Episode 7: Talk to the Chaos
In the Sky Patrol one afternoon, Sun and the others are having lunch as they explain to Knuckles about what has happened to him and the others, and everything Sun has told them about her and her friends finding the shards of the Master Emerald. What really surprises Knuckles is the fact she is able to use the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald's powers. Of course, Knuckles is not happy to hear that he's been controlled… again in his case.
"A lot has happened while we were trapped in the Chaos Emeralds, huh," Knuckles replies.
"I know it's a lot for you to take in, but I do hope you feel a lot better now," Sun says.
"I'm okay. I guess," Knuckles says.
He then grits his teeth, "I can't believe I attacked you guys… again."
"Knuckles, what happened wasn't your fault," Sun says.
"She's right. Glittering Sparkle used the power of Eggman's creation to control you and uh, turned into you know who," Sonic says.
"But still… I attacked you all blindly," Knuckles says.
"It's okay Knuckles. What matters is that the Master Emerald is back where it belongs and now with you free, we only have four more to rescue," Sun says.
Knuckles sighs, "You're right. We need to get Tails, Amy, Rouge, and Shadow out."
Then turns to Sun, "But still, I can't believe you were able to use the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald the way you did. I find it incredible."
"Oh I don't know about that. I find it amazing, but from what Sonic's been telling me, you all were able to use them much better than I can," Sun says.
"Aww, don't be so modest Sun. With that kind of ability, you might be Knuckles substitute," Mighty says.
"Substitute? For what?" Sun asks.
"He means as Guardian. It's their job to not only guard the Master Emerald, but also take care of Angel Island," Knuckles says.
"But I don't think Sun might want to stay and watch over a rock all day," Julie-Su remarks.
"Very funny," Knuckles mutters.
Dimtri steps forward, sort of speak, "But I have to agree, it seems astonishing that Sun was able to control the Emeralds, and was able to free you, Sonic, and young Cream and Cheese."
Then turns to Sun, "From what you explained, you somehow been able to use the Chaos Emeralds and used the Master Emerald in your world. You also explained that five of the shards ended up in your body. I find it so surprising."
"But I still don't understand how the shards got into my body. Why did I have the five shards in me while the rest were scattered?" Sun asks.
"Hmm, that is something of a puzzle itself. However, I do believe you are very special girl. A human girl or a pony you say, never used the emeralds. Yet, you were able to use them like you're a Guardian. However, you must be careful. There are many beings in this world who are after the emeralds, you must be sure to guard them so you can free those who are still imprisoned. I believe you are brave enough to handle the obstacles in this world," Dimitri says.
"Thank you Dimitri," Sun says.
"So w-what d-do we d-do n-now?" Ray asks.
"It's hard to tell. Neither Glittering Sparkle nor Dr. Eggman have been heard since yesterday. However, they are due to make an appearance," Espio says.
"What about you guys? What will we do now?" Sun asks.
"I need to guard the Master Emerald. I can't take Eggman or that Glittering Sparkle if they try to go after it. But… I don't want to leave you guys knowing Amy and the others are trapped inside," Knuckles says.
"I understand, but you're right. Glittering Sparkle and Dr. Eggman might try to steal it if we left it alone. It might be best for you to stay at the Island and we can call each other in case anything comes up. Meanwhile, the Freedom Fighters and I can head back to the city and come up with another plan," Sun says.
"I'm concerned about what you're saying about Glittering Sparkle. You said her hair and eyes changed colors," Sally says.
"And… you said that the Dark Chaos Emerald Dr. Eggman created is attached to Glittering Sparkle's chest," Saffron adds, concern.
"Yes. I'm afraid the Dark Chaos Emerald is already starting to take over her mind. If we don't figure out how to remove it, it might corrupt her completely. And I hate to think about what will happen after that. I'm worried something bad might happen to her," Sun says, concern.
"You're worried about her. She tried to crush us," Vector replies.
"I know, but I can't leave her here and allow the emerald to corrupt her. I need to find a way to remove it," Sun says.
"Spoken like a true hero," Sonic says, giving Sun a thumbs up.
"And don't worry, the Chaotix and the Chaotix Detective Agency are on the job to help guard the Master Emerald. Just tell Amy and the others we say high once you free them," Vector says.
"Thank you," Sun happily says.
Sometime later, the Sky Patrol is flying in the air. Sonic, Sun and the others have goodbye to see Knuckles, Julie-Su, Dimitri, and the Chaotix are at the Altar where the Master Emerald is. They wave goodbye to see Sun, Sonic, and the Freedom Fighters heading back home to New Mobotropolis. Rotor flies the Sky Patrol across the sky as Angel Island is far enough not to be seen.
In the Sky Patrol, Sun, Cream, and Cheese are sitting on the couch while Sonic sleeps on the other side of it. Sun places the red, cyan blue, yellow, and white Chaos Emerald on one side of the table while the blue, purple, and green are on the other side.
"We only have four more friends to save," Cream happily says.
"We do, but we still have a long way to go before they can come out," Sun says.
She then looks at her bracelet, "I'm surprised I got charms when I freed Sonic and Knuckles."
"I agree. They look pretty and they look like Sonic and Knuckles," Cream happily says.
Cream then picks up the Green Emerald she's in.
"I wonder what kind of charm you'll get next?" Cream replies.
"I'm not sure. But I'm sure we'll see soon enough," Suns says, and places her hand on the emerald Cream is holding.
Cheese happily flies to the Emerald and places his hand on it as well. Suddenly, the Green Chaos Emerald begins to glow causing the girls and Cheese to gasp in shock. Sonic becomes blinded by the light as he yelps and falls on the ground.
Sonic sits up and asks, "What's going on?"
"I'm… I'm not sure," Sun replies.
"I hope nothing bad happens," Cream says, frightened.
Cheese nervously says, "Chao. Ch-Ch-Chao."
Just then, a small green orb flies out of the Green Chaos Emerald and toward Sun's bracelet. The light disappears and attached to the bracelet is another charm. This one resembles Cream and Cheese. Sun, Sonic, Cream, and Cheese look at the charm on Sun's hand.
Cheese says, "Chao Chao Chao."
"I have to agree Cheese, that is strange," Sun says.
Sonic and Cream looks at Sun and Cheese with confused looks.
Cream asks, "That's right, but how did you know."
"I.. I'm not sure," Sun says.
Sun turns to Cheese, "So Cheese how are you feeling?"
"Chao Chao. Chao. Chao Chao Chao. Chao Chao. Chao," Cheese says.
"I'm glad you're feeling alright, but we had lunch two hours ago. You don't want to eat too much," Sun says.
"Chao Chao?" Cheese says, surprised.
"Amazing. You can understand Cheese, and Cream was the only one who can really understand what he says," Sonic says.
Sun blinks with a confused look and looks at her new charm.
She thinks in surprise, "The charm… gave me the ability to understand Cheese.. And possibly his Chao kind."
Hours later, after returning to New Mobotropolis, Sun, Cream, and Cheese are having a having tea in Vanilla's home.
Cream says, "That really amazing that you're able to talk to Cheese."
"I must admit. I find it very impressive. Cream and I are the only ones who can understand what Cheese is saying," Vanilla says.
"I was surprised by it as well. I guess the new charm of Cream and Cheese allow me to understand what they're saying," Sun says.
"That could make things easier for you to understand him and the other Chaos," Cream says.
"Other Chaos? I didn't know there were others," Sun says.
Cream giggles, "Of course. You didn't think Cheese is the only Chao."
"I guess I never thought too much about it," Sun says.
"Chao Chao Chao Chao. Chao Chao. Chao Chao. Chao Chao Chao," Cheese happily says.
"I see. So there are many different kinds of Chaos on Mobius," Sun says, hearing what Cheese says.
Then asks, "You think I could meet them?"
"Of course dearie. The Chaos lives at the Power Ring Pool that is close by. You should finish your tea and then we can take you to the pool," Vanilla says.
"Yes ma'am," Sun says.
She then begins to finish drinking her tea along with Cream and Cheese. Some time later, the girls and the little Chao walk to a large pool that looks like a medium sized lake. The pool has flowers, grass and trees around the area. What amazes Sun is to see so many Chaos at the are. Many of them are flying over the water. They are also either swimming, having fruits and berries, and play in the trees.
"Wow! There are so many Chaos. They all look so happy living here," Sun says.
"Yes. They're all our friends, especially Cheese. We come here almost all the time," Cream says.
Sun asks, "Cream, what can you tell me about the Chao?"
"Well, the Chaos are very friendly creatures and always live in places that are clean. Many of the Chao Colony's mostly lived in secret areas places to play, food to eat, and water for them to drink. The water needs to be clean so they won't get sick," Cream says.
"I'm guessing you know a lot about the Chao," Sun says.
"Oh yes. I used to live in a house that has a large Chaos Garden with a lake. Sadly, Snively ruined it," Cream says.
"Snively? Who's he?" Sun asks.
"He's Dr. Eggman nephew and he is just as mean as Dr. Eggman. We haven't seen him in a while," Cream says.
Sun says, "I'm guessing there are more bad guys in this world than I thought."
"Yes. There are many villains you need to watch out for, and some might try to take the Chaos Emeralds from you," Cream says, worried.
"Don't worry, I'll be sure the Chaos Emeralds doesn't leave my sight," Sun says.
Suddenly, they hear a strange sound of someone screaming. The Chaos soon become confused and some are starting to get worried.
"I'm thinking someone's coming this way," Sun says.
The Chaos panic as they point at a certain direction. The girls and the little Chao turn their heads to see something or someone rolling this way. The watch as the strange object rolls past them and then with a splash! The something lands in the lake. The look to see a lynx that has brown fur with black stripes and pointed ears and a light peach on his stomach.
Sun walks to the edge of the water and asks, "Are you okay?"
"Y-yes. I'm okay. I just tripped and fell into the lake," The Lynx says.
Sun picks up the Lynx and places him on the grass.
"I'm glad you aren't hurt," Sun says.
"I'm glad too… Um… my name is Larry Lynx," The Lynx says.
"My name is Sun, pleased to meet you," Sun says.
Larry becomes surprised, "Really? You Sun? I-I heard a lot about you. You were the girl who appeared in the city out of nowhere and you helped Sonic defeated the robot."
"Um yes," Sun says, embarrassed.
"It's great to meet you, and uh, sorry about that," Larry says.
"It's okay. I don't mind. I'm glad you aren't hurt," Sun says.
"Thank you. I-I better get going. I'm expected to be somewhere and I can't be late," Larry says.
"Okay," Sun says.
Larry then hurries off and says, "I hope to see you again soon."
"Okay. Bye," Sun happily says.
Soon, Larry Lynx is gone and is off to do some important work, whatever it is.
"He seems nice, a bit timid too," Sun says.
"Yes, but Larry is very nice," Cream says.
Just then, the Chao begins to fly around Sun as they 'Chao.' They all smile as they gather around Sun. Some of them even play in her hair. Sun can't help but laugh with a smile on her face. The Chao grabs Sun's hands as they pull her to stand on her feet.
Sun continues to giggle, "What's going on?"
The Chaos continue to pull Sun towards the water.
Cream giggles, "I think they want to take you for a swim."
"As much as I want to, but I don't have a swimsuit," Sun says.
Cheese then brings out a ball as he says, "Chao Chao."
"Cheese is suggesting we play a game of ball instead," Cream says.
The Chao happily call out with smiles on their faces.
"Looks like the others agree as well," Sun says.
Cheese then tosses the ball to Cream. Then Cream catches it and tosses it to Sun. Sun then tosses the ball to one of the Chaos. Sun, Cream, Cheese, and the Chaos begin to play ball together with smiles on their faces. Vanilla watches them play with a smile on their face.
Cream tosses the ball, "Catch Cheese."
"Chao," Cheese happily says, catching the ball.
Cheese then tosses the ball to one of the Chaos. Sun smiles as she plays with the Chaos, Cream, and Cheese. They all continue to play the ball as Vanilla watches them play the game of ball.
Meanwhile, Sonic, Sally, and the other Freedom Fighters are having a meeting about the events.
"Alright guys, Tails, Amy, Shadow, and Rouge are still in the emeralds. We also know that Glittering Sparkle is starting to be corrupted by the Dark Chaos Emerald Dr. Eggman created," Sonic says.
"That's right. Sun seems to be the only one who was able to get them out. However, Glittering Sparkle was able to do that too and corrupted Knuckles. It is very vital to our mission to keep the Chaos Emeralds away from Glittering Sparkle," Sally says.
"Yeah. We don't want any more of our friends being corrupted," Rotor says.
"As long as we can keep Sun and the Chaos Emeralds safe, we don't have anything to worry about," Sonic says.
"On another note, where is Sun right now?" Sally asks.
Nicole appears on the screen of HQ, "Sun is playing with the Chaos at the Power Ring Pool. They seem to be having a lot of fun."
"That's good to hear. I'm glad Sun is able to make the most of it," Bunnie says.
Sally sighs, "I'm glad Sun is trying to keep her spirits up. Despite her being far away from her home. Her friends and family must be so worried about her."
"No kidding. The kid has spirit. I think it's great to have her as an honorary Freedom Fighter," Sonic says.
"Yes. I just hope we can help her find a way back to her home world," Sally says.
Sonic places his hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, we'll find a way to get our friend's home. I just hope we can stop Eggman and Glittering Sparkle before anything else happens. Besides, what's the worse can happen."
"I can name a lot of things," Sally mutters.
Outside of New Mobotropolis, someone appears in a flash of light and holds a strange glowing rock. The being is a hedgehog like Sonic, but has silver-white fur and white fur on his chest. He has large quills that goes upward at the front and down at the back. He also has peach skin, gold eyes. He wears a white, navy and aqua boots with gold cuffs, white gloves with gold cuffs and circular aqua symbols.
The hedgehog says, "Now to find a girl who can save the future."
He then flies up in the air while he is surrounded by a strange aqua aura.
Sometime later, Sun, Cream, Cheese, Vanilla, and the Chaos are relaxing on the grass next to the lake. Cream and Sun take off their shoes and socks, and Sun rolls up her pants so they can put their feet in the water. Cheese happily relaxes next to Cream with a smile on his face.
"It's really relaxing, isn't it?" Cream asks.
"It sure is. I don't remember the last time I've ever been this relaxed," Sun says.
"I have to agree. You have to deal with all kinds of challenges besides fighting magic. You're also a student and a sister to me Cheese, Screwball and Regana," Cream says.
"Chao Chao," Cheese replies.
"Yes," Sun says.
Sun sadly sighs, "I really miss them. I miss my friends and my family. I hope you're doing alright."
"You really miss them, don't you?" Sun sadly asks.
"Yeah. I never have to be away from all my friends for this long before. There was one time and I was abducted," Sun says.
"Kidnapped?" Cream asks, shocked.
"It's a long story. Of course, my friends were able to find me and rescue me when I was in trouble. My friends aren't able to help me in this situation," Sun says.
Cream hugs Sun, "It's okay Sun, you got all of us now. And we promise to help you find a way to get home."
"Thanks Cream," Sun says with a smile.
Cream then asks, "Sun, can you um, can you sing a song? Please?"
"Um, I don't know," sun replies.
"Please. I'm sure it will cheer you up. Plus, I'm sure the Chaos will want to hear you sing too," Cream says.
Sun turns her head to see the Chaos happily fly around them with glee.
Sun says, "I guess I could sing a song for you guys."
The Chaos happily cheer with smiles on their faces. They really want to sing a song for them. Sun then begins to sing a song.
Sun:
Dreams to dream
In the dark of the night
When the world goes wrong
Cream, Cheese, and the Chaos smile to hear Sun singing.
Sun:
I can still make it right
Meanwhile, the silver hedgehog is still flying over the city when the singing catches his attention.
Sun:
I can see so far in my dreams
I'll follow my dreams
The silver hedgehog continues to follow the voice and lands on a rooftop close by.
Sun:
Until they come true
The hedgehog looks over the rooftop to see Sun singing while sitting next to Cream and Cheese, and the Chaos.
The silver hedgehog thinks, "It's her."
Sun:
Come with me
You will see what I mean
Sun the takes her feet out of the water.
Sun:
There's a world inside
No one else ever sees
She then looks at the water to see her reflection in the water.
Sun:
You will go so far in my dreams
Sun then stands up and begs to dance on the grass.
Sun:
Somewhere in my dreams
Sun continues to dance and spin around a little.
Sun:
Your dreams will come true
Sun then walks to find herself surrounded by happy Chaos. The silver hedgehog decides to let the girl continues with her song as he shows a soft smile on his face.
Sun:
There is a star
Waiting to guide us
Sun then picks a pink flower from the ground and places it in her hair.
Sun:
Shining inside us
Cream and Cheese feels very happy to hear Sun singing.
Sun:
When we close our eyes
Sun twirls a little and in a moment, Sun's alicorn wings, pony ears, and extended tail appears magically much to the silver hedgehog's shock.
Sun:
Don't let go
If you stay close to me
In my dreams tonight
Sun continues to dance across the ground as Cream, Cheese, Vanilla, and the other Chaos watch.
Sun:
You will see what I see
Dreams to dream
Sun then sits down next to Cream and Cheese who are now sitting under the tree.
Sun:
As near as can be
Inside you and me
They always come true
Cream, Cheese, Vanilla, and the Chaos smile to hear Sun ending her song. Sun feels very happy when she sings her song. To her, singing reminds her when she sings with her friends and family. She does miss them, but singing makes her feels better about it.
"That was very beautiful," A voice speaks up.
Sun and the others turn their heads to see Sonic, Sally, and the rest of the Freedom Fighters.
Sun blushes a little and asks, "Um, how long have you been listening?"
"Well enough to know that you're an awesome singer," Sonic says.
"You're signing is great, sugarcube," Bunnie happily says.
"Oui, it is ze most beautiful," Antoine comments.
"Yes. I never knew you could sing so beautifully," Nicole says.
"I agree," Sally replies.
"Thank you. I was was singing to the Chaos," Sun says.
"Well, from the looks of it, they seem to really like you singing," Sonic says.
The Chaos happily cheer and clap their little hands as they jump on the ground. Sun can't help but smile.
"Still, I didn't know you could sing," Sally says.
"Yes. I also play guitar too. Back in Canterlot City, me and my friends formed a band called The Rainbooms. We're a bit of a famous rock band on the net and at school," Sun says.
"And with a voice like that, I'm betting your lead singer," Sonic suspects.
"That's correct," Sun says.
"That sounds cool. You know, I'll bet Mina and her band will really like to meet you," Sonic says.
"Who's Mina?" Sun asks.
"Mina is a friend of ours, but she's away on a tour with her band. The Forget-Me-Nots. I'm sure she and her band will love to hear you sing," Nicole says.
"I don't know about that," Sun says.
"You never know. I'll bet you'll really like you," Sonic says.
Sun blushes a little, "Thanks."
Sonic, and the others begins to laugh and the Chaos begin laughing a little. Soon, Sun begins to laugh along with them as well with smiles on their faces.
They are soon cut off to hear someone calling, "I think you sing great."
Sun and the others look over to see the silver colored hedgehog landing on the ground. Sonic and the others gasp in shock to see the hedgehog levitating himself to the ground, even Sun is shocked. What she doesn't know is that this isn't the first time Sonic and the others have seen him.
"Um Sonic, who is this?" Sun asks.
The hedgehog answers, "My name is Silver the Hedgehog. I return here to the present to help save my future."
Sonic and the others are shocked to see the hedgehog. To Sun, she is not only shocked, but surprised by what he says. 'Returning to the present to save his future,' sounds confusing to her. She figures that something strange is going on.
