Episode 10: A Chaos Sun Abducted
In an unknown location, Sun is unconscious and is laying in some kind of steel table or something. She is unconscious as she has bruises and scrapes on body and her face, even her clothes shows of tatters and marks. From her condition, Sun isn't going to wake up anytime soon.
Just then, someone walks over to Sun who is still knocked out. The being with a gray bandaged hand and wrists covered in gold rings places place it on Sun's forehead and looks the injuries on it. Just then, the mysterious abductor shows a strange dark energy. He then shows a sinister smirk on his face.
Then reaches the other hand to see the charm on Sun's right wrist that is on her stomach. He finds it fascinating. He then removes his hand and places it on Sun's geode necklace. He simply rubs it with his finger and it begins to shine.
He then turns to see the injury Sun has on her left arm. When he touches it, Sun subconsciously grits her teeth. He can see that Sun has a severe injury and needs to be mended. He then proceeds to take care of Sun's possible injuries.
Meanwhile, Sonic, Sally, and the others are searching for Sun while Silver has taken Cream to Li-Yuen to have her injuries mended. Sonic and Sally are searching far from the village to the direction Sun has been blasted to.
Sonic calls out, "SUN! Where are you?!"
"Sun!" Sally calls out.
Amy looks around and calls out, "Sun! Sun!"
Sally asks, "Where could she be? She couldn't be thrown that far."
"I know, but we need to keep looking. Sun could be hurt or even worse," Sonic says.
"I know Sonic. I'm not planning on giving up either," Sally says.
"I do hope she's okay," Amy replies.
"Sonic! Sally! Amy!" A voice calls out.
Sonic, Sally, and Amy look up to see Monkey Khan riding on his cloud and descends to ground level. When he reaches the ground, he walks towards Sally and the others.
Sally asks in concern, "Did you find her?"
"No. I searched from my end, but I did find her. However… I managed to find something," Monkey Khan says.
He then takes out the necklace two the two separate suns.
"I found this right on the ground," Khan says.
Sally gasps in shock to see the necklace, "I… It's Sun!"
"It is?" Sonic asks.
Khan gives the necklace to Sally allowing her to see it.
"Yes. Sun showed to me. She told me that her mother was a jeweler and made this necklace for her. It's very important to her and hardly ever takes it off," Sally says.
"That doesn't sound good," Amy says, concern.
"It's not. Something must have happened to her after she crashed in the clearing back there," Khan says.
Suddenly, Khan feels a sharp pain in his legs and falls on his knees.
"Ken!" Sally says in concern.
"I...I'm okay. My legs still feel rather sore," Khan says.
"We better get you back to the shrine and check on Cream and Cheese," Sally says.
Sometime later, Cream has her injuries mended and is fast asleep while Cheese is sleeping next to him. Monkey Khan is laying down close to her and is wide away. He can't stop thinking about Sun and where she could have gone. He wants to help, but he is still injured from his battle against Glittering Sparkle.
In the dining room, Sonic and the others explains to Silver what has happened.
"What?! What do you mean Sun is gone?!"Silver exclaims in shock.
"Like we said. Sun somehow disappeared. Monkey Khan found her necklace on the ground and we think Sun landed there. Either way, she has disappeared," Sally says.
"But how could that be?" Silver asks.
"If we know it then we would have found Sun by now," Sonic says, annoyed.
"I do hope we find her, but where could she be, "Amy says.
"We'll have to go where Ken said he found her necklace. Ken gave me the exact location," Sally says.
Sonic stands up, "I'll head over there right now!"
With that, Sonic super speed out of the dining room and head out to find Sun.
Sally sighs, "That hedgehog."
"What do we do until he comes back?" Silver asks.
"I'm going to call the others and let them know what's going on. I'm going to need Knuckles and Espio for this one as well," Sally says.
"You're right. Since Sun still have the Chaos Emeralds in her bag, he might be able to track her when she's close by," Silver says.
"And you said that Espio is original from the Dragon Kingdom with the Shinobi Clan. He can ask them if they've seen her or not," Amy says.
"I can only hope so," Sally says in concern.
Sally then brings out her communication and call Freedom HQ.
Sonic super speed to where Monkey Khan has found the necklace. He looks around to see if Sun is still in the area.
Sonic calls out, "Sun! Sun! Answer me, Sun!"
Sonic then super speed away from the clearing to look around to see if Sun is somewhere else. Unknown to Sonic, someone has sighted from from the tree. The someone is a pink chameleon with a peach muzzle and green eyes. She also has a yellow horn between her eyes. She wears white gloves with sock-like cuffs, and yellow boots. She can sense trouble and knows that this must be reported. She makes herself invisible and leaves the scene.
In Freedom HQ of New Mobotropolis, Rotor and the others are in the meeting room simply playing a game of cards. Nicole watches the game from her screen with a smile on her face.
Bunnie asks, "Got any threes?"
"Go fish," Rotor says.
Bunnie then takes the card from the pile.
Just then, Nicole says, "An incoming call from Sally."
Rotor, Bunnie, and Antoine turns to see Nicole on the screen. Nicole digitize herself out of the screen and gain a physical form. She then sees Sally on the screen.
"Howdy Sally girl, how did things go?" Bunnie asks.
"Not well, Sun has suddenly disappeared!" Sally says worried.
"What?!" Rotor asks shocked.
"Mon dieu…" Antoine says, concern.
"Sun was able to free Amy from the Chaos Emerald, but Glittering Sparkle attacked her and Sun is sent back," Sally says.
"Do you have any leads?" Bunnie asks.
"Monkey Khan found her necklace and Sonic decided to check where he found it," Sally says.
"We'll head to the Dragon Kingdom right away check to see what has happened," Nicole says.
"Thank you. I'll see you as soon as you can," Sally says.
Then the screen turns off. Sally places her communicator down on the tale and lets out a sigh in concern. She wonders where Sun could have disappeared to, or if she's even okay.
"I-I don't think I can just stand here knowing Sun is somewhere all alone," Silver says.
"I know what you mean, but without a solid lead," Sally says.
"Then our hands are tied," Amy says in concern.
Just then, Sonic returns to the dining room to see the others are sitting in concern.
Sally asks, "Anything."
"Nothing. It's like Sun just vanished," Sonic says.
He groans in frustration and sits down, "I don't know. I'm supposed to be fast, but it's not enough to find her."
"I want to find her as much as you do, but without any solid lead, we can't do much," Silver says.
"I already called Rotor and the others and said that they'll leave as soon as we can. I was just about to call Knuckles and the Chaotix.
Li-Moon walks over and asks, "Would you like some tea?"
"Thank you Li-Moon, we can really use some," Sally says.
Li-Moon, then begins to pour the tea into the cups on the table.
Sonic says in concern, "I really hope so. I'm getting a bad feeling that Sun might need our help… and I mean a really bad feeling."
Sally thinks, "I hope we can find her soon. I have to agree with Sonic. I got a bad feeling something might happen to her."
Sally then picks up the communicator and proceed to call Knuckles and the others. Unknown to them, the pink chameleon from earlier is watching them from the tree. She hears how worried they are about their friend and will do anything to find her and be sure she's safe.
Meanwhile, Sun is still unconscious in an unknown room. There is only one window and one door, with no other way out. She is sleeping on a soft mattress on the floor. Her head laying on the pillow and a blanket covering the rest of her body.
Sun groans as she begins to open her eyes. She then places her right hand on the ground and pushes herself up a little. The blanket falls a little from her shoulder.
"My… my head…" Sun says, groggy and her eyes half open.
Sun looks around to see that she isn't in the same place she used to be anymore.
"What is this place?" Sun asks herself looking around.
Sun looks down to notice that she has bandage wraps around some parts of her body, and has a cast on her left arm.
"I must have hurt my arm pretty bad, but how did I get here? And who put these bandages on me? Why am I even here?" Sun asks herself and looks at her injuries.
Sun then tries to get up, but flinches to feel the pain from them too. She looks down to see her has bandages around her feet and ankles. Not only that, but her body begins to feel a lot of pain. She has no choice but to sit back down. Sun then looks at her right wrist and gasps to notice that her bracelet is gone. Sun then touches her chest and notices that her geode and her special necklace are gone too.
"Oh no. My geode. My bracelet. My necklace. They're… they're gone…" Sun thinks in distress.
Sun then looks around to notice the bag that has the Chaos Emeralds are gone too. She realize that the situation is getting worse. She's in a place she doesn't know, her friends have no clue what happened, and her geodes, necklace, bracelet with charms, and the Chaos Emeralds are gone. She is badly injured so she can't move so much.
This makes Sun asks herself, "What am I going to do?"
Suddenly, she hears a strange click. Sun turns her head to see the door opens and someone walks inside. Sun is shocked to see the being is an echidna, but it's a completely different color than Knuckles and Julie-Su.
The Echidna has white fur, a peach skin, yellow pupils and black sclera in his eyes, and red rims around the eyes. He also has a strange yellow diamond on his forehead. He wears a black cape with a white star at the front, and attached to some gold clips with crescents on it. Sun notices that he has rings on both his arms and legs, and gray bandages wrapped around his hands and feet, and wears silver color glasses.
The echidna simply smiles, but it makes Sun feel weary. She can't help but feel something isn't right about him.
"I knew you had to be the girl I saw on Angel Island. I must admit, I find what you did is quite impressive," The echidna says.
"Who… who are?" Sun softly asks.
My name is Dr. Finitevus, it's a pleasure to meet you my dear," The white Echidna says.
"Um, please to meet you, too," Sun nervously says.
Then thinks, "This is very sudden and is very bad… I never thought I would find myself being taken by this echidna of all people. He seems to be harmless, but I can't help but feel something is wrong about him."
Then remembers in her thought, "But still… This is the same one that turned Knuckles into Enerjak and used him to have the planet destroyed."
Then hears Finitevus asks, "What is your name, child?"
"Uh, um, it's Sun," Sun says, trying to remain calm.
"Hmm, quite a simple name, isn't it," Finitevus replies.
"But um, excuse me, but can you tell me how I got here?" Sun asks.
Finitevus then creates a smirk on his face, making Sun worried.
Then answers, "I happen to seed your little fight and being blasted to the ground. Consider this as an invitation. After all, you peaked my curiosity."
"But why? And what do you mean…" Sun asks, confused and concerned.
The echidna then place his hand under Sun's chin and cuffs it.
"When I saw you used the Master Emerald on Angel Island and used such unique powers, I became interested about you and your abilities."
Sun is stunned to hear what Finitevus is saying.
Then he continues, "When I saw you fight in the Dragon Kingdom, I knew how powerful you are. I'm going to analyze you to see how special you truly are."
"So then, you were the ones who took my um jewelry and the Chaos Emeralds?" Sun asks.
Then he asks, "If you don't mind me asking, but how did you require all seven Chaos Emeralds, and the jewels that give you these powers."
"Um well, it's kind of a long story, it's kind of complicated per say, but um. I don't know if I…" Sun says, skeptic.
"That's quite alright. I'm sure to find out sooner or later," Finitevus says.
Sun grows worried to hear this.
Then the echidna says walking towards, "I'll start by analyzing those gems of yours and see how they gave you the power. I suggest you rest so you can recover. Then we can begin."
Finitevus leaves and closes the door. Sun soon hears a click knowing that he locked the door. Sun looks worried and wonders what she should do. All she knows, she is trapped here.
Meanwhile, on Angel Island, Julie-Su has her bionic dreadlock up forming a satellite much to her dismay. Vector covers his mouth to prevent laughing at her. He thinks Julie-Su looks like a satellite dish. Her bionic dreadlock is connected to a wire that allows Knuckles to contact Sally on a small television.
Knuckles exclaims in shock, "What?! Sun is gone?!"
"I'm afraid so. She disappeared and we don't know what happened," Sally says.
"Did you have any leads," Knuckles asks.
Sonic appears on the screen, "Monkey Khan found her necklace, but somehow she suddenly disappeared after fighting Glittering Sparkle?"
"We figure that you and Espio might be able to help us. Since you can sense the Chaos Emeralds if they're close by and Espio knows about the Dragon Kingdom and can ask his master about it," Sally says.
"We'll head straight over," Knuckles says.
Amy then comes up, "And you better do it ASAP. Sonic is starting to get worried sick."
"Amy? You're out?" Knuckles asks, surprised.
"Yes. And it's all thanks to Sun, but now we need to find her so hop to it!" Amy says.
Then the connection hangs up.
Julie-Su sighs, "This is bad."
"It is bad. Sun is gone and she has the Chaos Emeralds with her," Knuckles says.
Espio then brings out a ring, "Then it's a good thing we have a few of our Warp Rings. We can get to the Dragon Kingdom in seconds."
Espio then tosses the ring on the ground and it enlarges in size.
"Right. Let's go," Knuckles says.
Knuckles, Julie-Su, and the Chaotix walk through the Warp Ring and it closes when they all walk through.
Outside of Li-Yuen's home, the Warp Ring appears and Knuckles along with the others walk out. Sonic and Sally walk out of the house to see Knuckles and the others.
"Thanks for coming, Knux," Sonic says.
"I felt that we have too," Knuckles says.
Suddenly, they hear a strange sound and see another plane flying this way. They see Rotor, Nicole, and the rest of the Freedom Fighters. Rotor lands the plane just outside of the village. Not long, Rotor and the others join Sonic and the rest of the gang.
"We got here as soon as we can," Nicole says.
"Oui. We rushed as soon as we could," Antoine says.
"Thank you for coming at short notice," Sally says.
Sonic says, "Now that's everyone is here, let's discuss the situation.
In a large room, Sonic and Sally explain to Knuckles, Julie-Su and the Chaotix along with the Freedom Fighters about what happened. And it's not unexpected that it's a shocking statement for them. Cream and Cheese have been hurt and Sun disappeared. It is shocking indeed.
Knuckles clutches his fists in anger, "How could she? How could Glittering Sparkle do that and to Cream of all people?"
"We think the Dark Chaos Emerald is corrupting her further and further. From the looks of it, she might lose her sanity and humanity entirely," Sally says, concerned.
"But what about Sun?" Charmy asks.
"We don't have any leads to go on," Silver says.
Vector groans, "I don't know how we're going to solve this case."
"Still, Sun has been blasted pretty hard and flown a far distance," Sally says.
"Ouch! Sounds like it will hurt her," Mighty.
"It would. I still don't know how Sun could have gotten off to. For all we know, she could have been badly hurt. She might have wondered off or landed somewhere else," Sonic says in concern.
Vector scratches his head in concern, "Or perhaps, she was abducted by someone."
Sonic almost drops Sun's necklace, but quickly grabs it, "Abducted?!"
That cause the others to be concerned as well.
"Vector! Don't say something like that! You want us to be more worried," Amy angrily says.
"Just stating a possibility," Vector says.
"A possibility that might be true," A calm female voice says.
Everyone pauses and becomes confused to hear a voice and have no clue where it comes from.
"Who was that?" Nicole asks.
Espio senses, "We're not alone here."
Sonic and the others look around to find the source. Just then, the pink chameleon appears in the center of the group.
"Liza?" Espio asks, surprised.
"Hello Espio, it's been a while," The chameleon says.
"Yes it was, but what are you doing here?" Espio asks.
"To simply put it, I know what became of your friend and she was abducted by someone," Liza says.
This cause Sonic and the others gasp in shock.
Sonic asks, shocked, "What do you mean she is abducted?"
"Yes. I have witnessed the situation and then I saw you. I've asked the Bride of Constant Vigil about the situation. She said that I am able to reveal myself to you about the situation and share what I know," Liza says.
Espio calmly smiles, "Thank you Liza."
"Okay Liza, think you can tell us anything you know about what happened to Sun?" Mighty asks.
"It's not much, but I'll explain the best that I could. I was scouting the area when I heard the sound of something crashing. I remained invisible until I saw your friend. I never saw a human and red and yellow hair with amber skin and teal like colored eyes," Liza says.
"Yeah. That kid is different since she's from a different world," Vector says.
Knuckles turns to Liza, "Continue."
"Yes. I was about to make contact and bring her to have her injuries checked," Liza says.
"Injuries?" Sonic asks.
"Yes. She must have become stunned on her legs and I suspect she broke her left arm," Liza says.
"Oh no," Amy says, worried.
"And I suspect something prevented you from making contact with Sun?" Sally asks.
"Yes. A Wrap Ring appeared out of nowhere and someone grabbed her and pulled her through. I remained hidden and I saw Monkey Khan arrive at the area to find her necklace," Liza says.
"A Warp Ring?" Ray says, confused.
"Yes," Liza answers.
"That explains why we didn't find any other clues," Sonic says.
"But that doesn't make any sense. Warp Rings are very rare and no one should even know about Sun," Knuckles says.
"Did you see who came out of it?" Julie-Su asks.
"I didn't get a good look, but I believe I saw a pair of arms, but the hands seemed to be bandaged up and his arms are covered in rings, and they look like Warp Rings," Liza says.
"Bandages on the hands?" Julie-Su says, placing her hand on her chin.
"And has Warp Rings on the arms?" Mighty adds.
"And uses them," Knuckle adds.
Sonic begins to think, "Hmm, Liza mentioned a Warp Ring. Do you think those rings could have belonged to y'know Doc Finny-whatsit?"
Knuckles grits his teeth as he clutches his hands in anger.
With a bitter tone, Knuckles answers, "Finitevus. It crossed my mind. But if it was him, why would he take Sun and leave you guys alone? He got just as much reason to hate you, too."
"That maybe, but from Liza's description, we can only assume that it is Finitevus. Question is why? Sun only arrived over a week ago. Sure, everyone in New Mobotropolis knows, but then how could he," Sally answers.
Nicole then says, "Sally, if you don't mind if I make a suggestion. There's another line of inquiry we should think about."
"Anything might help at this point," Espio says.
"Although it may be highly possible that Finitevus could have been related to Sun's disappearance. We don't fully know. Sun was able to reveal her powers in the city and everyone could have known and someone could have leaked the information to others," Nicole says.
"That does sound possible," Ray replies.
"Yes. However, the only places where Sun used her powers outside of New Mobotropolis are Angel Island and here in Stormtop Village. Let's also remember that Sun was able to use the Master Emerald to purify the Chaos Emerald and Knuckles on the island," Nicole says.
"Let's not forget Sun freed Cream and Cheese in her home world, me in the city, and Amy here in Stromtop Village," Sonic replies.
"Yes," Nicole says.
Then turns, "Sally, we all saw Sun used the Master Emerald and freed Knuckles from the Chaos Emerald, and including Sun uses her powers with her geode and bracelet with charms. Do you think it could have something to do with it?"
That cause Sally to grow deeply concerned.
"Perhaps, Finitevus might have been there when we're on Angel Island fighting against Glittering Sparkle. It is possible he might have seen Sun use her powers with the necklace and charms. Let us also include Sun using the Master Emerald to cure Knuckles," Nicole says.
This cause the others to grow very worried.
"After that, Finitevus must have been spying on Sun and saw her using her powers. Then he proceeded to…" Nicole says, but stops in concern.
Espio then concludes, "Steal her for his own ambitions."
This shocked everyone, especially Knuckles.
"You don't mean… but, he wouldn't" Knuckles asks, shocked.
"If he's still set on trying to cleanse our world, then he might find a way to use her powers somehow. Even if it means controlling her," Espio adds.
Knuckles then slams his fist to the ground in anger.
Sonic clutches his fist in anger, "Sun."
Meanwhile, still trapped in the room, Sun sits on the bed with nothing else to do. Sun simply sitting on it, not much she can do with being trapped and injured. The poor girl hugs her knees.
She softly says, "Sonic."
She then places her head on her knees and her head feels with sadness. Then, tears begin to fall from her face.
