SONIC BLITZ
BOOK II OF THE CHAOTIX TRILOGY
BAD EGG
CHAPTER IV
DARK ESCAPE
“It could have been worse.” What Sonic said to Tails when short range stun grenade knocked out the entire city.
After a few minutes in the containment tanks, the group slowly started to regain consciousness. Sonic looked around in a groggy manner and saw everyone suspended in the tanks. He then noticed Shadow had also woken up. The blue haired teen looked at him and muttered, “So, you’re alive.” Shadow groaned in response, “Gee. Don’t sound too exited or anything. Where the hell are we? Last thing I remember is getting thrown off the ship like last weeks garbage.” Sonic looked at him for a moment before saying, “At least it wasn’t me.”
“If we weren’t trapped right now, I would so kick your ass for that.” Knuckles muttered from his prison, saying, “Oh, Shadow. Looks like you’re still alive.” Sonic smirked and said, “Wow. Don’t you just feel the love?” The other two muttered, “Shut up.” The black haired man looked around. “Okay, we made it into the ship, just slightly different from how we planed. Now what?” Sonic and Knuckles looked at him blankly.
After a moment the speedy teen replied, “Tell me you’re not that dense. We get out of here and take it down. That’s what.” Knuckles nodded. “Well, that sounds simple enough. Let’s just wave our magic wands and magically wish ourselves out of here.” He turned to Sonic and yelled, “Now stop acting like an idiot and think of a plan.” Sonic scratched his head and muttered, “Uh, I usually let Tails do the thinking.” Shadow and Knuckles both muttered in disapproval, “We noticed.”
Tails said in a depressed voice, “Can we stop stating the obvious, please? How do we get out?” Shadow reached behind his back and pulled out an assault rifle, saying, “How about I add some air holes to this thing?’ Sonic looked at him blankly and asked, “Uh, where the hell did you hide that?” The emotionless man adopted a thoughtful look and said, “I’m not really sure. Must be a plot hole in the storyline.” Tails, Knuckles and Sonic all muttered, “No surprise there.”
“I’ll do the writing, you guys just play along, Okay?” Came a loud booming voice. Knuckles and Shadow both asked, “What was that?” The blue haired teen replied, “Unless you want to get hit by lightning, you don’t want to know.” Not bothering to ask what he meant, the black haired male fired a burst of gunfire that seemed to be absorbed by the container. “What the….?” he yelled.
At that moment, Doctor Eggman’s voice said form the entrance, “Now, now, my friend. That was not exactly the most cautious maneuver you have preformed.” Sonic yelled, “Eggman! Let us out and see just how cocky you are.” The robust tyrant smiled and said, “I’d be more than happy to allow that request, if I were in fact the fool you think I am. Eggman was nowhere near clever to orchestrate and execute this plan. Now, not only do I have the power of the Master Emerald, but the power of the children of Chaos as well.”
Shadow smirked and said, “Well, why don’t you stop the mind games. I already know you’re not Eggman by your way of speaking. Just what are you.” The impostor smiled. “Well, it would appear that there is someone who knows their enemies in this group. You prisoners can call me Eggman Nega.” Sonic yelled, “Let us out of here and We’ll make you scrambled Eggman.” Tails turned to him and whined, “Please tell me you did not just say that. I think it just made my I. Q. drop into the negatives.
Knuckles looked at him and said, “What happened to the real One?” The copy smiled and replied, “Well, when the creature known as Chaos destroyed Robotropolis, he became, as your blue haired companion would so crudely put, Fried Eggman.” Shadow yelled, “One more pun like that, and I’ll fill you so full of bullets, you’ll be Poached Eggman… Dammit! Now I’m doing it!!!” Sonic sighed and muttered, “I am feeling a remarkably strong urge to format a certain hard drive at the moment.”
Eggman Nega smiled and said, “Well, I’ll leave you to your prisons while I prepare to drain you of all the power your fragile forms possess.” Sonic smiled and said, “Just out of curiosity, just how powerful is the energy in that chamber you put the power in?” The duplicate smiled and said, “It’s like having the Master Emerald itself on my ship.” Shadow smiled and said, “Well, I guess we’ll just have to thank you.”
Eggman Nega asked quizzically, “Really? What for?” Energy started to flow out of the chamber and into the tanks that Sonic and Shadow were kept in. The copy Yelled, “What are you doing?” The two fighters started to change forms to a dark and sinister copy of their original selves. They both said, in an identical cold, dark and hollow voice, “We’re children of Nazo, remember? That Chaos energy belongs to us.” With that, the chambers they were contained in burst into a mighty ball of flames. The two now stood there in the form of Nazo. “Time to finish what you started, you incompetent fool.”
