The heroes had gone to their homes. Strike, Specter, and Breeze went to the underground base that Strike built during their fight with Darkness and the Sirens.

At Rainbow's house, Sonic, Rainbow, Shadow and Sunset were relaxing after their fight with Hijacker.

"Man, I wasn't even sure you were gonna make it through there," Rainbow said, "I was really scared."

"Sorry for that," Sonic said, "I really didn't mean to frighten you, Dashie."

"Who else do you even think that Strike's father might try to bring along to fight with us?" Sunset asked.

"We're not sure," Shadow said, "But we must make sure we are prepared."

The others nodded in agreement as they each began to walk to their rooms to rest up. After Sonic and Rainbow went to their room, Sonic sat down on the bed and Rainbow sat right beside him. She could see that Sonic was looking a little upset about something.

Rainbow placed her hand on Sonic's shoulder as she asked, "Sonic, what's wrong?"

Sonic sighed, "I just still can't believe that my world is gone."

"How did Eggman even destroy Mobius?" Rainbow asked.

Sonic sighed again as he went into explaining, "Well… I guess Eggman just got tired of seeing things on Mobius look all calm and peaceful. He went into his Egg Carrier and began to reign terror and destruction to the lands. But he didn't realize that he was affecting our planet's core. The more he ruined the life on the surface, the more damaged he did, and the more of a chance he came to destroying it. He was willing to do everything he could to destroy me. But now, even though he's gone, so are all of my other friends, the rest of my family… everything. Everything is gone."

Sonic's eyes were forming huge tears of sadness. Rainbow formed tears of sadness in her eyes too, "Sonic, I am so, SO sorry for what happened to Mobius."

Rainbow wrapped her arms around Sonic as she softly pulled him into a strong caring hug. This made Sonic smile as he then returned the hug to his girlfriend and wiped his tears. Then they both brought each other into a soft, but passionate kiss on the lips. This made the two feel much better. When they broke the kiss, they looked deeply into each other's eyes.

"You still have something that I promise you will never, ever lose," Rainbow said, "Me. And I'll do anything I can to help you."

Sonic smiled, "Thank you, Dashie. I love you."

"And I love you too," Rainbow said.

Sonic and Rainbow pulled each other into another hug. Rainbow then stood up and took Sonic's hand, "Come on, let's get you some dinner ready."

Sonic nodded, "Okay."

Sonic and Rainbow went downstairs to have dinner. They cooked their dinner and ate it.

Meanwhile, with Strike, Specter, and Breeze, they were in the hidden hideout doing research on Hijacker while Breeze was explaining everything he could remember before he arrived.

"So, who else got here other than you?" Strike asked his twin.

"No clue," Breeze said, "I have a feeling they may not have the chance to follow."

Specter was searching up a file of his recent encounter with Hijacker, "Hmm, just as I thought."

"What is it?" Strike asked.

"Hijacker was one of the top enforcers of the Claw," Specter said, "He had a history for dealing with speedsters. But we already knew that, but aside from that, there's barely anything."

"How can that be?" Breeze asked.

"Simple," Specter said, "He may have not been encountered that often. So little data would've been gained."

"Do you think there's anything on Dad?" Strike asked.

"I doubt it," Specter said, "After Claw was taken out, Hijacker left. I'm still wondering why he helped Ghost."

Breeze then seemed like he remembered something. He put his hand in his pocket, and took out a memory key. He handed it to Specter.

"What is this exactly?" Specter asked.

"Something I think you'll need to see," Breeze answered.

Specter nodded and put the memory key into the computer. He opened up the files and found something in there that surprised him.

"Specter, what's wrong?" Strike asked.

"T-t-these are my original plans," Specter stammered.

"What plans?" Strike asked.

"The plans for my mobile lab," Specter said, "They were stolen…ages ago. How the heck did you find them, Breeze?"

"I happened to sneak into their base a week ago back on our Earth," Breeze said, "I hacked into their systems and found your files in theirs. And apparently, Dad was involved with this."

Specter spoke, "I need you to get this list of materials. Looks like I have a project to work on."

"That's not the only thing," Breeze said.

Breeze came to the keyboard and typed in something that was in the files and brought it up, "Check this out, guys."

Strike and Specter looked to see what this was. Their eyes widen in shock. What they witnessed was a massive flying doom ship. It looked like it had so many weapons and cannons on the topsides of it. There were huge engines on the wings. There were rockets on the back and bottom. At the back on top was a huge command bridge, and the middle and front had runways with jets.

"Whoa," Strike said, "What is that thing?"

Specter thought about this for a second, "That's… my ship. Ghost stole my ship, and messed with everything. He will pay."

"Oh, get over it," Strike crossed his arms.

"Oh, you try having all your life's work stolen," Specter argued, "Then rebuild everything from scratch."

Breeze got between them, "Break it up, guys. We have a job to do."

"Yeah," Specter said.

"All right," Strike said.

"But there is one thing," Specter said, "How did Ghost build this in such a short time? And where did he get the resources to do this?"

Breeze took a deeper look into the files, and then, "GASP!"

"What?" Specter asked jokingly, "Find the evil old man's recipe for evil cookies?"

Strike sighed in announce. Breeze slowly turned and said, "Dad has… Negative Speed Force powers."

Strike had a shocked face, while Specter said, "Well, that is… unexpected."

Strike turned right to Specter, "Why did you come up with this stuff in the first place!?"

Specter held his hands up, "Hey, how was I supposed to know my work was gonna get stolen? Calm down, dude."

Strike sighed, "We should get this to Sonic and the others."

"Good thinking," Breeze said.

"You guys take a copy," Specter said, "I'll stay here and go over the files. I'm gonna see if I can find any weaknesses in the ship."

Specter made a copy in another memory key and handed it to Strike and Breeze. Strike and Breeze nodded as they left the hideout to find Sonic and the others. Specter went into looking into the files.

Back to Sonic and Rainbow, they were just putting their dishes from their dinner in the dishwasher.

"Ready to call it a night, Sonic?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah," Sonic said, "I hear it's gonna be a long day tomorrow."

Sonic and Rainbow were about to head upstairs when they could hear a really strange sound from right behind them. They turned to see that Strike and Breeze phased in with their speed.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sonic asked.

"We've got trouble," Strike said, "And a really big problem."

Strike put a round device on the center of the table. Breeze handed Strike the memory key and Strike put into the device. It showed Sonic and Rainbow the ship that they discovered earlier.

"What is that?" Rainbow asked.

"Something we all need to talk about," Breeze said.

Later, everyone was gathered in Rainbow's home seeing the ship.

"Apparently, this was originally Specter's plan for the future of our world," Strike said, "But father and Ghost stole them ages ago. As far as we could get to grabbing their info, this thing can easily travel through dimensions."

"It's not just made out of my plans," Specter said, "It's also made out of Strike's futuristic technology like the type that he created to build this city back on our world called Central Atlanta."

"Wait," Tails said, before he turned to Strike, "Strike, you created a city?"

"Yes," Strike said, "All by myself in just one day."

Everyone, except Specter and Breeze had a shocked face. Strike explained, "It was build by my super advanced futuristic technology that I also created with my power. It became the largest city and the most popular town on my world. And it's not just a city on land; it's also underwater, underground, and on high mountains."

"Whoa," the Mobians and girls all said.

"That's amazing!" Silver said.

Strike gave a little smirk, "Heh, I know, I'm pretty crafty and creative."

"When he wants to be," Specter cut in.

"How long ago did you create it?" Rarity asked.

"About two years ago back on my world," Strike said.

Specter then acted like he was jealous, "One problem is that he makes things faster than I do. It's not fair."

"Well," Breeze said, "No offense, but you're not a speedster."

"None taken," Specter said, "Besides, I put more thought into what I create."

"Not to mention, it's more like thought of weapons rather than of peace," Strike said.

"Actually, I think it's a bit of both," Specter said.

"Anyway, did you find any weaknesses to the ship?" Breeze asked.

"No," Specter sighed, "This thing looks too strong to have any weaknesses."

"Have you been able to see anything inside the ship?" Rainbow asked.

"Somehow, I can't get into that," Specter said.

"I think I have just the thing," Strike said.

Strike took out something from his pocket. He placed it on the monitor device, and then beside the ship was a blue head of a woman with no hair.

"Who- or what's that?" Fluttershy asked.

The head slowly turned to Fluttershy, making her a little afraid, until Strike said, "It's okay, Fluttershy. This is Gideon. I created her myself on my world a long time ago."

Gideon spoke to Fluttershy, "Hello, Fluttershy."

"She knows who I am?" Fluttershy said surprised.

"She recognizes you and the other girls," Strike said, "Because there are each of you on my world."

Strike cleared his throat and Gideon turned back to him. Strike said, "Gideon, can you see if there is anything that we can use against the ship?"

"Scanning," Gideon said, "There doesn't seem to be anything, but I have detected the location of the main engine."

"Can you show us?" Strike asked.

Gideon disappeared on the monitor, but it zoomed in at the ship and showed the insides of it. They could see the main engine was somewhere in the middle of the inside.

"The main engine is the only thing that you may have a chance to use to destroy the ship," Gideon said, "But it is heavily guarded."

"Crud," Strike said, "There just may not be an easy chance to get in there."

"I've also discovered secret projects that they have been working on," Gideon said.

The monitor now showed what looked like super advanced fight mechanical robots.

"What are those things?" Specter asked.

"These are Strafe's Meta-Bots," Gideon said, "They are designed with the abilities of super strength and speed. They are not as powerful as you or your friends, but they are very strong and deadly."

Specter put his finger on his chin and thought about this carefully, "I've heard about these things before."

"You have?" Sonic asked.

"Yes," Specter said, "These were part of a special defense project about a month after the accident, that was while Strike and Breeze were in their comas."

"Wait," Rarity said, "Breeze, you went into the same coma as Strike?"

"Yeah," Breeze said, "But that was different. I was with dad at a racecar workshop. We were working on some super advanced racing engines for some special types of racecars. But then the energy from the explosion from O.M.E.G.A. Labs hit me and a lightning bolt hit an engine I had my hand stuck in. And then I was in my coma."

"And while all of that was going on, Claw and his group showed up and started taking over," Specter said, "And we all know how that turned out."

Strike then had a sad look on his face, and Specter noticed, "Oh, sorry, Strike."

Strike just turned away sadly. "Maybe lay off bringing up what he did?" Breeze said, "He seems to still be pretty sensitive about what happened."

"Yeah," Specter said.

Strike sighed as he turned the device and Gideon off, "I guess that's everything we can get for now. Hopefully, we can get more information later."

The others nodded, but they all needed to rest. So Sonic, Rainbow, Shadow, and Sunset got themselves ready for bed while the others left and went home.

Somewhere else…

In what looked like a lab, some people were working on the robots that the heroes discovered earlier. The pieces were getting put together, their fighting skills were being tested, and they were being given their abilities and weapons.

Hijacker was at a table rebuilding his revolvers. As he was fixing them, he thought angrily, "Grr, I don't know who that guy was, but I'll make sure that he won't survive my new advanced bullets."

Hijacker just finished making his new revolvers and he holstered them, "Now the only problem is finding them."

Ghost came in, "Hello, Hijacker. Still angry about getting beaten?"

Hijacker growled, "What? It ain't obvious?"

Rainbine zoomed into the room, "Your toys fixed, Hijacker?"

Hijacker whooshed right into Rainbine's face, "These ain't toys. Unlike that big sheet of metal you have on your arm."

Ghost sighed, "Here we go," he touched a button on his mask and activated a soundproof mode so he wouldn't hear a thing.

Rainbine and Hijacker began to argue with each other. Ghost just shook his head. He sat on a chair and just decided to take a nap. Then a blackish red blur appeared between Rainbine and Hijacker. It was Strafe.

"Enough, both of you," Strafe said, "We have work to do. And you, Hijacker, will keep away from Rainbine."

"Tell her that," Hijacker crossed his arms.

"Sorry," Strafe said, "But she listens to my orders better than you do. So technically, she gets more respect from me than you do."

Hijacker noticed Ghost was asleep. He walked over to him, gently lifted up the right earpiece, and yelled really loudly in Ghost's ear, "WAKE UP!"

Ghost instantly woke up screaming in surprise, "AAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Ghost accidently punched Hijacker in the face. Hijacker staggered back and growled, "Hey! You're gonna pay for that!" and he lunged at Ghost.

Strafe sighed, "Those two are idiots."

Rainbine face palmed. She then said, "I just don't understand why you need Strike alive."

Strafe explained, "As I told you, he was given DNA from every other parallel world around the multiverse when he got his powers. It made him over one hundred percent healthy, and I learned that it could be the very cure to everything. I need him alive for two things. 1: I want him to go back in time and save his mother. And 2: I need his DNA to cure me."

Hijacker and Ghost just continued to fight each other without listening. Strafe yelled at them angrily, "ENOUGH!"

Ghost and Hijacker suddenly stopped and froze. Ghost's fist was an inch away from Hijacker's face, and Hijacker was about to knee Ghost in the stomach. They quickly let go of each other and looked at Strafe scared.

Ghost asked, "Uh, what do you want us to do?"

Strafe growled, "Find my sons, Specter, and any other allies that they may have. Oh, and Ghost, get our… special guest from his room. He may want to meet Specter."

Ghost nodded, "Yes, sir."

Strafe left the room. Hijacker looked at Ghost, confused, "Uh, what was that about?"

Ghost answered, "Nothing we need to be worried about."

Somewhere in a vent, two male figures were quietly spying on them. One of them pointed at something on the table.

"Get that file," the first figure said.

While Rainbine, Ghost, and Hijacker weren't paying attention a string of webbing caught a memory key and pulled it up into the vent.

The other figure grabbed the memory key, "All right, this should be it. Now we gotta find the others."

The first figure nodded as they both quietly sneaked away through the vent.
