The Chaos Emerald-powered Roboticizer ray struck the console of Miss Tarae’s TARDIS before she and the Doctor could stop him. Miss Tarae doubled over in mental pain. “MASTER!” yelped the Doctor as she tried to help her. Miss Tarae waved her off, then pointed what looked like a microphone at Eggman. The Doctor kicked it away and held Miss Tarae back.
“YOU STUPID, BUMBLING, OBESE, POORLY-DRESSED, IMBECILIC, PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A SCIENTIST!!!!!” shouted Miss Tarae.
“One of those rare moments where I actually agree with her, Eggman!” hissed the Doctor.
“Wait, why is that?” asked Tails.
“From what I recall the Doctor telling me one time,” said William, “a TARDIS isn’t really built, it’s grown.”
“To handle the energies of the Time Vortex,” explained the Doctor, “a TARDIS is grown from coral as only an organic-minded machine could handle the complexities of the Vortex to make the proper calculations!”
“Without an organic mind,” continued Miss Tarae, “the energies of the Vortex will rip through the TARDIS’ Heart, then spill out into the one time-zone and create rifts throughout all history, causing all planets in all of space and time to-!”
“Crack and explode like being kicked by a very angry god!” gulped Tails.
“Precisely, Young Prower!” confirmed Miss Tarae.
“…Y-You mean, I’d have…no kingdom?” stammered Eggman.
“No! None of us would have ANY kingdom!” replied Miss Tarae. She turned to the Doctor. “Doctor, every fiber of my being, even the fibers of my outfit, are in pain at saying this, but in order to fix my TARDIS, I need your heeeee… …I need your heheeHEEEE…!” The Doctor grinned.
“Come on,” she encouraged. “Four little words.”
“…I NEED YOUR HELP!” Miss Tarae finally said. “…Why did you have to be that cruel?!”
“Because, if you couldn’t say it, I’d refuse and fix your TARDIS myself,” replied the Doctor. “Now, we’d better see how much time we have.” The two Time Lords entered Miss Tarae’s TARDIS and checked the instruments.
“Blast!” complained Miss Tarae. “Only forty minutes! The energy of the Chaos Emeralds is accelerating the roboticization! We’d need Sonic to use the Emeralds against the Roboticizer’s energy!”
“Sonic won’t be enough, we’d need that Shadow character,” replied the Doctor.
“He can’t get here in time! He doesn’t have the ability to teleport now!”
“…I think I have an idea, but it’s too long-winded for normal speech and I need to workshop it.” Miss Tarae knew where the Doctor was coming from.
“Telepathic conference, then?” she guessed.
“The best option we have, given the circumstances,” replied the Doctor.
“…Very well,” sighed Miss Tarae. She and the Doctor shut their eyes. “Contact.”
“Contact,” confirmed the Doctor. There was a bit of silence to an outside observer. Only a Time Lord would understand the mess of thoughts being projected between the Doctor and Miss Tarae. After a few seconds, they opened their eyes. “Ready?” asked the Doctor.
“As I’ll ever be,” replied Miss Tarae. She opened her TARDIS door. “Everyone, inside! That means you, Fat boy! Bring the Emeralds!” Everyone rushed inside.
“Right, Sonic, Amy, we need you two to tap into the Emeralds’ power,” directed the Doctor.
“You mean go Super Sonic? Sure, I can do that,” replied Sonic.
“Why ask me to go Super?” asked Amy.
“Because, right now, we need two Super Hedgehogs,” replied Miss Tarae.
“But I’ve never turned Super before!”
“Amy, I know this is difficult, but you have to try!” urged the Doctor.
“Amy, it’s okay,” soothed Sonic. “Just follow my lead and think of the one thing you’d use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to protect.” Amy looked back and forth, then nodded. She and Sonic shut their eyes and thought to the one thing they would use ultimate power for, in this case, to protect something. Eggman released the Chaos Emeralds and they orbited the two hedgehogs. They continued concentrating until the Emeralds drew themselves into Sonic and Amy’s beings. They became charged with power and their quills became golden while their eyes turned amber. The energy caused the ends of their quills to move upwards. Amy gasped when she saw her super form! “And that’s how it’s done!” praised Super Sonic.
“Good!” called the Doctor. “Now, we need you to fly around the console’s time rotor, the column going to the ceiling!”
“You got it!” replied Super Amy. She and Super Sonic then flew in a clockwise manner.
“Eggman, you keep in communication with the outside world,” directed Miss Tarae. “Inform us of rifts appearing in the sky, on the ground, on buildings, anything. We’ll have the hedgehogs adjust accordingly. Dr. Davies, see that button right there?”
“The red one as big as a chest?” asked William.
“That’s the one. I need you to press it at a rate of 103 beats per minute, then press the smaller yellow button to administer a shock to the Heart once you’ve gone a full minute. Once that’s done, I’ll tell you when to press the red button repeatedly again.”
“…CPR with an AED!” said William. “You’re asking me to defibrillate your TARDIS!” Miss Tarae opened her mouth to protest, then thought over his analogy.
“…Actually, yes, that’s exactly what I want from you.”
“Tails, you and I will be working the controls to help her TARDIS fight the roboticization process,” directed the Doctor.
“Got it!” said Tails.
“William, begin!” called Miss Tarae. William locked his fingers in the CPR position and began compressions. He started singing, getting a look from Miss Tarae.
“Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive!
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive!
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive!
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive!
Help me, woman!”
“Are you seriously singing Bee Gees?!” protested Miss Tarae. By now, a minute was up.
“CLEAR!” called William. He pressed the yellow button. “Lady, you want 103 BPM or not?!” Miss Tarae rolled her eyes.
“More compressions,” she directed. William began again.
“Everyone,” warned Eggman, “Sage is finding rift activity!”
“Tails, how’s the flux comparative?!” called the Doctor.
“It’s stable right now,” replied Tails.
“Not good, it NEEDS to be in flux!” The Doctor then pulled a lever.
“Okay, now it’s behaving erratically!” called Tails.
“That’s what we want!”
“Roboticization has halted, but it’s not reversing yet!” called Miss Tarae.
“CLEAR!” announced William. He then hit the yellow button.
“…One more round!” cheered Miss Tarae. William got back to compressions.
“Rift activity’s still building!” warned Eggman.
“Doctor, dimensional bleeding’s occurring!” yelped Tails. “The TARDIS’ exterior dimensions are getting bigger!”
“One second!” replied the Doctor. She then adjusted the controls.
“…That’s it!” called Eggman. “Rifts are starting to fade!”
“CLEAR!” announced William. He pressed the yellow button once more.
“…Roboticization is being undone!” cheered Miss Tarae. “Everyone out before the energy causes harm!” Everyone evacuated Miss Tarae’s TARDIS and Miss Tarae shut the door. A light flashed through the crack, then smoke escaped. Miss Tarae peeked inside and sighed with relief. “It worked,” she said. She then glared at Eggman before delivering a roundhouse kick to his face! The real TARDIS key flew out of his suit as he spun and Miss Tarae caught it. “I hate that I have to say it, but thank you, Doctor. I would like to say it was a pleasure to work with you…but we both know that would be a lie too big for ME to say. So I’m just going to say spack off, and if I see you again, it will be a billion years too soon.” She went back into her TARDIS and it dematerialized, fading out of existence.”
“…Well, speaking of power,” remarked Sonic. “Amy, I think it’s time.”
“How do you…?” asked Amy.
“Just think that you did it, you accomplished your goal and don’t need the power anymore.” Sonic and Amy shut their eyes and concentrated, then the Chaos Emeralds left their bodies and flew off to different parts of Mobius. Sonic caught Amy and landed on his feet, then set her down.
“…Well, not that this wasn’t fun,” grumbled Eggman, “…OUT! O! U! T! OUT! GET OUT OF ROBOTROPOLIS BEFORE I-!”
“All right! All right!” replied the Doctor. “I’ll make my own coffee!”
Tails had brought everyone to where the Doctor landed her TARDIS, thanks to getting the directions from the Doctor and Sonic. “So, that’s your TARDIS,” said Tails.
“Yep! A real beauty, she is!” replied the Doctor. “Wanna see?”
“You’ll love it, guys!” promised Sonic. “A HUGE step up from Miss Tarae’s!”
“Well, now I GOTTA see!” said Tails, vibrating at the speed of light in anticipation. The Doctor and William smiled. The Doctor opened the door and brought everyone in! Amy and Tails gasped when they saw the inside.
“You weren’t kidding, Sonic!” breathed Amy. “This is LEAGUES better than Miss Tarae’s!”
“I could spend an eternity here…and I’d still die a happy fox not knowing how it all works!” whispered Tails reverently.
“The TARDIS,” the Doctor said proudly. “Time and Relative Dimension in Space! Anywhere and anywhen, right outside those doors! …Perhaps the Hero of Mobius and his friends wish to come with?”
“…Thanks, Doc, but no thanks,” replied Sonic. “I’ve had enough time travel shenanigans running into my own past.”
“I have to side with Sonic,” said Tails. “We almost made a paradox with two Sonics and two Tails.”
“…That sounds like a rather involved story,” remarked the Doctor.
“What about you, Amy?” asked William. Amy considered, then someone knocked on the door.
“…If it’s Eggman…” muttered the Doctor. She opened the door…and Amy Rose stepped inside! This one was different to the one that first came into the TARDIS. She had a black frilly headband with a black rose and veil on the lefthand side, a black satin dress, black eyeshadow and lipstick, puffy shoulders and sleeves that widened into a bell shape, black opera gloves, and black platform Mary Jane shoes. Her disposition was still as bright as the first Amy’s. “Who are you?” asked the Doctor.
“A paradox that’s resolving itself,” replied the goth-looking Amy. “As you can guess, I’m Amy Rose from the future.”
“Is it…a bad one?” asked the first Amy.
“Hardly!” replied the goth Amy. “Your travels with the Doctor will be fun! It’s just that you’ll have to leave after a while and someone else will bring you back to Mobius.”
“…And I wear black?”
“Well, Rouge HAS encouraged us to try black once or twice. What do you think?”
“…I look good in it!”
“Baby, you know it!”
“Well, I guess that’s settled, then!” declared Amy. “Doctor, William, I’m going with you!”
“Now, I better get going,” said the goth Amy. “I’ve got a lot to tell you, Sonic and Tails!” She led Sonic and Tails out of the TARDIS.
“…A peculiar moment for a paradox like that,” muttered the Doctor. “…But she didn’t lie. I could see that. Now then! Where shall we go?!”
“…How about…everywhere and everywhen?” suggested Amy.
“I second that!” replied William.
“Motion is unanimous!” declared the Doctor as she set the controls and set the TARDIS in motion!
The TARDIS faded out of existence as Sonic, Tails, and the other Amy waved. “Bye, Doctor!” she called. “Thanks for everything!”
“…So, you’re Amy’s future?” asked Sonic.
“Yep! And hoo boy, do I have a lot to tell you!” said Amy. “Let’s see, should I start with Skaro? Because, YUCK! That’s one planet I DON’T want to see again! Or maybe at Disney? That was fun! Got to see Ace in action there!”
