Gates three and four open
Travis Jason Ellar, Trav to his friends, was walking down the street as he left the hospital. He was troubled, something was bothering him and he couldn't place a finger on it. He thought about the recent events, trying to figure out what happened to cause the current situation to come about. He walked over to where the new gate was and sat on the fountain Kira had damaged when she flew threw it. He then closed his eyes and started going over the previous day's events.
*****Yesterday*****
He got up early and went to the edge of Knothole where he met Sonic, Tails, and Kira. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Why do we have to be up now? What is it about this mission requires us to get up before the roosters?" Kira looked at him rolling her eyes, one of them belonging to the female he once loved. "Strange." He thought. "When she was Susan I loved her madly. Now she's just another teammate. What does that say about me?" Sonic turned towards him and said, "Uncle Chuck had uncovered a plan of Specter's to link Mobius to your Earth. It involves using the wreck of the vehicle you came in." Both Trav and Kira reacted in shock, while Tails asked, "how can a wreck help the demented robot link to realities?" Kira responded faster than Trav by saying, "The realm runner had equipment that could breach the barriers between realities. Specter knows how to maintain that equipment as well as how to salvage it." Trav nodded and said, "Then this is a search and destroy mission." Sonic nodded and looked to his left. Sally walked up holding a large golden ring and a glowing crystal disk no bigger than a quarter. She held them out and Trav took the power disk while Sonic took the power ring. After he had stored the disk where he could get at it quickly and said, "Let do it to it." The four of them left on the mission that would change their world.
*****Today*****
Trav got up from the fountain and looked at the other portal not to far from the one he came through. "I can't help but wonder if this was the start of something sinister." He mused as he walked towards the palace.
The Arcadian Sally was just walking out when he arrived there. "Hello Travis." She said, "I hope you're feeling well." Trav nodded and checked her out at the same time. He noted that this Sally had a smaller chest compared to the Sally from the world he came from. "I'm fine though a little ticked that that vixen used hypnosis to keep me there." Sally hid her mouth as she picked up on how he seemed to be a little distracted by her. Trav then shrugged as he continued, "By the way what happened while I was out?" Sally took a deep breath and told him about Kira talking about their world and how Kira left to open the other gates. He nodded and said, "We can't let Lardo get control of them. If he opens them he might open cross into other worlds. I wouldn't be able to look at myself if he takes over other worlds." He walked off leaving Sally wondering what made him say what he did.
On the other side of the portal, Kira, the Gamemaster, and Vegetta landed in Tokyo, which was in ruins. Anthony looked around and said, "Looks like Godzilla took a stroll here." Kira nodded and said, "I'll have to check the kiaju report but I doubt it." This caused Anth to look at her in surprise but Vegetta snorted and said, "What is so dangerous about an overgrown lizard?" Before either of them could reply, the sound of a firefight broke the silence. People began to run past them. The trio looked in the direction and saw several SWAT bots backing away from something. Blasts that froze and shattered one cause Kira to pause. "Well, well it seems that the SAT butts have just lured a white mandar away from that gate. Vegetta, why don't you show them how a REAL warrior fights?" She said. Vegetta smiled and flew towards the fry. Anth and her started running along the street the robocombat was moving down in the opposite direction the combatants we're going and found a shimmering outline near a ruined hotel. "Kira smiled and said, "Open sesame." Anth looked at her and said, "Cute." He then sent a psiblast into it and as it hit the center of the outline and seemed to fill it with a swirling rainbow. Before Anth could stop her, Kira poked her head into the portal. He heard his Mother scream in surprise and the sound of a pot hitting the ground. Kira pulled her head out as Vegetta rejoined them with a satisfied smirk on his face. Anthony covered his eyes and turned around to hide his face as he fought to stop laughing as Kira's head was covered with spaghetti. She pulled one noodle off and popped it into her mouth before saying, "Well, I think we'll be joining your mother for dinner." Mrs. Bault's head popped threw the portal and she looked threw and at her son and said, "You got some explaining young man."
Back on Arcadia Mobius, Tails was walking down the street with his parents and little brother when they ran into Trav walking down the street. Tail's waved to him and Trav walked up to them. "Hello. You must be the local version of Tails." He said. "That's right." Tails replied. "These are my parents and little brother Anthony." Trav kneed and said, "Cute kid." He looked up at Tails Parents. Mrs. Prower nodded in response to his unasked question, He reached down and picked the fox cub up and cradled him. "Poor kid. You're going to grow up in the shadow of a famous brother. May you never become bitter about his fame." Little Anthony cooed and snuggled closer to him. He looked up at the parents getting ready to return him to them and saw the shocked look on their faces. "What???" He asked with a confused look on his face.
Back on the merged worlds, Kira and her companions had just stepped back out of the portal. Kira looked at her devastated world and sighed, "The thing I found interesting about the Mobius that merged with my Earth was that it used to be a version of Earth." Anth nodded and replied with a sigh of his own, "I guess Mobius-Earth has some secrets that are waiting to be uncovered." Kira looked up with a look of surprise then chuckled. "Good a name as any for this beleaguered world." Vegetta growled in annoyance and gripped, "Who cares what this world's called let's find the fourth portal and beat any who guard it." That caused Kira to pause to think. "You know Vegetta," She mused. "You might have something there. I just thought they had stopped to engage their terror protocols. But now that you mention it, all three mandars had been acting like they were guarding them. That would mean that they had been ordered to do that job. But that's im." She slapped her forehead and said, "No it's not. Spectre was one of Cybrax' field commanders. She could've commanded them to search and guard the portals. But does that mean the local Lardo know of them or that Spectre's acting on her own?" Meanwhile on Arcadia Mobius, Trav was talking about what had happened during his encounter with young Anthony Prower. "It was bizarre." He was saying. "It was like I was holding my kid sister Trixy just after she was born. How can that be?" Tails rubbed his head as he replied, "It must be the Companion Bond. It's the only explaination. But how can you be a companion? There's no mention of a sixth companion." He then rubbed his head and said, "Excuse me but I have to go." Trav watched the young fox and frowned.
Trav was wondering about where he was going to stay then took a breath and decided to go to Knothole, figuring that he could stay at one of the huts until they decided to either allow him to go back through or give him a permanent residence here. He then turned and walked towards where knothole was. As he trudged towards the hidden village, His mind once again drifted back to the day this all started for him.
*****Yesterday*****
Trav, Kira, Sonic and Tails had reached Robotropolis in record time and were moving towards the Robotnik's Fortress and did their best to avoid the spy eyes. They spotted a group of SWATs that looked odd. "Kira," Trav said urgently, "Those SWATs don't look right what does you roboeye tell you about them." Kira stared for a moment before gasping. "Trav! Those SWATbots were built on the female form." She told them. "Say WHAT?!" Sonic cried out. Trav nodded and said, "That means they answer to Spectre. It's one of her mind games. She is expecting use to be shocked and hesitate." Kira nodded and added "That made her planned victims easy targets. BUT now we can follow them and find out if they located the Racer." Tails and Sonic nodded, glad these two not only were on their side but knew Spectre. The quartet followed and snuck aboard a transport. It would be four hours of waiting before the events that had been set into motion would turn out.
*****Today*****
He reached Knothole and saw the memorial. "Sad." He said. "But without the shame that was attached to another, similar memorial on most Earth's." He then walked into Knothole Village. Meanwhile, on Mobius-Earth, Kira, The Gamemaster, and Vegetta watched the sunset as they landed and began to set up camp. "Those mandars of yours mouse make perfect training partners Howmant are left on this world?" The saiyin prince asked. "Six." The cybermouse responded. "Prometheans totals and utterly destroyed all the factories on the Earth half and the Mobius half never had them." Vegetta grumbled and layer down. Kira set the security system of the hoverbike then pulled a sleeping bag out of the storage compartment. Anthony removed his armored vest and bedded down and layer down himself. As they tried to go to sleep Anth asked, "What will we face at the fourth gate?" Kira sighed and replied, "Hopefully that one will be the unguarded one." A few minutes later all three of them were asleep. Later on Arcadia Mobius, Tails was walking to the communication center. As he got closer is face slowly became more and more blank until you could've sworn you were looking at a fur covered robot as he set the transceiver to the frequency he had been told by Spectre. "Unit one reporting." He said without emotion.
"Report." Spectre's voice came out.
"The hybrid has suffred the Mobius Effect and has changed into a fox.
"That's interesting. What about the cybermouser?"
"She had left to find and open the rest of the Arcadian Portals."
"Hmm. That may or may not be good. What about the location of Packbell"
"No new information on that subject."
"Very well. Continue to follow your instructions and report to me tomorrow. Spectre out."
Tails deactivated and earased all records of his using the system and walked out. As he left the area he bumped into Amy who had been worrying about Anthony. She stammered an apology but he walked away as if he hadn't heard her. She frown but walked back to her mother.
Back on Mobius-earth, Kira and her team set off to find the fourth gate. After about two hours of searching they got a lock on their target and homed in on it. As they closed on it Kira chuckled. Vegetta looked at her with annoyance as he griped, "What's so funny mouse?" Kira looked back at him and replied, "We just got a break. The readings of the mandar that was guarding the portal just went dead. That can mean only one thing. The mandar has ceased to function. If it's still intact we can check it's computer to find out it's last orders and find out who issued them." A few minutes later they saw the mandar standing in a waterfall facing outwards. It was green in color with a few patched of rust on it. She sighed and shook her head in disappointment. "Well we know the how it shut down unfortunately we can't find out anything from it because of the water." "Pitty." Vegetta commented, "This one looks like it could've given Kakkarott a workout." Anthony nodded and walked towards the waterfall then fired a psiblast and the portal appeared half in the waterfall. Vegetta walked into it then walked back out. "It lads to Hylra but don't enter from the side I did." Anth looked at the saiyin prince and asked, "Why's that?"
"Because, unless you know how to fly, your in for a fall as it's opens into a tree house in a village filled with children."
"It must open to Kikori Village to the house of the Link who's represented the Ledgend of Zelda: The Orcana of Time."
Kira nodded then said, "That's all and good but what puzzles me is who has ordered the last mandars to guard the portals? Why wasn't the Mobius I was on and this Earth destroyed when they merged? And most importantly, was this simply an accident or is it the portent to something more sinester."
Indeed. What or who has ordered the last mandars to guard the portals and what is the real cause of the creation of Mobius-Earth? Why did little Anthony Prower treat Trav like he has treated the decendents of the Compainons? And what about Prometheus Island? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
In the next chapter, Sonic and Tails of Mobius-Earth locate Prometheus Island. After a small running battle they discover the fate of the personel. We learn more of the events that lead to the merger and creation of Mobius-Earth and we learn a surprising bit of information involving Trav and the Arcadian Sally Acorn.

"When she was Susan I loved her madly. Now she's just another teammate. What does that say about me?" Sonic turned towards him and said, "Uncle Chuck had uncovered a plan of Specter's to link Mobius to your Earth. It involves using the wreck of the vehicle you came in."
