King Scourge Saga Episode 1: Uninvited Alternate Guest

One day in Freedom Fighters HQ, outside of New Mobotropolis, Tails, Rotor, Sonia, and Manic have been working on a brand new project called the Star Posts. In theory, the Star Post is supposed to allow those to walk into different Zones. The star posts are twin gold star-emblazoned posts. They've been working on it for a while now. But on this day, Tails notices that the Star Post has done something strange and calls Rotor, Sonia, and Manic over.

"Thanks for coming over to look at the Star Post, guys. They'd turn on by themselves?" Tails says, confused.

"Sorry Tails, but you've got me. They're supposed to only cross dimensions that we know of like the Void and the place called the special Zone," Rotor says.

"I agree. Even I don't know why they turn it on by themselves. It's very strange," Sonia says.

"But that doesn't explain why they're all on now sis," Manic says.

Suddenly, someone says, "Oh, we're plenty special…"

The group become startled to hear the voice, but suddenly hit with some strange ring rings, feel like some kind of powerful sound wave. They all fall down to the ground with a loud thud. When they look to see who it is. They are shocked to see Rotor, but has mechanical armor on his arms and a cybernetic helmet and eye over his left.

"R-Rotor?" Manic asks, shocked.

"No. I'm willing to be you're the Anti-Rotor from that reserved dimension Sonic and Eve told us about," Sonia deduces.

"But what?" Rotor about to question.

But Anti-Rotor says, "It's Boomer now, wusses. That your 'shadow' is outshining you."

Anti-Rotor calling himself Boomer grabs Rotor and lifts him up.

Tails hurries to him, "You leave him alone!"

Suddenly, someone else comes out of the Star Post and rams into Tails. Then his foot on his chest. When Tails looks up, he gasps in shock to see himself, but with a vicious glare. He has black hair and wears a black and red shirt with red shoes.

"Anti-Tails!" Tails says, shocked

But his evil counterpart angrily says, "Don't you call me that! You may lack self-respect, but I answer only by miles!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice says, "Nice work, boys."

"Thank you… Princess Alicia…" Miles says.

The group look and are shocked to see the Anti-Sally, Anti- Antoine, but Anti-Sally is called by a different name.

Alicia turns to Anti-Antoine, "Patch, if you'd be so kind as to inform her, that the area is secured…"

Anti-Antoine, now by Patch, holds his hand out, "Madam?"

"Yes. I heard…" A familiar, yet monotone voice says.

A black hand with a red stripe on the middle finder and wears a white fingerless glove sticks her hand out and Patch takes it. Then the being comes out of the portal. Seeing who is coming out, Tails, Rotor, Sonia, and Manic are stunned to see who it is.

This member of the Suppression Squad is a familiar female black and red hedgehog with red eyes and dreadlocks on the side and quills at the back and has a white crescent on her chest. She is wearing a black tank top with black pants with red and blue markings on them. She is wearing gold rings on her wrists and feet and they're covered with strange glowing gems. She is also weathering a sleeveless leather jacket, and has a blue scarf around her neck, and black leather short heel boots. She is also holding a scythe: a black staff with red, gray, and slightly gold marking with a silver curve blade.

What really shocked them, is that this member of the Suppression Squad looks exactly like…

"Eve?!" The four Freedom Fighters say, shocked and looking a bit pale.

In a monotone voice, the member resembles Eve says, "And I do suggest you watch your tone, Princess Alicia.

Then says, "Okay Suppression Squad, press forward!"

Meanwhile, at Eggman's new Secret base that is called New Megaoplis, The Chaotix are fighting against the Dark Egg Legion. Vector, Espio, Mighty, and Julie-Su are attacking the Legionnaires.

Press forward, Chaotix! We got 'em on the run!" Vector calls out.

Meanwhile, Sonic along with Eve, Jazz, Fiona, Nic, and Knuckles are hiding behind the debris. They see that the Chaotix seem to have everything handled.

"Already? Serious, did you guys even need us for this one? The New Dark Egg Legion is a joke," Sonic says.

"Sonic, this isn't a time for your jokes," Eve says.

Fiona turns to see Knuckles and asks, "Hey Knuckles, you feeling okay?"

"I… I feel responsible for them, so no, I'm not okay," Knuckles says.

"Oh, don't start this again…" Sonic says.

"Yeah. None of this is your fault," Nic says.

Fiona looks forward and shouts, "Incoming Legionnaire!"

The group see the Legionaries and they fire their guns at them. The group quickly moved out of the way.

Still upset, Knuckles says, "It was my actions as Enerjak that forced them to make an alliance with Dr. Eggman."

Sonic jumps over the Legionnaire as Eve uses her Chaos Arrow to shoot at their weapons.

Eve turns to Knuckles, "But Knuckles, Finitevius has you under a spell, and has you under his control. And was trying to do the same to me.

Sonic lands on the ground, "And you didn't make them sell themselves out. They chose to do that."

Knuckles jumps up and punches the Legionnaires off their hovercrafts, "But I took their cybernetics away and they've almost all that is left of my people. I have to try to help them."

"And how do you plan on doing that," Nic asks. Then uses her blaster to blast the weapons.

"I need to get to their leader!" Knuckles says.

Eve steps forward, "I'll back you up."

"Thanks! Everyone else, cover me!" Knuckles says.

"Gotcha! Mighty…! Back us up!" Sonic calls out.

Mighty hears him and begins to help Sonic out. Knuckles and Eve hurry on forward to find the leader of their Legion.

Back at Freedom HQ, the Suppression Squad along with Eve's look alike are taking Freedom HQ over.

Alicia brings out her gun, "Cover me, Patch! There are more Freedom Fighters out there!"

Patch walks out with his sword, "Ma princess, you worry too much. There arbutus are no real threat."

Suddenly, a hammer is slammed to the wall right next to him, causing him to scream, "Mon dieu!"

Amy holds her hammer out, "Well well, it looks like we got an uninvited guest."

She raises her hammer up and Patch begins to run and scream for his life.

He screams, "La fille est une monstre!"

"Come back so I can smash you!" Amy shouts, chasing him.

Alicia rolls her eyes, "Idiot."

Suddenly, someone grabs her from behind and bends her arm to her back. The person is Bunnie.

"Howdy. We weren't expectin' no visitation from the likes of y'all," Bunnie says.

Alicia grunts, "Uhn! So sorry to come unannounced."

Suddenly, they hear a loud wham and the sound of Patch screaming.

Bunnie chuckles with a grin, "That's our littleAmy. She can throw a mean hammer.

"Sheesh. She's almost as crazy as Rosie is," Alicia mutters.

"Wasting your talents, aren't you? You're way out of my League," Alicia says, making an escape attempt.

But Bunnie is holding on, "A threat's threat.

"Some threats you can't ignore," Boomer says, and uses his sound wave to knock Bunnie away.

Alicia is free from her grasp as she says, "Exactly Boomer, show her what happens to those who ignore you."

Bunnie then activates her boosters on her feet and flies in the air.

Suddenly, someone says behind Alicia, "If you're looking for someone in your league…"

Then Sally appears and kicks Alicia on her back, "... my schedule is open!"

In the lab, Eve's counterpart is looking around to see things aren't exactly going as planned.

She sighs and says, "I guess things are already going south."

Then turns to Miles, "Miles, keep an eye on the little brat and the geek."

"Sounds good to me," Miles says.

She then begins to walk forward, until a sword is pointed at her. Who she sees is Antoine, pointing his sword at her.

"Not so fast, me dear. I must admit, I have never thought to meet an evil counterpart of Eve," Antoine says.

The one resembling Eve makes a smirk on her face, "Indeed. I never thought I would be able to face my so-called counterpart, but…"

She then holds out her scythe, "It looks like I'll have to deal with you. Be warned, Patch has taught me on how to use a blade."

"We will see about that," Antoine says.

Back in New Megaopolis, Sonic, Eve and the others are doing what they can to clear Knuckles' path to reach Lien-Da.

Sonic punches one out of the way, "Clear the way! My man's got to talk to the lady in charge!"

One of the Legionnaires shouts, "Protect the Kommissar!"

Suddenly, Mighty grabs the Legionnaire and tosses him away like a ball. Sonic and Eve are able to spin dash at the other hovercraft, giving Knuckles enough room to fly up to see Lien-Da.

Knuckles calls out, "Lien-da!"

"Guardian," Lien-Da calmly says.

Knuckles says, "Listen to me. It doesn't have to be this way. Just like your ancestors before you, you can do the ring thing and hive the Dark Legion a chance at peace."

But Lien-Da says, "Don't pretend to know what's best for us, your ancestors never did. And you're just as clueless now. You've done more than enough for us, anyway."

"But working for the Eggman Empire?" Knuckles asks, dismay.

Lien-Da ignores him and presses on the button and demands, "Snively! Where are my reinforcements?"

"What reinforcements? You're the standing army now," Snively says, over the communication device.

After the moment of silence between the two echidnas. Lien-Da drives the hovercraft away.

Then commands, "Dark Egg Le! Fall back! We've lost this position!"

Knuckles simply descends to the ground and feels upset that he couldn't get through to her.

"Why won't she listen to me?" Knuckles asks.

"She was never much of a listener. Never much of a sister, either," Julie-Su says.

"Talk about being stubborn," Fiona says.

"Same as you were," Nic teases.

Fiona chuckles, "Don't even joke."

Sonic wraps his arm sound Knuckles' shoulder, "So you didn't get through to her this time. Maybe once we finish taking over Eggman's trashy little city she'll straighten out."

Then give him a fist bump on the shoulder, "Go give yourself a break and leave the brooding agest Shadow."

"Oh Sonic," Eve says, rolling her eyes.

Then turns to Knuckles, "But he's right. I'm sure we'll get through to her and the legion somehow. Besides, there's not much we can do until Lien-Da and the other Legionnaires decide on their own."

"I guess so," Knuckles replies.

Vector walks towards them, "Good work, everyone! This sector is secured. How's our second team doing?"

"Checking with them now," Julie-Sy says, using her cybernetic dreadlock to talk to the other team.

She calls, "Saffron, do you read me?"

In a computer room of the Eggman Empire, Charmy, Ray, and Jazz are setting up explosive all over the room.

Saffron talks to Julie-Su through the communicator, "Loud and clear, Julie-Su! Jazz and the boys are almost done setting all the charges. When we blow up this tower, Dr. Eggman won't be able to make contact with half the continent!"

"Good to hear! Pull out, and we'll meet you at the rendezvous point," Julie-Su says, through the device.

Jazz finishes with one of the devices and looks out of the window.

Jazz panics, "Chao Choa!"

She flies to Saffron and pulls her to the window, "Chao Chao! Chao Chao Chao!"

"What's wrong, Jazz?" Saffron asks.

Jazz pulls her to the window and points out.

Seeing what is going on, Saffron contacts Julie-Su, "Um… actually… We're going to need some back-up!"

What they see are Lien-Da and the Dark Egg Legion heading towards them.

Meanwhile, back at Freedom HQ, things aren't going well either. The Suppression Squad continues to attack them. Amy and Sally duck their heads.

Amy says, "I hate to say it, but I think we need some back-up!"

"Agree!" Sally says.

The girls then hurry inside the room. Amy has her hammer ready to attack.

Sally calls out, "Freedom Fighters! I need some cover! We need to call Sonic and Eve back!"

Suddenly, Boomer arrives at the entrance, "We'd rather you not."

Just then, Bunnie flies out and attacks Boomer.

She presses him to the wall, "Nobody asked you!"

Sally slides and ducks her head as Antoine and Patch attack with their sword.

Alicia uses her whip to tie Amy's hammer, "You shouldn't be playing with such, big boys, little girl!

Sally then reaches to the control, but is soon attacked by Eve's evil counterpart.

"Hmm, so you're Princess Sally. Look like you're not fast enough as your fast friends," Eve's counterpart says.

Sally looks up and asks, "Who are you? I'm assuming you're not called Eve?"

"You are correct. My name is not Eve. My name is Line-Ra, a member of the Suppression Squad," Eve says.

Sally stands and smirks, "Good to know, but sadly for you, I'm part of the cover."

"Hm?" Eve's counterpart, Line-Ra says confused.

She turns around to see Sonia is the one who is making the call while Tails, Manic, and Rotor hold off Miles and the others. Line-Ra tries to stop them, but Manic gives her a kick.

Sonia calls, "Nicole! Send word to Sonic and Eve! Tell them that we need them back at Freedom HQ! NOW!"

Back at New Megaopolis, Eve hears her communicator beeping.

"Excuse me. Sonic, I need to take this," Eve says.

"Sure," Sonic says.

Eve answers and begins the conversation, "Hello… Sonia, what's wrong, you sound upset…? What…? What are they doing there…?"

Sonic is confused about the conversation, but hearing that Sonia is calling and the expression on Eve's face, something isn't good.

Julie-Su finishes her conversation, "Hang on, Saffron! We're on our way!"

"What's wrong? What happened to Charmy?" Espio asks.

"Lien-Da's retreat led her right to the others. They need our help," Julie-Su says.

"Which is a problem. I got work from Sonia, the Suppression Squad are back and invaded Freedom HQ, right now," Eve says.

"That's not good," Sonic says.

"It's not, and apparently they have a new member on their team, but got cut out before she can tell me," Eve says.

"Then you two head back to Freedom HQ," Fiona says.

"We'll handle things from here," Nic says.

"And it's kind of like Sonic said. We don't really need you here," Knuckles says.

"We'll turn this flanking into an ambush," Mighty says.

"Okay. Nic. Fiona. Can you tell Jazz that I had to get back when you reached her?" Eve asks.

"No problem Eve," Nic says.

"Thanks guys," Eve says.

"Alright, Chaotix. See you back at the homestead!" Sonic says.

With that, Sonic and Eve use their super speed to hurry back to Freedom HQ to help them with the Suppression Squad. But as soon as the two hedgehogs are gone, a small Eggman ship arrives and flies over the Chaotix right now.

Vector notices, "Reinforcements?"

"But I heard Snively say there wasn't anyone left," Knuckles says.

"Looks like they have a few to spare after all," Fiona says.

At the tower, one of the Legionnaires points out, "Kommissar, look! They sent aid.

But Lien-Da turns her head with a huff. The small ship lands on the ground and the hatch opens. Coming out of Dimitri, is the Grandmaster of the Legion, Dimitri.

He says, "I came on my own accord, granddaughter."

"Dimitri. We need you even less than that runt's nonexistent back-up," Lien-Da comments.

"I was made Grandmaster of the Legion," Dimitri says, and begins to connect himself to a robotic mantis.

He continues, "It is my duty to ensure the safety of my people. I will not sit idly by and let you lead them to failure and run."

Then approaches Lien-Da, "I'm taking command of this operation."

"Yes, sir," Lien-Da mutters in disgust.

Once he is connected to the robot and commands the Legion, "Listen up, my Dark Egg Legion. The enemy surrounds us and would destroy a key outpost in our Benefactor's city. Do not hesitate to fire on those of your own kind. They have abandoned us. We shall stop them here and now."

Seeing what is happening, the Chaotix and what's left of the Freedom Fighters see they're about to have more trouble.

Knuckles mutters, "I'm beginning to think sending Sonic and Eve back was a bad idea."

Back at the entrance of Freedom HQ, the door is burst open by Sonic's shoe and they both step inside.

"A heads- up to any jerks present," Eve says.

"The hedgehogs are in the house!" Sonic says.

Hearing the hedgehogs, Sally calls out in relief, "At last! Sonic! Eve! In here!"

Sonic and Eve hurry inside the lab of Freedom HQ.

Suddenly, Manic shouts, "Look out, guys!"

Sonic and Eve dodge as a scythe's blade slams he point to the ground. Eve quickly uses her sword to block the spinning scythe tornado. Eve stops with her feet and uses her sword to collide the attack to a stand still. She gasps in shock to see the member standing before her is a mirror version of herself.

Shocked, Sonic asks, "What the… she looks like Eve?"

"She calls herself, Line-Ra. Apparently, she's Eve's evil counterpart and has a huge scythe as a weapon," Sonia says.

"And is very skilled with it. I was afraid she'd give me a haircut," Manic says.

"And she is strong as I am," Eve adds.

"More like stronger," Line-Ra says.

She then jumps back as she says, "Sorry, sire, but I think you need to speed up your entrance."

Just then, the foot of a familiar foe comes out of the portal of the glow boast. Coming out fully is Scourge the Hedgehog.

With an evil smile, Sourge says, "Attention to all the scrubs of this zone. The king has arrived. Respect."
