Trixie’s Eighth Story
Return To The Other World

Chapter One “Coming Back”

In front of Tails’ Workshop Trixie and Tails were just returning to their friends.

“Vicky! Vicky!” Hollered Trixie.

Vicky was about to knock on the door of Tails’s workshop but she stopped when she saw Trixie running out to her, Flame had come too.

“Vicky” said Trixie hugging her friend.
“Trixie? What’s wrong? We’ve looked everywhere for you” said Vicky.
“It’s a long story, but we had another run in with those hedgehogs, and then Eggman and Shadow” said Trixie.
“Who’s Shadow?” asked Vicky.
“It’s a long story, I can tell you when we get inside though” said Trixie opening the door to the workshop.
“Well I’ll be seeing you Tails” said Sonic.
“Ok Sonic, bye” said Tails.
“Later” said Sonic speeding away.

Tails put his new ship in his workshop then joined them.

“So what’s been going on Trixie?” asked Vicky.
“Well Sonic was missing so we started looking for him, and we found out he’d been captured and then we ended up on space colony ark, then everything went haywire so we tried to stop it, we won in the end but the emeralds aren’t working, one of those hedgehogs did something with the master emerald, tomorrow we’re going to go see if we can find it” said Trixie.
“Yeah, if it’s been stolen again Knuckles isn’t going to be too happy” said Tails.
“Think you could use a hand tomorrow?” asked Flame.
“Sure, we could use the extra help” said Tails.
“Ok, I’m in but I’m not sure who this Knuckles is you’re talking about” said Vicky.
“Knuckles is the guy who guards the master emerald, I’ve known him for a while” said Tails.
“And you think something happened to the master emerald?” asked Vicky.
“Yeah, something had to of, why else would the emeralds stop working?” said Trixie.

Chapter Two “Jewels and Her Ship”

Spike was sitting in front of the window looking out while sitting.

Jewels was at the wheel of her ship, it was very big with lots of computerized stuff, she called Blue over.

“Hey Blue!” hollered Jewels.
“Yes Jewels?” asked Blue.
“Can you take over the wheel? I think I’m going to get some shuteye” said Jewels.
“Sure Jewels, but I’m not as good a driver as you” said Blue.
“Thanks Blue, See you later” said Jewels going into her room and sitting down on her bed.

Jewels wasn’t falling asleep, there were lots of reasons just to sit on her bed and go over the things in her mind.

“ever since Spike got that scar he’s been different, I think he’s upset, I’ve never seen Spike ever get upset before he’s always angry when he’s upset, I hope he’s ok” thought Jewels moving her hand across the bed then laying their holding her head up with her hands.
“I sure hope Rex is alright, if the master emerald isn’t working that means he must have gotten into trouble” thought Jewels.
“I sure hope he was able to hold out, I miss him, maybe I should have been nicer to him when we left” thought Jewels kicking the air.

Jewels sat up.

“Well, when Spike says I need to go and do what he says, I know I have to do it, even if it means leaving the ark and never finding out what happened” said Jewels smiling but then looking down and frowning.
“I sure wish I could make sure that dummy’s alright, I guess I’ll just have to deal with it” said Jewels.

Power overheard Jewels and knocked on the door.

“Come in” said Jewels.

Power walked in.

“What’s wrong Jewels?” asked Power.
“Nothing…I’m fine…” said Jewels.
“Look I know you and Rex like each other, as hard to put up with as he is, but you always have to put the Master first” said Power.
“That’s easy for you to say, you’ve worked with him before I even joined the team, you’ve been his right-hand-man for a very long time, and I didn’t say I missed the Dummy, I’m just wondering what he’s done to the master emerald that could have made the emeralds stop working” said Jewels.
“you are the second in command, the Master himself appointed you, I may have known him longer but it appears he trusts you the most, and are you sure the emerald is all you’re thinking about?” said Power.
“Yes, I keep telling you Rex isn’t why I’m concerned, I’m having trouble trusting  Spike, ever since he had a run in with that hedgehog all he seems to think about is getting back, what dose he want with him? To get rid of him once and for all? I know he’s the leader and all but why can’t he tell us what he wants with that hedgehog? I don’t want Spike to change just after a fight he lost” said Jewels.
“It’s up to the Master to give the orders and us to follow them, that’s all we need to know” said Power.
“I know…it’s just…” said Jewels.
“It’s ok Jewels, Rex is a strong guy he’s just clumsy, for all we know he could have dropped the emerald on something and it broke, you know Rex, so I’m sure that’s all that happened to the master emerald, and the Master is a very unpredictable guy, but he trusts us” said Power.
“Thanks Power...I needed that…” said Jewels.
“No problem Jewels, just don’t let anyone know I can be a softy at times k?” said Power.

Jewels smiled as Power walked out the door then got into bed, but still couldn’t get to sleep.

Chapter Three “Walking to Windy Valley”

Vicky was tapping her fingers thinking, on the table they were all sitting at.

“Well I’m sure you must be pretty tired, I guess we’ll be going” said Flame.
“Ok I’ll see you guys tomorrow” said Trixie as her friends went out the door.

Vicky and Flame were walking home together.

“So Flame? Why are you tagging along too?” asked Vicky.
“The thrills of battle why else? What about you Vicky?” said Flame.
“Me? I love taking out my hammer in battle” said Vicky.
“I’ve noticed” said Flame with a laugh.
“Well you like to fight too, also I don’t want anything to happen to Trixie” said Vicky.
“You seem to like her a lot” said Flame.
“She’s my best bud, why else would I tag along?” said Vicky.
“Trixie’s fine, but she’s not really the same way she was before the forest” said Flame.
“I don’t think any of us are the same, but Trixie…” said Vicky but stopped their.
“It’s not her fault for what happened at Spike’s old base, he wondered off, and then in the end he saved us, it was years ago, Trixie wont forget him but maybe she’s healed some” said Flame.
“He was my friend also, whenever I hear that name I have an offal feeling” said Vicky.
“Yeah, I miss him too, but if it weren’t for him none of us would be here” said Flame.
“Yeah you’re right, I just feel bad for Trixie, besides that, those hedgehogs ruined my life too” said Vicky.
“I wouldn’t have guessed Blue was a spy either, he doesn’t look anything like one of Spike’s gang” said Flame.
“He won’t after I get done with him, the only reason I let him go off with his team last time was because Tails needed to build his machine to get us off that planet, if I fought Blue something could have gotten damaged” said Vicky.
“Cool down Vicky, its ok” said Flame.
“Sorry” said Vicky.
“No problem Vicky” said Flame.
End chapter

Chapter Four “Meteor Shower”

Spike was eagerly waiting to catch up with Shadow and Eggman again, but he couldn’t see them.

“Jewels?” called Spike.

Spike went up to the wheel of the ship.

“Blue? What are you doing at the wheel? That’s Jewels’ job” said Spike.
“Sorry Sir, Jewels gave me orders to steer the ship, she hasn’t slept in two days since we left sir, she’s very tired” said Blue.
“What’s been wrong with Jewels lately? Well I guess she can be excused this time, but she’ll take the responsibility if anything goes wrong” said Spike.
“Yes Sir” replied Blue getting back to steering the ship.

Power came out of the hallway that led to Jewels’ room.

“Power?” said Spike.
“Yes Master?” asked Power.
“Where have you been? I thought you were on the look-out post, and you were supposed to be checking the readings” said Spike.
“Forgive me Master, I was helping our Second in command” said Power.

Spike sighed.

“This is getting out of hand, what’s wrong with her?” said Spike.
“Well, I think she’s worries about Rex Master” said Power.
“Rex? Oh well Rex will come in time, he won’t disappoint me, if he dose he doesn’t deserve to be on this team” said Spike.

Blue stared over at them, and felt a bad feeling when Spike was talking about disappointing; he started thinking of how he failed on his last mission, and started wondering why Spike didn’t get mad at him.

“Yes Master, might I ask what you think happened?” asked Power.
“It doesn’t matter, all that matters is finding that Master emerald, and talking back the Chaos emeralds” said Spike.
“What about the black hedgehog Master?” asked Power.
“I’ll take care of him once I have the chaos emeralds working” said Spike.

Blue was not watching where he was going, he was listening to the conversation Spike and Power were in and got the ship strayed into a meteor shower.

“Blue? Can’t you steer this thing straighter?” said Power.
“Blue? What are you doing?” asked Spike.
“I’m sorry Sir, I’ve gotten us in trouble” said Blue.

Power started going down the hallway.

“Jewels, you need to wake up now!” said Power.
End chapter

Chapter Five “Going Out Of Control”

Jewels jumped out of bed.

“What’s wrong Power?” asked Jewels.
“The Master’s calling for you” said Power.

Jewels ran to take the wheel of the ship.

“What’s going on Blue?” asked Jewels.
“I’m sorry Sir, I’ve failed my orders again” said Blue in a sad voice.

Jewels tried steering out of the meteor shower, a meteor as big as the ship was coming at them.

“Spike! That’s not a meteor!” shouted Jewels.
“Then what is it?” asked Spike in a growling voice.
“It’s some type or warp-zone or something, it’s heading straight at us!” shouted Jewels taking over her ship’s engines.

“Blue, take the engines controls and boost all emergency power!” said Jewels.

Blue went over and took the controls.

“It’s no use, we’re heading straight into it” said Blue.
“Jewels! Stop resisting, you’re going to make us loose all the ships power!” said Spike.
“No! I can make it! I can get us out of this!” said Jewels.
“That’s a direct order!” said Spike.
“I can do it!” said Jewels boosting up the power and engaging a shield.

But Jewels’ attempt failed and the lights on the ship started shutting down, and the warp-zone covered the ship, after that the ship was missing, the ship and everyone were gone; all that was left was a small piece of metal drifting in space.
When Jewels opened her eyes she could see she was on the outside of her ship that had crashed, she pulled herself up.

“I didn’t want this to happen…” thought Jewels.

Spike was on top of the ship; Jewels could see him knocked-up from impact.

“Spike?! Are you alright?!” said Jewels grabbing Spike and trying to get him to wake up.

Spike grabbed Jewels’ hand.

“What is the meaning of this?!” said Spike.
“Sorry Spike…I…” said Jewels.

Spike got up.

“You shouldn’t have used all the power, I was hoping to use the power to warp us someplace else but you used it all trying to get us to turn” said Spike.
“I’m sorry Spike…” said Jewels.
“You have failed your duties, I ordered you not to use the power but you did anyway” said Spike.
“Well I tried!” said Jewels.
“Oh you tried did you? Well it didn’t work, and what’s worse is you didn’t trust me, I am the leader Jewels, not you! You are to do what I say!” said Spike.
“Well maybe you don’t need me on your team then, I’ve tried to do what you say but all you care about is revenge!” said Jewels.
“Stop this instant! I order you to sit down and stay quiet if you think you can at least do that, you stay here while I find the other members of my Team, then we’ll see what is to be done next, and when you joined my team you agreed that I was to be the leader, if I want you to do something you are to do it, my trust in you is growing thin Jewels” said Spike.
End chapter

Chapter Six “Orders”

Jewels sat there waiting for Spike to return.

“I’m just a stupid Dummy, I shouldn’t even be the one calling Rex a dummy when I’m a bigger one” thought Jewels.

When Jewels looked up she saw something in the distance, like somebody fighting a robot or something, Jewels could make out the person saying “Ha! Think you can beat me do you? Well I don’t think so metal heap!”

“Who is that?” thought Jewels getting up squinting trying to make out who it was that was fighting the robot.
“Whoever it is sure is teasing that robot” thought Jewels as she saw the hedgehog playing with the robot before it smashed it to peaces.
“Hey you! Who are you?!” shouted Jewels.

The hedgehog looked at her in amassment; Jewels still couldn’t figure out who it was.
He started running to Jewels.

”Jewels!!!! It’s you!! I never thought I’d see you again!” shouted the hedgehog grabbing Jewels and hugging her tightly.
“Rex! Oh thank goodness it’s you!” said Jewels hugging him back.

Jewels was happy, but she gently pushed Rex away nervously when she realized she was hugging him.

“Jewels, I can’t believe it’s you” said Rex.
“After all we’ve went though you should be surprised I’m still alive, couldn’t you have at least taken care of that emerald instead of nearly having us destroyed?” said Jewels.
“Destroyed?! I’m so sorry Jewels, I would never want to put you in danger, Red just showed up again and everything went crazy after that” said Rex.
“You mean that Knuckles guy? I thought you took care of him” said Jewels.
“Not exactly, he came back wanting the master emerald, we went through the portal when it was acting freaky then the war started” said Rex.
“War? What war?” asked Jewels.
“Do you remember the planet we were taken too? Well that’s where we are now, and there’s a war going on and there’s something freaky with the time zone here too” said Rex.
“What? Oh great not again” said Jewels.
“Worse then that the leader knows I’m here, along with the rebels” said Rex.
“I’ve never heard you talk like this before, what do you mean rebels?” asked Jewels.
“Melody and Lex are the leaders of the rebels, while the Blake guy is the leader of this world, he said it’s all his and forces everyone to do what he says, He’s the boss of this world and the others guys aren’t taking to kindly to it so they’re fighting, I got mixed up in the war and now I’m a so-called wanted criminal” said Rex.
“Wanted? Rex how long has it been since you got here?” asked Jewels.
“A month maybe more, I’m glad you’re here Jewels I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you” said Rex.
“Oh you big dummy, get to the point” said Jewels smiling.
“The point is I’m wanted for stealing the master emerald, I have no clue why or how they knew it was the master emerald, but Red is fighting here too, and now I’m having robots chase me” said Rex.
“Well at least we now have some explanations, Spike isn’t really in a good mood at the moment but he’ll be happy for some answers” said Jewels.
“The Boss is here? Well that’s good, how did you end up here anyways?” said Rex.
“None of your beeswax, now we’ll wait for Spike to come back then we’ll tell him everything” said Jewels.
“What? Why can’t we just go find him now?” asked Rex.
“I’ve been ordered to stay here and wait” said Jewels.

Chapter Seven “The Light”

Trixie was looking at her window while making her bed when she saw something.

“Hey Tails, look at that” said Trixie pointing out into the sky.
“What do you think that is Tails?” asked Trixie.
“I’m not sure, it’s too big to be a shooting star, but it’s all lit up” said Tails.
“It looks like its heading straight for us, but it’s a long way off” said Trixie.
“To be safe we’d better go find Vicky and Flame and try to figure this out” said Tails leading Trixie out the front door.

Vicky and Flame met up with them when they looked back seeing them calling for them.

“Is everything ok Tails?” asked Flame.
“I’m not sure, look up in the sky” said Tails looking up.
“What is it? It looks like a big light that keeps getting bigger and bigger” said Flame.
“What should we do? What is it?” said Trixie wonderingly.
“I don’t know, Flame is Tim ok? Have you guys seen Dip and Mint?” asked Tails.
“Tim’s at home playing with his army men” said Flame.
“I saw Dip and Mint yesterday, they seemed fine to me, why Tails?” asked Vicky.
“I don’t know, I just think we should keep everyone together incase that light is something not good” said Tails.
“Ok, let’s go to my house then, we can meet up with Dip and Mint after we get my little brother” said Flame.

Everyone started for Flame’s house, every time they looked up the sky seemed to shrink a little and the light got bigger.

“Do you think somebody’s doing this?” asked Trixie picking up her pace.
“I don’t think so, Angie or even Shadow couldn’t do anything like this” said Tails.
“How do you know?” asked Trixie.
“I don’t, but have you ever seen them do anything like this?” asked Tails.
“I guess you’re right, Shadow’s concerned for the chaos emeralds, and if Angie helped me like you said she did then she’s not that heartless” said Trixie.
“But Angie on the other hand may have healed you just to get us to leave” said Tails.
“Maybe” said Trixie.

Flame reached the door of his rickety old house to see Tim waiting up for him.

“Tim! Are you ok?!” shouted Flame as he got to his brother.
“Relax I’m fine Jake, you seriously need to chill like me not be such a hot-head all the time” said Tim.
“Very funny, since I’m the fire guy are you were the ice guy, well I have a reason to be paranoid, have you seen the sky recently?” said Flame.
“Yes I was wondering about that too, is something going wrong?” asked Tim.
“I think so lets go, we’re going to go see Dip and Mint and see if they’re ok” said Flame.
“Ok Bro, right behind you” said Tim following after Flame.
End chapter

Chapter Eight “A Light Closing In”

Trixie Tails Vicky Flame and Tim were on their way to Dip and Mint’s house.

“Hey guys? Is everything ok?” asked Mint looking out the window.
“Mint, go get your brother and meet us out here ok?” said Vicky.
“Ok” said Mint going up to her brother’s room.

Mint tiptoed in and started shaking the bed.

“Dip wake up!” shouted Mint.

Dip screamed and fell off the bed.

“Mint, how many times have I told you not to wake me up with a scream?!” said Dip covering his ears.
“Sorry, but Vicky and the others want us to come outside” said Mint.
“Outside? I wonder what about” thought Dip getting his shoes on and heading downstairs with his sister following him.
“What’s up?” asked Dip.
“You must have been asleep, if you look up in the sky you’ll see a light, we’re not sure where it’s coming from or where it’s heading” said Vicky.

Dip looked closely at it.

“It looks like one of those warp-zones Tails told us about” said Dip.
“That’s what I was thinking, but its offal big for a warp-zone” said Tails.
“What do warp-zones do?” asked Tim.
“They either transport you somewhere, or destroy what it touches” said Tails.
“I sure hope it isn’t the second answer” said Flame.
“Me too, so Tails what do we do?” asked Tim.
“I don’t know, I think it’ll be reaching us in about an hour or so…” said Tails.

Suddenly the light covered them quickly, and Trixie and here friends could see themselves disappearing.

“What’s going on?!” exclaimed Trixie.
“I don’t know! I think we’re being chaos controlled!” shouted Tails.

The light was gone and Trixie and everyone were missing.
End chapter

Chapter Nine “Spike’s Team Found”

Spike was looking around the ship for the rest of his team; he found Power and Blue looking around themselves.

“There you two are” said Spike.
“My Master, may I ask if you know where our second in command is?” asked Power.
“Jewels is fine, I had her stay and wait for my return” said Spike.

Blue looked up at Spike.

“I’m sorry Sir, I’m a failure” said Blue in a quiet voice.
“I can not overlook you this time Blue, if you are to be on my team you are going to need to learn to pay attention” said Spike.
“Yes Sir” said Blue.
“Good now let’s go and get back to Jewels, then figure out where we are” said Spike running with Blue and Power running behind him.

Jewels and Rex were talking, and then they heard Spike run up to them.

“Spike, I found Rex” said Jewels.
“Where have you been?! I might have the chaos emeralds now if you hadn’t have drained their power” said Spike.
“I’m sorry Boss, the Master emerald got taken because the Leader wanted it along with the so called Wanted Criminals” said Rex.
“Why are you wanted? And what are you talking about?” asked Power.
“Well we’re on the other planet, Melody’s planet, and besides that I’m wanted for trying to get the emerald, I was attacked by tons of robots, I was fighting the last one when I met up with Jewels” said Rex with a smile.
“Oh is that all?” said Power sarcastically.
“Rex, how did you end up here? And why are we here?” asked Spike.
“Well Boss, Red ruined Jewels’ portal and then I got zapped here, and about how you ended up here, I think it was one of those warp-zones that the emerald sent off” said Rex.
“Warp-zones?” asked Power.
“It’s a kind of transporter that the master emerald I guess sends out to get the chaos emeralds near, right when the master emerald got here two shot out, one I guess got you guys I’m not sure how, it’s all Greek to me” said Rex.
“Well then, we must retrieve the master emerald” said Power.
“I don’t know if you can do that, the leader guy Blake’s got it now” said Rex.

Spike gritted his teeth hearing that name.

“Lead us to his base then” said Spike.
“I can Boss, but we wont get through it, that base is harder to break into then any of our bases, even that Eggman guy’s got nothing on this” said Rex.
“Did I ask for more details?” asked Spike.
“No Boss, It’s just I’ve been here for like a month and it wouldn’t all be robots we’re fighting, the leader’s soldiers are here and there’s this guy that’s like supposed to be the greatest warrior ever besides the leader himself, I’ve met up with Melody and her gang and they’ve been found out, they took the raccoon guy in along with like fifty rebels, now only like twenty rebels and Melody and Lex are left” said Rex.
“That girl again, how’d you find her?” asked Spike.
“We bumped into each other Boss, she asked me a lot of questions after that, I didn’t tell her anything except that I got lost here they asked a lot about the chaos emeralds” said Rex.
“Would it be best to ask them about the base? Maybe they know how to break into it” said Power.

Spike thought a moment.

“Well then, I guess we’ll be paying them a visit” said Spike.
“But Boss I’m not really on they’re good side, they know I’m not a fan of this leader guy but they didn’t really take kindly to me” said Rex.
“Dummy will you stop talking and let Spike speak, no wonder they didn’t take kindly to you” said Jewels bumping his shoulder.
“Alright looks like we’re going to that rebel base to ask them a few questions, and then we’ll see about getting that master emerald and teach this leader a lesson” said Spike.
End chapter

Chapter Ten “The Soldiers”

Trixie Tails Vicky Flame Tim and Mint ended up sitting on the top of a building.

“Hey what are we doing on this roof?” said Trixie.
“I don’t know I think we’re on a skyscraper or something” said Tails.

Trixie looked down below and saw a team of hedgehogs.

“Hey? What are you doing up their?!” shouted one of them.
“Oh not this again, don’t answer them Trixie, lets just get out of here” said Vicky.
“Why not?” asked Trixie.
“I just figured out where we are I recognize that guy he’s the one that got us all captured” said Vicky.
“Well then let’s get off of this thing” said Flame.
“We can’t this building has no stairs it looks abandoned and old I don’t see a way down” said Dip.
“I can get us down” said Tails grabbing Vicky’s hand.

Tails started flying down with Vicky.
The hedgehogs noticed this and started running for them armed.

“Tails those guys look fierce fly away from them” said Trixie.
“I’ll fly us down and we’ll face them there” said Tails going lower.

Vicky held on, with her hammer in her other hand.
Trixie grabbed Flame’s arm.

“I can carry you and you can get Tim but I’ll have to come back for the rest of you guys” said Trixie.

Tails landed with Vicky then Trixie landed with Tim and Flame.
The soldiers were all hedgehogs that were wearing long blue army-like jackets and army helmets so it covered their eyes. You couldn’t see what they looked like only that they were a greenish-blue color; the leader had a green army jacket on.
They cornered them.

“FREEZE!” said the soldiers aiming their security weapons.

Tim frowned.

“I would if I could still freeze things” said Tim in a quiet voice.
“Get lost” said Vicky.

The head solder walked out.

“Well who do we have here? I do remember meeting once before, remember me?” said the head in command.
“I remember you plenty” said Vicky in a snippy sort of way.
“Well there’s a warm welcome, I’m afraid you won’t be getting the same in return” said Tai.
End chapter

Chapter Eleven “Captured”

Trixie flew back up to get Dip and Mint, she grabbed Dips hand and Dip was about to grab his sister’s but she took her hand back.

“I’m tired of being cared for, I’ll find a way down myself” said Mint.
“Stop being stubborn and grab my hand” said Dip.
“But I always…Ok Dip” said Mint grabbing hold of Dip.

Trixie landed and everyone was together in front of the soldiers, the soldiers were all armed.

“Are you looking for a fight?” asked Vicky.
“I want you to surrender, you’re the one that’s suggesting fighting, if you want to fight you’ll be gone before you hit the ground” said Tai.
“Think you’re pretty tough huh?” said Vicky.
“I am tuff, but I will not fight you yet since I already have my men to do that for me” said Tai signaling them to aim their weapons at Vicky.
“You have twenty seconds to surrender otherwise you and your friends will pay for it” said Tai.

Flame stepped up to him.

“What makes you think we’d go down so easily?” asked Flame.
“Quite simply the fact I’m prepared to get rid of you, face it you’re not faster then a speeding bullet and my men are trained at being a good shot besides them being the very best in the Leaders grand imperil army with the exception of his personal guards which quite frankly he doesn’t need judging The Leader’s skills, now you have ten seconds left to surrender” said Tai.

Vicky raised her hammer but Flame pulled her hand down.

“I of all people hate to give in, but in this case it could endanger us” said Flame.
“Your friend is smart in agreeing with me, now I’ll take you all in and we’ll see if we can find out whom and why you troublemakers are here” said Tai.

Vicky angrily lowered her hammer and put it back to her side.
Tai’s men handcuffed all of them; Vicky was in front following Tai with Flame and Tim behind her with Trixie Tails Dip and Mint following sadly behind them as they were led out with Tai and his solders.

Chapter Twelve “The Trapdoor’s missing?”

“Rex take us to that rebel base” said Jewels.
“Ok Jewely, but we’re not welcome there” said Rex.
“Why not?” asked Power.
“Well the Boss double crossed the girl making her think he was Sonic last time and now their leader doesn’t trust us anymore” said Rex.
“Well either way, we need information for that leader’s base” said Jewels.
“Ok it’s this way” said Rex leading Spike and his team away.

Rex stopped at a huge tree.

“What’s the hold up?” asked Jewels.
“This is it, I just tapped on it last time and I went through a trapdoor” said Rex tapping on the tree.
“Why were you tapping on the tree the first time?” asked Jewels.
“Stop asking stupid questions and be quiet” said Rex.
“I have half a mind to pound him for making that comment” muttered Jewels.

Rex kept tapping.

“When is the door coming? I don’t see anything” said Power.
“I know it was here, I fell like fifty feet under” said Rex.

Rex kept tapping and basing against the tree.
An hour passed waiting for the trapdoor to open.

“Ok I think we’ve wasted enough time here, lets go to that base” said Spike.
“But it was here I know it…” said Rex.
“If it’s a rebel base, and they’ve been found out, most likely they moved bases” said Power.
“…I guess” said Rex.
“I’m tried of waiting around lets go already, show us where the base is Rex” said Spike
“Yes Boss” said Rex leading the way.

Rex led the way with Jewels and Spike behind, Power behind him and Blue dragging along.

“What is it Blue?” asked Power.
“I’m the week link of the team, and for punishment I get ignored” said Blue.
“You’re not the week link, you’re our spy” said Power.
“Spy? How am I supposed to be a spy anymore when the foxes know I’m a member of this team? I’m week, I may know a lot about Marcel arts but I’m not strong enough to use them and I’m easily distracted” said Blue.
“Then change that, Jewels wasn’t as smart as she is now she learned as she went along, and Rex is ten times stronger then when he started and he was strong to begin with, he just didn’t let on to Jewels which is why she got surprised when she saw him fighting Knuckles the first time, I myself was accepted in this team at a young age and now here I am third in command, that’s why the Master doesn’t get upset with you as much, you’re still learning” said Power.
“I’ll never learn like you guys did, I’ll still never be useful as a spy again” said Blue.
“You don’t know that Blue, now stop jawing and lets keep up with the Master” said Power.
“Yes Sir” said Blue.
End chapter

Chapter Thirteen “Tai and His Men”

Trixie and her friends were still being led by the soldiers

“What now Tails?” Flame whispered in Tails’ Ear.
“I don’t know we’ll sort this out somehow” Tails whispered back.
“So how’d you return here?” asked Tai.
“None of your business” said Vicky.
“Well someone’s testy today, simply a question” said Tai.
“Why don’t you do us a favor and let us go?” asked Trixie.
“Why? I’ve got commands from the supreme leader to look for foxes, one possessing a hammer, one that can use fire, a half blue and purple one, a little mint green one, a blue one with blue covering it’s tail, one with a gold locket, and one with two tails, looks like I’ve got the right people huh?” said Tai.
“Well you’re going to see one that possesses her hammer if you don’t let us go free” said Vicky.
“You try and you’ll be blown away by my soldiers” said Tai.
“Coward, hiding behind your men huh?” said Vicky.

Tai stopped.

“I am no coward, I’m a very powerful fighter, I’d just rather do my job then fight right now” said Tai.
“Really? You sure you aren’t just too scared to take me on in a straight fight?” said Vicky.
“Vicky, this won’t help” whispered Trixie.
“All in do time impatient light pink fox” said Tai.
“The name’s Vicky” said Vicky.
“Whatever, it won’t matter soon” said Tai.
“How’s that?” said Vicky.
“Well when you see the supreme commander I don’t think he’ll be so happy to see you” said Tai.
“What dose he wants with us?” asked Trixie.
“The chaos emeralds, he’s gotten their power source, but he wants the real ones” said Tai.
“Why?” asked Flame demandingly.
“So he’ll be sure this planet is his, if he has the chaos emeralds nobody may disobey him, otherwise he’ll put the emeralds to use” said Tai.
“Oh so he wants them for threat purposes, you’d think he’d be powerful enough not to need them to threaten people if he’s as good as you say he is” said Vicky.
“I will have you stop disrespecting the supreme leader now” said Tai.
“Why don’t you make me?” said Vicky.
“Stop it Vicky, we’re in enough trouble” said Trixie.

Chapter Fourteen “Splitting Up”

Rex was walking quickly to the leader’s base.

“Why is it always a base we have to break into? Why can’t it be an ice cream factory, or a bunny farm? Always a destructive dangerous guarded base, it would be nice FOR ONCE to have an easy mission” said Rex.

Power ran up and stopped Spike.

“Forgive me my Master, but might splitting up help? Perhaps I could look for the emeralds, you and Blue might look the other way for them while Rex and Jewels find the base?” said Power.
“Well I suppose, but I want you here the minute I call you on your communicator” said Spike.
“As you wish Master, which way would you like me to go?” asked Power.
“Whichever way, I’ll go take Blue, Rex you show Jewels where it is and Jewels you look the place over from a distance so we’ll have some info on the base, if you can handle it that is Jewels” said Spike.
“Yes Spike” said Jewels.

Spike took off with Blue while Power turned and went the other way, Jewels and Rex went on too.

“Why is it I always get stuck with you?” said Jewels while walking.
“Because you need looking after” said Rex mockingly.
“I need looked after? You’re the one that needs babysat” said Jewels.
“You know you are REALLY starting to get on my nerves Jewels, I thought you’d be happy to see me after a month” said Rex.
“This time zone must be screwed up, it’s been a week for me, oh well it was nice while it lasted” said Jewels.

Rex knocked Jewels over the head.

“HEY! WHY’D YOU DO THAT?!” said Jewels rubbing the top of her head.
“Hurts don’t it? And I’m the strongest member of the team so it’s worse for you isn’t it? Now you know how I feel, what is your problem anyway?” said Rex.
“You’re my problem, you’re a pain in the neck” said Jewels.
“Look who’s talking, I’m so tired of you calling me dummy, you don’t give me enough credit” said Rex.
“I should be calling you a dummy, it’s your fault the master emerald went missing in the first place” said Jewels.
“It wasn’t my fault Red came back and I did the best I could, I got it at least, do you have any idea how much trouble I went through to get that emerald? I was hoping you’d be proud of me, I’ve proven myself but you just knock me down again” said Rex.
“Well maybe if you did a better job of keeping an eye on it this wouldn’t have happened” said Jewels.
“It’s been a whole month and all I could think about was you and if you were ok, I used to like you until you started pushing me around” said Rex.
“I wouldn’t have to push you around if you would just listen once in a while” said Jewels.
“Fine, I’m all ears Jewels, what is it you want?” said Rex crossing his arms.

Jewels looked at Rex then rolled her eyes.

“Come on, Spike will not want us slacking” said Jewels.

Rex angrily followed Jewels.

Chapter Fifteen “Bumping Into People”

Tai was losing his patience.

“I’m not going to ask you again, stop disrespecting the supreme commander” said Tai.
“Like I said, who’s going to make me?” said Vicky.
“That’s it! I don’t want to hear another word out of you fox, understand? Or I’ll use force!” said Tai.
“I’ll gladly fight you, I’m tired of being led around by people that think they’re better then I am, if you’re tougher then me then prove it” said Vicky.
“I don’t need to prove anything, guards lead them to the base, I’m getting tired of putting up with this” said Tai.

Blue and Spike were combing the area for chaos emeralds.

“….Sir?” said Blue in a quiet voice.
“What is it Blue?” asked Spike.
“I’m sorry I’ve failed you so many times…I’m sorry” said Blue.
“enough, you need to let go of the past Blue, now I didn’t get angry with you so you could have some time to think about what you as a team member are going to do, are you going to start doing as I say and forget about what happened?” said Spike.
“Yes Sir” said Blue giving Spike a half smile.
“Good” said Spike getting back to what he was doing.

Spike was on his way to look for the emeralds, he was about to contact Jewels to see if she found the base but was interrupted when someone slammed into him.

“Hey watch where you’re going” said Spike.

It was a girl hedgehog; she was startled when she saw Spike, she took cover behind a rock and started screaming at him.

“Don’t mess with me supreme leader, I’m not the girl you wanna underestimate!” said the girl.
“I’m not this supreme leader you speak of, I’m looking for his base actually, now who are you?” said Spike.

Chapter Sixteen “Walk To the Base”

Jewels and Rex were on their way to the base.

“Are you sure this is the right way?” asked Rex.
“No, I’m just leading you this way for no reason” said Rex sarcastically.
“Very funny, now how long will it take to get their?” asked Jewels.
“We’ll get their when we get their” said Rex.
“I get the feeling you’re not in a good mood” said Jewels.
“Well what do you expect? I finally meet up with you again and it’s the same old same old” said Rex.
“What do you mean by that?” asked Jewels.
“You know very well what I’m talking about, I’m getting tired of trying, all you ever do is push me around” said Rex.
“How did we get into this again? Look I’m sorry ok, can we just drop it now and get our work done?” asked Jewels.
“Well…ok I guess so” said Rex cheerfully.
“So Jewels, do you think I’m annoying or something? Or do you think I’m cute?” asked Rex with a smile.
“When did this question arise?” asked Jewels.
“You still didn’t answer my question” said Rex.
“Don’t you ever know when to stop talking?  We’re way to far behind as it is, lets find where this base is” said Jewels.
“Ok Jewels, we’re going to be going this way for a while, I remember crashing into that tree I didn’t see coming and when I looked up I saw that base” said Rex.
“You sure have issues with trees” said Jewels mockingly.
“Shut up Jewels” said Rex.

Jewels laughed.

“Come on, lets get going” said Jewels.
“Hey wait up, it’s not like you know the way there” said Rex running to take the lead.

Rex stopped immediately when he saw something.

“Hey Jewels watch out!” said Rex suddenly noticing something heading for Jewels.

A large robot had nearly crushed Jewels with a huge rock but Rex had got on its path just in time and caught it.
Rex threw the rock away.

“Hey bolt brain, why don’t you pick on somebody your own size...like a tank” said Rex noticing the size of the robot.

The robot was huge, about eleven times bigger then Rex, it had a supply of large boulders.

“Come on Jewels lets get out of here!” said Rex grabbing her hand and running as fast as he could.

The robot started chasing them, it finally reached where Rex and Jewels were but they were long gone by then since it was built to be slow but powerful, in pressed a button on itself and a flashing light came on.

“Transmitting data” it said pressing a few more buttons.

Chapter Seventeen “Escaping”

Tai left his team to take Trixie and the others away, Tai’s men were watching their every move.

“What do we do Trixie?” whispered Flame.
“I’ve got an idea, tell Vicky-” started Trixie in a whisper but the rest was too hard to hear since she was quietly talking in Flame’s ear.

Flame whispered to Vicky.

“WHAT’S THAT?!” yelled Trixie pointing.

The guards all looked the other way.
Flame opened his hand and shot fire at Vicky’s handcuffs they burned off Vicky’s wrists and she took out her hammer quickly. Flame burned his off them shot fire at everyone else’s.
The guards looked back.

“Hey they’re escaping!” shouted one of the solders.

They took out their guns and started shooting at them.

“Everybody down!” shouted Flame standing in front of everyone.

He stretched out his hand and fire shot out and a wall stood in front of him and the soldiers.
Tim was on the ground taking cover, he started whipping his tail, but nothing happened.

“I knew it, I’m all out of ice, I’m useless” said Tim.

The soldiers were shooting into the fire, but nothing was going through it.

“Trixie you and Tails get everyone out of ere” said Vicky.
“But what about you and Flame?” asked Trixie.
“Forget us, go!” said Vicky standing beside Flame.

Trixie Tails Tim Dip and Mint rushed out of there, Tim looked back as he saw Flame let his wall down and start fighting.
Tim hurried out of there with the others but then he started going back.

“Tim where are you going? They told us not to stay there!” shouted Trixie.

Chapter Eighteen “The Girl”

The girl took a good look at Spike.
She was purple with blue streaks down her hair, she had her hair up in a ponytail with a headband on the top, she had a camouflage shirt on with dark green pants and had a belt, and her shoes were green and belted across.

“It’s you, I thought you’d never come back again” said the girl going away from the rock.
“Where were you going in such a hurry?” asked the girl.
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that question?” said Spike.
“I don’t know should you? I don’t have to explain anything to you” said the girl.
“Hey Sir its Melody, wasn’t she that girl we met here last time?” said Blue.
“Yes Blue” answered Spike.
“So, where were you going?” asked Melody.
“If you must know I’m on my way to look for a chaos emerald, where were you going?” said Spike.
“A chaos emerald? Here? I thought they all went back with you five years ago” said Melody.
“Five years ago? It’s only been five months since I saw you” said Spike.
“No it was five years ago, I was ten then, now I’m fifteen” said Melody.
“What? You’re fifteen now?” said Spike.
“Follow me, we should talk somewhere safer” said Melody walking up to a tree and tapping on it.

A trapdoor opened and a staircase was their.

“I guess Rex picked the wrong spot last time” said Blue.

Melody led them to an underground base; she sat at a table’s chair that was there.

“So what’s going on?” asked Melody.
“You tell me, we ended up here by some warp-zone or something” said Spike.
“You say it’s been five years? It’s been five months in our world, our timelines must be different” said Blue.
“Must be, I was ten when we helped you guys, and you still never kept your promise” said Melody.
“I never made any promise, you thought I was Sonic, I didn’t say I was you did” said Spike.
“I guess so, but you could have said if you weren’t” said Melody.
“I didn’t have to, it’s not my problem if you couldn’t figure it out, now is there’s a reason you took us down here to talk?” asked Spike.
“We can’t speak in the open about the rebellion, there may be spies in the area, I myself lead the rebellion, but most of us have been captured along with my fiancé” said Melody.
“Who’s this fiancé you speak of?” said Spike.
“I have my own business, you’re not the only one that’s a leader you know, when I was eleven our leader handed the reasonability of being the leader to me” said Melody.
“I still don’t see how this could help me any, I was on my way looking for a chaos emerald until you interrupted me” said Spike.
“I was getting to that, the emeralds I thought disappeared when you went back to your home planet, now you say they’re here?” said Melody.
“I don’t know if they are, but the master emerald is, and why did you think I was that supreme leader when you first saw me?” said Spike.
“Well I was looking for secret files at his base, I was lucky to slip by the guards to get some of their files, but they found me and I had to retreat, and I expected to maybe run in to the leader himself, and you do look shockingly like him, it might be because he’s your father and all” said Melody.
“He’s not earned the right to call me his son, not after when he did to me, and I don’t ever want that spoken again” said Spike.
“Ok Sonic, I didn’t mean to get anything going I just wanted to point out you two look alike and that’s why I thought you were him” said Melody.
“You called me Sonic again” said Spike.
“I’m sorry, I’m used to calling you that from last time, if you had another name you go by I’d be easier for me” said Melody.
“My name’s Spike the hedgehog” said Spike.

Chapter Nineteen “Emerald In the Open?”

Rex was still running holding Jewels’ hand till he realized the robot was gone.
He let go of Jewels’ hand and started rubbing the back of his head.

“Well that was a close one” said Rex.
“You…you just saved me life back there” said Jewels.
“Yeah…I didn’t want that robot to flatten you or anything” said Rex grinning.

Jewels looked around then looked at Rex.

“That was real sweet of you dummy-head” said Jewels putting Rex in a head-lock and rubbing his head.
“Hey that hurts” said Rex laughing.
“Good, now can we please get to the base now?” asked Jewels.
“Sure Jewels, its right over there” said Rex pointing.
“It’s about time we got here” said Jewels irritated.
“It’s not my fault they built their base so far away, anyway shouldn’t you be doing something now? What did the Boss want you to do?” said Rex.
“I’m doing it right now, looking over the base for weaknesses, if I still had my computer this would be a lot easier” said Jewels.
“It wasn’t my fault I hit that tree on your computer when you were building that portal, cant you just fix it?” asked Rex.
“I can, but Spike told me to wait and I wasn’t allowed to move a muscle, meaning I couldn’t search around for my computer at the crash site” said Jewels.
“Why didn’t the Boss just ask you to go with him?” asked Rex.
“…never mind that, lets just start looking for weaknesses” said Jewels.
“Jewels do you see that?” asked Rex pointing to a spot in front of the door of the base.
“Yes, is that the master emerald?” said Jewels.
“If I didn’t know any better I’d say they know we’re here” said Rex.
“But how would they know? We only just got here” said Jewels.
“Looks to me like they put the master emerald out in the open, they must be planning something, if he wants the chaos emeralds, why’d else would he have the one that could stop them out in the open?” said Rex.
“I don’t know, I’d better tell Spike about this” said Jewels opening her communicator, but Rex shut it on her.
“Hey what’s the big idea?” said Jewels.
“Don’t say anything about the Boss, I think we’re being watched” whispered Rex.

Chapter Twenty “Battle With Tai’s Men”

Trixie end everybody stopped.

“I’m going back for them” said Tails.
“But Tails you could get hurt, those guys are armed” said Trixie.
“I’ll be ok” said Tails twirling his tails and flying his way there.

Mint hid shaking behind Dip.

“Oh no what’s going to happen?” said Mint.
“It’ll be ok, Tails will get them” said Dip.

Tim was running back to Vicky and Flame; he stopped a little way from them yelling for them to come with him.

“Jake! You can’t fight all those guards! Forget them! Let’s get out of here!” shouted Tim.
“Set your weapons to stun! The supreme leader wants them for information!” said one of the soldiers.

Flame was waving fire around and shooting them in all directions.
Vicky was pounding her hammer so hard the ground shook.
Vicky could feel something hit her, she fell to the ground, Flame stopped and ran over to her but was stunned to by one of the soldiers too, he fell next to Vicky and the soldiers surrounded them.
Tim started running as fast as he could to them but was stopped by Tails.

“No Tim, you’ll be captured too” said Tails.

Tim was trying to get free.

“I’m not going anywhere without my brother” said Tim.
“If you care about your brother you’ll not get yourself caught too” said Tails.

Tim stopped.

“Don’t worry it’ll be alright, we’ll figure all this out” said Tails taking Tim and flying back.

Vicky and Flame were passed out and one of the soldiers was commanding them all.

“Contact General Tai, he’ll need to know of the captives” said the leading one.
