Episode 12

Previously on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
TodStar had a vision of an echidna girl trying to escape Robotropolis, and decided to go to Angel Island to get some backup to help him rescue her. However, he left Tails back on the ARK, and while he did find the Chaos Emerald, he also lost his body to a liquid monster of some sort!
Meanwhile, Sonic raced to save Sally from Robotropolis, but her robot double was waiting for him. However, after rescuing 'her' from Metal Sonic, Sonic chased after HIS robot double. Eggman then ordered Sally's robot double to 'cause some havok' back at Freedom HQ.
Sonic was about to end Metal Sonic, but Eggman gave him an ultimatum: "Surrender, or witness your beloved princess become a robot?" Against his better judgement and Sally's words, Sonic dropped his sword. "All right Eggman, you win."
Dr. Eggman then started zapping Sonic with some sort of electricity that cause his body and mind to change... "Hahahaha! Now, Sonic, are you ready for your first mission?"
"Yes, Doctor."
Now that Sonic has become a robot, can anyone stand against him? Will TodStar and the Chaotix rescue the girl in his vision? And will Sally's robot double cause problems back home? Find out next on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius!

Chapter Twelve: Corruption Killed the Friendship (Part 3 of Robot Rampage!)

Amy had just returned home to Freedom HQ, where she saw Nicole steering with the Wii Wheel.
"*giggle* Need a hand?" She asked.
"But only one person at a time can use a Wii Wheel." Nicole replied.
"It's a figure of speech, Nicole." Said Amy. "What I meant was: Want some help?"
"No, thanks. I can figure it out myself." Nicole answered, still struggling.
"Really? How about we race each other?" Challenged Amy as she picked up another Wii Wheel.
"Challenge accepted." Nicole replied.
As the two raced each other on a track with a wooden cannon that was aimed at a volcano, Sally's robot double arrived outside Freedom HQ. But before 'she' entered, she looked in the window and saw Amy and Nicole laughing and enjoying themselves. Sally's robot double also noticed that Nicole was also a robot, which got 'her' thinking...

Meanwhile on Angel Island, TodStar and his old friend Vector were reminicing while Knuckles was showing his newly discovered brother around the island, when they heard a voice that was close...
"Knuckles, have you taken up cloning?" Asked the voice.
"No Espio, that's my brother." Knuckles replied as the voice revealed himself: A purple chameleon.
"Forgive me. My name is Espio." Said the chameleon.
"G'day. Name's TodStar." The green echidna replied. "And as great as it is to see this awesome island and an old friend, I've have to get to Robotropolis!
"Well, you're gonna need some extra muscle..." Knuckles told his twin brother. "Yo, Mighty! You around here?" The four of them suddenly heard a couple of trees crashing. Out of the jungle came a red armadillo.
"Hey, guys." He said. "Who's this?"
"This is TodStar." Knuckles replied. "My brother."
"And an old buddy of mine!" Added Vector as he grabbed TodStar and gave him another noogie treatment.
"Well, any friend of Vector's is a friend of mine. I'm Mighty." Said the armadillo while grabbing TodStar's hand and squeezing it quite tightly. TodStar was trying to overcome the pain, however, his face did not. "Whoop! Er, sorry."
"Yeah... Mighty definately lives up to his name." Said Knuckles as TodStar was groaning over his swollen hand.

Meanwhile, within the Space Colony ARK, the liquid monster within Tails was struggling to keep it's balance with it's new body. All of a sudden, since the pot plant was pretty close to the Chaos Emerald, it started growing quite quickly. Soon, a rose began to bloom, and a hologram of a female Mobian-like creature appeared above it, frightening the liquid monster within Tails.
"Artificial Chaos..." Said the hologram. "Release the Mobian, or suffer the consequences." The 'Artificial Chaos' as the hologram called it, then ran towards the rose the hologram came from and attempted to pull it out from the soil, but soon large vines emerged, wrapping around Tails' arms and legs, and held Tails and the Artificial Chaos up in the air.
"Release the Mobian, now." Repeated the hologram. The Artificial Chaos then closed Tails' eyes, opened his mouth, and the same kind of liquid that went into Tails' body came back out, and scurried away. The vines that held Tails up in the air then layed him back down on the ground and let the young fox go.

At that moment, Shadow and Gamma had arrived in the Kingdom of Mercia, which looked almost like a wasteland.
"So, this is the Kingdom of Mercia..." Shadow said.
"MY SENSORS ARE DETECTING THE CHAOS EMERALD IS WITHIN THAT CASTLE." Gamma stated as a Mobian in a hood walked up behind them.
"If there is a Chaos Emerald in there, gentlemen..." He said as Shadow and Gamma turned around. "...then it already belongs to Chaos Dracula."
"Hmph. Who is this 'Chaos Dracula' you speak of?" Asked Shadow, who had suddenly gotten curious.
"People all over these parts tell of an evil spirit that has dwelled within this castle since Dr. Eggman destroyed it all those years ago..." The hooded Mobian began.
"Spirit, eh? Sorry, but I'm not buying it."
"Wait! There is more to this tale, my friend. This evil spirit can possess any Mobian who ventures in there, but he needs Chaos Energy to survive within a body. If what you say is true, and there IS a Chaos Emerald in the castle, it is most likely that Chaos Dracula has found it, and is slowly sucking out it's power."
"Hmph. If you're trying to scare us, you have failed miserably. Come on, Gamma." Shadow replied as he and Gamma then headed towards the castle.
"Those two are doomed." Said the hooded Mobian, revealing his face: He was a hedgehog. "I hope my cousins aren't as foolish as that hedgehog and that machine..." As he said that, a hedgehog similar to Shadow wearing armor walked up to the hooded hedgehog.
"Something wrong, Your Highness?" He asked with a voice identical to Shadow's.
"*sigh* No, Sir Lancelot. Nothing's wrong." The hooded hedgehog replied while staring at Shadow and Gamma.
"Why does that hedgehog resemble me?" Asked Sir Lancelot, catching a glimpse of Shadow.
"I am not sure." The hooded hedgehog replied. "Perhaps you should confront him when the time is right, my friend."
"Will you be safe without me?"
"Yes, Lancelot. I can take care of myself. I am supposed to be King, am I not?"
"Hmm... Very well, Your Highness. I shall stalk my impostor until the time is right." Lancelot then approached the castle to spy on Shadow...

Back in Freedom HQ, Amy and Nicole were still racing each other, when 'Sally' walked in.
"Hey, you two." She said.
"Sally!" Exclaimed Amy.
"It is good to see you, Sally." Nicole told her, unaware that she had been captured. Although she detected something different about her...
"Yeah, likewise." 'Sally' replied. "Uhh, can I join you?"
"Wait." Said Amy. "How did you escape Robotropolis? Did Sonic rescue you?"
"You were captured?" Nicole asked, looking worried.
"Look, can we not talk about it now?" Asked 'Sally'. "I just want to have some fun!" 'She' then picked up a third Wii Wheel and sat next to Amy and Nicole, who both shrugged and joined 'her'.

Meanwhile, Shadow and Gamma had just entered the castle in Mercia, and where a normal person would feel uncomfortable, they did not.
"Hmph. I knew it was just something to scare kids..." Shadow said out loud before something flapping its wings shut the door behind Shadow and Gamma.
"CASTLE DOOR IS LOCKED." Gamma started.
"Dammit." Cursed Shadow. "Who's in here? Show yourself!" Shadow and Gamma then heard some giggling. Not child-like giggling, though.
"Shadow the Hedgehog..." Said a seductive voice that startled Shadow. "...never thought I'd see you again, sweetie."
"That voice..." He thought out loud. "It... sounds familiar..."
"EGGMAN ROBOT DETECTED." Gamma stated. "COMMENCING ATTACK." Gamma fired at a much bigger robot, but it's firepower couldn't penetrate the bigger robot's armor. "DOES NOT COMPUTE. I AM THE ULTIMATE E-SERIES ROBOT."
"YOU ARE NOW CONSIDERED OUTDATED, 'BROTHER'." Said the larger robot with a deeper voice chip than Gamma's. "I AM OMEGA, THE ULTIMATE E-SERIES ROBOT." As it said that, it fired it's machine guns at Gamma, who dodged all of Omega's attacks. "I WILL SERVE CHAOS DRACULA UNTIL I BECOME OBSOLETE."
"Show yourself, Chaos Dracula!" Yelled Shadow. "I'm not afraid of you."
"*giggle* You will be..." Said the seductive voice again. "...once you see who my host is..."
"No... she wouldn't..." Said a startled Shadow, looking at a female Mobian bat wearing high heels, wings that quickly turned into a cape, and a very tight bodysuit that revealed just enough cleavage. "Rouge?"

Outside Robotropolis, TodStar and the Chaotix had just arrived via Chaos Control.
"All right, time to rescue that girl!" TodStar announced, until he heard familiar cackling. "Eggman!"
"Gentlemen. So you glad you could join me." Said the Doctor who had just arrived to meet them in his Egg Mobile.
"Can the pleasentries, Eggman! Where's the girl?" Knuckles yelled.
"Wait. Don't you want to see my latest achievement?" Asked Eggman.
"If it'll get you to shut up!" Answered Vector.
"*chuckle* Come on out!" Eggman called out to his new robot. After an explosion, a robot that resembled Sonic emerged.
"What?" Asked TodStar.
"That's right." Eggman replied. "Say hello to my very first victim of Roboticization: Sonic the Hedgehog! Or should I say: Mecha Sonic!"
