Chapter 62: The Origin of NICOLE (2):
NICOLE's POV - Flashback:
Naugus offered to help the Holo-Lynxes fight back against the Ancients who feared us, but I wasn't sure we can trust him. Naugus tells us about an item of great power, the Power Ring!
Sonic's POV - Present:
Sally and I arrived in Hamarapi. "What are we even looking for," I asked.
"I'm not sure," says Sally.
Grounder's POV:
"Yoo-hoo, Scratch," I said, "where are you?"
"Halt, killer robot!"
"Scratch," I asked.
"I know not this Scratch; I'm Edgar Eagle and I will not allow you to harm Ellie here!"
"I can't believe I'm with the Edgar Eagle," says this turkey girl.
"What," I asked.
Scratch then attacked me.
Snively's POV:
I then found the tomb of Robotnikhotep! I then found something strange on the wall. "That's odd," I said, "it looks like Dr. Robotnik... but why does it say there are two of him? Oh well." I then continued on.
Sonic's POV:
Sally and I found the tomb. "Sonic, this is the tomb of Robotnikhotep," says Sally.
"That is not his name," I said.
"Legend says he was a ruthless man who was defeated by Masonic the Hedgehog," says Sally. I looked at her. "I cannot make any of this up! Let's go!"
"You think Naugus could come here," I asked.
"He could," says NICOLE, "you must hurry!"
Grounder's POV:
"Come on, Scratch, the joke's over," I said.
"I will tear you apart, fowl machine," says Scratch.
I then had an idea... I knocked a tree on him.
"Edgar Eagle," asks the turkey.
"What happened," asks Scratch.
"Are you Scratch or Edgar Eagle," I asked.
"What is with you," asks Scratch, "of course I'm Scratch!"
"What?" The turkey then ran away, crying.
"What's her problem," asks Scratch.
"Let's just go find Snively," I said.
Snively's POV:
I then found the mummified remains of Robotnikhotep. I then saw those strange hieroglyphics again. They speak of two planets and one planet has Dr. Robotnik standing on it... while the other planet also has Dr. Robotnik standing on it. What do they mean?
Sonic's POV:
We then arrived and saw Snively. "Snively, but Dr. Robotnik hates Naugus," says Sally.
"I know," says Snively, "that's why he has nothing to do with this!" Snively then touches this strange stone, and it begins to glow and a portal to the Void opens.
"Naugus," says Sally.
"Well done," says Naugus, but then Naugus and Snively both began to disappear and then reappear in each other's place.
"What is this," asks Snively.
"Oh, did I forget to mention how the spell works," asks Naugus, "you and I must switch places! Now, I am here and you are there!"
"Hey, Naugus," I said, "you ready to dance? I'm wwwwaaaaiiiittttiiiinnnngggg!"
"Then wait no longer," says Naugus.
Naugus and me then fought. I was bouncing around, but Naugus kept blasting at me. He then grabbed me by the neck and threw me.
"Sonic," says Sally.
"I warned you," says NICOLE.
"Wait... that box you have there," says Naugus, "could it be?" Naugus then takes NICOLE from Sally!
"NICOLE," says Sally.
"Yes... you could be just what I need," says Naugus. He then disappears.
"What just happened," I asked.
NICOLE's POV - Flashback:
As it turns out, Naugus needed our power to release the Power Ring, so he turned us all into energy and used us, but I managed to get away, still as nothing but energy, I had to hide within a handheld computer, where I have been ever since...
To Be Continued
In the next chapter, Sonic and Sally have to save NICOLE and take down Naugus.
