Roleplay:Memory Crisis

SHORT NOTICE : IF GADZOOKS IS SEEN EDITING THIS PAGE AGAIN HE WILL BE REPORTED. PERIOD. This Roleplay is about how Lightning fought alongside a huge force of heroes, trying to get the Chaos Emeralds back from Eggman's huge new secret base, and all of Eggman's new allys. But once Lightning got to Eggman (and Co.), he was surprised that Eggman had used the power of the Chaos Emeralds to make a machine that wipes memory. Eggman 'tested' his new machine on Lightning, and it worked. The heroes started retreating after they found out about Eggman's new machine. Sonic was distressed when he found out that Lightning had vanished, but he knew he had to retreat with the rest of his force.

Prologue
Sonic: *slides on the smooth, metal floor and trips one of Eggman's robots then jumps up and nods at Lightning* You can go, we'll hold them off.

Lightning: *does a electric dive-roll through one of the robots* Alright. *Quickly gets up and starts running towards the large metal door*

Moon: *slashing Eggman robots with her blades*

Luger: I'll get the door. *hooks his cybernetics up to the control panel for the door and hacks it so Lightning can get through*

.*door opens*

.*neon is standing inside*

neon: the docter is paying me big money to destroy you. plus i can get revenge on sonic for cutting off my tail!

Falco: C'mon. We can take this guy!

neon: hahaha! *readys for battle* bring it! *charges at falco.

(Falco dodges Neon and hits him hard in the stomach)

Falco: Hah. I thought that you were supposed to be tough.

neon: ha, im just warming up! *throws a gem at falco, which explodes at his feet* theres more where that came from!

Falco: Hey!

(Falco reaches into his backpack and grabs a small explosive that makes smoke and is mildly painful. He throws it at Neon)

Falco: Take that!

(Falco runs up and kicks Neon during the distraction)

Falco: Hah. If thats the best you've got then you might as well step out of my way!

Lightning: *nods at Falco as a "Thank you" for the distraction* *runs through doorway, then slides to a stop as a huge robot slams it's foot right in front of him* Whoa whoa whoa... *rolls to his side as a giant laser bolt smears the air where he was, then shoots 3 lightning bolts at the giant robot*

Giant Robot: *lightning bolts disappear as they hit it's armor* Most destroy. *stops his foot at Lightning*

Lightning: *does a back handspring out of the way, then runs under the huge robots legs to another huge door*

Giant Robot: *huge mouth opens a a huge wave of fire splurts out at Lightning*

???: *dives at Lightning and shoves him aside, and jumps away as-well* Need a little help?

Lightning: James?! Long time no see buddy!!! *gets up*

James: I'll hold this... thing off. You go. *unsheathes sword and leaps at the huge robot*

Moon: *still fighting robots* Eggman must have something big, he's got a lot of security.

Sonic: *breaks Mach 1 and runs through a robot and skids to a stop next to Moon* Exactly why we're here. *continues fighting*

(Falco enters through the doorway)

Falco: (to Lightning, while fighting) Do you know where Eggman and the Chaos Emeralds are, or are we just gonna keep fighting until we find 'em?

Donovan:...Huh?

Falco: (grinning) Never mind. Lets just keep fighting. I'm havin' the time of my life!

Lightning: *ignores his second comment* He should be in the Control Room. *sparta-kicks a robot, then punches through another robot*

Falco: Well then. Lets head there. C'mon.

Donovan:...And why am I here?

Falco: Umm, probably for the same reason as everyone else, to get the Chaos Emeralds from Eggman.

Luger & Moon: *are now standing back to back fighting the robots*

Luger: Hopefully so.

Donovan:That shouldn't be too much of a challenge.

Falco: I'm gonna try and get to the Control Room. Who's coming with me? Lightning? This is your mission after all.

Donovan:I guess I can.

(Luger and Moon look at each other, then Moon nods)

Luger; I'll go too.

Falco: Alright. Lets go. Lightning, you coming?

Donovan:*grunts* I hope we're lucky enough to find it before something happens...not saying anything WOULD happen.

Lightning: *smiles* Of course! That is, if you guys can catch up!!! *drives foot in ground, and a huge spike of lightning comes up from under the huge door, and the door collapses* C'mon! *starts running as fast as he can through the huge hallway*

Luger: *runs after him, though not as fast*

???????: (lurking in the shadows).......

Luger: *thinks he hears something and looks*

???????: (disappeared)

Luger: Hmm. *keeps running*

???????:.......

Luger: *catches back up to the others* I can't shake the feeling we're being watched...

Falco: Hmm. I'm getting that feeling too. Lets stay on guard.

(Falco sees a large door ahead)

Falco: Look. It's the Control Room. Lets go in.

Luger: *hacks the door open*

Donovan:Wow.*runs in*

(Falco follows him in and sees a massive monitor with glowing symbols on it. Eggman stands behind it)

Falco: Woa. What is that thing?

Eggman: That, is my latest invention.

Falco: What does it do.

Eggman: How about you have a look at it.

(Falco looks at it and it starts glowing. Falco quickly looks away)

Falco: (feeling dizzy) Woa.

(The rest of the group enter to see Falco looking really sick)

Luger: *rushes over to him* What happened?

Falco: (panting) Don't... Look... Into....

(Falco begins throwing up)

Luger: *supports Falco* We need to get you out of here.

Falco: (speaking between throwing up) No... Must.... Destroy.... Machine.

Eggman: No one's going anywhere!

(He pushes a button and all of the doors close)

Luger: *narrows his eyes* What do you want?

Eggman: Just for you to look into the monitor and then I'll let you go.

Falco: Don't.... (begins throwing up again)

Eggman: Hmm. It doesn't seem that young Falco looked long enough. I still need a test subject. So who wants to volunteer?

(Nobody replies)

Eggman: If someone doesn't volunteer then I'll use it on all of you...

(a strange time portal appears behind the group a strange white hedgehog enters from it)

?????: So....you're Doctor Eggman, huh?

Falco: Who.... Are..... You?

?????: My name is Shine, hero of the future! I've come to help save my world! And you're the first to feel my pain, Egg-Head!

Eggman: Enough of this. I was looking for a test subject and now I've found one!

(Eggman aims the device at Shine)

Shine: (shields his own vision with his mysterious PSI powers with one hand and uses his other hand to cover his eyes for good measure)

Eggman: Grrr. Enough of this. I'll just pick someone randomly.

(Thinks for a second and points at Lightning)

Eggman: How about you?

(Eggman points the device at Lightning)

Shine: Not so fast! (uses his Psychokenesis on the machine and starts disassembling it)

(Eggman quickly points it at Shine and Shine becomes dizzy. Eggman then proceeds to point it at Lightning)

Eggman: (To Shine) Hmph. You're not even worthy of being hit by the full blast of this thing.

(While it is pointing at Lightning, Eggman activates it)

Eggman: Hah!

Shine: Ugh.....(tries to fight out of his dizzyness)

Falco: (While throwing up) Don't... Resist.... You'll..... Start..... Throwing.... Up.

Shine: Eugh! Didn't need....to see...or hear that...(starts feeling strange)

Falco: Lightning.... Look.... Away!

Shine: Gotta....stop him....for....the sake of....my family.....my future.....(feels sick)

Falco: What..... Do...... You...... Mean?

Eggman: Stop talking and start watching my genius invention doing its work!

Falco: What.... Does..... It.... Do?

Eggman: (chuckling) Lets just say that you two are going to suffer some side effects.

Shine: No.....feeling...weak....

???????'s voice: Still need my help, Shine....you never change....

Shine: Huh?

Eggman: Enough of these games. I will use my machine tonight! Get ready Lightning.

???????'s voice: (laughs) What a joke! A clown like you couldn't even match up to my power, you're just getting lucky with these boys!

Lightning: *elbows a Robot down* Huh? Oh, hey Egg-face. And, I don't think your gonna "test" anything on me anytime soon. *starts running superfast around the room, randomly*

(Pandaboy2: Sorry, i was gone, my friend was over)

Shine: (pants heavily).....now....you're in trouble....

Luger: *is still holding up Falco*

???????'s voice: Need a hand, kid?

Eggman: Stay still, little hedgehog... *carefully aims cannon at Lightning*

(a dark shadow speeds through most of Eggman's machine's, malfuntioning them and lands in front of the gang; it takes the form of a very attractive and sexy, yet dark female)

???????: I don't think so!

Shine:...Fetalia....right on time...UGH!!

Luger: It might've been nice a little earlier, but I can't complain.

Fetalia: Too cocky, I gotta help you again, Shine! You never change do you?

Shine: (weakly smiles)

Eggman: Bahh! To much pesky little animals. Let's make this a little easier... *clicks a button, and a laser net falls from the roof, and lands on the small group, all but Lightning* Now...

Lightning: *skids to a stop* *starts running towards the trapped group*

Eggman: Just one more step.... *fires the cannon at Lightning, a bolt of pure dark purple flies out of the cannon, and goes inside of Lightning*

Lightning: GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! *falls the ground, and body starts glowing purple*

Shine: Urgh! I can't use my psychokenisis to get us free....too weak....

Luger: *struggling with the net* Come on...

Fetalia: (electrocuted) ACK!!! This...is...nothing!

Eggman: *laughs evily* Anyone else? *aims cannon at the now powering down net*

(Pandaboy2: This is when they retreat)

Lightning: *groans and head lifts, complete confusion writen all over it* *then expression turns into complete rage* *jumps up, and goes through the roof. The sound of running footsteps can be heard above*

Luger: *throws the net off* This is probably a good time to get out of here. *smashes the door panel this time instead of hacking it*

Fetalia: Hmph! I can handle this!

Luger: If you stay, you'll end up like him. *points at Falco*

Fetalia: (charges up a sphere of dark energy) This will be too easy!

Luger: Please, let's regroup with the others.

Fetalia: Shut up! This idiot's too easy and you treat him like a big threat to the world?!

Luger: That man put bombs IN my daughter! And clearly he did something to Lightning, Falco, and Shine! You're going to get yourself or someone else killed if we don't do this right!

Fetalia: (groans) Fine! You win! Let's go!

(They head back to where Sonic and the others are)

Shine: Ugh.....

Moon: You're back. But where's Lightning?

James: *runs up* yeah, where's Lightning?

Falco: Eggman.... Used..... A machine..... On him. We..... Should...... Get out..... Of here.

-A Loud Knocking is Heard-

???" HEY HELP US!

Shine: Ugh...feeling....weak....

Fetalia: I keep tellin' ya to be more careful and not be so careless. No one ever listens to me, now do they?

-The Knocking is louder-

???: HEY! HELP US WE HAVE BEEN CAPTURED! SOS> HELP!

Fetalia: (runs to the door and answers it) What's wrong?!

Lunas And Apallo:-fall out-

Lunas: Please Help My Big Bro Apallo. And Me too. We were tricked by Eggman.

(Note Apallo Is Really Famous as the chamipo of the Elemental Tournament)

Fetalia: Okay. What happened?

Lunas:-puts his brother on the ground and poinsts out wounds on him-

Fetalia: So this idiot got lucky on him, too. Amazing....

Lunas: HE ISNT AN IDIOT! -ahem- Sorry about that but anyway He Had Our Family's Elemental Powers Sapped from him too And I managed to steal this data for soem Elemental Egg Titan Blueprints as well

Fetalia: I wasn't calling this guy an idiot, by the way.

Apallo:-groans-

Shine: ugh....still weak....can't help.....

Fetalia: Don't waste your breath, Shine! Just rest a little....

Apallo: -still Knocked Out- -groans-

Fetalia: (helps him out)

Falco: Shouldn't we be..... looking for..... Lightning?

Apallo:-fur darkens to a gray orange-

Lunas: He's Losing Power.

Fetalia: Damn! What can we do?!

Apallo:-manages to go into Thunder Form- (he turns grey yellow) Electricity.......

Fetalia: My dark powers can sort of heal some of the wounds or fatigues from you guys....but I don't knwo how to make sure you all are fully recovered)

(A massive army of Eggman robots heads towards them)

Falco: Uh I think.... we should probably..... go.

Fetalia: Pff! I can handle this!

Falco: Yeh, if you had.... some backup. But Shine and.... I can't fight and Apallo's..... powers aren't working..... right.

Fetalia: (groans)

Falco: We should..... probably run.

(Falco throws up again)

Falco: Uggh.

Fetalia: (Ugh...buzzkill...) Alright fine! Let's go!

(The group begin to run from the robots. Falco falls behind, so he starts flying)

Shine: (tries running fast, but is somehow slowing down)

Falco: (pointing at a hole in the wall made by a robot) Who here can.... fly?

Shine: (trips and falls behind)

Fetalia: (gasps) Shine!

Shine: I'll...be fine! Just go! Save...yourselves!

Falco: If I fly.... out the window..... I can probably...... carry Shine.

Shine: Go! Before....they get you....

Falco: No way.

(Falco flies back and grabs Shine)

Falco: I hope you're.... not afraid of heights.

Shine: (panting) I'm...slowing you down....just get outta here....

Fetalia: No way, Shine!

Falco: Can anyone blast a... hole in the wall?

Fetalia: Right here!'

Apallo: Wait. I can

Falco: Then I hope nobody minds if.... Shine and I catch the early flight..... out of here?

Fetalia: Do it!

James: And do it fast! *leaps at an incoming robot and jabs his sword through it*

Apallo: -shoots energy from his hands and destroied th erobots in a single blow-

Fetalia: Not bad....

Falco: Ready Shine. If anyone else can.... fly, feel free to..... follow us.

(Falco and Shine fly out of a hole in the wall)

Fetalia: (turns into a shadow and flies after them)

James: *looks at the army of incoming robots* Ehh, it's worth the risk. *dives out of the window*

Chapter 1: 2 Days Later
James: *sitting at the edge of a cliff, mumbling to himself* i should have done something...

Moon: *comes up behind him* Still no sign of Lightning?

[In a house beside the cliff, Falco awakens after being asleep since the attack)

Falco: Wha? Where am I?

(Sonic walks in)

Sonic: Oh hey Falco, you're awake.

Falco: What happened?

Sonic: (frowning) We attacked Eggman's base, remember?

Falco: (looking surprised) We did?

Sonic: (looking confused) Yeah. Are you sure you don't remember?

Falco: I can't remember much over the last few days but I can remember everything from before that.

Sonic: Hmm. (shouting outside to James, Moon and the others) Guys, get in here.

Shine: (unconscious)

Fetalia: (praying for him)

Falco: (after noticing Shine) Who's he and what happened to him. Speaking of that, what happened to me?

Fetalia: Dammit! That idiot doctor's given him amnesia!

Falco: Amnesia? I've only forgotten a couple of days.

Sonic: Is there any other memories that you can't remember anymore.

Falco: (thinking hard) Actually, there are a lot of blanks in my memories. (pointing at Shine) Is that what happened to him too?

Shine: (coming to) Ugh...man, did anyone get the number of that tankor?

Fetalia: Shine! (hugs him tight) I'm so glad you're okay!

Shine: ACK!! Thanks, Fetalia! Can you...let go now?

Falco: Hey, where's Lightning?

Fetalia: Shine, do you remember everything?

Shine: (thinks really hard)....yeah. But....(looks at his hands; his gloves are no longer glowing light blue) That machine...took all my powers....so I can't do anything....

Fetalia: Ooh, the nerve of that guy!

JT: *Simply watching from afar* Hmph...

James: *walks in* Maybe i can whack some memory into Falco... *slowly unsheathes sword*

Fetalia: You sure that's a smart idea?

Apallo: -walks in in bandages- Hey Guys.....

Fetalia: Whoa...

James: No. But it would be fun. Hey Apallo. You doing Alright?

Apallo: Yea..... My Powers are Returning. And Then My Body will heal itself. Hehehe. Grrrrhhhh-clentches side-

James: Well, when's lunch? I'm getting hungry. *sheathes sword*

Falco: Seriously guys, where's Lightning?

Lunas: Good morning everyone

Apallo: Well if it isnt my Kid Genius Brother Lunas

James: *sighs* We don't know where Lightning is, or what happened to him.

Luger: He just ran off after Eggman hit him with that thing.

Up behind Apallo comes Jesse. "Dude, what happened to you?" he asks.

Falco: Hi Jesse. Where have you been?

Apallo: I got ambushed by eggman's Metal Apallo and he drained my powers

Falco: Metal Apallo? Cool!

Shine: You too?!

Falco: I guess I'm lucky that I don't have any Chaos Powers, or I probably would have lost mine too!

Fetalia: Whadda we do now?

Falco: Well if Lightning's gone missing, I suppose we should go look for him, cuz he'd do the same for us.

????????: Help! Someone help me!!

Apallo: -runs to the voice-

Falco: Who's that?

(Falco follows Apallo out towards the voice)

????????: Help!! My friends have been taken!

Fetalia: (follows the cries fro help)

Falco: (shouting to the voice) Hello, can you hear me? Where are you?

????????: I'm over here!

(Falco follows the voice)

Falco: (while walking) What's wrong? Are you ok?

James: *sets down an apple that's half eaten and unsheathes sword* Huh? What's going on?

????????: My friends....Joey and Jimmy....they were taken by Dr. Eggman....

Fetalia: Why that little--!!

Falco: What's your name?

Brittney: I'm Brittney....Brittney the bat.

Falco: OK Brittney, you'll be ok. We'll find your friends. We're looking for one of our friends too. Um

(Falco thinks for a second)

Falco: Lightning.... Yeah that's his name, I think.

Falco: (thinking) How could I forget Lightning's name?

Brittney: oh, thank you! But we gotta hurry, before Eggman trains them to be perfect fighting machines!

Falco: Fighting machines? How can he do that?

Brittney: Painful and stressful training! If we don't hurry, those two could die!

Falco: Then lets go!

(Falco walks over to Shine)

Falco: Are you sure that you haven't suffered any memory loss um....... Shine right, cuz I think that machine is messing with my memory.

Shine: I'm positive, but I can't use my Psychokinesis or run as fast as I normally can.

Falco: Hmm. I wonder why I'm losing parts of my memory and you're just losing your powers. Maybe it effects different people in different ways. Wait a minute, Lightning must have been effected by that machine, but did he lose his powers, his memory or what?

Fetalia: I dunno....but we gotta destroy that machine and fast!

Falco: But then Lightning will still be missing. Maybe we should split into two groups. One group could look for Lightning and the other could try and stop Eggman.

Shine:......I'll help look for Lightning.

Falco: So will I. Who else wants to search for Lightning?

JT: (This "Lightning"... I've heard of them... Where they in the harrier during my creation?)

(Falco looks up and spots JT)

Falco: Hey, who's that?

JT: Well, Eggman called me Operation "JT" But that's all I'm going to say... For now... Sayanora! *Disappears*

Falco: Operation JT?

(Sonic walks up to Falco)

Sonic: Did you say something.

Falco: Yeah. There was a guy up on that rock over there.

Sonic: Hmm. Are you sure it isn't just a symptom of your memory loss?

Falco: No. There was definitely someone up there.

Sonic: (not believing him) Ok......

(Sonic walks away from Falco)

Sonic: (to James, Fetalia, Brittney and Apallo, far enough from Falco so that he cant hear them) I think that machine is making Falco go crazy. He says that he's seeing figures on the rocks who just vanish when someone else arrives. Eggman might have planted some sort of bug in his brain with that machine. I think we should ditch him, it's not very safe to keep him with us, who knows what Eggman might have done to his brain. And we should probably stay away from Shine too.

Apallo: Eggman also dreain my family's powers

Fetalia: Wait, leave Shine hanging and vulnerable?! Are you crazy?!

Sonic: It's just a suggestion, but Shine might not be in full control of himself.

(Falco walks over)

Falco: Hey, what are you guys talking about?

Brittney: Uhhh....nothing?

Falco: (looking suspicious) Ok. So are we splitting up and looking for Eggman and Lightning or what?

Fetalia:......(looks over at Shine, who's unaware of what's happeneing)

Falco: (sees Fetalia looking at Shine) Seriously guys, what's up?

Fetalia: (sighs) It's nothing....

Falco: (still a bit suspicious) Well I'm going to get some rest. We'll begin the search tomorrow.

(Falco leaves and enters the house)

Brittney: 9sighs in relief)

Sonic: So, if we're gonna ditch those two, we should probably do it during the night. Who's with me, and remember that you can't trust either of them.

Brittney: I am!

Sonic; Fetalia, Apallo?

Fetalia:....yeah. (turns around and sort of cries, but makes sure no one sees it)

Sonic: We should leave soon. Shine and Falco are both inside, but should we leave now, or in the middle of the night?

Fetalia:....tonight. (wipes the tears from her eyes, still making sure no one sees her crying)

Sonic: Then lets go get some rest.

(He stops Fetalia as she goes inside)

Sonic: Oh Fetalia, if you're going to say goodbye to Shine, try not to make it obvious ok.

(Sonic goes in to rest)

Fetalia: (goes inside) Shine.....I'm sorry....

(In the middle of the night, Sonic wakes up Brittney, Apallo and Fetalia)

Sonic: (over Fetalia's bed) Ready?

Fetalia: No...I need to say good-bye to Shine....

Sonic; You can't without making him suspicious. We have to go now, sorry.

Fetalia: You don't understand, Sonic. Shine's my partner. He's the only friend I have in the world, the only one was there when I awoke and found my father dead centuries before. To have to be separated from him like this....it's....it's unbearable...I don't know how I can handle it. I wanna get that Assman, but...

Sonic: (chuckling) Assman? (puts on a serious face) I know how you feel. Lightning was one of my best friends and he's gone AWOL. But if we get Eggman we can save Lightning, Shine and Falco. What do you say?

Fetalia: (just silent)

Sonic: (sighs) I'm going now. It's your choice. Come if you want.

(Sonic leaves)

Fetalia:.....(goes to Shine)

Shine: (asleep) Mmmm......

Fetalia: Shine....I know you can't hear me, but....(puts her hand on his chest) I have to go now. I'm sorry to have to leave you hanging, but I'm afraid of losing you if you come. I don't want to leave you, but I promise I'll get your powers back and kick that Assman's eggs right in!

Shine: (stilla sleep) Fetty....

Fetalia:...(smiles and kisses his forehead) Good-bye Shine...I love you...(leaves to catch up with Sonic)

Brittney:....(smiles and follows her)

(Luger and Moon glance back at Shine and Falco then follow the others)

[The next morning Falco wakes up. He looks for everyone and realises that they're gone. He wakes up Shine]

Falco: Shine, wake up.

Shine: (groans) Wha? What happened?

Falco: I dunno but everyone's gone.

Shine: What?!

Falco: Yeah, they're all gone. It's just us. We should look around for a note or something.

Shine:......Fetalia...

Falco: What?

Shine: Last night...when I was dreaming...I heard Fetalia say...she had to leave....and she was afraid of losing me, so I couldn't come....

Falco: Hmm. They're probably long gone, so we have no chance of catching up with them. Maybe we should just stick with the plan and search for Lightning, but we should keep our eye out for everyone else too.

JT: *Feels a disturbance in his head during a rest* Ugh!!... This is wierd, I've never felt this before... Something's wrong...!

Shine: No...there's more....

Falco: Like what?

Shine: She promised....that she would regain my powers....and then kissed me...and she said that.....

Falco: What did she say?

Shine: Her exact words were: "Good bye Shine...I love you...."

Falco: It sounds like she left without a struggle, but she didn't want to. I wonder what happened. We'll probably find some answers if we begin searching for Lightning and those guys. Lets go.

JT: *Disturbances continue to occur, leaving loud pulse noises* Damn... Grrr... *Kneels down* Where are these coming from!?

Shine:.....right.

JT: *Begins to control the pulses, and takes them away* *panting* Right, let's carry on with what I was here to do.

Luger: It still doesn't feel righ t just leaving them.

Moon: I don't like it either, but we are doing this to help them.

Fetalia: Yeah....

JT: *walking through a large feild* "Lightning"...Just who is "Lightning"?

[Back with Shine and Falco]

Falco: Are you ready to go Shine?

Shine: Yeah....but I can't do much without my powers. So you'll probably be on your own for most of the search.

Falco: Yeah well I can't rely on my memory any more so I need you in case I forget something important. Also it can be helpful to have an extra pair of eyes on a search.

Shine: Okay....

Falco: Well then I guess we should be leaving now. C'mon.

Shine: Right!

Falco: Lets go.

(Falco walks out)

Shine: (follows him)

(The two start walking along the cliffs)

Falco: So we have three targets, Lightning, Eggman and the other guys. Who do you want to look for first?

Shine:.....let's find Lightning.

Falco: Ok, lets think. Where would Lightning be?

Shine: (tries to think)

Falco: I'm kinda relying on you here. I can barely remember anything about Lightning at all, thanks to Eggman.

Shine: Hmmm.....well, I don't know much about him. In my timeline, the dude's dead along with nearly every other hero. Sorry....

JT: Oh, It's him again.

Shine: Huh? Who are you?

Falco: I've seen him before, I think. My memory's acting up again.

JT: Apparently, I'm a side effect of the bird's memory loss. Says Sonic.

Shine: Side affect?

Falco: Oh yeah. You were that guy up on the rock. Wait, what do you mean 'says Sonic'?

JT: You should have recognised. Sonic + Knuckles = Me! Simple math!

Falco: So you're a mix of Sonic and Knuckles. Your name, is it PJ or something like that. I can't remember.

JT: *laughing* PJ!? That memory eraser must have taken a part of your brain's thinking side, too!

Shine: I don't have time for this! We have to find Lightning!

JT: He's probably dead. Just like in your timeline! You need some commonsence!!

Shine: There may still be a chance he's alive! And if we don't hurry, it might be too late!

JT: My point exactly. Just who is "Lightning"?

Shine: Huh?

JT: It was a simple question. Who is lightning, what happened, when, where, I just want to know about the weather!

Shine: This is no time for riddles!

JT: Well, it IS 2:15 PM. So it's mandatory.

Shine: Whatever!

JT: Well, I better get back to the dungeon to feed Lightning

Shine: What?!

JT: *laughing* Whoa! You're so gullible!! I don't even work for Eggman anymore.

Shine: (growls) You're wasting our time!

JT: Yeah, sure, Time Waits for no one etc. etc. But here's one more clue, In 3 words...

Shine: Spill it!

JT: SPACE...

Shine: Space?

JT: Ugh! What the hell!? I can't even hear myself THINK from your voice! It sounds like nails on a chalkboard!!

Shine: What are you talking about?

JT: UGH. Again! Your voice! It's irritating!

Shine: (growls) Enough of this!

JT: ...COLONY...

...ARK...

There, Also, Bird? Refer to me as JT. *Leaps into the air*

Shine: Space Colony Ark?

Falco: JT? I prefer PJ. Space Colony Ark, I should know that from somewhere but I can't remember where.

Shine: Well, we gotta find a way to get to space to find it!

Falco: How could Lightning get to the moon unless PJ was talking about something else...

Shine: Well, it's the only clue we've got!

Falco: But how do we get there?

Shine: that's the problem

Falco: If only we could find the others. We could probably borrow Sonic's friend Tails' plane.

Shine: How can a plane even reach space?!

Falco: I dunno but he's done it before. Hmm, do you have a super form?

Shine: I...don't think so....

Falco: (frowning) Is that a no or are you not sure whether you have Chaos Powers yet?

Shine: I don't have my powers, remember? So even if I could go super, it wouldn't do me a lot of help.

Falco: You don't? (under his breath) Stupid memory. (to Shine) I guess we should try and find the others then huh.

Shine: Guess we got no other choice.....

Falco: Lets check the forest. We have no where else to search anyway.

Shine: Right!

(They enter the forest and begin exploring)

Falco: Do you hear something?

Shine: Yeah....

Falco: We should stay on guard.

Shine: (nods)

Shine: Whoa!! Look out!
 * Then they see a tree come crashing down*

Falco: Who's there?

Lightning: *walks up behind the tree* I suggest you run.

Falco: Who are.... wait a minute. Lightning?

Falco: (thinking) I can't even remember what he looks like. Is this Lightning?

Shine: Lightning?!

Lightning: Alright. *thrust both hands forward, and a HUUUUUGGGEEE bolt of lightning flys out of it towards both of them*

Falco: Duck!

(Falco dodges the blast by jumping out of the way)

Falco: Lightning, what are you doing?

Shine: (starts to run away) What is this guy's problem?!

Falco: I don't think he was like this before, but I can't be sure of anything anymore.

Falco: (to Lightning) Lightning buddy, what are you doing?

Lightning: Your not fooling me. *leaps in the air, landing with his feet both driving into the ground about 3 inches and 2 walls of lightning come out of the ground on both sides of Falco and both start flying at him*

Shine: Eggman's machine must've turned him evil!

Lightning: You two are the evil ones here!!! *starts rapidly shooting lightning bolts at Shine*

(Falco jumps in front of the lightning and is tossed back into a tree)

Falco: (in pain) Shine.... do something!

Shine: No powers.....I'm screwed!

"Maybe it's time I dropped in?" said a voice behind them.

Falco: (still in pain) Who are you?
