Previously on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
After confronting Shade and fighting her for awhile, TodStar left the Feathered Icecap with the Chaos Emeralds, leaving Knuckles and Bunnie to deal with her.

After meeting Ix and hearing the name Finitevus from him, Locke witnessed the Master Emerald shatter into pieces!
Can Knuckles and Bunnie defeat Shade? Where are the six Mobians taking TodStar, how do they know him, and why are they interested in the Chaos Emeralds? And can Locke restore the Master Emerald? Find out next in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius!
Chapter Four: The Reunion Downunda
As Bunnie awakened, she realized that she was still on top of the Feathered Icecap, and she saw Knuckles now struggling to fight Shade... before everything started rumbling!
"Oh mah stars!" She exclaimed.
"Wh-what's going on?" Asked Shade.
"I'm not sure..." Knuckles replied. "But I'll bet it has something to do with the Master Emerald..." The three of them then noticed that the sky seemed to be going up... or the island was falling! "No! Not this!"
"What?" Shade asked.
"Something is very wrong with the Master Emerald!" Knuckles replied. "Without its power, all of Angel Island will fall to the planet bel-UGH!" Knuckles was knocked unconscious by another Nocturnus. This was when Bunnie decided it'd be best if she flew away.
"Shoot her down. While I take this one." Shade ordered before he disappeared with Knuckles in tow, while the other Nocturnus soldiers began to fire at Bunnie, but she was out of range.
"Oh mah stars!" She cried as she saw Angel Island was falling towards some ruins. "The whole dern island's gonna crash into Glyphic Canyon!"
Meanwhile, TodStar had awakened in a cave, only to find that the Chaos Emeralds were gone from sight!
"Ahh! The Chaos Emeralds!" He shouted as he looked around in a panic.
"Chill out, TodStar..." Said a voice that he recognized. Emerging from the shadows was a red Mobian wallaby, wearing a brown vest, brown three-fingered gloves, brown elbow pads and brown shoes. "The Emeralds are deeper in the cave, mate."
"...Walt..." TodStar said, before a white female koala came into view, wearing a brown sash over her right shoulder, red gloves that had spikes similar to TodStar's on them, a black belt and red boots. "Barby..."
"Long time no see, eh?" She asked him. As she said that, four more Mobians came out of the shadows. First was a small yellow wombat who wore a gray trucker hat, green gloves and grey boots.
Next was a tall blue emu who wore a yellow bandana and a pink bandana on his head. He also had pink glasses, a white t-shirt, a gold medallion with the peace logo on it, and brown flip-flops (or thongs, as they all call them!).
Next to him was a small aqua platypus, who had a little bit of gold in his hair. He was wearing some goggles on his head, white gloves, and black sneakers with a yellow stripe on them.
Finally, there was a large, muscular, purple tasmanian devil. He was wearing green gloves (slightly brighter than the wombat's) and shoes of the same colour.
"Stu... Guru... Bill... Thrash..." TodStar exclaimed as he looked at the six of them, before turning his back to them. "Never thought I'd see you bogans again..."
"Likewise, mate." Said Bill. "I mean, we all thought you, Lily and Vector got killed when Eggman attacked."
"...Yeah, well, we all survived." TodStar replied. "Though I only found out about Lily recently... Anyway, why'd you guys bring me here? I thought you all hated the three of us. Not counting you, Guru."
"No worries, man." Guru replied.
"Carn, Toddy, we're all grown-up now." Stu told him. "Can't we try to get along?"
"*sigh* I will if you blokes will..." TodStar replied, which was when Barby sat beside him.
"TodStar, there's somethin' I gotta tell you..." She said to the green echidna, getting his attention.
"If this is about you secretly liking me, forget it. I'm already taken." He said back, making Barby blush.
"What- no, that's not what I was gonna say!" Barby replied, before calming back down. "What I was gonna say was... I actually felt bad for you three back then..." This shocked everyone in the cave.
"Are you serious, Barby?" Bill shouted in disbelief, before she nodded. "Then why'd you pick on 'im with the rest of us?"
"I only did it cause I wanted to fit in with you guys..." Hearing this, Walt stepped forward.
"Ditto." He said, making everyone freak out again. However, none of them were aware of Nocturnus soldiers appearing deeper in the cave, where the Chaos Emeralds lied...
"You too, Walt?" Shouted Thrash.
"Yeah." He replied. "Look, TodStar, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me, mate?"
"Hey... it's all in the past, right?" TodStar asked the group, and they all sighed with relief.
"Well, now that you've reunited with the Downunda Dags, how 'bout yo- What was that?" Asked Walt, before they all heard clanging from deeper in the cave...
"*gasp* The Chaos Emeralds!" Gasped Barby, as they all ran deeper into the cave.
One of the Nocturnus soldiers had managed to vanish with one of the Chaos Emeralds. The other soldiers was about to leave with another Emerald when...
"...Spear!" Shouted TodStar as he threw a Chaos Spear at the soldier. And while he dodged the attack, he also dropped the Emerald. All of the Downunda orphans were amazed at TodStar's actions!
"That's pretty cool, mate." Thrash told him as his right hand was set ablaze.
"You can thank Shadow the Hedgehog for that." TodStar replied, before turning his attention back to the Nocturnus soldier. "Get away from those Emeralds, now!"
"I don't think so, Brother of the Guardian..." The soldier replied as he started juggling the two Chaos Emeralds he just picked up. "...for every Nocturnus soldier knows your major weakness..."
"What?" TodStar asked, before clenching his fists, and looking quite angry. "Shade. That dibba-dobba!"
"What weakness, TodStar?" Bill asked out of curiousity.
"You're about to find out! *cackle*" Shouted the Nocturnus soldier as he slid the Chaos Emerald across the floor, towards TodStar, giving him great pain!
"Mate? What's wrong?" Asked Walt.
"The Emerald..." TodStar groaned. "Get it away from me!" Walt then used his tail to whack that Chaos Emerald further out of the cave, where the other Nocturnus soldier was waiting for it!
"That's it, come to papa!" He said as the Emerald got closer. But suddenly, it vanished before he could get his hands on it! "What?" Back in the cave, the other five Emeralds started glowing, then vanished!
"The Emeralds!" Cried everyone in the cave. As the Nocturnus soldiers disappeared (in a different way than the Chaos Emeralds did, mind you), the seven Downunda orphans experienced what felt like an earthquake!
"What in the Realm of Iblis?" Shouted Thrash as TodStar fell down to the ground again.
"Angel Island..." TodStar said. "It's fallen down from the sky... that's why the ground's shaking!"
"WHAT?" Shouted the rest of the orphans in disbelief.
Early next morning, a brown raccoon wearing a red hat, a red long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls and brown boots was investigating Glyphic Canyon along with a pink frog with long, blonde hair, wearing a crown and a pink dress.
"Well, Princess... apart from Angel Island crashing into the ruins, I don't see anything unusual..." Said the raccoon plumber.
"That's just it, Mario..." The Princess told him. "Maybe we should check out Angel Island. As far as I know, it's only falls to the ground when Little Planet appears above Never Lake. And it's too early for that."
"*sigh* All right." Said the raccoon the Princess called Mario. "I still think that bringing a bunch of Toad Chao with us was a bad idea..."
"Hey, don't blame me. They insisted!" The Princess replied as walked towards Angel Island with the Toad Chao following her.
"(And c'mon Peach, that myth about Little Planet & Never Lake is just that. A myth!)" Mario thought as he ran after them.
Before they could get onto the island however, the frog Princess slipped and fell into the canyon!
"Peach!" Cried Mario as all of the Toad Chao flew down after her. As the Toad Chao caught the Princess, she saw a small dark void above her... that eventually flew into her body before she started to move around involuntarily. When Peach's eyes opened, they were black instead of blue.
"Oh leapin' lasagna, what am I gonna tell Toadsworth?" Mario asked himself. Before he could worry anymore, the Toad Chao returned whilst carrying the Princess. "Princess, oh thank Chaos! Uhh... where'd that tail come from?" Mario noticed a tail that was poking out of the Princess's dress. She didn't answer, but she started walking towards a Chaos Emerald.
"Isn't that..." Mario asked. Again, the Princess didn't answer. But not long after she picked up the Chaos Emerald, she dropped it into her mouth and swallowed it! "What the? Peach, did you just swallow that Chaos Emerald?" She didn't answer. All she did was run away from Angel Island as fast as she could! "What? Hey Princess, wait up!" Mario shouted as he and the Toad Chao chased after her. "Bowser's gonna love this! Peach, wait for me!"
