Chapter 117 - King Acorn's Wrath

Ekyt made the solitary trek to Mt. Fate. Where he had met Linda-Su&had been arrested&good times. But from the way she wrote the note, she sounded urgent. Something was up. Ekyt got to the top and found himself staring down the barrel of five rifles. Paul the raccoon, Geoffrey Saint John, Heavy, Bomb, and Wombat Stu all stood in front of him. Linda-Su had a rifle pressed to her head too. The king wishes to speak with you Ekyt. Paul informed him. Oh yeah? Well, lets go. Oh, and Geoff? Ekyt said. Yeah mate? St. John answered sarcastically. If you dont take that rifle away from her head, I will make sure they never find your remains. Geoffrey put down the rifle.

King Acorn paced back and forth. The trench-coat clad scoundrel strolled through the door, bowing before approaching. I want you gone. I know what youve done, and while your intentions have been good, you are still breaking the law, and working on my last nerve. King Acorn commented. Ekyt said nothing. You have been disgracing the Kingdom of Acorn, and now I want you gone. At this point, Sally and Elias ran into the room. Dad, dont do it! I gave him permission! I told him he was helping! Sally exclaimed. Dad, its true! He served me well when I was king. Silence! the King thundered. You may be my children, but Im still King. And I say hes banished! Ekyts heart leapt into his throat, but he kept his composure as the King continued to abuse him verbally. I will lift the sentence if you tell me one thing- who else has been working with you?! Ekyt looked him in the eye. No one. I did it all. Nonsense! You couldnt have. If I found out youve been lying, I will have you executed. Now tell me who helped you! I work alone. Ask anyone. Ekyt answered. The King bent closer to Ekyt. Fine. Say your goodbyes. I know youre not welcome on the floating island, and youre not welcome here. So where will you go? the King taunted. Robotropolis to continue my work. Ekyt answered. He turned to leave, kneeling before Elias and Sally. He made a show of kissing her hand and whispering to her Have Sonic meet me outside Robotropolis. He left.

Mitch, Colin, Tails, Tiffany, and Eden were the rest of the group. Sonic zipped up to them and gave them Ekyts message. Colin and Tails are in charge. Ill clear the path, head to rendezvous point, ensure no one follows. Colin spoke up for the first time as leader. We should go in pairs. Mitch, you go with Eden. Tails, you fly the plane with Amy. Tiffany and I will go last. The whole group agreed. Tiffany was starting to sense that maybe Colin was interested in being friends. Maybe more than friends. Now wasnt the time to think about that, though.

Linda-Su shook her head. I knew it. Ive got to do something about this. Hes banned everywhere but Robotropolis. But theres no way he would be crazy enough to live there. She was talking with Knuckles and Julie-Su. They exchanged glances before Julie voiced her opinion. Sis&how to put this&your boyfriend there has been killed for you, he proposed to you as the Dark Legion was going to hang him. To get to the point, hes nuts! Hes going to Robotropolis. Knuckles agreed. Yeah, but you know, hes smart enough not to walk into Robotniks clutches. But, you do what you need to do. You know him better than us. Linda had two pistols, along with a folding-stock shotgun across her back, and a combat knife at her waist. Ill be back. I think Ive got a way he can be back on the island.
