Tails and I ran toward Eggman's base just as a bright flash of red lit up the the forest and Team Dark, minus Omega, fell through one of Shadow's Chaos Controls.
"Hey, Blue Hedgehog! This is our mission, so scram!" Shadow shouted.
"Ha, Faker. I'd take you any day, but when the fate of Mobius is at stake, can't we just work together for once?" I pleaded, even though I knew what the answer would be.
Rouge fluttered down next to Shadow and put her hands on her hips. "Sorry Sonic, but I only work with Freedom Fighters, if Shadow agrees to it, and they're already on their way."
Crud. Just as I thought things couldn't get any worse
"Blaze! Amy! Cream! I thought you had ditched us for a moment!" Shadow said grimly.
"Sorry." Blaze moaned. "Silver, here, thought it would be a good idea to come with us. We tried to get rid of him, but he stuck to us like glue."
Silver peeked out from behind Amy's beloved hammer, "Sorry but it got boring in the future. Especially since Blaze… It's hard just thinking about it." he sniffed. "She was my best friend."
"What do you mean 'Especially since Blaze, it's hard just thinking about it.' What happened to Blaze? She's right here." I asked. What had happened to Blaze in the future that had traumatized Sliver so much?
"Oh nothing." Silver tried to mumble nonchalanty while wiping tears from his eyes. But I heard him whisper. "Opps. Forgot that the Iblis incident didn't happen yet in this dimensional time line." after the others had turned away. What was the Iblis Incident? What was Sliver keeping from us that was so horrible it made him cry? What happened to Blaze?
"Hey, Hey Sonic? You OK?" I snapped my head down and saw Tails's big blue eyes looking at me concernedly.
"You just started staring off into space." he explained. "But anyways, they're all arguing about if we should work together; us, Team Dark, and Team Rose. Should we?"
Well, we would be a bigger and harder force for Eggman to handle,"Yeah, I don't see why not. If they agree on it. Team Rose?"
Blaze stepped forward. "We're in."
"Team Dark?" I asked Rouge and Shadow.
"Sure. We wouldn't mind a little help would we, Shadow?" Rouge asked, nudging Shadow with her elbow. He just crossed his arms and turned away. "Would we Shadow?" Rouge repeated a little more forcefully.
"Fine." Shadow grumbled. "But don't expect me to be very happy about it."
Cream smiled and said happily "OK, now that everyone's agreed, lets go knock on Mr. Eggman's door, and ask to come in!"
"Um… Cream." Blaze facepalmed herself. "This is important. We can't just…"
"Oh we are NOT getting in like that. No way." Shadow shouted. "That would be infuriating and humiliating. No way. CHAOS CONTROL!" and we all disappeared and when reappeared in Eggman's control room, in front of a very surprised Eggman in a bathrobe, eating waffles. I mean seriously, WAFFLES! No Chili Dogs!
"Why hello. I wasn't expecting company today. Please excuse my outfit." The Doctor said.
"Enough games, Eggman! Where's the weapon?" I yelled.
"What weapon? Oh, you mean this." he said, waving a shiny disk with a glowing blue indentation in the middle. "Yes, it's quite powerful."
"Eggman, let's make a deal. You give that to us, and we don't hurt you. OK?" I asked. What was that thing, and what did it do?
"Sorry Sonic. But no. This little disk is the key to my revenge on all of you." Eggman said, holding the disk close to his chest.
"Whadoya mean it's the key to revenge on us? I thought you were using it on Mobius? We heard from Amy…"
"Ha! That's exactly what I mean! I just leaked that information to GUN and your silly artificial intelligence Nicole so you would all come here. Now time to say goodbye!" Eggman roared, pressing his thumb to the indention in the disk. "Bye, Sonic. Won't miss you!"
"Help!" someone screamed. Maybe it was me. I don't know. All I could feel was a dizzy light-headed feeling as a blast of white light hit me head on. And then I was falling. Falling through nothingness into another world.
