The Island Freedom Fighters present:

Snowy and Cerebral woke up the next morning with each a headache. "Maan! Next time, no de-caff!" said Snowy. "Well said!" commented Cerebral.They got up. Cerebral had spent the night at Sparx's hut in the attic with Snowy. They heard a door slam downstairs, and went to go see who it was.The two foxes went downstairs and found only Utah, who wore a worried expression on his face. "Where are they?" he demanded. "We don't know." replied Cerebral. "They were on their way to visit me but they didn't show up. The Robians noticed that one of the old Freedom Fighter 'Robuttnik' traps had been set..." "Uh-oh..." said Snowy. "The Robians," continued Utah, " have tried to find them, but even with Uncle Chuck's help, we couldn't locate them. "So," said Cerebral, "we're on our own!"The trio agreed, and flew off to Knothole.

When they arrived, they were greeted by Uncle Chuck. "Utah!" he said, "thank goodness you brought help. We've found something!"The robot led them to a hole in the ground that led to a secret zone. "We tracked their footprints to here" he said.Without warning, Utah, Snowy, and Cerebral jumped in. "WAIT!!! We don't know what's in there!" But the warning came too late, they had entered the zone. "Impulsive, just like my nephew Sonic..."

Inside the Zone, they guys noticed rings, chaos emeralds, traps, and platforms. They were about to split up, when they heard an ear-piercing scream.**HELP**Each heard Ava's cry for help, and sped off in that direction. They soon found Ava and Roxy crouched over Sparx's ljkmp body. "What happened?" asked Utah. "We were on our way to Knothole when we fell into the zone. Ava and I managed to land softly, but because of her would, Sparx fell unconscious." said Roxy, her voice filled with concern.Snowy took a look at Sparx and declared "She's in shock. We need to get her to a hospical soon, or she may die!!!" Everyone gasped. "We must find the exit, and fast!" said Cerebral.

Utah, being the strongest, carried Sparx as they trekked in the direction of the entrance. As soon as they arrived, they noticed that the entrance was no longer there. "So much for being lazy...we have to traverse the whole zone..." grumbled Ava. "It had better be a short one...Sparx ate one too many chili dogs this morning." commented Utah. An hour later, they were only 1/3 through the zone.**RUMBLE** "Great.." mumbled Roxy. All of a sudden, the ground beneath Utah's feet started to open. He lost his balance. He dropped Sparx while he tried to regain his balance. Sparx dropped into the darkness below. "NO!!!!!!!!!" cried Cerebral. He used his telekinetic powers, and used them to make Sparx float up to safety. They all made a run for it. Dodging debris and traps, they finally made it to the end of the zone. Nothing happened. "I've had quite enough of this..." said Cerebral. He used his powers to the max. He used the Chaos Emerald from the zone to create a portal to escape. With his free hand, he made his friends through, then he stepped in. They emerged in Echidnapolis. "Oops, I was aiming for Knothole..." he commented. They rushed Sparx to the nearest hospital. There they dropped Sparx off while they went and waited in the lobby. It took a few hours, but soon, the doctors had revived her, fixed the wound, and released her. "Next time, come here sooner when your hurt." said the nurse. "I will, thanx!" replied Sparx. Her friends escorted her to her hut. They discussed many things. One of the things that came up, was the new Freedom Fighters group they wanted to form. "Knothole and the surrounding area has The Freedom Fighters, Downunda has the Downunda Freedom Fighters (DFF), so how bout our own Freedom Fighter group, the Island Freedom Fighters. We don't necessary need to only protect the Island, but the name sounds cool." said Sparx. "Yeah! But I'd have to move out of Knothole," said Utah, "No matter, the Robians need more space! There's an abandoned hut not far from here. Me and Cerebral could move into it!" "Great idea!" said Cerebral. "Roxy, Ava and I already live on the Island, and that sounds like a good idea to us." said Snowy. "IFF Unite!" said all six at the same time.
