Foreword:
8-10-99 E.D.E.(Earth Date Equivilant)
12:00 Noon
Foreword:
Travis managed to deroboticize Sally, but the spell he cast didn't work
the way he had hoped. Travis' body couldn't take the stress caused by the
spell, so now he's delerious, can't talk, and is on life support. Robotnik
still has the tome of insidious acts...
Knothole Village, mess hall
Lunch time
"Okay! There's chilidogs, chilidogs, and more chilidogs!" said Sonic
"I should be cooking!" said Antoine "Sonic can't cook worth a..."
"Button it Ant!" Dulcy interupted "Everything you make needs special
ingredients"
Doctor Quack walks in "Things are a little bit better for Travis"
"That's great!" said Sonic
"Good..." mumbled Antoine under his breath "No more chilidogs..."
Sally walked up, on crutches "Any sign of Lightning?"
"No," said Sonic in a disheartening tone "I don't think he'll be coming
back... It's been almost two weeks."
"Without Travis and Lightning, we're right where we were before I was
captured, only worse, because I don't have my health." said Sally
"This is NOT cool!" said Sonic
"And to make things worse," said Sally "Your evil double knows where
Knothole is!"
"I don't think he'll be doing any talking for awhile." said Sonic, with
a grin.
"What do you mean?" asked Sally
"Let me put it this way... I shattered his jaw" said Sonic
"Then he'll use pen and paper" said Sally
"You're right, Sal'." said Sonic "But I still got 'em good!"
Robotropolis, Cellblock A-5
12:35pm
"Well, Lightning... or should I say TARLEX, I've got you right where I
want you!" crowed Robotnik
"I'll find a way out of here!" said Lightning
"I don't think so, I've taken measures against it!" said Robotnik "I've
taken your arms, leggs, wings, propulsion units, and weapons."
"One more thing..." said Robotnik, reaching for a box out of Lightning's
neck "You won't be needing this!"
"Not my voice gener..." muttered Lightning.
"I can't have you casting any spells here." said Robotnik "There! now I
can leave you here indeffinately, and not have to wory about you ever
again! Oh, how does my new necklace look?" Robotnik strung Lightning's
voice generator around his neck
<< I hope that speech synthesizer strangles you.>> Lightning thought to

Knothole war room
1:00pm
"We have to find a way to get that book away from Robotnik!" said Sonic
"The longer he has it, the worse off we are"
"I saw him talking to some horned monster he called 'Talkon', when
he tied me to that stone slab" said Tails "They were talking about some kind
of offering, in return for the location of Knothole."
"What kind of offering?" asked Sonic
"The monster said something about an offering of flesh and blood." said
Talis.
"That means all Robotnik has to do is sacarafice one of us, then he'll
get Knothole."
"Do you remember anything else, Tails?" asked Sally
"I think Robotnik needs the book to open his portal to the abyss"
answered Tails
"Fiona, you're the expert on Robotnik's opperations," said Sonic "What
do you know?"
"I only know about what was going on three years ago, and before."
answered Fiona "Robotnik didn't know about the book back then"
"We... are... so... screwed..." said Antoine, as he shook and chewed his
nails.
"We need a plan to get that book away from Robotnik, before he gets some
REAL power!" said Sonic "One of us has to go in and get it from him, but if
one of us gets cought, goodbye Knothole."
"What kind of offering did you say Robotnik needs to make, Tails?" asked
Fiona.
"An offering of flesh and blood." answered Tails
"That's it!" exclaimed Fiona "I can go!"
"Are you sure?" asked Sally "Robotnik will have you dismantled in a
heartbeat"
"I'm the perfect choice." said Fiona "I'm expendable."
"Don't say that," said Sally "You're a person too"
"Well, what I'm saying is, He can't sacarafice me to get Knothole."
"But he can access your memory." said Sally
"I don't know how to get from Robotropolis to Knothole." said Fiona
I've only been to and from Knothole through the teleport circle. All you've
got to do is blindfold my on the way there."
"Good idea," said Sonic "But how do we get you there?"
"You could use the hovership Lightning and I escaped in!" said Sally
"What does the book look like?" asked Fiona
"It has a black leather cover, dark iron corners, and a red pentagram on
it's front" answered Sally
"What's written in it?" asked Fiona
"I don't know. Magic stuff I guess." said Sally "We're not supposed to
look inside, it could hurt us, or make us evil."
"Well, let's get the book before Robotnik gets to use it anymore" said
Sonic
"We don't know hwere Robotnik keeps it." said Sally
"I think I saw it when we rescued Tails" said Fiona
"Where?!?" asked Sally
"On some kind of stand, in the room we saved Tails from." answere Fiona
"The best time to attack would be at night," said Sally "That's when
Robotnik sleeps. our only disadvantage is darkness"
"Wrong." said Fiona "I can see in total darkness."
"I forgot you're an automation." said Sally "Okay everyone, I'll get my
exoskeleton on, get to the hovership, and bring it here. Rotor, you get
Fiona some weapons. Antoine! Get Fiona a backpack. Nicole, show Fiona all
updated schematics and layouts of Robotropolis."
"YES SALLY." answered Nicole (Sally's pocket computer)
Robotropolis
1:45pm
"I've recieved a dark divination, You need to move the tome to another
location." said Talkon
"Why?, you must tell me!" asked Robotnik
"I don't need to tell you anything!" said Talkon "I am YOUR superior!
However, in this situation I will."
"Why?" asked Robotnik
"The freedom fighters are sending a commando to steal the tome." said
Talkon "This presents two options to get knothole, can you identify them?"
"Capture the commando for sacarifice, or leave a false tome with a
tracking device." said Robotnik
"Which would be the best to plan for?" asked Talkon
"Both, in case the commando is impure." answered Robotnik
"There may yet be hope for you." said Talkon
Knothole
8:45pm
Fiona, Sally, and Rotor enter the hovership
"Tails realy cares about you, Fiona." said Sally
"I know, but he should find someone a little more... living." said Fiona
"To him you are real." said Sally
"But what when he grows up, I'll still be young... or what if he wants
children, what then?" said Fiona
"You do have a point." said Sally "But there may be a deroboticizer
built some day"
"That type of technology won't be available for decades, by then, he'll
be well into adulthood. He even looks older than he did on the island three
years ago."
"I hate to interrupt, but take this before I forget..." said Rotor, as
he handed Fiona a wrist communicator "This will allow us to communicate. It
also tells time and temp!"
"What's this red button do?" asked Fiona
"If you get cought, hit it... We'll contact Knothole, and try to rescue
you." said Rotor
Robotropolis
10:03pm
Fiona is getting ready to begin her mission
"You know the plan, Fiona. Go in, get the tome, and get out!" Said
Sally "And remember, don't open the book!"
"I'll be back shortly, don't leave without me." said Fiona, as she left
the ship.
"I guess we wait..." said Sally
Portal chamber
10:24pm
"This has been too easy, there's the tome!" Fiona Said into her wrist
communicator.
"HALT-FREEDOM-FIGHTER-YOU-ARE-UNDER-ARREST" A SWATBot said, grabbing
Fiona's arm. Fiona ripped the SWATBot's arm off, and used it as a weapon.
Robotnik walked into the room, acompanied by four combots. Fiona hit the
red button on her
"So, we meet again, automation." said Robotnik. Fiona spat into
Robotnik's face.
"That is no way for a robot to treat her master." said Robotnik.
"You are NOT my master!" said Fiona
"I'll enjoy tearing you limb from limb!" said Robotnik
Just then, the portal opened, and Talkon appeared on the other side.
"What do you want?" asked Robotnik
"I've got a better idea!" said Talkon "Use your deroboticizer on her,
then sacarafice her!"
"You're both insane!" said Fiona "Why don't you sacarafice a few tons of
Robotnik's blubber?"
Two combots grabbed her left arm, and two grabbed her right.
"Bring her to cellblock A-5" said Robotnik, as he pressed a switch on
Fiona's lower jaw."
"I can't move!" said Fiona as the combots carried her away.
Hovership dropoff site
10:29pm
A storm began...
"Fiona! Are you there?" asked Sally, using the comunicator.
"I'm sory, Fiona is not here to answer your call, so please leave a
messge... and get bent!" said Robotnik
"Robotnik!" said Sally "You obease slob!"
"Not very princess-like, princess" said Robotnik "I see you had my toy.
I don't like when people steal my property."
"She's not yours!" said Sally
"I'd love to stay and chat, but I have bigger fish to fry" said Robotnik
"Rotor, we need to save her." said Sally
"I'll contact Uncle Chuck." said Rotor.
"I think I'd be the best one to tell Tails." said Sally
Cellblock A-5
10:46pm
"Oh Tarlex!" said Robotnik "I've got you some company!"
Robotnik opened a cell door across from Lightning's cell, and carelessly
threw Fiona's limp body into it, slammed the door, and left the cellblock.
"I see they got you, too" said Fiona. Lightning didn't answer
<>
[[Can you hear me?]] asked Lightning, using his communications circuits.
[[Yes, I can]] answered Fiona.
[[I am in no immediate danger.]] said Lightning [[What are you doing
here?]]
[[I came to get Robotnik's evil book.]] answered Fiona
[[It's nice to have someone to talk to,]] said Lightning [[ I just wish
it were under different conditions]]
[[What happened to the teleport circle?]] asked Lightning.
[[Antoine broke it.]] answered Fiona.
[[I see.]] said Lightning
Cellblock A-5
11:32pm
Robotnik walked in, opened the door to Fiona's cell, and picked her up
by her neck.
"Looks like you get to be a real girl..." said Robotnik "For about ten
minutes!"
Robotnik laughed as he carried her out the door.
Roboticizer chamber
11:45pm
Robotnik stood Fiona up inside the cylender, then walked to the controll
pannel. A bright pink light filled the cylendar, then was gone.
"Report!" said Robotnik
"DEROBOTICIZATION ZERO PERCENT COMPLETE, DEROBOTICIZATION EFFECT WILL BE
DELAYED." answered the systems robot
"How long?" asked Robotnik
"IT WILL TAKE OVER FOURTY EIGHT HOURS." answered the systems robot
"What's the longest it could take?" asked Robotnik
"FOUR MONTHS" answered the systems robot
"Too long!" said Robotnik "Place her Back into cellblock A-5, I'll deal
with her later.
Cellblock A-5
12:00 Midnight 8-11-99 E.D.E.
Robotnik threw Fiona back into her cell with rage, and left.
"I'll leave you in here, you piece of junk!" said Robotnik, as he left
the cellblock
[[I felt something crack]] said Fiona, using her comline
[[At least you're in one piece]] said Lightning
[[I need to find a way out of here]] said Fiona
Robotnik's portal room
12:07am
"I've got an idea, Robotnik." said Talkon "If you could deroboticize
Geoffery, I could follow him to Knothole" said Talkon
"I'll do that now." said Robotnik.
Robotnik looked to Snivleey "I need the skunk brought to the roboticizer
chamber, A.S.A.P.!!!
Roboticizer Chamber
12:16am
"I hate doing this! It hasn't even been an hour since last time" said
Robotnik
Geoffery StJohn was placed into the cylender. Robotnik pressed the
deroboticizer button, the cylender filled with pink light. Geoffery was
back to normal. Before he knew what was going on, two robots grabbed his
arms
"I'd like to ask you a favor, before I let you go..." said Robotnik
"Whatever it is, I'm not interested!" answered Geoffery
Talkon snuck into Geoffery's hat.
"Then I'll have to place you into a prision cell, untill you change your
mind." said Robotnik "Take him to Cellblock E-9"
The security robot took Geoffery to cellblock E-9
"Um, Sir, cellblock E-9 is the lowest security cellblok, mainly used for
storage" said Snivley "He'll get out in no time"
"That's the plan." said Robotnik "I want him to escape."
"Why do you want him to escape?" asked Snivley
"I'll tell you when you need to know." answered Robotnik
<> Snivley thought to himself <>
Cellblock A-5
3:02am
Uncle Chuck snuck in, through a loose floor pannel
"Fiona, I got the message that you were captured." said uncle Chuck
"Lightning is here, too" said Fiona
"I can't get him out yet, the hole is too small." said Uncle Chuck
"Robotnik plans to leave him here, anyway."
"Couldn't we just take his head with us, and build a new body?" asked
Fiona
"Not enough time, it would take over four hours, and if we cut the wrong
wire, his memory would be errased. If it were errased, he may become a ghost
again, or die." said Uncle Chuck "I don't want to run the risk."
Uncle Chuck let Fiona out of the cell, reactivated her body, and snuck
out through the pannel, then recovered it.
Fiona bobed back up, and said "Lightning, we'll come back for you when
we can."
Lightning nodded.
Cellblock E-9
3:06am
"Robotnik must have a screw loose" mumbled Geoffery "This is a single
barrel lock. he may as well have used chewing gum to lock it."
Geoffery reached into his boot, pulled out a lock pick, opened the door,
walked out, and made for the main gate.
Hovership dropoff site
3:45am
"It's hard to see in all this rain!" said Sally
"There she is!" said Rotor "And she got the book!"
Fiona ran up to the ship, holding the book over her head, in an attempt
to stay dry "Uncle Chuck gave me this on our way out"
"Let's get out of here!" said Sally "This place makes me sick."
"I hate water!" said Fiona
Robotnik's control room
3:46am
"Is the hoverbike in place, Snivley?" asked Robotnik
"Yes, Sir." answered Snivley
"Good." said Robotnik
Outer Robotropolis
3:50am
<> Geoffery thought to himself <>
Geoffery got onto the hoverbike.
"The closest freedom fighter establishment is Knothole... Sally lives
there." said Geoffery "I'll have to pay her a visit"
Great forrest
4:45am
Geoffery was struck by lightning, and knocked off his hover bike.
Talkon was dispersed, and reformed in Robotropolis.
Luckily, Geoffery was not killed
Knothole Village
5:51am
Everyone ran up to the hovership as it landed.
"Did you get the tome?" asked Sonic
"Sure did!" answered Fiona
"May I see the book?" asked Travis
"You're awake!" exclaimed Sally
"Apparently, the spell metal to flesh causes the person who cast it to
become unconcious for a couple of weeks."
"Here." Sally said, as she handed Travis the book
"This isn't a tome of insidious acts!" said Travis
"What do you mean?" asked Sally
"I would have sensed it." answered Travis "I'm willing to bet..."
Travis opened the book.
"NO!" yelled Sally "Don't look at it!"
Travis looked at the book. On every page was written 'sucker'
"We've been gypped!" said Sally
a little black card fell out of the book. Rotor picked it up.
"A tracking device!" said Rotor, as he disconnected it's battery.
"We also know where Lightning is being held !" said Fiona "We would have
brought him with us, but he was too big to fit through the hole, and we
didn't have time to remove his memory core."
"The thing I'd like to know is, how did Robotnik know to place a fake
tome?" said Fiona
"Lightning mentioned a demon named Talkon, maybe Talkon gets
divinations like Lightning does." said Travis
"I saw Talkon, on the other side of the portal!" said Tails, he had two
black horns on his head, red scales, sharp teeth, glowing orange eyes,
and..."
"And you better chill!" said Sonic "We don't want to give Amy night-
mares."
Robotropolis, Portal Room
6:00am
"Looks like YOU'RE the one who blew it this time" said Robotnik
"I still don't understand, there were tall trees everywhere," said
Talkon "And we were not even touching the ground! How could I have gotten
hit by lightning?!?"
"Bad luck." said Robotnik
"Wind mage!" said Talkon "Tarlex is a wind mage!"
"What's a wind Mage?" asked Robotnik
"A wind mage is a wizard who specializes in wind magic." answered Talkon
"But... I dismantled him, took away his voice synthecizer..." said
Robotnik
"All he has to do is meditate," said Talkon "and he'll be able to cast
any spell he wants, untill his mana runs out."
"How long will that take?" asked Robotnik
"I'm not sure," said Talkon "It depends on how much spellcasting he
does. I don't know how he's managed to have as much mana as he does now.
considering the fact that he has a robot body, he shouldn't be able to
sleep. No sleep, no mana."
"The only thing I didn't do is de-activate him." said Robotnik "I'll do that
right now."
"You'd best not." said Talkon "He may leave that body, and find a better
one."
"You're saying I did something right?" asked Robotnik
"Yes, I am." said Talkon "But don't let it go to your big fat head."
"I'm going to bed, if you don't need anything else." said Robotnik
"Dream of large women." said Talkon
"Stupid imp..." Robot mumbled as he left the portal chamber
"I heard that!" yelled Talkon
Knothole Mess Hall
6:00am
The room was filled, everyone was there.
"I've been cooking for three hours," said Travis "so there should be
enough for everyone."
After the meal, Sonic stayed to help clean up
Rotor's workshop
9:00am
Rotor is giving Fiona her routine tune up
"I can't explain it, Fiona" said Rotor "There's some sort of fluxuation
in the molecular structure in the metal of your limbs."
"In english?" asked Bunnie
"The carbon content in Fiona's alloys has trippled." said Rotor
"That doesn't help." said Bunnie
"The metals that her arms and legs are made of are transmuting." said
Rotor
Bunnie gave Rotor a strange look
"The carbon content in her limbs has trippled" said Rotor "Her limbs are
changing from one substance to another."
<>
Rotor thought to himself.
"What exactly happened in that chamber?" asked Rotor
"I told you, a pink fog surrounded me." said Fiona "And Robotnik was
ticked off because something didn't work."
"I have a few theories, but nothing conclusive." said Rotor "Other than
that, you're in excelent condition. I'll see you here next week, okay?"
"Sure." said Fiona, in a worried tone, as she walked out the door
Bunnie looked to Rotor, and said "Ah' know that look... What's up?"
"I'm not certain, but if I didn't know better, it looks like advanced
roboticization, a state which only lasts a fraction of a second. And only
occures within a roboticizer."
"But she's been a robot her whole life." said Bunnie
"I'm going to have to schedual another appointment with her tomorow."
said Rotor
Tails' Hut
9:25am
"I don't understand it, But I know there's something wrong with my body,
there's no other explanation." said Fiona "Rotor said I'm fine, but I think
he's hiding something from me."
"If Rotor says you're okay, then you must be" said Tails
<> Tails thought to himself.
"Well, if you say I'm safe, I must be." said Fiona
"Did you hear that?" asked Fiona
"Yes, there's something going on outside!"
Tails and Fiona stepped out to see what was going on...
Geoffery was standing in the center of Knothole.
"What happened to you?" asked Sally "I thought you were Roboticized!"
"I was, but Robotnik deroboticized me, and asked me for a favor." said
Geoffery "Well, I basically told him to get bent, and fought my way out.
I was chased by swatbots, and I had to fight one to get it's hoverbike.
They chased me for a couple miles, then one of 'em almost hit me with a
static disruptor. I ditched 'em, then ran here."
Everyone listening to Geoffery's story was impressed, except for Sonic.
Geoffery gave Sally a hard kiss
"I know that story can't be true!" said Sonic
"Ahhhh... If it isn't the old spine-swine!" said Geoffery
"I ought to clean your clock out!" groweled Sonic
"I'd like to see you try!" said Geoffery
"Stop arguing!" said Sally
"Back away, this wont take long!" said Geoffery
"I want you BOTH to stop arguing" said Sally, as she grabbed Geoffery's
arm. Geoffery yanked his arm away from Sally, accidentaly knocking her over.
"That's IT!!!" said Sonic "I'm gonna KILL you!"
Sonic jumped at Geoffery's throat. Sonic and Geoffery were tearing away
at eachother, and rolling around like a couple of immature school children.
Sally got back up. "STOP FIGHTING!!!"
Travis heard the commotion, and ran out to see what was going on.
"Someone break them up!!!" screamed Sally. Travis grabbed Sonic, and
Fiona grabbed Geoffery
"These guys need some sedatives!" yelled Travis
"Let me go!" said Geoffery
"Sorry, I can't let you go, untill you cool down." said Fiona
"Take your hands off of me, Travis" said Sonic "Or I'll saw your arm
off!"
"Not likely!" said Travis "You chill, then I let you go, deal?"
"He knocked Sal' over!" yelled Sonic
"This is getting on my nerves!" said Travis, as he looked Geoffery in
the eyes "An Con Zu!"
Geoffery droped to the ground. Sonic broke free of Travis' grasp, and
attacked Geoffery. Travis looked to Sonic "An Con Zu!"
Now Sonic and Geoffery were lying on the ground, asleep.
"You'll have to teach me how to do that, Travis." said Sally "How long
will they be out?"
"A good six hours." said Travis
Knothole Infirmery, Sonic's room
4:00pm
"Oh man, I just had the mondo weirdest dream, it was about a flying
watermellon..." said Sonic
"I see you're awake, Sonic." said Sally
"I'm glad to see that you're alright." said Sonic
"Why wouldn't I be?" asked Sally
"Geoffery shoved you, and you fell over" said Sonic
"No, what happened was, I was pulling on his arm, and I lost grip, same
thing that hapens in tug-a-war when the other person lets go." said Sally
"But I saw him shove you." said Sonic
"You were angry. People don't see straight when they're angry." said
Sally
"I'm being strapped down!" said Sonic
"I'll let you up," said Sally "But you have to agree not to leave the
room, deal?"
"Okay, Sal'" said Sonic
Sally unlatched the restraints on Sonic's bed
"I'll be back in a few minutes" said Sally, as she left the room.
Knothole Infirmery, Geoffery's room
4:09pm
Sally walks into Geoffery's room
"How are you doing?" asked Sally
"I'd be much better if you'd let me get up off this bed, luv." said
Geoffery
"First, promise not to get into another fight with Sonic." said Sally
"You were there, you saw it!" said Geoffery "He threw the first punch!"
"When I fell over, he thought you pushed me." said Sally "You'd have
done the same thing."
"I guess you're right." said Geoffery "Can you let me up now?"
"Yes, I will." said Sally, as she undid the belts on Geoffery's bed, and
left the room.
Knothole Infirmery, Lounge
4:17pm
Geoffery, Sonic, Sally, and Fiona met up in the lounge.
Geoffery looked at Fiona, and said "You're strong for a girl of your
size"
"Because she's a..." said Sonic. Fiona covered Sonic's mouth
"She's a what?" asked Geoffery
"I lift weights, and do meditative exercizes." said Fiona
"You'll have to show me some time." said Geoffery, looking into Fiona's
eyes.
"Uh... yhea..." said Fiona
Sonic and Sally walked out.
Rotor walked in.
"Um, Fiona, I need to set an appointment with you tomorow." said Rotor
"I need to run some tests at the workshop"
"Uhm, what time?" asked Fiona
"Three sound good?" asked Rotor
"Yes." said Fiona
Rotor left the room.
"What's he talking about?"
"We're working on a robotics project." said Fiona
"Are you doing anything tonight?" asked Geoffery
"I do have to straighten my hut, but other than that, no." answered
Fiona "Why?"
"Would you like to take a walk tonight?" asked Geoffery
"You mean a date?" asked Fiona
"Kinda'" answered Geoffery
"Well, I belon... I mean, I'm sorta' going steady with Tails." said
Fiona
"Well, it's not like he owns you." said Geoffery
<> Fiona thought to herself <>
"We could go for a walk." said Fiona
<> Fiona thought to herself <>
Travis walked in. Geoffery looks at Travis. Travis looks to Geoffery
"There's TWO things I can't stand!" said Geoffery "Robots, and
Overlanders! they make my stomach turn!"
Sally returns.
"He's here to assasinate the princess!" yelled Geoffery
"Where?" asked Travis
"I think he's talking about you, Travis." said Rotor
"Here we go again..." said Travis "Give him the story, Sally."
"Travis is the one who saved me from Robotropolis." said Sally
"Impossible!" said Geoffery "No overlander on Mobius would pass up a
chance to take out the sovereign!"
"You're probably right." said Sally
"What are you waiting for?!?" said Geoffery "Someone get him!"
"But Travis isn't from Mobius." said Sally
Geoffery looked to Travis "I won't attack you, but that doesn't mean
I'll like you either." said Geoffery, as he stormed out of the room
"He sure does have a chip on his shoulder." said Fiona
"A chip? I say he's got a whole bag of chips, all onions and garlic!"
said Travis
"What are you talking about?" asked Fiona
"Potato chips, I'll cook you some, sometime." answered Travis
"I don't think I'd like shoulder chips," said Fiona "No thanks."
"That's the last time I use a pun around her" said Travis
"What do you think he'll do when he finds out I'm an automation?" asked
Fiona
"I have no idea." said Travis
"He was hitting me up for a date" said Fiona
"This is not a good thing." said Travis
Knothole Messhall
6:30pm
Travis was busy cooking. Geoffery walked in, with a lit cigarete
"You know, those things'll turn your lungs black." said Travis "Not too
good for your health either"
Sally stood in the doorway, where neither Travis, nor Geoffery could see
her.
"Black like your overlander heart?" asked Geoffery
"I'd rather you didn't smoke that in here." said Travis
"And I'd rather you die." said Geoffery
Travis pinched hi lips together, but said nothing
"Scared?" asked Geoffery
"No, I just don't seek a conflict with you." said Travis
"You're just a coward... an overlander coward!" said Geoffery
"If it's a fight you're looking for," said Travis "Then you're looking
in the wrong place."
"Overlanders are all evil," said Geoffery "And I intend to expose you."
"And YOU are a biggot, and I intend to ignore you." said Travis
"Tell me, how long do you plan to stay here?" asked Geoffery
"That depends," said Travis "If I remaine welcome, a long time. If not,
I'll leave this world as soon as my gate key is fixed."
"What world will you go to?" asked Geoffery
"It is called Earth." answered Travis
"What a retarded name for a planet!" said Geoffery, doubled over
laughing "I guess that makes you a flower!"
"There are many good things in life." said Travis "And you, sir, are
deffinitely NOT one of them."
Geoffery loaded his crossbow, just as Sally was getting ready to reveal
herself
"Zhem Vienge!" said Travis. there was a rush of air
"Since nobody's looking," said Geoffery "I won't get into trouble..."
"I wouldn't count on that!" said Sally "You are NOT to harm him! Do I
make myself clear?!?!"
"Yes." said Geoffery
Geoffery walked away, turned to Travis, and mumbled "This isn't over
between us."

Knothole Messhall
7:45pm
"I don't have to eat this overlander cooked swill!!" yelled Geoffery
"You most certainly DON'T!" said Travis "You can eat nuts, berries, and
bark for all I care" Travis removed the plate of spaghetti sitting in front
og Geoffery, and scooped it onto his own, then replaced it with an apple
Geoffery turned his nose up at the apple.
"Ahhh! So the apple's eeeeeevil, because I touched it!" said Travis "I
give up!"
Travis removed the apple from in front of Geoffery, and placed it back
in the fruitbowl.
Knothole Messhall
9:45pm
The Freedom Fighters are in a secretive meeting. Geoffery was hiding
nearby, unnoticed.
"I think a party would be an excelent idea!" said Sally "He's done alot
of good for us all!"
"What kind of party?" asked Tails
"A big bowl of punch, some lanterns, snackfood... that kind of party!"
answered Rotor. "And maybe a pizza."
"I think I could make one, if only I had a recipe." said Sonic
"I used to have one, but it disappeared ten years ago" said Sally
"Uhm, Ah' think Ah' know where it might be" said Bunnie
"Where?!?" asked Sally
Sonic, Bunnie, and Rotor walked over to a large stone, lifted it up, and
grabbed the book underneath it.
"You knew where it was all these years?" asked Sally "Was my cooking
that bad?"
"We're sorry, we just couldn't stand the concrete pancakes" said Rotor
"I was only six back then, what do you expect?" asked Sally. Rotor
handed Sally her book.
Sally opened the book, turned to the appropriate page.
"Find it, Sal'?" asked Sonic
"Sure did." said Sally, pointing in her cookbook. "All we have to do is
get these ingredients!"
"Some of these could take awhile to get," said Sonic like some of these
spices."
"I seenk ze wolf pack might have zem." said Antoine
"I haven't seen Lupe for over a year." said Sally "I wonder how she's
doing?"
"She was here less than a month ago." said Sonic "I remember her saying
nothing in this world would get you back, I guess she was wrong."
"Actualy, she was right..." said Sally "Travis isn't from this world."
"I could juice on over to the wolfpack's place, and back, in less than a
couple of hours" said Sonic
"Other than the spices, we have everything here we need." said Sally
"Uhm... What's a pizza?" asked Fiona
"They're realy good, you'll like it." answered Tails
"So everyone, party's tommorow!" said Sally "At ten!"
Knothole Vilage, Rotor's Workshop
10:45pm
Fiona walked into Rotor's workshop
"Hello Fiona, how can I help you?" asked Rotor
"I hope you aren't busy." said Fiona
"Not too busy." said Rotor "Just doing an upgrade on Geoffery's cross-
bow. So, what do you need?"
"My maintainence checkup." answered Fiona
"Your appointment isn't until three o' clock tomorow." said Rotor
"Well, I'd like it now, if you don't mind." said Fiona
"That's fine..." said Rotor "But you never ask for checkups, normaly I
have to chase you down to get you into the workshop. Is something wrong?"
"I may be an automation, but I still know facial expressions." said
Fiona "And from the look I saw on your face, I think you're hiding something
from me."
"I don't want to tell you something, then be wrong." said Rotor "But I
would like to run some tests on you."
"I guess I should take off my cover now." Fiona said, frowning
Fiona partialy removed her watertight covering. Rotor noticed Fiona's
endoskeleton was whiter than before. Rotor did various tests and
observations, such as checking Fiona's ears, and looking over her circiut
boards. Then something caught Rotor's eye. "I wonder what this silver
object is..."
"What is it?" asked Fiona, in a paniced voice "What's wrong with me?!?"
Rotor noticed the smell of ozone. Rotor reached for the silver box, and
noticed a srong static sensation. Rotor went to his tool rack, and took out
a tool with an antena, walked over to Fiona, then tried to get a reading,
but his meter's cover turned white, the same color that Fiona's endoskeleton
was. "I'll have to run some tests on this meter later."
"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" asked Fiona.
"I don't know." said Rotor. "Let's get back to work."
Rotor put on a magnification visor <> Rotor thought to himself. Rotor also saw a
round object attatched to Fiona's mater to energy converter. <> Rotor thought to himself. Rotor studied the tubes, and
noticed a pinkish liquid flowing through the clear ones. Rotor got a tiny
test cylandar, disconnected a tube, poured a small ammount of the liquid
into the cylander, then reconnected the tube. "i'll have to run some tests
on this pink stuff." said Rotor "You can close your cover now."
Just then, Geoffery walked in. "I'm here to pick up my... WHAT IN SAM
HILL IS GOIN' ON HERE?!?!?! " Geoffery's jaw dropped "I... you... ROBOT!
No wonder you're so strong! You're a heartless machine!!!"
Fiona rushed to close her cover, then ran out of the room.
Geoffery grabbed his crossbow, put it on his arm, and ran after Fiona.
"get back here, clicker!" yelled Geoffery
The Great Unknown, Wolfpack HQ
10:50pm
Sonic arives at the wolfpack's settlement. Greeting him was a stately
female wolf (anthropomorph)
"How's it goin', Loop?" asked Sonic
"I'm doing quite well." said Lupe "What are you doing out this far, may
I ask?"
"I came to get some supplies." answered Sonic
"Like?" asked Lupe
Sonic handed Lupe a piece of paper
"I think I can help you with these." said Lupe "By the way, how are
things going without the princess?"
"We got her back!" said Sonic
"I can't see how that could be." said Lupe "My vision told me that
nothing on Mobius would get her back... My visions must be wrong for once"
"Actualy, your visions were correct." said Sonic
"But you just said that you got her back." said Lupe "You're not making
any sense."
"It's a long story." said Sonic
"Why don't you tell me?" asked Lupe
Sonic told Lupe about Travis, Tarlex, and all of the things that led to
Sally's rescue.
"That's unbelievable!" said Lupe "An overlander, saving Princess Sally!"
"I didn't believe it at first, either. But it's true." said Sonic
"Let me get your supplies." said Lupe. Lupe came back with a bag "What
are you going to do with this stuff?"
"It's for an appreciation party." said Sonic "For Travis"
Lupe gave Sonic the bag "I hope your party goes well."
Sonic made off for Knothole.
Tails' hut
11:15pm
Fiona banged on Tails' door "He's after me! Lemme in, PLEASE!"
Tails walked to his door, and opened it. Fiona rushed in.
"What are you doing here this late?" said Tails
"He's after me!!!" answered Fiona
"Calm down Fio..." Said Tails "Who is after you?"
"Geoffery!" answered Fiona "And he's got his crossbow!"
Geoffery stormed into Tails' hut "There you are!" Geoffery said
as he raised his crossbow, aiming for Fiona's chest.
Tails stepped between Fiona and Geoffery.
"Get out of my way, Tails! NOW!" said Geoffery
"NO! I won't let you shoot her!" said Tails
"If you haven't already noticed, it's a robot, not a person!" said
Geoffery.
"I'm still not letting you shoot her!" shouted Tails
"Just get out of my way!" said Geoffery
Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, and Antoine heard the commotion, and went to
Tails' Hut.
"I'll give ou one more chance! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!"
"What's going on here!?!" said Sally.
"He's trying to shoot Fiona!" said Tails
"It's a robot! Can't you tell?!?" said Geoffery She didn't fool me,
I knew it the whole time."
"Then why were you hitting me up for a date?" asked Fiona. "You didn't
know I was an automation untill you saw me in the workshop!"
"We allready know she's a robot." said Sally
"Than why haven't you destroyed it!" asked Geoffery
"She helped save Tails!" answered Antoine
"I wasn't asking the peanut gallery!" said Geoffery
"She's proven herself to be reliable." said Sally
"Untill her programming kicks in!" said Geoffery
"That won't happen, I removed her servitude chip myself" said Rotor
"Okay, but when you're all roboticized, don't say I didn't warn ya'!"
said Geoffery, as he left the hut. Sally walked to Fiona "Did he hurt you?"
"No, I'm okay, I think..." Answered Fiona
Knothole Hospital.
11:52pm
"This had better be quick!" said Doctor Quack "I have a patient to see
in an hour."
"When you get a chance, could you analyze this liquid?" asked Rotor
"It looks like foggy pink lemonade. I looked at it under a microscope, but I
can't figure out what it is."
"I'll have one of my nurses take a look at it." said Doctor Quack
"Thank you." said Rotor
"I should have results to you by noon" said Doctor Quack.
"Cool!" said Rotor
Rotor and Doctor Quack heard a loud boom
Knothole meetingplace
11:59
<> Sonic
thought to himself. Sally, Rotor, Fiona, and Bunnie met up with Sonic
"What the hoo haw is goin' on here?" asked Bunnie "Li'l ol' Bunnie here
needs some beautysleep for the party tomorow."
"Did you get the stuff?" asked Sally
"Are lambs wooly, Is Robotnik fat, is Geoffery s..." said Sonic
"A simple 'yes' would suffice." said Sally
"Ah hate ta' be a partypooper, but we all need sleep for tomorow."
"What about me?" asked Fiona "I don't need sleep."
"I don't think she was reffering to you." said Sonic "Consider yourself
lucky."
Fiona was silent.
"I'm going to bed." said Rotor
"I guess I'll take guard duty" said Fiona.
Rotor's hut
4:30am 8-12-99 E.D.E
Rotor awoke to a knocking on his door.
"Come in." said Rotor
Doctor Quack walked in "I've got the results on that liquid you brought
in."
"I thought you would tell me about this at noon." said Rotor
"I would have..." said Doctor Quack "But this is urgent!"
"So, what is the stuff?" asked Rotor
"It's a highly nutrative mixture, called medracille pink, the same
mixture that is used by individuals who have been roboticized, to support
their organic parts."
"Why's that so important?" asked Rotor, half way asleep.
"This medracille pink is of higher quality than anything I've been able
to synthesize."
"Okay." said Rotor
Doctor Quack pulled out a thermus and a cup, and poured Rotor a cup of
coffee. "Here, drink this..."
Rotor drank the coffee, five minutes later...
"Now, what were you talking about?" asked Rotor
"The liquid you brought in for anylization is a highly nutritive mixture
called medracille pink. It's used to nourish people who were roboticized."
said Doctor Quack. Rotor raised an eyebrow.
"It supports organic brain tissue... It's pure nutrient, no waste, and
I've never been able to synthesize it in this level of purity. Where did
you get this stuff? I need to know!"
"You're familiar with Fiona, aren't you?" asked Rotor
"Very!" answered Doctor Quack "In the past few weeks, she's helped out
alot at the hospital. And when she wasn't busy, she'd study the anatomy
charts."
"You know she's an automation, don't you?" asked Rotor
"Yes I do, come to think of it." said Doctor Quack
"Well, she's the one I got the fluid from." said Rotor
"But she was never roboticized. How could she be producing medracille
pink?"
"I don't know." said Rotor
"Would it be possible for me to be present durring one of Fiona's
maintenence checks?" asked Doctor Quack.
"I don't know." answered Rotor "It's up to her."
"Do you know where she is?" asked Doctor Quack.
"She should be in the guard's tower." answered Rotor
Knothole, Guard's tower
4:46am
Fiona sat in the guard's tower
<> Fiona thought to herself. <>
Doctor Quack called out "Hello up there!"
"Doctor Quack!" said Fiona, cheerfuly "Come on up! The view's great!"
"Actualy, I was hoping you would come down here" said Doctor Quack
"Okay!" said Fiona, as she climbed down from the tower.
Rotor joined the two.
"I was wondering, I'd like to get a look at your inner workings, if it's
alright with you." said Doctor Quack
"Well... Okay, since you're a doctor." said Fiona
Antoine came up to Fiona "Et's my watch now. You can leave."
"Thank's Antoine." said Fiona. Fiona looked to Rotor, then to Doctor
Quack "Would now be a good time for that checkup?"
"Yes." answered Doctor Quack "There's an unreserved operating room at
the hospital, let's go."
Knothole Infirmery O.R.
5:00am
Fiona was lying on the table, with her cover (skin) open
"There's that oval shaped thing I told you about" said Rotor, pointing
at the silvery oval-shaped box. "But there's more tubes than there were
yesterday, more wires, too!"
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was semi-roboticized muscle
tissue" said Doctor Quack.
There was a flash.
"Did you see that?" asked Rotor
"Yes, I did!" said Doctor Quack
"Look!" said Rotor "There's another tube, Like the one I got medracille
pink from"
"I don't understand this." said Doctor Quack
"Could I have a word with you, in the hall?" asked Rotor
"Yes." answered Doctor Quack
The two stepped into the hall
"From what I've seen since yesterday, I think Fiona might be
progressively deroboticizing" said Rotor
"That would make sense." said Doctor Quack
"Sally knows more about the roboticization process than I do." said
Rotor "She might be able to help"
The two went back into the opperating room.
"Fiona, I'd like to ask for your permission to let Princess Sally
inspect some of the... iregularities that are going on with that silver
box." said Rotor
"I've got a better Idea" said Fiona, in a sarcastic manner "Why not
disassemble me, and telivise the whole thing?"
"I know you don't like being seen without your cover, but it's important
that we do this." said Rotor
"I'll consent to it, but you have to tell me what's going on before the
day is over!" said Fiona.
"Okay." said Doctor Quack.
There was another flash, this time a white cable-looking thing appeared.
"That looks like a nerve!" said Doctor quack, as he reached into one of
his pockets.
"Yes, that does look like a nerve!" said Rotor
Doctor Quack pulled out a small cylenderical device, and pointed it at
the newly formed cable, and said "Yes, it IS a nerve!"
A nurse walked in. "Would you like me to bring you another pot of coffee
Doctor Quack?"
"Yes, and could you get Sally down here, too?" asked Doctor Quack.
"I'll do that now." said the nurse
Fiona looked at the new nerve, and touched it "Ouch!"
"You shouldn't touch those." said Doctor Quack
"What is it?!?" asked Fiona
"It'is called a nerve" answered Doctor Quack
"Like the one on the nervous system chart?" said Fiona, eyes widening
"Yes." said Doctor Quack
"That's what you guys were hiding, I'm deroboticizing!" said Fiona
"Actualy, Fiona, I didn't tell you because, well, It may not happen."
said Rotor "I just didn't want you to get your hopes up, then have them
crushed."
"Hi Fiona." said Sally, as she entered the room. Fiona franticaly
grabbed a sheet, and covered her exposed insides "Uh... Hi Sally."
"Sally needs to see that silver box." said Rotor. Fiona frowned as she
lowered her sheet. Sally got Nicole (Her pocket computer)
"Nicole, what is this silver-colored box?." said Sally
"A COMBINATION MATTER TO ENERGY CONVERTER WITH DEROBOTICIZER" said
Nicole. "WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SCAN IT'S COMPONENTS?"
"If it won't dammage it." said Sally
"SCANING..." said Nicole "DONE."
"Nicole, how long will Fiona's deroboticization take?" asked Sally
"NINETEEN HOURS AND SEVEN MINUTES UNTILL FULL DEROBOTICIZATION." said
Nicole. Fiona's face lit up. "I don't believe it!"said Fiona "I've always
wanted this!!". There was another flash, then another.
"Fiona, you'd better put your cover back on." said Rotor. Fiona put her
covering back on.
"May I leave now?" asked Fiona
"Yes." said Doctor Quack "but take this with you" Doctor Quack handed
Fiona a small device with a string attatched to it. "Wear this around your
neck, if something goes wrong, press the little red button"
"Thank's!" said Fiona, as she ran out the door.
Knothole Messhall
7:30am
Travis was just finishing cleaning up after breakfast.
"Guess what?" asked Fiona
"You found out why Geoffery's such a jerk?" asked Travis
"No, even better!" said Fiona
"Geoffery's leaving tomorow?" asked Travis
"Even better..." said Fiona "I'm deroboticizing!"
"That's great!" said Travis
"Why are you angry at Geoffery?" asked Fiona "I must have missed it"
"You did miss it!" said Travis "He emptied his ashtray into my waffles!"
"Geoffery is NOT a nice person!" said Fiona
"I'm not going to cook any more for him!" said Travis "He can eat nuts
and berries! One of theese days, I'm gonna' knock his block off!"
"I thought I'd find you both together." said Geoffery
"Please go away." said Travis "I'm not in the mood to be messed with by
you right now."
"What a sight, the overlander, and the clicker." said Geoffery (clicker
is another word for robot)
"Go away Geoffery." said Fiona
"I have just as much right to be here as you do, probably more." said
Geoffery "But I'll go away so you two can get intimate!"
Geoffery walked away, laughing.
"That's it! I'm gonna' bust his face!" said Fiona
"Don't do it!" said Travis, but Fiona didn't listen. Fiona walked up
behind Geoffery, ant tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around, she
hit him in the jaw. Geoffery grinned "Where's all your strength now?"
<> Fiona thought to herself <>
"I'm going to teach you a lesson, you piece of trash!" said Geoffery
"You have ten seconds to run!" Fiona looked at Geoffery in fear
"Nine... eight... seven..." Geoffery counted, loading his crossbow
Fiona ran
"six... zero!" Geoffery said, as he raised his crossbow, and fired. The
arrow caught Fiona's arm. Fiona dropped to the ground, then hit the button
on her calling device. Travis looked to Geoffery, and said "Come here,
coward!" Geoffery began to load his crossbow, but Travis got to him before
he could load it. Travis picked Geoffery up by the neck, using only one
arm, and slammed him against a tree and said "Listen punk! I could very
easily snap your little neck, crush your trachea, or cut off your air and
sufficate you. Now, If you mess with me, or her, or anyone else without
provocation, I'll beat the living **** out of you! capiche?"
"y... yes..." Geoffery gasped. Travis dropped Geoffery on the ground.
Sonic and Antoine were watching, when Travis noticed them, they both
began to clap their hands.
Doctor Quack met up with Fiona, who was bleeding. After Travis cooled
down and regained his senses, he walked over to Fiona.
"She's hurt." said Doctor Quack.
Geoffery staggered to the group to see what was going on.
"Do that thing with your hands, like you did on Amy Rose." said Doctor
Quack.
"Wait a minute, robots don't bleed!" said Geoffery "How can this be?"
"Because she's not a robot." said Doctor Quack
"But I saw her in the workshop..." said Geoffery "What happened?"
"That is confidential information." said Doctor Quack. "All I can say,
is that Fiona isn't a robot." Geoffery's jaw droped. Travis placed his
hands above the gash on Fiona's arm, and began to heal it. Sally arrived
and asked "Who started this?!?"
"She did!" said Geoffery, pointing at Fiona. "She hit me first!"
Sally looked to Fiona and asked "Is this true?"
"Y... yes, it is." answered Fiona
Sally pulled Fiona aside, where nobody would hear what she said "Fiona,
I know Geoffery can be a jerk, but you can't just go around hiting people."
"He was teasing me." said Fiona
"I couldn't help but notice you two ladies talking" said Geoffery as he
walked up to Sally and Fiona "I'm sorry about the arrow thing"
"I don't wanna' talk to you, Geoffery" said Fiona
"There's just been a big misunderstanding..." said Geoffery
"You were not interested in me." said Fiona "You just wanted my body,
but when you found out I was an automation, you flipped out! HMPH!"
Fiona turned up her nose and walked away. Sally spoke to Geoffery "One
more, episode like this, and I'll have to ask you to leave, do you
understand?"
"I do, luv." answered Geoffery
"I hope so, because I'd hate to have to kick you out." said Sally
Knothole Messhall
12:21 pm
Everyone was eating. A few conversations were going on.
"Crickets?!?" exclaimed Geoffery "What kind of food is this?!? Do you
expect me to eat this?!?" All was silent. Everyone looked to Geoffery
"It's Earth skunk food." said Travis "And no, I don't expect you to eat
it, I just don't want to waste food on you, just to have you not eat it.
You wanna' war? you got one!" Geoffery dumped the plate of crickets, then
stormed out of the mess hall. <> Geoffery thought, as he sat
down. Geoffery reached into his left hip pouch, and pulled out three pocket
flasks. <>
"You shouldn't have done that, Travis" said Sally
"If I would have put food on his plate, he would not have eaten it. I'm
sick of that spiteful skunk!" said Travis "It's as if his whole mission in
life were to make me miserable!"
"He has a good side." said Sally
"Well I haven't seen it." said Travis
"Give him some time." said Sally
Knothole infirmery
12:44pm
"So how am I, doctor?" asked Fiona
"Very well." answered Doctor Quack "Tomorow, I'll have to give you a few
shots."
"Boosters and immunization shots, right?" asked Fiona
"Yes, as a matter of fact." answered Doctor Quack "You've done well at
studying the medical charts and literature. How would you like to help out
here at the infirmery?"
"I'd love to!" answered Fiona
"First, I'd like you to get me another pot of coffee." said Doctor Quack
"Okay!" said Fiona
Knothole Mess hall
7:45pm
The freedom fighters began to prepare for the party, Fiona filled up the
punchbowl with juice, and walked away. Geoffery walked up to the punchbowl,
and poured all three of his bottles of hooch into the bowl, and snuck off to
the kitchen. In the kitchen, Geoffery grabbed a bottle of tobasco sauce.
<> he thought to himself.
Sonic finished the pizzas "What are you getting, Geoffery?" sonic asked
"A drink." answered Geoffery. "Allright, just stay out of the way."
said Sonic. Geoffery left the kitchen.
Knothole, Travis' Hut
8:00pm
"Hey, Travis, Sally and the others want you in the mess hall." said
Tails.
"What time is it?" asked Travis, as he sat up. "Eight o' clock" said
Tails
"You guys forgot to wake me up!" said Travis "I'll hurry there!"
Knothole Mess Hall
8:02pm
"A party?!" said Travis "What's the occasion?"
"For you." said Sally "You've been a big help around here."
"Well... I... I don't know what to say." said Travis. On the table were
several pizzas. "They're called Pizzas" said Sally
"I know what a pizza is." said Travis "They smell good."
"Let's eat!" said Sonic.
Everyone began to eat. When travis walked away from his drink, Geoffery
dumped it out, and filled the cup with tobasco sauce, then walked away.
Travis came back to his cup, ate a slice of pizza, then chugged the tobasco
sauce. Travis noticed his mouth was burning, so he ran to the punchbowl.
When Travis got to the punchbowl, he drank the whole thing without
noticing that it was spiked. Travis got a couple green napkin, whiped off
his mouth with one, put them into his jacket pocket, then sat down at the
table where Bunnie and Sally were having a conversation.
"From the information Nicole got from that device in Fiona, We will have
a de-roboticizer in less than a year" said Sally. Travis rolled his eyes.
"Whath's all thith talk abouda' dis-rober?" asked Travis Travis
"What's wrong with you, shugga'?" asked Bunnie.
"Yo... Yu... You don't neeed uh... uh machine to disrobe." said Travis
with slurred speech.
"We were talking about a deroboticizer." said Sally "Not a disrober"
"Don't B.S. me, I know what you said!... You said a des... d...
disrober!" said Travis "If yu two er' gonna disrobe, do it now, I know you
want to!"
"Oh mah' stars!" said Bunnie "Did he just call us..."
Sally could smell th hooch on Travis' breath "He's drunk!"
Travis climbed up on the table, dropped his pants (He still had his
boxers on) And sang. "My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play
with my ding-a-ling!"
Travis looked down and saw Bunnie, took the napkin out of his pocket,
stuffed it down the front of Bunnie's halter top, and said "Here's a couple
of fifties, babe! Don't spend 'em all in one place". Bunnie was speechless.
Travis lost his ballance, and fell off of the of the table. Geoffery
laughed so hard he was crying. Bunnie looked down and saw the napkins that
Travis stuffed down her halter, and fainted.
Sally walked up to the punch bowl, and could smell the alcohol in it.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!!!!" said Sally "AND I WANT
TO KNOW NOW!!!". Everyone pointed at Geoffery, who was still laughing.
"You RUINED this party!" said Sally "I want you out of Knothole! You
have untill noon tomorow. And don't bother coming back untill you can show
some respect!" Sally was disgruntled.
Travis' hut
9:00am
Travis sat up in his bed, and was still lightheaded. Travis looked to
the floor, and saw all of his cloths lying on the floor. Travis looked to
the foot of his bed, and saw all of Bunnie's cloths hanging from the
bedknob. Travis looked to his right, and saw Bunnie. "No! No!" screamed
Travis. Bunnie woke up "I had alot of fun last night, how about you?"
"This isn't real! This isn't real! Oh man!, this isn't real! This must be a
dream!"
"Why don't you pinch yourself?" said Bunnie. Travis pinched himself,
and it hurt.
"How did this happen?!?" asked Travis. "Well, first I took off my..."
"That's not what I meant." said Travis franticly "I meant how did we
end up here?"
"Well, you stuffed two fifty dollar bills down my halter top, then I
stuffed a..."
"This can't be happening!" said Travis, as he got out of the bed, and
grabbed the blanket. He noticed Bunnies legs weren't roboticized.
Knothole infirmery
11:00am 8-13-99 E.D.E.
Travis sat up screaming, looked to his right, and saw Bunnie. "Not
again!". Bunnie gave Travis a strange look. "What ARE you talkin' about?"
"What happened last night?". "Well, we had a party, Geoffery spiked the
punchbowl, you got drunk and crammed two napkins between my, well... anyway,
you fell off of the table, then we carried you to the infirmery, now you're
awake". "I just had THE worst nightmare!" said Travis. "What about?" asked
Sonic. "Well, I was in bed, I looked to my side, and there was... was...
I'm gonna' puke!". Doctor Quack picked up the plastic bucket from next to
Travis' bed and handed the bucket to Travis. Travis vomited in the bucket.
Travis sat back up. "So what happened to Geoffery?" asked Travis.
"He has to leave Knothole." said Sally "By noon."
"I can't say I'll miss him." said Travis "Man, I've got a killer
headache!"
"Everyone needs to leave, Travis needs his rest." said Doctor Quack
Knothole infirmery
11:30am
Geoffery walked in and woke Travis up. "Uhm... Travis, I'm sorry about
the whole spiked punch bit."
Travis sat up and looked at Geoffery, and asked "Who put you up to
this?"
"Nobody." answered Geoffery "From what I saw, everyone being upset about
your party, everyone must like you very much." Geoffery frowned "Well, I
need to be out of here in half an hour. See ya' around." Geoffery put on
the backpack he was carying, and walked out the door.
"Hey! Geoffery!" Travis called out "Could I have a word with you?"
Geoffery came back and said "Yes?"
"It's big of you to apologize." said Travis "I'll talk to Sally about
giving you another chance"
"I don't think she'll go for it." said Geoffery "I'd best leave while I
can."
"I'll go up to her hut and speak with her" said Travis, as he got off of
the bed. Travis staggered to the door.
"Need some help?" asked Geoffery
"Yes." answered Travis
Sally's Hut
11:51am
There was a knocking at the door.
"Come in." said Sally. Travis opened the door, and propped himself up
against the door.
"Could I talk to you about Geoffery?" asked Travis
"What more is there to say?" asked Sally "He has to be out of here in
about five minutes."
"He apologized to me," said Travis "Did you guys put him up to it?"
"No." answered Sally "Did He ask you to come here?"
"No." said Travis "It was my idea to ask."
"Even after last night?" asked Sally
"He apologized to me." said Travis "That's alot more than I thought he
was capable of"
"I'll think about it." said Sally "Give me some time."
Robotropolis, Portal chamber
12:00Noon
"Why have you called me here?" asked Robotnik "You put me on a diet,
you treat me with disrespect, and now you wake me from my favorite dream!
What now!?!"
"I came to give you this..." said Talkon, as he handed Robotnik an
envelope
"What is it?" asked Robotnik, as he broke the seal on the envelope
"It's an invitation." said Talkon
"To?" asked Robotnik
"The iniquity festival." said Talkon
"I don't have time for parties!" said Robotnik, as he prepared to rip
the letter in half. Talkon snatched the letter.
"You fool!" Talkon snapped "Mortals are rarely invited to the iniquity
festival! This is the second largest festival in the underworld!"
"What's the largest one?" asked Robotnik
"We usualy don't talk to mortals of your dubious standing." said Talkon
"If you hear about it, it won't be from me. You might want to ask when you
get to the festival."
"How long does the festival last?" asked Robotnik
"About two weeks." answered Talkon
"What do they do there?" asked Robotnik
"Music, blood wine, a wares sale, and a barbecue like you wouldn't
believe!" answered Talkon
"A barbecue?!?" asked Robotnik
"Yes, a barbecue." said Talkon "And yes, you may go off of your diet."
"What do I use to buy things at the wares sale?" asked Robotnik
"There should be a number on your letter, when you show the letter to
the gate guard, he will give you a box, and fill it with that number of
coins. The number on your invitation is determined by the number of
iniquities you perform, hence the name of the festival."
"How do I get more coins?" asked Robotnik
"Well, you could bring something to the barbecue, preferably a young
maiden." said Talkon "A female freedom fighter would do best."
"But I was going to sacarafice the next one I captured." said Robotnik
"To get the location of Knothole!"
"Forget about that!" said Talkon "Trust me, the stuff at the wares sale
is much better!"
"Why should I trust you?!?" asked Robotnik "You never let up on me!"
"I'll only say this once..." said Talkon "I look at you, and I see
myself, the way I was, centuries ago."
"There's something else, isn't there?" asked Robotnik
"Yes, there is." said Talkon "But you must find it for yourself." Talkon
handed Robotnik's invitation back to him "You have a few days to capture one
or more Freedom fighters to bring to the iniquity festival."
"What kind of things do they have at the festival?" asked Robotnik
"Everything from unholy swords to wands that animate the dead" answered
Talkon
"Unholy swords?" asked Robotnik
"You can't use one, you're training to be a warlock." answered Talkon
"What kinds of things are there that I can use?" asked Robotnik
"Potions, wands, spellbooks, amulets, rings... all kinds of things."
"What is the opposite of a starknight?" asked Robotnik
"The opposite of a starknight is called a vicelord, and if you were to
train your mind, body, and spirit... you could become one." said Talkon
"Then I wish to train, I'll just have to miss the barbecue...." said
Robotnik
"Actualy, the barbecue is traditional..." said Talkon "Especialy for a
vicelord. If you're serious about becoming a vicelord, you should buy a
black unholy sword, a dark shield, and armor. This is a major decision, one
that should not be taken lightly."
"Anything that will allow me to defeat that miserable hedgehog!" said
Robotnik.
"In your book," said Talkon "On chapter thirty-two, is information on
becoming a vicelord. Study it. Then if you still wish to become a vicelord
of absolute darkness, I will assist you."
Robotropolis, Control center
12:30pm
"Snivley, give me a report on all of all known female freedom fighters!"
said Robotnik. Snivley began to bring up the database Robotnik requested,
but Talkon's face appeared on the main monitor.
"Robotnik, I thought you'd like to know, Aimy Rose and Bunnie Rabbot are
about two miles south of combot platoon seven fifty four. If you hurry, you
might be able to capture them both." Talkon's face disappeared from the
main monitor.
"You heard him! mobilize the combots!"
The Great Forrest
1:00pm
Bunnie and Aimy Rose were picking wildflowers.
"This is where the best flowers grow." said Bunnie
"Yhea, they smell realy pretty." said Amy
"Wait 'till..." said Bunnie, as her ear twitched "Did you hear that?"
"No." answered Amy "Look over there, see that haze?"
"That ain't no haze, shugga'! That's a cloaked Combot! Run Amy, I'll
hold them off!" said Bunnie. Amy ran, but not very fast. (With the
exception of Sonic, hedgehogs aren't very fast). One of the combots cought
up with Amy, and quickly subdued her. Bunnie took out the first four
combots with the aid of her robotic limbs, but there were too many of them.
Knothole, Sally's Hut
1:45pm
Sally and Travis were conversing about letting Geoffery stay in Knothole
"Okay, I'll give Geoffery another chance, but only because you asked for
him to stay". Travis fell to the groung, holding his head.
"What's wrong?" asked Sally "Is it the hangover?"
"No! It's Bunnie and Amy! They've been captured!" said Travis.
"How do you know?" asked Sally
"A vision!" said Travis, still holding his head in pain
"I'll contact Doctor Quack!" said Sally
Robotropolis, Cellblock A-5
2:00pm
"Ah'd kick your bloated ***, Robotnik!" said Bunnie "If these ****
combots weren't holding me back!"
"Combots, Release her!" said Robotnik
"THAT-IS-NOT-ADVISABLE-MY-LIEGE" said the combot
"DO IT!!!" yelled Robotnik. The combots released Bunnie
"VAS IN RES MYGHT!" intoned Robotnik. Bunnie took a swing at Robotnik,
with her robotic left arm, but Robotnik cought her robotic hand, and crushed
it. Bunnie went for a high kick, but Robotnik cought her robotic leg, and
ripped it off. Robotnik tore her robotic arm and her other leg off. The
torn wires began to spark.
"How?!?" Bunnie gasped
"A little thing called... MAGIC!" said Robotnik "Guards, throw her into
the cell!" Amy began to cry.
"One more thing..." said Robotnik. The combots took Bunnie's and Amy's
clothing.
"I can't allow you to have anything that would possibly allow you
to escape. By the way, I sealed that loose tile on the floor, so don't
expect to be rescued!" said Robotnik, as he left the room, taking Bunnie's
parts with him. Two combots remained in the room.
"Don't cry, Amy, we'll get out of here." said Bunnie <>
Amy tried her best to not cry "What's he going to do to us?" Amy burst
into tears.
"Ah' don't know..." said Bunnie
Amy looked to the cell adjacent to hers "L...Lightning?" said Amy "Can
you hear me?" Lightning woke up (Came out of sleep mode), looked to Amy,
and a ball of cotton candy appeared infront of her.
"Bunnie!" cried Amy "It's Lightning, he's alive!"
"Oh' ma' stars!" said Bunnie "It IS Lightnin'!"
"SILENCE!" said the combot guard. Amy and Bunnie went to sleep on the
cold metalic floor.
Robotropolis, Cellblock A-5
2:45pm
Robotnik entered the cellblock, and awoke Bunnie.
"I have something of yours..." said Robotnik. Robotnik threw bunnie's
parts to the ground, they were melted almost beyond recognition.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" screamed Bunnie. Amy woke up.
"Tell me where Knothole is, or I'll remove more parts." said Robotnik
"NEVER!" said Bunnie
"So be it..." said Robotnik. Robotnik opened Bunnie's cell, and ripped
off her right ear, Bunnie shreiked
"You leave her alone, you big fat monster!" said Amy
"You're next, little girl!" said Robotnik. Amy screached so loud that
Robotnik had to cover his ears. Robotnik opened Amy's cell door. Amy took
a loose quill from her back, and poked Robotnik's hand. Robotnik laughed
"I'll deal with you later, you soft-quilled spiineswine!" Robotnik
slammed the door on Amy's cell, and left the cellblock.
Knothole Infirmery
3:14pm
The Freedom Fighters were gathered around Travis, who was on a bed,
unconcious.
"I gave him the maximum dose of morphine, and I don't like to use the
stuff." said Doctor Quack
"You did what you could." said Sally
"I didn't think he'd drink that much punch." said Geoffery
"It's not the alcohol." said Doctor Quack. "His mind is recieving too
many sensations, and they're too much for him."
"He said that Robotnik was torturing Bunnie." said Sally "I thought he
was just messed up, but I think it might be a vision, like the ones Tarlex
has."
Antoine clenched his teeth and fists "I will kill Robotnik, I will kill
him DEAD!" The group noticed that Antoine lost his accent.
Robotropolis, Portal chamber
3:59pm
Robotnik is speaking with Talkon.
"You've done well, Robotnik." said Talkon "The female Hedgehog will earn
you a good amount at the festival!"
"I still think it was a better idea to deroboticize the bumpkin."said
Robotnik
"You don't want to tick anyone off." said Talkon "You said it yourself,
meat that was roboticized, then de-roboticized, tastes lousy. Anyway, what
you did to the rabbit should get you a few more credits."
Next...
Bunnie and Amy Rose are captured, Lightning is still captured, Travis is
having terrible headaches of unknown cause, and Sonic's evil double knows
where Knothole is,(Fortunately, he's not able to tell at the current time)
It's time for another hero(Or two!). (
