It was already noon. Tails and Cosmo were in a public pool that had been built recently in the city. The fox wanted to spend time with the seedrian and took the day in his workshop to hang out with her. At that time both were sitting in chairs that were under a large umbrella holding hands. Cosmo wore a swimsuit one piece of green, while Tails used a light blue pants. Both had gone there because I wanted to learn to swim Cosmo and Tails was willing to teach him.
"So Cosmo, you want and teach you to swim or want to wait a little longer" said the fox.
"Well, I think so. Although I'm a little nervous. The people of our age and swim and I feel a little embarrassed about it" said the seedrian looking down.
"You need not be ashamed of that. There are many people who never learned to swim and are therefore no less".
"Thanks for the encouragement. Then we go".
The fox and the rose seedriana chairs and approached the swimming pool. They searched the shallow end. When they arrived Tails was the first to get, then he held out his hand to take the Cosmo and I walk slowly.
Being inside began to get away from the shore to Cosmo first walk around the pool to become familiar with the water that was around. After that they began to walk toward the deep area and then returned to where he had been standing. After that they began to make movements with his arms and legs in the water for about 15 minutes to learn to control the direction. After that they got out of the pool.
The two went to the deep end of the pool. There Cosmo leaned his body towards the front and jumped into the water. He started practicing by herself that had just learned and went quite well. Tails watched from outside and was happy for her.
While practicing seedriana not realize that swam straight for another person who was close to her, but back. The fox realized and tried to warn him, but this could not hear you. Cosmo accidentally crashed with a purple walrus, who wore a bathroom striped red with white covering his entire body except the arms and legs.
"Oh, sorry sir. It was not my intention. Please forgive me" said the seedrian.
"Do not worry. I should have realized you were coming toward me" the walrus said as he turned.
"Cosmo, are you okay?" the fox said as he approached the seedriana swimming, but the approach could see the walrus. "Rotor! What a surprise! I did not expect to see you here".
"Neither Tails. Tell me, who is your friend?" Rotor said.
"Oh yes, Rotor will present to Cosmo. She's my girlfriend" Tails said.
"Nice to meet you, Cosmo".
"Equally Rotor, Tails has told me about you. And told me of all the devices you built to help Freedom Fighters".
"Well, I made several inventions. But I must admit that Tails achievement than when he was only 11 years".
"How could I forget that. By the way Rotor. What are you doing here? You in recent years you have become one of those people who do not like to leave his laboratory and much less to go to have fun".
"Well... I really did not want to come, but Nicole made me come. She said I needed some fun and when I refused I brought it I can put it without resistance. Even now is there watching to amuse me".
He pointed to a group of chairs in which one of them was sitting watching Nicole. Because she was a computer projected a hologram with the appearance of a lynx, for obvious reasons he could not get into the water.
"And I hope you have fun. A lot of work without no play is not good enough" Nicole said with a quiet but firm voice.
"Good. It is best to ignore it. So as we three here can have fun together" Tails said.
"Looks good to me. And you Rotor" asked Cosmo.
"Well, as long as you are with friends try to have fun" said Rotor.
"So talk" said two voices coming from outside the pool.
When the three turned around they saw Antoine and Bunnie. The coyote was wearing a red shirt and blue pants. The rabbit was wearing a bathing suit two piece pink.
Fox, and walrus seedriana approached the shore.
"Antoine, Bunnie! What a coincidence! It's a nice gathering of former Freddom Fighters" said Rotor.
"I think the same" Bunnie said.
"And we need his presence" Tails said.
"We plan to have some family time with Jacques and Belle" said Antoine.
"And where are they?" asked Cosmo.
"I do not know. Before leaving they received a call for something important and left the house without even telling us where they were going" Antoine said.
"We only said they would meet us here, but did not say how soon" Bunnie said.
"Well until they could hang out with us, the more the better" said Rotor.
Antoine and Bunnie looked at each other and got to the pool.
...
Meanwhile Jacques and Belle flew toward the meeting point with the other team members. They already had an idea of where they could be the villains, but they had to form a plan to attack and kill them before they unleashed their plans.
"I hope everything is fast and can get back before mom and dad begin to worry about us" said the yellow coyote.
"I also hope the same. But I have a feeling they already suspect something we're doing" said the brown rabbit.
"I doubt it, and would have made a comment or something".
"I hope you're right".
When they saw the group landed in front of them. There were Mighty, Ray, Geoffrey and Hershey.
"We finally arrived" said the skunk.
"Sorry, when we called we were about to go out with our parents and we had to tell them we had to do something major to come" said the rabbit.
"By the way, where they are Silver and the others?" asked the coyote.
"Well, when Shadow learned where we're going to go began to behave strangely and refused to come. Right now Rouge, Silver and Rutan are trying to change his mind" said the armadillo.
Just then the bat white, the silver hedgehog and red echidna were talking to the black hedgehog.
"Shadow, you must come. You're the only one who can tele transport us all to there without the need for Chaos Emeralds" Rouge said.
"I can not, I promised myself not to go back there for the rest of my life. Why not use a ship and go if my" Shadow said.
"For if we go on a ship, they will realize our presence. And we want to have the element of surprise on our side" Rutan said.
"Let's father. I know that still affects you what happened to Maria, but if you do not help us people who you appreciate the same destination will" Silver said.
"I do not know how you know that, nor do I care. My answer is still no. I'm not going back there" said the black hedgehog.
"You're going to condemn the fate of the planet just for that father. If you keep this for your sake we can not save the future and we will all live in a world in which there is no hope of life for anyone" said the silver hedgehog.
"I saw someone die innocent and I will not relive those memories".
"I saw five innocent die in the future, including a Rutan people, not so I backed off".
Shadow did not answer and turned away.
"You know why. In the future you will be considered a hero because everyone heard that sacrificed your own life to end the tyranny of the Rulers of Evil and incidentally, although not were still alive, everybody will forgive so you did when you were a king. I know what we are doing will change the future, but still if you help everyone you consider a hero as you were in my future. Or not tell me you do not want to clear your name all over what you did. Surely if you help us save the future will make Maria happy, wherever her spirit to rest".
That last part did the black hedgehog back to look at the silver hedgehog.
"Okay, I'll help. But only do it for her spirit".
The silver hedgehog smiled. So did the white bat and the red echidna.
The four returned with the rest of the group, who were waiting.
"We are already ready to go" Silver said.
"About time" Geoffrey said.
Shadow looked at Geoffrey with a serious look, because he did not like at all the way it was expressed. The skunk is frightened by the look of the black hedgehog and fell silent, and did not know how to react this.
"Well it's time to go. Take all of hand" said the black hedgehog with a cold voice.
Jacques, Belle, Geoffrey, Hershey, Mighty, Ray, Silver, Rutan, Rouge and Shadow held hands.
The black hedgehog closed his eyes, said "Chaos Control" and so the 10 disappeared from the place.
...
It was already 5:00 PM. Tails, Cosmo, Antoine, Bunnie, Rotor and Nicole were already their normal attire and were about to go home. The six were concerned about Jacques and Belle. Since they never came to the place as promised.
"What has happened to both? Why did not they come?" Bunnie wondered.
"They have been doing things in secret from the week before" Antoine said.
"Really? The last week that Jacques came to my workshop and was with us all day, it was normal and did not seem to be hiding something" Tails said.
"This is strange. From what day exactly behave like this?" Rotor asked.
"From the day I called to tell us to investigate in the ruins Castle of Mobius who stole the Anarchy Beryl Bomb and E-107 Theta" Bunnie said.
"I would not worry about that. Maybe have been busy solving that, you will not even have realized that you are suspecting" Nicole said.
"That must be" Antoine said.
"In any case, as we are gathered here, there is something I want to talk to everyone, but we need all the former Freedom Fighters. Tails could contact Sonic to come" said Rotor.
"Okay. I'll tell him to come with Amy" Tails said.
"One minute. You Amy is here too?".
"Yes. She came to the kingdom along with Cosmo the day of the funeral".
"Well, even better. The more the better".
After a quick call to the six they went to the house of the walrus. On arriving there they found that the blue hedgehog and pink hedgehog had arrived.
"Just as fast as always" Rotor said.
"To see that even though I am old, I still maintain my speed" said King Sonic.
Then, walrus looked at Amy and said "Amy, your other hand you look like the last time I saw you".
"Thanks Rotor. I glad to see you".
"Then Rotor. Tell us what we want to show".
"It's in my lab. Join us to me and Nicole".
King Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cosmo, Antoine and Bunnie followed to Rotor and Nicole. When they arrived they saw a curtain covering a large apparatus.
"Here's what I wanted to show them" he said Rotor discover what was behind the curtain.
