Hideaway



Deerwood Forest Hideaway is a secret base located somewhere in Deerwood Forest. It is where the Mercian Freedom Fighters and the Mercian villagers live at.

Description
Located somewhere in the middle of the Deerwood Forest, the Hideaway holds the Mercian villagers and the Mercian Freedom Fighters. All of the houses are connected via bridges and are high on trees, where villains won't reach the hideaway houses.

History
Sometime after Rob O' the Hedge left the Hideaway to protect his family (Mari-An and his son, Jon), Mighty and Ray had came to the hideaway after hearing news about Mighty's sister was confirmed alive. Bow Sparrow and the Mercian Freedom Fighters–Alan Quail, Thorn the Lop, Munch Rat, and Friar Buck–came to help Mighty and Ray only to find that the two have defeated G.O.O.N.'s. Bow had let Mighty and Ray stay at the hideaway, but the night ended up being a set-up, as Dark Legion-minions came and set the hideaway on fire. Mighty, Ray, and the Mercian Freedom Fighters help the villagers by defeating the minions. Bow told the two heroes to leave to Lord Hood's Fortress while they take care of the Dark Legion-goons. The two heroes left with a thank you. (Sometime before SU #46)

Soon, the Chaotix–Vector, Espio, and Charmy–had entered the Mercia only to be ambushed by Dark Legion minions. However, the Mercian Freedom Fighters came and help the Chaotix, both by defeating the Dark Legion and telling where Mighty and Ray have went off to. Bow offered the hideaway to the Chaotix, and the Freedom Fighters stayed. They then assembled a plan to sneak enter Lord Hood's Fortress to rescue Mercian villagers and Mighty and Ray (if they were captured). (SU #46)

The Freedom Fighters, Chaotix, and Mercian villagers had warped back to Deerwood Forest Hideaway via Warp Ring after escaping from Lord Hood and his minions. The Chaotix had stayed at the hideaway once more before leaving to Sand Blast City the next day. (SU #47)
