I awoke to the sound of people arguing. I opened my eyes looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Suddenly the events from before drifted back into my head and I looked down at myself. The red fur was still there.

"So, it wasn't a dream..." I said to myself as I got out of the bed. I picked up my spear off the ground and slid it into its holder. I walked out of the room and stopped when I was at the doorway to the kitchen. Sonic and Tails were arguing... over me!

"But Sonic, he seems like a nice guy and all, and I feel like I can trust him."

"No way keed. We can't have him go on the mission with us. One, we have no reason not to believe that he is working for Eggman, and two, he might only get in the way. If you like him so much you shouldn't want him in this type of danger anyway!" Sonic yelled.

"Ahem," I said, announcing my presence. They looked towards me and then they both looked a little embarrassed.

"How long have you been there?" Sonic asked.

"Not too long, but long enough to get the gist of everything," I said as I sat down at the table. I decided to throw Sonic a mind puzzle. "If you don't trust me now, what can I do to earn your trust?"

Sonic didn't know what to say to this. He bit his lip and looked around the room, as if the answer to my question was right in front of his face. Finally he sighed.

"Fine, you can come with. But I still don't trust you completely just yet. You can earn my trust by how well you do," he said. I nodded. It sounded fair enough.

"So, what's the mission? I didn't hear any details," I stated. Tails took out a map of Eggman's base and we looked at it.

"We have noticed that Eggman has been keeping most of his robots close to his base today. Usually that means that he is up to something, and we have to go check it out," Tails said.

I nodded and gestured for him to continue.

"Well, here is the plan. Sonic will go in through the entrance and distract Eggman while I hit the power generator. As soon as the power is out, most of the robots in the base should deactivate and we get the heck out of there!"

"Wait, where do I come in?" I asked.

"Look around the base and see if you can find anything out of the ordinary. Weapons, equipment, plans, whatever, just take it and get out of there when the power goes," Sonic said.

"All right," I said as I rubbed my hands together in excitement. I was going on a raid with Sonic and Tails!

"Is something wrong?" Tails asked as he looked at me, interrupting my train of thought.

"Wha...? Oh, no, it's nothing," I told him.

"Let's move!" Sonic said as he ran out the door. Tails and I quickly followed him.

Sonic took off and was already a speck in the distance. Tails had gone airborne and was already flying away.

I started to run and was about to shout to Tails to wait up when I was surprised to see that I could run fast, too! Not insanely fast, like Sonic, but I was catching up to Tails, who was now only a couple of feet ahead of me.

I shot forward with an extra burst of speed and flew fast him.

"Let's race!" I shouted over my shoulder. His tails started moving faster and soon he was directly above me.

Wind flew past my face as I continued to run. I didn't feel at all tired. It was great being here! I zoomed past trees, shrubs, and other greenery as we finished the race.

"Man, you're pretty fast!" Tails said as he landed.

"Yeah, but I still didn't beat you," I replied.

"But you kept up the whole way! Not too many people can do that, you know!"

We were standing in front of Eggman's base. Sonic had just zoomed inside, so we were hurrying down the hill after him.

"Well, be careful," I said to Tails.

"You too!" he said as he sped ahead.

I entered the base and saw Tails take a left down a side corridor. Broken robot parts lined the center, so I guessed that Sonic went that way. I took the path on the right.

After walking a little ways I was confronted by a robot. At first I was startled as it fired a laser at me, but I managed to dodge it and I took out my spear. I twirled it with my fingers for a second before thrusting forward. As soon as the tip of the spear struck the robot, the robot shattered into a thousand pieces. I looked at my spear with renewed awe.

"...Radical," I said as I put it away and crept down the corridor again.

After awhile I found a strange table near the right hand wall. I got closer to see... A sword on it!?

I ran over to it and looked. Swords weren't things normally used by Eggman, so why was it here?

"Do you mind getting me out of here?" A voice said from behind me. I jumped and turned around, startled to see a white nine-tailed fox locked up in a cell.

"Man, don't scare me like that! I thought you were another robot!" I said as I walked over to the cage.

"...Wuss," I heard him mutter.

"I can leave you in there!" I warned.

"OK, OK! I'm sorry!" he said. I smiled.

I looked at the lock to see it was an old-fashioned padlock. I tried to force it open with my spear, but it just wasn't the right fit. I suddenly got an idea and was about to take the sword off the table when I noticed a notebook right next to it. I picked it up along with the sword. The sword's blade began to spark as I picked it up.

"Cool!" I said as I slashed forward at the lock with it. The lock split in two and the door opened, letting its prisoner free.

I tossed him his weapon and he caught it in the air.

"So, how'd you get here?" I asked him.

"Well, um, this is going to sound really stupid, but I..." Suddenly the lights went off and we were in total darkness.

"Ah, crud! That guy sure works fast! Follow me!" I said as I grabbed his hand and ran off in the direction of the exit.

"OW!" I yelled as I held my head in pain. I had run into a wall.

"Smooth move," I heard my companion say.

"Ah, shut up," I said as I continued down the corridor.

We reached the exit a short while later, and we were on our way back to Sonic's house I finally got some answers out of him.

"So, your name is Lynx, eh?" I asked. "My name is Klim, and I came into this world the same way you did, only in a better spot."

"You mean that you got sucked into your computer, too? Then, I might know you! Who the heck are you!?" he asked.

"Well, if you must know, I go by the name of XPERT," I replied.

"XPERT!" he cried. "You're the one that got me into this mess!"

"Wait a minute... Are you Miles Tails Prower?!" I asked.

"YES!" he cried.

"Then I guess I really did send that email," I said with a chuckle.

"It's not funny!" he yelled. "What if we can never go back?!"

I didn't know what to say to this. I, in a way, wasn't planning on going back. But now that there is somebody else that got dragged into here because of me...

"Hey, is that what I think it is?" Lynx asked as he pointed ahead at Sonic's house.

"Yep," I said. "Home of the Blue Blur himself."

It suddenly looked like he was in a lot better mood. "Then, Tails is there, too?"

"Yeah..."

He flew off ahead of me. I guess he had to see it with his own eyes.

I watched as he practically ripped the door off its hinges in his haste to get inside.

I laughed and walked in behind him. I found him staring with his jaw dropped at Tails. Tails was looking really nervous and finally noticed me.

"Klim? Who is this?"

Lynx seemed to regain his composure and he introduced himself. "My name is Lynx. I was held prisoner in Eggman's base until Klim here helped me out." I nodded in agreement.

"He came from the same place as me," I added. "We need to find out how we can stop this, before more people get sucked in."

"Nothing like has ever happened before," Tails said as he scratched his head. "I have no way of knowing how to stop others from entering...OR how to get you back."

"Maybe this will help," I said as I held out Eggman's notebook. Tails snatched it and started reading through parts of it.

"Fascinating! This has all kinds of information on energy!" Tails exclaimed. "Chaos Emeralds, lightning, this notebook has everything!"

I tapped my foot impatiently as he continued to read. If more people could get sucked in, then I would be partly responsible for what happens to them. And almost anything can happen here...

"Aha! I've found it!" Tails said as he jumped up. "If a large enough amount of energy is concentrated into one area, a portal could open up and drag people to other worlds! Hey, wait a minute... OH NO!" he shouted.

"What is it?" I asked Tails.

"Eggman is after the Chaos Emeralds as well! He is going to use them to transport himself to your world!"

"WHAT!?" Lynx shouted as he grabbed the notebook and began reading aloud.

"Since I, Eggman, cannot seem to thwart the efforts of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends, I will be taking my plans elsewhere to a place without them to get in my way! The best way seems to be through the usage of the Chaos Emeralds, so I will order my robots to go and retrieve them and bring them to me. Thankfully I already have the gray one, so now I only have six more to collect."

"This is bad news!" I shouted. "Eggman's robots could be on the way back to him already with the emeralds!"

"I doubt it," Tails said. "There are many obstacles and guardians protecting the emeralds. And you know how weak his robots are." I nodded.

"Hey, look, he even provided a map with all the emeralds' locations!" Lynx said as he turned the page. I laughed.

"Well, it looks like that Egghead did it again. He gave us a way to escape, AND a map!" Tails started to laugh.

"We should leave as soon as possible, just to be sure we get to the emeralds first," Lynx said as he took the map out of the notebook, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

"Right," I said.

"But, Sonic isn't done resting yet!" Tails said as he hopped up. Man, Sonic must have taken quite a beating if he was resting.

"That's all right, Tails," I said. "You look after Sonic. Lynx and I will worry about the emeralds."

"But..." he complained.

"Tell you what, as soon as Sonic is rested up, try and get the gray Chaos Emerald from Eggman. Lynx and I will go get the others."

"Are you sure?" Tails said.

"Of course he's sure," Lynx spoke up. "Besides, we DO need someone to get that gray emerald for us. And we know it won't be easy, since you guys have already busted in there recently. He'll probably tighten security around his base. Perfect for you and Sonic, right?"

Tails nodded. "But be careful, all right?" he asked.

"No prob," I said as I walked out the door. "See you around!"

"Bye, Tails!" Lynx said as he waved.

"Catch you guys later!" Tails said.

And so Lynx and I set off, already on the beginning of our long adventure...
