ROBOTHEDGEHOG II: PRINCESS STAR
Parallel Dimensions: Part 1
Whisker Moon and Dee Moon were hiding inside a cave, away from some nasty monsters roaming around the area. Ever since Whisker Moon used the White Star Emerald to warp his sister and himself away from the dreaded drill worm robot's attack, they have remained stranded in this parallel dimension, roaming with monsters.
"Brother Whisker Moon, I want to go home!" Dee Moon said quietly.
"Me too Dee Moon, but it's going to take some time before it can be used to take us back." Whisker Moon said sadly staring at the White Star Emerald now glowing weakly.
The two siblings just remain hidden while the monsters continue to roam, seeking for some prey to feast on.
Meanwhile, with Yumi and her group…
"Many are gravely injured but most of them will recover soon." Run the Healer of Windia announced. "I'm more concerned about Whisker Moon and Dee Moon though…"
"Yeah, we all are." Yumi said.
"Not to mention they disappeared to another dimension along with the Star Emerald." Yumibot said.
"It will take them a couple of days to return…" Amber Claw said.
"Isn't there a way to bring them back safely?" Lisa asked.
"Well, let me see…" Amber Claw tried to think. "If we had two more other Star Emeralds, we could easily create a portal to another parallel dimension…but there are no guaranties that it will be the exact one we're searching for."
"I see…" Lisa said.
"You'll just have to find two other Star Emeralds in order to solve this problem." Amber Claw said.
"Ok, well, I guess we'll see you later." Yumi said. "We still need to find the rest of our friends, but don't worry, we promise we'll bring them back safely!"
"You have our word!" Yumibot said.
"Ok, good luck." Amber Claw said.
With that, the gang said their good byes to Windia and left to who-knows-where, except the strong wind started blowing on their faces again.
"Dammit!" Yumi cursed. "This stupid wind is so annoying!"
"Get over it, we've got work to do." Shadow said.
Yumi groans as they struggle through the wind.
Meanwhile, with Robotboy, Sonic and their friends…
"Thanks for letting us stay over, everything was wonderful!" Lola thanked the elders
"It's the least we could do to thank you for helping save our village from that horrible monets." One elder replied.
"No problem, man, the G-man had everything under control!" Gus said and then everyone glares at him. "What?! I helped too!"
Tommy clears his throat. "I believe it's time we move on." He said.
"Yeah, we should." Tails agreed.
"If you don't mind, I would like to come with you." Mahua stepped forward.
"Of course you can come, right guys?" Gardenia asked the others.
"Sure!" Ratchella and Kit agreed.
"Don't see why not." Knuckles agreed along with everyone else.
"Thank you, you won't regret this." Mahua said as he joined the group.
"Farewell, and good luck!" the elders said their good byes to the heroes as they left.
A few minutes later after leaving the village, Mahua leaded the heroes to the exit of the jungle, as they head for the next location.
"So, where to next?" Sonic asked. "We still need to find the rest of the group as well as the last remaining emeralds."
"The Emeralds are like magnets right?" Tommy asked. "If they found one of them, maybe we can find them as well!"
"Good idea, but how do we know they found one yet?" Tails asked.
"Only one way to find out!" Ratchella said as she pulled out the Red Star Emerald.
Everyone watched the Star Emerald, it started glowing as she pointed at one direction. "The next emerald is that way!" she announced.
"Alright! Let's roll Robodude!" Sonic shouted.
"Okey-Dokey-Smokey!" Robotboy agreed.
"HOLD IT!" Ratchella, Gardenia, Kit and Mahua stopped them.
"What?!" Sonic and Robotboy demanded.
"That road leads up to Skyia, the land above the clouds." Ratchella announced. "You can't just simply rush over there like that!"
"Why not?" Tommy asked.
"It's located way up on top of the tallest mountains in the whole world and is extremely cold up there, due to the fact it can cross the planet's atmosphere." Gardenia explained.
"You won't be able to survive there unless you have the proper gear." Kit explained.
"Even with fur, you would die frozen from its conditions." Mahua said.
Robotboy, Sonic and the gang looked at each other, thinking about their warning. They all soon realize that they made a good point since they were in a different world than theirs. Tommy and Robotboy even remembered that time they went to save Santa from Kamikazi, only it was all a set up to capture Robotboy with a device that could freeze Robotboy's batteries and the same thing could happen again.
"Alright, I suppose you make a valid point." Tommy said to Ratchella and her friends.
"Glad you understand." Ratchella said.
"Only we didn't bring any winter gear with us." Lola said.
"Maybe I can fix that." Tails said as he pulled out a case filled with tiny capsules. "You never know when these might come in handy, so…"
Tails pulled out one capsule, pushed a small button on it, tossed it to the ground and POOF, right where the capsule had landed was now some winter gear.
"Woooow!" Tommy exclaimed.
"Dude! How did you do that?" Gus asked.
"During one of my travels with Sonic, we came across this country that had capsules like these." Tails explained. "I was so fascinated how each can contain about anything inside no matter how big or small they are! So I managed to get some for ourselves."
"Yeah, they were generous enough to let us have some after they learned about our heroic deeds." Sonic added while rubbing his nose.
"That's really handy!" Lola commented.
"So, you have more in there?" Amy asked.
"Of course, I should have enough for everyone." Tails said as he pulled out more capsules.
15 minutes later, everyone was wearing their own winter gear, wholly jackets, gloves, boots, you name it, each with their own respective fur colors. Even Robotboy got his own, along with Ratchella, Kit, Gardenia and Mahua.
"Now we should have enough warmth to reach the top, correct?" Espio asked Ratchella.
"Yeah, this should be enough..." Ratchella said but then added in her mind "I hope."
"Alright, then let's go Robodude!" Sonic said.
"Okey-Dokey-Smokey!" Robotboy agreed.
The robot and the hedgehog went ahead at full speed, while the rest followed them from behind.
Back with Yumi and the others, they were headed for the mountains and the wind was getting much stronger and chilling, much to some like Yumi's annoyance, Lisa and Mimi stick together, Booker and Yumibot struggle to stand, Shadow wasn't about to get brought down by some strong wind condition or low temperatures.
"Maybe we should have brought some winter gear…" Yumi suggested.
"But we don't have any, so there's a problem." Booker said.
"I can just use my flamethrowers to heat up a little more." Yumibot said.
"Forget it Yumibot, it's way too cold, even for your flamethrowers." Yumi said.
"Sis, I don't think I can handle this cold any longer!" Mimi said.
"Just stick by my side Mimi, we'll be fine." Lisa said.
"Are you guys done whining?" Shadow asked in annoyance. "Let's get going!"
"Hey Shadow! Aren't you feeling cold yourself?" Yumi demanded.
"No…" Shadow replied apathetically.
"Hey, even if you're the Ultimate Life Form, I'm pretty sure, even you can feel the cold!" Yumi replied annoyed.
"I can feel the cold, but I'm not going to let that stop me." Shadow said. "Now let's get moving already!"
"Easier said than done." Yumi murmured.
"Just ignore him Yumi." Lisa said.
They continue on climbing the mountain, as they did, the temperature started becoming icier and icier. They could barely take it, Shadow refused to stand down.
"Wait for us…Shadow…" Yumi groaned as she fell onto the snow.
"Yu…mi…" Yumibot suddenly felt her batteries freezing up due to the cold and reverted back into her deactivated form, falling next to Yumi.
"The wind conditions are getting worse…" Booker fell down.
Lisa embraced Mimi, who embraced her back. Shadow looked back and saw everyone unable to continue. "And I thought you'd be tougher than this." He grunted.
"Maybe Yumi was right, we should have brought some winter gear before heading this way." Lisa said as she protected her younger sister from the cold.
Shadow sighted until he noticed both Chaos and Star Emeralds reacting as they glow brighter. "There are a Chaos Emerald and Star Emerald nearby…perhaps several." He announced.
"Can't you wait for us?" Lisa said.
"You can stay here and rest if you want, but I'm going on ahead." Shadow said.
"You're not leaving us are you?" Lisa said. "You should come back with help if you can."
Shadow didn't reply as he warped away. "It was a simple request…" Lisa murmured.
Back with Robotboy, Sonic and the others, they were half-way through the mountain and they were doing good so far, thanks to the winter gear they were wearing, much to everyone's relief, even though they always had their faith on Tails. Then all of a sudden, their Emeralds started glowing even brighter.
"What's going on?" Amy said.
"Another Chaos Emerald has appeared!" Tails announced as he looked at one the Chaos Emeralds.
Then Shadow appears before them.
"Shadow!" Tails exclaimed.
"Fancy entrance you've made there Shadow!" Sonic joked.
"Save it Sonic." Shadow rolled his eyes. "But now's not the time for reunions, Tails, you have any more winter gear?"
"Y-Yeah…" Tails replied.
"Good. Come with me." Shadow said.
"What's wrong with him?" Tommy wondered.
"In order to find the truth, one must seek it." Gardenia said.
Robotboy, Sonic and their friends followed Shadow, until they reunite with Yumi and the others who were freezing to death, causing them to gasp in horror. Tails didn't waste any time, as he brought out some winter gear for them.
It wasn't enough though as the cold was really getting to them. Fortunately Ratchella said there was a cave they could take shelter and stay for a while. They had no choice but to agree and follow her lead. When they find the cave, they immediately take shelter in it, setting up a fire with some logs that Tails had brought in his capsules as well. They leave, Yumi, Booker, Lisa and Mimi sitting by the fire to warm up, Yumibot's batteries were removed so they could defrost.
"It was wise to bring them here to this cave Ratchella, this should provide shelter before we resume to Skyia." Espio said.
"I've been all over, so of course I knew about this cave." Ratchella said. "I remember the first time Kit, Gardenia and I came here, we almost died from freezing until we've managed to miraculously find this cave."
"Yeah, I remember that…" Gardenia said. "It was quite an adventure that was, fortunately we had fire wood with us when we first learned of this place."
"Kit was the one who whined about the cold most of the time." Ratchella giggled.
"HEY!" Kit protested.
Charmy and Gus giggled at Kit's reaction, which resulted her in giving them a death glare, Charmy and Gus react in panic using each other as shields from her rage.
"Kit, leave them alone…you've gave them the glare treatment already." Ratchella said.
"Fine…" Kit exasperated.
"Hey, since we're all together again, do you guys have two or more Star Emeralds?" Yumi asked.
"Yeah, we do." Ratchella said showing the Red Star Emerald she and the others got from Riveria, while Tommy shows the Purple one he and the others got from the Tyrannical Death Cave.
"Great, now listen up!" Yumi explained the situation with Whisker Moon and Dee Moon back in Windia.
"They traveled to a parallel dimension?!" Ratchella gawked.
"Oh no, that can't be good!" Gardenia said.
"What's up?" Gus asked.
"As we explained, the Star Emeralds have the power to allow us to travel into parallel dimensions, however, those dimensions aren't always considered friendly." Ratchella explained.
"How come?" Vector asked.
"Sometimes those dimensions are filled with hostile and territorial monsters." Mahua explained. "They don't like strangers and will destroy you in any way they can."
"Cool! It's like Planet Omega 2! Oh man, that game rocked!" Gus said.
"Planet Omega 2?" Sonic, Ratchella and the others asked.
"A video game from our world, whish Gus got pirated using Robotboy." Tommy growled, as he remembered that episode of his life where he was nearly forced into destroying Robotboy for good.
"Yeah, I can't wait for the sequel!" Gus said.
"Dude, you know piracy is a crime, don't you?" Sonic asked Gus.
"And using Robotboy to pirate a video game, how can you be so selfish?!" Tails demanded.
"Yo, I just couldn't wait for the game to come out, and those things cost a lot as soon as they are released!" Gus said.
"That's still no excuse to use Robotboy for your own selfish needs!" Lola glared angrily at Gus.
Robotboy glared at Gus, ready to beat him to a pulp, Knuckles and Vector joining his side along with Kit.
"GUYS!" Yumi interrupted, everyone looked at her. "Look, as much as I would LOVE to see Gus getting his sorry ass kicked, let's just get back on the topic at hand, please!"
"Ok…" Robotboy said.
"Fine, I'll save my energy for now." Vector said.
"Yeah, same here." Knuckles agreed.
'Gulp' Gus thought to himself, as Robotboy, Knuckles and Vector gave him the Evil Eye.
"Anyway, we need to use those Star Emeralds to save them." Yumi said.
"Ok, we understand." Ratchella said. "However, it is going to take a while to find in which dimension they landed on, so we have to be patient."
"Whatever…" Shadow groaned.
"Hey Shadow, what's the matter?" Sonic nudged him.
"Nothing…it's just this whole going off-track thing bugs me a lot." Shadow said. "Phantonious and his "partner" are probably watching us right now, and we need to get the Emeralds before they get the chance to."
"We know that Shadow but we can't just leave anyone who needs help hanging." Sonic said.
"Sonic right, save people, for Maria." Robotboy said.
"Fine…" Shadow sighted.
"Alright, let's do this thing!" Sonic said.
Ratchella held both Star Emeralds one on each hand and closed her eyes, as she used their powers to locate Whisker Moon and Dee Moon. The others watched.
Meanwhile, back with Whisker Moon and Dee Moon, hey still remain hidden from the monsters lurking around this bizarre dimension. Dee Moon noticed something glowing in the distance on the other side of where the monsters were.
"Brother, look!" Dee Moon pointed it out.
"Is that…?" Whisker Moon noticed it.
"Whisker Moon, Dee Moon, can you hear me?" Ratchella's voice spoke via telepathy.
"Eek!" Dee Moon reacted.
"Wait!" Whisker Moon calmed his sister down. "Ratchella, is that you?" he asked via telepathy.
"Yes it is I! I have managed to open a portal that will send you back to our own dimension, but I won't be able to keep it open for so long!" Ratchella said. "If you see it, then make a run for it!"
"Easier said than done, with all these monsters around." Whisker Moon said. "But we'll try!"
"Let's go!" Whisker Moon told his sister.
"Hay!" Dee Moon agreed.
Whisker Moon and Dee Moon make their way to the portal on the other side. They needed to be stealthy though, or else they will end up attracting attention from the monsters.
Back with the others…
"You found them?" Yumi asked.
"Yes, but I have a bad feeling…" Ratchella said.
"What do you mean?" Tommy asked.
"I'm not sure; I'll let you know if I'm right or wrong." Ratchella said.
"Ok." Tommy replied.
Back in the parallel dimension…
"We're almost there!" Whisker Moon whispered.
"Um, brother?" Dee Moon felt uneasy.
"Not now little sister, we're so close!" Whisker Moon said.
The two were about to reach the portal, everything seemed fine, until…
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAR
One large monster appeared and blocked the way to the portal. It was large, muscular, sharp bladed arms and drooling from its mouth. The monster's roar also attracted the attention of the other monsters, surrounding them.
"Brother!" Dee Moon reacted in fear, hugging onto her brother.
"Dammit, so close!" Whisker Moon cursed.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Ratchella reacted. "Darn, the inhabitants of that dimension spotted them!"
"What?!" Robotboy, Sonic and the others gawked.
"Guys, I have no choice, but I am going to send us all there and help them!" Ratchella said. "Get ready!"
Everyone braced themselves as Ratchella shouted "Star Control" everyone disappeared from the cave in a flash of light.
With Whisker Moon and Dee Moon, things were looking bleak for the two siblings as the monsters closed in, until Ratchella and the others appeared for their aid, as they beat the crap out of the monsters. Robotboy, Yumibot and Gemerl used their punches and kicks, Sonic and Tommy used their Spin Dash, Lola slashed at them with her claws, and so on.
"Fire's Daughter, you came just on time!" Whisker Moon said.
"No problem Whisker!" Ratchella winked.
"No time for reunions." Shadow announced as the monsters recovered and even more appeared.
The big monster roared in fury with a passion at the intruders who dared to interrupt his feast, as he and the monsters prepare.
"Alright, time to party!" Sonic grinned.
"Okey Dokey, Smokey!" Robotboy said cheerfully.
A/N: Here it is! Sorry for the long wait, but it's finally here. I've been pretty lazy or been having writer's block. I'll try to update my stories as soon as inspiration hits me again. Anyway, R&R please, it would make me very happy.
