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

Episode 130

Previously in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
After saving Downunda from a cult known as Mephilesologists -and getting a Chaos Emerald, as well- TodStar & Amy detected a Chaos Emerald far out into the Great Sea, where the remains of the Battle Bird Armada's battleship rested. As TodStar & Amy approached, they were ambushed by Battle Bird snipers! While Amy managed to sneak into the battleship, TodStar was defeated and captured by the nefarious Dr. Fukurokov!
Amy was "captured" too... but she soon found out that her kidnapper was another traitor to the Armada, who called herself Lily Bluebird. While Amy was grateful to Lily for hiding her from the Armada, Amy couldn't seem to focus around Lily... but that changed when she and Lily heard TodStar scream.
Amy & Lily made it their mission to rescue TodStar, but it was too late... Dr. Fukurokov had already turned the Son of Chaos into his remote-controlled minion, with the same device he planned to use on Lily long ago! Amy managed to break TodStar free from Fukurokov's control by removing the device's power souce... a Chaos Emerald! And after Lily did a little tinkering to turn all of Fukurkov's machines against him, the three escaped from the battleship!
After they returned outside the battleship, TodStar, Amy & Lily were approached by a pirate ship, searching for treasure. After the captain introduced herself as RubyRose the Pitbull Terrier, she offered our heroes a ride back to the mainland, which they gladly accepted!
Will TodStar, Amy and her new friend Lily find another Chaos Emerald once they return to the mainland? Or will they run into more trouble? And why can't Amy seem to take her eyes off of Lily? Find out as Chaos on Mobius continues!

Chapter Twelve: Emerald Hunt (Part Five - Where in the West is Bunnie Rabbot?)

After a long trip, the Black Rose finally made it to the port next to a canyon with a small town nearby.
"Thanks again for the lift, Captain." TodStar said as he shook the pitbull terrier's hand, while Amy was trying to pull the Chaos Emerald out from Sinbad's hands.
"Think nothing of it, lad. And call me RubyRose." She replied, before looking around the port. "Oh, shoot. The deputy's not here to see me. I could've sworn I left a message on his Chatter Ring..."
"I told you he wouldn't show up, Captain." Sinbad pointed out, after Amy got the Emerald from him. And he'd finished pouting.
"Umm... who's this deputy you're talking about?" Asked Lily.
"No one important to yer cause, lassie." Said RubyRose, before TodStar, Amy & Lily jumped out of the ship. "Prepare for departure, lads! We'll come back this way with some treasure fer this town." Little did the three Mobians left at the port know that they were being watched as they waved the crew of the Black Rose off...
"Yer gonna wish those pirates stayed here, pardners!" Yelled a voice unfamiliar to any of the three Mobians. Before they knew it, five Mobians jumped down from a nearby cliff and surrounded them; A grey rabbit with an eyepatch, rusty shoulder-pads and black boots. A brown bear wearing a light-blue shirt and a yellow bandana. A brown wolf wearing a leather vest, stutted wristbands and black leather boots. A green roadrunner wearing purple jacket and shirt, as well as red boots that seem to have no cover for his claws. And a green lizard with a light-brown vest, gloves and boots. Seeing the smirks on all five Mobians, TodStar, Amy and Lily all got ready to fight.

"And you are?" Asked TodStar, prompting the grey rabbit to reveal something that gave the green echidna some pain... "Ngh. A Chaos Emerald?!" Before Amy or Lily could react, they were both shot with stun-guns by the bear! "Ugh... Amy... Lily..."
"They'll be all right." Said the rabbit as he approached TodStar with the Emerald, giving him more pain. "But ah know it's Emeralds like this that give y'all pains in the stomach." The rabbit then shoved the Chaos Emerald right in TodStar's face, forcing the poor echidna to shed a tear as well as sweat as he experienced great pain. "Now. Y'all are gonna help us Sand-Blasters out... or ah tell mah friends to kill yours." Suddenly, a laser was fired near the grey rabbit's ear, causing him to jump away from TodStar. "What in tarnation?!" When the five Mobian crooks and a weak TodStar looked back towards the town, they saw a certain yellow-gold bunny girl with the palm of her Roboticized arm emitting smoke. "Bunnie?! How'd you know we were here?!"
"...Bunnie?" Asked TodStar before he collapsed from exhaustion.
"C'mon Jack. Ah know y'all better than that. In fact, we all do." Bunnie replied with a smirk on her face, before two more Mobians showed up; One was what appeared to be a partly-Roboticized rabbit like Bunnie, except he was older, wore a sheriff's badge, and carried a metallic cane. The other was a black dog with brown eyes and big flappy ears, wearing a black cowboy hat, a red scarf, a blue shirt with a brown vest, brown gloves, black pants with a belt and brown shoes.
"Shoot, it's the Sheriff!" Cried the roadrunner, before he raced towards the canyons at an impressive speed.
"Jolt, you coward!" Jack yelled, before the other three Sand-Blasters ran towards a nearby jeep, as Amy and Lily woke up. "You yella-bellies get back here and fight like men!"
"Yer team-mates have the right idea, Jack." Said the Sheriff. "Y'all better get movin' before Deputy Shaggy feels the need to use his Chaos Shooters..." Jack looked at the dog, who had a smirk on his face while his fingers twitched as they hovered over the guns attached to his belt, making the rabbit growl in anger.
"This ain't over, Beau. Mark mah words..." Jack warned as he ran towards the jeep. "Ah WILL be the next Sheriff of Frontier Canyon!"
"So you keep sayin' Jack..." Said the Sheriff, as Bunnie ran towards TodStar, who was being carried by Amy & Lily.

"TodStar! Are y'all OK?" Bunnie cried as she broke through Amy & Lily's hold to hug TodStar.
"H-hey, Bunnie. I'm fine." TodStar struggled to say. Partly because he was exhausted from the Emerald pain he got, but also because Bunnie was unintentionally strangling him with her Roboticized arm. "T-though I c-could do without the st-strangling..."
"Oh, mah stars!" Bunnie exclaimed as she let TodStar catch his breath. "*chuckle* Ah guess ah still cain't get used to hugging people with this arm..."
"You'll get there eventually, Buns." Said the Sheriff as he placed his robotic hand on Bunnie's shoulder. "Ah've gotta get used to it too..." Suddenly, something snapped in Bunnie's mind.
"Right! How rude of me." She pointed out. "TodStar, Amy, aaaand..."
"Lily." Said the bluebird, introducing herself to Bunnie.
"Lily. This here's the Sheriff of Frontier Canyon, mah Uncle Beauregard. And this is his deputy, Shaggy. Uncle Beau, this is the guy who saved me from being Robotiziced."
"Ah, so yer the Son of Chaos ah've heard about." Said Beau as he shook TodStar's hand, making the echidna nervously chuckle.
"Heh, I guess word gets around..." TodStar replied, before getting serious. "But who were those creeps with the Chaos Emerald?"
"The Sand-Blasters..." Said Shaggy, growling under his breath.
"Simmer down, Shaggy." Beau told the dog, before patting TodStar on the back. "Come. Ah'll explain while we give y'all a tour of our fair town..."

With Sheriff Beau in front, he, Bunnie and Shaggy showed TodStar, Amy and Lily around the town within Frontier Canyon as the sun was starting to set.
"Jack was one of mah deputies a while back. Before Bunnie came to town." Said Beau, as the six Mobians walked in between several wooden buildings. "But when ah found out he was only doin' this fer the Mobiums, ah fired him, as well as banished him from the town. And ever since, he and his Sand-Blasters have been tryin' to drive us out."
"You banished him? Isn't that a little extreme for someone wanting financial gain?" Asked Lily.
"The last thing this town needs is corruption. We look out fer each other here." Beau replied. "And ah don't want money to be affecting the lives of these kind-and-gentle people." While Amy was listening, she also noticed a few of the locals carrying barrels and crates with a familiar symbol on them...
"Then can I ask why all of the crates and barrels have Eggman's face on them?" She asked.
"Oh, don't mind that. They're just the supplies we swipe from the Bullet Bill Express that stops at Bullet Station up there." Bunnie replied, while pointing up to a train station up above the town. As they neared the edge of town, a large mansion came into view.
"Whoa. Who lives in there?" Asked TodStar.
"That's Sweet Manor." Shaggy pointed out. "While any locals are welcome to stay there, it's owned by Ms. Vanilla."
"She's got the most adorable daughter, who ah like to call mah little sister." Added Bunnie, making Amy moan at how adorable that sounded.

Just then, two more Mobian rabbits, a large purple Mobian cat, a Chao and a frog emerged from the mansion's front doors. Seeing the older rabbit made Beau blush, making Bunnie sigh.
"Uncle Beau, are you gonna be like this everytime you see her?" She asked.
"Course not, Buns! Ah-ah'm sure ah'll get over mah crush eventually..." Beau replied as the group got closer. "Uhh, Ms. Vanilla! Wonderful to see you on this fine evenin'!"
"Sheriff Rabbot. Pleasure to see you too." The one called Vanilla replied, as the younger rabbit hugged Bunnie.
"Good evening, Deputy Rabbot." She said as she hugged Bunnie as tight as she could.
"Cream, ah've told you before that y'all can call me Bunnie." The teenage rabbit told the younger one.
"Oh. Who are these three? More strangers to our town?" Asked Vanilla, feeling a little uncomfortable after seeing TodStar, Amy and Lily.
"No need to worry about us, ma'am." TodStar pointed out as he pulled his hat down slightly, making Bunnie giggle. "We're just passing through."
"Ah can vouch for them, Ms. Vanilla." She added. "They're friends of mine from Knothole."
"All we ask is for a place to sleep before we go after the Sand-Blasters in the morning." Said TodStar, startling the locals. Except for Cream, who was giggling with Amy & Lily, while playing with Cheese.

Vanilla then got down to Cream's level.
"Honey, why don't you and Big go to the Chao Garden?" She asked.
"OK, but can Amy & Lily come with us?" Cream asked back, but Vanilla was skeptical of the girls. "Mother, if Deputy Rabbot trusts them, then surely we can too..." Vanilla then sighed deeply.
"Very well." She eventually replied, making Cream and Cheese jump for joy. Cream then grabbed Amy & Lily's arms and ran out of town, while Vanilla turned to the cat. "Can you and Froggy keep an eye on them, Big?"
"OK, Ms. Vanilla." Answered Big, before he ran after the girls, leaving everyone else in the center of town.
"Why do y'all wanna go AFTER the Sand-Blasters?!" Asked Shaggy.
"It's important that my friends & I get the Chaos Emerald back from them." TodStar replied. "If we don't, Mobius is in real trouble."
"But how can you get it?" Bunnie asked wth genuine curiousity. "Ah saw how much pain y'all were in when Jack shoved it in yer face."
"I'll explain when we get somewhere quiet." Said TodStar. "Is there a place nearby where we won't be inturrupted?"
"Let's talk in mah office." Said Beau, leading everyone else away from Sweet Manor...

Later, as the sun was setting further, the Sand-Blasters were in their hideout at the top of Frontier Canyon, while Jack was looking through a scope attached to a sniper rifle.
"Blasted Sheriff... had to ruin mah BRILLIANT plan to get those Chaos Emeralds!" Complained the wolf.
"Yeah. If Jolt'd stuck to the plan, we'd have 'em fer our employer by now!" The bear added, making the roadrunner stand up for himself.
"Helloooo? Remember the last time we dealt with Sheriff Beau?" He asked. "I don't wanna go through that again on my own!"
"Will you cowards put a sock in it?!" Yelled Jack, shutting the three of them up before he looked out the window again with his sniper. "That plan may have backfired, but this time ah've got mah eye on the prize..." Through his scope, Jack was looking at young Cream within the Chao Garden, who was playing with Cheese, Big, Froggy and their new friends Amy & Lily. "And ah know just how to get our client's money... and then some. Tex! Front and center!" Standing behind Jack almost instantly was the lizard. "Ah've got a job for you..." After he finished that sentence, Jack smirked as a train whistle was heard in the distance...

Meanwhile, TodStar was explaining his story to Beau, Bunnie, Shaggy and Vanilla within the Sheriff's office.
"...and while Sally's searching for Sonic, Amy and I are on the hunt for the Chaos Emeralds." He said before sighing. "I'm just glad Shahra can shield me from the pain. Temporarily."
"What about that Lily you are travelling with?" Asked Vanilla. "Does she have a story?"
"We only just met her before coming here." TodStar replied, making Vanilla nervous. "While she's an Armada deserter, Amy just can't seem to let her go." While Bunnie seemed pleased to hear that, something else got TodStar's attention... "Say Sheriff... can I ask how your arm got Roboticized?" Everyone else in the office looked at each other, before turning towards the Sheriff with concern, confusing TodStar.
"Listen up, son." Beau said to TodStar. "Ah'm about to let you in on somethin' that only the four of us know about. Can you keep a secret?" TodStar nodded in response. "All right, then. One night after ah reunited with Buns..."

Beau was walking through the town at night, when everyone else was asleep. Beau also had no robotic limbs whatsoever.
"Ah was on mah late night patrol of the town, thinkin' 'bout how great it was to have family nearby again..." He began. "As ah got to the port, ah was about to make mah way back..." The Sand-Blasters appeared out of nowhere! "...when ah got ambushed by Jack and his Sand-Blasters!" All five of them gave him a serious beating. And Jack shot him in the left knee! "After they ambushed me and beat me up, they left me for dead. Mah right arm got dislocated, and cause Jack shot me in the knee, ah had trouble walking back! Just as ah made it to the edge of town, ah was stopped by what ah THINK was an Overlander..."
"Wait. You're in no condition to return home right now." Said the 'Overlander,' with a teenage boy's voice. "Let me help you."
"An Overlander? Out here?" Asked TodStar, not really believing it. "What did he look like?"
"Ah'm not sure." Beau replied, trying to remember. "All ah remember seeing before ah collapsed from exhaustion was a red helmet... and a yellow scarf. When ah came to next mornin', ah was in a cave, surrounded by nuts 'n bolts... ah also realized that mah arm was robotic, and mah bum knee had a metallic plate over it, too! And while whoever did this to me was long gone, ah thought ah could see his scarf blowin' in the wind as the sun rose above Frontier Canyon... and he was whistlin' a tune ah've never heard before...

While Beau was telling TodStar his story, Amy & Lily were in the Chao Garden nearby, playing with Cream, Cheese, Big, Froggy and the many Chao within the garden.
"Well, it's getting late. We should take you home." Amy pointed out as she saw the sun set behind the canyon. "I'll bet your mom is worried about you."
"All right, Ms. Rose." Said Cream, as Amy helped her on her feet. "It's sort of sad to know that you'll only be here until morning..."
"Why's that, Cream?" Lily asked.
"Because Cheese and I have really gotten to know the two of you in just a few hours. And I really like you." Admitted Cream, before turning to the big cat. "Don't you, Mr. Big?"
"I sure do, Cream." Big replied. "You two are just like Cream; you haven't judged me at all since we met."
"Judge you? Now why would we do that, Big?" Asked Amy. Before anyone could respond, a ball of spines crashed down on the Chao Garden, and plowed through Amy & Lily, knocking them out cold! Big managed to hold it back, but he was shot from a distance by what seemed to be the same as a stun-gun blast, knocking him out as well. When the ball of spines slowed down, it turned out to be Tex! And he approached a very scared Cream.
"Y-y-y-you're one of th-th-those m-m-mean Sand-B-b-blasters, aren't y-you?" She asked as she shook with fear while holding an equally-frightened Cheese, making Tex nod in response. "W-w-what d-do you w-w-want with m-m-me?" This made Tex smirk at Cream, scaring the poor girl even more...

"Ah'll never forget that whistle fer as long as ah live..." As Beau finished his story, TodStar was in awe of what he just heard.
"Wow... I just... wow. What a story..." He said aloud, making Bunnie giggle.
"Ah was the exact same way when Uncle Beau told me." She said to her friend.
"Still... who was that Overlander?" Asked TodStar, making Beau stand up to look outside the window as night fell.
"Ah wish ah knew, son." He replied. "Ah wish ah knew, so ah could thank him..." Just then, the five Mobians in the Sheriff's office all heard croaking getting louder.
"That sounds like Froggy." Vanilla pointed out, confusing everyone else.
"How can you tell, ma'am?" Asked Bunnie, before Froggy jumped onto the table in front of Vanilla.
"When you've lived with Big and Froggy as long as I have, you develop a sense of knowing." Vanilla replied, before turning to Froggy. "What's wrong, sweetie? Where is everyone else?" Froggy then made what seemed like random croaking noises to everyone else, but what Froggy said made Vanilla gasp in horror. "Tex has kidnapped my sweet little Cream?!" Just after everyone gasped, they all heard a strange sound coming from outside.

When the five Mobians emerged from the Sheriff's office, they spotted a floating monitor with Jack's face on it in the middle of the road.
"Evenin' Sheriff." Jack said. "Ah guess y'all know why ah'm callin' you..." Jack moved out of the camera's sight to reveal a tied-up Cream and Cheese, startling TodStar, Shaggy & Beau, while Bunnie was scared for Cream, and Vanilla was horrified.
"Jack! What're y'all doin' with Cream 'n Cheese?!" Bunnie asked with anger in her voice, making Jack laugh in response before squeezing Cream's cheeks, making her and Vanilla cry, and everyone else furious.
"Don't you worry none Bunnie, ah want nothin' more than to return this lil' darlin' back to her mama... so long as y'all give me what ah want!"
"Dern-it Jack, what do you want?!" Beau angrily asked.
"Just meet me at Bullet Station at dawn -ALONE- and ah'll tell you mah demands, Sheriff." Said Jack, before the monitor flew away.
"It's gotta be a trap." Suspected TodStar.
"He's right, Uncle Beau. Ya cain't do this alone." Bunnie added. "Let me, TodStar and Shaggy go with you." Shaggy nodded in agreement.
"No!" Shouted Beau as he turned to face his deputies. "Y'all know the risks that come with this job. Ah told y'all that when you became mah deputies! And this time, ah'm goin' it alone." Without another word, Beau left the town behind in order to approach Bullet Station. At that moment, TodStar had an idea.
"Froggy, do you know where the Chao Garden is?" He asked, making Froggy nod in response. "Good. Lead the way, little guy."
"TodStar, what're y'all doin'?" Asked Bunnie.
"Doin' somethin' neither Jack nor Beau know about..." TodStar replied as he quickly followed after Froggy...

Next morning, Sheriff Beau made it to Bullet Station, where Jack was waiting with a caged Cream & Cheese.
"You made it! Ah was startin' to worry you were gettin' too old fer this." Jack joked, making Beau.
"All right Jack, ah'm here." Said Beau. "Now just hand over Cream 'n Cheese, and ah'll let you go quietly."
"Not so fast there, Sheriff." Jack snapped. "You gotta give me what ah want first."
"*sigh* Fine, let's hear yer ridiculous demands."
"First... Ah want YOU to retire, and make ME the new Sheriff of Frontier Canyon." While Beau just nodded like he didn't care, he had no idea that the rest of the Sand-Blasters were hiding throughout the station. "Second... Ah want the Chaos Emeralds that those strangers to the town've got. And finally... ah want Bunnie's hand in marriage." Hearing that last demand, Beau was furious.
"Are you crazy?!" He said in pure anger. "Even if Chaos herself demanded this of me, there is no WAY ah'd give y'all mah blessin'! Even if ah did, ah'm positive she'd say no!"
"Really now? Well, we'll see about that after ah tell her 'bout yer death! NOW!" Jack responded, making his four team-mates jump into view, surrounding the Sheriff. Cream & Cheese noticed that all of the Sand-Blasters were wearing backpacks. "Any last words, Sheriff?" Before anything else was said, a brief flash of light appeared above the seven Mobians.
"...CONTROL!" Shouted TodStar as he, Amy, Lily, Big & Froggy appeared above Beau... and landed in between him and the Sand-Blasters!
"TodStar?! What're y'all doin' here?!" Beau asked.
"Giving you better odds, Sheriff!" Amy replied as she revealed her Piko Piko Hammer. Seconds after Amy said that, an orange train with a face on the front pulled into Bullet Station.
"Uhh... time fer the evac plan, Boss?" Asked the wolf.
"Yeah. Boys, bail out!" Jack replied after sighing, making all five Sand-Blasters jump on top of the train with Cream & Cheese still in their possession.
"They're getting away!" Cried Big as the train started to move again after supplies were automatically unloaded.
"Oh no, they're not! Everybody jump onboard!" Beau yelled, as the rest of the Mobians at the station jumped on top of the train just before it left Bullet Station!

As the train started to pick up speed over a pair of rails that seemed to have no suspension, the Sand-Blasters ran towards our heroes. Big managed to bounce back Jolt, the bear and the wolf with his big belly, while TodStar warped in front of Big and punched Tex in the head!
"I hope that hurt, lizard-boy!" TodStar taunted, before getting rammed back into Big with Tex's Spine Dash! Amy jumped over Big and tried slamming her Piko Piko Hammer down on Tex's head, but the wolf threw a bear trap attached to a chain at her hammer, knocking her overboard! Before she fell too far however, Lily swooped down to catch her with her Extreme Gear!
"That's two you owe me, Amy." She told the hedgehog girl, who was blushing a fair bit.
"Thanks, Lily." She replied, before spying the Sheriff knocking a gun out of Jack's hand. Jack tried punching back, but Beau blocked it with his metallic cane, before shoving it into Jack's foot, making the rabbit scream out in pain and tend to his foot.
"Now let's see how YOU like it when ah leave YOU fer dead." Beau told the rabbit as he approached Cream & Cheese. The rabbit girl noticed Jack was faking it by him jumping back up to his feet and arming himself with a knife.
"Sheriff Rabbot, behind you!" Cream cried, making Beau turn around to see Jack thrusting his knife right towards him! Beau blocked it with his cane again, but Jack elbowed Beau in the left arm, making him drop his cane.
"Time to make yer choice, Sheriff..." Jack warned, as Cream & Cheese started crying. "Retire from yer post, or ah retire you from yer life!" Before Beau responded, a bullet of Chaos Energy knocked Jack's knife out of his hand! "What?!" Beau and Jack looked at where the shot came from... Bunnie was carrying Shaggy with her rocket-feet, and Shaggy had one of his Chaos Shooters in his hand!
"Howdy, y'all!" Exclaimed Shaggy, who was aiming one of his Chaos Shooters at Jack.
"Jack, ah do declare..." Bunnie said, as she activated her arm cannon. "...that y'all are under arrest!" Jack looked around to see his team-mates were pinned down by Big, TodStar, Amy and Lily. After a deep sigh, Jack held up his hands in defeat.

Later that day, after Cream & Cheese had reunited with Vanilla... and the Sand-Blasters were all locked up... Sheriff Beau, Bunnie, Shaggy, Cream & Cheese, Big & Froggy and Vanilla had gathered at Bullet Station to see off TodStar, Amy and Lily.
"Ah cain't thank you Freedom Fighters enough for helpin' us catch the Sand-Blasters at long last!" Beau pointed out.
"Hey, we got another Chaos Emerald out of it. That's good enough for us!" Said Amy as had she the blue Chaos Emerald spin on the tip of her finger, startling the Sheriff.
"How'd y'all get that Emerald?" He asked. "Ah confiscated that from Jack mah-self!"
"C'mon Uncle Beau, they need it more than we do." Bunnie pointed out.
"Yer right, darlin'." Beau said to Bunnie while hugging her, before turing his attention back to the Freedom Fighters. "The next train that comes through here should get y'all back to the United Federation."
"That's great, thanks Sheriff." Said TodStar, before Bunnie hugged him.
"Ah wish y'all didn't hafta leave so soon, sugah." She told him as they all heard a train whistle. "Ah missed the guy who saved mah life."
"I know Bunnie. And I missed you too..." Said TodStar. "But we've gotta get these Emeralds back to GUN to save Mobius." The train could soon be seen approaching the station, but it didn't appear to be slowing down. TodStar prepared himself to jump, while Amy and Lily got on their Extreme Gear. As the train roared past Bullet Station, TodStar warped on top of it via Chaos Control, while Amy and Lily hovered onto it with their Extreme Gear!

Later still, as the train was now moving through the ocean via a see-through underwater tunnel, the Freedom Fighters were in a good mood.
"What an amazing journey!" Amy exclaimed. "We got three Chaos Emeralds, reunited with some old friends, and made some new ones..." Amy then clasped hands with Lily after saying that.
"Yeah, it sure has been an adventure." Agreed TodStar, looking at the three Chaos Emeralds in his lap. "Let's just hope that Sally finds the other three Emeralds... AND Sonic..." Amy and Lily nodded in agreement as the train followed the rails high above the seas...
