*With Sonic, in the Mobiocity park, ten minutes earlier*
"Kill…?" Toxic asked, turning to the rock monster.
"Kill…" The Plague replied, nodding its head.
"Live?" Sonic questioned, nervously grinning at the two beasts.
The Plague slammed his fist into the blue hero, sending the hedgehog tumbling across the terrain once more and sliding to a halt. Toxic began to jab at Amy with its tentacles, but the fangirl obliterated most of them with swings from her hammer. While the stone monster charged at the Blue Blur, Amy fended for herself, blocking and attacking the giant slime figure with every move in her book.
The Plague shot balls of virulent rock at Sonic, who in turn dodged them and knocked the beast's legs out from under it. The Fastest Thing Alive ripped The Plague's head off and punted it into the air, but as expected, the monster just regenerated a new one. The assailant front flipped back onto its feet and drove its elbow into the Blue Blur, knocking the wind out from under him, then drove it upward, sending a devastating blow to the blue hero's jaw.
"Kill!" The Plague bellowed as it swiftly kicked Sonic in the chest, making the Blue Blur fall on his back.
The hero barrel rolled to his left, dodging a punch aimed for his face and rocketed into the monster's chest, sending the beast soaring into the air and eventually falling into a lake. Slowly, the villain emerged from the water, sopping wet, but erosion started to take its toll on The Plague and within seconds the beast crumbled into tiny pebbles.
"Well…that was a little less easy then I anticipated," Sonic panted, looking at the pile of rubble.
Green wisps lofted into the air, which once were bound to The Plague's body like lime green veins. The streams of gas hovered in the air for a minute or two before plunging into the ground. The ground began to shake as a stone hand emerged from the earth.
Another hand.
A head.
Before the disbelieving hero, The Plague pulled himself out of the ground, bearing the same form he had previously. A small crater was left where he had emerged.
"Wow… Didn't see that coming," The hero murmured, blinking a few times.
*With Amy, seven minutes earlier*
After Sonic was launched across the park, Amy set to work defending herself from the walking mucus ball. Toxic, however, was much more difficult to fight than The Plague. While with the rock monster she could actually land a solid hit before it reformed, Toxic would reform almost immediately after she hit it, which made for slow progress when it came to defeating her foe.
"Death to Team Sonic!" The slime figure hissed, shooting its tentacles at the girl with fury.
Amy deflected each attack with great concentration, slicing and smacking her gooey attacker whenever possible. Toxic shot its arm out towards the pink hedgehog, grabbing ahold of her hammer. Its green, slimy fingers began to wrap and twist around the handle of the weapon before the villain yanked it away and slammed the mallet right into the fangirl.
Amy was driven into the ground, sliding into a garden of flowers and smacking against the stone wall that surrounded the park. Her vision blurred as she looked around at the people staring and filming the action.
"Go… Go get help…" Amy whispered, standing up with shaky legs.
"I've called the police! They should be here any minute!" A lady shouted at the girl.
The hero nodded before making her way towards the green monster once more, who awaited her with menacing eyes and a powerful hammer. She regained her balance and slowly began to accelerate towards her foe.
"You…got…dirt on… MY NEW DRESS!" Amy shouted before pile driving into Toxic, tearing a hole through the beast's chest.
The gap was quickly sealed with more green goo, but Amy didn't care. She lunged for her hammer and tore it out of her assailant's hand, then sent an un-godly hit to the monster's head, splattering goo everywhere as she drove the mallet down the center of the slime figure's body. The two edges of Toxic that still remained melted into a pile of green slime at her feet, but quickly started reforming again before the hero's eyes. Amy furiously began to stomp and smash the streams of ooze as it began to take shape again, but it was no use. Eventually, Toxic was standing before her again, this time with a crooked smile that it had formed by parting slime from that region.
"I…am…poison…" The monster hissed, picking the shocked girl into the air.
*With Sonic, real time*
"SONIC!" Amy screamed from across the park.
The Fastest Thing Alive turned sharply in the direction of the cry, looking on to see the fangirl get hoisted into the air by Toxic; its tendrils wrapping around the girl, encasing her midsection in a slime casing.
The Plague looked over at its comrade and then back to the blue hero. Taking its chance, the rock monster raced towards Sonic and slammed its fist into the hero's chest. Hard.
Sonic stumbled backwards and looked around in a daze. Outside of the park, he saw that the army had arrived, and all of the soldiers had their weapons trained on the two beasts.
"Hold you fire! No shot! Don't wanna hit Sonic or Amy!" A soldier with a megaphone called out.
"Guys! I need backup! Help! Now!" The hero pleaded, putting in and activating an emergency com link that the team had set up.
"Only Knuckles and I are here right now! Where are you? What's going on?" Tails crackled, responding a few seconds later.
"Big…giant…reforming…monster things!" The Blue Blur exclaimed, dodging a punch. "Amy and I are in the park! Hurry!"
Picking up the hero, The Plague threw Sonic across the field and slammed him into a tree, cracking the base and collapsing the large pine on top of him. The hedgehog groaned as he tried to roll the trunk off of him, but it was too heavy and he didn't have the strength that Knuckles did. He wasn't in the right frame of mind to go into his super form either. His options were becoming extremely limited.
"Where's…that…backup, guys?" The hero seethed, squirming underneath the weight of the tree.
"SONIC! Help me!" Amy cried out, kicking and wriggling in the hands of Toxic.
Sonic held out a shaky hand at the pink hedgehog before he saw Toxic drip a few drops of green ooze from his fingertips down the hero's throat, then slamming her into the ground. Amy didn't move after that.
"SONIC AND AMY ARE DOWN! OPEN FIRE!" The soldier roared, and a rain of bullets pierced the air, slamming into the bodies of the two monsters, however the beasts did not react to the shots whatsoever.
Sonic coughed and sputtered as the world around slowly began to go dark. The weight of the tree was slowly bleeding the air out of his lungs. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was The Plague walking towards him and smiling devilishly.
"Souvenir…for…Eggman…" The rocky monster chuckled sharply.
There it is! Hope you all enjoyed it! Now things can get moving with the story! Woot!
