Runasutaru
December 23rd, 2005, 07:13 PM
I, Runasutaru, got inspired to write a fanfic after reading a parody by a friend.
And the result was this Sonic 3 & Knuckles parody!
The usual genre is Parody/Humor/General, at times the general being Action/Adventure and also the overused cornyness that can also count as Romance. XDDDDDD
Now, some notes first...
First fanfic, but no need to care about that ya know?
And since I have made 3 chapters of this fic already, I´ll post em all in a row. ^__^
So, here it comes...
3 Runasutarus and a Knuckle Sandwich!
Summary:
Once, Runasutaru was at the computer and felt like playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles, but she had to go look for her Mega Drive (Genesis) to play it. When she found it, she started playing, but some things were wrong...

Prologue
Word Count:712, how pathetic. -_-;
Over MSN Messenger:
Runasutaru says:
~Hmm, I’m feeling like playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles Kite, I’ll see ya later! ^__^~
Kite says:
~Ok Ru! n_n~
~Runasutaru logged off~
Runasutaru turned off the computer, got up, and left the living room.
“Now I must find that **** Mega Drive...Lessee...” Runasutaru ranted as she walked to her brother’s room.
She entered it, and started searching for the Mega Drive in the mess of TCG cards her bro called a room.
Yodaspeed, her bro, had a small room. Its walls were white and had some paintings hanging.
At the entrance, you could find a long table covered with papers, cards, and more cards.
To the right of the entrance, you’d see his bed with MORE cards even on top of it.
There were two small spaces of floor both in front of his bed and behind it, covered with guess what? Cards and booster displays!
Near the bed and the table, a small TV was rested on top of a long legged and VERY small table.
Yes, her bro was a Trading Card Game maniac, and it annoyed her mom a lot because to clean up his room there was a lot of pain involved.
“Now, let’s look for that diabolical console...”
After 15 minutes of searching, she found it.
“YAY! Now to carry this to the living room and play it... No, wait, why did I even do this? I’ve got Sonic Mega Collection + for the X-Box!” Runasutaru slapped her forehead.
“Aw hell with it, might as well play Sonic 3 and Knuckles with this thing then...” She, while blushing a little, set up the Mega Drive.
“Now, let’s play! Gonna sweep the game with Tails again!” She happily cheered like she did this every single day of her life...And it seems she enjoyed doing so repetitively.
The screen went black, and the Sega logo blinked and flashed on the screen then faded out to a black screen again.
After that, the Title screen popped up, but Runasutaru noticed something was wrong, REALLY wrong...
Instead of Sonic showing up in the logo, SHE was there, and the person flying the plane was still Tails surprisingly.
“OMFreakin G!! What the hell is up with this thing?!” She asked herself outloud.
“It...it can’t be...ONE OF THE TITLE SCREEN´S PIXELS IS DISTORTED!” She smartly proclaimed.
´No stupid, it’s the character in the logo that is wrong!` Her subconscious, named Kuri, yelled at her.
“Hmm...Are ya sure? Oh yeah, you are right!”
´Great, now-`
”It’s not the title screen that is messed up, IT´S TAILS! He’s got an orangeish colour!"
Kuri “fell” Anime style at this remark.
´NO STUPID! YOU ARE IN THE **** LOGO. YOOOOOOOU!` He screamed at her like he’d lost his mind.
“Huh? Oh yeah, RIGHT! ...I KNEW THAT, I WAS JUST TESTING YOU!” She unconvincingly said.
After that, they stopped yelling at each other, and since Runasutaru liked seeing herself in there, she chose herself as a character instead.
The screen changed to a shower of tropical colours.There was a bright blue fox with a small red flying chicken at her side (Yes, it is wakachamo. MWAHAHAHAHAHA! XD), and they were darting towards a floating island, situated above an ocean in Mobius, Sonic’s home planet.
“Hmm, Angel Island Zone, such a fun place!” Runasutaru remarked after her game self was hit by Knuckles.
But once again, something was wrong. Knuckles was different than normal.
´Oh no, what happened to your game anyways Ru? See what Knuckles looks like? It’s horrendous, it’s scary, it’s SMELLY, he looks like... Like...` Kuri couldn´t fiish this sentence, because Knuckles was simply too horrible to describe.
“Yeah, I know! He... He CHANGED HIS HAIRSTYLE, WHOAMG!” Runasutaru yelled, her parents starting to worry about her already because she was talking to herself.
Kuri sighed.
´Dear readers, excuse my conscience’s stupidity... Now let’s see if I can manage to tell you what we see...It’s horrendous... What we see... Knuckles, he... HE IS A SANDWICH! WITH RED DREADLOCKS!` As he finishes this sentence, he has a breakdown and faints.
Runasutaru, completely ignoring Kuri’s commentary, continued the game, but when she pressed the buttons, the character wouldn’t move!
“Awwww man, now whaAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!” She yelled as she was sucked into the game.

Angel Island Zone Act 1- Lost!
Word Count:1211
A portal opened and Runasutaru was sucked in, and she fell onto a familiar, yet unknown place, and hit her head in the process.
”Huh...Wha...? Where am I?” She slurred while in pain and fainted.
”Get up Ru! We need to go stop RoboKate!” Wakachamo, worriedly and hastily whispered and helped her up.
”...You’re right...” She drowsily said.
´Now, is it just me or this place looks familiar?` She thought, still not fully back to her senses.
There she was, with her partner Wakachamo, the red flying chicken.(XDDDDD)
They were under a waterfall with blue, clear, refreshing water, surrounded by all kinds of tropical flowers and plants. The ground was a little muddy, but it was alright to walk and run on. There were also many patches of lush green grass, tips of the leaves twinkling under the Sun’s light, spread out through this loamy soil, and a few palm trees with long and gracious yellow and green leaves, and rough skinned trunks, scattered at truly random places, one of them even was barely above ground level, and it was right next to our heroes, giving them a nice shade and freshness.
Under this shade, we can see our heroine has changed her shape.
She was now a Fox/Cat/Wolf/Lynx hybrid.
She was 157 cm tall, dark blue, with a fox tail, fox ears, furry body like a wolf’s, a cat-like body structure, a mix of lynx and wolf whiskers, and some parts of her body were skin coloured.
She wore a black shirt with a moon shape not very noticeably glowing under it, bright blue sports trousers, lime green shoes each one with two blue streaks running through, and two yellow gloves with a metal piece attached to the top of them.
She had something else too. She had a earring with a fake Sonic game sized emerald attached to a silver ring that was stuck to her ear, and also wore a golden chain-like necklace with a red bell hanging from it.
Wakachamo was a different story. He was Runasutaru’s best Internet friend, and it seems they liked, maybe even loved each other, even though they had never met in real life.(There goes FBN not knowing who it was that I liked. >_>; )In here, Wakachamo was a freaky mix of a Flicky and a Blaziken, a chicken-like Pokémon that knows martial arts. Basically, he was 150 cm tall, but he had some Flicky-like features. Per example, he had VERY short bird legs, so what he did most of the time was fly. Also, to rest for a while from long flights, he could shrink to Flicky size and land somewhere. He had a dark red colour, long orangeish hair, and a huge beak that could rip out your eye faster than Bugs Bunny can say “What’s up Doc?”. He also wore glasses that gave him a nerdy, but smart look. And he WAS smart.
They started walking, and it seems that blow to Runasutaru´s head made her become smart again. But, as always, when you hit your head HARD, something must happen.
...She lost her cap.
”OMG, WHERE IS MY PWETTY, PWEEEEETY CAP WAKACHAMO?!” She screamed at Wakachamo, shaking him by the neck, while hysterically crying Anime style.
”It’s...right...here...with...me, don’t...WORRY! SQUEAK!” He said pausing every single word, and squeaked loudly like a rubber duck.
”...Squeak? SQUEAK? THAT´S ALL YOU DO SAY AFTER STEALING MY CAP?! SQUEAK?!” She yelled and took her cap back and put it on.
“...Yes...Now stop squeezing me like that please...I’m suffocating!” He pleaded.
”Oh, sorry about that.” She said then hugged him as an apology.
”ACK! No...Too...TIGHT...” He then asked her to loosen it up a bit.
”...I am only messing up lately...” She said, and went to hide in a corner in sadness, but since this was a jungle, she found no corner and got lost.
´...Kuso! Why does she ALWAYS do this?` Wakachamo swore mentally and followed her.
Trailing after them was a robot monkey gang, startled by the noise the pair had created...
Runasutaru was in a clearing now, surrounded by many piled up rocks.She sighed. From all directions many trees creeped up above that there was only darkness and no light went through.
´Well, no use in moving from here, there are more chances of him finding me if I stay here.` She reasonably thought while she toyed with her necklace bell.
Nearby...
”RU! RU! WHERE ARE YOU?!” Wakachamo called for her, very worried about her safety while running through the jungle at top speed.
The monkeys were right behind him, but he didn’t notice that while in his blind search for the blue fox. They started throwing bombs at him.
”...Where is she?” He said while panting, still running, but slowing down a little.
´Got to fi-` His thoughts were interrupted as a bomb exploded near his feet.
”Oh ****! Got to hurry up, I can’t take them all on by myself!”
He ran and ran, dodging the bombs thrown at him, until he finally reached the clearing, and had to stop running due to a huge pile of rocks that was in his way, Runasutaru at the other side of it and he didn’t know.
”This is one tall wall! I can fly, let’s hope this stops them...GAAAAAAAAAH!” He yelled in pain when one of the bombs hit one of his wings.
´Got to find a ground opening...An opening... YES!` He mentally cheered as he saw a small opening between some rocks.
´I just need to shrink to Flicky size now!` He shrunk and ran through at top speed!
The group of robots hit the wall, most of them getting damaged beyond repair, but some of them stopped in time.
They started thinking about a way to jump over this obstacle, since the hole Wakachamo went through was too small.
They spotted some palm trees, and tried to think up something...
”...RU!” He happily cheered when he sighted her, just some distance away from him.
“......Wakachamo...?” She whispered in a broken voice, due to her sobbing.
”Your wing! What happened?!” She asked looking at the mess of feathers covered with blood.
He jumped into her arms, hugging her with one wing, and told her about the situation.
”...So, rabid robot monkeys are following us for no apparent reason? Well then...”
She got up and put him on her shoulder.
”We must call... THE GHOSTBUSTERS!” She announced, and Wakachamo heavily sweatdropped, falling from her shoulder because of the utter stupidity of the comment and because of his heavy laughing.
”OWWWWWWWW!” He cried.
”Oh, sorry about that! Like I said, everything I do comes out wrong, I just wanted to cheer you up a bit...” She said.
”Th-th-that´s alright, it didn’t hurt a lot... But promise me you won’t make me laugh that much any time sooner...” He replied while getting up, and started changing back to his former form.
”I think they stopped following us Ru, can we rest for a b-“ He was cut off as the robots were catapulted to the inside of the clearing!
”Stay back Wakachamo, I’ll take care of this, you are not in the condition to fight! But if any monkey comes through and I am not there, just rip its eyes off!” She said.

Angel Island Zone Act 1 -Special Stage madness and the freaky mini boss!
Word Count:4064
´Lessee, if this form is completely liable to my character design, then...` Runasutaru then pressed the buttons made of metal of both her gloves by making the two gloves hit each other in that place.
Two huge blades started forming from that metal square, and they were a bright blue glow at first, but then they started solidifying to blades that had the EXACT height as Runasutaru’s body. They looked like normal metal, but they had aluminum properties, therefore being very light, lighter than feathers, but they had the hardness of diamonds. This kind of steel is called the Buruminum, a special material created by Runasutaru herself. It also had a slight blue glow added to its metallic glow.
”YEEEEEEEEEEEEESH... Now for some cutting action!” She yelled, then smirked.
At the sight of those blades, some of the monkeys walked few steps back, but the ones programmed to be leaders stayed.
They were only two, and it seemed like an easy fight.
“OK then bots, you chose the wrong person to mess with! NYYYYYYYYYYYYAH!” She roared Runasutaru style, like a demon dragon.
”Void Hurricane!”
She ran forth and started accelerating, jumped and started spinning like a tornado, the blades creating a small huricane underneath her, sucking grass, bits of stones and mud into it. The hurricane also had a purple tint to it.
”Now for some PWNAGE sweeping!” She went forward in a straight line, being able to control her movements perfectly, and as they attempted to run away, Wakachamo quickly sprinted to their back and pushed one of them into the hurricane with his remaining strength. So as to say, the monkey went up to the blades and was cut to a million pieces.
”Watch out Wakachamo-kun, I can’t stop this right now, you must flee or you will be hit!” She called out in an attempt to warn Wakachamo of the approaching danger.
One of the monkeys that chose to quit the fight picked him up and took him out of the way right in time, just as Runasutaru hit the other monkey, but it wasn’t sucked into the hurricane, it managed to run away.
“Now, anyone else want to mess with us?” Runasutaru asked threateningly.
”Bzzzt, bzzzt zzt!” They said as a way of declining the offer, and ran away as fast and far away as their legs could take them, even surpassing Sonic´s speed at the rate they were going. All of them ran except one, the one who had helped Wakachamo.
”Why did you...Why did you help us? After all, I just destroyed one of your friends...” She asked the small monkey robot.
”Bzzzt...I...bzzzt...Sick...bzzzzt...Boss...She evil...Kric...bzzzt...not evil...So Kric run away from evil friends...BZZZZZZZT! So I...Want...Come with you...” It managed to say with much interference in the middle, probably due to his damages on his back plate.
As Runasutaru noticed this, she replied.
”Well, I wish I could repair your back plate, but I can’t, I’m not a robotics expert. And we wouldn’t mind your company, the more, the merrier, as they say!”
So, they started walking, and Runasutaru and Kric supported Wakachamo since his damaged wing made him lose his balance.
Kric, knowing the jungle very well, led them to the other side of it, and they ended up right next to a cave blocked off with some stones.
“Now, how shall we open this thing? I know that this Angel Island Zone is different from the one in the games, but still, I bet some places simply got relocated. Maybe this is the 1st Special Stage ring cave! We MUST go in! Hmm, Wakachamo, since in this form you are a Flicky/Blaziken mix, maybe you can use Flamethrower on this thing to try and weaken the rocks?” Runasutaru asked.
”Yeah, I think so, But first, I need to figure out HOW to do that.” He sweatdropped and tried, and tried, and tried, and tried some more to spit some flames through his beak, and after some minutes, the air around him was getting hotter.
” I think you are almost there! Try some more!” Runasutaru cheered as Wakachamo started showing some signs of flames coming from his throat.
´Flames, flames, flames, I need to use Flamethrower...`
”AAACK, my throat! It burns!” He said as a jet of magma hot flames left his mouth and hit the rocks, melting them from the immense heat.
”Are you alright Wakachamo? Maybe you need to drink some water! Lessee if this form is STILL faithful to my-“ She started saying, but Kric cut her off as he had a bucket full of water in his hands.
“But... How? Oh, lemmee guess, there is a waterfall nearby right?” She asked, mostly to herself.
”Well, drink up!” She said as she gave it to Wakachamo.
He drank the whole bucket of water, and even though it made his throat feel better, his stomach complained a bit about it.
*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
His stomach let out a vacuum cleaner-like noise at the contact with the water, and water vapor started coming from his beak.
” I guess...I guess your heat pouches have been activated...” She loosely said, almost cracking up at the chicken that let out as much vapor through his beak as a water vapor powered train.
”Kric think he looks like a volcano...bzzzzzt...malfunctioning.” He said and the pair started staring at him, Runasutaru starting to crack up, but still with a “Your comment was REALLY freaky” look on her face, and Runasutaru’s glasses almost fell from his eyes by the way he was looking right down at the monkey, glaring but also sweatdropping , like he seems to do a lo these days.
”Well, let’s...HAHAHAHAHAHA! ...Go in then...” She said, laughing more than she ever had before in her life, helping Wakachamo to walk, and walking into the cave, followed by Kric.
They walked for a while, looking at the great scenery in front of their eyes.
The walls glowed the colours of the rainbow, the cave being completely lit up, with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other stones sticking out from the walls.
The ground had a rainbow pattern too, and Flickies of all colours flew around this glorious place of peace, and they followed their unexpected visitors.
They got to a little room with a barrier blocking the entrance.
As Runasutaru touched it, it started talking.
”Oh great ones who seek truth
You must lose a tooth
Also you must answer this riddle of fright
Feel its might and sight its light!” The barrier chanted and started telling the riddle.
”Presence of light, void of darkness
Without a pair, it cannot be seen
Surround it with darkness, and it will be mightier
Give it light, and it will still be there
I ask you, what invincible being is this?”
”You’ve got three times to guess, if you don’t guess the riddle by then, you will forever be banished from this cave.”
“If you guess it right, not only will you be able to enter this chamber, you will also get a reward.”
They were all quite afraid of what this being could do to them, also pondering about what kind of reward it would give them.
”Hmm... It seems like a description of a black hole, don’t you think?” Runasutaru whispered to the others.
”Yes, but think about it...A black hole doesn’t become mightier with darkness, it simply becomes invisible... And besides, what would be a black hole’s pair?”
”Kric thinks he knows, but he’ll think for a little longer to confirm this answer... Still, try it.”
”Ummmm, is it... A black hole?” Runasutaru guessed.
”NO!” The barrier screamed full force at her, and she almost fell back from the noise.
”No need to be so loud OK?” Runasutaru said as she held her head with her right hand, trying to ease the pain.
They stay there for a while, every single one of them thinking of an answer of their own, until Kric finally stood up and confiremed his thought.
”Kric knows! It is...__________” He answered.
”Very well, you have indeed guessed it right! Congratulations.” It started changing into another form, and now it pretty much looked like a rainbow dragon, explaining its mighty roar and cold voice.
”Since you were the one to guess it right, I will give YOU the reward.” A glow started to surround the dragon and it then went light speed and hit the robot monkey.
He started floating, and his shape was changing.
He started growing dragon wings that glowed the colour of the rainbow, and also his tail had a feather also having the same kind of glow clipped at its tip. His colour changed to a coal black. But the biggest change was that he was now a monkey made of flesh and bones, and not a robot! Also, a small dragon was at his feet, and it was so coal black it could be mistaken as Kric´s shadow, its eyes barely even visible.
”Hello, formerly possessed by evil one. My name is Soulkoraye and I shall be your guardian in this journey.”
”Now that the riddle has been solved and the change has been done, I shall teleport to the next chamber, in Hydrocity. I hope I will see you soon, and prepare, because I will have another riddle ready for you!” The riddle dragon said slightly excitedly as he teleported away, leaving the entrance to the chamber open.
”...Curious guy...” They all commented in unison, except Soulkoraye, who it seems was already used to this, and walked in.
As they walked in, something HUGE was in front of them, but the room was too dark to be able to distinguish exactly what it was. But, by instinct, Runasutaru acted.
"OOOOOOH, shiny ring!" She cooed as she looked at the huge Special Stage Ring.
"Let´s touch it!"
"No, Ru, DON´T TOUCH IT!" Wakachamo said.
After all, it could have not been a Special Stage Ring, but luckily for them, it was.
The Ring blinked, and Runasutaru and Wakachamo were surrounded with a rainbow aura and were sucked in, Kric and Soulkoraye being left behind because the Special Ring only allowed 2 people at a time inside the Special Stage.
They were being propelled through a rainbow tunnel, and images of all Special Stages in existence flashed from all sides. The people playing inside them were the freakiest part of it.
In the 14th Emerald stage image, we could see a Pikachu trying to grab the blue spheres, but always failing due to not having hands. So what it did was get a basket, and swung at them like in a golf game and getting them into the basket. And the rings he simply put on his tail, they never running away because the ring was crossing their holes.
In the 11th Emerald Stage, the Thundery card from Card Captor Sakura was having lots of problems, because every time it touched a blue sphere or a ring, it was destroyed. But on the other hand, the red spheres were also destroyed. What it was pondering was a way of getting to the Emerald without fulfilling the required criteria.
After seeing many more freaky scenarios in this rainbow journey, they arrived at the 1st Emerald Stage.
They were turned into small figures that fit the stage and the “Get the Blue Spheres” message fell was hung by a rope from above, but the person that was holding it let it slip from their hands and it fell on Runasutaru.
”OW, OW, OW, PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN! YOU BISH!” She screamed at the being.
”Sorry about that Runasutaru, I’ll try not to mess up next time...” It sighed and pulled the message back up.
”Well, I know this thing perfectly, and since you never played it, all you have to do is follow me and jump right after jump, got it? You don’t have to do ANYTHING else. I can do it by myself.” She told Wakachamo, who simply nodded at this and got ready.
The Special Stage started, and Runasutaru turned to the right, going through the trail of blue spheres, zigzagging through.
She went to a big group of blue spheres and caught only the ones at the extremes of the square, all the spheres she ran over turning red.
As she was going to finish the square maneuver and catch the rings, Wakachamo yelled out “Watch out, it’s a red sphere!”
This momentarily distracted Runasutaru, and if she wasn’t led on by habit and not by concentration, she would have messed up.
As she hit the last blue sphere, the whole group of spheres, both blue and red ones, turned into rings.
“How did you do that?” Wakachamo asked.
”This is one of the Special Stage tricks. Along with getting the Blue Spheres, if you get all Rings in a level, you get a bigger score. Also, if you get 50 Rings, you get a Continue. Now I think about it, we must be able to die and revive ourselves that way. I wonder how it works.” She told Wakachamo as she continued the Stage. She got the Rings, and proceeded on ending the Stage, with Wakachamo following her and jumping when needed.
When she caught the last blue sphere, all the objects were projected away into some kind of outer space, and the Chaos Emerald was up ahead.
”There’s a Chaos Emerald! You did a good job Wakachamo!” She happily said, and after getting the Emerald and leaving that place through the same rainbow tunnel, she hugged him tightly.
´I feel a warm sensation going through my body... It feels nice.` He thought, feeling very happy with himself and after some seconds, she let go of him.
”Come on, let’s leave this place then!” Runasutaru told the group and they all followed her out of the cave, the Flickies dispersed and stopped following them when they exited.
”Now I must close the chamber again friends, stay back.” Soulkoraye calmly whispered to the others.
It started floating, enveloped in a light blue glow. Soulkoraye closed his eyes and chanted something inaudible.
The molten rocks started going back to their original form, and closed the entrance to the cave once again.
It had done a good job, it looked like no one had entered it previously.
”Now I shall dissolve into a shadow of light...” And that was what Soulkoraye did.
He turned into a shadow and went behind Kric, mixing in with his shadow.
“Look at the sky, the Sun is setting already, we should rest somewhere.” Wakachamo pointed out, as the sky was becoming covered with pink and blue hues.
”Kric knows a good place where we can rest at, and it’s in the way to stop RoboKate!”
He announced, expected from someone who had been here since forever.
”Ride my back and Kric will fly us there.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While flying over a lake that was near the place they were just at, Runasutaru and Wakachamo looked at the sky.
It was beautiful, very beautiful, it almost looked like a dream setting.
The yellow glowing ball of fire called the Sun was still showering the green, muddy land with its warm sunny rays, and everything seemed like it glowed. Its light was becoming weaker every second that passed, as it hid behind the Angel Island’s horizon. The sky was full of many pleasing colours to the eye. It started with a cool blue shade directly over their heads, and as they looked down, it turned into shades of pink, red and yellow.
As Kric was landing, the sky was slowly turning dark, and the first stars revealed their nude perfect white light.
After a minute Kric landed in a patch of shiny green land with many flowers and bushes surrounding it.
”We have finally arrived at our destination guys. Now, who is going to do what?” Kric asked after the pair had gotten off his back.
”Well, since I’ve got my PWNAGE blades here with me, I can help with getting wood for a fire, but I wouldn’t mind company...” Runasutaru said, throwing a small, pleading, puppy dog eyes look in Wakachamo’s direction.
“Yes, of course.” He replied knowing what she was going to say next.
”Better move on then!” She clicked her square buttons and the two blades formed once again. They had been automatically withdrawn when they had entered the Special Stage.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Some minutes had passed, and with his new powers, Kric created some food to cook when Runasutaru and Wakachamo came back.
”Do you think they will like this Soulkoraye?” Kric asked his guardian shadow, not knowing the human eating preferences.
”Of course, they act so corny that as long as they are together, EVERYTHING tastes good. So don’t worry about that, they will.” It comforted its monkey friend.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
”OK GUYS, WE´RE BACK!” Runasutaru yelled, still some distance away from the small of patch of grass that was near the lake.
”Thanks for helping me carry this stuff Wakachamo-kun!” She thanked her friend.
”No problem.” He replied.
They arrived at the place Kric and Soulkoraye were at, and put the wood on the ground.
”Now, to cut this up to a smaller size...” Runasutaru focused and the trunks into many pieces, most of them almost identical.
They set up a fire, and ate the food Kric got, and indeed our friends liked it.(No, you will NEVER know what they ate. NEVER. MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! XD)
They chose Kric to guard the group because it seems he couldn’t get tired, and besides, he said he didn’t mind doing so, because he liked watching the stars.
”Oh yes, before I forget Wakachamo, let me heal your wounded wing.” Kric said, and just as he finished saying so, Wakachamo´s wing was back to normal.
”Oops, I had even forgot about that wound, thanks Kric, and have a good time watching the stars!” Wakachamo thanked and went to lay down to sleep, but remembered something.
He had no covers, blankets or a bed, so how would he sleep? Would he manage to sleep on the bare soil?
It seems he whispered that unconsciously, and Runasutaru heard it, so she decided to take action.
”Wakachamo, if ya want, ya can sleep with me, I don’t mind. We can also be each other’s blanket and pillow this way!” She offered in a way that seemed like she was being corny.
”I guess, if you really don’t mind...” He replied, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable.
”No, I don’t...” They cuddled up and fell asleep immediately. (Audience: AWWWWWWWWWWW! Ru:*Shoots all* Audience: X_X)
As they were there cuddled up together, comfortably sleeping, a falling star crossed the sky.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After what seemed like only some minutes of sleep, Wakachamo woke up to a VERY comfortable position.
It seems that over the night Kric had gotten a blanket for them, and they simply cuddled up together even more, if such was possible... They were hugging each other and they were as close to each other as two sardines in a can, and I mean two sardines in a VERY small can. They were so close they could even feel the other one breathing on their face.
Wakachamo slowly let go of Runasutaru, so as to not disturb their sleep, but he failed completely, as Runasutaru pulled him back into the hug.
She was muttering something practically inaudible in her sleep, but since he was very close to her mouth, he could understand what she said.
”Please, never, EVER leave me... Aishiteru...”(Aishiteru = I love you, in Japanese) She whispered very quietly, indeed still asleep. If she was pretending, she was pretending she was asleep VERY well.
”Well, Kric has got the feeling we should hurry up and continue walking to our net destination.” As he said this, Runasutaru finally woke up...
”... Huh, where am I?” She said still not having recollected her memory from yesterday that well.
”Inside the game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, remember?” Wakachamo answered.
”Oh, right...” She recollected her memories and got up, stretching just like a cat.
“Well, the fire has been extinguished, everyone is up... Hmm, maybe we should get some of that lake’s water?”
”Kric thinks it’s not a bad idea, because Kric won’t always be nearby to provide food and water.” Kric reasonably replied.
Kric got a recipient to put the water in, and took a quantity of it and put it inside it.
”Now, let’s start m-“ She was cut off as a green light surrounded them all and teleported them somewhere.
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*
It seems they were teleported to another zone of the Island, but this zone was on fire!
”What happened here?” Wakachamo asked nobody in particular, wondering about who could of done such a thing.
”Yep, this might not follow Sonic 3 & Knuckles’ level structure by letter, but it CERTAINLY has got the same plot... So, if we have been teleported this far...” She looks around and notices the palm trees.
”Now is the time to fight the mini boos of this Act...”
”Correct you slut.” Said a female voice from above.
She was riding a small flying transportation, with the shape of a woman’s face, from a Anime that some people know, Ghost in the Shell. The face was Motoko´s... She had navy blue hair and red eyes, which had always amazed Runasutaru, since her character had red eyes too.
”What the freaking hell? Kate?! YOU ARE THE ONE IN ROBOTNIK´S PLACE?!”
”My name is no longer that, I am now called RoboKate. Now slut, bow down to my power.” She rudely yelled at Runasutaru, with a disgusted look on her face.
“Why you...” Wakachamo gritted his teeth at this, getting ready to fry Kate’s evil butt.
”Meet... THE FLYING FIRE SPITTING BANANA!” She announced, and a banana the size of a palm tree crashed down on the ground, a red glow surrounding it.
Also, in that place where bananas are usually attached to the other ones on a tree, it had a gun instead.
It was the flamethrower!
”Now bishes, you will suffer!” She proclaimed, and flew away, to a place unknown by all but Runasutaru.
Runasutaru glared at her retreating back and readied her blades, which she had called the Can-openers.
”It’s time to kick some banana butt!” She yelled at her comrades.
”I’ll go for its back, while you guys go for the front!” She ordered.
”Okay!” Kric and Wakachamo replied in unison.
As Runasutaru changed her blades to Whack Mode, because it didn’t seem this one was cut able, she ran forward.
“BANZAAAAAAAAI!” She roared as she jumped and went to whack its butt gun full force, but unfortunately, she didn’t get there in time.
Right before she managed to make contact with the gun, it shot a jet of crimson flames at her!
”PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!” She screamed in pain, as she flew many meters up from the hotness of the fire.
From that height, she could see Lava Reef Zone was VERY far away from her current point.
´Hey, if I am this high up, if I come down to whack it...Heheheheheh...` She thought and prepared herself to dive down to the ground and whack the banana.
While she was diving down, Kric and Wakachamo were melting its front.
”PLEEEEEEEEEASEEEEEEE, STOP THE BURNING, I´LL DO ANYTHING. ANYTHING.” It said in a robotic voice.
”You were made by Kate, EVERYTHING made by her is a lying, cruel machine... YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. GOODBYE!” Wakachamo, almost TOO happily said, finishing off he melting job.
Right as he finished saying this, Runasutaru crashed down on the robot’s behind, and it fell apart to many, MANY pieces of molten metal.
”YATTA!” Runasutaru cheered and hugged Wakachamo.
”ACK...Ru, too tight again...” He said, almost suffocating from the power of the hug.
”Now... Soulkoraye, since you are a shadow being, I suppose you could basically envolve this being with your darkness and it will become a part of you in a way?”
”You are very knowledgeable about these things, daydreaming one.” It replied.
´But how...? I haven’t daydreamed lately... Freaky.` She thought, astonished at the shadow dragon’s comment.
It enveloped the piece of scrap with his shadow shape shifting body, and went back to being Kric´s shadow.
”Well, let’s continue this journey then guys!” Runasutaru said.
And they started walking to their next destination, Angel Island Zone, Act 2.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hawk Eye:
Hawk Eye:
"OOOOOOOOOOOH, WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO?" Wakachamo said, imitating Dee-Dee and reaaching for the button.
"HELL NO. WHATEVER YOU DO WAKACHAMO, DON´T PRESS THAT BUTTON!" Runasutaru begged.
That is all for now, expect updates every two days! ^__^
Also, there is a huge underscore in place of Kric´s answer because I want to see who can answer the riddle!
I hope someone has guessed it by the time I post the next chapter!
And the result was this Sonic 3 & Knuckles parody!
The usual genre is Parody/Humor/General, at times the general being Action/Adventure and also the overused cornyness that can also count as Romance. XDDDDDD
Now, some notes first...
First fanfic, but no need to care about that ya know?
And since I have made 3 chapters of this fic already, I´ll post em all in a row. ^__^
So, here it comes...
3 Runasutarus and a Knuckle Sandwich!
Summary:
Once, Runasutaru was at the computer and felt like playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles, but she had to go look for her Mega Drive (Genesis) to play it. When she found it, she started playing, but some things were wrong...

Prologue
Word Count:712, how pathetic. -_-;
Over MSN Messenger:
Runasutaru says:
~Hmm, I’m feeling like playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles Kite, I’ll see ya later! ^__^~
Kite says:
~Ok Ru! n_n~
~Runasutaru logged off~
Runasutaru turned off the computer, got up, and left the living room.
“Now I must find that **** Mega Drive...Lessee...” Runasutaru ranted as she walked to her brother’s room.
She entered it, and started searching for the Mega Drive in the mess of TCG cards her bro called a room.
Yodaspeed, her bro, had a small room. Its walls were white and had some paintings hanging.
At the entrance, you could find a long table covered with papers, cards, and more cards.
To the right of the entrance, you’d see his bed with MORE cards even on top of it.
There were two small spaces of floor both in front of his bed and behind it, covered with guess what? Cards and booster displays!
Near the bed and the table, a small TV was rested on top of a long legged and VERY small table.
Yes, her bro was a Trading Card Game maniac, and it annoyed her mom a lot because to clean up his room there was a lot of pain involved.
“Now, let’s look for that diabolical console...”
After 15 minutes of searching, she found it.
“YAY! Now to carry this to the living room and play it... No, wait, why did I even do this? I’ve got Sonic Mega Collection + for the X-Box!” Runasutaru slapped her forehead.
“Aw hell with it, might as well play Sonic 3 and Knuckles with this thing then...” She, while blushing a little, set up the Mega Drive.
“Now, let’s play! Gonna sweep the game with Tails again!” She happily cheered like she did this every single day of her life...And it seems she enjoyed doing so repetitively.
The screen went black, and the Sega logo blinked and flashed on the screen then faded out to a black screen again.
After that, the Title screen popped up, but Runasutaru noticed something was wrong, REALLY wrong...
Instead of Sonic showing up in the logo, SHE was there, and the person flying the plane was still Tails surprisingly.
“OMFreakin G!! What the hell is up with this thing?!” She asked herself outloud.
“It...it can’t be...ONE OF THE TITLE SCREEN´S PIXELS IS DISTORTED!” She smartly proclaimed.
´No stupid, it’s the character in the logo that is wrong!` Her subconscious, named Kuri, yelled at her.
“Hmm...Are ya sure? Oh yeah, you are right!”
´Great, now-`
”It’s not the title screen that is messed up, IT´S TAILS! He’s got an orangeish colour!"
Kuri “fell” Anime style at this remark.
´NO STUPID! YOU ARE IN THE **** LOGO. YOOOOOOOU!` He screamed at her like he’d lost his mind.
“Huh? Oh yeah, RIGHT! ...I KNEW THAT, I WAS JUST TESTING YOU!” She unconvincingly said.
After that, they stopped yelling at each other, and since Runasutaru liked seeing herself in there, she chose herself as a character instead.
The screen changed to a shower of tropical colours.There was a bright blue fox with a small red flying chicken at her side (Yes, it is wakachamo. MWAHAHAHAHAHA! XD), and they were darting towards a floating island, situated above an ocean in Mobius, Sonic’s home planet.
“Hmm, Angel Island Zone, such a fun place!” Runasutaru remarked after her game self was hit by Knuckles.
But once again, something was wrong. Knuckles was different than normal.
´Oh no, what happened to your game anyways Ru? See what Knuckles looks like? It’s horrendous, it’s scary, it’s SMELLY, he looks like... Like...` Kuri couldn´t fiish this sentence, because Knuckles was simply too horrible to describe.
“Yeah, I know! He... He CHANGED HIS HAIRSTYLE, WHOAMG!” Runasutaru yelled, her parents starting to worry about her already because she was talking to herself.
Kuri sighed.
´Dear readers, excuse my conscience’s stupidity... Now let’s see if I can manage to tell you what we see...It’s horrendous... What we see... Knuckles, he... HE IS A SANDWICH! WITH RED DREADLOCKS!` As he finishes this sentence, he has a breakdown and faints.
Runasutaru, completely ignoring Kuri’s commentary, continued the game, but when she pressed the buttons, the character wouldn’t move!
“Awwww man, now whaAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!” She yelled as she was sucked into the game.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angel Island Zone Act 1- Lost!
Word Count:1211
A portal opened and Runasutaru was sucked in, and she fell onto a familiar, yet unknown place, and hit her head in the process.
”Huh...Wha...? Where am I?” She slurred while in pain and fainted.
”Get up Ru! We need to go stop RoboKate!” Wakachamo, worriedly and hastily whispered and helped her up.
”...You’re right...” She drowsily said.
´Now, is it just me or this place looks familiar?` She thought, still not fully back to her senses.
There she was, with her partner Wakachamo, the red flying chicken.(XDDDDD)
They were under a waterfall with blue, clear, refreshing water, surrounded by all kinds of tropical flowers and plants. The ground was a little muddy, but it was alright to walk and run on. There were also many patches of lush green grass, tips of the leaves twinkling under the Sun’s light, spread out through this loamy soil, and a few palm trees with long and gracious yellow and green leaves, and rough skinned trunks, scattered at truly random places, one of them even was barely above ground level, and it was right next to our heroes, giving them a nice shade and freshness.
Under this shade, we can see our heroine has changed her shape.
She was now a Fox/Cat/Wolf/Lynx hybrid.
She was 157 cm tall, dark blue, with a fox tail, fox ears, furry body like a wolf’s, a cat-like body structure, a mix of lynx and wolf whiskers, and some parts of her body were skin coloured.
She wore a black shirt with a moon shape not very noticeably glowing under it, bright blue sports trousers, lime green shoes each one with two blue streaks running through, and two yellow gloves with a metal piece attached to the top of them.
She had something else too. She had a earring with a fake Sonic game sized emerald attached to a silver ring that was stuck to her ear, and also wore a golden chain-like necklace with a red bell hanging from it.
Wakachamo was a different story. He was Runasutaru’s best Internet friend, and it seems they liked, maybe even loved each other, even though they had never met in real life.(There goes FBN not knowing who it was that I liked. >_>; )In here, Wakachamo was a freaky mix of a Flicky and a Blaziken, a chicken-like Pokémon that knows martial arts. Basically, he was 150 cm tall, but he had some Flicky-like features. Per example, he had VERY short bird legs, so what he did most of the time was fly. Also, to rest for a while from long flights, he could shrink to Flicky size and land somewhere. He had a dark red colour, long orangeish hair, and a huge beak that could rip out your eye faster than Bugs Bunny can say “What’s up Doc?”. He also wore glasses that gave him a nerdy, but smart look. And he WAS smart.
They started walking, and it seems that blow to Runasutaru´s head made her become smart again. But, as always, when you hit your head HARD, something must happen.
...She lost her cap.
”OMG, WHERE IS MY PWETTY, PWEEEEETY CAP WAKACHAMO?!” She screamed at Wakachamo, shaking him by the neck, while hysterically crying Anime style.
”It’s...right...here...with...me, don’t...WORRY! SQUEAK!” He said pausing every single word, and squeaked loudly like a rubber duck.
”...Squeak? SQUEAK? THAT´S ALL YOU DO SAY AFTER STEALING MY CAP?! SQUEAK?!” She yelled and took her cap back and put it on.
“...Yes...Now stop squeezing me like that please...I’m suffocating!” He pleaded.
”Oh, sorry about that.” She said then hugged him as an apology.
”ACK! No...Too...TIGHT...” He then asked her to loosen it up a bit.
”...I am only messing up lately...” She said, and went to hide in a corner in sadness, but since this was a jungle, she found no corner and got lost.
´...Kuso! Why does she ALWAYS do this?` Wakachamo swore mentally and followed her.
Trailing after them was a robot monkey gang, startled by the noise the pair had created...
Runasutaru was in a clearing now, surrounded by many piled up rocks.She sighed. From all directions many trees creeped up above that there was only darkness and no light went through.
´Well, no use in moving from here, there are more chances of him finding me if I stay here.` She reasonably thought while she toyed with her necklace bell.
Nearby...
”RU! RU! WHERE ARE YOU?!” Wakachamo called for her, very worried about her safety while running through the jungle at top speed.
The monkeys were right behind him, but he didn’t notice that while in his blind search for the blue fox. They started throwing bombs at him.
”...Where is she?” He said while panting, still running, but slowing down a little.
´Got to fi-` His thoughts were interrupted as a bomb exploded near his feet.
”Oh ****! Got to hurry up, I can’t take them all on by myself!”
He ran and ran, dodging the bombs thrown at him, until he finally reached the clearing, and had to stop running due to a huge pile of rocks that was in his way, Runasutaru at the other side of it and he didn’t know.
”This is one tall wall! I can fly, let’s hope this stops them...GAAAAAAAAAH!” He yelled in pain when one of the bombs hit one of his wings.
´Got to find a ground opening...An opening... YES!` He mentally cheered as he saw a small opening between some rocks.
´I just need to shrink to Flicky size now!` He shrunk and ran through at top speed!
The group of robots hit the wall, most of them getting damaged beyond repair, but some of them stopped in time.
They started thinking about a way to jump over this obstacle, since the hole Wakachamo went through was too small.
They spotted some palm trees, and tried to think up something...
”...RU!” He happily cheered when he sighted her, just some distance away from him.
“......Wakachamo...?” She whispered in a broken voice, due to her sobbing.
”Your wing! What happened?!” She asked looking at the mess of feathers covered with blood.
He jumped into her arms, hugging her with one wing, and told her about the situation.
”...So, rabid robot monkeys are following us for no apparent reason? Well then...”
She got up and put him on her shoulder.
”We must call... THE GHOSTBUSTERS!” She announced, and Wakachamo heavily sweatdropped, falling from her shoulder because of the utter stupidity of the comment and because of his heavy laughing.
”OWWWWWWWW!” He cried.
”Oh, sorry about that! Like I said, everything I do comes out wrong, I just wanted to cheer you up a bit...” She said.
”Th-th-that´s alright, it didn’t hurt a lot... But promise me you won’t make me laugh that much any time sooner...” He replied while getting up, and started changing back to his former form.
”I think they stopped following us Ru, can we rest for a b-“ He was cut off as the robots were catapulted to the inside of the clearing!
”Stay back Wakachamo, I’ll take care of this, you are not in the condition to fight! But if any monkey comes through and I am not there, just rip its eyes off!” She said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angel Island Zone Act 1 -Special Stage madness and the freaky mini boss!
Word Count:4064
´Lessee, if this form is completely liable to my character design, then...` Runasutaru then pressed the buttons made of metal of both her gloves by making the two gloves hit each other in that place.
Two huge blades started forming from that metal square, and they were a bright blue glow at first, but then they started solidifying to blades that had the EXACT height as Runasutaru’s body. They looked like normal metal, but they had aluminum properties, therefore being very light, lighter than feathers, but they had the hardness of diamonds. This kind of steel is called the Buruminum, a special material created by Runasutaru herself. It also had a slight blue glow added to its metallic glow.
”YEEEEEEEEEEEEESH... Now for some cutting action!” She yelled, then smirked.
At the sight of those blades, some of the monkeys walked few steps back, but the ones programmed to be leaders stayed.
They were only two, and it seemed like an easy fight.
“OK then bots, you chose the wrong person to mess with! NYYYYYYYYYYYYAH!” She roared Runasutaru style, like a demon dragon.
”Void Hurricane!”
She ran forth and started accelerating, jumped and started spinning like a tornado, the blades creating a small huricane underneath her, sucking grass, bits of stones and mud into it. The hurricane also had a purple tint to it.
”Now for some PWNAGE sweeping!” She went forward in a straight line, being able to control her movements perfectly, and as they attempted to run away, Wakachamo quickly sprinted to their back and pushed one of them into the hurricane with his remaining strength. So as to say, the monkey went up to the blades and was cut to a million pieces.
”Watch out Wakachamo-kun, I can’t stop this right now, you must flee or you will be hit!” She called out in an attempt to warn Wakachamo of the approaching danger.
One of the monkeys that chose to quit the fight picked him up and took him out of the way right in time, just as Runasutaru hit the other monkey, but it wasn’t sucked into the hurricane, it managed to run away.
“Now, anyone else want to mess with us?” Runasutaru asked threateningly.
”Bzzzt, bzzzt zzt!” They said as a way of declining the offer, and ran away as fast and far away as their legs could take them, even surpassing Sonic´s speed at the rate they were going. All of them ran except one, the one who had helped Wakachamo.
”Why did you...Why did you help us? After all, I just destroyed one of your friends...” She asked the small monkey robot.
”Bzzzt...I...bzzzt...Sick...bzzzzt...Boss...She evil...Kric...bzzzt...not evil...So Kric run away from evil friends...BZZZZZZZT! So I...Want...Come with you...” It managed to say with much interference in the middle, probably due to his damages on his back plate.
As Runasutaru noticed this, she replied.
”Well, I wish I could repair your back plate, but I can’t, I’m not a robotics expert. And we wouldn’t mind your company, the more, the merrier, as they say!”
So, they started walking, and Runasutaru and Kric supported Wakachamo since his damaged wing made him lose his balance.
Kric, knowing the jungle very well, led them to the other side of it, and they ended up right next to a cave blocked off with some stones.
“Now, how shall we open this thing? I know that this Angel Island Zone is different from the one in the games, but still, I bet some places simply got relocated. Maybe this is the 1st Special Stage ring cave! We MUST go in! Hmm, Wakachamo, since in this form you are a Flicky/Blaziken mix, maybe you can use Flamethrower on this thing to try and weaken the rocks?” Runasutaru asked.
”Yeah, I think so, But first, I need to figure out HOW to do that.” He sweatdropped and tried, and tried, and tried, and tried some more to spit some flames through his beak, and after some minutes, the air around him was getting hotter.
” I think you are almost there! Try some more!” Runasutaru cheered as Wakachamo started showing some signs of flames coming from his throat.
´Flames, flames, flames, I need to use Flamethrower...`
”AAACK, my throat! It burns!” He said as a jet of magma hot flames left his mouth and hit the rocks, melting them from the immense heat.
”Are you alright Wakachamo? Maybe you need to drink some water! Lessee if this form is STILL faithful to my-“ She started saying, but Kric cut her off as he had a bucket full of water in his hands.
“But... How? Oh, lemmee guess, there is a waterfall nearby right?” She asked, mostly to herself.
”Well, drink up!” She said as she gave it to Wakachamo.
He drank the whole bucket of water, and even though it made his throat feel better, his stomach complained a bit about it.
*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
His stomach let out a vacuum cleaner-like noise at the contact with the water, and water vapor started coming from his beak.
” I guess...I guess your heat pouches have been activated...” She loosely said, almost cracking up at the chicken that let out as much vapor through his beak as a water vapor powered train.
”Kric think he looks like a volcano...bzzzzzt...malfunctioning.” He said and the pair started staring at him, Runasutaru starting to crack up, but still with a “Your comment was REALLY freaky” look on her face, and Runasutaru’s glasses almost fell from his eyes by the way he was looking right down at the monkey, glaring but also sweatdropping , like he seems to do a lo these days.
”Well, let’s...HAHAHAHAHAHA! ...Go in then...” She said, laughing more than she ever had before in her life, helping Wakachamo to walk, and walking into the cave, followed by Kric.
They walked for a while, looking at the great scenery in front of their eyes.
The walls glowed the colours of the rainbow, the cave being completely lit up, with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other stones sticking out from the walls.
The ground had a rainbow pattern too, and Flickies of all colours flew around this glorious place of peace, and they followed their unexpected visitors.
They got to a little room with a barrier blocking the entrance.
As Runasutaru touched it, it started talking.
”Oh great ones who seek truth
You must lose a tooth
Also you must answer this riddle of fright
Feel its might and sight its light!” The barrier chanted and started telling the riddle.
”Presence of light, void of darkness
Without a pair, it cannot be seen
Surround it with darkness, and it will be mightier
Give it light, and it will still be there
I ask you, what invincible being is this?”
”You’ve got three times to guess, if you don’t guess the riddle by then, you will forever be banished from this cave.”
“If you guess it right, not only will you be able to enter this chamber, you will also get a reward.”
They were all quite afraid of what this being could do to them, also pondering about what kind of reward it would give them.
”Hmm... It seems like a description of a black hole, don’t you think?” Runasutaru whispered to the others.
”Yes, but think about it...A black hole doesn’t become mightier with darkness, it simply becomes invisible... And besides, what would be a black hole’s pair?”
”Kric thinks he knows, but he’ll think for a little longer to confirm this answer... Still, try it.”
”Ummmm, is it... A black hole?” Runasutaru guessed.
”NO!” The barrier screamed full force at her, and she almost fell back from the noise.
”No need to be so loud OK?” Runasutaru said as she held her head with her right hand, trying to ease the pain.
They stay there for a while, every single one of them thinking of an answer of their own, until Kric finally stood up and confiremed his thought.
”Kric knows! It is...__________” He answered.
”Very well, you have indeed guessed it right! Congratulations.” It started changing into another form, and now it pretty much looked like a rainbow dragon, explaining its mighty roar and cold voice.
”Since you were the one to guess it right, I will give YOU the reward.” A glow started to surround the dragon and it then went light speed and hit the robot monkey.
He started floating, and his shape was changing.
He started growing dragon wings that glowed the colour of the rainbow, and also his tail had a feather also having the same kind of glow clipped at its tip. His colour changed to a coal black. But the biggest change was that he was now a monkey made of flesh and bones, and not a robot! Also, a small dragon was at his feet, and it was so coal black it could be mistaken as Kric´s shadow, its eyes barely even visible.
”Hello, formerly possessed by evil one. My name is Soulkoraye and I shall be your guardian in this journey.”
”Now that the riddle has been solved and the change has been done, I shall teleport to the next chamber, in Hydrocity. I hope I will see you soon, and prepare, because I will have another riddle ready for you!” The riddle dragon said slightly excitedly as he teleported away, leaving the entrance to the chamber open.
”...Curious guy...” They all commented in unison, except Soulkoraye, who it seems was already used to this, and walked in.
As they walked in, something HUGE was in front of them, but the room was too dark to be able to distinguish exactly what it was. But, by instinct, Runasutaru acted.
"OOOOOOH, shiny ring!" She cooed as she looked at the huge Special Stage Ring.
"Let´s touch it!"
"No, Ru, DON´T TOUCH IT!" Wakachamo said.
After all, it could have not been a Special Stage Ring, but luckily for them, it was.
The Ring blinked, and Runasutaru and Wakachamo were surrounded with a rainbow aura and were sucked in, Kric and Soulkoraye being left behind because the Special Ring only allowed 2 people at a time inside the Special Stage.
They were being propelled through a rainbow tunnel, and images of all Special Stages in existence flashed from all sides. The people playing inside them were the freakiest part of it.
In the 14th Emerald stage image, we could see a Pikachu trying to grab the blue spheres, but always failing due to not having hands. So what it did was get a basket, and swung at them like in a golf game and getting them into the basket. And the rings he simply put on his tail, they never running away because the ring was crossing their holes.
In the 11th Emerald Stage, the Thundery card from Card Captor Sakura was having lots of problems, because every time it touched a blue sphere or a ring, it was destroyed. But on the other hand, the red spheres were also destroyed. What it was pondering was a way of getting to the Emerald without fulfilling the required criteria.
After seeing many more freaky scenarios in this rainbow journey, they arrived at the 1st Emerald Stage.
They were turned into small figures that fit the stage and the “Get the Blue Spheres” message fell was hung by a rope from above, but the person that was holding it let it slip from their hands and it fell on Runasutaru.
”OW, OW, OW, PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN! YOU BISH!” She screamed at the being.
”Sorry about that Runasutaru, I’ll try not to mess up next time...” It sighed and pulled the message back up.
”Well, I know this thing perfectly, and since you never played it, all you have to do is follow me and jump right after jump, got it? You don’t have to do ANYTHING else. I can do it by myself.” She told Wakachamo, who simply nodded at this and got ready.
The Special Stage started, and Runasutaru turned to the right, going through the trail of blue spheres, zigzagging through.
She went to a big group of blue spheres and caught only the ones at the extremes of the square, all the spheres she ran over turning red.
As she was going to finish the square maneuver and catch the rings, Wakachamo yelled out “Watch out, it’s a red sphere!”
This momentarily distracted Runasutaru, and if she wasn’t led on by habit and not by concentration, she would have messed up.
As she hit the last blue sphere, the whole group of spheres, both blue and red ones, turned into rings.
“How did you do that?” Wakachamo asked.
”This is one of the Special Stage tricks. Along with getting the Blue Spheres, if you get all Rings in a level, you get a bigger score. Also, if you get 50 Rings, you get a Continue. Now I think about it, we must be able to die and revive ourselves that way. I wonder how it works.” She told Wakachamo as she continued the Stage. She got the Rings, and proceeded on ending the Stage, with Wakachamo following her and jumping when needed.
When she caught the last blue sphere, all the objects were projected away into some kind of outer space, and the Chaos Emerald was up ahead.
”There’s a Chaos Emerald! You did a good job Wakachamo!” She happily said, and after getting the Emerald and leaving that place through the same rainbow tunnel, she hugged him tightly.
´I feel a warm sensation going through my body... It feels nice.` He thought, feeling very happy with himself and after some seconds, she let go of him.
”Come on, let’s leave this place then!” Runasutaru told the group and they all followed her out of the cave, the Flickies dispersed and stopped following them when they exited.
”Now I must close the chamber again friends, stay back.” Soulkoraye calmly whispered to the others.
It started floating, enveloped in a light blue glow. Soulkoraye closed his eyes and chanted something inaudible.
The molten rocks started going back to their original form, and closed the entrance to the cave once again.
It had done a good job, it looked like no one had entered it previously.
”Now I shall dissolve into a shadow of light...” And that was what Soulkoraye did.
He turned into a shadow and went behind Kric, mixing in with his shadow.
“Look at the sky, the Sun is setting already, we should rest somewhere.” Wakachamo pointed out, as the sky was becoming covered with pink and blue hues.
”Kric knows a good place where we can rest at, and it’s in the way to stop RoboKate!”
He announced, expected from someone who had been here since forever.
”Ride my back and Kric will fly us there.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While flying over a lake that was near the place they were just at, Runasutaru and Wakachamo looked at the sky.
It was beautiful, very beautiful, it almost looked like a dream setting.
The yellow glowing ball of fire called the Sun was still showering the green, muddy land with its warm sunny rays, and everything seemed like it glowed. Its light was becoming weaker every second that passed, as it hid behind the Angel Island’s horizon. The sky was full of many pleasing colours to the eye. It started with a cool blue shade directly over their heads, and as they looked down, it turned into shades of pink, red and yellow.
As Kric was landing, the sky was slowly turning dark, and the first stars revealed their nude perfect white light.
After a minute Kric landed in a patch of shiny green land with many flowers and bushes surrounding it.
”We have finally arrived at our destination guys. Now, who is going to do what?” Kric asked after the pair had gotten off his back.
”Well, since I’ve got my PWNAGE blades here with me, I can help with getting wood for a fire, but I wouldn’t mind company...” Runasutaru said, throwing a small, pleading, puppy dog eyes look in Wakachamo’s direction.
“Yes, of course.” He replied knowing what she was going to say next.
”Better move on then!” She clicked her square buttons and the two blades formed once again. They had been automatically withdrawn when they had entered the Special Stage.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Some minutes had passed, and with his new powers, Kric created some food to cook when Runasutaru and Wakachamo came back.
”Do you think they will like this Soulkoraye?” Kric asked his guardian shadow, not knowing the human eating preferences.
”Of course, they act so corny that as long as they are together, EVERYTHING tastes good. So don’t worry about that, they will.” It comforted its monkey friend.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
”OK GUYS, WE´RE BACK!” Runasutaru yelled, still some distance away from the small of patch of grass that was near the lake.
”Thanks for helping me carry this stuff Wakachamo-kun!” She thanked her friend.
”No problem.” He replied.
They arrived at the place Kric and Soulkoraye were at, and put the wood on the ground.
”Now, to cut this up to a smaller size...” Runasutaru focused and the trunks into many pieces, most of them almost identical.
They set up a fire, and ate the food Kric got, and indeed our friends liked it.(No, you will NEVER know what they ate. NEVER. MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! XD)
They chose Kric to guard the group because it seems he couldn’t get tired, and besides, he said he didn’t mind doing so, because he liked watching the stars.
”Oh yes, before I forget Wakachamo, let me heal your wounded wing.” Kric said, and just as he finished saying so, Wakachamo´s wing was back to normal.
”Oops, I had even forgot about that wound, thanks Kric, and have a good time watching the stars!” Wakachamo thanked and went to lay down to sleep, but remembered something.
He had no covers, blankets or a bed, so how would he sleep? Would he manage to sleep on the bare soil?
It seems he whispered that unconsciously, and Runasutaru heard it, so she decided to take action.
”Wakachamo, if ya want, ya can sleep with me, I don’t mind. We can also be each other’s blanket and pillow this way!” She offered in a way that seemed like she was being corny.
”I guess, if you really don’t mind...” He replied, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable.
”No, I don’t...” They cuddled up and fell asleep immediately. (Audience: AWWWWWWWWWWW! Ru:*Shoots all* Audience: X_X)
As they were there cuddled up together, comfortably sleeping, a falling star crossed the sky.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After what seemed like only some minutes of sleep, Wakachamo woke up to a VERY comfortable position.
It seems that over the night Kric had gotten a blanket for them, and they simply cuddled up together even more, if such was possible... They were hugging each other and they were as close to each other as two sardines in a can, and I mean two sardines in a VERY small can. They were so close they could even feel the other one breathing on their face.
Wakachamo slowly let go of Runasutaru, so as to not disturb their sleep, but he failed completely, as Runasutaru pulled him back into the hug.
She was muttering something practically inaudible in her sleep, but since he was very close to her mouth, he could understand what she said.
”Please, never, EVER leave me... Aishiteru...”(Aishiteru = I love you, in Japanese) She whispered very quietly, indeed still asleep. If she was pretending, she was pretending she was asleep VERY well.
”Well, Kric has got the feeling we should hurry up and continue walking to our net destination.” As he said this, Runasutaru finally woke up...
”... Huh, where am I?” She said still not having recollected her memory from yesterday that well.
”Inside the game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, remember?” Wakachamo answered.
”Oh, right...” She recollected her memories and got up, stretching just like a cat.
“Well, the fire has been extinguished, everyone is up... Hmm, maybe we should get some of that lake’s water?”
”Kric thinks it’s not a bad idea, because Kric won’t always be nearby to provide food and water.” Kric reasonably replied.
Kric got a recipient to put the water in, and took a quantity of it and put it inside it.
”Now, let’s start m-“ She was cut off as a green light surrounded them all and teleported them somewhere.
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*
It seems they were teleported to another zone of the Island, but this zone was on fire!
”What happened here?” Wakachamo asked nobody in particular, wondering about who could of done such a thing.
”Yep, this might not follow Sonic 3 & Knuckles’ level structure by letter, but it CERTAINLY has got the same plot... So, if we have been teleported this far...” She looks around and notices the palm trees.
”Now is the time to fight the mini boos of this Act...”
”Correct you slut.” Said a female voice from above.
She was riding a small flying transportation, with the shape of a woman’s face, from a Anime that some people know, Ghost in the Shell. The face was Motoko´s... She had navy blue hair and red eyes, which had always amazed Runasutaru, since her character had red eyes too.
”What the freaking hell? Kate?! YOU ARE THE ONE IN ROBOTNIK´S PLACE?!”
”My name is no longer that, I am now called RoboKate. Now slut, bow down to my power.” She rudely yelled at Runasutaru, with a disgusted look on her face.
“Why you...” Wakachamo gritted his teeth at this, getting ready to fry Kate’s evil butt.
”Meet... THE FLYING FIRE SPITTING BANANA!” She announced, and a banana the size of a palm tree crashed down on the ground, a red glow surrounding it.
Also, in that place where bananas are usually attached to the other ones on a tree, it had a gun instead.
It was the flamethrower!
”Now bishes, you will suffer!” She proclaimed, and flew away, to a place unknown by all but Runasutaru.
Runasutaru glared at her retreating back and readied her blades, which she had called the Can-openers.
”It’s time to kick some banana butt!” She yelled at her comrades.
”I’ll go for its back, while you guys go for the front!” She ordered.
”Okay!” Kric and Wakachamo replied in unison.
As Runasutaru changed her blades to Whack Mode, because it didn’t seem this one was cut able, she ran forward.
“BANZAAAAAAAAI!” She roared as she jumped and went to whack its butt gun full force, but unfortunately, she didn’t get there in time.
Right before she managed to make contact with the gun, it shot a jet of crimson flames at her!
”PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!” She screamed in pain, as she flew many meters up from the hotness of the fire.
From that height, she could see Lava Reef Zone was VERY far away from her current point.
´Hey, if I am this high up, if I come down to whack it...Heheheheheh...` She thought and prepared herself to dive down to the ground and whack the banana.
While she was diving down, Kric and Wakachamo were melting its front.
”PLEEEEEEEEEASEEEEEEE, STOP THE BURNING, I´LL DO ANYTHING. ANYTHING.” It said in a robotic voice.
”You were made by Kate, EVERYTHING made by her is a lying, cruel machine... YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. GOODBYE!” Wakachamo, almost TOO happily said, finishing off he melting job.
Right as he finished saying this, Runasutaru crashed down on the robot’s behind, and it fell apart to many, MANY pieces of molten metal.
”YATTA!” Runasutaru cheered and hugged Wakachamo.
”ACK...Ru, too tight again...” He said, almost suffocating from the power of the hug.
”Now... Soulkoraye, since you are a shadow being, I suppose you could basically envolve this being with your darkness and it will become a part of you in a way?”
”You are very knowledgeable about these things, daydreaming one.” It replied.
´But how...? I haven’t daydreamed lately... Freaky.` She thought, astonished at the shadow dragon’s comment.
It enveloped the piece of scrap with his shadow shape shifting body, and went back to being Kric´s shadow.
”Well, let’s continue this journey then guys!” Runasutaru said.
And they started walking to their next destination, Angel Island Zone, Act 2.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hawk Eye:
Hawk Eye:
"OOOOOOOOOOOH, WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO?" Wakachamo said, imitating Dee-Dee and reaaching for the button.
"HELL NO. WHATEVER YOU DO WAKACHAMO, DON´T PRESS THAT BUTTON!" Runasutaru begged.
That is all for now, expect updates every two days! ^__^
Also, there is a huge underscore in place of Kric´s answer because I want to see who can answer the riddle!
I hope someone has guessed it by the time I post the next chapter!
