Blue Steel: A Visit From Metal Sonic By D-H Sonic F One day in the Metropolis Zone, Doctor Ivo Robotnik was talking to Orbinaut about Robotnik’s next plot to catch Sonic. "Lord Ivo, us Badniks could constantly attack the residents of the Green Hill Zone." Orbinaut said. "No, no, you have tried and tried to defeat Sonic by grouping up and it has never worked! We need someone else. We haven’t given it very many chances, so let’s try using…" Robotnik chuckled. "Metal Sonic." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Meanwhile, in Act 1 of the Green Hill Zone a bunch of animals were playing flewap (the Mobian version of soccer). On one team were Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower the Fox, Amy Rose the Hedgehog, Johnny Lightfoot the Rabbit, Sally Acorn the Squirrel, and Franko the Fox. The other team consisted of Tux the Penguin, Flicky the Bluebird, Joe Sushi the Walrus, Uriri (Franko Fox’s girlfriend, pronounced Uh-re-re) the Squirrel, Setvud the Hedgehog, and Tukfed the Echidna. (Author’s Note: The only characters that I made up here are Franko, Uriri, Setvud, and Tukfed.) Sonic was kicking the flewap ball down the soccer field, until Tukfed tackled him. "Sorry, I believe the ball should be going that way." Tukfed said, pointing to the opposite direction that Sonic was running. Tukfed quickly passed to Uriri, and Uriri ran down the way Tukfed was pointing, but Franko got in front of her. Uriri quickly tried to get past Franko. Then Uriri stopped, trapped the ball, and stared into Franko’s eyes. Franko blushed, but Uriri kept staring. Then Uriri passed to Tux, Tux passed to Flicky, Flicky passed to Setvud, Setvud passed to Joe, Joe passed to Tukfed, and Tukfed shot and scored. "That’s 6-7, but we can still win!" Sally said. "Yeah!" Tails said. Amy kicked off. Amy, (for obvious reasons) passed to Sonic, Sonic zoomed down the field, kicked the flewap ball down the field, but Setvud blocked the shot and ran the to the other goal. Sally tackled, got the ball, and ran the direction Sonic was originally running. She shooted, and scored a point. The score was tied 7-7. Sonic heard a slight buzzing. It got a little louder, then it stopped. But then everyone heard a really loud buzz and they saw a swarm of: "BUZZBOMBERS!" Sonic shouted, "Okay, everyone, halftime!" The Badniks started firing. Then Sonic bashed a few Buzzbombers, but more kept coming. Not just Buzzbombers, but a wide variety of Badniks. Sonic, Tails, and Amy kept bashing more and more, but more kept coming. "Alright, Uriri girl, let’s rock and roll!" Franko said. Franko and Uriri started bashing some Badniks. But then Joe saw a big blue Badnik coming towards Sonic. "Sonic, watch out!" Sonic recognized the blue Badnik. It was… Metal Sonic. "We meet again, young hedgehog. I suppose you might’ve grown afraid of me, have you?" Metal Sonic said. Sonic performed a Super Sonic Spin Attack on Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic said, "That won’t help you very much, hedgehog." "Oh yeah?" Sonic said. "What if I keep doing it?" Sonic performed another Spin Attack on Metal Sonic, but before he could land, Metal Sonic let out a burst of super speed and charged right into Sonic, and Sonic lost all his rings. Sonic got a few back, but he was still low on rings. "Inferior hedgehog, you will be destroyed immediately." Metal Sonic said. "NO!" Sonic shouted. Metal Sonic said, "Concentrate on target hedgehog.." Sonic ran circles around Metal Sonic. "Cant keep target lock.. BZZZT BZZAATTT" Metal Sonic continued. Tails said, "Oh my god, it looks like Metal Sonic’s gonna blow!" Amy said, "You’re right! We could have Metal Sonic destroyed real soon!" BZZZZT BZZAATTTT BZZONK BZZZZZZ.. FOOOM! Metal Sonic regained control of itself. "Furry scum, I have advanced recovery systems! You ain’t done with me yet!" Metal Sonic said. Meanwhile, Franko Fox and Uriri the Squirrel were still bashing other Badniks and they realized what was happening with Metal Sonic. "Franko, maybe we need to help bash Metal Sonic." Uriri said. "Quick, to the catapult!" They reached one of the catapults in the Green Hill Zone. Franko said, "Allright, Metal Sonic, prepare to meet your doom!" Uriri took an ax and chopped a vine that was keeping the catapult from firing. "Allright, hedgehog, I’ll just get you by charging at you!" Metal Sonic said. But a big rock went flying from the catapult and hit Metal Sonic right on its head. "Score 1 for the Green Hill Zone!" Sonic said. Metal Sonic regained control of itself. "According to sensor readings, that rock came from over.. there!" Metal Sonic said. Franko and Uriri gasped. "I’ll get rid of you, furry scum!" Metal Sonic said. With that, it rolled into a ball and charged at Franko and Uriri. They both jumped, but Uriri was one step behind and got hit by Metal Sonic. "AUGH!" Franko said. "Uriri, speak to me!" Franko continued. Metal Sonic said, "Sorry, your little friend there is badly hurt." "I -- won’t -- let -- her -- die!" Franko said. Franko took Uriri to Sonic. "What can I do, Sonic?" Franko said. Sonic thought for a minute, and then an idea popped into his head. "Wait here." Sonic said. Oh great. With Metal Sonic and all. Sonic zoomed into his hut in Act 3. Sonic got a piece of paper with the coordinates of a place known as, "The Hospital." (Remember from "Island go Down Da Hooooole!?") Sonic zoomed back out of his hut, and into Act 1. "I’m back! Just follow this and you’ll be at a pretty good hospital!" Sonic said. Franko was on his way. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Franko reached his destination. "Great. Just great. Sonic said there was a hospital here and I’m in the middle of a big forest." Franko said. "This distinctly qualifies as quite a fix." Franko saw a wolf in the forest. Franko called to him, "Hey, is there a hospital anywhere near here?" "Sure, you’re almost there. Just go right and you’ll find it." "Are you sure?" "Absolutely sure." "Okay.." Franko walked right. He gasped. This hospital was a circle of logs, a straw bed in the middle, with some pots to the sides of the straw bed. Some pots were heated, others were not, but each pot had a stick (all the bark was removed from the stick) in it. There were a bunch of wolves there, fixing up the place. "Uhh.. hello? I have a patient here.." One of the wolves said, "Hello and welcome to the hospital. I am Zerkig." All the other wolves introduced themselves. They were Ranig, Oucko (pronounced O-KO), Weror (rhymes with terror), and Sanir. "And what is your name?" Weror said. Franko said, "I’m Franko, and this patient is my girlfriend Uriri. But her name will be DEAD if we don’t hurry!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Metal Sonic, I’m gettin’ tired of you!" Sonic said. "*chuckle*chuckle* Too bad." Metal Sonic said. It rolled into a ball, and bounced all over the place. About time for Super Sonic. But how? Then Metal Sonic, still rolled into a ball, charged at Sonic. Sonic ran a fast as he could, and used a catapult to hit Metal Sonic with a big rock. "Ouch! Stop it with the big rocks!" Metal Sonic said. "How’s a big log instead?" Sonic used a slingshot to hit Metal Sonic with a big log. "Stop those too!" Metal Sonic said. "Just to be safe, how about an entire TREE?" Sonic said. Sonic chopped down a tree and it fell on Metal Sonic. "I’m.. tired.. of.. you.. hedgehog! I.. need.. repair.. I’ll.. see.. you.. again.. hedgehog!" Metal Sonic said. With that, Metal Sonic flew away. "Whew!" Tails said. "I’m glad we lived through that one!" Sonic said, "We have, but I know of someone who might not.." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Any good news about Uriri girl?" Franko asked. "So far, not much. But were working hard at it." Sanir said. "I hope Uriri lives.." Franko said. Before we move on, I’ll tell you a fact about Franko and Uriri. They have mysterious telepathic powers so they can communicate with each other, but unfortunately, only each other. No one else on Mobius knows about this. Franko attempted to talk to Uriri via telepathy. It worked. Franko: Uriri girl! I was hoping you were well enough to talk to me via telepathy. Uriri: My mind is okay, but my body isn’t. Franko: I understand. But the problem is, you’re expected to die. Uriri: DIE? I’m to young for that! Franko: I’m afraid so. This is weird. If you’re expected to die, howcum your mind is okay? Uriri: My mind is nothing like any other squirrels’ minds. Franko: Either way, I hope you live. Metal Sonic doesn’t deserve to kill anyone! Uriri: Of course not. Metal Sonic is just a bunch of steel scum! Franko: Yeah! Anyway, do you feel any pain on the upper body? Uriri: Zip, zilch, zero, nada, nothing. (Franko bursts out laughing) Uriri: What is it? Franko: The people in the hospital think that the place you were hurt was somewhere in the upper body. (Uriri laughs a little too) Uriri: Just tell them that maybe, just maybe what they think is wrong. Franko: Okay. Goodbye, Uriri girl! Uriri: Goodbye! Seeya! Franko went over to the wolves. "Are you sure she got hurt on the upper body?" "More or less, yeah." Ranig said. "You absolutely positively sure?" Franko asked. "We could see," Oucko said. Oucko spooned some orange slop out of a heated pot with a stick and put it on Uriri’s lower body. "That should do the trick, if she was hit on the lower body. Franko attempted talking to Uriri via telepathy again. Franko: Hello again, Uriri girl! Uriri: Hello! How’d it go? Franko: They’re trying using the theory that you were hit on the lower body. Uriri: Finally. Franko: I don’t know whether they’re making any progress, though. Are you feeling any better? Uriri: A little. Franko: That’s good to hear! (pause) Franko: Uriri girl? (another pause) Franko: Uriri girl, where are you? (Guess what? Another pause) Franko: URIRI GIRL?!? Franko stopped attempting talking to Uriri via telepathy. "How’s Uriri girl doing?" Franko asked. Franko saw Uriri, okay, sitting on the straw bed. "Uriri girl!" Franko said, and they hugged each other. Franko turned to the wolves. "Thank you for helping Uriri girl." Franko said. "Ditto!" Uriri said. Uriri started talking to Franko via telepathy. Uriri: Sorry for when I abruptly stopped talking to you. Side effect of being revived. Franko: Huh? Uriri: You know what I told you, "My mind is nothing like any other squirrels’ minds!" Franko: Anyway, we’d better say our goodbyes to the wolves and head for the Green Hill Zone. Uriri: You’re right. Seeya in reality! They stopped talking to each other via telepathy. "Well, I guess this means goodbye." Franko said to the wolves. "Goodbye, maybe we’ll see each other again!" Zerkig said. They left for the Green Hill Zone. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Who?" Tails asked. "Uriri the Squirrel, girlfriend of Franko Fox. She was dying when I told Franko to take her to that hospital ran by wolves. "I remember that place. I liked it there." Amy said. Tails said, "But where are Franko and Uriri? They should’ve come back by now!" "Here we are!" Uriri said, just entering the Green Hill Zone with Franko. Sonic said, "Franko! Uriri! We were worried about you!" "Well, we’re back, and Uriri’s totally okay!" Franko said. "We are totally victorious! Metal Sonic defeated and no one’s hurt!" Amy said. "Hooray!" The End
