(Continuing from story #21.)




Citizens flee, trying to escape the roots and the giant pumpkin, now the size of a small building, making its way through the city. A news helicopter flies above the buildings, broadcasting live as the buildings are covered by the overgrown vegetation and as some civilians are captured by the roots, stripped down to their underwear and suffering with wedgies. Then the camera pans to the large pumpkin carrying someone, that was Tails Prower, writhing in his Carne Bear underoos.


A blue blur streaks through the city, cutting through the roots and freeing the citizens. That blue blur sped up the giant pumpkin and stopped in front of Tails. Of course it was Sonic the Hedgehog! “Hey, buddy, looks like you have a weed problem.”


“Sonic!” Tails smiles despite the wedgie. “Quick! Free me and finish off this evil fruit!”


The blue hedgehog crossed his arms and tapped his foot as he glanced at his friend. “Before that, tell me, do you know where this monster pumpkin came from?”


Tails got nervous. “I-Isn’t that what matters now! You must do something!” Sonic’s glare intensified, making it clear that he wants to know the truth of the matter. “Urgh! Well! I used some stuff from Chemical Plant, including some radioactive material, to make my pumpkin for the contest the best.” The fox confessed, feeling guilty.


“It certainly is the biggest radioactive pumpkin I’ve ever seen.” Sonic said sarcastically. “And what was the next step? Making the pumpkin pie with the biggest radioactive glow or seeing how many people grew a third arm from eating this stuff?”


“It was supposed to be for carving a scary face!” Tails exclaimed.


Both boys started to argue about what could have happened to Tails’ pumpkin filled with radioactive material and chemicals. They were so focused on that that Sonic didn't notice the roots covering his feet and climbing up his legs, until it was too late.


The hedgehog's eyes widened as he felt the roots enter his pants and wrap around his body. “Hey! Keep your leaves away from me!” Sonic exclaimed trying to fight back. The pumpkin's response was to lift the hedgehog into the air and tear off his clothes until he was left only in his pink underoos of Elmo and his friends. “Yeeeep! What the heck do you think you're doing!?” Sonic said embarrassed. The pumpkin began to give the hedgehog a big wedgie just like the fox. “EEEEEKK! WHY A WEDGIEEEE!? WHAT KIND OF THINGS HAVE YOU TAUGHT THIS THING!?”


The news helicopter focused on Sonic and Tails, now reduced to their underwear and being dominated by the giant pumpkin. The news channels asked for help from other heroes watching the broadcast to help deal with the now named “Atomic Pumpkin” that is terrorizing the city.
