Plot line-Brian Jacques<-----He rocks(Mattimeo) Ryan Nightweaver-Ryan Huber Some of you may notice that this is very much like the book Mattimeo. Well, basically, it's supposed to be. This runs a different direction from any story I've read, which isn't a lot. Heck, I'm still on Davey's web page. But I tried to make it run along the course of after BAM restart. I have no idea about any other of Tails's girlfriends, so I made one up, and this is just for this story, but if you want to see her again, e-mail me!! I will be writing this in parts to make it more exciting. As if. The rays of the rising sun touched Knothole like a kiss from heaven. Young ones awoke and went about to play in the lovely morning. Amid them was Tails Fox, Wombat Stu, Elizabeth "Liz" Raccoon Matti Mouse, and Callista Armadillo. Liz had recovered from the Pippkin incident(See Haunted Fantisies for details) and was now back to her normal, hyper active self. A newcomer to Knothole was Deepblade who claimed he was a mink but looked more like a cruel wesel.Tails didn't care much for the "mink". Princess Sally Acorn sat in her hut with Sonic the Hedgehog. "Sonic, I've looked over your suggestion for having a festival fo the Freedom Fighters who've given their lives for a Free Mobius, and I say....." "What? Sal, what?!" "Fine. You can set it up." "Alright! When can we have it? One week? I can do it by then." Sally smiled. "Fine then, Sonic." Not far from Knothole stood an old church. Once, it was used for sermons. Now, it lay empty, for it had not been used since Robotnik took over 11 years ago. A masked wolf slinked in. She was Raza, leader of a band of cruel slavers. She smiled evily as a wagon made it's way up the dirt road. A stoat lept down. "They're all here, Raza!" She snorted. "Good, just as long as a sentry from Knothole didn't see you." Raza the Cruel looked at her 19 slavers, not counting Deepblade. She silently took roll. Threeclaws weasel, Halftail stoat, Damper weasel, Drynose weasel, Snakespur weasel, Wartclaw weasel, Fengal stoat, Deadnose stoat, Scringe ferret, Hairbelly weasel, Wedgeback stoat, Bageye stoat, Browntooth stoat, Badrag stoat, Skinpaw weasel, Fleaback weasel, Vitch rat, Slagar fox and Dethbrush fox. Not counting Deepblade weasel. Good. All here. Raza spoke to her loyal slavers. "When Deepblade returns, we will know when the festival will be. And then," she pounded on a rotting pew "We strike!" Sally was by her hut with Bunnie. "Sally-girl, ah was wondering. What can ah do to help for the festival?" "Well, Bunnie, you can help us with a "feast"(Sonic's idea) that we're going to have." "Alri-Oh mah stars! Careful little fella!" A mole ran up. The urgency in his tone helped the maidens understand his rough molespeech. "Cum quickly! Tails be a-slayin Deepblade!" The agile and quick Sunflash was the first on the scene. He pulled Deepblade away from Tails and held tightly to the squirming mink. "It was Tails, he started it!" "He said I was not Sonic's apprintice!" "Well he called me a dirty little we-......" "SILENCE!" Everyone turned to the panther, Miyasha.She glared furiously at Tails and Deepblade. "Tails! You know better! Deepblade is a newcomer, barely arrived yet. You have been here for a good deal of your life! But Deepblade, just the same, you know we only fight the forces of Robotnik. Now, go to Rotor and help him out!" Deepblade cussed under his breath. Miyasha stared sternly at him and saw the "mink" off. "Miles Prower, look at me! This is not the first time I have had to speak with you. The shame you have brought upon Sonic and the hardship upon Sally shall rest on your head as a punishment. Now go, speak with Sonic." Stu and Liz looked at each other. Miyasha spoke the truth. Tails's middle name should have been trouble. Deepblade had returned to the church. After a silent confrence with Raza, he and the wolf talked with the slavers. "Now, the feast is tommarrow," Raza said "Skinpaw, Bageye, Fengal, you'll be the jugglers." "But Cheif...." "And no complaints! C'mere Hairbelly, you'll be the balancer." Hairbelly grumbled. "Oh cheif, this is pathetic. I can't sing and this costume looks stupid." Raza had had enough of Hairbelly's complaints. "I will be Lunar Stellaris! Lord of Light and Darkness!" The masked wolf suddenly disappeared. From behind a pew, her voice came. "Ha Ha! Lunar Stellaris, Stellar Lunaris. But to those who defy me, I am Raza the Cruel, Master of life and death!" She suddenly appeared alongside Hairbelly. Before the weasel could bat an eye, Raza had run him through. Hairbelly looked at the sword potruding from his chest as his eyes misted over. Raza let out an evil snigger. "Take him outside to die. We don't want his blood with us." She turned her attention to the slavers. "Now, let down your weapons. Anyone who doesn't will be slain with their own weapons on the spot.If they find us with weapons,we'll be killed instantly." A hail of assorted weapons fell to the ground. "Right. Now, hop on the cart, let's get moving. Deepblade, you run ahead." Squabbling was heard as a large group of creatures roamed across Mobius. They were known outside their home as the Guosim, Guerella Union of creatureS In Mobius(or it could be Marshank). Their leader and his mate, a female hedgehog, looked out. "Do ya see the masked wolf?" The hedgehog called to the human. "Not yet, but when we find him, he'll pay with blood for what he did!" Much festivity was going on at Knothole! Swimming races, potatoe sack races, food, you name it, it was there! Rick Hedgehog, a good friend of Sonic's, and Fred meerkat wandered around with Sonic(Rick had to leave to cook though). "Sal, who's cookin the food?" "Oh, Bunnie and Rick are. It's going to be good!" Ryan Nightweaver was trying to con Rick into giving him food early. "C'mon Rick!" "No is no fox! Now, get out!" Tails went around with his friends, trying hard to ignore Deepblade. They had had a pretty good time. Tails had talked with Sonic. "I've never seen his face redder," Tails told his friends. That was when Raza the Cruel knocked on the gate to Knothole. Sonic, Sally, and Miyasha cautiosly opened the gate. "What do you want?" Sonic asked. "Good fortune to you sir." Raza said. "We are a band of peace-loving buffoons who wish to perform for you, lead by non other than me, Lunar Stellaris!" The three huddled in deep conversation. "They look okay enough, even though I don't trust the wolf." Miyasha said. Ryan Nightweaver poked his head out to see what was going on. "Oh, don't be a stick in the mud, guys, let im in!" "Oh, all right." The young ones cheered as the 19 creatures made their way in. A wonderful show was put on. Not one creature was not laughing. Raza the Cruel looked neither silly nor goofy in her magician attire. No one noticed that everytime she passed a punch bowl, she dropped in a powder. "Now, let us make a toast to the creature who set this up, Sonic the Hedgehog!" None of the slavers drank anything as every creature but Fred, Rick, and Barby Koala. Raza lept onto a table and began swirling her cloak around. "See the moon And see the stars Swirling churninng Brightly Burning Making you wonder and feel What is magic, adn what is real?....." Tails feel asleep, full of good food and well entertained. Sonic, Miyasha, and Ryan awoke with a headache. They found Sally silently sobbing by a bundle. Sonic looked at it. "Fred?" Sally looked up,her eyes filled with tears. "He's dead, Sonic! Who could have done such a thing?" Barby Koala came up will a gash on her forehead. "Stay back Fred. Rick....where's Rick?" She mumbled before she fell unconscious. "Sonic, Ryan. Miyasha, you look for Rick. I'll take Barby to Sasha." The three wandered about through the great forest. "Rick!" Ryan yelled. "If you come out, I promise I'll never raid the kitchen again!" He disappeared into the forest. A few minutes later, Miyasha heard something. "Sonic, look!" It was Ryan. He was softly sobbing over the limp form of the fat hedgehog Rick. "Rick old lad, what did they do to you?" Ryan stood up,seeing Miyasha and Sonic approach."Permission to carry my friend back to Knothole?" "Permission granted." Sonic, Sally, Ryan, Sunflash, and Miyasha sat in a hut. "Patience. Only three creatures saw what happened and two are no longer with us." Sasha came in. "Sally, Barby is going to be fine. She wants to talk with you all." Barby related all. "Fred, Rick, and I already had full glasses so we didn't let them refill ours. We saw you fall asleep. They took something and we tried to stop them. They killed Fred and Rick and wounded me." "But Barby, what DID they take?" "Our young ones! Wombat Stu, Matti, Callista, your Liz Sally, and Tails!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am leaving Miyasha in charge of Marshank Inc.
