"Where are those dumbots!?"
Dr. Robotnik paced impatiently about his lab. "I sent those idiots out two hours ago!"
He was about to rant some more when he heard the doorbell.
"That had better be them!" He trudged over to the door.
"Hello, sir!" said a badly desquised Tails, "I'm from the Acme Vacuum Service! Do you need a . . ."
"NO!" Dr. Robotnik slammed the door. Not even a second after he did, however, he felt a tap on his shoulder. After he turned around, he jumped when he saw Tails there.
"C'mon, sir, everyone needs a vacuum!"
Robotnik picked up Tails and opened the door. "Come back when you're selling something useful!" He tossed Tails and slammed the door. He turned around to find a badly-desquised Shadow right there.
"We also sell weapons, sir!"
Robotnik was about to yell again when he heard what Shadow said. "Really?"
"Yes sir! We sell Laser Cannons, Gatling guns, light sabers, and Grenade launchers at the amazingly low price of 1,000,000 mobiums!"
"That's too expensive!" He picked up Shadow, tossed him outside, and slammed the door.
"The price is always right, sir!" Tails said from behind Robotnik, "That's why we've lowered the prices on these magnificant products to one mobium a piece!"
"That's much cheaper! How do I order them?"
"Order? We have them in the back of our truck!"
Robotnik followed Tails to the truck. Tails stood back as Robotnik opened the doors.
"HAKI-SAKI!" SATAM-Sonic leaped out of the truck ninja-style. Punching and kicking sounds could be heard as SATAM-Sonic tied him up. Sonic jumped down "Easy as grabbin' a chili-dog!"
It took the strength of Sonic, Shadow, and Tails to haul Robotnik into the truck.
"Yo Robuttnik! Skip the twinkies, will ya?"
Tails slammed the doors and locked them.
After going inside the lab, Shadow checked Robotnik's files on the computer. He opened the search window and typed "Dimensional Transporters." There, he found plans for one.
"Hey guys! We have good news and bad news."
"The good news?" Tails asked.
"I found the plans we were looking for!"
"I didn't know Robotnik was that smart!" Tails said.
"What's the bad news?" SATAM-Sonic asked.
"We have to put the thing together ourselves."
"That's way uncool," SATAM-Sonic complained.
"Don't worry, I can put it together myself; I'm a technical genious!" Shadow replied, "It shouldn't take that long, especially with this computer Sonic had with him."
Shadow spent the next three hours building this thing. Sonic fell asleep, and Tails glanced over his shoulder.
"Are you done yet?" Sonic asked after he woke up.
"No."
"Oh, okay." Sonic waited five minutes, then said, "Are you done yet?"
"No."
"Oh, okay; are you done yet?"
"No."
"Are you done yet?"
"No."
"Are you done yet?"
"No."
"Are you done yet?"
"No." Shadow was starting to lose patience.
"Are you done yet?"
"NO."
"Are you done yet?"
Shadow quietly stood up, activated his flame bracelet, and bashed Sonic across the head. Sonic immediately burst into flame and started dashing across the room wildly.
"That should keep him busy for a while." Shadow calmly sat down and finished the transporter.
"Hey, Tails. While I finish this, why don't you go contact one of Sonic's friends."
Sonic, after putting out the flames and getting off the charred fur, dashed over. "If anyone's talkin' to my friends, it's gonna be me!"
Sonic picked up Nicole. "Yo, Nicole, there anyplace I can contact Sal?"
"Connecting . . ."
After a moment, Nicole read out the coordinates where he could connect.
"All these places are in Robotown!"
Sonic checked all the computers, and immediately stopped flipping when he saw Sally on the other end.

"Yo, lady, where are we?"
Sally glared at SU-Sonic. "We are in Robotropolis."
"Robotropolis? The place looks different."
"Different? Whadya mean, Sonic?" Tails asked.
"Well, in the Robotropolis I remember, there were still regular people livin' here."
Sally sighed and walked over to the computer. "This computer controls the Roboticizer. If I can shut it down, we can get everybody out." She searched for Nicole, but it didn't take long for her to realize that Nicole wasn't there.
"Sonic?"
"Yeah?"
"Where's Nicole?"
"Who?"
"My computer!"
"How should I know?"
"We have to go back and find her!" Sally was about to leave when the computer screen clicked on by itself.
Sally and the others were shocked to see Sonic looking back at her on the screen.
"Sal?"
"That me?" SU-Sonic.
Sally looked at the screen, then SU-Sonic, then back at the screen again. "If you're right there, then who's he?"
"Sal, this is gonna sound mondo strange, but you gotta listen to me. You remember when we were in Robotown, and I was waitin' for you and Bunnie to come?"
"Yeah, go on," Sally said, quite interested.
"Well, I tried to use the Sonic spin on the ol' door, and-"
" . . . disappeared!" Tails finished.
Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, and SU-Sonic all looked at Tails. "So you were telling the truth!" Sally said.
Tails glared at her. "I don't play about things like that!"
"Well, anyway, I ended up in this strange world. What actually happened is that I slipped into another dimension, and Tails and Shadow are tryin' to help me get back."
"Tails?" Everyone asked in confusion.
SATAM Sonic pointed Nicole's screen at Tails. Both Tails from both dimensions looked. "Is that me?" they both asked at the same time.
********************************************************************************************************
AOSTH-Tails looked and saw another Sonic. He was about to tell the others when he noticed the pendant on his neck.
"Hey, Sonic. When did you get that pendant?" He asked him.
SU-Sonic looked at it and replied, "I've always had this!"
Tails looked at Shadow. "That's not our Sonic, Shadow!"
Shadow immediately stopped working, grabbed Nicole and looked at him. After a moment he said, "That's not him."
********************************************************************************************************
AOSTH-Shadow glanced at SU-Sonic. "I know you're not from that dimension. How'd you get there, anyway?"
"Let's see . . . I, like That Sonic, was also in Robotown. Me and my sis and bro were tryin' to bust into one of Robuttnik's factories. I tried to use the Sonic spin, andbefore I hit the door, I blacked out. I woke up in some forest."
Sally looked at him. "So you really are royalty!"
SU-Sonic looked at her. "Yup. I'm the Crown Prince of Mobius!"
Sally smirked. "And I'm the Crown Princess of Mobius."
They both shook hands.
"Princess. Can you do something for me?"
"Yes?"
"Can you build a dimensional transporter and try to contact your Sonic?"
"I would, but I can't find Nicole."
SATAM-Sonic pushed Shadow out of the way. "We're usin' Nicole to speak to you guys!"
"What!? How am I supposed to build this thing without Nicole!?"
Rotor tapped Sally on the shoulder. "Sally, I actually started building one before, and it was almost finished. All I need now is an antennae."
"Great job, Rotor!"
SU-Sonic looked at her. "Don't we got prisoners to save?"
"You're right! I almost forgot!" She looked at Shadow. "I'm sorry, but we have to save our friends."
"I understand." Shadow agreed before ending the transmission.
Sally looked firmly at everyone. "We have a village to save, so we had better hurry."
