Sonic

Now back to our regular scheduled RPG

It didn't take long for our brave travelers to leave town and find themselves in a thick forest, filled with monsters. The entire group was being cautious, not knowing what to expect, except for Melissa who seemed to be enjoying herself. No one noticed the small smirk on her face, as she quietly pulled her hand behind her and pulling out a Game Boy Advance from a compartment in the armor strap that connected her chest piece. Once the GBA was in her hand, it became invisible, and while no one was looking, she began to do a few things on it before placing it back into her secrete compartment.

Sonic turned around and looked at Melissa, finding a straight focus face, before stopping. "Do you guys hear that?" asked Sonic.

Rose gave a growl then flew into the air, and tackled Sonic on the head, "Hello! Did your brain shrink in this RPG game? They CAN'T HEAR YOU!" she yelled, which got Ukyou, Shampoo, and Hikeya all confused, while Melissa kept trying not to laugh.

Sonic rubbed his head, "You didn't have to hit me that hard though," he said.

Rose simply placed her tiny hand on her tiny head and shook her head left and right, "What am I going to do," she said.

"Hey Guys," said Kalshion, "I don't mean to interrupt, but I think I hear what Sonic heard too."

"Sonic??" thought Hikeya, "Could this guy be THE Sonic?" She stopped and watched him closer for a moment, "No, it couldn't be, he would never play such a stupid game."

Just then five Killer Ants, which were ants the size of a human, popped out and started an RPG Battle, but of course, you can't have an RPG battle without good old fighting music. So out of the trees, popped out 5.5 Surround Sound Speakers, which began to play "Brave Warriors". Now, it was time for the Ants to make their move, as they possessed higher speed stats.

"What the hell are those," said Emily as the entire group, except for Sonic, Rose and Melissa jumped back shocked.

For Rose and Sonic, they had seen these creators before in another land, but they were still shocked, mostly at the surround sound system. Strangely, Melissa kept a straight face, almost like she was playing poker.

"Acid Spit" said a weird tiny whacked voice coming from one of the ants, just as it spit what looked like a green snot ball at Sonic.

The snot ball hit Sonic, which knocked him back, and lowering his HP 14 points. Before anyone could react, the other four ants had done the same, hitting Ryoga, Ukyou, Shampoo, and Kalshion. Strangely, they had ignored Melissa who was standing close to the front, and in the center.

"Ok, that's it," said Sonic, this time aware that he couldn't talk out loud, "Those ant's are very resistance to physical attacks like blades and punches, so a magic attack should do the trick."

"These aren't any ordinary ants, they might actually be different than what you think," commented Melissa, which freaked out Sonic again.

"Did she hear me?" he thought.

Rose looked at Melissa for a moment before turning to Katarina, "Katarina, do you have any magical attacks like wind or fire attacks?"

Katarina pulled up her attack list, finding a nice fire attack titled "Crematorium: Ash to Ash, Butts to Dust". "OK, I'll try this.... CREAMATORIUM"

A stats window popped up that had "MP: 230" which suddenly changed to "MP: 200" as the sky turned red, and balls of fire slammed into the ground, exploding into pillars of fire. However, when the attack finished and the damage points showed up, each ant had only suffered 45 damage points.

"WHAT?!?" said Rose as her jaw dropped, "That should have worked."

Sonic looked at Melissa who smiled, "Should have listened," she said.

The Ants prepared for another blow when suddenly a roar came from the sky, followed by a huge Gyrocopter flying overhead with Tommy in it.

"Target is painted," he said which activated a computer voice recognition program that opened up a door on the bottom of his Gyrocopter, which release several bombs, which fell on the ants causing 100 points damage each, and winning the battle.

"Hey you numbskull! It was just getting interesting, why did you have to do that!" yelled Melissa a bit upset.

"What's wrong with her?" thought Sonic.

"Don't know, she acts like she wanted us to loose," replied Rose.

"Oh, that isn't it. I just wanted to show off my talents," said Melissa recovering her expression to a poker face.

Sonic just blinked blankly at her, "Something is just not right here," he thought as Tommy landed, with his stereo system up loud with his annoying obnoxious music.

"TURN THAT DAMN THING OFF", yelled Shampoo's voice.

"NO!" yelled Tommy trying to yell over his music.

"Then allow me to do it for you!" yelled Melissa taking her sword, "Rock Splitting Sword!" she yelled as she swung the sword straight down to the ground, generating a windblast.

Tommy tried to block, but being stuck in a wheel chair and all didn't help, as he was blasted into the tree and his CD player, which was hooked up to the stereo system, flew out and broke on the tree. Tommy just stayed flat on the tree for a moment, before he fell, followed by a "KO" status window coming up.

"Impressive," said Ryoga, "Why didn't you attack the ants then?"

"I wanted to see how strong you guys are," replied Melissa.

An hour later

Tommy had came too, and was back in his copter following the gang as they continued their journey, having destroyed 32 ants, using sword techniques from Sonic, and bombs from Tommy. If anyone though was paying attention, they would have noticed Melissa in the back, playing with her GBA again. As she was doing this, she was looking at the Gyrocopter, giving grins. She finally though was satisfied, and placed the GBA up again. Moments later, a loud roar was heard which got everyone's attention.

"Um, what that?" said Ukyou's voice.

Hikeya became a bit happy, "That sounded like a dragon," she said out loud.

"Dragon?" replied Ryoga, "I sure we don't have to fight one of those."

Unfortunately or Fortunately, depending on who's perspective, Tommy didn't hear the group talking, nor the roar, as he had pulled out a spare CD player from his inventory as was now listening to his bad music. If he did hear them, he would have noticed a giant blue dragon fly out from behind him, quickly gaining on him.

Rose Pointed at Tommy and screamed "Oh My God," yelled Rose, "That Dragon is going to attack Tommy!"

"A Dragon attacking someone? That's unheard of," mumbled Hikeya watching as the Blue Dragon began to power up a blast in it's mouth, "WHAT?" she thought seeing this.

Sonic glanced over at Hikeya, having heard for the most part of what she said. But before he could think, Rose screamed again, "Tommy, you MORON! Look behind you!" she said shooting like a bullet and smacking Tommy on the face.

"Ow, What did you do that for?" he asked looking at the small pink glow, which was pointing behind him.

Tommy no sooner than looked behind him when he saw a dragon blast a powerful water colored beam at him, which he was quick enough to evade it, but the after shock of it had caught him, giving his copter 23 points of damage.

"Where the hell did that thing come from?" he yelled as he watched Rose fly down to safety. "Hey, Thanks for nothing you coward!" he yelled just as the Dragon flapped its wings creating a wind current. Luckily for Tommy, the copter was well built, and could take a good beating, but sadly Tommy had forgotten his seatbelt as he was being smacked around as the copter twirled around. Finally his packs of CDs got knocked loose, and flew out the window.

Melissa had been watching this the entire time, and smiled when she saw the CDs fly out. She quickly pulled out her GBA again in secrete and pushed a few buttons. Suddenly the Dragon had changed targets and blasted the CDs with it's beam, completely vaporizing them.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" screamed Tommy as he began to charge at the Dragon. "Computer, Target Acquired, Lock and Fire!" he said as his cannons powered up, forgetting he only had two shots.

The Cannons fired and head straight for the Dragon, which opened it's mouth, and ATE Tommy's attack. After a few moments of chewing, it spited them back up, which slammed into his Gyrocopter, knocking him out of sight into a distant mountain.

"Stupid!" thought Sonic as he watched Tommy fly away.

On the side of the mountain

The copter had slammed into the rock side, but remarkably stayed intact, other then a few dents. Tommy was knocked out of his wheel chair a few meters away, and was trying to get back to his Gyrocopter. When he finally got there, he found the computer system not operational, so he opened the glove compartment to pull out schematics so he could try to repair it. When he turned on the holo-generator, about 1,230 pages of Schematics appeared, 300 of them on the Computer system alone.

"Shit, this will take a while," he said getting to work.

Back with the funny little RPG characters

"Everyone, Prepare to attack at once," yelled Kalshion taking a fighting stance.

"No need," said Melissa who was smiling.

"What do you mean?" asked Shampoo's voice.

Suddenly the Dragon gave what looked like a smile, and flew off from where it came from.

Ryoga just looked with a look equivalent to when you find your Computer didn't work because you didn't plug it into the wall, "That was odd." he said.

"Not really," said Melissa, "It simply didn't like Tommy's music, Dragons have sensitive ears ya know."

Hikeya was staring at the sky now with her jaw hanging at what just happened. Rose finally went over to her, "Why did you think Dragons never attack people?" she asked.

Hikeya just looked around, "It's just what I was taught," she said trying to look innocent.

Rose just looked at Sonic, knowing she was defiantly hiding something, before the group continued down the path. Not soon after, they had come in a fork in the road, and had three choices, straight, left, or right.

"You know, there are 10 dozen ants over the left, 30 frogmen to the right, and straight ahead there is a pack of werewolves," said Melissa as the group decided which path to take, noting each one did end up at the castle.

"How does she know?" asked Sonic.

But Before Rose could ask Melissa responded, "Oh, and I know because I can smell them".

"Assuming you are right, I rather keep fighting those ants," said Kalshion.

So with that, the group went left, finding Melissa to be absolutely correct. Of course, they still had to battle 10 dozen ants, before they made it to a small hut, that had refreshments and supplies. An old man, who identified himself as Nostradamus, was running the hut.

"So where are you off to brave travelers?" he asked looking at the group members after they had freshen up.

"We are off to the Fortress down here to retrieve a key, that will stop this RPG curse," replied Rose.

"Ah I see," said Nostradamus now looking at Melissa, "I fear I must warn you that a traitor is within your group."

"Traitor?" said Ukyou's voice, "Who Traitor?"

"Well, the traitor is..." said Nostradamus as a giant Pineapple fell on his Hut, which KOed him.

"Oh my, where on earth did that giant pineapple come from?" asked Melissa hiding her smile.

Ryoga than jumped back with sweat running down his hair, "OH NO, RUN!" he said pointing to the top of the Pineapple, which had a fuse that was lit and going down.

Everyone attempted to run, but it was pointless. The Pineapple exploded knocking everyone out for a moment. When everyone came too, they found Melissa had came to first, or was it that she was never KOed?

"You guys alright?" asked Melissa helping them up.

"Yea, I guess so," replied the gang in their own ways.

They looked back at the hut, which was no longer a hut, but what looked like a black bird nest, before deciding they better not waste time, and headed off to the Fortress.

Back with Tommy, the handyman

"Ah shit, this last chip is fried beyond repair, and it is vital to the system," he said with his head in a slot on the side of the Gyrocopter.

There were parts all around him, most of them, which were broken, and he had replaced with spare parts he had. Tommy pulled his head out and went over to his bag of spare chips, looking for the correct chip part.

"Lets see, where is TFM-0546," he said to himself, "Ah found it."

No sooner had he pulled out the chip, however, that he found it had been damage and was useless.

"Damnit, where am I going to find a TFM-0546 chip!" he yelled dropping his CD player on the ground which knocked off the cover revealing the inside circuitry. "What? That can't be right!" he said taking a closer look at his CD Player.

Inside, was a TFM-0546 chip, which still was in perfect shape. Tommy looked at his CD Player, then his Gyrocopter, trying to figure out which was more important. This decision Process took about 30 minutes before he finally decided, taking the chip out, and installing it into the Gyrocopter.

With the chip installed, the Gyrocopter sprang to life. Tommy hoped in and took off, but decided to take a detour to the town first, to try to find a CD Player and some CDs. He knew he saw one of those shops while looking around after the RPG curse, and he figured he could get a few replacement CDs fast and easy.
