Chapter 45: The Reveal and Signal

The Blue hedgehog falls from the sky and lands onto the front door of a cryptid tower. The village of Mazuri where he remembers when chip was with him. He looks around to see the village. People of color moving around and children playing. He looks around and has a flashback when he saved these people from eggman. He remembers the giant tree out in the distance. He decides to go looking for the village elder. He remembers what he looks like. The children look at the blue hedgehog and whispers start to spread. Whispers of him. They all look at him in happiness remembering. Sonic winks to all the people until an old man approaches.

Gwek: "Welcome back Old friend."

Sonic: "Hey gramps. Long time, no see. I see you're still alive."

Gwek: "I maybe old but these bones still work. So what brings you back here?"

Sonic: "I'm looking for a friend."

Gwek: "The little flying one? I remember him."

Sonic: "Nah not him. He uhhhh… he's not with us anymore."

Gwek: "I see."

Sonic: "I'm looking for a prison. Somewhere around the outskirts of Mazuri. It was the last place she made contact with us."

Gwek: "Prison? Oh wait- The prison. Yes, I know that place."

Sonic: "You do?"

Gwek: "Msitu wa Gereza la Mazuri. It's an old prison. I used to work there in my younger days. It held many dangerous prisoners. It was shutdown a long time ago. The prison was left to rot deep in the jungle in the south."

Sonic: "Why was it shutdown?"

Gwek: "It was becoming unsafe there. The prison was held up for such a long time. The prisoners were escaping. Something about an underground secret escape. A lot of criminals were escaping. They stopped sending prisoners there and funding the prison because of the situations going on. So we left it. However, there are uncivilized foreigners that moved into that prison. They keep everyone out and those that go there never return. "

Sonic: "Oh. When did this started happening?"

Gwek: "About years ago they started showing up."

Sonic: "Hmm. You wouldn't happen to have any records or a map of the place do you?"

Vanilla's house

The bunny walks down the road with her best friend flying next to her. She walks down a walkway of stone and comes face to face with the house. She enters the building.

Cream: "We're home!"

She looks around and no one is home. She pulls out her phone and makes a phone call. It rings and rings until Vanilla picks up. There's loud noises and people chanting. She's on the phone.

Vanilla: "Hello?"

Cream: "We're home."

Vanilla: "Good, Good. So how was outer space?"

Cream: "It was fun. I met so many nice people. The gloom guy was there."

Vanilla: "He was?"

Cream: "Yes."

Vanilla: "He didn't hurt you, did he?"

Cream: "No. No. He was… He was nice."

Vanilla: "He was nice?"

Cream: "Well…"

Vanilla: "Aw, its fine. I'm so glad you made it home."

Cream: "Where are you right now?"

Vanilla: "I'm uhhhh…

Man: "Hey Vanilla, How's that wonderful daughter of yours?"

Vanilla: "She's fine. I'm on the phone with her right now."

Cream: "Mom?"

Vanilla: "Sorry. I'm at an old friends house. Having a party."

Cream: "Oh. So you're at where we used to live?"

Vanilla: "Somewhere around here. Why?"

Cream: "No reason."

Vanilla: "Is there something wrong honey."

Cream: "No, no Its fine. Hope you're having a good time. We just got back."

Vanilla: "Okay dear."

Man: "Hey Vector! Haven't seen you in a long time."

Cream: "Detective Vector is there?"

Vanilla: "Yeah he just got here as well. I was going to call and check on you but I bumped into him. Oh hey Claire. Bring me a martini."

Cream: "Mom?"

Vanilla: "Sorry baby. Is it okay if I call you back later?"

Cream: "Yeah. I'll be home if you need me. Do you want me to prepare dinner?"

Vanilla: "That won't be necessary. I'll bring some food home."

Cream: "Well I'll be home until you get here."

Vanilla: "Stay safe baby. I'll be home soon. Love you."

Cream: "Love you too mom."

She hangs up and the whole house is emptied with silence. She looks around to see nothing but her in the house she smiles and sees cheese floating around. She runs upstairs and opens her room door. She undresses and walks into her bathroom with a fresh pair of underwear. She runs the water. she turns her phone on and plays some music onto it. 5 minutes later She walks out of the shower in a towel wrapped around. She brushes her teeth and heads to her bedroom she walks in to see her room exactly the same. She still hates sleeping alone. She hops in her throne and lies across her warm cloth and mattress. She looks on her phone to get text from everyone in school worried about her. She checks her social and catches up on everything. She likes a few photos and slides from her friends. Tails is live on a webcam playing a game. He plays a game that has search and destroy with a few friends he knows in real life. She unmutes him and hears his voice.

Tails: "Yo kel over to the right.

Kel: "Got him."

Bret: "Yo T. Cover me I'm going for the plant."

Tails: "I got you."

An enemy tries to rush Bret and Tails denies his enemy's right for the kill.

Tails: "Sit the fuck down."

Bret prones and starts planting. A enemy sneaks up behind and performs an execution.

Bret: "NO! Guys help!"

He gets executed and the enemy tries to defuse until Tails sneaks up and finishes him off, ending the match. The game chat mic's activate for everyone. Friendly and opposite team are now able to speak to each other.

Tails: "Yo guys what happened?"

Enemy: "Fuck you man."

Bret: "Take the L fags."

Enemy 2: "Bro you're lame as fuck. You're eleven and six.

Tails: "So what? my K/D is higher than yours."

Enemy: "Tie a rope around your penis, tie it to the top of a tree and jump off."

Lenny: "Get rekt bitch ass!"

Enemy: "You're eleven and six nigga."

Tails: "Doesn't matter…"

Kel: "you're garbage."

Enemy: "Shut the fuck up."

Tails: "You suck dude. You suck. You suck. You're ass."

Enemy: "You suck dick at this game."

The chat goes crazy with views and funny emojis. Some crying tears and the others laughing like crazy.

Tails: "I oughtta eat some spicy curry and shit on your chest."

Cream laughs uncontrollably. She picks up the phone again and checks back. Over 10,000 viewers right now.

Tails: "Okay guys, I gotta hop off."

Bret: "Alright man."

Kel: "GG."

Lenny: "See ya."

He ends the vid and the numbers go a bit higher. Cream exits her phone and drops the towel and puts her new underwear on. She walks out and hops over the rail leading to downstairs and lands on her couch. She sits up and walks towards the kitchen to get a snack. Cheese is flying outside towards the garden to check on everything. She finds some carrots in the ice box and notices a cake in the fridge.

Cream: "Mom must've baked while I was gone."

She reaches in and grabs a slice and starts eating. She turns on the TV and listens to the news. She eats and eats and looks outside at the garden at cheese playing with her other chao friends. She sits down and grabs her bag and starts doing her homework while listening to the tv. She catches up on some work she missed. While that's going on, she grabs her phone and calls a friend from school. She picks up and talks.

Claire: "Cream? Where you been? Haven't heard from you in two days."

Cream: "Sorry. I was out of town. How's school?"

Claire: "Same old same old. There was a fight in class."

Cream: "Which one?"

Claire: "Ms. Thompsons. Jamal and Quinton."

Cream: "Oh those clowns. Over?"

Claire: "Remember Blair?"

Cream: "Oh so she got found out?"

Claire: "She got hit in the process."

Cream: "Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. She's a piece of shit anyway."

Claire: "It's a good thing you weren't there. They slammed and broke your desk."

Cream: "Oh man. Karma saved my ass."

Claire: "Where did you go?"

Cream: "Outer space."

Claire: "Oh ha ha."

Cream: "I mean it."

Claire: "Yeah right… Really?"

Cream: "Yes. The space colony ark."

Claire: "Didn't that place get shut down?"

Cream: "Its up and running again."

Claire: "Didn't know that. So that was you in the red ship that flew above us days ago."

Cream: "Yep, just got back."

Claire: "You're lucky. You're a freedom fighter."

Cream: "Meh. I try to focus on my priorities first."

Claire: "So how are you feeling from your scars?"

Cream: "Oh I-I am doing much better."

Claire: "Good to know. Oh have you been catching up with the news lately?"

Cream: "Nope."

Claire: "Somebody from our school got kidnapped by those black arm freaks. Also they killed an innocent man and made his family watch."

Cream: "Oh that. I-I… I heard."

Claire: "So do you think we're gonna be caught in another invasion?"

Cream looks at the tv where more black arms made their appearance and caused another trouble. She remembers Gloom and what he said and still has her tape in the living room.

Cream: "I don't know."

Claire: "Well I'm getting prepared. I'm learning how to fight just incase they come after me."

Cream: "Since when can you fight you walking siren head."

Claire: "Hey, I'm skinny. Not obsolete."

Cream: "What makes you think they'll come after you?"

Claire: "Oh those guys are crazy. and they'll most likely come for you for having a fine ass."

Cream: "Oh… c'mon they'll definitely use your bones for weapons."

Claire: "And your fat ass as a shield"

Cream: "I'm not fat."

Claire: "Nope but you have a better bod."

Cream: "Stop making me blush, you're gonna turn me gay if you keep going."

Claire: "Oh so you're one of those girls."

Cream: "Whatever."

Claire: "Are you still talking to that fox guy?"

Cream: "Yes."

Claire: "So are you and him a thing?"

Cream: "It's nothing like that."

Claire: "So you two aren't-"

Cream: "No. I mean… well…"

Claire: "I understand. You're playing hard to get with him. or you just hoping not to ruin it?"

Cream: "The second one."

Claire: "Wuss. You know how men are. They'll put girls like you and me first and get us anything."

Cream: "What Guy is looking at you?"

Claire: "Secretly everyone."

Cream: "Who is everyone?"

Claire: "would it include the two tail guy?"

Cream: "You shut your mouth."

Claire: "You're getting mad aren't cha?"

Cream: "I hate you."

Claire: *giggling*

Cream: "So how was the test?"

Claire: "Easy as one two three."

Cream: "You didn't study, did you?"

Clarie: "Neither did you."

Cream: "I was sick."

Claire: "Sure misses outer space girl."

Meanwhile With Bunnie rabbot

Antoine: "So my sweet cauliflower, where are you off to?"

Bunnie: "I got a message from Sally. She's in trouble. I'll be gone for a day. She's in some prison at the edge of Mazuri."

Antoine: "Will you need some assistance?"

Bunnie: "Oh my sheriff, I would love the company but what I want you to do is bring us an escape. Plus I don't want you to get hurt."

Antoine: "Hmph. I'll be there. Just gotta see aunt Rosie for assistance with her Friends at the court of justices."

Bunnie: "Give the lady a kiss for me."

She kisses him and puts on her coat and hat.

Antoine: "Be careful."

Bunnie: "I'll be waiting for the round up."

She activates her rocket boots in her metal legs and flies off towards the other side of the world.

Antoine makes a phone call and Rotor picks up.

Rotor: "I already got the message."

Antoine: "I'll be there in 1 hour."

Mazuri

Sonic walks into council home with Gwek. They hand him a blueprint and map.

Gwek: "The prison you're looking for is in the jungle of the unescaped. The prison was escapable. But the jungle had traps we laid out and hazards it makes of its own. The jungle has animals, poison swamps, Quicksand, and other inescapable hazards. This is the prison looking from the inside. There are escape routes and other entries surrounding the prison. You have multiple options, but the prison has foreigners that don't want anybody to be there."

Sonic: "Black arms I think. She should be there. If she's there, maybe I could free the other prisoners."

Gwek: "Maybe. But are you sure you know what you're going against?"

Sonic: "I met there leader. I took him down. They'll be scared as heck when I whip this bad boy out."

Gwek: "Interesting blade and observation. But don't you think it's best to use stealth instead of going in loud?"

Sonic: "Hey you're talking to the fastest thing alive. They won't know who even catch me, nor see me."

Knuckles walks in at the right moment.

Sonic: "Hey knucks. You here to help. I heard everything. If what you say is true that their might be people there. I insist on coming for the prison break. I'll destroy the walls you'll lead them out."

Gwek: "Not the brightest idea. The jungle is lased with traps. Probably traps of their own."

Knuckles: "Whatever they got planning, I'll put them in body bags and send them to Gloom."

Gwek: "Gloom?"

Sonic: "The leader. So where are all the escape points?"

Gwek pulls out a map he made years ago with the help of a fellow criminal that still lives in the village.

Gwek: "From a fellow inmate thate still resides into the village, there's a hole that has been digged through near the rear of the prison. It leads into the showers. And there's a-"

Sonic: "We'll take the map if that's okay. It'll probably be left to rubble."

Gwek: "Listen, years ago I lost my son there. Only one came back. he told me that a huge beast kidnapped them. A monster that was beyond comprehension. Please, if you see my son. Make sure he comes home?"

Sonic: "Don't worry gramps. We'll get everyone out. Knucks, think you can keep up."

Knuckles: "Believe me it's not hard to."

Sonic: "You wanna test that theory?"

Knuckles: "For the sake of me not wanting to be lost, let's get there when we can."

Sonic: "We'll be back. You wouldn't mind if I borrow this do you?"

Gwek: "Of course."

He grabs his map and walks out.

Sonic: "Lets get moving."

Gwek: "Good luck."

They walk outside and face the other end of the village towards the direction of the prison. Sonic looks and rephrases to a memory he remembers.

Flashback

Knothole

Sonic: "So no more robuttknik? Too bad."

Sally: "What? Too bad?"

Sonic: "Hey without a villain, what are heroes gonna do?"

Sally: "You'll always be my hero Sonic the hedgehog."

Present

Sonic looks out and kneels down. The electricity from the blade charges him. His heart starts beating faster and faster. His legs implanted into the ground.

Knuckles: "Sonic? Are you okay?"

Sonic: "I'm coming."

He boosts and a quick flash of lightning and burning rubber as loud as a gun flies out the village. He leaves a trail of dusts and burn marks to the ground. His trail clear with rocks destroyed and a destroyed trail to the direction he's heading. Knuckles is buried under a sheet of rubble with his eyes only appearing. Him looking annoyed and pissed.

Knuckles: "Yeah, im friends with this guy. Gotta remind myself why the hell did I even help him during the attack on angel island."

He crawls out and follows the trail of dirt he left.

Prison

Sally walks down the hall with the girls in disguise. It's evening time. They picked a better time to escape.

Sally: "Now listen. You'll have to get out this prison and look for help. I'll stay behind."

Calliope: "You're not coming?"

Sally: "No. I need to search this place some more. You get out and look for civilization. Right now they need a guard on watch to make sure no one disappears. I'll keep watch while you escape."

Calliope: "Right."

She walks the five to the showers where there are two guards still there keeping watch. She approaches the guards.

Black Arm: "Nobody gets in here without super vision."

Sally: "That's what I'm here for. They asked for a shower."

Black Arm: "And why would they?"

Sally: "Listen we're keeping them here for the time being and I know these mobians personaly in the yard. At least I don't wanna smell the shit on them every day."

Girl: "Hey!"

The other one punches her on the shoulder. And the guards just look.

Black arm: "I come in."

Sally: "Ugh, Perv."

Black arm: "I-its nothing like that."

Black arm 2: "Sure it's not." *chuckles*

Black arm: *sigh* "just go in."

They walk inside with one looking behind. They all look around and spread out. One immediately turns on the water. Sally walks back to the door and keeps watch. The girls turn all the showers on to the highest.

Girl: "Water is a little cold!"

Sally: "It's all we got."

The girls immediately check the showers everywhere. There a loose tile on the ground and they raise it up.

Calliope: "Hurry."

One girl starts crawling in and follows the tunnel. Sally waits and watches. Calliope goes to sally.

Calliope: "Are you sure you can't come with us?"

Sally: "I'm sorry sweetheart but I can't. Besides they'll catch me sooner or later again if I'm out there. All I need you to do is escape this place and look for someone. Trust no one and tell everyone. The world needs to know. I'll got more people to help the best way I can. I'm a freedom fighter."

*bang* *bang*

Black Arm: "Hey, Is everything okay in there?"

Sally: "It's fine. Don't worry, it's fine."

Calliope nods in understanding and hugs sally. She hurries towards the hole in the ground and crawls through it. She leads the way with the girls as Sally stays behind. Sally takes advantage of the situation and bars the door with her baton. She walks to the tile and goes underground. She follows a different path to the sewers again. As she's doing that the girls find the way out into the jungle. They look around to make sure no one is in sight.

Girl: "Alright. what's the plan?"

Calliope: "We run."

She jumps down safely enough feet to the ground and lands safely. Each taking their turn. They wait for the last one and immediately storm into the jungle. They run for like a minute following the closest one in sights path. They run until calliope gets tired. They stop to get some rest.

Girl: "Alright. we escaped those guys now all we need is to know which way is people at.

Calliope: "We can't look up in the sky to know which way is north."

Girl 2: "You can use astronomy?"

Calliope: "The sun rises from the east and sets in the west no matter what. When the sun rises north is to the left. When the sun falls north is always going to be to the right."

They look up to catch a glimps of it but can't seem to make it out.

Girl 3: "Can't see."

Girl 4: "I got nothing. Maybe we can look for the light."

Girl: "It's evening. It's about to be dark soon. We'll be in the dead of the night before we get out of here."

The second girl who's human looks on the trees for the moss. She checks on a jungle tree and see's something. Green moss pointing towards one direction. She looks at another one on a bush and it's clear.

Girl 2: "North. This way."

Calliope: "How did you?"

Girl 2: "I can read moss. Come on."

She starts walking and the others follow along. They walk and walk pass spiders and snakes. They continue to walk past bushes and banana branches until a loud growl is heard.

Girl 3: "What the hell is that?"

A lion walks out of the bushes in front of the group. The lion looks in contempt. One of the girls starts hiding behind a tree while covering her mouth mumbling to herself. The others stop and one is almost ready to scream but holds it. The lion is about to pounce on the girl that's leading north and it runs away in fear. Everybody sighs in relief.

Girl 2: "What was that about?"

They all look back at each other and they check to see who's still here.

Calliope: "Hey where's Lillith?"

Lillith: "Guys?" *Squeaking*

The girl behind the tree is trembeling.

Girl 3: "What?"

The third girl looks behind the tree to find Lillith trembeling in fear and staring at something. Something in the distance floating. It looks like something not from this world. something paranormal. It slowly floats towards the girls path and pulls out it's scythe. It has black smoke floating from the bottom and it has a scar across it's face. They immediately catch the same idea and run.

Calliope: "RUN!"

They run following the leaders path. She jumps past rocks and branches running for their lives. The Black figure floats after them fast with his scythe for a hand and chains. The figure has white eyes. They look back to see him still chasing and they pick up the pace. the third girl trips with Lillith picking her up and running following the girls path. They jump down a steep hill and Calliope falls and rolls over onto a tree. hurting and scrapping her arm. She gets up in pain and sees the other girls jumping down she gets up and continues to run north. The second girl follows calliope as the other three are falling behind. Calliope stops and hides behind a tree and see's the other girls still running. Lillith steps on a trap and is snagged up above.

Lillith: "Ahhh."

Girl 3: "Lillith!"

Lillith: "Help me!"

She tries to catch her hand but notices the dark figure coming. She tries to pull her down but it's getting closer.

Girl: "I'm sorry."

She runs off leaving lillith to hang there.

Lillith: "No please don't leave me!"

She does just that as the monster approaches with a symbol of the Zc on his back. It looks at lillith and places its hand on her face as she cowers in fear. The girl who's mobian dog throws a rock at the figure who looks at the direction it came from.

Girl: "over here ugly!"

She runs and the figure follows her. Calliope runs out towards Lillith and pulls her.

Lillith: "Please get me down! I seen what his face looks like."

Calliope: "I don't want to know."

She tugs on her but cant seem to budge her. she looks for the rope trail and finds it at the end of a tree. She tries budging it with a sharp object but cant cut it.

Lillith: "Please hurry, its coming back!"

The figure walks back towards the trapped cat mobian who is upside down from above. The figure pulls out its blade and rubs it so gently. Calliope stands in front of him blocking him. it raises it's blade up ready to kill Calliope. The girls all look around in shock and horror staring at their brave friend who is about to be decapitated.

All: "CALLIOPE!"

The figure swings but a blue figure runs out and spin dashes it into a tree. They all look at shock and amazement as the worlds fastest thing alive shows up and jumps high cutting Lillith's rope. She drops down as calliope catches her fall and Sonic charges his sword.

Sonic: "Get back now!"

They do just that as the figure stands up and charges at sonic. He jumps high and spin dashes down and crashes it to the ground. The girls hide behind the trees. Sonic jumps out of the smoke of the mess he left but gets a chain latched to his neck. The demon appears from the smoke. It tries to drag sonic to him until the ground starts shaking. A bulge in the ground grows and a red echidna lodges from the ground and breaks the chain. He frees sonic from the demons grasp.

Sonic: "Thanks knuckles."

Knuckles: "My pleasure. What is that thing?"

Sonic: "Beats me. but someone is a bit of a creeper trying to snatch little girls."

Knuckles: "Lets put this creeper to rest."

The creeper lodges towards sonic and knuckles with its chain and scythe. Knuckles grabs a large chunk of a rock from the ground that's big enough to be a boulder. He chucks it at the creeper and it slices it destroying the rock. Sonic dashes towards him with his blade and cuts the scythe. Knuckles makes the approach and jumps high he comes down with his fist of justice and smashes the creeper into the ground killing it. It lies there dead and disappears leaving a trail of black smoke in the air. It's gone.

Sonic: "That thing was creepy."

Knuckles: "Too creepy."

Sonic: "Hey, it's safe!"

The girls come out of hiding. Lillith runs up to sonic and knuckles bowing her head towards them.

Lillith: "Thank you, that was amazing. You're one of those heroes."

Knuckles: "Yeah. You guys alright?"

Girl 2: "Yeah thanks."

Calliope: "I knew you guys would come. Sally said you'd come."

Sonic: "Yeah. She's with you?"

Calliope: "No. She chose to stay behind."

Sonic: "How many of you are there?"

Calliope: "Just us five."

Sonic: "Which way did you guys come from?"

Calliope: "Wait. You're him. You're Sonic the hedgehog."

Sonic: "Yep. It's always good to know I have fans."

Knuckles: "Hey, don't forget why we're here."

Sonic: "I know."

Knuckles: "So where's the prison?"

Lillith: "That way."

Sonic: "Okay."

A loud jet stream noise flies down. A cybernetic bunnie lands in front of the 7 people.

Bunnie: "How was the space adventure sug?"

Sonic: "Bunnie? It was great. How did you know we were here?"

Bunnie: "Sally sent a message to me. She said about some prison in this jungle. I saw you're trail as I was flying by."

Sonic: "Well at least we have back up. Is it just you?"

Bunnie: "For now. Antione and Rotor will be bringing more along soon."

Calliope: "So where do you want us?"

Sonic: "Yo knux?"

Knuckles: "You want me to carry all them back to mazuri?"

Girl 2: "Wait, we're in mazuri?"

Sonic: "Hey. I need you guys to do us a favor"

Prison

In the main building, Sally is waiting around in a bathroom far from the one she killed that guard. She hears something on her walkie-talkie. She overhears something.

Black arm: "There has been an escape of 5 prisoners. Be on the lookout for a fake guard pretending to be one of us. All units form up to the courtyard immediately. This prison is on lockdown."

Sally: "Damn, they found out."

Black arm: "Chopper unit. Be ready for the packages coming in soon."

Sally: "Packages?"

Black arm: "Brek-BA9, we have a team ready for packages and a security team waiting. We'll be ready for landing."

Sally: "Huh?"

A door opens with two guards coming in and talking.

Black arm: "So that package, what's coming?"

Black arm 2: "The new type of gas we invented to kill off anything."

Black arm: "Which we're gonna use to break gloom out?"

Black arm 2: "Yes. The other one is a new weapon we're gonna get thanks to our commander Despera."

Black arm: "The weapon? What's it do?"

Black arm 2: "It brings out a power more deadlier than a nuclear hammer."

Sally: "An atomic bomb?"

Black arm: "Oh ho ho I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they get a taste of their own medicine."

Black arm 2: "Yep."

they flush the toilet stalls and walk out talking about something else.

Sally: "I gotta see those weapons."

Sally flushes the toilet to make her seem like she was using it and walks out the bathroom. She walks to the rooftops but stay hidden so no one can spot her. she looks at the army they produced and the amount of weaponry they have. Many black arm soldiers of the three factions. She looks around hoping to catch a glimps. A unit gets called in to remove their helmets and state their names. She takes cover behind a window sky view that leads to the cafeteria. she sees a chopper land with it's loading doors opening in the center. They bring out two boxes. The mystery and Commander Despara walk out to them. they start moving them away from the courtyard and inside. Sally looks along to see where its going but a hand touches her shoulder. She drags her down to the ground and brings out her combat knife. Sally waives her hand.

Sally: "Wait!"

Sally removes her helmet to her friend that tried to sneak kill her. Although they don't share the same blood, they are like sisters.

Bunnie: "Sally?"

Sally: "You got my message."

Sally puts her helmet back on and ducks the both of them out of sight from anyone who can see them.

Bunnie: "Listen we got your message. Rotor and antione are on the way to help break these people out."

Sally: "Hold on. Not yet. I found out about something. Something these people are planning."

Bunnie: "What is it?"

Sally: "I don't know. But do you see these two crates?"

She points at them and bunnie follows along.

Bunnie: "You need to see what's inside?"

Sally: "Yes. We're on a verge of another war. They are planning something tomorrow at GUN HQ. They're gonna break Gloom out."

Bunnie: "Gloom? They got him locked up at that place."

Sally: "Which is why we need to be ready and see what it us they have in those boxes."

Bunnie: "So you're gonna get a closer look right?"

Sally: "Yes."

Bunnie: "Don't you think I should come?"

Sally: "No. but make sure you wait for my signal to get these prisoners out. Did sonic and the others make it?"

Bunnie: "They're here. They took them kids back to Mazuri while I see what I can see in here."

Sally: "Good, So as soon as they get here. Tell them to wait. You'll know when I need help."

She hands her the walkie-talkie she snagged off one of Some guards earlier. She has a spare one to initiate the prison break.

Bunnie: "Are you sure you got this?"

Sally: "I got it."

They hug and separate. Sally opens the sky view window and drops down into the cafeteria. Bunnie goes back into the jungle to wait for Sonic and knuckles.

Sally runs up at the side of the door where a few guards walk past. She waits for the walking and starts heading into their direction. She follows them and waits for them to open the door. She sneaks through the door that's about to close on her and finds herself with everyone scurrying and burning paper and other stuff. They have all the humans and mobians tossing and burning stuff into a pit of fire or shredding stuff. A black arm guard waits for the last human to carry stuff into a room and walk out. He closes and opens a grenade pin. He tosses it into the room with two more grenades and closes it and locks it. A loud boom is heard with others burning and tossing other stuff.

Sally: "Are they burning the evidence?"

She blends in with the crowd hurrying through. A lot of guards and people everywhere.

Guards: "HURRY IT UP!"

Guards: "MOVE IT!"

They all push some people into a crowd and walk them back to the Prison cells. They hurry more people to destroy more papers and boards. A black arm with a flamethrower walks out to a pile of maps, planning, and electronics. He lights it up with his flame thrower. The hurry all the humans and people out into the cells. A black arm guard commands them all with a microphone.

Black Arm: "All right people, Listen up!"

They all stop doing what they're doing and get with the program. Sally adapts to the environment.

Black Arm: "Head to the loading area. Our commander has a surprise for you and after she's done make sure to load up the weaponry on to the aircrafts."

They all start moving and sally stays near the black arm to listen. He starts talking to his buddy.

Black Arm: "Hey. You got that C4 set up?"

Black Arm 2: "Yes."

Black Arm: "As soon as we leave this place. Hit the button."

Black arm 2: "What about the prisoners?"

Black Arm: "The commander said leave them here. They'll serve for one last use."

Black Arm 2: "Right."

Sally grabs a grenade before she leaves the armory. He walks out with his buddy and Sally follows the crowd to the Armory area. She walks into a massive warhouse. The whole army is gathered around and into a crowd waiting for them to show off the weapons. The mystery is on top of the stage standing still. He waits for the crowd to settle down. The black arm lady known as Commander Despara walks aboard with loud cheering following her.

Despara: "I'm gonna show you something beautiful! I'm gonna show you the power we posses! The power that will bring this planet to it's knees!"

The cheering soars through the prison echoing out through the jungle and prison.

Meanwhile in the jungle

Sonic and Knuckles are running back into the jungle after they hurried the girls to the village safely. They enter back into the trees and banana bushes. They hurry to the spot where Bunnie resides. They make it to the cow girl.

Bunnie: "What took ya so long?"

Sonic: "Sorry. We had to make sure they were supervised."

Knuckles: "So what's the plan?"

Bunnie: "I found Sal."

Sonic: "Where is she?"

Bunnie: "She's disguised as one of the prison guards."

Sonic: "Sweet. So what are we up against?"

Bunnie: "A whole army."

She jumps high above the wall with her cybernetic abilities. She lands on the building she was at and sonic and knuckles immediately follow along to see the army at the armory. They watch and see the box opening to this purplish pink gas in tubes.

Sonic: "What is that?"

Bunnie: "Don't know."

On the stage

Despara: "Im gonna show you the future. A world without leaders and evil tyrants like the pathetic inhabitants that rule it. I'm gonna show you Lord Glooms plan!"

She opens the box to reveal purple-pink liquid inside of the tubes. She reveals another box that has a weapon canon that looks familiar.

Despara: "From the concept and based on the idea from the space colony ark! We have made a laser that is not as strong as the moon destroying laser but will be strong enough to incinerate entire cities!"

Sonic: "Wha…?"

Knuckles: "She wouldn't."

Despara: "And with the this newly reformed gas we came up with that will make anything and everything that's not black arm suffer from the inside out. And as of today I am going to use one of the first special people you'll enjoy to see suffer with this. BRING HIM OUT!"

The crowd cheers on as they bring out a GUN soldier they captured. He's human. They drag him towards the stage in chains and cuffs. He is beaten to a bloody pulp. They drop him on stage with Despara looking down on him.

Despara: "Years ago when we first assembled to this planet! They thought us crippled by their weapons of mass destruction. Our supposed to be leader abandoned us and killed our lord doom for his own personal gain! He was one of the ones that burned Black Doom's body and incinerated him that the black hedgehog defeated!"

The crowd cheers to kill him and make him suffer. Despara grabs him by the hair and says something in his ear.

Despara: "Long Live the Ternion."

She reaches for the gas and opens it.

Despara: "Smells like Perfume boys!"

She puckers is face and pours all of it on his face. He screams out in agony as his face blisters up and his hair falls apart. He coughs up blood out of his mouth and nose. His face burns as he screams.

GUN Soldier: "AHHHHH"

She throws the bottle towards the crowd for a few to fight over it.

Despara: "Don't cry human. It's only pain!"

All: *Laughing*

The gun soldier rolls on his back.

Despera: "I say that's a better look for you!"

She turns to the crowd.

Despara: "We have more of these! More powerful than these in this box. Now it'll be a shame to let these go to waste for a special occasion like this. Hey Dragono?"

The dragon with the green fire on his head emerges from the side and walks on stage.

Despara: "What do you think we should do about the rest of these?"

Dragono: "I say… I say…"

The crowd cheers as they tell him with ideas of what to use it with. A lot of them saying lend it to them or drop it on Central City.

Dragono: "Don't worry babies. There'll be a lot more better than these tomorrow. I say, since we're abandoning this place, lets set up cameras in the prison have the place on lock so they can't escape and unleash this gas for the fools we captured and sent here! They'll be the first to suffer from this gas!"

Despara: "That's a great idea! Don't worry boys we'll use the laser for another time!"

Black Arm Army: "YYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHH!"

Sally: "Oh my god!"

On the rooftop

Sonic: "Prisoners."

Knuckles: "Those bastards! We gotta get em out now!"

Bunnie: "We gotta wait for sally's signal."

Sally hops on her walkie talkie to the bottom of the crowd.

Sally: "Okay guys get ready!"

Bunnie: "Ready for what, Sug?"

Sally pulls the grenade pin out and a black arm notices it. She throws it out towards the stage where two guards try to stop it. They were to late. The grenade flies on stage and lands next to Despara.

Despara: "What The-"

Dragono jumps in front if her but the explosion happens.

*BOOM*

Sonic: "That's our signal!"
