Prologue : The Cast of Characters and Celebration of the Defeat of Robotnik II

The planet Mobius, a world of great conflict.

Posted Image

It would seem that in this world you can always find two things, a great hero and an evil villain bent on world conquest. There have been minor and major losses on both sides but today, it would appear the forces of good have finally succeeded in eliminating the forces of evil. After three years of war, the Freedom Fighters have finally defeated the evil tyrant Robotnik II who came to their world from an alternate reality (also called a zone) to fill in the void in his and the Sonic from Mobius Prime's lives. After ten years of struggle the Freedom Fighters believed to have defeated the Robotnik of their zone and Robotnik II has annihilated the Sonic The Hedgehog from his. He had proved to be an even deadlier enemy than the first Doctor Ivo Robotnik but now all that was over in less time it took to defeat the first. After such an astounding victory it is obvious that such a joyous occasion would cause a tremendous celebration, and that is precisely what is happening as King Maximillion Acorn, rightful ruler of Mobius, Queen Alicia, their son Elias Acorn and his family, their daughter and heir to the crown Princess Sally Acorn, their military commander General D'Coolette, his son Captain Antoine D'Coolette, leader of his majesty's Secret Service Commander Geoffrey St. John and his team, Bunnie Rabbot, Rotor Walrus, Fiona Fox, Miles "Tails" Prower, and, of course, the greatest hero on Mobius, Sonic The Hedgehog prepare to have a good time. Along with their allies from Angel Island, the current Guardian of the Master Emerald Knuckles The Echidna, his girlfriend Julie-Su, his mentor Archimedes The Fire-Ant, his friends Team Chaotix consisting of Vector The Crocodile, Espio The Chameleon, Mighty The Armadillo, Charmy Bee and his wife Saffron, leader of the E.S.T. (Echidna Security Team) Constable Remington and his team, the Kingdom of Acorn's allies from Station Square Rouge The Bat and the SS military G.U.N., the allies from the Land of Mercia Rob O' The Hedge his wife Mari-Ann and his merry crew, and many others who joined the fight against Robotnik from all over the planet. We now join his highness, King Acorn, as he gives a speech to all after many long and unexplained hours of meeting with his military commanders.

"My loyal subjects," begins the king "though we have much reason to rejoice after the defeat of Robotnik it is my duty to turn your attention to the future."

Chapter I : The Formation of M.E.D.O. (Mobius Elite Defense Organization)

The king then spoke of how last time they defeated Robotnik it was not very long at all when he returned. He warned the populace of the entire planet that there are still an endless number of identical tyrants from the parallel universes. What should they do if another came in an attempt to conquer their world ? Would they be prepared ? He answered them, yes. King Acorn then declared that all of Mobius would have to put aside their past traditions and keep themselves prepared at all times to defend the world. This had been discussed with the kingdom's commanders and scientists and they agreed that they would create the Mobius Elite Defense Organization, code-named M.E.D.O. It would be a grand army consisting of several divisions. The infantry army led by General D'Coolette, the Royal Navy commanded by Admiral Rotor Walrus, and the Tornado Air Force led by Captain Miles "Tails" Prower. Also, second in command to none other than the royal family, Commander Sonic The Hedgehog. Yes, the heroes of Mobius have finally been given the ranks they deserved years ago for their constant service to the home. Then King Acorn introduces someone nobody expected him to. Doctor Eggman, also a version of Robotnik from another zone he had given up his evil ways and been instrumental in the defeat of Robotnik II.

"My friends, I know that Doctor Eggman committed some own horrible crimes against the Kingdom of Acorn, South Island, Angel Island, and Station Square but he has since proven himself no longer possessing the evil motives that caused him to do so." The king continued, "had it not been for his brilliant mind we never would have been rid of Robotnik II. And so, although he will be under close supervision, Doctor Eggman has agreed to create a mechanical army for the Kingdom of Acorn. It is time we began to fight fire with fire, or technology with more advanced technology.

"We also wish to strive for stronger alliances between the Kingdom of Acorn and Angel Island, Station Square, and the Land of Mercia. We proposed this to the Brotherhood of Guardians several years ago but was denied because we were not ready to combat the enemy on the technological levels that they would. Now, we are ready . . . if the offer still stands ?"

Knuckles quickly exchanged words with his ancestors and then proclaimed, "yes, the offer still stands, your highness."

"Excellent, then we shall begin work immediately . . . to send the planet of Mobius into a new age. An age in which we can fight off any attack that is thrown at us. Woe be unto Robotnik, should he threaten us again."

At those words cheers and applause erupted from the humongous crowd. The science teams of the Kingdom of Acorn, Angel Island, and Station Square then began working on the proposed M.E.D.O. The science team of the Kingdom of Acorn now consisted of Sonic's uncle Sir Charles The Hedgehog (Uncle Chuck to Sonic), Rotor Walrus, Tails, and Doctor Eggman. Echidnaopolis had sent their best scientists as well and Commander General Hugo Brass of Station Square's G.U.N. was assisting as well. Together, they designed the standard M.E.D.O. Trooper, an elite soldier with strong light-weight armor, a variety of weapons, and would be trained for every situation by Sonic The Hedgehog himself who would in turn train others with to be able to train others and train an entire army within a few months. Sonic would do his best to pass on his skills to survive any difficult situation to his troops. They also worked on perfecting a navy on par with the military of Station Square. It was then Tails' duty to design the air force. Tails as the best engineer and pilot Mobius had ever seen and it was inevitable that, even though he was still fairly young, he should be in charge of the fighter aircraft since he had already made several magnificent planes already such as the Tornado II and the Cyclone. Like the Cyclone, the planes he designed would have the unique ability to transform into powerful mechs as well. Lastly, Doctor Eggman was assisted in creating new and old robotic units. He had enlisted in the aid of his surviving E-Series robots, E-102 Gamma (now Chaos Gamma), E-123 Omega, and E-100 Alpha (Isaac). He decided to rebuild all those that were missing so that he had an elite crew of twenty-four E-Series robots with the Alpha unit leading them since the E-Series robots had always defied his evil ways and gone to fight for good on their own. He also rebuilt his squad of Egg Robos, led by the redesigned Advanced Egg Robo Knuckles had battled with long ago. Many of his badniks were reproduced as well as new ones invented. Lastly, Doctor Eggman requested from King Acorn that he be allowed to build a third Egg Carrier which would serve as a powerful defense to the kingdom and the request was granted. This all seemed like a lot to be trusting Doctor Eggman with, considering his past, but he had proposed a plan to ensure his loyalty. Sir Charles installed a special chip in every creation that would allow King Acorn to self-destruct the robots should Eggman prove untrustworthy through a special remote in Castle Acorn. After months of preparation, Mobius was now fully defended. M.E.D.O. was complete.

Chapter II : The Servers are the Seven Chaos

"The servers are the seven Chaos, Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart, the controller serves to unify the Chaos." These are the words of an ancient encantation taught to the echidna Tikal by her grandmother long ago. Tikal never understood these words then and neither does she truly grasp their meaning now. There are few creatures on Mobius who have attained any kind of super abilities from the Chaos Emeralds. Any who call upon the emeralds can be granted somewhat enchanced abilities and unlimited energy but few can claim to have received the full gifts of the Chaos Emeralds. These few consist of some of Mobius' bravest heroes, Sonic The Hedgehog has achieved the forms of Super Sonic, Hyper Sonic, and the most powerful, Ultra Sonic. Knuckles The Echidna has been Super Knuckles, Hyper Knuckles, and gained the full energy of the Chaos Emeralds and literally a living Chaos Emerald. Miles "Tails" Prower has also been Super Tails, Hyper Tails, and the "Chosen One" form of Turbo Tails. Only a few others have gained the true power of the emeralds, there has been Perfect Chaos, Super Shadow, and Ultimate Emerl. Villains like Enerjak and Mammoth Mogul have claimed to have mastered the power of the emeralds falsely, only the Ancient Walker have ever rightfully claimed that right. The Ancient Walkers were once nothing more than dinosaurs who lived long ago in a secluded area of Earth/Mobius when the Chaos Emeralds were first discovered. Many creatures were destroyed by the utter chaos brought by the gems but the three beings known as the Ancient Walkers managed to master their energies. Their powers have allowed their essences to live on for several thousand years . . . but no more. Athair, once a guardian of the might Master Emerald and Knuckles' great-grandfather, is the Ancient Walkers' agent and, just as he informed his ally Merlin Prower, a powerful charlatan and Tails' uncle, the Ancient Walkers' fire is going out on Mobius and soon they will be unable to continue their mission of collecting, preserving, and controlling the Chaos Emeralds. They had foreseen this day, though. That is why the afore mentioned creatures were born with mastery of the emeralds' energies. They are to be the replacements for the Ancient Walkers, they just don't know it yet. However, if the encantation Tikal knows plays some part in this tale, then there could be seven replacements for the three. If that's true, who is the seventh ?

Princess Sally strolls up and down the ranks of M.E.D.O. Troopers. "Very nice, very nice indeed. I certainly pity the fat tyrant who messes with Mobius now."

Not too far away, in the Great Forest, which is now protected by a huge shielded wall, there exists a small cottage where Merlin Prower, former wizard to King Acorn who has studied the Chaos Emeralds for all his life knowing that one of his own kin was to be the "Chosen One" and be charged with collecting all Chaos Emeralds for a greater purpose, lives undisturbed. At this moment, he is once again speaking with Athair, who has taken on his physical form again, and the two are trying to decipher the riddles of the Ancient Walkers.

"There does not seem to be any consistency with the Ancient Walkers' choices for replacements." comments Merlin.
"Indeed, the young hero, Sonic The Hedgehog, your nephew, the 'Chosen One' Miles, and my great-grandson, Knuckles." added Athair. "All of them have always been great heroes of Mobius. Then, there are the ones we are still not too sure about, Chaos, the Chao Guardian, has always seemed far too powerful to control and has never really done anything to help Mobius."
"True, but he is truly good at heart, he was merely enraged because of the atrocity brought on the Chao and the Master Emerald Shrine by your ancestors."
"Yes, you're right about that. Then there is Shadow The Hedgehog, a genetically synthetic life form created by Julian Kintobor's own grandfather. His mind is highly unstable and he never can seem to make up his mind what side he's on."
"Correct, but he is ultimately turned to help the forces of good by his rememberance of Julian's cousin who died helping him. He made a promise to her to protect Mobius. I believe he will always honor that promise in the end."
"Perhaps, but then there is the Gizoid, an ancient weapon that has brought nothing but mass destruction in the past."
"That is behind him now, his friendship to Sonic, Cream, and the others now dictates his actions."
"Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no consistency in these creatures which gives me reason to doubt that we have the right ones. Until we know we do I don't believe we should reveal to them a destiny that may not be theirs."
"Yes, but time is something we have in short supply. You're the one that told me that. How long do you think it will be before the Ancient Walkers are gone and Mobius becomes more vulnerable than it has ever been."
"I'm afraid our time is already up, or rather theirs is."
"You mean . . ."
"I'm afraid so, I exist before you now in my physical form because I can no longer draw power from the Ancient Walkers. The Ancient Walker, great guardians of Mobius, are no more. You are right, old friend. Time . . . is something we no longe have. The time for the all the ultimate heroes of Mobius to arise is now."
"Then what of the one that is unknown ? Have we gotten any farther in figuring out who he may be ?" inquires Merlin.
"Possibly, I think I know who SHE might be." replies Athair.
"She ?!"
"She, you know of the special power that the royal family of Acorn receives from the Sword of Acorns and the Crown ?"
"Yes, they refer to it as the 'Source of All'."
"Right, this 'Source', this special power which has been passed down through the generations could be derived from the Ancient Walkers or directly through the Chaos Emeralds. Also, the 'Source' is stronger in young Princess Sally than any other monarch that came before. I believe the power she unleashes through the Sword of Acorn may be pure Chaos energy. The Sword may be a conductor for her powers."
"As strange as that sounds, it makes perfect sense. Then we have it then ! We know the seven new Ancient Walkers . . . or . . . perhaps, the 'Modern Walkers' ? We should tell them then, we should begin to train them in the full extent of their powers."
Athair then lowers his head in despair. "There is . . . one problem."
"What ?" asks Merlin.
"The princess gave the sword to the spider ninja children of Uma Arachnis."
"Oh, that is a problem. Then, she will simply have to get it back."
"Actually, there is another problem. The princess does not want the sword."
"What ?! Why, its a priceless heirloom of her culture and heritage ?!"
"The sword spoke to her of her future and her destiny and she feared it. She is afraid of destiny."
"Then we must help her overcome her fear !" cries Merlin.
"We must !" exclaimes Athair.

Chapter III : The Final Quest for the Sword of Acorns ~ Part 1 : Old Grudges

"So let me get this straight," Sally begins "you mean to tell me that I have to go and get the Sword of Acorns back ? No, I refuse !"
Athair, Merlin, and Tikal plead with her. "Please, your highness, you must understand that your kingdom needs you, as their future queen, to do this," Tikal says.
"That's right," adds Merlin "without the Ancient Walkers Mobius is now more vulnerable than ever."
"We are not quite sure of this but we do have confidence that the seven, Sonic, Miles, Knuckles, Shadow, Chaos, Gizoid, and you are destined to be Mobius' only hope in its time of greatest need. Together, you can protect Mobius from anything . . . and anyone," continues Athair.
King Acorn then interrupts, "Dear, if what they say is true then the future of Mobius rests on your decision whether or not to accept your calling."
"Father, you yourself said that I could not fight alongside Sonic and be queen at the same time."
"Then perhaps, I was wrong."
For all that night Sally contemplates what this all means. Actually, she is not quite sure what it all means. All she knows is that the choice is before her to accept great power and protect all that she loves or to remain afraid and let Mobius fall to ruin should a great and powerful evil come to destroy it. Finally, in the middle of the night she sneaks out of the palace and goes to the edge of the forest. She climbs the stairs to the great new shielded wall of their borders. There at the top of the wall she is startled to see the guards have left this portion of the wall and standing before her is Sonic The Hedgehog.
"I knew you wouldn't let me down," Sonic says as he grins.
"Sonic ! You knew I was coming ?" Sally asks.
"I had a hunch, back in action together again, eh Sal ?"
"I suppose so, we'd better get moving."
"I was hoping you'd say that, here we go !"
Sally holds tight onto Sonic as he leaps off the wall and goes speeding off into the night. They head off for the ost likely place they can think of for Arachninjas to hang out, the Forbidden Zone. Essentially being Mobius' underworld, the Forbidden Zone is inhabited by thugs, mercenaries, bounty hunters, treasure hunters, crime lords, and any other scum you could think of. As they proceed cautiously through the filthy streets they come across a seedy bar. They go inside seeking information. What they find is a fight ! Both the Freedom Fighters are wearing cloaks to conceal their identity the best they can. Sonic sits down at a table while Sally goes to speak with the bartender. At the bar, to Sonic's left sits a scruffy looking cat of some sort. He glances at Sonic and then erupts with anger.
"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ! ! You filthy scoundrel !"
"What, who're you calling filthy, dude ? When's the last time you had a bath, I thought cats were supposed to be clean."
"You don't remember me, Sonic ? Well, I could never forget you ! The person who made my life miserable, does the name Machiko Cheetah ring a bell, Freedom Fighter ?!"
"Muh . . . MACHIKO ?! No way !"
"Yes way ! Boy, have I waited for this day !" Machiko jerks a short sword out of its sheath in fury and dashes at Sonic at amazing speed.
"YIKES !" Sonic flips backward bringing his chair in front of him and it gets whacked into kindling by Machiko's savage attack.
Its at this time that Sally notices the fight, "WHAT ON MOBIUS IS GOING ON HERE ?!" she yells. "Sonic, can't you go anywhere without getting in a fight."
Sonic is jumping all over the room evading each attack by no more than an inch. "Let's get out of here !" he yells.
Sally leaps in between the two and delivers a chest shattering jump kick to Machiko and he is thrown back into the wall and knocked unconscious.
"Whoo ! I love you !" Sonic exclaimes.
"I know," Sally replies. "Come on, the bartender told me there's a bat on the outskirts of town who might know where to find the Arachninjas."
The couple head out of the bar and into a dark forest. The trees are so close that almost no sunlight can be seen through them. As they squeeze through the tight quarters they get the feeling they're being followed. Just as they're about to stop and look around an arrow with black-feathered flights and tip with three points like cat's claws narrowly misses taking Sonic's ear to the nearby trees with it.
"Oh no . . . don't tell me," Sonic complains.
"I don't have time to, anyways. RUN !" Sally screams.
"Would if I could, princess. Hey, wait a minute."
Another arrow brushes by Sonic's spines.
"We don't have a minute ! !"
Sonic grabs Sally and leaps up through a small opening in the trees as another arrow zips by his leg. He now balances himself on top of the branches as yet another arrow snags his glove as it goes by. With Sally clinging to him he tries his best to jump from branch to branch until Machiko, a natural climber, pops up right in front of him with his bow in hand ready to fire another arrow right at Sonic's head.
"Look, Machiko, can't we work this out . . . uh . . . non-violently."
"'Fraid not, hedgehog. I've waited too long for this."
Sally, confused, then asks "Sonic, what is he talking about ?"
"Well I . . ."
Machiko interrupts "So, you haven't told your pampered princess girlfriend about me. I figured you would've gloated to everyone about cheating to win the race that sent me out of Knothole Village."
"I was young and immature and I really regret that. I never did anything to hurt you, though."
"You really don't think so ? Do you have any idea how hard it was to survive out here ? I guess not, what sickens me is every time you're praised as some great hero who helps everyone. They don't know the whole story, do they ? Well, 'Sonic The Hedgehog was a hero to all except one' will look just peachy on your tombstone."
Just then, Sally pulls out a blaster and shoots Machiko's bow, splitting it in two. He's thrown off balance and falls back to the ground and is knocked out again when his head hits a rock.
"Whoa !" Sonic gasps. "I guess cats don't always land on their feet and WHERE did you get the gun ?!"
"The bartender gave it to me, we'd better keep going."

Chapter IV : The Final Quest for the Sword of Acorns ~ Part 2 : Getting on the Right Track

As Sally and Sonic leave the scummy city they find what they're looking for, a small cave on the outskirts. They enter the cave and down from the ceiling leaps a flying fox, a bat with features like a fox and a massive wingspan. Before they can say anything he speaks. "Well, if it isn't the greatest hero on Mobius and the heir to the throne of Acorn. My name is Adrik. What brings you here ?"
Sally the answers, "Sonic and I have come to you for information regarding the whereabouts of the children of Uma Arachnis. Can you help us ?"
"Indeed I can, however, I don't give information out without receiving some in return. Why do you seek them ?"
Sally hesitates for a moment then decides to level with the bat. "We have come to retrieve the Sword of Acorns. It is imperative to the future of Mobius."
"What ?! Why'd you give it to them in the first place then ?"
"I . . . don't really know. Please, will you tell us ?"
"Yeah, I always try to maintain neutrality but I do suppose I owe some allegiance to the Kingdom of Acorn. To tell the truth, I could only point you in the right direction where the Arachninjas are concerned but since its the sword you're after I can give you its exact location."
"YOU CAN ?!" Sonic gasps.
"I can, you see, Uma Arachnis' children possessed the genetic memory of their mother's desire to attain the Sword of Acorns. It was almost like a sort of hereitary programming, only thing is, they had no idea why they wanted it. So, they took it to the ruler of Dragon Kingdom."
"Monkey Khan ?" Sonic asks.
"No, they have a new ruler, one who is an expert swordsman among his many other talents. He lives in a castle in a well-protected canyon. I'll show you the place, are you ready ?"
"As we'll ever be !" they say together.

The three travelers set out west to the shoreline until they reach a ship that they stow aboard and go across the sea on. They still have miles ahead once they sneak off but they eventually find a small pass into a huge canyon. Adrik The Bat bids them farewell and flies back home and Sonic and Sally proceed through the canyon pass. Adrik had known very little about this area so they had to expect the worse but they never expected the unpleasant surprise that awaited them. A voice then call out to them from a ledge on the canyon walls. "Who goes there ?" but Sonic and Sally deliver no reply. Then as they are identified they identify the one who called to them, Machiko Cheetah ! "What ? You again ! Ready your bows !" Behind the cheetah is a legion of Echidna and Cat warriors ready to send a shower of arrows down on the two.
"Oh man, how did he know we were coming here ?" Sonic inquires to Sally.
"I don't think he did, I think we were just both heading to the same place." Sally pulls the blaster she received from the bartender back out and fires at her attackers and they retreat back behind the ledge. Then, the two come near a river and contemplate how they are going to cross it.
"The same way I do everything, Sal . . . FAST !" Sonic races back to get a head start then comes speeding up behind Sally who grabs on just in time as Sonic begins to race at high speed across the water. As they defy gravity they are bombarded by cannon fire from ships at rest in the river. Miraculously, the reach the other side in one piece. They head into the unguarded castle and at the end of a long hallway they see a cloaked figure.
"Welcome, your highness. I'm sorry for that misunderstanding outside, it would seem the captain of my guards has some sort of grudge against your fiance. I can imagine why you're here, you've come for the sword."
"Yes, who are you, though ? We were not informed the Dragon Kingdom had a new ruler."
"I am its rightful ruler, just as long ago the Dragon Kingdom is now ruled by . . . a Dragon. I am Leonadus."
"You're a Dragon !"
"Yes," he replies as he heads to the treasury and picks something up and brings it to the princess. "I believe this belongs to you, I hope you find your destiny, your majesty."
"Th . . . thank you !" The sword begins to glow wildly and then . . .
"I knew you wouldn't abandon me for long, princess. You've done the right thing."

Chapter V : The Final Quest for the Sword of Acorns ~ Part 3 : The Window into the Future

After just hearing the sword speak to her once again as it had before she gave it up, Sally starts to have second thoughts about the entire quest.
"You know your destiny, Sally. Accept it, become the greatest monarch your planet has ever known !"
"I . . ." hesistates Sally.
Sonic is startled when he hears the princess "Huh ? Did you say something, Sal' ?"
"Go ahead, tell him. Don't you think he, of all people, deserves to know the truth ?"
"I guess you're right."
"You guess I'm right about what ?" Sonic asks, confused.
"Sonic, the sword can speak to me. Its told me things about the future, I was scared of it, that's why I gave it up in the first place. I didn't want to know the future."
"Whoa ! No kidding ?"
"I suspected it might have been something like that," Leonadus interrupts "the sword is more than just a conductor of pure Chaos Energy, it would appear to have some sort of essence to it. The sword belongs to you, princess. It will obey no one else, it is of no use to me or any other person."
"You're right, the sword belongs to me and I have to accept it. It is my responsiblity, my destiny." Sally says.
"So, where to now, Sal' ?" asks Sonic.
"Home."

Sonic and Sally bid farewell to Leonadus and make their way to the small village in Dragon Kingdom. There was little long-range communication ability yet they were able to get word to Mobotropolis and arrange for Antoine to pick the up in the FFS (Freedom Fighter Special). While they're waiting they go for a walk through the beautiful country. Sally decides to examine the sword when suddenly its energy engulfs her and she begins to have another strange vision like she did long ago shortly before she gave the sword up. The Sword of Acorns and the Crown of Acorns have always had the ability to give all the monarchs through the generations limited foresight but nothing like what Sally has experienced. Through the power of Chaos Control the sword opens many windows into the past, present, and future. With this power Sally then witnesses a horrific sight. At first she thinks its a vision from the past when Doctor Ivo Robotnik first took over. She sees his massive flagship soar over the Great Forest bringing darkness to the entire Kingdom of Acorn. Only this is nothing like Robotnik's first take over. This is a massive invasion which she fully understands when she views legions upon legions upon legions of Swat-Bots, Com-Bots, Shadow-Bots, War-Bots, huge mechs, massive artillery, and swarms of Robo-Pod Fighters and Bombers making their way into the quickly vanishing forests. Its an army built for but a single purpose, not to take over Mobius' civilizaions, but to destroy them. It is literally an ocean of metal minions moving towards the kingdom to annihilate it ! Sally's heart races and almost stops when her vision takes her inside Robotnik's flagship and right up to Robotnik himself, who looks as hideous as ever. She watches immobilized in fear as he activates a strange weapon built into the flagship, a dark glow forms around everything in sight and then . . . nothing but darkness.

"Sally ! Sal', wake up ! Sally, speak to me ! !" Sonic yells frantically as he shakes Sally's motionless body.
Then she twitches violently and wakes back up and gasps. "AAAH ! ! Sonic ! Oh Sonic, it was horrible."
"What ? What is it ?"
"It was . . . the future !"
"What did you see ?"
Sally tells Sonic exactly what she saw just as the FFS lands right in front of them. The step into the ship and head for the cockpit where Antoine, Bunnie, and Tails are waiting for them.
"Bonjour, your highness. I see your quest was successful, magnifique !"
"More so than you know, Antoine. We have work to do."
"Ain't we gonna be headin' fo' home now, sugah ?" asks Bunnie.
"Soon, but first I think we should head for Angel Island."
"Angel Island ? What for, Aunt Sally ?" inquires Tails.
"Answers."

Chapter VI : The Plan of the Ancient Walkers

After contacting home to inform them of their new destination the Freedom Fighters head straight for the floating paradise of Angel Island. Within no time they enter Haven's radar. Princess Sally sends the royal identification signal and Thunderhawk issues acceptance.
"Welcome back, your highness. This is an unexpected visit, may I ask why we have been accorded this honor."
"How I wish for once we could meet on pleasant circumsances, Guardian Thunderhawk. I'm afraid I bring tidings of grave danger which I desperately need to discuss with the full Brotherhood of Guardians, including Knuckles, can that be arranged ?"
"It can and will be, your majesty. Simply land your craft where you please and we will arrive to escort you to Haven. Everyone else is more than welcome to join you."
"Thank you, sir."

After taking time to land at Haven's Launch Base Zone the Freedom Fighters are greeted by Knuckles and his father, Locke. "Nice to see ya again, Sally. You too, hedgehog." Knuckles says."
"Great to be here, Rad Red !" chuckles Sonic. "So, I finally get to check out this Haven place, huh ?
"Yes," begins Locke "you are all worthy to be admitted in Haven. Things have changed, nowadays. Now, let us go ahead there. I believe the Brotherhood is already assembled."

Once they're seated Sally begins to descibe what she saw through the power of the sword. "It is a good thing my father thought ahead and organizd the creation of M.E.D.O but I don't believe it will be enough. I recently spoke with Athair, one your former guardians, he told us about what he had learned from the powerful beings known as the Ancient Walkers and he believed that seven heroes, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Emerl, Chaos, and myself, are destined to be Mobius' greatest defense against such a peril. We have completed the first step by retrieving the Sword of Acorns, which Athair believed to be a conductor of pure Chaos energy, I've come to all of you in hopes of discovering where we go from here. Well ?"
Knuckles' granfather, Sabre, stands up to speak. "My father taught me some of the Tomes which I, in turn, shared my son Locke. The Brotherhood has never really got along with Athair, he abandoned his duty as guardian long ago which brought about the death of his mother; Janelle-Li, we haven't ever really spoken to each other nor shared theories about the Ancient Walkers. I'm afraid we don't know how to help you in this matter, princess. It is Athair you need to talk to."
"Athair told us all he knew when we last met, that is why we now search for answers elsewhere. Is there no one else that may know of this matter."
"Tikal," Knuckles proclaimed "she knows some about the Chaos Emeralds."
"Tikal was with Athair when we last met, I doubt there's anything she knows that she hasn't told Athair."
"You're probably right . . . but maybe . . . Chaos."
"Chaos ?!" Sally says stunned.
"Tikal is the only one who can understand him though no one knows how or why, perhaps there is something he knows that we don't. He has been around for hundreds of years, all this time at the Shrine of the Master Emerald, whether in the emerald or guarding it and the other Chao."
"That does sound promising, then let's go speak to Tikal and Chaos."

The Freedom Fighters and Knuckles go to the Shrine of the Master Emerald and speak to Chaos with Tikal translating. "He says, 'At last, you come seeking the truth and your destiny, our destiny. Indeed, there are seven great heroes who shall be the champions of Mobius, I believe you are correct in who you suspect them to be, but there is only one way to find out. The encantation known by Tikal has been handed down through the generations of her family. I was there when it was taught to one of her ancestors by the Ancient Walkers. It was about that same time I underwent my transformation from a normal Light Chao to a being made of water. The servers are the seven Chaos, Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart, the controller serves to unify the Chaos. The number seven is the same as the number of Super Emeralds there are. The Super Emeralds are our destiny. We are the servers and the servers are the seven Chaos. The seven Chaos are also the seven Super Emeralds. Each Emerald has a Server, a hero, a champion. When the seven Super Emeralds are unified by the controller so too will we be unified. Gather the seven Super Emeralds and restore them to the Shrine of the Master Emerald and we will find our power.'"

Just then, Sally's computer Nicole interrupts "Sally, there is an urgent message coming from Mobotropolis !"
"Patch it through," commands the princess.
Nicole projects an image of Sonic's uncle, "Princess Sally, our scouts have recently reported that there is a massive army marching towards Mobotropolis ! You must return immediately, we will also need ALL our allies ! Please ask those there at Angel Island to help and I will contact the rest. Hurry !"

Chapter VII : Danger on the Horizon

A few minutes earlier, M.E.D.O. Troopers are patrolling the west portion of the shield wall that surrounds the Kingdom of Acorn. "Say Jeff, what're we doin' here ?" One soldier says to another.
"What are you talking about, Riley ?" he replies.
"Look at us, wasting our time here guarding the wall when no one is ever going to attack. Robotnik II was destroyed, there is no war yet we're acting like there is."
"Its our job, our duty to guard this part of the wall."
"Why ? Nothing ever happens, nothing is ever going to happen."
"You can't be too sure."
Then their captain shows up, "Well, if you're so bored up here why don't you take over for the next scout."
"Maybe I will, it beats rotting up here forever." The trooper heads down to the gate, mounts a sky cycle and takes off into the grasslands to the west of the wall. "Crazy King Acorn, creating an army when there's no enemy. I'll never understand him. This is Riley, there's no more action out here than is on that stupid wall. In fact, I . . . I . . ." ZOOORRCH ! !
"Riley, RILEY ! What was that ? Riley, come in !" shouts the other soldier frantically over the communicator. "I better go check on him."
"Be careful, we don't know what happened," warns the captain.
The other soldier heads out on his sky cycle cautiously. Just as he reaches the top of a hill he sees it. The very same horror that Princess Sally saw just minutes earlier. "Scout to base, scout to base ! !"
Sir Charles at the Mobotropolis Command Center responds, "I read you, scout. What have you got for me, son ?"
"Its . . . its . . . an army ! A gigantic robot army ! ! I can't even see where it ends ! You'd better sound the alarm and get the shields running at full, the Kingdom of Acorn is under full-scale attack !"
Sir Charles doesn't take a second to hesitate, he activates the shields, sounds the alarm, and orders all the citizenry to take to the underground shelters and all military personnel to report to their designated stations. It is also at this time that he contacts the Freedom Fighters to return home. Doctor Eggman immediately gets his forces ready as well. The plan is for Eggman's weaker robots to stall the attack long enough for everyone to get ready since they're very expendable and easily replaced. Then, all troops get set at the wall with around a third placed in front of the wall, another third behind it, and the rest dispersed to detect and hold an attack from another area while the others move to where they are needed. During this, the Tornado Squadron and the Egg Carrier Mark III and its crew would take turns to thin out the opposing army. They all follow through with the plan as Shadow The Hedgehog shows up in the nick of time to assist them. Just as Eggman's robot force is nearly destroyed, Shadow goes on a mad spin dash through the opposing army. Spinning at incredible speed, Shadow acts as a small bowling ball knocking the thousands upon thousands of robot pins away. When the action gets too intense he uses Chaos Control and returns to the wall to rest for a moment. Now, Eggman arrives in the Egg Carrier Mark III and utilizes its super laser cannon to decimate a large portion of the enemy robots. As the cannon recharges its not long before swarms of Robo-Pod Fighters begin to engulf the vessel in laser fire. The crew of the Egg Carrier, the twenty-four E-100 Series Guard Robots spring into action firing their homing missiles at the enemy aircraft. The onslaught is so fierce Eggman has no choice but to retreat for the time being or risk the Egg Carrier III being destroyed.

Chapter VIII : The Great Battle of Mobius

The M.E.D.O. Troopers begin to engage the Swat-Bots, Com-Bots, Shadow-Bots, War-Bots, and all other types of soldiers that make up the endless army of robots. This is the M.E.D.O. Troopers first real battle although many were already veterans from the Royal Guard, but nothing could prepare anyone for this battle. Each trooper has their own personal shield but many had already had their shields worn down from the constant blaster fire. Already there were casualties, the forces of good were impossibly outnumbered. Not a moment too soon the Freedom Fighter Special enters the unfriendly skies and wings its way to the city. Behind it, though, many E.S.T. hovercrafts begin landing on the battlefield where they drop off troops and then head into the city as well. Dingoes also arrive as does the sophisticated military of Station Square, G.U.N. with Rouge The Bat leading the charge. The merry folk of the Land of Mercia add to the protection of the forest and many other allies arrive with their own small armies. The battle has finally begun, the battle of all battles that had ever been fought on the planet Mobius. Tails and his Tornado Squadron take off and begin to engage the enemy aircraft as well as fire upon the enemy troops down below. Sonic and Shadow go off together and spin dash through the ranks of enemy troops, they seem to thin them out but for every robot they destroy at least four more take its place. Emerl copies their tactics and joins in the fun spin dashing away. Knuckles and Chaos fight fiercely to stop the advance of the army to no avail. Princess Sally issues orders from atop the wall but eventually she and most of the troops are forced to retreat as artillery break through the shields with their relentless barrage of attacks. Just when the shield opens up a tiny bit another blast from the artillery finds its mark and shatters the wall killing several soldiers who had still been working to maintain the wall. The many allied armies then form together behind the gap in the wall to keep the enemy from pushing through but even when all together they are still outnumbered four to one. The heroes; Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Chaos, Emerl, and Sally go where they are needed and turn the tide of battle in that area then move on to the next. Sonic and Shadow go insane with their spin dashes, homing attacks, and lightspeed attacks. Knuckles and Chaos blow down scores of robots like dominoes with their punches. Tails uses his rapid tails attack and Sally uses wide swing of her sword to slice through all the robots surrounding them. Emerl goes to and fro copying all these moves and inventing some of his own. The M.E.D.O. Troopers fight valiantly against the overwhelming odds as do G.U.N.'s commandos, the E.S.T. officers, the Dingo militants, the skilled warriors from Mercia and all others involved in the battle. Despite all this, the endless army of evil robots push their way through the forest and into the city devasting everything in their path. Even Knothole City is penetrated, the forest has been nearly leveled by the battle. Just when all begins to seem hopeless Athair appears by young Tails.

"The time of the Chosen One is at hand, young one. This battle will never be won through strength of arms alone. Only you can call forth the Super Chaos Emeralds to you and have them do the bidding of your and your fellow heroes."

Tails instinctlively begins to concentrate, the air around him gleams with green and the seven Super Emeralds slowly glide down to the battlefield from the skies above. The blue emerald hovers down in front of Sonic, the green one in front of Tails, the red one to Knuckles, the yellow one comes to Shadow, Emerl gets the white one, Chaos gets the aquamarine one, and the purple floats down to Sally. As each hero simultaneously grab their emerald they all begin to change. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow become their super forms, Chaos becomes Chaos 2, Emerl gains some of his ultimate skills, and Sally's skills with the Sword of Acorns greatly improve. Hope is kindled.

Chapter IX : Hope Grows and Hope Fades

A few moments ago the battle seemed like it would be the doom of all innocent people on Mobius. Now things have changed, everyone is given new reason to hope as Super Sonic, Super Tails, Super Knuckles, Super Shadow, Chaos 2, Emerl and Sally with more advanced abilities are wiping out the opposing army with breath-taking swiftness. Unlike all the times they achieved their super forms before, in which they could only maintain them for a short while and depend on Power Rings to sustain them longer, this time their power only grows and it is not long before they achieve their hyper forms. They continue to gain energy even after that as Chaos transforms from Chaos 2 to Chaos 4 and then to Chaos 6. Emerl continues to regain more and more of his ultimate skills and the Sword of Acorns glows with a nearly blinding white light as Princess Sally shreds through her enemies. Their magnificient display of power rages on as Athair and Tikal watch in awe. "It is finally happening, the Ancient Walkers chose their successors well. They may just have a chance to save Mobius," Athair states.
"How can you say that ?" Tikal asks worriedly. "All I see happening is destruction and utter chaos."
"Maybe it is better to start anew then allow what we had to fall into possession of evil."

Finally, the battle appears to be won, the entire robot army has been destroyed and the, normal once gain, heroes stand on a field of victory. Only one thing remains, to deal with the gargantuan flagship that still looms overhead and whoever may dwell inside it.

"Well," Sonic sighs "time to bring down 'da fat man." Tails readies his electric ball cannon, Shadow dons his strongest blaster weapon, Eggman charges the power laser in the Egg Typhoon, and all the remaining M.E.D.O. Troopers and the E-100 Crew prepare their missile launchers and all fire upon the flagship overshadowing them. The vessel makes no evasive action nor counter attack, it simply takes the onslaught until it can take no more and crashes down to the empty plains below it.
"Alright everyone," Sally commands to the troops "we'll take it from here." Eggman and the others proceed back to what is left of the kingdom.
"This is it," says Shadow when they reach the bay doors of the ship "behind here most likely exists the villain responsible for all this." With one powerful punch Chaos blows a hole through the door and the seven climb into the ship. They fight a few more straggling Swat-Bots as they race through the halls looking for the control room. Finally, they reach the control room.
"Alright, Robuttnik Mack III or whatever you want to call yourself. Get out here and face the music ! I don't know how you survived when all the other zones were destroyed but you can join them in their non-existence !" Sonic demands.

Shortly after Sonic's words are spoken the chair at the controls turn around and they come face to face with their enemy. "Three, you say ? Oh come now, hedgehog. You face not a new enemy with ambitions to conquer Mobius but an old adversary. I am the one, true, Doctor Ivo Robotnik !"
"What ?! How, you died !?!"
"Died ? How foolish you are puny blue one, I never died from the effects of the Ultimate Annihilator Cannon. It was all part of the plan, Snively played his part quite well I think. With the dimension splitting power of the cannon I was able to retreat long enough to create my army. Once I enlisted in the aid of my ally, Ixis Naugus, things began to go quite well in my Zone of Silence."
"Huh, you gotta be kidding me ?" Sonic blurts out in disbelief.
"Now hedgehog, we both know you are the comedian here. I am devoid of humor, I tell you truth."
"That's debatable, either way your precious army has been scrapped Robuttnik !"
"Indeed, things have not gone quite as planned since I returned. It is of no concern, though. I will have my victory, for this was only the beginning. I gather from your new found powers that the lot of you have been studying what was left behind by the Ancient Walkers . . . so have I ? Are you aware that the Ancient Walkers, in their time so long ago, had a terrible enemy. Probably some sort of dinosaur or other prehistoric creature like they, this enemy had also mastered the energies of the Chaos Emeralds. Just as the Ancient Walkers have adapted the seven Super Emeralds for all of you to use this pure evil creature had adapted an emerald of his own. He was never able to use it, though. The Ancient Walkers defeated him but the Black Emerald was not destroyed."
"The Black Emerald," gasps Knuckles "but it doesn't possess any power. I've encountered."
"Of course you could never use if, fool. It has no positive energy in it at all. Only one who is pure evil can unlock its secrets."
The seven heroes nervously look at each other and back at Robotnik.
"Yes," Robotnik laughes "the Black Emerald was meant to belong to me and so does it !" Robotnik presses a button on a control panel and it reveals the Black Emerald connected to a strange device. "There it is, I will use the dark energies of the emerald to make Mobius how I want it. There will be no limit to my power ! !"
"Not if we have anything to say about it, Robotnik !" Sally cries and then Knuckles lunges forward with his strongest punch aimed right at the Black Emerald but as soon as he comes in physical contact with it he is thrown back into the back wall of the control room unconscious. "Knuckles !"
"This time I cannot lose, you are doomed to endure a life of torture as my robotic slaves." Robotnik activates the device and the Black Emerald begins to glow with a dark ominous black light. "The emerald's energies are infinite and it will not stop before every living thing on this planet falls to a 'metal death' !"
"Its a global roboticizer ! !" screams Sally in horror.
"That's right, princess. I shall enjoy seeing you and your father bow to me. Now . . . let the cycle begin." Suddenly, the device connected to the Black Emerald hums furiously and a dark wave of energy begins to emerge from it. Chaos picks up the unconscious Knuckles and the seven all blast their way out of the ship and make their way as far from it as they can get as they see the energy wave behind them begin to grow into an enormous shockwave making everything it passes a lifeless object of metal. Sonic contacts everyone in the Kingdom of Acorn via his communicator and informs them to retreat as far as they can. Only its no use, the dark shockwave picks up speed as it frees itself from the ship and already hundreds of M.E.D.O. Troopers fall and are roboticized. Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Chaos, Emerl, Sally, and the now awake Knuckles continue to run as fast as they can but they know there is nowhere to run or hide.

"What do we do ?" asks Emerl frantically.
"I don't know." answers Sally.
"Our only hope . . ." starts Knuckles "lies at the Shrine of the Master Emerald. Hopefully, there we can use the combined power of the seven Super Emeralds and the Master Emerald to stop the power of the Black Emerald."
"That is my only suggestion also," says Athair who has now joined them. "Maybe . . . if you all recite the verse that activates the neutralizing power of the Master Emerald with the added enery of the Super Emeralds it will be enough."
"At what price ?" Sonic cries "by the time we reach the Emerald Altar all of our family and friends will be mindless robots under Robotnik's control and Mobius will be a desolate wasteland. It'll be too late ! What will we have left ?"
Sonic's words are then realized by all of them but Sally chockes back her tears and says to Sonic, "We'll have each other." At that note, the shockwave begins to catch up with them as they draw near to the coastline. Shadow then activates Chaos Control and they all warp through time and space to the landmass just below the airborne Angel Island. To their greatest horror they see the shockwave still approaching behind them as they make their way on top of the floating landmass.

Finally, they come to the shrine and can still see the darkness approaching in the distance. They all climb to the pillar with their corresponding Super Emerald and begin to recite the verse. "The servers are the seven Chaos, Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart, the controller serves to unify the Chaos." The seven Super Emeralds and the hero upon each one along with the Master Emerald all glow with a brilliant light as the shockwave comes to a close around the altar and then vanishes. Tails raises his head and looks around. "We did it !" Though it is not long before their lifted spirits plummet into sorrow again as they see that as far as they can see there is no living thing to be found. They had stopped the dark energy from reaching them and the shrine but that was it. Everywhere else on Mobius, the only thing that still lives is the vile creature that brought this upon their world. Sonic, with tears in his eyes and a burning rage in his heart, turns his gaze in the direction whence they came and says sofly and solemnly "Robotnik."
