This story takes place after Crystallis' Secret.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Masaki Home, Okayama, Japan. More specific, the labratory of one Washu Hakubi.
The lab had went silent as of recently, seeing as the scientist was working hard on
trying to locate some of her friends, captured by the evil Dr. Eggman. And so far, it
hasn't gone very well.
"Dammit...where are they?!" Washu muttered. "Greatest scientific genius in the
universe and I can't find a bunch of people. Eggman's good..." She sighed and
continued typing on her holotop.
"Little Washu?" a voice called out. Washu turned to see Tenchi standing there.
"Oh...hello, Lord Tenchi." Washu said.
"Any luck?" Tenchi asked.
"*sigh* No...I still can't find them." Washu said. "It's like finding a needle
in a haystack. It was tough to know that Sonic and Lady Ayeka were still on that
Satellite, but when Amy disappeared. Sabian took off after seeing that tape, Sasami
and Ryo-Ohki suddenly disappearing, followed by Tails, it's just too much. It's
worrying me."
"Don't worry, Washu. It'll be okay." Tenchi said.
"Thanks, Lord Tenchi. By the way, how much longer 'til dinner?" Washu said.
"It'll be awhile. It's Mina's turn to cook." Tenchi said.
"Oh, boy...hasn't she learned her lession yet? I'd figured she did when she
accidentally poisioned Shadow." Washu said.
"She's getting the hang of it...slowly, but she is." Tenchi said.
"Alright...I'll be there later, okay?" Washu said.
"No problem." Tenchi said, walking out. After he left, she sighed and left her
holotop and went towards one of her inventions, moreorless inspiried by the Stargate.
"Well, seeing as I won't be able to find them tonight, might as well see if I
can work on another one of my inventions." Washu said. "It's a good thing I found a
suitable power source for this." After starting everything up, she typed in a number
of buttons, setting up her destination. "Welp, here goes nothing!" Flipping the final
switch, the machine kicked on, producing a portal in the middle of the machine's
doorway. "Hopefully, I'll be back in time for dinner." With that, she stepped through
the portal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hoo-kay! I've just entered allergy central." Washu said, arriving at her
destination. It was a city that looked like that it had just went through a war and it
was being rebuilt. There were various races in the city. Anthropomorphic animals,
fish-like humanoids, small mushroom-like creatures, and many others.
"Huh...never thought I'd find a place like this." Washu said, walking through
the city. "Probably more interesting than my world...maybe this still IS my world...
oh, who knows?" As she said that, a blue streak zipped past her. "Hmm? Sonic?!" The
streak stopped and ran back to her. "Sonic?! Is that you?!"
"Huh...you know me, but I know squat about you!" Sonic said. Washu blunk twice,
then noticed something different about him: his shoes. The Sonic she knew wore those
SOAP shoes.
"Hmm...defenantly different from my world's Sonic." Washu muttered.
"Your world..." Sonic sputtered. "Hoo, boy..." Just then, someone else joined
the two. He was a 26-year-old with blonde hair and moustache. Besides his glasses and
the clothes he wore, he also wore what appeared to be a high-tech packback attached
to a breastplate. In the center of the plate was a strange medalion. "Oh...hey,
Anthony!"
"Hey, Sonic! What's..." Anthony said, stopping in mid-sentance as he saw Washu.
He took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Sonic, tell me there isn't
a pink-haired girl standing in front of us?"
"Want me to lie to you?" Sonic said.
"Is there something wrong about have the Greatest Scientific Genius in the
Universe grace your presence?" Washu said.
"Good grief. She has an ego!" Sonic said.
"Like you don't?!" Washu and Anthony said at the same time. The two looked at
each other and blinked.
"IIIII think we need to go somewhere and talk..." Anthony said.
"Good idea." Washu said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the two headed elsewhere, the two ended up conversing. Washu learned of where
she was, namely Mobotropolis on the planet Mobius, who Anthony was, and what the
deal was with this planet, namely being part of a bunch of worlds known as Arcadia.
Pretty soon, the two reached the War Room of Castle Acorn.
"Alright, I can pretty much figure out who you are, Washu..." Anthony said.
"Now, mind talking about your world?"
"Certainly, Gamemaster..." Washu said.
"Please, don't call me that..." Anthony said.
"Okay, accountant..." Washu said.
"Don't call me that, either." Anthony said, half glaring.
"Fine, Anthony." Washu said. "Anyway, the world I come from can be technically
called 'AniEarth'."
"'AniEarth', Washu?" Anthony said. "You mean, there's more than people like
Tenchi and Sonic?"
"Yep...I haven't really counted, but there are a number of heroes throughout our
world...and universe."
"Woah..." Anthony said. "Anything else?"
"*sigh* Yeah, we have our fair share of villiany..." Washu said.
"Something wrong?" Anthony asked, senseing a bit of distress from Washu.
"Yeah. A few months ago, an evil scientist, Dr. Eggman capture a bunch of our
friends and I've been searching for them since. From what I understand, he's been
making them read bad fanfics..." Washu said.
"Kinda figured there would be a Robotnik in your world...but he's making them
read fanfics? A MSTing project, you mean?" Anthony said. "Huh...I thought that went
out when Pearl Forrester gave up."
"Nope. She's back at it, as well...along with a few others." Washu said.
"Hmm...it looks like we got a big problem here." Anthony said.
"I know...if I could only find where they went to, I could try to help them
out."
"You know, I could help you out..." Anthony said. "I doubt I can really find
them, but I know I can help free them."
"Really?" Washu said.
"Of course! I mean, I helped free this world from its Robotnik, although a few
say I did it myself..." Anthony said.
"Heh..." Washu said, smirking. "Thank you, Anthony. Well, if you don't mind,
could you show me around the rest of Arcadia?"
"No problem!" Anthony said. "Where to first?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty soon, Anthony was showing Washu across Arcadia, meeting up with some of
those worlds' heroes. Neo-Earth and Earth were the biggest problem spots with the two.
With Earth, they had to deal with the Washu fans, either making her ego grow or
giving her a headache. On Neo-Earth, it was either trying to pull her off of some of
Dr. Light's devices or getting her to turn Bass back to normal when she turned him
into a kappa for calling her a shrimp.
"Well, Washu, what do you think?" Anthony said.
"Well, half of the worlds is stuck in the Middle Ages, the other almost look
like AniEarth and the other's my personal favorite. I gotta admit Arcadia is a pretty
interesting place." she said.
"Heh...glad you like it." Anthony said.
"Well, as much as I like to stay here and have fun, I gotta get back. Dinner
should be ready." Washu said.
"No problem. Come back whenever you feel like." Anthony said.
"You know I will...heheheh..." Washu said, going towards the portal back to her
lab. As it closed, Anthony let out a sigh.
"If she comes back, it's going to be REAL soon!" Anthony said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As she returned to her lab, Washu watched as her portal doorway started smoking.
"Uh-oh!" Washu said. She rushed towards a fire extinguisher and put out the
fire. "Great, there goes the power source. That's going to take me awhile to repair
that." As she went towards the lab door, she noticed her holotop was still on, and it
said that she had a message. "Hmm?" Going back to it, she typed on it a bit and began
reading the message, which read:
Little Washu,
It's me, Tails! Finally broke through some of Eggman's security and got to you.
I'm not the only one captured. A whole bunch of others are here. Sonic, Ayeka, Sasami,
Vegeta, Zero, and a few others Yugi brought up! I'm on board the Absolution. Yeah,
can't you believe it? I figured you'd want to know where we are so you can help us!
You gotta get us down!
Tails
PS: Here's a picture of who's here along with some stuff I swiped from Ashura's files!
He's the red hedgehog!
Washu checked out the picture on the file. Her eyes went wide seeing some of the
people here.
"Heh...I reconize the hedgehog. He was at that swimsuit contest. One of the
judges." As she looked at the files, she noticed they were all stories. His stories.
Stories that actually happened. The Metal Ryoko crisis, the KAIN attack, the Twin
Towers attack, the triple Sonic problem, all of them. "Hmm...I remember Anthony
mention that they did those...MSTings...as well. I wonder..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Sonic's house, he was reading some fan mail he got from Earth.
"Ah, my public..." he said. He, then noticed a letter from a female fan. "WOAH!
Didn't realize she loved me THAT much! And I thought Amy was lovesick over me..."
Sitting the letter aside, he saw a letter that caught his attention.
It read "Can you MiST?" The person who wrote it? Well, it said Ashura...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nyeheheheheh...try to outsmart me, huh, Eggman?" Washu said. "Oh, you'll
regret that." Washu said. With that, she began laughing maniacally. Mina Mongoose,
looking in, shuddered in fear.
"I...uh...tell her dinner's ready later..." she said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Notes:
---------------
Now, you're wondering why I wrote this, aren't you? It's simple. It was never
fully explained. It was like the Arcadians already knew of AniEarth. I just had to
change it...took me about a year or so to do so.
