If anybody's reading this fanfic, review please. Oh yeah, and since there was a bit of a delay in putting up this chapter, I'll only put in the important parts.

Chapter 8: Invasion

A couple of more weeks went by. Sonic and his siblings still couldn't find the meaning of the notes their mother left behind. Plus, Tails was deep in thought of his past love life. After hours of considering, Tails brought Cosmo into his workshop.

"Why did you bring me here, Tails?" Cosmo asked.

"Cosmo, there's something I have to show you that I should've shown you a long time ago." Tails began. But before he could continue, Antoine opened the door frantically.

"Zee Supresion Squad! Zey're 'ere!" Antoine shouted, then hurried on to the next house to warn.

Scourge and the others rode their motorcycles throughout Mobotropolis, quickly vandalising any building they passed.

"This is sweet! We'll soon get that jackpot of powers AND break stuff along the way!" hooted Miles.

"Less talking, more breaking!" ordered Scourge. "The sooner we get to our destination, the better!"

"Not so fast!" shouted Sonic as he zipped by the Supresion Squad and burned their tires.

"You think that'll stop us? Ha! We're already at our destination!" Alicia laughed, pointing at the Chaotix Detective Agency HQ.

"Wait, why do you have to go in there?" Sonic asked, confused.

"Sheesh, you're dense!" Scourge taunted. "But no time to explain! We're already behind schedule!" He and the others broke into the building, laughing.

Sonic told the other Freedom Fighters about what was going on, then they headed into the HQ.

Vector the crocodile was shocked at the Supression Squad looking into every file cabinet. "Take whatever you want! Just don't find the secret file with all my money!" he pleaded.

"Too late!" Fiona said, holding up a file drawer full of of money.

Charmy looked around the room. "Wow! You didn't tell me we were having a party today!" Charmy exclaimed happily.

"This is NOT a party! We're under attack!" Espio corrected angrily.

"So why are all these people here?" Charmy asked.

"We're 'ere becuz vous are 'iding zee teleportar plant 'ere!" Patch explained.

"You dolt! You're not supposed to tell him about us suspecting that they might be keeping Cosmo or the plant here!" Miles yelled, not realizing his own irony.

Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, Antione, Rotor, Amy, Tails, and Cosmo hurried into the building. "Let them go!" Sally demanded.

"Ok. We surrender!" Scourge answered. Then with a wicked grin he added, "To them, at least!" He and the others charged at their good forms and fought them.

To make it short, Scourge and the others defeated all the Freedom Fighters except for Tails. He in fact sneaked by the battle with Cosmo and hurried to another room.

"Come on, Cosmo! The exit's somewhere!" Tails said. He turned another corner only to bump into Fiona Fox.

"So, you STILL can't resist me?" Fiona chuckled. "It figures. You just won't get over the fact that I'm with Scourge and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Instead of stuttering, Tails calmly responded, "Actually, you're partially right. There's nothing I can do about it. And you were right that just because we look 'cute' together doesn't mean it will work out. For example, just because Knuckles and Rouge look 'cute' together doesn't mean that it's right. Everyone knows that Shadow and Rouge are in love, likewise with Knuckles and Julie-Su." He stepped over to Cosmo's side and continued, "However, you were wrong in the fact that I wouldn't get over it. Because I have."

"Oh, blah blah. Spare me the drama." Fiona groaned.

Tails went on, "No! I will not! Because I know now what I should've known before! That when it's between you and Cosmo... I choose Cosmo!" Cosmo gasped and smiled slightly at this. Tails continued, "Besides, I actually think you and Scourge make a great couple!"

"Yes, yes..." Fiona sighed dreamily. Then she grinned evilly, "Too bad we're EVIL!" She pushed a random button and a cage fell on top of Tails and Cosmo. "Now, I wonder what romantic dinner is for Scourge and I? How about Kitsune and Alien Plant Pancakes!"

"Better save some for Miles!" said Miles, who appeared in the hallway. "I want mine with whipped cream!"

"Uh, sure. I don't think so." Fiona said.

"Aww." Miles sighed sadly as he walked away with his fork and knife.

Tails looked up and saw the top side of the cage slowly coming down. "You wouldn't!" he gasped.

"I WOULD." Fiona smirked. "Well, no time to continue monologuing. I have to go tell Scourge that the moment is about to come!" Then she left.

Tails glanced around the cage quickly, then thought of a plan. To Cosmo, he told her, "Help me push the cage over!" Together, they pushed against the cage and managed to knock it over, and got out through the door on the bottom. "Come on! We have to rescue Sonic and the others!"

They found Sonic and the Freedom Fighters unconcious, and they woke them up.

Just then, Scourge and his gang ran by them, with Scourge saying, "No point staying here any longer, the bomb we just planted is going to explode in about 30 seconds. Bye-bye!"

"30 seconds?!" gasped Amy.

"Let's get outta here!" Sonic told the others. They all began to race to the exit. Unfortunately, Scourge had already blocked it after he and his gang made their escape. "Now what?" Sonic groaned.

Vector spoke up, "We could always try the back exit!" So they hurried back the way they came and eventually found another door that hadn't been blocked. But they only had about 10 more seconds.

Sonic was the first one out. "Hurry!" he called inside to the others. The rest ran out and kept running far away from the building. Sonic stay behind to make a quick check to see if everyone made it out. Then he saw that Amy was still inside and had tripped. "Amy!" Sonic ran back in. He picked up Amy and heard an explosion. Looking down the hall, he suddenly saw a colomn of fire and broken pieces of metal heading rapidly towards them. Sonic gasped and wasted no more time in dashing back to the exit. He had just made it out the door when the rest of the building exploded. The force sent him and Amy flying through the air, but luckily Sonic caught Amy and landed on his feet, not far from where the others were waiting.

Everyone else sighed in relief. Except for the Chaotix, who were sad that their headquarters got destroyed.

"Amy, you ok?" Sonic asked when he saw that Amy was still huddled against him.

Amy opened her eyes and looked up. "Oh. Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I was just a little scared, that's all. But I'm much better now." She smiled at him brightly. "Yes, much better now that I'm with you." She instantly wrapped her arms around Sonic and kissed him quite passionately.

Sonic was taken by surprise and he wasn't sure what to do. He was pretty much stunned.

Amy stopped and sighed happily. "Thank you for saving my life, Sonic."

"Um...you're welcome..." Sonic didn't want to tell Amy off for kissing him, but then he saw the look on Sally's face and he felt his heart sink.

Sally was in tears.

Wow, wasn't that sad? Anyway, sorry for the 'long wait'. I'll be quicker tomorrow.
