"Think about it..." Ericka said "You're an attractive girl on a sexist island where girls are rewarded for being sexy..."
"What? You mean I should take my top off?"
"If it helps..."
Rouge sighed angrily under her breath. In the meantime, Sonic, Amy, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Ericka ran far from the melee and dashed towards the volcano.
"This HAS to be the work of Bowser, why didn't I think of it before?" Sonic said suddenly.
"Of course!" Tails realized "The koopa robots!"
"Hey! The entrance is over here" Ericka said.
She slid a stone in the volcano and suddenly revealed a large chamber. When the gang entered the chamber they were suddenly hit with a burst of extreme heat.
"Whew" Amy said "Sometimes it's good to dress light..."
Suddenly a big booming voice arose over the Sonic gang and the whole chasm began to shake. The stony floors vibrated and the ceilings rattled as a huge platform rose out of the ground, making a small pool of molten lava beneath. The Sonic gang watched in awe as 2 mysterious figures took to this pedestal, but they weren't Bowser... they were...
MARIO AND LUIGI!
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Luigi chuckled.
"What? But-but-but... this doesn't make any sense..." Tails said.
"But it does to US!" Mario said, with his trademark italian accent "See, we got tired of saving da princess, so we hijacked Bowser's koopa copter and stole some of his koopa bots..."
"We THEN send da koopas out to ALL the world to capture the prettiest young ladies they can find..." Luigi continued.
"But why?" Ericka asked.
"Because..." Luigi said "WE want the entire girl population to ourselves and the girls in THIS video game universe are a LOT hotter than in ours!"
"But, why the brainwashing, why the imprisonment? Why??" Ericka asked, now about to cry.
"It is for your own good, you silly girlies!" Luigi said.
"But why? Why do you make us work in the hard sun all the time?"
"Ah! She has stumbled onto another part of this plan..." Mario said suddenly putting his white-gloved hand onto a console. Just then a huge sattelite launched from the volcano.
"This NEW device will send out a frequency that targets the females all over da world!" Luigi explained "And it will teleport them all here so they'll be ours forever! We just needed you ladies to dig up the chaos emerald shards needed to power it!"
Ericka backed off in fear. She had wanted to stop the 2 but didnt know what she could do. It would only be a matter of seconds before their diabolical device fired off.
"Wait a sec, emerald SHARDS?" Knuckles asked
"Ah but yes!" Luigi replied.
"But the shards are too unstable to power a machine that big!" Knuckles warned "The unstablility could cause a catastrophic meltdown or worse..."
"HA HA HA HA!" Mario laughed gleefully "It is too LATE! For soon the girls all over the world will be ours!"
"I have already been thinking of de new nicknames for dem too" Luigi added.
Ericka cringed. She couldn't let girls like her be captured and controlled by the crazed Mario bros. She normally discouraged the degradation of girls but she knew she had only one chance to give her friends a chance to stop the madness.
"Hey Mario bros!" she said, tearing off her makeshift bra "Take a look at THIS!"
"Mama mia!" the 2 bros said in glee.
"GO!" Ericka said, waving her friends off. Shadow stood there, only able to stare at the young girl's breasts until Sonic pulled him along.
"We need to stop that machine!" Sonic said.
"But what can we do?" Amy asked, feeling the whole area rumble.
"Knuckles said the machine was unstable..." Sonic said "If I could just knock something loose in it we could blow this volcano up and get out of here..."
"Right!" Tails said "I got the Tornado outside on autopilot!"
"But what about Ericka?" Amy asked.
"She can catch up later!" Knuckles said, "just hurry up and do something Sonic"
"Right" he said "I only have one chance at this!"
Sonic jumped into the air and spun into a spiny ball as he richocheted into Mario and Luigi's machine. Mario, and Luigi, still dazed at the sight of Ericka's boobs were completely unaware until the ground around them started shaking.
"Good job, guys!" Ericka said, throwing her top back on.
"ERICKA!" Shadow shouted "The place is gonna blow, we gotta get out of here!"
"I dont think so!" Luigi growled, zapping Ericka with his thunder hands, paralyzing her.
"We can still teleport back to OUR world!" Mario said gleefully.
"And THERE, this Ericka girl can be our sex slave!"
"NOOO! HELP ME!" Ericka squealed, as her muscles all locked and her joints became numbed. Shadow jumped off the top platform and nailed Luigi, but Ericka still knelt in pain, completely paralyzed from the blast.
"ERICKA!" Shadow shouted "Get out of there!"
"I...can't move..." she replied, her body simply trembling but not budging from her current spot. Shadow leapt forward off the platform and put his arm around her, dashing out of the volcano.
"Let's go!" Tails shouted.
Outside, the satellite sparked and began firing off laser beams like crazy. It looked like they hadn't disabled the beam after all... it was still going off but it didn't seem to have the same effect.
"It's not doing anything" Sonic said, noticing girls weren't being transported there.
"Let's just go!" Amy said.
"Im still detecting high seismic readings!" Tails warned "This volcano is going to blow"
The plane takes off just as a red flash of energy passes before their eyes. The tornado swoops out of the way as a red wave of electricity passes them by. The red wave soon catches up though as it seems to glide over the entire world at the same time. Suddenly the plane too is devoured and there is an odd flash that hits the plane before full vision returns to everyone on the plane.
"Uh...guys?" Sonic said, his voice now sounding far more feminine. "I think we have a problem..."
