Sonic Kid – PART 3: The Blue Blur
By SuperSonic Foxx				

I held on to the seed. 'Was it ten times?' I don't remember how many times my friend told me, but he told me that if I collected a hundred cotton seeds, I could make a wish, and if it was true, it would become that way. It was a cute thing to think of, but I never took it seriously. When I first did it in first grade, I wished for a good future. Maybe that wish was a little too much. I'm strong and smart, but doesn't mean I'm liked.

A kid sat by me.
"Hey Coochiemonster."
"Quiet Matt, and get off."

"Matt, get off Emay." The little brat left for the back seat. 'I wish that there was an adventure awaiting me. Nothing but adventure.' The seed flew off. It was cute to think it would come true. "This is your stop Emay."

"See ya." I jumped off the bus and ran o my house. Little did I know that a cotton seed can do more than float and grow.

Chapter One

I was in the forest finally. The trees made it seem like a rainforest, while the mist made it feel like one. It was a majestic place in the morning. I looked at my watch ten till. I walked out, letting the morning mist surround me. Something streaked the sky. I turned to where it landed. 'What is it?' Suddenly, a blue streak came out. I didn't know what to do. It dropped a jewel. I grabbed it, and ran for the blue streak. I might not catch it, but I can try to see where it's going.

Holding onto the jewel, I chased it. I was catching up to it! But how? That thing had to have been going a hundred mile per hour! I ran, hoping it would stop. But it didn't. We passed my stop, the end of the street; my neighborhood altogether!

What ever it was, it finally looked back. It screeched to a stop.
"Why are you following me?"
"Do you think I think that something that bursts from my forest out of nowhere is funny?"
"Well, maybe it's nothing!"
"Oh, really? Then why are you running off?"

"'Cause it's my favorite thing to do." He ran off. I didn't chase him. I knew who he was. He was Sonic the Hedgehog. I ran off to catch the bus. Missing the bus two days before school was out was bad! I got to my stop in time. I plopped onto my seat.

"Hello, Coochie monster."
"Matt, bug off." That guy is such a pest.
"I will if you tell me why you weren't at the bus on time." I could tell him, but he knew I was a big Sonic fan and won't believe me.
"Bill ran off with my homework."
"We don't have homework, do we?"
"Nope. Not that I think of it."

"Well, little Coochie monster has some." I did. Algebra was an eighth grade class, so we worked to the very last day. But knowing my teachers, I'll probably get the class off the last day, but not lab.

But what was Sonic doing here? I don't know how I was able to catch up with him. I mean, racing for a glimpse at the face of the fastest racer when he's running is hard.

Chapter 2

I was in the forest again. I had to find out how Sonic got here. I looked, and only saw nothing. I walked deeper. He probably landed at the back, where the hunter's point was. I took a shortcut. I climbed one of the oaks, until I was in the understory. It was thick with leaves and bugs. I ran from branch to branch, keeping care of my step. I wasn't in a hurry, until I saw what was behind me.

"Unidentified bio-organism. Will robotize at once." 'Robotize? As in, the process of turning a bio-organism to a mind controlled robot?' This was bad. I ran off, dodging the robot. It felt like I was running for a while. I tried to make a jump, but I wasn't careful enough. My leg slipped through the branches. I heard a snap. My leg was screeching with pain. I had to crawl. But that was a bad choice. Especially since I was at the top of the understory. I fell through the branches, until I was in what I estimated was the middle. Another crash and crackle. The robot fell through to get me! "Initiate plan PHOENIX."

"Get away from me!" I grabbed a tree branch. I smacked it until I hope I could find a hole that I could slip through. Unfortunately, it grabbed the branch and headed strait for me. Instead of activating its beam, it was aiming a dart. I noticed that I had a cut in my leg. Great bug buffet. I felt something sting me there. It was a dart. Not knowing what it was, I pulled it out. The robot replaced it quickly. I tried to crawl away, but I couldn't do it. After ten shots, I finally kicked it. It fell through a hole too small for me to slip through, but big enough for it. "Stay away!" I groaned. I had no way of getting home. No one was going to look for me here. My mom would think I was playing my GBA or drawing. My brother wouldn't care and my dad doesn't know I climb to the understory. I was stuck here. No one knew that I was here.

"Need some help?" I looked up. It was Tails! I was a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig tails fan, so I'd know him better than I do know Sonic.

"Yeah. I think I broke my leg." Tails grabbed my shoulders. He lifted me up, letting me try to stand on my good leg to help. I had to get back to the house somehow.

"Nice kick you did."
"What do you mean?"
"The one you did on the swat bot. Sonic can't do a kick that good. It flew four meters for a broken leg."
"Thanks. I'll get to the house from here." Miles dropped me off in front of the back gate. I limped to the house, with the help of a stick.

Chapter 3

"Don't get off the bus! I'll miss you Coochiemonster!"
"Ugg."  I rolled my eyes. That guy was never going to get it. Matt is annoying, I'm serious, at times.
"See ya, Emay."

"See ya." I ran home. Turns out I just sprained my ankle. Didn't hurt when I woke up. I ran to the forest again. Maybe I can get away from swatbots without spraining my ankle again. I wanted to find out how Sonic and Tails got here.

"Emay! Pack up your things! We're leaving as soon as your dad gets here!"
"Yes mom!" I ran inside. My room was a bigger mess than when I left it. I was about to complain about our dog. Then I remembered that Misty was at a kennel. Then who?

"Clean up your room while you're up there too!"

"Yes mom!" I grabbed all the papers and put them in my miscellaneous folder. I'll look over them later. I got my duffel bag out. Stuffing my DS, candy stash, games, CD player, paper and pencils in the bag, I wondered if Tails could've gotten in. He could've seen the key we had in the back. It was easy to find. All he needed to do was get into a room and use the computer. That must've been where the extra paper cam from. I looked on my computer. Last sites visited were the same as this morning. But the programs weren't. And the emails. All the new ones were from "EARTH-MOB_BLUE". All the sent ones were from "YELLOWTWINNEDFOX". Sonic and Tails. I looked at the emails. One was very useful. It talked of one of Eggman's latest plans, PHOENIX. The one that the swat bot spoke of!

"Sonic, I found out about PHOENIX. Eggman is trying to make a super human, then he's going to robotize the victim! I know that he's throwing darts at the victim to give the abilities it'll need. I finally found who the victim is. It is a girl, Emay Vername. She just escaped one last night. I can't find anything else. I'm trying to find out if she's a random victim or this is vengeance. I can't seem to find anything on this computer."

"Try looking in the word documents. I'll look out for Emay."

"I finally found what is proof of vengeance. Emay has something Eggman needs, the Power Ruby. I'll keep it safe with me." I ran to my jewelry boxes. Only one thing has been taken, a necklace. The one with a ruby. That had to be the one with the Power Ruby.

"Emay! Are you done? You're dad is here!"
"Yeah!" I grabbed my bag. It was time for a little vacation.

Chapter 4

"We're here." I woke up when the overhead lights came on. We have traveled eight hours to see my cousin's graduation. "Grab your things. You're going to Hannah's apartment tonight, Emay." I got out, dragging my dad's laptop and my bag of clothes.

"Here's your toothbrush hun." Aunt Dani was good. I had to get into Hannah's car, which by the time I was in, I was wide-awake. We talked about the graduation, what we should to celebrate, the area Hannah's apartment was in, and about how school went. We were welcomed by the sound of Rugby, Gorge's cat, who Hannah was engaged to.

"Rugby, get down." The tabby jumped off the table. There were two bedrooms, so I got to sleep in one. The night was long, alright. It was two in the morning by the time I fell asleep. 

Chapter 5

"Meow!" 
'Ugg, Rugby.' I was awake now. I can't get a good sleep with that cat, but I was warned. The shower was now free, because Hannah was in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Cat, quiet." I gathered my clothes, which, fortunately, were still there. Hannah told me that Rugby liked to steal clothes and shoes. I headed for the shower, which felt great after sleeping in a mini van. Once I was done, so was breakfast. It was good, but then we had to hurry to the high school. The graduation was pretty long. Once Paul was up there, we cheered, joined by a few of his friends. I knew that the vacation was going to be great. We went back to my Aunt Dani's house, but I went in the mini van this time. We unpacked when we got back, which was pretty short. My dad did most of it last night. 

I headed for the trampoline. I was never too old to do a bit of jumping.

"Emay! It is so good to see you!" I turned. It was Eggman. When does that guy get a vacation? "I heard that you had something of mine!"
"I don't have the Power Ruby if that's what you're thinking of!"
"Why would I want that little jewel when you are what I want?"
"Oh, crud." The claws went to grab me, but I was still on the trampoline. The battle arena was to my liking, but not long. The claws pushed me off, and my legs were a bit stiff from the jumping. "Double crud." I was caught.

"Hey Eggman, I thought the rule was not to attack girls." It was Sonic and Tails. I thought that Eggman would be following them, to get the Chaos Emeralds or the Power Ruby. 
'What would he want with me?'
"Give it up Sonic! My latest plan can't be stopped by you!" I had to get free. I grabbed the claw and pressed my legs together to make myself thinner. My legs were finally free, now, for the rest of me. I pushed on the robot with my legs, straining to get out. I slipped free!

"Your plan has a few bugs in it Eggface." That felt pretty good to say.
"We'll see about that!" I was caught again. This was way too annoying to be a fantasy. No one would believe this, but it isn't fiction if I'm getting marks. "I have to go now!"
"Get back here Eggman!" I couldn't see the house now.
"Let me go! I'll get ya down there myself you don't!"
"By doing what?" I didn't have a threat. It was real. I had to face it; I wasn't as strong as I wanted to be.

Chapter 6

I was in Dr. Robonik's lair. I was weak, no matter how I looked at it.
"Now, my young Emay. Settle down, I don't want the serum to stop taking effect."
"Serum? Eggman, you better tell me what's going on!" I was fumed. Interrupting my vacation to be kidnapped! I better get a chance to kick him in the face! 

"Simple. As you know, from those puny bits of fanfiction you read, I can robotize bio-organisms. When I saw a small flaw in my plans, I knew how to defeat Sonic right away, a stronger, faster robot. Only I had to find someone who matched. Which wasn't easy. But when I found I could make someone strong and fast by a little potion, I had the perfect plan. And now, when this part is done, I can get the Power Ruby to defeat Sonic once and for all!"

'So the darts were filled with that potion. If it works, maybe I can break free. If not, I can just scare the pants off that Egg!' I punched the metal bars that held me prisoner. Sure enough, there was a dent. 'Bingo.' I kept it up, until I finished denting the bar. I was able to step out, ready to kick some Egg.

"Hey Eggman. Like your other plans, this one had a flaw, telling me about the potion!" I kicked him in the face. The guy didn't like it, that was for sure. Sonic and Tails made a way in. I stepped back, leaving the battle to the pros. Sonic spin dashed Eggman and left his controls all messed up. Nothing was left intact.

I got ready to leave, but a robot got me. I felt a sharp cut on my arms. I was losing blood, too quickly.

Chapter 7

"Wake up."
I blinked. 

'Where am I?'
I wasn't anywhere I recognized.
Everything was so dark, except for two bright balls of light. 

"Wha-?"
"You're in the between zone."
"But how did I get here?" Sonic was now visible.
"By making that wish." A cottonseed flew by my face. 
'Was that one ball, made by the wishes? The one, for an adventure?'
"You can go back to normalcy, but your existence in the other world is..." He didn't finish. I knew what it was. In that world, the one that the seed made, I was considered, dead. A normal kid, not a kid in Algebra and Composition in sixth grade, but a normal student. That was how I was going to be.

Maybe it was better that I was in the normal world. I have no trouble. I'm not better than anyone, just normal.

Epilogue

I was a normal kid. I never had that Ruby necklace. I have regular math and reading. Nothing out of the ordinary. Sometimes a seed would fly by, but with a present. If the seeds are going through the gap still, maybe I can do something for today. It was very special, for it was the biggest celebration, for Sonic's birthday. I hurried to the Foy's. I made a small purchase, then left. I went to the spot that I saw Sonic in the other world. A cotton seed flew by. I grabbed it, not wanting to wish but for something more.

I tied a card to the seed. It was a birthday card, with my friends' signatures. I told them that the card was for a friend of mine. Sonic kind of was that. Everything seemed right. The seed flew off, probably to the other world.

I sat in the grass, happy with what I've done. I felt something under my butt, so I checked it out. Turns out that I sat on a ring, the type Sonic collects. I put it on my wrist. Maybe it was a very belated birthday present. I didn't know what it was, but it had a bow and a tag that had my name in Kuntsler.

"Goodbye guys. Everyone might forget sixth grade, but I won't. For this reason, nothing will be forgotten. It takes one thing to remember, then one thing to forget. But never forgotten are the dreams, hopes, and memories that have made a change. And this one did." I left, leaving the spot to my cat. She rolled in it like my dog would. It was a good way to remember today. For it was the twenty-third.

The End
