(Hey guys! Sorry for not posting much but I’ve been very tired lately. Damn school. Mumble, mumble. Anyway… I changed the writing style temporally since I need more narration for this fic anyway. Hope you like it.) --What if?-- --Prologue-- It is rumored that there exists infinite alternate universes. Each one different from the other. Even if ever so slightly. What is fiction here could be reality elsewhere. --Part I-- TPCG HQ is as normal. The main room is decorated with a TV, two chairs, and a couch. And also as usual Riochet is asleep on the couch pissing of others because Shorty and Sonique took the chairs. “I want to sit down!” Hyper Mac was talking to Shorty. In our original dimension H. Mac left TPCG (And came back twice). However here he had never left in the first place. “You’ve got to sit in the chair all day!” “So?” Shorty looked innocently at H. Mac. “So… you should…” H. Mac was at a loss of words. “H. Mac!” Edge motioned to the hedgehog. It is also worth noting that Edge had never died and therefore no one was able to make fun of him about it. Although strangely, Riochet still does. This has never been explained but is better left unknown. “Just come sit down and play cards.” “Fine…” H. Mac plopped down on the floor in front of Edge. “Go fish.” “Edge!” Doctor Zachary came in the room from the kitchen. I’m sure you can assume why he’s here. No flame war, yadda, yadda, yadda. “What happened to all the cereal?” Edge turned to look at Zac. “I don’t know… ask Riochet.” “Go fish” H. Mac told Edge emotionlessly. Zac walked over and shook Riochet. “Riochet! Wake up!” “Uh!? What!?” Riochet shot up suddenly. It should be noted that strangely, Riochet is exactly as he was in our dimension. He still can’t drive, makes fun of Edge’s dying, and oddly enough hates Zac. However it is even stranger still that no one else seems to think his behavior is odd. “Oh, it’s you. What do you want?” “I want to know what happened to the cereal.” Zac’s mood began not quite as nice now. “Go fish” H. Mac said to Edge yet again. His voice was gathering a mean edge to it. Edge meanwhile was more interested in listening to Zac and Riochet. “What about the cereal?” Riochet asked innocently. “It’s all gone, and I’m hungry.” Zac answered. “So? What do you want ME to do about it?” “Tell me why you ate it all.” “What makes you think I ate it all?” “Go fish” H. Mac added again, still not getting a response from Edge. Just then Ami walked in. Shorty smiled and looked at her. “Hi Ami!” Ami glared at Shorty and retorted, “Bite me loser.” Again it will be noted that after Ami and Shorty’s fight they never made up. She looked at Edge and pointed toward Riochet and Zac. “What’s going on with them?” Edge looked up momentarily. “Oh! Hi Ami.” He looked back at the other two. “Riochet ate all the cereal.” “Go fish.” H. Mac’s voice was increasing in annoyance. Yet he was still not getting a response. “What makes me think you ate it?” Zac continued his argument. “You have cereal all over you and there’s a bowl by the couch.” Riochet looked at Zac blankly. “That could mean anything.” “Like that you ate the cereal?” “Maybe, but you shouldn’t jump to conclusions.” “Go fish.” Guess who said that? (HINT: H. Mac) “Conclusions!?” This argument continued for about an hour afterward. It eventually ended in Riochet saying something about oppression and leaving in the PCG Mobile. ---------------------- The Bad Guy Underground Base (TBGUB) is the same as it is in our Universe too. The only difference is two things: 1) Zac isn’t there, 2)SaMaNtHa, Potato Man, Andre, and AJ are. “So what’s our evil plan for today?” Hougan sat in the second seat on the left side of a rectangular table. As you can guess, Hougan doesn’t elongate his words. But strangely everyone makes fun of him for it. Just like Riochet, this can’t be explained. TSP hummed. He sat at the end of the long rectangular table. The only difference with TSP is his site is actually half-decent. “How ‘bout this…” SaMaNtHa interrupted suddenly. “N, THT WLL NVR WRK!!!” (TRANS: No, that will never work.) As for Samantha… you still can’t understand her but instead of random typos and spelling errors, she just doesn’t add vowels. Andre looked at Samantha. “He dnt sar nutn!” (TRANS: He didn’t say nothing!) Andre was the one stuck with the random typos and such. “As I was saying…” TSP continues, “If we can just ambush a member and use him as hostage…” “Great idea!” AJ spoke up. “And good timing too! The PCG Mobile is heading this way!” -To Be Continued… What do you all think? COMMENTS PLEASE!!! --Previously (as if you care)-- Munkee is standing by the projector. “Hi all! TloB and I are here to give you a recap since I’m too lazy to add either of us to the story! Go ahead TloB!” TloB nods. “I rather be in the story….” “Too bad, you’re doing this.” Munkee snapped. TloB sighs, “Fine… okay last time Munkee just gave you an introduction to the universe. H.Mac and Zac are still members of TPCG, Ami and Shorty never made up, Riochet’s exactly the same.” “Right,” Munkee nodded. “And after arguing with Zac Riochet left in TPCG mobile…” “…where he’s about to be assaulted by the Anti-TPCG.” TloB piped in. “So now without further ado… What if? Chapter two” Munkee starts up the projector. “Remember, silence is golden…” TloB gets an odd look from Munkee as he says this. “What…?” --------------------------------------------------- --What if?-- --Chapter II-- *A fan fic guaranteed to get at least five people asking where they are in it because I can’t include every single person in this type of a fan fic. But I try anyway.* TPCG Mobile bumped as Riochet drove it over constant hills at a hundred miles an hour. Little did Riochet know but Hougan and Andre were following him in plane. He was more interested in the speedometer. “There’s no way I’m going a hundred miles an hour!” Riochet was alarmed. “I have the pedal to the floor, this thing can go two hundred!” He suddenly noticed that’s the max for the speedometer and it can’t show two hundred. However he wouldn’t be able to think too long about because at that moment Andre dropped onto the top of the van. Riochet’s eyes widened. “What!?” As soon as those words left his mouth Andre swung in and kicked Riochet in the jaw. “Tac cat!” (Notice cat is tac spelled backwards? ^_^) (TRANS: Take that!) “Ow! That hurt…” Riochet rubbed his chin. But as he did Andre sprayed some sleeping gas in his face (Riochet’s). “woah…” and Riochet falls asleep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, in the main room of TPCG HQ. Shorty and Sonique are still sitting in the chairs. Zac took Riochet’s spot at being asleep on the couch. Meanwhile Seven *go fish is the most boring game ever* X and Ami joined Edge and H. Mac in cards. Seven yawned and asked Edge, “Do you have any 5’s” “Crap!” Edge exclaimed as he threw three fives at Seven. “Take them!” “Thank you…” Seven replied happily as she took the cards. “Would guys stop!?” Sonique asked them. “It’s annoying.” “That’s just cause your jealous.” Ami smiled without looking at Sonique. “Jealous?” Sonique looked amazed. “Why would I be jealous?” “Cuz’ it’s just such an awesome game…” H. Mac continued Ami’s train of thought. “…” Sonique thought about this. “Let me play…” She stood up and walked over to them. “Zoonk!” H. Mac exclaimed as he stole Sonique’s chair. “Haha! I knew I could get you up!” “Hey!” Sonique exclaimed. “Guys…?” Edge looked up. “It’s been a few hours since we last saw Riochet… what do you think happened?” “He’s fine…” Shorty replied calmly. “Riochet can take care of himself…” Shorty leaned back in his chair. “Turnip…” “PARSNIP!!!” Ami yelled angrily. ---------------------------------------------------- Riochet’s vision began to clear. “Ugh…” He looked upward. “TBGUB… crap…” He looked around and noticed he was chained to the wall. “Crap… I gotta find a way to notify the others… Then I need to eat some cheese.” (What will happen to Riochet? Will he eat some cheese? Who will be the next guest recaper? Will Sonique get her chair back? Which is better, turnips or parsnips? What number am I thinking of? Some of this may be answered if I feel like it. So don’t hold your breath.) --Previously-- Munkee is standing by the projector (again). “Okay, this time I’ve got Seth and SonKnuck to help me recap. Go ahead.” Seth starts recaping. “This is an alternate universe, where things… are different. And stuff.” SonKnuck smacks him on the head. “Shut up! Okay so, Zac is still a member of TPCG, Shorty and Ami never made up…” Seth interrupted, “…and Riochet didn’t change at all. However after arguing with Zac-“ SonKnuck knocks Seth unconscious. “I WAS TALKING!!! Okay, Riochet was ambushed by Hougan and Andre. He’s captured and put in a cell. And… that’s… it…” “Thank you…” Munkee slanted an eyebrow at Seth who was lying on the ground. “I guess we’ll start now.” He starts the projector. “I need a coke…” Munkee walks over the unconscious Seth and into the kitchen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --What if?-- --Chapter III-- Riochet looked franticly for a method of escape. He suddenly noticed a messenger bird up in the window to the cell. “Hey… here birdie…” The bird flew quietly toward him. “Chirp chirp.” “Yeah… look I need your help…” He began to write on a piece of cloth. “See this? I need you to deliver it to the name at the top.” He wrapped it around the bird’s foot. The bird flew off. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Zac was suddenly awoken as a bird crashed through the ceiling and hit him in the back. “OW!” He turned around. “Uh…? It’s got a note.” He took the note off and stood up. “What’s it say?” Seven asked excitedly. “Uh… it says:” Zac read the note out loud. “Zac- Stop blaming me for eating the cereal! What makes you think I did it? Don’t jump to conclusions! Oh, and don’t let Edge get this note. It might kill him. -Riochet P.S. I’m trapped in a dungeon, it’s kinda cold. You might want to save me…” “Did you hear that?” Ami asked. “Yeah,” Shorty stood up. “He’s still denying that he ate the cereal!!!” Edge looked at Shorty. “Not that! He’s trapped in a dungeon!” H.Mac shrugged. “So?” Sonique countered. “So… we need to rescue him!” Shorty “…okay.” They all stand up and go outside. To be continued… (Last part was short, I know. You’re probually expected an explanation like “I had to leave suddenly” “My parents told me to get off the computer” or something like that. Well… the truth is I’m just lazy.) --Recap-- Zac looks back and forth. “Ha ha! He’s gone. I’m gonna destroy this fic. But before I do I may as well give you the recap of the rest of it.” Zac clears his throat. “Okay, this is what happened. It’s another dimension and the coolest guy in the world, me, is still with you losers.” Anyway, we (Anti-TPCG) kidnap Riochet, who is the only normal one (in a way). He gets a note to you butt-holes that explains where he is.” Zac scratches his head. “Then you losers leave to save him. I’ll destroy the fic now.” “Hey!” Munkee walks in with a coke. “Get away from my projector!” “Ack!” Zac quickly runs off. “Sigh…” Munkee flips the switch on the projector. “Enjoy…” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --What if?-- --Chapter IV-- The TPCG walk out into the rain. Thunder arcs across the sky. Ami begins to shiver. “How are we going to get to TBGUB in this weather without a car?” Seven shugs. “I’m not sure.” Sonique snaps her fingers. “I’ve got an idea!” She pulls out a book. “What’s that?” Zac asked even though he was half-asleep. “It’s my guestbook!” Sonique exclaimed happily. “TSP left a stupid message in it with a link to his site.” “So?” H. Mac missed the whole point. “So… we just us the link to get to TSP’s site…” She noticed nobody gets it. “Which is the gateway to TBGUB just like Perfect Chaos is to TPCGHQ” “Oh…” Everyone said in unison. Except for Sonique, but I’m sure you could guess that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic Revenge is unlike our dimesion’s counterpart. It is original looking and has few people looking around it. All of a sudden a link open ups at the entrance to the site. Sonique, Ami, Shorty, H.Mac, Seven, Edge, and Zac all appear. “Woah! That was awesome!” Shorty exclaimed. “Did anyone ask you to talk?” Ami retorted angerly. “Can it guys.” Sonique was the first to start walking into the site. “We have to get to TBGUB… and fast.” Edge began to follow Sonique without word. Shorty, H.Mac, Ami, and Seven join after a few seconds. Zac looked around the entrance to the site. “This feels strange, like it doesn’t belong.” He also started to follow. --------------------------------------------------- Riochet looked around the cell cautiously. His mind was deep in thought. This is what he was thinking. “This cell is cold… yup… pretty cold. It’s not warm, in fact, it’s cold. And wet, like milk. I didn’t eat the cereal. Yerher. Zac is such an idiot. Yerher. I hope Edge didn’t die from the note. Yerher. I wonder how Yerher’s doing…” That’s it, I can’t stand all that pointlessness. Let’s just get back to the others. --------------------------------------------- The group walks across the streets of Sonic Revenge. “Where is that entrance?” Shorty asked while looking around. “Up your ass.” Ami said for no good reason. “I don’t think it would fit into his ass Ami.” Seven kicked over a rock. H.Mac began to push on something. “This rock’s moving slighty…” Both Zac and Edge move in to help. The large rock slowly gives way and they’re left with a small staircase leading to a door. “There it is!” Edge smiled widely. To Be Continued… --Recap-- Munkee and Mecha Tails are standing by the projector. “No, no, no, no, no, no!” Munkee argued. “Baloney is far better than Spam!” “Ugh,” Mecha Tails said rather unintellegently. “Baloney sucks.” “Yeah, I agree but,” Munkee looks forward. “Oh! We’re back!” Munkee gets a more formal stance. “Welecome back. For my final part I have Mecha Tails with me for the recap.” “Yeah…” Mecha Tails grumbles something about not being in the story before continuing. “In the story so far…” Mecha Tails clears his throat. “Okay, it’s another dimesion where Zac is still with TPCG, Ami and Shorty never made up, and Edge never died. In the story, Riochet is kidnapped. He sent a messenger bird to TPCG HQ. TPCG go to rescue Riochet. They are currently infiltrating TBGUB.” “Okay, so watch it and don’t complain about not being in it.” Munkee starts the projector. Bot Mecha Tails and Munkee walk off. Mecha Tails adds. “SPAM” “Do you even have taste buds?” “No.” ********* --What if?-- --Chapter V-- Riochet began to struggle against the chains. He soon realized the cuffs were never locked in the first place and he got out. “Why didn’t I try that earlier?” He walked over to the door which was amazingly not locked also. “These people are idiots.” He said to himself. ********* TPCG quickly moved through TBGUB. As they turned the corner Samantha and Potato Man stopped them. “HLD T RGHT THR!” (TRANS: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!) Samantha yelled. “YEAH!” Potato Man had nothing else to say. “Crap…” Edge said as they stopped. “We can take them!” Seven said. TPCG jump Samantha and Potato Man. “Outta here!” Potato man said as he and Samantha ran off. “That was easy.” Sonique said as TPCG moved on. ********* TSP looked at the monitor. “TPCG got in! How could they? I concelled that entrance perfectly!” Andre looked at TSP. “thd mrst uv fun id.” (TRANS: They must have found it.) “Duh!” TPS turns to Andre. “That’s obvious!” “;jahdfjvbreulg a ugh fjsnareh n dsnduhtrje nf dnau hr jeanhaur ntjhfd ngjdnsnrnbjs r nfdsa” (TRANS: Sorry) Andre looked away. Tsp looked back at the monitor. “Don’t worry.” He paused for a moment. “AJ!” AJ looked at TSP. “Yes?” “Activate the security systems.” ************* Riochet ran through the halls of TBGUB. He rounded another corner and ran straight into Shorty. “AH!” Both Shorty and Riochet exclaimed as they hit the ground. “Riochet!” Ami exclaimed. “Are you okay?!” “I’m fine.” Riochet stood up shakenly. “That’s great! Let’s get out of here!” H.Mac said as he began to walk off. Shorty stood up, “I’m fine too… incase anyone was wondering.” “Nope, no one does.” Ami said. TPCG begin to leave just as turrets pop out of the walls. “Surrender or be fired upon!” “Oh… shit.” They all said in unison. “Yes, that’s what I thought.” AJ said as he comes in. Andre and Hougan follow him. “You have no choice but to surrender!” Hougan explained then laughed evilly. Zac walks up to AJ. “We’ll never surrender. Because I have something to fight you with! Guess what I have to fight you with!” Andre looked at Zac oddly. So does the rest of TPCG. “…uh, what?” “Guess!” Zac said happily. “Uh… a bazooka!” “Nope!” “A machine gun?” “Uh uh,” “What is it?” “Nothing!” “Nothing!?” AJ said in surprise. “They sent you to come fight me with nothing?” “Yep.” Suddenly the turrets begin to fire at Andre, AJ, and Hougan. The three baddies scream then run off. The turrets stop firing. H.Mac looks up from where he hacked into the turrets. “That was easy.” ************* A few hours later TPCG is back home. “That was tiring.” Shorty said as he plopped into a chair. “Yup.” Sonique did the same. “So…” Riochet said as he fell onto the couch. “Yeah…” Edge looked around. “Shouldn’t this fic end or something?” Seven asked. H. Mac sat on the floor. “Well, I guess it’s…” THE END (Kinda) ********** Munkee stops the projector. “Hey, I thought I might save some space and give the preview for my next fic at the end of this one. Enjoy!” Munkee restarts the projector. ********** --Shorty & Riochet solo preview-- (The screen is blank. One of those movie preview guys start talking.)
