chapter 2

where are we now?

It took miles a second to take stock of his surroundings after exiting the vortex. "Ok, why are we here? " of course he still couldn't move as the effects of whatever tranquilizer Sonic had used on him hadn't worn off.

"That's right kid" Sonny said "we're back in Billy's Apartment. You've been holding out on me. See while I was incarcerated I caught wind of your little Telephone booth"

"What telephone booth?" Miles asked playing stupid, his tail twitched momentarily.

"Have you no loyalty? I raised You. Sally is, is in the hospital. There was an accident, If - I don't go back and change things... "Sonny was pleading with his former ally for help. Seemed alot like Saddam Hussein asking for world peace, completely out of character... he had to have been telling the truth. Miles felt for him, he truly did.

" I have No idea what you're talking about." Sure he felt for Sonny, But considering the fact he was replaced with some dime store Faker' he held no loyalty for the Jackass. He was alot like sonny in that respect

"Don't play dumb with me Miles, you'll lose". Sonny sneered

" Who's Playing? There's a Telephone booth downstairs." Miles thoughts drifted into past momentarily.

In the Mobius where Deuce and Sonny came from there was a virus, a very lethal one, created By Ivo Robotnick. The legitimate face of the King Acorn's Kingdom. The truth of the mater was King Acorn of was a racist He felt certain Breeds of Mobians were not equal to others. So he hired Robotnick to come up with a virus that would eliminate what he considered the weakest of mobians. Robotnick was a known geneticist of the Landover Baptist Church' which also known as the church of the Bright and shining future. Unfortunately princess Sally caught the virus in infancy and was cloned thinking she wouldn't survive. when she survived her father ignored her seeing the healthier of the neo twins as superior and the original renamed Nichole as the inferior. For Nichole the virus had left her weak, and had caused Nichole minor brain damage, she was Raised by Robotnick and had become a guinea pig for his experiments. The experiments, which had left her with a cold and mechanical nature, and a cybernetic brain. Sarcasm was the closest she had come to an emotional outburst since she was twelve years of age.

Nichole had made her first friend at an arcade, Miles was a crack shot at the shooting range and the two would often team up to fight the local King of games known then only as Sonic. It was a simpler time Miles was only six, and king acorn didn't care where Nichole went as long as she wasn't in the palace. when sonic met princess sally for the first time he had been smitten. Sure, girl was a total lunatic who treated everyone and everything around her as inferior to her, of course considering who her father was that wasn't a surprise. It was almost as if Sonic seemed to like being bossed around Miles noticed the differences between his friend and Sonic's new one right away. Shortly after Nichole stopped showing up at the arcade, and one twin was replace with the other. Miles would see Nichole outside the arcade occasionally. She would look but never enter, he never understood why. in the years following out of boredom or stupidity the Gang was formed. Miles should have left the gang when they started tripping on acid. He didn't like where the group was headed. He stayed because he felt like he belonged , he had friends, but with friends like Sonny and the gang who needs enemies.

The final insult had come when Sonic had ordered him to kill someone. He wouldn't do it If the coward wanted someone killed he should do it himself. That was the start of Sonny's new found obsession with Miles. Like with Sally it gave him a new challenge to see what and how far he could go before Miles would turn on him. Sure Sonny and Sally would fight all the time, but she didn't live with him. Sonic started treating miles like shit. At this point Miles had run away from home, and was subsequently replaced with a clone. He had nowhere left to run. Backing him into a corner was the last thing The hedgehog should have done. Sonny had done something unforgivable. It involved Miles falling down a flight of stairs onto some bullets. Afterwards there was he was subjected to several vision tests mostly because his left eye had been damaged when Sonny used an eye dropper filled with chlorine to get the point across. about the only injury Sony received was when miles tried to defend himself by dislocating sonny's shoulder.

anyway back to the situation at hand Miles looked up and to the right for a moment to see a familiar silhouette. He smiled this should provide him with some entertainment. "Hey Sonny, Your fiancé is here. Might want to turn around Brah"

"Oh please, do I look stupid to you?" Sonny felt the point of a blade stick into his back.

"I'm going to say yes." Miles smile was replaced with terror as he wondered what happened to Billy on Zonic's Mobius.

Zonic Zone...

The clock slowly counted down by five seconds, then four then three, then two, Billy's life flashed before his eyes which where sealed tighter than a drum when he heard a loud crash, followed by several laser pulses and...nothing just dead silence. Billy's creeped open his left eye and saw a hectic scene of devestation and, and, and twins one of whom was tending to an injred pink hedgehog.

Post Sonic Zone...

He didn't usually carry his war hammer it slowed him down. however Robotnicks Army was slowly growing as the numbers of his group dwindled 'til he was the last remaining. For the the fact of the matter was his leader had disbanded the freedom fighters. They were being slaughtered daily or 'converted' as Robotnick had been Quoted. Rouge had been the lost and with her his Dream had no reason to go on. he was now thinking of her as he walked into Mobotropolis. Into the very gates of hell, he was stopped by a patrol unit "Halt, Identify yourself."

"Messenger Mandy Roze Angel Island patrol of the restored Mobius."The young hedgehog couldn't be older than 12. He had light purple fur covering his body it was almost pink and red sunglasses which he shifted into a position which made it look similar to a head band. Mandy's hair was long, but didn't go past his shoulders it was spiked in the front with three strands before the Sunglasses. The residents of Angel Island had braided/beaded a tendril as a sign of friendship, also so Knuckles wouldn't keep attacking him every time he entered the territory to deliver a message. He was wearing fingerless gloves, jack boots, and a vest with a crudely designed Mobius strip on the back all were black with red trim. His war hammer had a chain and a shurikin attached to the bottom and was strapped to his back. "I have a message for 'Your Master' From Sonic, Sonic said I should have a free pass."

the robot sent the transmission into the war room "Excellent, finally he brings the Challenge to me." a voice in the shadows started laughing. "allow him passage."the message was sent to the patrol bot outside

"yes great and powerful Robotnick, king of kings ruler of the great-"Mandy decided to enter before his ears fell off, some how he expected that he would be there for hours if he waited for the robot to finish.

"we three kings be stealing the gold hum hum hmmm" Mandy silently hummed to himself as he walked the streets to what was once the Royal Palace. After walking twenty minutes he reached his destination.

"Lord Robotnick" Mandy produced a scroll and handed it to the Balding...Bald fat ass with an iron fist. "If you wish to send a reply I will be wai-"

he had been surrounded on all sides by robots " By order of Robotnick You are Not allowed to leave the Premises."this was followed by Robotnick reading the Scroll out loud.

"...And I Herby state that the Freedom fighters of the restored Mobius, and the Mail carriers are disbanded. ha ha ha ha that's It, he gave up?" he looked sternly at Mandy "Do you take me for a fool.?"

"If the shoe Fits" At Mandy's snipe reply Botnick bitch slapped him.

"Take him to the robotisizer we can convert him with the other one we picked up near Chestnut forest."

meanwhile

Rouge was taking A young Kitsune at gunpoint and was leading him to the Robotisizer."Move it runt"

"Fricking Traitor"the young fox was clearly upset.

"You freedom fighters think your so much better, we run this world now. We wouldn't have any problems if it weren't for you, the crime rate is dropped, the air is cleaner, and -"

"What about freedom of speech, and executing anyone who doesn't share the same beliefs."the young fox yelped as Rouge pistol whipped him into silence"

"We don't kill all of them Miles, in fact you are going to be one of the lucky few who will be converted" Miles swore Rouge sounded like one of those Stepford wives he heard about when he was little.

"Bitch"this was followed by a yelp as Rouge once again hit him with the butt of her plasma rifle.

"Rouge, YOU'RE ALIVE!" Mandy was so happy to see her...at least until he noticed the other fox "O.o It was you, you who was the Traitor. I should have known, you were the only one who ever came back from south patrol."

"What an un expected surprise, how is it that you know my Commander?. Oh that's right I sent her to infiltrate the Freedom fighters." Robotnick whom just entered spoke in a cold manner."It must feel good to know one of your elite suckered you for all this time"

"Sir this one is Sonic's second in command-"

"I'm not surprised, tell me again Rouge weren't you supposed to kill Sonic?" Miles and Mandy were placed or rather forced side by side onto circles on a platform.

"No sir, I never saw him. all his messages were relayed through Roze

"Start the robtization process..."

the Kit looked to Mandy "Miles Prower.. Station Square, Flickie island."

"Mandy Roze.. Angel Island, Knothole."

"its an honor to die with you sir" than there was a flash as he watched miles choking to death as flesh turned to metal and miles was no longer alive but a machine. Mandy wasn't so lucky. Robotnick wanted him to suffer.

"why didn't you robotisize me?"

"Why would I do that? 'Sonic' I need a Guinea Pig. Congratulations you get to join your fallen leader in the void.

"What void?"Mandy activated His NKL, as he was 3rd in line for the throne after Princess Alicia.The NKL unit was one of the benifitsMandy reciveddue to his heritage as a duke, even though such titles had become meaningless when Robotnick took over.

The 'Viris' which wasdesigned to infect Robotnick's mainframe, and transmitted ViaNKLthe program initiated when the Robotisizer started and provided minor shielding from the portal that had opened up .That is assuming Robotnick was using it for its intended purpose, Unfortunately it made his body lurch in pain as he felt the molecules from his body being ripped apart peice by piece. slowly they reassembled themselves and he was lying on the ground somewhere elsestill in the robitisizer chamber only sidways.

" I may be dead. but You precious Technology won't save you now" this was followed by insane laughter. Which caught the attention of a certain blue hedgehog who was providing a distraction while the other avoided a plasma blast that destroyed the sideways mainframe computer.

"Whoa kid, Were did you come?"were the last words Mandy heard before his vision went black, he knew the voice well it was Sonic's.

later...

"ungh My head."Mandy started coming around he felt like the last time he had a sugar high.

"Easy Now kid we're almost there" Sonic said as he shifted the now conscious Purple Hedgehog."Who are you?"

"Messenger of the restored mobi- Oh my gosh You're Real?"

"Of Course I'm real, why wouldn't I be?"

"B-but" was all he managed before his eyes rolled back into his sockets.

"He's waking up"

"How are you? My name is Zonic, Can you tell me what you were doing here?"he asked in a manner that one would speak to a child. While little of that part of himself was insulted he decided it would be in his best interest to stay silent well not completely.

"Can you tell me why your wearing that cheap costume?"Mandy responded. He noticed that his head was bandaged and that the doctor had re broken his left fore arm so that it would heal properly this time instead of the patch job that he had done a when he broke it few months back

"Brat, You do realize that If you don't Co-operate that you can be imprisoned for an inter-dimensional fraud violation"--Zonic

"Do you realize that if you do that you will be violating law 8 subsection 34 of mobian law?.--Mandy

"Huh?"Sonic was confused. he had heard of the laws of 8 before, however it was Over Lander Code. "Law 8 would be live and let Live, so what's' subsection 34?"

"Not telling A-Dolt, side's I'm leaving as soon as I recover. Oh, and if you must know. I'm Known as Messenger Mandy Roze of the Restored Mobian Alliance, and the Duke of Newswire." Mandy also noticed the blue hedgehog shutter an the mention of his very name."What's his problem?"

"Oh, well I guess you would have figured out sooner or later. This is very hard to explain, you see your in whats called an alternate zone. lets just say your double is a bit eccentric"--Zonic

"Alternate ZoneIs that like a parallel universe?"Mandy disliked adults, mostly because they didn't say what they mean right up front.

"Yes, in fact thats exactly what it is. Tell me do you have a version of sonic on your world."--Zonic

"Yes, though he's more a myth than a person. he was the first messenger, he came to Knothole...My knothole when I was five, he was prolly' 12 or so at the time He didn't have a name, he was just fast. That was the first time I heard about mail, He made me an honorary Messenger...Before the village was burned to the ground and he was strung up. I didn't want the idea to die with him, so whenI was old enough is started being a messenger. So I guess I''m more or less sonic now.."

"HELLO! Could someone help me out over here?" Sonic esquire screamed, he had regained some limited mobility only was able to move his left arm.
