Chapter 10: Day 9: Aleena's Hidden Power. (Inspired by a now offline Deviantart work. Credit goes to the author. Also inspired by a art titled, "Love You Mom" by zeroa5raven and comments on it. Credit goes to her and the authors in the comments section.)
Sonic and Aleena were at home by themselves relaxing. Sonia and Manic had gone with Amy and Knuckles and Tails and Sticks on an exploration trip but would be back in a few days.
Sonic, who was laying on the couch in the living room, sighed and stretched his arms as he put them behind his head and laid back on a pillow, "This is the life. Just sitting here at home, nothing to do but kick back and relax and chill and watch some TV. Right, Mom?" he said to his mother who looked back at him with a smile from the chair she was sitting in,
"Yep, you got that right, Sonic." she said as she leaned back in her chair with a relaxed sigh.
Suddenly an emergency news bulletin came up on the news, "We interrupt this program to bring you an emergency broadcast." said the news reporter. This caught the two hedgehogs' attention and they looked at the TV.
"Dr. Eggman is attacking Station Square once again. Many panicked civilians are fleeing by foot. Citizens are advised to seek shelter and avoid Dr. Eggman if possible at all costs."
Sonic then jumped up from the couch, stretched and looked at his mom with a confident face, "Well, that's my cue, Mom, gotta run."
As he took off, he heard Aleena call after him, "Be careful, Sonic!"
"I will!" he called back. When he arrived at central Station Square he saw Eggman controlling a robot that looked a lot like the Egg Emperor but with a sword and claw.
"Hey, Egghead!" called Sonic tauntingly. The robot turned around.
Dr. Eggman, who was in the control seat, laughed maniacally, "Well, hello, Sonic. Come to get yourself annihilated?" asked Eggman.
"Not on your life, Eggman. I'd die of hunger from no chili dogs first." said Sonic confidently.
"Oh, that so? Well then, let's see you try to top this robot that'll end you once and for all, Sonic!" exclaimed the evil mad scientist.
"Heh, that's what you think, Eggy!" said Sonic as he launched a homing attack at the robot's head and successfully knocked it back. He then landed many more hits on the robot, while avoiding attacks, making it seem like it would be an easy victory.
"Game over, Eggman!" he said as he launched another homing attack only to get knocked away swiftly by the side of the sword straight into a building side.
"AH!" yelled Sonic as he stood back up and stood in a ready stance and watched in amazement as the robot healed itself.
"That was a lucky shot. It won't happen again." Sonic stated as he tried another homing attack only to be knocked back again, resulting in a couple of bruises, and this time, when he shot up, he got scratched by the sword in multiple places.
"AAAAAAAH!" screamed the weakened hedgehog as he fell and was grabbed by the claw.
"The robot was made to attack at a close range unexpectedly, and at a speed faster than you! I planned standing still just to catch you off guard. Also, I put an automatic repair circuit inside it as a bonus. Now I'll crush you like the weak little bug that you are, Sonic!" Eggman said as he pushed a button which instantly repaired the robot's broken pieces. Sonic screamed in excruciating pain as he was squeezed by the robot's claw while Dr. Eggman laughed maniacally.
Nearby, the news crew was recording the whole ordeal, "I can't believe my eyes, folks!" exclaimed the reporter, "Sonic, our beloved hero, is being beaten by Eggman right before our very eyes!"
Meanwhile, back at the castle, Aleena was watching her son getting beat and was saddened, "My poor Sonic. I wish there was some way I could help you." she said with tears in her eyes as she stared at the TV.
Then she had an idea, "A-HA! That's it!" she said as she ran to retrieve something. Meanwhile, back on the battlefield, the injured Sonic was screaming as he continued to get squished by the claw while getting cut by its sharpness at the same time.
"Now it's time to end this, and you Sonic!" claimed Dr. Eggman. But just as he was about to push the button that would make the claw electrocute Sonic, he suddenly saw a bright yellow flash in the sky. Both he and Sonic, before he lost consciousness, looked up at the flash, then all of a sudden, Sonic vanished right out of the claw.
"What the?!" asked Eggman in confusion and astonishment, "What happened?!"
"I happened, that's what, Egghead!" said a familiar voice.
"Huh?" The puzzled mad doctor looked around until he saw something hovering nearby that filled him with shock.
"N-N-N-NO-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT CAN'T BE!" he screamed in anger. He saw Aleena, but she was no longer her normal self. Her fur was golden, her gray eyes had turned red, and she was emitting a golden glowing aura. She was Amazing Aleena! She had the unconscious Sonic in her arms.
She looked down at him, "It's okay, Sonic, I'll take care of you. Everything's gonna be all right, I promise." she said as she gave him a kiss on the forehead. Eggman watched in horror as Sonic started glowing, levitated into the air beside Aleena, became fully healed, and then became Super Sonic.
Super Sonic's consciousness kicked in as he opened his eyes to see he was floating in mid-air, "What the?" he asked in surprise. He then felt somebody tap his shoulder.
He turned around and who he saw made his eyes widen, "M-Mom?!" he said in shock.
Amazing Aleena smiled and nodded at him, "I thought you might could use my help."
Super Sonic smiled and looked down at the enraged Dr. Eggman, who was staring at the super mother-son duo, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! HOW COULD IT BE?!" he screamed in pure anger and rage.
"Sonic, what do you say we finish this?" asked Amazing Aleena with a confident smirk.
Super Sonic gave her a thumbs-up, "Let's do it, Mom!" he said with determination.
The two super-hedgehogs then joined hands and sped toward the robot in a golden burst of light, "TAKE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!" screamed Dr. Eggman as he pushed a button that caused the center of the robot to open up and fire a massive laser at the two hedgehogs, but it did no harm at all to the two hedgehogs who shot straight through the core, causing the robot to start sparking and then explode, sending Dr. Eggman flying.
"I'LL BE BAAAAAAAAACK!" he yelled as he flew off.
"Come back anytime, we'll be glad to beat you!" called Amazing Aleena tauntingly before she was hugged by Super Sonic.
"I owe ya big time, Mom. You saved my life."
Amazing Aleena smiled and hugged him back, "Anytime, sweetie, anytime." she said.
"I didn't know you had a super form." Super Sonic said as they released their hug.
Amazing Aleena flexed her arms and chuckled, "Sonic, there's a lot of things about me you don't know." she said before they both flew back home and returned to normal. Sonic then ran into his room while Aleena started to fix dinner.
A few minutes later, Sonic came out of his room, "Mom, come here, I've painted you something." he said.
"Really? What is it?" she asked as she followed Sonic to his bedroom.
"You'll see." he said as he opened the door to his room and walked over to his paint board.
"Close your eyes, Mom, it's a surprise." he told Aleena.
"OK." she said as she covered her eyes and walked in.
Sonic then threw the cover off his painting, "Okay, Mom, you can open your eyes now." Sonic said. When Aleena opened her eyes, she gasped at what she saw. In big cobalt letters at the top of the picture was "YOU'RE MY HERO" and below was a picture of her as Amazing Aleena holding Super Sonic in a hug, with Super Sonic's arms around her neck, and below it in big purple letters was "I LOVE YOU MOM".
"Whatcha think, Mom? Hope ya like it." said Sonic with a smile.
Aleena looked at Sonic with tears of happiness in her eyes, "I love it. As much as I love you." she said with a big smile.
Sonic smiled, "Hey, Mom, hold out your arms." he said.
Aleena held out her arms, "OK, but why?" she asked with a puzzled look.
"Catch." said Sonic as he jumped into the air and then into his mother's arms.
"Oh!" said Aleena in surprise before Sonic wrapped his arms around her neck and started nuzzling into her neck.
"I love you, Mom. You are and forever will be my hero."
Aleena smiled and started kissing his forehead repeatedly, "I love you too, Sonic. You're my hero too." she said as she started nuzzling his forehead, "My cute little hero hedgehog."
