Well, the basis of the story has already been established, now it's time to see how everything gets turned out. I hope this story will come out well and will be finished, because I have seen many people who just give up without finishing their fanfics, and I hope I don't fall into that category
Oh, and I hope I can reach the 40 review mark by the end of the story… wish me luck. -;

Chapter 8- First Assault
During the night, the Great Forest would have been totally quiet, save for the croaking of the crickets, or the howling of the wind. However, tonight, there were heavy footsteps and the rustling of the leaves, which broke the silence of the serene forest.
They belonged to the feet of a young rabbit, which was the unfortunate host for the terror drone; Robotnik's most advanced spybot yet.
The young rabbit had its free will completely snatched from him; there was not even the usual 'inside' of a captive that was robotosized or mind controlled, nothing was fighting against the terror drone's control. It could control every thought that came up in the brain, every single function, even the subconscious, and yet still can keep its host's former personality and memories and act normally.
The host had seen everything from the insertion of the memory eraser, to himself getting all the chaos emeralds, which were now in the bag that his left hand gripped. All seven. It was really, really easy, since the failed princess forgot about her treasured portable computer, Nicole. Apart from getting all the information such as the 40-digit safe number and the location of the jewels, he even had the time to play around with it and muck it up a little with a computer virus.
Finally, the mindless doctor had reached the spot where the terror drone programmed him to go. He suddenly froze, as if he was trapped in ice, not showing the slightest sign of discomfort as time passed.
What would happen next would shock almost anyone, but still, Dr. Robin face remained rigid. The fabric of space weirdly became torn apart, revealing a wormhole. From it came out a robot made out of pure iron, holding a jewel something, but not quite like, a chaos emerald. Quickly, it snatched away the bag that Robin was holding, and returned into the wormhole, which closed immediately. All this happened in the matter of seconds.
Dr.Robin suddenly fell head-first into the mud. He was of no use anymore.

Robot X-1 marched through the prison section, with its cobalt blue quills glinting in the white light, red eyes shining straight forward.
Prisoners beside him all gasped in horror, staring at the former hero, rubbing their eyes. Their hero… their only hope of escaping, was gone… finally. Prayers and hopes would now go unanswered, their hero was gone. Even the bravest cried.
X-1 heard the cries, but it felt no emotion. That was taken away from it, lost in the process of turning flesh into metal. Voices that echoed in its 'true inside' meant nothing to him at all; he didn't care about anyone now, not even Sally. What ever its master told him to do it, he would do it without hesitation, at least it was programmed to do so…

Robotnik sighed. This fortunate turn of events may have acted to his advantage, but still, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at his efforts going into waste. The problem was that Tails' memory would contradict with Sonic being in his force, and the cyborg might actually side with the freedom fighters. And Tara, he could imagine that she would relinquish the element of surprise sooner or later; she had defied him. But Sopher was already dead.
Obviously, he would have to send someone to kill them. And he knew who to choose.
He heard the door open and close, and then turned around to look at his former adversary. Then, the door opened again, and this time, a robot with a huge belly covered with cast iron came in, his new series of robots, the T series.
Robotnik muttered his orders quickly, the space ripper would generate a wormhole for X-1 to enter and victory would be his. The location of Knothole was obviously not a secret anymore, so this was to be easy.
The newly developed T-series could use the unique energy waves from pieces of the time stones to control the fabric of time and space, which would make for a blitz attack on the freedom fighters. Robotnik smiled, his regime would be built again to its former glory in 24 hours.

Sally was now walking with Tara to a holding cell, where she was going to be held for further questioning. The princess couldn't believe what she had heard; Robotnik was actually alive! And Tails…, he might never become the same again…
And Sonic, he should have been back here ages ago. Where was he? Could he finally be… no… Sonic was too smart for that.
But still, there was a possibility, and if that really had happened, the consequences would be disaster. The night sky was completely devoid of stars or even the moon, when last night, it was full of them. That was not a good sign at all.
She tried not to think about that.
The squirrel turned her head to Tara, who was currently very, very silent, almost in tears again… "Tara… if this would make you feel any better, it's not your fault, Tara. You were forced into doing this, I understand, but…
"Sally…, stop lying to me… It's all my fault, I'm the cause of all this. I should've told you earlier, much, much earlier." She sat down on the cool grass and buried her head into her hands. "But my father is gonna die anyway, I'm never ever going to see him again…"
"Tara…" was all Sally could offer.
"I'm… I'm sorry, Sally." Tara gave a weak smile to Sally, and Sally returned it…
But, when Sally blinked a little, Tara suddenly disappeared from her line of sight! She began to frantically look around, and to her shock, what lay down the hill was Tara's lifeless body, slumped onto the ground.
Before Sally could react, a cold, metallic fist grabbed her tightly, by the neck…
