The Prophecy

part 3

by Sonique

"What do you think, Sal?"

"I'm not really sure. My guess is this factory is the right one."

"Okay, so we need three secondary processor B microchips. They should be in

there." Sally pointed to the factory in front of them.

Sonic stood up, "I'll distract the bots, you.."

"Sonic, Sally! Hi!" Alison came running excitedly up to them. "What's up?" She

asked when she came up to them.

"Yo, Al!" Sonic raised his hand for her to give her a high five and she did.

"Good to see you again!"

Alison turned to Sally, "How's it going, Sally?"

Sally still didn't trust her but tried not to show it, "Uh.. not bad."

"What brings you two to Robotropolis?"

"Well.. actually.." Sally began but as usual, Sonic interrupted her.

"We need three secondary processor B microchips."

"Whoa!" Alison exclaimed. "That is so totally weird. I was totally just like in

that factory that makes those today." For some reason, she always felt more

comfortable around the Freedom Fighters, so she would just say whatever came to

her mind even if it was slang.

"Yeah, we need these parts for our deRoboticiser." Sonic explained.

That displeased Sally, for Sonic had just told her what they were working on,

but she remained calm.

"Want me to go get them?" Alison asked.

"Oh, sure. If it's not too much trouble." Sonic replied.

"None at all. You guys just stay here and like totally remain out of sight."

Alison ran off in the other direction.

"Gee, Sonic." Sally said sarcastically, "Why don't you just tell her where

Knothole is while you're at it?"

"What's up, Sal?" Sonic turned to her.

"I just don't know if we can trust her."

"Sal, Sal, Sal." Sonic shook his head. "You gotta trust someone sometimes."

"And I honestly think this is not one of those times."

"She's given me no reason to not trust her."

"Sonic, she pointed a gun at you the first time you met!"

"So? She saved my life, too!"

"Right. After she wanted to take it."

"Hedgehog priority one. Hedgehog priority one."

Sonic and Sally gasped as they saw a sea of SWaTBot on foot and in air charging

for them.

"AMBUSH!" Sonic yelled.

They stared in horror as at least twenty SWaTBots one foot charged at them from

all different directions until they completely surrounded Sonic and Sally in one

big circle. Then, red hover units from above also flew onto the scene, all the

while blaring their sirens and screaming, "Hedgehog priority one. Hedgehog

priority one." in their robotic voices.

"Light up time, Sal!" Sonic yelled. He reached into his backpack for a power

ring. Sonic gasped when he realized the power ring was gone. He took the

backpack off his back and began fanatically searching inside all the pockets he

had, "It's gone!" He exclaimed.

"I'm coming!" A voice called from what appeared to be no where.

"Alison?" Sonic asked searching for her on the ground.

Suddenly, she plummeted down from above them, but landed on her feet. She

quickly reached into her back pocket, pulled out a small card and showed it to

the SWaTBots. "Return to stations." She ordered.

The SWaTBot immediately turned back to their upright, harmless positions and

began to walk back to their stations. Another SWaTBot came up right behind Sally

and reached out for her, but Alison noticed the shadow behind Sally, whipped

around and showed the Bot her card, "Return to you station." She said sternly.

Sally turned and gasped as she realized how close she got to being captured.

After all the Bots have left the scene, Sonic said, "Thanks, Al."

"Yeah..uh.. thanks." Sally still didn't want to trust her.

"Man, you really saved our haunches." Sonic remarked.

"Thanks." Alison replied, then she held out her hands with the chips they had

requested, "Here. I was able to get a few of these."

Sonic took them, Cool!"

"You'd better leave before something else happens."

"See ya, Al." Sonic took Sally in his arms and rushed out of Robotropolis.

"Sir! Sir!" Snively rushed into Robotnik's chamber to tell him the news of what

Alison just did hoping to ruin her.

"What is it Snively?" Robotnik mumbled while paging through a book.

"Alison saved the Freedom Fighters again!"

Robotnik sighed and rolls his eyes at Snively, "Snively, it's just part of her

brilliant plan to capture all of the Freedom Fighters."

"But.. but.."

"No buts, Snively!" Robotnik yelled at him. "I want this place to look nice for

my wedding. Go and clean the bathrooms! Make sure the toilets are spotless!"

Snively's jaw dropped practically to the floor, "Sir, you can't be serious."

"Stop grumbling and do as I say. I want those bathrooms as clean as can be. Use

your toothbrush to get the insides of the toilets clean!"

"But.." Snively decided complaining would do no use. He slumped and walked out

of the chamber mumbling to himself the whole way.

Alison trotted into her bathroom but when she walked inside, notice Snively

kneeling down cleaning the inside of her toilet with a toothbrush. Snively

didn't notice her come in because he was too busy grumbling to himself. She

enjoyed the view for a split second then decided to have some fun. Slowly, she

tiptoed up behind him and when he didn't expect it.. SPLASH! FLUUUUSH!

Snively quickly jolted his head out of the toilet and spat out the excess water

in his mouth. He wiped his mouth than turned to Alison with an irate expression,

"What was that for?" He screamed.

"You're right." Alison replied. "It's no fun giving a swirly to someone with no

hair." Then she notice the toothbrush he was using was the same one she had

always used, "Hey, that's mine!"

Snively angrily stood up, practically ready to kill her but then realize what

she had just said, "Yours??"

"Yeah, I've been using it since I came here."

"Y-You used my toothbrush?"

Alison backed up when she saw the anger in Snively's eyes.

Snively broke the toothbrush in two and wrathfully whipped the pieces onto the

floor. "I don't believe you! That's disgusting!"

"Hey, I didn't know."

Snively calmed himself down, "I guess that's no surprise." He sighed, "Now are

you gonna help me or what?"

Alison shrugged, "Yeah I'll help."

Snively acted shocked, "You will???"

"Sure." Alison walked over to the bucket of soap-water he had on the ground,

picked it up and headed toward Snively with a devious expression.

"NO!" Snively yelled, "Don't even think about it!"

"Okay." Alison stopped moving for a second, then once Snively turned his back,

she dumped the soap water bucket over his head.

"HEY!" Snively screamed. He flung the bucket off his head and started rubbing

the soap from his head.

Alison knew he'd be mad once he finished so she made one last remark, "There, I

didn't think about it, I did it." And fled out the bathroom.

Snively dashed after her in rage trying best to keep his balance, for his feet

were slippery due to the soap. Alison turned around astonished because she

didn't expect Snively to run after her so fast. Something made her stop dead in

her tracks though. She gasped as the saw the worker bot who walked by her. "That

looks almost like the echidna in my dream."

The bot echidna paid no attention to Alison but continued walking by her

carrying her box of tools. This echidna was slightly different in that her

dreadlocks spread upward than down, rather then just going straight down her

head; she also stood about four inches taller than the other echidna. However,

Alison couldn't help notice the similarities such as, she too had a small gem in

the center of a band on her head and her dress was also old fashioned with many

shades of red.

Snively ran up to her and violently grabbed her arms, "You listen here,

missy..." He began but then realize she was paying no attention to him but

watching the echidna bot. He looked over at the bot then said, "What's the big

deal?"

"She... looks familiar. I recognize her." Alison easily broke free of Snively's

grasp and watched the echidna wander off behind a corner. "What's her name?"

Snively shrugged, "How would I know?"

"I have to talk to her." Alison jogged around the corner that the worker bot had

turned and say her in the distance. "Hey!" Alison called but the bot showed no

interest in her and kept walking. "Oh, I need to get her attention."

Suddenly, as if from nowhere, a voice came into Alison's head and whispered

something to her. Alison didn't quite understand the voice but something

compelled her to repeat what the voice had said out loud, "Winney?"

The voice whispered something else to her.

"No, not Winney.. um.. W-W.." She listen closer trying to guess what the voice

was saying and repeating what she heard, "Wenny.. Wendy!" It came to her, "The

bot's name is Wendy?" Somehow she knew that's what the voice was trying to say

but then, the voice said something else to her and again, Alison repeated what

she had heard, "Wendy is... no.. Wendy has.. a... Wendy has a... sister? Is that

it?"

The voice answered yes.

"Wendy has a sister! Okay. I get it!"

The voice began speaking a word to her again.

"Ti.. Timmy.. no... um.. Tikle.. no.." Then she heard it loud and clear, "Tikal!

Her sister's name is Tikal!"

"What are you doing?" Snively came up behind her.

"Huh?" Alison came to and looked around. Wendy had vanished, "Oh man! Thanks a

lot, Snively."

"What did I do?"

"You were born!" She yelled. "No, wait, you were probably hatched." She laughed

at her joke.

"SNIVELY!" Robotnik walked into the hallway they were in. "Why are you not

cleaning the bathrooms like I told you?"

Snively replied calmly, "How can I when Alison is dunking my head in the toilet

and making a mess of things?"

Alison rolled her eyes, "I only dipped your head in the toilet once."

"Snively, get back to work. I need to talk to Alison." Robotnik pointed to the

bathrooms.

Snively nodded, "Yes, Sir." He headed off toward the bathroom with a disgusted

look on his face.

When Snively left, Alison and Robotnik starting talking to each other at the

same time and couldn't understand one another.

Robotnik said, "You first."

"Is there anyway to gain back the memory of the roboticised people?"

"No, why?"

"Just.. wondering." She sighed.

"I need you to pick out a cake for our wedding.."

"Cheese cake!" She immediately responded.

"I had to ask." Robotnik replied. "Now, for your dress.."

"NO!" Alison yelled. "I don't do the dress thing."

"What?" Robotnik was mad again.

"I mean, I don't like to wear dresses. I haven't worn one since I was.. I don't

even remember."

"This is a wedding, what do you think you're going to wear?"

"A tux?"

"A tux? A tux?? You think you are going to walk down the isle in a tux?!" He

hollered. Then he ordered, "You will wear a dress like any normal lady would at

her wedding!"

"Y'know, it seems we have a lot of different opinions about this wedding, maybe

we shouldn't get married." Alison suggested. "I'm too young for marriage. Plus,

I'm not even on my own world."

"Do you miss your home?" Robotnik asked her.

"Of course I do."

Robotnik got an evil thought, "Listen, I'll make you a deal. I can help you, if

you can help me."

Alison was desperate, "What do I have to do?"

"I will do everything in my power to send you home, if you capture Sonic for

me."

"Capture Sonic for you?"

"Yes. You be the judge, my dear, is it a deal?"

Alison didn't want to capture her friends, but had no other way to get home

without his help; however, she didn't want her friend's to end up mindless

robots with no chance of escape. "Well... you're not going to roboticise him,

are you?"

Robotnik paused for a second to think about his answer. "Not unless you want me

too."

"I wouldn't think of it. I'd much rather have them as prisoners!"

"I want to go home more than anything. I've never felt so alone in my entire

life, but I can't betray my friends. On the other hand, they will have a chance

for escape if they aren't robots. No, I can't betray my friends.."

"Well, what's your decision?" Robotnik grew weary of patience.

She turned confidently and looked at him, "I'll do it! We have a deal!"

Alison glared at herself in the mirror as she tried on her wedding dress, "I

hate dresses." She mumbled to herself straightening out some wrinkles in the

white satin fabric.

The door to the room opened and in walked Snively with a black tuxedo and red

bow tie on. He fixed the cuff on his left sleeve then said, "Robotnik wants to

know if you have a Maid of Honor?"

The drool practically fell from her mouth when she saw how handsome he looked in

his tuxedo.

Snively noticed her stare, "What?"

"Oh... um.. I've just never seen a guy that looked like a penguin before."

Snively rolled his eyes at her remark, "I don't understand why anyone in the

world would want to marry you."

"Shut up, Nose-Boy." She grumbled.

"I don't know why I even put up with your childish demeanor."

"Hey, you were the one who wanted me to marry him!"

"I didn't want you to marry him, I wanted him to make your life a living hell

like he has made mine."

A short amount of silence followed his remark, then Alison said, "Just, go away,

and leave me alone."

"But first, do you have a Maid of Honor or not?"

Alison sighed, "How am I supposed to have a Maid of Honor with no other girls

around, moron?"

Snively sighed at her stupid remark and, with no other responses, left the room.

Alison felt angry with herself because she kept hurting him, "All right!" She

told herself, "Wedding or no wedding, next time you see him, you tell him how

much you like him!"

As if hearing her, Snively burst into the room a second time, "Alison!" He

exclaimed.

Alison gasped when she saw him, "Uh.. Snively.. I have to say something to.."

"No time, Robotnik surveillance just picked up Sonic and some other Freedom

Fighters." He smiled deviously, "Now's your big chance."

"What? You think I won't?"

"Exactly."

"I'll show you, I'll catch those Freedom Fighters which is something you and

your uncle could never do."

"I'll believe that when I see it." He exited her room.

Alison sighed to herself, "Now what do I do?"

Alison walked over to the trap door she had set up earlier. If she could just

get the Freedom Fighters to stand over the door, all she would have to do was

push the button to trigger it. They'd fall through the open hole and once they

reached the bottom, the giant glue guns inside would fire preventing any

possible means of escape they may have.

"I can't do this. I can't betray my friends." But she wanted to go home now more

than ever. "Snively's right, I'll never be able to do this."

"Hey, Al!"

"Sonic!" She turned and saw Sonic, Sally and Bunnie approaching. "Uh.. hi."

Sally spoke, "Is what we just heard true? Are you really marrying Robotnik?"

"I don't want to but he's making me."

"Tough break, Al. You'd better bail before things get even worse." Sonic said.

"Well... actually.. I found.. I found something that can stop Robotnik once and

for all!" Alison stuttered.

They all gasped simultaneously, then Bunnie asked, "What is it, Ali-Girl?"

"Well...it's..." Alison paused to think of what to say, she took in a deep

breath. "In order for you to see it you need to wait right here while I go get

it."

Alison left them standing on the trap, and walked to the factory where the

button was located. From the inside of the factory she could see the Freedom

Fighters standing right where they needed to be. Alison picked up the button,

took a deep breath, and pressed the button. The trap door opened making a loud

screeching noise followed by the screams of the Sonic and the girls, but the

screams were soon muffled under the loud spraying of the glue guns. Alison

slowly walked out of the factory to see if the trap had worked. She peered into

the trap to see them all of them covered in glue. Sonic looked up at her.

"You... how..." he was speechless.

Alison looked back at him, "I'm sorry." She said in a quiet voice. She then took

her communicator out of her pocket and opened it. "I've got three of the Freedom

Fighters, home in on my communicator's signal."

Alison watched the SWaTBots approach from a distance. When they arrived Alison

ordered, "Strip them of their belongings, and keep a close watch on the

hedgehog."

"I knew she couldn't be trusted." Sally yelled.

Robotnik watched on his TV surveillance screen and smiled evilly when he saw

Sonic captured, "Yes! Oh, my, she caught them."

Snively turned around in shock, "She caught them, Sir?"

"Yes, now ready the Roboticiser!" He ordered point Snively to the Roboticising

chamber.

"But, Sir, you said you wouldn't robot..."

"Shut up, Snively! What she doesn't know, can't hurt her."

Alison moped down the halls of Robotnik's headquarters wondering where he could

be. She heard SWaTBot footsteps coming down the hall in the distance, but didn't

look up until she heard Sally, "I knew we couldn't trust that little bitch."

Then in horror Alison realized the SWaTBots were taking them to the roboticising

chamber. "No way!" She quickly ran down the hall and entered the chamber. Inside

stood the SWaTbots carrying the Freedom Fighters with Sonic first in line to be

roboticised.

"It's almost ready, Sir." Snively said as he pushed some buttons on the

Roboticiser controls.

"Hey!" Alison exclaimed.

Robotnik seemed shocked that Alison had found them, "What are you doing in

here?"

"ME?! What are they doing in here?" She pointed to the prisoners.

Robotnik completely ignored her and spoke to Snively, "Hurry it up, Snively. I

want this done so we can get on with the wedding."

"Stop!" Alison called. "You said you wouldn't roboticise them."

Again he ignored her, "Put Sonic in the Roboticiser." Robotnik ordered.

The SWaTBot obeyed and set Sonic down on the platform and a thick glass case

came over Sonic so he couldn't escape. "Let me out." Sonic pushed on the glass

hoping he could get out that way.

"Without Sonic, I can rule this planet, and when I die, my children will follow

in my footsteps."

That did it. Alison was completely against marrying him, but now he had broken a

promise and even expected her to have children with him. She let out an

uncontrollable but ear piercing scream, "NOOOOO!" With a quick motion, she

grabbed her weapon and began shooting around the room. At first, the anger she

felt made it hard for her to control herself and she shot aimlessly, but then

she'd calmed down and aimed right at the SWaTBots holding Sally and Bunnie.

"Wait!" Sally called to Alison afraid her anger might cause her to accidentally

hit her or Bunnie. "Alison, wait!"

Sally spoke too late for Alison had already fired and nailed the SWaTbot holding

Bunnie right in the head. She began to fire rapidly again and again forcing the

bot let go of Bunnie and fall to the floor.

"Ah gotch y'all Sally-girl." Bunnie leaped into the air and kicked the other

SWaTbot causing it to let go of Sally and fall to the floor.

"Stop it!" Robotnik yelled at Alison still amazed at what she had done, "You're

ruining everything you mutant."

"Security!" Snively called.

Three more SWaTbots entered the room ready to fire, "Freedom Fighters, priority

one." They shot at Sally and Bunnie as they took cover behind a machine.

Alison ran over to them, "You've got to save Sonic!"

"She's raht, Sally-girl, come on!" Bunnie stood up and headed over to the glass

case that held Sonic.

Alison saw Snively run over to the controls and reach for the Roboticiser

button, "Oh, no you don't." He jerked his hand away from it as a laser beam came

and hit the button dismantling it. He angrily turned to Alison.

"I told you I was a good shot." She replied with a smile.

Snively bared his teeth in rage, "You... you.. stupid... bitch!"

The whole fight stopped and everyone gasped turning to Snively.

"What?" Snively asked in an annoyed voice.

"We just didn't expect that from you." Alison said.

The fight then continued and Bunnie tried hard to open the glass case's door so

Sonic could be free.

"Harder Bunnie. Pull harder!" Sonic helped her out by pushing as hard as he

could and finally, the door popped open.

"There ya go, Sugah-hog!" Bunnie exclaimed excitedly.

Alison shot at the SWaTbot keeping them away from Sonic and the girls so they

could make a getaway.

Sonic said. "Sally, hold onto me; Bunnie, hold onto Sally and Alison, hold onto

Bunnie."

Alison turned to them in shock, "You want me to come?"

"Sure do." Sonic replied.

Sally then said, "Let's go before they send more SWaTbots."

Alison put her gun into her holster and took a hold of Bunnie's arms.

"Y'all hang on tight now, Ali-girl." Bunnie told Alison.

"Juice and jam time!"

In incredible speed Sonic took off out the door but his speed was too much for

Alison and she flew off landing in front of Snively. Taking advantage of the

situation, he grabbed Alison's arms and held them behind her back. "No longer

Robotnik's favorite, are we?" He asked with an evil grin.

Robotnik stormed over to Alison and bellowed, "That was a huge mistake, my dear,

but coincidentally, your last."

Sonic ran as fast as he could out of the headquarters. Something told him to

look back at the girls so he did. "Whoa!" He came to a screeching halt when he

saw Alison was no longer with them.

"Sonic, what's wrong?" Sally asked.

"Where's Al?"

Bunnie gasped as she realized Alison had fallen off, "Ah thought she was heah

with me."

"I gotta go back." Sonic reached into his pack for a power ring then remembered,

the SWaTbots had taken his pack. "Oh no!" Saying no more to the girls, he sped

past them toward the chamber.

Alison stood on top of the Roboticiser platform fearfully pushing on the glass

that surrounded her hoping to break free. "Please, let me go." She pleaded to

Robotnik and Snively.

"Shut up!" Robotnik yelled at her. Then he added, "You traitor." He walked over

to Snively, "Is it ready yet?"

"It's ready, Sir." Snively responded.

"Activate."

"With pleasure, Sir." He smiled to Alison and said, "Not so peppy, now, are we?

See you in hell."

"NO! Wait!"

Her cries did no good, for before she could say anything else, Snively pressed

the activation button on the control panel.

"NOO!" Alison stared at the green light that came down at her. She reached up as

if trying to block it with her hands but this only cause her hands to become

metal like a robot's. She screamed in terror when she saw this and then, the

light covered her whole body slowly turning her into a mindless zombie robot.

First, her legs, then it moved its way up to her waist as she continued

screaming. She took one last look at Snively who beamed with gratification, then

everything turned red as blood.

The glass tube then opened and she found herself stepping out, even though she

hadn't told herself to. She could hear Robotnik and Snively talking but couldn't

respond to what they were saying. It was like nightmare; she had no control over

her body.

Sonic dashed into the room at full speed and stopped right in front of Alison,

"Damn it! I'm too late!"

Alison responded by reaching out for Sonic, "Hedgehog priority one. Detain by

order of Robotnik."

Sonic gasped staring into her red glowing eyes and metallic features, "This

isn't good."
