Chapter 3: A New Protection Plan
In the forest where Eggman's building is, Sally and Bunnie are making their way to Freedom Fighter HQ. They know that the Sol Emeralds have something to do with Sonic's age changing.
"All we need to do is to study the emeralds and see if we can find a way to fix Sonic," Sally says.
"I hope we can find a way to fix the little Sugar-hog," Bunnie says.
"Me too," Sally says.
Nicole says through the computer pad, "I'm sure if we study the emeralds we'll find a way to reverse Sonic's condition."
Suddenly, the group hear rustling in the bushes. The two become concern to hear that someone might be approaching them.
"Sally girl, what do you think is that?" Bunnie asks.
"I don't know. It might be Dr. Eggman or any of his Dark Egg Legion coming back," Sally says.
Bunnie brings out the blaster from her robotic arm, "Then they'll get this from me."
Sally possession herself to fight, "Be ready Bunnie."
Sally and Bunnie are ready to fight off Dr. Eggman and his Dark Egg Legion that might come their way. The rustling of the bushes come closer and closer.
Bunnie says, "That's it, I'm going for it."
Bunnie charges as Sally screams, "Bunnie, wait!"
Bunnie dives into the bushes and the bush begins to move rapidly. Soon, Bunnie jumps out of the bushes and pins whoever is on the ground. Bunnie stops and looks down to see Silver the Hedgehog on the ground.
"Silver, it's you?" Bunnie asks.
"Of course it's me. What's the big idea?" Silver asks.
Bunnie quickly gets off of him, "Sorry, we thought you were Dr. Eggman or of his minions."
"That's alright. What are you two doing here?" Silver asks.
"What are we doing? What are you doing? Why were you hiding in the bushes?" Sally asks, walking to the two.
"I was trying to get through it not hiding," Silver says, getting up.
He dust himself and says, "Blaze and I are trying to find the Sol Emeralds. She sensed them coming from this direction."
"Funny you should mention Sol Emeralds," bunnie says with a giggle.
Sally then opens her bad as she takes the emeralds out. At the same time, Blaze comes out of the bushes with Baby Sonic in his hands. Sally, Bunnie, and Blaze look at each other.
Bunnie and Sally are shocked, "Sonic!"
"The Emeralds!" Blaze shockly says, seeing the emeralds.
The pair realize there's an explanation about the strange encounter and the connection between Sonic and the Sol Emeralds.
Baby Sonic wakes up to see Sally and reaches to her, "Abbee Abbee!" Then begins to cry.
Sally quickly comes to Sonic and places him in her arms. At the same time, she gives Blaze the Sol Emeralds.
She rubs Sonic's back, "There there Sonic. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here."
"But, what's Sonic doing here?" Bunnie asks.
"Well, we did just rescued him from Dr. Eggman. He was making the little guy cry," Silver says.
"Eggman had him? Sally asks.
Then gasps, "Oh no!"
"What is it?" Blaze asks.
"If Sonic was taken by Eggman then something must have happened to Tails and the others. We need to get back to Freedom Fighters HQ now," Sally says.
"You're right. Somethin' must have happened," Bunnie says.
Silver then activates his powers, "Don't worry, I'll get us there."
Soon Silver begins to float thanks to his physic abilities. He then lifts, Sallu, Bunnie, and Baby Sonic in the air. Then they all fly through the forest to Headquarters. Blaze uses her Blazing speed to follow.
Back at Freedom Fighters Headquarters, Antoine and Rotor have return to see the condition Tails and the others are in. The two are able to release them from the cuffs from parts of their body. Tails and the others explain what happened.
"Eggman was here and attacked you and took Sonic?" Rotor asks in shock.
"Sacre Bleu, poor baby Sonic. He has met with a cruel fate and in the condition that has befallen him," Antoine dramatically says.
Amy angrily says, "Can it Antoine!"
"We have to find Sonic. I can't think of what Eggman is doing to him," Cream worriedly says.
Tails says, "Don't worry, we'll find him. We need to let Sally know what happened."
Suddenly, they hear voices, "Tails! Amy! Cream! Vanilla! Cheese!"
Coming in the door is Bunnie, follow by Blaze, Silver, and Sally who has Sonic in his arms.
"Sally! Bunnie! You're back!" Tails says.
Amy notices the baby hedgehog, "Sonic! You're okay!"
Baby Sonic is still whimpering from crying earlier.
Amy quickly asks, "What happened? Is Sonic okay? He's not hurt is he? Where's Eggman? I want first crack at him!"
"Sonic is alright, but he was really scared. Blaze and Silver saved him and they found us. More like Bunnie did," Sally says.
Bunnie says, "We also found out Blaze's Sol Emeralds were in this machine and the reason why Sonic has been turned into a baby."
"That's good to hear. Now we know what's responsible for this," Tails says.
Amy takes Sonic and confronts him, "I'm just glad Sonic is alright. I just feel awful allowing Eggman to kidnap him like that, but he threatens Sonic and us."
"It's not your fault Amy. You were thinking of Sonic's safety. I couldn't be prouder," Sally says.
"Thanks. I just wish I could have done something," Amy says.
"Don't worry, I took care of him, but he'll be back," Blaze says.
Then Silver says, "Blaze and I will do whatever we can to help Sonic return to normal. We'll even help take care of him."
"Thanks Mr. Sliver. You too, Ms. Blaze," Cream happily says.
Vanilla says, "I'm just glad everyone is alright and everything worked out."
"Still, I never thought Eggman could have done something this low," Antoine says.
"I agree Sugar Twan. That Eggman has some nerve threatening Sonic like that," Bunnie says.
"It's worse. He wants to make sonic part of his Dark Egg Legion and wants to Legionize him after raising him a little more," Amy says.
Sally is silent and looks down. Everyone become confused to see Sally silent like that. Sally grits her teeth and clutches her hands into strong fists.
She then presents her hand to Amy and says, "Amy. Hammer. Now."
"Why?" Amy asks.
"Just. Do. It," Sally answers.
Amy is confused and makes her hammer appear and gives it to Sally. Then Sally takes the hammer outside, leaving everyone confused. Suddenly, they hear Sally screams in rage and multiple slamming making everyone scared and confused. Finally, the screaming and slamming stop. Everyone slowly peek out to see Sally taking deep breaths around multiple holes that are recently on the ground.
"I think Sally isn't very happy with Eggman," Cream replies.
"She isn't," Silver bluntly says.
After Sally cools down, everyone is sitting in the living room of Freedom Fighters HQ. they need to come up with another plan.
"Alright, Eggman and his Dark Egg Legion know about Sonic's condition. We need to find a way to get Sonic back to normal before he comes after him again," Sally says.
"If the Sol Emeralds are the ones responsible for Sonic's condition. Do you think they could fix him?" Cream asks.
Rotor turns to Sally and Bunnie, "You said that Eggman had the emeralds in a machine. We could try to use the same machine to fix him. But, it might not work the same way."
"After collecting the data from Eggman's workshop .It might take ten to twelve days to get the machine finish.
"It might be too dangerous to risk. It could cause Sonic to change to a different age or affects him differently," Silver replies.
"There has to be some say to cure Sonic," Amy says.
Sally begins to think, "Hmmm, I might have an idea."
"What is it Sally?" Bunnie asks.
"If the Sol Emeralds are the cause of Sonic's reversing his age, maybe we can use the Chaos Emerald to repel it, or should I say, A Master Emerald," Sally says.
Tails realizes, "Knuckles! Maybe can help us with the Master Emerald."
"I suppose we can give him a try," Amy says as she feeds Sonic with a bottle.
"We can visit him first thing tomorrow. I think it's best that all of us should go," Antoine says.
"I have to agree. We all should go there together. The more of us there are, the more we have a chance to attack against Eggman and protect Sonic," Sally says.
Amy looks at Sonic, "Hear that Sonic, we're going on a trip together."
"Ba ba. Aba aba," Sonic replies. He then yawns and falls asleep.
"Good night Sonic," Amy says, and softly kisses Sonic.
Rotor says, "I think we should get some sleep tonight. I'll send a message to Julie-Su."
"Silver. Blaze. You both are happy to stay with us for the night," Sally says.
"Thank for your generous offer. I'll help keep an eye out for Eggman in case he tries another attack," Blaze says.
"I hope we can fix Sonic," Silver says.
Sally sighs, "I hope so too. I just hope the Master emerald could cure him."
