JUST LEAVE IT TO ME

[wontstopjust_go]

[ This was just a minor setback. Nothing major. He just happened to be in what looked like the Chao Lobby... Except instead of entrances into each garden, there were just multiple goal rings.


No biggie.


It's not like the entire world was at stake or anything.


Zipping impatiently to each ring and back again, Sonic's expression was one of confusion and irritation. Sure, he did just blow up the Eclipse Cannon, but things weren't over yet! What if that Egghead had another plan up his sleeve? Just beating Shadow wouldn't be enough. ]

Come on, one of these has gotta be the way back... I didn't even pick up a Chao Key! If I don't get back soon, Eggman might be working on some other dumb plan! I gotta regroup with Tails and Amy!

Tails!

Where's Amy?!

[twotailmechanic]

[He shrugs.] Probably back home.

[wontstopjust_go]

Back home? What? How?

[twotailmechanic]

This place is sort of a gateway between worlds. Your world is frozen in place so when you return, you'll have plenty of time to beat Eggman.

[wontstopjust_go]

....

[ ... ]

Frozen? Like, Chaos Control frozen?

[twotailmechanic]

Pretty much.

[wontstopjust_go]

........ Huh. [ He doesn't really get it but no use dwelling on it! ] So, what is this place exactly? A gateway you said?

[twotailmechanic]

It's kinda like the special zone, except less crazy. It connects to other worlds and other time-lines. Multiple versions of the same person can show up here and even people we know from different times.

[wontstopjust_go]

[ He punches his fist against the palm of his hand. ] Yeah! That's the ticket! Now I know what you mean!

Multiple versions of the same person?! Woah, so there's more than just one of me here??

[twotailmechanic]

Most likely yes. I wouldn't be surprised if there another me around here somewhere.

[wontstopjust_go]

Woah, this just got a lot cooler!

[twotailmechanic]

[Totally not surprised by that reaction.] Even if multiple versions of Eggman show up?

[wontstopjust_go]

........ Oh, I didn't even think of that.

[twotailmechanic]

Yeah I'm pretty sure this place isn't going to be exactly picky.

[wontstopjust_go]

Well, at least it won't get boring around here!

[twotailmechanic]

At least.

[wontstopjust_go]

So... if you're all okay then, what... world are you from?

[twotailmechanic]

Hmm... What was happening back home before you ended up here? [He wanted to know how far back in the past this Sonic is from.]

[wontstopjust_go]

Uh, I just blew up the Eclipse Cannon. I was heading back to you and Amy.

[twotailmechanic]

[Just as he thought.] Ah okay. Looks like I'm five years ahead of you then.

[wontstopjust_go]

F-Five years?!

[twotailmechanic]

[He nods with a smile.] All I'll say is that you're going to be fine.

[wontstopjust_go]

Well, duh! I already knew that. Nothing's gonna take me down! But wow... Five years! You... don't really look all that different.

[twotailmechanic]

Not really. Sure I'm 13 now, but the future isn't that much different.

[wontstopjust_go]

So nothing's really happened?
