Silver screamed as he was being chased by mutant pizzas, being surrounded as he was trapped in an enclosed circle. Suddenly, an oven crushed him to death, killing him instantly as the pizzas cheered.
"Silver! No!" Toadette and Charmy cried as they gasped in horror, holding their hands together in horror.
Silver then suddenly appeared behind Toadette and Charmy, spooking them as they jumped, also catching the attention of the mutant pizzas, who all turned and ran towards Silver. Silver fired off several powerful blasts of green psychic at the pizzas, destroying them and completely covering the Pizza Hut in cheese, with all the customers and coworkers in yellow cheesy goop.
"Holy crabmeat crab cakes from the chubby junior yellow cheese craters!" Charmy exclaimed as he buzzed around Silver in glee, hugging him tightly as he began kissing Silver. "Oh, how glad am I that you're alive!"
Silver chuckled as he pushed Charmy off of him. "All right, thanks for all the kisses. But seriously, it was nothing."
Toadette placed her hands on her hips, somewhat confused. "Wait, couldn't you just have killed the mutated pizzas with your psychic earlier?"
Silver shrugged as he shook his head. "Look, I tried to get out of the Pizza Hut so that the Pizza Hut wouldn't be covered in cheese." He sighed in annoyance. "Like it currently is right now."
Charmy folded his arms, tilting his head to the right. "Wait a minute... how did you come back to life?"
Silver smirked as he wagged his right index finger. "Well, first off, this entire story is basically Once Per Episode, and second..." He pulled out several yellow rings from his red shirt pockets. "Always count on these babies."
"Rings?" Toadette and Charmy both mumbled in unison, still confused.
Espio walked by, exiting the bathroom as he folded his arms. "He always has a hundred rings with him. That way, if he were to somehow die, he would get an extra life and be brought right back to life." He then narrowed his eyes at Charmy. "You should know this, Charmy. Both of us have a hundred rings with us, too."
"Oh... yeah..." Charmy admitted with embarrassment as he laughed sheepishly.
Silver placed his hands on his hips as he looked around, shaking his head with a sigh. "With that explain, it's time to clean up this place. Lord help us if it collapses again." He muttered, grabbing a mop and cleaning up the cheese.
Suddenly, the Pizza Hut collapsed on itself from all the weight it was holding with the mutant pizzas earlier. But of course, it would be back to normal in a matter of days. Hours. Minutes. Or the next chapter.
Silver was cleaning the ovens as he got the prepared pizzas ready to cook. Placing each pizza in, he hummed to himself as he got out a fresh batch of pizza dough ready to make more. Suddenly, Silver heard a scream from Vector's office.
"Oh boy... Silver stated as he ran into the office, to find Vector lying on the floor. He gasped, running over to Vector and picking him up by the head. "Vex, say something!
Vector opened his eyes, glancing up at Silver. "Ugh... Silver... they came... those stupid hobos came..."
Silver tilted his head to the right in confusion. "Stupid hobos?"
Vector shook his head slowly. "Yeah... the ones who attacked the Pizza Hut years ago... they came back, and took my priceless penny..." He coughed as he closed his eyes. "My poor penny... stolen right from me..."
Silver stared at him blankly, not being able to mutter a word as he stared at Vector straight in the face. He then dropped Vector, heading back to work in the kitchen as he slammed the door shut.
"Ba ha, ha ha!" Scratch exclaimed as he noticed Silver coming back to the Pizza Hut with Sonic. "Now we'll get both hedgehogs, and then not only will our Taco Bell actually get customers, but we'll finally get our promotion from Dr. Robotnik!"
"Yeah!" Grounder added as he slammed his drill hands together. "I can't wait to see the look on those dumb mammals' faces when they see our latest trap!"
Silver and Sonic arrived at the Pizza Hut, only to be electrocuted. Suddenly, they caught on fire, screaming as they were in complete flames, running in circles as Scratch and Grounder laughed. However, Vector overheard the situation from inside his office, popping out of the ground as he grabbed Scratch and Grounder by the neck, wrapping them into a giant pretzle not as he kicked them away, rushing to Sonic and Silver, firing water at them from his mouth.
"Real talk?" Sonic admitted as he shook his head, completely soaked by Vector's water as he looked up at Vector. "Where did you get the water?"
Vector closed his eyes as he wagged his finger. "Ah ah ah! That's my secret!"
Sonic and Silver blinked as they looked at each other, the water dripping from their quills.
"Silver? Silver!" Toadette called out as she looked around in the kitchen, folding her arms as she murmured. "Ugh! I can't find him! Where is he?"
Charmy buzzed up towards Toadette, rubbing the back of his head. "Silver's on a pizza delivery to the Red Mountain!"
Toadette gasped as she covered her mouth with both of her hands. "The red mountain? Isn't that place pretty dangerous?"
Charmy wrapped his arms around the back of his head. "Well, I honestly don't know. I've never been there myself, personally."
Espio walked past Toadette and Charmy as he cast a glance at them, holding several unfinished pizza pies in his hands. "You two don't have to worry about Silver. But you should get back to making pizzas."
Toadette and Charmy turned to Espio, then looked at each other and nodded as they went to work on more pizzas. Silver would be all right.
Meanwhile, several miles away from Station Square...
"I knew this was a bad idea..." Silver muttered as he was hanging onto a ledge high up in the Red Mountain, holding onto only one box of pizza as he looked down, seeing several annoying badniks trying to get him.
