Angel: It's finally here! The first episode of the last season! Wahoo! I do have plans for when I'm done with this story, but it's not Sonic-related. Let's just say that I've been working my fingers off on the next one to get the second season done...
Bajy: Look at the review I accidentally sent for this one. I meant to put it here but I ended up putting it on the previous chapter. The review that had how hard it is to say goodbye to someone. Love this chapter! Looking forward to reading more soon!
Angel: It's fine. Sometimes I forget where I'm saying things too. Like when I got 400 reviews and I forgot to mention it. Then again, I was leaving the next day for Florida...anyway, thanks for all the reviews, everyone!
Dream lighting: Wow nice chapter never anger a mother bear egg head looking forward to this season and Chris showing up write TMNT 2003 season keep going
Angel: ? That story's been done since November of 2017. Did we time travel?
Johanvanguard: It's good to see that Elliot, Valentina, Amy, even Eggman and the others were concerned of Sonic and Sophia would return. That was a great improvement to Tails' plane that Chuck secretly made to it. I'm glad that Sonic and Sophia returned just in time to defeat Eggman easily. Those were some great reunions that Sophia had with her parents and that Sonic had with Amy. Nice to see that Chris and his friends are doing well and still remember Sonic and Sophia. It would be great if Chris' machine works so one day he and the others can go to the other world to see Sonic, Sophia, and the others. For the next chapter, I wonder how Sophia will react to the new enemy and new ally.
Angel: That Sonamy moment is my favorite in the whole show, hands down. I actually hadn't seen it in a while...XD Though, I do remember it was mentioned in a Sonic Q&A from Youtube.
Devin sands: I don't suppose you will involve Xenia in season 3 when the Metarex attacks
Angel: Never say never. I don't suppose you won't eat your own words as the season continues.
Guest: I'm surprised that Sophia cut her hair and her parents weren't bothered I wonder how her friends will react to her new hairstyle and their journey in space including how they'll meet Cosmo
Angel: Eh. I figured it was time to do it. I don't think she needs to get her hair caught in engines anytime soon.
Sophia: Yes, and, well...my hair can be hard to maintain at times. I don't look this good without help.
In space, two certain people are dashing around among the stars. They make a constellation and then it's quiet. Pieces of at least a dozen robots are floating around, Super Sonic and Super Sophia appearing among the debris. They pant tiredly as they stare at someone. Super Sonic holds his shoulder, Super Sophia putting a hand on her stomach.
He's tougher than we thought! We better finish this.
Their target is not Eggman, but a large bio-robot. He has one large, green eye and carries a golden sword. His armor is comprised of varied shades of purple, with a large green orb on his chest and two tattered halves of a black cape hanging from his shoulders. He pulls out a large sword, Super Sophia pulling out her tiny one. She holds it up into the sky as stars surround it. A white glow surrounds her sword before it transforms into a larger one, as it's taller than her. The two jump towards the robot, but they're knocked back by his power. They take a moment to catch their breath, glaring at their new foe.
"Your defeat is certain. Give me the Chaos Emeralds, and I will spare your lives," The robot demands. The two simply hold out their arms, the 7 Chaos Emeralds appearing behind them.
"Chaos Control!" They exclaim in unison, the powerful emeralds glowing brightly. They then fly off in seven different directions, spreading them throughout the galaxy. The villain looks at the smirking two and because the emeralds are now gone, they don't have enough power to fly. They head straight for their world head first. Sophia moves over so that she's behind Sonic, gripping onto him.
The robot looks at his damaged side, having his answer. "Sonic and Princess Sophia have only delayed my triumph. Those emeralds will be mine. Alert my forces across the galaxy. Begin the search for the Chaos Emeralds at once. Do not rest until you bring them all to me."
Dozens of red eyes blink behind him as he leaves the planet behind. "Remove the planet egg..." He chuckles evilly to himself, disappearing into the stars.
Princess Sophia and Sonic truly didn't know what they've done...
As they continue falling, Sophia and Sonic turn back to normal, flying almost like comets in the sky.
"How much longer do we have to wait, Tails?" Cream asks as it's a full moon tonight.
"I'm not exactly sure, Cream," He answers uncertainly. "Not too long."
"This would be so romantic if Sonic were here to see it with me!" Amy fangirls as they're sitting in the grass. There would be a meteor shower tonight, and Tails wanted to see it. "Soon the whole sky will be filled with shooting stars!"
"According to the astronomers, we only get a meteor shower this humongous once every 500 years," Tails states, "We're really lucky to be here. I wonder if Sophia got to see one before we did."
"I sure wouldn't want to wait that long to see it again. Would you?" Cream asks Cheese, who agrees with her.
"We should all make a wish," Amy suggests with a smile.
"Why should we do that?" Tails asks in confusion.
"Chris told us if you make a wish whenever you see a shooting star, it'll come true!" Cream recites, "Remember, Tails?"
"Yeah," He answers sadly, remembering all the friends they had to leave behind...he wondered what they were doing now. It wasn't easy to leave, especially for Chris... "It's too bad Chris and Chuck aren't here to see this with us."
"I miss them," Cream looks towards the ground. It had only been six months since they last saw them, but it felt like forever. "I wish we could go back to their world for a visit."
They look up at the sky to see a shooting star. "It's starting!" Tails looks at his camera.
"They look like fireworks!" Cream says in awe as Tails records the shower.
Elsewhere, Valentina and Elliot stare up at the stars as it reminded them of home. She smiles as she hugs her husband and he hugs her back. It had been tradition for him and his family to watch the shower every 500 years. He first met Valentina at a meteor shower, actually, when they ended up stopping on the same planet to watch it. It just reminded him of how much he loved that special day...the day that started his whole life.
"I'm sure glad I brought a camera," Tails smiles happily. However, one of them seems to be heading right towards them!
"That sure is a weird-looking meteor," Amy stares up at it.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say it's heading straight for us," Cream notices its line of direction and they duck underneath it. It zips right past them before there's an explosion. Smoke surrounds the area as they peek at it.
"That's no shooting star."
It's actually a ship, a plant-like alien girl laying in front of it. She wears a green and white dress with long sleeves, a red amulet, white leggings, green slippers, and two golden hairbands in her green chin-length hair holding up closed rose buds in her hair.
Tails runs up to her, laying her on his lap. She makes a noise, indicating that she's just asleep. "She needs medical help."
"Your house is the closest one around here, Cream. I think we should take her there," Amy suggests as she frowns in worry.
"I'll go tell Mother you're coming," Cream uses her ears to fly into the air, Tails staring at the girl. He's never seen anyone like her before.
I wonder who she is, and where she came from.
He looks up to the sky, wondering if she's from space...and if Sophia knows her.
The meteor shower passes by a certain base. It's tall, red, and black, with a few traces of white. Sonic and Sophia are sleeping on cots next to each other, exhausted from being in super form for so long. Sonic slightly lifts his eyes, opening them fully. They widen as he realizes that he's not in space anymore. He sits up in alarm, looking around. He sees the princess still asleep. Her hair had lengthened a little when she cut it and she now has a braid on the side of it. Instead of wearing what she had on Chris's world, she now has a white long-sleeved blouse which has frills on the end of the sleeves. Her skirt is a faded purple at the top and pink at the bottom, cherry blossoms decorating it. Her boots are ankle length and pink with black laces and 2 inch heels. She has black leggings covering her legs, with a silver bracelet on her left arm.
"Princess!"
"It's about time."
He turns his head to the voice, Sophia opening her eyes slowly. She realizes where she is and sits up, both of them turning to the right. Eggman is sitting there. He slightly turns to them.
"Eggman...what happened?"
"Why are we here?" Sophia narrows her eyes at him suspiciously.
"I've been sitting here for the better part of a week waiting for you to wake up and tell me." Eggman ran from his base, Bokkun following after him late at night. "I was out jogging to maintain my perfect physique when I spotted something." Eggman looked surprised at the sight, narrowing his eyes. There lay Sonic, on top of Sophia as his quills touched her body. She protected him from the hard fall. "You two were in pretty bad shape, you two. You were battered like a fish stick. And it's lucky Sophia's spine wasn't dislocated. It was a tough decision. I didn't know whether to save you, or wait for the tide to come in. Ha ha ha!"
Sophia rolls her eyes at him. "You were in terrible shape, Sonic and your highness," Bocoe speaks up. "Dr. Eggman saved your life."
"If he hadn't, he wouldn't have anybody to pick on," Decoe smiles, Eggman's mouth opening at him. Bokkun flies in front of the two, holding two cups.
"So how'd you end up passed out on the beach, anyway?" He asks curiously.
"We were fighting somebody," Sonic suddenly stands up, spilling the tea all over Bokkun. "Hey, sorry, but we can't stay anymore."
"Sonic's right. He's still out there, and he could hurt other people," Sophia hands Bokkun a napkin, both of them speeding out of there. Bokkun gets dizzy as they sped right past him.
"You're leaving?" Eggman asks in surprise. They come back to face him.
"See you later, Eggman," Sonic replies, Sophia saluting with two fingers. They leave the base, the two minion robots glaring at them.
"Hey! You owe us, Sonic and Princess Sophia!"
"You run fast, but when it comes to paying your debt, you sure are slowpokes!"
"Yeah!"
"What deadbeats!" Bokkun exclaims in anger, Eggman placing a hand on his cheek. "Sonic, Princess, you ingrates!"
"That is the last time we help you!"
"Yeah, patients like you two make me sick!"
Rouge is watching in the vents, smirking to herself. "Ahh..." Perhaps this information could be useful...
The meteor shower is still going as the girl who crash landed onto their planet is asleep. She takes shaky breaths as she remembers running. An explosion happened, and when she looked up, she gasped in horror to see a brown bio-robot...the same type that Sonic and Sophia were fighting. She looked in fear as someone called her name...
"Cosmo! Run away!"
She opens her eyes and sees the green ceiling. "Look, she's waking up," A kind voice notices. She sees Vanilla, Tails, Cream, and Amy staring down at her in worry. She slowly sits up. "Careful, dear. Don't try to get up," Vanilla tells her gently. She turns to them with a gentle smile.
"You were in a big crash. You're really lucky that you didn't have any serious injuries," Amy explains.
"Maybe you can tell us your name and where you and your ship came here from," Cream suggests softly.
Cosmo gasps in horror, covering her mouth with her hands. She remembers everything...all of the horrible things she's seen, and what she had to leave behind. If she were to speak of it...and to strangers? That would be a grave mistake.
"I can't," She grips the blanket.
"You mean, you can't remember?" Cream asks curiously.
"I can, but...I can't tell you."
"Why?" Tails wonders.
"I'm looking for people on this planet named Sonic the Hedgehog, your king and queen, and their daughter. It's very important that I speak with them as soon as possible, before it's too late..."
"You can talk to us. We'll help you if we can," Tails offers and she hangs her head. "What's the matter?" He wanted to see if he could do something for this girl...he didn't know why, but there was something about her.
"I can't tell you."
"Well I have a right to know what this is all about!" Amy yells in her face, angry that this random girl wants to see Sonic.
"Huh?" Cosmo is very confused.
"Sonic's my boyfriend, and you better not be trying to move in on him!" She accuses, Cream trying to pull her away. This girl had just woken up from a deep sleep, and the last thing she needed was an angry Amy. Eggman is a full example on why no one should have to face Amy's wrath.
"Amy! She didn't come here to date him!"
Cosmo blinks in confusion at them.
"We're friends with Sonic and the royal family, so maybe we can help," Tails tells her, rubbing his neck as he remembers something. "Well, friends is putting it lightly. I'm the royal mechanic of the princess..."
"Friends? Royal mechanic?"
"My name's Miles Prower," Tails gestures to himself, "But everybody calls me by my nickname Tails."
"And I'm Cream. We're very happy to meet you," Cream smiles softly.
"And my name's Amy Rose. You're not gonna be here long, are you?" Amy asks, still a little miffed at her. Cosmo sighs slightly, wondering if she can really trust them. These were the right coordinates, so she knew she was in the right place...and Tails seems to be honest. No one could make up being a royal mechanic.
Suddenly there's a thud outside, making them all gasp. Amy, Cream, and Tails look out the window. "What's that?" Something comes down from the clouds...and it's not exactly a plane.
"It's something big," Tails comments in worry.
"You should stay in bed," They turn around to see Cosmo standing up, Vanilla's hands on her shoulders. She slowly walks up to the window, noticing what's coming down onto the planet. It's a large robot ship, her eyes glistening in worry.
"It's another Metarex..."
The ship is almost as big as Angel Island, floating above all the trees and houses. Speaking of Angel Island, Knuckles is sleeping there in front of the Master Emerald like he usually would. He hears something and sits up, gasping in surprise at the new ship. His mouth opens in shock as he watches it land between some trees nearby the island. The ship turns into a large robot.
"This looks like...trouble," He gasps in concern. The eye turns on bright red.
"Preparing area for planet egg removal." A laser zaps the trees into pieces, starting to destroy the forest.
"If that thing isn't stopped, it's gonna burn up every tree in the forest!" He gasps in horror. "The palace along with it..." The palace is near Angel Island, and the robot is heading right to it!
The forest is starting to burn into ashes.
"Hey! Knock it off, you fire bot!" Knuckles tries punching through it, but the metal is too strong. The robot swings its arm, knocking the echidna away. He lands on the ground, sliding to a safe stop. He growls up at the robot and a few missiles from the sky fire at it. He looks up to see Tails flying by.
"Knuckles!"
"Alright. Maybe we can stop him together," He eyes the golden plane. Cosmo is sitting behind Tails, who looks worried. She came along because she seems to be the only one who knows about these Metarex.
"This doesn't look good," He stares down at the forest. "Oh no, the king and queen are near this area! Someone has to warn them before the fire escalates to them..."
Cosmo stares at the robot as it continues destroying the forest. "Looks like our only choice is to keep pounding away!" Knuckles runs up to the robot, Tails flying in the other direction.
"We're going on the attack! Are you ready?"
"Yes," Cosmo tells him and he fires again.
Luckily for the king and queen, Amy and Cream had stopped by to grab them. The six run up to the damage, seeing the burning forest.
"Oh dear..." Valentina looks in horror at the robot up ahead.
"The whole forest's on fire," Cream places a hand on her cheek.
"This can't be a coincidence," Amy murmurs to herself. This must've been a planned attack, but why? Valentina places her hand on Cream's shoulders, staring intensely at the robot. She feels like she's been affiliated with it...but she can't remember how.
The plane flies around the robot.
"I have a feeling that girl may know why this is happening. I wish there was a way to convince her to talk to us," She eyes the plane.
"Girl? What girl?" Elliot glances at Amy, looking back up in the sky.
"There was a girl who crashed here, your highness," Cream speaks up. "We don't know her name, but she had a space ship with her."
Elliot looks to his wife, both of them silently wondering if they knew anything about her.
Cosmo looks at all the destruction, upset that she couldn't do more.
Knuckles jumps into the air, but gets knocked away. No doubt about it, this new enemy was very powerful. Tails fires electricity at it, but it has no effect. "Our lasers have no effect."
"You need to use much stronger attacks if you're ever going to beat the Metarex," Cosmo speaks up knowingly.
"Do you know why it came here or why it's destroying all the trees?" Tails asks. By the tone of her voice, she's seen this happen before.
"Its mission...is to find the life force of this planet and steal it away."
He frowns at that explanation. Suddenly, two people come spinning past, knocking into the robot at high speed. The robot falls onto the ground with a small crash and they land on a cliff nearby. Sonic and Sophia stand up, smirking.
"It's Sonic and the princess!" Amy and Cream cheer, holding hands. Cheese and Rose cheer also, the king and queen smiling. Without any powers, they can't do anything, but Sophia can...
Hopefully.
"They're back," Tails smiles at them and Cosmo gasps at the sight of them. She bumps into the glass, holding her head. "Are...you okay?"
"Yes. So those are Sonic and Sophia, our final hope..." She sees their determined faces to save their world. Glancing to the side, she also sees the king and queen. The ashes from the fire fly by, whisking past Sophia's blowing hair. The robot stands onto its feet, staring at who just knocked it down. This fight would determine whether this planet would live...
Or die.
"You're the one who's going down in flames now!" Sonic declares, Sophia clenching a fist.
"You burned this forest. My parents could've been hurt! And now you'll suffer the consequences!" Sophia shouts at it, Sonic rubbing his nose with a chuckle.
Meanwhile, in Station Square, as the sun is going down, some calculations are being made. Chris works furiously to get this done, taking a bite out of his dinner. Everything was riding on this. He swallows his bite as an idea comes to mind.
"Hey, I know. Maybe if I increase the energy to the transport circuits..." The computer stops computing. "That's it! Alright! It's finally time to try this out." He smiles slightly, standing up. He walks over to his recent project.
"My machine's like the one Grandpa and Tails built that sent Sonic and the others back home, but it doesn't need Chaos Emeralds. If it works, I'll finally see Sonic and Sophia again..." He smiles fondly at the thought of how everyone must be doing. Sophia's probably queen by now, and probably still doesn't look a day older. Amy and Sonic are probably hanging out. Tails is most likely doing machines for the royal family. Knuckles is watching the Master Emerald, something he'd never give up, all while being the knight for the palace.
Shadow is probably still missing...
Cream and her mom are maybe picking flowers, Cheese and Rose hanging out together...
And Rouge? He doesn't even need to guess.
He looks at a photo sitting on the window frame. It's of him, Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Sophia, smiling at the camera. He took this back when he, Sophia, Amy, and Tails were caught in that robot while Sonic and Knuckles were fighting because of Eggman.
The leaves fly by from the wind, which also knocks down the picture, breaking the frame. He gasps sharply and runs over to it, carefully picking it up and examining it.
"I'm coming."
He stares at it fondly through the broken glass.
Soon...he would see them again...
"Heads up, guys!" Tails drops two rings towards his friends.
"Thanks, Tails!" Sonic jumps up and catching it, Sophia holding up her arm. She catches the ring in her fingers and they go into super spin mode, but the armor is too strong when they try to pierce through it like they normally would. Claws come out from the chest plate and they gasp, flying past all of them. Knuckles goes in to attack, only to be knocked back, again.
"Knuckles!" Sophia jumps into the air, catching the echidna. She lands on the grass next to Sonic, cringing at her still injured back. She grunts in pain.
"It's...pretty tough," Knuckles mutters as he looks up at the mechanical menace. He hears groaning underneath him, only now realizing that Sophia's arms are still around him. He gasps, looking down at the girl. "Princess!"
"Are you okay?" Sonic asks and she sits up.
"Nothing I...can't handle." She slowly stands up. The echidna smiles at her protective nature.
"We can beat him, buddies," Sonic states and Knuckles gets onto his feet.
"Got a plan?"
"Triple team," Sonic simply says, "Let's go!" He takes off into a run, surprising the other two. They follow after him.
"I thought Sophia and Sonic would move much more quickly than they do..." Cosmo notices that the two aren't running as fast. In fact, they're running at normal speed. Sophia grits her teeth in pain. Cosmo looks closer and sees that the princess has scratches on her back from where she landed. So...despite her injuries, the princess still fights...how noble. The rumors were true. She doesn't go down without a fight. I only hope that it's not too late for their planet.
"Something's not right. They're not moving as fast as they usually do," Tails frowns in concern.
The robot sparks electricity from the eye, Sophia and Sonic covering themselves. Knuckles squeezes his eyes shut as Tails comes in, firing more missiles. Like last time, they don't have any effect. It's like the armor is made out of titanium.
"This is impossible!" He sweats nervously. "No matter how hard we hit that, it keeps going."
"You'll have to use the Chaos Emeralds to stop this thing," Knuckles looks up at it, looking to the other two. Sophia rubs her arm nervously, knowing fully well that he'll be angry from what they're about to tell him. However, by the look of her face, that's not the only thing that seems to be troubling her. Something else seems to be on her mind. "I'll distract it with a frontal attack so you can move in and finish it off."
"We'd like to," Sonic sweats a bit, "But we don't happen to have the Chaos Emeralds with us right now."
"...W-Where are they?" He was silently hoping that they were in Sophia's box back at the palace. If he's hearing what he thinks he's hearing...
"Well," Sonic scratches the side of his head, "We kind of got into this fight out in space, and the bad guy was gonna take 'em from us, so we sent 'em away."
Knuckles blinks slowly, noticing Sophia's troubled face and how silent she is. She feels uncomfortable telling Knuckles, so she's letting Sonic do all the talking. He knows her too well, though, and senses that she has something on her mind. Something she doesn't know if it's real or not. He's so shocked at Sonic, however, that he has no time to ask what's wrong. "You finally had all seven Chaos Emeralds together...and you threw them away?"
"Exactly," Sonic answers, Sophia biting a lip as she looks nervous by Knuckles' questioning. She only hopes that Knuckles could forgive. She knows how important the Chaos Emeralds are to him. He spent his life watching over the Master Emerald on her parents' orders. She feels guilty since they didn't want their enemy to take them and do unspeakable things...she had to do it, for her people. Surely he'd understand.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" She covers her ears as Knuckles gets into Sonic's face. "WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!"
"I guess we're gonna have to find 'em again," Sonic replies, a claw reaching out to them. It hits them and they're sent flying.
"Oh no!" Amy exclaims as the six approach the cliff.
"Are you okay?" Cream calls out.
"Sophia, Knuckles, Sonic," Valentina says in worry. A claw reaches out to Cream.
"Look out!" Amy pushes her friends out of the way, narrowly missing it. Cheese panics and when they look up, they see why. Something blue shoots out from the gap between them.
"Proceeding with planet egg removal."
Soon, dirt lifts up from the beam. "Oh no!" Cosmo shouts at it. The beam grows larger, and the six cover their eyes at the flash. Knuckles, Sophia, and Sonic can only stare in shock as a crater is left behind.
"Oh my goodness..." Elliot whispers at it. Something glows from the crater, and it's captured by the robot.
"What in the world is that?" Knuckles has never seen it before, and that's saying a lot. Tails flies by as Cosmo looks on in dismay.
"He's found the planet egg."
"What's the planet egg?" Tails asks curiously. The planet egg looks like a vortex as it's encased inside the box.
"It's the life force that sustains your world."
The trees start withering away. "The planet egg is what gives your world the power to support life." All the trees start dying. "Without it, every living thing here will soon perish."
Amy, Cream, Valentina, Elliot, Rose, and Cheese look around in horror at the lack of plants left. Sophia glances all around her, horrified by what she's seeing. Never had she seen anything like this...
The robot snatches the planet egg. "Procedure complete. Lift off." The robot takes its leave.
"HOLD IT!" Both Sonic and Sophia shout, spin dashing. They get knocked down by a claw.
"I gotcha," Knuckles jumps in and save them both, his eyes swirling in pain from the landing. The six run up to them as the robot then escapes.
"I'll stop that thing," Tails flies after it and the robot goes further into space. Tails tries as best as he can, but he's restricted. "I can't go any higher because this plane wasn't designed to travel into space."
He hears groaning and turns around to see Cosmo getting sick. "Are you alright, Cosmo?"
"I'm just...a little...dizzy," She tells him, snapping out of it.
"I'm sorry," Tails frowns to himself. "I just wish I got the planet egg back."
Cosmo holds out a hand to the glass. "Could you...open this for a moment, please?"
"Huh?" He asks in concern, turning to her. He had no idea why she asked such a thing.
"You can open it while you're flying, can't you?"
"Yeah, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to do it at this altitude..." At the altitude they're at, it wasn't safe.
"Please Tails," She gives him a pleading look. She needed to do this.
"Okay, if you really want me to." He opens it up and she gasps in awe. "There you go." He gasps in shock as she jumps out, sweating nervously. He had no idea what she's doing, but he had to trust her.
"You didn't put up much of a fight against that thing, Sonic. Are you sure you're feeling okay?" Knuckles comments, Valentina pinching his ear. "Ow, ow, ow!"
"Knuckles, manners," She warns him, glancing at Sophia, who hadn't said a word. Her arms are crossed as she gives a troubled look to the ground. Clearly something was bothering her...
"Ah, it's okay, Sophia," Knuckles waves it off, the princess looking up in surprise. "You did what you had to do," He winks at her and she smiles only in slight relief.
"You don't seem like your old self," Amy says in concern to Sonic.
"It's been a long day, so I guess I'm a little tired," Sonic looks at his arm.
"Sophia, darling, is everything alright?" Elliot approaches his daughter.
"Well...Father, I-"
Sonic gasps and they look up to see Cosmo floating down towards them using her skirt. Elliot and Valentina glance at each other knowingly. Cosmo dusts herself off once she lands, smiling at Sonic and Sophia.
"My name is Cosmo. I've come a long way to see you. I need to speak with you, Sonic and your highnesses," She curtsies to the royal family.
"Okay," Sonic agrees slowly.
"Go ahead," Sophia encourages quietly. She glances around uncomfortably. The princess couldn't help but feel that this was all too familiar somehow...like she's lived through this before. But that would mean her parents were keeping something else from her, right? However, if that were true...
Why does it all feel so similar? Like she's seen all of this?
"I have sought you all out because I know you have the power to control the Chaos Emeralds, and that you know how to stop the Metarex," Cosmo looks at the king and queen. "I have come here because you are the ones who can rescue the galaxy." She bows her head.
"We are?" Sonic asks in surprise.
"You know them?!" Sophia looks up at her parents.
Tails' plane heads towards Angel Island when he sees a glint. "What's that?" It's the Master Emerald as it blinks repeatedly, as if something's happening... "Guys, it's happening!"
They glance back to see Tails running over to them, panting.
"What's happening?" Knuckles demands, sensing something off. And that it has to do with the Master Emerald.
Tails leads them to the Master Emerald as it continues glowing.
Dear Mom and Dad and everybody, I'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye. I knew if I said anything, you'd try and stop me from trying to travel to Sonic and Sophia's world. It's very important to me, so I hope you'll understand.
Chris is staring at the now operational portal that he had just finished. This was it...he was finally going to get to see their world.
Don't worry. I'll be fine, and I'll be back. I'll miss you all. Mom, and Dad, Grandpa, Danny, Frances, and Helen. I love you, Chris.
PS: I'll tell Sonic and the others you said hello.
There's a flash and Chris is gone...it's as if he was never there.
The Master Emerald grows brighter and they all stare at it, wondering what's going on. Valentina grips Sophia's shoulders. She...couldn't tell her daughter the truth yet...but soon. She never thought that it would come to this, but it has, and now she's faced with the past...
A shadow appears in front of the Master Emerald as he stands there, all of their mouths open in surprise. He slowly steps up to them.
"Hey, that's Chris!" Sophia, Sonic, and Knuckles all say at the same time.
"It worked..." Chris sounds younger... "I-I did it! I actually did it! Sonic! Sophia!" He falls to the ground, looking at his younger hand. He glances at his overgrown clothing, gasping in shock. Instead of being 18 like he was in Station Square, Chris...
Is now 12 again.
He screams, the Master Emerald continuing to glow...
