It was a peaceful day in the Oak forest, the large forest that surrounded the City and kingdom of Mercia, and within which lay the hidden tree village of the Northern Freedom Fighters. The birds were singing, and the sun, what little of it filtered through the canopy, was shining, and all was peacefull. Until...
"ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!?"
The soundwaves shook the entire village, causing birds to take flight in sheer panic and causing a shower of loose leaves. A second later, extremely loud rock and roll music began playing, continuing the sonic assault. At the center of this, was the hut of Manic Hedgehog, headbanging to the music as he relaxed in a chair not ten feet from the makeshift boom box he had assembled.

At that moment, Bean the Dynamite had been looking through his recently acquired books trying to find a way to make his explosives more effective against most every type of metal. His studies, however, were rudely interupted by the hedgehog's loud music near blowing out his ear drums. Stuffing two unused bomb fuses into his well hidden ears, he began thinking on the spot of a quick solution the newly arisen problem. A lightbulb went off (silently) above his head.
Within less than five minutes, he'd molded some plastic explosives into the right shape and proceeded through the village down to Manic's hut. He slipped in quietly while the hedgehog was intentionally deafening himself with his music and quickly went to work on the boombox. In a flash, he replaced the magnetic speaker cores with hand-shaped bombs, and attached fuses to both the volume and power switches. He then made his exit as the stereo went silent, before the hedgehog could notice what he had done, patiently waiting outside to hear the fruit of his efforts unfold.

Manic continued headbanging bor about two minutes after the speaker went dead before he realized the speakers were dead. Perplexed he got up and fiddled with the volume nob.
Outside, the sudden silence was broken again by an explosion as gouts of black smoke erupted from Manic's windows and open door. Inside, when the smoke cleared, was found Manic, his front side completely blackened, and a large blast mark on the table where his stereo used to be. He blinked as his mind took the two seconds to process the possible subjects for his current condition and then he shouted: "Un-cool, Bean, UN-cool!"

Bean grinned widely upon hearing his comrade's lamentation break the sudden peaceful silence. His work being done, he attempted to scurry back to his studies, but not before letting out a loud laugh at the hedgehog's expense. "Huhuhuh-HAHA."

"The devil is going on here?!" a lightly british voice asked as its owner, Rob, came running in the direction of Manic's hut. As soon as he came to a stop he shot a hand up to readjust the hood that had flown askew from over his brow.

Manic, front side still blackened, stormed out of his still smoking hut. "That lame brain duck blew up my stereoi man!" he yelled, then added, "and I'd just found parts that didn't burn out after two seconds of max volume too.."

Bean quickly scurried back and pecked Manic rapidly in the head. "Huhuhuh-HAHA!"
He then attempted to flee again.

Rob had opened his mouth to say something when the duck returned with his 'retaliation'. The cloaked hedgehog just pressed a hand to his temple and sighed deeply.

"Grrr..' smarting from the pecking, Manic grabbed a large acorn from nearby and chucked it at the fleeing Duck's head. [dice=7][rand=21149004036457470266955278503117621650579250910574321746553731234525]

The acorn beaned Bean right in the back of his head, knocking him down. "... HuhuhHAHA."[rand=04383535797678961670776828668892482665075080458473950803102446936]

The hedgehog's expression went flat and he pulled his hand away from his face. "Alright you two, enough horseplay," he turned to the other hedgehog with a stern look. "Manic, you know better than to go blasting your music like that. We may as well be saying 'Hey, Itzal, here we are!'" he folded his arms over his chest and frowned.

"Aw, common man. How'm I supposed to really get into the music if I can't feel the beat!"

"... Headphones?" The duck suggested from the ground.

The green hedge just shook his head, "You guys just don't get it..." he sighed, "Besides, you don't see ME complaining when bomb beak there nearly blew us all the way to Mobotropolis last mission."

"Excuse me?!" Bean said, getting to his feet. "It isn't my fault that you guys can't listen to simple directions about evacuating BEFORE a timer goes off! Wasn't it you who said 3 minutes would be more than enough time to get out of the Swatbot factory?!"

Aaaaand... the cloaked hedgehog took to rubbing at his temple again. It seemed as though it would be one of those days.

The duck turned up his beak at the hedgehog. "Whatever. You gave me the time estimate. I set it like you told me to. If it's anyone's fault for the close call, it's YOURS."

"woooooo.... Now thats a sweet system..."
Behind them a Silver Liger girl with a black bomber jacket, black biker gloves and tall black boots was sitting in front of the blown speakers, inspecting the insides with a large guitar strapped to her back.
"Too bad it's thrashed though..."
She poked a part inside one, and a large chunk of it's circitry falls out.

"Now, now, children," Rob spoke, raising both hands defensively in an attempt to calm the two down. "There's no point in arguing over something that's already happened," he sighed and shrugged slightly, glancing at the green hedgehog. "Manic, if you really must play your music so loudly without headphones... Can't you do it outside the village? Far enough away so not to risk our location?" And far enough that we don't have to listen to it...

Nearby, a door creaked softly as it opened, then clicked when it was closed again. Rouge made her way around the bickering group, taking care not to enter it, as she headed off on her own for a little peace; it was getting a bit too noisy around the village for her taste.

The duck exhaled deeply and turned away, about to storm off. "I just make the explosives for you. It's not my fault if people don't use them properly." He growled.

Manic's ear twitched as he heard someone poking around the remains of his hut. "Hey hey! Have some respect for the dead!" he shouted.

And now the group was dispersing. Rob let loose a sigh as he watched the duck storm off, then caught Rouge out of the corner of his eyes. Deciding Manic could take care of himself, he calmly walked off after the bat. "How do there. Active day, eh?" he greeted pleasantly.

Rouge's ear turned before her head, and she sent Rob a glance in greeting. "Hello. Just going out for a bit... Didn't mean to distract you." Folding her arms behind her back, the bat continued on her way toward the outer limits of Meadowood Village.

"I needed it, really, between those two." the hedgehog chuckled as he followed after her.
