"I'm giving you one last chance to answer our questions peacefully?!" the trio had been following Lecko all day and trying to get him to tell them something. The sun was now setting and Endigo was getting pissed off. "That's it."
The bluish fox picked up his speed and tackled the leader. Knuckles caught the chipmunk, who they had found was named Tempa. As Lecko rose to his feet, he spoke, "I guess this is a good place to make camp."
"That's enough, lizard boy. Give us the answers to our questions, or I won't play the good cop much longer." Endigo had wrapped his hand around the warrior's neck.
"Fine, but wait until the child is asleep." the fox released Lecko and sat down.
Later that night, after Tempa was in bed, the four sat around the campfire and decided that they could each ask a question in a certain order. Endigo first, Knuckles second, and Shadow last.
"Okay, first off, what species are you anyway?"
"I'm a cross between a lizard and a gecko. That's why they named me Lecko."
"Alright." Knuckles said, shocked by how lame some people could be. "For my question, what's the date is it?"
"October 19, 2156." This was unnerving to the heroes, since that was the date it had been when the Chaos Controls had collided.
"My turn." Shadow took a moment before continuing. "You must know all about the history of this place. When did your first ruler come into power?"
"Five years ago. A guy named Dr. Eggman took over with the power of the Master Emerald. Nobody was there to resist him, so it was easy for him."
"But that makes no sense. Sonic, Tails, and I were there to take him out. What happened?"
"Earlier, you told me that you used the Chaos Emeralds to fuse CC and RCC. It could be that you were transported through the 5th dimension, parallel. That means that you have shifted to a universe where there was a major change that was a fork in the road of sorts. Your 'verse went one way, ours the other. It seems that in your dimension, you three are good guys. Here, your evil Generals of the Altera army. Now I have a question for you three. Any idea when that turning point was?"
The thought came to Endigo immediately." It was one year ago, in the depths of my mind. It happened when Dr. Gerald Robotnik tried to use RCC to alter his past. He was going to make it that all of the Earth's heroes would be his evil minions. Am I right in guessing that that man is your current leader?"
Lecko nodded. Shadow then spoke. "So I'm guessing you're a member of a resistance group."
"Yes, we are know to all of the slaves and the Altera government as Grand Design. At this point, there are only about 700 members total."
"Why don't we make that 695?" they turned to see Espio stepping out of the shadows, followed by a group of ninja chameleons. "Ninja Master Espio, at your service."
