S'up. Another fast update. Let's see how long I can keep this goin' shall we? ;)

ydshakid: The X is suppose to be like a combination of the name of the two shows Underground and Sonic X. See?

TeamChaosHunters: OMC! We totally should! Who wants to join the FOF (fanfictions of fanfictions) club! And also, Procrastination! You're welcome.

insaneshadowfangirl: Sonic: *Facepalm*

Stella: Why did you do that?

Kariko-chan: Yay! No drowning music! And yes Sonic. Don't touch the glowy things.

Christian Ape99: IDK. Who would fit his personality anyway?

The impact hit him hard. He tumbled back several feet before he finally stopped, laying on his back. His head was swimming and for several seconds the bright mid-day sky had stars floating in it.

"Sonic!" the hedgehog looked up to the fox yelling his name, "Sonic are you okay? What the chaos was that thing?"

Sonic struggled to sit up, Tails helping him when he reached the hedgehog, "I'm fine Tails. Just a bit dizzy." Okay, he was a bit more than dizzy but Tails really didn't need to hear that. "As for what that was…"

He looked up to the sky where the dark lights had appeared. They were gone now, but that just worried him more. If they were what he thought they were…

"Come on. We need to get to Prof Prickle, ASAP."

He tried standing, but almost fell down again in the effort. Luckily Tails was there to keep him steady. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. Another wave of dizziness. No biggy." The communicator on his wrist started beeping at him as he finally steadied himself and when he looked down he saw the icon for his sister pop up. He pushed the answer button, prepared for what his sister was about to tell him. "Yo Sis. What's up?"

"What's up?" oh boy, "What's up is the entire planet having a simultaneous earthquake. You had to feel it. It was huge over here!"

"Chill Sonia." Sonic gave a sigh of relief at his brother's voice in the background, "You're gonna talk his ears off before we can tell him what we found."

"Right." She took a deep breath, clearing her thoughts, "Earlier Cyrus called us down to look at some data he found. Apparently there's the huge energy in the middle of the planet that's pushing against the crust. We think that might be what caused the huge planet wide quake."

Sonic looked up to his two friends, who both nodded, giving him knowing looks. "Don't worry Sis. We're lookin' into it right now. I've actually gotta go though. Call ya' later."

Seeing his sister about to protest he quickly ended the call. "Let's get movin guys."

With that, he ran off toward the town, his friends following right behind him.

Sonia and Manic stood staring at the communicator for a few seconds, completely baffled at Sonic's behavior. Something was definitely wrong. But they would have to figure it out later. Right now they had to find the cause of that quake.

"Cyrus, have you found any more information on that energy in the planet?" Sonia asked, walking over to the computer Cyrus was sitting at.

"Some." He emphasized, "That earthquake seemed to come close to breaking the entire planet apart. Some of the energy seems to have escaped when it hit. It disappeared from the radar quickly though. But here's the interesting thing," he typed some on his keyboard, bringing up another graph in the corner, "I found another energy source similar to it. It's not similar in many ways though. Almost everything about it is the exact opposite to the energy in the planet."

"Really?" Manic leaned down to get a better look at the computer screen, "Do you know where it is?"

"No," Cyrus replied, slightly disappointed, "I just know it's there. The quake messed with some of the readings. It might take some time but I might be able to locate it as long as another quake doesn't strike."

"So that means another is coming, right?"

"Probably."

"Professor Pickle?" Tails slowly opened the door into his office, "Are you in?"

"Ah, Tails. Very good to see you." The three walked into the office as they heard the answer.

The office seemed to be surprisingly intact for having gone through an earthquake. There were lots of books and such scattered on the floor but all of the bookcases were still upright and nothing seemed broken.

"Hello professor. You can probably guess we're here."

"Yes. It seems Dark Gaia is acting up again." He had been turned away from them, sorting though some books, but now turned to face them, "Who's the red chap with you?"

"Oh, right! Sorry. This is our friend Knuckles." Tails motioned to the echidna, who simply nodded in greeting.

"Pleasure to meet you. Now back to business," he turned back to the shelf he had been sorting through.

"Right," Sonic said, slightly confused by the professor's action, "Well, today we went up to Angel Island, where Knuckles lives, and the master emerald was acting weird. It kept changing colors from black, to white, and back to green. When I touched it while it was black I felt the same sensation that I did when I transformed into the werehog." He saw Tails's eye grow before showing sadness though the corner of his eye. 'He must realize how awkward I felt as werehog.'

"And when it was white I had flashes of my time with Chip," he continued, taking his head out of his thoughts, "Then after the quake these weird dark light things shot into the air and one of them hit me. I think it might have been the same type of stuff that made me transform into werehog in the first place." 'So much for never having to go through that again.' "So do you think you can help us out any?"

"I believe I can." The professor turned back to the three holding two documents in his hands, "Take a look at these."

"What are they?" Tails asked, leaning over the worn paper.

"They're lost pieces of the Gaia Manuscripts." Tails looked up in surprise at him, then quickly back down to the manuscripts.

The one he was looking at depicted a large emerald split into three different colors. To the left black, in the middle was green, and on the right was white. Just like the master emerald. There were different writings around it that they couldn't read, but they could guess what they were saying. They were describing the strange behavior of the master emerald.

Next Pickle laid out a piece with what looked like a person going to wake up Gaia. At first Sonic thought they might have been predicting the future but quickly disregarded the idea. The guy they showed was way too skinny to be Eggman. So who could it be?

"I predict that with the information from these documents, that it might be time for Gaia to awaken." Professor Pickle stared down at the two documents thoughtfully.

"But- but that can't be!" Tails started pacing in a small circle, his hand going through his bangs, "It hasn't nearly been a thousand years yet! That's when he's supposed to wake up."

Sonic put a hand on his shoulder to calm him as the professor explained further, "This document showing the man waking Gaia suggests that they might not wake themselves up every thousand years, but that someone or something comes to wake them up. Perhaps Eggman just woke them not too long before they were already set to awaken."

"And the emerald one supports that," Tails mumbled to himself.

The room started shaking as they stood there, landing them all on their behinds. Except Sonic. He face planted onto the floor. "Another one?"

"This one feels a lot worse than the last one!" Tails yelled through the sound of the crashing books, documents, and even one of the bookshelf.

Sonic put a protective arm over the fox to try and shield him from more of the debris. "And longer! What's going on?"

Tails pulled out his Miles Electric, pushing multiple buttons and taping different icons on the screen. When he found what he was looking for his eyes widened to twice their size.

"The planet's broken apart again!"

And on that bombshell (And major mood breaker)... Stay tuned!
