Psion from the Stars
Sonic was talking to Uncle Chuck on his wrist communicator that Tails had made for him as a birthday present.
"Uncle Chuck, you're breaking up." Sonic said, but his wrist watch completely lost the signal. Sonic beat on the wrist communicator in frustration.
"Oh, come on." Sonic stated. "Work you stupid piece of junk." Then, Miles Prowler came in. One of his tails was completely bound up in bandages.
"What is it, Sonic?" Tails asked. The blue blur turned to him.
"Well, it's… Sonic said turning to the young fox. "Holy cow, what happened to your tail?"
"My one tail ended up broken during that fight against the Egg Viper." Tails answered to him. "The doctor said I can't fly until I fully recover."
"Man, that's gotta stink." Sonic replied.
"Yeah, I know." The two-tailed fox answered. "What was the thing you were frustrated about earlier?"
"Oh, the wrist communicator just went to static." The blue blur pointed out.
"That funny, because the communicator I have also gone to static as well." The fox added. "I also have heard from Princess Sally that the computers used for long-distance communication is also acting up too."
"How can something like this happen?" Sonic asked.
"It might have run out of energy." Tails stated. "Didn't I give you a charger or something?"
"Yeah, you gave me a charger." Sonic answered.
"Maybe you forgot to give it some more power." Then, Sonic turned the wrist device on and off.
"Then, why am I getting static every time I'm turning it on?" The blue blur asked.
"I don't know." Tails replied. "Maybe there is a piece in there that went bad."
"So much for an excellent birthday present." Sonic answered.
"I double checked and triple checked the device." Tails answered anxiously. "I have no idea how it could have had such a faulty part in there."
"Can you believe this?" Knuckles said walking into the room. "I was in the middle of ordering a pizza on the phone when it suddenly just turned to static."
"So, it's not the communicator that I gave Sonic." Tails noted. "I didn't even touch the phone, so there must be someone else that is doing this." Then, he turned to the hedgehog. "Sonic, can you go around the city and check for clues for anything suspicious?"
"You got it, little bro." The blue blur replied.
"I'll check to see, if there are any circuits that might have been screwed up." The fox continued.
"Okay, I'll be back before you can say, 'Gotta speed, keed'." Sonic replied as he zoomed out the door.
"I haven't heard him use that expression in a long time." Knuckles commented. "Is he starting to feel nostalgia?"
"It's probably your imagination, Knuckles." Tails answered.
The blue blur ran around the streets of Soleanna. He noticed that all of the phones were unable to work and when he looked at the television sets, they were completely grey static as well.
"Okay, this is completely bizzare." Sonic thought. "It seems as though everyone is having the same problem in Soleanna." Then, he overheard two mobians talking to each other.
"You know what I found earlier today, I saw an unusual character." One of the mobians stated. "This was a character I've never seen around here before."
"How early are we talking about?" the second one asked in response.
"Well, about an hour ago." The first replied. "Over by Café Bohémien, there was a mobian who was an albino."
"Huh, that's somethin' you don't see that every day." The second stated.
"He was talking on some weird communications thing too." The first commented.
"Café Bohémien? That's been closed for renovations." Sonic thought. "It seems I'll be paying that place a visit." The blue blur sped off towards the way of the café.
Amy and Bunny were doing a tarot card reading in Bunny's personal quarters of the villa. Bunny looked rather confused.
"I don't get it." Bunny stated.
"No matter what comes up, it is always is about the thing that you have brought up." Amy responded to her. "Now, let's see what the next card shows…" But then, Amy stopped what she was doing and stood up.
"What is it Amy-girl?" Bunny asked.
"I sense another presence around here." She responded.
"The cards summoned it?" The rabbit asked her in worry.
"No… there is no presence in this room." Amy said. "There is another psychic presence in Soleanna." She paused. "He is more powerful than I, we need to find the other psion."
"What about the readin'?" Bunny asked.
"We can worry about it later." Amy replied. "Let's find Sonic and follow that source."
As Sonic arrived, he saw the outdoor café tables out in the courtyard. There, he encountered another hedgehog. He was a hedgehog with white fur and golden eyes. He sported navy and aqua boots; in addition, his gloves had circular aqua symbols on them.
"I had sensed your arrival." The hedgehog stated. Then, he turned around to face him. "I'm wondering what brings you here."
"That's what I want to ask you." Sonic replied.
"Why I am here is none of your business." He stated.
"Oh, really. I can make it my business." The blue blur stated mocking the stranger.
"You really don't know who I am." The white hedgehog answered. "But I'll change that."
"Then, who are you?"
"I am Silver." The hedgehog said. "And I am the one whom you will learn to fear."
"Well, Mr. Silverpants." Sonic replied. "Don't you know I'm Sonic the Hedgehog?"
"Sonic…" He answered. "I'll have to remember your name as one of my adversaries." He got into a fighting stance. "But now, it'll be time for you to disappear."
"So you're looking for a fight?" Sonic asked. "Challenge accepted."
Silver ran up to him with a kick and Sonic dodged out of the way. The blue blur span around him. "You're too slow." Sonic stated to him, in his cocky attitude.
"I don't need to be fast." Silver remarked. Sonic went towards him with a spindash attack. Then, Sonic was stopped dead in his tracks. The white hedgehog was holding the blue blur in his place. "It's no use." Then, he thrusted him away from him and right into a concrete wall.
"Ow." Sonic grunted. He got up and continued to move around Silver.
"You're still up?" Silver stated. "How about this?" He used psionic powers to lift a table set and chairs. Sonic used a homing attack and hit Silver head on, knocking him down. He dropped the table set. The blue blur moved back.
"That wasn't so hard." Sonic stated. Silver got up and psychically throw the table set at the blue blur. Sonic got a little angry at the white adversary, thus he charged towards him again. Silver stopped him in his tracks with psionics. He hurled him in the air above him. He came down, Silver thrusted him higher into the air. As Sonic came down again, the white hedgehog caught him and blasted Sonic up into the air. The blue blur fell back down making a small hole in the ground. Sonic was on the ground, breathing heavily. Silver walked up to him and psychically lifted him up.
"Looks like I'm the victor." The white hedgehog stated. "And you..." Then, suddenly he flinched and he held his head dropping Sonic. The blue blur took the opportunity he just go and ran for it. Then, Silver looked up and saw that the blue blur had ran off. "What was that? What did he do to me?"
He heard some beeps. Silver pulled out a ball and tossed it on the ground. A hologram of another hedgehog appeared before him. He had white skin and black fur and had green eyes with a red sclera.
"Oh, it's you." Silver stated, his voice turning negative.
"Did you distract them long enough for me to complete my task?" the hedgehog asked.
"I've distracted them, Mephiles." Silver said in annoyance.
"Excellent. You may return to the base for now." Mephiles added.
"I will." The white hedgehog answered. Then, the hologram shut off. Silver looked up towards some of the buildings. "Just who is this Sonic?"
Sonic made it back to Sally's villa; he stopped and started to catch his breath. Then, Bunny and Amy came out.
"Oh Sonic, there you are." Amy stated. "Are you okay?"
"Uh… I ran into someone." Sonic stated with a smug look on his face. "But it's nothing that I can't handle."
"Right." Bunny stated with sarcasm. "Y'all bein' covered in bruises, definitely counts as being able to handle it."
"Oh boy." Sonic groaned.
"Who did you end up fighting with?" Bunny asked. "Eggman? Mogul? Shadow?"
"You had an encounter with another psychic." Amy said.
"How did you know?" Sonic asked.
"His psychic imprint is all over you." Amy pointed out. "I can sense it coming off you. Did you get his name?"
"It was some hedgehog named Silver." Sonic stated.
"He doesn't sound like that much of a challenge." Bunny answered. "Y'all get him next time; just be a little more careful."
"Well, that was embarrassing." The blue blur commented. Then, the communication wrist watch on Sonic buzzed. He pushed down on it.
"Hello?" Sonic asked.
"Hey Sonic, I finally got the thing to work." Tails answered.
"Did you find the source of the problem?" He asked.
"No, it seemed to have disappeared on its own." Tails replied with surprise in his voice. "But I was able to get a copy of the jamming signal by recording it. I would like all of us to look at it."
"Roger that, buddy." Sonic answered.
All of the members of Team Sonic made it to Tails work area in the villa. He had a computer out with a copy of the jamming signal.
"So, what's this thing?" Knuckles asked.
"This is the jamming signal that was causing the difficulty in communication." Tails replied.
"Okay, so it was just in Soleanna?" Sonic asked.
"From what I heard from Princess Sally, this signal was all over the entire planet." The fox continued. "She asked me to analyze the signal to come up with a defense against it." Tails continued to work on it and as he scanned it. "Huh?"
"What is it, Tails?" Amy asked.
"Just listen to this." Tails replied turning up the volume. They heard a sequence of burbles and buzzes. "What do you think it might be?"
"It might be the main body of the jamming signal." Bunny asked.
"Maybe we could test the theory." Knuckles said.
"But I'm going to need some communication device in order for it to work." Tails replied, pulling out his communicator watch and put it on a table. "Preparing to use the jamming signal with this part only." Then, Tails used it on the watch. Knuckles picked it up and used it to call Sonic, the jamming signal didn't work. "Why isn't this part of the signal working?"
"Maybe it's nothing but a message from some distant star system." Knuckles said, jokingly. Then, Tails thought about it.
"This might be crazy, but Sonic can you get me a morse code chart?" Tails asked looking back at the blue blur.
"Okay, be right back." Sonic answered.
"Why the morse code chart?" Bunny asked.
"I'm getting a hunch that Knuckles might be correct on the message from another world part." Tails answered.
"Me, being right on something?" Knuckles asked in shock. "Normally, you just laugh it off as some sort of joke." Then, Sonic returned to the room with the chart the Tails had asked for.
"Here's the chart." The blue blur answered giving Tails the chart. Then, Tails began to try to apply the morse code to the burbles and buzzes. He was shocked.
"It's forming understandable words using this code." The fox stated and he continued to translate until the entire set was translated.
"All of the world you call, Mobius." The message stated. "We are the mighty Black Arms who are now speaking to you. Surrender now to our leader, Black Doom. Any and all resistance will be fruitless; it will be impossible for you to defeat us. Should you refuse to give in, our two great generals will trample over all your forces. We will show a demonstration of our might soon."
"Okay, now we are dealing with hostile aliens." Sonic said. "Things just got a lot more interesting."
"What do we do?" Tails asked Sonic.
"I would like to see them try to take over this planet." Sonic answered.
"I'm in too." Knuckles added.
"We should see on what they may try." Amy said.
