Today, We will begin our rule.


Today, we will mark there end.


Today...The nothing will open...


Today...The rose blooms.

 The busy bee lobby was mighty active, a little too active, considering the possible bomb threat. There was currently a small Protest being held against Eggamn's current declaration of rule, As they all screamed various things loudly. "We will NOT be brought under the rule of an evil man!" Was the main claim this protest group screamed, as the police force was attempting to quell the current masses. 






"Phew...Works cut out for me today.." A particularly average looking man said, dawning a small badge that implied he was a private detective working for the force of Li, as well as seemingly being the 'Anonymous Source'. "Where are they...should be here any second now, atleast."

    "Woah! What's going on; some kind of a party?" Sonic casually jabbed at one of the people protesting, appearing within an instance. Sure, he had no idea how he had gotten to this world. He didn't know how he could get home. He didn't even know where to buy a chili-dog! However, the day would never come when he'd ignore someone's cry for help. When Sonic found out about the explosives threat and the riot going on, he knew he had to help out before it was too late. It took talking to a few people to locate where this "Busy Bee Lobby" place was; most of which gave him weird looks before giving him directions, but he didn't stick around long enough to ask.

    Upon finally arriving, the blue blur did his best to try and find the person that sent the S.O.S, but the crowd wasn't making it easy at all. Who were they chanting about? Some guy named "Eggman"? "Huh, How bad can a shell-y guy like that be?" He shrugged his shoulders before speeding around the perimeter of the crowd, his form no longer clearly visible except in a blue blur causing a giant blue whirlwind that would hopefully snap the rioters out of whatever frenzy had whipped them into this.

There is nothing here but an angry mob, counteracting what they want.
Given strong rule.
They revolt.
Given full anarchy.
They kill in droves.
People are terrible.

As the masses raged for some time, the small rattle of manacles and chains quelled a few visitors, allowing a particularly rugged looking fellow to approach as if the waves of people were parting for him. Those same that moved stared in disbelief as he approached, before raising a paper with the transcription of E-Mail exchange between the man in the red tie and himself right to the security. He didn't even bother to allow it to register before simply handing it aside, and moving forward with no regard for those in the way. He had places to be and people to meet. Waving the blue blur with a single finger, having only bits of knowledge on his associates, he approached, looking to the man in the red tie and asking him...

"Nice tie. I assume you're a friend of mine."

He stated with ambiguity in his voice, but clearly he was one of the contracted men on the job.

"These people are always raving about good tidings. They get a strong, capable leader with slight egomania, and they revolt because he's done some bad before. Tsk, what I'd give to have that in my home town. 'm Chumai."

The ragged, poor looking man took a seat, and allowed his hands to fold in his lap, resting and relaxing as he let himself release tension from his own mind... To him, this peculiar man was definitely someone of interest, and possibly the one he was looking for in either regard.

"There's a reason you're back here alone, I know it. Perhaps it's something to do with the current, hidden threat."

Tails walked past the protesters as he looked for the informant. He could not help but look at the people that were arguing against Eggman. Their words of not being brought under the rule of an evil man distracting his mind from his goal for a moment. Sonic and him worked together to protect the planet on a regular basis from all sort of destruction. They were a team that protected Earth from any threat that wanted to destroy it or otherwise... But now Sonic wanted to destroy the planet for some reason. Now Eggman was the one that was wanting to defend it? Things weren't adding up and it made the two tailed fox wonder how this started again.

Then a familiar blue blur rushed around the perimeter of the crowd for a moment. It couldn't be... "Sonic?!" Tails exclaimed in surprise that Sonic would try to split up an argument. But a moment afterwards his eyes adjusted to the speed and he realized that was Sonic... But it was the younger Sonic that helped them take out the Eggmans... What was he doing here? Tails thought he returned to his own time.

"... Oh right!" Tails remembered the bomb threat. He had to take care of that as soon as possible. He looked over and noticed a man talking to a man in a tie. That was probably the informant given his seperation from the crowd. Tails ignored the younger Sonic for the moment and ran over to them. "Tails reporting for duty!" Tails stated with a salute. Though he could not really get the confusion that both Sonics were here out of his mind completely.

While a few members of the crowd looked at the blue blur, there attention immediately went back to what was a much more important task at hand. Some even went ahead with asking questions like "Who is that guy...?" "Is that sonic?" "No, that cant be, he's long gone! Who is this faker?!" as some of them became angry at the speedy guy...Best just leave them be sonic, you werent making them feel much better.


The man in a tie looked at the two who had came up to him. "Oh, Hey, There you guys are...I'd suggest you get your friend over here,  before that crowd tears them to shreds, eh?" he asks, laughing a little. Well, a very quick smile, which quickly turned to an awkward sigh, to return to the serious matters at hand. "Alright, so, Im sure you're both ready to hear the mission, Im Tohru Adachi, by the way. I recently managed myself into a personal detective role. Pretty cool, huh?" He asked....Well, Truth be told, he was only a hire-ee Rookie. But nobody needed to know about that!

"Alright, so here's the quick version. The anonymous  sender of our bomb threat told us this...The end would come at the 13th hour. So, the closest we can imagine is that these will blow at 1 PM.  There are three bombs, that need to be disarmed. We've managed to clear the area's. The allyway behind the center building, inside Cafe Koopa-Koffe, and then one final bomb placed somewhere in the crowd. Were currently struggling to get the crowd cleared to search, so, we'll have to wait for that one. So, the cafe's and the Allyway's are the ones to begin with." Adachi said. It seemed fair. 

"Though, There is another problem. Do you happen to know of a monster that is pure white, covered in zippers?" adachi asked, truly stumped. "If you dont, i dont blame you, i dont either...But, According to the police that tried to disarm the explosives before, Monsters of that description attempted to stop them...Very violently. 3 of them were trophified during this attack, so, best not underestimate them...Then again, the police force is pretty incompetent." Adachi admitted, before laughing it off. 


"Well, Best hurry up, right...?"

    In a few more moments of circling, Sonic might have contained the crowd... Until they called him a fake. That reeeeeaaaally pushed his buttons. Stopping on a dime and leaping onto a wall so that everyone in the crowd could get a good look at him; Sonic blew a shrill safety whistle that he had gotten from god-knows-where before throwing it to the side after getting the crowd's attention. "WOAH WOAH WOAH! What did you guys call me?"

    "In case maybe all you crome-domes haven't gotten the memo, let me refresh you." Sonic ran to the left of the crowd to emphasize his speed while making his points. "I'm the master of faster." In another instant he was behind them. "I'm the way-past-cool sensation sweepin' the nation!" The next instant, he dashed through the middle of the crowd, before once again standing on top of the wall with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. "'Numero uno' on Robuttnik's hit list, the scootin and rootin blue blur, THE ONE, THE ONLY..." He shifted his position into the signature pose that every person who'd ever laid eyes on him had seen, confirming without a doubt...

"I'm Sonic. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!"

[Deleted]

"It'd be for the better. If our blue friend's ego gets any bigger, it could crush half the city. You both may need to stand back for this... As well as try to manage that crowd. My plan is simple. Corrode each bomb with acidic saliva, have someone escort them, and make sure it is done as fast I can do it. Be warned..."

Chumai was going to do the unthinkable. He was going to bring out the Hra'goth. This... terrible creature could sniff out the bombs, and hopefully corrode them with acidic saliva. He knew most devices would be rendered useless with that coating of Eldritch enzymes. He was formulating a plan. Turning to face Tails, Chumai studied his ally quickly, facing back to get a good look at the crowd, and then to Sonic, the guards, and back to the red tie... His pupils shifted to become more serpentine, but rather than a roar of panic or pain, he gave a whisper... A quiet voice so sinister it might actually be heroic in nature, but still sound as if a threat.

"...this could get messy."

It was then, and in a sudden turn, he was morphing, a beautiful and grotesque metamorphosis from man to monster. First his left arm, he looked at it, watching in cruel fascination as it contorted and elongated, bulging out as if inflated by sudden testosterone and muscle like breathing in air. His other began to do the same. His feet snapped backward, sharpening into hooves as his very body began to grow, the chains breaking around his shoulders to dangle across his waist. The shorts, at least, remained in tact. His face elongated with the process, horns forming across the top of the head, ears pointing out on either side under them... All he could think about was who he was protection, and what good was coming from this. Before long, he was the Hra'goth...

"Hnn.... Dooohh...b? Nyoh. Booom...b?! Hnn! Grraaah!"

The creature dropped his large snout to the ground, dragging those claws along to try and bull rush Tails, if successful, Chumai put the fox upon his back and dart out towards the first site. In doing so, he was making a B-Line for the first bomb, not even bothering to get Sonic to come along, as he seemed to be crowd maintenance. He seemed to be sluggish to some degree at first, but still mostly in his faculties as far as basic objective, though far dumber now, but faster, and far more durable. Perhaps Sonic's enhanced Charisma could be used to help further the impact of seeing a man turn into such a creature. So much for covert. But this was how he operated. He got the job done by any means. There was nothing to be spared now. No cost that couldn't be cut.

This was the Lavistan mindset.

[Coolshaymin]

Tails looked at Sonic in the crowd as the informant informed them of the bombs and their locations. So there was one inside the crowd that was mocking the younger Sonic. They must be mistaking him for his older counterpart... He probably could handle the bomb in the crowd... Or at least make it safer. Tails would rather put the reunion on hold for now...

"Never heard of them. I don't think there is anything like that in the Life Sphere records," Tails stated as he pulled out the Miles Electric. "Corrosion sounds like it could disable the bombs. Safer than trying to hack into them," Tails stated as he tried to find the data... Until he looked up and saw Chumai seeming to change a little. And then there was suddenly some kind of monster.

Tails reflexively stepped back in size until hearing the monster speak... The words did not sound hostile or anything and it reminded him of something. Sonic once was under a state where he would turn into a Werehog at night... And even though he looked radically different he was still Sonic.

That realization did not help the sudden surprise of him lunging at Tails though. "Woah!" Tails cried for a moment before landing on the back of his ally. His realization that this was the same person just in a different form did help him recover from suddenly being flung onto a back. "You're kind of like the Werehog. Though you look different you are the same... Okay! Let's take care of those bombs!" Tails analyzed before quickly seeing if he can find anything else on these 'zipper' guys.

"Oh shut the hell up!" One of the protesters said, a man came out of the crowd, angrily glaring at the young sonic. "Sonic is gone, and that 'Robuttnik' you love to go on and on about is currently trying to lead this civilization down the shitter as we speak! I dont know what the hell you're trying to prove here, except to piss us off! Now, do you want to help us? then GO AWAY!" The main said, the rest of the protesters cheered him on in telling sonic off before going back to fighting against a butting police force, trying to make room so Tails, Chumai and Sonic could disarm the hidden explosive here....

---

Meanwhile with the actual plot, The chumai would soon find himself lunging toward the first site, an ally way behind the center building...


The alleyway was stone, trash and junk strewn about the place. It didn't seem like much was here, as the silent wind blew, with a very, very distant crowd being heard in there protests. It didnt seem like thee was much of anyone here, let alone a bomb. Senses would almost seem to go numb, as trying to locate the explosive became much, much harder.

( In order to locate the bomb, you must roll a 14 in Wisdom. Or, You may roll a 12 in Dex, to run through and stumble onto it, however, this results in damaging it, with a small percent chance to trigger it...)

Tails's data check wouldnt come up with much, aside a forum for people who seemed to of been attacked by this ghost.

"B3@TTH3GG; dude, it was weird....like, i tried hitting it, but, it simply moved away as soon as i made contact with it"

"Aeon: It was small, yet its hands were like knives, able to slice through many without much trouble what-so-ever..."

"K1rb7: It was terrifying! It screeched, wrappng around me before trying to bite my face off!"

...Whatever it was, it seemed it was gonna be a tough little bastard indeed.

    Sonic was getting reeeeaaally annoyed with this crowd. First they start calling him a fake, then they start yelling at him about how Robotnik's taking over or something, and now they straight up are ignoring them. "Jeez. Take a chill pill, wait five minutes, and I'll check up on you guys later." He snidely jeered at the crowd before dashing off to look for the guy he was supposed to meet.

    "Now if I were an average looking person wanting to disarm a bomb, where would I b-" Sonic paused mid thought as his eyes glanced over something. Sonic caught a glance of two yellow and white tails on top of a red creature zooming around a corner and into some sort of alleyway. "Wait... Tails?" Sonic disbelievingly asked himself as he dashed towards the alleyway where he had saw what looked to be his best bud.

    "Tails! It is you!" Sonic cheerfully yelled out as he laid eyes on his two tailed friend. Up until this time, he had been all on his lonesome in a foreign country; but, seeing his best friend again was a sight for sore eyes. Back home, Tails had been almost like a little brother to the carefree hog. While the question did still stand how Tails had gotten here if he wasn't dragged through a portal like Sonic; Catching up first, greetings later. "How in the world did you wander out here little buddy!" Sonic's face beamed as he attempted to hook an arm around his two-tailed friend. If successful, he would give the little guy a loving "noogie" before patting him on the back.

    "This place is no bueno, huh! But I see you've made a friend." He gestured a thumb to the bestial Chumai before grinning and would pat Tails once again on the head.
