Here's chapter 69. This chapter also focuses on the Sonic characters found on the planet Mobius.
On the planet Mobius, all the inhabitants had been a little calmer after discovering the day before that some of their friends and family were still well. And having seen that, they were hopeful that the others were in good shape as well. The Oracle of Delphius and Chaos had decided to stay in Green Hill since since the relatives of the disappeared were gathered there, it was better to be there than to travel from their respective homes to Green Hill every time something new came up. During his stay in that place, Chaos was with the relatives of Knuckles and Tikal; while the Oracle of Delphius was with Sonic and Amy's relatives. As Chaos did not need to sleep, he stayed awake all night, as he has been since he existed, which has been approximately more than 4000 years, while the Oracle of Delphius spent his time meditating, this gave him enough rest as if he had been sleeping.
During the morning of that day. Some of the mobians were gathered. Specifically, they met Sonia and Manic (Sonic's triplet sister and brother), Anita (Amy's younger sister), Galaxina (Cosmo's older sister), Knecapeon Mace "Kneecaps" (Knuckles' younger half-brother by his mother's side) and Gabor (Tikal's younger half-brother by her father's side). All of them were gathered sharing their concerns with their respective brothers or sisters. Sonia had left her son Erick and her daughter Camilla with her husband Espio; Manic had left his daughter Melody with his wife Mina; Anita had left her daughter Charlotte with her husband Skeeter; Galaxina had left her daughter Sadie with her husband Emerl.
"I know everyone is fine, but I'm scared about what could happen to Cosmo, considering what happened to him 21 years ago. I don't know if the way we brought her back to life can work twice" said Galaxina.
"I'm also worried that Tikal will go through what happened 4,000 years ago again and have to disappear for who knows how many more years. I don't think he can get over never seeing my older sister again if something like that happens," Gabor said.
"Come on, Gabor, your sister isn't going to go through that again, and I don't think Knuckles will let her go through that again anyway," Kneecaps said to reassure his best friend. They have known each other since the day Gabor was born, at which time Kneecaps was 1 year old. And since then they had been inseparable, and they knew very well when the other was very worried or going through stressful times.
"I wouldn't worry about Cosmo going through another tragic event like that either, they're not going through a situation similar to the previous one, so I don't think she's going to have to sacrifice her life again to save the rest. What's more, I think Tails and Amy are making sure that a similar situation doesn't happen again" said Anita putting a hand on Galaxina's shoulder to reassure her.
To try to raise their spirits, Sonia and Manic who had temporarily borrowed some medallions from their respective children (Sonia to Erick and Manic to Melody) These medallions had previously belonged to the magenta hedgehog and the green hedgehog. The locket that the magenta hedgehog had was in the shape of a keyboard and the locket in the green hedgehog was in the shape of a drums. It had been many years since they last used them. Suddenly these medallions began to shine and grew in size taking the form of a electronic keyboard that Sonia took in her hands and on the other hand a drum that landed on the ground, in front of Manic. The others present looked at this in surprise, they were aware of the abilities of those medallions, but it was the first time they saw them with their own eyes.
Sonic and Manic began to play a song that they had composed together with Sonic years ago shortly after they reunited after being apart for the first few years of their lives. It was a song that talked about never losing faith, even when things seemed hopeless. Taking into account the absence of Sonic in the song, in some parts Sonia sang his part, in others it was Manic who sang, and in some they sang a duet. For them, it felt weird to sing something without Sonic, since many of the songs they did in their youth were the three of them together, very few involved just one or two of them. And this one in particular was always sung by the three of them to encourage each other.
Once they finished with the song the instruments returned to being ordinary medallions. The yellow hedgehog, the bluish green seedrian, the red echidna, and the purple echidna began to clap for the magenta hedgehog and the green hedgehog. It was definitely true what they said about them that they were good musicians. And they loved being able to see them sing one of their old songs. They were aware that the Hedgehog triplets, only Manic continued with a musical career where he was part of a band with his wife, since Sonia is currently the queen of Mobotropolis, while Sonic has dedicated himself to continuing his life as a hero, defending the innocent and stopping the plans of Eggman or any villain who wanted to cause trouble.
"Thank you very much for the song" said Galaxina.
"And it's true what he says, don't lose faith," Gabor said.
Anita and Kneecaps were happy to hear that from the other two. It was definitely good that Sonia and Manic sang that song for them.
Just before they could continue talking, they suddenly heard someone calling out to them. When they saw who it was, they saw that they were locked on Erick (who was carrying his baby younger sister Camilla in his arms), Melody, Charlotte and Sadie.
The children approached their respective mothers (father in Melody's case) to tell them that the Oracle of Delphius and Chaos had seen something new and that he wanted everyone to gather in the center of the city to hear what they saw. Not long ago they had a new vision of the other dimension so everyone was going there. The three hedgehogs, the seedrian and the two echidnas followed the children anxiuos to see what was happening. Hopefully they could find out about the others this time and what they were doing. If they were okay, if they were about to go home, there were many possibilities, although they tried to take all the possibilities into account and not just one so as not to be disappointed in the end.
As before, they all gathered together, although this time only the anteater and the creature made of water were the only ones standing in front of everyone else present. They began to explain to them that when Chaos began to have these visions of what he could see through the master emerald, he reached out to him, and by touching his head again he was also able to see again what Chaos saw. He told them that this time he could only see the female mouse and the vixen that they had seen the previous time they were with Knuckles and his family, although this time it was just the two of them. But they could see that in the same room where they were there was a screen where they could see what was happening elsewhere and they could see Sonic and the others trying to stop something that could not be seen clearly while on the other hand others could be seen trying to keep the citizens present in that place as far away from the conflict as possible. After that they couldn't see anything else.
Hearing that made everyone relax a little more, since from what they saw, apart from Knuckles and his family, they were able to learn that Sonic, Tails and Shadow with their respective families were also fine, so they wouldn't have to worry a lot for them, they knew they would be fine, but now what was on their mind was what plan Eggman would have in mind, since Sonic and the others wouldn't have revealed their identities in a strange and new place for them if it weren't for something that his enemy was about to do. But no matter what happened, they were sure that they would be victorious, although they hoped that no innocent would get hurt, since everyone was aware that the Eggman of 20 years ago had changed and was now more dangerous and sadistic than ever, they don't know what caused that , but they would have to be very careful when facing him.
"At least it is a relief to know that they have not lost their spirit of justice and continue to defend the innocent. No matter where they are, they will always do that. It's in their blood to be heroes," Galaxina said.
"And not only them, but also the children inherited that aspect from their parents" said Sonia.
"Exactly, I've noticed that Speed has that fascination with adventure that Sonic has," said Manic.
"Not to mention Amy's temper when she's furious" Anita said smiling a little remembering how little patience her older sister and her nephew can have.
"Locke and Pachacamac have also shown great progress both on their hero side," said Kneecaps.
"As in their role as guardians. I think they will be just like their parents in that regard," said Gabor.
They all nodded to that.
"Now there is something else that I must tell everyone" said the Oracle of Delphius calling the attention of all those present, who didn't look away for a second waiting for what they were about to hear to be something hopeful.
"During the night and part of the morning while meditating I had a mental connection with Chaos. I could hear a kind of voice, although at first I didn't know whose it was, I realized it was the internal voice of Chaos, he explained to me that although there is currently no way to bring them back, he did tell me something interesting about the master emerald that hadn't happened before."
Hearing that part made Knuckles' relatives who have been the guardians of protecting the master emerald and Angel Island wonder what would have happened to the master emerald in that other dimension, or if it would cause any problems.
"The fact is that the master emerald seems to have been reflecting a kind of silhouettes where one can see what Chaos is doing in the present and one can also see who he is interacting with or what they are doing. I don't know much about what's causing that, but it may be because of his connection to it. Perhaps when we saw the vision of Knuckles and his family in front of the master emerald in that other dimension they would have noticed the silhouettes of those of us who were present in my home at that time".
At that moment, several voices were heard among those present speaking on the subject, including the same relatives of Knuckles who had never seen something similar happen with the master emerald before. This could be some kind of help to be able to communicate with your loved ones in that other dimension, and ask them if they were okay.
The oracle of the Delphius called the attention of those present once more so that they would listen to him. "As what they see are silhouettes, it won't do any good for me to write something on paper for them to read, but if I can make letters appear as cloud shapes that could be seen by them through the emerald as silhouettes, then I I'll be able to help you on that part. Just say what everyone wants to say and tell me."
Everyone present was happy to hear that, and each one began to think about what they would say so that their loved ones could see it later.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
