Part 1 ------ "What was that sound?" asked Tails speaking of the sonic boom Antoine and he had just heard. "I do not know, but eet can't be goued." replied the squire. Tails began to twirl his Tails like helicopter blades and began to gain altitude. "Grab on Antoine!" yelled the two-tailed fox. Antoine jumped into the air and grabbed hold of Tails's hands. As the people below them became unidentifiable Sonic entered the city limits. He cocked his back and thought, 'What is that?Hmm it's orange and...it's Tails!' Sonic opened his mouth to alert Tails of his presence, but was knocked to the ground by a hooded fox who pulled out a knife, "Yer money er yer life," he said in a harsh tone. "Neither, but thanks for asking," said Sonic and he sped off leaving a dazed fox behind. A pig general stepped into the room where Ashkura held all of his meetings. "Well, have you found him yet?!" asked Ashkura, his eyes turning red. "Well...um...you see...we..um..well..." stuttered the general. "General Matiska? Spit it out already!!!!" yelled The Evil One. "Nnno sir." said General Matiska. "General, you know I hate failure, and unless you find my brother soon I'll do to you what I was going to do to him!!" With a salute General Matiska ran out of the room to keep searching. "Oh how they fear me," gloated Ashkura,"well they have plenty of reason to!!" he said smashing his claw down on the desk. "Where are they?" asked Sally. Suddenly the secret door burst open and in came Tails and Antoine. "Didja miss us?" asked Tails. "I was worried sick!" yelled Sally,"we've lost Sonic, we don't need to lose you two!" Sally turned away as tears welled up in her eyes, she wiped them away and turned her sad face to angry as she turned back to Tails and Antoine " Where...were...you?" Tails looked at Sally and said, "We were in Ashkuratropolis," Sally's eyes went wide. "Antoine you were supposed to be watching him. You two went to Ashkuratropolis without asking!!?" Sally began to clench her teeth. "What if you were killed? We wouldn't know what had happened or where you were!" "Chill Aunt Sally," said Tails, "we weren't killed and nothing else happened. We're alright." Then Tails went to his room. Knothole was now underground instead of above because of the robot Ashkura had sent to poison and destroy the Great Forest 18 months ago. Most of the Great Forest was dead and the parts that weren't dead had turned black, and if anyone was to touch a black tree it would either fall on them and or crumble. Sonic sped through the city looking at people and places, 'They all look scared,' he thought, 'but of what?' He had been thinking so much he didn't realize where he was, he stopped, and looked up in marvel and amazement. 'Wow!' he thought, 'It's definently not Snively who's in control of this city, he doesn't have any taste, but this is amazing!' The place where Sonic had stooped was in the middle of the city known as Ashkuratropolis, and the thing that he was looking up in amazement was the castle of none other that his cloned brother: Ashkura. General Matiska led his army through the streets as they got closer and closer to where they had heard the sonic boom. "It came from just around the corner," said the general. The entire army followed behind the general as he led them around the corner and to none other than:Sonic The Hedgehog. The blue hedgehog turned around when he heard the footsteps. Sonic just stared. There in front of him was an army of about fifty guards. They quickly surrounded him. General Matiska took out a laser blaster and aimed it at Sonic. "Stop!" said a voice. Everyone turned to see Ashkura stand outside of the castle gates. "You!" exclaimed Sonic. Part 2 ------ "What do you think is goin' on?" asked Tails. "Well," said Sidney, "even with these binoculars I can't be sure." Sidney and Tails were on one of the roofs of Ashkuratropolis. "Are you sure this is okay with Sally?" "Positive." "You!" exclaimed Sonic. "Yes ME," said The Evil One. "Too bad you weren't around to see what I did to Snively. Too bad he made me so evil. He couldn't control me, and I gained control of the city. It was quite easy to overthrow Princess Sally and her stone head dad. Not much of a challenge but you..." he trailed off. "Has anyone seen Tails?" asked Sally. "I didn't see him since this morning," said Rotor. "Where could he be?" "Why don't we go down there and see exactly what's going on?" asked Tails. "Too dangerous." said Sidney. "Aw c'mon," said Tails jumping off the edge of the building. "Tails, wait!!!!" "Well, I guess this is the welcoming coming committee," said Sonic. "No, but close," said the Evil One. Suddenly Tails fell from the air and landed on Ashkura. "Tails!" yelled Sonic. "Sonic!" exclaimed Tails. "Sonic?" said Sidney from up in the air. The secret door into Knothole opened and in came Tails and Sidney. "Where have you two been?!!!" yelled Sally. Suddenly Sonic walked in. "They were with me." said Sonic. Part 3 ------ "Aunt Sally? She's awake!" "What happened?" asked a dazed Sally. "Are you okay?" asked Sonic. "I'm okay, but you're supposed to be dead!" she exclaimed. "Well, I'm not, they drugged me to keep me asleep, and my clone was planning on killing me, I woke up just in time, and now that I'm back we've got a lot of planning to do. "Planning? For what?" asked Sally. "We're going to overthrow my clone and take back Mobitropolis!" To be continued... How's Sonic going to overthrow Ashkura? Will it work? And what about the rest of the Freedom Fighters, did they survive? The answers may surprise you...
