Inside Uncle Chucks Diner 11:45 AM
"Sonic, Tails, Princess Sally" Chuck greeted as he came out from behind the counter.
"There are someone i want you to meet" Chuck concluded as he gestured to the two hedgehogs who was now standing.
"The lady over here is Colorado Jack the Hedgehog" Chuck said as he gestured to the female hedgehog. "And this is Slam the Hedgehog" He then said as he gestured to the male hedgehog
Sonic, Sally and Tails looked at the strangers. Tails on the other hand looked at the female hedgehog and smiled. "Hi Jack, i never thought to see you here" Tails greeted exited.
"Hey Tails" Colorado Jack greeted with a smile as she put her hat on. "It's good to see you again".
Sonic and Sally looked at each other in confusion. Then Sally spoke up.
"Oh, where are my manners" Sally said as she went over to the new hedgehogs. "On behalf of The Republic of Acorn, i officially welcome you to New Mobotropolis" Sally then said as she shook their hands.
"And you need no introduction, princess" Slam said as he bowed and kissed Sally's hand. "You are even more beautiful than i...
"Hey, back off!" Sonic said and shoved Slam away from Sally.
"Your just jealous cause you don't have my reputation" Slam smirked.
"Jealous? Moi? HAH!" Sonic Said. "you'd wish you had the reputation as Hero of New Mobotropolis, Like me" he said pointing to himself
"You'd better get used to the fact that when I'm around, I'll be the God of New Mobotropolis" Slam said as he crossed his arms and smirked at Sonic.
Sally and Colorado Jack rolled their eyes. Colorado Jack approached Sonic.
"Never mind my stupid brother Sonic" Colorado Jack said. "It's just Slam's ego getting the better of him".
"Yeah, he just don't have the guts to stand up to me" Sonic said.
Tails and T-Pup walked up to sonic.
"Comes from someone who doesn't have the guts to stand up to his own girlfriend, HAH!" Slam smirked. " What a hero"
A fight could easily break out between the two hedgehogs, that is until Sally stepped in between them.
"Ok enough the both of you!" Sally interrupted. "I'm sure you two are here on a serious matter" she said to Slam and Colorado Jack.
"Yeah but first" Sonic said before he Looked at Tails "How do you know her little bro?" he then asked as he gestured over to Colorado Jack.
"Well, it all happened while you were in space Sonic" Tails told Sonic.
"Can it wait Tails?" Sally asked. "I'd like to hear the story, but we have to hear what reason they are here for"
Tails was saddened for not being able to tell the story, he nodded his head at Sally who proceeded to speak with Slam and Colorado Jack.
"Now then" Sally Said as she clasped her hands together. "what are the reason you two are here?"
Slam and Colorado Jack both frowned at this. Colorado Jack then spoke. "You all are familiar with the little town of Westunda?"
Sally became pale. That's the exact same city she read about in the report this morning. Sally then pulled herself together and nodded.
"Yep" Tails nodded is head in response.
"What about it?" Sonic responded.
Chuck nodded his head.
"Is it about the mysterious disappearances?" Sally Suddenly asked.
Slam and Colorado Jack looked at each other surprised, Sonic, Tails and Uncle Chuck also looked surprised. Slam Crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow while he stared at Sally. "How do you know about this?"
Sally tensed as Slam looked at her. "I do know it happened under mysterious circumstances. And about who did it, we do not know anything about"
Sonic approached Sally. Sonic then wrapped an arm around her waist.
"And who told you about this?" Colorado Jack asked. "For all we know, Slam and i are the only ones who made it out of the town"
Sally cleared her throat before she answered. "We received a report from the Downunda Freedom Fighters after they discovered it this morning..."
"Oh! so they decided to show up while the show was getting good" Slam interrupted.
"HEY!" Sonic yelled at Slam. "Don't interrupt Sally while she's takling"
"And i still can't believe your feud with the Downunda FF's still gets to you" Colorado Jack added irritated.
"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry for interrupting princess" Slam Apologized.
"That's okay" Sally said, dismissing the subject. "Anyway Sir Charles?"
"Yes Sally?" Uncle chuck asked.
"Could you get my brother to assemble the council, i think they want to hear the whole story" Sally said.
"I'll get it done right away" Uncle Chuck said as he went out of the diner to assemble the council. While every one was still in the diner, the haddock Tails hid in his tails fell onto the floor. Tails immediately picked it up.
"Tails?" Sally asked Tails as he looked at her. "Where did you get that haddock from?"
"It was in the turbine of the Tornado" Tails answered. "I still have no idea it got in there"
"WAFF! WAFF" T-Pup barked happily.
"You have no idea T-Pup" Tails said. Slam looked between Tails and T-Pup.
"You actually understand that thing?!" Slam asked Tails as he pointed to T-Pup.
T-Pup Sneered at Slam before He attacked him. T-Pup tackled Slam on the floor, biting his leg and barking at him angrily. Sally and Tails was shocked while Sonic and Colorado Jack rolled onto the floor laughing hysterically. Tails then approached Slam and the angry, robotic dog before he tried to get his dog off Slam.
"T-Pup!" Tails said. "I think he's had enough.
"You think?!" Slam asked as Tails pulled T-Pup off him.
"Aahahaha! that was priceless" Sonic laughed after he got up on his feet. Sally approached Sonic and slapped the back of his head.
"Would you grow up Sonic" Sally scolded. "You know it's rude to laugh at other peoples misfortune".
"But it's still funny as hell" Sonic laughed before he regained himself.
"I couldn't agree more Sonic, Slam really had that coming for years" Colorado Jack laughed as Slam glared at sonic and his sister, he looked like he could tear sonic apart in a second. (But more of that later)
"Don't we have a meeting to get to?" Slam asked with a little anger and a frown that is similar an eight year old's.
"Oh yeah, we do" Sally remembered as she took Sonic's hand into hers.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Sonic asked excitingly.
"Probably Slam's prima-donna show to end" Colorado Jack said which earned a laugh from Sonic and Tails.
"Haha, very funny" Slam said sarcastically as he got up on his feet before he went with the group.
The whole group left the diner for the meeting with the council so Slam and Colorado Jack could explain the situation to the councilors.
...
Inside the Acorn council room in Castle Acorn 12:55 PM
Once Sonic, Sally, Tails, Colorado Jack and Slam entered the council room, they saw Sally's brother, King Elias Acorn. Tails' mother Rosemary Prower. Sonic's uncle, Sir Charles Hedgehog. Mina Mongoose's Mother, Isabella Mongoose. Dylan the porcupine, Penelope the Platypus and Hamlin the Pig. Bunnie, Amy, Antoine and Rotor were also present. King Elias then proceeded to open the meeting.
"The meeting about the mysterious disappearances in Westunda is now in session!" Elias declared.
"Can you two tell us exactly what happened?" Rosemary asked Slam and Colorado Jack.
Colorado Jack then approached the council before she spoke. "Sure we can Councillor Rosemary" Colorado Jack answered.
Slam then walked up to his sister who had tears in her eyes. "The story we are about to tell you contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by yours truly. So do not try anything you hear at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up" Slam told the 'audience'.
Flashback.
3rd person.
The town of Westunda is nothing much, except it is unique in one particular way. It is one of the few places on Mobius where Mobians and Overlanders could live together in harmony. The town itself resembled a wild west town you would typically find in a western movie. In the late afternoon we find a brown Hedgehog pulling a large crate. He approached a white female koala at the local air-strip with black ears and blue eyes. She was wearing red boots and gloves. The Koala was non other than Barby Koala.
"Still trying to impress me Slam?" Barby asked with a smirk.
"Not really" Slam responded as he kept pulling the heavy crate. "Just delivering your supplies".
"That crate must be heavy" Barby said.
"The crate only weighs 365 Ibs". Slam said with a shrug.
"350 Ibs!" Barby asked in shock and Slam nodded "Phew.. Talk about heavy lifting".
"About the crates" Slam said which got Barby's attention. "That will be 60 Mobiums" He then said after he had helped her get the crate onto the Jeep.
"Here ya' go" Barby said as she handed him the money. "That should do it".
"Alrighty then. I'll see you around" Slam said as he walked off. Just before he left, Barby had grabbed his arm and made him turn around to look at her.
"Wait! What about your feud with Walt? Barby asked Slam which made look down with a frown. Slam and Walt have not been on best terms lately, cause' Slam believed Walt owed him money for a deal they made sometime ago. Slam then looked back at her and sighed.
"Like i said Barby. what's between me and Walt is, well between me and Walt" Slam stated which made her frown.
"I know Slam" Barby said. "But can't you at least talk to him, maybe you will come to an agreement?".
"I don't know Barby" Slam answered as he rubbed the back of his head. Barby then approached Slam. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. Slam blushed deep red.
"Please, do it for me?" Barby asked as she released Slam.
"Alright, I'll think about it" Slam answered. "Look, i better get going".
"Yeah me too" Barby said. "Say hi to CJ (Colorado Jack) for me".
"I will and good luck with your freedom fighting" Slam said as he turned to leave.
"Thanks" Barby said as she turned on the jeep and headed back to her group.
At the evening in Slam and Colorado jack's cabin we find Colorado jack sitting at her desk in their living room researching a book about ancient artifacts. suddenly Slam opened the door and entered the cabin and lay down on the couch, exhausted.
"Boy you look tired" Colorado Jack said as she turned her head and looked at her brother.
"You could say that" Slam said as he closed his eyes. "That's what you get when you have to drag all of Wes Weasly's cargo to his costumers".
"You know, you don't have to work for him, Slam" Colorado Jack Told him. "You have the strength, the will to keep going and the potential to become a freedom fighter".
"And what about you, Jack?" Slam asked with one eye open. "Independent treasure hunters like you don't get much for a living if you don't make profit on anything you recover"
"That's because those artifacts i find does not belong to me" Colorado Jack said. "They belong to all people of Mobius to share".
"You mean a dusty old museum". Slam retorted with a smile.
"Yes! That's what i meant" Colorado Jack retorted with a yell.
"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry" Slam apologized. they both went into silence. Suddenly an idea went into Slam's head.
"Jack, I'm afraid i have been thinking" Slam admitted.
"that's a dangerous pastime for you, Slam" Colorado Jack said"
"I know" Slam said. "but the wheels in my head have been turning, you see why don't we take a short break?"
Colorado Jack dropped her book and became wide eyed at her brothers suggestion. "Why should we take a break so suddenly?" Colorado Jack asked.
"Because i think it would be good for us to relieve the stress we have carried over the last few weeks" Slam explained. "Plus, you need to get your head out of those books and pay attention to more important things in life".
"And what might that be?" Colorado Jack asked.
"Like, enjoying your life and just kick back and relax" Slam explained. "So... Any suggestions on where we should go?" he then asked.
Colorado Jack then took a photography of her and Tails that was standing on her desk. Tails and her were smiling on the picture which was taken in front of the tornado. A smile was forming on her face as an idea went into her head.
"How about we visit Tails and his friend in New Mobotropolis?" Colorado Jack suggested.
"Whatever floats your boat Jack" Slam shrugged. "I've always wanted to meet Sonic".
"Then it's official" Colorado Jack stated. "We'll leave for New Mobotropolis tomorrow morning".
Later that evening, they started to pack everything they needed on their trip, and after that they had dinner. After they had eaten, they got ready to go to bed then suddenly they heard some screams coming from the town.
"Did you hear that?" Slam asked.
"Yeah" Colorado Jack answered. "It sounds like the noise is coming from town".
They both went out onto their porch, and what they saw was terrifying. They saw a black Scorpion-Bot with bright yellow eye's with a scorpion-tail which it used to vaporize it's victims and it also have a scorpion-mouth which it used to grab people with. One thing they noticed is that the Scorpion-Bot have three golden rings on each of it's legs.
"What the hell is that?!" Colorado Jack asked.
"I don't know but it sure is ugly" Slam answered.
"You wont say that after I'm done with you faker" a voice came.
Both Slam and Colorado Jack turned to their right and saw a green hedgehog wearing a black leather jacket, green sneakers and red sunglasses.
"Who are you?" Slam asked.
