Sonic: Adventures of Areion

Episode 63: Steel Thyself

The next day, Areion, Sonic, and Knuckles were at the council room to speak of what happened yesterday concurring the attack of Scourge and the Suppression Squad on the Freedom Fighters HQ which they were able to drive them back to their own dimension.

"Just what is there to debate? We head over there to make them think twice before trying to invade our home again." Sonic said in mild annoyance.

Rosemary Prower coughed lightly to gain everyone's attention before speaking "Scourge may conquered Anti-Mobius..."

"Actually, it's Moebius now." Sonic corrected.

"...but our world is different. He won't make his so easily as you would think."

"Besides, we have other matters to concern ourselves with. We're gaining the edge over Eggman with our successful assault on his city...a mission which you both abandoned in the middle to waste time otherwise." Hamlin Pig scowled at the duo.

"Well excuse me for responding to an SOS." Sonic snarked in response.

Areion frowned in agreement "Not to mention that I left backup in the form of my clones before we left. Had we not help the others, they would've been badly injured or even worse."

"I'm sure they could've handled themselves, you needn't have bothered." Hamlin Pig retorted.

A red aura flared around the human as he glared at the pig with his teeth now shark-like "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD IGNORE THEIR ALL FOR HELP, PORKY?!" This made the council, especially Hamlin to look in fear.

"P-Please calms down! We're not insinuating such a thing!" Penelope Platypus said, trying to placate the enraged teen before anything would escalate.

"He'd better not, I follow a code taught by my grandpa; Those who break the rules are trash, but those who don't care about their comrades are even rose than trash that code is what led to what I am today and I will not prefer otherwise!"

"Please excuse Hamlin's words, he doesn't truly speak for all of us." Rosemary Prower said with the other members glaring at Hamlin who looked away.

"Hmph." Areion crossed his arms and continued to frown as the aura disappeared.

"Regardless, we shall settle this by putting it into vote; all for leaving Scourge alone for the meantime?"

Hamlin was quick to resize his hand "Yea."

Dylan raised his hand unsurely "Yea?"

Chuck tapped his fist on the table "Nay."

Rosemary raised a hand "Yea."

Rotor slammed a fist in disagreement "Nay!"

Penelope raised a hand "Yea."

"I'm sorry, but the council voted against..." Elias spoke.

Sonic began walking away with a scowl on his face "Yeah yeah, no need for the dramatics."

"..." Knuckles simply bowed and left the council room.

"*Sigh* Some things never change." Areion muttered before following after the others.

"A council with some members that act like they know verging and yet haven't been getting their butts off the seats to experience life in recent years? Yeah you're right about that." Emerl said sarcastically.

Areion shrugged his shoulders in response and walked out of the council room and found Sonic having a conversation with Knuckles on the staircase, walking closer to learn what they're taking about.
