Disclaimer: I don't own MST3K, whose format I will be using. I do, however, own my character, Nyperold the Meerkat, Sue, and the robots he makes. If you wish to use any of them in your own work, ask me so I can help them stay in character, and credit me. It's the nice thing to do. :) The concept of Someone... ask about it on NR's Messageboards. I'm sure they'll be glad to tell you. :) Also, I don't own the fic below. I'm MiSTing it with permission from The Outcasts, a.k.a. Blaze (a.k.a. Negative Angel). All works referenced are the property of their respective owners. No money is being made from this work. Enjoy!
(It's a good day on NetRaptor's Messageboards. People are discussing various things and making and using in-jokes, and everybody is happy most of the time. But one lone peacock is NOT. He is Someone, and he is OFFENDED.)
Someone: I can't STAND all these posters, spouting their offensive ideas and doing offensive things! But what'll I do about it? I know! I'll kidnap a random fancharacter and hold her/him for ransom... her/his freedom for control of the Messageboards! MUWHAHAHAHA! Now... who'll I take? (He spots a blue meerkat, almost 24, wearing nothing but shoes, watching a younger orange meerkat, around 7, with an orange bow on her head, a yellow t-shirt with a purple flower on it, purple shorts, and orange sneakers.) That's who I'll take. (He grins, and pushes a button. A beam shoots out. Nyperold disappears.)
Sue: (screams, and runs crying for the nearest familiar regular)
(Meanwhile, in a very secure building in an unknown location, Nyperold appears. He finds himself in a room with a viewscreen. On the viewscreen is a peacock, grinning sinisterly.)
Nyperold: SOMEONE!
Someone: MUWHAHAHAHA! 'Welcome to my parlor,' said the spider to the fly.
Nyperold: What am I doing here?
Someone: Have you heard of Mystery Science Theater 3000?
Nyperold: (nods)
Someone: Have you read the MST of Times of Chaos?
Nyperold: As much as has been put up... great stuff.
Someone: Well then, you're going to have an opportunity to create your own 'great stuff'. It'll be more like the ToC MiST in this case; the original showed monstrously bad movies, but you'll be reading frightfully bad fanfiction. In fact, this first one is so bad, the author revamped it! MUWHAHAHAHA!
Nyperold (thinking) The original? The original! (speaking) Ummm, that's great... say, before we start, can I have some time to, you know, get my bearings?
Someone: I'm feeling generous today, so yes, you MAY. But don't try to escape; there's no way out. And don't take too long, or I'll be REALLY OFFENDED.
(Nyperold quickly locates a room with many spare parts. Noises of construction, followed by a series of beeps and boops, emanates from the room.)
Someone: Hey, just WHAT do you think you're DOING in there?!?
(Nyperold comes out with two robots, one resembling a traffic light... sort of. Where the red light would've gone, there is an LED face. In the middle is a speaker unit. The green light area houses small arms, complete with pincers. The whole unit is mounted on a small, but effective, hovercraft. The other robot runs on treads, but is surprisingly fast and maneuverable. Apart from that, it looks very much like a turtle.)
Nyperold: Well, Someone, you mentioned the original series; I merely took a cue from Joel and built my own pair of robots. The traffic light-ish one is Tiff, and the turtlesque one is Box.
Someone: You realize I'll have to scan them for security concerns.
Nyperold: (nods)
Someone: (scanning the droids) Ah, probability of escape using these robots: less than one-tenth of one percent. Excellent.
Nyperold: So, they're allowed?
Someone: As I said, I'm feeling generous, so yes, they're allowed. HOWEVER, if they rise above one percent, I will ZAP them to SCRAP METAL!
Nyperold: Fair enough. But why am I being held, anyway?
Someone: Simple. I hate your messageboard's general freedom of speech! Most of the ideas I see being presented there OFFEND me! I'm holding you until NetRaptor turns control of the board over to me, SOMEONE! I'll abolish all speech except that which I like! No more shall I just have to put up with offensive remarks; I'll simply delete them! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nyperold: Uh huh. And just how will they know that I'm captive and that you're who did it?
Someone: I've sent an email to NetRaptor. "I've taken Nyperold captive. He will be held and forced to MiST until you give in to my demands. Here's what I want: complete control of Netraptor's Messageboards! Don't try to rescue him; it's impossible. Offended, Someone"
Nyperold: Hmm. A little egotistical about our structures, aren't we?
Someone: Oh, hush up. You're not out yet, are you? Anyway, it's time for your first fic! See you later!
(Someone pushes a button, and the three disappear from that room, appearing in a theater-like setting, but with only one seat. Nyperold sits in the seat, while the robots pull up on either side.)
Tiff: I wonder what our first fic will be...
Box: As do I...
Nyperold: Same here...
Metamorphosis-
Box: (as the transmogrification machine) METAMORPHOSIS COMPLETE.
Tiff: (as Kryten) Oh my. I'm human.
A Sonic the Hedgehog Fanfiction written by Blaze A.K.A Negative Angel.
Nyperold: GOODNESS that name sounds familiar. ... The OUTCASTS! She wrote this?
Author's note:
Nyperold: (hums a middle C)
Box: (hums an E)
Tiff: (hums a G)
Hey, all. This is Blaze. Just wanted to let you know that this is the VERY first time I've written a fanfic, and even though I've read enough fanfics to know what to do, I don't.
Nyperold and Tiff: (maintain their notes)
Box: (drops to a D#)
I've had
Box: A frontal lobotomy...
Nyperold: (to Box) Hey, this is a friend. Be nice.
this idea at the back of my head
Tiff: (giggling) which explains why the lobotomy didn't remove it!
Nyperold: Tiff...
Tiff: Oh. Right. Friend. Sorry.
for _years_ now, and I finally decided to get it down on paper...screen...whatever, so if it doesn't make sense I apologize in advance.
Nyperold: Hey, I've read Dr. Thinker's stuff, so this should be cake.
Tiff: How did you stand it?
Nyperold: Gamemaster Anthony made it bearable by MSTing it.
Box: You understood it?!?
Nyperold: Hey, I said it was bearable, not comprehensible.
Box: Anthony, huh? Isn't he an acc--
Nyperold: NO, and DON'T SAY IT. He's a computer geek.
Box: But--
Nyperold: NO.
I'm more of an artist
Tiff: I hope she's not a pop artist, like (shudder) Britney.
Nyperold: Ack. Let me assure you, that is NOT the case.
than a storyteller, but people keep telling me that I'm good at it, so I decided to let you people in the cyberworld be the judge (Please don't hurt me). If I get a positive response about this story, I may write a sequel to it (Even if I don't, I'm still gonna write it, so NYAH!!) Anyway, enough with the ranting and raving, on with the show. (I hate notepad!)
Bob: She's writing a whole story on a notepad?
Nyperold: No, she's writing in Notepad. And if her stories are really long, I can see where she's coming from.
One more quick note,
ALL: LA!
(sorry ^_^;) my stories don't follow the SatAM shows, or the Archie Comics.
Nyperold: A shame. That Jughead is such a crack-up!
And don't worry,
Nyperold: (a la Bobby McFerrin) ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, be happy.
they don't follow the Fleetway comics either (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Tiff: Yeah, there's certainly nothing wrong with not following the Fleetway Comics, especially since I'm not, either!
but I may use some references from them.
Box: (as librarian) I'm sorry, Miss Outcasts, but reference materials may not be checked out from this library.
Tiff: (as Outcasts) FINE, YUO!
Nyperold: Heh. You do that *too* well.
In this story, Sonic's 15, Sally's 15, Bunnie's 14, Rotor's 16, Antoine's 18 and
Nyperold: Blake's 7.
(Sparking is seen. Nyperold looks over to see what it is.)
Nyperold: Oh, it's just the Obscure-O-Meter.

Box: Gotta dash!
Nyperold: Ohhhh, no. If I'm not going anywhere, you're certainly not.
Snively
Tiff: ...had captured Nell again, and had tied her to a railroad track.
Nyperold: ... That's Snidely, Tiff.
swirled the contents inside the large test-tube by twisting his wrist in a circular motion.
Tiff: (as Snively) OUCH! I'd better get Worker's Comp for this...
After a while he stopped, examined the contents, then began swirling the contents again.
Box: Unfortunately for him, it was nitroglycerine, and it exploded, destroying Robotnik's palace, freeing hordes of oppressed Mobians, the end.
Nyperold: No "the end" jokes yet, please; we're barely into the story.
Dr. Robotnik had asked Snively to do the strangest thing. Dr. Robotnik has asked him to
Box: ...dance the watusi in a bacon-scented cow costume while standing in a piranha-infested stream while singing "Babaloooo".
Nyperold: Uh, probably not *that* strange...
Box: Then it's hardly the strangest thing, is it?
Nyperold: I... suppose not...
Tiff: OOC alert! Robotnik is NOT the type to just *ask* Snively to do anything. He more than likely demanded it of him.
create a serum that contained the DNAs of a jungle
Nyperold: ...X, which he will stick his head into once created.
Tiff: But X isn't a jungle creature...
cat and of an Overlander, which Robotnik had provided Snively with from what he called 'a very reliable source.' Once again, Snively stopped swirling the test-tube, examined the contents, then flicked the tube with his thumb and forefinger. Satisfied, he placed the test-tube into a small rack and walked over to a
Box: ...large crank. Snively was in the mood for some medieval torture, and the fact that this was a test tube did not faze him.
computer. After a moment or two of typing, Snively turned to Robotnik and
Nyperold: ...yelled, "STUPID BSODS! Why doncha upgrade from Win 95? And NOT to Win ME, either."
Tiff: A Snively-shaped perforation was made in the wall soon after.
announced that the serum was completed.
"Excellent, Snively." Dr. Robotnik grinned.
"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, but why do you need the serum?" Snively asked.
"I've decided to do a little experiment, involving gene-splicing. Robots are starting to bore me a little lately and
Box: (as Robotnik) ...these puncture wounds are leaving scars.
Nyperold and Tiff: EWWWWWWW!
I wanted to try something new and untested." Robotnik explained. "And who will you be testing it on, Sir?" Snively questioned. Robotnik looked at Snively with a look on his face that told Snively everything. "M-M-M-Me?!" He squeaked. "Don't be ridiculous, Snively. The last thing I want is a mutated you running around the city." Robotnik snapped.
Box: (as Robotnik) I have *got* to practice my looks-that-tell-you-everything.
Nyperold: Funny, I thought he snapped a loooong time before that...
Snively breathed
Nyperold: ...poison! Nyperold was infected for 20 damage! Nyperold was poisoned!
(The Obscure-o-meter arcs visibly and audibly.)
Box: Yer gonna break that thing with your Murkon's Refuge references, you know that?
a sigh or relief. "Then who, Sir?"
"Who else, Snively, but the hedgehog?"
"The hedgehog?!"
"Yes, the hedgehog would be perfect for this experiment. We will be able to use his improved skills to our advantage."
"Wouldn't it be easier to just robotize him, Sir?"
"The Freedom Fighters would find some way to derobotize him, Snively, if we do this to him, it'll be for keeps."
Tiff: But I thought we were playing for funsies!
"And how will we control him, Sir?" Snively inquired. Robotnik responded by pulling out a small bottle
Box: ...of rum.
Nyperold: Naw, it probably won't be that innocuous.
filled with a strange blue liquid from his cape. "This is a mind controlling serum, not as reliable as a mind controlling device, but it'll do."
"The big oaf is suddenly on a budget, I bet." Snively thought to himself. Robotnik continued to explain his plan. "If the experiment is successful, the hedgehog's skills will be improved and will continue to improve over time. We'll control him with the serum, and no matter what I tell him to do he'll do it without a second thought. He'll be able to round up Freedom Fighters faster than a robot. And he'll be more dangerous than a robot." Robotnik replaced the vile
Tiff: How vile! A vial of vile--
Nyperold: Tiff...
inside his cape and pulled out a small gun.
Nyperold: (as generic Bond main villain) And now that you know my secret plan... goodbye, Mr. Bond.
He then took the test-tube and placed it inside a small compartment in the gun. "Now, all we need is the
Tiff: (singing) ...love, loooooove love...
hedgehog..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Has anyone seen Sonic?" Sally called out.
Box: (as random FF) No, of course not. He's been invisible all his life!
It was a busy day for the Freedom Fighters. They were preparing for a night raid
Tiff: RAAAAAAAID! *boom*
in Robotropolis, and Sally had called a meeting in the War Room.
Nyperold: Or is that War Drobe in Spare Oom?
Bunnie Rabbot,
Box: (as the abominable snowman) OHHHHHHHH, my OWWWN little bunny rabbit! I will name him George, and--
Tiff: (as Bunnie) Ah'm a gal, ya big lump-a snow!
Rotor Walrus, Antoine D'Coolette, Mile
Nyperold: -s...
"Tails" Prower and Princess Sally Acorn, leader of the Knothole Freedom Fighters were all there. All except a certain blue hedgehog named Sonic.
Tiff: He wasn't in the list, anyway...
"Has anyone seen Sonic?" Sally called out again. Everyone stopped talking among themselves and shook their heads in reply. Sally sighed, sweeping her forelock out of her eyes
Nyperold: ...thus accidentally poking herself in the eye with the broom bristles.
in frustration. "Where is he?"
"Have ya checked the lake?" Bunnie asked.
Tiff: (as Sally) No, I left it blue. Why?
"I'll go check, Sal." Tails offered. Sally shook her head. "No, I'll check. I want to have a word with him." she said as she left the hut.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Box: Hey look! It's Sonic!
"Sonic! Sonic!" Sally yelled out, "Where are you?" As she approached the lake, she saw the familiar blue figure, stretched out and asleep in the midday sun. Sally rolled her eyes and sat down next to Sonic's head. She then bent down to whisper in Sonic's ear. "Sonic...Sooonic..." Sonic's ear twitched.
"Sooonic..." Sally whispered again. Sonic's ear twitched again, then he scratched behind his ear. Sally finally lost her patience.
"SONIC!" she yelled into his ear. Sonic cried out in surprise and grabbed his ear in agony. "Ahh, my ear! I'm deaf!" Sonic cried out.
"Sonic, do you realize what time it is?" Sally demanded.
"WHAT?! I can't hear you, someone decided to yell in my ear and now I've gone deaf!"
Sonic protested. Sally grabbed his ear and pulled it. Again, Sonic cried out.
"Sonic, there is a meeting on now, for the raid tonight. Remember?"
"Meeting? Oh, the meeting. Oh..umm..well..um..I lost track of time?" Sonic stuttered.
Box: (as Sonic) Its tracking collar must've slipped off...
"Before or after you fell asleep?" Sally asked.
"I'm pretty sure it was after." Sonic answered cockily. "Can ya leggo of my ear, I kinda need it." Sally let go of his ear. "Well, we kinda need you tonight, so you coming to the meeting?" Sally asked. Sonic rubbed his ear. "Aww, do I haveta?" Sonic whined. Sally grabbed his ear and pulled him up to his feet. "Yes, you do."
"OW!! I'm coming! I'm coming already! Quit it with the ear already!" Sonic hollered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rotor looked over a pile of junk, looking for SWATbots through a pair of infrared goggles. When he was sure that there were none, he slid down the junk pile and
Box: ...promptly cut himself in many places on the way down.
ran up to Sonic and Sally to tell them that it was all clear.
"All right. We all know what to do?" Sally asked.
"Yep. I create a diversion while you and Rote go in a low the SWATbot factory sky high.
Nyperold: (as Robotnik as Yosemite Sam) Well whaddya know! I got a factory in the sky!
Tiff: If it's going to be sky high, how then is it low?
Box: I'm thinking that should be "and blow".
Sonic said. Sally nodded. "OK, let's do it to it, guys." The trio did the Knothole Freedom Fighter Handshake before going their separate ways.
"Good luck, Sonic." Rotor called to Sonic.
"Back atcha, guys." Sonic called back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir, the hedgehog has been spotted in Sector 5K." Snively announced.
"Send all units to Sector 5K, Snively. I want the hedgehog captured alive." Robotnik ordered.
"Yes, sir. All units report to Sector 5K, Priority One, Hedgehog alert."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Priority One, Hedgehog alert."
Sonic turned around and saw about twenty SWATbots surrounding him. Sonic grinned. "Sorry, boltbrains, but you know the drill.
Nyperold: (as Sonic) Now it's time to meet the buzz saw!
Ya gotta catch me first." And with that, he revved up his legs and sped off. Sonic looked over his shoulder and saw the SWATbots not far behind. "Time for a little fun." Sonic thought to himself. He raced around the corner, planning on turning around and buzz sawing
Nyperold: ! I'm not a psionic!¹
Tiff: *snickering* (in a fake Jamaican accent) Shar ya aren't, Miss Cleo!
straight through the perusing SWATbots,
Box: Perusing Popular Mechanics, I assume.
Nyperold: Nah, some comic books, more likely.
only to run into more SWATbots that were waiting for him around the corner.
"Whoa!" Sonic yelled, skidding to a halt and running back around the corner. A laser beam shot through the air and over Sonic's head. More shots followed after that, some just missing the hedgehog.
"Man, these guys are really out to get me." Sonic observed.
Box: (as Sonic) All the other times, they've been so friendly and cordial. No wait, that was just the one time, when Y2K hit.
Nyperold: That was just a "What if?", Box.
Sonic decided to stick to his previous plan and raced around the corner. He then went into a Sonic Spin and sliced through half of the SWATbots. The others continued the chase. After running for a while, Sonic did the same thing, this time the attack left two SWATbots standing. Sonic grinned and once again went into a Sonic Spin, destroying the last two SWATbots. Sonic landed running. He looked back at the scrap heap and gave out a short laugh. He then turned around, just in time to see himself crash into the wall. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
Box: Rule #1 When Employing High Speeds: WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiff: (mimics EKG meter)
Nyperold: Clear!
Box: (noise like paddles)
Nyperold: I think we've lost him...
"Ohhh, did anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" Sonic moaned.
Box: (as Sonic) I lost a bunch of rings, and didn't get them back in time...
He could feel blood trickling down the side of his face from the large cut on his forehead. After a pain throbbing moment, he tried to sit up only to find that he was being held down to a large metal table by leather straps across his upper torso, arms and legs. He started to struggle, hoping that he'll
Box: OWWW!
Nyperold: Box? What is it?
Box: Hit by a stray helping verb...
be able to loosen the straps but to no avail.
"Ahh, I see you have finally woken up, hedgehog." a voice said. A large figure stepped out of the shadows and loomed over Sonic.
Nyperold: Appropriate, since the Eggman has a warped mind...
"What are you up to, Robuttnik?" Sonic demanded. Robotnik only grinned as he pulled out the gun with the serum from his cape. "Why, hedgehog. I am not up to anything. I just want to give you a tiny, tiny shot." Robotnik said calmly.
"No, thanks. I already had one." Sonic snapped sharply.
"Oh, my dear boy, you have very little choice." Robotnik retorted. Using his fingers, Robotnik parted a small patch of fur on Sonic's side to reveal the skin underneath, then pressed the small barrel of the gun directly onto the skin and pulled the trigger. Sonic cried out in pain, breathing sharply through his teeth. Robotnik then pulled out the vile of the mind controlling liquid from his cape.
Box: How vile.
Nyperold: Didn't we already do that joke?
Box: Yeah, but it never gets old.
"Say 'Ah', rodent." Robotnik cooed.
"Make me, blubberbutt." Sonic sneered. Robotnik responded by grabbing Sonic's nose, making Sonic open his mouth so that he could breathe. Robotnik took this opportunity to pour the liquid into the hedgehog's mouth. He forced Sonic's mouth closed, which in turn caused Sonic to swallow the liquid. Robotnik stepped back and waited for the liquid to take effect. After a minute or two, Sonic's eyes suddenly glazed over and rolled back into his head.
"When the mutation begins, report back to me." Robotnik told the unconscious hedgehog. "SWATbot unit #03579, take the prisoner to holding cell D4. The Freedom Fighters will come for the hedgehog, I know they will."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sally landed on the haystack as she flew out of the secret entrance to Knothole Village.
Shortly after, Rotor landed next to her. Bunnie, Antoine and Tails ran up to them.
"How's it go, Sally-girl?" Bunnie asked. Sally smiled. "It was successful, we destroyed three SWATbot factories without a glitch."
Nyperold: A shame, too. I'd love for him to eat Robotnik.
Rotor stood up and shook the hay out of his hat. "Thanks to Sonic we didn't have any trouble with the security."
"By the way, where is Sonic? He's always the first one here." Sally asked.
"He 'azen't shown up yet, my prinzess." Antoine replied. Sally paled at that answer.
"Ah'm shore he's all right, Sally-girl. He probably just went to see his Uncle Chuck." Bunnie suggested. Sally shook her head. "He would have told me if he was." Then an awful thought crossed her mind. "What if Robotnik got him?"
"I seriously doubt it, Sally." Rotor answered.
"Well, I'm going back for him, he could be in trouble or injured." Sally said, determination in her voice.
"You're not going alone, I'm coming with you." Rotor called out.
"Fine, the rest of you stay here in case he comes back before us. Let's go, Rotor."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So he hasn't come here at all?" Sally asked.
"I'm afraid not, Sally. I'm sorry." Uncle Chuck answered, shaking his head. Now Sally was really worried.
"Maybe Robotnik is holding him somewhere." Rotor suggested. Uncle Chuck turned and began typing on his computer. "Keep your fingers crossed that he hasn't been robotized."
Nyperold: In the crossing of the fingers, there is great power, for it wardeth off cooties.
The computer beeped once when it found Sonic's location.
"Ah, ha! There he is. Holding cell D4. Funny, there are only two SWATbots guarding him."
"Only two? That's a bit odd," Sally mumbled. "Why didn't Robotnik robotize him yet?"
"Maybe he doesn't know that Sonic has been captured." Rotor suggested.
"Well, we better get him before Robotnik finds out." Sally said. "Thank you for your help, Uncle Chuck."
"Anytime, Princess. Good luck you two." Uncle Chuck called out as they left his hide out.
Tiff: ...to dry.
Box: Sally and Rotor are tanners?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nyperold: They promptly ran into the clothesline.
Sally and Rotor looked around the corner, watching the two SWATbots guarding Sonic's cell.
"There they are, just like Uncle Chuck said." Rotor pointed out.
"Let them have it, Rotor." Sally ordered. Rotor reached into his backpack and pulled out a small laser pistol. He aimed the pistol at one of the SWATbots and pulled the trigger. He then shot the second SWATbot. Large arches
Nyperold: Hey, they're at McDonald's!
of electricity extended from the SWAtbots before they exploded, leaving two smoking piles of scrap metal. Sally jumped to her feet and ran up to the cell. "Sonic. Sonic." she hissed. Sonic didn't stir.
Nyperold: As a result, the Kool-Aid was watery at the top, and thick and sweet at the bottom.
Rotor typed in a code into the keypad,
Box: (as Rotor) J U S T I N B A I L E Y - - - - - - - - - - - -...
opening the cell door. Sally walked in quickly and stood over Sonic. "Sonic? Sonic, can you hear me?"
"Man, he doesn't look very well." Rotor whispered. Sally saw that this was true. There was a large cut on his forehead and he was very pale. Sally placed her hand on Sonic's chest and felt his heartbeat. "Sonic, come on, Sonic. Wake up." Sally pleaded. Sonic stirred slightly and moaned. "S..Sal?" Sally smiled and helped Sonic sit up. "Are you OK?" Sonic leaned against the wall and looked at Sally miserably. Sally noticed how vacant and glazed Sonic's eyes looked.
"Do I look OK?" Sonic groaned.
"Can you stand?" Sally asked. Sonic slowly got up to his feet and took a step. His legs collapsed underneath him, but luckily Rotor caught him before he fell. Rotor picked up Sonic in his arms and felt Sonic relax.
"Sonic?" Sally whispered.
"I'm fine, just tired. Don't worry." Sonic whispered back, closing his eyes. Sally cupped her hand around Sonic's face. "Get some rest, we'll take you back to Knothole." Sonic only nodded tiredly.
"Let's go, Rotor."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How is he, doctor? Will he be all right?" Sally asked. She was in Sonic's hut watching as the doctor examined Sonic.
"He'll be just fine. All he needs is rest." the doctor announced once he finished examining Sonic. Sally let out a sigh of relief. "So there's nothing wrong with him?"
"Besides the cut on his forehead and his fatigue, nothing. We better let him rest now so that he'll recover quicker." Sally nodded. Her and the doctor left Sonic's hut, closing the door behind them.
Box: So basically, this doctor fellow completely missed the gene-splicing substance, including the pinhole in the arm, AND the mind control serum?
Nyperold: So it seems.
Tiff: Her... what... and the doctor left his hut?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, everyone in Knothole Village was awoken by a blood chilling scream of pain coming from Sonic's hut. A large crowd had formed around his hut when Sally came running to see what was happening. When Sally finally pushed her way through the crowd, she frantically knocked on Sonic's door. "Sonic! Sonic! What's going on?!" She tried to open the door, only to find that Sonic had locked it. "Sonic! Open the door!" she yelled out. Bunnie walked up to Sally and pushed her aside gently. "Allow me, Sal." she said before punching the door down with her robotic fist. Bunnie walked into the room, looking for Sonic. She found him curled up in one of the corners, back turned to her.
"Sugah-hog, are you OK?" Bunnie asked, reaching out to him with her normal hand. Sonic slapped it away.
"Sugah-hog, why th' heck didja do that for?" Bunnie exclaimed. Sonic responded by facing her, eyes blazing a pure white, and growling menacingly. Bunnie stepped back in shock, eyes wide with fear. Sonic stood up and started stalking towards her, before he held his head in pain. Sonic closed his eyes and threw his head back, crying out in pain. His teeth grew out, canine teeth becoming razor sharp. Sonic then doubled over and his quills grew out longer, his fur went from the familiar cool blue to a deep dark indigo. His arms bulged out starting from his shoulders and traveled down his arm, finally ending at his hands where razor sharp claws burst out from his fingertips, ripping his gloves.
Box: It's Teen Wolf!
Nyperold: Not quite...
When this was over, Sonic once again threw back his head and let out a blood chilling roar, that sounded like a black panther's. Sonic eyes snapped opened, still a pure white
Tiff: So basically, they went from glazed to powdered.
and glaring straight at Bunnie. Bunnie started slowly backing away from Sonic, scared from what she had witnessed. Sonic again started stalking towards her, eyes narrowed to slits and growling deeply from his throat. Then, he attacked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sally and the other villagers were oblivious to what had happened to Sonic,
Box: Let's recap. Sonic lets out this blood-curdling scream. The hut has a large crowd around it. Bunnie KNOCKS DOWN the door. Sonic growls menacingly at some point, soon followed by a cry of pain. A transformation later, he's growling deeply. All this, and none of the crowd was looking in to see what in cobalt blue blazes is going on?
Nyperold: So it seems...
or what was going to happen next. What happened next shocked Sally and the villagers surrounding Sonic's hut.
Nyperold: A big white balloon roared, then bounced along, emitting a weird whistling noise. It entered the hut.
Box: KA-POW! It was promptly deflated by Sonic's newly acquired fangs and sharp claws.
Tiff: Nyp, you watch too much of The Prisoner.
Bunnie ran out of Sonic's hut
Tiff: (as Bunnie, running a toy store) Ah'm sorry, sugah, we just ran outta Sonic's hut. Woulja lahk Tails's hut instay-ed?
Box: (as child) *wails* NOOOOOOO! SOOONIIIIC!
and was shortly followed by Sonic himself. Sonic jumped and tackled Bunnie to the ground, holding her by her shoulders. Bunnie kicked Sonic off with her foot and tried to hold Sonic down. Sonic kicked Bunnie in her stomach, temporarily knocking the wind out of her. Sonic raised his fists over his head and brought them down towards Bunnie, but Bunnie grabbed Sonic's fists and tried to pushed Sonic to the ground. Sonic tensed up his body and pushed Bunnie back, sneering at her. Meanwhile, Sally and the villagers watched the conflict between the two Freedom Fighters in shock, Sally being the most shocked. She knew that Sonic, out of all people, would never attack any of the other Freedom Fighters no matter what, especially Bunnie because he knew that Bunnie was a lot stronger than him because of her robotic parts and could do a lot of damage to his person.
(all talk at once)
Nyperold: Waitaminute! Are we all quoting Foghorn Leghorn?
The Bots: Uhhh... yes.
Nyperold: Okay. Let's mark it done and move on.
The fact that Sonic was actually attacking Bunnie was one reason she was shocked, the other reason Sally was shocked was the fact that Sonic was overpowering Bunnie, despite the fact that Bunnie had her robotic parts as a strong defense. Bunnie dealt a blow to Sonic's jaw, sending him sprawling backwards. Sonic staggered back slightly, holding his jaw gingerly and glaring coldly at Bunnie. Sonic started circling slowly around Bunnie, now sharp teeth bared in a growl.
Box: Now fanfic being read in a MST.
Bunnie too was circling, keeping Sonic in her sight so that he wouldn't be able to attack her from behind. Sonic then jumped, once again tackling Bunnie to the ground. A wrestling match began between the two fighters. Bunnie managed to pin Sonic to the ground by his legs and arms and held him by his quills. Sonic snarled violently and started to struggle. Sally snapped out of the trance that seemed to hold all those there witnessing the fight. She ran up to where Bunnie had Sonic pinned down to the ground, then slowed to a cautious walk when she neared the struggling Sonic. Sonic looked up at Sally with a menacing look, and started to struggle more violently. Then, he suddenly stopped and went limp under Bunnie's grasp. Bunnie gasped in shock and instantly got off Sonic. "Oh mah stars, I killed him."
Box: She is talking to gasses that are constantly exploding due to being highly compressed? That does not compute.
Nyperold: Heh. No kidding.
Sally slowly placed a hand on Sonic's shoulder and shook him gently. "Sonic. Are you O..."
Nyperold: (as Sonic) No, I'm Q. Note the tail.
Sally was cut of
Tiff: You can get a cut of squirrel/chipmunk?
Nyperold: (as Boris) Of course, dahlink. If you pay right price.
when Sonic suddenly snapped at Sally's hand, almost biting it, and stood up abruptly. Sonic then snorted at both Bunnie and Sally, turned on his heel,
Box: He wanted his shoes to light up as he ran.
and sped off heading for Robotropolis. Sally quickly ran into her hut,
Nyperold: Thereafter, she was called "Accordion-Nose" behind her back.
wrote a note and inserted it into one of the mechanical carrier pigeons and sent it to Uncle Chuck. She then ran out and called to the Freedom Fighters. "Come on, we have to find him before Robotnik gets to him." ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nyperold: Sonic IS Billy from Family Circus!
Sonic ran through the dark streets of Robotropolis, heading straight for the Robotnik's Command Center.
Box: Is it really "The Robotnik", like "The Donald"?
Nyperold: Could be. He does have an ego problem...
When he reached the Command Center, he entered without fear or a second thought. After all, he knew that Robotnik was expecting him anytime soon. Sonic found the Throne room without a problem and waited. After a moment or two, Robotnik walked in, an evil grin on his face. Snively soon followed.
"Snively, scan his DNA. Make sure that it is stable." Robotnik ordered. Snively pulled out a small scanner from his pocket and scanned the hedgehog. "The hedgehog DNA has been successfully spliced, Sir. The experiment was a success."
"Excellent, Snively." Robotnik said, walking up to the hedgehog. The hedgehog simply looked up at Robotnik, awaiting his orders.
Box: (as Robotnik) I'll have the lardburger, some cholester-fries, and a Diet Coke. And super-size it!
Nyperold: (as Sonic as a waiter at an upscale restaurant) Veddy good, suh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nyperold: (as Sonic the waiter) And here is your bill, suh. Gratuity has been included.
Box: (as Eggman) 1 million dollars for that meal?!?
Sally, Bunnie, and Rotor hid around a corner of a building, looking for any guards before proceeding to the Throne Room. They had guessed that Sonic would have headed there first. When they reached the Throne Room, they saw Sonic standing in the middle of the room just looking at them.
"Sonic, what the heck is going on?" Sally questioned.
"Oh, nothing, my dear Princess. I'm just testing out a theory." A voice responded to Sally's question. A large figure stepped out of the shadows and stood behind Sonic.
"Robotnik. What have you done to Sonic?" Sally exclaimed. Robotnik grinned. "Like I said, I tested out a theory on the hedgehog. And this is the result." he said pointing to Sonic. Sally didn't even notice Sonic's change in appearance until now. As she look Sonic over, her thought's were interrupted by Robotnik's voice.
Nyperold: Let's take it from the top.
Tiff: Is this present tense or past? Next!
Box: Their thought's... what... were interrupted? Next!
Nyperold: So were they all having the same thought?
"Sonic, destroy them." Sonic instantly snarled viciously and jumped Sally. Sally fell to the ground with a gasp of surprise. Sally looked up and saw Sonic raise his hand high over his head, claws extending from his fingertips, before he brought his hand down towards Sally's head. Sally turned to the side, causing Sonic's claws to bury themselves into the metal floor instead. Sonic pulled his claws out of the floor and charged after Sally in one swift movement. Sally then heard something fall onto the floor with a loud 'oof!' Sally turned around and saw Sonic picking himself up and charging towards Bunnie and Rotor. Bunnie extended her robotic arm and grabbed Sonic's arm in a vice-like grip, turned on her heels and threw Sonic against the wall. Sonic hit the wall back-first and landed in a heap on the ground. Again, Sonic picked himself up and shook his head to clear the stars he was seeing.
Nyperold: (whistling 'Arabesque #1' by Claude Debussy)
Sally turned to look at Robotnik
Tiff: But... why?
only to find that he had disappeared. When Sally turned back to the fight, she saw Rotor on the ground holding Sonic by his shoulder and forehead trying to stop Sonic from biting him with his knife-like teeth. Sally ran behind Sonic and, grabbing a fist full of quills, pulled his head back. Sonic yelled out in pain and whipped his hand back to hit Sally. Bunnie caught his hand and yanked him off of Rotor and once again threw him against the wall. Sonic picked himself up slowly and leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Sally cautiously walked up to Sonic. Sonic pulled his fist back, planning on punching Sally, but instead exhaled a deep sigh and fainted. Sally swooped down and rolled Sonic onto his back and checked his pulse. Bunnie and Rotor walked up to Sally to see if Sonic was allright. After she confirmed that he was, Bunnie scooped Sonic up into her arms and headed back for Knothole.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's no traces of any forgein substances in his bloodstream, heartrate and breathing is normal. All he needs is rest so that his body can recover from the stress from the mutation."
Box: This wouldn't be the same doctor that missed it before, would it?
Nyperold: Could be.
Tiff: Forgein? Forging? (thinks a bit, then speaks) Hooray! Sonic will not have to be a metalworker!
"Is there a change that his DNA can become unstable?"
"As long as he isn't under too much pressure, his DNA should stay stable. However, he may now have different reactions to certain substances because of his DNA, we may have to run some tests to see the full effects of the gene splicing."
Sonic was having difficulty hearing exactly what the voices surrounding him were saying. Sometimes they sounded distant, sometimes they sounds unusually loud to him.
Tiff: And sometimes, they messes up the verb tenses of what he heard.
He just wished that they would stop because it added pain to his already overpowering headache...
Sally could see that Sonic was in pain, despite that he was in a supposed deep sleep. She had been talking to the doctor on Sonic's condition after Bunnie had brought Sonic into his hut and laid him down onto his bed. Sally held a finger to her lips and pointed to Sonic. The doctor nodded and followed Sally out of the hut so that they could talk without disturbing Sonic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Sally walked into Sonic's hut to check up on him. She found him curled up in his bed, back facing her. Sally sat next to Sonic on his bed and waited patiently for Sonic to wake up. Sally heard the door open and saw Uncle Chuck walk in.
"How is he doing?" he asked.
"He seems all right. It'll probably take a while for him to adjust to the mutation, though." Sally whispered. Uncle Chuck patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, you know Sonic. He's a surviour."
Box: He is a surveyor?
Tiff: No he's a server. Like Swooh.
Nyperold: He's a survivor. And how'd you know about Swooh?
Tiff: Don't ask me; you programmed me!
"Yeah, Sal. Everything will be cool." a voice said. Sally looked at Sonic to see that he was awake and was propped up on one elbow. Sally smiled. "Hey, you. How do you feel?" Sonic sighed. "Been worse." Sally gently held Sonic's chin and looked closely at his eyes. Instead of the normal circlar pupils Sonic had, his were now slitted, similar to a feline's.
Box: Yeah, a housecat's. Not a jungle cat.
Nyperold: Hmm. Maybe it was fixed in the rewrite.
Sonic's eye colour, which use to be brown, were now amber. Sally also noticed that they seem to reflect some light which stood out in the dimly lit hut.
Nyperold: Okay, I call no more grammar riffs, except when a misspelling of a word actually makes another word.
The bots: Awwww... rats.
"Can you see me all right, Sonic?" She questioned.
"Yeah, perfectly. I haven't gone blind or anything, ya know."
Nyperold: (singing) I can see clearly now, the rain is gone...
Sonic commented, "Can someone explain what the heck happened to me?"
"Robotnik created a serum containing feline and Overlander DNA. He injected it into you and also gave you a mind controlling liquid in hopes that you'll become he's weapon against the Freedom Fighters." Uncle Chuck explained. Sonic bowed his head slightly. "Is..is there a cure?" Sonic asked quietly. Uncle Chuck shook his head regretly. "I'm afraid not, Sonic."
"So I'm stuck like this?" Sonic whispered.
"I'm afraid so. I'm sorry, Sonic." Sally said, wrapping her arms around Sonic. Sonic wrapped his arms around Sally. "It's Ok, like I said before; everything will be cool." Sonic said, trying to convince both Sally and himself.
"Now that his DNA has been altered, there's no telling how Sonic would look like or what could happen to him in the future." Uncle Chuck said.
"How do you mean, Uncle Chuck?" Sally asked.
"Well, he skills may become more stronger than they are now. He might become faster, he's strength could improve as we have already witnessed," he said, refering to the fight Sonic had with Bunnie and the other Freedom Fighters, "it's hard to tell." Sonic listened to what his uncle had to say intently, then finally said "So, in a way, the mutation was more of an improvement?"
(all talk at once)
Nyperold: Tim "The Toolman" Taylor impressions?
The bots: (nod)
Nyperold: Thought so. Mark it!
"Exactly, Sonic. So Robotnik's planned backfired on him." Uncle Chuck said. Sally patted Sonic on his shoulder. Sonic grinned. "See? Everything is already starting to look up."
Nyperold: (whistles Arabesque #1 again)
Box: (sighs) Too much exposure to Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer...
Unknown to Sonic, or anyone else, this was only the beginning of a line of disasters. The End (?)
Nyperold: No, THIS is the beginning of the line.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nyperold: See?
Tiff: Hey, no looking ahead!
Well, what did you think? Did it suck? Did it rock? Could you do better? *Hands you a pen and piece of paper* (well, I'll like to see you create a dang masterpiece).
Nyperold: (hands the pen and paper back) No, no, you can do better. This was bearable, anyway.
Someone: WHAT?!?
Send all comments and suggestions here: ********@*******.***. If you want to send a flame, go ahead. I could use a good laugh nowadays. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Box: Yet another line of disasters...

It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize that you are in a hurry.
Ralph's Observation
Nyperold: Hmm. It appears to be over. Not bad.
Someone: GAH! So that didn't even faze you?
Nyperold: Pfft. Nope.
Someone: Well, that's just great. (presses a button, and Nyperold appears in the main room of the building)
Someone's computer: You've got a new email!
Someone: Hey, it's from NetRaptor. Now we'll see how we're doing on that front... Hmm... "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather just keep control of the messageboards. Besides, we love MSTs, and would like to see what he came up with. It's pry really funny! NR" ... GRAH!
Nyperold: (smirks) Something wrong, Ess-oh?
Someone: DON'T CALL ME THAT! And YES something's wrong! NR turned me down, and... look at you! JUST LOOK AT YOU! Not even fazed from that fic! What am I going to do? *thinks* I know! I think I'll kill two birds with one stone!
(On Someone's viewscreen, there is a bawling orange meerkat. It's the same one from earlier. Someone presses a button, and she disappears, reappearing in the main room.)
Nyperold: Sue?!?
Sue: (still crying) (sniff) N...Nyperold? ... Nyperold! (leaps into his arms, weeping profusely)
Nyperold: Awwwww... (holds her, and comforts her)
Someone: AHAHAHAHAHA! Now you'll crack sooner, and the MBers'll BEG me not to hold her captive any longer!
"Man, these guys are really out to get me." Sonic observed.
¹ I really didn't know that was coming! I can't just pretend I haven't read something; to get the real effect, I only read a little at a time so that I don't contaminate what I say with what comes later. So it was a good guess.
