Rocket and Sally were enjoying a private moment in the Great Forest, far away from New Mobotropolis. Whenever they were gone, Frost and Leaf was the leaders of Team New Mobotropolis. Sally thought it unfair that Rocket appointed his own best friend as one half of the acting leadership, but she knew that she would have done the same if Leaf was her best friend. Deep in the forest, Rocket and Sally were currently having a private make-out session while sitting one of the logs.
"You always kiss so good, Rocket," Sally said.
"Thank you. I've had experience," Rocket said.
"Blaze?"
"Who else?"
"Right. You always make me laugh," Sally said.
"Thank you," Rocket said before he and Sally continued their private moment. As they were enjoying the moment, Sally and Rocket fell back onto the log.
"Sorry. I guess I got too carried away, Sal."
"It's okay. I think we should do more than just making out."
"I get your drift," Rocket said before taking off his Air Shoes. Sally followed by taking off her boots. Before she could take off her vest, Sally and Rocket both felt the ground rumbling. Rocket slipped his Air Shoes back on while Sally put her boots back on.
"What do you think that was," Sally asked.
"I'm not sure, hon, but I'm sure it wasn't good."
"Okay, I'll go that way while you go that way."
"Good plan, Sal," Rocket said before he and Sally split up and went in their own directions. While Rocket was looking around for what had caused the ground to shake, a shadowy figure ran by. Rocket looked at where the figure had ran and found nothing.
"What was that?" Rocket then continued his search for the source of the seismic disturbance.
"Rocket," Sally cried out.
"Sally," Rocket cried out before running back and going in the same direction Sally had gone. He stopped when he saw Sally in the clutches of an eagle with green feather and green eyes.
"You put her down right now!"
"You're not in any position to make demands, hedgehog," the eagle said.
"Who are you," Rocket asked.
"My name is Aero the Eagle and I have come for the Princess of Mobius, Sally Acorn."
"Why?"
"Because I'm sure her brother, the King of Mobius, will pay quite the ransom to get his dear sister back," Aero answered.
"Rocket, help me!"
"Don't worry, Sal," Rocket said before his path was blocked by a wall of fire.
"Thank you, Flame," Aero said before a phoenix with red feathers and red eyes appeared.
"You are quite welcome, Aero," Flame said before seeing Sally in Aero's clutches. "Is that the target our leader told us to retrieve?"
"It is. Princess Sally Acorn."
"Let her go right now!"
"Never! Sally will be the one to get us a great amount of money," Aero said, stroking Sally's face.
"I said let her go," Rocket said before he was hit in the stomach by a fist made of pure water.
"Thank you, Aqua. He was begining to get on my nerves."
"Aqua?"
"Another associate of mine," Aero said before a jet of water flowed out of the nearby lake. It formed a figure of water which then became a blue-skinned dolphin with blue eyes.
"You're Aqua," Rocket asked, still recovering from being hit.
"I am and none of us will have you ruining the mission just because we captured your precious little girlfriend," Aqua said.
"What mission?"
"Our leader had assigned the four of us to capture Sally Acorn and we won't leave without her."
"The four of you? I only see three," Rocket said before a fist of stone came up from the earth and knocked him into the sky. After the fist had gone back into the earth, a brown-skinned rhino with brown eyes emerged from deep underground.
"Terra, so nice to see you."
"It's nice to see you, too, Aero," Terra said.
"Shouldn't we be making our getaway while the hedgehog's distracted," Flame asked.
"We should. Let us be off." Aero, Sally, and Flame took off to the skies while Aqua turned back into a jet of water and Terra burrowed underground. They had all disappeared seconds before Rocket made a crater in the ground. When he looked up, he saw that Aero, Aqua, Flame, and Sally had disappeared. Tears had formed in Rocket's eyes because of Sally's capture.
"SALLY!"
