Mobius (Year 3268)
It has been a year since the battle against Tikhaos and training of new team of Freedom Fighters in the Kingdom of Acorn. The whole city was celebrating this anniversary that day.
The most important events that occurred in that year were: Tikhaos mysteriously disappeared a week after his defeat (no one had come to hear her again since), Salma and Juanita joined the team liberators and Castle of Mobius was restored in its entirety.
You could see the large crowd of people gathered around the castle for the grand celebration of that year, which had expected nothing happened out of the ordinary as what had happened the previous year in celebration of the five years of peace.
On the balcony of the castle Queen Sally introduced one by one to the Freedom Fighters: Lara-Su, Argyle, Jacques, Belle, Melody, Skye, Sonia, Manik, Salma and Juanita. All residents applauded the heroes of Mobius for their great deeds protecting the kingdom.
Sasha Cat reporter was present doing a report of everything that was happening, even got to interview several people about how they had been helped by the team liberators. That report were going to spend on television that night.
The party ended without a hitch and everyone is happily retired to their homes to rest.
Almost all residents of the kingdom were present at the party; except the King Sonic, Knuckles, Vector and Espio which were out for two weeks on a special mission of Team Chaotix involving the king in person. But the four eventually return the same day at 9:15 PM.
...
Castle of Mobius (9:00 PM)
Sally, Julie-Su, Tails, Mina, Antoine and Bunnie were gathered in the main hall of the castle. Along with them were Sonia, Manik, Lara-Su, Melody, Skye, Jacques, Belle, Argyle, Salma and Juanita. All were using their best gowns and hoped Sonic, Knuckles, Vector and Espio to start surprise welcome party they had planned for them.
The room was beautifully decorated for the occasion, had even put several flags around it that had the emblem of the kingdom. In the dining room, which was decorated in the same way as dinner was ready.
"Then Sally, think break the news to Sonic that are expecting another baby" asked Bunnie.
"Of course I do. Ya wanna see the reaction to take" replied the chipmunk.
"Surely when he finds will run out and tell everyone in the kingdom one by one" Antoine said.
"No doubt they will, but not tire of repeating the same thing to each of the inhabitants" Julie-Su said.
"I know him very well and not get tired" Tails said.
"I feel the same. That's it" Mina said.
The liberators both were also discussing the same topic.
"I can not wait for the baby. Ya wanna be big sister" excited Sonia said.
"Say it for you. I already have enough to put up with you, now I have to put a baby" said Manik a little cranky.
"But if you also were a baby" Skye said as he tried to hide his smile and look serious.
"That's true. Everyone here have been babies on occasion" Melody said.
"Well, I do not, I do not want to have a younger brother" said the prince.
"Leave him in his world, when the time and will get used to it" Argyle said.
Lara-Su, Jacques, Belle, Salma and Juanita nodded while smiling.
Nevertheless Manik kept insisting and said "I never will get used and it is my last word".
That last comment from him caused others he began to laugh uncontrollably, causing it to be angry.
...
(9:50 pm)
"This is very strange. Already been delayed much, I wonder what happened to them?" Antoine said as he looked at the time on the big clock that was in the room.
"Someone should get them. He must have happened something" Bunnie said.
"Tails, you could get them. As you can find flight will achieve faster" asked him to please Sally.
"Okay, I'll go. Anyway if you had not asked me, I myself had offered" the fox said nodding.
Then he turned to his wife and said "Mina, you accompany me".
"I'd rather stay here, plus someone should stay with Melody and Skye" said the mongoose.
"Okay. I will not be long" he said as he gave a kiss on the cheek.
Then he climbed the stairs that led to the balcony and from there flew with the help of his two tails.
Everyone in the castle looked out the window and watched as he walked away Tails flying.
"I hope not too late. Now I am very concerned at all" Julie-Su said.
"I'm worried, but we have to wait" Bunnie said.
"While we can anticipate and go to the room to be ready" said Sally.
All agreed.
Sonia and Manik ran at the speed of light and were the first to arrive at the table. Then came flying Skye, Jacques and Belle. Then holding hands Argyle and Lara-Su. Behind them Melody, Salma and Juanita.
When came Sally, Julie-Su, Mina, Antoine and Bunnie they sat at the table; obviously separating their places at Sonic, Knuckles, Vector, Espio and Tails.
Now all they had to do was wait for the others, suspecting that something bad was about to happen.
...
At that very moment the roof of a building, which was a bit near the castle, a group of beings were watching their target with binoculars x rays.
They could see all gathered in the dining room of the castle, right where they would have a surprise.
"Everything is going as planned. That fool fox and left the castle to look to others" said one of the beings.
"We can now proceed with the next part of the plan. That seems boss" said another of beings.
"Yes. Put the timer so that everything happens exactly at 10:00" said the head while smiling mischievously.
"If Mr. When Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Vector and Espio realize what happened know what real pain is".
"For my part I want to see faces will to learn what happened".
"You are ready. In just five minutes we will see a great show".
All were attentive Castle of Mobius watching as they began to laugh at a very macabre way.
...
(9:59 PM)
"Well dear. Do not delay" Mina said as he closed the call.
"What did he say?" asked Sally.
"We are on the way. He said he'll be here in 15 minutes" replied the mongoose.
"That's good. Now we need not worry" Julie-Su said.
"He said you were delayed because" asked Bunnie.
"He said that when they arrived we would have happened".
Everything was perfectly normal until suddenly Lara-Su, which was conversing with Argyle, began to have a bad feeling. He felt a strange dark presence all around and did not know what it was. At that time he began to whisper to herself as she looked in all directions "Something's not right here".
Argyle noted the concern of the echidna, but before he could say anything she rose from her seat with a face that his fear and said "Hey all reflected, I feel there is something that does not fit well here. We to leave now".
All stared at him very strangely.
"Why? Is something wrong?" Antoine asked.
"What do you feel loved?" asked Julie-Su.
"I can not explain it, just get out of here quickly" said the very agitated voice.
With that voice no one dared to doubt her and all the chairs rose rapidly with the intention to leave the room.
The clock struck 10:00 PM at that time.
Suddenly a huge explosion was formed in the dining room causing almost everyone fell down involuntarily except Juanita, which was nailed to the wall with a flagpole piercing his chest.
All rose quickly, approached her in shock seeing as he slowly died out blood from his mouth and chest. Salma started sobbing when he saw his younger sister in that state.
Juanita took a last breath and eventually died.
Salma, very sad, he closed his eyes to his sister and began to mourn without control; at that moment all I wanted was to die beside her.
Julie-Su took Salma and gave a hug to comfort her; then began to slowly take the exit, for there was nothing more he could do to get out of there.
The dining room had started to catch fire and everyone had to leave the castle quickly before the fire blocked them all outputs.
...
Meanwhile in the building all saw the smoke had begun to leave the castle and were laughing imagining what might be happening inside.
"We're going to charge two" the chief said.
"Yes, sir" said one of his companions as he took control and pressed a series of buttons.
...
The group moved quickly around the room with the intention of reaching the stairs when suddenly a bomb was exploded on the outside causing all windows exploded in the process and leave their crystals flying everywhere. One of these glasses went flying toward the ceiling and broke part of the cable holding a lamp.
On the other hand the vast majority of crystals flew directly toward the group and almost all dodged except Julie-Su and Salma, to which were buried in various parts of the body. Both were mortally wounded as Salma is a deeply buried neck and Julie-Su was buried in his eyes. The two fell dead in the fire which began to form under his feet.
Lara-Su began to mourn to see her mother being consumed by fire after his death, did not know what to do at that time; Antoine came to comfort her and told her that if Julie-Su was alive had wanted her to survive. The echidna nodded and joined the rest of the group.
"Let us continue, we have to get out of here" said Mina, but suddenly the ceiling light was on it finally came loose and fell on him.
"Mom" said Skye as she walked to where his mother was.
"No Skye. I'm going to make sure she's okay. You stay here with others" he said Melody.
Skye nodded and returned with others.
Melody accompanied by Lara-Su (which had offered to help) approached Mina and saw that he was still alive to see this moving face gesturing pain, so between the two tried to move the lamp but without them realizing it the cable transmitting power to the lamp was still connected and a single spark had caused a short circuit and the three dead being electrocuted instantly.
Skye began to mourn when he witnessed his mother and sister; Argyle felt compassion for him, he laid on his arms and decided to take himself for safekeeping.
Direct all ran upstairs room was a little traumatized after seeing several innocent people die.
They went down several floors trying to avoid the fire had already spread everywhere and smoke was beginning to become dense; so everyone had to crawl on the floor to go down to the next floor.
Suddenly the castle began to shake and various debris began to fall.
Skye and Argyle going to end, but they were in big trouble because smoke had become denser and could no longer see where they were going or who had front. Suddenly they heard a sound of something falling and before you know it give a wall fell on them crushing them both.
The others came out of the smoke and stood up. Antoine, Bunnie, Jacques and Belle were already ready to go down the stairs to the next floor.
Sally, Sonia and Manik had not moved from its place; as they waited for Skye and Argyle leave smoke, unaware that they had died.
"Sally see, we have to go" he Bunnie said.
"Wait Argyle and Skye have not left the smoke" said the chipmunk.
After that a loud explosion that sent a blaze of fire across the hall was formed. Antoine, Bunnie, Jacques and Belle went downstairs and managed to avoid the fire. Sonia and Manik were burned alive by listening only her screams of agony. For its part Sally was thrown downstairs by the impact, striking sharply during the fall and finally breaking every bone in his body, dying instantly.
To witness what had just happened, the D'Coolette family approached the lifeless body of Sally. Finding that she was dead they decided to take some of the things he was wearing to give them to Sonic when to see. They took his crown, the necklace she was wearing and her engagement ring.
The only survivors were running to go down to the ground floor, but found that the first floor was already in flames; so they had to find an alternate exit. Suddenly they saw a window and approached her. They saw that the distance to the ground was not much.
Everyone took what they could and started hitting the window until finally able to break it. Antoine carried Bunnie in his arms, while Jacques took his sister Belle. They stood under the window and jumped onto the floor stand.
When they turned they saw as the fire consumed the floor which had just jump. After that the four were to call the fire department to come and put out the fire.
