Here, we will see my way of seeing a very character. Enjoy!
The Resistance: Chapter 11
Questionable Allies
( watch?v=KZQdrKGETyc )
"Okay everyone, calm down!" Ness called. "We can now discuss our plan now that everyone is here."
Loud chatter was heard around the room.
"People, I'm trying to speak!" Ness was getting aggravated.
Jeff walked up to him and whispered something to Ness.
"Okay then, thanks." Ness said. "Pk Flash!" Ness exclaimed. Jeff put on his sunglasses as Ness released a bright green ball of energy. As it moved in the air, it gradually increased in size. As it became closer to the ground, Ness let it exploded, covering the room in a bright blinding light.
"Oww my eyes!"
"It's too bright!"
"I can't see!"
"My leg!"
As the light died down, a huge amount of the group were across the room.
"Maybe next time, you will listen to me when I try to say something." Ness snickered. "Okay, now get up. We've got business to discuss." Many groans erupted from the room. "Okay now, since we've got the password to get through Pokey's security, we can start the attack. However, for the time being we shall return to our homes."
"What?"
"Are you out of your flipping mind?"
"We can't leave in the middle of a war!"
"Quiet or I'll use Pk Flash again! Last time was only alpha level." Ness yelled.
The room grew silent.
"Now the reason I say that is because we need our best equipment before we can go into battle. We should go in our strongest. Pokey always has a trick up his sleeve, so I want everyone to be alert and on guard at all times. Also, we have one invention in progress that needs an important power source. Jeff."
Jeff walked up to Ness and stood next to him. "Ahem. Okay, so this invention of mine is a very special cannon. It has three settings; Stop, knockout, and drain. Stop mode will slow everything within its radius down to ¼ speeds. Knockout mode simply knocks out everything within radius, which will be helpful for taking down Pokey's air fleet. Drain mode will drain the subject of its energy. Now we will need a powerful source of energy to power it. After examining the chaos emeralds, we figured out that they are too enough to power it, even with just one. They may cause the machine to explode. We need something of smaller power to energize the cannon."
As Jeff went on explaining why they needed the power source, Sonic looked at Knuckles with a grin on his face.
"I know what you're thinking Sonic, and the answer is no." Knuckles whispered.
Tails walked over to Sonic and Knuckles. "You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked.
"I'm not going to get it." Knuckles crossed his arms.
Sonic started poking Knuckles. Noticing this, Tails did the same.
"I'm not doing it…" Knuckles sounded annoyed.
Just then, Amy walked over to the three. "May I ask what you three are doing?" She asked.
"Poking Knuckles to get him to do something." Tails told her. "Want to help?"
"Don't do it Amy." Knuckles muttered.
"Sure!" She replied.
"I'll be dammed." Knuckled muttered under his breath.
Now Sonic, Tails, and Amy were poking Knuckles.
"Stop…it…" Knuckles said, grinding his teeth.
"You know it's the right thing to do…" Amy said. "It is the right thing to do, right?" She asked Tails.
"It's totally the right thing to do." Tails said. "Come on Knuckles; take one for the team…"
"I'M NOT GETTING THE MASTER EMERALD!" Knuckles yelled out loud.
Everyone stared at him.
"Sonic after this, I'm going to kick your ass." Knuckles said.
"What's the master emerald?" someone in the crowd asked.
"It's what controls the chaos emeralds." Knuckles reluctantly said. "It controls the energy they produce so that they don't spiral out of control. Only a certain few can harness that energy without going out of control with power. Like Sonic, for example.
( watch?v=sTf_n6bHFj4 )
"Sonic can use the emeralds freely. He shows off more or less. The power of the emeralds depends on the user. It all depends if they are good or evil. If Sonic uses them, he develops golden fur and green eyes. If someone else uses them…well, I can't answer that. Either way, they can be used to save or conquer the world."
"So the master emerald keeps them in balance with each other?" Another person asked.
"That's true, because if they are drained too much, the results could be catastrophic." Knuckles said. Super Sonic was seen floating behind him, doing flips while wearing black sunglasses.
"Well then let's use the chaos emeralds with the master emerald nearby." Jeff said.
"Oh no, I'm not going to get it." Knuckles argued. "It's going to stay in its new spot and there's nothing you can do to change my mind."
Super Sonic stopped playing around in the air and picked up Knuckles. He stared at him with a cold expression.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…Ok fine, I'll go get it." Knuckles finally said. "But I won't take Robotnik or Metal Sonic with me."
"Damn." Dr. Robotnik cursed under his breath.
"That's fair enough." Tails said. "Now there's one small problem."
"Right, how do we send you back?" Jeff said.
"Well, it looks like we can't get back home right now." Knuckles said with a fake sigh. "Looks like we'll have to forget about using the master emerald and just move on with our plan."
"Wait, remember how we got here?" Amy said.
(Flashback)
Sonic got one more idea. He pulled out the chaos emeralds and placed them on the ground in a circle. He then stood in the center. When the laser came towards him, it was retracted into the emeralds.
The emeralds started shaking. They started glowing uncontrollably. Sonic jumped out of the way as a white blast of energy covered the entire field.
"Remember what happened when the emeralds absorbed Metal Sonic's laser blast?" Amy asked.
"Everyone look out!" Ness cried. As everyone shielded themselves, the white light blinded them. When they could see again, they were back in the black world again.
"We're here AGAIN?" Ness exclaimed.
(End of flashback)
"If we can reactivate that power the chaos emeralds produced, then maybe we can go back." Amy told everyone.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Ness said.
"Well then I guess we know what to do." Jeff said.
"Vector, come here." Knuckles called.
Vector walked up to him. "You called?"
"I want you and the rest of the chaotix to stay here and keep an eye on Robotnik. I think he's hiding something from us."
"You can count on us Knuckles. Have we ever let you down?"
". . ." Knuckles let out a very annoyed sigh as everyone else left the room. Nana stood in front of him.
"Knuckles, can we come too?" She asked him.
"Why should I let you come?" He asked her.
"Well I want to see the master emerald too." She told him. "I promise I won't try to steal it. Please?" She looked at him with big, pleading eyes.
"Well, I guess I can let you and Popo come along. Just don't mess with it." He told her.
"YES! Oh thank you Knuckles!" She gave him a tight hug, making him blush. Just then Popo walked up to them.
"Are we going?" He asked.
"We're going!" She told him.
"Sweet!" He exclaimed.
"May I ask why you two want to go again?" Knuckles questioned.
"Well…we can't actually…go…home, per say…" Popo said.
"Why not?"
"Well, we also live in another dimension. We don't know how to get back…"
"Let them tag along Knuckles." Amy said. "What's the worst that-"
Knuckles covered her mouth. "Don't ever say that. Whenever that sentence is finished, it always ends up bad. Besides, I already said they could come, so back off."
". . ." Knuckles took his hand off her mouth. She walked away without a word.
"I think you made her mad." Nana said.
"Nonsense, she's fine." Knuckles said. "Can we just go now?"
They all looked at Super Sonic, who was slowly drifting through the air with his eyes closed.
"Sonic we have to go now!" Tails yelled at him.
Reluctantly, the hedgehog opened his eyes, looked at his friends with an annoyed expression, and landed. As soon as he landed, his fur became its normal blue color. He placed the chaos emeralds down within a circle.
"Wait, where does he keep those emeralds with no pockets?" Popo asked.
(My own idea from years of questioning)
"They get absorbed into the user's body." Knuckles told them.
"Okay Metal Sonic, we're ready!" Tails called out the hole in the wall.
A blue laser launched in the room. However it went nowhere near the chaos emeralds.
Instead, it hit Sonic in the chest. Sonic was pushed back into the wall.
"Oh shoot, I missed" Metal Sonic snickered.
Sonic lied on the floor as Metal Sonic fired another laser. This time, it hit the chaos emeralds. The room was covered with a bright light. When the light disappeared, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Popo, and Nana were gone.
Ness stared at Metal Sonic. "You hit Sonic on purpose, didn't you?" He asked.
"In all honesty, I wasn't trying to." The robot responded.
(View change)
"Okay, so Sonic was knocked out." Amy said, dragging Sonic along the black world.
"In his defense, he was never good at dealing with lasers." Tails said.
"Now exactly where are we going?" Popo asked.
"Sky Sanctuary Zone." Knuckles said.
"Wait, wasn't it destroyed when the Death Egg launched?" Tails asked.
"That's what you think." Knuckles smirked. "Just because it collapsed doesn't mean it stayed in ruin."
"You remade a whole sanctuary?" Amy asked.
"One could say that." Knuckles said.
They came across another portal leading to Green Hill.
"Well, let's go back to Green Hill Zone." Tails said as he jumped in.
"I'm somehow going to regret doing this later." Knuckles said as he jumped in.
"Hey, wait for us!" Popo cried as he jumped in.
"Now why don't we have adventures like this more often?" Nana asked as she jumped in after Popo.
Amy was about to jump in, but stopped. She turned around and stared at Sonic. A certain scene played through her mind at that moment.
(Flashback)
Amy placed one of her hands on Sonic's cheek. She struggled to keep her eyes open.
"Sonic…I don't think I'll…make it…" She was breathing heavily.
Sonic leaned in closer.
"Stop…Robotnik…make him pay…"
Sonic didn't move.
"Please…I just need…some rest…I'll be fine…"
Sonic stared at her.
"Just go-"
Before she could finish, Sonic leaned in and kissed her. Amy, surprised by the action, let her hand drop off of Sonic's cheek and closed her eyes. However as soon as she closed her eyes, Sonic broke the kiss. She stared at him with a loving gaze.
"Sonic-"
He placed a finger over her mouth. He smiled at her and took the chaos emerald from her.
(End of flashback)
"Now that I think about it…did he do that just for the emerald…?" She thought out loud. She shook her head. "No, Sonic's not that type of guy who uses a girl for things."
She got down on her knees. She stared at him.
"I can't shake that thought out of my head. Did he…ohh I just don't know." An idea then came to her head. "Well…only one way to know…"
Amy leaned down over Sonic. She was so close that their noses were inches apart. She made the space between their lips disappear.
"I shouldn't kiss him while he's knocked out." She thought to herself. She closed her eyes. "Then again, he probably won't kiss me ever again." She closed her eyes.
She felt a hand gently brush her quills. The hand then moved to her ear and then tickled it.
Amy opened her eyes to see Sonic looking at her with a loving gaze. She then remembered something. She broke the kiss.
"We should get going." She said. She got up and turned around. She put her hands up to her face before jumped into the portal, leaving Sonic with a dazed expression.
"What a hedgehog…" He smiled. He jumped up and dashed into the portal.
Sonic landed right on top of the hill. He was greeted by Tails, Knuckles, Popo, Nana, and a blushing Amy.
"Someone had a good nap?" Knuckles asked smirking.
Tails walked up to Sonic and gave him a high-five. "Glad to see you're okay Sonic." He said. He then looked at him with an odd expression. "Sonic, you have lipstick on your mouth."
"?" Sonic quickly whipped his face.
The group looked at Amy.
"Don't look at me, I don't wear makeup!" She protested.
They all stood there with a confused expression.
"Let's not think about it…" Amy said.
"Now how are we going to get to Sky Sanctuary Zone?" Popo asked.
"We'll have to fly to Angel Island." Knuckles said.
( watch?v=TBNq1jZOuRg )
"I can handle that!" Tails exclaimed. He pressed a button on the buckle on his shoe. At that moment, a plane was flying over to the group.
"The Tornado never fails us." Tails smiled as the plane landed.
Sonic stared at him.
"Except the battle against the Wing Fortress." Tails scratched the back of his head.
Sonic jumped on one of the wings of the plane.
"This is your plane?" Nana asked.
"It actually belongs to Sonic." Tails admitted as he got inside.
"Wait, there's only one extra seat." Knuckles noticed.
"Well I added it when I met Sonic. We hardly use it since he's always on the wings."
"So there are six of us…and only one seat…" Popo said.
". . .'
"Well I have to fly it, so I get the first seat." Tails said. "Sonic is on one of the wings."
"I'll get on the wings." Amy said, climbing up on the other wing.
"I can always ride on the back wings." Knuckles said.
"So…which one of us will get the seat?" Popo asked Nana.
"You can sit in it." Nana told him. "I can just sit on your lap."
"O-On second thought, you have it and I'll sit on your lap." Popo quickly said, blushing at the thought of the idea.
"Okay then." She smiled. She walked over to the seat. Uncomfortably, Popo sat on her lap.
"Everyone ready to fly high?" Tails asked. "Hang on tight!" Tails started the engine. The plane rolled down the hill. About halfway down, the plane took off. Tails flew in the direction of the floating island.
"Look how high we are." Amy said.
"This is nothing; this plane almost went into space!" Tails said proudly. "One day I'll build a better plane than this one."
"You sure have big dreams Tails." Nana said.
"Someone taught me how to dream big." Tails smiled.
"Just about everyone has a dream." Knuckles said. "Some need inspiration in order to work on those dreams."
"What's your dream Knuckles?" Amy asked.
"I don't have one."
"Surely you must have one."
"As long as the master emerald stays safe, I don't need dreams."
"One day that emerald will break, then what?"
"I'll restore it back to its former glory."
"Can we talk about something else?"
"What else is there to talk about? We're going to get my emerald."
"Look at the island!" Nana exclaimed. "It's flying!"
"Angel Island can fly as long as the master emerald is there." Knuckles said. "Once we take it, it'll crash into the sea again."
"You're not worried about that?" Popo asked.
"It's happened twice in the past year, I'm not too worried."
"Well let's be careful, because we're coming in for a landing!" Tails said.
The Tornado flew higher in the sky. The higher it flew, the smaller the island seemed.
"Wow, look at that!" Amy pointed into the sky.
( watch?v=9bsegdrGPUI )
Floating above the island was the sky sanctuary.
"Behold, for it is Sky Sanctuary Zone!" Knuckles said. "It's pretty fun because it has big spinning platforms and clouds on which you can bounce on. We will only be here for a brief moment so we might want to jump off very soon."
"Are you kidding?" Amy exclaimed as Tails flew through the sanctuary.
"Nope, better jump and hope you grab onto something."
"Isn't that a bit too dangerous?" Popo asked.
"Well then, have fun." Knuckles then jumped off the plane and glided down.
"Knuckles!" Amy yelled.
"Don't worry, he can glide." Tails said.
"Well, falling from high heights isn't anything new for us is it?" Nana asked Popo.
He took her hand. "Nope, now come on down with me." The two then jumped down.
Tails stood up. "I set the coordinates so that the plane will land on the beach. If you don't wanna come Amy, then you can just wait on the beach." Tails then used his tails to slowly descend his way down.
Amy looked at Sonic. He was about to jump, but turned around. He held out his hand. As she took his hand, He swept her off her feet and jumped. Amy shut her eyes, too afraid to look down.
THUD!
When she opened her eyes, Sonic was still holding her. They were on a platform right above the island volcano. He put her down.
Tails rushed up to them. "Looks like you two landed ok." He smiled.
Knuckles walked up to them. "So was that a crazy idea or what?" He laughed.
"After this, I'll smack you with my hammer." She told him.
"Hey guys!" Said a voice from above.
Above the four, Nana and Popo stood on a floating platform. The two jumped down, landed on one of the bouncy clouds, and bounced down to the group.
"So where do we go next?" Popo asked.
Knuckles walked over to a small red ball surrounded by white rings under a pillar. "We'll take this teleporter to the center of the volcano, where I hid the master emerald."
"Center of the volcano?" Tails asked.
"At least we won't have to jump down." Knuckles said. He jumped on the teleporter.
". . ."
He jumped on it again.
". . ."
"Aren't the teleporters one-way?" Tails asked.
". . . On second though…" Knuckles jumped down.
"There is no way in hell we're jumping down into a volcano!" Amy yelled.
"Well how else are we going to get the master emerald?" Knuckles argued.
"Why would you put it STRAIGHT OVER MAGMA?"
"Where else was I going to hide it?"
"Maybe UNDERGROUND?"
"THAT'S WHERE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME!"
"HIDE IT UP HERE IN THE SKY SANCTUARY!"
"THAT'S WHERE IT WAS THE SECOND TIME!'
"Okay calm down you two." Tails stepped in between them. "Remember we are all friends here."
"Arguing won't help us get in the volcano." Popo said.
"So what will we do?" Knuckles crossed his arms.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance." Said an unfamiliar voice.
( watch?v=cDd_GlynA6A )
Standing behind Sonic was a yellow cat with black hair and a red and black dress with white laces. She had long pigtails, and a small tail. She wore red boots and had two small white wings on her dress. She also wore white gloves and red headband. She stared at the group with big, black eyes.
(I think she is very cool)
"Does someone need a hand getting to the volcano?" The cat girl asked.
"Who are you?" Knuckles asked.
"My name's Honey the Cat." She said. "I just moved to this island and I know it like the back of my wings. That's where the big, pretty jewel is, right?"
"What do you know about the jewel?" Knuckles asked.
"It's big, green and shiny. Gotta question why it's over magma though."
"Never mind that, how can you get us there?"
"By gliding of course!" She then jumped on a nearby pillar and glided towards Knuckles. He ducked in order to avoid the cat girl.
"Just stay on my back and I'll get you down in a jiffy!"
"In case you didn't notice, there are six of us."
"Right…shame, I wanted to test my strength. Well we can use my antigravity top!"
The girl made a soft whistle. Behind her appeared a rotating top.
"Aren't those in the marble garden?" Tails asked.
"Yep, but I found one broken and decided to fix it. So do you want a ride or not?"
"Anyone object to this?" Knuckles asked. No one responded.
Everyone got on the spinning top, except for Sonic. He stood there with a somewhat skeptical expression.
"Coming Sonic?" Tails asked.
He shook his head at Tails' question and then jumped off.
"Sonic!" Tails exclaimed.
"He'll be fine." Knuckles said. "Let's just go. Besides, he has the chaos emeralds."
Sonic fell throughout the sky with a smile on his face. As the volcano came into view he knew exactly how to get in there. He got into his ball form as he came closer to the volcano. He fell so fast throughout the air he was shielded by fire. He rolled down the inside of the volcano, leaving a blazing trail of fire. He quickly rolled out of his form and ran alongside the lava on the wall. As he ran his way back up, he noticed a small platform with a bridge connected to it. He ran up the wall and jumped off as soon as he was close to the emerald. He flipped in midair and landed on both feet. He then looked down at the boiling magma, noticing the trail of fire he left. The magma seemed very close to the emerald, which caused Sonic to question Knuckles thought process once again. He then sat down and looked up into the sky, wondering where the others where. He then lay down and closed his eyes.
He felt a small bump.
"GET OFF MY EMERALD!" Shouted a voice all too familiar.
( watch?v=9utFNqhJUgY )
Sonic opened his eyes to see Knuckles standing on the bridge. He looked very irritated. Sonic then looked down and realized he was on the master emerald. He jumped off and gave Knuckles an apologetic look.
Knuckles walked past Sonic without a word.
Nana, Popo, and Amy each ran up to the master emerald.
Nana hugged the emerald. "It's so pretty!"
"Don't touch it." Knuckles said.
Nana let go.
"This thing is so big…" Popo muttered amazed. "How can we even carry this?"
"I'm carrying it." Knuckles said.
"It's like staring into a sea of green." Amy said.
"Wait a minute, how do we get back?" Tails asked.
"Where are you going?" Honey asked.
"Let's just say we're going to war." Tails said.
"We need the master emerald for a very important project." Knuckles said. "We came here to get it from another dimension, and now we don't have a way to get back, unless you have a robot laser."
"How about a laser from a ray gun?" Honey asked. She then pulled out a small black gun. "I 'borrowed' this from some thief and modified it. It was only a little popgun, so I tinkered with it here and there and now it shoots lasers."
Tails walked up to her. "Wow, you must be really smart to turn a popgun into a laser gun."
Honey blushed. "It was nothing really, once you have the right tools you can build just about anything."
"Shall we try it?" Amy asked.
"Not in here. We don't want to set off the volcano." Knuckles said, picking up the master emerald.
The group of seven walked outside.
"So you guys are in a war?" Honey asked the group as they walked. "Sounds like fun."
"Give or take." Popo said.
"Can I come too? Nothing exciting happens to me."
"Can you fight?" Nana asked.
"I can fight, but I never get the chance to show my moves." Honey sighed.
"Well there's no harm in trying." Tails said.
"I don't know, we just met this cat." Knuckles said.
"Do you trust anyone?" Amy asked.
The group came up to the beach, where the tornado was waiting. Honey ran up to the plane.
"Whoa, look at this! This plane…I've seen it before…" Honey exclaimed.
"You have?" Tails smiled.
"Yeah…this plane belongs to the hero of Mobius!" She exclaimed. "Or the villain of Mobius, I don't really know." She pulled out two posters. One was a black and white photo of Sonic. "This one says he's a menace to us all and offers a 10,000 ring reward for his capture. That's doubled if he's brought in dead." The second poster was another black and white photo of Sonic standing next to the Tornado. "This one however says he saved us all from something called the Death Egg." She put the posters away. "I plan to find him and get some answers out of him."
"Good luck doing that." Knuckles chuckled.
"Looks like Robotnik has it out for you Sonic." Tails said.
Honey ran up to Sonic at questionable speeds. "That's the name of the questionable guy! You're a bit more…colorful than I thought you would be. Ok now talk, exactly what are you?"
Sonic stared at her.
"Something you should know about him is that he doesn't talk." Amy said.
"I have ways of making people talk." She then wrapped her arms around Sonic. She stared at him with her big black eyes. "Now can you please tell me why you are labeled as both a hero and a villain?" She asked in a seductive voice.
Sonic looked at her with a nervous expression. He looked at Tails, the Amy, and then Knuckles (who was laughing uncontrollably), his eyes desperately asking for help.
Amy walked up to Honey and pulled her off of Sonic. "I hate to interrupt this, but we have a war to get back to." She said, very annoyed.
"Oh…right." Honey pulled out her ray gun. Sonic placed the chaos emeralds around in a circle.
"Okay…so I just shoot them or…?" She pulled the trigger.
A white laser hit the chaos emeralds. A bright light covered the whole beach.
The group was surrounded by darkness.
"Where are we?" Honey asked.
"We're not entirely sure ourselves." Tails said.
"Look over there!" Amy yelled.
In an uncertain direction, another portal floated. Popo and Nana ran up to it.
"It leads back to base." Popo said.
"I don't see anyone else here, I guess they all left." Nana said.
"Well now, let's get going." Knuckles walked into the portal, carrying the master emerald. Nana and Popo walked in behind him.
"Wait, are you sure it's safe?" Honey asked.
Tails took her hand. "Of course, it's not the first time we've done this." He walked into the portal with her.
Amy walked up to Sonic. "Next time another girl puts her hands on you like that, I won't be so friendly with her." She said with a cold expression. She then walked into the portal.
"I guess I better stay away from Honey then…" The hedgehog thought to himself as he jumped into the portal.
He landed on something soft. Everyone was staring at him.
"Sonic…get off of me…" Knuckles muttered.
Sonic looked down to see he was standing on Knuckles. He jumped off.
"That is IT!" Knuckles yelled as he stood up. "I have HAD IT Sonic! That is the last straw!"
The echidna then charged at the hedgehog.
Next time, Sonic vs Knuckles!
