(Chapter 13: A Chapter That Has Nothing to do with the Plot and was Merely Created to Give the Villains Some Screen Time Yet Also Has Something to do With the Plot)
“Hahaha!” Pokey laughed, walking in his spider mech. “Those fools don’t know what we have in store for them!”
“We?” King K. Rool barked. “I think you mean Zero! Even I’M not stupid enough to claim leadership in this!”
Pokey’s throne room looked vastly different from when he was defeated by Lucas. It looked like that of any stereotypical throne room; a shiny gold chair, a red carpet... it was pretty bare, too.
“Just shut up and move those gold blocks,” Black Shadow said. “Zero wants that giant statue of him in...what, two days? At least we got Pokey’s help, what with his Pokey-Bots and all.”
K. Rool’s head shot up. “Pokey? Giving US help?”
Pokey turned to Black Shadow. “Wait a tick. When did you get here?”
Black Shadow grinned. “How I work is none of your concern.”
K. Rool said, “If we’re gonna just randomly let in new villains, shouldn’t we have, like, a meeting and discuss who we could use?”
“Great idea!” Pokey said. “I officially call fourth the first ever Villain Recruitment Meeting!”
“Well, if we’re looking for new villains, why don’t we call that other evil wizard guy...Vaati, I think his name was?” Pokey asked.
“Oh hell naw!” K. Rool snapped. “He’s just flat-out irritating. I’m shocked Black Shadow doesn’t know anyone.”
“Actually, I do, but he’s kind of a jerk.”
K. Rool inquired, “Well he can’t be that bad. Bring him in!”
Black Shadow sighed and snapped his fingers, and Deathborne appeared.
“For what poor, insignificant task have you called forth the great racer Deathborne, future ruler of the—Black Shadow? Uh...”
“Chill, Deathborne,” Pokey said. “We’re doing a villain recruitment so we can get rid of The Smashers.”
“Recruitment, eh? Can’t take out ol’ Mario by yourselves? Pitiful.”
At that point, Deathborne was suddenly shot in the back of the head from the shadows.
“Who’s there?!” K. Rool yelled. “Show yourself! Or yourselves!”
“No, I don’t think I will. I’ll just remain in the shadows for now.”
“What is it that you want?” Black Shadow asked.
The voice replied, “I want what you guys want: To be rid of The Smashers once and for all. Nothing ever really seems to work for you, does it?”
“What, you think YOU can take them down? Let’s see you try.” Pokey said.
“I took down Deathborne just down, did I not?”
“The element of surprise only works for so long,” K. Rool stated.
“Be that as it may, I still have many tricks I can pull on them. All it takes is a simple coin flip. If it lands on the option I want, they die. If it lands on the option they want, they live. 50/50 situation. I can take them out easily.
“But...just who ARE you?” Black Shadow wondered out loud.
“My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog.”
“Hahaha!” Pokey laughed, walking in his spider mech. “Those fools don’t know what we have in store for them!”
“We?” King K. Rool barked. “I think you mean Zero! Even I’M not stupid enough to claim leadership in this!”
