Author's Note: Sorry it took so long but I did say it would take some time. I've been sick for a few days and I couldn't continue typing. I'm feeling a lot better than I have been last week.

Chapter Thirteen

A New Dimension

In a forest clearing there is a lush green meadow that is filled with beautiful wildflowers that are in bloom. The birds were chirping in the trees and various forest critters frolicked in the sun. A bright light was seen near the ground shaped like a portal that scared the wildlife away from the area. A figure dropped out of the gateway and fell to the ground with a light thud. The figure was a fox and as he rose off the ground; he surveyed the area that he had landed in.

"I know where I am. I'm in the Great Forest and in a meadow that I used to pick flowers from when I was a kit," the fox thought as he dusted himself off. "If I am correct; there is a city not far from here and I should go there first. However, I'm not sure where that bright light took me and I need to find out what has happened," he continued to think as he took off in the direction of the nearest city.

Elsewhere, there is a city not like any other city ever seen. This city is made of metal and full of factories for some sick minded person. The city was not like this before but as a city full of citizens that lived at peace since a war had ended five years prior. The city was named as Mobotropolis and was led by a monarch. A human, who was banished by his kind, named Julian Ivo Kintobor helped the monarch's army defeat Julian's kind in a war that will become to be known as the Great War. Five years after the Great War, Julian betrayed the reining monarch and banished him into the Void, a place where time itself is halted and crystallization would occur as anyone leaving the Void after a long stay there. Julian renamed himself Robotnik to suit his new persona and renamed the city as Robotropolis. Ten years later, he would meet a band of pests and one of them will become a tick thorn in his side.

A band of Freedom Fighters led by the banished monarch's daughter fought against the traitorous human in an effort to free their home and defeat this vile villain. An individual, who is self-appointed as co-leader, named Sonic Hedgehog, a speedy, cool, blue hedgehog, has become a thorn in the dictator's side since they had first met face-to-face in battle. Robotnik met his end when Sonic and the monarch's daughter, Princess Sally, used mystical stones known as the Deep Power Stones to destroy the dictator's Doomsday Project. Robotnik was never found in the wreckage of his Doomsday Project.

In the city where the royal palace once stood, a squat man with very little hair on his head sat on a chair that once held Robotnik's great size. The man is named Snively and he had been in Robotnik's, who is also his uncle, shadow since he took over the city to begin his plan for world domination. Snively survived the explosion caused by the destruction of the Doomsday Project by hiding out in an underground chamber. He began his own plan for world domination but he was on the loosing end since he was not as cunning as his uncle was.

"Curse you Freedom Fighters!" Snively yelled as he pounded the consol on the armrest as he watch the previous day's surveillance tapes.

A door opens and a robot walks in with an unconscious fox in its hands. Snively cracks a smile at the sight of the fox, which appeared to be a combination of orange and brown shaded together, then a bright light was seen near him.

"Who's dares disturb me?" Snively asked as he addressed the silhouetted figure.

The figure let out a laugh and the color had become drained from Snively's face.

"No! It cannot be!" Snively said with extreme fear in his voice as the figure continued to laugh.

Elsewhere in the city of Robotropolis, there were three figures in the shadows as they approached the central headquarters of the city.

"Now remember, Sonic," the brown squirrel warns the blue hedgehog, "we get in and get Tails out."

"Sure thing Sal," the hedgehog name Sonic replied.

The three figures continued to move forward as they entered an air ducts of the central headquarters. They silently crept through the air ducts until they found the room they were looking for.

"This doesn't look right," the rabbit, who is also half robot, with a southern accent.

"I agree with you Bunnie," the squirrel replied as Sonic removed the cover from the air duct so they could enter through. "Don't get reckless, Sonic," warning the hedgehog.

Sonic dropped down to the ground and surveyed the area before signaling to his friends that the area was clear. His friends dropped down a rope so they could climb down to the ground. They approached a cylindrical case that held a prisoner and his eyes became wide open when he saw them.

"Is everything alright!" Sonic asked the fox with a smile.

"I'm fine!" the young fox replied.

The cylindrical prison began to rise freeing the fox; however, an alarm was triggered followed by a cruel laugh and the door shut on the only exit.

"I thought if I took your twin tailed friend captive; you would soon follow, but I didn't expect you to bring friends along in your futile attempt to free him," a voice followed after the laugh.

"Look who decided to show up after a few months of hiding," Sonic sarcastically remarked.

"You're always the same rodent; no matter where I go!" the man came out of the shadows to reveal him to be a man shaped like an egg and with a thick mustache.

"You're not Robotnik!" Sonic shouted at the man who was as shocked as everyone else in the room.

"Silence! I'm Dr. Ivo Robotnik! The greatest scientific genius in the world!"

"You look more like a giant, talking egg to me!" Sonic sarcastically remarked ignoring the squirrel's warning.

The man started fuming, "You will pay for this Sonic the Hedgehog!" He clicked a button on his wrist, "Mecha! Get this hedgehog!"

There was no answer on the other end because it was only static.

"Mecha!" the man shouted again then a low laugh was heard in the room from high above.

The figure was barely silhouetted and their features were indistinguishable.

"Who dares to interrupt me!" Robotnik shouted at the figure as it continued to laugh. "SWAT-bots, get in here and dispose of these pests!" he shouted into his communicator again but he only got static again.

"Don't even try to call in your SWAT-bots because all communications going out from here are currently disabled!" a voice called out by the figure. The voice sounded like a child but it had a mature tone to its speech.

"What are you doing here, fox brat!" Robotnik shouted at the figure.

"I should ask you the same thing… Eggman!" the mysterious figure replied with Sonic snickering at the look of Robotnik's face after the insult.

"The name is Dr. Robotnik! You are almost worse than the hedgehog!" he started to pound on the consol with his fists.

"Worse! I'm not even that sarcastic than Sonic but I should have done this to you a long time ago!" the figure dropped from above and revealed himself.

Sonic did a very fast double take at the figure and Tails. They almost look alike except the figure had a light orange color to his fur and light blue eyes. He also looked more athletic than Tails but he couldn't figure out what was going on as the others couldn't figure it out neither.

"Which is what!"

"In a nice, dark prison cell in which you cannot escape from again like the last time I put you there!"

"You had help from that pathetic Chao of yours and I find that he is not with you since Mecha had taken him out," Robotnik let out a laugh as the fox stood there as he tried to suppress his anger.

"I will make sure that your doppelganger of yours pays for what he did to Ace, but first whatever you are up to; it's not good!"

Robotnik jumped out of the chair he was sitting in and opened fire on the fox. The fox didn't move and the laser just passes through him like he was just a ghost. The figure then vanishes from sight.

"Where are you fox brat!" Robotnik shouted as he looked around for the fox where he stood.

His internal radar warned him that he had something coming towards him. He turns only to be hit by a pair of feet right in the face. It was the same fox that had appeared before the hologram vanished from sight.

"Give it up since you can't win and I outfox you any day of the week," the fox replied as he landed from the kick with a back flip.

"Don't get too cocky, fox boy!" Robotnik shout as he recovered and launched a volley of laser fire.

"I'm not as cocky as Sonic could get but I can still outwit you anytime. What are you up to now?" the fox asked after dodging the volley of fire with extreme agility.

"I might as well tell you since you won't be around any longer. I plan to take over all dimensions so that I can proclaim myself the ultimate scientific genius in the world!"

"You are that there are an infinite number of dimensions and you won't be able to conqueror them in your lifetime."

Just then the door opened up and numerous SWAT-bots entered through with weapons firing. Robotnik made a hasty exit as the others had their attention on the incoming projectiles.

"Bunnie, get us to the rafters!" the squirrel shouted as she pulled out a small orb from her vest and tossed it towards the SWAT-bots to cause a smokescreen.

Bunnie used her extendible robotic legs to reach the rafters with her friends holding onto her arms and with the mysterious fox with them too. They reached the roof to find the area now was on full alert. The squirrel pulled out a rope from her backpack and tied it on a strong anchor before throwing the rope off the side of the building.

"Stay close everyone and this means you Sonic," the squirrel warns Sonic as they landed on the ground.

They all ran from their current location but only ended up getting surrounded by several SWAT-bots. The Tails look alike threw something at the SWAT-bots and they were all disabled on the spot by an electric current.

"Let's move!" he shouted at their stunned faces as he took the lead.

They did make it out of the city and into the Great Forest before they had stopped running. They were all breathing hard except for Bunnie since she had robotic legs.

"Who… are… you?" Sonic asked as he caught his breath.

"Later since we are too close to that robotic city and I would be a target for revenge. Meet me in the field with wildflowers that are in full bloom this time of year in two hours. We can talk then," the fox replied as he slowly regained his breath before he took off leaving a cloud of dust in his wake.

"Whoever he is," the squirrel said after she regained her breath, "he must know a lot about this Robotnik look alike since it is obvious they know each other. Let's get back to Knothole and tell the others about this new enemy."

Just then an explosion was heard towards the city of Robotropolis and thick black smoke could be seen coming from that direction.

"It seems that our new friend is smarter than he looks and we can ask him what those explosions were," the squirrel said before they left for their home in Knothole.

Our hero has met some of his friends in this new dimension and they have different personalities, especially Sonic. What will happen when our pair of twin tailed foxes finally meet face-to-face? How would this Sonic react to a Tails that seems to match his persona? Will Robotnik's plan to conqueror all dimensions succeed or will he fail? Can our hero stop Robotnik's plan with the help of some new friends?


Preview:

This is Tails! I meet my friends' dimensional counterparts in the meadow where the portal took me for a meeting. I tell them what they are up against and they tell me what some of their history is in this dimension. I'm stunned to see my dimensional counterpart is appalled at some of the things I had done; even those times when I was younger. We must stop Eggman from conquering this dimension and find a way to send both of us back home to our proper dimensions!

Post Author's Note: I know that my copyright notice may be wrong, but if you have not guessed it. This chapter takes place in the SatAM universe and this takes place after the second season. The personalities for the characters are different here and the copyright notice goes to the characters in their proper places in their own dimensions.

This part of my fanfic will take time to plan out since it will be complicated for me to do it and I will try to get several Sonic universes into this fanfic too.
