Chapter Four: Moving In: A Living Hell
Three days after the long and tiresome battle against Eggman's Chaos clone army and monstrous Rainbow Chaos, the citizens of Station Square were returning to their usual daily lives. While G.U.N. soldier made the repairs as usual, their commander was leading a top secret government project he called Project: Heroes. No one had the slightest clue what that met, but they figured it had something to do with the heroes of the Chaos battle that were suddenly packing up all their possessions and leaving the city. The last time they were seen was when they were boarding a special G.U.N. aircraft, waving good bye to the cheering crowd below. I wonder what their doing now?
"Can't this rust bucket move any faster?!" Sonic complained for the eighth time today. "Shut up, Sonic!" Knuckles yelled and punched Sonic across the face. Sonic growled in anger and jumping on Knuckles, starting their usual daily brawl. Shadow sighed and shook his head at the two imbeciles and their constant fighting. "Everyone is getting restless. How much longer until we reach our destination?" Shadow asked the commander. "It shouldn't be too long now." The commander replied. "Attention all passengers, we are have arrived at our destination and are now beginning our descent." The pilot announced over the loudspeaker. "Perfect timing." Shadow commented. "It's about time." Sonic said before receiving a fist in his jaw. The heroes quickly to their places as the G.U.N. aircraft descended down into a small clearing in the middle of an unknown forest. Upon landing, Sonic was the first to jump out and started running aimlessly around the area. "WOO-HOO! Finally!" Sonic cheered. "Does he ever stop?" Jet asked. "Not as for as long as I've known him." Tails said. "So where is this place you were talking about?" Kumori asked the commander. Sonic was enjoying his returned freedom until he suddenly ran into a secret base concealed in the trees. "Found it!" Sonic's muffled voice called. The other heroes sweat dropped.
"All right, everybody, this is it. Welcome to your new home." The commander said as slowly opened the base door. Everyone, with the exception of Shadow, stood waiting in excitement at what they would find inside. Unfortunately, their excitement was turned to major disappointment once the doors were fully opened. As the heroes walked inside, they found that thing were not as they hoped. Inside of fabulous luxury base of operations, they found a dim-lit, depressing, sewer house. On top of its bad lighting and depressing atmosphere, several floor tiles were missing, a few support beams were missing, and a few rats also lived here. "What the hell is this?!" Kumori cursed. "You can't really be serious." Jet said before stepping in a puddle of strangely colored slime. "EWW!" everyone said in disgust. "You are going to have your soldiers fix this, right?" Shadow asked. But when he asked, the aircraft suddenly took off with the commander on board. But not before dropping a ton of hardware supplies in front of them. "That cheapskate!" Vector screamed at the top of his lungs. "He really expects us to fix this whole place by ourselves?" Amy asked. "It would seem so. You guys go ahead and fix this place up. I'm going to have a little 'chat' with the commander." Shadow said before chasing after the aircraft. "Well, guess we ought to get to work." Blue said before stepping in another puddle of slime. "EWW!"
Omega started his work by setting up the foundation for the base. It was actually quite amazing that the whole place didn't fall down on them the second they stepped in. Omega placed a steel girder on the wall and retracted his claw and replaced it with a power drill. Omega drilled the girder in place and turned to pick up another one. But just as he was about to grab another girder, the pervious one suddenly fell over. Omega looked confused for a moment, but thought nothing of it and placed the girder back. He was about to reach for another one when the same girder fell again. Omega was becoming quickly frustrated and pounded the girder into the wall. Omega slowly turned around to pick up another girder. The previous one slowly starts to fall until Omega swiftly turns around and held his machine gun to the girder. Almost instantly, the girder stands back up and falls back into place. Omega felt proud of himself for his minor accomplishment. Well, that is until the girder fell on Omega's head. Out of anger, Omega fired his machine gun in random areas of the base. Once he calmed down, he felt a slight tap on his should and turned around. Omega then came face-to-face with Knuckles, Vector, and Storm; all covered in bullet marks, with angry looks in their eyes. Poor Omega.
"Ok, the foundation of the place is finally sturdy, no thanks to Omega." Wave said as she glared at the busted robot. Wave then pulled out a large blueprint from out of nowhere and opened it up to show to everyone else. "Ok, me and the squirt..." "I am not a squirt!" Tails interrupted. "Shut up! Anyway, we came up with an idea of what the place will look like when we're done. Since the foundation is done, we should get to work on reinforcing the roof." Wave said. "Got it!" Everyone shouted. Tails then picked up a small steel beam and Storm grabs a larger piece. When Tails and Storm turned to stare working, Tails piece knocks Wave off her feet and Storm's piece hits her in the face. The two hits flip Wave off the ground and cause her to land on her beak. "Wave, what are you doing down there?" Storm asked stupidly. "Oh, nothing. I just like lying on the floor on my beak." Wave said sarcastically. "That's not very health. You should pick up some new hobbies." Storm said, not realizing Wave's sarcasm. Wave jumped back to her feet at stared at the two with flames of anger in her eyes. "Uh, guys...run." Jet advised. Storm failed to understand what Jet meant and was suddenly whacked in the face by Wave's wrench
After suffering a significant amount of bruises from Wave, Storm and Tails landed on the roof to make the necessary repairs. Meanwhile, Rouge was looking over at the blue print when Kumori came in all excited. "Hey, look what I found." Kumori said. and from out of nowhere, Kumori pulled out a fine furnished table and placed it in between the two. "At least that cheapskate commander left us something useful." Kumori said. "Hey, Storm, look at this! What kind of idiot would use newspaper to patch a roof?!" Tails yelled from the roof. All of a sudden, Tails fell through the newspaper roof and landed on the new table, crushing in on impact. "Tails!" Rouge and Kumori yelled at the kitsune. "Hey, little buddy, where'd you go?!" Storm cried. Next thing they knew, Storm fell through the roof as well and landed directly on Tails. "Whoa! Awesome!" Storm cheered. "Uh...Storm." Kumori said to catch his attention. "Hey, girls. Have you seen Tails?" Storm asked. Rouge and Kumori pointed down and Storm followed the direction of their fingers to see Tails tattooed to his stomach. "Hey, Tails. What are you doing?" Storm asked stupidly. Rouge and Kumori sweat dropped at Storm's idiocy.
Down in the basement, Espio, Blue and, Jet were left with fixing the electrical problems with the base. "Ok...what do we do now?" Blue asked. According to Tails, we are supposed to connect the blue wire with the yellow wire to properly align the electricity throughout the base." Espio said smartly. "That doesn't sound too hard." Jet said as he opened the fuse box. Unfortunately, the second he opened the box, they were piled on by an avalanche of blue and yellow wires. "You were saying." Blue complained. "Look, it shouldn't be too hard. All we have to do is figure which is which." Espio said. "Then why don't you do it, genius." Jet mocked. "All right, I will." Espio said. Espio started diving under the pile of wires in search of which wire he was supposed to be looking for. "He's been in there way too long. I have to save him. If I don't make it back, tell Wave I, love her. And tell Storm, stay away from my stuff." Jet said before diving under. "Hey, don't leave me here alone!" Blue cried as he too dived under. Espio had no idea where he was or how long he had been in this electric mess. 'This taking too long. Might as well get this over with.' Espio thought as he pulled out a kunai from his cuff. Espio slowly pressed the sharp knife to a random wire and prayed to god he got it right. Back upstairs, Espio, Jet, and Blue's painful screams echoed through the base as the light returned to normal.
Silver was unfortunately stuck with janitor duty and was forced to clean the strange, unnatural slime on the floor. But Silver wasn't complaining. Silver just sat back and relax and used his psychokinetic powers to clean the mess for him. Just then, Amy came in with a giddy look in her eyes. "Hey, what's with you?" Silver asked curiously. "This place is so amazing. I mean sure it has some problems, but that nothing we can't fix. And that's not even the best part." Amy said. "What?" Silver asked. "There are only nine rooms." Amy said happily, much to Silver's confusion. "So?" Silver asked. "So...that means we all have roommates." Amy said. "Who's roommates?" Sonic asked as he walked in. "Sonic, don't you want to be my roommate?" Amy asked cutely. "Uh, no thanks. Hey Silver, what do you say we bunk together?" Sonic asked. "I say..." Silver trailed off when he noticed Amy pull out her Piko-Piko hammer in a threatening manner. "...I'm gonna go hide under the table." Silver said. "We don't have a table." Sonic said. Silver used his psychokinetic powers to repair the broken table and said "we do now." Before diving under it. Sonic looked confused for a moment before turning back to Amy, who quickly hid her hammer and gave an innocent smile. 'Oh boy.' Sonic thought.
Blaze was left in charge of catch the renegade mice that wander around the base. Being a cat, Blaze had a natural ability at catching mice. Blaze had disposed of all the mice, except for one. "Get back here!" Blaze yelled at the run away mice as they began a game of cat and mouse (no pun intended). The mouse somehow pulled a banana peel and left it for Blaze to slip on. Blaze slid on the peel and crash straight into the wall. The mouse gave a small chuckle. "The little sucker's laughing at me." Blaze said. Blaze dived at the mouse, only to have it slip through her fingers and run into its hole. "Gotcha now." Blaze said as she reached into the hole. The next second, a small snap was heard and Blaze yelped in pain. Blaze pulled out her hand and found a mouse trap attached to it. "Damn rodent." Blaze cursed. Blaze's highly sensitive ear heard a noise from above and looked up to see the air vent opening. The mouse showed its head from the vent and Blaze ignited her hands with her pyrokinetic powers in an attempt to burn the mouse. Unfortunately, the mouse somehow found a bowling ball and dropped on Blaze's head. The next thing she knew, Blaze was seeing stars.
The base was mostly finished, but thing between the heroes were getting rough. Cream and Vector were in charge of painting the base and the two were arguing which color to use. "I say green!" Vector exclaimed. "No! Orange is better!" Cream exclaimed. "Green!" "Orange!" the two continued to argue until Knuckles came up to them and said "Hey guys. "What!?" Vector and Cream screamed as they turned to him, accidentally covering him in paint. "What the?" Knuckles questioned. Knuckles now looked like some sort of red, green, and orange monster. And Charmy thought so too. "Monster!" Charmy yelled as he held his stinger up and charged at Knuckles. "Charmy! Wait!" Knuckles tried to talk sense to him, but it was all in vain. "Take this, you bad monster!" Charmy yelled as he proceeded to sting Knuckles. "AAH!" Knuckles screamed in pain. Vector and Cream stared at the mess they caused for a moment before slowly scurrying away. Knuckles finally grabbed a hold of Charm's stinger and stared at Cream and Vector with angry eyes. "Vector! Cream!" Knuckles yelled furiously. "Vector and Cream gave an audible gulp.
"Damn commander. Who does he think he is, leaving us with this mess?" Shadow complained as he returned to the base. But the moment he returned, he heard, what sounded to be, a fight coming from inside. "What the?" Shadow questioned as the opened the base doors. He was greeted by the sight of a nearly completed base and all of his friends arguing about something. "Ok, enough!" Shadow yelled at the top of his lungs. Everyone stop immediately and looked in the direction of Shadow. "Ok, what is going on?" Shadow asked. The next thing he knew, Shadow as barraged by the oncoming complaints. "QUIET!" Shadow yelled. Everyone was silent. "Listen, I know most of us don't get along very well. Some more then others. But the fact is, we're friends. We help each other in times of trouble. And if we can't work together for something as simple as this, then there is no hope for this team." Shadow said. Everyone took a moment to rethink what Shadow said and figured that he was right. "He's right, we're all friends. As long as we are together, there is nothing that can stop us." Silver said. "Now, let's get to work." Shadow said. everyone cheered and resumed their previous duties.
With the power of teamwork, everyone had finally completed their jobs (with the exception of Blaze) and were celebrating their success in their new kitchen. It was amazing how big their base was. it surprisingly not only had bedrooms, but it also had a training room, a giant laboratory and a hanger with a workshop. And the matter of roommates was settled shortly after by Shadow. Shadow was bunking with Sonic, Silver with Tails, Rouge with Knuckles, Amy with Kumori, Blaze with Cream, Jet with Storm, Espio with Blue, Vector with Charmy, and Wave had her own room while Omega rested in the workshop. "A toast to our new team and our new lives." Shadow said as he raised his glass to his friends. "Cheers!" everyone shouted. "And speaking of team, me and others came to a decision." Sonic said. "What decision?" Shadow asked. "Well, after the way you led us through the day, we have decided to make you leader of this team." Silver said. "Really?" Shadow asked in shock. "Really." Sonic confirmed. "Thanks guys. With this new team, nothing can bring us down." Shadow said.
Somewhere in an unknown location, the alarms of Eggman's new base blared just before an explosion could be seen. Out of the explosion, Mecha Shadow and Metal Sonic were locked in a heated battle. "You can't defeat me." Mecha stated as he dragged Metal to the ground. "Have you forgotten? I created you, meaning I know your weakness." Metal said as he placed his claw on Mecha's chest. In the next second, a surge of electric energy coursed through Mecha's body and shut him down. "Mecha!" Eggman cried out to his servant. But in a split second, Metal appeared in front of Eggman. "W-what do you want?" Eggman stuttered in fear. "Only one thing." Metal said. "To Eggman's surprise, Metal stood on one knee and bowed to Eggman. "To join you." Metal said, leaving Eggman suspicious. "Why would you want to do that?" Eggman asked. "We both know we can't defeat our enemies alone. Only by joining forces can we overcome them." Metal said. Eggman thought over what Metal had said. It was true that even with his clone army; they stood no chance against Sonic and his allies. He had no choice. "Alright, I accept. And together we will destroy that irritating hedgehog!" Eggman laughed evilly. 'fool.' Metal thought.
Somewhere in a dreary dimension, a lone grey castle stood in the middle of the barren wasteland. In the center of this castle stood Mephiles, Erazor Djinn, Black Doom, and the demon of evil, Nazo all gathered around a stone table. With a wave of his hand, Nazo summoned a three-sided chess board with twenty-six figures. One side contained the figures of the eighteen heroes; another held the figures of Eggman, Metal, Mecha, and Violet, while the last side had their own figures. "It would seem that Metal has joined his enemy in an attempt to escape us. Very clever." Black Doom commented. "It would also seem that all our enemies have joined together as well." Mephiles said, referring to the heroes. "I don't understand why we have waited this long. We should have crushed those little pests' ages ago!" Erazor yelled. "Calm your self, Djinn. All good things come in time." Nazo said calmly. "But he does have a point. We have been hiding our existence for far too long." Mephiles defended Erazor. "Your right. We have spent too much time chasing after Metal, we have completely forgotten about our true objective. It's time we made our selves know to the world." Nazo said with a spine chilling evil chuckles.
Heroes and Villians alike have gather together for the ultimate war. But what does Nazo have planned and why do the Dark Rulers want from Metal. Stay tuned to find out.
