"Sonic!" A familiar voice shouted.
Sonic turned heel "Rob! long time no see!" Sonic said as the cloaked, aqua green hedgehog approached him.
"Aye, same be here fellow friend!" the cloaked hedgehog gestured extending his hand for Sonic to shake, Sonic gladly taking it.
"What be wrong with Maiden Sydney? She burst out of the medical hut in such a fury I've never seen." Rob asked with a note of concern in his voice.
"That's between her and me. We sort of had a disagreement after a short talk." Sonic said looking to the side narrowing his eyes.
"Aye, then I will not make it my buisiness." Rob said respectfully, "But I must ask, what brings ye here to Deerwood under such unexpected occations?"
"I was actually going to mention that. See, I'm in a pretty tight jam at the moment, and I'm going to need all the support I can get. Do have have any means of contacting other Freedom Fighter groups by any chance?"
"Of course my friend, and you'er welcome to it! What be the situation?"
"I'll make sure you know everything as I explain it to the other groups. This is going to be big."
"Well, I'll be happy to help a fellow 'hog, come with me!" Rob cheerfully instructed. Sonic nodded slightly and followed the cloaked hedgehog towards a large hut. Inside was a small table with several chairs, obviously a meeting room. A small desk sat in the corner with a file cabnet beside it, and off to another corner was a very large compter. Five monitor screen were embedded on it, one larger screen in the middle with two smaller ones on either side.
"Here ye go, this be it!" Rob said as his chest swelled with pride pointing toward the computer "Tis a beauty, tis not? Managed to swipe it from the High Sheriff after one of his previous bases were destroyed. Come, sit." Rob instructed Sonic to sit down in a small compter chair that sat in front of the machine. The cloaked hedgehog then punched in a few buttons on it's mother board as the monitors hummed to life; their soft glow illuminating the otherwise dark room.
"Just speak into that microphone as soon as contact is made to the other group's equipment." Rob instructed pressing a few more buttons.
"Ok, will do." Sonic replied, a pit of excitment welling in his stomach.
"Ok, now." Rob finally said after a few minutes.
Sonic let out a low, excited squeak as the words spilled from his mouth "Calling all available Freedom Fighter groups, this is an emergency! If you are within range of this message, please respond!" Sonic said into the mic. A few minutes passed, then the static began to buzz on three of the monitors, stopping when three faces appeared on them. They were: Knuckles; of the Chaotix, Lupe; of the Wolfpack Freedom Fighers, and Walt Wallabee; of the Downunda Freedom Fighters.
"Guys--and gal, I'm going to need you assistence as soon as possible, if not sooner. There's been a pretty urgent emergency, and I need EVERYONE involved we'er going to make this work!"
"Why, what's up Blue? Knuckles asked cocking his head as he rested his chin in the palm of his hand.
"You guys might think I'm crazy--" Sonic gulped hard "-- But it's Robotnik."
No words were said, the three faces stared with a mixture of concern and curiosity, Rob included from behind the seat Sonic sat in.
"Um, Sonic are you ok? Robotnik's dead, remember?" Knuckles said, confusion adorning his features.
"That's what me and the Knothole Freedom Fighters thought too, but we were wrong. He attacked us. I'm--I'm the only one left." Sonic said, his face turning slightly red with humiliation having admitted that. He then proceeded to tell the small group what he had told Sydney.
"Please, you've got to help me," Sonic choked slightly swallowing down every ounce of pride within him, a bitter pill indeed "I'm--I'm desparate. I don't know what else to do."
Everyone's faces went blank once more, having heard Sonic--one of the most arrogant, vain, and cocky people any of them had ever known--openly admit weakness in such a fasion.
"Oh dear, this is a moment I certainly need to cherish." Knuckles finally chuckled breaking the silence.
"You'er not helping, Knucklehead..." Sonic growled watching Walt reach up to catch a snicker.
"Ahem, getting back on subject--" Lupe gave a hard glare to her left as if someone was standing there "--My pack and I will be there. Robotnik is our common enemy after all, if unity isn't brought forth to stop him he will once again return to full power and become a terrorist to our planet. And like with what happened to Mobotropolis, if he don't act now who knows who he will take by surprise and conquer easily. Again, my pack will stand beside you."
"Same here dude, any long time bud of mine deserves a little help from yours truly. Besides, as Lupe said, if this isn't taken care of you KNOW it's gonna spread to my island. And that's a no-no."
"Hey maite, it might take us a lil doin' ta get where yeh live, but the D.U.F.F will be thair as soon as we can."
"Aye, my band of rebels may not be at service, but I will personally assist you." Rob spoke up placing a hand on Sonic's shoulder--announcing for the first time his presence."
Knuckles blinked at seeing the robed hedgehog "Er, Sonic, where exactly ARE you?"
Sonic perked slightly, he hadn't mentioned that. "I'm, er, in Mercia."
"Mercia?! Don't you think you'er a little far from home?"
"Considering if my home was still in one piece." Sonic gave a cold glare at the echidna.
"Whoa, whoa, sorry. No hard feelings, sheesh." Knuckles said quickly throwing his mittened hands up.
Sonic opened his mouth to reply, but was immidiately cut off by a knock on the door behind him and a familiar female voice.
"Rob? Are you in there? It's me, Sydney! I need to talk, is it ok for me to come in?"
"Oh no..." Sonic muttered under his breath.
"Maiden Sydney? Yes, do come in!" Rob said cheerfully as the female entered the room.
"Thank you I--Sonic?! What are you doing in here, you'er supposed to be in sick bay!" Sydney immidiately shouted apon seeing Sonic peak out from behind the side of his chair.
"Who died and made you my mother?" Sonic snorted slumping back down.
"I am your sister!" Sydney shot back folding her arms.
"Oh right. You lean this all of a half hour ago and already you think you can start bossing me around."
Looks of curiosity spread throughout everyone's faces at the mentioning of the word 'sister'.
Sydney suddenly blinked "You look like you'er about to cry. Again."
Sonic growled quickly running a hand across his face "I am not."
"Maiden Sydney, I think Sonic may be a bit little stressed over recent events. Teasing him may not be the best remedy at the given time." Ron said in a stern yet sympathetic tone, only causing Sydney to giggle. The faces on the screen just stared back, Knuckles smirked having noticed the obvious redness around Sonic's eyes the entire time.
"Getting back on subject..." Sonic growled "I want to thank all of you for agreeing to help me. You have NO idea how much this means to me."
"Heiy, no problem maite, that's what friends are for." Walt said giving two thumbs up.
The next few minutes were spent giving locations on where to meet up, as soon as plans were arranged the three parties exchanges bookbyes and signed out.
Sonic slowly spin around in his seat facing Sydney "What were you trying to do to me? Don't you know I have a reputation I need to keep in order!" Sonic growled.
"Oh right, big reputatioon. Didn't look like much to me from what I've seen."
"Oh shut up." Sonic muttered.
"Well," Rob spoke up breaking the two up "It'll be awhile before we get there. I suggest we prepair ourselves for the journey back to ye homeland." Rob eyed Sonic, his humble nature replaced by one of rock hard seriousness.
Sonic nodded "Yeah, I guess so. Thinking about it it seems like it's gonna be a much longer trip then it took to get me here."
"Aye, it will be. Remember, I am not fast as the wind like you."
"AHEM." Sydney coughed catching the two boy's attention "Do you honestly think I'm letting you two go by yourselves?"
"Maiden Sydney, this is a serious battle. It shouldn't concern one as frail as yo--"
"Frail my foot!" she emphasized her point by stomping her foot "I want to go. It's Robotnik's fault I've lived the life I have. If it wasn't for him I'd be with my real family! I want to help stop this guy as much as possible." She said solomly.
"Sydney, please--"
"Besides, it's been years since I've seen my homeland. I want to see how much has changed. It's my right!"
Rob face palmed, Sonic looking to the side with a scowl adorning his features.
"Fine, you want to come? Come. But I'm not gonna be responsible when you get your butt in trouble." Sonic said coldly. Have you ever felt as though you were being written in a script seriously abused by self insertion? Sonic couldn't help but think that.

If THIS doesn't start getting people to start throwing stuff at me, I dunno what will. I mean, I'm only taking Sonic completely out of character XP
