SONIC RESURGENCE

Chapter 21

What must be done... ...The servers are the seven Chaos.

Chaos is power. A power enriched by the heart.

The controller is the one who unifies the Chaos.

...Feel within... The sea of Chaos... And the ancient waves.

May the light of its power shine down eternally and protect us all.

Cabinet Room, Parliament House, New Mobotropolis, Acornia

A month had passed since the trap laid by Dr. J. Ivo Robotnik and Naugus the Dark via Metallix along with the destruction of South Island. This was enough time for physical and emotional wounds to heal. However, one person has yet to awaken after the desolation of his former residence.

That young teenage Mobian being the renowned hero of Mobius, Sonic the Hedgehog

By the end of the month-long break, the royal militia so desperately deserved after the traumatic events on South Island, the monarchy summoned the Freedom Fighters involved in the detour to discuss further actions they must and will be taking in order to ensure that their plan to end the war against the Ixis Warlock once and for all.

Within the room was a large roundtable made of oakwood with the royal insignia engraved at the center of it. Against the table, nine chairs were occupied by members of the royal council. Many of them were familiar faces, such as the Prower couple, Sir Charles Hedgehog, Sir Arthur Mongoose, and General Armand D'Coolette. But there were newer faces that Tails, who was called alongside the older members of the Freedom Fighters.

Three of them were Mobian women; a young white sheep, a young green and white pronghorn, and a mature teal and pink eastern dragon. They all wore the blue and red garb of the royal Acornian court with badges as proof of their position.

Their names were Lanolin (the sheep), Clove (the pronghorn), and Miru "Dulcy" Dragon.

While all of the members of the royal council sat around the table, King Maximillion N. Acorn sat at the top center where the tapestry of the royal symbol hung on the wall.

Standing adjacent to the council and the king himself were the Knothole Freedom Fighters, consisting of Princess Sarah Alicia "Sally" Acorn, Scarlet "Bunnie" Rabbot, Antoine D'Coolette, Rotor "Boomer" Walrus, and newcomer Miles "Tails" Prower.

All of them directed their attention to a projection of a news channel that covered the events of the Desolation of South Island thanks to the power of the AI servant of the Kingdom of Acornia, NICOLE. The news anchor in question was a female black Mobian cat with a beige muzzle and skin in her ears, green eyes with purple eyeshadow and wore a violet blazer with a light purple turtle-neck shirt and white gloves.

"A month has passed since the tragic incident that claimed the lives of the citizens of South Island. The hero of Mobius Sonic the Hedgehog, who was sighted alongside his comrades on South Island before the catastrophic disaster, has not appeared in public nor given any statements in regard to the event leading up to the island's destruction, prompting many across both Mobian and Overlander territories to wonder about the legitimacy of the claims made by Acornia regarding the fate of South Island. Since then, G.U.N. has fortified their defenses and increased security across United Federation territory while also deploying their forces to islands within Mobian territory, as to ensure they do not share South Island's fate. Crowds of protesters and journalists were spotted outside the White House, demanding to know whether or not the United Federation was at risk of being under attack by the assailant who destroyed South Island. President Langston Arbuckle, the United Federation's beloved leader, released this statement earlier today."
