Howard: Oh, hi, sorry for not updating in a long time. I am in the midst of getting ready for a tournament for Mordheim: City of the Damned. It takes a lot out of you...

M.C.: I wondered where you were. We were all getting worried...

Howard: Well that's nice of you- wait a minute. What's the party hat for?

M.C.: OH! Ah... this? Oh... this is just a party favor at a party I went to recently.

All of a sudden inside the studio... Hurrah! Hurrah! The warlocks dead, the warlocks dead... Howard starts glaring at M.C.

M.C.: umm... (He runs over to the studio) Guys! Shut up. The warlock- I mean, Howard isn't dead...

Howard: Listen I got some things to do so enjoy the fic... METAL!!!! GET BACK HERE!!!

When we last seen our heroes, Sonic had just saved Kari and T.K. from the Swat-bots... and Kari and T.K. are down and out for the time being... lets get back to them...

"They aren't dead you nut, they've fainted." Sally said, rolling her eyes.

"... Oh... " Was all sonic could think of saying.

Sally again rolled her eyes and leaned down to try to wake them up. "Hey, come on, time to get up..." T.K. and Kari start to wake up.

"Ugh... Kari I had the weirdest dream, I dreamt we were about to be captured by robots, and Sonic and Sally from the Archie comic series came to save us. Heh, heh, isn't that a hoot... Kari?" T.K. looked over to her, she was wide eyed, looking at something. "Hey, Kari, are you all right. What are you staring a-!" T.K. also went wide-eyed at what he saw. There in the flesh, well... fur, was Sonic and Sally.

Sally was the first to speak. "Are you two okay? You passed out for a minute there." "Yeah, I thought we killed you..." Sonic scratched the back of his head while blushing a bit.

Kari snapped out of it first, "Oh yeah, were okay, it just isn't an every day thing to meet comic book characters."

Sonic and Sally stared at each other, "What...?" was all they said. "We'll explain later right now can you guys help us find our friends." T.K. asked still a bit shocked.

"Sure... um... do you have anything to communicate or find them with." Sally asked.

"Well," started Kari "we all carry one of these." She held out here D-3. "It doesn't seem to work with all this pollution around though."

"Perfect," Sally said with a smile, Sally then took out Nicole and plugged the D-3 into her. "Nicole run a diagnostic on this machine. Also scan Robotropolis for anyone with devices like these."

T.K. and Kari were taken aback when Nicole answered. "Yes Sally, Performing diagnostic check now... Diagnostic complete. Scanning... Sally I see four others with the same readings as this... I am pinpointing them on the map of Robotropolis... Found new downloadable software... Downloading now..." "New Software?" sally thought confused. "Download complete, new program "Digi-Vice" and "Digi-Scanner" can be found under new file, Digimon." "Huh... What does that mean? Anyway we've found your friends. Lets get to them in a hurry."

"I bet our friend Izzy would love to look at that machine, he'd love it." Said T.K. laughing.

"Sir, if you please, my name is Nicole, I am not an IT, I am a her... Thank you very much." Nicole replied to that last statement.

T.K. was startled... "Touché" was all he was able to answer.

In Robotnick's control center...

"$^%# IT!!! Why does that stupid hedgehog have to be a pain in my egg all the time..." Robotnick was fuming, "Every time I come up with something, that rat has to get in the way!"

Myotismon chuckled "Well, looks like you're not such a genius after all; you can't even make robots that can stand an attack by animals."

Robotnick glared over at him. "SHUT UP OR I'LL DEACTIVATE YOU!!!" Robotnick screamed into the speakerphone. "SCRATCH, GROUNDER, GET YOUR METALLIC BEHINDS UP HERE, NOW!!!"

There was silence for a couple of seconds, and then the sound of running footsteps came from behind the control centers door. A loud "SLAM!" was heard, and Grounder and Scratch (Scratch rubbing his now bent beak) came into the room. "Yes, Robotnick!" they said as they saluted. Robotnick rolled his eyes, "I want you to go and reactivate E-102 and E- 101, since they were the only ones who tried to protect the Egg Carrier when it was crashed. They both were destroyed by Sonic; he must have gone back to the ship when it was in the water. I want you to tell them to capture the Destined children." (Howard: Robotnick does not know that Gamma had free will and destroyed Beta. When Robotnick rebuilt Gamma he lost the free will again, but Robotnick still gave him his old memory, thinking that Gamma would hate sonic for what he did. The memory of Amy was suppressed during the process though.)

"Yes, sir!" said Scratch, "Since I'm the oldest I'll go tell them!"

Grounder scowled at Scratch. "What do you mean you're the oldest, Robotnick knows I'm the oldest!"

Scratch returned the scowl. "What are you talking about, I came out of the machine before you."

"By only five seconds! Big whoop!" Grounder retorted.

Both yelled, "WHY YOU!" and then proceeded to fight each other.

Myotismon sweat dropped. "This is your best people?"

Robotnick was madder now. "IF YOU TWO DON'T KNOCK IT OFF, YOU WONT WORRY ABOUT WHO'S THE OLDEST BECAUSE YOULL BOTH BE SCRAP!!!!!!"

Grounder and Scratch froze for a second then quickly saluted. "YES SIR!" They then ran out the door.

Robotnick sighed. "Good work is hard to build..."

Meanwhile, Sonic and Sally was asking T.K. and Kari where they were from, and who are they.

Kari started. "Well my name is Kari. And his is T.K."

"Well" started sally "It is a pleasure to meet you Kari and T.K. From what it sounds like you know us well enough. Question though, were in Mobius are you from?"

"Well, were aren't from Mobius, were from Earth. You see we come from another... uh..." T.K. tried to think of how to put it. "We come from another, what you guys call, a Zone. In our world, Humans, I mean Overlanders are the most dominant species, and the animals aren't as advanced as you guys are."

"I understand what you're saying, but I have one question..." Sally was still trying to figure out what Nicole meant. "When I was checking your... what did you call it... oh yeah, your D-3, it said that two new programs for Nicole was found, they were called Digi-vice and Digi-scan. Do you know what they are?"

Kari was taken aback. "Your computer now has the Digi-vice and Digi-scan ability! In our world my friends and me are a special group of kids called the Digidestined. We are protectors of another Zone, called the Digital World. There are things called Digimon, monsters that where created by computer data. You see when data is used in a computer or any technology some data is not used, this stuff, as Izzy believes, created the Digital World. When more data is unused, more Digimon are created."

Sonic was trying to understand what Kari just said. "So basically, that world is made up of digital backwash?"

T.K. shrugged, "Sort of, I guess you could call it that... So tell me, where are we exactly?"

"If you know about us, you must know about Ro-butt-nick. This is Robtropolis, once the great city of Mobotropolis. We are in the Factory sector right now." Sonic replied.

"You mean this is THE Robotropolis!" T.K. and Kari said in unison.

"Yeah, though what Robotnick wants with you I haven-...!" Sally's Eyes went wide, "Wait! You were being captured by Swat-Bots! We got to find your friends NOW!"

"Why? Aren't they safe?" Kari asked.

Sonic realized what Sally was thinking. "NO! They Aren't! HE WANTS TO ROBOTOSIZE THEM!!!"

"WHAT?!?!?!" both Kari and T.K. yelled out.

Sonic grabbed T.K. "C'mon! Sally will take care of Kari. Lets go find your friends!" Sonic started to speed off, collecting some rings just in case as he went.

"Don't worry about T.K., Sonic will keep him safe." Sally said to Kari.

All of a sudden a two metallic voices rang out. "Halt... Do not move... We have orders to capture the Digi-destined..." Gamma and Beta jumped down from the roof they were on.

(((((())))))))

Nicole Data

Names: E-101 (Gamma) and E-102 (Beta)

Data: Two robots that were the first in the E-100 line. Both have high- powered cannons and both have hover ability.

First seen in: Sonic Adventure

(((((()))))))

"Not if I can help it!" Sally tried to fly kick Beta, but he quickly slammed his metallic fist into Sally's side, knocking her against the wall and knocking the wind out of her. All the while Gamma Came closer to Kari. She started to try to make Gamma stop. "Please! Please don't do this..." She started to cry again. "Please!"

Gamma stopped, he looked at Kari and something in his memory started to come back. "A picture..." he thought. He shook of the Image and proceeded toward Kari.

"Please," Kari begged, "Please don't hurt us, leave us alone..."

The picture appeared again and started to become clearer. "A picture of a girl I know... A Hedgehog... does this girl remind me of her?" Again he shook of the image and raised his gun toward Kari.

"No!! Please don't hurt me Mr. Robot!!!" Kari yelled out crying.

The picture finally became clear. "Amy..." Gamma remembered Amy, how she new he was good on the inside. He remembered her sitting there in her jail cell. How she told sonic not to hurt him. "She knew I was good..." Gamma started to fell like his circuitry was on fire. "AMY!" Gamma cried out, his memory came back! He stopped, turned and fired at Beta.

Beta was stunned, "Gamma, what are you doing... we must capture these two organics... they are our enemies..."

"NO!" Gamma cried out, his voice no longer monotone. "KARI, FRIEND! SALLY, FRIEND! ROBOTNICK AND BETA, ENEMY!" He again started to fire at Beta. Gamma continued to talk, "Amy new I was good, even when I didn't know it. I will not do something to betray that trust she had in me!" Gamma looked over to Kari. "RUN," he yelled over to Sally and Kari. "I'll keep him off your backs!"

As Sally and Kari just stood there watching, Beta and Gamma were still fighting each other. "You are malfunctioning, be prepared to be deactivated..."

"No... It is you who are going to be deactivated..." Gamma said in a low tone.

From what it looks like, Sonic and the Freedom Fighters have a new ally. But is he going to make it fiend out later in the next chapter of Digital Mobius.
