Chapter 8
"Whoa!" said Knuckles noticing the attacks "What was that?!"
"Look!" said Tails pointing to where the attacks where came from.
It was the Sailor Soldiers who launched their attacks to stop the Daimon and come to the aid of Sonic and his friends.
"Who are zey?" asked Antoinne
"Ah hope they're are on our side?" asked Bunnie
"Humans with powers, There's something I don't see everyday." said Mighty
The Sailors jumped in front of the Freedom Fighters. Took their fighting stances and were ready to fight the Daimon.
"All right, time to go to work!" said Sailor Moon
The Sailors charged at the Daimon passing Sonic and ready to use their attacks to subdued them
"Okay!" said the other Sailors
Mars Fire Snake!
Venus Love me Chain!
Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!
Mercury Aqua Mist!
All for of the Sailors' attacks hit the Daimon subduing them. The Freedoms Fighters looked on with awe, impressed by their skills and attacks.
"These girls are good." said Sally impressed
"They look tough." said Knuckles
"I wonder where they're from or who they are?" asked Tails
"Whoever they are." said Espio "They seem to helping us against these monsters."
"Maybe we should allow' em to join our team." said Bunnie
"That might not be a bad idea." said Mighty "We could use all the help."
"Maybe we could get them to join us." said Ray
Once the Sailors have subdued the monster. They were ready to let Sailor Moon finish the job.
"Sailor Moon, now!" said Sailor Mars
"Okay!" complied Sailor Moon
"Neo Queen Serenity!" Sailor Moon summoning her Moon stick "Lend your power to my rod, Heart Moon Rod!"
Moon Spiral Heart Attack!
(flipping the rod around her body until she did her signature pose).
Out came a giant heart crashing the Daimon-infected Royal Guard. Restoring the Royal Guard back to normal and destroying the eggs that came out of the their bodies.
"The Royal Guard?" said Sally confused "They were the Monsters this whole time?"
"Where am I?" asked on of the Royal Guards confused
"All I remember is this crazy lady attacking the castle." said another Royal Guard
"Then we were turned into the Monsters." said antoher Royal Guard.
"Hey look it's the princess." pointed the Royal Guard
The Royal Guard rushed to Sally's aid.
"Princess, are you okay?" asked one of the female Royal Guard
"I'm fine." replied Sally "But what happened to you?"
"It's a long story." said the Female Royal Guard.
Just then the Royal Guard Noticed the Sailor Soliders.
"And who are they?" asked one of the Royal Guards
"I think they're some kind of super heroes." said Sally
"They totally are." said Tails "There's a green one (Jupiter), blue one (Mercury), orange one (Venus), red one (Mars), and another blue one (Sailor Moon)."
Sonic listened to what Tails was saying. Just then it dawned on Sonic what Mogul told him about the one's responsible for the attack were five human women. Sonic noticed the girls were human and the fact that they wore color matching uniforms.
"It can't be?" thought Sonic "Are these the ones responsible for attacking the people and Uncle Chuck. But why did they save my friends."
"Hey let's go and say hi." said Tails
"Good idea, perhaps they are potential allies." said Amy
"STOP!" shouted ordering his not to approach the Sailor Soldiers.
"What's wrong, Sonic?" asked Sally
"Don't go near this girls." said Sonic "They are the ones responsible for this."
"What are you talking about?" asked Amy "Sonic you're scaring me."
"What do you mean these girls are the ones behind this." said Knuckles
"When I paid Mogul a visit at the Dentition Center." explained Sonic "He told the ones responsible for Uncle Chuck, the King, and the civilians were five human women with matching color uniforms. Two blue, red, green, and orange."
The Freedom Fighters and Chaotix looked at the Five ladies and noticed that apart from being human they fit the description that Sonic mentioned.
"Sonic's right." said Tails "These girls do fit that description."
"Thinking about it." said Sally "They happened to show up right at the moment these monsters attack."
"But one thing doesn't add up." said Knuckles "Why did they save us, if they are our enemy why would they go out of there way to save us from the monsters. Also what about the pink haired girl and the good-looking man in the cape and hat."
"Yeah." said Mighty "Didn't Mogul tell you about a Man and little girl, too."
"No he only mentioned five women." said Sonic "I don't know about the man and girl. Just like didn't know about the monsters."
"Speakin' of Monsters." said Bunnie "How come we didn't realize it was the Royal Guard inside those things."
"That also seems bizarre." said Espio "When I fought one of them I sensed something was wrong with it. It felt like it was trapped and it wanted to get out."
"May I add, how did zese girls know how to defeat ze monsters." added Antoine
"You're right Twan." said Rotor "Maybe the Monsters and these girls have a connection."
"Of course, they do!" said Sonic "That's because they probably send them after us and they are the one's responsible for what happened to New Mobotropolis."
"But we don't know for sure." said Sally "We have to make..."
"No time!" said Sonic interrupting Sally "Hey you!"
The girls turned around and saw that Sonic was speeding towards them.
"I wonder what that is?" asked Mercury
"It looks like some kind of spiky haired rat." said Chibi-Moon
"He sure is fast." said Jupiter
"Is as if he's charging right at us." said Venus
"That's because he is!" shouted Mars realizing what Venus said.
"Mar's is right." said Sailor Moon "he's heading right towards us."
"You guys are gonna pay for what you did to Uncle Chuck!" said Sonic who was ready to attack the Sailors
Sonic clenched his fist and landed the first punch but the Sailors evaded his attack. Sonic in a state of blind fury attacked the Sailors
"Tell me what you did?!" demanded Sonic
"What are you talking about?" asked Mars dodging Sonic's Punch
"Don't play dumb!" shouted Sonic punching Jupiter
"What's your problem?" asked Jupiter
"What did you do to the civilians of New Mobotropolis." said Sonic trying to punch Mars
"New Mobotropolis?" said Mars Puzzled "We just got here, we have no idea what your talking about."
"Look!" said Mercury pointing at the comotose bodies "Something happened here."
"I think we ended up in the middle of something." said Venus
Mercury went to one of the bodies and touched the neck to see if there's a pulse. She was shocked to find that there was no pulse or breath.
"Everyone, I think this poor animal is dead." said Mercury "I don't feel a pulse."
"What?!" gasped Mars
"Maybe that's why he's angry." said Sailor Moon pointing at Sonic
"Who could of done this?" guessed Venus
Meanwhile the Freedom Fighters looked in disbelief at the way Sonic is fighting the Sailors.
"Is True Blue, okay?" said Knuckles something seems wrong."
"He just angry because Uncle Chuck is one of the victims of this attack." said Sally
"Guys, Sonic is scarring me." said Amy
"Amy's right." said Tails "I've never seemed him this upset."
"Yeah I think he's overdoing it." said Mighty
"What do we do?" said Ray
"Nothing I guess watch and see what happens." said Vector
"It would be wise to stay clear of Sonic." said Espio "I wouldn't want to get involved especially with that kind of temperament."
Sonic meanwhile continued on his rampage attacking the Senshi. He kept attacking them but the Sailors kept evading his punches, kicks, and spin dashes.
"That its!" said Sonic frustrated
Sonic prepared to attack the Sailors once again.
"This is getting serious." said Venus
"I think we better attack." said Mars
"Don't worry." said Jupiter "Leave it to me."
Jupiter stepped right in front of the hedgehog taking a fighting stance.
"So a volunteer, eh?." smirked Sonic "Fine it doesn't matter who decides to fight me. Get ready green, here I come!"
Sonic was ready to charge at Jupiter. He was ready to use his light speed attack. After charging up Sonic speed towards Jupiter. Jupiter seeing Sonic coming at light speed took her fighting stance and was ready to use one of her attacks.
"Flower Hurricane!" said Jupiter releasing rose petals
Rose petals surrounded Sonic
"Really?" said Sonic sarcastically "It's gonna take more than flowers to stop me."
Just then one the pedals pierced his left arm leaving a scar.
"Ouch!" shouted Sonic "If you think a little bruise is gonna stop me then your mistaken. Here I go!"
Before Sonic could attack, he was unable to move.
"What's going on?" said Sonic confused "Why can't I move."
"Wait could it be?" said Sonic noticing the petals
"My Gaurdian Star, Jupiter." said Jupiter "Let the storm rage on! Let the lightning strike."
Jupiter Thunderbolt!
"No way!" shouted Sonic as the lighting was coming his way
Jupiter Threw the lighting at Sonic. Sonic wailed in pain from the lighting strike.
"I did it!" said Jupiter
"It's not over yet." said Sonic getting up "I can still take you on."
"How that's my most powerful attack." said Jupiter in disbelief
"Okay get ready." said Sonic trying to muster the energy to attack Jupiter.
Sonic was ready to charge at Jupiter again despite being physically weak from Jupiter's attack and the fact the sparks of electricity surrounded his body leaving him with barely enough energy to attack.
"That's it!" said Tails "I'm going in, I can't stand this."
Tails rotated his tails like a helicopter and flew right in front of Sonic
"Tail?" said Sonic "What are you doing? Get out of the way."
"A fox that can fly?" said Jupiter puzzled
"No, Sonic!" said Tails standing in front of Sonic with both arms extended as if almost to stop him from attacking Jupiter "I can't watch you go on like this."
"Miles! Move!" demanded Sonic
"No!" said Miles standing firm "You have to stop, you're letting you rage get the best of you."
"Can't you see they are responsible." said Sonic "I have to do something for Uncle Chuck."
"I know you're sad about Uncle Chuck." said Tails "But that doesn't give you an excuse for attacking five human girls."
"But Mogul said these five were the one's responsible." said Sonic "He mentioned five and that their uniforms.
"How do we know for sure." said Tails "What if it was someone else. There are other humans around here, you know."
"He's right listen to your friend." said Jupiter "We have no idea what happened we got here."
"Don't lie!" shouted Sonic at Jupiter
"Sonic, what if she's telling the truth." said Tails
"What if she isn't." responded
"We don't know for sure." said Tails "But I can't let you continue on this rampage."
"Get out of my way, Miles!" ordered Sonic
"No!" said Tails
"I said move!" said Sonic who shoved Tails. But Tails didn't budge.
"I'm warning you." warned Sonic "If you don't move..."
"If I don't move, what?" interrupted Miles "You'll hit me. Quit acting like an idiot and listen to reason."
After he heard Tails call him an Idiot Sonic clenched his fist. Sonic could not handle being insulted by one of his friends, let alone Tails who is like a brother to him. He got up and was ready to snap
" Me and Idiot?!" shouted Sonic "You're calling me an idiot! After all the times I saved you from Eggman and even looked out for your well being! You're calling me an idiot.!"
"Sonic?" asked Tails concerned
"In case you forget I've fighting in this war since I was in diapers!" continued Sonic "I didn't have the luxury of sitting in my room and read and get to do normal boy things. I have to grow up fast! I'm the one who has held this group together, while all you do sit in your lab and create gadgets! I'm the one risking my life so that you and everyone else sleep safely."
"Sonic stop it." ordered Sally
"Yeah, don't say something you will regret." said Amy
"Stay out of this!" snapped Sonic
"So for once Tails, can you trust me." said Sonic "and stop thinking you're better than me you two tailed FREAK!"
Upon hearing the word that he resented the most. The fox's eyes started to fill with tears, tears at the fact that Sonic called him the word that scarred the poor little Fox throughout his life. Just then Tails snapped:
"SONIC! YOU JERK!" Shouted Tails "I HATE YOU!"
Tails lew away crying.
"No Tails...Wait...I...didn't..."muttered Sonic as he soon realized what he's done
"Sonic!" shouted Sally "You jerk! How could you say that to him!"
Sally ran towards Sonic and gave him a slap in the face. The slap was so strong that it almost send him flying into the other side of town. The others looked on with shock and dismay.
"That was uncalled for!" Sally continue to shout "How could you do that, to someone who looks up to you. Worse calling him that name that you know pretty well hurts him the most."
"I'm sorry Sal." said Sonic with tears coming out of his green eyes "I didn't mean to, I was somehow consumed by all the rage. Loosing Uncle Chuck just made me snap, I felt like something unleashed inside of me."
"That's still no excuse." said Sally "You have to apologize to him."
"You right Sal." said Sonic "I need to make things right with him, I just hope I'm not too late."
The Sailors got close to Sonic and Sally. Sonic took a defensive pose ready to guard himself against the Sailors. The Sailors noticed this and proceeded to calm down.
"Please hear us out first." said Sailor Moon "We have no idea what happened here."
"We just got here." said Mercury. "We're after a group that looks just like you."
"Just like us?" said Sally puzzled "Who?"
"They've called themselves the Suppression Squad." said Mars
"Suppression Squad?" said Sonic surprised
"You know them?" asked Mars
"Yes we do." said Sally "They're our evil twins from a different dimension. What about them?"
"They've terrorized our city." said Jupiter "After we gave them a beating we chased them and ended up here. We've been looking for them."
"We thought they would be in this city." said Venus "But then we saw all these people lying around and you went crazy and attacked us."
"Please listen to us." said Sailor Moon "We are telling the truth and we want to help."
"They're right!" said a boy
"Who said that?" asked Sonic wondering who it was.
It was Ben Muttski who came out of nowhere and ran towards Sonic, Sally, The freedom fighters, and the Sailors
"Ben?" said Sonic "Ben!"
Sonic ran towards Ben and gave him a hug relief that he was alive.
"Am I glad to see you." said Sonic "Where have you been and did you know what happened to Uncle Chuck?"
"I do!" answered Ben "And these girls are telling the truth. The one's responsible were a lot older than these five. I saw them before I ran out of the city and they were riding on a car."
"The young'un is right." said Bunnie pointing to the ground "Just look at these tire tracks."
"Mon amour, you are right." agreed Antoine "Zese tracks probably lead all ze way to the city."
"If it wasn't these girls. Then who and what did they want?" asked Sally
"Apparently, they were after something called pure heart crystals." said Ben
"Pure Heart Crystals?" said Sonic puzzled "What are those?"
"I don't know." said Ben "The crazy lady that attacked the restaurant mentioned said she was after pure hear crystals."
"Excuse me little pup." said Mercury "Did you say Pure Heart Crystals?"
"Yes." said Ben "They were after Pure Hearts Crystals."
"Excuse me, What am I chopped liver." interrupted Sonic "What the heck are pure hearts."
"They are crystals that are the physical representation of person's heart." answered Mercury "They are very fragile and can easily break that's why it's important to retrieve them."
"So that's what happened to the people here." said Tuxedo Mask
"Then there can only be one group responsible for this." said Jupiter "The only one that is after pure hearts."
"The Death Buster!" said the Sailors
"Death Busters?" asked Sally Puzzled
"Who are they?" asked Sonic
"A Cult led by the mad scientist Soichi Tomoe." answered Mercury
"Soichi Tomoe?" asked Sally wondering who that was.
"We'll explain later. The best thing would be find all the pure hearts as soon as possible." said Mercury
"But where could they have gone?" asked Venus "We have no idea where we are. We just got here."
"You're on a planet called Mobius." said Sally "And don't worry we have a pretty good idea these Death Busters could go."
"Oh no!" realized Sonic "The Knothole village! That's the next target!"
"Where's this Knothole Village located?" asked Mars
"Don't worry just follow us." said Sally "All right Freedom Fighters, Chaotix, and you too ladies let's go! Royal Guard take care of civilians we'll be back."
The Freedom Fighters, Chaotix, and the Sailor Soldiers ran towards the Knothole Village in the Great
(NOTE: There will be times where I'll mention heart crystals or pure hearts or pure heart crystals out of confusion or laziness.)
Forest.
Outside the Knothole Freedom HQ Tails was sitting on top of a tree upset.
"Stupid, Sonic." said Tails "I can't believe he called me that. Him out of all people."
At the Eudial showed up walking around looking for any more targets. As she walked she noticed Tails on the tree. She looked at Tails with excitement. She ran towards a bush and hid pointing her gun at Tails.
"A two tailed fox?" thought Eudial "What an interesting creature, well no time to marvel at this wonder. It's pure heart snatching time."
Tails kept crying after hearing all the hurtful things Sonic said to him. Just then Tails heard rustling in the bushes. He jumped from the tree on to the ground and stared at the direction of the bushes.
"Who's there?" asked Tails "Is it you Sonic? If it's you then forget talking to me. As of now I'm done with you and I'm leaving the Knothole so I never have to see your ugly face."
"Who's this Sonic?" asked Eudial coming out of the bushes.
"Who are you?" asked Tails looking at Eudial
"Allow me to introduce myself, little fox cub." sad Eudial "My name is Ediual brilliant inventor and leader of the Witches 5."
"Witches 5?" said Tails puzzeled "What do you want?"
"All I want from you is you PURE HEART CRYSTAL." said Eudial
"Pure Heart Crystal?" thought Tails
Eudial took out her gun was ready to fire it at Tails. Tails saw the gun and decided to try to fly away
"Oh no you don't!" said Eudial "You're not getting away from me!"
Eudial fired her gun releasing a beam of dark light
"Captured!" said Eudial as the beam hit Tails extracting his pure heart and sending crashing into the ground.
"Great shot!" said Eudial satisfied "I must be improving on my aim."
Eudial picked up Tails' pure heart but was amazed at the glowing energy of the Heart Crystal
"This Heart Crystal is emitting a strong energy." said Eudial "It will make a great sacrifice for the resurrection of our glorious masters Pharaoh 90."
Eudial then heard footsteps nearby indicating that they're closing in.
"Drat! Intruders." said Eudial "Might as well take this treasure and retreat for now."
Eudial disappeared before the freedom fighters could discover her.
"Wow! What a lovely forest." said Jupiter amazed by the beauty of the forest
"So your base is right next to this forest." said Mars "But why?"
"Because we built it during the war with Eggman." said Sonic "We hid here and founded a resistance movement with the hopes of defeating his Empire. Which we just did not to long ago once and for all."
"Eggman?" asked Sailor Moon "Who is he?"
"An evil scientist who roboticizes animals." said Bunnie
"Roboticize animals?" asked Chibi Moon
"Basically turning cute animals like ourselves into his evil robot slaves." said Bunnie "Forcing us to do his biding. He almost did it to me." Showing Chibi Moon her robot half
"No! I don't want to be a robot!" said Chibi Moon terrified
"Don't worry little one." said Bunnie "I'll protect you."
"So who are zese 'Death Busters?', If you don't mind me asking, mademoiselles." said Antoine
"As we mentioned back there, It's an evil cult." said Mars "They're main goal is to gather all the pure heart crystals they can find and use them to resurrect an evil being called the Messiah of Silence."
"Messiah of Silence?" said Antoine terrified "Cult?"
"What happens if this Messiah of Silence is resurrected?" asked Sally
"All life on our planet and possibly yours will be wiped out." said Mercury
"Of course, the whole destroy the world thing." said Sonic sarcastically "Why can't villains be a little more creative these days."
"Sonic! Now it's not the time for quips." said Sally "This is serious. we're facing an enemy more dangerous than Eggman or any one we fought."
"Don't worry I fought worse." said Sonic in a cocky attitude "I can handle an evil doomsday cult."
"Cocky, aren't we?" said Knuckles
"Hey guys." said Amy pointing to something in the middle of the forest "There's something lying on the ground up ahead."
"What is it?" said Knuckles
"It looks like Tails." said Espio "It is Tails, but why is he lying on the ground."
"Tails!" said Sonic
Sonic sped ahead from the rest of the group.
"Does he always do that?" asked Venus
"All the time." said Sally "He likes to show off his incredible speed in hopes that we are impressed. Frankly I find it annoying."
The group eventually caught up to Sonic and they all gathered around Tails. Sonic went up close to see what was wrong. Only to realize he heard no pulse.
"No!" said Sonic "Not Tails too!"
"What's wrong, Sonic?" said Sally
"There's no pulse." said Sonic "And his body is cold."
"The Death Busters must've been here." said Sailor Moon "They might be nearby."
"I am sorry, buddy." cried Sonic "I didn't mean all those things I said. I let my rage blind me and in the process lash out at you for no reason. I can't afford to loose you, little bro. Please wake up!"
"Sonic, I know this hard for you." said Sally consoling Sonic "He's like family to me too. But we can't afford to stay here any longer. We need to find the Death Busters and retrieve their pure hearts."
"You got a point, Sal." said Sonic "I can't sit here as mope all day I have to save him, Uncle Chuck, and everyone else."
"Don't worry." said Tuxedo Mask "I will stay and take care of your friend."
"Yeah I'll stay and keep an eye on him, too." said Chibi Moon
"Okay let's go." said Sailor Moon
The freedom fighters, Chaotix, and the Sailors then headed into the interior of the forest in search of the pure hearts.
