Chapter fifteen on its way! Enjoy it my friends! By the way guys, while trying to come up with idea for this new season I've already got the season finale all thought out! I'm gonna have a blast writing it for you all!
Coming up with this chapter was a bit of a pain though, I had NO idea where to start but as soon as I did I couldn't stop! I thank you all for your devotion to this and I'm glad you're having fun reading!
The group of friends was in Jeremy's room. Sonic couldn't help but pace around the room, nervous and thinking. Amy and Tails watched him, worried about him. Shadow was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
"Hey sonic, you gotta calm down dude!" Odd laughed, "It'll be fine." He smiled and walked over to Jeremy. "what're you doin' Einstein?" Odd looked at the computer screen as Jeremy was typing code onto his computer.
Jeremy continued to type and was looking at bits of research on his computer. "I'm typing up a program for Sonic and his friends; we're going to start finding a way to send them home. The only way to do it would be through the scanners…" Jeremy typed away.
Shadow's eye cracked open. "Find a way to send us home?" He walked over to him and put his hand onto the chair. "And how do you suppose we do that?" Shadow looked over to him.
"Well…" Jeremy turned around and faced the group. "I think it's time for sonic and his friends to take a trip to sector five."
Ulrich looked over to Jeremy. "Are you sure they can handle it?"
"Heh! It should be cake!" Sonic winked.
"Don't get over-confident." Jeremy turned around. "Sector five is very dangerous. There will be a few monsters you haven't encountered before and now that XANA has your nemesis' data on you, he'll know when to strike, how to strike and how hard."
Sonic scoffed. "Well, when you put it that way it makes it sound hopeless." He sighed and slumped onto the bed.
"That's not the worst part sonic." Jeremy began. "Sector five is very chunky; there are no long pieces of flat land, in other words. You'd be at a serious disadvantage." Jeremy shot a look to the blue hedgehog. "I don't think you should be the one to go, since you rely so heavily on your speed."
Sonic jumped up. "Are you insane? I don't need my speed to kick robot butt! I've been doing it for years now!" Sonic shouted.
"Sorry sonic, but I just don't think you should go." Jeremy sighed, "I know it's hard not being able to help, but you'll have to sit on the sidelines when we go to sector five." Jeremy stood up and walked over to sonic. "Please understand."
Sonic growled, "Well what about shadow? He's just as fast as I am! Why can't he stay like me?" Sonic stuck his tongue out at the black hedgehog.
"I don't need speed. I've got my chaos abilities to rely on." Shadow smirked and held out his hand, which began to glow yellow. "See?" Shadow laughed.
"Urggh…" Sonic growled and walked out of the room.
"Sonic!" Amy shouted, she was going to go after him but decided not to. She sighed. "Is it really that bad that sonic goes to that sector five place?"
Yumi walked over to Amy. "Yeah, you see how much he needs his speed? There's not a lot of flat ground for him to run on, the monsters would pick him apart there." Yumi sighed, "It'd be best if he stayed and helped Jeremy while we're at sector five." Yumi smiled, "He'll be fine. Don't worry."
The school day had finally finished and the group left their classrooms and began to head towards the factory. Sonic had a pouty look on his face and grumbled while he walked over to the manhole. Amy giggled and ran next to him. "Would you like if I stayed behind Sonic?" She smiled at him.
Sonic looked down at her and sighed, "No Amy, don't let me spoil your fun, besides, they'll probably need you there." He gave her a fake smile, he knew she knew it was fake but he gave it to her regardless.
"Okay then…" She frowned as they walked to the super computer room. "OK, so here's the plan you guys." Jeremy began. "Sector five is a place the four of you haven't been to, you need to listen to Odd, Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita. Sector five is like the heart and soul of Lyoko, it's also where XANA lives, so he'll be at his strongest. You need to be very careful alright?" The group nodded and walked over to the elevator.
Sonic sighed and began waving goodbye. "See ya guys… do your best." He watched the door close and sunk to the floor. "Well this sucks…" he moaned. "Got anything to do around here?" Sonic asked Jeremy.
Jeremy face palmed, "Sonic they haven't even left for two minutes and you're already bored!"
"I can't help it…" an idea perked up in his head. "You know. I DID promise that reporter I'd give them an interview…" He jumped up. "Mind if I go Jeremy?" He smiled, "at least it'll keep me out of trouble!" He smirked.
"Fine, Fine, I've got everything under control here anyway." Jeremy waved sonic away.
"Great!" Sonic laughed threw off his clothes and burst out at amazing speeds from the factory. "Scarlet Garcia here I come!" He burst down the highway, passing people and cars that waved at him. "Hi!" He shouted to them. He skidded to a stop at a map. "Herrmm…." Sonic looked up and down the map looking for the TV station. "Looks like it's around a mile… that should be an easy jog!" Sonic revved up his feet and sped off in the direction of the TV station.
"Bye Mr. Hedgehog!" some people shouted as he zoomed off. He jumped over cars, bushes, even people! He jumped on rails and began grinding one rail after another. He ran up a tree and stood on the very tip. "Aah! There it is!" He pointed at it and smiled. He jumped from the top of the tree and burst down the street once more. He ran up beside a building and began to jump from roof to roof. He jumped in front of the TV station and looked at the very large building.
It was tall and gray, windows on every side and a large antenna at the very top. There were people coming in and out of the building with telephones in one hand and a suitcase in the other. Sonic looked around and found it kind of boring, but shrugged it off. He opened the double doors and looked around in amazement. "Wooaaaaah!" Sonic saw a large desk and a women sitting at it with a phone in her hand.
"Yes… Yes I'll tell Mr. Cooper that his appointment's been moved to 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. Thank you, yes, have a very nice day." She hung the phone up and began to re-write the appointment.
"Hmm. That seems like a good place to start." Sonic smiled and walked over to the large desk. The desk was so tall that you could barely even see the top of Sonic's head. He expected her to notice him but to no avail. He grumbled and fumbled around in his pocket. He brought out a small bell, the ones you see at hotels and set it on the desk.
"Hmm?" The women looked up. "Wh…what the?" She watched him place the bell.
He pointed his index finger up and lowered it towards the small button that rings the bell and hit it several times. He then grabbed the bell and put it back.
The women had a confused look on her face. She leaned over the side and saw the blue hedgehog. She looked at him for a moment.
He had a smile on his face and jumped up onto the desk. "Hiya!" He said.
She jumped back and held up pepper spray to the young hedgehog. "Stay back!" she shouted.
Sonic looked at the small can. "Hmm… wonder what this I—" Before he could even finish his sentence the woman sprayed the can on full force into the large hedgehog eyes.
"AAWWWGHGHH! MY EYES!" He jumped back and hit the floor grasping his eyes. "THEY BUURRRNNN!"
The women suddenly realized her mistake. "OH MY! She ran over to him and picked him up. "I-I'm so sorry! Are you OK?" she shouted.
"OF COURSE NOT!" He rubbed his eyes as they began to water. "MY EYES FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ON FIRE!"
Everyone looked over at the two and began to laugh. Sonic's eyes were a burning red as he jumped from her arms and into the bathroom. "WATER. NEED WATER!" He shouted looking at the sink. He stuck his head under the faucet and turned the cold water nozzle to full. It blasted onto him at full force. The substance left his eyes and he walked out dripping wet.
The women stood their nervously. "ahh.. heheh… sorry…" She smiled nervously at the hedgehog as he walked over to her. He jumped up onto her desk once more and looked at her in the eyes. He got into a spindash on her desk and the water on his body shot out everywhere, soaking everything. He stopped and smiled. "All dry!" He smirked.
She groaned and wiped a bit of water from her face. "I guess I deserved that…" She sighed and sat back down. "Can you just tell me why you're here Mr. Hedgehog?" she asked.
"I want to have that interview with that Scarlet Garcia woman." He smiled innocently.
"Well... you need to set up an appointment for that kind of thing, I mean, you can't just come barging in here and demanding an interv—"
"Oh Mr. Hedgehog!" A voice shouted.
"O-Oh! Ms. Garcia!" The woman stood up, "it's nice to see you!" She smiled.
Sonic jumped off the desk and walked up to Scarlet.
"Oh it's great to finally meet you Sonic!" She took his hand and shook it vigorously.
Sonic blinked, "But… we've met before." He had a confused look.
"Oh of course we have! But that was different, are you ready to have your interview?" She smiled at him.
"Well I guess so, but that lady over there said I had to make an appointment or something." He pointed to her and the woman freaked out.
"N-No!" She ran over to them both and breathed heavily, "No, no! What I meant was, USUALLY you have to set up an appointment but since you're like, a hero, you don't have to! Aahehehe…" She said nervously as they both looked at her.
"Whelp, I believe it." Sonic smiled.
"I guess I do to! C'mon Sonic, Let's get you ready for your interview!" The women took a breath of relief as she walked back over to her desk. While Scarlet and Sonic walked over to an elevator. "you ready sonic? You're going to be on national TV!" She smiled at him.
"Yeah, it'll be nice!" Sonic was giddy with anticipation, he was actually excited for this.
The elevator door opened to reveal a room with red curtains, a blue carpet and two chairs across from each other. "This is where it'll take place Sonic!" She walked over and sat in the chair, as did sonic on the other chair.
"OK sonic, here's how it's gonna go. I'm going to ask you a few questions and you just answer them normally OK?" She smiled. "Whenever you're ready Sonic." Scarlet looked over to the camera's. "OK, Camera one and two on me, three and four on Sonic, I want five to get both of us in the shot." She directed, "you can take over from there!" She pointed at the director and gave him a thumbs up.
"Alright aaand… Action!" The director shouted.
"Hello everyone! I'm Scarlet Garcia from channel six! Here today with me is the hero you all know and love! Sonic the Hedgehog!" The camera switched to number three and aimed at sonic who waved at the camera with a big smile on his face. "How are you today Mr. hedgehog?" She asked smiling.
"I'm doing fine! A little bored, but doing just great!" He smiled brightly and she gave a nervous smile back.
"uuh huh.. well um… That battle with that beast was certainly a memorable one! It seemed like you were having a hard time out there!" She held out a pad and a pencil, ready to write down anything he ways. "Was it hard for you? Were you scarred?" She asked.
Sonic scratched his chin. "I guess I was a little scarred, but being scarred wasn't going to stop me!" He smirked. "It was a little tough, but seeing everyone's faces that day gave me the strength I needed!"
She smiled, "that's great Mr. Hedgehog!"
"U-Um, if you don't mind, could you call me Sonic? Mr. Hedgehog sounds weird." He laughed nervously.
"Of course. So um, sonic! How did you come to be? I mean, you don't look like any animal I've ever seen before!" She leaned in closer.
"O-Oh. Um…" He was unsure of how to answer this one, could he come up with an answer that wouldn't reveal his secret? "W-Well. I'm a hedgehog. I mean, it's in my name." He laughed, as did she.
"But, you're blue! I mean, are there even any animals that have a blue fur color?" She asked.
"I don't think so…" He scratched his chin.
"Well, where did you come from? Were you mutated? Or maybe you're an alien from another planet?" She began.
"Alien?" he blinked. "I wonder if that would be passable…" Sonic scratched his head. "Uhm… I'd rather not say where I was from." He sweat dropped and smiled nervously. "if you don't mind, I'd like that to stay private for now."
"No problem Sonic." She began to write a few things down. "So, are you the only one of your kind here?" She shot.
"N-Yes! It's just me!" He smiled nervously. "Little ole Sonic the Hedgehog on his own in this big world of ours!" He fiddled around with a pencil.
Scarlet looked at sonic. "Hm…" She wrote a few more things down. "And what about your abilities? What can you do? It was amazing watching you battle that giant monster!"
"Well, I can run faster than the speed of sound… I can go up into a little ball and charge at my enemies. I can do other things, but the list is to long!" He laughed as did Scarlet.
"What about your color that day? You were a Golden color when you first arrived to help everyone."
"Oh that?" he pondered. "Well, that was my super form!" He began. "With it, I have increased speed, I can fly! And I have super strength!" He flexed his muscles.
"Could you maybe demonstrate it for us here?" She sat up in her seat, eager to see the super form.
"eeh heh… sorry… I can't really do it whenever I want." He scratched the back of his head nervously. "ya see I need some things to be able to do it and I didn't really bring them with me!"
Scarlet groaned. "Well, that's alright I guess." She smiled. "So, why did you risk your life to save us all Sonic?"
Sonic smiled, "I love to help others. Especially when I'm defending people from others who want to hurt them! I couldn't just stand back and let that monster destroy the school and city!" He gave her a thumbs up and smirked. "Not while I'm on watch!"
"That's great Sonic!" She smiled. "Well, it seems that that's all the time we have!" She shook Sonic's hand. "It was a pleasure talking to you Sonic! And thank you for protecting us against that beast and any other threat that comes our way!" She smiled. "Thank you all for watching! See you next time!"
"Bye! Sonic the hedgehog signing off!" Sonic waved at the cameras and bowed for them.
"Aaaaannnddd…. Clear!" The director said as the camera's shut off. "Great job Scarlet, Sonic." He smiled and walked off set.
"Great job Sonic! I had a blast!" She shook his hand.
"Thanks! You to! But, I have to get going now sooo… See ya later!" He winked and opened up the window.
"W-Wait Sonic? What are you doing?"
"Having a little fun!" He jumped out from the window from the top floor and began running down the side. He landed on the ground with firm feet and burst down the street.
Scarlet sighed. "what an odd character." She sighed, "But I think I've got everything I need for tomorrow when this airs…" She smiled. "Time to get to work." She walked off the set and into the elevator, hitting the button for her floor.
Sonic was doing flips, turns and all around having a great time. "That was great! I had a lot of fun!" He smiled while running back to the factory. He jumped into the elevator and hit the button for the super computer floor and began going to the floor. The doors opened up and he walked in to the Jeremy. He yawned. "Hey Jeremy, how's everything going?" He smiled.
Jeremy sighed. "Everything's going OK I guess…" Jeremy groaned.
Sonic stretched. "Find any useful information?" Sonic walked around the super computer with his hands behind his head.
"I don't think so… it sure wasn't worth the trouble we went through though…" Jeremy rubbed the sides of his head with two fingers. "I've got a headache…" he grabbed his headset. "Alright you guys, I don't think we're going to find anything right now. Cancel the process Aelita and I'll devirtualize you all."
"Alright Jeremy." Aelita closed the interface and waited to be devirtualized.
They were all devirtualized and headed up the elevator to meet sonic.
"So sonic, what did you do all day?" Odd asked.
"I found that Scarlet Garcia chick, we had a little interview and she said that it should be on TV tomorrow!" Sonic was giddy with excitement. "I can't wait to see it!" He smiled.
"Well I'm glad YOU had fun…" Jeremy sighed. "Let's just head back to Kadic… I need some sleep... and some medicine for this headache…" He rubbed his head as they all stepped into the elevator.
"Tomorrow we're all gonna watch my Interview OK? OK?" Sonic grabbed Amy and Jeremy's heads under his shoulder.
"I've never seen him so happy!" Amy giggled.
"Neither have I… and it's making my headache worse…" Jeremy groaned.
"Oh! Sorry Jeremy!" Sonic and Amy laughed as Sonic let his head go.
Hmm, Scarlet sure seemed suspicious at the end there… I wonder what she's planning... And hey, what am I doing ending this chapter without letting ANYONE know what happened on the trip to sector five? That's got to be super important! Oh, but don't worry, you'll found out next chapter, think of it as a two parter! I hope you enjoyed reading! Next time, on Sonic Meets Lyoko!
