THE CHRONICLES OF JASON DRUMMOND

Book Two: Dark Shadows

Chapter 12: The Egg-Trocity and the Villain Revealed

"The enemies have been spotted!" An Egg Pawn shouted, charging forward with its lance, but was pushed aside by the running Mobians. "Err... yes! Run in fear you cow-" the Pawn said before its head was caved in by one of Doctor Eggman's new tentacles.

"TRICKSTER!!" Eggman, or Egg-Trocity as Jason had mentally dubbed him, shouted. "WE WILL GET YOU!!"

"JASON, WHY DON'T YOU JUST THROW A FLASHBANG AT HIM!?!?" Selina shouted at him.

"... I AM AN IDIOT!!" Jason shouted, turning round and throwing an active flash bang at the Egg-Trocity, but all it did was make the possessed scientist stumble a bit. "... oh." Jason said before turning around and running after Sonic and his friends.

"I don't get it, why didn't the flashbangs work!?" Selina shouted to Jason.

"I dunno, maybe his glasses or his goggles protected him!!" Jason shouted back as they rounded a corner.

"Quickly, in here!" Jamie shouted before jumping down a garbage chute with Tails and Amy following.

"Urgh, do we really have to jump down a-" Jason started to say when Egg-Trocity appeared around the corner with a roar. "Never mind!!" he shouted, leaping down the chute, Selina and Neo close hind him, the latter nearly getting grabbed by one of the Doctor's tentacles. Jason hit the bottom of the garbage disposal, landing on a broken Egg Fighter head. "Ow." He muttered, starting to get up, but was forced back onto the ground by Selina and Neo landing on his back. "Ow!"

"If we find a dianuga down here, I'm gonna kill your brother!" Selina muttered, shaking the water out off her tail. At least, Jason hoped it was water, given the horrible smell and the water's color.

"What the <bleep> is a dianuga!?!" Jason said in exasperation.

"It's that squid thing from Star Wars Episode IV; A New Hope, you know, from the scene in the garbage chute. It's what attacked Luke." Selina explained.

"... HOW THE <bleep> DO YOU KNOW THAT <bleep>!?!?!?" Jason shouted after a few seconds of dumbfounded silence.

"Hey, I like Star Wars a lot, okay!?" Selina said.

"Why are you two even talking about some movie when our very lives are threatened by that thing?!" Jamie said with as much exasperation as his brother.

For several minutes Jamie, Selina, and Jason argued with each other, while Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Neo just stood there watching them awkwardly. At least, until they were interrupted by a noise.

"The hell?" Jason asked looking around, when he noticed a pile of scrap metal shift around. "OH <bleep>, IT'S THE DIANUGA!!" he shouted, comically leaping into Selina's arms, but the pile shifted apart to reveal not a squid-type monster, but instead Orbot. "... oh, it was... just Orbot... heh..." Jason said nervously, and was promptly dropped by Selina. "But wait, what are you doin' down here?" Jason asked, getting up and squeezing out the water that his jacket had absorbed.

"The Doctor had me thrown down here when he decided to upgrade the Egg Knights, claiming I was too annoying." Orbot explained.

"Hey, do you know what's going on with Egghead? He's now, like, evil. Er." Jason said.

"A while ago, the Doctor recovered the storage tank of the Egg Leach, but all he got was a large concentration of negative Chaos energy in a thick, tar-like form."  Orbot explained.

"Wait, the Egg Leach? You mean that thing I fought like, what, a month ago?" Jason asked.

"That is correct." Orbot conformed. "But the energy wasn't normal, it was alive."

"Alive? How can energy be alive!?" Tails asked.

"I dunno, but that wasn't how Mephiles was created." Jason said, worry in his voice.

"The energy being didn't address himself as Mephiles." Orbot said.

"Really? Then what did it call itself??" Jason asked.

"The being referred to itself as-" Orbot began, but a loud BANG! interrupted him before he could say the name.

"TRICKSTER!!" Egg-Trocity shouted, slamming his fists against the wall where a door was.

"Oh <bleep>!" Jason said under his breath. "Orbot, is there any way to stop that monster thing??"

"Yes, the Doctor had a robot outfitted with a single shot positive Chaos energy cannon, though the robot was scrapped, and its remains are locked away in the Doctor's personal lab." Orbot said.

"Can you take us here??" Tails asked.

"Indubitably." Orbot said, but looked at the wall, which, despite the sheer thickness of it, was beginning to dent in several places. "However, there is no escape from here, ergo it is useless to talk about weapons that are out of reach."

"Not for long!" Jason said. "Selina, line that doorway with explosives!! We're gonna blow our way outta here!"

"Gotcha!" Selina said, running to the doorway and she began applying the explosives.

"We've got some bombs as well!" Tails said, pulling out his CHU2 bombs, while Sonic and Amy also pulled out their respective explosives and gave them to the foxes.

"Good, line those up as well! Neo, Jamie, help me find a barrier to protect us from the blast!!" Jason said, digging around the scrap metal, his brother and the android helping him.

After a few minutes, the foxes finished rigging up the explosives. "Okay, we're done!" Tails called out.

"Good, cause we're nearly finished too!" Jamie called back, who was using his flamethrower as a welding torch to attach several Egg Pawn shields together into a protective barrier. "Done!" Jamie said, finishing the last of the welding.

"Okay, now get behind here!" Jason said, leaping over the edge of the shield while the others did the same.

"How're you gonna set off the bomb??" Amy asked.

"Jamie, can you set the remote mine to detonate at the bombs?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, sure thi-" Jamie began to say, but one of Egg-Trocity's tentacles bursting through the wall stopped him from finishing his sentence. "AHHH!"

"Jamie, hurry!" Selina shouted. Quickly taking aim Jamie fired his remote controlled mine at the wall, maneuvering it around the tentacle and hitting the explosives, setting them off and making the door fly off from the explosion and sending Egg-Trocity into a wall.

"Quickly, go!" Jason shouted, leaping over the shield and running out of the garbage disposal while carrying Orbot, the others following suite. "Okay, which way??"

"Go left after passing the third hallway." Orbot instructed, Jason obeying once they reached it. Behind them, the heard a crash and a roar.

"Guess Egg-Trocity isn't too happy that we blew up a door in his face." Jason said worriedly.

"Egg-Trocity?" Jamie asked.

"What else are we gonna call that thing?" Jason reasoned, Jamie shrugging in response, having no other names. Once they reached the laboratory, Jason slammed the door shut, and began piling everything that wasn't bolted down in front of it. "You guys go fix the weapon, I'll stay here and keep Egg-Trocity occupied!" Jason said, shoving a large desk in front of the doors.

"I'll stay here and help you hold him off!" Sonic said. "Besides, I don't know anything about science."

"I'll help too!" Jamie said.

"No bro, you go back there where it's safe." Jason said, pulling out Renewed Hope when he heard Egg-Trocity approaching.

"Jason, I can fight now! I'm a freakin' robot! Let me help you!" Jamie said, Egg-Trocity's hissing and growling coming steadily closer.

"Argh... alright, FINE! You can help!" Jason said angrily. "The rest of you, take the weapon, go behind the door, and barricade it!"

"Okay, good luck!!" Tails said, grabbing the shotgun-like weapon off of the robot and taking it to another room, Selina, Amy, and Neo following.

"Good, now we can concentrate on stopping that Atrocity rip off." Jason said, the Egg-Trocitiy's fist soon pounding against the door, which eventually gave way.

"Trickster!" the monster roared out, his glasses now noticeably cracked enough for the bright orange eyes to shine through. "We will kill you where you stand!"

"Oh yeah? And how can you do that if I'm constantly MOVING!!" Jason said, running towards Egg-Trocity and throwing a flash bang grenade in his face, which now did some damage to the possessed mad scientist, but not enough to free him from the control.

"Your weapons won't be enough to stop me!!" Egg-Trocity said in an almost smug tone before lunging his tentacles at Jason, but was knocked away by Jamie's shield. "You! You ungrateful brat!!"

"You turned me into a robot bent on killing Jason!!" Jamie shouted angrily, a laser cannon forming over Jamie's unshielded arm, which glowed a bright blue and fired a charged laser shot.

Egg-Trocity blocked the shot with his tentacles, loosing a few metal parts in the process. "Those were not my actions, but the Doctor's, and he deserves death for failing you!!" the second voice said, sounding vaguely familiar, and although it sounded a lot like Mephiles' voice, Jason could tell that it wasn't his voice.

"Jason doesn't deserve death!!" Sonic shouted, trying to use a homing attack to cut off one of the tentacles, but was grabbed by another and thrown off to the side.

"Oh he does, AND WE SHALL DELIVER IT TOO HIM!!" Egg-Trocity shouted, his tentacles going around Jamie and wrapping around Jason, who screamed in pain as Egg-Trocity drained away his chaos energy, feeling a lot like the Egg Leach's Chaos Siphon. "NOW YOU SHALL DIE, TRICKSTER, FOR YOUR FAILURES IN YOUR FAKE, PATHETIC LIFE!!"

"OH NO HE WON'T!!" Selina shouted, aiming the energy cannon at Egg-Trocity and firing a thick stream of positive chaos energy at Egg-Trocity, making him release Jason and howl in pain as the black goo was forced off of Eggman's back, a face forming amongst the sludge for half a second, screaming in agony from the energy before vanishing. "C'mon, get OFF!" Selina shouted while tugging the stream as if the cannon was a fishing pole, the monster finally being forced off of Eggman, the strength of the pull sending the creature into a glass capsule that shattered, releasing more of the substance, but no one noticed it as they were too busy helping Jason up. "Are you alright??"

"Besides the monster sized headache, the fact that I'm really hungry, and that I think my shoulder's dislocated, I'm just PEACHY." Jason said, gripping his left shoulder and wincing.

"Alright, I'm gonna try to pop it back into place, okay?" Selina said, Jason nodding and gritting his teeth. "One..." she gripped his arm, "two..." she hunched over, "THREE!" she pushed his arm, making it move back into place.

"AHH!" Jason yelled in pain, making Eggman flinch from the sheer volume. "Oh <bleep> that was a mother<bleep>ing pain!!" he said, moving his arm a bit to test it. "But, it's back in place now." Jason said, getting to his feet, and noticed Eggman crying from his spot on the floor. "Eggman?

"Doc?" Sonic said uncertainly, slowly approaching the sobbing scientist.

"Are you okay?" Jamie asked, and yelped in shock when Eggman suddenly pulled him into a hug.

"I'M SO SORRY!" he said, his greyish blue eyes filled with tears. "I'M SO SORRY I CURSED YOU TO THIS COLD, LIFLESS BODY!! I-I wasn't thinking straight, it was that, that, that monster! It was influencing my actions, lowering my morals and obliterating my limits!!" he said in a fast tone that caught everyone off guard.

"Doc, it's alright! Just transfer Jamie's soul back into his original body and-" Jason began.

"I CAN'T!! I HAD HIS BODY INCINERATED!!!" Eggman interrupted.

"You WHAT!?" Jason shouted.

"I'm sorry, but there's no way I can restore your brother!" Eggman sobbed, when he noticed the creature, in it's sludge-like form, crawling away. "THE MONSTER!! IT'S ESCAPING!!" he shouted, pointing at it.

"Oh <bleep>!" Selina shouted, running after the creature, toting the Chaos Energy cannon with her, everyone except Eggman following.

"Attention, all robots!! Ignore Trickster, Sonic, their friends, and intercept the Chaos energy creature, repeat, DO NOT LET IT GET AWAY!!" Eggman shouted into an intercom, every robot in the base immediately stopping its action and going down to the creature.

"It's headed for the hanger bay!!" Jamie shouted, placing his hand on the Chaos Energy cannon to copy it into his arsenal.

"DO NOT WORRY, THIS UNIT SHALL STOP IT!!" an Egg Pawn said, firing his laser pistol at the creature, which hissed at the laser bolts and immediately took a detour down the shaft of an elevator that had just opened up. "THE ELEVATOR LEADS DOWN TO THE GENERATOR ROOM, WHICH IS A DEADEND, HURRY AND INTERCEPT IT BEFORE IT ESCAPES FROM THERE!! USE THE MAINTENANCE ELEVATOR!!!" The Pawn quickly told them, the heroes quickly running off and reaching the elevator doors.

"C'mon, hurry up!!" Selina said anxiously, mashing the button to call the elevator.

"No time!" Jason said, spin dashing into the door and busting it open, and allowing him to fall down the shaft. "Jamie! A little help!!" Jason shouted, not really happy that he failed to think the plan through. Thankfully his brother caught up to him and grabbed him, slowing him down enough to land on the floor and homing attack through the doors. "Oh <bleep>, the creature's escaping!!" Jamie shouted, pointing to the monster which was moving quickly to a bridge that spanned the chasm between the generator's platform  and the exit.

"I got this!!" Jamie said, running over to the bridge and firing his arm cannon, hitting the metal structure enough times to make it break away and tumble into the vast region below, shutting off the only other exit from the room. "HAH! You're trapped here Mephiles!!" Jamie shouted triumphantly.

"Mephiles?? Don't compare me to that coward!!" the creature said in an insulted tone.

"But... you have to be Mephiles, right?" Jamie asked.

"Don't be ridiculous!! Mephiles is one half of the sun god Solaris, who was erased from time and space, so you are an idiot for believing that I was something as pathetic as that coward!!" the monster hissed, slowly rising up to take on a form that did look a lot like Mephiles' first form, but also had several noticeable differences.

For one, he clearly had a jagged mouth with an equally jagged Glasgow smile along his filthy muzzle, and there were streaks in his upward pointing quills, but they were a very dark grey, making them barely visible, he also had a tuft of fur on his chest. He wore no gloves, but had what looked like filthy, blood-stained bandages around his wrists, with his fingers ending with long, wickedly cerated claws, and his eyes, though they were reptilian much like Mephiles', his irises were bright yellow that held insanity and pure hatred towards Jason.

"... dude, you looked like a <bleep>ed up fusion of several Tails Doll pictures on the Internet and Mephiles' first form." Jason said in a joking tone, though it was evident that he was actually very nervous of the monster, that hadn't taken its eyes off of him since they were first formed.

"Hiding your real emotions with a fake smile, typical." the monster said, glancing off to the side for a moment to see Selina, Amy, Neo, Sonic, and Tails come down in the elevator. "And yet again my idol and friends ally themselves with the faker."

"Okay, you know what!? I am SICK of you calling me faker! WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH!?!?" Jason said angrily, before realizing that his anger came out of nowhere.

"... since it seems I am trapped here for the moment, I might as well grant you the knowledge of why I despise the very ground you walk upon." the monster said calmly, his form changing once more, but into a human form, and when it was finished changing, Jason stepped back in horror.

It was the same person from his nightmare, the same unkempt, greasy hair, the same old and ruined tuxedo with the built in cape, the same heavily scarred face with yellow eyes. But the thing that made him so horrified was that he know knew who's face it was now.

"I.... am the REAL Jason Roger Drummond, but unlike this miserable faker here," the monster said while pointing at Jason, "I succeeded in saving my brother."
:evillaugh: [link] :evillaugh:

Oh YEAH folks!! Your eyes aren't deceiving you, the monster wasn't Mephiles the Dark, but a monster clone of Jason himself, whom I have dubbed... NEGA Jason!!! (Yay for creativity ^^)

I know, I know, you're all thinking "BUT YOU TOLD US IT WAS MEPHILES!!" Well, lemme ask you: Did I myself ever address the villain as Mephiles directly?

Oh, and BTW, Nega Jason is now available for use in RPing.^^
