I'm sorry for the massive delay, I got this error when trying to fix it. Someone helped me out with it. So, I'm tossing out 4 chapters.
CHAPTER 16: HYPER BASH BRETHREN
"How come only you get to fight here?"
Sonic was relaxing on a beach, laying on a foldable chair under an umbrella, and his friends crowded around him. They were in Defelno Plaza, as Sonic was invited to the "Super Smash Brothers" event, he decided to invite his friends along to watch. Shadow was complaining about how they were not able to compete in any of the events.
"Because I'm the one invited by the great whatever-it-is guy. Not you." Sonic answered. He went back to drinking his can of root beer.
"Still, can't you reason with him? Strike a deal?" Shadow ranted on.
"How about I try and he turns us all into trophies?"
"I'd rather not, my life is still enough as it is." Knuckles said.
"See, good ol' hot tempered gets it. Why can't you?"
Shadow slumped down. "Because I'm bored, and I'd like to participate too."
"Maybe next time, Mister Unsmiley."
Disappointed, Shadow left, grumbling off into the background. Watching as he went, Tails could help but wonder. "Seriously, though. Why can't more people participate? I'm sure we'd put up as good of a fight as everyone else." Tails asked.
"Good question, but I don't know, they say they have a deadline or something and the huge mansion we book at is kinda small." Sonic replied. "I'd love to see more people in it, but more people I know would equal less sitcom potential, which is how they get above half of their revenue."
Tails' eyelids evened out. "You'd think the festival itself would give them enough money."
"You'd think so, but-"
"GAME! ALLLLRIGHT EVERYONE, listen up! This next match-up, straight from the Master's hand, will be..."
The entire beach went silent, save for the waves, wind, and Aphex Twin CD playing on Sonic's boom box, as the announcer opened a letter. Sonic readjusted his position on the chair, and smiled, wondering if he'll be called up next.
"... BwAHAHAHA! Oh," The announcer laughed as he read the orders. "Oh, this could be tragic. Alright! This next match is... FREE FOR ALL! EVERYONE! READY..."
Sonic removed his sunglasses dramatically as everyone on the beach either gasped or reached for a weapon.
"Speak of the devil..." Amy sighed. She realized she didn't have much time to talk, so she spoke fast. "Truce?"
Sonic got up, and took the umbrella out of the sand. He could hear a squeal of delight coming from where Shadow had walked off to.
"GO!"
Sonic pulled the umbrella top shut, and swung around with it. With one swipe, he landed a hit on Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, and knocked them into the air.
"Sorry, but there can only be one!" Sonic shouted as he opened the umbrella to deflect a turnip being thrown at him.
He turned around and swatted away an advancing glittery vampire with the handle of the umbrella. Sonic proceeded to wind up punch the dazed enemy off of the beach, an explosion blasting the opposite direction. Sonic then threw the umbrella at a cardboard box, and, to Sonic's displeasure, the cardboard box collapsed.
"Oh my god what am I doing?" Sonic asked himself as he threw kicked a boy with a snake in the neck while throwing a smoke bomb at a stand of fruit, revealing a long haired soldier in watermelon camouflage. "Wait a second, this festival ended a year ago."
He realized it was a dream, and went lucid.
A tank crashed into a building next to a cliff. Inside, a blue space marine slammed controls, shouting at the female voiced AI controlling the tank.
"Locking on, locking on..." The AI repeated.
"No, unlock UNLOCK!" The pilot ordered.
"Firing."
With a blast, Sonic turned around just in time to see a man wearing a red suit and ski mask, raising a butterfly knife, poised to stab, get blown into a fine red mist by the tank.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Sonic shouted.
"SON OF A BITCH!" The dozens of people behind the assassin screamed.
"Son ovva bitch..." The pilot sighed. "Sheila, POWER DOWN. Or I will do UNSPEAKABLE THINGS on you the next time you get repaired. Unspeakable..."
"Powering down." Sheila replied.
As the barrel of the tank lowered in it's shutdown process, the soldier stammered. "U-uh-um-uh, can I get out?"
Sonic watched the tank power down, and recognized the pilot. He was about to say his name, when someone from the crowd spoke first.
"His landmaster shut down, get him!" A wolf from the pack howled.
The blue soldier continued to stutter. "Uh, landmaster? No, this is just a tank. Not a master of any lands. Or areas. Or places in general."
In a moment, the entire crowd that was on the beach began charging the tank. Instead of sensing fear like a normal person, the pilot reacted with joy.
"Oh boy, am I famous? Yes! The Great Caboose! Oh I am such a turn on for the ladies."
"TURNING ON..."
"See, I even turn Sheila on, huhuhuh."
"Locking on, locking on..."
"Oh crap, I DON'T WANT TO KILL MY FANS!"
"Firing."
"NOOOOOOOO!"
The pilot being completely unable to control it, the massive cannon fired. It directly missed the crowd and went straight for Sonic. Unable to react due to the sheer randomness of his dream, Sonic flew backwards, into a bell tower. His head smashed the bell, causing it to ring, and he fell face first down the shaft. He landed with a thud, and groaned.
"How come lucid dreams always fuck me up?" Sonic complained to no one. "Why does my mind drift off, why can't I have dreams featuring what normal people dream of, lik-"
"You wish you could have normal dreams."
Sonic looked up, and saw the same person from his last dream and the demon from today.
"Dammit Mephilifisis," Sonic grunted getting up. "You and your shit has been getting on my nerves lately. What is with you? What drives you?"
"Oh, the fun of ruining people's lives. That's what. And your life. Especially yours. You brought me down to nothing but a memory. A suppressed one, too."
"Okay, okay, whatever it is, I don't care about it. You bring tales from the future, yes? Tell me the adventures of every day life in post-apocalyptic times, then."
"I'll start with two important individuals in that time. First, we have Silver the Hedgehog."
"Naive Batman wannabe. Alright, I can see him making your ass hurt. Next."
"Next, we have Blaze the Cat. They're wanderers who are trying to make the world better, by fighting the Eggman empire, the current emperor being Eggman Nega, and other corrupt leaderships that exist there. It all started, when a demon named Iblis is released. He-"
"Bullshit." Sonic cut him off. "One, Blaze is from a different dimension. Not only has she told me, but I've been there, and that shit isn't anywhere near apocalyptic. Two, Eggman Nega is the same thing, he has been to my dimension's future before, accident or not, but he doesn't do that full time."
"But it happens."
"But you're shitting me, barrels by the minute."
"If you don't believe me, I could take over the dream and sho-"
"Can it, faker, when you are in my head, you are in my world. You are not welcome in MY world!"
Mephiles paused. "... Well. We seem to have a predicament here."
"Yeah, the predicament being you suck."
Randomly, Sonic smashed an aluminum baseball bat on Mephiles' face. The force behind the hit shattered all the crystals growing out of the demon.
"Oh wow," Sonic began to taunt. "You're a recolor of a recolor. How did I not notice that?"
Mephiles grunted in pain, followed by a growl in anger.
"Oooh, scary. I've met a guy that called himself 'Ganja the Hedgehog' and he seemed more original than you."
Mephiles began breathing heavily.
"Oh, what? You gonna cry? YOU GONNA CRY NOW?"
Mephiles began to turn.
"Yeah I dare ya, rage quit. Make us both happy."
Without warning, Mephiles fired a large beam of energy from his hand. It seemed, and was, immensely powerful.
Sonic took it like a man.
Mephiles' eyes widened. "... What?"
"Mephiles, Mephiles, Mephiles... I don't think you understand that it's my head, and my dream, I can tank whatever you throw at me if I want it, and you're just only part of it. Now, shut the fuck up, get the fuck out, and leave me to myself, or you can get the fuck out of here."
With a glare, Mephiles turned around and rose his hand.
"While you're here, I've gotta ask." Sonic brought up quickly. "What the hell man? You were summoned out of my head by the yellow cat girl, and after we chopped your head off and performed terrible acupuncture on you with arrows, you're still alive?"
"Well," Mephiles began. "It's not as simple as that."
"You grew a new head like that guy from Men in Black, didn't you?"
"No. That wasn't me."
"Then who was it? The Tooth Fairy?"
"This book has characters taken from your mind to fill the places of the characters. 'Actors', I guess you could call them. The demon you slayed had my body as my body as it's actor. The actors are not always spot on to what they should be, matching only personalities."
"Hmm. Shoulda figured that."
Mephiles readied to snap his fingers, and at that moment, Sonic couldn't resist.
Sonic threw the bat at Mephiles' head. "BONK!"
And everything went black.
