Unthinkable
(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series (Season 23) - English Dub Opening)
(Abigail's POV)
*It's been two days since Geoffrey's trial. Today, me, Sonic, Antoine, Bunnie, the Council of Acorn, King Nigel, Queen Alicia, Naugus, & Geoffrey were all standing in front of Castle Acorn. Elias had decided that, with everything going on in New Mobotropolis right now, it would be best if he & his family leave the city & go stay in Feral Forest for safety. They had all their things packed into the Mobo-Cruiser. Megan & baby Alexis were already inside & Sonic was talking to Elias. We were acting as escorts until they got to safety*
Sonic: C'mon, Noggy only almost stole your legacy and Kingdom from you. *I elbowed him for bringing that up* Ahem! You can still live here.
Elias: No, we can't. It's getting too dangerous here. When things calm down, we'll return. *whispering to Sonic* Especially, since this is Naugus we're talking about. With the Death Egg out there, you don't need further trouble at home.
Sonic:*whispering* I know, I know. I understand what you're doing. I just wish you'd stick around. *then the Mobo-Cruiser was drove away. we all waved goodbye. Sonic then opened his holographic wristwatch as the Tornado flew above us, with Amy on the wing***out loud* This is Sonic to the Tornado. You read me?
Tails:*off-screen* Loud and clear.
Sonic: Then let's do it to it!
*Antoine, Rotor, & I then got on our hover boards & we flew after the Mobo-Cruiser. Bunnie flew with us, using her rocket feet. Sonic was running. Just then, the Death Egg appeared in the sky.
Tails:*off-screen* Heads up! Death Egg approaching at one o'clock high!
Amy:*off-screen* How does he keep hiding that thing!?
*Just then, it dropped a bunch of smaller eggs from the bottom. They opened & an army of Egg Pawns came out*
Sonic: Huh. Looks like Egg upgraded the ol' Egg Pawn design. *he dodged some lasers* Tails! Clear the way for the Cruiser! We'll handle the jokers on the ground!
Tails:*off-screen* Roger that!
*Sonic hit a few of them with a spin dash*
Sonic: All right, new Badniks! Lemme show you how this goes! See you guys show up, then I smash you to - *he dodged another laser* Whoa! Neat trick!
*Tails fired missiles at the Egg Pawns, Amy smashed any that came close to the Tornado with her hammer, Rotor punched a few of them, Antoine & I slashed off their heads & arms, & Bunnie blasted some with her hand laser. When they were all destroyed, two new robots were launched from the Death Egg. One of them was Metal Sonic & the other was an upgraded Mecha Sally. All of us looked shocked*
Sonic: Sally . . .
Amy:*off-screen* What did that sicko do to her!?
Tails:*off-screen* He weaponized her . . .
*Sally flew towards the Tornado*
Amy:*off-screen* I . . . I . . .
Tails:*off-screen* Mayday! Mayday! She's coming right for us!
Amy:*off-screen* . . . No . . . This isn't her fault.
*Laser swords came out of her arms*
Mecha Sally: MOVING TO ELIMINATE AIR SUPPORT FOR GROUND FORCES. CHILDREN DON'T BELONG ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
*She the used her laser swords to slice the Tornado in half. Luckily, Tails & Amy survival & Tails caught Amy before the plane fell to the ground. Sonic started to zoom towards them*
Sonic: Look out, below! I'm coming to - GRK!
*Suddenly, Metal Sonic grabbed him. But then Bunnie swooped in & grabbed the robot*
Bunnie: Ah got him, Sugar-Hog! I've tangled with tougher robots than this one!
*As Bunnie & Sonic were fighting Mecha Sally & Metal Sonic, the Death Egg fired lasers at the Mobo-Cruiser, but they all missed. Just then, Metal Sonic broke away from the fight, flew towards the Mobo-Cruiser, & latched on to the side*
Sonic:*off-screen* Sonic to team! I'm tied up with Sally! Somebody stop Metal Sonic from getting to the Cruiser!
*Antoine, being the closest, flew towards the Mobo-Cruiser & grabbed Metal Sonic. As they wrestled, Metal Sonic's eyes started to glow red. Suddenly, it exploded right in front of Antoine. The blast sent him flying backwards & he bounced a little until he just lay on the ground, motionless*
Tails: Wha . . What happened? Did he . . .?
Amy: Antoine!?
Sonic: 'Twan!? 'Twan!?
Abigail:*covering her mouth No . . . No!
*Bunnie just stood where she was, completely deviated. Once the smoke subsided, Mecha Sally flew back to the Death Egg*
Mecha Sally: Order received. Returning to base.
*As she flew away, we all surrounded Antoine, with tears in our eyes. Bunnie cradled him in her arms*
Bunnie: Antoine . . .! Antoine . . .!
*Elias called Sonic on his holographic wristwatch*
Elias:*off-screen* Please respond! Somebody! What happened? How is the Commander!?
Sonic: Hey, Elias? He's . . . He's . . . Listen. You're in the clear now. You . . . You just get going.
Elias:*off-screen* But . . .!?
Sonic: He made sure you could get away safety. Don't . . . Don't waste that . . . *he then walked towards Bunnie* Bunnie . . .
Bunnie: No! I'm not letting go! I won't let him got!
Sonic: There's still time. He's breathing. I'm fast enough. I'll get him to Doctor Quack.
Bunnie: Doctor . . .? Right. Yes. Please. Oh, please. Hurry!
*Sonic took Antoine in his arms & zoomed back to the city*
Tails: Save him, Sonic! Save him!
*As Sonic zoomed away, I cried as Amy & I hugged Bunnie*
Abigail:*in her mind* First Sally, now Antoine! Why do I even have these powers if I can't I save my friends!? Why!?
Note: I wanted to change Antoine's fate, but then I realized that it was one of the things I can't change. No matter how much I want to. My stomach was in knots writing this chapter. Also, please don't let Fanfiction die!
