The
Prophecy
part 2
by
Sonique
Weeks
went by and the relation ship between Snively and Alison grew tense.
Alison
would try to be nice and show him how kind she could be but every time,
something
went horribly wrong and he’d end up hating her even more until one day
he
snapped.
It was
another cold morning in Robotropolis and Snively woke up and went to
check
on his experiment next to his dresser. He was trying to genetically alter
one’s
scalp with a chemical he had created. This would hopefully help him grow
his
hair again but for now, he was testing it on a large potato, which sat on a
shelf
above a beaker full of the chemical. The experiment looked fine and the
potato
showed signs of a few hairs sprouting. It had taken him weeks to find the
right
elements for the chemical and he was very fortunate to find what he had.
He had
told Alison to stay away from the chemical but had said nothing about the
potato.
The
door sprung open and in pranced Alison. She exclaimed to Snively, "Hey,
watch
my aim now!"
"Wait!"
He shouted but the next thing he knew she had all ready aimed at the
beam
that supported the potato and fired. To Snively’s horror, she hit the beam
dead on
and the potato fell into the beaker below it. "NNNOOOOOOOO!!" He
yelled
at the
top of his lungs. The worse was yet to come. He was about to charge after
her but
then the beaker made a funny noise. "Huh?" The potato was expanding
at a
rapid
rate until it was about the size of a grapefruit then KAPOW! The potato
exploded.
Mashed potatoes flew across the room along with the chemical. Then
hair
began to grow in various spots across the room but not on Snively’s head.
Snively
looked around the room shaking with rage. He turned to Alison and said,
"You...
you... stupid.. you..." His voice trailed off.
"Well
you said not to touch the chemical, not the beam above it." She twirled
the gun
around her finger, "But you have to admit," She put the gun in her
holster,
"it was a great shot."
He
looked at her in shock, amazed at her ignorance. He angrily grabbed one of
her
furbies and ran toward the window. With a graceful motion he flung the furby
out the
window. The furby’s response was, "Wee! Big fun!"
"NO!"
Alison ran over to the window to watch it smash into the ground. "No, not
Klahn-Dah!"
Snively
had a rather pleased look on his face.
"Okay,
fine." She ran over to one of his dressers and grabbed a blue vase.
"How
about
this?" She threw it onto the floor and it shattered into tiny pieces.
"NO!"
Snively was no longer pleased. "My mom gave that to me."
"Oh."
Alison said as if she was sorry. Then, she picked up a glass globe and
whipped
that onto the floor, breaking that as well, "I’ll break something of
less
value."
"ARUGH!"
Snively screamed.
He
charged at her with his hands out ready to kill. Tackling her, he screamed
with
rage as they fell onto the floor with a thud. He threw his hands around her
neck
trying to choke her, but she was able to roll over so she was on top of
him.
She sat up and then whipped her knee into his crotch. Snively cried out in
pain
and Alison got off from him. He curled up into a ball and held his crotch
whimpering
in pain.
She
smiled, "That was fun! We should do it again sometime."
As she
left she heard him mumble, "I hate my life."
Alison
patrolled through the streets of Robotropolis making sure everything was
quiet
like it should be. For some reason, the words of the echidna rang in her
head,
"Jump!.. Believe in yourself." She shrugged her shoulders, "What
the hey?
Like
it’s even real." She bent down and pushed up with her legs as hard as she
could
and it came to no surprise she could only jump as high as any normal
person.
"I knew it. It was bogus." Then, voices caught her attention.
"Are
y’all ready to go, Sugah-hog?"
"Sal,
is Nicole ready?"
"It’s
all been taken care of Sonic."
Alison
recognized the name Sonic right away. It was the hedgehog that Robotnik
hated
so much and always spoke of. Alison went in quietly for a closer look. She
could
see a blue hedgehog with green eyes wearing red sneakers. Along with him
was a
ground-squirrel with a blue vest, blue shoes and of course, blue eyes; a
rabbit
whose legs and left arm were robotic was also with them. She had blue
green
eyes wore a pink body suit. Alison listened closely to their conversation.
"So,
here’s the plan," The squirrel spoke, "Sonic will distract the guards
guarding
the factory, and then Bunnie and I will go inside and plant the
explosives.
Sonic, we’ll give you the signal when we are ready, then you come
and get
us and Nicole will detonate the explosives."
"Uh-oh!
That’s not cool!" Alison thought to herself. "I’d better stop them
before
they cause any damage." Alison leaped out from behind the corner and
pointed
her weapon at them. "Not so fast Freedom Fighters." She said in an
evil
tone.
They
all gasped and turned to her. The squirrel asked, "Who are you?"
"Must
be one of Ro-butt-nik’s lackeys."
"What’s
a lackey?" Alison asked.
They
all looked at each other in confusion.
"What?"
Alison asked again.
"You
new around here?" Sonic inquired.
"Maybe,
maybe not." She replied.
"Well
we’ve got a factory to blow so if you don’t mind, we gotta juice!" Sonic
took
the girls’ arms and with a great boost of speed ran up the building next to
them.
Alison
watched him amazement, "Whoa! I have to get up there to stop Sonic."
Then
she
remembered what the echidna had said, "Believe in yourself. You can do
it."
Without
thinking, she backed up, took a running start, "I can do it. I can do
it!"
and pushed off with her legs. "Whoa!" She flew into the air just like
in
her
dream but, the echidna wasn’t there to guide her safely onto the building.
Trying
her best not to get killed, she shifted her legs forward toward the
building,
closed her eyes, and surprisingly landed on her feet right in front of
the
Freedom Fighters. "Cool." Then she turned to them and ordered,
"I said
stop!"
"No,
you said ‘not so fast.’" Sonic retorted.
Alison
shrugged, "I meant to say stop."
"How
in the high heavens did you get up this high so darn fast?" The rabbit
asked.
"I
jumped."
"No
one can jump that high." The squirrel replied.
"I
can." She twirled the gun around her finger, "Now if you don’t mind,
I think
you
should come with me."
"Neat
trick." Sonic replied.
"Hey
that’s nothing." Alison said, "Watch this." She twirled it
around her index
finger
on her right hand and with a graceful motion, transferred her gun to the
index
finger of her other hand and then back again. "Cool, huh?" She looked
around
on the building and realized they had left, "Aw shit!" She said. She
leaped
off the building landing on her feet and picked up her communicator.
"What
is now, Snively?" Robotnik answered in an annoyed voice.
"Um,
it’s me, Alison, Sir. Over."
"Oh,
it’s you, my dear. What can I do for you?"
There
was a short amount of silence but then Robotnik said, "Well?"
"You
didn’t say over, sir." Alison remarked. While Alison was walking and
looking
at her communicator, she didn’t noticed Snively walking right in front
of her.
"Oof!" She tumbled over him dropping the communicator down a sewer.
"Hey!"
Snively exclaimed to her.
"Oh,
geeze, Snively, now see what you did!" She yelled.
"What?
You ran into me."
"We
don’t have time for this, the hedgehog is here."
"How
do you know?"
"I
saw him, and this bunny and this something else, like a half squirrel and
half
deer or chipmunk."
"Really?"
"Come
on, we need to get a hold of Robotnik."
"Nice
try girly, but I don’t listen to something that can bleed for a week and
doesn’t
die." Snively commented while walking past her.
"HEY!"
Alison exclaimed in anger. "You’ll be sorry you worthless freak of
nature!"
She yelled at him.
Alison
turned and started towards Robotnik’s headquarters to warn him. She
wasn’t
sure which of the factories the Freedom Fighters targeted because so many
aligned
the streets or Robotropolis. As she got about three block away from the
main
building, she heard the squirrels voice, "Get ready to detonate
Nicole."
Alison
ran towards her. As she got closer she noticed that the squirrel was
talking
to a computer about the size of a calculator. "That must be Nicole."
she
thought.
Before the squirrel noticed, Alison flashed by grabbing Nicole.
"NO!!!
Sonic, Sonic, she’s got Nicole. We can’t let her bring her to Robotnik."
"I’m
on it Sal." Sonic dashed after Alison. Alison was fast, but not faster
than
Sonic.
Alison jumped up the nearest building. Sonic pulled a power ring out of
his
backpack. When held by Sonic, the power ring would become a source of
incredible
energy, which would serge through him like lightning in a
thunderstorm.
"Juice and jam time!!" With those words Sonic sped up the
building,
unfortunately he ran right into Alison who had stopped to catch her
breath.
He crashed into her so hard that they both went tumbling down the side
of the
building. Alison grabbed onto Sonic’s arms right before she landed onto
her
feet saving his life.
The
squirrel and rabbit came running onto the scene.
"Are
you all right, Sugah-hog?" asked the rabbit.
"Sal,
Bunnie, she just saved my life."
"I
couldn’t let him just fall to his death."
"What
d’y’all make a’ this, Sally-girl?" the rabbit asked the squirrel.
Alison
pointed to the rabbit, "So, you’re Bunnie," then pointed to the
squirrel,
"you’re
Sally," and then finally to the hedgehog, "and you’re Sonic?"
"Butt-nik
must’ve told you about us." Sonic stated.
Alison
chuckled, "Butt-nik. That’s funny." Again, Alison remembered her
dream
and
asked, "Do you guys know any peach colored echidnas that may be in
danger?"
They
all stared at each other in confusion again, then Sally answered, "Not
that
we know
of. Why?"
"That’s
why I’m here. To help some peach colored echidna." She looked at the
ground,
"But I’d really like to go home."
"So,
you don’t live in Robotropolis?" Sally inquired.
"I
do now. But I’ve been asking for Dr. Robotnik to help get me to my real home,
but
he’s always busy."
"I
really don’t think Robotnik is ever going to help you get home." Sally
remarked.
"Why
wouldn’t he?"
Sonic
replied, "That guy has creep written all over him. You’d be better off
with
anyone but Butt-nik."
Alison
shrugged, "He’s all I got for now.. well, except Snively."
"You
hanging out with Snively?" Sonic asked.
"Well..
I flipped a coin and I lost is why."
Sonic
chuckled in response. "What’d you say your name was?"
"Didn’t.
It’s Alison."
"Cool."
They shook hands. "But if you really wanna find your way home, I suggest
leaving
Bogus City and going it alone."
"But,
I have to help out that peach echidna first. I promised her."
Sally
spoke this time, "If we see any echidnas in trouble, we’ll let you
know."
"Thanks."
She handed Sally her computer, "You can have Nicole back now."
"And
for saving Sonic’s life, we won’t destroy the factor."
"Oh,
sweet! But before you go, if you don’t mind my asking, Bunnie, what
happened
to you?"
"You
mean you haven’t seen Butt-nik’s Roboticiser?"
Alison
shook her head, "No."
"It’ll
turn ya inta a mindless robot." Bunnie explained. "What it almost did
tah
me
befo’e Ah was rescued."
"Are
you kidding me?" Alison exclaimed.
They
all shook their heads.
"But
Dr. Robotnik said he got his robotic arm from Sonic."
Sonic
replied, "He did. I knocked him into the Roboticiser a long time ago but
it only
got his arm."
"Man,
and I thought all those robots I saw were just made from some factory."
She
remembered something Robotnik once told her about where they hide out.
"So,
you
guys live in a place called Tree-hole or something?"
"It’s
called Knothole." Sally explained.
What
Alison didn’t know, was that Snively watched her from a distance. "Oh,
this
is
great. When Dr. Robotnik hears about this, he’ll at the least roboticise
her."
He rubbed his hands together, "This is gonna be so great." He then
noticed
one of
Robotnik’s surveillance orbs hover by him. "Perfect!" He ran in front
of
it and
called to it, "Sir! Sir! You have to see this. Alison is conversing with
the
hedgehog!" He pointed off in the distance where she stood talking to
Sonic,
Bunnie
and Sally.
"..so,
then Snively gets like all totally freaked out and tries to strangle me.
But I
kicked him in the balls." Alison explained.
Sonic
began to laugh, "Man, that is awesome!" He gave her a thumbs up sign.
BEEEOOO!
BEEEEOOOOO! BEEEEOOOO! Sirens blared from behind them.
Alison
turned around and saw the SWaTBots in red hover units coming toward them
at
great speed, "Uh-oh! SWaTBots!"
"Time
for us to jam!" Sonic exclaimed. He took Sally and Bunnie’s arm, then
turned
to Alison and said, "Catch ya later, Al!" He took off in a cloud of
dust
with
his friends, and Alison waved good-bye to them but before she could put her
hand
down, someone seized her arm, "Hey!" Then, other arm as well. It was
the
SWaTBots!
"Shit!" She exclaimed when she realized who’d just take a hold of
her.
The
SWaTBots lifted her off the ground and flew her off to the main building.
Before
Alison knew it, she stood in Robotnik’s chamber with the SWaTBots
hovering
by her side. Robotnik turned his chair around so he was facing her and
she
could see the wrath in his eyes. Alison could feel herself filling with fear
and
couldn’t control her shaking. Robotnik slowly walked over to her and she
continued
to tremble and when he came up to her, he just glared at her for a
while
trying to drag out the suspense. Finally he spoke in a calm voice,
"Alison?"
Still
quivering, she respond with, "S-sir-r?"
"Do
you want to tell me why you were conversing with Soinc?"
Alison
felt too afraid to answer him and just ended up staring up at him with
great
fear in her eyes.
"Answer
me!" He bellowed. "NOW!"
She
heard snickering by someone to her left and turned and looked at who was
there.
It was no surprise that Snively stood there with an evil, yet very
satisfied,
smile on his face.
"Don’t
look at him!" Robotnik yelled at Alison.
Alison
knew Snively had done this to her and, despite the love she felt for him
within,
decided she’d teach him a lesson.
"You
have exactly five seconds to answer me before I.."
Alison
interrupted him, "Well, Sir, you see, it was actually all part of my
plan."
She babbled.
"What
plan?" Robotnik asked sound less angry than before.
Now
Alison really had to think fast, "Well.. my plan.. you see.. I..
was.."
Finally
something came to her, "I was planning to earn the Freedom Fighter’s
trust
to help bring them down." She looked up at him waiting for a response.
"And
you didn’t inform me because..?"
"I
wanted to surprise you, Sir." Alison looked down as if she was sad.
Robotnik’s
face turned to shock, "You’d do that for me?" He asked in a flattered
voice.
"Well.."
Alison said quickly, "for all of us." Then she decided to add,
"In
fact,
they were just about to tell me where Knothole was.."
"WHAT?!"
Robotnik shrieked.
Alison
gasped in response thinking she’d said something wrong but looked up to
see
Robotnik turn furiously to Snively, "SNIVELY!" He hollered.
Now
Snively was the one who was trembling, "B-but.. Sir,.. she.." He
gulped
knowing
he was in big trouble. He began to sweat and back away from Robotnik
"Do
you realize that if it wasn’t for you, we would know where Knothole is?"
Robotnik
asked in a calm voice.
"I...I..."
Snively sputtered.
Robotnik
reached out for Snively as if he was going to pick him up but before he
could,
Snively fainted onto the ground. "Oh, please." Robotnik declared in
an
annoyed
voice. He turned over to Alison and she shrugged. "I need to be alone
for a
while." He told her, "Take him with you." He pointed to Snively
who was
still
on the ground.
"Oh,
sure." Alison jogged over to Snively, lifted up his arm and walk toward
the
door
dragging Snively with her. She hauled Snively out into the hallway and
propped
him up against a wall. He was still unconscious. She sighed to herself
in
despair, "Why must we fight like this? Why can’t we get along like I want
so
much?"
Kneeling down by him, she reached out and gently stroked his cheek with
the
back of her hand, "You beautiful creature, you." She moved closer to
him and
put her
hands on his shoulders, "If only you knew how I really feel and felt the
same
compassion toward me that I feel for you." She moved her lips close to
his,
"Kiss
me." She moved closer and closer, puckered her lips, closer..
Snively
began to groan and stir; Alison quickly took her hands off him and stood
up
looking down at him.
"Oh,
my head." Snively moaned as he woke up. He then looked up and noticed
Alison
standing there with an innocent smile on her face, "You!" He screamed
in
rage
pointing at her, "You almost got me killed, miscreant!"
Alison
smiled deviously at him, "Look who’s laughing now." She then walked
away
from
him as he glared at her all the way.
"I
really hate that girl." Snively mumbled to himself.
"Sonic,
you know it’s probably a trap."
"What
trap, Sal? She saved my life."
Sonic
and Sally argued as they walked through the great forest.
"It
just seems a bit too convenient that she just happened to be there when you
fell."
"That’s
cause I ran into her."
"Hey
guys!" A familiar voice called from behind. Sonic and Sally turned to see
Rotor,
a purple walrus and an engineer, running up to them. "I heard about what
happened
at Robotropolis. Tell me more about this Alison girl." He adjusted his
tool
belt and red cap as he stood by them.
"Well,
she.." Sally began.
"She
saved my life!" Sonic interrupted excited.
"Sonic.."
Sally began again.
"Wow,
that’s great." Rotor said.
"But
she.." Sally started once again.
"And
she even kicked Snively in the balls once." Sonic interrupted again.
"It
was
awesome!"
"Man,
that’s really something." Rotor put his hands on his hips all ready
admiring
this girl even though he hadn’t seen her.
"SONIC!"
Sally yelled.
Finally,
Sonic looked at her, "Yeah, Sal?"
"Do
you really think we can trust her?"
Rotor
answered her, "Well, she didn’t have to save Sonic’s life."
"That’s
true." Sonic replied.
"I
just think we have to be careful. Robotnik can really be sneaky
sometimes."
"We
can trust her, Sal." Sonic replied, "After all, she is pretty
cute."
Sally
punched him playfully, "Hey!"
Sonic
put his arms around her, "Not as cute as you, Sal."
Sally
giggled in response. "Quick sucking up, Sonic Hedgehog."
Sonic
leaned over and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
"Hey
you guys." Rotor responded, "Get a room."
They
all laughed at Rotor’s remark.
"Alison.
ALISON!!" Snively called while looking for her. Then he mumbled to
himself,
"Where are you, you little flat chested bimbo."
Alison
came running up behind him "YEAH, Snively!" She yelled excitedly.
"ARUGH!!"
Snively startled. After the shock, he stood panting for a second
hanging
onto the wall. He turned to her with an annoyed expression, "Must you
always
be so annoying?"
Alison’s
face narrowed at him, "Must you always be so ugly?"
He
barred his teeth in anger for a second then said, "Robotnik wishes to
speak
with
you."
"But
first I need to ask you something." She replied.
Snively
rolled his eyes and sighed, "What?"
"What’s
up the Roboticiser?"
"What?"
He looked at her funny.
"Well,
what exactly does it do?"
"You
really are stupid." Was his first response. Then, he went on,
"Robotnik use
the
Roboticiser to turn animals into robots so they’ll work for him in his
factories.
That’s pretty much all there is to know."
Alison
filled with shock and horror, "That’s a horrible thing to do to
animals!"
"Well,
why don’t you tell that to Robotnik." Snively sarcastically said.
"I’m
sure
he’d understand."
"Oh,
didn’t you say he wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes,
follow me and I’ll take you there."
As
Snively began walking Alison whispered to herself, "Yes, my sweet
prince."
Snively
turned around, "What did you say?"
Alison
gasped; it surprised her that Snively had heard her, "Um.. I said.. I
said.."
She quickly changed to her angry tone so he wouldn’t be suspicious, "I
said
oh, yes well since.. since when do I listen to you?" She yelled.
Snively
glared at her and said, "If you did, you may actually learn
something."
"Whatever."
Alison obediently followed him.
When
they came to the chamber, Snively opened the doors and put out his arms in
front
of him like a gentleman, "Go ahead."
Now
Alison was confused, "You okay?"
"Yes,
now please go in."
She
couldn’t help but notice the sinister expression he had, but she ignored it
and
went into Robotnik’s chamber anyway. She walked in slowing thinking Snively
had
gotten her into some kind of trouble again. She approached Robotnik’s chair
and
noticed, he had it facing backwards. "He must be really mad if he can’t
look
at
me."
To her
relief and discomfort both at the same time, he turned his chair around
and
looked down upon her. "Hello, my dear, and how are you?" He asked in
a calm
voice.
"He
doesn’t seem angry." She answered with, "I-I’m okay." Then she
also added,
"You
wanted to see me?"
"Yes,
there is something I need to speak to you about." He stood up and noticed
how far
away she was standing, "Don’t stay so far away. Come closer, my
dear."
He held
out his hand to her as if he expected her to take it. Instead she just
walked
up to him, folded her hands, and looked up at him. He put his hand down
and
sighed, "I wanted to speak to you about you being more than just my
lackey."
Again,
Alison asked, "What’s a lackey?"
"It’s
not important." He took a deep breath as if he was going to say something
really
brave, but nothing could have prepared Alison for what he would say next.
He
reached out and took her hand, looked her straight in the eyes and said,
"Alison,
I want you to be my wife."
Completely
filled with shock, Alison began to feel lightheaded and nearly
collapsed
onto the ground. Robotnik gasped and quickly caught her before she hit
the
ground. Alison shook her head as if trying to come to, "What did you just
say?"
she managed to say holding her head.
He
gently pulled her to her feet, "I want you to be my wife." He
repeated.
Alison,
now sure she understood him, protested, "I can’t get married."
Robotnik
acted surprised and looked almost hurt, "What??!?"
"I’m
only eighteen years old and.. well.. I never planed on getting married,
ever."
His
face turned mad, "You will marry me." He ordered.
"But
I don’t want..."
"Silence!"
He yelled at her. "This is what’s good for you."
Alison
felt scared but she sure didn’t want to marry, especially him, "But.. how
can it
be good for me?"
"Together,
you and I will rule this world. I will be king of Mobius," He pointed
to
himself proudly, "and you will be my queen."
"Mobius."
Alison heard that name before and she knew immediately where she’d
heard
it. That peach echidna had mentioned the fate of Mobius was in her hands.
Then,
it all came to her. "The echidna! She must have sent me to Mobius, to save
Mobius!
Robotnik also said ‘rule this world’ and ‘be king of Mobius’! That’s it!
Mobius
is the planet I’m on!" Now she really went into deep though, "What
better
way to
same Mobius than if I’m queen? But I can’t marry Robotnik. He’d probably
destroy
Mobius and roboticise everyone, including the echidnas! On the other
hand..."
"ALISON!"
"AUGH!"
Alison startled at Robotnik’s yelling.
He
sighed and glared at her, "Are you listening?"
She had
to tell the truth, "No, not really."
Robotnik
clenched his fists and bared his teeth as if trying to hold back his
anger,
"I said, doesn’t being queen of Mobius sound nice?"
"Well,
to be perfectly honest.. no." She looked up at him waiting for a
response.
He
yelled, "NO?? What do you mean no??"
"I
mean no!" She replied sternly. "I don’t want to marry or be ruler of
Mobius.
I just
wanna go home."
He growled
for a second, then pointed to her and yelled, "You will marry me,
whether
you want to or not!" He sat back down in his chair.
Alison
sighed. "But.. what’s gonna.. happen to Snively?" She asked in a
small
voice
trying best not to show how she cared for Snively.
"Snively?"
He repeated. "Who cares?"
"I...
don’t.. but I was just wondering." She looked down at the ground.
There
was silence but Robotnik broke it by saying, "I’ve all ready started
planning
our wedding. The team I put together should have everything done by the
end of
next week."
"That
soon??!" She freaked.
"Is
there something wrong with that?" He asked in his usual angry tone.
Alison
sighed and shook her head knowing it would do no use to say anything,
"No,
Sir." She sadly turned around and headed for the door. She took one last
look at
him trying to hold her tears back, then left the chamber.
After
she stepped outside and closed the door, she could hold back no more and
quietly
began to sob.
"Well,
well." Someone said from behind her. Alison turned and saw Snively behind
her
with a most satisfied expression. He walked by her and remarked, "Look
who’s
laughing
now." He strolled away happily leaving her alone with her crying,
problems
and thoughts.
