Chapter 17: You've Reached My Pyramid Cave

NOTE: Sorry for taking long, but I had multiple EOCs.

After clearing the entrance to inside the pyramid, Sonic decided to go on through the 'Cave' section of the base. "Tails, go tell Knuckles to enter Eggman's chamber and find the keys. I'll at least clear out the E-series robots!" Sonic took off dashing, as Tails contacted Knuckles through a walkie talkie. Knuckles was sweating as the sand was sticking to his body. "Just wait until the glue dries up and we'll rip the sand right off of you!" Pinkie exclaimed, holding a bottle of Crazy Glue in her mouth. Knuckles groaned and said, "Why didn't you guys just WIPE the sand off of me?" Rainbow Dash put a smile on her face as she proudly stated, "Mr. Sonic the Hedgehog or Porcupine told us to make you look pathetic. You look like a torn-up teddy bear!" Knuckles began swinging his fist back, before hearing the vibration of the walkie talkie in his dreadlocks. He pulled the device out and said, "Repeat that, Tails."

After explaining himself, Tails disconnected from Knuckles and went marching slowly through the beginning of the Pyramid Cave. Knuckles smirked as he said, "All right. I guess I'll get steal some of that Eggman's precious jewels along the way!" Before Knuckles could take off gliding however, Rarity shoved Knuckles off the edge of the platform, forcing him to cling onto another. "Hey missy! What's the big idea?!" Rarity jumped to the platform in front of her and said, "You said that there were jewels in there. So it'd only be more appropriate if I got some." Knuckles performed a Spiral Upper onto the platform and threw a large punch at Rarity, sending her into Fluttershy.

"Looking for valuable objects is what I do! And didn't you mention that you represent GENEROSITY? Keeping jewels for yourself seems pretty selfish if you ask me!"

Knuckles took a leap in the air and began gliding through Hidden Base. "Fluttershy! Fly me over there!" Rarity demanded, getting impatient. Fluttershy, who was in pain, opened an eye at Rarity, confused. Rarity took matter into her own hooves as she sat directly on Fluttershy and kicked her, getting Fluttershy to fly as if she were some kind of airplane. "I'd better stop them before Rarity ends up choking the poor mare," Rainbow Dash sighed as she flew towards Rarity and Fluttershy.

Sonic dropped down in a tunnel with multiple hoops on the walls. "Worst defense system ever, Eggman!" Sonic shouted as he began revving up into a Spin Dash. Within three seconds, Sonic took off jumping through each hoop chanting, "Nice, cool, tight, awesome, and extreme! The five words that define me!" He then eventually made it to an hourglass door. "It's Sandopolis all over again!" Sonic groaned as he flipped the hourglass and somersaulted underneath the door. Sonic bounced up against a spring and got onto a higher platform, where two E-series robots aimed their thermal lasers at the blue hedgehog. Sonic homing attacked one of them, but was zapped by the other. When Sonic got back on his feet, he spin kicked the robot, making its bolts, screws, and oil fall out. "Heh. Guess you won't be making robot love anytime soon." Sonic teased, dashing away as the robot made digitized groaning noises.

Sonic eventually came across a door that required a white weight to be placed on a pedestal. "This is why I can't stand my own fanbase! Why did Sonic Team design Eggman's base? Why is City Escape advertising them? What's my next adventure gonna be like?" Sonic quickly ended his monolog as he threw the weight onto the pedestal and went through the door. Then Sonic entered a long-as-f*ck room with multiple doors, rails, random weights, and a pedestal. Sonic sighed as he slowly approached a E-series robot. "Here. Please cap me as hard as you can. Or better yet predict my future." The E-series robot slowly replied, "In the distant future, a spinoff company will use you to be in a video game. It will be called Sonic Boom, and it will be the lowest received game in the history of forever." Sonic felt the horror in his body as he asked, "Are they gonna redesign my-" The robot then ended up self-destructing right in Sonic's face.
