Shirou and Fiona were on a motorcycle together, Fiona was in her old tracksuit and orange sneakers while Shirou was wearing a jacket, t-shirt and jeans.
Shirou stopped the motorcycle.
"What happened?" asked Fiona.
"I sense something." answered Shirou.
They both got off the motorcycle as Shirou walked towards a dark alleyway with Fiona not far behind. As they entered Shirou seemed to be sniffing the air before he picked something up. Shirou handed her an emerald cut gem he found.
"What do you make of this?" asked Shirou.
Fiona took it and looked it over. It reminded her of a Chaos Emerald but different.
"It gives off a similar aura to a Chaos Emerald." said Shirou.
"Yeah, but it looks different." said Fiona.
She then turned to walk back towards Shirou's bike.
"Thanks for finding it for me Fi." She turned and saw Scourge with the Destructix right around the corner.
"So, you broke them out too?" asked Fiona.
"Yeah, I have big plans to finish what I started. Now hand it over."
"I'm not giving you anything." said Fiona.
"So, this is Scourge?" Fiona looked to see Shirou coming over.
Scourge looked at Shirou eyeing him up and down a few times.
"You traded me in for tall, dark and gloomy over here? Honestly, Fiona, I thought you could do better than this." said Scourge.
"Big talk coming from someone three feet shorter than me." Shirou shot back.
Scourge gave him a nasty shark toothed grin.
"I'm going to guess you don't know exactly who it is you're dealing with, gramps. So let me lay it straight to you pal. I conquered my world single-handedly. I fought Sonic and Shadow at the same time and won. So, you better watch what you say, buddy." said Scourge.
"Last time I checked this World's Sonic can't do everything on his own, so you want to know what I think? I have a hunch that you're either lying and actually had help from your little Suppression Squad or your world is significantly weaker than our own. And sure, from what I heard you fought off Sonic and Shadow but only just barely." Shirou responded in kind.
Fiona's eyes widened, wounding Scourge's ego was going to make him angry and there wasn't enough room for Shirou to use the thing that he destroyed Mecha Sonic with. Did he have a death wish?! Scourge was going to eat him alive.
"You're a joke, a tryhard desperately attempting to standout because of some deep-seated insecurity. You're a Faker." said Shirou.
Scourge snarled and hit Shirou with a spin-dash knocking the wind out of him. As Shirou fell on his knees Scourge looked him in the eyes before he spoke.
"Wanna say that again to my face smart-ass?" said Scourge angrily.
Shirou just smiled before Scourge began to scream as his body was wracked with pain, because Shirou had shocked him with a stun gun. Shirou then recovered, got up and kicked Scourge like a football sending him flying a few feet away.
Fiona was fighting Lightning Lynx. She was dodging punches and kicks until she knocked him down with a well-timed leg sweep before knocking his lights out with a kick. Flying Frog saw this as an opening and glided towards her but Fiona kicked him in the face causing him to fall over backwards in a heap.
Meanwhile Shirou was dodging punches from Sergeant Simian. Predator Hawk circled through the air before swooping down and heading towards Shirou from behind. Shirou side-stepped a punch from Simian at the right moment which led to Simon accidentally punching Predator Hawk in the face and knocking him out cold. Simian's eyes widened in surprise at this before he became furious and pulled out a machete while Shirou responded by projecting Kanshou and Bakuya.
Scourge attempted to sneak behind him and came at him with another spin-dash, this time like a buzzsaw. Shirou dodged this time leading to Scourge cutting into Simian's chest and getting stuck. Scourge started swearing as Simon tried to pull him out. Shirou projected 9-lives and smashed Simian's head with it causing him to keel over, crushing Scourge underneath his weight. But suddenly a dark mist began to form around the Destructix.
The mist enveloped the Destructix before they dissappeared. Fiona then walked over to Shirou.
"Are you okay? Scourge didn't hurt you too bad did he?" asked Fiona while feeling Shirou's chest.
"I'm fine, I used reinforcement Magecraft to harden my skin and lesson the impact. I've also practiced breathing exercises during my mage training, which is how I was able to recover so quickly." explained Shirou.
"You're almost as crazy as Sonic! And I kind of like that." Fiona said.
"Plus, how you made the boys destroy each other was awesome." she finished.
As they went back to the motorcycle Shirou couldn't help but notice something. Fiona was still wearing that yellow bow. She wore it with every outfit and almost never took it off. He was curious about why it was so important to her. He wanted to know.
"Why do you wear that bow so often?" asked Shirou.
Fiona looked surprised at the question before responding.
"No one ever asked me that question before." she said quietly.
"It was the last thing my mom gave me. I remember when I was a little girl, I had always wanted a bow so my mom got me one for my 8th birthday. It wasn't long after that Robotnik took over and I got caught. I kept wearing the bow as a reminder of what I lost that day." Fiona said while looking at the ground.
The next day
Shirou woke up to the smell of something cooking. He got out of bed to see that Fiona had got up early and was making breakfast in her pajamas as her tail swished back and forth.
"What are you making?" asked Shirou.
"Oh, nothing special just bacon and eggs. Consider it my late way of saying thanks for taking me in." said Fiona. Shirou sat at the table before Fiona served the food. He tried it and noted that Fiona was a decent cook.
"How is it?" Fiona asked in anticipation.
"It's not bad." answered Shirou.
"You were willing to stand up to Shadow for me then Scourge. It makes me feel wanted." said Fiona as she ate some eggs too.
"I was just doing what I felt was right." said Shirou.
"Sure, you were." Fiona teased as she shoveled more food into her mouth.
"Hey, I'm being honest with you." said Shirou.
"Well, anyways we're going to need another Warp Ring after I gave mine to Finitevus." said Fiona.
"And how do you plan to do that?" asked Shirou.
"Well, I have an idea." said Fiona as her thoughts went to the gem from last night.
Later in the Wasteland
Fiona and Shirou walked around the wasteland where Knothole once was, Fiona seemed to look at it with a melancholic expression on her face.
"I used to live here, you know." said Fiona.
She walked up to a specific patch of dirt.
"This is where my house used to be. I remember Sonic would come to pick me up for our dates and I would get so excited. But that's nothing but a distant memory now." Fiona explained with a sad smile as she reminisced on days long passed. They then continued walking towards their destination.
They stood in front of the entrance to Freedom HQ. They were greeted by Nicole who appeared in front of them.
"Hello Fiona what business brings you here?" said Nicole the Holo-lynx cautiously.
"Well, I came to make a deal. I happen to be in need of a Warp Ring so I'll trade you this rock I found for it." said Fiona as she pulled out the gem from the night before.
"That's a Sol Emerald! Where did you get that?!" asked Nicole in surprise.
"I knew it was important! Me and Shirou found it. We fought Scourge and the Destructix for it." said Fiona.
"I'll go ask Sally." said Nicole.
"Also, Fiona I didn't like what you said to Sally the last time you two fought." Nicole commented sternly.
"I know, I'm sorry about that." Fiona apologized.
Then Nicole disappeared.
…
"So, let me repeat this to make sure that I'm understanding this right? Fiona showed up here with a Sol Emerald that she fought Scourge over and in exchange for it she wants me to contact the Chaotix all the way on Angel Island for a Warp Ring?" said Sally with an exasperated sigh.
"Yes, Sally." said Nicole awkwardly.
"Okay, fine." Sally reluctantly decided to go through with it.
She then went over to the communication equipment to contact Knuckles.
…
A Warp Ring opened up with Knuckles the Echidna, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel coming through. Knuckles looked very upset while Mighty and Ray looked a bit nervous.
"So, it's a deal?" asked Fiona.
"Take it, I don't want anything to do with it." said Knuckles as he just gave it to her.
"Okay?" said Fiona in response to Knuckles' odd behavior.
"The last person who used it is kind of a touchy subject." Mighty explained.
"Also, Fiona there's something that I should've told you a long time ago. It wasn't Sonic's fault that you weren't saved in the camp. It was mine and mine alone." said Mighty.
"Mighty …" whispered Fiona sadly.
"We almost had you, we found you there in the lab. You were unconscious being examined, but when Ray disappeared, I just lost it and started tearing up the place. Robotnik escaped in the chaos and took you with him." finished Mighty.
"For the longest time I thought you forgot about me." Fiona muttered.
"It's okay Mighty, I forgive you." said Fiona giving him a sweet smile.
Then Sally came out from the entrance of Freedom HQ.
"Now that you've got the Warp Ring it's time to honor your part of the deal." said Sally in an authoritative voice.
"A deal's a deal Sugar-Queen, catch!" said Fiona as she tossed the Sol Emerald which Sally caught.
"By the way Sally I kind of forgot to bring another Warp Ring with me. While Ray and I can glide, Mighty is earthbound so we're gonna need transportation back to Angel Island." explained Knuckles in embarrassment.
"Don't worry we'll send you back by air car." said Sally.
"Aren't those the flying saucer things?" asked Shirou.
"Yup." answered Fiona.
Shirou couldn't help but notice how sad Knuckles seemed when he looked at Sally's roboticized body. Shirou had heard of what happened to the Chipmunk, he had seen pictures of how she had looked before her transformation. The Princess had been a cute tomboy before she sacrificed herself to save the World during the events of Operation: Clean Sweep.
"Well, I'd like to hang out but we've got places to be." said Fiona.
The two mercenaries then went on their way. As they re-entered the Great Forest Shirou took a moment to look at Fiona. She was beautiful with her long brown hair and her well-groomed red and pale-yellow fur. Her icy blue eyes gave her a cold beauty whenever she was lost in thought. Shirou couldn't help but laugh when a butterfly landed on her nose.
Only to be taken by surprise when the butterfly began to speak.
"Fiona!" shouted the butterfly with anguish in a clearly female voice.
"Betty?" Fiona seemed to recognize the butterfly.
"Where were you when I needed you! Eggman attacked and everyone's dead!" the butterfly now identified as Betty cried.
"Betty, everything's okay everyone made it out alive." explained Fiona.
"*Sniff* Really?" asked Betty with tears in her eyes.
"They're in New Mobotropolis not too far from here." said Fiona.
"Oh, thank goodness!" said the butterfly before flying away.
Shirou was amazed at just how physically diverse the different types of mobians were. Fiona then tossed the Warp Ring opening a portal back to the apartment complex they lived at.
Ending Short: A Lifetime of Loneliness
After two years she had finally dug her way out of her cell. As she emerged she came across a purple weasel scavenging nearby.
"A weasel! You're not safe scavenging around these parts!" Fiona warned.
"Oh, yeah?" asked the Weasel as she turned to her.
"You think I can't handle myself?" asked the weasel.
"No, it's not that. We just can't be around here or we'll get caught." she whimpered.
"Alright fine." she caved.
As the Weasel left Fiona began to follow her much to the weasel's annoyance.
"Quit following me." said the weasel.
"But you're the first person I've met out here. I have nowhere else to go." said Fiona.
"Well, if you're gonna stick around you have to know somethings. First, my name's Nicolette, but I prefer to be called Nic. And Second, you do everything I say. Ya got it?!" explained Nic.
"Yes, Ma'am." said Fiona.
…
Fiona had done it. She had finally returned home. She climbed down the entrance hidden underneath a tree and entered the familiar space of the living room. It was much wider underground with room for furniture and other household objects. She excitedly ran around calling her parents.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" she called out as she went through the living room, then the kitchen, then the bedroom. But there was no one there.
"Mommy? Daddy?" Fiona whimpered looking around.
Fiona slowly walked back to the entrance and climbed back out. She sat down under the tree where her childhood home was and began to cry. Nic then came and decided to comfort her.
"Why did they leave me? We were supposed to be a family." asked Fiona.
"I hate to break it to you kid but sometimes you can't count on anyone." said Nic.
Extra Ending Short: Scourge and Fiona
It had been a few months after the Freedom Fighters retreated and the Suppression Squad had taken over Freedom HQ. Scourge had went off to attack Sonic while he was sleeping. Fiona had stayed awake waiting for him. When Scourge came back suddenly crying Fiona went to see what was wrong.
"Scourge, are you crying?" she asked.
"Shut up. I'm not crying." muttered Scourge.
"Scourge, Babe, what's bothering you? You can tell me anything." Fiona said sweetly.
"I said shut up! I don't wanna talk about it okay?!" Scourge yelled causing Fiona's eyes to widen as she backed away.
Meanwhile Miles, Tails' evil counterpart watched the whole thing with a smile on his face getting some sort of sick amusement out of watching.
…
After the Destructix had gathered all of the Chaos Emeralds with the help of Doctor Finitevus Scourge and Fiona celebrated early by drinking, making out and having sex. Now the both of them were in bed together, their clothes discarded on the floor. Fiona had her tail wrapped around Scourge affectionately.
"You know I always wanted to start a family." said Fiona.
This seemed to make Scourge uncomfortable.
"Fi you're starting to be a buzzkill." said Scourge.
"Aww, Babe just think about it. We'll have a bunch of little Scourges running around." Fiona continued.
But this just pissed Scourge off.
"Yeah, no thanks!" Scourge said as he turned away from her.
Fiona became upset at this.
To be honest I feel like I put the fight with Scourge a little too soon. It should be noted that Mobians in the original Sonic Archie Comics continuity have drastically different body types. Not only are there differences between species based on the same animal class such as Betty Butterfly, Archimedes and Charmy Bee but also between Mobians based on the same species like Arlo Armadillo and Mighty the Armadillo or Rouge the Bat and the bats of the Yagyu Clan.
