Location: Gear Stadium

"Are you sure about this, Sonic? I'm not very good on an Extreme Gear," Mario said.

"Don't worry, Mario. It's easy!"

"I've driven Karts before, but this is a whole new deal."

Meanwhile, Wave was tuning her teammates' Extreme Gears for the race. "Jet, your Gear is all set for the race, but are you sure that you can challenge Sonic to a race? He's beaten you quite a few times."

"Wave, there's no need to worry. With me and Storm in this race, we can beat him. Plus, his pudgy friend looks like he's never ridden an Extreme Gear before."

"Just… be careful," Wave said blushing a bit.

Jet looked over to Storm. "You ready?"

Storm grunted and nodded intently.

As the 4 competitors waited at the starting line, Mario wondered if they could win this Emerald. The lights blinked red, yellow, then green, and the race began! Sonic and Jet got off to a pretty good start, but Mario was struggling behind in last place. Storm was somewhere in between the three.

"Give it up, Sonic! I've drastically improved since the last time we raced. You can't beat me!" Jet bragged.

"Really, Jet? Well, I have one question then."

Jet looked at Sonic confused.

"Are you ready to eat my dust?!" With that, Sonic dashed ahead on his Extreme Gear a long ways away from Jet. Scowling, Jet thrust his Gear ahead after Sonic.


Location: Carnival Night Zone

Under the dazzling lights of Carnival Night Zone, Peach, Amy, and Cream looked for the Chaos Emerald that had landed. Peach began to look around her at all the lights all over the place.

"This place truly is amazing." Peach marveled.

"Yep. There are a lot of places on Mobius that look amazing," Amy stated, "Then again, your world is full of amazing places as well."

Peach smiled slightly. "Well, it gets a bit dull when you constantly are kidnapped by a giant turtle pretty much every day. Always seeing the black and gray of depressing castle walls next to a giant volcano."

"Wow, that sounds very depressing, Peach," Cream said sincerely.

The trio soon came to a center pedestal in which the top of it was a yellow light glowing brightly with a strange aura.

"The Chaos Emerald!" Amy shouted.

"How are we going to get to it?" Cream asked.

"Hmm… I don't know. What do you think Peach?" Amy asked. Suddenly, she realized that Peach wasn't next to her. She looked around frantically and eventually saw Peach on top of one of the large buildings. Opening her parasol, she jumped off the building and gently floated towards the pedestal where she snatched the Chaos Emerald off the top and landed softly winking at Amy.

"Wow! That was amazing!" Amy exclaimed.

"I'm not just your usual damsel in distress." Peach said smugly. Suddenly, she saw a spiked shell fly at them from out of the corner of her eye. "Get down!" she shouted.

As Amy and Cream ducked under the shell, 7 more flew right past them. The 8 shells began to make a circle around the girls, until they saw 8 turtles pop out of their shells. It was Bowser Jr. and his siblings.

"Hello, Mamma Peach." Bowser Jr. sneered.

"Mamma Peach?" Cream asked.

"It's a long story," Peach said.

They were surrounded at all angles. Junior and his brothers and sister; Ludwig, Roy, Morton, Iggy, Lemmy, Wendy, and Larry; were prepared to strike the trio. It appeared there was no escape.

Suddenly, Roy and Morton became enveloped in a strange light blue energy and lifted out of the air.

"Help! Ludwig, what's going on?!" Morton shouted.

Just then, Roy and Morton slammed into the other 6 koopas, knocking them out in the process. Ludwig and Junior began to stand up, but a mysterious wave of psychic energy slammed them against a building. Above them, Peach saw a shadowy figure that looked similar to Amy and Sonic. The figure slowly began to float down towards them, propelled by telekinetic energy.

"Silver!" Amy shouted.

Peach looked curiously at the white-furred hedgehog. He looked similar to Sonic, but some of his spines weren't slicked back like Sonic's, and they pointed straight up at the front of his head. His gloves and shoes glowed with the same psychic energy that knocked out the Koopalings.

He looked at the 4 koopalings that were still conscious with a fury that burned in his heart. "You won't harm this world any longer! I will not let the future fall to darkness again!" With that, he propelled himself towards the koopas and began to launch them all over the place with his psychic abilities. Amy and Peach both took out their weapons, Peach with a large black frying pan, and Amy with her red and gold Piko Piko Hammer, as they charged the Koopalings. Junior and Ludwig sat up after being knocked aside and looked at the battle unfolding.

"Brother, get your new mech. I'll assemble the minions," Ludwig ordered.

"Okay!" Bowser Jr. said while he ran to get his new mech.

Suddenly, thousands of Bowser's minions mixed in with some Egg Pawns swarmed in for the fight. Luckily, Peach and Amy smashed all the Goombas and Koopas that came their direction. Cream also held up her own by using Cheese to attack them. The little Chao, despite his size, was able to fend them all off. Just as the battle turned in their favor, they heard giant stomping in the distance. Junior and Ludwig stood in a giant robot with big hammers for arms.

"How do you like these mushrooms?!" Junior shouted, "Meet Mr. Hammer MK 2!"

Peach and Amy tried using their weapons to whack the robot's feet, while Silver threw minions and other objects at it, but there was just no stopping the giant robot! Just as Peach was about to get smashed, a shadow from the sky swooped down and cracked the robot's glass head.

"What the…" Junior started, but he was interrupted by a large explosion that rocked the mech. A robot on one of the buildings shot a large rocket at the mech and made it fall over. Then, Shadow appeared and released multiple Chaos Spears that tore the robot apart.

"Let's get outta here!" Ludwig screamed.

As the 8 Koopalings made their escape, Shadow and his two helpers stepped towards Peach, Amy, and Cream. The robot was red and black and looked very powerful. On his shoulders were the Greek letter Omega.

The other one had white-fur and large ears coming out of her head. She wore a black and pink cat suit with white boots and had leathery wings protruding from her back.

"Thanks for the save, Shadow." Amy said.

"ALL EGGMAN'S ROBOTS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED. STRANGE TURTLES WORKING WITH ROBOTS HAVE ESCAPED," the robot said in its metallic voice.

"Calm down, Omega," the girl said, "We'll catch them eventually." She looked over at Peach. "So, this must be the human you told us about, Shadow."

"One of the humans, that is, Rouge," Shadow stated. "Where's Sonic, then? Shouldn't he be here?"

"We split up to find the emeralds," Amy said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Peach, this is Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega. They are friends of ours."

"INTRODUCTIONS IRRELEVANT. SEARCH FOR REMAINING EGGMAN'S ROBOTS MUST CONTINUE."

"You're way too serious, Omega," Rouge stated.

"Enough, both of you!" Shadow warned. He turned to Silver who was standing near them smashing an Egg Pawn back and forth. "Silver, what are you doing here?"

"I saw some of Egghead's robots and came to help out," Silver stated.

"Seeing from the carnage, you mopped the floor with those robots," Rouge said intrigued by Silver's fighting skill.

"Well, thank you, everyone," Amy said, "We should probably get back to Sonic right now."

"It was nice meeting everyone!" Peach said as she and Amy ran towards Station Square.

"Good luck, Amy!" Cream shouted.


Notes: Wow. I realized this chapter was so big, that I decided to split it into 2 parts. Geez. Anywho, one derp move I made while making this is the fact that I MADE STORM MUTE! God, past me was an idiot! I realized later that Storm actually talked in the games, but I expected him to be the mute strong guy. Whatevs. Also, I find it epic how Silver pops in to save the day when the Koopalings attack. Silver is a cool character and his theme song is one of my favorite Sonic tracks.

Interesting thing about Rouge the Bat. Originally, when I figured out that Rouge was working for GUN after playing Adventure 2, I was really confused on why a human corporation would hire a bat, and then I wondered "What if Rouge was a human turned into a bat?". That was basically how I created my 2 primary OCs, Fang and Scarlett.
