Come Out Wherever You Are
(Sonic Underground: Theme)
(Ayla's Theme Song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
Queen Aleena:*off-screen* The life of a Freedom Fighter is hard. And the sacrifices are many. In these dark days, only an elite few live normal lives. All because of one evil presence.
(Ayla's POV)
*Today, Sonic & I were searching around our secret base for Sonia. We found her in her room, looking at a piece of paper in her hands*
Sonic: Hey, sis.
Ayla: Sonia!
*She seemed to snap out of a thought she was having & turned to us*
Sonia: Oh, sorry. What?
Sonic: Cyrus wants to see us pronto.
*Sonia looked back at the paper she was holding*
Ayla: What's that?
Sonia: Oh, nothing. Let's go.
*We were now driving in the van to the rendezvous point*
Manic: Yo. Need a scan here.
Sonic: Hey, Sonia.
*She was looking at that paper again*
Sonia: What?
Sonic: You wanna scan for uglies?
Sonia: Oh, sorry. *she pressed a button & the scanner appeared* No Swat-Bot surveillance detected. We're clear.
*Manic then pressed a button on the dashboard & a secret entrance appeared on the side of a building. We went inside & then down an elevator. Then we got out of the van & walked down a hallway. The boys then noticed Sonia's behavior*
Manic: Hey, man. What's bugging her?
Sonic: I'm guessing it's something to do with that paper in her pocket.
Ayla: You and me both.
*Manic then sped-walked to catch up with Sonia & than accidentally, on purpose, bumped into her*
Manic: Whoa! Sorry, sis.
*He then handed the paper to Sonic. I read it over his shoulder*
Sonic: What's a De - butt -ante?
Manic: Got me. But it sure looks fancy.
Ayla: I think that's pronounced "Debutante Ball", Sonic. And I think my friend Sally told me once that a Debutante Ball is sort of a debut event for Princesses.
Sonic: Yuck! Look who's in charge. Bartleby!
Ayla: Oh, great. Lord Pain-in-the-Neck.
Sonia:*off-screen* Guys! Look at this!
*We ran to the next room & saw a giant hologram of a ship. Cyrus was standing in front of it*
Cyrus: Take a look at Robotnik's new toy. He calls it the "Predator."
Sonic: Looks like it's gonna be one mondo-huge ship.
*Manic slipped in invitation back into Sonia's pocket*
Cyrus: Fortunately for us, some assembly is still required. And this is the key component. *a small holographic of a tube appeared next to the ship* An organically grown Brain. Twelve hours from now, it'll be mature.
Sonic: He's putting a brain in a plane?
Ayla: Just when I thought he couldn't get any sicker.
Sonic: Why?
Cyrus: To hunt Freedom Fighters.
Sonic: Then maybe we should hunt the brain.
Cyrus: It's not that easy, Sonic. That brain is is genetically interwoven with a diamond titanium composite, so it's virtually indestructible. Once the Brain is mounted, it'll transform the ship into a living creature with an impenetrable skin.
Sonia: So, how does this thing hunt?
Cyrus: Here's a simulation. It's equipped with a carbon seek unit which detects UnRoboticized people. There'll be no place to hide! It will travel the world. Capturing and bringing back Freedom Fighters to Robotropolis.
Ayla: Where they'll all be Roboticized!
Sonic: We gotta stop -
Cyrus: That's where this comes in.
*He pulled out a metal rod & handed it to Sonic*
Sonic: Oh, goodie. A metal bar.
*Cyrus took it back & stomped over to a counter & placed the Sleeper on top of a computer*
Cyrus: It's a biomechanical override. It's called a Sleeper.
Sonic: I knew that.
Ayla: Sure you did.
*The Sleeper went inside the computer*
Sonia: What's it doing?
Cyrus: Assimilating and alternating the molecular structure. Plant this on the ship before they install the Brain. *he pulled on a control stick & the computer moved* And we control the Predator. You've got twelve hours. Think you can do it?
Sonic: Are chili dogs a basic food group?
*I rolled my eyes at that question*
*That night, outside the Royal Palace, we were all ready for our mission. Sonic had painted green stripes on himself for camouflage & Sonia was at an computer*
Sonic: Okay. Let's do it!
Sonia: Wait a minute, Sonic. Let's recap.
Ayla: Now, Sonia & I set the explosives to make we're going after the Brain.
Sonic: Then, when the Bots go after you, I tunnel under here. And slap the thingamajigy on the ship.
Manic: Then I can distract them, so you three can escape.
Sonic: So, can we get to it?
*Manic handed Sonic a little box*
Manic: Remember, when the light flashes, it's time to spin.
Sonic: Outta here!
*He zoomed towards the palace. Sonia & I then started to head to our position*
Manic: Good luck, big sis and little sis.
Ayla: You too, Manic.
*We then ran to get into place*
*Sonia & I soon arrived at our position. Sonia, looked up at the palace with a dreamy look in her eyes. Her mind was wandering again. I was about to snap her out of it, when suddenly, two Swat-Bots came up to us. Each of them grabbed us*
Swat-Bot: PRIORITY ONE HEDGEHOGS.
Ayla: Sonia!
*She snapped out of her daydream & saw the Swat-Bots*
Sonia: No! *she got free, but bumped into another Swat-Bot. it grabbed her, along with the other Swat-Bot. I was able to get free by slicing off the arm of the Swat-Bot holding me with my Ring Blade. just then, the Swat-Bots holding Sonia flew away* Ayla! Run! Find Sonic and Manic! Hurry!
Ayla: What about you!?
Sonia: I'll be okay! Hurry!
*I ran & quickly found Sonic*
Ayla: Sonic! *he looked at me* It's Sonia!
*He looked up & saw the Swat-Bot carrying Sonia to the palace*
Sonic: Bummer-may-horus!
Sonia: Sonic! Ayla!
*They went inside*
Sonic: We're coming, sis! *I got out my board as we zoomed towards Manic* We're going in. When you see the first explosion, do your stuff.
Ayla: And be careful.
Manic: Luck guys.
*We both zoomed towards the palace. Sonic then tunneled under the wall & I followed him. We came out, in-between Sonia & Sleet*
Sonic: I bet you're wondering why we called this meeting.
Sleet: Priority one! Hedgehogs!
Ayla: Right here and at your service, Pizza Face!
*He then fell backwards into the hole we came out of*
Sonic: Don't cha hate when that happens?
*Suddenly, a spotlight shone on us. Sonic & I summoned our instruments & blasted the Swat-Bots with lasers*
Sonia: Nice shot.
*More Swat-Bots were on their way. Sonia summoned her keyboard as they fired at us. She played & pink smoke filled the area*
Sonic: All right. Now you two do the Brain, I'll do the Predator.
Sleet: Find them!
Ayla: Where do we meet you?
Sonic: Stay in there. I'll come back for ya.
*He zoomed away. The smoke suddenly cleared. She played again & made more smoke. The Swat-Bots then bumped into each other, destroying themselves. We then ran inside. Sonia was about to go set the Sleeper when I saw something suspicious*
Ayla: Hold it.
*I pointed at an orange ball on a table*
Sonia: Let me guess. Dingo again?
Ayla: Yep. *I stepped up to him* When are you two chowder heads going to learn? I can see right through your dumb disguises everytime.
*I kicked the table to the floor as Sonia set a explosive to the Brain*
Sonia: That should do it.
Ayla: Great.
*Just then, Sonic came zooming in*
Sonic: Hey, girls!
Sonia: You two ready to blow this popsicle stand?
Sonic: Considering the popsicle stand is about to blow, the answer is yes.
*He grabbed Sonia & I got out my board. We then zoomed out of there. The place blowing up behind us & Manic working his magic outside. We then caught up with him*
Ayla: Mission accomplished!
Sonic: Let's beat feet!
*Manic got on his board*
Manic: I'm outta here.
*Sonia got on her bike*
Sonia: Right behind you!
*We zoomed home*
*We made it back home. The next morning, the boys & I were having a meeting*
Sonic: I don't get it, guys. She could have super spinner out of there before any Bot could lay a hand on her.
Manic: Let's ask her about it, but be cool. Don't get her all crazed.
Sonic: Cool? Hey, that's my middle name.
*Just then, we heard the door opening*
Ayla: Guys, I'll ask her. You'll just probably make her angry.
Sonia: Morning, guys.
Ayla: Sonia, are you feeling okay?
Sonia: Yes. I feel fine. Why?
Ayla: It's just . . . Well . . . You've been a little distracted these past few days. Ever since you got that invitation.
Sonia: What? Oh, I . . . *she looked ready to cry* You wouldn't understand!
*She ran out of the room in tears before I could stop her*
Manic: That was a good try, little sis. Unfortunately, we still don't know what's going on.
Sonic: True. But I think I know how to find out.
*Sonic went over to Bartleby's mansion & found out that she had been invited to the Debutante Ball. The reason she was so upset was because she didn't think she could go. Hearing that, I kinda felt bad for Sonia. If it wasn't for Robotnik, she would have been able to go to that ball without any problems. I just imagine her & Mindy going shopping together for new gowns*
*Ayla singing*
*in her mind*
Her outfit is chosen with the greatest of care
(Ooh)
She does the same when she does her hair
Oh, she wears what she wears with pride
(Pride)
It reflects what she feels inside
She makes an impression wherever she goes
She makes an impression
It's more than her clothes
She makes an impression
You bet you won't forget
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
(She makes an impression)
It's not the store or the designer's name
(Ooh)
It's not the price
She won't play that game
But the moment the girl steps out
(Steps out)
You can tell what she's all about
She makes an impression wherever she goes
She makes an impression
It's more than her clothes
She makes an impression
You bet you won't forget
(She makes an impression)
She makes an impression
(She makes an impression)
She makes an impression
She makes an impression
*He then told me that Bartleby had convinced Robotnik to make it a Masquerade Ball. That way she could still go. Which I thought was a great idea*
*We put on masks & walked up behind Sonia & Manic, who were talking to Cyrus on a computer*
Cyrus: We cracked the code and we're testing for pilots. You guys wanna try?
Manic: Oh, we're on our way.
*He hung up*
Ayla: On our way where?
*They turned back to us & were surprised to see our masks*
Manic: What the - ?
Sonic: This is what all the best people are wearing to the Debutante Ball.
Sonia: Sonic, Ayla, what did you do?
Ayla: Well, it was mostly Sonic. But our friend, Bartleby, just fixed it so a certain sister of ours can go.
Sonia:*crying* You did that for me?
Sonic: Well, Manic helped. He stole the invite.
Sonia: Oh, you guys!
*She hugged me & Sonic*
Sonic: Oh, what are ya! Oh, come on, sis! Don't wrinkle the fur!
Sonia: Imagine! Me! Going to the Debutante Ball!
*We summoned our instruments & played a song*
*Sonia & Ayla singing*

Manic: Uh, I hate to break this up. But don't we have to be somewhere?
*We met up with Cyrus at his base. Sonic was in a simulation machine*
Cyrus: To highjack the Predator, and alert the passengers safety, it'll take alertness, agility, and instinct.
Sonic: No problem-o.
Cyrus: Don't forget, you've got passengers on board. So you've gotta maintain a safe angle and good flight attitude.
Sonic: I've got a way cool attitude. Watch this.
*The machine started spinning really fast, along with the Predator on the screen*
Cyrus: Easy, Sonic.
Sonic: Hey, it was just starting to get good
Sonia: Not for all the passengers who are plastered to the ceiling, Sonic.
Sonic: But hey, that's what seatbelts are for.
Ayla:*whispering* He's just as bad at flying as my brother back home.
*Sonia & I giggled*
Sonic: I heard that!
Cyrus: All right. Let's start your run.
Sonic: Ready when you are!
Cyrus: And go!
*Weapons came out of the ground in the simulator, Sonic flew the Predator around them, avoiding getting hit*
Sonic: Bogus! Enough of this maneuvering stuff! Time to kick it! *he dodged more lasers* There's too many of them!
*Suddenly, the Predator got hit by lasers & crash landed*
Cyrus: Aborting mission. Passenger injuries, 100%. How bout you give it a go, Manic?
Sonic: Do it to it, bro!
*His flight didn't so any smoother*
Cyrus: 100% casualty rate.
Sonic:*chuckle* Welcome to the club.
Manic: That cuts it. I'm ground-bound.
*Sonia got in next*
Sonia: Duke right. Hold steady. Bend a send.
Cyrus: Ready, Sonia?
Sonia: Go!
*She flew the Predator smoothly past the lasers*
Sonia: Duke right. Bend a send. Hold steady. Accelerate! Descend from mountain approach!
*She safely landed the Predator*
Cyrus: Perfect! I've never seen better! You're put pilot, Sonia!
Ayla: Awesome job, Sonia!
Manic: Way to go, sis!
Cyrus: Intelligence reports the Predator will return tomorrow night.
Sonia: But . . . The Debutante Ball tomorrow night!
Ayla: That's a problem.
Manic: Sorry, sis.
Sonic: Hey, why don't we do both?
All: Huh?
Sonic: Can you say "secret passageway?"
*The next night, the Ball was underway. Sonic was watching everything from behind a tapestry*
Herald:*whispering* Lord Ambrey and Lady Agatha! Lord Harrigon and Lady Dagnet!
Manic:*whispering* Yo, is she coming? Can you see her?
Sonic:*whispering* No. She's not. Wait! There she is. This in line now.
*Manic looked through the eye hole*
Manic:*whispering* Wow. She looks great.
*I looked next*
Ayla:*whispering* Beautiful.
*She walked in, holding Bartleby's arm. Robotnik walked up to them*
Dr. Robotnik: Well, who do we have here?
Bartleby: Oh, this is my cousin from out of town, uh . . . Sarah.
Dr. Robotnik: Charmed.
Cyrus:*whispering* Predator's inbound! It's within range! Two minutes before it reaches the Roboticizor facility!
Sonic:*whispering* Oh, man. We're cutting it close.
Ayla:*whispering* Guys, Sonia's up next.
Herald: Announcing Sir Bartleby of Dresden and his cousin -
Sonia: Just a momento, please.
Dr. Robotnik: Hmm.
*She handed the Herald a piece of paper. He started to look nervous as he read i*
Herald: Announcing her Royal Highness, Princess Sonia.
*Everyone turned the her with a gasp as she took off her mask*
Sonia: Hello, Buttnik.
Dr. Robotnik: Seize her!
*Three Swat-Bots surrounded her & Bartleby. Suddenly, a blue light hit the Swat-Bots, stopping them in their tracks. A figure was standing on one of the balconies*
Sonia: Mother?
Ayla:*whispering* Mom?
*She released a flying orb that flew to Sonia. She caught it in her hands*
Dr. Robotnik: Queen Aleena! Get her! And grab this one!
*Sonic zoomed in as more Swat-Bots appeared*
Sonic: Gotta hand it do you, sis. You got guts. *he grabbed her hand* Time to juice!
*He zoomed out of the room*
Dr. Robotnik: Swat-Bots! Find the Queen!
*While Sonia was flying the Predator, Sonic, Manic, & I were keeping the Swat-Bots busy by disguising ourselves as Sonia (look up "Ayla - Disguised as Sonia in her Debutante Ball Gown" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt")*
Sheet: There she is!
Manic: Oh, thank you so much for the lovely party favor.
*A Swat-Bot stepped up to Robotnik*
Swat-Bot: HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF PREDATOR. CONTROL DISABLED. ORDERS?
Dr. Robotnik: What!? Shoot it down!
Dingo: Sonia!
Sonic: Hey, big boys. Care to take a little spin around the floor.
Dingo: Spin!? Again!? No thank you!
*Sonic did a tornado impression, catching Dingo, knocking down a few Swat-Bots, & then sending him flying into Sleet*
Sleet: Oh no!
*He crashed into him*
Dr. Robotnik: That's not her, you fools! *he pointed at me* She's over there!
Ayla: Anything I can help you with, Doctor?
*Sonic then grabbed me & we zoomed out of there, meeting up with Sonia, Cyrus, & Manic*
Sonic: Oh, what are the chances we'd all where the same dress to the same party?
*We all laughed*
*Back at the house, Sonia pressed a button on the orb she got from Mom & it opened. A heart shaped necklace was inside*
Sonia: Oh, it's lovely! *Sonic took out a note & handed it to Sonia* "I wore this to at my Debutante Ball. I was so proud of you. Love Mother." Oh, thank you guys.
*We all did a group hug*
Manic: Hey, look. There's something for Ayla.
We all looked at the
Sonia: "P.S. Ayla. I hope that someday, I can see you at your Debutante Ball. Love Mom.
*I smiled at what the note said, but I secretly hoped I'd never have to go through that*
