Prologue: He who waits....
"Hyper Metal Sonic!" Eggman shouted with delight as he stared into the motionless eyes of the Sonic Counter Part.
"Now all that is left to do is to copy all the life data into its main circuits and Sonic the Hedgehog is History!" He then chucked evilly at his creation again.
"I need that life Data…Then you’ll rise into your perfect form!" with those last words Metal Sonic’s eyes began to glow an evil dark red…
Chapter One: The Adventure Begins…
(Sonics Head quarters…)
"Boom, Boom!" Sonic had started to sing along to his stereo, which was blasting out his favorite song in the whole of the Earth. It was just a normal day at Sonics HQ on Planet Earth. Sonic had told Tails to make the most of it since Dr. Eggman would probably be coming up with a really diabolical scheme to destroy him and his Two-Tailed Friend soon. Sonic was a bit hazed on what Tails was doing in the Main workshop. "Something about a surf board…" He thought to him self as he slipped on a pair of Sunglasses.
"Hey Sonic! I’ve finished it! Isn’t cool?" Tails yelled as he burst out of the workshop in some swim shorts and goggles. Sonic didn’t answer. He didn’t even turn around to see what Tails was talking about.
"It’s a Jet Propelled Surf Board!" Tails continued not noticing that Sonic wasn’t the least bit interested. Sonic yawned. Loudly.
"Wanna try it?"
"Think I’ll pass lil’ dude…."
"Suit your self!" Tails said as he dropped down into the water with the surfboard.
"I’ll try then!" Tails continued as he started the surfboard and jumped on.
"Tails…Nah! Don’t worry…." He said Tails.
"He’s only a kid," Sonic thought as he turned the music up louder than before.
Things started off bearable for Sonic a few splashes on him. No biggy. Flips. Loops. Waves. That stuff. Thinking back Sonic thought that Tails was pretty good at it.
"Waaahooo!" Tails shouted indicating he was enjoying it. "C’mon Sonic, it’s easy! You didn’t even have to know how to swim!"
"Just be careful not to smash into anythin’!" Sonic said rejecting ago again
In no time at all there was a large ‘Thump’ and with that a loud "Ahhhh!"
"He’s just playin’ around" Sonic thought as he put the stereo up even louder.
"Sonic? Can you hear me?! HELP!"
"Grrr…" Sonic said getting very annoyed. So annoyed in fact he started to spin super fast on his sun bed.
"SONIC?!!!" Tails yelled once more.
"Aw! Shut the hell up Tails!" Sonic said as he spun off of his chair onto the wet grass just outside the lake.
Tails didn’t have time to yell an insult back he was to busy being chased by a plane plioted by a friend of Sonic’s Ojisan the Owl. The only creature on Earth who is as blind as a mole is. The plane luckily misses Tails but then crashed into Sonic’s sun bed, which flew up in the air and fell down into a trail of Smoke.
"Sonic? Are you alright Sonic?" Tails said now really worried that the Sun Bed might off hit Sonic and he might have passed out.
"I’m okay! But what the hell was that?" Sonic said as he returned to the soft wet grass on his feet. The plane did another loop and then landed by the surprised heroes.
"Hello Mr. Sonic!" Ojisan waved at the two of them."How are you?"
"What does Ojisan want here?" Sonic murmured to Tails.
"I dunno but what ever it is I bet it’s trouble." Tails replied.
Suddenly the plane started to take off at it’s own accord and Ojisan started to scream.
"Sonic! Do somethin’!" Tails shouted at Sonic over the loud grunts of Ojisans plane.
"You do somethin’! You can fly remember!?" Sonic retorted.
"Sonic you MORON!!!" Tails yelled at Sonic as he began to take off again.
Sonic stared at Tails for two seconds with disbelieve at what he had just heard. Tails had called him a ‘Moron’. Could it be true? Could the fox be losing his respect for Sonic? He mulled this over for a second and then snapped out of it.
Tails was gaining on Ojisan's burning mess he called a ‘plane’. Tails knew it wouldn’t make it for much longer, that engine had to give in sometime. Ojisan didn’t really notice his plane was on fire. In fact he had a smile on his face as the Two Tailed fox flew up beside him.
"Ah, Hello Tails! Long time no see. I have a message for you two!"
"Ojisan your plane is on Fire! I think the message can wait a minute…."
Ojisan looked back at the burning engine.
"Oh I didn’t see that! Thanks Tails!"
"Hold on I’ll do something!" Tails said as he tried to pull the plane backward to safety. But it just made the plane blow a fuse and Tails went spinning off in the opposite direction. Tails screamed as he was hurtled back across the sky.
"That won’t stop me!" The Fox shouted as he tried to get a hold of the plane again.
The plane began to crash into Sonic’s beach chair. The beach chair went flying up into the sky. Sonic sighed loudly. Tails was now at rip roar speeds, chasing the plane. Tails grabbed the left wing, turning it back into a horizontal position.
"Oh Tails, Well done!"
"I practiced that on my surf board." Tails said proudly.
"That’s an achievement."
"Ojisan, look out!" Tails yelled as he saw the massive cliff ahead of them.
"Wait a sec…Ah that’s b- Ahhhhh!" Ojisan said as he put on his glasses.
"SONICCCC!" Tails screamed, as it seemed all was doomed.
"Oh what now?" Sonic murmured as he spun into the air and then grabbed Ojisan and Tails out of the smoking cockpit. A few second later the plane crashed.
"Thanks Sonic!" Tails said as he picked him self up from the floor.
Ojisan wasn’t as O.K as Tails though, he was still in shock.
"Ahh..Ahhh…Ahh.." Ojisan muttered as he gripped an imaginary plane joystick.
He was REALLY in shock.
"Ojisan! Ojisan….." Sonic said as he picked up a crab and changed its course from the way it was going and set towards Ojisan.
The Crab pinched Ojisan on the foot. Hard.
"Eeeeeeowww!!" Ojisan screamed as he finally pulled him self-together.
"Ojisan, why don’t you stop riding these planes, Man? It’s really annoying that I have to save you all the time…" Sonic said in an almost whiney voice.
Ojisan swiveled ‘round on his feet, faced a blue flower about Sonic’s size and then said:
"Ha! What are you talking about Mr. Sonic? I was once the World Speed planes Champion you know! Ha Ha!"
Sonic held his finger to his head and indicated that he was crazy by swiveling it around in a circle.
"What was that message Ojisan?" Tails said from behind the blind owl.
Ojisan, Realizing his mistake turned around. But still he faced another Blue Flower.
"The President wants you to….um…er…"
"To um er?" Sonic said mocking him.
"No! To come to South Island!"
"Why didn’t you use a phone to tell us that Oji-Sad!?"
"Oh yeah that would have been a good idea…I suppose.." Sonic and Tails began to board their Bi-Plane, The Tornado.
"Ojisan you watch the house ‘K?" Sonic said hurriedly
Ojisan began to wave the other way and then said:
"I will."
"No he won’t" Sonic said to him self. "Come on Tails!" He said to his foxy pal.
The engines began to stir and then there was a massive ‘Whoosh!!’ and they were on there way.
"Have a save journey…" Ojisan said still facing the wrong way.
Yes indeed they were on their way.
