Chapter 110: Free

Thanks to an orange-colored Wisp shaped like a miniature rocket, Sonic was able to transform into a rocket-shaped creature that blasted the underside of the green-tubed ship a couple of times which blasted it away into the depths of space beyond Asteroid Coaster. Then once he got back to the generator its electrical field shut off like the others.

"You did it, Sonic!" Miles exclaimed as Sonic heaved a deep sigh as the Orange Wisp left his body and he changed back into Sonny. "Now we only have one more planet to go!"

"And which one is that?" Sonny said breathlessly.

"Planet Wisp, the original home-world of all the Wisps we've encountered so far," Miles replied.

"But what about the other planets we've visited up till now?"

"They were colonized by the Wisps later on as their population grew, but they originally came from the planet Wisp."

"Oh, I see." Sonny briefly scratched his head and then said, "Maybe we'll find Yacker there."

"Possibly, and those missing satellites," Miles said as he followed Sonny towards the exit to Asteroid Coaster.

"All right, the last generator!" Sonny said and was about to approach it when another floating Ferris Wheel appeared with a similar robot attached though this one was green and not red.

"Really? Another Ferris Wheel?" Sonny whined as he became Sonic. "I think Eggman's starting to run out of ideas at this point!"

Using a pink Wisp with a spiky head, Sonic transformed into a pink spiky ball that was able to stick to the surface of each rolling orb that circled around the robot. Then when the robot was most vulnerable, Sonic attacked it twice with a Homing Attack which caused the robot to explode and the Ferris Wheel to crash. Fortunately, Sonic got off just as the Pink Wisp left his body and he turned into Sonny once more.

Miles appeared just as the generator shut down and said, "I couldn't find Yacker anywhere on this planet, but I found something that might help us find the missing satellites."

"What is it?" Sonny asked as Miles presented him with a broken antennae.

"I used my PAD to scan it, and this broken antennae belonged to one of the satellites that disappeared," Miles said. "If I could attach this to my PAD, I could emit a signal that'll take me directly to where the satellites are as they'll be on the same frequency."

"Good idea, now let's get off this planet before the chains start to come loose."

###

Back on the Tropical Resort, Sonny and Miles watched as the chain-shaped tractor beams vanished while the remaining Wisps flew around them in joyous circles.

"Sweet!" Miles exclaimed. "With the tractor beams gone, the Wisp Planets are free!"

"I sure wish Yacker was here to see this," Sonny said solemnly.

"Yeah, I hope he's okay," Miles said. "Now let's find those missing satellites, blow this joint, and head home."

"But what about the Wisps?"

"They'll be fine. Yacker told me earlier that they can fly through space so they can go to their planets once we blow up this park."

"All right, sounds like a plan."

While the Wisps flew around and danced, Miles and Sonny followed the signal that Miles' PAD picked up from the antennae he attached. Eventually, they came to a storage room that was full of satellites that were turned off and clustered together.

"This shouldn't take long," Sonny said enthusiastically as he picked up a satellite. "With the Wisps' help, I could fly out into space and put these satellites back into orbit."

"Yeah, but be sure to place them far away from the park so that when we explode this place they don't get destroyed."

"Right," Sonny said and found a green Wisp with three stubby legs, a round body, and a singular blue eye. "Hey, would you mind lending me a hand?"

The Green Wisp nodded and merged with Sonny just as he transformed into Sonic to become a floating green head that floated. With the satellite in its grasp, Sonic's Green Hover form floated to a tube that led him out into the vast reaches of space where he floated towards Mobius and released the satellite which immediately went into orbit. This continued several times as one Green Wisp left Sonic's body only to be taken over by another. So by the time Sonic got every single satellite back into orbit, he not only collapsed but could also barely move as he became Sonny once again.

"I hope the Commander gives us some kind of reward when we get back," Sonny murmured as Miles helped him up.

"He'll probably be mad at us for trying to deal with Eggman ourselves instead of letting Team Dark and Neo handle it," Miles sighed.

"You mean Shawn, Rouge, Omega, Silva, and Blake?" Sonny asked.

"Of course," Miles nodded. "That's their team names."

"Did they call themselves that before or after the EX-Gear tournament?"

"I think after."

"Pretty bad idea considering they used those names on international TV."

"I know, but you got to admit the names are pretty cool."

Then before Sonny could reply, a large explosion occurred above their heads which caused the Wisps to go into a frenzy as purple energy exploded from four tubes that converged around a ring that circled around the space elevator track. Then the purple energy gathered into a single entity that blasted off into the far reaches of space with a hollow laughter following in its wake.

"What the heck was that?" Sonny said.

"I don't know," Miles said shivering slightly. "But I didn't like it."

"Same here, now let's get to the space elevator before something worse happens."

"I'm with you on that!"

The two boys quickly transformed into Sonic and Tails as they made their way out of Tropical Resort and arrived at the space elevator just as the floor beneath them started to shake heavier. But before they could get in, a giant purple robot with massive teeth, serpentine heads, and several tubes filled with purple energy appeared behind them. Then underneath a grey-tinted glass dome Sonic and Tails could see Eggman's face.
