Me: Hey guys, here's another chapter to Sonic Unleashed Retold. Splatoon 2 came out two months ago.
Sonic: How is it? Did you solve the mystery of Callie's disappearance?
Me: It's really fun. It has improvements from the first game. And the mystery is just what my friend, Lukas, and I suspected. Callie was captured and hypnotized by a pair of hypno shades created by DJ Octavio. Sorry for spoilers, folks.
Elise: I knew that's what happened. Especially after seeing Callie's silhouette in the end of Splatoon 2's story mode trailer. It did look like she had shades on.
Me: Yeah. It really was fun. I also got to be in some Splatfests. I was Team Ketchup in the Team Mayo Vs. Team Ketchup and Team Flight in Team Flight Vs. Team Invisibility. So here's the chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
When the team reached Spagonia, they talked to Professor Pickle's assistant. Next to him was female hedgehog with brown hair, blue eyes, and wearing a purple dress and red rimmed glasses. It was Emilie, the new teammate Gage, Sonic and Tails mentioned.
"What? Professor Pickle's been kidnapped?" Tails yelled.
"It was a little bit before the tremors hit," Professor Pickle's assistant said. "This old man showed up with a...and a...and a whole pack of robots."
"They carried poor Professor Pickle off, lab data and all," Emilie said.
"It can't be," Tails said.
"That sure sounds like Eggman," Sonic said.
"What a horrible thing to do," Chip said. "We gotta help that professor guy out, and fast. If he got kidnapped that long ago, he's gotta be real hungry by now. And...and if I was that hungry, I don't know how long I would last. I'd rather be dead." Then he passed out and a ghost version of himself appeared. Then the ghost returned to Chip's body.
"I'm sure Eggman is feeding him, even he's not that cruel," Gage said.
"OK, let's go and find the professor," Elise said. Emilie joined the team as well. The team gathered information about the professor. It turns out Eggman took him to Mazuri. So the heroes went there. They got there by the time night came so Sonic, Elise and Nelly came to Mazuri in their beast forms.
"Professor Pickle!" Tails replied. "Are you alright? We got here as fast as we could. Professor?"
"Um...hello?" Chip asked. Then it got to Nelly's favorite part when the professor explained how a real cucumber sandwich should be made. So Tails set the professor free from his prison.
"Now, first thing's first. It's about time someone taught the chef here to make a proper sandwich," Professor Pickle said.
"You can file a complaint later, Professor," Emilie said.
"Let's get out of here before Eggman's welcoming committee shows up," Sonic growled.
"Oh yes, quite. But let us make to collect the contents of that vault before departing," Professor Pickle said. So Sonic stretch his arm and punched the vault door down. Ashton got the contents out and gave them to the professor. Chip offered some chocolate for the road to the Professor which he accepted.
'I'll never understand how Chip got that much chocolate,' Nelly thought. So the heroes went back to Spagonia.
When the team got back, Professor Pickle explained the documents that Eggman had.
"These ancient documents are called the Gaia Manuscripts," the professor said. "They tell of a disaster that befell our planet some tens of thousands of years ago."
"A disaster?" Elise asked.
"Quite. And according to the Gaia Manuscripts, this isn't the first time the planet has broken apart into pieces," Professor Pickle said, leaving the team shocked. "The cause lies in the very core of the planet. All of the phenomena we have witnessed are the direct result of one creature...the entity spawned deep in the planet's core, Dark Gaia."
"So how do we stop Dark Gaia and put the planet back together?" Ashton asked.
"Luckily, Dark Gaia is yet to be fully reborn," the Professor said. "We most likely have Dr. Eggman's premature wake up call to thank for that. Now, we may be able to restore the planet by returning power to the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic, you and you're friends and girlfriend should go to each of the temples listed in the Gaia Manuscripts. The planet's power will restore the Chaos Emeralds. And in turn, the Chaos Emeralds will restore the planet and help it heal naturally."
"Gage and I will go with you, Tails will guide us with the Tornado," Emilie said. Sonic, Elise, Nelly and Ashton agreed to let Emilie and Gage join. First stop, Mazuri.
Back in Mazuri, Eggman stood before the villagers. Eggman tried to ask where the Temple of Gaia was, but one of the villagers threw a rock at Eggman, making Orbot laugh at him. Then Sonic, Elise, Nelly, Ashton, Emilie and Gage came and destroyed the robots.
"What? Sonic!" Eggman yelled. "And he's with Nelly!"
"Yo, Eggman! Thanks for that skydiving trip the other day," Sonic said, sarcastically.
"I should have know you and your girlfriend would still be alive, you stubborn little hedgehog," Eggman yelled.
"What are you doing out here?" Elise asked.
"I see no reason to tell you or your boyfriend, princess. In any case, I'm busy. Farewell!" Eggman said.
"Huh? Hey! Wait! That's playing dirty! Come back!" Chip yelled.
"Just ignore him," Nelly said. "Is everybody here alright?" The villagers all said yes and thanked the team. So the heroes went to chase down Eggman and find the Temple of Gaia. After going through one level, the team reached Eggman with Sonic holding Elise in his arms. Then Eggman got out his latest robot, Egg Beetle. So the team fought the robot with Elise helping with her fire powers and Gage's ice powers and Emilie game powers. After the battle, Chip spotted something.
"Is that the Temple of Gaia?" Sonic asked.
"Let's check it out," Chip said. So the team jumped down and went inside. Once inside, Chip noticed a strange pedestal and flew to get a closer look.
"Hey, what's this hole?" Chip asked.
"Wait! There could be some kind of..." Elise yelled, only to be cut off but a tremble. Chip flew back to the team and hid behind Sonic, who held Elise close to him to keep her safe. But then a small pedestal appeared. So the team got a closer look. Chip was confused, so Sonic pulled out one of the Chaos Emeralds on the pedestal. The emerald flew up and glowed.
"Wahoo! The emerald's come back to life!" Gage yelled.
"This was the Temple of Gaia," Emilie said.
"That's why Eggman was so keen on taking the place over," Nelly said. Then the earth trembled again, this time much worse. Before the team left, Tails came in with good news, one of the planet's pieces has been restored.
"At this rate, you'll have the planet back together in no time, Sonic," Tails said.
"A planet sized jigsaw puzzle? Sounds like a great excuse to save the world," Sonic said.
"And the perfect vacation for you and I," Elise said.
"Indeed, Elise," Sonic said. So the team went back to Spagonia to gather more information. But when night came, the heroes heard a familiar voice, Amy.
"Found you, Sonic and Elise!" Amy yelled and hugged Sonic tightly. "Aw, Sonic, I've been looking for you and Elise forever!"
"Hey, let me go!" Sonic said.
"You're crazy if you think you can get away from Amy Rose and...um..." Amy said, but looked up to see Sonic's werehog form and Elise's vampire form. "Who are you guys? Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I totally mistook you guys for someone else. That is so strange, I could have sworn it was them. Anyway, I'm really sorry. See you later." With that, Amy left. Sonic outstretched his arm as if telling Amy to come back. Chip was confused why Amy didn't recognize the team.
"Well, that was weird," Chip said. "How come that girl didn't know you were you, Sonic. Or you, Elise. Not even you, Nelly. I mean, I guess you are kinda...and you know...these guys." This left Sonic and Elise sad that Chip is so scared of his form at night. Chip tried to cheer the couple up, but they just walked away. Emilie and Gage felt bad for Sonic and Elise, so did Nelly.
