(200 years in the future)
Tuesday, November 11; 7:30 a.m.
A purple teleport emerges from the sky, with Shadow and Rouge jumping out of it. The two agents look around, wondering where they're at.
"Did we land in New York city, or is it just me?" Rouge asks.
"Not sure," answers Shadow. He notices something different about this location. Crumbling buildings, city on fire, lack of people... "It looks like we're in the apocalypse," he says.
"Do you think a really terrible band or singer played here?" Rouge asks her friend. "Maybe that caused this... apocalypse."
"I don't know," Shadow says. "but whoever played here must have been worse than the crap we get on the radio these days."
"Let's go see where we are," Rouge suggests as she and Shadow run off.
A few minutes later, the GUN agents are in a computer room, where Rouge is typing something.
"Okay... Now that I've pinpointed our location," says Rouge. "Let's see what it is."
The computer screen shows the location which reads, "Crisis City: the new name of Soleanna. This name was given do to always being engulfed in flames and looking destroyed."
The teenagers read the text on the computer. Rouge is shocked at what she just read. "Crisis City?!" she shrieks. "How can that be?!"
"That's what I want to know," Shadow adds.
Rouge keeps reading the text. "It appears we've been sent to the future," she explains to him. "Approximately 200 years."
"200 years?" says Shadow. "You'd be dead before then."
"Oh shut up," Rouge coaxes, then says, "At least we know we're in the future. And we know that this creepy Mephiles guy can control time."
"That feels very similar to my Chaos Control for some reason," says Shadow. "Luckily, I've been learning how to use Chaos Control to travel through time. But unfortunately, we need two Chaos Emeralds in order to do that."
Rouge scoffs, "Well I guess we're stuck here then."
Shadow nods as the agents hear some screaming and thuds in a distance. Shadow looks around asking, "What was that?"
8:00 a.m.
In a different room that looks similar to Eggman's base, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are on the floor, looking like they just feel.
"My head is spinning..." Tails moans.
"Where are we?" Knuckles asks as he stands up. The boys hear some steps from a higher ledge.
"Hi, Knuckie!" a voice greets, using Knuckles' most hated nickname. "I didn't expect to see you guys here!"
The guys turn around, and see that the voice belongs to Rouge. And it looks like Shadow's here too, as the two freshmen are standing on the higher ledge.
"Rouge! Shadow!" Tails smiles, happy to see them. Sonic and Knuckles, not so much.
"Long time no see," says Rouge.
Knuckles sighs and says to her, "Can you not call me Knuckie? You know how much I hate that name."
"I know," Rouge flirts. "but I think it's cute."
Sonic changes the subject by asking the agents, "It's nice seeing you two, but what are the odds we'd all be here at the exact same time?"
"I'm not sure," says Shadow. "You guys should come follow us."
The five animals are at a mountain ledge, which gives them a view of the apocalyptic city.
"This is the future," Shadow explains to Team Sonic. "Approximately 200 years ahead."
"The future?" Tails says. "Then that means Eggman's machine is a time-traveling device!"
"Why does the future look like it was attacked by monsters?" asks Sonic.
Out of the blue, a fire lizard whose head is up to Sonic's head bites into a non-anthropomorphic rat and eats it. Then the lizard looks at the gang and breathes out fire, causing them to run away screaming.
They hide near a dark building, where they (except Shadow) are shivering in fear. Rouge points to the fire lizard and answers to Sonic, "That's why."
"Eggman has some nerve dropping us here," says Sonic. "He brought you here too?"
"No," answers Shadow. "Rouge and I got sent here by some creepy guy without a mouth."
Knuckles pipes in asking, "So how do we get back to our own time?"
"You need a space-time rift," Shadow explains. "but that requires a lot of energy."
Knuckles and Tails aren't understanding the black hedgehog very well, but Sonic on the other hand does. "I see," he says. "You can use your Chaos Control to travel through time?"
"Yes, but that alone is insufficient," Shadow answers with power in his voice. "We need you guys' help finding two Chaos Emeralds so we can use them to travel back to our own timeline."
Tails turns to the black hedgehog and asks him, "How long could you use Chaos Control to time travel?"
"Not very long honestly," answers Shadow. "I'm still learning."
"So here's the plan: You three check in this area," Rouge explains to the boys. "Shadow and I will go into the city."
Everyone agrees as the go their separate ways.
(About 200 years ago, present time)
Monday, November 13; 10:00 a.m.
Back in White Acropolis, Amy is inside Eggman's base, looking for Sonic. She saw him and the others travel here last night, and she wanted to see what was up. She had been looking for them all night, but still no sight of the trio anywhere.
"Sonic?" Amy whispers not too softly. "Where are you?"
She then notices a door on her left. Just as she attempts to open it, Princess Elise walks out of it!
"Uh...Hello?" Elise weirdly greets the pink hedgehog.
Just then, an alarm rings in the base. Elise's heart races, afraid of what will happen next. Amy on the other hand is fine, as she says to the princess, "I'll get us out of here!"
Elise follows Amy out of the base. She really hopes she doesn't get kidnapped by that evil scientist again. She was kidnapped about, like what, twice?! Of course she doesn't want to be taken away again!
11:30 a.m.
Finally, back to her home kingdom: Soleanna. Where Elise can watch over the citizens and make sure nothing bad happens in this city. She's still with the pink hedgehog, who seems nice enough. To keep the walk back home entertaining, she decides to conversate with her.
Elise turns to the young girl and says, "Thank you so much for rescuing me! You have no idea how awful it is to be imprisoned by that evil man!"
Amy looks up at the human and says, "You're welcome, and I know how it feels to be kidnapped by Eggman. He doesn't treat me very well."
"May I ask, what's your name?" asks the princess.
"My name's Amy," answers the hedgehog. "Your's?"
"Elise," says the 17-year-old. "My name is Elise."
Amy begins to examine Elise, head to toe. This woman is very pretty: nice, polite, patient, and honest. "Wait a minute..." Amy begins. "You mean Elise, the princess of Soleanna?!"
"Yes," Elise answers awkwardly.
"No way!" Amy exclaims. "I'll bet someone's on your way to rescue you!"
Elise sighs, wondering how Sonic and his friends are doing in whatever point in time they're in. She really misses Sonic. "Well... he was," Elise says, looking away from Amy. "But Eggman sent him and his friends to a different time. Who knows when they'll come back..."
Amy begins to notice something familiar. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles we're rescuing the princess? Is that why she hasn't seen him in the past day or so? She smiles and says, "You mean Sonic went to rescue you?"
Elise nods her head in response.
"Well no wonder I haven't been able to find him!" Amy complains. "I've been looking everywhere for him!"
"Your friend seems really nice," says Elise. "Just yesterday, he told me 'Nothing starts until you take action.' I think I will follow his advice."
Amy looks at her suspiciously. She wonders if Elise has a crush on him. "Say... You wouldn't happen to have feelings for Sonic, would you?" Amy asks the princess.
"No," Elise answers. "He's not exactly my type. He's only 12 years old."
"That's good," Amy says, relieved to hear that Elise doesn't like Sonic in a romantic way. She then asks, "Does Sonic have a crush on you?"
Elise scratches her chin to think. Does Amy have a crush on Sonic? If Elise answers yes, then Amy will get mad. But if she answers no, Amy would question why Sonic doesn't drool over a beautiful kind princess. What should she say?!
The nervous princess takes a deep breath and answers, "A little bit, but I'm sure he's just trying to be a good friend."
"That's okay," says Amy. "Sonic's like that to me too." She then notices that the castle is close by. "Hey Elise!" Amy squeals in excitement. "There's the castle!"
Elise looks up and sees her castle. White, ginormous, looks more like a museum fused with a mansion. That's the Soleanna castle, all right. She turns to Amy and says, "It was a pleasure to meet you. Enjoy the rest of your day!"
"I will!" Amy responds as the two wave goodbye and leave their separate ways.
Elise runs over to the castle, happy to be home. She could cry tears of joy if she wanted to, but unfortunately if she did, the Flames of Disaster will be released, causing the entire world to end. That wouldn't be good. Think positive, Elise. Think positive.
She runs through the hall outside her home, where to her dismay, some of Eggman's robots block her door. Elise gasps and turns around, only to be surrounded by more robots! Shoot! And she was only a few steps away from entering the inside of her home!
Eggman arrives in his Egg Mobile saying to her, "Finally. I've been waiting patiently for you to return, princess."
Elise is shocked to see the ugly human. "How did you find me?"
"I put a tracking device in your shoe when you were sleeping last night," he answers. "Now come with me."
Sigh... And just when she arrived back home. That was Chapter 10. I hope Amy's and Elise's conversation wasn't as cringey or awkward as the original. Next chapter will focus more on Crisis City, as Sonic and the gang will look for the Chaos Emeralds and go back to their own time.
Remember to give me a review and I'll see you in Chapter 11!
