Here's chapter 37.
Among those present who were also sad was Amy's family. Her parents Paulie and Brenda were very sad that it was even obvious from the naked eye that they needed help in order to stay on their feet. They both still couldn't believe that their eldest daughter had disappeared, just like what happened with Sonic's family, they never found out that Amy had disappeared the previous time until after she returned to Mobius. Sometimes Paulie and Brenda wondered what it would have been like if Amy and Speed hadn't been home that day, Eggman had never captured them. Although they have full confidence that Amy knows how to take care of herself and that with Sonic they could defend Speed from any danger, but what they worried about is knowing when they were going to return or even if in fact she would one day return.
Anita was also quite worried about her older sister. The two were very close since they were little girls. Despite the fact that Amy became independent at the age of ten and began to live alone since then, both never lost contact, she even remembered that when she had fallen in love with Skeeter, her older sister was the first person she told about it and she gave her support to confess to him, that is why when they got married she was his maid of honor at their wedding. For some reason Anita had a certain kind of connection with Amy, that she might pick up on when she was in serious trouble. In those moments she did not feel that, but who knows if it was because she was in a different dimension. The tarot cards that belonged to her sister didn't give her any answers either. At that moment, Anita received a hug from her husband Skeeter and her daughter Charlotte when she saw that she let out some tears.
Rob, with his wife Mari-An and their son Jon, the three of them had been very thoughtful about that event. But one thing they could be sure of is that this situation would take a long time to resolve. Since it was not something, that could be fixed from one moment to another. They wanted to go to that dimension to bring everyone back, but the problem is that they did not have the means, and even if they could get there, they would not know what they would find in that universe and more importantly, if the chaos emeralds had not been found, they could not return. They wondered if Eggman had obtained all of them or only some, in any case if they did not have 7 they could not go home even if they wanted to. Rob himself would have liked to be there to help his cousin and his son. Although they were cousins, Rob always saw Amy (and Anita) as his younger sisters and when they were little he always tried to protect them, but since he saw what his cousin was capable of with her hammer, he knew that she could take care of herself alone, but now she worried that something bad had happened to her or her family.
Tails and Cosmo's relatives were just like everyone else. Amadeus felt guilty for the disappearance of his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. He had military experience and could have faced Eggman to avoid kidnapping, but just that day he had an engagement so he had to leave. Rosemary all this time had to talk to her husband that it was not his fault, it was even something so unexpected that his older brother Merlin could not predict it either. For although he has the ability to see into the future, there were many possibilities of events that could occur, and it would take him a long time to see each and every one of them. That is why although he could see that there were some futures in which they were revealed to return, there were others in which they did not. And he did not want to give them false hope or make them feel bad unnecessarily, since he would not know which future would become possible, and which would not. The only one who knew of those possible futures was his wife Isabella of his, since there was no secret between them, therefore she remained without saying anything either for the good of others.
Galaxina was crying as she held her daughter Sadie in her arms as she was comforted by her husband Emerl. This was the second time she had been separated from her younger sister since the Metarex attacked the ship in which her entire clan died. It was several months in which Galaxina thought that Cosmo had died, and although when she found out her whereabouts she found out that she had in fact died, although in a different way than she believed, thankfully thanks to hearing that they used a movement called Chaos Regeneration to prevent her from dying, but they left her turned into a seed. She thankfully she was able to revive her sister with an ability that she knew to fully regenerate Cosmo to her previous state and it worked. Although everything had gone well since then, Galaxina didn't want Cosmo to suffer from it again, nor did her brother-in-law Tails or her niece and nephew Flora and Alex.
Knuckles and Tikal's extended family were there too. Knuckles' parents (Locke and Lara-Le) and on the other hand Tikal's father and stepmother (Pachacamac and Gala-Na) were comforting each other. With them were Knuckles' maternal younger half brother: Kneecaps, and Tikal's paternal younger half brother: Gabor. Unlike others, Kneecaps and Gabor from the day of the disappearance of their relatives were practically speechless, the sadness was so great that they stopped talking, which worried many. Even in the first days they had lost their appetite, but luckily it did not last long, as if it had not been one more concern for the Echidna family other than the disappearance of their relatives or what was happening on Angel Island.
Ruby and Dimitri were close to Knuckles' family together (although Dimitri was a distant relative of Knuckles) Both Ruby and Dimitri were not with Shadow and Rouge the day they disappeared, as Dimitri was visiting relatives on Angel Island at that moment. And in Ruby's case, although she did not live with the family, she visited them very often, it is more that day that they disappeared was the day she came to visit them, although when she got home they were no longer there, and because of how she looked inside and realized that there was a fight there before it was empty. She was the one who called the relatives of the other disappeared to find out if her family was with them and thus they would end up discovering that the others had also disappeared and what happened on Angel Island she discovered it through Dimitri.
…
Although all of them were devastated by what happened, the Angel Island problem was also a concern. Since as was known throughout Mobius, Angel Island had always floated on the ocean for thousands of years thanks to the power of the master emerald, which gave it the ability to float as long as it remained on the island. But as Eggman stole it, it is plunged into the ocean as had happened on some previous occasions. Although this time it was full of echidnas unlike the previous times and there were injuries due to that event, fortunately there were no deaths, but now the island was vulnerable to any attack. For that reason there had been panic among the inhabitants of the island that the Brotherhood of the Guardians (Spectre, Sojourner, Thunderhawk, Janelle-Li, Athair, Sabre and Locke) together with some allies had to try to calm the inhabitants and make them understand that although they were vulnerable, none would allow anyone to get hurt, be it by Dark Legion, Nocturnus or even someone else who dared to set foot and attack Angel Island.
On Angel Island itself, Chaos was at the altar where the master emerald had once been, concentrating to try to find out the location. As he lived in those emeralds for several millennia he knew the energy of it. For three months he stopped feeling her when she teleported to another dimension. But having a connection with her it would be easy to know where she was if he located it, luckily since Chaos didn't need to eat or sleep, it was easy for him to focus on that 24/7. As he went by concentrating more and more, he could finally feel something, a weak connection to the master emerald. He quickly got up from where he had been sitting for the last 3 months and went as fast as he could to the place where Dr. Eggman's base was. Because it was partly made of water, it was easy for him to cross the ocean.
…
All the inhabitants of Mobius were silent without saying anything and still in the wasteland where Eggman's base was, until they suddenly heard a substance made of water approaching them. When they realized it was Chaos, this made some feel nervous, as it was strange for him to leave Angel Island unless something serious happened. Although they could not know if it was something serious or not, since what seemed to be Chaos's face never showed any expression, but they did know that if he came there it must have been for something important.
Locke and Pachacamac were the first to approach, in recent years they had learned to communicate with Chaos so only they could tell others why he got here. Locke and Pachacamac communicated with words while Chaos with sign language. The others present merely watched the two echidnas communicate with the creature made of water, until they finally stopped and the three approached the large group of mobians. From the expressions on their faces there was a glimmer of hope, or so it seemed.
"Chaos has just given us news, that although it will not bring us our loved ones yet, it is hopeful," said Pachacamac.
"A few minutes ago he could faintly feel the energy of the master emerald, although he does not know what dimension it is in, but he can tell that it is safe" said Locke.
Amadeus was the first to approach the two echidnas and ask "Does that mean our relatives are safe too?".
"We can't confirm that, but Chaos has told us that the emerald is apparently not in Eggman's possession," Locke replied.
"From what we could say that Knuckles, Tikal and the others managed to find it, although we do not know if they will also have the chaos emeralds" answered Pachacamac.
At that moment Aleena also approached and asked "But he could find out in what dimension they are, was there any indication?".
"No, there wasn't. He could only feel it energy, but he did not recognize Eggman or his robots in the vicinity" Locke said.
"So we assume that it is safe," said Pachacamac.
"Well, if Chaos can't tell what dimension he's in, I think the Oracle of Delphius can help us with that in this part. Since he keeps trying to figure out what dimension they are in. With the help of Chaos he could and his connection with the master emerald will be able to locate them faster" said Aleena.
"Thats a good idea. So what do you two think? Shall we take Chaos to the oracle?" asked Amadeus.
After the two echidnas looked at each other and then looked at Chaos, the three finally nodded their heads.
Seeing that. Aleena stood in front of the entire group of people and started talking as if she was giving a little speech. "Well, I want to give you some information that we just agreed on something important. As Chaos was able to come into contact with the master emerald, we will be able to know in which dimension our loved ones are. Tomorrow Amadeus, Guardian Locke, Pachacamac, Chaos and I will go to the Oracle of Delphius to help us. The rest of you better stay in Green Hills, that when we get back we will update you on the situation. For now let's take the rest of the day to take a break".
Hearing that, everyone knew that at least part of the problem would be solved, and as the Queen Mother of Mobotropolis said, it was better to go to rest. It is for this reason that after having spent most of the day standing in that place, everyone present left, leaving that place completely empty as if no one had been there.
Well, so far the chapter. This chapter is a continuation of the previous chapter and also takes place on the planet Mobius. From the next chapter the plot will return to planet Earth where Zootopia, Aggretsuko and Kaiketsu Zorori take place. While the planet Mobius will appear again but later.
