Final Fanatic

Chapter 6: Angel Island Accident


When we last left our heroes…

"Wookie-Woo!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

…yeah…

There in front of Mona was a one foot tall black Chocobo. It looked up at the human in front of it with its large round cute eyes and squawked, "Wark! (Mommy!)"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mona screamed and ran. "I'm NOT your MOMMY!" She protested.

"Wark-Wark-Wark-Wark-Wark-Wark-Wark! (Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!)"The little black Chocobo ran after his 'mommy'.

"I tried…"

Kris, who was still clutching to Sephiroth as she slept, woke hearing a loud noise. Her eyes widened when she saw its source. There in front of her was her friend Mona, running around the campfire like a crazed chicken, while being chased by a little black chicken. She blinked once, twice, then she fell right back to sleep (she's a heavy sleeper). Kris woke up again a short time later when she, Sephiroth and Chaos were run over by Mona and the Chocobo.

For the next ten minutes the fan girl, the silver haired bishie, and the water monster watched Mona run around the campfire being chased by a Chocobo. After a half hour it started getting old. So Sephiroth came up with a solution, he stuck his leg out in Mona's path, which caused her to trip (Mona: "AAAHHHHHHHHHH!") and crash into a nearby tree (Mona: "….Ow…").

After Mona recovered and tried to clobber Sephiroth, although it was pretty hard since she was being 'hugged' by a bird, the group continued on their journey…with the Black Chocobo tagging along.

"I'm tired… I'm hungry… I'm thirsty… I'm bored… Are we there yet?" Kris complained. "And when are we going to get out of this FOREST?" Suddenly they ran out of trees, as well as land. "Whoa!" Kris was pulled back by Sephiroth just in time before she could fall right off the edge of the island. "Oh… never mind…"

"What the hell? The island's floating!" Sephiroth exclaimed before suddenly realizing he was holding onto Kris. A very awkward silence ensued before he slowly relinquished his grip.

"Well duh! It's the FLOATING ISLAND!" Mona grinned before it faded. "Wait…if this is the Floating Island/Angel Island, then how did the Chocobo herd get up here?"

"Who knows? I mean…this is a collaboration of a whole bunch of video games." Kristen shrugged.

"You've got a point." Mona agreed before resting her chin on her fist in a thinking manner. "So this is a collaboration of games, eh?" Then a grin came onto her face.

"Wark?" Choco (the Chocobo) continued staring at its imprinted mother with curiosity in its eyes.

"I'VE GOT IT!" The brunette suddenly shrieked causing the other three to stumble. "Our way to beating this game is to collect all the CHAOS EMERALDS!"

"Okay…why did you italicize and bold print the words 'Chaos Emeralds'?" Kris asked.

"Well…I thought it would look cool." Mona replied. Kristen just stared before slapping her palm into the middle of her face.

"…Sonic fanatic…" Removing her hand, "So, how do we even start? This is a demo game and I really doubt the creators even created a real plot."

"Well…we started out on the Floating Island for a good reason. I'll bet we have to find Knuckles the Echidna-OUCH!" Mona held her head where Sephiroth nailed her with the blunt end of his Masamune Sword.

"Can we please get on with this?" Sephiroth asked bitterly.

"Right, right… I'm not sure where the Master Emerald altar is, but I've seen it several times playing Sonic 3, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 2… (Sees Kris slapping blunt side of Masamune Sword into palm and clearing throat) …I guess wandering around in a random direction would be a good start."


So the group began walking in a random direction. It wasn't long before they spotted bouncing mushrooms.

"AH! I remember now! We have to bounce on these mushrooms!" Mona announced. Everyone (except Choco and Mona) stared at the mushrooms and back at her with You-have-got-to-be-kidding-me looks. "C'mon! It's quite simple!"

Sephiroth barely had time to react once the brunette shoved him towards a mushroom.

"WHY YOU LITTLE B-(BOING!)-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Sephiroth yelled as he bounced from one mushroom to the next.

Kris' eyebrow rose slowly. "Um…I'm not sure if that's sa-(SHOVE-BOING)-AAAAAAAAAAAAAFE!" She immediately went bouncing after Sephiroth.

Chaos glanced at Mona and ran straight into the mushroom. "BLURBLE!"

"I know they're going to kill me later, but what the heck." Mona picked up the hatchling and bounced onto the mushroom. "YEEE-HAAAAAAW!"

"WOOOKIE-WOOOO!"

Kris continued letting out a yell as she tried to keep her glasses on and keep up with her bishie. Sephiroth had no coordination on how he was bouncing and almost landed on his nose ten times in a row. Chaos bounced from one mushroom to the next with no problem at all. Mona and Choco, on another hand, were having a field day.

"I'm (BOING) going (BOING) to (BOING) be (BOING) SICK!" Sephiroth shouted as he began turning an odd shade of green. Chaos glanced at him, wide eyed, before bouncing ahead at a fast rate.

"You'd better not throw up on me!" Chaos gargled in his ancient tongue.

About a few seconds later, Mona and Choco caught up with Kris who was getting balanced as she bounced.

"You sure this is a good idea!" Kris asked between bounces.

"Well, it was a good idea before I saw the Piranha Plants!" Mona yelped and dodged before a red and white plant with razor-like teeth shot up from behind her.

"Oh…nice…" Kris grumbled, dodging another one of the snapping mouths. Choco chirped in panic as Mona bounced high enough to clear a leaping plant. Chaos snarled and dodged, going backwards and smacking away any plant that got close to its charges.

Sephiroth's eyes narrowed before he drew his Masamune Sword. Kris' eyes widened and she yelled.

"SEPHI! WAIT! Don't kill it!" The blonde shouted, dodging a plant which Chaos-0 smacked away.

"Why not!" Sephiroth growled (apparently disliking the pet name) before slashing one in two.

There was a silence before a rumble caught their attention. Looking behind, they saw a tidal wave of the piranha plants rushing right towards them.

Out of someone's cruel humor, the piranha plants bunched together to form a much larger one similar to a Cradily (from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire) only it had much bigger teeth.

"Nice job…idiot…" Mona glowered.

"How was I supposed to know killing that weed would make the others do THAT!" Sephiroth retorted bitterly.

"Uh…maybe we should be running (clears throat) um bouncing and screaming for our lives right now." Kris swallowed.

"Good idea…" The brunette nodded before they did the suggested alternative and took off.


Knuckles the Echidna was doing the usual: watching the Master Emerald, sleeping by the Master Emerald, and other things related to the big glowing rock. It so happened he was so absorbed in watching the pulsing green glow that he didn't notice the screaming from the background.

"Ah…what a nice day…"

"HELP!"

"The sun is shining…"

"KILLER PLANTS!"

"Eggman's not here…"

"BLURBLE!"

"Someone's screaming…" Knuckles stopped gazing at the rock and turned in time to hear three simultaneous cries of "HELP!"

"Sigh…great…another Pokemon trainer or Final Fantasy character got into the Piranha Plant territory…" The red echidna glowered before turning away from the noise.


"Okay! Whoever designed this part must have a really bad sense of humor!" Kris shouted angrily.

"I'd scream Darn You Nintendo but I'm a major fan of Pokemon!" Mona yelped, dodging one of the extra heads. Choco issued a chirp of panic before seeing something that made its eyes water: Chocobo Greens.

"WOOKIE-WOO!" Immediately it jumped out of the brunette's arms and ran directly towards the field.

"AAH! Choco what the heck are you doing?" Mona shrieked before seeing the Black Chocobo had dove into a field of Chocobo greens and was munching on it nonstop before finishing up the entire thing and standing still.

The Chocobo suddenly let out a "WOOOOOOOOOOOOKIEEEEEE-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" before running extremely fast towards its "mommy".

"Uh…what just happened!" Mona yelped before she was knocked into a seated position onto the Chocobo which immediately knocked into Kris, Chaos-0, and Sephiroth (In that exact order…) as a way to get them on its back. This almost got Mona squashed by the combined weight.

If one had seen a 2 foot baby Chocobo carrying four different things on its back…he or she would've lost their minds.

"Chocobo Greens are supposed to raise the different status of Chocobo!" Kris exclaimed. "I never saw it having an effect like THIS!"

"You obviously haven't been inside a real Chocobo Ranch…" Sephiroth groaned, turning a greenish color again. "Oh… my stomach…"


So, as the group was riding on that one baby Chocobo, which is quite strange for anyone to view, Knuckles the Echidna was sitting at the Master Emerald Altar.

"(Sigh), I wonder if those bumbling idiots are surviving…" Knuckles commented before hearing a loud Chocobo cry and a dirt trail. "What the heck is that!"

As if answering his question, Choco had run directly towards him before screeching to an abrupt halt. The sudden halt sent Mona, Sephiroth, Kris, and Chaos-0 flying into the Master Emerald which tumbled off the altar and rolled down the hill and into the forest. Knuckles yelped in panic before tossing something shiny for no apparent reason (good old RPG logic…) and running after the huge rock.

"I'M COMING MASTER EMERALD!" He cried out.

Kris was the first to get up and hold her head. "Oh-kay…I wasn't ready for that…"

Sephiroth only let out a groan and clamped both hands over his mouth in an attempt not to throw up. Chaos-0 was half-way through its puddle state and shaking like a blob of jell-o, Choco had fallen asleep with its beak tucked under its wing, and Mona got clonked in the head with the shiny object.

"OUCH! Who-what-where-when-…ooooh!" A pause later, Mona was staring at a spot on the ground which kept on shining every moment or so. "Cool! They added some Pokemon Colloseum/XD stuff!"

A swift moment later, Mona was holding up a green Chaos Emerald. "Oooh…shiny…"

"Um…Mona? You're starting to sound like Rouge…" Kris commented. Mona stopped her senseless stare at the Chaos Emerald and regained her original stance.

"Eh-heh…right…sorry about that…" She shrugged before pocketing the emerald.

"Don't you think we should return that thing before Knuckles comes back?" The blonde asked.

"I don't think he's going to…from the looks of things he's going to be after the Master Emerald…" Mona commented before a thought came to mind. "Wait…if the Master Emerald is off the altar…then what's holding up the island-…"

Everyone stared at each other. Chaos-0's eyes widened considerably in realization and the two girls exchanged worried glances.

"You don't think…" Kris started.

"Um…I remember the island falling in Sonic Adventure…" Mona said out loud before her eyes widened and she slapped her palm into her face. "Oh me and my big fat-…"

(HUGE SPLASH!)

"HELP! I'M DROWNING! HELP! SAVE ME!" Kristen yelled as she flailed around like a retarded Magicarp. Suddenly, Sephiroth grabbed her by her collar and lifted her up and above the water.

"Why don't you try standing up?" Sephiroth said as he dropped Kristen, who landed on her feet in three-foot-deep water.

Kristen blinked at Sephiroth, then leaped into his arms and squealed, "You saved me!"

The silver-haired Bishonen was about to drop her when suddenly he felt something nibbling on his boot from under the water. His left eye twitched, "Chaos that had better not be you."

CHOMP!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sephiroth yelled as whatever bit him launched him into the air. Kristen and Sephiroth screamed and landed on top of a conveniently placed brunette and the water monster.

CRASH!

"You know, this is starting to get old." mumbled Mona who was underneath the pile. Choco swam past her like a goose, chucking happily.

Sephiroth groaned and lifted his leg, glaring at the piranha fish from Mario Bros. that had its teeth sunk into his foot.

THWAK! The fish went flying towards the horizon and disappeared with a starry ting.

The pile managed to pull themselves together…err… apart I should say, and looked around at the damage. The once-floating island was half-sunk in the middle of an ocean, flooded, crumpling and in total disarray.

"We are in deep, major, doo-doo." said Mona.

"Why?" Kristen asked.

"Well for one thing THE ISLAND IS SINKING AND WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN!" Mona yelled, causing everyone to go temporarily deaf. "Eh…not to mention here could be a peeved echidna just waiting to kill us."

"Oh, that would be a problem," Kristen said as Mona suppressed the urge to hit her. "I wonder what will happen to the Chocobo…" Then a noise caused the blond to turn around. There behind them was a line of Chocobo marching single-file to the water. One by one they jumped in and swam like a flock of ducks. "Okay, I'm not even going to ask about that and..."

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE MASTER EMERALD HAPPENED TO MY ISLAND!"

Everyone tried to suppress their laughter at the sight of the angry echidna hopping angrily on top of his Master Emerald, which was floating in the water. They would have actually laughed too if a Gyarados hadn't leaped out of the water and swallowed Knuckles and the Emerald whole.

"Um, I don't think we'll be seeing him for a while," said Sephiroth as he sweat-dropped.

Then the Gyarados turned to them.

"Not good." Chaos yelped.

"WhatarewegonnadoWhatarewegonnadoWhatarewegonnadoWhatarewegonnado!" Kristen jabbered in panic as the Gyarados raced towards the sinking, flooded island.

Then suddenly Sephiroth sprouted black feathered wings (the ones he was famous for in Kingdom Hearts). "Now these things have a purpose." He grabbed the two girls, the Chocobo (actually it was in Mona's arms at the time), and the water monster and took off into the air as the sea serpent pokemon crashed into the island, causing it to sink completely. "Man, you girls aren't as light as you look." Sephiroth said when they were clear from danger.

"Are you saying I'm fat!" Mona growled. She grabbed Chaos, who somehow turned into an ice mallet. Before the bishie could respond, she whacked him with the Chaos-mallet. That's when she remembered that Sephiroth was flying and carrying them hundreds of miles above the sea. "Oh CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD!"

SPLOOT!

Thankfully they landed close to dry land which they scurried onto.

"We're alive! We're ALIVE!" Mona wailed before kissing the ground causing Kris to stare and shuffle away.

"No thanks to you…" Chaos grumbled, crawling past them.

"That and…will you stop kissing the ground!" Sephiroth yelled, still peeved that she was the one who hit him with a mallet. Mona abruptly looked up and wiped the sand off her face. "Thank you! And we're stuck in who knows where!" He finished, having his wings disappear.

"Well…we can always wander in a direction for our search for civilization and the Chaos Emeralds." Mona pointed out causing everyone (except Choco) to glare. "Shutting up…"


At least a few minutes after the group wandered in a direction, Knuckles the Echidna scurried out of the water onto the beach coughing and gasping for air. One would notice the Gyarados saliva and sea water covering him from head to foot.

"Oh…just wait till I get my hands on those guys…uugh…at least the Master Emerald's in one piece…" Knuckles began feeling the ground beside him before his eyes widened. The echidna turned towards the ocean in time to see the Gyarados that had swallowed him spit out the Master Emerald before it shattered and its shards flew all over the place.

Of course Knuckles was twitching a whole lot.


Chaos-0 paused and looked back towards the beach causing the group to stop and look at it.

"What's up Chaos?" Kris asked.

"Ah… I think the Master Emerald just broke…and Knuckles is going to kill us once he catches up." Chaos-0 gargled before ushering the group forwards.

"Why should I be worried? It's just an echidna." Sephiroth commented.

"Actually Sephiroth…" Mona turned to him, halting Chaos-0's ushering. "That echidna is strong enough to snap you in two pieces-…"

"I'LL GET THOSE MORONS!" Knuckles was heard bellowing before a huge dirt trail was seen as he dashed towards them.

"…and we will now run screaming for our lives…" The brunette finished, her eyes widening.

"Why not apologize and say it was an accident?" Kris asked.

"Well… (1) You cannot reason with an angry echidna, and (2) he's hell bent on killing us." Mona explained, still having a huge urge to run. "And the Master Emerald's broken so that's a big plus to him going to maul us…"

"Got it…" Kris replied before the group backed up and sprinted away from the echidna who was yelling profanities and threats the entire time.

To be continued


Knuckles: (still chasing Chaos-0, Choco, Kris, Mona, and Sephiroth) JUST YOU WAIT! I'M GONNA… RAAARGH!

Mona: How long should we keep running!

Kris: Until the next chapter gets updated!

Mona: And that's going to be a while…yes?

Kris: (Nods)

Mona: Aw crap…
