Chapter 38: Eggman Again!?
Sonic scratched the back of his head, "What happened there?" JetStream turned, his head down at an angle.
"I don't really want to answer that..." Knuckles was the farthest from him, he looking down from the Tower.
"The sun is setting once again..." It interested Knuckles to find that this sunset was like the one back home, he's seen many of his own, but these will seemingly forever remain foreign. Where it's actually a seemingly immortal body that drives the celestial bodies as they do. That didn't bounce off of him correctly, and it still bugs him. He turned toward, JetStream, something caught his eye.
"What's that?" he asked himself, he stood up and walked over, JetStream noticed this and turned to him, "Oh, hey, Knuckles."
"I got something to ask you?"
"... What is it?" he pointed toward his flank, JetStream realized what he was meaning, there was a small, unsaturated grey circle right where the cutie mark should be.
"Oh, it's probably just a bruise..." Knuckles just shrugged.
"So, when where we going next?" JetStream nodded.
"Yeah, we only need one." Tails smiled.
"And it shouldn't be too hard." Sonic held his hand up before everybody started walking.
"But we don't know where we're going, and secondly, why don't we just get off the fast way?" he pointed his thumb toward the edge of the Tower, JetStream and Tails smiled innocently.
"Right..." they walked to the edge.
"But how am I going to get down?" Sonic shrugged.
"I guess one of us will?" he answered unsure.
"I'll do it, I'm the strongest." Sonic smiled.
"Right you are, Knux." Tails went ahead and hovered over the tower, Sonic grabbed Tails's hand and they both started decline to the ground below them. JetStream was standing there.
"Uh, how exactly?" he asked, Knuckles gave it a little thought.
"Why don't you hang over my shoulders?" As soon as JetStream did it, Knuckles looked back at him, "It's obvious that I'd want you to hold on, alright?" JetStream gave a nervous laugh.
"Yeah, of course." Despite all sudden safety, Knuckles jumped off the Tower in one bound, but about half-way through, JetStream was slipping, he slipped until he was completely segregated from Knuckles, "Ah! Knuckles!" JetStream covered his eyes, 'Another five story drop is just what I need!' Tails and Sonic noticed this as they landed.
"Look- JetStream!" the cold and quick wind was breezing past him like a meteor going through space, until, he was suddenly slowing. A glow was visible around him as well. Sonic, and Tails looked around, Knuckles did as well once he landed. JetStream felt this sudden change, he held his hoofs away.
"What's happening?" Tails looked around.
'That glow, haven't I seen it before?' An anonymous pony walked up, her horn glowing the same color around JetStream, she looked up, obviously worried.
"Are you okay?" JetStream looked over to her, a body acts funny under this telepathy thing, like there was no gravity at all.
"Yes, I am. Thanks a lot." he gave his thanks to her as he hovered slowly to the ground, she nodded.
"You're welcome." during this whole act, Tails was shocked, Sonic was standing there, apparently his ear was itchy.
"Bias?" she turned to Tails.
"Hmm, oh! Tails, it's been awhile." Sonic almost fell.
"Tails? How come she knows you?" Tails that it through, and turned to Bias again.
"Yeah actually, How come you do know me, I thought I was in the past..." she shook her head.
"Well, whenever you did, I suddenly knew about some character, and that character was you, and I had to see if anything was wrong..." Sonic and Tails stared at one another.
"Whoa, I didn't think it worked that way..." Tails thought, "I may be an engineer, but I definitely can't understand Time travel..." Knuckles gave an unamused smile, crossing his arms. They all laughed, celebrating current events. Knuckles suddenly tensed up, he opened his right eye, he opened the other in surprise, he pushed off the wall he was leaning against to.
"I'm sensing an Emerald..." he walked to the edge of the end of the Tower's area, his teeth gritted and he pointed upward, "I knew it..." Sonic dashed toward him.
"What is it?" seeing this shocked Bias Faith.
'What speed...' Sonic clinched his fist.
"What's Eggman showing up in a place like this?" Eggman was flying with his mobile.
"Sonic! What's that!" something was flying along with him. Sonic couldn't bare this, why is he coming here? Does Sonic really need the answers? he couldn't wait no longer, he looked down to grab the closest, yet biggest, pebble he could find. He went into a spindash. This surprised everyone, even Tails and Knuckles.
"What are you doing?" Knuckles asked, "I rather let him pass." after a couple seconds, Sonic stopped it, only to fling the pebble so fast, it reached Eggman in seconds. And its speed nocked it at a good angle as well, it caught Eggman off guard.
"What was- What!? What are they doing here? ... They're here to stop me are they?" he looked over to the Time Eater, who seemed to be in its actual form, only shrunken, "Let's shown them what you're made of shall we?" he put his hands together, ringing them menacingly, after a seconds passing, he lifted his right arm toward them, "Alright Time Eater, Go!"
