After some time with Sonic allowing himself to go at normal pace so that Tails could catch up, they reached Central City and went in to explore. Soon enough the citizens noticed them and were muttering and looking quite fearful at the sight of them.
They had passed a large golden statue of Robotnik smiling while holding the entire globe with the plague saying "DR IVO ROBOTNIK – THE EARTH's HERO!" Sonic and Tails were looking up they felt weirded out by the shape of the man and his face as well as trying to see if they could make out the writing on the statue as it was a foreign language. "So is he their king of something, this egg guy's statue has the most fake looking smile." Sonic snarked to Tails who gave a slight smile.
They walked over the city ignoring the mutterings until Sonic smelled something good in his nose, he took Tails and they came across a food truck diner with tables around it. The sign said "UNCLE CHUCK'S CHILLI DOG DINER".
They saw the people on the tables were eating some sort of metal food in buns, Sonic and Tails felt their stomachs growl, "If only we have what these creatures use as currency Sonic..." Tails muttered as they then saw various vans surrounding the area. Out came several GUN soldiers.
Leading them was a young short blonde haired woman; she flashed her badge to the people around who began evacuating with their food. She went to the counter to meet the young intern there and showed him her badge "We need to make use of the area for the moment so its best you close down, but you think you can make a two plates of chilli dogs for our little animal friends here? Charge it to my tab Dave."
The intern nodded and went to work and sat down at one of the tables with the other soldiers circling the area. She used her hands to patted the two chairs at it and told him "ordered you both lunch so I hope you we can have a civil discussion here, you caused quite a stir with your appearance."
Sonic then rushed to the chair on the left and Tails got on the chair on the right, "Well who are we to turn down a free lunch. Name's Sonic the Hedgehog and my buddy here is Tails, sorry if we scared you folks but we went on a little trip." Sonic told her leaning back on his chair and Tails giving a friendly wave.
"Well Mr Hedgehog and Mr Tails, I am Captain Madonna Garnett but i like to be called Topaz, I am a captain of GUN the military force of the United Federation. Glad to see that you both seem to speak our language." The woman introduced herself and Sonic started snickering. Tails and Topaz faced him, "Is something funny to you?" Topaz asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Topaz? Why do you call yourself that, is that a band name or something?" Sonic asked making Topaz glare at him. "Nothing, well I was in a band myself. Sonic and the Forget-Me-Knots, we broke up when I wanted to go beyond singing and start adventuring." Sonic told her casually and Topaz just sighed to herself.
"Back on topic, I wanted to ask where exactly you came from and how did you get here?" Topaz asked taking a professional stance when facing them.
"Well we come from a planet called Mobius, as to how we got here well we got hand of 7 Chaos Emeralds, they are really powerful but they ended up sending us here and gave Sonic his new speed." Tails explained as Sonic began tapping the table impatiently waiting for the food to arrive.
Topaz listened and raised her eyebrow at the mention of 7 powerful emeralds, well she was talking to 2 talking animals and the people of Earth knew there were aliens so she was not able to be a skeptic.
"Well welcome to the planet Earth, you have to excuse the shock of your arrival. Not too long ago we were subjected to an invasion by an alien force called the Black Arms. The war ended almost 10 years ago but most still know of the mass destruction and death that happened before we won, people would be scared of anything out of the ordinary or anything that looks like it could lead to a new invasion." Topaz explained to them freaking out Tails and Sonic.
"Well I don't think we had anything like that back on Mobius, unless you count the Legend of the Mogul." Tails replied and Sonic rolled his eyes but Topaz looked interested.
"Tails I maybe a teen and you might be preteen but I think we should be old enough not to think of fairy tales like that." Sonic lightly chided him but then saw that Topaz was interested.
"It's a legend that some immortal king ruled Mobius before disappearing, supposedly during his reign there were invaders from the stars but they were so outmatched by the power of the king that they retreated crying back to their mummies." Sonic explained flatly and Topaz shook her head. "So you can see we were taken here by accident and know nothing about the Black Arms. Your soldiers and robots creeped us out, I won't take it well if they try and go after Tails again but I won't mind if you go after me again since facing them was fun." Sonic told Topaz casually with Tails a bit embarrassed by being scared like that.
Topaz shook her head as Dave came with their orders, they started tucking in with Tails liking the taste but Sonic loved it so much he kept eating.
Topaz got out her communication device and called it, "Commander Tower this is Captain Garnett, I found the creatures but they seemed to be just lost visitors. Nothing about them saying they are a part of some invading force and they seemed cooperative once I got to talk to them, at worst I would say they are nothing more than just juvenile delinquents." Topaz stated once the call was picked up.
"Roger Captain Garnett, see about taking them to headquarters and we can go over where and what to do with them..." Commander Tower replied to her as suddenly they heard a blast.
Sonic and Tails who had finished their chilli dogs noticed several SWAT Bots were shoving their way past the GUN soldiers circling the area and were about to fire at Sonic and Tails.
Sonic ran and jumped at the SWAT Bots taking them down before they could fire again. "What was that?" Sonic asked in concern looking at the downed GUN soldiers and began helping Tails in picking them up. He was about to get really angry if this was jsut a set up for an attack.
"We will need to get my men some medical help and take you to headquarters, plus talk to Dr Robotnik about any possible malfunctions in his robots." Topaz told them with a hint of suspicion in her voice.
