Mystic Ruins

7 years have passed and the echidnas are lining up as the new chief is not Grandma, but her son named Pachacamac the Echidna as the tribe are kneeling.

"Everyone! We, as the warriors of the echidna tribe, are seeking chaos as chaos is power. We will fight to bend the world to our will. Once we travel, we must prepare ourselves and fight." Pachacamac raises his spear as many echidna men are cheering.

Standing behind the pillar, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are curious to know what's happening after being taken to the future of the past.

"You. You will lead us to face your opponents. Locke, face one and be the worthy leader of our alliance." Pachacamac points his spear towards an echidna man.

"Yes, chief." Locke the Echidna chucks his spear at a pillar near Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, making Sonic and Tails flinch. "Then allow me to face the hedgehog."

Revealing behind the pillar while ignoring Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, Aleena appears in a long dress with an armour that is gauntlets, a breastplate and a helmet visor like a headband, even her golden boots are under her dress, even appears to have long quills like a hair.

"What!? How did she get here!?" Pachacamac exclaimed as other echidnas raised their spears at a teenage hedgehog girl.

"I wasn't expecting a greeting from someone like you, Pachacamac. What you're doing is against your mother's will." Aleena smirks while approaching the echidna tribe.

"Princess Aleena…" Pachacamac growls as he witnesses the same hedgehog who entered the island 7 years ago.

"Just address me as Aleena, old man. And I don't see any echidna girls as your warriors. How sad." Aleena frowns while shaking her head and sighing.

"Ngh… Well, Aleena, since you're one of the Knuckles Clan's targets, your kingdom is going to be the first to be taken by our tribe."

"Daddy didn't want that, not even your mother. Do you even care about Tikal as well?" Aleena asks calmly while piercing a glare towards Pachacamac.

"Persistent little brat… Locke, are you sure about that?"

"Of course. This kid knows my wife. So I was thinking, how well do you fare as a warrior?" Locke chuckles while picking up his spear.

"What!?" Pachacamac is flabbergasted that Locke is unfazed by Aleena's arrival and his mutual respect towards a hedgehog.

"Looks like you're the only one who doesn't underestimate me. How about a duel. If I win, you'll buy me a meal at the Sylvania Kingdom." Aleena licks her lips while unsheathing her sword and puts an eye visor down like a real knight.

"Of course. And if I win, then it's vice versa. My treat." Locke pulls down the mask as he makes himself out to be a tribal warrior.

Pachacamac is left flabbergasted when one of his warriors acquaints himself with an enemy that is a former friend.

The battle begins with a sword and a spear clashing as the duo are at mach speed, causing the echidna clan to exclaim as if one of their tribe members is more than he made himself out to be.

Finally, Locke is the first to chuck his spear, causing Aleena to block and dodge from a red spin dash, allowing Aleena to spin dash into a purple quilled ball, making both balls bouncing into each other until Locke swings his fist and Aleena swings a kick on each other.

This flashes back to Sonic's kick and Knuckles' fist as they parry, making the trio gasp with surprise.

As Aleena reveals 2 chaos emeralds that are green and blue, she smirks as the echidnas exclaimed while Locke remained silent.

"How about a game of catch the emerald?" Aleena's smile widens as she's prepared for this.

"I thought you'd never ask." Locke widens his grin while spinning his spear.

"What is going on!?" The echidna exclaimed.

"I don't know!?" The other echidna is as confused as the rest.

"Don't just stand there! Grab the emeralds! Get that hedgehog!" Pachacamac orders as the clan yells, charging towards the battle.

As Aleena tosses 2 emeralds high in the sky, at the same time she and Locke leap as they bounce on different pillars and spin dash all the way towards the sky, making the duo clash their weapons as the emeralds are being bounced between the hedgehog and the echidna.

Afterwards, they crash as the echidna clan yell while being pushed back.

Aleena successfully grabbed the blue emerald whereas Locke successfully caught the green emerald.

As Aleena nods, Locke can see what Aleena was planning as he nods and leaves, causing the clan to surround Aleena.

"Aleena! Not only did you invade our home, but you turned one of our members into a traitor!? Why!?" Pachacamac is fuming with rage after witnessing what Aleena has done.

"So he can leave with his wife. You echidnas sicken me." Aleena shows disgust while swinging her sword.

"And with the emerald!?"

"The green one is Chaos Control. They'll never come back to your corrupt clan." Aleena smirks while walking backwards and raises her sword. "Come on! Let's go!"

In the end, Aleena is prepared for her face off against a horde of echidna clans.

The world starts to fade as the memory ends with Aleena's fight against a horde, making Sonic and Tails flinch.

Finally, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles disappear from the world as they end up back to their timeline.


Present

20XX August 9th

Mushroom Hill

Opening their eyes, Sonic and Tails jolt up as they gasp, only for them to see Amy and Tikal in front of them.

"Sonic! Tails! Thank goodness!" Amy jumps as she hugs Sonic and Tails.

"What the?" Sonic looks around with confusion.

"Where are we?" Tails is confused about a very different location after being in Hydrocity.

"We're in Mushroom Hill. What happened earlier?" Tikal asked.

"We saw Sonic's mom. So that means she's from 4000 years ago."

"Well great, So Tania and I had a 4000 year old mom. I didn't know dad is into grannies." Sonic groans while leaning on his hand to his chin.

"Knuckles is right. It's Chaos Control that is why me and Tania are born."

Tails and Amy are in fear that if history is changed, that means not only Sonic wouldn't be able to exist, but Tania as well.

"At least you're able to keep history as is." Tikal nods while patting Sonic's shoulder.

"Yeah. What about Knuckles? He said mom is similar to his parents." Sonic said, making Tikal lower her head with worry.

"Yes. It's true. Aleena had led them and other echidna tribes to this time without me and other echidnas. That means you, Tania and Knuckles are born from ancient families." Tikal reveals the truth, making Sonic rub his head out of frustration.

"I already knew dad was cool, but I didn't know mom was that cooler. I really need to be as cool as my family."

"But you're already cool. The cooler version of yourself." Amy points out while cheering Sonic up.

"Yeah. Maybe I am." Sonic lifts himself up and then turns towards the mushrooms all over the forest. "So, are we really on the right track?"

"Of course. We might be close, so bear with me for a while." Said Tikal.

"Sure thing!" Amy follows Tikal towards the next location.

"Sure. Come on, Sonic." Tails waves while walking with Tikal and Amy.

"I'll catch up." Sonic waves and then looks at his own hand.

Knowing the negative energy is seeping into Sonic, he fears what'll happen to Super Sonic after realising that Eggman had messed with him and Tania for a while.

With 2 emeralds taken, Sonic is now up against a special kind of enemy, who is luckily in a dilemma about who Sonic truly was.

Sonic finally walks while following Tails, Amy and Tikal, while thinking on how to get them back from an echidna.


Mystic Ruins

Groaning while sitting up, Knuckles is seeing Eggman working on his newest creation while Mecha Sonic assists his master by handing Eggman the tools.

"Eggman?"

"Hey, you're awake. So, how's hedgehog season going?" Eggman asked with a cheerful smile.

"You'd be glad what I had done. Here." Knuckles puts down 2 chaos emeralds, causing Eggman to squeal like a fangirl.

"Oh, Knuckles, thank you so much! Now with 5 more left and Sonic is going to bite the dust! I knew you're an amazing friend!" Eggman celebrates while hugging Knuckles with joy, causing Knuckles to push Eggman off of him.

"There's something I have to say. Who is Aleena Sylvannia? Sonic's mother from 4000 years ago." Knuckles asks a complicated question.

"Excuse me?" Eggman halts with confusion.

"Just like my parents, Aleena was from ancient history, meaning Sonic, his sister and I weren't meant to exist without Chaos Control." Knuckles is questioning who he was and why he exists.

Eggman is getting a theory popping in his head, making him think about who Sonic and Knuckles are.

"Chaos Control… Just like how Sonic dismantled my machine, it controls time and space, meaning… The green chaos emerald is the reason behind it." Eggman points out while picking up a green emerald and scanning it through his newly made glasses.

Eggman places 2 emeralds in his machine as it's about to start.

"Knuckles, just because Aleena is a good hearted woman, doesn't mean her children are the same. Sonic is still a delinquent and his little sister is bratty, so take it with a grain of salt and never believe in their lies." Eggman is still pulling another manipulation on Knuckles while cheering him up.

"You're right. Sonic and Tails are trying to trick me. I knew I could count on you, Eggman." Knuckles nods with confidence and raises his fist.

"That's right. What are friends for?" Eggman widens his evil grin, thinking Knuckles is still as gullible as always.

Mecha Sonic still stares at Eggman and Knuckles, making Mecha Sonic scan Knuckles as a way to learn Knuckles' power.

After he finishes scanning, Mecha Sonic walks away and looks at the sky as the bird lands on his nose, making Mecha Sonic follow the wildlife by leaving Eggman and Knuckles.


Prison Island

An island where criminals are being put inside as a way to prevent them from escaping as the island itself is isolated from any countries and islands.

The one standing on a rooftop is the same man who Eggman employed, Agent Stone who is riding on a robot with an axe called Hey Ho.

With Agent Stone placing targets on Sonic, Tails and Amy, his intent is to capture them and bring them to Eggman as a way to get back at Team Sonic.

While stepping on a robot and climbing in like a suit, Agent Stone finally puts on a robot cylinder helmet and then boosts away from the island and heads towards Angel Island.


Back to Angel Island at Mushroom Hill, Amy's ear twitches which causes her to turn around with caution and raise her Piko Piko Hammer.

"Guys, another Eggman robot's incoming." Said Amy.

"Geez. One day and Eggman is going all out on us." Tails sighs with annoyance.

"I mean, the more the merrier. It's better than fighting a thieving echidna who takes our chaos emeralds." Sonic said calmly while moving his arm.

"You mean you lost it!?" Amy exclaimed.

"Sonic, how? Why did you lose it?" Tikal asks, shocked that Sonic had lost them.

"I don't know, but it's not Chaos Control. Knuckles took 2 emeralds from us." Tails explained.

"Knuckles is sneaky when you're near him. Makes me think that he's more than just punches and ego." Sonic laughs while he stands guard.

"It's coming!" Amy alerts her group to surround Tikal while checking their surroundings.

Another battle in a single day and no breaks are taken this time.

It's as if Angel Island is being heavily guarded by Eggman's troops.
