STH: The Anti-Mobius Saga Part III (193-194 Redone)

Outside of Freedom HQ, evening…

After leaving Sonic and Knuckles, Scourge heads back to the HQ to see Boomer's progress on the main computer. The Suppression Squad watches carefully as he

makes his way towards the cybernetic walrus.

Scourge looks at Boomer and grins,

"Time's up, nerd. Have you finished hackin' into the computer or what?"

Boomer starts to sweat,

"Not yet, your highness. I only need a couple more-"

Scourge grabs Boomer by the neck before he can even finish his sentence,

"I toldja what would happen if you didn't finish by the end of the day."

Boomer was terrified and braced himself for Scourge's beating.

Fiona steps in though,

"Stop, Scourge! He doesn't need to hack the computer!"

Scourge puts Boomer down and turns towards Fiona with a frown,

"You tryna tick me off too, Fi?"

Fiona's expression instantly changed to a scared one and she raises her hands defensively,

"N-no, not at all! It's just… you said you wanted to conquer this world quickly, right? And that you wanted any advantage that you can get?"

"Yeah." Scourge answered.

"I have an idea that can help you do that." Fiona insisted.

Scourge folds his arms,

"Hurry up and tell me then. I'm not in a patient mood."

The female fox let out a sigh of relief,

"From what I've heard, New Mobotropolis has a lot of amazing technology as well as some useful information about this planet. I was thinking... if the Suppression

Squad can distract the Freedom Fighters, I can infiltrate their city and steal everything they've got."

Scourge looks up at the ceiling and thinks to himself,

"Yeah… That sounds good… real good."

He focuses back on Fiona,

"Alright, Fi. We'll go with your plan."

Scourge then glared at the still terrified Boomer,

"Looks like it's your lucky day, chump. You're goin' with Fi and the others to help steal that tech tomorrow mornin'."

Scourge's points to everyone else,

"Just know that if you all come back empty handed, you're gonna wish you were never born." he threatened before leaving the room.

Everyone had scared looks, except for Fiona and Miles. They were instead smirking at each other.

'All according to plan.' Fiona thought.

The next morning, at the New Mobotropolis Science Center…

Rotor and Tails are getting ready to activate the secondary star posts while Sonic, Sally, and Amy wait beside them.

"Yo, Rote. Have you rigged this thing to send us to Moebius or what?" Sonic asked.

Rotor was a little distracted trying to put the coordinates into the star posts,

"Yes, I have. But there seems to be an issue."

Sally felt skeptical,

"What is it?" she asked.

Tails finishes tinkering with the right star post and answers Sally with a worried look,

"We can't figure out where the star posts will drop us off. It's completely random where we end up on Moebius."

Sonic smirks,

"Is that all? That ain't a big deal, lil bro. That only means we'll have to improvise on the spot."

"If you say so." Tails muttered back while he and Sonic put on their backpacks.

Amy approaches Tails and hugs him,

"Good luck on your mission, Tails."

Tails smiles and hugs her back,

"Thanks, Amy."

Sonic puts an arm around the young fox,

"Okay, bud. Time to head to Moebius and find a way to reverse Scourge's invasion."

Sally put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to the side, giving the duo a warm smile,

"Be extra careful, you two. There's a good chance that you'll run into trouble over there."

Sonic's smirk grows larger as he walks over to his companion,

"You worry too much, Sal. Me and Tails'll be fine. We always have each others' backs!"

"You got that right, Sonic!" Tails agreed.

The princess rubs the back of her head and shifts her eyes to the side,

"I know, I know. I can't help but worry, though. You two don't know what could await you on Moebius, and I'm sure things have changed quite a bit since Scourge took

over."

The Blue Blur smiled in response to Sally's timid behavior. He found it cute. The hedgehog has always known that the princess tended to prioritize others' needs first

before her own. And that she worries about other's more than herself. Sometimes it gets on his nerves, but overall, he admires it. Especially since there are moments where

he can be the same.

Still, he felt the need to ease her anxiety. And he knew exactly how.

The Blue Blur grabs both of the chipmunk's hands and says,

"Y'know, I don't say this often enough, but... I love ya, Sal."

Sally pauses for a bit after hearing what Sonic said. His sentence caught her completely off guard. She very rarely hears the hedgehog utter those three words. In fact,

the last time he flat out said it was when she had been awoken from her coma (Issue 50). After that, she was always the one who said those words to him and he'd

always respond with, "Same here","Me too", or "Ditto". This however, never offended her because he would always show that he loved her through actions. To her, that

mattered more. Still, hearing him say the three words was music to her ears.

She smiled back at the hedgehog, wrapping her arms around his neck,

"I love you too, Sonic."

Sonic hugs back and continues speaking from her shoulder,

"If you and the others need us back here, contact me through my transceiver and we'll be back in a Sonic second."

Sally separates from him and smiles at Amy,

"I'll be sure to remember that. Though I think we can handle things here."

Amy's Piko Hammer appears and she gives Sonic a tenacious look,

"Sally's right, Sonic. If anyone tries to mess with us, I'll smash their face in!"

Sonic chuckles at Amy's determination and gives her a thumbs up,

"That's the spirit!"

The star posts activate, causing revolving red stars to appear and form a portal,

"Everything's good to go, Sonic." Rotor announced.

Sonic and Tails stand side by side in front of the portal,

"Alright, T2. Let's do it to it!"

Tails gave the Blue Blur a confident smirk and they both jump through the portal.

Moebius, Knothole Village…

Sonic and Tails step out of the portal and take some time to check their surroundings. Their confident smiles disappear as they survey the area, turning into faces of

disbelief. The village has been burnt down and there were a few motionless Moebians on the ground. Actually, there was absolutely no movement anywhere. It felt like a

ghost town.

"Woah… this is-" Sonic started.

"Terrible…" Tails finished.

Sonic looks around some more and he spots one hut that didn't get torched,

"Tails, that place over there is still intact. Let's check it out."

Tails had a fearful expression,

"Okay."

They both speed over to the hut and stop to examine it carefully.

Sonic recognizes the hut, causing his eyes to widen,

"No way… this is Scourge's crib. That means we're in Knothole."

Sonic turns his attention to Tails, who was glaring at the ground with small tears.

He places a hand on his shoulder, changing his expression to a concerned one,

"Tails? You okay, buddy?"

"No... I'm not. If Scourge's home is the only one standing, then that means he did this. That's the only explanation that makes sense. He hurt all these people, and

destroyed their homes. He's… he's a monster. We have to stop him, Sonic… we just have to…" Tails answered.

The hedgehog froze up,

'He's right. Why would Scourge's joint be the only one standing? It can't be a coincidence.' he thought.

He focuses back on Tails,

"Hey… hey, look at me."

The young fox slowly lifts his head, his sad eyes met with Sonic's.

"We will stop him, lil bro. Trust me. Remember that that's why we're here. We're looking for something to throw that creep off his game."

Tails nods in compliance making his "big bro" smile softly,

"C'mon, let's get outta here and start searching."

The fox stopped the hedgehog from moving,

"Not yet, Sonic. We should check to see if anybody survived here."

"Everyone here is gone for good, Tails... Let's just focus on the mission, alright?" Sonic replied.

Then the duo hears a faint voice in the distance,

"Is…s-someone there..."

The two waste no time making their way to the source of the sound. The sound came from female Moebian squirrel, who was barely holding onto life. Her

purple nightgown had a bunch of cuts and she was heavily bruised. The lower half of her body was also trapped under a bunch of debris.

Sonic and Tails don't say a word and help her out quickly, removing all of the rubble.

Tails leans down to her with a sympathetic look,

"Are you alright, ma'am?"

She smiles weakly at the fox, trying hard to keep her eyes open,

"I've b-been... better, but... th-thank you…"

"Who did this to you? Who's responsible for all this?" Sonic asked.

"A… g-green hedgehog… and his... gang…" she answered.

Hearing this made the Blue Blur want to punch something,

'So Scourge IS responsible! I knew he was messed up, but this… this isn't cool. The fact that this dude is another version of me only makes it more sickening. I could

never imagine myself doing something this... horrible." he thought.

Tails continued questioning the squirrel,

"Are there any other survivors, besides you?"

The squirrel tears up,

"N-no… n-not here… the only... M-moebians left are at... K-kintobor's Hospital Tower…"

Sonic grows a hopeful smile,

"Then we better get over there and getcha the help you need."

"N-no… I w-won't... make it…" the squirrel declined.

Sonic picks her up carefully,

"Don't talk like that. I'm the fastest thing alive. I'll get you there in time."

The squirrel smiles faintly,

"I-I appreciate-" she closes her eyes before finishing her sentence and slowly goes limp.

Sonic and Tails eyes widen again,

"Ma'am? Ma'am?!" Tails yelled.

The hedgehog lays her down gently and checks for a pulse,

"Sonic... is she?"

Tails knew the answer by the sad gaze his friend gave him.

The Blue Blur stands up and takes a deep breath,

"Let's go to that tower she mentioned, Tails."

The young fox couldn't argue. He was too upset by what he just experienced. All he wanted to do was avenge the squirrel and everyone who had fallen in this village.

He didn't say another word, only responding with a nod.

Mobius, New Mobotropolis Science Center…

The star posts have unexpectedly deactivated and Rotor was trying to get them running again.

Sally was tapping her foot with a worried look,

"Anything yet, Rotor? It's been thirty minutes."

Rotor was glaring at the star posts,

"Still nothing, Sally. I can't figure out what caused the red stars to disappear. I'm just glad the portal stayed open for as long it did."

Amy was concerned as well,

"But if the star posts don't work, then how are Sonic and Tails going to get back here?"

"I honestly don't know, Amy. Me and Sir Charles didn't think that far ahead. We sort of rushed to finish these star posts." Rotor answered.

The princess started to feel guilty,

"I'm sorry, Rotor. I should've given you more time, but I got caught up in the moment. Now because of my rash decision, Sonic and Tails are stranded on Moebius

with no way of returning."

Rotor smiles softly,

"Don't get bent out of shape yet, Sally. I'll think of something."

Nicole appears in the middle of all of them, looking troubled,

"Nicole? Is something wrong?" Sally asked.

"Um, have Sonic and Tails left already?" Nicole asked back.

"Yes, they departed thirty minutes ago. Why do you ask?" Sally answered.

"The Suppression Squad is currently waiting outside of the city limits." Nicole replied.

This made the chipmunk frown,

"Contact Antoine and Bunnie, Nicole. Have them meet me there."

The princess then turns to Amy,

"Come on, Amy."

Shortly, the four Freedom Fighters find themselves outside of the city, facing Fiona and the Suppression Squad.

Amy grew a livid expression at the sight of the red vixen,

"You."

The other Freedom Fighters looked ready to attack but Fiona speaks up,

"Wait! We didn't come here to fight you!"

"You expect us to listen to ya after double crossin' us?" Bunnie asked.

"I know you have every reason to distrust me, but I swear on my life I'm not lying this time." Fiona pleaded.

Amy growls,

"Forget it! I'll never trust you again! Especially after what you did to Tails!"

Sally was observing Fiona's body language and intervened,

"Hold on... Let's listen to what she has to say."

Antoine looked at Sally like she had two heads,

"Ma princesse, have you losted your brains?!"

The princess frowns at the coyote,

"No, Antoine. I haven't "lost my mind". If I have the option to resolve things peacefully, then I'll take it."

She focuses back on Fiona,

"Okay, Fiona. If you're not here to fight, then what are you here for?"

"I came here to offer a truce between our teams." Fiona answered.

Bunnie and Antoine looked confused but Amy and Sally were still frowning.

The princess raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms,

"I don't understand. First you leave us because you found the "hero life" boring, and now you want to work with us again? That doesn't add up. What's really going on

here?"

Fiona had an awkward expression,

"Look, it's... complicated… I don't feel comfortable talking about it. All I know is that if we team up with you and Sonic, we can bring Scourge down."

Sally points directly at the fox,

"I'll consider it, but only if you give us more details. What made you change your mind?"

Fiona sighs in anguish,

"Alright... I'll start from when Scourge took me to his zone."

A sad look appeared on her face,

"When we arrived on Anti-Mobius, Scourge told me that he wanted to be more than just Sonic's twin and he believed that becoming king of the planet would make him

superior."

Fiona looked at the ground in shame and closed her eyes,

"I… I thought it was exciting, so I went with it... But then Scourge became absolutely merciless, and the way he went about things was psychotic. The first thing he did

was confront the Anti-Freedom Fighters about their names and looks."

Miles continues the story, looking sad as well,

"She is correct. Scourge was bent on making us something "more" then your evil counterparts. He forced us to take on new names and appearances and when we

refused, he beat us until we complied. He even started to abuse Fiona when he realized how disturbed she was by his actions. He wanted everyone to obey him.

Those who didn't were either beaten or killed. Once he was done conquering the planet, he renamed it "Moebius" and made himself king."

Fiona finishes the rest,

"But soon, he got bored, saying that conquering his planet was "too easy". So he had us steal Dr. Kintobor's globe posts so we could invade your zone. This is when I

realized that we could escape if we found you guys. But we had to continue playing along with Scourge's charade. At least until we discovered a safe way to talk to

you all privately. Today, we convinced him to send us to your city so we could steal your technology."

All the Freedom Fighters frown in response to Fiona's last sentence, causing the fox to raise her hands defensively with a sheepish smile,

"Of course, we're not actually going to steal anything. We only told him that so we could escape and form an alliance with you."

"Mmmhmm...sure" Sally muttered sarcastically.

"I'm being serious." Fiona reassured.

"So you want us to help you overwhelm him?" Sally asked.

Fiona's expression returns to a melancholy one,

"Yes, please. We can't stand up to Scourge alone. He's too powerful, and if we go back now, he'll mutilate us for returning to him with nothing."

The princess takes a moment to think,

"I suppose it could work… our teams are evenly matched, and if Sonic was able to join us, our combined strength should be enough to defeat him."

She then puts her hand out,

"Alright, we'll assist you. Sonic isn't here right now, but Rotor is fixing our star posts so we can bring him back as soon as possible."

Fiona smiles and shakes hands with the princess,

"Thank you, Sally."

Amy squints at Fiona,

"I'm keeping my eyes on you, vixen."

"Ummm… okay…" Fiona replied.

Miles sauntered up to Sally,

"May I ask, if Sonic isn't here, then where is he?"

Sally raises both eyebrows,

"Sonic is on Moebius with Tails right now. But since our star posts stopped working, they both have no way of getting back here. That's why we're relying on Rotor to

repair them."

Miles smirks,

"I believe I have a better solution. While Scourge was sleeping last night, me and Boomer rigged your first set of star posts to be a bridge between this planet and

ours."

Sally turns towards the New Mobotropolis border,

"Nicole?"

Nicole projects a hologram of herself from the city's wall,

"Yes, Sally?"

"I know you still have access to the lab in Freedom HQ. Can you confirm Miles' story?" Sally asked.

Nicole closes her eyes and checks the state of the star posts at the HQ,

"Yes. Miles is telling the truth."

The princess looks back at the younger fox,

"Very well. I assume you have something planned?"

Fiona and Miles both smirk at each other,

"We do." they both said.

Moebius, outside of the Grand Forest…

Sonic and Tails stop right before the forest entrance to look at Kintobor's tower in the distance.

"Oh, yeah. That's definitely the place. It sticks out like a sore thumb." Sonic said.

"I'll say. It's so beautiful compared to the wasteland we've been traveling on." Tails agreed.

Sonic smiles down at his best bud,

"Why don't we pay the good doctor a visit, lil bro." he jested, trying to lighten the mood a little.

The young fox answers him with a small smile and both of them race towards the giant tower. Once they stop at the entrance, the

two peek inside.

"It's almost pitch black. Seems like there's no one here." Tails said.

"Eh, maybe. Doesn't hurt to check, though." Sonic replied.

They start making their way down the hallway, passing by some strange paintings of chao and other things.

"I don't know about you Tails, but some of these portraits give me the mondo creeps." Sonic commented.

Tails was frowning at a picture of a fat man with a cone head. He had red eyes, an orange mustache, and a strange red body suit.

"I feel the same way, Sonic. This one over here is real creepy."

Sonic stood next to Tails and glanced at the portrait,

"Ugh… talk about ugly."

The hedgehog then examines the photo closer,

"Wait a sec. He kinda looks like-"

At that instant a camera spots them and an alarm goes off,

"Warning! Unauthorized personal detected on the premises! Commencing lock-down!" a robotic voice yelled.

"Oops, guess we needed an invitation! C'mon, Tails! Let's juice on outta here!" Sonic shouted.

He and Tails run to the entrance, but when they get there they find out that the door is locked behind a steel wall.

'I guess this was the trouble Sal was talking about.' Sonic thought.

"No so fast!" a female voice yelled from across the hall.

Sonic turns to Tails with a serious expression,

"We got company after all, bud. You ready to go?"

Before Tails can answer, a blue Omega Unit comes at them with brute force. Sonic and Tails dodge to the side, causing the mech to crash into the entrance wall.

"Okay, Dr. Kintobor is definitely here." Tails said.

"He sure is! I was wondering when he'd build a bot!" Sonic replied.

"We need to find him. He could have some important information on Scourge." Tails suggested.

Sonic smirks,

"That's what I was thinking, too."

The Omega Unit recovers from the crash,

"Oh, no ya don't! You ain't goin' anywhere near the doc!"

It shoots riot foam at the two heroes' shoes, preventing them from moving.

Tails cringes,

"Yuck! What is this stuff?"

Sonic looks down at his feet and raises an eyebrow,

"I don't have a clue. All I know is that it smells bad."

The Omega Unit towers over both of them,

"Ah think ah should end this quickly."

After saying this, Dr. Kintobor runs down the hallway and yells,

"No, Buns! Stand down! They aren't our enemies!"

The Omega Unit stops,

"Wait, they aren't?"

"Not at all. This is Sonic and Tails from the Prime Zone." Kintobor confirmed.

The Omega Unit breaks the riot foam that was trapping the duo,

"Sorry 'bout that. Can't see colors too well in this doohickey."

Sonic and Tails frown at the Omega Unit,

"Buns, huh? So that means you're Anti-Bunnie, right?" Sonic asked.

Buns opens the cockpit to reveal her face,

"The one an' only."

The two heroes stare at each other and shrug.

Sonic then walks up to the slim doctor and shakes his hand with a smirk,

"Appreciate the save, doc. We're here because Scourge and his Suppression Squad invaded our home. We were wondering if there's anything here that can swing

things back in our favor."

Dr. Kintobor adjusts his glasses,

"Hmm… That explains why I haven't picked him up on my radar lately... You have my deepest apologies, Sonic. Please, shall we continue this conversation outdoors?

The weather is so wonderful today."

Later, in the center of the Grand Forest…

Everyone was sitting on their own benches near a flower field with a waterfall behind it.

"How did you manage to avoid Scourge's rampage, Dr. Kintobor?" Tails asked.

Sonic speaks up as well,

"Yeah, that's a good question. Considering how much this place stands out, I'm surprised he didn't trash it."

Kintobor smiles,

"Of course, allow me to explain. My hospital tower houses an invisibility force-field that prevents this forest from being detected. Any surviving Moebians have been

relocated here, where they're safe from King Scourge's ruthlessness."

Tails was bewildered,

"But that doesn't make any sense. If what you're saying is true, then how did me and Sonic find this place?"

The doctor changed his smile to a more confident grin,

"That's because my radar didn't pick up Scourge and his Suppression Squad. The invisibility only activates when they are nearby. I do this to conserve power."

Sonic and Tails smile at each other,

"Heh. Crafty guy, isn't he?" Sonic said.

"Definitely!" Tails agreed.

Sonic glanced at the doctor again,

"So, doc. Mind telling us how Scourge was able get to our dimension?"

Kintobor's confident smile completely disappears, being replaced by a shameful pout,

"I'm afraid that's my fault. While I was upgrading the tower's generator, his Suppression Squad managed to get inside and steal my prototype globe posts. They most

likely used them to invade your zone."

Sonic raised an eyebrow,

"Why did you build them in the first place?"

"I had hoped to search other zones for new medical techniques. I need something to heal Buns Rabbot. She's developed a disease known as N.I.D.S and everything

I've tried doesn't seem to cure her one bit." Kintobor answered.

Hearing this triggered a flashback in the hedgehog's mind. He remembers visiting the virtual creation of the Space Colony Ark with Shadow,

'That sounds similar to the story Gerald Robotnik told us. Maria wasn't the only one who was infected by this N.I.D.S thing after all.' he thought.

"Is that the reason why she's in robot armor?" Tails asked.

Buns stands up and frownns at the heroes,

"Yep. The disease spread rapidly and made it's way down mah spine, paralyzin' me. When Scourge found out, he kicked me to the curb and left me fer dead."

She then smiles at Dr. Kintobor and continues,

"Thankfully, the doc here took me in. He's the one who built me this suit and I wouldna' survived without 'im."

Tails smiles at the doctor too,

"Wow, that's an incredibly nice thing to do. I wish our Robotnik was as kind-hearted as you."

Kintobor smiles shyly,

"Oh, please. It was the least I could do. My Omega Care Unit prevents Buns' condition from progressing any further, as well as supporting her immune system."

The doctor then grows a sad look,

"Unfortunately, that armor is the only thing keeping her alive. Without it, she would not survive long. That is why I won't rest until she's completely healthy again."

Sonic smirks,

"Does this clunker have any cool weapons that can help us deal with my double?"

The doctor immediately frowns,

"No, I refuse to make any deadly weapons or build an army. The Omega Care Unit is only equipped with non-lethal weapons."

"So is there anything here that can give us an advantage over Scourge?" Tails asked.

Buns smirked,

"Ah suppose they could recruit you know who?"

Kintobor crosses his arms,

"Absolutely not! She's far too dangerous!"

"Nothing is too dangerous for us, doc. And we could use all the help we can get. Who is this girl Buns is talking about?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know if it's a good idea…" Kintobor mumbled.

"Please, Dr. Kintobor. Scourge and his Suppression Squad have taken over our main headquarters, and they can attack our city at any moment. We need any lead you

can give us." Tails pleaded.

Kintobor answers reluctantly,

"Her name is Rosy the Rascal. She hates Scourge and relentlessly stalks him. If you want to know where she is, my best guess would be at Castle Acorn. That was the

last place Scourge was seen."

Sonic smiles,

"Sweet!"

Kintobor turns to Buns,

"I want you to go with them, Buns. But before you leave, are there any tune-ups that the Omega Unit needs?"

"The bot's workin' just fine, doc. Ah'll protect the do-gooders." Buns answered.

The Blue Blur gives Kintobor a thumbs up,

"Cool. Then I guess we'll be on our way."

Kintobor had a worried look,

"But how do you two intend on getting home?"

"We'll use your globe posts, Dr. Kintobor. If Scourge was last seen at the castle, he probably set them up there." Tails answered.

The doctor scratches his head,

"Oh, I see... Then good luck to you, Sonic and Tails."

"Thanks for all the info, doc. Later!" Sonic replied.

Sonic and Tails speed off with Buns following closely.

Soon, at the entrance of Castle Acorn…

Sonic and Tails look at the castle with disgust,

"What happened to the castle? It's a complete dump." Tails said.

"Do you even need to ask? Scourge probably wrecked this place too." Sonic answered.

"Not this time, boys. The castle has looked like this fer a looong while." Buns corrected.

Tails looked worried,

"I'm not sure how I feel about this, Sonic. What if this Rosy girl decides to attack us?"

"Don't be so paranoid, bud. She can't be that bad if she hates Scourge." Sonic reassured.

"Alright, enough stallin'. Let's just get in there." Buns told them both.

The three walk inside and soon start to hear singing. They follow the sound which led them all the way into the throne room. Sitting on the throne is a pink hedgehog

who looks similar to Amy when she was younger.

"Sonic, that's Anti-Amy!" Tails yelled.

The pink hedgehog yelled back furiously,

"Don't call me that! My name is Rosy!"

Tails immediately got scared, prompting Sonic to speak up,

"Er- nice to meet ya, Rosy. We heard that you hate Scourge and we were-"

Rosy interrupts him,

"Have you seen my Scourgey?! Where is he?!"

Sonic smiles with a raised eyebrow,

"Umm… yeah. He's on my planet and I wanna know if you could help us fight him."

"Oooooh, so that's where he ran to. That meanie has always been running from me. I thought it was because I was little, so I used the magic in a special ring to make

myself older. Now I'm a big girl with a big hammer and still Scourgey runs away." Rosy replied.

Tails gives Rosy an uncomfortable smile,

"S-so you'll help us?"

Rosy grinned as her hammer appears ,

"So you can have Scourgey all to yourselves?! I don't think so! I'm going to smash you!"

Sonic and Tails were both sweating,

"Okay, Tails. You were right. She's pretty bad." Sonic said.

"I told you so!" Tails replied.

Mobius, Freedom HQ…

Scourge just woke up from his nap and went into the computer room to check the time. Apparently, it's been an hour since he sent the Suppression Squad on their

mission. He checks through the hole that was created yesterday to see if they were close by, but finds no one.

He became absolutely livid,

"What's takin' those idiots so long?! Stealin' some tech shouldn't take a damn hour!"

He then hears running in the distance and sees the Suppression Squad being chased by the Freedom Fighters.

Scourge grins,

"Finally!"

All members of the Suppression Squad jump through the hole one by one.

"So what did you manage to snag?" Scourge asked.

Fiona frowned,

"Nothing."

Scourge gets in Fiona's face and growls,

"Care to say that again?!"

Amy jumps through the hole and hits Scourge on the head with her hammer,

"She said she didn't steal anything, you psycho!"

Alicia pulls out her newly repaired electric whip and looks at Boomer, Patch, and Miles,

"Come on, you three! It's time to show our king what we really think of him!"

Moebius, Castle Acorn…

Sonic and Tails jump back to avoid Rosy's hammer swing.

"What's your deal?! We don't want Scourge to ourselves! We came here so you could help us stop him!" Sonic argued.

Rosy swings at Sonic again,

"I don't care! Scourgey's a Sonic! You're a Sonic! I just want to smash Sonics!"

The blue hedgehog jumps up,

"Why me, though?! He's the Evil-Sonic! I'm the good one! The loveable one!"

Tails slices Rosy's hammer head with a tail swipe,

"She's not listening to us, Sonic! I think we should find the globe posts and get out of here!"

Rosy looked sad,

"Awww, you broke my hammer."

Her psychotic smile comes back and she makes another hammer appear,

"It's a good thing I have a bajillion more! EEE-HEE-HEE!"

Tails pouts,

"Now that's just not fair..."

Rosy tries to swing at Tails but Buns shoots riot foam at Rosy's legs,

"Don't worry lil' fella, ah'll protect ya."

Sonic frowns at the rabbit,

"What took you so long to act?"

Buns shrugs,

"Sorry. Ah kinda zoned out."

Sonic crosses his arms, sarcastically mumbling,

"Uh-huh… sure."

Rosy looks down at the riot foam and cringes,

"Ewww, this stuff is icky! Time to smash!"

The psychotic girl smashes the foam with her hammer.

"Y'see! This is why ah wanted real weapons!" Buns shouted.

Tails slices Rosy's hammer again,

"Hey! Stop that!" Rosy screeched.

"Sonic! Go find the globe posts! Me and Buns will keep Rosy busy!" the fox ordered.

Sonic looks at Tails with concern,

"You sure, T2?"

Rosy spawns another hammer and swings at Tails.

Tails dodges to the side and looks back at Sonic,

"Yes! I've got this! Just go!"

The Blue Blur nods and leaves reluctantly,

'I gotta remember that Tails isn't a kid anymore. He can handle himself...' he thought.

After searching for a short amount of time, he finds a small lab with the globe posts activated.

The hedgehog grinned,

"Aha, there they are! And they're still active too!"

Sonic analyzes them more closely,

"I guess I can take a moment to see what's happening back at the HQ."

Mobius, Freedom HQ's computer lab…

Sonic steps through the portal,

"Home, sweet home. Feels great to be back."

Nicole spots Sonic from her monitor and smiles cheekily,

"Sonic! Thank goodness you're back!"

Sonic returns the smile,

"You betcha! Has anything happened since I was gone?"

The room shakes violently, startling the hedgehog.

"Fiona and the Suppression Squad have rebelled against Scourge. They've made a truce with Sally so they can drive him back to Moebius." Nicole explained.

The room shakes once more, causing Sonic to frown,

"And they've already started to rumble. I better get in there and lend them a hand. Keep the portal open while I deal with Scourge, Nicole."

Sonic runs to the door that leads to the hallway. He peaks his head out and gasps. The Freedom Fighters were bruised and on the ground, trying to get back up.

Fiona was frozen in fear, unable to fight Scourge. And the Suppression Squad was trying to dog-pile the green hedgehog, but he uses a tornado attack to blow them

all away.

"F%^&IN' TRAITORS!" Scourge cursed.

The green hedgehog elbows Alicia in the chest,

"I conquered a planet! An entire f$%^in' planet!"

He follows up with a spin kick, hitting Miles and Boomer,

"I fought Sonic AND Shadow to a stand still! And YOU jokers think you can take me out?!"

Scourge punches Patch in the face,

"You filthy back stabbers could've served the baddest king ever! But now, I'm gonna end you!"

Fiona finally gets the courage to attack but Scourge grabs her by the neck and starts to choke her,

"That includes you, Fi! I can't believe that you'd double cross me too! I thought you liked the idea of conquering the planet! You were gonna be my queen for f^&%s

sake!"

Sonic violently spin dashes Scourge in the face, knocking him into to the wall.

"Anyone with half a brain wouldn't wanna serve for a king as deranged as you!"

Scourge jumps back to his feet with a grin and immediately grapples with his double,

"I was wonderin' when you'd show, ya wimp. I was startin' to get bored of softening my knuckles on your team. 'Specially your girlfriend's face."

Sonic growls loudly.

Moebius, in the Castle Acorn Lab…

Tails and Buns retreat into the lab with Rosy giving chase.

"Get back here, you squishies! I still want to turn you into mush!" Rosy yelled.

Tails had a frustrated scowl,

"This is hopeless! Every time we get rid of her hammer, she just spawns another one. And it's so hard to land a hit on her because of how slippery she is."

Buns was annoyed as well,

"Where in tarnation did that blue moron go?! My non-lethal weapons are doin' diddly squat and we could really use his help!"

Tails spots the globe posts in the corner of his eyes and points at them,

"He probably went through there to see what's happening at home!"

"Then get in there and tell 'im to hurry up! Ah'll handle lil' miss creepy!" Buns yelled.

Tails runs to portal and peaks his head through,

"Sonic! We need you back over here! Please, hurry up!"

Sonic and Scourge were still grappling but they get distracted by the yelling and look towards the entrance of the lab.

Boomer and Miles get up and grin mischievously,

"Quick, Boomer! Now's our chance! Execute the back-up plan!" Miles ordered.

Boomer blasts the two hedgehogs with his sonic cannons, sending them flying into lab. Then Miles kicks them through the portal, knocking them (as well as Tails) back

to Moebius.

"Bon voyage, hedgehogs!" he yelled.

Sally and the Freedom Fighters rush towards Boomer who is typing on one of the computer panels.

"What are you doing, Boomer?!" Sally asked.

"Stop!" Amy ordered.

Boomer laughs,

"No thanks. I'm shutting all the posts down manually. Scourge is Sonic's problem now!"

The star posts deactivate and the Freedom Fighters glare at Miles and Boomer.

Fiona was furious,

"That wasn't part of the plan, Miles!"

Miles smirks,

"You're the one who said that you wanted to escape from Scourge. I simply granted that wish. There's no need to be upset."

Moebius, Castle Acorn Lab…

Tails with a concerned look, helps Sonic up from the ground,

"Are you alright, big brother?"

Sonic smiles softly at Tails,

"Just peachy, lil bro. How are you holding up?"

Before Tails can answer, they both turn their attention to Scourge.

He was on the ground with a livid grimace,

"I'm gonna kill 'em… once I get my hands on those traitors… they're gonna be beggin' for mercy…"

Sonic and Tails frown,

"We're not letting you harm anyone else, Green. I think you've hurt enough people. " Sonic corrected.

All three of them then hear loud coughing,

"Guys…*cough*... look out! I couldn't stop her!" Buns yelled.

Her armor was destroyed, leaving her completely exposed.

Sonic, Tails, and Scourge find themselves staring at Rosy the Rascal.

Rosy's psychotic smile grew wide,

"Scourgey! I'm so happy you're back! I've been saving an extra-special smashing for you!"

Scourge became distraught,

"How… I thought I got rid of you…"

"As long as you exist, I'll never disappear! EEE-HEE-HEE!" Rosy replied.
