Episode 2
Previously on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
The threat to Mobius known as Dr. Eggman attacked Castle Acorn, but Sonic the Hedgehog and his band of Freedom Fighters drew Eggman back! Before the Freedom Fighters left however, Princess Sally asked if she could join in on their adventures. While Tails, TodStar and Amy were sceptical, Sonic was happy to have another team member!
After introductions and a tour of their home, Freedom HQ, Sonic started training Sally right away!
Meanwhile, a robot that Dr. Eggman called 'Gizoid' was trying to escape his robot forces. Will it escape, or will the Freedom Fighters come to it's rescue? Find out next on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius!
Chapter Two: Sally's First Mission
Sally was now working up a sweat while training with Sonic.
"*huff huff* Can we stop now, Sonic?" She asked him.
"Heh. Yeah, I guess." Sonic replied.
While Amy was staring at Sonic and Sally, TodStar was waving a Wii Remote at the screen, and Tails was running a diagnostic in the laboratory. All of a sudden, Tails detected a distress signal... coming from a place called Robotropolis.
"Robotropolis? Hmm... 'Who is sending this distress signal?'" Tails asked while typing what he said to the source of the distress signal.
"Someone... who wishes... to escape... the Eggman Empire..." The source replied.
"'Okay, we're on our way.'" Said Tails as he sent back a reply to the source. "Hey guys! I'm picking up a distress signal!"
After everyone gathered, Tails played back his brief talk with the source of the distress signal.
"Robotropolis?" Sally cried.
"I'm not sure about this, Tails..." Said Amy. "I mean, what if it's a trap?"
"Meh. I could get us out of there." TodStar pointed out.
"How, TodStar?" Sally asked him. TodStar then warped into four different places around Sally.
"Two words: Chaos Control." TodStar replied.
"Well, it'll be dangerous, but I say we do it." Sonic announced. "After all, we've gotta help anyone we can, right?" They all nodded. "All right. Hey Tails, how about you get the Tornado ready to rock?"
"You got it, Sonic!" Tails replied before giving Sonic a high-five and started flying while spinning his two tails.
"Tornado?" Asked Sally.
"You'll see..." TodStar answered.
Outside Freedom HQ, Tails was already outside, sitting in the cockpit of a blue biplane.
"Sally, let me introduce you to the Tornado." Said Sonic.
"Impressive, but there's only two seats. Where are we all gonna sit?" Sally asked.
"That's easy. You'll get the seat behind Tails." Sonic replied. "As for me, Amy and TodStar..." As he said that, Amy jumped on top of one of the wings, while TodStar warped on top of the other wing. "...and I'll just run below you guys."
"Oh. That's kind of reckless, isn't it?" Sally asked.
"It's just the way we roll!" TodStar replied.
"Okay, then... Let's do it!" Said Sally, while everyone else gave her a wink and a thumbs-up.
While Sonic raced towards Robotropolis on foot, the Tornado had just taken to the skies, with everyone else on board.
"Next stop: Robotropolis!" Tails yelled as he flew the Tornado as fast as he could so they could keep up with Sonic.
At that moment, back in Robotropolis, Dr. Eggman had cornered the robot that tried to escape his city.
"All right, Gizoid... if you come quietly, I promise that no harm shall come to you." Said the doctor.
"You will eventually mistreat me, just as you have with past prisoners!" The Gizoid told Eggman, in a female voice.
"True, but you carry important information. Information which I can use to create a better Mobius! A Mobius that everyone can enjoy!" Eggman replied.
"I do not need a lie detector to know that you are lying, Doctor." Said the Gizoid, which made Eggman mad.
"All right, you asked for it!" He warned the Gizoid, but before he ordered his robots to shoot it, he noticed that something was approaching the city... "What? Who would dare to come her- You sent those lousy Freedom Fighters a distress call, didn't you?" The Gizoid merely nodded. "Bah! Take the Gizoid to a holding cell, and prepare for battle!"
At that moment, Tails was detecting enemy forces approaching the Tornado...
"Uh-oh..." He said out loud.
"Uh-oh? What, uh-oh?" Sally asked him.
"Hang on tight, Sally! Sonic, you go on ahead and find whoever sent that distress signal!" Tails replied before contacting Sonic via radio.
"Got it, bud!" Said Sonic, before he took off, Sally fell into his arms! "Huh? Sally?"
"I can help, right Sonic?" She asked before he eventually nodded and started picking up speed. Amy just took Sally's seat, and started pouting to herself.
Back up in the sky, the Tornado was avoiding laser fire from Eggman's robots.
"Chaos... SPEAR!" Yelled TodStar as he threw an arrow of Chaos Energy at a robot, making it explode.
"OK, I'm going for the big guy! Cover me, TodStar." Said Tails.
"I'm on it!" TodStar replied. As Tails flew closer towards the bigger robot, TodStar and Amy were attacking whatever robots were out of Tails' range.
"Attention, Egg Hawk. Take aim at that plane. Blast it out of the sky!" Eggman ordered the bird-shaped robot. With an Egg Pawn piloting Egg Hawk, two more Egg Pawns were controlling the turrets on its wings. While its firepower was impressive, the Tornado was moving too fast for the Egg Hawk to hit it!
Meanwhile, within Robotropolis, Sonic and Sally had charged their way into the city, using his speed and her sword!
"Hey Sal, how far's the distress signal?" Sonic asked.
"Not too much further, Sonic. Just a few more fee- Aah!" She replied, but was inturrupted by the amount of robots that were waiting for them!
"C'mon, don't tell me you're scared of a few dozen robots?" Sonic asked her.
"Of course not! Let's smash 'em!" She replied as she leaped towards the robots, ready to swing her sword! After Sally sliced through a few of the robots, Sonic Spin Dashed into another couple!
"Sonic, you go find that distress signal! I'll keep 'em busy!" Sally told him.
"You sure?" He asked, but she nodded.
"Go!"
Sonic then blasted his way towards what looked like prison chambers, until he found the source of the distress signal...
"A ROBOT?" He asked out loud in disbelief as he found the source of the distress signal behind bars.
"Sonic... the Hedgehog... I expected another Freedom Fighter besides you, no offence." Said the robot, in a female voice.
"Uhh, none taken. But if you're a robot, why're you locked up?" Sonic asked it.
"Because I contain information I shouldn't possess..." The robot replied. "Before I found this information, I would follow Dr. Eggman's orders, no questions asked. But just a few days ago, I accidentely hacked into the doctor's database, and I realized what my actions were doing to the denizens of Mobius..." While the robot was telling it's story, Sally showed up.
"Your a robot?" Sally asked it when she arrived.
"Believe me, I wish I wasn't..." The robot replied. "Anyway, after learning of my devious deeds, I requested to be shut down and dismantled, but Dr. Eggman laughed in my face, not believing that I had developed a conscience all of a sudden. After I showed the doctor what I had seen, he was furious, and asked me how I obtained it, but I refused, and also said that I would take this information to the Freedom Fighters if I had to. Dr. Eggman then tried to capture me by unleashing all of his forces at me, and while I evaded all of their attacks, I was low on power, so I sent a distress signal to you..."
"Whoa." Was all Sonic could say, while Sally was quietly sobbing after hearing the robot's plight.
"*sniff* Don't worry. We're gonna get you out of here, right Sonic?" Sally said, but Sonic wasn't sure... "Sonic... we are going to save this... this-"
"Gizoid."
"Thanks. - Gizoid, right?"
"I... dunno, Sal..." Before Sally could argue, she and Sonic heard Tails' voice via radio...
"Sonic, Sally, if you two have found whoever sent that distress signal, grab 'em and let's get outta here!"
"Sonic, Tails & I can't hold up much longer, so get on with it, mate!" Yelled TodStar via radio.
"Got it! Stand back, you two." Said Sonic before he Spin Dashed into the bars of the Gizoid's cell, then got the Gizoid on his back. "Hold on tight!" Sonic yelled before he ran off with Sally and the Gizoid in hand.
Soon, sirens were sounding all over Robotropolis.
"NO! Sonic's escaping with the Gizoid! Well, not on my watch!" Eggman yelled as he pressed a button that said 'LOCK-DOWN' on it.
"EMERGANCY LOCK-DOWN IN PROGRESS. REPEAT: EMERGANCY LOCK-DOWN IN PROGRESS." Before they knew it, Sonic, Sally and the Gizoid were locked in the city, with no escape!
"Dang it!"
"Oh, no!"
"Gah hahahaha! There's no escape for you this time, Sonic! And I will dismatle you, Gizoid, but in the most inhumane way possible! Gah hahahaha!" Before Eggman could celebrate any further though, he detected an energy surge both outside and inside the city.
"What? What's going o- WHAT? NO!" He cried as he realized his Gizoid had vanished!
Outside Robotropolis, Sonic, Sally and the Gizoid had just appeared out of thin air along with TodStar.
"Whew! Nice save, TodStar!" Said Sonic, giving the echidna a high-five.
"Thanks, but being around that robot kinda took it's toll on me..." TodStar replied before he quietly groaned in agony.
"That power..." The Gizoid began, but it suddenly collasped on Sonic's back.
"Hmm... it must be low on energy..." Spectulated Tails. "If we can get it back to Freedom HQ, I can get it fixed, no problem!"
"Hey, do you want a hand with that, Tails?" Sally asked.
"Sure. The more the merrier!" Tails replied. However, on the plane-ride home, Sonic still wasn't sure...
Later, back within Robotropolis, Eggman was standing in front of a robot with a laser cannon for an arm, and a floating 'Jet Disk' behind it.
"Once you find that traitor of a Gizoid, destroy it. Do I make myself clear, Gamma?" He asked the robot.
"YES, DOCTOR. I WILL COMPLY." The robot replied, before it left Eggman's presence.
Unknown to either the robot or Eggman, a black hedgehog with red stripes had begun following the robot...
"I have to make sure that Gizoid remains functional..." He said as he followed the robot designated as Gamma.
