Chapter 2: Railroad Hi-jinx

Hours after the Red Baron and his loyal army rose from the grave, they didn't hesitate to make their first move. They stole a lot of machines and many people all over the world began disappearing. Government military from all over the globe decided to put aside their petty differences to investigate the strange events. Because of that, they could tell that no country is doing any of the thefts and kidnappings, and narrowed it down to a terrorism plot.

The scene shifts to Glyphic Canyon were a hover caravan pack races by as it is being chased by strange machines. "Shoot! I knew I should'a gotten a faster caravan!" the female driver behind the wheel swore. She had pink pigtails for hair and was wearing a futurist reporter's outfit.

"Faster Ulala! They're catching up!" a voice on the intercom shouted.

"I'm trying Fuse, but the technology of this planet is really low tech!" she retorted. "Since the strange events that have been going around the galaxy, I had to get the scoop! It hasn't been this dangerous since Purge was around!"

"Oh no! The machines have broken in!" another voice cried.

"Jaguar! Hold on a little more!" she soon noticed a red bi-plane approaching. "Hey, I know that antique plane anywhere!"

The red plane fired some laser shots at some of the machines that tried to claw their way into the caravan. The plane was none other than the Tornado I, piloted by MOMO the 100-Series Observational Realian prototype. Standing on the wings was the legendary hero Sonic the Hedgehog, wearing a red aviator jacket with matching shirt and jeans and shirt, along with a scarf and goggles on his head. "Who do you think those guys are?" Sonic wondered.

"They don't look like any of Eggman's robots." MOMO pointed out.

"Hey, send me down there! I'm gonna take care of this!" Sonic told her.

"Okay, good luck!" She nodded as she brought the Tornado I down. Sonic hopped off and landed on one of the caravans. As soon as he got there, the mysterious machines turned around to face him.

They didn't have the time to attack him though as he turned into a blue tornado and blew them out of the way. Another wave of robots descended on him and he used Homing Spin to blast them to bits. Within nearly five minutes, he was almost at the front of the caravan trail.

MOMO detected something on the radar. "Sonic! Something huge is coming this way!"

As she said that, a heavily armed black ship appeared above them. It was called the Phantom Sky.

"It's gonna attack the caravan trail! We have to stop it!" Sonic said as he jumped back on to the Tornado.

"Roger!" MOMO nodded as she flew the Tornado I to the Phantom Sky.

PHANTOM SKY (Theme: Yell Dead Cell from Metal Gear Solid 2)

The Phantom Sky fired missiles but the Tornado I dodged them swiftly. "Sonic Wind!" Sonic launched his wind blade attack at the front, damaging it moderately. The Phantom Sky launched robotic air fighters at the Tornado I, MOMO quickly destroyed them with laser guns from the Tornado I. The Phantom Sky then launched homing missiles. "Heads up!" Sonic yelled, MOMO lead the missiles to the back of the Phantom Sky and tricked the missiles into the engine. The Tornado I fired lasers and missiles at the weak points of the Phantom Sky, destroying parts of it. In a last ditch effort, the Phantom Sky got out a huge laser cannon and began charging it up. "MOMO, I'm gonna transfer my energy into the next shot." Sonic said. "Roger! Firing away!" MOMO yelled, Sonic concentrated his Chaos Energy into the missile and MOMO fired it at the cannon, it entered the cannon and exploded, taking out the laser cannon and the Phantom Sky began falling into the canyon, after it crash landed, it exploded.

After the Phantom Sky was destroyed, Sonic and MOMO landed the Tornado I nearby as the went to check on everyone else. "Looks like everyone's doing fine." Sonic chuckled as he rubbed his nose.

"And it's all thanks to you!" a voice said behind him. He and MOMO turned around to find Ulala sitting on a truck before hopping off. "Sonic the Hedgehog. I had a feeling you would show up. Groovy costume by the way." Ulala smirked as she walked up to them.

"Hey Ulala, long time no see. So what brings you here to Earth?" Sonic asked.

"There have been some strange events going around the galaxy and we've traced it to Earth." Ulala commented. "Strange robotic armies have suddenly appeared and taken over mutiple planets!"

"So then," Sonic began as he looked over the caravan. "These trucks here are for..."

"That's right! This is the mobile Space Channel 5 studio! We'll be transmitting live from Earth till the crises is resolved." She noticed MOMO who looked at her curiously as she stood behind Sonic. "Hey, cutie! Don't think we've met before."

"Oh yeah, before I forget." Sonic stepped to the side to introduce MOMO. "This is MOMO. She's a super advanced android from the future. So advanced that you can almost think she's human! MOMO, this is one of the oldest of my old friends, Ulala. She's an ace reporter from the other side of the galaxy and a really good dancer."

"Nice to met you." MOMO smiled.

"Same here." she nodded. "Anyway, like I said, planets on my side of the galaxy have been taken over, but there's very little we can do this time. So we managed to track it to Earth and get the scoop here."

"Planets taken over huh?" Sonic thought out loud. "That's not anything new."

"Really? Care to say a few words then?"

"You might have already heard about the evil sprit Nazo. Then there was an alien genie that tried to kill us. Looks like there's a third powerful enemy we need to fight. I just hope it isn't..."

"Hey, Ulala! Time to get moving!" a kid around Sonic's age shouted from her caravan.

"Just a sec, Noize!" she called back before turning back to them. "Sorry, but we'll have to continue this some other time. You and you're buddies will check out Space Channel 5 for the updates on the crisis, right?"

"We will!" MOMO nodded.

"Alright then Earth-cats, be seeing ya!" Ulala waved as she got in. Sonic and MOMO watched as the caravans departed.

At that moment, MOMO's cell phone rang, she answered and said, "Hello?"

"MOMO, there's something wrong." Jr's voice said. "Can you and Sonic meet us at Mystic Ruins?"

"Sure Jr, be right there." MOMO nodded as she hung up. "I think it may have something to do with the incident that Ulala was talking about. But Jr wants as to get to Mystic Ruins."

"Alright, let's get going." he nodded.

The Tornado I landed near the train station and Sonic and MOMO hoped out and ran into Shion, Amy and the others. Silver and his friends were also there. Interestingly, he was in an Indiana Jones get up. And the Mews and Elliot and Wesley too.

"Whoa, looks like the party's all here. So what's the problem?" Sonic asked.

"An army of robots took over my timeline and we had no choice but to retreat." Silver said.

"The same army is also at Tokyo. The army is doing their best to hold them off while we escaped to get your help." Zoey explained.

"Also, those robots tried to take the Master Emerald, so I have to break it again to protect. We better keep an eye out for the shards of the Master Emerald." Knuckles explained.

"Weird… Something freaky's going on here, and we have to figure out what. Looks like we go to Tails' workshop to find out about those robots." Sonic suggested, the heroes went to Tails' Workshop.

When they reached the door to Tails' Workshop though, the found the door opened. "Huh? Tails' would never leave his door opened like that." Amy said as they stepped inside. Their eyes widened in shock as they saw the lab a complete mess. "What happened to this place!?" Kikki gawked.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Renee frowned.

"Ahoy, Tails! Where are ya mate?" Marine asked as she looked around. Everyone else searched until Cream came across a note and took it.

"What's this?" she wondered as she looked at it.

"A letter?" Bridget wondered as she took it. She unfolded it and read it out loud. The writing looked childish but she could make out what they were saying.

"We HAvE YoU PupPy friEND and He'S gonNA MAke SomETHiNG FoR OUR DaddY. NOw WE'll SeE WHo Gets tHE LAst LAugh YOu MEANiE!!!"

"Oh no!" Bridget gasped as she finished reading. "Someone's taken Tails!"

"What?!" Sonic gasped. "But who?"

"I don't know, the writing is to hard to see." She turned the paper around and frowned as she saw a symbol that she recognized. "Eggman..."

"What would he want with Tails?" Cream asked as she was on the verge of tears.

"Perhaps he's finally getting lazy and is trying to force him into doing the dirty for him." Blaze said frowning.

"I wouldn't be too sure." Jr said as he came from a corner. "The blueprints for the Great Hurricane are gone too."

"So then he wants a ship like that?" Corina asked as she arched an eyebrow.

"The Great Hurricane is a bit like the spaceships from our timeline." Shion explained. "Tails' also produced a power core fill with electromagnetic energy. Something tells me that Eggman found out and tried to do the same thing, but couldn't do it properly."

"So now we have to figure out what's going on and save Tails." Sonic frowned. Then he rubbed his nose. "This should be fun."

"Yeah, about that," Shion said as she walked to a computer and typed in some commands.

"What are you doing?" Jin asked.

"Well, judging what happened the first two times, there's a good feeling that three is a charm. After all, we can't do this alone."

"Wait, you're talking about..." Allen blinked as he caught on to what she was saying.

"Exactly." Shion smiled as she placed on a set of earphones. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

"......Shion?" answer a voice from the computer they knew.

"Hey! That's Tsukune!" Zoey gasped.

"Huh? Tsukune, is that you?" Kagome's voice asked. "What's going on?"

"Yeah, we can hear you on our cell phones, but we don't know where we are." Raye's voice said.

"Looks like you guys ended up on different corners of the world." Shion guessed. "And if all of you are here then that means there's another powerful enemy we have to stop. Also, Tails has gone missing. Sorry, but we'll be needing your help again."

"So what's the plan?" Himeno's voice asked.

"I've already pinpointed your locations and we'll be using the Great Hurricane to travel. Until we reach you, just sit tight and perhaps you can find out what's going on."

"Sure, we can do that!" Asuna's voice said.

"We'll be waiting!" Lina's voice said as the line went off.

"I guess we now have to travel the world. This will be exiting!" Bridget smiled.

"Hope you guys have extra money." Sonic quipped.

"And it will be a good time to brush up on your world history." Elliot smirked at Zoey.

"Awwwww!!" She groaned as tears came down on her face in a funny way.

For the next hour our so, everyone packed up their things and prepped the Great Hurricane. Tails had added some more things for observation and entertainment. After getting everything they needed, they were at the bridge.

"OK!" Marine smiled as she went to the wheel. "Captain Marine, here! So let's-"

"Sorry Marine." Sonic said as he took the wheel from her. "But in Tails' absence, I'll pilot the Hurricane."

"Rats!"

"Alright." Sonic smiled heroically as he took the wheel. "The World Adventure is about to begin!" The Great Hurricane took off into the sky.

Sonic and the Resistance now have to deal with Eggman along with this mysterious foe!
