Part I

“For the last time, MOVE, Finitevus!!” Julie-Su shoved the aforementioned echidna behind a heavily dented and rusted old car for cover before leaping behind it as well just seconds after. The Egg Pawn clucked in anger as its laser beam missed both Mobians entirely.

Just its luck.

Julie-Su tele-equipped her double-barreled pistol, pointed it around the corner of the car, and pulled the trigger. Two orange beams burst free from the barrels and struck the Pawn, blowing it up upon impact.

“Child, you do realise I am able to fend for myself, correct?” Finitevus lifted up a gauze-wrapped hand, black flame-like energy playing on the tips of his fingers. Julie-Su whipped her head to look at him, frowning. The albino echidna snapped his fingers, and the flames flickered out of existence.

“You wanna argue about this now??”

“Psst!” a voice from the nearby alley called to them. Julie-Su- immediately forgetting Finitevus’ question- straightened up and whirled around, raising her pistol to aim at the same time. Her yellow eyes locked onto a familiar fluffy figure standing in the shadows, and she lowered her weapon.

“Whisper?” Julie-Su called to the figure.

“It’s me,” Whisper told her, her voice quiet as she stepped closer to the two echidnas. “I have the sword- we should go before he sends more.”

Julie-Su nodded as she and Finitevus both got back onto their feet. The trio started making their way swiftly but cautiously down the dystopian street, all of them on the lookout for more enemy robots- Egg Pawns or otherwise. It was hard to believe that these ruins were from the once prosperous city of Mobotropolis, which Eggman had taken control of about two months ago now. Almost everyone was evacuated and taken to the underground city of New Albion for protection. After having received news of what Eggman had done to Knothole, Queen Acorn had her workers construct a secret underground city for the citizens of Mobotropolis should Eggman choose to attack them next. A smart move on her part, as Eggman had begun launching his invasion not long after destroying Knothole. As to what happened to those who had stayed behind to defend the city when Eggman attacked- that being Queen Acorn (who was at one time a soldier in her youth and could hold her own in a combat situation) and her Royal Guard… Julie-Su had heard from one of the Royal Legion’s spies- who had been sent to scope out the remains of Mobotropolis to find any intel on the situation- that Acorn and her Royal Guard were nowhere to be found. It was presumed that they were dead, though the spy did also report that he heard some strange noises coming from one of Eggman’s newly constructed factories.

After the spy returned to New Albion, another team of Legion spies were sent in to investigate further. While they still found no trace of Acorn or her Guard, they did find some files pertaining to Queen Acorn’s most prized possession- the Sword of Acorns. Evidently, Eggman had gotten ahold of it and intended to use its power to further his plans of world domination.

Fast forward three days later and now here Julie-Su, Whisper, and Finitevus were, the sword in hand as they made their way through the city to freedom. Lien-Da, the commander of the Royal Legion, had sent them in to retrieve the Sword of Acorns and bring it back in the hopes that the Science Division could use its power to undo defeat Eggman and restore the Acorn kingdom.

Strangely enough, so far none of them had encountered much resistance. None of them were sure if this was a good or a bad thing.

Julie-Su’s eyes locked onto what little remained of the bounty-hunting office she and Whisper had once owned before Mobotropolis’ destruction. The roof was nothing more than rubble now, and the walls had crumbled almost completely, leaving only a little bit of concrete sticking out of the debris. The wooden sign that once hung on a pole on the front of the building was now charred, and lying face down on the asphalt road. The echidna looked away from the sight, sighing softly.

Things eventually would go back to the way they were.

Someday.

New Albion… in the lab…

Julie-Su stood beside Whisper, the both of them leaning their backs against the wall as they watched Finitevus and the Science Division examine the sword (which was currently resting on the examination table), taking scans of it with their equipment and running them through the computer. While Queen Acorn would definitely not approve of this, no other solution was apparent- all attempts to contact the other cities and villages had failed, and when Lien-Da sent spies to investigate some of the villages closest to New Albion, all they found was rubble. Mysteriously enough, no bodies were found in any of the villages.

In any case, everyone in New Albion was in agreement that this was the only option they had at the moment. No one from the other villages was able- or willing (assuming any of them were spared from Eggman’s armies, which was highly unlikely)- to help them take back the kingdom. So their only option was to examine the Sword of Acorns and find a way to use its power.

And so, the Science Division was working alongside former criminal Doctor Finitevus to do just that. Julie-Su still couldn’t believe that Lien-Da would just let the guy waltz around free, but apparently a deal had been made between him and Lien-Da. If Finitevus were to help them examine the sword and harness its full power and potential, then Lien-Da would allow him to remain free for the time being. Once the Acorn kingdom was restored, she would then speak to the Queen about giving him a pardon- or at least making his punishment less severe.

At least the scientist was actually making himself useful.

Finitevus, who was now wearing a lab coat in place of his usual cape and had a pair of goggles pulled over his eyes, looked over at the computer placed beside the table. “Hmm…” He looked over at one of the other scientists- a female cat- currently in the lab and pointed at the screen as he asked, “What do these scans tell you?” The feline looked at him with a raised eyebrow and a frown, earning an annoyed huff from the albino echidna. “If I am interpreting these scans correctly,” Finitevus explained, pulling his goggles off his eyes and settling said goggles on his forehead, “then the sword will only respond to very specific users.”

“That makes sense,” the feline replied. “The sword’s powers have only ever been able to be used by the Acorn family and- prior to the rise of the first Acorn monarch two thousand years ago- by people such as Mammoth Mogul and Ixis Naugus. But that isn’t exactly news to us.”

“True, but what is new information is the fact that we now know why it can only be used by specific people,” Finitevus told her. “This weapon has a very strong connection to Chaos Energy. Meaning its power can only be wielded by someone who also has a connection to that same energy.”

“So what, are you ‘volunteering’ to use the sword??” Julie-Su interrupted, stepping away from the wall she was leaning against just seconds earlier and approaching Finitevus. “Sorry pal, but I’m pretty sure even Lien-Da isn’t crazy enough to trust you with that kind of power, Marshmallow.”

“Jules…” Whisper put a hand on the pink echidna’s shoulder, holding her back.

“I-‘Marshmallow?’” Finitevus blinked in puzzlement as he stared at her blankly, and then shook his head. “I’m going to ignore your clear lack of faith in me for the moment, and to answer your question- no. I am not volunteering. The Chaos Energy I wield is incompatible with the sword, most likely due to the fact that mine is…  artificial, so to speak. It can only be used by those who can use natural Chaos Energy.”

“So then what do you suggest?” Whisper asked quietly, stepping closer to Julie-Su.

“I suggest we continue to examine the sword and see if-”

A violent tremor rippled through the lab as Finitevus spoke, sending everyone tumbling to the floor. Julie-Su and Whisper were the first ones to get back onto their feet. Just as everyone else started to stand, the lights began to flicker on and off ominously. A rumbling noise off in the distance could be heard, and the lights flickered more frequently.

Lien-Da herself came barging into the lab. “Everyone, get the sword, grab a weapon, and move!! We’re being attacked!! He found us!!”

End of Part I…
