Sash Lilac stared Lord Brevon in the eyes as her eyes filled with burning rage. She then revved up and blasted Full Force at Brevon straight into the wall.
"NOBODY… HURTS… MILLA!" She shouted as Brevon screamed in pain, before finally collapsing onto the ground. Lilac stepped back panting and looked at what she had done. "I hope I never have to do anything like that again…" she said as she turned around to leave, only for an alarm to go off.
"WARNING! SYSTEM FALIURE! ALL SYSTEMS SHUTTING DOWN!" Lilac gulped and ran full force out of the room. As she ran, she turned her head to see that a massive sphere was appearing behind her, growing massive in size and sucking everything inside it!
"OH NO OH NO OH NO!" she shouted, before revving up and blasting full force down the hallways before finding Carol, Milla, and Torque. "Come on!" she said as she picked Carol's bike off the ground and gave it to them. "Weve gotta get outta here before this place explodes!" Carol nodded and jumped onto her bike with Torque as Lilac picked Milla up in her arms and turned towards Carol.
"Lets go already!" Carol said as she revved her bike and started zooming down the hallways. Lilac nodded and after firming her grip on Milla, ran after Carol. Torque held onto Carol as he opened a blue print he got of the Dreadnought.
"IF WE FOLLOW THIS HALLWAY TOWARDS THE END, THERE SHOULD BE AN ESCAPE POD WE CAN USE TO GET BACK DOWN TO AVALICE!" Torque shouted as Carol and Lilac nodded in response.
"ILL GO ON AHEAD SO NOTHING BLOCKS YOUR PATH!" Lilac shouted as she began picking up speed. She soon overtook Carol as she noticed giant slabs of metal began to crash around them. Without even thinking, Lilac began dodging the slabs left and right, moving too quickly for the naked eye to see! Carol began bopping and weaving as she tried to keep up with Lilac. But Lilac just kept running until a giant slab fell between her and the final stretch. With all her might, Lilac jumped up and kicked a massive hole into the slab for them to get through. As she landed, she turned her head to notice the massive sphere was growing closer and closer to them.
"COME ON, WERE ALMOST OUTTA TIME!" she yelled as she took off down the hallway before finally reaching the escape pods. Carol and Torque skidded to a stop as Torque opened up one of the pods and ran inside with Carol and Lilac still carrying Milla following.
"Firing all engines!" Torque said as everyone strapped in. The escape pod engines suddenly came to life as it shot down to the planet below. Lilac and Carol looked out the back window and gasped as the Dreadnought was finally consumed by the massive sphere. Then, before their very eyes, the sphere began to show massive rings of energy and turn pitch black. The girls jaws dropped at the sight, not sure how to feel about it.
3 Hours Later
Lilac and Torque sat around a campfire they had built as Carol ran out of the nearby tent they had set up. "SHES AWAKE!" Carol shouted as Lilac shot up and ran inside. Torque smiled as Lilac left, then looked up towards the night sky to see the sphere up there and frowned.
'This wont be over until that thing is shut' Torque thought to himself and walked inside the tent. He smiled again as he saw Lilac hugging Milla tightly as the young girl was crying after the mutation Brevon had used on her.
"Its ok. Your fine now" Lilac said rubbing her back as Milla began to calm down.
Lilac and Torque stepped outside and sat back down looking up at the sphere. "So whats going to happen now?" Lilac asked referring to the sphere. Torque got up and walked over to the escape pod.
"Im going back up there to see why that thing hasn't vanished yet, and hopefully find out what happened to the Kingdom Stone." He said as Lilac faceplamed.
"That's right… we lost the Kingdom Stone… We need to get that back and quick!" she said walking over to the pod as well. Torque nodded and began to work on the ship only to look at the snow covered ground.
"Uh… Lilac, is snow supposed to do that on your planet?" he asked as Lilac looked down only to jaw drop. The snow began to vanish, and began to become metal.
"No… This CANT be good" Lilac said as she looked up at the Sphere above the planet, knowing this was somehow linked to what was happening.
MEANWHILE
A humming sound was heard as a flying pod flew through the desert canyon only for a blue hedgehog with blue arms, sports tape around his arms, gloves, legs, and shoes, and a bandana around his neck, to come right after it. "YOU CANT LOSS ME EGGHEAD!" Sonic shouted as Eggman turned around and yelled angrily at the annoyance behind him.
"EGGMAN! YOU KNOW MY NAME IS DR. EGGMAN! YOU DO THAT ON PURPOSE!" Eggman shouted as the speedster following him smirked and said
"DO WHAT EGGHEAD?" Eggman rounded a corner and flew over a giant hole, hoping Sonic would fall in. Sonic however began running up the canyon wall and jumped off, before smashing into Eggman with a Homing Attack. Eggman screamed as he flew off into the horizon, while Sonic landed on the ground brushing himself off.
"Man, that was to easy. Wonder what Tails is up to." Sonic said to himself and blasted off back home. Suddenly, Sonic's stomach growled and Sonic patted it.
"Sure hope Tails got some chili dogs!" he said as he activated his Sonic Boost and rocketed ahead. Unbeknown to him, a massive vortex opened up above Mobius as a giant space ship fell out of it and crashed landed onto the island. As the dust settled, one of the hatches on the ship were punched off as Lord Brevon stomped out of the ship and looked around. Looking behind him, he noticed Syntax hovering over to him.
"Syntax… where exactly ARE we?" Brevon sneered at her as she begun to scan the area.
"SCANS SHOW THE AREA TO BE THE PLANET AVALICE, HOWEVER, THE TIME SHOWS WE ARE 200 YEARS INTO THE PAST" the computer said blandly as Brevon turned around rubbing his chin.
"The past huh?"
PRESENT DAY
Lilac and Torque looked around as Milla and Carol ran out of the tent noticing the ground changing as well.
"Whats going on?" Milla asked as the entire area started becoming more and more metallic and dangerous. Lilac looked up and pointed at the sphere.
"I don't know, but I DO know its gotta have something to do with that thing up there!" The others nodded their heads in agreement as Torque opened back up the escape pod.
"Care for another space adventure ladies?" he said as he climbed in. The girls ran inside the ship and strapped in. They flew over Avalice and looked back at the planet in shock. They watched as massive army camps and factories appeared out of nowhere, as lakes and rivers turned from blue to a toxic green. They then saw the palace as it became a fortress of pure evil.
"No… whats going on?" Carol asked in fear as they neared the sphere.
"I don't know… but you girls might want to take a look at this!" Torque said as the girls looked forward and gasped. The sphere had become a massive vortex with spinning energy beams around it as a black void filled the center.
"It looks like were gonna have to go into the vortex if were to find out whats happening to Avalice!" Lilac said walking over to Torque.
"Punch it!" she commanded as Torque nodded and floored the Pod into the vortex.
Everyone looked around them in the black void thinking this was a huge mistake, before suddenly, they noticed what looked to be giant gears floating around. Suddenly, the gears began to shift and turn, as what looked like giant clock hands started spinning around. The group watched in amazement at what was happening around them. Were they inside a giant clock? Before long, they noticed the gears began to disappear as they saw what appeared to be solar flares flying around them, but blue.
"Girls… I think that was no ordinary vortex… I think… were traveling through time!" Torque said as the girls watched planets and stars begin to change and fly right past them before finally exiting the time vortex. Lilac looked at where the vortex had taken them and shook her head. It was… Avalice… but, much younger than when she saw it a few hours ago.
"Did… Did we travel back in time?" she said as Torque looked at the computer clock.
"Indeed. About 200 years into the past in fact." He said to which Lilac stepped back in shock.
"You mean… were back to before Avalice was known as Mobius?" she asked. Torque looked at her in confusion.
"Avalice went by a different name?" he asked.
"Indeed. This might also be around the time of our ancestors…" She said.
Torque flew the pod down to the planet before asking "just who are your ancestors anyways?"
Lilac replied "Carol and I are descendants to two of Mobius's greatest heroes." Carol stepped forward and added "Im a descendant from Tails, a fox with two tails, and Lilac is obviously a descendant from the planets greatest and FASTEST hero, Sonic the Hedgehog."
Torque turned to them as they landed and said "if that's the case, you two better not interact with them. Who knows what kind of problems could happen if they found out you were descendants to them!" Lilac nodded and stepped out of the pod and looked around at the calm beach before her.
"So this is what Avalice looked like 200 years ago…" She said in wonder. She then noticed a small beach house a few miles away. "Hey, Im gonna check that place out, see if someone can point us to town!" she said as she ran over to it. Carol and Milla stepped out as well as Torque began to shut the pod down.
"This might take a few minutes. Might be best for you to join Lilac girls." He said. Carol nodded and jogged after Lilac while Milla ran after on all fours. Lilac skidded to a halt at the huts door and knocked.
"Hello? Is there anyone here?" she said stepping inside. The place was very small, saying that only person lived here. She walked over to some pictures and stopped dead in her tracks. The pictures showed her Ancestor, Sonic, chilling out with his friends!
"Uh-Oh, I better get outta here!" she said, only to hear footsteps walking up.
Sonic jogged over to his shack patting his stomach as it growled more. "Man, might need to stop at my place to eat instead of going to Tails' place." He said chuckling as he began walking to his front door. He suddenly heard what sounded like somebody inside his house.
"Uh-Oh, I better get outta here!" the voice said, sounding like a girl. Sonic walked up to his door and looked inside to see what appeared to be a purple dragon girl wearing a blue jumpsuit with blue gloves and boots staring back at him as she gulped.
"Can I help you with something?" Sonic said seriously as a green wildcat and a cream-colored young dog ran up behind him only to skid to a halt.
"Uh-Oh" the wildcat said. Sonic looked back to the two girls, then to the dragon.
"Would someone care to explain why you three are snooping around me house?" Sonic said as Lilac started sweating.
"Uh…. Gotta run!" she said before jumping past Sonic and suddenly taking off down the beach!
"Wait… Someone else can move just as fast as me?" Sonic said before shaking his head. "You two stay here, while I have a chat with your friend." He said before boosting down the beach after Lilac. Carol and Milla turned towards one another as Milla said "this doesn't look good…"
