Mobotropolis

Sonic, Tails, Sally, Amy, Rotor, Antoine and Bunnie were running through the city, chasing Axel the Water Buffalo in his Egg Monster, who was attacking the city. Sonic ran ahead and caught up to him.

"Came back for more, huh?" Sonic chuckled.

"The Egg Army has shown mercy, hedgehog!" Axel yelled. "No longer will we show you mercy! All hail the Egg Army!" He took a right and drove straight into a mall. Sonic followed. The others stopped in front of the entrance.

"Ok, we need a plan." Sally said, bring out Nicole.

"Bunnie and I will chase after Axel!" Amy said. Nicole brought up a map of the mall.

"They're already in the food court!" Nicole said.

"Rotor and Antoine, do you think you can get people out of there?" Sally asked.

"It will be no problem, princess." Antoine said.

"Wait!" Nicole said. "There's also a robbery at the First National Ring Bank!"

"Tails and I will deal with that!" Sally said.

"Let me just get something from my workshop to help with that!" Tails said, flying off.

"Let's go! We don't have much time!" Sally ordered, with everybody running off.

Lake of Rings

Blaze sat by the lake, wondering how she was going to get back to her world and if Nauges' words about Scrouge were true, or a trap...

"Hey, Blaze!" Silver yelled, running up to her. He was followed by Gold. "We found someone who can help us!"

"What do you mean?" Blaze asked, getting up.

said that he doesn't belong in this world and is trying to get back!"

"But I belong in this time period…" Blaze said. "It's the dimension I'm stuck in!"

"Well maybe he can help with that too? Just come with us." Silver said, holding out his hand. "Please…" Blaze sighed.

"Fine," Blaze said, grabbing Silver's hand and walking off.

Mall

Sonic homing attacked Axel, who blocked it.

"Get away, hedgehog!" Axel yelled. The side of his machine was shot with some energy beams from Bunnie, who was flying towards the battle, with Amy following behind.

"We're here to help ya, sugah-hog," Bunnie said.

"Don't be too sure on that!" Axel yelled, slamming a button in front of him. His machine started shooting missiles everywhere. Bunnie dodge the missiles and pushed the machine over. Axel got out, holding a chain with a spike ball on the end, swinging it around.

"You call that a weapon?" Amy yelled, running up to him with her hammer. "This is a weapon!" She hit the ball with the hammer, sending it off course, making Axel spin around, with the ball going around him.

"That just made him harder to hit!" Sonic said. Axel let got of the chain, sending it flying. Once it stopped, it appear to have eyes and a mouth with sharp teeth. Axel stopped spinning and fell over.

"Destroy them, Egg Chain!" Axel ordered. The Egg Chain started bouncing around the area, trying to bite the heroes. Bunnie jumped back, landing next to Axel. He grabbed her leg as he got up, holding her upside down.

"How do you have these robotic?" Axel ordered. "Do you know something we don't?"

First National Ring Bank

Sally ran in, taking cover, only to see Sleuth in a mech walk, shooting down locks. The mech stopped walking, with Sleuth banging on it.

"Work you stupid thing!" Sleuth yelled. "I paid good price this so it better work!" Sally heard another mech. It was Tails, in the mech from SA2.

"Tails, is that the tornado?" Sally asked.

"Yep!" Tails said. "You're going down, Sleuth!" Sleuth's mech started working again.

"We'll see about that!" Sleuth laughed, charging towards, before the mech broke down again after Tails shot it a bit. Sally ran up and used her ring blades to cut the cockpit off the legs. The cops arrived to arrest him.

"Be warned, princess!" Sleuth yelled, being pushed into the police car. "I've heard that a green hedgehog is out to murder the king!" The car drove away, with Sally looking worried.

Alleyway

Silver, Blaze and Gold walk in.

"I don't like the look of this…" Blaze said. There, was someone in a hood, covering any identity they had.

"Are you… the ones?" He asked.

"Yeah…" Silver said. The hooded person walked up to a door at the back of a building and opened it. He walked in, with the others following. Once they were in, the door disappeared. They were in a room of nothing, but a black void of star, as if they were in the middle of space. The hooded person sat behind a table with cards on it. The cards floated up and shuffled themselves.

"Beware of a hedgehog… who was denied freedom…"

"Beware of a hedgehog… who came from another world…"

"Beware of a 'hedgehog'... who was denied his existence…"

The trio were confused.

"How is this going to help us get back home?" Gold asked. The hooded person held out the cards.

"Each pick one!"

The trio picked a card each.

"The imagine on the card tells what your future shall be…" the guy said.

Silver smiled at his. It was merely a picture of heart but that's all he needed. Blaze's was of a crown. However, Gold's was blank.

"What does this mean?" Gold asked. "It's blank!"

"Not blank…" the guy said. "Darkness, I see in your future…" He started to disappear, along with the room. Soon, Silver, Gold and Blaze appeared back in the alleyway.

"I knew we shouldn't have trusted him." Blaze said. "That told us nothing." She saw Gold was scared. "Gold, if I was you, I would pay no mind to it."

"Yeah," Silver agreed. "Besides, if anything did happen, we would be right here to help you!"

"Thanks guys," Gold said, feeling a bit better.

Mall

"This is what happens when that Eggman of yours decides to attack and have mah whole home fall on top of me!" Bunnie said, throwing Axel off her and shooting the Egg Chain, destroying it. "Ah had to get my arm and legs replaced with these machines in order to help mah self!" She grabbed Axel and threw him over the horizon.

"So you were a victim of Eggman's first attack?" Sonic asked.

"Sadly, yes," Bunnie said. "But on the bright side, it allows me to be a strong member of the Freedom Fighter!"
