HELLO! Now That I've got a few weeks off from classes, I have a chance to continue! So I'll keep you waiting no longer. Here's Ch. 3!
Time: Midnight.
The moon in the sky illuminated a faint, blue light in the dark forest and city down below. Within the darkness stool tall the great Castle Acorn. Its bright lit windows also glowed into the night. The reason why the Castle was so bright in the middle of the night was because a certain meeting was taking place in the royal throne room. A meeting describing what may soon endanger planets Mobius and Mobius Z.
Seating on the thrones were none other than the royal Acorn family themselves: King Maximillian Acorn and his wife Alicia, they're daughter Sally and her brother Elias. Also attending the meeting were a few very important people not only to the kingdom, but the world itself: Sonic & Amy Rose, Knuckles & Julie-Su, Tails & Cream, Rouge & Shadow, Vector with Mighty, Charmy, and Espio, along with Geoffrey St. John, his wife Hershey and their secret service. Standing before all of them was Rotor, who proceeded with his presentation once everyone was present.
"Yes everyone, I realize it's late, but what I have to say tonight could not be delayed. Now I've called you all here to explain a most unpleasant discovery."
Everyone waited with anticipation.
"Just six hours ago, my satellite system orbiting and monitoring Mobius Z had detected unknown activity on the planet's surface. That in itself looked bad enough. But it didn't end there. The system concluded in stating that a new Zone was beginning to form on the planet!"
Everyone's eyes widened in the room. Except for Sonic and Amy, who had already heard the news earlier. However, Vector didn't seem all too surprised.
"And this is urgent news, why?" he asked.
"A good question, Vector." Rotor replied. "Here's the lowdown. Three years ago, we all can remember the explosion of the Master Emerald, and creating Mobius Z as it's after effect. Since each and every Zone exists in its own dimension and reality, as long as they react as one simultaneously, there is no danger. However, if only one Zone were to suddenly begin form out of nowhere, it can greatly upset the balance between every other Zone on the planet, thus causing extreme damage to the whole world."
King Max was now looking quite interested. "Rotor, exactly how sever could this damage be?"
Rotor continued his explanation. "Actually your majesty, there are several theories and possibilities as to what may happen. The one new Zone could take the place of another existing one, and could probably destroy the existence of others. Or two Zones could maybe end up fusing together, thus creating and uneven balance of power that can end up resulting implosion. But whatever the effect, the very backbone of Mobius Z would be completely shattered, and eventually will result in its own destruction!"
Everyone's mouths dropped in shock.
Sonic spoke up. "Meaning that all the Zones would be gone forever, Rotor?"
"Unfortunately, that's correct Sonic" he answered with a frown.
"Ooooohhh…" Rouge suddenly fainted as Shadow caught her. He could here her mumble, "All of Quartz Quadrant's jewels…gone…no…anything but that……"
Everyone couldn't help but sweatdrop.
Knuckles turned his attention back to Rotor. "So, now we know the bad news. Is there any good news in all this?"
Everyone looked back at Rotor for the answer.
'Man, sometimes I hate to be the center of attention' he thought to himself. "The good news," he began, "is I already have a plan."
Reaching behind his poster board and charts, he presented everyone with a large, white suitcase-like container and opened it before them. Inside appeared to be some rather strange equipment. Rotor drew their attention away from it as he showed them some sort of handheld radar or detector.
"This device in my hand is programmed to trace the presence and location of the unknown Zone within a 25 mile radius. I know that doesn't sound like much distance, but its all I could program on such short notice. Now finding the Zone is the first step. And the equipment in this container, well I'll have to explain that later. It would be much too complicated if I tried to explain now."
Rotor then turned his attention to King Max. "Your majesty, do I have your permission to proceed?"
Max didn't wait a second to respond. "You may, Rotor."
Rotor did as he was told. "Now you all must know the main reason I've called you all here. I need a large group of volunteers to take part in an immediate mission to Mobius Z to see how we can correct this event and prevent devastating harm from coming to the planet. Do I have any takers?"
Everybody looked at each other with concern. To go, or not to go? That is a tough question…
Who do YOU think will end up going? Attention you all! If there is a certain character among the ones listed you would like to for sure take part in this upcoming mission, just say so and the rest of the story will continue by your response. So don't forget to review, please! BYE FOR NOW!
