Three months after Tails accidentally sent the adorable babies to who-knows-where, and life has changed in the Elemental Kingdom. The Elemental King's now sad all the time for 2 reasons. His kids missing and the Elemental Queen has been killed in a battle with Dr. Eggman. For the king, that was the last straw. Everyone in the kingdom was full of misery. But right now, that's not important. What's important right now's what's going on in Knothole. Sonic and Tails were talking. "So there's cheese flavored cake..." Said Sonic. "Yep."

"But there's no cake flavored cheese?!"

"That's right, Sonic."

"How does that make any sense?!"

"Hey, I'm just an engineer!" While they were having a pointless conversation, a portal appeared! Then, out of the portal, with an awesome flip, came a familiar light blue cat, with belts going across his chest, holding katana sheaths, and wraps around his fingers and the main part of his hand, outside his gloves, which made the high-tech sneakers look out of place, that seemed to be 15. "So, this is the planet Mobius? At least I hope it is, I had to go through 15 other dimensions to-"

"HEY!" Sonic shouted at the ninja cat. The cat looked around, then spotted them. "... WHAT?!"

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

"... WHAT?!"

"WHO... ARE... YOU?!

"... WHA- Oh, forget it!" The cat was over there in less than a second. "So, what were you yelling about?"

"I wanted to know who you are."

"Oh, the name's Sneakers the Cat, don't wear it out, I'm a ninja and the world's best water controller."

"Sneakers? Like the missing prince!" Tails said. "What was that, little guy?"

"Ignore Tails, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, the fastest thing alive."

"You know, I'm pretty fast, too."

"Oh, really? How about a littl-" Sonic was cut off by another portal opening closer to them. Then, another familiar cat who was gray flew, yes, flew out. He had the same wraps as Sneakers, but he only had 1 belt going across him horizontally, and his belts had sai sheaths. He looked like he was 6. He was talking to himself. "... This better be Mobius, I've been going through dimensions for days! I swear, if this isn't it, I'm gonna-"

"Hey!" Sonic called to him. "Hi, name's Ace the Cat, I'm a ninja, I control air, is this Mobius?"

"Wow, you cut right to the chase! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, this is Tails, we're heroes, this is Mobius."

"FINALLY! I'm looking for a ninja master named Espi-"

"SERIOUSLY?! ANOTHER PORTAL?! HOW MANY ARE GOING TO APPEAR TODAY?!" Tails shouted. A red female ninja cat leaped out of it and slammed onto the ground. She looked like she was 16. "Oh, hey! I'm Rocky. I have 2 questions, who are you, is this Mobius, and where's-"

"Wait, that's 3 questions." Ace interrupted. Rocky grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up off the ground, made a fist pointed at him, and said, "Listen, half pint! If you want to continue living, you will never correct me, and I mean EVER AGAIN! You got that?!"

"Yes, yes! Crystal clear!"

"That's what I thought!"

"Can you... Put me down now?"

"Okay, but remember what I said!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tails screamed in anger as another portal opened. A male orange cat jumped out. Like the other male cats, he had a horizontal belt and sheaths that were holding gauntlets. He had an ancient book under his arm and looked like he was 14. He stared at the others for a while. "Is this Mobius?" It was Sonic's turn to scream. "WHAT IS IT WITH CATS AND MOBIUS?!"

"Oh, well, you see, there's this ninja master who lives here, and I wanna be his pupil."

"What's his name?" Tails asked. "Espio." That's when the other cats seemed surprised. Sneakers said to him "Hey, that's why I'm here! By the way, what's your name?"

"Volt."

"OH MY GOSH!" Tails triumphantly yelled out. "What? What is it, Tails?" Sonic asked. "Think about it, their names are Sneakers, Ace, Rocky, and Volt, they're also the exact same color as the missing princes and princess. Sonic, they're the Elemental Offsprings of the Elemental King! That invention must have sent them to different dimensions that had different timelines!"

"And that's why they're not the same age! We've gotta tell the others!" Sonic ran off, followed by Sneakers, Ace flew after him, Volt ran after him, and Rocky ran after him, while Tails was yelling at them to stop, but, of course, they didn't listen. "The problem with being a kid's that no one ever takes you seriously. HEY, GUYS! WAIT UP!"

BACK AT KNOTHOLE

"SAL! COSMO! AMY! ROTOR! EVERYONE! TAILS AND I HAVE THE BIGGEST NEWS EVER!" Everyone came out to where they heard the blue blur yell. "What is it, faker?" Bet who said that! "Ignoring Shadow," did you guess him? "Tails and I found something huge!" After that, Sneakers, holding a sub sandwich, Ace, holding a pizza slice, Rocky, holding a big bag of jawbreakers, and Volt, holding a taco, came in casually, they were all chewing. Sneakers chewed for a while, swallowed, then said, "We stopped for snacks."

"Uh, Sonic?"

"Yeah, Sal?"

"Who are they?"

"You're never gonna believe this! They're-" Tails ran in panting. "I'm okay, I'm okay. I'll just lay down a bit in my house." He slowly walked away, still panting. "... Anyway, they're the missing quadruplets from the Elemental Kingdom!"

(Pause)

"Ha! Clearly ze hedgehog is a fuel! Zey are not even ze same age!" It's pretty obvious who said that. "Shut up, Ant!" Vector decided to chime in. "Him? Shut up? Ha!"

"Everyone, be quiet! Except for you, Sonic, you can continue."

"Thanks, Sal! Anyway, that ball of light that shot at them 3 months ago sucked..." Laugh now. "... Them into portals that sent them to different dimensions, each with a different timeline." Espio said "They still need to prove that they really are them." After he said that, they started controlling water, Sneakers, air, Ace, rock/earth, Rocky, and lightning, Volt. What they did, you make something up, I'm lazy. After that, Mighty said "They could just be citizens of the Elemental Kingdom."

"I'm sorry, the WHAT?!" Sneakers said. Ace and Rocky looked confused, but Volt was in deep thought. "Portals, Elemental Kingdom, princes, princess. I remember reading something like that in my Book of Prophecies!" Volt exclaimed. He opened the book. "What kinda language IS that?!" Rocky asked. "It's the language of the world I was in." He started to translate the language aloud. "The 4 missing princes and princess of the Elemental Kingdom's royal family tree will meet in the dimension known as 'Mobius' through portals like how they left Mobius. After joining forces with the princess of fire of the same species, they will partake in a battle for the title of the leader of the team they are destined to form, the Elemental Squad. This elite group of heroes will play a key part in the prevention of the greatest threat to all life in the entire universe."

"Seriously?" Rocky said. "All that came from those pictures?"

"No, I actually read this!"

"How? It's not in Mobian?"

"Well," Sneakers said, ", now we know who the idiot is." That's when Volt noticed Espio's appearance. He started to flip through the book. He came to a page that had a picture of Espio labeled "The Teacher."

Did you see that coming? R/R! Later!
