But, in my defense, I've been playing Smash Bros. Brawl, and… it's real hard to turn it off. The first day I got it, which was the day it came out, I played for ten hours straight, nonstop!
And p.s., if anyone else has the game, if you want to try me in a match, just message me and give me your friend code. I've been itching for a real challenge, even though no one really is against me…
But anyway, I just gotta say…Wow… this story is about under half as much as my first story and I already got about the same amount of reviews as the first story! This is cool!
Anyway, this chapter will be one of the longest yet. This chapter will finish of from the last one, and… that's it. Yeah, yeah, I said it was going to go into the next episode and blah blah blah…But I have been really busy,and that doesn't just mean the Smash Brothers game, so I haven't been really on the computer. So this was all I got to do… But, I can say this, I have been thinking about where this story is going to go, like how Zoran's character is going to show up, and even how the story's gonna end.
"The hell was that?"
Tyler and Angelique were already heading back towards the Blue Typhoon, when they saw the Meterax move across the sky and land by the Blue Typhoon. They each had two bags in each hand, and Tyler also had a backpack on.
"What's with the language? Can't you turn it down a notch?"
"So, I got to watch my language around Tails, Cream AND you?! Oh, that's just great! Okay, let me repeat my question, what the hell…o was that?" asked Tyler, taking a while saying the hell- part of hello.
"It looked like another Meterax," said Angelique, worried.
"Then I need to go stop it!" Tyler prepared to take off at full speed.
"What about your stuff?" asked Angelique. Tyler had started to take off, but he quickly tried to stop himself, making him fall flat on his face. He quickly stood up and grabbed the bags from Angelique.
"I'll take these to the Blue Typhoon first, and then I'll go after the Meterax. You go straight to the Blue Typhoon and wait there."
"Just be careful," she said.
Tyler started walking backwards. "Aren't I always?" Although, he wasn't watching where he was going, and tripped over a tree root, causing him to fall onto his back. Once again, he quickly got back up. "I meant to do that!" He turned around and sped off towards the Blue Typhoon. Angelique couldn't help but laugh, and she started her run to the Blue Typhoon.
The giant Meterax stood up from where it crash landed, and turned to the Blue Typhoon. It rose up its arms.
"Primary objective: Destroy enemy spacecraft!"
Lasers fired from the Meterax's fingers, just barely missing the Blue Typhoon.
"Adjusting firing error…"
The Meterax was about to fire again, when Sonic appeared out of no where and kicked the Meterax on the head. The Meterax took a few steps back from the blow. Suddenly, Knuckles, too, came flying at the Meterax, punching it into the ground. Sonic and Knuckles both landed side by side, and waited for the dust to clear. As it cleared, all that could be seen was the Meterax's hand, still sticking out of the ground. Suddenly, a giant sword appeared in its hand, as the Meterax jumped out of the ground and slashed at Sonic and Knuckles. They both dodged, as the sword swiped two trees, cutting them down.
"I don't think this guy's gonna be any easier than the last!" aid Knuckles.
"You're right, but we'll get him this time!"
The Meterax stood fully up. "It is useless to fight. You will never leave this planet alive!"
He raised his arms to attack Sonic and Knuckles, when something came from above and knocked the Meterax back to the ground. The Meterax was knocked onto its back, as the figure landed on its chest.
"Mind if I drop in?" asked Tyler.
"Bad pun, man…" said Sonic.
"Like you don't do those all the time?" asked Knuckles.
"Yeah, but when I do them, they're funny!"
Tyler went up to Sonic's face. "You saying I ain't funny?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying!"
Just then, the Meterax stood back up. "Prepare to be destroyed!" The Meterax swung its sword back, and swiped at the three. They all dodged it.
"Do you mind? We were trying to have a decent fight, here!" yelled Tyler.
"You want to fight, then fight me!"
"Bring it on, bitch!"
"What's with the language?" asked Sonic.
Tyler turned around to Sonic. "Oh, c'mon! I got to watch my language around Tails, Cream, and now Angelique, so you two are really the only ones I get to curse around!"
"Why can't you curse around Cream?" asked Sonic.
"Her mom caught me cussing, and she told me not to cuss around Cream."
"I don't see why he can't curse…" said Knuckles.
"Oh, sure, you wouldn't see any problem. You practically allow people to use the restroom with your potty-mouth!" said Sonic.
Knuckles raised a fist. "Well, you're about to have no mouth, because I'm bout to rip it off!"
The three started arguing between each other, while the Meterax just stood there and watched.
Back at the Blue Typhoon…
Tails was looking out of the window at the explosions, when Angelique entered the room.
"Angelique, what's going on? And where's Tyler?"
"A Meterax landed. Tyler went off to stop it."
"I guess we need to start to this thing up. But we need Knuckles to power up the Master Emerald!"
"We're leaving?" asked Amy, talking to her watch/communicator. It was Tails on the other end.
"Yes, but we need Knuckles to power up the Blue Typhoon. Would you mind finding him?"
Amy nodded as she closed her wristwatch. She turned to Cream, Kristen, and Cosmo. "Okay, we need to move fast! Cream, you go find Knuckles and tell him to get to the Blue Typhoon. Kristen and Cosmo, you come with me and help load the supplies."
"Why?" asked Kristen.
"Tails is ready to fire up the ship, but he needs Knuckles to power it up."
Back over with Tyler, Sonic, and Knuckles…
The three were still arguing, as the Meterax was growing impatient.
"ARGH, ENOUGH!"
The Meterax lunged at the trio, as they all dodged. Tyler and Sonic both landed on top of a tree.
"Hey, up here!" yelled Sonic.
Tyler pulled an eyelid and stuck out his tongue. "Miss me! Miss me! Please don't kiss me!"
The Meterax was about to attack them, when Knuckles came from behind, landing multiple blows on the Meterax's head. The Meterax was brought to its knees as Knuckles landed beside Tyler and Sonic. The Meterax remained motionless.
"Hey, I think I made it stop."
Suddenly, from the Meterax's chest, missiles appeared, ready to fire.
Tyler turned to Knuckles. "Just don't stand there. Make it stop again!" The missiles fired at the three, as they all maneuvered around them. They turned around to see that missiles weren't aimed for them, but for the Blue Typhoon.
"Oh my god, Tails!" yelled Tyler.
Back at the Blue Typhoon…
"Well, the radar system's up!" said Tails. Angelique was standing beside him when she pointed at some dots on the radar screen.
"What's that moving towards us?" They both turned to window as they saw the missiles approaching.
"Oh…" started Angelique.
"Crack," finished Tails.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard, as the missiles exploded one by one. Tails and Angelique looked around the outside, and saw Jerred was right outside, with his double-barrel shotgun in hand.
"Like shooting skeet… Except these are more fun to shoot!"
"It's Jerred!" exclaimed Tails.
"And right on time, it seems," came a voice from behind.
Tails and Angelique both turned around to see Muctarr standing by the door, with a soccer ball under his foot.
"We about ready to go?" he asked.
"Once Knuckles gets here, yeah!" said Tails.
Back with the Meterax…
The Meterax raised its arms again, firings lasers at the Blue Typhoon, barely missing again. Knuckles and Tyler came up to him and stood between him and the Blue Typhoon.
"You're not taking another step forward, unless you want something bad to happen to you!" yelled Knuckles.
The Meterax took only one step forward, just to push on Knuckles' nerves. "Try me."
Knuckles was about to launch at him, when suddenly, about a dozen missiles came out of no where and hit right on the Meterax, knocking him down to the ground. Both Tyler and Knuckles were just standing there, confused.
"Wow, how'd you do that?" asked Tyler.
"I didn't…"
Suddenly, six fighters flew by, as Tyler and Knuckles turned around to see where they came from. Tyler and Knuckles were in awe of what they saw.
"Holy battleship!" exclaimed Tyler.
Just coming from the horizon, was, exactly what Tyler said, a massive battleship. The battleship resembled Tails's Blue Typhoon, with a few differences. They were about to ask each other who's ship it was, until the Meterax came up behind them.
"You'll pay for that!"
Tyler held up his hands in protest. "Hey, don't look at us! We ain't packing fire power like that!"
Just then, Sonic appeared and attacked the Meterax, knocking it back. He land right beside Tyler and Knuckles.
"Hey, where'd you go?" asked Tyler.
"I thought we might need some help taking care of this thing, so I went and got Mavrik and his battleship to help us."
"So that's Mavrik's battleship?" asked Knuckles, pointing to the giant ship in the sky. "Kinda looks like the Blue Typhoon…"
"Wait a second," said Tyler. "Does this mean you don't think that we can handle this guy?"
"Why you always gotta start something? I mean, c'mon, what hell's wrong with you?" asked Sonic.
"Oh, so you can curse and I can't?"
"Yea, but no one ever hears me! Right, Knuckles?"
"Huh?" asked Knuckles, who wasn't paying attention. "You say something?"
"See?"
"KNUCKLES!" came a yell.
Everyone turned around to see Cream flying towards them.
"What's wrong?" yelled Knuckles.
"Tails needs you to power up the Master Emerald! Did you stop the Meterax, yet?"
Suddenly, the Meterax stood back up and swung its sword at Knuckles. He dodged as Sonic and Tyler both attacked it at the same time, knocking it to the ground.
"Go on, Knuckles. We got this!" yelled Sonic.
"Let's kick some metal-butt!" exclaimed Tyler.
Sonic was about to go, when he stopped. "Hey, you actually said butt!"
"Hello? Cream's right there!"
"I won't tell…" said Cream, innocently.
"Yeah, but Sonic might…"
Back at the Blue Typhoon…
Everyone, except for Tails and Muctarr, was helping pack the supplies aboard the Blue Typhoon. Everyone was able to carry about two bags each, except for Cosmo, who was carrying one at a time.
She was carrying one on when Amy walked over to her. "You know, Cosmo, maybe you should try carrying more than one bag…"
"Oh, okay." She turned around to go grab another bag, when Kristen tried to stop her.
"Wait, leave the bag you already brought!" Cosmo started to turn around again, causing to lose her balance and fall over.
Amy laughed. "Maybe you should take a break…"
Tails, who was up in the bridge, was typing in data into his computer. "Main engines are ready! Connecting to the Master Emerald… You ready down there?" he asked into the intercom.
"Yeah, we hear ya," said Muctarr, who was also typing stuff into the computer. He was in the engine room where the Master Emerald was kept. "Let 'er rip, Knuckles."
Knuckles, who was also in the room, went over the Master Emerald, and held his arms out, as if he was expecting a hug.
"The seven Chaos Emeralds are the servers. Our hearts intensify their power. The controllers serve to unify the chaos." The Master Emerald started to glow brightly. "We need your power to find the Chaos Emeralds!"
Muctarr grabbed onto a lever. "Ignition…" He pulled the lever, as the engine started up. "That should do it! This baby's ready to fly!"
At Cream's house…
Cream's mom was sitting in her chair, knitting away until the door opened, revealing Cream and Tyler.
"Alright, we're here… Now go ahead and ask her," said Tyler.
Cream walked up to Vanilla. "Mother, would it be alright if I went out into space with everybody?"
"You mean that nice ship that Tails built?" she asked. "Sure, sweetie, just don't touch any buttons! You too, young man!" she added turning to Tyler.
"What are you, my mother?"
Cream walked over to her mom and gave her a hug. "Thank you Mother." She then happily ran out of the room as Tyler started to follow.
"Oh, and Tyler…"
Tyler stopped dead in his tracks, as he slowly turned around to Vanilla. "Yes… m'am?"
"Be sure not to curse around my Cream."
"Wh-… Wh-Who me? Noooo… I mean… I would never… I-I gotta go!" He quickly ran out the door.
Sonic doing all he could to make sure that the Meterax wouldn't get to the Blue Typhoon.
He was by himself, except for the six fighters from the Beowulf, whose help was in handy.
"Hurry it up, guys!" As if they heard him, the ground started to rumble, as his attention, and the Meterax's, turned to the Blue Typhoon. It was suddenly being raised from the ground taking off.
The Meterax loaded some missiles unto its chest. "You will not leave!" He fired, as the missiles headed straight for the rising battleship.
"Hey! You're supposed to wait until I yell pull!" yelled Jerred, as he aimed his shotgun. He fired one shot for every missile, and hit every time. Sonic ran up to the Blue Typhoon and stood beside him.
"Nice shootin'!" said Sonic, giving him a high-five.
"I know."
Inside the bridge…
"If we can aim perfectly right at that Meterax, we should be able to stop it!" exclaimed Tails. He quickly noticed one of the six fighters flying by. "But they might get hit if they're not careful. Let's see if I can reach him…" Tails typed in controls into his computer, trying to call Mavrik aboard the Beowulf.
"Come in, Mavrik, do you read me?"
A giant screen came in front of Tails, showing the bridge of the Beowulf. On it was Mavrik, and at the controls behind him was an old, well built for his age fox, obviously, the captain.
"Yeah, we read you loud and clear. What do you need?"
"I need you to call back your fighters. I going to try something on the Meterax and I don't want any of your fighters to be hit by the blast. Plus, afterwards, we'll be heading straight into space so be sure to follow."
"Alright then. I'll call them in. See you in space."
"Thanks." The screen shut off as Tails began typing more controls into the Blue Typhoon. "Rerouting energy to the main cannon…"
Sonic watched from Blue Typhoon as the Beowulf fighters changed their direction back towards the Beowulf. Jerred was watching with him when Tyler flew down to their side.
"Where's Cream?" asked Sonic.
"I'm not her babysitter!"
"Yo, Sonic!" came Tails voice over the intercom. "We're going to use the main cannon to take out the Meterax. Stand by…" Suddenly, a large blue-yellow cannon came out of the main deck of the battleship. Sonic jumped inside the cannon and ran inside. Tyler and Jerred watched as Sonic got in, then their attention to the Meterax, which was bellowing in the distance.
"You will not leave the planet!" The Meterax launched from its place in the forest and flew out in front of the Blue Typhoon.
Just inside the Blue Typhoon…
The girls had just finished loading all the supplies onto the Blue Typhoon. Everyone was lying on the floor, tired out. Amy had just carried the last bag over when the intercom came on.
"Attention everybody. Brace yourselves…"
Amy just collapsed to the floor. "Whatever…"
"Target's straight ahead!" yelled Tails, as he aimed the cannon. On the screen, it showed a close-up of the Meterax. It was already prepared to fire missiles at the Blue Typhoon. A little X inside a circle moved around the screen until it locked on the Meterax. Outside, the Meterax had fired its missiles, coming right for the Blue Typhoon.
"Sonic Power Cannon, FIRE!" yelled Tails, Muctarr, and Knuckles.
Outside on the main deck in front of the cannon, Tyler and Jerred started to watch as the cannon was loading energy, about to fire. Tyler then noticed something important, that they were standing right in front of the cannon. Obviously, Jerred noticed too, as they both slowly turned to each other.
"I suggest we move?" asked Tyler calmly.
"Let's…" said Jerred, also calm.
They cowardly screamed as they jumped out of the way of the cannon. The cannon fired with a loud blast, launching Sonic right at the Meterax. The missiles headed straight for Sonic, as he flew by them, causing them to explode. He shot right through the Meterax, leaving a giant hole in the Meterax's chest. Sparks flew out from its chest, before it exploded in midair.
Tyler and Jerred were watching from where they dove, and Jerred started cheering. "Alright, fireworks!" Tyler looked through the smoke, as saw that Sonic started to fly straight up, unable to control where he was going.
He pointed it out to Jerred. "Let's see how big a splash he'll make!"
Suddenly, the intercom came on. "Hey, Tyler, can you go get Sonic? You should be able to catch him if you fly over to him."
"Why do I have to do it?"
Tails groaned over the intercom. "Just do it!"
Tyler sighed. "Fine…" He started spinning his tails and took off towards Sonic, who was already falling back towards the ground.
"Jerred, you might want to come inside now…"
"Alright…" said Jerred as he started his way to go inside Blue Typhoon.
Sonic was falling straight for the sea below. As he continued to plummet, he closed his eyes and prepared for impact. He suddenly felt himself stop as something grabbed his arm. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing that Tyler had grabbed him and was now flying him to the Blue Typhoon, which was now starting to take off again.
"You… saved me?"
"So?"
Sonic grinned. "So you do care about me!" he said, poking fun at Tyler. Tyler grinned as Sonic felt Tyler's grip on him weaken. Suddenly, he let go completely as Sonic was by himself in midair. He desperately tried to grab back on to Tyler, but missed, and started falling again.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" yelled Sonic as he fell.
"Take it back," he plainly said.
"ALRIGHT! I TAKE IT BACK! NOW JUST HELP!" Tyler swooped back down, but this time, grabbed his leg, causing Sonic to hang upside down. "Do I look like a bat to you?"
"Would you rather look like a fish?" asked Tyler. Sonic crossed his arms and sighed angrily as Tyler carried him back to the Blue Typhoon.
"Retracting cannon… Rerouting energy to the main engine… Forward wings deployed!" said Tails, as he was doing everything he was saying.
"Dude, do you have to say everything out loud?" cam Muctarr's vice over the intercom.
Tails rubbed the back of his neck. "Heh… Sorry. Well, here we go…" The main engine burst with energy as the Blue Typhoon launched forward towards the atmosphere. Down below, the Beowulf had just changed its course into following after the Blue Typhoon.
The girls, who were still resting, heard the roar of the engine. Amy stood up immediately. "Let's go up to the bridge!" She took off running in the direction of the bridge. Everyone else slowly started to get up as well, some with bones cracking in the process.
"How does she just get up and go like that?" asked Angelique, who was stretching her back.
"She gets plenty of exercise chasing Sonic around," answered Kristen. They all soon followed after Amy.
At the bridge, Tails was in the main seat with Tyler, Sonic, Jerred, and Muctarr standing around him. Suddenly the girls all walked in, with Cream, Cosmo, Angelique, and Kristen heading for the window. They all peered out of it, and gasped in awe at the sight.
"Wow. Look at that view!" exclaimed Kristen.
"I always wanted to see what our planet looks like," said Cream.
"Well, take a picture, because it might be the last time you see it…" said Jerred, before being elbowed in the stomach by Tyler.
"Hey, don't say that! Sure, we're going against a band of robots led by one so powerful that even me in super form and Super Sonic couldn't stop, but look on the bright side!"
"After explaining like that, it would be good to have a bright side! What is it anyway?" asked Sonic.
"We to get to sight-see!" he said laughing.
"Ah, shut up!" everyone yelled.
Sonic couldn't help laughing a bit, but suddenly got the urge to scratch behind his ear. When he did, he caught something in his fingers, and moved it to his face so he could look at it. It looks like a piece a metal.
"What is this?" he asked.
"What's what?" asked Tails.
"This thing behind my ear!" Tails walked over to him and glanced at it.
"Looks like an electronic bug…"
"So, we need to call an electronic exterminator?" asked Tyler, getting a few laughs.
"I meant one of those bugs that people listen through, like spying…" explained Tails.
"Who would want to spy on us? We got nothing to hide!"
"You're one to talk, Tyler!"
"Hey, I got nothing to hide!"
"Then what's your first name?"
"…… Okay, I got one thing, but that's it!"
The yellow robot turned around in his seat. "Doctor, I think they found your bug on Sonic."
Eggman let out a laugh. "I knew that we would get to the bottom of things! I planted that bug on Sonic right before he woke up. Now let's follow them!"
"Yes sir, Doctor!" yelled the robots. The spacecraft they were in took off from its base at Eggman's tower, following straight behind the Blue Typhoon and the Beowulf.
"Full speed ahead! Don't let them get away!" ordered Bokkun.
"Huh?" yelled Eggman. "HEY, I GIVE THE ORDERS AROUND HERE!"
In the distance, another small craft hovered in its place. Inside was Rouge, a bat that had only one thing on the mind, diamonds. She had been spying on the Doctor, and was even there when Sonic was passed out at his base. She saw Eggman's spaceship leaving, and followed after it, leaving a trail of spacecrafts leaving the atmosphere, the two in the front being the Blue Typhoon and the Beowulf, the second in line being Eggman's ship, and following close behind was Rouge's ship.
Okay, that's it for now. Now that they're FINALLY in space, the story can start to move forward. So be sure to read the next chapter of Brothers United 2!
And p.s. If you had any problems with this chapter, or saw a mistake, feel free to tell me. I won't get mad… What? What are my hands doing behind my back, you ask? Oh, nothing. They're not crossing their fingers if that's what you're thinking! Who said anything about crossing fingers, not me, nope! Innocently whistles
