       Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
       By: Caroline Bishop Date: July 20, 2017, 9:57 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Blaze would be first addressed, as he acted first. Her eyes,
       although misted over by the galaxy clouds, looked directly at
       the hedgewolf, as he stepped forward, arms crossed. Her mouth
       would twist lightly as he spoke, bringing up Karahl, her lost
       kids and Jabari, as well as Sapphire. She would shake her head.
       How has Sapphire tried to help her? No. She should've been there
       to help their mother. She got in the way and did nothing in the
       ways of helping... She wouldn't move as she got pointed at. A
       light smile came to her face as he called her the fool though.
       "[shadow=crimson,right]You're a fool for letting yourself be so
       easily caught my boy, and for making your friends follow suit
       behind you.[/shadow]" She would tilt her head down a little when
       he said that she would have to take the emeralds,
       "[shadow=crimson,right]I thought you might say that[/shadow]"
       She would then look away from the fire mobian, looking instead
       to his brother, Ty. He asked a rather upfront question. Then
       what? The she would be happy.. Right? She would have her mother
       back and things would change for the better. But would they? But
       Ty didnt stop there, he said it wasn't too late.
       "[shadow=crimson,right]What other way...[/shadow]" She would
       question quietly, her clouded eyes becoming just a touch less
       clouded...
       Then Maria spoke up, when the medic brought up the state of the
       world, Caroline would look up, looking to the walls of the
       garden, as she looked around, screens acted like windows to show
       the outside world. She did go outside, but it never really
       clicked with her as to just how bad the state of it all was. She
       looked at the screens, the wasteland that awaited outside the
       fortress and across the entire planet they where currently on.
       "There is nothing but a wasteland and fear awaiting her if this
       goes through."
       Caroline would let out a light breath, leaning back lightly on
       the capsule for support. There wasn't... just a wasteland and
       fear there was also.. Her! And....
       Her head would turn to Soul as he claimed that she had potential
       to do great things, but.. Why wasn't bringing her mother back
       considered as one? She would look down at the capsule, her ears
       pinning back as she rubbed a hand to clear some of the ice and
       frost away so she could see her deceased mother's face... Val's
       evil side coming out a bit caught her by surprise, she looked
       back up upon being complimented in such a fashion, Val would
       switch back though and ask a pretty important question.
       "[shadow=crimson,right]O-of
       course...[/shadow][shadow=crimson,right]I did what I had to, to
       try and.. To try and get her back...[/shadow]" She still gave
       off a powerful energy and feel, but her voice was breaking and
       becoming softer, less angry and more... Sad
       Then Karahl would approach her.
       The cat would stare up at the tiger, with a look of fright on
       her face, but not because Karahl might be scary, rather because,
       she was scared of what the tigress might think of her now. After
       all the things she had done and all the things that the others
       where pointing out. In the pause, Caroline would hold her
       breath, her crimson eyes locking onto Karahl's cyan one's.
       "It's not fair isn't it?"
       The smell of a neglected wet cardboard box, the scared, lonely
       mews of a young girl who didn't understand why her family didn't
       want her. The fear, the wondering of, 'What's going to happen
       next?', 'Why did this happen?', 'How am I going to eat', 'Is
       there anybody out there, who loves me for me' Her powers... They
       where a curse to her, they where a hard to control force that
       filled up without her consent. How long until she had too much
       to chew? She would never forget her mother, the fancy white cat
       lady who abandoned her, yelling at her even at her earliest of
       ages, over something she had always struggled to control on her
       own. As she recalled these memories, they would display up on
       the screens that had acted as windows earlier... So the group
       would get to see a little Caroline, who could barley walk on her
       own, being punished over the power she was still fighting to
       control.
       "Do you know why I named you Caroline?"
       Caroline would snap her attention back, looking at the tiger,
       the scenes around the room would change, instead showing
       pleasant memories of Caroline with Kara. Some even would be able
       to spot themselves in the memories. Ty, Blaze, Maria, Ashura,
       all appeared at least once. Caroline knew the answer to Karahl's
       question. She remembered every word of what her mother had told
       her.
       "Because it means strong. It means strong and free woman. And
       that's exactly what I saw in you the night I found you"
       [center]"Right now, you are strong and beautiful... but you are
       not free are you?"[/center]
       Caroline would look aside in thought. Was she free? Truly free?
       She ran the entire planet, she could do as she wished yet, she
       couldnt do as she needed. No, she was not free.
       Sapphire would catch Karahl's look and would shoot her a
       reassuring smile and a thumb's up to let her know she trusted
       the tigress.
       The cat would close her eyes and would breathe when Karahl said
       to. Hanging off of her every word. It made her wonder though.
       Her biological mother made her feel betrayed and confused. Was
       she supposed to still deem her as important? Or was she no
       longer family?
       Caroline would open her eyes again, as Karahl asked for Sapphire
       to be let go. The shiny, powerful gems in Crystal's hands caught
       her attention and for a second, she would reach out to them,
       wanting for them. But....
       "Sister"
       Caroline would look to the hedgehog still trapped in the tree.
       "I'm sorry for not being there when I should've. At the time, I
       was confronting the dog boy who betrayed you. Your mother- OUR
       mother, told me to look after you while she went out. I'm sorry
       I never got to do that."
       Caroline would close her eyes and breathe again as Sonic spoke,
       his words piercing at her, but she hung onto Karahl and
       Sapphire's words more. Looking to the blue hedgehog after, she
       would let out a breath. "[shadow=crimson,right]Your hatred
       towards me seems to always stay present with you
       father...[/shadow]" She sounded disappointed, like she wanted
       his approval also, but was used to never getting it.
       Then Ashura added to it, she would hang her head lightly, he was
       right, the Caroline her mum knew wouldnt want this.
       She had let her mother down.
       The cat would shake lightly, keeping her head hung down, tears
       came to her eyes, something she.. Hadn't experienced in a long
       time. Ashura's Future self would lock his eyes onto the stone
       Ashura held up. He of course knew it. He knew it all too well...
       Caroline's ears would rise and she would bring her head back up
       at the sound of Mark's voice, he had followed, just for her..
       She would look at the suited cat, he gave off this..
       Indescribable nice feeling, that she just couldn't explain. Like
       with Karahl, she would hang off every word, when he called her
       beautiful, she would look aside a little shyly, but the
       slightest of smiles came to her face.
       "Your mother is here, beautiful Caroline. Almost right in front
       of you. And she and her friends now know of her death, so they
       can act to stop it from happening when the time comes."
       Caroline would look at Karahl, this was true, she was still
       alive, still well. Maybe... there was another way...
       Her attention went back to Mark as he took her hands, cause her
       to lock eyes with him, her eyes where now free of the galaxy
       clouds, and sparkled with thought and new opportunity. She would
       reach out and would place a hand to Mark's heart, closing her
       eyes, Mark would be able to feel a warm, welcoming feeling for a
       few seconds before she opened her eyes and smiled. "Love is
       certainly in your heart. I can feel it. Though, I don't need to,
       to know your heart and intentions are true." She paused, taking
       hold of Mark's hands again and intertwining her fingers with
       his, "I want to get to know you more then I do now, Mark~ I want
       your kind heart in my life. You're right, they're right. I don't
       need the emeralds to bring her back to be happy.

       She wasn't expecting this type of reaction from the others, she
       wasn't expecting to be asked to look for an alternative way to
       happiness, she was expecting some sort of fight, pain, suffering
       more then she had. But that had not happened. Instead she
       gained... Possible new friends, a new love interest, and, her
       family back.
       Looking back to Mark, she would smile a smile that she hadnt
       smiled in ages, a warm smile that showed she felt wanted,
       included and loved. "R-Really?" She would ask, a new chance, a
       new path that included Mark, and her mother and all who brought
       joy, it was... It was what she really needed.
       She would look at Mark after the offer was given, then she would
       look to Karahl with a hopeful look, hope, that was not something
       she had, had for quite some time. "I...  would love that, Mark,
       and I would love to meet them, will you be with me? First
       though, I need to fix what I have broken" She would press her
       forehead against his lightly, knowing he would understand and
       that she'd be right back.
       With a possible new road to take that held promising adventures
       ahead, Caroline would turn back to the rest, pointing a finger
       at the tree she would then flick her finger, and the glass of
       the tree slid upwards to let Sapphire out. The hedgehog, without
       hesitation, ran over and hugged her sister, Caroline would put
       her arms around her, lifting her off of her feet as she hugged
       her back, both looked as though they dearly missed the others
       embrace.
       "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry too"
       Caroline would look to the others, look past Sapphire's shoulder
       and hair. "I want to fix all the wrong doings I did. What I have
       done... it was wrong. You all deserve to have a future to look
       forward to. That, I want to make sure of...." She would pause,
       looking aside.
       [center]"If.. if you'll give me that chance, even after all the
       pain I have caused.."[/center]

       By: Maria Hawkins Date: July 20, 2017, 3:26 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Maria was frankly stunned as she saw how it all panned out. No
       fight, no physical struggle... they had managed to talk HER out
       of it without even firing a single bullet or throwing a single
       punch.
       It was incredible and she loved it to be honest, no more
       bloodshed. It would seem enough had been spread already and
       Caroline seemed to start feeling regret for all her actions...
       as any sane person should.
       Seeing the two sisters hug again brought tears to the doe's
       eyes, while she had only seen them through the now late Karahl's
       eyes, it was good to see them hug again after so much had
       happened.
       "It's good to see that you want to set things right, lady
       Caroline," She said, addressing her by her real name as opposed
       to omitting it completely, "I for one, would say i am in favor
       of letting you help us getting things together... granted, we'd
       likely want to accompany you as well."
       As finished speaking however, something nagged her, what about
       those they hadn't seen? Seemed like everything had just wrapped
       up, granted they still needed to fix the time-flow, a daunting
       task no doubt... but there had to be more to this. She hoped
       not, but she could let it go. However, she wouldn't ruin the
       mood, it was a nice change considering everything that had been
       before.

       Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
       By: Blaze the hedgewolf Date: July 20, 2017, 3:34 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Blaze looked at Caroline and shrugged as he put on a smirk
       listening to her. " I'm a fool huh?.....heh i've been called
       worse but i can see that. As far as my friends following me that
       part is just natural when you have those who care for you. " he
       replied as he placed his hands behind his head with that same
       goofy smile. He then looked to the others as they expressed
       their opinions....it made Blaze rethink what he said to which he
       rubbed his head lightly. Watching Sonic eat a emerald was a bit
       much though. " Ummm....that....that was just odd. " Blaze
       replied as he looked at the blue blur.
       It was then Sapphire and Caroline were able to finally become
       sisters again. A happy ending.....so why did Blaze feel a bit
       bothered about something? When Caroline asked for forgiveness,
       Blaze decided to step up and offered a genuine smile and a
       thumbs up. " I managed to make a lot of new friends and allies
       here. If you're serious about fixing things then i'm all up for
       it. " Blaze replied.
       Veira followed a bit behind him before looking to Caroline. She
       gave a small sigh as she looked at the feline. " You know...i
       kind of hated you but after seeing everything...i....may have
       misjudge you a little. " she replied before bowing lightly. " My
       apologies.." she finished.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The tension between the white feline and the group was rising,
       the hedgehog took his stance preparing for the worst if his
       attempt to settle the fight did not end well. It turns out they
       all managed to talk her out and in the end reconnected her with
       Sapphire again, letting out a sigh of relief the hedgehog was
       glad the "fight" was over. It truly was a beautiful sight... the
       power of love for family, that keeps them together no matter how
       broken they are. "Well since you want to fix our futures,
       perhaps we in turn can fix yours as well you deserve a better
       one too, so count me--er--"  he glanced quickly at his future
       counterpart before continuing his reply "--us! in.". It might
       seem that there's a lot to fix but this moment right here is a
       good start for them...

       Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
       By: Karahl Date: July 25, 2017, 2:29 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       After she spoke, she looked to Caroline with empathetic, yet
       loving eyes that a mother would give upon seeing her first-born
       child. That maternal instinct - even though it probably
       shouldn't have surfaced into some time in the future yet for the
       Shinobi - clicked in that moment as she looked to Caroline.
       Briefly noting her memories which had appeared on the windows;
       but they meant little to her for Caroline right here and now was
       vastly more important. Karahl may have seen Caroline's memories
       of her and she may not know exactly how she died, but it felt
       like that too didn't matter. The tall tiger cast Caroline a warm
       smile before looking to the side briefly to allow for Caroline
       and Mark to share a somewhat private moment together.
       Karahl waited patiently until she watched Caroline made her way
       over to the tree not only to free Sapphire, but to hug her as
       well. The Snow-Claw too took long strides over to the girls and
       hugged them both as well, "I am so proud of you Caroline, for
       being so mature about this." she cooed before pausing to allow
       for herself to think over her thoughts. Her tone then started to
       have a hint of concern, "Of course we'll give you that chance...
       but what will it involve?"

       Sharp eyes blinked, he didnt expect this turn of events nor is
       he used to his style reasoning actually work in thier favor, he
       fully expected a battle for survival, fighting for ideals, he is
       glad it didnt happen this time. Eyes later softened watching a
       mother and her children embrace into a family hug, this moment
       loosened his hardened expression, curled lips compressed into a
       smile. Caroline expressed a desire to atone for her actions
       offering to fix her mistakes, icing on the cake wouldnt you say?
       "Go for it"he nodded crossing his arms in approval.
       Shadow's reactions and expressions are just about the same, the
       gruff hedgehog folded his arms, sprouting a warm smile in
       response to this touching senario. "Hmph" he closed his eyes.

       Val observed the scene and smiled. Her heart filled with joy,
       sadness and torn with Beastly's feelings whom was rather
       disgusted. The she wolf cried watching it while her dark
       coubterpart took the parole."Tear jerking little moment and you
       fall for it...I can't believe you do...stupid witch." She said
       with sarcasm and spite, targeting her other self. 'The most
       powerful being...vanquished by tender feelings ....I am
       disappointed... Next thing we'll know we will have a future and
       everyone will live happily ever after.' She thought grimacing
       showing her glowing red eyes while torturing the witch inside
       who regain control of herself and collapsed on the floor from
       her being in pain and exhaustion. Beastly had drained her just
       enough to send them both unconscious.

       Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
       By: Ashura Date: August 2, 2017, 9:01 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "Aw heck yeah!" Ashura cheered, potentially a bit too loudly,
       but the sincerity in his voice could hardly be blamed. "Now this
       is more like it!" Though very much prepared to fight; having
       extra energy stored within him, Ashura was oh so glad he didn't
       need to. Step one; reach out to those who are perceived as an
       enemy; complete. Awesome, now it was time for a joke! The
       emerald green hedgehog saw Shadow smirking and spoke to the red
       striped Chaos user as he passed by. "Are you suuuure you don't
       need a tissue~? Hehehe, just kidding~"
       Given the more serious aspect to the situation however, Ashura
       figured that any alterations to the past (or his and his new
       allies current present in this case) would happen one of two
       ways. Immediately; thus nullifying any action they were
       currently taking or in a ripple depending on how the group moved
       forward in making things right.
       Either way, now there was a new objective. Fix the mess that had
       been made. Of course, Ashura's stored extra energy could be used
       constructively... If he was given some form of guidance on how
       to control it better. There happened to be two present in this
       area that he would assume were able to help him out. One of them
       was Caroline, but she was busy with family so Ashura would just
       let her have that moment. The other was a lot more obvious;
       himself. His current future self. "Oo, excuse me a second chums~
       I'll be riiiiight back~" With that, Ashura slowly wandered on
       over to his future self.
       "Howdy, me!" He waved as he slowly and gently approached, the
       precious gem still visibly in his hand. "I saw you looking at
       this. You know what it is, don'cha?" Polite as ever, he waited
       for a response before continuing. "You can hold it if you like,
       unless you still have yours with you." Ashura spoke
       reassuringly. "I don't know what happened to put you in such a
       state, but I promise us that whatever pain you are in, whatever
       horrible things you might be feeling; I will beat them. We will
       beat them. Just like dad would have believed we could." Ashura
       held the gem forward in both hands, ready to hand it to his
       future self for now, or simply just hold it for his own sake.
       "To do that, I think I need your advice. You're older than I am.
       More experienced despite some of those experiences being bad...
       Wait, D-don't spoil anything, but, uhm... Do you have any advice
       on how to control my power if it builds up like it has now? Did
       you figure anything out? If you have, where should I start?"

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [I]"Of course i'll be there with you, my beautiful."[/I] Mark
       would say to Caro's question of if Mark would be there with her,
       he knew that he could double check with 'Acura' and 'Koenigsegg'
       once they got out of the AntiFuture, Mark would step back as
       Sapphire rushed over and hugged her sister, give the family some
       space after all, right? he'd be right there if anything became a
       problem after all, and with Karahl also just a few steps away,
       what was the worst that could happen? Speaking of Karahl, while
       Karahl hugged Caro and Sapphire, Mark had his own idea, getting
       behind Caro he would start to rub her shoulders, following her
       if she went anywhere in the room.
       While Mark could deal with most things, Carlos and Sara had
       joined the crew in the garden, and Carlos was standing guard
       watching Sonic while Sara thought of Victoria Sponge Cake, and
       if Robin had been reunited with Fem, and if a fake emerald could
       be made from the remains of Zarkonian flarbuzor, but mainly the
       Victoria Sponge Cake thing. Carlos, remaining seemingly unfazed
       at the hedgehog's somewhat idiotic (but not all nonsenical,
       mostly, but not all...) idea to swallow an emerald, would mime
       out the shape of a square three times, three invisible metal
       walls would appear in front of the hedgehog, this was to ensure
       reaction time against Sonic's speed levels should he make a dash
       for Caroline, perhaps even give Mark or Karahl a chance to get
       in the way if the hedgehog decided to go on the attack, and
       crashing through three walls, surely it would disorientate the
       hedgehog? Thankfully he hadn't been a danger yet. Irritable,
       yes, but not a danger. Maybe he wouldn't be a danger at all
       before they were all out of the gardens and Caroline was off to
       fixing things and to whatever the DCM were planning for her?
       [I](To clarify, the walls are fairly thick, but not wide, and
       they are in front of Sonic, but they're not blocking off any of
       the room except right in front of him, so if anyone should
       happen to walk to right in front of him, they'll hit the walls,
       other than that, they won't.)[/I]
       Once he had established those walls and knew that they would
       stick, he would wander over to Val, who had just had her inner
       battle between herself and passed out, and would pick her up.
       [glow=white,2,300][I]"Je Vais porter sa à la
       sécurité"[/I][/glow] he would say in his only way of spoken
       communication, via the mind. Mark kinda got it as he wasn't an
       expert at French, but 'securite' and him picking her up,
       connected to him that he was taking her somewhere secure. Good!
       Caroline's asking for everyone to give her a chance to fix
       things was next, and he would aim a light kiss at one of her
       cheeks, going back to rubbing her shoulders. Something quickly
       occured to him, everyone was agreeing that she should be given
       the chance! Well that saves [B]one[/B] burden. And although one
       unstable pest hadn't spoken up, Mark [B]kinda[/B] didn't want
       him to, hence why Sara was now watching Sonic, literally staring
       at him too, as Carlos was now handling Val. Once everyone except
       Sonic had stated what they thought of the idea, he would speak
       up. [I]"Carlos. Sara. Come over here."[/I] he would say, the
       squirrel and Armadillo shelled Mole approaching him and Caro.
       [I]"What do you two think?"[/I] he would ask them.
       Sara would look up at Caro, and if Caro looked in her mind, the
       first thing that she would see, is a bag of pickled onion
       crisps, but she had a massive smile on her face. [I]"I think
       she's great! I think she's really sweet! I love your hair. It
       reminds me of Wedding Cake! Wedding Cake is delicious, and full
       of nutrients! If cooked to exactly the right mixture when the
       batter is mixed onto the baking tray-"[/I] she'd stop as Carlos
       nudged her. [I]"Oh."[/I] she'd say, before looking back at Mark.
       [I]"Go on Marko."[/I] Mark couldn't help his smile. [I]"My
       beautiful Caroline, these are two of my teammates, the talkative
       cook is Sara, and the quiet one carrying the wolf, is
       Carlos."[/I] Carlos would bow, but only slightly as he was still
       carrying Val around. [I]"When everything is fixed and you become
       one of us, you'll get to see them, and me, a lot more."[/I] Mark
       would say. Sara letting off several nods in a quick succession,
       while Carlos would slowly nod.
       [I]"So where do we start on fixing everything? Let's all be a
       team and chip in where we can. Agreed, everyone?"[/I]

       Re: [Arc Final] The Gardens of Peace
       By: Caroline Bishop Date: August 7, 2017, 9:28 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Caroline would look to the medical doe and would smile at her
       words, honestly, she wasn't expecting much kindness after the
       things she had done, and especially was not expecting others to
       want to help her in fixing the things she had done wrong. "O-oh!
       Of course, well, if you'd like to, but do not feel as though you
       must do so, as it wasn't you whom did wrong." Maria's older self
       seemed stunned at seeing the rest of her team there by the
       emeralds, she seemed glued to the spot, frozen. Caroline paused
       for a moment, looking at Maria before saying; "I'll show you in
       time, you deserve to know" She of course would be talking in
       response to what was nagging at Maria's mind.
       Next was Blaze, she seemed a bit timid when he stood up, but
       smiled back when he did. Standing back upright, she would
       approach the hedgewolf, looking guilty, "I promise to make sure
       the older you ends up in a life that you deserve" She would say,
       hanging her head down. But she was greatful that he was up for
       the idea of her fixing things.
       She would then look to Veira, "I can understand why you would"
       She would say when Veira admitted to hating her beforehand. The
       feline would bow back to the lighting wielder "My apologies too"
       She would say, before she'd look to the future Veira and their
       daughter, she press a finger to her lip before wandering over
       and placing a hand to each of their foreheads, a green glow
       would come from her hands for a few seconds before disappearing.
       "They should wake up soon, alive and well, finally able to
       return home."
       Soul too was kind, offering to help fix her as well as she
       wanted to help them, Caroline didn't know what to say, she
       wasn't used to all this. "Thank you... You don't have to though,
       you haven't done anything wrong" Ty also agreed and she would
       return his smile before shooting a concerned look at Shadow.
       The feline would then look to Karahl, she felt terrible for the
       things she had done. She thought they where justified at the
       time.. She thought they where the right things to do.. She had
       been wrong and now had left so many mistakes to fix. So much
       pain to heal... Yet still, everyone wanted to give her a chance,
       and Karahl still gave her that look, that look that she had been
       missing for years.. The warm smile of the tiger filled her heart
       with the same warmth, a warmth she had longed for, for a very
       long time.
       Sapphire and Caroline both smiled when hugged together by the
       tigress, Sapphire, being lifted off of her feet, would press her
       forehead against Caroline's, tears streaming down her cheeks as
       she moved her hands to the cat's cheeks, brushing away any tears
       "I missed you so much" "... I missed you too sister"
       She'd then look back to Karahl at her question, "Whatever it
       takes to fix the wrong things I've done, so long as nobody gets
       hurt more in that process, I could perhaps go back and fix where
       I went wrong originally, or simply fix things as they are in the
       here and now." She would pause a moment before adding, "Most is
       fixed by the actions you all now do, knowing what is possible to
       happen but for the things that aren't and either way, I'd still
       like to fix things, to ensure they don't stay unfixed, you're
       all welcome to know of the truth behind what did happen if you
       so request it though too, as you have the right to know" When
       the girls had, had their moment also, Robin would also approach,
       pausing for a moment before Caroline pulled him into a hug, a
       wave of regret rushing over her for all the pain she had put him
       through in the past. "I'm sorry" "It's okay, it'll be alright"
       He looked a bit surprised as she went to untie his bandanna
       though and he would reach back for it, not wanting her to reveal
       the collar, but she would still remove it, making him rub his
       neck uncomfortably, looking aside. Caroline would extend a claw
       and then would insert it into a hole on the collar, after a few
       seconds, there was a beep, and the collar would unclip, allowing
       Robin to be able to take it off now. Which he would, rubbing his
       neck after looking bewildered. "The key was in the claw, I'm..
       sorry I ever put it on you in the first place."
       Caroline saw Valentine's struggle with Beastly though, but
       before she herself could approach it, Carlos would get there and
       pick up the wolf in his arms, the cat would lock eyes with the
       squirrel for a few moments, something told her that she'd get to
       know him a lot more then just this moment. Looking away, she'd
       look down at Val, looking concerned, she would place a hand to
       her forehead, trying to clear the canine's mind of bad things,
       trying to relax her and do similar to what she had done for
       Future Veira and Sakura. "I'll make sure you get that happy
       ending" She promised, although in a soft tone that only Val,
       Carlos and those nearby would be able to hear.
       When Ashura approached his Future self, the older version would
       pause, all the mess of pixels all freezing in place where they
       where before glitching out randomly in surprise and then..
       settling down again. When asked if he knew what the gem was, the
       mess would nod, it might be hard to work out that it was a nod,
       but there was one in there. "He doesn't have his with him... I
       had taken it from him a while back..." Caroline would speak out,
       not baring to look at the two Ashura's as she did.
       The more Ashura spoke, the more the pixels seemed to form..
       Well... Him. They seemed to form a better, more proper image of
       him as he went on, and eventually, there would be a full image
       of himself before him, although, messier, and tired and ..
       cracks and lines ran all along the image, as though it was
       something being held together by nothing but glue. The future
       self would take hold of the gem, if Ashura let him, taking it in
       his hands and fumbling it between his fragile looking fingers,
       the more he held it, the more he looked like a balloon that had
       been re=inflated, almost as though it healed him as he touched
       it. The cracks and glitches in his image would seal over and
       fix, until there was nothing but a taller, messier Ashura in
       front of Ashura. The hedgehog asked good questions though, his
       fixing future self would pause for a moment...
       "[shadow=darkgreen,left]Well, it's always been a work in
       progress, but I got a bit of help from someone who had a similar
       problem as me back when I could[/shadow]" He would motion
       towards Caroline. ""[shadow=darkgreen,left]She taught me the
       importance of keeping calm- I know that can be hard with all
       that built up energy, and sometimes, it's good to let it out,
       but on things it wont do harm to, and when you're ready to let
       it out- Having your own personal little power punchin bag if ya
       will[/shadow]" He would smile, offering the gem back to Ashura
       and closing his hands around his, "[shadow=darkgreen,left]And of
       course, always remembering what Dad told us and what he believed
       we could do. Also keeping all your friends and loved ones in
       mind, remember that they too believe that you can control it as
       well. When I lost that. That was when I lost control, don't ever
       loose what's important to you[/shadow]" He'd take another look
       at the gem, "[shadow=darkgreen,left]Don't ever loose sight of
       who you are[/shadow]" He would add before he'd fumble with his
       hands a bit, unsure of if what he had said was at all useful,
       but hoping some of it was.
       Crystal, still carrying majority of the present time emeralds,
       would blink for a moment, she wasn't sure what was going on, but
       she was glad she wasn't in trouble. She seemed to stumble around
       a little bit though for a moment, and she looked about ready to
       be sick, sitting down, she would set down to emeralds, rolling
       her head a bit before dropping it down and biting her lower lip.
       She wasn't looking too well at all.
       Mark rubbing Caroline's shoulders made her actually blush
       lightly, but she'd smile, as it did relax her. His kiss made her
       almost giggle, the bell on her tail jingly happily. "O-oh,
       you're too cute~".
       Then she'd be approached by Carlos and Sara, skimming the tops
       of their heads was interesting, Sara especially, what she said
       though added to it and made the cat laugh lightly, "Oh, why
       thank you! You're very lovely, your hair reminds me of
       cupcakes!" Caroline would say, fiddling with a strand of hair
       thanks to the wedding cake comment and making a quick glance to
       Mark. Speaking of Mark, she would smile at the next part he
       said, "Well, I'd quite like that, I'd like that quite a lot~"
       She would reply with, and it was true, she'd like to see the
       three of them more. Then came the question of where to start.
       "That's a good question.. Well, I suppose you should be returned
       to your original time right? Along with your emeralds. Then, one
       by one we could do little missions to ensure everyone gets a
       future to look forward to, I can show those who want to see,
       what happened, and that can help you all to avoid things from
       happening in the first place. That's one way to start I
       suppose... Are you all sure on wanting to help? It wasn't any of
       you that caused all this mess, it was me.."
