Sonic, Shadow, Tails and Nazo were heading back to the Mystic Ruins to decide what they were going to do about their major problem.

Sonic and Tails wanted to rest after their long battle with Slicer and their robot counterparts. Although Nazo had healed their wounds, that didn't help with their exhaustion. They were also hungry after the long battles, which was obvious because of their growling stomachs.

When they got to Sonic's, Tails' and Nazo's house, Sonic and Tails were surprised to see all of their friends inside waiting for them. They were Knuckles, the rest of Team Dark, Team Rose and the Chaotix. As soon as they walked in the house, the smell of freshly made Chili Dogs passed through their noses.

Amy walked up to them holding a plate filled with a least two dozen Chili Dogs. Sonic and Tails' mouths watered at seeing the food. Before anyone knew it, Sonic and Tails started grabbing the Chili Dogs and was eating them at a fast pace.

In just 20 seconds all 24 chili dogs were eaten. The sound of burping from the two brothers signaled that they were full.

Knuckles rolled his eyes at seeing them devouring the food like wild animals. He knew that Sonic and Tails were obsessed with Chili Dogs. Whenever he was around them, they would eat their Chili Dogs in seconds flat.

However that was not the only thing that Tails learned from Sonic. When they first met Tails was really hesitant to speak with anyone besides Sonic. Every time Sonic saved Station Square from Eggman's attacks, Tails would hide behind Sonic whenever people came to Sonic asking for an autograph.

Over time Tails slowly started getting used to other people he did not know and than opened up to them. As the years went by Tails became much more confident in himself, until he became the fox we know today.

"So, did you guys already complete your tasks?" Amy asked them.

Sonic and Tails both frowned at this remembering their problem. They both sighed and shook their heads.

"Well we did complete the first test, but we have a major problem." Tails said with a hint of sadness.

Everyone in the room could tell by his tone that it was a serious problem and they feared that they wouldn't like the answer.

"And just what is this major problem?" Knuckles asked.

Sonic looked around the room at everyone before he looked back at Knuckles. "The major problem is that the second sacred alter is on Little Planet.."

Amy gasped at that statement, while everyone else was confused because they didn't know what Little Planet was.

"But Little Planet doesn't come back for another week!" Amy shouted throwing her hands in the air.

"That's just it Amy, that's what our problem is. By the time Little Planet comes back the world would probably be destroyed and we would have failed." Tails explained.

Everyone else was getting irritated because they were being left out on the details. "Alright, can you please explain what Little Planet is?" Rouge asked.

Sonic, Tails and Amy both looked at her, then to each other remembering that they never heard of Little Planet. Sonic never told anyone about it because at the time he didn't think it was important.

Sonic than walked over to the couch and sat down, while Tails did the same. After a few seconds Sonic took a deep breath before he began to explain his adventure on Little Planet.

"Well Little Planet is a small planet that comes down once a month. One day I heard that Eggman had taken over Little Planet and that he was looking for the Time Stones."

Sonic was interrupted by Knuckles. "Time Stones? What are those?"

Sonic glared at him before he continued his explanation. "To answer you question the Time Stones are mystical gems that control time on Little Planet. There are 7 total, just like the Chaos Emeralds. Little Planet itself is like a time machine."

This time Sonic was interrupted by Rouge. "What do you mean by the planet itself is a time machine?"

Sonic got pissed at being interrupted. "WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME FINISH!" he shouted.

Everyone shut up after his outburst. Sonic than looked around the room daring anyone to speak. After looking at everyone he went back to explaining.

"Now Little Planet is like a time machine because you can travel through time to either the past or future by running through a sign post labeled past or future. However, Little Planet is only affected by the change of time. This is where I first met Amy."

Everyone was silent taking in every word Sonic said. After realization hit they finally understood the situation they were in.

"So, Little Planet comes once a month and there is 1 week left until it arrives?" Knuckles asked.

Sonic, Tails and Amy sadly nodded their heads.

Everyone was silent after that. They all had the same thoughts in their heads. How where they supposed to get to Little Planet?

After a while Knuckles got a idea in his head. "What if we used Chaos Control to get to Little Planet?"

Sonic shook his head. "No, that won't work. Little Planet is in a different dimension."

Knuckles was silent after that was said. He was really sure that idea was good enough, but deep down he had a feeling that he would get a negative response.

Than something came to Sonic. "Actually that idea might work."

Everyone looked at him strangely. "You just said that won't work." Espio said.

Sonic shook his head. "No, the idea to transport to Little Planet is bad, but what if we traveled through time to the past when Little Planet was here."

Shadow raised an eyebrow. "And just how are we supposed to do that?" he asked Sonic.

"By Chaos Control of course! Remember that the Chaos Emeralds can control time and space? We did it before in our adventure in Soleanna." Sonic explained.

Everyone took in what he just said. "Well that might have worked, but are you forgetting that we need two Chaos Emeralds and there is only 1." Shadow explained.

Sonic thought about that before an idea came to him. "What if we used a fake Chaos Emerald?" He turned to Tails. "You said that the fake Chaos Emeralds had the same wavelength and properties, but is less powerful than the real ones."

Tails sighed. "That's just it Sonic, It's not as powerful as the real ones so I highly doubt that is even possible."

Sonic shook his head. "Are you forgetting that I used Chaos Control with a fake Chaos Emerald back with the ark accident?"

Tails did remember Sonic telling him that. He always knew that was possible, but the effects could backfire and cause big problems such as sending them to a different time. If that happened they would be trapped there forever.

Tails than looked at Sonic. "I know that's possible, but the consequences outweigh the possibility of getting there safely."

Sonic grinned at this. "Are you forgetting that we always done the impossible? I'm sure that we can do this!"

Shadow than joined the conversation. "Okay I know that it's possible, but the question is how are going to get a fake emerald?"

After that statement Sonic jumped up from the couch and quickly zoomed into his room and came back seconds later holding a fake green Chaos Emerald.

Tails raised an eyebrow. "Okay I have many questions, the main one is, where did you get that?"

Sonic began tossing the emerald up and down. "Well when we were in space dealing with the Metarex, I picked it up when I went to save Chris and Cosmo from Black Narcissus."

"So you this the whole time?" Shadow asked with confusion.

Sonic blushed. "Well yeah, but I didn't think that we would need it. I took it just in case something happens."

Tails smiled. "Well it's a good thing you did. I just hope nothing happens."

Sonic put a hand on his little brother's shoulder. "Don't worry little bro, we will be fine just like always."

Tails felt better at his older brother's words. Tails than yawned feeling very tired. "We should get some rest before we head out to Little Planet."

Sonic nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm tired too, but we shouldn't sleep for too long just in case something happens."

Tails than had a question that suddenly came to him. "Come to think of it Sonic, Dark Nega hasn't attacked or destroyed in the 3 days he's been released."

Sonic than turned to Nazo. "Has your father ever been this quite before?" he asked him.

Nazo looked at him before nodding his head. "Yeah, he's done this many times. My guess is that he is building an army. The Dark Emerald has the power to bring back any evil creature stronger than ever. That's how he brought back those robots that look like you."

Everyone in the room froze when they heard that. Tails was the first one to speak. "Are you saying he can bring back any villain from our past and make them stronger than before?" he asked with fear in his voice.

Nazo nodded his head. "Yes, I'm afraid that is correct."

Sonic was quite for a moment before he spoke. "Well I guess that there is no time for rest. We should head out now."

Nazo shook his head. "No, you should get some rest, don't worry about anything expect your task. We will take care of everything else."

Sonic was about to object when he realized that it was true. He nodded his head before he and Tails went into their rooms to get some rest.
