Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Sword of Chaos ❯ Snively Attacks Knothole ( Chapter 4 )

Sonic the Hedgehog was running through Knothole Kingdom. He was pushing himself as fast as he could go. A few inches behind him was Mina Mongoose. The yellow mongoose had really gotten better since he had started teaching her how to control her speed. Tails was a few feet a head with a flag. As Sonic past by Tails dropped the flag,

"The winner, Sonic."

The blue hedgehog stopped, but then Mina crashed into him. Sonic's green eyes locked with Mina's blue once. They were like that for a few seconds before Mina got off him. Tails ran up,

"Good race."

Mina shook her head, "I still can't stop right."

Sonic put his hand on her shoulder, "Chill. You doing much better."

Mina managed a smile, "Thanks Sonic."

She checked her watch, "Sorry I got to go."

Mina ran off. Sonic and Tails waved bye. Sonic looked to his little buddy, "Want to go get a Chili Dog."

The orange fox nodded, "Ok."

The two friends started to walk toward Sonic's house, but then they heard an explosion coming from the center of town. They looked at each other and they ran toward the sound. When they reached the center of town, they got a shock. Snively was standing in the middle of a squad of strange looking Swatbots. Eleven in all. Two were about seven feet tall and had huge plasma canons for arms. Two others were about five foot and were painted deep red and they had huge gas tanks on their backs. Two others were black and had wings and a jetpack on. One of them was painted deep red and had a strange antenna on its back. The remaining four were five foot five, green, and caring shields.

Sonic looked to Tails, "How in the hell did they get here?"

Tails shook his head, "Haven't a clue. I am going to go get the Tornado."

Sonic nodded and Tails flew off. People were running away as fast as they could. The Swatbots were just looking around. Their single red glowing eye was moving around in their visors. Suddenly Snively ran off toward Castle Acorn. Sonic wanted to chase him down, but he was sure the castle guards would handle him,

"Snively is being daring today."

Sonic jumped down near the Swatbots, "Hey medal heads. What are you doing in my hometown?"

Every bot looked at him. The one with the antenna yelled, "Capture the hedgehog."

Two of the green ones jumped at him. Sonic moved as the Swatbots landed next to him. Sonic jumped a few feet away. Sonic was going to throw a wise crack, but the other two green one grabbed him from the sides. The held him up. Sonic tried to move, but the bots were to strong. just then the two bot that were holding him, heads blew off. Sonic fell to the ground and looked around. Tails fell from the sky, his plane the Tornado transformed into its assault walker mode. The other Swatbots scattered as Tails aimed the rocket launcher. Sonic smiled as Tails tossed him a power ring,

"What took you?"

Tails smiled, "Had to make sure the area was clear of people before I brought the heavy guns."

Sonic nodded, "Good luck, bro."

Tails nodded. Sonic ran off and Tails began his search.

Snively ran through the town, pushing the few people out of the way. He was confident the Swatbots could take Sonic and Tails. He had to capture another prize. The Castle Acorn rose in front of him. It was made of gray stone and had a few balconies and windows. As Snively approached the castle gates, two badgers holding spears blocked his path. Snively drew the Sword of Chaos. He swung it. A black energy blade shot out and sliced both of them. The fell to the ground, alive, but very hurt. Snively jumped the gate and landed in the court yard. Four beavers ran at him. Snively waited till they were close. He looked to the sky and held the sword close. He yelled out load,

"Energy Field!"

A dome of energy grew from Snively and slammed the four beavers far away. The dome vanished and Snively ran at the castle door. He jumped into the air and brought it down with one jump kick. The door fell on a couple of guards on the other side. Snively ran trough the castle taking out any of the guards that got in his way. he burst into the main hall. The King and his family were at the other end.

Snively smiled, "Too easy."

Snively calmly walked to the throne. He gave a mocking bow, "Princess. You will come with me!"

The king rolled his wheel chair in front of Sally, "How dare you come into my home, harm my guards, and now demand my daughter?"

Snively smiled, " Because I have real power."

Snively hand shot up and backhanded the king. The king was flung from his wheelchair and landed hard on the floor a few feet away. Queen Alicia Acorn and Sally tried to run to him, but were stopped by Snively's blade, "Princess. Please come with me. Or I will have to harm your lovely mother too."

Alicia tried to resist, but Sally stepped forward, "I'll go with you."

Snively bowed, "Smart move."

A rope appeared and tied Sally up. Snively threw her on to his left shoulder, "See Ya." He yelled as he ran out of the castle.

Sonic rounded a corner and ran into the two red Swatbots. They aimed their cannon arms. Flame shot out of the cannons. Sonic ran up the side of the building and jumped in between the two bots. The bots turned and fired. Sonic rolled out of the way as the bots shot each other. Sonic turned to laugh, but the bots weren't even burnt.

Sonic gulped, "Great fire proof."

As the bots took aim, one of them burst apart. Sonic looked puzzled as a skunk ran out from the side of the building. He aimed his arm mounted crossbow and fired an arrow at the gas tank of the other bot. It exploded when the arrow hit the tank. The skunk walked up to Sonic.

Sonic smiled," Never thought I'd ever be happy to see your ugly mug."

The skunk fixed his hat and reloaded his crossbow, "What? You thought you were the only one who can help?"

Sonic turned, "Guess so St. John. I'll check the east and west sides of town. We got to take the rest of the bots out."

St. John nodded, "I'll take north. I saw Tails heading south." The two nodded and ran to their respective areas.

Sonic ran weaving in between buildings and fleeing people. As Sonic reached a clearing, he saw Antoine holding his sword and staring into the sky. Sonic ran over to the coyote,

"Yo Antoine what are you looking at?"

Antoine didn't drop his gaze, "Bunnie is fighting those flying bots."

Sonic looked up, his green eyes scanning the skies. The two turned when they saw Bunnie drop from the sky using the jets in her feet to fly past. The two black flying Swatbots flew down firing their arm lasers. Bunnie dodged the fire, but just barley.

Antoine looked to Sonic, "What do we do?"

Sonic thought for a moment. He snapped his fingers, "Antoine get ready to jump."

Sonic put his hands together and crouched down. Antoine nodded and put his right foot into Sonic's hands.

Sonic yelled, "Hey Bunnie. This way."

The rabbot nodded and flew over Sonic and Antoine. As the bots flew past Sonic launched Antoine up. With one swipe of his sword, Antoine sliced one of the bots wing off. The bot fell to the ground and exploded. The other bot turned to Sonic and Antoine. As it took aim, Bunnie took aim with her left arm's cannon, she blasted a hole into the bots chest. The bot fell to the ground and exploded. Bunnie landed. Antoine ran over and gave her a hug,

"I was so worried."

Bunnie hugged back, "I know."

Sonic shook his head, "You guys got things covered here?" The two nodded. Sonic gave thumbs up and ran off.

Tails drove around the southern area of Knothole Kingdom. He doubled checked his walkers radar. It showed nothing,

"Where are those bots?"

As if to answer him one of the large purple ones appeared in front of him. It aimed its heavy laser cannons. It fired a wall of red hot energy fire at him. Tails's walker jump to one side. The wall of lasers hit a near by building and destroyed it.

Tails frowned, "Hey you can't do that." Tails took aim with his charged particle gun. He fired. A bluish beam fired out of the gun. The bot jumped to one side, but the gun was on a turret an followed him. The beam ripped through the bot. It fell to the ground unmoving. Tails jumped with joy, but the other bot snuck up behind him and took aim. Before Tails could do anything a green laser beam shot out and destroyed the bot's head. Tails turned to see where the shot came from. A fat purple walrus was standing a few feet away, holding a large laser cannon.

Tails waved, "Thanks Rotor."

The walrus waved back, "No problem Tails. I have been dying to try my new laser cannon."

As Rotor turned to leave, two of the green Swatbots appeared and shoved him down. Rotor fell to the ground and dropped his weapon. The bots took aim at him with their arm lasers. Tails rushed to help, but before he could do anything, a familiar blue blur jumped from some near by bushes. Sonic started his spin attack and sliced the two bots' heads clean off. They fell to the ground. Sonic helped Rotor up,

"You ok Rotor?"

The walrus nodded, "Yeah. Just a little bruised."

Sonic nodded, "Cool. Lets fan out. We have three more bots and Snively to find."

They nodded. Rotor picked up his weapon and ran off. Tails walked up to Sonic,

"Sonic do you know how Snively and the Swatbots managed to get here?"

Sonic shook his head, "No clue bro. But I plan to find out."

As Sonic and Tails started to move out, Snively jumped in front of them and the three remaining Swatbots walked up behind him.

Snively smiled, "I never thought it would be this easy to find all of my targets."

Tails noticed Sally over Snively's shoulder, "Hey what are you doing with Aunt Sally?"

Sonic's eyes narrowed.

Snively laughed, "My new boss wants to spend some time with this beauty."

He gave Sally to the command Swatbot and drew his sword, "Lets do this."

Sonic revved up, "You'll pay for what you have done."

Sonic jumped at Snively. Snively took off at speeds that put Sonic to shame and ran at Tails. Tails took aim, but before he could fire, Snively drove his sword into the Tornado and dragged the sword through the right side of the walker. Sparks flew from the walker. Tails jumped from the walker just as it exploded. Tails was blown through the air by the blast and hit his head hard against the side of a near by building. He slumped to the ground out cold. Sonic shook his fist at Snively,

"How dare you."

Sonic lunged at Snively. Snively simply side stepped him and slammed to hilt of his sword into the side of Sonic's head. Sonic fell to the ground, but rolled back up to his feet. Sonic curled up into a ball and tried his spin dash attack. Snively smacked Sonic with the side of his sword and sent Sonic flying into a tree. Sonic bounced off the tree and attacked Snively again. Snively caught Sonic on the flat side of his sword. Sonic spun on the sword for a second then Snively flung him to the ground. Sonic uncurled and stared at Snively. He hated the smirk on Snively face. The bald guy ran his hand through the few hairs on his head,

"Rodent. Why don't you give up? I have all the cards."

Sonic spat on the ground, "No way Snively. I am taking you down big time."

Sonic tried a jump kick. Snively grabbed his leg and slammed him face first into the ground. As Sonic pushed himself up, Snively kicked him hard in the stomach. Sonic fell down again. Sally who had been watching the fight yelled,

"Sonic are you all right?"

Sonic tried to respond, but Snively picked him up by his throat and flung him into the side of a building. He slammed him so hard the building wall cracked. Sonic fell down. Snively pointed his sword at Sally and black lightning shot out. The lightning knocked her out. Sonic stood up his legs barely holding him up. Snively turned to him and smiled,

"I have to keep you alive, but I wasn't told what condition you had to be in." He held the sword high, "Lets see. I guess I will start with your legs. You won't need them."

As he was about to swing, Bunnie flew out of no where and fired her arm cannon. Snively jumped out of the way and swung at Bunnie. Bunnie stopped and flew up. Antoine appeared from behind a corner and helped Sonic up. Sonic managed a small smile,

"Glad to see you bud."

Antoine started to sneak Sonic away while Bunnie kept Snively busy. St John jumped from the bushes and fired an arrow at the Swatbots. The arrow pierced one of the green ones head. The arrow blew the bots head off. As St John made a jump for Sally, the red command bot slammed its fist into St John's back. As he tried to get up the bot kicked him in the face. St John fell to the ground and stopped moving. The last green one picked up the unconscious Tails and stood with the command Swatbot. Bunnie swooped at Snively. Snively grabbed her robotic left arm with his left arm and swung her around. After a few passes Snively smiled,

"See you later."

He swung his sword and sliced Bunnie's robotic arm off at the elbow. She hit the ground and rolled to a tree. She tried to get up, but fell to the ground. Antoine dropped Sonic and in a fit of rage he charged Snively, sword held high. As Antoine brought his sword down, Snively blocked with his sword. Antoine sword broke on impact with Snively's sword. Snively then slammed Antoine in the face and sent Antoine flying through the air and landing on a nearby roof. Snively turned to Sonic who was trying to stand up. Snively scratched his long pointed nose,

"Sorry about the interruptions. Now where was I."

He thought for a moment. As he thought Mina Mongoose ran at him and tried to tackle him. In one motion he grabbed her neck and flung her at the Swatbots. As the yellow mongoose flew near, the red command Swatbot lifted its right foot and Mina hit it hard. Mina fell to the ground and the bot put its foot down.

Snively shrugged, "Guess I will just pound you until you beg for mercy."

As Snively walked toward Sonic some yelled out,

"Speed Shot!"

A green beam of energy shot out and slammed into the side of Snively's face. Snively was slammed into a wall. Sonic turned to see a bandaged and bleeding Speed being helped up by a light red female echidna. A Chaos Emerald was clutched in his shaking right hand. The green hedgehog tossed the emerald to Sonic.

"Thanks."

Sonic pointed the emerald at Snively got up, "What happen?"

Sonic yelled," Sonic Wind!"

A blue wind of force shot out of the emerald and slammed into Snively. He landed next to the Swatbots. Snively slowly stood up,

"I'll be back."

Snively and the Swatbots vanished, taking Sally and Tails with them. Sonic wanted to help Sally and Tails, but he had to help the others first. Sonic walked to help Speed up as medics ran in to assist the fallen fighters.

Back at Robotropolis, Snively bowed deeply as Bojack turned Tails into a brown Chaos Emerald and absorbed it. Bojack looked a little shocked when he grew two fox tails.

He shrugged, "Small price to pay for power."

He stared at Snively. He was shaking, awaiting punishment for failing to kill Speed and to capture Sonic.

Bojack smiled, "Stand up my friend. You have done well enough."

Snively looked up slowly. Bojack sat down, "You have brung me the princess. I have more power thanks to the fox. And there is no way Speed can help Sonic in his condition. Sonic will come to us."

Snively nodded, Yes sir."

Bojack waved him off, "Go to the edge of the Great Forest and wait. You will ambush Sonic as he comes to rescue the princess. I would teleport you, but I need to refocus my power for another task."

Snively bowed, "Of course sir. I will leave at once." Snively ran out. Bojack smiled and walked over to Sally who was hanging from the wall in chains, "Soon my dear. Very Soon."

Sonic sat in the waiting room of the hospital. The light red echidna was sitting across from him. Sonic shifted his shoulders. He had a huge headache and plenty of bruises. Believe it or not he came out of the fight the least injured. A very bad thing for Snively. Sonic looked at the echidna, her purple eyes staring at the door to the main part of the hospital.

Sonic took a breath, "Friend of Speed?"

The echidna smiled, "My name is Leda. I am his wife."

Sonic's mouth dropped, "Your kidding."

Leda held up a gold bracelet, "We were going to get rings, but we thought they would get trashed while we travel."

Sonic slowly nodded. The both shot up as Dr. Quack walked in. The yellow duck was holding a huge clip board. Sonic was the first to speak, "How is everyone?"

The doctor scratched his bill, Most of them have only a few bumps and bruises. But St. John has two broken ribs. Mina has a minor concussion, Antoine has a broken left arm, and Bunnie has a few bruised ribs and her left arm has been cut clean off. Rotor is with her now, trying to repair it."

Leda grabbed the duck's arm, "And Speed?"

Dr. Quack took a deep breath, "His left leg is broken in several places, most of his ribs are bruised, but not broken, he suffered mild head trauma, and has more cuts and bruises than I can count. Aside for that he will be alright, but he wont be going anywhere for quite awhile."

"Can I see him?"

Dr. Quake nodded, "Room 114."

Leda ran off. Sonic patted the duck on the shoulder, "Thanks doc."

Dr. Quake nodded, "I try."

He walked off. Sonic was going to see his friends, but a flash of light stopped him. He turned to see a brown echidna standing a few feet away next to a creature made of water, "Tikal! Chaos! What are you two doing here?"

Tikal looked grim, "We have come to warn you. In the next fight you could die."

Sonic smiled, "That is just great."
