Chapter Ten: Outbreak

Disclaimer: If these characters were mine, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction about them, would I?

"So, Princess. We gonna do this, or what?"

"Just call me Sally."

"Whatever."

Sally handed Rotor a. "Sonic, you and Tails will come with me. Bunnie and Rotor, you to find those parts that Shadow wanted, alright?"

"Right, Sally-girl!" Bunnie said.

Rotor walked up to Sally. "Here, take these," He put two small pill-like tablets in Sally's hand.

"What are these? I don't have a headache."

"No, these are Amnesia Pellets. They can make someone forget everything that ever happened up to two weeks ago."

"Rotor, you're a genious!" Sally exclaimed, "With these, Robotnik will forget the coordinates to Knothole!"

"Don't give me all the credit; Uncle Chuck helped me perfect them; we made them just in case this happened. Sally, I have to warn you: those are the only ones we have, and they're untested. Please be careful."

"You to, Rotor."

After Rotor left, Sonic asked, "Who's Uncle Chuck?"

"He's our Sonic's uncle; he was a brilliant scientist before Robotnik took over. He was roboticised, but gained his free will back."

"I . . . I mean he . . . has an Uncle?"

"Yeah."

"I have someone like that," SU-Sonic told.

"Who?"

"My mom. Before my Robotnik took over, she hid me, my sister and brother so that Robotnik couldn't get us," he got a sorrowful look on his face, "I can barely remember what she looks like." He held up his pendant, "This is all I have to remember her by."

Sally put a hand on his shoulder. "I hope you find your mom soon."

"Thanks . . . Sal."

After they were done with this conversation, the trio made a mad dash for the Central Tower, all the while dodging searchlights and the watchful "eyes" of the SWAT-bots. After a few minutes of this, they found cover behind some junk piles.

"I'm gettin' bored," SU-Sonic complained.

"Sonic, you can afford to be patient."

"That's not in my vocab, Sal."

"Well, how would you run a mission like this?"

"Simple," SU-Sonic pulled out his guitar and cocked it like a gun, "Volume, volume, volume."

Sally sighed, "Some things never change."

As SU-Sonic provided a destraction, Sally and Tails left the destructive battle in favor of a direct approach.

"You're heavy, Aunt Sally!" Tails said as he lifted her up to the second story window.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Sally asked.

When she got to the window, Sally swung into the building, with Tails following.

Not even a second after they got inside, they were surrounded by SWAT-bots on all sides.

"Uh . . . Aunt Sally, was this the plan?" He asked, although he knew the answer.

"So, Princess Sally, you're plan was to sneak into my fortress," Robotnik laughed, "Well, it seems you were successful. I'ts a shame I don't have the rodent, but when I get him, he will pay for what he did to me." He put his hand across the patch across his left eye.

"You'll never get away with this, Robotnik!"

Robotnik snickered. "That phrase gets so tiresome. Soon, I'll have everything I need, then I will get away with it, Princess. And don't look so distressed. Your robotization isn't until tomorrow. In the mean time, Talk to one of your friends," He pointed to the other members of Knothole.

"Don't worry, Princess. The rodent vermin will be joining you shortly." He laughed as he left.

What Robotnik didn't notice, however, were two glowing eyes inside the air vent.

"Are these all the parts, Rotor?"

Rotor picked up a tube off of the ground. "Yeah, this should be the last of it." He stuffed the parts inside of a backpack they brought with them.

They were about to leave, when suddenly they heard a familiar Robotic voice. "ORGANIC BEING. CAPTURE BY ORDER OF ROBOTNIK."

Bunnie jumped into the air and karate-kicked one of them. Afterwards, she punched one that was behind her. Rotor, being virtually defenseless, was captured almost immediately.

She was about to save Rotor when she felt something smack the back of her neck. She fell unconscious, and her and Rotor were carried off.

"TAKE THIS! AND THIS! AND SOMMA THAT, BOTHEADS!"

Sonic, starting to get outnumbered, resorted to firing in random directions. After a while of this, one SWAT-bot was actually smart enough to fire his laser instead of rushing in. the blast knocked the guitar out of his hand. SU-Sonic dove to recover the lost item, but the last thing he saw after he turned around was blades of cold steel.

After the surprise spindash assualt, Hyper Metal Sonic turned around. "Take this filthy organic to Robotnik's lab."

As the SWAT-bots did their job, Metal Sonic supervised this. "Finally, the age of the soft-bodied, organic scum is over."
