I wish there were some medicine pills just titled, “Laughter.”, that’d be hilarious awesome. It makes sense when you get the message.

Metallix Saga: Chapter 8 – Infiltrating the Metallic Base

For the remainder of the evening, Metanic was in the leisure centre, playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis, for nostalgia reasons, of course. Late that night, Metanic left the area after being one of the last robots in the room, and went to sleep in his chamber. During this point, Tails shut his computer off, yawned and then went to sleep. Just then, Metal Sonic crept round the corner and into Metanic’s chamber. “Hmm…”

Early the next morning, Metal Sonic contacted Eggman. “Hey Eggman, there was some new robot which arrived yesterday. I don’t trust the guy.”

“As you shouldn’t. He’s a robot created by Tails to get in there and learn of your plans.”

“…Well, that’s what I expected, but how did you know that so fast?”

“After having my plans foiled too many times to count, it’s easier to spot those things.”

“Well, now that I’m totally certain, I’ll take care of it personally. It seems we’ll be moving the plan ahead of time.”

“I’ll inform the enemy.” Eggman replied before disconnecting.

At Tails’ house, Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Amy, Blaze, Cream, and Rouge were all around the couch, watching a show as Tails came down the stairs rubbing sleep from his eyes.

“Good morning, everyone.” Tails said before sitting on a chair nearby.

“Morning.” The others replied in unison.

Suddenly, the show being shown on the television was interrupted by an important news broadcast. A male news reporter, who had suave black hair, and wore a grey suit with a black tie was interviewing the five legendary heroes in the middle of a street where a large green eyed alien made of slime had just been beaten up and was left unconscious.

“So, just who are you five, where do you come from, and what are you doing here?” The news reporter asked.

“I’ll take that.” Amber said before grabbing the microphone from him. “We are the five legendary heroes, because we’re quite old, but we’re not saying how old. We come from different places entirely, but meet up on occasions because we’re a team, and we’re here to protect the city from evildoers!” She said before raising her fist in the air.

Crystal took the microphone. “And you know you can count on me because I’m an angel, I’ll always be there when people need me.”

Sonic rolled his eyes at the sight. “Oh, now she wants to be seen…”

As more news reporters arrived, Sonny said, “We’d better be getting out of here.” before the five of them ran off.

Shadow crossed his arms. “More allies, huh?”

Sonic sighed. “This is nuts, we were already doing a good job of protecting the city, we don’t need help. It also lowers my occasional fun time.”

Amy hugged Sonic. “I think having those guys around would be a good idea, besides, now we can spend more time together.”

“I need to negotiate the details with these guys as soon as possible…”

As the doorbell rang, Rouge got up to answer the door but was pushed back onto the couch by Tails who rushed by and quickly answered the door. SA2 stood outside and handed Tails a videotape. “Special delivery from a friend, I’ve been told.”

Tails closed the door, walked up to the television and placed the videotape in the slot underneath and pressed play. As the video played, Eggman appeared on the screen. “Ohohohoho!”

“It’s Eggman!” Tails exclaimed.

“We know.” Everyone replied in unison.

“Well I just wanted to make sure everyone knew, is all.”

“Hello, my unbearable nuisances.” Eggman greeted them. “I’m sure Tails just pointed out the obvious a moment ago.”

“Hey!” Tails responded.

“But that’s enough of mocking a former adversary who is a friend of my main adversary. The purpose of this video is to inform you of Da Hood of Metallix, and their plan which they will be executing this afternoon within a flying fortress.”

Several of them gasped before Eggman continued. “They’ll be travelling across the Mystic Ruins area at 3:00pm today. They’ve already gathered four emeralds for their purposes; do you think you have what it takes to stop them, Sonic? We’ll both find out later today.” The video tape ended seconds later.

After a few seconds, Sonic stood up and said, “Well, I know Eggman is most likely planning something, but we don’t have much of a choice than to put a stop to their plans.”

“I bet they’re the ones who took the Master Emerald too.” Knuckles said as he stood up. “I’ll get them good for that.”

Sonic turned to Shadow and said, “Hey Shadow, I’m gonna need your standard green chaos emerald.”

“Well since it’s for super form purposes, just take them.” Shadow said before handing Sonic the green and grey emeralds.

Sonic and Shadow nodded at each other seconds before he said, “Alright guys, let’s go take down that army of robots!”

“Hold on!” Cream responded. “It’s only 1:50pm.”

“Ahh…” Sonic, Tails and Knuckles replied in unison.

“So what are we gonna do for another hour?” Knuckles asked.

“Chill out, I guess.” Sonic said before hopping back onto the couch.

Tails sat by Blaze and said, “Hey Blaze, remember that story you was making up about Sonic, Knuckles and I as a cliché superhero team? While we’re waiting, could you maybe tell me the rest?”

“I’d be happy to.”

Outside the Casinopolis area on the streets, Eggman wore a cape and a top hat as he had Amy who wore a red dress, tied to a log on a conveyer belt, slowly moving towards a saw as he laughed maniacally. Around a dozen people within the area watched, some gasped while some others didn’t care very much.

Suddenly, the Tornado smashed through a hotel window and stopped near Eggman, and then Sonic, Tails and Knuckles jumped out. “Not so fast, Eggcellent Gentleman!” Sonic exclaimed.

“Curses! Not you! Well, how about you get a load of this!” Eggman said before taking out an umbrella.

“Look out! He’s got an umbrella!” Tails cried.

“I’ll handle this!” Knuckles said before rushing in and quickly whacking it out of his hand.

“Egg fighters, get them!” Eggman said with a click of his fingers.

A dozen of them suddenly appeared and charged at the three of them. Sonic spin attacked one as a “Sweet!” sound effect appeared. Tails kicked one as an “Alright!” appeared. Knuckles punched through one as a “Yeah!” appeared.

“Sonic, help!” Amy cried.

“I’ll be right there!” Sonic said as he ran over, knocking a few more robots out the way and pressed the off switch on the machine just as Tails and Knuckles had finished off the remaining robots.

“You’ll pay for this!” Eggman said as he ran off, while everyone else cheered.

Sonic and Amy then embraced a passionate kiss as everyone watched.

“And that’s all I really had.”

“You were just making that up as you went along, weren’t you?”

“It was made up in the first place.” Blaze replied.

Crystal appeared beside Sonic as he sat on the couch. “Goooood morning, Sonic. How’s it going?”

“I saw your hero antics this morning.”

“Oh, yeah. Well, it’s just what I do.”

“Well couldn’t you do the same here?”

“And ruin our one-to-one conversations? Blasphemy! That’s what makes it good, your friends thinking you’re talking to yourself is just a bonus. At least there are no gay overtones involved.”

“If you’re referring to what I think you are, Tails and I are not gay.”

Everyone had their attention focused on Sonic, then carried on with what they were previous doing. Rouge suddenly said, “Did you guys know with the safety feature turned off, and typing in “Sonic and Tails” on Google, the very first image is rather unpleasant to some fans?” After moments of silence, she said, “You heard it, you can’t unhear it.”

After a rather confusing look at Rouge, Tails turned to Sonic and said, “Hey Sonic, the wings are slightly bent after a crash landing sometime yesterday, so we’re gonna have to share a seat when we get going.”

“No gay overtones?” Crystal asked with a smile.

“Oh whatever.” Sonic replied.

“While you guys do that, I’m gonna go hunt down more gems.” Rouge said before getting up and walking out the door.

Shadow got up and said, “I’ll be back later to get my chaos emerald.” before rushing out the door.

“I’ll be visiting my mother in the meantime.” Cream said before her and Cheese flew through a hole in the roof.

“Has that hole always been there?” Crystal asked as she looked up.

“I have no idea.” Sonic replied.

“I’ll be continuing my boxercise sessions at the gym and wait for you guys to get back.” Amy said before grabbing some red boxing gloves and running out the door.

Blaze took a deep breath before saying, “If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a garden to water.” She then grabbed a water pot, a shovel, and a green cap and jumped out the window.

Knuckles scratched his forehead. “Gardening?”

“Apparently.” Tails responded.

“A pyrokinetic cat who water’s gardens?”

“Let’s try not to think about it.”

Soon afterwards, the three of them hopped in the Tornado and took off towards the Mystic Ruins area where a large standard ship with the shape of Metal Sonic’s head in the centre flew across the section. The design was grey with stripes of blue going across. Tails began firing at some of the turrets on the side as they approached the ship, while they fired back.

After they were taken care of, the Tornado moved a bit higher and began to take out some bigger turrets atop the ship while taking a hit with minimal damage as they got closer. From the back of the ship suddenly came dozens of small white planes which began firing at the Tornado, with Tails dodging too much to get some shots in.

Crystal dropped down onto the Tornado and said, “I got this.” She jumped into the air, charged up a ball of purple energy in both hands and then fired a wide psychokinetic beam which vaporized all the ships in a bright flash of light while Tails and Knuckles wondered where it came from.

“You really are overpowered.” Sonic said quietly.

“Just doing my job.” She said, saluting him.

Tails fired a laser beam at the back of the ship and entered through the hole while Crystal followed them in. The areas inside the ship were brightly lit and there were two paths just ahead of where they landed. Sonic hopped out and said, “You guys just do what you need to do.”

“What are you going to do?” Tails asked.

“I’m going to have some fun with a few old enemies.” Sonic replied before speeding off. Crystal looked around for a second, and then flew after him. As Tails turned around, Knuckles had already taken off in the other direction, causing Tails to sigh before trying to catch up with him.

In a nightclub where the corridors were lit by green lights, the music began playing as Shadow sat in a dark room watching a movie. Shadow switched off the widescreen television and walked out of the room and down the corridor as he started singing. “I’m bringing emoback, you other emo’s don’t know how to angst, It’s a special trait that you just seem to lack.” As he passed one guy, two girls joined Shadow as he said, “I’ll take your fangirls, I won’t give them back.”

Omega, who sat in a chair reading a newspaper further away, lowered it and said, “Take it to the crib!”

As they walked down, Shadow said, “Crazy babes...”

“Uh-huh.” They nodded.

“You think these gold bracelets are just a phase...”

“Uh-huh.”

“They’re more for style than for what it pays...”

“Uh-huh.”

“If you saw my portraits you would be amazed...”

As they entered a bigger area, Shadow yelled, “Take it to the chorus!”

Sonic who sat by a bar with shades on said, “Go head, girl!”

“Go work on it!” Shadow replied.

“Look round the back.”

“Go work on it!”

“Trace it out!”

“Go work on it!”

“Colour it in!”

“Go work on it!”

“Upload to the computer!”

“Go work on it!”

“Edit the picture!”

“Go work on it!”

“Upload your work!”

“Go work on it!”

“Print a pile!” Sonic said before finishing his drink. “And...Advertise your stuff!” They repeated for a short while until Shadow and the girls left.

“I’m bringing emoback.” Shadow said as they walked down another hallway. “Those other haters don’t know how to angst, you need emotion and to look badass, without those two it really gets old fast.”

“Take it to the writers!” a robot yelled.

“Crazy babes...”

“Uh-huh.” They nodded.

“These rocket shoes are really tailor made...”

“Uh-huh.”

“Some think I’m the greatest hedgehog ever made...”

“Uh-huh.”

“I feel quite thirsty for some Gatorade...” As they entered a lift with Knuckles, Shadow said, “Take it to the chorus!” which they repeated before reaching the fifth floor.

As Shadow and the two girls exited the elevator and began walking down, Shadow said, “I’m bringing emoback; my coolness sometimes gives girls heart attacks.” As they passed another guy and his girlfriend, he said, “If that’s your girl you’d better watch your back, she’ll be my fangirl in five minutes flat.” They then walked on as Shadow said; “Take it to the chorus!” before walking past Tails playing an accordion.

After they repeated the chorus, they were joined by Sonic, Knuckles, and two dozen Eggman robots that did the robot with them as they travelled down the hallway.

Shadow woke up seconds later in the middle of a field, covered in cold water. Standing over him was Rouge with an empty bucket. “You ate the shrimp, didn’t you?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Food poisoning.” Rouge replied.

“Umm, how?”

Rouge shrugged. “Who knows?”

“I never want to eat shrimp again...”
