Sonic the Hedgehog: the Movie 2
 
by Nayr T'nargh
 
 Prologue
 
After the defeat of Mechanix, there was a lot to do. The enormous ship
had wreaked havoc on New Mobotropolis. One half of the castle was an enormous
pile of rubble. Scorch, Ami, Dr. Rose, and Amy had all left and Sonic was busy 
supervising the development of the castle. It had been three days since the 
attack, and Sonic wanted to go on a vacation. Of course Sally would come with
him and Tara would take care of the kids. It sounded like a plan...

Chapter 1

Tails was in the royal palace. It was a very special day for him.
Today, he and Tara were to get married. He was putting on his best clothes
to look superb for the ceremony. Many people were coming, most importantly Sonic.
Sonic was to be the Best man. He was kind of nervous. He had seen Sonic get
married and it was the most amazing and long lasting weddings he had ever heard of!
Still, he was nervous and couldnt figure out the reason why.
 * * *
The time had finally come. Tails and Tara were walking down the isle with a
bunch of flowers flying everywhere. After a bunch of mumbo jumbo the final moment
had arrived.
Tails, will you take this young lady to be your wife? To- the man was cut
off by Tails.
Of course! Tails said. Sonic started clapping in the silent room and Sally
gave him a nasty look and Sonic sat down. The man turned to Tara.
 Do you take- he was cut off again, this time by Tara.
 Yes, I do. said Tara, looking into Tails eyes. Tails smiled. The man smiled
and spoke.
I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. he said.
Tails lunged at Tara and gave the longest deepest kiss of them all. Except maybe
for Sonic, but he had waited his entire life for that day! They just stood there
kissing. Sonic was clapping and whistling. Everyone followed Sonics lead and
whistled and cheered. Finally they had stopped kissing. Tails gave Sonic a wink.
Sonic returned the gesture. The celebrations lasted for the next four days.
 
 * * *
 
In space someone looked at a viewscreen of Tails and Tara. He thought that
it was very peculiar for people to survive with such mechanisms which they referred
to as feelings. He sat in his chair just contemplating the scene. Then he pressed
a button. Reassembly commencing the computer showed. Victory would be his.
 
Chapter 2
 
Sonic was laying on the beach outside of New Mobotropolis. The rays beating
down on him gave him a relaxed feeling. Just as he was falling asleep, sand came
pouring on top of him. Sonic jumped to his feet and looked around. He saw Sara
trying to chase Scooter. Sonic looked more closely at the scene. Scooter was
holding one of his sisters toys. Scooter flew in front of him again hurling even
more sand at Sonic. Sonic chased after Scooter. He grabbed Scooter and sped off
with him.
Scooter, you know your sister isnt as fast as you, dont take her toys.
Sonic told him. Scooter frowned.
I was just having fun! Scooter complained. Sonic stopped and took away
the toy and gave it to Sara. Sonic sighed and tapped his foot, trying to think
of a good example of how taking other peoples things got him in trouble. He
snapped his fingers.
I have a story for you guys. Sonic said. The two childrens eyes went
wide. They squealed with excitement and sat down.
Whoa! You never tell us stories father! Sara said. Scooter smiled.
Im sure theyre more exciting than mothers! Scooter said. Sonic
grinned.
Of course they are! It happened back when Sally and I were freedom
fighters...
 
* * *
 
Sonic went flying through Robotropolis. He had stopped by there to pick
up a chili dog from one of the old machines there. Right now several swatbots
were in hot pursuit of him. He scarfed down the last chili dog and did a back
flip. The bots were quite confused and Sonic buzz sawed through all of them.
Sonic walked away and took it easy through the metallic city. Suddenly, he
tripped over something. Sonic got up and turned around to see a metallic ring
on a stone. He was about to pick it up when someone called after him.
Dont take that! the person called. Sonic turned around to see a
robot. Sonic tried to take it again.
I told you not to take it! said the robot. Sonic laughed and took
the ring and put it on. Then he ran back to Knothole. The robot lowered his
eyes and shook his head.
Maurice, you just sealed your fate. was all the robot said and turned
around walking into the light revealing the silhouette of a hedgehog.
 
* * *
 
Sonic was stopped by Sara who was listening intently to the story that
Sonic was telling.
Who was the robot hedgehog? asked Sara in awe. Sonic frowned.
To be honest, Im still not sure. Whoever it was, wasnt under
Robotniks control. said Sonic. Scooter was confused.
How do you know? asked Scooter. Sonic smiled.
Youll have to hear the rest of the story. was Sonics reply, and
continued on with his story.
 
* * *
 
Sonic returned to Knothole with the ring. He ran up to Sallys hut
and took off the ring. Sonic knocked on the door. Sally opened it.
Sonic! Whats wrong? asked Sally. It was past dark, and Sonic
usually would have been asleep. Sonic smiled.
You see, I had a bad craving for a midnight snack... Sonic began.
Sally sat there with her arms folded. ...and I went to Robotropolis for a
quick chili dog. Sally rolled her eyes. Anyway, I found this on the ground
there. Sonic showed Sally the ring. Sally squinted to see it in the dark.
Sonic why dont you come in? asked Sally. Sonic walked into Sallys
hut. Sally set the ring on the table and scrutinized it. Sally took out NICOLE.
Nicole, translate ancient symbols. Sally said. Nicole starting
flashing.
Processing Sally. Nicole responded and started beeping and flashing.
Symbols translate to free will. If anyone applies this ring to their finger,
they will receive free will if enslaved. If free, they will become enslaved to
whom they stole it.
Whos is it? asked Sally. Nicole flashed and tested the ring.
Julian Kintobar of the house of Ivo. Nicole responded. Sonic was bugging
out. Sally looked at Sonic.
Whats wrong? asked Sally. Sonic shook his head.
I already put the ring on... he moaned. Sally gasped.
Oh my gosh! Youll become enslaved to Robotnik! cried Sally. Sonic
looked at the finger he had worn the ring on. The finger was metallic.
 
* * *
 
Wow! You turned into a robot?! asked Scooter with awe. Like Catelyns
mom did a few days ago? Sonic was surprised, but blew it off, knowing that there
was some controversy over something about Bunnie. He didnt have the details,
though. Sonic answered Scooters question.
Well, kinda... Sonic started and then folded his arms. Just listen
to the story! Scooter folded his arms.
 
* * *
 
All of the main freedom fighters were sitting in a circle in Rotors
lab. Sonic stood on a pedestal surrounded by a curtain while Rotor
conducted experiments. Rotor turned the rest of the freedom fighters.
It seems that the ring has caused a chain reaction in his body that
will cause a continuous change from flesh to metal. Somewhat like being
roboticized slowly for about a week. Sonics free agency will be destroyed
within one week. Rotor said. He pulled open the curtain revealing Sonic.
He looked worse with nearly an entire arm robotic. Sonic shook his head.
Rote, is there any way to reverse the effects? asked Sonic. Rotor
sighed and shook his head.
I dont know. Id have to do more experiments. said Rotor.
Sonic walked out of the hut and cringed as the rest of his arm turned
robotic. Sally walked outside after Sonic.
Dont worry Sonic. Rotor will find a way to get you back. said
Sally her arm on Sonics metallic shoulder. Sonic smiled and kissed her.
You wont mind living with a robot for the rest of the week will you?
asked Sonic sarcastically. Sally just smiled.
As long as you dont touch me. Robots are way to cold. Sally said
teasingly. This seemed to offend Sonic though and he went back to his hut.
 
Sonic woke up the next day after a relatively good nights sleep after
all that had happened last night. Sonic stretched and got out of bed to get
ready. As he walked over to brush his teeth he saw himself in the mirror and
screamed. His reflection was horrifying. His entire chest was mostly mechanical
and the tops of his legs were too. This wasnt supposed to happen for another
three days. Sally came rushing in the door.
Sonic what happened? asked Sally. Sonic turned around and Sally gasped.
That wasnt supposed to happen for another four days! cried Sally.
Sonic winced and his legs turned metallic along with the rest of his chest.
Only his head was non-metallic. Sally gasped again.
Sonic, quickly! We need to have Rotor figure out whats happening.
Sally said. Sonic winked and picked up Sally. They dashed off toward Rotors lab.
 
Rotor shook his head and did one more diagnostic on Sonic. He then
walked over to Sally. Sonic got down from the table.
Sally, Im sorry. I shouldve recognized this before. The molecular
change in Sonic is doubling every second. He should be a major threat to us
by tomorrow morning. Rotor said sadly. I have something that might be able
to cure it, though.
How? asked Sally quickly.
Well, a power ring could restore him. When Sonic lost his memory, a
power ring restored his memory. Perhaps it will do the same for his body and
mind. Rotor suggested. Sally moaned.
Another ones not due for another 24 hours. Sally said. By then it
will be too late. Sonic sighed and shook his head.
Sal, in the morning my free will will be gone. Come with that ring
tomorrow and Ill be gone! Sonic told Sally.
Sonic! Dont sound so negative! Sally said fiercely.
Rotor, is there anything else we can do? 
We could pull out the deep power stone itself. Rotor said.
Its too powerful to try to use in this instance. Sonic smiled.
Looks like well have to wait till tomorrow. Sonic said.
Lets hope Im not a robot by then.
 
Sonic woke up the next morning and was surprised to see that he
still had control of his body. He dashed into the bathroom and looked
in the mirror. He saw a robot staring back at him except for the ears.
The ears were still flesh. He ran out to the ring pond.
The ring was frothing out of the pool. Sonic was about to dive for it when
he realized that his mechanical body would short-circuit.
He picked up a rock and threw it at the hovering ring. The ring moved
slightly, but fell back into the pool. Sally came running up behind
Sonic.
I missed it. Sonic said frowning. Sally smiled and jumped into the
pool. Electricity crackled around one of Sonics ears and it turned
robotic. Sally grabbed the ring which had not disappeared because it was
moved. Sonics other ear crackled with electricity. Sally came to the
surface and Sonic saw the electric field about to finish off Sonics last
bit of flesh. She threw him the ring. Sonic grabbed the ring just as his
last ear was about to turn to metal. The golden energy swirled around his body,
restoring his former self. Sonic took the ring and threw it in the pool.
It landed on the deep power stone and it was destroyed by the energy.
Im glad to have you back! Sally said hugging Sonic gently. Sonic smiled.
So am I Sal, so am I. Sonic said and they all walked back to their huts.
 
* * *
 
Aww! That wasnt nearly as exciting as the story about Pinewood! Scooter
complained. Sonic looked at him sternly.
It wasnt supposed to be! Anyway, Im sure your mother told a pretty
pathetic version of that story, too! Sonic said defending himself. This was a
story as to why you dont take things that dont belong to you. Its also called
stealing. Pleased dont do it again. Im hungry, though. Anyone for a chili-dog?
asked Sonic grinning. Scooter was already heading to the chili-dog stand. Sonic
picked up Sara and sped off.
 
* * *
 
At the ground zero where pieces of fused metal were strewn across the rather
large crater, a nut and bolt started to vibrate. The mega power ring had left a
50 kilometer radius crater in part of the Great Forrest. A shard of metal started
to vibrate and slowly move towards the center of the crater as did the nut and bolt.
Soon all the pieces came closer to the center and you could see a bright glow.
All the pieces started floating and spun around in a circular motion. They all
came together in a blinding blue-white flash. Standing in the center of the crater
was a perfect copy of Mechanix. The robot shook his head and looked around. His
memory banks recalled the explosion of the power ring inside of him. Mechanix
pondered as to why he was standing there at that moment. Just then Mechanix
received a call from his home base.
Lord Mechanix speaking, what is your desire? asked Mechanix. A figure in
the shadows of the ship as to not reveal his identity spoke to him.
You have failed me once. It was not entirely your fault, though. Thats why
I rebuilt you. said the figure. It was mainly because of Sonics transformation
that you were destroyed. With that power ring gone, nothing can stop our goal.
Mechanix grinned and then gritted his teeth.
My ship was destroyed, master. Mechanix told the figure. The figure smiled.
I rebuilt that too said the figure. Mechanix snickered.
Victory will be mine. I shall not lose my master. said Mechanix.
The figure didnt smile.
I should hope so. was his reply and ended the transmission. Mechanix
teleported aboard his ship.
Stealth mode. Mechanix commanded. One of his robot slaves turned the
vessel invisible ready to strike. All Mechanix needed now was a way to
infiltrate. He saw a familiar hedgehog eating a chili-dog on the screen.
Mechanix smiled as he set to work on enslaving Mobius with a new brilliant idea.
 
* * *
 
Sonic was eating his chili-dog with gusto, when Rotor came running to
get him. Rotor was trying to keep his glasses from falling off his face,
but managed to keep all the papers he was holding with him. Sonic turned
around from the table to greet Rotor.
Sonic, Uncle Chuck and I have something to show you in the lab.
Come quick! Rotor told Sonic. Sonic motioned toward the kids.
Umm... dont I look slightly preoccupied at the moment? Sonic
asked. Rotor smiled.
They can come too.
 
* * *
 
Whats happenin Unc? asked Sonic. Uncle Chuck frowned and the
screen zoomed into space. Sonic saw a huge vessel. Sonic scratched his head.
Whats that? Sonic asked. Uncle Chuck shook his head.
Im not sure. Uncle Chuck replied and shook his head again looking
down. I dont like the looks of it, though. Uncle Chuck got up and smiled.
What is it Unc? asked Sonic.
I have something for you, nephew. he said and walked into his
closet. After rummaging around for awhile in the closet, he pulled out a
metal stand. Remember the deep power stones?
Of course Sonic replied. Sir Charles pulled out one of the deep
power stones and set it on the stand. He then took the stand and put it
under water. The stone glowed and brought forth a power ring. Sonic shrugged.
Yeah, so? Sonic asked. Uncle Chuck pressed a button and another power
ring came. Sonic gaped.
Thats amazing! You can create power rings at your own will? asked
Sonic. Both rings disappeared. Uncle Chuck nodded.
You have to use them after about ten seconds, or theyll disappear.
The rings will be useful in powering other devices. Uncle Chuck told Sonic.
Suddenly there was a beeping behind them followed by the computer saying.
ERROR, ERROR! Scooter smiled innocently and dashed out of the room.
Sonic followed them and bid farewell to Sir Charles and Rotor. At that
moment, Antoine ran into the room.
Uncle Shuck, one ov zee gards found thees and I felt I should
breeng eet to you. Antoine said and walked away. Sir Charles examined
what Antoine had brought. It was a necklace obviously for a man by the
way it was carved. It had a small bead with an inscription on it. He
put it under the computer decoder.
Rotor, could you run a translation on this?
Sure, Sir Charles. replied Rotor. Computer, translate using ancient
Mobian language. The computer processed and printed out the data.
It says: The wearer gains the power, but the power gains the
wearer. Rotor told Sir Charles. It also seems that this is capable of
a strange power. As strange if not stranger than the deep power stones.
Its not unstable, but wed best destroy it. We just our city destroyed
by a source of power. Sir Charles nodded.
Get Sonic to destroy it.
 
* * *
 
Sonic dashed to the crater with a laser rifle. It was the perfect
place to destroy power that could be misused. That Mega Power Ring ended
there and so would this. He finally got to the center of the crater.
He pointed the laser rifle at it and shot it. The necklace turned to ash.
Right as Sonic was about to head back to New Mobotropolis, something hit his
legs. Sonic couldnt move! In front of him walked someone he never thought
he would see again. To be honest, he never did want to see him again.
Hello mammal! Happy to see me? asked Mechanix. Sonic noticed he
looked in really good shape all the way to his flowing cloak. Mechanix
chuckled.
I saw you get destroyed! I saw metal shards strewn through out
the landscape fused to the ground. Sonic yelled at Mechanix.
Mammal, mammal... I am a robot with an intelligent processor,
but a robot none the less! I can be put back together as long as none
of my body was turned to ash. None of it was, so I rebuilt myself as
an procedure programmed into my CPU if anyone were to destroy me.
Its just you now, Mechanical junk. I could destroy you again.
On the contrary Sonic, Im not alone! Look up. Sonic gazed
upward and saw his giant ship. Though the power ring was destroyed,
Ive found out that the deep power stones have infinite power verses
the limited power of the Mega Power Ring. I was trying to figure out
a way to get you into the open, but it seems that you made that quite
easy! I cant be stopped now.
I seem to remember you saying that last time we beat you.
This time its different, this time, Ill beat you with yourself.
In just 8 hours, Ill be able to transfer my body into yours. Youll be
stuck in mine with round the clock security. You stand no chance. Until
then, youll be with me on my ship. Sonic struggled to break free of
whatever Mechanix had nailed him with, but was unable to do so. Mechanix
had not made a perfect decision, though. To show Sonic the ship, he had
made it visible. Visible for miles away. Visible to another certain
hedgehog who knew that the story didnt end, but just began.
 
Chapter 3
 
Scorch stared at the vessel that he knew had been destroyed by Ami
just a week ago. Though he told Sonic he was going away, he didnt go too
far and was close enough to see that the ship was back. He shook his head.
They never learn do they? Streak asked Ami rhetorically. It sure
cramps your social life when you have mad robots going around trying to
take over the world. Scorch tapped his foot.
Do you want to check it out Ami? asked Scorch. Ami stood up and smiled.
Of course. she said and winked at him. Scorch smiled and
scooped up Ami in his arms and went straight for the crater. He got there
in about ten seconds and saw Mechanix setting up the ship to beam them up.
Mechanix didnt know what was happening when a black blur started spinning
around him. Mechanix got rather dizzy and hovered above Scorch. Unable to
keep his balance he boosted himself into the nearest tree. Scorch stopped
in front of Sonic.
Long time no see, bro! Scorch said sarcastically. Sonic winked.
Hate to be rude, but can we talk after freeing me from whatevers
on my feet? Sonic asked. Scorch blinked.
What? How would that do any good? asked Scorch sarcastically and
buzz sawed through the metal clamps on his feet. Mechanix got up from
where he had crashed and started shooting a laser pistol at them.
Why wont you bloody mammals die?! he said trying to hit them.
Sonic and Scorch simply avoided them while Ami deflected them with
her sword. One of the deflected bullets ricocheted and caught him in
the cloak piercing it. Scorch scooped up Ami.
Sorry, for not chatting, but I didnt feel a conversation could
be started. Scorch said and they all jetted of for New Mobotropolis.
Mechanix was furious with the actions of Sonic and his friends. Mechanix
beamed aboard his ship and paced back and forth across the deck. Some new
recruits materialized in the ship. Mechanix turned his attention towards them.
I take it you are all the replacements for Vulpa, Hardcore, and the
other officers I lost during my last battle? Mechanix asked with certainty.
The robots nodded.
Introduce your name and ranks starting with second in command.
Mechanix ordered. A tall strong looking robot was the first to come forward.
I am Katana second in command. said the first robot.
And I am Redrum general of the army of Machina. With my military
intelligence, there is no way we can lose. said the second robot.
I should hope not. said Mechanix and turned to his large viewscreen
for briefing. He pointed to the large screen. On it was a blue blur with
a image of Sonic next to it.
On this planet, there are only two real threats. The first is Sonic.
Sonic is a normal hedgehog except that his speed is more astonishing than
anything Machina has ever encountered. He is our priority. Before we take
the castle, we must neutralize him or eliminate him. I dont care if hes
dead or alive, BUT GET HIM OUT OF OUR WAY!!!!!!! Mechanix told the new recruits.
Another set of pictures appeared on the screen. There was a black blur making
Vulpa into two halves and a picture of Scorch next to it.
This is Sonics clone, Scorch. He was created by our agent Robotnik,
but he turned renegade and makes it where we have to deal with two Sonics.
He is second priority. Their only weakness is their wives, children, and
finally... Mechanix smiled. Their patience. Their patience will destroy
them. Dont let them get impatient. Dont delay. Just capture them. This
tactic was what almost let me have him last time. My mechanical duplicate
of Rotor sprung the attack so quickly that if he wasnt hindered by his own
pathetic feelings, my plan would have been successful. We will also use
better strategy rather than a frontal attack and a diversion. We are going
from a game of Lemmings to a game of Chess. They will be pushovers with
the proper strategy. Mechanix told them. He dismissed them to their
stations and Mechanix thought about a good way to get Sonic. Maybe trading
bodies wasnt a great idea after all. A good way to eliminate Sonic was to
destroy his speed. That was impossible, though... Then it hit him. Just
like a large explosion. If he could increase the speed in the main gland
in his head, he would become younger. A baby hedgehog could be no threat.
All he had to do was decrease his age. It couldnt be done all at once.
It would have to be done in conjunction with his speed. He smiled and stood
up walking towards Redrum.
 
* * *
 
Sonic and Scorch went flying through the hallways. This upset many
people in the palace when Sonic did this because it caused papers, paintings,
and other miscellaneous objects to be torn from their proper position. Sonic
ran into the throne room with Scorch.
Sal! Weve got a mondo problemo here Sal! Sonic yelled. Sally ran
out of the powder room with a worried expression.
What happened Sonic? Sally asked in confusion. Sonic shook his head
and Scorch spoke.
Mechanix is back. said Scorch. And he knows what our weaknesses
are. If we dont do something, Mechanix is gonna screw us over.
How can that be? asked Sally.
We just blew him up. We didnt eradicate him. Weve never fought
a robot dictator before, so we didnt know that he could rebuild himself
if all of his metal plating still existed. Sonic explained. Sally gasped
as Antoine ran into the room.
My Queen! Knothole ees becoming a tin pan! Sonic rolled his eyes
and opened them wide.
You mean a tin can?! Aw shoot! Mechanix is attacking. Sonic
yelled and ran outta the room.
Gotta juice Sally. said Scorch and followed Sonics smoke. It
brought him to Uncle Chucks lab. Scorch found it funny how he and Sonic
thought exactly the same.
Unc! Knotholes under attack again! cried Sonic frantically.
The hedgehog turned around to see both Sonic and Scorch. He didnt
want to hear more and he knew what he needed to do. He pressed the
button on his machine twice and two power rings came up.
Sonic how long will it take you to get to Knothole? asked Sir
Charles. Sonic smiled and grabbed the rings and handed one to Scorch.
Short enough to use these. Sonic said smiling and left the lab
in blur. Scorch looked at the ring for a half second and followed Sonic
to Knothole.
 
* * *
 
Knothole had been reduced to smoldering ruins, but the Mobian army
kept up the attack. It seemed that there was an endless supply of the robots 
and they were running out of weapons to use. The laser cannons were almost
fully discharged. Mechanix radioed Redrum.
Send the hydro omnibots to retrieve the deep power stone.
I want it quickly because that hedgehog is bound to show up any second!
Mechanix said to Redrum. Redrum looked at the omnibots.
Hydro ominibots! Retrieve the deep power stone! commanded Redrum.
Mechanix yelled at him from the view screen.
You mechanical moron! Now the army knows our motives! Well have
to cover them now! Send some normal omnibots with them. Dont shout your
motives this time. Redrum radioed his omnibots and they followed. Redrum
still had most of them fighting the army while some of the army tried in vain
to make it to the ring pool. Then Redrum got his first example of the
hedgehogs destructive power. Rows after rows of omnibots fell to the
ground sparking. Redrum realized what was happening and took action.
Omnibots! Take one pace forward. Redrum commanded. It worked.
Unable to stop in time, both Sonic and Scorch crashed to the ground and
skidded across several metallic feet. They hopped to their feet and stared
at Redrum. Redrum shot at them and they jumped out of the way surprised.
He kept on shooting at them and ordered the omnibots to also.
Ah... You two must be Sonic and Scorch. Mechanix told me about you
two. The fastest organisms on either of our planets. How amusing.
You must be fast to manage to miss all the laser fires going at you.
Redrum said to Sonic and Scorch. The two hedgehogs were working fast
to miss all the laser fire. Mechanix radioed Redrum.
I have the power stone, beam up now. Mechanix ordered.
Hate to go hedgehogs. Its been nice meeting you all. Thanks for
the power stone. said Redrum and teleported to the ship. Sonic and Scorch
looked at each other and blinked.
He duped us. said Sonic in awe. We fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
Before Streak could reply, a beam hit them. They both winced as it hit them,
but then blinked and looked around.
What was that? asked Scorch. Sonic shrugged.
I have absolutely no idea. It looked like a laser, but it didnt hurt.
Maybe the sun got in our eyes or something. Either way, we need to stop Mechanix.
That bolt brains got one half of the power stones. We cant let him get the one
in Mobotropolis. said Sonic. They ran back to Mobotropolis, neither one realizing
the strange energy field around them.
 
* * *
 
They got back to Mobotropolis in no time. They didnt bother running through
Mobotropolis, rather they took it easy deciding on a good way to get the one half
of the deep power stone back. Sonic was walking when he felt his feet touch the
ground. He turned around and saw his brand new shoe behind him. Sonic shrugged
went over and put it back on. He took another step and his other shoe came off.
Whats going on? Sonic said and slipped his shoe back on. Sonic noticed
that the same thing was happening to Scorch. Sonic put the shoe on and was
surprised to find out that the shoe was way bigger than his foot. Sonic took another
look at Scorch. Scorch looked strange. There was something about him that was
different. Then it hit him. Scorch looked younger. About five years younger.
Sonic realized what the beam was. Scorch and Sonic said it at the same time.
Were getting younger! they cried. Way past uncool...
They ran back to the castle as fast as they could.
 
* * *
 
They arrived in the throne room where Sally was sleeping of all things.
Sonic rubbed Sallys back.
Sonic? she moaned. She looked toward him and squinted. You look
different. Sonic moaned and looked down. Sally sat up concerned.
Sally, Mechanix has one of the deep power stones. Sonic began.
Sonic notice Sally seemed to be getting taller, until he realized he was
getting smaller. When fighting Mechanixs minions, they got Scorch and
I with a beam. It seems that now we keep on getting younger. Sally gazed
down at them, eyes wide open. Sonic reluctantly cast his eyes toward
Scorch. Sonic gasped and realized he and Scorch were now the same age as
they were when Robotnik had been sealed in The Void.
Wed better see Sir Charles, Sonic. said Sally and they walked to his lab.
 
* * *
 
I dont know why youre getting younger. Your cells seem to be aging
at a normal growth rate and you dont seem to be getting younger anymore.
I dont know what happened, but it s not happening anymore. said Uncle Chuck.
Sonic sighed with relief.
Can you get me back to my normal age of 26? asked Sonic.
Uncle Chuck shook his head.
Id have to do more experimentation. Come back in six hours.
Ill have an answer by then. said Uncle Chuck. Sonic turned to Scorch.
Dont say a thing bro. Lets trash Mechanix! said Scorch and
the two of them raced out of the lab. As they left Sir Charles noticed
the strange energy field around them and had a hunch as to what was happening.
Sonic! Come back! yelled Sir Charles. Sonic slowed down and
went into reverse. He went straight into his lab. I think I know whats
happening. Whenever you use your speed, an energy field surrounds you which
leads me to believe that you age loss is from running. Sonic and Scorch
gasped. Sonic looked at Scorch. They didnt look that much younger,
but there was a small difference. Uncle Chuck sighed.
I could make a machine that would fix it, but one of you will
have to use your speed once more for me to do it. Uncle Chuck said and
looked at Sonic and then at Scorch.
Unc, do you have a coin? asked Sonic. Sir Charles gave Sonic a
coin. Call it in the air.
Tails. said Scorch. It landed on heads.
Scorch, just step on this treadmill. Ill tell you when to start
and when to stop. said Uncle Chuck. Go Scorch grabbed the handles of the
treadmill and ran as fast as he could. Stop said Uncle Chuck. Scorch
kept on going. Stop! yelled Uncle Chuck again. Scorchs eyes went wide.
I cant stop! he yelled. The treadmill sparked and burst
throughout the room. Uncle Chuck shook his head. Scorch started to shrink.
You were on for ten seconds. You decrease one year per second.
said Uncle Chuck. A five year old Scorch stood next to Sonic. Sonic picked
up Scorch with hatred radiating from him.
Mechanix is going down. Big time! yelled Sonic and raced out of the
castle toward the ship of Mechanix.
 
* * *
 
Mechanix, the hedgehog is coming rather slowly toward our ship as
expected. said Katana. Mechanix smiled. They would be easy targets because
of their lack of speed. Meanwhile Sonic had finally reached Mechanixs ship.
He set Scorch down.
Just wait here, bro. said Sonic and stood underneath Mechanixs ship.
Just as Sonic was going to shoot a grappling hook at the ship a white beam at
Sonic. Scorch saw Sonics eyes go up into his head. Then the beam stopped.
Sonic smiled and a strange gun appeared in his hands.
Good-bye Scorch. said Sonic and started shooting at Scorch. Scorch
jumped out of the way. Too bad Sonic cant join you, but hes having fun
being strapped to a table in my body. Scorch gasped.
Mechanix?! asked Scorch in awe. Mechanix was hit with a beam and
returned to his normal age. Scorch ran as fast as he could to Mobotropolis.
Mechanix tried to follow, but couldnt handle his new found speed and fell
on his face. Scorch reached Mobotropolis and saw Ami.
Ami! Scorch cried. Ami turned around and saw him and gasped.
Scorch started diminishing in age. Sonic he began, but didnt finish because
Scorch who was now two years old. Ami knelt on her knees and cried. She stood
up glaring at the ship he had come from. It was time to give Mechanix what
he deserved.
 
Chapter 4
 
Mechanix finally reached the entrance to Mobotropolis. Sonic usually just
ran through with the passing ID in front of him, but Mechanix didnt know this.
Hello your highness! Can I see your ID? the guard asked. Mechanix began
to sweat. He forgot about Sonics memories.
Im the king, I need no ID. Let me through. said Mechanix. The guard
rolled his eyes.
Everyone needs ID. I wont let you through without ID. said the guard.
Mechanix was boiling over.
Royalty does not need to be identified! Mechanix yelled and stepped
forward when a card fell out of his pocket. The guard smiled.
Theres your ID. That wasnt too hard was it? he asked sarcastically.
Mechanix winked and walked through. He had infiltrated the defenses. This
time, there was nothing that could stop him. He was a robot incapable of feelings.
He could kill all he wanted and feel no shame. First he needed to shut down the
shields. He didnt want to kill the scientists. They could prove helpful later
on. Tactics was the key with the Mobians anyway. Mechanix saw a deer running
up to him. He realized from her looks that it was Scorchs wife.
Sonic! Im glad to see youre all right. Scorch isnt doing too good.
He ran up to me and said your name then stopped because he became to young to
speak. Ami said to the disguised Mechanix. Mechanixs mind raced. What could
he say?
He probably was going to say Sonic has been cured of the beam.
I was cured right before, Mechanix hesitated to make sure he spoke
correctly. Mechanix came and started trying to get us. Scorch ran away while
I stayed behind and kept Mechanix occupied. The lie seemed to fool the deer
as she was satisfied with the tale he had told her. Mechanix wiped the sweat
off his forehead.
Dont worry, Sonic. Ill make sure Mechanix is very occupied in about
an hour. she said and left New Mobotropolis. Mechanix bent down to a communicator
he had.
Mechanix to Katana, make sure not to interfere with the deer destroying
my body. I want Sonic destroyed. Mechanix whispered into his communicator.
 
* * *
 
Sonic was not enjoying his stay in Mechanixs ship. He had been watching the
second in command aboard Mechanixs ship, whos name was Katana, go on and on about
how they were going to win and how Machina was so great and other things that made
him want to fall asleep, but were incapable of a robot. Finally he left and Sonic
was alone once more. He was quite uncomfortable and was trying to break free when
one of the robots came up to him.
Master, what are you doing? asked the robot. Sonic was confused by the
question and then realized that the robot did not realize that Mechanix and him
had traded bodies.
Katana is trying to take over the ship! cried Sonic. The robots eyes
went large. Release me you fool! The robot ran over to his side and released
him from the table. Sonic mentally laughed. They just dont make robots like
they used to.
Whats your ID? asked Sonic.
D40 responded the robot.
We must stop Katana. Sonic turned to his com pad. All forces capture
and imprison Katana and Redrum.
All of the robots began to search the ship for Katana and Redrum.
 
* * *
 
Mechanix was inside the castle now and went up the stairs. He finally came
across the room with the old hedgehog and walrus working together next to their
work. He walked in and pulled a ring out of his back pack. He threw it at the
hedgehog and it hit him in the back of the head and ricocheted into the head of
the walrus knocking them both soundly on the floor. He took the ring and used
it to brace the hedgehog so he couldnt move. With the walrus, he locked him in
the closet. Mechanix leaned over the controls. He broke into the network and
overwrote the password with a new one and then went into a corner.
Katana, bring the ship to New Mobotropolis. Ill meet you and beam up
understood? asked Mechanix. Katana nodded and Mechanix left the room. He
started walking through the castle trying to find his way out. It was quite
dark and he couldnt keep his eyes open for some strange reason. He bumped into
someone and looked at who it was. It was the queen!
Ive been looking all over the city for you! she cried. Where have you
been? Mechanix thought quickly for an excuse.
I went for a chili-dog. Mechanix told her. She shook her head.
Come on. Were gonna have fun tonight! she said and took his hand.
Mechanix wondered what she meant as she led him upstairs. He needed to find a
way to get away from her and not arouse suspicion.
 
* * *
 
Mechanix now understood what the word fun meant. He definitely had fun!
He understood why being a mammal was so appealing to them. What happened that
night was in itself enough reason to not be a robot. Now he knew that he was
supposed to close his eyes and go into a deep resting mode. He couldnt figure
out how. It was strange just looking at the top of the castle becoming what
they referred to as tired. Eventually morning came. He had totally forgotten
about the ship and heard people screaming outside over the ship being above
the castle. This was the perfect time to start his attack. Mechanix pulled
out a laser pistol and pointed it to Sallys head. He tried to pull the
trigger, but couldnt. Mechanix couldnt figure it out. It seemed that
something inside his body made him sweat over what he was going to do and
images of the previous night haunted his mind. He finally figured out what
was going on. His organic body had gained feelings. He had witnessed his
first feeling. He couldnt pull the trigger and cursed under his breath. He
had to find another way to do the same thing. He pulled out a remote control
and pressed a button. A soft voice stated Vessel enroute to Mobotropolis.
 
* * *
 
Sonic walked around in search of Katana and Redrum. How lucky he was to
have been able to trick all the robots. Only Katana and Redrum knew, and he
would take care of that. Sonic finally was radioed of where they had taken Katana
and Redrum prisoner. Sonic smiled and walked there. He was rather disappointed
he couldnt run, but he had no other choice. He finally reached where they were
being held prisoner. He winked at them and started a small speech.
You two will now pay the ultimate price of defying your superior. I hereby
sentence you to be disassembled with your CPUs still running. Sonic said.
Their eyes went wide. The omnibots didnt move.
Such a punishment does not exist. Taking second in commands comments
into memory. Conclusion: Mechanix is a traitor. computed the robots. The
omnibots set the two prisoners free and went after Sonic. Sonic took out his
laser and blew them all away except for Katana and Redrum. The two robots were
still standing and glared at him. Sonic started stepping backwards towards the
wall. The two robots pulled out their lasers.
Your mammal soul will now be destroyed. said Katana smiling. They were
about to pull their triggers when they felt several of their circuits get
barbecued. They fell smoking to the ground. Sonic, without thinking teleported
away from the scene. Sonic saw Ami spin around and was about to slash him to bits.
Ami! Stop! he yelled. She continued her motion and part of the
cloak was vaporized by the sword. Ami, its me Sonic! Ive been trapped
in Mechanixs body! Ami still went after him.
Im not that stupid. she said and went after him. Sonics mechanical
mind raced. He finally came up with an idea.
Ami, would Mechanix know that Tails was married a few days ago? he
asked. Ami stopped for a few seconds. Even though she had know idea that
Tails had a wedding, she noticed that Mechanix wasnt attacking her. She
put away her sword.
Ami, the one half of the deep power stone is somewhere on this ship.
We have to find it. Sonic said and the two of them split up looking for it.
 
* * *
 
Mechanix ran downstairs with the other half of the power stone. He ran out
of the castle doors and through the panicking city. The ship was now floating
almost overhead. He needed to trade bodies again. He pressed a button. A beam
shot down from the ship. Mechanix was back in is ship. He noticed all of his
robots had been wiped out and eventually found the smoldering trash of Katana
and Redrum. He radioed his superior.
Sir, I have both parts of the power stone. All I need now are more
reinforcements. Mechanix told the robot on the screen. The robot smiled
and 5,000,000 robots appeared.
Destroy them. Let not a single blade of grass stand in scarred ashes.
said the robot and closed communications. Ami had seen all the robots suddenly
appear. Mechanix walked over to admire all the robots when he heard robots being
destroyed. He walked up to the mammal who was destroying everything.
What are you doing? he asked, planning on scaring her to death. She turned
around calmly.
Dont worry Sonic, Ive got the deep power stone, Im just cleaning the
place out she said. Mechanix smiled.
May I see the deep power stone? asked Mechanix. She gave him the other
half. He smiled and shot a tranquilizer at her. It struck her. 
Sonic and I switched back. said Mechanix as she fell unconscious to the ground.
Omnibots, take her to the ring room. She could prove useful if she was working for us.
 
* * *
 
Sonic figured out that he and Mechanix had switched places again. He was back
in his body. The swarming city made it difficult to find where he was going. He
was unable to see over the crowd as to orient himself. He wandered around aimlessly
and finally spotted Tails among the crowd.
Hey Tails! yelled Sonic. Tails looked around trying to figure out who
called his name. Sonic ran up to him and Tails greeted him.
Tails, which way to the castle? he asked. Tails pointed Northeast.
Sonic thanked him and ran off toward the castle dodging people along the way.
He needed to find where Scorch was. He was inside the castle.
Scooter! Scooter! Sonic cried. Scooter responded from the basement of
the castle. Sonic ran down to the basement and saw Scorch just like he thought.
He wasnt expecting Scorch to be about two years old, though. He grabbed Scorch
and ran off to his Uncles room. When he got there he was surprised to find that
his Uncle was caught in a power ring.
Whoa! Unc what happened? asked Sonic. His uncle struggled to get free.
Im not sure sonny... Uncle Chuck responded. Sonic showed his Uncle the
two year old hedgehog. His uncle smiled.
I finished an invention that will fix it. said Sir Charles. He tried to
reach for his pocket, but was unable to reach because the power ring was in the way.
Sonic reached into his Uncles pocket and pulled out a gun. 
Just aim and shoot. said Sonics uncle. Sonic pointed the gun at
Scorch and pulled the trigger. Scorch grew back to his original age. Scorch
looked at himself and smiled at Sonic. He was about to speak when Sonic stopped
him.
I know what your gonna say and I agree. Lets do it to it! said Sonic.
 
* * *
 
Mechanix looked at Ami smiling. Ami was stuck in a diamond glass container
making her sword quite useless. Mechanix began a small speech.
Ami, you see, Machina means no harm to Mobius. We tried to take the planet
the easy way with Julian Kintobar. It seems that he failed his mission though.
Then he sent me. I tried taking the planet with brute force and learned the hard
way that you Mobians are to stubborn to give up easily. When Julian was ruling, we
showed him where to get plans to help him dominate Mobius. It was a creation of
one of the scientists called the Roboticizer. Weve since learned that this device
was faulty. Thats when we decided to go back to our old method of the ring.
Mechanix said. Ami was confused.
You dont have any power rings! she yelled.
Very true, continued Mechanix. He held up a small ring. But we do have
this. This is called slave ring. Whoever wheres this ring slowly becomes the
willful servant of the rings owner. In this case, it would be the dictator
of Machina. The effects of this ring used to also turn the wearer robotic, but
that started to backfire in certain instances. It was only successful on one
person, but thats of no importance. What is of importance is that you will now
wear this ring and become a willful citizen of Machina. Ami tried smashing the
container with her sword, but it was unable to pierce the hard diamond covering.
Clamps went over her feet. Then a strong vacuum occurred in the container. Unable
to keep her arms down, they flew into the air. A mechanical hand lowered with a
ring and slipped it onto Amis hand. A strange energy emitted from the ring and
engulfed her body and finally her head. She grabbed her head and then looked up.
Ami, that wasnt so hard was it? asked Mechanix. She smiled. Now do you
see why Machina is doing the right thing in taking over Mobius. She nodded.
Now we must capture Scorch and Sonic. Mechanix told her.
Ive got a plan. said Ami and Mechanix let her out of the chamber.
The two of them went over to the control panel to discuss the plan.
 
* * *
 
Sonic ran over to Sally and shook her. She slowly came to her senses.
Sally! The castles under attack! Sonic told her. Her eyes went wide
despite how tired she was.
Arent the shields up?
No, someone sabotaged our control panel. Theres a new password written
over the other one and we cant crack it Sonic was about to head downstairs when
Ami suddenly burst into the room and grabbed Sally. Sally struggled to get free but
was unable to. Using her free hand Ami pulled out a ring.
Dont move or this ring goes on! said Ami. Sonic and Scorch gave each
other a blank expression.
Whats a ring supposed to do, number one, and number two, whos side are
you on? asked Sonic. Ami just grinned.
With the help of the ring I saw the light. I now understand why taking
over this planet for Machina is such a good plan. Why I dont make your wife
see the light, I dont understand. I will if you make one false move. replied Ami.
Sonic dropped on his knees.
Sonic! Run! yelled Sally. Ami lowered her eyebrows and slipped the ring
onto Sallys finger. Sally blinked and shook her head.
It all seems so clear now... Sally said. A few moments ago it didnt,
but now it does. Sonic! You have to put one of these rings on and youll
understand. Sonic dashed at Sally, grabbed the ring, and pulled it off.
You put it on too, Sonic. said Sally. Sonic gasped realizing that the ring
had a permanent affect. Scorch pulled out a power ring from his back pack.
Your right Sally. Heres a power ring to help Mechanix. said Scorch and
threw it at Sally. Sally caught it and a strange golden glow surrounded her.
She shook her head.
It worked! The rings powers no longer work! said Sally in awe.
Ami pulled a laser rifle and put it to Sallys head and smiled.
Goodbye my Queen. said Ami and was about to pull the trigger when the
wall came crashing in on top of her. Sonic noticed part of the vessel hovering
right in front of the new gash in the castle. The portal opened up and out
stepped Mechanix. Mechanix hovered over to Sonic. Scorch was enraged.
AMI!!!! yelled Scorch. Mechanix glared at him.
Silly hedgehog. Dont let your feelings get the best of you. I would
have taken this dirty planet by now if I hadnt been hindered by feelings
developed by my physical body. Mechanix told Scorch.
Why did you hurt or possibly even have killed someone who was loyal to
you?! yelled Scorch. Mechanix smiled.
She was expendable. I only needed her to distract you all. Shes of
no purpose to me anymore. I now have this planet and you will surrender to
me now. Mechanix told all of them. Sonic laughed and dashed behind Mechanix
and proceeded to kick him. Sonics leg was deflected and he fell on his rear
end. Mechanix turned around and picked him up psychically.
I now have the deep power stones. All the power of that Mega Power
ring and more in two halves of a stone. You can not beat invincibility and
immortality. said Mechanix. Sonic was kicking in the air.
We can sure beat your intelligence. Robots are all talk no brains.
Sonic said. Mechanix glared at Sonic. Sonic grabbed his head.
Take that comment back! yelled Mechanix.
Never! A red line went flying back and forth between Sonic and
Mechanix.
Take it back!
I WONT! The line turned to orange and then to yellow.
Take it BACK!!!
Take what back? The line turned to green and then to blue.
TAKE it BACK!!!
When the universe collapses. The line turned to indigo, then to violet,
and eventually just became a bright blinding light.
TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!!!! Sonics eyes got big. His ears started baking.
Youll... have... to kill... me... first! Sonic barely got out.
Another line flew out as did another. They both became bright blinding light.
Sonics skin color changed from blue to navy. The others had been trying to
help, but were being held down by Mechanix. Sonic finally screamed and fell
to the ground, but then got up. Mechanixs red eyes lit up behind his cloak.
I dont believe it! cried Mechanix. I just destroyed your memory!
Sonic shook his head.
You cant win. said Sonic. Mechanix stuck out his hand and Sonic
grabbed his stomach and fell to the ground. Mechanix walked over to Sonic
and touched his forehead. A white electric field went flying through
Mechanixs hand. Sonic opened his eyes.
Mechanix. Ill surrender. said Sonic. Everyone protested and
Mechanix smiled. Mechanix got up and shook hands with Sonic. Ill
personally help you take this place and show you where some of the best
resources are.
Im glad to see that you came to your senses King Sonic. said
Mechanix. Just sign this waiver acknowledging your surrender. Sonic held up
his hand.
Just something Id like to point out Mechanix. The way you have the
deep power stones together is only 10,000 times the power of a normal power
ring. In other words, its equivalent to the Mega Power Ring except it doesnt
ware out. If you connect the deep power stones in the other direction, youll
get an infinite power source. It would be a helpful feature when you go and
conquer other worlds. said Sonic. Mechanix smiled and opened up his chest
plate and flipped the stones and placed them back in him. Sonic smiled.
Too bad your circuits cant handle an infinite power source.
I told you: robots are all talk no brains. Mechanix winced. He stuck out
his hand and blasted Sonic where he stood. Vapor rose from where he stood.
An eye for an eye a king for a lord. Ive been destroyed this time.
Ill be ashes. You wont win though. Ill have my revenge from beyond the
scrap pile. Sonics gone and now you have a bigger problem to deal with.
said Mechanix. He just turned bright white and turned into a pile of ashes
with two power stones laying on top. Sonic suddenly dropped in from the
ceiling.
He actually thought he was fast enough to hit me. He never
learned... Sonic trailed off as suddenly the ship exploded.
 
Chapter 5
 
A metal shard came crashing through the top of the castle and an earthquake
persued. Sonic and Sally were about to head off when they realized Scorch was
missing. Scorch was digging through the rubble trying to find Ami.
Scorch! Come on! yelled Sonic. Scorch ignored him and kept on searching.
I have to find Ami! yelled Scorch. Scorch finally found Amis body and
picked her up. Sonic ran out of the room with Sally in his arms. Scorch followed
him with Ami. The entire castle was beginning to collapse. Sonic was not pleased
this was happening after they had just finished rebuilding it. Sonic picked up
the kids and Tails and the rest of the core freedom fighters. They all got out
of New Mobotropolis to see the castle fall to pieces. It seemed that the entire
city had been evacuated, thanks to Antoine. Sonic stared at the city. All of
sudden there was a strange sound and a blue light fell upon the city. Then the
entire city of New Mobotropolis exploded. Sonic gasped.
Sally! Get everyone to Knothole now! Scorch and I will take care of the
explosion! Sonic yelled to Sally. Sally led everyone away without hesitation,
taking Amis body with her. Sonic looked at Scorch.
If we could create a mountain of dirt, it would put out the flames.
Sonic told Scorch. Scorch nodded and they both ran off. They started coming
at each other. They both pulled out a power ring and its golden energy
engulfed them. They came towards each other at a speed greater than sound.
They passed each other leaving a giant wall of dirt suspended in the air momentarily.
The flames hit it and pretty much blocked them. Some of it kept on going and knocked
Sonic and Scorch off their feet and they flew into the forest. They werent too hurt.
Only a couple of areas were scorched. Both figures stared at the site of New
Mobotropolis. It was now a giant crater. All of a sudden they began to be
sucked back into the middle. Using the power rings, they stood their ground
and safely stood on the edge of the Great Forest.
That wasnt Mechanixs ship. Sonic commented in awe. Scorch sighed nervously.
If it wasnt Mechanix, then who was it? asked Scorch.
 
* * *
 
The figure in the orbit of Mobius above looked at the smoldering crater
in disgust. He slammed his metallic fist against the control panel and stood up.
He paced around the control room. That robot Mechanix was a fool! He fell for
the same trick twice. Even if there had been parts of him left, he wouldnt
bother piecing Mechanix back together. He had blown up the city just to have
all the inhabitants flee to a giant forest. They could be anywhere in the
forest! He had already used a super atomic pulse on the city, and couldnt
use any heavy artillery for another week. Then it hit him. He could heat
sense them and then bring them aboard the ship. As the co-dictator of Machina,
he would have them all painfully lose their free will to the power of Machina.
He pressed a button on the control panel.
Commencing heat seeking now. the computer announced.
 
* * *
 
Scorch paced back and forth in the Knothole infirmary waiting for the
results on his beloved Ami. He was sweating hard and his eyes were bloodshot
from not taking a rest for the past three nights. Finally a doctor came out
of the Emergency Room. Scorch looked at him with anticipation. The doctor
shook his head.
Shes brain dead. Nothing can be done for her. the doctor told him.
Scorch collapsed on his knees and began to cry freely. He clenched his
fists and looked to the sky.
WHYD THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!!!! IT WASNT HER FAULT OR MINE!!!!!
Scorch screamed in rage. At least Mechanix got what he was asking for.
Sir Charles walked up to Scorch.
Theres a possibility that I can get her back, but you might not
like the alternative... said Sir Charles. Scorch looked at him like he was nuts.
Ill do anything to have her back! he told Sir Charles. The old hedgehog
held up a worn piece of paper. Very smudged, but still barely readable was the
word Roboticizer written across the top.
Sonny, this was originally meant to be a tool of medicine to prolong
the lives of Mobian citizens. If I make the correct adjustments, shell be
alive again. Its just that shell have to be a robot for a small amount of
time. Sir Charles paused and then spoke again. Possibly even forever.
Scorch smiled.
Well, shell be alive wont she? asked Scorch and went into the Emergency
Room to get his wifes corpse.
 
* * *
 
Sonic stared at the ground. He was confused at what had been happening
the past few days. It seemed that his days of being a freedom fighter werent
over after all. He sighed. He was probably too old to be doing this kind of
thing anymore to begin with. Sonic heard someone walking towards him. He ignored
it at first, but then heard the sound of metal foot prints. Sonics eyes went
wide and he jumped up ready to attack and was caught off guard by what he saw.
Hey Sonic. Whats wrong? asked Scorch smiling. Next to him was a robotic
Ami. Sonic stared at Ami in awe. She blushed through the metal coating.
Come now Sonic! Ive still got my free will! Ami told Sonic. Sonic made
a big grin. Scorch answered the question he knew Sonic would ask.
Yup, your Uncle fixed the roboticizer to work for the originally intended
medical purposes. Scorch told him. Otherwise, Ami would be dead at this
moment! Sonic couldnt express how happy for Scorch he was. The ring pool
that Sonic was near started bubbling. Ami hovered over the water and grabbed
the power ring and was about to place it in Scorchs pack when he motioned not
to.
Give it to Sonic. Ive still got one. Scorch said. Ami put it in
Sonics pack when suddenly a red beam struck Scorch and he disappeared.
Another red beam struck Sonic. Elsewhere in Knothole, a red beam struck Sally.
The plot of Machina had begun again.
 
* * *
 
Sally, Sonic, and Scorch appeared in a ship. Sonic stared out the window
and quickly realized that they were not just above Mobius, but in its orbit.
Sonic was startled by a voice.
Ahhh... Im so touched. My son is king of this pitiful planet. the
voice said. Sonic saw a metallic hedgehog that looked remarkably familiar.
Suddenly Sonic had a flash back to when he had told his story to Scooter and
Sara. That hedgehog was the same one who told him not to take the ring.
Sally had different thoughts on her mind, however.
What do you mean son? asked Sally. The metallic hedgehog laughed
and motioned for them to follow him. He led them to a large television screen.
On the front was a picture of a male and female hedgehog along with a baby hedgehog.
Queen, this is Sonics first picture! Isnt he cute? Im the proud father
on the left and the lady on my right is my wife. As you know, before Robotnik,
there was a rather large war between the humans and Mobians. I and my wife were
thought to be casualties of this war, but we really just wanted to be free
from messing with a child. They are way too much work, especially Sonic
here! He was a tyrant!
When Robotnik took over, my wife was captured. I lived in Robotropolis
trying in vain to restore my brothers free will. It wasnt until I found a
certain ring that I was forced to become a loyal citizen of Machina. Now I must
obey Machina through my own free will. Sonic finally figured it out. The
hedgehog that told him not to take the ring was his father right before he was
under the rings total control. Sonics father smiled.
Weve already told all the other robots that Mobius is not up for grabs,
so you can go on back to your planet and tell your boss that. Meanwhile, I think
we have some work to do on rebuilding the city that was destroyed. Sonics father
laughed.
I did a pretty good job destroying it didnt I? Sonics father said. Oh,
by the way, I dont have a boss. Im the co-dictator of Machina and I hereby
sentence you to the slave treatment. Sonic just smiled.
Actually, we werent planning on staying for that, so well talk to you
later, OK? Sonic said sarcastically, grabbed Sally and ran for all it was worth.
Sonics fathers mouth fell open as he watched his own son go cruising away
from him at a speed faster than sound itself. Several worker bots heads were
ripped from the base of the frame from the vacuum created by Sonics speed.
Sonics father noticed how the robot heads suddenly stayed suspended in mid-air.
Being about as clever as Sonic, he knew that Sonic was coming straight at him.
He ran over to his control panel. This wasnt the brightest idea, but still
saved him from the full blow of the attack. Sonic came crashing into him and
they both went crashing into one of the windows of the ship. Part of the glass
cracked. Sallys eyes went wide.
Sonic be careful! Sally yelled to him. One wrong move and youll go
flying into the vacuum of space! Sonics father smiled mischievously.
Too bad robots dont have to breathe. he said and started to
pound the glass with his metal fist. The window cracked some more.
Sally snapped her fingers. She pulled out a portable deroboticizer
(poro) and shot it at Sonics father. The metal plating crackled off.
Sonics father fell to the ground. Electricity suddenly started crackling
around his newly restored body. He winced and spoke.
The ring makes me loyal to Machina. I feel a need to be loyal to
Machina when the ring is activated. Im afraid I dont know how to make
myself permanently normal, but you must figure out how! Tell... Charles...
that I said... blank. Sonics father told them took out a portable
transporter and sent them back to Mobius right as he was consumed by his
robotic entity once again.
 
* * *
 
...and my dad wanted to tell you that he said blank. Sonic said
finishing the story he was telling Uncle Chuck. Uncle Chucks eyes went
very wide. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old microchip.
Written on it was the word blank. Uncle Chuck blew the dust off the chip
and scrutinized it for a couple of seconds.
My brother must have been talking about this. Uncle Chuck began.
He gave me this chip for my birthday right before he went to war. He
said it would help me with one of my projects. I asked which one, but
he said that he would tell me the next day because it was late. The next
day he was theoretically killed in battle, but now I dont know what
happened. Odds are the chip was meant for the roboticizer, which was my
current project, but if I reverse the polarity and plug it into the poro,
it will deroboticize and restore free will. The original poro only
deroboticized which by itself usually restored free will. Come back in
four hours and I might have something that you can use to get Rians
free will back.
Thanks, Unc.
Your welcome Sonic.
Sonic raced from the hut that they were in to his own hut to take
a nap. On Sonics part, that was a horrible mistake because this time
Sonics father, otherwise known as Rian, had a perfect plan that involved
having Sonic not involved.
 
* * *
 
Sonic arrived back at the hut Sir Charles was in four hours later.
To his surprise, he saw Ami there. Uncle Chuck smiled gleefully and
pulled Sonic over to the new invention.
Sonic, here we have it! Ive invited Ami here. Deroboticizing
her would put her back under Machinas control. With this, she should
have her free will back! said Uncle Chuck. Sonic was surprised how
energetic his uncle was. He had never seen him like this. He grabbed
the gun. Sonic looked at it for awhile.
Hurry up and shoot the improved poro!! yelled Sonics uncle angrily.
Sonic was astonished. His uncle was the most patient person he knew next
to Sally. Speaking of Sally... where was she? Where was Scorch?! They were
both with him in the lab, but didnt leave with him.
Unc, why are you so anxious? Whats the joke? asked Sonic.
Sir Charles shook his head.
Nothing, I just want to see if the chip did what it was supposed
to do. Sir Charles told Sonic. Sonic pulled the trigger right as he noticed
the exact same chip laying on the ground near his Uncle. He still didnt understand
what it could mean until a deroboticized Ami came at him with her sword and
everything. Sonics Uncle laughed hysterically.
Youre as stupid as your father said you were! Sir Charles yelled.
You honestly didnt realize all the errors that I didnt even bother
accounting for? Its the ring Sonic. It got me too and now I see the light
along with all the citizens of New Mobotropolis who are being subjected to
the ring as we speak! Sonic was enraged as he kept on barely dodging Amis
swings. Sonic went through the bottom of the hut and came up through the bottom
taking Ami out of commission for the time being. He grabbed the chip and the
gun and left to go somewhere safe. Somewhere he hoped his father couldnt find him for
quite some time...
 
Chapter 6
 
Sonic was in the Great Unknown. The last he had been there was when he
had been roboticized by Robotnik about 12 years back. He had made it where he
was in about four seconds and was dodging all over the place to make sure that
his dad couldnt get a good lock on him. He wasnt surprised to discover an
entrance to the Void. Though its creator, Ixis Naugus, had passed away, he
merged with the Void to become pretty much the reality itself. With all that
was happening, it seemed that the guidance of the sorcerer would prove to be
the most useful thing in this circumstance. It wasnt until he had entered
the portal that he remembered that Robotnik and his faithful lackey Snively
still remained there also. Sonic floated through the beautiful passageway
until he finally came flying out the entrance. Sonic burst out laughing when
he saw Robotnik crawling around on the ground as a snail. Snively was laughing
hysterically. They both quickly turned into ice crystals.
Sonic?! Is that you? asked Naugus. His voice seemed to come from
throughout the Void, not a single place, but everywhere. Sonic nodded.
Its been a long time since last we met. Ixis told him. Sonic nodded
again and began explaining his problem.
I dont know what you can do anymore seeing that you arent exactly
a physical being anymore, but some of Robotni- er... Julians friends from another
planet are attacking Mobius. This guy is actually my father and he has taken
control of almost everyone if not everyone in our city. Is there any way you
can help?
I couldnt cast a spell that would do what would need to be done. I could,
however, give you some assistance in a magical and physical way. The ice
crystal of Snively thawed out immediately. Snively here has thought about what
he has done wrong and no longer wants to participate on the evil side of things.
A light shown down on them. Naugus continued.
Whoever you touch,  Naugus began,  will decrease in age until before
they were robotic in nature restoring their original free will at the same
time. It will only work once for both of you, so use it wisely. Just touch
them with the true intention of restoring their free will, and it will
be so. Sonic looked at Snively.
Are you sure you can trust him? Do you know how many times he
said he hated me? He had one of the bots erase my mind once you
know... Sonic said. Snively was about to yell at him and explain,
but Naugus interrupted him.
I can look inside the souls of all who are in this domain.
His soul is good. He can be trusted. was the reply of Ixis Naugus.
Sonic waved as did Snively. Sonic grabbed Snivelys hand and they ran
out of the void. 
Here, take this. If you can assemble it correctly, it will restore
anyones free will that you shoot it at. I just dont have the ability to
do that. Sonic told Snively.
Very good, Sir! Snively replied. Sonic winked.
You can call me Sonic. Sonic told him and at that very moment Rian
beamed them aboard his mothership...
 
* * *
 
Rian stood in front of Sonic and Snively. Sonic reached out to turn
him back, but Rian stepped backwards. Snively ran away in the other direction.
Rian seemed very disappointed.
Omnibots! Apprehend the human! Rian yelled. Being small, Snively was
able to duck through them and get to a safe hiding spot. Though Rian was
irritated, he still had his son.
Sonic! I think its about time that you came to see the light! said
Rian and shot him with a knock out beam. 
 
* * *
 
Sonic found himself in a small round tube. Rian smiled mischievously.
Sonic, after this, we will be able to rule the universe as father
and son. Rian said happily. Sonic burst out laughing.
Really?! Can we go fishing later? Please? Sonic said
sarcastically. Rian was unimpressed and pressed a button that activated
the ring chamber. Sonic was held firmly in place by diamond glass
machinery. The ring was about to be placed on his finger. Sonic was
sweating as he felt the ring go over his finger. Then something strange
happened. He wasnt turned against his home planet like everyone else.
He just felt himself shrink a little. Rian had a strange expression on his face.
How can this be?! Rian yelled. Youre supposed to be under the
control of Machina! Rian pressed a button.
Rian to captivity room, send all Mobians back to surface to begin
readying the planet for my landing. Rian told one of the robots in the
jail room. The robot nodded and broke the transmission. Rian turned to Sonic.
I see that you arent the stupid son I thought you were. Rian told
Sonic. Something prevented the ring from working. No matter. Ill put
an end to this right now. So long sonny boy! Its been a horrible
time... Rian unlocked Sonics chamber. No sooner had Sonic walked out,
than Rian pointed a laser pistol at the small crack in the ships window
created earlier and fired. It melded the hole back together. Rians
eyes went wide. Rian shot Sonic in the arm with the pistol. Sonic fell
to the ground gripping the arm that had been wounded.
If you want something done right, you must do it yourself! yelled
Rian and sent his metallic hand through the hard glass of the ship. The
small hole soon grew into a large one from the force of the outside vacuum.
Rian smiled fiendishly and pressed a button. Rian blinked out of site
leaving Sonic standing on the bridge staring into the newly created entrance
into the frigid vacuum of outer space. New shards of glass were continually
be ripped from the windows. Several loose objects flew out into the vacuum
of space along with a couple of robots. Sonic noticed that the control panel
for the ring chamber was loose. If only he could find a laser gun...
Snively came running out and got caught in the vacuum. Sonic ran out to
save Snively and got stuck in the vacuum himself.
Yo, Snively! Got a laser gun? asked Sonic. Snively pulled out a
small laser gun and handed it to Sonic. Sonic shot it at the control panel
several times. The control panel came flying at the hole and right as it
was about to hit, Sonic shot the laser at the glass, melding the glass to
the control panel. The vacuum was sealed, but some of the control rings
were attached to it. One went onto Snivelys finger and Snively just
flashed and nothing happened. Though Sonic wasnt happy that he had lost
both of Naugus presents, he had more important things on his mind. Sonic
looked at the main control panel. On it was a picture of a mechanical
planet. It was Machina. Rian had said something about being loyal to
Machina. Perhaps his dad didnt control Machina, but Machina controlled
him... Just then Sonic went careening from the control panel through the
ring chamber and into a large, empty docking room. Sonic recognized the
figure of Sally walking through the opening he had created. Sonic also
noticed Sally was roboticized. Sonic yelled in rage. His father had gotten
everyone he loved under Machinas control. He dashed back to the control
panel to see if it had any weapons. It had several weapons that he could use.
All he had to do was blow up Machina. Sally nailed him in the back. Sonic
turned around and ready to attack, now realizing that he had to deal with Sally
before he could get enough time to set his plans into motion. Sonic punched
Sally in the stomach and winced in pain from the impact of his flesh hand and
Sallys now metallic stomach. Sally picked him up and threw him into the
docking room again. Sonic buzz-sawed at Sally and turned to the side right
before impact hitting Sally and shaking up her programming long enough
to accomplish the task at hand. He ran to the control panel for the third
time and pressed a button. A large blue beam went flying forth destined to
destroy the planet of Machina. A laser then sailed through Sonics arm and
destroyed the control panel in an explosion. Sally picked up Sonic and bashed
his head into the glass window. She pressed one remaining button and an LED
screen started flashing Self-destruct in 30 seconds. Vessel operation
ceased. Snively then shot Sally through the head blowing apart the mechanical
CPU that was in there. The ship was now beginning to fall into the Mobian
atmosphere and burn up. Snively picked up Sonic. Sonic was unconscious
with several burns and a wound in his left arm from laser fire. Snively
pulled out the gun that Sonic gave to him earlier. He fiddled with the
wires quickly and put it back together. He pointed it at Sonic and pulled
the trigger. Sonic glowed and all his wounds and burns were healed. His
age also decreased by ten years as a side-effect.
Self-destruct in 15 seconds. the computer hummed. The ship was rapidly
burning up and looked like a meteor from anyone on the surface. Snively pointed
the gun at Sally and shot her. She turned flesh again and was healed and became
ten years younger.
Self-destruct in 10 seconds. the computer announced. Snively looked
around for a teleporter.
9
He couldnt find one.
8
He looked for something to throw at the window.
7
He threw the gun at the window and the ship exploded as it collided with
the ground. Sonic, Sally, and Snively were instantly killed, but thats not
the way it was meant to happen...
 
Chapter 7
 
Scorch suddenly came to his senses. He remembered that he was under
Machinas control, but somehow everyone managed to break free of the strange
spell. He remembered that Rian had mentioned that he left everyone up in the
ship. He saw the ship coming toward the Mobian ground. He headed out toward
the Great Unknown.
He was far away from the ship and it was about to hit the ground. Scorch
pulled out the last of his small stash of power rings and made a last ditch
attempt to get to the ship in time. Right as he made it to the vessel, the ship
made contact with the ground, blowing him backwards at a little faster than the
speed of light. Scorch opened his eyes and he was in Knothole. Sally had just
disappeared. Scorch figured out quickly what had happened. The explosion sent
him careening so fast that he traveled through time. He now had enough time to
make it to the ship...
 
* * *
 
Self-destruct in 15 seconds. the computer hummed. The ship was rapidly
burning up and looked like a meteor from nyone on the surface. Snively pointed
the gun at Sally and shot her. She turned to flesh, was healed, and became ten
years ounger. As Snively looked for a way to escape, a black hedgehog came up
through the metal hull of the ship. Snively gasped.
Youre the clone my uncle made! But- Snively was cut off. Scorch just
nodded and grabbed all three of them. He dropped through the hole in the ship.
He hit the ground in about two seconds, indicating that the ship wasnt far from the
ground. He had used his last power ring and didnt have any hope left, when Sonic
came to and pulled a ring out of his back pack.
Come on! We need to get out of here! Sonic said weakly. Scorch took off
with the power ring. The ship collided with the ground, causing a massive
explosion. This time, however, Scorch was able to maintain enough speed to stay
ahead of it. He didnt exactly understand how, though. Even with the power ring
he was going faster than usual. He looked at his feet. He noticed they were
metallic.
 
* * *
 
To make a long story quite a bit shorter, the entire village got their free
will back, even Rian when Machina was destroyed. The other leaders of the planet
would have defended themselves if the security system allowed them to block their
own weaponry. The weaponry was more powerful than the shields, blowing the planet
to tiny pieces of metal and silicon. This did not, however, turn everyone back
to flesh. Fortunately, Snively had fixed the gun that Sir Charles had started
working on. This restored everyone to pure flesh permanently. It also decreased
everyones age by ten years as a strange byproduct of its usage. Amazingly enough,
though, the children had avoided Rian the entire time by being considered a non-threat.
Sonic was now sitting in a circle with the main head freedom fighters, Sonics Uncle,
and Sonics dad.
Well gang, two more dictators have been stopped! Ones even sitting with
us right now. Sonic said and looked at Rian. Rian sighed.
Im sorry, I didnt mean to do what happened, it just seemed like I
needed to do it. Its hard to describe. Rian told everyone. Sonic put his
arm around Rian.
Thats okay, because Machina was an entity in itself. Sonic told Rian.
Sonic changed the subject. Id also like it to be known that I beat Sally
enough to blow up Machina and we would have lost if it werent for me beating
Sally. Which proves that Pinewood was no judgment of my true skill. Sally was
steaming.
I beat you Sonic hedgehog!
I let you because I didnt want to hurt you!
Then dont hurt me after this! yelled Sally and side kicked him
in the face. Sonic got up taunted her. She lunged at him and fell into
the ground after he ran away.
See what did I tell yo- Sonic was cut off by Sally kicking him in the
stomach, knocking the breath out of him. Sonic gasped for air on the ground.
He stood up shakily.
Okay Sal you made your point: Im fast and youre smart. Sonic said.
Sally smiled.
And... Sally said. Sonic sighed.
And youre a better fighter. Sonic admitted. Everyone cheered and Sonic
turned around.
Ive had enough for awhile. Im going to bed now. My heads ringing.
 
* * *
 
Sally walked into Sonics long abandoned hut. He laid on the wooden floor
gazing at the ceiling. Sally sat next to Sonic. Sonic didnt bother to
acknowledge Sally whatsoever.
Well, you saved the world again honey! Sally told Sonic. Sonic shook his head.
No, I didnt save the world alone. Sonic said. Sally gasped.
Youre actually giving other people credit?!
Not really. Its just that we woulda died if Scorch hadnt saved us.
What about the rest of us?! Sally asked in shock. Sonic looked around
nervously.
I think Ill have a chili-dog. Sonic said and walked off. Tomorrow we
start rebuilding Mobotropolis for the fourth time in history. Sally just shook
her head and smiled. He was still the same hedgehog as he had always been. That
was just the way she wanted it, too.
 
Epilogue(1 year later)
 
Sonic was putting the finishing touches on the castle of New Mobotropolis.
It was a giant crater, but they fixed it back to its original beauty and glory.
Scorch had decided to stay in New Mobotropolis this time. He said that Sonic
needed his help in case more people with delusions of grandeur showed up to
conquer Mobius. Scorch and Ami had two wonderful children. Speaking of those
children...
Hey dad! Can Me, Horizon, Sara, and Jenny play at the playground? asked
Scooter. Sonic nodded and got back to work. His dad and uncle were talking endlessly
it seemed like. As long as they were happy. Not to mention he and his dad went
fishing the other day as a joke of what he had said on the ship. No one really
minded being ten years younger (the kids didnt even notice). The only real
frightening thing was that Sonic was almost as old as his dad and uncle. With
the help of the strange new poro, Bunnie was cured of the anomaly that made her
turn back into a cyborg every time her adrenaline levels went up. Bunnie and Rotor
were married and Caitlyn was very pleased to have a father even if he had
big teeth. Snively fit in quite well with the Mobian inhabitants and proved
to the Mobians that even humans had some good in them. Of course, no one quite
knows what happened to the humans other than Julian and Snively...
 
THE END!!!!!!!

Here are my next few stories. Number one will be released as soon as I make proper
changes (it has a few SU characters which don't belong). The others will be out after
three months between story release. I have approx. 64 different plots made, so look
forward to some good ones. You'll have to be patient with the early ones, however...:
 
3) Error in the System - When Sonic dies, the Freedom Fighters aren't ready for what follows...
 
4) Error in the System II - Blade returns with a unrelenting feeling of revenge
 
5) If I Go Crazy - Sally pisses Sonic off so much he goes insane. Can Sally restore his
sanity before Robotnik AND Sonic destroy the Freedom Fighters?
 
6) Beautiful Oblivion - One of Robotniks killer projects backfires, turning part of Mobius
unstable in a strange way... (The first really good story since this
one)
 
7) Personality Problems - Sally and Sonic switch personalities (not minds). Chaos
persues.
 
 
We can build this dream together
 Stand this storm forever
 Nothings gonna stop us now
 And if this world runs out of lovers
 Well still have each other
 Nothings gonna stop us now
