(Ayla's POV)

*It's been a few days since Chaos attacked Station Square. The whole city was in ruins. Luckily, everyone was working together to fix everything. Right now, I was traveling through the city on my board looking for anyone who needed help. Suddenly, I heard something that sounded like a child crying. I screeched to a halt*

Ayla: Hey! *I looked around & heard the sound coming from a nearby building* In there. *I went inside & found a little boy crying in the corner of the room* Hey, are okay?

*The little boy looked up at me with tears in his eyes*

Jim: Ayla!

*He ran up to me, wrapped his arms around me, & started crying on my shoulder. I hugged him & rubbed his back*

Ayla: It's okay. You're okay. *I picked him up* Let's get you back to your Mom & Dad, okay.

Jim: Okay!

*I took him to Chris' School that had had been turned into a disaster relief shelter. I went up to a couple talking to a Police Officer*

Ayla: Excuse me. Is this your son?

Jim: Ma!

Woman: Jim! You're safe!

*She took Jim in her arms*

Man: Ayla, thanks a lot.

Woman: You're wonderful.

Ayla: You're welcome. I'm just happy to help.


(Third-person POV)

*At the White House, the President was tackling a mountain of paperwork. Standing next to him was Christine Cooper (an adult human woman with brown hair, light brown skin, & bluish gray eyes wearing yellow glasses, a tan suit, & a white shirt), his new Aide*

Mr. President: When I ran for this job, I thought I'd be tackling the world's problems head on. Instead I'm the most powerful paper pusher in the world. *he looked at the TV* I wish I wish just once I could do something heroic, like Sonic or Ayla.

Christine Cooper: Here's the bill declaring Station Square to be a disaster area.

Mr. President: Oh well, I suppose somebody has to sign this stuff.

Christina Cooper: And this is executive order 1137-8.

Mr. President: You'll have to refresh my memory.

Christina Cooper: A new series of robots will be built that are specially designed to combat Dr. Eggman.

Mr. President: Uh . . . Good idea. Am I done now?

Christina Cooper: One last thing.

Mr. President: What's this?

Christina Cooper: A security clearance. We just hired your new driver and he starts today. He's called Sam Speed. Apparently, he lives up to his name.


(Ayla's POV)

*I was back at the Thorndyke Mansion. Chris, Cream, Cheese, Chuck, Ella, & Mr. Tanaka were moving to an apartment in another city until the Mansion is fully cleaned & repaired from the flood damages. The rest of us were staying to help repair the city. Lindsey was giving Chris a hug & Cream had tears in her eyes*

Lindsey: I'll miss you, darling

Chris: Me too, Mom.

Cream: This is it. Goodbye.

Cheese: Chao.

*I knelt down to her & gave them both a hug*

Ayla: It's okay, you two. It's only temporary.

Nelson: She's right. I promise you'll all be seeing each other again in a month or two. Just as soon as we have everything cleaned up at the house.

Danny: Don't forget to send me a postcard.

Frances: For me too, Chris, kay?

Jake: Don't forget us.

Chris: I will.

Helen: I wish you could stay, Chris. Things won't be the same here without you or Mr. Stewart around.

Izzy: What happened to Mr. Stewart?

Helen: He got transferred to another School abroad.

*Izzy lowered her head in disappointment. Tyler patted her shoulder*

Chris: Isn't Sonic gonna come say goodbye?

Amy: Sonic had to run. But he did tell me to say that they'd see you later, Chris.

*Chris looked down, sad*

Tails: Don't you worry, Chris. When you're feeling lonely, just call us and we'll all hop in the X-Tornado and fly over to see ya. Sonic can run there for a visit in no time at all.

Ayla: Plus, my board can get me there in no time.

Chris: I'll still miss you guys.

Amy: Don't worry, two months isn't all that long and time passes a lot quicker when you first move to a new place.

Chris: I guess so. *soon, we were all waving them goodbye* Bye bye, guys! See ya!


(Third-person POV)

*Meanwhile, at Area 99, a group of scientists were working on a bunch of robots*

Scientist: With these robots, we can defeat Dr. Eggman once and for all.

Scientist 2: Yes, our designs are technically superior to his in every way.

*Little did they know that a little spider robot was watching them from the ceiling*


Dr. Eggman: That's an impossibility. If their robots were better, that would make them smarter than me!

Decoe: IT DOES LOOK LIKE THEY'VE MADE PROGRESS, DOCTOR.

Bocoe: IF IT IS TRUE, WE WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE!

Dr. Eggman: Then I'll find out. All I have to do is hack into their main computer, and I'll have instant access to all of their robot designs!

*He began typing on his keyboard*


*Back at Area 99, Eggman's face appeared on a screen*


Dr. Eggman: I'll log in. *he typed something & a library appeared* Great! We're in. *pictures of robots appeared on the screen* How did they come up with all these designs so quickly? *suddenly a picture of a a adult male human with a long gray mustache wearing blue pince-nez glasses, a white lab coat over a purple turtleneck sweater, gray pants, & brown shoes* It can't be!?

*He hit the spacebar on the keyboard multiple times & a diary appeared on the screen. Decoe & Bocoe looked confused*

Decoe: DR. EGGMAN?

Bocoe: IS SOMETHING WRONG?

Dr. Eggman: Unbelievable! This can only mean . . . This world . . . Is the world that I was born in! *Decoe & Bocoe looked shocked* This is Professor Gerald Robotnik, who is the greatest scientific genius of his time. He's my Grandfather.

Decoe: DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S A CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND THE ONE WE CAME FROM?

Bocoe: BUT HOW CAN THAT BE?

Dr. Eggman: The two worlds are in parallel universes and share the exact same position in time and space. Each is unaware of the other's existence. But thanks to Chaos Control, we traveled between them. Let's see if there's any data about my grandfather that can clear up this mystery. *a password box appeared* Let's try Eggman. *Error appeared on the screen* Error? *he typed something. Error appeared again* Robotnick? *Error again* No way! *just then, the image of Robotnick with a human girl (12 yrs old) with blonde hair & blue eyes wearing a blue headband, a blue shirt, over a light blue dress, & white low heeled shoes appeared in his head* Maria! Yes . . . Ma - ri - a . . . *he typed in "Maria"* Come on . . .

*"Top Secret" appeared on the screen*

Decoe: YOU DID IT!


*Back at Area 99, an alarm went off*

Security Officer: It's a hacker! He used an unknown password to get into one of our databases! It holds a top secret file that nobody's looked at for years!

Security Officer 2: What?! Cut off his access!


*A miniature police officer appeared on Eggman's screen*

Dr. Eggman: They detected us!

Decoe: DOWNLOAD PROCEEDING.

Bocoe: AFFIRMATIVE. DELETING ORIGINAL FILE FROM HOST COMPUTER.

*The mini police officer was chasing mini Eggman*

Decoe: FILE DELETION PROCEEDING.


*The people of Area 99 were in the heat of battle*

Security Officer 2: Shut down the entire system and hurry!

Security Officer: I'll try!


*Eggman gritted his teeth*

Bocoe: DOWNLOAD COMPLETE IN THREE SECONDS. *just then, the mini police officer tripped* DONE!

Decoe: ORIGINAL FILE DELETED NOW.

Dr. Eggman: Whew! Hacking sure is hard work. Now, let's look at that file. *he typed on the keyboard. as he looked through the file, he saw something that surprised him* This is . . . My Grandfather's diary!


*In a jail cell, Dr. Gerald Robotnick was typing on a computer*

Dr. Gerald Robotnick: I've done it, my greatest design is now complete. The ultimate creature, Shadow. My enemies think they have defeated me, but Shadow will carry out my orders without question. Now it sleeps, but one day in the future it will be reawakened. Shadow . . .


Dr. Eggman: . . . Will bring total destruction. I'll awaken Shadow for you, Grandfather!


*Meanwhile, in Station Square, the President, Christina, Rouge, Topaz, & the President's Advisor were all riding in a limo*

Mr. President: I need your help, Rouge. Now, I don't know much about Project Shadow other than the name. There was a file, but it was impossible for us to read the data.

Rouge: And why's that?

Mr. President: It was password protected. Unfortunately, the file was created by the same scientist who developed Project Shadow and he never told anyone the password. That was 50 years ago.

Rouge: But, somebody did figure out the password and stole the file from the laboratory.

Christina Cooper: Not only did they download the file from our system, but when that was finished, they went ahead and deleted the original file from our computer.

Rouge: That sounds just like something Eggman would do.

Mr. President: It was him.

*Rouge nodded*

Topaz: So then what's our mission, sir? Do you want us to check out Project Shadow for you?

Advisor: No, we already have an agent assigned to that duty.

Mr. President: I want you to find out why Dr. Eggman is so interested in Project Shadow and what he's planning to do with it.

Rouge: Okay.

*Christina pressed a button*

Christina Cooper: Our passengers are leaving. You can stop the car here.

Sam Speed: I know the President wouldn't want me to break the law, miss, so I'll wait till I can pull safely to the curb.


*Soon, Rouge & Topaz got out of the limo & it drove away*

Topaz: Alright, Rouge, where do we start?

Rouge: First we have to get Eggman to meet with us.

Topaz: Fat chance! He isn't exactly fans of ours.

Rouge: You're right. So we'll have to find some bait to lure him in. Which means we'll need a Chaos Emerald.

*Topaz looked confused*


(Ayla's POV)

*Later, I met up with Sonic & we were going through the city. Doing a last minute check to see if we missed any people. Just then, we heard someone crying*

Sonic: What now?

*We looked around & found the sound coming from a pile of rubble*

Ayla: It's coming from over there!

Sonic: Don't worry, we'll save ya! *he ran over to the pile really fast & smashed it to pieces* Kid, are you okay?

Bokkun: Yeah, I'm not hurt.

*All our eyes went wide went we saw who we were talking to*

Sonic & Ayla: You!?

Bokkun: You two rescued me!? I'd have gotten quiet if I'd known you two were gonna help me!

Ayla:*sarcastic* Well, sorry for saving your life.

Sonic: We apologize. We're gone!

*We were about to leave, but Bokkun stopped us*

Bokkun: Wait, don't go!

Sonic: Why not?

Bokkun: Because before you two go, I wanna tell you that I'm not gonna say thank you for saving me! *we both looked at each other confused* From now on, if you hear me crying for help, turn around and run the other way, cause if you ever try to rescue me again, you're gonna be sorry!

Sonic: We - We know what you're trying to say.

Ayla: You're welcome.

*We both zoomed down the road with Bokkun yelling after us*

Ayla:*in her mind* Why do I get the feeling that something big is about to happen?
