Days Of Chaos

Two weeks later...
Knothole was gone.
The Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix were nowhere to be seen.

Robotnik sat on his throne with a huge smile on his face. It was finally
working out for him. The rebel leaders had been caught. The Guardian
was also under his power. He now controlled all of Mobius. Snivley had
been missing for days. He had no need for the little squirt anymore
anyways. He had the Hedgehog as his lackey at the minute, and the
Princess as his personal maid. The overweight overlander sat back in his
chair and sighed with content.

Miles away, in the heat of the Great Desert, were a band of animals.
They were all what was left of the resistance against Robotnik. Everyone
else had been captured and roboticized. There was no-one left. Bunnie,
Tails, Julie-Su, Mighty and Espio were all what was left of the Freedom
Fighters and the Chaotix. They had all given up.

"We might as well give ourselves up!" Mighty sighed, thumping his
back-pack with anger.

Everyone sighed and nodded. It seemed that there was no way out at all,
that Robotnik had indeed won. Tails looked up at his Aunt Bunnie with
teary eyes. He had lost a lot of people in the last few weeks, his big bro,
Aunt Sally and both of his parents again. Bunnie absent-mindedly put her
hand on the young kits head. She knew how he felt, she felt the same. She
missed Sonic and Sally as much as he did.

"But we cahn't just give ah-selves up now! Too much depends on ah
heads for us to just give it all up!" Bunnie exclaimed furiously.

Julie looked up. The heat was making her brain hurt. Their food supply
had almost run out, and they were forced to ration it. She put her head
down on her arms. She missed Knuckles, and she missed living on the
Island...

"Thats it!" She yelled, and jumped up.

Everyone looked at her in astonishment as the pink Echidna jumped
around, her robotic dreads swinging around her face.

"I can't believe I didn't think of this before! The Island! Robotnik hasn't
glanced at it yet, we could get there and use the Emeralds against him and
get everyone back!" She yelled.

Julie looked over towards the other four, who were sitting up and
shaking their heads.

"It can't work." Mighty sighed, and burrowed his fingers into the sand.
"Knuckles and Sonic are the only ones who can use the Emeralds, and
even they cant Control it's Chaos at times."

Espio, who had so far been in thought, sat up and looked into Mighty's
face, his eyes shining with glee.

"Who else do we know who can...how do I say this...Control Chaos?" he
asked.

Everyone else looked at him blankly. Tails' face lit up with a sudden
understanding.

"Chaos Control! Shadow! He can...but he's helping Ro-butt-nik now."

Then his face was overcome with grief and sadness once again as he
remembered how his big bro could perform the same feat. Bunnie picked
him up and hugged him tight against her body. Everyone else looked
hopeful for the first time in ages.

"Then it's decided. We'll find Shadow in Robo-town and get him to help
us!" Espio exclaimed.

Mighty picked himself up. Julie hugged Bunnie, who was still holding
Tails. And together, they started the long trek back to Robotropolis.
