Chapter 3: Silver's Story
Mobius: In a cave on the side of a mountain
There was a flash of light and Silver, the orange robot, and the gang arrived.
"Where are we!?" Candace asked, looking around her.
"Welcome to our home." Silver welcomed, grinning.
"Wait, THIS is your home!?" Candace asked in disbelief.
"Unfortunately it is." Silver nodded. "This is our home."
Just then a voice came out from further in the cave. "Is that you Mr. Silver?"
Silver nodded. "Sure is!" He said. "It's safe to come out right now."
Phineas and Isabella exchanged glances, trying to figure out who Silver was talking to. A minute later a young rabbit walked to the front of the cave with a strange blue creature flying above her. She saw Phineas and the others and stopped. "Who are they?" She asked timidly.
Silver laughed. "Don't worry." He assured her. "These are the people who helped me and Sonic beat Eggman Nega last year."
The young rabbit smiled and walked up to them. "Oh, OK." She said. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Cream, and that is my very special chao friend Cheese."
"Chao, chao!" Cheese, the blue chao, cheered.
"Ahh, he's SOO cute!" Isabella exclaimed. Cheese looked at Isabella for a second, and then quickly ran to her and hugged her.
"I think he likes you." Cream laughed at Isabella's surprise.
"So Silver," Phineas turned to the hedgehog, who was trying not to laugh at Isabella's reaction to Cheese hugging her. "What happened here? Who's the robot? And where's Sonic?"
The rest of the gang looked at Silver, hoping that he could explain.
"Well," Silver said. "I'll tell you, but it's not a happy story." He sat down on a stool that he pulled up with his telekinesis, while the others sat on the ground with the exception of the orange robot, who stood next to Silver.
"You guys should remember what happened last year," Silver began. "When we defeated Eggman Nega and sealed him in the void." Phineas and the others nodded. "Well, Sonic used Chaos Control to get us back home, and everything seemed alright. I was unable to go back into the future though, because something was blocking me. But before I could find out what it was it happened."
"What did?" Jeremy asked. He was clearly interested in Silver's story. (Also interested in how he could talk)
"There was an earthquake." Silver told him. "The largest I've ever felt. Some people said that the whole world was breaking apart. Right after the earthquake Sonic vanished, just as Eggman attacked us again. That was last year…"
"Mr. Silver was kind enough to rescue me from that evil doctor." Cream said, looking at Silver with admiration in her eyes. "He let me stay with him and Mr. ML."
"ML?" Irving asked.
"Emerl." Silver explained, motioning to the orange robot next to him. "He is a Gizoid who was created over a hundred years ago. He was created to be the Ultimate Life Form, but was deactivated until recent events."
"What do you mean?" Candace asked. She wasn't that interested in the story, but she saw that her brothers and Jeremy were.
"Emerl was reactivated only two years ago." Silver said. "However, due to a mistake with the Chaos Emeralds he went rogue, and Sonic and Cream had to defeat him."
"After we defeated Mr. Emerl, I thought I would never see him again." Cream continued with tears in her eyes, remembering the events. "But Mr. Tails found what was left of Mr. Emerl and put him back together."
"It took over a year to fix him completely though." Silver said. "He helped out a lot when Eggman attacked us."
"I'm actually wondering about that…" Phineas mused. "I thought all his robots were destroyed."
"He was able to get new ones," Silver said. "But these were new and improved. He attacked us and forced us into a corner, where we decided the only way to survive was to run and strike back later. Shadow was able to keep back the robots for a time, but in the end even he was defeated."
"Wow…" Isabella said in awe, remembering Shadow's great power.
"So now we hide. Striking when we can." Silver finished. "Not the best life, but it's the only to do anything against the Eggman Empire now."
"So, if this Eggman is ruling the world how do we get home? And why hasn't that orange robot said anything since we've got here?" Candace asked.
Silver laughed. "That's because Emerl only speaks to those he has a link with!" He turned to the Gizoid. "They are OK Emerl." He said.
Emerl nodded, and his blue eyes flashed brightly. "To get home you will need a time/space rift, which requires a lot of energy." He said, surprising the others. "The best way to do that is to use the Chaos Emeralds."
"Which Egghead has…" Silver muttered under his breath.
"So now what?" Buford asked. He wasn't that smart, but he knew that they couldn't get home they way they came.
Before Silver could answer there was the sound of a phone ringing, which startled the gang.
"We are receiving a coded message." Emerl turned to Silver.
"Put it through!" Silver quickly said, and then turned to the others. "Any guesses on who it is?"
"Nope." The gang shook their heads. The only one who said something else was Phineas, who guessed it was Sonic.
Just then a hologram projection of a fox with two tails appeared in the middle of the room.
"Silver! Guess what?" The fox said, obviously not noticing Phineas and the others. "We got a read on the Death Pawn's base!"
"No way!" Silver exclaimed. "You finally found it!?"
"Yeah." The fox nodded. "Rouge and the Chaotix were able to pinpoint it…no help from Omega though."
Silver chuckled.
"Hey Tails!" Phineas waved to the hologram, which clearly had a look of surprise on it.
"Phineas!?" The fox known as Tails asked in surprise. "What are you doing here!?"
"We were paying a visit to you and Sonic." Phineas explained.
"Bad timing." Tails sighed.
"Yeah, we got that." Candace said, a little too sharply.
"Wait…how many of you came?" Tails asked.
"Me, Ferb, Candace, her boyfriend Jeremy, Buford, Baljeet, and Irving." Phineas said.
"That's a lot of people…" Tails muttered. Before he could say anything else though a voice boomed from behind him.
"Hey! What's the holdup Tails!?" The voice demanded. "Every second you have that com thing open the faster Eggman can find us!"
"Sorry Knuckles," Tails apologized. "But Phineas and the others are here."
"Say what!?" Knuckles almost shouted, scaring Cream. "What lousy timing for a visit!"
"Guys," Tails said. "We're holding a meeting at the Beacon. You should come. Maybe all of us together can find a way to get you home safely."
"All right." Phineas nodded.
"Let's do it then!" Silver declared, jumping up.
"See you in an hour or so!" Tails waved, as the hologram disappeared.
So Eggman wasn't defeated after all! And what's worse is that he's back for revenge! Now with the gang trapped on Mobius, the only way to go back home seems to be using Chaos Control. But the evil doctor has the Chaos Emeralds! Can the gang get the emeralds and use Chaos Control to get back home safely? And can Eggman be stopped? Find out next time!
A/N: Sorry for not uploading sooner! I've been really busy! But it's up now! :D
So, before you say anything: Emerl was defeated by Sonic in Sonic Battle, but was defeated by Cream in Sonic X. So to avoid any confusion I just did both in this story.
By the way, the place known as Beacon is just the name of the place where the remaining heroes are meeting. It's not actually on Mobius. The name comes from Beacon Academy, from RWBY.
