What Do The Rest Of Us Do

Having had a considerable amount of time to brood-a few weeks to be precise- the crew of the Blue Typhoon would be disbanded. A vacation was much in order. Not Sonic or Amy or even Chris talked about what they saw. Leaving the desolate planet with a strong feeling of ineptitude wasn't exactly their style-but what more could they do? On the other hand, home never felt sweeter. And this little planet was ripe for the taking. Mobius they called it, filled with oceans, forests, and deserts, but more importantly, people.

The adventurers were inhabitants of the Acorn Kingdom (friendly with all kingdoms except the Iron Kingdom and the Kingdom of Knottingham), located west of their continent. Most of them living in houses near the coast. Anything east of the continent was a kingdom known as the Dragon Empire (friendly with all kingdoms except the Golden Hive Kingdom and the Iron Kingdom), south(another kingdom and continent) was the Golden Hive (friendly with all kingdoms except the Dragon Empire and the Iron Kingdom). The land north was Eggman controlled, or so he proclaimed (friendly to no one). He never much stayed there, besides there not being much of anything there. The floating Angel Island stayed immobile atop the west, miles south from where they lived. An ocean over to the east was the Knottingham Kingdom, (similar to that of the people of Acorn)(friendly with the Iron Kingdom/ Golden Hive/ Dragon Empire), off the coast of the fair peoples' Knottingham was Albion-the ancient ruins of the first recorded echidnas. On the same continent as Knottingham and rest of, there was the massive Kingdom of Iron (friendly to only Knottingham/ rumors had it they plotted with the devious Doctor Eggman). A whole continent and a half to the south-west, was an adjacent continent known as Down-unda. This was where most of the echidna population moved after the forgotten wars. (The echidnas were neutral in the Iron Wars). Its capital city was the rebuilt city of Echidnopolis. (The old city could be found in ruins scattered atop Angel Island).

The Typhoon landed in its birthing hole a few miles from Tails' home, apparently all land owned by a previous Prower. The ship rumbled, the landing felt more like a crash. A large quantity of debris fell in the cave next to the ship. Not only was it not much to look at, but it was no longer practical to fly the ship. Tails planned to decommission the ship soon enough, but not now, he wanted to lay on his bed and do nothing. The friends parted ways after meeting outside the hangar, leaving an awful taste in their mouths. Each went to their individual homes. Cream politely invited Éleos over for dinner and he obliged and said he would join her later that evening.

"Now remember, if you follow the trail that leads to the castle, it will take you to a small town called Thumbnut. Our house is the one in the forest to the left of the town. Amy will you be coming too?"

"No Cream, not tonight."

Sonic handed a small bag to Knuckles,"Oh? What's this?"

"It's a thank you, for lending them." He thanked, not giving a care in the world.

Knuckles opened the bag, it contained three of the Chaos Emeralds. While he stuffed the shards of the Master Emerald inside, he said,"Those were mine to begin with pal. I hope Shadow has better luck with the rest of them."

"Some people just don't know how to say you're welcome." Sonic shrugged. Knuckles noticed Rouge by herself.

"Hey Rouge, if you don't have anywhere to stay, you can stay at my place. Besides I hardly go in there, I sleep outside." The bat glared at the echidna. "Yeah right, knowing you you're probably a slob. No place for a woman like me."
