"Alright guys. We should be arriving at Ethos within the hour!" Despite Vultro's giddiness, | Raven the Wolf would spend most of her teenage days studying the nature of the Sol dimension. After all, she wanted nothing more than to be a famed Sol Guardian, like her idol Blaze. To get to protect and wield the Sol Emeralds is something she dreamed about since she was a kid. But, every once in a while, it was nice to pop over and explore the rolling slopes of Green Hill. After all, her best friend Vultro lived there, and there was no way that she was going to go more than a few days without checking in on him. | ||
Though she liked to act tough and pretend that all that emotional stuff didn't matter, deep down she deeply valued the friendship she had with Vultro. She might not express it, but having friends was what made those long days of study and sleepless nights worth it. Vultro seemed unusually excited today as she strolled into his cave. "Hey, Vultro. What's up?" she said cooly. "Well... I have an idea. A really cool idea." ''Not this again.'' "What is it, dude?" "I want to go to space." She scoffed. "Space? Like, outer space?" Vultro nodded. "Yeah! I want to go to space and I want to build my own spaceship." Raven knew she could only nod and agree to the idea. "Yeah... you should. Could be cool." Deep down she doubted if a twelve-year-old could build even half a spaceship, let alone a working one. But she would never shoot down something Vultro was clearly excited about. | |||
"I'm gonna go to Techtown, I'm gonna find an engineer, and I'm going to do it." "That's great. I can come if you want." Vultro smiled. "Yeah!" Raven returned the smile, something she was trying to be better about doing. | |||
That moment was four years ago. She could not believe that she is now sitting on the very ship Vultro dreamed of making, as it headed towards their destination of Ethos. | |||
"Alright guys. We should be arriving at Ethos within the hour!" Vultro said. Wreck the Fox groans to himself. Despite Vultro's giddiness, the voice sounds more annoying than cheerful to his ears. "Frankie," he mumbles as he turns to his partner, "For the millionth time, why are you're taking me to this random planet." Frankie chuckles. "I told you, it's a surprise! Don't you worry." Wreck rolls his eyes and leans back in his chair. | |||
Cyncatia is standing next to Vultro at the helm, looking out the front window of the ship. Her ears twitch as she stares out into the vast emptiness. Only now do Vultro's words register with her. "Vultro, didn't you just say we're almost there? Where's Ethos?" Vultro looks down at the dashboard, only to look up again in confusion at the empty space. He thumps on one of the radar displays. "What the..." | Cyncatia is standing next to Vultro at the helm, looking out the front window of the ship. Her ears twitch as she stares out into the vast emptiness.

"What's going on?" Cyncatia asks. Vultro points to the radar scanner. "The ship is saying Ethos is right in front of us... but it's not. I looked away for two seconds, now it's gone." Cyncatia stares at the radar for a moment. "How strange," she says. She notices a bright flash out of the corner of her eye, and looks back out the window. As if out of nowhere, the horizon is now completely filled by a strange-looking, unfamiliar planet. "Vultro!" she yells as a fireball begins to form around the ship. | "What's going on?"

Raven | Raven perks up and jumps out of her chair. "Vultro, how did you miss that giant planet? It's a ''planet''!" Vultro is looking around frantically at his instruments. "It's not on the radar Raven, it wasn't even there a minute ago!" Raven frowns. | ||
She fiddles around in her bag and looks up with concern. "I have the Sol emeralds," she admits. "Tell me right now. Are we going to crash?" Vultro continues to fiddle with the landing controls, trying to prepare the ship for a proper landing. "Vultro!" she barks. "Are we going to crash!?" "Yes! Yes!" he finally snaps back. "I can't get the landing sequence to activate!" he yells. "Everyone, brace for impact!" | |||
