Episode 5: The Code of the Hacker Part 2

Not long ago, a 5 legged drone robot arrived outside of Freedom HQ to destroy Kyle and anyone else who might know the truth of his intention on Sgt. Miller's orders. Now, Sonic and his friends soon begin to fight the robot. Sonic and his friends fight against the robot with their attacks. Sonic spin dashes the robot by the leg. Then Shadow uses his Chaos Spear on the other leg. Soon, the Drone begins to fire at them. Sally, Tails, and Rouge dodge out of the way.

In the Detention Center, Kyle is still working on the computer when he hears a loud explosion. Nicole comes out of the computer of the Detention Center to hear the noise coming from outside.

Nicole asks, "What was that?"

"I suspect it was Sgt. Miller's robot. He probably sent it to destroy me, and anyone else who might be involved," Kyle says.

Nicole says, "I downloaded the file as to our agreement."

"Thank you," Kyle says.

Nicole then creates a holographic screen and keypad for the file. Kyle then types on the computer pad.

He presses the buttons as he says, "Luckily, I sent the file to a place where G.U.N doesn't think to look."

"Where is that?" Nicole asks.

Kyle then holds out a white string, "Here you go. It's a hidden wireless connection I have to keep safe keeping."

Nicole takes the strong and uses it. When she uses it, Nicole can see the data that is needed.

"Wow, Kyle! How did you manage to do this?" Nicole asks.

"I have my way. The password is 09-18-93," Kyle says.

Nicole types in the numbers to see the information about G.U.N's traitor and how he manages to pull it off.

Meanwhile, Sonic, the Freedom Fighters, and Team Dark are fighting against the Drone.

Omega brings out his firearms from his body and arms, "Prepare to face my powerful blasters."

Omega then fires multiple guns and blasts from his body to attack the drone. However, the Drone then activates a protective shield and the blast strikes at it. As of now, the drone has been protected.

"The robot blocked my barrage," Omega asks, sounding shocked.

Sonic then performs a spin dash at one of the Drone's legs. Suddenly, the drone jumps up in the air as Sonic spin dashes under it. Sonic stops his spin dash and turns back to the robot in shock to see it in the air.

Shadow creates a spear of Chaos Energy as he shouts, "Chaos Spear!"

Shadow throws the Chaos Spear to strike at the body of the drone. The Drone then activates it's shield and blocks Shadow's attack.

Rouge jumps in the air and shouts, "Screw kick!"

Rouge then spins like a drill and dives down to the robot, but the shield repels her attacks too. Rouge lands on the ground and is shocked to see her attack isn't working on it.

Sonic says, "That robot is able to block any attack we through before we launch it."

"We need another plan to fight that robot," Sally says.

Back in the detention room, Kyle continues to type on the keyboard as he looks at the video of the drone fighting against the Freedom Fighters and Team Dark. Nicole notices that Sonic and the others fighting the drone, and it seems to be a problem.

"Sonic and the others are in trouble. I need to do something," Nicole says.

"That robot is a Drone. It has a system that will let it predict the enemies movements. It's the latest prototype for G.U.N," Kyle says, typing on the keyboard.

Nicole says in concern, "That's not good at all."

Then asks, "Is there anyway to stop it?"

"Since it's a prototype, I can easily hack into the system, but I'm going to need your help," Kyle says.

"Alright. Let's hurry," Nicole says.

"Thank you Nicole," Kyle says.

Nicole opens the cell allowing them both access. With that, Nicole and Kyle begin to work on giving Nicole new upgrades and code into her system. They both head to the main computer as Nicole access the computer. She continues to see the Freedom Fighters and Team Dark fighting against the Drone.

"I hacked into the system. Now it's time for me to shut this thing down," Kyle says.

Kyle continues to type on the keyboard and hack into the Drone's system. Soon, the drone shuts down and collapses on the ground. Nicole sees it on the screen and is relieved. Suddenly, the Drone turns itself back on and begins to attack again.

"Oh no," Nicole says in concern.

Then turns to Kyle, "What happened?"

Kyle types on the computer as he says, "The Drone must have a backup power source and it's not connected to the main energy source. I don't think I can hack it as of now."

"What do we do?" Nicole asks.

"It's time for Plan B," Kyle says.

Nicole nods her head in reply. Kyle then types on the computer as Nicole sees the screen next to her. She sees Kyle altering her data as she looks at her hands to notice them glowing. Soon, her body begins to glow and Nicole begins to receive new upgrades and abilities into her system. Soon, Nicole stops glowing and looks at her hands with a confused expression on her face.

Kyle takes a deep breath, "There. The upgrade is finished."

"What do I do?" Nicole asks.

"Why don't you test them out?" Kyle replies.

Nicole looks at her hands with curiosity. She then summons a naginata and also changes it into a sword. She then uses her nanites to create energy balls.

"What do you think?" Kyle asks.

"This… this is amazing," Nicole says, impressed.

"And don't worry, your new powers drains less of your energy," Kyle says.

"I have to admit, I'm really impressed," Nicole says.

Then Nicole says, "I need to help the others with that Drone before it hurts them and destroys something."

"Before you go, I must warn you about your powers," Kyle says.

"What is it?" Nicole asks.

"If you overuse the nanobots it will overheat your system and your nanites will overheat as well," Kyle says.

"I'll be sure to add a cooling system in the nanobots to prevent that from happening," Nicole says.

"I'll help install one. As of now, you better get out there and help your friends," Kyle says.

"Good luck Nicole," Kyle says.

Nicole smiles and says, "Thank you, Kyle."

"No problem," Kyle says.

Nicole hurries out to go help Sun and the others.

Kyle says, "Now to begin with one more thing."

Kyle then begins to type into his computer and hack into the G.U.N system. Then shows the video of the Freedom Fighters and Team Dark fighting against the drone.

"If I've done this right, I can put an end to Sgt. Miller's little game," Kyle says.

Kyle then continues to type on his computer about the situation with Sgt. Miller and the Drone Prototype.

Outside of the Detention Center, the Freedom Fighters and Team Dark continue to fight with the Drone Prototype. Sonic and Shadow spin dash, but the shield repels it. Sally, Antoine, Bunnie, and the others use their weapons to attack the Drone. However, the robot either jumps in the air or uses the protective shield to prevent being attacked.

Sonic takes deep breaths as he says, "There's no stopping that thing."

"Not even all of us at once are able to stop it," Bunnie says.

"What are we to do?" Antoine asks.

"I… I don't know," Sally says.

The Drone then begins to fire for another attack. The robot fires to attack Sally and Sonic. Suddenly, something fires at the robot on the side of its body. Sonic and the others become surprised to see the attack.

Sonic turns his head to the source and is shocked, "no way."

"It can't be," Sally says, surprised.

What they see is Nicole holding two Gatling guns in her hands. One of them has been aimed at the Drone, meaning Nicole is the source of the blast.

Nicole holds out the gun and is looking at the robot with anger. Sonic and the others are shocked to see Nicole holding a gun. The drone, then fires a blast at Nicole, but she uses a protective shield to keep safely. Sonic and the Freedom Fighters are in shock.

"I… I never knew Nicole could do that!" Tails says surprised.

Nicole says, "This is just one of the surprises that Kyle gave me."

Nicole then creates a purple energy ball in her hand. She throws the energy ball and it hits the gun. The energy ball electrocutes the gun until it falls off.

"Whoa! That was awesome, Nicole. That was way past cool," Sonic says.

Nicole turns to Sonic with a smile, "Yes. However, Kyle gave me more than what I've given."

Just then, the drone begins to move and lifts it's robotic leg to attack Nicole. Nicole dodges as the leg hits the ground. Nicole then summons a katana and slices the arm that tries to hit her off the robot.

"Wow! Nicole is incredible!" Amy cheers.

"Never knew she had it in her," Bunnie says.

Cream cheers, "Go Nicole!"

Nicole then jumps in the air and then uses the katana to stab the robot where the controls are. The robot soon begins to shut down and begins to fall. Nicole then stabs the robot where the eye is just in case. The robot collapses on the ground and is shut down. Sonic, Sally, and the rest, except for Shadow cheer happily for Nicole's victory. They all quickly run over and surround Nicole with excitement.

Sonic says, "Wow! That was crazy!"

"You were amazing Nicole," Sally says, hugging the holo-lynx.

Nicole blushes a little, "Thank you."

Sally lets go of Nicole as the holo-lynx looks at her hands.

She stares at them and says, "I'm surprised to see how much power and abilities I have. I guess Kyle did a really good job keeping his end of our deal."

In the Detention Center, Kyle continues to type on the main computer. The screen shows cases of different attacks from the criminal organization to G.U.N Drone Prototype missions. At the same time, the data is being downloaded and being sent to G.U.N's commander.

Kyle thinks, "Seems that I'm able to find a lot more data. So Sgt. Miller is behind the attack. I have to be sure I finish collecting as much data about the criminal organization."

Back outside of Freedom HQ, Sonic and the others are still amazed to see Nicole using new powers, but also surprised about Kyle living up to his promises, especially Team Dark.

"I must admit, I am rather surprised that Kyle kept his word," Shadow says.

"Yes. He gave me new upgrades and abilities just like he said," Nicole says.

"So he didn't alter the data on the news. However, I have to make sure he isn't deceiving us, and I'm not fond of liars," Shadow says.

Shadow then walks away and makes his way towards the Detention Center.

"Where are you going?" Sally asks.

"I'm going to see Kyle in the Detention Center. I have to be sure that the hacker doesn't cause trouble," Shadow says, and continues to walk to the Detention Center.

Sonic, Nicole, and the others follow after Shadow. Shadow reaches the Detention Center and walks down stairs to see Kyle working on the main computer.

Kyle turns his head to see Shadow, "Yeah?"

Sonic and the others hurry inside to see Kyle working on the computer.

Kyle turns his head, "Hello everyone, what can I do for you? How was your battle against the robot?"

"Crazy and tough," Sonic answers.

"But we were able to defeat it, and it's all thanks to you," Nicole says.

"You're welcome," Kyle says.

Sally walks over and asks, "If you don't mind me asking, why do you want Nicole's data and copy of her AI program?"

Kyle frowns as he stops typing the program.

He then answers, "To create a friend."

Sonic and the others become confused to hear it.

"I was an orphan my whole life and was abandoned when I was an infant. Even though I'm an expert with computers, I always wanted a friend. When I first met Nicole and knew about her programming, I decided to use the AI program to create a virtual friend of my own," Kyle sadly explains.

"I'm guessing you want an AI with emotion, senses, and personality," Sally replies.

Kyle smiles and says, "That's right, princess."

"This will be interesting," Nicole says.

Omega asks, "Apologize for my interruptions, but what will we do about the man responsible for the attack and who is a well known traitor?"

"You're right. We need to find Sgt. Miller and make him answer for his crimes," Shadow angrily says.

Rouge quickly says, "Hold on boys. We have no clue where Sgt. Miller is. And what's more, we don't even know if he's going to send any more robots to attack us and the city since he knows Kyle is in the city."

"Don't worry, he won't get away. Not after what I did," Kyle says.

The Freedom Fighters and Team Dark look at Kyle with confused looks.

"What will that be?" Rotor asks.

Kyle winks his right eye, "I made sure the Commander knows about Sgt. Miller's conspiracy and his action of sending the robot after us and you guys. He and G.U.N will apprehend him at this very moment."

"Hmm, if I didn't know better… I say you're even craftier than me," Rouge says, showing a smirk on her face.

Kyle smirks, "Hacking is considered a crafty activity and know that it can be quite competitive."

In a dark room, Sgt. Miller realizes that his Drone has been destroyed and knows that it will be a matter of time until Team Dark reports to Commander Tower of his ambitions. He deletes all the data and takes part of the computer.

"There. I have got rid of every data and destroyed the computer. Now I need to get out of here and go into hiding before anyone discovers this," Sgt. Miller says, bitterly.

Suddenly, Sgt. Miller hears a knock on the door. He tries to remain calm as he opens the door. However, he is shocked to see G.U.N soldiers standing around the front of the door and having their guns pointed at him. Sgt. Miller realizes that his time is up. He raises his hands and one of the G.U.N soldiers arrested him.

Sometime later, at the Detention Center, Tails, Rotor, and Nicole watch Kyle typing on his computer. Shadow then hears beeping sounds. He takes out a communicator and answers it.

"Hello," Shadow says.

Just then, a firm voice says, "Agent Shadow, we have received an important message that Sgt. Miller sent one of our prototypes to attack you and the informant."

"Yes. He did. Kyle explained everything that Sgt. Miller has been in ties with a secret organization. He was able to hack into the system and sent you the data about Sgt. Miller's intentions and a video about the robot attack on a city called New Mobotropolis," Shadow says.

Shadow then continues to explain about what happened and how they meet up with Sonic and Tails. What surprises the Commander is the fact that Kyle helped them stop the robot and gave Nicole upgrades to defeat it.

"I see. It's rather surprising that Kyle helped out on this," Commander Tower says.

Rouge says, "I must admit, that hacking and programming really saved the day."

Sometime later, another G.U.N ship arrives on the grounds outside of the Great Forest. It's time for Team Dark and the G.U.N agents to head back to Headquarters.

"Are you sure you can't stay a little longer?" Cream asks, sadly.

"Chao Chao," Cheese says.

"I'm afraid so. We need to get back to G.U.N HQ to continue our work," Rouge says.

Shadow nods his head in reply.

"Yeah. I'm sure they'll come back," Sonic says.

Then turns to Team Dark, "Maybe next time, we can visit i Knothole and show you around."

"Sounds good to me. I might come here when we're on vacation," Rouge says.

Shadow simply nods his head in reply, "The Commander removed Kyle's records and he'll be staying in New Mobotropolis."

"I think it's a good idea. He's been very helpful. Especially to Nicole," Sally says.

"Where is he anyway?" Rouge asks.

"He's with Nicole. She used the Nanites to build a new house so she's helping him settle in," Sally says.

In Kyle's new house, the teen computer wiz is already at work. He types on the computer as works on the programming. Nicole appears behind Kyle and walks towards him.

Nicole says, "Hello Kyle."

"Hey Nicole. Thank you for making my house," Kyle says,

"You're welcome. So what are you doing?" Nicole replies.

Then giggles, "I hope you're not going any hacking."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anymore hacking. Well, probably to Dr. Eggman, and his robots. Makes me wish I would have done that a long time ago," Kyle says.

Nicole giggles, "I'll be Sonic won't say no to that."

"Anyway, I'm working on my new friend. I'm just about finished with her programming," Kyle says, and finishes typing on his computer.

Just then, a new Mobian lynx appears in front of the pair. The Holo-Lynx looks like Nicole. She wears a purple tank top, blue jean shorts, and a purple hat that has a blue belt strap around it. She has blue eyes and her long black hair that is in a pony tail.

Kyle smiles and says, "Hello."

"Um hello. Who… who are you?" The new Lynx asks.

"My name is Nicole," Nicole introduces herself.

Kyle says, "And I'm Kyle. I created you and you're around friends now."

"Um okay. But… but can I ask you something else?" The new lynx asks.

"What's that?" Nicole asks.

"Who am I?" The new Lynx asks.

Kyle then remembers, "You're right, you need a name."

Then Kyle has an idea, "How about Hikari?"

"Hikari?" The new lynx says.

She smiles and says, "I like it."

Kyle and Nicole smile with glee and the new friend, Hikari smiles as well.

Meanwhile, in a long building at Station Square, a Mobian is looking out the window to see the humans and mobians walking on the sidewalk or driving on the street. The mobian then turns to hear the door opening. Walking into the room is a Mobian Fox. She wears a black suit and walks to the desk.

The fox says, "Miller has been exposed and has been caught by G.U.N"

The mobian says, "Terminate his contract and his life."

The Mobian fox nods their head and leaves the office. The one walking out of the shadows reveals to be a brown colored Mobian Mammoth wearing a white suit and holds a brown cane in his hand.

He then says, "They'll have to learn that I control everything."
