I don't own Sonic or Sega.
20. Back to the Future
It took Ryko three days for him to start talking normal. He was walking with the aid of a cane. He was at Sadie's house. He was sitting down watching TV when a beam of light engulfed both of them.
Lara-Su's house, 7:30 PM
They appeared in a living room and got flattened by a squirrel and a hedgehog. When they got up, a red Echidna with glasses and violet eyes was staring at them. So were the hedgehog and the squirrel.
"What the hell just happened?" they all said at once. Ryko looked at the squirrel and the hedgehog and realized they looked just like…
"You! Kids!" They jumped up in surprise.
"Who are your parents?"
"King Sonic and Princess Sally." they said shyly. Ryko smiled and turned to the Echidna.
"Considering the fact only a trusted person would take care of these kids, and that you're an Echidna, that must mean that your father is Knuckles and your mother is his girlfriend Julie-Su." said Ryko.
"Yea… they are. What's going on?" she said. Ryko looked at Sadie and her.
"We've just been teleported to the future."
Lara-Su's room, 8:00 PM
This is kinda hard to understand. You're both Ryko and Sadie! It was hard to recognize at first but now…"
"Why are you so excited that we're here?" asked Sadie.
"You guys went missing."
"Well that explains it. They must be-"
"In your time period. Your son, Kyren, has been looking for you guys for a while now. We should get you guys back to King Sonic."
"Thanks. What's your name?"
"Lara-Su."
"Okay. And how long will this trip to the castle-"
"Chaos Control!"
King Sonic's castle, 8:10 PM
They landed right in front of Sally Acorn. She shrieked but when she saw who it was she smiled, but then shrieked again when she saw how old they were.
"You're both 17!"
"Yea. So I heard we were missing. Sally, it's me from when I was, literally, 17." she looked at the cane.
"So you just got done with the-"
"Rumble? Yea. We came from the past, somehow, and we're guessing that your guys are in the past, and we've been switched." Sally could believe every word of it.
"You're son Kyren has been looking for you all over."
"Well, we could use his help. He's like another us!" said Ryko.
"Kyren!" shouted Sally. A dark grey hedgehog emerged into the hall.
"Who is it?" said Kyren.
"It's your mom and dad, but somehow they've been turned back to 17 years of age."
"I'll believe that."
"Can't you see us?" asked Ryko.
"No, I can't." said Kyren, smiling. It took a moment for Ryko to register.
"You're blind." he said softly.
"Yes, I am."
"Then how are you moving around like that… son?" asked Sadie, weirdly.
"He was blind since you two gave birth to him. But, for some reason-"
"My other senses were increased a vast amount. Not just the little bit it does when you go blind, but extraordinarily. I can tell how many people are in the room and I can identify some by their distinctive smell. I'm better off without sight then with it." he said, laughing.
"So it doesn't even matter?" asked Ryko, stunned.
"Nope. I'm a better shot then you, dad, at this age anyway."
"You're 15."
"Yep."
"Damn you, son." Kyren laughed.
"We need to get going. I'm gonna call my girlfriend, Rio. She'd like in on this little situation."
"You got a girlfriend before me? And you're blind? Bucc, stop making him awesome!"
"Do you need help dialing that number?" asked Sadie. Kyren looked directly at her, dialing the number faster than she dials her own.
"Yo, Rio. I have a, erm, predicament. Yea, you'll need to see for yourself. Very funny, that wasn't intended. Come on down."
Rio arrived within minutes. She skydived out of a plane.
"Does she do that all the time?" asked Ryko.
"Yep. She likes to arrive in style. We both wanna be G.U.N agents like you two. "
When Rio landed, Ryko could get a good look at her. She was red with deep blue eyes. Her hair was naturally down so she didn't need a headband, and half of it was resting over her shoulder.
"Damn you, Bucc! Damn you!" he said under his breath.
"I heard that." said Sadie.
She got a good look at Ryko and Sadie.
"What the hell-no,no,no, don't tell me. Where are we going." She asked.
"I believe we're gonna go to Ares' old base. That should give us some sort of clue to why the hell you guys were switched."
"Good thinking."
"I know."
"Cocky."
"Arrogent." said Kyren, smiling. He took out a Ruger P-89 and was loading some bullets in when Ryko noticed what the bullets were.
"Are those-"
"Black Talons." answered Rio.
"Those are-"
"Highly illegal?" asked Kyren, smiling.
"Yes."
"Who cares?" asked Kyren.
"True."
"We might as well go to that base. Kyren, do we have anybody nearby?" asked Rio.
"No, we don't. The base is east. Come on, guys."
"Wait a minute."
"What?" asked Kyren.
"Are you sure you can work that thing?" asked Ryko. Kyren rolled his eyes.
"Rio."
She took 5 cans filled with soda and threw one as hard as she could. Kyren hit it without hesitation. The next one, the next one, the next one. On the final one, she threw it behind Kyren. His ears perked up and he whipped around, hitting it just before it clattered to the ground.
"I will never doubt you again." said Ryko.
"Is anyone else carrying a weapon?" asked Sadie. Rio pulled out a 44. Caliber revolver.
"A revolver?" asked Sadie. Rio was about to open her mouth, but Ryko answered for her.
"I use them all the freakin' time. Revolvers are not only extremely powerful, they never jam. That's something everyone wants in a gun. Unfortunately…" He pointed to Rio.
"They aren't the most accurate guns. They can go off aim very, very fast."
"Exactly."
"Thank you, genius of firearms."
"You're welcome, learner of weapons."
