I've seen that this very obscure comic is not on the site even though it's somewhat of a sabrina and Sonic the hedgehog crossover. I have scans to that short comic so, anyone object in posting that in the Specials section or something?

I wasn't sure weather or not to put this on off topic or not, but it is about Sonic and his games so... Since ive been lurking on the forums here ive been noticing people discussing what they liked and/or didn't like about certain Sonic games. Even though some people's comments have given bold points on what they want there is never a specific answer, so I wanted to ask... What do you guys want in a Sonic game?

[Scourge of Speed, Part I] It was nightfall in Central City, the capital of the United Federation. a storm had descended upon the metropolis, bombarded the many human citizens with heavy, frozen rain. as the citizens went about their business..the rainfall suddenly slowed, and briefly paused. Suddenly, twin streaks of light blurred down the highway. scaring some people. one was blue, and the other was green. the streaks sped down the city streets, effortlessly zig-zagging around cars and people. the blue and green streaks soon began to bash into each other, creating shockwaves in their wake. the green streak then broke away to another street..leaving the blue streak speeding alone. the blue streak finally stopped at an empty four-way street..revealing itself to be a hedgehog. a Mobian hedgehog wearing red-and-white sneakers, matching shorts and white gloves. his emerald green eyes darted around as he looked in all directions. "now, where'd he go-GAAH!!" a green blur suddenly hit Sonic from behind, knocking him down. as he looked up, he saw a green hedgehog clad in black leather and red sunglasses approach him. the hedgehog looked ALOT like him. "gotcha, blue." said Scourge. Sonic grumbled as he rose up, facing his evil twin. "What are you DOING here, Scourge!!?" demanded Sonic, angrily. Scourge smirked smugly as he pushed up on his sunglasses. "oh, not much. terrorizing people, spreading Chaos and Mayhem. leaving YOU to eat my dust..the usual." Sonic gritted his teeth, growling low. Scourge then snickered as he continued to speak. "Well, Actually..I *do* have something important to do: Reclaiming some "lost property." "Lost Property?!" said Sonic, puzzled (and, mildly annoyed.) "My girlfriend. You know' Fiona." Sonic scowled darkly at Scourge. "oh, COME ON. Don't be like that." began Scourge. "She double-crossed you, and your stupid friends. you have no reason to do her any favors." "It's true, she did betray us." said Sonic, solemnly. "she betrayed me..and, my best bud. (looks at Scourge) but, just because I don't like her..It doesn't mean I won't protect her from you." Scourge made a *gagging* gesture. "Your self-righteous nobility is revolting, you know that? Good god, your about to turn me GREENER than usual, here!" Sonic lunged after Scourge, attempting to punch him. but, Scourge simply side-stepped at super speed, evading the attack. he then swung kicked Sonic in the back of the head. Sonic fell to the ground again. he groaned, feeling dizzy from his mild concussion. Scourge just smirked as he looked down at his counterpart. finding his weak and vulnerable state amusing. "I could do this all day, you know." began Scourge, as he pressed his boot against Sonic's back. "Nothing makes me feel better than tearing your ego down, and proving how better I am than you.  BUT, I am feeling generous..for ONCE. So, just tell me where Fiona is. and, I *MIGHT* leave you alone." Sonic groaned as he tried to rise up. "n-nnn-Never." Scourge grinned evilly. "Have It YOUR way." Scourge grabbed the back of Sonic's head, and rose him up. as he readied to bash the blue hedgehog's head into the concrete pavement..the falling rain suddenly slowed. Scourge paused, and looked around as the hundreds of raindrop suddenly froze in mid-air. "what in th-ERRK!!" Scourge was suddenly struck in the head by what felt like a punch from Sgt. Simian. he was knocked backwards, and skidded along the pavement. the green hedgehog looked, and saw what looked like a red lightning bolt departing. Sonic also looked..and, saw Scourge's red sunglasses laying on the ground near him. one of the lens was broken, the other showed visible cracks. As Scourge rose back up, the red lightning bolt returned. It passed Scourge several times, inflicting blow-after-blow upon him with each pass. the last pass flung him away again. knocking him flat on his back. Angry, Scourge quickly got up, and saw the red lightning bolt speed off, then suddenly stop. he stared at what appeared to be a red humanoid with glowing red eyes. neither Scourge, nor Sonic could properly make him out. as his body appeared to be blurry. but, ONE thing was apparent: Whoever It was, It was a speedster..and, It was HUMAN. "who..WHAT *ARE* YOU!!?" exclaimed Scourge, enraged. the red figure remained silent. which gave Sonic, and even Scourge the creeps. "How are you able move that fast?!" demanded Scourge, again. "and, WHY are you attacking me!!? Don't tell me your another one of Sonic's do-gooder friends." the red figure finally spoke..but, In a distorted, almost demonic sounding voice. (("IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW THAT..YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CATCH ME.")) Scourge glared at his mysterious attacker, shocked and appalled at this "challenge." "WHAT DID YOU SAY!!?" the figure responded by speeding off down the street in a red lightning streak. Scourge immediately gave chase, trailing a bright green energy trail behind him. Once both were gone, Sonic attempted to stand up..but stumbled back down. It was at that moment a yellow lightning bolt sped over to him. Sonic looked up, and saw a human with spiky blonde hair and, dressed in a golden yellow suit and wearing goggles. "b-billy.." mumbled Sonic, still feeling fatigued. Billy lifted his goggles up over his forehead. then, knelt down and helped his mobian friend up onto his feet. "sss-S-Scourge. I was..fighting him, but then something. something FAST, came and-" "yeah." said Billy. "I know." Sonic looked up at Billy. "Do you know what that thing was?" Billy sighed as he frowned, looking down. [Freedom HQ, Station Square] [An Hour Ago..] an automatic door slid opened, and in walked three people. two human males, and one mobian female. "So, what's the situation, Sally?" said Alan Zander. "Scourge, the Evil Sonic, is on a rampage." explained the Mobian Princess. "That sounds like just another Tuesday." replied Alan. "Not this time." said Sally. "We have reason to believe that Scourge has a specific goal in mind." "I trust you have an idea on what that goal is." "yes." said Billy. "Fiona Fox." Alan stopped short at this, and looked at the two. he then walked over to a computer console, and brought up some files on the HD display. the large screen showed images of a female mobian fox. and, varied data regarding said mobian. "Fiona Fox. Mercenary, Thief, Terrorist." began Alan, professionally. "served under the Destructix, and Suppression Squad. currently serving probation under Prowler's watch." "We believe Scourge has come back for her." said Sally. "Does Fiona know?" asked Alan. "No. In fact, when I mentioned Scourge's name, she seemed close to a panic attack." said Sally. "Why's that?, I thought they were "close." "WERE" is the keyword, sir." said Billy. "Based on Fiona's testimony following her *surrender*, Scourge was abusive, controlling and more of an Extremist, than a typical punk." Alan brought up another data file on the computer. "Considering his recent reported activity that has left FIVE towns in ruins, and numerous people dead, injured or missing..I can't really blame her for being scared." Sally grumbled. "look..I am going to be frank, here. I *DON'T* trust Fiona. and, I NEVER approved of the decision to give her community service, instead of life imprisonment. but..as much as I hate her for what she's done, even I shudder to think of what Scourge will do to her if he ever finds her." "I'm more worried about my Step-Son, Sally." said Alan. "now, Where is Sonic??" "Last I heard, he's been hot on Scourge's trail since he passed through Westopolis." said Billy. "Where are they now?!" said Alan, looking at Billy. "Our High Velocity scanners detected two targets headed in the direction of Station Square. BOTH moving well over Mach 1." Alan nodded. "Meaning if Sonic and Scourge aren't here by now..they will be soon." Alan looked at Billy and Sally. "This has to stop. NOW. and, if Scourge really is behaving more aggressive than usual..I don't think Sonic can handle this alone, this time." Billy sighed, looking down. he then stepped up. "I'll go. I'll back Sonic up-" "Billy, NO!" exclaimed Sally, grabbing his hand. "You're still recovering from your recent encounter with Zero. You are in NO Shape to take on that monster!!" "But, Sally!, I-" "I have to agree with the Princess on this one, William." said Alan. "In your current state, Scourge would kill you. you need to be in your PRIME to even have a chance at beating him." Billy looked at his leader. "Then, what do you propose we do!? there are no other Speedsters around that can help us!" "What about Mina?, she's ALSO a speedster." said Sally. "She is also still learning to use her speed. a Trainee, she wouldn't last five seconds." said Alan. "What other choice do we have!?" said Sally, mildly frustrated. Billy was about to say something..when he suddenly paused. tapping his chin, he pondered over something..then, finally spoke up. "actually..Now that I think about It, there is ONE other Speedster that we could turn to." Alan looked at Billy..who gave him a look. "No." "but, Sir-" "NO. It is out of the question!" said Alan, sternly. "I am NOT letting that Monster go free." "He may be our best hope at beating Scourge." retorted Billy. Sally looked at both men, a puzzled look on her face. "who are you talking abou-" "He Is ten times WORSE than Scourge is." argued Alan. "EXACTLY." said Billy. "meaning if anyone can finally put a stop to Scourge's rampage..It's HIM." Alan turned, and faced Billy. "Have you forgotten what happened the LAST TIME he ran free in Station Square!?" said Alan, looking Billy straight in the eye. "Half the city was wrecked, and YOU ended up on life support, DESPITE your hyper-metabolism.  It was AGONY to capture him, and we were lucky to figure out how to CONTAIN him!" "I haven't forgotten anything, sir." said Billy, sternly. "But we're in a desperate situation..we don't have any choice." "EXCUSE Me!!" exclaimed Sally, annoyed. "Could someone PLEASE explain to me what this is all about!?" Both Alan and Billy looked at each other..then, Alan exhaled sharply. "follow me." As Alan walked off, Billy and Sally followed him as instructed. *billy. what are we-* *It's better to show you, than tell you, hon.* Alan and Billy led Sally through a door, and down a long corridor. they soon reached a doorway, and began to walk down a long stairway. when they finally reached the end..they were met up with large security door. "this..this Person you were talking about." began Sally. "He must really be dangerous." Alan glanced at the mobian chipmunk..then, looked away. "you have no idea, Ms. Acorn. but, your about to." as Alan approached the door, Billy did the same. they stood at each side of the door, facing identical consoles. "Ready, Billy?" asked Alan. Billy nodded. "Ready." "Then, on three." began Alan. "One..two..THREE!" Alan and Billy pressed the red buttons in front of them simultaneously. a beeping sound was heard, followed by the door opening with a hissing sound. as the three stepped inside a large chamber..Sally stopped short, and gasped at what she saw. In the center of the room were four metallic arches generating a force field. and, within the dome..was a standing humanoid figure in a red suit whose body looked blurry. Sally has seen something like this before. as a speedster, her husband' Billy, had demonstrated the same "blurred image" ability. but, what REALLY shocked the mobian princess, was how remarkably similar that this figure looked to her husband. In fact, they were almost EXACTLY alike. "b-Billy.." mumbled Sally, still in shock. Billy looked at his wife. "w-Why does the p-person in there look like you??" Before Billy could answer, Alan spoke: "His name is Will. Will Gilvenzan. and, he comes from the same place as Scourge." "Moebius?!" said Sally, looking at Alan. "yes. he is the "Evil Billy." replied Alan. "He appeared around the same time Scourge first started heckling you.  he went STRAIGHT after Billy, with the doubtless intention on killing him.  their fight resulted in 60% of the city being severely damaged, with hundreds of people either dead, or injured." "by the ancient walkers.." muttered Sally, awestruck. "It was a struggle for Billy to even keep up, much less land a hit." continued Alan. "By the time we were finally able to subdue him, Billy was in a state of near death.  even WITH his accelerated healing, we had to put him on life support. took him over TWO WEEKS to recover." Alan finally turned, and faced Billy again. "He almost KILLED you, Billy. and, *YOU* want me to set him loose!?" Billy was silent, bearing an unreadable expression. Finally, he responded to his leader in a stern, calm tone. "If you have a better idea, I am all ears. but, right now..That "Monster" is our best hope at stopping Scourge." "And, what makes you think he'll even cooperate?!" retorted Alan. "Buns Rabbot and Doctor Kintobor aside, the inhabitant of Moebius that we've met thus far HAVEN'T been famous for their Trustworthiness." "Billy." spoke up Sally, who looked at her. "Alan DOES have a point. If this "Will" is worse than Scourge is, we may literally be trading one evil for another." "I can understand that." said Billy. "But, this is the one time I think we CAN trust a Suppression Squadron." "and, why do you think that?" asked Alan. Billy looked back at Alan. "Because..when I fought him seven years ago, he told me How he got his speed, and WHY." Alan crossed his arms. "Alright..I'll humor you: WHY?" "I got my speed because Brass wanted Sonic dead,  and Sobolov used me as a test subject so they could find a way to kill him." began Billy. "Yes, we already know that." "Well, WILL told me *between beatings* that HE forced a scientist in his world to give him super speed.  because he was jealous of Scourge, and wanted to be better than him..at "Everything." Alan raised an eyebrow at this. "Are you saying that Will..your Evil Self, has a personal grudge against Sonic's evil self?!" Billy nodded "Yes." Alan exhaled at this. "wow. That Mirror Universe never ceases to amaze me. You love Sonic like a Brother, and Will apparently hates Scourge's guts." Alan looked at Billy. "So, if Will really does hate Scourge..why did he come after you??" Billy exhaled. "he said..I was the Warm-Up. Practice for the "Main Event." Alan crossed his arms, and exhaled sharply. "It seems almost too good to be true." "It's the Truth, sir." said Billy. "Oh, I believe you, Billy..but, I still don't like the odds." continued Alan. "Even if he DOES go after Scourge, what will stop him from going after YOU, again!?" Billy exhaled sharply. "nothing. But, if we don't do this..Sonic may die, and THEN we'll all be in serious trouble." Alan groaned at this. *yeah..and, Aleena and Bernie will never let me hear the end of It.* Sally walked forward, gazing at the machine that kept her husband's evil counterpart contained. "What is this thing, anyway?!" Alan walked near Sally. "I forget what Professor Thornedyke called It. But, It's suppose to negate speed. trapping anyone in a super slowed state, akin to suspended animation." "How did he even manage to construct something like this at the time of Will's attack??" asked Sally. "Well, I will admit that we lifted the original designs from Sobolov's private notes." said Alan. "He altered the design so it's be more "humane", and less..LETHAL." Sally looked at the machine again. "So, This was going to be used on Billy." "AND, Sonic, eventually." added Alan. Sally looked long and hard at the still blurred visage of Will. while he resembled her dear husband, she had to admit..he made her blood run cold. the red he wore made him look as if he was covered in blood. and, his red goggles only made his eyes seem demonic. Sally grimaced, and swallowed hard. "sally." Sally looked as both Alan and Billy looked at her. "You are the only neutral party here. It's up to you to decide on what we do." Sally looked at Alan..then, Billy. then, WILL..then, Alan again. finally, she sighed sharply. and, spoke up: "Nobody knows just how dangerous these people are more than me..I agree, this Will DOES seem worse than Scourge is. but, that's just It: Will is WORSE than Scourge. He could very well be our damnation, than our "savior." (sighs) but..Billy is right' We are desperate, and don't have the luxury to overlook ANY chance that we might have." Sally looked at Billy. "I don't like this..but, if this is the only way. Then, you have my support, hon." Billy looked at Alan..who, exhaled stressfully. "this is such a mistake." "I'm not arguing that, but-" "I know' We have no choice." said Alan. "I just hope the rest of the world will see It that way." Alan then stood aside. and, gestured his hand over to the control console of the containment unit. "We had this programmed so that only YOU could switch It On and Off, Billy. If you are sure about this..Go for It." Billy looked at his wife..who gave him a warm, but concerned expression. he finally breathed out, and approached the dome where his evil counterpart was being held. he took a moment to look within the dome..and, stared at the blurred visage of his other self. he froze fearfully as memories of his first encounter with him flashed within his mind. "Billy." Billy looked back at Sally..who looked at him warmly. "(whispering) it's okay." Billy smiled weakly. he then huffed as he returned to the console. with his hand shaking, he reluctantly placed his palm upon a glass plate. the place flash as It scanned Billy. "DNA SEQUENCE CONFIRMED: GILVENZAN, WILLIAM NORAN." spoke an electronic voice. "POWER DOWN SEQUENCE ENGAGING." With a hum, the pulsing energy dissipated..and, Will finally collapsed onto the ground. Alan, Billy and Sally all kept their eyes on the now unfrozen, but still contained prisoner as he struggled to get up. as Will stood in a kneeling position, Sally noted that Will had reddish-orange hair, instead of blonde. and, as he lifted his goggles up, she also saw he had Green eyes, instead of blue. Will looked upon his audience..and, grinned. "My letter from the governor finally come in??" said Will, with sarcasm. Sally felt chills run down her spine. despite looking, and sounding like her husband. the way he spoke made her feel..uncomfortable. like being in the same room as a serial killer. Alan walked up, looking at Will. "Will. we are prepared to make you a deal for your freed-" "Yes, I know." began Will, cutting Alan off. "Pineapple Head" is giving you trouble, and you want ME to take him down a notch." Alan looked surprised. "How do you know tha-" "Because while I may have LOOKED frozen in that stupid machine of yours..  I was fully AWARE of everything that was happening!!" "oh." "SEVEN YEARS..in a super slowed state." continued Will, as he stood up onto his feet. "If I wasn't ALREADY a "dangerous psychotic", I would have gone INSANE from the boredom!!" Alan sighed. "Will. We are aware of your apparent hatred for Scourge. Help us stop him, and we'll set you free." Will crossed his arms..and, chuckled. "So, you're asking me to do something that I was already planning on doing, anyway. HAH!, It's like a cop asking a convicted thief to rob a bank!" "It DOES seem rather redundant whenever you think about It." said Sally. It was then that Will looked straight at Sally. "Sally Acorn, right?" Sally cringed. not liking that the "Evil Billy" was focused on her. "I see that my Counterpart's doing well for himself if he bagged a sweet prize like you." Sally grew pale. "h-How did you-" "Your wearing a wedding band, your staying close to Billy.  AND..I heard you address him as "hon" earlier." said Will. "I'm Psychotic..NOT Stupid." Will then looked over at Billy. "Kudos to YOU, Bill. I must admit, I also found Alicia Acorn kinda hot. especially when she cracked that bullwhip of hers-" "CAN we stay on track, here!?" said Alan, getting impatient. Will looked at Alan. "You need me to fight Scourge. THAT, I get. but, I want a bit MORE than that." Alan eyed the red-haired man. "Like what?!" "You let me out, I beat Scourge to a pulp..THEN, what??  Once I've done my part, you send my twin to put me back my Slo-Mo Cell." Alan scowled, growling low in his throat. "what do you want??" Will smiled wide as he approached the force field dome. "I think you already know." Alan growled again. "you want us to destroy this containment unit." "You'll re-build It..Eventually." began Will, as he walked away. his hands behind his back. "By then, I'll be LONG GONE." "and, free to do God knows what." said Alan, disdain in his voice. Will grinned as he glanced back at Alan. "then, have fun trying to beat Scourge on your own.  Because UNLESS my "Absolute" freedom is guaranteed..I'm not doing anything." "You really expect us to believe that you'll pass up the chance to fight Scourge!?" began Billy, walking up. "You told me yourself how much you hated him, how much you wanted to BEAT him!" "Yeah, I did." began Will, approaching his counterpart. "and, I was more than happy to do just that the very moment I first got my speed.  BUT, I was willing to wait first. Test out my new powers on you..THEN, go after my true enemy." Will then struck the force-field dome with his arm, making It pulse. "then, you stuck me In this thing for seven years..which to ME, felt like SEVENTY.  so, believe me when I say this: If I've waited THIS long to get what I want..I can wait a bit longer." Billy grimaced as Will smirked, turned around, and walked away again. he looked at Alan..who sighed sharply. "Alright, FINE. (grumbles) you've got a deal.." Will smirked as he turned around, and looked at his audience of three. "then, what are you waiting for? Let me out, so I can kick Scourge's spiny green ass." Alan sighed as he nodded to Billy. Billy reluctantly approached the console again, and placed him palm upon It. (("DNA SEQUENCE CONFIRMED: GILVENZAN, WILLIAM NORAN.")) began the computer voice. (("FORCE-FIELD DEACTIVATING.)) the energy dome finally dissipated..and, the second after, Will sped out in a trail of red lightning. ..and, pinned Billy to a wall. "HEY!!" "GOOD LORD!!" "WHAT ARE YOU-!?" "apologies, Billy." began Will. "but, you and I STILL have unfinished business." Billy glared at him. "b-but, we had a Deal!!" "and, I will keep It." said Will. "but, *NOBODY* said I had to fight Scourge "right now." Sally glared at Will in disgust. "why you sneaky, two-faced-" "and, Besides.." continued Will, ignoring Sally. "I need a little "warm-up" before I combat Scourge. (looks at Billy, and smiles) and, since you gave me such a good workout last time, I see no reason why that should change." Billy scowled at Will, his eyes flashing yellow. Will just grinned, his own eyes flashing red. Billy then shoved at Will, knocking him back with his speed enhanced blow. With his goggles now on, Billy then charged in a trail of yellow lightning, and rapidly punched at Will. Will took some punches, but then caught the last, and threw a single hard punch at Billy, knocking him backwards. Will then put his goggles on. the two continued to fight. their images blurred, and moving like yellow-and-red lightning bolts. Will then suddenly grabbed Billy, spun him around super fast, and threw his body into the containment unit console. destroying It. as Billy groaned in pain, Will smiled sinisterly and sped over to the containment unit itself. he circled in a streak of red lightning, destroying the entire machine in a matter of seconds. Once done, Will sped over to Alan and Sally. he bore a smug look on his face as he began tossing a part in his hand. (("SORRY. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T TRUST YOU")) began Will, his voice distorted. ((IT'S..WELL, ACTUALLY, YEAH!' I DON'T TRUST YOU.")) Suddenly, Will was tackled by a yellow bolt. Billy grabbed Will, throttling him angrily. (("STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!")) said Billy, his own voice distorted. (("RELAX..")) said Will. (("I'M NOT GOING TO HURT THEM. ONLY YOU, AND SCOURGE ARE IN MY SIGHTS RIGHT NOW.")) Will then brushed Billy off, and attacked him again. he threw a punched, then seemed to disappear, and RE-appear behind Billy. striking him in the back. Billy then began to rapidly twirl around in place, countering Will's repeat attack. Billy then charged after Will, who did the same. as the two speedsters collided, a shockwave knocked Alan and Sally back. as they moved at super speed, attacking each other, yellow-and-red lightning bolts began to circle the room like a cyclone. Alan and Sally stood close at the center. watching as multi-colored electricity sparked around them. Sally tried to look, and see ANY of them. but, they were moving so fast, they resembled living lightning bolts instead of living people. Suddenly, the red bolt shot out of the room. the yellow bolt followed. "COME ON!" said Alan, as he and Sally ran out the room. the two ran as fast as they could up the long corridor. but, even at THEIR top speed, they knew It'd be far too late. And, when the blaring alarm sounded..they knew this was true. "dammit!, I knew this would happen!!" cursed Alan. "Don't be so hard on yourself. We were desperate!" said Sally. "and, In our desperation, we've open the flood gates to an ever GREATER devastation!!" Once the two reached the nexus of Freedom HQ, they found the room in ruins. the same yellow-and-red lightning bolts were circling the room, damaging parts of It with each pass. random people were ducking for cover, trying to avoiding the sparking electricity. from Billy and Will's perspective..the surrounding world was moving in super slow-motion. they ran along the walls, and tackled each other. each trying to overpower the other. the two finally accelerated at such a tremendous speed, that they both shot through the ceiling like bullets through glass. outside, above ground. they BURST straight through the roof of a manor estate. twirling like a multi-colored vortex as they shot into the sky high above. at the height of their momentum, the two stayed suspended in the air. Finally..they plummeted down in a free fall. unable to use their legs, both Billy and Will quickly spun both arms around rapidly. generating twin wind funnels, that began to slow their descents. once they were low enough to the ground, they both dropped. upon landing, Will performed a flying kick at Billy, knocking him down. (("WELL, BILL. IT'S BEEN REAL. BUT, I'VE GOT TO GO KNOW.")) began Will. (("I'VE GOT A HEDGEHOG TO KILL.")) with that, Will sped off into the city in a red lightning bolt. scowling, Billy chased after him at equal speed. [To be Continued..]

  I'm sure this has been done hundreds of times by many others.. So, here is MY little forray into the whole 'Draw-The-Chaos-Emeralds' thing.  HOWEVER, I am anything but Predictable. So, these ones are different.  While FIVE of the emeralds are canon, the last two are of my own creation.  for personal reasons, I exchanged the Light Blue and Grey emeralds for Orange and Pink ones.  Call me Crazy, but I thing the Seven Chaos Emeralds would look better  with ACTUAL colors, and not repeating the same one twice.  (Ironically, they now look like the Lantern Rings of the Emotion Spectrum    from DC's Green Lantern series. Don't know if that is a Good or Bad thing.)  So, anyways..Here are MY Seven Chaos Emeralds.ReplyQuoteNotifyRemove 

Do you guys think that Sonic mega-drive is going to get a spin off comic? I know they said there's a good chance if there are enough pre-orders, and personally I'm hoping we get it. Nothing wrong with a little vintage Sonic and begin honest here Tails looks super kawaii

what do you guys think are some of the funniest moments in the tv show sonic boom. a few of my favorites include the court room dancing scene and when metal sonic shows up out of nowhere.

Though it's not set in stone, one of the users on ASO is friends with Jon Gray on facebook, and he said the following.   "I got to work w/ so many wonderful ppl during my time on Sonic the Hedgehog and w/ so many wonderful talents including drawing my own stuff. It's a shame that I'll probably never see my Sonic artwork from Sonic collected anywhere, but that's not really my fault soooooo~~~❤️❤️❤️"   While it's not conformed, it is looking a bit black for sonic archives. Legal trouble from the infamous lawsuit may be the cause of this, and it could be that Archie is doing this to avoid any more legal lawsuits. what do you guys think?

  “no! it’s not possible! This project is a waste!” The following came from a scientist yelling at a scientist in a red lab coat, with a mustache. This, begin doctor robotnik. Doctor Robotnik sighed as the other scientist walked out. He couldn’t help but be somewhat frustrated. All’s he wanted to know was if there were any other worlds out there that he could get to. He just wanted his portal to work. For 10 years he worked on it, wanting it to work, wanting to get something out of it, but alas, it just wouldn’t work… He signed, and looked over his plans once more. He tried to think of what he could do, what sort of energy he could use to have the portal open. “there’s gotta be something…” he said, looking over his notes. Just something I can add to make this work, something that can turn the portal on and take me to some new place, away from the corruption and chaos of earth… He sat back, trying to think, looking over his reports. The most successful time begin it opening up, but closing very quickly, and from then on never working again. He looked at the diamond he used for it. Crystal clear, enough to see thought. “Why won’t you work for me?” he said to it. For fun, he put it into the energy port. Suddenly, the portal opened. Robotnik fell back scared, not sure what to think. He wanted to call the others but was worried that it would go out by the time he came back. In a quick motion, he grabbed his notebook and pen and ran thought the portal. White light was all robotnik could see, till he heard a voice. “uh…hey, you ok?” Robotnik’s head was acing, he looked around. His eyes soon fell on a hedgehog, blue and with green eyes, looking at robotnik. Robotnik let out a surprised gasp, then regained himself. “I don’t believe this…” he said to himself. “uh…where am I?” “why, you’re on mobious of course!” “mobious?” “yeah, I guess you’re a foreigner, wouldn’t be a surprise, we don’t really know much about you humans, but we’ve studied you, well, not really me, I don’t really go to school.” “uh…do you have a name?” “yeah, sonic, sonic the hedgehog…” the blue hedgehog said, putting out his hand. “names, robotnik, doctor robotnik.” The man said, putting out his hand for sonic to shake. “sorry about me just crashing in, I’ve been working on a little project of mine, a portal that would take people to other worlds, and I guess this is the one I landed up in…” “huh, interesting. A portal that could take you to other worlds, neat…” “yeah, I used a crystal to get to the place, which is strange how it just now worked, seeing as thought my other attempts didn’t do so well…” Sonic’s eyes lit up. “crystal…what did this crystal look like.” Robotnik scanned thought his notes, trying to look for a picture of it that he had. “I know I had a picture of it in my notebook somewhere…” he said, scanning thought his notes… Finally, he found it. “ah! Here it is…” he said showing sonic the picture of it. Sonic took a look at it. “huh, we have these kind of things at our world…their called chaos emeralds…we don’t really know much about them though…well, I don’t…” “oh, and what do these emeralds look like?” “sort of like the one in this picture, only they are different colors, such as blue, yellow, green, so on and so on. There’s at least 7 of them out there in Mobious, but no one knows where they are…” “I take it their rare around here?” “yep…say, you got a place to sta-aw who am I kidding, you just popped up here, so of course you don’t…come with me, I have a nice place that we can hang out at.” Robotnik followed the blue hedgehog. He couldn’t help but somewhat like the world around him. True he would probably miss home, but at the moment he was too caught up in what was in front of him. It was like earth, but with barely any cities and all animals. Animals that could walk and talk sort of like in the movies… “well, here it is…” sonic said. Before robotnik stood an shack that was made out of wood. “sorry it’s small, I like to travel a lot…” he said. “something I wish I could of done more of, but this does make up for everything.” “well, I suppose I could give you credit…” sonic said, heading into the shack and sitting down on the couch, “I would have gone crazy doing all of that.” “I know, but I couldn’t help it. The scientist back at my place where jerks, they kept mocking me about how I was crazy for trying to invent something like this…” “well, I hope this can be the start of a great friendship…” said sonic. “I wouldn’t make fun of you, and I’ll try to be a good friend.” He said. “thanks sonic…” robotnik said, smiling. The two spent most of their days exploring the world around them, with Sonic showing him around. The two explored caves, lakes, and so forth and so forth. Eventually, though, this had to end, on a tragic day. It was another day, sonic and robotnik were exploring, when in a cave, the two saw a light. “yo, you see that doctor?” “yeah…it’s a light…” Doctor Robotnik slowly approached the cave. “be careful…” said sonic. Eggman slowly approached it, and then grabbed it. It was a crystal, a green crystal. “sonic…I think we found a chaos emerald…” said robotnik. Sonic ran over quickly. He grabbed the emerald, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. “this is it, this is the emerald, a chaos emerald…I DON’T BELIEVE THIS!” said sonic, sounding excited. Sonic held it for a bit, but as he did, it started to glow. “woah…” sonic said. “is it supposed to do that?” robontik asked. “I don’t think so…” Before the two knew it, the emerald glowed even brighter. Robotnik was suddenly flown back, thrown back far away. Sonic just stood there, for a second, seeing his quills turn from blue to gold. He felt energy thought his body. It stopped finally, as it did, sonic looked around. “robotnik? Robotnik?” Meanwhile, robotnik found himself in an abandon smog city, factories all around him. He wasn’t sure if he was on the same planet. He didn’t know why though, but he was mad, he was angry. “those Darn scientist…I’ll show them…” He got up, dusting himself off, and began to explore the city around him. “this planet…will be mine, and so will those chaos emeralds…and when I get back…I’ll give them hell…” The emeralds corrupted his mind, the once sane robotnik had lost it, and now wanted revenge and much more on those who had made fun of him and mocked him. He was a changed man…and not in a good way either…  

now before anyone says it no I'm not talking about an Iron nicole, I'm talking about Nicole going bad or doing something that would be deemed bad in a story arch that would get her in hot water. What would you guys think if we had something like that in the comics?

No where not talking about the comic this time. There's a rumor on the street that says we may be seeing the sonic series go though a reboot. If this rumor became true, what would be your reaction, and what would you like to see come from it. For me, one thing I'd like to see is the original cast staying mostly the same, and the SATAM crew finally becoming cannon to the video game world, add in other characters we don't normally see like Bean and Bark, and you get what i want out of this reboot, IF it happens...

so earlier today, i watched BW ross (a guy on youtube who talks about wrestling and sonic comics.) and he mentioned that at the end of worlds unite there was a hint at a 3rd one. what do you guys think of this? personally, i really don't want anther worlds unite or worlds collide. unless it's like my fan fic crossover with sonic and nights into dreams or freedom planet if archie and sega and the company that made freedom planet can work something out. other then that and maybe sonic boom i'm not really looking for anther big crossover with everyone from who knows where, and i think the same can be said for archie as Ian (the great bumbleking) said the licenses for everything cost money and stuff. but what are you're guys thoughts. should anther worlds unite happen, or shouldn't it.

what stories or plans would you like to see for Lupe the wolf in the sonic comics? In my opinion, i'm hoping that there's either a new wolf pack formed since the concept is from sonic SATAM, or she simply joins the main team freedom fighters with sonic, sally, and others. what do you guys think?

what do you guys think archie comics will do for sonic's 25th anniversary? Other then a special comic or issue, i don't really know if there gonna do anything other then that celebration wise.

In the issues right now, Eggman has people joining him because people are tired of fighting and putting up with him, however, Orbot asked the interesting question of what he would do if the plan backfired. What do you think will happen when it does and more importantly, when do you think people will rise and disband from Eggman, if it were to happen. 

This question is probably going to get under the skin of mods and others on here, but I have to ask it. If Archie basically loses the license to do Sonic comics, do you believe that it will go on unofficially like with sonic the comic?   For me, I think the answer is obvious. Archie's Sonic series has just as big, if not bigger following as Sonic The Comic, and I can see if not Ian Flynn, fans doing what there doing now with lost hedgehog tales, banding together to make it happen or go on. I wouldn't mind this either cause as you know, and as mods have pointed out I'm one of those people who doesn't really let go of the old world, but if the comic goes on unofficially, whoever is in charge can do whatever they want, bringing back certain characters included.  Sorry if this seems negative but I had to ask, and to be fair this seems very possible if the series were ever to die, given the small but still large fan base for it. What are your thoughts guys? Would this seem very likely to happen if the comics go? Comment below your thoughts.

all right, i know you guys have asked me to be patient, and to a degree I have, but I still want to ask you guys this. Why do you think the comics are begin delayed. Before anyone says it, yes I know that they said it was due to printing, but I feel it's something bigger. also on one of the comic sites the next issues to come have been removed, so yeah, that's not 100% a good sign. Mod note: I'm really getting sick of these constant "why the delays?" Can we please stop with them? There are other things to do to occupy time instead of repeatedly ask about the delays Explanations were given here

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11713265/1/Sonic-Freedom-Fighters-X-Super-Robot-Wars-OG   A crossover fanfic I wrote. Do read and comment. P.S. It is not complete. New chapters will come in future.

Because of the fact that Sonic the Hedgehog as a franchise is about a "Heroic Character with Super-Speed" It wasn't too difficult for me to piece a connection between Sonic and DC Comic's "The Flash" (which is currently being made popular with the CW TV Series/Spinoff of "The Arrow") All of Flash's villains have tested Flash's speed in some way. So, I think that Archie Comics ought to make new villains based upon "The Rogues"   In the Pre-SGW Continuity, we already had Scourge/Anti-Sonic, who was similar enough to Professor Zoom/Reverse-Flash. but, I think we need more villains like that. I mean, what? Ice Powers/Weapons (Captain Cold), Weather Manipulation (Weather Wizard) an Illusionist (Mirror Master), and evil counterpart to Blaze (Heatwave) and, a crazy Trickster (duh.) It'd sure make for some good Sonic stories if they took a cue from the OTHER "Fastest Thing Alive" in comic books. Just a suggestion.  

They Collided. They United. Now Their Worlds Must Align Once More… Yep, you read that title correctly. This is a little something I've been working on since about the middle of 2015. I loved Worlds Collide when it was released; it got me reading the Mega Man comic books, and while it did end with the Sonic reboot, it still kept me curious of what could come next. Add to that the Wily Egg still hanging around (or rather, below) in Blaze's world, and the thought of a possible second crossover got me intrigued. Then Worlds Unite happened and, while it had some cool moments, the overall pacing, character roster and last-minute additions from the SEGA/Capcom multiverse prevented it from being a worthwhile read for me. Since then, I started theorising on what a potential third crossover could be like. But with Sonic still busy fixing the shattered world, and Mega Man's continuing comic adventures in a state of uncertainty, I decided to start writing my own crossover ideas down. Now, before I give the synopsis, I should note that this is a four-franchise crossover between Archie Sonic and Archie Mega Man (or at least close to it), with certain characters and elements of Mega Man X and Sonic Boom. There won't be any other SEGA or Capcom franchises in this one, mostly to prevent having too many characters again (and also because I'm not too familiar with the ones that appeared before). Maybe if this ever becomes an RP, but not right now... With all that out of the way, here's what I have so far. (Currently just the backstory, settings and a list of characters): If all goes well, then I should be able to update this if/when necessary. So, any thoughts so far? Any adjusments/improvements that can be made?

hi :3 I am new here. I thought I could show you guys my Sonic X based fanfiction while I'm here. It's INCOMPLETE at the moment but I am working on it in my spare time and hope to update whenever I can. There are 4 chapters so far. It's a story where my OC stumbles upon the main sonic characters in sonic x situation. It starts with a sonic x setting and a few things to do with the first few episodes of sonic x but then it goes into its own tangent with just the sonic characters so really you don't need to worry about knowing much about sonic x. I have give you a WARNING right now as it does have major personality changes for the characters. If you don't think you will like that then you may not want to try reading it. It also had ADULT LANGUAGE nothing really bad but a few f words and s words and such as would probably be in normal conversation considering some of the things that happen. There is also quite big of action so there is VIOLENCE but nothing too detailed and there are CHARACTER DEATHS in this but I wont tell you who as that would be spoilers so I hope you like it and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am not a great writer and my grammar isn't perfect. This is my first fanfiction so bare with me. Thank you for reading and have a nice day :3 http://www.quotev.com/story/7383327/Sonic-X-Clereens-Story

  [Somewhere I Belong]   a taxicab came to a stop near an apartment building. and, as the doors opened..Two Mobian of eighteen years stepped out. One a Squirrel/Chipmunk hybrid dressed in blue, and, a yellow furred Mongoose with long, lavender hair. as the anthros stared at the "Iron Arms" Apartment Complex, the human taxi driver spoke up. "That'll be Fifty Bucks, ladies." Sally Acord took out her wallet, and gave the man a gold credit card. DING! "Pleasure doin' business with you, Miss." said the driver, as he handed the card back and drove off. Sally and Mina stared at the apartment building one more time. "are you..s-Sure she is here?!" stuttered Mina. Sally nodded. "Positive. My contacts on G.U.N. confirm that NICOLE has been living here for quite some time." Sally turned on a Tablet Computer-like device, and reviewed some notes. "let's see, Westopolis..Iron Arms Apartments..Suite 184." Mina frowned sadly. "I knew NICOLE wanted to go someplace far after her exile..but, I didn't think she'd run THIS far away from us." Sally sighed sharply. "Nor did I, Mina. I can only hope she's been adapting okay living with the Overlanders." Sally and Mina finally approached the apartment building, and entered the main lobby. approaching the reception desk, Sally struggled to reach the high up counter and ring the service bell. DING!! In no time at all, and rather chipper human woman with blonde hair approached. "helloooo..How may I help you??" "Hi. I am Princess Sally Acorn, and this is my friend, Mina Mongoose." began Sally. Mina waved. "h-hi." "We were wondering if you could confirm whether we cam find an old friend of ours here." continued Sally. the woman smiled. "Oh, you must be referring to the Lynx Girl who lives with Mr. Flynn." "NICOLE!?" said Sally, hopefully. "yep!, that's her name! You'll find her in Room #184. But, you probably won't miss It, even if you tried." Sally looked puzzled. "I am not sure I follow-" "Trust me, your highness..YOU'LL KNOW." the Chipmunk shrugged her shoulders. "well..If you say so. Come on, Mina." the two mobians made their way down the long corridors of the building. each of their eyes trained on the numbered doors at both side. "98..99..100." "120..125..130." As they walked down the path, they heard a distance female voice. Even at their current distance, Sally recognized It all to well. "NICOLE!!" Sally began running (as did Mina) towards the source of the voice. as they grew closer, they found that It was INDEED NICOLE's voice..and, that she was singing. 'When this Began, I had nothing. to. say.  And I would get lost in the nothingness inside. of. me.  I was confused, And I let it all out to find,  that I'm Not the only person with these things in my mind.' "Is that..REALLY NICOLE!?" said Sally, as she continued to run. "WOW..she-She has a beautiful singing voice." 'But the vacancy, and the words revealed.  Is the only real thing that I have left to feel.' continued NICOLE, he tone getting more solem. 'nothing to lose. Just stuck, hollow and alone.  And the fault is my own, And the FAULT is my OWN!!' Mina felt her heart sink. tears formed as she realized the true meaning of NICOLE's song. 'I want to HEAL!, I want to FEEL!..What I see was never real!  I want to let go of this pain I have felt so long..  I want to HEAL!, I want to FEEL!..Like I'm close to something REAL.  I want to find something that I have wanted all along..' the two Mobians at last reached the door labeled "184", and stopped at It.  'Somewhere I BELONG.' finished Nicole, her tone low and quiet. Mina couldn't contain herself. she began to cry softly as she stared at the cold door. "mina.." "this is all my fault." said Mina. "I turned everyone against NICOLE, and drove her away." Sally placed her hand on Mina's shoulder. "you were AFRAID, Mina..You were just doing what you thought was right." "Right!? I spread Fear, hatred and distrust. I betrayed our friend by turning everyone against her!" "Well..That is why we are here: To make things right." said Sally Sally motioned towards the door, implying Mina to knock on the door. BUT, the Mongoose didn't have the nerve. exhaling, Sally began to knock on the door herself. after a few minutes, the door opened..and, a human male with greenish-black hair greeted them. (though, It didn't take long to figure out who they were..to which he promptly frowned.) "oh..It's YOU. (sigh) figured you would turn up here eventually." "You must be Flynn." said Sally, ignoring the man's coldness. "Daniel Flynn, Your Highness." said Danny, suddenly good natured. Mina walked up. "H, Dann-" "That's MISTER Flynn to YOU, "Songgoose." said Danny to Mina, his tone suddenly aggressive. Mina cringed, knowing full well know that only Sally was welcome company here. "May we see NICOLE? w-we heard her, an-" "Sure..Somehow, I think she wants to see you, too." As Sally and Mina entered the apartment, Mina cringed even more at the dirty look that Danny was giving her. Inside, Sally and Mina found the apartment to be filled to the brim with all manner of technology. a large flatscreen TV was integrated into a wall (almost resembling a portrait), and, there was also a flatscreen desktop computer, as well as a laptop some tablet computers nearby. "WOW. this is..Wow." said Sally, awestruck. "Well, you know..being Chief Technician at G.U.N. has It's perks." said Danny, proudly. Mina looked to Danny. "So, where Is NICOLE??" Danny responded with a dark scowled..which made Mina grow quiet. "Danny, where is NICOLE?" asked Sally (trying to lighten the tension.) "In her room..RESTING." Sally was confused. "Resting?!" "You'll find out." Just then, one of the television screens on the wall fizzled..and, a digital image of NICOLE's face appeared. (("DANNY. WHO WAS AT THE DOOR?!, I HEARD A-")) NICOLE then noticed Sally and Mina. (("PRINCESS SALLY!, MINA MONGOOSE!..WHAT A SURPRISE!!")) "Hello, NICOLE..(eyes wetting) It's been too long, my dear friend." said Sally, feeling emotional. Mina wanted to say something as well..but, felt too ashamed to utter a single word. "Is It Okay if we come and see you?" (("OF COURSE, SALLY. IN FACT, I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.")) "Really?! What!?" said Sally, curious. (("COME SEE FOR YOURSELF.")) with that, NICOLE's Avatar disappeared from screen. Danny crossed his arms, and sighed as he looked at the two Mobian girls. "well..Follow ME, then." as Danny walked off, Mina stood near Sally. "I don't think he likes me very much." "given that he is apparently NICOLE's friend, It makes sense he would hold a grudge against you..just like I used to." Mina looked down, sadly. "and, who can blame him?" Sally and Mina finally followed Danny into another room. Alex then opened a door..and, inside was NICOLE, laying in a large, soft bed. NICOLE looked over..and, smiled. "Sally..Mina. So good to see both again." said NICOLE, as she sat up in bed. Mina once again looked down, feeling shame and regret sweeping over her. Sally then approached the bed where NICOLE was laying. "oh, NICOLE..I missed you so much!" NICOLE smiled warmly. "I missed you too, Sally. but, as I told you on Angel Island: I needed some time to myself to figure out my place in this world.." NICOLE then frowned, looking down. "but..given that the Council of Acorn voted to Exile me from New Mobotropolis. I suppose It was for the best." both Sally and Mina frowned at this. Sally then looked at NICOLE. "NICOLE..We want you back." NICOLE looked at Sally. "what?" "The recently crowned "King Naugus" hasn't been doing a very good job  at protecting New Mobotropolis with his 'Crystal Magic.'  The council is deliberating..BUT, It seems likely they will overturn your exile, and arrange your return to us." Before NICOLE could say anything, Danny did. "The COUNCIL of Acorn..You mean the SAME council who voted to throw away the one "PERSON" who helped fight for their freedom in the old Robotnik War,  and, instrumentally saved all their ungrateful, furry hides when the Egg Fleet bombarded Knothole!?,  thus granting them back the city that Eggman all but destroyed, and selflessly PROTECTED them!" NICOLE looked at the angry Human. "Danny, PLEASE.." "NO, Nicole..I WON'T." said Danny, sternly..yet, Compassionately "You gave It your all to protect those..   (alright, I'm gonna say It) ANIMALS! and, now they have the GALL to say that they "want you back",    all because they only just NOW realized that they 'bet on the wrong horse' with Ixis Naugus." Sally swallowed a bit. "n-nothing is certain yet..b-but, It may turn out that way." Danny was in total disgust at this. "spineless fools." "DANNY." Danny looked to NICOLE..who looked at him with stern, yet pleading eyes. "please..don't." Danny looked at her..then, exhaled sharply. "fine." NICOLE "exhaled" as she faced Sally again. "As much as I would love to return back to New Mobotropolis, Sally..I am afraid I must respectfully decline such an offer." Both Sally and Mina were stunned at this. "wa-What?!, WHY!?" Mina stepped up. "Look, If It's because me, I'm really-!!" "No, I just have.."Greater" responsibilities now." Sally looked puzzled. "what KIND, exactly? What is more important than returning to safeguard our city!?" NICOLE was silent..then, looked to Danny. "Danny..dear, could you-" "of course, hon." with that, Danny walked over to the bed. as he gripped the front end of the blanket, and gently pulled It back..Sally and Mina were shocked to see how perfectly 'round' NICOLE's waist had become. "I am presently the maternal vessel of a post-embryonic lifeform." began NICOLE. "OR, to put simply..I am Pregnant." Sally and Mina were both still speechless, their mouths gaped open. as Danny covered NICOLE back up, Sally finally found her voice. "b-but..But, HOW!? I mean..y-you are a..UHH-" "a Computer Program given semi-physical form via A.D.A.M.'s Nanites?" finished NICOLE. "I WAS, but not anymore." "what?!" Danny chose this time to speak. "When Nicole first came to G.U.N. several months ago. she was quite lost, scared and confused.  despite being as far away as she could get from Mobotropolis,   she STILL felt haunted by the "things they said about her." said Danny, who looked right at Mina as she spoke his last line. "She was afraid that with her self-replicating nanite body, she was "too powerful"  and, feared that she might lose control again, and hurt innocent people. continued Danny. "So..she requested that GUN give her a new body. one that was 'less powerful', and easier to 'destroy' if we ever had to." Mina felt terrible now. knowing full well the hand she had in this relevation. Sally looked at Danny, feeling that she (somewhat) understood what had happened. "you?" Danny nodded. "As GUN's "gadget man", I was the only logical choice." "That still doesn't explain NICOLE's apparent pregnancy." said Sally "Even if you built her a new robot body, She couldn't be-" "She could with Hope Kintobor's newest creation: "BioMech." Sally eyed the human. "Bio-What??" "Biological Mechanics." continued Danny. "AKA "BioMech", It's the theory   of constructing robots, or Mechanical Parts with organic properties." "Why would you need something like THAT!?" asked Sally. "No offense of course, I am just wondering." "If you believe It, Hope originally developped It to help E-123 "OMEGA" understand humanity better."   Danny then grumbled. "course, the higher ups didn't see much point in a Robot   that could feel Pain and Pleasure, so It was shelved in our Archives." Danny exchaled. "Anyway..after NICOLE informed us of her "rebirth" from her prior contact with the Master Emerald on Angel Island, I was inspired to use Hope's BioMech technology to give Nicole a new body that was a perfect blend of Flesh and Metal." NICOLE groaned as she re-positioned herself in bed. "I have the same attributes that I did prior as an A.I..only NOW, I have similar biology to a typical Mobian." NICOLE then rubbed her expanded belly. "including the natural biological ability..to create life." Sally looked at NICOLE..then, smiled happily. "I guess all I can say is..I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, NICOLE!!" Sally then hugged her lifelong friend. "As am I, Sally..I am VERY excited at the prospect of being a Motherly Unit for my protoform." Sally chuckled at NICOLE's "Computer Speak", despite her regaining her lost humanity. she then parted, and asked the only other question now lingering in her mind: "Sooo..I Gotta know: Whose the father?!" NICOLE smiled warmly. "a man who I trust with all my mechanical heart and silicon soul..  a man who truly understands me." NICOLE then pointed at Danny. "Him." Sally looked at the overlander. "You!?" "Is that so surprising?, I thought you didn't mind Human/Mobian relationships." "I don't. It's just..well. th-This is all so sudden, is all." Danny shrugged. "Fine. I guess that's understandable." Sally looked to NICOLE. "If you don't mind me asking, Nicole. just..How did this happen?! I mean..You haven't been away THAT long." Nicole smiled, the spoke: "It was a.."gradual process", to say the least.  As Danny gave me my new body, he was charged by Comm. Abraham Tower to help me "adjust."  which Danny did..by showing me around Westopolis, and being something that I hadn't had in a long time: a friend." NICOLE looked to Danny. "Danny, should I-" "Go ahead, Nikki. You can tell them." said Danny, his tone low. Sally was puzzled at this, but remained silent as NICOLE continued. "As our friendship grew..my restored memories of my "past life" as Nikki began to return.  I..I remembered my father, Dr. Ellidy, and..I-I wanted to see him again." NICOLE shed a tear as she recalled the "adventure." "Following what little information that we had,  Danny secretly took me to locate my father's whereabouts in the far off mountains..  but, we encountered..resistance." "From whom??" NICOLE looked to Sally. "Regina Ferrum..the IRON QUEEN." Mina jumped upon hearing that name. as It was SHE who caused all this trouble. "And, she wasn't alone..Snively Robotnik was with her.  BOTH intending to take their mutual revenge on me for the Iron Queen's prior defeat." "Why was Snively involved?!" said Mina, breaking her silence. "I mean..I understand he would be P*ssed at us for beating him, and Eggman again, but WHY the Iron Queen!!?" "because the sawed off little runt is IN LOVE with her, That's what! (and, somehow Regina feels the same way, too.)" said Danny, in Disgust. Both Mina and Sally cringed at this. Finding the very idea of Snively and the Iron Queen being "romantic" even more disturbing than Dr. Eggman in a speedo. "yes, well..As I was saying, The Iron Queen was hellbent on killing me." said Nicole. Sally was shocked and frightened to hear this. "h-How did you survive her Magitek Powers!?" Nicole bore an unreadable expression on her face. "My new body offered some resistance..but, not enough.  she came close to ripping me apart. One component at a time." "But, Danny stopped him..Right?" said Sally, understanding the story. NICOLE nodded "Yes. yes, he did." "How?!" said Mina, confused. "Even when she acted alone WITHOUT Eggman's "Dark Egg Legion",   It was a struggle for Sonic, and the other Freedom Fighters to even slow her down!" "Regina Ferrum made a colossal error in calculation." said NICOLE. "She believed that she was the only Technokinetic Human left alive on Mobius." Danny chose this moment to wave an energized hand..making varied electronic equipment in the room flicker and static for a brief moment. This left Sally and Mina quite stunned. "Regina and I grew up in the same town, at a time when "Techomages" were plentiful. That is how I knew her." began Danny. "When the city outlawed the practice of "Technological Manipulation",  and began executed those possessing the power, many survivors fled..including Regina, and myself.  Despite a similar upbringing, and suffering the same tragedies..we both took different paths in our lives.  whilst SHE embraced the pagan ways of the Technomage Cult, I used my power for SCIENCE, not Black Magic.  G.U.N. eventually learned of my unique talents..but, instead of executing me  like those of my old hometown did, they sought to recruit me as a "special agent."  I could hardly deny the chance to use my "Magitek" powers to do something good..unlike REGINA." "Anyway, the Iron Queen was not ready to be assaulted by a fellow Technokinetic." continued NICOLE. "Outmatched, and Overwhelmed, she and Snively were forced to abandon their attack and retreat." Sally looked at Danny. "Sure wish you were around when the Iron Dominion attacked us." "So do I." said Danny, darkly. "Maybe if I DID, Regina would've never gotten her claws into NICOLE, and maybe SHE would have never suffered the things I once did." Sally looked puzzled. "You once-" "FEAR and HATRED compelled the people of my hometown to turn on me." said Danny,   his voice sounding all too much like a certain "black hedgehog."   "As Friends and Neighbors alike turned on me, I was driven away from the only home I knew..Sound FAMILIAR?!" Both Sally and Mina had to agree: Danny's ordeal DID seem eerly similar to what NICOLE went through, recently. "With the Iron Queen driven away, I was successful in reaching my father..   (sighs sadly) just in time to be with him in his final moments." "whut?!" said Sally, stunned. NICOLE shivered as emotions swept over her like a surge. "my f-father, he..he was VERY ill. Dying from the same affliction that claimed "my life", before.  we..reconciled. I told him I remembered everything, now..and, he-   (voice breaking) he t-told me that he loved me..(sobs, choke) and, then he died." As NICOLE began to cry louder, Danny took a tissue and began to wipe her eyes. "there-there, Nikki..It's okay." NICOLE gripped her facem, tears seeping through her black furred hands. Sally and Mina grew concerned. "N-Nicole-" "I'm f-fine..(clears throat) j-just fine. I was..Emotional, is all." Sally exhaled sharply. "So..you and Danny, yo-" "We became closer after my father's death." continued NICOLE. "He soon began to open up to me, share HIS private pains..  It wasn't long until we..well, you know." Nicole showed her pregnant belly again. Sally smiled warmly at NICOLE. "I'm glad you've finally found happiness, NICOLE." NICOLE smiled back..but, then frowned. "yes..I am happy to have found love, and excited at the prospect of being a mother.  but..not everything is perfect. I wish my father was still alive..and, I do miss my old life in New Mobotropolis." "Then, come back with us! We NEED you!!" exclaimed Mina. Danny finally stepped up, and faced the Mongoose. "Nicole ISN'T. GOING. ANYWHERE!" "but-" "You heard me, SONGGOOSE. NICOLE isn't about to go back to being some "Sentinel Program."  she is a now a LIVING, THINKING Mobian Being. You may need her to cover all your asses,   but she DOESN'T need you mistreating and BETRAYING her again!!" Mina froze in fear as the Overlander towers over her..his eyes somehow bearing a striking resemblance to the Iron Queen. "Danny, STOP!" exclaimed NICOLE. "NO!, Nicole!! This HAS to be said. While I don't regret allowed Princess Sally in here,  I should NEVER have let this backstabbing, hate-mongering MONGOOSE into our home!" Mina looked down sadly. "yes..Yes, It's true. I turned everyone against NICOLE..(looks up at Danny) but, That was NEVER my intent, EVER!!" Danny looked down at Mina coldly. "Oh, no?" At that moment, Danny's eyes flashed white..and, a familiar muscical track began playing in surround sound. 'I LIE AWAKE IN MY BED..JUSt CAN'T SLEEP, FULL OF DREAD.' Mina widened her eyes in horror as she heard her own voice "no..No, stop. STOPPIT!!" 'WILL THE NIGHTMARES COME FOR ME THIIIIIIIS TIME!?  IN THE DAY, IN THE NIGHT, NEVER KNOWING, FULL OF FRIGHT!  WHY WON'T ANYONE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTEN!!?' "PLEASE!!" pleaded Mina. "Turn It off..(shouting) TURN THAT Poop OFF!!!" "NO!!" bellowed Danny, his eyes surging with Magitek energy. "You WILL listen to EVERY word..and, Understand what You've done." Mina fell to her knees as her horrible song continued to play. tears flowing down her cheeks as her guilt and self-loathing returned anew. 'I CAN'T ALWAYS BE JUMPING AT SHAAAAAAAAAADOWS!!  I CAN'T ALWAYS BE RUNNING AWAAAAAAAAY!!!  I WON'T BE AFRAID, I'LL SAVE MYSELF!  I WON'T BE AFRAID, I'LL SAVE MYSELF!!' "DANNY, STOP THIS! THIS IS CRUEL!!" exclaimed Sally "Anymore cruel than when Mina made Nicole CRY, and made everyone HATE her with her Siren Song!?" said Danny, bitterly. 'SHE'S EVERYWHERE!, EVERYTHING!!  BUT, HEROES AREN'T LISTENING!!  WE'RE ALL LEFT PRONE, UNPROTEEEEECTED!!  IT'S PAINFULLY OB-VI-OUS THEY WON'T ACT!!  IT'S UP TO US!!, WE WON'T LIVE IN FEAR OF THE CIIIIIIIIIITY!!!' Mina's eyes were wide open as her tears flowed freely. though an old song, she felt she was hearing It for the very first time.. and, It was torture. for, It became all too clear just what kind of "evil" had had done to her friend. "stop it..PLEASE!!, NO MORE!, I BEG OF YOU!! (screaming) NO MOOOOOOOOOORE!!!" While Danny had no intention in halting Mina's "punishment" he glanced at NICOLE..and, seeing that pained look her eyes..finally stopped. once the music finally stopped, Mina breathed heavily. she looked up at Danny..who towered over the Mongoose, staring down at her like a Mobini snake looks at a mouse before striking. Mina herself was on her hands and knees..as if she were "slave" to this Overlander. "So, what exactly WAS your intent, Mongoose!?" said Danny, demanding an answer. Mina slowly rose up to her knees, still in tears. "I..I was only trying to..s-send a message." "Well, you CERTAINLY did that: "Nicole is the Enemy." "NO!!" exclaimed Mina, rising up to her feet. "I was trying to RALLY everyone, EMPOWER them to stand up and FIGHT!" "And, they did..AGAINST NICOLE. She gave you ALL a home, and you "rewarded" her by robbing her of her OWN." Danny's words stung at Mina like a thousand wasp stings. for, though dripping with Icy Venom, they spoke the truth. "and, NOW, you say you "Need Her Back!?" continued Danny, his anger not letting up. "and, just WHAT will happen when you no longer "need her", HUH!? I suppose you will return her back   to her original "handheld computer" form, and seal her away in a lab, somewhere." "NO!, We would never-!" "I know YOU wouldn't, Sally..but, can you honestly say the same for your Council?!..or KING NAUGUS!!?" Sally wanted to protest..but, could find no compelling argument. Danny then glared at Mina again. "I will NOT let you BETRAY, and ABUSE Nicole again. She is staying HERE where she is SAFE, has a HOME..and, friends who are LOYAL." Sally looked to NICOLE. "Nicole..do you agree with Danny?" Nicole looked at Sally, then to Mina..Danny, and finally back to Sally, again. "I am sorry, Sally. As much as I miss New Mobotropolis, AND you and the Freedom Fighters..Danny speaks the truth.  You all may need me today..but, what of tomorrow? and, then there is my unborn child to consider.   If I am betrayed, and sealed away forever..what will become of my child, then?!" Sally paused, realizing the true danger now in bringing NICOLE back at such a delicate time. "The world ALREADY has mixed feelings about Human and Mobian Hybrids.." began Danny. "But, Nicole's will also be PART MACHINE, and will suffer a far worse fate   than the normal Hybrid children who have been appearing lately." Sally thought for a moment..THEN, her ears perked up as she got an idea. "What if we managed to have Nicole restored with NO STRINGS ATTACHED?!  what if we could guarantee the safety of not just Nicole..but, your child as well!?" Danny smirked as he crossed his arms. "If you managed to do THAT, I would be VERY impressed." "Then, I will. I PROMISE I will!" "You'll pardon me if I don't hold my breath. I know for a fact that Fear and Hatred   can be a powerful force..and, one not as easy to destroy as It is to create." Sally bore a stern expression. "We have to at LEAST try. You are right, Nicole gave her ALL for us when we needed her to..It's time we gave something BACK." "Darn STRAIGHT!" said Danny, in an equally stern tone. Sally then exhaled..then, walked back to NICOLE. "Nicole..just hang in there. I'll set things right." Nicole smiled. "Yes..I know you will." Sally hugged Nicole..then, turned and began to leave the room. Mina then approached Nicole, her body trembling. "n-n-Nicole..I am SO SORRY!, I-I didn't mean for..I didn't-" NICOLE just bore a sad look on her face..which only broke Mina even more. "nicole..I'm sorry. Please forgive me." NICOLE exhaled sharply. "I..f-forgive you, Mina. I'm just..not sure if I can trust you right now." Mina's heart ached at this. and, yet, deep down..she knew she deserved It. after what she did to NICOLE, she had no right to call herself "her friend." Mina quickly turned to Danny. "Isn't there ANYTHING I can do to make things right!?" "UNDO the damage that you've already done." replied Danny, in a demanding tone. "You started this with your music..so, use your music to end it once and for all." Danny then lowered down, and glared right into Mina's eyes. "and, don't you DARE return to this place until you do.  If you defy me..I will have you ARRESTED!, and I don't think an Anthro like YOU wants to spend a day in a Human prison. UNDERSTAND?!" Mina swallowed hard..then, nodded silently. "y-yes. I-I-I do." Minia finally walked away, and soon left the apartment with Sally. Once gone, Danny exhaled sharply. "I know what you are going to say..  and, I suppose you are right: I may have gone a bit too far replaying that song." "oh, Danny..I know you only wish to protect me." began Nicole, her tone calm. "but, sometimes..your OWN Fear and Anger can cloud your judgement as It did to the ones who hurt me in the first place." the human sighed sharply as he returned to his pregnant girlfriend's side. "I'm sorry, hon. I'm sorry that I reopened old wounds." Nicole smiled at Danny. "It's okay. The pain may linger, but It doesn't hurt as badly as It once did." Danny breathed out..then, spoke again. "Thank you, Nicole." "for what?" "For when you revealed to the Princess of me growing up with Regina Ferrum..and, DIDN'T reveal that she is really my sister." NICOLE paused..then, spoke softly. "Your secret is yours to tell..REX." Danny/Rex tensed his muscles upon hearing his old, former name. "I am sorry. I know how you feel about your old name." Danny glanced at Nicole..then exhaled again. "I don't hate my name..nor, do I hate my sister, either.  I just hate what she's become..and, all she's done to you." "Danny..I REALLY think you should reach out to her." "My sister is DEAD, Nikki..and, so is her brother." said Danny, darkly. NICOLE pasued..then, spoke sternly: "Danny..REX. just because someone stumbles, and loses their way..It doesn't mean they are lost FOREVER. Danny looked at NICOLE. "You said It yourself." began NICOLE. "You and Regina were born, raised and driven off from the same place.  SHE took the path vengeance, while YOU followed a different path. The path of Forgiveness, and Redemption.  she needs you, Danny..she NEEDS you to show her a better path. the RIGHT path." Danny turned away, his arms crossed as he stared off. "We all need a little help, sometimes." finished NICOLE. Danny looked at NICOLE again. "When the day comes that I can be proud to call her my sister again..  THEN, you can called me "Rex Furrum", again. but, until that day comes..I am just "Danny Flynn." NICOLE sighed..then, smiled. "well..It's a START, at least." Danny took NICOLE's hand, and gently kissed It. he then removed the blanket, and place a faintly charged hand upon the surface of her tight waist. NICOLE smiled at this. "So..what is our child's vital statistics?" "Well..It's a Boy, is developing well." began Danny. "I can sense a heartbeat, and..Brainwave Activity." "So..he not only lives, but he is thinking, too." mused NICOLE. Danny smiled as he removed his hand. "he'll be beautiful, Nikki. NICOLE smiled..then, embraced Danny tightly. Danny did the same. [The End?]

serious question: how long do you see archie's sonic the hedgehog series lasting. i know this is going to sound crazy, but i legit believe it will last anywhere from 600 issues to 1,000 issues. not kidding.

big house blues for poor scourge "probably cause I didn't use proper grammar on this stupid site."-scourge      Scourage's POV   I mind as well stay in this dang jail for the rest of my days. Things just aren't the same anymore. So what if I lost my temper and was about to go ape Poop on the rest of my crew? All's I wanted to do was get back at sonic and those Darn freedom fighters and now here I am, barely feeling like myself let alone an anti-sonic in jail without any of my other team mates. this straight up sucks!" I said punching my hand into the wall. When I did get here it was to look for sonic, but instead I found shadow. I didn't mind picking a fight with that dude, I'd figure I'd give him a run for his money, but even in my super form I lost, and it felt like it didn't take much either. "at least I don't get bullied around here..." I said to myself, sitting down and eating. To the jails credit nobody really messed with me, probably because I had no profile. At least in the old world I was known as Scourage the hedgehog, the anti-sonic. Now, here, I'm just a nobody. "The therapist would like to see you..." said one of the guards, letting me out. I just went along with things. No use trying to escape in a world I don't feel I belong in. "Scourage the hedgehog I presume?" said the therapist. The dude looked old and was a pig, wearing glasses with a suit. Just my luck, I get a pig for a therapist. "yes." "come, have a seat..." he said in a German like accent. "my name is doctor pork, I shall be you're therapist that you will talk to on a weekly basis to get better and get out into the real world." "hell no..." said scourage. "I have nothing out in the real world. My team is gone, I'm not even from this world! I have no place!" "nonsense, I'm sure you have a place in this world, you just need to get out of trouble that you've been in. speaking of which, why not tell me about yourself." "very well..." I said. I sat back and explain my whole story. Well, at least most of it...I eventually got up to when I was planning to get revenge on sonic. "so me and my gang weren't exactly having the best of luck at the time. We had everything but me and Fiona would get into arguments here and there." Scourage: what do you mean I'm selfish? Fiona: crossing arms we helped you out of jail, and you barely thank us, let alone treat us with some respect... "I started losing it when the portal that was supposed to take us to sonic's world wasn't working. I was about to flip out on everyone when suddenly a giant light flashed over us. Next thing I knew, I woke up, but something didn't feel right, the events before felt all like a dream. I then ran into shadow who I remembered from before and picked a fight with him." I told him the whole speal about how me and shadow fought and I lost, he wrote down notes and called my story interesting. "I also see we need to work on angry issues." "yeah, whatever..." "now, now Mr.scourage, I know it's hard but trust me, a little chatting will not hurt anyone. After all, didn't it feel great to get all that stuff off your chest?" "yeah...a bit..." "very good, see you next week." "if I even make it till then..." I thought.   behind the writing Scourage: oh well, I may be in jail, but at least there's no other alterative sonic's in this one, let alone that warehog. Fleetway super-sonic leans on scourages head while eating a carrot Super sonic: what's up doc... Scourage: you gotta be kidding me...

act 1   Even in mobious sonic and the gang would find themselves facing harsh winter weather conditions. “uh…I hate this weather.” Said sonic going into the Freedom fighters HQ, shivering. “well no wonder! Put something like a jacket or snow gear on sonic! You’re going to get a cold!” “she’s got a point sonic…” said sally. Sonic just ignored the two. He didn’t know why but amy and sally where getting on his case lately about things. “hey tails, any sign of eggman.” Sonic said going over to tails. “no, surprisingly he hasn’t really been up to much…” This was more than true. Back at eggman’s layer he tried thinking of a good plan to defeat sonic and the freedom fighters. “something the wrong doctor eggman?” asked orbot. “yes! I bet those freedom fighters are wondering why I haven’t attacked them.” “well, why haven’t you?” asked orbot. “because I’m tired of failing orbot! I want something that can help me defeat sonic or give the freedom fighters a run for their money, not just a bunch of badniks going in and falling more for the over 9000th time.” “well, it is a good idea to sort of strategize some sort of idea that will really work.” “yeah, you’re right, but what…” A portal suddenly opened up in doctor eggman’s layer. “what is the meaning of this!” said doctor eggman, standing back in fear. Back at freedom fighters HQ, nighttime had fallen. sonic and tails went out and looked at the stars, just to get there mind off things. “you feeling better bud?” asked sonic. “yeah…” said tails. “I’m glad shadow got maria back, though it would have been nice if he asked us to borrow the emeralds, or just told us the situation.” “we probably wouldn’t have believed him to be honest…” “well, I hope more of those we lost in the old world come back.” “same here. Stupid genesis reboot. No wonder we’re keeping an eye on eggman more closely.” Just then, Nights came down from the sky to greet sonic and tails. “hey sonic, hey tails.” “nights! Long time no see.” Said sonic. Sonic and tails knew nights fairly well. She was a dream guardian who would try to chase away bad dreams from those who had them in mobious. “I’m glad I ran into you two, I need your help.” “ok nights, we’re all ears.” Back at doctor eggman’s layer, wizemen the wicked had entered doctor eggman’s layer. “who the heck are you!” said eggman. “I am wizemen the wicked. I’d like you’re with something doctor eggman, something involving getting rid of that hedgehog and his gang.” “I’m all ears…” said doctor eggman with a smile.   act 2:   Sonic and tails lead dreams into the freedom fighters HQ quietly as just about everyone was asleep. “so what do you need our help with?” asked sonic. “you know the chaos emeralds that you have in this world?” said nights. “yeah…” “wizeman made something similar to it in the dream world, known as the dream emerald. Because of it, he’s become very powerful.” “so he made something like a chaos emerald in the dream world and is using it?” “I know it’s hard to believe, trust me, but it’s true. It’s because of this power that I’ve been banished from the dream world. While I can survive in the real world for a while, without me protecting nightopia bad things will happen…” “how are we gonna get into the dream world though?” said tails. “as long as I’m around and you two are asleep, the portal is there. I can’t enter it with you however, every time I do I get knocked back.” “well then, let’s take care of this wizman!” said sonic. Outside the freedom fighters window was Fiona, bean, and bart lessoning in. “huh, dreamtopia.” Said Fiona. “and can enter dreams as long as where near her…” “come on Fiona you’re not going to do this are you?” said bart. “you bet I am! Come on guys, tails is still head over heels for me. I bet with enough flirting and convincing he’ll be a part of our little group, and trust me, we need him.” “well if you say so.” Said bean. “trust me, I know what I’m doing, that and you two owe me for failing me during that bank robbery.” Said Fiona. “true…” burt said back. “now then, ready some shut eye?” asked nights. “yep.” Said sonic. “sure.” Said tails. “now keep in mind the two of you may be split a part in this dream world. If this is the case try to stop some of wizemen’s evil minions in other parts and meet up at his zone.” “got it.” said sonic giving a thumbs up before he closed his eyes. Tails, sonic, and Fiona outside closed their eyes and slept, all going into the dream world. Back at eggman’s base, wizemen explained everything to eggman. “so you want to use some of my robots to stop the hedgehog?” asked eggman. “yes. Trust me on this deal eggman, for if I control all the mobion’s dreams, they will not want to sleep, and find themselves tired, tired enough to get captured by you.” said wizemen. Eggman’s smile was bigger than a kid on Christmas eve. “that plan is genus!” said eggman. “badnik’s! enter the dream portal and do anything and everything to stop sonic the hedgehog and any of his friends who join aside him! This plan is too good to slip up on or fail!” said eggman. One by one, the robots entered the portal. Eggman smiled in glee. “this time I win sonic…”   act 3:   Sonic’s story sonic arrived in the dream world, sadly without tails by his side. “be safe wherever you are tails…” he said after calling his name. He looked around the place. It looked sort of like the green hill zone but with rings floating here and there, and the sky was grey. “huh, wired. This is the dream world though, so I mind as well get used to it while I’m here…” he said. Doctor eggman’s robots came out of the hills and started attacking sonic. “well, here goes nothing…” he said. Sonic easily destroyed the robots as usual, however, they rebuilt themselves and started attacking again. “oh great, one of my few worst nightmares would come true in this world.” Sonic once again smashed the robots into pieces, only for those pieces to not only rebuild but multiply into more robots. “I’ve seen enough mythiagical stories to know where this is going…” sonic said before dashing off from the robots. Sonic got away from them only to be stopped by wizemen. “running away already are we sonic?” “I take it you’re wizemen” said sonic. “a hologram, but yes, I am wizemen, the one and only. If you’re here, I take it nights has told you about my little dream emerald…” “you bet…” “and if you think you’re going to take it from me then you’re dead wrong hedgehog, even if doctor eggman wasn’t working with me I would crush you and you’re two tailed buddy in a matter of minutes. I’d do it quickly but what’s the fun in that?” “why am I not surprised eggman is working with you?” asked sonic, with his arms crossed. “spilled beans or not, you’re going to be splattered all over the place if you don’t turn back now mr.sonic.” “no way.” “suit yourself…” said wizemen disappearing. Sonic continued to run though the dream land. “I better either find tails or get this dream emerald before he gets hurt.” Said sonic, as he continued to run towards wizemen’s castle.   Tails story: Tails awoke on the ground with his head throbbing a bit. “oh my head.” He looked around. The land he was in was wired. Everything was made out of food. The hills where cheesecakes, the sun was a giant cookie, tails couldn’t help but take some bites from the sweet food hills. “well, this makes me glad that I tagged along in this adventure.” Tails blood went colder than a normal winter day. He turned around to see Fiona standing by. “w-what are you doing here?” “before you say it, no, I’m not just a part of this dream. Me, bean and bart where outside snooping, when we saw what was going on. So I decided to join you’re dream and here I am.” Fiona got closer to tails, who backed up a bit before Fiona grabbed him and put him close to her. “admit it big guy, you’re glad I’m back and crossed over from the other world. You want me, I know you do.” The sad thing was, Fiona was right. Tails didn’t know how she regained some of her memory, but he wish she didn’t. “it’s all coming back to me now, You little pesky fox. You had a big crush on me. I might not remember much, but that’s what I remember the most. Now how about you and me ditch this dream world, and you join me, bean, and bart.” “no…” said tails calmly. “oh I don’t know tails, that actually sounds like a good idea…” Tails and Fiona looked up to see Reala laying back in mid-air with his arms crossed looking down on the two. “and who are you?” asked Fiona. “names Reala, enemy of nights. Word in the dream world has it that some wild animals from mobious have decided to come and have some fun, along with trying to get a certain dream emerald wizemen has.” “dream emerald?” “this is why I wish you didn’t barge in…” said tails. “don’t be so fast to say that tails, you just may need her…” Reala sent a giant dark ball at the two, tails jumped out of the way. “hey what’s the big idea!” “sorry Fiona, but no people from sonic’s universe/zone/whatever allowed. Wizemen’s orders. Now then, let’s put you and you’re girlfriend to the test tails. “she is not my girlfriend!” tails said back angrily. “not yet…” Fiona added. Tails just gave her a look, then grabbed her hand and ran as Reala thew more dark balls at the two. The two hid behind the giant chocolate mountain. “come out come out wherever you are…” said Reala. Reala spotted them, but didn’t reveal it to them. Instead, he decided to give them a bit of bad news. “gee, this food does look delicious. Shame this food also makes people sleepy.” Tails got worried. “he’s gotta be bluffing” he whispered to Fiona. Sadly, he wasn’t. Soon, tails and Fiona started feeling sleepy. They tried to stay awake, but soon found themselves sleeping side by side, holding hands. “aw, how cute…” said Reala, grabbing the two and flying away with them.   act 4:     Sonic’s story Sonic continued to run though the dream land. “he’s getting closer…” said wizemen. “but not for long…” Before sonic knew it the ground beneath him turned wet and slippery. Soon, water was under him. Sonic tried swimming but sadly this was one thing he didn’t know how to do, even with sally trying to teach him how to. “what’s the big idea!” said sonic, trying to stay a-float. “what’s wrong sonic? A little water bringing you to a hault?” “not cool wizeman…” “oh boo hoo, I though hedgehogs were supposed to swim…oh well, enjoy the water sonic!” “man I wish I had a boat.” Sonic said, still trying to stay above the surface. Soon, a motor boat appeared near sonic. He quickly got in it. “thanks for the boat wizemen!” he said. “that wasn’t me…that was you. You wished it up, and dreamed it.” “well, I think things are going to be a bit easier from here on out…” sonic said with a smirk. “you know what, you’re right sonic, here, let me make things more challenging.” Giant waves started heading towards sonic’s boat. He quickly put the boat in gear and started driving threw them, hoping the boat wouldn’t tip over. “hold on…I’m not done cranking up the waves just yet…” said wizemen. Indeed he was right, the waves got bigger and bigger. Sonic thought up of a sub and got in it quickly. “wise choice sonic, only thing is, I’ve got a little friend for you to meet…” said wizemen. Sonic heard a whale moan. “oh you gotta be kidding me…” Soon a giant whale with red eyes headed towards sonic’s sub. “mep…” said sonic. He put his hands tightly on the steering wheel of the sub and put the petal to the metal. The whale chased him down, managing to bump into the sub a couple of times, trying to crash the blue hedgehog. “you’re not going to catch me you over grown mammal!” he shouted back. “that’s what you think!” said the whale. “oh great, it can talk…” sonic said rolling his eyes. “well of course I can talk this is a dream!” The whale got more and more closer to crashing sonic. Sonic was heading to land though, almost reaching it. “almost there…” he said. The whale finally pounced on the sub. The sub started sinking lower and lower. “not this time!” sonic jumped out and managed to escape, and just made it to land. “sonic 2, wizemen 0.” “Don’t get too cocky now sonic, you still haven’t reached my castle, and I know 2 ladies who are going to make sure you don’t!” Wizemen threw a giant orb at sonic, while it didn’t hurt, it did take sonic to a strange place full of blocks leading up. He was also wearing PJ’s. “ok, who turned on the wired switch?” “SONIC!” sonic turned around. Looking at him were a giant sally and amy rose, looking angry. “mep…”   Tails story Tails woke up tied up to Fiona fox, who was also starting to wake up. “wakey wakey love birds…” said Reala. “ugh…” said tails “you two are my prisoner’s now. You can’t escape, and I’m not going to let you escape and try to get the dream emerald. Worst part is, you two are most likely going to be trapped here forever…” “what? You can’t do that!” said tails. “oh I can. You two may be awake here, but in the real world you’ll be in a coma, never to wake up.” “that’s what you think jack! I’m one dangerous fox, just ask my pal here.” Fiona said confidently. “you two made a mistake coming here. In this world anything is possible, including me winning.” Reala left the two in the room alone. This took tails by surprise. “strange, I thought he would stay in here and keep watching us.” “just goes to show how crummy of a villain he is…” said Fiona, who then got out a knife she had in her back pocket and got her and tails free. “come on big guy, unless you’d like to stay in a coma for the rest of your days I suggest you work with me.” “very well…” said tails, grabbing fiona’s hand as she pulled him up. The two left the room, only to find Reala there waiting for them…. “sorry for leaving the room suddenly, just in case you thought I was going easy on you, here’s some robots from good old doctor eggman…” Reala said. Doctor eggman’s badnik’s charged at the duo. Fiona and tails  took them out, but just like with sonic they built themselves up and multiplied. “I’m surprised doctor eggman hasn’t come up with such a great plan like this…” said Reala. “just great, now what?” asked Fiona. “come on…” said tails grabbing her hand and running. Reala chased them down along with the robots. The two then went into a room and closed the door. “put stuff in front of the door! I’ll try looking for an exit…” said tails. “you got it, just one problem…there’s nothing in here.” Said Fiona. Indeed she was right. the room was blank. “you think there’s a chance I can dream up a door to get out of here?” Reala banged on the door. “come out love birds…it’s time to face you’re doom…” “at this point it’s worth a try…” said Fiona with a worried look. “you can’t hide in there forever…” said Reala jiggling the door handle.   act 5:   Sonic’s story   “look you two…” sonic said looking nervously up at the two giant women. “I don’t know what this is all about but I can assure you it’s something I’m willing to discuss after I go defeat wizemen.” Amy slammed her hammer down on the block sonic was standing, sonic jumped out of the way and started claiming the stairs to get away from them. “Come back sonic, I just want to talk!” amy said angrily, slamming her hammer down on anther block. Sally joined in on this slamming her fist down on a block. “Get back here sonic! All’s amy wants to do is talk to you!” “I’ll talk to her when she puts down the hammer!” said sonic. He soon regret saying this, as the two started slamming blocks like nobody’s business. “me and my big mouth…” said sonic. “wouldn’t be the 1st time you used it to hurt me sonic the jerkhog!” Sally shouted. Sonic eventually saw the door out. “bingo.” He said. He quickly ran to it and made it just before amy or sally could grab him. He panted catching his breath. “alright wizemen…what next…” “well, glad to see you finally could make it…” said wizemen, with his arms crossed looking down on sonic. Sonic looked around. The place he was at was dark, there wasn’t much light other than a few white lights and wizemen himself. “welcome to my castle…” “not really a castle, more of just a dark place.” Sonic said. “exactly…” said wizemen. “this is where all dreams come to die, and where you’re going to be for a long time…I may not be able to kill you, but I can make sure that you’re in a coma for the rest of your days…just like with what Reala is trying to do to your poor pal tails and his friend Fiona…” “fiona?” said sonic. “a Fiona fox. You wouldn’t believe the people you’ll meet in the dream world.” Sonic was more than worried now. Even if it was just a dream form he didn’t want the poor fox to deal with the same heart ache the real one had caused him. “alright wizemen, I think it’s time you tell me where the dream emerald is…” “if you want it, you’re going to have to defeat me for it…” Sonic spin dashed at wizmen, but he disappeared before any contact was made. He tried again but once more wizemen wasn’t there. “the old disappear before anyone can hit you trick huh?” said sonic. “yes…it’s quite useful, especially to idiot hedgehogs like you…” Wizemen soon blasted a combination of shadow orbs and doctor eggman’s robots at sonic, sonic tried to dodge them but he wasn’t so successful. “give up hedgehog, you have no chance here in my world…” “jumping to conclusions a bit too soon now are we?” “I don’t think so…” said wizemen, blasting more orbs at sonic. Sonic imagined up a rock to hide behind. “there’s nowhere to run or hide sonic…” said wizemen. He soon appeared right in front of the hedgehog, causing him to yelp a bit, and tossed him. “you’ve failed hedgehog…” “one little toss won’t put me down…” sonic said stumbling too his feet. “how about some spikes then…” said wizemen, grabbing sonic and tossing him into a pit of spikes. Sonic though up of a platform to save him at the last second. “there’s gotta be something I can do to defeat this guy…maybe I can turn super…” he thought. Sonic dreamed up of some emeralds. He then closed his eyes and tried to channel the super form, but nothing happen. “shame the power up won’t work in this world…” said wizemen throwing anther orb at sonic. Just then, sonic got an idea. “I know something that will thought.” He closed his eyes. Once more anther orb hit sonic, and anther, tossing him back a lot. “face it sonic, you’re not leaving this place with what you came here for…” “funny thing is…” sonic said reveling that he had the emerald, “I already have it…” Wizemen couldn’t believe his eyes. There it was, the dream emerald in sonic’s hand. “how…” he asked. “let’s just say it came to me in a dream.” Sonic said. The emerald glowed and a door with an exit sign in wired shapes and different colors appeared. This was perfect timing, as wizemen was 200% angry. “IF YOU THINK I’M GOING TO LOOSE TO YOU THIS EASILY HEDGEHOG YOU’RE WRONG!” he said. His floating hands tried grabbing the hedgehog but sonic dodged them. “and if you think you’re going to kick my friend Nights out of this world for good then YOU’RE wrong.” Sonic jumped thought the door and immediately woke up. “sonic you ok?” nights asked. “yeah.” he said, showing he had the dream emerald in his hand.   Tails story Tails and Fiona made it thought the door, which then disappeared. They found themselves in a white area, with nothing other than shapes and outlines of hills and other objects. “how do I get myself into messes like this?” tails said. “oh cheer up, I’ve had it worse.” Said Fiona. “how so?” said tails, giving her a dirty look. “besides, you’re the one who had a powerful group and betrayed the freedom fighters.” “you don’t know why I did it thought…why I truly did it. you see tails, I was a wreak. You’re freedom fighters abandon me at doctor robotnik’s camp, I never found my parents, even when we got back to anti-mobious Scourage was acting like a control freak. To the genesis wave’s credit it happen just when he was about to flip his stuff and attack us again.” Tails sighed and felt like the biggest jerk on the planet. He didn’t know that Fiona went thought all of that, but hearing this made him understand what made her snap. He went over and hugged Fiona tightly. “I’m sorry…” he said. Fiona was a bit shocked, but at the same time touched by the fox’s hug. “it’s ok tails, you didn’t know, and I was in a bad state of mind at the time.” she said, petting the fox on the head. “how touching…” said Reala. “great…this clown again…” said Fiona. “insult me all you want, but “this clown” is going to be making sure you’re here for a long, long, time.” Reala started throwing fire balls at the duo, who got out of the way of them in time. “I think it’s time we take this jerk out together…” said Fiona, putting her hand out to tails. “let’s do this…” he said grabbing it. tails then flew to the sky, dodging the fire balls. Fiona leaped and kicked Reala right in the face, knocking him down. Fioan then kicked him once more. “You messed with the wrong foxes freak.” She said. “you really think I’m going to give up so easily?” Fiona punched him back once more, sending him flying. “ugh…” he said, holding his head. “fine…but be warned…don’t be surprised if wizemen wants you’re head on a silver platter.” He then flew off. A door then popped up with the word exit over it. “I guess this is the end of our adventures…” said Fiona, walking over to the door with tails. “and that we’re going to have to be enimies again…” “maybe…who knows, maybe if you press the write buttons, I’ll be a good girl again…” she said booping the foxes nose. “see you soon…oh, and here’s my apology gift for slapping you…” fiona grabbed tails and kissed him right on the lips. Tails kissed back blushing, and after that, she parted… “apology accepted…” he said, before walking though the door.   Aftermath Fiona woke up. She got up and started walking. “so what happen?” asked bean. “oh nothing, nothing that interesting.” “so did you convince him to join our side?” bart asked. “you could say that…” said Fiona. “come on, let’s see who else decided to join me in this world.” Back at freedom fighters HQ nights thanked sonic and tails greatly for stopping wizemen. “it was our pleasure.” “thank you for also saving Reala too tails.” “no problem..” tails said. “well, I’m heading back to the dream world, see you two hopefully soon.” The duo waved and said goodbye to nights, as she flew off. “so tails…did you see anybody you knew in the dream world?” “uh…no…” tails said nervously. Before sonic could grill him anymore, sally and Nicole walked out to them. “what are you two doing out here?” asked sally. “and what’s that in your hand?” asked Nicole. “it’s a long story…or dream in this case…” said sonic.   Later that night Fiona fox watched the moon and thought to herself. “sorry to leave you again tails, now’s not the time to be around me. she said to herself. “once again I’m a wreak, and all because I broke my own “can’t count on anybody” rule. Thanks a lot scourage…” she said, trying to stop a tear from falling.  

[THE FINAL BETRAYAL]   in a jail cell, a female mobian fox with reddish-orange fur and brown hair dressed in a black leather two-piece catsuit with a yellow bow upon her head sat in utter silence. Fiona Fox was no stranger to a prison cell. she'd been in so many, It seemed almost natural. but, oddly enough..she had no plans, or even thoughts of escape. her face that usually bore expressions of malice, and sinister cunning was now blank. Fiona had lost the will to live. She had no desire to go on. Not after the look *HE* gave her upon her arrest. a single tear fell down her cheek..followed by a soft sob. "what have I done?" muttered Fiona, under breath. "what have I done.." Just then, the sound of a lock unlatching was heard. Fiona watched as her cell door swung open..and, in walked a pair of male mobian Lynx' dressed in black. "On your feet, prisoner." spoke one of the Lynx' "Your 'trial' is underway." Fiona grimaced as she stood up. she stood still as the Lynx guard's shackled her wrists and ankles, and led her out of her cell. It was a long, LONG walk down the cold stone corridors. Fiona maintained her a dull, lifeless expression as she passed the other cells. Finally, Fiona was led through a pair of doors..and, into a large chamber. It certainly looked like a courtroom..but, was oriental in design. the reason of which was all too clear, as sitting atop the platform was "Conquering Storm", leader of the Raiju Ninja Clan. C. Storm kept her cold eyes trained on Fiona as she was led to a podium. "Fiona Fox.." began C. Storm, her tone of voice hostile, yet calm. "You stand accused of dishonoring the Raiju Clan." C. Storm then smirked. "OR, should I say..Dishonoring my heir, "Rising Storm." C. Storm gestured over to a five year old overlander boy with reddish-brown hair, green eyes and wearing clothing similar to the Clan Leader. Fiona knew the boy all too well. "LIAR!!" shouted Fiona, suddenly. "His name is Felix, and he is MY SON!!" "SILENCE!!" snapped C. Storm, angrily "Do not shame yourself any further..or, I shall choose to skip this trial over in favor of an "Execution." Fiona glared at the Lynx..but, her anger soon ebbed upon seeing the look on Felix/R. Storm's face as *HE* looked at her. Fiona backed down, defeated. "good. Now..Let us begin." began C. Storm. "Reveal to the clan *YOUR* Story, Fiona Fox. Tell us all just who you are." Fiona looked down. sighing, she spoke up. "my story..began in the earliest days of the Robotnik War nearly a decade ago." C. Storm bore an amused smirk as she sat back in her chair. "go on." "I was one of many prisoners of Robotnik. At a camp where I was held, I shared a cell with Mighty Armadillo and Ray Squirrel of the Chaotix." "The Raiju Clan are familiar with the Chaotix." said C. Storm. "As the sole son of Constant Vigil of the Shinobi Clan is one of them." "yes..Well, we tried to escape once. But, we failed." continued Fiona. "I was taken to a private cell, while Mighty and Ray were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog." Fiona looked down "I was..l-left behind. Abandoned." C. Storm bore no sympathy for Fiona..though, Felix/R. Storm looked at Fiona with soft eyes. "When It became apparent that NOBODY was coming to save me, I decided to save myself." continued Fiona. "That became my whole ideology: Rely on no one, Trust NO ONE." "a wise policy on certain occasions." said C. Storm. "But, to live life with no real loyalty is to live a dishonorable life." Fiona scowled at Conquering Storm. "you think I give a-" "Let us get right to the point of this Trial." began C. Storm, cutting off Fiona. "Tell us how you first encountered Rising Storm." Fiona growled hatefully at the Lynx. "I was with the Suppression Squad at the time. We were doing what we usually do: Spreading Chaos, Mayhem, and just doing whatever we pleased.  Scourge, my boyfriend at the time, chose to loot an Overlander Town that Eggman had recently attacked. the town's people had already deserted, leaving RIPE for the taking." Fiona breathed out softly as she recalled her next memory. "While we scavenged the place..I found a three year old boy wandering the streets. he was alone..and, calling for his mother and father." Fiona choked up. "I knew then that like ME, he had been abandoned by his family..left to die.  So, I took him back with me to Moebius..and, for three years I raised him, protected him, LOVED him." "and, then YOU left him to die." finished C. Storm, eyeing Fiona darkly. "NO!, It wasn't like that!!" protested Fiona. "Oh, I think It is." said C. Storm. "According to Rising Storm, You and the "Green Hedgehog" were doing some errands for the "Pastey Faced Echidna."  you were attacked by the "Dog Men", resulting in the base being completely destroyed.  He saw you..he looked you RIGHT in the eyes when you and "Scourge", is it?, made your escape through the "Magic Ring"..and, left him to his fate." Fiona gritted her teeth as she looked away. "scourge, he..he MADE me leave. he said he would either escape with me..or, alone." "So, you chose to save your own skin by sacrificing an innocent child that you PRETENDED to love." said C. Storm bitterly. "I DIDN'T PRETEND!, I *DO* LOVE HIM!!!" shouted Fiona, tears in her eyes. "You aren't fooling anyone, Fox. Truth is..This whole trial is unnecessary. I already know everything about you." C. Storm stood up, and looked down at Fiona. "I know that you were a mercenary, who was once with Nic Weasel, and the Destructix.  I know you were once part of the Freedom Fighters, AND Sonic's girlfriend..until you betrayed them all for Scourge, and his Suppression Squad." Fiona looked visibly shocked. "How do you know tha-" "Trust No One", THAT is your philosophy." continued C. Storm. "but, you left out one other part of your creed: "Trust No One..and, use EVERYONE." C. Storm smirked as she took a porcelain cup, and sipped some tea. "You are a Trickster, Fiona Fox. a "Twister of Truth." You lie, manipulate, and betray as if it were second to breathing.  and, It is clear to everyone present that you never really loved "Felix", as you call him.  no. you pretended to love him so he would trust you (looks at Fiona) just as that twin-tailed fox once did." Fiona bore a stunned expression on her face. "You tricked that poor boy into adopting you as his mother..Then, you go and have your revenge over your alleged abandonment by your parents by abandoning HIM." "no. n-no, that isn't-" "Trust No One" said C. Storm. "No doubt THAT is what you were hoping to teach him, yes? that NO ONE can be trusted..not even your own mother." "NO!!, THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! THAT'S-" "BE SILENT!, The Conquering Storm speaks." snapped C. Storm. as Fiona stared, C. Storm continued to speak. "The boy you CLAIM to love is lucky to be alive. Fortunately, while Finitevus base was falling apart, he stumbled upon one of his spare Warp Rings.  the mystic talisman transported him HERE in the far east..right in Raiju Territory." C. Storm smiled as she sat back down..then, placed her hand on the silent boy in question. "Some of my clan were foolish enough to want to kill him..but, I was there to remind them of our bylaws regarding innocent children.  We showed him customary hospitality. We fed him, clothed him, gave him a place to sleep.  Normally, I would have had him sent to that fool Khan, and his so-called "Free People."  but..I saw something in the child. Something that intrigued me.  and, upon consulting with Endless Reach of the Gossamer Clan..I knew that his place was with US. with ME." "What are you talking about?!" said Fiona, confused. C. Storm smiled. "those arachnids foretold that the boy would grow to become powerful, a "Rising Storm" to be reckoned with." C. Storm grinned sinisterly. "My people value STRENGTH above all else. Rising Storm is destined to be mighty..and, who better than I to nurture such a prodigy." "BUT-!" "Enough!" snapped C. Storm, rising up suddenly. "Fiona Fox..you are UNWORTHY to call yourself his mother. he is part of the Raiju Clan, now.  and, by betraying him..you have DISHONORED Me, and the Clan." C. Storm clenched her fist tightly. "and, for your dishonor..you will be put to DEATH. By dawns light, your head shall adorned my throne room as a warning to all of what happens when they cross-" "Master, WAIT!!" C. Storm looked to R. Storm angrily. "RISING STORM!, I did not give you permission to SPEAK!!" R. Storm bowed respectfully. "Forgive me, Master. but, PLEASE hear me out." C. Storm stared at the young child..then, breathed out. "very well..SPEAK." "Master, PLEASE. don't kill her." C. Storm scoffed at this. "She has betrayed you, Dishonored us. she MUST be punished." "Then, Punish her. but, PLEASE..don't take her life." Fiona was shocked at this. shocked that even after what she did, even after doing exactly what her parents did to her..her son STILL wanted mercy for her. C. Storm was also quite surprised. "Rising Storm, WHAT have I told you about showing compassion?!" said C. Storm, scolding R. Storm. "She is manipulating you. Using your feelings to save her own skin..AGAIN." the boy looked at the Lynx. "Maybe what I feel WAS just a lie..but, part of me wants to believe that SOME of It was real." R. Storm touched C. Storm's tunic. "please, mom. show her mercy..for ME?" Fiona felt hurt upon hearing her "son" address C. Storm as his "mother." C. Storm herself glared at her "son", feeling angry that he broke taboo by calling her "mother" in public. but, upon looking into his glossy green eyes..the Lynx cold heart ebbed. finally, she turned away from the boy. breathing out sharply. "very well, Rising Storm. for YOU, and nothing else." growled C. Storm darkly Conquering Storm then glared at Fiona again. "Fiona Fox..You deserve nothing but death for all you have done. BUT, I will share you mercy just. this. once." Fiona swallowed hard as she listened to what C. Storm said next. "You..shall live. Live for the rest of your life locked away the dungeon..where no one can hear your lies and deceit any longer." Fiona gasped at this. "but..But, you CAN'T!!" "Iron bars, or cold steel." growled C. Storm. "Take your pick. Either way, you won't be hurting the heir to the Raiju Clan anymore." C. Storm then snapped her fingers, prompting her guards to retrain and pick Fiona onto her feet. "Guards..Take her away to her "new home." As the Lynx Guards drug Fiona away, she fought against them and screamed. "no..No!, NO!! FELIX!! I'M SORRY, FELIX!!, I'M SO SORRY!! PLEASE..DON'T LET THEM DO THIS!!" Felix/R. Storm stayed close to C. Storm, clutching the cloth part of her tunic. "Felix, PLEASE!!" exclaimed Fiona again. the human child looked at Fiona fearfully. he then hid his face away..while C. Storm shielded him protectively. tears flowed down Fiona's stunned face. the realization of what she had done finally sinking in. "get that despicable creature out of my sight..NOW." commanded C. Storm, sternly. Fiona wept loudly as she was dragged away. once gone, Conquering Storm GLARED at Rising Storm. the boy stepped back, feeling a little scared of his Master, and Mother. "uhh.." "Go to your room, Rising Storm. and, await for me." said C. Storm, sternly. "You and I have MUCH to discuss." the boy nodded sadly and he slowly turned, and walked away. [Later] Rising Storm sat quietly on his bed, swinging his tiny feet as he waited for his mother. just then, the door opened..and, in walked Conquering Storm. the Lynx cast a glare at the young child..then, removed her hat and approached the boy. "what have I taught you." "Mom, I-" "What HAVE I always taught you!!?" exclaimed C. Storm, demanding an answer. R. Storm gripped his arm as he spoke solemnly. "to..show compassion is to show weakness." "Exactly!, and no son of mine is going to be WEAK." "But, MOM!-" "DO NOT REBUKE YOUR MOTHER, and MASTER!!" snapped C. Storm. "B-But, I don't understand. WHY is is so bad to be kind to people!?" "Because people like that *FOX* will take advantage of your Kindness. They'll manipulate you..and, then stab you in the back when you least expect it!!" C. Storm then knelt down, and gripped R. Storm's shoulder. "DAMMIT, Rising Storm!! Don't you understand that I am only trying to protect you!!?" R. Storm looked at his mother with teary eyes. "Is It protecting me when you get angry every time I hug you, and say that I love you?!" C. Storm looked at R. Storm. "You know our ways. we cannot show ANY affection in publi-" "WHY!? Why are you so ashamed of me!!?" explained R. Storm, tears in his eyes. "Why can't I call you Mom!?, and..why won't you call me "son." R. Storm turned away before C. Storm could answer him. "It may have all been a lie..but, when Ms. Fiona hugged me, kissed me, and said that she loved me. It..it felt real. and, It made me happy to be loved." R. Storm then shed a tear. "or, at least..FEEL like I was loved." C. Storm looked at the boy with soft eyes. he he started to cry, maternal instincts overruled her Raiju Nature..and, she hugged the sobbing child. "oh, my son..I *DO* love you. That is why I have done all this, so she can't hurt you anymore. but, the ways of the Raiju Clan are sacred. I cannot afford to show affection to anyone..As leader of Raiju, I must be remain strong, and WITHOUT weakness." C. Storm then touched R. Storm's chin, making him look at her. "but, what I do and say in public..is NOT how I truly feel about you.  I am not ashamed of you, I love you. You are my son..and, I know you will make me proud someday." R. Storm wept. he then embraced his adoptive mother, hugging her tightly. "I love you, mom." C. Storm smiled as she stroked his hair. "and, I love you, too." [Much Later] Fiona sat alone in her dark cell of cold, damp stone. her mind racing. she cried softly, wondering how things could have gone so wrong. She wanted to blame someone for her heartache. she wanted to blame her parents, Robotnik, Sonic, Scourge and even Conquering Storm herself! but, the more she thought..the MORE she realized that she had no one else to blame but herself. It was her choice..It was ALWAYS her choice. she shut her eyes tight as tears flowed down her cheek. *Fiona, No!, PLEASE!!* Fiona wept harder as the voice of Tails echoed in her head. *I-It's okay if you don't want to like me! I mean.."LIKE ME" Like me.  but, PLEASE don't go with Scourge! I know you're good..All you have to do is try a little harder, and.* *Oh, Tails..you're so smart, but you haven't learned one fundamental lesson in life.* Fiona's body trembled as more tears threatened to break through. *You can't count on ANYBODY.* Fiona began to wail in anguish, a deep puddle forming at her feet. "oh, tails..why didn't I listen to you?" muttered Fiona. "I should have known Scourge was too selfish to care about anything but himself." Fiona gripped her arms, rubbing them. "now I've hurt the one thing I cared about the most." Fiona cried into her hands. "I..I am a monster. C-Conquering Storm should have just killed me. I..I wish I had never been born." As Fiona continued to cry..her cell door suddenly unlatched. she looked, and saw a familiar looking female Bat walk in. "tsk-tsk-tsk..Well, well, well. Look how the might have fallen." said Rouge, with a smirk. Fiona sneered at her old rival. "and, what do YOU want?! Have you come to gloat!?, well go on, get It over with. I don't care anymore." Rouge chuckled. "Oh, I didn't come here to Gloat..I came to "bust you out." Fiona raised an eyebrow as she stared at Rouge, Puzzled. "what?" Rouge smiled as she circled around Fiona. "I heard about your trial..Seemed pretty "fixed" if you ask me. and, Pretty neat how you NARROWING avoided having that pretty little head of yours becoming a decorative centerpiece." "GET to the point." Rouge drew out a file folder with the G.U.N. symbol stamped upon It. "THIS, is my point, Fi." Rouge tossed the folder at Fiona. the fox took It, and read the cover: "Task Force X?!" "That's the official name, BUT It also goes by another one." Fiona looked at Rouge. "Which IS??" Rouge grinned. "Suicide Squad. Think of It as a Black OPS unit, comprised of convicts.  It's a simple gig, really: Complete some missions for GUN, and you'll be rewarded with Money, Freedom, and whatever else you greedy black heart desires." Fiona looked at Rouge. "You expect me to believe that Conquering Storm is just going to let you take me out of here?!" "OH, believe me, I had quite a time convincing her to let you go." said Rouge, chuckling. "BUT, when I informed her that there is a chance you WON'T survive the missions we are giving you..We made a compromise." Fiona looked at Rouge. "I'm listening." "Lead a team on some "suicide missions", and IF you succeed, you'll get your son back." "and, If I FAIL?"Rouge chuckled. "What do *YOU* think?" Fiona looked at the file..then, sighed sharply. "Even if I DO succeed..my son no longer looks at me as his mother anymore. I betrayed his trust..betrayed and hurt him." "Look, whatever problems you have with the kid, I am SURE you can resolve on your own.  But, if you WANT to have your son back, then you have two choices: Rot in here..or, work for ME." Fiona stared darkly at Rouge. after a few minutes, she finally spoke: "what KIND of mission do you have for me?" [The End?]
