ECHIDNA

CHAPTER ONE
Underground
Island
Lisa's
house - Friday, July 19th, 3234, 4:00am
There was a beautiful house in
the middle of a 50 square mile flat grassy field all alone in Underground
Island and on all sides of the valley were surrounded by a forest. In fact, the closest part of the forest is
only a mile away from the house. That
house belongs to the wonderful, famous Lisa Echidna. Best Sonic furry artist on the planet. Right now, she was on her computer updating her site as
usual. Right next to her was a sketch
pad and an open scanner. In Lisa's lap
was Hogi-san watching her.
"See, Hogi-san, this is my
web site. It's called Lisa Echidna
Artworx," Lisa said.
"Is my picture in
there?" Hogi asked.
"Oh, I have many pictures
of you in here," Lisa said, "Let's look at one."
Lisa clicked on her furry art
link and clicked on the picture of Hogi-san being hugged by Kyle. The power of cuteness!
"Aww, is that cute?"
Lisa said.
"Very," Hogi-san said.
What they didn't realize was
that a shadowy figure was walking through the forest. Soon enough, this strange figure saw Lisa's house from a far.
"Yeah... payday," the
figure said. It ran further more and
out of the forest and it ran to the house.
Inside, Hogi-san was looking at
Lisa's sketch pad with all of Lisa's drawings in them. Lisa was just checking her e-mail.
Suddenly, they heard a knock at
the door.
"Hogi, how about you head
to your room while I get the door," Lisa said.
"Okay," Hogi
said. He picked up the sketch pad and
ran to his bedroom.
Lisa left the computer on and
she walked to the door. It knocked
again.
"Hold up, I'm coming!"
Lisa called.
By the time Lisa got to the
door, there was a deep voice on the other side and it said, "Knock
knock."
Lisa paused wondering what it
was.
"I said, knock knock!"
it said again. Lisa thought of it as a
knock knock joke.
"Who's there?" Lisa
asked.
"You're worst
nightmare," the voice said.
"Oh! You mean where I'm trapped and I can't
run... " Lisa said.
"No, not that one..."
"Oh! Oh! The one where a
monster is eating me alive, and..."
"No, I'm talking about
THIS!"
"Oh, but that's not my
worst nightmare by far..." Lisa opened the door and saw that there was
nobody there. She was wide eyed,
worried.
"Hello?" Lisa called.
She closed the door and walked
back to her computer. When she walked
in the living room, she was hit on the head by a book. She wasn't hit heard enough to put her on
conscious.
Lisa looked up and she couldn't
believe her eyes.
"No! No way!
It's impossible!" Lisa yelled.
What she was looking at was
another purple echidna! This one looked
almost exactly like Lisa except her eyes were red!
"That's right, it's
me! Zomicca Echidna!" the echidna
said.
Then Zomicca pounced on Lisa to
attack her. But Lisa pointed her finger
at her and Zomicca was blown backwards by a lightning bolt that hit her.
Lisa got up and faced her
enemy. Zomicca was breathing hard after
that hit. Lisa pointed her finger again
at Zomicca, but instantly, Zomicca kicked up her foot knocking Lisa's hand
away. Then she kicked Lisa across the
face with the other foot causing her to tumble to her side.
Zomicca reached in her shirt and
pulled out a lightning proof vest! she
was faking the heavy breathing that time.
Lisa got up but Zomicca
instantly did a spin kick on Lisa causing Lisa to be thrown to the bookshelf!
"You can't escape me,"
Zomicca said. She ran to the computer,
pulled out a computer pad and typed in some numbers. Then the computer started flashing red!
"Ha ha, Lisa Echidna
Artworx will soon be mine," Zomicca said.
She turned back to Lisa who was slowly getting up and said, "And as
for you, you'll have a nice long vacation in the closet!"
"Closet?" Lisa
wondered, "Okay. The
closet." Then Lisa pressed a red
button on the wall next to her.
"What are you doing? Take your hand away from that!" Zomicca
ordered.
"That just heats up the
closet so I wont freeze to death in there," Lisa said.

Actually, Lisa lied.
"Damnit. Lisa's house has a break-in," a police
officer said at the Underground Island police station. There was a huge electronic map of
Underground Island and the location of Lisa's house was lit up on the map.

Lisa tried to get up after being
beaten and said, "Let me just make one quick phone call to-"
"No!" Zomicca
interrupted, "I am taking over your site!
From now on, this will be called Zomicca Artworx! Do you hear me?"
"Loud and clear," Lisa
said holding her hurt stomach.
