Antoine and Bunnie were visiting Rotor and Nicole. They had already made the decision to also use the machine Rotor like his other friends and had come to see the first test. Mecha Jacques and Mecha Belle were with them.

Rotor had brought to test the machine a little plant that was in his laboratory. Nicole was putting the data to put to work the machine. Once everything was ready the machine was put into operation. Upon completion of the process the machine is opened revealing a small sapling which had just germinated.

"Thanks to the Chaos Emerald which Knuckles lent us this worked" Rotor said happily as he pulled the sapling of the machine.

"Then we can use and we" asked Antoine.

"Not yet. Still you need to do some tests to confirm its optimum performance. When you are ready we will call".

Mecha Jacques and Mecha Belle as they heard the conversation, came up with a plan to spoil this invention but still not do, and they should not give themselves away, or else the plan would not work their masters. To wait outside at night to carry it out, when everyone was asleep.

After Antoine and Bunnie go away with androids, Rotor and Nicole were alone.

The lynx could see something in the eyes of the walrus that when the family was D'Coolette had a look that reflected some sadness.

"Is something wrong Rotor".

"Nothing. I'm fine Nicole".

"Are you sure? Lately I've noticed that expression of sadness in you every time our friends are. What happens?".

"I do not want to talk about that".

"What do you mean? Is it so bad so?".

"For me it is".

"Tell me".

"Okay, but after this does not want us to talk about this and do as this conversation never happened, okay?".

"Agree".

"The reason why I'm sad it's because I'm in love with a person".

"That's marvelous. You deserve to be with someone who really loves you as much as you to it. But what's wrong with that?".

"I'm just in love with who is not like me and is something that is never going to be able to happen. Even with the situation where I am I think our friends got lucky with this. Sonic first had to Sally and now Amy. Tails he had first to Mina and now has to Cosmo. Antoine and Bunnie have been at each other for several years. and when I think about it I get sad because I'll never be with that person in such manner and form a family with her".

"That is not like you, does not mean they can not be together and have a family".

"If you say the same, since that person is not organic".

Hearing what he said Rotor, Nicole caught instantly of whom he spoke. And he understands why he did not want to talk about it with her and asked her after that conversation not to return to talk about it. I still wanted to ask.

"Rotor, please tell me who is she?".

The walrus approached the lynx and looked directly into the eyes "Are you Nicole, you're the person I love. I've been in love with you since before projected it the appearance of Lynx the first time, specifically shortly after got here to our time. at first I did not say anything because I did not know if you could understand the feelings related to love. But after realizing that you understood, why you did not say anything is because I knew that if you confess I feel for you, we would never have been able to form a family that's why I never said anything and I have kept this secret for 32 years, suffering in silence, keeping my pain deep in my soul not to say anything to anyone."

"Rotor, I...".

"Do not say anything. Because if you do not feel the same for me, then I do not know. I'd rather live in ignorance, knowing that suffering".

Before Nicole could say anything else, Rotor withdrew from there leaving her alone. The Lynx could see a tear streaming down his cheek walrus.

...

Scourge was in Moebius, where he had met with the Destructix and was placing them aware of their plans.

"Are you sure that your plan will work?" Lightning Lynx asked.

"If we have not managed to conquer the Mobius Prime to date, are you completely sure it will be easier with this other reality?" Predator Hawk asked.

"So far everything is going well. Fiona and Snively of that reality are working together on the Space Colony Ark putting the finishing touch of our plan while guarding our prisoners. On the other Nack and Dr. Finitevus of that reality are looking for reinforcements in the Mobius Prime and other alternative areas. Apart from our prisoners nobody else knows about our presence" Scourge said.

"I say we try, all we lose nothing" said Flying Frog.

"I agree. We should go" said Sergeant Simian.

Seeing as the ape and the frog agreed with the hedgehog, the falcon and lynx left with no other to accept.

Scourge smiled, took one of her rings and opened it. After that the five it crossed and disappeared without realizing that a group of five people had seen them.

"What is he planning?" said one of the voices.

...
Meanwhile back in Mobius everything was quiet at the moment.

Vector, Vanilla, Espio, Charmy Sonia, Cream and Cheese were together in an open field at the time, which was a little out of the city. All had gone there, as all three Chaotix going to practice some of their combat techniques and wanted to show them to their partners.

Before starting the chameleon off his brown jacket he was wearing and gave the bristles to hold her for a while. So did the gator off his headset and his gold necklace and gave it to the largest rabbit. And the bee took off his helmet and gave it to the younger rabbit.

It was a defense training in which two attacked one who defended their skills. It was quite a long and exhausted for the training crocodile, chameleon and the bee.

When they finished training the three were lying on the ground, very tired and breathing hard.

Seeing them there Vanilla, Sonia, Cream Cheese and approached them to confirm whether they were good. Seeing that he needed rest, each sat on the floor and put the heads of their partners on their legs.

After a while Espio and Charmy felt better and got his jacket and helmet respectively. It was time to leave, but noted that Vector had fallen asleep.

"Should we wake him up?" Cream with Cheese asked beside him.

"I do not think so. We should let him rest. Anyway lately I've noticed that in practice it is the most tired of the three" Espio said.

"I'll stay here with him. You go on ahead. When you wake up then we will not go together" Vanilla said.

"It's safe. Espio and I could stay with him. Overall, this situation is not new for us" Charmy said.

"No, it does not bother me. You can go".

Although doubtful by her decision, Espio, Sonia, Charmy, Cream and Cheese decided to go there.

Step one hour until finally woke up slowly Vector. First she opened one eye and saw that the others had gone. At that moment he realized that he was lying in the lap of Vanilla and this was stroking his head. He closed his eye while several thoughts ran through his head. He began to think that he was very lucky to have met Vanilla. When his first wife left him he promised to never fall in love again. The only reason for its existence thanks to his son had Argyle and his friends who always supported him throughout. But although he had broken that promise not turn to love, she did not regret having done so. Vanilla was a beautiful and wonderful woman. He wondered how his life would have been if they had known of youth. If he had been the biological father of Cream and Vanilla would have been if the biological mother of Argyle, 5 (including Cheese) would have been a happy family. An idea flashed through his mind at the thought, but realized that it was still too early for that, so he decided to ignore it. He knew that if he hurried with that could scare her and ruin everything step as Argyle warned in his dreams.

After a while of thinking about it finally decided to get up, pretending he had just woken up.

"I see you took your rest enough. The others were an hour ago. But I wanted to stay with you until you wake up" Vanilla said.

"Thank you for staying with me to wait for me to wake up" said Vector.

Vanilla smiled at Vector and handed Vector necklace and headphones him. This took her things and put them on.

"It's time to go. I'll walk you home. Surely Sonia, Cream and Cheese should be worried" said the crocodile.

"Thank you. I really like your gallantry. That's one of the reasons why I love you" said the rabbit.

After that they rose from the floor and were walking back to the city. As they walked Vector step one of his arms around Vanilla approached him and letting him know that he would always be safe beside him.

...

In the cells of Space Colony Ark, Silver and others still trapped. No they had an idea of how to escape. And as expected Silver remained concerned by Shadow and Rouge. He was on the verge of collapse when suddenly they all heard a noise at the door and it opened.

They all went into attack position, and they did not know who was going to appear. But let down their guard to see that they were Shadow and Rouge.

Silver was so happy to see her safe and sound parents who approached them to ask as they had found them, but when you get to them was received by a blow that sent him flying against the wall and fell to the floor he was knocked unconscious.

The others were surprised to see that. They could not believe that the black and white hedgehog murciƩlaga have attacked his future son and everyone could see a face of satisfaction on the faces of both having done.

Others did not know whether to attack or ask for an explanation. But when they saw the black hedgehog as he approached the silver hedgehog decided to take action and prevent him more harm. But this use his powers of Chaos to leave them all out of action.

Rutan was the last to be aware, could see Shadow up to Silver in his arms, then went back to the door where Rouge was waiting there and then leaving them locked out of others. After seeing that Rutan also fainted.

...

In the main room Scourge and Fiona who were waiting for their new allies, who went looking for one of his prisoners were. When these two came and brought what they ordered them to seek decided to carry out the next part of the plan.
