200 Years in the Future, Outskirts of Onyx City

A male silver hedgehog, with hair to match that of a pot leaf, sat inside an old, broken down, abandoned bus. The only working part was the radio, which was playing, "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire." There was nothing else around the bus besides ground, sky and a few dead tree and an island which was on it's side. Must of been floating at one point in history. At the bottom of the tipped island was a city, named Onyx City, place which the silver hedgehog once called home but was banished after trying to fight against the City Council and their corrupted laws. But, at the very least, one of the 5 Council Members listened to him.

"Silver!" a female golden tenrec yelled, running into the bus. The hedgehog jumped out of his skin.

"What?" he yelled. "What is it, Gold?"

"The Professor! He wants to talk to us!" Gold said.

"Why?" Silver asked. "And he's in the city. We can't go there. We were banished after I tried to speak up and convinced you to join me instead of working as one of them!"

"But… but…" Gold muttered. Wasn't good with speaking out loud. She used her telepathic abilities to speak to Silver. It was her prefered way of speaking. "But he said something about changing the past!"

Silver looked up. It was his dream to change the past.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Silver asked, getting up.

Present, Angel Island, Hidden Palace Zone

Knuckles laid down on top of the Master Emerald, with Julie-Su sitting at the bottom of the shrine.

"Knuckles…" Julie said.

"What?" Knuckles said, keeping his eyes on the ceiling.

"Maybe we should move the Master Emerald to a safer location, don't you think?" Julie suggested. Knuckles looked down. "I mean, the Dark Legion now know where it is! Shouldn't we move it?"

"And where would you suggest moving it to?" Knuckles asked.

"Maybe to my ship?" a voice said. It was Dimitri, with Lien-Da and a bunch of Dark Legion Soldiers with him. Knuckles jumped off the gem.

"Hands off, fishbowl!" Knuckles yelled. "You're not taking this Emerald anywhere!"

"Of course," Dimitri smiled. "Maybe it would be much wiser to throw the both of you off this island!" The soldiers started attacking but were no match for Knuckles and Julie. Julie then decided to shoot at Dimitri, making part of his glass crack, forcing him and Dark Legion to teleport away.

"We're moving this thing away from this place, right now!" Julie ordered.

"Fine," Knuckles said.

"And I'm calling the Freedom Fighters to help." Julie said.

"What?" Knuckles yelled.

200 Years in the Future, Onyx City Library

Silver and Gold ran in. Professor Von Schlemmer was waiting for them.

"Guten tag, mein friends!" he said, in happiness. "Ich has big news vhich I'm sure you will enjoy!"

"That you can change the past to make ourselves a better future." Silver said, excited.

"You are very good at this game," Schlemmer said. "Ich has done the research and ich can confirm that is has something to do with the crashed island!"

"You mean Onyx Island?" Gold asked. "And how can one that crash destroy the whole world?"

"Because that island held the most powerful gem in the vorld!" Schlemmer explained. "That gem made the impact of the island crashing over 9000 more times powerful than normal!"

"How do you know this?" Silver asked.

"Books, mein boy!" Schlemmer said. He walked over to a cloth which covered something. He threw it off to show a time machine. "This machine will take you both to the past so you can stop the island from falling! But I just need some spare parts left to finish it. There are boxes on the shelves. There might be some in those."

Silver used his psychokinesis to fly up and grab a box. He then opened it up, only to see a robotic echidna head inside, with longer dreadlocks than normal. He screamed.

"What is that?" he yelled. Schlemmer picked it up and pressed the on button.

"Awake, at last!" the head said. "Where am I?"

"You are in the Onyx City Library, mein friend," Schlemmer said. "Who are you?"

"I don't remember much… my memory was mostly wiped out," he said. "But I do remember that my name was Dimitri and I was betrayed while trying to get the Master Emerald." He looked at Silver and Gold. "Mmm… I remember seeing you two! Yes, you were helping me all those years ago!"

"Well, this is the first time we've seen you," Silver said.

"But I remember seeing you!" Dimitri said. "I see you also have a time machine."

"Yes, but that's to fix the past," Gold said.

"Fix? Bah! It's not broken. This is how the should be!" Dimitri yelled. "You two are going into the past to help past me so the space time continuum can be stable! If you don't help me, the universe will collapse to history becoming illogical! For now on, it's your jobs to maintain history, not change it!""

"Ich vill find the last of the parts," Schlemmer said, walking off. Silver and Gold sighed.

Present, Angel Island, Hidden Palace Zone

A robotic bird flew through a hole of the cave watched what was going on. The Freedom Fighters came to help take the Master Emerald to a safer location. Knuckles, Rotor and Bunnie lifted up the Emerald.

"I still say we don't have to move this," Knuckles said.

"Would you rather the island crashed into the ocean?" Sonic asked.

"Thanks again for coming," Julie said.

"No problem, anything to protect Mobius," Sally said. "Ok, while you three carry the Emerald, we'll be walking with you, protecting you from the Dark Legion as we make our way to Shrine Isle."

The robotic bird turned around and flew out of the cave.

Sky Sanctuary Zone

The bird flew past the Sanctuary until reaching the main building. It flew in the window and landed on Kragok's robotic arm.

"The footage have arrived back, grandfather," Kragok said, plugging the bird into a TV. Dimitri and Lien-Da came in and watched the footage.

"So they think just move the Emerald to Shrine Isle?" Dimitri said.

"Of course, we'll be there to ambush them," Lien-Da said.

"It won't be that easy, dear sister," Kragok said. "As you can see, the Freedom Fighters are with them. Our weak soldiers can't defeat the guardian on his own!"

"Well then what chance do we have?" Dimitri yelled. There was a flash of light which blinded them for a bit. After the light went, Silver and Gold were in the room.

"Are you Dimitri?" Silver asked.

"Yes," Dimitri said. "Who… Who are you?"

"I am Silver the Hedgehog and this is Gold the Tenrec," Silver said. "We mean you no harm. We are only here to help you…"
