Freedom is Music to My Ears
"Sonic, Sonic, wake up." said Tails, shaking the sleeping hedgehog.
"Five more minutes." he groggily said, turning and pulling the covers over his head.
"SONIC!" the two-tailed fox yelled into his ear.
"I'm up, I'm up, dude you nearly caused me to go deaf." he said, rubbing his left ear.
"Sorry, but Sally called all the freedom fighters" for an important meeting and the Sonic Underground are suppose to be playing a song."
"Ok, I got to go see manic and Sonia about our rehearsal, see you later." Sonic rushed out the room towards the guest rooms and knocked at both doors. Soon the green and pink hedgehog opened their doors.
"Ready to play at the meeting." said Manic.
"Does Sonia have a crush on Knuckles?" The two brothers laughed as Sonia was fuming.
"Hahaha, very funny." she said sarcastically
"That's why we're laughing."
"Anyway, shall we be going before I lose my patience on you two?"
"Ok, follow me." Sonic led the two out the house toward the meeting place.
"Finally, zey hedgehogs have zinally arrive, zhould you need zome instruments." said the French coyote.
"No need Ant, we already got them." They climbed the stage and rubbed their medallions. They begin to glow the color of their owners fur and transformed into instruments. Sonic's was a guitar, Sonia was a piano, and Manic's was a drum sets.
"Woah." everybody said amazed at the medallions ability.
"Ok, everyone ready. A 1, a 2, a 1, 2, 3, 4." They began to play.
We're the Sonic Underground
Come in, my friend, welcome to the party
But only if you're one of our kind
The adventure of our life is now starting
Robotnik's empire running out of time
We're the Sonic Underground
Listen to our freedom sound
Hiding in the heart of the city
We plot and plan Robotnik's overthrow
It's a dirty job and no, it's not pretty
Always on the run, always laying low
We're the Sonic Underground
Listen to our freedom sound
Never know where we'll be found
We're the sonic underground
End of Song
Everyone cheered and their instruments transformed back into medallions.
"Alright, let's get this meeting started. I call this meeting to talk about Robotnik's newest plan. Nicole has just intercepted a message from Robotnik. He was talking to two bounty hunters.
"Was their names Sleet and Dingo?" said Sonia.
"Yeah, how did you know?" replied Sally.
"We had lots of run in with those two. Sleet the cocky one and Dingo is just plain stupid and has a crush on Sonia." said Manic, nudging his sister.
"Well, those two are heading near the Syrian Desert. There is supposed to be a mine full of powerful gems that can give off as much energy as the power rings.'
"Power Rings, what are those?" asked Sonia.
"They give sonic a sudden burst of speed and can only be used by him."
"Woah." they said.
"Anyway, we'll be heading out to the Syrian Desert tomorrow. I suggest that we prepare. Everyone is dismissed." Everyone began to get ready for the long trip ahead.
"Hey, Sonic Underground, can I speak to you in private." said Sally.
"Sure." they said. They followed the squirrel to a room filled with numerous inventions and a huge computer. "I want to talk, royalty to royalty."
"Ok, fire away." said Manic.
She took a deep breath then asked, "What happen to your mom?"
"She separated us so we can fulfill a prophecy. I was sent to an aristocrat family, Sonic got raised by a normal family, and Manic was raised as a thief. Sonic had got a message from the Oracle of Delphuis and played a song in his heart telling him that we were close. Then he played at a club and we heard the music, even though we were far away. We met, but our foster family got captured and Sonic's uncle chuck got captured." said Sonia
"No wonder he was roboticized again." the squirrel.
"He was roboticized before?" Manic asked. Sally nodded.
"Anyway, great song, it really sends a message. See you all tomorrow and Sonic, I…I…love you." She then kissed him on the cheek.
"Sal, I love you, too." He then gave her a hug. Sonia and Manic smiled happily at them. Soon, Sonic let go and the trio headed out toward the hut.
