Chapter 7: H.D.S.V.A.D.L.:

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

If I could find a way to obtain that hedgehog's power, nothing could stand in my way! Then the doorbell started ringing. I decided to answer.

It was a weasel. "How are you, how are you, how are you? Ha ha! Wes Weasely's the name! Selling's the game! Ha ha! You need it, I got it! Don't got it, I'll get it! Ha ha! I represent the H.D.S.V.A.D.L. Company! That's right! And that stands for, 'Handy Dandy Super Villain Appliance Distributors Limited'! Heh! With my gadgets, your problem is solved!"

"Listen, Weasely, you are brash, arrogant, obnoxious, pushy, rude, and you dress funny," I said, "you're my kind of guy!"

"And I have what you need to take down the Freedom Fighters," says Weasely.

"Why would you want to defeat the ones who have sworn to save the entire planet," I asked.

"Because my company does business for villains and you're the biggest bad in all of Mobius," says Weasley, "now, take a look at this. Presenting the H.D.S.V.A.D.L. Darkenator! Heh! Where there's light, there won't be for long, with the Darkenator! Heh. Let me show you how it works." Wes Weasely hits one of the switches on the Darkenator with his right foot. A dark cloud forms over my fortress. We then heard Dingo scream. He's afraid of the dark, enough free demonstration." He then turns it off. "What do you think?"

"How much is it," I asked.

"For you, Doc, it's the one-time special half price! One hundred thousand Mobiums! It's the smart choice, palley. I'll even throw in two pairs of these nifty infra-red goggles! If you can see in the dark, and Sonic can't, even your henchmen can catch him."

"I see," I said, "there's just one thing." I then snapped my fingers and lasers are aimed at Weasely. "Now, how much was it?"

"Like I said, free!"

"It's the smart choice, palley," I said.

Sonic's POV:

I was running, but then it got dark. "What," I asked.

"Are you afraid of the dark, Hedgehog," asks Sleet, "too bad you don't have infra-red goggles like me and Dingo!"

They then grabbed me.

"This could be a problem," I said.

Then something knocked them out. I couldn't see what it was, but I think they were flying away. I just shrugged and ran off.

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

"Not my fault, not the machine's," says Weasely, "something that can handle the dark must've helped him. Probably a bat or an owl."

"I don't like being disappointed, Weasely," I said.

Weasely gulps. "Me neither. Who needs disappointments? But tell you what I'm gonna do! Yes siree, Robotnik, baby! I've got just the thing for you!" Wes Weasely reaches and pulls out the Freeze Banger, which he now has over his left shoulder, and is holding the nozzle in his right hand. "Presenting, the new, improved, undeniably grooved, Freeze Banger! Shoot a blast, the heat has passed, and Sonic the Hedgehog loses his fast! Let me show you how it works." Weasely then activates it, and it freezes Snively.

"I'll take two," I said.

Sonic's POV:

I was on my way back to the Great Forest, but then my body was suddenly frozen in ice! "What," I asked.

"It worked," says Sleet.

"Yayh, naow thaht haedgehawg's a hohgceecle!"

"Where are you guys getting this stuff," I asked.

"I'm so glad we can finally put you on ice," says Sleet.

Then we heard a screeching sound and the ice shatters. I then knocked the two down and ran off.

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

Sleet and Dingo bring Weasely to me. "Someone's going to pay," I said, "and it won't be me!"

"Tell you what I'm gonna do," says Weasely, "because you've been such good customers, I'm gonna let you get the first crack at our newest doozy! Presenting, El Fabuloso, El Stupendo, El Incrediblissimo! Super-Duper Gravity Stopper!"

"This better be good," I said.

"Allow me to demonstrate." Wes Weasely grabs the levers on the Gravity Stopper with both his hands, and a beam fires at, suspending us in the air.

"This could work," I said.

Sonic's POV:

I was thinking about these new weapons Sleet and Dingo have been using. I don't know why, but I feel like Robotnik hasn't been making them. But if he hasn't, then who has? And who's been saving my butt? Then I started flying. "I'm weightless!"

"Now he can't run, and he can't hide," says Sleet.

"Yayh, and we gawt saelf-gryvity boots!"

"Not bad, so how'bout you turn that thing off," I asked.

"We're not that dumb, Hedgehog," says Sleet.

"Yayh, weah nawt thaht dumb... wigh', weah nawt?"

"Of course not! If we shut off the Gravity Stopper machine, Sonic will fall fall back to the ground, and run away!"

"Actually, I can get away faster up here," I said.

"What," asks Sleet.

"You forget that I know a fox with a butt-copter and he's probably hiding around here to take me anywhere I want," I said.

Tails' POV:

I'm working in the workshop with Rotor. He's teaching me all kinds of tech things.

Sonic's POV:

They then turn the machine off. "Later." I then ran. That time, I didn't need the mystery person.

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

One of my swatbots came in with Weasely. "How are you, how are you, friends? Nice to be back, but you didn't have to arrange an escort. A simple message to my fax machine would have worked."

"Another product failed," I said.

"I can see you're slightly upset, but we stand behind our products, so, I'm prepared to refund your money! You say the Gravity Stopper cannon didn't work?"

"It worked," says Sleet, "Sonic just outsmarted us."

"Well, here's the thing, since you've been forcing me to give you everything for free... that means there's nothing to refund! But I know how to make it up to you! You, palsie, will be the first to try the all-new, the one, the only, H.D.S.V.A.D.L. De-atomizer!"

"What does it do," I asked.

"What does it do? What does it do? Just watch!" Wes Weasely now holds the De-Atomizer in his left hand. He squeezes the trigger with his right hand, and the De-Atomizer fires a beam at Sleet and Dingo, making them both disappear.

"The thing is," I said, "if Sonic disappears, then I wouldn't be able to take his power!"

"No problem! You just make a few adjustments, and materialize him, wherever you want!"

"What does that red switch do," I asked.

"We haven't had a chance to test it," says Weasely.

"I'll take your De-atomizer, and you, too," I said, "you're going to capture Sonic for me... or else!"

Weasely gulps. "Whatever you say, Pallsey!"

Sonic's POV:

I was on my way back to the Great Forest when a nearby rock disappeared. "What the-"

"Hello! Hello! Hello! Allow me to introduce myself! Wes Weasely, salesman to supervillains!"

"Then you're the one supplying Ro-Butt-Nik with the new weapons," I said.

"And with the De-atomizer, you're history!" He then tries to zap me, but I kept dodging. I then tackled him to the ground, and we wrestled for it, but then I hit the red switch. "Oh no! The red switch!" It then zaps me and there are four other me's. "Well, what do you know? The red switch makes it a cloner!"

The five of us then surrounded Weasely. He tried to leave, but we took him down!

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

I then started throwing things. "Where is that miserable weasel?"

Wes Weasely's POV:

I was speaking with my boss, T.W. Barker.

"I never met a more difficult customer than Robotnik," I said.

"Well, things are about to get interesting," says Mr. Barker.

In the next chapter, Sonic has another rematch with Knuckles. Also, the mysterious figure is Rouge the Bat and technically, in this, Sonic and the others don't meet her until a chapter in Sonic the Hedgehog.
