Episode 53 {1}

Previously on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius... {2}
After meeting the Seedrians, their leader Lady Earthia, and a Wisp by the name of Yacker, Sonic was tasked with leading the charge against the alien invaders known as the Black Arms.
Hailing from an asteroid in orbit of Planet Wisp known as the Black Comet, the Black Arms' leader Black Doom only has one intention at the moment: Capture Sonic, and bring him back to the Black Comet... alive. While Sonic, the Seedrians and the Wisps put up a good fight against the Black Arms, many stars rained down on the black creatures, killing them instantly! Responsible for the star shower was a purple Mobian cat that somehow knows Sonic...
Who is this cat? And how does she know Sonic? Can she help Sonic liberate Planet Wisp from the Black Arms? Will Black Doom be able to capture Sonic, and conquer Planet Wisp? Find out next on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius!

Chapter Three: I Cici a Cat!

"Wait a sec." Sonic told the cat in front of him. "How do you know my name, if I don't even know you at all?"
"My name is Cici." Said the cat. "And the reason why I know you is because a mutual friend of ours keeps in contact with me. Does Knuckles ring a bell?" This made Sonic jump with excitement before racing up into Cici's face. {3}
"Are you saying you can talk to people back on Mobius?!" He asked her in desperation.
"Uh-huh." Was all she said while nodding.
"Please, you have to show me!" Begged Sonic as he grabbed Cici's hands and held them in desperation.
"All right, follow me." Cici replied.
"Sir Sonic?" Asked on of the Seedrians.
"Chill out, guys. Just tell Earthia I'm contacting my home planet." Sonic told them as he and Yacker followed Cici.

As he and Yacker followed Cici through an open field, Sonic couldn't help but be amazed by the sight of trees over the horizon, and the entire field was filled with flowers. {4}
"*whistle* What a sight..." He said as he looked all around. Both Cici and Yacker noticed Sonic's curiousity and giggled.
"Yeah, even though the Black Arms are still a pretty big threat, this planet is still the same as it was when the Seedrians came here." This made Sonic stop walking.
"And just how long have you been here, Cici?" He asked her.
"Not as long as you might think..." Said a deep, male voice that came from nowhere, that made Sonic's head start darting around. "In fact, Cici and myself arrived here just a few years ago..."

"Salem, did you have to follow me?" Cici asked before a black cat wearing a traditional karate uniform appeared as if from nowhere, startling Sonic.
"Yes? YOU were the one who told me to sneak behind you!" The black cat replied in confusion.
"*giggle* I so did." Cici whispered to Sonic. "I just wanted him close to me. *giggle*"
"Uh-huh. So, about how you contact Mobius?" Asked Sonic, impatiently stamping his foot.
"Oh, right! This way." Cici replied. As the black cat Cici called Salem walked beside Sonic.
"You're probably wondering how I can blend in with my surroundings like that, aren't you?" He asked the blue hedgehog.
"Well, yeah." Sonic replied. "Cause the only Mobians I know that can do that are chameleons like Espio."
"Hmph. Espio was actually the one who taught me how to do it." Said Salem, making Sonic whistle in awe.
"Dude, I don't think you could've asked for a better teacher..." He told the black cat.

Meanwhile, Black Doom had returned to the Black Comet, and he wasn't in a happy mood... {5}
"That blasted feline..." He said under his breath, before turning his attention to a pod that had a brown Mobian cat within it, and a chamber with what looked like Wisps in it. "How are our experiments progressing, Axtius?"
"Well, according to these readouts..." Axtius replied. "The clone of Cici the Cat is almost fully energized. And as for our Hybrid Wisps, they're ready and waiting to be released."
"Excellent." Said Black Doom. "And what of the other Wisps? Have all of their Hyper-go-on power been extracted from them?"
"See for yourself..." Axtius told him as he showed Black Doom to another chamber that had purple and violet Wisps within it. All of the Wisps were angry and ferocious making Black Doom laugh.
"Excellent." He said. "Once the Mobian clone is ready, have her lead our Wisps on a mission to capture that hedgehog." Before Axtius replied, a smashing sound was heard from behind them. {6}
"Don't worry, boys..." Said a female voice that sounded like Cici's. When Axtius and Black Doom turned around, they saw the brown cat open up the two fans in her hands. "I'm ready for my first samba..." As she said that, a smirk was seen on her face.

At that moment, Cici and Salem had led Sonic and Yacker to a valley, that had a cliff on the end of it. On top of the cliff was an altar, and surrounding the altar was seven star-shaped jewels, with a larger one in the middle of the altar. {7}
"Whoa..." Was all Sonic managed to say, as he was amazed to see this sight.
"Well Sonic, welcome to New Star View Valley." Cici said to him. "This is where Salem & I protect the Chaos Stars up there."
"Chaos Stars?" Asked Sonic.
"I'll explain later." Cici replied before changing the subject. "Don't you wanna contact Mobius?"
"Yes! How do you do it?"
"Before Salem and I came here with the Chaos Stars three years ago..." Cici said as she grabbed something from the altar. "...we took one of these." She then held a Ring out to Sonic, making him confused.
"A Ring?" He asked.
"Not just any Ring, Sonic..." Salem pointed out.
"It's a Chatter Ring." Added Cici. "And it can be used to talk to anyone you want."
"Really? Sweet!" Sonic said with joy as he took the Ring and spun it around his finger. "So... how does it work?"
"Well, like a Warp Ring, you just throw it in the air until gets large enough, then touch the Ring and think about the person you wanna talk to." Salem replied. Sonic then flipped the Ring off of his thumb, and it grew in size slightly. Sonic then touched the Ring with his left index finger.
"C'mon, Tails..." He said softly. "Can you hear me, bud?"

Meanwhile, back on Mobius, in Freedom HQ to be exact, Tails, Amy and Nicole were sitting in the living room, looking pretty down. {8}
"What's happening to us?" Tails asked. "We're falling apart..."
"What do you mean, Tails?" Nicole asked back, making Amy angry...
"Open your eyes, Nicole!" She shouted. "Sonic is dead, the last we saw of TodStar, he was heading for the Sandopolis Ruins, and Sally's been possessed again!"
"Oh. I see..." Nicole said softly, now looking upset.
"(Didn't know you cared that much about Sally...)" Tails thought as he looked at Amy.
"*sigh* I'm sorry, Nicole. I'm just upset..." Amy told her.

"I wish Sonic was still here... he'd be able to make to make us feel better..." Tails said to himself, before a Ring appeared before him, and Sonic's face was within it!
"...Tails..." He said, making the fox boy jump. "Can you hear me, bud?"
"Sonic!!" He shouted with joy, making Amy's face light up. {9}
"Tails! Oh, thank Chaos!" Sonic said after hearing Tails' voice.
"SONIC!!!" Amy screamed as she jumped in front of Tails to see him, startling him. "You're still alive!"
"Yikes!" Sonic exclaimed. "Hey, Amy. Man, it's good to see you guys."
"Likewise, Sonic." Said Tails. "What happened? We all thought you died when you defeated Enerjak."
"Heh, so did I." Sonic replied before he told his old friends about his time away from Mobius. "See, I ended up in this void, where I met a little guy called a Wisp..."

At that moment, a flash of light was seen in Downunda... {10}
"...CONTROL!!!" Shouted TodStar as he appeared from the flash with the seven Chaos Emeralds in hand. But after the flash disappeared, TodStar dropped the Emeralds and fell to the ground in exhaustion. "*pant* The... Chaos... ugh." TodStar had passed out after he said that, which was when six Mobians showed themselves...
"Strewth... never thought we'd see this bloke again!" Said the smallest one.
"Yeah..." Added the large, muscular one. "I mean, we all thought that he, Vector and Lily were killed when that Eggman bloke blew up the orphanage..."
"So... we leavin' him here, or what?" Asked the bird-like Mobian with the tail of a beaver.
"Not on your life!" Shouted the only female Mobian in the area. "We gotta find out what he's doin' with the Chaos Emeralds, after all..."
"Yeah, but maybe we oughta keep 'em away from him..." Said the tall, Mobian with a laid-back kind of voice. "I'm gettin' a really bad vibe from the Emeralds being so close to him, man..."
"Good idea." Said the one Mobian with the longest tail, that seemed to be their leader. "Okay guys, let's get our old mate back to our hideout." While all of them carried at least one Chaos Emerald, the larger one also had TodStar unconscious over his shoulder. "TodStar... how'd you survive, mate?"

Later that night, Locke was busy watching the Master Emerald when the face of a grey echidna appeared before him in a Ring... {11}
"So... you are the current Guardian of the Master Emerald..." He said to Locke.
"What? Who are you, and how did you come across a Chatter Ring?" Locke asked the echidna.
"*chuckle* I am Imperator Ix of the Nocturnus Clan. And you can thank an echidna by the name of Finitevus that we have returned to Mobius at last." The echidna replied, making Locke widen his eyes in fear.
"Finitevus? Nocturnus Clan? No... impossible!" Locke shouted in disbelief.
"*chuckle* While you comtemplate your mistake Guardian, allow me to make your job more interesting..." As the echidna said that, the Master Emerald was consumed by an aura of darkness before it shattered! {12}
"NO!!!" Locke screamed as the grey echidna was laughing and laughing. Not long after, all of Angel Island began to shake...
