(Hey everyone, sorry I wasn't able to get this chapter done sooner… I was going to post it last month but I heard from a friend of mine in the Comic book store that… *Gasps in pain, placing his hand to his mouth, eyes squeezed shut* That…
*Sniffled* Archie Comics had stopped the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series…
*Began crying profusely.* And I found out Adam West passed away this weekend…
*The waterfall tears fills up the computer screen, where fish could be seen swimming across it before someone pulled the drain and the water rushed down it.* I'm sorry everyone, I just… I'm a huge fan of the batman actors and Adam West, he was amazing as Batman from the 60s. And I just don't understand why Archie Comics stopped their long running series of our Way Past Cool Hedgehog hero.

Now please Read, Review, and Enjoy)
It was night in the great city of Mobotropiles around the palace. Sally was sitting alone in her room with Bunnie next to her. Muttski rested his head on the princess' lap, whimpering for Sally's sadness. By her door stood King Max, concerned and confused by her daughter's sudden sadness. He entered her room and approached, "Sally? "
Sally sniffed as she continued to cry on her best friend's shoulder. King decided to sit down next to the two girls. Bunnie moved out of the way, motioning for Muttski to follow her out, allowing the king and his daughter to have some time alone. Max nodded appreciatively at them and addressing his daughter, "Tell me what's wrong."
The princess came close to her father. She, hugged him as she wailed, "Robotnik did something horrible."
The king sat next to his daughter and gently wiped the tears from her eyes, "There, there, Bean. Now tell me everything, especially what horrible thing Julian has done."
The next morning, in the cavern underneath the lake, Sonic began to groan before waking up, He found himself trapped by a metal like container which soon began to shift and open up to reveal that it was Tommy who caught and kept him and Tails safe until the danger had passed.
"You both okay?" Tommy asked, helping the two up.
"Yeah.." Sonic groaned.
Looking around, Tails asked, dazed, "What happened?"
After Tommy explained everything, the two thieves remembered and Sonic spat, "Why that no good… When I see him I'm gonna…"
He then let out a depressing sigh and muttered, "Whoever that guy was, he got away with the lamp…"
"You mean this lamp?" Tails asked, pulling out the lamp from inside his vest.
Sonic and Tommy stared in surprise. The blue thief smirked, "That's my best bud."
Sonic took the lamp and said, "What could he want with this? Sure it's like a big ruby but, I doubt he'd go through all this trouble just to get something to light the way."
"It is a lamp shaped ruby; maybe he'd use it to pay for anything he wanted, like a house or food." Tails said, studying the lamp.
Sonic then saw something on the lamp's side, telling his friends, "Hey! There's something written here."
"If only you could read it." Tommy pointed out as he began moving backwards. The two were too focused on the lamp to see Tommy's retreat.
"Yeah... Hey maybe I can wipe it away to read it." Sonic began to rub the lamp. Suddenly, the lamp began to shake and to shine. The mobians, minus Tommy, were terrified. Red smoke flew through Sonic, as a strange creature emerged from the smoke and screamed like if it was in pain. Then, the smoke disappeared, revealing a gigantic red furred Mobian Hedgehog that looked exactly like Sonic. Except that he had a blue sash like belt around his waist, pants connecting to the sneakers and had a golden looking bracelet on each wrist. Tails, taking a closer look found that they were actually manacles of some kind.
"Ten thousand years, and regaining a physical form, can give you such a huge crick in the neck! One second, sir." The Sonic look-a-like told them. He made them freeze as he pressed the pause button of a TV remote on them.
Next, he pulled his head on and turned it around before pulling his head down on his body, exclaiming, "AAAAHHHHH-OOoooohhhh! So much better!"
"Oh boy it's good to be back tonight, ladies and gents! And it seems we got a new player here with us, can you tell us your name sir?" The large magical creature asked, causing a microphone to appear and presenting it to the blue speedster.
"Uhh… Sonic the Hedgehog?" Sonic answered, unsure of what was happening right now.
"Sonic Hedgehog!" The red hedgehog repeated. A neon sign appeared with the Hedgehog's name.
"What a splendid name! I say, would you like to be called Son or Ic?" Then hedgehog asked, making the sign change each time the creature said a variation of Sonic's name.
"Or how about Sonny?" He turned into a red elderly hedgehog with a white mustache, and cane as he waved it about in the air, "HEY SONNY, STOP THAT DARN RACKET!"
After seeing this, Sonic rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I must be dreaming."
He had never seen anything like this before, especially from such as eccentric personality as the red hedgehog.
"Tell me, do you mind if I let out some steam?" the red hedgehog asked. Suddenly, he exploded into smoke, scaring Tails, who flew and hid behind Tommy.
"Sorry about that kiddo. Hey if it isn't mah shellman. Give me some scales homeboy." The genie said, after seeing Tommy there. Tommy, who knew the creature flew up with his wings and jetpack and exchanged a secret handshake between them.
Tails looked to the two of them, asking, "You two know each other?"
"Sure do, how do you think he got to stay here with all my stuff?" The genie asked before noticing something, and yelled in shock.
"Where's all my stuff?" He asked, referring to the treasure that was in the cavern. The two looked at each other confused and worried.
Before either of them could answer, the giant red hedgehog noticed something and remarked, "I say, you're a lot smaller than my last master, or I grown a few."
"Let me ask you, do I look different to you? Come on, tell me what do you think, Master?" The bizzare creature asked causing a full body mirror to appear. He looked at himself as if inspecting himself.
"Whoa, hold on! Are you saying that… I'm your master?" Sonic asked surprised.
"By George, I think he's got it!" Exclaimed the red hedgehog while giving a diploma, cap and gown of a college graduate to Sonic, who was still stunned by this.
"And now, Sonic, what do you want from me…" The red hedgehog asked before turning into a more muscular version of himself, "I'm the ever impressive…"
He made himself look as though he was in a semi small cube as he stretched against the walls, "The long contained…"
He appeared as a ventriloquist with a dummy, dressed in a gangster suit with a scar along his face, "The often imitated… See!"
The dummy disappeared and the red hedgehog hedgehog in his natural voice, "But never duplicated…"
While continuing saying 'duplicated', he multiplied into many copies of himself. Then, he took a ring announcer's position before announcing, "The. Genie. Of. The. Lamp!"
Then, he transformed himself into a comedian as the copies began clapping and cheering, "Right here from the lamp, we have a spectacular show for you and your wishes fulfillment. Thank you all!"
"Whoa… You're telling me, that you're a genie and I have wishes?" The blue speedy thief asked, more surprised by this.
"Three wishes precisely! And don't even try to wish for more wishes. It doesn't work like that." He said becoming a slot machine while his copies disappeared with the wave of his arms.
His arm lever when down as inside the window the slots showed three images of the genie, "Three is the only one you get."
Then three came out of the bottom of the machine, dressed as Mexican mariachi band members with sombreros, saying, "Uno, dos, tres."
The disappeared as the hedgehog, dressed as a Mobian Groucho Marx, continued, "No substitutions, exchanges or refunds."
A Mobian version of Harpo Marx appeared with a refunds sign in his hands.
"Okay, now I know I'm dreaming." Sonic said to Tails, causing the genie to turn around to the two of them.
"Master! I don't think you quite realize what you got here. So why don't you just ruminate, whilst I illuminate the possibilities!" Exclaimed the Genie. He placed Sonic and Tails on a rock while the red hedgehog grew to giant size and began lighting up like a fluorescent light before spinning himself around.
"Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves, Scheherazad-ie had a thousand tales" The genie began to sing, holding up the said forty thieves as if they were cards. They suddenly came to life and surrounded the two Mobians.
"Master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves!" The genie's head came from Sonic's vest while his arms replaced Sonic's, appearing large and muscular.
"You got a brand of magic never fails!" The genie then used these arms to knock away all the thieves.
Sonic, Tails, and Tommy appeared from a corner of a boxing wing as the genie appeared, dressed as a coach, Tails used his tails to cool Sonic off, while Tommy offered the champ a bottle of water, "You got some power in your corner now"
The red hedgehog then became a firework rocket and lit himself, "Some heavy ammunition in your camp"
As a firework, he whizzed around the three Mobians, scaring two out of the three, "You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how"
Next, he appeared above the lamp. The genie grabbed his blue counterpart's hand and made him rub the lamp, "See all you gotta do is rub that lamp-"
Along with the mystical vapors, the red hedgehog sang and flew out of the lamp's spout, "And I'll say"
"Mister Sonic, sir." He made himself look very ominous and god-like.
He summoned a table and some chairs for the three mortals. "What will your pleasure be?"
Then, he transformed himself into a waiter. He touched a notebook with a pencil that flashed the order in lightning. "Let me take your order, jot it down, You ain't never had a friend like me!"
He elbowed his master. Then, he elbowed the nanites infused turtle while laughing. Before summoning a lid covered dish, he placed it before the three of them.
When the genie removed the lid, Sonic looked in sheer delight as it was the Chillidog of Sonic's dreams, "Life is your restaurant-"
Suddenly, the chilidog became the Genie's face, "And I'm your maitre d'!"
He appeared normally as his ear began to grow larger to hear Sonic, "C'mon whisper what it is you want."
Then, he divide into four copies of himself and they each sang like an a cappella group,
"You ain't-"
"-never had-"
"-a friend-"
"-like me!"
Then all four chanted, "Whoo-ah! YES SIR!"
The four red copies began working on Sonic, giving his quills a trim, his fingers a manicure, a shave, and polishing his sneakers, "we pride ourselves on service."
They disappeared as Sonic found himself on a throne made just for him. He was being fanned by both Tails and Tommy, while the genie sang, "You're the boss, the king, the shah!"
The red genie appeared behind Sonic's throne and made himself big enough to lean over it. He summoned a table with a buffet of food for the hedgehog to eat he sang, "Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish."
He took Sonic's Fez. Then, a huge pile of desserts fell from the hat. "How 'bout a little more baklava!"
Sonic then appeared on a plate that was on top of a column with the letter 'A' on it.
"Have some of column 'A'"
Sonic jumped down on a column with the letter 'B' this time. the body of its pillar was made of various foods.
"Try all of column 'B'"
Sonic jumped off and fell to a cushion that was summoned and held by his new genie.
"I'm in the mood to help you, dude"
The red furred genie opened his mouth wide, with his tongue becoming stairs. Then, a smaller version of the genie hedgehog appeared the mouth, wearing a white tuxedo, with top hat and cane in hand, dancing down the steps, "You ain't never had a friend like me!"
He began dancing with giant, autonomous versions of his hands. The left hand began with a, "Woawoa woa!"
"Oh! My!" The genie responded.
The right hand then went with, "Woawoa woa!"
"No! No!" The Genie replied
Both hands then went, "Woawoa woa!"
"Nana! Na!" The Genie said, moving synchronized with the hands.
He did some dance positions before the hands crushed him. Then, he reappeared, holding his head in one hand, asking, "Can your friends do this?"
With four copies of his own head, he juggled them, "Can your friends do that?"
He passed them to Sonic, who began juggling them with little trouble. Then, he threw them back to the red hedgehog. They went into his torso before merging into one head. The genie then grabbed Sonic's Fez and into it like a magic act, where he grabbed his own feet and pulled, spinning like a ring, his hand remained floating as he continued to spin, "Can your friends pull this-"
He turned himself into a Mobini rabbit, floating in the air as he asked, "Out their little hat?"
Then, he transformed into a dragon, shooting flames from his mouth, "Can your friends go, poof!"
His dragon fire solidified into three beautiful Mobian girls. The red hedgehog appeared, upside down as he was pointing down as if he was pointing upwards to the three Mobian girls, proclaiming, "Well, looky here! Ha! Ha!"
They danced, very intimately, around Sonic, who was surprised to see all of this. The red hedgehog began to dance a little tune whilst asking, "Can your friends go Abracadabra; let'er rip!"
He then grabbed his ears, ripping himself in half, Just as Sonic was getting used to these three girls dancing around him, the girls began to disappear one by one, with the genie asking, "And then make the sucker disappear?"
Sonic watched as the genie appeared floating over his hand, singing, his jaw going slack and his eyes bulging out, "So don't-cha sit there slack-jawed buggy-eyed."
"I'm here to answer all your midday prayers" The genie sang, on his knees and looked like he was praying, while walking to the tips of Sonic's fingers. He dove from the speedster's hands as though they were a diving board. The ground around him became water on impact.
"You got me bona fide certified" He reappeared as a certificate, singing. Sonic grabbed the bottom of the scroll, causing the blue hedgehog to get rolled up in it like a screen on a window.
"You got a genie for your charge d'affaires." He sang, popping his head out with an arm as he opened the scroll causing Sonic to spin around and out of it dizzy.
"I got a powerful urge to help you out." His oversized finger stopped Sonic from spinning as he appeared next to his master, his ear enlarging to make sure that he heard the wishes that the blue hedgehog wanted, pleading, "So what's yer wish? I really wanna know."
He soon took a very long roll of paper out of Sonic like it was from a register recite dispenser. "You got a list that's three miles long no doubt."
The genie then grew large again, rubbing the list against his rear telling his master in song, "Well, all you gotta do is rub like so. And Hoo-ooo!"
Then he cracked the list like a whip, Sonic standing in a spot light, people from all over bowing while three familiar arms were waving behind him. Sonic was basking in the attention before realizing what was behind him. The three girls from before danced away as the crowd poofed away, leaving one of the girls behind with the master of the lamp, with the genie still singing in the background, "Mister Sonic Hedgehog, sir, have a wish or two or three."
"I'm on the job," Sonic and the Mobian girl from before were about to kiss. The girl became the missing genie, in his gigantic size, surprising Sonic greatly. The genie, in humor, batted his conjured eye lashes, "You big nabob."
"You ain't never had a friend" While still singing, the genie then, with a bolt of magic from his finger, made dancing elephants appear, "Never had a friend,"
"You ain't never had a friend" With Sonic aiming the genie's pointing finger for him, the genie made belly dancing camels appear. "Never had a friend, you ain't"
"Never…" Conjuring preforming swordsmen,
"Had a…" Conjuring a rock and roll band in the center of it,
"Friend…" A very sporting race car with Sonic's paint job on it,
"Like…" while on the other side, on a secluded stage were the three Mobian girls, giggling as they appeared.
"MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" a neon light outlining of a palace appeared and fireworks went off. Everything the genie had just summoned began dancing like it was a Las Vegas or Broadway show.
Tommy danced with the camels. At first the red hedgehog began dancing like Adam West doing the "Batusi". The elephants tossed Sonic in the air with their trunks like a trampoline before catching him. Then the genie was dancing like Michael Jackson in his "Beat It" music video. Tails, of course, was shyly avoiding one of the dancing girls who wanted the boy genius to dance with them. Finally, the genie decided to end the song by spinning so fast that he became a twister, sucking everything he summoned with his magic, singing quickly, "You ain't never had a friend like me!"
The music ended as a neon 'Applause' sign appeared above the genie's head. Thomas was clapping excitedly after seeing his old friend's show.
"Well what'll be, master?" The red look-a-like asked, bowing, and checking his nails as though that whole thing was just showing off.
"So: I got three wishes and I can wish anything I can think of?" asked Sonic asked greatly interested.
"Heh heh! Actually, there are three kind of wishes that I can't do, because it's against DA RULES!" The genie answered, causing him to become six feet tall, wearing combat boots, pants, and a strap top, a small crown over his head and a large, star shaped staff in his hand. The star shined brightly, causing a very large book, entitled "Da Rules", appeared next to him. (AN: Yes, I did do a reference to Fairy Oddparents with Jorgan.)
"Okay… And those would be?" Sonic asked, raising a brow.
"Rule #1! I can't kill anybody. So that means no," The hedgehog explained, sitting down next to Sonic before disappearing and becoming a Mobian version of the Terminator as he said, "Asta la vista, rodent!"
He began firing the two laser rifles in his arms as the three mortals took cover. Once the smoke cleared, the genie returned to normal and blinked himself out of it, "Wow, what a light show!"
"Rule #2! I can't make people fall in love with anyone else." He said, snapping his fingers as all of the Sonic fangirls that're out there in the worlds stampeded and began to kiss the blue hero all over his face, shrieking in delight.
As the girls were crowding around and kissing Sonic, the genie was floating over them in the air, conjuring a magazine and a soda to drink. A second later, he was done and looking at his watch he gasped and snapped his fingers again, making the fan girls disappear. Sonic, who began to see the horrors of fans overcrowding him, let out a sigh of relief when it was over, even as the genie asked, "See what I mean, blue boy? It'd be like that."
"Rule #3!" He transformed into a zombified version of himself, laying down before slowly rising, causing everything to become dark and creepy, scaring all but Tommy who was rubbing his temple from a headache. The genie then said, "I can't bring people back from the dead. I hate those soulless things! PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME! I'M TOO YOUNG TO LIVE IN AN APOCALYPSE!"
After the over dramatic freak out about zombies, the genie calmed down and said, "And I hate doing it."
The three Mobians blinked before the two thieves looked up to the turtle who smiled sheepishly, shrugging in response.
"So, anything wish that's not related to those three, you got it." The genie said as he closed his eyes with his hands.
Sonic and Tails began to think of what to do about their current situation before Tails, looked up to his older friend, giving him a thumbs up. Sonic smirked back, and began to enact their plan of getting out of the cavern.
"Wait a sonic second… Rules? Like limitations? On wishes? Lame! An all-powerful genie who's too scared to bring people back from the dead? He's a fake!" The blue hedgehog, exclaimed, slapping his hand against his knee. Slowly, the genie removed his hands from his eyes, revealing angry eyes.
"I bet this genie's not even able to get us out of this cavern. Come on, Tails. We'll try to find another way out of here." Sonic said, leading them away from the genie, "Maybe we should even ask Tommy to use those way pass nanites powers of his to dig us a tunnel out of here."
Suddenly, the enormous red sneaker the size of a house, stomped down in front of them. They looked up and saw the genie standing there, and he wasn't amused.
"Excuse me? Are you looking at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you give me your physical form? And now you think I'm a fake after that entire song and display of my powers?!" The genie asked, his anger growing at his integrity and claims being insulted. The two thieves smiled satisfyingly to each other. It seemed that their plan is working. As the seconds passed, the red hedgehog became so angry his eyes began burning like the sun as he continued ranting, "I don't think so! No way!"
"You're getting your stink'n wishes so SIT! DOWN!" The genie roared. His face becoming demonic looking for extra effect, causing the cavern to shake around them.
The force of his outrage made Sonic and Tails bump into an old vintage biplane behind them, which was actually made by Tommy who used his nanites to make the old plane from the rocks around them. Tommy then merged with his creation to make the cockpit and seats grow large enough for three people. As soon as the two non-magical Mobians were seated in the airplane, the genie, dressed as a steward appeared on the top wing and said while multiplying his arms around the aircraft, "In case of emergency, you should know that the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here! Pretty much anywhere!"
He made Tails dress as a pilot as the genie used his magic to have it fly out of the cavern, through the ground and lake around them, "Keep your hands and other parts inside plane at all times because, wwweeeeee'rrrrrrreeeeeeee… OUTTA HERE!"
They got out of the Cavern of Chaos with a massive fiery trail behind them as they fly upwards and away from the lake. With the genie dressed up as a Pecos Bill from "Tall Tales" and yelled loudly, "YYEEE-HAAAA!"
(This OC of mine playing the Genie was made in honor of Robin Williams: who was ideal for the part of Genie.
I don't know if I mentioned this, but this story was inspired by Eesteka's Bugsladdin. Where I had the inspiration to
I was going to work on my OC a bit more but I needed to do this because of how much the death Adam West affected me as did the death of Robin Williams. I hope you all understand and like what I did.
Rest in Peace Adam West... We'll miss you greatly.)
