A Void if Neccesary

"Found you, Hedgehog"

The ghastly obese man stared hungrily at the screen at the site of his arch rival trespassing through the vile rubbish and debris the pointy headed landlord considered a dream metropolis.

He noticed a slight smirk from the blue hedgehog that was digitally in front of him and the pointy headed man responded with a violent and hatred filled twitch at the horrible site of happiness within his home land.

He inched his robotic arm upwards slightly and began revealing a laser shooter tucked within his index finger, before popping back into reality when a familiar sound of static blared through his barely visible ear holes vibrating what little he had of eardrums from the many close encounters of sonic booms he had suffered from in his distorted life. For the surveillance camera had been brutally attacked and destroyed all by the simplicity of the common rock. 20 years of technological advancement wiped out by a simple cause but by an intense enemy, that bypassed all the intelligence the obese man had.

The firm, pointy headed man proceeded to push several buttons in a simple pattern that he had clearly been accustomed to for a while and swivelled the electronic, Irish green chair in a perfect 180 degrees, before steadily coming to a halt.

Now that he had turned, the few lights that actually existed in the room shone onto him partially, mostly being blocked by the heaps of pollution swallowing the air and light whole, as if it where a devastating black hole.

This wide gutted man was perfectly round on the chest as if he ate a huge ball and was unable to digest it. He wore metallic gloves that were one size to big as if he was still a young child waiting to grow into his quickly bought clothing. A blood red and black shirt with outward stretching collars covered the ball beneath his neck and was chained in by very long belts that made a golden cross against his chest with a circular socket smack in the centre. He also wore very dark trousers that were made out of the same pollution stained aluminium gloves as well as having accompanying shoes to compliment the look.

He hated the look of himself. There was still to much brightness in his clothing, but he was restricted to what he could wear and unfortunately had to accept it.

The only two factors he loved about his looks was his dark orange that stretched across his egghead of a face before splitting in to three spikes at the very end. The other factor was his eyes... his jet black eyes that could penetrate the hearts of the innocent in the matter of 10 seconds, which were strongly complimented by his glowing red eyes that strongly intimidated the weak to never look him in the eye.

For this man was Doctor Julian Robotnik, the leader of Robo-tropolis and potentially one day, the entire world of Mobius.

"Snively! Come here at once and bring the Void M-Bomb with you, now!" Julian roared into the in built microphone of the highly advanced chair with removable cup holder.

Slightly hesitated breathing brushed passed the microphone as Snively picked up his microphone to respond to his 'boss'.

"Yes, sir" replied the scared Snively, whilst proceeding to pick up the required device for Robotnik's next scheme.

Within seconds of Snively's response, the automatic door of Robotnik's cold and dark surveillance chamber opened from left and right of Snively before proceeding to close when Sinvely entered the cloud smothered room.

Snively was very different to Robotnik, despite the fact that Snively was his nephew. He was a stubborn man, not only by the way he thinks and talks to others he address but also based upon his height. An extraordinary physical issue that Snively was born with was his pointy long nose that looks as sharp as a never used before pin, but as soft as the centre of a recently fluffed up pillow. He wore an extra small dark green shirt with removable ends to give him the freedom of long or short sleeves, while sporting lime green size 2 trousers, finished off with spit cleaned black business shoes.

Robotnik didn't support his look. In fact, Robotnik didn't support Snively for anything. He even reduced him to a slave by disowning him as a nephew and forcing Snively to call him 'Sir'. Ever since Robotnik's rise, Snively's respect for him has dwindled down steadily, while his insanity has rocketed up since the near sights of power have occurred with several blunders that almost cost Robotnik's life.

"Come here, Snively." Robotnik whispered while ushering the pointy noised nephew of his with his left hand.

"Sir, the rodent was seen in Sector I-15 just a moment ago. Several robot forces are attempting to manoveur him into the Anti-Void Room" Snively calmly replied.

"Excellent" Robotnik responded with a grin. "Set the lock down systems on the Anti-Void Room, so that the doors immediately lock when that speedy devil enters the room. Then he shall have his 'farewell present' " Robotnik chuckled to himself.

Snively offered Robotnik the large metallic cylinder encrypted with many warning symbols, for Robotnik happily cradled the M-Void Bomb in his chubby hands.

It was a simple bomb but infused with the Void to make it essentially an easily transported and deployable Void in the hands of those who held it.

After all, it was a great substitute to the Void as Robotnik had recently lost communications with the original one and resorted to a more efficient and powerful one that not only sucked anything into an alternative dimension but into any of the 4 universes in the local multi-verse. For this universe was the SATAM universe.

"Hmmm, Let's go for Universe EQ." Robotnik muttered while navigating through the small touchscreen attached to the bomb. Robotnik grinned menacingly at the device, due to the immense power of not just a Void but of a power ring infused within just a small cylinder. It was a sight difficult to admire; like child birth, but more unexpected (and less painfully). The device could also be used 4 times and obviously as well as Sonic, he had others he wished to be rid of on this pla--

"Sir! Monitor 7! CODENAME: Rodent has been caught in the Anti-Void Room" exploded Snively as he disrupted Robotnik's thoughts.

"Yes, Yes, YES!" Robotnik cheered as he struggled to lift his body off his chair and headed towards the large and damaged screen.

Robotnik and Snively glared at the dark and pollutant present room that a certain little blue hedgehog was now enclosed in. The evil laughs started spurting out as the concerned Sonic started looking for possible escape routes.

"Hehe. Come now, Snively. Let's give Sonic a personal goodbye."

"With pleasure" responded the strongly influenced Snively as the two proceeded to walk at a fast rate to experience the moment of the hedgehogs suffering sooner.

"Oh, bad news!" stuttered the nervous blue blur as he leaped around the foggy and derelict room.

No matter what the poor protagonist did even with his anti-gravity sneakers and chilli dog filled stomach. The hedgehog began to realise that this may be his unwanted and most feared fate; being defeated by an obese human who barely has the ability to run.

The hedgehog than spotted a glistening in the corner of his eye in which light had refracted on to cause a spectre to reflect into his eyes. It came from a pipe, the only clean object in the unhygienic room that hung from the wall just below what appeared to be a very dirty glass sonic-proof screen. Unfortunately, it was covered by sonic proof rubber covering. Sonic was hopeless.

Suddenly the in room lights splattered on, blinding the already blind fated hedgehog. He was greeted with a familiar wheeze laugh. And behind the glass screen stood the antagonist himself. Dr. Julian Robotnik and Snively who were in a very air-tight room that only contained a simple dashboard with the buttons 'Open' and 'Close', aswell as the sonic-proof screen and another Irish green chair that patiently waited for the massive weight to suffocate it even more.

"So nice of you to join us hedgehog." Julian spoke happily into the rusty microphone standing proudly on the dashboard.

"Oh, hi Robuttnik." The nervous blue spiky ball responded as calmly and cocky as possible. Robotnik ignored his petty insult as usual.

"So. Tell me rodent, how does it feel to always be imprisoned in a derelict and hate filled room with nothing to do but absorb pollution?" Robotnik smirked.

"Hmmm, it's not to good" the hedgehog replied impatiently.

"Well it's equivalent to Utopia for me!" Robotnik chuckled alongside with Snively as he prepared to open the hatch of the pipe using the damaged dashboard.

"But, seeing as your a filthy immagrint bypassing my land, I'll let you go to a more suitable matroplolis" Robotnik exclaimed.

"Ah, okay then. Chilli-Dog land it is then" Sonic happily replied.

"Ye-- NO!" Robotnik screamed into the now shocked with vibration microphone.

Robotnik grew tired of the hedgehog who had now proceeded to pull faces at him while also making rude gestures. Due to his now enraging annoyance spurted from the hedgehog. Robotnik pressed the 'Open' button himself,which proceeded to open the in wall pipe on both sides of the wall. Immediately Sonic spotted this. Robotnik began to dribble to pour the anger and soon to be happiness at the site of the hedgehogs fate, and began feeling a tingling sensation all over his round body as he lifted the M-Void Bomb, and became distracted by his evil chuckle.

"Sweet Dreams, Ro- AGH!!" Robotnik was interupted as a blue blur spin dashed it's way through the small and now crumpled spike in a matter of a sonic second. As both the blue spiky ball and M-Void Bomb flung into the unhealthy air at great speed, Robotnik landed onto a small spiky surface.

"Snively! Catch that rod--" Robotnik was interupted by a sudden flash of purple and yellow circular light that now over-took the centre of the room.

The M-Void Bomb was activated.

Snively and Robotnik grabbed onto the dashboard as it bent and buckled by the extreme G-Force of the void but was still capable for holding on to it's own life, meanwhile Sonic held on to the electronic chair and held on for dear life as the energy from the Void began distorting the chairs look.

Due to the powerful force of the Void and the more powerful weight of the mad scientist, the half of the dashboard that Robotnik gritted his robotic arm into gained invisible wings as it flew into the Void and with extreme timing Robotnik focused his grip of the dashboard and dug it deep into the flailing leg of Snively.

"Hold on, Snivley! Only around 10 seconds before it de-activate it's self!" yelled Robotnik.

As Snively gritted his teeth into almost smashing from the immense peer pressure... in his small mind everything went silent. He slowly turned his head towards Robotnik, and gave Robotnik the biggest, most terrifying smile in Mobius. Robotnik's determined face became an 'O' of confusion.

"Goodbye, my pathetic Uncle Julian!" grinned Snively. The Doctors black eyes widened, before being forcefully shut from the strong impact of a small smartly worn shoe, causing Robotnik's grip to become non-existent as he flew through the polluted air towards the hovering inferno.

There was a scream.

Then there wasn't a scream.

The inter-dimensional rift disintegrated before materialising back into the now distorted cylinder as Snively fell and as the chair fell out of it's hinges revealing a flabbergasted Sonic, quaking in every bone the anthromorphic hedgehog had.

*************************************************

The same inferno blasted quietly in a lifeless but colourful forest. Pencils, small robotic machinery was spat out of the hungry hole, before spitting out its final course of its meal; Robotnik. Who slumped right into his chest as he landed heavily onto his backside.

Nothing but silence exploded from Robotnik until he was able to gain the ability to think normally again.

"You..." he breathed hesitating from the past experience "betrayed me Snively." he continued quietly before proceeding to inch himself upwards with the little energy he had stored within him.

A Void then appeared in front of his colourless eyes...
