The Sonic Group Chat

11 ~ Sonic Must Die + Learn Christmas Songs w/ Knux

Knuckles bursts into the room, yelling with glee.

"I've just received some incredible news!"

Amy, Silver, and the Chaotix were all there.

"Sonic is alive!"

Jaws drop. Silver stares agape. Stumbling before sitting down on a crate to wrap his head around this.

"No way..." he mutters. "This is amazing!"

Amy perked up finally, eyes lightning up. "What?! Oh, my God!" Her surprise turns to relief, tears weld in her eyes. "...I knew it! I knew it!"

Knuckles' eyes go to the floor for a moment, a sudden darkness falling over him. "He-he's trapped in the orbiting prison. Rouge says Sonic's been kept in solidarity confinement, and he's been tortured for months..."

Knuckles stares blankly for a moment. "Holy shit," he blurts.

He turns to the camera crew. "I know I've read this already but jeez, reading it aloud? This is dark as hell."

"Well, technically wouldn't hell be bright?" Blaze asks, lowering her clipboard balance a large stack of paper. "Because isn't there fire everywhere or something along those lines?"

Knuckles stares deadpan.

"Well, it seems the smartass has been outsmarted," Vector smirks, his Gucci chains clicked.

"Let's just reshoot," Knuckles says before he started an argument.

Just then, the red wolf, Gadget stumbles in, all his tracking gear on, spots on his face, limbs and torso to mark certain points for animation. The "Rookie" role was given to Gadget and Velocity, both had the builds and dedication to fill the role. Since the game was introduced character creation, the two of them would be "playing" the same character. Velocity played the female Avatar while Gadget played the male. Lots of fucking annoying equipment had to be put on in advance which would track their movements and such.

In a way they didn't always need to be there in select scenes, they could act their part alone. But if they didn't want to have shitty quality, it was best to film in the same place.

"I'm here, sorry," Gadget says, getting into place in his corner of the room, tossing his script behind a crate which was part of the environment. "Stupid suit wasn't working for a bit."

Velocity shows up in her suit too. She stood beside Blaze behind the camera crew. Gadget was on scene first and then she would film with slightly alternated lines.

It was an annoying process but the work would probably be worth it in the long run.

Blaze sighs. "It's alright, it's working now. Yours is to, right Velocity?"

The dark blue wolf give a thumbs up before crossing her arms again.

"Okay, so let's continue. Ready everyone?" Nods answered Blaze. "Three, two one, action!"

Knuckles burst into the room one more, "I've got—" his lego shoe got snagged on a wire trailed across the floor and he tripped and fell right on his face.

"Holy shit!" Vector exclaimed, rushing to lift up Knuckles, whose nose dribbled with blood.

"Watch your profanity," Charmy says jokingly, though he still was concerned for Knux.

"I've got horrible news," Knuckles squints in pain up at Vector while he was lifted to his feet. "Sonic is alive."

Silver wheezed for a short moment and then fell back into character.

"No way! That's horrible!"

Gadget started breaking into laughter. Doubled over.

"What?!" Amy screeches. Joining in. "Oh God betrayed me! My nightmares were true..."

Blaze covered her mouth to muffle her giggles, the crew was starting to chuckle now too at the random shit that was going down in front of them.

"The only good thing about this is that thoticus Rouge told me Sonic was being kept in solitary confinement in the orbiting prison. He's been tortured for months." Knuckles makes his tanned muzzle contort into a sadistic smile, making it clear he was glad to hear that Sonic might have Stockholm Syndrome and thinks he's an egg.

"That's great! Make sure not to rescue him!" Amy states.

"About time someone beat his ass," Charly says, cheerfully floating around the room. Making some of the actors who were losing their shit gasp. "He's been turning into a bit of an asshole lately."

Espio nods and unfolds his arms, somehow maintaining a straight face during this. "Hmm. Yes. Sometimes people simply need the belt to put them back in line."

Gadget was rolling on the floor clutching his stomach at this point. Silver was on his knees, laughing, and Amy was starting to break too.

"Stop! Please stop!" Gadget barely managed to plead in between laughs.

"Never. We will never give up until we are certain that Sonic is dead. Fuck Eggman—not literally—our main priority is to make sure Sonic dies."

And with that final blow Knuckles delivered, which was devastating, all the other actors and crew members couldn't hold back.

Wheezes as chunky as Thano's mighty ass cheeks erupted like Pompeii across the studio.

A good three minutes passed until people started collecting themselves.

Blaze started a slow clap, which slowly got faster. Velocity joined in, followed by all the crew members. All the behind the scene workers were giving a standing ovation for these improv Gods among them. Knuckles bowed, Vector did some sort of strange action pose, Amy gave a very anime-like pose with peace signs while she winked.

Gadget was still on the floor, crying and struggling to breath. Silver sat next to him, very uncertain what he would supposed to be doing right now.

Slowly the applause dies down.

"Well done, guys," Blaze laughs. "But... you know we have to do that again?"

"What do you mean? That was perfect material to work with," Vector joked.

"Couldn't tell a difference from the original script," Espio says.

"Do you mind letting me have a copy of today's shooting?" Velocity asked Blaze, giggling.

"Oh yes," she laughed. "Ask the tech crew at the end of the day. Once we are done filming, I need to get a compilation of all these moments."

Blaze looks back to the set. "Knuckles? Are you alright?"

The red echidna pinches his bleeding nose, which was good since you couldn't really see it on his body. His face though... looks like he got out of a fist fight.

"I might need five," Knuckles says, sitting down on one of the nearby crates. "FIVE GOLDEN RANGS." He shouts out of nowhere. "Four speedy hedgehogs, three bitchy Rouges, two Sonic clones, and an existential crisis in Green Hill."

. . .

Whelp. I've totally reached the pinnacle of comedy. 😑

That Christmas song parody took me about five minutes to think of, but I love it XD.

Proud of me for updating somewhat recently and not months later? :'D

Hope y'all enjoyed this shit fest.
