New World Saga Episode 5: Chaos Emerald Chaos
One morning in Rachel's home, Sonic, Eve, and the others are explaining Rachel more about their lives as Freedom Fighters. One of the information that catches Rachel's attention is about the Chaos Emeralds and their powers.
"So you're saying these 'Chaos Emeralds' have astonishing powers, and both Sonic and Eve have used the powers to take on a powerful form to defeat an evil sorcerer," Rachel says.
"That 's about sums it up," Eve says.
"It's amazing. I never heard of these Chaos Emeralds before," Rachel says.
"You've never heard of the Chaos Emeralds? Boy, you really do have a lot to learn, don't ya!" Tails replies.
Then Amy says, "Each Chaos Emerald is filled with a magical power. So you could imagine what would happen if you found all seven of ' em."
"And you say that this Dr. Eggman has tried to collect them before," Rachel replies.
"That's right," Sonic says.
Rachel thinks, and says, " Since you found one here, it's possible that there must be more round here. However, it might be unlikely.
"Why is that?" Manic asks.
"Well, if what you said is true, then all the Chaos Emeralds have disappeared," Rachel says.
"That doesn't mean they're gone for good! Anytime the seven Chaos Emeralds come together in one place, they scatter and disappear all over again!" Sonic says.
"And since we found one here, more of them must be around here," Eve says.
"That's right!" Sonic says.
"We manage to find one here and we need to find six more. If they are at Station Square it's good, but it might be a problem if they're somewhere else," Sonia replies.
"Don't worry, with all of us working together we can find them. We found them all before and we can find them again," Sally says.
"She's right. We'll just have to find them all over again and stop Eggman from getting to them first," Eve says.
Rachel says, "And I'll help you out. Since I'm part of the police, I can help in case there's signs of trouble."
"Thank you Rachel," Sally says.
"We'll find those Chaos Emeralds in no time," Rachel says.
"Yeah! No worries," Sonic replies.
Meanwhile, at a construction site, the workers are constructing a building and are digging the dirt out of the way. Unknown to the man with a digger, a green diamond shaped gem fell out and into the dirt. The gem is a bright green color and similar to one of the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic, Eve and their friends are looking for.
Around the same time in a private jet, the president of the country Station Square is on hearing the news about the Mobians and Dr. Eggman along with other government officials.
Thepresident asks, "Then, where are they?"
His adviser says, "It seems that the hedgehogs and his friends are staying with a fellow Police Officer in Station Square, and our agents have traced Eggman to an island somewhere in the Southern Sea."
"Well, get going! I want them captured!" The president says.
But his adviser says, "With all the respect, it might be best to keep them under surveillance so we can observe their behavior."
The president sternly says, "Grr, that's all well and good but you'd better pay special attention to that dangerous Eggman character!"
"We've already sent out a reconnaissance team, Mr. President. We'll be sure to report back any suspicious activity," The adviser says.
At Eggman's island across the seat, the spies have their boat docked, and signal the one across the sea in the middle of the night.
"Any word on the Mobians?" The president asks.
"We've had our operatives watching them too, sir. We also have one of Station Square's officers who is reporting back to G.U.N. Commander. We'll also sending in one of our undercover agents to get information on her. If there's any unusual activity, we'll know about it," the adviser says.
"Who is this officer?" The president asks.
"Officer Rachel Tower," The adviser says.
"Rachel Tower. Isn't she the granddaughter of Commander Tower, the head of G.U.N of the United Federation?" The president asks in interest.
"The very same. We confirmed it with Commander Tower and he said she gave him reports about them and who Dr. Eggman is. We will still have our agent keeping an eye on them," The Adviser says.
"I see. Just be sure to keep an eye on them, especially Eggman," The president says.
At Station Square Police Station, Rachel has arrived to work and is doing some paperwork. To Rachel doing a lot of paperwork is important,but it's not as much helpful as going out catching criminals, solving crimes, and helping people in need.
Just then, the police chief says, "Officer Tower, I like to speak to you."
"Of course, chief," Rachel says.
She gets up from her desk and walks into the chief office. When they walk inside, Rachel looks to see a man in the room. The man is wearing a police uniform. He has purple color hair with gray eyes. He is also wearing sunglasses.
"Hello, who might you be? Rachel asks.
He removes his sunglasses, and says, "Hello. I'm Officer Ramond Bear. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Now Officer Tower, I will need you to show Officer Bear the ropes. I'll be checking on the other officers," The chief says.
Once the chief leaves, the two officers are alone.
"So Ramond, are you new here? I never saw you in Station Square," Rachel asks.
"Yes. I'm from Westopolis Police Department. So Officer Tower," Ramond says.
Rachel blushes, "Oh, you can call me Rachel."
"Okay Rachel, how are things around here? I heard you had a bit of trouble with a mad man," Ramond asks.
"You could say that. He's a mad scientist who has been causing all sorts of trouble it appears. He just caused a major mess just a week ago," Rachel says.
"I see. Well, if we ran into him, I'll be sure to take him and his robots on," Ramond says.
"Thanks," Rachel says.
Ramond asks, "So Rachel, what's your favorite animal?"
"Hmm, I would have to say I have a few favorite animals, Hedgehogs, dogs, and rabbits," Rachel says.
"Sounds nice," Ramond says. Then shows a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, at the construction yard. The man is controlling the digger to dig more dirt and putting them in the truck. But when the end of the digger touches the gem, it begins to glow. What's more green energy begins to surround the machine and the controls begin to act on it's own.
"What's happening?!" The worker panics.
Suddenly, the machine begins to move"
"Help! Somebody help me! I'm losing control!" The man screams.
The machine continues to move as the control malfunction and the worker is trying to stop it. The machine uses it digger to push the truck over. Luckily, everyone is able to get out of the way. Then the worker begin to roll on a pile of logs. Then begins to move around the place and chasing the workers.
The worker screams, "Ahh! I can't stop this thing!"
Just then, the digger then digs to the ground, but it lifts the machine off the ground, enough for the worker to get out before it falls to the side.
Another worker hurries over, and asks, "Hey! Are you alright?!"
"I... don't know. All of a sudden, that thing has a mind of its own," The worker in charge of the malfunctioned machine says.
The workers look at the hole the machine is digging to see the gem at the location. Unknown to the workers, this gem is known as a Chaos Emerald and full of incredible power. At the same time, the machine has come to a complete stop.
At the police office, Rachel continues to do some paperwork. Her new partner Ramond is placed next to Rachel.
"Makes you wish you're part of the action," Ramond replies.
"Yes. I know paperwork is important, but it can get boring sometimes," Rachel says.
Just then, the chief says, "Alright, I need a few officers to come with me to the construction site. Tower, Bear, Kyle, and Stone, you all are with me."
Rachel asks, "I wonder what's wrong?"
Back at Rachel's home, Eve, Sally, Sonia, and Amy are watching listening to the news as they play a board game.
On the tv. A news woman says, "An unusual gemstone was discovered today at a department store construction site. Eye-witnesses at the site report that construction machinery seemed to malfunction whenever it gained within close contact of this strange jewel. The stone does appear to be radiating an invisible, highly-charged energy. Now some of you watching at home, may be experiencing static. This is a direct result of the gem's magnetic power.
Curious, the girls turn their heads to see the television.
On the tv, the news girl shows the picture of the green gem in the dirt, "This is an artist's rendering."
The girls gasp in shock.
"I don't believe it," Sally says.
"We've gotta tell Sonic!" Eve says, and quickly turns to where Sonic is.
In the backyard, Sonic is laying on a tree branch of the tree.
Sonic stretches his arms, "Pretty good nap, I needed that!"
Suddenly, he hears Amy screams, "Sonic, you won't believe it."
"What's up?" Sonic asks.
He looks to see Eve and Amy down below.
"It's the Chaos Emerald. They found one!" Eve answers.
At Eggman's lair, he is seeing the news report too.
The news woman continues, "Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation of the surrounding area to determine the possible source of the gem. SSTV will continue to keep you posted with further updates. This is Scarlet Garcia reporting live from the site for SSTV news."
Eggman laughs, "Well, what do you know?! A Chaos Emerald right under my nose!"
Just then, Decoe says, "Doctor."
"Yes, Decoe," Eggman says, turning his head.
Decoe presents a tray that has his cards, "Your cards."
Eggman takes the card and looks at it, "Hmm, let's see. Ah, which one? Hmm, I can't choose.
Eggman places the cards in his selection machine and pulls the switch. The machine then chooses a purple and orange robot with a sharpe orange beak.
"Beacon! Ah HA HA!" Eggman laughs.
The robot known as Beacok prepares to take off as well as Eggman in his Eggmobile. Soon, both the robot and Eggman take to the sky.
On the island, the spy sees Eggman and alert the other, "Enemy aircraft spotted!"
"Roger," An officer says on the radio.
Eggman continues to make his way to the city with his robot.
"Once I get my hands on that Chaos Emerald, I'll create an even more powerful robot and getting rid of those pesky hedgehogs will be a breeze!" Eggman says to himself.
At Rachel's home. Tails, Amy, and Bunnie, and Antoine are taking the X Tornado while the rest remain behind. Sonic and Eve are already on the search for the emeralds.
"Be careful! Don't get hurt Tails!" Sally says.
"Don't worry, Sally. We'll be okay!" Tails says.
"I hope Sonic and Eve know where they're going. If they get lost, we won't know where to look for them," Amy says.
But Tails says, "Don't worry about them, if anyone can find the Chaos Emerald, they can."
Tails then flies off with the Tornado, as Sally calls out, "Good luck, and be sure to keep your eyes out for Sonic and Eve!"
Soon the X Tornado is gone and with Tails and the others.
Sally worriedly says, "I certainly hope they can find that Emerald."
Down in the streets of Station Square, Sonic is looking at one end of the city. He bounces from one building to another. Then runs on the street.
Sonic says to himself, "The place is around here somewhere. Bet I can see it easier with a bird's eye-view!"
He then jumps in the air and grabs to a pole. He then climbs up until he's on top of the pole to see atop view of the city.
"I'll just chill out up here and wait for Tails and the others!" Sonic says to himself.
Eve then lands on the same pole, "Find it."
"Nope," Sonic says.
Meanwhile, Eggman and his robot, Beacon, are flying over the ocean to get to Station Square. E plans to go to the construction building and retrieved the handle. SOn the monitor, Eggman notices something is following him.
"Hmm? Well I do believe that someone is following me," Eggman says to himself.
He turns his head to see missiles coming at him and his machine.
Eggman laughs, and says, "This could be fun! What do you say, Beacon? Let's sink the vinks!"
Beacon begins to fly in the air as the missiles give chase. It flies down and flies over the ocean.
"How do you like then-amples? You foolish flyboys thought you could pull one over on the good doctor didn't you?! Well I guess the bad doctor proved you wrong!" Eggman says to himself, seeing the plane works.
Then he and his robot continue to fly to Station Square to get the Chaos Emerald.
Meanwhile, the police cars are driving through the streets to get to the construction site. Rachel and Ramond are in one of the cars.
Rachel looks at the news on the video screen of her car to see the news report. She and Ramond also see the drawing of the gem that is at the construction site.
"That is some gem isn't it?" Ramond asks.
"Yes. It sure is. It looks like an emerald," Rachel says.
But Rachel says in thought, "But with the strange powers the news described, that gem must be the Chaos Emerald Sonic and the others are looking for. I need to get it before someone else does, especially Eggman."
Rachel continues to drive her police carto the construction site. Unknown to her, Ramond is planning to keep a special eye on Rachel.
On the top of the pole, Sonic and Eve are waiting for the others to arrive. Just then, the X Tornado appears on the scene in the sky.
"It's about time! You think they can fly that thing a little faster?!" Sonic asks.
"Well, we're much faster than Tails' planes," Eve replies.
"Hey Sonic, it's over there!" Amy calls out from the plane.
"Chaos Emerald, here I come!" Sonic says. He jumps down from the pole and over the building.
Eve does the same as she shouts, "Hey Sonic, wait for me!"
At the construction grounds. The police has the ground on guard and prevent people from entering. Rachel is among them. However, she knows that Sonic and her friends need the emerald.
Sitting in the news truck, Scarlet along with another male reporter and cameraman.
The news reporter says, "Wow, pretty freaky, huh?"
"Yeah, you said it! First those Mobians comes out of nowhere, now this magnetic emerald!" The cameraman says.
Suddenly, the cameraman notices something in the sky, "Hey!"
"Oh!" Scarlet replies, seeing something's up
The other reporter asks, "What's the matter?!"
"Look, up there!" The cameraman answers.
Scarlet asks, "What's that?"
Everyone turns around to see something coming at them. It even catch the police's attention. The cameraman uses his video camera to see Dr. Eggman and his robots are coming this way.
The cameraman says, "Woah, hey, it looks like that Dr. Eggman guy!"
Everyone gasp in shock to see Dr. Eggman and his robot coming this way. At the same time, Sonic and Eve run closer to the construction site to see people fleeing the scene."
"What's going on here?!" Sonic asks.
Eve turns her head, "Take a wild guess."
Sonic turns his head to where Eve is to see Eggman and his robot.
"So, Dr. Egghead thinks he can nab that Chaos Emerald before me!" Sonic says.
Sonic and Eve begin to run on the building to attack the robot Eggman has. At the same time, Eggman is flying to the construction site to see Sonic and Eve heading their way.
"Heh, we're closing in!" Eggman says to himself.
He turns his head to see the hedgehogs heading their way.
"It's those blasted hedgehogs! Change of plans, we'll come back for our little treasure later on. First, we'll get rid of those meddling hedgehogs!" Eggman says.
Beacon flies towards the hedgehogs as they charges at him. Sonic and Eve jump in the air, but the robot rams them. Then they attack again. And again. Soon, the bird robot is bouncing them like beach balls.
Eve screams, "I'm not liking this!"
At the same time, Tails and the others are flying in the X Tornado.
Tails shouts, "Quick, Amy!"
"Look, guys! The rings, I'll throw it to you! Catch!" Amy calls out, holding two power rings.
Sadly, they both miss and they all begin to fall to the ground.
"Not good…" Tails says.
"Oh, no! We're too far away! Hey, what if we try to get closer?" Amy asks.
"It won't be easy, but I can try!" Tails says.
Amy happily says, "Right, let's do it!"
Seeing the event, Eggman laughs, "Now that our speedy little friend is out of the way, let's get back to our original plan, shall we?"
Eggman then flies the eggmobile to the construction site and removes the cloth. Soon, he begins to dig with his bare hands until he sees the green Chaos Emerald. He grins in satisfaction to see it. But before he can grab it someone else has it.
Eggman demands in rage, "UGGH! GIVE THAT BACK TO ME!"
"Not a chance Eggman," The person reveals to be Rachel Tower.
Eggman sterly says, "I remember you, you were with those annoying hedgehogs."
"Yes. They told me all about you and about the emeralds," Rachel says.
She then says, "Now you leave before I call reinforcements."
"Alright," Eggman says. Then begins to walk away.
Rachel then walks in the opposite direction. Just then,Eggman secretly sneaks to her and taps her on the shoulder. She turns her head, but Eggman snatches the emerald from her.
"Hey! That belongs to Sonic and the others," Rachel says, quickly turning her head.
"Sorry. Not anymore. Besides, my dear, you hardly know what to do with such a thing!" Eggman says, laughing.
"But I found it!" Rachel says
Eggman then begins to make his way in his hovercraft, but Rachel fight him to retrieve the emerald back. As Eggman begins to fly away, Rachel grabs the end of the hovercraft and is being carried away. Rachel screams as she is carried higher and higher.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Eve are still being pecked by the robot bird.
"HEY! Knock it off!" Sonic screams.
"Cut it out you stupied bird!" Eve angrily says.
Suddenly, they hear Amy calls out, "Sonic!"
"Eve!" Sally's voice comes after.
Sonic and Eve look to see Sally and Eve holding the Power Rings. At pure luck, Sonic and Eve are able to get the power rings and use their power. Sonic and Eve join together for a power charge and rams right through Beacon, and the robot explodes. They both land on the ground as the robot is destroyed.
Suddenly, they hear Rachel's voice screaming, "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!"
Sonic and Eve look to see Eggman in his hovercraft with Rachel inside.
"It's Rachel!" Sonic says.
Eve adds, "She's in trouble!"
Then the two hedgehogs chase after Rachel and Eggman. Tails and the others come after her.
"We're coming, Rachel!" Amy shouts.
Then Tails says, "Rachel, hold on!
In the covercraft, Eggman looks at the emerald and smirks to have the prize. Rachel manages to grab on the wing of the hovercraft and tries to climb up, but Eggman begins to move the remove to move the hovercraft to make Rachel let go. Rachel is about to fall until she grabs one of Eggman's mustaches.
Rachel holds on as she screams, ""I won't let go! Give me back that emerald!"
Eggman and Rachel begins to fight as the hovercraft moves around
"You crummy little beast, let go of my moustache!" Eggman screams trying to get Rachel to let go.
Finally, he makes Rachel let go, and the officer begins to fall with the Chaos Emerald in her hand.
"That catabolic brat certainly was a handful!" Eggman says, brushing his mustache,
But realizes, "ARRGH, my emerald!"
Rachel continues to fall and heading straight to the street. At the same time, Ramond sees the emerald and where Rachel is falling.
"I'll save her!" Ramond says in thought.
Ramond drives the car in order to save Rachel. Just then, Sonic and Eve super speed and rescue Rachel. Then they run off with her and the emerald.
Ramond stops the car and says, "Well, it's good to know that someone else is looking out for her. Speaking of which, I better get back to work."
After securing the emerald and saving Rachel, Sonic and Eve have taken her back home. Tails rides the X Tornado with the others back home. Soon everyone talk about the crazy day they have. Then again, everyday is never a dull moment with the Freedom Fighters around.
Rachel is holding the Green Chaos Emerald she has secured from Eggman while Eve is holding the blue one from before.
"Now that we have two Chaos Emeralds, we only need to find five more," Eve says.
"That's right cuz," Manic says.
"Still, Dr. Eggman is not going to make this easy for us. Plus, we need to put them somewhere safe. I don't need them causing any affect on my appliances," Rachel says.
"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll fix it," Tails says.
Rachel smiles, "Thank you Tails, it's a deal."
"Okay," Tails says with a smile.
Sally asks, "Rachel, are you going to be alright?"
"I think so. I've handled stuff almost as bad as this," Rachel says.
Sonic gives her a thumbs up, "I like your spirit."
"Glad you think so. A lot of people have trouble handling my spirit and my stubborn attitude," Rachel says.
Everyon giggles with a smile on their face.
Then Rachel says, "I also kind of feel embarrassed."
"How come?" Bunnie asks.
"I almost let Eggman got away with the emerald and fell for a silly trick so easily," Rachel says.
"Yeah, but you got it back," Eve says.
"I guess you're right," Rachel says.
"We just need to find the others and we can stop Eggman," Sonic says.
Rachel smiles, "Right. As long as we all work together."
