Chapter 46: Dulcy:
Dulcy's POV:
Sonic was meeting with his Uncle Chuck. Then my wings started flapping on their own and were lifting me in the air. "HEY!" I then got a hold of myself and fell on the ground. "OOF! Whew, I better cut out the chocolate."
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
An alarm went off and I woke up. "I'm sorry to wake you, sir, but we have a hedgehog alert! Sub section 3-Dash-Bravo," says Snively.
"Very well, Snively. Activate all Mega Muck unites," I said.
Sonic's POV:
The mega muck robots were coming after me! I then spun around. "Look like it's bowling for Swat-bots time," I said. The huge forces suck them all in and throws them aside. "STRIKE!" A new set of robots show up. "Ahhh, so many hover heads, and so little time. OUTTA HERE!" I ran, but the robots fire mega muck and I get stuck. "Oh MAN! Mega Muck…." A ship lands in front of me. "I smell a BIG bald guy." Robotnik steps out, still in his robe and slippers. "A big UGLY bald guy! Yo Robuttnik, cool jammies!"
"I do hope you like the accommodations, dear boy," says Robotnik, "it was the best I could do on such short notice. I hope you understand."
"Lousy view," I said.
"From here, it is splendid. Heheh- WHAT'S THIS!?"
Dulcy dives in, takes a deep breath, and fires her ice beams from her nostrils, freezing Robotnik and the robots. I then grabbed on to her feet and we took off. "Way past, Dulce," I said.
"He needed to chill, heheheheh," says Dulcy.
. . .
We were coming in for a landing and Bunnie was guiding us. "This is gonna be the perfect landing, Dulcy! I can feel it," I said.
"Great, how come I can't," asks Dulcy.
We then crashed.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"Snively, if there is one dragon… there could be more. A possibility I'm not particularly fond of," I said.
"Crystal mind data link online sir," says Snively.
"Activate mind probe," I said.
"Activating probe, Sir. What exactly are we looking for, Sir," asks Snively.
"What we ALWAYS look for, Snively… heheheh… WEAKNESS," I said.
Uncle Chuck's POV:
I was secretly listening in. "I don't like the sound of this…."
Sonic's POV:
"And there I am, stuck in the ol' Mega Muck! Then, Dulce' comes JAMMIN' IN and freeze drives Sneevly, and Robobuttnik with one very coooool blast," I said.
"Great work, Dulcy," says Sally.
"All right, Sugah-dragon! Nice job," says Bunnie.
"Thanks! Now if only I had a new pair of knees, those landings are killing me," says Dulcy.
Suddenly a sun like glow forms around Dulcy's head, and she shoots up into the air and crashing her head through the ceiling.
"Dulce, what's up," I asked.
"Hello, mom…" Dulcy shakes her head rapidly, snapping out of it, and fall straight to the floor.
"What the who-hah happened," asks Bunnie.
"Dulcy, are you alright," asks Sally.
"I don't know! I've been having these really weird spells where I can't control my wings," I said.
"Maybe y'all just need a nap, it's bin' a long day," says Bunnie.
Dulcy yawns. "Yeah, I am kind of pooped…" Dulcy heads out, raps her tail to the branch of a tree and goes into a snorey sleep, but just then, her wings freak out again and shoot her up in the air.
. . .
Dulcy was missing. "Where'd Dulcy go," I asked.
"I don't like this, Sonic," says Sally. We then heard Dulcy scream. "There she is!" Dulcy continues to ascend though the air against her will, zipping all over the place.
"Mondo weird, even for Dulce'," I said.
"Sonic, we have to follow her," I said.
"You got it, Sal," I said. I then grabbed her. "OUTTA HERE!"
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
We're watching the dragon.
"I'm coming home, Ma."
"Very good. Sir, we located the dragon above the Great Plain," says Snively.
"Transmit coordinates! Vector all patrols to the area! Bring the dragon in," I said.
Sonic's POV:
Sally and I are on Dulcy's tail. "DULCY," Sally calls.
Some hover units were also tailing Dulcy. Then Longclaw came. "Longclaw," I said, "can you tell us what's going on?"
The crafts begin to lasso Dulcy's arms and legs up, but she's still in a trance.
"She doesn't even know they have her," says Sally.
"Get ready to rocket, Sal," I said.
I then ran up a tree, allowing us to land on a craft. I got out a laser and zapped the rope while Sally jumped on Dulcy. "DULCY! IT'S SALLY! WAKE UP!" It is not working. She then climbs up to the side of her head, for a better shot. "THEY'RE TAKING YOU TO ROBOTROPOLIS! DULCY!"
"Huh," asks Dulcy.
I then used the rope to swing through the sky, but then a bot zapped me and then I fell. "Definitely not cool," I said, "WOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"Hello," says Dulcy.
"Dulcy, get Sonic! He's falling! HURRY," says Sally.
Dulcy then saves me. "Nice catch, Dulce," I said.
"No problem," says Dulcy.
"Here they come," says Sally.
We then had to get back to Angel Island.
. . .
"Then I had this really strange dream, where my mom was telling me, 'Come to Dragon's Nest. Come to Dragon's Nest'," says Dulcy.
"So, this time you were talking to your mom," asks Knuckles.
"What's Dragon's Nest," I asked.
"It's were all the lady dragons go," says Dulcy.
"NICOLE, access dragon behavior. Emphasis on migration," says Sally.
"Searching, Sally. One area found. Onset of migrational pattern behavior during adolescence," says NICOLE.
"Onset of WHAT during WHO," I asked.
"Display, NICOLE," says Sally.
NICOLE projects an image of a dragon.
"During adolescence, dragons enter a trance like state which draws them to their nesting ground. Although only adult dragons lay eggs, adolescents have survival patterning which draws them to dragons nest and..."
"Still not following," I said.
"Dulcy has dreams that tell her to go to Dragon's Nest, their nesting place," says Sally.
"Got it," I said.
"May I continue," asks NICOLE.
"Please," says Sally.
"Dragon's Nest is located in Deep Canyon which is the…"
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"… nesting area where adult females lay their eggs," says Snively.
"Oooh, Dragon's Nest! Of course, that's where the dragon was headed. The very cradle of their civilization. I think it's time for the cradle to FALL," I said.
Uncle Chuck's POV:
I was still listening in.
"Ready my command ship, Snively. It's Dragon hunting season," says Robotnik.
I then called out to the messenger bird.
Sonic's POV:
Dulcy's sleeping. "NICOLE, can you monitor dream sleep frequencies," asks Sally.
"Generating frequency sensitive hologram," says NICOLE.
NICOLE pulls up a hologram of Dulcy's dreams and we see a baby Dulcy hovering over a grassy field.
"Well, isn't she just cuter than a chipmunk's cheeks," asks Bunnie.
"I hope you mean the face," says Knuckles.
"Aww… look at that," I said.
"Oh, my baby. My bab- OH! Now more right wing, Dulcy," says Dulcy's Mom, Sabina. A friend of Longclaw's.
"O-okay mom," says Dulcy.
"Good girl! Good girl! Now, ease up a little," says Sabina.
Dulcy starts laughing, but then flops to the ground.
"Oh! That was wonderful," says Sabina.
. . .
"Good Dulcy! Very, VERY GOOD," says Sabina.
"I don't like it, mom! All my friends laugh at me when I do this," says Dulcy. Dulcy then spouts smoke from her ears.
"Oh Dulcy, don't mind them. Just remember that you are special," says Sabina.
. . .
We saw a swarm of dragons entering Dragon's Nest, and then Dulcy wakes up, crashing to the floor. "Oh boy! It's time," says Dulcy. Dulcy heads out of the hut, and Sonic follows.
"WOAH! DULCE! Wait a second," I said.
"Out of the way, Sonic! I gotta go," says Dulcy.
"Hey, we all gotta go sometime! Just CHILL a minute," I said.
"Okay, WHAT," asks Dulcy.
"Dulcy! We know what's happening to you," says Sally.
"Then you understand why I've got to go," says Dulcy.
Dulcy leaps through the roof, and into the night sky, just as the messenger bird passes. Sally finds the message. "Robotnik's heading for Dragon's Nest," says Sally.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
"Sure, you wouldn't rather send Sleet, Dingo, or Coconuts," asks Snively.
"This is too important," I said, "I can't risk any failures! Let's go!"
Sonic's POV:
Sally and I were looking for Dulcy. "No sign of her," says Sally.
"I had no CLUE she could crank like that! Better slap me some power, Sal," I said.
Then Longclaw came. "I will take you to her," says Longclaw.
. . .
We then found Dulcy with an egg. "What am I supposed to do, fry it," asks Dulcy. The egg hops in the air and slams her on the foot. "OW! I was just kidding, okay! Don't have a cow. I got it!"
"Yo, Dulce'! Who's is that," I asked.
"How do I know? I don't even know how I got here," says Dulcy.
"It can't be yours Dulcy, you're too young," says Sally.
"I know who it belongs to," says Longclaw, "and I can see her! Robotnik has her!"
"But- But when the egg hatches, the baby's gonna need her milk," says Dulcy.
"Well, how long before it hatches," I asked.
"Soon," says Dulcy.
"Sonic, we must go," says Longclaw.
"Woah, you mean..." I began.
"It's time to juice and jam," says Longclaw. She then carried me to Robotnik.
. . .
Just as Robotnik's about to roboticized that dragon, Longclaw and me came in. "Stop them," says Robotnik.
Longclaw and me then took on the bots and we took them down.
"We have come to rescue you," says Longclaw, while she was freeing the dragon. We then all left.
"SONIC," shouts Robotnik.
. . .
Bunnie is being thrown around by the egg. "Woah! Woah! WOAH! WOAH! OH, MAH STARS! WAAAAAH!"
The egg shoots her off and hops out of the hut to its mother.
"It won't be long now," says the dragon. The egg begins to crack, and everyone watches in amazement, and once it's hatched and in her mother's pouch, they keep admiring her. Eventually, the little dragon has smoke erupt from her ears. "She's a protector. The fate of all dragons rest on her, and the other protector, Dulcy. Thank you all! We won't forget you."
"Oh, you're so welcome. But don't you want to rest," asks Sally.
"No, Sally. It's too dangerous here. I know a place where even Robotnik won't find us. Dulcy, your mother would be proud. We'll meet again. You'll know the time." The dragon flies off.
"Good luck," says Dulcy.
"AHEM," says Rotor, "I, uh, I made you a little present, Dulcy."
"For me? Wow, what is it," asks Dulcy.
"Open it," says Rotor. She opens it and pulls out knee pads. "Uh, knee pads. I thought maybe you could use them."
"Thanks Rotor! Purple's my favorite color," says Dulcy.
"Well, it was either that or carpet the meadow," I said. We all laugh.
When Sally and Bunnie disappear, Sonic and NICOLE rush in to rescue them, discovering the Void.
