Chapter One Surprise Surprise
Later on in the day Chris was at his Collages lab were he held the portal. Also Chuck, Danny, Frances and Helen were thier to help Chris. His Parents were there as well to see Chris off. He was going alone like last time because the last time Chris tried visiting Sonic's world, he got turned into a kid again. After a couple more minutes of prepairing, Helen turned to Chris.
"Everything is ready to go Chris. Are you sure you still want to go alone again?"
"Yes. I dont know if anything will happen like last time. For all I know I could end up as an old man, so it's better if I go alone like last time." Chris's mother walked up to him.
"Well at least take this with you." His Mother hands him a backpack.
"Whats this?"
"It's a change of clothes for if you become a child again." Chris smilled and flung the backpack over his back then turned to Helen.
"Ok Helen, activate the portal." Helen started the acivation sequence and the portal came to life. Soon after Chuck spoke.
"I've already put the blueprints for the portal in the backpack, so make sure thier safe." Chris turned around.
"Don't worrie Grandpa, I'll keep them safe." His Father spoke.
"Good luck son." Then Danny spoke up.
"Make sure you tell them we said hi." Chris chuckled.
"I will." Chris looked up at the portal and took a deep breath before walking through. After Chris walked threough, Helen proceded to shut down the portal before thinking to herself. {I Hope you do well Chris.}
Meanwhile in Sonic's universe, Knuckles The Echidna was on Angel Island gaurding the Master Emerald. Knuckles was...was...doing what ever the hell he does when he's gaurding that damn thing. When he felt a surge of power. He turned around and saw the Master Emerald had a pulsing glow, like a heartbeat.
"It's happening again." He ran off while the Master Emerald continued to pulse. Elsewhere Tails was water the plant left from Cosmo while Sonic was taking a nap after his resent run on the wing of the X-Tornado. Tails was looking at the plant which was started to bud while thinking of Cosmo, he realy missed her but he knew that she was happy. As Tails was putting the watering can away he heard someone that was surely going to cause problems.
"Sonic!" Sonic's eyes shot open as both Sonic and Tails flenched.
"Uh oh. Amy." Tails turned to face sonic.
"Whats Amy doing here?" Sonic smilled sheepishly.
"I'm guessing she thought we were going on a date again." Seconds after, Amy came walking in looking angry as always.
"Sonic! Why didn't you arrive for our date today?" Sonic started to get nervous and got up.
"Now calm down Amy, I never said we were going on a date. I said maybe we could hand out later. When I said later I ment later this week." Amy just got angerier and summond her Piko-Hammer. Tails was worried that Amy was going to destroy his inventions.
"Amy please not in the lab!" Knuckles arrived at the door panting.
"Guys it's happening again!" Everyone turned to Knuckles including Amy who dropped what was going on. Sonic looked straight at Knuckles.
"What do you mean it's happening again?" Knuckles started to explain.
"I was gaurding the Master Emerald when it started to glow like before Chris visited." Everyone was surprised. Amy turned to Tails.
"Do you think he'll be arrive as a kid again or some other problem?"
"I don't know but we should hurry to Angel island. Everyone hope in the X-Tornado." Tail, Amy, and Knuckles got in while Sonic stayed on the wing. Within minutes the arrived at Angel Island, Tails changed the X-Tornadow into walker mode so he could land near the alter. When the landed they saw a familiar Bat standing near the Master Emerald. Knuckles jump out of the X-Tornado and ran up to her.
"What are you doing here Bat-girl?"
"I was going to try and take this beutifull gem while you were gone, but I noticed it glowing all wierd like this." Sonic, Tails, and Amy came wlaking up while Knuckles explained.
"Thats because Chris will be arriving. The Master Emerald did this the last time Chris came." Rouges eyes widend.
"Wow he works fast." The Master Emerald started to pulse faster until it eventualy glowed continuosly. It glowed so bright that everyone had to look away. Once the light died down everyone looked to see an 18 year old young man, fressed in very familure clothing. The young man looked over himself then spoke.
"It worked!" Sonic stepped forword.
"Chris? Is that you?" The young man smilled.
"Yup. It's me Sonic." Sonic smilled.
"You weren't kidding about being 18 after all." Knuckles spoke next.
"You sure have gotten big."
"And handsome." Everyone turned to Rouge.
"What? I'm not hitting on him, I just think he's gotten handsome is all." Sonic turned back to Chris.
"So how long has it been on your end?" Chris turned to Sonic and answered.
"It's been a month. How about here?" Sonic's eyes widend.
"It's been a month here too." Tails thought to himself. {Thats wierd.} Tails was brought out of thought by Sonic.
"So what are you doing here again anyways?"
"Do you remember that Dr. Kim vickley?" Tails answered.
"Yeah I remember her. She was the one who found out that our worlds were joining together, and we had to come back home to keep time from stopping." Knuckles spoke up next.
"But what does she have to do with this?" Chris got a little serious.
"It turns out she was lieing." Everyone said the same thing at once.
"WHAT!" Chris sontinued to explain.
"Apparently she had some crazy idea that if she sent you all back home then everything would become "peacefull" again." Rouge crossed her arms.
"What a loon." Chris continued.
"Before she was arrested I told her I was going to bring you guys back. She flipped!" Everyone started laughing because chris spoke again.
"I mean, that is if you guys want to come back. Everyone misses you. Rouge, Agent Topaz misses working with you. Amy, Ella misses cooking with you. Tails, grandpa misses inventing with you. Sonic, I miss going on adventures with you. Everyone misses you all." Sonic turned around to his friends.
"What do you think guys?" Everyone looked at each other and smilled. Sonic smilled at Chris and gave him a thumb up.
"When do we pack?"
Back in Chris's worlds Chuck was getting the mail. He waked back in and gave everyone thier mail.
"Tanaka your ninja monthly is here and Ella your cokking monthly is here." Chuck looked threw the mail and saw some fanmail for chrise. He kept looking and saw one without a return address.
"Strange." Nelson walked in and heard his fatther.
"What is it dad?"
"Theres a letter with no return address." Nelson looked as his father showed him.
"Does it say who its for?" Ask Linsey who was reading a scriped for a new movie.
"No it doesn't." Chuck opened the letter and started reading aloud.
Dear Chuck Thorndike
It's about time you figured out that Dr. Vickley was lieing. I was about a few days away from sending you the information myself. I await egerly for Chris to bring the "Sonic Team" back. Just know you have and Chris have a friend watching out.
"Does it say who it's from?" Chuck answred his son.
"No. The only thing left is a little lightning bolt." Chuck grew silent and thought for a moment.
"Well since they said thier a friend I'll leave this for later." Chuck put the letter into his lab coat pocket for later.
"I need to go and expand the portal like Chris said." Nelson fallowed and asked.
"How much is it being expanded." Chuck showed his son the blue-prints. Nelson's eyes practicly popped out of his head.
"THATS HUGE! Whats he bringing back a moon?" Chuck put away the blue-prints and answered.
"I honestly don't know. Chris said it was a surprise but he said the portal needed to be expanded. I'll be back later." Once Tanaka closed te door behind Chuck, Nelson asked Tanaka.
"What is my son up to Tanaka?"
"I do not know sir, but what ever it is it's big."
Back on Sonic's world everyone was helping build a huge portal outside, even Amy, Rouge, and Cream were helping. Chis was connecting wires with Tails while catching up.
"So what did I miss while I was gone?"
"You missed alot. First eggman was over powered by one of his own creation and threatend to destroy the world possing as Eggman. The robot just wnated to beat Sonic. Apperently Rouge found out that Eggman found Shadow and was making robotic clones of him."
"Shadows Alive! Does he remember anything?"
"Just everything since the last time he came back. He is slowly getting visions from his past though."
"Wow. what else happend?"
"We had an adventure with someone from another demension. She was a cat named Blaze, in her universe she is a Princees and had her own Eggman problem named Eggman Nega."
"Oh Great, 2 Eggmen." Tails laughed before continuing a set of Emeralds just like the Chaos emeralds."
"Thats amazing!"
"Thier called the Sol Emeralds. Thier power is almost identical to the Chaos Emeralds. She was cold and wanted to do things herself. She's the gaurdian of the Sol Emeralds and thought she needed to do things alone. But thanks to Sonic and Cream she opened up, she became friends with us. Our worlds were merging together because of both sets of Emeralds. They werent ment to be in the same universe. Thankfully Sonic and Blaze used the power from both Emeralds to stop the Eggmen.
"What happend after that?
"We had to enter a competition against a group of thieves called the Babylon Rouges for the Chaos Emeralds. Theres three of them, Jet The Hawk thier leader, Wave The Swallow the Mechanic, and Storm The Albatross thier muscle. They were tricked by Eggman to get the treasure of a place of Babylon Garden. It's was a flooting Island like Angel Island. You know what the treasure was?" Chris desided to be a wiseguy.
"Friendship?" They both started laughing and Tails said.
"No. A flying Carpet."
"A WHAT?" Chris was beyond confused.
"It's made like a type of hover board called and extream gear. We had to race on them for the competition." Once both Chris and Tails were done with the wiering, went to take a break.
"And what happend after that?"
"Me and Sonic ended up in Blaze's world and had to gather both sets of Emeralds again while stoping a robot Pirate named Captain Whiskers. He was after somthing called the Jeweled Scepter. Apparently Captain Whiskers was build by both Eggmen who teamed up again to get the Scepter. Sonic and Blaze bet them with the help of our new friend Merine the Racoon."
"How did you guys get back."
"I made a Machine to bring us back using power from both sets of Emeralds. we ended up on boats the intire time." Both started laughing.
"Poor Sonic."
"Hay! It's not funny. It was everywere." Sonic shuddered at the thought causing Chris and Tails to laugh even harder. After calming down Chris spoke.
"So what happened after that?" Sonic took a turn,
"Well after that we had an adventure with a group calle-"
"Tolled him already."
"Oh... Well we met the Babylon Rouges again and we were fighting over five rings that were called the Ark of the Cosmos. Apperently they powered Babylon Garden to move using a Black Hole."
"A Black Hole! Just who are they anyway?" Tails answered.
"The Babylon rouges are an ancient group of thieves. Jet, Wave, and Storm are the decendents of them. It Turns out the Babylon rouges were actualy Aliens, and Babylon Garden was thier spaceship." Chris jumped out of his seat.
"Aliens! Were are they now?" Sonic shrugged.
"The same thing they always do." Tails uneasily spoke.
"So what happened after that?"
"Sonic got sucked into two books. The Arabian night and The Sword in the stone. Both books had added stories called "Sonic and the Secret Rings" and "Sonic and the Black Night." He even brought back a Gauntlet from the last one.
"Wow." Knuckles soon started yelling at them.
"Hay get off your lazy butts and help us out were the only ones doing any work here!" They all got up and went back to building the portal. Rouge and Tails were flying to lift a large part, once it was in place Rouge heard a familare voice.
"so this is were you've been." Rouge looked and saw Shadow sitting in part of the portal. Rouge smirked.
"Missed me did you?"
"Just what is going on here anyway?" Rouge pointed down at Chris putting parts together. Shadow look and his eyes widend in surprise.
"Is that...Chris?" Rouge chuckled.
"Yup. He alwayd said he was 18." Shadow smilled and chuckled himself.
"So what is it your building." Tails spoke after attching the part him and Rouge flew up.
"It's a portal that will lead to Chrise's universe. Were all going back, are you comming."
"What could I possibly gain from going to his universe?" Rouge smilled.
"The Space Colony Ark is in his universe." Shadow's eyes widend before images started rushing at him. He gripped his head in pain and dropped to his knee.
"ARGH!" Rouge rushed over to him.
"Shadow! Are you okay." Once the pain stopped he said to words.
"I'm in." Rouge and Tails smilled. Chris was working on the control panel when he heard somone land behind him. He turned and spoke.
"Oh good, Sonic I need you to-" Instead of Sonic he saw Shadow standing there.
"Someone sure has grown."
"Shadow! What are you doing here?"
"I'm hear to help build this portal. What can I do?" Chris smilled and told him While pointing at the upper part of the portal.
"here's a green mother broad shaped like an L, I need you to attach this wire to it and feed the wire down the inside." Shadow nodded before taking the wire and jumping up. Chris looked at the portal, just a little long and it would be done.
3 days later
Chuck was making sure that everything one the portal was working correctly. There was a podium next to the portal on the right. Between the podium and the portal was a big projection screen for people in the distance. There was a huge crowd waiting in front of the portal. Almost every person in Station Square was here. Once Chuck gave the ok the President stepped up the the podium while a voice spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The president, of the United States." Everone applauded before the President spoke.
"My fellow Americans. Today we shall ot only have great heros return to us, but will also link our world to Sonic's using one portal here. And another in thier world. If everything went to plan than Christifer Thorndike will have finished the portal on the other end. Now to explane the portals I presend Chuck Thorndike." Everyone applauded while Chuck took the stand.
"Thank you. Now the way these portals will work will be similare to a pair of walky talkies. They will send and recive signals to each other. Once the portals are completely connected then they will act like a window to each world. When you step threw it will by just like walking threw a regulare archway. Once I activate the portal it shood start searching for the signal and instantly start connecting." Chuck made his way over to the control panal while the President spoke.
"Lets all count down to the connection of two world. 10!" Everyone started counting down with the numbers on the projection screen while chuck got ready to push the last button.
"9!"
"8!"
"7!"
"6!"
"5!"
"4!"
"3!
"2!"
"1!"
"Activating the portal now!" Chuck activated the portal and it looked like it was working. Everyone saw a poertal fill the giant arch. Everyone was dead silent waiting for somthing to come through. Soon electricy started to jump around the arch. after that a giant blue spike come through the portal. Everyone gasped. More of the spike through with wings attached and Palm trees. It was a giant space ship, it was huge. When the ship was haveway through seven different colored lights shot out of the portal and spread out in the distance. Once the ship was all the way out it turned left and landed behind the podium with the front pointing towords everyone. After a few minutes a ramp lowerd from the ship and 8 figures walked down. The projection screen showed who they were and peolpe started cheering instantly. It was Sonic and his friends. Everyone could seem Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge, Shadow, and Chris.
"Tails!" Tails looked and saw his friend.
"Chuck!" Tails ran over to his old friend.
"Amy! Cream!" They both looked over and saw thier old friend.
"Ella!" They both ran over and hugged each other.
"Kuckles!" Knuckles looked over and saw and old freinds of his.
"Hawk!" Knuckles ran over to his old friend.
"Rouge!" Rouge looked and saw her old friend and partner.
"Topaz!" Rouge ran over and they hugged each other.
Soon another ship practicly shot through the partol whle a maniacle laughter was heard. Sonic laughed.
"I knew Egghead would fallow." Sonic walked over to the President.
"Nice to see you agin Mr. President." The president smiled while Chris walked over.
"It's nice to see you again Sonic." The president looked up at Chris.
"Chris you've done an excellent job. Huh?" The president saw Shadow walking over.
"Whos this?" Chris introduced.
"Mister President, this is Shadow The Hedgehog."
"Your Shadow? The Ultimate Liform?" The president smilled and said.
"Well Shadow, Chris told me about your memerie lose. I'm she the files we have can answered your questions." Shadow nodded.
"Good." Everyone was happy that Sonic and his friends were back. However one young man stood calm smilling before turning around and leaving. He chuckled to himslef before and spoke to himself.
"Welcome back, Sonic Team."
