Sonic’s Return-Third Part
At that time, Misty was still getting acquainted with our new friends. Misty: “(Laugh) Wow! Your friend is so adorable, Fox. And she’s so polite. I bet your parents have raised you well, right, Cream?” Cream: “That’s right. I never forget my manners.” Amy: “So, Fox, how long have you and Misty known each other?” Me: “Well, we’ve known each other for about 8 years or so.” Cream: “How did you and Miss Misty become good friends, Mr. Fox?” Me: “Well, it all started when I was 4. My father died a few years ago and…Sonic, are you OK?”
I noticed Sonic looking up towards the sky for some reason. Sonic: “I…I’m probably seeing things. For a moment, I thought I saw Eggman.” Me: “Come again?” Sonic: “Remember the egg-bellied slow-mo that tried to take over our home world?” Me: “You mean Robotnik? Heh! Man, I can’t believe that egg-shaped body of his actually gave him a stupid nickname.” Amy: “Sonic, quit interrupting Fox. He was just starting his story. Please continue, Fox.” Me: “OK. Now, where was I? Oh, right! So, anyway, my father died a few years ago and I was still upset about it until my met my very 1st friend who helped ease the pain of my father’s death until…”
Just then, I heard a somewhat familiar laugh from above. I looked up and what do you know; I saw Dr. Eggman floating down in his hover cargo. Eggman: “(Laugh) Fox McCloud, long time no see.” Me: “Eggman!”
He stepped out of his hover cargo and Amy stepped in between him and me. Amy: “Stop! Don’t you dare come any closer to Fox! Stay away from him!” Eggman: “Now, Amy, let’s not be so hasty. Can’t I say hello to an old friend?” Amy: “Ha! Yeah, right! You’re lying! You just want to capture him and do some horrible things to him! Well, Knuckles may have fallen for a thousand tricks like that but I ain’t that gullible and I ain’t moving for anyone, not ever for…” Me: “Amy, it’s OK. I can take care of this myself.” Amy: “But Fox, do you even know who you’re dealing with?” Me: “Uh, yeah, I’m pretty sure I know whom I’m against. Now, could you just move.” Amy: “Oh… alright, but if he does anything, I won’t hesitate foe 1 minute.”
Amy stepped out of the way as Eggman stepped closer towards me. Cream: “Please, be careful, Mr. Fox.” Me: “So, Eggman, has it really been that long since we last met?” Eggman: “It appears so. I can tell that you have changed a lot since our encounter.” Me: “I know what you mean, and you’re still as fat and ugly as I recall.” Eggman: “Still haven’t let go of that sense of humor of yours, yet, have you?” Me: “It’s a gift. So, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about your new nickname that relates to egg-bellied slow-mo. Who knew that you would receive such a ridiculous name? Not me, but I’m not surprised; it’s written all over your giant gut!”
I started to crack up as well as the others around me. Even Sonic found it just as amusing as I did. However, not everyone thought that my joke is funny. Eggman: “How dare you! No one makes fun of the infamous Dr. Eggman.” Me:” Too late, Doc! Oh, I haven’t forgotten about that ludicrous face of yours. It makes you so ugly, you make blind people sick.”
Everyone began laughing again. Eggman was steamed. Eggman: “You insolent fool! No one makes fun of the Dr. Eggman and gets away with it!” Sonic: “Get real, Eggman. I have gotten away with making fun of you many times.” Eggman: “Ah, but I assure you this time will be different. This time you will all pay the ultimate price. I promise that once I’m through with all of you, you’ll never again make fun of the Dr. Eggman, the world’s greatest scientist. (Laugh)” Me: “World’s most complex moron sounds more suited for you.”
Everyone laughed again. This made Eggman even angrier. Eggman: “Let’s see how you like it when I unleash my robot army on all of you. Get them!”
Then from out of nowhere, all of Eggman’s robots came charging towards us. Sonic and friends did everything they could to fight back but they were overpowered and outnumbered almost immediately. I, on the other hand, wasn’t worried at all. Me: “Oh, please.”
I pulled out my staff and unleashed my ground quake attack. I took all those robots out one by one. Then I pointed my staff directly at him. Me: “Come on, Eggman. Give it up already. I have more fun watching paint dry than fighting your useless robots.” Eggman: “Oh, but it’s only begun. That new weapon of yours won’t be able to help you because I have the one thing you truly desire.”
Then Eggman relieved that he had concealed Misty and Knuckles in a large capsule. I couldn’t believe it. Eggman had captured the one true love of my life. She had a look of despair in her eyes as she held Knuckles close to her. Misty: “Fox, help.” Amy: “Oh, no, Eggman must have pulled another fast one on Knuckles. Fox, you have to save them!”
Then more of Eggman’s robot came charging in. Eggman: “(Laugh) Not so high and mighty now, huh, Fox? Now that I have your precious girlfriend. So, I suggest you surrender to me before things get ugly.”
At that moment, I was spellbound, so much so that I didn’t even noticed one of robots flying in. It grabbed my staff and flew off as Cheese chased after it. Me: “My staff!” Cream: “Cheese, come back!” Eggman: “Excellent. With you precious staff out of your hands and your precious girlfriend in my possession, you can’t stop me. And there’s nothing else you can do but surrender.”
What can I say? He’s was right. I had no other choice. Amy: “Fox, don’t give up, I know you’ll find another way to defeat Dr. Eggman, right?” Me: “I’m sorry, Amy. He has me cornered. There’s nothing I can do.”
