Chapter 1
The Cave of Wonders
A man in a turban and simple cloak was selling merchandise. Business was slow. He had travelled around Mobius and no one seemed interested in his merchandise. He sighed. 'Well, might as well pack up.' he thought. He was about to press a button, when three figures came toward him. The man turned his head to see three birds carrying hover boards. "May I help you?" The green one spoke first.
"Yeah. You got anything... rare?" The man smiled.
"Ah. I have just what you need." The man reached into a pocket and pulled out two golden pieces.
"Pfft. You call 'that' rare?"
"This is were you are mistaken. These gold pieces lead to," the man looked down the street, both left and right, " the Cave of Wonders." Suddenly the sound of lighting cracked the sky. The green one raised an eyebrow.
"Cave of Wonders?"
"Yes. The Cave of Wonder has treasure beyond your wildest imaginations. Mountains and rivers of gold and gems. However, there is one warning. Only one may enter the Cave of Wonders. A 'Diamond in the Rough'."
"No warning has ever stopped the Babylon Rouges from getting treasure." He started to walk away, but stopped short when he heard a 'ahem'. "What?"
"I believe you have to pay me first," the said. The green one scoffed and handed him a brown sack.
"Fine. Whatever. C'mon guys," and walked away.
Sonic had just finished a chili dog as his best friend, Tails came up to him.
"Hey, Tails! What's up?"
"I just finished a new invention! Wanna see it?" the fox asked eagerly.
"Sure! What's it do?"
"It make chili dogs instantly!" This was something Sonic was interested in. "You just pour water in the funnel at the top and press a red button on the side, and voila! A chili dog appearers!
"Sweet! Can't wait to try it!" and with that the blue blur zoomed of.
"We've been circled around this desert for ages. That guy made a complete scam of us!" Wave yelled at Jet. Jet usually ignored her. How did these two pieces lead to some cave? And where the heck was that cave?! Jet felt a tap on his shoulder.
"What is it, Storm?"
"I was just wondering, maybe we should attach the pieces," Storm said.
"That's... a good idea," Jet said.
"Really?!"
"Don't get too excited."
"Aww."
"Well, here goes nothing," and he put the pieces together. Suddenly the gold pieces came to life and moved south.
"Quickly! Follow that gold!" And the Rouges dashed off following the gold pieces. Suddenly they split and landed in a dune of sand. The dune started to shake and the head of a tiger formed. "Whoa."
"Who disturbs my slumber?" the tiger said.
"We are the Babylon Rouges and we have come for the treasure," Jet stated. The tiger raised and eyebrow.
"Know this. Only one may enter. A Diamond in the Rough," the tiger stated. The Rouges looked at each other.
"Who is this 'Diamond in the Rough?" The tiger remained silent. "Can we have a hint?"
"Find the Cyan Chaos Emerald and the Diamond in the Rough will be revealed," the tiger stated. Suddenly the tiger gave a great roar and sank into a small dune. The two gold pieces came tumbling back to the Rouges. They all stood in silence.
"Where exactly would the Cyan Chaos Emerald be?" Wave asked Jet. He stood in silence.
"I know where it would be," Jet said. "C'mon. We're going to Station Square."
