Not So Berry Challenge Candie Edition: Lemon Play 6 (Part 3)
Tumblr media
What's worse than running a mile in P.E. without working showers in the locker room? Being pestered all day by your new best friend who thinks it's the end of life as we know it if you don't go with her to a high school party.
Lemon was so close to turning off her phone to ignore the rampage of texts Aara sent out like an army trying to tear down Lemon's resistance. But then she would have had to explain why her phone was off and lying would feel a lot worse than the after effects of incessant vibrational shock.
Come to find out, Aara really does have a crush on Israel. On her last attempt to drag Lemon to the party with her, she said she wanted Lemon to casually bring her up in her and Israel's conversation.
Like, hey, cuz. How's it going? I have this friend. You like parties. She likes parties. You should totally ask her out!
When did she sign up to be a matchmaker? What, you say? It's in the fine print no one reads on the back of her Best Friend ID? Good to know....
Life was so much easier when she only played with dolls.
Tumblr media
It's Game Night, which means all the adults will be spending the rest of the day playing cards, eating takeout and enjoying each other's company with laughs and good conversation. Usually Lemon enjoys Game Night. She doesn't have to participate if she doesn't want to. She can just watch and laugh along with the people who get her and don't push her to be anyone but herself.
But tonight's gong to be a dread because Aara's grating persistence has won the war. She's going to Israel's party. That is if she gets her parent's permission. And she's secretly hoping she doesn't. Because if they say she can't go, there's no getting around it. The door is closed and the key is thrown out the window of their ten story building. She is begging them to see inside her soul and tell her not to go to this party!
So, here we go. She drags her feet to her parents and asks if she can go to Israel's party. They look at each other, and at first she's expecting a straight out “no”. She is the president's daughter after all. Instead, she gets questions.
Her mom asks, where is the party going to be?
Lemon says, the ruins. In Windenburg. She looks from one parent to the other. What are they thinking? Please say no. Please say no!
Her dad shrugs and says, as long as you're back by ten, why not? He looks to her mom for confirmation.
Her mom says, yeah. Sure. It's good that you're getting out and spending some time with family. We trust you.
Lemon tries to respond with a smile, but it's having trouble staying tacked at the corners of her mouth. She mumbles, thanks, and then turns away to wash the mile sweat off.
She can't wrap her  mind around it. Apparently she's trustworthy with stuff like this? How? She's a teenager? Now she has to go get ready for a party she wants nothing to do with. What is her life?!
Tumblr media
Arriving at a party in the middle of a severe thunderstorm is a pretty good excuse to pack up and hightail it back home. But no...cool people stick it out. For the thrill. Lemon just hopes no one gets struck by lightning, though these kids are kind of pushing it...
Lemon has to give it to Israel. The venue is kind of cool. She'd still rather experience it on TV where talking back is optional.
But, as she keeps reminding herself over and over again to keep from running in the opposite direction, she's on a mission. All she has to do is talk to Israel, bring up Aara's name and her job here is done. She'll be released from her duties and hopefully never hired again.
She finds Israel hanging out by the fire pit. It seems like a lot is on his mind, but the moment she walks up to him, the cloud instantly clears from his face. He doesn't want to talk about it, and she's not going to pressure him. Instead, she musters up the courage just to say, hey, cool party. The dangerous weather conditions brings a unique touch.
Israel smiles and says, it wasn't planned, but I tend to go with the flow. Some of the best things in life are out of our control.
Thunder booms, quaking the ground, and lightning cracks causing Lemon to nearly jump out of her skin. She stares at the pouring rainstorm, wondering where exactly she took a wrong turn to end up in a place like this.
Israel laughs and says, but uncharted adventure is not for the faint of heart.
If that were true, Lemon needed to build up her courage quickly. Her dreams depended on it.
But this wasn't supposed to be a life lesson on bravery. She was here for a reason. She clears her throat, which is starting to get dry and scratchy from standing too close to the fire, and recites the words she's been repeating to herself since she got there so it comes out right. She says, so, I've got this friend...her names Aara. You might know here---
He says, yeah. She's in my history class.
Lemon nods and says, she's super cool. Maybe you two should...talk?
Israel smirks. He says, sure. I'll talk to her.
Lemon nervously asks, really? She wants it to be clear that this is not a prank. Aara really likes him and she wants things to go well. What if he talked to her only to laugh in her face. She honestly doesn't know that much about him to know how he'd react. She's never read the Matchmaker's Handbook. This is new for her. How does this work?
Israel shrugs as he watches the firewood burn. He says, it wouldn't be the first time someone set him up.
Now that Lemon's really seeing him, even though he's the host of the party, he isn't really in the center of it. Maybe he never wanted to be there either. He could have been dragged against his will to throw the party as much as she was dragged to attend it. It got her thinking. If you want so badly not to do something, why force yourself to do it. Why let other people control your life when it's burning you out?
Before Lemon makes Aara's day by telling her that she's practically in with Israel, she says, I know we don't talk much, but we can if you want.
Israel looks up at her, and that cloud makes a brief return before fading beneath his smile. He says, yeah, we should hang out more.
Lemon smiles back and says, any time. And this time she doesn't dread the invitation at all.
Tumblr media
Lemon texts Aara to come join them. Otto tags along looking not too happy. He probably wants to get out of there as much as Lemon does. Lemon introduces Israel to Aara and he acknowledges her with a head nod.
He says, you want to dance? For the first time since she and Lemon's met, Aara is speechless. She nods and lightning strikes,  startling her. Israel says, it's okay. We're safe under  here. Those weirdos outside are the ones you should be worried about. Aara  giggles as they dance together and start up a conversation about who sits where in lunch. Apparently, Aara already has everyone's seating preferences memorized.
While the two of them get to know each other better, Lemon notices Otto walking away. Then it hits her. What if Otto likes Aara? Did she just ruin his chances by hooking her up with her cousin? He probably hates her now? This is why she doesn't do teenage drama. Way too many plates to juggle and a crash is usually unavoidable.

may 30, 2020 (saturday)
a lot has changed really quickly. i’m writing this from the passenger seat and hoping that i don’t get carsick because i want to get it down while it’s still fresh. 
geoff brought up spontaneously going to california. i said yes. we have the freedom right now since we’re on a long break from tour and i have nothing tying me to houston. 
everything went quickly downhill when i asked if i should pack a swimsuit. geoff said yes and i said ok and i told him i needed to go back to my apartment to get one. i wanted to drive over there by myself because i didn’t know if there were gonna be flowers again but geoff was like no im coming. he said he “had a bad feeling” and listen, i wanted to protect myself but i know that you don’t mess with gut feelings. so i told him he could come. 
i thought he would wait in the car with rory but he was insistent that they were both coming in with me. 
well. his gut feeling was spot on - there were two things of flowers outside my apartment. there was an old dying rose bouquet and then there was this one of yellow and pink flowers that looked brand new. like maybe it had been put there a couple hours before. not even a whole day. 
geoff ran ahead and grabbed the notes off of them and at first he wouldn’t let me see them but i kept telling him that it was a mistake or it was just somebody trying to be nice or something and then he showed them to me... i was wrong. i was so, so wrong. 
this person FOLLOWED ME TO NEW YORK in march to keep an eye on me. they’ve been literally stalking me for god knows how long. how did i not notice?! geoff was asking me if i’d seen anybody more than once or noticed any cars that looked familiar but i haven’t, i haven’t. i’ve just been... existing. i had no idea. i haven’t been paying attention to anything. 
i grabbed my stuff and we literally hit the road from there. that was it. i asked geoff to drive because i was feeling shaky and upset and he seemed so calm. it was almost like... like he knew this would happen or something? he was asking all these questions like he was an adult and i was a little kid and he knew what was going on and i had no idea. i still have no idea. and geoff still seems like he knows. i don’t know if that makes it better or worse but honestly i’m leaning toward better. someone having a handle on the situation is better than no one. 
god. i trust him so much. i’ve been trusting everything he says just like i was saying, like he’s some authority. sometimes it feels like i have no choice but to trust him but thing is that i do. i could decide that he’s wrong about what’s happening, i could have shaken my head when he said everything was going to be ok... but i didn’t. i believed him with everything i have. i asked him to hold my hand while we walked to the car and he didn’t even hesitate, he just squeezed it so tight and i felt better. i feel drawn to him, i feel like we’re really meant to be together, like there’s some string tying us together and when we’re physically close we’re both safer. 
i love him so much.
he told me in the car while rory was sleeping that he knows that i have a guardian angel. i don’t know how long he’s been sitting on that information but it fucked me up even worse, for two reasons. 1. he told me like a month ago that the only people with guardian angels are people who are facing some sort of dangerous or violent death and 2. i know how it feels to love a guardian angel. with all my heart. and the fact that his fate is tied so closely to other people - i don’t want someone worrying about me like that and i don’t want to be responsible for uprooting their life or for them dying. 
fuck. 
just took a break to lean on geoff’s arm for a few minutes. i feel a little better now. 
so we drove out of houston and geoff asked a couple times what i wanted to eat so we could get something and then really start driving and i told him i wanted to go wherever rory’s favorite place is. he was happy about that and drove us to ihop and i was teasing rory like ‘i bet i can eat more than you’ and she talked a big game for someone with a two year old sized stomach but i crushed her. i did give her one of my pancakes though. she didn’t ask but i saw her looking. 
while we were there geoff said to the hostess that we needed a high chair for “our” daughter and he said it again to me when the food came, “our daughter.” i pointed it out and he was like, well she is. that’s what she wants. and i told him how i’ve been wanting that for a while too and so i think it’s kind of quietly official that rory has two dads now and i’m one of them. i was so happy. so so so happy. it was like everything else just disappeared. geoff even ate pretty normally so that was awesome. i told him how proud i was. 
also he said he knows a private beach where i can swim! i wanted to cry i was so happy. i’m not exaggerating when i say i haven’t been this excited for anything in probably years. 
so yeah after all that we got back in the car and got on the road and i took a picture of my feet for daddy and sent it and geoff didn’t say anything so that was good. 
we talked a little about my journal and i asked if it bothered him that i write stuff out instead of talking to him and he said no, that he’s glad i tell him the important stuff and get everything else out on paper. and i don’t know if it was the adrenaline or the leftover good feeling or what but somehow i had the confidence to tell him that i don’t tell him all the important stuff. he seemed kind of surprised and he told me i should tell him but i was just like, you’re stressed out enough as it is. 
so yeah. and now here i am.
the plan is that geoff will drive until he gets tired and then i’ll take over. i said i just need a milkshake or a coffee or something to keep me awake. i’ve gotten used to staying up all night and i really do trust myself to stop driving if i feel tired. i would never ever put geoff or rory in danger. 
IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME AND YOU ARE A LEGAL AUTHORITY LOOKING FOR ME, please find me. for geoff’s sake. please don’t give up. i don’t care what happens to me but i need geoff to have closure. and my parents and rory and sammi and awsten and otto and lucas but especially geoff. please. 
also if you can please make sure that geoff’s eating and that he doesn’t try to hurt himself that would be great. he’s the most amazing person. he’s probably really stressed right now if i’m gone but i promise he’s normally super chill and nice. we literally print guitar picks for him that say “be nice” on them because that’s the message he wants to spread and we sold t-shirts once that said “geoff is a nice boy” so please forgive him if he gets snappy or something. he’s scared. he says we’re soulmates.
also (again) thank you so much for looking for me. i’m sorry for taking up your time. and i’m also sorry for all the weird personal stuff you probably had to read. trust me i’m more embarrassed than you are. 
also (yet again) sorry if i made mistakes. it’s a lot harder to write in the car with a hundred things going on than it is to write at home alone at the kitchen table with no noise or cars or whatever.

Super Sonic Thieves Chapter 6
Chapter 6 - Thieves Vs. Spies Vs. Robots
Intro Cutscene:
Sly: “Well, thieving around with Otto was fun, but he had to get back to the ‘war effort’ eventually, which meant it was time to move on. I took a quick look at the Thievius Raccoonus and it looks as though we are moving forward in time again, to go see my grandpa, Bruce O’Coop, who is one of the less known members of the family. I don’t remember much about him, but I do have a vague memory of him of someone telling me he actually worked for the US government once. And according to the Thievius Raccoonus, that was true, he was their spy who infiltrates groups suspected of being communists. Heh, how appropriate a thief does a spies work. :P And Bruce would go on to steal from confirmed Soviet Union spies. But it seems an investigation he went on lead to him disappearing. Something about that doesn’t sound right, Coopers don’t disappear that easily.. Looks like we’re off to visit America to find him.”
Sly Cooper and the Gang in…
*A view of a ‘50s computer monitor is shown and ones and zeros appear into they form a picture of the title card ‘Thieves Vs. Spies Vs. Robot’ .*
-----
Hub Layout:
Setting: Undisclosed southeastern state’s swamp (New Orleans, Louisiana)
Gang Hideout: An empty, abandoned home outside of the city.
Surroundings: The safe house sits near to the river and ‘houseboats’ float up and down the river. On the other side of the bank sits an abandoned mansion to the east. North leads into the city of New Orleans, but it oddly seems quiet... West of the safe house is a swampy region, supposedly untouched by civilization, save for any voodoo practitioner. And to the south is a long road, separating the river and swamp.
Enemies:
Policeman Pawn: Pawns in police uniforms that’ll fire their pistols at you if they spot you. Drops 9 rings.
Army Pawn: Pawns in military fatigues that carry machine guns. Bet you can figure out what they’ll do with them. Drops 11 rings.
G-Man Pawn: A dapper pawn in the government black suit that carries around a briefcase. Get their attention and they’ll drop them on the ground, bringing up a turret gun that shoots bullets at you. Drops 13 rings.
Ruski Pawn: *Russian accent* He’s your standard spy pawn from the EGB. Very dangerous, as they can control nearby terminals to fire machine guns hiding in walls, trees, etc. They are invincible (unless you sneak attack them first. :P ). Drops 15 rings.
Treasures: (None. Sly isn't around long enough to warrant it. Besides, more treasure was used in the last Chapter. Also the reason why there are no Sly guards about.)
From Pedestals:
200 Year Old Gumbo Pot: No booby trap, but Bruce is needed to open the cage it’s in with his cane. Worth 1000 coins and 500 rings. On a pedestal near the entrance to the city.
Golden Mardi Gras Mask: Fall damage booby trap. Worth 1250 coins and 625 rings. Hiding on a roof of a building in the city.
Silver Tiara: Bomb booby trap, 1:30 minute timer. Worth 1500 coins and 750 rings. Hiding on a building in the city.
Voodoo Necklace: Not booby trapped per se, it will raise spirits to attack you as long as you hold it. Worth 2000 coins and 1000 rings. Hiding on a pedestal in the swamp.
The coins have a design of shrimp and gumbo on them.
Secret Clockwork Sighting: Hiding among the trees in the deep swamp.

Recon on the Bayou
Take recon of New Orleans
Bentley: “Alright guys, you know the drill by now. Get some recon photos of the area so we know what we’re dealing with.”
Sly: “Understood buddy.”
Vector: “It’s a good thing you chose me to go with you. I can swim in the river and swamp so you don’t have to.”
Sly: “Really now? Thanks… Say, Vector, does New Orleans seem a bit different to you?”
Vector: “We don’t exactly have a New Orleans, we do have a similar place that does Mardi Gras… but I sense what you mean… it feels… quiet. Definitely not the right atmosphere, and it’s not the swamp behind us.”
Sly: “Yeah… well, we better not keep Bentley waiting, let’s go.”
*The player takes Sly and Vector to the river first, to take a recon photo of the houseboats and abandoned mansion.*
*Once done*
Sly: “Hmmm… there’s something odd about them, but I can’t put my finger on it.”
Vector: “I have to admit those houseboats look suspicious, floating only around that mansion… Protection perhaps?”
Sly: “Maybe… aw well, move on.”
*The player now heads off to the city. Once there.*
Sly: “I knew this place was too quiet. No one is here.”
Vector: “Seems Metal Sonic has taken over. Look!” *He points to a nearby billboard which has an animated Metal Sonic, which goes into a terrifying face to scare people.*
Sly: “Hmm…”
*The player takes recon of the billboard and the transmitters in town.*
Sly: “Why does he need transmitters?”
Vector: “I’m not sure… I think we better move on.”
*The player then moves on to the swamp. In there…*
Sly: “I see Eggman has made the swamp his place of business.”
Vector: “Yeah. Hey, look at that gate.”
*The camera turns to a huge gate blocking access to going deeper in the swamp.*
Sly: “I see there is no way in… the gate is too large for us to break.”
Vector: “Yeah, and I can’t swim under it. We better return to Bentley.”
Sly: “Yeah”
JOB COMPLETE
-----
Bentley: “Is this really all the recon you could get?”
Sly nods. “Sorry. There just wasn’t a lot to work with.”
Bentley: “Hmmm… what do we do next then…”
*Just then, as you could call luck, Bentley’s computer starts going off, warning of a hacker trying to hack his computer for information.*
Bentley: “What the? Who the heck is hacking my computer?”
Sonic: “Is it Eggman?! Or Metal Sonic?!”
Bentley: “I’m not sure. I’m gonna have to fight them off.”
-----
A Hacker’s Desperate Plea
Beat the Unknown hacker
Find the hacker
*The player is sent straight into a hacking game, right into a battle against the unknown hacker. This hacker is kind of tough, sporting a huge AI ship. Whoever it is must be a part of the FBI, since the main part of the ship has the FBI insignia. The player has their work cut out to cut the guy down to size, but fighting smartly will make sure you win.*
*Once defeated...*
Bentley: “AHA! Success! I know where he is! He’s in the city! Let’s go! Sly, with me!”
Sly: “Do you think we should use the van?”
Bentley: “No. I think I may have spooked the guy. We have to get there fast, but silently. Come on, let’s go.”
*The player now has a set time limit to run into the city and make it to the waypoint set out to the coordinates of the hacker.*
*Once there...*
Sly: “Looks like we are just in time. He’s just leaving now.” *A turtle comes out of the building.* “Hey, he reminds me…”
Bentley: “Of me? I’m with you there. I wonder if he might be my grandfather… I don’t exactly remember him but this guy brings up the feeling, especially with the way he hacked. It seemed like mine.”
Sly: “Well, all we can do is ask him about who he is. I guess I’ll go first.”
*Sly goes and stops the turtle in his tracks.*
Sly: “Where are we going in such a hurry?”
The turtle jumps and hides in his shell in fear until he sees the raccoon feet. “Damn it, Cooper! You scared me! Where the heck have you been? I’ve been left dealing with this case alone.”
Sly stands in confusion. “Uh… whatever you’re talking about… all I know is that you have hacked my friend’s computer, and you’re going to tell me why.”
The Turtle: “Huh? Your friend? Wait… are you even Bruce?”
Sly: “You first. Why did you hack us?”
The Turtle: “Well, you make yourself obvious when you’re the only other computer signal in the area.”
Sly thinks and says: “... Fair enough. Bentley, come out.”
*Bentley comes out from the nearby shadows.* “Considering his bad eyesight, I think it’s him.”
The Turtle: “Who? What?!”
Sly: “Well, I’m not Bruce, I’m Sly, his future grandson, and this is Bentley, your future grandson.”
The Turtle: “Bentley? Hey, that’s my name too, though I like Ben better.”
Bentley: “I think we better continue this at the safehouse.”
Sly: “Agreed.”
JOB COMPLETE
-----
Sly: “Once we returned to the safehouse and told him we’re from the future and helping the Cooper line, Ben told us everything.”
Ben: “I guess… if you guys are truly from the future and want to help… I’ll spill… Bruce and I were sent here to New Orleans by FBI orders to investigate Communist rumors spreading in town. Unfortunately… it’s much worse than we thought and makes me wish it were Russians. There’s these metallic… things just roaming around the city, scaring everyone away. And they seem to be controlled by an even scarier being with large spines!”
Sly: “Sonic and the others confirmed that he was talking about the Egg Pawns and Metal Sonic.”
Ben: “I think he’s connected to Bruce’s disappearance… I see you guys went to the swamp, from your photos… he went there to check out those things… but he hasn’t returned… I think your Metal Sonic guy grabbed him…”
Sly: “It was pretty clear… we had to go and find Bruce. If Metal Sonic is as bad as they say he is… well, it might be better to act now.”
-----
Bentley: “Alright. Ben, Tails, and I have thought on this, and are pretty certain on one thing: We need to rescue Bruce from Metal Sonic’s grasp. Of course, we know this is tough. Metal Sonic is definitely not like the last of Eggman’s lackeys. Metal Sonic is a very smart android, pretty much the supercomputers of supercomputers. Even Bruce didn’t have a chance.  Hopefully though, our combined genius can beat that. Sly, you and Vector should go back to the swamp, in search of Bruce.”
Sly: “Got it.”
Vector: “Alright.”
Bentley: “And if you see anything interesting, recon it and we’ll deal with it after getting Bruce. Now let’s go.”
-----
Swamptastic Voyage
Take recon of the deeper swamp
Find Bruce
*Sly and Vector sees the gate from earlier has been busted open by some force, breaking them off their hinges.*
Vector: “Wow… that gate was destroyed like it was nothing! Well, I guess that means we can head on deeper.”
Sly: “Yeah, but we better be careful. It could be dangerous in there.”
*The player heads on deeper, and find themselves passing by big machines that are draining energy from the swamp and New Orleans.*
Vector: “I wonder what Eggman is sucking up?”
Sly: “If I had to guess from past experience, he might be taking in supernatural energy. Swamps like these have tons of that energy.”
Vector: “Guess we should get some recon of them for Bentley.”
*The player takes recon of the 4 collectors as they head deeper into the swamp. Soon, they find themselves at the mouth of a cave.*
Vector: “This seems to be the only place we can go… think Bruce is in there?”
Sly: “I think so… only thing we can do is check.”
*The player enters and finds plenty of platforms and modern laser traps that make traversing the cave really difficult. Making it past rewards you with finding a very scared Bruce.*
Bruce: “Hoo, boy, you’ve really done it now, Bruce. Got caught by an angry android and now getting stuck in this cave. How elite I am.” *He hears Vector and Sly coming* “Aha! What monster dares to attack the mighty hacker Bruce, brave and strong!?!”
Vector appears. “Hey, Sly, it’s Bruce.”
Bruce: “AH! A CROC! DON’T EAT ME!!” *He curls up and hides his face behind his tail, waiting for the moment of being eaten.*
Sly appears. “Bruce, we’re here to rescue you.”
Bruce: “Huh?” *He moves his tail to see Sly and Vector smiling happily* “You are not going to eat me? You a friendly?”
Sly: “Well, my croc friend is. And I am as well, Bruce.”
Bruce smiles, then remembers his FBI training. “Hey… wait a minute, how do you know my name?”
Sly: “Well… we did find your friend Ben in the city, alone.”
Bruce: “Oh, my! Ben! Thank goodness you rescued him! It’s scary out there!”
Sly: “And… since I think I have to say in good conscious… I’m your future grandson. I came back in time with my friends to rescue you.”
Bruce thinks and says: “Hmmm… future grandson? I oddly believe that… heh, us Coopers are a mystic bunch. I mean, take me. I’m a hacker of 50’s computers!”
Sly: “Heh, Bentley’s going to like you. Come on, let’s get out of here.”
*The player leads the trio out of the cave and into the swamp again.*
Bruce: “Ah, the beautiful sky! How I missed it.”
Vector: “It does look pretty actually. That cave wasn’t as tough as it looked.”
Sly: “Yeah… almost too easy… almost no problems getting him out… Was it-”
*A dark and sinister, mechanical voice breaks the darkness.* “A TRAP? THAT IS CORRECT, SLY COOPER!”
*Metal Sonic, looking very dark among other things swoops out of the dark underbrush and grabs Sly.*
Sly struggles to break free. “Hey! Let me go!”
Metal Sonic: “RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! EGGMAN’S ORDERS ARE TO EXAMINE YOU.” *He flies up into the air, out of Vector and Bruce’s reach.* “AND DON’T THINK ABOUT FOLLOWING ME, YOU ARE TOO WEAK TO DEFEAT ME.” *He flies off to the east.*
Bruce: “Ah! It’s that scary fiend!!”
Vector: “And he took Sly! We got to tell the others!”
JOB COMPLETE
-----
Murray: “Sly’s gone?”
Carmelita: “So easily?”
Vector: “Yeah. He grabbed him and flew him away.”
Sonic: “He does do that sometimes, he’s got the determination.”
Amy mutters: “I know that…”
Bruce: “I’ve lost my future grandson!” *He cries a bit, but then changes to anger.* “No… I’m going to get him back! I think I know where he is!”
Bentley: “That’s good! You and Vector can go and save him! Meanwhile, Silver and Murray, you should destroy those supernatural energy collectors, so we can weaken Metal Sonic.”
Murray and Silver: “Got it!”
Bentley: “Next is to stop the transmissions of Metal Sonic in New Orleans.”
Ben: “I think I can stop them, though I think I’ll need you and Rouge’s help to protect me.”
Rouge: “Sure thing.”
Bentley: “And finally, I think those houseboats should be destroyed. Ben and Bruce seem to think they are filled with guns, and I agree with them.”
Tails: “Leave that to me! I’ll shoot them down with the RC Tornado.”
Charmy: ♪ “Can I help?! I want to see some action!” ♫
Tails: “Of course, Charmy.”
Bentley: “Alright guys, let's move. We need to seize the chance now.”
-----
The Monster Mash
Destroy the supernatural energy collectors
*Murray and Silver look at the first supernatural energy collector.*
Silver: “These supernatural energy collectors are huge! I wonder how we can destroy them…”
Murray: “Easy! We just throw big things at it!”
Silver: “True… Well, we better get smashing.”
*The player has Silver and Murray grab or telekinesis various big rocks, machines, and other object at the large collector. Some pawns will come in as you’re destroying the machine, but it shouldn’t be too hard. Destroying the machine makes it explode, releasing the energy back to the swamp.*
Murray: “YES! Explosions are always good!”
Silver: “Well, we got three more big explosions to have. Ready for more?”
Murray: “Always!”
*The player moves on to the other collectors, blowing them up too.*
*Once done.*
Murray: “We’re done! No more evil collecting for Eggman!”
Silver: “That was fun! Let’s return to the safehouse.”
JOB COMPLETE
-----
Party Crashers
Turn off all of the transmitters
*The player walks Ben, Bentley, and Rouge over to a transmitter.*
Bentley: “I believe this may be one of them.” *He sees a computer terminal, but it looks old.* “It’s a dinosaur!”
Ben: “For you perhaps, grandson, but not for me. I’ll handle them. Just provide me some cover.”
Bentley: “Of course, granddad! Come on, Rouge, let’s watch for Pawns.”
Rouge: “Heh, let’s hope for some action.”
Ben: “Prepared to be hacked, computer. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt a bit…”
*The player enters a black and white version of the hacking minigames from before, in order to turn off the transmitter. Once it’s off.*
Ben: “Did it! I’m moving on!”
*Ben moves on to the next transmitter, while Bentley and Rouge fight off Egg Pawns.*
*This is done 5 more times for the other transmitters, protecting Ben and hacking the computer.*
*Once all the transmitters are hacked, the mission is complete.*
Ben: “That’s the last transmitter, and goodbye, Metal Sonic.” *The nearby billboards go back to normal, along with all the others.*
Bentley: “It looks like things are returning back to their normal state. We better get back to the safehouse.”

Smashing Down the River
Deactivate and destroy the houseboats
*Tails and Charmy arrive at the river’s edge to see something unexpected.*
Charmy: ♪ “WHOA! Look at that! Those houseboats have guns on them now! They’re gunboats!” ♫
Tails: “I would assume what they were before was standby mode, so as to not arouse suspicion. And it just made our mission a whole lot tougher. I can sink the boats, but those guns look like they’ll tear the RC Tornado to shreds.”
Charmy: ♪ “Oh! I can go fly on the boats and look for a deactivation switch! I’m an agile bee!”  ♫
Tails: “Alright, just be careful. Shut one off and then I’ll blast it down. We’ll do that to all 3 of them.”
*The player takes control of Charmy first, making him fly over to one of the gunships, avoiding gunfire. Once on, they search for the button and have Charmy push it down. The guns will disappear, which gives Tails 2 minutes to break the ships. Thankfully, they’re paddle boats, so completely breaking the paddle will make it start to sink.*
*The player returns to Charmy, to get to the next ship. These actions are repeated two more times to the other ships so they sink too.*
Charmy: ♪ “HOORAY! We did it! Those ships are sunk! That was so much fun!” ♫
Tails nods. “It was. Let’s go tell the others.”

Going Incognito
Find Sly
Rescue Sly
*Bruce and Vector stand in front of the abandoned mansion.*
Bruce: “It was a foggy memory, but I’m pretty certain I was held up in this building before I found myself in the swamp cave.”
Vector: “It looks like it’s been abandoned before he got started here, good for a base of operations. I wonder how we are going to get in. Metal Sonic seems to have installed a computer to open it.”
Bruce: “Heh, don’t worry, I got it. You could say my hacking skills are… futuristic…”
*The player makes Bruce pull out his cane, and point it at the computer. A hacking game starts, and completing it opens the door.*
Vector is speechless: “Uh… where have I seen that before…”
Bruce: “It’s a Sonic Cane, able to hack any mechanical lock, in this case, this computer! Why hack computers with my mind when I can just stick my cane into them? Hah!”
Vector: “Right… ahem, well, let’s head in.”
*They enter and the doors shut behind them. The lights in the house flicker on, showing what can only be called a horror-themed house.*
Bruce: “Uh-oh.”
Vector: “Figured the place would be hard to navigate, but this is the most scary of hard.”
Bruce: “As I said before, never fear! I got this. Let’s move quick.”
*The player has to make their way through the house, solving puzzles with horror-themed object before the room can kill them. There’s the living room, where you have to move the furniture back where they belong before the ceiling spikes crush you; the kitchen, where you fight some pawns off as the fridge and oven throw ice and fire at you; the dining room, with razor-sharp plates being thrown around; the lounge area, with an attacking, chained couch that lunges at you; and the bedrooms on the second floor. They have computers in each room that Bruce has to hack while Vector fights off more Egg Pawns. Hacking them all opens up the last room, the master bedroom, where Metal Sonic and Sly are.*
*Inside, they see Metal Sonic looming over Sly on the table, reading his body with his scanning eyes. He is about finished when he notices the duo. He grabs Sly and smashes through the wall, as Sly and Vector follow.*
*The player chases after him across the grass, river, and then road as they try to keep up, avoiding the lasers he is shooting from his back. Keep on dodging them until they end up at the safehouse.*
*Metal Sonic drops Sly off and disappears in a dark flash. Vector and Bruce grab Sly and take him inside.*

Sonic: “Are you alright, Sly? I’m surprised he didn’t hurt you at all, considering how much he hates us.”
Sly: “Other than the brush to my pride, I’m alright.”
Carmelita: “He got lucky, you know. No one captures you and gets away with it.”
Sly: “Thanks for the reassurance, Carm… someone sounds jealous.” *A slap is heard and he yells in pain.*
Bentley: “Alright, we have to deal with Metal Sonic now. I think we did a good job so far.”
Metal Sonic appears on the computer screen. “THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK, YOU LOW IQED TURTLE!”
Bentley: “WHAT THE?! How did you-”
Metal Sonic: “YOUR COMPUTER? CHILD’S PLAY. IT SEEMS EVEN THE FUTURE CAN’T BEAT ME.”
Sly: “You won’t get away with this!”
Metal Sonic: “BUT I HAVE! EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE IS NEGLIGIBLE TO OUR PLANS! iN FACT, I’M FEELING GOOD. WHY DON’T YOU COME HERE TO THE CITY AND ‘TRY’ TO BEAT ME, NOT THAT YOU WILL!!!” *He laughs and his hacking seems to disappear.*
Bentley: “How dare he violate my computer!”
Murray: “I think it’s time we introduce some FISTS into his program.”
Carmelita: “No… let me fight him… He doesn’t get to capture this ringtail like it was nothing…”
Sonic: “Let me fight him too. Our rivalry has been going on forever, and I think he still might trip up if I taunt him.”
Carmelita: “Fine, but stay out of my shots.”
Sonic: “No problem there.”
Tails: “The only thing that worries me is his strange supernatural powers… He seems stronger, and it might stop Sonic and Carmelita from harming him.”
Bentley: “I thought so too. I did look at those transmitters a bit, and I think we can reverse them to make them suck up supernatural energy, weakening Metal Sonic. It’s just the matter of getting him close to them.”
Bruce: “I think we can do that. I have a hunch that android can change directions with those traffic lights.”
Ben: “We can hack the traffic system, perhaps telling his brain to go down the green lit streets.”
Bentley: “Alright, just lead them to a transmitter we get working in reverse and we’re good to go.”
Knuckles: “Let’s get him!”
All: “YEAH!”

Operation Hedgehog Capture
Drain Metal Sonic of his powers and defeat him
*Carmelita and Sonic arrive in town, and Metal Sonic appears from a dark mass.*
Metal Sonic: “SO IT’S MY ARCHENEMY AND MY CAPTOR’S GIRLFRIEND, HMMM?”
Sonic: “We’re going to defeat you, Metal Sonic! I always do!”
Carmelita: “Eat shock pistol, Android!”
Metal Sonic: “RESPONSE: EAT PLASMA, VIXEN!”
*The player goes into a battle against Metal Sonic, but the fight is futile. He is encased in a supernatural energy barrier, and nothing can damage him. After about a minute…*
Carmelita: “Damn… he’s too strong for my shots, Sonic.”
Sonic: “And he’s flying too high for me, but I doubt homing attacks can damage him either right now.”
Metal Sonic: “FOOLS! IF YOU ARE DONE MAKING A MOCKERY OF YOURSELVES, I HAVE OTHER PLANS.” *He starts to fly down a street.*
Sonic: “We need to keep up with him!”
Carmelita notices a nearby police car that has its keys in the ignition. She hops in and turns it on, and beckons for Sonic to enter the passenger side.. “Get in, Sonic, time for a police chase!”
Sonic: “Alright, cool!” *He gets in and Carmelita speeds off after Metal Sonic.*
*We change our view to the safehouse, where Ben, Bentley, Tails and Bruce have succeeded in hacking the city to their whim.*
Bentley: “Yes! We have got complete control over the transmitters and traffic lights!”
Ben: “Alright, grandson! Now you and Tails deal with the draining transmitters. Bruce and I will change the traffic lights.”
Tails: “Got it!”
*We enter a virtual map of New Orleans. There is a symbol of Metal Sonic and a symbol for Sonic and Carmelita that follow the streets. Any street intersection can be chosen, where there is an option to change the lights so the green will be on the other directions of the intersection. On the side is a meter of Metal Sonic’s supernatural energy. The goal is to drain away all of Metal Sonic’s energy by making him fly by a working transmitter. Once he flies by a working one, he loses a ⅙ of his energy then destroys the transmitter so it can’t be used again. Do this for all 6 transmitters to move on to the fight. Do note that with the more energy he loses, it will get a bit harder to get him to pass by a transmitter.*
*Once he is completely drained, we return to Metal Sonic and Sonic and Carmelita.*
Metal Sonic lands as his supernatural shell disappears. “I SEE YOUR FRIENDS HAVE DRAINED ME. NO MATTER, I CAN STILL BEAT YOU.”
Sonic: “Bring it on, you useless hunk of metal!”
Carmelita: “Let’s see how much shock you can take.”
Metal Sonic: “I WILL DEFEAT YOU, AND EGGMAN WILL SUCCEED!”
*Now it is time for the player to fight Metal Sonic and defeat him. His offence includes firing laser from his spines that spread backwards, firing plasma blasts from his hands (like Carmelita’s shock pistol), firing a larger chest laser that he can move around, and firing a huge ball of plasma when he’s desperate. The fight is mostly of Carmelita firing her shock pistol at Metal Sonic until Metal Sonic is annoyed enough to fire off his huge ball of plasma. It absorbs Carmelita’s shock shots, so Sonic needs to run up and attack Metal so he hurts himself with the plasma ball. Then the duo can wail on the short-circuited hedgehog until he gets back up again. Do this as many times as needed until he is defeated.*
Metal Sonic: “... I MAY BE DEFEATED… BUT EGGMAN WILL SUCCEED… THE EGGMAN EMPIRE IS COMING… ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!”

Outro Cutscene:
Sly: “It was a hard fought battle for Sonic and Carmelita, but they had stopped the rampaging Metal Sonic. It was a little weird to explain to our grandparents that he couldn’t go to the FBI, but had to go to Sonic’s world, but once they knew they had their own government agency (GUN), they happily let him go. They said they’ll note in their reports that they quashed the rumors and there seems to be nothing more. Afterwards, we did spend a little time with our grandparents. They were quite a fun bunch to say the least. I see why me, Bentley, and the others had the chance to meet up. I wonder where our adventures will take us next…”
Next Time: It’s time to get anime in Heian Japan.
