Chapter 56: Sonic Breakout:

Sonic's POV:

Tails and I are catching up with a delivery truck. It has Tails' favorite comic books. The truck then stopped. "The new issue of the Crack-Ups animated talking comic book, please," I said.

They then handed us the comic. "I've been waiting a whole month for this," says Tails.

"Me too. The only problem with Crack-Ups is that it doesn't get here fast enough," I said.

"Maybe that's because you guys are living on a floating island," says the Truck Driver.

"Fair," Tails and me both said.

Robotnik's POV:

"Grounder, look! I've got this month's Crack-Ups," says Scratch.

"Boys! This could well be the culmination of my unbelievably evil and brilliant career," I said, "I have succeeded in building the most inescapable prison ever. [view of a large prison] Equipped with a foolproof security system, every detail is so perfect, I decided to give it a stupid name, just for the irony. Robotnik's Rot-Your-Life-Away Dungeons!"

"Hey, push the talk-and-move button, hurry," says Grounder.

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall... But the people of Mobius just stood round and giggled, while that rotten egg just laid there and wiggled!"

Scratch and Grounder were laughing, and I was curious. I decided to take a look.

"Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

"So, someone thought to make me a laughingstock," I asked, "who?"

"That would be Sketch Lampoon," says Snively.

"Snively... how do you know that," I asked.

"UUUUUUUUUmmmmmmmmm... well... I might have... read... some of the comics... myself?"

"Snively, you will be punished," I said, "but first, Scratch, Grounder, bring me Sketch Lampoon!"

Scratch's POV:

Grounder and I arrived at Crack-Ups Head Quarters. "As I always say, if it cracks me up, it oughta be in Crack-Ups," says Lampoon.

"Sketch Lampoon," I asked.

"That's my name! Don't wear it out!"

"In the name of Dr. Robotnik, you're under arrest," says Grounder.

And he kept making jokes as we were carrying him away.

Sonic's POV:

"I love this comic book," I said.

"Hey, Sonic, look! There's a free poster of you in this issue," says Tails.

"Hey, aren't I taller than that," I asked.

Then Charmy showed up. "Sonic, Tails," says Charmy, "Robotnik has Sketch Lampoon!"

"What," I asked, "Robotnik has the guy who draws this comic book? If he thinks he can lock people up just for making fun of him, he's got another think comin'. Come on Tails, we're gonna break him out!" I then grabbed Tails and we took off.

. . .

We arrived at Robotnik's new prison. "Hey Sonic, is it just me or does it seem like you and me have been doing more than the others lately?"

"Oh, the other Freedom Fighters have been doing their part, we just haven't been there," I said, "let's go!" We then started moving. "With my supersonic speed, I'll have Mr. Lampoon out of his cell before that hunk o'junk computer can even tell Robotnik that I've gotten in," I said.

"Oh, you're the best, Sonic, how are you gonna get in," asks Tails.

"I'm gonna let'em catch me," I said.

"Huhh," asks Tails.

. . .

"Hey Robotnik," I said.

"S.S.S.S.S Squad, arrest him," says Robotnik.

Scratch and Grounder then came after me, but I wasn't going to make it easy for them. I was taking them on. After I had some fun, it was time to show off my acting. "Oohhh I give up, you guys wore me out! I can't take another step," I said.

"I did it," says Grounder.

"No, I did it," says Scratch.

"I tired him out," says Grounder.

Scratch picks me up. "But I grabbed him!"

"So," asks Grounder. They were then both dragging me back to Robotnik.

. . .

"First I open my magnificent escape proof prison, then I fill it with my most hated enemy," says Robotnik.

"And I tired him out," says Grounder.

"And I grabbed him," says Scratch.

"Aagh, about time you came round. The lining of my cell needs changing!"

"Hey, it's Sketch Lampoon," I said.

"Sonic the Hedgehog," asks Sketch.

I ran to his cell. "I'm gonna get you outta here," I said.

"Great," says Sketch, "hey, how'd you like that sonic poster?"

"Aren't I... a little taller," I asked.

"Everyone's a critic," says Sketch.

"Get a move on! Visiting time is over," says Robotnik.

They then took me to my cell.

. . .

"Welcome to your final resting spot, Hedgehog," says Robotnik, "it's an all-nuclear-forged steel building, and an all-nuclear-forged steel cell! So, you know that clever little buzz-saw thing you do that I hate so much? Well, it won't work here! You can't saw this steel! Now, if you do somehow get lucky and manage to escape this cell, my fuel-injected turbo-charged swerving spear shooter, and my triple-action beryllium-powered lickety-split laser launcher are programmed and ready to fire on anything that's blue! Hedgehog blue, that is."

"The coolest color on the planet, Robumnik," I said.

"And to make sure there's not one speck of your blue hide left," says Robotnik, "my extra-large super-nasty spike ball will obliterate you!"

"Aw, you shouldn't have gone to all this trouble for little old me... Humpty," I said.

"Get in there! You've interfered with my plans for the last time! Guards, to your post," says Robotnik. The guards are Scratch and Grounder. "Now that Sonic's out of the way, I have an island to attack and an emerald to take!" Robotnik then leaves.

"Oh, well. Supersonic intelligence is gonna have to get me out of here," I said.

"Hey, it's my turn to hold it, hen-head," says Grounder.

"But you always turn the pages too slow," says Scratch.

"And you always turn them too fast," says Grounder.

"And you spit oil when you laugh, gross face," says Scratch.

"Oh, this is rich! This is a riot! This is the best Crack-Ups ever," I said, "the one that came out today is nothing compared to this new one!"

"What new Crack-Ups," asks Scratch and Grounder.

"Oh, Sketch just gave me an advanced copy of next month's issue just before you captured him," I said, "wanna see?"

Scratch is about to open the door, but Grounder stops him.

"Wait a minute! We can't do that," says Grounder.

"Why not," asks Scratch.

"Because, uh, uh... I forget," says Grounder, "Sonic, why can't we open the door?"

"Because I'm a prisoner and I might run away," I said.

"Oh yeah," says Scratch and Grounder.

"Because he's a prisoner and he might run away, dope," says Grounder.

"But I can't run away, cause' my legs are in chains," I said.

"But he can't run away, cause' his legs are in chains, stupid," says Scratch.

"Not to mention, the spears and lasers," I said.

"Those, too," says Scratch.

"So, I'll just put the comic on the floor, sit back here, you guys open the door and pick it up," I said.

"Yeah," says Scratch.

"That'll work," says Grounder.

While Scratch and Grounder are distracted by the comic, I pulled out the poser. "Well, I may be taller than this, but I think they got my hedgehog blue color just right," I said. I then put the poster on Grounder's back. "I don't think the spears and lasers are gonna notice any difference!"

"Hey, this is as funny as the last one," says Grounder.

"Hey! This is the last one," says Scratch.

"Hey! What gives, Sonic," asks Grounder.

Scratch looks over at the Sonic poster on Grounder's back and stares in shock at it. "It's a trick," says Scratch. The fuel-injected turbo-charged swerving spear shooter aims at the Sonic poster on Grounder's back. The triple-action beryllium-powered lickety-split laser launcher pokes out from its trap door and aims at the Sonic poster. It and the fuel-injected turbo-charged swerving spear shooter shoot at the poster. Scratch and Grounder scream as they get hit by the spears and lasers, which emit a cloud of grey smoke. When the smoke clears, the extra-large super-nasty spike ball swings towards Scratch and Grounder, who scream when they see it. They scream again as it hits them and destroys my cell.

I then walked over to the two. "Time for the keys, please," I said. I then took the keys.

. . .

"Tails, I got out of my cell," I said, "time for you to hack into Robotnik's computers!"

"On it," says Tails.

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

Just as I was about to leave for Angel Island, the alarm went off! "The hedgehog," I said.

Sonic's POV:

Thanks to Tails' hacking, all the doors were opening. Then Scratch and Grounder came. "Those guys never learn, do they," I asked.

Scratch and Grounder chased after me, but I got them zapped and continued running.

Dr. Robotnik's POV:

"I hate that hedgehog!"

Sonic's POV:

I then found Sketch. "Boy, am I glad to see you," says Sketch, "now, let's go so I can make Humpty Dumpty 2." I then took Sketch and we left. "And I'm gonna make Robotnik look really stupid!"

"Actually, Mr. Lampoon, I don't think you could make Robotnik look any stupider than he already is," I said. We then left.

In the next chapter, Sonic and Tails have to save Freedom Fighter, MacHopper.
