Okay, so this is where our story really takes off.
See, Dr. Eggman was sure he will have total control over the worlds in the universe. But Joshua was kind of a tough sell - he didn't want or couldn't let Eggman go through the whole 'Villain takes over the whole Multiverse' thing.
He already dealt with this situation before. So did Sonic. Actually...even his friends were a little surprised and impressed.
But when Joshua was send hurdling to another world by Dr. Eggman - OH MY GOD! - he might find that this world he landed seemed awfully different...and familiar.
Dark Place - Unknown...
Joshua was laying unconscious, but he soon regain his senses as he got up.
"Where am I?" Joshua asked.
He began to looked around. He seemed to be in some kind of dark place.
But when he looked around again, he realized he wasn't alone, "Hm? Who's there?"
There was a single light spot in which he saw a blonde, stitched-up man was standing.
"That guy seemed kinda familiar. Maybe I'll ask him," Joshua said, pondering.
Joshua went up to the man for he had recognized him somehow.
"Nash...?" Joshua asked, calling his name.
The stitched-up man, who was really indeed Charlie Nash, finally turned to see Joshua.
"Who are you?" Nash asked.
"A friend," Joshua answered and replied, "Is there a door somewhere we can use to get out of this place?"
Charlie shake his head, "I'm afraid there isn't."
But then suddenly, they both saw something. They turned to see a lamb.
"Oh, it's only a little sheep," Joshua said, relieved.
Unexpectedly, the lamb just said one word, "Devour!"
Joshua was soon in shocked in horror when a dark liquid was forming around the lamb as it eventually consuming it and turned it into...
...Necalli!
Necalli continued saying, "The soul wonders...I must devour."
"What on earth is that?" Joshua asked. "And why do I get the feeling I know this scene before...?"
Suddenly, Necalli quickly advances and pins Nash to the ground.
"Charlie!" Joshua exclaimed, seeing that this 'Necalli' demon is trying to hurt Nash. "Hey! What's going on?!"
"Devour!" Necalli said, repeating that same word.
Joshua tried to stop Necalli and Nash struggles as Necalli keep him pinned, and some red energy were around him, intent on consuming him.
Just then, a glowing blue butterfly flutters by, distracting Necalli.
"A butterfly? What's it doing here?" Joshua asked.
The butterfly soon came between the three and radiates a strong glow...
Forgotten Waterfall - New Zealand...
...And that's when Joshua finally awoke. Now he was lying on the ground at the rocky path beneath the waterfalls next to the cave entrance in the middle of broad nighttime, when he heard someone.
"Joshua!" a voice called.
Joshua turned to see the Miles Electric next to him. Now he was able to contact Sonic and his friends.
"Thanks, guys!" Joshua said to Sonic and Tails, who were the only ones who send him the device, "I thought I was done for! I mean, lost in a dark void...Why do I get the feeling that I'm gonna have nightmares for sure?"
"Well, we're glad you're okay," Sonic replied.
Joshua soon got up and looked around the place he had just woke up in and asked, "Is it me, or is this place I just woke up in looked awfully familiar?"
"Not to us," Tails replied, "but this world looked realistic and different than your world and something out of an HD movie. Totally strange."
"No stranger than having a weird dream about a blondie stitched-up guy, or a weird creature yammering about devouring souls," Joshua said. "I'm more concerned about what's going on."
Just then, Joshua noticed something else right in front of him. A Chaos Emerald! He then picked it up.
"Guys, look," Joshua said to Sonic and Tails, showing them a Chaos Emerald.
"That's a Chaos Emerald," Tails said in shocked.
"Then, that means more of them must've been scattered when I landed here," Joshua said.
"That might be a good idea to find all seven of them," Sonic reassured.
"I bet I can find the rest of the emeralds while I figure out what world I'm in," Joshua agreed.
And so, his epic journey to find all seven Chaos Emeralds in this new world had begun as he trek forward to the new location.
