Chapter Text
Stone walked out of his car and started to walk. He looked at sonic and clenched his fists, then he looked at Tom.
“Things have been turned to shit thanks to you both, things haven't been great because of you both, and i'm sure y’all think this will be a learning experience or a friendship bonding experience. But it's not and it never will be okay? My main thing is to get Robotnik, I'm not interested in getting to know you” He looked at Tom “Or you” He hissed at Sonic.
Sonic glared at Stone and opened his mouth to say something but was only stopped by Tom “We understand and sonic “He looked at the blue hedgehog “Will be on his best behavior.” Sonic crossed his arms and nodded slightly.
They walked into Robotnik's makeshift lab, Stone sat in his chair and looked around. “I was thinking about getting some people to help with this, I'm not a scientist neither are you both.“ Stone turned around and looked at the screens
Tom and Sonic looked at eachother “That’s true, but you need to at least give Sonic a chance. He is the only person that knows how to work on...this” Tom walked closer “But, we can't have other people help, they could take Sonic and possibly hurt him.” Tom looked at Stone
Stone sighed and thought for a moment. Why do things have to be like this? The one time when he has a chance he has to go and be nice to this pest. What if they do this and its too late, or what if Ivo doesn't want to come back. He sat for a moment wondering what to do. “Just give me a minute” Stone stood up and walked out of the Lab.
He walked around, he looked at all the army cars that were deserted, looking for anything to help. To his surprise he found absolutely nothing, he ran his hands through his hair gritting his teeth. He paced slightly, his mind trying to work something out but to his fault he found nothing.
He felt so stupid, Stone was finally about to do shit but he couldnt even do it right. Robotnik would be so pissed, hell Ivo would probably want him to just give up and leave him be. He cursed at himself, his thoughts going dark. Stone teared up grabbing hard onto his arm, He soon looked up when he heard Tom and Sonic running over to him.
“STONE!” Tom ran over
Stone looked up and quickly wiped his eyes. “W-what is it?”
“I know what to do! H-How to get to him!” Sonic stood in front of Stone and huffed heavily
“Y-You do!?” Stone smiled
“Y-yes We-” Tom stopped and looked at sonic then stone “I'll let Sonic explain”
Sonic held a small brown cloth bag with a small string closing whatever was inside. He looked at Stone “I've had this bag since i was a kid, my caretaker gave it to me. The bag contains rings, small gold rings that open different portals, one could open the portal where Robotnik is”
Stone looked ecstatic “Well what are we waiting for?!” He tried to snatch the bag, Stone tried to take the bag and Sonic smacked his hand away.
“Dont” Sonic held the bag closer “Since I had this i've used more than enough of them, and ive lost many. We need to be careful, I only have 3 left”
“I-I…what's going to happen after we use the 3rd one.” Stone asked
“We won't use the third one, if we plan it correctly, we can use one to get to the planet, and use one to get home.” Sonic hid the bag
“We? There is no we this th-” Stone was interrupted by Tom
“There will be a we in this equation, You will need all the help to get him back and we are the only ones who can help you.”
Stone sighed and thought for a moment “Youre right, But how? And what if this doesnt work?” Sonic chuckled
“Stone you need to have hope, its going to work” Sonic smiled
“Okay, so we need to make a plan.” Stone looked at Tom
