Final Fight against Frankenstein!--VAMPBOT SAGA Part VIII
Harsh slurping sound is heard inside of the Metal Virus’ castle as it aggressively knaws on packets of blood, labelled “Type A & B” where empty packets are shattered around the floor. The virus grunts like it’s aroused by the taste of blood and smacks down an already empty packet on the ground.
“More, more, I need more…”
The virus twitches and grunts after drinking the last packet as his Igor minion, Renfield runs toward its blood covered body and red eyes, as its body continues to twitch and shake like a lunatic.
“Um…my liege, I think you had enough for today…maybe you said try something else like…”
“DO NOT TELL ME WHEN I HAD ENOUGH!! I STILL NEED MORE TO JUST FINISH OFF MY PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION!”
The virus stands up in front of his Igor minion showing his blood covered canine teeth.
“But sir, I think you are going off the rails with these things…don’t you think it is time for you to ease off the blood feasting for a while…?” Renfield pleaded.
The virus snarls, showcasing his canine teeth as cold air leaves his mouth. From a window, a bat flies inside the castle as it shapeshifts into Szgany the Hellhound as he kneels behind it.
“Szgany…report…”
“Apologize for the neglect, my master…it seems your monster isn’t going as you hoped…”
“WHAT.”
The virus aggressively walks up to the hellhound.
“Turns out the silver hedgehog and the fire-controlling kitten managed to take out the Mummy in one go. Frankenstein is half-injured; lord knows what comes of the Werewolf and the Medusa. It appears…they have…the upper hand…”
The virus’ red eyes glow behind a shadow in front of the Hellhound and it growls.
“Typical of the rodents, at least they are not breaking toys of their so-called Dr. Eggman…no matter…I have my precious children infiltrating their precious lair, and thanks to you, Szgany by spewing out the embarrassment in front of me—”
“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t know they can defeated! You made them from the DNA of the previous victim of your epidemic!!” Szgany pleaded to the vampiric overlord.
“And I made them to better than that…unlike you and your pack of flying rats…”
“I am your lieutenant, master! I obey your very command! You must believe me! If they figure out Harker and Westerna are spies! Your cover will be blown!”
“Like it is already when you fought the silver boy and that purple feline…”
Szgany gasps.
“O-oh I’m sorry, sorry! I did it just to taunt them! I didn’t know can they figure out your so soon! I thought maybe you would—”
The virus clasps on Szgany’s head as the Hellhound grunts in pain as he struggle to get the hand out of his head as the virus lifts him up as he continues to grunt and groan.
“You did a good job…but your decision to embarrass me in your mission…you, are relieved your duty as a lieutenant…”
Szgany continues to grunt and groan as the virus’ hand gruesomely crushes the Hellhound’s hand as blood splatters everywhere to the ground as the blood dissolves into ash as the body starts to disintegrate. The virus furiously eats the dissolving body as blood and ash flies everywhere as the Hellhound body disappears.
The virus grunts in pain, veins appear around his body, it’s muscles pulse and distort. It yells as it’s red eyes roll back as it’s body continue to distort gruesome then the virus begins to be aroused by the transformation as it’s body is more muscular and buffed up.
The virus looks back toward his Igor minion, Renfield as the igor looks in awe.
“Oh, my goodness, master! You look…attractive…”
The muscle virus looks down at the Igor, blankly and at its muscles and body.
“Hmm…this is just the first…”
“What do you mean?” The Igor said…
“In order to complete my whole body, I need to find the source to find the powerful blood source to finally unlock my true form…”
“And where would that be, master?”
“To where that blue rodent is…”
“And how exactly are we going to do that..?” The Igor said.
“You think Harker and Westerna were the only ones inside their headquarters?”
“Uh…no…”
The virus gives a smirk…
Back at the Frankenstein battle…
“Silver..?! You look like a mummy…” Sonic said.
“Not now, Sonic…we had a hard day as it is…especially when Shadow decided to be an idiot to fight off against a hunk of living meat!” Silver scowled at the red and shadow hedgehog as Shadow scoffs.
“Wait, you’re taking this out on me? The blame you should be directing to is that nose bleeding hedgehog over there. I was doing the dirty work not him!” Shadow yelled at the time-traveler.
“Or for god’s sake—LOOK at your wrist! It’s like a chicken leg right now!”
“Please, I broke bones in the past and I learn how to deal with them…” Shadow sneered at the so-called “partner.”
“Uh, guys…let’s cut with the drama queen fighting because big, green, and ugly is totally pissed off right now!!” Sonic pointed at the monster.
Frankenstein walks up to the hedgehogs with boiling skin, tissues singed, with his right side nearly burned off with an angrily look.
Amy, Tails, Tangle and Whisper, Lanolin run toward the maimed beast, battle-ready. Shadow examines the creature’s injuries and flashbacks to the time when he fought the monster as his skin regenerated.
“His skin is not healing itself…” Shadow said,
“What?” All of them said.
“Whaddya mean, “it can’t heal?”” Vector said as he runs to them with Charmy
“After Blaze set that monstrosity a blaze—”
Sonic snickers.
“Blaze—”
“SHUT IT!” the red and black hedgehog snapped at his fun-loving counterpart.
“Anyway, when I fought this beast it had a complex regeneration system but after Blaze set that beast on fire. It must’ve costed its ability to regenerate.” Shadow explained,
“Ok, so! We beat the living daylights out of this thing until it’s over, right?”
“No…” Shadow sneered at the blue hedgehog.
“We fight on every ounce we got…no matter how battered and swollen we get…we must take this monster down…” Shadow said in determination.
“Hold a sec, Shadow! Look around you! Silver and Blaze are bandaged up! Sonic’s nose is still bleeding—”
“Uh, I think it stopped by now…” Sonic looking at his nostrils.
“Half of us—are all beaten up! You can’t tell me with a straight face we’re going to handle this in this state!” Tails pleaded to the no sense, edgy hedgehog.
“You have other plans?” Shadow told the eight-year-old, two-tailed fox.
“Just lemme exploit the weakness! I can track—”
Shadow takes Tails’ Miles Electric from him.
“HEY!”
“Look here, I do not care how many punches we took. This thing is still standing, and it will possibly hurt others! So, I say we pull our punches on this damn beast where you like it or not!”
“But Shadow!—”
“Shadow has a point, Tails…”
Tails looks at Amy, battered holding her Piko Piko Hammer.
“We have to take this monster down. If we don’t, it might go after our loved ones next…” Amy said blankly.
“Yeah! Don’t you worry about us, Tails! I got tons of black-eyes and nose bleeds in my missions; sure I almost died! But I least pulled my punches!” Tangle said optimistically.
“We’ll fight no matter what…” Whisper, whispered holding her Variable Wispon.
Sonic places an arm on Tails’ shoulder.
“Tails, look after Espio with Lucy. Don’t you worry on us fighting this guy. If anything happens to us…tell Restoration HQ…”
Tails looks at Sonic’s hand on his shoulder then at the other members and gives worrisome look.
“Okay…okay, you guys handle it…”
“Hey, you’re still apart of this team, Tails…and no matter what it will stop me from being your friend…okay?”
“Okay…” Tails agreed to his hedgehog friend.
“Alright…let’s go…”
Frankenstein sneers at the Restoration HQ members. Sonic and the others runs toward the monster as they unleash a battle cry.
As they start fighting off Frankenstein, Lucy walks up to Tails with the dropped tarot cards from Amy.
“Hey, Tails! What the heck are these?”
“Oh, these things? Those are Amy’s tarot cards!”
“Tar-ot cards?” Lucy curiously said.
“Yeah! You see, Amy uses these cards to predict the future based on their illustration. Some were good, some were bad and some were out of nowhere…” Tails explained to the vixen.
“So, these things…what do these cards say?” Lucy introduced five different cards toward the eight-year-old intelligential fox.
The cards feature a knight with a sword in front of slayed dragon, two women holding hands with two swords, a small man standing up against a giant, a goblet on fire, a warrior holding a staff in victory.
“Um…I don’t know, Amy is the one who tells me the prediction. I do not know yet…”
“Maybe I’ll keep these…” Lucy said
“For what?” Tails questioned the vixen.
“For…re…research…” Lucy picks up more tarot cards as Tails gets concerned on the new recruit.
Back at the Frankenstein battle. Sonic and Shadow Spin Dash across the wounded monster, jump on its back and speed across the monster.
“Shadow, make this into a race! We have to take this thing down!” Sonic yelled at his counterpart.
“ I AM fighting this thing! You’re just getting my way!” Shadow spouted back.
Shadow skates away front of him.
“Dammit, Shadow you son of a—” Sonic angrily grunted.
Shadow kicks the back on the monster’s head and jumps off and unleashed a Light Speed Attack on his attack as the monster stumbles down. Shadow grunts as Frankenstein throws a punch at the red and black hedgehog. Shadow slightly dodges the fist, however the shockwave from the swing pounds on Shadow’s ribcage. Where Shadow coughs a minimal of blood from his mouth and lands next to Sonic.
“How are you being a jackass, Shadow?”
“Shut up, I don’t run like coward…”
Shadow kneels down in pain holding his chest.
“You know, you complain about me going through stuff without thinking. Yet, you, YOU do stuff like THIS!” Sonic yelled.
“It’s because I’m getting the job done! That bastard doesn’t know what strength means for the Ultimate Lifeform…”
Frankenstein growls at the no-nonsense hedgehog.
“THAT’S WHY HE WILL DIE!!” Shadow shouted.
Shadow Speed Dashes toward the creature, unpockets a Green Chaos Emerald and teleports away before the monster nabs him. Shadow teleports behind him. Grabs his head and Overturns his body as the beast slams on the ground, Shadow leaps up throws Chaos Spears on his body as the monster grunts in pain as every spear stabs every parts of his body.
“Amy, finish it!” Shadow commanded the pink hedgehog.
“GOT IT!!” Amy yelled back.
Amy jumps up with her hammer as her body filled with a fully-pink aurora with hearts surrounding her, as she is about to unleash her Hammer Attack. The monster growls as he is about to break free from his imprisonment as the Spears pop off from his body.
“AMY, WATCH OUT!!” Sonic shouted.
Amy hesitated as Frankenstein finally breaks free from the trap and grabs her head and slams her down and pulls back at fist. Sonic’s face twitches in anger and unleashes a fearsome Speed Dash and jump next to the monster.
“Be sure to aim for the weak point on this thing. Blaze damaged the healing factor at the right time. If can strike at the right moment, he’ll be more weaken than before. I have to use my body to make this perfect strike so he can no longer harm anyone else. GIVE IT WITH ALL YOU GOT!!” Sonic’s voice echoed in his head.
Sonic unleashes a deafening-scream as he unleashes a powerful Homing Strike where he slices off Frankenstein’s punching arm out of his shoulder and lands next to the monster as the arm plops on the ground making the monster dumbfounded.
“It’s DISTRACTED! TAKE IT DOWN!!!” Silver shouted, guiding the order to tear it apart.
Frankenstein roars in anguish with a mix of anger. Whisper runs up with her Wispon in Cube mode, slams the monster’s jaw left and right, almost dislocating it. Tangle kicks, punches and uses her tail to uppercut his face.
“ALLOW ME TO TEACH YOU A LESSON WHEN YOU MESS WITH A DETECTIVE, YOU BASTARD!!” Vector shouted.
Vector tosses a tree toward it as it slams the monster on the ground, kicking him down with his arm catching his fall.
Silver manipulates rocks to make them daggers with his psychokinesis as he throws them as every single sharp object stabs the monster, taking it’s right eye out. Amy unleashes her Spin Hammer Attack as hearts fly everywhere hitting the beast as he loses more skin and muscle and falls on the ground.
“Whoa, he’s even uglier than before…” Sonic joked at the crippled beast.
Frankenstein is almost destroyed now his right is half is now a lump of muscle and skin with drool/blood leaking from his mouth. Frankenstein gurgles and roars as he runs toward the two hedgehogs. Blaze jumps in front of the two and unleashes a pillar of fire as it screams in agony from the flames as his body is burning into a crisp as he runs away in pain. Silver grabs him with his psychokinesis as the monster is turned in a teal aurora bubble and tries break out.
“He’s trying to break free, you better think of something!!” Silver said to the hedgehogs.
“Heh, Shadow would you like to the honors?” Sonic smilled.
“What? Like you will take the credit?” Shadow said back.
“THERE IS NO TIME TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT!!” Silver shouted at the frenemies as the charred-up Frankenstein struggles to break free from the psychokinesis bubble.
Sonic and Shadow nod as Sonic gets down in a running position like a Olympic athlete would. Shadow unleashes a Chaos Spear.
“Sonic, Shadow…KILL IT.” Blaze commanded as Sonic gives a smile to the purple cat.
Shadow leaps across trees and dives straight toward the monster with a battle cry. Sonic unleashes a Parry as everything goes grey and charges head forth toward the chest. Shadow stabs the head and Sonic plunges his fist on the chest as Frankenstein screams in pain from the amount of Chaos Energy mixed with the power from the Starfall Islands as the monster explodes into ash. Destroying Frankenstein forever resulting in a blinding explosion…
The forest from the battle is now completely destroyed…ash falls from the sky, trees are destroyed, some on the ground. What’s left of Frankenstein is his singed hand as it dissolves into ash and disappears on the ground. Vector grunts and lefts up a piece of wood off of him with an injured Charmy Bee.
“Ow…” Charmy said in pain.
“It’s okay, kiddo we’ll—we’ll find the others…” Vector said with his left side covered in blood.
Vector walks across ground zero looking for other Restoration members.
“C-can anyone hear me? HELP! I’m stuck here!”
“TANGLE!”
The crocodile runs toward the area of destroyed wildlife as he sees the lemur with her arm caught on top of a giant log as she struggles to get out.
“TANGLE! There you are!”
“Oh, hey Vector! I got myself stuck in a situation…has anyone seen Whisper?”
“Hang on, kid we’ll get you outta here…”
Vector lifts up the log as Tangle grunts in pain from the pressure of it.
“Thanks, Vector, if it wasn’t I would’ve have my arm lobbed off…” The lemur jokingly said.
“Now, we need to know where the others are!” The crocodile said.
Charmy sees a teal glow in the distance behind a group of destroyed trees.
“Vector, Vector, look over there!”
“Is that?”
Vector and Tangle run over to the scene the glowing scene. The crocodile and lemur remove destroyed wood and trees as they see Silver, fully injured with blood leaving his mouth using his psychokinesis to create bubbles around Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Tails, Whisper, Espio, Lanolin, Blaze, and Lucy.
“Holy Croc-o-rolli! There’s something you don’t see every day!!” Vector looked at the silver hedgehog.
“T-thank you, V-Vector…”
Silver coughs and vomits blood as it splatters on the ground.
“C’mon, we’ll get you to the doctor before you get more hurt with your fancy time-travelling powers…”
Silver’s psychokinesis deactivates as Silver slumps on the ground his blood covered face and breathes heavily as he struggles to breathe.
“Blaze…” Silver wheezed.
“Yes, Silver I am here…” Blaze ran to her silver companion.
“I just want to say, thanks for helping me out…especially you and me fighting off that psychopathic mummy…”
Blaze chuckles in response.
“Not a problem, Silver…no matter what…we’ll always fight against upcoming threats, Silver. No matter the cost…”
“So, are you two going to make out or what?” Sonic said with smirk.
“OH! SONIC!!” Blaze blushed.
“What? You sound like you guys are close! I mean it’s fine if you guys become couple after a long battle, for me. I can handle it fine. Just as long there are no after effects—oh no here we go…”
Sonic foams at the mouth and falls unconsciously as he gurgles from the amount of foam coming out.
“JEEZ SONIC! Tangle and Whisper, you don’t get this too, right?” Silver told the lemur and wolf.
“Us? Pfft…nah! We’re fine, we’re like totally perfect! Yep, totally nor—”
Tangle gurgles foam and gets knocked out and falls on the ground. Whisper silently vomits blood and collapses unconsciously.
“This will totally effect the hospital bill…” Silver said.
“Agreed…” Blaze with an awkward look.

Sinisterly with Six Part II
A Flicky flies across downtown city of Sunset Heights, chirping happily and it lands on bird birth as it dunks it’s head on the water, cleaning itself up as other Flickies arrive, chirping happily until…
BOOM!! As the other Flickies fly away in terror as the streets of Sunset are damaged with cars are on fire, streetlights, crocked as a truck is flown over and explodes.
Zazz is laughing evilly on top of his Moon Mech, shooting projectiles; scaring away civilians.
“YAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I LOVE THE SMELL OF MAYHEM IN THE MORNIN’!! GO ON RUN LITTLE DOGGY!! RUN BOY! YEEHEE!!” Zazz laughing like a lunatic.
Admist of the chaos, the leader; Zavok walks in front of Zazz’s Moon Mech with Zor and Master Zik.
“Soon, this world will bow down to us…no matter the cost…” Zavok said as he clenched a fist.
Zor sighs
“What’s the point?, we’re just going to lose anyway…” Zor, ruining the mood.
“Patience, my dear Zor…Zavok and the others may have some setbacks in the past but this time we’ll succeed for the first time in a century.” Master Zik said in wise-master tone as Zor sighs again.
“That just makes it worse!” Zor complained.
“SILENCE, YOU TWO! There is no time for your theories or your whining! Eggman’s former assistant assigned us to do this mission or else he’ll use that blasted Conch on us!” Zavok yelled at the old man and the melodramatic Zeti.
“Uh…who was he again? He has a long nose…” Zor who forgot who Snively.
Zavok grunts in annoyance.
“Never mind that, come now! Onward for our takeover!—Wait, have any of you two seen Zeena?” Zavok questioned toward the light blue and grey with purple hair Zetis.
In a destroyed clothing store, a terrified bobcat female employee hides a behind a check-out area where a metallic coat hanger spins out of control where clothes are being thrown out.
“No, no, nope, nuh-uh, not my type…” Zeena, using her magnetism to sort out clothes in front of the bobcat.
“UGH! Does this place have something that doesn’t make me look fat!” Zeena yelled at her.
“Um…we have a discount toward your left!” The bobcat said
“I don’t have time for this! Now you wasted my time! I’m never shopping this STUPID place again!” Zeena complained.
“But you destroyed everything when you came here…” The bobcat said.
Zeena glares at her and summons green whips and cuts the check-out era in half as the bobcat jumps back and yelps.
“Now, it’s completely trashed…” Zeena smirks and walks away.
Zeena struts out of the store and into the diminished mall and looks at the morbidly obese orange Zeti, Zomom eating a sub-sandwich where he grossly eats the thing like a pig with mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup covering his face.
“UGH! Zomom DO YOU HAVE to eat with your mouth open?!” Zeena grossed out at her fat companion.
“HEY! I was hungry! The long-nose guy didn’t allow me to have lunch!” Zomom yelled in offense.
“YOU’RE always hungry and it’s grossing me out!” Zeena yelled at the orange slob with horns.
“Besides, we have mission to do—”
Zeena sniffs in disgust.
“Oopsie..” Zomom said
“UGH! God, you’re disgusting!! I’m out of here!”
Zeena grunts and walks away in anger.
“Can you bring me back dessert?” Zomom said
Back at the chaos outside, Zavok pounds a piece of debris with his red-glowing fists and laughing evilly. Zor and Master Zik use their telekinesis to throw metallic objects to bombard Restoration fighters as the items crash on the ground.
“HAHA! No one can face the Deadly Six! No one!” Zavok boasted until he looks up and sees silhouettes of Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Silver, and Tangle appear behind a wall on top of a building.
“Oh, of course, of course he shows up here…” Zavok narrowed his eyes at the onward fighters.
A blue blur jumps down and lands on top of a destroyed car.
“Hey Zavok! Am I ruining the moment for you and your group of circus clowns?” Sonic boasted at the red Zeti.
“Sonic the Hedgehog, we finally meet again…” Zavok said with pride in his voice.
“Actually, no, we met a few months ago, months after that, than came you guys with the Metal Virus, and one with teaming Mega Man’s rival, and the situation with you guys breaking out, then there was that one time—”
“ALRIGHT! I GET IT!!!” Zavok shouted at the hedgehog.
“We may have butted heads before and you defeated me once and twice this year alone but this time—”
“You know you guys say “but this time” always end up in a humiliating defeat…honestly, Zavok you got to pick something else—”
“SILENCE!! You want to spout nonsense at me???” Zavok said angrily clenched his fists
“FINE THEN! ZOR, MASTER ZIK! GRID THE BOY INTO BLUE DUST!”
Zor sighs
“Do I have to?”
“Now, now there’s no need of complaining, young one, time is necessary!” Master Zik
Zor grunts
“Fine…but please make more sense…”
“It did make sense!” Zik said in offsense
As the red, grey/purple, and light blue Zetis prepare to attack, a painful sound where it sounds like somebody blowing a conch shell hurts their heads as they grunt in pain.
“What the? What’s going on here?” Tails examined the area as the Restoration members look a small bald human with three strings of hair and a long nose walking up toward Zavok, Master Zik, and Zor.
“I am sorry did I see you were about to attack the hedgehog WITHOUT asking my permission!!” Snively who tugged Zavok’s horns.
“We were about to! You just—”
Snively blows the Cacophonic Conch again as the three grunt and groan in agony.
“Have you forgotten you assigned you to help me to break out all of those villains out of their prison cells and who was the one who told you about this all-powerful shell to help me to keep you lot at bay in case you were mocking about? That’s right—my uncle!” Snively leaves a sinister smirk at the red Zeti.
“You know what Snively, you were always a bully to me and the others. You may not be Eggman, but you were never a good person…” Amy as she holds her Piko Piko Hammer in anger.
“Spare me the word salad, pink hedgehog! You were a little runt with a tutu and a spoiled brat of getting whatever she wants! I never believed in tarot cards anyway…” Snively insulted Amy’s personality.
Amy narrowed her eyes.
“Besides, if it weren’t for that magical, glowing acorn, you’ll still be a child…” Snively smugly said.
“What is he on about?” Tangle said.
“Different subject, we’re focusing on baldy now…” Sonic jokingly said.
“UGH! For your information, rodent! I comb my hair strings twice a day!” Snively offendedly said.
“How does it feel to be in the backseat for the rest of your life?” Sonic smirked.
Tails chuckles.
“Man, that was brutal…” Silver said.
“BURNED!” Tangle yelled
“DOH! YOU REPUGENT HEDGEHOG! Fine! You want to play fair, then let’s play fair! Deadly Six, go for the kill!”
Zavok, Master Zik, Zor, Zomom, Zeena, and Zazz with his Moon Mech arrive from Snively’s command.
“The next time, this won’t be easy…” Zavok sneered at him.
“Yes, yes whatever they say…DESTROY THE HEDGEHOG!!” Snively yelled and pointed a finger, commandingly
Zavok grunts as he runs towards to fight Restoration.
“You’ll be sorry…”
Restoration HQ and the Deadly Six duke it out. Sonic is dodging projectiles from Zazz’s Moon Mech with his acceleration.
“C’MON, BOY!! WAT’CHA DOIN’ WHY YA RUNNIN’?? HEEHEE!!”
“Do you ever quit, Zazz?”
“NOPE!! I’M GONNA SQUISH YA, BOY! SQUASH YOU LIKE A BUG!!”
Sonic speeds across beneath the Moon Mech and jumps around the projectiles.
“HEY! WHAT YA DOIN’? STAY STILL SO I CAN SLAM YA!”
“Yeah, sure! Hey Zazz! Did anytime tell you how to blink?”
“Uh, say what know?”
“It means blink before you see it!!”
Sonic goes to a Spin Dash and propels on the projectiles and kicks the purple Zeti with his two feet as Zazz falls off on the ground.
“HEY! NO FAIR!! NO FAIR, THAT AIN’T NO FAIR! I DIDN’T SEE ‘EM! I DIDN’T SEE THE BOY! HE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HE JUST—”
Zazz continues his tirade in his crazy Southerner accent, Zeena groans and rolls her eyes.
“Put a sock in it, Zazz! You’re being too stupid to fight the blue rodent because you talked too much!”
“YOU CALLIN’ ME DUMB?”
“And have bad breath…ugh, note to self, take a breath mint…”
Zeena sees Amy running toward her with her Piko Piko Hammer.
“Really? You’re making my job easier…”
Zeena claps her hands together and opens up her hands as she conjures up a green whip and swings it around as it slams on the ground. Amy jumps up and clashes her hammer with Zeena’s chords like Castlevania’s Simon Belmont whipping enemies.
Zeena twirls around and does a pose.
“So, Amy Rose, love interest or your clinging to that blue loser?”
“Keep Sonic’s name off your mouth, Zeena!!”
“Clingy it is!” Zeena with smirk and shrugs.
Zeena whips her green whip on the pink hedgehog, trying to make Amy lose focus and balance. Amy tries to keep focus against the valley-girl, green Zeti.
“Tired yet?”
Amy almost topples as she uses her hammer to keep her balance.
“Aw, you almost fell down, sad…”
“You know, Zeena…I am also fortune teller I could see from my tarot cards about your defeat…” Amy as she breathed heavily.
Zeena snickers.
“What, like a piece of paper tells the future about what’s going to happen? Girl, please! If it were to happen. Why are you so tired out?”
“Because…I already know your fate, Zeena…”
Amy shows a weeping woman surrounded in a destroyed area where it makes Zeena laugh.
“What’s that gonna do?”
“You’ll see…” Amy smirked.
“Huh?”
Zeena hears a rumble underneath her as Knuckles rockets out, unleashing a uppercut to her stomach, launching her. Sonic zig-zags across the area and unleashes a Spin Dash.
“HANDS UP!” Sonic yelled.
Sonic rockets in a Homing Attack as he sidekicks Zeena’s face and rockets down on the ground, creating a crater. Zeena groans in pain and looks at her nails as one is cracked and gasps with a mix of fury and disgust.
“OH MY GOD, YOU RUINED MY NAILS!!! YOU STUPID RODENTS! I WILL KILL YOU!!”
“Wuh oh…” Sonic said.
“I think we ticked her off…” Knuckles replied
Zeena’s magnetism lifts up small metallic items as they grow bigger as she stares down the hedgehog with her mascara leaking her face.
“I’LL SHOW YOU NOT TO MESS WITH MY MANICURE!!” Zeena said in fury.
Meanwhile, Zomom is sloppy eating a submarine sandwich as he sits on the ground, carelessly. Tangle kicks his stomach numerous times.
“C’mon! Can you fight me for once!”
“Nope, eating!” Zomom said and continues to eat the sandwich.
Tangle grunts
“Tails, can you back me up?”
“I tried to, he won’t budge! This is why he’s the pain in the neck of all Deadly Six!”
“Well, do something! He’s starting to gross me out!” Tangle replied to the two-tailed fox.
Zomom farts
“’cuse me…”
Tangle and Tails gag in disgust.
“Well, how can do something that will make him tick?” Tangle said.
“He likes food so, obviously something that offends him related to his hunger.”
“Huh…”
Tangle’s tail swipes the sandwich off Zomom’s hands.
“Huh?” Zomom said in confusion.
“Well, that was easy!”
“Uh, Tangle?” Tails points the lemur towards a looming shadow of a furious Zomom.
“What...?” Tangle as he recognizes the irate obese Zeti.
“Oh boy…”
“You broke my number one rule! NEVER DISRUPT ME WHILE I AM EATING!
Zomom slams the pavement with his two fists blowing the lemur and fox away as he charges toward the two.
I AM GONNA CRUSH YOU!!”
A psychokinesis aurora surrounds the orange Zeti as he floats away making Zomom hangry.
“Huh? Hey, what gives! Hey! If this ride has cotton candy I want it!!” Zomom complained.
“Sorry, you big oof. Looks like you are called for a diet!” Silver said to the orange Zeti.
“COOL! IT THAT YOUR SUPERHERO CATCHPHRASE?! I’ve been practicing mine!!!” Tangle said with stars on her eyes.
“Phew, thanks Silver if it weren’t he would’ve killed us by now…” Tails congratulated the time-travelling hedgehog.
“Thanks, I was busy handling other issues!” Silver pointed at the unseen aftermath between Zor and Master Zik and him. Zor is on the ground with a nosebleed, Zik is knocked out unconscious, metal items and debris are scattered everywhere.
“Ow…” Zor said
“My head hurts, I have a nosebleed, but I don’t care…” Zor moped
“Looks like you handled it well, Silver!” Tails said optimistically
“I know, wait…” Silver stopped mid-sentence as his telepathy kicks in.
“It’s Blaze…”
“Blaze, what is she—” Tails responded as Silver points a hand point to stop him.
“Tails, handle the last of the Six. I need to go and help Blaze, understand?” Silver said sternly.
“But Silver there are two—
Tangle looks at the trapped Zomom.
“I mean three Zeti left and we need enough firepower in this!” Tangle pleaded toward her Diamond Cutter partner/friend.
“I’ll call Whisper and Surge. You and Tails and the others handle the Six…I’m going to find Blaze!”
“But Silver!—”
Silver teleports away leaving Tangle and Tails alone as Zomom slumps on the ground.
“Uh…you guys got something I can eat?” Zomom told the Mobians as Tangle’s tail smacks Zomom’s face and falls down.
“OW!”
Silver teleports to a quiet forest as he runs across the shady forest with the sun reflecting from the wet leaves as the silver hedgehog continues to look for the princess of the Sol Dimension.
“Blaze! I’m here! Where are you?!”
Without Silver looking, a Vampbot Mobian stares him down from a tree branch and growls with drool leaving its mouth and lounges at the time-travelling hedgehog…

Nocturnal Nights--VAMPBOT SAGA Part I
A clock ticks in the background, following a heartbeat in a dark abyss as the ticking increases faster as the beating goes fast. Distorted noises are echoed in the distance as all sounds go insanely quick until…
TWO HOURS AGO.
“I just vanted to keep you safe…”
“”Keep me safe?” Well, guess what? I wanted to safe too! But you made it more difficult than it already is! And yet, I’m not anymore…I don’t need to go further in this conversation…”
Silver levitates away with his psychokinesis leaving Von Schlemmer leaves a distraught look.
Silver floats across the hallway, furiously as Blaze sees him with a concern look on her face.
“Silver, are you alright?” the princess said
“NO, no I am not alright!” The silver hedgehog replied sourly.
“What seems to be the problem?” Blaze said to her other dimension “companion”
“Oh, I dunno my so-called friend/scientist brought back the—the—flipping METAL VIRUS!!” Silver spazzed in rage.
“The Metal Virus? You told me about that; it was quite a terrifying experience…” Blaze curiously said.
“No, Blaze it was a hellhole. The future was lifeless and covered in metal. Everyone was getting infected one-by-one. It took us a whole month to deal with it. Friends, families, loved ones were lost to that thing…the final moments were me and Sonic throwing that parasite to the sun—WHICH I REALIZE THAT WE THROWN IT TOWARD THE FUTURE. GOT SMART AND GOT A BODY!”
Silver slams a wall, making a dent.
“Silver, Silver calm down! Try to be specific…what happened afterwards…” Blaze places a hand on his shoulder.
Silver sighs.
“Turns out everything we planned didn’t really work out. Professor Von Schlemmer kept the remaining virus in a jar and tried his best to make it’s still dead. Despite his high IQ—
Silver scoffs
“I bet it dropped when doing that experiment—anyway, we’re getting off topic here. Used chemicals on it and then—get this, it woke up with full-fledged human body and you’re not going to believe this, unlike the Zombots. The virus evolved into something that craves on blood…”
“Like what?” Blaze who tilted her cat head.
“Vampires…”
Blazes stares blankly.
“V-vampires?”
“You know, haters of garlic, burn at sunlight, scared of the cross, killed with stakes, all that…” Silver spoon-feed the princess of the Sol-Dimension.
“That seems pretty odd…”
“Well, don’t ask me! Von Schlemmer brought back that virus and know has abilities to drink people’s blood! Like your average vampire would do!” Silver spouted back
“Yet, Von told me they are more than just vampires we know…they seem to copy and scrape your blood to create cheap knockoff versions of ourselves…Sonic and the others experience…whatever these things are. I’m pretty some of them are still out there…” Silver who looked at the mid-day sun from the glass window.
“So, basically a metallic virus somehow evolved into a vampiric entity and somehow roaming around, around here…”
“I’m quite sure…we stopped it once and we will stop it again…Luckily, there’s only one Topaz left from Starline…the downside, the Emeralds are shattered everywhere and it’s going impossible to find them!” Silver said with dread in this voice.
“After my experiences travelling through time, I experienced Enerjack, Iblis, the Time Eater, Ixis, Infinite, the Zombots, and now VAMPIRES!!!” Silver slumped down behind a wall.
“Silver, I was once in your shoes, me and Marine dealt with an opposite version of Eggman and robot pirates…” Blaze awkwardly grinned.
“Please, like robot pirates will face vampire-looking freakazoids. At least their made of metal compared to these bloodsuckers!” Silver spat back.
“Well, we still don’t know what or who these things are, but we can handle them more than you and Sonic handled um…Zombots…minus the vampirism and the intolerance towards garlic…” Blaze grinned.
“Let’s hope…for right now, the Deadly Six are attacking downtown and I have to be there. Blaze, how about you scout the area for something unnatural…”
“Okay, if I encounter one of these “vampires”—
“You won’t, they are not like the Zombots, just given a scarier touch on them. If this goes to another epidemic until the Metal Virus did—now, with one Topaz left and the Emeralds shattered around. I fear we are not as prepared as we were before…” Silver said with a minimal bit of fear in his voice
“Don’t be so worked up about it…if we encounter these things than we’ll be ready. Now, come on you got a city to defend…” Blaze encouragingly said to her time-travelling companion.
Silver smiles.
“Right…I got a city to defend…”
Silver teleports away leaving Blaze with a concerned look.
In a park, Blaze the Cat walks across the sun-filled area of it and walks by a bridge by the pond.
“Mommy, look! A superhero!” A little girl pointed at the Sol-Dimension
“That’s great, sweetie! We don’t have to bother her! Sorry about that she gets curious around Restoration members” The mother said.
“There’s no need! Take care!” Blaze waved back and continued her walk.
Blaze stops by the river and looks up at the gorgeous sun reminding herself her times at the Sol-Dimension, sailing with Marine the Raccoon and getting into trouble with robotic pirates or dealing with Marine’s antics. Blaze enjoys the moment until she sees a flying creature flapping its wings.
“Huh?”
Blaze looks at the creature flying toward a forest as it gets to the dark part of the forest as it’s shades show it’s brown fur and wings, a bat.
“A bat?” Blaze questioned the nocturnal creature and gets concern and follows it toward the forest as the creature disappears into the darkness…
Blazes walks through the haunting-theme of the forest, crickets chirp in the distance, birds squawk in the distance, owls hoot in the darkness. Fireflies fly around the bushes making the theme more nocturnal.
Blaze looks around the forest, without looking glowing eyes appear behind the oak trees. Blaze continues to look around as the cricket chirp louder and birds hoot in the distance with fireflies continue to glow the area.
““Don’t be so worked up about it…if we encounter these things than we’ll be ready.”” Blaze’s voice echoed as she gets determined on what might pop out from the dark.
A twig snap is heard making Blaze turn around and gets ready to fight and looks at the dark abyss of the forest. Blaze breathes heavily as sweat leaves her face. A minimal bits of fire pop up on her fingers
Blaze’s breathing distorts and her heart begins to beat as Blaze has a determined/terrified look on her face. The sounds stop except for her breathing, behind her a silhouette of a Mobian with red eyes breathes next to her neck and snarls showing sharp teeth with drool leaving its mouth.
Blaze slowly turns her head toward the Vampbot with the look of fear. The Vampbot growls and jumped toward her.
Back with the aftermath of Silver beating Zomom in Sunset Heights with Tails and Tangle, Silver’s telepathy is activated on his head.
“I know, wait…” Silver stopped mid-sentence as his telepathy kicks in.
“It’s Blaze…”
“Blaze, what is she—” Tails responded as Silver points a hand point to stop him.
“Tails, handle the last of the Six. I need to go and help Blaze, understand?” Silver said sternly.
“But Silver there are two—
Tangle looks at the trapped Zomom.
“I mean three Zeti left and we need enough firepower in this!” Tangle pleaded toward her Diamond Cutter partner/friend.
“I’ll call Whisper and Surge. You and Tails and the others handle the Six…I’m going to find Blaze!”
“But Silver!—”
Silver teleports away leaving Tangle and Tails alone as Zomom slumps on the ground.
“Uh…you guys got something I can eat?” Zomom told the Mobians as Tangle’s tail smacks Zomom’s face and falls down.
“OW!”
Silver teleports to a quiet forest as he runs across the shady forest with the sun reflecting from the wet leaves as the silver hedgehog continues to look for the princess of the Sol Dimension.
“Blaze! I’m here! Where are you?!”
Without Silver looking, a Vampbot Mobian stares him down from a tree branch and growls with drool leaving its mouth and lounges at the time-travelling hedgehog.
The Vampbot snarls showing its sharp teeth ready to eat the hedgehog alive and drink his blood. Silver quickly uses his psychokinesis and throws the creature on the ground as it backflips as other Vampbots appear from the shadows.
“Oh man, guess I was right…”
Vampbots charge toward the silver hedgehog. Silver uses his psychokinesis to throw, punch, kick every vampire Mobian to find Blaze. A bat flies behind him and transforms into a Vampbot and clocks the hedgehog on the bottom jaw and knocks down on the ground and gets back up.
Two werewolves run across Silver from left to right in high speeds and grab the hedgehog and put him down. From the dark a dog-like Mobian Vampire walks up and laughs at Silver.
“Well now, look what we have here…” The dog said in a Romanian accent.
Silver struggles to get out from the werewolves’ grasps.
“So, the rumors were true. The master told us about some time-travelling boy who threw him out, no?” The dog said.
Silver grunts angrily.
“This is the first time we’ve met, no. Well, allow us to introduce ourselves, my name is Szgany the Hellhound, and these are the children of the night…”
“Cut the crap, mongrel…I already know you guys are vampires and I see you brought some werewolves into this too, huh?” Silver eyed the wolves holding him down.
Szgany laughs.
“Please, little boy we are more than just your standard vampires. We walk in the sun, we’re not frightened by stakes, and we’re perfectly fine with garlic! We are very different on you see in your movies and TV shows!”
Silver gives the Hellhound a death glare.
“Where’s Blaze?”
“Who?” Szgany responded.
“Blaze, what the hell did you do to her???”
“Hmm…let’s see the cat girl where one of my man found her into this forest. Hmmm…let’s see, was she carrying THIS?”
Szgany shows a purple Sol Emerald making Silver gasp.
“She has a fine piece of jewelry, no? She might be some princess!”
“YOU BASTARD.”
Silver glows in a teal aurora as the werewolves’ continue to hold him down as the Vampbots laugh sadistically at him.
“Now, now don’t get your quills in a twist, little boy. We played with her once or twice; she was a fighter; the girl is. Unfortunately, she had a flaw of facing us creatures of the night…” Szgany the Hellhound snaps his fingers as more werewolves carry a battered Blaze and plop her down.
“Silver…” Blaze said, very injured.
“YOU SON OF A, ONCE BREAK OUT OF HERE I AM GONNA—” Silver threatened the Hellhound.
“Gonna what? Tell your friends? Oh, that wouldn’t be necessary, little boy…you see we carry the DNA of the victims of Metal Virus and have same abilities of said friends. If you tell them now. It’ll make scared then before because you know. We all remember your blue companion running away from us and threw our master toward your time with the Warp Topaz…”
Szgany puts his face in front of Silver with menacing smile with red eyes.
“But enough of the word salad aside, it’s time for your execution…bring the girl…” Szgany commanded the werewolves.
The werewolves bring in Blaze and throw her down on the ground making Silver more furious.
“BASTARDS, I AM GOING TO—”
“Ah! One step forward, we’ll gut her and use her head as a gauntlet…” Szgany pointed his finger at the time-travelling hedgehog and walks up toward the cat with an axe.
“Time to die, don’t worry the master is hungry right now…while we’re waiting on your death. Let’s say we use your boyfriend’s head as a mount piece for our master, no?”
Szgany laughs as he raises up his axe above Blaze as sweat leaves Silver’s face and breathes heavily and grunts and gets louder as he glows in a full-blown teal color and yells at the top of his lungs and unleashes an all-powerful Psycho Shock, knocking every enemy minus Blaze as Szgany tries to keep his balance as they all see the silver hedgehog standing up with glowing golden eyes.
“GET THE BOY!” Szgany
Werewolves charge toward the fully-powered psychokinesis teenager. Silver summons five Psycho Knives as fly over the charging enemies as they slice, decapitate every werewolf as they all disintegrate into ash as heads and limbs fall over and dissolve. Blaze smirks and conjures up fire on her fists and burns the wolves into a crisp. Surprising Szagany and the other Vampbots.
Blaze runs toward the Hellhound and kicks him in the face and grabs the Sol Emerald on her paw.
“Thank you…now about your word salad comment?” Blaze smirked at the Hellhound.
Vampbots surround Silver and Blaze.
“Now you believe me?” Silver said.
“Indeed, I now understand…” Blaze replied back.
“Let’s say this is going to be a first in upcoming events, right?” Silver said toward the princess.
“Let’s make it the only one…”
A Vampbot growls as it runs up and jumps to maim Blaze, Blaze grabs it’s wrists and ignites her pyrokinesis as the Vampbot looks in dread as it gets burned alive and dissolves from the flames.
Silver and Blaze use their psychokinesis and pyrokinesis toward every Vampbot as each and every one gets sliced, diced, maimed, decapitated, crushed, and burned alive. A giant looking one charges toward the two.
“BLAZE!” Silver yelled.
Blaze sees the giant Vampbot. Blaze slides underneath and twirls and does a Spinning Claw as the giant one screams in agony being burned alive and runs away. A Vampbot surprise attacks Silver nearly clawing his cheek. Silver unleashes his psychokinesis and makes a ball made of dirt and throws at the Vampbot as the bot gets knocked down.
“I bet you Vampires do your pizza deliveries without the garlic bread!” Silver jokingly said.
The Vampbot sinisterly smiles and turns into a bat and flies away surprising Silver.
“SILVER, BEHIND YOU!!”
The burning Vampbot charges at Silver as Silver creates a Psychic Knife as he throws it at the screaming demon as it gets sliced apart and falls into tiny pieces as the bat, Silver faced flies away.
“The little one escaped!” Blaze ran next to Silver.
“Don’t worry, there’ll be more than that…where in god’s name is the hellhound guy?” Silver angrily said as he examines the area.
“He’s gone…” Blaze said looking around the ash covered forest.
“Dammit! I was this close on kicking his ass!!” Silver clenched his fists.
“Calm down, Silver! This was just the first of these moments! Sol knows what might come afterwards…with these vampires…”
“Uh, the appropriate word is, Vampbots…” Silver corrected Blaze.
“Right, Vampbots…” Blaze said with smile.
They hear humming as they see Big the Cat with his trusty fishing rod walking in the forest.
“Oh, hi Silver! Hi Blaze! I just got back fishing with my friend, Froggy! What did I miss? Was there a fire here?” Big said optimistically.
Silver and Blaze look at each other and back at Big blankly.
“What?” Big questioned
The bat flies across the background of the setting sun behind Sunset Heights as it turns into night with the building’s lights glow.
“You may have escaped, hedgehog and cat…but we’ll find your precious partners for the glory of our master…it will be a bloodbath…” Szgany said as his red eyes glow in the dark along with every Vampbot in the distance.

The stories in Dark Stars are great examples of how vast the range of horror can really be. Every story gave me something to sit and think about, and even had me going back to re-read a few. This is a brand-new anthology featuring some of the biggest names in horror right now. The featured authors in Dark Stars are: Caroline Kepnes, Ramsey Campbell, Priya Sharma, Livia Llewellyn, Stephen Graham Jones, Chesya Burke, Alma Katsu, John F.D. Taff, Gemma Files, Josh Malerman, Usman T. Malik, and John Langan. All who provide horror stories that go beyond the scares. I usually pick up an anthology when I see that an author I like is being included and the bonus is getting to read from other authors I might not be familiar with. With this anthology, though, all of the authors are big names in horror or dark fantasy. I usually keep horror anthologies to read a short story between books. This is an anthology I could sit and read the stories back to back without it getting repetitive because it isn’t a themed anthology. Each story is completely its own. My personal favorite stories from this anthology include: Chesya Burke’s “Trinity River Blues”, Gemma Files’s “The Sanguintalist”, John Langan’s “Enough for Hunger and Enough for hate”, Josh Malerman’s “Mrs. Addison’s Nest”, and Usman T. Malik’s “Challawa”. All of these authors continue to push the boundaries of what is considered horror and also how it can be every bit as literary and academic as other genres. I would recommend this anthology to people who love horror, of course, but also anyone who enjoys deep short stories that pack a lot to mull over.
