It has been a month since Thunder the Hedgehog and Team Enforcer freed Elemental City from Yomi's totalitarian rule. Now Thunder rules as the new emperor, ruling through respect instead of fear. Now Thunder is in his throneroom to answer questions and concerns from the people.

A Mobian ocelot with ice manipulation arrived through the door.

Ocelot: Lord Thunder, my family's farm was taken over by Yomi during his reign. We were hoping we could have rights to the farm back.

Thunder: Gladly. I will give you the rights to your family's farm back. Randy, see to it anything related to Yomi's control is out of their farm.

Randy: Yessir. (accompanies the ocelot to his farm)

Thunder: Next!

A Mobian echidna with storm manipulation arrived

Echidna: Mr. Thunder, my mother's been depressed since Yomi's thugs took my dad's life, and she attempted to take her own life, but lost the use of her legs. I just want my mom to smile again. Do you have any ideas?

Thunder: *whispers to Fiona* I didn't sign up to help with these kinda problems.

Fiona: Leave this to me, babe. I'm good with these problems.

Thunder: Very well.

Slash: Damn. A lot of people have had their lives destroyed because of Yomi.

Thunder: Indeed. NEXT!

A female Mobian skunk named Stacey arrived. She was colored like Fifi le Fume from Tiny Toons Adventures, with blue eyes.

Stacey: My name is Stacey Skunk. I came for your help, because Yomi's thugs attacked my workplace, and put some of my workmates and my boss in the emergency room. I managed to kill one of them in self-defense with a broken beer bottle, but I ran from the other one.

Thunder: I'll deal with this one myself.

Stacey: (hands him the address to her workplace)

Yomi: *tearing the room apart* WHERE IS THAT SKUNK BITCH!?

Thunder: HEY!

Yomi: Oh great, the emo brother of Sonic.

Thunder: That's lord of Elemental City to you. And I've been a better leader than you. A true leader serves his people, you only serve yourself!

Yomi: Really? *enters his Hokuto Ryuken stance* Let's test that theory, when I get through sending your worthless friends your rotting carcass! *dashes at him*

Thunder: *effortlessly holds him back*

Yomi: A miserable little nobody like you has no place here!

Thunder: You're right. YOU don't. *slams him into the ground with the strength of 20 elephants*

Yomi: (snarls, and attempts to use a Hokuto Ryuken technique on Thunder) Manju Maonken! (Lit. "Thousand-Hand Demonic Chime Fist")

His fist simply broke once he hit Thunder.

Yomi: GAAAAAAH!

Thunder: *smirks, grabs Yomi by the throat and launches up into the stratosphere like a rocket*

Thunder: You're not taking the city back. If I catch you there again, I won't be so merciful. *headbutts Yomi down to the ground like a meteor*

Yomi: LET GO OF ME, YOU BASTARD!

Yomi: GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Then Yomi crashed back into his new lair

Yomi: I f*cking HATE that hedgehog. (covered head to foot in bruises, and is missing several teeth)

Meanwhile

Thunder: Your store is back, madame.

Stacey: Thank you, Lord Thunder. (kisses his cheek)

Thunder: *rubs his cheek*

Stacey: I'll be sure to repay you in my own special way in the future.

Thunder: No need, ma'am

Stacey: (giggles) OK, snookums. (walks off)

Thunder: (flustered) "Snookums?"

Meanwhile with Yomi

Yomi: Un-freaking-believable! I am the true ruler of Elemental City! Not that odd-eyed emo piece of gutter trash!

Yomi Thug: I dunno. He seems like a better ruler. And it was YOU who allowed yourself to get beaten by him. Twice.

Yomi: Nobody asked you, dumb-ass!

Yomi Thug: You're crazy.

Then the Eggman Empire Scientist: Lien-Da the Echidna bursted in.

Lien-Da: And what's wrong with that? It's done wonders for me. *smiles sinisterly*

Yomi: Hello, Lien-Da. And goodbye. Get outta here.

Lien-Da: Oh I'm hurt, Kurogane. How could you have this little party without li'l ol' me?

Yomi: What do you want?Lien-Da: Why I'm here to help you, Kurogane. You need me.

Yomi: Yeah, like I need the flu.

Lien-Da: It's time you got an upgrade.

Yomi: And how can YOU make me strong enough to take him down?

Lien-Da: With a bio-enhancement. Behold, the Manticore Serum.

Yomi: Forget it, sweetheart. I don't need help from an Egg Boss.

Lien-Da: Perhaps my two most successful experiments will change your mind.

Then a purple octopus with abnormally long arms, and a tall, obese Hedgehog with strangely soft and cuddly fur entered.

Dow: Hiya!

Yomi: What am I looking at? An octopus made of silly putty and an enormous bag of vanilla pudding?

Lien-Da: This is Antonio the Octopus, and Dow the Hedgehog. My two most successful bio-experiments.

Yomi: Seriously? This one's as solid as a tar pit, and this one is a little soft in the center. *pokes Dow's fat belly*

Antonio: Want me to twist your nutsack off, and make you eat it, you emo triclops? Because that's what I'll do, if you make fun of my friends ever again.

Lien-Da: I think a demonstration is in order. Yomi, see if you can defeat them.

Yomi: With pleasure. *stabs Dow in the belly with his sword, but it didn't even hurt her.*

Dow's body was so soft and squishy it absorbed the impact of the blade and just sank deep into her belly fat.

Yomi: What the...?!

Dow: Hehehe! *launches the sword out of her belly before lifting Yomi up by his tail*

Yomi: LET ME GO!

Antonio: *enlarges his hand and engulfs Yomi's entire head* This mask has no air holes, pally.

Yomi: MMMFFFF! *taps out*

Antonio: (lets him go)

Yomi: *gasps for breath*

Lien-Da: Well?

Yomi: I accept. It's time I got a new look. Hold on. What's the catch?

Lien-Da; No catch. But there is one thing.

Yomi: What would that be?

Lien-Da: Your loyalty to the Eggman Empire, and you joining the Dark Egg Legion.

Yomi: I accept.

Lien-Da: Though my manticore formula needs more testing. Until then...*shoots bio-enhancement darts at two of Yomi's soldiers*

Yomi Thugs: *mutate and gain powers*

Yomi: What the Hell?

Lien-Da: Enough formula darts to enhance your whole army. You're welcome.

Yomi: Thank you.

Meanwhile in Elemental City

Luna: (playing with Alex)

Luna: (hugs Alex) My cute little godson.

Alex: Awex luff Loo-nah.

Luna: Auntie Luna loves ya too. (pokes his nose) Boop.

Alex: *giggles*

Luna: Good boy.

Stacey: (sees Alex) OMIGOSH! What a cute little lizard!

Slash: That's my son.

Stacey: (smiles at Alex) Hiya, little cutie-pie.

Alex: Hehe!

Stacey: (hugs Alex)

Alex: *sees her big, soft, fluffy tail swishing around and reaches for it*

Stacey: (lets Alex hug her tail)

Alex: *nuzzles her fluffy tail*

Stacey: Awwww.

Slash: He loves things that are soft.

Alex: *wraps her tail around him like a blanket and falls asleep*

Stacey: Awww...little cutie pie. (strokes his little head)

Alex: *purrs as he sleeps*

Stacey: (smiles) I love kids. And I'll gladly lay my life on the line to make sure they're happy.

Stacey: I'm also an assassin. If you need an assassin...*looks at Thunder* Or someone to keep you warm at night, lemme know.

Thunder: Neat. Would you like to be part of our team?

Stacey: Oh yes. I'd also like to keep you warm at night...handsome. *smirks*

Thunder: (blushes)

Later

Yomi: *having dinner with Amaya*

Amaya: *not eating and seems depressed*

Yomi: Something wrong, my beloved?

Amaya: I want someone with an honest line of work.

Yomi: *annoyed* I see. This again.

Amaya: I'm fed up with how you basically treated the city like it was a combination of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

Yomi: This "line of work" is how we have our wealth.

Amaya: Well you let this life completely corrupt you! That's it! I'm taking our autistic son, Felix, with me. A heartless man like you who treats the people of this city like dirt HAS NO FUTURE! *scoops up Felix and leaves*

Yomi: But Amaya, I love you.

Amaya: I hope you end up in a group home in the future, you three eyed monster in Mobian clothing! I used to believe you loved me. Now I see all you love is being a diabolical, tyrannical monster. *exits with Felix*

Yomi: (sobbing)

At the courthouse

Amaya: *files the divorce papers*

Judge: Custody to Felix Kurogane the Black Lion goes to Ms. Amaya the Lioness.

Amaya: Thank you. *goes back to Elemental City to make peace with Thunder*

(back in Elemental City)

Randy: *spots her* Well well well, what have we here? A sexy lioness looking for a place to stay? *tips his hat up and smiles charmingly*

Amaya: Hello.

Randy: You wouldn't be here for me, would ya, sugah-lips?

Amaya: I'm here to meet with Thunder.

Randy: Well, he's in the palace. How'd you like to take the scenic route? *flirty grin*

Amaya: (walks with him to Thunder's palace)

Randy: Hey boss, we got a very sexy visitor.

Amaya: Hello, Lord Thunder.

Slash: *sniffing her*

Amaya: *yelps*

Slash: You have the stench of Yomi all over you.

Amaya: I'm his ex-wife, because I was fed-up with how he let his power corrupt him, and how he made Elemental City become like a cross between Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. I want to get away from him.

Thunder: I can help you, ma'am. *feels something coiling around him* Nani?

Amaya: I can become a Naga, too. I can keep you warm at night with my coils. Anyone wrapped in my coils is in a safe haven.

Felix: (peaks behind Amaya)

Thunder: Hey there, little guy. What're you doing behind there?

Amaya: This is my son, Felix. He's really shy because he's a high-functioning autistic.

Thunder: Hi, little buddy.

Luna: Awwww, hi little cutie.

Felix: *hides behind Amaya*

Amaya: It's okay. C'mon out.

Felix: H-Hello.

Thunder: These are my friends, Luna the Octopus, Slash the Komodo Dragon, Randy Rattlesnake, Fiona Fox, and our team's newest member, Stacey Skunk.

Fiona: Thunder here is putting together a harem like other Hedgehogs do. And I'm headmistress.

Amaya: *smirks at Thunder* Well, count me in. *coils cozily around Thunder and snuggles up to him*

Felix: (hears a tiny coo, and sees Alex)

Felix: Hi there!

Alex: H-Hi! (smiles cutely, and crawls up to Felix)

Alex: (hugs Felix)

Felix: Aww, he's cute.

Alex: (nuzzles Felix)

Thunder: Cute.

Meanwhile at Yomi's lair

Yomi: GOD FREAKING DAMN IT! Now my ex-wife is affiliated with the man who usurped my territory!

Lien-Da: Oh did she?

Yomi: Yes!

Lien-Da: This is perfect. If we take back Elemental City, you can get your wife back, and I can have Thunder.

Yomi: Genius. Wait, what do you want him for?

Lien-Da: (reveals her egg)

Yomi: An egg?

Lien-Da: MY egg, to be exact.

Yomi: What does Thunder have to do with that?

Lien-Da: Easy, I'm gonna claim him as my mate. Even if it means terminating his worthless friends.

Yomi: I wasn't sure about you at first...but I like your conniving mind.

Lien-Da: Thanks.Lien-Da: This is going to be fun.
