A/N: Hello fellow readers, welcome to the sequel of my previous story. I was thinking of doing the prequel first but this one really has my creative juices going, so I just had to get it out. For those who have been reading the comics, this takes place after the events of World's Collide, a Sonic/ Megaman crossover (not to be confused with World's Unite). Due to a series of unfortunate events, things have been permanently changed across the multiverse, for better or worse. As this story goes on, you'll even find that my own OC was also affected by these changes as well as the rest of the world.
Also, don't worry about my first story. I'll still finish it, as I predict it could be done in about another 10 chapters.

-Somewhere-
Sitting in a prison cell, a person was lying on an old wooden plank that was chained to the wall, just staring at the ceiling as if it'd move. Despite light coming from the door, it was still a bit dark so you couldn't make out exactly what the person was except the blue eyes it had. It also had large, puffy tail that hung lazily to the side, so it was definitely a mobian. And judging from the growl emitted, it was a male. The mobian in question as trying to sleep moments ago, but the sudden ruckus outside awakened him. It must've been a huge fight going on, given how pieces of the ceiling cracked and fell.
He recalled how he ended up in this cell, who placed him there, and how he didn't get the chance to explain himself before being thrown in like yesterday's trash. Just the thinking about it angered him, but the mobian was patient. All he had to do, was wait for the right opportunity. He noticed the the fighting had stopped once he no longer heard impacts in the ground above, and minutes later he could hear 2 pairs of footsteps walking past his cell door.
"Naugus sure prides himself on magic, but this is some serious hardware. Where'd he get this stuff?" One voice asked. It sounded like a kid. The mobian glared at the door, knowing all too well who it was.
"First wave...powerless...stole from...Eggman, who...Tails Doll." Another voice, this one female, sounded like someone was speaking through a phone with bad reception.
Another few seconds passed, and he heard the door next to his cell open. "Nicole! Boys! Thank heavens you're safe! Did Naugus give you any trouble?" The mobian heard another voice say, his face softening a little. He remembered how Naugus had the real king thrown into a cell shortly after he was jailed. However, the next one to speak made his anger flare up again.
"Nope, just a laugh. He bailed before we could show him the door." A somewhat cocky voice replied.
"That coward! Oh well, I'm sure you'll find him in due time. I apologize for getting you captured Nicole. Had I not delayed, your physical form wouldn't have run out and...hello?" The mobian heard the king say.
"She's dealing with a...system error sire. Naugus must've done something to her." The kid replied.
"Then I'm doubly sorry girl! Is there anything I can do to repair the damage?" The king said.
"Do you know where Rotor is? And everyone else for that matter? We...kinda lost contact with everyone." The kid replied.
"Not directly, but I can point you in the right direction! Follow me!" The mobian heard the king say. Soon he heard all three leave, and it was silent once more.
Shifting his gaze to the floor, the mobian noticed a large piece of concrete fell from the ceiling. Looking at the door, a smirk grew on the male's face. Picking up the debris with little difficulty, he threw it hard at the where the door's lock met the wall. A loud crash was heard as the door was forcefully swung open. Stepping into the light, we see that the mobian in question was a red fox. The fox had some build to him and as well as a head full of dark bushy hair. He also wore a pair of brown boots. The fox squinted his eyes a bit from the light before looking around, making sure no one heard the noise.
"Well, that was easy." He spoke, a southern accent in his voice.. "Now to get the hell out of this city and call Hornet. But first... I need to get my stuff back." The fox grinned as he looked up the stairs.
Walking up cautiously, he noticed no guards or military personnel were nearby. Given that Naugus was king, the fox wasn't too surprised. Moving his way into a room full of confiscated weapons and other items, the mobian found what he was looking for. He strapped on an ammo bandolier that carried shotgun slugs, a helmet with hi-tech goggles and ear-attachments that fit perfectly on his head, and two of his favorite weapons: an automatic shotgun and a highly modified rocket launcher. He also grabbed a large, gray cube which he pocketed for later.
Pressing a button on one of the ears, the fox spoke as if speaking into a microphone. "Hey Hornet, it's me." The fox got a happy chirp on the other end. "Easy there pardner. Look, I managed to bust myself out. Sendin' ya coordinates to pick me up. I ain't expectin' to be followed, so don't worry about gettin' into a fight." And with that, the fox exited the room.
"Can't believe those idiots left me in a cell for three weeks...wasn't my fault them dumbass Sand Blasters tried to kill me. Given that they were assholes anyways, I would be doin' the world a favor takin' that shield projector and leavin' 'em defenseless..." The fox muttered with distaste. "But of course, they didn't give me a chance to talk...I know Sonic was impatient but he needs to sit his ass down for once..."
The fox made his way out of the back of the castle before slipping down the streets of Mobotropolis, stumbling slightly as a sudden earthquake happened. It was weak, but these natural disasters were happening way too often to be natural. The fox would have to look into this matter later though. He needed to reach Hornet, as he was sure it would love the upgrades he had planned for it.
-A few hours later: Sky Patrol-
Ever since Sonic found himself back in Old Mobotropolis, he had been having conflicting memories. He remembered everything up to the point where he tried to restore reality back to the way it was, only for Eggman to interrupt him. The doctor had been so fed up with losing to the hedgehog he was willing to destroy all of reality if it meant he'd win. However, this only resulted in reshaping their reality into what it was now. Now, the hedgehog found himsself remembering events from a different perspective as well as remembering things he wasn't familiar with, but it seemed like he was. (A/N: Those events being the games such as Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, etc.)
What confused him even more was that it seemed no one else remembered the old world, besides Nicole. Being that she was a computer, it was easy for her to store data, even between differing timelines. It also might explain why she had a large amount of genesis wave energy causing glitches in her system. Whenever someone touched her PDA, some of that energy was transferred to the person and it caused them to have memories of the old timeline. Naugus was the first to do this and fled, fearful of going insane. Next was Tails, followed by Rotor, Antoine, Bunnie, and (at the same time) Sally and Amy as Sonic found them.
Each time it happened, the person in question experienced a harsh headache followed by shock and anguish in some cases. In particular, Antoine and Bunnie were shocked they'd been in comas, and would've stayed that way had it not been for Klaus. Sally was the best example though. After realizing what she did as Mecha Sally, she practically broke down. However, after some reconciliation with her friends, she got better, but was still visibly traumatized.
It was pretty hectic finding the other Freedom Fighters: Rotor was secretly finishing preparations for a flying fortress called the Sky Patrol with Big keeping watch, Antoine was keeping Uncle Chuck safeguarded as he studied an odd substance coming out of the earth from the quakes, both Bunnie and Sally were in deep cover to get information from Eggman, and it seemed Amy and Cream were on an entirely different world helping Blaze collect the Sol Emeralds. They also found that their outfits had changed a bit as well.
Yet despite all this, the heroes managed to pull themselves together and were happy that they were a team once more. At the moment, everyone was on the main deck of the Sky Patrol, which still sat near the jungle of the Mystic Ruins. While everyone else was chatting about what they could recall, Nicole was looking into how the world was affected by the super genesis wave. Despite being in contact with all the other heroes, she still had a small amount of genesis wave energy left in her system. At least by now she could talk and project herself more clearly.
Looking through her screen at the others, it suddenly dawned to her they were missing someone. Big and Cream were the only ones who didn't touch her as the others felt they wouldn't understand the memories they receive, but that wasn't who she was concerned about. She felt as if someone very close to her was missing. Before she could dwell on that fact further, a warning signal got her attention. She looked at her readings further before being completely shocked. It seemed the super genesis wave did a lot more than she originally thought.
"Rotor! Launch the Sky Patrol now!" The A.I. yelled.
Rotor was a bit surprised by her request but went over to the piloting console and activated the ships thrusters. Everyone jolted a littleas they felt the ship take to the skies. The walrus then grabbed a nearby power ring. It seemed in this timeline, Nicole could project her physical form from her PDA if she had a decent source of energy. However, power rings didn't last very long and the holo-lynx would be back inside her computer either once the energy was used up, or the nanties that made up her form were damaged.
"What's the rush Nicole?" Rotor asked as he installed the ring. The A.I. assumed her physical form seconds later, a grave look on her face.
"The world didn't just get rewritten! It's...it's far worse than I could've imagined! From analyzing what I now know about dual realities, I found it wasn't just our planet that was affected, or our reality for that matter...the entire multiverse has collapsed upon itself!" Nicole stated, fear radiating from her.
"The entire multiverse?! How did something like that happen?!" Rotor asked.
"When the genesis wave was launched, every facet of reality fell upon itself and was recreated. Even our molecular makeup was changed to match our new histories. The first one only affected our world, but the second one affected everything! When reality was changed again, all of that energy was focused on our planet! The earthquakes we see? They aren't natural...it was a sign that the planet is tearing itself apart!" The A.I. explained.
"Woah, hold on there Nicole. We always save the world. Is there any way we can stop it?" Sonic asked, hoping to find a solution before the worst happened.
"'Stop it'? It's too late!" Nicole stated, taking everyone by surprise.
Looking out the window, everyone was horrified at what they were witnessing. The massive earthquakes caused the very ground beneath them to rip open all the way down to the planets mantle. Magma spewed out and large pieces of earth began to float upwards, as if gravity suddenly had no hold on them. Also, a strange purple energy began to leak out of the planet from almost everywhere. No one was quite sure what it was, but the heroes didn't have time to dwell on it further. The Sky Patrol received an open distress signal from the United Federation city known as Station Square, and it was gonna need all the help it could get, especially since it never fully recovered from Perfect Chaos' rampage.
-At the same time: Desert Badlands-
"Shit! I knew the Earth was breaking up but I didn't think it was this bad!" The red fox from before yelled, startled from what happened. He barely managed to get Hornet to take off before the ground beneath them caved in.
The Hornet looked much like it did in the original timeline, but with a few differences. It had an overall sleeker body along with its gun attached to a gun pod located in the back. Its side bays were no longer used to fire weapons, but to store ammunition in its main body. Now, it fired a multitude of weapons directly from its mouth. (A/N: How the Hornet was made was also changed as well)
The mobian looked down at the large crack in the ground where 'his' base used to be. It was actually an abandoned Egg Army base. At the time, he was installing a new module into Hornet when the ground shook violently. He didn't know what was going on, but he sure as hell didn't want to be on the ground anymore. Feeling that might be the last time he'd use the building, he grabbed whatever was essential before giving Hornet approval to take flight. The fox was rather upset, but at least he finished his work, and there was no time for dwelling over lost ordinance. He could always get more later. Now was the time to find a certain duo and exact his revenge...
-Over Soumerca-
The Freedom Fighters returned to the sky patrol, having just helped survivors in Station Square. At first, it was become too much for them to handle, but thankfully they got support in the form of a large, GUN-built flying fortress called the Letter of Gabriel. The ship's size rivaled that of the Death Egg, and from then on out both parties worked to make sure the survivors were led to safety. At the moment, Sonic and Tails were chilling at the meeting table while Sally and Nicole gave a report to King Acorn. The others were elsewhere on the ship.
"Ugh...what a crazy day. I almost completely forgot about our memories from the other world..." Tails said, slumping against the meeting table.
"Yeah...though I have a feeling we might have forgotten something..." Sonic said, kicking his feet up.
"I wonder what...I kinda feel bad about saying this, but our old memories...I feel like I should care about them but for some reason...it just feels like having a vivid dream, ya know? And even when you wake up after a while, it lingers..." Tails said, feeling a little uneasy.
"So it fades away, I get ya. But let's focus on one thing at a time bud." The hedgehog replied.
"Yeah... but you'll still remember everything right?"
"Of course. No worries." Sonic said, patting the kit on the head.
Sonic thought for a moment on how they could fix this mess, and then it hit him. Uncle Chuck was studying these quakes and a strange substance that came out of it. He went to Spagonia to meet with a colleague of his to compare notes. Hopefully they hadn't been caught in this mess as well. He noticed Nicole and Sally had finished with their report.
"Hey Nicole, can you give Chuck a call?" Sonic asked.
"We were just about to. Let's hope their lines are still up." The lynx replied. After getting static for a few seconds, they were met with Ben Muttski on the line, and he looked highly upset about something.
Ben was Sonic's pet dog in the original timeline, but after the shift in reality, he became a regular mobian dog. Both Sonic and Tails were rather disturbed about this when they first met, but quickly brushed it off.
"Yo Muttski! The university still standing? Are you hurt?" Sonic asked.
"Y-Yes and no..." The dog replied.
"Ok then shake it off buddy. Is Chuck there? I need to speak with him." Before Ben could say anything, the line cut out for a moment.
"So why do you need to talk with Uncle Chuck?" Sally asked.
"See, I'm thinking these quakes we've seen in the Wood Zone and Metropolis are connected to what we went through just now. Since Chuck was researching this weird energy coming out of the fissures, maybe he knows something." The hedgehog explained.
"That's...rather astute." Sally said, a bit surprised considering who it came from.
"Yeah, I'm totally that word you just said." Sonic said, giving a smirk.
The signal re-stabilized. "Sorry Sonic, but they took them!" Ben said with worry.
"Wait, who did?" The hedgehog asked.
"Eggman's badniks! They showed up out of nowhere and kidnapped both Chuck and Professor Pickle! They even took all of their research with them!"
"It seems Eggman wants to find a way to hold the world hostage...Nicole! Find out where they were taken. Sonic, gather the others for a meeting. We need to develop a game plan." Sally ordered.
The two nodded and went to work. Nicole searched the world map and did multiple scans for any of Eggman's robots that were in the area. After a few minutes, she discovered an Egg Train leaving the area heading towards the badlands. It's destination was Bullet Station, another one of Eggman's bases. Since there were no other units in the area, she had a hunch that train is where they'd find the two hostages.
Meanwhile, Rotor was on the command bridge checking the Sky Patrols systems. Since they had to launch earlier than he anticipated, he wanted to make sure his ship was in top condition. Having spent months building it, he made sure it was ready for anything, even a giant robot if Eggman decided to send one. Cream stopped by earlier and gave him a cup of tea. She would've brung coffee but his coffee machine was rather...complicated looking for lack of better words. The walrus nearly choked when a missile warning blared in the room.
The ship's defense measures easily destroyed it, but a few more were coming. "Guys! We're being attacked!" Rotor shouted into the comm system.
Sonic was the first on the scene before everyone else followed shortly after. "What's the deal Rotor?"
"Something is shooting air-launched missiles at us. I'm trying to find it on radar but nothing's popping up..." He said. Another missile warning blared before the missile was decoyed and steered away.
"Nicole, can you find the launch point?" Sally asked.
"Yes...it's coming from 10 miles in front of us." The A.I. stated.
"10 miles? How could something get that close without getting detected?" Rotor asked, a bit stumped.
"I'm willing to bet it's Eggman." Amy suggested.
"Whatever it is, we'll send it packing. Get to the Tornado and Twister ready, see if you guys can find anything." Sally ordered.
The rest nodded and made their way to the hanger. Tails started up the Tornado with Antoine in the Twister. The Twister was built similarly to the Tornado in that it was a biplane, but its wings were swept back instead of being straight along with thrusters mounted under each wing. Both planes launched, Sonic riding on the wing of the Tornado, Amy on the Twister with Bunnie flying along side. As they neared the launch area, they couldn't find anything but clouds and a few large pieces of earth floating about.
"I am not zeeing anything." Antoine said, looking around.
"Same here, think it split?" Bunnie asked.
"I doubt it, cause I have the feeling we're being watched..." Sonic told them.
Just above the heroes, the Hornet hovered in the clouds, watching them through thermal vision. It wanted to fire a missile but it would alert them to its presence from a distance. Instead, it opted to use its cannon. Locking onto the Tornado, it dove down, closing to within effective striking distance. At the same time, on a piece of floating earth that was about a mile in diameter, a lone person was watching the planes through a scope.
"Time they fell for the trap..." The figure said, getting a lock on the Twister before firing a few missiles.
Antoine's plane blared the appropriate warning before he noticed a missiles coming at them. "Incoming!" He said, pulling aggressively to the right to dodge it.
Amy hung onto the wing as the plane banked sharply, noticing the missiles, and that something was above the Tornado. "Sonic! Above you!"
The duo looked a little too late as a stream of bullets hit the wings and the engine, causing the plane to spin. Tails pulled the stick hard to level it out, heading towards the largest piece of floating earth nearby for an emergency landing. The others avoided the missiles and got a good look at their attacker. If their eyes were betraying them, it was the same flying robot that Kor owned. Why it was attacking the Tornado, no one knew why, but if it wasn't friendly, they'd have to shoot it down. Antoine pressed the attack, firing missiles at the drone. Hornet produced chafe before reversing course, directly past the heroes.
"Sal, Ah think we found what was shootin' them missiles." Bunnie said through a communicator built in her arm before showing those aboard the Sky Patrol.
"Oh my..." Sally said.
"Looks like Eggman's but...wait, isn't that..." Rotor said.
"I confirmed...I knew we were missing someone, but with the current issues at hand I didn't have time to identify whom...that robot definitely belongs to Kor..." Nicole told them. Last time anyone saw it, Kor had shot it down after it was controlled by the Iron Queen. But the Hornet didn't look to be under foreign control, so why was it attacking people it should be allies with?
"Nicole, can you pull up any files on Kor? There might be something we can find." Sally asked.
"I-I'll see..." Nicole stated. It didn't take long for her to find something. Opening the database, she found a large amount of information, most of it ranging from dangerous jobs to security detail. However, one that stood out to her she found in the Mobotropolis Criminal Database.
Back with Sonic and Tails, the kit managed to land the Tornado safely, preventing more damage to the plane. "What was it that jumped us?..." Tails asked.
"I hope I'm not seeing things, but doesn't that look like Kor's robot?" Sonic asked, looking above them. The robot was still flying against the Twister, who kept attacking it whilst it dodged.
"That is Kor's robot...but why would it..." Tails was cut off as someone spoke to them. "Hello boys..."
Looking to their right, they saw a red fox sitting on a boulder. Wearing the same gear and sporting the same rocket launcher seen before in this story, the two heroes without a doubt knew that it was definitely Kor T. Royce, and he didn't look happy to see them. But they noticed something a bit different from Kor. He did not have any noticable cybernetics such as a prosthetic hand, but they weren't sure about his eyes as they were covered by his helmet. He also had a more noticeable build to him.
"Kor! What's the deal with your robot attacking us? Did someone take control of it again?" Sonic asked.
"Again? What are you talking about you blue idiot? I ordered it to attack y'all." Kor stated, looking at a missile for his launcher.
"Why, what did we...oh now I remember..." Tails said, slapping his forehead.
"What's that?" The hedgehog asked.
"Last time we met, we had to bring him to jail because he was found to have murdered a group of people! And that was 3 weeks ago!" Tails explained.
"Oooh I get ya, now I see why he's mad."
"If yer tryin' to apologize, it'll get ya nowhere. And unlike last time, I came prepared." The red fox said, tossing a cube out.
The cube broke apart into pieced before the pieces had reconfigured themselves into a massive, moving vehicle that was armed to the teeth. "Boys, meet Terry. Terry, the boys who jailed me unjustly..."
'Terry', was actually the second mobile sentry gun that Kor had built to replace his original one after Mecha Sally destroyed it in the old timeline. It looked no different from it was first built aside from the fact its wheels had armored plating on them. Terry looked down at the two with its guns, priming them to fire.
"Unjustly? You murdered a group of freedom fighters!" Sonic said angrily.
"You never gave me a chance to explain myself, and neither will I." Kor retorted before the sentry opened fire, causing the two heroes to dodge. The fox noticed Hornet still dodging fire from the Twister. He didn't want the other heroes to get involved as it wasn't their business, but they were becoming a nuisance in his eyes. "Hornet, shoot 'em back. At this point you're to keep them at bay while I deal with these two."
The drone complied before taking aim and shooting at the Twister and Bunnie, forcing both to dodge as missiles screamed past. It soon got on the plane's 6 o'clock, trying to line up for a gun kill. However, a blast from Bunnie diverted its attention, causing it to fire a couple missiles at her. Rotor and Sally watched from the Sky Patrol as they saw the situation get worse. They'd have to do something soon or the others would get hurt, or worse.
"Nicole, did you find anything?" Sally asked, a worried tone in her voice.
"I-I have...but...it makes this Kor much more different than the one I remember..." Nicole stated, putting some information on a screen.
Sally walked over and read it aloud. "Kor Royce, captured and sent to prison for the...m-murder of a group of freedom fighters?! Court date had yet to be verified, recently found to have escaped custody...this...this doesn't sound like him at all..."
"You think in this reality...he's become a villian?" Rotor asked.
"I...I don't know...but we can't sit here doing nothing! I don't want to have to hurt him, but there has to be a way to get him to stop all of this!..." Sally paced in thought before her eyes looked over to Nicole's PDA. The A.I. got a confused look.
"You still have any genesis wave energy in you?"
"I do, but it might be a moot point...there's barely any of it left..."
"Well, hopefully it's just enough. Come on Nicole, it's time for you two to have a reunion." Sally said as she unplugged Nicole from the Sky Patrol's systems and ran for the hanger.
"Wait, what do you have planned?" Rotor asked.
"Hopefully something not suicidal!" Sally yelled. Once she reached the hanger, she grabbed a hover board and sped out to the floating landmass. "Given what we've experienced, every time someone came in contact with you from this point on, they had flashbacks of our old world. Maybe the same will happen to Kor, and hopefully he'll call off his assault."
"Are you sure Sally? Given what I've read...he seems like the type to shoot first and ask questions later..." The A.I. said.
"I'm positive...we just have to avoid being seen by him..." Sally said, flying around the floating island to a point where she was above and behind Kor. She took out a power ring and attached it to Nicole. "Ready."
"Hopefully..." The A.I. said doubtfully.
Sally then threw her directly at the fox, who was busy shooting rockets at Sonic and Tails while his turret drove around doing the same. "Hey Kor!" She shouted.
The fox looked up just in time to see what looked like a lynx falling towards him. "What in the-" Said lynx used the fall to tackle him off the boulder onto the ground, knocking his helmet and weapon away. Nicole was a little dazed from the impact, but now she had a good look at the person she was originally close with. She noted the lack of cybernetics the fox had, but after a quick scan she detected a familiar metal device in his chest. Nicole was then certain that this was definitely Kor. Thinking quickly, she put her PDA in his hand.
Kor felt a surge of energy pass through him as he woke from whatever hit him. Then, he was shocked beyond belief as a wave of flashbacks pummeled his brain. The fox wasn't sure if they were flashbacks or visions from a previous life of his, but they felt important. He remembered everything, killing Gray on Mobius, joining the Knothole Freedom Fighters, building his two best projects, and even...his relationship with Nicole. Kor felt his head spun and held it as a major headache was coming on.
"Ugh...are these visions real?...Did I...did I have a past life I didn't know about?..." The fox said to himself, hand on his forehead due to the pain.
"Are you ok Kor?...Do... do you remember everything?" Nicole asked as she knelt next to the fox. Sally landed next to them.
"I-I think...I'm still tryin' to piece together..." He stopped as his gaze focused on Nicole. Instead of her usual purple toga, she wore a shoulder-less, sleeve-less dress with split tails and was decorated with a small broach. She also wore black pants along with gloves and shoes that had gold and silver cuffs respectively. He also noted that she let her hair down rather than have it in braids, which he found to be rather cute. "N-Nikki?"
Nicole smiled at being called her nickname. "Yes Kor, it's me."
It was then fox fully remembered their past relationship. The fox hugged her tightly and she returned the hug. "I missed you since the day I left to help hunt Eggman...but then, another wave of white hit us, and everything after that is a blur..."
"Everything was reshaped Kor. But, before I can explain, you need call off your robots..." Nicole said sternly.
Kor looked around and saw the battles going on. Any anger he felt before had vanished. Looking around for his helmet, he grabbed it and pressed a button. "Terry, Hornet! Cease fire! Cease fire!" At the same time, both robots broke off their pursuit. Confused, they headed back to their master. Everyone else followed them after seeing their supposed allies stop giving chase.
Once everyone met up, Kor noted all their changes as they did to him. "My brain is still trying to piece everythin' together, but did y'all look a lot different from what I remember." He scratched his head.
"We could say the same to y'all Kor. I noticed you don't have any cybernetics on you, but y'all sure seem to have grown some muscles." Bunnie said with a smirk, causing the fox to blush Antoine to glance awkwardly at his wife.
"Yeah well...I didn't suffer the accidents that would've brought that on..." Kor chuckled nervously. "Sorry about attackin' you guys. I had a beef with Sonic and Tails that I didn't want you guys to get involved in."
"I read it all on the case file we dug up on you..." Sally said.
"Sorry to interrupt but can we take this conversation on the road? Uncle Chuck and Professor Pickle won't save themselves." Sonic said, tapping his foot.
"Oui. We shall be continuing zis aboard ze Sky Patrol." Antoine said, heading back to the Twister.
"What about the Tornado? It's still damaged." Tails said, looking at it then glaring at Kor.
"Sorry 'bout that...HORNET!" The robot sat not too far from them and looked at its master. "Grab the Tornado and take it up to the Sky Patrol."
The robot complied before activating its wings. To everyone's amazement besides Kor, the bot wrapped its legs around the Tornado and easily carried it up. The fox then ordered Terry to break down back into its cube form, something everyone else remembered from their old timeline. Once Kor was ready, he hitched a ride with Sally back up to the Sky Patrol. Both sides had a lot of questions that needed to be answered.
A/N: I'd continue on but I think I'll save it for the next chapter. So as you can see, I skipped around a couple parts in the issues since I don't want to write that in since it'd be too much like the comics. But anyway, as you can see, the heroes have gathered once more, but so many questions need be answered. Why was Kor angry at Sonic and Tails? What happened to him in the past, and how will the heroes rescue Chuck and Pickle? Wait til next chapter to find out.
As stated before, Hornet and the mobile sentry, now known as Terry, appear the same as they did in my first story, though with some slight differences.
Also, the helmet Kor uses is actually a modified version of the Tin 1000 hat for the engineer, and the rocket launcher used is yet another skin made in the Steam Workshop known as The Follower. I use this skin for my Direct Hit, so take it as a heavily modified version of it if you will. I have some doubts about this chapter not being up to par with my original story, but we shall see.
