War for Mobius - Act One, Chapter One.

No plan survives contact with the enemy.

Sally was relearning this the hard way.

The plan had been to sneak into Robotnik's "Crabmeat" factory and destroy it.  The method of destruction were special bombs carefully crafted by the team inventor Rotor.  The bombs had been specially designed to knock out all nearby electronics and computers allowing for the team to escape without harm.  The bombs were costly to make, requiring the team to also raid Robotnik's nearby storehouse for supplies.  That became the main target.  The bombs could be saved for later missions.

Least that was the plan.  The bombs now sit unused before the SWATbots that had been placed in charge of guard duty.  Sally wished the 'bot would be dumb enough to detonate the explosives in its contemptible face.  However that was not likely to happen.

The infernal storehouse had twice the guards then that which had been expected.  Worse, they had been at high alert by the time the Freedom Fighters had showed up.  The Knothole Freedom Fighters were quickly round up and now stood as prisoners of the heartless machines.

"Resistance is futile, surrender or be exterminated!" the SWATbot Commander ordered the rebels.  Sally look about her Freedom Fighters.  Rotor was mostly unharmed, the Walrus seemed more ruffed up then hurt.  A few new cuts a bruises shown upon him but he was alright.  Antoine too seemed alright.  The coyote had taken upon himself to hide behind the medical kit as the firefight, if you could call it that, began.  Though Antoine was a coward he had "bravely" volunteered for this mission, to protect Sally.  Fat lot of good it really did.  Sometimes Sally wonders if it's worth having Antoine on the team, other times she's proud to work alongside him.  Right now it's one of the wondering times.

The last two members of the team, Johnny Lightfoot and Bunnie Rabbot don't seem to have fared as well.  Johnny had been acting as a scout and had gone ahead.  Apparently the SWATbots had been expecting him and had laid a trap for him.  Johnny was one of the fastest runners, if not the fastest, in all of the Knothole Freedom Fighters.  Sally had hoped to send him in as a scout and he'd be in and out before the 'bots would even notice.  Instead he now sports a black eye for that attempt and perhaps a bruised ego.  He helps Bunnie remain on her feet.  Bunnie's leg had been blasted by a "warning shot from one of the SWATbots, and was now in bad shape.  Sally wondered if the damage was repairable, but until either NICOLE or Rotor had a chance to look at it.  Sally hoped her friend wouldn't have to pay for her bad planning again.

During a mission a while back, Sally "goofed" and Bunnie paid for it dearly.  She now sports a Robotic Arm, as well as two Robotic Legs.  Though Bunnie never blamed Sally for it, Sally has yet to forgive herself for the mistake.
With the shape that the team is in now they don't have much of a chance of escape, but surrender was out of the question.  It was unlikely that Robotnik would go easy on her friends.  Robotization was their likely fate.  Sally looks around again, hoping for some sort of plan to come to her or some way to escape.  Things looked pretty grim.

"Prisoners have been fully identified.  Rotor Walrus, Military Cadet Antoine Depardieu D'Coolette, Bunnie Rabbot, Jonathan Lightfoot," one of the SWATbots finally speaks, "and Princess Sally Acorn."

"Contact Doctor Robotnik immediately."  The SWATbot Commander orders, he then turns to the Freedom Fighters, "Prisoners will board the hover pod."  Bunnie responds by making a very un-ladylike gesture.  The SWATbot Commander does not react to it.  Instead the Freedom Fighters are roughly herded on board the transport.  They look to Sally for advice but she has none to give.  She wants to tell them something but can't.  She slowly heads on board the craft, briefly pausing to shield herself from those spontaneous busts of wind.
Wind?  Wait a minute.  She looks around again.  She had noticed them but hadn't acknowledged them till now.  There has been brief gusts of wind whipping by in bizarre patterns for the last few minutes.  Not only was the pattern weird but briefly she could almost make out a blue streak within them.  And to top it all off they were getting more and more frequent.  Almost as if.....

One of the SWATbots is sent flying by the gust of wind.  Then another one was smashed into the pod.  Finally the wind stops in the middle of the group.  Not wind, but a Mobian, a blue Hedgehog.

"Has anyone ever told you 'bots that you are ugly and you dress funny?"
Chapter 1 of a Sonic the Hedgehog Fan Fiction I wrote.

Yeah it's kinda short, the later chapters get a big longer.
