While driving, things were mostly silent cause things were calm. However, at some point, SSonic finally spoke.
"So, what's on your bucket list?" Sonic asked
"Me?" Jaune asked
"Yeah." Sonic replies. "We all have a bucket list."
"I mean, you are right, but, well, you're the one leaving the planet." Jaune states. "And I don't intend on dieing anytime soon."
"Don't be so sure, with me around, I am a danger magnet." Sonic comments, looking out the window
Jaune chuckled a little.
"I guess you have a point." Jaune states. "Well, one thing on my bucket list worth noting is that, in Green Hills, i've always felt more like a babysitter more than a real cop, tou know? So, my wife and I are gonna move to San Francisco, and i'm gonna become a street op an...I don't know, see if I have what it takes."
When Jaune looked back at Sonic, Sonic was making a sort of 'what-the-hell-did-you-just-say?' face.
"What's up with your face?" Jaune asked
"You're LEAVING Green Hills?!" Sonic snapped. "Why? Why would you do that?"
"This may be hard for you to understand, but Green Hills is a small town, it's a very small town." Jaune replied
"It's not small, there are hundreds of citizens!" Sonic responded
"That's a small town, dude." Jaune quickly responds
"It's a perfect town, and the people need you!" Sonic lashes out
"Oh, please, I clean up their yards, clean out their gutters, and jump-start their cars in the winter." Jaune states. "They could call literally anybody to do that."
"Sure, they could call anybody to do that, but they don't." Sonic responds. "They call you."
Meanwhile,. in his Bullhead somewhere after having it change shape into a truck, Robotnik walked up to the two keypads that can control practically all of his tech. He then pushed a button on one of the pas and saw a series of holograms he could use to get Jaune and Sonic into his clutches.
"Hm...Eenie Meeny Miney...Mayhem." Robotnik said a he selected the hologram of some sort of tank
Back with Sonic and Jaune, they were in the middle of their argument.
"Would you calm down?!" Jaune snapped
"You live from a great town, with great people, and by my count of my time here in Vale, ZERO BAD GUYS TRYING TO KILL YOU!" Sonic states, fully aware of the Salem incidents, Longclaw having mentioned they were the main reason Sonic had been hidden with her on a hidden island. "Besides, what could POSSIBLY be more important than protecting the people you care about?"
Before Jaune could really say anything, a harpoon from the tank that he just noticed in his side mirror shot through the back windshield and got stuck in the dash So, Jaune tried to get it unstuck by steering around.
"You know what? I was wrong about you! You aren't the Doughnut Lord at all!" Sonic snaps. "You're more like...The JERK Lord!"
"Have you noticed the harpoon stuck in our dash!?" Jaune quickly questioned
While trying to get the harpoon unstuck, Jaune ended up hitting a side railing and Sonic flew out onto the hood of the truck as the emerald on his little necklace glows for a second and he sparked a little with the blue electricity.
"Sonic!" Jaune called out
"I was FORCED from my home. Your home is perfect and you're leaving it. Why would you do that?!" Sonic questioned
"Your body!" Jaune added
Sonic looked at himself and said, "No, no, no, no, no, not again!"
"Hold on!" Jaune says
"Why?!" Sonic asked
Jaune then hit the breaks on the truck, which flung Sonic into the air, off of the truck and he curled up into a ball, this being possible, once again, since he IS a hedgehog Faunus and he rammed right into a white and black tank, making it fall to it's side on the road.
Jaune then turned the truck around and looked at the wreckage as he saw Sonic curled up in a ball and no longer sparking.
"Sonic, are you alright?" Jaune asked, genuinely concerned about the speedy blue Faunus
Sonic uncurled and got up, clearly dazed.
"Guess I had a bonus life." Sonic comments, still dazed but quickly snapped out his daze and smirked when seeing the wreckage of the tank and break-dancing a little. "Oh, yeah, baby! Sonic 1, Big tank 0! I'm sorry did we get that on camera?"
"How are you not dead?!" Jaune asked
"I have no idea!" Sonic answers, not sure how he's alive either. "Did you see me dancing?"
"Yeah, I saw you dancing." Jaune replied
Sonic then looked at the tank and scoffed, "Is that all you got?"
"No, but thank you for asking." Robotnik's voice replied, coming over the speakers of the tank
Just then, some gear shifting was heard in the tank.
"Uh-oh." Sonic stated
"Sonic...get back in the truck!" Jaune said as he turned the truck to drive off
"You go, I'll catch up!" Sonic said
Jaune then drove off. So Sonic ran and got back in through the passenger side window.
Just then, a smaller vehicle came out of the wreckage of the tank and raced after them.
"I think that tank just had a baby." Sonic comments
The strange vehicle shot out some EMP discs but completely missed the truck. Sonic then clibs out and hangs off the back of the truck.
"Where are you going?" Jaune asked
"Just drive the car, i'll take care of this." Sonic replied. "And if I don't make it, just ditch me, you seem good at that."
Sonic then hopped off and ran along the road as three more EMP discs were shot out. Sonic rode on two of them as he grabbed the third one. He then hops up, causing the two he was on to crash into each other as he lands on top of the strange vehicle and looked at the lense Robotnik could see through.
"Hey everyone, welcome back to my live stream. Today, we're destroying robots." Sonic said, holding up the EMP disc. "Step 1."
Sonic slammed the EMP disc onto the vehicle then jumped down to the road and ran back to the truck as it crashed on the side of the road as Sonic got back into the truck.
"We did it!" Sonic exclaimed
Out of pure spite, another drone came out, this time that was on one wheel as it chased after them.
"We did not do it." Sonic says. "Who is this guy?"
"Ever wonder where your tax Lien are going?"Robotnik's voice stated, coming over the drone's speaker
Jaune climbed into the back seat as Sonic got into the driver's seat.
"Just keep the truck going straight." Jaune orders as he pulled out his sword from the back of the truck and went to hit the drone
Jaune opened the back passenger door that was on the same side as the one wheeled drone. He kept swinging but just barely misses each time. He took a deep breath and made one big upper-cut like swing and managed to cause the drone to take severe damage and fall over.
"Yeah! Whoo!" Jaune exclaimed as he gets back in the truck
Back in his Bullhead, Robotnik wasn't very happy about the several successful escape attempts the two had made.
"Ugh! Give me a big. Fat. BREAK!" Robotnik shouts
Back at the crash site of the one wheeled drone, a smaller done pops out and chased after the two, flying up to the passenger side window.
"Aw...this one's cute, let's keep him." Sonic said, chuckling
Just then, the drone started cutting around the top of the truck, making Sonic jump a little.
"Oh, come on!" Jaune snapped
"How can something so adorable be so terrible?" Sonic questioned
When it was mere seconds away from making a full circle, Sonic poked his head out of the passenger side window.
"You got car insurance, right?" Sonic asked
Just then, the top part of the truck went flying after being cut off, prompting Sonic and Ttom to both scream.
The drone then flies up to Sonic and aims at him.
"Buss off." Sonic says as he grabbed the drone and took off the spinning blades with ease
However, it started beeping as if this was it's plan.
"That isn't good." Sonic says, trying to throw the beeping and likely gonna self destruct drone only for it to not come off, being stuck to his hand
"No, beeping is bad, get rid of it!" Jaune shouts
"I'm trying!" Sonic replied as he tried to get it off of his hand but to no avail
"Throw it out the wind-throw it anywhere!" Jaune suggests
"I can't get it off!" Sonic clarifies
Jaune then pulled the truck into a small clearing and Sonic got out, running around the clearing trying to get the drone off. When it finally came off of his hand, it had stuck to his forehead even though he didn't notice at first.
"Did I get it?" Sonic asked
"No." Jaune said as he ran over with a napkin
Sonic tried to push it off, but Jaune picked it of with the napkin and threw it far, far away.
"It's going, it's going..." Sonic stated before seeing the drone was now stuck to Jaune's hand. "It's still here."
Jaune shook his hand, trying to get it off. Out of instinct, Sonic grabbed a stick, ran over to Jaune, grabbed the drone off of Jaune's hand and ran over to a rock, prying the drone off of his hand and onto a stick and setting the stick on the rock.
"Haha! Nailed it!" Sonic said, holding up a hand
ust then, it blew up, destroying the rock, and sending Sonic and Jaune flying back a bit. When the smoke cleared, Jaune got up and saw Sonic unconsious and ran over to him, checking various things like bones, his pulse, and his breathing.
"Come on, bud. Wake up." Jaune quietly pleads
Back in Robotnik's Bullhead, Stone was behind Robotnik as they both wait for the result of the explosion.
"Did we get them?" Stone asked before the display revealed the two were still intact and alive, Robotnik not being very happy."Oh, nope, there they are. Man, they are real survivors, those two."
Robotnik turned back to Stone and asked, "Can we have a moment?"
The two then walked to elsewhere in the Bullhead.
"Pin yourself to the wall." Robotnik ordered
Stone sighs and does so, Robotnik positioning as if he was pinning Stone to the wall.
"You know, I won't miss you when you're gone. Human beings and Faunus are un-reliable and stupid and I care very little about them." Robotnik scolds. "But my machines are diligant, relentless, THEY'RE EVERYTHING TO ME!"
Robotnik then noticed a blue glow in Stone's jacket, so he opened it a little and pulled out the quill, the quill glowing.
"面白い" Robotnik spoke in Japanese
Robotnik then touched the quill on his tongue which made his head jolt around a little bit. He then turned to Stone and offers him the quill to try putting in his mouth to taste.
