Now HERE is where I get into some action! So get ready for this chapter. Again, I don't own Sonic or Sega. If I did, well, I have no idea what I would do.
Chapter 6: Dr. Eggman
For the rest of the day, Sonic and Tails help me through the basic of how to control my speed. I learned how to stop, quick step, homing attack, jumping high than I ever thought possibly, and a lot of other things. I thought it would take me forever to learn this stuff. But, for some reason, it didn't. I quickly learned how to master it and I was surprised that I did. I guess it came naturally to me. Or maybe it's because of these inhibiter rings that Shahra gave me. I thought. Shahra said that these rings would give me super speed. It might also somehow help me use and control it.
After the final training session, Sonic, Tails and I were back inside the garage. "That was sweet, Austin. I didn't think you would learn that fast." Sonic said.
"Yeah, Austin. That was amazing! It was almost as if you knew this stuff already, but didn't know how to do it or use It." said Tails.
I smiled and started to scratch my head. "Yeah, I'm surprised myself. Still, without you guys to helping me out, I don't think I would ever know to use my new found power. Thanks, you guys. For helping me out." I held my hand up high.
Sonic and Tails smiled. "Right on!" Sonic and I jumped and we high fived, same with Tails.
Just then, the ground shook and in the distance, a massive explosion was heard. "What was that?" I asked, bewildered.
"It's probably Eggman, again. He never knows when to quit. Does he, Tails?" Sonic said, turning to his two-tailed friend.
"Nope, he never learns. Anyway, we better get over there and stop him." Said Tails. He headed for the X-tornado and started it up.
"Hey guys, mind if I tag along?" I asked.
Tails looked at me. "Are you sure about this, Austin. Eggman is not someone to be messed with. This is dangerous."
I know it's dangerous, but hey, two speedy hedgehogs against one evil genius are better odds. Don't you think, Sonic?" I said, turning to the blue hedgehog.
He started to think again and he said. "Alright, Austin. You can come along. Just be careful, okay?"
I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "You got it, Sonic. Now, let's get old egghead!"We both jumped in the X-tornado and were off to stop eggman from doing whatever he's doing.
In another part of station square, a huge robot was stomping around, creating chaos as he was looking for something. The robot was red with two pairs of chain gun arms on it. The one controlling was none other than Dr. Eggman.
"Ohhh ho ho ho ho ho! I am enjoying this. I haven't had this much fun since…ummmmmm." Eggman couldn't really think about it right now and he snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh, forget about it. I need to focus on finding Amy. With her as my captive, I will be able to lure Sonic here and get rid of that pesky hedgehog for good. Oh ho ho ho ho ho!" eggman laughed hysterically. He continued his rampage through the city until he found a certain pink hedgehog in the middle of a huge mall.
"Ah ha! There you are!" eggman made a quick grab for her, but she dodged it and took out her hammer.
"I don't think so, eggman!" she charged at him and attempt to swing at him. But, the robot side-stepped and made Amy fall to the ground. Eggman laughed and out came from one of his chain gun arms, five metal fingers in the form of a hand. He launched it at Amy and it grabbed her. The hand came back as Eggman laughed in triumph.
"You won't get away with this, Eggman! Sonic will come save me and you will be sorry!" she said as she was struggling against the robot metal hand.
Eggman just stared at her. "As a matter of fact, I know Sonic will come for you and when he does, it will be his end!" Eggman continued to laugh as he was moving his robot out of the mall, with Amy in his grasp.
"Were almost there, you guys!" Said Tails as we neared to where the explosion came from. Tails made a quick landing near the wreckage so that me and Sonic could check it out while Tails would keep an eye out from the air.
As me and Sonic searched the rubble, I came across a lying on a piece rubble. I grabbed it and what it said made my blood broil.
Sonic the hedgehog,
If you want to see your precious girlfriend again, meet me at the outskirts of station square ASAP.
Failing to do so will leave me no choice but to kill your little girlfriend.
You have one hour to meet me here and remember Sonic, alone.
Dr. Eggman.
I grunted at this. "Eggbutt's going to pay for this." I mutter. Sonic came up behind me saying, "Found anything, Austin?"
I gave him the note and he had that same expression on his face as I had. He growled and crumpled the note and threw it in the rubble behind him. "Eggman is really asking for it this time. Come on, Austin let's head over there."
I nodded and we headed for outskirts of station square, where eggman was waiting.
When me and Sonic got outside of station square, we decided to go a bit slow so that we can devise a way to get Amy back. Me and Sonic spotted some lights in the distance and we hid in some nearby bushes. I took out a pair of electronic binoculars, something Tails gave me before where came here, and looked to see where Amy was. There were a few dozen robots, some with swords and shields, some with guns, and other with just their bare fists. Amy was being held in a cage suspended above eggman, who was still in his large red robot.
"What do see?" Sonic asked quietly.
"Well, there are a dozen robots down there. Amy is in a cage suspended above Eggman. And it looks like the doctors getting impatient." I said.
Sonic nodded and asked. "Got any good ideas?"
I started to think for a moment and said. "I will distract Eggman and his robots while you go behind them and get Amy out of the cage."
Sonic pondered on this for a moment and said "okay, you be careful Austin."
I smiled at him and winked. "No worries."
I got out from behind the bushes and started to walk slowly towards Eggman.
Eggman was getting irritated. It had been almost 55 minutes since he left that note for Sonic. He was sure he would be here. So far though, the blue hedgehog had not shown up. Eggman believed Sonic would never leave Amy behind. But then again, the hedgehog was unpredictable. He growled having to wait on that hedgehog. "Where is he? I thought for sure he would be here by now!" just then, in the distance, a shadowy figure in the form of a hedgehog was walking slowly towards Eggman. "So, you finally made it, Sonic. I thought for sure you wouldn't show up, you pesky little-" he stop in mid sentence as the hedgehog came into the light. It wasn't Sonic, but a green hedgehog.
When Amy saw me, she was shocked. "Austin? What are you doing here?" she asked.
I looked up at Amy. "I came here to save you, of course.
Eggman looked at me in bewilderment. "Wait, if you're not Sonic, Then who are you?"
I looked back at the doctor. "The name's Austin. You must be Eggman." I smiled. "You're shorter than I expected. What with the long mustache and the big round belly. I don't know if anyone can call you a super genius." I laughed a little.
"Don't you dare make fun of me, you little rodent! So, you're a friend of Sonic, eh? It doesn't look like you are much of a challenge. I doubt you can even beat me, unlike Sonic." He laughed at me.
I still kept my smile and said "never judge someone by appearances, Eggbutt. You know what; I got a better name for you. How about I call you baldy nosehair? I think that it suits you!" I started laughing really hard and fell to the ground, holding my stomach and kicking my legs.
Eggman was getting really, really mad at this. He grunted his teeth and growled. "I'll show you what happens when someone makes a mockery of me!" he raised one of his chain gun arms and slammed it down on me.
"Austin!" shouted Amy.
"Hah! Take that, you little brat!" he raised back the arm and found nothing there. "WHAT?" he shouted and looked around franticly for me.
I whistled and Eggman turned his head toward me. I was standing on the top of one of his robots. I waved my finger at him. "T-t-t-t. Like I said, Eggman. Never judge someone by appearance."
Eggman growled and raised his right chain gun arm and fired at me. I jumped off the robot before it was blasted to smithereens.
(What I'm made of by Crush 40)
I landed back in front of Eggman. "So, you want a fight, Eggbutt? Then come on!" I was ready for some action.
Eggman turned to face me. "You will pay for messing with me, you little hedgehog!" he stomped his feet and raised his guns again. I rolled my eyes and went speeding through the robots, dodging the bullets that were trying to hit me
I don't care for what you're thinking
as you turn to me
Cause what I have in my two hands
Is enough to set me free.
(Set me free)
The robots were being blown to bits as Eggman was trying to hit me.
I can fight the feeling
To resist it overtime.
But when it's just too much to take
you sneak up from behind
I turned around to see that Eggman's robots were bits and pieces now. There was only me and Egghead left, about a half a mile apart. We turned to stare at each other.
Is it me?
You say ... you're looking for
Let me show you who I am and what I'm
Here for...Here for.
It felt like hours as we were standing there. Eggman looking angry, me smiling. Then at the speed of sound, I went straight for Eggman. Eggman fired again and I simply dodged the bullets from left to right.
Try to reach inside of me!
Try to gain my energy!
Let me show you just
What I'm made of!
I was about a foot away from Eggman. When got close, I slid under him as he was trying to pound me with his gun arm. I dodged it with ease.
Simple Curiosity!
Trying to take a bite of me!
Let me show you just
What I'm made of now!
When I got behind him, I launch a homing attack at him as he was turning around. I hit him straight on and he fell to the ground. I landed back on the ground smirking. "What, that all you got, baldly nosehair?" I laughed again.
Eggman got his robot up and he was mad! "I'll show you what I've got!" just then, Eggman's ship came into view and it dropped down more of his robots. He smiled and laughed. "Now, let's see if you can survive this!"
I shook my head and charged at them.
Like a million faces
I recognize them all
and one by one they've all become
a number as they fall!
(as they fall)
The robots were firing at me. I speed on through, hitting them with homing attacks and my own fast burning speed!
In the face of reason
I can't take no more!
One by one they've all become
a black mark on the floor!
The robots were falling apart, one by one. Bits and pieces scattered around. Then some big robots came in, baring huge fists.
Is it me?(is it me)
You say(you say) ... you're looking for
Let me show you who I am and what I
Have in store...in store.
I grinned. "This is it? Really? Man, this is too easy." I stretched and said. "Time to put these robots down!" I ran at full speed toward them.
Hey!Hey! Yeah!
Try to reach inside of me!
Try to gain my energy!
Let me show you just
What I'm made of!
The first robot came at me. He swings his fist down on me. But I was too fast for it. I slid under it right before it hit me. I zipped around it a few times, making it dizzy, until it fell down.
Simple Curiosity!
Trying to take a bite of me!
Let me show you just
What I'm made of now!
I stopped and turned around. All the robots were scrap metal. "Heh, that was easy." Suddenly, a huge metal hand grabbed me from behind. I turned to see Eggman's face staring at me.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Thought you seen the last of me, did you? Well, you haven't! Now that I have you, I will crush you!"
He started squeezing his metal hand on me. I tried to break out of his grip, but to no avail. It hurt a lot. It was like being in a room with no air to breathe in.
You can take another lifelong try!
You can take another try!
Suddenly, a blue blur broke Eggman's hold on me. I fell to the ground, holding my stomach. Sonic landed right beside and asked "you alright?"
I looked and grinned. "Never better, Sonic." I got up and saw Eggman getting up again. "Oh come on now, Eggbutt. Don't you know when to quit?"
"I will never quit! Not until I get rid of Sonic and rule the world!" he pointed his guns at us. "I will destroy both of you, here and now!"
Sonic grinned and rubbed his nose saying "well, now that Austin has taking care of your robots, we can get down to the real fight."
"Yep, now it's just us against you, Eggman. The last one standing will be the winner!" I said rubbing my nose too.
Eggman then fired missiles from his back and they were heading right for us. Me and Sonic spilt up and ran in two different directions as we both headed right for Eggman.
Try to reach inside of me!
Try to gain my energy!
Let me show you just
What I'm made of!
Eggman was firing his guns at us as me and Sonic were running, dodging the missiles and bullets along the way. When I was close enough, launched a homing attack at Eggman. The attack sends him flying in Sonic's direction. Sonic curled into a ball and used another homing attack on Eggman.
Simple Curiosity!
Trying to take a bite of me!
Let me show you just
What I'm made of now!
The attack sends Eggman even higher and we watched as he fell to the ground. The robot had bits and dents on it, but it wasn't down just yet. Eggman got up again but this time, the robot could hardly stand. "N-N-No! Not again! I won't lose to you again, Sonic! YOU HEAR ME? I WON'T LOSE TO YOU!"
Sonic just yawned and said "yeah, yeah. You keep saying that every time. But, no matter how many times you tried, you always get beaten."
"Sonic's right about that. No matter what kind of so-called "diabolical scheme" you come with, Sonic will always foil your plans and leave you in the dust" I said.
Just then, the X-tornado came flying over us with Tails riding it. "Sonic! Austin! Use this!" he then launched two gold rings for us. Sonic caught one and I got the other.
"You ready to finish this, Austin?" Asked Sonic
I looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, let's to do to it!"
Me and Sonic squeezed the rings and we both felt an acceleration of power running through us. Sonic jumped and used another homing attack on Eggman. Eggman quickly ejected his flying little eggship just before it hit him along with his robot. It exploded and Eggman was trying to get away. But, when Eggman turned around, he saw a green ball heading straight for him.
Try to reach inside of me!
(Let me show you what I'm Made of!)
Try to gain my energy!
(Let me show you what I'm Made of!)
Let me show you just
WHAT I'M MADE OF!
Eggman was sent flying screaming "I HATE THOSE !"
I dropped down to the ground down, dusting myself off. Sonic came rushing toward me. "Nice shot, Austin! We sure taught Eggman a thing or two!" he said, giving me a thumbs up.
I smiled and thumbed up too. "Thanks, Sonic! That should show "baldly nosehair" not to mess with the two of us." I laughed saying that again.
Sonic laughed too. "baldly nosehair? That's the best thing I heard all day. I gotta remember that one."
"Yeah, I always wanted to say that to his face." I looked at the horizon and said. "By the way, did you Amy out of the cage?"
Sonic looked at me with a strange look. "Well… I kind of forgot about getting her out of the cage. I was too busy watching you fighting Eggman."
I stared at him, wide-eyed with bewilderment "YOU WHAT? We better get over there before-"
Before I could finish however, there was shouting coming from behind us. A very angry Amy rose was coming at us, her hammer held high.
"Sonic! Where were you? I was being hold up in that cage for a long time waiting for you and you never came! I had to break out of it myself! I am so mad at you for this! You are going to pay for this, Sonic the hedgehog!"
Sonic put his hands in the air as he was backing away. I fell to the ground and tried to get away, not wanting to face Amy's wrath. Amy then turned to me and suddenly, she was her sweet and cheerful self again.
I got up slowly, wondering what happened. She said to me "I'm not mad at you, Austin. After all, you did save me from Eggman." She then hugged me saying "thank you for saving me, Austin. You're a really good friend."
I smiled and blushed a little. I was a little embarrassed by this, but I didn't mind. As Amy let go of me, she turned to Sonic and said "As for you!" she was now burning with angry again and she charged at Sonic with her hammer.
Sonic made a run for it and Amy gave chase. She almost got him a few times, but he got away, barely. He then shouted at me saying "Austin, can you do anything to stop her?"
I was laughing my head off watching those two run around. I shouted back at Sonic saying "Sorry Sonic, but I don't get involve in fights I can't win. You're on your own."
I continued to laugh as Sonic was being chased by an angry Amy Rose. Some things never change. I thought as I continued laughing at Sonic and Amy.
Whew! This is the longest chapter I have ever done. I thought it would be cool to put what I'm made of in this chapter, since this was my first time battling against Eggman. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter. I put a lot of effort to it. So please, leave a review telling if this chapter was great or something else. Until next time, catch you on the flipside!
