Chapter 4: an evil deal

Day 1 after SET (SET= Sonics Empire Takeover)

Nicole was in utter shock seeing the Egg Fleet heading towards the city, "The Egg Fleet, but I thought Knuckles destroyed it when he was Enerjak!", Sonic then started laughing again and said "ha, ha, ha yes, Knuckles may of destroyed that Fleet, but I found this one still under construction Fleet hidden under the ruined Robotropolis Airport, there not as many ships as the first one but there still just as powerful and I renamed it, the Sonic Fleet!", Nicole was about to disappear to warn the others when Sonic stopped her, "Wait!, before you go Nicole I have something to say", Nicole stopped and looked at him with a questionable look, "what?" Sonic then smiled evilly and was about to press on more button on the device and said "welcome to the Empire!" Nicole's eyes widened in fear as she saw Sonic pressed one last button.

Back in the dome covered city of New Mobotropolis

The Royal Acorn guards, GUN soldiers, the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix were waiting for the doors to be blown apart while the citizens hid in buildings or behind bushes, when Nicole appeared next to Sally, everyone turned to her and they saw she wasn't too happy, Sally was first to speak "Nicole, what happened?", Nicole sighed and said "I'm afraid we have a bigger problem", the dome over the city then opened and everyone in the city gasped as they saw the Egg Fleet above them, "the Egg Fleet? But knuckles you destroyed them when you were Enerjak, didn't you?" said Charmy to Knuckles, everyone turned their attention back to Nicole and Sally asked "Nicole?" Nicole sighed and said "turns out Eggman was building a new Egg Fleet until Sonic discovered it. There aren't a lot of ships compared to the first fleet but it's just as dangerous and Sonic has renamed it the Sonic Fleet", everyone started whimpering except the ones who were going to defend the City, Elias turned to Nicole and said "Nicole, get the dome back up, it might be able to hold off the Sonic Fleet attack", Nicole just sighed and said "I'm sorry your majesty, but Lord Sonic has taken my mind and conciseness and has removed me from the city's main frame. I don't control the city anymore", everyone turned to Nicole with fearful looks on their faces and then Sally said "Nicole, why did you call Sonic, 'Lord Sonic'?", then Nicole's image change, instead of wearing her usual Chinese gown she wore, it was replaced by a short light purple Eggman jacket, white gloves that went from her hands to her elbows and black Eggman trousers with black sandals. Everyone backed away in fear, while the civilians went and hid again, Sally shock her head a bit and said "no, no, not again, Nicole how could you let this happen, first the Iron Domination, now Sonic!", Nicole just smirked and said "I don't control the city anymore remember, and besides you have bigger things to worry about than me", Antoine then went in front of Nicole and said "like wha…" BOOM, before he could finish everyone turned to the front doors to the city and saw that they were blown apart and egg pawns, egg fighters and dark legionaries poured into the city and outnumbered everyone, Elias gritted his teeth and shouted "EVERYONE, ATTAC…", "I wouldn't do that if I was you", a few dark legionaries stood opposite sides making a walk way to revile the one who interrupted Elias's command, Sonic. Elias said with a non-happy look and tone "why shouldn't I?" Sonic just chuckled evilly and said "perhaps you forgotten your situation", he then looked up as did everyone else and then everyone remembered the Sonic fleet was just above them, everyone turned their attention back to Sonic who was smirking evilly, "you see Elias if you do attack me and my forces, my fleet will reduce this city to ashes in seconds", Elias frowned turning his head away in defeat, everyone was about to give up until Sonic said "however I think there's a way of making sure your city stays safe", everyone including Sonic's troops looked at him confused, Sonic smiled evilly at this and said "here's the deal, starting today I will come back to Mobotropolis every week, and when I do I will take 2 people with me to be part of my empire, if 2 people wish to come with me I will spare the city", Hamlet then asked "and if nobody choses to go with you?", Sonic then clicked his fingers and a lazer blast was fired from the Sonic fleet and missed Hamlet's foot by inches and causing him to fall backwards in fear. Sonic smirk and said "if nobody does I will reduce this city to rubble", everyone in the city minus Sonic and his troops had the same emotion, fear, Sonic then walked a bit closer to the crowd and asked "so who's coming today?", the crowd was silent as Sonic walked the group wondering who to choose when Sally stepped forward in front of Sonic and said "if it means protecting the city… I'll go!" Sonic smiled evilly at this, Elias on the other hand pushed his way through the crowd and grabbed Sally's shoulder, "Sally you don't have to do this", Sally looked back with pain in her eyes and removed Elias hand from her shoulder "Elias this is the only way the city will stay safe, I have to do this", Elias was going to trying to think of something to make her change her mind but couldn't so he nodded his head in approval. Sally smiled and then stood by Sonic who took her hand and turned his attention from her to the crowd, "ok that's one, just one more and then me and my empire will be leaving… for now" everyone remained silent and scared, while Amy was thinking why Sally had decided to join Sonic, she knew that she did it to protect the city but she was thinking of other reasons she would join 'ok, protecting the city is one thing but what else, wait is she joining Sonic to get close to Sonic' she thought for a minute and then it hit her 'of course, she knows since Sonic is going to be like this, she would join him and become his queen, well Sally guess what, if you think you're going to steal him away from me that easy…' she went through the crowd with an angry look on her face and stood in front of Sonic, "where do I sign up" 'think again'. Sonic smiled evilly and thought 'both of the women of my dreams joining my empire, this is too good to be true!', Sally on the other hand was shocked and thought to herself 'Ok either Amy is doing this to protect the city or because she thinks I'm stealing Sonic', she thought for a moment and decided 'It's probably the second one', Sonic then took Amy's hand and she stood next to him, Sonic then turned to the crowd and then his troops, getting their attention and said "MEN, tell the Sonic fleet to head back to the Sonic Dome, we're done here" and with that the troops headed towards the door and the fleet started turning around, Sonic then turned to Nicole, who was watching everything and said "come Nicole it's time to leave" Nicole bowed and said "yes, my lord" and with that she disappeared into Sonic's device which was on his waist cape strap, he then looked at Sally and Amy and said "come, we'll take my transport" then he took them outside the city and went into a, clone trooper like, transport and it took off towards Robotroplis. Afterwards with everyone still scared, Elias, who was angry about Sally joining Sonic, turned to the president and said "prepare all the forces you have, ready every ship you have we must defend Mobotropolis from Sonic and prepare to launch an assault on Robotroplis", the president nodded and left in his transport with the GUN commander, Team dark and the GUN soldiers, Elias then turned to the freedom fighters and said "contacted every freedom fighter out there and tell them to come and defend Mobotropolis immediately", Sonic's uncle Chuck stood next to Elias and said "it's going to take more than a few troops and freedom fighters to stop Sonic", Elias then turned to Chuck and said "well, do you know anybody that can help?", Chuck sighed and shock his head, when Tails shout "WAIT!" everyone turned to Tails and he said "I know someone that can help".
