Lost in the Moment

(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series (Season 23) - English Dub Opening)

(Abigail's POV)

*Sonic & I struggled in the grip of our friend Sally, who been turned into a robot called Mecha Sally. She held each of us up by throat. She was mostly paying attention to Sonic as Eggman laughed behind us*

Mecha Sally: HEDGEHOG. PRIORITY ONE.

Sonic: No . . . Sal . . .

Abigail:*tears forming in her eyes* Sally . . . Please, no . . .

Sonic: C'mon, Sally . . . Fight it! I know you're in there! Don't let the Doc win this one! Please . . . Don't make us fight you . . .

*Eggman stood up, holding his back*

Dr. Eggman:*laughing* Ahhh, Princess. You may, have set my plans back, but this is a delightful consultation prize! Come along, now. It's time to take out the trash. *Mecha Sally carried up to the elevator & then down a ramp. a bunch of spider robots were moving a pile of scrap metal towards the center of the room below* I suppose the sensible thing to do would be to have her just walk all three of you into an incinerator, but I want to enjoy this little turnabout.

Sonic: GRRRK! Won't . . . Get away . . . With this!

*The floor of the room opened & the pile of metal fell out*

Dr. Eggman: Oh, please, Rodent. That tiresome old time? Toss him and his little friend out, my dear.

Abigail: Sally . . . Don't . . . Please . . .

*Mecha Sally just silently dropped us. Sonic pulled me close to him as we fell. We then landed on the wing of the Tornado, him holding me bridal style*

Sonic:*cough* Thanks for the save.

Tails: Sure, but what's going on? Where's Sally?

*More tears filled my eyes*

Sonic: . . . I couldn't save her. Again.

Tails: What do you mean? What happened?

Sonic: I'll explain on the way. Just get me back up there!

Tails: All . . . All right . . .

*Suddenly, I felt a familiar surge go through me. I got annoyed*

Abigail:*in her mind* Oh, now you decide to give me a vision you stupid rock!

(Vision - Third-Person POV)

*Up in the Sky Patrol, the Freedom Fighters & Geoffrey all watched as Titan Metal Sonic destroyed the city*

Antoine: Did he just shoot a gigantimous robot at ze city!?

Bunnie: You and Rotor concentrate on flyin', Sugar! I'll take care of that thing!

*She ran towards the back of the ship & a hatch opened up. She jumped out*

Amy: Hit it once for me!

*Bunnie then activated her rocket feet & flew down to the city*

*Down on the ground, Naugus was on his feet, still a little groggy*

Ixis Naugus: What is that!? One of the Doctor's creations is menacing my city! Quiet - All of you! I won't let Robot destroying my Kingdom before I can claim it!

*He created a tornado around himself & flew towards Titan Metal Sonic. In the city, everyone was running for their lives*

Citizen #1: HELP!

Citizen #2: WHAT IS THAT THING!

Citizen #3: RUN!

*Naugus & Bunnie began flying next to each other*

Bunnie: This scene is gruesome enough without you here too!

Naugus: Curb your insolence and help me destroy this menace! *Bunnie fired a laser at the giant robot & Naugus hit it with fire & a tornado* No, it's not too hard for me to defeat! Silence! I can handle it! I'll show you! I'LL SHOW YOU ALL!

*He let loose a powerful blast of crystalline magic. It covered both Bunnie & Titan Metal Sonic with green crystal*

(Reality - Abigail's POV)

*My eyes went wide as soon as the vision finished*

Sonic: What's wrong!? What did you see!?

*I ignored him & opened my holographic wristwatch*

Abigail: Bunnie! Bunnie, come in!

*Bunnie appeared as a mini hologram just as she fired a laser from her hand*

Bunnie:*off-screen* What's up, Abby-Girl!? I'm kinda busy at the moment!

Abigail: I know! But just listen! If Naugus unleashes a a blast of magic, avoid it!

Bunnie:*off-screen* Why? Did you have another -

Abigail: Just trust me!

(Third-Person POV)

Ixis Naugus: No, it's not too hard for me to defeat! Silence! I can handle it! I'll show you! I'LL SHOW YOU ALL!

*He let loose a powerful blast of crystalline magic that covered Titan Metal Sonic in green crystal. Bunnie was able to get out of the way before she was hit by the blast*

(Abigail's POV)

*We flew back towards the Death Egg with the Sky Patrol next to us. The bottom of the Death Egg began to glow yellow*

Sonic: After all that . . . What elsedoes it have!? *suddenly, it then launched a giant laser. It hit the Tornado & the Sky Patrol & headed straight for New Mobotropolis. just then, the crystal encased Titan Metal Sonic stood in front of the city & blocked the laser, getting destroyed in the process. Tails carried Sonic, who carried me in his free arm down to the wreckage of the Tornado & the Sky Patrol. Bunnie met up with us. I was relieved to see her unhurt* Oh, man . . .

Abigail: Please don't let anybody be hurt.

*Suddenly, the bottom door of the Sky Patrol was smashed open by Amy's hammer. *

Amy: I said "OPEN!"

*She stepped out with everyone else stepped out. Bunnie ran into Antoine's arms, Tails set us on the ground, & we went to check on her & the others*

Sonic: Is anyone hurt?

Amy: I think we're all okay. Antoine & Rotor were amazing. What about the Tornado?

Abigail: We had to bail.

Sonic: Okay, you're all fine here. I'm going after the Death Egg.

*He started to walk away*

Amy: What? Sonic, you look like you can barely stand!

Geoffrey St. John: We barely scraped through this fight! What's so important you can't - ? Wait. Sally went in with you. Where is she?

*I felt tears in my eyes again & Sonic clenched his fists*

Tails: She disabled the Death Egg's greatest weapon. But she was . . . She was . . . Eggman has her.

*Bunnie gasped in horror & began to cry on Antoine's shoulder. Rotor looked horrified*

Sonic: Right. The planes are down, but I can still run. I'll get her back.

*He was about to take off, but Amy grabbed his hand*

Amy: Sonic - No! You're in no condition to fight on your own!

Sonic: Amy . . .

Geoffrey St. John: Look, mate. The city's been attacked. We need to . . .

*Antoine, Bunnie, & Rotor all glared at him*

Antoine: Shut ze face! We were already distracted enough by you! You are not ze one to be trying to help now!

*Amy now had her arms wrapped around Sonic & Tails had his hand*

Sonic: Look . . . I can . . . I can still . . .

Tails: Sonic . . . We'll get her back. But not now. We just can't right now.

Amy: Sonic, please . . . We need you here . . .

*Sonic then looked at me. I had tears in my eyes as I gave him a pleading look. He then sighed & we all walked back to the city. We entered the city through a hole in the wall around the city. Green crystals were everywhere. Cream then flew up to us, holding a creepy looking doll that looked like Tails with a red jewel on it's head*

Cream: There you are, Mr. Sonic! Please, follow me!

*We followed her to the city where we heard the people cheering, but they were cherring something that made me sick*

Crowd: RAH! RAH! HORRAY FOR NAUGUS, OUR HERO!

*There was a huge crowd of Mobians around something*

Amy: Sonic . . . The cheering . . .

Sonic: It's not for us.

*We pushed through a crowd of Mobians & saw Naugus standing on top of the fallen Titan Metal Sonic, holding his staff above his head*

Citizen #1: He stopped the giant Metal Sonic!

Citizen #2: He saved us from the Death Egg!

Citizen #3: He can protect us from Doctor Eggman!

Citizen #4: We want our new hero!
