I have permission by him to upload his story to Hi, i would like too say first that A/N are MY notes and A/N2 are Burmecian Soldier Dans. Please review, one of the main reasons it's on here is for reviews even if it is just a well done or something.

A/N2: Heres the first part of my Fanfic entitled Tears of Blood. I started writing this after I read the review on issue #134. It is set a year after Sonic and Sally broke up. I was puzzling over this as in A Sally comic "Acsenion" where Sally joins with the one of all Knowledge. (I think thats right). It shows her in 20 years time. So that means that Her and Sonic will get back together. I don't know when but this is how I think it will happen. So I present to you,

Tears of Blood; Chapter 1

The sun spread it's dappled light over the grey wasteland. In the distance lay green fields and A wood that meant safety. On the other side of the wasteland, stood the smoking ruins of Robotropolise. Most of the factories had been levelled or reduced to rubble. But the majority stood silent. Their power supply cut. Upon the only path that ran through the wasteland from the wood to Robotropolise staggered a lonely figure.

Sally slowly staggered along the path back to the Great Wood. She walked with a slight limp as the side of her right shin was bruised. Both her knees and elbows were grazed. A small cut was on her left thigh, a bruise on her right side. A cut was visible at her midriff, running horizontally on her left side. Her right shoulder was bruised and lower arm was blood soaked. Her left arm had a couple of small cuts and bruises. There was a small gash on her forehead just below her hairline. Nicole hung in Sally's left pocket like a dead weight. Her screen smashed and her CPU crushed. In Sally's' other pocket She had a Chaos Emerald. Sally grunted as some of her blood got in her eyes. She raised her right arm and wiped it away. She continued on.

Sally knew she had to get back to Knothole. What remained of Robotniks Swat bots were probably after her. "What happened?" Sally asked herself. All the midnight meetings, the secret communication talks, the hours of planning. How did it all go wrong? How did she lose all the Freedom Fighters? But most of all, How did she lose the only one she loved? Sally cast her mind back 2 months, before the operation, before any of this happened.

Sally woke up to Nicole's bleeping alarm. Stretching and yawning, Sally rubbed her eyes free of sleep. "Off" Sally said to Nicole and the bleeping stopped. Sally swung her legs out of bed and, stretching some more, made her way to the on suite bathroom. After washing and waking herself up, she grabbed her waist coat from its place on the hook, shoved Nicole into her pocket, and went to the comms centre to see if the communication dishes that had been set up by the other Freedom Fighter Factions was working. As soon as she entered, the commanding officer saluted her. "What's the situation?" Sally asked.
"Fine, Save for one thing."
"What is it?" Sally asked once again.
"During the storm last night, one of the dishes came lose from it's mooring and was severely damaged." The commander reported.
"What was the damage?"
"It was minimal, but the damage was enough to send out Rotor for a few field repairs."
"When will it be finished?" Sally asked.
" We sent Rotor out this morning. He should be back by lunch."
Sally nodded in acceptance and left the Comms Centre. There didn't seem to be anything left to do. As she made here way to the planning room, she felt frustrated that of all days for a dish to break it had to be today. The day the Comms Network was going online. Well, there was nothing any one could do until the dish was repaired. Once it was up, the Northern Freedom Fighters would go back to their base and from there, she could get info on Dr Robotnik's supply line. As she entered the operation room everyone was doing their own thing. Tails sat on the old broken sofa, reading a comic. Antoine stood in a corner, surveying the room as he usually did with his scarred eye. Bunnie sat with her back to the room, hunched over one of the many desks. But Sally's eyes were drawn to one desk in particular. Sitting on a light green swivel chair with his red and white sneakered feet on the desk sat Sonic. Sally smiled as soon as she saw him. Sonic smiled back and added a wink. Sally crossed the room to the map in the centre. As soon as she started to move, Sonic was up and at her side as she reached the map. " So Sal, what's the latest on the Comm. system?" Sonic asked. "Not too good," Sally reported. "a dish came loose last night and was damaged. Rotors gone to fix it."
"Well count on Rotor to get it fixed." Sonic told her.
"He should be back about lunch."
"So after the dish is fixed is it going back on Mt Mobius?" questioned Sonic
"I have decided that the dish should be moved to stop the same thing happening again." Sally told Sonic. "But I don't know where."
"Maybe the others might know a good place." Sonic told Sally.
"That's a good idea." Sally said, So she called everyone round and told them what had happened. "So I need a good site for the dish, any suggestions?" Everyone started looked at the map. Then Bunnie spoke "I have a lil' ole' idea."
"Great, lets hear it." Sally said, somewhat intrigued. "I says we put it on that thar' border." Bunnie said, pointing with her one robotic arm. Sally looked puzzled as did all the others. "But Robotniks sentry bots would pick it up." Sonic pointed out.
"Not if came up with a lil' ole' disguise." Bunnie replied.
"That sounds good to me." Sally said. "So what does everyone say to the new proposed site?" Tails, Bunnie and Sonic all raised their hand in acceptance. Antoine just stood there, glaring like he always did. "Don't you like the new proposed site?" Sally asked. Antoine raised his head from the map. "Non" he replied. "Why not?" questioned Sally. "The site will not work as it is too close to enemy territory, even if it isn't spotted by the air troops, it will still be picked up on radar whenever we broadcast." Antoine added in his slightly robotic tone. "If it was me, I would wire tap directly into his own Comms and work out a plan from that." "Every one in favour of Antoine's idea?" Sally asked. Everyone's hands remained at their side. "So it's decided then, we all go for the new proposed site." Sally said triumphantly. Antoine just snorted and returned to his corner. Everyone congratulated Bunnie on her good idea, as Sally moved the model of the dish to the wasteland border. After she had moved it, she felt something lightly grab her right hand. As she looked down she saw Sonics gloved hand lightly hold hers between his fingers. She slowly raised her head and found herself looking him in the eyes. He smiled at her as he released her hand. She smiled at him. "Hey, what's up with you two?" chirped a voice. Sally glanced across to see Tails looking at them both. "Nothing." Sally said. "Are you sure?" Tails said, smiling. "You're blushing." Sally was about to say something when Sonic came to her defence. "It's nothing Bro." Sonic said in Sally's defence. "We're just glad at the new plans, that's all." Tails thought about the answer. "O.k." "That's good now go back to reading your comic." Sonic told him. Tails did as he was told. Sally took her leave of the planning room, closely followed by Sonic. As they walked down the hall, Sally turned to Sonic. "Thanks for that back there." She said. "It was nothing." Sonic replied. They both stopped, and looked at each other. " So what are you going to do now?" Sally asked. "I thought I might go for a quick run, until Rotor gets back." Sonic replied. "Will you be able to relocate the dish?" Sally asked. "Of course." Sonic said. "See you later Sal." And with that, he zoomed off. Sally watched him go. She felt a feeling that she thought she would never feel again. And she was certain that Sonic felt it as well. Even after the massive argument last year, it seemed that she couldn't get Sonic off her mind and she still held a light for him in her heart. She wondered if Sonic felt the same.
