Chapter 4: General Easttide

Sonic and Rouge go off to find the Chaos Emeralds. What they do not know is that the G.U.N. is still after them. Meanwhile, at another general's headquarters, General Easttide puts on his armband that says "east," making sure he properly dressing himself, before starting his day's work. He receives a message which has a picture of Sonic.

He finds out that he beat both Colonel Southspike and General Northfall. He is not worried, because he does not see a child as a threat. Sonic finds out that the Chaos Emerald is underwater. They land on an island and Rouge changes back to her regular height. As Rouge gets out her MoboPod case, she sees that there is only one left noticing that she mixed hers with her father's. She tosses the capsule only to get several Dirty Magazines, which Rouge reacts angrily, declaring that men are animals and tearing up the magazines, and Sonic, not knowing the implications of what the magazines were, pitying the girls as he believes that they were too poor to afford clothes. Sonic looked for the Chaos Emerald under water, while Rouge looked for places to shop on land. Sonic forgot how bad he was at swimming and returned to the surface, looking for Rouge.

Rouge runs into two G.U.N. soldiers, and they start to harass her as they want to have "fun" with her (the implication being to sexually assault her (furries)). They start to chase her in their planes. Sonic finds her and knocks them down. General Easttide is amazed, that one little boy can defeat two of his officers. Sonic then, decides to go to Turtle House for help.

Sonic and Rouge find the Turtle House to get a submarine. The Turtle Hermit is happy to see that Rouge was there. Tails and Bunnie are to get groceries. While grocery shopping, Bunnie is shocked and starts attacking people. Since they took the submarine with them, Sonic and Rouge will have to wait. Sonic and Rotor get sea food and find Rotor's son. The Turtle Hermit gives Rouge a lot of drinks to make her go to the bathroom. The G.U.N. is still tracking Sonic, and they think Turtle House is his base. General Easttide sends a soldier to look go for it.

Using the Micro Band, the Turtle Hermit becomes smaller and, pretending to watch TV, goes to the bathroom, to spy on Rouge. He accidentally gets flushed down the toilet. The Turtle Hermit makes it back, and Bunnie and Tails return with the submarine. When Tails looked at the map, he said the Chaos Emerald was close to a pirates' treasure. The Turtle Hermit then told the story. Pirates fought each other, because of the fighting; all of the treasure went overboard. Rouge, Sonic, and Tails leave to get the treasure and the Chaos Emerald. The soldier sees the island and reports it. General Easttide thinks that the Turtle Hermit is a scientist and the one who built the Chaos Radar.

Sonic, Tails, and Rouge go after the Chaos Emerald. Meanwhile, Commander Thompson finds the location of the closest Chaos Emeralds. Then, he orders General Easttide to go after the Turtle Hermit and Sonic.

After General Easttide is given the message, he immediately calls for his men. He splits his soldiers into two groups. As he will lead Company A to go after Sonic, he orders Company B, led by Captain Rico, to invade the base, Turtle House. He then uses binoculars and analyzes Sonic's attempts to find a Chaos Emerald, musing to himself that Sonic find it, so he could steal it from him. Eventually, he ends up scolding a soldier for coming up on him from behind and warns that it is very difficult to sneak up on a General and keep the soldier's teeth.

Meanwhile, at the Turtle House, the Turtle Hermit is up to his perverted tricks as he shrinks himself, using Rouge's shrink watch. Bunnie accidentally, vacuums the small Hermit, while cleaning the bathroom.

Sonic is sent out into the water to try and find the Chaos Emerald but to no luck, Rouge then discovers that the Chaos Emerald must be in an underwater cave. Tails then drives the submarine to the underwater cave, and General Easttide notices them as they find the cave. The Army fires several torpedoes, which all hit the nearby rocks, as it startles Sonic, Tails, and Rouge. As Tails drives the machine into the cave, General Easttide's gang travel in small submarines and go after them.

The G.U.N. Easttide Corps, Company B, led by Captain Rico, decide to attack Turtle House. They descend upon the Turtle Hermit. The Hermit takes out most of them with ease. One soldier holds Bunnie at gunpoint, but Rotor comes in and shocks her with a taser, allowing her to change form. Bunnie then easily defeats the soldier, keeping Turtle House safe.

Meanwhile, Tails is driving the submarine, while they try to escape from General Easttide. They find themselves in a cave when they come across a dead person's body dressed in pirate's clothing. This reminds them of the treasure that the Turtle Hermit was talking about. They then follow a trail to the treasure.

But General Easttide and about four of his men are behind them. So, they are navigating around a dark tunnel. Tails is chanting because he thinks he will get rich. Rouge just wants the Chaos Emerald. Sonic is hungry. General Easttide and his men start to enter the tunnel and one guy follows the people ahead of them.

Meanwhile, Commander Thompson is getting his picture painted by a goat painter. Staff Officer Hugo is next to him. A man tells Commander Thompson that General Easttide is following Sonic and his friends. Commander Thompson gets mad. The guy leaves. The goat finally finishes. It shows Commander Thompson actually being tall sitting in his chair next to a very short Staff Officer Hugo. Staff Officer Hugo gets kind of weird, and Commander Thompson yells at him for laughing at him.

Meanwhile, Rouge is complaining that the tunnel is too long. They finally made it out of the tunnel. They came across a room with dots on the floor and holes on the walls. They think it's weird. Tails is excited and steps on a dot. An arrow shoots through the hole above his head. They figured out that if you step on a floor dot, an arrow comes out. After making a joke about Tails being short, Sonic jumps across and says it's easy. Tails says he can do it too because he trained with the Turtle Hermit also. Rouge isn't so sure. Tails ran and jumped. He flew across with his two tails and hit the ceiling. His head hit the last couple of dots and some arrows fired. After rubbing his head a couple of times, he joined Sonic at the other side. Rouge complains that she can't jump. Sonic tells her to fly across with her wings, which she does so. When she gets to the other, Sonic says she's out of shape. Rouge yells at him while they continue through another tunnel.

This is when one of General Easttide's men saw them leaving. He went to General Easttide and the other men and told them that Sonic and the gang are not far in front. General Easttide orders the men to charge at full speed, while he walks more slowly. Suddenly, General Easttide hears some screams. He approaches the dot room and concludes his men were killed by the arrows. He steps on a dot, and an arrow comes. He thinks that the pirates could find their way around here, and searches for a secret passage. He finds a button and a piece of rock crumbles to reveal a passage. Sonic and the gang reach a room where light shines through some skulls. Rouge wonders if it is a trap. At that moment, they fall through the floor. Sonic grabs onto the ledge, Rouge grabs onto him, and Tails grabs onto Rouge's shorts. Rouge has to explain to Sonic what lava is. Meanwhile, she is yelling at Tails for wiggling because her shorts start to slip down revealing her humorousness underwear. Sonic let go and him, Rouge, and Tails fall. Sonic uses his Power Shield which catches on fire and thus prevents them from being burned to death. Tails and Rouge then grab Sonic's hands and fly him out of the hole.

They have to creep by the hole and down another tunnel. Meanwhile, General Easttide steps into a lake to find a big electric eel shocking him. General Easttide gathers up his energy and suffocates the eel. He continues on. Right about now, General Easttide and Sonic and the gang reached the same point. In the tunnel, General Easttide got right behind them. They reached a port with a giant ship. Rouge thinks that the only way to the treasure is down into the water. General Easttide runs and hides behind some boxes. Sonic notices something in a group of boxes. As they approached it, two small lights turned on. Two claws started to move. A giant Pirate Robot comes out. It chases Sonic and the group. It slashes its claws and Sonic and Tails jump and Rouge ducks. General Easttide gets scared.

Sonic and Tails start their battle with the Pirate Robot, as General Easttide watches from the hallway. Sonic and Tails throw normal punches and kicks, until Tails is punched in the face. Tails watches with Rouge, while Sonic fights alone. Sonic uses many head-butts at the Pirate Robot's chin. The Pirate Robot then shoots out bullets. Sonic retreats to higher grounds.

The Pirate Robot glides on the water to shoot Sonic. Sonic manages to make the robot crash into walls, but still is unable to win. Tails and Rouge find a machine that shoots out missiles. They shoot one at the Pirate Robot, but instead it hits Sonic. The missile makes the ceiling fall on Sonic which causes the floor he was on break. The Pirate Robot decides to chase Rouge and Tails, and none of the other missiles hit it. While they run, General Easttide stays in the hallway. The robot shoots bullets, as they go up the stairs. Rouge and Tails find a hallway and go in a room. Meanwhile, Sonic gets up, as General Easttide stays and is impressed.

In the room, there is a computer room, the Pirate Robot finds them and so does Sonic using a spin attack to get through the window. Sonic uses the Power Shield to protect Tails and Rouge as they escape. While they run away, the robot knocks Sonic out the window and goes down the stairs. When the Pirate Robot gets down the stairs, Sonic does an aerial attack, killing it. Tails and Rouge run past the door that General Easttide is behind. General Easttide follows them and makes a fake arrow, so Sonic will go the wrong way. Sonic runs there and makes the wrong turn. Tails and Rouge find a well that they go in. General Easttide follows, albeit reluctantly, as he does not want to get wet due to not having packed his bikini trunks in his field kit and having to take off his uniform, while Sonic continues going the wrong way.

Rouge and Tails continue swimming. General Easttide follows them. Sonic continues running in the wrong direction. The cave was closing in on Sonic but he kept going. He found a trapdoor and fell through it. He fell on a bouncy thing which was an octopus.

Meanwhile, General Easttide, Rouge, and Tails make it to the surface (General Easttide stayed in the water so he will not be seen). There were three treasure chests. But when they got there, a statue turned on by itself.

The octopus tried to hit Sonic with his tentacles but none hit him. The octopus grabbed him and said he was going to eat him.

The statue threw swords everywhere. Rouge hid. Tails got one out of the ground and hit the other swords with it. One came out of its face and headed for Tails. The octopus tenderized Sonic. Sonic got a large rock and threw it at his snout thinking it was his mouth. He destroyed it. The octopus showed Sonic his mouth. He was ready to eat.

Tails knocked the sword away. The statue was out of swords. Tails checked the middle chest. A pirate dummy came out and shot bullets.

Sonic managed to do one more attack: the Turtle Destruction Wave. It killed the octopus and it was roasted. Sonic was starving and decided to eat it.

The dummy ran out of bullets. Rouge headed for another chest. It had a key in it. They saw a key hole in the statue. They put it in and gold came out. General Easttide then comes out of the water to get the gold. Rouge instantly declares her attraction for General Easttide, although Easttide does not concur with her feelings as he does not pay her any mind. Tails decided to fight him.

While Sonic was eating, he heard noises of Tails getting hurt. He went in the water to get to him. Sonic's Power Shield changed into a giant bubble at this time, allowing him to survive underwater. General Easttide pounded Tails and banged him into walls. Tails managed to throw one kick in the face. General Easttide was crying since it hurt his "beautiful" face, and get angry. He was so angry; he uses his telekinetic technique, so Tails will not be able to move. General Easttide banged him into walls. General Easttide got a rock to kill Tails. After a few interruptions, Sonic came. As the fight was about to begin, the room was shaking.

After General Easttide lost focus when he got scared by a mouse, Sonic proceeds to beat the G.U.N. General, leaving him for dead. When the Pirate Cave breaks in to huge chunks and starts to slowly cave in, Rouge and Tails run to the submarine. As the whole cave is breaking apart, Sonic dives into a very deep well to try and get the Chaos Emerald. He finds the Yellow Chaos Emerald along with the entire Pirate Treasure, but only carries the Chaos Emerald back to the surface. Rouge and Tails find their little sub, and wait for Sonic. General Easttide wakes up and finds some of the treasure, and thinks he is rich, but gets buried in the cave collapse. Sonic continues to look for Rouge and Tails, running as the cave caves in. Rouge does not think it is safe to wait anymore for Sonic, and decides to leave him behind. Tails is angry at Rouge for her decision.

Sonic desperately tries to find his way out of the never-ending labyrinth. This underground Pirate Cave is just about ready to collapse. Leaving Sonic, Tails and Rouge decide not to get trapped underneath the ocean forever. As time goes on, Rouge starts to get impatient and is convinced Sonic is dead. Tails pleads that he knows Sonic will show up any minute.

Just as the cave gives out, Sonic speeds out of the demolished maze and jumps into the pirate's submarine for a quick escape. Sonic has successfully retrieved the Yellow Chaos Emerald and defeated General Easttide; thanks to the help of a mouse. Unfortunately it is not his Uncle Chuck's Emerald. As the gang tries to make their drastic escape, Rouge has to dodge huge boulders that fall in her path until one finally seals up the exit. It looks like they have reached a dead end. But, Sonic narrowly spots a second opening and they jet for freedom. The cave is really falling on them now and with their bad luck, the sub has run out of power. So Sonic decides there is only one thing left for him to do. "Everybody take a deep breath!" Sonic says and shoots a huge Turtle Destruction Wave to propel the submarine all the way out of the cave and the ocean.

They get back to General Easttide's military base on the island, where they are in search of food and some transportation. Noticing that Sonic is still going to find the Chaos Emeralds until he finds his grandpa's keepsake, Rouge yells out to him "No more crazy adventures!" since Sonic never told her and Tails that the G.U.N. was after him. They enter the command post where a guard hides in between a rack and a shelf. Commander Thompson calls on the radio looking for some answers just to find Sonic screaming back at a talking-box. He smashes the radio after it gets fancy with him and they leave. Sonic calls for the Tornado and Rouge and Tails ride in a Jet-copter to the Turtle Hermit's island. In spite of a near death experience, Rouge managed to grab a diamond the size of a fist. Which she plans to offer as compensation for destroying the Turtle Hermit's submarine. Bunnie (in her roboticized form) however steals the diamond from them as Rotor and the Hermit argued over it.

Meanwhile, General Easttide surprisingly is alive, popping his head out of the water. He swims back to the base, yells at the guard for his incompetence and kills him, and takes off in a Jet-copter armed with nothing but a roll of rope. He speeds off the G.U.N. headquarters to beg for forgiveness, unaware that Sonic has left to find his next Emerald now. He did have one compensation though: He took the Chaos Radar!
