1:00 p.m.
Mephiles, Silver, and Blaze walk into some kind of database, with a giant flatscreen computer.
"To fix the present timeline, you need to change the past," Mephiles explains.
"That's impossible!" says Blaze, "How can we do that?"
"Don't worry," the hedgehog assures her, "With my help, you can, because I have the power to travel through time!"
Silver is surprised by this, "No way! You, Mr. No-Mouth, are cool!"
Blaze just facepalms herself after what Silver just said. Man, this kid's an idiot, she says in her head.
"Thanks, but you can just call me Mephiles," says the dark hedgehog, "As I was saying... In order to change the past, you must eliminate the individual who awakened Iblis: the Iblis Trigger."
Silver and Blaze turn around and whisper to each other. "I don't think this is a good idea," Blaze whispers.
"Shut up," says Silver, "He knows what he's talking about. Just let me do the talking." The two turn back to Mephiles and Silver asks him, "If I eliminate that guy, will our world be saved?"
Mephiles nods, "The Day of Disaster... Here are my records of this event." He turns on the computer, which shows images of Soleanna.
"Soleanna?" Blaze says, "I think my parents went there before."
"Soleanna may have looked nice in the past," Mephiles starts, "but today, it looks horrid. This was when Iblis was freed and his flames were released into the world," he then grabs his psychic ball from the dumpster and shows it to Silver, "And you have this person to blame."
He hands the orb to Silver, with the ladder looking inside of it. In it, is a male blue hedgehog, somewhere around his age, being surrounded by flames.
The white hedgehog then asks, "Is the blue hedgehog the Iblis Trigger?"
Mephiles nods in response as Blaze asks, "May I see?"
Silver hands the ball to the purple feline. Blaze looks in the ball and sees the hedgehog, "He looks kind of familiar."
"Really?" Silver asks, "You know him?"
"Yeah," says Blaze, "He used to go to my school."
"We're not talking about school!" Mephiles yells, "Now give me back the ball."
Blaze gives Mephiles the ball, while the ladder says, "Now... Let's go back in time to when the Iblis Trigger was alive." He then generates a sphere will his hands, making him and the tweens vanish.
Saturday, November 11; 1:45 p.m.
(200 years in present time)
It is a beautiful day in the Soleanna forest, as a portal opens up with Silver jumping out of it. He looks around and notices that Blaze and Mephiles aren't around.
"It looks like we all got separated," Silver comments to himself, "Where am I? I just hope I find the Iblis Trigger soon." He then runs off through the forest.
Meanwhile, at Wave Ocean...
Blaze is seen walking around the beach house area wondering where the two hedgehogs went. "Why would that black guy separate us?" She looks down at her watch and notices the year difference, "Thank Mobius we're in my timeline. Otherwise I would have gone insane."
She then stumbles on a piece of paper. But it wasn't just any paper: it was a flyer for the annual Soleanna Festival. "Come to the Sun Festival! 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 11th; all ages welcome," Blaze reads on the paper, then says, "Sounds interesting..."
9:30 p.m.
The Sun Festival: a very important event in the city of Soleanna. Every year, everyone celebrates their worship of the Sun God, Solaris. During the night, all the regular citizens arrive to the castle area of the city for parades, dances, and most importantly, watching their Princess Elise light the flames.
Speaking of Princess Elise... A large boat carrying her arrives to the festival. Princess Elise, a 17-year-old human girl with pale skin, a dark red pixie-styled haircut, and blue eyes. For this cherished event, she is wearing a white short-sleeved dress with feather trim stopping at her thighs, some nude pantyhose that make her legs look like they had a bad day at the tanning salon, and red and gray heels. For the accessories, she is wearing some long gloves with feather trims, some silver diamond earrings, a gem necklace, and a white feather crown. Seems like the main trend this year is anything feather-related...
Anyways, Elise walks over to a statue. Someone brings her a torch, while the princess grabs it from him. Elise nervously stares at the flames, and begins having a vision.
Vision
In the vision, a large blast of fire engulfs the city. Elise is seen floating in the air witnessing this. In the distance, she sees the Flames of Disaster: Iblis. Iblis is surrounded by the flames and starts roaring.
End of vision
Elise snaps back to reality when one of her servants asks her, "Miss Elise, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing," says the princess, then gives the speech she gives every year, "We give thanks for the blessed flames. May we always continue to have peace. Sun of Soleanna, guide and watch over us with your eternal light!"
Elise lights the flame with the torch that ignites a frame surrounding a pedestal, with everyone applauding while fireworks are launched into the sky. The princess smiles and waves to the citizens as out of nowhere, missiles come flying in, attacking the city! Everyone starts screaming, panicking, or running away from the attack.
The Egg Carrier fries over Soleanna, dropping about a dozen shiny gray robots around the boat where the princess and her servants are standing. As the robots are about to attack, Dr. Eggman and his sidekick robot, uh... Robot, arrive in Eggman's Egg Mobile.
And looks like the two got quite the makeovers! Eggman is still his bald and overweight self, but he looks a lot thinner! Not too skinny, but still a little thick. His pink nose is no longer pink, as it is light tan like the rest of his skin. He even has forehead wrinkles, despite being in his 40s. His clothing attire is still pretty much the same as usual: red jacket with yellow buttons, black pants, and black boots. He is still wearing his dark blue sunglasses, and his reddish brown mustache is still quite long.
Robot looks different himself: he's also shiny like the Egg Gunners, except he's more bronze instead of orange-yellow. He even looks similar to them, except shorter, with no weapons in sight of him or any legs or feet. He still has arms, hands, wheels, and a face, except he doesn't have his cartoony style like before.
"Hello Princess!" Robot politely greets and waves to Elise.
Eggman then smacks Robot on the top of his had and screams, "Shut up, Robot! I get to talk to the princess first! You need to wait your turn!"
Robot groans as Eggman begins speaking to the female human, "I'm sorry about that. This particular robot annoys the crap out of me."
"Who are you?" Elise asks the horrifying-looking Eggman.
"I am Dr. Eggman," he says, "I've come here to obtain the Flames of Disaster from you, and to take the miracle gems that are the key to its secret: the Chaos Emeralds!"
Elise clutches a blue Chaos Emerald in her hands as she backs away in fear.
"Come on!" Eggman stomps his foot, "Get in the Egg Carrier or my robots will force you up there!"
The Egg Gunners begin to push the fearful girl towards the ship, as just then, blue hurls come circling around in the air. The blue hurls stop at a cliff, only to turn out to be the blue hedgehog. He is wearing a black buttoned-up shirt, some blue jeans, and his signature red sneakers with the white stripe and gold buckle.
"My...that's a pretty snazzy performance there," the hedgehog comments.
Elise looks up at the hedgehog. "Young boy, please save me!" she pleads to him, "This weird, ugly man is trying to kidnap me!"
"I'M NOT UGLY!" Eggman screams, "I JUST GOT PLASTIC SURGERY!"
The hedgehog looks at Eggman in various angles and asks, "Is that why you don't look like your regular self?"
"Yes," answers Eggman, then yells to his robots, "ATTACK THIS IRRITATING HEDGEHOG!"
The blue boy picks up the princess bridal style and starts running away as the Egg Gunners try to shoot him. As this is going on, Silver is standing on a roof of a building watching the whole fiasco.
"I finally found him...the Iblis Trigger!" Silver says as he clenches his fist in determination.
Meanwhile...
The hedgehog, still carrying Elise, is still running from the festival.
"Um...why are you helping me?" Elise asks the hedgehog.
"You were in danger," he answers, "and Dr. Eggman is bad news."
"I never got your name," says the princess.
"I'm Sonic," the hedgehog answers, "Sonic Mc'Newman."
"Then I thank you, Sonic Mc'Newman," says Elise.
Just then, Eggman's robots return, only to block Sonic's path. Sonic puts Elise down and attacks all the robots.
"All done," Sonic says.
Elise then screams, only for Sonic to turn around to see Elise being grabbed by Eggman's Egg Mobile.
"I'm afraid our little game ends now," says Eggman.
"Give her back!" Sonic screams.
"Never!" Eggman screams back.
Elise manages to get an arm out of the mobile's grasp. "Sonic, take this!" she says as she throws the blue Chaos Emerald to Sonic.
Sonic catches it and says, "Don't worry, princess. I'll rescue you soon!"
"When's soon?" Elise wonders.
"Who cares?" says Eggman, "My henchman will be guarding my base, while we go somewhere else! Don't worry, it'll be a surprise!"
The two flee into the Egg Carrier and leaves the city while Sonic just stands there, looking at the time on his phone.
"I should get back to the hotel," he says, "Or I can wait for the Egg Carrier to fully leave."
On the roof, Silver jumps to another roof, in an attempt to attack Sonic, only to be stopped by a female pink hedgehog.
"Now I've got you, Sonic!" the girl screams with joy as she hugs Silver.
"Hey! I'm not Sonic!" yells Silver, "Don't you know better than to hug strangers?"
The girl looks up at Silver and starts freaking out, "Ahhh! You're not Sonic! Gross!"
"Of course I'm not Sonic, you dimwit!" says Silver, "I'm Silver! And who's Sonic, anyways?"
"I'm sorry," the girl says, "Sonic's my boyfriend, or at least he will be. I lost him during the attack of the festival."
"I'm sorry about that," says the white hedgehog, "What's your name, and aren't you a little young for a boyfriend?"
"My name's Amy," she answers, "And no, you can never be too young for a boyfriend! I'm only nine years old."
Silver rolls his eyes at that comment as Amy grabs his arm. "Now come on! We need to go find Sonic!"
"Hey, wait!" Silver cries as he and Amy start running.
And that was Chapter 2! Sorry it took so long! If you don't know who Robot is, he is one of my OCs, who you will see in a lot of my other stories. His original description will be seen on my profile and 'The Start of it All." Next chapter will be about Shadow's first part, and how Sonic and friends live the life of Soleanna. Remember to review, and I will see you in Chapter 3!
