"Sorry Sonic. Right now, no news is good news." Three years have passed since Sonette made her appearance. Rumors have started to circulate that Robotnik has finally died. But Sonic doesn't believe it. Just a couple of weeks ago, A.N.T detected a disease in the village. Every single person in Knothole is being quarentined. They must not leave their cabin. Binx gave Herbie a walkie talkie so everyone could keep in touch. Sally is scared, scared that the disease will over take her once again. "A.N.T, could I have the revised Freedom Fighter's list please?" "Sure thing." $$$$$!!!!!@@@@@#####%%%%%^^^^^&&&&&*****((((())))){{{{{}}}} } >>>>><<<<<>>>><<<<>>>><<<<<>>>>><<<<< 1. SONIC 2. TAILS 3.

"Cause you aren't a Freedom Fighter." "And why not?" "Cowacart, lay off it alright? If it doesn't concern you, then shut up." "Sorry. I have to admit, I am jealous." "I'm sure you are." "Ha ha!" Cowacart went and sat on her bed and began reading a book. "Binx? Where are you my princess?" "Here my king." Binx was calming Sally down, who was too scared to do anything. She hugged her. "Hey Sally, you're shaking a lot, huh?" Sally just shook her head. She was shivering. "Sonic, she's really bad. She's gotta see a, you know." "Huh?" "Don't say it out loud, it scares her." "What?" "D-o-c-t-o-r." "A DOCTOR?" Sally tried to break free from Binx. But she couldn't. "Sonny! I told you! I had her all calmed down." "Where Tails?" Sonic looked around the room. "Tails???" He was hiding under his bed. Sonic walked over and pulled the blanket up. "Tails, don't you wanna see your girlfriend?" "Diseases scare me Sonic." "C'mon Tails! You're a grown man! 16! Get up and show your girlfriend some respect!" "You're right. I should be there for her during her time of need." "That's my boy." Tails walked to Sally and gave her a kiss. "Sally, you gotta calm down, we're protected from the disease. If you are scared, you make us scared too." Sally looked at Tails. "He doesn't understand," she thought. "He just doesn't understand." "Antuone, turn down that music!" "Herbie, it isn't music. It's my yodeling lessons." "Yodel for me then." "Yodel lay he who!" "That's all you learned?" "Hey, I just got it in the mail." "From outside?" "Yeah. It can't be carrying the disease...could it?" "I don't know. Lemmie call Sonic." Herbie picked up the walkie talkie. "HERBIE TO SONIC PICK-UP." They waited. Finally they heard Sonic's voice. "WHAT'S UP!" "ANTUONE WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO GET THIS PACKAGE FROM OUTSIDE." "IT'S NOT INFECTED IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANNA KNOW." "HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?" "I DID IT. THE DISEASE CAN ONLY BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH PEOPLE." "GOOD." "WELL, I GOTTA GO, MY DUTY AWAITS." "DUTY?" "I GOTTA GO TO THE BATHROOM." "OH, BYE." "SEE-YA." Herbie put down the walkie talkie. "Shanny, it's your turn to clean." "I always have to clean!" Shanny called from the next room. "So what did he say?" Antuone asked nervously. "Everyone going to die. The only cure is that you have to be burned at the stake." "Oh no..." "Just kidding." Antuone turned pale. "Antuone, I was just kidding." "Please...don't say that..." "What's the matter?" "My father, the king-" "WHOA! SO YOU AND SALLY ARE...BROTHER AND SISTER?" "Yeah, sorta." "Okay, finish." "My father, the king, was burned at the stake during the Witch Trials." "Whoa! They were 50 years ago." "That's where the confusing part comes in." "What are you talking about Antuone?" "I'm not as young as I look." "Just how old are you?" "52 years old." Chapter 2 "How old is Sally then?" "Oh, she was born in my mom's third marriage." "Does she know...your age?" "Yeah but she thinks I'm adopted." "Well, I'd better go and clean my room." "Don't tell a soul." "I won't Antuone. I won't." "Get a little closer Binx." Cowacart said. "Sure do." Cowacart was reading her book while next to her Sonic and Binx were whispering about stuff. They were laying on Binx's bed. "What are you guys talking about?" "Couple stuff." "Like what?" "Ha ha ha ha! Sonny!" "You two make me sick." "There's the bathroom." "Oh hog wash." Cowacart continued to read. "Binx, you are very warm this evening." Sonic said. "Stop that!" "Heh heh heh heh." "Are you being a good hedgehog?" "Yes mommy! YES!" "That's nice to know." "Sniff! Sniff!" "What do you want hun?" "A k-kiss." "Take that!" Binx kissed Sonic. Cowacart just watched. "Guys! Please! When someone else is in the room, control yourselves!" "Sorry." "Me too. Good boys deserve things like that once in a while." "Did you enjoy that Son-" Binx was interrupted when a loud knock came from the door. Cowacart jumped. "I'll get it. Sonic ain't afraid of anything." Sonic walked to the door. "Sonic! We can't open the door!" "Yeah, I forgot." "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US!" Cowacart yelled. The knock came once again. "Who's there?" No one answered. "WHO'S THERE???" They heard someone mumble on the other side. "Is this some kind of joke?" The voice replied,"Sonic! Open up! I'm protected!" "Um...number one I hope before you do that you are and number two who is this?" "Knuckles, I live here." "Why are you outside?" "I'm testing my new suit and it works so let me in!" "Well, bad news Knuckles. We aren't." "I'll make suits." "Outside." "I gotta stay outside?!" "We'll give you food, somehow." "Oh, this is great. I try to be like Rotor-" "DON'T MENTION HIS NAME!" "Sorry." "JESUS YOU GOT ME WONDERING!" "Something you don't do often." "You make me laugh." "How's Sally doing?" "She's really shaken up about this whole thing." "I feel so bad for her." "I think they're going to break up." "Who?" "Tails and Sally." "Yeah, so do I." "Hold on, the phone's ringing." Sonic walked to the phone. He picked it up and listened. "SHE RISES HIGH ABOVE THE REST ON DECEMBER TWENTY- FIFTH." "Who's this?" "LOOK FOR YOUR HUN LATELY?" Sonic looked around the room. "Binx?? Binx??" Binx was no where to be found. "Sally, where's Binx?" "Blue...blue steaks..." "HA HA HA HA HA AHA AH HA HA AHA AHA AHA AHA!" the voice on the phone screamed. Sonic hung up the phone. "BBBBBIIIIINNNNNXXXXX!" Chapter 3 A week later, the diseased left the woods. Sonic sat at his computer, still looking for Binx. Sally is better, and told Sonic that she thought it was either Sonic X or Sonette that took Binx because they were both blue. -----------------------COMPUTER INVENTORY------------------ - 1. green chaos emerald 2.

"Sonic, your eyes are bloodshot." A.N.T said. "I haven't gotten any sleep." "Hold on...a message is coming in..."

BINX ########################################################### # "I gotta go get her A.N.T." "Get some sleep first though." "No time for sleep. My girlfriend awaits." "I'm coming!" "Let's go Tails!" "Take a power ring Sonic. You might need it." "Thanks A.N.T. I'll get one for Tails too." "Here they are. Still in my backpack." Sally walked into the room. "And you too take a walkie talkie. Just in case..." "Sally, don't worry. I'll watch Tails." "Ready?" "I'm ready." "Ok." "FREEDOM FIGHTERS ARE BACK!" "Me too!" Knuckles called from the door. "TAILS THRASHER*!" "SONIC SPINDASH*!" "KNUCKLES GROUNDER*!" Sally stood at the door, and watched the three boys go into battle. "Binx, you love me right?" "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Robotnik had taken her and chained her up in the control room. Clucky was watching to see if Sonic was coming. "Binx, you shouldn't talk to him like that." Sonette said. Everyone envied Sonette, she had a perfect figure, perfect hair, perfect legs, a perfect voice, and awesome fighting skills. She was nice though, the one quality Robotnik did not like about her. But when something happened to Robotnik, Sonic X, Rotor, Clucky, or herself she changed totally. "Oh I gotta get out of here. Sonette, watch Binx for a second. I want to visit Rotor and Sonic X downstairs." "Fine Robotnik." "No no no!" "Sorry. Fine oh heavenly god on high." "That's better." Robotnik left. Binx looked over at Sonette who was sitting in Robotnik's chair. "Sonette, how can you stand being here?" "I can't Binx." "Then why don't you join the Freedom Fighters?" "My home's here." "But you're so nice." "Yeah, I know." "You look like you couldn't hurt a fly." "You should see me when I'm mad." "I want to be friends with you." "No way." "Why?" "Cause if something happens I can kill you." "At least I'll know you killed me to protect what is yours." "I, I can't Binx." "I understand." "You do?" "Yes, why wouldn't I?" "Nobody ever understands." "The place where you are now I can see why no one would." Binx could see Sonette turning red. "YOU BETTER TAKE THAT BACK." "I'm sorry it slipped." "That's better." All of the sudden, the door burst open and Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails walked in. "Let's go Binx." "No." Knuckles saw Sonette. "Whoa. Baby, I almost killed you?" "Yes. Now what do you want?" "Can we take Binx?" "Shh. Go ahead. She's loved more with you guys." "DON'T TOUCH ME!" "Binx, let's go home." "No." "Why not?" "I'm staying here." Chapter 4 "Binx, you have to come with us." Sonic said. "I like it here." "But why?" Knuckles said staring at Sonette. "I like Sonette. She understands me." "BUT BINX! I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND! I UNDERSTAND!" "Then maybe you shouldn't be." "HUH?" "Please leave." "Binx please..." "No Sonic. We're done. Now leave." Robotnik walked in with Rotor and Sonic X. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Tails walked over to the window. "We were just leaving." "THEN LEAVE!" "Binx..." Sonic stared at Binx. "LEAVE BINX HERE. YOU AIN'T TAKING' HER." Knuckles pulled Sonic over to the window. He grabbed him by the neck and whispered into his ear, "We'll get her. Don't worry about it." Tails flew out of the window and Knuckles grabbed Tail's hand. He held Sonic under his arm. Robotnik walked to the window. "I'm going down to check to see if they really left." He walked to the door where he motioned Sonic X and Rotor to follow him. "Why didn't you go? "I like it here." "You won't." "You're just so nice." "I'm the only one though. Everyone else is bad." "I want to stay." Sonette's red eyes glared at Binx. She started to move towards her. "YOU WILL LEAVE EVEN IF I HAVE TO THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW." "Shhh. Calm down. Robotnik will hear you." "I AM NOT GOING TO BE NICE TO YOU ANYMORE. YOU'VE GOT TO LEAVE." "NO!!!!!" Robotnik ran into the room with a mixture in his hand. "This mixture will give any person another self." he began. "If you take a sip of this potion you can transform into another being. Sonette, Sonic X, all you have to do is drink this and you can beat those Freedom Fighters. Including you Binx." Binx broke one of the chains and grabbed the potion. She struggled to get the other arm free. "Give that to me!" The potion slipped out of Binx's hand and flew towards the direction of the window. Robotnik stared at it as it plummeted towards the ground. "DARN IT BINX!!!!!!!!!!!" "Sonic, wake up and smell the coffee." Knuckles said as they walked away from the castle. "Yeah Sonic. Knuckles is right...for once." Sonic was about to say something when they heard a scream come from the castle. They turned around to see something coming towards them. "What the- Sonic! Look out!" Sonic jumped up in time to grab to potion. He sniffed it. "Mmmmm, smell this guys." Knuckles and Tails leaned over to smell the substance. "Smells like strawberries." Knuckles said. "Binx liked strawberries." "Sonic, let me taste that." Tails said. Tails took the bottle and took a sip of it. Nothing happened. "The directions on the bottle say to say the name of an animal." "Ok I will." "What animal will you say?" "FALCON!" Tails began the morph into a giant falcon. The others took sips of the bottle. "Sonic you go first." "LION!" "CHEETAH!" Knuckles yelled. The three animals turned around towards the castle. "ROBOTNIK! THEY DRANK THE POTION!" "NOOOOO!" "WHAT SHALL I DO?" Binx stepped out of the shadows and clenched her teeth. "Leave this one up to me." "TAILS, CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING UP THERE?" "NO SONIC. IT'S TOO FOGGY." A scream came from the ground causing the three Freedom Fighters to stop. Knuckles saw who it was. "BINX..." "You three drank the potion didn't you?" "WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? COME TO BEAT US UP AGAIN?" "Knuckles let her finish." Sonic said under his breath. "Robotnik. He has me hypmothized. I'm normal sometimes and other times I get really mad LIKE THIS!!! Give me some of the potion and it will stop this curse. And here, take this." Binx handed Sonic the purple chaos emerald. "Where did you get this? Are there any others?" Sonic said. "I only got that one. It was the easiest one to seek out." Knuckles gave her the potion."Here, drink away." Binx took a sip of the drink and smiled at the three guys. "You guys are so lucky this fell on you. If it broke I would have had that curse forever." "Well, say an animal." "WHITE TIGER!" Binx transformed and headed towards the castle were they met Antuone,Bunny, and Sally. They sipped the drink and said an animal. "LEOPARD!" Sally said. "JACK RABBIT!" Bunny said. "POLAR BEAR!" Antuone said. "Let's go!" Sonic said. "We've got to beat-" Sonic was interrupted by a rumbling sound. The SAME rumbling sound they heard three years ago. Binx froze. "Sonette...she's found out..." "Found out what?" Tails said. "She knows we took the potion. It was for her." "She's sounds mad." Knuckles said. Sonette's body rose high above the rest. "Freedom Fighters, prepare to die." Sonic leaned over and whispered to Knuckles,"Nice time for that bow and arrow, huh?" "KNUCKLES GROUNDER*!" Knuckles tried to spindash but remembered he was in his animal form. "YOU WORTHLESS FIGHTERS! GO HOME!" "SONETTE, YOU WERE SO NICE. NOW YOU'VE CHANGED." Binx said. Sonic looked around for Tails. "Tails? Where are you?" Behind them, Tail's falcon zoomed towards Sonette. "SONETTE SUPREME COMING UP!" He hit her and she groaned. "STUPID FOX, IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN THAT TO KNOCK ME DOWN!" Knuckles tied a rope around one of Bunny's feet. "Bunny, run as fast as you can." Bunny's jack rabbit ran towards Sonette and circled around her legs.Sonette jumped, and Bunny ran back to Knuckles. They were turning back into their normal selves. "GUYS! TOUCH MY HEAD. IT WILL TRANSFER YOUR POWER TO ME." Sonic yelled. They gathered around the lion and did as he told them. Sonic's lion began to grow wings. He told them to hold on. "I'M GONNA TRY TO FLY UP TO HER HEAD. SALLY, I'LL DROP YOU OFF ON HER HEAD AND YOU CLAW HER." "Sonic, I-I can't." "Sally, you have to." "She was so nice to Binx." "WELL NOW SHE WANTS TO KILL US!!!!!" Sally climbed on Sonic's back. "This better work." Sonic soared into flight the wind blowing threw his hair. We have to beat him, Sonic thought, We have to get the emeralds. Robotnik cannot stay alive forever. Sonette tried to slap them away. They looked like tiny figures to her. "Sally, get ready to jump." "JUMP?!" "Yeah. That's what I said." "You said you would drop me off." "HEY GUYS, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO ARGUE!" Knuckles said, dodging one of Sonette's blows. Sally jumped off and prepared to strike her enemy. Sonette looked up at her as she raised her claw. "Sorry Sonette, I have to do this." Sonette just stared at her tears in her eyes. "Sonette, I thought robots didn't show emotion." "I'm not a robot. Sally, I'm you mother, Queen Sonya." Chapter 5 "What is taking her so long?" Sonic said. "She and Sonette are talking." Tails said. "I wonder what about." Knuckles said. "She better hurry up before she changes her mind." Bunny said. "Antuone what's the matter?" Sally asked. "She sure does look familiar..." Antuoine wondered. "My mother died." "Hunny, when you were very little, I set out to find the Fountain Of Youth. I took your brother too." "My brother?" "Yes, I tried to keep it secret but now I cannot. You have a brother. His name is Antuone." "OH MY GOD!!!" "He's 52 years old, I keep track." "But Antuone is down there." "Well, we found the fountain, gleaming and clean just as everyone said it would be. The trick was you had to bath in it, and you would stay alive forever. Both me and your brother bathed. Soon afterwards, when you grew up a little more, I found out I could not support two children. I sold myself to Robotnik and was disfunctioned. He put me away, and you and Antuone grew up together as friends. But Antuone swore he would never tell anyone the story and never tell you that you was his sister. Like many of Robotnik's robots, I was hypmotized and sent into battle with the named 'Sonette'. So, when Robotnik needed a new plan, he put me together and powered me up. But he placed a wire in the wrong spot so I was part nice and part bad. My dear, you must find the 8 chaos emeralds to release the spell. If you fail to find all eight by the time the sky turns black in day, I will stay a robot forever. The 8 holes in my head are where they are placed." "I have one in my bag and I gave Sonic the other one. I'll get it back." Sally returned with the emerald. "Put the ones you have in. Sally, go now before Robotnik sees us." Sonette placed her hand on her head and lowered Sally to the ground. "Goodbye Mom." "Goodbye my daughter." Sonette blew her a kiss and Binx pretended to catch it. "Wow, oh wow." Sonic said. Sally had just told everyone her story. "Antuone, I never knew." Knuckles said. "Guys, could me and Sonic have a minute alone?" Binx asked. "Yeah sure." Tails said they all ran out the door. "Sonic, I wanted to know if you are still interested in still going out with me." "Yeah Binx. I couldn't live without you." "Neither could I my love." "Shall we go found the others?" "Yep." Sonic and Binx walked to the door and opened it. Everyone fell into the room. "Did you guys hear over conversation?" "Um...no Sonic. Not at all." Tails said. They all started to laugh. Binx heard a noise and stared at the door. "What was that?" She looked at the door to see a shadow run into the woods. "I didn't see anything." Knuckles said. "Just my imagination." Binx said. "THE TIME HAS COME TO RELEASE MY NEWEST INVENTION." the figure in the woods whispered. Stay tuned for Sonic the Hedgehog 8: The Search Begins!
