CHAPTER 4: Nutty nut-loving nutcase.

A stare down. Between a hedgehog and a squirrel. They were both brown, yet the hedgehog was a more dull brown than the squirrel. Then, a flash of amber engulfed her.

"So...hedgehog! Ready to lose?"

"No, you crazy squirrel!"

"This ends now!" yelled Sally as she charged towards Sonic and landed a mighty punch into his gut. Sonic used the momentum to do a front flip and kicked Sally in the back of her head. Sonic then dashed up a tree, knocking off any branch in his way and tossing them at his opponent. This enraged his opponent even more. She used incredible speed and dexterity to jump right up to Sonic and delivered a kick straight in his face. He recoiled, managing to grab the branch and do a backflip.

"Wow. You're good! But too slow!" taunted the hedgehog, doing all kinds of crazy stunts. Sally responded with lightning-fast charges, which Sonic avoided and countered. He unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, all landing direct hits on Sally, who toppled out of the tree and crash landed on the floor.

"I'm getting annoyed! You...prick!" yelled Sally. Sonic instantly appeared behind her and did a cannonball into her back.

"That's it! Chaos..."

"Sally, hold it!"

Another mutant arrived. This one had one robotic arm and a robotic leg. Her fur was dull red and she wore a black blazer with a flame decoration on the back. Sally began to talk with her, while Sonic remained silent.

"Glad you could make it. Now let me destroy this guy!"

"Is he working for Robotnik?"

"No, he's an ungrateful little prick."

"Hey! I don't see why you should judge on him for personal reasons. For all we know, he could be on our side."

"Listen, Pru! This hedgehog would be useless for our tea..."

Sonic decided to butt into the argument. "It's not like you've done anything to take down the beast or metropolis.

"And have you?" asked Pru.

"As a matter of fact, he has. He's helped those two by stalling us!" yelled Sally.

"Quit bitching about!"

"Hey! My friend may be annoying but you do not call her a bitch! She's a princess!"

"Oh, well pardon me! It's not as if it's front page news!"

"Front page news it is. Did you miss it?"

"I have been unconscious for two months because I was doing hero work and failed!"

"You must suck badly then!"

"That's because you haven't been doing your job!" he yelled, grabbing Pru by the collar.

"CHAOS SPEAR!"

An explosion engulfed Sonic as the spear-like projectile crashed into him. The power ring exploded and Sally passed out. The smoke cleared as Sonic laughed.

"You call that a blast? Bitch, please. You didn't even leave a mark!"

"What did you do to Sally?"

"Nothing. She overheated. Crazy people..."

With that final statement, Sonic ran into the woods, after kicking Sally hard in the head.

A peaceful dam sat in the middle of the river. It was about three metres tall, five long and one and a half thick. All of a sudden, an amorphic hedgehog burst in, disturbing the tranquillity.

"Ah! Sonic! Welcome back. How did it go?" asked the beaver.

"Demon got blinded, I got KO'ed, Robotnik took me to his airship. And then this hippie gang called 'Freedom Fighters' get into a fight with me. They aren't doing a good job..."

"Freedom...fighters?"

"Yeah. Random squad of uselessness."

"The freedom fighters are the most elite gang uprising for this forest! How dare you insult them."

"Well their 'Princess' failed to do squat. Look at this" said Sonic, showing the beaver his burn.

"Nasty."

"Nasty? That was her strongest attack. She passed out after that. I wanted to finish her but reinforcements were there."

"The freedom fighters are no joke. They have set back Robotnik's plans by at least two months."

"Well I fucked up his plans entirely when I left his base."

"Sonic...I have a favour to ask."

"Yeah."

"You are mighty strong. The freedom fighters have brains and brawn. But they don't have enough of the latter." he said. "They need someone who can mercilessly storm Robotnik's bases, fearlessly fight against the Metropolis council, and duel valiantly against the beast..."

"I'm not joining. End of story."

"Could you at least..."

"No!" he replied, intimidating the beaver with his fist.

"Fine...Well I was given some information on Robotnik's whereabouts. He is going to start an animal kidnapping session in sector F-4, so he can create those dastardly Badniks."

"Time?"

"8.30 tomorrow morning."

"See you later then!"

"Wait...not the floodgate!"

"Whoops. Sorry."

Sonic left the dam and jumped up onto the canopy. He briefly remembered looking at a control panel in Robtnik's zeppelin. He knew more or less where sector F-4 was. He looked at the orange sky, with the sun setting in the horizon. He looked ahead and saw the general position of sector F-4. If he got up early then he could set an ambush and set back Robotnik even more. He would need his sleep. He lay down on the thickest branch he could find near the top of the tree and soon dozed off into a deep sleep.

Dawn was approaching. It was two hours away. Sonic had until then to set up a trap. He looked around him and began to meditate. He had no idea what he could do. Then he saw it. A river. A ravine that spread out into half the sector. And a massive redwood tree. Sonic got to work with his idea.

Several soldiers from the Metropolis Army stood in line next to their cargo machines. Ivo Robotnik was there himself. He pointed towards the forest and yelled one word.

"Charge!"

Sonic looked from a nearby tree. He smiled. Robotnik was falling straight into his trap. He ran to the edge of sector F-4 and overlooked his creation. A massive wood dam filled the full 25 metres of the ravine. He held a rope in his hands and hid behind a bush. As soon as he tugged on the rope, tonnes of water would spill out, smashing the robots. He then saw it. Three grey tanks, with a robotic arm replacing the cannon. Sonic's small smile turned into a frown. Then, a tank exploded. Several amorphic animals came from behind them, some of them with rocket launchers. Sonic watched in horror as the missiles hit the walls of the ravine. Any more damage and his dam would burst early. Several infantry surrounded the mutant animals as they began fighting back. The soldiers had guns. The animals had little weaponry. The soldiers had evened out the battlefield, there were around 20 each. A flash of yellow light appeared in the battlefield. Sonic knew what had happened. Sally Acorn was back with another Power Ring. She sent out a flurry of punches, most of them on target. The freedom fighters were powerful when close up, but most of them had been picked off by the gunfire. Deaths on both side left a putrid smell in the air. A rocket then smashed a small hole in the dam, causing a small amount of water to leak out. A voice boomed out from above.

"Retreat! I repeat, retreat!"

Sonic saw the troops running for their tanks. Now was his chance. He could drown a large portion of militia. But what about the freedom fighters? Good riddance, they could burn in hell for all he cared. He pulled the rope, causing the dam to collapse. A wall of water swept through the ravine, destroying all in its path. Sonic grabbed half a hollow tree trunk and threw it into the waters, jumping on it. He screamed in excitement as he surfed down the flooded ravine. He rammed into anything that floated whether it be freedom fighters or soldiers and did a 360 spin after getting airborne on a half-sunken tank. Sonic reached the front of the wave and noticed a few freedom fighters trying to escape on the treetops. He then reached for a vine and swung up onto a branch as the makeshift surfboard sank and was torn to shreds in the turbulent waters. He looked down and saw the land all around flooded by the raging waters. He smiled. A job well done. He suddenly felt a powerful hand on his neck. He gasped for air and turned around.

"Sonic the Hedgehog, I presume?" asked Sally. She had her head tilted and looked more intimidating than Robotnik himself. She sent a painful kick into Sonic's groin.

"Speak! What were you thinking when you pulled that stunt?"

"Quit...chocking...me...can't...talk."

Sally dropped the hedgehog onto the thick branch and took hold of one of his large spines.

"So? Any explanations?"

"My spine is full of needle-sharp pins." he replied, curling into a ball and spinning at incredible speeds. Sally let go and saw the hundreds of tiny cuts he had made all over her hand. Sonic laughed at her mistake.

"That's it! I've had enough of you!" she roared as the tree was knocked over by a rolling tank. Sonic realized a domino effect could wipe out a large segment of forest. With determination, he sawed off a massive branch and held it in front of the falling tree. Yes! It would hold. But the best bet would be that he couldn't. The hedgehog was quickly slammed by the trunk and the branch. Several freedom fighters took him out. Out of nowhere the Eggmobile appeared with Robotnik inside, accompanied with several military helicopters.

"Well, you mutated rapscallions! Meet my Super Adaptable Hyper Egg-O-Matic 2.0 with my Hyper Mega Machine gun add-on!" he spat. "And I see that pesky hedgehog is the cause of this uproar. Fire at will!"

A hail of gunfire appeared, causing the freedom fighters to flee, with Sonic in hand. Sally ripped several spikes out of his head and threw them at Robotnik's face. He screamed in rage as he tried to take them out.

"I hate that hedgehog!"

The freedom fighters have won round one against Robotnik and an unknown army. What are they planning? And what consequences will it have on out brown spiky hero?

Sonic Origins chapters will be written in an irregular fashion, as I will be focusing more on another multi-chapter story. Concrit appreciated.
