Hey everyone, I hoe you enjoyed chapter "3" xD. I meant to put Chapter 2, but NOW this is chapter 3. I kind of didn't like the last chapter because how slow it was. I like to take my time and not rush through the stories. This time, the story is going to move a bit faster. By the way, there are going to be easter eggs hidden throughout the story. I'm going to reveal all of the easter eggs after I finish up the story. See you at the end! Enjoy!

Lilac: Hi I'm Sash Lilac! Me and the girls decided to investigate the airship that crash landed last night a little bit more. We didn't find much of nothing in there. Meanwhile, we crossed three boys that were causing us problems... at least one. After that Metal Sonic robot nabbed the Chaos Emerald from Sonic, me and him worked together to stop him. To be a hedgehog, he's pretty fast and unique. Hopefully I'll get to know more about him in the future... and the Chaos Emeralds.

Chapter 3

Meanwhile with Eggman. With all the long exhausting hours of walking, he finally found Shang Mu, A huge kingdom that is controlled by Mayor Zao. Eggman looks how large the kingdom is with amazement.

Eggman: Whoa... this can't be Mobius...

He's standing at a steep hilltop looking at the beauty of the place. He soon starts looking for a way down.

Eggman: Oh no... Looks like I have to slide down...

Moments later, Eggman is screaming at the top of his lungs as he's sliding down the hill. He soon reaches the very bottom, having grass stains on his clothes. Eggman gets up and dusts himself off. He then looks up and sees how close he's to the Kingdom.

Eggman: Maybe I'll find answers there...

Meanwhile outside the clubhouse, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles explained to the girls that they're not from the world they live on. It shocked them completely.

Carol: So hold on, you mean that you're not from this world?

Tails shakes his head.

Tails: Nope, we're from somewhere else.

Sonic takes out the Chaos Emerald.

Sonic: Remember me telling you that the Chaos Emerald have powers? That's what I mean. The Chaos Emeralds allow us to travel through time and space. That's why we need to find those Emeralds so we can go back home.

Lilac rubs her muzzle, thinking.

Milla: I would love to help our new friends go home.

Milla offering to help Sonic team. Lilac looks at them, smirking.

Lilac: If Milla is helping, then we're helping you.

Carol's eyes widens. Sonic smirks as well, happy that they have friends that are willing to help.

Sonic: Really? Thanks!

Carol: Oh no! I rather not get involved into dangerous situations. Especially the incident that happened two years ago.

Sonic team looks at her puzzled.

Knuckles: Hiding something from us?

Knuckles asks a little rudely.

Lilac: No... It's a long story, I'll tell it in another time. As for now, lets go look for those Chaos Emeralds.

Carol sighs.

Carol: You know what? I'm going to join since there's nothing else better to do.

Lilac raises her arms in the air excitingly.

Lilac: That's the spirit.

Carol rolls her eyes.

Carol: Yeah, yeah... Just let me get my motorcycle.

She walks away. Tails scratches his head awkwardly.

Tails: She has a motorcycle?

Meanwhile with Eggman, he has finally reached his destination. He's walking around the town trying to find someone to talk to. He notices that the people around him are different.

Eggman: If this isn't Mobius, then where could I-

He suddenly hears a lot of noises coming from behind him. He turns and sees a stampede of people coming his way. He quickly steps aside as they ran pass him.

Eggman: What's going on?

He asks himself.

"Have you heard? Mayor Zao is re-electing once again"

Eggman looks down and sees an old turtle sipping tea out of a cup.

Eggman? An election?

The turtle nods his head.

"Mayor Zao is doing anther electon, because the one that was running office was not doing a very good job handling situations."

Eggman rubs his chin, curious.

Eggman: Hm... If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of this place I'm in?

The turtle chuckles.

"Well, you're in Shang Mu. It's one of the most advance nations all in Avalice."

Eggman is filled with surprise when the old turtle finally answered his question that he's been asking to himself.

Eggman: Avalice? Shang Mu? W- wait... you said this place is one of the most advance nations? By technology?

"That's what I said. Everything is being used by energy... the energy that we used is called the Kingdom Stone. It's destroyed, but most of the energy is equally divided by two other nations in this planet.

Eggman: Very interesting... I need to know more...

He looks back at the line and quickly follows. Meanwhile with the heroines and heroes, they are walking down a trail of dirt that leads out of their hide out. Carol has grabbed her motorcycle so she can move around faster, but right now she's pushing it.

Carol: So what's the plan everyone? We can't just walk around looking lost.

Lilac: She's right, guys.

She says, agreeing to Carol. Sonic team stops and looks at her.

Tails: Maybe we should all split up in pairs.

Sonic shakes his head disagreeing.

Sonic: Sorry, but you know me Tails. I don't like working with others sometimes.

Milla: Is someone afraid of catching... cooties?

The girls starts laughing.

Lilac: Cooties!

Lilac yells out. Sonic rolls his eyes at the corny joke.

Sonic: It's not that at all.

Knuckles scoffs.

Knuckles: Is that the reason why you always run away from Amy?

Knuckles playfully punches his arms.

Sonic: No!

He angrily tells him.

Sonic: I'm just not interested in her.

Sonic sighs.

Tails: Come on Sonic, you and me worked together when we first met each other. You wouldn't mind working with them, right?

Sonic rubs the back of his head knowing that Tails is right.

Sonic: Yeah, you're right bud.

Lilac happily pats his back.

Lilac: That's the spirit.

Tails: Alright, hears the plan. Since you know more about this place than us, we should split up into groups like I said. Sonic, you should go with Lilac since you two work fairly well together. Knuckles, you can go with Carol-

Knuckles: Why do I have to go with this crazy cat?

He angrily interrupts his sentence.

Carol: Oh come on, why with him? He has an insubordinate attitude.

Tails rubs his face annoyed.

Tails: Fine, Knuckles. You can work with Milla-

Milla: NO!

Milla screams with her eyes widens. Everyone looks at her puzzled.

Milla: Not with him!

Tails has an irritation mark on his forehead.

Tails: I give up... what do you think we should do Sonic?

He looks around for him, but notices that he's gone.

Carol: Lilac is gone too.

Not far from them, Sonic is holding Lilac's hand running from the issues that they were having.

Sonic: Sorry Lilac, but I get very impatient.

Lilac lets go of his hand and follows.

Lilac: But what if your red friend tries to attack Carol?

Sonic looks back at her smirking.

Sonic: The way that Carol tried to attack me... I'm sure that she'll protect herself.

Sonic speeds up. Lilac rolls her eyes, then speeds up with Sonic.

Lilac: Follow me, I think I know where we should start.

Sonic obliges.

Meanwhile with Eggman, he's in a long line in Shan Mu's City Hall. He's the tallest one out of everyone in the line; it's easier for him to see what's going on up front. He sees five machines that has curtains around it so people won't see who they're voting.

Eggman: This reminds me of Mobius so much... but...wait... is that the...

Eggman sees a blue Chaos Emerald inside a glass ball. Suddenly it gets snatched away while everyone was circling around and loking at it.

"Get away from my precious jewel!"

Everyone looks down at Mayor Zao. The ball is on top of a cane that Zao carries around now. Eggman's mouth slightly a gapes.

Eggman: The Chaos Emerald!

He starts cutting the line as he steps over everyone.

Egman: Move! Get out the way!

Everyone starts yelling at him for cutting in line. Meanwhile, Zao is sitting in his throne chair as two guards are standing beside him in opposite sides.

Zao: It's so great to have an election again.

He happily says.

Zao: That last guy that was elected sucked.

He sighs.

Zao: Oh well.

He starts to notice that Eggman is cutting people.

Zao: Hey! Wait for your turn you-

Zao's eyes turns into a puzzled look.

Zao: What is that ugly thing?

Eggman finally reaches to the red panda.

Eggman: Hey you! Where did you get that Emerald?

Zao looks up at the Chaos Emerald.

Zao: Seems like someone is interested in this emerald I found. My trusted guards found it and gave it to me.

He starts sniggering to himself

Snigger: Give a half-suppressed laugh.

Zao: Actually, I took it away from him and claimed it mine.

Eggman: Well that emerald is mine!

Zao crosses his arms.

Zao: Sorry! Finders keepers!

Eggman growls.

Eggman: You give me back that emerald back you small...

Eggman suddenly gets an idea.

Eggman: Wait a minute. If one Chaos Emerald is here, then that means the other six are scattered somewhere else.

He thought to himself.

Eggman: That also means that Sonic and his friends are here as well... I won't be able to get those Chaos Emeralds... unless...

He raises a brow, then bows down.

Eggman: My dearest apologies sir, I shouldn't have treated yo the way I did.

Zao smirks.

Zao: I accept your apology you hideous creature. Now off you go in the back of the-

Eggman: W- wait!

Zao blinks in confusion.

Eggman: There are more Emeralds like that out there somewhere. Those Emeralds aren't ordinary Emeralds, those Emeralds are special and very powerful.

Zao rubs his muzzle, interested.

Zao: Do tell me more.

Eggman smiles, then starts explaining what the Chaos Emeralds can do; He explains that he's a doctor that build robots and uses the Emeralds to power them up. Zao starts smiling hard, liking what Eggman is telling him.

Eggman: By the way, I heard that you're looking for someone to run in office.

He kneels down.

Eggman: If you let me run in office, I can make this a great city with enhanced technology that is far beyond better than the ones you have now. Oh, and I'll also build robots to find all the emeralds that you want instead of using your trustworthy warriors.

Zao's eyes shines brightly with excitement. He stands up and taps his staff on the ground getting everyone's attention.

Zao: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!

Everyone starts to settle down.

Zao: WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WILL RUN FOR OFFICE AND WILL HELP ADVANCE OUR TECHNOLOGY FURTHER MORE! THIS HIDEOUS CREATURE RIGHT HERE-

Eggman: Dr. Eggman...

Eggman has an irritation mark on his temple annoyed that the mayor keeps calling him hideous.

Zao: WILL RUN FOR OFFICE NOW!

Everyone starts talking to each other about his choice.

Zao: NOW OFF YOU GO! THE ELECTION IS NOW OVER!

Everyone starts walking away. Eggman is having his own little party in his head.

Eggman: I am very honored your royalty.

Zao smiles happily.

Zao: You're welcome, from now on, you have twenty percent off of every purchase you make.

Eggman chuckles, then starts laughing.

Sonic and Lilac's story

An hour later with Sonic and Lilac, Sonic is following Lilac to Shang Tu.

Sonic: So where are you taking me again?

Sonic asks once again. Lilac sighs.

Lilac: For the fourth time, Shang Mu. We're going to meet the Royal Magister. I expect you to give him lots of respect, Sonic.

Sonic smirks.

Sonic: Don't worry, when it comes to kings or queens, I give them tons of respect.

Lilac: I hope so...

Minutes later, they arrived at the Royal Palace outside. Gong is standing outside guarding the entrance. He sees Lilac and Sonic walking towards them.

Gong: Halt!

Both the dragon and hedgehog stops.

Lilac: Gong, it's me, Lilac.

Gong: I know that.

He says, then points at Sonic.

Gong: I was saying halt to that porcupine.

Sweat drops rolls on Sonic's face.

Sonic: I'm a hedgehog...

Lilac: Anyway... we need your help. The Royal Magister needs to hear this too.

Gong: Hm... it depends on what situation you're talking about.

Lilac: This is Sonic; he came from a world that's different from ours.

Gong: What's in it for me?

Gong asks a little rudely.

Lilac: Hold on... He said that he got teleported here by an ancient relic called the Chaos Emeralds.

Gong suddenly starts laughing, making the two look at each other puzzled.

Gong: You mean to tell me that these so called... Chaos Emeralds teleported you here? I found a red emerald last night while we were looking for whatever had caused an avalicequake.

Sonic's and Lilac's eyes widens.

Sonic: You mean... you found a Chaos Emerald?

Sonic jumps back a little with surprise.

Sonic: This might be easier than I thought.

Gong shakes his head.

Gong starts laughing again.

Gong: I don't see anything chaos about the emerald I found.

Sonic face palms.

Sonic: Well duh...

Lilac: L- look, can we just talk to Royal Magister about it and see what he has to say about it?

Gong sighs.

Gong: Fine...

Minutes later, they are inside the castle walking to the Magister. Sonic is looking around seeing how nice the palace is structured and built.

Sonic: Wow! This place is epic!

Gong: Yes, the Royal Palace is very unique.

They soon reached the Royal Magister who is standing in the same spot as always, looking outside. Sonic looks outside seeing the nice view of Shang Tu. Gong and Lilac bows down.

Gong: Royal Magister, I ask of you a favor from these two young ones.

The Royal Magister turns around and looks at them, but notices that Sonic isn't bowing. He's too busy looking outside until Lilac elbows him on the leg. Sonic looks down at her.

Lilac: Bow.

She whispers.

Sonic: Oh...

Sonic gets on one knee and bows. The magister continues to stare at the blue hedgehog.

Magister: You can rise now.

They all rise.

Magister: What is the favor you're asking?

Lilac: Royal Magister, I heard from General Gong that you have a red emerald.

She bows once again.

Lilac: The emerald that you are holding is very important for my friend, Sonic. You see Royal Magister, that emerald is what caused him to get teleported to Avalice. He is not from here, he is from another world.

Magister: I see.

Neera suddenly pops out of nowhere, landing beside Gong.

Neera: What's the problem now?

Gong: These kids say that the red emerald we're holding are "Special".

Sonic taps his foot repeatedly on the ground, impatient.

Neera: Special? What do you mean by special? I don't see anything that special about a rock.

Sonic groans.

Sonic: Sorry, guys, but I need that Chaos Emerald to go back home.

Sonic grabs Lilac's hand.

Lilac: S- Sonic, wait!

Gong gets in his defensive stance with Neera.

Neera: Stop or we'll-

Sonic suddenly dashes off, creating a big wind.

Gong: H- he's gone!

His eyes widens.

Neera: Gather the troops and stop them!

Lilac lets go of him, then quickly follows.

Lilac: You're going to get us in trouble!

Sonic looks back at her smirking.

Sonic: Don't worry, I always get myself out these situations! Come on!

They both increased their speed.

Sonic: Hey it's me, Sonic! Whoa! This palace is bigger than I thought! It'll take more than warriors to stop the fastest duo! Wait, what the heck are Eggman's robots doing here? Uh oh, looks like we're in trouble! Let's get rid of these useless piece of scrap metals, Lilac. Next time in Sonic and the power of the Crystal Stone "BREAKING AND ENTERING" Don't miss out!

Before you leave, I have an announcement to make... Milla and Carol did change and I wasn't even paying attention XD. So Now you know. Also, I am using current voice actors for all of them except for Knuckles. His voice actor is the one in Sonic Adventure. See you next chapter!
