story. No, on with the chapter!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
Sonic slowly opened his eyes. He was back in his hut in Knothole.
“Huh, guess it was just a dream.” he said as he stood up and stretched. He
slowly walked to his door. He noticed that his eyes were burning. He opened
his door and was greeted by a cloud of smoke. He looked outside through his
watering eyes.
Knothole was on fire.
Every building, demolished. The ground was stripped of it’s grass and
trees. And the castle itself, a dark crater.
“No... this can’t be happening!” sonic shouted. Translucent blue ghost
floated out of the ground looking right at him. Their lips didn’t move. But
they spoke to Sonic never the less. “Why weren’t you here to save us”
“Augh!” Sonic screamed as he jolted awake. He had just had a half gallon of
water dumped on his face. He tried to get up, but something pushed him back
down on what he was laying on.
“Keep him there Aaron, I almost got it!” someone said. They peeled Sonic
eyelids open. Sonic felt a drop of liquid go into his eyes, then the feeling
like something had evaporated there. Suddenly he could see again, and his
eyes no longer burned.
“There, isn’t that better?” said the same voice. He was a young echidna, no
older than 13. He wore a black T-shirt and brown shorts. His hair between his
eyes stuck strait up with a king of jell. His quills, which is what they
looked like, had also obviously been gelled into the position of a hedgehogs,
except for the last quill on both sides of his head pointed almost strait
down.
“You were lucky. In another second you would have permanent glasses.” said
a different voice. He was a light blue fox, same age as the echidna. His fur
on the side of his mouth curved upwards, and so did the hair between his
eyes. He wore black pants and a white shirt that had the word HOCKY near the
bottom, encased by two blue stripes.
“What’s going on here? Where am I!” Sonic yelled as he looked around and
found himself in an underground room that was made of plaster.
“He found you in the desert” the Echidna said.
“Yeah, the sand had really cut you up. It was in your eyes, and
everything!” said the fox.
“That’s why your eyes were probably burning. We accidentally put the wrong
droplets in em. It was supposed to dissolve the sand and fix your eyes. But
instead, we used some sort of lighter fluid. We had to wash it out real quick
before the sand turned to glass in your eye. That’s what I meant before.” the
fox explained.
“Why didn’t you just take me to a REAL doctor. They can probably read
labels better than you can.” Sonic said.
“Yeah, well we had to make sure that you weren’t some sort of spy. Trying
to find us or something.” said the Echidna.
“Yeah, that’s why Ray and me, Aaron, decided to bring you here.” said the
Fox whose name was Aaron.
“Couldn’t your president or whatever decide that?” Sonic asked. The mobians
looked at each other.
“Well, yeah, but...” Ray started.
“And what people would be looking for you two?” Sonic asked.
“That I can answer! Were the Downunda freedom fighters!” Ray said.
“Or the sandblast freedom fighters, whichever you want.” said Aaron.
“Uh, you look a little young to be freedom fighter.” Sonic said.
“Hey, don’t question our skills!” Aaron said.
“Yeah, skills.” Ray said striking a pose.
Sonic shook his head. This kids were wasting his time. “Look, freedom
fighters or not, I need to try to find MY freedom fighter group.” Sonic said
as he tried to leave.
“Oh, no you don’t!” Ray said. “You have to put on the blindfold! No one is
allowed to know the entrance to our base but us.” Ray said as he got in
Sonic’s way.
“Look, this really isn’t necessary. I already to-” Sonic dodged Aaron
trying to put the blind fold over him.
“ I said leave me alone!” Sonic said as he was about to take a swing at
Aaron. Suddenly, he was grabbed from behind. Aaron finished tying on the
blindfold and whoever it was let go of him. Whoever it was, he was strong.
“Yeah, this is him alright.” said a different voice. “You can take the
blind fold off now.” The cloth was taken of Sonic’s eyes. He turned around
to see who it was. He couldn’t believe it.
“Long time no see, Sonic.” said Tails. Sonic doubled back. He was even
older than the other kids!
“H-how did you get so OLD?” Sonic asked.
“Geez, I don’t look that different do I?” Tails said as he looked at
himself. He looked mostly the same, only more muscular and we wore a blue
wind breaker. “Of course, it’s been years. Where have you been? I haven’t
seen you since Robotnick had attacked and me and my pals, Aaron and Ray,
migrated to the old Downunda.”
“Wait a minute. I’ve only been here 2 days tops. This can’t be the Tails
from my world.” Sonic thought with sadness.
“Well, I was captured and taken to Robotropolis. This guy named Bean
rescued me.” sonic explained.
“Yeah, and he’s a freedom fighter, like us!” Aaron added.
“You! A freedom fighter? Well, that’s something I never expected of you.
Well, at least we’re into the same thing now.” Tails said, noting his
surprise. Sonic wondered how they could have been friends here if they hadn't
been on the same page.
“Yeah, well, I changed ... I guess.” Sonic said, combing his quills down.
“So, what group you in?” asked Tails.
“Uhh, actually, I don’t even know the name.” Sonic admitted.
“I knew it! He’s not a freedom fighter, he’s a spy!” Ray exclaimed.
“Hey! That’s completely bogus! I just entered 1 or 2 days ago. I do know
that it is led by Princess Sally.” said Sonic.
“Whoa! THE princess Sally?” Tails asked.
“Way to go, Sonic” Aaron cheered.
“I still say he’s a spy.” Ray said, with a smirk.
“Oh, lay of, Ray.” Tails said. “Don’t let him bother you Sonic, he’s just
kidding with you.”
“This is great seeing you... again, Tails. But I really need to get going.
Can you take me where I need to go?” Sonic asked
“Sure, just follow me!” Tails said as he led them up the stair case to
another room. Ray could barely be herd half whispering, half singing the word
‘blindfold’.
In the next room was a yellow sand buggy.
“It’s got duel suspension, cooling, the works! I modified it myself.” Tails
beamed. sonic whistled.
“Yeah, well lets get goin’!” Sonic said as he hopped in. Tails got in the
drivers seat next to Sonic and Ray and Aaron got in the back.
“Uh... are they gonna be ok back there?” Sonic asked.
“Just watch this.” Tails said as he flipped a switch. A glass covered the
roof and back of the buggy in a few seconds.
“Keeps you AND the air condition in!” Tails said. “Now, time to leave
through our secret exit!” Sonic was glad they had a secret entrance. He
wasn’t to happy with the idea of going up a flight of stair in this thing.
Tails pressed another button and one of the walls moved away, revealing and
dirt track that led outside the city. The buggy went from 0 to 70 in two
seconds.
“Yahoo!” Ray shouted as they hit the ramp at the end of the tunnel. They
were cruising on their way.
“Which way, Sonic?” Tails asked.
“You need to at least get me to the dead plain. It’s near where Knothole
used to be.” Sonic stated. Tails excelled to 94 MPH and they were off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
“Ok, why isn’t he here.” Sally said to the remaining Freedom fighters. Bean
looked at Antoine and gave him a dirty look.
“Well, my princess, certain othairs seemed to think that we should av been
going vely zoon.” Antoine replied. Giving a side way glance at Bean.
“Who ARE these others.” Sally inquired.
“They are who ze are, Others.” Antoine said.
Sally shook her head. “Ok, then I guess we have our first casualty.” Sally
sighed.
“I thought you said he could take care of himself, Bean.” Sally yelled.
Bean didn’t know what to say.
“I thought he could.” was all he could get out.
“Well, no use in trying to find him. The storm surly killed him.” Sally
sighed.
“Well, maybe if some people hadn’t been zo eager to leave, ve might have
known to look for heem.” Antoine spoke.
“That may be true, but it doesn’t matter anymore.” Sally said.
“Anyhow, who cares z ‘bout that hog. What about My hog? Things got itself
fulla sand.” Mina complained. She could at least show SOME respect for once,
Bean thought. Princess Sally said nothing.
“Ok, return to your quarters, Freedom Fighter.” Sally announced. Bean got
up, discussed with Antoine. Always so stinkin’ stuck up! Whenever he didn’t
want to blame things on himself, it would always be ‘Others’. On time he
dropped Beans name, but made it sound like an accident that he had said so.
He knew Sally must think of him every time he said ‘Others’
Bean quickly brushed past Antoine. Bean couldn’t help but say “This isn’t
over.” as he went past him. Antoine just smirked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
Sonic had been traveling with Tails, Aaron, and Ray for almost an hour, but
still all he could see was sand, sand, sand. He still hadn't gotten up the
nerve to tell Tails he was from a different dimension. But he had been able
to ask why Aaron wore a hockey shirt.
“Hey, if I think it’s cold, it is cold. It’s all in your mind” he had
replied. All Sonic said was uh-huh. Those two, Aaron and Ray, were huge
jokers. He couldn’t even think of them as freedom fighters. But they had
shown them their weapons. Ray had self-made “Claws” that he held.
“Makes me look like Wolverine” he had said.
Aaron had two long and blue daggers, the closest thing he could handle to a
sword. Tails used a long, wooden rod.
“Ok, as much as I’d love to hear more of Aaron and Rays stories about what
they find in there ear, but I’m really starting to wonder why we haven’t
gotten out of the desert yet?” Sonic finally said.
“Hey, we don’t talk about that!” Ray said.
“Who cares about that, look at that thing!” Aaron shouted. Over the next
dune was one of the hover trains.
“We had better check it out, make sure it’s harmless.” Tails said. “Want to
come along Sonic? It probably won’t be TO eventful for you.”
“Of course I’m coming!” Sonic said as he gave thumbs-up. Tails flipped 2
switches. The glass came away and they jumped out. The ran over to the Hover
train. Sonic was careful not to run really fast. Tails had said before that
Sonic wasn’t much of a runner.
“Well, I’ll go in first.” Tails said as he entered. Sonic wasn’t so sure he
should have gone in first. The train, it was too intact. The bots could still
be inside, ready to be activated.
*BOOM*
“Oh, crud!” Tails yelled as he ran out of the train, Swat bots following
him.
“How did I know this was going to happen.” Sonic asked himself. Tails
backtracked to the buggy to get his rod. Ray and Aaron took out their
weapons. Making sure Tails wasn’t looking, Sonic ran a few quick circles
around the bots, throwing them in the air. Aaron dashed forward and jabbed
one of his Blades into on of the ones Sonic missed. Ray went after the ones
that fell. He stabbed two through the chest and deflected a laser blast back
to the Swat-bot it had come from.
Tails soon returned, swinging his rod like a baton around his head. He
dashed into the fray and knocked over two bots in one swing. He smashed it
over another’s head, and did the same to the others he had knocked down. He
charged at another one, swinging his rod at his side. He tripped up the bot
and was quick enough to turn around and hold back another Swat-bot blast. It
knocked him down, but he was back up in a second.
Sonic had to hand it to them, they knew how to fight. But he needed to
concentrate on himself. A late-appearing Guard Swat-bot had come from the
truck shooting both of it’s laser barrels at Sonic. Unfortunately, this one
had extra plating.
“You may be bigger...” Sonic said as he dashed to the back of the bot, “But
I’m faster!” He said as he tried to spin through him. He harmlessly bounced
off of him.
“Yeah, but it’s up to discussion whose smarter.” said Aaron as he came by
Sonic. “Just watch this.” Aaron got underneath the Guard Swat-bot and jabbed
his sword strait up. He quickly hopped away before it fell on top of him. He
jumped onto the Swat-bots shoulders and stabbed his sword into the robots
head.
Unfortunately, his sword wasn’t long enough. With it’s sensors destroyed,
it went into “Mad cow” mode as Ray had once called it. It fired it’s laser
barrels in every direction it could think of, destroying alot of Swat-bots
while almost hitting Ray a couple times.
“Geez!” Ray shouted as he dodged another blast. it had decimated the right
side of the bot in front of him. Ray grinned.
“Geez, do I have to do EVERYTHING for you?” Tails said as he came up to
Aaron and Sonic. “I told you before Aaron, just leave your sword in there as
deep as you can. You can find it in the debris LATER!”
Tails also hopped up on the Guard Swat-bots shoulders, but he was able to
make it Go ALL THE WAY through to it’s shutdown circuits. The Robot shut
itself down. Tails hoped down. They looked at Ray, going against 6 more Swat-
bots by himself.
“I think me and Ray can finish this. You just stay here.” Aaron said before
he ran of to help his friend. Tails just turned to Sonic and Shrugged. They
looked as Aaron quickly stabbed two Bots in the neck at the same time, then
spin a quick circle and expose two Swat-bots open circuits. Ray jammed his
“Claws” into the exposed circuits and the exploded, taking out the other two.
“They make quite a team, don’t they?” Tails asked.
“Yeah.” Sonic simply said. He shuffled his feet. “Tails, before we start
moving again, I think I should tell you something.”
“What?” Tails asked.
“Well, I’m not the Sonic you know. I’m a Sonic from a different dimension.
I was taken by Rotor goons in my dimension and brought here. Bean rescued me
and introduced me to the freedom fighters of this world. I joined them on a
mission, was left behind, and that’s when your friends found me” Sonic said
gesturing to Ray and Aaron who where seeing how badly they could impale the
head of a Swat-bot.
“Why didn't you tell me before?!” Tails said, near tears.
“I didn't want to disappoint you. And besides, I thought you where at
first.” Sonic said miserably.
“Well, I would have been alot less disappointed had you told me in the
first place!” Tails shouted. He stormed of. “If you want to get to where your
going, than head northeast for about 500 miles until you get there. All I’m
saying is that your not riding with us anymore!” Tails said as he left
towards the Fox and Echidna. He saw him say something and then they all
walked to the buggy. They got inside, turned around, and sped up. They nearly
missed Sonic by a foot.
“Stoopid, Stoopid, Stoopid!” Sonic said to himself. He ran of in the
direction Tails had told him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
It was morning. Bean had come out to do his 3:00 area survey.
“Zzzzz” Sonic snored as he lay outside the entrance to the freedom fighter
base.
Bean looked around. He smacked Sonic upside the head.
“Hey, what did you do that for?” Sonic asked. He looked up at Bean.
“To wake you up, stoopid.” Bean said smiling. “Now come on. We’ve got to
let the others know your okay.”
“Thanks, and since I’m a freedom fighter now, can you tell me some of those
access codes? It might help if in out in the rain and can’t get in.” Sonic
said.
“I’ll make sure of it.” Bean said as he opened the entrance. He remembered
Antoine.
This wasn’t over yet.
END CHAPTER 6
Well? how did you like it? A whole 8 page long chapter! It took me almost 2
hours! Although, I understand it takes longer for most people, because they
probably consider 12 pages short. But eight pages is 100 for me. anyways, I
hope you liked it!
