TMC 26-1

Mobius, a world where certain animals evolved to speak and walk like humans. A normally peaceful world and is protected by many heroes against a mad scientist wanting to take it over for his own. However, the scientist hadn’t made a peep in recent days. Right now, though, that was a good thing. The whole planet and its refugees from another world were worried that the main hero of Mobius didn’t succeed or survive. Within the castle of Mobius’ Queen, her Majesty, Queen Aleena the Hedgehog, was pacing her room in motherly worry. “My boy, where are you?!” she asked. “I know we’ve got a seat on the Galactic Council, but I need to know if we w-!” someone knocked on her door, startling her out of her thoughts. “…Come in,” she called after releasing a breath. One of her butlers then opened the door.

“Sorry to disturb you, Your Majesty,” he began, “but you have visitors outside the castle.”

“And they are?” asked Aleena.

“Optimus and your son.” Aleena quickly breezed by the butler, dashed through the foyer, and ran out of the castle to see Optimus, Shadow, Topaz, Sira, Trema, Amy, Gaia, Umbra, Lux, and Sonic!

“MY BOY!” she cheered as she ran up to him. She then enveloped him in a bear hug.

“Mom! Easy!” begged Sonic. She then pulled herself away, leaving her hands on his shoulders.

“My sweet boy! Are you hurt?! Do you need a bath?! Did the Vok-?!”

“Mom, easy! We won!” Aleena goggled.

“Wait, we won?! Primacron’s-?!”

“Dead and done!” replied Umbra. Aleena then looked up to her. “My apologies, I’ve yet to introduce myself. I am Umbra, one of Gaia’s mothers.”

“And I’m Lux, her other mother,” introduced Lux. She then took a deep breath and sighed happily. “Feels just like Voksphere!”

“I’m…glad you like it,” replied Aleena, a little uncertain about Lux and Umbra. She then addressed Sonic and Optimus. “I can’t tell you how relieved I am! Did you all make it back okay?!”

“We did, though we lost some good people,” sighed Sonic. Aleena winced.

“I’m sorry you had to see that,” she sympathized.

“Well, hopefully, Sonic won’t see that anymore,” wished Optimus. “Not from any race in the galaxy.”

“…Optimus, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying that Megatron and I ended our feud. The second war between the Autobots and Decepticons…is over.”

“…Dare I ask who won?”

“Unofficially, Megatron conceded victory to me in a private fight. Officially, the two factions just stopped, sick of fighting each other and sick of bloodshed.”

“Telling the galaxy that you saw sense, hm?”

“That’s the general idea.”

“Well, if you ever need help, you need merely ask me and the G.U.N. commander.”

“About that!” called Shadow. “You spoke with Topaz about me, right?!” Aleena grinned.

“I had a pretty good idea you’d find out.”

“And you did NOTHING to stop it?!”

“Nope. In fact, your recommendation to the position didn’t spawn in a vacuum. My boy came up with the idea!” Shadow then gawked at Sonic.

“…YOU?!”

“Me!” chuckled Sonic. “Looks like we’re gonna be working together a little more, eh Shadow?”

“You…suggested that I…be Commander Topaz’s…successor?!”

“Yep! Congrats, Shadow, Commander of G.U.N!” Sonic held his hand out for a handshake.

“…Do you have any idea,” Shadow shook Sonic’s hand a little tightly, “how much paperwork you saddled me with?!”

“You’re welcome!” Shadow just growled.

“So, will G.U.N HQ be moving to the Space Colony ARK?” asked Sira.

“No,” grunted Shadow as he ended his handshake with Sonic. “I’m making the Space Colony G.U.N.’s main scientific HQ. It might be old, but the labs are still operational. By the way, Topaz, I’d like to make Maria my Chief Scientist.”

“I see no issue with that,” replied Topaz. “Though, that IS up to her.” She then looked around. “Er, where’s Gaia?”

“She’s getting reacquainted with Mobius,” explained Lux. “She’s been in the core of your planet alongside Unicron for so long that she wanted to explore what her old form had to offer.”

“I wonder,” mused Umbra, “could she make the planet her body and transform as you do, Prime?”

“Knowing her, she probably doesn’t want to,” remarked Optimus.

“So, what brings you here?” Aleena asked the young Prime. “Shouldn’t you be rebuilding?”

“That’s partially why I’m here. I’m picking up the refugees that you graciously allowed on your world.”

“What about those that want to stay? I’m fine with them living here.”

“Then they may live here. I won’t rip them away from their new lives here. There’s another reason, a more personal one. I’m…kind of in the middle of a farewell tour.”

“Farewell tour?! You’re leaving us?!” yelped Sonic.

“I can’t stay on Mobius for so long like I did in the past, Sonic. My people need me. Staying on Mobius before Megatron brought his crew was kind of running from my people’s problems. I can’t stay unless it’s a diplomatic visit.”

“Man! I was hoping you’d move to Mobius!”

“I have my duties, Sonic. I can’t leave my people anymore.”

“Can you and Blackarachnia at least stay until after the big day?”

“…The big day?”

“What big day?” asked Aleena.

“The Faker and Amy are getting married…somehow,” grunted Shadow.

“…My baby boy! All grown up!” Aleena hugged Sonic again.

“Yep! And Optimus, you and Blackarachnia are invited!” invited Sonic.

“…When’s the wedding?” asked Optimus.

“About a month from now.” Optimus rubbed his chin.

“…Well, that’s probably gonna be how long it will take to make a Space Bridge to get everyone home. Sure, I can make it!”

“Er, Sonic, quick question,” called Umbra. “Does Amy know?”

“I hope so,” replied Sonic. “She picked the date.”

“I’m referring to…your relations.”

“…Wait, you mean does she know about me being Aleena’s son? Of course, she knows! I told her during the Year of Unicron!”

“Oh, geez, Umbra!” chided Lux. “You can’t drop a bomb like that on a honeymoon!”

“Sonic, aren’t you worried?” asked Shadow.

“About what?” quizzed Sonic.

“The danger. The sacrifices.”

“…Shadow, every adventure has that. Marriage is just one big adventure you’re sharing with someone.”

“That’s my boy!” cheered Aleena.


Unbeknownst to them, Swindle was watching the whole thing. He called up Eggman. “Swindle to Eggman, Sonic’s back,” he reported.

“Very well, Swindle,” sighed Eggman on the other end. “Return to base.”

“Understood.” He ended the call and a Ground Bridge opened for him. He went through and it closed behind him.
