnard flew back a foot or two.

Oxnard got up and looked at Hamtaro. They both were breathing heavily.

"So" said Oxnard "You're better than I thought. But that doesn't mean I'm turning back to the light. I'm sorry, Hamtaro, but we're mortal enemies. Good bye, old friend"

Oxnard sprouted his wings and flew away, and Hamtaro had no energy to go after him. Hamtaro looked down, dropped his staff, fell to his knees, and tears flooded his eyes.

"Why, Oxnard? WHY?" yelled Hamtaro as his voice echoed through the ruins.

"Hamtaro" said Bijou, eyes filled with tears, too, kneeling down to comfort Hamtaro "It's okay"

"No, it's not, Bijou" said Hamtaro "Oxnard, my best friend, has turned evil"

"Hamtaro, I'm sorry" said Bijou "I had no idea this was going to happen"

"This isn't your fault, Bijou" said Hamtaro

The sun started to set down on what remained of the city.

Meanwhile, Oxnard was in the sewers following the map. Then, he got to the point where it marked the spot. No one was there.

"He's not here" said Oxnard.

Oxnard pounded the wall and said "I knew I…"

Then, suddenly, the wall he pounded started moving, leading to a path. Oxnard followed the path where it lead to a room. It had a bed, table, a fridge, and many machines.

"6 years I had to live down here" said a voice from behind.

It was the hooded figure. "Welcome to my home, Oxnard" he said "I'm sure we will make a great partnership"

"Cut to the chase" said Oxnard "What do you want?"

"Ah, a little ambitious are we?" said the hooded figure "You're running a little late on the task I asked you to do"

"Sorry" said Oxnard "I ran into Hamtaro and…"

"Hamtaro!" said the hooded figure "Why that no good…Ahem. Yes, I hate him very much. That's why we must stop him. Now, listen carefully…" A machine turned on making a loud noise "…Then, meet back here. And if Hamtaro or any other power ham gets in the way, do everything you can to get them out of your way, got it?"

"Alright" said Oxnard "I'll do everything I can to stop them"
