Chapter 12: Asteroid Coaster Part 1

GL (GalaxyLight): We're at the last zone in Sonic Colors (if you exclude Terminal Velocity); the Asteroid Coaster. I have a feeling that Ruby and Yang are going to enjoy this one. Here we go...

BGM - Sonic Colors OST - Asteroid Coaster Map

"Whoa! This place looks big and crazy." Ruby commented on the sight of Asteroid Coaster. There were a lot of asteroids and decorative planets. Some of the asteroids erupted green toxic liquid like a volcano. Even though, there were lots of rails and rollar coasters made out of bones and spikes.

"Yeah, I mean even this entire attraction is so 'spaced' out, huh?" Yang chuckled making the girls groan on her pun.

"I'm not gonna ask how we're even breathing in space anymore..." Weiss sighed.

"This must some kind of factory, but what are they making?" Blake asked in confusion.

"Who cares? There are rollar coasters here! Let's go and ride in one of them!" Ruby cried out in excitement and she found a rollar coaster ride and ran to it.

"Count me in!" Sonic and Yang shouted at the same time and followed Ruby.

"And there they go." Blake sweatdropped. "You're not gonna go stop them, Weiss?"

"What's the point in stopping them when they completely ignore other people as they're only focused one thing?" Weiss asked in an annoyed tone. Just then, more of Eggman's robots ambushed them. "They even ignore them too!" Weiss added.

"Yeah... point taken." After the girls along with Tails handled the robots which took much longer than before, they began stretching themselves to remove the exhaustion.

"Phew! Eggman's robots just keep getting stronger, huh?" Tails said.

"Which is why I ask for a complaint!" Weiss said angrily.

"We must keep our toes on, then." Blake informed. "Who know what other robots could be as deadly as them." The moment she said that, the trio hard a loud laser fire form a distance, in fact they could see it from where they were at.

"Whoa, what was that?!" Tails shrieked.

"Let's go and check it out!" Blake stated as the three headed their way to the building.

"Hey, check out this landlubber!" It was Cubot in his pirate tone who was meeting with a familiar big robot along with Orbot. "That is one big bot, matey!"

"Looks like one of the boss's creations." Orbot said.

"Terminating Eggman's robots!" The robot stated as he shot a laser beam at the two, only to miss.

"Yow! That a laser beam? Wish I'd had one of those, I'd be captain of all robots!" Cubot said.

"He's awfully aggressive for one of the boss's robots, isn't he?" Orbot sighed.

"Must be goin' through a rebellious teen phase."

"That would explain it! You're pretty smart sometimes, you know that?"

"Conversational analysis result: target confirmed Eggman henchmen. Destroy." The robot stated as he activated his artillery once more. That's when Blake and Weiss finally made it to where the area was.

"Omega? He's here too?" Weiss questioned recognising the robot before.

"It would seem so, and apparently he and the two shape-bots are infighting or something." Blake said.

"Arr! It'd be Sonic's landlubbers again!" Cubot stated.

'What the-?! He's speaking in pirate now?!' Blake and Weiss thought in surprise of Cubot's voice change.

"Hey, how about helpin' us out with this swine, would ye?!"

"No way, I would never help small fries like you two." Weiss declared. "Besides, I'd love to have Omega blast you two into oblivion while I watch."

"Meanie! Monster! Heartless beast!" Orbot cursed her.

"That's kind of rich coming from robots with evil purposes!"

"Aww, come on, mateys! You save everybody else!" Cubot begged. Blake sweatdropped from this. Although, they on the side of Eggman, they don't seem like the type of robots who can do anything much, aside from mocking around.

"Weiss, how about we just let them off, just this once." Blake said to Weiss, who raised her eyebrow on her in surprise.

"You can't be serious, Blake. You're really letting these scrap metals go?" Weiss said in a disgusted tone.

"I really don't think they can even do anything mischievous, I mean look at them. They're just helpless. It's not like they can help Eggman conquer the world, they're just low-ranked minions with too much things on their heads. Just let them go, this once." Weiss wanted to speak up but stopped and gave some thought and looked at the shape-bots before turning back to Blake.

"Fine! But you're doing the talking to Omega, not me!" Weiss stated.

"Thank you, Weiss." Blake then turned to Omega. "Let them go, Omega. These two are not worth the effort." Omega then scanned Blake and Weiss in order to stated if they're on the heroes side.

"Analysing two individuals: Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee... Allies detected. I will take your words." Omega stated, giving Blake a sigh of relief. "Condition: You and Schnee will supply physical specification data."

"You want data? From us?" Blake asked.

"Correct. You will complete the mission I specify."

"Is that all? Very well then, what is the mission?" Weiss sighed. Although, she finds it a pain to do, it didn't seem like she had a choice.

"Your mission: Investigate the hidden caves on the outskirts of this asteroid field. I have detected unknown readings that I cannot analyse. You will report back here once your mission is complete."

"Did I miss anything?!" Tails who managed to come called out.

"Yes, Omega wants us to investigate a hidden cave which he cannot analyse." Blake explained.

"Is that it? I'm coming along then, I want to see more around the place."

"Understood! Let's move!" Blake stated as she, Weiss and Tails left the three bots behind.

BGM - Sonic Colors OST - Asteroid Coaster Act 1

They ended up in a factory full of robots, crates and wisp capsules. Going through all of that isn't going to be a walk in the park.

"That... is way too much." Weiss shrugged. "It'll take forever to get past all of that." The robots then notice the girls and began to charge at them. "ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE AFTER US NOW!" The heiress added. The girls was forced to get away by jumping onto the highest roof they could find. They were now surrounded by robots under them. Though they also had to deal with the flyers, but even if they did so, they had nowhere to go around.

"When need something that could get rid of all these robots at once, but what can?" Blake muttered. They didn't notice that an Egg-pawn accidentally knocked over a Wisp capsule and broke it.

The Wisp that broke out, was no ordinary Wisp. This one had a more menacing look than other Wisps. Its head is round with five curved-back tentacles around it, making it look like a swirl. It lack eyes, unlike normal Wisps, and instead have a serrated mouth that look like a menacing grin. They also have three wide tentacles, stemming from their head, and end in a jagged point. That Wisp came to the girls which gave them a fright because of how it looks.

"W-What is that?!" Weiss cried out startled.

"Watch out! It's a Nega-Wisp!" Tails stated. "These are Wisps that have dark nega energy which makes these corrupted Wisps!" This got the girls attention as they became slowly cautious to it, even so the Violet Wisp came closer to them.

"I got a bad feeling about this." Blake muttered with sweat on her face.

"&57K#F$22Q!" The Wisp cried out.

"WAUGH!" Tails screamed.

"&52#CX$12Z!"

"What's it saying?" Blake asked.

"I don't know! I can't understand them! They're far too gone!" This made the girls go extra cautious to the Wisp.

"^%$#65 %$!" The Violet Wisp spoke again, and Tails made a different expression.

"But it doesn't take a translator to tell that they're mad." Tails said.

"Well, they should be mad at Eggman, not us!" Weiss shouted. Before the heiress could react, the Violet Wisp immediately flew inside of Weiss's Myrtenaster. "What the-?!" The rapier glowed purple as the dust turned into violet coloured, but that wasn't what frightened Weiss. What really frightened her is that the Nega energy was flowing on her arm slowly going to her body. "Auaauugh!"

"WEISS!" Blake and Tails shouted. The moment the Nega-Wisp's energy covered her, there was silence until she broke it with a menacing voice.

"Destroy..." Was what came out.

"What?!" Blake said with her eyes widen. She called feel the dark tension and presence on her.

"Death..."

"Weiss...?" Tails called out worried. What scared him now was that the possessed heiress let out an evil smirk. Her eyes are instead of aqua colour, they were now violet coloured as they glowed bright.

"TO OBLIVION WITH YOU ALL!" Weiss roared with a beastly voice as she uncontrollably shot out a violet ball on the ground. The moment it hit the ground, the ball stopped as it transformed itself into a giant void sucking all the robots and crates into it, even the rings were being sucked in. Blake and Tails watched horrified as everything was being sucked into nothing. Weiss just stood there with that scary smirk, proudly watching all the robots disappearing into the void. When all the robots were gone, the void disappeared as silence was around the are, because no enemies were left.

BGM END

"Finally... They're all gone..." The dark heiress chuckled, just before as the Nega-Wisp flew out of the Myrtenaster and the dark aura flowing in Weiss disappeared. The heiress began to collapse until Blake and Tails grabbed her just in time.

"Weiss! Are you alright?! Speak to us!" Tails called out to her.

"Ugh...What happened...? And why does my head hurt?" Weiss groaned as she slowly tries to get up.

"Thank the gods, you're alright." Blake gave a sigh of relief.

"What do you mena by th-" She stopped talking as she saw everything gone in shock. "Wha-?! Where did everything go?! The place is entirely deserted!" Blake and Tails's eyes widen in shock. She doesn't remember using a void to obliterate all the robots?

"You were the one who sent them all into a void and are gone." Blake explained.

"What?! I don't remember doing that!" Weiss protest.

"Maybe, it's because of the effects of that Nega-Wisp." Tails stated. The girls turned to him with a confused look. "Hmm, I think I'll go and find a Nega-Wisp and see what I can find from it. It may explain to what happened to Weiss and what kind of power it has.

"What the heck are you talking about, Tails?" Weiss asked still confused before she was dragged by Blake. "Hey! What are you doing?!"

"We're not here to talk about things right now, we're after the cave, remember?" Blake reminded her.

"Alright, alright, let go of my hand!" After passing through the factory, they found the cave and went to investigate around the place. They stopped to a point where they saw a giant amount of purple capsules and a big converting machine.

"What is this?" Weiss asked shocked from what she is seeing right now.

"This must be where he Eggman converts the Wisps into this strange...negative...aliens with the dark energy." Blake suggested. "Wo many Wisps turning into Nega-Wisps, I don't like it."

"Neither do I, I feel sick just looking at it." Weiss agreed.

"Oh, there you two are. I thought I lost you guys for a second." The girls turned to see Tails flying to them. "Did you find... anything... interesting?"

"Yes, that." Weiss answered referring to the capsules and converter.

"Look at all of them. He's captured thousands of aliens." Tails shivered.

"Don't worry, we'll get them out." Blake stated with slight anger on her voice. She won't forgive Eggman for what he has done to the Wisps.

"Blake, Weiss, I haven't seen Yacker for a while..." Tails said nervously.

"...I think we're done here. We've seen what we needed. Let's go and report back to Omega." Blake stated. The two nodded in agreement as they left the cave and went back to where Omega was. They explained to Omega what they have witness in the cave, eventually they were received with a passing grade.

"Conditions met. Investigation data stored for use in later function upgrade." Omega stated.

"Did you see where those two robots ran off to?" Weiss asked founding out that Orbot and Cubot were already gone.

"Trace not possible. Targets lost."

"You should be mining data from those junk heaps' lightning-fast escapes." Tails chuckled.

"Guaranteed. Seriously, how do they run so fast?" Weiss asked in disbelief.

"It's a mystery..." Blake muttered.

"WOO! That was fun!" Sonic cried out in excitement.

"Yeah! Those rollar coasters sure were run on the mill!" Yang smiled. "Although, I'm somewhat mad at the fact, the tracks aren't even finished yet. Makes me wonder why this attraction is even open."

"Yeah, not to mention that this planet's all gloomy." Ruby shuddered when looking at the asteroid field. "I'll be happy to get out of here."

"It certainly doesn't feel like an amusement park..." Sonic said. The trio then heard some odd noise, like jet skates and it was getting closer and it sounded an awful lot like...a black hedgehog.

"Hmph, finally." The hedgehog greeted behind them.

"Shadow!" The trio shouted when they all turned to him.

"Didn't think I'd find you still hanging around here." Shadow said.

"And what do you mean by that?" Yang asked annoyed.

"You three have a job to do. Go take care of the Doctor."

"Are you here to help us, Shadow?" Ruby asked.

"Hmph, I see no reason."

"All right, fine. We'll get going." Sonic said, but before they left, Shadow stopped them for a moment.

"Before you go." Shadow spoke.

"What?"

"It's been awhile... Let me make sure you haven't gone soft, Sonic."

"Oh, do I sense a battle? Alright then! I'm all for it!"

"You and me, one-on-one, the girls will be on watch so don't be expecting any help from them."

"Heh, lead the way, Shadow." The two hedgehogs head off to a far distance and began running beside each other, racing their way to wherever they go.

"I should have bought popcorn. Is there a vending machine somewhere?" Yang asked as she looked around.

"Nope! Doesn't seem like you can find any here." Ruby said. Yang groaned as she sat down to relax as the sisters wait until the hedgehogs come back. "Y'know Yang, I've been thinking about something."

"What is it, Ruby?"

"Well, umm... this is a bit embarrassing but..." Ruby's face began to turn red from what she's going to say right now. "What do you think Sonic would looks like if he was human...?" There was a silent pause around them until Yang managed to break it.

"Come again?" Yang asked making sure if she heard her properly. Ruby's face began to turn a bit more red.

"Y-You know, we see that Sonic right now, is a hedgehog." She stuttered. "So what do you think he would look like if he was a human?" Yang could not believe what she was hearing. Why did Ruby ask something like that totally out of the open? What is it because of curiosity or was it something else? Yang then began to smirk as she knows where this is going.

"Ooooh! Do you have a soft spot for our little hedgehog friend?" Yang asked causing her little sister to make her face flush again.

"N-No! It's not that I have a thing for him?!" Ruby stammered. "It's just that I'm curious to what he would look like if he was human. Sure he looks average as a hedgehog but seeing him as a human always crossed my mind. Like he runs super fast and he doesn't wear clothes at all. I just wonder what we could describe him as. I bet Weiss and Blake are wondering too, maybe you too, Yang." Yang flinched when she was included as an interest of Sonic.

"Well... uh... I guess I'm kind of curious too." She admitted. "I guess we could start on his body build." The two girls started to think of Sonic as a human (in other words, character development). "Well, to start off, he's a hedgehog so he'd likely to have hedgehog like ears on his head as well as some quills on his back."

"So he's a Faunus then?" Ruby asked.

"Seems that way, his hair will be blue because...you know why."

"Right... and I'm guessing his shoes would be..."

"Definitely the same ones he's wearing right now."

Yeah, don't need to talk about that... For gloves, it'll white since he wears them. Now for the clothes."

"Hmm..." The girls thought very hard on this one. Because of the fact that Sonic NEVER wears clothes, it made it very difficult to find what clothes that would suit him. "I guess we could give him a white shirt to start him up." Yang suggested. "Also with a blue and white sleeveless jacket to make him look energetic and young."

"I think we should give him blue shorts with two belts for coolness. His legs needs a lot of running too." Ruby added.

"His face will a be a energetic teenage cocky boy. Let's give him some spikey hair since his hair is spikey, if you know what I mean." Yang chuckled. Ruby just sighed from her lame pun. "Shall we give him a weapon? He does seem to be fine on his own..."

"No way! Everyone needs a weapon, including Sonic!" Ruby exclaimed. "I'm thinking his weapon would be a sword! Remember that Weiss said that Sonic used a sword once in a fairy tale (Sonic and the Black Knight)? So I guess we can use that."

"Welp, I guess that's all we need on him..." Yang smiled as the girls began to put all the ideas on one person. The moment they thought of Sonic as a Faunus made their eyes sparkle while drooling, even though they don't know that they are. They lost their train of thought when they heard a loud crashing noise as well as a loud barking sound.

"It's coming form over there!" Yang said as she pointed at a wall that was being cracked by something behind it. It was finally broken, and it revealed to be a huge, flowing purple, demonic-looking chomper that constantly gives off a dark and thick aura. It was barking like mad as it was eating everything it sees.

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!" Ruby screamed in horror.

"Get back, Ruby!" Yang shouted as she got behind and activated her Ember Celica, ready to fight it. The moment the chomper stopped eating and saw the girls. It began barking louder as it began to revert into...a blue hedgehog.

"Buuuuurrrp! I don't think I want another bite again." He groaned.

"SONIC?!" The girls shouted at the same time.

"Oh, hey Ruby and Yang." Sonic greeted them.

"Don't 'hey' us! Just what was that?! Did you turn into a hideous monster of something?!" Yang exclaimed.

"Huh? Oh no, I just absorbed a Nega-Wisp."

"A Nega-Wisp." Ruby asked.

"Basically just a purple that turned me into a hungry beast."

"Make that to a hungry dog." Yang sweatdropped. That's when Shadow came back to the trio.

"If you ask me, Sonic, you did quite a lot of collateral damage to the factory in that form for a hero." He commented.

"Heh, well I can be overdoing at times when it comes to fun!" Sonic smiled.

"Heh, looks like I don't need to be too worried."

"What was that?"

"Were you worried if we'd get hurt trying to rescue the aliens?" Ruby asked.

"Hmph!" Shadow grunted as he turned his head away from them.

"I'll just take that as a compliment!" Sonic smiled. "That's true ultimate speed for you!"

"Ultimate? Amusing choice of words."

"Then why do you seem so unamused, Shadow?" Ruby sweatdropped.

"Probably because he's jealous of Sonic's speed and power compared to him." Yang whispered. "I guess you could say that Sonic is more of an ultimate life form than him, huh?" She then suddenly felt a dark aura flowing behind her, also her sister was paled as white. "...He heard me, didn't he?" Ruby slowly nodded in response.

"Care to say that again in front of me, Yang Xiao Long?" Shadow growled in anger.

"You... might wanna run, Yang." Ruby informed her.

"Way ahead of you." Yang replied as she immediately took off with Shadow chasing her.

"I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY FROM ME!" Shadow screamed in rage.

"...I don't know who's scarier, your sister or my rival." Sonic said.

"You and me both, Sonic, you and me both..." Ruby sweatdropped having an agreement with each other.
