Mephlies teleported Ari, Shadow and Rouge to another location called Crisis City which it looked destroyed and on fire. Ari was shocked of what happened to the city while Rouge and Shadow was wondering where that were located. (Rouge): "We need to head to the computer room to see where we are." Shadow nodded softly to her while all three of them started to walk to computer room. When they got to the computer room, Rouge started to pinpoint there location to know where they are. (Rouge): "I'm in... I've pinpointed our location, It's... No... that's not possible... We're still in the Doctor's base. But how can that be? Wait there's no doubt now!" Ari looked confused of what she was talking about till Shadow had a solution that they went through time. It made Ari surprised that they went through a horrible time were buildings were destroyed and being on fire. (Rouge): "Yes... Approximately 200 years. Maybe more, depending on when this database was last updated. Well, at least we know we've arrived in the future. That means this Mephiles character has the power to control time." Ari was starting to have flashing images of the nightmare again seeing building burning down and being broken. Shadow saw her holding her head while screaming painfully. He gently holded her arms a little bit and started to help her calm down. (Shadow): "Hey, its ok. We will find a way to go back to the present. its going to be alright." Arishy's flashbacks stopped slowly while she was looking at him that she started to blush red on her face. Rouge started to notice the blush on her face and giggled very quietly from know what was going on now. Ari nodded softly that she slowly started to get up from falling to the ground in pain. Shadow gently holded her hand to help her get up from the ground then gently let her go when she was fulling standing up. Then the all heard bumps in the room that Shadow and Rouge went to see who it was.
In the Crisis City. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fall down from a purple burst in the top of the room. Sonic lands on his feet, Tails lands on his rump, and Knuckles lands on his head. Shadow, Ari and Rouge were in a higher range that Ari saw someone that she recognized. (Ari): "Sonic!" Sonic looked at them and smiled softly that she was in a safe place with shadow and Rouge together. (Rouge): "long time no see" Ari started to race down a level to meet Sonic and the gang that she hugs Sonic tightly. She was so glad to see him ok but worried for Elies. Ari asked Sonic a question about her which sadly Sonic told her that he is still trying to save her.
Arishy P.O.V
I hope she is doing ok, I am so worried about my friend but I'm so glad that Sonic found some friends and get to see him again. Then we looked over the buildings being destroyed while Sonic and Shadow were talking to each other, I noticed Tails was looking at me and was wondering if he was checking me out. (Ari): "Hey, you feeling ok Tails" He told me that he was ok, he was wondering if I was ok but that made me blush a little bit till Rouge had to step in to tell him that I was ok. (Rouge): "She is alright, she is a tough girl. Besides she's got something else on her mind~" I blushed bright red knowing what Rouge was talking about and Tails was wondering what it was. (Tails): "Do you know what that would be Ari" I sighed softly and pulled tails aside so Shadow or Sonic would not here us. (Ari): "I'm starting to develop on a crush on S-Shadow" Tails was shocked that I was falling in love with Shadow as Rouge giggled softly to herself. (Rouge): "I knew it from the body the language" I face palm myself thinking I was an idiot of showing my body language. After Shadow and Sonic's talk, we were told that we would have to work together to get present. So we splitted up that I was with Shadow and Rouge again walking around empty broken rooms to see what we can find. Till Rouge started to nudge me which I was trying to ignore. (Rouge): "You should make the first move, make him notice you~" I told her I couldn't cause I was very shy talking to him. But she giggled softly and started to push me right next to Shadow that I was blushing red. I was trying to hide the best I can, but it really wasn't working. Me and Shadow were walking together feeling quiet and I really had nothing to say to him. Then I gently tried to reach his hand but he stopped to see and object that was on the ground. We noticed a dusty E-123 Omega lying down against a building which Shadow looked at Omega to see what was up with him (Shadow): "It seems he's in standby mode." I looked around Omega to see any details till I accidently bumped into Shadow caught me by my side while I didn't realized by accepting my fall. But when i looked up, I started blushing red that Shadow catches me. (Shadow): "Are you ok?" I nodded fast and stood up quickly thinking nothing has happened. Rouged smiled softly till they got a call from Sonic and his friends. (Rouge): "Yes, this is Rouge. Understood. We'll be there in a minute. It looks like Sonic and his friends have found something, too. Let's go. It's not like we can do anything for him now." Shadow nodded softly as we both walked away but Rouge a little more hesitantly which I helped her that there was nothing they can do and needed to head home. She nodded and looked at me while smirking at me. (Rouge): "So~ How did it feel held by-" (Ari): "Shut it!" I covered my mouth seeing Shadow looking at me that i slowly started to feel embarrassed. Shadow then slowly turned around, that I covered my face of feeling embarrassed that my cheek marks were started to glow without noticing
