*After the encounter with chaos the trio were succeful in escaping the city now hiding out in the luminous forest were they stay until things die down*
*They find a spot were they find sticks, leafs and other burnable things to set up fire for the night*
Tails: ok this should be enough (he says while piling the sticks together)
Buddy: i should be able to start the fire
*he rubs 2 sticks together and creates a spark starting a mini fire*
Tails: i didin't know you can start a fire
Buddy: me and my friend went on a camping trip a while back and it just stuck with me
*Classic Sonic appears from the bushes with a tired expression*
CS: I could not find anything to eat but we should be fine
*The trio sit down near the fire, they all have that look to share*
Buddy: Now that i think about it we haven't properly met have we (he looks at CS)
CS: oh yeah well im sonic...er past sonic i guess?
Buddy: but i thought...tails explain?
Tails: So i have a theory and its about the time eater, when the 2 eggmans used the time eater to redo the past and you and our sonic stopped him it must of had
somehow created a whole new timeline or dimension because you have already expierienced our sonic's future.
CS: i think thats a plausible explanation
Buddy:(what are they talking about?)
Tails: now sonic i need you to tell me how you got here for i have a new theory.
CS: alright, well it all started on my angel island, There was a mysterious energy there and me and my tails went to see what it was...
but Eggman had beat us to the punch and brought up this magenta gem i never seen before and it transported all of us to green hill
Tails:ok carry on
CS: fastfoward to the eggmans base and collecting the chaos emeralds i trashed his crumpled up mech and robot when gem went bezerk and seperated the chaos emeralds from me and opened a portal sucking me and the gem.
Tails: ok thats all i needed, i believe that whatever that figure was that took down sonic must have used that gem's power
Buddy: but who could it be?
Tails:well when we heard that voice after defeating chaos, you mentioned something about the voice with its obvious that voice belonged to that figure
*buddy gives his full attention to tails*
Buddy: you cant be thinking that-
Tails: that figure is your friend you were searching for.
Buddy:...
CS: Buddy you know whats up do you?
*Buddy tries not to look and makes it obvious he is avoiding conversation*
Tails: Look you don't have to share whats on your mind, i was just thinking plus we need a game plan-
Buddy: ok ill tell you
Tails: wait huh
*Buddy takes a deep breath*
Buddy: it began a month ago
*Grand Metropolis-1 month ago*
?: So how are your studies going buddy?
Buddy: actual decent for once, say where did you get the new look jack?
*Jack is a black jackal with black stylish boots, black goves, long ears, one yellow eye, and a scar on his face*
Jack: what do you mean, i always wore this kind of stuff.
*The two are walking on one of the many higways in grand metropolis, where white tall buildings tower over the streets, white and green is the new fashion, and where all the new tech is first made*
Buddy: No you always had a hatred to this kind of stuff and, (he notices jack's scar) did you get in a fight?
Jack:...no i just had a accident
Buddy: you can talk to me were best friends afterall
Jack: uh yeah right.
*Buddy gives a worrying look at jack. Sure he looked like the tough guy but he did not want to be. He wanted to not get stereotyped and usually played it safe but this,
This was different*
*They walked in silence until something catches jack's eye*
Jack: hey what's that?
*a magenta gem is spotted at the distance*
Buddy: hmm i don't know?
*the two approach with jack going straight in while buddy with caution*
Jack: hey isn't this a chaos emerald?
*Jack picks it to see a vision of a world with a world filled with shadows and darkness with him being the ruler of it all*
Jack: AHH- what the?!
Buddy: jack whats wrong?
Jack: i saw something...something incredible
Buddy: i think that thing is dangerous... we need to turn this is or something
Jack: why? (he picks it up) its the coolest thing we should keep it no one will kno-
*The gem starts to float in air jittering until it floats onto jack*
Jack:huh? whats it do-
*A great big flash blocks buddy's vision and after it disapears the gem is attached to jack with jack's face covered with a mask, his gloves have pinty edges, and he is covered in a magenta aura*
Buddy: Jack...ok you kinda look cool but your freaking me out
*jack gives buddy a blank stare as he floats in midair*
Buddy:jack? I got it how about a fistbump you always loved those even though there cheesy cmon!
*buddy raises his arm and reaches out to jack with a bump*
Jack:...(he raises his arm and slaps buddy's)
Buddy: hey whats the problem?
Jack: must...find...master.
*jack starts to float away*
Buddy: Jack what are you doing stop! Was it something i said? Please don't go! NO STOP?
*Buddy is confused,sad, and scared but jack dosen't care. He finally zooms out of sight presumably to find eggman*
