Previously in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius... {2 Advertise: SA2 ...in the groove -> Sonic Adventure 2}
Sonic woke up amongst the Freedom Fighters within GUN HQ a week after his defeat at the Death Egg. After telling everyone what he learned about Eggman -who now calls himself Robotnik- Sonic was shocked to see Tails in a worse state than he was. Feeling responsible for Tails' coma, Sonic left GUN HQ to fight Eggman on his own.
Commander Tower -the head of GUN- revealed that he had a plan to bring down the Death Egg, but they needed Sonic and the seven Chaos Emeralds in order for the plan to work. And so while Nicole, Hope, and GUN got to work with some attack vessels, Sally, TodStar & Amy left to find Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds.
Will Commander Tower's plan work? Will Knuckles willingly give up the Master Emerald so the Freedom Fighters can help GUN? And will the Freedom Fighters be able to find Sonic, as well as all seven Chaos Emeralds? Find out as Chaos on Mobius continues!

Chapter Nine: Emerald Hunt (Part Two - Ice-Cold Jewelery) {3 Stage Clear -> Sonic and the Black Knight}

Keeping a close eye on the Emerald Radar given to her, [*1] Sally was riding on Tails' Extreme Gear as she made her way up Holoska's Mammoth Mountain... when the Emerald Radar started flashing green, and started beeping as well.
"A Chaos Emerald! Finally!" She exclaimed after looking at the radar, only to see it turn yellow and start beeping faster. "I'm getting closer..." When Sally looked up, she saw a certain cabin that made her realize who had the Emerald... "Rachel... poor thing..." When she arrived at the back of the cabin, Sally saw Carnage being thrown from one side of the cabin, before getting up, growling and leaping back into action! "That can't be good..." Sally's eyes widened in horror when she saw the Arctic Angels fighting Mina, Ash and an army and strange crystalline creatures! [*2] {4 White Acropolis ~Snowy Peak~ -> Sonic '06}

[*1] The Emerald Radars given to Sally & Amy in Ep125 work like they did for Knuckles & Rouge in the Sonic Adventure games. Well, if you've read the previous chapter, you'll know that they don't ALWAYS work...
[*2] The same creatures from when Shadow fought Mephiles during The Solaris Merger

Ash had pinned Guntiver down in the snow, while Augustus & Flip charged their way through the creatures. Sally also noticed that Guntiver had bandages wrapped around his left arm, which Ash used his tail to strike at, giving Guntiver a great deal of pain. Rotor and Carnage were protecting Rachel -who looked horrified to be so close to combat- while Sealia was keeping Mina at arm's length, because the mongoose looked like she was trying to get her hands on the Chaos Emerald in Rachel's hands!
"Just gimme that Chaos Emerald, and on my honor as a Mephilesologist, we will leave you alone!" Mina yelled to Rachel, who tightly shut her eyes in fear and rapidly shook her head as Sealia held Mina back. "Fine. I'll just TAKE IT!!" Mina then shoved Sealia to the ground while jumping at Rachel, but Sally punched Mina back with her golden fists! "You..." As Mina said that, her eyes briefly glowed a bright purple.
"Yeah. Me." Sally said to Mina, as her hand lost its golden glow. "I don't know how the music industry works these days, but joining a dark cult makes me think that you took a wrong turn in your career, Mina. Now back off, or things are gonna have to get rough." Grumbling something under her breath, Mina turned around.
"Let's fall back, boys." She shouted, making Guntiver get up off of Ash, and the creatures disappear into the snow. "We're done here."

As Sally enjoyed a quick reunion with the Arctic Angels, Ash caught up with Mina, and was curious about something... {5 White Acropolis ~The Base~ -> Sonic '06}
"Uhh... Mina? Why aren't we doing what Master Mogul told us to do?" He asked. Mina chuckled in response.
"We are, but we're going about it a different way..." She replied, just before she snapped her fingers and dark energy started emitting from her hand. Just then, a blizzard started blowing in on the top of Mammoth Mountain, forcing Sally and the Arctic Angels to retreat into the cabin. There was something different about the blizzard, however; The snow that was blowing in the fierce wind seemed to have an aura of darkness...

A few minutes later, Sally had started shivering... and so had the Arctic Angels, which confused her. {6 Limestone Cave ...for Icecap -> Sonic Adventure}
"OK, I know I should've packed some warmer clothes, but why are you all shivering?" She asked. "Aren't you used to this weather?"
"It's Mina and those Mephilesologists." Rotor said as he wrapped blanket around himself. "Ever since they came to Mammoth Mountain, they've been saying that they'll make it colder-and-colder up here everyday until we submit to them." Sally's eyes widened after hearing that, while Guntiver tried to hold Rachel close to him in order to keep them both warm.
"That's ridiculous!" She exclaimed as Augustus, Flip & Sealia bunched up in a blanket wrapped around them. "How long have they been doing this to you guys?"
"S-s-since l-l-last w-w-week." Carnage said as he shivered. "I-I-I'd b-b-be hunt-t-ting those c-c-creeps d-down n-n-now if I weren't-t-t s-so c-c-cold-d-d..." Suddenly, Sally's whole body started glowing gold, which provided warmth for everyone in the cabin. "H-how'd-d-d y-y-you d-do t-t-that-t?" {7 Holoska - Night -> Sonic Unleashed}
"Honest to Chaos, I have NO idea..." Sally replied, before looking at Rachel, who looked just as scared as she did when the Mephilesologists attacked. "What's wrong with Rachel?"
"That fake Chaos Emerald that you and Sonic gave her a while back was shattered by one of Eggman's robots." Guntiver said after he left Rachel alone in front of the window. "Since then, she's been terrified of ever leaving the cabin, because she might hurt someone. Ever since she found the Chaos Emerald she has now, she won't let it out of her sight." Sally looked at Rachel, who looked quite sad as she curled up in a ball as she sat in front of the window.
"Let me talk to her." Said Sally, making Guntiver raise his hand in disapproval, but then Sally raised her finger in protest. "I may not know her as well as you do, but I know what it feels like to be vulnerable. Please, Guntiver..." The wolf then lowered his hand, letting Sally approach Rachel...

"Hey, Rachel." Sally said as she sat next to the reindeer, who didn't budge. "What happened? I thought you had control over your Light Antlers..."
"It's not that..." Rachel softly replied, which made Sally curious.
"Then what's wrong? Why are you holding onto that Chaos Emerald like when we first met?" A tear suddenly rolled down Rachel's cheek. {8 Snowy Valak Mountain (Night) -> Xenoblade Chronicles}
"One night when Guntiver & I were on patrol..." Rachel eventually said, as she began her story...

Guntiver and Rachel were holding each other close as they walked across the snow-capped mountain, when they were approached by a large robot. [*3]
"...we were attacked by one of Eggman's robots." Rachel told Sally. Guntiver stood in front of Rachel, as if he was trying to protect her. That was when the robot swung its sword at Guntiver. While he dodged the sword, it sliced Rachel's fake Chaos Emerald into two pieces, while the robot used its free hand to pick up Guntiver. "Guntiver risked his life to protect me. So I sprung into action with my Light Antlers to return the favor, but that's when things went bad..." Rachel started firing beams of light at the robot, destroying it in the process. But when the robot fell to the ground, Rachel kept shooting it with her Light Antlers.
"Rachel, honey! It's over! You stopped it!" Guntiver told the reindeer, but Rachel looked to her right and sliced down a few trees, before she looked back down at the remains of the robot... seriously burning Guntiver's left arm with her Light Antlers in the process! Once Rachel noticed that Guntiver was rolling on the snow in pain, she was horrified as her Light Antlers dimmed down... and she realized what she had just done...
"*sniff* I did that to Guntiver..." Rachel sniffed as she finished her story, and Sally looked over at Guntiver's bandaged left arm. It was at this point that Rachel dropped the yellow Chaos Emerald she was holding, and burst into tears, which got everyone else's attention. "*sob* I-it's all my fault! And I'll NEVER forgive myself!" Sally quickly started patting Rachel on the back as the poor reindeer cried.

"Rachel, sweetie... I know you never meant to hurt me." Said Guntiver as he approached Rachel & Sally. "You were just caught up in the moment, that's all."
"You just have to remember what I told you when we first met, okay?" Sally told Rachel, making the reindeer remember that moment... "(I know it's a scary thought Rachel, but you're going to have to learn how to control your power someday...)" Rachel nodded as she wiped her nose.
"O-OK, Sally. I promise." She told Sally, making the chipmunk smile... before everyone heard a thumping noise getting louder.
"What's that?" Asked Sally.
"Zut alors! It must be those Mephilesologists again!" Exclaimed Sealia, before Sally started squinting her eyes as she looked through the window... only to see a large monster of darkness with what appeared to be purple veins glowing all over its body. Before anyone could say anything, it fired an orange laser from its mouth, shattering the window after Sally and the Arctic Angels dove down to the floor! [*4] {9 Event: Between Dark and Down -> Shadow The Hedgehog}

[*4] A Mephiles Stalker, the stronger version of Iblis Biters from Sonic '06

Once they all walked out into the dark blizzard, Sally and the Arctic Angels were greeted by Mina & Ash, who were standing in front of the dark beast.
"Mina! Why did you become a Mephilesologist?" Sally asked the mongoose.
"Because Master Mogul guided Ash & I down the true path..." Mina replied, scoffing at the gold glow Sally was giving off. "But I can see that you have no hope, Sally..."
"Hey! That's PRINCESS Sally to scum like you!" Sally shouted. "And you two are punishing my friends just because they won't follow you or Mammoth Mogul? That sounds downright insane to me."
"Well excuuu-uuuse me, Princess... but we Mephilesologists do what we have to in order to fulfill our destiny..." Mina informed Sally.
"And what would that be?"
"Sorry, but until you join our cause, that's none of your business..." Mina then looked at the creature and smirking as she turned back to Sally. "Last chance, Arctic Angels! Join Mephilesology... or face the wrath of this Stalker!" Sally and all of the Arctic Angels -including Rachel- stood their ground.
"Suit yourself." Said Ash. "Sic 'em, big guy!" The Stalker roared in response.
"Get ready, here it comes!" Shouted Sally as she and the Arctic Angels prepared themselves for battle... when a certain blue blur suddenly raced up the mountain... and ran up the Stalker's spine before diving down on its mouth and knocking Mina & Ash to the ground with Homing Attacks! {10 Central White -> Mega Man X8}

The blue blur quickly ran outta sight before anyone could identify him, but Sally smiled, since she knew who it was...
"All right. Rotor! Augustus! You two are gonna help me bring this thing down!" She told the told muscle-bound Mobians, who nodded in response. "Everyone else, deal with those two." Guntiver, Flip, Sealia & Carnage nodded as well, but Rachel still seemed unsure of herself as she leaned up against the cabin. As Sally, Rotor & Augustus ran towards the Stalker, the blue blur rammed into its chin, making it stand on its hind legs as Sally & Augustus punched it in the stomach, making it land face-first into the snow! Rotor threw a rope around one of its front legs, but the Stalker seemed to absorb the rope!
"Well, uh... I guess restraining this thing is gonna be harder than I thought..." Rotor said, while Guntiver & Carnage were trying to keep up with Mina, who kept darting all around the place with her speed. Sealia dove through Ash, making him flip up into the air before Sealia used her tail to bounce Flip up into the air, allowing him to charge through Ash, sending him back down to the ground! Mina managed to grab Guntiver by the throat, making Carnage stop in his tracks.
"One more step, and your leader gets it!" She warned as a black aura appeared around her free hand, which was quite close to Guntiver's face. After Carnage growled in anger, the blue blur raced between the three, tripping Mina in the process, which made her drop Guntiver, and allowed Carnage to ram her into the cabin's outer wall, knocking her out!

While Mina and Ash were dealt with, Sally, Rotor and Augustus were now avoiding lasers from the Mephiles Stalker's mouth.
"So if we can't restrain it, what do we do, Sally?" Asked Rotor, making Augustus turn to the chipmunk.
"We'll just have to take it out!" She told them as her fists started glowing gold again. Before the three of them engaged the Stalker again, the blue blur blasted through its feet, but they just regenerated!
"Not even that blue blur can take it out!" Rotor exclaimed, while Sally spotted a hole where she punched it in the stomach. And that hole got even bigger when a beam of light was fired through it. When Sally, Rotor & Augustus turned around, Rachel was standing behind them with determination in her eyes, and her Light Antlers were shining brightly. "Rachel..." {11 Blizzard Peaks (Sonic Rush Adventure) -> Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games}
"Okay, new plan." Said Sally, getting their attention. "You boys distract that thing, while Rachel & I put some holes in it!"

Rachel fired another beam of light at the Stalker's forehead, while Rotor & Augustus were about to charge towards the beast, but the blue blur grabbed them and placed them both in front of the cabin.
"What just happened?" Rotor asked Augustus, who merely shrugged in response. Sally then kicked the Stalker in the chin with her right foot glowing a bright gold, knocking it onto its hind legs again. The blue blur then struck at its neck, making it fall down on its back, which was when Rachel vaporized its tail with her Light Antlers, and Sally shoved both of her glowing fists into its stomach, causing it to evaporate even more. Once Sally jumped out of harm's way, Rachel used her Light Antlers to completely vaporize the Stalker!
"You did great, Rachel!" Cheered Sally as she raised her glowing fist in approval. {12 Jingle: Act Clear -> Sonic Generations}
"S-so did you, Sally." Rachel replied, feeling flattered by Sally's praise. But that feeling started showing on her cheeks when the rest of the Arctic Angels joined in as they gathered around the reindeer.

As everyone else was congratulating Rachel, Mina had regained consciousness, and had started to crawl towards Ash, when Sally cleared her throat to get Mina's attention. When Mina turned around, Carnage grabbed her by her dress, when her entire body started turning purple.
"What the?" Asked Carnage, but Sally gasped, as she knew what was happening... after Mina had completely turned purple, she revealed her true form... a red and pale-blue hedgehog girl around the same age as Amy. [*5] {13 Event: Showdown -> Shadow The Hedgehog}
"Lily?!" Sally exclaimed, making Lily give Sally the stink-eye. "Why? Why are you doing this?" Lily quickly kicked Carnage in the stomach, making him release her.
"I already explained myself when I was posing as Mina. I'm not gonna say it again..." She replied as she approached Ash while assuming the form of a certain green echidna, startling Sally and the Arctic Angels. "Chaos CONTROL!!" And with that flash of light, Lily and Ash were gone, and the dark blizzard had vanished, allowing Sally and the Arctic Angels to see an aurora as well as the stars.

[*5] One of my characters that hasn't really been seen in a long time; Lily the Morph-hog

Next morning, the Arctic Angels were seeing Sally off. {14 Holoska - Day -> Sonic Unleashed}
"Are you sure you can't stay, Sally?" Asked Guntiver, but Sally shook her head.
"I'd love to, but I can't." She replied. "I've got to find Sonic, if we're gonna save the world from Eggman." That was when Rachel approached Sally.
"Here. You need these more than I do." She said as she handed Sally the yellow Chaos Emerald, and a pair of blue bracelets, which intrigued the chipmunk.
"I'm thankful for the Chaos Emerald, Rachel... but what are these?" Sally asked Rachel, who turned to Rotor.
"I was hacking into the EggNet one day, when I received an email with those attached from someone called Dr Ellidy..." [*6] The walrus replied, with Sally's eyes widening with interest after hearing the name Rotor mentioned. "I printed the email, but those also materialized with it..." Rotor handed Sally a piece of paper after she put the bracelets on her wrists.
"'Give these Ring-Blades to Princess Sally, as I feel that she will need them as soon as possible.'" Sally said, reciting the email. "But why did you give them to Rachel?"
"Well, I do try my best to take care of jewelery..." Joked Rachel, giggling a little before Sally joined in.
"Thanks, you guys. I'll be sure to visit again soon!" Sally said as she started riding down Mammoth Mountain on Tails' Extreme Gear... "(Dr Ellidy? How did he know that Rotor would give these 'Ring-Blades' to me? I lost touch with him around the time of The Solaris Project...)"

[*6] I had another explanation for how Sally got the blue Rings, but the recent Spark of Life arc in Archie's Sonic Universe (Issues 71-74) inspired me to change it.

As Sally was thinking back to someone she used to know, she spotted someone else ahead of her that made her stop in her tracks. Someone blue... {15 Event: Sea of Sorrow -> Shadow The Hedgehog}
"I knew it... I knew that was you helping us last night..." She said to herself. Seconds later however, the hedgehog raced down the mountain at an incredible speed, leaving Sally behind. "Wait, come back! SONIC!!" As she called out to him, Sally chased after the Blue Blur as fast as she could...
