Chapter 34: Mech Suits Me:

Sonic's POV:

Stix, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and me were exploring Angel Island.

"Careful," says Knuckles, "Angel Island has many mysteries."

"Like this cave I found," asks Stix.

"Never noticed that before," says Knuckles.

. . .

We were exploring the cave and saw all the glowing purple markings. "Where do you suppose it all came from," asks Tails.

"Illuminati! Lizard people! The league of ventriloquists! Who said that," asks Stix.

"You did, Stix," I said.

"That what they want you to think," says Stix.

"I'd say it's more likely that these are markings from the time of the Ancients," says Amy.

"But what do they mean," asks Knuckles.

"I think they want us to go that way," says Amy.

"Did you deduce that using your vast knowledge of archaeology," asks Tails.

"Nah. There's a huge arrow pointing that way," says Amy.

We then found a big metal hand. Knuckles starts digging. "Gah! An evil robot," says Stix, "sorry, that was redundant. Gah! A robot!"

"That's no robot. That's an old Mech Suit," says Amy, "like the one Charlie found!"

"It looks like me. Gotta hand it to those Ancients. They had swag," I said.

"Maybe I should run some tests first," says Tails.

I then got in it, and it started to glow red. I then started making it walk, but when we got outside, we ran into Robotnik and his robots. "I have created a forcefield that will trap you all in that cave," says Robotnik, "now if you excuse me, I have a Master Emerald to steal!"

"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO," shouts Knuckles.

I then used my mech suit to break through the forcefield. "What," asks Robotnik, "Megabot, destroy him!"

Megabot came at me, but my mech suit creates an energy shield that blocks Megabot's attacks. Then my mech suit sprouted wheels. "I'm starting to like this suit, " I said. I then spun around Megabot, but it pushes me away. I then charged at it and knocked it down. I then fired a laser that destroyed it!

"Even I have to admit that was impressive," says Robotnik.

I then grabbed Robotnik, who had a terrified look on his face, and I was about to punch him, but...

"Sonic, what are you doing," asks Amy, "stop!"

"I don't know what came over me," I said. Robotnik then left.

Amy's POV:

I told Sally what happened. "That sounds disturbing," says Sally.

"And it gets worse," I said, "he's still wearing it!"

. . .

I then showed her, and Sonic started acting like a jerk. He was pushing everyone around. "Amy, I want you to figure out what's going on," says Sally.

"I'm on it," I said.

. . .

The four of us returned to the cave. "Maybe we can excavate some artifacts that'll clue us in to what's going on with Sonic. Of course, I'm the expert here, so don't be too embarrassed if you can't find anything," I said.

"Found gold doubloons," says Knuckles.

"Found dinosaur bones," says Stix.

"Found the schematics for Sonic's Mech Suit," says Tails.

I was annoyed.

. . .

We then talked to Sonic. "It seems the Suit houses a type of Symbiont Technology that slowly takes over its host. That's why you've been acting so aggressive lately," says Tails.

"Wow. I can't believe it," says Sonic.

"The Ancients were highly advanced. You know, for being so... ancient," I said.

"No. I can't believe you guys call yourselves my friends. You're just a bunch of goody-goodies who want to take away my suit! I'm gonna find someone who gets me! Later, twerps," Sonic then leaves.

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

We had a surprise visit from Sonic. "What do we have here," I asked.

"Sir, what is he doing here," asks Snively.

"Relax," I demanded.

Snively, Sleet, and Dingo then get into relaxing positions.

"I'm here to propose a partnership," says Sonic.

"I'm gonna have to think this over," I said. The one thing that has ever stopped me now as my ally? Together, we could be invincible! Nothing will stop us! Especially while he has that suit that gives him more power! "I'm in! Snively, Sleet, Dingo, say hello to our new partner!"

. . .

Sonic and I then started capturing animals to use for my roboticization chamber!

. . .

"Who would ever think we would make a great team," I said, "now, if you excuse me, I have some things to get to." I then walked away.

. . .

"Wasn't Sonic marvelous," asks Snively.

"He's the bee's knees," says Sleet.

"What are you babbling about," I asked.

"Weah just cawmplementin ahh new baest friend," says Dingo.

"You fools," I said, "I'm only using Sonic until I can take his suit! Why should he have all that power? With it, I will be unstoppable!"

"Oy daon't theenk thaht's the griteest idea, bawss," says Dingo.

"And why not," I asked.

"Because sonic's bayn stahndin heah leestenin t' everything yah side," says Dingo.

I then looked. "I-I can explain," I said.

"You're just like all the others. A twerp out for my precious suit," says Sonic.

"Well... you see..." I then jumped in my eggmobile and flew off and Sonic chased after me.

Amy's POV:

We arrived just in time to see Sonic was about to kill Robotnik. "Not so fast, Sonic," I said.

"Lookie what we got here," says Sonic.

"I don't feel right doing this," says Knuckles. Sonic punches Knuckles with his Mech Suit and sends him flying into a shack. "After careful consideration, I am now okay with it."

Stix charges into Sonic with her bo staff, but the Mech Suit's shield blocks the attack. He picks up the bo staff with his Mech Suit with her still holding onto it, twirls it around, and throws her away. I tried to attack Sonic with my hammer, but the shield activates, and it has no effect. Sonic then blasts me with a laser. Knuckles tries punching the shield but gets grabbed by the Mech Suit's hand.

"According to these blueprints, the shield is shielded on all sides..." Tails begins.

"Well, I guess that's that. If you need me, I'll be in my Doomsday Bunker," says Stix.

"...But while the suit's charging its blaster to maximum, it draws reserve power from its shields, momentarily disarming them."

"If we can get you into the cockpit when the shields are down, you can extract the Symbiont Chip and free Sonic," I said.

"I'm never gonna get to use that bunker," says Stix, "hey, Sonic, over here!"

Sonic's Mech Suit lets go of Knuckles.

"I hate mech suits," says Knuckles.

Stix dodges lasers and punches from Sonic's Mech Suit. "Enough of this. Prepare for a full blast," says Sonic. Sonic powers up a full blast at Stix.

"Now," says Stix.

I then used my hammer to get Tails into the mech suit. "Get off of me, you little twerp," says Sonic. Tails gets up and pulls the symbiont chip out of the Mech Suit. Tails jumps out of the mech suit and the mech suit deactivates. "What happened? I couldn't think straight. Nothing made sense."

"The mech suit was controlling you! But you don't have to worry about that anymore," says Tails. He then throws the chip to the ground, and I smashed it with my hammer.

"Just the same. I like it better with my feet on the ground. But I bet the suit will come in handy once in a while," says Sonic. We then all walked away.

In the next chapter, Robotnik creates Coconuts.
