Chapter 2

-At the Station Square Hotel, hours after his friends returned and brought him into his room to recover from his encounter from Mephiles, Sonic wakes up with Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose and Cream at his side.

Place:Station Square Hotel-Room(Night)

Sonic:(yawning)Man, I need to stop underestimating my enemies.

Tails:Sonic, are you alright? We thought that Mephiles finished you off when he attacked that final time.

Sonic:You know me, it takes more than a couple of cheap shots to take me out.

-Then Amy walks up to Sonic with a worried look.

Amy:Sonic! You're ok!(Hugs Sonic)

Sonic:(muffling)I won't if you don't let go of me.

Amy:(Releasing Sonic)Sorry.

-Knuckles gives Sonic a letter.

Sonic:I must have a fan.

Knuckles:Guess who's it from.

Sonic:(Spotting the Mark of the Babylon Rogues)He must want to race.

-Sonic opens the letter.

Sonic:It reads:

Sonic the Hedgehog, I'm sure that you remember our last encounter at the Babylon Garden. Before we left, I said that it would be a different story next time. I'm challenging you to a race through Station Square to Emerald Coast tomorrow at noon. And these are the stipulations: I win and you hand over your Extreme Gear, but if you win, I will ally myself with you. If you accept this challenge, meet me at the bank.

Legendary Wind Master, Jet the Hawk

Leader of The Babylon Rogues

Sonic:I need some action anyway, I'll race him.

Knuckles:Not suprised.

Tails:Well, I've upgraded the Blue Star II, so you should be ready for tomorrow.

Sonic:Thanks Tails.

The next day,at the bank...

-Sonic and Jet are at the starting line, with the Storm and Wave on Jet's side and Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Cream on Sonic's side.

Wave:Alright, this is a sprint race from here to the Emerald Coast Beach. Same rules apply that was held in the EX World Grand Prix. Ready? 3...

Sonic:You ready?

Wave:2...

Jet:Ready to beat you.

Wave:1...GO!

-Jet and Sonic blasts off at supersonic speed and dashes through the city, dodging cars, trucks, pedestrians and detours in the city. After two minutes , they find their way through Station Square and meet up on the path to Emerald Beach.

Sonic:You must've been training.

Jet:I don't need practice, but you're going to need a ride after I beat you.

-Jet slashes at Sonic with his Bashyo Fans, but Sonic dodges it by jumping. Sonic retaliates by using Sonic Wind, but Jet evades the attack by sliding from Sonic. For the next five minutes, they go back and forth in attacking and evading until they both see the finish line. Sonic takes the lead, then Jet takes the lead.

Jet:I'm not losing this time.

-Sonic uses a Spindash, propelling him to the finish line,where his and Jet's friends are waiting, and beats Jet.

Jet:NOOOOO!

Sonic:Jet, you lose.

Jet:Fine, you win. As agreed, I will align myself with you. On two conditions:I will not be a babysitter and I do my own things.

Sonic:Fine with me.

-Tails' communicator beeps.

Tails:Hello Shade.

Shade:Greetings Tails. Have you seen Knuckles?

-Knuckles comes over after hearing Shade's voice.

Knuckles:What's up Shade?

Shade:I have some bad news: The Master Emerald is gone.

Knuckles:WHAT? You were supposed to be gaurding it!

Shade:I was outmatched by Eggman's robot. It looked like Sonic.

Knuckles:That was Metal Sonic. We'll be there soon.

Shade:That's not necessary. I'll teleport to you're location.(Disconnects)

-Shade teleports behind Knuckles. After a few minutes(and a brief introduction between the Babylon Rogues and Shade the Echinda), she tells them of the fight and the communicator she found afterwards.

Place:Emerald Coast

Tails:This must be Eggman's communicator. By using it, we can zero in on his new location by using the coordinates in it.

Wave:Not bad, shorty. I'm impressed.

Knuckles:So Eggman has the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald.

-Then a portal opens and Blaze comes out and lands on her feet and with her, Silver the Hedgehog and Marine the Racoon.

Blaze:Hello, Sonic.

Sonic:Blaze, what brings you here?

Silver:The Sol Emeralds and the Jeweled Scepter.

Marine:And another adventure!

Blaze:Yes, the Sol Emeralds and the Jeweled Scepter were stolen by Whiskers,Johnny and

Eggman Nega.

's strange, all of these sources of power are being stolen by our enemies. Almost like they're-

Eggman:On the same side?

-Sonic and co. turn around to see Eggman in an Eggmobile with a machine gun mounted on the sides and bottom.

Sonic:Eggman, what are you up to now?

Eggman:I got tired of losing so I called on some people to assist me in my plan.

Knuckles:What is it this time?

Eggman:If you must know, although you're efforts will prove futile, I intend to take over the universes. By using that blueprint we used to make the ship that traveled to Twilight Cage on your last adventure, I created a machine that will allow me to travel to many universes.

-Mephiles appears behind Jet.

Mephiles:And we need that cube for it to be a success.

-Mephiles takes the Babylon Cube from Jet and uses Chaos Control.

Jet:I'm not going to let you get away from me!(Hops on his Gear and flies after Eggman)

Eggman:Bad decision.(Fires from one of the mounted guns and shoots Jet down, escaping )

Jet:He escaped!

Sonic:We have to go after them. Tails,where is his base?

Tails:He's at Reactive Factory

Knuckles:I remember that place. He created a mechanical version of me that I raced against.

Jet:Let's go!

Wave&Storm:You got it Boss!

-Jet, Wave and Storm leave on their Extreme Gear and head to Reactive Factory.

Sonic:He's as stubborn as Knuckles. But we need to go after Eggman and stop him.

Tails:We're going to need help though.

Sonic:I know just the people.

At The ARK...

-Shadow and E-123"Omega" are in the Information Storage Archives, finding clues about Shadow's past.

Shadow:Nothing. Not even a blueprint

E-123:Sensors indicate three targets on this battle mode.

Shadow:It must be the G.U.N.

Sonic:Not even close, Shad.(appearing in front of Shadow)

Shadow:What do you want? We're on a very important mission here.

Tails:Eggman's back.

Shadow:(chuckles)Figures he would be back. He's almost as stubborn about taking over the world as you are cocky, Sonic.

Knuckles:(growls)Maybe you wanna fight.

Shadow:(smirks)I'm sure you're friends told you to pick your fights wisely.

Tails:Shadow, we need your help to defeat Mephiles,who is back also.

Shadow:Fine, we'll help you, and plus I bet Omega wants revenge against Eggman for what he did to him, isn't that right Omega?

E-123:Affirmative.

Knuckles:I also got friends that can help us.

At The Chaotix Detective Agency...

-Vector, Espio and Charmy Bee are in their office, bored because of the lack of work.

Vector:I'd wish we would get some work soon.

Charmy Bee:Maybe we can call Knuckles.

Espio:I'm sure he's still gaurding that Master Emerald.

-Espio's communicator activates with Knuckles on the other end.

Knuckles:You guys must be bored.

Vector,Charmy Bee& Espio:Knuckles!

Knuckles:Eggman is at it again. You feel like giving his base a makeover?

Espio:Of course.

Vector:He still owes us anyway, so I'm in

Charmy Bee:Me too!

Knuckles:Meet us at the Station Square Hotel.

At Cream's House...

-Amy and Cream were in the dining room of Vanilla(Cream's mother), with Vanilla and Gemel.

Amy:So in short, Eggman is back. I'm sorry if you didn't approve of Cream's last adventure with us.

Vanilla:It's alright. She's still young, but I know that you'll make her strong. You can take her with you.

Amy:Thanks.

Cream:See you later, mom.

-Amy and Cream leave the house and back to the Station Square Vanilla turns to

Gemel.

Vanilla:Gemel, I need you to watch over them.

Gemel:What about you?

Vanilla:I can defend myself.

-Then Gemel leaves.
