Ok sorry about last chapter I promise I'll make it up to you this chapter. I wasn't originally going to do this…but here I go; I will introduce a new character in this chapter. Thanks SonicFreak2008 for your review (I still haven't gotten your answer regarding the choice I gave you last chapter) (what… ChibiRyou200 didn't review…am I losing my touch?) Well don't worry this chapter isn't a filler
Chapter 9 Enter Maxwell
"It was over here" called out Cream
"Am I the only one here who doesn't have a clue what we're looking for?" asked Axle, no one responded.
"AHHH!!!" Cream cried (heh heh, that was funny)
"Cream!" called out a concerned Sonic. Due the their speed; Sonic and Shadow were the first one's there, and due to his suckish physical strength; Axle was the last one there (yes folks; this is Axle weakness)
"He's hurt" Cream said with tears in her eyes
"Who's hurt?" asked Axle as he got there, his question was soon answered when he saw a young hedgehog about his age on the ground; he was albino white with quills shaped like a polo shirt collar. After hearing him everyone turned their heads to him "What?" he asked
"Well…what are you waiting for?" asked Shadow. Axle was still confused until Knuckles said
"Heal him you moron!"
"Oh right" he replied remembering the power he discovered this morning. "Alright people this is only my second time so could you give me some space?" he asked before starting, much to his surprise; everyone complied without hesitation. "Ok…here we go" he said. The last (and first) time he used this power it was on a cut, now he was trying to heal who knows what, but it was possible to see some progress
"Never knew a healer would come in handy" quipped Sonic
The effects of Heal were starting kick in; the unknown hedgehog was starting to wake up. "Uhh" was all he said while struggling to get up
"Are you ok?" asked a concerned Cream
"I think so…" he replied. "Where am I?" he asked
"Earth" replied Tails, but he soon noticed that he wasn't paying attention to him; he was staring at Axle and Axle at him
"You look familiar" said Axle
"You too" said the hedgehog. "Oh where are my manners, my name is Maxwell"
"I'm Axle" (you should know who said this) this made Maxwell pause for a short time, "did I say something wrong?" he asked
"No, no…you just remind me of someone"
This took Axle by surprise "that's people used to say back in my world" he thought to himself
"Strange huh" Titin reposed
"Yeah it is" Axle said
"So…what are you doing here?" asked Amy to break the tension
"Well…I was on my way back home when my ship was attacked, I just barely got to the escape pod in time" he replied
"Who attacked you?" asked Rouge
"You know…I'm not quite sure, he had a weird name" answered Maxwell
"So that's where you got your majesty" (I'll let you figure out who said this)
"Eggman!" yelled Sonic
"That explains the weird name" mused Axle "he's not groused out like I was the first time I saw him" he thought to himself (flashback)
Axle shuddered at the sight of him having never seen him in real life "how is that boll of bacon grease still alive?!" he asked at the shock of Eggman's body.
"'Boll of bacon grease'…that's new" commented Shadow (flashback ends)
"Wait…did he say your majesty?" asked Amy
"Woops…forgot to mention that" said an embarrassed Maxwell
"You mean you're a prince?" asked Cream
"Yep" he replied like it was no big deal
"Enough of this, hand him over" yelled Eggman
"Listen Egghead; can we just skip to the part where we kick your butt and you runaway crying out 'you haven't seen the last of me'?" asked Axle
"Oh come on, where's the fun in that?" asked Maxwell
"You can fight?" asked Axle
"Duh" he replied
"I like you" said Axle
"Whoa there pal, I'm straight (not gay bashing (I don't bash gays but gay bashers (try saying that 5 times fast)))" he said in a kidding manner
"I rest my case" finished Axle
"That's it, prepare to die!" yelled Eggman
Just then Axle ran over to Sonic and whispered something in his ear, both of them had wide grins "hey Egghead I've been prepared since I met you, you're the one who hasn't delivered yet" Sonic said sporting his trademark grin
"Ohhhh burn" Maxwell said
"You know Maxwell; you don't act like royalty" said Shadow
"Why would I? That's boring" he answered
"I guess you're not so bad" Shadow said
Sonic came up to Maxwell and said "trust me; that's huge coming from Shadow"
"Really?" he asked
"Yep" replied Sonic
"This is fun, we haven't started the fight and Eggman's already steaming like an egg drop soup (one of my favorites)" Axle said just lounging about with sunglasses on
"Hey where'd you get those sunglasses?" asked Maxwell
Axle took them off, looked at them for a little bit and replied "you know…I have no idea"
"That's weird" said Maxwell
"I know right?" replied Axle
"That's it; I'm going to destroy you" Eggman yelled in what looked like an upgraded Egg Breaker
"Hey Axle, how 'bot you and take him together" suggested Maxwell
"Let's do it" replied Axle
Ok people that's chapter 9 (I know it seem like I'm stalling but I have a reason; Maxwell is an unusual character so I thought I'd use this chapter to show you his personality) I hope you have as much fun reading this as I did writing it. Once again thanks SonicFreak2008 for being the loyal reader that you are. Alright people; you know I have a poll on my profile (about what story I work on next no less), I thought you would be interested in this one for crying out loud; I mean I'm letting you choose what I do next, do you people even care about that? Read and review but remember if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all (my old catchphrase has survived)
