Sonic had used the Warp Ring to transport him, his friends, and the band of aliens to New Mobotropolis. After convincing Princess Sally that the intergalactic visitors proved no harm, they were invited to stay at Castle Acorn, so long as they were properly watched after.

The Seedrians and a few of the Bem took the opportunity to relax in the lounge or in spare bedrooms after their long trip. The Bem High Council meanwhile were asked to converse with the Royal Acorn family in the War Room to discuss the situation and why they had come to Mobius.

"As Sonic may have mentioned to you," Ceneca-10050, the highest magistrate, explained to Sally and her brother, King Elias, "Our home planet, Argentium, has suddenly became a battle field between the two alien factions, the Xorda and the Black Arms."

The hedgehog nodded in agreement. He and his friends had been there to rescue Tails' parents, only to be caught in the ongoing battle between the two races.

"Unfortunately, all of our resources had been heavily destroyed due to the war between Xorda and Black Arms," Ceneca-10050 continued, "This included our modes of transportation, our inventions… our entire society."

"In other words, your ships were out of order, and you couldn't use your Artificial Wormhole," said Sonic.

The Ceneca nodded. "Even if we could, we would dare not risk using it. We've caused so much trouble in the past from the accidental extinction of the Biotex, to the whole derobotization situation here on Mobius. We got here as safely as we could, even though it took us nearly forever."

"So with your ships out of commission," spoke Elias, "How did you manage to get here?"

"Since the war, we Bem were forced to put aside any and all differences," said Ceneca-10050, "Which included forgiving Ceneca-9009's well-intentioned crimes. With our civilization on the brink of destruction, we all had to band together in order to survive.

"Although many of our sisters were mortally wounded, fortunately so were Xorda and Black Arms members. In order to survive, we had to salvage as much technology as we could. Thanks to our mechanical expertise, lead by non-other than our very own Ceneca-9009, we had managed to put together two refugee space ships to carry our survivors to another world."

"How did you manage to fly past enemy radar?" asked Elias.

Ceneca-10050 lowered her head. "We knew the risks of trying to escape without capture," she explained, "Aside from our refugee ships, we also rebuilt many of the enemy crafts…. Our sister Bems volunteered to stay behind and distract the tyrants so that our two ships could make our escape."

"Whoa, whoa, hold on a sec," Sonic interrupted, "TWO?"

"Yes… As I said, it was a great risk…. And only one ship managed to escape. Ours."

"My mother and sister were on the other ship!" one of the Bem suddenly jumped up in tears, crying out. "I begged everyone to go back and try to save them, but-!"

"Ceneca-4175, please restrain yourself!" barked Ceneca-10050.

"But our families! We can't just abandon them!"

Another Ceneca took hold on her shoulders. "Please calm down."

Ceneca-4175 simmered down, though she still trembled with fear.

"So without the wormhole, how did you find Mobius?" asked Sally.

"Ceneca-9009 remembered the coordinates to Mobius," the high-council replied, "Though without our wormhole, it was much longer."

"What about the enemies?"

"I assure you. They did not follow us."

One seedrian, the only one there, long bright teal hair, a flower on top of her head, and a long white dress, let out a sigh of relief. Sally took notice. "And you? Tell us your story, if you don't mind."

The seedrian gave a small bow. "I am Earthia of Green Gate," she spoke, "Years ago, the Black Arms had invaded our home world. The battle between them and my people left our world devastated. I… I could not bear history repeating itself."

"Cosmo told us you guys got killed by the Metarex," said Sonic, "How's it you guys are alive and here?"

"When seedrians die, they leave behind their core seeds, which if properly taken care of, can grow into plant life. My daughter, Galaxina, had explained how the Metarex found our space colony and destroyed us… Fortunately, the Bem had found us on their way to Mobius."

"Aside from space ships," Ceneca-10050 added, "We managed to repair most of the enemy technology… and this included an Amplification Chamber from the Xorda. After detecting a small form of life in the bodies of the Seedrians, we used them chamber to bring them back, giving them a second chance at life."

"And we are deep in gratitude for your actions," Earthia smiled.

"Fine and dandy!" Ceneca-4175 jumped up once more, "But what about the lives our OUR kind? The ones left behind?!"

"Sister Bem, you are out of line!" Ceneca-10050 shouted, "Restrain yourself, or else!"

"But isn't that why we came here?!" Cenceca-4175 cried, "To ask the great hero of Mobius to help us?"

The high magistrate lowered her head once more. Sonic could feel a favor coming on. "Indeed…" she murmured. "We planned to seek refuge on a more peaceful planet. But since our sisters were captured by the enemy…" She looked up at the hedgehog, "We set courses to your world, knowing you, Sonic, great hero of Mobius, would find a way to help rescue our sisters!"

"We're very sorry," spoke Sally, "But… unless you're prepared to make another long journey across the universe once more, I'm afraid there is little we can do for your people."

Cenceca-10050 cleared her throat. "And you, Sonic?"

The hedgehog grinned. "I know of ONE way!"

Sally narrowed her eyes. "And what's that?"

"Be right back!" Sonic raced out of the War Room, and as fast as he left, he had already returned, a small ring between his fingers. "This little baby! Great for getting around!"

"A Warp Ring?" Elias questioned.

"Yup," Sonic twiddled with it, "If Silver could use it to travel between time and space, I don't see how we can't use it to travel THROUGH space. All we need to do is concentrate on where exactly we want to go, and bada-bing, bada-boom, we're there! Genius, right?"

"Genius, WRONG," said Sally .

Sonic stopped twiddling. "Wrong?"

"Weren't you listening?!" Sally barked, "The Bem had made it clear that there's a WAR going on in their planet! If we open a Warp Ring on the Wheel World, we may as well roll out the carpet for the Xorda and Black Arms to come and destroy OUR world as well."

Sonic looked defeated. "Ohhh… Didn't think about that…"

"Well, thinking never was your strong suit…"

"But what other choice do we have?!" cried Ceneca-4175, "Our families- our SISTERS- they're trapped by the Xorda! We have to save them! Please!"

"Sister Bem," ordered Ceneca-10050, "Please escort Ceneca-4175 out until she calms her nerves."

Another Bem took the Ceneca by the arm and led her out the room. "But my sister! My mother! We MUST do something! Hero of Mobius, PLEASE! Do something!"

"Don't worry, we'll think of something!" Sonic called over as she was led out the room.

Sally sighed. "We'll do what we can, but we can't make any promises," she said, "Sonic, please return the Warp Ring to the vault. And do NOT do anything stupid along the way."

Sonic sighed. "I hear ya. But I meant what I said… I WILL think of something."
