CHAPTER 2: Annoying Monsters are Annoying
Two months after the fall of the Robotnik Zepplin.
"Ugh...where am I?"
"Hey. I'm glad you're awake! You're in my family dam. You've been unconscious for a couple of months now."
The brown hedgehog rubbed his head and looked at the small beaver in front of him.
"Did you shrink?"
"No, on the contrary. You have grown. God knows what that Robotnik poured on us but half the animals in this forest have mutated. Some like you have been given a small or medium dose and remain as normal, yet some have received too much and are monsters."
"Oh jeez..." muttered Sonic. "Anything else gloomy?"
"Robotnik's Zeppelin is the source of the mutations, but the wrecked ship is also home to the Nine Tailed Beast. He mutated to such levels he towers over the forest. He dictates over us with an iron grip. He is pure evil."
"So you have a mutated demonic beast. No problem, I'll take him out in a jiffy."
"Oh, but not only that, but the City Council of the metropolis, is planning to destroy all these forests, to expand the city. And several animals have been disappearing, and then oddly shaped robots appear. Many witnesses say that it is Robotnik who is doing this, others suspect the council."
"A three in one problem... Well I can't make any promises, but now that I'm capable, I'll try to protect the forest. After all, it's my home too."
"Thank you, hedgehog. Do what you must!"
With that, Sonic dashed out of the small door.
"Not that way, that's the dam's flood gate!"
"Oh shit!"
Fifteen minutes, Sonic was chocking and spitting out water, looking like a drowned rat. He was helped out by the beaver family.
"That probably scarred me for life..."
"So long and good luck! What is your name anyways?"
"My...name? Erm...I think I forgot when I hit my head. You can call me Sonic! I remember being called that once."
A huge orange beast towered over Sonic. It had nine tails, razor sharp fangs and demonic eyes, towering over Sonic at 20 meters tall. It looked as if it was going to laugh.
"Hahaha! You puny rat! You think you can beat me? You must be nuts!"
"I don't think I can."
"Then why challenge?"
"Because I know I can!"
"Bring it on, rat!"
Sonic dashed up a tree, jumping from branch to branch, avoiding the beast's blasts of scorching energy. Once at the top of the tree, Sonic jumped off, aiming straight at the beast's face. He scored a direct hit on the forehead, causing the beast to recoil ever so slightly.
"You got guts, I'll give you that. But guts alone ain't gonna do much for ya!" yelled the beast as he sent another barrage of energy spheres. Sonic was scorched by these, and fell to the ground. The demon slashed at the brown hedgehog, who responded with a dodge to the side. He then proceeded to run up his massive claw.
"Now what? Get off my face, pest!" yelled the beast as Sonic dashed along his nose. He tried plucking the hedgehog but he was too slow to catch up with the speeding nuisance. Sonic then jumped onto the tip of his claw and used it to get a speed boost, and did a spin dash straight into the beast's eye. This caused much larger recoil than before.
"You faggot! How dare you do that? You despicable thing!" roared the beast with such force that Sonic was almost blown away. "I shall personally send you to HELL!"
"You mad, bro?"
"That's it! Prepare to die!"
Sonic ran up another tree as he avoided a giant flamethrower. Once he reached the top, he jumped towards his enemy. He then saw what he had done. The beast's eye was bleeding, if he was hit in the other one, he would be blind. So that's what Sonic did. As he recoiled from the impact, he watched as a white and blue sphere exploded in a shower of crimson. Sonic smiled as he landed on a branch viewing the beast wince in pain.
"Graaaah! Take this you bastard! Take my laser of doom!" screamed the beast as he charged a sphere of energy in his mouth.
"Take what? I'm waiting…"
"This!" said the beast as a huge explosion of energy raced towards the unsuspecting hedgehog. He watched as a beam, no less than forty meters in diameter, rushed towards him. Then, everything went dark.
"Unit 5-B to Unit 5-D. What is your cargo percentage?"
"Fifty nine percent. What is yours?"
"Seventy three percent. I suggest you speed up as Robotnik himself will be inspecting our cargo."
"Hold on, I've found this huge crater, well, it isn't a crater. I'm uploading my coordinates now."
"What's so special?"
"It's like a huge ditch. It's full of fallen trees and animals, which are now in the cargo hold."
"Think the beast did it?"
"Nah, it's too long for the beast. It goes on for ten kilometers in each direction. Wait, I see something. It's a mutant!"
"Good job. Robotnik says we get a 2% salary bonus this month for each mutant we find."
"Was it April 1st when he said that?"
"Hang on…yep. Sorry mate. Pick it up anyway."
"That's what I'm doing. And there are wounded animals everywhere. My cargo unit is full."
"Good, let's not keep the boss waiting. Unit 5-B over and out."
"Excellent work, Unit 4. You have a very good catch. Expect to have more work in the future." said the scientist. "Unit 5, show me your cargo."
"Yes sir!" said a man as he pressed a button. A lot of animals poured out of the cargo tanks as the hatches opened. Robotnik scanned the pile. There was a large diversity of animals and a lot of them. A very good catch. Project Badnik would be complete very soon if they kept on spitting animals out at this rate. He was about to give his verdict until something popped out of the pile. It spat out a squirrel that was in its mouth. It wiped its face on its arm and looked up towards Robotnik.
"Well if it isn't Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"Looks like I'm back where I started!"
Once again this was a pretty short chapter, but I don't want to write too many ideas in one chapter.
Sonic Origins chapters will be written in an irregular fashion, as I will be focusing more on another multi-chapter story. Concrit appreciated.
