You also may notice one of the "new" monsters in this chapter! If you do then you've played of my favorite sonic games!
Jeez, an entire month to write this one? Shame on me. EDIT: it just dawned on me that I forgot to put knuckles in this story ^^; sorry bout that...
Before sonic's departure…
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.
Jeremy rolled his eyes. "That should keep him busy for a couple of hours…" Jeremy turned his attention to the super computer. "Alright everyone, let's get ready for this. I'll be virtualizing you three directly into sector five." Jeremy began typing on the super computer. "Odd, Yumi and Ulrich, you three in first."
The three scanner doors opened. Odd, Yumi and Ulrich stepped in and turned around.
"Scanning." Jeremy typed on his keyboard. "Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Ulrich, Transfer, Yumi." Jeremy smiled. "Scanner, Odd. Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Yumi." Jeremy hit a few more keys and hit enter. "Virtualization!"
The three friends appeared above the blue sector and fell to their knees below. "We made it here alright Jeremy." Ulrich stood up and looked around. "Go ahead and send everyone else." Ulrich walked around the spinning room and watched as the rest of the group virtualized.
"Alright you three, Listen to Odd and the others. Do what they tell you alright? There's a timer you have to press or this mission will be a bust!" Jeremy spoke into his headset. "A path should be visible in just a few moments! Get ready!"
The room's spinning began to slow down as sections began to stop and reveal a pathway. "GO!" Jeremy shouted.
The group dashed towards the pathway that led to a larger room. There were rectangular pillars floating in the air and small openings for monsters to come out of. "OK everyone, start looking for that timer!"
The group spread out and began to look for the elusive timer button that would stop the countdown and stop the area from kicking the group out of the sector for an entire 24 hours. Ulrich used his swords to latch onto the sides and climb his way up some of the ledges. Odd used his cat claws to run up the sides of the ledges and pull himself up.
"You guys have three minutes! So get to it!" Jeremy typed away at his keyboard, looking at his screen for monsters. "Guys! Monsters, heading your way! They're creepers, so keep on your guard!"
(Authors note: Not the creepers from minecraft. These creepers are snake like monsters that use their mouths to shoot lasers)
"Odd, Tails, deal with those creepers while we find the timer!"
Odd gave a thumb's up and ran next to tails. "Let's go tails!" Odd jumped up onto the wall and began to climb with his sharp claws, Tails followed while spinning his two tails together and taking into the air. Odd jumped up onto the ledge and held out his fist. "Laser arrow!" He shouted and fired several towards the creepers. Three out of the four he shot made contact, causing the monsters to explode.
"Hiiyaaa!" Tails fired his arm cannon several times and hit two more beasts, causing them to explode.
"Great job you two! Keep covering for the team!" Jeremy smiled and continued looking for the key.
"Hey! There it is!" Yumi pointed up to it. "How much time do we have left?"
Jeremy looked at the countdown. "Thirty seconds! Get moving!" Jeremy shouted.
Ulrich took a step back. "It's mine! Super sprint!" He shouted as he burst forward with intense speed. He began to run up a wall and jumped side by side.
"Ten seconds!" Jeremy grabbed the computer in fear.
"HYAAA!" Ulrich slapped the button with all his might. The rings around it glowed white and the button sunk into its slot.
Jeremy sunk into his chair. "Shooo… nice job Ulrich…" Jeremy wiped some sweat from his forehead and sat back up into his chair. "Alright, the key's been activated so start heading towards the data interface. Maybe XANA will have some info on how to get Sonic's friends back to their world.
The group walked over to the end of the room where a platform had been spinning around the giant sphere. They watched it pass once as Ulrich stepped out in front. "When I so go, we jump… OK?" He looked back at everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement and waited for Ulrich's signal. "OK… Ready?" They all bent their knees, "JUMP!" He jumped and the group followed him.
The platform swung around the sphere going in all directions. The moving platform slowed to a stop at a ledge. The group jumped onto the ledge and watched Aelita run to the edge of the ledge. A screen appeared and she began to place her hands onto it. "Alright Jeremy, I've accessed the Database. Get ready to begin downloading."
"Let's hope we don't get any viruses!" Odd quickly snapped in.
Everyone looked at him with a 'seriously?' face.
He frowned. "Well I thought it was funny…"
Ulrich rolled his eyes. "Alright Aelita, I'm ready!" Jeremy spoke into the microphone. "OK, now you all have to protect Aelita while she gets the files we need to send you home, or if they're of any use at all."
"Got it." Shadow gave a thumbs up and looked around and waited for something to happen.
Time passed and for a while nothing happened. But suddenly, Jeremy's screen started to flicker. "You guys! Heads up! Three mantas are headed your way!" He shouted.
Odd jumped up onto his feet and stretched. "Took them long enough…"
"How's the data download going Aelita?" Jeremy quickly asked.
"I'm not finding anything useful…" She sighed. "But I'll keep looking!"
The mantas were closing in on them fast. Their wings were a light blue color while their bodies were mainly white. Below their face a bright red laser charged up and all three mantas fired at once. The group jumped out of the way. Shadow took a step back and watched it fly passed them. "Leave this one to me…" His rocket shoes began giving off smoke and soon he took into the air, did a back flip and burst towards the flying manta.
"Jeremy! Vehicles!" Yumi shouted.
"Already on it Yumi!" Jeremy was typing keys and soon digital vehicles appeared next to the group.
Odd's overboard, Yumi and Aelita's overwing and Ulrich's Overbike. "All ready for you guys!" He smiled.
"Thanks Jeremy!" Odd jumped onto his board and watched the other two mantas fly overhead. "C'mon Yumi! We're gonna miss out on all the fun!" Odd burst towards the mantas as Yumi jumped onto her overwing.
She looked back at tails, "Hey tails, want a lift?" She brought out her hand with a smile.
"Sure would! I'll cover you from the back!" He jumped on the back of her overwing and cocked his arm cannon. "Amy! You cover Aelita down here OK?"
Amy nodded and watched for oncoming enemies.
"I'll keep an eye out for any enemies you might not be able to get OK Amy?" Ulrich drove around the air with this overbike. She gave Ulrich a thumbs up and waited.
"Wooo! This is great! We can just deal with these few monsters and be back before…" Odd looked up ahead of them. "H-Hey Jeremy?"
"Yeah Odd?"
"W…What are those things?" He pointed ahead of him towards a few black specs that began to get closer and closer.
Jeremy looked onto his screen and ahead of Odd and Shadow. "what the…" Jeremy typed onto his computer and tried to figure out what kind of monster was heading towards Odd and Shadow "O-Odd! I have no idea what those things are! But whatever they are, they're dangerous! So don't take them lightly!"
They flew past the group with insane speed and quickly did a U-Turn to turn their attention back to them. They were behind Yumi and Tails, who looked at them closely. "Wait a minute…" Tails muttered. "I know these things!"
The new monsters flew behind tails and Yumi with incredible speed; They were blue and had two wings on each side of their body. They had small guns for stingers on their bottoms and began to fire.
"They're buzz bombers! One of Eggman's designs! But, these seem much more dangerous…" Tails readied his arm cannon. "Be careful! I don't know what kind of changes he's made to these things!" Swerving left and right Yumi dodged the lasers as best as she could. Tails aimed his Arm cannon at the hornets and fired balls of energy towards them. They maneuvered better than they did when eggman programmed them and were more vicious than they had ever been.
Shadow burst forward with intense speed, an air battle between the manta and the ultimate life form had begun and shadow seemed to have the upper hand. It fired several lasers towards the black hedgehog who dodged them with ease. "Chaos… SPEAR!" He fired a yellow bolt of energy and it struck the wing of the blue manta. It spiraled out of control and exploded. "heh…" He smirked and looked behind him. Two buzz bombers were on his tail, he grunted and burst forward.
Amy was with Aelita and watched as two creepers, along with a tarantula were closing in on them. "Don't worry Aelita! I've got your back!" Amy growled. Amy's giant hammer appeared in her hands and she held onto it tightly.
The three monsters roared and began to fire their deadly lasers at the group.
"Hiyaa!" using her giant hammer she swung violently and continuously bashed away the lasers. She took a step forward as they started firing again. She jumped up into the air and got into a spiral, her hammer spinning along with her and ricocheting the lasers off her and back towards the monsters, hitting them several times. "YAAA!" She swung her giant hammer and smashed one of the creepers. She swung her hammer back and smacked both of the monsters off the ledge. She smirked. "Don't mess with me!" She winked at the falling monsters and looked back to Aelita. "How's it coming along?"
Aelita sighed. "Not so good… I still haven't found anything… W-Wait… I think… I think I might have found something! Keep them busy for just a little while longer!" Aelita's hands began to look frantically on the small screen.
Ulrich flew around the small ledge Aelita and Amy were on keeping more buzz bombers at bay while the group fended off the others.
Odd maneuvered around the large sphere with his overboard, he was fast enough to stay a safe distance from the buzz bombers. "Laser arrow!" He fired several and knocked one out of the air. "yeaaah!" he smirked. "One down two to go!" Odd did a loop de loop and went straight towards the ground and the buzz bombers followed with eagerness.
"HIIYAA!" Yumi tossed both of her fans towards two buzz bombers, one dodged while the other was struck in the wing and spiraled into oblivion. It fired a few times as it fell and stuck tails in the arm. "ARRGH!" He shouted.
"Tails, are you OK?" Yumi shouted.
Tails nodded and began to fire back at the two that were still behind them. "URRGH… Take this!" He charged up his cannon and fired a large energy ball that exploded next to the buzz bombers and caused them to devirtualize. "hah! Take that!" Tails laughed in triumph.
The group had finished off the rest of the buzz bombers and figured that their job had been finished. Jeremy's screen began to flash a violent red, causing him to look at the screen. "What the… You guys! ANOTHER new monster!
Amy looked over at the wall of where the ledge was connected and a door slowly opened up. Floating there was a large metal ball and under it were four jets that allowed it to float in mid-air. It had three shoots on the top of its body and a flame thrower on the front of its body. It was a dark gray and was beginning to creep in on Amy and Aelita. Its three shoots opened up and out fired several Missiles that flew in all directions, trying to find the lyoko warriors.
"Watch out you guys! I'm sure that if one of those hit you you're devirtualized!" Jeremy shouted into the mic.
The missiles were flying around the entire facility, distracting most of the lyoko warriors, keeping them away from it while it began floating over to Amy and Aelita. "Don't worry Aelita! I've got you covered!" Amy gripped her hammer and growled. "If you want her, you'll have to go through me first!" Amy charged with all her might towards the metal beast. It fired a missile, she quickly twirled and dodging the missile as it hit the ledge. She jumped up into the air and smacked the giant machine with here hammer. It flashed white and then blasted her with fire. "AAAGGHH!" She screamed as she flew back and hit the ground.
"Amy! You're losing points every second!" The fire had ignited Amy, and every second she was losing a life point. "Well, on the bright side you DID manage to damage it… but it's got a lot of points! 200 to be exact! Well, now it's down to 170…" Jeremy sighed
Amy stood up and whipped off the small flames that were on her digitalized clothing, thus, she stopped losing life points. "Jeremy, how many do I have left?"
"You've got 85 life points life Amy. Be careful." He quickly said.
She smirked. "I won't let this tin can get me down!" She ran towards it again, dodging two fire blasts and striking it twice more before jumping back away from its dangerous flame throwers. It flashed white twice again as it floated backwards.
"It's down sixty life points Amy! Only 110 more to go!"
The flame thrower on the front of it receded back into its body and out replaced a new nozzle.
She stood there and waited for something to happen. "What's it planning…?" She thought to herself.
Suddenly, a flaming cannon ball fired out and smacked Amy in the chest and launched her into the air and exploded, causing even more damage to her. She fell and rolled onto the ground. She lied there for a moment but groaned and struggled to get up.
"Amy! That took 50 life points away from you! You're down to 35 now!"
She used her hammer to regain her balance and struggled to stay standing. The metallic monster fired more missiles into the air to continue distracting the other lyoko warriors. Amy's vision was blurred, the explosion was a lot for her to take in and she was having trouble regaining her composure.
The nozzle made a cocking sound; it was ready to fire again. Amy knew she didn't have the strength to bat it away so she was standing in front of Aelita to take the blow. The robot fired its fiery cannon ball once more. Amy closed her eyes and waited for it to hit her but after a few moments passed, nothing happened. She opened her eyes to see a figure standing in front of her.
"Hey Amy!" Ulrich turned to her and smiled; his sword in hand. "Sorry I couldn't help sooner! Don't you worry, I'll handle this thing!" Amy looked behind her to see Ulrich's machine colliding with one of the missiles and watched it explode. She looked over to Ulrich and smiled. She saw the two halves of the fiery cannon ball that son devirtualized
"Thanks Ulrich…" she sighed and fell onto her bottom to rest.
"Triangulate!" He shouted as two more of him appeared. "Attaaack!" He shouted as the three ran towards the metal monster as it fired three missiles. One struck his clone, the other two they dodged as they jumped into the air. "Impact!" Ulrich sunk his swords deep into the monster and it flashed white once more. They jumped away but his clone was shot with a quick flame thrower blast and devirtualized. Ulrich skidded onto the ground and sunk his sword into the ground. He waved his hand, signaling the beast to "bring it on"
The flamethrower gun transformed into the cannon fire once more and fired its deadly cannon ball. Ulrich smiled and grabbed the handle of his sword and began to run around it. "Super sprint!" he shouted as he began to rapidly run around in circles around his sword. The ball soon reach Ulrich as he was running around in a circle. Using the speed he accumulated Ulrich snatched the ball from the air and threw it back towards the beast he then took the sword out of the ground and launched it like a spear towards the beast. The cannon ball hit the beast, exploded and finally the sword sunk into its body, the metal monster flashed white several times and then exploded into pieces. Ulrich smirked and walked over to Amy and Aelita. "You two OK?" He asked, holding his hand out to Amy.
Amy smiled and took his hand, standing up. "Yeah… I'm ok… Just a bit tired." She looked over to Aelita who was still looking at the console. "Aelita, find anything?" Amy asked hopefully.
She sighed, "No, I don't think so…" Aelita groaned and stopped searching.
Two metal doors opened up and out of them walked the blue hedgehog himself. Sonic yawned and walked over to Jeremy. "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.
