Chapter 1

Welcome to a New World

In the Mystic Ruins...

As the birds chirped and the wind blew peacefully across the jungle and sky, Tails was sitting under a tree; it seemed that he was waiting for something, "Man, where are those guys? I gave them my radar, it should not take them this long to find them.". Tails said as he was looking at four Chaos Emeralds glowing, "I hope they get here soon, so I can finally begin the experiment!" Tails said excitedly after which, three figures fell from the sky.

"Guys! Finally you're here!" Tails said cheerfully to the three figures who turned out to be none other than, Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles, "Yo! Tails sorry to keep you waiting, but we got 'em." Sonic said with a wink. "Yeah it was quite a hassle, without that radar we'd probably be searching forever well, not forever since I could sense the emeralds anyway." Knuckles boasted. "Well, anyway where are they? We have to get started." Tails asked. Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles then pulled out the three Chaos Emeralds they respectively found.

The three then placed their three emeralds beside the four Tails had thus forming a circle, "So Tails, what's going on, why are you so eager to collect the Chaos Emeralds? I don't remember the doctor doing or planning anything these past few weeks and I doubt he'd pass up this chance to attack us now that we have all seven Chaos Emeralds." Shadow asked. "I know, a slick scientist like Eggman would never pass up an opportunity like this so yeah Tails, what's the deal?" Sonic replied. Tails smiled, "You're right Shadow, Eggman has not made a move yet in weeks and it is strange that we are not being attacked for the emeralds but even if it comes to that remember, you and Sonic are here so the emeralds are safe regardless." Tails answered.

"Hey! What about me?" Knuckles yelled. "Of course, Knuckles you're also one of our main protectors like you are to the Master Emerald." Tails replied after which Sonic laughed, "Yeah Knuckles, with your hard head and gullibility we're definitely safe from an attack by Eggman." Sonic said after which Knuckles grumbled, "Watch it Sonic! Or I'll show you what I find funny!" Knuckles said clinching his fist. "Alright guys, that's enough I think it's time I told you three why the Chaos Emeralds are here and what roll they play in my experiment." Tails said as he stood up.

"Experiment? What do you mean by experiment?" Shadow asked. "Well, one day while I was in my workshop working on the Tornado, my eyes suddenly began to focus on the Chaos Emerald I put inside it, and questions began to fill my mind about the Chaos Emeralds and Chaos Control." Tails explained during which Shadow's eyes widened, "Questions about Chaos Control?" Tails shook his head, "Yes, I began thinking about all the times you, Sonic and the others used this technique and I became intrigued with the technique because of its effect, warping through space and time." Tails continued.

"So you want to see what will happen once Chaos Control is activated using all seven Chaos Emeralds is that it?" Shadow said to Tails smirking. "Exactly! Remember it was said that the Chaos Emeralds amplify the effect of Chaos Control, so I want to see what will happen using Chaos Control with all seven emeralds." Tails explained.

"But, why are you so interested in seeing the effect of Chaos Control with the seven emeralds?" Sonic asked after which Tails smiled at Sonic, "I don't know, maybe I just want to see if a portal that will allow us to travel through time will open or a portal to some alternate dimension, we'll never know until we try!" Tails explained. Knuckles then smiled, "Well I'm all for it, I'm interested now about what will happen, so let's do it!" Knuckles said. "Okay! Guys if you're ready let's form a circle." Tails said as he, Sonic Shadow, and Knuckles got into place.

"Okay! Guys on the count of three we'll yell, 'Chaos Control' as loud as we can, got it?" Tails explained after which the others shook their head with agreement. As the wind blew and the four closed their eyes while taking a deep breath Tails started the countdown, "1, 2, and 3!" As Tails said that, they then opened their eyes, "CHAOS CONTROL!" The four screamed at the top of their lungs, but as their voices echoed everything became silent the emeralds did not seem to react, "Huh? What happened? Did we do something wrong?" Sonic asked. "Impossible! The emeralds should have reacted." Shadow replied. "Well, if we did something wrong, it doesn't hurt to try again!" Tails said smiling.

"Okay! Let's try again, on the count of three we'll do it again..." Tails then stopped and the others knew why, the seven emeralds started to glow and then a huge flash overtook their eyes blinding them, "Ahh! I guess we did it right, now what happens?" Knuckles asked while groaning. As he said that a beam shot into the sky, which then created a black hole; sucking everything into it's path, "Uh Tails? Was there anything in the planning stages of this experiment that suggested this was going to happen?" Sonic said as he looked in shock. "No! But we have to do something otherwise the planet will probably be in danger, Shadow, can you stop this?" Tails replied.

As Sonic turned to Shadow awaiting a response he noticed Shadow losing his footing and was soon lifted into the air towards the black hole, "NO, SHADOW!" Sonic yelled as he ran and grabbed his hand but, was suddenly lifted in the air as well, but his hand was grabbed by Tails, who in turn was grabbed by Knuckles whose fist were embedded into a tree, "Don't worry guys! We'll just hold off here until it closes." Knuckles said to the others, "That seems to be our only option at this point; I don't think that hole will stay open for long." Knuckles continued to himself but, as he was holding on, he saw seven dots fly into the black hole.

"No, that couldn't be! Those must be the..." Knuckles said to himself after which the tree he latched on gave way and it lifted the four of them into the black hole which after doing so, started to close.

In a Distant Forest...

"All right, I'm going out to go fishing for dinner." A voice yelled. "Okay! You be careful out there!" Another voice replied. "Dad, I'm going with you!" Another voice yelled. "Okay! Hurry up, I'm starving!" The voice replied. Two figures then stepped out of a house in the middle of the forest, one was a man who wore an orange gi with a blue shirt underneath and had a blue martial artist belt around his waist with blue wristbands around his wrist, and wore blue boots that had orange stripes as well as having unusual spiky hair, the other who was a teenage boy, who stood as tall as the first but, had upward spiky hair and was wearing a purple looking gi with no shirt underneath and had red wristbands around his wrist as opposed to the others blue and had a red martial artist belt around his waist as well and wore regular martial artist shoes.

"Well, you ready? Those fish aren't gonna catch themselves!" The man said while stretching. "Ready when you are, dad, by the way after dinner, why don't you, Goten, and I do a little sparring?" The boy asked his father. "Sounds like fun! I just hope your mother won't mind." As the two laughed, a hole started to open in the sky, "Look dad, a portal!" The boy yelled. "Uh-oh I think it's the portal to HELL, think they're trying to start trouble again?" The man replied. As they looked on they saw two dots fall from the portal and into the forest, "Okay, dad let's go get them before they get us!" The boy said as he clinched his fist and flew to where the two figures fell with his dad following behind. As they landed where the two figures were the portal then closed, "Huh? They only dropped off two and left. They must have known we were coming huh, dad?" The boy said as his father walked past him and was somewhat shocked at what he saw, "Gohan, they don't really look like they came from HELL do they?" The father said while looking at the two, "You know what? You're right, they don't have halos and they look harmless." he replied.

The father then touching one of the figures glove and shoes, "Hey, little blue guy, you alright?" He said while shaking him, he then turned to Gohan, "Hey Gohan, go check on the orange dog over there to see if he's okay." The father asked after which he complied, "Okay, and uh, dad, I think this one is a fox." he said as he gawked at his dad. "Dad, where do you think they came from if they're not from Other World?" The dad shook his head, "Don't know, but if they wake up, they'll probably tell us." As he said that, one of them was starting to open his eyes, "Gohan, Look! The blue one is waking up!" The dad said.

"Uh, what a wild ride, that was quite a scary ordeal." He said while opening his eyes, but as he opened his eyes, he was instantly startled, "Ahhh! Wh...Who are you?" He screamed as he jumped back which caused the dad to the same, "Tails! Tails, where are you?" He yelled scooting frantically away from the dad, "Calm down little guy, we're not going to harm you." he said smiling. As everything started to cool down, Gohan was still trying to wake the other who was none other than Tails, "So, this is your friend?" he asked. "Yeah, his name is Miles Prower, but we call him, Tails and I'm Sonic, Sonic The Hedgehog." he replied with a wink.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Gohan, and this is my dad." he said as the dad waved and smiled, "I'm Goku! It's nice to meet you, Sonic The Hedgehog." Sonic laughed, "Just call me Sonic, heh, so where are we? Did we go back to the Mystic Ruins?" Sonic asked after which Goku and Gohan gawked, "Mystic Ruins? Where's that?" Gohan replied. But before Sonic could answer having a surprised look on his face, Tails started to wake up, "Uh, Sonic, is that you?" He said as he awoke. "Tails! Glad to see you're okay, I think we're not in the Mystic Ruins anymore." Sonic said to Tails as he stood up.

"What do you mean? Where did the black hole take us? Are we still on Earth?" Tails asked. "Yeah, you're on Earth, why, did you come from another planet?" Gohan replied. Tails shook his head, "No, we're from Earth, we just got here from using Chaos Control." Gohan and Goku gawked, "Chaos Control? So you're not from Other World after all?" Goku replied after which Sonic and Tails gawked, "Other World?" The both of them said at the same time. Gohan then sighed, "I think you guys should stop by our house, so you can explain everything." Sonic agreed, "Okay! That sounds like a plan, lead the way!" As they walked off, Goku stopped, "What's the matter, Goku?" Sonic asked. "Can we get the fish for dinner first? I'm hungry." Goku asked rubbing his stomach.

The others then fell in shock but as they laughed, Sonic looked into the sky, "If we're here, where are Shadow and Knuckles? Did the black hole take them somewhere else? And where exactly are we?" Sonic said to himself as he looked at Goku and Gohan.
