Sleeping Giant

Third Person's POV

We start in Seaside Island Canyon as Tails is flying his plane over the canyons, diving down deeper and gliding through. Knuckles flies up alongside him "Dude, whatup?" Knuckles asks "How can you be flying?" Tails asks "Heh, I'm Brody powered!" Knuckles said as he is tied to a parachute, and the other end of its rope is tied to Brody. As Brody is running, he is pulling Knuckles along with him, like a kite "Let's go for a big boy ride!" Brody said adn begins to speed up "yeah!" Knuckles said and hits the cliff wall, and bounces off it. As Brody runs in zigzag patterns, Knuckles hits each side of the cliff and bounces off "This is fun!" Knuckles said and hits the cliff again "And only mildly damaging to my kidneys!" Knuckles said "Use your head on this one!" Sonic said as Brody runs past a rock, but Knuckles hits his head on it, and the recoil pulls Brody backward. He lands right beside Knuckles "You know, in retrospect that may have been bad advice" Brody said "You don't say" Knuckles said and there's a sound of rocks falling. As Brody and Knuckles look up in amazement, they see a giant creature made of rocks standing up. The monster is holding its head and moaning, then it yawns and looks down at them "Huh, maybe it's a friendly gargantuan rock monster" Sonic said and the rock monster roars right in their faces. It blows them both back, leaving Brody facedown on the ground "Nope; he's playing into the stereotype" Brody said and stands up and dodges being crushed by the monster's rock hand. He and Sonic run around the monster's feet, and the monster tries to stomp on them, to no avail "Here I come!" Tails said and the monster swats his plane away "There I go" Tails said and Sonic and Brody continue running in a circle around the monster, who again tries to squash them. Knuckles is running toward them "Keep him busy, Sonic and Brody; I'll give you a hand with his feet with my head" Knuckles said and leaps over and attempts to headbutt the monster, but that doesn't do anything except make Knuckles dizzy. As he aimlessly walks around, the monster walks away.

*Later at the countryside*

The monster walks into the green plains, with Sonic and Brody still beside him. The monster kicks a massive boulder high into the sky and is heading right towards Fastidious Beaver, who is pulling a lemon cart in the village. Sonic and Brody sprint after it, and they safely get Fastidious Beaver out of the way; the boulder crushes the cart, squirting squeezed lemon juice everywhere. Some of it even lands in a barrel "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" Sonic said "But I already had the lemons" Fastidious Beaver said and Knuckles walks up, still holding his head "Sonic! Brody! Knuckles! What's goin' on?" Sticks asks as she runs up to the scene, with Amy, Turbo and Ralph right beside her, and they screech to a stop "A giant rock monster is laying waste to the countryside" Brody said "You mean, "a Granifer Giganticus is laying waste to the countryside"" Amy said "Yeah, thanks for clearing that up" Ralph said and the Granifer Giganticus moans, then picks a tree up out of the ground, and throws it at Team Sonic. It lands on the ground right side up, and more lemons fall out of it, all over Fastidious Beaver "As previously noted: I already had the lemons" Fastidious Beaver said and Tails' plane falls from the sky and crashes down right in front of Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Ralph, Knuckles, Sticks, and Amy. The engine is smoking, and Tails sighs with relief. But then, it falls to pieces and stops smoking "Don't worry; it's still covered by the manufacturer's warranty!" Tails said "But we're the manufacturer" Turbo said "I knew We shouldn't have given ourselves a receipt!" Tails said "Guys? Rock monster?" Amy asks as the Granifer Giganticus, is now walking towards them "Oh right. What do you know about that thing, Amy?" Sonic asks "Granifer Giganticus is a proud race of mountain dwellers from the time of the Ancients. No one has seen one in hundreds of years" Amy said and the Granifer Giganticus sits down on top of a hut, but it gets crushed underneath its weight "He's ignoring the "You break it, you bought it" sign. He really is a monster!" Tails said.

*Meanwhile at Eggman's Lair*

Eggman is watching the event unfold on his monitor screen "Egad! There's a pitiless monster spreading destruction and horror across the land!" Eggman said "Sounds like your kind of people" Cubot said "Oh, I'm a huge fan of his work. I must make him my minion; he could destroy entire cities!" Eggman said and looks at the readers "And clean my rain gutters; they're hard to reach" Eggman said and turns to Orbot and Cubot and stands up "Cubot, Orbot, go capture him!" Eggman said "Why us? There's no way we could catch that behemoth" Orbot said "Well, not with a negative attitude like that. Now get moving!" Eggman said and starts walking in place like a military soldier, while Orbot and Cubot float away "Left, right, left, right!" Eggman said "He always says "left, right", yet we have no legs. That's hurtful" Orbot said.

*Back at Hedgehog Village*

The Granifer Giganticus is still sitting down "So, so horrible; they were supposed to reupholster my loveseat" Amy said "Hey, he's doing what my neighbor's Uncle Tannous does when he has the insomnia; he can never get comfortable, so he's always fluffing his pillow" Turbo said and the Granifer Giganticus groans as he knocks on a neighboring building's roof "Like that! My neighbor's Uncle Tannous's next move would be to get up and get a drink of water" Tails said and the Granifer Giganticus stands up and walks over to a well. He picks the well itself up off the ground, and the water squirts up into his mouth "Like that!" Turbo and Tails said and the Granifer Giganticus yawns, and ducks fly out of his mouth "But our neighbor's Uncle Tannous doesn't yawn ducks" Turbo said and the Granifer Giganticus begins to walk out of the village, yawning and stretching his arms as he goes "Hey, he isn't rampaging. You know what he's doing?" Brody asks "Ravaging? Devastating? Marauding? Obliterating? Flinging or scattering to the wings?" Sticks asks and pulls out a book "Found a thesaurus in a cranberry bog" Sticks said "He's trying to get comfortable. He can't sleep" Sonic said "We've gotta help him get back to sleep" Brody said.

*Later at the Canyon*

Sonic, Brody, Tails, Turbo, Amy, Sticks, Ralph and Knuckles are following the Granifer Giganticus through the canyons. He soon reaches a massive boulder and sits down on it, and Sonic and his friends stop " I'm no giant-rock-monsterologist, but our guy looks overtired" Sonic said "Nothing brings on sleep like a dose of melody sung by a sweet songbird" Amy said and a songbird flies up and begins chirping sweetly, but Amy does not look pleased "Not you! Me!" Amy said and the bird screeches and flies away and Amy clears her throat, and then begins singing "Hush, little Granifer Giganticus, don't say a word; Amy's gonna buy you a mockingbird!" Amy sings and the Granifer Giganticus holds its ears and roars painfully. It then gets up and runs away and Amy stops singing "He's made out of rock! What does he know?" Amy asks and Sticks clears her throat and tries herself. She begins singing a very horrid version of "Rock-a-bye Baby"; it's so horrid, that Amy, Knuckles, Ralph, Turbo, Tails, Brody and Sonic all cover their ears painfully "That's not a lullaby; that's what happens when I drop bagpipes into a woodchipper" Knuckles said "Yeah, but it's working! He's falling asleep!" Sonic said and the Granifer Giganticus is laying down in the middle of the canyon path; Sonic, Brody, Ralph, Knuckles, Tails, Turbo, Sticks, and Amy run up a nearby rock cliff, and on the other side, they see villagers with carts of produce stuck "That road is the delivery route for all the deli products that come into the village" Knuckles said "You know what, giant rock monsters are a pain in the butt. Sticks, keep singing--or, whatever it is you're doing" Brody said and Sticks jumps onto Sonic's back and begins caterwauling again; Sonic runs off, carrying her with him, and the Granifer Giganticus stands up and follows them. Brody, Amy, Tails, Turbo, Ralph and Knuckles follow them as well "Worst parade ever" Amy said irritated and Sonic runs to a clearing away from the deli route, and the Granifer Giganticus moans, leans against the cliff wall, and sits down. Sticks gets off Sonic's back and stops singing "It's working! Sleep, my large, rocky friend, and dream of larger, gravely girl monsters" Sonic said and Eggman arrives seconds later in the Eggmobile "Release the Bee Bots!" Eggman said and Orbot is wearing a hat and scarf "After you've returned your seat and tray table to the upright position" Orbot said and Eggman groans, and Orbot presses a button on a screen and Bee Bots swarm out from the Eggmobile by the dozens, and they fire red sphere attacks at the Granifer Giganticus; they levitate around him and generate a ball-shaped net made from red energy. Eggman chuckles, but the Granifer Giganticus snarls, and he breaks free of the net with little effort "Hey, that was a very expensive honeycomb cage! If you and I are going to subjugate the world for a thousand generations, I need to see a better attitude from you" Eggman said "Give it up, Egg-Stain; we're not letting you capture Rocky" Sonic said and launches himself at the Bee Bots in a Spin Dash, Knuckles grabs a large stick and swats at the Bee Bots, and Amy smacks them with her hammer "Hey, Bee Bots, follow me!" Brody said and the Bee Bots all chase after Brody, and he runs round and round up a peak; once he reaches the top, he catapults himself up towards Eggman, but he misses. However, the Bee Bots can't stop in time, and they crash into Eggman, sending him flipping backwards "Might be time to turn on the "fasten seat-belt" sign and head back to the lair" Orbot said and Eggman and all the Bee Bots retreat. Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph, Knuckles, and Amy stare up at the sky, smiling "Okay, Eggman's gone. Sticks, you can start singing again" Brody said and the seven of them cover their ears, but nothing happens. They look to the side, and there's no sign of Sticks or the Granifer Giganticus; all that's there is what appears to be an unusually shaped rock "The monster took Sticks" Turbo said "Then let's go get her" Sonic said and they all run off, but as they do, the unusually shaped rock expands and changes color, revealing itself as the Granifer Giganticus. He stands up and begins to walk. He also is holding Sticks in his hand "Wow, that was good camouflage; you gotta teach me to do that" Sticks said and the Granifer Giganticus carries her to a peak, and he begins to climb it, still holding Sticks "Not gonna teach me, huh? Fine! Then I'm not gonna teach you how to use gelatin to keep monkeys from swarming into your fireplace!" Sticks said.

*Later at Tails and Turbo's workshop*

"Brody and I searched all the mountains and canyons; no trace of Sticks" Sonic said "Turbo and I scoured the coastline; bupkus" Tails said "I searched the jungle; zilch" Amy said "Knuckles and I didn't have much luck either" Ralph said when suddenly, an alarm rings "That's our Disasterometer!" Turbo said and the Disasterometer begins detecting Sticks' caterwauling, and Amy, Brody, Sonic, Ralph and Knuckles cover their ears as it plays "That's horrible! What could be causing it?" Sonic said.

At the canyon, Sticks is still singing her horrid song to the Granifer Giganticus, but it roars right in her face "I can't sing forever; I'll ruin my voice" Sticks said choking.

Back at Tails and Turbo's workshop, "Hey, that's Sticks!" Turbo said "The rock monster still has her. Can that tell us where she is?" Brody asks "Yeah, We can triangulate her location and get a topographic visual representation" Tails said and turns a knob, and the Disasterometer prints out a map and Sonic looks at the map "That peak is a mile high, and Tails' plane is out of commission" Sonic said "We've got to find another way!" Amy said.

*Later at the canyon*

"I had to open my yap" Amy said as her, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles are all tied to parachutes, and just like earlier, the other ends of the ropes are tied to Sonic and Brody, and as they run, they pull them along through the sky. But Amy feels altitude sick because of the mode of transportation "Does this thing come with a barf bag?" Amy asks "There's Sticks!" Turbo said and the Granifer Giganticus is sitting on the peak, still holding Sticks as she sings. As Sonic and Brody sprint up to them, Amy, Ralph and Knuckles grab Sticks together and take her away "Concert's over, Rocky. You can buy a t-shirt in the lobby" Knuckles said and the Granifer Giganticus reaches up and tries to grab Sticks again, but she and her friends slip out of his reach, and he roars furiously. The draft from his roar is so powerful, it blows Amy, Sticks, Knuckles, Ralph, Turbo and Tails even further away "New fun fact about Granifer Giganticus: their breath smells like dead jellyfish!" Amy said and the Granifer Giganticus slides down the peak and chases after Sticks "Now what are we gonna do with him?" Ralph asks "No worries, guys; We got a plan" Brody said and he and Sonic sprint off.

*At Eggman's Lair*

Eggman is outside, trimming one of many bushes that resemble him while Orbot and Cubot watch "Hey boss, who's your leafy lady friend?" Cubot asks "Stop flopping your hinges! Since you two botched the capture of the rock monster, I need the peace and quiet of my meditation garden to calm my nerves" Eggman said "May I say, sir; it's working like a charm" Orbot said when suddenly, Sonic and Brody dash by, and when they pass the bush, all the leaves blow off "Ugh, he'll want us to put the leaves back on. I'll go get the glue gun" Cubot said and then, the Granifer Giganticus walks up, and he steps on another one of the bushes "Hey, do you mind? Don't stomp on the topiary!" Eggman said and next, the Granifer Giganticus picks up a gazebo and tosses it to the side, smashing it to pieces "Okay, I thought "Don't stomp on the topiary" also implied, "Don't drop a gazebo on it"" Eggman said and the Granifer Giganticus roars "We can't just stand here and watch Eggman's place get trashed" Sonic and Brody said and Knuckles sighs "You're right" He said "Good news, the Disasterometer recorded Sticks' singing, and I've put it on an endless loop" Turbo said "That is good news" Amy said sarcastically and Turbo presses a button, and the recording of Sticks' singing begins. The Granifer Giganticus yawns and lies down on Eggman's topiary "Oh, sorry about the flowers, Eggie" Sonic said "How long must I endure this?!" Eggman asks "It takes Granifer Giganticus about a year to fall completely asleep. But we could always turn it up" Amy said "No, no; that won't be necessary" Eggman said "Come on, guys; saddle up" Brody said and  he and Sonic run across the ocean, pulling each of their friends on their parachutes behind them, away from Eggman's lair "Ah well, maybe I can make a fountain out of his nose, a coy pond in his belly button. Cubot! Orbot! Bring me potting soil; evil potting soil..." Eggman said as this chapter comes to an end.
