Could you make a new section where Lol tries to capture Manik? Sonicfan919 07:15, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Could you make a new section where Krinkinko gives Manik a sample of what it's like to be a G.U.N. agent. Remember?, Manik promised that he would let him. Sonicfan919 04:55, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Manik Meets Emma-Lee
Emma:So you wanna be a hero too, huh?! I'm Emma-Lee, but you can call me Emma, but not Lee cause I'm not a boy!

Manik: Okay!

Emma: So is it true? Sonic the Hedgehog is your big brother?!

Manik: Yeah!

Emma:Wow, that's so cool! *Slightly taunting to increase Manik's curiosity* But I know something even he can't do....

Manik: O RLY? What is it?

Emma:This! *A small amount of water comes from Emma's hand as she playfully sends it splashing at Manik* ^ ^

Manik: !! [wipes face] Wha-....d-did that come out of your hand?!

Emma:Mmhmm....I'm a...a...a hy-hidray-Hidroniphiliacide--eh, I control water!

Manik: That is so cool. ._.

Emma:Yup, and by the time I'm like 12....I'll be super duper incredibly strong!

Manik: Cool!

Emma:Sure is...and the best part i--

(A large robot comes from behind Emma. It snatches her up in a mechanical net)

Emma:Ah!

Manik: *gasp* EMMA!! D:

Emma:Let me go!

EggRobo: Dr.Eggman requires more specimens for future creations.

Manik: [Runs over to the EggRobo and starts kicking it] LET HER GO!!

EggRobo:*Scans Manik* Minimal threat...*To Manik* Stand down hedgehog or face eradication.

Manik: [Looks up at the EggRobo] L-Let her go!! Now!!

EggRobo:And what if I don't?

Manik: I'll....I'll.....[looks around frantically]

Part 1

 * Interact with the little munchkin here!

Kyle: Awww, cute! Hey there, kid!

Manik: Hai!!

Kyle: Hehe! Wanna play tag?

Manik: Yeah!

Kyle: You can have 15 seconds to run away. Ready... go!

Twister: hey guys did I miss anything?

(Manik runs past Twister, giggling.)

Twister: I did didn;t I?

Kyle: Playing tag with short stuff over there. 5 SECONDS!

(Manik is trying to climb a tree.)

Twister: I'm in if you want me to be it for you guys :)

Kyle: Aaaaand TIME! (falls through the floor, comes up out of Manik's shadow, flies to his level and taps him on the shoulder) Tag!

Twister: eep *zooms off to hide*

Manik: WAAAUUUGH!! (falls out of the tree)

Kyle: (grabs him) Woah there, little dude! Careful! (sets him down on the ground)

Manik: Th-Thanks...!!

Twister: *behind a bush* heheh no one can find me here....

Kyle: Heh! No probs! Hey, wanna see a funny trick?

Manik: Yeah!

Kyle: (grins, sinks into his shadow, comes up behind Twister unnoticed, takes a deep breath) OOGABOOGAWOOGABLARGH!

Twister: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *runs into a tree*

(Manik is laughing so hard he's fallen over.)

Kyle: Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me, there's a tree there! (staggers over to Manik, shaking with laughter, high-fives him and collapses with laughter)

Twister: you both owe me 20 Mobiums

(Little do they know that they are being spied on!)

Kyle: (gasping for breath) You... should have... seen... your face!

Twister: give me the mobiums NOW!

Manik: *shaking in laughter* I-I don't h-h-have any...!!

Kyle: Hmm... how about... no! (grabs Twister by the shoulder and zaps him with a 300-volt joy buzzer, K.Oing him) Come on, Manik, let's bolt before he wakes up! (grabs Manik, runs a short distance and takes off into the sky)

Manik: WHOA!!

Twister: *frew minutes later he wakes up* grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wait, I already have 100 mobiums, who cares >_<' but that was soooo unnecessary.......

Kyle: WOO! (barrel-rolls and lands in a field about 1 mile away)

Manik: That was FUN!

(somehow the see a yellow and black blur dashing towards them)

Kyle: Glad! Hang on... (looks around) Someone's following us...

Twister: never shock me AGAIN unless you wanna get a north star 100 crack fist so it's pounded into you........

Kyle: Shadow clothesline. (a shadow darts out and clotheslines Twister as he dashes towards them) No, someone actually worth worrying about is following us...

Twister: shut up, just give me a handshake and forget the mobiums alright?

(While Twister and Kyle have their backs turned, a small, round flying robot with four spindly claws flies over and grabs Manik!)

Manik: AAAHHH-(the robot covers his mouth)-*muffled yelling*

(The robot begins to fly away with Manik in tow!)

Kyle: What the-?! (points at the robot, and uses Technokinesis, forces it to land on the ground and disassemble)

Manik: (Curled into a ball, whimpering)

Kyle: Where'd this come from? (picks up its CPU and uses Techno-Telepathy to "download" all its data, enabling him to see all the information about it)

(It seems to have been a search-bot of sorts, developed by Dr. Robotnik!)

Kyle: Fatboy Slim, of course. Who else would build an evil robot to kidnap Speedy McStuck-up's little bro?

Manik: (Gets back up and looks around cautiously)

Kyle: (still scanning the chip)

Manik: *sniffle* Why does Robotnik keep chasing me...?!

Kyle: Because he's so fat, he's jealous that we're so awesome-looking, so he chases you because he knows you're cooler than him.

Manik: Really?

Kyle: Of course! And what's with that moustache?! He looks like a mutant walrus-man!

Manik: *giggles*

Kyle: (inflates his cheeks and puts a finger across just below his nose like a mustache and sticks his belly out) Wohoho! Look at me, I'm Fattyfat Mc. Fatterton III!

Manik: *laughing*

Kyle: Look at me! I'm Omletteman, and I walk like I have a hardback copy of The New Adventures of Superman: The Collector's Edition on Blu-Ray shoved up my butt and held in with a cork! (struts around)

Manik: (Rolling on the ground laughing uproariously)

(An ominous shadow falls over them...Manik stops laughing and looks past Kyle, terrified.)

Kyle: (stops dead) It's Eggman, isn't it?

Eggman: Correct...

Kyle: .___. Crap.

Manik: *whimpering*

Eggman: What's this, Kyle? You're babysitting?

Kyle: Nah, the little dude wanted to play Tag, and things escalated, you know? Oh, and guess what?

Eggman: What?

Kyle: Tag, you're it! (slams his elbow into Eggman's face and karate-kicks him in the crotch)

(His foot gets stuck in Eggman's considerable fatness!)

Kyle: DAMNIT! (pulls his foot out, flies upwards, and karate-kicks Eggy in the face this time)

Eggman: GAH!! (holding his face) MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!! (pulls out a laser gun) YOU'LL BOTH PAY FOR THIS!!

Kyle: (snaps his fingers and the gun explodes)

Eggman: Gah!! Grr...(throws a rock at them)

Kyle: (waves, and a shadow cuts the rock in two)

Eggman: !!

Kyle: Anything else you would like to attempt to hit us with? A giant robot, perhaps? Or a cow?

Eggman: Hmmm.....(runs over to Manik and punts him)

Manik: WAAAAAGH!!

Eggman: YES!! I've always wanted to do that!! >:3

Kyle: !! (a shadow darts up, absorbs Manik, and he spits back out of Kairu's shadow) Big mistake. (shadows swirl around him)

Eggman: Sh*t... O_O"

Kyle: (his own shadow stretches out behind him, then rises up, taking the form of a huge monstrous nightmare version of Kyle, but totally silhouetted except for two scary glowing pure-white eyes)

Eggman: ............ (runs away screaming; a big brown stain can be seen on his fat bottom)


 * (EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XP)

Kyle's Shadow: (reaches out, grabs Eggman, slams him to the ground, picks him up, and pelts him all the way back to his base)

Eggman: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

Manik: (Laying on the ground, gasping in pain (he got kicked really hard in the stomach/chest)

Kyle: You alright, Manik?

Kyle's Shadow: (returns to normal)

Manik: (Panting and gasping) H-H-Hurts...!!

Kyle: Crap! Uh... (thinking) WhatdoidowhatdoidowhatdoiDO?!

(Manik continues to cough and gasp for air.)

Kyle: DAMMIT! Umm... maybe... we should... Ah, screw it! (grabs Manik and jumps into a shadow, teleporting to Chaos City Hospital, out of Dr. Carson's shadow) Carson!

Carson: WHOA! (whips around) Kyle?!

Kyle: Fatboy Slim punted the kid, and he's kinda hurt, as you can see. So... (hands Manik to Carson)


 * (Ryu-Maybe we should wait for Shima...)


 * (Okay. I'll go and get her.)
 * (Shima: (Pops up head) Someone say the "S" word?)
 * (Ryu-I did.)
 * (Shima: Mmaky. Catch me up, please)
 * (Ryu-right, so Kyle and Manik were playing tag and stuff, when suddenly Manik was attacked and nearly carried away by one of Eggy's search-bots. So Kyle destroyed it, and then the real Eggman comes by. He tries to attack with a laser gun, but that fails, then a rock, but that fails too, so he kicks Manik square in the stomach/chest area. Then Kyle's shadow turns into a monster, Eggy tries to run (we see that he poo'd himself) but Kyle's shadow grabs him and throws him away.)


 * (Eggy punted Manik, and Manik is now apparently seriously injured, and Kyle went to Carson for medical help.)
 * (Shima: (winces) Ouch...)

Carson: (cradles Manik and rushes him inside)

Manik: N-No, wait...!
 * (Ryu-Manik's also afraid of Overlanders.)

Kyle: Don't be scared, little guy! (holds up twin photos of Eggman and Carson) Bad Overlander. Good Overlander! See?

Carson: You'll be fine.. (looks at Kyle) Would you come in with? I don't think he'd be comfortable without someone with him.

(Manik starts whimpering, which soon turns into wheezing.)

Kyle: (salutes) Of course!

Carson: (leads Kyle inside holding Manik, and soon gets X-rays of Manik's chest) Hmmmm...

Manik: *whimpering*

Kyle: (mucking around with another X-ray machine to make Manik laugh)

Carson: (rubs a hand through his hair (which isn't much)) It looks like your sternum is cracked, and a couple of your ribs are broken, too..

Manik: *coughs* I-It h-h-hurts...

Carson: (pats Manik) We can fix your ribs, but the plate... (stops and thinks)

Kyle: That's really bad, amirite?

Carson: (nods) I'm not sure how you can repair a breast plate.. It's not like an arm..or a rib.

Kyle: Now, see, there are three ways around this obstacle. One! We get someone with Chaos Powers, and they use Chaos Heal.

Carson: (nods)

(Manik begins scooting towards the edge of the table...)

Kyle: Two! We somehow get a bazillion dollars and fix it with high-tech surgical machines and stuff.

Carson: How would we do that..?

Part 2
(A nurse comes in, and to Manik's surprise, it's a female Mobian!)

Nurse: I got some more X-rays for you, doctor.

Carson: Ah, thank you. (examines the X-rays)

Manik: !! )looks at the nurse)

Nurse: (sees Manik) Aww, hey there, little guy! ^_^

Manik: Uuuhhh......h-hi....

Nurse: (goes over to Manik and kneels down so she's at eye level with him) What's you name?

Manik: M-Manik, ma'am...

Kyle: Option three, I go to Moebius, kidnap Kairu's Moebian counterpart, and force him to use his healing power on Manik.

Nurse: (holds out her hand) My name's Gezzelle.

Carson: ...I like option one better.

(Manik takes her hand.)

Manik: That's a pretty name... ^^

Gezzelle: Why, thank you. ^_^ Manik's a nice name, too.

Manik: *blushes* Thanks.

(Kyle is now dancing around behind the x-ray machine.)

Carson: (looks at Kyle) Will you get out from behind there?!

Gezzelle: (sees Kyle dancing and laughs)

Kyle: (grins, steps out from behind the machine, but his x-ray remains, continues dancing simultaneously with his x-ray)

Manik: O_O

Carson: Oi...(rubs his temples) Do you know anyone who can peform Chaos Heal?

Kyle: Umm... Well, the Ultimate Lifeforms in general... (starts beatboxing while his x-ray breakdances)

Carson: Do you know any of them?

Kyle: Yeah, and those I don't know, I know someone who knows someone who knows them.

Carson: Can you get them for me?

Kyle: (thinks, then nods) I'll get Hali. (backflips into a shadow)

(At Hali's house...)

Hali: (humming to herself while reading)

Kyle: (flips out of her shadow, landing in front of her) Hali!

Hali: Waaah! (falls off her bed)

Kyle: (a shadow grabs her and sets her on her feet) Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, come with me!

Hali: Okay...

Kyle: (puts one hand on Hali's shoulder, drops through a shadow, reappearing in the hospital room)

Carson: !!!

Kyle: I got her. Hali, we need you to do Chaos Heal on Manik. Eggman apparently broke his sternathingy, and we can't fix it manually.

Hali: Oh, okay.. (walks over to Manik and Gezzelle) Hi! ^_^

Manik: H-Hi...

Hali: Now, where does it hurt?

Manik: (Points at his chest) H-Here...

Hali: Okay, then. Just stay still... (she gently places her hand on Manik's chest, and her hand glows) Chaos...Heal!!

Kyle: (watches)

(Manik is healed!)

Hali: (sits down out of exhaustion) Whew...

Kyle: Yeah!

Gezzelle: (helps Hali into a chair)

Hali: Thanks...

Kyle: ..... (continues his x-ray dancing routine)

Carson: -_-'

Kyle: (does a headspin)

Gezzelle: (laughs)

Kyle: (does the moonwalk)

Carson: You better hope I don't turn that machine on.

Kyle: Aw, come on! I look awesome as a dancing skeleton!

Carson: Mhm.. Right.

Kyle: Go on then, try and switch it on! ...IF YOU DAAAAAAAAREEEEE!!!!!

Carson: (hand hovers near the switch)

Kyle: (raises one eyebrow) Dooooooo iiiiiiit.....

Carson: (shrugs) Okay. (presses the on button on the X-ray machine)

(Nothing happens)

Carson: ....

Kyle: (grinning)

Carson: ...Smarty.

Kyle: (laughs)

(Manik giggles.)

Gezzelle: (hides a laugh behind her hand)

Carson: Not you too, Gezzelle! D:

Kyle: You know what they say- (pulls on a fuzzy multicolored wig, a fake-nose-glasses-moustache thing, and a big red nose, also puts on a denim vest and a baseball cap, starts breakdancing) Laughter is the best medicine!

Gezzelle and Hali: (laughing)

Carson: (smiles and shakes his head)

Kyle: (headspins) Hahahahaaaaaa!

Carson: (facepalms)

Kyle: (strikes a gangsta pose) Word.

Hali: (falls of chair laughing)

Gezzelle: (falls on floor and leans against the table laughing)

Carson: (tries to hide laughter)

Kyle: Yeah, fool! I'm so G!

All: (laughing)

Kyle: Nyuk nyuk nyuk. All I need now is a cream pie and some suspenders and I can join the Three Stooges. Oh, wait- I have a cream pie already! (pulls out a pie and throws it at Carson)

Carson: !!! (gets hit) .....

Manik: *giggling*

Kyle: (picks the pie tin off the ground and licks a bit of cream from the sides) My compliments to the chef! Oh, hang on a minute... That's me! (produces a marker, draws a curly moustache on his face, speaking in a bad French accent) It needz one final touch... (puts a cherry on Carson's head) Zere! Eet eez perfecshun!

Carson: (pulls out a hanky and wipes it all off) You're so funny, aren't you? (takes some of the cream and smears it on Kyle's face) ^_^

Kyle: (smears the cream with two fingers on his cheeks, war paint style, produces an army helmet and sticks it over his cap) THIS IS WAR! (throws a blueberry pie at Carson) EAT BERRY FILLING, OLD MAN!! (growls like Mr. T)

Carson: (ducks and makes his cream look like Indian war paint) Bring it on, youngster!

Kyle: Oh, it's ON! (pulls out a water balloon)

Carson: O_O

Kyle: Yes, be afraid, be very afraid... HIYA! (throws the water balloon at Carson)

Carson: Wait, not in-(the balloon hits him, spraying water everywhere, even teh machines) !!!!

Kyle: It's okay, I can fix! (uses Technokinesis to fix all the machines) There! Okay, so no water weapons then. So how about THIS!? (whips out a huge Nerf gun)

Carson: O_O

Kyle: "O_O" indeed! For THIS is the Vulcan EBF-25, with ammunition box, cartridge belt and full auto enabled! 3 bullets per second! (cocks it)

Carson: (gulps)

Kyle: (evil laugh, fires at Carson) Dance, doctor, dance! BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Part 3
(Later...)

Part 1
[One day, Tonic the Hedgehog is harassing Manik.]

Tonic: Wanna have some fun with me, cute little boy?

Manik: No! You're a bad person!

Tonic: [Grabs Manik's shoulder] C'mon...~

Manik: No means no!! DX

???: *ahem*

Tonic: Eh?

[Statyx is standing there, his arms crossed and tapping his foot]

Tonic: Oh, uh, hey there! This cute little boy and I were just having some fun...isn't that right? [looks at Manik, his hand still on the lad's shoulder]

Manik: [Slaps Tonic's hand]

Tonic: Ow! Why you little-

[A static bolt hits the ground right next to Tonic's foot.]

Tonic: [Jumps up] Yiih!!

Statyx: 20 seconds, counting by 5s.

Tonic: [Flees]

Statyx: Welp, that was simple.

Manik: [Crosses arms] Hmph. I coulda taken out that Troll myself. I am a Freedom Fighter, after all.

Statyx: Yeah, riiiiight.

Manik: [Ear twitches with aggravation] I am a Freedom Fighter!! 3:<

Statyx: You're a rookie, that's what.

Manik: I'm tough enough to take on a dumb old Troll any day! [puffs out chest and (still soft) quills to look intimidating]

Statyx: *pats Manik on the head* Say that when you can actually fully harden your quills.

Manik: [Pushes Statyx's hand away indignantly] Hmph! Oh yeah?! D:<

Statyx: Yeah.

Manik: Well...uhh...(trying to think of a comeback) Uhhh....

Statyx: Take your time. I am ageless.

Manik: [Crosses arms] At least I don't work for G.U.N.

Statyx: Oh yeah? What's wrong with that?

Manik: They're all a bunch of jerks who don't care what common people think!

Statyx: That so?

Manik: Yeah! They just walk all over whoever they want to!!

Statyx: *ear twitches* Oh yeah?

Manik: [Puffs chest again] Yeah!!

Statyx: Hmph, at least this G.U.N. agent can do a spin attack.

Manik: I can do a Spin Attack too! I've been practicing, watch! [curls into a ball]

[Statyx abruptly punts him, hard. Manik lets out a loud muffled cry as he goes flying in the air.]

Statyx: *jokingly/mockingly* That's quite the bounce attack!!!

[Manik is still in the air...]

Statyx: *grins, then throws a Lightning Whip, which catches Manik*

Manik: *yelp*

Statyx: *pulls hard, making Manik fly back towards him*

Manik: *muffled* WAAAUUUUGH!!

Statyx: *catches Manik, then throws him*

Manik: *muffled* AAAAAAGH!! [tries to uncurl]

Statyx: *catches Manik with a Lightning Whip again*

Manik: [Still trying to uncurl] *muffled* S-Stop it!! P-Please!! DX

Statyx: *pulls Manik back again*

Manik: *muffled* ''Please!! Stop!!''

Statyx: *catches him, but doesn't throw him*

Manik: [Shivering, still balled up]

Statyx: Be careful with that mouth of yours, runt. I was just messing with you to teach you a lesson, but a bad guy might send you flying. Or just blast you to smithereens.

Manik: [Hesitantly uncurls]

Statyx: *drops him*

Manik: [Lands on his butt] Oww!! DX

Statyx: Heh, can't even take being dropped on your butt, yet you think you can take on some of the big baddies out there?

[Manik gets up and faces Statyx, shaking with anger and fear, tears forming in his eyes.]

Statyx: *looks at him with a serious expression* Wake up kid. Sonic may make his fights look like all fun and games, but he puts his life on the line every time. In the fights you're so eager to join, people can die.

Manik: *low growl* Y-You G.U.N jerks are all the same!! [storms away angrily]

Statyx: Hmph.

(A little bit later, in Station Square, Manik is fuming over his encounter with Statyx.)

Manik: Hmph! Stupid G.U.N jerk...if I was as strong as my brother, I'd teach him not to mess with a Freedom Fighter!

(He sits down on a bench.)

Manik: *bitterly* He thinks he's so tough and awesome that he can just do whatever he wants, and not even care...ha! Typical G.U.N soldier.

(Meanwhile, Statyx is walking through Station Square.)

Statyx: Damn, why is that kid such a brat?

(The bench Manik is sitting on is fairly close by.)

Statyx: *keeps walking*

Manik: [hears footsteps] ?

Statyx: *doesn't notice*

Manik: [Looks around and sees Statyx] o_O

Statyx: *still walking, he doesn't seem to notice Manik*

[Manik dives underneath the bench.]

Statyx: *keeps walking* Damnit, the kid needs to seriously figure it out.

Manik: [Glares at Statyx from beneath the bench]

Statyx: In the battles we fight, people risk their lives in order to to protect what they hold dear.

Manik: Yeah, well I want to protect my friends too!!

Statyx: !!

Manik: Yeah, you heard me!! [pops up from behind bench]

Statyx: Oh, it's you.

Manik: Hmph.

Statyx: Feh.

Manik: What? You don't believe I want to protect my friends?

Statyx: I believe you don't have the slightest clue what you're getting into.

Manik: [Pulls himself onto the top of the bench with some difficulty] That's why I try to train against enemies.

Statyx: That training gets you killed.

Manik: I'm alive right now, aren't I?

Statyx: Through luck and friends saving your hide.

Manik: [Ears draw back as he stares angrily at Statyx] Y-You make it sound like I'm dead weight or something!!

Statyx: Perhaps.

Manik: *low growl* [Quills start to fluff out] I'm not dead weight!!

Statyx: Really? Then name one thing you've done that's been a big help to the Freedom Fighters. On your own, without someone pulling your butt out of the fire.

Manik: I.....well.........uhhhh......

Statyx: *raises an eyebrow at him*

Manik: I do spy work sometimes....

Statyx: In other words, a job where you just have to hide and watch?

Manik: Hmph! I warn the others of SWATbots about to invade Knothole, in case you're wondering....when its my turn to keep watch, that is...

Statyx: And the actual fighting?

Manik: Well.......Sonic usually tells me to stay out of the way.....b-but SOMETIMES I get to help...!!

Statyx: Yeah?

Manik: Yeah!

Statyx: Hmph, right.

Manik: I do!!

Statyx: *looks at Manik with a serious expression*

Manik: ...why are you looking at me like that?!

Statyx: .....*grabs his arm and drags him along* C'mon kid, we're having a talk with your bother.

Manik: Hey!!
 * (Ryu-Should I play Sonic, or do you wanna?)
 * (Kagi: I can if you want.)
 * (Ryu-Okey dokey)

[Later at Sonic's place, Statyx is talking to Sonic in a seperate room, with Manik sitting in the living room]

Sonic: You want to what!?

Statyx: You heard me.

Sonic: Are you nuts!? There's no way I can permit that!

Statyx: It'll teach the kid a valuable lesson; one he needs if he's gonna live long.

Sonic: !!

Manik: [Looking fidgety and nervous]

Statyx: He's cocky, arrogant, and reckless. If he doesn't learn what he's up against, he will get in over his head.

Sonic: .......

Manik: [Waiting nervously]

Statyx: Well Sonic?

Sonic: .......*sighs* Alright. Just don't go too far.

Manik: (Looks at the doorway to the room where Sonic and Statyx are) ..........

[Sonic and Statyx walk out of the room, and stand in front of Manik.]

Manik: [Looking nervous] Uhh...

Statyx: Alright kid, after talking with Sonic, I have a proposition for you.

Manik: Okay...

Statyx: You and I will duke it out. If you win, you become a full-fledged Freedom Fighter.

Manik: !! R-Really..?!

Statyx: Yup. Real missions, and real battles.

Manik: Wooowwww....

Statyx: Up for it?

Manik: [Jumps off of couch] Yeah!!

Sonic: You sure about this kid? Statyx's pretty strong...

Manik: Yeah!

Sonic: .......*looks at Statyx* ......Well, alright....

Manik: [Stands in front of Statyx] .....

Statyx: C'mon; I know a place we can fight.

Manik: Okay then.

[A few minutes later, the two are standing a few yards away from each other in a green, sparsely forested area, with Sonic standing to the side, mid-way between them.]

Manik: ........

Statyx: You ready kid?

Manik: *nods*

Sonic: *sighs, and raises a hand* 3...

Manik: *tenses*

Sonic: 2...

Statyx: .....

Manik: [Quills fluff out and ears flatten]

Sonic: 1...!

Statyx: .....

Manik: ......

Sonic: *swings hand down* Go!!

Part 2
[The instant Sonic says "Go", a Static Bolt flies past Manik's head, singing his cheek and quills, and hitting a tree behind him, not only scorching it, but damaging it enough to make it fall over with a crash.]

Manik: !! [looks at the fallen tree]

Statyx: *harsh, authoritative tone* Face your opponent, brat!

Manik: *low growl* [dashes at Statyx in an attempted Quick Attack]

[Statyx's expression has changed greatly. It's harsh, serious, and cold, filled with killer intent. Manik skids to a halt, faltering...there is great fear in his eyes.]

Statyx: What's wrong, brat? *takes a step forward*

Manik: [Takes a small step back] Uhh.....uhhhh....

[Statyx suddenly blasts forward, and hits Manik with a right-hand uppercut.]

Manik: GAHHH!!

Statyx: *slams Manik with a left punch to the gut*

Manik: OOF!!

Statyx: *grabs the back of Manik's head with his right hand, then knees him in the face hard*

[SFX: *wham*]

Statyx: *lets go of his head, then slams his fist down on Manik's back*

Manik: AAGH!! [slams into the ground hard]

Statyx: Get up, brat!

Manik: [Struggles to get up] Nnngh...

Statyx: *kicks him, sending him careening a few feet and skidding across the ground*

Manik: [Yelps when kicked; he lays there, panting and crying]

Statyx: *walks over to him, staring down at him* Get up!!

Manik: [Still panting and crying, he tries to get up]

Statyx: *punches Manik, sending him skidding to the side*

[Manik rolls when he lands. He then manages to get up, and staggers away from Statyx.]

Statyx: *Chaos Controls in front of him, and gives him a hard kick, sending him flying*

Manik: [lands on his back, crying out in pain]

Statyx: *walks over to him, and stomps on his gut*

[Manik lets out a hoarse bark of pain.]

Statyx: *takes his foot off of Manik's gut, then roughly picks him up by his quills* There it is kid; that's the type of fights you'll be fighting. But your enemies won't be so nice; they take a shot, they'll aim for the kill. They'll also take any hits they can; low blows, ambushes, and taking hostages. You put your life on the line, with no guarantee of coming back or not...

Manik: [Panting harshly, with some blood dripping out of his mouth and from a few wounds]

Statyx: The only thing going through your mind right now is "I've got to get away!! I've got to run!! I've got to survive!!"; am I right?

Manik: *ashamed nod; eyes tearing up*

Statyx: Training while fighting enemies will get you killed, because that's the enemy's goal; to kill you.

Manik: *shaky nod; sniffles*

Statyx: What's more, your life is in the hands of others, and vice-versa; you could get someone else killed if you screw up.

[Manik's ears droop upon hearing this.]

Manik: I-I don't w-want others t-to get killed because of m-me!!

Statyx: *snarls, then drops Manik* Then grow up! That immature, arrogant attitude will get you killed without the skills to back it up.

Manik: [Looks up fearfully and ashamedly at Statyx as he stands up]

Statyx: *stares him down*

Manik: [Eventually turns and walks away in shame, limping slightly, tail between legs]

Sonic: !! Manik, where are you going!?

[Manik looks at Sonic sadly and ashamedly. He then looks away and keeps walking.]

Sonic: Manik!! (runs up after him) Manik, stop!

Manik: [Looks at Sonic] *low whine*

Sonic: C'mon, it's alright...

Manik: No it isn't...I'm not fit to be a Freedom Fighter...

Sonic: Not a full-fledged one, but-

[Manik ignores him and keeps walking. Sonic grabs the scruff of his neck, making him cry out.]

Sonic: I said stop!!

Manik: Let go of me!! [wrenches away; he then starts running]

Sonic: MANIK!!

Statyx: *watches*

[Manik keeps running, with Sonic watching helplessly. With a frustrated growl, he starts running after him again.]

Sonic: MANIK, GET BACK HERE NOW!!

[He eventually catches up and grabs Manik's arm. He yelps and begins struggling.]

Sonic: Stop it!!

Manik: LET GO!!

Sonic: No!!

[He wraps both arms around Mank's waist to hold him still; the little hedgehog starts kicking and struggling like mad.]

Sonic: [Holds Manik tighter, trying not to squeeze his stomach]

Manik: LET...GO...Of...ME!! DX

Sonic: No, Manik! [lifts him up and walks back over to Statyx]

Statyx: *watches them*

Sonic: [Struggling to keep a hold on Manik] Sorry...he's not usually like this...!

Statyx: No issue.

Sonic: [Ends up pinning Manik forcefully to the ground]

Manik: [Still struggling] LET GO!!

Sonic: No!

Manik: Why won't you let me go?!

Sonic: Because you're in no position to move around like this!

Manik: Why does it matter?! [eyes tear up] *bitterly* I'm just an arrogant, useless brat who gets in everyone's way...!

Sonic: You're not useless!

Manik: Tell that to him! [glares at Statyx with a mixture of anger, fear and humiliation]

Statyx: Kid, you need to learn respect.

Manik: [Eyes tear up more] I just wanted to be able to do what my brother can...!

Sonic: .......

Statyx: You might be able to, in time.

Manik: ........ [pulls himself from Sonic's slackened grip]

Statyx: But in the mean-time, you need to know your limitations, as well as humility.

[Manik throws Statyx one last hateful (and fearful) glare, then walks away again, towards Station Square. A few minutes later, he is there, mulling over his encounter.]

Manik: I can't believe it...everything was fine until I crossed that...that G.U.N agent's path...! And he had the nerve to lie to my brother with his "Oh, you might be able to be as good as Sonic in time"; but I knew he enjoyed thrashing me!

[He stops and sighs.]

Manik: But he's right...I'm just an arrogant punk...

[Meanwhile, Toxic is walking through the city too, when he notices Manik]

Toxic: Hey, isn't that...?

[Manik is too upset to even notice Toxic.]

Toxic: It's Sonic's little brother!

Manik: [Ear twitches] ?

Toxic: *grins maliciously* This'll be perfect...!

Part 3
[Manik looks around and happens to see Toxic eying him maliciously.]

Manik: !!

Toxic: *starts heading towards him*

[Manik turns around to run, but promptly stumbles and falls.]

Manik: Uhn!!

Toxic: *runs toward him, and grabs him* Got ya!

Manik: *yelp* [begins struggling]

Toxic: *holds him firmly, growling*

Manik: P-Please, l-let me go...!!

Toxic: No way in Hell, brat!

Manik: [Turns around and bites Toxic's arm]

Toxic: Gah!!

[Manik stays latched onto Toxic's arm, growling.]

Toxic: *punches Manik across the face*

Manik: *muffled yelp* [lets go]

Toxic: *growls*

[Manik resumes struggling. Toxic punches him across the face again]

Manik: AAAGH!! [holding his face, whimpering]

Toxic: *growls maliciously* You're coming with me.

Manik: NO!! [keeps struggling]

Toxic: *punches him again*

Manik: *yelp* [cowers away, shivering and whimpering]

Toxic: *grabs him again* C'mon!

Manik: *starts crying* Nooo!! DX

Toxic: You want me to hit you again!?

Manik: *whimper* N-No... ;~;

Toxic: Then shuddup, and stop struggling!

Manik: [Whimpering and shivering]

Toxic: *drags him along*

Manik: *frightened whimpering*

Toxic: C'mon!

[Manik starts to cry.]

Manik: W-Why are y-y-you d-doing th-this?!

Toxic: Cause of your "heritage".

Manik: [looks confused] *sniffle*

Toxic: Your bother, you runt.

Manik: W-What?!

Toxic: You're related to Sonic; taking you hostage would make a big advantage.

Manik: Wha-

Toxic: What decent brother would interfere, with his younger brother's life on the line?

Manik: ._."

Toxic: *malicious grin* Exactly.

Manik: 'HEEEEELLLLLP!! SOMEBODYYY!!'

Toxic: !! *covers his mouth* Shut it brat or your neck's broken like glass!

Manik: [Puts his hands on Toxic's] *muffled whine*

Toxic: *growls*

Manik: [Ears droop; takes hands away] .............

Toxic: You gonna keep quiet?

Manik: [Nods shakily; eyes tear up a bit]

Toxic: Good little brat. *starts dragging him somewhere*

Manik: *sniffling*

[Eventually, they come to an old warehouse]

Manik: [Looks at the warehouse fearfully]

Toxic: *throws him to the ground*

Manik: Guh!!

Toxic: *walks over, and stomps on his back*

Manik: AAAAAAAAAGH!!

Toxic: *grins maliciously*

[He tries to crawl away, but can't.]

Toxic: *digs his foot into Manik's back*

Manik: *yowl of pain*

Toxic: *cackles*

Manik: *sobbing* P-Please, l-let me go!!

Toxic: No. Way. *stomps on him again*

[Manik makes a noise similar to a cat in agony. He coughs up some blood.]

Toxic: I'm gonna mess you up while waiting for the others.

Manik: O-O-Others..?!

Toxic: Yeah, the other Trolls.

Manik: W-What are they gonna d-do to me...?!

Toxic: Hold you captive to keep your bro outta our way.

Manik: *whine*

Toxic: Heh.

[Manik tries to squirm away weakly.]

Toxic: *adds weight to his foot*

Manik: *pained cry*

Toxic: *kicks Manik in the butt with his free foot*

Manik: Gaahhhh!!

Toxic: *grins maliciously*

Manik: *sobbing* P-Please, stop!!

Toxic: Yeah right, brat!

Manik: P-Please!! I-It h-h-hurts s-so bad!!

Toxic: Too bad, little runt!

[Manik then just lays there, sobbing.]

Toxic: Hm.... what should I do with you now?

Manik: *crying*

Toxic: *thinking*

Manik: [Tries to pull away again]

Toxic: Hey! *grabs him by his tail*

Manik: *yelp*

Toxic: You aren't going anywhere, brat.

Manik: *fearful whimpering*

Toxic: *growls, and yanks his tail*

Manik: Waaauuugh!!

Toxic: *stomps on his back again*

Manik: *pained howl* [coughs up more blood]

Toxic: *stomps again*

Manik: Gghhaaaaagh!! [lays there, shivering and panting harshly]

Toxic: *sneers* Heh.

Manik: *weakly* P-Please, n-no more...!

Toxic: Don't think so.

Manik: *crying*

Toxic: *cackles*

Manik: [Tries to pull away again] *pained groan*

Toxic: Hey! *yanks on his tail again, and stomps on his back*

Manik: *pained cry* [blood is starting to come out of his nose as well as his mouth] O-Owww...!

Toxic: *sneers* You ain't goin anywhere!

Manik: [Lays there, panting and bleeding; he tries to make himself smaller by hunching up on the ground]

Toxic: *sneers, and lifts Manik up by his tail*

Manik: !! (starts flailing) P-Put me down!!

Toxic: Alright. *drops Manik*

Manik: (Twists around in mid-air and lands hard on his back) GAAHHH!!

Toxic: *stomps on his gut, cackling*

Manik: *pained, hoarse yell* [struggling and kicking weakly]

Toxic: Heh!

[Manik weakly grabs Toxic's foot, trying to push it off.]

Toxic: *growls, and digs his foot in more*

Manik: *yelp* [keeps pushing weakly] Nnngh....!! [shivering in pain]

Toxic: *puts more weight on his foot*

[More blood is forced out of Manik's mouth and nose, and he stops pushing, but he doesn't take his hands off of Toxic's foot. He is shivering harder now, his eyes squeezed shut with the pain.]

'Toxic: Now shut up and be quiet, brat. *pulls his leg off*

Manik: [Painfully rolls onto his side, sobbing quietly]

Toxic: Heh.

[Manik looks up at Toxic with a desperate, pleading look.]

Toxic: What?

Manik: P-Please.....n-no more.....

Toxic: *sneers, and feigns a kick*

Manik: !! [cringes away, crying]

Part 4
Toxic: Hmph.

Manik: [Cringing on the floor, sobbing]

Toxic: *sneers at Manik*

Manik: *weakly* Please....n-no more.....!

Toxic: Or else what, brat?

Manik: [Tries to curl into a ball] *weakly* Please...

Toxic: Hmph! *kicks him in the back*

Manik: Aaaaagh!!

Toxic: *sneers* Little rat...

[He tries to crawl away, whimpering.]

Toxic: Where do you think you're going?

Manik: *weakly* Don't hurt me anymore.......please..........

Toxic: Why should I?

Manik: *weakly* I-It h-hurts so b-bad.....[keeps crawling weakly]

Toxic: Feh. *walks over to Manik*

Manik: [Struggles to crawl faster] *weakly* P-Please, no...!

Toxic: Hmph. *pulls out his rapier*

Manik: !! N-No!! P-Please, no!!

Toxic: *sneers, and stabs the rapier into one of Manik's lower legs*

Manik: AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

Toxic: *roughly pulls the sword out*

Manik: *sobbing*

Toxic: *growls*

Manik: *weakly* N-No more.........p-p-please...

Toxic: Then be quiet, and be still!

Manik: [simply lays there, panting, shivering and bleeding]

Toxic: *grins* Good boy.

Manik: *crying quietly*

Toxic: *sneers*

[The door to the warehouse is suddenly blown off the hinges]

Manik: !!!

Toxic: *whips around* What the fu-

[Before Toxic can even finish, a Chaos Spear flies right through his heart]

Manik: !!! [cowers, covering his head]

[Toxic falls back, dead as a door-knob. Statyx is standing in the doorway to the warehouse.]

Manik: ._."

Statyx: *looks at Manik, and sees his condition* !!!!

Manik: [Tries to crawl away weakly]

Statyx: *walks up to him* Hold it kid, you aren't going anywhere in this state.

Manik: *weak crying* D-Don't h-h-hurt m-me....!! [cringes away from Statyx]

Statyx: Kid, you have injuries you could die from if you don't get treatment; hurting you is the last thing on my mind.

Manik: [Tries to crawl away] *weakly* L-Leave me a-alone...!

Statyx: *gently picks him up and puts him over his shoulder* I don't think so.

Manik: *yelps in pain and fear* N-No!! P-Put me down!!

Statyx: I repeat: I don't think so.

Manik: [Struggles weakly and painfully] P-Please...!!

Statyx: Hmph.

Manik: *weakly* W-Why won't you leave me a-alone...?! H-Haven't I been th-through enough...?!

Statyx: Yeah, you have. That's why I'm getting you some help.

Manik: *weakly* W-What help...?

Statyx: Medical.

Manik: *low whine*

Statyx: Would you prefer a morgue?

Manik: N-No...

Statyx: Thought so. *carries him out of the warehouse*

Manik: *quiet crying*

Statyx: *carrying Manik*

Manik: ....w-where exactly are you taking me....?

Statyx: Getting you medical treatment.

Manik: But....but where...?

Statyx: G.U.N facility I suppose.

Manik: W-WHAT?! D:

Statyx: You heard me.

Manik: N-No, you can't...!! Nooo!! [starts struggling as hard as he can] Nonononononono!!!

Statyx: *holding onto Manik, he spanks him*

Manik: *yelp* ._."

Statyx: Don't complain!

Manik: *sniffling* B-But...I-I'm scared...!!

Statyx: Why? You check into the Medical Bay, get fixed up, and your bro comes into to pick you up.

Manik: [Covers head with hands] *whimpers* D-Don't wanna...

Statyx: G.U.N Hospital, or morgue.

Manik: [Shivering, he whimpers] I-I don't wanna die...

Statyx: Thought so.

[He sniffles, and then starts to cry quietly.]

Statyx: *carries him to G.U.N. Base*

[At the G.U.N base, Manik starts to shiver and whimper with fear.]

Statyx: Calm down kid, alright?

Manik: [Still shaking in fear] *whine*

Statyx: Aiaiai...

[Manik cringes against Statyx's body, still shivering.]

'Manik: C-Can we please go somewhere else...?!

Statyx: Nope.

Manik: P-Please...?!

Statyx: Wanna be spanked again?

Manik: !! *whimper* N-No!!

Statyx: Thought not.

Manik: *whimper* [looks over his shoulder at the G.U.N base]

Statyx: Geez kid, calm down. We go in, you get fixed up, brother picks you up, and you get a nice treat.

Manik: B-But I don't want them t-touching me...!!

Statyx: Who?

Manik: *fearful whimper* Th-The doctors...!

Statyx: Oh come on...

Manik: I h-h-hate d-doctors...!! Th-They're scary!! *whine*

Statyx: *rolls eyes*

Manik: P-Please, I d-don't wanna go...!! DX

Statyx: Do I have to say it again?

Manik: *sniffling and crying*

Statyx: Geez kid, you need to grow up...

[They go inside the G.U.N base.]

Statyx: Alright, let's get this over with.

Part 5
Manik: [Clings to Statyx, whimpering]

Statyx: Geez kid, calm down.

Manik: *whimper*

[Then, some doctors appear.]

Statyx: Yo, docs!

Manik: [Starts struggling as hard as he can]

Doctor 1: Agent Statyx?

Statyx: This kid needs help.

Doctor 2: Hmm?

Manik: N-No!!

Doctor 2: *sees Manik's injuries* Good Aurora...!!

Doctor 1: He needs medical attention right away!

Manik: [Keeps struggling] Nnnngh...!! NO!!

Statyx: *spanks him*

Manik: [Yelps and stiffens]

Statyx: Stay still, kid.

[Manik starts shivering in utter fear as Doctor 1 reaches for him.]

Doctor 1: It's alright...we're not going to hurt you...

Manik: [Cringes away, whimpering]

Doctor 2: Um... *snaps fingers* Hold on. *rifles through his pocket, and pulls out a candy*

Manik: ? [looks at the candy cautiously]

Doctor 2: *holds the candy out to Manik*

Manik: *low whine*

Doctor 2: Don't worry, it's safe.

Manik: ....... [hesitantly reaches out for the candy]

Doctor 2: *gives him the candy*

Manik: [Sniffs the candy]

Doctor 2: Here. *breaks off a piece of the candy and eats it*

Manik: ......... [hesitantly eats a piece of it]

Doctor 2: See?

Manik: *hesitant nod*

Statyx: So, can you guys take him?

Doctor 1: Yes.

Manik: [Ears droop]

Statyx: *gently hands Manik to the doctors*

Manik: *low whimpering*

Doctor 2: *takes Manik, holding him gently*

Manik: *whine*

Doctor 2: Don't worry, you're safe...

Doctor 1: Let's get to work on those wounds.

Doctor 2: Right!

[They take him into one of the Emergency Rooms. Inside...]

Manik: *whimpering*

[The doctors begin cleaning Manik's wounds]

Doctor 1: Just relax; you're going to be okay.

Manik: [Cowering on the gurney, shivering]

Doctor 2: Don't worry kid, you'll be alright...

[Manik suddenly yeps in pain as the antiseptic touches a particularly deep wound. He tries to pull away. Some of the doctors hold him down.]

Manik: I-It hurts!! It hurts!!

Doctor 2: If we don't use this stuff, your wounds won't get better!

Manik: [Shivering harder] I-It hurts so b-bad...!

Doctor 2: Shhhh, don't worry kid, you're in safe hands.

Manik: *crying*

Doctor 2: C'mon kid, calm down.

Manik: [Sniffling and still crying a bit; forces himself to hold still]

[The doctors resume cleaning.]

Manik: [Ears drawn back and eyes squeezed shut] *sniffle*

[The doctors finish cleaning his wounds]

Manik: *relieved sigh*

Doctor 2: There.

Manik: *tired voice* Can I go now...?

Doctor 1: [Looks at the stab wound on Manik's leg] Not with these injuries...

Doctor 2: Definitely not...

Manik: *whine*

Doctor 2: Calm down little fella.

Manik: [Shivering with fear] *whine*

Doctor 2: *pulls out some gauze*

Manik: [Cowering on the gurney] Th-this isn't g-gonna h-hurt, is i-it...?

Doctor 2: Don't worry, it shouldn't.

Manik: O-O-Okay...

Doctor 2: *starts wrapping his injury*

Manik: *quiet whimpering*

Doctor 2: *continues carefully wrapping his leg*

Manik: [Holding still the best he can]

Doctor 2: *finishes wrapping up Manik's leg*

Manik: *relieved sigh*

Doctor 2: There...

Doctor 1: So, what's left?

Doctor 2: Hmm...

Doctor 1: He's got a lot of internal bleeding...so I think surgery is next.

Manik: W-WHAT?!

Doctor 2: Perhaps...

Manik: N-No......p-p-please, n-no s-s-surgery...!!!

Doctor 2: *thinking*

Manik: [Tries to crawl away]

Doctor 2: !! *grabs a firm but gentle hold of him*

Manik: *yelp* [tries to pull away] No!!

Doctor 2: Stay still!

Manik: I-I don't w-want s-s-surgery!! L-Let me go!!

Doctor 2: Calm down, or you'll make your injuries worse!

Manik: I-I don't w-w-want s-surgery!! DX

Doctor 2: If you don't you could die!

Manik: B-But, I-I'm s-s-scared....!

Doctor 2: Unfortunately, it's either surgery or risk death.

Manik: [Eyes tear up] *whimper*

Doctor 2: Don't worry, you won't feel a thing.

Doctor 1: Yeah. You'll be asleep the entire time.

Manik: *sniffle* O-O-Okay...

Doctor 2: Good.

Doctor 1: Let's get him prepped then.

Doctor 2: Alright.

[They take him into the O.R to get him prepped for surgery.]

Part 6
[In the O.R, Manik is shivering with fear again.]

Doctor 2: *holding a gas mask* This will help you sleep during the surgery.

Manik: [Eyes the mask fearfully]

Doctor 2: Now now, don't worry...

Manik: Y-You promise I won't f-feel it...?

Doctor 2: Yes.

Manik: O-Okay...

Doctor 2: *puts the mask over Manik's muzzle*

Manik: *muffled whimper* [holds still]

[The gas starts seeping from the mask...]

Manik: ?! *muffled* W-What's going on?!

Doctor 2: The gas is what will put you to sleep.

Doctor 1: [Gently lays Manik on his back] Just relax...

[Manik starts to become drowsy.]

Doctor 2: Alright Manik, I want you to count back from 20.

Manik: *muffled* O-Okay....uhh.....t-twenty.....nineteen.....eighteen.....s-seventeen.....s-sixteen....

[He yawns.]

Manik: F-Fifteen........fourteen.......thirteen........t-twelve...........[falls asleep]

Doctor 2: Alright, he's out. Let's begin.

Doctor 1: Right.

[A few hours later, Manik wakes up in a post-op recovery room, tired and sore.]

Manik: *pained groan* [tries to sit up, but stops, clutching his stomach] Nnngh!!

[He sinks back into his bed, quivering and gritting his teeth in pain. The door then opens, and Doctor 2 walks in]

Manik: ?

Doctor 2: Hello Manik. How are you doing?

Manik: Uhh, g-good...

Doctor 2: Alright. Anyways, the surgery was a success, so in a few days you can go home.

Manik: A-A few days.....?!

Doctor 2: Yes, a few days.

Manik: D:

Doctor 2: We need to make sure you injuries heal properly, and that you don't move around too much.

Manik: *unhappy whine* [sinks into the bed, looking melancholy]

Doctor 2: Sorry, but we need to make sure you get better; that's our job.

Manik: I wanna go home... T^T

Doctor 2: *sighs* Manik, as a Doctor I can't let you go home until you're fully healed.

Manik: Please?

Doctor 2: No.

Manik: ;~;

Doctor 2: Sorry, but it's my job.

[Manik whines sadly and covers his head with the blanket.]

Doctor 2: Don't worry; all you have to do is lay in bed, eat, and not move around too much.

Manik: *muffled* I-I'm gonna g-g-get poked and p-prodded, a-aren't I...?

Doctor 2: Mmmmm... not really. Aside from changing your bandages and making sure the stitches and your leg injury heal properly, you should be alright.

Manik: ........o-okay...

Doctor 2: Alright then.

[Manik's stomach suddenly twinges painfully, and he grabs at it, wincing.]

Manik: Nhn!

Doctor 2: Hm?

Manik: Uhh...i-it's nothing...

Doctor 2: *raises an eyebrow at Manik*

Manik: *low whine* .....o-okay......m-my stomach h-hurts..... T~T

Doctor: Hmm... *walks over to Manik's bedside*

Manik: [Cringes away, ears drawn back]

Doctor: Alright, where does it hurt?

Manik: ...... [hesitantly pulls the covers away, then points to directly below his ribcage, where he was operated on] I-It hurts h-h-here...

Doctor 2: Ah. That's probably from the surgery.

Manik: O-Oh...

Doctor 2: Yes. No real need to worry.

Manik: O-Okay...

Doctor 2: Good. Now, make sure you stay still.

Manik: W-Why? W-What are you going to do...?!

Doctor 2: *chuckles* Nothing. We just don't want those stitches coming loose.

Manik: [Relaxes slightly] O-Oh......o-okay...

Doctor 2: Good. Moving around too much could make some of your injuries worse than they were before.

Manik: I-It could...?


 * (Ryu-I also had the idea that his botched escape would end up aggravating his injuries further, thus forcing him to stay longer at the base >:3)

Lol Tries To Capture Manik
Lol: (Thinking:If I do this right I might be able to get him to the trolls)Hey kid want some chocolate icecream?

Manik: Sorry, but I can't take gifts from strangers. My brother said so.

Lol:I'm your brother's, friend's, friend! (He's not kidding)

Manik: ........I don't trust you. [walks away]

Lol:Dang it!

(Later)

Lol: (Dresses up as Sonic mimicking his voice) I'm home dude! Just had to honor my adoring fans!

Manik: Hi, big bro-[stops]-.....

Lol:Want to come with me to trash some Egg-butt?

Manik: Ah-HA!! You're not Sonic; he never lets me come with him on missions unless there's at least 3 other Freedom Fighters with us!

Axebox: (Disguised as Rotor) Come on!

A random troll: (Disguised as Krinkinko) Eggman won't wait!

Another random troll: (Disguised as Tails) Let's get a move on!

Lol: See there are other freedom fighters. Now let's go!

Manik: And it's not for fun, either; its strictly for observation and some training.

Lol:Eggman wants to see how the hedgehog family fights by sending massive robots to our house! We must stop him!

Manik: You're not Sonic, so just quit while you're ahead!

The real sonic: I'm back from the grocery store and......(To Lol)Who the heck are you!?

Lol:Ummmm.....TWIN BROTHER! I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU! (Hugs Sonic)

Sonic: GET. OUT. NOW.

Miley meets Manik
(Miley seen walking down the street. And, ironically, so is Manik.)

Miley: *sees Manik walking alone, then turns to him* Uh, excuse me cute little boy?

Manik: (Looks around) Huh?

Miley: Over here. What are you doing walking all alone? Where's your guardian?

Manik: Oh, my older brother's letting me get something from the store all by myself. ^^

Miley: Oh, since we wouldn't want a cute little guy like you being robbed. *pinches his cheeks*

Manik: *blushes*

Miley: What's your name?

Manik: Manik...

Miley: that's a nice name! My names Miley (*cough cough* Cyrus XD)

Manik: That's a nice name too. :)

Miley: *blushes, cute high pitched voice* Oh thank you!

Manik: No problem. ^//^

Miley: Your such a cute little sweetheart! *rubs his furry head*

Manik: *blushes harder*

Miley: your certainly cute when you blush ^^

Manik: Uhhh....ehehe....th-thanks... ^//^"

Miley: *kisses him on the forehead*

Manik: [Blushes even harder; grins sheepishly]

Miley: What's the matter, Sweetheart?

Manik: N-Nothing... ^~^"

Miley: You remind me a bit of someone...but who?

Manik: ........... *shrug*

Miley: You kind of remind me of that fast mobian...*tries to remember*

Manik: ! You mean Sonic?!

Miley: That's him!

Manik: He's my big brother!

Miley: Really?! It's an honor to meet someone from his family! ^^

Manik: *blushes* [humbly rubs back of head] ^//^

Miley: *looks up at the sky* It's a lovely day, want me to buy you some ice cream?

Manik: Uhh, well, I'm not supposed to take things from strangers...

Miley: Oh, but I'm not a stranger. We introduced each other already. ^^

Manik: Well, that's true...

Miley: See? I'm not that of a stranger. Besides, I have no intention of doing anything to you.

Manik: Well, okay...

Miley: I'll be right back. ^^ *walks off the the ice cream stand a bit close from where they are*

Manik: [Waiting patiently; decides to practice whistling] *strained, choppy notes*

Miley: *comes back, giving him a vanilla and chocolate swirl*

Manik: Wow, thanks! :D

Miley: No prob! :3

[Manik happily licks his ice cream.]

Miley: So, where were you going off?

Manik: [Already has ice cream on his muzzle] Oh, I was going to the store.

Miley: *looks at him, then giggles*

Manik: ?

Miley: You got a little something all over you.

Manik: Huh? [looks down, sees ice cream on his muzzle] !

Miley: Let me clean it up ^^. *kneels and gets a napkin, cleaning his muzzle up. She then finishes with a small kiss on the lips*

Manik: [Cheeks turns bright red from the kiss] o//o

Miley: *Smiles lovingly* What's the matter?

Manik: Y-You kissed my lips... o//o

Miley: Uh-huh ^^

Manik: ........why?

Miley: Because your such a sweetie ^^

[Manik blushes even harder]

Miley: *gets back up* you don't want to worry your brother now ^^

Manik: Uhh, n-no...

Miley: You better go then. *pats him on the back*

Manik: Y-Yeah...[trots off to the store] Thanks for the ice cream!

Miley: No problem! ^^ See you whenever!

(The next day...)

Miley: *sitting on a park bench, with her laptop on her lap*

(Manik is in the park, chasing a butterfly.)

Miley: *not noticing him, continues typing*
 * (Ryu-I had an idea; what if Manik accidentally got himself hurt, by tripping on something and landing on a rock?)
 * (2315-Me likes the idea >;3)
 * (Ryu-Yus >:3)

Manik: *panting and laughing*

[He suddenly trips and whacks his knee on a sharp rock.]

Manik: *yelp*

Miley: *hears his yelp, then closes her laptop and looks around* Hello?

Manik: [curled up on the ground, holding his bleeding knee] Ooowwww....!!

Miley: *hears his voice, she stands up and looks around, seeing Manik on the ground* !

Manik: *whimpering in pain*

Miley: *runs to him* Manik! Are you alright?!

Manik: *whimpering* I-I h-h-hurt m-my knee...! DX

Miley: *kneels down* I-I'm gonna take you to a clinic, don't worry!

Manik: I-Is that a doctor?

Miley: Yes it is...*picks him up, gently and softly* C'mon, I'll carry you.

Manik: B-But....I-I'm afraid of d-doctors...

Miley: *soft voice* Shhh, don't worry..I'll be right there with you, okay?

Manik: *sniffle* O-Okay....

Miley: *holds him closer* Shh, everything's gonna be alright...trust me...

Manik: *sniffling*

Miley: *starts walking* what made you fall anyway?

Manik: I-I tripped...

Miley: You must've fell on something hard to make it bleed like that...

Manik: I think I fell on a rock...

Miley: Hm, well be careful next time.

Manik: *nods* Y-Yes ma'am...*sniffles*

Miley: *smiles*

[They finally get to the hospital. Manik starts shaking in fear.]

Miley: *holds Manik close* shhh....The doctor here is very nice...She won't do a thing to you...Okay?

Manik: *sniffling* O-Okay...

(The doctor appears, showing a wide, warming smile)

Doctor: Hello, what seems to be the problem?

Manik: I...I hurt my knee...

Doctor: I'll just put on some Nesporin and a band-aid, then you're all good! ^^

Manik: O-Okay...

Doctor: *kneels down, getting some Nesporin*

Miley: You feeling okay?

Manik: Y-Yeah...

(The Doctor slowly puts the antibiotics on his leg, giving him a small sting)

Manik: *whimper* [tenses up]

Miley: *kisses his forehead* shh...

(The Doctor then puts the band-aid on, the sting slowly going away)

Manik: [Looking less tense] .........

Miley: You feeling better now?

Manik: Y-Yeah...

Miley: good ^^

Doctor: *gets up, then gets a lollipop from her pocket* Here you go, youngster ^_^

Manik: ! [takes lollipop] Wow, thanks...!

Doctor: Not a problem!

Manik: [Tail wags] ^^

Miley: Not so scary, wasn't it?

Manik: No, it wasn't.

Miley: *gets up, putting Manik off of her lap* So, where do you wanna go?

Manik: Uhhhh....I'm not sure...

Miley: I could take you home, if you want.

Manik: Okay.

Miley: Where do you live, anyways?

Manik: Knothole Village.

Miley: Is that near here?

Manik: Kinda, yeah...

Miley: Then that's good! *picks up Manik and begins to run*

Manik: Wheeee!

MOAR TP
(Cuoleputure is seen walking around Knothole Village, along with Masamba and Ryoichi...Manik is also outside, taking advantage of the warm weather to help get rid of a fever he has.)

Manik: -///-

Masamba: That kid doesn't look so good....

Cuoleputure: Hmph...

Ryoichi: Maybe we can ask him for directions out of this weird place.

Manik: *quiet whine* I hate being sick...

Cuoleputure: Fine...Make it quick...

Masamba: *walks up to Manik* Hello there!

Ryoichi: *follows Masamba* May we ask you questions for directions?

Cuoleputure: *hiding himself by opening his wings* Hmph...

Manik: !! [jumps up] *thinking* I-It's them...!!

Cuoleputure: Huh? *lowers his wings, looking at Manik confusedly with his yellow snake-like eyes*

Ryoichi: What...?

Masamba: ? Manik: *frightened wail* [turns and flees, running awkwardly due to his lingering fever]

Cuoleputure: that boy looks like he's gonna fall over...

Masamba: maybe he is...?

Ryoichi: Maybe we should bring him inside to whichever house he came from...?

Cuoleputure: I'll get him...*opens his wings and flies quickly towards Manik*

Manik: [Looks over his shoulder to see Cuoleputure pursuing him quickly] AAAAAAAHHH!! [runs faster but then trips] WAH!!

Cuoleputure: *quickly catches Manik before he falls down*

Manik: [starts struggling] N-No!! P-Please, l-let go!!

Cuoleputure: *smoothly turns his wind so they'd go back to where they were* Relax, I'm not gonna do anything to you.

Manik: [Struggling and whimpering]

Cuoleputure: *pins him down to make him stop struggling* Someone get this kid's guardian... - -

Manik: [Starts to panic at being held down] *crying*

Cuoleputure: Oh great...

Masamba: Little child, what's wrong? Why are you crying?

Manik: *shivering* D-Don't h-h-hurt me....p-please....!!

Masamba: Why would we hurt you? We aren't bad!

Manik: I s-saw all three of you in a n-nightmare I had...!!

Ryoichi: Strange...

Masamba: I rest assure little one, we are friendly! We would never do such harmful things that would hurt you! *smiles lovingly, patting Manik's head*

Manik: *frightened whine* [tries to move his head away]

Masamba: *stops* What's wrong Little One? Why are you still scared of m-

Ryoichi: *pulls Masamba back* It's no use, seems the child is frightened of us because we were in this "nightmare".

Cuoleputure: I say we leave the kid alone and continue on asking directions. - -

Manik: *shivering in fear*

Masamba: Little One, do you have any parent's or guardians around?

Manik: *shaky nod*

Masamba: Can we please talk to him or her?

Manik: O-O-Okay...

Cuoleputure: *lets go of him*

[Manik immediately gets up and takes off running, stumbling drunkenly.]

Cuoleputure: I knew we couldn't trust this kid!

Masamba: He might get hurt or even lost in the forest up ahead!

Ryoichi: Do what you think is right, I'm just gonna follow along.

Cuoleputure: I say we get the kid and return him here before people start to get suspicious.

Masamba: Wait but you'll scare hi-

(He quickly gets cut off from his sentence as he sees Cuoleputure flying after Manik)

Masamba:...What happened to "listening to other people's decisions"????

[Manik is still running, panting harshly.]

Cuoleputure: *goes faster, right behind of him*

Manik: NONONONONO!! DX

Cuoleputure: *swoops down and tackle Manik quickly*

Manik: WAHH!!

Cuoleputure: *bites Manik powerfully in the neck, injecting a type of purple sleepy liquid*

Manik: AAAAOOOOOWW!! [starts struggling violently] 'HEEEEELLLLLP!! SOMEBODY!!'

Masamba and Ryoichi: ?!

Cuoleputure: *bites powerfully, making Manik unconscious*

Manik: .............

Cuoleputure: *stops biting and gets on his knees, carrying Manik back to where he was, then knocking on a door*

Masamba: Cuole...?

Ryoichi: *confused*

[The door opens, revealing some random resident.]

Resident: Uhhhh.....can I help you?

Cuoleputure: Do you know the guardian of this child? *shows the Resident Manik*

Resident: Oh yeah. That's Sonic's little brother. Geez, what happened to him???

Masamba: *interrupts* he was hit with some kind of rock. Where is this Sonic?

Resident: He's out, I think...

Masamba: Thank you for your time, that was really helpful. *walks off*

Cuoleputure: *bows in respect, then walks off as well*

Manik: X_X

Cuoleputure: I think we should leave this kid here and come back once this Sonic comes back...

Manik: [Twitches slightly]

Masamba: Good idea, we should leave him somewhere he'll be comfortable.

Manik: Urrrgh...

Cuoleputure: Huh?

Manik: [Ear twitches] W-What happened....?

All three: *disappear in a flash*

Manik: [Looks around, confused and wary] .......?

[Suddenly, he is snatched up by a SWATbot!]

Manik: AAA-[the SWATbot covers his mouth]

SWATbot: [Runs away, carrying Manik]

Cuoleputure: *senses Manik being kidnapped* Hrm?

Masamba: What's wrong?

Cuoleputure: Nothing...just go on...

Ryoichi: you sure?

Cuoleputure: Yeah yeah, I just need to see if the kid is taken a nap or somethin'...

Masamba: Hmm...Okay, we'll go. Cmon Ryoichi.

Ryoichi: But shouldn't we-

Masamba: *grabs Ryoichi's arm and opens his angelic-like wings, then flies off with him*

Cuoleputure: *looks at them for a moment, then back at the way Manik was from* You dumb kid...

[At Eggman's base...]

SWATbot: [Throws Manik in front of Eggman]

Manik: Uhn!!

Eggman: Ohohoho! Well if it isn't Sonic's baby brother!

Manik: *frightened wail*

[Eggman picks up Manik by the scruff of his neck.]

Manik: *shivering* L-Let go!!

Eggman: [Observes Manik's bloodshot eyes and flushes cheeks] Hmmm......you seem ill...

Manik: H-Huh?! N-No I'm not...!!

Eggman: *evil grin* I think you're lying...

Manik: I-I am n-not...!!

Eggman: Don't worry, I'll "take care" of you....hehehe!

(They hear weird noises in the vent, as if something crawling...)

Eggman: ?

Cuoleputure: *bursts out of the vent, growling viciously* Let go of the kid, or the hand that's on him will get chopped off! *opens his wings, showing off his yellow snake eyes and appearance*

Eggman: HOLY-

'Manik: *frightened gasp*

Cuoleputure: *gets on all his legs, growls* I said, let go...

Eggman: Why, so you can eat him? Waste of a good test subject if you ask me...

Cuoleputure: Oh, I don't eat, I kill...*his eyes turn blood red, then lets his instincts take over and attacks viciously towards a SWATbot*

SWATbot: !! [gets destroyed]

Eggman: !! [flees, still carrying Manik]

Cuoleputure: *opens his wings instantly and flies at an unimaginable speed, getting closer to him*

Eggman: [Keeps running]

Cuoleputure: *snatches Manik from Eggman quickly, then goes into a huge vent and disappears with Manik*

Eggman: S***!!

(both later sneak out of Eggman's base, with Manik tired and hungry...)

Cuoleputure: *returns back to normal, eyes switching back to yellow* You okay, kid?

Manik: *panting and shivering* I-I feel sick...

Cuoleputure: *carries Manik, incase he begins to feel weak* I'll carry you, I don't want to walk with some kid who's gonna hurl all the way back to your village.

Manik: O-Okay...

Cuoleputure: It's getting dark, I don't think it's safe for us to be walking...*opens his wings*...Are you afraid of heights?

Manik: Uhhh, a-a little...

Cuoleputure: Then hang on.*begins to lift from the ground*

Manik: !!

Cuoleputure: *begins to fly off*

Manik: *frightened gasp*

Cuoleputure: *Now at a height, they begin soaring in the sky, not that far from Knothole Village though*

Manik: [Instinctively clings to Cuole, shivering]

Cuoleputure: *his fur being very soft and fluffy, as they get closer and closer*

Manik: [Feels somewhat soothed by Cuole's soft fur]


 * (2315-Yep, Soft fur always soothes people :3)
 * (Ryu-LOL yup XD)
 * (2315-It's so true XB)

Cuoleputure: *finally reach Knothole Village, he also notices Manik clinging to his fur, giving a small smile*

Manik: [Still clinging]

Cuoleputure: *looks for a place to land, he drops to the ground, still holding Manik* Here you go, kid...

Manik: Th-Thank you...

Cuoleputure: *lets Manik get on his feet, then knocks on Sonic's door powerfully* It's late, You should get your rest for your recovery...

[The door opens, revealing a very harried-looking Sonic.)

Sonic: What is i-[sees Manik and Cuole] Manik!!

Cuoleputure: You need to get this kid some rest...It's been a long day for both him and Me...*gets ready incase he attacks*

Sonic: I was just about to go looking for him, too...! [gently picks up Manik] Thank you so much...uhh.....what's your name?

Cuoleputure:...*gets in normal position again, but then feels a massive headache* uugh! ...C-Cuoleputure the Pheonolf...You must be Sonic...

Sonic: Yeah.....is something wrong?

Cuoleputure:...Just a headache...nothing-*feels as if a needle sticked itself in his head, then growls in pain*

Sonic: Uhh....okay...
 * (2315-he tends to have powerful headaches because of something popping out from his past or from him staying too long in the capsule)
 * (Ryu-Oh, okay)

Cuoleputure: *pain finally takes over, and he falls down shortly after Sonic replied* x_x

Sonic: !! [carefully sets Manik down and goes over to Cuole]

Cuoleputure: *lays motionless, wings sprawled on top of him*

Sonic: Oh crap....[starts to drag Cuole inside his house]

Cuoleputure: *basically a plushed-up Fluffy and fuzzy Phoenix-Wolf doll* x3x

[Inside, Sonic manages to get Cuole on the couch]

Cuoleputure: *stays there motionless*

Sonic: Poor dude...

Cuoleputure: *wings retract, making them unseeable*

Manik: Is he going to be okay...?

Sonic: I hope so...

Cuoleputure: *suddenly puts his hand on his head, opening his eyes* uugh....

Sonic/Manik: ?

Cuoleputure: A few minutes of being knocked out and suddenly I'm in a new surrounding..? *tries to sit up, looking around confusingly, then turning his eyes at Sonic* Where am I?

Sonic: My house..

Cuoleputure: *stands up quickly, getting a Chaos Emerald from under his wing* I am terribly sorry...I'll leave now...

Sonic: No, it's alright...! You passed out in front of my house, and I brought you inside...

Cuoleputure: *confused look* Uh Okay...

Sonic: Is something wrong...?

Cuoleputure: That Obese Man...He's on my mind lately...

Sonic: You mean Eggman?

Cuoleputure: Yes, If that is his name. This isn't the first nor last time I shall see him, though.

Sonic: I see..

Cuoleputure: *his ears turn the other way instantly, then tries to use Aura to see what's happening* Hmm...

Sonic: Huh?

Cuoleputure: I sense that Obese Man is doing something strange again...

Sonic: Like what?

Cuoleputure: Like....*opens eyes* Capturing some people....I don't know who....

Sonic: !

Cuoleputure: I'm gonna check it out...

Sonic: Okay..

Krinkinko and Manik
Krinkinko: (Rings on Sonic's doorbell)

Sonic: (Answers the door) Hello?

Krinkinko:Long time no see bluey. Is your brother home?

Sonic: Yeah, why?

Krinkinko:He said he was going to take a tour to see how it's like to be an agent.

Sonic: What it's like to be a G.U.N agent?

Krinkinko:Yup! It stands for Guardians of the United Nations.

Sonic: I know what it stands for Krink...

Krinkinko:So will sir Manik be attending this tour today?

Sonic: I guess so. [Looks around] Hey, Manik! Someone's here to see you!

[Manik runs into the room.]

Manik: Who is it?

Krinkinko:The best guy you'll ever meet. The best, the greenest, the one and only Krinkinko Cricket Hedgehog!

Manik: Uhh....okay...

Krinkinko:So your all ready?

Manik: Yeah...

Krinkinko:Then let's go! (Runs out the door)So are you fast like you brother?

Manik: No...

Krinkinko:(Makes an invisible air rail visible)Then you might want to get on my back.

Manik: Uhh, okay...[jumps onto Krinkinko's back]

Krinkinko:(Leaps up on the rail then starts grinding on it at high speeds)So ever been grinding or skydiving before?

Manik: [Clinging on for dear life] N-No...!!

Krinkinko: Then get ready for your first.... (Jumps off the rail then turns head first falling down rotating) LESSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Manik: AAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!

Krinkinko:(Turns so he's facing feet first and lands on his moving extreme gear)Aaaah now wasn't that relaxing?

Manik: [Clinging to Krinkinko] ._."
