A New Friend
(Theme song - Kim Possible Theme Song)
(Third-Person POV)
*A few nights later, at the Hospital in New Mobotropolis, Abigail was lying in a hospital bed wearing white pajamas, her hair down, & had bandages around her arm & leg. She was still unconscious. Though she looked peaceful, she was flinching & sweating from a nightmare*
(Nightmare - Abigail's POV)
*I was running down the same hallway & I could hear Mordred's laughter all around me*
Mordred:*off-screen* You cannot escape me!
*I kept running until I saw a light at the end of the hallway. When I reached the end, I saw my family & Lacey's standing on a rock surrounded by lava*
Laura & Robert: Abigail! Help us!
Lacey: Abby! Help!
*I just stood there frozen, unsure what to do*
Mordred:*off-screen* Yes, my dear Abigail. Don't you want to save your precious family and friends. *I turned around & saw a giant shadow shaped like Mordred**on-screen* But I guess you can't, because your weak and pathetic!
*He reached his hand to grab me. I jumped out of the way. His hand hit the ground I landed on, causing it to break, making me to fall towards the lava, screaming*
(Sonic's POV)
*That night, Me, the Freedom Fighters, & the Chaotix were gathered in the living room at Freedom HQ. We were having a meeting to discuss our "new friend"*
Tails: Sonic, you gotta relax.
Sonic: She's been asleep for 4 days! If she's the girl the Fortune Teller saw in her vision, then she's been through something terrible!
Mighty: But at least she's safe now, right?
Sonic: I don't know. If something's after her, if might come here!
Espio: That's why we need to be ready and stand guard.
*Amy stood up from where she was sitting*
Amy: We have no idea what she's been through! I mean, she could just be suffering from shopping exhaustion.
Julie-Su: I don't think anybody here but you has suffered from that, Amy.
Amy:*pouting* I've never slept 4 days after shopping.
Knuckles: That's right, you slept for a week.
*Everyone started laughing at that*
Fiona: Good one, Knux.
*Amy glared at Fiona who gave her a smirk. Sally then pulled out her handheld computer. Nicole appeared as a mini hologram*
Sally: Nicole, how's our patient doing?
Nicole: Nothing's changed, Sally, she's still asleep.
Bunnie:*yawning* We better start hittin' the hay ourselves. It's gettin' late.
*Not needing to be told twice, we all went to get ready for bed*
(Third-Person POV)
*The next day, the Freedom Fighters were in New Mobotropolis, trying to keep themselves busy while waiting for Abigail to wake up. Sonic was helping Tails & T-Pup do a maintenance check on the Tornado. Rotor was doing the same thing with the Sky Patrol with Bunnie & Antoine's help. Sally was spending time with her family. Amy was babysitting Cream, Cheese, & Chocola while Vanilla was running errands. Fiona was getting her nails done. And the Chaotix were off doing some training in the Great Forest. At the hospital, two mongooses were visiting Abigail. One was a yellow female mongoose with purple hair & green eyes wearing a black & purple tank top, green & black gauntlets, white gloves, a black & purple skirt, & green & purple boots & the other was a yellow male mongoose with black hair & brown eyes wearing a red sunglasses, a white short sleeved jacket over a black t-shirt with a red emoji on it, blue pants, & black boots. The boy was looking out the window while the girl was wiping Abigail's forehead with a wet cloth. She was about to wet the cloth again when she heard a groan*
Mina: She's waking up! *The boy looked away from the window. Mina turned on her holographic wristwatch & Nicole appeared* Nicole, gather everyone. She's finally waking up!
Nicole: You got it!
(King Frederick Airfield)
*Sonic had just handed Tails a screwdriver when Nicole appeared through T-Pup's eyes*
Nicole: Sonic! Tails! She's finally waking up.
Sonic: Great!
Tails: We're on our way.
*They dropped everything & went straight to the hospital*
(Castle Acorn)
*Sally & her family (a dark & light brown male squirrel with red hair & blue eyes wearing a red & blue King's uniform & gold crown. a light & dark brown female chipmunk with dark auburn hair & blue eyes wearing a orange & gold dress & a gold crown. a light & dark brown male squirrel with dark auburn hair & blue eyes wearing a red & blue Royal Army uniform. a brown female squirrel with green eyes wearing a purple dress. In her arms, as a baby female brown squirrel with blue eyes wrapped in a blue blanket) were in the parlor having tea when Sally's handheld computer rang*
Sally:*answering it* Yes, Nicole?
Nicole: Forgive me for the interruption, Sally, but I would like to inform you that our guest is about to wake up.
King Nigel Acorn: Well, that's good news.
Sally: I'll be right over. *runs out of the room* I'll see you all later!
(Sky Patrol)
*Rotor, Bunnie, & Antoine had just finished checking the engines when Nicole appeared on a monitor*
Nicole: Guys! Guess who's awaking up.
Rotor: Thanks, Nicole. We'll be right there.
(Cream's house)
*Amy, Cream, & the two Chaos were having a tea party when Amy's holographic wristwatch went off*
Amy: Hello?
Nicole: Sorry to interrupt your tea party, but you've got to head to the hospital, now.
Amy: She's awake!?
Nicole: Yes!
Cream: Wonderful!
Amy: Ok! See you there. Cream, you grab her Chao friend.
Cream: Right away, Miss Amy.
*She ran up to her room to get Huckleberry, who was resting on her bed*
(Great Forest)
*The Chaotix had just wrapped up training when Knuckles' wristwatch rang*
Knuckles: What's up, Nicole?
Nicole: Hospital. Now. She's awake.
Vector: It's about time.
Knuckles: Maybe now we can get some answers.
*Fiona was the only one who didn't answer. She had taken off her watch for her manicure*
(New Mobotropolis Hospital)
*Slowly, she was starting to open her eyes*
Abigail: They're gone . . .
Ash: Who's she talking about?
Mina: I don't know.
*Suddenly, her eyes snapped open & she sat up with a jolt*
(Abigail's POV)
Abigail: GET AWAY!
*Taking a quick look around, I saw I was in a hospital room. Two mongooses were next to my bed. I started to get up & sat on the edge of the bed*
Mina: It's ok. You're safe now.
Abigail:*looking at her hands* I've been asleep for 4 days?
Ash: You can tell just by checking out your hands?
*I stood up, but when I saw Huck & my pendant were missing, I started to panic*
Abigail: Huck! My pendant!? Where's Huck and my pendant!? I can't loose them! Is this still a nightmare!?
*I felt myself getting tired again, I laid back down on the bed & went back to sleep*
(Third-person POV)
Ash: Ok. Either she hit her head too hard or she's still half asleep.
*Suddenly, in a burst of wind, Sonic ran into the room with the other Freedom Fighters & Chaotix right behind him. When they saw the girl, they got confused*
Sonic: I thought Nicole said she was awake.
Mina: She was. For a few seconds.
Sally: Is she ok?
Mina: I'm not sure.
Ash: She seemed out of it.
Mina: She's jumpy for some reason.
(Abigail's POV)
*At the sound of more voices, I slowly opened my eyes again*
Mina: No one's gonna hurt you. You're in New Mobotropolis.
*I slowly sat back up*
Abigail: Wh - What happened?
Knuckles: We were hoping you could tell us.
*A rabbit girl with a cyborg arm & legs sat down on the other side of me*
Bunnie: You showed up in Knothole 4 days ago.
*I put my hands on the rabbit girl's shoulders*
Abigail: Please keep him away from me. You have to keep him away, please.
*She took my hands off her shoulders*
Bunnie: Who are yah takin' about? There's nobody here but us.
*I laid back down on the bed, still groggy*
Sally: I think she's still in shock.
Mina: You were asking for Huck earlier, right? *I looked at her & nodded* Would you like to see him?
*I sat up again*
Amy: He's right here. Ta-da!
*A small rabbit girl came up to me holding Huck in her arms. He was fast asleep*
Cream: Cheese, Chocola, and I have been taking care of him.
*Huck started to wake up & the first thing he saw was me*
Huckleberry: Chao-Chao!
*He flew into my arms*
Abigail: Huck, I'm so glad your ok! I was having nightmares and thought you were gone!
Amy: And is this the necklace you were looking for? *she reached into her pocket & pulled out a white handkerchief. she unwrapped it & showed my pendant* I've been holding onto it for you.
*She handed it to me & I put it back around my neck*
Abigail: Thank you.
*Suddenly, both my stomach & Huck's started growling. We both blushed in embarrassment*
Saffron:*giggling* Sounds like someone's hungry.
?:*off-screen* Then I arrived at just the right time.
*We all looked towards the door & a brown female woodchuck with gray hair & blue eyes wearing a blue dress with yellow trim entered the room, carrying a basket. Standing behind her were 4 kids. A male brown bear with blue eyes wearing blue shorts. A female black cat with yellow eyes wearing a green vest & brown boots. A male brown tiger with blue eyes wearing a dark purple vest & white gloves. There was also a human girl (14 yrs old) with blonde hair & blue eyes wearing a red shirt, black overalls, & red shoes. I waved at them & they shyly waved back*
Rosie: I heard from Nicole that our guest had woken up. I thought she might be hungry after sleeping for 4 days, so I brought some of my homemade soup.
*She took a thermos out of the basket, poured some soup in a mug & gave me the cup*
Abigail: Thank you. *I took a sip* It's delicious.
*I gave some to Huck*
Rosie: Glad you like it, dear. There's more if you want it, so I'll leave it here.
*She left the basket on a table*
Sally: Thank you, Rosie. *Rosie & the kids left the room* Now, I believe it's time for introductions. I'm -
Abigail: Princess Sally Acorn. Leader of the Freedom Fighters. *I turned to the Freedom Fighters. one by one* Rotor Walrus. Bunnie Rabbot. Antoine D'Coolette. Miles "Tails" Prower. And of course, Sonic the Hedgehog *I paused after that* I'm afraid that's all I know off the top of my head, sorry.
Amy: It's ok. I'm Amy Rose.
Cream: My name is Cream. These are Cheese and Chocola.
Knuckles: I'm Knuckles.
Julie-su: Julie-su.
Vector: Name's Vector
Espio: Espio
Charmy: Hi. I'm Charmy.
Saffron: My name is Saffron.
Mighty: You can call me, Mighty
Ray: I-I'm Ray.
Mina: I'm Mina and this is my boyfriend, Ash.
Ash: Hi.
Amy: We have another member named Fiona, but you'll meet her later.
Abigail: Nice to see some friendly faces, after what I've been through.
Sonic: How did you know our names?
Abigail: Figures you guys wouldn't remember. It was a long time ago.
Antoine: What do you mean?
*I turned to Sonic*
Abigail: You saved mine and my best friend's lives once. When my village was attacked by an army of Swatbots.
(Flashback - 7 years ago - Third-Person POV)
*A village was on fire & there were Swatbots everywhere. Most of the Mobians living there had managed to escape. Sonic (8 yrs old) was running through the burning village, looking for anyone who needed help*
?:*off-screen* Help! Somebody, please help us!
*He turned & saw two Mobian girls surrounded by Swatbots. One was a orange cat with peach skin, her hair in a high ponytail, & blue eyes (7 yrs old) wearing blue overalls over a green hoodie, white gloves & sneakers. Next to her was a white rabbit with peach skin & brown eyes (7 yrs old) wearing a pink & white dress with black Mary Jane's, & pink bows in her pigtails. Both were dirty & looked very scared. The rabbit was crying & the cat was holding a blue & white stuffed rabbit with yellow button eyes in her arms that looked ripped & dirty (look up "6 Years Old" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt"). Sonic ran over, destroyed the Swatbots, & scooped both girls up in his arms*
Sonic: Welcome aboard the Hedgehog express. *he ran until they came to the woods just outside the village where most of the villagers had fled for safety. he came to a screeching halt when he saw the group of people gathered around a lake in a clearing. the Freedom Fighters were with them* Last stop. Everybody off.
*He set the girls down*
Abigail:*blushing* T-Thank you.
Robert:*off-screen* Abigail!
Peter:*off-screen* Lacey!
*They turned around & saw 2 grown up men (a cat & a rabbit) running towards them*
Abigail & Lacey: Daddy!
*Each girl ran into her Father's arms. All 4 had tears in their eyes*
Robert: How could you run off like that!? You almost scared me and your Mother to death!
Abigail: I'm sorry.
Robert: I don't know what we would have done if we ever lost you. You're our whole world.
*The Freedom Fighters watched the scene with sadness & a little bit of jealously. Especially Sally*
(Present Time - Abigail's POV)
Abigail: I've never forgotten that day. I never did get to say thank you. You guys inspired me to become stronger, so I can protect my home and the people I love.
Sonic: Hey no problem. It's what we do.
Abigail: I never thought I'd get to see you all again, especially since my life for the past 2 years has been a living nightmare
Sally: Why don't you start from the beginning. How did you get hurt & how did you end up in Knothole.
Abigail: Well, I guess this whole thing started 2 years ago on my 13th birthday. My hometown is a small village in Mercia, just north of the Kingdom of Snottingham. It started out as any other birthday. Cake, presents, a party with my friends and family. My Mom had just given me a very special present when suddenly, out of nowhere and without warning, the village was attacked by an army of Egg Soldiers.
Mighty: Why? Were they after something?
Abigail: I don't know. Many of the villagers ran away, but I fought back.
Julie-Su: Wait! Wait! Wait! You fought an entire army of Egg Soldiers all by yourself?
Abigail: Well . . . Yeah.
Julie-su: Wow! You're either the bravest girl I ever met or the craziest.
Abigail: Thanks, I think. Anyway, there were too many and eventually I was overpowered and taken to the Egg Boss, Mordred Hood. He told me that he was impressed by my skills and he said he could use my skills in his army, so he offered me a proposition. When I refused, he took my family and best friend, along with her family, hostage. He promised me if I followed orders, no harm would come to them. And so I've been doing his dirty work for 2 years.
Vector: Wow. You've had it rough.
Abigail: Yeah, I know. But even though my hands were tied, I knew that I still had to keep fighting. Whenever I was alone, I would go onto the Eggnet & look up any information I could find that would be useful to the Mercia Freedom Fighters. Weapon plans, battle strategies, stuff like that. I'd download it onto a flash drive and leave it in a secret spot at the edge of Deerwood Forest. I even sent them a message telling them where to find the secret spot. Without showing my face, of course.
Amy: You go, girl.
Abigail: Those 2 years weren't a total loss. I met Huck while on a scouting mission and we've been inseparable ever since.
*Huck nuzzled my cheek*
Saffron: That's so sweet.
Abigail: It wasn't until one night that my luck finally ran out. One of the guards caught me downloading very important information from the Eggnet. That was when I knew that I had to get my family & friends out of there and get them to Hideaway in Deerwood Forest. I managed to free my best friend and her family, but I was too late to get to my own. Mordred me called to the cliffs behind Snottingham castle, where he had my family at gunpoint. He had also caught my best friend and her family while they were trying to escape. I gave him the flash drive, but I got hit with lasers and fell from one of the cliffs. He probably thinks I didn't survive the fall.
Mina: Is he still holding your family prisoner?
Abigail: Yeah. And I'm scared that he's doing something terrible to them. *I started crying* And they're counting on me . . . to . . . save them . . . but . . . I don't know . . . how I'm gonna . . .
Bunnie: Come here, Sugar.
*She wrapped her arms around me & let me cry on her shoulder. Sally came up & put her hand on my own*
Sally: We'll do whatever it takes to help you, Abby.
Tails: You bet we will.
*I lifted my face from Bunnie's shoulder*
Abigail: R - Really? You will?
Knuckles: You can count on it!
Sonic: That's right! We're gonna save your family and friends!
Abigail: Thank you. Thank you all so much
