Chapter 7: The Coup Invasion
Sleeping in the bedroom, Sonic, Eve and all of their friends are getting restful sleep and possibly dreams. Suddenly, the door slowly opens, and Rosie enters the room. Coming in behind her are Bernadette and Aleena.
Rosie slowly shakes Sally, "Princess, it's time to wake up."
Bernadette shakes Eve, "Children, you need to wake up."
Eve yawns a little and slowly opens her eyes to see her adopted mother.
"Mommy, what are you doing here?" Eve asks, feeling tired.
"I'm sorry Eve, but we need to leave," Bernadette says.
Just then, Sally begins to wake up as well, along with the other children.
"Rosie… what's wrong?" Sally asks with a yawn.
"Hush my princess. We need to hurry," Rosie says.
"Mom, what's going on?" Manic asks.
"Come children, we need to get going," Aleena says.
After being awaken, the children follow the two grown hedgehogs and Rosie down the halls of the castle.
"Mommy, where are we going? It's not nice to play games," Sonia asks.
"This isn't a game sweetie. We're going to Knothole," Aleena answers.
"Why?" Manic asks.
"We'll tell you later," Rosie answers.
Running down the halls, they are able to get out of the front gates of the palace. Suddenly, they hear destructive blasting sounds. The kids quickly turn around and gasp to see strange robots are attacking the castle and are beginning to attack the city.
"Mommy?! What's going on?" Eve scaredy asks.
"We need to go now," Bernadette answers.
Sally tries to get out of Rosie's arms as she screams, "What about daddy?"
"Your father wanted to make sure you're safe, we need to go," Rosie says.
Rosie, Bernadette, and Aleena grab the children and run away from the castle. Sally begins to shed tears knowing that her father is still in the castle. However, she knows that her father wants her to be protected and safe from the danger that is happening now.
Soon many people are running out of their homes and are trying to escape out of the city. Robots and tanks are attacking the city with full force. The robots also capture many of the citizens separating many children from their parents.
Eve begins to grow scared to see all of this happening. She looks around to see buildings are being destroyed and the citizens are being taken by robots. Many have also been caught in the crossfire and receives damages.
Sonic grabs Eve's hand, "Come on Eve!"
Eve takes Sonic's hand and follow him with the others to get away. Suddenly, Eve starts to feel strange. She begins to feel dazed and dizzy as she tries to run. Some reason, what's happening is making her feel confused, scared, and familiar.
Eve soon sees herself running while someone holds her hand. However, she can't remember who it is.
"This feeling… I feel that I was running away with someone too," Eve says in thought and fear.
Eve snaps back to reality and see her family and friends are trying to get out of the city. Suddenly, robots begin to attack them. They try to hit them and capture them, but the group continue to run. Suddenly, the laser has land right in front of them, sending them back to the ground. Everyone ends up getting separated from each other.
Everyone try to get back up, but some are having trouble doing so. Sally rubs her head as she sits up, feeling the pain in her head. Suddenly, one of the robots blasts the building and large debris are going to fall on Sally.
Bunnie rushes over, "Sally, look out!"
Bunnie pushes Sally out of the way, but is caught in the crossfire and gets severely injured from the falling debris.
Eve gasps, "Bunnie!"
Bunnie lower body and left arm has been damaged by the debris and has fallen unconscious. Eve tries to run to her, but stops a few feet away from her. Eve pupils begin to shrink and her arms begins to shake rapidly. Bunnie's images begin to change to a blurry image, a light color with yellow on the top, and different blue colors on the body. Eve becomes paralyzed to see Bunnie like this, and is starting to see something else.
Suddenly, Eve snaps back to hear a strange sound. She look up to see the robots about to grab Bunnie.
Eve rushes over and grabs her. She hugs Bunnie with all her might.
Then screams, "Leave her alone!"
Without thinking, Eve raises her hand and swing it across the front of her, and light yellow spears hit the robots and explode at an instant. Eve looks up and is shocked to see the robots are destroyed.
Eve looks at her hand, "Did I… what did I just do?"
Bernadette quickly gives Eve a hug, "Sweetie, are you alright?"
"I… I think so," Eve answers, confused and frightened.
Eve shakes her head, "Hurry, we need to get Bunnie out of here!"
"You're right," Sonic says, zooming to them.
Sonic quickly grabs the debris and hurry to get them off of Bunnie. Sally and the others rush over and help her out. They manage to free Bunnie, but almost have of her body is badly damaged and is still out cold.
"Bunnie, wake up. Please wake up. Can you hear me?" Sally begs.
"Come on, we have to hurry, "Aleena says.
Aleena picks up Bunnie and everyone hurry into the woods and out of the city. They are able to reach the outskirt of the city. Bernadette stops to see the city being destroyed by the robots and some are coming this way.
Bernadette puts Sonic and Eve down. She decides to make a heartbreaking decision.
She looks at the two, and says, "Sonic. Eve. I need you to go on ahead with your Aunt Aleena."
"But what about you?" Sonic asks.
"I need to get the robots away while you all make your escape. Then I need to find your father," Bernadette says.
Eve hugs her mother, "No. You can't. We need to stick together."
"Please mom, you can't leave us," Sonic says.
"I know, but it must be done for your safety. This won't stop until all of us are captured. Sonic, I want you and your sister to take care of each other and stay with Rosie and Aunt Aleena at all time," Bernadette says.
Eve and Sonic becomes sad that they're on the verge of crying. Then they both give their mother a hug. Sonic and Eve let go of their mother and hold each other hands. Then they slowly walks towards the woods. The stop to see their mother.
Having a tear from her face, Bernadette says, "I love you Sonic. I love you Eve."
"We love you too, mommy," Eve says.
Then the two take off into the woods to find Rosie and Aunt Aleena. Bernadette stands up and looks to see the robots heading towards her. She then begins to run away from where the children are going.
Sonic and Eve hurry into the woods so they can find Knothole. The two are very scared and upset about leaving their mother behind, but she wants them to keep running.
Suddenly, they hear someone calls out, "Sonic! Eve!"
The two look ahead to see their Uncle Chuck.
"Uncle Chuck!" Sonic screams.
Sonic and Eve run towards their Uncle Chuck and both hug him as they begin to cry.
Uncle chuck pat them both on the back, "There there, everything will be fine."
"But… Mommy told us to leave without here. She lure the robots away from us so we can get to Knothole," Eve says.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Now let's get to Knothole," Uncle Chuck says.
Sonic sniffs, "Okay Uncle Chuck."
Sonic, Eve, and Uncle Chuck run into the woods to get to Knothole that is far deep into the woods.
In a lab that is full of machines and robots Dr. Julius Robotnik is now in a different outfit. He is wearing a red, yellow and black color body suit with a cape. With his hat he is revealed to be bold. Typing on the computers is a little man wearing a green color body suits, a long nose, and only has six strains of hair.
Robotnik asks, "Status Report Snively."
"Yes, Sir. The Destroyer reports 90% of Robotropolis affected, sir," Snively answers, looking at a paper.
"Excellent! What are the prisoner numbers?" Robotnik replies.
Snively looks at the papers, and says, "85% of the population captured and awaiting robotization, sir."
"Good. Send out more worker bots to the Great Forest to find the escaped Citizens," Robotnik says.
"Yes sir. Right away," Snively says.
Robotnik sits on the chair and watch on the cameras to see many of the robots have taken over the city. Now the city of Mobotropolis is being transform into a city of machines, factories, and smoke. Robotnik maniacally laughs to see that his plan has been a success.
In a quiet village of Knothole less than fifty percent of the citizens of Mobotropolis has escaped and refuged here. Among them are Sally and her friends, Rosie and Aleena. The tow grown ups notice that Sonic, Eve and Bernadette are missing.
"Mommy, where's Sonic and Eve?" Sonia asks.
"Yeah. Where's Bernadette," Manic asks.
"I don't know. They should have been here," Aleena says.
She then rubs Bunnie on her head and looks at her with sadness, "The poor dear."
"Aleena!" A familiar voice calls out.
Aleena, Rosie, and the children look to see Sonic and Eve running towards them with Uncle Chuck.
"Charles!" Aleena says with relief.
"Sonic! Eve! You're okay," Sally says.
"Course we are," Sally says.
Antoine notices someone missing, "Um, where's Bernadette?"
Sonic and Eve saddens to hear the question.
"Charles, what happened?" Rosie asks.
"I'm afraid that Bernadette lead the robots away to give you all time to get to Knothole. I found the children alone and took them here," Uncle Chuck answers.
Aleena and Rosie gasps in shock to hear this.
Sonic asks, "Uncle Chuck, Bunnie has been hurt. Can you help her?"
"Sure sonnie," Uncle Chuck says.
Uncle Chuck walks to Aleena who has Bunnie in her arms. Uncle Chuck observes Bunnie and takes a good look at her left arm and both of her legs.
"Hmm," Uncle Chuck says.
"Uncle Chuck?" Eve asks.
"Well, her almost half of her body is destroyed and Bunnie doesn't have much time left, but…. I know a way to save her," Uncle Chuck says.
He then turns to Aleena, "Aleena, I need you to come with me."
Aleena nods her head and carries Bunnie in her arms to the house Uncle Chuck is heading in. Sonic, Eve, and the others watch with concern, hoping that Uncle Chuck can save Bunnie from this fate.
In a strange chamber, King Acorn looks around to find himself trapped with no escape. He knows that Robotnik has plans for him, but is relief knowing that his daughter is safe. He is also concern for how long her safety will last.
Robotnik is now standing in a control room looking through a window to see the strange chamber where King Acorn is being held.
King Acorn sternly says to Robotnik, "No matter how long it takes Julius, You will be stop!"
"Courageous words, Sire, but where you're going that won't be possible. And the name is Ivo Robotnik now," Robotnik says.
He then says to the robot, "Open the void."
A robot presses a button on the control panel. Suddenly, one of the walls in the chamber begins to open revealing a strange purple and yellow spiral portal. Before he knows it, King Acorn finds himself being sucked into the portal. King Acorn manages to grab the floor and tries to hold on with all of his might.
Robotnik smirks, and says, "Impressive, don't you think? Be sure to give Nagus my regards. He's the sorcerer who invented it and your new neighbor. Safe journey, Sire."
King Acorn is unable to hold on to the ground any longer. His hand slips away and is being sucked into the strange portal.
"You'll regret this Julius, you'll regret this!" King Acorn shouts in anger as he falls into the strange portal.
The portal wall closes when he falls in, trapping him in the place Robotnik calls a void forever.
