Here is chapter 49. This chapter focuses mainly on the Sonic characters with the appearance of two characters from Zootopia: Jack Savage's Boss and Skye Winters, although with the latter having a brief appearance.
Once Tails answered the call, not only did he himself appear, but Sonic, Amy and Speed were also there. It seems that they had contacted them, before contacting him. At least the fox was glad that the three hedgehogs were okay. There were no expressions of serious concern in them, so he supposed that everything had gone well with Judy's parents and Nick's mother, he could only see in them the same curiosity that he had having received this call. They wondered if he had something to do with Eggman or the safety of the master emerald that was being cared for at the agency.
"Good morning, I'm sorry to call you like that on the spur of the moment. Did I interrupt something important?" asked the boss through the comm as soon as she connected.
"Don't worry, no problem" said the two-tailed fox.
"Has something bad happened that we need to take care of?" asked the blue hedgehog.
"No, everything is quiet at the moment. No problems detected or anything" said the female mouse.
"Then I guess your call is due to another matter" said the pink hedgehog.
"Yes, a few minutes ago I spoke with the Prime Minister of Japan, and he told me that he wanted to speak personally with you about the events that occurred over the weekend in the city of Tokyo," said the chief of the agency.
"With all of us?" Sonic, Amy and Tails asked in unison.
"Yes, he informed me that if it's okay with you, the meeting could be tomorrow at noon, and he also said that they could come to terms with his staying in the city until they can return to their home universe," the boss said.
After a brief look between the blue hedgehog, the pink hedgehog and the yellow fox, finally the first one answered for all three "Yes, we can go and at that time it would be fine".
"It is decided, I'm going to notify the prime minister to let him know."
"Before I hang up, out of curiosity, nothing unusual has happened with the master emerald," Knuckles said, suddenly entering the conversation.
"Well, now that you ask, yesterday an agent who was guarding the emerald noticed something strange about it and reported to me that he was able to see the silhouette of a strange creature. It had long arms and legs and its head was oddly shaped. The silhouette showed the creature sitting on the ground, then suddenly got up and ran away." answered the female mouse.
"Chaos? It is something that we should worry about," said the boss of the agency. That kind of name didn't sound like it was good for her.
"Not currently," said Tails.
"Although in the past we did have to solve a big problem with him when Eggman had him under his control using chaos emeralds to take over the world," Sonic said.
"But thanks to Sonic, Chaos's anger calmed down. Eggman has never tried to use him for his plans again" said Amy.
"Anyway, Chaos is on our planet. But I still kind of freaks me out because the emerald showed him in silhouette. He was seen again after that," Knuckles asked.
"No, we haven't seen it again, we were waiting to see if it happened again to let you know" said the female mouse.
"Well, if it's okay with you, my wife and I could go to the agency to try to figure out the situation," said the red echidna.
"Isn't that a problem with you?"
"Of course not, it's more our duty to find out anything that happens with Chaos or the emeralds."
"It's fine. I'll send someone to fetch them. It will arrive at your location in 20 minutes."
"We will be ready".
"Well, that would be all for now. I'll get back to you if anything else comes up."
They all nodded their heads and then cut off the communication.
After that, Knuckles approached Tikal, and explained what he was told about Chaos seen through the master emerald. And that they had to go to the agency to find out what was happening.
"I agree. We should go, but I think Locke and Pachacamac should come too."
"Good idea, between the 4 of us we could make the master emerald react to see if it shows us something else."
They both went to the room where the children were, fortunately, the group call between them with their other friends had already ended, without any of the parents or other relatives knowing about it. Knuckles and Tikal approached their two sons and told them that they had to go away for a few hours and explained the reason why. Knowing that it was very important, they nodded their heads. And they followed their parents.
When they reached the room again they looked at the people who had come there to get their communicators.
"We apologize for our sudden departure, but something important has come up, so we must go," Tikal said.
"But if when we return, you have already left, tell your friends that they can contact us for anything important that happens, "said Knuckles.
Those who had arrived less than 15 minutes ago nodded and watched as the echidna family left the apartment.
Knuckles, Tikal, Locke II and Pachacamac II made their way to the roof as fast as possible, before anyone saw them. Already being there they only had to wait very little to leave. Since a small plane appeared which landed near them. From this came a vixen wearing a mechanic's clothes, which was formally introduced.
"My name is Skye Winters. My boss asked me to take them with me to the agency. Is it only you who will come?"
"Yes, just the 4 of us, Ms. Winters," Knuckles said.
"Well then, come with me," Skye said.
Everyone gets on the little plane and fastens their seatbelts. Once the doors closed the plane took off and began to move away from the building.
As they made their way to the base, the vixen was happy that she could help the Mobius heroes in some way, since in order to do something for them to prevent misfortunes from befalling innocent people was enough. She had heard what had been saying in the base the day before about the silhouette that could see in the master emerald and she wanted to know why that was. This would be an opportunity to get rid of doubts about that specific topic. As she looked in the rearview mirror she could see that the echidna family was talking about that topic, seeing the expressions they had on their faces.
...
At Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd, the second working day was pretty normal. The tense situation between Retsuko and Legoshi that everyone noticed had been fixed, even those who were not very aware of the situation could tell that they were no longer acting towards each other in the same way that they did until before going to to have lunch. Something that was quickly noticed by Ton and Tsubone. At least now with that matter fixed there would be nothing that would affect productivity in the accounting area. Furthermore, because of that, Retsuko now went back to making sure that Legoshi learned what he needed to know at work. So Haida went back to handle with Jack and Louis.
As everything went on like any other normal day, Washimi and Gori walked down the hall outside the accounting area with their serious faces and straight walks. As they passed through the entrance they saw that everything was quiet as usual, and even saw Retsuko a little more relaxed. They both let out a light sigh and continued their walk.
"Gori, how has everything been with Sonic and the others these days?" Washimi asked.
"The coexistence has been interesting. Each one has its peculiarities, but I have no problem with it. They are good company," Gori replied.
"And you haven't heard anything new about their mission?"
"Not for now. Tails called me an hour ago just to ask permission to let the people he gave the communicators to earlier in my apartment, since he had finished with the missing ones for them to take to their respective friends and acquaintances."
"Tails? You don't think it's too soon for you to call Mr. Prower that. You haven't even known each other for a week."
"I know, but he himself insisted that I call him by his nickname, he said that everyone knows him as such."
"Oh I understand. So at the moment there is nothing we need to worry about. If there had been, Sonic would have already filled us in."
"Exactly, for the moment we just have to enjoy these moments of peace, and be aware of anything that seems strange."
"Let's hope they can foil any other plans Eggman has before it happens."
"According to them, they have already done it several times that they even lost count."
"I have no doubt that this is true. Considering that we witnessed what they can do."
At that moment, Gori began to feel some slight pain in her muscles, which Washimi noticed when she saw the pose that put while she was walking.
"Don't show weakness at work," said Washimi.
Gori returned to her normal position and they both went momentarily to the break room. There Washimi gave Gori a pill that would be efficient against those pains and after having taken it with the help of a glass of water they walked back towards their respective work areas.
"Washimi, don't you think we should go to yoga class today?"
"Are you sure? You don't think it's closed after what happened over the weekend."
"We have nothing to lose by trying. We might even invite Retsuko to reminisce about old times. Fenneko could also come if she has time."
"Okay, at check-out time you write to ask them."
"Don't worry about it, I just wrote them."
Washimi looked at Gori and only sighed upon hearing that.
When they both reached a hallway that split into two corridors, they went their separate ways with Gori heading back to the marketing area and Washimi to her secretary's office.
...
In another part of the city, Koka, Hana, Izumi and Daisuke were watching TV, their favorite program in the afternoons. And as they watched, they imitated the multicolored heroes who defended the city from villains who, when they grew in size, called their giant robots to confront them. Retsuko's mother and Retsuko's grandmother met them while watching TV, they definitely liked spending those moments with the children, for some reason it made them feel young again. Despite the fact that the things that both of them did in their respective youths were different from what children now do today.
When the commercials started, the two adult red pandas got up from their seats and went to the kitchen to get some juice for themselves and each of the children, who were left alone for a few minutes.
"So, do you have any idea when you'll be talking to your new friends or even meeting them again?" Izumi asked.
"Yeah, because we liked them and wanted to talk to them again sometime" Daisuke said.
"Well, we don't know when we'll see them again" said Koka.
"But maybe we could talk to our parents to see if we could meet them over the weekend," Hana said.
"Let us know so we can go with you if you are going to meet them again" said the gazelle and the cat.
The red panda and the wolf/fennec hybrid nodded their heads while smiling.
At that moment the older red pandas returned and handed each child a glass of juice. And after they sat down again, they continued watching the program, since the commercials had ended.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
