I'm jolted awake by a ever rising whistling coming from the outside. My breath hitching, I start to brace myself when I spot the ground hurtling towards me. Still groggy, I obviously hadn't prepared myself properly, for when the pod crashed into the dirt, I momentarily blacked out, again; probably from shock.
   Finally regaining my vision, I find that my world is flipped upside down. Am ominous crimson pool greets me as I look around from my pod. The sky. Shouldn't it be blue? I unbuckle my seatbelt, grabbing onto a handlebar to avoid falling off and cracking my head open.
   After several failed attempts at unlocking the door manually, I growl in annoyance as I prepare to kick open the windscreen. I back up to put the little running room I had to use, and soon the window was shattered into shards of crystal.
   Stepping from the crack in the widescreen, I finally get a glimpse of my surroundings right side up. The sky was clogged with the color of blood; ruins of countless buildings litter the ground. Confused, I try to make sense of it, digging through my research on the planet.
   After all the time I took studying Mobius, never once did it mention this mess. I huff, and decide to find shelter. I could get my thoughts straight, and then head off to find Stella.
   I pick my way through the destruction, coming across the occasional fire. After a good few minutes, I dive behind a partially destroyed car, as I hear footsteps from up ahead. I quieted my breath as a mobian stomps by, flanked by two others. They are white hedgehogs, two males and one female.
The lead holds a remote in his hand, a eerie black glow clinging to a white surface. His poncho flows in the breeze as he passes by. As they pass the car, I let out my breath in a gush, and slowly creep around to the other side.
Suddenly, my eyes widen when... Clank! My shoe slams into a broken glass bottle, sending it rolling across the path. Immediately, my head snaps to face the three hedgehogs.
And, of course, they were staring right back at me, weapons in hand.
"Hey! You!"
I unsheathed my sword, staring at the three, beckoning them. Then I floor it.
I sprint away, gasping for air. I hear their footsteps, echoing against the debris of fallen buildings. The chase goes on for a few minutes. I throw obstacles in their way, but they seem to dodge every single one with incredible agility.
Eventually, I feel one start to gain on me. I turn, trying with all my might to get her off my trail. In the end, my rage takes over. I slid to a stop, and as she is about to run into me, I lash out with my sword, and she drops down to the ground.

After a while, I found a place to camp out. I had taken the mobian to a well shielded alley. I hadn't killed her, but she would be out for a long time.
I make sure she is hidden and she is tied well to the chair I had found down the road. Then I head out, starting my search for Stella. She should be nearby.
As I pass a building that I had passed, I hear a scream. A flash of purple light blinds me, and soon I'm on the ground.

Great. Another problem I have to face.

   Hiya! Today's chapter is not my best, and I'm sorry! I started off well, but I haven't had as much time lately to write, and had to cut it off as well. But, alas, get ready, for new characters are about to be introduced! This story was originally a crossover with imaheckingbinch , so her characters are the going to be in the spotlight, and will play a huge part of this story! I hope you enjoyed, and see you in the next chapter💫
