-Chapter 88-
Cry of the Wolf
Misty Peaks
On the top of the Great Canyon sat the Misty Peaks, a sleepy little village of little note... until now. As an older Mobian manx and his daughter sat out, watching the stars, they saw a flaming sphere fall from the sky, flying over their heads and impacting just outside their home with a bang.
"Father, what was that?" the younger manx asked.
"I don't know, Tiara," her father replied. "We better make sure nothing was damaged.
They hurried over to the impact site, where they were greeted by a sight like nothing they had ever seen. In the crater, still smoldering, was a cluster of silver-colored Chaos Emeralds, partially encased in what appeared to be moon rock.
"My word…" the father managed.
"Father, what are those?" Tiara questioned.
"I'm not sure. Chaos Emeralds?"
"More like... Moon Emeralds. I've never seen anything like it."
"Be careful," the father warned.
Tiara went into the house, coming back with a pair of tongs and a wheelbarrow and carefully placing each Emerald inside. The two took the Emeralds into their basement, an underground cavern containing a Lake of Rings, just as the glowing circle of a Power Ring was emerging.
"Is it that time already?" Tiara asked.
"Grab it," her father ordered.
Tiara reached out and did so. It was at that moment the Moon Emeralds began to glow, as if reacting to the ring.
"Look!" Tiara's father exclaimed, pointing.
Tiara's eyes widened as she saw the glowing Emeralds. "They're reacting. Do you know what this means?"
"I believe I do," her father replied. "Let's take them to the forge."
They took the Ring and Emeralds to a workshop outside of their house, in which sat an anvil, a hammer, a hearth, and several capsules containing various forms of Power Rings.
"Are you sure this will work?" Tiara asked.
"I'm not certain of anything at the moment. But I will be."
They gathered pails of water, using them to cool down the Moon Emeralds before Tiara picked one up, placing it in a recess next to the anvil. With that, her father took the ring and picked up his hammer, pounding away at the Ring. It sparked and glowed, Tiara watching the process with bated breath. Eventually, the Emerald stopped glowing, and Gazebo looked over the ring. It had turned a silver color, with a matching crescent moon in the middle that connected to the inner rim.
"Amazing…" Tiara's father managed.
"A moon ring…" Tiara remarked in awe.
"The Silver Moon Ring…" Tiara's father decided. "That's what we'll call it. We could change the world with this."
-X-
Meanwhile, Robotnik was flying toward the Great Canyon in the Egg Mobile, a battalion of Badniks by his side. He looked at the radar, seeing the energy signature of the meteorite.
"The readings have changed," he mused. "Odd… it's quite similar to the Red Star Rings Agatha and Metal were talking about on Isolated Island."
He smirked. "Well, perhaps I'll have better luck than he did."
-X-
As Tiara and her father looked over the ring, Tiara perked, hearing what sounded like an engine approaching.
"Father… do you hear that?" she asked.
Her father nodded. "I do."
They exited, stiffening as they saw a slew of Badniks approaching, alongside the Egg Mobile. Tiara gasped in horror, recognizing the man in the hovercraft.
"It's him!" she cried.
"Robotnik!" her father exclaimed.
"Finally, I've met someone who doesn't use that horrible moniker," Robotnik looked Tiara's father up and down, recognition eventually dawning. "Ah yes, Gazebo Boobowski. My old colleague Nate Morgan spoke of you on and off."
"You are not welcome here," Gazebo spat. "Why have you come?"
"I got a unique energy reading from an incoming meteorite that fell down in this general area," Robotnik explained.
Gazebo narrowed his eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes, Gazebo," Robotnik warned. "My machines don't lie."
"Tiara, take the ring and run," Gazebo ordered.
"But-" Tiara began.
"Go!" Gazebo snapped. "Now!"
He shoved the Silver Moon Ring into his hand, and Tiara took off running after a brief hesitation.
"So you do know something!" Robotnik declared.
"And you'll never know what!" Gazebo swore. "This I swear!"
Robotnik scowled, pressing several buttons on his glove controller. Gazebo was surrounded by Badniks, while a separate squadron pursued the fleeing Tiara. She clutched the Silver Moon Ring tightly to her chest, never stopping to look back. She could hear them closing in, but pressed on. However, she soon found herself stuck in a dead end. Tiara gasped, looking around, only to find the Badniks there, slowly and menacingly moving toward her. She backed up against the wall, looking away and closing her eyes.
"Somebody, please help me…" she pleaded quietly.
It was at that moment she heard the caw of an owl. She looked up just in time to see a pair of talons snatch her up by the arms. Tiara let out a scream as she was suddenly airborne. Once they were a safe distance away, she was set down on the ground, turning to face her savior.
"Oh, thank you…" she sighed. "I thought for sure I was done for."
Her savior, none other than Longclaw, gave her a warm smile.
"Think nothing of it, child," she assured. "I'm just glad I was there when I was."
Tiara returned the smile, before perking.
"My father!" she cried. "He's still back there with Robotnik! We have to go back!"
"That would be ill-advised," Longclaw warned. "We would be outnumbered and we have no plan."
"We can't just leave him!" Tiara objected.
"And we're not," Longclaw promised. "I know just the man who can help you. And that man... is a hedgehog."
Knothole
In Freedom HQ, the members of the Brain Trust were in the lab, going about various endeavors. Hope was looking over the Flame Shield schematics Tails had provided her.
"This is incredible," she mused. "I wonder if the concept would work for electricity... Or maybe thunder. I'll have to look into that."
She grabbed a notepad and began working out the math. Off to the side, Rotor and Porker were working on an invention of their own: a suit of powered battle armor colored in different shades of yellow, blue, black, and white.
"Using Eggatha's notes and schematics before turning them over to GUN was the best idea I've had so far," Rotor said.
"Agreed," Porker remarked. "But we'll need to run some serious tests before you even think of putting it on."
"I'm well aware of that," Rotor assured him.
As this was going on, Chris, Keith, and Tekno were going over her Megatal research.
"We've gone over every possibility, and nothing," Keith sighed. "At least, nothing that wouldn't risk killing Shorty in the process."
"Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way," Tekno theorized. "We've focused on breaking the Megatal. But what about the suit itself?"
"What about it?" Chris asked.
"What if… we hacked the suit itself?"
Chris and Keith exchanged glances.
"Hacked the suit?" Keith repeated.
"It could work," Chris said. "I mean, it's still a suit. A machine with circuits and programming. And if there's programming…"
"There's hackability!" Keith realized.
"Exactly," Tekno nodded. "Instead of destroying the suit outright, we can hack it and open it up to get Shorty out."
"A patch code should do the trick," Keith deduced. "It'll take some time, but we're finally onto something here."
"At least we finally have a plan," Tekno agreed. "You may feel fresh air soon, Shorty."
Last but not least was Tails, who was in his own section of the lab working out ideas for tuning up the Tornado and Freedom Fighter Special. He was on his back in oil-stained overalls. He looked everything over, nodded, and pulled out.
"That oughta do it," he declared, slipping out of his coveralls and wiping his hands on a rag. "Time for some food and a shower."
Once they were done with their respective experiments, the Brain Trust met up with the others in the living room, kicking back when Nicole suddenly materialized.
"Incoming call from King Max," she reported. "It seems someone wants to see Sonic at Castle Acorn."
"Really?" Rotor asked. "Who?"
"A manx named Tiara," Nicole answered. "And Longclaw."
Sonic perked. "Longclaw's back in town?"
"It would appear so," Nicole confirmed.
"Luckily, I just finished the Special," Tails remarked. "We can head off immediately."
Mobotropolis
Outside of Castle Acorn, Longclaw and Tiara waited with Sally's parents. They looked up in time to see the Special flying in. As it landed, Sonic was the first one out, giving Longclaw a hug.
"Long time no see," he greeted.
"It's good to see you as well," Longclaw replied as they pulled away. She noted his black clothing, raising a feathered eyebrow. "Not the attire I would expect from you, Sonic."
"It's been a tough ride," Sonic admitted sheepishly. "But enough about me. Where've you been all this time, Longclaw?"
"I've been going around the world, helping Robotnik's victims and doing what I can to undermine him," Longclaw replied. "That, and trying to find a way to save Charles."
She shuffled her claws slightly as she said that. Sonic glanced down, seeing several leather straps surrounding her talons.
"You gonna tell me what those are about?" he asked.
Longclaw sighed. She then lifted one of her talons and pecked at the leather with her beak. It fell away, revealing cracks all across her feet and up her leg. Her talons were deformed and jagged. Sonic stiffened, recognizing the wounds for what they were before turning to Keith.
"Ring me," he ordered.
Keith handed one over immediately, and Sonic held the ring over, letting its power flow over Longclaw's feet. She seemed to shudder in relief, her claws retracting to normal.
"I've been seeing healers about them for months now," she explained. "But I'd completely forgotten about the healing nature of Power Rings."
With that, Sonic turned to Tiara, taking in her appearance. She had orange fur, blue eyes, and long brown hair tied in a ponytail with a yellow ribbon. She also wore a red tanktop with yellow trim, a matching skirt with shorts underneath, white gloves with red cuffs, and red and white sneakers similar to Amy's boots, but with yellow socks.
"You must be Tiara," he noted.
"That's me," she confirmed. "Longclaw saved me when Robotnik attacked our home. He was after the meteor that crashed near our home, and what it contained."
Tails blinked in confusion. "Eggman attacked your home for a rock?"
"No, not just any rock," Tiara clarified, reaching into her skirt and pulling out a single silver Emerald. "Moon Emeralds."
The Freedom Fighters looked over the Emerald in her hand.
"Looks just like a normal Chaos Emerald to me," Keith said.
"It could be, but it fell from space. Judging by the lunar rocks that were encasing them, they came from the Moon," Tiara explained.
"Thus, Moon Emeralds," Porker deduced.
"That's not all," Tiara went on. "They react to Power Rings, and when my father used it in his forge, he made this."
She showed them the Silver Moon Ring. They looked it over in awe, before Chris perked.
"Did you say forge?" he asked.
"Yes," Tiara nodded. "Maybe I should start at the beginning. As you know, Power Rings are natural byproducts of the Chaos Emeralds, and the Ancients are the ones who devised the idea of producing them artificially. This, the ancient art of Ring smithing, is what led to the research and development Nate Morgan and Laura Kent have put much of their life's work into. The original techniques are mostly lost; as of today, only my father and myself still practice the traditional arts."
"And you officially have my full and undivided attention," Keith declared.
"Your father, where is he?" Sonic asked.
"In the hands of Robotnik, I fear," Longclaw sighed. "I was too late to save them both."
"So that's why you brought her here," Sonic deduced.
"He's going to try and force my father to forge him new Moon Rings," Tiara told them. "Please, we have to save him."
"We will," Tails promised. "Where do we have to go?"
"The Great Canyon of Northamer," Longclaw replied. "The surrounding Zones will no doubt be Dr. Robotnik's next target."
"Then that's where we're headed," Sonic decided. "Feel like coming with us, Longclaw?"
"Of course," Longclaw answered. "I have friends in the Thunder Plains Zone bordering the canyon who will be more than willing to help."
Tails stiffened. "Did you say… Thunder Plains?"
"Yes," Longclaw nodded. "I didn't misspeak."
After a minute, Tails let out a soft, "Oh no…"
Sometime later, everyone, including Longclaw and Tiara were on the Special, heading for the Canyon. Tails was on edge, visibly dreading the ride.
"What's wrong, Tails?" Hope asked, confused. "Why are you dreading going to the Thunder Plains? Are you... afraid of lightning?"
"Afraid of lightning?" Tails repeated defensively. "Who, me?"
"Dude, you've faced down deadly robots and monsters, but Lightning scares you?" Sonic asked. "You're kidding."
"Real hollow words coming from the guy who's a deer in the headlights every time he's faced with water." Tails shot back.
"Hey, I almost drowned as a kid," Sonic defended. "I have a valid reason for my aquaphobia."
"And I have a valid reason for my astraphobia," Tails retorted, sighing. "When I was really little, I got lost during a big storm. I remember lighting and thunder all around me. It was overwhelming, and that along with being alone and afraid… well, you get the picture."
Sonic winced. "Sorry."
"Yeah," Tails slumped in his seat. "So, Thunder Plains doesn't exactly appeal. Especially since, from what I've heard, it hardly ever stops storming there."
"Hey, it'll be alright," Sonic assured. "I promise. You help me when I'm near water, so I'll help you with Thunder Plains. If you can't count on your best buddy to help you face your fears, what kinda best buddy are they?"
Tails smiled before noticing Longclaw approaching.
"I'm sorry, Tails," the owl told him. "Can I borrow Sonic for a moment?"
"Sure," Tails nodded.
Sonic went into a back room with Longclaw, taking a seat.
"You wanna know all I've been through since you've been away, don't you?" he asked.
Longclaw managed a chuckle. "You know me so well."
Sonic sighed. "I was in a low spot. Really low. And… I went dark again."
Longclaw looked at him in concern, and at his urging, Sonic told her everything he'd been through since he'd seen her last. The fate of Kat's hometown, both Death Egg incidents, the mess with Metamorphia... he left out no detail.
"...So, yeah," Sonic concluded. "I've been taking therapy for the past month or so."
He suddenly found himself wrapped in a feathery hug.
"Oh, Sonic…" Longclaw sighed. "I should have been there for you. I should have never left your side."
"I had my friends," Sonic assured her. "They helped me pull through, get through the tough times. I'm doing better than before, Longclaw. I promise you that."
"Good," Longclaw nodded. "And don't let my previous injuries affect you, Sonic. I was in no danger. I went to the best healers I could find to keep the corruption from progressing."
"Still, I hurt you," Sonic sighed. "Eggman lost an arm, Kat still has scars on her arms and stomach and you…"
"No," Longclaw cut in. "Don't do that to yourself. It wasn't your fault."
"Still feels like it was…" Sonic grumbled.
Knowing words would do little to sway him, Longclaw just pulled her wings tighter around him. After a minute, Sonic sighed.
"Sorry. Still working on getting over my guilt complex. Not as easy as Dr. Sorders made it sound."
"Healing in all forms takes time. Don't give up hope."
Thunder Plains
Eventually, the Special touched down in the Thunder Plains, a wide-open grassland with dark clouds that obstructed the skies. Almost as soon as they got off the plane, lightning flashed and thunder boomed. Tails let out a yelp of fear and jumped into the arms of the person closest to him, who just happened to be Kat. He shivered, before realizing where he was and chuckling nervously.
"Uh... hi, Kat. Have I ever told you how strong your arms are?"
Kat just dropped him as the others turned to her, shocked by her presence.
"Kat!" Keith exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was napping in one of the storage closets until I realized we had taken off. By the time I got untangled from all the gear, we were here."
"And why were you napping in the storage closet?" Chris asked.
"Because I was hiding and got bored. See, if Knuckles found me, he'd take me back to Angel Island for training with Locke, and yesterday he called me a…" She trailed off. "Well, it doesn't matter what he called me."
Sonic's face darkened. "Requesting permission to kill."
"Denied," everyone told him.
Sonic shrugged. "Well, now that you're here, I guess you can help us out with the mission."
"Works for me," Kat saw Longclaw and Tiara, giving a two-fingered salute. "Kat Winters of the Knuckles Clan. Guardian-in-training and resident loose cannon at your service."
"Well, if we're introducing ourselves in that matter, I'm Longclaw of the Court of Owls." Longclaw replied.
"Tiara Boobowski," Tiara introduced.
Kat nodded. "Pleasure."
"Well, now that intros are out of the way, where are these friends you mentioned, Longclaw?" Rotor asked.
Longclaw jerked her head in a "come on" gesture. "Follow me."
As they walked, the group brought Kat up to speed on the situation.
"So these things are basically Eggman trying to get the Red Star Rings again," Kat sighed. "Great."
Eventually, they came across a rather simplistic village, tipis erected here and there. Throughout the area, Mobian wolves went about their business.
"This is the Wolf Pack, a sect of Freedom Fighters that were founded not too long after the Angel Island incident," Longclaw explained. "Their leader, Lupe, is a close friend of mine."
"Another faction," Sonic smiled. "The more the merrier. Let's go say hi."
They walked into the village, several of the wolves bowing in greeting to them all. Longclaw led them to the main hut, where they saw two wolf pups, along with two young human girls, playing with an older female wolf with gray fur in a blue dress, clearly the leader of the pack. One of the human girls, a redhead, saw them, tugging on the pack leader's skirt and pointing. The leader turned, seeing the group and smiling.
"Longclaw, my old friend!" she greeted happily.
"Lupe!" Longclaw smiled.
The two women grasped forearms and shook before embracing. Lupe turned, seeing the group and smiling at the sight of Sonic.
"Last time I saw you, you were a little boy on Jules' knee," she recalled.
Sonic blinked "You know my dad?"
"Lupe aided me, your father, and uncle during the Great War," Longclaw explained. "Helped us out of a tough spot during the Battle of the Baronies (1)."
"Here, let me introduce you to my family." Lupe gathered up the four children, the red head shyly hiding behind her blonde companion. "The pups here are Marcos and Maria. The girls here are Aerial and Athena."
"They're… human?" Rotor let out.
"Yes," Lupe nodded. "I found them as babies during the war."
"So you're the Sonic we've heard so much about," Aerial, the blonde girl, spoke up. "It's nice to meet you.
"Same to you," Sonic replied as he turned to Athena. "What's the matter, squirt? Cat got your tongue?"
Athena shook her head, baring her throat and making an X-sign across her voice box with one finger.
"Oh... you can't talk. My bad."
Athena waved dismissively.
"As far as we can tell, Athena was born a mute," Lupe explained. "We've been teaching her sign language."
Kat looks at the girls, a surprised expression on her face
"You're like me…"
"What do you mean?" Marcos asked.
"I lost my family awhile back, and was taken in by the Knuckles Echidna Clan."
"We never knew our human parents," Aerial told her. "We've been raised as part of the Wolf Pack as long as we can remember."
"And they're all the better for it," Lupe patted Aerial's head. "As good as it is to see you, Longclaw, I doubt this is a social call."
"Sadly, no," Longclaw confirmed.
Thunder boomed, and Tails yelped, darting over and cowering beneath Sonic's legs.
"C-could we take this conversation inside, please?" he stammered.
The four wolf children snickered as Lupe chuckled herself.
"Absolutely," said the wolf leader. "Let's take this inside."
As they sat down, they explained the situation, Tiara showing them the Silver Moon Ring her father forged before Robotnik's coming.
"I see," Lupe noted. "This is dire indeed."
She stood up. "Well, I can hardly let Robotnik's actions be ignored, especially this close to my home. You'll have the full support of the Wolf Pack."
"Your help is greatly appreciated, Lupe," Longclaw said gratefully. "Thank you."
It was at that moment they heard a loud howl, and everyone was instantly at attention.
"The alarm!" Lupe exclaimed. "Something's coming!"
She grabbed a spear from the corner, while the Knothole group hurried out, hearing a familiar laugh as Robotnik came flying in on the Egg Mobile.
"Ah, Sonic," he greeted. "Here you are, inconvenient as always."
"Just trying to be dependable," Sonic retorted.
"Robotnik, you are not welcome here!" Longclaw declared.
"Leave these lands while we still allow it!" Lupe ordered.
"Not until I claim what I'm after," Robotnik shot back.
Tiara was cowering slightly. Kat and Sonic both stepped between Robotnik and her. Longclaw even extended a wing to cover her.
"Well, this is a happy day for me. I can destroy you, and get Lupe's Wolf Pack in the bargain," Robotnik grinned. "Prepare to meet your end at the hands of my newest Badnik: Burnbot!"
At that moment, a short, squat red robot on wheels came rolling in at high speed, glaring at the group with blue optics.
"So, what?" Sonic asked. "He's gonna burn us with flamethrowers or something?"
Robotnik blinked. "F-Flamethrowers? Well, no—"
"Maybe acid?" Porker offered.
"Incendiary grenades?" Hope guessed.
"No, you idiots!" Robotnik snapped, annoyed. "Claws! He has claws! Very painful claws!"
Burnbot raised his arms, snapping razor-sharp metal pincers for hands together for emphasis.
"Seriously?" Sonic questioned. "Then you should have called him 'Clawbot' or 'The Lacerator' or 'Pinch-a-tron 9000.' But 'Burnbot'? I mean, that's just false advertising."
"Oh, shut up," Robotnik snarled. "I made the robot! I can name it whatever I want!"
Kat snorted. "Oh Aurora… what are you, in pre-k?"
"Only if the 'k' stands for kill," Robotnik replied. "And as a reward for your little quip, you die first. Burnbot, kill her."
Burnbot raised one of its claws, its arms extending. Kat threw herself to the ground a split second before she would have been beheaded.
"So it's gonna be like that," she growled.
"Tails, you and the rest of the Brain Trust get the village to safety," Sonic ordered. "Kat, you and I will deal with Beheaderbot."
"It's Burnbot!" Robotnik shouted.
"Soon it'll be Brokebot!" Sonic retorted.
The Brain Trust got to work helping the villagers, while Burnbot charged at Sonic and Kat, the two spreading out to give him multiple targets. The bot fired its arm again, its claws retracting and becoming buzzsaws. Sonic ducked, feeling the saw graze the top of his head and shave off a few strands of fur.
"Hey, do I look like I need a haircut?" he quipped.
Kat dove for the legs, grabbing one and trying to rip it off. This proved to be a difficult task, as Burnbot kept snapping his claws at her, forcing her to duck and pull back to avoid getting sliced.
"Damn it!" she cursed. "I can't stay near Scissorhands long enough to do any real damage! Not without losing a limb, and I kinda like them."
"Keep him busy!" Sonic insisted. "Leave the dismantling to me!"
Kat nodded. At that, she kept moving to avoid Burnbot's attacks as Sonic continued to Spin Attack it. She looked around for anything to use as a weapon, eventually hitting paydirt in the form of a discarded stone club.
"Thank you, Aurora!" Kat snagged the club, turning it in her hand and smirking. "Hey, you walking scrap heap! Come and get me!"
Burnbot turned to her at that, revving his wheels with a screech before charging at her. She got into a wrestler's stance, strengthening her lower body and waiting. When it got close, she jumped over the bot and brought the club down as hard as she could on its head. The head sparked as the bot staggered around. Kat landed, turning to Sonic.
"He's all yours," she told him.
Sonic smirked as he charged up a Spin Dash, darting right through Burnbot. The bot seized up before dropping, a gaping hole through its torso. Sonic landed, he and Kat sharing a high five. Robotnik sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Always something…" he muttered before pointing at the Freedom Fighters. "Enjoy your little victory, Sonic! Once I uncover the secret of old man Gazebo's Silver Moon Rings, I'll bring Mobius to its knees!"
He flew off at that, laughing. The kids slowly came out, Aerial scoffing before putting on a deep voice, clearly mocking Robotnik.
"I'll be back, Sonic! With a new robot! Who has an accurate name! And super laser eyes! And it'll feed me ham! Eeeeevil ham..."
Athena laughed happily in response.
"Any idea where he's heading?" Tekno asked.
"From his current path, I'd say he's headed for the Stone Stormlands," Lupe answered. "The Zone neighboring this one."
"Then that's where we're headed," Sonic decided. "Tiara, if you want to stay here in the village, you can. I know Lupe will keep you safe."
"I want to come with you, Sonic," Tiara insisted. "My father's life is on the line. This is my fight too."
"Absolutely not," Longclaw said sternly. "Your father would want you to stay safe. And someone needs to watch over the Moon Ring."
"But-" Tiara began.
"Child, as a mother myself, I know Longclaw speaks the truth," Lupe cut in. "Stay here. We will protect you."
Tiara seemed conflicted over it, but eventually sighed. "Alright."
"Don't worry," Porker assured. "We'll bring your dad back safe and sound. We promise."
"Alright," said Tails. "Next stop, Stone Stormlands."
Another lightning strike hit at that. Barring a brief twitch of his eyelid, Tails' expression didn't change one bit.
"Right after we swing back to Knothole so I can pick up a clean pair of shorts." he tacked on calmly.
"C'mon, chicken butt," Kat chided, pushing Tails forward.
Sonic rolled his eyes as they headed out.
Author's Note:
(1): Basically, think like a Mobian Battle of Gettysburg.
The next arc takes cues from the cancelled Sega Saturn game Sonic X-treme. Gazebo and Tiara are both from it, as is the whole "art of Ring smithing"; I altered it to fit in with the universe I established so far, with the Ancients and all. The Silver Moon Rings are based on collectibles of the same name from Forces, whereas the Moon Emeralds are adapted from an emerald of the same name featured in the Archie Sonic X comic. Lupe, the Wolf Pack, and her children all come from Archie and/or SatAM.
