Amy managed to get Sonic under her spell, but his children made sure that it didn't last long! As Lara-Su found out, Asunta had no memory of when she was under Amy's control. Both Amy and Asunta were to be imprisoned for their crimes... if Prelate Jet hadn't kidnapped King Sonic! Amy took this opportunity to escape with Asunta.
Where and when will Amy strike next? What does Enerjak want with Sonic? And can Team Generations function without him? Find out in the next chapter of The Flashforward Saga!

Chapter Ten: The Return of Enerjak (Part One)

As Prelate Jet zoomed across the desert landscape, Sonic was attempting to get himself free from its grasp... until he spotted familiar looking ruins...
"Hey. Those look like..." He thought out loud before revealing an old communicator with numbered buttons on it. "Miles, I'm sending you some coordinates. Don't worry about me, just get there now!" Meanwhile, back in Mobotropolis, Team Generations was angry aswell as upset.
"I can't believe Dad's gone, too..." Said Manik, looking depressed as Miles received a message on his communicator under his glove.
"I can't believe Amy and Asunta got away!" Silver grumbled.
"W-what is it, Dad?" Asked Skye as he approached his father.
"I just got some coordiates from the King..." He replied, before revealing the location of the coordinates in a hologram. "But that's just what's left of Glyphic Canyon. Why would Sonic send me this?" Seeing the hologram got everyone else's attention...

"Maybe that's where that Prelate is taking Sonic." Speculated Silver.
"No, when Sonic sent this to me, he was flying past the ruins." Miles replied.
"Well, Dad has been known to think on his feet..." Sonia pointed out. "Which means he has a plan for those temples..." This was when a light turned on in Manik's head, making him snap his fingers.
"I got it! He wants us to try and activate those temples in order to fight Enerjak's forces!" He stated as Sonia's eyes widened in realization.
"Of course! Just like when Grampa did it for the Black Arms!" She added.
"Sounds simple enough..." Said Melody.
"Forgive me, but I see a flaw in this plan..." Shadow Android pointed out.
"There it is." Said TodStar, inturrupting Shadow Android.
"The power source for every one of those temples has been destroyed. How does the King expect us to reactivate those ruins?" This made everyone in the area start thinking...

A short time later, Prelate Jet threw Sonic into a dark chamber and closed the door on him.
"Ngh... yeah, you'd better run, bird-brain!" Sonic shouted, before looking up to see all of the horrified-yet-lifeless Mobians around walls of the chamber. "Sweet, merciful Chaos... pretty much everyone I knew from my past is in here... Vector, Julie-Su, Rad... even Eggman. At least, I think that's Eggman..." Then Sonic saw a face that shocked him the most. "Mina... who on Mobius could've done this?"
"That would be yours truly, King Sonic." Said a familiar voice as he pick the hedgehog off the ground using Chaos Energy, before revealing the face of a certain echidna with a cybernetic eye...
"Knuckles... ngh... c'mon man, stop this!"
"I'm afraid it's too late for the Guardian, Your Highness..." Enerjak replied through Knuckles, before extending his hand out to Sonic's chest. "In fact, I can say the same thing about you... *chuckle*"

Meanwhile, back with Team Generations, Lara-Su felt a familiar presance that gave her an idea...
"Why don't we just use the 7 Chaos Emeralds to restore the jewels of those temples?" She asked.
"Because they were sealed within Castle Acorn's catacombs for a reason." Miles replied.
"That maybe true, Uncle Miles..." Agreed Manik. "...but what if this is what Dad wants us to do?"
"Your mother would make him change his mind." Miles pointed out.
"Besides, from what I've read about Glyphic Canyon, we'd need a Black Arm to activate those jewels in the first place." Said Silver, before Manik started knocking his knuckles on Silver's head.
"Hello? Hello, anybody home?" He sarcastically asked.
"Manik and I are Black Arms!" Sonia pointed out, startling Silver before Manik turned his attention to Miles again.
"C'mon, Uncle Miles... say yes. Then we'll grab the Chaos Emeralds, race over there, bring the ruins back to life, and be back before dinner!"

Before Miles could respond, everyone but Sonia and Manik heard the roar of airships approaching. Sonia and Manik couldn't hear it, because they heard what sounded like their father screaming, making them gasp in horror.
"You heard it too, sis?" Asked Manik.
"Yeah. Dad's in trouble!" Sonia replied.
"So are we. Look!" Said Silver as he pointed up to three airships that looked to be the same kind that attacked Mobotropolis earlier. Jumping down from the airships were a number of Prelates; A green raccoon, a brown echidna, a white dove, a dark-green porcupine, a green crocodile, and a purple mongoose.
"Mina..." Exclaimed Miles, staring at what looked like his wife, while his kids looked terrified.
"T-that's Mom?!" Melody asked her father.
"N-n-no, it's not." Said Skye, surprising both Miles and Melody. "It's like Silver said: that's just Mom's Core being used against us."

"He's right, Melody." Miles told his daughter. "We shouldn't feel any remorse for fighting these things." Miles then rammed into Prelate Mina, shocking all of Team Generations! "Manik... take Lara-Su, Silver and the Chaos Emeralds to Glyphic Canyon! We'll buy you some time."
"Follow me, cause I know where the Emeralds are!" Manik pointed out before he, Lara-Su and Silver left the scene. Miles then pointed to Sonia, Skye, Melody and Shadow Android.
"You four search Castle Acorn for the Queen." He told them. "I can't help but think that her body is still in there somewhere..." Miles and TodStar then started fighting the Prelates that were invading the city. "Nicole, we're gonna need some backup down here."
"*bzz* I've already deployed some aerial support, Miles." Nicole replied through Miles' communicator. "They should be arriving in moments...*bzz*" Seconds later, laser fire was seen above Castle Acorn, as four small jet-like vehicles flew started attacking the airships; One of them was shaped like a convertible car mixed with a jet. The second one resembled a bike of some sort, except its wheels were on opposite sides, acting as turbines. The third aircraft looked like a buggy, but like the bike, its wheels were acting like turbines. The final aircraft to have been deployed by Nicole looked like a small jet, complete with turbine engines, wings and fins.

"Yeah, there's some firepower for you lot!" Cheered TodStar as he and Miles watched the small planes shoot down one of Enerjak's airships. Although Miles noticed something odd...
"What happened to the paint job, Nicole?" He asked Nicole through his communicator. "You never got around to it?"
"*bzz* You know, it's funny..." She replied. "I was just about to start painting the ships, then I detected Enerjak's fleet approaching. So I figured I'd better prepare them for battle. *bzz*"
"Fair enough." Said Miles, who chuckled at Nicole's response. That is, until Enerjak appeared before them... "Enerjak!"
"You fools may have the means to defeat my robot army..." The demigod told Miles & TodStar as he floated between them and the dogfight above. "...but you shall not best me OR my Prelates." As six robots that resembled Sonic emerged from Castle Acorn, TodStar let out a blast of Chaos Energy before revealing his sword, the Chaos Blade.
"We'll see about that, for my powers have increased tenfold since we last dueled..." TodStar pointed out, making Enerjak laugh.
"Good. Twice the pride, double the fall... THUNDER ARROW!" Enerjak unleashed a barrage of Chaos Energy arrows down at TodStar, who spun his Chaos Blade in front of himself to block Enerjak's attack.
"All Metal Sonic Guards, CHARGE!" Shouted Miles, before the Metal Sonic Guards flew towards Enerjak, as the ships Nicole sent out shot down another airship...

At that moment, Manik and Lara-Su were closing in on Glyphic Canyon in the hedgehog's aircraft, while Silver followed them on his Extreme Gear.
"Are you sure this is gonna work, Manik?" Asked Lara-Su, who was holding onto the handlebar behind Manik.
"Absolutely." Manik replied. "I know that this is what Dad wanted us to do..."
"You certainly have faith in your father, Manik..." Silver pointed out, before he hung his head in shame. "Makes me wish I hadn't trusted Mephiles like that..."
"It's all in the past, Silver..." Said Lara-Su, looking back at the silver hedgehog. "I'm just glad I helped knock some sense into you." Seeing Lara-Su giggle made Silver chuckle... until they reached their destination. After the three landed, they found one of the pedastals of the temples, where pieces of the jewel were shattered around it.

"So... what do you expect to happen here, Manik?" Asked Lara-Su.
"I'm not sure yet." Manik replied, before holding his hand out to her and Silver. "Can you pass me an Emerald?" Silver revealed one of the Emeralds he retrieved from the catacombs of Castle Acorn, but he was startled by something in the purple Emerald.
"What? But the only face I can see in this Chaos Emerald is my own..." He said loud enough for Lara-Su to hear, who got curious.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked him, making Silver nervous before he handed Manik the Emerald.
"Uhh, nothing..." Just before Manik could approach the shattered jewel, a blue blur stole the Chaos Emerald from him!
"The Emerald!" He cried, before he, Lara-Su and Silver saw who was responsible standing before them; Two Prelates. One was a blue hedgehog, the other was a green hawk. "Dad?!"
