A/N: Hello, everybody. So, I'm a new guy to this fandom and this is my first Sonic story owo Hopefully, it won't be the only one. Please inform me if the characters are too OOC or if anything seems wrong/confusing to you :D

This story is set in between season two of Sonic X, after Chaos has been destroyed by Super Sonic.

Some names may be picked out from the Sonic comics due to lack of any references from the anime.

"The gem amber is a powerful healer that gives the person who wears it a lovely sense of health and healing. It balances the emotions, clears the mind, releases negative energy, aids manifestation, eases stress by clearing phobias and fears... and it is a lovely warmstone to wear.

The beautiful amethyst crystal is one of the stones that embody the energy of the violent flame. It is a potent stone for spiritual healing and growth... and to aid you to beat addictions. This is a potent spiritual healing method using a powerful energy overseen by the Ascended master, St. Germaine."

Prologue.

How the Great Forest could have changed so thoroughly over one single ordinary night went beyond everything she knew. It shouldn't even be possible, according to the statistics and her own sense of rational thoughts and inner theories. But the scenario displayed in front of her told her a whole different story and she was forced to admit it, even though her intelligent mind couldn't fully comprehend it yet.

Somehow, she and her home had been travelling inter-dimensionally to a whole other planet.

At first the thought occurred to her that perhaps it was just a matter of time; that she had simply gone back or forward in time and would have explained why The Great Forest no more looked like itself. She had memorized every single spot of the blooming area, especially after mapping the entire forest for safe and cautious reasons. 'Better to be safe than sorry', was a saying that she commonly heard her mind tell her and she was a young girl who always took precautions. Now, she practically didn't know where she was any longer, the fact hitting her so hard that she trapped herself inside the familiar and comfortable surroundings of her tree-house and kept pacing around the work-room for several of hours whilst her mind worked countless of questions.

The theory about time-travel vanished into thin air as soon as the girl realized that she wasn't even on Mobius anymore. Venturing out of the alien forest only made her stand face to face with creatures without any fur whatsoever. Or tails. Or even proper ears! The result was immediate; she locked herself inside her home for the next two days before she calmed down.

The question now lingered; what would she do? She had no idea who these strange creatures were, or if they were more likely to enslave or simply dispose of her than welcome her into their society.

Amberlee was way ahead of them. Safety is always a first priority, she often told herself.

Spending hours inside of her work-room, she finished sketches and blueprints of newly designed robotic security guards whose task were to protect her home at costs. She could take care of herself just fine. Always had, always did and always would. The Mobian girl passed a large picture that hung with pride before her sketching-table that always added a tiny but countable boost of inspiration, encouragement or simply energy to her system and a fire burning in her eyes. The man who she was certain had built a hidden laboratory inside a large oak that somehow, only she was able to enter.

The man who she may have thought could be her grandfather, if her past hadn't been so clouded with nothing but memories of herself struggling to survive. Family members were as big as mystery to her as life itself, but it did explain something. And that was good enough. The slightly aged squirrel with rick dark-brown fur, wearing a white lab-coat and a pair of small glasses on the tip of his nose. Every invention she created was not only an advantage to herself, but also to feel as sort of pride in her accomplishments.

As if someone was truly watching her and that the only thing she wanted was to make him proud from wherever he was. It was indeed odd, but it worked for her. It would soothe her when she was often reminded of how lonesome she was, and the thoughts that occurred the young squirrel that she would always be alone. From the day she was born with no guardian whatsoever till the day she would close her eyes and draw the final breath.

Her large tail curled in the grimness that was reality. The horrible reality.

Gripping extra hard on the handle of the pipe wrench, Amberlee turned the last bolt tightly and took off her goggles, placing them away between her ears that were fully outstretched in anticipation. Reaching over at the metallic table, she grabbed a small control device that had a few command buttons and small lever. The squirrel closed up her first robot and was rewarded with simple motions of the guard in response to her commands.

Mass-producing them and modifying their actions and commands to something more advanced (attacking, defending) would not be an issue if she just had time. And really, time was something she had too much of. When her security robots were ready to be launched into action, the only thing left to do was hitching them all to an assembled communication platform so she would be able to issue commands at any given time. Also, not a problem.

While she was building her security guards, a thought struck her in the middle of her working. Why not build a tiny surveillance device so you can infiltrate your enemies' base? No physical approach and a chance to get some useful information. If it failed, she could always go back to the drawing-board.

And to think, it took her two weeks to think of something that simple.

Sometimes it was hard to accept that she had an IQ of 140.

After the robots had successfully been perfected and had each been give an exact position to stay in, Amberlee began on constructing a miniature camera with an inbuilt recorder that looked like any ordinary fly that took the remains of the day to finish. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and stifling a tired yawn, the squirrel hurriedly punching in the command codes for the spy-fly and was pleased to see its mechanic wings starting to buzz with life as it took off. Now with the fly gone, Amberlee could manually navigate it with the help of her computer.

Through the screen, she could see the bug roaming the unknown quarters of the forest, its tiny vision making the land around it seem much mightier. It stretched way further than she recalled; she saw lakes, birds, small mammals and even a few predators. Then, as she navigated the bug further, she could see the enemy's territory. To be frank, it wasn't anything from what she had expected when she first encountered one of their species for the first time.

The land seemed so…civilized in a good way, not at all the cold-hearted environment she had predicted or the primal world of slaves and their rulers that she had imagined. Tall buildings could easily be spotted, the sky as blue and fresh as water and the population of the unknown species that had terrorized her from first glance were roaming down below, completely unaware of her spy's presence and seemed busy with their own lives and work. Everyone seemed rather content and not at all bothered by the fact that none sported a tail, or wings, or horns or even a simple ting as fur on their bodies. It seemed so odd, but that just showed just how different their species were.

Amberlee let the tension fade away from her body in this new revelation that she had seen, and was more than relieved to know that these beings seemed decent and rather technologically advanced in this world. Perhaps she could approach them and gather some more information about this new planet, which could bring her one step closer to how she was to bring herself home again. The Mobian squirrel commanded the fly to return to the base in order for her to further the video she had recorded, but as it flew through the dozens of trees on its way, it collided with something. Amberlee managed to get a view of a red blur before the signal was crashed and realized that she was not alone in the forest any longer.

A/N: He, the first chapter might be a little short (and perhaps confusing) but it'll all be explained in the next chapter. Please read and review, I plan to make a lot of Sonic stories and some lovely comments, or constructive critic (if its needed) would not hurt me at all :D

P.S. The cover picture features a sketch of my OC. If you'd like, you can view it in full size on my profile.
