							-Marcus V. Pepin aka "Sonic"

					Currently, Sonic is being smothered in kisses from Sally. Her way of saying, "Thank you for saving my life!" Sonic lets her mop his mouth with her toungue. Then, an important thought crosses Sally's mind. She pulls away and tells Sonic "Oh shit! I almost forgot that we have to move Knothole! We better get moving now!" "Right. Let's go." The two Mobians walk out the door and begin to walk to the Communications Center that is connected to the War Room. Sally opens the door and walks in, Sonic right behind her. He closes the door and looks up. He watches Sally grab a megaphone and stroll back to the door. He opens the door and lets Sally pass. She thanks him as he closes the door outside. Sonic walks over to the War Room and stands in front of it. Sally walks to the middle of Knothole, turns on the megaphone and begins to talk into it. "Attention Freedom Fighters! There will be a meeting in the War Room immeadiatly! That is all." She looks down at the megaphone and turns it off. She begins to run over to Sonic when she trips and falls. She tripped on a hidden rock that was on the ground. Sonic watches this and swiftly gets to her. "You all right?" "Yes, I am okay, just my pride was shot." She coughs and stands up. She wipes the dirt off of her as she walks with Sonic. "I think I scraped my knee" She looks down at her right knee, noticing that it is badly scratched, has some fur missing and is bleeding a little. "I think you should have a band aid. I'll be right back." He zips off towards Dr. Quack's hut and gets a bandage out of his first aid kit. He goes back to Sally in a flash and says, "Are you still alive?" "I don't know. What do you think?" Sonic kneels, opens the band aid says, "It seems my attitude is rubbing off onto you. Man, you scraped it really well. It looks like there is a hole in your knee, but I can't really tell, it's to dark." and begins to put it on. Sally bites her lip as her knee stings from the pressure given from Sonic. He finishes putting the bandaid on and slaps her knee. She cringes a little, bitting her lip harder. "Thanks for the pain in my knee." "No problem. Any time." Sonic stands back up and says holding Sally's face "Don't worry, I'll heal any wound we come across." "We?" "Yes, we." He kisses her, in full. Sally pulls away, then says,"C'mon, let's go." She grabs his hand and ignoring the pain, runs off towards the War Room. When they reach the War Room, Bunnie, Antione, Rotor, Tails, Sasha and Dulcy have taken thier seat around the table. Sonic noticed that Akeela wasn't there. He looked around, but it was in vain. He moved towards Sally's ear and whispers, "I'll be right back, I am gonna go get my brother." Sally nods her head and Sonic walks out the door. He takes a deep breath and was on his way. He arrived at Akeela's house in no time flat. The house seemed empty, no lights were on. Sonic walks to the door and knocks on it. No answer. "(Where the hell is he? He knew that there was a meeting tonight! Sally yelled it out to everyone on the way back to Knothole!)" Sonic thought. He looks around and can't seem to find him. He goes to the back of his house and doesn't find him there either. He begins to worry. "(Dammit, where the hell is he?!)" He hears a rustling in a bush behind him. Sonic turns toward it qucikly and sees Akeela walking through a bush, rubbing his cheek. "Where were you? You knew we had a meeting! Remember, Sally told us that we were gonna have one after while escaped from Robotnik!" "Oh shit! Oh I'm sorry little brother! I was just out walking and I just seemed to forget!" Akeela says sarcastically. Sonic rolls his eyes and says, "Let's go. We are already late." They take off and skid back at the War Room. When they arrived, you could hear the rowdy crowd inside. People wanted the meeting over with cuz' Sally wanted to wait for Sonic. When they entered, Sahsa says, "Finally, what took you so long??" "Hey, don't insult me like that!" Sonic retaliated. "I was out and he came to get me. Sorry Princess Sally." "That's okay Akeela, just be on time in the future." Sonic and Akeela walk over to thier seats, Sonic on the right of Sally and Akeela on the left of Sally. As they sat, Sally began the meeting by pounding the gavel on the table in front of her as she says, "Good morning everyone." A bunch of tired, murmering voices replied. "I am sorry that I had this meeting at 1 am. As you and I know, Robotnik is back. Now that he knows the location of Knothole, we must move it. I know that this will be a long, tough task, but it has to be done. Now, I want everyone to pack up all thier belongings and be sure to tell me or Sonic when you are completely done.  And if anything happens to me, Sonic is in charge. Now, the main reason why you are here is that we need to find a new location for our small village. What I want to do is split you up into teams. Sonic, you and Akeela will be looking in the east. Tails, you will be with.." "Aunt Sally?" "Yes Tails?" "May I please go with Sasha?" Sally sighs, then says "Alright, but you have to keep in touch with me every hour." "I promise Aunt Sally." "You two will be going to the north. Dulcy and Rotor will take the south and Antoine and Bunnie will have the west. Everybody clear with that?" They all say okay in thier own way, then Sally pounds the gavel and says, "This meeting is adjourned."
		
   			As soon as everybody left, Sonic walked up to Sally and gave her a kiss. "You did a wonderful job honny." "Thank You Sonic. This is a tragedy. And your parents and Charles, will they be okay?" "Doc Quack says that he plans on downloading thier memory into a disk to be uploaded back into the at a later time." "Good, I am glad your parents and Charles are okay. By the way, do you have any plans tonight?" "Well, other than you, no." "Good! I want to..." Sally begins to whisper in Sonic's ear. "You want to do what?!" "Why not? I love you and you love me. Besides, I want to make our last time in the original Knothole special." "Alright. What time tomorrow? Right now, it is 1:30 am." "How about, umm, 7:00 pm?" "That will be fine." O.k., I'll see you then." Sally says, curling her hair on her finger. Then she begins to walk away. Sonic watches her leave as someone pokes him on his shoulder. He turns real quick and says "Huh, oh it's you Bunnie." "Ah just wanted to ask, how are yoah parents and sugah Chuck?" "They are doing better. Hey Bunnie, it's late, why aren't you going to bed?" "Ah don't know, ah guess ah am just worried about Knothole and all." "You should get some sleep Bunnie." "Alright, I'll see ya'll tomara!" "Night Bunnie. (Yawn) I better get some sleep to, I am beat.(Yawn)" Sonic begins to walk to his hut when he falls dead asleep on the ground. He lays there, right arm bent underneath him, left arm curved by his head. He head is looking toward the Medilab as he drools on to the ground. He ends up sleeping there most of the night. Sally is in thier bedroom, sitting up against the headboard in her nightgown, legs underneath a quilt while reading a book. As she flips the page, she wonders where her boyfriend is. "(Hmmm, where is he?)" She thinks to herself. "(He'll come home soon, I hope.)" She looks at the book and then tries to read. She then thinks, "(Oh, I can't read this and think of him. I might as well go to sleep. Good night Sonic.)" She folds the corner of the page and closes the book. She lays it down on the small table next to her. She pulls down the string to turn off her lamp and it shuts off. She stretches a little and yawns. Then, she picks up the quilt and slides down underneath it. She pulls them over her shoulder and rests her head on her pillow, sliding her arm underneath it. Then, she thinks, (Sonic should be fine, he is probly hanging with his friends.) Then, she slowly falls asleep. In the depths of the destroyed Robotropolis, Robotnik, now call Cybornik, is searching through a secret part of Robotropolis for a important machine. "Dig faster you insignificant robots!!" "Yes sir." "Snively!" "Yes sir?" "Enlarge your battle suit and show these robots how to dig!" "Yes sir!" Snivley folds his arms and throws his arms in rage and grows in size. He walks into the hole, and begins to burrow into the ground. It does that for about 5 seconds and comes up with a giant metal box. He walks to Cybornik and sets it down right next to him. "Good show Snively! Now, open this box!" Snively bends the metal until he has a hole and pulls out a machine that looks like a light projector. Robotnik laughs and says, "Yes! Now I can access the Zone of Silence!! The zone will be accessed through this Zone Portal Projector and then I can go anywhere I want. Hmmmmm, that really sounds good. Let us go back to Hq stat!" "Yes sir! "Yes sir!" The robot say simultaneously as they walk away. 

			The next morning, Sally awoke at 9 in th morning. She looks to the side of her and does not see Sonic. She sits up and streches. She moves her legs out from underneath the quilt and stands up. She looks out side and notices Sonic on the ground. She panics and runs right out there, in her nightgown. (Don't worry, it's not see-through) She sits onto his stomach as she picks his head up, almost crying and taps him on the face. He begins to figit and when Sally realizes that he will be o.k., she begins to smile. Sonic's eyes slowly open as he see's Sally, on top of his stomach. He tries to sit up as he says, "Hi Sally, what's up?" "Well, for one thing, it seems like you fell asleep outside. Did it rain last night? Your all wet and so is the ground." "(Yawn), I guess it did. I remember walking towards our hut and then, I must of fell asleep." "I guess you were more exausted from last night more than you thought. C'mon. I'll make you some breakfast." "O.k., I could use somthing to eat." "Alright. What do you want?" "I don't know, how about .." They continue to talk about something to eat as Tails and Sasha are in thier hut, discussing what they are packing and where the things go. "No Tails! That goes in this bag!" "Well I am sorry!  Do you want to pack this by yourself or do you want my help?" "Yes, of course I want your help. How about this, you pack your things and when your done, you can help me." "I already packed my things. They are wating in my room." "Oh, good, then you can help me." "Alright, let's get it over with." Tails begins to pass things to Sasha as he notices something out the window. "(Hey that's Akeela, but who is that with him? It seems to be a female, but I can't be sure.)" Tails thought to himself, not realizing that he covered Sasha in a mountain of stuff. Sasha became annoyed and yelled. "Tails!!! What the hell are you doing?!?!" Tails looks back and says, "Oops, sorry Sasha, I wasn't (giggle) paying attention." "Obviously." She begins to step out of the pile and continues to talk. "Anyway, I don't need your help anymore. I think can handle the rest of this." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I can do things on my own you know." "Alright then, bye Sash." Tails gives her a kiss and starts walking through the mess to the door when it opened. "Hi Tails, hi little sis? What's goin' on in here?" Sally said happily. "You're in a good mood today Aunt Sally." "Ya, just ate breakfast with Sonic." She walks in and closes the door while saying, "He ate his fast and then ate the rest of mine. At least I got somthing in my stomach." She sits down on the only available chair and asks, "Do you happen to know where Sonic was last night?" "No, we went striaght home last night, like you told us to." "Oh, ya, that's right." "Hey, just a little while ago, I seen Akeela outside with someone, couldn't make out who it was. But I could tell though that it was a..." "Hey, there he is!" Sally says, looking out the window. Everybody looks and thier is Akeela, walking into his house, alone. "I thought he was with someone Tails." Sasha asks. "When I saw him, he was with someone." "O.k., I believe you. Sally, what do you think we should do?" "Well, there is only one way to find out what he was doing, I guess we better go talk to him." They begin to walk to the door as Tails says, "Alright Aunt Sally." Sally opens the door and runs outside. Tails and Sasha follow, holding hands. They continue to walk to Akeela's house when Sally falls to the ground, holding her right leg. She begins to cry as the two fourteen-year olds run over to her. "Sally!! Are you all right?!" Sasha yells. "Go get Sonic and Dr. Quack!!! Aahhh, my leg!!" She cringes around the leg, whining a lot. Tails and Sasha take off towards the medilab and rushed inside. They ran through it until they arrive infront of Dr. Quack. "What's the rush kids?" The doctor asked. "Quick, hurry, Sally's hurt!!" Sasha exclaimed, outta breath. "Then lead the way children!" Sasha and Tails turn around and start to run back towards the exit, Dr. Quack following.

				"OOOWWWW!!! NO, NOT THERE!!!! OWWW! OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!" "Princess, we have to bandage your leg. Now, please sit still." One of the nurses says. As they bandage Sally's leg, Sonic, Tails and Sasha are with Dr. Quack examining the x-rays. "Now, you see, there is a piece of rock lodged between her her knee cap and the muscle. I figure, since you told me she ran after falling, the rock must of lodged farther in. Now, we must perform surgery on her right leg. I must go see her now. Sonic, Tails, Sasha, try to find something to do, I will let you know later tonight. I will see you then." Dr. Quack begins to leave, but was stopped by Sonic, standing in front of him. "Doc, may I stay in a room here? I don't want to leave her." "I am sorry Sonic, but I cant.." "Then I will have to stay by force. Plus, Sally will help me stay, she is the princess." "Alright Sonic, I will get you a room. But if we need a room for a patient," "I understand. I will move if you do." "Alright Sonic." "Were staying with Sonic." Tails and Sasha commanded. Dr. Quack rolls his eyes and says, "Ay, this is becoming a zoo!" "Chill Doc, we are not gonna tear this place apart.....soon." Dr. Quack gives Sonic a bad look and Sonic smiles and says, "I'm kiddin'! Don't worry, I'll keep these kids in line." "Whatever, can we see Sally?" Sasha asks. "Ya, I was just about to ask that." "No, we are going to do the surgery soon. When I leave this room and get back there, we are going to prepare her for the surgery. Your room is in room 157B. That is the only room left for more than one person I believe." Thanks Doc..." Sonic motions him to move into the hall. Dr. Quack follows him out there and Sonic says, "Hey, please take good care of my Sally. If she gets crippled, you're gonna regret it!" "Sonic, there is only a ten percent chance of that happening." "Well, don't let that happen or you will regret it." "Alright, alright. Just relax okay, now I gotta go. I will see you later." Dr. Quack walks away, towards Sally's room. Sonic calls Tails and Sasha and tells them to follow him. They walk around and when they find room 157B. They open the door and flip the light switch. They look around and it is a normal medical room. "Well, like he said relax so, " He jumps on to a bed and says, "Let's relax!" "I am suprised. I thought you would be more worried than.." "Hey, let's play a game! Hide and seek. Really old game, but we can still play it. O.k., you two hide somewhere in Knothole and I'll find you. O.k.?" "Alright, c'mon Tails! Let's go hide!" Sasha yells as they run off down the hall as Sonic thinks, "(Good, got them away. Now I can go see Sally in peace, alone.)" Sonic takes off towards the medical rooms and zips through the halls. When he arrives at Sally's room, he hears what the doctors are saying. "O.k., now we need to slowly take out this piece of rock out of the joint." They take a tweezers and clamp down on it. Dr. Quack slowly pulls out the rock. "Yes, we have the rock out, now all we have to do is move the knee cap back in place and sew up the skin. Okay, lets do it people!" Sonic was holding his breath all through this and finally exhales. He thinks as a tear drips from his eye, (She's gonna be okay!) Sonic runs off back to the room. While Sonic was doing this, Tails and Sasha went into an old storage hut in the back of Knothole and ended up hiding in a dark closet. Tails flips a swich and th lights turn on. "Do you think Sonic is gonna find us in here Tails?" "He is not looking for us." "How do you know?" "I seen it in his eyes and when he interrupted me when I was saying he should be more worried, that is when I knew for sure." When Tails finished, he saw Sasha fidgeting alot. "Are you alright Sash?" "Something is poking me on my back." Sasha has her arm behind her is strugguling on somthing. She keeps moving around and realizes what is behind her when she pulls out what was there. "Hey, what is this old book doing in this closet?" "You just contridicted yourself Tails, this is a closet in a storage hut. People throw old things in closets. Now lets see what this book is about. Hmm," She blows off the dust and begins to cough with Tails. She didn't get all the dust off so, she wipes it off. "The book reads,  'My journal.' I guess it was someones along time ago. Let's read it!" Sasha exclaims, "No, that would be invading someones privacy!" "Well fine, I wont read it. And I have a question, if Sonic isn't looking for us, why are we still in here?" "If you don't want to be in here, we can leave." "Okay, let's go." they get up and open the door. But secretly, Sasha slips the book underneath the back of her shirt and tucks her shirt in her pants. They walk out the door and head back for the room.
	
		"Sally is gonna be okay!!!!" Sonic screams in Tails and Sasha's ears. "Alright, we heard you the first time Sonic." "Ya, hey look what Tails and I found." Sasha pulls out the book she hid under her shirt and hands it to Sonic. "What is this?" "Sasha, you stole that book from the closet!!" "No I didn't. I am just borrowing it. Anyways, what does it say Sonic?" "I haven't opened it yet. I think we better wait 'til Sally recovers. Then and only then is when we know what is in this book. Is that understood you guys?" "Yes Sonic." Sasha and Tails say in unison. "Good, hey let's go get Dr. Quack and see when we will be able to see her. Okay?" "Yeah, let's go!" They walk out the room and begin to walk down the hall. They walk for a few minutes, talking to each other along the way. Then they bump in to Dr. Quack. "Dr. Quack! How is Sally?" "She will be fine, she is sleeping peacefully in her room. Her knee is back in place and is healing. It will be about 2 weeks before she is able to walk again." "Then, that means I will be in charge of the move. May I please go see her, even if I can't talk to her, I want to be near her." "If you must, she is in room 97A." "Thank you." Sonic takes off as Dr. Quack says, "No Running!" In a few seconds, Sonic was in her room. He slowly walks in and closes the door silently. As he walks to the bed in this dim room, a tear drips from his eyes, noticing the cast on Sally's leg. He sits down on a chair placed next to the bed. He picks up Sally's hand and carfully caresses it, wanting to kiss her, but doesn't want to disturb her sleep. She squints her eyes a little as she rolls to her left slowly. Sonic lets go of her hand as she does this and stands up. "(You will be fine Sally, I know you will. How could I let something like this happen to you? I guess that was a hole in her knee, but then it wasn't bleeding alot. The rock must of been holding the blood back. Don't worry Sal, I will do my best to take you're place while you're gone.)" Sonic walks to the door and opens it to find Tails and Sasha outside it. "You can go see her now. She is sleeping though." "O.k., thank you Sonic." Sasha replies. They enter and close the door. Tails walks next to Sally and sits on the bed. Sasha stands next to the door way and watches Tails rub Sally's arm. As he does this, Sasha wonders to herself "(I wonder why Dr. Quack wanted to keep this under wraps. I guess he didn't want to worry our town, make them think that we couldn't move on a count of Sally. Well, I better pay my respects to my sister.)" Sasha walks over to Sally and kisses her on her cheek. Tails watches this from right next to Sally and gets off the bed. He walks over to Sasha and she says, "C'mon Tails, we better leave her to rest." "Right." They walk to the door holding hands and open the door. To thier suprise, Akeela is waiting outside the door, arms folded and eyes closed. They walk by him and he enters the room. He shuts the door and opens his eyes, letting the stream of tears flow that he was holding back. He drops to his knees in front of Sally's face, right next to her bed. He stares at her, sobbing his eyes out. He puts his face into his hands and continues to cry. He looks at her, then her cast, then her. He stands up, wipes the tears away, then he walks away. He opens the door and walks outside. He sits down right next to the door and puts his head into his hands. Inside, Sally is peacefully sleeping. Then, her body begins to glow a red fire. Her body is covered in this red fire, then it is on her leg, the one with the cast. Outside the door, Sonic, Sasha, and Tails are standing with Dr. Quack, discussing Sally's release date. "Dr. Quack, do you know when Sally will be released?" "I am not sure, but if she recovers quickly, she can leave in about 3 to 4 days. She will need a cast and will be in a air chair for about 10 days." "O.k., I better round everybody up so I can start the move. Tails, Sasha, c'mon, let's go." "Alright Sonic." "Ya, let's go Sasha." They walk out the door and stop in front of it. "O.k., Tails, you go get Bunnie and Antione. Sasha, you go get Akeela first then go get Rotor. I am gonna get Knuckles and see if he can help us in the move." "Alright Sonic, I'll see you later Sasha!" "Bye Tails! I'll go in now and go get Akeela. See ya Sonic!" "Bye Sash." Sonic turns toward the comunications/war room and darts off to it and opens the door. He heads over to the radio and flips a switch. The radio lets out static through the speaker as Sonic grabs the book with the frequencies to all Freedom Fighter bases, including the Floating Island. He looks up that isle and moves to the knob and starts turning it. There is a bunch of noises emmiting from the speaker as he sets it to the frequency and calls Knuckles. "Floating Isle, this is Knothole calling the Floating Isle. Come in." {Yes, this is the floating Ilse, who is this?} "Hey, it's me, Sonic. Who is this?" {It's me, Espio. Was'up True Blue?} "I need you and the rest of the Chaotix over here to help us in the move. When can you come?" {We can come now, no prob. I'll see you soon. Floating Isle signing off. Bye Sonic.} "Knothole signing off. See ya Espio." Sonic flips the on/off switch to off and stands up. He walks to the door and opens it. He walks out and closes the door behind him.

		"Okay everybody, I have some news for you all. I am now in charge of the move for today and tomarrow. In a freak accident, my girlfriend and our princess, Sally Acorn has lost the ability to walk for at least 2 weeks." Murmuring voices are heard through out the war room as Sonic hits the gavel on the table. "O.k., I know this is a shock to you all, it was to me to. I need to know from each of you if you have finished packing. Please raise your hand if you did." Sasha, Tails, Antione, Bunnie and Akeela raise thier hands. "Rotor, you haven't finished?" "No, I have alot of things to pack. I am almost done though." "Good. Now I need everybody to help me with telling the rest of Knothole. Come up with any posible way, just make sure that everybody packs up. Sally will be in a air chair and she will be with me starting the day after tomarrow. O.k., You are dismissed." Everybody stood up and headed for the door, talking to each other about what they just heard. Sonic was the first to the door, using his speed, and raced over to the hospital to find Sally outside in a air chair, sitting next to Dr. Quack. Hi Sal, they let you out early I see." "Hi Sonic, ya. Dr. Quack says I recovered very quickly." "Yes, it was remarkable, she was only in the room for about 4 hours and recovered almost fully. She probably will be out of the chair in about 2 days for the bone to heal." "That's great news doc." "Hey Sonic, anything new in the move?" Sally asks. "Ya, I got the Freedom Fighters to go out and tell the citizens of Knothole to start packing." "Good, hopefully everyone will be done in a couple of days. Contact everyone on thier wrist communicators." "Here's the wrist com., you can contact them." "Fine. (Lazy ass)" Sally says and thinks. She pushes buttons to have communicator talk to everyone at the same time. "Hello Freedom Fighters." A bunch of replies saying 'Hi Sally' "Listen up, I need you to report back to me and Sonic at the warroom after everyone is informed of the move, is that clear?" 'Yes Princess' everyone replies. Sally turns off the communicator and says, "Come on Sonic, we better meet them there." "Right Sally. I'll push so you don't use the battery up." Sonic begins to walk then says, "Hang on Sal!" and takes Sally to the warroom at breakneck speeds. When he stops, Sally says, "Whoa, what a rush! Wow, seem like a long time since we did that, huh?" "Ya, a little to long. Here, I'll get the door." Sonic opens the door as Sally pushes a joystick forward to move the air chair forward. She floats into the warroom as Sonic closes the door behind him. "Hey Sonic," "Ya Sal?" "Leave the door open, it's a nice day. I want the breeze to flow through." "O.k., No prob Sal." Sonic opens the door all the way and walks to Sally, who is next to the radio. "Did you contact the Chaotix?" "I sure did, they should be arriving any minute now." "I Think they are here, look outside." Sonic turns around and notices a small craft land onto a empty spot in the forest. "Man Knux, you don't even know how to come here without the possibility of Robotnik following." Sonic says to himself. The door opens on the craft an Knuckles walks out, dressed in blue baggy pants, a brown leather vest with no shirt and a brown leather cowboy hat with stars around the middle of the brim, on the part your head goes through. Then, the Chaotix walk out. Espio in a white T-shirt and black, baggy pants, Vector in a big blue shirt, black leather vest and pipe light-blue jeans, Mighty in a red muscle shirt and baggy jean shorts, and Charmy walks out in his bigger form wearing a navy blue T-shirt and gym shorts. All are wearing thier normal shoes. Sonic pushes Sally outside and walks her over to the craft since Sally didn't want a wiplash from Sonic's speed. "Hi Sally! Whoa, what happened to your leg?" "I had a rock lodged between my knee cap and mucle." Knuckles and the Chaotix cringe while she was telling them. "Man, that must of hurt." "Ya, it did, alot. Anyway, anything new happen on the Floating Isle?" "Not really, still floating, moving slightly. I hear you need our help for you to move to an new spot. Well, were here, what do you want us to do?" "Well first, let's go in the warroom, Sonic, go see if anyone is there." "You got it Sally." Sonic disapears from Sally's side for a split second, then is back at her side. "Tails, Sasha, Antione, Bunnie and my brother are there." "And there is Rotor and Dulcy." Espio adds, pointing down the street. "Alright, let's go." Knuckles says, walking behind Sally to push her chair. Sonic, knowing that they both care for her equally, let's him. They walk tawards the warroom when Amy Rose runs up next to Charmy and says, "Hi!" "Uh, hi Amy." Amy grabs Charmy's hand and says, "You look nice today Charmy." "Err, thank you. You, look nice today too, I guess." Charmy tries to pull his hand away, but he can't get it away so, he let's her hold it. "Why is everyone packing up?" "Knothole is moving to a new location." "Wow, really?" "Yeah, yet, I still don't know why Sally wanted us here today." "Can I go with you?" "Uh, I guess so." "Great!" Amy's eyes sparkle after that as Charmy looks at her. They continue to walk, Amy holdin' his hand and Charmy still trying to get it away. Sonic is walking next to Sally holding her hand. Knuckles didn't bring Julie-su this time. Hmmm, I wonder why.... they walk into the warroom and they all take thier seats and Sonic moves the normal chair she sits in and Sally moves in. She pounds the gavel on the tale and says, "Okay., We have to find a new location for Knothole. Sonic, Akeela and Knuckles will go to the east, Tails, Sasha and Mighty will go to the North, Dulcy, Rotor and Charmy will go to the South and Antione, Bunnie and Espio will go west." "Hey, waddabout' me? You just gonna leave me here high and dry?" "Your going with Tails, Sasha and Mighty." "Great, I get to go wit' da shorties." "Hey, we aren't happy about it either!" "I shoulda' shut my big mouth." "Vector, Sasha, learn to get along, at least while we are looking for a new place. Mighty, Tails, keep them from killing each other." "Yes Princess." "Alright Aunt Sally." "Good. This meeting is adjourned." Vector walks over to Tails and Sasha and says, "If you think I am gonna listen to you two brats, you gottanotha thing comin'." Vector walks onto the ship he came in and races into the forest on his air jet ski. "Ooo, I wanna kick his ass so bad." "No Sasha, We gotta do the mission."Tails say, grabbing her arm, then says, "C'mon, let's go get one of the speeders." "Fine." she says as she whips her arm away from him. "Man, they jus't don't get along. I should of saw it when we were heading over to Uncle Chuck's hideout  when we found Robotnik. She got on the speeder, sat down next to me and when Vector got on, they gave each other a bad look and Vector sat in the back." Tails says as they walk towards the landing pad for the speeders. "Well, Vector isn't the easiest to get along with, plus he has an attitude to compete with our bud, Sonic." "I am just glad we are all on the same side now, unlike the way we used to be." "We were always on the same side just we were blind to see that until that faithful day when..." "You guys comin' or are you gonna stay here and twiddle your thumbs?!?" "Okay, okay, were comin'. I am driving this time Sash." "Oh, you keep telling yourself that and mabye it will happen in a dream." Sasha sits down in the drivers chair, pushes a button and took off. "Hey! Wait!" "Great Tails, Now how are we gonna get to her." "Grab my hands and hold on." Tails curls up his tails and races off on the ground, toward to speeder. He catches up to the speeder and flies into it carrying Mighty into it, setting him down into a chair. Then he lands in the passenger seat and yells at Sasha, "Why did you leave us back there like that?!" "Well, I am sorry, I wanted to catch up with that stupid croc." "What is wrong between you and....." "Don't say his name unless you make fun of it or him." "O.k., um, what is up between you and "That crazy croc"?" "He is such an.." "O.k., I don't wont you to crash us into a tree just cuz' your running your mouth on Vector." "Dammit, I told you not.." starts driving crazily, "TO SAY HIS NAME!!!" Sasha slams her hand down onto the control board and accidentally hits the turbo button. Everybody leans back into thier seat as thier loose skin flaps in the wind. Thier speeder goes through the Great Forest and pass up Vector, who was on a small air jet ski. They zip by, then Vector says, "Oh, they think they gots skillz cuz' they can go fast eh? I'll show em'!" Vector hits the button that reads, "Don't press!" and a giant blast of fire comes from the air jets and he blasts off after them.

	"This is boring Sonic." "Ya, little bro, let's have some fun. How about Knux and I take thouse to air jet ski's and search on our own. We will take communicators so we an keep in touch." "Alright you guys," Sonic turns to a compartment under a seat and pulls out 2 headsets while he says, " there are 6 pre-sets being used, even though there are ten. Number 1 contacts Sally's wrist com, number 2 contacts speeder '1', 3 contacts Dulcy's wrist com., 4 contacts this ship, speeder '2', 5 goes to speeder '3', and 6 contacts us all." "When did you learn this baby brother?" "Before we defeated Robotnik for the first time." "Oh, well, hey, as long as ya know what your doing." Akeela and Knuckles slide on the headsets and turn it on. They set the dial to 4 and walk to each others' air jet ski. They get on as Sonic types in the command to un-lock the ski's from the speeder. The air jet skis disconnect and float next to the speeder.They turn away yelling 'see ya!' Sonic waves, and replies 'Bye guys! Be careful!' They take off in different directions, dodging trees, laughing and having fun. Sonic watches them leave, then turns toward the driving controls and puts it on automatic control. "There, that should let me (YAWN) sleep. Thanks to Rotor, this baby wont crash into any trees because of...the...sensor. Oh ya, no one's here. (YAWN)" Sonic pulls two chairs into the middle of the deck and sits in one, resting his feet on the other one. He folds his arms and rests his chin on his chest. He closes his eyes and falls asleep. Elsewhere in the forest, Sasha, Tails and Mighty are flying uncontrollably through the trees and all over the place. Vector is right behind them and is slowly catching up to them. "Tails (grunts), you think you can help me here?" "What should I do?" "(Big grunt) Help me steer!!!" Tails grabs the controls and tries to help, but it is in vain. Charmy shakes his head from crashing right into the back of the speeder. He looks at what is going on and gets up to help. He struggles to get to the steering wheel, and finally makes it there. He grabs the steering wheel as all three steer though the forest. Tails looks down at the controll panel and sees the turbo button. He reaches over to it and pushes it, making it unclick and come out, slowing down the speeder. As it slows down, the three sigh and wipe the sweat off there face. They come to a full stop as Vector crashes into the back of the speeder getting stuck in the back, making Tails, Sasha and Mighty jerk back, then forward, hitting the turbo button again and them taking off faster than last time because of Vector's turbo is still on. They race through the forest again, but crash into a giant tree and they go flying through the air. They hit the ground, hard. Sasha is the first to hit, then Tails, Mighty, and Vector. Tails picks up his head an looks. His vision is blurred, so he rubs his eyes. When his vision is cleared, he notices everyone on the grass in front of him, then notices this old stone wall that is in front of them. "Whaoh, what is that? Hey Sasha!" Tails yells as he runs over to Sasha, limping a little. He gets to her and asks, "Are you okay?" Sasha opens her eyes slowly and holds her head. Then she says, "Ya, I'll be alright." "Hey Sasha, do you know what that is over there?" Sasha looks to her left and looks in awe at the giant stone wall. "It looks like some kind of ancient ruins. Let's check it out." "Alright, let me check on everyone else." Tails runs to Mighty, who is laying face down into the grass. Sasha stands up slowly, almost falling back over because of her dizzyness. Tails starts pushing Mighty, then pushes him over, onto his back and smacks his face, trying to wake him up. Mighty opens his eyes and sees Tails about to hit his face again and screams out, "WHAT THE HELL?!?" "Hey, welcome back." "Man, what do you think you were gonna do, eh!?" "Sorry, I was trying to wake you up." "Well, you got me up, now what?" "Help me get Vector up." "Alright." They walk over to Vector and Mighty goes to his head and yells, "Wake up!!!!!!" Vector freaks out, pushes off the floor and flips backwards to stand in a fighting position. He notices who he was about to attack and backed down. "Why ya gotta bust my eardrums?!?" "I needed to wake you up, Vector. We need your help. Check it out." Mighty points to the giant stone wall as Vector looks. "Hey, where did that wall come from?" "C'mon Vector, let's go join my girlfriend." "You mean bitch." "No, girlfriend. Sorry, fiance." "And like I said, bitch." "Will please stop callin' my girlfriend a bitch?!" "No, cuz' I am just statin' the facts." "Well i'd like you to take your stupid fact and shove it up your...," "Tails, chill. Let's just complete our mission." Mighty put his hand on Tails shoulder, but Tails gets it off real quick. "No Mighty, I am settling this thing between you" Tails points at Vector, "and my future wife. O.k., now, what the hell is going on between you two that make you hate each other?" Vector looks at Tails, sighs, and turns on his music. "Huh, thinks, he doesn't have to talk to me because he's  a year older then me. What an ass." Tails loos at Vector listening to his music and gets pissed, so he reached up and rips his headpones off of his head yells, "WHY ARE YOU TWO PISSED AT EACH OTHER?!?!" "Cuz' were ex's o.k.?!?" Tails looks at Vector in awe, then takes off into the air and flies up high. Sasha saw Tails fligh up and runs over to mighty and asks, "Where is he going." Vector is hanging his head and says, "I told him Sasha." "You did what?!?!" Sasha says as she punches his arm. "Why the hell did you tell him?!?!" "He was twistin' my arm, so, I told him." "Great, now were here, by ourselves, with no ride home." Sasha say, following by screaming out, "TAILS!! COME BACK!!!" 
	
	Tails, is flying high above the crash spot, very mad. Then he comes down really quick, lands in front of Sasha and says, "Why didn't you ever tell me this? Huh? HUH!?" "Well, I, didn't know when to tell you." "Ay, of all the stupid... You should of told me this before we got engaged!!!" "I'm Sorry Tails, but that was the past. You really need to calm down." "CALM! I AM CALM!!" "Uh, Mighty," "Yes?" "Hold Tails down." "NO ONE IS GONNA HOLD ME DOWN!" Mighty grabs Tails and holds him down by his arms. Tails begins to struggle as Sasha says, "Listen Tails, I'll tell you what happened if you will calm down, okay?" Tails looks at her and says, "Okay" "Alright, here. Oh, and before I start, keep your yap shut Vector." "Fine, fine." "Alright, you can let him up now Mighty." "Gotcha'." He lets him stand up and he stands up, wiping off the dust. then, he says, "Alright, begin." "Well, Vector and I met 2 years ago on the Floating Island, before I was found and before I met you. We were friends for the first month, then he asked me out. I agreed and we went to Knuckles place and he also vowed to keep shut when I met you. Anyway, about 6 months went by and I saw him kissing ANOTHER GIRL." Sasha says, in angry voice towards Vector, "Huh, you never proved it." Vector says, folding his arms and looking away. "So, the next time I saw him, we got into a giant fight and broke up. That is why I hate his guts." "Same here, shorty." "Well, you still should of told me Sasha." "Yes, I should of. I am very sorry Tails, I just didn't know when to tell you." "Well, I do forgive you. Was he your first boyfriend? He better be...." "Yes Tails, that is why I am so pissed at him." "Alright, well let's just get along and finish the mission. Can we contact Knothole?" "No, our communiations radio was destroyed." "How do you know?' "Mighty checked it out while I was talking to you." "Oh." "Well, we might as well fulfill our mission." "Wait Sash, I think we should check out what's behind the giant stone wall." "Hey Mighty," "Ya?" "Check if there are any more signal lights." "Right away princess." Mighty runs over to the demolished speeder and forces the trunk open. The trunk bends open as he says "Only 5 survived." "Good. Go get them and bring them to me." "Yes Princess."  He grabs them and takes them over to Sasha. The signa lights are poles with red lights on the top and spikes at the end of the pole. He gets to her  and she takes the poles with 'Thank you' as her reply. She walks around the empty field, which is about a block wide, filled with grass, placing the light around the perimeter. "What do you plan to do Sasha?" Tails asks. "Well, once I place this last one down, (grunts), there. Anyways, Tails, do you think you can fly up and find Dulcy? We need ther communicators." "Ya, I can." "Then go get them!" "Gotcha." "Hey Tails?" "Ya Mighty?" "Let me go with, I think they need to talk out ther problems." "Alright, grab my hand." Mighty grabs his hand, Tails curls up his tails and takes off into the air and begin thier trip to Dulcy. Meanwhile, Sasha is sitting down, back towards Vector, eyes closed. Vector takes off his headphones, puts them around his neck, and turns off his radio. He walks to Sasha and sits down. He looks at her and says, "Hey, are you gonna be okay?" " "Yes, I will be fine." "Look, I hope you and Tails are happy together." Sasha looks up and opens her eyes. A tear runs down her face as she says, "Do you really mean that?" "Ya, I was more irresposible then." She turns at him real quick and says, "That still doesn't give you the right to kiss another..." Vector looks down and says, "I know, I am sorry. That was a big mistake." She looks at the sunset over the trees and replies, "Your tellin' me" Then he looks at her and asks, "Hey, did you and him figured out a date yet?" "No, we want to defeat Robotnik first." "Oh." Then she look at him and asks, "Look, do you think we can get along from now on?" "Ya, I think so." She looks back at the sun set and says, "Good. I think my sister will appreciate that." Vector looks too and replies. "Yeah." "I just really hope we get rid of Robotnik once and for all." "You said it." "That will be one score that will effect the entire planet." Sasha moves over next to Vector and sets her head on his shoulder. Vector puts his arms across her back and hand onto her shoulder and hugs her as they watch the red, orange, and yellow sunset. 

	Currently, Tails and Mighty spotted Dulcy flying through the air. The get to them as pretty fast. The fly next to the and Mighty says, "Hey, where is Charmy" Rotor replies "He is fying right her." Charmy flies from on side of Dulcy to Tails' and says, "Hey guys, What's up?" "We need all 4 of you help. C'mon, follow me." Tails turns away and begins flying towards the crash site. Dulcy follows, with Charmy following her. Rotor holds onto the reigns and Amy holds onto Rotor's stomach. They fly for about five minutes until Tails saw Vector hugging Sasha. "(What does he think he is doing? No, I'm not getting mad, I should be happy that they aren't fighting anymore.)" They land near them and Sasha turns her head nad runs to Tails. Vector gets up and walks toward them. She hugs Tails as soon as she got to him and says, "Are you okay?" "Ya, I am fine. We got them here." "Good." "Hey Sasha," "Ya Rotor?" "What is this place?" "We don't know." "Well, why are we here?" "We need your communicators." Rotor hands Tails his headset, then he hands Sasha it. She puts it on, then says, "Thank you." She sets the dial to 1. There is a bunch of static, then it turns clear. Then, she says, "Attention Princess Sally Acorn! We need you to contact the other Freedom Fighters. Suspicious rock formation. Tell them to head into the air and look for the red signal beacons in  a small field of grass. Please come quickly." Sally comes onto the hadset first. "(Yes, a suspicious rock formation? What exactly are you talking about Sasha?)" "It seems mabye amcient city was here. It might be a suitible place for Knothole. But we need to check it out first." "(Alright. I'll contact them right away. Princess out.)" "Thank you sis. Princess out. They will be here soon." "Good. Should we wait for them or go and check out what is behind that wall?" "I think we should wait." "No way Babe, That's for wusses. I'm goin' in." "No your not Vector. As long as I am princess, you have to listen to me. Do you understand?" "Some princess you are." Sasha moves right into Vector's face and begins calmly. "Look, will you shut up and sit down" Then goes postal... " BEFORE I GIVE YOU A BEATING SO SEVERE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO BE IN THE ER FOR THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC LIFE?!?!" Vector backs up really quickly, then says, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Shit girl, you didn't have to go homicidal maniac on me!" "Well, I guess this mission has gotten to me, let's salvage all we can from the reckage." They begin to walk over to the reckage as Tails runs to it. He gets to the cab of the speeder and finds the controls destroyed. He races to the back and only finds a small, medical laser pistol. He pulls it out and and yells, "Hey! I found this pistol. What's it's worth?" "It's a medical pistol Tails. It does minimum damage to robots but can cut through alot of things. I would keep it." "Alright." Tails slides it between his belt and pants on his hip. Then, Sonic, in the speeder, is the first to arrive. He stops about 20 feet away from the group and yells out, "Hey guys! Was'up?" "Nothin' much Blue Blur!" Tails says as they punch their right fists in friendship. "So, what is goin' on T2?" "Look over ther." Tails points at the wall. "Whaoh, what's that doin' there?" "We don't know. We are waiting for everyone else." "Oh, okay." "You can get outta there if ya want." "Na, I am just gonna' go back to sleep up here." "Alright Sonic, we'll wake you up when they get here." "Gotcha', (YAWN), night Tails." "Night Sonic." Tails walks back to Sasha says, "We might as well sit down, it is probably gonna' take a little bit for them to get here." Tails sits down, "Alright." Sasha says as she sits down. The rest of them sit down and they wait for the other Freedom Fighters. Knuckles and Akeela are the next to arrive. They stop right next to the speeder and lock on. They step off and walk over to the small group of FF's and sit down saying, "Hi, what is goin' on?" Knux asks. Sasha replies and tells everyone what is going on. "Nothin' much. As you know, what is behind me may be the new Knothole. We are waiting for everyone to come and help us to check out what is behind that wall. And here is Antione, Bunnie, and Espio in thier speeder." They park it next to the other speeder and jump out. They walk over to the same group and sit down with the rest. Bunnie greets everyone first. "Hello ya'll." "Yes, she is sayeeng what I would bee sayeeng." The continue to exchange hellos as Sally lands in the 4th speeder next to all the others. A platform extends from an opening in the speeder as Sally floats down it. That is when Sasha says, "Alright Tails, go get Sonic." "O.k., I'll go get him." Tails flies off toward the speeder and land on the speeder. He walks to the side of Sonic and slowly pushes his stomach. Sonic stirs, then opens his eyes. "Huh, oh hey T2. What's up?" "Were ready. We are gonna make a plan." "Alright. (YAWN)" He stands up and streches. He goes into a refrigerator, grabs a pop out of and closes it. He jumps off the speeder and pushes Sally the rest of the way to the others. Then, Sally begins... "O.k., we need to find an entrance to see what is behind that wall. I want us all to search for an entrance and call the others. We will regroup inside." "Alright. Let's go!" Sonic says, They get up and begin to search the wall. Everyone is feeling and looking at the wall when Mighty says, "Hey! I found something!" Everyone starts to run to Mighty. "What's up Mighty man?" Vector asks. "Ya, I found this handle. It might be a door handle. I'll try to pull." Mighty gets into a stance and gets a good grip onto the handle. He starts to pull as everyone gets to him. A giant part of the wall comes out and shows what is behind the wall. And what is behind there will be a mystery until part two.....
