ALF MEETS KINGDOM HEARTS: SPEED IS THE GAME
Deep within the Gummi Ship, sitting in the radio room, was our favorite alien: Alf. He was messing with the CB radio, trying to speak into the microphone.
"Hello! Australia? Alf calling Australia! Alf calling Australia! Hello…Australia! Come in, please! G'day!"
There was no reply.
"What's the matter, a dingo got your tongue? Alf to Australia! Come in!"
Soon Sora walked in.
"Say, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Sora," Alf replied, "I've got the most brilliant money making plan ever devised!"
Sora sighed and shook his head.
"I'm glad you asked! Do you know it's already tomorrow in Australia?"
"Well…that's because to get there, you have to cross the International Date Line."
"Oh, that's fascinating for those of us care!" replied Alf sarcastically.
Sora noticed some papers on the desk. "Why…the racing forms?"
"It's all part of the plan! See I'm trying to get an Australian to check tomorrow's LA Times, and tell me who's gonna win the Pick 6 tonight at Hollywood Park! Ha! I…I can't believe no one's thought of this before!"
"Let me try to explain something here: It's not really tomorrow, see? Well it is for them…but for us…the time is the same, it's just different dates!—(Sigh) Go ahead, make the bet…"
Suddenly, the others walked in.
"Sora!" said Donald. "We're gonna be arriving in the next world s—What is he doing?" he added when he saw Alf at the radio.
"He's trying to get an Australian to check tomorrow's newspaper, and tell him who's gonna win tonight's lottery!"
"But…it's not literally tomorrow there!" Naminé replied in confusion.
"That's what I've been trying to tell him, but…"
"…But he cant even bother to listen, can he?" Roxas chimed in.
"What?" Alf was appalled. "I do too listen!"
"Actually, you don't a lot of the time." Lynn corrected.
"Yeah!" said Naminé. "You remember when we were back in Traverse Town getting the Gummi Ship repaired?"
FLASHBACK
"OK, she's all done fellas! We got her purrin' like a kitten!" said Cid, who was working on the Gummi Ship in his garage.
He closed the hood, wiped his greasy hands and his dirty, sweaty face with an oil stained rag, put his tools back in the toolbox, and sat down on an old, worn-out, three-legged wooden stool.
"Wow, looks great Cid!" exclaimed Sora.
"The Cidmistier's got it in him, that's for sure!" Alf added.
"Please don't call me that!" Cid replied.
"I call you that because I like you! I really like you! …To a point…"
"(Sigh) Whatever. Now, I have something important to tell all of you, so listen up: See that button?" he said, pointing to a large red knob. Everyone nodded.
"Do not press it unless there's an emergency. And definitely don't press it in an enclosed area, such as this garage!"
"Don't worry! We won't press it!" everyone replied: everyone but Alf, that is.
"What? You mean this button?" He pressed it (uh-oh).
"NOO!" everyone shouted, but it was too late.
KABOOM! There was a huge explosion!
Fortunately no one was hurt, and the Gummi Ship seemed to be undamaged.
Everyone recovered and got back to their feet, covered in soot.
"Yahoo! Let's do that again!" Alf whooped.
Everyone glared at him.
"Uh…oops! Eh…heh, heh, heh…"
End Flashback
"Yeah I remember that!" said Alf. "Good times! Good times!"
Naminé and Lynn shook their heads and sighed, whilst Roxas and Sora slapped their heads and groaned.
"Hey, I think we're almost to the next world!" shouted Brian.
Everyone knew what to do. They all took their seats and put on their seatbelts.
"Hang on!" Donald shouted, as he drove the ship towards the world.
After a somewhat rough landing, everyone got out. They looked around and saw that they were in the middle of a modern-day city.
"Where are we?"Lynn wondered.
Suddenly they saw a fast blue blur speeding past them. It stopped in front of a nearby building, revealing it's self to be a young blue hedgehog that appeared to be in his mid-teens.
"Heh! What a perfect day for a run! No demands; no worries; no nothing! This is gonna be sweet!"
All of a sudden, he heard a voice shouting from behind him.
"SOONICC!" A pink female hedgehog that seemed to be even younger than the male blue one ran up.
"Gah! Amy!" the blue hedgehog gasped in shock. "It's not what you think! I-I was just looking to see if a bad 'egg' was causing trouble around here!" he lied.
"Don't give me that crap!" the female hedgehog fumed. "You're just trying to get out of our date again!"
"No, I'm not! It's just—Aaah! No! Amy! Put down that hammer! Help!"
"You get back here right now Sonic! You hear me? SOOONIIC!"
Amy started chasing the blue hedgehog with a giant mallet!
"Well I'll be! That's the strangest sight I ever saw!" a voice exclaimed.
A tiny field cricket wearing a top hat and tuxedo jumped out from inside Sora's shirt collar.
"Actually, we have been seeing these kinds of thing a LOT lately!" Sora corrected with a chuckle.
"Now that you mention it, more times than this little insect can count!"
"Why do we need him again?" asked Alf.
"We already explained this once Alf, remember?" Sora replied.
FLASHBACK
After everyone had recovered from Alf's little screw-up, Cid announced: "Now, if we can all just stop the shenanigans, I have someone who wants to meet ya!"
He held out his hand and a neatly dressed cricket jumped out of it and landed on a table.
"Well, howdy do! Cricket's the name; Jiminy Cricket at your service!" it said, tipping its hat.
"Ick! A bug! Squash it! Squash it!" shouted Alf.
"No Alf, Wait!" Sora held out a hand to stop him.
"What? It's just a bug! A stupid, disgusting bug!"
"No! He's more than that! He's also the royal chronicler for the king!
Oh! Uh, oops…sorry about that!
"Wait!" Brian chimed in, "You guys never told us who this king was!"
"Yeah," added Jake, "what gives?"
"The king wants us to keep his identity a secret until further notice," replied Donald; "and we need to respect his wishes!"
"Oh?"
"However, he has probably left you clues about who he is."
Turning around, he then said, "And you! Yeah…you…the one reading this story! Listen up: It's quite obvious to you who the king is…but you better not tell them or you'll blow his cover!
"The one reading this story?" Yuffie asked, confused. "I don't see any readers out there you nutjob!"
"Um…OK." replied Lynn. "By the way, what is it that Jiminy over here does exactly?
"I can answer that myself." Jiminy replied. "As Sora told you, I'm a chronicler."
"What's a chronicler?" asked Brian.
Jiminy gave him a friendly smile.
"Simply put, it means I keep a journal of our adventure; you know, about the worlds we visit, what we do in those places, the inhabitants we meet there, etc. Then I read it to the king and queen so they'll know all about our journey."
"Wow. That sounds like a lot of work!" said Alf. "The only journals I ever kept were my diary and my official Orbit Guard Log!"
"Hey, I hate to be a black cloud, but we really gotta get going!" Naminé butted in.
"C'mon guys!" Sora replied. "Let's go now!"
"Wait!" shouted Aerith. Everyone stopped
"What is it?" asked Roxas.
"Actually, we need to speak to Lynn."Leon replied.
"Me?"Lynn was baffled. "Hold out your hand
Yuffie dropped an object into her hand. It looked like a shiny, multi-colored rainbow heart. On the bottom of it was a row of whitish-silver rings linked together.
"What is it? "Lynn asked, still confused.
"It's a Keychain!" replied Aerith.
"Uh…thanks…I guess! But…what's it used for?"
"It will increase the strength of your Keyblade." Leon replied. "There are many others just like it; each one has own unique design and power."
"I managed to steal this from one of the Organization's old hideouts!" Yuffie said. "Fortunately, it wasn't that hard: At least not for a ninja-thief such as myself!" she added with a grin.
"Every time you find and use a Keychain, your Keyblade will get powered up big-time!" said Leon. "But know this: There is one special Keychain that doesn't exist in this realm; it must be crafted from the light that resides in your heart."
"The light within my heart?" Lyn nrepeated, confused
"Yes… With it, you'll have more power and strength then you could ever imagine! You will be the light that shines through the darkness!"
"A light that shines through the darkness, eh? OK! I get it now! …I think!"
Leongave a solemn nod.
"You'll catch on." he replied with a slight smile
"We should get going…" said Roxas
"Oh, yeah! Guess we kinda forgot about your mission!" Cid replied with a dry grin.
"Wait! Before you go, there's something I wanna give all of you!" Aerith chimed in. She handed our heroes a glass of lemonade each.
"Gee, thanks Aerith!" Brian said, as he took his. "Hey, this tastes kinda funny!" he added after taking a sip.
"That's because she always puts salt in her lemonade." Leon whispered.
"Uh…"
"Want any more?" asked Aerith.
"Uh… No thanks…" Sora replied.
"Oh? Well, OK. Good luck on your journey!"
"Thanks! We'll do our best!"
"Remember what I told you about that Keychain Lynn, and you'll be OK!" said Leon, smiling a bit.
"OK Leon, I will…thanks!"
Everyone said their goodbyes, then our heroes began to set out for their adventure.
END FLASHBACK
"You know…" pondered Lynn, remembering that event; "Now that I think about it, I should probably add that Keychain now, just in case."
She reached around and grabbed her Keyblade, which was in a sheath tied around her back.
She then used her other hand to search through her pockets.
"Let's see: Old bubblegum, a few pennies and quarters, a dead bug…ewww, gross! How did that even get in there? Let me just try the other pocket! Ah…no! It's not—Wait! Here it is! It was hidden under a tiny pile of lint! Ugh! I thought Mom and Dad were gonna get that stupid dryer fixed!"
She held out her Keychain, and brushed off the remaining lint, dust, and dirt.
"OK, here goes!"
She attached the Keychain to the handle of her Keyblade, and it locked in place.
Suddenly, there was a bright flash of brilliant bright light that made everyone shield their eyes! When it was over,Lynn could be heard gasping in awe: Her Keyblade now looked completely different: The guard was now in the shape of a heart with sky-blue flowers all around it; the grip was a greenish blue color; the teeth were now tiny blue spikes; and there seemed to be a turquoise tint to the blade; the multicolored, heart shaped Keychain dangled below the guard.
"Wow! It completely changed design! Did you see that?"
"Don't be too surprised." replied Naminé. "That's just one of many amazing things the Keyblade is capable of! But you mustn't forget to use your own strength; the strength of your heart. THAT is what makes you a fighter, not your Keyblade! Oh, and don't forget about your friends! There's strength in numbers, y'know! We're a team now, and there's no 'I' in 'team'! Your friends are your power! Your friends and your heart! And we will never leave your side! Never forget that!"
"Thanks Naminé!"
Naminé smiled and nodded.
"By the way," she added, "Your new Keyblade needs a name. So what do you plan to calll it?"
Lynn smiled.
"A new name, huh! How about 'Friendship of the Heart'?"
"Wow! That's perfect!" Naminé laughed, as she and Lynn high-fived
"Y'know," said Jake, "we still gotta figure out where we are."
"Hmm…let's see... Wait here's something: 'Welcome to Station Square, America's city of dreams!'" Sora replied, reading a plaque on the wall of a building.
"Oh sure, that's a real catchy slogan." he added sarcastically.
"Wait, someone's coming!" Roxas warned.
Everyone hid behind the building and peered around the corner. They saw what appeared to be a young, orange, two tailed fox rushing past.
"Sooonic!"
"Yo Tails! What's up?"
"Sonic," the fox replied, "it's terrible! Cream and Cheese have been kidnapped!"
"Again? Darn it! That egg-headed jerk is really starting to chap my fur! Now we gotta deal with the fat moron again, which isn't gonna be so easy due to those rumored sightings of all these strange, creepy, inky black creatures with yellow eyes lurking about the city! Sheesh! This just gets harder and harder!"
"Black creatures?" whispered Roxas.
"The Heartless…here?" whispered Sora, a bit too loud.
"Huh?" said Sonic, looking around. "Who's there? Come out where we can see you!"
Our heroes slowly stepped out from behind the building.
Sonic and Tails stood on their guard.
"Are you friend or foe?" the blue hedgehog demanded.
"Don't worry, we're friendly! No need to fight us!" Naminé replied. "We just wanna know what's going on!"
"Oh, I'll tell you what's going on all right: We're always having to deal with this freak scientist that goes by the name Dr Eggman. He's just kidnapped some friends of mine! The guy's a real creep, I tell you!"
"I'm sure he is." replied Roxas.
"By the way, we never properly introduced ourselves. Of course, we've only known each other for a few minutes. I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!
"And my name is Miles Prower." the young fox added. "But everyone just calls me Tails. I like that name better."
"Pleased to meet you" Sora replied. "I'm Sora!"
"Donald!"
"Goofy!
"My name is Roxas!"
"And I'm Naminé!"
"Lynn Tanner! Nice to meet you two!"
"And I'm her kid brother, Brian Tanner!"
"Jake Ochmonek!"
"My name? It's Gordon Shumway! But everyone calls me Alf! I come from the now destroyed planet, Melmac!"
"OK!" said Sonic. "Now that we've been introduced…perhaps you can help us defeat Eggman and rescue our friends?"
"Sure! No problem!" replied Sora.
"Alrighty then!" said Sonic. "Now let's go kick some rotten egg butt!"
And with that they all ran off to face the enemy.
None of them noticed the small, cloaked figure watching them from a rooftop
"God luck fellas!" was all he said before turning away and jumping out of view
MEANWHILE: IN SOME PLACE FAR-AWAY
"Oohohohoho!" a man laughed evilly.
Two robots were standing near him. One was a tall golden robot; the other was stockier and had a silvery color,
"What's he so happy about Bocoe?" asked the tall robot.
"I do not know Decoe. It confuses me too!"
"I'm happy…" the man answered, "because I now know the crucial element needed to hatch my latest and greatest master plan… Do you know what it is?"
The two robots shook their heads and shrugged.
"Give up? OK, I'll tell you: it's darkness!
"Darkness?" the two robots cocked their heads in confusion
"That's right! We need all the dark power we can get, if wanna manipulate the Heartless!"
"Heartless?" asked Bocoe, still confused.
"Yes; they're those critters that are born from the darkness in folks' hearts! They're super powerful; according to what sources tell me! If I could get my hands on enough of them, and combine their dark energy with the power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds, then I may just be able to rid myself of that pesky blue rat, Sonic the Hedgehog, forever! And then no one will be in the way of me achieving my final goal: tearing downStation Squareand using its former site to construct my Eggman Empire! Ohohoho!"
"Hooray! The doctor is a genius!" the two robots cheered.
"Of course I'm a genius! And it was also genius of me to figure out the one person who can help us with our plans! And now we have her at our mercy!"
Laughing evilly, he turned to a little rabbit girl, who was accompanied by a strange, tiny blue creature with what appeared to be a tiny round pom-pom on its head. They were imprisoned in a small, clear, dome shaped plastic pod.
"Well, well!" the man sneered menacingly. "Are you ready to tell me the location of the Keyhole?"
The rabbit girl and her tiny friend were shaking in their boots. Well, they would be, if they had boots…
"I'm telling you; I don't know of any 'Keyhole'! Honest!
"Chao, chao!"
"Cheese is right; you got this all wrong! Please sir! Let us go!"
"It would be in your best interest to cooperate! You should know by now that no one would even dare try to hide anything from me; the super-smart and powerful Dr. Eggman!"
Turning on his loudspeaker, he said, "Attention all SWATbots: These are your orders; take this pesky rabbit girl and her pathetic excuse for a pet, and take them to the base's launch site; also, you are to prepare the Egg Carrier!"
He shut off the loudspeakers.
"Decoe! Bocoe! Go and assist the SWATbots! Call me when everything is prepared!"
"Yes sir!" the two robots saluted and left.
Eggman then turned his attention to his prisoners.
"Don't worry Creamy-Dreamy! We're not gonna hurt you…too much! We'll just place you aboard the Egg Carrier and take you to another base far from any hopes of rescue; maybe then you'll decide to talk!"
"I don't think so Egghead!" a familiar cocky voice shouted.
"What? You again?" Eggman shouted, as a speedy blue blur whizzed by.
Suddenly he turned around and screamed, "NOOOO!"
For there he saw the most horrifying and aggravating sight he had ever witnessed: his prisoners were gone; the dome cell smashed into pieces!
"Aughhh! How can this be? That cell was supposed to be indestructible! Once again, one of my brilliant plans has been screwed up by that annoying rodent!"
He banged he fist on the terminal.
"GAAAH! I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!"
He turned on his loudspeakers and said, "Attention all SWATbots! There has been a slight change of plans: someone has freed my prisoners…and there's no doubt to who the culprit is! Go out there, and do not return until you've succeeded in killing, terminating, eliminating, or otherwise DESTROYING THAT HEDGEHOG!"
He turned off his loudspeakers
Meanwhile, our heroes were speeding away from Eggman's base as fast as they could, with Sonic in the lead. He had carried unconscious Cream, who had fainted during the whole ordeal, in his arms, whilst Cheese hovered beside him.
"That was a close one!" exclaimed Donald. "I thought we were never gonna get out of there…what with those evil looking robots lurking around and stuff!"
"I'm just glad you guys were wise enough to wait outside the fortress like I told you to!" replied Sonic. "That Egghead is really dangerous!"
"Really? What does he do?" asked Sora.
"He captures innocent animals and uses them to power up his robots!" replied Tails
"Is that what he was planning to do with Cream and Cheese?" asked Naminé.
Sonic and Tails looked at each other and gave uncertain shrugs.
They were still running, when suddenly…
CRASH!
"Dammit Sonic, why can't you ever watch where you're going?"
They had crashed right into, and had ended up face-to-face with another hedgehog that almost identical to Sonic, except that he had jet-black fur with crimson red highlights, a black chest, red eyes that showed annoyance, a tuft of white fur around his chest, a pair of white gloves with golden cufflinks, and a pair of sneakers, both a mixture of white, black, red, and yellow.
"Oh, hey Shadow! Didn't see ya there!" Sonic said in his usual carefree tone.
"'Oh, hey Shadow! Didn't see ya there!'" Shadow mocked. "Admit it; you're just reckless!"
"Relax Shads! Anyway, I'd like to introduce Sora, Donald, Goofy, Roxas, Naminé,Lynn, Brian, Jake, and Alf."
"The pleasure is all yours!"
"Hey do you guys happen to know anything about these strange black creatures roaming the city?" asked Tails.
"Yes…what you saw where the Heartless!" Sora replied.
"Heartless?"
Sora nodded
"Beings without hearts! They're born when a person's heart is corrupted by darkness."
"Yikes!" exclaimed Sonic.
He then turned to Shadow.
"So…what brings you here?"
"I was sent here by GUN on a reconnaissance mission." Shadow replied. "The Station Square First National Bank has been robbed again! And this time it wasn't me!"
Sonic and Tails gasped.
"No! It can't be!" exclaimed Tails. "That's where…"
"That's where the Chaos Emeralds are being held." a voice behind them replied, startling them.
They all turned around to see a huge, fat, catlike being leaning against a building with a smug grin on his face.
"Wak! Pete!" Donald exclaimed.
"Hyuk! Pete?" added Goofy.
Pete laughed.
"That's right! A warm welcome from yours truly: The one…the only…Pete!"
"Wait, how'd you get here?" Naminé asked. "I thought Maleficent fired you after you failed her too many times!"
"Just who said that stinkin' witch was a part of this? This is all about me, me, me, and ME!"
"Then how did you get to this world?" asked Sora
"Why, on my Gummi Ship of course!" Pete replied.
"You have a Gummi Ship?" Donald shouted, surprised.
Pete smirked.
"I do now! I stole me some of the King's old Gummi blueprints that I found in the castle library while I was doing boring community service, and used it to start constructing my own! Soon enough, I had a Gummi Ship built for yours truly!"
"So, what are you doing here Pete?" Lynn asked.
"Legend has it that whoever has the 7 Chaos Emeralds in their possession will have the ultimate power. I bet that any sucker would pay big bucks to get their grimy hands on those babies…so I plan to collect them, and then sell them to the top wealthiest scumbags in town! The prize will go to the highest bidder! And that'll make me rich, rich, rich!"
"(Snicker, snort!)"
Pete heard Sonic and Tails trying in vain to hold back their laughter.
"Oh, what are you two bozos laughing at?" Pete demanded, frowning.
"You can't sell the Chaos Emeralds lamebrain! First of all, they've already been stolen! Second, even if you were able to find them, it'd be pointless to sell them, because their powers only last a limited time for each use, and then they reappear somewhere else!" Sonic explained with a taunting laugh.
Pete was enraged.
"WHAT? WHY YOU...YOU… GRRAAH! THAT DOES IT! NOBODY–AND I DO MEAN NOBODY–MESSES WITH THE MIGHTY PETE!"
"'The Mighty Pete?' More like 'The Mighty Dork!'" Sonic retorted with a scoff.
"GAAHH! HEARTLESS SQUAD! ROUND UP!" Pete shouted in a fit of rage.
Suddenly, there was a low rumbling noise. Then the next thing our heroes knew, they were surrounded by a large group of Heartless! There were about a dozen Shadows, 5 Soldiers, 2 Large Bodies, 1 Bookmaster, and 1 each of the following four: Red Nocturne, Blue Rhapsody, Yellow Opera, and Green Requiem.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Hope you enjoy having company punks! Because you're gonna get it alright: courtesy of the dear old forces of darkness!"
Pete gave off an evil laugh and ran off.
"So long losers!" he yelled, giving of another laugh before he was out of sight and ear range.
Soon everyone was engaged in battle. Sora, Roxas, and Lynn attacked with their Keyblades; Donald, Brian, and Naminé unleashed some magic; Goofy, Alf, and Jake used their shields; and of course, Sonic and Shadow used their kicks, punches, Spin Dashes, Homing Attacks, and superfast speed.
Brian was having a bit of trouble with his spells, and kept hitting Donald instead!
Donald kept his cool, though. He couldn't lose his temper at him. He was only a kid, after all.
"Brian, you gotta focus!" the duck yelled.
"What?"
"Build up the magic in your heart and accumulate it to the tip of your staff. Imagine the spell hitting the enemy. Concentrate in your mind!"
Concentrate in my mind, huh? Brian thought.
Aiming his staff at a Large Body, he closed his eyes and focused.
Opening his eyes again, he locked onto the huge Heartless with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Fire!" he shouted, as a fireball shot out and hit the Heartless, killing it.
"Alright! You did it!"
"Yeah! I did!"
"Uh guys? Behind you!" Roxas pointed.
They killed the approaching Heartless just in time!
"There's too many!" Naminé panicked.
Suddenly a small cloaked figure with large, round ears swooped down, pulled out a Keyblade, and began attacking the Heartless!
Sora, Donald, and Goofy recognized the figure, but were careful to be quiet.
With an extra hand, they were finally able to defeat the dark beings with ease.
After the battle was over, Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked over to the cloaked person.
"Y-Your Majesty?" Goofy said.
"Shh!" the king replied with a whisper. "Don't say anything around them! Follow me so we can talk in private!"
Donald turned to the others.
"Wait here!" he ordered. "Be back in a sec.
The king led the trio down some stairs into a nearby subway station.
"What's going on Your Majesty?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, why are you keeping your identity secret, anyway?" Sora added
"Because, I have a hunch… And if it's true, then revealing myself at the moment may endanger your new friends!"
"Gwarsh, what kinda hunch Your Majesty?" Goofy asked.
Mickey pondered.
"I can't really say at the moment…"
"Why not?" asked Donald.
"I dunno…" Mickey shrugged. "I just can't!"
"But Your Majesty…" Donald and Goofy started to say in unison.
Mickey held out his hand to stop them.
"I hate to do this to you, after all of your previous troubles, but could you keep an eye on your new friends…especially that girl, Lynn?"
"Yeah…but…."
"Please, you gotta do this! If my hunch is correct, then that means she may be an easy target for the Heartless and the Nobodies! You gotta protect her! I ask you not just as your king, but as your friend too! I always counted on you three, and you always came through! And if you could do it then, then I know you can do it now!"
The trio thought for a few moments, until finally…
"We won't let you down your Majesty!" Donald replied, as he, Goofy, and Sora saluted.
Mickey nodded.
"I know you won't!" Mickey replied, smiling. "Thanks pals!"
"We promise to keep your identity on the down low Your Highness." Goofy added.
Mickey nodded again, waved goodbye, and disappeared further into the station.
"Grrr! Where are those pests?" Eggman growled.
He was busy trying to track down our heroes, with vengeance in his mind
"They should be around here somewhere…" Decoe replied.
"They'd better be! They took our hostage away from us! Rrr! When I get my hands on those fools…"
"Do not bother about them." a voice behind him replied out of nowhere.
Eggman and his minions looked behind them, startled.
"What?"
"They are not important right now. The rabbit girl is not the one we're looking for." the hooded figure calmly stated, pulling back his hood, revealing a man with long, frayed blue hair, slicked in in wild spikes at the top, and a X-shaped scar on his face, that rested between his sinister yellow eyes, running halfway up his forehead in one direction and just to under his eyes in the other.
"Huh? Saix? What are you talking about?" Eggman demanded.
"This is the one we're looking for." Saix replied, taking out a photo, and holding it out for Eggman to see.
Eggman's jaws dropped.
"What? No way, it can't be!"
"I'm afraid it is. You best get to work."
"But that girl is more trouble than she's worth! Have you seen the size of her hammer! Man!
"Have it your way. Just let me warn you though: the Superior doesn't tolerate disobedience."
Eggman grimaced.
"(Gulp!) Rrr! Fine! But I get those Chaos Emeralds you stole in return, got it? I need them for my evil master plan!"
Saix gave Eggman a cold glare as he handed the 7 powerful gems of power to the evil genius.
"Beware the darkness in your heart. The Heartless prey upon it."
With that said, Saix disappeared into a swirling dark vortex.
"Grrr! That jerk thinks he can order me around? Well he's got another thing coming! I'll go along with their plan for now, and when it's over, I'll gladly betray them! Oohhohohohoho!" Eggman laughed evilly.
"So what do we do now Doctor?" asked Bocoe.
Eggman gave a malicious grin.
"Simple: We pay a visit to our dear, gullible friend…Knuckles the Echidna!"
"But sir, Sonic the Hedgehog and his companions are also probably planning to see him." Decoe exclaimed.
Eggman chuckled.
"Then we'll just have to head 'em off then, won't we? Everyone back to the base, and board the Egg Carrier! We're departing for Angel Island!"
Uh-oh! What are Saix and Eggman planning? Who are they after? Why do they need Knuckles? And why do I keep asking such dramatic questions? That's for you to find out, in the next thrilling, epic chapter of Alf Meets Kingdom Hearts!
