Back in Kingdom of Acorn; Sonic and Elias met Vector, Espio and Charmy who began to help them calm down the crowd that ran from one place to another after what had just happened.
Although they had managed to calm a group of ten people it was not enough, since there were many people in the city and if they stayed together they would take longer to calm them all at the same time.
"It's better to separate ourselves in groups, in order to cover more ground," said Sonic.
Elias, Vector, Espio and Charmy nodded and the five took separate paths.
"I hope Amy, Dad and Omochao are well," Sonic told himself.
"I hope that nothing has happened to Vanilla," said Vector to himself.
"I hope that Sonia has not affected anything about her true age," Espio told himself.
"I hope Cream and Cheese are not scared by this," Charmy told himself.
"I hope Megan and Alexis are safe from all this panic," Elias told himself.
...
On the other hand, Rutan was among the crowd of inhabitants that ran from one side to the other. He held Jacques and Belle firmly in his hands so as not to lose sight of them.
"Wow, things have gotten very bad around here, it is better to quickly find someone you know so you can take them safely with your parents" Rutan told the two babies.
Jacques and Belle just stared at him.
At that moment Rutan came up with an idea. If he found his uncle Knuckles or his cousin Remington they could help him find Antoine and Bunnie, so that Jacques and Belle would be safe at home.
He just hoped to find one of the two among that many people who ran from one place to another, and that it was going to be difficult for Rutan who had become a 7 year old boy and for Jacques and Belle who had become in babies 1 year old.
...
In Heaven II, on the screens of the conference room; Spectre, Sojourner, Sabre and Tikal (the last one had Froggy on his head) were talking to Remington, who was with his wife Rita-Le and his daughter Riki-Le (the latter had become a 7-year-old girl) With them were also his great-great-great-grandfather Dimitri and the fire ant Archimedes.
"I am glad that you are well after this has just happened," said Spectre.
"Likewise, but the city is in chaos, I think they should go help the inhabitants, I'm about to go there with Archimedes," said Remington.
"We just sent Knuckles in. Big and Kneecaps decided to accompany him too, the rest of us will be here and we will go if everyone's presence is necessary," said Sojourner.
"It is true, apart we can not leave the Heaven II unprotected, as we are sure that this situation was caused by someone and we can not let them take over this place whoever it is," Sabre said.
"It sounds reasonable, we will communicate with you in case we need more help," said Archimedes.
Meanwhile on one of the streets of the city were Knuckles, Kneecaps and Big going in the direction of the prevailing panic.
"This will be the beginning of the end?" Knuckles said to himself in a low voice in such a way that Kneecaps and Big didn't listen to what he said and also worried about what would happen from now on.
...
Amy, Cosmo, Jules, Omochao and T-Pup watched on television the news that was happening at that time and saw that this phenomenon had happened all over the planet. Not only on Angel Island, but also in the Kingdom of Mercian, Kingdom of Dragon, Downunda, the place that had previously been Robotropolis, etc.
"Amy, I think we should call Rob, Mari-An and Jon to make sure they're okay," Cosmo said.
"I agree, right now I'm wondering how they will be doing after this," Amy replied.
"Do you think they can keep everything under control in Mercia because of this situation?" Cosmo said quite worried.
"I am very sure of that, they have already gone through similar situations in the past, but they have always gone ahead" said Amy as she began to dial the number on the videophone.
Jules on the other hand was still watching television with Omochao and T-Pup, while wondering who could have done this and for what purpose.
...
On the other hand, Vanilla in the company of Dr. Quack and Dr. Shockra were attending to the people who were injured after this event, which to say a lot were more than 20 citizens. For luck of them three there was no death of any of its inhabitants.
"Well, now that we've seen the children first, it's time to take care of the elderly," said Dr. Quack.
Dr. Shockra and Vanilla nodded.
Vanilla began to ask if, just as they had been injured in the city, he was worried that his daughter had been injured as well.
...
Luckily, Cream and Cheese was fine and they were with Sonia, Honey, Marine and Shade having lunch in a restaurant when everything happened and they were shocked. They were surprised to see that many customers there who were mostly young adults were turned into children. Knowing that it was not logical they decided to take them with the EST to see what they could do with them.
Of all of them Sonia was the most worried, because if this had affected everyone, it would also have affected her with her true age.
Cream noticed his concern and said in a low voice "Do not worry, if you still have the normal mentality that means that this did not affect your true age."
Although Sonia relaxed a bit, she could not be sure. When he was a little calmer he would look for Sonic and ask him to take some tests to ease his worries.
...
Tails, Rotor and Nicole were working on a computer trying to pick up some sign of where the energy that rejuvenated the entire planet came from.
"Gosh, this has been my fault, I should never have built that machine," Rotor told himself as he blamed himself.
"It's not your fault. Rotor, you did not know someone was planning to steal this," Tails told him to comfort him.
"He's right Rotor, you did it for a good cause," Nicole said giving him a hug and a kiss on the lips to comfort him.
"But that does not eliminate that I was the one who had the idea of building the device," said the walrus.
"Rotor, he who did this had everything planned, we do not know who did it, but they discovered your invention and used it for evil, you were not to blame because what you did was for a good purpose. to me, you were not to blame, "said the fox.
"He is right, I do not know how, but even if I do not like to accept it, I suspect that there is a traitor among the Freedom Fighters, no villain could have sneaked in here and found out about the device we were building. have an informant "said the lynx.
Although Tails and Rotor did not want to believe either, they knew there was a traitor, but the question was who it could have been. They did not want to believe that one of their friends had been capable of that.
...
Antoine and Bunnie were desperately looking for Jacques and Belle. They saw the events that occurred with this event, and if they did the accounts well Jacques and Belle could be in danger or even worse if they were left alone for a long time.
They kept calling them, but they did not get answers. They began to ask who they would find to know if they had seen them, but all the answers were negative, nobody had seen them anywhere.
They hoped someone had not kidnapped them or something like that. After what happened at Mobius Castle, they feared for the safety of their children. Even when Jacques and Belle agreed to investigate the missing artifacts from the catacombs of the castle ruins, Antoine and Bunnie feared that something would happen to them. Although they knew that both knew how to take care of themselves, the fears that they could die had increased with the latest events.
As they walked they looked up and saw Dulcy flying over the city. They signaled him to land next to them.
"What's just happened, in a minute I was flying through the sky, then a light passed quickly in front of me and suddenly chaos began, and why do we all look younger now?" Dulcy asked.
"It's a long story, we'll tell you later, we need your help right now to find Jacques and Belle."
Dulcy nodded.
Antoine was mounted on the back of Dulcy and this began to fly while Bunnie began to fly with the help of his robotic legs.
Once they were in the air they decided to separate to cover more ground.
...
In another part of the city, Matilda was looking everywhere for her older brother Mighty and her adoptive brother Ray. She was very worried about them, since they did not return home the night before and they had not contacted her to know they were okay.
"Matilda!" said a voice that she recognized.
When he turned around he saw Wombat Stu running towards her.
"Matilda, you're fine! I thought something had happened to you when you saw what just happened" said the yellow Wombat as he approached and gave him a hug.
Stu and Matilda had been having a romantic relationship for a while, and although they lived in different places they could maintain a long-distance relationship. When this mysterious event happened, Stu quickly took the first flight to Angel Island to see that Matilda was well.
"I'm fine Stu, but I can not find Mighty and Ray, I have not seen them since yesterday and I'm worried that something happened to them, I've tried to communicate with them, but they do not answer me."
Stu did not like to see Matilda sad so he kissed her on the lips to reassure her, then told her in a low voice "I'll help you find them, they can not be far away."
He took her hand and together they began searching everywhere in the crowd for the black armadillo with the red breastplate and the yellow flying squirrel.
...
Meanwhile in the Anti Mobius were Miles, Patch, Boomer and Princess Alicia talking about what they had seen when Scourge had momentarily returned to search for the rest of his new team.
"I'm sure he's planning something big, but as I did, my research has nothing to do with the Mobius Prime," said Miles.
"Then, where will he have gone? If what he has always tried is to seize that universe," said Boomer.
"It's a good question, I made some inquiries and found out that he is in the Light Mobius universe," said Miles.
"I've never heard of that universe," said Alicia.
"I have heard of that universe, that universe followed a timeline similar to that of the Mobius Prime, but that universe, unlike others, exists in a future timeline, instead of being the year 3237 as it is here or in other universes, it is the year 3268. So there is 31 years in the future "said Patch.
"And why would he want to conquer that universe?" Alicia asked.
"I have no idea, but we can not stay behind," said Boomer.
"It's true, and luckily we kept several of these when we last went to the Mobius Prime" he said holding a large gold ring in his hands.
