SONIC RESURGENCE

Chapter 14

Castle Acorn, New Mobotropolis, Acornia

Two days have passed since Team Sonic and the Freedom Fighters' trip to Lobonia. Upon their return, King Max found himself slightly disheartened at their loss of the second Chaos Emerald. Fortunately, he became more relieved when Knuckles brought along the third Master Emerald shard and grew content hearing that they had access to a Chaos Emerald that one of Sonic's associates possessed.

Once Freedom HQ cleared out to where just Sally and her father remained, she informed the king about new information regarding Sonic, his golden form, and the Chaos Emeralds themselves. Satisfied with her findings, the royal Mobian squirrel had his daughter archive such details, which NICOLE did so by storing it in the Knothole Freedom Fighter database.

Within two days, Maximillian Acorn invited the councilmen to Parliament to discuss the possible placement for Sophia "Sonar the Fennec" Grayson in terms of her sentence. Given the circumstances surrounding her involvement with the infamous Desert Raiders, it was decided that she would be monitored in a restricted area under the watchful eyes of a trusted high-ranking nobleman. King Max asked around. And while most were weary to take on the endeavor, two notable members of the council raised their hands, volunteering to take up the task.

Thus, a guard had visited the Mobian fennec as he knocked on her jail.

Sonar's head and ears perked up as she turned to the front of the cell where her prison guard stood on the other side of the cell.

"W-What's going on, officer? Did something h-happened?" Sonar questioned, legitimately confused as to what was happening.

Opening the slate, the guard handed Sonar's clothing, washed and neatly folded for her to wear. On top of Sonar's clothing as an ankle monitor device.

"Get changed. You're being released today." The guard stated indifferently.

Sonar gasped at this out of shock.

"What? Are you serious!?" Sonar inquired, taking the clothes and the tracking device.

"Very. Now get changed, and don't keep your guardian waiting." The Mobian hound grunted before stepping away to allow the girl to change.

While she stripped out of her prison jumpsuit and began to put on her clothes after a month of her sentencing, Sonar thought to herself, '...Wait. Guardian? What does he mean by that?'

A few minutes after changing, the cuffed Sonar was escorted out of her special holding cell. While following the guard, Sonar made it out of the castle, only to find a white limousine awaiting her arrival. The guard saw this and had both himself and Sonar approach the vehicle.

The fennec whispered, "A-A limo?"

The butler got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door for the person that stepped off the vehicle.

And that person ended up being none other than Councilman Amadeus Prower, himself.

As the nobleman approached the guard, Amadeus greeted the Mobian hound, saying, "Good evening, officer."

"Good evening to you as well, Councilman Prower." The guard greeted back, tipping his hat to the older fox.

Sonar gazed at Amadeus' appearance and hearing the Mobian fox's surname, then started to put two and two together.

'Councilman...Prower!? This wouldn't happen to be related to Tails, is he? If so, what's he doing here with me?'

Nodding to this, the guard grabbed a key from his belt and removed the handcuffs that were on Sonar.
