Nine: A Sonic Prime Story. Chapter 3: No Tittle

Instructions

This chapter I wrote it before all the other chapters. It was gonna be the Prologue since I was originally planning on writing the entirety of Sonic Prime but from Nine's Pov. That's why Colton and Tom's names don't appear. That didn't work out so I decided to write instead about Nine's backstory, but this chapter stayed. Chapter One: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1368565360 Chapter Two: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1386311322 Chapter 3: No tittle I was racing through the subway; I had the hood of my hoodie over my head, and I was holding my two tails in my arms. I couldn't let them catch me, if they did catch me, they would beat me up and pull my tails. "Come back here you little freak." yelled one of them. I wasn't going back, I was hugging my two tails close to my chest, if someone else saw them they would make fun of me. I ran to a narrow hall, near where the motorail pass, I was panting hard, they would catch up to me anytime soon, they were older and stronger than me, I was only a kid. I leaned against what I thought was a wall, thinking of what to do next. I had to hide but where? All of a sudden, I fell back, what I was leaning against wasn't a wall at all, it was a door, to another room. I looked around, no one was there, the only things in there were metal bars and tools scattered around the room, and boxes of my favorite juice boxes that haven't expire yet. And suddenly I could feel my face brighten up, "It's perfect," I whispered. It was the perfect place to call home, the perfect place to be safe. "Come here resident 1-9-9-2!" yelled one of the bullies as I heard their steps getting closer. I instantly get up and tried closing the door. If they knew about that room, I found, my dreams and expectancies will be all over. I found a button on where you enter the passcode, I clicked it and the door closed. "Where is that little freak?" I heard one of the bullies say out loud, as I leaned my ear on the door, to hear better. "Forget it, we will see him tomorrow in the vending machine, like always." Said the other one slightly less loud, but loudly enough to hear him. Then it was silent as if they had walked away, I let out my breath and looked at the room once more. It was perfect for a home, I had juice boxes to drink, and tools to build stuff, as I inspected the room more, I saw computers in the end of the room lying on the ground, and a mattress lying on the ground near a yellow ladder. "Perfect!" I said once more. I looked at the tools; I knew exactly what to do, something that would protect me for the rest of my life. I took out my notebooks from underneath my hoodie and opened it up to a page. I had dreamed a lot of things I wished to build and today I was going to build the only thing those creeps wouldn't destroy. In fact, that thing will destroy them. ———————————————— A few days later. I hadn't meant to go out of my lab, just yet. But juice boxes weren't enough to satisfied my hunger, and I needed to get some real food, like chips, sodas or organic raisin, and besides I had my extra 7 metallic tails to protect me. I arrived to where the vending machines were. "I hope nobody is hiding in there." I whispered, the vending machines were in the corner of the subway, in the shadows, so I was afraid someone might sneak up on me. I enter some Yolk tokens into the coin slot, and press a number, the bag of chips that choose fell, and I lean down to get the chips out of the pick off box. "Hey, you freak!" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around, and saw those two looking at me, I felt afraid, but I know that I shouldn't show weakness because while reflecting back in my lab, I discovered that they see weakness as an advantage to them. "What are you doing?" he said before he paused and added something else, "Miles Per Hour?" They both laughed. "My name is Nine!" I yelled as I maintain my head up high. I refused to show fear. Those creeps looked surprised for a second, but it didn't last long, they laugh again and one of them said, "Nine? That name is dumber than Miles." They started laughing, and I started to feel anger, but a kind of anger I had never felt before, and as I remember all the things they've done, as I remember all those beating, all those insults, all those things I had to take, and did nothing about it. It made me feel mad, and now they are laughing at my new name. I couldn't take it no more. I had enough. "What? Are you gonna cry?" one creep said while still laughing. "Nine miles per hour!" The other creep said as he laughed at the new pun he just made. "What did you just call me?" I asked, as I threw my bag of chips to the side and took my hood off my head. "Um. Nine miles per hour?" he said clearly confused judging by the tone of his voice. "Like I said earlier. The name's Nine!" I yelled as I tried to pounce on them.
