Love Can Move Mountains written by Ceara Ivory AN: Starting as an alternate ending to "Bartleby the Prisoner," this story has a little tragedy, a little angst, and leads to a little romance born from comfort. SoniaxDingo. Character Death. Blood. Chapter 1 As the orange-clad prisoner was led down the hall to the court room, he glared at his "attorney." "I hope you do a better job today." Dingo chuckled. "Don't worry, you're getting off anyway." Bartleby thought about what Dingo had just said. "What are you talking about? I'm on trial?" Dingo rolled his eyes. "Yeah, like you don't know this all a trap for Sonia and her brothers." "What?" Bartleby breathed in shock. Of course, so that's what Robotnik was up to. He thought he was going to use HIM to capture his precious Sonia and her brothers and then just expect him to pretend none of this ever happened. "I have to save Sonia..." He remembered what Sonia had said in the cell. "I'm happy I'm making my life count for something." The sound of doors opening and people filing in made him look up. He knew what he had to do.
Sonia and her brothers were a little behind preparing for the mission. She was noticeably distracted and her brothers knew why.
"Sis, don't worry so much. This is just a trap. Robotnik won't roboticize his biggest supporter when he realizes he won't get anything out of it," Manic tried to reassure her. Her expression said she clearly doubted it. "He has other supporters Manic. And he can easily just claim Bartleby's money after he's..." she stopped herself. "Guys...I..." Sonic put a hand on her shoulder. "And if he does, maybe that'll be the clue the other noble idiots need to change their loyalties." Sonia glared at the blue hedgehog. "So we just let Bartleby be roboticized? Sacrifice him for the Resistance?" "Yeah, and he wouldn't sacrifice us to save his ass?" Manic asked incredulously. "He hasn't yet!" Sonia pointed out. "All he's been is neutral in this fight. He hasn't fought against Robotnik but he also hasn't turned us in and right now, he could easily do it. And he told me not to come to the trial! He told me to stay away because I might get caught!" "Um, guys..." Trevor broke up the argument with Sonic's video-helmet in hand. "I think you should see this." He handed Sonia the helmet.When Robotnik called the court to order, Bartleby steeled himself for what he knew he must do. He wouldn 't let Robotnik get his grubby hands on his beautiful Sonia. He thought about everything he had done up to this point. He'd lived a privileged life as the wealthiest nobleman in Robotnik's court. He remembered being a young boy and meeting Lady Wyndimere's adopted daughter for the first time. He'd acted like a normal little boy but he believed, now, that he had loved her even then. He remembered asking Wyndimere's permission to propose to Sonia and the look of love and delight on the pink hedgehog's face as she said yes. He thought of when she had called off the engagement shortly after finding her brothers. He'd been hurt but understood why when she told him who her real mother was and what Robotnik had done to Wyndimere. He disliked Sonic and Manic the instant he met them. He acted as though it was because of their unrefined natures but truly, it was because he blamed them for Sonia calling off their engagement. She had tried to get him to join the fight but he knew if he did, he would be an instant target. He made the decision to remain neutral instead while appearing to openly support Robotnik to protect them both. Maybe, if it came to that, he would be able to use that to save her. But now...there was only one way to save her and her brothers.
"Sleet you may," Robotnik started. "Wait! I have something to say before we start," Bartleby interrupted as he walked up to the judge's box. His feet felt like lead but he had no choice. "I have to end the trial before she can come." He knew she would come. Like a moth to a flame. "I want to change my plea...to guilty!" Sonia gasped as she heard those words. "No!" She tore off the helmet and looked at her
brothers. "No...what..."
