True Love Recaptured Well...just when we all thought that Antoine would never get a girlfriend, he gets one. ;) Actually this story is the first of several which explores the idea of Antoine and bunnie being in love. A Rabbot's Tale Here's the next part. This time we find out how Bunnie got Robotizized and we also explore a little more of Bunnie and Antoine's relationship. Princes Sondra Acorn A mysterious starnger arrives in Knothole unconcious...combined with a vision, Sally becomes determined to join her father in the Void. Sonic's got to stop her. Need I say more? The Tanak' Shi-rat Aontoine and Bunnie are getting closer, Sonic and Sally are getting closer....but now, Sondra and Tails begin to develop feelings for one another and it's up to Sonic and Sally to lay out the facts of life for them. For guidance, Sonic seeks out the Tanak' Shi-rat...and finds the unexpected. The Weakest Link Snively decides to strike aganst the freedom fighters by eliminating their weakest link. The creature that he sends out to do this knows Antoine quite well and the battle that follows is intense. Crystalline Beauty Sondra ponders the truth about her creation and, with the help of the Freedom Fighters, confronts the evils of the Void and rescues Naugus and King Acorn...but perhaps at the cost of her own life...read on! The team of Brown and Tolbert has turned out a large (and growing) collection of Sonic stories, each blending into the other with amazing complexity. Of all their stories I've read so far, this has to be my favorite. Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, Antoine, Tails and Sondra are on a serious quest; the obstacles they face and how they overcome them are a marvel. You may have to read the five(!) stories that preceeded this one to fully understand what's going on but it'll be worth it. [And a BIG round of applause to Alessandro Sanasi (aka Tyro) for giving their fanfic page a home in the wake of Bookshire's page going offline]. A Difficult Choice A romantic evening between Bunnie and Antoine get's ruined when Bunnie accidently crushes Antoine's ribs. Angry at her Robotic limbs, Bunnie wishes she could get rid of them...maybe she'll get her wish... The Roads Taken Chirstmas approaches on Mobius...and so does Sondra's birthday. Meanwhile it seems that perhaps there are those that are ready to commit treason because of Sondra's origins and her link to the thrown. Meanwhile, parts of Donovan's past are revealed while Rosie and Tanis rekindle an old relationship. A Hedgehog Captured Deep in the midst of winter... Usually, when a freedom fighter is in danger, Sonic comes charging to the rescue. This time, when it's Sonic himself, that is captured, Sally must go to Robotropolis to free him... which bums out Sonic totally. Sonic's Journey Sonic goes off on his own to find himself. On the way, he runs into his long, lost parents, and they're in real hot water, battling/running from an ancient spirit. Will they survive? The Weight of the World Sally's beginning to think that maybe Sondra isn't taking her position very seriously. Sondra's capabilities are put to the test, however, when Sally is captured and Robotizized and it then falls on her to lead the Freedom Fighters. Magical Nights It's a good day in Knothole. Sonic and Antoine are up to something, but only they know what... but it'll certainly be a day the neither Bunnie nor Aally will ever forget. The Return of the King Well, the King is back, but he's not acting like his old, cheerful self. When he attempts to lead an assault on Robotropolis, they find that the evil of the Void has a hold on his mind. Meanwhile, Sonic's mother isn't feeling too well...what could be possibly causing it? Knothole in Chaos Well, it's the big day. The weddings of Sonic and Sally and Antoine and Bunnie. Unfortunately, there is no peace for the Freedom Fighters when the Race for the Emeralds begins... Dormant Fires The Race for the Emeralds is on when the Fire Emerald is spotted in a Volcano. It's up to the Freedom Figthers to get it before Robotnik does. Can they do it? The answer may surprise you. Blood is Thicker Than Water This time the Water Emerald is up for grabs when an old friend shows up at Knothole with it. Unfortunately, the Emrald needs to be fought for, so just when the Freedom Fighters are celebrating they find, there's nothing to cheer about just yet... To Be Evergreen On her way back from Robotropolis, Lydia comes across Dorian, a former traitor, severely injured. When she takes him back to Knothole, tensions rise, and both Sally and Lydia need to keep violence from breaking out. Earthly Balance Donovan returns and he's constructed an illusionary and deadly maze, at the center of which is supposedly a chaos emerald. Both Robotnik and Sally must try to make it through the maze. You'd be suprised who gets there first, but is there really an Emerald in there? Shadows of Evil This particular installment in the Brown and Tolbert epic (and I mean epic!) signals a shift in the story but is still an impressive narrative. There are challenges to face, made all the more challenging because several wishes made by the players are either undone or doubled back onto themselves. And one very underutilized character really gets to shine. [Courtesy of Tyro's Sonic site]
