******Timeline: A few moments after Josh crushed the tracking devices******
******Location: Rotor's workshop, Rotor went to lunch, but Sally is playing with the tricorder and monitoring Josh.******
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Five: War. . . and a new ally?
Dropping the tricorder when she noticed the snow on Nichol's holographic screen and played back what Josh said. "That arrogant son of a. . .noticing Bunnie Bit. . .unnie (^_^) Josh found the bugs and I think Tails could be in trouble come on we have to go rescue him," said a distressed Sally. "Right Sally-girl where to," asked an equally concerned rabbit. "Well the transmission ended a little more then a hundred feet out of Knothole, so lets hurry," finished Sally and ran out with Bunnie right behind.

******Timeline: Back to normal******
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well considering that Sally considers you her 'adopted' child I can safely deduce that she will indeed show up, and since she now has no way to monitor a 'potentially dangerous' human she will come to save you from 'a horrible fate'," Josh explained. So to wait for Sally the three started up a little conversation, mostly Tails telling about the war, people in Knothole, and filling in details that Sally left out. Soon Kim, as pre Josh's orders, announced that Sally and Bunnie were on their way towards them.
"Well it's about time, we were thinking that you would never get here," Josh yelled to the two out of breath females. After slowing their breaths and taking two seats offered by Josh, still out of it to be shocked from seeing two chairs appear out of nowhere. Creating four glasses of coke for the three Mobians and one human Kim started to introduce herself.
"Well Sally you and Bunnie shouldn't run that fast and for that duration, by the way I'm Josh's holographic, fully articulate, artificial intelligent, super computer, my name is Kim," Kim told the recuperating Mobians who at the moment were drinking heavily from their glasses. "So this is why you didn't need the tricorder, Kim here is an unbelievable piece of technology," Sally finished and drinking more of her drink to calm down, but looked over to find a pissed off Kim, "Oh is that all I am a 'piece of technology' Josh now gave a look to Sally saying 'now you did it' I maybe only photons and force-fields but I still have feelings and you hurt them," Kim now started to cry?
"How ya'll crying like that, hun. . . you have feelings?" Asked Bunnie, but Josh was comforting a distressed hologram. "Well," Tails started to explain to his 'aunts', "Kim is basically a human, she has several programs that allow Kim to act just like a human, even feel and have emotions, she really is the epitome of holographic technology." "Oh turning towards a recuperating Kim I am so sorry, I acted very rudely towards something I just didn't understand that you really are real, please forgive me," spoke a very sorry squirrel. "It's ok most of the people on Earth treated me the same, Josh redesigned me and hid me, perfecting my programming to show the Starfleet admirals, your forgiving." After the two shook hand/paws they all relaxed a little.
"There is a problem though with this place though," Kim started, "you know what it is all shook their heads well a giant SWATbot armada heading this way pointing towards a clearing is one." All jumped at this declaration and hid behind the trees, the table and chairs disappeared when they ran into the forest. When they found hiding spots the armada came out numbering about 150 SWATbots, really not good considering how close they are to Knothole.
"Kim," Josh began, "create a damping field around the robots and alter their location to a hundred miles away from here and get some phasers out, all set to kill." Instantly five items appeared, one in each of the present's hand/paw. It was metal, gray on the square part, on that part was a few buttons, and a black handle. "Ok just aim at a SWATbot and press the red button, it should be destroyed," Josh finished explaining and the three Mobians looked shocked, one shot, imposable.
"Fire!!" Yelled Josh, all caught the SWATbots by surprise and found that the phasers do work, one shot and their gone! Still with the aid in fire-power the Freedom Fighters couldn't stop them, and found themselves being boxed in. "Ok, enough of this, Kim phaser rifle, set to kill," Josh asked Kim, and received another gun in exchange for the phaser. While the Mobians gave cover fire Josh readied the rifle, it looked like a rifle version of the phaser except looked much more powerful. "Everyone out of the way, lets see if they can take this set to widespread?" Josh asked no one in particular.
All were out of Josh's way when he fired shot after shot, each taking between five to seven 'bots. After Just nine shots from the rifle the 'bots were destroyed and all of Knothole came to see what was all the commotion was about. "Josh I must congratulate you and personally ask that you stay with us, as a Freedom Fighter, will you?" Asked a hopeful Sally, seeing that all of Knothole looked pleased with the decision, even Sonic, Josh agreed. Josh and Kim became the newest Freedom Fighters and all were just fine with that.
