Sorry for the delay. I had finals this week. Well, enjoy chapter 1!
Btw, for music changes, don't open three of four tabs, just change the current one. Saves time doesn't it?
The Resistance: Chapter 1
Things that shine
( watch?v=fq8GFu4k5-8)
As Ness and company looked around the green hill, which was shining brightly due to the clear sky, they looked around for any signs of life. However all they saw were little animals, such as birds and squirrels. Not one human was seen anywhere.
"Not a single person in sight…" Poo said as he jumped down from a palm tree.
"Perhaps only animals live in this dimension." Loid said.
"Then that means we won't have any technology to get us home." Paula told him.
"There's got to be someone around here with a bunch of gadgets we can use." Kumatora wined.
"Well what about that island out there?" Ness said, pointing to the island. "Maybe the humans and animals live separately."
"So this could be like an animal preserve?" Jeff asked.
"I don't know about that, there's no reason to have an animal preserve for just birds and squirrels." Ana told them, which made a lot of sense.
"I'm pretty sure somewhere there is some gear we can use." Pippi said looking at the island.
"And what makes you say that?" Ninten asked her.
"Well if there was no gear in this dimension, would there be a plane?" she asked.
From the island, a plane could be seen travelling west of their direction. It was a small red plane that looked no bigger than a fighter plane.
"So there's got to be some type of tech we can use." Duster said.
"Perhaps we can explain to them what's going on and they can loan us some parts." Lucas said.
"We should probably set up camp first before we do anything." Hinawa said. "If we get hurt out there in the wild it would help to have a place to come back to and heal."
"There's a beach down there, let's set up camp on the shore." Poo said, and with that, the team walked down to the shores of the hill.
-A few minutes later-
(Stop the music here)
A small fire was set up on the shores of the beach. The sound of the gentle waves seemed to sooth everyone. The group sat around the fire, chatting about what to do next.
"It's been awhile since we all sat around the fire as a family, hasn't it?" Hinawa asked her sons.
"It's been way too long…" Lucas quietly said.
"It still feels nice after all this time…" Claus said, now out of his armor, reminiscing on his past.
"Woof? (Well why wouldn't it be?)" Boney barked.
"We have a lot of time to make up for." Flint said, looking at his wife.
"Let's hope we can get back so you can do that." Ness said. "And let's hope Porky hasn't destroyed everything when we get back."
"If Porky destroyed everything, then there would be nothing left for him to rule." Paula said.
"But he was prepared to be the only human on earth at one point." Duster said. "With immortality on his side, I don't think he cares."
"So we need a way to get rid of his immortality." Pippi said. "But isn't immortality a fancy word for invincible?"
"She makes a point." Picky said. "If he's invincible, then how can we go up against him?"
"Nothing is invincible Picky." Poo told him. "Everything has a weakness."
"We just have to figure out Porky's weakness and we're in the clear?" Ninten asked.
"It can't be that damn easy." Kumatora said.
"Perhaps not, but we need an advantage." Teddy said.
"What we need is some reinforcements." Ninten said.
"However it has to be strong fighters." Paula said. "We can't put any inexperienced people in danger."
"Yet where can we find those fighters?" asked Ana.
"We might find some here." Ness said. "We don't know what the people here are capable of."
Suddenly, something blue ran by the group. It was so fast, it couldn't be seen. A blue streak was left behind, combined with a red and orange streak, but only for mere seconds. It ran by so fast that not only the fire was blown out, but the gang was blown away. They were knocked around all across the beach.
"That was a strong gust that just went by." stammered Ninten as he sat up along with everyone else.
"I don't think it was the wind." Ness said. "It might be someone running from something."
"Who can run that fast?" asked Loid. "That thing must've been travelling at the speed of sound!"
At that moment a giant robot came onto the beach. It was a robotic lumberjack. It seemed to be made of steel, for it was completely coated in a silver substance. It was wearing a jetpack that was also silver-coated. The only thing that wasn't silver was the axe it was holding, which was gold.
( watch?v=aG4Xg4ofkQU)
"What the hell is that?" Pippi yelled, pointing at the robot.
Ana stared at her. "Pippi, what did I tell you about your language?"
"What did I tell you about being a bitch?" Pippi retorted.
(This is why it's rated T for language)
Ninten jumped in between the two girls, right before they collided. They were about to punch each other when Ninten held out his hands, stopping the two in their tracks. "Can we focus on the giant robot?"
The robot stood there, staring at the heroes. After a while, it raised its axe up high and charged at them.
[You encountered the robot lumberjack!]
"Everyone, look out!" cried Poo as they each avoided the charging robot.
The robot, realizing it missed the targets, turned around and swung its axe wildly.
[The robot lumberjack swung its axe wildly!]
However, the robot was really slow. Nobody seemed like they were trying to avoid its wild attacks. They merely walked out of the robot's path.
[But it didn't hit anything!]
While the robot kept swinging its axe, Poo ran up to the robot from behind. He jumped up into the air, sword in hand, and attacked the robot.
[Poo attacks!]
The robot didn't even flinch at Poo's attack as it kept swinging its axe in a wild fashion.
[0Hp of damage to the robot lumberjack!]
"This thing is tough." Poo said as he jumped off the robot. "There isn't even a scratch on that thing."
"Then maybe we should try psi." yelled Ana. She then jumped onto the robot and clenched onto its jetpack. She then charged up her energy and fired two huge thunderbolts from her hands.
[Ana tried Pk Thunder α!]
However, the robot seemed to ignore the thunderbolts being shot into its circuits as it kept going.
[It doesn't affect the robot lumberjack]
"What's it going to take to stop this damn thing?" Kumatora yelled.
Paula ran up to the robot. As she ran, one of her fist became engulfed in flames. She jumped up to the robot and punched it right in the center.
[Paula tried Pk Fire α!]
Paula went right through the robot and landed on her feet. There was a big, giant hole in the robot. Small jolts of electricity could be seen coming out of the robot. It then blew up, causing a big explosion. Paula softly blew on her flame-coated fist, blowing out the flame.
[The robot lumberjack exploded!]
[You won!]
[The group earned 1000 exp.]
(Stop the music)
"So…hot…" Ness thought to himself. Then he said "Great job Paula. How did you think of that?"
"Well it was made of steel right? And fire beats steel, so I thought a simple Pk Fire would do." She smirked.
"Whatever ran by must've been running from that robot." Loid said, staring off into the direction in which the strong current of air went.
"We'll check it out tomorrow. For now, let's get some sleep. It's getting late." Ninten said, eyeing Ana out of the corner of his eye.
"Not yet, there's something that needs to be done first." Ana said, walking over to Pippi with her frying pan behind her back. "Oh Pippi, I have something for you." She smiled a mischievous smile.
"Uh oh!" Pippi started to run, but tripped over a stone sticking out of the sand. She picked up the item. It was a green gemstone that shined brightly. It looked like a diamond, but Pippi wasn't really sure. She put the stone in her pocket and ran off, just in time to avoid Ana's frying pan.
(Time to switch point of views)
"Wait a minute, stop!"
"Why on earth would we do that?"
A black portal appeared ahead.
"Well it's been a blast copying you two. Nana and Popo… you two are treated like stars in the other villages. I can get used to this. What about you Nana?"
"Oh I can definitely enjoy this 'Popo'." Said the girl called 'Nana'.
"Shall we go, my darling?" The boy called 'Popo' asked her.
"Of course, let's get going." Then the two walked into the portal.
"Wait a minute, come back here!"
"Popo it's obvious they won't come back."
The boy named Popo sighed. "Then we'll have to go after them." He picked up his mallet. "Are you coming Nana?"
The girl named Nana grabbed her mallet. "Of course! You're not leaving me behind while some dorks go around posing as us!"
Popo merely nodded at her and said no more as the two dashed into the portal.
-Present time-
( watch?v=4aBdE5u8-zU )
The memory of what had happened a few days ago still ran through Popo's mind. He and his best friend Nana (I think of them as friends) were merely walking home after their final day of being professional fighters had come to an end, and what do they find? Two people dressed in their parkas and impersonating them. Now they were walking down a green hill in search of the two doppelgangers.
"Popo, we need to find somewhere to rest." Nana tiredly said to him. "We've run out of food and have no way to get back home."
"I know you're tired Nana, but we must keep going." Popo placed a hand on her shoulder. "We'll find somewhere to rest soon, I promise."
As they walked along, they soon saw a house in the distance. It was a small house that was painted both pink and blue. In front of the house was a big patch of tall sunflowers.
"See Nana? It's a house. Maybe there's someone in there that can help us." Popo grabbed her hand and rushed off towards the house. As soon as they came to the door, he knocked on it a few times.
"What if no one's home?" Nana asked him.
"Then we'll have to keep moving. At least until we find some food and water." He told her.
At that moment the door opened. On the inside was a pink hedgehog. She had on a green shirt and wore a bright orange blouse. She had big dark eyes and wore a red headband in her hair. She had five quills sticking out of her head. She wore purple sneakers with orange laces. She stared at the two ice climbers.
"Hi there!" She said in a cheery voice. "Can I help you?"
"We were wondering if you would let us stay the night here." Nana said, cutting to the chase.
"Well sure, stay as long as you like! Come inside." She said, inviting them in.
The girl's house seemed bigger on the inside than the outside. The living room was decorated with yellow stripped wallpaper. There was a green couch and pink loveseat, along with a brown table in between them. There was a fireplace below a set of stairs.
"So what're your names?" She asked as they walked in.
"My name's Popo." Popo said, taking a seat on the loveseat.
"My name is Nana." Nana said, taking a seat next to Popo.
"My name is Amy." The girl said. "Amy Rose. But some call me Rosy the Rascal." She let out a small giggle.
"Nice to meet you Amy." Popo smiled at her. "Thanks for letting us stay here."
"Anything for a person in need." She said, returning the smile. "It's going to be dark soon and it would be dangerous for you two to be outside. May I ask why you need a place to stay?"
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Popo and Nana began explaining their story. How they were famous fighters in the super smash brothers tournament. How they lived outside a village at the base of a snowy mountain. How they ran into two doppelgangers as soon as they arrived home. Amy listened intently to their story, not losing interest once.
"Well you can stay here until we can find a way for you to get home. I know someone who may be able to help." She said as she watched them eat some of her blueberry cake.
"Really?" said Popo in between bites of cake. "Who?"
"His name's Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog. He's the fastest thing alive! He always comes over and visits me every day ever since we met. He's super nice and sweet, even though he doesn't talk. He'll be able to help you in the blink of an eye."
"That would be so wonderful!" Nana said between bites. "Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it." She looked out the window. The sun was setting. "He should be on his way over now."
"If he's as fast as you say he is, it shouldn't be long before he comes." Popo said, finishing his last slice of cake.
Nana stared at Amy's fireplace. On it were seven different stones, each a different color. There was green, light blue, blue, orange, red, purple, and yellow. Each of them seemed to give off a strange presence.
"What are those stones on your fireplace?" Nana asked her.
"Oh, those are time stones." Amy said. "They give the user power to travel deep in time. You can either go into the future or the past. Sonic gave them to me as a gift."
"So you can go anywhere in time anytime you want?" Popo was amazed.
"Yep, but I have to be careful using them. I rarely use them, but every now and then I have my fun." She smirked.
At that moment, knocking was heard on the door. The person sounded like they were in a hurry and needed to get in desperately. Before Amy could get to the door, a blue hedgehog jumped through the open window. He was carrying a red echidna and an orange fox.
(Stop the music)
"Sonic! What's wrong with you?" Amy scolded him. "You know better than to jump through my window. Remember when you broke my lamp doing that?" She then noticed the two bodies he was carrying. "Oh my they're hurt!'
Nana and Popo jumped up. "Quickly, help me get them upstairs so they can rest." And without another word, the four helped take the two inactive bodies upstairs.
-An hour later-
Knuckles sat up holding his head. He had a massive headache. "Damn badnik…" He mumbled to himself. He looked around. He was in a plain bedroom. There weren't many things that were worth noticing, except for the window and dresser. He noticed he was lying in a bed. He jumped out of the bed and walked out the door. Upon coming downstairs, he noticed Sonic and Tails, and a few other faces he didn't know.
"Knuckles, you're awake!" Tails exclaimed.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm better." Knuckles said, holding his head.
"Now will someone tell us what happened?" said the girl in the pink parka.
"You just rushed in here without a word." Said the boy in the blue parka.
"Well, it started when we came into green hill…" Tails began.
-Flashback-
( watch?v=SF9ZLNxHaBY obviously)
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ran throughout the brightly colored hill to the location on the map.
"According to the map, we have to go under the next bridge and look inside the waterfall." Tails said as they ran along.
"How can you tell?" Knuckles asked.
"There is a picture of a waterfall and a clue. The clue says 'Once you reach the middle bridge, go under and look into the waterfall.' That's all it says.
As they came across the bridge, the tree stopped. Sonic looked into the waterfall and noticed something shining. Without warning, Sonic jumped off the bridge and into the waterfall.
"Sonic!" Tails cried. He jumped up and started spinning his two tails, allowing himself to hover in the air. He picked up Knuckles and flew into the waterfall.
Sonic was waiting for them. In his hand he was holding a blue chaos emerald. He threw it up into the air and caught it, taunting them whit a smirk on his face.
"Now I get it!" Tails exclaimed. "Each chaos emerald leads to the next. Each chaos emerald should lead to the next clue, eventually leading to the treasure!" Tails felt proud of himself.
"Well then let's get this chaos emerald into the tornado and head to the next location!" Knuckles exclaimed, taking the emerald from Sonic.
As soon as the three turned around, a long hand stretched out and grabbed the emerald from Knuckles. The three turned around, each with a shocked expression on their faces. They saw a robot coming towards them. It was a robotic lumberjack. It seemed to be made of steel, for it was completely coated in a silver substance. It was wearing a jetpack that was also silver-coated. The only thing that wasn't silver was the axe it was holding, which was gold. It raised its axe up high as it lunged at the three.
( watch?v=kSDh50ZRuEE )
"It's one of Robotnik's machines!" Tails cried.
The robot swung its axe at the three. Sonic and Tails jumped out of the way, while Knuckles went under the robot. Knuckles charged at the robot with his fist held up high. He punched the robot, but the robot did not react to it. It swung its axe again, knocking Knuckled out of its way and onto the ground. Knuckles then fainted.
"Knuckles!" Tails rushed over to him. He had severe wounds on him from just one hit. This made Tails worry. He looked over his shoulder to see Sonic starring down the robot. When the robot swung his axe, Sonic jumped up in the air and spun his body, forming his famous spin attack. He tried to hit the robot, but it smacked Sonic away with its axe.
"Sonic!" Tails was extremely worried now. Both of his friends were losing, while he was sitting and watching. Tails then curled up into a ball and charged up his spin dashed attack. When Tails lunged at the robot, it swung its axe once again. However Tails anticipated this and jumped over the robot, hitting it in the head. However the robot didn't move as Tails struck it. The robot then used a powerful head-butt on Tails. Tails rolled back in pain and was slowly lost consciousness.
Sonic stood up and looked at his friends on the floor. He knew there was only one person who could heal them. He grabbed his friends while avoiding the robot, and jumped out of the waterfall. Luckily, there was a platform below, and Sonic landed on it. He dashed off, noticing the robot following him. As Sonic ran towards the end of the hill, he noticed the robot getting closer to him. Not wanting to put his friends in anymore danger, he ran at full speed, in the direction of his secret friend's home. Tails wanted to stay awake, but gave in and lost consciousness.
-End of flashback-
(Stop the music again)
"And that's how we got here." Tails said.
"Oh my, so that means…" Amy began.
"That Dr. Robotnik is back!" Knuckles cried.
"Who's Dr. Robotnik's?" asked Popo.
"Dr. Robotnik is an evil scientist who wants to take over the world! He kidnaps animals and uses them to power his robot army."
"That's horrible!" Nana cried.
"And if we don't stop him from getting the chaos emeralds, then the whole world is in trouble!"
"Tomorrow, we set off to find the doc!" Amy yelled, jabbing her finger in the air.
"Wait a minute…" Tails asked. "Who are you?"
"My name is Amy 'Rosy the Rascal' Rose." Amy said. "I'm Sonic's close friend. Who are you?"
"My name is Miles Prower." Tails said. "But everyone calls me Tails because of my two tails."
"And I'm Knuckles the echidna." Knuckles said.
"My name's Popo and this is my best friend Nana." Popo said as he pointed at Nana.
"Now that's everyone's acquainted with each other, let's get some rest and find Robotnik!" Tails yelled.
Sonic stared out the window."We'll find you Robotnik!" Sonic thought to himself. "No matter where you are hiding, we'll find you and take you down."
Next time, the hunt for the chaos emeralds begin!
