Chapter 2: Race to Jump City

It was quite a historic race between Sonic the Hedgehog and Kid Flash whom were obviously neck and neck as the two were racing toward Jump City.

"You're pretty fast for a hedgehog" said Kid Flash who was racing right next to Sonic.

"Hey, I've beaten faster people than you" laughed Sonic.

"You want to place that bet?" asked Kid Flash.

"Gladly, the loser buys the winner lunch" laughed Sonic.

"You're on" laughed Kid Flash.

"Sonic, wait!" cried Tails who was flying not far behind the two and was desperately trying to catch up, "I knew I should have flown in the Tornado to catch up with him today!"

Both Kid Flash and the blue hedgehog were neck and neck as they were heading to the city limits of Jump City. They were eventually matched, yet Sonic managed to make it to the finish line first as he simply stuck out his tongue, making him quite the obvious winner.

"Looks like I bet you by my own tongue" laughed Sonic.

"Hey, no fair, you can't do that" said Kid Flash, "I want a rematch."

"Sorry, you have to get the chilidogs" said Sonic.

"Fine" said Kid Flash to which he sped away and then sped back with Tails just arriving who was all tired out.

"That was quite fast, but I could have pulled it faster" laughed Sonic as he started to eat his chilidog.

"You know, those chilidogs will eventually one day slow you down" laughed Kid Flash, "anyway, I'm heading over to meet up with my old buddies, see ya."

"So Sonic, why are we here in Jump City?" asked Tails as Sonic gave him his chilidog to eat.

"Why to sight see of course, and if there's any trouble we don't mind helping out the locals" added Sonic.

"I don't know, I heard Jump City has a lot of dangerous criminals" said Tails as he ate his chilidog, "these criminals are not like Dr. Eggman."

"Yeah, speaking of old eggy, last time we faced off with him was when he built that crazy chaos suit of his" added Sonic.

"Well, I heard on the news that he had escaped from his prison" said Tails.

"Escaped, really, he could make a plan for himself to escape a hi-tech military base?" laughed Sonic.

"The report isn't giving us detail on who might have helped him escape, but they just so happen to reside here in Jump City" continued Tails.

"Well then, let's go recapture old eggy and bring him back to justice" laughed Sonic as he sped off with Tails following him.

Yet as Sonic and Tails were going to do their investigation in Jump City's local villains, Eggman was back at the secret lair of Red X, who was joined by Jynx, Mammoth and Gizmo.

"There is a Chaos Emerald that'll be displayed at the Jump City museum tonight" said Dr. Eggman, "an exhibit will be displayed to the public, the event is suppose to be heavily guarded, think you can handle it?"

"There is no security on this planet that would stop me" said Red X, "and once you've built that chaos suit for me, not even the Teen Titans will stop me."

As Eggman and his allies were plotting to acquire a Chaos Emerald, in Titan Tower, Sonic had dashed there in quite a hurry with Tails right behind him. Kid Flash was already there first just for a visit before dashing off to other parts of the world.

"So, this is who you were racing here?" asked Robin.

"He doesn't look so tough, with that belly of his, I bet he can't really go as fast as you said he could" laughed Cyborg as he noticed Sonic's weight.

"Oh yeah, just watch me big guy" said Sonic as he then dashed all over the place, and then back to his original spot, "care to apologize?"

Suddenly Rogue the Bat appeared on the main computer screen of the Titan Tower with Shadow.

"Sonic, what the heck are you doing here?" asked Rogue.

"Hey, that's what I want to know with you two" laughed Sonic.

"Look, there is going to be an event that's going to be held at the local museum here in Jump City" said Rogue, "we could use some help from you Teen Titans."

"Word on the street says Eggman's going to strike at the event" said Shadow, "GUN has information regarding that he was helped out by a few local villains."

"So that's Eggman's plan, but that's always Eggman's plan is to always capture a Chaos Emerald" said Sonic.

"Yeah, but why does he need the extra help is what we're puzzled about" added Shadow.

"Don't worry, you can count on us" said Robin.

"So are you staying with us?" asked Cyborg to Kid Flash.

"Sorry, I just stopped by to say hi" said Kid Flash as he then dashed right off.

"Great, we got stuck with the blue hedgehog" sighed Raven.

"Hey, I'm loads of fun here" said Sonic.

"Well, there's only room for one party animal and it's me" said Beast Boy.

"Can't we all share?" asked Sonic.

"Yes, please, we have to do this if we want to stop this Eggman from stealing the emerald" added Starfire.

"Thank you" said Sonic for Starfire agreeing with him.

As soon as nightfall began, the Titans along with Sonic and Tails met up with Shadow and Rogue at the museum. Security was typically tight for the exhibit of the chaos emerald to be shown to the public for the first time, but Robin felt a familiar presence that an old foe was helping Eggman in this episode, but who, and for what reasons why is he bothering to help someone like Eggman at all. As the museum director was unveiling the chaos emerald to the public, a red x goo was shot out from nowhere trapping the director and the guards in their place.

"I think it would be wise if you'll just hand over the chaos emerald to us, and everything will go down just fine" said Red X as he appeared with Eggman, Jynx, Mammoth and Gizmo.

"I don't think so" said Robin as he and the Titans leaped right into the scene with Sonic, Tails, Shadow and Rogue, "because this time you'll be going down. Titans, go!"
