SONIC'S SCREAM TEAM

Not so long ago in a spooky haunted castle there was a group of friends out to enjoy the...movie set? Wait...CUT! Cut! Let's roll that back! Ghosts surely aren't real, except, maybe the ones haunting our past mistakes...

inspired by: SONIC X EPISODE 19

PREVIOUS CHAPTER: THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

NEXT CHAPTER: CRUISE BLUES

(cn: part of this chapter was drawn before being finished in written format)

Amy breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of their approaching friend, “Oooh…She’s just running away from some ghosts…

...

Wait.”

The boy and the hedgehog joined their friend, screaming as they worked to flee the terrifying spirits chasing them from behind. After a few moments, Amy took note of a side room they could duck in quickly approaching.

“Quick! This way!”

The trio of friends threw themselves to the side just as the ghosts attempted to swipe. They tumbled down a few steps before landing on the stone, cold floor of the castle’s inner chamber. The three of them gasped for air a few moments until all fell quiet. Chris pushed himself up onto his feet, regaining his stamina.

“Phew! I think…I think we finally lost them…”

The girl with the fluffy, golden hair flipped onto her back, gasping in shock as her eyes focused on the strange sight above her, “G-G-Guys…I-I think we have bigger things to worry about!!!”

The older of the Thorndyke siblings followed his sister’s frightened gaze, equally shocked as his eyes fell upon the sight of their friends and family trapped between some dark, purple barrier and the ceiling above. He locked eyes with his worried mother a moment before shifting his gaze to meet Sonic’s, equally as worried for their predicament.

So that was where they’d all ended up.

“H-How did they get up THERE!?”

“That’s easy…”

The Thorndyke siblings watched in horror as their pink friend turned her head, her eyes now reflecting those of the psychotic ghosts who’d stolen their friends. Her mouth cracked into an equally unsettling smile as she tilted her head in a creepy and unnatural fashion, her quills turning upward slightly as large, dark claws broke through the tips of her gloves.

“WE PHASED THEM INTO THE WALLS THE SAME AS US!!!!”

Amy dropped her hammer as the siblings screamed.

“EVE, WE HAVE TO MOVE!!!” Chris tried to pull his sister off the floor and away from the possessed hedgehog but it was no use.

“YOU…”

The little girl froze, unable to will herself to move as her precious friend lunged at her. Claws stretched wide, she grabbed the small girl by the collar of her dress, paying no mind to the boy next to her as she dragged her along in malice. Her back hit the far wall with a loud crash, as the possessed hedgehog continued to pin her there with her elbow.

“CEASE IT!!! CEASE IT AT ONCE!!!”

The small, winded girl continued to stare at her friend with wide, terrified eyes, confused at what the spirit within meant.

“A-A-Amy…?”

She threw the girl to the side in one, swift motion. Eve tumbled a few feet backward, skidding to a halt near the far wall. Apart from a few bruises and scrapes, she was uninjured, though she didn’t know how long that would last as her friend approached her once more, cornering her like prey. Amy’s body knelt down, the pink in her now-rounded irises glowing with hatred and a thirst for vengeance.

“STOP PERSISTING!!! CEASE IT!!! CEASE THAT BLINDING LIGHT!!! YOU AND YOUR LIGHT SHOULD SIMPLY CEASE TO EXIST!!!”

Eve brought up an arm, shielding herself as the spirit laughed menacingly, preparing to strike.

“DROWN IN THE SHADOWS OF DARKNESS!!!”

“EVE!!!”

Just as her hand went to strike, Chris grabbed hold of it, using its momentum to throw off her attack. He tumbled on top of his friend, his wrist bending unnaturally as the ghost fought back, wrangling Amy’s hand free.

“GNH!!!”

“CHRIS!!!!”

He didn’t give up though, continuing to wrestle against the hedgehog’s immense strength despite his sprained wrist. Whether through sheer willpower or Amy somehow fighting back against the spirit, Chris managed to force his way between her and his sister, their hands locked in struggle as they stared each other down.

“Enough…You want to hurt my little sister?”

Chris threw his arms up with all his strength before letting go of her hands, throwing Amy’s body off guard. Though it felt wrong, he took the opportunity to punch Amy in the face, knocking her backwards and giving him the chance to rise to his feet. The ghost jumped onto the hedgehog’s feet, crouching down like an animal ready to pounce. Chris took a readied stance, pointing to himself with a thumbs up for a moment as he stared the spirit down with fury and determination.

“THEN YOU’LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME!!!”

Though worried for his friends’ safety, the blue hedgehog couldn’t help but smile proudly from above as he watched his dear friend stand strong, fearlessly defending his little sister without hesitation. The blonde woman next to him watched the hedgehog a moment before looking back to her son with wide eyes.

He’d grown so much in such a short time.

How had she missed it?

Amy’s body continued to lunge in a similar fashion, though now targeting the boy who had landed a hit on her. She would have to take him out first if she wanted to reach the small girl who was now running to the large hammer on the ground. She grabbed the handle, attempting to lift it to no avail and resorting to dragging it along the ground slightly with each tug.

“C-Come on! If only…If only I could throw it up there…”

She continued to tug, useless to the battle at hand.

“...I could break the wall and release everyone!”

But she was weak.

Amy landed a slash on Chris’s right arm, causing him to stumble and cry out in pain. She then grabbed him and threw him into the far wall, his forearm meeting the full force of the impact under his weight with a loud crack.

“GAAAAH!!!”

“CHRIIIISS!!!!”

Her body turned back to the frightened girl and began approaching, a sinister series of cackles escaping her. She paused, however, as the figure of a bruised, spiky-haired boy slid into her path once more, now holding his fractured arm with care.

“F-Family…is supposed to BE THERE for each other!!! A-And I…I REFUSE TO KEEP ABANDONING MINE!!!”

plip

plip

The girl clutched the hammer close as tears began falling from her eyes, her mother above watching in a similar fashion as she recalled the disappointment in her daughter’s voice over the phone.

So…

That was why he’d been so upset…

Lindsey clenched her fists in frustration, guilt crossing her expression.

Of course she’d missed it.

She’d always missed it.

Even now as she tried to include them both following the world-wide discovery of Sonic after his fight with the evil Dr. Eggman…

The girl continued to clutch the hammer for support as she watched her brother fight tirelessly to protect her with wet eyes.

“C-Chris…”

plip

plip

Both Thorndyke kids’ eyes widened at the sight of their possessed friend, trembling as a few tears fell from her eyes. She suddenly gripped her head as she stumbled away from them a few steps.

“GRRRR!!! NO!!! YOU ARE UNDER OUR CONTROL!!!”

“Amy!!”

She continued fighting it another moment before throwing Chris aside and lunging at Eve in a swift motion. There was nothing the girl with the golden hair could do but shut her eyes as she prepared to meet her fate.

This…was the end…

…

…

The girl slowly opened her aqua eyes just in time to feel the hammer be yanked from her grasp. She looked to Amy, a sincere yet still-creepy grin crossing her muzzle as she momentarily regained control. The sight made the girl’s skin crawl though she listened at the hedgehog’s painfully forced words.

“...Q-Quick! Take…cover!!”

Eve ducked and covered her head as Amy used the last of her consciousness and momentum to launch her hammer at the ceiling barrier. She smiled weakly before losing herself once more.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

But it was too late.

CRASH!!!

The ghost fled his vessel as it attempted to save the barrier, Amy falling to the floor unconscious as a result. Everyone who was captured fell the short distance, bracing for impact.

All, that is, except Sonic.

The spirit barely had a chance to react before the hedgehog’s emerald gaze locked on in fury, revving into a spindash and attacking over and over with his unrelenting wrath. The ghost screamed with each rapid strike, unable to maintain its physical form for much longer against such power.

However…

The ghost smiled.

Finally…

The perfect vessel.

It entered the hedgehog’s mind, ready to consume such raw strength as its own.

Darkness surrounded the spirit…

It should have been comforting…

And yet…

Glowing eyes pierced the spirit, shaking it to its core.

This…

This…is…

The ghost fled the hedgehog’s body before he even had a chance to process its entry. He continued to attack, the spirit relenting and disappearing from the scene. Sonic landed with a resounding huff, quelling the boiling rage within him as the ghost’s presence vanished. He quickly turned to the direction of the unconscious hedgehog with panic.

“AMY!!!”

“CHRIS!!!”

The famous actress ran to her injured son, embracing him much to his dismay, though he was too exhausted to fight against it.

“I know…I’m sorry…I won’t act so recklessly again…”

“I’m proud of you, son.”

Chris’s eyes widened.

“W-What? You aren’t upset with me?”

“No. You’ve grown up so fast and I…I can’t wait to see how you continue to grow…both of you…I know I’ve missed so much but I…I hope I can-”

“Of course you can…” Chris smiled, releasing a few tears, “...Mom.”

Eve smiled happily as Ella placed a tender and knowing hand on her shoulder.

Chartreuse eyes slowly blinked open, meeting those of an emerald hue.

“S-Sonic…?”

The blue hedgehog quickly hugged her in a trembling embrace, his typically cool demeanor slipping as panic overtook his voice.

“Amy, thank goodness you’re okay…”

The pink hedgehog blushed, having never seen such a side to him before. Sonic equally realized his slipup, his face turning bright red as he frantically scooped the pink hedgehog into his arms like any other friend and smiled comically.

“UUUUH! Y-You did great out there, Ames! You really showed that ghost who was boss! Heh heh heh!”

“Y-Yeah…” She looked to the bruised and battered Thorndyke siblings, a deep and unsettling wave of guilt washing over her.

Sonic noticed her shift in demeanor, “Amy?”

She continued to stare at Chris, watching as he winced in pain from the small fracture in his arm, “I-I…” She fought back a few tears.

Sonic followed her gaze, smiling gently when he realized what had to be going through her mind, “Hey…Chin up, Ames. He’ll be okay.” The boy in question turned to face the duo, having realized he was being stared at, “Chris is super strong, after all.” He offered the pained boy a wink, Chris returning one of his own with a sincere smile. Amy smiled tiredly before shifting her gaze from his and turning back towards Sonic’s chest to hide her face.

“Okay…”

Sonic turned to the group, offering his most-joyful demeanor to help lighten the mood, “Come on, gang! Let’s head back! I’m starved for more of Ella’s world-class chilidogs after all that!”

Ella chuckled before offering a flashy smile, “As soon as I find some staff and get these kids bandaged up, let’s have ourselves a real family meal made by yours truly!” She looked to the closer-than-ever siblings with a warm smile as they checked each other over for injuries, “I think we’ve earned it…”

“Oh! I would love to help, Ella!” The actress's eyes sparkled in anticipation, “I can make the kids’ favorites just like I used to!”

Chris and Eve began to sweat, preferring not to remember how their “favorites” turned out last time.

Ella knew better as well, “Er…yes…well…You can be my official assistant! Every great chef needs one, Lindsey! Ha ha ha!”

Lindsey gasped, “You. Are. Absolutely right, Ella! It’ll be just like when we were kids!” Her eyes sparkled more.

The Thorndyke siblings wiped the sweat from their brows, safe for now.

Tails began to drool just thinking about it, “Man, I could really go for some more of your mints…”

“...We’ve gotta work on your diet, Lil’ Bro…” The pair of brothers took up the rear as the group exited the castle chamber.

The young fox blushed, “I-I eat other things too!”

“Yeah…a small meal and five empty mint tins is not what I would call ‘healthy’...”

“Oh and like ten chilidogs is?”

“Hey! At least it’s actually food!”

The human girl helping her brother along up head giggled at their banter, none of them aware of the ghosts appearing behind them as they left.

“Fools…ghosts. Don’t. DIE.”

The malevolent spirits laughed, though none ever dared to challenge the hedgehog or his comrades ever again.

Sonic: Escape Plan

Amy Rose going crazy with her hammer swing

[spiinsparks]

— on sonic’s cunning. a note on innate charisma.

           ||. sonic doesn’t consider himself especially smart , nor does he consider himself especially analytical. those traits are reserved for people like tails and amy , who take the time to be slow and look at all the angles. (which sonic does quite naturally, actually. he makes a surprisingly good leader and battle strategist when he needs to , especially when it comes to factoring himself and his strengths and weaknesses alongside those of his friends. )

          sonic doesn’t  consider himself smart ... but he does consider himself CUNNING.  STREET SMART , if you will , and he relies on this cunning to get himself in and out of situations. in truth it’s  almost eerily fox-like , the lengths sonic could go to to get his way. if sonic really wanted to , with his natural charm , innate charisma and ever-present “cool factor” about him, he could swindle a person out of their entire life’s savings and they’d be thanking him for it.

        fact is that sonic is actually quite addictive a character. his natural calm-under-fire demeanor grants him , as stated , a sort of “cool factor” about him. people  WANT to earn his respect because  he makes little attempt to hide the fact that his respect (and trust)  will not come easily. he’s incredibly CHARMING to boot , and that makes people want to become his friend. for better or worse , people WANT to be noticed by sonic the hedgehog , even when he’s not especially willing to give undue attention or praise. (and this is  something that permeates even his closest friendships. re: sonic and tails, sonic and amy.)

       the truth of the matter is he’s actually quite PERSUASIVE. and this , when it goes untempered , can actually lead into a very natural , semi-unconscious sort of manipulation. to pull an example from canon source material to better explain my point:  SONIC X S1E20 “CRUISE BLUES” does a fantastic job of illustrating exactly what i mean from a manipulative standpoint.

       in this episode , be it with tails or amy ( ironic that it’s the 2 most susceptible to the ‘cool factor’ thing expressed earlier ) sonic is able to very swiftly and easily pinpoint weak points in both of his friends and exploit them. ie: tails’ affection for his machines + being eight years old and thus very susceptible to being told that the machines have feelings and miss him while tails is gone. and with amy.... using her affections for him ( and in part , his own affections for her if we wanna read into this given the actual rest of the show ) to get her to swing her hammer around like a mad-lady. AND ALL OF THIS so he can try to manipulate chris and chuck into turning the whole boat around so he can get off the water.

      ( we can talk about how they shouldn’t have brought him on the cruise in the first place and then proceeded to ignore his clear discomfort in favor of getting him to ‘relax’ and that making a very clear statement to sonic that they’re not going to listen to him asking nicely - because yknow. THEY DIDN’T — a different time but even without that particular detail and its context it wouldn’t really be especially relevant anyways. )

          POINT BEING: sonic has the capacity to bend his morals around and become incredibly manipulative. especially when he feels backed into a corner like on the cruise. he actually also uses this manipulative factor on the daily in smaller doses. things like deflecting during a conversation and managing to turn it around on the person he’s talking to without them ever noticing. (tails in particular is susceptible to this via ‘big brother rights’ treatment.) or otherwise just keeping everyone at arm’s length and not letting them in. 

            unless his mental state is Just That Bad , or he’s otherwise Off His Game (or he WANTS you to know) you would never know. sonic is able to keep an almost IMMACULATE control of himself , his conversations and the situations he’s presented.

          pair that with his incredible emotional intelligence , that he IS in fact , quite smart and analytical and can use details nobody else picks up on to get the upper hand , and then his own innate charm and “cool factor” and you’ve got a recipe for ... honestly some pretty morally grey interactions.

Rewatching Cruise Blues. My favorite Sonic X episode

[influencermagazineuk]

Revolutionizing Air Travel: NASA's Ambitious Project to Cut New York to London Flight Time to 1.5 Hours

In a bid to redefine the future of air travel, NASA is delving into the realm of supersonic technology with a groundbreaking project that aims to drastically reduce the flight time between New York and London to a mere 1.5 hours. This ambitious endeavor falls under NASA's Commercial Supersonic Technology Project, signaling a new era of rapid and efficient global transportation. In contrast to the current passenger planes cruising at an average speed of 600 mph, NASA is setting its sights on revolutionizing commercial aviation with a supersonic jet capable of traversing the skies at speeds ranging from Mach 2 to Mach 4, equivalent to an astounding 1,535 to 3,045 mph. However, the journey to achieve this supersonic feat is not without its challenges. Present flight regulations across the United States and various nations prohibit supersonic jets from flying over land due to concerns over sonic booms causing noise pollution. Determined to overcome this hurdle, NASA has outlined two pivotal objectives to pave the way for supersonic flights over land. At the heart of these efforts is the Quesst mission, an initiative through which NASA is crafting the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft. Distinguished by its innovative technology designed to mitigate the deafening roar of a sonic boom into a gentle, ground-level thump, the X-59 is poised to reshape the sonic landscape of supersonic flight. NASA's plan involves flying the X-59 over U.S. skies, meticulously analyzing the impact of its softened sonic boom on the populace. The objective is clear: to amass empirical data that will substantiate the case for revising the regulations barring overland supersonic flights. Drawing inspiration from the advancements achieved through the X-59 program, the commercial supersonic jet will emerge as the culmination of NASA's groundbreaking work. Lori Ozoroski, the esteemed project manager for NASA's Commercial Supersonic Technology Project, remarked, "A decade ago, we embarked on similar concept studies at Mach 1.6-1.8, and the insights gleaned from those studies have guided NASA's research trajectory ever since, including the pivotal strides toward the X-59." As the project accelerates, NASA is poised to award two 12-month contracts to select companies, tasking them with crafting comprehensive concept designs and technology roadmaps. These roadmaps will not only chart the uncharted territory of high-speed air travel but will also delineate potential risks, challenges, and essential technologies necessary to translate the vision of Mach 2-plus travel into an operational reality. Among the distinguished companies entrusted with these pivotal contracts are aerospace giants like Boeing and GE Aerospace, along with pioneering entities such as Rolls-Royce North American Technologies, Blue Ridge Research and Consulting, and Boom Supersonic. In essence, NASA's Commercial Supersonic Technology Project signifies a monumental leap forward in the realm of aviation. By harnessing cutting-edge innovations, rigorous research, and strategic partnerships, NASA is rewriting the narrative of air travel, offering a tantalizing glimpse into a future where crossing the Atlantic in less than two hours becomes not just a possibility, but a remarkable reality.

The best Sonic ship is objectively the cruise ship from the Sonic X episode "Cruise Blues".
