Fatal Flaws "Demitri needs to stop trying to take over Moubiuos." Kristy stated as she flopped on the couch. Kristy was your normal 15 year old female fox. She has light brown hair and emerald green eyes that shine like diamonds. Kristy lives in under-ground Mobius that is under Mobotropolis that is now called Robotropolis. Oh, I forgot to mention her full name. It is Kristy Jessi Grant. Jessi isn't shortened from Jessica. Her light brownish hair was secure in a semi-tight ponytail. Her usual out fit was a simple red sleeveless blouse and blue jeans with black shoes. Her parents raised her in the Great Forest. She lived there until age 7. Her parents are unknown to this very day. The young couple and their daughter were captured outside the great forest by Juliain Ivo Robotnik. They were brought to a jail cell which the young couple was separated from their beautiful young 7 year old daughter. Her parents were to be roboticized first then a few other people. You're probably wondering how Kristy escaped. Well, it was the 2nd day in the dark damp jail cell. Night time had fallen and a silver moon beam strutted through the rusty jail bars. Kristy was huddled in the corner listening to the drip of the water that was falling from the ceiling. Kristy wept and wept thinking of her home and family. Thinking of the green trees, of the crystal clear lake. Thinking of how she would jump rope out side on a clear sunny day, or how she was the tag champion. But all that was gone. Out of her reach. Forever. A mist of the past. Out of the blue, she heard foot steps. She would tremble at the sound of foot steps. Waiting for them to take her. It was defiantly Robotnik. The squish of his feet in the muddy water. He looked into her jail cell. His eyes were glowing infer red. Luckily she was huddled in a dark corner. "All right," he said sternly, "throw her in here." Robotnik opened the bars to Kristy's cell and through a girl in the cell. Well, she was a 6 year old white short- haired Persian. She had black hair that was naturally wavy and in a ponitail also. Her eyes were hazel nut brown. "Are you to be robotozied too?" She asked with those big solemn eyes. You could tell she had been crying. "Yeah, I'm scared." Kristy said calmly. Kristy tried not to cry. "Me too." She said, "What's your name?" "Kristy. What's yours?" "Kelly." she sighed. All of a sudden, they heard foot steps. Not Robotnick's foot steps, but soft foot steps. Like those of a child. Kelly and Kristy listened to their conversation. "Uncle Chuck," said a small boy, "I have to go to the bathroom!" "Not now Sonic," said a manly voice, "We have to get as many prisoners out as fast as we can!" They came to Kristy's and Kelly's cell. " OK. Let's get these two young ladies out of these….. whatevers." The man was a blue hedgehog with a pure white mustache. The boy was also a blue hedgehog. The old man unlocked the mechanical lock and took Kelly, who was crying and laughing at the same time. The boy took Kristy's hand. "There's no time to waste children! Let's go before……." Too late. The alarm set off with a loud ring. "RUN!!!" They ran as fast as the could. The boy was running at super sonic speed with Kristy and Kelly and uncle chuck hanging on behind him like a train. They ran all the way to the great forest. · Kristy lives with Kelly now in the present. Kelly and Kristy left knothole at age ten. Who's Demitri you ask? Well, she's an evil echidna that's trying to take over the planet moubious. She has a secret service on the floating island. "Kristy," Kelly screamed at the top of her lungs from the bathroom, "I'm going to Knothole to visit Uncle Chuck. Ya wanna come?!" "We haven't seen Uncle Chuck in five years ya fool!" Kristy screamed back. "Well let's go!" Kelly said in her normal voice as she strolled into the den. "No!" Kristy said sternly. "But Why????" Complained Kelly. "What if we get picked up on radar by Demitiri. What if we get captured by Robotnik. What if….." "Shut up! OK! You made your point!" Kelly yelled. "Gaw! Don't get mad!" Kristy said. "Well, I just want to see Sonic." "You still have a crush on him don't you!" Kristy screamed directly at her in a sarcastic mood. "Do not!" "Do right!" "Unh uh!" They were interrupted by the horrifying roar of the telephone. "Hello," Kristy said while still laughing. Then Kristy turned to Kelly, "It's Sonic!" "GIMME GIMME GIMME!" Kelly shouted thrashing for the phone. Then she tripped on the rug and slipped on her butt. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Kristy was laughing so hard she crumpled to the floor with the receiver in her left hand and holding her abs in her right. "I'm kidding it's only Kat!" Kat was one of Kristy's best friends. "Hello!?", Kristy said still giggling from the hilarious episode that was just a second ago. "Yeah? OK. Cool! C-ya!" That's all Kristy said to Kat. "What did Kat want?", Kelly asked still on the floor in excessive pain. "She's comin' over to visit us on Tuesday!" Kristy said springing up and down excitedly. "Why does she Have to come!?", Kelly and Kat never ever got along. Why? You ask!? Here we go! · ******************************************************************************** Kelly said to Kat, "Sonic and I are going to the Mobius World Arcade!" "But Sonic said he was taking me to the Emerald Green Park! We were going to have a wonderful picnic!", Kat said in raging disappointment. "He asked me first!" Kelly screamed. "Nnooooooooo, he asked me first!" Kat punctuated. "Did not!" "Do right!" "Hey guys!!", Kristy called from afar, "Sonic and I….." "He asked me first!" Kelly screamed without letting Kristy call the shots. "No, he asked MEEEEEEEEEE!" Kat said while making a clenching rock hard fist at Kelly's pathetic face. "Did not!" "DO right!" "GUYS!!" Kristy cried at the tippy top of her lungs, "Sonic and I are going to get some cookies. Would you like to come?" "Not with her!" Kelly wined. "Well, I'm going to go. Tah-tah deary!" Kat said in an British/snobbish voice while sticking her nose to the white Cirrius clouds. "Well um bye Kelly." Kristy said while walking with Kat down the steep hill. ************************************************************************************** "I'm not wanting to see that snob!" Kelly screamed while remembering the dilemma like yesterday. "Just because you got into a fight with your enemy and your lover boy….." "SHUT UP! PLEASE!" Kelly screamed while goose stepping into her room. Kristy sighed. Then she laid her head on the soft silk pillow, and drifted into a deep sleep. ***************************************************************************** "Knock knock knockin', knock knock knockin' , knockin' on the back of your door. Oh baby I'm KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKIN'!" Kristy woke up from Kelly singing in the shower. Knock -knock. That was the door. Kristy dismounted the couch and rushed for the door. She looked through the peep hole. It was Kat; her Walkman wa blasted playing "Supermodel" and she was dancing. Kristy opened the wooden door. "KAT!" "KRISTY!" Kat exclaimed while outstretching her slender arms. "Extravagant den!" Kat was this expert at adjectives. She plans to teach English when she gets a diploma. "Is that Kelly screaming in the back ground?" Kat questioned as she tossed her luggage on the black leather sofa. "She's singing not screaming." Kristy said. Even though Kat was her best friend, she stood up for Kelly. After all, Kelly knows where Kristy lives. "l'm just bantering with the little girl!" Kat goes on about hating Kelly. She'll never learn. "Give it a break! She's just a year younger than us!" Kristy asserted. "Don't crack any sensless jokes around Kelly, please!?" "Yes mother!" Kat said sarcasticly. "Shut up!" Kristy screamed. "So, where's my domain?" Kat was walking around the house in awe. "Down the hall last room to the left can't miss it." Kristy yelled while falling into the soft sofa. While Kat was half past the bathroom, Kelly popped out drying her dark hair with a towel. They exchanged dirty looks. Then, Kat proceeded to her room in dead silence. Kelly walked in the den while Kristy was hypnotized by the movie "Clueless". Kelly decided to go out to the front porch. And collect her inner thoughts. Kat ,on the other hand, was placing up her extravigant room. "All this pink needs to go! Ew! It's so 2 years ago!" Kat was throwing curtains all over the place. Kat despised light colors. She got liquid dye out of her suit case. She's always prepared to face anything. She got a bucket out from under the sink. She fixed the dye and dipped in the curtains. Her favorite color is black, of course. Kat was a tiger looking cat with blond hair. She flopped on her bed and dumped out her small suitcase. She wasn't ever that organized. Kat filed through all of her things. "Why can't I find my Revolon Hair Brush!" She dumped all the rest of the items on the floor. Then a picture in a heart frame fell face down on the white sheets. Kat hesitated. Kat placed her thin fingers around the frame. And picked the picture up. It was a newspaper picture of sonic. Her so called "Prize Possession." She set it by the lamp ****************************************************************************** Kat helped Kristy with lunch. They were having clam chowder. Kat's favorite dish. Kelly despised it. Kelly was out shopping. She'd fix herself a P.B. sandwich when she got home. Kristy decided not to mention anything about Kelly's dress. She rather not get into a flare with Kat. "Why can't Kelly help us instead of go shopping?" Kat had burst aloud. "She always goes to the Mall with her group of friends." Kristy was used to Kelly being gone on Wednesdays. "She goes shopping for the two of us." Kristy liked that so she could tape a soap and watch another and tell Kelly about it all. "Oh shoot! I forgot! I need to go to Jenny's house and drop off "Clueless!" Sorry got to go!" Kristy let go of the onions as they rolled into the sink. The door ended with a thump. "Oh that's OK Kristy." Kat said to herself, "I'll just need to borrow some "Bug be Gone"…" ****************************************************************************** Kelly swept the knife with a chunk of peanut butter back and forth on a slice of white bread. Then added a spoon full of raspberry jelly. It was her favorite flavor of jelly. She slapped the other piece of bread and devoured the sandwich in 5 gulps. It tasted funny. Like it wasn't regular peanut butter. Oh well. She swiped a glass of milk lifted it to her lips. All of a sudden, she got a sharp pain in her stomach. It was like twice a dozen needles making an attack. She dropped the glass of milk, and then it shattered when it crashed onto the hard tile floor. "EEEEEEEE!!!!" She screamed in pain. ****************************************************************************** "Ooohhhhhh… where am I?" Kelly groaned as she woke up to a room that was pure white and smelled like Band-Aids? What! "You're in the hospital Kelly." It sounded like Kristy, then Kristy and Kat came into focus. "But I hate hospitals! They…" Kelly went into a coughing fit and couldn't finish her sentence. A doctor came into the hospital room, "Apparently this young lady has swallowed some insecticide and it infected her appendix." "Speakit el ingie!" Kat joked. "Shhh!" Kristy had burst, "And what does that mean?" "She'll under go surgery." The doctor said calmly. "We need to pay?" Kat questioned. "No. You have life insurance." The doctor sketched on his clip-board and silently waddled away. "Why did you swallow "Bug be Gone?"" Kristy asked towards Kelly. "I didn't! It's something inside the peanut… peanut…" Kelly didn't finish. She was gasping for air. "Kat…" Kat wasn't there. Kat must of put insecticide inside the peanut butter while I was gone! This does it! I'm having a long talk with Kat about this! If she doesn't stop, I'll make her leave! But Kristy didn't have a clue where Kat went. For she went to the surface where Robotropolis was. ****************************************************************************** "Why can't I stop treating Kelly like this?" Kat asked herself while kicking a rusted aluminum rod. Kat hesitated when she heard two swatbots talking. She listened quietly. "Hey X-478390, why did the chicken cross the bridge!?" The first swatbot said in a mechanical voice. "I don't compute P-928385!" The second chimed in. "To get to the other side!" X-478390 cried. "Hey, did you hear something X-478390?" "Is it an intruder?" "Turn on your radar." Kat turned and ran as fast as her slender legs could carry her. She tripped over an electric wire and fell to her hands and knees with her face in the muck. "There she is! Get her!" cried a swatbot. "Affirmative!" Said another. "Robotnick, we found a female prisoner!" Said the swatbot into his wrist. "Good! Bring her in!" The radio blasted. "Affirmative!" ****************************************************************************** "Where's Kat?" Kelly choked out when she got out of operation room. "I've been looking for her every where! She's not around!" Kristy shouted. "Sign these release papers ma'm." A kind nurse said to Kelly. "Then can I go?" "Yes you can go." Kelly quickly scribbled across the page. Then Kelly hopped out of the bed. "Let's go!" "What if Kat went to the surface?" Kristy wondered. "Well, you know Kat, she just might of." Kelly said while fiddling through here purse. "Let's go investigate!" Kristy exclaimed jumping up and down. "Why don't we leave that to the professionals. Like the CIA." Kelly was never that adventurous. "Come on! We have the equipment! We'll make a great team!" Kristy egged on. "OK. Where do you keep the stuff." ****************************************************************************** "Ahh!" Robotnick sighed as he paced back and forth eyeing Kat while she was being held by a SWATBot, "You'll make a great robot!" "Not over your big bloated-as-a-blimp-butt! No one can see over your pointed….." "Silencio! U-829371, take her to prison dorm 9-839266!" Robotnick waddled away as she was dragged to her doom. ****************************************************************************** Meanwhile, in the ventilation system, Kristy and Kelly were spying about. "Why is it when I'm in a tight situation, I have to go to the bathroom!?" Kelly said aloud. "Shush! We need to go to prison dorm 9-839266!" Kristy said while hooking up a spy camera. Kelly lifted her head and it sounded like a big thud. "OW!" Kelly screamed in pain. "Shut up!" Kristy whispered, "Follow me!" Kristy broke open a vent that led to the sewer. "EW! If you think….." Kelly didn't finish as Kristy plunged in the murky water. "Oh why do I even bother!" ****************************************************************************** "In you go!" The swatbot snickered. Kat landed with a thud. Kat ran and grabbed the rusted jail bars and screamed, "I'll get my revenge! Just… AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Something grabbed her left ankle. "Excuse me? Why bother yelling?" It was a ground squirrel with reddish hair and turquoise boots and vest. She had sky blue eyes too. "Look missy, I don't know what you're going to process, but I'm getting out!" Kat turned to the wall to see any air cracks. "May I introduce my self? My name is Sally Alisha Acorn. I'm on a mission and may I introduce my spy communicator!" She pulled out a little tube looking thing. "And who are you associated with?" Kat was highly suspicious of this Sally girl. "Sonic the Hedgehog and…" "Get me out of this dump with you! PLEASE?!" Kat was on her knees begging to go. "Sure, would you mind if you introduce yourself?" ****************************************************************************** Meanwhile, Kristy and Kelly went into a comport with a bunch of gadgets. "Wow!" Kelly whispered in amazement. "SShhh! Duck down!" Kristy ordered. A swatbot came in through a sliding door. "Take the cargo to floating island! There will be no more messages!" Robotnick's voice boomed over the radio. While the swatbot wasn't looking, Kristy grabbed an iron rod and hit him over the head and opened the door. "Umm….. Kelly? How do you….." Kristy didn't finish. Kelly was flying the escape port like a pro. "Let's go to floating island. Hey, we always wanted a vacation!" ****************************************************************************** "Sonic….. SONIC!?" Sally said into the spy gizmo. "Yeah Sal? Wadda ya want?" Sonic sounded tired. He must have been sleeping. "Get over her FAST!" Sally sounded anxouis to get out. Sonic yawned "Fast is my middle name! What prison cell are you located at?" "9-839266!" "K!" ****************************************************************************** "Perfect three point landing Kelly!" Kristy said as they landed lopsided in a damp forest. "No one's perfect!" Kelly said while shutting the air craft off. "Now how are we going to get out of this….. thing?" Kristy was looking for a way out. "We could yell for help?" Kelly said "You dumb nut! Who's going to….." "Swatbot J-908709, come in!" That was the radio blaring with Robotnick's voice loud and clear. "Quick Kristy! Say something!" Kelly screamed in a silent whisper. "J-908709 here oh Great Blubberness!" Kristy said in a deep mechanical voice. "Take the cargo units to Demitri!" Robotnick commanded. Kelly was motioning that she had to sneeze. Kristy was shaking her head wildly for her to hold it in. But Kelly couldn't hold it for that long. "ACHOOOO!" Kelly let out a long, loud wet sneeze. "J-908709! Who's that with you!?" Robotnick screamed furiously. "Umm….. uh….." Kristy was searching frantically for something to bash the radio. She stepped on the Swatbot. Holy cow! His wrist was detached! "I'm sending Swatbot security to the….." Kristy blasted the radio into thousands of microscopic pieces with the swatbot's laser in the arm. "We've got to get out of here before they turn us into mind boggling slaves!" Kristy screamed. "Nice going ace! But how!?" Kelly scoffed, "We're going to get caught by somebody!" When Kelly finished her last line, Kristy swung the arm towards the wall and pulled the trigger like it was light as the air around her. BANG! After the smoke cleared, moonlight poured through the giant hole. Kelly and Kristy looked at the sky. It was full of white tinkling stars. Kristy hopped out of the big hole to the damp misty grass. Kelly hesitated, then slowly crawled out of the hole. "Get behind those tall trees and reeds! Quickly!" Kristy yelled at Kelly. They both rushed towards the tall gleaming forest. Kelly ducked and lied down behind some tall green weeds with Kristy. They both saw a figure move across the field. It was moving closer to the shuttle. Finally it came into focus. It was one of Demitri's friends. A red female echidna that wore white high heel boots with a white dress. Her hair was unlike all the other echidnas. She didn't have dreadlocks. She had it all brushed back. "Kristy? Do you know her name?" Kelly asked in a hesitant whisper. "I think it's Denisie. From what I have heard she has three friends. Denisie, Cher, and Kristal." Kristy knew more about them. She's always so overprotected. "Ew!" Kelly whispered. "What?" "Did you put lotion on your legs?" Kelly asked. "Yes. Why?" Kristy said puzzled. "Then, what slithered next to my leg?" They both heard a long slimy hiss in between them. "Sn-sn-sna-sna" Kristy stuttered. "SNAKE! RUN!" Kelly screamed at the top of her lungs. They both jumped and ran without thinking about Denisie. They scrambled to the nearest lake. While gasping for oxygen, Kristy sat down with a thud. "That was too close!" Kristy said in between breaths. "Waaayy tooo close!" Kelly agreed. Just then, two hands grabbed Kelly's mouth. Two others snatched Kristy from the ground. They're heads hit something, then the world started spinning. Then everything went black. Pitch black. ****************************************************************************** When Kristy awoke, everything was blurry as if she was under the ocean. Then everything came into view. It was a wooden ceiling. The sheets on the bed felt soft and warm. Kristy sat up. Then, in amazement, Kristy saw jail bars. Neon green jail bars with Demitri standing behind them. "Ah! Welcome ladies! So glad you could drop by!" Demitri snickered sarcastically. "Why do you want us here!?" Kelly cried out from behind Kristy. "You guys know too much about "us." Demitri said. "Well that's just too tough on your part!" Kelly screamed. "Well come up to my face and say it to my face!" Demitri egged on. Then Kristy noticed a chain leading from her ankle towards a large steel ball. "Kelly NO!" Too late. Kelly got up in a rush and fell with her face buried in the ground. "HAHAHAHA!!" Demitri howled as she trotted away. "I just might as well die and get over it!" Kelly sighed as she climbed into her bed. Kristy was sitting on the ground deep in thought. All of a sudden, she had an idea. "Kelly, I have a plan!" Kristy said in an unheard whisper. "What?!" Kelly said into the feather pillow. Kristy took a deep breath, "The bars that guard the jail are laser like. Therefore, the laser will penetrate the steel ball off our legs and we can walk!" "Then how will we get out my dear Watson?!" Kelly joked. "Easy!" Kristy said, "We'll need your mirror!" "Excuse me?!" "We'll quickly slip the mirror through the laser and then it will hit the ceiling. Then it will penetrate the roof and we'll be free!" Kristy thrashed her arms like an eagle. "Well then, DO IT!" Kelly screamed. Kristy carefully pushed the steel ball into the neon green lasers. It crumbled like she thought it would. "Good! Now pass me your mirror!" Kelly threw the mirror and Kristy caught it right before it hit the laser. "Watch it!" Kristy screamed. Kristy quickly slipped the mirror within the laser. It shot towards the roof. Smoke started forming like threads dangling from the ceiling. Kelly was pushing her steel ball through the beam. The hole started to appear. "YES!," Kristy yelled while throwing the mirror in midair, "Let's go!" "OW!" Kelly screeched in agony. "What?!" "My ankle! It's sprained from when I fell a while ago!" Kelly was rubbing it without hesitation. "Here I come you can't stop me now!" Who was that singing? Was it….. could it be….. KAT! All of a sudden, Kat appeared through the hole with Sonic and Sally. "Um….. we just thought we'd drop by and chat!" Sonic cracked. "Here! Help Kelly!" Kristy screamed. Kat hopped out of the hole and carried Kelly. Kat helping Kelly?! This is a Kodak moment! "Let's go!" Sally motioned the gang to run towards a hut looking house. It looked like it was made out of straw. "Looks like the first little piggy lived here first!," Sonic teased, "I thought it was blown away!" "There's no time for nonsense Sonic!" Sally said. She knocked on the over lapping straw door. The door cracked open a little bit. Then, it opened the door half way. It was an echidna friend of Demitri's! And it was Cher! "What do you want Sally?" Cher asked in a whisper. "Our friend has a sprained ankle. Would you mind if you would take care of her for awhile?" Sally asked. "Yeah," Cher replied, "but if Demitri finds out I'm undercover….." "It WON'T happen!" Sally stated. "K." They carried Kelly to the couch and laid her down. "Come on!," Sonic said to the rest of the crowd, "We got some business to take care of!" "We?," Kristy asked, "Who's "We"?" "Kristy, baby, grab this sack and let's juice!" Sonic said while rushing out the door. ****************************************************************************** Kristy, Sonic, Sally, and Kat were behind a mount of dirt and covered with it mostly. "We set these tear gas/smoke bombs in each ventilation system. Then she'll evacuate the building, and we steal the plans!" Sonic said while rummaging through the sack. "Un problemo amigo," Kristy whispered, "we're going to be exposed to this gas too!" "No sweat Kristy!" Sonic scoffed as he pulled out a gas mask. "You're forgetting something Sonic," Sally pointed out, "these only supply oxygen for thirty minuets." Sonic put the gas mask on, "You're forgetting something, I'm the fastest thing on two feet!" Sally put her gas mask on. "Guys, the vents are small," Informed Kristy, "You'll have to crawl." "Fart knockers!," Sonic screamed, "I can do it in five minuets still!" Sonic took off for the dump. Then, he hopped into the vents. "We take the west side of the buildings." Sally said while clutched a laser rifle. Kat and Kristy followed Sally as the moon drifted over. They hid beneath some torn up card board boxes. Sally crawled through a small hole. Kristy and Kat did the same. "How much time do we need to get out of here when the bomb goes off?" Kat asked "Three minutes." Sally replied. "But…" Kat didn't finish. Sally motioned them to go separate ways with one bomb each. They all set their bombs silently in their places. Then, they all went through their hole and outside to greet Sonic. "Thought you'd never get here!" Sonic laughed. "Come on!" Sally said as she ran to check out Demitri through the window. "The smoke is starting! Get to the vent!" They all rushed to the hole they just came out of. They all got into the vent, and smashed an opening screen. Sonic hopped out and went to the computer and typed in "D-Day plans." The file started a search. Apparently, Demitri had been on the computer. That's why he didn't have to type in a password. He got into the plan files and get the disk, but it took along time. "Sonic," Kristy cried, "my oxygen is low!" "Hold up for just a sec!," Sonic got the disk in a hustle, "Let's juice!" But Sonic type something and set it for self distruct. Then they all ran out of the hole and ducked for cover. BOOM! The building was in flames that reached for the sky. They grabbed on to Sonic like a train and he ran to some clearing. They all turned around to watch the fire works uprising from the building. Someone tapped Sonic on the shoulder. It was the guardian of the Floating Island, Knuckles. "What are you doing here, Knuckles?" Sonic asked. "Guarding Floating Island." Knuckles replied. "Then go do your little duty thing!" Sonic spit out. "Then, why are you here?" "Because we got the D-Day plans and we're going to save everybody's little butt out of the warpath of Demitri!" Sonic scoffed. "You dumb nut!," Knuckles screamed, "All it is is just a bunch of stuff off a cargo unit! My sister, Cher, told me!" "We went through all that CRAP for a CARGO LIST!?" Kat exclaimed. Knuckles went on, "It was a bunch of lasers, bombs, and roboticizers from Robotnick. He didn't want his special list seen by you, Sonic. So he sent it to Demitri, which on Floating Island has the materials he needs. Then Demitri would send the Swatbots to retrieve the stuff. When it would be transported here." "Look," Sally interrupted, "Nicole has a map off the disk!" Nicole was Sally's hand held computer. "The cargo is being transported to the barriers of the Forbidden Zone!" "Knuckles, do you provide transportation to below?" Sonic asked. "Yeah, there's some Swatbot vehicles in the back of Cher's house." Knuckles motioned them to come to the back of the thin straw house. As they strolled to the straw house, the ground began to shake. "Oh no. Here we go….." Sonic gritted in between his teeth like he knew there was trouble. The ground began to open, and a vehicle emerged from the dark under ground. It was silver with a chrome drill at the top. The door slid open with a swoosh, and out came an Australian looking skunk with a green handkerchief joined end to end around his neck. "OH! GEFFORY ST. JOHN!" Sally screeched while she ran towards him. "Hello my luv." They both hugged each other. Kristy paid more attention towards Sonic. He was really angry. Kristy decided to say something to Sonic. "I'm gonna go to Cher's to check up on Kelly, k?" Sonic didn't reply. Kristy was better off going on herself. "Where do you think you're going?" Knuckles questioned. "To Cher's house! Gotta problem?" Kristy said. "Yes….." "Well then," Kristy said, "solve it!" "You can't go out there all alone. There is the possible chance that Demitri would be lurking around the corner." Knuckles informed. "Well, that's a chance I'll have to take then won't I?" Kristy scoffed as she marched to toward the house which was actually two feet away. Knuckles still followed. Can't he get a life and live it? Kristy thought. Kristy opened the door, not knowing how suspicious Cher really is. "WHO'S THERE?!" Cher questioned as she nearly dashed out of the kitchen. "Don't have a heifer! It's just me, Kristy, Kelly's best friend!" Kristy shouted. "Oh, hey big bro.!" Cher said as she gave Knuckles a small hug. Cher had all of her dread locks in a ponytail except one. She had a white skirt and a white tank. She had black high heeled boots with a cuff. And she had two yellow stripes on her left arm. Kristy wondered what they meant. "Kelly can walk now." Cher said, interrupting Kristy's thoughts. "Oh great!", Kristy exclaimed, "Where is she?" "Here I am!", Kelly jumped from behind the cream color couch, "Let's go!" "But how?" Cher asked with a puzzled remark. "With what?" "You know," Knuckles insisted, "the crafts out back." "You NINCOMPOOP! Demitri took them awhile ago! They were sent to Robotnick in exchange for a trip to Downunda!" Cher has this way of getting news across until the next day or so. "Well why couldn't she just take the things and go herself?" Kelly asked. Cher took a deep breath, "Those were really old and needed refueling. But she needed a chauffeur and a hover craft that was brand new." "Why does she need to go to Downunda?" Knuckles questioned. "I'm not that sure myself. Robotnick should be here any….." Cher was interrupted when Geoffrey St. John smashed through the door. He moaned and got up on his feet while rubbing his left arm. Sonic rushed in and punched him right in the stomach with a right cross. Geoffrey got Sonic in a head lock when Sally ran in. "STOP THIS IMMATURITY!" Sally screamed. They both got up and gave each other horrible looks. Looks that could kill. "Anyway," Geoffrey said, "you shouldn't get into messes with adults like me, Sonic!" He had an Australian accent when he talked. Sonic screamed, "Are you naturally this stupid or do you practice!?" "You filthy….." "Yo mama….." "SHUT UP!" Sally yelled. "Did you here that?" Kelly asked. "It sounded like….. like….." "An AIRPLANE!" Sally shouted. "Antoine has saved the day!" Everyone ran out the door to see Antoine De Colette. He's a French fox with no tail. Everyone, including Cher and Knuckles, hopped on the plane. "W'ere to?" Antoine asked. "Downunda! Hurry!" ****************************************************************************** "We're here!" Kat exclaimed as she walked out on the island. The island is kind of like Australia on earth. It had crystal clear lakes and water falls. And it had the shiniest grass and greenest trees Kristy couldn't even imagine. "Well this place doesn't look like the population rate is high!" Sonic said. "Be ca'ful what ya wish for!" An Australian accent yelled out from above. Kristy could see her from the back ground. She was a light gray fox with rounded ears that were double pierced. Her eyes were a misty bluish gray color. Her outfit came down from her neck, and ended at her mid thighs. It was a light violet purple with a dark black belt. She had black bands around her wrists followed by two gold strips on her left arm. What did they mean? Kristy wondered. Her hair was long, and was white, gray, and violet. She had black ankle boots too. The scary part was she was threatening Sonic with a knife. Cher pushed Sonic aside, "Liz, we're searching for Demitri and Denisie and Kristal. Do ya know where they are?" Liz paused in deep thought, "I can't remember correctly. Did ya check the crater? That's where ya grandfather um….. what's his name? Oh! Athair is at y'know." "Well….. I don't like telling people that I'm related to her. But she just might go there. You wanna come with us?" Cher asked. Whoa, Kristy thought, she's a blood relative to Demitri. I wonder if she's a spy? Kristy decided it wasn't anything to worry about. Sonic shouted, "Guys…..er….. everybody, let's split into groups. We'll have one group look at the crater and one group look on the island itself." Sonic, St. John, Tails, Antoine, Sally, and Kat went to look over the island. That left Kristy, Kelly, Liz, Knuckles, and Cher to search the crater. The crater was a place where Floating Island used to be. The echidna nation put chaos emeralds in the chamber on Floating Island. They did that in order to move from a comet that was coming down on the city. "Keep down low!" Liz whispered. Kristy heard faint voices echoing in the crater. "Demitri's down there!" Cher said. Cher pulled out a knife that was attached to her ankle boot. Liz took her knife out also. "Anyone got any rope?" Liz questioned. "Why?" Knuckles asked with a puzzled expression. "You idiot! To go down the'e and swipe thei' necks off!" Liz replied. "Haven't you herd of climbing?" Knuckles said while holding his two sharp knuckles in the air. "OK! Do it your way then!" Liz sighed. Knuckles hopped over the wall and climbed down softly. Cher, Liz, and Kelly slid down the wall. Kristy just jumped. Kristy fell flat on her face while the others landed perfectly on their feet. "Well, look who dropped by to play!" A snicker cried out. It was Demitri with her dreadlocks in groups of three and they were wrapped around with another dreadlock. Kristal was there with her. Kristal had her hair in dreadlocks, but they had beads on them. Her shirt was white, with ruffles around the middle and the cuffs. She had blue jeans and high heeled boots. Denisie was there also. "We're big kids you crack! And we don't play!" Kelly remarked. "Are you a traitor Cher?" Demitri said ignoring Kelly. "Yeah, she is!" Yelled Sonic. He and the gang found Kristy's group. "Is that a threat?" Demitri screamed. "Yeah! All of us could take ya on!" Sonic shouted. "Denisie….." Demitri said in a low voice. Denisie pulled out a whistle and put her lips to it. Then she blew, but no sound was made. "Whatever! It didn't even make a sound! You probably got it from some cheap low down flea market!" Tails joked. But after he said that, wing dingoes came from a distance. They were robotizized dogs with wings. They were very vicious. Swarms of winged dogs came from every direction. It was hopeless for the freedom fighters. Until, a howl came from the distance. And the wing dingoes retreated. A real wing dingo appeared with a funky lookin' jacket. She didn't have an accent when she spoke. "Wadda ya lookin' at!?" She said. "Haven't ya ever seen a winged dingo before?" "Yeah," Sonic replied, "But I thought they were all roboticezed." "Well, my name is Alpha. I'm the last of the Winged Dingoes. I fled to Timber Land. I'm sure you herd of it." Timber Land is like Canada on Earth. "But, what are you doing some million miles away from home?" Kelly asked. "I'm on vacation. Why else would I be here?" Alpha scoffed. Alpha looked around 17, or maybe older. But their little chat was put to a halt when they noticed another group of their type. There was a koala, a wombat, a wallaby, and a platypus. "Who are you?" Geoffrey St. John asked the group. "We'e the Downunda Freedom Fighters." The koala replied. "I'm Barby, that's Stu, the wombat." "Hey," Kristy said, "I thought I saw a wallaby and a platypus." Barby ignored Kristy and talked to Tails, like she knew him or something. Weird Kristy thought. "Hey!" Kelly shouted, "Where did Demitri go!?" "Oh man! We might as well give up!" Kat said while burying her face in her hands "Excuse me? We're freedom fighters! I don't think we need to think about given' up yet!" Sally lectured. But Kat had a point, face it, Kristy thought, how can they fight someone that slips through their fingers all the time. How could they defeat Robotnick and save Mobious from the warpath of Demitri? How did Kristy get into this mess herself? Too many questions to answer, and so little time. "Well are we gonna get busy and defeat Demitri? Or are we gonna sit here and look like moronic idiots?" Alpha remarked. Everyone paused, then Sonic put his hand out. Then Sally put hers on top of his hand. Then Knuckles did the same. Soon, everyone put their hand in the middle of the circle. "For the fall of Demitri!" Sonic yelled. "For the fall of Demitri!" Everyone repeated. ****************************************************************************** "Guys, here's the game plan!" They were all seated around a table down in Knothole. Sally was planning the attack. "Tails, you stay here and signal on the radio." "But why can't I do anything fun Aunt Sally!?" Tails whined. "Three words, DO OR DIE!" Sally said. Tails gulped and slumped in his chair. "Sonic, St. John, and I will be in sector A. That's the closest sector towards Robotnick's lair. Liz, Alpha, and Barby will be in the vents of sector A, in case we need back up. Kristy, Kelly, and Kat will emerge from underground Mobious. That's after we give the signal. Antoine, Bunnie, and Stu will be on the ground floor of sector A. They will get rid of the Swatbots. Cher and Knuckles, you take the second floor. Let's get the equipment and destroy Demitri and Robotnick!" Sally was finished. Everyone left the tiny hut, and took their positions in the dark dreary devastating night. ****************************************************************************** "Sonic, do you got the smoke bombs?" Sally asked in a whisper as they crept up the long stair way. "Does Cyclops have one eye? Of course I do!" Sonic said. ****************************************************************************** "Gaw! These sure are stuffy!" Liz remarked as her team crawled through the vents. "No duh Sherlock! They're vents! All of the air goes through here!" Alpha said. "Guys, don't start a fight!" Barby croaked. She had an Australian accent when she spoke. She had a brown sash on and red boots with red gloves. She was quiet most of the time. ****************************************************************************** Kristy, Kat, and Kelly were waiting in the entrance of Underground Mobious and the bottom basement of Robotropolis. They were dressed in a black turtle neck and black leggings with black shoes. They needed that to blend in with the dark. They also had gray hoods that had capes, to blend in the floor. They also had laser guns, but they were hand held. A clank came from the stairs. Kristy, Kelly, and Kat froze and ducked behind an old junk pile. There were two Swatbots. One was scanning the area. "Three life forms around the sector cellar." The first Swatbot said. "That's right you bucket of bolts!" Kat jumped up from the pile and shot the Swatbot while Kelly shot the other one. The Swatbots fell down with sparks of electricity flying from their wire intestines. "This calls for celebration music!" Kat yelled while pulling out her Walkman and it's speakers. She plugged it in and soon Kristy, Kelly, and Kat were dancing to "Shake Some Action" by Cracker. ****************************************************************************** "Zut alores!" Antoine said as he shot a Swatbot in the head. "Don't talk French y'all! Y'all need to keep the Swatbots away from the A team!" Bunnie screamed above all the racket and chaos that was going on at the moment. "We can't hold off any longer!" Stu screamed. "Y'all do ya own thang! Ah'm a gonna kick some metallic butt!" ****************************************************************************** "Knuckles, ya see anything?" Cher asked in a hesitant whisper. "No lil' sis." "I told you not to call me that!" Cher complained. "Get used to it!" Knuckles said. They both paused when the herd the radio signal. "Knux, Cher….. come in!" It was Sonic on the radio, giving the signal to clear to the third floor. "Yeah, I'm gonna be there on third floor with Cher in just a bit." Knuckles spoke into the walketalky. Cher and Knuckles sped up the stairs and encountering some Swatbots. But they were prepared as usual. ****************************************************************************** "I'm telling you! This way! This is the way to go!" Sonic was reading the map while they were stuck deciding which door to go to, the right or the left. "You stupid idiot! It's the left!" Geoffrey screamed in a whisper. "Yo mama….." "Shut up!" Sally said. "The right!" "The left!" "Right!" "Left!" "Yo mama….." "You filthy….." "SHUT UP!" Sally screamed. "Sonic you're reading the map upside down! It's the left!" Sally snatched the map out of Sonic's hands and took a turn to the left door. She cracked the door open, and saw Demitri and Robotnick. She flashed Sonic a hand signal to send Barby, Liz, and Alpha. Sonic signaled them on the radio. "Liz, ya there?" "No duh, is the'e a moon? Of cou'se I'm he'e!" Liz replied. All of Liz's crew came down where Sonic was. Then, Cher and Knuckles came through a door and shut it quickly behind them. "Swatbots are coming!" Cher rasped. The right door opened and out came Bunnie's team. "Let's make are move now!" Sally yelled. "Onward!" St. John cried as they knocked down the left door. "Look who stopped by just in time to see my latest invention!" Robotnick snickered. "This is it Lard Butt! You're goin' down this time!" Sonic shouted. Liz jumped Demitri. But, if you know Demitri by now, she ducked before Liz even got in a 11 inch radius of her. Liz landed with a thud. Cher ran, then skidded in front of Kristal. "Hi Kristal! Miss me?" Then Cher punched Kristal in the stomach and tripped her. Kristal wasn't that good of a fighter herself. Denisie, on the other hand, attacked Alpha. But Denisie was going to pay hard for that. Denisie did a round house kick and hit Alpha in the face. Blood down from Alpha's lip. Alpha went up in the air, flapping her wings wildly. Then, sky rocketed towards Denisie with her fists clenched. She hit Denisie, and knocked Denisie out. While this was going on Sonic, Sally, and the others were fighting Swatbots. Robotnick got out a gun, but not just any gun. This was a portal Roboticizer. He aimed it at Liz. "NO! Run LIZ!" Cher yelled. But Liz was almost too late. Her arm got caught in the aiming range. And Liz's left arm was turned into a metallic horror. Liz wiggled her fingers, they squeaked when she moved them. She touched the arm, but it was cold and hard. Tears started dripping from her eyes. She wasn't filled with only sadness, but with anger. She balled her metallic fist and slammed it into a wall. To everyone's surprise, the wall left a hole where Liz hit. Demitri got a very wacky idea then. She took the gun from Robotnick and aimed it at her. Then, Demitri pulled the trigger without hesitating. Demitri turned from a living creature, into a silver robot in her original form. "HAHAHA! Now you freedom fighters, take your best shot!" Demitri yelled. Her dreadlocks grew long, and evolved into gigantic octopus arms. One of them caught Sonic. "You've gotta be kidin' me!" Sonic turned into a sonic spin and slashed the arm off. But when Sonic got to his feet, the arm grew back. "HELP!" Barby squealed. Demitri had all of them cornered. "Everyone, you'll never see day light again!" Demitri cackled. "That comment should be directed towards you!" A voice came from afar. Then a shower of water came pouring down on them. "NO!" Demitri screamed in agony as steam uplifting from her rusting prone body. The water would rust Demitri, and would freeze her. "Who did that?" Cher questioned. "Us! Kat, Kelly, and I!" Kristy yelled as they all emerged from the ground. Everyone thanked them. "Excuse me? You're forgetting someone that still can harm your pathetic souls!" Robotnick screamed above the commotion. "Ah, you're so fat you couldn't even jump to a conclusion!" Sonic mocked. Everyone started cracking up. "You're going to pay for that mistake!" Robotnick snickered as he pulled out a laser gun. But, Sonic ran around in circles, confusing Robotnick and making him dizzy. Sonic ended up behind him. "Peek-a-boo!" Then Sonic booted Robotnick in the butt. That sent Robotnick bouncing towards the control panels. Unfortunately, Robotnick accidentally hit the self-distruct button. "Everyone! CLEAR OUT!!!" Sonic yelled. Everyone ran out the door they entered from. They ran with all their might. Huffing and puffing. Pulling all their strength. Then, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!! The ground shook, buildings did the domino effect, and fireworks flickered and twinkled in the black sky. ****************************************************************************** "Boy oh boy…" Kristy said as she stretched out on the sofa. "It's been a loooooong day!" "You can say that again!" Kat uttered as she poured some lemonaid into a glass. "But y'know somethin'," Kristy stated. "What?" Kat asked as she ate a double-decker sandwich. "I don't think we got rid of buttnick." "WHAT!?" Kat screamed. "Gut feeling Kat. I'm just not…sure…" Deep in the depths of Robotropolis there is only dead silence. But a trash heap covered by dark damp shadows appeared to move. A fat silver metallic hand appeared, and the deadly whisper followed, "Hedgehog…you have won the battle…but yet not the war…" Then, it was cold silence. Dead silence.
