A Cosmic Call
(Gotta Go Fast!)
(Ayla's Theme song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
(Ayla's POV)
*It's been six months since we returned to Mobius. Things have been pretty peaceful. We've had a little trouble with Eggman, but we can handle him any old day. I do miss Chris & all the other friends we've made on Earth from time to time. But whenever I do, I look back into my scrapbook, listen to my CD & practice a few tricks on my crystal skateboard. I was enjoying the peace & quiet. If I'd only knew of the coming battle that would not only decide the fate of our world, but the whole galaxy*
*It all started on a starry cloudless night. Me, Tails, Amy, Cream, Cheese, & Gemerl were having a picnic while waiting for a meteor shower to start. Tails had even brought a video camera*
Cream: How much longer do we have to wait, Tails?
Tails: I'm not exactly sure, Cream.
Ayla: Hopefully not too long.
Gemerl: ANY MINUTE NOW.
Amy: This would be so romantic if Sonic were here to see it with me! *none of us had seen him in a week. in fact, I haven't seen Shadow or Rouge in 3 months* Soon the whole sky will be filled with shooting stars!
Tails: According to the astronomers, we only get a meteor shower this humongous once every 500 years. We're really lucky to be here.
Cream: I sure wouldn't want to wait that long to see it again. Would you?
Cheese: Chao.
Amy: We should all make a wish.
Tails: Why should we do that?
Cream: Chris told us if you make a wish whenever you see a shooting star, it'll come true. Remember, Tails?
Ayla: I sure do.
Tails: Yeah. It's too bad Chris and Chuck aren't here to see this with us.
Cream: I miss them. I wish we could go back to their world for a visit.
Gemerl: SAME HERE.
Ayla: Me too. I'd love to see Tyler, Izzy, & Jake again.
*We all looked up at the sky. Just then, a shooting star flew past. We all gasped in excitement*
Tails: It's starting!
*More & more stars went past*
Ayla: Wow!
Cream: They look like fireworks!
Gemerl: AWESOME!
Tails: I'm sure glad I brought a camera.
*Just then, I saw ball of white light getting closer & closer*
Amy: That sure is a weird-looking meteor.
Cream: If I didn't know better, I'd say it's heading straight for us.
*My eyes went wide*
Ayla: That's because it is! HIT THE DECK!
*We all ducked as it went right over our heads. It landed in the forest behind us & there was a big crash. We all ran towards it. When we got there, we were in for a big surprise*
Amy: That's no shooting star.
Ayla: You're right, Amy. It's a spaceship.
*Laying in front of the ship was a a plant girl with pale peach skin, green hair, & wearing a green dress. She had closed red flower buds in her hair. Tails went up to her & gathered her in his arms*
Tails: She needs help.
Amy: Your house is the closest one around here, Cream. I think we should take her there.
Cream: We'll go tell Mother you're coming
Cheese: Chao.
*She & Cheese flew up. Gemerl ran after them. I went up to Tails & looked at the girl*
Ayla:*in her mind* Who is she? And where did she come from?
*Tails & I looked up at the sky*
*Later, we were all at Cream's house. The girl was sleeping in Cream's bed. Just then, she opened her blue eyes with a scared gasp. Must've had a nightmare*
Vanilla: Look, she's waking up. *the girl slowly sat up* Careful, dear. Don't try to get up.
Amy: You were in a big crash. You're really lucky that you didn't have any serious injuries
Cream: Maybe you can tell us your name and where you and your ship came here from.
*The girl put her hands to her face & looked really scared*
Cosmo: I can't.
Cream: You mean, you can't remember?
Cosmo: I can . . . But I can't tell you.
Tails: Why . . .
Cosmo: I'm looking for two people on this planet named Sonic and Ayla the Hedgehogs. It's very important that I speak with them as soon as possible. Before it's too late.
Tails: You can talk to us. We'll help you if we can. What's the matter?
Cosmo: I can't tell you.
*Amy glared at her*
Amy: Well I have a right to know what this is all about! *the girl looked at her confused* Sonic's my boyfriend, and you better not be trying to move in on him!
Ayla:*in her mind* Oh brother. He's not your boyfriend! He has a girlfriend!
Cream: Amy! She didn't come here to date him!
Tails: We're friends with Sonic, so maybe we can help
Cosmo: Friends?
Tails: My name's Miles Prower, but everybody calls me by my nickname Tails.
Cream: And I'm Cream. We're very happy to meet you. And this is Cheese.
Cheese: Chao-Chao!
Gemerl: NAME'S GEMERL. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Amy: And my name's Amy Rose. You're not gonna be here long, are you?
Ayla: Amy! Will you chill!? *she just turned away from me with huff. I sighed* Anyway. I'm Ayla. Sonic's little sister. It's nice to meet you.
*The girl looked at me surprised*
Cosmo: You . . . You're Ayla? The one they call the Guardian of the Chaos Emeralds? *she took my hand in her hands* You and your brother are the galaxy's final hope.
*Now I was confused*
Ayla: What do you mean? And just who are you?
Cosmo: My name is . . .
*Suddenly, we all heard a rumbling sound. Me, Tails, Cream, & Amy all went to the window. Something was coming out of the clouds*
Cream: What's that?
Tails: It's something big.
Vanilla:*off-screen* You should stay in bed.
*We all turned around & saw Vanilla helping the girl out of bed & walk towards the window. The girl looked out the window*
Cosmo: It's another Metarex . . .
*We all looked out of again & saw it was a giant robot. It landed in a nearby forest"
Metarex Carrer: PREPARING AREA FOR PLANET EGG REMOVAL.
*Suddenly, it sent out red lightning & began setting everything on fire. I immediately ran out of the house, got out my board & flew towards the Metarex. Luckily, Angel Island was floating nearby, so I knew I would have Knuckles to back me up. I saw him deliver a punch to the Mextarx's chest & get knocked away. I caught him just before he landed*
Ayla: Hey Knuckles. Long time no see.
Knuckles: Hiyah kid.
*As I set him down on the ground, missiles were launched at the Metarex, but they didn't make a dent in it*
Tails: Knuckles! Ayla!
*We both looked up & saw the X Tornado flying overhead*
Knuckles: Alright. Maybe we can all stop him together.
Ayla: You bet! Let's do it!
*The robot sent out more red lightning Knuckles & I headed straight for the it*
Knuckles: Looks like our only choice is to keep pounding away!
Ayla: Right behind you!
*The X Tornado launched lasers. I saw Amy, Cream, Cheese, & Gemerl coming over the hill. I made gesture for them to stay there & they did. All three of us tried to attack at once up we didn't even make a scratch. Suddenly, two familiar blue & red streaks flew past the X Tornado & hit the Metarex, knocking it over. Sonic landed on a cliff just above me & Knuckles & Shadow landed on another one on the other side of him*
Ayla: Sonic! Shadow!
Sonic:*to the robot* You're the one who's going down in flames now!
Tails:*off-screen* Heads up, Sonic!
*A Power Ring fell from the X Tornado*
Sonic: Thanks, Tails!
*He caught it & did a super spin dash. Shadow wordlessly followed him. They knocked the Metarex over & claws came out of it. Sonic & Shadow dodged all of them. Knuckles then went in for a punch, but was knocked away by one of the claws. He landed on the ground next to Sonic, Shadow, & I landed next to them*
Knuckles: It's pretty tough.
Sonic: We can beat him, buddy!
Ayla: You got a plan?
Sonic: 4-way team up. Let's go!
*He ran towards the Metarex & we went after him. I suddenly noticed something*
Ayla:*in her mind* Something's wrong. Sonic's moving slower than usual.
*We were suddenly stopped by more red lightning. Tails launched more missiles, but they didn't work*
Ayla: We'll have to use the Chaos Emeralds.
Knuckles: Good idea. I'll distract it with a frontal attack so you and Ayla can move in and finish it off.
*Sonic looked nervous*
Sonic: I'd like to, but I don't happen to have the Chaos Emeralds with me right now.
*Knuckles & I looked at him with wide eyes*
Shadow: What do mean?
Knuckles: W - Where are they?
Sonic: Well, I kind of got into this fight out in space, and the bad guy was gonna take 'em from us, so I sent 'em away.
Knuckles: You finally had all seven Chaos Emeralds together . . . And you threw them away?
Sonic: Exactly!
Ayla: Big Brother, Dear . . . YOU IDIOT!
*In case you can't tell, I was really angry. Shadow didn't say anything, but he did look really annoyed. Knuckles grabbed my brother by the shoulders & got in his face*
Knuckles: ARE YOU CRAZY!? WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!?
Sonic: I guess we're gonna have to find 'em again.
*Suddenly, a claw knocked us away. Another one went straight for Amy & Cream, but Gemerl used his Screw Kick to destroy it. Suddenly, pillar of blue light shot up from the ground*
Metarex Carrer: PROCEEDING WITH PLANET EGG REMOVAL.
*A hole in the ground opened up & a bright white light filled the area. Just then, a white crystal rose up from the hole*
Knuckles: What in the world is that?
Ayla: I don't know. But something tells me it's very important.
*Suddenly, all the plants & trees around us began to wither & die. The Metarex took the crystal in it's claws*
Metarex Carrer: PROCEDURE COMPLETE. LIFTOFF.
*The Metarex went up into the air*
Sonic: Hold it!
*He did a spin dash & went up & a claw knocked him away*
Knuckles: I gotcha!
*He ran towards Sonic & caught him. Me, Amy, Cream, Cheese, & Gemerl ran towards them. The X Tornado went after the Metarex, but soon it was gone. We all gathered around*
Knuckles:*to Sonic* You didn't put up much of a fight against that thing, Sonic. Are you sure you're feeling okay?
Amy: You don't seem like your old self.
Sonic: It's been a long day, so I guess I'm a little tired.
*Just then, he looked up towards the sky. We all looked up & saw the plant girl floating down towards us. Using her skirt as a parachute. She landed right in front of us*
Ayla: Oh yeah. Sonic, this girl came here looking for us.
Cosmo: That's right. My name is Cosmo. I've come a long way to see you. I need to speak with you and your sister, Sonic
Sonic: Okay.
Cosmo: I have sought you two out because I know you both have the power to control the Chaos Emeralds, and that you know how to stop the Metarex. I have come here because you are the ones who can rescue the galaxy.
Ayla: We are?
Tails:*off-screen* Guys, it's happening!
*We all turned around & saw Tails running towards us*
Knuckles: What's happening?
*He told us that the Master Emerald was glowing brightly. We all went up to Angel Island. When we got there, a very familiar person came out of the Master Emerald's light*
Ayla, Sonic, Shadow, & Knuckles: Hey, that's Chris!
Chris: It worked . . . I - I did it! I actually did it! Sonic! Ayla!
*He tried to run towards us, but tripped. I looked closer at him & saw he was wearing clothes that were way to big on him (a white lab coat over a cream long sleeve turtleneck, blue jeans & brown shoes). He looked at himself & gasped in shock*
