Chapter 24: Sonic Racer:
Sonic's POV:
Sally, Bunnie, and me were sneaking through Robotropolis.
"It's cool ladies, come on, I'll show you the pipes. Check it out, Sal," I said.
"Definitely carrying electricity," says Sally.
"No prob, I'll handle the butt-bots," I said.
"See you inside, Sonic," says Sally.
"Good luck," I said. I then started making monkeybots out of those guard bots.
Sally's POV:
"Ugh, locked. Bunnie, if you please," I asked.
"Be mah pleasure darlin'," says Bunnie as she breaks the door open, "after ya."
Sonic's POV:
"Hey Bot-heads! It's Saturday night, you guys need a serious bath," I said.
Sally's POV:
"Ugh, that's it; the alarm system is shut down. Do it Bunnie," I said. Bunnie does so and we see the computer. "Whoa! That is some computer!"
"It darn tootin'. What now Sally-girl?"
"I'm gonna overload this sucker," I said.
"Whoa! somethin' darn tootin' happenin'," says Bunnie.
"That's it, come on," I said.
Sonic's POV:
"Get a grip, guys. Moto-rama time," I said.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"Er, Dr. Robotnik," says Snively.
"What is it Snively? I'm busy…try it now, Cluck. Now, Snively," I asked.
"He's gone, sir," says Snively.
"Who is gone," I asked.
"The hedgehog, sir," says Snively.
"The hedgehog? Where," I asked.
"Near the Badlands, sir. He was with the Princess and Bunnie Rabbot," says Snively.
"Order code red alert," I said.
"Yes sir. Mmmm, there's another problem sir, the main generator," says Snively.
"That hedgehog! Ugh! Nooo! Agh," I said.
Sonic's POV:
Sally, Bunnie, and I celebrated.
"Past cool, we did it! That outta slow old metal-head down for a while," I said.
"Heck, without electricity, he's nothin' but history," says Bunnie.
"Yo, Sal, how about showing a little enthusiasm here. What's up," I asked.
"Oh, we need to shut down his backup generator too," says Sally.
"Maybe there isn't a backup. EEEEEEEEEhhhhhhhhh, wrong," I said as Robotroplis' power was coming back on.
"Oh, I knew it, I knew it," says Sally.
"Don't worry, Sal. We'll get him next time," I said.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"Those freedom fighters are beginning to concern me, Snively. We must think of a way to eliminate the hedgehog," I said.
"I know a way sir," says Snively.
"I'm waiting, Snively," I said.
"We appeal to the hedgehog's inflated ego, sir," says Snively.
"His ego," I asked.
"Yes sir, with a speed contest," says Snively.
"Mmmm, I like it Snively. The hedgehog won't be able to resist the temptation! I'll have him right in the palm of my hand," I said.
Sonic's POV:
"Speed contest - to determine the fastest on Mobius, trophy to the winner, tomorrow at fourteen-hundred hours. Come one, come all. Man, whose Robutt-nik kidding? Haha, he already knows who's the fastest," I said.
"It's you, Sonic," says Tails.
"You got it, Kid," I said.
"Sonic, it's just another one of Robotnik's traps," says Sally.
"Yeah, he must think I'm really stupid. I'll win that race no prob," I said.
"Uh-huh. You're kidding, right," asks Sally.
"I'm kidding wrong! I can beat anything Robutt-nik has," says Sonic.
"What about the backup generator mission," asks Sally.
"It's cool! I'll be a diversion, and cover you guys," I said.
"Huh, I just, I don't think it's a good idea Sonic. Robotnik can really hurt you," says Sally.
"Hey, I'm still here, aren't I? No prob. I got the juice," I said.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"It's ready, sir," says Snively.
"Start it now," I said.
"Go," says Snively. We then saw our new robotic cheetah run.
"Oooh, yes," I said.
"Five-hundred miles per hour, sir," says Snively.
"Oh, that's good. That's very good indeed. Particularly since it was only going half-speed. Surprise, surprise, hedgehog," I said.
Sally's POV:
"This is too weird. No swat-bots," says Bunnie.
"Um, where ahre ze swaht-bahts," asks Antoine.
"At the race," I said.
"Uh, zen I like ziss too very much," says Antoine.
"Duck," said.
"Duck? Where?" Antoine gets scared.
"Y'all can come out now, Antoine," says Bunnie.
"Ze duck ees gahne," asks Antoine.
Sonic's POV:
I then saw the bots. "This is my competition? Couple slow-mo hover-heads? Man, then I'm wasting my time," I said. Then this robot cheetah came. "What is this? That's a little better, but still no contest. I mean, come on, doesn't Robutt-nik know who he's up against here?"
"May the best machine win," says Robotnik.
"There are no rules in this race, except to stay on the marked course. On your marks... Go," says Snively.
The race started and the robot cheetah proved to be a jerk. Then an obstacle almost took me out, but I managed to avoid it.
Sally's POV:
"Ahll ziss peace ahnd quiet mahkes me sweateeng," says Antoine.
"Everythin' makes ya sweating, Antoine. But you're still a little muffin," says Bunnie.
"That's it! NICOLE, download city schematic," I said.
"Accessing, Sally," says NICOOLE.
"He-yah it is, Sally-girl," says Bunnie.
"NICOLE, sector ten, quadrant three, block six, building 2-A, interior only," I said.
"Accessing," says NICOLE.
"That's the backup generator alright. Now how do we get past those guards without Sonic," I asked.
Sonic's POV:
I then survived another obstacle. "They actually think that's gonna stop me? No brainers. Huh! Hasta la vista, hover-heads," I said.
Sally's POV:
"Aha, this skylight here is our way in," I said.
"Ya meanin' we gotta git up own that little old roof, right," asks Bunnie.
"No, we cahnnaht," says Antoine.
"Why ya gotta be so negative? What are ya afraid of this time?"
"Knuckles!"
We looked and saw Knuckles was here! He charged at us, and Bunnie tried to block his fist with her own... but it turns out, Knuckles was stronger than Bunnie's robot fist. "That worked better en mah head," says Bunnie.
"Pathetic," says Knuckles.
"We have to run," I said.
"Maybe eef we beg fahr our lives..." says Antoine.
"Aah reckon that would just tick him off," says Bunnie.
"Mmm? No, I ahm naht even weareeng my wahtch," says Antoine.
We then ran and Knuckles chased after us.
Sonic's POV:
The race was still going on, but then the robot cheetah grabbed me. "Ahh! Lemme go bolt-bones! This is cheatin'! Ugh," I said.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"Oh, the toxic pit is a nice touch, Snively. A very nice touch," I said.
"I'm rather proud of it sir," says Snively.
Sonic's POV:
I managed to escape with my speed and ran off.
Sally's POV:
We then made it to the roof. "Keep an eye out for Knuckles," I said.
"How ees your ahrm," asks Antoine.
"Well, it's a good thin' aah didn't fist bump knuckles with mah regular arm, just what kind of gym does he go to," asks Bunnie.
"We'll have Rotor take a look at that," I said, let's go."
Sonic's POV:
"Didn't really think you could beat the hedgehog, did ya, Speedy," I asked. The robot cheetah then gets in my way and gets ready to fight. "Oh boy." I ended up fighting this thing. It started throwing me around. "Time to finish this!" I then did a spin dash, but it blocked me. Robuttnik must've designed it to counter my spin dash! I needed a new plan! I then ran and it chased after me.
. . .
I was running and the robot cheetah was still chasing me. I then saw Knuckles. I had an idea. "Hey, where do you buy your gloves," I asked, "the same place where clowns get their shoes?" Knuckles then leaped at me, but I got out of the way, and he destroyed the robot but got an electric shock that knocked him out. I then crossed the finish line and ran off.
Sally's POV:
"There it is. I have to get inside that control center to shut this generator down," I said.
"Doesn't look easy, sally-girl. About the only way up they-yur from he-yah is own that pulley- belt," says Sally.
"I laugh een ze feet of dahngair, my preencess," says Antoine. He then got an electric shock and fell to the ground.
Sonic's POV:
I then arrived. "What happened," I asked.
"Antoine got the shock of his life," says Bunnie.
Antoine opens his eyes briefly. "Oh, a beauteeful ahngel." Antoine then goes back to being unconscious.
"Who was he talkin' about, Sally," asks Bunnie.
"Actually... I think he was looking at you, Bunnie," says Sally.
"Now, they-yur's a scary thought," says Bunnie.
"Let's go," I said, "time to juice and jam!"
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"Section four, hedgehog report," says Snively.
"Negative," says the computer.
"Snively, tell me, what of the hedgehog," I asked.
"Well sir, he seems to have, eh, disappeared," says Snively.
"What did you say," I asked.
"Ehhm, disappeared sir," says Snively.
"How could he have just disappeared? You little mutant, didn't you... What is this? Ohh," I said.
"Ohh," says Snively.
"I dreamt I boxed a cheetah," says Knuckles.
Sonic's POV:
"And despite the fact that it would have been perfect if Sonic had won Robotnik's trophy, in the greater sense, we have taken a giant step to free Mobius from Robotnik," says Sally.
"Yeah! All right Sonic," says the Freedom Fighters.
"To a free Mobius," I said.
"To a free Mobius," says the Freedom Fighters.
In the next chapter, Robotnik finds Knothole.
