"They might be onto me. Some of my technology has been hacked and tampered with. If you want to find me, I'll give you the location. But you have to be quick. It won't be long until they find us. My coordinates are..."
With that, the telepathic communication was ended. Cream left the balcony and ran to find her mother, who was busy washing her hands inside her office.
"Mom! It's Tails, he's safe." Cream stated.
"Good timing," Vanilla grinned. "Have you got his location?" Cream nodded in response to her question and told the co-ordinates of Tails' base.
"Ummmm, Sonic? Are you awake?" Cream quietly asked, knocking gently on the door.
"Umf, yeah, come in." Sonic grunted. "198, 199..."
Cream opened the door to see Sonic, who was still covered in bandages, doing push ups. It was obvious he couldn't stay still for long. Cream rushed over to him as he was doing his final push up.
"200."
"Sonic, you shouldn't be pushing yourself like this! Your wounds already reopened once!" Cream chided him, helping him up and to his bed. Sonic looked at the older girl with astonishment.
"Cream... No way! You look so different for being 12!"
"I'm 18, Sonic. I'm not 12..." Cream sighed.
"Well, the Cream of my dimension is 12..."
"Anyway, I need to check on you and make sure there's no hidden complications." Cream replied, performing a quick examination on Sonic.
"Seems like there's no sign of internal injury. Still, you should be resting. Getting tachycardic is never a good thing." Cream advised.
She was ready to sedate sonic when Vanilla and Shadow entered.
"Don't sedate him just yet," Vanilla told Cream. "Have you told Sonic about what we have to do tomorrow?"
"That reminds me, Tails is safe. He said they're hiding in Treeshroud forest, which is on the other side of the city. We have to get to him by tomorrow." Cream stated.
"Thank goodness! It's good to know he's safe. We need to find a way back to our own dimension." Sonic rejoiced.
"It won't be easy, faker." Shadow replied.
"He's right," Vanilla added on. "The area may be crawling with spies and if we get caught, there's no chance of getting back to your dimension."
"Nega's far more powerful than Eggman, after they overthrew the president, Eggman was meant to be president. But Nega was obsessed with power. No one knows what happened to Dr Eggman. He was never heard of after that."
"Even people... Didn't know who he was."
"Um, excuse me... Do you know what happened to Dr Eggman?" Cream asked, for the umpteenth time to a different person.
"Who is Dr Eggman? The only Eggman there is is Eggman Nega."
"You mean... You don't know who Eggman is?" Cream asked in shock. It seemed like everyone had forgotten about Eggman.
"But there only is Eggman Nega. There isn't another one."
"...What?" Sonic slightly fretted. "He's more than a pest, he's destructive... Which gives me more energy to defeat him."
"Anyway, you need to rest, Sonic. We'll be setting off very early tomorrow. Cream, put him to sleep." Vanilla demanded.
"Yes mom, goodnight, Sonic." Cream said, injecting the anaesthesia into Sonic's IV line.
"Sleep well, Faker." Shadow coldly said as him and Vanilla left the room.
"Good night, you lot." Sonic yawned, as his eyes slowly shut.
Sonic opened his eyes to be staring at a ceiling. He instantly recognised it and realised he was at Amy's. Not only did he wake up to that, but a cold feeling and a dull ache on his head.
"Ugh... What happened? Why does my head hurt?" He asked himself.
"Oh Sonic, you're awake. It was cold last night, you decided to sleep on my roof, and the next morning I found you outside my door, with a bruise on your head and a high fever." Amy entered the room and felt his forehead. "Your fever's gone down, but you're still a bit warm. You know sleeping on the roof isn't healthy. You can knock on my door and I'll let you in,"
"Yeah, I know." Sonic replied. Amy had just left the room to go get some towels, leaving Sonic alone. He then felt a wave of a nightmarish heat and a harsh pain from his chest tightening rapidly, making it harder to breathe. Shouting was almost impossible since Sonic was hyperventilating.
"Ack-!! Amy! Amy...!" Sonic wheezed. His vision faded to white.
Sonic gasped as his eyes flew open. He was covered in sweat, his heart monitor was beeping rapidly along with his heartbeats and due to that, his remaining wounds burned. This lasted for 2 long minutes before he calmed down.
"Just a dream... Thank Chaos..." Sonic sighed.
He remembered Amy. Before she was a girl who obsessed over him. After 3 years of not seeing her, she had completely changed from chasing after him at first sight with "SONIC!!" to "Hi Sonic, out on one of your runs again?" And calmly approach him. It made him feel more free. He lay still in his bed, thinking,
"I wonder what Amy is doing right now?"
Amy stared at the ceiling, knowing something was wrong. Unable to sleep, she slipped out of bed and went outside to catch fresh air. Looking up at the full moon, she felt something, no. She knew something was out of place.
"I wonder... Where Sonic is?" Amy thought.
