(Abigail's POV)

*It's already been 2 week since Mammoth Mogul attacked & Sir Connery passed away. Hope decided to leave Knotehole, go to G.U.N & offer them her technical skills. Not because she was taking Snively's advice, but because she really did want to see the world outside of Knotehole & New Mobotropolis. We got a letter from her 2 days ago saying that she had actually managed to impress G.U.N's top Commander & was working at their headquarters in Central City. We were all very proud of her. "Tails' Uncle Merlin talked to my Mom about my necklace & the powers it gave me. I didn't hear the whole conversation, but I think they had a bit of an argument. Finally, they came to a compromise. Mom would tell Merlin everything she knew about the necklace & in exchange, he would help me control my visions so I could see them without getting a headache & maybe summon them at will. Training with him has mostly been meditating. He told me that if I clear my mind, it might be easier for me to control my visions. "Today had started out like a quiet day, until a Warp Ring appeared in the sky over Freedom HQ & Rouge the Bat came out. She said that she needed our help. After that, Fiona offered to tell us everything she knew about Rouge. Mighty, Ray, & Espio took notes. Sonic & Sally went to get some answers. An hour later, the rest of the Chaotix had Rouge in the same room & were asking her questions. Huck & I decided to listen through the door*

Vector: All right then, lady. Let's take it from the top.

Rouge: Is this how you treat everyone who comes in looking for help?

Vector: Only those with a reputation like yours.

Rouge: You're the head of the Chaotix, right? I'm sure you could make all this go away.

Knuckles: Not likely.

Vector: According to Sonic, Tails, & Abby, you popped out of a Warp Ring right outside Freedom HQ.

Rouge: Nack wouldn't led me his Marvelous Queen. A girl has to get around somehow.

*Nack escaped from prison the same day Mammoth Mogul had attacked*

Julie-Su: Warp Ring technology is exclusive to Angel Island. How did you get one?

Rouge: Why should I tell you?

Knuckles: You came to us for protection. We can't do anything until we know what we're up against.

Rouge: Clever. It's nice to see that the lamp isn't the only bright thing in the room.

Vector: Maybe you'd like a security lamp for your own cell?

Rouge: The Kingdom of Acorn has taken to imprisoning the innocent!?

Vector: Innocent she says. As soon as you showed up, someone stepped forward to give us some dirt on you.

Rouge: Who?

Vector: Fiona. *he told her everything Fiona told the others* Working for the President of Station Square might be one thing, but there's plenty of others looking for you.

Rouge: Fine. I'll fill you in from when I was last here. Deal?

Vector: Deal.

Rouge: Scourge and I escaped via Warp Ring. It was sent by a madman named Dr. Finitevus. He wanted our help in return for the rescue. We helped him break into Robotnik's Egg Vineyard. It turns out he had a lot of your enemies captured. Half of them were already dead. Doctor Finitevus rescued what was left of the Destrucix. Since Mammoth Mogul had deserted them, they joined us. Finitevus brought us back to a base guarded by some ancient robot called Issac. He wanted to steal Isaac's data. But most of it was corrupt or erroneous. I mean, it was guarding a frozen corpse. Can a robot go insane? Anyway, Finitevus was looking to control dozens of ancient missiles. When I found out he was planning on using them, I ruined all of them. He didn't like that. So I stole one of his Warp Rings and came here. See? I can be a good girl.

Knuckles: Were you followed?

Rouge: Probably.

*As soon as she said that, the usual serge went through my body & an image flashed before my eyes*

(Vision - Third-Person POV)

*Sleuth Dawg was holding Tails by his 2 tails & had a gun pointed at his head. Sonic, Sally, & Fiona were standing in front of him*

Sonic: Sleuth! I don't know how you escaped prison, but if you don't let Tails go right now, I'll - HURK!

*Suddenly, a green streak zoomed in & tackled Sonic. It was Scourge*

Scourge: Ready for act two, wimp?

Sonic: Anytime, punk!

*The 2 of them dashed into the woods. Sally ran after them to make sure Sonic was okay*

Sleuth Dawg: I told him to hold back . . .

Fiona: You can let go of the kid. What do you want?

Sleuth Dawg: I'm here for a traitor . . . And something she stole.

Fiona: This coming from the guy who sold the Freedom Fighters out to Robotnik.

Sleuth Dawg: I'm sure Sonic told you all sorts of things. But did you tell him why it's so ironic for you to call me traitor?

*Meanwhile, in the Great Forest, Sonic & Scourge raced each other to the top of a tree. Sally stood at the bottom & watched from there. Sonic kicked Scourge in the face*

Sonic: Not that I'm not glad to kick your butt, but what's the occasion, Scourge?

*Scourge landed on another tree nearby & catapulted at Sonic, punching him in the face*

Scourge: First, a little revenge now that you don't have a shadow to hide behind! *he then knocked Sonic to the bottom of the tree* Second, I wanted to see my girlfriend again. I love how she plays you all like you're best friends.

(Reality - Abigail's POV)

*As soon as my vision ended, ignoring my coming headache, I burst into the interrogation room, making everyone jump (including Huck)*

Abigail: Rouge!

Knuckles: Abby! Were you listening outside the door?

Abigail: That's not important right now! *to Rouge* I need that Warp Ring you have, now!

*Rouge gave me a weird look & pulled out the ring*

Rouge: Okay . . . But why?

Abigail: The Destructix are here right now & they're here for the Warp Ring!

*I snatched the ring out of her hand & ran out of the room, Huck flying after me*

(Third-Person POV)

Julie-Su: Five rings says she she had another vision?

Knuckles: I'll bet ten.

Rouge: Vision?

Vector: Sorry, that's classified information.

(Abigail's POV)

*I ran outside to find Fiona talking to Sleuth, who still had Tails at gun point. Huck landed on my shoulder*

Sleuth Dawg: . . . Why it's so ironic for you to call me a traitor?

Abigail: Ahem! *all 3 of them turned to me as I held up the Warp Ring* I believe this is what you want?

Sleuth Dawg: That's one thing. Where's Rouge?

Abigail: Being questioned by the Chaotix. I took the ring from her. I'll give this to you, but only if you and Scourge leave.

Huck: Chao-Chao.

*Sleuth thought for a minute then let go of Tails, who ran over to me & hugged me*

Sleuth Dawg: Fair deal.

*I tossed him the Warp Ring & then all 4 of us went into the Great Forest to find Sonic, Sally, & Scourge. When we found them, Sonic had Scourge by the collar of his jacket*

Scourge: You just keep losing friends, blue.

Sonic: At least I have friends, green!

Abigail: Sonic! It's over. We made a deal.

Huck: Chao.

Sonic & Sally: Deal?

Abigail: I told Sleuth the Chaotix were questioning Rouge. I also gave Sleuth the Warp Ring. In exchange, he and Scourge will leave.

Sleuth Dawg: I gave my word for hers. Don't make her a liar, Sonic.

*Sonic looked like he was about to argue, but Sally put a hand on his shoulder & shook her head. So he just crossed his arms & scowled*

Sonic: Just beat it.

Sleuth Dawg: With pleasure.

Scourge:*winking at Fiona* Later, sweet thing. *he then winked at me* You too, Kitten.

*I just glared at him as he & Sleuth went through the Warp Ring. Fiona then sent me a glare, but I just glared back*

Sally: Are you okay, Tails?

Tails: Yeah, I'm okay, Aunt Sally. Sorry, Sonic.

Sonic: It's cool.

Fiona: Sonic . . . Whatever Scourge told you was a lie.

*Tails started to walk away as we all looked at her suspiciously*

Sonic: It's cool, Fiona . . . *he then took Sally by the hand* Let's go home.

*We all started back home. Fiona & I each gave each other a look that said "I'm watching you"*
