CHAPTER 4

XxXxXxXx

"Yeah, we're lost." Sonic said, looking around the endless green field.

"Stupid Apple Maps..." GhostKing hit her iPod. "I paid practically a million dollars for this piece of crap! Aaagh!"

"I'll notify the Mathematicians and tell them that $200 is now considered a million dollars." Mephiles sighed. "Can someone make a tree? This sun burns!"

GhostKing's iPod chirped, as though scared its owner would abuse it some more. GhostKing read through a few E-mails, mostly from Sarah. "Hmmm...you guys might want to see this..."

She handed them her iPod, and they read the following:

'Ghostking (the gang too, if they're there):

You haven't come... I'm lucky I have the chance to write you a second time. He has the Doctor imprisoned as well.

We're trapped. WE NEED HELP! For some reason, he hasn't done anything...

We may be pawns in his master plan, which would explain why we aren't dead yet.

We'll stall. We'll try to buy you as much time as we can, but you have to hurry. Have you or Dad found my Mum yet?

Ghostking, I am truly frightened.

-Sarah'

"Wait! There's more!" Silver said.

'Ghostking: Do you remember that one time we went to Mobius together? And we made the tree fort behind Shadow's house? And Evil Fang lives there?

Well, the Doctor and I escaped, but he's close behind us. As far as we know, he can't follow us to the fort.

And Evil Fang is an awesome guard! Hurry, just in case.

Sarah'

"Ok, we know where she is. Finally," Shadow said.

"Let's go!" Mr. K shouted. "She could be in trouble!"

"TO MOBIUS!" GhostKing shouted dramatically.

...ONE TELEPORTATION LATER...

"This is madness. How did we end up here?" Silver asked.

"Madness?! THIS...IS...MOBIUS!" Sonic kicked him over the side of a tiny hill. Silver landed on his butt and glared.

"I don't remember this place so...boring." Mephiles said.

"Yeah, and there were trees too." Shadow sighed.

All around them was pretty much nothing but debris. It looked as though a fire had gone through, burning everything.

"I think this may be Sarah's fort..." GhostKing said in shock.

"She was killed?!" Mr. K cried. "No! We came too late!"

"I don't think so... Her last email was dated a day ago...this looks kinda old here, so I think she's safe."

"In the email...who does she mean by 'the Doctor'?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah, Doctor who?" Sonic chimed in.

"Oh...DUH." GhostKing facepalmed. "Good job, you guys. You figured it out. Come on, I know where she is."

"But...Doctor who?" Silver said, but no one was paying attention to him now.

...ONE TELEPORTATION LATER...

"Where are we?" Mephiles asked.

"Gallifrey." GhostKing said. "She said she's with the Doctor, so this is the only place that makes sense..."

"DOCTOR WHO?! WHO?!" Silver shouted.

"Yes, Silver!" GhostKing said.

"Wait...so this is before the Time War?" Mr. K asked.

"Obviously. The planet's still here..." GhostKing pointed around, ignoring Silver in the background as he blew up from lack of answers.

"What now?"

"We find Sarah." Sonic said.

"Stop where you are!" a voice commanded loudly.

The group turned to see a woman dressed in a black, elegant dress. Two large, black, fake feathered wings sprouted from the back of her garment. She was sort of pale, had blonde hair and evil blue eyes.

"Who're you?" Mephiles asked, giving her an odd look.

"Who am I?" the lady chuckled. "Who...Am I?!"

"Yeah. Who are you?" Sonic asked.

"I am Dark Angel! I rule this planet like I always have!"

"What?" GhostKing blinked. "But...Gallifrey's never...when did you get here?"

"I simply rewrote time." Dark Angel said. "And now...I will have my revenge on you!"

"No! Leave them alone!" Mr. K shouted, stepping into DA's path. "I won't let you harm them!"

"That's cute, Mr. K." DA sneered. "But you can't stop me."

"Yeah. But that will." Silver pointed to the sky.

A large net fell from out of nowhere and entangled the entire group.

"I can't get out! My Author Power won't work!" GhostKing shouted, trying in vain to escape.

"Unhand me this instant!" DA screamed.

The giant net lifted into the sky, carrying the many passengers that were beginning to freak out.

"Did I ever mention I was scared of heights?" Shadow groaned, trying not to look down.

"No. I don't like movement like this..." Sonic turned green. Everyone threatened to push him out of the net.

"OH MAH GAWD THE GROUND'S SO FAR BELOW US! IF WE FALL WE'LL TURN INTO PANCAKES! I DON'T WANNA DIE! BLAZE! I LOVE YOU!" Silver shouted, hyperventilating.

Everyone in the giant net stopped their screamings and gave him an odd look. The only sound was the wind escaping through their prison.

"Calm down, bucko." DA hissed.

XxXxXxXx

It was some time later. Silver had passed out, Shadow was bored, Sonic had thrown up many times, Mephiles was about to go insane from being around morons all day, Mr. K was fretting about Sarah, GhostKing was cursing helicopters, and DA wasn't saying anything.

After what seemed like forever, the net touched down on a small landing pad. A few guards came over and unloaded everyone from the net, ushering them towards a fortress in the near distance. They were lead down a few corridors before coming to a dungeon. Three people were inhabiting it, and they glanced up as the other prisoners were marched in.

"Stay in there until Dark Angel sends for you." said one guard.

"What are you talking about?! I AM Dark Angel! Who do you think you are?!" DA screamed.

The guards left.

"Well, I was beginning to wonder when you'd show," said one of the prisoners.

GhostKing and Mr. K did a double take. "SARAH?!"

"Yep," Sarah grinned as they both squished her in a hug.

"And...Doctor? Is that you?" GhostKing said, staring at one of the two remaining prisoners.

"Allons-y," The Doctor said in slightly saddened tones.

"DOCTOR?! WHO IS THIS FRIGGEN DOCTOR?! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?!" Silver pulled at his quills.

"I'm the Doctor. Last names are too mainstream." The Doctor shrugged, leaving the hedgehog to hit his head against the wall.

"Oh, GhostKing, this is the Master." Sarah motioned to the last prisoner. "He kidnapped me, leading to me sending you messages and such. The Doctor tried to rescue me, and we ended up getting captured by Dark Angel."

"Speaking of which, who the heck are you if you're not Dark Angel?" Sonic said, turning to 'DA'.

'DA' smirked and snapped her fingers. Instantly, she turned from her previous form to another, this one a bit more familiar to the group, as this guy tried to kill them in their previous adventures.

"Envy! What are you doing here?" Shadow hissed.

"The Fullmetal Alchemist FanFiction category had died down over the months. The series had ended a long time ago. I needed a job. I needed people to know my name! I needed glory!" Envy laughed evilly.

Everyone just gave him a strange look.

"I needed something to do, all right? Lust's out somewhere in Final Fantasy...IX ...I think, and as far as I know, Edward went to Yu-Gi-Oh!."

Everyone continued to give him odd looks. Then GhostKing and Sarah made "Oooohh... I get it now" faces and sort of let the matter drop.

"So...can you help us get out of here?" Sarah asked.

"Nope. If you can't break out, no one can. I'm just a shapeshifter." Envy sat in the corner and ignored everyone. So let's forget about him.

"Why did Dark Angel capture us?" Mephiles asked.

"I don't know," the Doctor said. "Maybe we're a threat."

"I kidnapped you in the first place so you'd be safe, Sarah! And then this time traveling moron has to come along...and look what happened!" the Master growled.

"Oh...did I ever mention the Master is my twin brother...?" Sarah said softly.

"WHAAAAT?!" GhostKing screeched. "YOU'RE A FRIGGEN TIME LORD?! Wait... How does that explain your dad? He's not a Time Lord..."

"I'm not her biological father," Mr. K sighed. "We adopted her..."

"It was the only way. A Time Lord infused with Author Power...a dangerous combination." the Doctor said. "I am her real father, and I am very grateful for all that Mr. K has done."

A silence covered the room. "...Who's her mom, then?" Shadow asked.

Sarah sighed. "Take a wild guess. We're sitting in her dungeon right now."

XxXxXxXx

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Or...technically...it's Merry Kwanzaa now...Or Hanukkah... I dunno.

MERRY EVERYTHING AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND NEW YEARS!

Anyway...have a good day!

Hasta la Vista, Readers!
