The fear. The cries of pain. The image of innocent people dying before
his very eyes. The bloodshed. The fierce battle. The horror. He
watched all of this, tears streaming down his face. He saw Shadow, now
an old man, gasp for breath. He ran over to see him. He cried as he
knew that Shadow's life was fading.

"Take this..." Shadow whispered as he wrapped the figures hand around
a chaos emerald he had taken out. "Stop him. Stop him, Whirl! Flee! Go
to the past, before Shifter is created. Before this bloodbath
restarts..." He gasped as he looked to the sky. "Goodbye, Whirl..."

The figure clutched the emerald. He swore for revenge. He raised the
emerald above his head.

"Chaos... CONTROL!"

Time: 2:08 AM

Location: Outside New Mobotropolis

Whirl snapped his eyes open. The memories just flooded through his
head. He looked around. He stood on the top of a grassy hill. It
appeared that he had teleported back in time. Well, at least something
worked. He wasn't sure if he would like doing this or not. But he knew
that if he didn't do it, then the future would be crushed. He sighed
as he looked around. He seemed to have arrived in the middle of the
night. He could see many more grassy hills rolling across the horizon
in the moonlit night. City lights could be seen casting a glow behind
the hills in the distance. To his right a thick jungle could be seen.
The calls of birds were heard within, along with a stream, as if it
was trying to tell you a secret within the deep jungle.

Whirl was a light blue hedgehog, along with some streaks of navy blue.
His spikes looked like a combination of Shadow and Silver's spikes,
resulting in a somewhat messy appearance. On his chest was a patch of
white fur. He also wore inhibitor rings on his wrists. His dark
crimson eyes gazed at the surrounding attack, expecting anything to
happen. Well, except for what was about to happen.

"You've got a lot of nerve, time-warping like that."

Whirl jumped in suprise. He spun around to see what appeared to be a
figure floating down from a cut in reality.

The figure was a black male hedgehog looking very similar to Shadow.
In fact, he looked identical to Shadow. The only difference was that
this hedgehog was completely black, along with a tan oval stomach.
Practically everything he wore was black. He had a black hoodie, black
glasses, black fingerless gloves, and black and white sneakers. He
appeared to be around fifteen years old. He was going over what
appeared to be information on a tablet device. He looked up at Whirl.

"You Whirl the Hedgehog?"

"...Yes..." Whirl said, not sure what was going on.

"How old are you, kid?"

"Seventeen." Whirl said impatiently. "And who are you to call me a
kid? You're like what... thirteen?"

"Fifteen." the black hedgehog corrected. He then motioned to himself.
"The name's Michael Dawson, but you can call me 'Darkness'. I'm also
the leader of the Zone Cops, and you just time-warped without proper
notice. You also dragged two mobians along with you. This could lead to an arrest."

"I never saw two mobians!" Whirl growled.

"Heh. Thats 'cause you just got here, bro. Now, I'm going to need to
see the device you used for time travel."

Whirl rolled his eyes and presented the yellow chaos emerald to
Darkness, who lifted an eyebrow at seeing this.

"Chaos Control, eh?" Fine, thats okay, I'll let you go this time. But your going to need to do
something about your 'guests'."

Whirl turned to see two figures behind him, both lying on the ground.
One was a sky-blue male hedgehog with two white stripes going down his
middle quill. He had emerald green eyes and white fur on his chest. He
wore white gloves with purple lines on them, dark red shoes with small
studs on the sides, and gold inhibitor rings on his wrists, ankles,
and neck.

The second one was a female wolf wearing a short-sleeved red tunic,
gray tights, and a grey belt. She also had grey boxing gloves on,
along with red ugg boots. This was the figure that Whirl and Darkness
approached first.

"Hey, wake up!" Whirl growled, nudging his foot on her shoulder. The
wolf jumped up with a start.

"Where am I?!" She demanded. "Did anyone survive?"

"Well, we did." Whirl said while thinking. "You must be from the same timeline
I'm from. I've traveled back in time to stop Shifter before he's created.
You must have gotten dragged along with me."

The wolf looked at him, frightened. "I-Is Shifter S-Still here?"

"No." Darkness said, "Whoever your talking about, I dont know. But if
my readings are correct, You have warped back long before this
'Shifter' of yours was created." he read more information about the wolf on his tablet device. Her name was apparently "Unova". Whirl moved over to the blue hedgehog and roughly shook him awake. Unlike Unova, this mobian woke up calmly.

"Where... am I?" He asked. Whirl said the same thing he had explained
to Unova. This hedgehog, however, just got more confused.

"Shifter? Whose that? The last thing I remember doing was saying
goodnight to my parents..." the hedgehog said.

"How did you not see it? The world was destroyed!" Unova said as she
clenched her hands, a tear rolling down the side of her face. "That...
That monster killed Sonic, Silver, Blaze, Tails, and everyone else..."

"WHAAAAAT?" The hedgehog demanded. "Silver and Blaze... are my parents!"

Whirl's jaw dropped. "Are you kidding? I saw them die before my eyes!"

Darkness stepped in. "Lets not argue." he said. He turned to
Whirl. "I believe he is from a timeline a whole generation ahead of
you, somehow he got dragged along as well."

Whirl nodded. An awkward silence took place for about five minutes,
until the hedgehog broke it.

"Um, my names Eclipse." he said nervously. The others nodded.

"If your going to stop Shifter before he's created, how would you do it?"
Unova asked Whirl.

Darkness answered for her. "According to my zone tracking system, we
are near the Freedom Fighter base. We could get help there." He then
took out a small radio. "Zonic, you there?" he asked into it.

"Yes sir." a reply cackled through the radio.

"Do you know where the F.F. Base is?"

"Outside New Mobotropolis. Head towards the lights." The answers were
short, but they told Darkness what he needed to know.

"Alright, you three, follow me." Darkness said as he pointed at
Eclipse, Unova, and Whirl.

"W-Where are we going?" Eclipse asked.

"Looking for help." Darkness replied. "Oh, and Whirl, I want you to
tell me more about this situation."

A/N: Okay, short chapter, I just needed to get the time warp scene out of my head.

Scorch: Hey, where are we in this chapter?
