Chapter 17: The Final Showdown - Part 1:
I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!
I just can't for the fucking life of me believe
that Eggman played me like an electric guitar!
To think I was dumb enough to not realize that
MY OWN GIRLFRIEND wasn't acting quite like
herself! Regardless, I'm comin' for her now!
That overweight bastard had better be sleeping
with one eye open! ...Unless he doesn't sleep in,
that is!
Sonic was running full speed through City Escape, his arms extended behind his back and his hands spread out, and a look of determination on his face.
Eggman, you've really gone and done it THIS time! (OK, I know I said that when you broke the planet apart, but now I really mean it)! He thought as he reached the city and swiped a streetboard right from under the arm of a random pedestrian.
"Huh? Hey! Get back here with that!" The man yelled, chasing after the hedgehog the whole way.
Upon reaching the bottom of the hills, Sonic jumped off the board just as it hit a fire hydrant and was sent flying backwards due to the momentum it had before the impact. The board hit its owner in the head, knocking him over. Not taking notice of this, Sonic briefly stood on the edge of the city limits and after examining the newly-created water spout in the sidewalk, noticed a large truck with the GUN logo on it pull up.
"Yeah, you're late!" He said before hurrying into the forest.
After traversing hundreds of acres of woods, Sonic came across the ruined temples of Sky Sanctuary Zone. Not slowing down one bit, Sonic sped through the stone buildings, bounding off of pillars and running along walls. After a while, he found a tall cylindrical pillar with a spiraling pattern going up it. Sonic proceeded to sprint up the pillar, using the spirals as a path. The pillar began to crumble, but Sonic didn't care. Nothing was about to get between him and his fiancé. Upon reaching the top of the crumbling pillar, Sonic jumped high into the air, called forth the seven Chaos Emeralds and absorbed their power. He could feel immense power surging through his body. His once green eyes turned red, his once blue fur turned golden-yellow, and his once drooping quills stood on end, with the tips pointing upwards. Sonic had transformed into Super Sonic. Using this power he proceeded to fly high in the air and search for the Death Egg.
I'm Amy Rose! I'm cute and I'm full of energy!
Well, I never thought I'd say this, but last night here
wasn't really as bad as I thought it would be! I mean,
I wasn't physically harmed in any way, and despite being
evil, Eggman still didn't treat me too terribly...aside from forcing
me to deteriorate his health and only letting me sleep for half an hour!
Regardless, I'd still very much appreciate it if I had some help! I'd save
myself if I could, but since we're miles above the ground, I can't!
Meanwhile, up at the Death Egg, Amy was being forced to make yet another batch of twenty-five subs for Dr. Eggman. (He had asked her to make him three helpings so far). She was still sniffling and crying non-stop, over how Sonic could possibly never be coming back. Dr. Eggman meanwhile, was fast asleep in the soft-cushioned chair next to the control panels. He was surrounded by dirty plates and partially-eaten sandwiches. He had mayonnaise and chewed up sandwich fillings all around his mouth, his long frizzy mustache was flecked with crumbs, and he was snoring loudly. Also, his stomach was much larger than it ever was before, sticking out to the point of ripping a big hole in his black bodysuit and hanging out from under his red jacket, thus making his large protruding bellybutton visible. Cubot was passing by the control room, and he passed the kitchen and heard Amy.
"Hey bitch! Stop all your whining! You're waking up the boss and getting tears on his food! Now shut up or you're getting it!" He ordered.
Amy did not want to get put on the electric chair, so she quieted down and continued to put cheese and cold cuts into the deli-slicer.
My name is Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails!
...Uggghhh...do I really have to do this segment now?! I'm beat!
Just skip to the next scene, already, will ya'?
Back at the house, Tails and Knuckles slumped into the kitchen.
"Ugh, I feel awful." Tails said.
"You said it. After the caffeine in the drink wears off, it feels as if someone fed you a sleeping tablet." Knuckles replied.
Both gave out a yawn as they proceeded to sit at the table and serve themselves. Tails, Knuckles, Silver, Blaze and Shadow were at the table, enjoying a meal of biscuits and gravy, and making conversation. Eating made Tails and Knuckles feel better after feeling worn out for a while.
"You know, it's not like Sonic to sleep in this late." Shadow commented.
Silver swallowed his bite of food.
"Well, I did see him run off after he bowled me over coming out of the house. He was saying he was going to 'beat the shit out of a jackass'." He said, "And when I passed by his and Amy's room, Amy wasn't there." He finished.
Everyone at the table was silent for a moment. Then all of a sudden, a news report began blasting from the radio by the kitchen sink. Omochao started speaking into the microphone.
"Good morning, I'm Omochao. In today's top story, Sonic the Hedgehog has been sighted flying up to the Death Egg in his super form. Well, I guess that means Eggman is up to no good again. Stay tuned!" He said.
"Wait a minute! I thought we destroyed the Death Egg many years back!" Knuckles said with disbelief.
"Well, knowing Eggman, he probably found some way to rebuild it." Tails replied, taking a swig of orange juice.
Super Sonic had been flying high up in the air for a little over an hour. He had so far not lost any hope in saving Amy, for he knew that even Dr. Eggman was not cruel enough to end up killing his prisoners. Sonic soon saw an ominous gray sphere off in the distance. Not hesitating for a moment, he sped towards it.
Dr. Eggman, meanwhile, was still sleeping underneath the mess of sandwiches and suddenly woke up as the alarm started to sound. He was so startled that he fell out of his chair, but quickly got up and was shocked after he saw what the camera was picking up. He could see Sonic zooming up to the flying fortress. Eggman proceeded to hurriedly tap around the keyboard on the control panel so he could set the defense mechanisms, but this proved challenging since his plump belly was getting in the way.
"Ooh! Why did I have to be so hungry!?" The round scientist growled, smoke billowing from his ears as he stomped his foot, only to slip on a half-eaten sandwich and fall backwards onto his head.
"Hey! I forgot to eat this!" He exclaimed upon seeing one of yesterday's triple bacon-cheeseburgers on the floor among the subs.
He scarfed it down hungrily.
"Now where was I? Oh yeah! WHAT DO I DO!?" Eggman said, standing back up and going back to panicking.
Amy happened to be coming into the room with Eggman's third helping of twenty-five subs, and her heartbeat picked up as she saw Sonic on the camera flying full-speed at them. She dropped the platter and ran up to get a closer look, but Orbot and Cubot caught her and held her in place. They backed her into a corner. Eggman was panicking. With his stomach in the way, he could not operate the controls.
