Author's Note: At one point I was considering adding some stories to the Bookshire Fanfiction Continuum. Being a fan of Snively, I was going to fill in some of the adventures of the Freedom Fighters during his reign of Robotropolis; the story below is as far as I got. It is set sometime after Doomsday.

Previously:

Some time before Doomsday, the Freedom Fighters were contacted by a shape-shifting alien, Vision the Keld'yrian. His people had been observing Mobius for some time, but, due to their policy of non-interference, they could do nothing to help -- until they discovered that Robotnik had some extraterrestrial assistance of his own.

Some time later, Robotnik attempted to create a dimensional teleportation system, and inadvertently transported two humans from Earth - Kain and Arthur - to Mobius. This process also transformed Kain into a black Mobian cat. The two joined the Freedom Fighters.

A few weeks before Doomsday, another alien became stranded on Mobius-- a vulpine by the name of J'hosesophae. An accident with a Power Ring later changed him into an orange Hedgehog. Not long after that, he came across the Floating Island, where he ran afoul of it's Guardian, Knuckles (who had been driven insane by the Red Chaos Emerald). Joseph barely escaped alive.

...Now, some time has passed since Doomsday, and the people of Mobius are beginning to rebuild. To assist in this project, Sally, Rotor, Joseph, and Vision constructed two androids-- a black fox named David Prower, and Alicia Acorn (actually a fake Sally created by Robotnik, and remodeled and reprogrammed by the group).

But... Someone has taken control of most of the robots left in Robotropolis, and is planning on using them to conquer Mobius for himself... and he's not alone! ;)

Chapter One: "It's My Turn Now!"

A blue-streak cut through the streets of Robotropolis, entering the Death Egg without any difficulty. Moments later, it entered the control room, and stopped, revealing the metallic form of Mecha Sonic.

"Ahg! De hedgehog!" Knuckles shouted in anger, seeing the robot. "I make you pay!" He charged at Mecha Sonic, fists ready for action, but Mecha Sonic simply stepped out of the way, then shot his foot out, tripping Knuckles and sending the echidna sprawling to the floor.

"Now, now, we're all on the same side, remember?" a voice said from Robotnik's chair. It spun around, revealing the city's new ruler--Snively.

Knuckles got to his feet. "Oh, ya, right. I forgot, mon."

Snively rolled his eyes. He hopped down from the chair, and walked over to the two of them. "Welcome back, Mecha Sonic. I'm pleased to say that, after your latest modifications, you're faster than ever-- even faster than the Hedgehog, if Robotnik's data on him is accurate."

Mecha Sonic's red eyes glowed more brightly, and he said in a cold voice, "That knowledge pleases me. I shall destroy him, Master."

"Not if I kill him first, mon," Knuckles said, slapping one fist into the other.

Snively cleared his throat. "Er, yes... Mecha Sonic, how did the test go on your end? Any problems with the new systems?"

"Negative, Master Snively. All systems performed within desired parameters. Conclusion: Test Successful."

"Yes! Finally!" Snively said excitedly. His eyes narrowing, he intoned, "Look out, Hedgehog. You're finished, this time! --And once you're out of the way... MOBIUS SHALL BE MINE! Ah ha! Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha-- cough wheeze --ha!"

"Who you talkin' to, mon? Hedgehog not be here," Knuckles said, looking around and scratching his head.

"Oh, shut up."
