Snively nodded and left, preparing to bring the traitorous Mobian before his uncle in the future. He knew that if he failed, the consequences for him would be very great indeed.

Levi looked down at his son. "Good morning, Shadow. I hope you are ready for this sadly necessary battle," he said.

"to be honest Dad, I'm kind of concerned, not about the upcoming battle. I'm concerned why the Iron queen just left the Iron king behind, and she seemed eager to get me to fight him." Shadow said, expressing his concerns with his parents.

[KingKovu44]

Aleena sighed. "I don't understand it either, but we must remove the Iron Queen from power. If not, we might all suffer the fate of Jing King's parents. All over Mobius, Mobians would suffer," she said.

"And maybe even that station square place too." Shadow added, showing uncommon concern for the humans who could also suffer.

Meanwhile, the Acorn Army had arrived at the rendezvous point and was awaiting the arrive of Sonic and Sally.

Espio and Jing King had arrived at the ninja clans temple and training ground. Upon seeing the Crown, the Ninja clans met and after discussion, pledged loyalty to the true queen.

Meanwhile, the Iron Queen left the tower as a robot replica would take her place. She smiled as she made her secret departure. Leaving her niece behind, oblivious to her plans.


Knuckles and Juli-Su were taking this time to strengthen their Soultouch, a phenomenon that only occurs in the Echidna race. Whether it is genetic or mystical is unknown, but it's effects are well-recognized. The Soultouch is designed to allow Echidnas to know when they've found their mate in life, the identification of which is made simply by laying eyes on them. When only one of the pair is aware of it, it can cause an attraction that causes that one to follow the other until such time as the other also realizes the Soultouch. It is known, however, that the Soultouch does not guarantee a lifelong relationship, and in fact some couples bound by the Soultouch have split up. However, even broken up couples remain connected by the Soultouch, to the point where one can get a vague sense that the other has died through it.

Sonic and Sally arrived at the rendezvous point and looked at the soldiers. "Hello, men. This is my soon-to-be husband, Prince Sonic. Now, are you ready to do your duty?" she asked.

[Sixshot1988]

"Yes your highness." The unified reply from the soldiers came, ready to serve their Princess.

[KingKovu44]

Sally nodded. "Very well. Remember, you will serve Sonic as you would serve me or any other member of my family, as our kingdoms are about to be united," she said.

Jing King was extremely pleased at gaining the assistance of the clans. She looked at Espio. "Now we have their allegiance," she said.

[Sixshot1988]

"So what do we do when we face the Iron queen? I'm not suppose to hit girls." Shadow asked his parents.

[KingKovu44]

Aleena smiled at her son. "In this case, that rule doesn't apply," she said.

The young hedgehog still felt uneasy about it. But he also felt uneasy about strange dreams he has been having. he couldn't figure out what they meant. However they had more important things to worry about, but his uneasiness was obvious.
