It had taken them a while, but Espio, Vector and Mighty had soon put Jill, Charmy and the mongoose to sleep inside the tent back at the campsite they had set up when Aleena and Ani still were with them. Right now, the three sat by the fireplace, Vector merely poking the flames with a stick.  "...so you guys were attacked by a airship?" Mighty asked, as they had just finished hearing Vector tell them of what his group had experienced earlier on. "Man... Eggman's really put everything after us."  "That he has." Vector muttered, before sighing, as he casually lobbed the stick into the fire. "What really got me was that this time around, those Egg Pawns that we can take out in one-two shots tops withstood our attacks with relative ease." |

 He sat near the fire, glaring at it. "That robot we fought... I've read about him before... it was on some data I've found in Eggman's computer during the Black Arms Attack... it was built during Eggman's attack on Station Square... it was a prototype and after that, the production never picked up... yet..." |

 "...wait, you know computers, Espio?"  "Long story, Mighty." Vector quickly shot in, still looking at the fire. "But really, when we met Aleena, when we fought those Kukkus and when we met Ani, everything was just fine and dandy. Then we went to pick berries, and boom, the world hunts us." He scoffed. "Pretty ironic." |

"I somewhat sensed that something in this world has changed... remember that leaflet, Mighty?" |

"How could I forget?" Mighty quipped, as he looked up into the starry sky. "Well, to be honest, I'd like to actually forget about it, but it's just nagging me." "But man, to think that we're actually wanted now..." Vector said with a sigh. "Good thing that Jill, Aleena and Ani got away scot free, but still..." |

"And that Chaos Emerald is now with Aleena...?" |

"Yep." Vector replied bluntly. "She snagged it from Ani after I handed it to her, and she stayed behind to take on the Egg Pawns whilst we came to get you guys." "But I do wonder..." Mighty pondered, as he tapped his chin. "What is that girl gonna do with three Chaos Emeralds, anyway?" "We'll have to worry about that for later." Vector shot in, as he looked towards the tent, where he could see Jill, Charmy and the mongoose sleeping. "Now, we gotta figure out what we're gonna do with ourselves..." |

"We should try and investigate what is going on... Eggman attacked Jill's village and then, sends out Egg Pawns and ZEROs... whatever it is, Eggman's plans is too dangerous to ignore..." |

"Yeah, but..." Sighing, Vector looked back towards the tent. "We still got a job to do." "Find Sonic, wasn't it?" Mighty asked, as he removed his gaze from the sky. "But if Eggman really is ruler of the world... what else is there for the man to do?" "The only thing left for him..." Vector muttered, as he rubbed his head in wonder. "Wait... wait, wait, wait... EUREKA!" he suddenly yelled, as he got on his feet. "It's simple! As he already owns the world, the one thing Eggman wants to see is nothing more than the final defeat of Sonic!" Then, he slammed his fist into his palm. "That settles it; in order to get to Egghead, we need to find Sonic!" |

 He facepalms. "In the words of someone reacting to an ignorant person who stated the obvious and we were searching for Sonic anyway... Well, duh!" |

Vector pouted for the briefest of moments at Espio's remark, before looking back at the tent. "But what I'm interested in is why Jill really wants to see Sonic, aside from him being a hero." "Well, no sense in worrying too much about it." Mighty said with a slight yawn. "As long as you stay on the path you've picked out, then you'll find what you're looking for. That philosophy has done wonders for me." Then, he looked out towards the horizon. "You two should probably get some rest, too. I'll keep watch." |

 Jill sat up from her resting place so suddenly, gasping in fear. Then she realized that whatever scared her, was only a dream. She saw that she was now in the tent, along with that mongoose and Charmy who were sleeping very peacefully, which helped her feel a little more at ease. However for a moment, she wondered where Ani could have gone, but that thought disappeared as they went right back to her dream. Jill's sweet dream shortly turned into a nightmare for her... She could recall that face, the one that stared at her while that hand was strangling her to her death. She slightly recognized that face, though some of the features about it have changed since she last saw it... Metal Sonic She tried to hold back tears that were expressing how frightened she was of that menace, though she wasn't doing so well as one tear trickled down her cheek. Was she developing a fear of him? |

"You've asked why Jill wants to find Sonic?" He asked, glancing at Vector. "Don't you remember her story? Eggman and Metal Sonic attacked her village while looking for something... the only one who knows that madman well is Sonic himself!" |

"Hey, I came in during the halfway-point, so I only got the part with the fight!" Vector replied, before growling somewhat. "Nonetheless, we'll have to ask Sonic about it when we can find 'im. For now, you guys get some sleep, and I'll keep watch." "But I already..." Mighty began, before shaking his head; trying to win an argument with Vector was well-near impossible, especially if it was over something minor. "Alright. In that case, I'm hitting the hay now. You two be good now." he said, supressing another yawn, before walking towards the tent. |

He gave Vector a sideways glance, not looking tired at all. "Vector, whatever Eggman did, Mighty is now a part of Team Chaotix... that ZERO robot claimed that he's part of us..." |

Vector sighed, as he watched Mighty enter the tent; the armadillo seemingly not hearing what they said. "Well, let's... let's just try to piece this together." he grunted, as he sat down again, rubbing his temples. "So, I kinda forget, but how long has Eggman been in control of the world, according to sources?" ------------------  Jill's fears would only be strengthened when she would hear Metal chuckling darkly, as his grip only tightened around her neck. " So even after I gave you a chance at life..." he said in a much more demonic voice than usual, his grip becoming near-fatal. " ...you still thought you could stand against me? Such weak conviction will not let you save a single soul... least of all yours." |

 In one of the tents, a certain mongoose started to stir. |

He sighed as a laptop appeared in front of him in a cloud of smoke (part of his mad ninja skillz!), hooking up to the wireless and bringing up information... "Not too long, I guess... but according to the report, Dr Eggman has been in control of the world for the last..." Major silence... "FIVE YEARS?!?!?" |

"Five years, eh?" Vector said in a surprisingly calm tone. "Well, it's not like that's- WAIT, FIVE YEARS?!?!" he suddenly exclaimed, rushing to see the laptop screen. "That can't be real! I-I mean, what about Perfect Chaos? The ARK? Metal Overlord? The Black Arms? Hell, what about the first mission of the Chaotix?!" |

Jill didn't notice the mongoose awakening, she didn't pay attention to Espio's outburst, and even Mighty's entrance into the tent didn't take her attention. She was zoned out, still thinking about that dream, and at the same time, tiny little tears squeezed out of her eyes... _______________________________________________________________________ Jill weakly tried to struggle out of his grip, gagging in the process, and then being slammed against the wall didn't help."Metal..." she croaked. "...I didn't think I could stand against you in the first place....I don't understand robots at all, but if you can think and feel for yourself, then you're a life worth saving....that's why I saved you." |

He rapidly typed in the data... "Nothing! Nothing about Eggman unleashing Chaos! Nothing about the ARK nearly crashing into the planet! Metal Overlord... nothing! The Black Arms.... driven away by Eggman's ultimate forces himself... Dark Gaia... hasn't been released!!!" He paused as he looked at the date when Eggman first became ruler of the planet. "That date... impossible... EGGMAN HAS BEEN IN CONTROL OF THIS PLANET SINCE THE DAY HE REVEALED HIMSELF!!!" |

Vector's eyes widened in pure shock, as he collapsed on the ground, staring at the computer in horror. "You... you're serious..." he muttered, holding his hands over his head. "...but... What about Sonic?!" he suddenly exclaimed, looking up at Espio. "Tails and Knuckles?! Team Dark?! C'mon, there's gotta be some mistake... EGGMAN AIN'T SUPPOSED TO WIN!" Mighty heard their cries from outside, but he decided not to go see what was happening, being too distracted by seeing Jill cry in her sleep. "Wha..." ------------------------------- Metal scoffed, as the grip only became stronger. "Life or not, you fail to realize one thing, princess... " he said mockingly, his eyes becoming thinner. "I am a machine. And unfortunately for you, and your friends as well... " Then, the grip began closing her throat together, as he prepared to snap her neck. "You are only human. " |

He typed in more. "According to the history, Sonic the Hedgehog is this world's number one enemy... said by Eggman... to disrupt the peace and wonder created by my grand knowledge and anyone who dares to defy me will have to repent their sins by lending my robots their strength... In other words, that's why we found that mongoose in the ZERO robot..." He turned to Vector. "Shadow and Omega still exists though. Eggman released Shadow, thinking he has the power to defeat Sonic, but Shadow turned against Eggman for his own reasons... as for Omega, he was originally designed to kill Sonic, but production stopped and he was sealed away... only to be released to kill Shadow when he left... you can figure out the result..." |

As Espio said this, Vector's gaze turned to the ground, his hands clenched, and his teeth gritted. Then, with a yell of frustration, he began hammering his left hand into the ground. "That!" he exclaimed, in rythm with his fist connecting to the ground. "Ain't!" Another punch to the ground. "Right!" As he said this, he stopped hitting the ground, remaining silent. "...dammit..." |

"Eggman must have found a way to alter the timelines..." He muttered. "But, if that's true, then why are we still aware of the timeline WE know about...?" |
