At this moment, I kind of want to move on to other projects, but I don't think this story's even halfway done. That's what I get for trying to upload a story in three different sections.
Song: Egg Breaker- Shadow The Hedgehog
During Samuel's ring spree, he put on his cloak. He soon expected to be getting company.
"What do we have here? A lamb trying to steal from a wolf?" And there, the fat man cometh. In a floating egg shaped pod thing.
"Long time no see, Ivo." Samuel greeted.
"I suggest you put those rings back where you found them, Blyxil." Ivo warned. Samuel paid his threat no mind.
"Hey, I'm sensing a rather abnormal energy spike. What do you have hidden here?" Ivo was a little confused at first.
"What are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything. If you don't put those rings back and leave Robotropolis, I will crush you."
Samuel chuckled. "Aww. I thought we were friends. I built you a mech."
Ivo wasn't amused. "You built me a mech that my enemies can use against me with little to no effort, not to mention that I have plenty more mechs I built myself." Ivo took a look at a pile of junk to his left. "If I wanted a slot machine I can ride in, I would've built one myself. And my name is Doctor Robotnik to you."
Samuel yawned. "I'll just call you Ivo. Kay? Now… Where do you keep the yellow ring? It's like this one… but yellow." Samuel held up his right hand to show Ivo the ring he got from the Sorean mansion. Ivo took a look at it.
"I have no interest in handing over things my robots dug up for me. If you won't give me back those rings, I'll take them from you by force! The hard way!" Ivo flew a short distance and landed his pod in a giant Ivo shaped robot. "Behold! The Orange Breaker!"
"Orange Breaker? You designed a robot to break oranges?" Samuel taunted. 'Oh, did you come up with that yourself, Billy?' Max asked. 'Shut up. I've got a mech to smash.' Then Kyle butt in. 'No, I've got a mech to smash.' Billy shook his mental head. 'You'd break the robot, Ivo, and the ring. Let me handle it.'
"No! It IS orange, and it's designed to break YOU!" Ivo yelled.
"Hey, I hear you've got a nickname. And that mech is shaped like you. Why don't you call it the Egg Breaker, to match Eggman." Samuel retorted.
"Why you little… You've met Sonic, haven't you?" Samuel chuckled.
"Less talky, more smashy."
Boss Battle: Orange Breaker
"Take this!" The Breaker jumped towards Samuel and smashed it's hammer down, but Samuel jumped out of the way, and kicked it in the back.
Samuel ran up to it and punched through the metal, but his hand was stopped a few inches in. He ran backwards, and the Breaker spun around, shooting glowing spheres at him. "You know what they say! The more the merrier!" The Breaker did this again a few times.
"What's with you Ivo? Don't spam the same tactic over and over again!"
"Your attitude in battle is closer to the one you had last time we met. What changed you?"
Samuel thought about it. It was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't remember. So he ignored it for now and rushed at Ivo.
"Alright. This isn't working. ROBOTS! GET HIM!" A bunch of smaller Ivo like robots appeared on the arena. Samuel wasted no time crushing them all. Kicking through one, punching one in the head, head butting a few, throwing some into others, and off the platform. There are a lot of ways he can do this.
"Alright. Time to finish this!" Samuel yelled. He reached behind him… only to grab at nothing. "Huh?" Then the memory of fighting the black hedgehog returned to his mind. "I lost my staff…" Ivo took this chance to jump at Samuel.
"You're done!"
Stage Clear: Better Luck Next Time
Song: Egg Dealer-Shadow The Hedgehog
Samuel laid on the ground for a while. "You're no good as an adversary when you're like this. Now leave." Samuel got up off the ground. For the first time since he got to Robotropolis, he was serious.
'If I don't have my staff, that's just...' "All the more reason to take that ring." Samuel jumped through the Orange Breaker and into Ivo's cockpit.
"What!?" A holoprojector caught Sam's eye, so he took it and ran off. "Get back here!" He activated it and saw a map of Circus Park. He saw where he was currently, and where Ivo's stashing important stuff… including the ring.
So he dashed to Ivo's main command room. Once there, he found the ring, along with a bunch of notes. They contained data comparing the ring to a Chaos Emerald. There were also video tapes of the the leader of the Chaotix traveling with the purple chameleon. It was at this time when Ivo came in. "Snooping as usual I see." He growled.
Samuel looked up at him. 'Those fools don't know the mistake they made' Max thought. "Your greatest enemy is Sonic the Hedgehog, right?" He asked. Ivo was taken aback.
"Y-yes. Why do you need to know?"
"If you want to beat a bot, send a bot. If you want to beat a hedgehog, send a hedgehog. But what if you want to beat a hedgehog who beats bots?"
"That doesn't make any sense. Sending a robot hedgehog to defeat a hedgehog who destroys all my robots will never work."
"Ok then. Why not build the robo-hog with the express purpose of being better than Sonic in every way? In fact, why stop there. design it to be better than everyone. And be able to grow with them as they become stronger."
"So what you're saying is to build a robotic doppelganger of my arch-nemesis that can copy anyone's strengths? That's… genius."
Song: Empire City Hub Day-Sonic Unleashed
The next day, Samuel, Big, and Ray moved into a house and tidied up a bit. But that was boring, so we're skipping to the day after that. Sam decided they would all walk around town. Big and Ray went ahead because Samuel decided to carve a new staff first.
As they walk through Station Square, Ray sees a group of people walking towards a strange place. "Twinkle Park, huh. What kind of place is that?" As they were watching, Ray caught sight of a cream colored rabbit. Big sees three hedgehogs, one blue, one pink, and one black with red highlights, walking towards them. Next to them was a red echidna and a white bat. The pink and black hedgehogs and the bat were wearing strange outfits. No sunlight was hitting their bodies.
"Hello, my name's Amy Rose. Who are you?" The pink one said.
"I'm Big and this…" Big noticed Ray walked off towards the group. "That's my buddy Ray." The hedgehog's look at Ray and see where he's walking.
"He's walking towards Cream! Maybe this is love at first sight." Amy clasped her hands together and sighed. The rest of the group gave her a look, then turned towards Big.
The blue hedgehog greeted him first. "My name's Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog."
"My name's Knuckles." The echidna said.
The black hedgehog huffed.
The bat sighed. "His name's Shadow, and I'm Rouge.
"It's nice to meet you." Big said.
Ray made it to the rabbit. He noticed a yellow fox, a purple chameleon, and two plant girls next to her. Cosmo? What's she doing with them? I can't talk to her like I know her. She's only seen me in disguise.He thought. He walked up to the group, but couldn't think of something to say. Then Cosmo spotted him.
"Oh… hello. My name is Cosmo. What would yours be?" She asked.
"I'm Ray." He said. The rest of the group was looking at Ray as well.
"My name is Galaxina." The other plant girl said.
"My name is Tails." The fox greeted.
"I am Espio." The chameleon said.
Finally, the rabbit walked up to him. "My name is Cream."
"It's very nice to meet you." Ray realised that Cream and Espio were wearing clothes that seemed to be designed to keep light from the sun from ever touching them.
Cosmo came up to him. "We were on our way to Twinkle Park. Would you like to join us?" She asked. Ray looked at the place. He wasn't sure why, but he felt compelled to say yes.
"Sure.
Samuel arrived at the plaza. He saw Ray and Big in two separate groups. He wanted to go talk to them, but opted for joining the third group. The group consisted of a cream colored rabbit, a green crocodile, a white hedgehog, and a purple cat. He recognised the crocodile as the leader of the Chaotix. 'That traitor! I oughta give him a piece of my mind.' Kyle was about to carry them over there, but Max stopped him. 'We can't really blame him. He was hired help. He had no loyalty to us in the first place, so he can't be considered a traitor. Besides, we can't act now. Not only would it draw attention to us, but we're also not in disguise right now. He doesn't know we're Blyxil. Let's keep it that way.' So Lenny carried them over to introduce them. But he overheard their conversation.
"... she's the only family I have." The rabbit spoke.
"Wow. It must've been hard." The crocodile seemed to be comforting her. That was when Sam was spotted.
"It's not polite to listen in on others conversations." Everyone turned to the purple cat, then looked behind them at Samuel. He only smiled.
"Greetings. My name is Samuel." He looked over towards the group Ray was with. At the head was the small rabbit of the same color as the one in this group. 'That's the girl I met in the woods.' "Were you talking about her?"
The rabbit gasped, and the purple cat had an annoyed look on her face. "It's rude to join a conversation without being invited."
"It's alright, Blaze." The rabbit said. Then she turned to Samuel. She had been studying his face, but she seemed to have stopped. "She's my daughter." This caught Sam by surprise.
"Whoa. You don't look old enough to be a mother. You're what, like, 23?" Sam expected this compliment to go smoothly, but the rabbit winced.
"How did you…" Sam figured this question was coming, so he didn't even need to hear it all.
"I have a gift for knowing how old someone is." He paused a second. Max was explaining something. 'Lenny, what's 23 minus 8?' '15. Why?' Billy was grasping for some topic to change the subject. Kyle's laughter made it a little hard. "Uh… how about that weather, huh?" Max mentally face palmed. Lenny, although pretty oblivious, did notice something. "Um… If you don't mind me asking, but your daughter kind of looks vaguely familiar to me. Would you mind telling me about her?"
This caught the rabbit off guard, but nonetheless, she would comply.
Song: Death Egg Robot-Sonic Generations
Four days passed since then. Samuel was flipping through TV channels. After a while, he found the news channel.
"Doctor Ivo Robotnik is staging an attack on Station Square by sea!" The news lady exclaimed.
"Ivo's attacking, eh? I wonder what his plan is." The camera was zooming in on the cockpit of his machine.
"It appears that his latest machine is being powered by two glowing gems and a strange blue ring.
"What!?" Samuel immediately got up and ran for the special area of the house he set up himself. "Big, Ray, I'm going alone this time!" He put his eye up to the hidden console, and the wall turned, taking him with it. Sam then stepped on the teleporter. He found himself in an underground cave. In it were their three cloaks. Sam picked up the blue one and took off for the beach.
When he got there, the Chaotix were already fighting off a bunch of robots. One robot in particular was about to get Sonic from behind. "Look out!" Blyxil punched through the robot and watched it fall. He looked up to see Sonic staring at him. "Hello again." Blyxil said, then he rushed through the battlefield tearing through robots. "Why does he have so many?" He asked. He looked around to see the Chaotix fighting them off no problem. And here he was all sweaty. "How do they keep this up?" As he was trying to help out, he noticed one robot that stood out from the rest was about to fire a powerful blast at the chameleon.
'Ooooh. Let's watch him fry!' Kyle exclaimed. He was very excited. 'No! It doesn't matter what he is. We can't let him die!' Lenny said. Kyle growled at him. Max was unemotional. It was like he didn't care. Billy saw this, as well as Lenny and Kyle's bickering. He rushed to the chameleons aid. 'What are you doing!?' Kyle exclaimed.
Blyxil pushed the chameleon out of the way and put his left hand up to block the blast. 'That smarts!' Billy exclaimed. Kyle was angry. 'That's what happens when you try helping a bloodthirsty beast!' Blyxil looked back at the chameleon. He wore a ninja outfit and a surprised face. Blyxil looked back at the robot. It was red and black, had a yellow head. It had the markings "E-123" and a weird symbol. Ω. He wasn't sure what it meant. The robot was no longer paying attention to him. It turned to Sonic. Sonic looked at it, prepared for a fight. Blyxil turned towards Ivo's giant mech.
"It's time you gave me what's mine." He said. Then he raised his right hand and called to the yellow ring. He felt it's power surge through him, and he rushed towards the mech. He turned to watch as everything moved as slow as possible. The speed everyone must think he possessed must be extraordinary. "It's working." He looked forward and crashed himself into Ivo's cockpit, and let the rings power collapse.
"What are you doing here!?" He yelled. Blyxil looked at the set of items in front of him. Ivo noticed this and dived for them. "They're mine! These are the tools that will help me conquer the world!" Blyxil simply walked up to him and tore him off of the ring.
"I don't like when people hide things from me. Doctor." He jumped out of the cockpit, but not before blasting the controls. When he landed, he saw a group of mobians holding the robot from before down, and the black hedgehog('Was his name Shadow?' Lenny asked) , also wearing a weird outfit ('It must be to block the sunlight.' Max said.') walking up to him.
Song: Suitable Opponent-Sonic Adventure 2
"Hand them over." He said while pointing at his fingers. Blyxil looked at his hand and guessed the hedgehog was talking about the rings.
"No. I'm not here to fight you." 'Speak for yourself!' "I don't think I ever really did. But you're not getting these rings."
Shadow didn't falter. "Well… that's too bad. Because I definitely want to fight you."
Blyxil stared at him, then at his rings, and the second Chaos Emerald he swiped from Ivo. 'I thought we got both of them. He still has one then.' Max said. "If this were a fair fight, you'd probably win. But I have three Twilight Rings, and two Chaos Emeralds. You won't be able to see or touch me."
"Twilight Rings?" Tails asked.
"They hold special powers. The Chaos Emeralds have unlimited power that a normal person can't tap into all at once, even with all seven, which can give you untold amounts of power. The Twilight rings are charged by the holders energy, so that makes them seem less useful, but each individual ring grants powers on it's own. So which set is better? I don't know. But with all seven of either set, I could basically be invincible. What if I got both." I allowed that to sink in, then actually thought about my words. "That's actually not a bad idea, for what I'll be up against in the future. Maybe I will take your Emerald." I got my staff in my right hand, and Shadow took out an assault rifle.
Before we could start, a terrible feeling stuck itself into very being. I knew what it meant, and I wasn't ready.
I panicked. Big mistake.
