Here's chapter 50. Wow, I never thought a fanfic I've written would reach this amount, and it's not even close to the end yet. This chapter is mainly carried out by the Sonic characters, although with brief appearances by characters from Zootopia and Aggretsuko. Also the planet Mobius appears again, briefly, since its most recent appearance in chapter 37.
In the detective agency, the echidna family was being directed by the vixen to the place where the master emerald was being watched since the day they brought it. The boss was already there waiting for them while she observed the gigantic green emerald, being quite surprised at what one of her agents said. Since she hung up the call she came to look at the gigantic emerald. She was still shocked that a jewel would be that size and have powers that she still couldn't. Planet Mobius would definitely be an interesting place to visit if she had the opportunity to go there.
When she heard a group of footsteps, she realized that those she was waiting for had just arrived, so she turned around to receive them.
"Good afternoon, I'm glad you could come" said the boss of the agency.
"No problem. Was there anything new on our drive here?" Knuckles asked as his wife stood next to him and their two sons stood next to her. And the vixen a few meters behind.
"Not so far. But if you want to go ahead and see what's going on it might clear up a few things" said the female mouse.
Knuckles, Tikal, Locke II and Pachacamac II approached the emerald while the boss of the agency and Skye also approached and stood on either side of the family.
The four echidnas each placed their right hand on the emerald. They began to concentrate a bit, trying to capture some image of their home planet. Something, the smallest thing that could explain what happened the day before. At first, nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen, as the emerald continued to shine with its characteristic shade of green. The four of them closed their eyes while they mentally said "Please Master Emerald, if you were able to show something of ours planet before, please do it again now". Suddenly the emerald began to emit a glow that caused the four of them to open their eyes.
As the four of them opened it, they suddenly began to see six silhouettes gathered together. At first they looked blurred. But the 4 echidnas, the female mouse and the vixen could clearly see that the six silhouettes were interacting with each other. But they still couldn't recognize who they were. Little by little the silhouettes began to clear up a little more revealing first the appearances of two echidnas. One with the same physical build as Knuckles and one a bit stockier.
"Dad?" Knuckles said when he saw the silhouette of his father Locke.
"Dad?" Tikal said when seeing the silhouette of her father Pachacamac.
"Grandfathers?" said Locke II and Pachacamac II in unison upon seeing the silhouettes of their paternal grandfather and their maternal grandfather.
The boss of the agency and Skye were surprised that what had been said the day before was true. They were seeing some Mobians, although they were only their silhouettes. They had a mixture of emotions upon witnessing that, though different from each other.
A few seconds later a third silhouette began to lighten and it was the same silhouette that had been witnessed the day before. It was the long-armed, long-legged creature that had an oddly shaped head. And she was noticeably taller than the other figures.
"It's Uncle Chaos" said Locke II and Pachacamac II referring to the creature they see with their honorary uncle.
Then another silhouette began to become visible showing a fox. Although it was not fully noticeable in the silhouette, something similar to a military uniform could be seen.
"He is the father of Tails: Amadeus" said Tikal.
Then the next silhouette appeared. Was a female hedgehog, she had long hair, wore a rather long dress and it could be noticed that she was wearing a crown.
"She's Sonic's mother: Queen Mother Aleena," Knuckles said.
Both the female mouse and the vixen were surprised to hear that. They did not imagine that there was royalty in Mobius and what took them most by surprise is that if Sonic was the son of a queen mother, that meant that they had a king involved in this. Although it was rare that no one referred to him as a king, unless he didn't like using that title or he wasn't actually on the throne.
After that, finally cared for the last silhouette which was a bit shorter in stature than the others, and wore a hood, but you could tell that it had an anteater's trunk.
"The Oracle of Delphius" said the four echidnas at the same time.
Now that they knew who they were, they had to find out the context, you couldn't tell what was happening, not even where they were. Or what they could be talking about. Although they had a suspicion that it would have to do with their disappearance. They could see the silhouettes of Aleena and Amadeus with the oracle, while Locke and Pachacamac were with Chaos. It seemed that the two echidnas were explaining what Chaos saw and seeing if there was any way to find out where their familiars were. They could see in the process, how the oracle approached Chaos and touched the top of his head, perhaps to try to detect some kind of connection between him and the master emerald.
In that moments; Knuckles Tikal, Locke II and Pachacamac II wanted to find a way to be able to find contact with them, so that they would know that they could see them. That they could see them through the master emerald. The four of them touched the emerald again. And right at that moment. While the Oracle of Delphius still had his hand on the top of Chaos head, they had a sudden vision through their eyes which caused them to momentarily glow green. The ones that caused both of them to suddenly separate as if they had received an electric shock at the same time.
...
In the cave of the oracle, on the planet Mobius, everything was left in confusion after both the anteater and the creature made of water had a green glow in their eyes. The first lost his balance and fell to the ground for a moment, although he didn't feel bad, he was surprised by what he saw that he hadn't given up getting up so Aleena and Amadeus helped him, while Locke and Pachacamac made sure that Chaos was fine. Both had experienced a sudden vision that although it lasted a few seconds, it was enough to at least give some good news to the rest who were present there.
"Did something happen oracle?" asked the purple hedgehog.
"Everything is fine?" asked the brown fox.
"If everything is fine. But I must tell you that I saw them" said the green anteater.
"To who?" asked the queen mother of Mobotropolis.
"I saw Knuckles, Tikal, Locke II and Pachacamac II" said the oracle.
"Really?" said Locke and Pachacamac approaching him with Chaos behind them.
"They are well?" asked one of the echidnas.
"Where are they?" asked the other echidna.
"From what little I could see, they were fine. But I couldn't detect where they were. They were standing in front of the master emerald with each one coming into contact with it" replied the anteater.
"And the others were not with them?" asked the brown fox.
"No, they were not present. I did see a female mouse and a vixen with them, but I couldn't find out much about them. They didn't seem to be bad people though," said the oracle.
"At least we know they are not in danger at the moment," Pachacamac said.
"And the master emerald is also safe and not in Eggman's hands," Locke said.
"You couldn't do the same thing you did with Chaos a few minutes ago to see a little more," Aleena suggested.
"Perhaps, this time you can find out what dimension they are in" Amadeus said agreeing.
The Oracle of Delphius didn't think it was a bad idea. He moved closer to Chaos again and touched the top of his head again.
...
Back on planet earth; the echidna family, the female mouse and the vixen were observing everything that was happening through the silhouettes. They could understand half of what was going on, but the other half was a bit confusing. Though they assumed they were trying to figure out how to contact them. Although it seems that it would take them a while to find out what dimension they were in, at least they hoped that they would have a clue as to where they were or at least they could have seen them one way or another.
Suddenly, to the surprise of all, the silhouettes began to fade again, at first little by little until finally they disappeared completely without leaving a trace of them. At that moment an amount of sadness was felt from Knuckles, Tikal, Locke II and Pachacamac II. It was the first time they had seen someone from their dimension, but they couldn't contact them. What's more, they didn't know if they had realized that they were being watched all that time. The only thing that makes them happy is that from what they could notice, the six that appeared there were fine, and surely they were looking for a way to take them back to their dimension.
"They are fine," said the boss of the agency, noticing that the family let a few small tears fall from their eyes.
"Yes, it's nothing, we're fine" Tikal said wiping her tears, her husband and her two sons did the same.
"Do you need us to do something about this subject of the silhouettes in the master emerald?" the boss asked.
"Just one thing. We need to keep a constant eye on the master emerald if those silhouettes show up again. As you said, the master emerald is always kept under surveillance by your agents, so we need that every time they see something, they contact us so we can have more knowledge of what happens in our dimension" said Knuckles.
"Don't worry, you will receive immediate calls as soon as that happens again or even something else different happens" said the female mouse.
"Okay, one more thing. Haven't been able to locate anything regarding Eggman's new hideout?" asked the older red echidna.
"Unfortunately not. We have been sending small spy cameras to various parts of the world. Nothing has been found," said the boss.
"Definitely Eggman in recent years if he has known how to hide the trace of him compared to how he was before. Well, we have no choice but to wait. For now it's best we go back to the others," said Knuckles.
Tikal, Locke II and Pachacamac II nodded their heads.
"Well, I'll take you back," Skye said.
"Thank you very much, Ms. Winters," Knuckles said.
After saying goodbye to the boss of the agency, the 5 boarded the ship and in less than 10 minutes they were already going back to the city of Tokyo where the mobians would tell their friends what had happened.
...
Meanwhile in Tokyo, Retsuko had finished reading the message that Gori sent to her cell phone, she hadn't seen it before, because she was a bit busy. Now that she had a brief moment free saw that Gori was asking her if she and Fenneko would like to go do some yoga with her and Washimi today.
"Fenneko, you have no plans for tonight" asked the red panda.
"No. And you?" asked the fennec fox.
"No, but Director Gori invited us to go do yoga with her and Ms. Washimi. You would like to go."
"I don't think that's a bad idea."
"I'll just have to let Mom and Grandma know it's going to take another hour to get home, so they don't worry and tell the kids, too."
After that she took the phone from her and sent the messages quickly before being noticed by someone.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
