Hey everyone! Boy do I have some things to talk to you about this cool story. It'll be something interesting to look at if you're really interested into looking at some cool facts about this story. If you're not interested, then enjoy the chapter, if you are then here are some cool facts about Sonic the Hedgehog: Chaos is Freedom.

Fact 1: This story was originally called "Sonic and the Power of the Kingdom Stone". I changed the name, because the story really isn't focusing on the Kingdom Stone. The story is focusing on the three kingdoms going into a chaos, because they want technology that is more advanced than the technology they have. I added freedom not because of "Freedom Planet", but...

Fact 2: This story was primarily going to have Sonic and Eggman in it, but I decided to add Tails and Knuckles in it. I thought it'll make the story more interesting, instead of having two main characters from Sonic's world.

Fact 3: Eggman was originally going to plan on knowing about Avalice before he accidentally brought Sonic and his gang along.

Fact 4: My focus on this story is to make every character have their own stories instead of it being one big whole group having the same story. It'll somewhat be like Sonic 3 Knuckles.

Fact 5: I was planning to make this story kid friendly, but I was not interested in making the story kid friendly. I wanted it to be dark and lighthearted like how the game "Freedom Planet" was. And yes, I wanted to put some edge in it.

Fact 6: More characters were going to be added in the story, but it'll be hard for me to remember which characters are added in the story.

Fact : This story is going to be more action packed than it being a love story. I'm planning on adding fillers for all characters before I make a sequel... Oops, perhaps I said too much. ;)

Fact 9: This whole entire story was going to be about Sonic Team versus Lilac's Team. Sonic Team was going to be locked up for trying to steal back the Chaos Emerald from Royal Magister. They planned an escape and succeeded on escaping. General Gong sends a message to Lilac for help from her team. Both teams were going to have a face off, until Eggman jumped in and attacked them.

Fact 10: This story takes place between Freedom Planet 1 and 2. It also happens after the event of Sonic Lost World.

That's about it! I hope you enjoyed it! Have fun reading this chapter!

Sonic: Hi, I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! Oh man, I didn't expect to see Eggman's robots at all. When me and Lilac were chasing them down, we see a red panda with an emerald inside his staff. We didn't successfully get it away from him, but I have a hunch that he's working with Eggman. Meanwhile, Milla and Tails found us, but didn't come back with a single emerald. He did tell us a guy, by the name Spade snatched one away from him. With Lilac leading, we decided to infiltrate his base, but we got trapped. It's up to Lilac to to beat this guy and get the emerald. Hey! I want to fight too!

Chapter 9

Meanwhile with Lilac, she's standing on a mountain facing Spade. They both stare at each other. Everyone else is standing in a circle, surrounded by the biker ninjas watching. Spade soon jumps in the air and throws a couple of cards at her. Lilac jumps in the air and uses her twin hair to deflect the cards back to him. He uses a card in his hand to block them all. He suddenly gets his face whipped by Lilac. He lands on his back on the ground. Lilac lands on both of her feet. She quickly dashes to him, ready to attack. Spade hops off the ground, jumping over Lilac. He throws a card at her leg, cutting it. Lilac screams a little and falls on the ground. Spade smirks, watching her get up. Blood starts seeping out of her leg, dripping. Milla gasps in horror

Milla: LILAC!

She yells out

Lilac: I- I'm okay!

She has her eyes dead on Spade, ready for his next move. They both dash towards each other. Lilac rolls into a ball and knocks him back on the ground. She comes back and runs him over a couple of times, until he gets up and kicks her. Spade quickly jumps into the shadows. Lilac gets up and looks around for him. She stands very still, until she sees a card heading towards her. She jumps out the way in the nick of time. What she didn't know is that was a trap. A card cuts her back, ripping her shirt. Lilac falls on her hands, then gets kicked.

Sonic: LILAC!

Tails: Sonic! Do something!

Sonic didn't know what to do. He knew if he moved, he would put everyone in danger. Lilac gets up, only to get knocked back down on the ground.

Spade: You should've thought twice, Lilac.

He lands in front of her. Lilac slowly gets up using her hands. Spade was about to throw in another punch, but Lilac catches his fist.

Lilac: E- even though I'm yet to be on par with you, I've learned not to give up!

She kicks him in the face, sending him flying. Everyone starts cheering for her.

Tails: YES LILAC!

Spade slides across the field on his back. He does a back flip to land on his feet. He throws some more cards at her. Quick on her feet, she manages to dodge all of them. Spade jumps back, continuing to throw cards at her. Lilac continues to dodge them with ease. She jumps in the air, ready to attack him. A biker ninja hops on his bike and rides over as fast as possible. The biker jumps in the air with his bike, then jumps off.

Lilac: It's time for you to finally- UGH!

Lilac gets hit with the motorcycle, knocking her out of the air. She lands on her back, grimacing. Sonic growls.

Sonic: I have enough of this!

Sonic looks at Tails.

Sonic: Tails! Remember team blast?!

Tails nods, smirking.

Tails: Sure do!

Tails looks at Mills.

Tails: Milla! Grab my ankles and lift me up in the air!

Milla tilts her head in confusion. She obliges, grabbing his ankles and lifting him up in the air. Sonic jumps in the air and lets Tails grab him by the ankles.

Original idea: Sonic and Tails uses Combo Attack from Sonic 4 Ep 2

Spade saunters towards her, smirking.

Spade: You thought you had your victory, but it didn't turn out how you thought.

Tails looks down at Milla.

Tails: Spin as fast as you can, Milla!

Milla nods. She starts spinning in circles.

Spade pulls out a card.

Spade: As I said in the beginning, we win by death.

Milla is spinning all of the around, rapidly.

Tails: In the count of three! Let go!

Milla: Alright!

Lilac tries to get up, but she injured her foot by landing the wrong way. She starts crawling away from him. Spade throws a card at her leg, making her scream in pain. At two, Tails lets go of Sonic. Sonic flies in the air. At three, Tails flies in the air towards Sonic. Tails kicks Tails kicks Sonic.

Sonic: BLAST AWAY!

At light speed, he starts destroying most of the biker ninjas. Most of the motorcycles explodes, making the rest jump away from the explosion. Once Sonic landed, everyone gets blasted away from the wind he caused. Tails and Milla hits their back against the wall. Sonic looks at Spade who is seemingly toying with Lilac.

Spade steps in front of her, stopping her from moving.

Spade: This is where you rest in peace, Lilac.

Lilac shuts her eyes tightly. She waits for his final blow. She opens her eyes and looks up. Sonic is standing in front of her, smirking. She looks and sees Spade lying down on the ground. He gets up and rubs his face.

Sonic: Why not fight me?!

Spade slowly stands on both of his feet. Tails and Milla ran over to the incapacitated lavender dragon.

Milla: Lilac! I'm so glad that Sonic saved you!

Milla helped her up with Tails. She wraps her arm around Milla trying to stand.

Lilac: Yeah. I'm okay, though.

Spade takes his cards out.

Spade: Nice save, rat.

Sonic annoyingly rolls his eyes.

Sonic: Here we go with the rat thing again. I'm a hedgehog- WHOA!

Sonic dodges the card that Spade threw at him. He was trying to distract him from looking. Sonic lands on his feet, then dashes to him.

Sonic: You almost had me there, buddy! May I remind you that I'm the world's fastest...

When Sonic got close, he uppercuts him. Spade grunts, flying in the air.

Sonic: Hedgehog!

Spade lands on his back. Sonic lands in front of him and wipes his shoe off.

Sonic: Now. You have something that you need to give us, little puppy.

Spade gets up and kneels. He looks up at Sonic.

Spade: I'm a panda. and you may have one this round, but once we cross each other again, you won't win.

Spade suddenly throws him the Chaos Emerald. Sonic catches it, then starts break dancing. He throws the emerald in the air and catches it; he twirls around a bit, then sticks his thumbs up.

Sonic: Alright!

Everyone walks up to him.

Tails: You did it, Sonic!

Sonic cockily rubs his nose.

Sonic: You know it, bud. Now time to find out where Hey! Where's he go?!

Spade has vanished somewhere.

Lilac: It doesn't matter where he went. As long as we obtained the Chaos Emerald. We're good for now.

Tails nods in agreement.

Tails: Yeah. Lets head back to the tree house. Hopefully Knuckles and Carol found one.

Sonic: Right.

Later, while walking back, Lilac is talking to Sonic, while the other two is ahead of them.

Lilac: ... I wanna thank you for helping me back there. I thought that I could beat him.

Sonic: Hey. No problem, Lilac. That's what friends are for. We help each other out. We don't leave each other behind.

Sonic looks at her.

Sonic: I don't like seeing my friends, hurt. It's either save them from getting hurt, or watch them get hurt. I sure wasn't going to let him touch you like that ever again.

His tone wasn't as frolicsome that Lilac is used too. His tone sounded more serious. Lilac stares at him for a moment, noticing it.

Lilac: Yeah. I know, Sonic. And I really appreciate your help.

Sonic finally smirks.

Sonic: Again. No problem.

Lilac blushes a little.

Tails: Hey, guys! Come, on!

The duo looks at Tails, waving his hands in the air.

Milla: We're surprised to see you two walking!

Sonic chuckles.

Sonic: Alright! We're coming!

Sonic dashes off, while Lilac stays behind in deep thought. An hour later, they finally arrived at the tree house. They all entered and sees Carol and Knuckles sitting on the couch.

Knuckles: You're back finally.

Carol happily stands.

Carol: About time! I was getting bored.

Tails rubs the back of his head.

Tails: Yeah, uh... we ran into a couple of problems.

Sonic takes out the Chaos Emerald.

Sonic: We've gotten a Chaos Emerald.

It shines brightly into everyone's face.

Carol: Sweet!

Knuckles gets up and walks over.

Knuckles: Nice. but unfortunately, we lost ours by some stupid panda.

Knuckles closes his eyes and crosses his arms against his chest. It reminded Carol what happened earlier.

Carol: Oh yeah! Lilac, Mayor Zao took our emerald!

Sonic: Wait.

Sonic gets a flash back of him and Lilac chasing down the truck that Zao was in.

Sonic: Isn't that the same panda that me and you chased down, Lilac?

Lilac: Yeah!

Lilac sighs, knowing that Zao isn't the type to give up something that easily. Especially if it's an emerald.

Lilac: But what would he want with the emeralds?

Tails: Not only that. Why are Eggman's robots with him?

Sonic taps his foot on the floor board thinking as well. Soon, a paper flies in and hits Carol in the face.

Carol: Hey. What's this?

Carol grabs it and looks at it.

Carol: It's for you, Lilac.

Lilac tilts her head.

Lilac: It's for me?

She takes the paper from her and looks at it. It was a letter from King Dale. She opens up the letter and takes the paper out and reads it. Everyone watches, as she's reading the letter.

Milla: What does it say?

Lilac: King Dale wants to speak to me privately. I wonder why he wants to speak to me. I hope everything is okay.

Knuckles: Who's that?

Lilac: He's the ruler of Shuigang.

Sonic: Well whatever it is, it must be important if he wants to speak to you privately.

Lilac: Yeah... I'll go over tonight. I'm a little tired.

Carol: And beaten up. What happened to you?

Lilac chuckles.

Lilac: We ran into some problems, but I should be asking you the same thing.

Carol smirks.

Carol: This is what I call a man's thing, except that I'm a girl.

Knuckles:That's a man's thing?

He laughs a little.

Knuckles: Take me as an example.

Carol rolls her eyes.

Carol: Oh really now? I thought acting like a jerk isn't part of being a man.

Knuckles growls.

Knuckles: I'll show you, girl!

Tails steps in between them.

Tails: Hey! We don't have time to be arguing. Now, if you may please sit down and be quiet.

The echidna and wild cat looked away sassily.

Tails: While you're away, I'm going to see if I can make a second workshop.

Milla gasps.

Milla: You're bulding a workshop? May I help?!

Tails chuckles.

Tails: Sure. You can help.

Sonic walks towards the door with Lilac.

Sonic: While you guys do that, I'm going to have a run around.

He jumps off.

Lilac: And I'm going to have a talk with King Dale.

Tails: I thought you wanted to rest?

Lilac: Nah, I'll be alright.

Lilac hops off as well.

An half an hour have gone when she finally made it to Shuigang. She walks up to the building where King Dail lives. She showed them the letter that Dail gave her. The guards walked her to the throne room where the king is sitting. Lilac kneeled down to her knee and bowed.

Lilac: King Dail. I have received the letter you have sent. Is there anything you want me to assist on doing?

King Dail smiles.

Dail: Yes, I do have something that I want you to help with. You may rise.

Lilac obliged.

Dail: So... I have a friend that was helpful to send you this letter. Anyway, he told me a lot of interesting things.

Lilac rubs her muzzle, wondering what this "friend" told him.

Dail: He told me that he got teleported here by ancient relics called the Chaos Emeralds.

Lilac covers her mouth.

Dail: He said he wanted to go home, but he then decided to stay to help advance our technology without the use of the Kingdom Stone's energy. Even though the stone has a lot of energy, who know's when we'll run out.

Lilac: Excuse me King Dail, but I do know what you're talking about. I have a friend named Sonic that is looking for the emeralds as well.

Dail: Really now? What I've heard, your so called "friend" is trying to use it for evil deeds.

Lilac's eyes widens.

Lilac: What? But... That's not true! Sonic would never do something like that

Lilac was utterly shocked to hear something like that from Dail. Her heart sank completely. Dail shakes his head.

Dail: I'm afraid not, Lilac. He said that him and this... Sonic has been fighting for years in their dimension. He stopped him a few times, but sometimes he failed to get the emeralds away from him. That's why I brought you here to see if you can stop him from obtaining all the Chaos Emeralds before it's too late.

Lilac falls on her knees in deep thought.

Lilac: But... that doesn't make any sense. You mean... he's been using me? He came the same dimension with the guy you're talking about.

Dail closes his eyes.

Dail: I'm afraid so, Lilac. He's too dangerous to be running around our planet. Please do stop him. And once you do, help us look for the Chaos Emeralds.

Lilac looks down.

Lilac: That probably explains why Mayor Zao has those robots with him, and I've been helping him to destroy it. Who is this guy that told you this, King Dail?

Dail: He named himself Dr. Robotnik

Lilac rubs her muzzle.

Lilac: I see.

She thought to herself.

Dail: You should go now. Hurry, before he finds them.

Lilac nods.

Lilac: Yes, King Dail.

She dragon boosts herself out the castle. Dail rests his arm on the arm rest of the seat, the rests his chin on his hand, thinking.

Dail: Whoever this guy is, I hope he isn't lying...

Sonic: Hey, it's me, Sonic! Whoa, Lilac! What's going on?! Why are you attacking me? What?! You overheard from the king that I was trying to take all the Chaos Emeralds and use it for some diabolical plan? Oh no! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, and doing evil deeds isn't my thing at all! I don't want to fight you, I want you to understand that it's not my intention to do evil things with the Chaos Emeralds! Next time, "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL!" Don't missout!

See you next chapter!
