(Inside the hangar of the Great Fox, I'm on the phone with Smoke, who apologized for what he said in his letter while Fox and Falco are with me)

Me: So you're saying I can beat Frieza?

Smoke: (Over the phone) I'm not just saying that you can beat Frieza; I'm saying that you must beat him. I was quite a jerk when I wrote that letter.

Me: Hey, if anyone's a jerk, it's me. I should've listened to you when I read the letter, but the importance of the mission got the best of me.

Smoke: Hey, no need to apologize, man. Besides, it was stupid of me to write that letter.

Me: And it was stupid of me to disregard it.

ROB: (From the bridge) Two life forms approaching at high speed.

Me: I better get going. My new friends are on their way.

Smoke: Alright. Be careful out there.

Me: Will do. (I hang up) Fox, Falco, I'll notify the others that they arrived.

Fox: Right.

Falco: Good idea.

(I leave to tell the others of Goku and Vegeta's arrival)


Sonic Heroes of Enchancia

Chapter 10: In Need of a Strategy

After slipping away from Knuckles and Cobalt outside Enchancia Castle, Rouge is now flying through the skies. As she is flying, she spots something in a field not too far from a nearby town. She noticed it was a robot, standing motionless. She landed in the field and looked at the robot. When she noticed the omega symbol on the front of its left shoulder, the treasure hunting G.U.N. agent recognized the robot almost immediately.

"Wait a second…Omega's here as well?" Rouge asked herself as she booted up the robot. Omega looked at Rouge. After a brief stare down, the robot spoke.

"Rouge the Bat." Omega greeted.

"Hmm… If Omega's here, then there's a good chance Shadow's here also." Rouge deduced before facing Omega. "Omega, do you have any data on this world we are in now?"

"Affirmative." Omega complied. "The world we are currently in is known as Enchancia. Its current rulers are King Roland the Second, Queen Miranda, and their three children, Prince James, Princess Amber and Princess Sofia."

"That's quite the regal family." Rouge mused. "Does any of the royal family have any guardians?"

"Data verifies that Princess Sofia is currently a member of their current protectors, the Scarlet Army, a group of warriors and fighters from numerous different worlds, led by Queen Scarlett Katherine Felchenerow, current sovereign of the kingdom of Cinnibar, who is also known by the moniker, the Scarlet Warrior." Omega explained. Rouge thought about how a young princess can be a member of an inter-realm army.

"Well, once we find Shadow, we're heading to Cinnibar to have a chat with this Queen Scarlett." Rouge suggested as she took off into the air, Omega following shortly after. Unbeknownst to the two members of Team Dark, a Motobug was watching from the shadows within the woods and after watching everything, rolled off back to where it was sent from.


Meanwhile, at Enchancia Castle, Team Heroes, Amy, Cobalt and Emerald have informed the royal family of Scarlett's capture by Miss Nettle. Miranda was in complete shock when she heard the news. As for Cream and Cheese, they were taken to the guest room for their safety.

"Oh my! How can Miss Nettle go this far as to capture Scarlett?" Queen Miranda solemnly asked.

"My guess is that she captured Scarlett to get to Sofia. If I know Nettle, she must want Sofia's amulet to gain power." Emerald said.

"The only problem is the powers of the Amulet of Avalor only work when they're used by a person with a pure heart. Nettle's heart and Eggman's heart are flooded with evil." Cobalt added. "Also, Scarlett had already enchanted it so that only Sofia can remove it."

"And until we rescue Scarlett, protecting Sofia and the Amulet of Avalor has just become our priority." Sonic told them. "Your majesty, please give us permission to protect Sofia on Scarlett's behalf." King Roland looked to his wife, who nods in response.

"Permission granted, Sonic." King Roland told him, granting Sonic's permission.

"Thank you, Roland. You have my word." Sonic thanked. They exit the castle and meet with some of the Scarlet Army members. Among them are Cole, Kratos, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Bayonetta, Ezio, Elsa, Anna, Dante, Korra and Agent 47.

"I take it you know about Scarlett's capture?" Sonic asked.

"Yes. Scarlett is our trusted leader. We have trusted her as much as she trusted us." Kratos said.

"Anyone who messes with our leader will have to deal with us!" Cole shouted, pounding his right fist into his left palm.

Sonic smiled, but that was short-lived when he sensed Sofia coming. Amy and Team Heroes turned around to face her. She had a face that would strike fear into Dr. Eggman and Miss Nettle.

"I assume you want to save Scarlett as well, right?" Emerald deduced, to which Sofia confidently nods.

"Yeah, I remember Scarlett saying earlier that she's your mentor." Sonic spoke up.

"She's not just my mentor; she's my friend. And no one messes with my friends!" Sofia said with determination and vigor. Sonic smiled upon hearing her words. He then turned to the Scarlet Army members.

"Alright, if we're going to save Scarlett, we need to find the rest of my friends." Sonic told them.

"And where will we find them, hedgehog?" Kratos asked with concern.

"Who knows? The rest of my friends could be anywhere when we came here." Sonic shrugged his shoulders. Then, before anyone has the chance to think, a dove with a scroll securely tied around its neck flew down and approached Sofia.

"What is it?" Sofia asked the dove, with the bird showing the scroll tied around its neck. It then whispers in her ear. Team Heroes and Amy have no clue as to what the dove is saying.

"Uh… Any of you guys have any idea what that bird's saying?" Knuckles asked.

"Sorry, Knuckles, but the only one that can is Sofia. As long as she's wearing the Amulet of Avalor, she can talk to animals." Sonic informed the Angel Island guardian.

"I wish I could talk to animals." Amy sighed as the dove flew away. Sofia opened the scroll and started reading its contents.

"Well, what did it say?" Tails asked her. She looked up when she finished.

"It's a letter from my friend Lani." Sofia told them.

"Let me guess; is she a princess like you?" Knuckles asked.

"Yes, Lani is the princess of the island kingdom of Hakalo and she sent me a message saying she found a white hedgehog and a purple cat washed up on shore." Sofia told the Mobians. They thought about the description of the two animals that were washed up on the shores of Hakalo. After a good moment, a memory sparks within Sonic.

"I think I remember who those two are." Sonic spoke up.

"You do?" Ezio asked, to which Sonic nods in reply.

"Their names are Silver and Blaze. Silver's a hedgehog from the future with the power of psychokinesis and Blaze is a princess from a dimension that is different from ours. Despite my first encounters with them being somewhat unpleasant, they're both good friends of mine." Sonic explained.

"So it's settled then." Dante said. "Next stop: Hakalo."

"But there's just one problem: how in the heck do we get to Hakalo?" Sonic asked. "I remember Sofia stating that Hakalo is an island kingdom and the last time I checked, I can't swim!"

"Well, it's a good thing we don't have to. There's a ship that can take us there." Sofia assured the Blue Blur. "Follow me." She starts leading them to the docks, where the ship leading to Hakalo is located, unaware that a Buzz Bomber was watching them from above. It flies away, possibly back to Eggman and Nettle's hidden base.


(In the Great Fox briefing room, we explain to Goku and Vegeta about Frieza's plan)

Vegeta: So you're saying that Frieza has kidnapped some people, four of which are called Signers and he's planning to call forth this Crimson Dragon to claim its power for himself?

Me: Yes, and he's taking them to Planet Venom. I don't know what he has there or the reason why, but knowing Frieza, it cannot be good. But I know that you two can beat him, considering your history with that tyrant. (I notice Vegeta turn away from me) Is something wrong with him?

Goku: Don't get me wrong, but before his planet was destroyed, he and his people served under Frieza until out of his fear of a Super Saiyan being born among them, he betrayed them and wiped out the entire planet in one blast. He and I are among the only ones left.

Vegeta: Don't bother telling that story to that Earthling, Kakarot. He's not worth your time. (Walks away)

Krystal: Um, excuse me for asking, but why did he call you "Kakarot"?

Goku: It was actually my birth name. Thankfully, I didn't have it for long. When my parents sent me to Earth, a wise old man found me, raised me and gave me a new name.

Me: I see. (I turn to the Star Fox Team) Alright, guys. We're ready to go to Venom.

Fox: (Into his wrist-com) ROB, set a course for Venom.

ROB: (From the bridge) Affirmative. Estimated time of arrival: 6.2 hours.

Me: 6.2 hours, huh? Seems like a fair enough wait time. Well, time for me to get to work. You readers may rate/review/fav. Archer out!
