Robotnik's Revenge
Last time on Sonic X: Ayla's Story . . .
Shadow transported Chris and Ayla to Eggman's space base, where Chris and Ayla learned about a secret orbiting colony built by Eggman's Grandfather, the brilliant professor Gerald Robotnik. Eggman unveiled the Eclipse Cannon, his ultimate weapon, and warned that he'd use it unless the entire population surrender to the Eggman Empire!
What are Shadow's mysterious motives? Can Chris and Ayla's friends find and rescue them? Will Eggman use the Eclipse Cannon and destroy the whole planet? Find out next on Sonic X: Ayla's Story!
(Gotta Go Fast!)

(Ayla's POV)
*Chris & I were both sitting next to each other on the floor with Shadow in front of the window*
Shadow: Here comes your friend.
Chris: Huh? *we both stood up & went next to Shadow* You mean Sonic?
Shadow: He'd be a fool to challenge me.
Chris: You're the fool, not Sonic!
Ayla: Chris, don't push it.
Shadow: You'll see I'm right. This is one battle your friend cannot win.
*I was starting to get worried*
Ayla:*in her mind* Please be careful.
(Third-Person POV)
*Outside the Ark, the space shuttle was closing in*
Tails: I'll bet they're watching up in there.
Sonic: You just take it slow and steady.
*Just then, Knuckles felt the presence of the Master Emerald. He ran up to the front*
Knuckles: Hurry it up!
*He started wrestling Tails for the controls*
Tails: Knuckles, what's the matter with you!?
Knuckles: The Master Emerald! It's nearby! I can feel it!
Amy: Knuckles! Let go of the wheel!
*The ship started to go up towards the Ark. Lasers fired at it, but barley missed it. Amy screamed*
Mr. Tanaka: Here comes my breakfast!
Sonic: Alright, calm down, will ya!? We're going to the same place anyway!
Knuckles: Master Emerald, here I come!
*The shuttle made a crash landing inside*
Computer Mainframe: INTRUDER ALERT. SPECTOR M-14. INTRUDER ALERT. SPECTOR M-14.
*Rouge looked at the screen & saw the shuttle*
Rouge: I wonder who that could be*
*The X Tornado walked down a hallway*
Amy: Sure is lonely.
Mr. Tanaka: I suspect that no one has been here since the accident occurred 50 years ago.
Sonic: We have a big problem. How do we destroy that weapon when we find it?
Tails: Here, why not give this a try?
*He held up the fake Chaos Emerald he made*
Sonic: A Chaos Emerald?
Tails: Not a real one. I made a copy to help power the X Tornado. It doesn't have the same power as a real Chaos Emerald, bit if we put it in with a real one, it might cause some kind of reaction and mess up the whole system.
Sonic: Okay. If this little baby does the trick, it'll be goodbye Eclipse Cannon! *they made it to an intersection when three dark figures appeared above. suddenly, a claw came towards Amy & Tanaka, who screamed* What's that? *he turned around & saw Amy in the claw* Amy!
Dr. Eggman:*off-screen* Let's shed some light on things. *the lights turned on & they saw the claw was attached to Eggman's Eggmobile, with Eggman, Decoe & Bocoe riding in it**on-screen* I will set your friend free under one condition: give me the Emerald and I'll give you the girl.
Sonic: Let's see. Give me a minute to think it over.
Amy: What do you mean, think it over?
Dr. Eggman: Well, perhaps this might make you think faster.
*He pressed a button & the claw started to squeeze Amy*
Amy: SONIC!
*Sonic jumped down from the X Tornado & pulled out the fake Emerald*
Sonic: It's a deal.
Dr. Eggman: Place the Emerald in the center of that circle.
*Sonic walked towards the circle*
Sonic: Guess it's just like that old saying, easy come, easy go.
*Just then, Eggman pressed a button & a glass cylinder closed down on Sonic, trapping him*
Dr. Eggman: Prepare to be blown into space, my little blue friend.
Tails: No, wait! What if I promise to give you a real Chaos Emerald?
Dr. Eggman: What's that? You mean to tell me that Chaos Emerald is a counterfeit!? *Tails looked nervous* I shall make Sonic pay for your deception, you crafty creep!
Amy: You let Sonic go right now!
Sonic: Hey, it's okay.
Amy: Sonic . . .
Sonic:*to Tails* You're in charge, pal. Alright? Take care of Ayla for me.
*Tears started to build in Tails' & Amy's eyes*
Dr. Eggman: Now Sonic, it's time to say goodbye!
*He pressed a button & Sonic was shot out of the Ark in a capsule*
Amy: Sonic, no! *she was released from the claw & ran towards a nearby window* He's gone . . . *suddenly, the capsule exploded* SONIC!
(Ayla's POV)
*We all watched the capsule that fell out explode*
Shadow: Your friend could not save himself.
*My eyes went wide*
Chris: Huh!? You mean Sonic was in there!?
Shadow: Yes, I'm afraid he was. Perhaps Sonic was not the great hero you thought him to be.
Chris: You're wrong! It can't be true! Sonic!
*He ran out of the room. My legs gave out & I fell to my knees in front of the window. After a few seconds, I screamed in agony & cried. My brother. The only one I had in the entire universe, was gone. I could feel Shadow standing behind me, but I didn't turn towards him*
Ayla: What do you want?
Shadow: Dr. Eggman told me you don't have any parents, is that true?
Ayla: Yeah. What of it?
*He put his hand on my head*
Shadow: I'll make you a deal. I'll take care of you, but only if you promise to do exactly as I say. *I didn't say anything. he took his hand off my head* I'll give you time to think about it. Choose wisely.
*He left the room. I just sat there, unable to move. I didn't know how I would be able to go on without Sonic*
(Third-person POV)
*Knuckles ran down a hallway, carrying the Master Emerald. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of him & Sonic came out of the it. He landed on the floor, shaking*
Knuckles: Sonic! *he put down the Master Emerald & went towards him* Hey, are you alright?
*Sonic slowly got up*
Sonic: I'm okay. I wanna try something.
*He opened his hand, showing the fake Chaos Emerald*
(Flashback)
*An hour ago, in the capsule, Sonic held up the fake Chaos Emerald*
Sonic: Now, let's see is this works. Chaos Control!
*He closed his eyes as the fake Emerald started to glow*
Sonic: This may be a fake, but it works.
*The fake Emerald lost it's glow*
Knuckles: You gonna tell me what's going on or what?
Sonic: Yeah, I will. But first things first, I need you to keep an eye on Tails, Ayla, and the others.
Knuckles: Okay.
Sonic: Great. And while you're doing that, I'm gonna put this guy to the ultimate test.
*Sonic stood on a moving walkway, holding the fake yellow Chaos Emerald in his hand. Just then, Shadow appeared behind him*
Shadow: What a surprise. I could've sworn I saw you blown to bits just a short time ago.
*Sonic jumped onto the walkway moving in the opposite direction*
Sonic: Well, I guess I'm a lot tougher than I look. In fact, it's thanks to you I'm okay.
Shadow: I see. You caused Chaos Control with that phony Emerald there.
Sonic: Yep. I gotta run.
*He ran down the walkway. Shadow took off after him*
Shadow: I'm afraid I can't let you get away from me that easily, my friend. Now I demand to know who you are.
Sonic: Who, me? I'm just a guy with the need for speed. They call me Sonic the Hedgehog!
Shadow: Ah, yes. I well understand your love of speed, Sonic. But now your high speed adventure must come to an end!
Sonic: Wait! Before it does, tell me something. Where's Ayla?
Shadow: Ah, yes. Your adorable little sister. *Sonic's eyes narrowed* Don't worry, she's perfectly safe. As we speak, she's sitting in observation room grieving over your demise.
Sonic:*in his mind* Hold on just a little longer, Ayla. I'll be there soon.
(Ayla's POV)
*I was still sitting in front of the window, with tears in my eyes. I just didn't have the strength to move. I heard the door open, I didn't turn to see who had entered the room*
Tails:*off-screen* Ayla! *he hugged me from behind, but I didn't even flinch* I'm so glad you're okay.
Ayla: He's gone . . . *he let go of me* Sonic's gone. I don't think I can go on anymore.
Chris: No. He's alive! *I turned towards him in shock* Sonic's alive! Knuckles saw him!
*I stood up, ran up to Knuckles, grabbed him by the shoulders & shook him*
Ayla: Are you sure!? Did you really see him!?
*Knuckles grabbed my wrists & pushed me off him*
Knuckles: Calm down, will ya! Yeah, I saw him. He used a fake Chaos Emerald to teleport himself back on the Ark before the capsule exploded.
*I sank to my knees again, this time in relief. I was going to that hedgehog a piece of my mind went I find him. Suddenly, everything started to shake again. We all looked out the window*
Chris: It's the Eclipse Cannon!
Knuckles: Sonic must've done that.
Tails: Now all we have to do is get that Chaos Emerald back from Eggman. Then we'll be in the clear.
*Suddenly, everything went dark. Then a TV screen lit up, showing a timer that read "00:27:53". Another screen lit up showing the old man from the picture I found, chained to a chair*
Dr. Gerald Robotnick:*on the TV* The countdown marking my final revenge on this world has begun. In just a few minutes, you will be destroyed. Soon Space Colony Ark will hurdle through the atmosphere and crash into this planet with cataclysmic force.
*The timer on the TV started*
