"Sonic?" Tails was surprised.

"Charmy… didn't I say to work in the mine field? Find that emerald that Knuckles buried!" Sonic ordered.

Suddenly, as if on cue, Shadow jumped onto Sonic's back.

"Follow me!" he said.

Charmy flew after him. Tails and Cream followed too.

Later…

They entered Shadow's house. It wasn't as big as his mansion.

"Umm… Shadow…"

"Yeah, I know… you guys are from another dimension and you need to get home…"

"H-h-how?"

Shadow pointed to a huge screen. It had a message from another place.

"Shadow, Miles here… if you find a smaller version of me and my girlfriend, contact me… help them out… they're lost…" it read.

"GIRLFRIEND? He never said that!" Tails yelled.

He looked at Cream. Cream looked away and turned pink.

"I know where your dimension is... but Sonic's taken over the whole Station Square… and Mystic Ruins… he even has Eggman working for him… we need to repair your dimension jumping machine… and only you know how… we need to look for these items…" Shadow sighed.

"Wait… where am I in this dimension?" Tails asked.

Shadow looked at him. He then pointed to a tombstone outside the window. Tails's mouth was wide open.

"I'm dead?"

"Huh? No! Look next to it!" Shadow said.

Tails looked next to it to find himself in a straitjacket. He was inside a huge box.

"That box is… your 'home'… and you have a straitjacket on because… you thought you were the only sane person left…" Shadow explained.

"Let's go find those items to fix my machine!"

"One thing… Sonic controls the city… he can have us killed." Shadow said.

Sorry, gomen nasai! That's it for now…
