Every chapter longer than the next so far. WHICH IS GREAT! Once again I must say thank you for reading this story if you are. I wont be updating the story until next Friday sadly thanks to house rules but I'll put up chapters when it gets to Friday again! So dont worry.
All Characters (Except Jo-Cher) are mine in this story.
A couple of actual books in this chapter but they are not mine.
Enjoy!
Surf messed with the room for what seemed like forever. He fell asleep on the all wool couch after watching T.V., depleting the food supply in the fridge, trying out the massage chairs, and reading some books. He fell asleep reading Hunger Games, next to the couch there was burned up book. You could barely make out the words "Twilight".
Surf was still sleeping with the Hunger Games book on his face when Snowy entered the room. He was holding a cup full of ice and stop next to Surf. He dumped the ice on Surf and a second later he sat straight up yelling.
"I DIDN'T DO IT!"
Surf looked to his side and calmed down seeing Snowy.
"Oh hey…" Surf said as he wiped the ice off of him.
"The Course is ready." Snowy said plainly.
"Well it seems that someone lost their happy." Surf joked.
Snowy said nothing and left the room.
"Hey where are you going!?" Surf yelled out to him.
"Follow…" Snowy replied with no feeling.
Surf was confused with Snowy's weird behavior but he followed him anyway. They walked through the white hallway in silence. Then Surf decided to break the silence.
"Sooo why so dull Snowy?"
Snowy didn't speak and Surf thought he wouldn't answer. That was until Snowy said.
"The course has three sections Surf. You need to be agile, smart, and alert at all times."
Surf didn't expect an answer like that but it was better than Snowy not talking. Snowy continued.
"The sections, The Dodge, The Slide, and The Fight, are extremely dangerous so you can't let your guard down. Especially not during The Fight."
"Who am I fighting? Jo-Cher? I beat her at fighting before though." Surf said.
"You will wish you were fighting Jo-Cher when you meet your opponent." Snowy said.
Surf kind of got worried at Snowy's response to that. Was he fighting a robot? Or some kind of dangerous animal? But an animal can't be more dangerous than Jo-Cher so he thought it had to be some other Mobian.
Surf kept thinking who he was going to fight as Snowy stopped talking. They arrived at a metal door. Snowy walked toward the door and it opened upward. They both entered the room seeing that there were other scientists in the room. Surf over heard some of the scientists talking to each other.
"Is that experiment 0934? He looks pretty scrawny if you ask me."
"He is going to die in The Course no question about it."
"We spent our money on him!? We've wasted so much money…"
Surf was getting angry at what they were saying about him.
'Why must people doubt…' Surf thought bitterly as he continued to follow Snowy.
Snowy was worrying about Surf because of how brutal the scientist made The Course. He was even more worried about who he will be fighting if he made it through the first two sections.
HOURS EARLIER…
"Are you insane Foreman?!" Snowy shouted at a husky dog.
The husky and or Dr. Foreman just had a dull expression with just a tiny bit of anger.
"Our decision is final. He will be fighting Subject 217, if he makes it that far that is." Dr. Foreman said after he looked up from his clip board.
"But Surf won't have a chance against that blood thirsty killer!" Snowy exclaimed.
"Well then we'll be needing a body bag after the fight. Don't you agree?" Dr. Foreman replied.
Snowy opened his mouth to argue some more but Foreman interrupted.
"We won't be changing our decision anytime soon, Dr. Ricardo."
Foreman returned to writing confusing things on his clip board paper not expecting Snowy/Dr. Ricardo to say anything more.
Snowy and or Ricardo closed his mouth and admitted defeat. He left the room mumbling a prayer for Surf.
BACK TO PRESENT TIME
Snowy stopped in front of another metal door. This had a dial pad next to it though.
"Through this door Surf is The Course. I can't tell you anymore than that it has those three sections since it is against the rules. All I have to say is… good luck and don't die." Snowy then dialed a password into the pad and the door opened. Inside was another white room much like the room that Surf learned his abilities. The only difference was that he could see the walls on the side. He couldn't see the other side though.
Surf entered the ominous room and the door closed immediately afterwards. Surf was wondering what The Course is. Is it just walking to the other side or are things going to pop out of the ground. Then he heard someone talking from a hidden speaker.
"Experiment 0934, you have entered the first part of The Course and you are in grave danger. To pass this section you must get to the other side. Good day." And with that the voice went away and left Surf to wonder.
'Whats so dangerous about this room? All I see is walls.'
Surf sighed and started walking with hands in pockets. However about after five seconds of walking he heard something falling. He saw a shadow forming at his feet. He looked up seeing an anvil was about to land on him. He screamed and jumped forward.
The anvil landed with a deafening thud with Surf a couple feet away.
'The Dodge, The Slide, and The Fight. I can see why this section is called The Dodge…' Surf thought as he hurried to his feet.
He looked around to see that he was safe and started walking forward again. Not even four steps away the walls on the sides opened up and out came arrows. Surf did the limbo barely avoiding the arrows as they flew past his face. He fell on his back and crawled away from the speedy arrows.
He hurried himself to get on his feet before something else happened. More panels of the walls opened up which machine guns came out of.
'Aww crap…' Surf thought before the machine guns started firing. He stumbled to his feet and started running. He took out his own machine gun and started firing at bullets that were coming to him hoping they will deflect each other. This continued for a few minutes until the machine guns in the walls blew up from overheating. Surf stopped and took a breather. He got his original hand back out and put his hands to his knees.
'What kind of courses are these!?" Surf franticly thought. His ears perked up as he heard some whirling sounds coming from inside the walls. His gut told him to run again so he did. As soon as he started running the walls started smashing into each other with 5 by 5 panels.
The walls were closing in on Surf and he just kept on running.
'*pant pant* I should have worked out more! *pant pant*' Surf thought to himself as he could feel the closing panels right on his tail. After thinking that he heard a clink and clank sound, right above where the walls would close in flamethrowers came out with Surf as their target.
'Really!?' Surf thought as he took his own flamethrower out. The foe flamethrowers started fire and so did Surf. He countered the flamethrowers on his left and used his laser eyes to destroy the flamethrowers on his right. Surf was getting extremely exhausted now with him running for his life from the smashing walls and countering and also destroying flamethrowers that threaten to burn him to ashes. After destroying about nine flamethrowers, give or take, the walls stopped and the remaining flamethrowers retracted themselves into the wall. Surf stopped and tried to catch his breath. He wanted to lie down on the ground and do nothing but he knew he couldn't do that or something will kill him sooner or later.
Seeing there was nothing else wanting to kill him he walked slowly forward. Surf managed to stop wheezing after a minute but at that moment he ducked and barely got hit by a huge swinging axe that smashed into the wall. Surf looked at the axe in shock and looked up.
There were multiple axes hanging on the ceiling waiting to swing at Surf.
Surf gulped.
He moved forward ever so slowly still looking at the menacing axes. After about four feet an axe started falling down on him. Surf jumped forward barely missed being cut in half. After he landed another axe passed his face almost cutting off his nose. Surf did a sweat drop after the close call and picked himself up. He looked to the ceiling seeing that there was still three other axes waiting. Surf decided that he should run for it so he did.
He ran and they fell, one axe actually managed to cut more off of his tail. Surf didn't bother with being mad since he knew his life was in freaking danger.
'I'd rather have my tail cut off by a huge axe than die from one.' Surf thought as he felt the last axe miss him by centimeters.
He stopped running and switched to a slow walk once again. He looked around at his surroundings waiting for more things to come kill him. But none came and instead he bumped into a wall.
'The ending… The Dodge, The Slide, and The Fight. If I'm not mistaken there should be a slide of sorts. But theres a wall instead. Now what?' He didn't notice boxes came up from the ground behind him. He finally noticed the boxes when he heard growling coming from them.
He turned around seeing the boxes that are the size of him. The wall he bumped into opened up to a sloped road that looked like it was made of purple energy. The area it was in was completely dark and the only light was the light the purple road emitted.
Surf whistled as he turned his head to see the dark slope. He looked back at the boxes in time to see that they were opening. The boxes didn't even fully open when five wolf like robots came out with death in their red eyes.
Surf fell backwards in surprise and started sliding down the road on his back. The wolf robots followed Surf down the slope.
Surf was going in circles as he tried to get on his feet. He noticed that the robowolves didn't have trouble standing on the slippery surface. Surf put himself in a sitting stance and slowly got to standing afterwards.
'This feels like when I went ice skating that one time…' Surf thought as he went on acting like a new born foul.
He finally stopped stumbling and went into a stance of skate boarding. He experimented a bit and found out he could move by pretending he was ice skating or roller blading. He looked behind him seeing the robowolves aligned themselves horizontally. They were growling at Surf as they glared at him in hate.
Surf did a :S face and looked forward again. He looked just in time to see that he was coming up to a wall with spikes on it. He skated to the right to avoid it. Then fire came from the side trying to get Surf. He did the limbo to avoid that.
The wolves on the other hand aligned themselves in a vertical line and synchronized dodged the spiked wall and went on their tummies to avoid the fire.
'So many close calls…' Surf thought in annoyance.
He then heard that same voice that he heard earlier.
"Experiment 0934. You have passed The Dodge section and have miraculously reached the second section of The Course. We suggest trying to outsmart your pursuers. Good day."
'Outsmarting them?' Surf thought as he dodged two more spiked walls.
He looked behind him seeing that they successfully dodged the walls too. Surf noticed that they followed each other's steps.
'Maybe if I somehow destroy one the one behind it will get confused on whom to follow.'
The problem was that how does he destroy them. The wolves acted weirdly for a second and then a sort of gun came from their legs.
'Aww heck no!' Surf thought as they started firing. Out of instinct he pulled two of his quills out from behind him. The quills lengthened themselves to the length of a long sword. Surf then used them to deflect the bullets.
'That lying Snow Leopard.' Surf smirked to himself finding out that Snowy wasn't completely honest with him. Snowy said that he found out the rest of his new attachments, but Surf clearly remembers that he couldn't do this before the train accident.
One of the bullets that Surf deflected hit the second to last wolf in the eye on the left. (Surf's left) The wolf yelped and lost its footing. The wolf rolled and rolled while Surf saw that pieces of it went flying. It stopped rolling and just slid down the slide. It was missing one of its legs and the bottom jaw was gone. Metal was torn in some places showing the damaged wires inside.
Surf turned around again seeing more walls were coming up. He dodged both bullets and the walls at the same time. He turned around again in time to see an explosion happen behind a wall.
'Then there was three.' Surf thought as he used his quills to deflect the bullets again. Surf decided to throw one of his quills to see if he could hit one of them. He threw the quill as like a spear and it went right through the wolf on his right. The wolf barrel rolled for some time until it crashed into a wall Surf blindly dodged. Surf felt heat behind him so he ducked. While he ducked under the wall of fire he planted his other quill into the ground. He stood straight again and saw the quill explode right as the wolves were passing by. The wolves were blown off the road and fell into the void.
Surf hooted in victory and turned back around to see if there were any more obstacles. There were none.
However, while Surf was scanning the road a robotic arm came down behind Surf and grabbed him. He almost screamed but held it in. The arm lifted Surf into the darkness above. Surf couldn't see for a while and didn't know what was going to happen next. After what seemed like five minutes of moving to an unknown destination the robotic arm dropped Surf.
"HEEEYYY!" Surf screamed as he free falled for a minute.
He then felt something else catch him and moved him through a wall that opened itself. Surf was blinded by the light after seeing nothing but blackness for a while. The arm set Surf down gently and left through the hole in the wall. The wall closed itself off afterwards.
He looked around the room and saw it was just another big white room except that the walls are visible and close by each other for once. He started hearing that voice again.
"Experiment 0934. You have passed The Slide section and have arrived at the most dangerous section of them all. The Fight. Your opponent is Subject 217. A dangerous one he is!"
Just then the wall opened up on the other side of the room.
A cougar walked out of the entrance way and stopped when the entrance closed. The Cougar was wearing black jeans with a scar of two slashes that goes through his left eye. He had a sash of silver bullets and a belt that held four grenades. At his wrist were bracelets that looked to have big cats' teeth. On his back Surf could see he had a sort of rocket launcher and a gun that also looked to be enhanced by the scientists. He had a tooth pick in his mouth and red eyes that say "kill".
"Subject 217 aka Treador has been our subject for seven years. Master fighter and killer. I suggest that you say Uncle now Experiment 0934 while you still have the chance."
Surf thought for a moment and grew a frown on his face.
"No! And my name is Surf!" Surf yelled at the ceiling.
"Very well. May the odds be ever in your favor."
Then the voice left. At the same time Surf thought.
"Hunger Games…"
Surf was left being stared down by the killer cougar. Surf did a sweat drop as Treador kept staring at him with his blood red eyes. This continued on for a couple a minutes until the cougar spoke.
"Why did they even bother..."
Surf felt confused and offended at the same time.
"Uh... Excuse me?" He asked as he crossed his arms.
"I said... Why did they even bother..." Treador repeated as he flicked his tooth pick away.
Surf watched it as it fell to the ground. While it was falling everything felt as if it went in slow motion for Surf. He continued to watched it fall slowly to the ground. The closer it came to the ground the more danger Surf felt. The tip touched the ground and not even a millisecond later Surf heard a "click". Surf looked back at his opponent but instead became face to face with the barrel of a gun. His ears went flat and his eyes shrank.
'How?...' Surf thought.
"You get too easily distracted. That will be the end of you one day... or today." Surf heard Treador state.
Surf could sense the trigger was about to be pulled so he did what he best did, panic. Surf threw his arms up and hit the gun making it face a different direction. Treador did a frown as he fired at the wrong target. The wall was blasted with blue bullets that did small explosions on impact. Treador stopped and looked around to see where his prey went. He growled when he couldn't find him but after he growled something jumped him.
Surf managed to get behind the cougar and decided to try to choke him to death. He jumped and put his arms around Treador's neck. Treador immediately started shaking to get his attacker off. Surf was holding on tight but he was starting to feel nauseous. Right when Surf started turning green from the violet shaking Treador turned around and slammed Surf into the wall. Surf lost his grip and fell to the ground still feeling sick. He lost his feeling of sickness though after he got punched at his jaw. Surf fell on his side with his hand on his face. Surf could of swore that his jaw was broken but the jaw moved fine reassuring that it was not.
"You disgraceful BUG!"Surf heard Treador yelling at him.
"I'm going to make you wish that you were never born!" Treador continued as he picked Surf up by the neck.
"You pathetic rodent..." Treador tightened his grip around Surf's neck making it impossible to breath.
Surf thought for a moment on what to do with his limited time. He got an idea after a minute. Surf took his mechanical hand and put it around the arm that was choking him.
"Don't even try it you're too weak to escape..." Treador stated.
Surf didn't try to do what Treador thought he was going to do instead he did a quick movement away from the arm. After doing this blood started rushing out of the cuts that Surf created with his razor sharp fingers. Treador let go of Surf and breathed through his teeth because of the sudden pain. Treador covered his wound with his other hand and glared at Surf with hate. Surf was catching his breath and started standing up with his hand around his neck.
He could feel Treador's glare pierce right through him but he tried to ignore it. Treador stopped holding his four gash wound and started charging at Surf. Surf didn't notice because he was still trying to get himself to breath correctly. Treador punched him five times harder than the last punch Surf had, as Surf was punched he could hear glass breaking. He fell on his right side and in pain.
He opened his eyes but couldn't see through his left eye. In front of him was shards of black glass and just off his vision he could see broken wires hanging around. He looked up at Treador seeing him with both of his hands in a fist and the meanest face Surf has ever seen.( Thats saying a lot too since Surf seen a lot of mean faces in his life) Surf has never felt so scared in his life! He didn't know what to do so he just cover his face with his hands. All Surf thought was that he was going to die... again!
"Like I said, pathetic..." Treador said as he circled Surf and smirked.
Surf started feeling angry but he was still too scared to do anything. He could only but watch Treador circle him tauntingly through his fingers. Treador picked Surf up by his quills and started punching him in his gut.
Some Place Different...
Snowy couldn't watch anymore. He was disgusted with how the other scientists smiled and laughed as Surf was beaten senseless. Snowy turned away in horror, he couldn't stand it anymore. Snowy felt useless for he couldn't do anything to help Surf.
'I should have just sneaked him out of The Facility instead of making him deal with this...' Snowy Ashamedly thought.
"OW that has got to hurt!" Snowy heard another scientist say. He looked over to where he heard it seeing a red fox scientist kicked backed and eating some popcorn. That was the final straw. Snowy rushed out of the monitor room happy that he was away from these cruel people. He started wandering the halls saying prayer after prayer for the troubled porcupine
Back With Surf...
Surf was coughing up more and more blood each time he got hit in the gut. He couldn't breath either due to the constant hits that keep knocking the wind out of him which escalated the danger of dying. Treador suddenly stopped though which allowed Surf to breath for a minute, or at least try to breath.
Treador chuckled as he listens to Surf wheezing in the desperate attempt to catch his breath. Treador enjoyed his suffering and planned to savior every second of it. He then throws Surf across the room with him landing with a heavy thud and an added clank due to his robotics. Treador walked slowly to Surf kicking a few black shards while he did so.
Surf opened his eye and continued wheezing from the beating, he heard Treador walking closer to him in the mean time. He forced himself to breath normally as he frowned thinking.
'I'm not going to lose, I'm not going to die, I'm not going to let him use me as a door mat anymore. I'm tired of being pushed around, I'm tired of being called weak and pathetic, I'm tired of being beat senseless ever single day... I'm tired of not fight back!'
And with that Surf picks himself up and puts himself in a fighting stance as like when he fought Jo-Cher. He ignored the pain from his stomach and just glared at Treador with determination. Treador stopped walking and smirks.
"Seems like I get to have some fun after all."
Treador charges with a fist in the air ready to punch. Surf moves to the left and catches his arm in the middle of the punch. He then slams Treador into the ground after swinging him in the air. Surf lets go and jumps back to avoid any counter attacks.
Treador lays there in shock of what happened. He picks himself up after he snapped out of it and noticed that his nose was bleeding. He growled and putted himself in his own fighting stance. Surf charged and so did Treador.
Surf took out his taser and sent a lightning bolt at Treador. Treador avoided it with a quick step to the right and tackled Surf to the ground. Surf picked himself up almost right away and managed to avoid being crushed by Treador's rocket launcher. Surf regained his composure and readied himself to run. He switched back to his hand as well.
Treador flipped his rocket launcher around and aimed it at Surf with finger at the trigger and fired. A rocket came flying out and at Surf. Surf jumped above the rocket and barely avoided getting hit. Surf felt the heat and wind behind him as he landed with the explosion. Treador fired again and again and Surf avoided them again and again. Surf was thinking of a way for Treador to stop using the god forsaken rocket launcher and then a light bulb went off. He stopped running around and stood still waiting for Treador to fire another rocket.
Treador thought of this as odd but didn't hesitate firing two more rockets. The two closed in on Surf but he didn't move. Surf smirked right before the first rocket reached him and exploded. The second one went through the smoke as Treador laughed not noticing the second one never exploded. Out of the smoke Surf came out with the second rocket above him with him holding it. Treador was in shock of what he was seeing and didn't move as Surf aimed the rocket at him. A couple yards away from Treador Surf let go of the rocket and it flew at Treador. Treador tried to run but never got to make a move as the rocket exploded near his face.
Treador was thrown a couple feet back with his glove on his right hand in ashes and his hand with some of his arm getting serious burns. Treador kept in his tears and screams of pain as his opened one of his eyes. Surf was a couple yards away trying not to laugh with pieces of what use to be Treador's rocket launcher scattered around the room. Treador forgot all his pains and became outraged that Surf destroyed his rocket launcher. He ran on all fours at Surf and tackled him to the ground. He started punching Surf continuously after he pinned him down to the ground.
"That... Was...My...Favorite...WEAPON!" Treador yelled as he paused in between punches.
Blood was splattering all over the place and started filling up in Surf's mouth. Surf took out his machine gun and fired at Treador. Blood that was not his own hit Surf's face as a few bullets made contact. Treador roared out in pain and got off of Surf covering the three bullet wounds on his chest. He ran a little bit away to recover from the pain. Surf slowly got up dazed and spitting blood out with a few teeth here and there. He shook his head when he was fully standing, still swaying side to side though.
About thirteen feet away Treador was seeing red.
'How can that rodent be causing so many injuries! It's an outrage! I can't let this continue...'
Treador got up completely oblivious of all of his injuries and took all four of his grenades, two in each hand and ripped the safety rings off with his mouth. He threw them at Surf's direction immediately afterwards.
Surf barely noticed the clink and clank sounds coming from the floor followed by a rolling sound. He looked down still dazed but his eyes widened seeing that they were four grenades right at his feet. He turned and started running but he didn't run fast enough and got blasted with the four explosions. His back got severely burned as he landed with a thud. All Surf wanted to do by that point was to cry and just lie there. He knew he couldn't though or else Treador will torture him to death. His ears bothered him since all he could hear was a ringing sound from the grenades but the ringing started fading away as he started to pick himself up. He let a tear go since the pain from his burned back was unbearable. He managed and stood once again much to the dismay of Treador.
'That should have finished him! I should have killed him when I had the chance...' Treador thought with hate towards Surf.
Surf started limping toward Treador and Treador just stood his ground.
"Heh funny how this turned out..." Surf said with a smile.
Surf stopped a couple feet away from Treador while being hunched over with a hand on his shoulder.
"What do you mean by that..." Treador replied coldly.
"Well let us see here. At the beginning you had the upper hand and beat the crud out of me but then I gathered my guts to fight against you which ended up with me destroying your precious rocket launcher and causing you serious bullet wounds." Surf said in a sassy way.
"..." Treador didn't reply. Treador knew he was beat with that statement. He lost his chance of winning *snaps fingers* like that just because he didn't kill Surf when he was in weaker defense.
Treador only growled in his throat and gave Surf the death glare.
Surf smiled.
"You're only angry because you know it's true!" Surf said tauntingly as he stood up straight.
Treador's growl grew louder. Then suddenly Treador took out his gun that he still had from behind him and fired once.
Surf didn't have time to react to the unexpected attack. Surf could only but watch as his mechanical hand blew up in a small blue explosion and scatter in small pieces. His now destroyed hand left behind wires that dangled out of where his wrist should be, the wires would spit out a spark of electricity once in a while.
Surf's mouth was wide opened as he looked at his incomplete arm. Treador only smiled and fired again. Surf with the reflexives of a cat grabbed one of his quills with his real hand and reflected the bullet. Treador lost his smile and started firing repeatedly. Surf reflected every single one of his bullets with difficulty but managed. Treador only looked on as he continued firing at the one eyed, one handed, bruised and burned porcupine.
'How could he still be up and fighting?... I may now have new found respect for someone now...' Treador thought plainly while firing an endless amount of bullets.
Surf started getting slower at reflecting the bullets with his exhaustion not to mention the injuries. He thought he had to do something about the gun and thought of something right after thinking that. He did a full circle and reflected five more bullets before throwing his only quill. After throwing the quill four bullets impacted his body and he fell backwards. The thrown quill made its way through the bullet frenzy and jammed the barrel of Treador's gun.
Treador frowned and looked at the quill. He was about to grab it to remove it but the quill didn't let him as it exploded right in his face. Treador got slammed into a wall on his left and his gun was exploded into pieces just like the rocket launcher. Upon the impact of the wall Treador was finally knocked unconscious and slumped to the floor.
Surf just laid in a puddle of his own blood thinking of what just happened.
'So I guess I defeated Treador but in the mean time I got shot with four bullets, lost my hand and my eye, got third degree burns on my back, and possibly a collapsed lung...' Surf thought with difficulty breathing.
'Best day ever!' Surf also thought with sarcasm.
Surf began to slowly close his eye as blackness started to form in the corners. He tried to fight the darkness trying to take over but it was futile as he slowly closed his eye completely and slept.
OK! I have re-written The Fight part of this story since originally I thought I was lazy on it and made it boring DX. So I tried to make it more how would you say exciting! I sure hope it's more exciting :O. Anyway yea I spent most of the day re-writing this part and it took like FOREVER! Just saying XP.
Now in the next chapter... Will Surf survive and return home to the comfort of his parents? Or will he die and join the man upstairs? Who knows... (I do!) You will only find out in the chapter. Til then ciao!
