Back again with one of my awesome updates! Ok you had to wait longer than 4 minutes to figure out what happened next, but the wait will be worth it! Guaranteed! In case you didn't know, I'm also writing another story in an odder style…but anyway, have fun reading! And at the end, Review the chapter! I have a feeling you'll really like this one because the actual case happens here. Hoorah! That's all for now…
Chapter 4
So Mr. Wood was ordered to a PUBLIC apology to Tails, which embarrassed Mr. Wood.
And a 5-minute time out in the corner. It was a little ironic that Tails had managed to be better behaved than Mr. Wood. At least to the spectators.
But suddenly, there was a person crying outside. LOUD crying.
The judge heard this and ordered another recess, fearing that someone's Shepherd's Pie had been mashed up.
"I hate it when that happens…recess! 5 minutes!" the judge said as he ran outside.
Everyone followed suit. They also wondered when they were ACTUALLY GOING TO GET TO SEE THE FREAKING TRIAL!
The first one out was Sonic (obviously), then Tails, then the frantic judge, and finally everyone else.
There stood Cream facing a big bully. She had an ice cream cone with no ice cream. There was a tear in her eye. But the tables were about to turn for Cream…
"That's almost as bad as ruining a good Shepherd's Pie!" the judge screamed viciously at the bully.
The bully jumped and turned around to stare at the huge crowd glaring maliciously at him.
"Uhh…" the bully started to stutter.
"How old are you?" the judge asked maliciously.
"Uhh…u-umm, 15?"
"Oh OF COURSE. I should have known. A TEENAGER." The judge growled as he walked towards the terrified Mobian. Unable to restrain himself, the judge then did something in the next scene bothered the author so much, he decided to censor another scene from the story…
5 minutes later…
Court was back in session, but the audience was staring outside at the mangled body outside...disturbing…
But the epic court case was FINALLY starting, and eventually, everyone went back to staring at Mr. Wood.
The judge cleared his throat and wiped the bloo—erm, dirt off of his hands.
"Prosecution, you may call up your first witness."
"Counsel calls Dr. Ivo Robotnik onto the stand."
Immediately, the crowd was in an uproar. Tails declared an objection. The judge called the court to order. Everyone sat down eventually. And the author was using way too many simple sentences again.
"Mr. Wood, how do you believe Dr. Robotnik will contribute to the case?"
"He is a character witness."
The judge rolled his eyes. "Objection overruled. Although personally, I think it won't matter much…if not work in the defense's favor…"
As the jurors started to nod off, Mr. Wood then proceeded to question the fat evil maniac genius.
"Tails, why aren't you pushing to get Robuttnik off the stand?" Sonic whispered a little worriedly to Tails.
"I figured it'd do the prosecution more harm to them to put such a terrible witness on stage." Tails explained. "Do you see all the jurors there?"
"Yeah, they're all just—hey wait, they all have glasses on."
"Glasses with—"
"—drawn eyeballs on them."
"Don't forget, they're all drooling."
"Oh yeah…huh, alright little bud. If Mr. Wood wants to look like an idiot, he can go right ahead."
And the two snickered a little together. They had to look down in order to not be noticed.
"Hey Sonic?"
"Yeah Tails?"
"I can't wait to do a victory lap."
"Me neither. And it's going to be a looooong victory lap. Here better take this chilli dog and eat it now. You'll need it for later." Sonic winked at Tails.
Meanwhile, Mr. Wood was thinking he was an awesome person.
"Yes, Sonic and Tails are looking down and shaking up. They must be intimidated by my witness. My idea is working!" Mr. Wood thought to himself gleefully.
He took another look over his shoulder. Tails was eating a chilli dog.
"Ha! They're doing what fat people do when they are nervous! EATING!" What a perfect plan this was turning out to be for Mr. Wood.
In the rafters…
"Idiot…" Shadow thought as he shook his head. He was reading Mr. Wood's mind using Chaos Control. He was also being snuck in as a medium for one second for what the author was trying to say as shown when he thought "Idiot", but Shadow didn't know that.
Back at the courtroom…
Things were going to get bad for Mr. Wood.
"Mr.—"
"It's Doctor…"
"Dr. Robotnik, in your knowledge of having fought Sonic for a long time, what do you consider to believe to be some of his character flaws?"
"Hmm, well for starters…HE RUINS MY SCHEMEZ!"
The weasel then jolted awake. "You mean your EVIL ones?"
"Yes! And HE ESCAPZ MY TRAPZ! HE HELPS NISE PEPOLE!"
"Uuhh—" Mr. Wood then realized his fatal mistake.
"HE INGUHLFD MII EN A DUSHT CLOWD!"
"Uum, thanks Robotnik, that'll be enough."
"HE MAID ME TARE EVARY HEIR OWT OV MIE BEEUTEEFUHLL HEDDD!!!"
And everyone laughed at Mr. Wood AGAIN and then he looks embarrassed, and yeah you know…
While Dr. Eggman was being dragged out because of his crazed rant from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Mr. Wood then sheepishly went to his table to figure out which witness to bring up.
"How could this happen?!?!?!" Was all that Mr. Wood could think of.
"Because you are a serious idiot." Was all that Shadow could think of.
Suddenly, Tails made yet ANOTHER objection. Forunately, it was an AWESOME objection.
"Excuse me, I don't believe our counsel had a chance to cross examine the witness."
"Oh…no…" Mr. Wood flinched as he heard the request.
The judge sat a moment. "I do not believe it would be safe."
"But we have SONIC here!"
The judge then slapped his forehead. "Oh! Right! Ok, bring him back up and swear him in again."
A non-painful one minute later (not even the bulky bailiff in...you know by now, cannot fail as epically as Mr. Wood does at making a minute painful.)…
Speaking of pain…
"ARGH!!! It's that kid's speed! Even though most RATIONAL people would think it had NOTHING to do with his SPEED, I know that it is the trick to his LUCK here…"
Shadow did a facepalm. And then Tails was granted permission to question Dr. Robotnik.
"Mr. Robotnik, is Sonic a bad person in your opinion?"
"NO! He's the NICEST PERSON EVA!"
"So he's not capable of hurting an innocent old building?"
"Oh he could, but he would prefer to attack my evil robots who try to help me take over the world!"
"Mmm-hmm…" Tails winked at Sonic. Sonic winked back.
"Objection! Counsel is making gestures towards the defendant during question."
"You know what? You're right! And so are you! Look at you waving your arms around at the witness!"
Mr. Wood was confused. "I didn't do that."
"But you did during your turn for questioning…and towards the witness no less."
Mr. Wood slumped down into his chair. Things could not go any worse.
And through that fateful thought, Mr. Wood jinxed it. And things got worse. DUH.
As Robotnik was dragged away screaming again, the roof of the courthouse then fell in right above where Mr. Wood was. The roof's old iron rebar just couldn't stand the humidity of the suddenly 110 degree temperature.
Immediately, Sonic and Tails rushed over to Mr. Wood, who was pinned under a piece of splintered wood. There was a piece jutting out of Mr. Wood's stomach.
"Mr. Wood!" Tails exclaimed as he started to dig Mr. Wood out with his paws.
Sonic did likewise. The crowd started to call the police.
Suddenly, Tails scraped his hand on a black quill. His hand shot back in pain, but he then exerted all of his strength to lift up a large chunk of debris. What they saw next shocked them…Shadow!
Of course the author knew this was coming and expected the readers to know this too at some point, but anyway…
After the shock wore off, Tails and Sonic, continued to dig out Mr. Wood. The wound was worse than expected, with blood flowing out as water in a fountain spurts into the air gracefully and plops back into the bowl like a dancer coming to rest.
Mr. Dix, the judge, then adjourned the case and after the paramedics had taken away Mr. Wood, he gave me a funny look. Yes I know the analogy was bad and stupid. Thanks for the tip.
And the author then diverted his attention to the black hedgehog lying on the ground. As the spectators walked out grumbling at the fact that the stupid roof had to postpone the actual trial, Sonic shook Shadow gently. Shadow stirred a little and then sat up suddenly. He was a little sore, but nonetheless fine.
"Hey, you alright…faker?" Sonic said with a little fake arrogance in his voice.
Shadow was slightly annoyed, but responded coolly. "I'm fine…faker."
"Waaay uncool repeating what I said as an insult." Sonic said with his signature surliness.
"Oh yeah? YOU're uncool!"
"Hey guys, come on, let's calm down." Tails said shyly. "Shadow, why were you on the ceiling?"
"What do you think? I was watching the trial…good luck Sonic."
And with that, Shadow left as soon as he appeared.
All was quiet. Except for the microwave which the judge was cooking Shepherd's Pie in.
Tails broke the silence.
"Sonic?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think Mr. Wood is going to be ok?"
"…yeah he'll be alright. I'm just wondering if he'll be able to continue the trial in the three days he has until the trial begins again…he'll probably just need a little rest and then he'll be fine. That and a few bandages and blood transfusions."
"…yeah you're right Sonic. I hope he comes back ready for the trial, because I know we will!"
"Yeah. That's true…hey Tails…I gotta go, the bailiff needs to take me to my cell…"
Tails's face saddened. And then he brightened.
"Excuse me your Honor? Can we have the court's permission to have Sonic live outside of his cell?"
"He'd need to have someone supervise him…" the judge said mindlessly as he stared at his pie…"
"Well…what about me?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah, you're smart, go ahead. As long as Sonic stays in your house for the next 3 days with you, you are present the whole time, and that you don't start any fires…" He banged his gavel lightly and continued to be mesmerized by the rotating food.
"…Tails, I love you little bro!"
And the two raced to Tails's house, laughing as they ran into the worsening fog (what?).
Once again, the end of the chapter had arrived, and the author was in need of having to write the following, terribly written exiting text. Anyway, why is that PIE so mesmerizing? Will Mr. Wood turn into an evil person gone insane by consistent stupidity happening to him? Why did Shadow wish Sonic good luck? Why didn't Amy stay behind to try to talk with Sonic? How does Tails manage to get all this stuff for Sonic? What do the readers think of the relationship between Sonic and Tails right now? Why did I write this for SUCH A LONG TIME?!?!?!? And most importantly? WHY AM I LISTENING TO PUNK ROCK MUSIC BY "AT THE DRIVE IN"?
Oh, and of course, will we actually get to the trial? Like actual epic arguments? And where the two lawyers are COMPETENT? *cough* Mr. Wood *cough*.
Oh wait, also, why DOES THE WEATHER ON MOBIUS SUCK? And did you actually think that this trial was going to be over with in one day in the story? REAL trials take much longer, so why'd you listen to what I said in chapter 1 when I said the case would be in a day? HMM?!? Of course Sonic and Tails wouldn't get to do their victory lap today! (story wise)
Well! Hope you liked this! See you next time for more epicness! (I promise, I'm going to be writing Scott Turrow quality law arguments next time with an awesome witness, awesome counsel, and EPIC STUFF.)
