Crisis of Multiple Earths

Tailsko, any ideas...?

Uh...I don't think so.

Damn! Better stick to the story then... He told the last part to Zuki.

And you're leaving it to me...

I'm kinda out of options...

Sonic had since worked his way back to his position on Corey's head, mildly annoying the Saiyan stuck in a deer's body.

"I thought Bambi told you why...I was captured remember...?" Zuki said trying to sound as if he wasn't lying.

"oh and before i forget... what did you mean by 'You lost the game' ?" Faline asked heavily confused.

Damn! Corey thought, but chose not to let his thoughts be betrayed by facial expressions.

"Exactly what I said."

"But there wasn't even a game!"

The silver fawn watched from afar, almost pleased at the commotion he had caused. He silently vowed that he would eventually fulfill his mission, no matter how long it took.

"Hmm..." The Great Prince thought "Tell me...Why is it that you won't tell the truth about your color...?"
-----------------------------------------------
try using telepathy to stop them from asking their questions... Tailsko thought out to Zuki

How do we know if that will work?

How do you think I got in the theater?

With that, Zuki started concentrating, and with a little bit of effort, the memory was wiped back to just before Sonic showed up and talked about the mysterious silver fawn.

"So...What did you mean by 'You lost the game'?" Faline asked again, unknowing of her mind being wiped.

"Oh nothing...just something to confuse Ronno...Didn't work like i hopped though" Corey said quickly saving himself.
--------------------------------------------------

Zuki and Sonic mentally breathed a sigh of relief, unknowing of what had truly happened. With that mess done, Corey, Zuki and Sonic quickly bid their "goodbyes for now" and left back the way they came.

Corey, you have no idea what you've done...

What do you mean, Tailsko?

Zuki, and Sonic went into a small cave. Corey was still talking to Tailsko telepathically.
"What do you think they're talking about" Zuki whispered to Sonic "I don't know, but whatever it is, it must be serious.
-------------------------------------

You've messed with the natural order of things there...By putting yourself in front of Ronno like you did, you changed the course of history... Tailsko began. Bambi was supposed to make a jump that would have impressed his father, but instead, he stopped because he was worried about you...This would have lead him to be courageous, and mature...

Wait...you're telling me that now he may be nothing more than Ronno's punching bag, maybe even replaced as the young Prince?

Most likely, in the worst-case scenario...

Then I know what I must do...even if it comes at a steep cost, I will teach Bambi about what courage is really all about...

With that, the telepathic communication ended.

"Zuki, Sonic, you're watching...Listen up. We've altered history..." Corey began.

After explaining and repeating what Tailsko said, The heroes made a plan...
---------------------------
"Tomorrow we'll visit Bambi..." Zuki said.

"...and let the lessons start."

"Problem." Sonic said. "Where does he live...?"

"Oh, right...The Great Prince definitely won't let him leave the den now..." Corey said.

guess we'll just have to look around..." Zuki suggested.

Then, all of a sudden, in almost perfect harmony, the animal's stomach's growled...

"Oh boy....we have yet another problem..." Corey mumbled. "We all must be hungry...and..."

"...well, I think real hedgehogs eat insects..."

"...Yeah, and deer eat grass..."

"...and in some cases, tree bark..."

So, after a few minutes of complaining and bickering, the trio ultimately decided to just act as normal as they could.

"Gack...that was the nastiest thing i've ever tasted..."Zuki said but his stomach was satisfied nonetheless.

"I really wish we had Chili Dogs..." Sonic complained.

"And I really wish we had something other than vegetables and bugs, but I'm not even close to complaining." Corey said, his stomach satisfied. He turned to survey the scene behind them. "Well, at least we didn't eat a sizable portion of the forest.... It's a good thing we didn't retain our appetites."

Sonic crammed a small bug into his mouth, and complained a bit. But with urging from Corey, he managed to down it. Then he was satisfied.

"Hakuna freakin' Matata," said Corey. Meanwhile, in another universe, a meerkat and warthog sneezed violently. Oh, and an adolescent lion as well.

"What the F*** is that?!" Zuki asked confused.
"I don't know...French?" Corey responded.
----------------------------------------------

"I just heard it somewhere. Can't remember for the life of me, though. I think it was from something I watched with Tailsko." Corey said.

"I see..." Zuki said. "Well, anyway, it's almost time to fix what we've broken..."

Few moments pass and the heroes are still wondering around to find Bambi's house.

"Ugh, this is getting us nowhere...I have an idea..." Corey successfully contacted Tailsko from the theater.

Tailsko, can you or anyone with us tell us where Bambi's house, den, whatever it is, is at?

Hmmm....
-------
"Tailsko, what is it?" Edd asked.

"Corey wants to know where Bambi's den is located..." Tailsko said.

Luckily the Screen shifted to to Bambi's Den where him and his father were talking.
--------------------------------------
"Hey look.."Tailsko was surprised. "How convenient.

Tailsko then planted a mental image of the den and the surrounding areas into Corey and Zuki's minds.
---
"Thanks again..." Corey said, and he and Zuki began to make their way towards the area. Sonic followed, "hey, wait up!"
----
Bambi and his father were talking.

"...you have to listen, look, smell...feel the forest, Bambi..."

"I can do that..."

"OK, just stay here and guard the den, this time. I'll go out and perform my rounds..." the Great Prince said.
-----

After few minutes the three animal heroes reached Bambi's Den
-------------------------
"Hey look there he is!" Corey said."Yeah, i see him.." Zuki replied, they were just a few feet away from Bambi's Den.
-------------------------
Somewhere else in the forest
The dark figure was yet again watching Faline

While Thumper and Flower were talking about Flower's fear of turtles, and how if Flower made his "brave face", it would have scared anyone away, Bambi was walking around his den, mumbling something. His eyes were closed. And as Corey drew closer, he realized something else: the young Prince wasn't paying any attention to where he was going.

"Feel the forest...feel the forest..." the words were clear now, but he was about to really feel it if no one said something.

"Watch out, Bambi!" Corey said...

It was too late and Bambi hit a tree.
-----------------------
"Ugh..i felt it..." bambi said as he looked at Corey and Zuki.

"I felt it about six times in recent days..." Corey remarked. "The ground, a tree, another tree, a hill, a porcupine..."

"Uh, Corey, that's five..." Sonic said.

"I thought I felt it six...oh well."
