Sonic slid out of the shattered ship.

"What happened?" Sonic asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think some sort of time drift caught us and sent us into the future." Tails answered as he inspected the engine. Sonic looked out at the burning city. It was so rugged it seemed more like a wasteland.

"This is the future?" Shayla asked as she walked over to Sonic's side. Espio, Suicune, and Cindy walked over to them as well.

"The distant future." A voice behind them answered. They all turned around to see a figure in a black hooded cloak that covered his face.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Espio asked as he jumped in front of Suicune and pulled out a small spear.

"As for who, I am an enigma and a man who has lost his life. As for what, I want you to research your surroundings. It may lead you to make a promise." The figure answered. He then jumped of the side of the building they stood on.

"Wait!" Sonic shouted as he ran to the side. He looked over it but the figure was gone.

"Make a promise?" Sonic whispered confusedly.

"Wait a minute, I have an idea! Why don't we go back in time before these events ever happened and then we could stop all of this from happening?!" Sonic asked. Tails looked at his tracker.

"I actually think that's possible! There's a machine with five chaos emeralds over at a building nearby!" Tails shouted.

"Sweet! Let's go!" Sonic shouted.

They ran to the building and revved up the machine.

"Ready?!" Sonic asked.

"Let's go!" Tails shouted as they jumped into the beam of light. They landed in Tails's workshop.

"Okay, we didn't find a chaos emerald and everything's done! Right?" Sonic asked. They all nodded.

"Sonic?" A familiar voice called. Sonic turned around to see Emerald at the doorway.

"Emerald." Sonic whispered. He stood up, ran over to Emerald and hugged her. At first Emerald stared at him but soon hugged him back.

CyberFire0502: You idiots! That has nothing to do with what I intended at all!

Sonic: I know, but it made us all seem like emos. We're not living Kingdom Hearts you know.

CyberFire0502: Dude, shut up! We might offend the loyal readers, but you do have a point. Don't worry guys, I'll still put in some action! I think I'll grant Airiko the angel's request. See ya tomorrow! If not sooner!
