Rotor was still in Robotropolis and he struggled to keep undercover.
He ducked behind walls in the nick of time often, as robots passed through the
corridors. He finally made it to The Command Center. Using a wrench, Rotor
loosened the doorknob from its place, reached through the hole where the
doorknob used to be, and unlocked the door from the inside. He slipped the
wrench back in his pocket and entered the Command Center. But he encountered a
few robots, who presented new trouble. But Rotor ripped the wrench from his
pocket and hit them on the head with it, knocking them out cold. He quickly
retrieved the wrench he had thrown and continued on. Finally, there it was.
The Control Room. He had to make sure Robotnik wasn't in there. If this was a
mission, he really wanted it to be successful. He'd trash Robotnik's machines
and go. Or so he thought...
**********
Bunnie was hiding in an old Acorn ruin, when she heard a mechanical
voice of a Swatbot.
"Sensors identifying life forms near," said the Swatbot, "Comparing
DNA structure to that in file. Identified as Bunnie Rabbit, Freedom Fighter."
Bunnie gasped.
The Swatbot then said, "All units in Sector B-3, report to Sector C-9
immediately."
An army of Swatbots came at Bunnie's hiding spot. Bunnie scurried deeper
into the ruins of this old Acorn house. The clank of the Swatbots was getting
closer. Three Swatbots entered the structure and Bunnie burst out of the ruins.
Using all of her might, she swung at the Swatbots with her robotic left arm,
knocking them out cold. The other Swatbots aimed their weapons at Bunnie and
said, "Halt, Freedom Fighter!"
But Bunnie wouldn't take it. After all that had happened today, she
wouldn't become a prisoner. Not for herself, really, but for Sally, who was
still in the ruins. Only Bunnie knew about her, and if Bunnie herself didn't
take care of Sally, then she'd die unconscious in the ruins of a house of her
family. So Bunnie prayed that her pulse cannon had recharged, set it for kill,
and...
Blam!
The blast from her pulse cannon destroyed the Swatbots like never
before. An amazing explosion, almost like a fireworks display, occurred.
Unfortunately, the explosion was so powerful that it heaved Bunnie clear across
the ruins and the impact with the ground knocked her out cold.
**********
Sonic decided that with all that had happened today, he needed a rest.
He would have gone to Knothole, but he was too tired even for that. He crawled
into a hole in a tree trunk and made his bed there. And he slept...
**********
Rotor peeked through the window. There was no sign of Robotnik, so
Rotor entered, cautiously. Then, Rotor saw Antoine. He felt for Antoine's
pulse, but there was nothing. Rotor used a laser beam to cut through all the
chains and bolts holding Antoine to the chair. Then he bolted for the door. He
escaped from the Command Center and kept close to the walls in the Main
Structure. Rotor approached the exit and sighed once he found himself in the
open of Robotropolis. Rotor slowly moved through the polluted air. Robots of
all kinds patrolled and Rotor ducked behind factories and piles of trash,
docking bays and ruins. Rotor then approached the ruins of the Acorn house
which Bunnie had hidden in. Rotor turned, knowing he was close to the city
limits, but saw Bunnie there. Rotor pulled her from underneath the fallen
robots and checked for heartbeat. Suddenly, she woke up.
"Oh mah stars!" she cried, "Rotor! How'd y'all find me?"
"I was on my way out of Robotropolis," said Rotor, "with Antoine. He
appears to have been shot and it doesn't look good."
"Sally's in these here ruins," said Bunnie, "Her conditions don't
appear that great either."
Bunnie tried to approach the ruins and dig Sally out, but her robotic
limbs wouldn't react.
"I can't move!" she cried.
Rotor put his hand to Bunnie's left leg and shook his head. "Your
robotic limbs are malfunctioned," he said.
"Well, Rotor," said Bunnie, "Can't y'all fix these legs?"
"In my lab, yes," said Rotor, "Not in the middle of Robotropolis.
I'll go in for Sally. We've got to get you, Sally, and Antoine back to Knothole
immediately. And Sonic. Tails, oh, my precious life!"
Rotor crawled into the ruins and dragged out Sally's body, "She's
burnt badly."
Rotor carried Sally in his arms. How are we supposed to bring Antoine
and you back to Knothole?" asked Rotor.
Bunnie pulled out Nicole using her natural arm and said, "Can you fix
her?"
"As a matter of fact," said Rotor, "I've just the device."
Rotor pulled out a gizmo and plugged it into Nicole. Almost
instantly, Nicole rebooted.
"Nicole," said Bunnie, "can you repair my robotic parts."
Nicole said nothing, just zapped Bunnie, who thrust her right foot
outwards as her robotic limbs regained functionality, and said, "Rotor, I'll
carry Antoine. Let's go!"
Bunnie thrust Nicole back into her pocket and carried Antoine in her
arms. Rotor carried Sally and they all headed for Knothole.
In Rotor's lab, Nicole was attached to one of Rotor's machines and it
was plugged into some type of laser device. Sally was put on the operating
table and Rotor donned on some dark glasses to protect his eyes. He handed a
pair to Bunnie, who put them on, too. Rotor stepped back and turned on his
device. "Go, Nicole," he shouted.
"Engaging internal medicine system," said Nicole.
The laser device shot out a blinding white light at Sally. After only
a second, the light vanished and Rotor shut off his machine. Rotor touched
Sally's breast area, feeling for any signs that her heart was circulating blood.
Then, he felt it. It was weak, but it was there. Sally's heart was beating.
Rotor spoke into the PA system, "Get Doctor Quack here on the double!"
After only a few seconds, a middle-aged duck burst through the door.
He was white with a green lab coat and glasses.
"Yes, Rotor?" said Doctor Quack.
"We've a patient for you," said Rotor, motioning toward Sally.
Doctor Quack rushed out of the room and came back with an operating
table. He pulled Sally onto it and headed for the medical room.
Rotor then put Antoine on the table and engaged his machine again.
Rotor found a pulse on Antoine, too, after the process, which was a miracle
considering what had happened to Antoine, and called Doctor Quack back in for
Antoine. Rotor unplugged Nicole and said to her, "You did great!"
"Thank you, Rotor," said Nicole.
Rotor placed Nicole into his pocket and followed Sally and Doctor
Quack into the medical room. Doctor Quack then did a series of medical tests.
Sally then stopped breathing. Doctor Quack got Sally's breathing going again,
and she slowly got up.
"Where," stuttered Sally, "Where, where? Oh'm I?"
Antoine was quickly placed on the operating table. Doctor Quack
checked for breathing, and he found it. He then used the stethoscope and found
a very, very weak pulse. But Antoine had a pulse, and was breathing. Quentin
pinched Antoine's nose shut. Antoine's mouth opened, as a natural reaction to
try to get air, and Quack poured some medicine down his throat.
"He should recover soon," said Doctor Quack.
Sally now came to her senses.
"Sally, hon," said Bunnie, "where's sugah Tails?"
"I, I, I," stammered Sally, "I... I don't know!"
"Oh mah stars!" shouted Bunnie.
"And Sonic?!" shouted Sally.
"They a musta been captured by hoo-ha Robotnik!" declared Bunnie.
Antoine came to.
"Rotor, you are to keep control of Knothole," ordered Sally, "Bunnie,
Antoine, and I are going to search for Sonic and Tails."
"Yes, ma'am!" replied Rotor.
**********
Sonic pulled himself out of the tree. He pulled on his socks and
gloves. Then, he pulled on his shoes. The shoes. They had been given to him
by his Uncle Chuck, known as Sir Charles back then. Back then. Back then...
Sonic ran down the path and bumped into Sally.
"Sally Alicia!"
Sally Alicia (Princess Sally Alicia Acorn) and Maurice "Sonic" Takeshi
ran to the palace, where Sally and her father, King Acorn, completed all their
tasks to keep the planet running. But not all liked them. Especially a clan of
badgers, the clan which Spartacus, one of Maurice "Sonic" Takeshi's close
friends. But Spartacus did not support his clan's dislike for the House of
Acorn. But one badger was not enough to stop a whole clan from believing
something.
As Sally and Maurice entered the palace of Acorn. But, as Sally tried
to get to the Throne Room, a hand grabbed her and Maurice. The hand belonged to
Rosie, Sally's mentor, and Julaya, Sally's nanny, accompanied Rosie.
"Get no closer, Alicia!" whispered Julaya, who always used Sally's
middle name, "Doom is near for Acorn and we must not let it achieve us as well!"
"What do you mean?" asked Sally.
"Yeah," said Maurice, "what's going on?"
"See for yourselves," replied Rosie.
Rosie led Julaya, Sally, and Maurice onto a banister overlooking the
Throne Room. Julian, son of Ivo, the King's warlord, was in front of King
Acorn. But he had a new uniform on. And an army of Swatbots were surrounding
the King, apparently under Julian's control.
"Warlord Julian is no more," announced Julian. "From this point in
time, I am Ivo Robotnik. And you, Sir Acorn, are banished, to the Zone of
Silence forever!"
The Zone of Silence was an alternative Zone invented by Ixis Naugus,
the king's former wizard.
"You'll never get away with this!" shouted King Acorn.
"I don't see anybody stopping me," replied Robotnik, "and while you're
there, say hello to Ixis, the Zone's inventor, and Kodos, your former warlord!"
And with that, the Swatbots opened the portal to the Zone of Silence
and released the King into it. He was falling into the Zone of Silence and
nobody could save him, he would be imprisoned forever...
Sally and Maurice stared in horror, but Maurice then realized that he
was now Sonic, and his thoughts ended. Maurice vanished. As did the
King. As did any hopes of ever finding him...
"Sonic" awoke from his daydream. This flashback wave of the past had
caught him by surprise and now realized his legacy: not to defeat Robotnik, but
to overthrow him, and return Mobius to King Acorn. But now he only wanted to
get to Knothole. Sonic ran down the path toward Knothole, but something caught
his eye. It was a device of some sort. Sonic picked it up. It had a flashing
red LED (lighted electronic device) and a yellow button.
"I wonder what this could be," thought Sonic, "or what this would do."
Sonic pressed the yellow button. The red LED stopped flashing,
displaying static red, and then turned green. Part of the forest, air, and
trees moved upward. The planet itself seemed to shift as a cliff was revealed
behind this amazingly camouflaged area. Sonic walked out onto the cliff and
looked down. He saw a village of foxes. But one of them caught his eye. It
was closer to a yellow color than the orange of the others. But Sonic's
thoughts ended as one of them saw him.
"Intruder!!" shouted the fox.
One of the foxes, apparently the weapon holder, armed his gun and
aimed at Sonic.
"3... 2... 1..." he said, "ready... aim... fire!"
"No!" shouted the yellow fox, leaping at the weapon master, "Hold your
fire! I know him!"
The yellow fox was someone Sonic knew too. It was...
