Chapter twenty
"Wow!" Eclipse said as he walked out of the portal and stood to the side of it while looking around in amazement.
"Yeah you said it alright." Sonic said while he took a look around as he stood by Eclipse, all now out of the portal and it closing shut.
"I never knew there were places like this around." Eclipse said with excitement and was smiling very happily.
"Ok I would like to know where we are for the last time I checked our universe, regardless of what alternate dimension version it is, doesn't have visible planets in the sky during the day." Knuckles asked as he frowned up at the skies.
"Or freaky blue grass, or purple leaves, or red tree wood parts." Sonic said as he grinned and was also getting just as excited as Eclipse was.
"Probably a different planet." Shadow casually said as he glanced around slowly.
"Nope, this is Mobius in a different alternate version of reality to your reality, just very different." Zonic said in a matter-of-fact tone to his little zone hopping fellow group members.
"Cool." Silver said with a smile as he too looked up at the visible planets he could see, there being three in the sky and different sizes to suggest how distant they were in space.
"I don't like this zone, can we skip it and go to the next one." Zhadow asked as he deeply frowned while looking up at the sky.
"Hey no way, this place looks awesome." Sonic said with a grin while turning to look at his boyfriends counterpart from No Zone.
"And why don't you like this zone?" Knuckles asked with a raised brow at Zhadow, curious to know the answer.
"Oh there is a very good reason why he doesn't like this zone and I cannot believe I forget too." Zonic said with a devious tone while looking at Zhadow.
"Oh shut up, it is not amusing but totally freaky." Zhadow grumbled as he crossed his arms and pouted a little.
"I am suddenly getting a bad feeling." Shadow muttered with a small frown as he looked at the way Zonic was smirking at Zhadow.
"Now lets explore!" Sonic called out loudly then led the way in a random direction.
The zone hoppers walked for no more than half an hour before coming to a small town that had some sort of metal base in the very middle. After looking at it for about two minutes they pressed on then finally walked into town.
"Well this is boring, lets leave to the next zone yeah." Zhadow said with a slight nervousness in his voice as he stopped briefly.
"Nope." Zonic said with a grin then grabbed Zhadows arm and began to drag him.
"Why do you hate this place so much Zhadow?" Silver asked as he glanced back at the zone cop.
"You will find out soon enough." Zhadow said back with dread as they got closer to the centre.
"I don't think this place is bad." Eclipse said casually with a shrug.
"Yeah it's a cool place, I mean just look at the sky. I have never seen planets that close to Mobius before and from being on the planet too." Sonic cheerfully said with a very happy smile.
"Again I do not feel happy about being here." Shadow said as he hugged Angel a little more tighter making the Dark Chao look up at Shadows concerned features.
"Believe me Shadow, things will get so much worse for us." Zhadow said while still being dragged by his fellow zone cop.
The group stopped in front of the, now large, metal base and looked at it.
"Kind of looks like one of Eggmans bases huh." Sonic said as he looked at it with a small frown, hoping it wasn't.
"Actually we have yet to come across a version of Dr Eggman." Silver said with a small frown, hoping this was not a version of Dr Eggmans base.
Suddenly a door to the side where they were standing began to open up and a slightly overweight female human walked out. She had short brown hair, black out goggles and wearing clothes very similar to Dr Eggman but more feminine and fitted to her figure a little too well.
"Oh my God." Knuckles whispered with wide eyes as even he could tell this was a version of Eggman.
Then not long after this worlds Eggman came out a female version of Shadow walked out then stood beside this worlds Eggman. Both were near the entrance door and looking at the group of zone hoppers. Shadow dropped his jaw in horror and stole a glance at Sonic. Sonic looked as if he was trying so hard not to laugh, even Zonic was looking more amused.
"Damn my brother's a girl here!" Eclipse blurted out with shocked features as he looked at the female Shadow, who was wearing a tight fitting top that revealed the top half of her breasts and skinny fashioned dark blue jeans that did wonders for her slim figure.
"And you all are?" Female Shadow questioned in a soft sweet voice befitting for a lady.
This was all Zonic and Sonic needed to burst out laughing, heck even Silver and Knuckles laughed their heads off.
"Yes can we help you all?" Female version of Eggman asked with a puzzled look at the group, wondering why most were laughing and laughing harder when she spoke.
"Ignore them, they have no brain yet still able to walk and talk, laugh as well. We are all from a differed alternate dimension and travelling from zone to zone." Shadows said with a very unhappy look as he looked at the two females before them.
"This is…this is just great!" Sonic laughed as he wrapped his arms around himself and unable to stop.
"Like I said, no brains." Shadow grumbled with a glare at his boyfriend.
"Ok I'm Zhadow, this is Shadow, Angel, Sonic, Zonic, Silver, Knuckles and Eclipse." Zhadow said with a sigh as he pointed to all and said their name.
"Shadow, you are a girl. This is just so wrong." Eclipse said as he was still in shock at this.
"Yes I agree, so damn wrong." Shadow muttered as he looked at his brother then back at the two females after talking.
"Yes introductions. My name is Ivy Robotnik and this is my lovely auntie, auntie Shannon. She was created by my grandmother fifty-two years ago then shortly after adopted by her making auntie Shannon apart of the family legally." Ivy brightly said with a happy smile at the group, the laughing was now dying down.
"I was created to help protect this town during a war that lasted almost ten years. My nephew Mick, my creators grandson, had to serve. He was shot and never made it sadly, he was everything to me and mother. It destroyed mother and she went into a deep depression where she eventually died of a broken heart." Shannon sadly said with watery eyes as she was still very sad over this.
"I'm sorry to hear that Shannon." Sonic said as he made himself not look amused.
"Yes condolences to you both, it is never easy losing a loved one." Shadow sincerely said as he looked down at his chao as now he was thinking of Maria knowing this Mike guy was a version of Maria but male.
"Anyway, welcome to our beloved town, me and Shannon need to do a little shopping now. We hope you enjoy your visit." Ivy cheerfully said then took Shannon's hand and both walked off with smiles.
"Not a word Faker." Shadow seriously said as he turned and looked at Sonic.
"Ok, Shannon." Sonic grinned and sounding very amused as he sniggered while talking.
"Do you wish to get hurt because if you do then by all means carry on." Shadow aggressively spat as he glared harshly at his boyfriend, even Angel was glaring at Sonic.
"Why would I ever want to get hurt…Shannon." Sonic said as he deviously grinned at Shadow then laughed as Shadow let go of his chao, who began to hover, then charged at him with fists.
The two ran about as Sonic avoided Shadows wrath, going around the base over and over again.
"O-k, are they always like this?" Eclipse asked as he looked at Silver and Knuckles.
"Yeah pretty much." Silver sighed as he shook his head.
"Sonic loves to push his luck with Shadow, you get used to it." Knuckles casually said with little interest.
"Guys, quit the violent chasing and make a damn portal out of here of this adventure is over with!" Zhadow shouted with high annoyance as he just wanted out of this zone.
This made Sonic stop in front of them and Shadow pounced on him then pinned Sonic down firmly.
"You will reframe from daring to compare me to that female or so help me I will leave you and vanish to a place no one will find me." Shadow growled with promise in his voice knowing this would be something Sonic would never want happening.
"Ok babe." Sonic said with panic of that happening then was released.
Both stood up and got there emeralds out to make a portal out of here. Shadow still looked pissed off and it was heard in his voice when saying chaos control, it can also be seen in his features as he kept glaring at Sonic. When the portal was made the group began to walk through, with Shadow taking his chao into his arms before entering. The portal closed when the very last one entered.
