"UNCLE CHUCK!" Sonic cried in pure amazement.

"I've gotcha Sonny," Sir Charles said as he, amazingly, pulled Sonic back in without any effort.

Upon seeing this, the resistance members were amazed. This had been done without a Power Ring, for it was still in Sonic's hand. Once his feet were back on the metal, Sonic trapped his Uncle in a hug and the robotic hedgehog did the same.

"It's gonna be alright now, Sonny Boy," Sir Charles said.

"I thought I'd lost you," Sonic whispered.

"Not a chance."

"How sweet. It makes me sick!"

Everyone jumped suddenly remembering the Robotnik was still present!

"Don't move or I'll fire you!" Robotnik threatened as he held a laser towards the two hedgehogs.

Robotnik's threat was beaten, when a certain pink laser was shot at Robotnik's hand, making him drop the laser. Everyone looked at Sonia, who was obviously steamed.

"Don't move any metal Robotnik or I'll zap your bolts!" she threatened. "The same goes for Sleet and Dingo."

The two cronies whimpered as they hid behind their boss.

"Let's get outta here!" Eddy said as he grabbed Ed and Double D.

"Yes, let's," Double D agreed.

Manic started beating on his drums in a certain way.

"We're escaping in style!" he declared.

Before they could even ask what he meant, six slabs of earth came flying in through the open door, flew under them, one for each of them, while Sonic shared one with his Uncle Chuck, and lifted them up.

"Way to go, bro," Sonia smiled.

"Hang on gang!" Manic called before playing his drums again.

The pieces of earth lifted up and flew out of the ship.

"Nicely done, Manic!" Sonic cheered.

"Nicely done indeed," Sir Charles agreed.

"What about the others, where are they?" Sonic asked.

"…There they are!" Double D pointed.

Looking down, they could see their friends and or guardians. Manic starting beating a quick tempo on one of the drums and they slowly dropped until they landed right in front of the small group. Needless to say, seeing their children come flying down on rocks, Ferral and Windamere were speechless. Then they noticed the weapons.

"Manic, what are these? New drums?" Ferall asked when the green hedgehog landed.

"Sonia, a gun?! I thought I thought you better then that!" Winamere scolded.

"It's not just a weapon Lady Windamere, it's also a keyboard," Sonia explained before showing her.

Before their guardians could ask more questions, the weapons turned back into their medallions and the pieces of earth collapsed. Those who had been on them lost their balance for a moment but quickly recovered.

"Oh my!" Windamere said in shock.

"Whoa!" Ferral cried.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Manic asked.

"H-H-How…" Windamere was at a loss for words.

"We'll explain everything back at the base," Sonia said.

"Care to do the honors, Shelby?" Sonic offered.

"My pleasure, Sonic."

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the black jewel from her pocket. When Sir Charles saw it, he flinished.

"CHAOS CONTROL!"

Everyone landed hard on the ground. The three robians, who had never heard of Chaos Control, didn't exactly land on their feet. As Windamere looked around, she turned Sonia.

"This is where you have been living for the past three years?" she asked.

"No, I wish though, but no," Sonia said before brushing herself off.

"Huh, classy," Ferral said as Manic pulled him to his feet.

"Not really, I've been in better as of late," Manic said.

"Why, this is out old hideout Sonny Boy," Sir Charles said.

"We know it!" Sonic said with a smirk.

"However, I do have a few questions," Sir Charles said. "First of all where did those two get those weapons," he then pointed at Sonia and Manic, "and how did you meet them?"

"Oh, that…" Sonic tried to come up with a good way of putting it. "Well, there's no easy way to say this so I'll just spit it out, and I'm completely serious: Manic, Sonia, and I are uh, the children of Queen Aleena Hedgehog herself."

(Outside…)

"YOU'RE THE WHAT OF WHO?!?!"

(Inside…)

The children and teenagers had taken cover the second Sonic had said that because they somewhat knew what the response would be. Manic, who had a kettle on his head, looked out of the kitchen.

"I think they believed you bro," he said.

Sonia, who had ducked into the closet now having a scarf hanging from one ear, crawled out.

"Did they ever," she agreed.

Sonic, who had dived behind the couch, looked out.

"You took the words out of my mouth," he said.

Double D made himself visible on the fan overhead before starting to climb down. Eddy stuck his now dusty head out f the air vent out to see if it was safe. Ed had simple covered his eyes with his hands, while Sarah, Jimmy and Nazz hid behind him. Kevin, Rolf, Johnny, and Plank had hidden themselves in the computer room.

"Hey, where are Shadow and Shelby?" Sonia asked, taking notice of the missing hedgehogs.

"Up here."

All eyes turned to the ceiling, to see said hedgehogs hanging from the ceiling-fan, which was slowly spinning. Almost all of the boys burst out laughing, while Double D and Tails did their best to hold them in.

"This isn't a joke," Shadow growled. "NOW GET US DOWN!"

After recovering from their laughing fits, Manic got on Sonic's shoulders to help them down. Once they were on the ground, the three guardians walked to the three hedgehogs. Sir Charles spoke first.

"Sonny, listen I-"

"You were the minister of science so you knew our mom, we already know," Sonic beat him to it.

"Sonia, I never would have imagined that you were…" Lady Windamere wouldn't finish.

"I know, it was strange to me too at first but I've gotten used to it," Sonia told her with a smile on her face.

"Well Manic, you're really the prince of thieves now," Ferral told him.

"Yeah well, some habits are hard to break," Manic said with a smirk.

"HA HA! That's my boy!" Ferral said, patting him on the back.

"Wait, where are the others?" Sonia asked.

"Out here!" Topaz said as she ran back into the hideout. "I take it the mission was complete success?"

"You better believe it!" Manic smiled as he hugged his guardian.

"Well that's good news. Tune is outside and Shurie took the machine to her workshop to do a little "exploration" if you know what I mean."

"She has the Ring Generator?" Sir Charles asked in shock.

"Don't worry, she's only going to see what pieces and parts we need to replace after it was smashed," Topaz smirked.

"Smashed?"

"We found the remains in the closet under a lot of junk," Sonic explained.

"Well, hopefully your friend is smart enough to know how to repair it," Charles said.

"I think she can handle it," Shadow said.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Everyone's attention turned to Sonic, who was looking at a watch-like device on his wrist.

"S'up Cyrus?" Sonic asked.

"We've got a problem Sonic," the lion said from his end. "We just lost a lot of territory to Robotnik on eastern boarder. We lost our Raw Material fields!"

"What does that mean?" Eddy asked.

"It means they've lost their sources of materials for things such as weapons and armor," Double D explained.

"Exactly," Manic said.

"Oh no! I was supposed to be at a post there!" Sonia cried in realization.

"It wouldn't have made any difference," Cyrus said. "We lost everyone there."

"This is awful! I knew I should have come up with a new plan incase we were attacked!" Sonia said sadly.

"You can handle everything Sonia," Topaz said. "Robotnik is too cagey."

"That's no excuse!" Sonia cried.

"Topaz is right sis, Robotnik's holding all the aces, and this is coming from the one who plays poker!" Manic exclaimed.

"That's no excuse! We lost a lot today and that's it!" Sonia said sadly.

"Well, we lost three and gained three more!" Sonic said. "It's just one of those bittersweet days."

"Yeah, like the day we met!" Manic added.

"I suppose…" Sonia admitted.

"They're right you know," Double D said, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"We should have taken him out a long time ago, before he took over," Sonic said his voice more serious then any of them had ever heard before.

Sonia laughed before saying,

"Sonic, we were just newborn babies."

"So? We were way cool at that age!"

Topaz thought for a moment before speaking up.

"Why not do it now? You can use the Time Stones!"

"The what?" Sonic asked.

"The Time Stones, you know: They take you through time!" Topaz said.

"Topaz, the Time Stones are just a myth," Sonia scoffed.

"They're no myth! They're on Little Planet!" the fox insisted.

"Another myth," Sonia said.

"Little Planet?" Double D asked.

"A very small planet that enters Mobius' atmosphere on the last month of the year and then disappears but reappears the next year," Topaz explained.

"Just like Mobodoon!" Manic said.

"Exactly!" Charles said.

"Mobodoon?" Eddy asked.

"The place we were born!" Manic happily said.

"Well incase you haven't noticed Topaz," Sonia said. "It isn't the last month of the year! And like I said, it's just a myth!"

"Sonia, I know that planet is no myth! My friend Dulcy bumped into it with me riding her!" Topaz said before giving them a cute look. "And while we were there, we saw this HUGE chain keeping it from leaving the planet! With Robotnik's symbol on it!"

"Yeah right," Sonia said.

"And did I mention that I saw Queen Aleena there as well?" Topaz threw in.

That got their attention.

"And you didn't tell us this because?" Manic asked.

"You never asked," Topaz smirked.

"Oh you can't be serious Manic!" Sonia cried.

"Tell me Princess, if there was even the slightest chance of stopping Robotnik, would you take it?" Topaz asked.

Sonia was silent in thought.
