Homework 28/9/16

Task 1: “And this man
Is now become a god, and Cassius is
A wretched creature and must bend his body,
If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.”

The quote explains how Cassius feels that Caesar should not be king because he doesn’t deserve it.

“I was born free as Caesar; so were you:
We both have fed as well, and we can both
Endure the winter’s cold as well as he:”

Here Cassius is implying that Caesar is no better than Brutus or himself because they were born and raised in the same way.

“Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world” 

In the quote Cassius feels that someone as “feeble” as Caesar hasn’t got what it takes to rule over a country like Rome.

“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.”

Cassius is explaining to Brutus about the way Caesar views Roman citizens, he stands tall above all and crushes anyone who dares to oppose him.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

The quote explains that Caesar is Emperor not because they were unlucky but because they decide not to change the situation, Cassius is trying to persuade Brutus to do something instead of just being a bystander.

Task 3:

Shakespeare conveys Cassius’ feelings by constantly comparing himself and Brutus to Caesar for example “Brutus and Caesar: what should be in that ‘Caesar’?
Why should that name be sounded more than yours?” He’s repeatedly questioning Caesar’s superiority by proving that he and Caesar are the same. This leads you to believe that Cassius deserves the role of emperor just as much as Caesar does.

Julius Caesar Act 1 scene 2

In scene 2 Julius Caesar was preparing to speak with his followers however he was interrupted by a soothsayer who tried to warn him about the “ides of March” although Caesar disregarded him and called him a “dreamer” implying that he was far too powerful to be harmed. After he left Cassius and Brutus expressed their fears. “I do fear, the people
choose Caesar for their king.” Brutus, despite being respected by Caesar, dislikes the notion of Caesar becoming king while Cassius wants to overthrow Caesar for personal reasons and tries to persuade Brutus to betray Caesar by comparing the two. “Brutus and Caesar: what should be in that ‘Caesar’? Why should that name be sounded more than yours? Write them together, yours is as fair a name; Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well; Weigh them, it is as heavy; conjure with ’em, Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Caesar. Now, in the names of all the gods at once, Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, That he is grown so great?” Cassius also tries to persuade him by motivating him. “Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” Afterwards Julius expresses his power and insults Cassius by saying “Would he were fatter!” Implying that Cassius would have to be more powerful before he would be a threat he insults him further “So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much; He is a great observer and he looks Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays, As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music;” here he implies that Cassius is not a true roman and is a man who doesn’t appreciate art and music.

Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 3

In act 3 Cassius is trying to gain followers and persuade them to betray Caesar“Tis Cinna; I do know him by his gait;
He is a friend.” In this quote he is introducing Cinna, a friend who believes in Cassuis’ cause. Cassius’ plan is to start something small with the commoners“Those that with haste will make a mighty fire. Begin it with weak straws.” However he wants Brutus’ because of the fact that Brutus is “noble” and therefore people will listen to him. He plans to use the bad weather and blame it on Caesar so that people will be willing to betray Caesar. While Brutus does agree with Cassius with wanting to overthrow Caesar he had no personal reason to resent Caesar and therefore no reason to betray him.

Diary of that guy who was watching a battle.

Dear diary,

The most intense battle of history just happened, it had explosions, flaming arrows and sword clashes.

The weather was sunny with butterflies (ironic I know), you could hear the footsteps of the armies from a mile away. At the front the captins on their leading their armies followed by the swords men behind them there was the cavalry, after them there are the cannons and finally the archers with their intense sniping skills. There were at least 10,000 men on each side both charging at each other. Macbeth’s side rushed headfirst into battle meanwhile the archers and cannons stayed at the back launching flaming arrows and bombs at the enemy. On the other side, the enemy had formed a shield wall although the cannon fire easily broke through allowing Macbeth and his army to advance easily while the archers took out the Cavaliers leaving a clear to the enemy archers, cannons, swordsmen and their leader. From then on it was an all out sword fight between the remaining swordsmen and the two captains. One by one soldiers fell as Macbeth fought the captain of the enemy army, of course Macbeth won (mainly because he fought with two swords but that’s besides the point). By the time they finished there were giant craters all over the battle field, only ones left standing were Macbeth and Banquo (their armies had gone home).

So yeaaaaa  that’s what happened

Da end

Scene 1 setup

Dear Sir,

I would like to discuss the play and the props and costumes I will be using throughout the play.

Scene 1

Props

The three witches will each have a brown wand with an orb sitting on top, each of them a different colour, the first witch will have a black orb on her wand the second will have a blue and the third a yellow orb on her wand. The first witch will also have a magic broomstick that she will be sitting on and the second witch will have an umbrella. Their animal spirits will be holograms and will appear by their side near the end of the scene.

Staging

The stage will look like a forest clearing, with three paths leading away from the centre, from there is where the witches will enter and exit. The floor will be

Sci fi origins

Believe it or not, the idea of living a fantasy world dates back to the Roman times. Stories like Metamorphoses talked about the creation of the world in 8 AD where science was unheard of. In fact in 2000 BE the first ever piece of fiction writing happened to be of the sci-fi genre. It was named Epic of Gilgamesh. Despite the lack of technology the story had many of the features of a modern sci fi story such as post apocalyptic scenes

Project Shadow: The third creation

CHAPTER 1

Location: Prison Island

Time: 19:00

“Guarding this milatairy weapon is such a bore,” sighed one of the guards

“I know, what’s the point, nobody knows about it.” the other replied

“They say it’s for the blue hedgehog, you know, the famous one, they’re not sure if he’ll turn against us so they’ve been recreating an ultimate life-form based on the design of the second life form.”

“The blue hedgehog is on our side, right?”

“I’LL ANSWER THAT FOR YOU!!” Shouted a fat, egg shaped man with a moustache.

“STAND DOWN OR PREPARED TO BE QUICK BLASTED!”

“Oh hohohohoh your pea shooters are no match for me and my ally,”

Moments after he said that a metallic blue hedgehog walked beside the mysterious man and a bright red ball of light appeared on its chest.

“FIRE!!”

“Arggghhh!”

KABOOM

“Told you they were useless” he said as him and his blue friend walked into the building.

“SIR WE HAVE A BREACH IN SECTOR 10 BY THE RESEARCH LABORATORY” shouted one the operators

“He must be trying to get to the weapon, LOCK THIS PLACE DOWN AND SEND THE SECURITY DROIDS!” The commander shouted.

“YES SIR” they all replied

Soon there were hundreds of robots with blasters racing to the intruders location. “Seriously they think they can stop me with their mediocre technology? Ha pathetic. Metal get rid of these idiots.”

“Give up or be destr-” groaned a droid before it was vaporized along with the other droids.

“Hohoho too easy, next stop the research lab” the egg shaped man laughed.

“SIR HE’S GOT THROUGH THE DEFENCES!”

“What impossible, those were the most advanced droids in the world and he’s gotten through them so easily, who is he?” The commander stated, stunned by the power of the man and his ally.

“He has tech that not even our top scientists have been able to perfect, he seems to have some sort of floating transportation device and a blue hedgehog but we’re not sure if it’s him,” stated an operator.

“We must do something commander.”

“I’m afraid that it’s too late for that hahaha!” Taunted the egg man joined by the blue hedgehog. “I’ve already got the ultimate life form, anyway later haters hohohoho” he laughed as he and his ally flew off into the distance, a capsule floating right behind him. “That ignorant blue hedgehog might have the second one on his side but I’ve got the best version with me. Nothing can stop me now, not even him…”

Location: Angel Island

Time: 12:00

“Hey Sonic, wake up.” Said a two tailed fox.

“Go away Tails,” Sonic replied.

“It’s important!”

“I’m not getting up.”

“GET UP OR I’LL BLOW YOU UP!” Screamed the 11 year old fox while holding a bomb. Sonic and Tails were best friends ever since they first met. Tails also happened to be:

  • An ace pilot
  • A mechanic
  • An inventor
  • A cunning strategist
  • A programmer
  • And a master at blowing stuff up as you’re about to witness here

“Still not getting up.”

Sizzle

BOOM

“Why you little-” grumbled an annoyed blue hedgehog. He wore the same white gloves and red and white shoes everyday.

“I’M GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT!!” Sonic and Tails were like brothers to each other. They each covered up for each other’s weaknesses for example Sonic’s disability of thinking ahead.

“Hah take this,” he exclaimed before performing one of his signature moves, the spin dash. He curled up into a ball and launched himself at Tails…

And hit a tree. “Ow my head.” He moaned. Unfortunately he also cut into some of the tree causing it to fall onto him. “Well, we all know this isn’t going to end well.” He sighed while he broke the fourth wall.

CRASH

Sometimes however Sonic has to be the one to get everyone out of trouble when him and his friends are in trouble because of his quick thinking.

“Woah, now that’s living on the edge.” Sonic said to himself. He used the power of the chaos emerald he had to warp away from the tree. If he waited any longer he would have been crushed.

“Now to find Tails.” He mumbled under his breath before blasting off .

Two seconds later

Tails hovered over the ground at high speed with Sonic close behind. “You’ll never outrun me Tails, I’m the fastest thing alive!” Sonic shouted. One of Sonic’s biggest weaknesses is the fact that he can’t swim or fly unlike Tails who can use his twin tails like a propeller or turbine.

“Too bad you can’t fly” Tails chuckled to himself. His plan was working. Soon they reached the edge of the island. Knowing that Sonic wouldn’t have time to stop, Tails spun his tails at a high speed and took off into the sky. “Wait why did he just start flying.” Sonic wondered “uh oh.” Sonic tried to stop but he was too late and he ran right off the island. “Oh shoooo- ow.” And fell onto a jet.

“SIR, WE HAVE THE BLUE HEDGEHOG!” Shouted one of the pilots.

“Wait what’s going on?”

“Sonic you’re under arrest for attacking and stealing from a top secret base.” Replied the commander. “And bring your fox friend too.”

“Hey Sonic, what’s going on?” Asked the fox who had come down to see what was going on.

“You’re both under arrest.” Tails however was not paying attention and was horrified by the terrible design of the jets. “What, the heck, are those?” He said with a disgusted expression on his face. “They are barely able to fly and they aren’t even traveling close to sound speed, all of my planes can go at least 765 mph.” He criticised but alas it was true, their altitude was constantly fluctuating and they were barely over 500 mph.

“Hey didn’t you hear what I said, YOU’RE UNDER ARREST!!” The commander exclaimed.

“Oh hohoho, the first phase of my brilliant plan is complete. Now that Sonic’s arrested, I can wreck more havoc but first, I must frame Shadow. Break into the jewellery store in Station Square.” Stated a fat egg shaped man. “As you wish doctor.” The amber eyed figure replied “It’s the least I can do after you freed me from my prison.” He continued before warping to his required location.

CHAPTER 2

 

Location: G.U.N Headquarters

Time: 14:00

“I’m telling you. I don’t know anything, it must be Dr. Eggman.”

Sonic and Tails were inside an interrogation room with a G.U.N. agent who was trying to get information out of them through torture.

“We haven’t got time for this kid. Eggman’s been missing for months so tell us the truth or else.” Commanded the agent with his finger hovering over the button. “There’s nothing to tell I’m innocent,”

Beep

A pink hedgehog on a conveyor belt moved forward a few centimetres. “TELL US THE TRUTH OR YOU’LL BE FORCED TO KISS AMY ROSE!”

“No not that ANYTHING would be better than having to kiss Amy!” Amy Rose, aka Sonic’s stalker signed up to the job after she heard that she was going to kiss Sonic. She wore the usual, a red head band and a red dress to go along with it. Her shoes were red with a white stripe going down the middle of each shoe. “So Sonic, have you changed your mind?”

“Like I said I don’t know anything about the break in at Prison Island.”

“Well since you won’t tell us I guess she’ll have to kiss you :3”

Sonic leaned back in his chair until he couldn’t lean any further. Amy Rose slowly leaned forward and was about to kiss him until…

“We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the latest news live from the Station Square Jewellery store.” Everyone turned their attention to the screen. “Eye witnesses say that Shadow the hedgehog was behind the robbery.” Behind the reporter there was a black hedgehog trying to get to the gemstone in a small glaas case. “Well that’s my que guys cya, c’mon Tails get your Xtreme Gear and let’s get outta here.” Sonic said enthusiastically. The difference between Extreme Gear and Xtreme Gear was that Xtreme Gear was more advanced as it was the latest in hoverboard tech. It was a lot smaller than the previous model which was really thick with a small flat area on the top of a curved surface. The new design however was shaped more like a board on the back it had small wings that pointed downwards, underneath were two black circles which kept the board afloat. However since Tails redesigned the board for Sonic it had some extra changes. Unlike most boards Sonic’s had two rectangular engines that hovered beside it and on those engines he had fitted two pairs of wings in an X pattern. Tails board was exactly the same except for his engines only having one pair of wings and the fact that his board was yellow instead of blue with a white trim around the edge.

Soon Sonic and Tails were on the streets of Station Square racing to the crime scene.

Meanwhile

Location: Who Knows?

Time: 14:00

“I’ve hired you goons to retrieve the stolen emerald and return it to me, all the commotion outside should give you the perfect cover so you can sneak in from the back.” 

“Yes sir,” the three figures replied “We won’t fail”

“You better not or you won’t get your share, you’re dismissed.”

Meanwhile (again)

Location: Dr Eggman’s old pyramid base

Time: 14:00

“Eye witnesses say that Shadow the hedgehog was behind the robbery.” A radio said

“Someone is trying to frame me.” A black and red hedgehog mumbled to himself “But who could it be? I’d better see what’s going on.” He continued before jumping off a roof and onto a motorcycle…

Location: Station Square Jewellery

Time: 14:00 and exactly 7 seconds

“I hope we’re not too late.” Sonic muttered.

When they arrived they were greeted by a large crowd, at first they expected to hear the sound of people cheering but all he heard were the sounds of people booing and hissing at the once proud heroes of America and the world. “Live from the scene of the robbery we are joined by the same criminal that stole a top secret project, Sonic the hedgehog.” A reporter reported (duh it’s her job)

“Like I’ve said before IT WASN’T ME!!” Sonic screamed into the microphone “Now if you excuse me, I’ve got an ultimate life form to deal with,” he stated smugly before throwing Tails an amber chaos emerald. He gladly accepted it as he knew that Shadow was a formidable. Before long, they had entered the small building. However in the building was a large vault which was open. As soon as they walked in the door behind them suddenly closed.

Meanwhile three figures snuck in through the back door. “No one was guarding the back door just as the doctor predicted.” One of them whispered. When they entered they immediately found what they were looking for. “Look there’s the vault.” Another figure whispered. The vault door started glowing a faint yellow before it started closing. However because of the fact that they were the rivals of some of the fastest things alive they easily made it inside the dark vault before they hid themselves.

“HEY SHADOW WHERE ARE YOU?” shouted Sonic. Sonic and Tails started looking around but when Sonic and Tails turned around they were shocked when they were greeted by bright yellow eyes instead of the red ones they were expecting. “Whoa!” Shouted Tails who was startled by the sudden appearance of the yellow eyes. They then jumped back several meters as Sonic got into a battle stance while Tails had his arm canon, locked and loaded. “Who do you think that guy is?” said one of the hired goons on the side line. As Sonic looked closer he could see that he was very similar to Shadow. However every where Shadow would usually have red fur was instead replaced with yellow and unlike Shadow this hedgehog had three quills that sprouted from the back of his head and faced forward with a yellow highlight on each one instead of red. “Just who are you?” Asked Sonic…

CHAPTER 3

Just who are you?” Sonic asked. Suddenly, a surge of electricity filled the room turning on every light in the room. This finally allowed Sonic and Tails to get a good look at their opponent. The unknown hedgehog was wearing black fingerless gloves with yellow circles on his palms and the back of his hands, his chest was also bare with no fur covering it similar to Sonic’s. He also wore two power inhibitors (the gold rings Shadow wears on his wrists) on his ankles and wrists and on his feet he had two black and yellow shoes. “Who am I?” The mysterious character replied. “I am Static, Static the hedgehog.” Judging by his voice Sonic concluded that the hedgehog was about his own age. “The doctor told me about you Sonic, about how you want to take over the world by using the power of the Chaos emeralds.”

“Say whaaaa?” a confused blue hedgehog questioned

“Speaking of emeralds I suppose your looking for this.” Static said while holding a glowing, red gem. “Well you aren’t getting your hands on it, I’m taking this to the capable hands of Dr Eggman where he can use them for good.” Static continued.

“So Dr Eggman is behind this after all.” Said the intelligent Fox.

“You must be Tails, Dr Eggman told me how cunning and smart you can be and how you’re the brains behind you and Sonic’s crazy schemes.”

“Don’t you get it? Dr Eggman is the real bad guy, he’s only using you to get what he wants.”

“Why would he do that, he saved me from the people who tried to use me to take over the world.” Static countered, “that’s why I only trust him with the emerald. I can always be sure that he’ll use them to benefit everyone.”

“Well since you’re not going to give us the emerald I guess we’re gonna have to fight for it” Sonic stated before getting into a battle stance while Tails activated his red arm cannon ready to fire.

“Ready?” Asked Sonic

“I’m all set” Tails replied.

“It looks like they’re all fighting over the emerald.” A figure commented”

“Great, during the battle the emerald would be unguarded and free for us to take.” Another figure replied.

“We should wait a little, they might have more of those powerful gems.” A third figure replied.

Tails made the first move. He fired two energy balls straight at the enemy and they made direct contact causing an explosion filling the room with smoke. At first Tails smiled at such an easy victory but when the smoke cleared his smile quickly faded. Static still stood there unfazed the energy blasts. “Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, energy blasts don’t hurt me, one of the perks of being the ultimate life form.” He informed. Using his telekinesis he picked up Tails and threw him into a wall where he fell unconscious dropping his emerald. “TAILS!” Sonic shouted.

“He’s fine.” Static assured.

Sonic turned to Static ready to continue the battle. This time Static started first shooting electronic pulses of energy out of his hand which Sonic effortlessly dodged, taunting him with hand stands and back flips. He then ran at Static ready to punch him but his fist instead connected with another, soon their arms became a blur of black and blue until Sonic took his chance and ducked before returning a blow to the stomach and sending Static flying, however he quickly regained his balance.

“Not bad,” he commented

“Not bad yourself.” Sonic replied

Sonic then jumped into the air and started spinning. An aura of blue formed around him as he charged up his homing attack. “There’s no way he can get out of this” he said to himself. Or so he thought. Sonic dashed at Static from the air in a ball form and connected with something that wasn’t his opponent. When he came out of his attack he saw that there was a translucent yellow dome between him and his enemy. “Nice one,” the blue blur complimented. “You’re not getting through this one any time soon,” the enemy replied. Determined, Sonic tried again and again to penetrate the barrier but like Static, said he wasn’t getting through any time soon and just as he suspected Sonic eventually gave up. However what he didn’t expect was a red punching glove to pop out of the ground and hit him in the chin causing him to lose focus which in turn caused his force field to disintegrate. They both looked at Tails who was controlling the “magic fist” with his mind, he tried to strike his opponent again but Static wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice. Each time Tails tried to get a hit, Static would jump out of the way until he grabbed the fist and destroyed it. Tails slowly walked back realising his brains alone can’t defeat Sonic’s opponent before he was electrocuted until he could no longer stand. He turned back to the main threat, Sonic. Static’s fist started glowing a bright yellow before he hit the ground sending rocks into the air he then used his telekinesis to throw them all at Sonic. Sonic jumped and ducked out of the way of all of the rocks and sliced through the last one like butter using his trusty, sacred, talking (yup talking swords are a thing) sword, Caliburn. It was passed down through generations by a knight of the round table called Sir Sonic who happened to have super speed and looked exactly like Sonic (strange isn’t it?). Static took out a small cylinder with a button which he pressed and a thin, glowing yellow blade rose from it.  They both dashed at each other as they heard the sound of one of their swords cutting through each other both very confident in each of their own swords. Until Sonic noticed a bright orange scar across the blade of Caliburn before the top half of the blade fell to the ground. “You actually thought you could cut through a laser sword with a metal one?” Chuckled Static,

“He does have a point knave.” Caliburn added.

For the first time in ages (fun fact sega is ages spelt backwards) Sonic was worried. Static pushed him towards a wall with great force sending Sonic flying and causing Sonic to drop his emerald. Sonic had lost. (And there are no fancy plot twists to save him lel) “Hehe too easy,” he said arrogantly chucking the stolen emerald up and down in his hand however when he threw his emerald up one more time, it didn’t return, he looked for the others and they were gone too.

“We’ll taking these thank you hahahahahaha.”

Three cloaked figures were standing opposite Static in the vault each holding one of the chaos emeralds that he planned to steal.

“Who are you guys?” He asked

They threw off their cloaks revealing their true identities.

“Prepare for trouble it’s crystal clear!”

“And make it double it’s for your ears to hear!”

“To protect the world from devastation!”

“To unite all people within our nation!”

“To denounce the evil of truth and love!”

“To extend our reach to the stars above!”

Jessie Wave!”

James Storm!”

“Team Rocket Babylon blasts off at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now or prepare for a Chaotic fight!”

“Yeah that’s right!”  Shouted a green hawk as he back flipped in front of his two comrades like he was their leader. “Hey, that’s our motto!” Three new people appeared two of which were wearing a top with a large R in the middle while the shortest one was a cat with a gold charm on his head. “And who are you?”

“Prepare for trouble we’ll show you how it’s done!”

“And make it double watch and learn.”

“To protect the world from devastation!”

“To unite all people within our nation!”

“To denounce the evil of truth and love!”

“To extend our reach to the stars above!”

“Jessie!”

“James!”

“Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now or prepare to fight fight fight!”

“Meowth, dats right!”

“Wobbufett!” A blue creature stood behind the purple haired man and the pink haired woman.

“Stop, that’s our motto, it took me 3 hours to come up with it!” Wave screamed.

“We came up with it first.” Jessie replied. Before you know it there was a war between the two criminal organizations, Team Rocket and the Babylon rogues (Aka Team Babylon).

Static’s face: -_-

A few seconds later, four kids and a yellow rodent with a tail shaped like a thunderbolt ran into the vault.

“C’mon Pikachu let’s make this quick use thunderbolt.” Sighed a black haired boy.

“Pikaaaaa-” the yellow mouse was surrounded by an aura of electricity. Static saw this and decided to charge his own thunderbolt.

“Uhh, what’s going on?” asked Jet.

“Well as you can see da twiops pikachu is gonna blast us off and so is dat new guy.”

“CHUUUUUU!”

“THUNDERBOLT!”

Two powerful bolts of electricity rushed towards the thugs.

KABOOM

“What just happened?” Wave questioned as they broke through the roof.

“We’ve been blasted off duh.” Jessie replied

“So what happens now?”

“We shout our catchphrase.”

“TEAM ROCKET,”

“AND BABYLON,”

“ARE BOTH BLASTING OFF AGaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!” They all shouted simultaneously

Ping

The yellow mouse returned to its owners shoulder as they began to leave.

“Finally I can deliver these to Eggman.” Sighed Static

“Chaos Spear!” Three yellow spears flew towards him. He effortlessly countered it with his own. He then looked for the source and found a black and red hedgehog.

“Who do you think you are?” Static shouted.

“Shadow, Shadow the hedgehog, the world’s ultimate life form.” He replied.

“You must be mistaken, I’m the only ultimate life form here, now if you excuse me, I’ve got some emeralds to return to Eggman.”

“You can’t trust him, he’s just using you as part of some diabolical plan.” Shadow warned but Static just turned his back on him and teleported. Shadow sighed and decided to do the same. Moments after they left a metallic blue hedgehog appeared droning these words. “Data on ultimate life form 3 and fastest thing alive copied”

Location: Who cares?

Time: 15:00

“We have failed you please forgive us.” Jet pleaded.

“Not exactly,” the Eggman replied

Static walked in carrying the emeralds as Team Babylon watched in shock. “I didn’t exactly send you to get the emerald, I sent you so that you could take the blame in case Static was caught in the act.” Explained Eggman.

“Sooo, do we get paid?” Asked Jet impatiently.

“Nope, Static brought back the emerald not you lel.”

“-_-”

“:3”

“Speaking of emeralds, Static brought three instead of one, that means I have all seven emeralds.” 

Meanwhile, Static pondered about what Shadow said. “Is Doctor Eggman really trustworthy? Is he using me? And what about Shadow? Are there other ultimate life forms out there?.. “

 

CHAPTER 4

“Ughh what happened?” Blue eyelids flickered open.

“Well you got your ass whooped by some hedgehog called Static.” Caliburn informed.

“Thanks for the intel.” He replied sarcastically glaring at the blunt sword. He decided to check himself for any injuries and apart from a few scratches he was fine, but the same couldn’t be said for the fox boy. He had a large bruise on the back of his head as well as multiple purple blotches on his body due to the loose concrete that fallen on his unconscious body. “Tails! Are you alright?!” Sonic shouted in alarm. Tails stirred in his arms but didn’t wake up. “I’ve gotta get to a poké- ah I mean hospital fast!” He muttered to himself. He hastily burst out of the jewellery store vault and rushed to the hospital.

5 seconds of traversing through Station Square

A blue streak rushed into the hospital and straight to the receptionist. “Hello what can I do for you?” A pink haired lady said cheerfully but her expression changed as soon as she saw who she was talking to. “Hello madam, my buddy needs help FAST!” Sonic informed with urgency. “Sorry sir but we don’t treat criminals here.” The pink haired nurse replied with disgust. “Oh COME ON you believe those lies too?”

“Police don’t lie m8.”

“Ugh fine I’ll go and deal with him myself.” He stated before he blast off towards Angel Island…

Location: Angel Island

Time: 15:01 and 2 seconds

After Sonic made his way to the floating island… somehow, he activated Tails’ medi-bot. Soon all of his wounds disappeared before he finally woke up from his slumber. “What happened?”

“Apart from us getting rekt nothing much.” Caliburn replied

“SHUT UP CALIBURN!!” Shouted Sonic.

“I think I know how we can beat him, but first we need to upgrade our gear.” Tails stated as he rushed to his workshop, “So what’s it gonna be this time, fire aspect? Knockback 2? Sharpness 5?” Questioned the sacred sword.

“Nope.” Replied the Fox, “It’s something much better.”

Meanwhile

Location: Prison Island

Time: 15:00

Two black figures dashed through the corridors so stealthily it was as if they weren’t there.

“So why are we here?” Asked a feminine voice.

“There’s something, I wanna search up.” A male voice replied.

Moments later they arrived at their location, a large room filled with computers containing precious data and information, some of which the figures wanted. However the room was filled with security droids and guards. Despite the fact that the silhouettes were once respected G.U.N. agents, due to recent crimes involving the anthropomorphic animals their kind were no longer trusted.

“So Rouge, what do you say we take them all down?” The male said with a smirk.

“Heh it’ll be just like old times.” The female replied.

They both jumped into the the room and before you could say “Your too slow” there were only two entities left standing. After Rouge had hacked the computer, the black figure started to search for the answer he desired. It was going well until…

“Hey I’m Omochao, did you know-“

BANG

A hole appeared in the head of the small, flying talking robot. Sparks flew from where the wires were once connected as the orange propeller slowed to a stop and the useless droid fell to the floor.

“That will probably draw attention, download the data and let’s get outta here. We can check it out later.” Commanded the black figure.

“Yes Ice King,” Rouge teased

 “-_- My name is Shadow and you know that!”

“Can’t I have a little fu-wait what’s that?”

This instantly grabbed Shadow attention as he swiftly directed his attention to the monitor. It displayed the blueprints for a large cannon. It looked like a giant cobra and inside of its mouth sat a metal, hollow barrel. Next to the blueprints a small diary was written on operating the weapon. “This weapon is a direct upgrade to the eclipse cannon, codenamed: MEDUSA,” Rouge read. “Unlike the eclipse cannon, you can control the power output of the laser by inserting the required amount of emeralds. On its own it can destroy entire cities.” She continued. “With all seven of the emeralds however you have the power to DESTROY ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEMS!!” She exclaimed with horror.

“That fool!” Shadow growled “Doesn’t Professor Gerald know how many enemies he could have created if he fired it? He could have started an intergalactic war! We’ve already ended one (Metorex, from Sonic X) we don’t need another!”

“Calm down, it says here that they cancelled the project.” Rouge assured.

“Have you forgotten about his grandson, Dr. Eggman?”

“O_0”

“Eggman probably stole the blueprints when he busted into here.”

“So what do we do about it?”

“I hate to say it, but we’re going to need to get h-he-h…”

“Help?”

“Yeah, that.” Replied Shadow

“I think I heard something.” Some muffled voices exclaimed.

“Well we’ve got our data, shall we leave?” Asked Shadow

“I don’t see why not?” Rouge replied and they disappeared, it was almost as if they were never there in the first place (well apart from the bodies sprawled out across the floor)…

Meanwhile (you’re going to be seeing this a lot)

Location: Angel Island, Tails garage

Time: 15:30

“Have you finished yet?” Whined Sonic

“Yup,” the fox replied

 In the middle of a forest clearing a large emerald sat on top of a grey platform surrounded by 7 pillars of light, each a different colour. What was once the shrine for the master emerald had become the roof for a hi-tech workshop powered by the massive gem that was protected by a grouchy red echidna.
