War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 23War for MobiusChapter 23“Sir Charles, it appears that Overlander Forces and the Mobian Underground have landed on the island.”“This was unforeseen…I don’t know what to tell you.”“Haven’t they found the Chaos Emeralds yet?”“They found the missing one….but not without great sacrifice.”“The others were left in plain sight!”“But when left alone too long, the Emeralds only reveal themselves to those who can pass their challenge.”“I see…then our hands are tied?”“For now. War is going to ravage Angel Island.”Robotnik’s forces stand proudly in the storm, unmoving and silent. Both the Mobian and Overlander forces fidget uncomfortably beneath the pouring rain.The Commandos of Paladin Team check their weapons. They may be the smallest force here, but they were also the most dangerous. The best of the elite forces. And it didn
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 22War for MobiusChapter 22Sonic can’t wrap his mind around what he’s seeing. One moment things were bad: Johnny died, no word from Rotor and his team, and the supposed location of the emeralds in Robotnik’s base appeared to be false.He, Sally, and Tails had found the blasted container where the Emeralds were supposedly left, empty. That’s when the bad news came in.Fiona contacted them for help. Apparently the tower she and Ben were hiding at had fallen under attack. The message was cut off before more details could be obtained.As expected, Sonic had quickly volunteered to go check it out, determined not to lose anyone else, only to have Knuckles arrive with even worse news: Robotnik was on his way back to Angel Island. The Guardian insisted that they gather everyone and find the Emeralds before Robotnik had a chance to destroy the Island. Normally the blue hedgehog would have been willing to face Robotnik, but if the resul
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 21War for MobiusChapter 21Lightning flashes brightly, illuminating the skies above briefly before it fades dark again. The wind and the rain beat down among the plant life as small creatures scurry about for shelter. Waves crash against the shoreline, washing away anything not quick enough to escape their grasp. Knuckles the Echidna watches the storm assault his beloved island. Angel Island has faced many storms as it traveled through the skies above Mobius. The plants and animals have become used to the sudden changes of weather, climate, and location.And yet without the Master Emerald, life one the island, now floating amongst the waves, seemed to be decaying.The guardian lets the cold rain trickle down his long red dreadlocks and his face. It is only a minor annoyance before what is to come…Rain and wind batter futilely against the giant flying battle station as it flies through the air.It does nothing to faze the crew inside.Doctor Ro
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 19War for MobiusChapter 19The tree branch breaks away from the large tree as the blue hedgehog slams into it. He falls and crashes into the ground by the roots, the air knocked from his body.Sonic hurts all over. His gloves are torn and one of his knuckles is turning an ugly purple color. Speaking of Knuckles, the red echidna is thrown overhead smashing into another nearby tree, leaving a large crack on it. As he falls to the ground, Sonic manages to push himself to his feet.His head spins with dizziness. He tries to shake it out of his head, but to no avail. Turning, he looks back towards the guardian who lays motionless on the forest floor.This isn’t going to work. Neither Sonic nor Knuckles are still up for this fight. And the blasted copycat of a Robot just seems to keep coming. Sonic wipes a trickle of blood from his cracked lip. Mecha slowly marches over to the organic hedgehog, as if he was savoring his pain,
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 20War for MobiusChapter 20When they had landed, the skies had been sunny and clear. Now the increasing speed of the wind, the black clouds growing overhead, and the chill that fills the air, Rotor knew this trip to the beach wasn’t going to be the highlight of the trip.The walrus adjust the yellow cap on his head and looks towards his team. Antoine nervously nibbles on what little fingernails he has left while Bunnie does a last minute check over her mechanical limbs. It’s kind of funny; Rotor thinks to himself, that the three of them usually ended teamed up on a job. Sure he’d done missions with Sal and Sonic, but this groups seemed to be his group, the one that always stayed the same. “You ever notice we’re usually teamed up together?” he asks the others.The coyote and the rabbit look at each other and then back at Rotor.“Now that you are mentioning it…” Antoine ponders.“Yeah,” Bunni
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 18War for MobiusChapter 18They found Ben slumped in an old office chair in the communications tower. There was a nasty gash in his shoulder. He was lucky to survive whatever he had encountered.In his hand, he held a very large ax. It had taken Johnny quite some time to pry his fingers off it.Currently Fiona works quickly to bandage up the wound.“Same shoulder,” she grumbles, “Every single time you get hurt, Ben, it is the same shoulder.”“Is going to be alright then?” Bunnie asks.“I can’t make any promises,” the red fox answers, “I just don’t have the proper equipment on hand to fix him up now. All I can do is bandage him up to avoid bleeding and infection until we leave this dump.”“Do what you can,” Rotor replies.“What do you think I’m doing?” she snaps back, “And even that might not be enough.”The walrus turns away, doing his best to not let
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 17War for MobiusChapter 17“This place is complete devoid of tech,” Sonic grumbles, “Ol’Buttnik wouldn’t be caught dead here.”“Believe what you want to, Hedgehog,” Knuckles rolls his eyes, “The ‘tech’ is underneath the temple.”“Is this temple dedicated to the Chaos Emeralds?” Sally changes the subject.“Yes,” the echidna nods his head, “One of them was even rumored to be stored within many years ago.”“Is it still there?” Sally asks.Knuckles shakes his head, “No. The temple was torn apart by looters trying to find it. They never did.”Sonic rubs his finger under his nose, “How about the other five?”“Six,” the princess corrects.“Sure,” the hedgehog shrugs it off, “Other Six.”“Robotnik has them,” Knuckles admits.“What!?” both Sonic and Sally respond with at shout.
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 16War for MobiusChapter 16The fire flickers lightly between the two figures seated on either side of it. The campsite itself has been set up in front of the large wreck of metal and machine that had torn up much of the landscape when it dropped from the sky. There wasn’t much to the camp. Some tarps used for bedding and blankets that was likely originally intended to be camouflage for the traveler’s vehicle, and small campfire with a circular wall of small stones gathered around it, and a few tripwires connected to shrapnel from the wreck set up as makeshift to act as an alarm or warning system.Simple, yet effective….if they were dealing with anyone else.No, thinks the mobian nearby, hiding in the shadows just out of sight, this set up was too easy.The figures hadn’t moved since he first moved in, likely indicating they were dummies, decoys. The location of the campsite was also foolish. This would be the first place people would
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 15War for MobiusChapter 15A young Sally Acorn sits on the balcony of Castle Acorn looking over the City of Mobotropolis. She rubs the bruise she received on her cheek for the scuffle she had been a part of earlier that day. The “Battle Wound” stung, but not nearly as bad as the wounds to the young princess’s pride.“I thought I might find you out here,” a familiar voice calls from behind her. She turns to see her father strolling up. Rather than his fancy cloak or his proud military uniform, he had retired to his evening robes. He chews on the end of a pipe he had received from his father as a gift. The King rarely lit the thing but chewing on it seemed to bring back fond memories.The Princess turns away quickly, “I suppose you heard what happened…..”“That I did”“…are you here to scold me?”The King gently lays a hand on her shoulder, “I believe no amount of scoldi

War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 13War for MobiusAct 1 Chapter 13Three Weeks have passed since the Freedom Fighters decimated Robotnik’s Chemical Plant. Things have been relatively normal, well for the most part, since. Miles, now going by the name of Tails, has become a regular team member, going on many missions. Though Sally generally tries to keep him out of the more dangerous missions, things hardly go as planned and the young, two tailed fox is thrown into just as much chaos as the others. Because of this, Sonic has made it his own personal mission to keep the kid “safe.” However, even though the hedgehog has taught the fox boy a lot of “Cool Moves” to keep him safe, the blue speedster seems to ferry Tails into as much peril as often, if not more so than he does protect him from it. This has caused the two to grow into a nigh inseparable duo, and an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.Rotor has taken the newly christened Tails under his wing as

War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 01 RemakeWAR FOR MOBIUSCHAPTER 01 - Hard ContactNo plan survives first contact with the enemy.A lesson, the Mobian Princess Sally Acorn has faced many times before. One she is facing yet again.The plan was a relatively simple one: sneak into Doctor Robotnik’s “Crabmeat” factory, and destroy it with some well-placed and hopefully well-timed explosives. The explosives had been designed by the Freedom Fighters’ resident genius Rotor, however even so they were very costly to make. This caused a secondary objective of stealing supplies to become impossible to overlook. That had been the plan anyways, now the bombs sat unused at the feet of the SWATbot security team who had happened upon the Freedom Fighters. Sally wishes that one of the robots would detonate one of the explosives by mistake, allowing them for a chance to escape. Deep down however, she knew that wouldn’t happen. The storehouse the Freedom Fighters had planned to
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 12War for MobiusAct 1 Chapter 12Rotor pants heavily as he finally collapses at the meeting place. Being a tech-head, the walrus is not built for speed, and the run he has just made pretty much wiped him out. He leans up against a large rock behind him and begins fanning himself with his yellow baseball cap. Nearby Antoine has also collapsed, less to the physical stress and more due to the mental stress. Bunnie is the only one of the group who remains prepared for action. She looks at her mangled arm from the beating it took as it pounded against the wall back at the chemical plant. The dents are deep, and there are large cracks running down the forearm. It would probably take more than a simple patch job to fix it up. For the moment however, she decides to keep it from Rotor. It can wait till they get back to Knothole.“How long do you think we should wait for the others?” the cyborg-rabbit asks her companions.Rotor is

While it’s the middle of the day, the clouds are so thick it seems more like the middle of the night. Rain will come soon, but he plans to be back home before then. His name is Doctor Ivo Robotnik, genius extraordinaire and disputed rule over the former Mobian Kingdom of Acorn as well as many others. However today he’s just a man. He had given the orders that he was to be alone today, not disturbed by any news save for the capture or destruction of a special group of Freedom Fighters whom were led by a certain Princess who was inspiring Mobians to rebel against him. And while he enjoyed the game of war, he had a bigger one to play against The United Overlander Nations, and he could not afford petty distractions from his Mobian subjects. But today had to do with neither side of the war. Today had to

Probably the way Robotnik designed them, both to harm and intimidate. However the that wasn’t the worst part of it. No, the worst part was that Sally was so close to finally making the traitorous overlander pay for the pain and suffering he’s caused, and he is still just out of reach. The small group of Freedom Fighters is in the center of the lights, their enemies surrounding them. However to the shock of many of them, it wasn’t robots. These enemies were flesh and blood, fellow Mobians. “Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters by the looks of it,” Rotor mutters as he looks around. The angle of the lights makes it near impossible to make out their faces, but they are too well armed to be anything but criminals who were profiting from Robotnik’s takeover. While most Mobians wer

Stray bolts strike through the barred windows and the remains of the communications screen. The Garage had been barren of pretty much any defensive cover so Rotor and Antoine had been forced to hide behind the sides of the garage opening. However the lasers were starting to burn through forcing Antoine and Rotor back little by little. With so many SWATbots firing in on them, they didn’t have much chance to return fire. Occasionally an opportunity fire back was available but the SWATbots’ shields would dissipate the attack rendering it useless. No, Rotor and Antoine’s main focus was to keep Bunnie covered while she busted through the wall on the other side. Which meant most of the time was spent acting as a distraction, running from one side to the other just shooting back and forth. The SWATbots’ orders kept them from advancing, b

It shoots over him and lands on the ground, bubbling.“That was way to close,” Miles stutters.“That’s probably the fourth of fifth time we’ve said that. With the stealth spiders, chemical traps, and large amount of SWATbots,” Sally shakes her head, “It looks like we’ve fallen into one of Robotnik’s Traps.”“And we’ve lost Sonic,” Miles adds.Sally pauses looking back the way they came, “I’m sure he’s alright. In fact he’s probably already ahead of us.”The fox boy tilts his head to the side, “But….if that were the case, wouldn’t we have noticed him running by?”“Sonic may be fast, but he has a terrible sense of direction,” Sally explains, “He probably took the wrong

As they get closer the trees in the forest begin to change color and die away. The grass becomes brittle and dead before opening up to dirt. The dirt itself is also cracked and burned, killing anything that grew out of it. It would take Nature a very long time to recover from this horrendous attack. Worse still was the attack had barely begun.“Alright, does everyone remember what they have to do?” Sally checks with the group, “The Chemical Plant is only a little bit farther up ahead.”“Team A’s first Priority is to find and destroy the Robot factory,” Rotor replies.“Then we take out any of the bots that have already been created,” Bunnie adds.“Then w-we go home,” Antoine adds in hopefully. “What’s wrong Ant,

It must have fallen off while it was ringing. If you could call it ringing. Rotor had made sure that the alarms could wake anyone up from their sleep. Sonic wasn’t convinced otherwise. He was pretty sure they could hear the alarms way out in Robotropolis.Sonic finally manages to reach the alarm and switch it off. The time reads the number ten with a thirty following it.

He’s fast, strong, brave, and unfortunately he can also be quite the show-off. It wasn’t long before, much to Sally’s distaste, Sonic had developed a large fan following. Sally insists that Sonic’s fans distract him from the Freedom Fighters’ mission. Sonic argues that if their mission is to help the people of Mobius, they have to give them heroes to believe in. Fans claim they’ve seen Sally at some of their get togethers, however no proof has ever been provided and thus these rumors are usually ignored.While the fans have caused only minor annoyance to Sally they’ve affected some of the other Freedom Fighters greater.Johnny used to be known for his speed and dexterity. Now he’s the second fiddle. In most missions he
