Chapter 31: "Suprises"

Day 6
Station Square
9:35 A.M.

	Amy and her group returned to Station Square, where Tails, Bane, 
and Shalita were waiting.
	"Hey gang! What's happening?" Tails asked.
	"Not much. We found Birdie's parents!" Sonia said.
	"Oh good!" Shalita said.
	"Congrats on beating Eggman," Amy said to Tails.
	"Thanks! It was real tough!" Tails said.
	"Hey, I'll catch up with you guys later. I need to take care of 
something," Shalita said, taking off.
	"Is she okay?" Amy asked.
	"She's a lil mad because the Mayor still won't let Sonic back 
into the city," Tails said.
	"I dunno about you guys, but there's something funny about that 
girl," Sonia said.
	"Aww, yer paranoid, Luv," Chip siad.
	"Maybe..." Sonia said.
	The Station Square Freedom Fighters came around the corner, 
finding them. "Hey! Fellow Adventurers! What's the haps?!" Jett called.
	"Not much. What about you guys?" Chip asked.
	"Not much, though we DO miss that Knuckles dude," Jett said.
	"Did someone call my name?" a voice called from above. Everyone 
looked up. "Knuckles!"
	"Hey guys, you didn't think I'd leave without sayin goodbye?" 
Knux asked. He waved to Sonia. "Hey Sonia!"
	"Former boyfriend?" Chip teased.
	"Cute," Sonia smirked.
	"Where's Sonic?" Knux asked.
	"Good question," Sonia said.
	"Here! I'm here!" a figure said, running up to them. He was in a 
cloak, as was the person next to him. Sonic pulled off his hood. "Sorry, 
I had to sneak by the guards. Look, I'm gathering everyone at the 
Station Square Hotel. Sierra, Cyrus, Trevor and Big are there already."
	"What's going on?" Amy asked.
	"A BIG suprise, Sonic winked and ran off.

	Just about everything but the Station Square Resturant was closed 
that day, as Sir Charles and Benadette quickly learned.
	"I wonder what all has happened to my son since that night we were 
captured," Bernadette pondered.
	"Well, I raised him to be a spectacular freedom fighter. He's done 
the world a lot of good before I was found out and captured," Sir Charles.
	"Did you ever tell him he was adopted?" she asked.
	"No, I never got a chance to explain that-" Sir Charles started.
	"I thought I'd find you two here," a familiar voice said. They 
looked up to see Sonic and a cloaked figure.
	"Sonic!" Benadette said, hugging him. "You're okay!"
	"See Bernie? I told you the kid can take care of himself," Chuck 
said.
	"I missed you too, Unc," Sonic said, hugging him.
	"Who's your friend, dear?" Benadette asked, as the cloaked figure 
sat at the table.
	"Oh, I am so sorry. Let me introduce myself," she said, taking off 
her hood. "I am Queen Aleena."
	Bernie covered her mouth, looking wide-eyed. "My goodness....I...
I never thought I'd ever meet you!"
	"Aleena! It's good to see you again!" Charles said, hugging her.
	Bernie stared. "You know the queen?" she asked quietly.
	"Yes. She's my sister-in-law," Chuck chuckled softly.
	"Sister in-law? B-but....what about Sonic then? Wouldn't that make 
him-"
	"Prince Sonic, heir to the throne?" Sonic finished.
	Bernie didn't know what to say. She fainted.
	Sonic looked up to Aleena. "Huh. She took that really well."
	Chuck looked at Sonic. "You knew...?"

	By late afternoon, everyone was gathered on the patio of Station 
Square Hotel. Now if only Sonic would show up...
	Amy looked out towards the beach. "Hey, what's that?" she pointed. 
Everyone looked down and saw 4 cloaked figures approaching them. As they 
came up, they lost the cloaks and everyone could plainly see the Royal 
Family. Sonic was actually wearing a shirt! And a belt with a sword 
strapped on. Next to him was Uncle Chuck and Bernadette. And on his 
other side was Queen Aleena herself.
	A LOUD cheer arose as they entered the patio area. Sonia ran up 
to Sonic and hugged him, then Aleena. Uncle Chuck hugged her. "So I 
finally meet my niece!"
	Sonic looked at everyone. "I want to thank ALL of you for assisting 
us on our quest to stop Robotnik. It's been a long and tough battle, 
but we are almost at the peak preformance of what we can do. If we keep 
going, we WILL win this war. Thank you, from ALL of us. You have the 
pledge from the royal family of assistance when need."
	They cheered LOUDER as 7 tiny chao pushed their way to the front.
	"Sonic!" Chaima called. "The Chao finals are tommorrow! You comin 
to watch me?"
	"I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Sonic smiled. The chao 
cheered.
	"How touching," an icy female voice hissed. Everyone turned. 
Standing there was a black hedgehog woman with a batallion of SWATbots.
	"Who are you?" Sonic demanded.
	"I am Shadow, Mistress of Night. You are the royal family, 
yes?"
	"So? What do you want?" Sonic asked.
	"One thing and I'll be on my way. I want the chao."
	"WHAT?! Like they can just be taken," Sonic growled. "And from 
the looks, you work for Robotnik."
	"I work for NO one. I want those chao. They have special powers 
you could never dream of."
	"Yeah right lady, Like I'd EVER hand them over to you!" Sonic 
yelled.
	"Be that way. SWATbots! ATTACK!" Shadow shouted.
	The robots lunged forward, attacking the spectators.
	"Grrr!" If I had my medallion, I could blow those guys away!" 
Sonic growled.
	"Sonic," Knux said. "The medallions are back on my island. I can 
go get them!" Knux said.
	"Hold that thought Knux. Let's do this the old-fasion way!" Sonic 
said, getting into a fighting stance.
	"Right!" he said.
	There was a big battle between the robots and the others. But the 
freedom fighters had something the SWATbots didn't. Brains. Strength. 
Strategy.
	The battle was over, the SWATbots defeated.
	The 7 chao surrounded Shadow.
	"Do you give, Lady?" Chaima asked.
	"I've only begun to fight, children!" Shadow said, fading away. 
"We shall meet again!"
	"Okay, THAT was weird," Sonic grumbled.
	"Hey Sonic," Sierra called. "I'm gonna take the boys back to 
Robotropolis. See ya there later on?" Sierra asked.
	"Yeah. Who all is goin?" Sonia asked.
	"Bunnie, Antoine, Chip, Trevor and Cyrus," Sierra said.
	"Okay see ya back there in a few days," Sonic said, hugging his 
mother.

Mayor Justin Blaze's Office
6:38 P.M.

	Shalita walked into Justin's office.
	"'Lita! Sweetie! How are you?!" Justin asked.
	"Stuff it, Blaze. You need to let Sonic back into the city."
	"Are you nuts?" Justin asked. "I saw that guy slobbering all 
over you!"
	"You are such a fool, Blaze. That's why I left you. If you don't 
let him into the city, you can ruin EVERYTHING," Shal growled.
	"Are you still at it?" Justin sighed.
	"HEY! Chaos is still out there. I just know it. If Sonic doesn't 
stop her, everything will be washed away, and not just MY plans!"
	Justin sat up. "What can Chaos do?"
	"She can wipe out this entire city, hunting everyone down until 
she found me. Her fury and hate has clouded her mind, won't know what 
she's doing. The longer Sonic ponders this situation, the more he'll 
remember. I won't let this happen."
	"But sweetheart, I love you. I love you for who you are, not who 
you become." Justin whined.
	"Let Sonic back into the city.....NOW!" Shalita barked.
	"But Pumpkin, I'LLLLLLLLLLLLLL let him in now!" Justin yelped, 
threatened as Shalita stabbed her Crystal Sword into the desk.
	She growled, pulling out her sword, and patting Justin's cheek. "Good boy."
	She walked out, sneering back at Justin.
