Endangered Species 4/4


(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series ( Season 23) - English Dub Opening)


(Abigail's POV)

*I nervously looked around at the place we had landed in*

Abigail: What is this place?

Knuckles: Looks like some kind of secret weapons storage.

*Julie-Su pulled out a flashlight*

Julie-Su: I suggest the first thing we do is find a way out of here.

Abigail: Wait. Didn't Thrash say that the bomb was under the city?

Julie-Su: Yeah.

Abigail: Then we should look for the bomb & find a way to disarm it.

Knuckles: She's got a point. This is a perfect opportunity.

Julie-Su: Hmm. Guess you're right. Okay. We'll find the bomb, disarm it, and the get the heck out of here.

Abigail: What about Thrash?

*We all turned to the spot where Thrash had landed, but he was gone*

Knuckles: Looks like he got away while we were talking.

Julie-Su: We can worry about that psycho later. Right now, we have to find that bomb.

Knuckles & Abigail: Right.

Huckleberry: Choa.

*We started walking down the hallway of weapons*


(Third-Person POV)

*Meanwhile, up on the surface, Sonic, Tails, & Amy had just finished knocking away all the Devi Dogs that were too close*

Sonic: That should be all of them.

Remington: For now.

*Amy & Tails stepped up. Amy took out her hammer*

Amy: I know. Here come some more!

*Team Freedom was about to get ready for another fight when Saffron suddenly flew up to them*

Saffron: Wait! Stop! The Devil Dogs aren't really evil!

Lien-Da: Could have fooled me!

Saffron: I'm serious! Look at this! *just then, a Devi Dog came up to them. everyone got their weapons ready, but the Devil Dog just sat in front of them & whimpered* See? They're not evil. I don't think they even want to fight.

The other Devil Dogs saw what their friend was doing & copyed it. Everyone relaxed*

Amy: They why were they attacking us?

Tails: I guess . . . Because they were scared their leader.

Sonic: Well, either way. It's a win for us.

Thrash:*off-screen* You think it's going to be that easy, Hedgehog?

*They all looked & saw Thrash standing a few feet away from them*


(Abigail's POV)

*We walked through the halls & shelves lined with weapons*

Knuckles: I can't believe all this was down here and I had no idea.

Julie-Su: Another secret of the ancient echidnas.

Knuckles: And I hope that this is the last secret that's been kept from me.

Abigail: Uh, guys. I'm sorry to interrupt your Q & A. But, incase you guys have forgotten, we're kinda pressed for time.

Knuckles: You're right. We've gotta keep moving.

*We walked down the hallway, passing a few more. Suddenly, Huck saw something down one of the hallways*

Huckleberry: Chao! Chao-Chao! Chao!

Abigail: What is it, Huck?

*We looked down the hallway he was pointing & saw a giant cylinder with blue glowing liquid inside (look up "Mutagen bomb (2012 TV series)" on "TMNTpedia")*

Julie-Su: How much you wanna bet that's the bomb?

Abigail: How in the world did he get that huge thing here?

Knuckles: None of that matters. Right now, we need to disarm it. 'Su, do your thing.

Julie-Su: I'm on it. *she tried to hack into the bomb's mainframe to shut it down, but she couldn't seem to get into the system* It's no good. Finitevus programed this thing with a unbreakable firewall.

Abigail: The countdown is almost up and the bomb as been screwed into the ground*

*Knuckles went quiet for a minute. Then he seemed to get an idea*

Knuckles: Abby, I've got a plan and I'm going to need your help.

Abigail: My help?

Knuckles: Yeah. We've got one chance to pull this off.


(Third-Person POV)

*Sonic Tails, & Amy stood in front of Thrash, glaring & ready to attack him at any moment*

Sonic: What? You here to finish what your lackeys started?

Amy: 'Cause if you are, then we'll stop you here and now!

Thrash: Even if you stop me right here and now, Luv, the bomb will be going off any second now.

Remington: You're lying!

Thrash: I don't bluff. In fact, it should be going off in three . . . Two . . . One!

Sonic: Everyone duck!

*Everyone ducked. But after a few seconds they realized that nothing was happening*

Thrash: What's going on!? Why didn't the bomb go off!?

Tails:*looking at his wristwatch* But I'm picking up explosions on my scanner.

Sonic: I think I have a pretty good idea And their names start with K and A.


(Abigail's POV)

*Knuckles & I were combining our powers to contain the explosion in a giant green bubble. I was struggling. I'd never pushed my power this far*

Knuckles: Come on, Abby! Keep it up!

Abigail: I'm trying! But it's hard to control!

*The bubble was growing & growing until it was feet tall. The force was starting to push us back*

Knuckles: Quick! We have a to get this away from the city now!

Abigail: Right!

Knuckles: Okay! Let's go!

*Pushing with all our might, we sent the ball through the ceiling & up high into sky above Albion. Then, it exploded*


(Third-Person POV)

*Everyone watched from below as the explosion began to disappear from the sky above the city*

Remington: What just happened?

Lara-Le: Where's Knuckles!?

Amy: Look! Over there!

*Four shadows were coming out of the hole the bubble came out of*


(Abigail's POV)

*Knuckles flew me & Julie-Su out of the hole we had made. Huck was right behind us. Once he set us down & out his feet on the ground, me & him fell forward. Luckily, Sonic caught both of us before we hit the ground*

Sonic: Whoa! You two okay?

Knuckles: Yeah.

Abigail: Just a little tired. That bomb was powerful.

Lara-Le: Knuckles! *She ran towards us & hugged Knuckles* Are you okay!? Any injuries?

Knuckles: I'm fine, Mom. Everything's fine now.


(Third-Person POV)

*Thrash tried to sneak away with his sisters, but stopped when he saw Remington & most of the citizens of Albion pointing weapons at him & his sisters*

Remington: Thrash the Tasmanian Devil. You're under arrest.

*Seeing he was hugely outnumbered, he put his hands up in surrender with a look that could kill*


(Abigail's POV)

*Soon, Thrash was handcuffed & on his knees as Remington & Teri-Lu pointed their guns at him. His sisters & the other Devil Dogs were in cages. Lara stepped up to him*

Lara-Le: Thrash, you came here to do harm to innocent people who had nothing to do with your family's misfortune. But through the efforts of many good people, you have been defeated. And now, I'm afraid that you must be punished for what you have done. Do you have anything to say.

*Thrash was quiet for a few seconds. Then he looked up a Lara with a glare*

Thrash: Only that I'm sorry I didn't crush all of you when I had the chance.

*Many echidnas back away in fear after hearing that. Lara sighed*

Lara-Le: Take him away. I shall decide a suitable punishment on a later date

*Remington & Teri-Lu led Thrash back into the theater*

Abigail: What's going to happen to Thrash's sisters and the other Devi Dogs?

Lara-Le: That will also be decided during Thrash's trial.

*I looked at Thrash's sisters, hoping that at least they will find happiness*


(Third-Person POV)

*Meanwhile, while everyone was occupied, Lien-Da & a few Dark Legionnaires snuck away*


*Later that day, all the citizens of Albion were taken to a refugee camp, getting medical treatment & food. Some of Remington's men were searching the city for anyone that was left behind*

Knuckles: So, is this everyone?

Remington: Yes. All citizens are present and accounted for.

Knuckles: And the Dark Legion?

Remington: We've still got most of them captured, but there's no sign of the rest of them or Lien-Da.

Julie-Su: Well, knowing my sister, she'll definitely be back. She doesn't give up without a fight.

Remington: Well, we'll be sure to be ready when that time comes. *he held out his hand to Knuckles* Thank you for coming, Guardian.

*Knuckles shook his hand*

Knuckles: Just doing my job.

*Remington then left to check on Lara-Le & her family. Seeing the opportunity, I went up to Knuckles & Julie-Su*

Abigail: So, Julie-Su, what did you want to talk about?

Julie-Su: Oh! Um . . . *she looked at Knuckles, who motioned for her to continue. she sighed* I just wanted to say . . . I'm sorry for what said to you during the whole Enerjak fiasco. I know you didn't have anything to do with that, but I was angry and I guess . . . I just need to blow off some steam. Again, I'm sorry.

*I was surprised to hear that at first. But then I smiled & hugged her*

Abigail: I forgave you for that a long time ago.

*She wriggled out of my grip*

Julie-Su: Really?

Abigail: Yes. I don't blame you for taking your anger out on me. I know I would have done the same if it was Shadow. *I held out my hand to her* So? We cool?

*Su looked surprised at me, but soon smiled & shook my hand*

Julie-Su: We're cool.

*We then hugged again*


*The next day, after we were all rested us & the Tornado was repaired, we got ready to continue our original mission. Chase after Eggman & save Sally*

Sonic: You sure you don't want to come with us, Knux? You and Su would be a big help.

Knuckles: Thanks for the offer. But Su and I are going to stay here for a while and help with the clean up. Besides, *he looked at his Mother, Stepfather, & baby brother as Remington spoke with them* I have to make up for lost time.

Sonic: I gotcha. Just be sure to be ready for if we really need you.

Knuckles: Always.

Julie-Su: You know it.

Amy: Why about you, Saffron?

Saffron: I just got a call from Charmy. He and the rest of the Chaotix are back on Angel Island. I'm going back to Angel Island to greet them.

Tails: They found Mighty and Ray?

Saffron: Yep!

Abigail: Awesome!

Huckleberry: Chao-Chao!


*Soon, we had taken to the sky in the Tornado. We all waved goodbye to the echidnas below until Albion had vanished from sight*

Sonic: So, captain, we still got a lock on the Death Egg?

Tails: We sure do! According to the tracking device, it's in the far north.

Sonic: Alright! Next stop, the Artic Tundra!


(Third-Person POV)

Meanwhile, in the Virtual Zone, a pink female echidna with blue eyes, peach skin, & wearing gold rings on dreadlocks, a white robe, & white sandals, a male echidna with brown eyes, peach skin, & wearing red, orange, green, & brown beads on dreadlocks, a white robe, & brown sandals, & Merlin Prower were watching the whole thing*

Athair: It seems like everything is under control. For now.

Aurora:*to Merlin* Your nephew and student have both come a long way. You must be very proud.

Merlin: Yes. Very proud.

Athair: Still . . . That stone around that Abigail girl's neck. I have never sensed anything so powerful. It may even rival the Chaos Emeralds.

Aurora: I agree. All that power in that tiny stone concerns me. I don't even want to imagine what would happen if anyone with an evil heart gets their hands on it.

Merlin: Yes. That's why, during my travels these past few months, I've been searching for the origins of the stone and for a way to destroy it, should the need ever arise.

Athair: I highly suggest that we keep a close eye on the stone and make sure it never falls into the wrong hands.

*Aurora & Merlin nodded in agreement*


Note: I'd like to give a big thank you to Void Reader for his help in writing this chapter. And thank you all for being so patient. Writer's block is evil! What do you think should happen to the Devil Dogs?
