Sonic Truth Or Dare Tournament
Yep, I'm back with an update. Hope you guys had a nice New Year. I heard fireworks all night! =D Where we left off: Scorch is leaving, to pursue his artist career. Hazelnut decided to give him some money to buy a house and a studio. Scorch jumps at the offer.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Sonic team. I own Hazelnut, Jade and Scorch.
Scorch stood in the guest room that Hazelnut and Jade let him use. He looked around excitedly, today was the start of his new life. He checked his packed suitcases, he didn't want to leave anything behind. Just as he went over to sit at the desk, a familiar teal hedgehog burst into the room.
"Scorch!" She called. "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
Scorch turned around. "Hazelnut said she would."
Jade sighed. "I guess you're going to say your goodbyes later?"
He nodded. "Yeah, just after lunch, I think."
"Well... I guess I'll see you after lunch."
"Yeah..." He replied. Jade walked out of the room, leaving Scorch to himself.
Later...
The group were in the dining room, eating their lunch. No-one except for Hazelnut and Jade, knew that Scorch was leaving in just under an hour.
"I still can't believe he's leaving already." Jade mumbled to Hazelnut.
Hazelnut nodded. "But he did only come temporarily. We both knew that."
Jade sighed. "But he was only here for two weeks!"
Hazelnut shrugged. "There's no changing his mind now."
"Well, I guess it's... for the best."
Hazelnut smiled. "Yep, when he becomes famous, he'll never regret this choice. Neither will we."
Soon, they all finished their lunch. Hazelnut cleared her throat and stood up.
"I, er, have an announcement." She said nervously. Everyone looked at her anxiously. "I would like Scorch to stand up." They looked confused but he stood up. "Scorch is leaving. Today. He can tell you the details." She sat down.
Scorch remained standing. "Yes, it's true. I'm leaving today... to start my career, as an artist! All of you commented that my art was amazing. Hazelnut gave me an idea, she told me that she'd give me the money for a house and an art studio. Then, I'll sell my work, and make my money that way." He explained. He took a deep breath. "Hopefully, it'll work out okay... touch wood."
Everyone just stared. They were not expecting this.
Amy walked up to him. "Well, I hope it goes well for you!" She shook his hand. "Bye."
Soon after Amy had said her goodbye, everyone did the same, wishing him luck.
The last of the Sonic gang was Shadow. "I have a feeling you'll be okay... see you." With that, he shook hands and walked back to the rest of the gang.
Hazelnut and Jade were waiting by the door. Hazelnut handed Scorch a slip of paper. It read:
To Scorch
The address of your new house is at the bottom of this paper. Jade and I wish you luck and we'll visit you soon. Remember: Never give up. Keep going strong, then one day, you'll succeed.
Hazelnut and Jade x
Your new address: 89 Botanical Gardens, Angel Island.
Scorch smiled. "Thanks you two. I'm sure I'll love the house."
"They have houses on Angel Island now!?" Sonic asked, confused.
Knuckles nodded. "Yes, but on the other side of the island to the shrine. Obviously because they don't want to disturb me guarding it."
"Yeah, 'guarding' it." Someone muttered sarcastically.
Amy looked at Sonic in a 'duh' way. "The houses are apparently beautiful! I'd love to live in one... but they're so expensive." She sighed. "I guess it's because they're on a floating island in the sky. Also, because there's only a couple of dozen of them."
Hazelnut smiled. "The houses are beautiful. We went to see them."
Rouge frowned. "Speaking of the Master Emerald, how is it safe when we're here!?"
Tails rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, it's not going anywhere. I installed a shield device. When someone touches the shield, they're instantly shocked. It can be quite painful."
"Drats." She muttered. "Now I won't be able to steal it. Grrr..."
Jade cleared her throat. "Anyway, we have something else to give you, Scorch."
He turned to her. "What's that then?"
Jade produced a bag from behind her back. "Just a little money to buy some supplies to start you off."
"H-how much is in it?"
Hazelnut thought for a moment. "Probably around £400(that would be around $800)."
"Wow." He replied. "Thank you, everyone. For making this a nice experience for me. Thank you Hazelnut and Jade, I'd be a gonner if it wasn't for you two."
"Your welcome!" Hazelnut and Jade said in unison. They turned to each other and giggled.
Scorch turned and faced the door. It slowly began to open and Scorch walked through. He watched it close as slowly. Everyone waved and shouted their farewells as the door firmly shut, blocking out all sound. He turned around and walked away, out of the cave, and into his new life.
The next day...
Hazelnut sat on her bed, feeling bored. Jade had gone shopping, to get more food. Scorch had gone yesterday. She sighed. She liked to be alone sometimes, but other times, it was just boring. She decided to see what the gang was up to.
She walked down the corridor, for some reason, the living room was dark, with only a small fire for light. She walked in and found the gang sitting in a circle.
" ...And she was never seen again." Shadow was saying, while everyone shuddered.
"Hey everyone!" Hazelnut called. "What's going on in here then?"
Shadow smirked. "We're telling each other ghost stories. My stories are the best."
Sonic scowled. "Your stories aren't scary!"
Shadow raised an eyebrow. "So that's why you were shaking like a leaf?" He retorted.
"I, er, it's cold in here." He replied, rubbing his arms.
"You're a rubbish liar. Who's next?"
Sonic huffed. "I'll go next."
"See if you can beat mine!" Shadow smirked.
Sonic smiled cockily. "You're on." He said, shaking hands with Shadow. But in his head, he knew that his ghost stories were lamer than Tails'.
"Get on with the story already!" Blaze said, looking bored.
"Geez, okay!" He said as he got himself comfortable. "Uhh, ummm...errr."
Shadow burst out laughing. "You can't even think of one! Hahahahaha!"
Silver raised an eyebrow. "Wow, Shadow can actually laugh?"
Everyone went into fits of laughter after hearing this.
"Maybe we should tell jokes instead?" Hazelnut suggested.
"Maybe, since no-one can think up any stories." Rouge replied.
"Well, did you know that Sonic's chili dogs do not agree with him." Tails said, grimacing.
"Why?" Knuckles asked.
Tails looked at him. "His gas is unbelievably deadly to noses."
Everyone laughed.
Sonic growled at Tails. "And make sure to never give Tails cherry-ade."
"Huh? Why?" Hazelnut asked.
"Because he flies around the house at speeds rivaling mine!"
"It's my favourite..." Tails mumbled.
Everyone laughed, but not as much as they did for the chili dog one.
"As for Knuckles," The yellow fox gestured to him. "He pretends that he's guarding the Master Emerald all day. Sure, he has his eyes open, but he can sleep like that. He's so lazy..."
That earned a playful punch from Knuckles, which he just about managed to dodge. Everyone laughed again.
"Amy, how do you chase after Sonic all the time?" Rouge asked curiously.
"Well, um, er..." She stammered.
"She drinks loads of soda." Shadow answered. "It can make anyone hyper."
Soon, Jade came back, teleporting huge bags of food into the oversized fridge and freezer.
"Hi guys! I'm back!" She called.
"Finally!" Hazelnut sighed in relief. Now she wouldn't be so bored.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because we have to eliminate someone, remember?" Hazelnut whispered, not wanting the gang to hear.
Jade sighed. "Oh, yeah... I forgot about that."
"Haha, and they still don't know the secret of the fan-pit!" She laughed.
Jade smirked. "Yeah, that it's all mechanical, and nothing hurts you, it just teleports you back home!"
"But still... it's going to be really strange without whoever goes. I've gotten used to everyone here." Hazelnut said sadly.
Jade nodded. "Yep, me too."
Hazelnut sighed. "Come on, we have to prepare for it."
Hazelnut and Jade were standing on the stage as usual. They looked tense and everyone wondered what was wrong.
"This time, everyone, we have to eliminate someone." Hazelnut sighed.
A deathly silence filled the room. No-one wanted to be attacked by 'rabid fans'. Now they knew why they both looked upset.
Jade pushed the button and the randomizer whirred into action. It scrolled through everyone's names in lightning speed. Finally, it landed on one name. Silver's.
Silver's eyes widened and so did Blaze's. "B-but! N-no!" He stammered.
Hazelnut began to speak. "I'm sorry Silver, but you must be-"
"Noooo!" Blaze roared, making everyone jump, even Hazelnut. "If Silver has to go, then I'll go too!"
Jade stepped back but Hazelnut stood her ground. "... Fine."
"What!?" Rouge shrieked.
"I said fine."
"You're crazy!"
Hazelnut grinned. "Not as crazy as you think though!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rouge asked.
"You'll find out." Hazelnut replied. "Now, Blaze, are you sure you want to go with him?"
Blaze nodded. "Yes. I care about Silver. He's my friend, and I can't bear to lose him."
Hazelnut raised an eyebrow. "Okaaaay. Please stand on the red square, both of you."
They stood on the square, trembling, holding hands.
The square gave way and Blaze screamed as they fell into the 'fan-pit'. They were carried away by 'fans' and a small flash appeared and teleported them to Sonic's house.
With Silver and Blaze...
A small flash appeared and teleported them to Sonic's house. Blaze stood up dizzily. She took in her surroundings, realizing she was in Sonic's house. She quickly helped Silver stand up.
"Silver! We're not dead!" She cried.
Silver's eyes widened. "It was all a trick! The fan-pit was a teleportation device!"
Blaze smiled. "Well, at least we're alive. Although, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind when I next see them!" She vowed. "Making me scared for no reason..." She then muttered.
At the Stadium...
"You see," Hazelnut was saying. "The fan-pit is actually a teleporter. It's all mechanical."
"So Silver, Blaze and Big aren't dead?" Amy asked.
"No, far from it. They'll be a bit dizzy for a few minutes, but other than that, they're fine." Jade replied.
"You evil people!" Amy gasped jokingly.
"Phew, now I'm not so worried about losing." Rouge said. "Not that I'll let my guard down, I still want that emerald!"
Yes, the secret of the fan-pit is out! Big is gone, Blaze and Silver are gone... who will be next? Scorch has gone for a completely different reason... the group in the stadium is getting smaller and smaller. Find out who goes in the next chapter. There will be a whole chapter dedicated for truths and dares! Wooo! Don't miss it! I've realised something, hardly anyone reads the last chapter... is something wrong with it? Or are people just not interested...?
