Embedded Files
Dear Uncle Merlin,
I hope everyone back home had a happy Halloween! Well, it wasn’t too happy for us, I have to be honest. Doctor Robotnik put into motion a real frightening plan. We reckon he’d been watching a bunch of the corny scary movies Sonic likes because his last scheme was full of all sorts of stuff he’d ripped off from those films!
Sonic and I were enjoying the horror movie marathon when suddenly the airwaves were hijacked! Doctor Robotnik had taken control of TV. He’d created some weird robot, Spielbot, to film only the sorts of TV shows Robotnik would want to watch. They were rubbish! Half of them were about how great Robotnik supposedly is and the others, yuck, those scripts! There was some high fantasy adventure and I don’t know what was worse, the paladin who was clearly played by a jobbing actor desperate for the spotlight or the thief who was played by a lady who definitely didn’t want to be there! I can’t say as I can blame her, that outfit didn’t look very comfortable.
Anyway, if bad TV was the worst of it we’d have probably let it slide and laughed at Robotnik’s awful production values but it got worse from there, as you might well have imagined. Robotnik nabbed some of our best friends and hurled them into robots based off horror movie baddies! There were the usual vampire and mummies but I can’t imagine the producers of Unlucky Friday Part Forty-Eight or Bad Dreams In The Elm Zone Part XVII would have been very happy to see Robotnik turn Jase and Ferdie into robots under his command!
Suffice to say, we managed to defeat the robots. As ever, I took command and wasn’t even a little bit frightened. Sonic was a bit scared but I told him to be brave and that seemed to do the trick.
Anyway, things weren’t over there as Robotnik had constructed a big creepy castle where he intended to film the grand finale to his own personal horror movie, a real Halloween fright show. And, I mean, this place was grim! It wasn’t a patch on the castle of the Enchanter Kings, that beautiful old building. You could definitely tell this was a Robotnik special, all the corners were cut exactly where you’d think they would be. I know he’s better with metal and machinery than masonry but you’d think someone might have told him the castles in scary films only look like they’re falling apart because they’re centuries old, they’re not meant to look that way brand new!
Least of all, you’d have thought Eggor would have pointed it out. Poor old Kevin the Squirrel got kidnapped again and crammed into a “Mark II” Eggor Badnik. Kevin was a bit of a dweeb but we still knew we had to save him.
Of course, that was easier said than done. Navigating Castle Robotnik and all its tricky traps was no easy feat in and of itself.
And then there was the final surprise Robotnik had in store for us…
Frankensonic!
He really is obsessed with creating robotic versions of my best friend. What a weirdo. I hope he never makes a creepy doppelganger of me!
Not to brag or anything, but suffice to say I saved the day! Sonic helped, naturally, I can’t take all the credit. But I’m really getting the hang of this hero business now!
With Frankensonic destroyed, the castle crumbled and Robotnik fled, as he usually does in these sorts of situations. One day we’ll catch him and bring him to justice.
Robotnik thought he had a trick for us on Halloween, but beating him is always a treat. We were even able to get back in time to see the end of the movie marathon as the broadcast hijacker was emitting from the castle- sorted!
Next Halloween, Robotnik might think twice before enacting his plans, or else we’ll really have to give him a fright!
All my love to everyone back home,
Miles
