Knothole was indeed a center of attention! For a hidden village, it sure did seem to be attracting a lot of strange visitors today. Was it the importance to this world's time line that drew so many portal exits to form there? Or perhaps there was another cause (such as the time stones buried beneath Sally's hut*), no one could be really sure. Speaking of being buried...Near the huts of Bunnie and Rotor, a low groan erupted from the earth below. "Mrrnnnnrrruhhhhhhh" the sound echoed through the village, as if uttered by some lost forgotten soul; Suddenly, a hand burst from the ground and began feeling about for it's surroundings before finally resting itself on the soft, loamy soil. "Grrrnnnnnnhhhhhh......" a low moan sounded again, as the hand began to pull against the earth. Suddenly, the filthy, grimy head of what appeared to be some sort of hideous mobian corpse from the depths of hell itself popped out from the ground, roots, bits of rock and foliage tangled in it's fur. The head shook violently, like a wet dog trying to dry itself, in a vain attempt to rid itself of the debris stuck to it. A disgusted expression quickly over came the facial features of the filthy creature... *PATOOIE*The strange creature, now recognizable as a Mackenzie River Huskie, though...not exactly a normal one, spat out a big clump of mud onto the ground, a few beetles fleeing from it, finally free from the captivity of the huskie's mouth. "BLECH! Ewwww!", said the head, as it looked around, taking in it's surroundings. It appeared that, whomever this was, had arrived in a homely little village of some sort. "Uhhh.... little help? Anyone?!" the seemingly disembodied huskie head cried out, hoping for someone to come to it's aid... Rotor walked out of his hut, rubbing sleep from his eyes to see what all the commotion was about. He stepped off his front porch and began to search for the source of the cry he'd heard moments earlier, only to trip over something soft and...furry? "Unnf!" the walrus grunted as he smacked into the ground, a look of confusion upon his face. He slowly righted himself and turned about to see what it was he'd tripped on. His expression of confusion turned to one of horror when his eyes settled on the disembodied head of a Mackenzie River Huskie.... "HI!" the huskie said, greeting the engineer warmly, "My name's Rail! What's yours?", his eyes looking up at Rotor questioningly. Rotor froze in horror. This couldn't be! Impossible! Say it wasn't so! Yet here it was, right in front of him. He looked about desperately, hoping to see someone else rushing to his aid, yet no one else was about. He turned back to the talking head, his eyes in disbelief. "Z....z-z-z-z-zah....zahh.........ZOMBIEEEEEEE!" Rotor cried, gathering himself up and running to the nearest hut as fast as his lethargic form could carry him, which was actually a lot faster than one would expect. "BUNNNIEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Rotor cried in panic as he ran up to the rabbit's door and began pounding on it, he'd never been so terrified in his life! It was just like the movies he'd seen as a kid before the coup! It's all over! Forget killer robots, it was the night of the living dead! Rail frowned at this, "What a wierd guy..." he said to himself in wonder as he tried to find a means of freeing himself, "and what kind of name is Z...z-z-z-z-zah zahh Zombie Bunnieeeeee anyway? Damn country bumpkins..." (((*see: SatAM episodes: Blast to the Past, parts 1 and 2)))

...And a lemur tripped over Rail after suddenly appearing. After cursing to himself and brushing himself off, he couldn't discern what was weirder - the fact that he tripped over a disembodied head, or the fact that he was in a new place entirely than before. He emitted a rather intelligent decree of "Waauughuh?"

Rail shook his head violently in response to the lemur's foot bashing into the back of his head. People seemed to be falling over all around him today. Rail wondered why the people in this village acted so strangely. The huskie felt a pang of annoyance, he didn't much care for the customs of these country people. Such reckless falling around could really hurt someone! How uncivilized... Looking to the Lemur, Rail decided that perhaps this country bumpkin may be more hospitable than the last. After all, he had glasses on. Smart people wear glasses! So maybe this was the smart country bumpkin. Surely, with his great glasses, he must be their leader! How fortunate! "Hi there mister country hick leader guy!" the seemingly bodiless Rail exclaimed in an upbeat fashion. Rail looked at the lemur, his eyes welling up like those of a small kitten "Say, think you could do me a big favor? Pleeasseeeeee?" he begged...

"Country hick... wah?" He tilted his head and looked down at the husky. "I dunno what you mean.. my name's Aaron. Aaron Jenkins." H kneels down to look closer at him. "I'd shake your hand, but... yeah. I assume you want me to help you out?" He took a moment to observe his surroundings: little huts? Forest? What was all this? Last he remembered he was in an open field... then he must have had the fastest spontaneous drug trip ever and now he was here.

Rotor banged on Bunnie's door with all his might, trying to find shelter from the undead terror that was no doubt right behind him. The Living Dead was Rotor's greatest fear and at last, his nightmares had finally come true. Rotor wasn't going to stick around for this one, no way. He pushed against the door, trying to force it open, but suddenly, the door wasn't there anymore. Rotor's body stumbled forward and fell... and fell.... and fell... "Augggghhhhh" his voice echoed as the portal sealed shut behind him. "LEEEEERRROOOYYYYYYY! JENKINS!"Rail grinned and nodded happily. Obviously this bumpkin was a lot smarter than the other bumpkins. After all, he WAS wearing glasses. "Nice to meet you Aaron! My name's Rail!" the river huskie exclaimed, pleased that HE had 'found' the 'smart one' of this strange tribe of country people. They lived in a forest, so they must be a tribe. Rail was very sure of this. After all, the TV had told him such, so it must be so. He wondered if they put on masks and danced around camp fires at night. He decided that they must, because tribal forest country bumpkin people like to do that sort of thing. Yes, all the pieces were falling into place. Rail was stunned by his own brilliance. "Think you could get the rest of me out of the ground?" Rail asked pleasantly, his eyes welling up in his best begging face once again. "This dirt is really itchy!" he added pointlessly. Despite his upbeat, happy attitude, Rail's eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly as a wave of anxiety and worry came over him. He remembered that channel 37 had said tribal people were savages! He furiously hoped that these tribal forest country bumpkin savages wouldn't try to sacrifice him to their volcano god! Or make him marry an ugly fat chick with missing teeth at gun point! After all, the TV said that native tribal forest country bumpkin savages do stuff like that. Rail decided that he would have to watch his back around these freaks.

Aaron looked around for something he could use to dig; he found a small scrap of wood and decided it would do nicely enough. He began shuffling the dirt aside. "Rail? I can't say I've heard a name like that before." His eyes traveled across his face a little bit; he seemed oddly familiar. There were seams across his face, though because of his long fur they were very subtle. "I can't help but notice I've seen someone like you before."

Rail paused for a moment, considering the lemur's words. Then he felt it, the pride, THE JUSTICE! "Well I am a conservative! Just like my uncle Coburn!**" He announced proudly, " Our numbers grow every day! I've conserved several metric tons of stuff at home!" his eyes staring into the sky with great justice... Then he looked back over to Aaron. "You've seen the Coburn Report haven't you? Did you know Coburn's my uncle? I mean it, really! He's a conservative too! All conservatives are alike! Is that what you meant?" the huskie stopped just for a moment, gasped... then started speaking again, "I look like one too right? That's because I am. Are you a conservative? What am I saying, of course you are! After all, you're wearing glasses! Smart people wear glasses. Smart people are conservative. Do you think I should get glasses? What about sunglasses? Do those work too? Which is smarter? What's the difference anyway? Where can I get them? What's this I hear about scratch resistant? Is that some sort of force field that protects you from scratches? Can they really shoot lasers that set stuff on fire? Because that'd be really cool! Uncle Coburn wears glasses, he's really smart, he even said so on TV! " and he went on and on and on... ((((* See Coburn Report: segasthrpg.proboards83.com/index.cgi?board=rplog&action=display&thread=1161327126 ))))

"Um, I don't think conservative means tha-" He's still talking. He continues digging, occasionally trying to sneak in a sentence. "You watch the Coburn Report? He's your uncle? Um, and I guess I consider myself kinda smart, but glasses don't really- um.." he just gives up and keeps digging, eventually setting one of Rail's arms free. "Aha! Now we're making progress."

Rail began to use his now fully released arm to help dig out the rest of himself, eager to get free. He continued with his ranting, having moved on from glasses to something about action figures and the patriotic symbolism they represent in today's overly liberal society. (liberals hate the nation) Rail had managed to get both arms free now and was digging at the dirt encasing the lower half of his body as he spoke. Suddenly, Rail ceased his ranting for a moment. He paused as if in deep thought and then asked, "By the way... where is this place?", his eyes looking at the lemur inquisitively. He was sure that this smart, glasses wearing person who was obviously the leader of these aboriginal native tribal forest country bumpkin savages would be able to help him find where he was and perhaps even the location of his father. Assuming Aaron didn't try to eat him first. (or use his eyes for a magic potion of some sort)

Aaron continued to assist him, all the while listening silently to the rest of his ranting. That is, until he got to the question of where they were. "To be honest, I have absolutely no idea. I was just walking about in a nondescript open field like I always do, and then suddenly I saw all these colors and shapes and birds turning into fish... and here I am, out in the middle of nowhere and tripping over a dog's buried head."

Rail finally finished freeing himself from the earth and lept to his feet. He turned to Aaron, a look of paranoia and shock on his face. He reaches out and grabs Aaron by the shoulders, then starts shaking the poor lemur violently. "You're not from here?! THANK GOD! I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM! Listen!" He bwllowed, drawing close. "I met one of the native savages here earlier, they're INSANE!" Rail exclaimed into Aaron's face with a fearful look in his eyes. "Listen! I've been told that the indigenous people here kidnap civilized types, like me and you, then...." he paused, letting his words sink in and the suspense increase, "They EAT THEM! That must've been what happened to you! They drugged you and brought you here so that they could eat you!" the huskie speculated. He was quite sure he was correct, he'd seen something just like it on a TV show! Again, Rail was stunned by the vastness of his own intellect. "You and me man..." Rail began, calming a bit as he stopped shaking Aaron. "We have to stick together! Good god man, these people are INSANE!" he shouted, emphasizing the danger they were in. "We have to plan an escape! And watch our backs!" He declared, his fur raising on end. "If we're not careful" he explained more quietly, his voice dropping to a hushed whisper, "these cannibalistic aboriginal native tribal forest country bumpkin savages will kill us! Kill!" he let the word hang. "Kill" he whispered again, his voice barely audible as he looked directly into Aaron's eyes, as if he were staring into the lemur's very soul. "Killlllll....."

Aaron was already confused and somewhat unnerved... but as Rail's explanation dragged on, he began to look steadily more distressed... then horrified. "Oh.. oh lord..." His eyes widened. " We've gotta get out of here!!" He began searching for any possible escape, running off in the first direction he could find that had fewer huts than normal.

Rail followed after Aaron at full sprint, flailing like a maniac as they approached the outskirts of the village. "We have to hurry! If they notice we're gone they'll come after us!" Rail called out to Aaron (a bit too loudly at that), "Aboriginal native tribal forest country bumpkin savage cannibalistic primitives use really big spears! And blow darts! Don't forget the blow darts!" Rail explained, absolutely positive that there was a mob forming right behind them, carrying spears and blowguns. But he dare not look back, he was having too much fun! "Quick! My dad is probably somewhere around here! We'll be safe if we can find him and the rest of my family! Aboriginal native tribal forest country bumpkin savage cannibalistic primitive village people don't attack big groups!" Rail explained. After all, the after school programs said that staying in groups protects you from strangers. He caught up to Aaron and began pushing him along, trying to make the lemur run even faster. Rail could barely contain his excitement, it was just like he was in some sort of survival horror movie. "This is so awesome!" he muttered very quietly to himself as they ran.

But Aaron was by no means having any fun, and did not think this was awesome at all. What Rail was saying made a little too much sense... could have he been drugged by some aboriginal tribal savage hillbilly blow dart and dragged off? Were they going to bury him in the ground and scoop out his brain for food!? He didn't bother to find out, preferring to run off screaming wildly with Rail trailing behind him. "Ohgod we're all gonna diiiiie!!"

As Bunnie lead the group behind her in the direction of Rotor's hut, she smiled at the kit's interest when he had jogged after her with questions about the Freedom Stormer. In spite of the fact she knew this might not have been her world's Tails, that didn't stop her from giving him a gentle tug on his cheek "Well honeypie, Ah can't say Ah know much about the mechanics of it, but Ah can tell ya'll that Rotor, me'n Sally all built it from scratch."

From the other side of the cyborg, Mina walked with her. she giggled at Tails' predicament. Seeing as they were heading to a hut that had a bunch of...junk on the roof, Mina could only guess that Rotor lived there. Too excited to know how this Rotor is like, she quickly rushed to the door and knocked. "Hello? Anyone in there?" thinking that maybe this Rotor is the same, "Um...Digi-Digous!" she spoke a password she had to say in order to enter her Rotor's workshop. He was suppose to respond; 'Pro-Pro'.

Tails rubbed his cheek, partly from where the rabbot had grabbed it, and partly because his cheeks were flaring up with a bit of embarassment. He glared at Mina from the other side of Bunnie, but then as she went to where Rotor was suppossed to be and began speaking secret words, it was his turn to chuckle. If the Sonic and Nack here were any clue, the counterparts here were pretty different from those in the Chaos dimension.

"You mean your Sally," Sally muttered to herself. She was hiding it well, but all this was really freaking her out. "Well, as long as it flies, it'll do." She said aloud, tucking this world's Nicole into one of her coat pockets.

SCREAMING LEMUR. That is, a lemur immediately ran up to them, screaming in terror. He stopped when he came across the new strangers, panting heavily. "What are you guys doing?! We've got to get out of here! SAVAGES!" He bent over, gasping for breath with his hands on his knees. He looked up at Sally afterward, blinking a little and adjusting his glasses. "...Do I know you?"

Little did Tails knew that certain situations allowed Mina to start getting control of her snake-mode...but not that much. So far, her hearing is as good as the unevolved mongoose. Marching up to the fox, she gave him a playful glare. "You think something's funny, foxy? Hmm?" and that's when the strange lemur came and creeped her a little with his spazims. Mina then looked at Bunnie. "Um...does he live here?"

Tails stared at the flailing Lemur, ignoring Mina's mock-glare. Savages? Then he looked to Bunny. "Are there really savages around here? And I don't think that your version of Rotor is here... or else he's taking an annoyingly long time to answer the door." he said. He looked quite like his hero as he put his weight on one leg, hands on his hips. Just paint him blue and spike his fur backwards and you've got Sonic screaming bloody murder about too many hedgehogs.

The hedgehog stood there, awaiting, like everyone else, an answer from this Rotor fellow. Sonic would continually check glances to the sky, to further examine the island from his world floating in this new world's airspace... Something about all of this was just confusing. Of course, once they got their flying device, the obvious next stop would be that particular Sky Island... But first, they had to get their flying device. Unfortunately for everyone, the wait wasn't going to be a very easy one, as they all found themselves meeting with a poor fellow who seemed to have gone totally insane. Sonic eyed him as he yelled this and that about savages and the like, before shaking his own head, and taking a step towards him, tweaking a finger in his blue ear as he spoke. "Yeah, uh... savages? I think you're just letting your imagination get the best of you, here... I was in this area earlier, and I didn't see anything savage. If anything..." A faint image of this world's Amy appeared within his mind... "... I was met with the total opposited." He coughed, and gave the lemur a thumbs up, and that all-too familiar Sonic Grin. Of course, whether this really had any kind of affect with him or not was to be seen. After all, he might not have even been from his world. For all Sonic knew, the lemur was just a local crazy. "Don't worry! Things are in order here. No savages, bub. You can take my word on that. ... Or..." He jabbed a finger towards Bunnie. "... You could ask her. Seeing as how she's a resident of this world, and all."

Rail EXPLODED from the woods, "TTTTEEERRRRIIIIYYAAAAAHHHHHH" He cried out as he burst through a bush, soaring through the air. He charged out, nothing stood in his way. Nothing. Nothing that is, except for a screaming Lemur. A Lemur he was headed straight for at break neck speeds...

Sally's hand dropped to her gun for a split second before she realized that while startling, the newcommer wasn't a threat. "This isn't Rotor...is it?" she asked Bunnie hopefully.

Bunnie herself looked quite surprised, recoiling slightly. She closed her eyes and waited a moment for things to settle, going quiet as she seemed to go lost in thought, trying to settle her confusion. After a moment she opened them, looking at Sally and then at Aaron. She frowned and shook her head "Ah admit we're low-tech 'round here, but there ain't no savages hon. Now, uh, iffin ya'll would pardon me a moment..." She sighed, running a hand back over her ears as she stepped up to the door of Rotor's shop "Hey Rotah, are ya'll in there or what?" she called out, knocking on the door. Without waiting for a response she twisted the knob and invited herself inside. The workshop beyond was a far from tidy space; boxes, various pieces of scrap metal sat in piles littered around, and overall the room had a soft hum from a set of computers in the back. A moment's glance confirmed the resident's vacancy to the rabbit, and she thinned her lips as she stepped inside and glanced around, in some vague hope that she might have spotted the walrus in some nook or cranny. Frowning, she stepped back out and looked at the group behind her "Well folks, 'fraid Rotah ain't here..." she twisted her mouth to one side "An without him ya'll're pretty well stuck. Ah ain't got no idear how that plane flies."

Mina followed the cyborg, wondering just how similiar this Rotor is to hers. Looking at this messy lab, Mina arched a brow, muttering, " You know, my Rotor likes to keep himself organized. Although, this looks like my room." Then she smiled from behind Bunnie who stepped out of the lab, "Well that is why we have Tails here. He can probably fly a...um, a space shuttle if he wanted to."

Tails rubbed his nose at Mina's comment, about to say that he could probably figure out how to pilot their aircraft. "If your technology is like our own, I can probably figure out how to fly it no prob." He said. He looked to Mina, "Yeah, and I can build a space shuttle too. Just ask Sonic." Tails then paused, thinking about something. Where on earth did that particular rocket disappear to? Oh well. It wasn't really that well built now that he thought about it. "So where is your airplane, now that we can't find Rotor?" Tails asked.

If asked, Bunnie would have readily admitted she wasn't cozy with that idea. However, given the situation it seemed that everyone she knew who was a fellow Freedom Fighter was missing, which left her solely in charge. She bit her lip for a moment, then nodded. "Alright then. I'll take ya'll to it," she said, motioning for everyone to follow as she wandered off the beaten trail.

Sonic was about to take a step forward when he had suddenly remembered something. Unfortunately, this something had slipped his mind during the whole 'Holy Crap, I'm fighting another one of me' fiasco that occurred in the forest earlier. And even more unfortunate was the importance of said 'something'. Blaze. Sonic felt like smacking himself in the face. He had completely forgotten that he had set out to find help for Blaze. How the hell could he forget something important like that?! She was seriously hurt when he saw her. And now... Frig. He turned to all of his companions, and held up his hand. "Woah, wait a minute..! I just remembered something... The reason I came out to the forest earlier.. I went to find help! A friend of mine, she's... -extremely- hurt. I need someone to follow me, quickly, to where I last saw her. We need to get her medical help fast." He turned to head in that particular direction, glancing behind him for a moment. "We can tend to the situation of the floating island in a little bit." And then, off he went at a trot. ... Well, as much of a trot as the hedgehog -could- go. Wherever they followed Sonic, they would find Blaze. However, whatever her -current- condition was, even Sonic didn't know. Crap... Sorry about this, Blaze. That was pretty -stupid- of me..
