Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius
6th Saga: The Mucho Grande Egg-cellent Saga

Episode 129

Previously in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
While searching for Sonic, Sally found a Chaos Emerald on Holoska's Mammoth Mountain, only to see that Mina, Ash and their Mephilesologist allies were trying to take the Emerald from the Arctic Angels. Sally intervened, but that was when Mina caused a blizzard of darkness, forcing Sally and the Arctic Angels to take shelter in their cabin. Due to the strange abilities of Mephilesologists like Mina, the weather at Mammoth Mountain was colder than usual. But somehow Sally's link to the Source of All warmed things up before finding out why Rachel was clinging to another Chaos Emerald... it turns out that the fake Emerald that Sonic and Sally gave her was destroyed by one of Eggman's robots, making her lose control of her powers, and accidentely burn Guntiver's arm!
Sally consoled Rachel, but was inturrupted by a large beast of darkness attacking the cabin! Responsible for this monster's rampage was Mina & Ash, who gave the Arctic Angels one more chance to convert to Mephilesology, but they and Sally stood their ground. Just before the beast could take them all down, a certain blue blur landed a hit on the creature before running away, allowing Sally & the Arctic Angels to strike! While the rest of the Arctic Angels dealt with Mina & Ash -with help from the blue blur- Sally and Rachel made quick work of the monster! When our heroes confronted Mina, it turned out to be Lily the Morph-hog in disguise! Before they could get anymore info out of her, Lily escaped with Ash.
In gratitude for saving them, Rachel gave Sally the Chaos Emerald and something referred to as Ring-Blades, before the chipmunk travelled back down Mammoth Mountain to find Sonic staring at her. Before Sally could thank him for helping her and the Arctic Angels, Sonic raced down the mountain, but Sally started chasing after him as fast as she could!
Can Sally find another Chaos Emerald, or will her heart force her to continue her chase after Sonic? Who is this Dr Ellidy that gave Sally the Ring-Blades? And why did Sonic help her and the Arctic Angels, if he wanted to fight Robotnik alone? Find out as Chaos on Mobius continues!

Chapter Eleven: Emerald Hunt (Part Four - The Stupidity of The Blue Blur)

Sally had made it to a city not too far from Holoska, but she looked disappointed with Tails' Extreme Gear under her arm while walking under a sign that read "Welcome to Westopolis."
"I can't believe I lost him again." She said to herself as she got out the Chaos Emerald she got from the Arctic Angels. "Why can't Sonic understand? We NEED him. I need him..." Suddenly, her communicator started beeping...
"*bzz* This is E-102r Gamma of the Power Savers." Said a robot voice she recognized. "We are under attack from the Egg Army within Westopolis, and request immediate assistance. *bzz*" Without a second thought, Sally jumped back onto Tails' Extreme Gear, and raced depper into Westopolis...

When Sally arrived at the battle zone, she spotted the four E-100 Power Savers battling Egg Fighters, as well as a green Mobian bird-boy and a red Nocturnus echidna woman. But Sally also spotted a certain blue blur blast past the Power Savers, and through the Egg Fighters... only to get wrapped up in a whip coming from one of the echidna's sleeves!
"It's him." Sally exclaimed, before getting closer to the action, while a certain blue hedgehog was getting strangled by the echidna.
"THIS is the Knight of the Wind?!" The echidna mocked, before spitting in Sonic's face as she continued to strangle him with the whip from her sleeve. "The Doctor had me worried over nothing, Speedy!"
"Y'know Lien-Da, maybe he just said that to prepare the Egg Legion for battle." The bird said back as he flew past the Power Savers. "Oh wait, we're the 'Egg Army' now, aren't we?"
"That's right. And it'll be THIS battalion of the Egg Army that'll deliver the shoes of Sonic the Hedgehog to Dr. Robotnik!" Lien-Da shouted with pride as she raised Sonic up as high as she could. But she got distracted when she spotted Sally helping the Power Savers push forward. "The Acorn Princess of Knothole... I've been looking forward to this..." Once they were close enough, Sally stopped in between the Power Savers and the Egg Army.
"Listen up, Nocturnus and Armada deserters!" Sally announced. "Give us back Sonic and the city of Westopolis, and we'll let you go." Hearing this, both Speedy & Lien-Da smirked.
"Sorry Princess, but your boyfriend here is our ticket to overrule that brute idiot Bowser for command of the Egg Army!" Lien-Da replied.
"Taking this city is an added bonus." Added Speedy, as Lien-Da's hand -opposite from the arm attached to the whip- and her eyes suddenly electified, before she struck Sonic with an electric whip, giving him a great deal of pain, making Sally afraid and angry, as her fists turned gold...

"Power Savers... CHARGE!" She yelled as she ran towards the Egg Army, punching through any Egg Fighter in her way, while the Eggman's rebel robots provided the Acorn Princess with backup. Lien-Da got one look at the determination in Sally's eyes, and looked concerned...
"You, get in there and stop that squirrel!" She shouted at an Egg Fighter with a spring-shield and a sword, who ran towards Sally. The Power Savers were too distracted with other Egg Fighters to see Sally get bounced back by the spring-shield, causing the gold colour of her hands to fade away. As the Egg Fighter that blocked her swung at her with its sword, Sally shielded herself with one of her arms, unaware that the ring she was wearing on that wrist was starting to glow. When she felt the impact of the Egg Fighter's sword, Sally opened her eyes to see that the Ring-Blades lived up to their name, as a blade made of pure energy had emerged from the ring, and was blocking the Egg Fighter's attack! Sally then took this opportunity to make her feet glow gold, before kicking the Egg Fighter off of her and backflipped back onto her feet, unaware that both Ring-Blades had energy blades active... Sonic was in awe of what Sally had just done, while Speedy and Lien-Da were startled by what happened to their Egg Fighter.
"And FYI, I'm a chipmunk. Not a squirrel." Sally said to Lien-Da, unaware that she lost the fur on her cheeks. Lien-Da released Sonic and used the whip to grab Speedy.
"Egg Army, fall back!" She said, before the remaining Egg Fighters followed her and Speedy out of the battle zone. Once the Egg Army was far enough away, Sally raced over to Sonic, who was out cold.
"C'mon Sonic, don't do this to me now..." Sally told him as she felt his pulse. "Gamma, can you carry Sonic into that building over there?" Gamma nodded, and took Sonic over to where Sally had pointed out. "Delta, Epsilon, Zeta... follow Gamma." The other three Power Savers nodded in agreement, leaving Sally in the middle of the ruined road, looking at the robots. "I'm not letting you go, Sonic. Not this time..."

Some time later, within their bunker labelled "Gimme Shelter," Lien-Da and Speedy contacted their master within the Death Egg, only to find a damaged and bruised Bowser staring at them.
"King Bowser!" Lien-Da exclaimed, before smirking once she and Speedy got a look at who they contacted. "You've sure seen better days..."
"Respect your superiors, COLONEL Lien-Da!" Bowser angrily yelled back at her, startling her and Speedy. "I could put you AND Major Speedy on a platter for Robotnik! *sigh* But that rotten plumber stopped me from getting even a slice of cake from the Princess... again." Getting out of his sulking mood, Bowser turned his attention back to Lien-Da and Speedy. "Anyway, what do you two want?"
"We just wanted to inform the Doctor that we are close to claiming Westopolis in his name, but we also have an opportunity to defeat S-" Said Speedy, but Lien-Da quickly grabbed him by the beak and pulled him out of Bowser's sight.
"We just need another support unit in order to deal with the E-100 Power Savers." Lien-Da informed Bowser, as she held Speedy down.
"Hah. That'll be no problem for the Doc's new E-2000 robots." Bowser replied. "I'll send one down to your bunker right now. Long live the Eggman Empire!"
"Long live the Eggman Empire." Lien-Da & Speedy repeated as they bowed before Bowser before the transmission ended. It was then that Speedy got angry, and shoved Lien-Da's shoulder.
"What was that for?!" He asked. "Why didn't you let me tell him about the Knight of the Wind and the Acorn Princess?"
"Wow, you really are as stupid as your old man..." Lien-Da replied, making Speedy bear his teeth in anger. "If we'd told Bowser about those two, don't you think he'd want a piece of them himself, and take ALL of the credit for taking them out?" Speedy was about to argue, but he had a quick think...
"Good point." He eventually said back. "Once WE defeat those two, THEN we can overthrow King Shell-for-Brains!" Lien-Da nodded with smirk on her face in response.

At that moment, Sally was messing with her Ring-Blades, figuring out the trick to them... when Sonic made a noise, prompting Sally to race to his side. While Sally was tending to Sonic, Gamma found something shiny within the rubble. Sonic then woke up to find himself within a broken building, staring up at Sally... which startled him enough to get up and try running away, but Sally quickly grabbed his arm before he could escape.
"And where do you think you're going?" She asked, making Sonic feel uncomfortable, but he knew what he had to say.
"Away from everyone I care about. I already told you that." Sonic replied, but Sally tightened her grip on his arm.
"That's not good enough, Sonic. Why did you abandon the Freedom Fighters? Your friends? And me?" Sally asked again, this time with genuine concern, making Sonic sigh in response as his head sank.
"You're not gonna like it."
"Try me."
"All right. I left... I left because all Robotnik wants is to get even with me. I left so I'd be his only target, and I wouldn't have to worry about everyone else in my life getting hurt." Sally was frozen in shock by what Sonic had told her. "So, I guess what I'm sayin' is... I gotta fight the Eggman Empire on my own." Sonic then leaned in to kiss a frozen Sally on the cheek, but she fiercely slapped him in the face with the back of her hand before he got the chance!
"That is the STUPIDEST excuse I've ever heard!" She yelled, as it was now Sonic's turn to freeze. Especially when Sally revealed that she was carrying his gauntlet! "Robotnik's only goal is to conquer ALL of Mobius! He's not fixated on destroying you! And did you even think about how we'd feel about you leaving, Sonic? You're hurting us more than Eggman ever could!" After that rant, Sally threw Sonic's gauntlet to the floor before she fell to her knees and hid her face from Sonic, as tears formed in her eyes. "And to be completely honest... when you ran away from me after helping us at Mammoth Mountain... *sniff*" Sally couldn't even finish what she was saying, as she started sobbing softly.

Sonic didn't comfort Sally right away, as he was starting to understand how stupid his actions were. When the realization finally hit him, Sonic lowered his head in shame.
"You're right, Sally." He said, getting the chipmunk's attention as he picked up his gauntlet. "I've made some bonehead moves in my life... but what I did to you and the rest of my friends takes the cake." It was at that moment that Sonic slowly approached Sally. "And I never should've left you like that. I'm sorry." Sonic softly place his hands on Sally's shoulders, making her leap into his arms as she let the tears roll down her face. "I'm so sorry, Sal. I really am. And I'll never leave you or the Freedom Fighters behind like that again. I promise."
"Good. *sniff* Cause I don't plan on ever letting you go." Said Sally, before the two shared a kiss. The moment was cut short however, when Gamma approached them.
"Princess Sally, we have detected the Egg Army now approaching the city from Lethal Highway." He stated, as Sonic put the gauntlet back over his right hand.
"So? Now that we know what we're up against, we can take 'em!" Said Sonic, feeling cocky.
"We have also detected an E-2000 unit with them." Gamma added, confusing the two Mobians.
"Is that a problem?" Asked Sally, with genuine concern.
"The last time the Power Savers were connected to the EggNet, the E-2000 was still in the design phase." Gamma replied.
"That could be a problem..." Sally thought out loud, before Sonic had a suggestion.
"Can't we just cross that bridge when we come to it?" He asked.
"That is a reckless idea." Stated Gamma, but Sally thought about it. "It would surely lead to our defeat."
"Maybe... but since you don't know much about this E-2000, I don't think we have much of a choice..." Sally pointed out, startling Sonic and Gamma. "Get everyone ready, Gamma. We're taking the fight to the Egg Army."

Tense moments later, Sonic and Sally led the Power Savers onto Lethal Highway, where the Egg Army was waiting for them, along with a large red-and-yellow robot hovering above them. Seeing the robot, Sonic scoffed.
"THAT'S their trump card? Come on." He teased, making a brief smirk appear on Sally's face as she rolled her eyes, before she stared right at Lien-Da.
"Last chance, Freedom Fighters..." Said Lien-Da triumphantly, as Speedy smirked while staring ahead. "...surrender now, or be our ticket to total domination over the Egg Army. Either way, we win." Not one of the Power Savers budged. Nor did Sonic or Sally, making Lien-Da shrug. "Your funeral. Take 'em out, boys!" As Lien-Da shouted that, all of the Egg Fighters with them charged toward our heroes. Speedy and E-2000 were about to fly after them, but Lien-Da stopped them both. "Hold on, you two. Let's save the best for last..." Both Lien-Da and Speedy smirked as they watched Sonic, Sally and the Power Savers engage the rest of their squadron...

Sonic started early by Boosting through a number of Egg Fighters without any problem, while the Power Savers shot down whatever robot Sonic missed. Sonic then turned around and started Boosting backwards, only to get bounced back by an Egg Fighter with a spring-shield!
"Ngh... why do I leave my guard down like that?" Sonic asked, loud enough for the Egg Fighter to hear. As it was about punch Sonic with its free fist, Sally jumped over Sonic and stabbed the Egg Fighter in the head with her Ring-Blades! "That's right. Cause I've got someone backing me up!" The damaged Egg Fighter threw its fist down towards Sally, but she jumped out of harm's way... allowing Sonic to finish the job with a Homing Attack! Seeing how easily Sonic and Sally were dealing with the Egg Fighters, Lien-Da got a little angry.
"Speedy, let's go." She told the bird, before turning to the robot. "E-2000, you stay put. Just in case..."
"You're mine, hedgehog!" Shouted Speedy as he attempted to nosedive down towards Sonic, but missed. Lien-Da then tried striking Sonic with her electric whip, but Sally blocked it with her Ring-Blade.

"You want a fight with a Freedom Fighter?" Sally asked Lien-Da with a smirk on her face. "I'll give you one." Angry at the Acorn Princess, Lien-Da tried striking at Sally with a standard whip from within her sleeve, but Sally sliced it short with her other Ring-Blade. Once she made the blades themselves disappear -also making Lien-Da's electric whip fade away- Sally's fists and feet turned gold before she punched Lien-Da in the gut! Even though she was winded, Lien-Da swung her foot around to strike at Sally's side. While Sally was in a bit of pain from that kick, she kicked Lien-Da right back with her gold foot, knocking the echidna back a little. Meanwhile, Speedy kept trying to dive down at Sonic, but the hedgehog's reflexes were just too quick.
"WILL YOU HOLD STILL?!" Speedy angrily shouted as Sonic continued to smirk.
"Hey, I gotta ask... why's your name 'Speedy?' Shouldn't it be 'Snail' instead?" Sonic teased before chuckling, making Speedy furious as he revealed a small gun tucked under his glove. "You might as well fly back to your nest, kid. Or at least train with the Babylon Rogues."
"LIKE I'D JOIN THOSE TRAITORS!" Screamed Speedy as he fired his laser at Sonic... and missed, due to Sonic Quick Stepping out of the way. But Speedy quickly dove down onto Sonic and pinned him down to the ground! "They turned on the Armada when we needed them the most!"
"Like you are now?" Sonic asked, making Speedy's eyes widen. "From what I've heard, the Armada's left out in the Great Sea. And you've pretty much left 'em for dead, haven't you?" Speedy suddenly stared up at the sky in realization, unaware that Sonic was creeping out from under him.
"Father... I betrayed you... again..." He said with deep sorrow. Before he focused on the battle again, Sonic landed a Homing Attack on his head, knocking him out in the process!
"Yeah, I'll give you a few more minutes to think about that." He joked as he dusted his hands, before spying Sally kicking Lien-Da away from her.

Just as Lien-Da was about to get up, Sally landed above her, striking one of her Ring-Blades next to Lien-Da's head in the road.
"It's over, Lien-Da." She told the echidna. "You're beaten, your Armada partner is out cold, and your robot army is nothing but spare parts. I suggest you surrender. Before my boyfriend gets impatient..." Suddenly, Sally looked up to see the E-2000 above Lien-Da. It then fired a massive red laser at Sonic, which the hedgehog barely dodged!
"You and your boyfriend are gonna have to survive the wrath of the E-2000, first!" Lien-Da taunted after Sally backflipped back to help Sonic. Sonic tried a Homing Attack, but it was blocked by the robot's shield, making him bounce back as the Power Savers began shooting at a metallic blimp that was approaching.

"E-2000, hold these losers off as Speedy and I escape in the Egg Balloon!" Lien-Da ordered the E-2000 as she carried an unconscious Speedy out of the battle. "See you in the Realm of Iblis, Freedom Fighter scum!" As the Egg Balloon flew off with Lien-Da and Speedy, the four Power Savers attempted to shoot it down, but their shots were either too weak, or just missed altogether. Meanwhile, Sonic & Sally were struggling to deal with the E-2000.
"Gamma, let them go. We've got bigger problems right now!" Sally shouted as she blocked a punch from the E-2000 with her Ring-Blades, while Sonic landed a Homing Attack on its back... that didn't even leave a dent!
"Great... it's like I'm dealing with Ro-butt-nik's Egg Beater all over again." Grumbled Sonic, as Gamma gave the order to cease fire. E-2000 took note of this, and combined its limbs with its chest to form a plane-like object, and rammed into all four Power Savers! "Yikes! How're we gonna fight this thing, Sal? Not even my Homing Attack can do anything!" Sally noticed something as the Power Savers began shooting at the E-2000 after it returned to its humanoid form... as they all landed a hit on the strong robot, it seemed to vibrate uncontrollably. And when Gamma flew up to punch it in the face, it seemed to do some damage. Sonic also noticed that they damaged it... but that's all he noticed. "Oh sure, robots can hurt robots..."
"That's not it, Sonic..." Sally pointed out. "They're paralyzing it with their firepower before they strike." Sonic quickly realized what she said, and sped towards the E-2000 while the Power Savers had it stunned... and landed a Homing Attack on its back, before Sally sliced its back open with her Ring-Blades. "Gamma, fire at its back, now!"
"Fire!" Ordered Gamma, before all four Power Savers shot lasers into the opening of the E-2000's back, giving the robot a fair bit of damage.
"Finish it off, Sonic!" Said Sally, while pointing at the robot's back, as Sonic was peeling-out in place.
"Sal... you don't have to tell me twice!" Sonic replied, before plowing right through the E-2000's chest with a Homing Attack, destroying it in the process! When Sonic landed, he caught the E-2000's head and showed it to Sally. "Whaddya think? Should I start a collection of robot heads I've smashed?" Sally merely placed her palm over her face as she smirked, making Sonic chuckle as he threw the head away.

Back within downtown Westopolis, Sonic shook hands with Gamma, as Sally bowed before the Power Savers.
"Thanks for your help back there." Sonic said. "For an all-robot team, you guys really pulled through."
"Thank you and Princess Sally for accepting our call for assistance." E-103b Delta replied.
"Without you, we would have lost Westopolis to the Eggman Empire." Added E-104o Epsilon, as E-102r Gamma reached into his spare compartment.
"As a token of our appreciation, please accept this Chaos Emerald I found earlier." The red robot said as he revealed the cyan Chaos Emerald, which shocked Sonic and Sally.
"Don't you guys need it?" Asked Sonic, but Gamma shook his head.
"Negative. After what happened to Beta, we do not want to develop a thirst for power." Gamma replied. "Besides, I assume this Chaos Emerald will be more useful in your hands, Sir Sonic."
"Thank you, Gamma. All of you." Sally told the Power Savers as Sonic took the Chaos Emerald from Gamma, and Sally got Tails' Extreme Gear ready. "I would be honoured to battle alongside you again..." As the Power Savers waved goodbye from Westopolis, Sonic and Sally zoomed past a sign that read "AHEAD - Empire City via Route 280"
