Me: Hi, guys. I'm back from Christmas vacation with another chapter of Sonic 06 Retold.

Sonic: How was Christmas?

Me: It was fun. I got two coloring books and puzzle books, the Diamond Edition of Aladdin, and four Amiibos, Mario, Peach, Sonic and Yoshi. Then with the money my grandma in California sent me, I bought some books based off Disney films, The Little Mermaid, Space Jam and three Land Before Time movies on DVD. I'll get more soon.

Elise: Those are good gifts.

Me: Indeed. Many of them are stuff I wanted so much so it was the greatest Christmas I had. My brother came over and gave me a Nightmare Before Christmas calander. So here's the story. Hope you enjoy it.

With Shadow, Rouge and Marco, they gathered information on where they were.
"No, that's not possible, we're still in the doctor's base," Rouge said. "Wait, there's no doubt now."
"So it's not where we are," Shadow said as Rouge explored the computer a little more.
"It seems we've gone through time, doesn't it?" Marco asked.
"Yes, approximately 200 years," Rouge said. "Maybe more, depending on when this database was last updated. This means that this Mephiles character has the power to control time."
"His power is very much similar to my very own Chaos Control. But..." Shadow said. Then the trio heard a noise from behind the door.

With Team Sonic, the four heroes found themselves in a place full of rust and a broken window.
"Boy do I feel dizzy," Tails said. "Where are we?"
"Oh, look who's here. I didn't expect to see you guys and with the girl who saved that dragon realm," a deep voice said.
"Rouge! Shadow!" Nelly said.
"Hi, long time no see," Rouge said, waving. "Good to see a celebrity like you, Nelly." When the heroes got outside, there was nothing but disaster. Broken buildings, fires, monsters everywhere. Shadow said it was the distant future, far removed from their own timeline. The only way to go back in time was to use a space time rift, but it required two Chaos Emeralds. So the two teams split up to find two emeralds. Nelly went with Sonic while Marco went with Shadow. When Nelly and Team Sonic reached a database, Nelly was shaken. It was bad enough to get through the fire tornado in the game, but it was a lot worse experiencing it. Then the four spotted Silver and Blaze with a creature who looked like Shadow. When the trio were gone, Tails looked into the computer.
"This is terrible! According to the data, the princess and Nelly both died when they got captured by Eggman," Tails said, shocking Nelly. "Apparently Eggman's battleship exploded! The date of this incident was...two days after the Festival of the Sun!"
"If we don't make it back in time, Elise will die on Eggman's battleship," Sonic said. "That means..."
"Yeah...I think so," Tails said. "It also says Nelly went onboard to help Elise. If this happens, Nelly, use some rope and shoot an arrow with it, it will carry you and Elise to a safe place."
"OK, I'll do it like a hook shot from the Legend of Zelda," Nelly said. So Tails gathered info on a Chaos Emerald on the computer.

Back with Shadow, Rouge and Marco, they found a Chaos Emerald. Rouge held it in her hands and laughed.
"My precious Chaos Emerald, you are oh so beautiful. Your mysterious brilliance," Rouge said. Then the team spotted a robot up ahead. It was E-123 Omega. Shadow tried to get the robot to work, but nothing worked.
"It seems he's in standby mode," Shadow said.
"What possibly could cause this future?" Marco asked. Then Rouge's communicator went off. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Nelly found a Chaos Emerald. So Shadow, Rouge and Marco went to follow Team Sonic.

Inside a volcano, Shadow and Rouge waited for Team Sonic to arrive.
"You guys are so slow. Look," Rouge said, holding out her hand with the Chaos Emerald.
"A Chaos Emerald! You've already found one," Tails said.
"Well now, I may not look it, but I'm a real treasure hunter," Rouge said. "Unlike a certain echidna I know."
"What?" Knuckles yelled, glaring at Rouge. It made Nelly and Marco laugh. Tails said the second Chaos Emerald was inside the volcano. Rouge refused to go inside but Knuckles made her by glaring at her again. When the two teams reached the core, Rouge flew up.
"I found a Chaos Emerald," Rouge said and was about to grab it when...
"Don't touch it!" Shadow yelled. Then flames engulfed the emerald and a fire monster appeared. So Sonic and Shadow fought the monster with Nelly and Marco's arrows which worked very well. When the monster was defeated, Sonic and Shadow used Chaos Control to travel back to their time line. Shadow was about to go with Rouge and Marco, but Mephiles appeared behind him.

With Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Nelly, they found themselves at the clock tower.
"Looks like we made it back in one piece," Knuckles said.
"Where did Shadow and Rouge go? Did they appear someplace else?" Tails asked.
"Those two can take care of themselves," Sonic said. Then he picked up a newspaper on the ground, talking about the invasion from Eggman.

With Rouge and Marco, they found themselves back in the present but Shadow wasn't with them. Then Rouge's communicator went off again. It was the President.
"Agent Rouge," the president said. "Report your status immediately. Have you retrieved the Scepter of Darkness?"
"Well, Marco and I will provide a full report shortly," Rouge said. "Right now we have a priority situation to deal with. We need to contact E-123 Omega immediately."

At the lake, Omega was walking around while Rouge and Marco looked for him. Omega spotted them.
"Hi, long time no see," Rouge said, waving.
"Rouge the Bat and Marco Hernandez," Omega said. The two explained what happened and asked to help by giving him their emerald. So Omega and Marco went to save Shadow.

Back with Shadow, he fought Mephiles but he made a disappointed look.
"So, decided to void your return ticket now, did you?" Mephiles said.
"Why are you here? Did you ruin this world?" Shadow asked.
"The answer's yes and no," Mephiles said. "Perhaps it's better to show you, with without Marco." Then the demon snapped his fingers and a shield appeared. It showed both Marco and Shadow sealed inside. Mephiles said not only was jealous of Shadow's power, but they also feared it. And he forced Marco to join him to destroy humanity. Humanity itself used this as an excuse to hunt Shadow and Marco down. Then Mephiles told Shadow to join him and let Marco join, too.
"That's absurd, what it is you want to do, you can do it alone," Shadow said.
"You forgive humanity this folly then?" Mephiles asked.
"I determine my own destiny," Shadow said. "And Marco would never hurt a fly, only bad people." Then Mephiles turned into a crystalline version of Shadow. The two fought but it wasn't easy because Mephiles was Shadow's shadow. After the battle, Mephiles was hit in the arm with an arrow. Then gunshots appeared, too. It was Omega and Marco. So the three fought Mephiles until it looked like he gave up. But he created a portal. So Shadow, Omega, and Marco went to follow him.

The portal lead the trio back in the present.
"It appears Mephiles isn't here, I will assist in pursuing him," Omega said. Shadow and Marco both nodded.

With Silver and Blaze, they spotted Mephiles in his previous form.
"Mephiles. Tell me, who is the Iblis Trigger? Why does he want to destroy the world?" Silver said
"Why does it matter to you?" Mephiles asked. "If you don't get this done, your future will remain the same...forever," Mephiles said. "He's currently in the terminal station. It's now or never if you want this." So Silver and Blaze continued to find Sonic. Still, Silver felt bad for almost hurting Jerry's sister and the girl who saved that dragon world.

Me: Originally, I was going to have Nelly die with Sonic, but then I thought 'who will play the "Song of Healing"?' So I decided that Nelly would die with Elise during Eggman's airship crash. Sorry to whoever made that request of Nelly dying instead of Sonic, I just want to do a reference to the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, even though it was scary, but I still love the game. I have its remake for the 3DS. Don't forget to review.
