Episode 4: The Code of Hacker Part 1

At King Frederick Airfield of New Mobotropolis, Rotor and Tails are working on repairs and upgrades to the Tornado. They both examine the plane from top to bottom, and even in the control panels.

"Hmm, other than the left wing being broken off the plane only have a few minor repairs," Rotor says.

"I'm glad the plane isn't badly damaged from the crash, but it will take some time to get the wing fixed," Tails says.

"Still, it's amazing on how well you did on the plane," Rotor says.

Tails smiles and says, "Thank Rotor. I think if we give the Tornado an upgrade, we can have an advantage against Dr. Eggman and Snively."

"I agree. I actually have a few parts in my workshop we can use. We'll have to really do something about the left wing of the plane," Rotor says.

"Yeah. At least the controls are working," Tails says.

"That's good," Rotor says, examining the propeller.

Tails and Rotor continues to work on fixing any repairs on the Tornado. Meanwhile, Sally and Sonic are showing Amy, Cream, and Cheese the city, and they are amazed by it.

"Wow Sonic, this place looks amazing," Amy says.

"I agree. I wish my mother is here too. I'm sure she'll love to visit it," Cream happily says.

"Chao Chao," Cheese says with glee.

"Maybe we can invite her for a visit," Amy suggests.

Cream smiles, "That's a great idea."

Sonic and Sally smile to see Cream and Cheese are doing fine.

Amy asks, "So Sonic, what exactly is Naugus anyway?"

"Naugus is an Ixis Sorcerer who was in the Void. He give us all kinds of trouble. He froze Sally and Bunnie into ice blocks," Sonic says.

"Like he did with me?" Amy asks.

"Yes. Naugus is not only very powerful, but very dangerous. He's trying to take over New Mobotropolis for sometime, we haven't seen him since his last defeat before Sonic and Tails left to fight Dr. Eggman," Sally says.

"He has many spells that he has in his arsenal, and we still able to kick his butt," Sonic adds.

"I see. I didn't realize Naugus was this powerful," Amy says.

"Which is why we need to be on our guard in case he comes back to the city. One time he tried to take control of my father so he can take over the kingdom," Sally says.

Cream nervously says, "He sounds scary."

"That creep! I can't believe he did that. But how are we going to beat him now?" Amy asks, furious.

Before Sonic can answer, Nicole appears in front of Sonic and the others and says, "Sally! Sonic! There's an emergency!"

"What's the emergency?!" Sonic asks.

"I'm receiving and SOS emergency message in the Great Forest," Nicole says.

"Should we go check it out? Cream asks.

"It will be the ring thing to do. Someone could be badly hurt," Sonic says.

Later at a crash site, the G.U.N Ship has crashed into the trees on the ground, and it's badly damaged. Team Dark helps the G.U.N soldiers get out of the ship and they're all fine. Some of them are beginning to examine the ship for any damages. Rouge also has the prisoner in handcuffs and escorts him out.

Rouge says, "That's about everyone on the ship."

"I'm wondering what hit us," Shadow says.

The teenage boy turns to the G.U.N ship, and says, "You mean, by that thing."

Rouge and Shadow look to where the boy is seeing. What they see is some pieces of a large cylinder like rocket and it's burnt and broken.

"What is that?" Rouge asks.

"It's a missile. What happened was no accident," Shadow sternly says.

"That's right Shadow," A voice says.

Shadow and Rouge turns to the boy.

The boy says, "We were under attack."

Outside of the Great Forest, Sonic, Tails, Sally, Amy, Cream and Cheese, and Nicole see the forest and are about to begin searching for those who sent the SOS.

Sally turns to Nicole, "Nicole, can we get a visual on the she that crash."

"Yes Sally," Nicole says.

Nicole then present a visual image of the crash in front of the group. Excluding Sally, Sonic and the others are shocked to see the soldiers, and the ship, most of all, three familiar faces.

Amy notices the logo on the ship and says, "That's a G.U.N ship! What's it doing here?!"

"Shadow, Rouge, and Omega are there too. What could they be doing here?" Sonic asks.

"Shadow? Isn't that the guy you said that was created by Dr. Eggman's grandfather. Who uh, tried to destroy the planet to advance his friend?" Sally says, and knows it's a difficult subject for Shadow.

"That's him. Rouge is the bat and she's a jewel thief. The robot is Omega. He was one of Eggman's robots until he decided to change sides. And then he wants to destroy Eggman," Sonic says.

"I see," Sally replies.

"I wonder what could have happened," Tails replies.

"I'm planning on finding out," Sonic says.

In a matter of seconds, Sonic speeds up through the forest to go find Shadow and the others.

Back at the G.U.N plane crash, Team Dark are still keeping an eye on the prisoner while G.U.N keep and eye out for any other damages on the ship.

"What do you mean we were attacked?" Rouge asks.

"Like I said, someone must have sent the missile to shoot the plane down," The boy says.

Shadow theorizes, "They must have knows that we're transporting him to a safe location.

Suddenly, a blue blur comes out of nowhere.

Rouge asks, "What was that?"

"I know who that is," Shadow says.

The next moment, Sonic the Hedgehog stops to see Shadow and Rouge.

"Hey Shads, glad to see you here," Sonic remarks.

"I thought I already told you about that stupid nickname," Shadow sternly says.

"You know nothing's going to stop me from calling you that," Sonic says.

Then turns to Rouge, "Hey Rouge, long time no see."

"Hi Sonic, it's been a while," Rouge says.

"So who's your friend? And what happened to the plane," Sonic asks, looking at the boy.

"The boy name is Kyle who is an expert hacker, and we're transporting him to a safe location," Shadow says.

"Until the ship was hit by a missile and we crashed down to this place. Glad that no one was hurt," Rouge says.

The boy, Kyle says, "Someone must have known which route we're taking and knows what ship I'm likely in."

"Hmm, that sounds fishy. Are you working with someone?" Sonic says, giving him a firm expression.

"No. I'm what you call a Lone Wolf. I work alone. It's possible that there might be a mole in G.U.N," Kyle answers.

"Mole?" Sonic says, confused.

"He means that the incident is an inside job. We have a spy in G.U.N" Rouge says.

"I don't like the sound of that," Sonic says.

Suddenly someone calls out, "Sonic!"

Sonic, and Team Dark turn their heads to see Sally, Tails, and the others hurrying over.

"Honestly Sonic, can't you wait for us for once?" Sally sternly asks.

Sonic nervously laughs, "Sorry about that?"

Tails and the others hurry over to see the damages here.

"What happened here?" Amy asks.

"It looks like a missile hit it," Tails says.

Rouge says, "Good guess. And Hi by the way."

"Hi Rouge," Tails says.

Omega turns to see Sally and asks, "Who is this mysterious female individual?"

"Right. Shadow, Rouge, Omega. This is Sally Acorn. She's princes of New Mobotropolis and a great friend of mine and Tails," Sonic says.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you. Sonic have told me all about you," Sally says.

"He did?" Shadow asks.

"Yep. All of it. Even about your past," Sonic says.

Shadow groan, "I knew you would open your big mouth."

Just then, a G.U.N soldier says, "We need to start heading out.

"You can come with us New Mobotropolis is close by and Nicole has a perfect place to put your prisoner at," Sonic says.

"Alright Sonic, then you and your friends lead the way," Rouge says.

Sonic and the others begin to escort the G.U.N soldiers, Team Dark, and Kyle through the forest to get to the city. However, unknown to them, they are being monitored by a hidden spy camera and sees Kyle among the crowd.

After arriving in New Mobotropolis, Sonic and the others arrived to the city to discuss about the crash. The G.U.N soldiers are tending to the damages to their ship with Rotor, Tails, and Bunnie. Nicole makes sure that Kyle is transported to the Detention Center. Sonic is with Amy, Nicole and Sally decide to talk to Team Dark about Kyle and the incident with the plane.

"So Rouge, you think you can tell us more about Kyle, and what he did?" Sally asks.

"Sure princess. The boy, Kyle, hacked into G.U.N and stole important information and set a virus to our system, even criminal organization servers," Rouge answers.

"Whoa! That sounds heavy," Sonic says.

"I have to wonder about the attack on the G.U.N ship and what Kyle said. Do you think someone could be after him?" Sally replies.

"That what we're starting to suspect," Shadow answers.

Then Rouge says, "He walked up to G.U.N HQ and used a phone to hack the message board in public. Then he got on and his hands behind his back as the G.U.N soldiers hold out their weapons."

"And then what happened?" Sonic asks.

"He simply surrendered to us," Shadow says.

Sally and Sonic looks at Shadow with confused looks.

Sonic asks, "That's it?"

"Why did he surrender so calmly?" Amy asks.

"He said that he got information so vital that this leads to bigger targets against many criminal organizations. That's why we're transporting him to a safer location," Rouge says.

"Is what you said is true, then someone must have known what Kyle did," Sonic says.

"And send that missile to get rid of him and shot the G.U.N ship down," Amy says.

Sally says, "We'll need to make sure the criminals doesn't reach him."

"I'll need to place a forcefield around his cell and have the guards posted," Nicole says.

"I agree," Sally says.

"I'll do it right away," Nicole says.

In a second, Nicole digitized herself and disappears into thin air. Shadow and Rouge look confused to see Nicole disappearing like that.

Sally giggles and says, "I know you're confused, but Nicole is actually an A.I."

"So she has a mind of her own?" Shadow asks.

"She does, and she's been a big help to us even our battle against Dr. Eggman," Sally says.

"Kind of reminds me of Omega, only he has a desire to take down Eggman after being put in storage by his creator," Rouge says.

"I will destroy Eggman and his robot creation," Omega says.

Rouge sighs in reply.

"Are you sure he's not working for Eggman or if he still has Eggman's previous programming," Sally asks, concern.

"Don't worry, Omega works for G.U.N now, he just get carried away when it comes to his work," Rouge says.

"If you say so," Sally says.

In the Detention Center, Kyle is placed in a cell, and it has a bed hanging on the side of the wall. He simile sits on the bed playing with a string and making patterns from it. He creates a bridge, a star, and other kinds of patterns with a string. Just then, a forcefield around the glass entry around his cell, and Nicole appears in front of the cell. Kyle turns to see Nicole digitizing in front of his cell raising his curiosity.

"Who are you?" Kyle asks.

"My name is Nicole. And I'm trying to carry out my work," Nicole firmly says.

"You're not a normal Mobian are you. You look like one, but you digitize yourself out of nowhere," Kyle replies.

"Sorry If I'm not applying to answer your questions, given your reputation," Nicole says.

"Don't worry, I don't have any of my equipment, considering they were convicted by G.U.N," Kyle says.

Nicole simply gives the human a firm glare to see him sitting down.

"It's the truth hacker's honer. I can tell that you're an A.I the moment you enter this center. I don't want to hack into your system," Kyle says, and gives her a calm smile.

Nicole sighs, "You're right. I am an A.I and I'm in charge of the system in New Mobotropolis, but don't get any ideas on hacking into my system. My friends will be alerted if something hack into my computer system and knows it's you."

"I promise not to hack into your system, my dear," Kyle says.

Then smiles, "I think I should properly introduce myself. My name is Kyle, and it's a pleasure to meet you Nicole.

"Charmed," Nicole simply says.

"So I'm assuming you're aware of the missile that attacked the ship I was being transported in?" Kyle asks.

"Yes," Nicole says.

Kyle then says, "I have a theory that the Mole might be someone who knows where to strike the ship and figure out where we are."

Nicole eyes wide in shock to hear this information.

"Then that means, they could have some kind of tracker on the communicators," Nicole says.

"Yes. That's the reason why I hacked into G.U.N servers. To search for a couple of cases filed and I'll give you the name of who I suspect is the Mole. however, there is one condition," Kyle says.

"And what will that be?" Nicole asks.

Kyle grins and says, "It's quite simple. I only ask if you let me alter your data a bit."

"My data?" Nicole asks, shocked.

"Yes. I can give you powers to protect this city and to protect those you care about. I will also like to have a copy of your A.I. Code," Kyle says.

Nicole grows concerned about it, "Why do you want my A.I Code?"

"I have my reasons. The decision is up to you. I saw the chaser files that are connected to the one man who works in the drone mission and connected to other criminal empires servers, and those cases are more than missions. It's something worse. It will be something that will also put your friends endanger if the Mole finds out I'm here," Kyle says.

He then asks, "So Nikki, do we have a deal?"

Nicole grows concern to hear the information. She can figure that whoever is after Kyle can put her friends at risk. She feels that she has no other choice, she has to accept his deal.

In Freedom HQ, Sonic and Sally walk to Team Dark about the situation more. Team Dark also explains on how they need to protect Kyle from any other danger.

"Aright Shadow, we'll keep Kyle safe until further notice," Sally says.

"Glad you got him locked up and your little A.I is keeping him locked up," Rouge says.

"Still, who could have sent that missile after you guys?" Sonic asks.

Just then, Nicole appears in the HQ.

"Hello Sally, I have received important in tell from Kyle," Nicole says.

"What is it?" Sally asks.

"Kyle seems to have hacked into the G.U.N information and said he has important criminal organization information and discovered the server in the data," Nicole says.

"That's good," Sally says.

Nicole frowns, "Sadly, he said that he'll give me the data if I gave him some of mine and my A.I Code."

"He wants WHAT?!" Sonic asks, shocked.

"Yes. He said he'll give me the data if I gave him mine," Nicole says.

"Are… are you sure this?" Sally asks.

Shadow steps forward, "I don't think you should trust him."

"I know. However, I… I had to carry out his deal. When I looked over the case that are connected to the drone missions that are ordered by a sergeant named John Miller," Nicole says.

Hearing the name makes Shadow and Rouge concern.

"So it's him," Shadow says.

"According to Kyle, he saw the previous news of different victims killed and compared them to G.U.N missions and in a twist, they seem to be connected and the Sergeant has been lying to his superior the entire time," Nicole says.

"That's not a good sign. From everything that's going on, it is highly possible that Sergeant Miller whats to dispose Kyle before he can share the information with any of us," Shadow says.

"So he was the one who sent the missile at the ship," Sonic says.

"I believe so. With him being a sergeant, he could have some access to G.U.N information, meaning he will know where Kyle is being transported too," Sally says.

"So he's the one behind the crash, but how are we going to prove it other than what Kyle shared?" Rouge asks.

Suddenly, they hear a loud explosion causing the ground to shake.

"What is that?" Sally asks.

"It came from outside," Shadow says.

Sonic, Sally, Nicole, and Team Dark hurry outside to see what is going on. When they come out, they're shocked to see a giant 4 legged drone robot with a G.U.N logo on the side. Just then, it fires missiles at the ground where Sonic and the others are. They all quickly dodge out of the way to see the missile burns some of the ground.

Shadow says, "Its Sgt. Miller!"

In a dark room, an old man wearing a G.U.N uniform. The man is Sgt. Miller and he sees Sonic and his friends along with Team Dark on the monitor.

He sternly says, "I don't want them to find out about Kyle's secret."

Then commands the robot, "Eliminate them."

The 5 legged drone robot begins to aim its missiles at Sonic and the others. The Freedom Fighters and Team Dark position themselves and be ready for a fight. The group of Mobian glare at their robotic opponent as the robot aims the missiles at them. They soon are about to begin an epic battle.
