The rooster bot laughed as he put his wongs on his hips, "WE did it! We got the fox in one go! This is why I am the genius!"
"Genius?" the drill bot grumbled, "But Scratch, I was the one who used the trap!"
"And I used you!" Scratch told his twin brother. "And now we can use and abuse Fox here to get that hedgehog!"
"And then we earn Robotnik's... um... love? Admiration? Respect?" Grounder asked, scratching his head.
"We earn him another promotion and a place on the second place employee of the month award!" Scratch said, "That's all I need!"
"Oh right!" Grounder said.
Tails grinned, "Scratch! Grounder! You guys are so funny!"
"What..." asked Scratch.
Grounder looked up and said, "He said we're funny."
"I know what he said!" Scratch said, slapping him. "We have him hostage and he says we're funny?! What are we doing wrong!"
"I don't know. Maybe we need to look up this handbook on being mean and evil that Robotnik gave us," Grounder said, pulling out the book.
Scratch looked at Grounder, and then to the book, and then to grounder again, and then to the book, "We had a book on being evil... this whole time."
"Yes?"
"And we never used it?" asked Scratch.
"Wel, yeah. I mean, it's so boring and stuff. It's got nothing but tech manuals on making good traps, how not to fall for disguises, let your confidence take you over, how to use your aggressive feelings and let the dark side take over, and how to be clever. I mainly read it for the cute cartoon strips at the end of the chapters," Grounder said, only to hear loud banging against the bars.
Tails sighed as his head lay on the bars, "This is why Sonic always beats them..." He wrapped his tail towards the lock.
"I mean the comics aren't that bad," Grounder said. "No need to hit your head against the bars."
"Grounder, I swear when I get you home I'm gonna-"
"Kill you," a sinister voice said, his shadow glaring on the ground.
Scratch and Grounder gasped, looking at the shadow, and then sighed when they saw Mario. Mario waved hello, only to be booted into a warp zone by a red boot. They gasped again, only to laugh at Kevin, who was then also booted into a warp pipe with a bomb on his back and into the Palace of power. They then looked around for the sound of the voice. And still more, "OVER HERE YA JACKASSES!"
Scratch yelled, "It's the hedgehog!"
"And he has... a nice leather jacket," Grounder said.
Tails' eyes widened,"Scratch, Grounder, run! Run now!" He began to quickly pick the lock with his tail,"That's not Sonic!"
Scratch looked at Tails, "Bah hahaha! You need your eyes checked little fox. Of course, that's Sonic."
"Yeah, quills, mohawk spine, cyclops eyeballs, and sneakers. Of course, that's Sonic," Grounder argued as he looked back, "And now he'll try and-"
"Oh, got you a present," Scourge said, kicking a metal head at their feet.
Coconut's head rolled on the ground for a moment, before looking at the two and saying, "Run."
The two then looked back at Scourge as he walked closer and closer, before screaming bloody (Oily?) murder. Tails could only see the shadows of gears, tubes, wires, and circuits being thrown about and torn from the body. Droplets of oil flew through the air and some of them even hit Tails' face, rolling down his cheek.
After a few minutes, Scourge sat on top of Scratch and Grounder's torn-apart bodies, munching on a chili dog. (A pure evil chili dog, made of EVIL Chili, with an EVIL sausage, with EVIL ketchup and EVIL onions, while on decent bread. I mean, it wasn't bad, just decent, just... ok. It didn't want to be bad, just decent.) "And that is how it's done, Little Fox. You know, I do enjoy scaring five-year-old kits. It's... a hobby of mine."
"You need to get out more," Scratch's head said.
"There are better hobbies, hedgehog," Grounder's head added.
Scrouge kicked their heads, "Shut up, you're dismantled!"
"Oh, we do this all the time. We'll be fine tomorrow," Scratch said. "You know this, Sonic."
"It's Scourge." Scrouge said, "Scourge Hedgehog Ignatius, Theadore!"
"Oh someone is having a mid-life crisis," Grounder said with a giggle.
Scratch sighed, "Robotnik was the same, got himself a pet robot chicken, hired that nephew of his, and tried to get a dark fortress..."
Scourge elbowed them.
Tails had broken out, and then flew to the top of the cage,"It's okay, Scourge, Sonic never totals them for good either." He smiled.
"Thank you, I feel..." he paused, and then looked at Tails with a raised eyebrow, "Wait, before I said it, he acted as he knew me, didn't he?"
"Oh yeah, he was warning us," Grounder said.
"How did he," he then smirked, "Tails, how is Sally? Still, robotized? Still, wanting to kill you? And what about that sexy pedo Koala?
"Yeah, Sal's still roboticized and I've got a restraining order on Barby." Tails said, crossing his arms.
Scourge lightly kicked the bots away and smiled a toothy grin, "Oh, isn't this sweet. You are my Tails again, and in a little boy's body. Good," he said chuckling to himself. "I was hoping to kill you, in any form. After all, my body count has been low since the other dimension."
"Wait wait wait," said a voice.
"What?" Scourge asked, miffed.
"You can't kill an innocent boy child. This is a children's fic. You have to kill and eviscerate something else." the voice said.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, like Tails' favorite teddy bear in that box!" the voice said, pointing to a large box.
"OH boy, can't wait to go and destroy a child's favorite thing!" Scourge said, opening the box... Only to be confronted by a very large grizzly bear with a trucker hat.
"Da, what do youse mean you are gonna wreck a childhood's toy!?" asked Mike, "Hows about I wreck youse?"
"Muther-" Scourge said, looking at you with a pained expression.
As the sounds of beating, car wrecks, and the occasional chicken squawk were heard. Sonic stepped out from the shadows with a megaphone. Smiling he ran to the cage and smiled, "Hey Tails, what's up with the reject from a biker gang?"
"Help!" Scourge screamed.
"Oh, that's an evil version of you from another universe." Tails said, dangling his feet.
"Huh," Sonic said.
Scourge behind them could be seen trying to crawl away from the big ball of violence, only to be pulled back by Mike's hand. From that point on, the only things that could be seen from the ball were signs that read, in no particular order.
"Help
SOS
Save Me, Ian Flynn
Pain! Real Pain!
Get me, Dr. Cox or Dr. McCoy!"
"Neat." Sonic finished, "Wanna grab some chili dogs and tell me how you ended up in this?"
"Okay!" Tails said, hopping down and walking with Sonic.
Mike, still using Scourge as a paddle ball, yawned a little, "You know, turning you into a pinball is fun and all, but it gets borin' after two minutes. Yas needs me to throw ya somewhere?"
"Not into the painful spikes factory," Scourge whimpered.
"Well, ok.." Mike then did a round-up and threw Scourge into the EXTREMELY PAINFUL SPIKES factory.
After some time passed, Scourge crawled out and growled. Pulling out a small communicator and groaned, "Doc...do you have better luck? Please say no."
Starline's voice laughed,"Oh, I've had excellent luck, Scourge! I'm meeting with this world's Eg- er, Dr. Robotnik, and he is a hoot! Is something happening over there?"
Scourge looked up nobly and narrowed his eyes, "I have met the enemy..." he paused, and waited. And waited. And waited some more.
Starline raised a brow, "Well?"
Scourge waited, and waited. Growling, he raced halfway across the continent until he got to a place with an overcast, and stood in the shadow, "...he is me." He then looked down,"Oh, and that other Tails is here. Just thought I let you know."
Starline sighed,"You shouldn't have that much trouble with him, Scourge." He then muttered," Again, he shows up. Twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action..."
"He got the drop on me, but next time it will be different. Oh yes," Scourge said. before looking up to the heavens and screaming, "You hear me world! I will take down that hedgehog! Then I will take down his franchise, and the rest of the world! YOU HEAR ME! I SWEAR VENGEANCE!"
"Now you see Cream? That is a crazy person, you don't talk to crazy," Vanilla said to her little girl.
"Ok Mama," Cream said.
Fiona took a sip of cola as she sat with Starline at Robotnik's pool,"I think this world's starting to get to him."
Starline nodded.
Robotnik, also at his pool in a speedo and lying on his belly, while a few bots began to massage his back by beating it and using a rolling pin, "Isn't that the way with minions? I have some problems with them myself. Now, enough about hedgehogs, tell me more about why you sought my INFINITE and GRAND Wisdom?"
"Well, I'm one of your biggest fans!" Starline said, "I just have to know what kind of magnificent plans you had to destroy that meddlesome hedgehog and his lowly sidekick!"
Another bot began to massage his back and buttock, treating his body as a giant piece of dough. To that end, he even had a chef hat on as he began to massage the buns and roll his body with a rolling pin, "Well, currently, I was thinking of kidnapping Tails to force Sonic to tell me where he left the emeralds. See, work with me on this. Even if Sonic and his other selves from the timeline returned the emeralds to their proper place and time, then those four gems would still be there. I call it "Project: Do-Over!" that infernal hedgehog will never know!"
"Hmm, that sounds brilliant. If I may, Doctor, my servant is quite speedy himself, I could use him to grab the emeralds for you." Starline said with a smile.
"Really? I would expect nothing less from my biggest fan," Robotnik said. "Very well, you may call him and use my brilliantly thought out plan! Men, bring in the tea and coffee, we drink tonight."
"He seems happy," Scratch said, "Want to not tell him the bad news and play some video games?"
"Already in our room!" Grounder said, rolling away, Dreamcast controller in hand.
Scourge waited in a tree, binoculars in hand as he watched Tails and Sonic sit by some trees and eating some chili dogs, "Oh yes, eat well my rivals. But I will defeat you and then I will-" he looked up at the large bird that rested on his head. "Please...don't peck my head."
"Um, no," the bird said, pecking at Scourge like he owed him money.
Sonic began to eat, looking over his shoulder at Tails, "Hey, little bro, you ok? You look like you're waiting for someone."
Tails looked around,"Yeah," he swallowed,"I'm waiting for a friend... you see, this is gonna sound weird... but I'm not your Tails."
"Not my Tails? Who are you then?"
"I'm from another universe. An accident caused my mind to switch with your Tails." Tails then asked,"By the way... how old am I supposed to be?"
" Five, why did you ask?" Sonic said, "What is the other you a teen or something?"
"... Close... Eleven..." Tails hung his head.
"Man you got gypped," Sonic teased as he nudged his little brother's shoulder. "So why the switch."
Tails sighed,"I wanted to find a way to save Aunt Sally from roboticization... but there was an accident."
"Robotization? Your Robotnik sounds like a real jerk."
"Tell me about it..." Tails muttered.
Sonic patted Tails on the shoulder, "But you got through it. Bet ya that's because you had the best big bro always watching you no matter what."
Scourge began to walk behind them, turning off his communicator, "I am going to kill them, and then I'll will be happy. Oh yes, death will be swift and painful."
An old fox heard this and screamed out, "No it isn't! It's long and torturous!"
"Come on, Davey Crocket, tie for your medication," a fox nurse girl pushed him into a wheelchair."
"Thanks, Sonic, I know I can always count on you..." Tails whispered.
Sonic smiled warmly, wrapped an arm around Tails, and pulled him into a hug. Scourge smiled, brought out his knife, and walked closer. Bloodlust in his eyes as he came closer, licking his lips as he began to envision Sonic (in as TV-7 as he could) bleeding out and Tails being skewered. Raising the knife he prepared to kill them both in one go. Ready to strike he began to sta-
"LISTEN BUB!" Sonic said with a growl, pressing his nose to Scourge's, glaring his eyes into his alt dimension "I was enjoying some bro time here. Now, I know you are lonely and need some brothers of your own-"
"Yeah, I mean, considering that I kill people who get close to me..."
"So if you want to fight me so badly, how about we start by crossing this line!" Sonic said, making a line. Scourge bravely crossed it. Sonic then made another which Scourge crossed. Then another and another and another.
"I think this world has had a bad effect on him," Nicole said, popping out of the portal and sitting down, licking a small ice cream cone, "If you are curious, this Tails is fine. He's being...doted on by the others. Cream is just happy to have someone younger than her to play with."
"And this one and this one and this one," Sonic said, before saying, "You know what, maybe we should stop."
"**** you! I'm racing across this line and showing you how fast I am!" Scourge said, making his legs into a figure eight and running across the line, over a cliff, down the cliff, through the air, and hitting the ground at a velocity somewhere between a bullet and a man with a suicidal tendency.
"That's great!" Tails said with a smile,"Hear anything from Z yet?"
Nicole shook her head, "Nothing yet, I've been trying to access all I can but so far." she shrugged and then looked to Tails, "You seem to be enjoying yourself in this world."
As Scourge woke back up, he moaned, "I hate him...but that means I hate myself."
"Ah, I see," said a blue hedgehog in a white coat, large mustache, and glasses covering his eyes, "Tell me more."
"Well, you see, this guy who I hate, is me. But he's not me, but he is. And that annoys me," Scourge said.
"Ah, I see. My Uncle Chuck always told me to be smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies to win this," the doctor, I. C. Nutz. "And he also told me to keep my wits before taking on someone faster and tougher than me."
"Yeah, and that's why I am going to beat the snot out of you!" Scourge said, leaping at him with his teeth bared. Only to be kicked by Sonic into a wall.
"Hey, I just found my cousin, Ichabod Cornelius Nutz and I'm not about to lose him now!" Sonic said as the psychiatrist began to walk away.
Sonic then turned around, stuck his tongue out, and then ran up the side of the cliff. Scourge, now madder than ever, ran after him, up the cliff. Faster and faster, he chased after Sonic, aiming o kill him. He could feel the dirt crack beneath his heels as he ran. The air breezed past him as he ran and became quicker. He was breathing harder and harder as his feet touched the sky. His spirit was strong, he ran up and up, racing towards Sonic. Soon his breathing became harder and harder as he noted the lack of oxygen.
In space, Shadow looked at Gerald Robotnik. His black eyeliner and piercings shining in the Ark lights, "I don't care man! I'm gonna go down to Earth where my emo poetry is the respected man! Leave me-"
Boom!
"Sis! What was that?"
Scourge's head had appeared on the floor of the Ark
"Like, it's some green hedgehog," Maria said, pressing the eject button and knocking Scourge out and back towards Mobius.
Scourge, his screams inaudible thanks to being in space, began to fall through the atmosphere. Down below, Sonic looked up and gasped, "Oh my ancient walkers! He's reaching terminal velocity. I have to do something and save him!"
"Oh, I do wish someone could rub lotion on my back," Sally said, laying on a beach blanket.
Scourge forgotten, Sonic began to rub suntan on Sally's back. Then he began to cook some chili dogs, play Sonic Triple Trouble 16 bit on the computer, and started to read. As Scourge neared the point of impact, Sonic raced out, "I got it, I got it! I GOT IT!" he said, performing a supersonic Mach speed roundhouse into Scourge's face, sending him flying through Mobius.
He flew through some trees, more trees, a cliff, out of Ian Flynn's laptop, back into the story, through another cliff, past Super Mario bros super show, through mother brain on captain N, through Lior, past the butterfly mansion, through another more spikey cliff, past a belly dancing competition through a tar pit, a pillow factory, a nail factory, a torch factory, and then into a pile of bob-ombs. As he could hear the sizzling of the wicks, he looked to the ready and moaned, "Oh come on, a pile of bob-ombs are going to blow up, can't you come up with something new?"
then into ̶a̶ ̶p̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶b̶o̶b̶-̶o̶m̶b̶s̶.̶ A very angry Godzilla.
"Oh F-" he was then thermonucleared into the ground.
"...Doc? I'm ready for that mission now," Scourge said, crawling from the crater, "And a massage from Fiona, a nice and long one..."
Tails laughed,"Well, this world is actually pretty easygoing, especially compared to the last one."
"Yes. There is just something peaceful here." Nicole said, standing up and walking away into a door of light, "Who knows, maybe your challenge will be something easy. Perhaps this is just their way of little you have a little peace after a horrifying experience."
"Yeah..." Tails sighed.
Fiona looked at Scourge as he came in, all disheveled,"You... don't look good."
"I feel horrible. That hedgehog, he beat me hard. This world," he looked at her, "IS insane! I need cuddles!"
Fiona sighed as she gave him a hug,"I won't tell anyone about this, m'kay?"
Scourge flinches a little at her touch, before sighing and nodding. He let her get close to him and hugged her back, rubbing her tail softly.
"Ahem." Dr. Starline's voice said.
Scourge looked up, "Do you mind? I was cuddling!"
"Yes, and you were taking too long." Starline said with a frown,"Especially when I have a mission for you."
"And I had a girlfriend to make happy"! Scourge said, standing up, "But fine, what is the mission?"
"I need you to gather four chaos emeralds from around the world," Starline said.
"Oh, sounds fun. See, that is why I hired you and then let you be the planner," Scourge, walking away with s smirk, "You come up with the cool plans and I get to have my fun." He then took off. "See you in a bit."
"I'll send the locations to your communicator," Starline said, walking away.
Scourge smirked, "Just wait Sonic...I'll have my-" he jumped out, "Revenge!"
a bird then came along, landed on his head, and then began to peck at him like Scourge owed him money.
Scourge ran across the ocean to a small island, where he began to dig for the first emerald, "Yeah, that's what's been happening." he thought to himself, "The world's been getting to me, I'm just tired of failing! I've gotten my butt handed to me in two separate worlds now and I've got nothing to show for it."
With the invisible emerald in hand, he began to race towards the small pyramid for the Emerald of Immortality," I miss the old world, at least there I was king for a bit. At least there I won some and everyone feared me but now..."
He landed with a small thud and looked to the Robotnik mummy, still holding onto the gem. Using his invisibility, he grabbed it from the corpse and smirked as it turned to dust, "Now I feel like someone's cheap joke. Well, not anymore, when I get all four? I'm abandoning the doc and taking this place as my own. And then I'll rule and be awesome and..."
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a small locket with a picture of Fiona. After looking at it for a moment, he closed it and ran off towards an abandoned castle, "I'll ditch her. I mean, I don't LOVE her, she's just my little side piece and once I'm done with her I'll abandon her for something better. Bet I can find a hot female Sonic for a quick fling or something." he chuckled to himself as grabbed the gem from the king's corpse.
"Only a king could-" the corpse said.
Scourge chuckled, "Still technically the King of Moebius, they just never took my license."
"Dang it."
"And one more," Scourge said, racing off toward a volcano.
meanwhile, Robotnik called on the phone, "My biggest fan, I am quite curious. This minion that you are sending to collect the emeralds? He will bring it to me, correct?"
Starline twirled a ring on his finger,"Of course, he will! He wouldn't be so stupid as to take it for himself!"
"And the power over life itself," he said, taking the last emerald.
Listening to the music for a moment, he yelled out, "OI! I ain't having that classical crap!" tapping his foot, he added, "Now, give me a theme I can rock out to!... That's better!"
Lighting, flame, and earth began to surround his body as his quills started to rise. With each chuckle he let out, his quills began to rise. Soon, his chuckle broke out into mad laughter as he began to change from light green to dark purple. The wind seem to scream in fear at the sight and stopped from his incoming form, while his body began to glow. With one final laugh, a shockwave erupted from his body, leaving a crater as his body was changed. Eyes black with red irises found a small sunglass hut and he walked to it. Reaching in, he stole the glasses and put them on his eyes, "H-h-hey!" The skunk inside said, "Why aren't you paying for those!"
"Simple," Scourge said, grabbing the skunk by the neck, "Because I'm evil. And it feels so good."
"Ok man, just wanted to know. It's all good!" The skunk conceded.
"Now if you don't mind," Scourge said, walking away, "I'm going to go, kill the hedgehog, and then? I'll make this world my bitch! Then, I'll make everyone remember the name of King Super Scourge! HAHAHAHA!
"Starline...why are the embodiments of wind, fire, earth, and lighting at my door crying for sanctuary?" Robotnik asked, loking out his window.
"SAVE US!" the wind said
Lighting nodded, "The purple one cometh!"
"We can't watch!" The Fire one said
"I don't want to die like this! I want to die by the sun!" The earth said.
Starline took a sip of coffee,"It seems Scourge found the emeralds."
Robotnik paused, looked at Starline, and let out a fairly calm and collected what. He then talked about the reprocessors of such a fate and what they should do next.
...
...
You aren't buying it, are you?
"Scratch, Grounder, get everyone out of the room," Robotnik said. As the two dumb-bots moved everyone out, he also added, "All living things." then his favorite plant grew little bitty legs and ran out of the room. He then stared out at the heavens and screamed in utter rage.
Meanwhile, in the home for the criminally insane, "Sonny! If I told you once, I told you a thousand times not to swear unless it's in victory." Mama Robotnik asked, "Oh why can't you ever be more like Colin."
Colin Robotnik, holding his little girl's hand, began to sign the papers, "And you promise the insurance will make sure she never never never never NEVER leaves again unless she is shot?"
"Yes, sir, Mister Robotnik."
Tails cocked his head as he looked in the direction of the scream,"Huh, wonder what's going on."
"Maybe someone stubbed his toe?" Sonic asked.
Nicole, looking down at her computer, said, "Tails, a message from Z...' Help overthrow the king."
"The king?" Tails asked.
There was a flash of lightning and thunder, before ̶S̶c̶o̶u̶r̶g̶e̶ Super King Scourge appeared, "Hey boys. Whacha doing?"
Tails' eyes widened,"Super Scourge!"
"What?" Sonic asked, "You mean he can get lamer?"
Scourge chuckled darkly as the lightning crackled and ̶S̶c̶o̶u̶r̶g̶e̶ Super King Scourge chuckled darkly as lightning crackled and danced along his figure. He waggled his finger at him, "Then come here and say that."
Sonic revved up his legs and ran right at Super King Scourge, his fist drawn. Then he began to deliver a barrage of punches and kicks, striking out at each body part of the hedgehog. Super King Scourge could only smile at this before spinning around to roundhouse Sonic through some nearby trees. Then he walked slowly towards Sonic as he struggled to get up, "Interesting, these four emeralds arent as draining as the ones back home."
"Ok, so you're good. How about I give you a little of this!" he said, turning into a buzzsaw and spin dashing at Scourge Super King Scourge.
Super King Scourge then hit Sonic with a baseball bat and knocked him into a rubber tree. Then he hit Sonic with a paddle as he returned, followed by: A croquet mallet, a cricket bat, a tennis racket, a racquetball racket, a pinball flipper, a chair, a tree, Tails' teddy bear, and Kazooie.
Sonic, on the other paw, crashed through the rubber tree and towards the bob bomb plant. A nearby animal groaned, "Ooops, there goes another rubber tree plant. Well, at least I got high hopes."
As he landed in the middle of the bob-omb field, he looked at the bob-ombs, "Hey guys." Sonic said woozily.
"Hello, we're gonna blow up," the bob-omb said, smiling.
"Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Have fun," Sonic said, putting on a blindfold and putting in a lollipop.
"Thanks."
BOOM!
Super King Scourge smiled as he rode Ghidora's back, and had it electrocute Sonic, frying his body before he hit the ground. Looking at his opponent's beaten and broken body, he laughed, "And now dear Sonic... you will die!" he then raised his hand, ready to impale Sonic.
"Wait!" Tails shouted,"You don't wanna kill him now!"
̶S̶c̶o̶u̶r̶g̶e̶ Super King Scourge looked back at Tails angrily, "Oh no you don't. I know where this is going. I'm going to say why not and then you will come up with something that will hit me in my pride that will make me say yes and then you will come up with some plan to defeat me! Well, not this time. I will only stop if you can give me an adequately researched paper on why I should with proper graphs, charts, and a cost-benefit analysis as to why!"
"Haha! The fool, there is no way he could have a properly researched paper in such a small amount of time."

Tails handed him a paper.
Super King Scourge began to read the paper, looking it over inch by inch. He began to read it over and look over every inch of the paper, eyes widening in shock and amazement. Then he lifted the next sheet, looking at the graph, both the dotted line and the sloping line that showed the cost-benefit analysis of letting your opponent live, being merciful, and being a good ruler. The next few pages were a well-documented and referenced paper about how mercy and letting pride take over was a good way to be a stronger person and why it should be advisable.
After reading for a few minutes, he sighed in defeat and nodded, "I concede your point. All right, the deal is made." he then shook Tails' hand and walked away.
Tails grinned,"Hook, line, sinker." He whispered, before picking up Sonic and flying off.
Super King Scourge called Starline, "Boss...I just got beat with math."
Starline facepalmed,"... Really?"
"No, really, look," Super King Scourge ran to Starline and gave him the paper, "see?"
Starline took the paper, and then gasped, "Oh my god... this is quite profound!"
Super King Scourge nodded, "Yeah, and he even had references and everything. I mean, what could I do?"
Starline nodded,"You're right, when someone brings up so many sources like this, you can't do much about it!"
"Hey Tails," Sonic mumbled, "What hit me?"
"A train named Super Scourge." Tails said,"Now we need a plan."
"Good, little sis. Do you have an idea? Because I think I am suffering from a concussion, and maybe an out-of-cartoon experience." Sonic said, looking up at Mario as he held Sonic.
Tails sighed, "Please tell me Angel Island is in this world."
"Angel Island?" Sonic asked, still woozy. Then he paused, looked back up at Tails, and in his daze he saw a cute bunny. Shaking his head, he looked back up at his little brother and shook his head, "Never heard of it. Let me see the tourism book." he then reached into his pocket to find a map.
"Hmmm, Spaghetti Land, Car Land, Cloud Land, Sarasa. What kind of places are thi-Oh," he paused and threw out the book of travel locations of the Mushroom Kingdom. He then pulled out the Mobius book, " There it is."
Tails looked over his shoulder,"Oh, I didn't expect it to be in a travel guide!"
"Yeah, it says right here, "Secret Location. Only come here if you believe in fairies, ghosts, the Lost City of Animalantis, the flames of Disaster of Soleanna, the Metarex, and the Little Planet."
Tails nodded,"Well, I believe in all of those things, so..."
Sonic landed on his feet, "So, what's at the island so I can have a rematch with the loser?"
Tails looked at Sonic,"The Master Emerald... if it exists here."
"Well, it's a start. Let's see if we can get a plane," Sonic said, getting ready to race off.
"Excuse me, palsy. Was I overhearing correctly that you need a plane?" came a very overbearing and very slimy voice that sounds like he sold his own mother for a buck.
"Don't be silly, Mr. Narrator. I sold her for ten. I love my momma way more than a dollar," Wes said.
Tails looked at him,"Yes, we're looking for a plane."
Wes Weasely smiled as he stepped to the two, "Well, well, well, my good friends. Have I got a deal for the both of you!"
"What's the catch," Sonic asked, with his arms crossed and tapping his foot.
"Catch, what do ya mean catch? My pal, I'm frankly insulted at such an idea! Do you really think I would squelch on a customer, especially as since I have already sold two planes previously to two happy customers? One cat and one very angry possum."
Axel Gear smiled as he flew at Sparkester, "Ok you miserable bastard, see if you can take on 4000 lbs of pure" the engine of the plane went out, as well as the wing, the other wing, the engine, and soon the cockpit, "Piece of SHIT!"
Sparkster smirked as he charged up his rocket to kick some ass.
Wes smiled and pulled out a contract and a coupon, "Why right now, I am offering a free coupon for a Game Gear for the first purchase of one of my planes. And I am offering the most advanced jet I have, ESPECIALLY FOR YOU, for only small payments of 10 mobiums. Just sign here and you'll be on your way to the amazing Angel Island!"
"Wait, you've been there?" Sonic asked, looking over the contract.
"Been there? Why Sonic my good friend, I offered a good trip to a nursing home to the father of the guardian there!" Wes said.
Tails raised an eyebrow,"And this plane works."
"OF course it does!" Wes said.
"Can I test fly it?" Tails asked,"... or Sonic if he's feeling up to it?"
Wes smiled and nodded, "Why sure, here's the keys," he said, handing off the keys to Sonic and walking away from the jet. "Here's the jet.."
Sonic walked up to it and looked back at Tails, "Ready to catch me?"
Tails nodded,"As ready as I can be."
As Sonic got near it, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, "What about that red and white one?"
"Oh that?" Wes said, looking at the propeller plane, "That's just a boring model. I was going to sell it to a museum for a clean tax-for a lying dectu-for charity."
"So you would say that it's more dangerous than this?" Sonic asked.
"No, it's safer and way more convient. But you would have to repair it yourself for the cheap," Wes said.
"Then we'll take it, bye Weasley," Sonic said, pushing the red and white plane away.
"...Did I just lose a deal?"
Tails flew to the plane and began to stroke it,"Baby..."
Sonic patted Tails on the shoulder, "Need a moment?"
Tails nodded,"Just... let me touch it..."
Sonic gave Tails a moment to touch it. Nicole, on the other side, smirked, "Oh Tails, darling. I missed you. I can't wait for you tom back to me." she said in a slight falsetto.
Tails gasped,"Tornado? You were!?"
"Oh yes Tails," Nicole continued, trying to not giggle at her little prank. "I have so much o tell you about our love and desire for each other. Oh, I need you in me!"
"I will go in you!" Tails played along, though he wasn't quite sure what Nicole meant by that.
Sonic rolled his eyes as he got on top of the plane, "A boy and his plane."
Tails went inside, adjusted the seat a little, and then started it up.
The music got started as the plane took off. Sonic ad a smirk as he watched the ground beneath him disappeared and the sky unfolded before him. With the wind in his quills, he enjoyed the freedom that the air gave him. Down below, Wes Weasley waved them off, "Good Luck Palsy. I'll be rooting for you." he said, before picking up a cell phone, "Put 20 on Scourge."
"Yes sir," a green canary said, putting in the money on the leaderboard.
Scourge; 100 to 1
Sonic: .01 to 100000
Super King Scourge smiled as he put some mobiums onto the betting table, "All on me. Don't worry, my boss will cover it."
Meanwhile, Wes pulled out another phone to make another plan, "So, Mr. Ley sir, tell me how fast you can get me out of here."
Ridley played with the phone, "As soon as you call us, we'll beam you out. Just be sure to pay us the weapons and supplies you promised."
"Will do, Mr. Kill Crazy sir."
As Ridley hung up the phone, he looked to you, "How did he know my family name is Kilcrazy?"
Sonic looked ahead, "Angel island, dead ahead!"
Tails nodded as he got prepared to land it,"Be careful, the inhabitant might not be initially friendly."
Sonic shrugged, "Come on, how bad can it be?"
"Well, when I first met him, he knocked you out."
Sonic landed from the plane as Tails put into the parking space, "Well, maybe I can see it coming."
"Halt!" A certain red echidna appeared from the forest,"Who goes there?"
"The name is Sonic and me and the bro are looking for something called the master emerald?"
"So, the Master Emerald and the Seven Chaos Emeralds are what you desire? If you want it, you'll have to pass my test." Knuckles said, before turning and heading into the forest,"I'll be waiting in the temple beyond Mushroom Hill."
Sonic shrugged looking back at Tails, "Well, this seems easy. No knocking ou."
Tails frowned,"Too easy."
They walked through Mushroom Hill... only for a figure to come out from behind a shroom with a bite.
Toad stepped out of the shadows, looked at Sonic and Tails, and whispered, "Run."
Sonic looked at the figure, "Hey, shadows! Come on out so we can say hi!"
The figure rose to his full height, revealing a green crocodile with headphones,"Alright!" He punched at Sonic.
Tails flew back,"Vector!" He then dodged a small bee charging at him,"Charmy!"
The bee turned to him and frowned,"Awfully quick!"
A couple of kunai were thrown at Sonic,"That must be Espio!"
Sonic back jumped and bounced from tree to tree to dodge out of the way of the attacks, "So, a flyer, a muscle, and a ninja. All we need is super strength and we have a whole set."
A yellow flying squirrel flew down at him,"I-I can fly too!"
Then a spinning red ball jumped up at Sonic.
Sonic let out a gasp as he leaped out of the way of the red ball, only to lose his footing as it hit the tree and made him shake from the impact. Getting up, he saw the armadillo walking toward him with hands behind his back, "Let me guess...Mighty?"
"Yep!" The armadillo said.
"Right, nice to know your mom was confident in your life choice," Sonic said, putting his palm down and revving up his feet, "Tails, how are you doing up there?"
Tails flew down next to Sonic,"Fine." He looked at the group of Mobians grouping up in front of them.
"That's right!" Vector said,"We're the Chaotix!" They all struck poses.
Sonic just stood there dumbfounded at the sight of the Mobians doing a sentai pose.
Vector then pointed at Sonic,"If you want those emeralds, you'll have to get past us!"
Sonic smirked,"No problem. I mean how.." he trailed off, thinking, "How tough are you?"
Vector cracked his knuckles,"Wanna find out!?"
Sonic let loose, "Sure!"
(Sounds of random violence)
Charmy was thrown aside,"Of course, I'm the first to fall...
Sonic panted, holding a little fly swatter in hand, "Thank goodness I bought this."
Vector chomped down on him.
Sonic jumped out of the way, narrowly missing the chomp. Looking down, he rolled down his boot, "Phew, everyone almost found out."
Sonic landed away and then ran up to Vector, before pausing and noticing something in his pocket. Smirking, he paused and said, "Wait! It's 9:00 am. Time for all good crocs to go to bible school!"
Vector gasped,"You're right!" he pulled out a bible and a crucifix, and then ran off.
"Phew, bible thumpers are so easy to trick sometimes," Sonic commented.
A couple of kunai was thrown at Sonic from a tree.
"Wait!" Sonic shouted up to Espio, "I dropped my contact lens! I swear if your kunai broke it..."
The chameleon sighed,"Fine..."
As Espio looked, Sonic kicked him hard in the behind. While he did this, he put his black-eye contact to cover his green eye.
Tails gasped,"I knew it... he lied to me."
"What?" asked Sonic.
"My Sonic made up some stupid story about a Super Emerald that changed his eye color and shoes! But now I realize he just got new contacts and a new pair of shoes! He was just trying to make himself sound cool!" Tails shouted.
Sonic paused and tapped his foot, "That does something I would do. I do get a little embarrassed by the fact I wear contacts. Makes me think of when I was a kid and wore glasses. So I would try and make something awesome up to hide it."
"Well, that does make sense." Tails said.
At that point, Ray swooped in for an attack.
Sonic rolled to the side and looked up, "Ok, a flying squirrel is surprising."
Ray crossed his arms,"And a flying fox isn't!?"
"True, I was happily surprised then too," Sonic said as he looked at Ray, thinking.
Ray looked at him,"W-what are thinking about?"
"How to quickly take you out before your friend does something like slam me with a big old tree."
"Like the tree behind you?"
"What tr-" Sonic was cut off by the tree hitting him in the back and sending him flying. "Your mom and dad must be so proud of how you kept healthy."
Mighty nodded,"Yep! It's a treat for my sister too!"
Sonic shook his head, "Is she as buff as you?"
"Well, she's still learning how to lift things, but she's pretty strong herself!" Mighty said.
"I'm so proud of her," Sonic said, "Shame I'm about to beat her brother up though."
"Not likely." Mighty cracked his knuckles.
"Oh yeah, very likely," Sonic said, running around mighty in a circle to cause him to fly up in a tornado.
"Whoa!" Mighty yelped,"Wasn't expecting this!"
"All those muscles and not a brain to use them?" Sonic said. As he watched Mighty rise high before falling, he said, "If this is the best that rad red got? We got it made Tails."
Tails nodded.
"You have a lot of confidence." Mighty got with a grin,"But Knuckles won't be easily taken down. You must fight him alone, your little brother can't come with you."
Sonic looked back at Tails, seeing him taking out Ray with an intimating look. Then he smiled, "Oh come on, how tough can he be."
A pause button showed up as Robotnik smiled and leaned back, "Oh, this is just great. I am so glad that Starline installed my new DVR security system. And record."
The pause button left the screen as Sonic walked slowly toward the giant temple.
Chaos Emerald chamber, deliveries in the back. Friday night, party night. Liquor in the front and poker in the rear. Appointments by Locke.
Keep out all immigrants, this means you.
If you want to see the master emerald, please see the tourist center at the entrance to the island and at the "Enchindas are Awesome" Museum at Echindalopis.
"Echinda-what?" Sonic asked, "What kind of tribe would be egotistical enough to name it after their species?"
Knuckles stood waiting on the steps in front of a large green emerald,"Yeah, not proud of that part of my history."
"Seriously, were they just vain or just wanted to brag about how cool they are?" Sonic asked.
"I'd say vain." Knuckles walked down towards Sonic,"I see you passed my team."
Sonic smirked, "Yeah they were easy."
"Unfortunately, you won't find me so easy." Knuckles walked up to him.
Sonic began to walk slowly towards Knuckles, lighting flowing off of his body. His black eyes narrowed as he took off toward the red echidna. He struck out with rapid-fire fisticuffs, striking out at him. After a few moments, Sonic panted and then looked as he saw Knuckles holding Sonic's fist, "Please, don't punch me off the island."
Knuckles smirked," No." He punched Sonic off the island, where Tails caught him.
Little Flickies flew over Sonic's head as he was airlifted back onto the island, "T-thank you mystic little dragons. Now take me back to avenge my daddy,"
Tails patted his cheek with some ice,"Ready for round 2?
"You bet. This time I'll come in so fast he won't see me coming," Sonic said, racing off only to fly away through the air a few seconds later.
"Ok, so he's strong, all I need is a good hit and he'll-" Sonic ran off, only to be knocked through the air again. "Knock me away!"
"Oh, he won't see this coming, I'll wait under the stairs for him!" Sonic said, rushing under the stairs.
"Hey." Knuckles said.
Sonic snickered, "Hey."
"What are you doin'?" Knuckles asked.
"Waiting for the echidna to come down so I can surprise him," Sonic said.
"Neat." Knuckles said.
"Yeah, that red moron won't think of..." Sonic paused and looked at the white fist as it came straight at his face. "Momma." He was then slammed out of the temple. Again.
Knuckles lay on the stairs, waiting. He knew Sonic would be coming for a third round and he was waiting. However, he began to hear soft music playing in the distance. As he began to drift off, he was given some warm milk, a blanket, and a Blaze the Cat (TM) plush. With a little yawn, he began to fall asleep.
Sonic smiled as he looked at the sleeping Knuckles and snuck toward the Master Emerald. As he snuck closer, he watched in horror as Knuckles began to walk towards him, "Wait, how are you-" he then heard Knuckles snore, "Oh Soap Shoes...he sleepwalks." he said before feeling the power of a punch hitting him upside the face.
Sonic awoke laying on the bed. Shaking his head, he said, "Unfortunately for me...I don't give up!" he then rolled out of the bed, a determined look in his eyes, "Tails. While I try this new trick, you come up with a backup plan with his weakness."
"You got it!" Tails said.
After a few moments, Knuckles could hear the sounds of trumpets and a cheesy band playing. Standing a few feet away from him was a very dapper hedgehog with large bouffant hair. Racing forward, the hedgehog said, "Congratulations Mr. Echidna. You have won an all-expense paid trip around Mobius! You'll see such amazing sights and sounds. Such as Marble Zone, with its lava, or Hillside Zone with its AMAZING... Hills."
"But I-"
Interrupting him, the hedgehog began to walk Knuckles away from the Master Emerald towards a waiting plane (Trip sponsored by Wes Weasely Air. Wes Weasely Air, why pick here?) "Or check out Soleanna and find out what it means to be a furry."
"Or go for a wonderful rooftop run. Or you could look up just where on Mobius Hyrule would be located," the hedgehog said, pushing Knuckles into the plane. Then he used his speed to start it up and push him and the plane off the island to parts unknown. Smiling, he took off his costume to reveal Sonic, "And that is how you take out an idiot Echidna."
Whistling his theme song, he began to walk up the way towards the waiting master emerald with a smile on his face. For a second he looked at the reader, "Look, I know what you are thinking, and he is NOT going to appear at the top of these stairs!"
A finger poked Sonic on the shoulder,"No, right behind you." Knuckles was behind him, wearing a flower wreath, a Hawaiian shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a nice hat. In his hand next to him was a suitcase with several stickers from Soleanna, Station Square, and Meropis.
As the fist hit Sonic hard, all he could think of was just how much pain he was going to be in the morning.
So he slept until the afternoon. Once twelve rang, Sonig woke up and looked at that alarm clock that hovered in the sky, "One of these days, I'm going to find out where that came from."
Somewhere on Little Planet.
Nickolas O' Tyme, master of the time stones, looked around, "Now I know I left that floating clock around here somewhere."
Back on Mobius
"Tails, got any ideas on how to handle him? I think he's read the same book I did," Sonic said.
Tails began to think for a minute, and then smiled,"I got it! Knuckles is weak around women!"
Sonic smiled, "Perfect."
A few minutes later.
Knuckles would hear the dulcet tones from a lovely pink echidna with metallic braids, "Oh yoohoo"
Knuckles' eyes widened at the echidna,"Oh- oh my..." He looked away.
The pink echidna walked up slowly to him, tucking his chin as she asked, "Wanna, show me around the island?" she said, taking him by the hand and walking away.
Knuckles dumbly said,"Uh huh..."
The echidna let out a giggle as she led Knuckles away, while Sonic began o walk away from a tree. Shaking his head, he said, "Thank goodness I found that girl. I just wish more people were like me when it comes to romance. When I see a cute girl, I would usually confess to them right away." he said, walking up to the Master Emerald.
The echidna girl, Julie-Su, smiled as she held Knuckles' hands, "Knuckles... before we continue this date, I need to deliver a message."
Knuckles, too distracted by a woman, let out a goofy chuckle, "Pretty girl."
Julie then leaned in, and kissed Knuckles on the lips softly, "You lose."
Knuckles giggled,"Okay..."
"Wait. What!?"
"I said, you lose. And the hedgehog wanted me to give you this," Julie-Su said, giving Knuckles a lollipop."But after you see him, can we continue our date? I never was able to really get the strength to ask you before because, well, I mean, I'm a little plain in comparison to the great guardian. I was hoping maybe Echidnadoplis tinder would let us match."
Knuckles scratched the back of his head,"Well, I guess we could..."
"Yay!" Squeed Julie-Su as she kissed Knuckles on his nose and skipped away.
Sonic smiled, "Hey, Knux, sorry for taking these seven, but I kind of need them to kick an evil me's can!"
Knuckles nodded,"Well, you outsmarted me. Go. Save the world."
"Thanks," Sonic said, "And good luck."
"Good luck?"
Julie-Su gave Knuckles a quick kiss on the cheek, "Good luck."
Then there was a flash of yellow light surrounding the island.
̶S̶c̶o̶u̶r̶g̶e̶ Super King Scourge sat on a throne made of robot skulls. Taking out a small head and drinking from it, he said, "And remember, it's Super King Scourge. If I am going to rule a planet, I want some good old fashion marketing: T-shirts, jackets, cartoon shows, video game series, and a guest spot on Critical Role," Super King Scourge said, talking on his phone, "Oh, they'll have me. After I kidnap Ashley Johnson they'll have no choice but-"
"To watch you get beaten by a Golden Hedgehog," a voice said.
Super Loser Scourge paused and said, "No, I was going to say, 'give in to my demands and let me use my broken character'." he said, before being knocked off the chair by a lightning bolt. And then punched by a hedgehog in the face.
"Weird weather," Sonic said, watching as the black clouds dissipated.
Slowly getting to his feet, Super pathetic Scourge shook his head, "Oh, you think you are all awesome because you have your super mode on. Well, I came prepared! Starline! show him how I had you capture his little brother in the meantime and Fiona can show him being slowly robotized and tortured."
Starline and Fiona were laying on beach chairs near him. Fiona was in a Super King Scourge Bikini, drinking lemonade while looking at him.
Starline pulled his shades down,"Super King Scourge, you never told us to do that."
Super Loser Scourge growled, "Yes I did. I put in a memo I gave you guys.
1. Become King of the world.
2. Nothing wrong with me
3. Set up Merchandising and Actual play empire to take over the internet.
4. Something's got to give.
5. Go out and kidnap Tails.
And then
1. Something's got to give.
2. Torture Tails.
3. Something's got to give
and then Test out Super mode with a massive cuddle session with my girl."
"You forgot one," Sonic said.
"What?"
"The body then hits the floor," Sonic said, performing a roundhouse to send Scourge flying.
Starline drank his lemonade," Considering he went against our plans... this is karma."
Fiona nodded and began to sip as she watched the show.
Super Scourge looked around him, "Oh god no."
The bob-oms all smiled as they exploded around him, leaving him standing alone in the crater. Growled with rage, he said, "Ok, you want an epic fight? You got it, as much as the DiC studios budget allows."
Scourge held up his iPod and pressed a button, "Let's dance."
However, as the music began to play, the yellow bolt flew by and pressed a different button, and with a smirk turned into a spin dash to strike Scourge in the stomach. With a yelp, the green hedgehog found himself skidding along the ground and creating a dust cloud.
Shaking his head, Scourge pulled out a super chainsaw and ran at Sonic, slamming the weapon deep into his body and turning it on. Laughing, he watched as the chainsaw began to dig into and tear apart his own little teddy bear, "What?!" he said, watching in horror as the white fluff flew out of its corpse.
Super Sonic stood behind him, "Behold, Violence, and yadda yadda. Deeper meaning and stuff. Let's just say punch me now and be done with it."
"Punch me now?" asked Scourge, only to realize what he just said as he felt a punch in the face hitting him hard enough to send him flying.
Super Sonic stood there for a moment, letting the energy flow off his body, "Let's see, I punched him through a mountain, and a building, and blew him up. What's next?"
"How about you hide in this box?" asked Scourge.
Super Sonic shrugged and walked in. As he did, Super Scourge laughed as he slammed the box shut, nailed it, set it on fire, put it into the safe, mailed the safe to Three-mile island, let the nuke hit it, fed the remains to Godzilla, used the oxygen destroyer to kill Godzilla, and then burned the laptop typ-
...
...
...
Now that I fixed the laptop, we can continue.
Scourge laughed, "HA! I defeated him! He's gone."
"Really?" Super Sonic asked.
"Yes! And now I can rule!" Scourge said.
"How, you are out of super mode," Super Sonic said.
Scourge looked at him, "What? No, I'm not!"
"Oh yeah, then why hasn't the text described you as Super?" asked Super Sonic.
Scourge looked at Super Sonic, "What do you-wait, I am confused. I lost the fourth wall-breaking ability! I am normal!" He looked over his now-green body.
"Yeah and that means it's time for a-"
"-Butt whooping?" asked Scourge.
"Yep." Super Sonic said as he gave him a butt whoopin'!
Scourge, in a lot of pain, whimpered as he tried to crawl away to the ring, "F-f-flip, you. I hope the next world you land in is trauma-causing."
Super Sonic smirked, "Look buddy, you can want that all you want. But Tails isn't one to let him let that get to him. If he's anything like my tails, He loves life and will keep the memory of the fun times here close to him. Even when he's an adult, he can appreciate just how fun it was to be a kid with his big brother."
an anvil appears that says MORAL!
Tails looked down at his feet,"You know what? You're right!"
"OF course, who would know better, than your big bro?" Super Sonic said, hugging Tails tightly, "No matter what, I'm always going to be here for ya kid."
A bright flash shone before Tails' eyes. When he awoke next, he saw several robots bearing down at him. Next to him was a sheep in a cloak,"Zonerunner, fight!"
Tails looked up at them,"Oh boy..."
