A/N: Guys? Where are you?

Sword: C'mon...Say it...

Pen:...

What are you doing?

Sword: Trying to get Pen to say something.

Well would you do the disclaimer?

Sword: Yep yep! The author only owns Gauge! The other characters are owned by Sega. Pen! Say it!

Pen: No.

Sword: Please? I'll make out with you if you do.

Well, we'll leave them for a while and find out how everyone is doing.

Chapter 3- An Electrifying Discovery

"You sure this thing is safe?" Gauge asked nervously. Tails and him were in the basement of the fox's workshop, where Tails had hooked several wires onto Gauge in a metal blue chair.

Tails looked up from his computer nearby. "Of course its safe. I'm just scanning you. Its not like I'm testing you on that," he gestured over to a treadmill that had been destroyed.

Gauge gulped. "What happened with that?"

"Oh I was testing Sonic's speed. But it couldn't handle it and...Well, let's just say Sonic woke up later with a bad headache." Tails grinned sheepishly as he turned back to his computer.

"Yeah, that really makes me feel better," Gauge muttered. "By the way, you never told me how you found me."

"Oh well, it was Knuckles who found you," Tails replied. "You were underneath some rubble. We thought you were dead." He flipped some switches on a nearby console.

"Did I look like this?" Gauge indicated his stripes.

Tails nodded. "Yeah. We didn't know what had happened. And the hospital couldn't figure it out either." He typed a command on his computer. "Okay, hold very still."

Gauge heard the computer hum as the fox busily typed away on it, giving a few "Huh"s with a "That's strange" thrown in every once in a while. After several minutes, Gauge looked over. "Well? What's it say?"

Tails looked up from his screen and gave a confused sigh. "Well according to this, you're body seems normal."

"But?"

"But all your cells are...not," he trailed off.

Gauge sighed in frustration at the cryptic message. "How so?"

"Well, if I'm reading this right, your proton and electron count in each cell are all different and completely out of control. Its as if they're embedded wth pure electricity. Not only that, but whatever output your cells are giving off, your nerves are conducting it throughout your body."

Gauge stood up and pulled the computer screen in his direction. "What?" he cried. In the next instant, sparks fizzled from the computer and Gauge felt his nerves tingle more. Almost as if ignited by a fire.

Tails stared at his now blank screen, glancing back at Gauge every few seconds. "What was that?" Gauge asked in a barely audible whisper.

Tails shook his head. "I don't know...but whatever it was, it ruined my computer," he moaned.

Blaze sighed and rubbed her temple in annoyance. "Why is there nobody here that has heard of our kingdom?" she wondered.

Silver shrugged. "Maybe we're further from home than we thought."

"Well...hm?" Blaze cocked an eyebrow in curiousity, causing Silver to follow her gaze to a black hedgehog wit red striped quills nearby, stooping down in the middle of the sidewalk.

Silver turned to Blaze. "Do you know him?"

Blaze shook her head. "I don't think so and yet he reminds me of someone." She began to walk over to the hedgehog as Silver followed in tow.

Shadow growled as he found nothing of interest. G.U.N. had assigned Rouge and him to examine areas where sudden energy spikes had appeared, but so far neither had had much luck.

"Ridiculous," Shadow muttered. "Eggman probably has something to do with it anyway. And we should be looking for him!"

"You there!" a voice behind him called. Shadow spun around to find himself face to face with a silver hedgehog and a lilac cat. "Could you help us?" the cat questioned.

"I'm busy," Shadow answered as he turned his back on them.

"Hey! Don't speak to the princess like that!"

Shadow glanced back to see the silver hedgehog glow with a green aura and standing in a fighting stance. "Princess?" he asked. "Of what?"

"Princess Blaze," the lilac cat answered.

Blaze. Her name rung a bell in Shadow's distant memory of when Tails had mentioned her in an off-handed comment one day. He had proceeded to then tell Shadow about their adventure with her, but Shadow had barely paid any attention, as he had been focusing on more important endeavors.

But, he did recall the young fox saying she was from another dimension. As Shadow thought about it, the idea that maybe these two strangers crossing dimensions would cause the energy spikes seemed to make sense.

"Well Princess," Shadow replied in an almost condecsending manner, "I need you to come to G.U.N.'s headquarters to answer some questions." He took a step toward Blaze, but felt a force hold him back.

"No you won't. Blaze isn't going anywhere. We need to get back to her kingdom," the silver hedgehog told him, as he glowed brighter and had his hand aimed at Shadow.

Shadow frowned and disappeared with great speed before coming up behind the bewildered hedgehog and kicking him. "Don't get in my way."

However, the silver hedgehog spun around and once again took a fighting stance. "Not a chance." Blaze came up to the silver hedgehog and ignited her hands with fireballs.

"Ready Silver?" she asked.

Silver nodded. "Yeah."

A/N: Ok, so sorry that took so long and didn't have Sonic or Amy in it, but I've just gotten a new job and my freaking t key won't work. So every t you see has had to be copy and pasted. Every. Single. Freaking. One.

Sword: C'mon Pen!

Pen: Fine!...lol

Sword: Yay! Now say-

Pen: No!

What is happening to Gauge? Will he fix the computer he broke? Will Silver and Blaze get back home?

Oh hell. Not you again. How did-

Will Shadow win? Will the author get his keyboard fixed? What internet slang will Sword try and get Pen to say next?

I'll try get the next chapter up soon. Here's to hoping!

Sword: C'mon!

Pen: No!
