Hey, guys! I'm done making this awesome chapter for the story which will revolve around everybody's favorite samba monkey. This chapters going to be a tad dark and sad, hence the name of the chapter. This chapter will establish Amigo as a fighter unlike his usual peaceful and compassionate self. You will also hear of Tails, Sonic, Alex Kidd, and Amy in this chapter as well. Enjoy!
One sunny day in the Latino inhabited area of Samba Town, there is a massive samba parade that was being hosted for the crazy citizens of this colorful town. There is a series of cactus's blowing on their trumpets walking in from of a large colorful float with the logo "Samba De Amigo." On the front of the float, there is a tall leopard playing the congas and a large cheetah playing the mandolin. Next to them, a beautiful butterfly girl served as the samba dancer for the group and dancers with a smile on her face. A cheetah pretty boy is on the left side of the float playing his silver trumpet in an elegant manner. Two monkeys are behind them as the lead samba players for the group. One is an older female wearing a pink skirt and played with tambourines while the other is a younger male that wore mariachi clothing and played the maracas.
The song "Samba De Janiero" played in this festive parade to get every citizen in the mood for some music and dancing. Everything was going according to plan since Samba De Amigo, the name of Amigo's traveling music group, planned this song perfectly to make this the best samba festival ever. Soon as the song was over, Amigo threw his sombrero into the air as all the other members pose to make the crow go nuts. The crowd stills cheers after the happy monkey retrieved his sombrero for a climax effect. All members of Samba De Amigo bowed as the star eyed Amigo does so after his final act. Everyone started to get an uneasy look as they saw something strange in the sky. Amigo and his crew looks up and become as equally startled as their fans when they witness a fleet of airships arrive.
Everyone in the crowd starts to panic and head for their now static buildings when their fiesta was officially crushed by this unexpected event. The cactus horn players start to back up slowly as the sky darkens the happy town. Amiga starts to even move closer to her younger hermano for comfort since she's scared that things were about to go wrong. Bingo and Bongo arrived on the scene since they knew that their fellow band members were in trouble. Linda started to hug Rio as he puts down his trademark rose for the first time in history for a dramatic effect. Chumba and Wamba looked at the ship speechlessly as it starts to dispense a purple cloud of mysterious material all over the town. Amigo jumps off of the float and frantically attempts to run to his house until a large bull masked man falls in front of him.
He swings his heavy chainsaw at the monkey as he ducks for his life to save himself. Amigo opens his eyes and couldn't believe it. Some of cactus musicians sacrificed their lives to save their boss. Amigo looks in horror as the halved cactus bodies dropped to the floor and fountains of cactus juice is spraying everywhere, truly some carnage he'd never experience in his home town. The bull masked man started to roar as a flood of subspace seep into the bodies of the dead cactus musicians. They start to reattach themselves quickly and revealed their glowing eyes to show their former boss that they aren't "human" anymore. They jumped past the shocked Amigo and prepared to kill off the entire Samba De Amigo group. Amigo looks at his maraca holding hands sadly and clenches them to show that he has to do what he never did before to save his group and beloved hermana.
He dashes at the possessed cacti and beat them one by one with a heavy maraca strike. Within each strike, he was angry and sad at the same time. Then, the bull masked man jumps up to Amigo and smacked him against a building for foiling his comrades' plans. Big Bull revs up his chainsaw and walks closely towards Samba de Amigo as they back up against the float in peril. Amigo regains his senses and became surprised by the fact that more Big Bulls and possessed cacti surrounded him. He finally realizes that music is the only solution to save him from his "final live performance." and winks to show no fear to his aggressors. Amigo jumped into the air and gains the sacred golden maracas and his happy star shaped eyes to begin playing the song "Vamos a Carnival."
The Big Bulls and cactus started to twitch at first, then started to uncontrollably dance to join in on Amigo's conga line. Amigo guided the conga line in his jolly mood and his music closer to the float in hopes of hypnotizing the last Big Bull too. Amiga starts to play her tambourines unafraid since she knew that Amigo needs all the additional noise possible to make this song even better. Big Bull hesitates with his chainsaw, which gave Chumba and Wamba the opportunity to play their instruments too. Rio manned up and blows on his trumpet as the large teddy bears start beating their drums. Linda smiled and contributes by doing her seductive dancing around Big Bull in order to tempt him into dancing. A flood of other possessed cacti and Big Bulls arrive on the scene to join the conga line as the happy monkey leads them from the heart of Samba Town. The Big Bull on the float finally gave in and did a goofy dance to follow the rest of his hypnotized henchmen in a fit of uncontrollable happiness.
Amigo reached the entrance of Samba Studios with the massive conga line behind him before he commits his final act. He jumps into the air and poses as golden maracas fly from behind him. A massive explosion of sunshine and confetti occurs in the area, which gains the attention of a round robot that stood on one of the airships. He was red and gray and was sitting next to Eggman's old Eggpod.
"Subspace diminished. Henchman defeated. Target still lives," said the round robot.
He hops into the Eggpod and flies towards the hood of the airship to inform his fellow Legion of Subspace members what happened at Samba Town. The smoke clears and Amigo looks around to make sure that he didn't cause to damage to his beloved film studio. He gets relieved that only the walkway was damaged by his special attack method. One of the downed cacti started raising his hand in pain, which get's the attention of his boss. He runs up to him with a sad face as his best musician was bleeding and seriously hurt after being possessed by a Shadow Fiend. He looked in to his teary eyed simian boss's eyes as they tried their best not to close immediately. He gives him a gesture to show that he did the best he could to fight of the darkness and that it's time "for him to go." The cactus finally goes limp and Amigo slowly puts his arm down since it is too late to save him. He sits down and starts slowly crying since he was forced to kill off his musicians and several innocent citizens that were possessed. To make things worse, no one could hear him crying at all since he is naturally mute like the rest of his people. This marks one of the most tragic events ever to occur in Samba Town and the first time that the town's festivity "died." Amigo heard a deep rolling sound and quickly wiped his tears. He looked to the side and notices a large ball containing an unconscious monkey rolling towards him.
It was none other than Aiai, which makes Amigo a little happier than he was earlier. He walks up to the ball and taps it in hopes of awakening his fellow monkey. It doesn't work and Amigo does a thinking gesture to find out what to do. He gets an idea, complete with the cartooney bulb appearing above his head, and starts playing the song "Mambo Verano" to liven up the mood. Aiai's hand twitched a few times and his legs started to move. He noticed the movement and knew that his plan is working very well. Amigo keeps playing while keeping a positive demeanor in hopes of waking his amigo up. The monkey's body moved even more within more of the festive music's sound traveling through the hollow monkey ball. Amigo gained stars in his eyes to show how excited he is to see someone enjoy his music of revival.
Aiai opens his eyes and shouts, "Yeeeyaaaay!"
This causes him to be ejected out of his monkey ball and posed in midair as confetti shoots from the ball. He landed on the ground and noticed Amigo waving to him. He gains massive tears in his eyes and rushed towards his friend to congratulate him for his lively act.
"Yeayeayeah," hooted Aiai as he shakes Amigo's hand to show how thankful he is.
Then, he began to become worried and he looked at Samba Studios to see that something wasn't quit right around here. Aiai eventually experiences a flashback where he was knocked out of the Station Square Coliseum by an unknown force back when Sonic and friends were fighting the Shadow Fiends. He gets back into reality with a shocked scream that even made Amigo drop to the ground in surprise. Aiai gets his sad felling and bows down in despair at this realization. Amigo walks up to his sad monkey friend and pats him on his shoulder with a smile on his face in order to cheer him up. Aiai eventually feels better and gets up to his feet after seeing what his silent monkey amigo was "telling" him.
"Yeeeeeaaaaah!" shouted Aiai as he prepares to depart this area.
Amigo brings out his Party Mobile from the second Sonic Sega All Stars tournament, specifically the one from the transformed races.
"Ei ei poo, yeah yeah yeah!" yelled Aiai as he encases himself inside his trusty monkey ball.
Both monkeys race through Samba Studios for old times sake since they figured this would be a shortcut to out of town.
Meanwhile, Sonic is running on foot next to Tails in his Tornado in hopes of finding a Chaos Emerald before the Legion of Subspace does. Tails seems to be looking for more people to contact other than Beat, who managed to find the first Chaos Emerald. Sonic notices Tails messing around with his handheld invention and starts to talk to him.
"Hey, buddy! Are you sure we should trust Alex Kidd and Amy being alone together?" Sonic asked.
"Don't worry," said the young fox, "I told them to take the safest route to Morning Land to recruit Billy Hatcher on their quest."
Sonic sighs and responded, "You're right, Tails. I shouldn't really be that worried."
"Besides, I'm talking to them now," said Tails as he activates his transmitter.
A screen appears to show Alex Kid riding his Sukopako Motorcycle with Amy right behind him. They both were rather happy to see an old friend of theirs in his home again.
"Tails, we are on our way to the place since Omochao is leading us in the right direction," said the cheerful boy.
A blue robotic Chao flies towards Alex's face and waves to the camera like the obedient robot he is. Tails wasn't really surprised by this since Omochao was known to help those on their journey, usually giving them tons of advice on the way.
"Omochao, I'm glad that you had received my message earlier. Are you sure that they are in the right direction?" said the cautious Tails.
"Don't worry," said the mechanical Chao, "My indicators tell me that we are going to the right direction."
Tails laughs slightly to show a sign to his blue friend that the others were alright. Sonic sighs in relief and focuses on his more important goal ahead of him.
"Alright, we are about to end transmission immediately. Good bye, everyone!" said Tails.
"Bye, Tails," said Amy, Alex Kidd, and Omochao in unison.
The screen shuts down and Tails maneuvers the Tornado East towards Samba Town in hopes of finding Aiai. Sonic kept running to his side to keep his twin tailed buddy in check during their travel session.
Amigo and AiAi are still speeding a couple blocks towards the exit of Samba Town to find their other friends and having fun at the same time. Aiai started to slowly loss his cheerful demeanor and see something that he really didn't like.
"Wuahahahaha!" Aiai beams as a large object appears in front of the exit.
Amigo sees this potential threat pulls out his maracas in hopes of destroying their enemy. Soon as they get closer, it turns out to be Amiga and the others riding on the larger float they used at last year's Samba Festival. Both monkeys braked immediately and left their respective uses of transportation to get a closer look at the crew. It appears that the group wants to say goodbye before their boss leaves home and greeted him with sad looks on their faces. Amigo grew really sad since he knows that it's time to accept their adios and leave his home for a serious mission. The first people to reach Amigo were Chumba and Wamba. Both cheetahs hugged their boss with respect and stepped aside slowly to let Rio have his chance. Rio takes out his hand and shakes it after Amigo grabs it. Rio nodded and walks away as Linda rushes him to kiss Amigo on his head.
He blushes severely as the somber beautiful dancer walks away. Bingo and Bongo sneaks behind Amigo to give him a hard pat on the back. Amigo jumps in pain and rubs his back is if he was hit by a frying pan. Mr. Cactus, who was never at this year's festival like the bear twins, walks up to Amigo and gives him a salute to show his gratitude for him. Amigo waved back at him and turned to see someone he will really miss. Lastly, Amiga walks up to her brother with a look of sadness and looked back into his watery eyes. She eventually gives her hermana a nice warm hug to show that she will really miss him. Amigo walks past everyone with even more tears in his eyes as Aiai follows by. Aiai put his arm around him to show taht things were going to be fine. Amigo eventually turns around and wave goodbye to his "familia" and wiped his tears away. Both monkeys entered their vehicles and left the area to the point of no return as Samba De Amigo waves back sadly.
Near the outskirts of the desert near Samba Town, Sonic and Tails heads towards their destination to rescue Aiai. Sonic speeds across the blazing hot ground with ease, making sure nothing slows him down. Tails flies in the Tornado and wipes his sweaty forehead since he lacks a cooling system. He looks at the map to make sure the tracking device reveals Aiai location. The red marker on the radar starts moving out of the town, which was a sign that Aiai was leaving the town.
Good thing I managed to find a trace of Aiai's fur or else we'd never be able to track him down.
Sonic looks up at Tails to ask him about the status of their mission.
"Tails, have you seen where Aiai is?" asked the concerned hedgehog.
"Yes, he is actually heading towards us at the moment," replied Tails.
Sonic gains a shocked look and looks ahead of him to make sure what his fox friend said was true. Off in the horizon, two objects in the distance reveal themselves to the heroes. He smirked and laughed a little like the upbeat hedgehog he is.
"Tails, I can see him and someone else over there!" he yelled.
Amigo peers out of his Party Mobile to see two objects in the distance heading their way. One of them was blue and spiky, just like Amigo's buddy Sonic. Amigo gains stars in his eyes and nodded at Aiai to let him know that their friend's have arrived. Aiai double checked with his vision to make sure that it was really him.
"Oh, yeayeayea!" chirped the monkey as he runs faster to speed up his ball's movement.
Both groups moved even faster towards each other with massive grins in hopes of having a heartwarming reunion. Suddenly, a large amount of elephant masked men drills out of the ground between the heroes. Both sides are surprised since they least expected an ambush to occur and stopped dead in their tracks. Things turned for the worst this time around.
Whew, I can tell that some of your are as depressed as Amigo after reading this chapter. Don't worry, the next chapter will be a bit more action packed to make up for it. It will still focus on these characters since something amazing would occur in the next chapter. I hope some of you Aiai fans are happy to see your favorite monkey well and alive. Rate and review, my beloved fans!
