“WHERE ARE THEY?!” exclaimed one of the Master Four.
All of Team JAG was put on red alert after the simultaneous attack of worlds by the Brotherhood of Darkness, and for reasons still not fully known. The attacks, however, were not the main reason for the highest alert to go off, but the fact that Chaos Control had taken place on Mobius, and Tails and Cosmo were nowhere to be found in that world or dimension, or any other for that matter. Team JAG Headquarters began the ultimate search party, having those of every world available to search and locate every place possible for signs of the two, as well as scanning each universe as a whole by some of the greatest technologically advanced minds of the heroic syndicate. Team Sonic were already there, in the headquarter’s computer and networking command center when the Master Four – Jason, Ash, Gohan and Yugi – had finally arrived, and none of them were pleased with the news of the chaotic disappearance. The warrior of Darkness of the four was the one who made the exclamation upon arriving, and in his current temperamental state, was in no mood of more bad news.
“I NEED ANSWERS AND NOW! WHERE ARE THEY?!” Jason yelled out with fury.
“We’ve have conducted a full dimensional scan for every known universe, plus various scans of each known planet,” said Jeremy Belpois, the computer genius and leader of the Lyoko Warriors. “It was only implemented half an hour ago, so we’re still fresh into the process.”
“Have you picked up any other traces of activity by the Brotherhood?” Yugi asked.
“None since Chaos Control,” answered Bulma, the Capsule Corp. successor and scientific mastermind of the Z Warriors. “Whatever was going on above Mobius must have been the whole reason everything started in the first place. Some source of Chaos Reaction was probably on that ship that caused it to occur.”
Gohan nodded and replied “You’re most likely right, but that still doesn’t answer where they could’ve gone to. Chaos Control is too mysterious to pinpoint exactly any given destination.”
“I’ve gotten to tell,” stated Donatello, a large turtle who, along with his brothers, train in ancient martial arts, and his team’s scientific expert. “I’ve tried to implement the Chaos Theory into this, but at the same time use a form of reverse engineering to try and approximate a single point of tangency on the lines of all interconnecting dimensions. So far my results are all inconclusive, showing that not a single place we know of could be a destination point.”
“Keep at it, Donnie,” encouraged Ash, “and if you can, keep in touch with any search parties across the worlds.”
“Way ahead of you,” said one sitting between Jeremy and Donatello. This genius was Wade, a technological mastermind and friend of Kim Possible and her fiancé, Ron Stoppable. “All but a handful of worlds have begun in their searches once you put out the order. I’ve been monitoring and directing each team that’s checked in so far.” An alert went off, and displayed on the center’s main screen was Finn and Jake by one of their world’s holo-gems.
“Hey guys,” said Ooo’s human hero. “We’ve got everyone we can searching across Ooo as we speak. Marceline’s covering the Nightosphere for us and the princesses have sent out guards with missing posters to spread the word. Our next stop is the Ice Kingdom.”
“Great work, guys. Report back with whatever you find out immediately,” instructed Ash.
“Will do,” stated Jake, but then grumbled to himself “Still have to miss the next ice cream marathon,” and at that point, the connection was cut off as Finn went “Jake!”
Next to speak was Chuck Thorndyke, a longtime friend of Team Sonic and Team JAG’s, who sat in as the computer center’s second commander. He stated “I don’t know what more we can do. We’ve started every form of search possible and are looking through every dimension one by one, but it could take days, or worst case months, before we can find even a trace.”
“Well we have to think of something,” Knuckles said in his stubborn tone. “Who knows where they’ve ended up or what they’ve gotten themselves into. If it wasn’t for whoever controlled that ship,…” His words then turned into growls.
“I bet you my hammer that it was that monster Dark Oak. He’s wanted nothing but to torture us for years, especially those two,” Amy added, but her anger was different, having turn to worry quick. “Wherever they are, I hope they’re alright.”
“Who knows,” said another voice, this one coming from the lead commander of the search and all related operations- Dr. Eggman. “Chaos Emeralds tends to leave a scramble of confusion when it happens without proper control. There are no limits to the theories of what could’ve happen, except for that the two are gone, and what we are doing now is the best we can do. I’ll watch over every step and process, but until the time comes,…”
Jason then interrupted by saying “The time WILL come! I’ll be damned if our efforts fail, and Dark Oak and Galvatron find their efforts accomplishing in any way. Nothing we do stops until we make the order, and all available allies will report to their stations when needed, never later.” Addressing everyone in the center, he ordered “If even the smallest signal can be traced, or any DNA source is triangulated, report to the Master Four, the Seedrian Council, and Sonic and his friends at once.”
“Yes sir,” they all replied, and focused back on the mission at hand.
Yugi then stepped over to a worried Cream and Cheese to speak to them, but Gohan saw Sonic standing where he was next to Eggman, and in turn went to stand behind the two of them. When he arrived, he mainly directed his words to the hedgehog as he said “We will find them. They’d do the same for any of us, and like anyone else, are far too important to not put out all our efforts for.”
Sonic just stared out at the many, many computer screens and holograms and projections in the room quietly, not even replying to what his friend had said. He thought back to when Chaos Control sent him and his friends to Station Square, a new world that opened up so many doors to the hundreds through Team JAG. “Don’t worry, guys,” he said in his thoughts. “We’ll find out where you’ve gone, and bring you back home,” His eyes then turned down towards his left hand, where it clenched a glowing gem that was recovered from the battle back on Mobius, which was surprised to be found – a Chaos Emerald.
“…Somehow.”
