Sonic, Tails, and Eggman were surprised when the new visitor spoke to them in a friendly tone because they thought he came to destroy Earth with the weapons he had on him. After Ozone introduced himself, Sonic was the first to respond, "Oh, I'm Sonic". Tails and Eggman introduced themselves as well to the guest. After a while, Eggman came up with a way to use Ozone to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog.
Tails took a closer look at the shrunken space pod and asked, "Hey, Ozone, do you mind if I borrow your space craft?" Ozone replied, "Take it if you want, I'm going to be on this planet for a long time." With that, he turned to look at the fat man and began to ask him questions about Earth. Eggman told Ozone what he knew about the planet and of some things that happened, like the black arms and races on extreme gear. The thing that caught Ozone's attention was the master emerald and what he knew about it. Suddenly, Sonic interrupted the conversation and hauled off the guest to a more remote place in the forest and began, "If I were you, Ozone, I wouldn't trust Eggman" Ozone was struck with wonder as to why the blue blur would say that, until he told the alien about the numerous times he tried to take over the world and the tactics he used.
Ozone was just about convinced to never trust Eggman, until the fat doctor bumped in and did what Sonic did to separate him from Ozone. Eggman already heard what Sonic told him about the times he tried to take over the world, and told the confused alien that they were all lies. Afterwards, he started to make up his own lies about how Sonic and his friends are the real villains. Surprisingly, that did the trick, and Ozone was now convinced that Sonic and his friends were the bad guys.
Sonic was talking to Tails about the visitor and the stuff he had on him, until the fox suddenly remembered that Sonic had a date with Amy tomorrow evening. "Oh, man! I completely forgot." Sonic yelled in surprise. He turned to face Eggman and Ozone and told them, "Sorry to leave like this, but I gotta go, later Ozone…" He gave the doctor a stare that showed held-back anger and said, "… And Eggman, you'd better not get any ideas with Ozone." With that, he sped off towards the city. Tails simply bowed his head in appreciation for the miniature space pod Ozone gave him, said his goodbyes, and darted after his blue buddy.
Ozone stood there for a moment, and said, "Catch ya later, doc. I'm gonna check out this planet for a while." With that, he jumped towards the sky and used is levitation powers to fly around the world. He was enjoying some landmarks and attractions during his exploration of Earth, but some of the most interesting places he dropped by were the Mystic Ruins, Casino Park and similar casino places, Soleanna, and Angel Island.
Back with Sonic, he took out the gift Amy had given him and gave it to Tails to hold on to until tomorrow. It was a pair of shoes similar to Sonic's, but had the same features as Shadow's skate shoes. It was getting late, and Sonic decided to crash in the workshop for the night. Tails didn't mind since he made a rest area for when he needed to stop working.
The next day, Sonic woke with a big yawn and began wondering about Ozone the Hedgehog and his reasons for being on Earth. His thoughts were cut short when Tails came in and reminded the blue blur about his date with Amy. "Aw, man! I totally forgot, again. Thanks again, buddy." Sonic said with shock, then added "I'm off to look for something to give to Amy for our date…." "No need, Sonic. I already have something in mind. Just tell Amy to bring her Piko Piko hammer and I'll take care of your gift problem". Tails interrupted, with excitement in his voice. Sonic thanked his orange friend and dashed for the exit. As he neared the door, he suddenly remembered the present he got from Amy and sped back to the young fox to retrieve it. "Hey, Tails, where did you put those shoes Amy bought for me?" Tails told Sonic to wait for a moment, went into his room, and came out with the shoes. Sonic then replaced his shoes with the ones Amy bought and checked himself out in a mirror. "Not bad, I'm beginning to like these shoes already. They're the right size, and have the same feature as Shadow's skate-shoes." He thought to himself before making a beeline out of Tails' place.
Back with Amy, she was getting upset that she woke up early and how she wished the date was to be held earlier. She sighed in frustration, until she remembered that she had another present. "I totally forgot about that gift." She thought it was for Sonic, until she remembered what was inside. Amy thought to herself, "Maybe I can pass the time looking for Knuckles and giving him that present." After a while, she dashed off to look for the red Echidna.
The red echidna in question was strolling around Westopolis looking out for anything that could mean trouble, ranging from common criminals to Eggman's creations. He was strolling around, until he heard something that really gave him the chills: Amy Rose. From his experience, he knows that to be better off, just keep away from the pink hedgehog, that is, until today. He took a chance, and asked what Amy's up to this time. "Knuckles, you're not going to believe what I found! Come with me, I'll show ya!" With that, she grabbed Knuckles' arm and ran towards her house.
When they got there, the echidna began to regret the chance he took by going with Amy, but that took a turn for the better later. "Knuckles, that big present is yours." He stood there doing the anime sweatdrop, and thanked Amy for the sudden turn of events. They unwrapped the big gift together, with Amy in excitement. When the present was unwrapped, Knuckles stood there dumbfounded, like his jaw dropped to the floor and eyes popped out of his head. "What do you think, Knuckles? I found it in an antique store and thought you might like it." A moment later, he said, "Wait here, I have to see if this is a joke." With that, he made a beeline straight for Angel Island to check on the Master Emerald.
About five minutes later, Knuckles returned speechless. "What's wrong, Knuckles?" Amy asked. He stuttered for a moment, then said, "Amy, do you know what that gem you got me is?" "I don't know. I asked the store owner about it and he told me it was similar to the Master Emerald he was told about, and found it somewhere. He also said it was the only one he found." Knuckles then remembered something from his childhood that he forgot over the years.
Uh, oh! Seems like Ozone has been tricked by Eggman. How will Sonic and co. respond to this? What is it that Knuckles remembered? Stay tuned and you'll find out on the next chapter of The Rise of Ozone the Hedgehog: Defender of Peace.
