Ep. 5: Legend of the Hidden Treasure! Fang the Sniper's Strike!
Throughout the desert, a weasel wearing big brown boots, a belt, and a detective hat walked menacingly, thinking about his goal: to uncover secret treasure. He had heard from a merchant he attacked a few days before about the legendary riches.
"Please don't hurt me! I have nothing to give to you, so just spare me!" the merchant pleaded.
"Rrrrgh! You're a merchant, you should at least have somethin' for me to take!" the shouted.
"Well, I may not have anything valuable at the moment. But I do have some valuable info for you." the merchant replied.
"Like what?" Fang asked.
"There's a city that is exactly twenty miles from here. It is said that within it lies legendary treasure, a crystal known as the Gem of Life. The one who posesses it will gain unimaginable power, luck, and fame!" the merchant revealed.
"That old fool better of been true to his word! Or I'll make an unfriendly visit to his home!" Fang thought, continuing his journey.
Meanwhile, back in Station Square, Sonic and Tails were in Sonic's hotel room coming up with plans for the professor's escape.
"Sonic, I was thinking, what if you used your speed to race through Eggman's forces and just save Professor Thorndyke?" Tails asked.
"It's not that simple, Tails. I've never actually been in Eggman's airship, so that would be suicide." Sonic cried.
"Nothing's ever easy, is it?" Tails asked. "Sonic?"
Tails realized Sonic was snoring.
"Of course. I knew those midnight runs weren't good for him." Tails said.
(A knock came to the door.)
"SONIC! It's Amy! I came here to talk about that kiss." Amy cried.
"Amy?" Sonic asked, quickly waking up.
"Kiss?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, about that. Heh heh." Sonic muttered.
"What were you and Amy doing last night?" Tails asked.
"That doesn't matter right now! Go to the door and tell her this is not my room!" Sonic ordered.
Tails walked to open the door as Sonic headed towards the window to make an escape.
"Hello, Amy. How's it goin?" Tails cried.
"I don't know. Where's Sonic?" Amy asked, annoyed.
"This is my room, silly." Tails said.
"Funny, because I checked and this is Room 233: Sonic's!" Amy yelled.
"Well, he's not here so..." Tails replied.
Amy threw her Piko Piko Hammer at the wall, halting a scared Sonic from exiting.
"My Piko Piko Hammer never fails me, does it?" Amy commented.
"There's a name for that thing?" Tails asked.
"Nice try, Sonic. But you owe me a kiss, I know I let you slide last night, but I can't wait anymore!" Amy cried, blushing.
"So what else did you guys do last night? Should I go buy diapers?" Tails asked, chuckling.
"SHUT UP!" Sonic and Amy yelled at Tails, in unison.
"I was just joking, geez." Tails said.
"Anyway, I want to kiss you now! I'm not leaving until I get it." Amy chanted.
Amy looked at the clock, and the time was: 10: 37 am!
"Oh, no! I was supposed to pick up Cream so we could go to the park! I can't disappoint her!" Amy yelled, racing out.
"Well, that was close." Sonic said.
"I say we leave just in case she comes back, okay." Tails replied.
Sonic is snoring.
"Y'know, I might just leave him here for Amy. Nah!" Tails cried.
Meanwhile, in the desert, Fang made his way into a bar, shocking the men who were drinking there.
"I'll have some apple juice, please." Fang said.
Two men approached Fang.
"Hmph, such a sissy! This is a bar, get some beer, ya' weakling." the man said.
"Well, what would you expect? He's a little squirt!" the other added.
Fang's hat covered his face, which was serious and dark.
"Aren't ya goin' to do somethin?" the second man asked, taking Fang's juice and drinking it right in front of him. "Thanks for the free juice, punk!"
Everyone in the bar looked at Fang, and soon the weasel got up from his chair.
"Oh, so now he's going to do something, eh?" the second man asked.
Fang looked at the man fiercely, and he quickly fell to the ground.
"What happened?" the first man asked.
"I shot him, as simple as that." Fang said.
"But that's impossible! I didn't see you..." the man replied.
"That's the problem with the idiots from this Zone. Most only believe what they can see, and that's what gets em' all the time." Fang stated. "Now, if you're smart, you'll buy me another juice right away, or you'll end up being like your friend."
"Who are you?" the man asked.
"I'm Fang, Fang the Sniper." Fang revealed.
(Fang received another juice.)
"Thanks, but no thanks." Fang said.
"WHAT?" the man cried.
Fang shot the man through a wall, and outside onto the ground with a bullet.
"That's for calling me a sissy." Fang said, quietly. "Now, bartender, I need to know something."
"What is it?" the bartender asked, frightened.
"There's a city a few miles away from here. What's the name of it?" Fang asked.
"Oh, are you talking about Station Square?" the bartender asked again.
"Yeah, that's all I need to know. Oh, and I'll be taking this apple juice." Fang announced.
"Oh, of course." the bartender said as Fang left.
Later, Sonic and Tails walked within Station Square, trying to think of a way to get rid of Amy.
"Sonic, your girlfriend is a distraction. We're supposed to be coming up with a rescue plan, but she keeps getting in our way. Do something about it!" Tails yelled.
"She's not my girlfriend, and it's not like she's going to leave us alone anyway." Sonic said.
Suddenly, Sonic bumped into a post, and saw a flyer.
"TREASURE?" Sonic asked.
"What about it?" Tails questioned.
"This thing is saying there's a legendary treasure in this place somewhere!" Sonic yelled.
"LEGENDARY TREASURE?" Amy asked, alongside Cream.
"Aw man, you're back." Sonic said.
"What about the legendary treasure, Mr. Sonic?" Cream asked.
"Well, kid. It says here that Station Square is known for the legendary treasure that can only be found here!" Sonic cried.
"Let me see that." Amy ordered.
Amy looked at it, and wasn't pleased.
"This could be fake, Sonic." Amy said.
"Hmmm, you're probably right. But you can never be too sure!" Sonic cried.
"Fine, we'll try looking for it. But if it ends up I was right, you owe me that kiss." Amy replied.
"It's a deal!" Sonic chanted.
"Let's go ask Morshu. He knows Station Square WAY more than us. In fact, he's been here for decades!" Cream suggested.
"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Sonic commanded.
Sonic, Amy, and Cream headed to the ice cream joint, leaving Tails alone.
"Rrrrgh, Sonic' wasting my time! The professor's waiting for me. Sorry, Sonic, but this is one adventure you'll have to take on your own." Tails said, preparing to go back and plan more.
"Treasure, eh? So that fool was telling the truth. Well, I guess I'll follow those hedgehogs. I mean, I could easily find the treasure myself, but I hate doing the work. And besides... THAT PINK HEDGEHOG WAS HOT! Maybe, she'll wanna' go out with me, but how old is she? I mean, I'm eighteen! But she looks younger. Well, I could make it work!" Fang yelled, running off.
(the poster about the treasure unfolds at the bottom to reveal: the legendary treasure of good hygiene)
- At Morshu's -
"Well, my father did tell me about hidden treasure in this place as a boy. So I guess he was telling the truth, eh. I always thought those were just stories." Morshu said.
"So I was right, Amy. This kiss is off!" Sonic chanted.
"Wait, the deal was to prove there is treasure. Until you find some, you still owe me one." Amy reminded.
"Rrrrrrgh, fine! Let's go." Sonic ordered. "Well, are you comin?"
"You want me to go somewhere with you?" Amy asked.
"Well, yeah! I need someone to help me because Tails isn't here. It's not like this is a date or anything." Sonic replied.
"Oh, right. No date!" Amy cried, smiling. "I really thought he wanted me along because he loved me."
Sonic and Amy leave, ditching Cream.
"Wow, seems like those two are really interested in winning this bet." Cream said.
"Ugh!" Morshu cried, surprised.
Sonic and Amy continued their quest alone, trying to prove to one another whose right and whose wrong.
"I'm telling you, Sonic, you're wasting your time. This place is huge, and you have no evidence to back up your claim." Amy claimed.
"Wow, you're good at giving logic." Sonic admitted.
"Well, I've been thinking about becoming a lawyer one day and..." Amy replied.
Sonic ignored her and continued up ahead.
"HEY, WAIT UP!" Amy cried, tripping over.
When she regains balance, Fang appeared.
"Hey, toots. How bout' you and me go somewhere tonight, ya know', have some fun." Fang suggested.
"Where is that coming from?" Amy asked.
"Down here, you idiot!" Fang yelled.
Amy looked down reluctantly.
"Yeah, first of all, I'm twelve." Amy revealed.
"Twelve? I thought you were alot closer to my age than that!" Fang cried, embarrassed. "Well, we can still make this work, right?"
"Get away from me, you FREAK!" Amy yelled.
"Amy, look! I found the treasure!" Sonic announced.
"He did what?" Amy cried.
"Whoa, he found it quicker than me! Looks like he's a good treasure hunter after all!" Fang chanted, running in his direction.
- Near Sonic -
"Heh heh." Sonic chuckled.
"So I heard you found this place's treasure, eh?" Fang asked.
"Yeah, so what. Who are you, shorty?" Sonic asked.
"I'm Fang the Sniper. I'm sure you've heard of me by now!" Fang cried.
"Nope, not at all." Sonic said.
"Rrrgh, well you'll be smart to hand over your treasure, right now!" Fang ordered.
"No way, I found it, it belongs to me." Sonic replied.
"Fine, you asked for it." Fang smirked.
"Huh?" Sonic wondered.
"What's going on?" Amy asked, behind a tree.
"Marvelous Queen, let's go!" Fang screamed.
"What?" Sonic and Amy said.
A blue/silver hoverbike races to Fang's aid, and he leaps onto it and quickly presses alot of buttons, sending missiles at Sonic, who dodges them in a comedic way.
"Ah, make them stop!" Sonic shouted.
"Not until ya' give me that treasure you found, hedgehog!" Fang ordered.
"NO WAY! AGAIN!" Sonic screamed.
"FINE!" Fang shouted.
Fang presses a lock-on button, and has bullets following Sonic as he tried to escape within the city, near several houses. As Sonic is running, he begins to think about the harm he may cause.
"Rrrrgh, if I'm not careful, I could accidentally direct one of his bullets to some innocent people!" Sonic cried.
Amy watches from afar.
"Be careful, Sonic! Don't let him hurt anyone!" Amy warned.
"Got it!" Sonic replied.
A man and son prepare to go fishing, but Fang's bullets scare them back inside in a comical way. Sonic uses his speed to avoid getting hit by any of the missiles and bullets.
Smoke clears from the area, and Amy gasps, believing Sonic got caught by them.
"SONIC! Oh no, my Sonic is gone. Nooooooooooooo!" Amy yelled, in tears.
A blue figure emerges unscathed, giving a peace sign.
"Amy, calm down. I'm alright." Sonic assured.
"Oh, Sonic! I thought he got you for sure." Amy chanted, running to Sonic and hugging him.
"Hey, knock it off!" Sonic ordered.
"This hedgehog is not normal. He didn't even get hit once! But I'm the best shooter around, so how'd this good-for-nothin' punk get past all of em?" Fang thought.
"Is that all?" Sonic asked, looking at Fang.
"Nope. I still have full throttle, and I'm sure after this. You won't even have a choice about telling me anymore!" Fang yelled.
Amy gasped, and Sonic's face started to sweat as Fang menacingly prepared to press the ultimate button. As he did, nothing happened.
"What's going on? This thing should be working! Oh, no. I forgot to get it charged, again! RRRRGH. Who needs it? I still have my gun!" Fang screamed, preparing to grab his gun out of his belt.
"Oh no you don't!" Sonic yelled, racing to Fang and grabbing his gun, and crushing it.
"Heh, you really think I'd only carry one gun! I have another, ya' know!" Fang shouted.
Fang brought another gun out, making Sonic stand fiercely.
"That's right. Now tell me where your treasure is, NOW!" Fang ordered.
Sonic stood quietly, angered.
"Oh, you're not going to tell me, are you? Then, you're useless!" Fang shouted.
Fang shot a bullet at Sonic, but Amy's Piko Piko Hammer stopped it from reaching him, pinning it to a brick wall.
"Damn it! That was my last bullet." Fang revealed.
Amy and Sonic cornered Fang, who backed away, frightened.
"Now, Fang. You know I can't let you leave now that you've embarrased me, right?" Sonic shouted, enraged.
"Heh heh. I'll make it up to ya', umm, what's your name?" Fang asked.
"It's Sonic, but I'm pretty sure you know because you've been following us, haven't you?" Sonic asked.
"He was? Stalker!" Amy yelled.
"Oh, c'mon! I'm just a fan! Don't do anything you'll regret, Sonic." Fang said.
"Rrrrgh!" Sonic yelled, kicking Fang away from them.
"AAAAAAAAAaaaah!" Fang cried, as he was whisked away.
Later, Sonic walked Amy home. He had both arms behind his head and Amy had them beneath her, holding them together wondering about the treasure.
"So I guess there's no kiss." Amy said, saddened.
"Oh, don't make me feel bad! I just won the bet, that's all there is to it!" Sonic replied.
"Wrong." Tails said, walking up.
"Why?" Sonic asked.
"The treasure was never real. I was trying to find you when I saw that the flyer actually read, the legendary treasure of good hygiene!" Tails revealed.
Cream approached.
"You guys both got so caught up in your competition, you left me behind." Cream said.
"Oh, sorry. Me and Sonic got our hands full with a weasel, wolf-person, thingy." Amy stated.
"That's right, Fang was his name. He was also searching for treasure, and he seems like some kind of bad guy so I'll be keepin' my eye on him." Sonic announced.
"Hey, Amy. Sonic has something to tell you." Tails said.
"I do?" Sonic asked.
Tails stared angrily at Sonic, reminding him of it.
"Oh, Amy. We can't have you pestering me all the time. You see, Tails' mentor got kidnapped by a guy named Eggman and we've been trying to come up with plans to save him. But you keep interfering with all of that, so can you please stop?" Sonic asked.
"Eggman, eh? What a weird name. I guess I'll stop bothering you guys." Amy said. " I mean, Tails does deserve to get his mentor back, and if I keep distracting you guys, I'll waste your time." Amy admitted.
"Thank you, Amy." Sonic said.
"But you still owe me that kiss!" Amy cried, smiling.
"Fine." Sonic replied.
"So why did you lie about finding the treasure?" Amy asked.
"Simple, I wanted to win the bet so there'd be no kiss." Sonic said.
"Is this supposed to be the fake treasure you've found, Mr. Sonic?" Cream asked, picking up a broken lamp found near the area.
"Yeah, I was trying to make it look ancient and valuable, but Fang came and ruined it. I dropped it as soon as he arrived, that idiot." Sonic revealed.
"You think I'd fall for that anyway?" Amy asked.
"Maybe." Sonic chuckled.
"Well, mister lier, for lying you now owe me two kisses!" Amy cried.
"Two?" Sonic screamed.
"That's right!" Amy yelled.
"Oh, boy." Tails and Cream gulped.
"Change it back!" Sonic shouted.
"If you catch me, I'll consider it!" Amy chanted.
"I'm the fastest thing alive, of course I'll catch you!" Sonic cried.
Sonic chases Amy into the distance.
"We sure do have some weird friends, huh?" Tails commented.
"That's right." Cream replied.
- In a forest -
"Ouch, that hurt! Rrrrrgh, I promise I'll find that treasure and I'll get that Amy girl to like me, and also force Sonic to give me his treasure!" Fang yelled.
- Later -
Sonic and the gang prepared to walk home, until Fang stopped them.
"What are you back doing here? I already taught you a lesson." Sonic asked.
"I came to get that treasure you have!" Fang yelled.
An awkward silence came from the Sonic crew.
"What? Why is everyone all quiet?" Fang asked.
"Oh, about that..." Sonic cried.
(Sonic told Fang about the lie.)
"!" Fang screamed.
- After, in the desert -
"I can't believe Sonic lied about it! And even more that the merchant played me for a fool! Time for my revenge!" Fang yelled.
Fang headed towards the merchant's home, and knocked on the door. (No answer) He kept knocking. (No answer)
"He should be here, right? Unless... He escaped before I knew about his lie! Rrrgh, he tricked me so he could be able to live! Now, all I can do is hope for better luck next time, eh? But before I completely go back to searching for treasure, that hedgehog didn't get a good taste of my weaponry because they weren't charged enough. I'll beat him, and make him take me to all kinds of places with rare riches! With his speed, I'll be able to have all kinds of stuff within hours!" Fang announced.
A bird swoops by, and poops on Fang's hat.
"Ah, crap! That was limited edition, you idiot!" Fang cried.
Now it seems Sonic has a new enemy, Fang, who plans to have a rematch with Sonic and force him to help him steal all over the world! It also appears that Sonic has also learned the weakness of competition, so does this mean Amy can get her two kisses after all? And what lies in store for Cream, next time on Sonic: FTA!
(Sonic X Ending 1)
Fang: Well, readers. I've been introduced and now I will prove to all of you I'm the ultmate character!
Sonic: But I'm the ultimate character, I mean, I'm the main one, right?
Fang: Well...
Sonic: So there can't be another ultimate character.
Fang: No, in polls, sometimes it is said secondary characters make it to the top, and that's exactly what I'm going to do!
Sonic: To think, I have to deal with you later on in this story, again!
Next Time: Bonds of Cream and Cheese! Fang and Sonic's Rematch?
