Title: Blast to the Past
Chapter 7: The Master Plan
.:In the Future at the Hedgehog Household:.
After explaining the situation to Maria, Xavier finally began to wake up.
"So…you ran over here, without telling your dad what you planned to do in order to get my help in your plan to save Rosy, Flash and Dash?" Maria recapped. Sun smiled,
"Yeah! We'd be so gracious if you would help us Maria!" The hedgehog looked at her,
"Sorry but no. You should probably go home, before Tails starts accusing my dad of kidnapping you or something," Maria said with a wave of her hand. Maria was Shadow and Tikal's eldest daughter at the age of 12. She was a black hedgehog with quills framing her face and the rest pulled up into a high pony-tail. She also had orange highlights on her quills as well, and was wearing orange eye shadow. She was wearing a red blouse with white stars on it and white shorts.
Xavier on the other hand was beginning to wake up due to the twins poking him, "Ugh…what happened?"
"Its alright," Sun said as she smiled brightly, "I left a note for them!" Maria looked at the seedrian girl in annoyance. She had a feeling that the persistant seedrian wouldn't leave until she got what she came for.
"Fine," the hedgehog sighed, "You can come in…" Maria said as she gestured for Sun and Xavier to come inside, "But make sure my mom and dad don't hear you, or I'll get chewed out by Tails." Sun smiled sheepishly,
"Thanks Maria!" She then began to drag Xavier into the house, "Come on brother! Don't be such a baby! Get up!" Xavier whined,
"Aww…" Maya and Inca looked at each other and nodded before they grabbed Xavier's legs and dragged him into the house
Once the 5 of them were inside, Maria led them to her room, where she knew they could have some privacy. Once she locked the door, she turned towards them,
"What do you need me to do?"
"We need to get to Angel Island! Then once we're there we can get Jem to fly us to Lily's house and then Lily can transport us to the past!" Sun said, waving her hands in excitement. Maria groaned,
"One, that's a dumb plan. Jem can't fly everyone, he's not strong enough. Two, Lily hasn't perfected her time traveling skills yet and I'm pretty sure that Blaze won't let her leave the palace without her permission. And Three, my Dad's going to kill me once he find's out that I'm helping you guys. Why can't we just wait for their parents to get them back?" Maria groaned. Sun put on a determined look,
"Because they're our friends Maria. We have to show some effort that we're trying to save them!" Sun said as she put her hands on her hips.
"Well, you could just chaos control Sun and I to Angel Island, then Jem can fly there, while Sun runs there and you chaos control us there, then Lily can take us back in time," Xavier said, as he spoke up. Sun turned towards him,
"What!? Do I look like Flash or Dash to you? Or even Rosy? I don't want to run all the way to Lily's kingdom! That's like a continent away!"
"It'd payback for dragging me all the way out here," Xavier retorted. Maria on the other hand, was pondering the idea,
"Actually…that's not a half bad plan, Xavier…" Maria said as she grinned at the green fox, "That could work." Xavier blushed, normally he was never complimented on his ideas.
Maya and Inca looked at each other before Maya took out her lollipop,
"Maria what about us?" The three older kids went silent at hearing Maya's voice. Maria's face gained a smile as she bent down so she could be eye leval with her sister,
"Maya I think you and Inca should stay here. I don't want you guys to get in trouble with Mom and Dad,"
"But I wanna help. Flash and Dash are my friends too," Maya said stubbornly. Inca also looked upset,
"Why don't you let them come Maria?" Sun asked,
"What if something goes wrong, and we all get stuck in the past? Or what if we get separated? I don't want to have Maya and Inca go through that!" Maria said angrily. Sun blanched,
"Okay…no need to yell…"
"You just have to stop getting on my nerves then! I'm not going to put my little brother and sister in danger for your plan!" Maria retorted before facing her twin siblings once more,
"Guys it'll be fine. Plus, you can cover for me if Mom and Dad ask where we are, okay?" Maria asked as she ruffled their heads. Maya still looked upset but nodded. Inca turned to face away from her and left the room. Maya, noticing his upsetness, placed her lollipop in her mouth and followed her twin.
Once they left, Sun grinned,
"Maya's just so cute! And Inca as well! He's just like Uncle Shadow when Dad was a kid!" the seedrian girl said as Maria smiled,
"Yeah," her face turned stern again, "Which is why I don't want them to get involved in this crazy plan and get hurt! Now let's go over the plan once more…" Maria said as the door shut,
`Maya on the other hand was following Inca, who was angrily running around the house.
"Inca wait!" Maya called out. Inca stopped running and faced his twin, a look of determination on his face,
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Maya said in confusion. Inca nodded, and Maya grinned mischiviously,
"Then let's do this!"
Back in Maria's room, the black hedgehog was sighing, "Okay…now gather around me. You guys need to be touching me in order for me to induce Chaos Control," Maria said as Sun and Xavier touched her shoulders,
"Chaos…" Maya and Inca watched as Maria, Sun and Xavier stood in a circle, "CONTROL!" Maria shouted,
And with a flash of light, they were gone.
"They're going to Angel Island first. Should we go there or straight to the Palace?" Inca looked at her, and Maya nodded at the unspoken put the lollipop back in her mouth before they both dashed out of the house.
.:On Angel Island:.
All was quiet on the island…
Except for the three shouting kids,
"Wow! You're so cool Maria!"
"My head hurts…"
"Shut up Sun! I can't focus with your talking!"
"What? I was complimenting you!"
"Wow! We didn't land in the water for once! You must have really been improving!" Xavier said as she patted Maria's shoulder. The black hedgehog gave the fox a condeseding look,
"Don't patronize me." Xavier backed away wide-eyed,
"Sorry!" he yelped. Maria turned her back towards him,
"Anyway…lets figure out where we are…if I'm correct then the shrine should be…" she turned around pointed in the opposite direction to where they were standing,
"East! Its in that direction," Maria commanded before truding off,
"Wait for us Maria!" Sun shouted before charing after her. Not wanting to be left behind, Xavier ran after them.
"Don't run so fast! I'm still dizzy!" After a few more minutes of trudging through Angel Island's thick flora, they caught sight of a familiar set of ruins.
"Hey look! Its Jem!" Sun called out happily, "Hi Jem-" Maria's hand shot over the seedrian girl's mouth.
"Shut it Sun. Knuckles has immaculate hearing and if he knows we're here he'll call our parents." Sun's eyes widened at the prospect.
"Then how do we get his attention?" Xavier whispered. Maria brought her hands up to her lips and whisted some sort of bird call. The bat's eyes shot open and he looked down from his spot on the shrine only to see the three kids. He cracked a smile and yelled to his dad that he was going to take a break, before spreading his wings and flying down towards the group.
"Hey Maria," Jem greeted with a grin, "Should I ask what's going on or would I rather not know?" Maria grumbled. Sun took this as an invitation to speak,
"Hi Jem! Guess what? Rosy, Flash and Dash went missing! So we're on this mission to find them! But we need your help! We need you to fly us to Lily's house so that she can use her time travelling skills and take us into the past!" Xavier pushed her away,
"Ignore her. We want you to come with us to save Rosy, Flash and Dash." Jem's eyes widened,
"Are they okay? What happened?" Xavier then began to explain to Jem what had happened. Once he was finished, the bat whisteled.
"Those twins never seem to get out of trouble do they?"
"And Rosy just keeps getting thrown into the mess, when she's trying to prevent it…" Maria said as she sighed, "So are you coming Jem or what?" Jem grinned,
"I wouldn't miss it for the world! Anything to get out of guardian duty!" He shivered. Due to the fact that he was Knuckles's son, he was automatically given the burden of having to watch the Master Emerald. However, he found it dreadfully boring.
"Alright! We're one step closer to saving them!" Sun cheered before Maria tackled her,
"Sun keep it down!" Maria whispered harshely. Sun grumbled, "Lets move!" Jem touched Maria's shoulder and Xavier grabbed Sun's hand and squeezed, "Chaos control!" she whispered harshly as they all disappeared in a flash of light.
The light reappeared in front of a regal looking castle. Once the light died down, Maria collapsed,
"Dear…dear lord of chaos…" the hedgehog panted. Jem raced to her side and helped her up,
"You okay Maria?" Jem asked as he wrapped an arm around her, concern laced in his voice.
"I've used Chaos Control one to many times today…" Maria said as she began to regulate her breathing, "The real question is how are we supposed to get into the castle without alerting Queen Blaze or King Silver?" However, she had spoken too late,
"Open open open up Auntie Blaze-" Sun chirped as she knocked on the great wooden gate that led the way to the castle. Xavier's eyes widened and he ran at a speed that would make Flash jealous, before grabbing his sister,
"Sun, do you want us to be caught!? Think before you act!" Xavier scolded.
"Statement of the centuary," The black hedgehog said sarcastically, rolling her eyes as well.
"Maria…" Jem said as he gave her a look. Maria said nothing as she turned her head away from them. Sun looked down in shame,
"Sorry big bro…"
"Its alright my Sunflower," Jem said as he grabbed her hand and gave her a breath taking smile. Sun's face instantly regained its determination,
"Right! Now how are we supposed to find Lily without getting Auntie Blaze and Uncle Silver to see us?!" A soft voice spoke out of nowhere,
"Uh…what are you guys doing?" Everyone turned around instantly. Behind them stood a lavender cat with a red jem on her forehead. She was wearing a green and yellow dress with green shoes. In her hand was a bag of vegetables.
"Hi Lily! We were just looking for you!" Sun said as she gave the cat a hug, "Its been so long!"
"Never mind that…" Lily said as she put the bag down, "What are you guys doing here? Mom didn't tell me you were coming. I wouldn't have gone on this errand then!" Jem sweatdropped,
"Why are you carrying a bag of groceries anyway Lily? You are the princess…"
"Just because I'm the princess doesn't mean that I can't be nice and help out the chefs!" Lily huffed, "Stereotypes these days…not all princesses sit around daintily all day!"
"Anyway, there's no time to go into a debate about Woman's roles in society! We need to talk, ASAP!"
