The group of five teenagers left, leaving the group of five animals at the factory. They all sat there, not even twiddling their thumbs. Amy had her hammer out, looking at it and polishing it. Knuckles was on his back sleeping. Tails was looking at the super computer, Shadow and Sonic were in a group.
"Hey shadow…" Sonic smiled, "Wanna play I spy?" He asked smiling.
The black hedgehog sighed, "Fine…" as much as he hated the game there was literally nothing else to do. They weren't allowed to touch the super computer except for tails.
"OK… I spy… umm…. Something red and white." Sonic smiled.
"Hmm… oh I don't know.. how about your shoes?" He said, expecting that to be the answer.
"Nope!" He smiled.
Shadow opened his eyes wider, surprised. "um.. Amy's dress?" He asked, a bit more intrigued.
"Nope!" Sonic gave a big smile. "Give up?"
Shadow nodded.
"YOUR shoes!" He smiled.
His eyes drooped again, "of… course…" Shadow sighed, "I'm warning you blue boy… if you get on my nerves I won't be responsible for what happens to you…"
Sonic frowned, "Well then…" Sonic crawled over to knuckles, "Hey knuckles… wanna hear a REAALLY funny joke?"
Knuckles awoke, seeing the blue hedgehog in front of him, He yawned. "Not now sonic… I'm trying to sleep… and before then I was thinking about the master emerald… it's back in our dimension and Robotnik could—"
"Knock Knock!" Sonic began, cutting him off.
Knuckles sighed, "Uggh… fine… Who's there?" He sat up and looked at the blue hedgehog.
Sonic snickered with a big smile on his face. "Meee!" the smile grew bigger.
Knuckles stared at him. A punch was thrown into Sonic's face that then slid across the floor.
"Hey!" sonic jumped up, a bruise on his face. "what was that for?" Sonic shouted.
"Whatever do you mean sonic?" Knuckles asked playing innocent.
"Don't play dumb with me! You punched me in the face!" He accused.
"I never hit you…" Knuckles yawned, closing his eyes.
"Wh- What? Tails! Didn't knuckles punch me in the face?" He asked the yellow fox.
"Huh? What? Oh sorry sonic I wasn't paying attention, I'm too busy checking out this super computer… it's amazing!" Said the yellow fox, studying the machine.
Sonic's jaw opened in amazement. "D-Did anyone see him do it?" He asked.
"Nope" Shadow said.
"Nu-uh." Amy said, not taking her eyes off her hammer.
"Sorry." Tails was too busy looking at the super computer.
"Wh…Wha?" Sonic groaned and looked angrily at knuckles. He took two fingers and pointed them to his own eyes, then to knuckles, signaling an "I'm watching you". Sonic sat on the floor and pouted. "I wonder what those other guys are doing…"
Ulrich sat in class, his elbow on the desk and his eyes on his paper, a test was sitting in front of him. It happened to be one he didn't study for. Jeremy sat next to him, his pencil racing on the paper.
Hey, Hey Jeremy… Can you help me out with number five? He whispered as quietly as he could.
Sorry Ulrich, I can't help you. Just do your best, you did study right? Jeremy's eyes moved to the left, his eyes on Ulrich's paper, which was blank. Then to Ulrich.
Ulrich shook his head no.
Oh… well sorry I can't help. We'll get caught—
"Jeremy Belpois! Ulrich Stern!" The teacher shouted.
Ulrich and Jeremy Jumped up. "Y-Yes?" They answered in unison.
"Are you two cheating? Telling each other answers?" He said with an angry look in his eyes.
"N-No sir." They said with their heads down.
"If I catch you both talking again I'll be forced to give you both zeros! Now back in your seat and finish."
"Yes sir!" They said sitting down. Although Jeremy didn't stay sitting for long, he stood up after he was finished and announced he was finished, handing his paper to the teacher and leaving.
Man… Ulrich sighed, I'm so going to bomb this…
An hour passed, all the tests were handed in and it was time for lunch.
Ulrich, Jeremy, Odd and Aelita all had their lunches and were at their usual table, waiting for Yumi and talking about the visitors that currently reside in the factory.
"I don't trust them…" Aelita spoke out, "I don't know why but it just seems like one of XANA's tricks." She continued.
"Aelita, that black one that sort of looks like sonic already explain they weren't, and proved it. Did you see the XANA symbol in their eyes?" Asked Odd.
"No… but… I just… I don't know, I guess because of XANA it's hard for me to trust others… especially since they say they're from another dimension… that's a bit hard to believe after seeing what we've seen." She says.
"She's got a point Jeremy, after everything that's happened XANA can do almost anything. Even create whatever those things are." Ulrich agreed.
"Look, they passed all the tests, No XANA symbol in their eyes, no alteration of voice and they all showed a lot of emotion. Especially that sonic character, He seemed the most lively of the group." Jeremy said passing his food to Odd.
"Oh Jeremy, you really know how to treat someone!" Odd said beginning to chow down.
Yumi walked next to them, sitting next to Ulrich, "Hey everyone. What're we all talking about?" She asked, beginning to eat.
"Whether or not to trust the new visitors." Jeremy said. "Ulrich and Aelita bring up some good points, but even for XANA, if it was his doing this plan is to dragged out. It's been hours, XANA usually gets right to the point. Possesses or creates a person, Knocks out Aelita and virtualize her at the factory." Jeremy said, giving Odd a weird look.
"Yesh, if SHANA wash going to attack he would have done it by now" Odd said in a muffled voice, then swallowing. "Besides they don't seem all that bad. XANA could never pull off that kind of enthusiasm in someone! Ooh bread!" He quickly grabbed Jeremy's piece of bread and began to eat it.
"Well I trust them, so why not give them a chance. If XANA attacks soon why not let'em watch us on Lyoko, they might even want to help us out there for next time." Yumi said putting some food into her mouth, then beginning to chew.
Aelita grunted, "I don't see how you can trust them!" She said to Yumi, She slid her food over to Odd and stood up, "I have to go to the bathroom… see you in class Yumi." She said walking off.
Odd and Ulrich watched her leave, then looked at each other. Odd shrugged his shoulders and began to eat Aelita's food.
"Odd… You really have no stomach." Jeremy said standing up.
Aelita began to walk to her room, trying to think of why she couldn't trust the newly arrived five. She was so deep in thought she walked passed Jim without him knowing.
"H-Hey! Aelita!" He shouted, "Aelita stones! Hey get back here!" He shouted as she turned the corner.
Jim was about to start running when a nearby electrical socket began producing a gray like smoke. "What the…" He walked closer to it, "What's going on here…" He bent down towards it when it suddenly grabbed him. "Ahh! Hey what's going on—AAAH!" He shouted and flash grey. He stood up, a growl in his voice. He began to head towards Aelita's room.
She sat on her bed, holding her knee's still trying to think.
There was a Knock at the door.
"Come in…" She said in a sad tone.
The door opened and XANAfied Jim walked in, "Hello Aelita, why did you run into your room? That is not permitted during school hours." He said in a modified voice of Jim's, Aelita was so deep in thought she just heard Jims.
"Sorry Jim… I've just been a bit depressed…" She sighed.
"Well there's a way we can fix that…" He said walking over, "Just close your eyes and relax." He said.
Aelita did as he said, she closed her eyes, when suddenly she felt a sharp pain on her neck and passed out.
Ulrich, Yumi and Odd, sat at the table. Ulrich and Yumi stared at Odd, who was swallowing food so fast it looked like he wasn't even chewing it.
Jeremy ran back to the table, panting and looked panicked. "Guys! A tower's been activated and I can't find Aelita! She said she was going to the bathroom but I waited for ten minutes and she didn't come out! I peaked in for a moment but she wasn't there! I don't know where she is!" He said, almost shouting.
Everyone stared for a moment, and everyone was quiet. When he hear someone shout, "FREAK!"
Jeremy rolled his eyes and sat down. "I think we all should split of and look for her!" He said.
They all agreed, Odd gulped down his drink and they all stood up, "If anyone finds her call everyone on your mobile. If five minutes go by and none of us find her then it's safe to say XANA's already virtualized her." Jeremy said.
They scattered from the lunch room and began to look around.
Back at the Factory…
Tails was checking out the wiring on the super computer when the alarm for the super scan went off. Tails jumped at the sound and immediately looked at the screen.
"Tails? What did you do?" Knuckles asked sitting up.
"N-Nothing! I didn't do anything!" He said, reading the text. "It seems something called… a tower has been activated… Sonic maybe you should head up and see what's going on, see if anyone needs your help." Tails suggested.
Sonic jumped on his feet, "FINALLY something to do! If I don't come back… Tell my momma… I love her!" He joked, they all rolled their eyes.
Sonic jumped onto the ladder and began to climb up. He ran through the sewers and up the manhole. Looking around. "hmm… nothing out of the ordinary…" He walked around a bit in the forest when he noticed Jim holding Aelita, who hadn't noticed him yet. "Hmm… now that's a bit odd…" Said the hedgehog as he walked towards him.
XANAified Jim looked around, when suddenly a rock hit his head.
"Hey there big guy! Why don't you put the little girl down and fight like a man?" The hedgehog smirked, confident that the human would be no match for him.
XANA Jim raised an eyebrow, he had no idea what this creature was, but decided it was a minor threat and tried to shock him.
Sonic jumped out of the way and the bolt hit the tree, leaving a mark. "Wow! That was unexpected!" Sonic looked surprised. "Looks like this'll be more of a challenge than I thought!" He smiled, cracking his fingers. "heh…"
XANA Jim growled, dropping Aelita and lunged at the hedgehog at amazing speeds.
Sonic was caught off guard and was tackled to the ground, but recovered as he rolled on his back and pushed XANA Jim into a tree with his feet. He ran towards Aelita, shaking her a bit. "Hey, Hey Aelita! Wake up!" He said shaking her. "Wake u—AAH!" He was tackled again and hit a tree. "Ow…"
He was turned around and punched in the stomach, He gagged and was soon uppercutted in the chin.
"RRGH!" He hit Jim in the stomach and twice in the face, jumped up and drop kicked him away. "jeez! This guy is ruthless!" He said wiping a bit of blood from his mouth.
Aelita's eyes fluttered and slowly opened, she sat up rubbing her neck seeing the blue hedgehog. "S-Sonic?" She asked. "What… what's happening?"
"Hmm? Oh hey Aelita! Listen I saw this guy carrying you so I figured that can't be a good thing, soo- AAH!" A punched landed on his cheek and he spun around and fell on his stomach, next to Aelita. "Listen, if I were you I'd run, for the moment I'm just stalling for time." He smiled, "I'm guessing you need to get to the factory soo… yeah…" His feet were suddenly grabbed, "I'd find your friends and get there- FAAST!" He was spun and thrown into a tree, his back hitting the trunk. "OOOOH KAAAYYY… that one kinda hurt…" He said sliding down.
Jim growled, running up and throwing a punch. Sonic rolled and the punch hit the tree, breaking it in two.
"Jeez! What a powerhouse!" Sonic grabbed him with his legs and began to spin on his head, twisting faster and faster until finally letting him go and launching him away from Aelita. "Hello, I think you should run now." He said smiling.
"O-Oh… ok.. um… thanks…" She said nervously. She started running towards the manhole and climbed down. He's… helping me… but… I guess he really is from another dimension. I can't believe I judged him and his friends so quickly. She thought. Aelita grabbed her mobile from her pocket and dialed Jeremy's number.
"Jeremy!" She shouted.
"Aelita? Aelita where are you! We've been looking everywhere!" He said relieved.
"I'm in the sewers now, Jim was possessed by XANA and attacked me, but…" She paused, grabbing her scooter and waiting a moment.
"But what? Make this quick, I've got to call Yumi and Ulrich." He said.
"Well… You were right, all of you. Sonic saved me and is fighting Jim right now." She said, "Sorry I got so mad at you all." She sighed, riding on her scooter.
"It's ok Aelita, but we'll have to worry about apologies later. call Odd and tell him to get to the factory."
"Ok." She said, hanging up and dialing odd's number.
Back with Jim and Sonic.
No one had noticed anything until Jim came flying through the air.
"Hey! What's that up in the sky?" Someone shouted.
"It looks like a rock! And… it's getting closer!" Another person shouted. They gasped and looked around. "Look out!" He shouted, everyone scattered as Jim hit the ground with a loud thud, also cracking it a bit.
He stood up, dusting off some dirt, growling.
"J-Jim, are you ok?" Someone asked.
Jim turned around and roared, shooting a bolt of lightning at them. But the strike missed as the person was grabbed by… well… you know who.
"Hey, picking on someone who can't defend themselves against you isn't the most honorable thing to do." He said standing tall. "Why not pick a fight with someone who can easily beat you into the ground." He smirked as others watched and whispered
What is that? What's happened to Jim? Why are they fighting? How did Jim shoot lightning out of his hands? Why's it blue? Why's it wearing shoes? Is it an animal?
The questions continued but both of them ignored it, just as they were about to fight a hand held Sonic's shoulder back. He turned to see Shadow, with a small grin on his face.
"Hey shad's! Nice to see you at the party!" Said Sonic, smiling at his friend.
"One: I told you never to call me that. Two: I wanted a bit of action myself… you head back to the factory while I deal with him myself." Shadow stepped forward as sonic stepped back.
"Gotcha buddy, have fun!" Sonic said saluting the black hedgehog and running off into the forest.
"This is going to be fun…" Shadow smirked, XANA Jim clenched his fist.
Odd, Ulrich, Yumi and Jeremy were all in the sewers. Ulrich, Odd and Yumi all on their skateboards while Jeremy was on his scooter.
"Aelita's going to meet us there!" Jeremy said, "The activated tower is in the desert sector so that's where you're headed!" Jeremy said as they climbed up the ladder.
The ran to the ropes that hung from the ceiling, jumping on them and sliding down. They ran inside the elevator and pressed the button to go down, the door closed and they began their descent.
The elevator opened up and Tails was reading Jeremy's book on virtualization and what not, Aelita was standing next to the super computer "Hey Jeremy this is a lot of stuff you have down here!" He said not taking his eyes off it.
"Oh… thanks tails, I didn't think anyone would ever read that. OK so there's no time to waste you four get to the scanners and I'll start up the virtualization process." Jeremy said.
They pressed the button and Aelita quickly ran into the elevator.
The elevator door opened once more and Odd, Ulrich and Yumi ran into the scanners, Aelita waited.
"Scanner, Odd." Jeremy began. "Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Yumi." He began to press the keys, typing as fast as he could. "Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer, Yumi." He said, hitting a few more keys. "Virtualization!" He said pressing the enter key.
All three appeared in the world, landing on one knee. "Hurry up and send Aelita." Ulrich said.
"Already on it Ulrich… Virtualization!" Jeremy said pressing the enter key.
Aelita Appeared above them and fell next to them. "Hey everyone." She smiled.
"Hold on guys, I'm programming your vehicles now." He said.
The three vehicles materialized next to them, the overbike for Ulrich, the overwing for Yumi and Aelita, and the overboard for Odd.
"Sweet! Thanks Jeremy!" Odd said jumping on and taking off.
Ulrich hopped on the overbike as Yumi and Aelita jumped onto the overwing.
"Hey Aelita, what happened to you anyway?" Yumi asked.
"Oh… well… I went to my room and sat there to think… but then Jim came in… I was so deep in thought I didn't realize that XANA had taken control of him. So he knocked me out and tried to bring me here…" She sighed. "But then sonic came… he protected me… and I was so quick to judge him…" She sighed.
"Don't worry, let's just deactivate the tower and you can apologize later." She said, Yumi looked ahead and slowed down. It seemed this time XANA was determined to make them fail.
"J-Jeremy." Ulrich began.
"I know Ulrich… I know… it seems XANA sent us an army to deal with…"
In front of them, Tarantula's, Krabs, Bloks, even Roachsters all stood in a row, ready to fight.
"Aelita… you stay back let us handle them." Yumi said.
Aelita nodded jumped off and hid behind a rock.
"Yaahooo!" Odd shouted, charging the monsters, along with Ulrich and Yumi.
Yumi let go of the handles and took out her fans, letting the overwing go as fast as it wanted. She turned around and threw the arrows while a barrage of lasers were headed towards them.
Odd continued to shoot his arrows while Ulrich was blocking as many lasers as he could. Two hits, down goes two krabs! Thanks to Odd!
"Hah! Take that you smell ole krabs!" He laughed triumphantly. He looked at two roachsters coming his way, he aimed his hand and tried to fire at the roachsters but was out of ammo. "U-Uhh… Jeremy!" Odd was hit previously by the krabs making him lose 80 life points, and since roachsters did ten each and there were two… well…
They fired, hit odd and he was devirtualized. "Odd!" Ulrich shouted. He stood on his overbike and drove under a krab, holding his sword up.
He drove quickly and cut the krab in two, he snickered. "that's what you get for blasting my friend." Ulrich smiled, but wasn't paying attention. A mega tank opened up, charged and had already fired by the time he noticed, he didn't have time to dodge or block.
"Aaahh!" He was devirtualized.
"Ulrich no!" she sighed, there were three tarantula's and a mega tank. "Heeyaaah!" She shouted as she threw her fan, as they all fired. The lasers hit her as the fan hit a tarantula, she was devirtualized.
"Oh noo!" Jeremy shouted, "Aelita! Y-You're the only one left! Everyone's been devirtualized!" Jeremy was afraid, there was nothing anyone could do.
Sonic was climbing down the ladder, "Umm… am I late to the party?" He asked. Everyone turned, Jeremy couldn't take his eyes off the screen. "Hey, um… is everything alright?" He asked.
Jeremy turned around and grabbed him, "No! Everyone's been devirtualized and now the monsters are closing in on Aelita!" He sighed, "We're doomed…" Jeremy let go and sulked in his chair.
"Umm… why don't you just send me in?" Sonic asked.
"Wh-what?" He looked startled.
"Listen, sooner or later we'd have to go in anyway, why not now?" Sonic had a nervous smile on his face. "Come on, she's gonna get captured if we don't do something.
"….O…OK! sonic head down to the scanner room, I'll start it up!" Jeremy said turning back to his computer.
"OK, then." He walked into the elevator and pressed the button. It brought him to the scanners and he walked out. "oooh…" He looked at the three, "Hmm… eenie… meanie… miney… mo… catch a scanner… by the… tube… if it shocks you let it go…. Eenie… meanie… miney… MO!" He picked a scanner and stepped in.
Jeremy began pressing keys. "Scanner, sonic." He said, watching Sonic's T pose appear on the screen. "Transfer, Sonic." He continued, getting nervous. "I Hope this works…"
"What do you mean you hope?" Sonic said suddenly paranoid.
"Virtualization!" Jeremy said hitting the enter key.
"Whoooaaaahh!" Sonic shouted as he was being virtualized.
Back with shadow and Jim…
Blows were thrown, fists struck body parts and both seemed evenly matched. XANA had no experience fighting Sonic's gang of pals, he had no idea how to fight them.
"You know you're not too bad." Shadow grinned, "You're no match for me though…" He laughed.
XANA Jim growled and put his hands together, electricity began to surge through his hands and form a ball. He gave a loud shout, and glared at shadow.
He took a step back. "Whoa. That looks like it would hurt." His grin left his face and he readied for the attack.
"Hmm… I didn't think I'd ever have to use this…" Shadow said cracking his knuckles. He opened his palm and it began to glow yellow, he put it around his shoulder and began to speak. "Chaaooosss…" He began.
"Rrrraahh!" XANA Jim shouted, throwing the giant ball of electricity.
Just then shadow clenched his fist, "SPEAR!" He threw the yellow orb and it collided with the electric ball creating an explosion.
Smoke surrounded the blast area, XANA Jim was waiting for it to clear.
Shadow appeared from the smoke and punched Jim in the stomach, Turning around and roundhouse kicking him in the head.
"Nice try, but you have no idea what you're up against." Shadow said confidently, motioning XANA Jim to attack.
XANA Jim growled, and charged him.
Meanwhile in Lyoko…
Sonic's wireframe appeared in the desert sector, then his body. He fell and landed on the ground.
"Ooo…" He stood up and looked around, admiring everything. He looked different then on earth, instead of having just shoes and gloves he had on a red and black jacket that looked like something from a motocross biker. "Nice threads!" He said admiring it.
"Sonic! Stop admiring your clothes and go for Aelita!" Jeremy shouted.
"Oh OK well… what powers do I have?" He asked, still admiring his clothes.
"Well we did this in a rush, so you should have all your abilities like you did here on earth." Jeremy said hitting a few keys.
"Even my supersonic speed?" He said happily.
"Well.. that might have been altered a bit… but you're definitely faster than Ulrich when he's using his super speed.
"Sweet! Alright! Let's do this!" Sonic jumped up, looking for Aelita, when he noticed her pink hair he smiled, curling in a ball as he descended to the ground.
"Sonic? What are you doing?" Jeremy asked, "This is no time to mess around!" He said.
Suddenly he began to spin rapidly in place, dust being picked up and thrown behind him as he spun. "Let's just see if this place can keep up with sonic speed!" Said the blue blur as he suddenly jetted into the direction of Aelita.
The two tarantula's surrounded the pink haired girl, and out came from the middle… the Scyphozoa floated over to Aelita making it's creepy sounds.
"Jeremy! Please help!" Aelita said in a scared tone.
"Don't worry Aelita! Sonic's on his way, and at the rate he's going, he should be there… NOW!"
The blue blur literally flew by the tarantulas and the Scyphozoa, who turned around and watched him.
He skidded to a stop and went into a ball again, revving up and launching himself at them again. Hitting the tarantulas. They flew away and exploded in the air. Sonic skidded to a stop once more and ran up to the Scyphozoa, jumped up and spike kicked it in its bubbly head, causing it to screech and float away. "Get outta here you stupid land squid!" He shouted.
He quickly grabbed Aelita away from the metallic ball that was the mega tank, which he just figured was a metal ball. "You ok?" He asked smiling.
"Y-Yes…" She said looking at him, "This… is the second time today you've saved me" She smiled, "Thank you… and I'm—"
He put his finger on her mouth. "We'll discuss apologies later, why don't you go and deactivate those tower things and I'll cover you here." He smiled.
She nodded and took off. "Thank you!" She shouted running away.
"OK! So where are those nasty monsters at? Come on! Gimme all you got XANA!" Sonic shouted looking left and right. "Huh? Was that it?" He looked around, "That's all? Well that's a big let down…" He sighed.
"Um… sonic, there's a mega tank behind you." Jeremy pointed out.
"Mega tank?" He asked, "What's a mega tank?" He turned around and noticed that the metallic ball had opened, had an eye symbol on it and seemed to be done charging its attack.
"ooohhh… that's a mega tank…" He said pointing at it with a frown.
It blasted him and he was devirtualized instantly, but Aelita ran into the tower and the rings lit up white. She looked up as she began to float, did a simple back flip and landed on her feet. She placed her hand onto the floating screen and it read: "Aelita, Code: L.Y.O.K.O"
The screens fell, "Tower… Deactivate Jeremy." She said.
Jeremy sighed, lying back in his chair.
Sonic's scanner opened and he stepped out, his legs wobbly. "Woow… those scanners really take it out of you…" he sighed. "I feel like I just ran around the world twenty times, nonstop…" He held his head and walked out, and into the elevator.
"Tails, Knuckles, Amy all three of you step into the scanner, I need to scan you so you'll be immune to the return to the past's effect. Sonic, you should go get shadow..." Jeremy said as sonic walked out of the elevator.
"Gotcha buddy." He jumped on the ladder and climbed out, soon climbing out of the manhole that led to the forest.
Shadow watched as XANA Jim fell to the floor, and the spectre flew out of him, then disappeared.
"Hey shadow, head to the scanner room in the factor so you'll be immune to this… return to the past thing." Sonic said tapping his shoulder.
"Fine…" He was about to begin walking but noticed everyone was looking at them, scarred.
"Umm… Well I hope you all enjoyed the show!" Sonic said smiling nervously, "I'd like you to thank this fellow for helping us out with this 'fake' fight! I'd also like you to thank shadow our special effects artist! It was thanks to him that all this looked SOO real!"
Shadow had already left, sonic frowned.
Amy, Tails, and Knuckles all stepped into the scanner.
"Scanner, Amy." Jeremy said pressing keys. "Scanner, Tails. Scanner, Knuckles." Jeremy continued, then pressing the enter key.
The doors opened and they all stepped out. "aah.." Amy fell forward, "I can't even lift my hammer!" She said dragging it across the floor.
"My legs feel weird…" He said stumbling into the wall.
The elevator door opened and shadow stepped out. "Wimps…" Shadow said as he stepped into the scanner.
"Scanner… er… shadow." He said, hitting a few keys. "there, you're all immune to return to the past." Jeremy smiled, he hit a few keys and a countdown appeared on the screen. "Return to the past now!" Jeremy hit the enter button and a white globe consumed everything.
Everything restarted, sonic and the gang were in the factory, much to their dismay. It's not like they hated this world just disappointed they weren't back in theirs.
Aelita walked up to sonic, "Um… Sonic?" She began.
"Hmm? Oh hey Aelita." He smiled, "Can I get that hand shake now?" He asked, smiling.
She looked at his hand and giggled, "Sure, it's a pleasure to meet you. Sonic the hedgehog." She shook his hand with a firm grip he smiled.
"It's nice to meet you to Aelita! I hope we can be great friends!" He smiled as well.
"Me to sonic... Me too." She smiled with him and both began to laugh.
