Authors Note: I know what you are thinking at this point. Why is this story called Universe Collision if they aren't from different Planets? Well your about to find out why this is the title of my story.
Also this Chapter is very dialogue heavy so brace yourself. It was originally going to be two chapters but I decided to make it one, because one chapter would have been too short.
Chapter 19. Revelations..
After a brief Flash our heroes found themselves inside a room. After recovering from the shock of the sudden teleport.
"Where are we?" Sonic said looking around.
Calvin looked around and smiled. "I recognize this place."
"Why do you recognize it?" Jak asked.
"Because the earth potentate, and his tiger has been on our ship before." a voice said.
"Who's there?" Tails asked looking around.
Just then two figures emerged from the shadows, The figures were both similar, as they had a mass of tentacles for legs,had no arms, and one eye. However they were different by the black hats they wore, with one with a crescent moon, and the other with a star.
"Who are these Aliens?" Ratchet asked. "And how do you know them Calvin?"
"These are Galaxoid and Nebular My friends." Calvin said.
Ratchet then turned to Hobbes and whispered. "I guess these are the friends that saved you and Calvin when you first met Ruppert Chill."
Hobbes nodded. "That is correct, now you know why I didn't reveal them to you until now. Also Galaxoid is the one with the star hat, and Nebular is the one with the crescent moon hat."
"Wait, before we can continue with introductions, Can we please get some explanations." Sonic said holding his hand up.
"Certainly." Nebular said. "But first, can you give us the orange weasel?"
"His name is Daxter." Jak said, giving Daxter to the aliens. "What are you going to do to him?"
"We're just going to heal him." Galaxoid said, somehow putting Daxter on a medical bed. "Don't worry he's not dead, he's just mildly injured."
"How do you know that?"
"This medical bed automatically gives the condition of the patient." Galaxoid said before turning to Nebular. "Nebular, you take Daxter to the Doctor Room, I'll take the rest to the common room."
Nebular nodded, and followed the medical bed to the Doctors room.
"The Rest of you follow me."
With nothing better to do, the rest of the heroes followed Galaxoid.
They entered the common room, which had a monitor, a DVD player, with various DVD's strewn about.
Calvin then picked up one of the DVD's
"I see you received the copy of the complete season of firefly."
"Me and Nebular thank you for sending us that series." Galaxoid said. "We have no idea why it was canceled after one season."
"Yeah, I don't get why it was canceled either."
"Ok now that we are together, can you explain why you and that other alien know Calvin?" Jak asked Galaxoid.
"Certainly." Galaxoid said.
Galaxoid took a deep breath and began speaking.
"A few years ago, we were searching the galaxy looking for prime real estate. Europia, and Pluto wouldn't take our offer, so we decided to try the next planet on our list, Earth. There we found the Earth Potentate, and his tiger friend collecting leaves for a project. He managed to give us an offer we could accept, we would give him 50 leaves from our planet in exchange for Earth."
All of our heroes looked at calvin in shock.
"You gave them Earth?" Sonic said. "You gave an alien race that you just met, Earth?"
"Look they didn't do anything bad to it, they just left it as it is." Calvin said.
"During our time on Earth we discovered, a season known as winter, which the earth potentate gave us stockings to keep us warm. Latter he suggested we go to a place called Mexico for vacation." Galaxoid continued with his story.
"Did anyone notice you there?" Ratchet asked. "I mean it looks like you and Nebular would stand out in a place like that."
"Only a few noticed us, but they just went back as if nothing happened." Galaxoid explained before going back to telling his story. "We left just before disaster struck, apparently the earth potentate was captured by a mad scientist who used a machine that uses his imagination to take over Earth. We managed to find the Earth Potentate and his tiger and got him out, with our help he managed to get the mad scientist to reverse the effects of the machine, and the earth potentate allowed us to take the mad scientist to our planet."
"How is the mad scientist you took anyway." Tails asked.
"After a few incidents involving him we put him in a cell." Galaxoid explained. "He was too just too unstable. Continuing the story, After communicating him for a few years, a time came when Calvin had to help us. At one point, Retro, the mad scientist that used Calvin's imagination to take over Earth, took down our transduction barriers and allowed a hostile alien force to invade us, and attempt to steal our resources, we called Calvin, and he along with his friends came to save our planet, and they thwarted the invasion by putting the invading fleet in reverse."
"That's pretty impressive Calvin." Sonic said. "How did you even do that."
"I simply copied a program used by a resturant in which time goes in reverse."
Galaxoid nodded. "That's our history with Calvin and Hobbes. Does that put confidence in trusting us?"
"Well, I guess so." Ratchet said.
Just then Nebular came in and went to Jak.
"Good news. Your friend is going to be fine, he should be up in about an hour." Nebular said.
"Thank you." Jak replied.
"Now can you tell us your story?" Galaxoid asked.
Sonic then told them what had happened so far, beginning from how they met to when they were cornered by Eggman.
"That's pretty interesting. Do you have any questions." Nebular said turning to the heroes.
"How did you even find us anyway?" Calvin asked Nebular.
"Two days ago we received a call from your friend Andy, saying you disappeared. We spent the next day trying to locate you, we eventually picked up your signature and found you escaping that prison, but before we could contact you, you teleported out of there."
"Well we were being chased by a missile that was going to hit us at any second so we didn't have time." Ratchet said.
"I finally located you on that ice planet, but found you surrounded by that Eggman fellow and his robots, so we teleported you out of there."
"But how did you even know where we were." Sonic asked.
"We use a tracker that allows us to know where the earth potentate is." Galaxoid answered
"COOL." Calvin said.
"Indeed, it was very easy to find the universe you were in." Nebular said.
"Wait back up, I think you mean Planet." Jak said.
"No, you were traveling between universes." Galaxoid said shaking his head. "You may not have known this until now, but you are all from different universes."
"Can you elaborate on that please?" Hobbes asked.
"Those vortex's you went into before you all met each other, those were universe portals, they allow you to travel to different universes." Galaxoid explained. "Through why the portals all went to Sonic's universe only is a curious thought."
"How do you know all of this?" Calvin asked.
"Since the invasion, we have studied new forms of transportation, one of them is inter-universal travel. Something your kind has yet to know Earth potentate, is that that there isn't just one universe, there are multiple ones, just waiting to be explored."
"Ok i get that but it doesn't explain why the MTM was able to teleport to universes, it exceeds its teleportation range."
"Calvin, can you place the MTM on the table please?" Galaxoid asked politely.
Calvin took the MTM out and placed it on the table.
"Now can you show me the teleportation range of the MTM."
Calvin pressed a few buttons, and a map came out showing their current location, and the range of the teleport.
"See, traveling to a universe exceeds its range."
"Now as I recall from the story Sonic told me, you have at least three chaos emeralds right now, Can you put one on the MTM?"
Calvin digged through his hypercube and grabbed on of the three chaos emeralds they had and placed it on the MTM.
Instantly the map expanded, revealing dot's that were like little stars.
"Those dots you see represent a universe, you see when you placed the chaos emerald on the MTM it expanded it's teleportation range greatly." Galaxoid explained.
"So that explains why I could teleport longer distances, and still have battery power." The MTM said.
"I guess it does." Calvin said.
"So, now that we have figured out the answers to a few mysteries, I have a few questions." Hobbes said.
"What are those?" Nebular said.
"Did you send us the package that helped us get out of the prison?"
"No we did not send that package." Galaxoid said. "For the most part, we have no idea who sent you that package."
"I guess that mystery is going to have to be solved another time." Hobbes said sighing as he wrote on is unanswered question list, except now, it had who sent those robots question crossed out, and a maybe next to the tuna question.
"There are just so many mysteries, right now." Sonic said. "Who brought us together? Who sent us that package? What is Eggman trying to awaken?"
"Maybe, I can have an answer to that last question." Nebular said.
"Really what's that answer."
"Judging by the audio recording Jak gave me, and the fact that Eggman fellow is looking for those emeralds, he may be trying to awaken the universe eater."
"The Universe Eater?"
"It's a legend that says a thousand years ago, There was an ancient evil, that downright destroyed universe's by eating them, For hundreds of years, it stood unopposed, until a group of nine used a power similar to those chaos emeralds, and managed to seal it inside a prison."
"Why does it always seem like whenever there's an ancient evil, whoever defeats it doesn't kill it it instead imprisons it." Calvin muttered.
"I have no idea either." Nebular said. "But if the connections to your adventure, and the legend, I fear that Eggman may be trying to reawaken it. If he does, we are all doomed."
Everyone stared in silence as they thought about the legend.
"Eggman has done some crazy plans during the time I have fought him." Sonic said. "But awakening something that could destroy everything, it's not crazy it's insane."
"Agreed." Calvin said. "It's almost as insane as Sherman trying to outdo one of my inventions"
"We're going to have to stop him. If Eggman releases that creature it could be the end of everything." Sonic said.
Daxter slowly woke up.
The last thing he remembered was diving in front of the shot Erol fired, and everything went dark.
Now he was inside a futuristic looking hospital room, and was lying on a bed.
"Where am I?" he muttered.
"You're in Galaxoid and Nebulars ship." a voice said.
Daxter turned and saw that Hobbes was next to him, as well as Jak.
"What happened? The last thing I remembered was diving in front of Jak to protect him from Erol and now I am lying in this bed. and who is Galaxoid and.."
Jak then stepped forward. "Ok Daxter this is going to sound a little complicated so listen carefully."
He then told Daxter what had happened, and what they had found out about where they were actually from.
Daxter thought about it for a moment after hearing this.
"Wow I missed out on a lot."
"Yes you did." Hobbes said.
"So let me sum up the situation so far, Eggman now has four of the chaos emeralds, we got rescued by aliens that know Calvin, we're actually from different universes, and Eggman is going to use the emeralds to awaken some monster."
"I think that's about right." Jak said.
Daxter nodded. "Well i think i'm ready to move again."
"Careful, Daxter." Jak said. "Nebular said you should probably rest for a few more minutes."
"Ah what do you know. I'm already fit." Daxter said walking across the bed.
Then he fell down on the edge of the bed.
Jak and Hobbes looked at the once again unconscious body of Daxter.
"I'll put him back on the bed." Hobbes said.
Jak nodded. "Let me know when he's fully recovered."
After Daxter fully recovered the heroes gathered around to discuss their situation.
"What can we do?" Calvin said. "If we're going to get the rest of the emeralds from Eggman were going to have to plan."
"Well obviously were not going to just waltz up to Eggman and ask him for the emeralds." Ratchet said.
"We're also not going to attack with only nine of us." Sonic said. "Because he's most likely going to expect us."
"Well it look's like if were going to get Eggman, we're going to need an army." Jak said. "And I have no idea where we're going to get one."
Just then Calvin got an idea. "I think I can get an army."
"How, and Where are you going to get one?" Amy said.
"I believe Annkor owes us for saving them, maybe we can get an army from them."
"But Calvin, how do you know if they have an army." Hobbes said. "The last time I checked, they had no military of any type."
"Well maybe they made one since the last time we visited them. Look Hobbes were running on limited options so this may be our best chance."
Hobbes thought about it. "I guess that is our best option right now, it's better than just running in without a plan."
Calvin smiled. "I'll tell Galaxoid and Nebular to set course to their home planet."
"No need, Earth Potentate." Galaxoid said as he and Nebular emerged from the shadows again. "We're on our way now."
"How do you keep finding those dark spots to emerge from?" Ratchet asked.
"We haven't replaced the lighting in cycles." Galaxoid said.
"We should really tell them to replace the lighting when we land on anakor." Nebular said.
Galaxoid and Nebular then went to the cockpit of their ship.
Then a voice began booming from the speakers.
"Beginning lightspeed in 5..4..3..2..1."
The heroes held on tight, and on the last number, the ship went into lightspeed.
A few minutes later, Galaxoid and Nebular's ship emerged from lightspeed over Anakor.
"We're here." Galaxoid said.
The heroes had been knocked back by the lightspeed, but were uninjured.
"Remind us when you go to lightspeed next time." Calvin muttered.
After the heroes got up, they ran over to the window to see the planet.
It had green land with brown mountain ranges, and they could tell where the cities were, with some of the lights on as if it was night.
Then Galaxoid and Nebular went to their radio.
"Control tower, this is Galaxoid and Nebular, we have the earth potentate, as well as his friends, requesting clearance."
"Clearance accepted." Control said. "You may now pass the transduction barriers."
With that the ship went down to the planet, and eventually the ship landed on jet landing.
Nebular then pressed a button that opened the ship's door.
Everyone then exited the ship to marvel at the sights of Annkor.
"So how has your planet been since we saved you from the invasion?" Calvin asked.
"Life has gotten back on track, and we've improved our defenses, we now monitor communications and if there is something that could possibly disable the barriers." Galaxoid explained. "Plus we have been training a defense force in case another invasion happens"
"That gives me better hope for having an army." Hobbes said.
"Let's not forget, we're going to have to talk your leader if were going to get the army." Jak said.
"Certainly, We'll lead you to our leaders place." Nebular said.
The aliens then began to lead them to a large mansion, as they were walking to the mansion they saw a aliens that were similar to galaxoid and nebular but were in different sizes and clothing. After a few minutes they managed to get to the mansion.
Inside was a pair of seats, and an seemingly bored alien that was behind a desk. In other words it was a waiting room.
They approached the alien behind the desk, who lazily looked up at them.
"How may I help you?" he said in a bored voice.
"We would like to see King Stor." Nebular said. "It's vitally important."
"I'm sorry but the King isn't taking any meetings today, I can arrange a reservation for you, I'll call you when he is ready to meet you."
"No, we don't have time, like I said it's vitally important."
"I told you he's not having any meeting's today."
Finally Galaxoid played his trump card. "We have the Earth Potentate with us."
The alien's bored expression suddenly turned shocked, and after a few seconds of silence he pressed a button that revealed a card. "Use this card when you're in the elevator thats to you're left, it should take you to the King Stor's room."
Calvin grabbed the card. "Thank you." he said as he put it in his pocket.
Once they all got in the elevator, which was big enough to fit all of them, Calvin swiped the card, and the elevator began to go up to the kings floor.
After a few minutes they finally arrived at at their floor.
The only contents of the room were a door, and a alien that was next to the door.
The alien guard looked up, and noticed our heroes.
"We need to talk to King Stor." Calvin said. "It's important."
"I'll go talk to the king to see if he'll let you in." The guard said before opening the door and entering it.
After about a minute the guard came back. "He would like to see a few of you."
He then pointed at, Calvin, Hobbes, Sonic, Jak, Ratchet, Galaxoid, and Nebular.
"Hey what about us?" Tails asked.
"The king said he would like to see you too, but at the moment he's only taking these seven." The Guard explained. "I apologize for the inconvenience."
"It's ok." Clank said. "We can just find ways to entertain ourselves while we wait."
The guard nodded before turning to the group going in. "You may go in."
So Calvin, Sonic, Hobbes, Ratchet, Jak, Galaxoid and Nebular entered the king's room.
The throne room was giant, with pillars across the sides with strange patterns on them. On the sides there were paintings that they couldn't identify at first.
"The pictures you are looking at are the history of our planet." Nebular explained as they walked through the room. "Whenever an important event happens we make a painting depecting that event."
Just then Sonic spotted a particular painting. "Calvin Look."
Our heroes stopped to look at the painting.
It depicted a variety of ships firing at a city that was in ruins, with Calvin, Hobbes, Galaxoid, Nebular, along with a few others they didn't know grouped up in the center, with Calvin holding the MTM up high with the tip glowing green.
They stared at it for a few minutes before a voice spoke.
"That painting depicts the Earth Potentate and his friends saving our planet from invasion."
They turned around and saw King Stor. He was about the same as Galaxoid and Nebular, except he was taller.
Stor then turned to Calvin. "So, after a few years we have met again, and you seem to have brung some new friends, Can you introduce them for me?"
Calvin then introduced them. "These are some of my new friends I met, Sonic, Jak, and Ratchet. we have a others but they're back in the other room."
Stor nodded. "I understand, and i look forward to meeting them, however Can you tell me the story on how you met each other."
Sonic explained what happened, with the rest adding in what he missed.
After hearing their tale, King Stor nodded. "We have heard of this Eggman, over the last few hours we have spotted ships scouting around our planet, and managed to receive some messages, their mostly reports, and they don't seem to plan on attacking us."
"They're just biding their time." Sonic said. "Eggman already has four of the emeralds, and he's planning the awaken this creature called the universe eater, but he needs the remaining three which we have, in order to awaken it."
"And in order to stop it, we're going to have to steal the emeralds back." Calvin said."We came here today to ask you a favor, we need you to give us an army to battle Eggman."
Stor turned his head curiously. "An Army?"
"Galaxoid told us that you had formed a military force since I and Hobbes saved you from the Plantonians. Can you spare one for us?"
Stor through about it for a moment before replying. "I'm Sorry we can't."
Calvin frowned. "But why?"
"We just formed the Anakor Defense Force a cycle ago, and we have so far used it for guarding this planet, and planets allied with us. We simply haven't trained them well enough yet to a well to fight a force offensively."
"Well it was worth a try." Hobbes said. "Maybe we can, contact one of their allied planet's and ask them for an army."
"I guess it's worth another shot." Ratchet said.
Just then a alien came rushing into the throne room carrying a tablet like device. "King Stor, King Stor! I just intercepted a transmission that you need to hear."
"What is it?"
"See for yourself."
Everyone gathered around the device to see what the transmission was.
After a few seconds of static a familiar face appeared.
Eggman.
"Greetings everyone, I am Doctor Eggman, right now I am broadcasting this to every universe. I have just found the prison of a creature that can destroy your universe in seconds, if you want to survive you must bow down to me, If not I will wipe you all from existence. And People of Anakor, I am aware that you have the heroes, as well as the chaos emerald, Surrender them and you shall be spared."
With that the transmission ended.
"What do you suggest we do?" The Alien asked.
King Stor looked at the heroes, then looked at the tablet that played the message.
Finnaly he spoke. "We will not bow down to them, in fact we are going to take the fight to them."
He then turned to the heroes. "I can give you an army, we will fight this threat even if it costs us our planet."
Calvin nodded. "Thank you. but how are Galaxoid and Nebular's ship going to fight Eggman's army?"
Ratchet then spoke up. "I think I can make a few modifications to the ship so it's battle capable."
Calvin nodded.
After running out of the throne room, they found Tail's using the MTM.
"Sonic, you know that message from Eggman you got when you were in there?"
"Yes." Sonic said. "What did you know about it?"
"Well, the MTM also intercepted the message and traced it to it's source."
"Really." Calvin said. "Show us."
"Ok." The MTM said.
The MTM created a holographic representation of a sphere, but with something that looked like it was modeled to look like Eggman's face, complete with his moustache.
"WHAT?" Sonic said. "I thought I destroyed that thing a long time ago."
"Wait what do you mean a long time ago, and what is that thing?" Jak asked.
"That is the Death Egg, One of Eggman's space stations that I destroyed a long time ago."
"Death Egg, Really?" Calvin asked. "Was the Doom Egg already taken?"
"It doesn't matter can you locate it?"
"Yes I managed to trace the exact coordinates of the Death Egg, It's located somewhere between Sonic's Universe, and Calvin's Universe." The MTM explained. "It only took me half a second to do it."
"I think it's probably safe to say which universes are going first to go if Eggman wakes up the universe eater." Hobbes said.
"We're going to have to stop him, and if were going to do that, we're going to have to work on it now." Jak said.
Everyone nodded, then they went down the elevator.
After another trip down the elevator, they rushed out of the building, Calvin also gave the card back to the client.
"Thank you, come back another time." He said in his usual bored voice.
They then came to Galaxoid and Nebulars ship. Right now it wasn't yet battle worthy
"Ratchet, how much time can you get weapons on Galaxoid, and Nebular's ship."
Ratchet got his wrench out and grinned. "I think i can be done in about two hours."
Ratchet then began to work on Galaxoid and Nebular's ship, with Galaxoid and Nebular staying behind to assist him on working on their ship.
In the meantime our heroes with the help of Sonic instructed the anakorians of the death egg, and their plan.
"The Death Egg has anti aircraft cannons that when you get close to it ,they cut you down, and the only way to get past the Anti Air cannons is to be in one of the ships Eggman made." Sonic explained while the blueprints of the Death Egg were on the wall. "The Entrance where the ship enters also has a barrier that only reads their own allies signatures, however it can be disabled from a switch on the inside, So were also going to have to hijack one of eggman's ship, and get in there. Everyone got that?"
The anakorians noded.
Just then Rachet came in. "Finished the modifications."
"Just in time too. We just finished the briefing." Calvin said.
The heroes then went over to Galaxoid and Nebulars ship, which looked like there was no modifications made to it."
"Did you do anything to it?" Jak said.
Just then Ratchet pressed a button.
Instantly two guns came down from the wings of the ship, and started turning around.
"Wow that's quite impressive." Sonic said.
"Also just to let you know, me and Clank won't be coming with you right away." Ratchet said.
"Wait, why?" Tails asked.
"I'm going to get more help from my universe."
"How are you going to get from your universe to the battle quickly?" Hobbes said. "It's going to take ages."
"I had Galaxoid and Nebular give me a spare inter-universal drive to add to my aphelion. So it should give me a few hours to get to my universe and back."
"Well good luck." Jak said.
Ratchet and Clank went into the aphelion.
"Ratchet before you go I need to ask you something." Calvin said running up to him.
"What is it?"
Can your ship teleporter teleport beings as well?"
"I'm not sure about that. Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason just keep that on the back of your mind."
Ratchet nodded, and then took off.
"Well, lets not wait any longer." Hobbes said after watching ratchet flying too his universe. "Let's get Eggman."
Everyone nodded, and got in Galaxoid and Nebulars ship.
They then took off with the army they got in tow.
"This is it Eggman." Sonic muttered. "Let's see how this turns out."
Authors Note: Let the Final Battle Begin, but your going to have to wait until the next chapter.
