Just wanted to clarify real quick: The Death Egg used in this story, is from the second movie. Did I say that already? I forgot.
Anyways here's a Sonic-focused chapter.
Westside Island
Rabbit Household
The bathroom door sways open. Some steam ends up leaving that room, and a soaked Sonic wraps a towel around his quills. Much to his own surprise, Sonic's ok getting wet. He looks his own skin over, even at the mirror. Yep, he's fine.
He removes the towel and oh dear, he's got an Afro. Sonic laughs at his own hairstyle. "And you still pull it off." He uses his quick hands to bring them back to normal.
Turns out, having sprinkles of water hit him, was more bearable than falling into a pool, or even worse, a ocean like he did before. He's lucky he didn't fall further along, or else he'd have sunk like a stone.
Sonic speeds past the kitchen, almost knocking Vanilla's teapot over, but he catches it at the last second! "Oops." He sets that back on, turning around…
Vanilla has paused her cooking to take in what she just saw. "Oh..you aren't a normal hedgehog."
All Sonic can offer is a nervous smile. "You aren't gonna kill me, are ya?"
That snaps Vanilla from her trance. She can't take the absurdity. "Of course not! I would have loved a warning beforehand." Her focus goes down to Sonic's bandages arms. "You should slow down. You can't afford any more harm.."
"Eh." Sonic takes a seat. "
The two hear footsteps coming down. That little rabbit in the dress comes on down, with her twp Chao! The second they spot Sonic, Chocula flies over and tackles him off his seat!
"Chao! Chao! Chao!"
Sonic has to force the grateful Chao off him. He can't help but smile at the reunion. "Glad to see you too, pal!" Before he can even breathe, Cream gives him a tight hug! "It's good to see you again, mister Sonic!" The hugs too tight.
"Now, Cream.."
Ream sees Sonic wiggling free, and lets him go. "I'm sorry, mother!" Her focus gets back to her chao's savior. "Did I hurt you?"
Sonic coughs. "Nope. Been hugged tighter."
Cream hops in her seat, while Cheese and Chocula grab paper towels with their little hands. Vanillas got the cover out, spreading it across the table with one tossup. When the little breeze hits Sonic, the urge to run through before it touches down, rises. He almost does..
But grabs the counter to stop himself. Maybe when he finds an actual cover he can really test himself. Instead, he just sets his chair back up, and takes a seat. Cream's got so much eagerness in her eyes. In her eyes, this hedgehogs a literal superhero!
"Where did you go?" She asks.
"We went to the desert. Met a few pricks, even fought a killer robot." Cream gasps at the details. "You wanna know what made it worse?"
"What?"
"He robot was literally me."
Cream gasps twice. "No way.."
"Yes way."
"Are you sure it wasn't another..you? But inside a robot?" Cream asks, confused about the situation.
"The man who made it REALLY wants to hurt me." Sonic explains, putting a frown on the rabbits face. Sonic quickly tries pivoting. "BUT i came out fine."
Cream points to his bandages. "Is that..fine?"
"Just a scratch." Sonic assures. "Stung for a bit, but I'm fine."
Cream raises a brow. "Are you sure mister Sonic?"
"I'm sure."
Vanilla places mats in front of each kid, getting some new information too. "Didn't you have a friend, Sonic?"
"You mean Tails?" The hedgehog scratches the back of his quills. "He's on vacation. Off in a couple days."
That makes Vanilla skeptical. "Is everything alright? You seem nervous."
Sonic stretches his legs beneath the table. "Yep…" he looks at the empty seat next to him. "Just wish he was here."
While Sonic gets acquainted with the rabbits, the bushes are gettin violated outside. A group of brown weasels peek out. A floating yellow bike, with a black tire and blue end. Fang's onboard, with his hat, and gun attached to his hip.
"Time I put my Marvelous Queen to use." Fang says, patting his own vehicle on the front. He swings his head towards the bush. "Ya know what to do."
His colleagues nod, as Fang stares at the front. He pulls his gun out and hides it behind his back…
Back inside…
As everyone clears out from that delicious meal, Sonic pats his tummy. "Those eggs were something else."
That puts a smile on Vanilla's face. "You should try my salad next time."
Vanilla heads to the living area, while Sonic stops at the stairs, and pulls out that Miles Electric. That dots really close now, he just needs to get higher and he'll be able to fetch this one. Along the way, maybe he could think of a solid plan too. Still doesn't have much.
The source of his ping is to his left. As he passes by, he can see Cream and her Chao doodling in their room. He can't quite make out what art they're working on, but it gets a small smile on him. Unlike one kid he's worrying about, this one's not stressing about life right now. She and her Chao must be the happiest people on Westside.
She's so oblivious to the stakes actually rising outside her little world. Her paradise won't last forever if a madman with an arsenal gets his way.
"I should get me one of those." Sonic says, advancing to the last room down the hall. He opens that door..and his jaw drops at the quality.
White drapes cover the bed, only letting a slim entrance inside. There's not a good view of her bed, but it seems to be a violet-like color. There's a variety of posters on her wall. One has a Chao with a saber, labeled "Chao in Space: The Prequel." There's much more, but Sonic forces his eyes back on the Electric.
It's here.
"Man..this is gonna suck." He says, moving to the source inside. There's a cloth covering it. He removes it, and there. It. Is. White, and bright. There's a little note next to it, and Sonic, ever so curious about why it's here, decides to read it.
"To Vanilla,
I found this weird rock in the woods. Espio wanted us to keep it safe, but I said "screw it!" I'm the lead detective, I've been around the block more than a few times. You'll love it!
A smiley face follows.
"If you don't want it, maybe Cream can have it? She loves collecting rocks don't she? Oh, and by the way: we got our agency up and running. A bee won't stop bothering us though. I might just give him a job—"
Sonic skims through that part, only to find a number near the bottom.
"949-788-0455"
Feel free to hit us up!
Signed,
Vector the Crocodile
"Looks like she's got a loverboy on her hands." Sonic notes, setting the letter down. He grabs the emerald for himself. "Gotta do what I gotta do."
With everyone else upstairs, Vanilla decides to drop on the couch. It's been a long day for the hardworking mother, and she's earned a rest.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
The exhausted rabbit uses the arms (of the couch) to force herself up. "Coming.."
She twists the doorknob. She's greeted by that weasel, with his tooth sticking out. "Hello madam, i'm from the Westside Sheriff Department. We got a call about some weird sounds coming from this area. Mind if I step in? It'd really help the community."
Vanilla tilts her head. "We've been on our best behavior. Are you sure it wasn't our neighbor?"
"THIS area."
Vanilla's able to make out his vehicle from where she's standing. That's definitely not what an officers car looks like. "Excuse me..but you're department never puts in enough funding. How do you have a motorbike?"
"Paid outta pocket." Fang explains, trying to get a peep in..but Vanilla gets right in his way. "I would like to see a warrant."
Sonic tiptoes downstairs with that emerald in hand, and Electric tucked under his shoulder. Unfortunately, Fangs able to sniff out his scent. "You hiding a hedgehog in here?" He uses force to shove Vanilla to the side, but SHE uses force to shove him out!
"Good officers don't use force!"
"I'm no fed." Fang pulls out a pistol and aims it right at her head! When he fires, a blue blur removes her from the action. The bullet impales a wall. No dice for Fang the Point-Blank. "I'm gonna clobber that there Hedgehog!"
He immediately leaves the house. Vanilla gets her senses together, spotting Sonic with that emerald. "Sonic?"
"Gotta get all these. I'll make it up to you later!"
Vanilla doesn't lash out at all. "You saved my life. That's already enough."
Sonic flashes his smirk, and leaves her to protect her daughter. Sonic casually walks out and gets a good whiff of their porch. The second he sees Fang retreat to his Queen…"Oh! It smells like bitch out here!"
Fang just points to him, and a few brown weasels run out with knives in hand. One leads the way, looking to cut his jugular, but Sonic grabs the arm and drives a sharp elbow to his nose. He hurls him at his squad, but they move.
Those weasels close in at the same time, so Sonic effortlessly backflips over them! He hits a dropkick clocking both weasels in the back of their heads. While one nurses his wounds, the other goes for a jumping start.
Sonic curls up and knocks him midair! That hedgehog blasts him left, right, front, and back with his homing attack! He finishes by karate kicking him to the grass! All that, while holding a Chaos Emerald, and the ever-so reliable Miles Electric.
"Is that the best you've got?"
He gets mowed down by the Marvelous Queen! The emerald slips out from the force, and Fang snatches it up! "Caught ya monologuin'!" That weasel laughs to himself, driving his motorbike away..all while Sonic's wrapped around the bottom. The Miles Electric is the only thing keeping his hands together, above.
As Sonic maneuvers himself up, Fangs fixated on the treasure, glancing at every little speck. "You'd make me a killin', lass."
That hedgehogs behind him, checking his imaginary watch. After a few minutes of Fang's obliviousness, Sonic smashes his face face into the wheel! He rips the emerald from Fangs hand, and kicks him off his own vehicle! The weasel goes tumbling into the green terrain, looking up to see Sonic surfing with his property!
"Get offa there!"
Sonic takes in the wind as the motorbike takes a straight shot. A trees coming up FAST, so he just hops off! The Marvelous Queen is a marvel no longer, folded like a wrinkly shirt. Sonic gets a good view of the wreckage.
"Yikes."
He takes off, leaving a crawling Fang to mald at this destruction.
"I HATE YOU HEDGEHOG!"
Back at the Rabbit household, the family (Chao too) sit on the porch, watching the brown weasels crawl away in terror. Thanks to Sonic, their intruders have been fed off. Yet Creams not happy.
Her ears droop low. "Mister Vector won't be happy about this…"
Vanilla rubs her daughters back. "It'll be fine, sweetie. Vectors not as mean as he looks, I promise."
With a gust of the wind, Sonic's back. Their eyes light up. "Mister Sonic!"
"I'd love to hang around, but I gotta run. I'll be back before Christmas, ok?" He explains, holding a thumbs up. "Perfect."
He's already gone before Cream can speak. She just pats Cheese. "This is a lot isn't it?"
"Chao.."
If time was on Sonic's side, he'd gladly stay the night. These rabbits don't want his head on a platter..but who knows how patient that Doctor will be. He could ruin lives if the hedgehog isn't fast enough. Sonic grits his teeth just thinking about his position.
"I'm no sucker, egghead. You're brain's got nothing on me.."
However, the urgency's kicked back in. This is so Tails can see a good life. This is so the Rabbits can see a good future. None of them did anything "wrong", but whatever the doctor has planned, disregards them completely. They love peace.
That's impossible with Robotnik ruling the world in his vision.
Sonic HAS to find a way to knock him off his high horse. Even for his own sake..
