The year was 2006 and Sonic, Shadow, and Silver had just defeated Solaris together with the help of their friends: Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Blaze, Rouge, Omega and Doctor Eggman.

...But could they really have stopped Solaris on their own? Or was there more that helped put an end to the villain?

To answer this question, we visit our three friends in Team Chaotix that had left the big city, after they all helped Shadow defeat Black Doom and his evil army. It wasn't long ago since the time they helped Sonic, his friends, and Doctor Eggman put an end to Dark Oak and all of his evil Metarex. Their names were: Espio the Chameleon, Charmy the Bee, and Vector the Crocodile.

"...You know guys; I'm pretty tired of all these big, dangerous missions! It's time to focus on our smaller tasks!" Vector shouted loudly (as usual).

"Sounds good." Espio replied.

"Aww...I'm going to miss all the awesome action!" Charmy protested.

"Well not me! My back's beat after all this "action"! And I'm also tired of that annoying, little blue hedgehog; tired I say, Charmy!" Vector yelled.

"Fine, fine!" Charmy answered back sourfully.

"Where are we going now then?" Espio asked.

Vector grinned. "To our next client!"

Espio began analyzing the terrain around him."Wait...I know this place Vector...Oh no; you gotta be kidding me!"

They were outside Vanilla the Rabbit's old house.

"What!? Here!? Not again!" Charmy moaned.

Vector conked them both in the head. "Shut up and be polite guys!"

"Fine..." Espio and Charmy muttered at the same time.

Vector knocked on the door of the house, and sure enough; he was greeted by Vanilla.

As Vector struck another conversation with the rabbit, Espio turned to Charmy.

"Don't tell me that we're going to another one of those boring missions where we have to find Cream again!" Espio whispered.

"It's because he's in love in Vanilla!" Charmy silently responded.

Vector turned red as soon as he heard this. "Shh! Be quiet Charmy and stop whining you guys! We have to accept all the missions we're offered!"

They entered the house as soon as they were invited. There, Vanilla waited for them.

Before she could open her mouth Charmy interrupted her.

"Yeah, yeah...We'll find your missing daughter...Can we just leave now?" Charmy rudely asked.

Vector smacked Charmy with his tail. "I told you to shut up before Charmy!"

Espio shook his head at the whole scene.

Vector turned back to Vanilla with that goofy smile of his.

"Sorry about him Vanilla...I mean, he's still the same age as your daughter." Vector apologized, while he pointed at the knocked-out Charmy.

"It's okay. But please Vector; don't hit him the next time?" Vanilla said.

Vector scratched the back of his head; turning redder than ever with embarrassment."Sorry Vanilla!"

She turned to the three of them. "A strange figure calling himself "M", came here and kidnapped my little Cream and her Chao, Cheese. He told me that I should tell you guys to follow him to Soleanna, or I would never see my little Cream again."

"Hm...Now that sounds like an interesting mission." Espio mumbled.

"Soleanna?...Where is this...'Soleanna'?" Vector asked.

"You have to go there through the ocean on a boat. Then, you have to pass through the city of Spagonia. It won't be really far after that." Vanilla instructed.

"Alright! What're we waiting for guys!?" Charmy yelled.

"The ocean? That's nice...No Sonic...! Time to go and save Cream, and find out who that 'M' guy really is!" Vector shouted.

"Sounds like a plan. Let's go." Espio replied.

The Chaotix team then left Vanilla the Rabbit's house; saying their goodbyes and readying for their journey.

"So, where do we go now?" Charmy asked.

"The harbor!" Vector enthusiastically answered; sending a fist-pump into the air.

"Obviously..." Espio murmured.

"But who's going to take us there?" Charmy asked.

Vector opened his mouth, only to close it after having no answer escape his lips.

"Hm...We have to find some kind of sea captain who can drive us there!" Vector told the little bee.

"And then what Vector?" Charmy questioned.

"Then, we ask the sea captain if he can take us to our main destination!" Vector replied.

"Okay...but do you know where exactly we can find this 'sea captain' of yours Vector?" Espio asked.

Vector made an embarrassed smile. "No I do not!"

Espio did a face-palm.

Eventually, after hours of searching, they came across an old boat where a big captain was.

Vector tapped on the man's shoulder. "Excuse me...Can you take us Spagonia?"

The sea captain turned around. Vector's eyes widened. He pointed a finger at the captain.

"You...! It...It can't be...!"

Meanwhile, the phone rang at Vanilla's home. She picked up the phone.

"Hello!" She greeted.

"Did you told them to go to Soleanna?"

"Yes M...How is my Cream?" Vanilla the Rabbit asked worriedly.

"She is alright...But remember that I won't let her go till they entered Soleanna."

"Okay...But please don't hurt her!" Vanilla the Rabbit begged.

"I could not cause pain to such a cute little girl...Don't worry; right now, she's picking flowers for her mommy...But in her chains of course."

Vanilla burst into silent tears. "Promise that she will return to my arms unharmed..."

"As long as you stick to our deal!"

The line was cut after this sentence.

Vanilla the Rabbit hung up the phone. She looked out of her window to the sunny day outside.

Meanwhile in a distant lab, Metal-Sonic laid in a tube; regenerating his power. All was quiet until he received a transmission from his maker.

"...Metal-Sonic...It's me; Doctor Eggman...I have kidnapped Princess Elise...But that pesky little hedgehog...isn't giving up...I want you to destroy him...I am counting on you..."

The tube opened and Metal-Sonic jumped out.

"Understood." Metal-Sonic replied in that cold, robotic voice of his.

Metal-Sonic scanned the coordinates for any trace of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sure enough, he was in Soleanna.

Metal-Sonic flared his red eyes in the darkness.

"Target found."

Firing up his jetpack, he then flew out of the base to Soleanna.

Sonic tried to catch Doctor Eggman's ship.

"Hang on Elise! I'm coming!" Sonic yelled.

Suddenly, Metal-Sonic appeared out of nowhere and blocked Sonic's way.

"You again!? Out of my way! I don't have time for this right now!" Sonic shouted angrily.

But Metal-Sonic stayed as still as a rock.

"It end's here Sonic the Hedgehog!" Metal-Sonic replied.

Before any violence would go down, another robot landed between them. But it wasn't a foe.

It was Omega.

"Omega!" Sonic yelled out; shocked.

"You..." Metal-Sonic muttered.

"Go Sonic...I will take care of him..." Omega ordered.

"Why would you help me Omega? Did you finally decide to join the forces of good?" Sonic asked.

"Negative...But I have one and only one mission only; to destroy all of Eggman's robots." Omega replied.

Metal-Sonic glared at the machine in front of him. "This has to be a joke."

"Thanks Omega! I owe you one!" Sonic yelled behind him as he dashed off towards Doctor Eggman's ship again.

"You have interfered with my plans...I will send you to the scrapyard, you pathetic excuse of a robot!" Metal-Sonic threatened.

Metal-Sonic initiated a battle with Omega. Metal clanked with metal as hits were delivered to each of them.

Metal-Sonic quickly sent a jab towards Omega, who parried the attack and sent a swift kick back. It was a direct hit, but Metal-Sonic didn't seem to flinch. Once more, Metal-Sonic went on the offensive; sending his own round-house kick smack at Metal-Sonic's torso. This successfully knocked the robot away, but Omega would only watch as Metal-Sonic's eyes would beam a fearsome red.

"You're going to pay for that."

Almost immediately after this was said, Metal-Sonic activated his boosters and crashed into Omega. Omega was knocked straight through one building, but managed to hold his enemy away. Slowly pushing him and Metal-Sonic out of the debris, he sent a strong punch to smack Metal-Sonic away.

Realizing that he had been stalling for too long, Metal-Sonic reached his limit.

"ENOUGH!"

Before Omega could react, Metal-Sonic fired a spray of projectiles from his stungun, which had paralyzed his opponent.

Omega fell backwards; waves of electricity visibly moving throughout his robotic body.

"ERROR! SYSTEM OVERBURDENED!"

Metal-Sonic casually walked up to Omega; his eyes still glowing an ominous red.

"Did you really think you would defeat me? You are a disgrace of a robot. I shall dispose of you immediately."

But before he could, Metal-Sonic realized that there was a nearby creature staring at them from a distance. He seemed awfully familiar...

Suddenly, the uninvited guest began approaching them.

"Excuse me...Have you seen someone that goes by the name of Sonic the Hedgehog?" The dark figure asked.

"...Shadow the Hedgehog? Is that you?" Omega questioned; his systems slowing regenerating.

"Shadow? Your new look surprises me." Metal-Sonic stated.

"I am not Shadow the Hedgehog...But I know who he is." The stranger replied

"Who are you then?" Metal-Sonic asked; getting a bit impatient.

"My name is Mephelis the Dark, and when I ask for anything I demand answers!" Mephelis shouter angrily.

"I don't have time for 20 Questions; if you have come here to die, then so be it." Metal-Sonic threatened; turning his artillery against Mephelis.

Mephelis suddenly opened a purple portal. "...Fools...If you only had helped me, I would have spared both of your pathetic lives. Now I am going to destroy you instead...Have a pleasant future!"

Both Metal-Sonic and Omega were sucked into the vortex; not knowing what exactly would be in store for the both of them.

The last thing Metal-Sonic and Omega would hear from their own world would be the Mephelis's maniacal laughter...

When Omega had finally rebooted his systems, he began trying to contact Team Dark.

"Come in Team Dark...Come in..." Omega tried communicating.

Unfortunately, there was no signal for him to do so..

Metal-Sonic tried the same with Doctor Eggman.

"Doctor Eggman...We have a problem...Come in Doctor Eggman!" Metal-Sonic also shouted. Again, it was no use.

Metal-Sonic turned off his radio while he and Omega were sucked even further into the portal. The second he has the chance, he'll tear the robot next to him apart.

Meanwhile in a distant base...

"Everything is going exactly as planned!" One person told the other.

"Not really...We didn't know that Team Chaotix and Metal-Sonic were going to Soleanna too. This may change things for the worse." His partner worriedly responded.

"Do not worry...They will be a part of our plan too...As soon as they all have defeated Solaris."

"Agreed."

"Then they will release Hell itself!"

"But what about Doctor Eggman and Metal-Sonic...will they too be a part of our plan?"

"They will also contribute to our cause. Best of all, they won't realize what they're doing for us until it's too late!"

"And Shadow the Hedgehog? What shall be of him?"

"I leave Shadow the Hedgehog to you...I am sure that you can take care of him."

"As you wish."

"Good."

"When will you contact the rest of us?"

"They are already on their way."

"Really?"

"Yes. I assure you; Sonic the Hedgehog will have the surprise of his lifetime...that is, his very last surprise..."

"I like the sound of that."

"Well then, you now know what you must do. Proceed with the operation!"

"Yes sir."

The second person left, leaving the first looking out the window.

He grinned.

"Beware Sonic the Hedgehog...Beware of the League of Villains..."
