Chaos Control: Nightmare Chronicles

Chapter 3: Back Home

'Hurry you guys!' Shouted Sonic as he sped down the plains of Mystic Ruin's to where he thought Tails' ruined workshop was. 'What the…?' The wreckage was gone.

'What is it Sonic?' Asked Knuckles as he landed on his right. 'What happened to Tails' workshop?'

'Where the hell did it go? It was just here 5 minutes ago!'

'Are you sure you're not hallucinating Sonic?' Asked Rouge, she had landed just next to Knuckles. In a few seconds, Amy, Cream, and Shadow came running. All of them, except Shadow and Amy, were looking confused at what they were supposed to be looking for. Apparently, none of them knew where they were standing; they just thought it was another stretch of Mystic Ruin.

'DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DAMN HALLUCINATING?'

'What is it Sonic?' Asked Cream.

'Tails' workshop is gone.'

'What? Are you sure it wasn't somewhere else.'

'OF COURSE IT WAS HERE DAMNIT!'

'Hey look.' Said Shadow as he moved forwards. He pointed to a small object on the ground. 'It's Tails' laptop.'

As soon as Shadow opened the laptop, it began to emit wild beeping. Sonic was running around with his hands out in front of him, as though he thought that Tails' workshop was now invisible.

'What does it say Shadow?' Asked Amy as she came to see.

'I'm the ultimate lifeform.' Said Shadow in exasperation. 'Do you think I can read geek talk?'

'Let me see it.'

Amy studied the garble of letters and numbers.

'Holly shit.'

'What?'

'The computer is going wild because it detects a major rift in this area.'

'What kind of rift?'

'Chaos Control.'

'You mean that Tails' workshop is in another dimension?'

'And so is Tails.'

'TAILS!' Sonic shouted into the distance. 'WHERE ARE YOU?'

'Amy was about to close the laptop, when a new message popped up.'

After a few minutes of reading it, the color drained from Amy's face.

'S… Sonic.' Stammered Amy. 'You better see this.'

Sonic rushed over to her and began to read the message over her shoulder.

'Oh Tails. If this is right, he better get out of there, and damn fast.'
