chapter 3: first time meeting the enemy
warning!: torture scene. viewer discretion is advised.
after talking with my new friends for a while. it was getting late and all of them decide to went to bed. sonic told me i could sleep on the couch which I was fine with. its better then sleeping on the floor...
after laying down for a good minute or two. i finally close my eyes... which was a huge mistake...
(nightmare)
I was awoken by laughter. my hands were tied up and I was aching in pain...I couldn't move...like paralyzed.
the figure walk out of the shadows and I noticed the bastard right then and there.
the joker...
"oh dear boy you're finally awake" he said smiling. "it's time to take your daily medication" he tells me while he grabbed a crowbar.
then he started beating me over and over and over...forehand...backhand...
he stopped after the 23rd hit. he was getting tired of using that damn crowbar...and decided to use a different sick method he thought of.
I blacked out and woke up. I was tied in some electric chair.joker looked at me with sinister in his eyes and pulled the lever.
I was then hit with electricity, all of my body was being fried and burned.
I yelled out in pain while he laughed.…...he turned it off for a minute, then on and then off again and on. the cycle continued.
(end of nightmare)
i woke up and sat up on the couch. i was breathing heavily and was in a cold sweat.
I tried to slow down my breathing and tried to relax.
after calming down I got up to get some water and went to the sink. after drinking my glass I went down to the couch and went to back to sleep. luckily no bad dream this time...
morning 9:45
I was awoken by the smell of pancakes in the air. I got up and saw the gang talking and then noticed me.
"how did you sleep bud?" sonic asked me while trying to scarf down a pancake.
I just lied to him. "alright"
"there's pancakes if you want some!" knuckles yell out.
I said thanks and got up and served myself with 2 pancakes and started eating and chatted with the gang.
after finishing, the gang watches starting beeping. i was curious for what they are for so I ask them.
"they're mostly use to tell us about trouble." tails told me.
"looks like egghead is starting trouble again" sonic said annoyed while he drank his milk.
"well let's go then" knuckles tells us while cracking his knuckles.(what a phrase.)
the gang nodded and got ready and head out the door while I did the same.
after gearing up I joined them outside and ask where the trouble is located.
"says here it's at the village." tails told me.
"alright let's go" I said while running to the village.
"hey! wait up stranger!" sticks told me while all of them were trying to catch up to me.
after the mourning run we finally reached the village and I see a man in some ball like vehicle. he was accompanied with 5 robots similar to the ones I fought.
he then noticed us and yell out.
"ah sonic! I was wondering when you and your friends will show up!" he said with a evil grin.
"cut the crap egghead just tell us why you're here!" sonic said with annoyance in voice. like he's being doing this for his whole life.
"well you see I came to come retrieve the items I need for my new invention after my robots failed me the other day. because of some red headed lunatic stopped them!" he said very frustrated
"hey! I'm not a lunatic!" knuckles yell out thinking he was talking about him.
"he didn't mean you knuckles." amy assured him.
I walked out of the group and walk towards my new enemy.
"you mean me?" I asked him
he looked at me and started frown angrily to finally know who cause his plan to be stopped.
"so you are the one who cause the trouble for me the other day!" he shouted at me.
"yeah I taught your tincans some manners when they couldn't respect the folks around here." I said to him.
"well then I hope you're ready for round two! robots! attack!"
he pointed at me while his robots were charging at me.
I tackled the first robot and started to punch his face but it didn't seemed to faze him. he punch me and sent me flying in the air into the Meh burger stand and I crash right through it.
"damn...this was my favorite spot to eat." I said while getting up.
I then saw my friends weren't happy for their new crew member to fly like superman and started attacking the robots very skillfully with no trouble. they sure make it look easy. then i noticed my new enemy escaping from the scene and flying away.
"oh no you don't." I said while mad when his robot made me crash into my favorite spot to eat. I jumped on a roof of a store and use my grapple gun. it hooked on and I was removed from the ground instantly
my friends noticed me and called out to me.
but it was hard to understand them while flying very fast and very high from the ground. I started to climb on the rope of my grapple gun and finally made it to the cockpit of the vehicle. then out of nowhere I was hit the face and almost lost my grip of the rope.
"you think you can take me down applehead!?" he yelled at me while trying to punch me again.
"yeah! it's just me and you bud!" I dodge his punch and jumped into the cockpit and started fighting him. he landed a few punches (which is good for a guy who looks like he barely does exercise)
I then got the upper hand and pin him to the side of the vehicle with my forearm around his neck and started to hit his face repeatedly. he pulled out a button and pressed it which boosted me out of his vehicle and I was falling in the air while hearing his evil laughter for his "victory" of the battle between me and him.
"shit...should've brought parachutes." i said to myself while trying find a way to break my fall.
I then saw a yellow figure flying towards me. I recognize that it was tails and he grabbed both of my hands and was flying me to safety. I was surprised and yelled out to him.
"YOU CAN FLY!?" I said while not believing my eyes.
"these tails aren't for show" he said while trying not to laugh because of my reaction.
"now that's cool!" I said praising him.
"that's what sonic said." he said smiling.
after our flying trip he finally landed into back into the village and the gang.
"are you alright!?" amy asked me very worriedly
"I'm fine. but he got away." I told her while pissed at the fact that my new enemy got away.
"well that's eggman for ya" sonic said to me.
"what about the robots?" I asked them.
all of the them turn around to see sticks yelling while using a robot leg beating a robot with it.
"ok then...never mind." I said satisfied with the answer to my question.
"I noticed eggman was carrying some bag while getting away." knuckles told all of us.
"yeah...I don't what his plan is but we should be prepared for whatever it is." sonic told us.
"yeah I'm with you. let's head back to base" tails said to us.
all of us then started walking back to base while knuckles grab sticks while she was still yelling while trying to hit the robot again.
I then stopped at my tracks to look up to the sky behind me where eggman got away.
the gang stop and noticed me not following them. sonic grabbed my shouder and said.
"hey don't beat yourself up about it. we'll get him next time. as a team." I said thanks and continued walking with the gang again while trying to think what that bastard has plan for us...
