Chapter II: Rebels
Hikari, Wind and Mason all pack what they needed for defense and protection. Hikari put on his nanoarmor for extra protection and he grabbed his father's old satchel belt and hoisted it across his shoulders. Wind put his katana that his mother gave him on his back and Mason took the XR-11 Sloar powered Laser Rifle Shadow gave him. After Hikari grabbed their old headsets and some of the small items from his father's 'misc. gear' box they were ready to head for the ground of Robotropilis.
The three head for the entrance to New Knothole where Blaze the Cat stood guard. Even with all the years since she returned home from Mobius she looked as if she hadn't aged a bit. She stops the three when they reach her post
"Hold it you three I can't let you go past here, the ground above is Robotropilis its too dangerous." Blaze says to the three
"Blaze, we have to go we may be the only chance at stopping Eon." Hikari says "Without Sonic, Shadow or Rage who is left with their amounts of power then their own flesh and blood?"
"Hikair," Blaze smiled warmly, he reminded her of Rage always determined, loyal, carefree, protective and a lot of other things. "I understand but without the Chaos Emeralds or anyone with an Ultima Chaos Form like Rage did there is no way you can stop his main mech. If only you followed you dad's path, Hikari then Mobius may have a chance…" Blaze felt a tear come to her eye from the thought of how close Eon was to finding New Knothole
"Don't cry Blaze," Hikari says "We have the Chaos Emeralds and I am following Rage's path. I took his blade and the Emeralds and that is why we are going."
Blaze looked at the red hedgehog the fire of determination burned greatly in his eyes. "Perhaps Hikari you are just the ray of light we need to get through these dark times." Blaze steps aside to let them through. The three pass and head up the ladder to the world above.
As the three emerge from the hidden stump entrance they looked around at the place. Everywhere looked like a wasteland it was like the Robotropolis Dump was build right on top of New Knothole. Of course it actually was since beyond the gates lie Security bots.
"To think there was anything before this at all…" Wind comments looking around
"There isn't much time we must stop Eon now." Hikari says continuing out of the Dump towards the shutdown Transit Station. When the three arrive they look at the path to the Robo HQ to confront Eon. As the three enter the station an alarm sounds and almost instantly a group of four mobians two hedgehogs, a wolf and a female fox came down from the ceiling with laser pistols pointed at the three.
One of the hedgehogs looks at their prisoners before lowering his weapon "Mobians?" he asked "When did leave New Knothole?"
"not even an hour ago. My name Is Hikari the Hedgehog son of Rage the Hedgehog." Hikari says nodding in greeting "The blue one on my right is Wind son of Sonic and the dark grey on to my right is Mason son of Shadow."
The four look at them like they had seen a ghost. Finally the fox spoke "You are the children of The Big Three who were killed not too long ag?" she asks and all three nod.
"Well I guess this is quite the way to introduce ourselves huh cuz? I'm Jason my father is Icezer, Rage's brother. The other hedgehog is Xage's son Logan the pretty fox behind me is Crystal Christina's daughter and the wolf on my right is Lea Axel the Wolf son. So I guess it's like a family reunion." The dark blue hedgehog spoke. "Now tell me have you inherited what your father did?"
"Yes, Jason that is why we are here. We came after I took the responsibility and we are here to confront Eon Robuttnik and show him what for. I am sick of him pushing the world around because of his farthers robot army. Hikari says and the four look like he was crazy
"Hikari, that is suicide there is no way you can do it," Crystal says with the rest nodding "there are too many traps and security bots."
"I am still going that is why I am here." Hikari says
"Well if you are that serious then we are part of a rebel network known as The Second Freedom Fighters. If you find more mobians ask them is the stump in the dump." Lea comments.
"Alright well we best get going then see you around" Mason says as the group turns to leave. After they leave the building they head for the Ruined Westopilis their next destination
