Sonic, Merna and Tails made it back to land, turned to their Mobian selves and went to Tails' workshop to make waterproof camera's. They worked on it throughout the entire day. Eventually, upon finishing the camera's, Tails put them in cases and the trio went back to the ocean. They turned into Merbians and went back to Mertopia. They brought the camera's into the palace. Queen Diana was really curious to see how Tails' invention would work.

'So…Did you finish them?' The queen asked.

Tails smiled and nodded. 'They're all done.' He said as he showed the camera's. He then proceeded to install one in the palace living room.

'Using cables made of seaweed, a tv made out of rocks and electric eels powering the camera's and tv, Merbians will be able to watch tv.' Tails explained. 'But it's a bit too late to work on that now, so we'll continue on that tomorrow. Do you happen to have a guest room?' Tails asked.

'You can have my room. I now share one with Merna anyway.' Sonic said.

'That's nice of you, Sonic.' Tails said. 'I'll gladly take it.'

Sonic nodded. 'Well, good night, everyone!' He said as he and Merna swam to their room. Tails swam to his room as well and so did the queen. Sonic showed Tails his room and then everyone went to sleep.

The next morning, everyone was sitting at the breakfast table. Tails was making notes as he ate his breakfast.

'The Merbians' way of living is just incredible. Who would've thought they ate such delicious things?' Tails said in a rather excited voice.

Sonic nodded. 'I know, buddy. It's great.' He replied.

'Let's get back to work on the tv soon.' Merna said.

'Sure, after breakfast.' Tails said. Merna nodded.

Once breakfast was done, Sonic, Merna and Tails continued working on the tv. Once everything was done, the trio called in the Queen and some of her subjects.

'Okay, ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be blown away by the first ever Merbian TV! Merna, you can do the honors by turning it on.' Tails said as he gave Merna the tv remote. Merna nodded and she turned on the tv. Sonic controlled the camera, and pointed it at the Queen and her subjects. They were blown away.

'We're on the screen!' Queen Diana said in awe.

'That's because the camera I'm using is filming you.' Sonic chuckled.

'That's pretty amazing.' A Merrhino commented.

'I totally agree.' A Merduck replied.

'I can probably set up an entire network of these tv's around Mertopia. That's a process that requires a lot of time, though.' Tails said.

'Well, it's definitely worth it.' Queen Diana said.

'Okay. I need some more men for this, though.' Tails said.

'I know just the people.' Sonic said.

Later, on land, in the Chaotix' headquarters, Vector was listening to music as Espio was meditating. Charmy was playing with a bunch of toys. Someone knocked on the door of the office.

'Come in!' Espio said.

Sonic opened the door. Vector turned off his music.

'Hello, Sonic. How can I help you?' Vector asked.

'Listen, Tails, Merna and I are setting up a television network under the sea, and we need your help with transporting stuff and building television masts. You up for the job?' Sonic asked.

'Will we be paid?' Vector asked.

'Yes, in Merbian Coins, if that's okay with you.' Sonic said.

'Sounds good.' Vector said. 'I'm in.'

'Me too.' Espio said.

'So am I!' Charmy said, rather excited.

'Good. I brought along two magic necklaces for Vector and Charmy, because Merna told me Espio already has one.' Sonic said, holding out two magic necklaces. Vector and Charmy grabbed them.

'Follow me to the ocean.' Sonic said.

The Chaotix followed Sonic to the ocean. Sonic put on his necklace and dove into the water, gaining his tail. Espio did the same.

'Okay, now you come too!' Sonic said.

Vector and Charmy put on their necklaces and dove in too. Vector gained a white fishtail and Charmy gained a dark red fishtail. His bee wings also became webbed.

'This is pretty cool!' Vector said.

'I totally agree!' Charmy said.

'Well, follow me to Mertopia!' Sonic said. He dove under the water and swam off. Vector, Espio and Charmy followed. Vector and Charmy looked around in awe as they swam.

'Yes, it's an amazing world down here.' Espio said. 'I was amazed too when I first did this.'

'If you think this is amazing, just wait until you get to Mertopia.' Sonic said, chuckling.

Eventually, the group made it to Mertopia. Vector's eyes widened.

'This is a Merbian city?!' Vector said in disbelief.

Sonic smiled and nodded. 'Yep. This is where Merna lives with her mother, the Queen.'

'Whoa, she's a princess?!' Espio asked.

'Yep. I'm gonna be her prince one day.' Sonic said, smiling.

'I bet you would make a great prince, Sonic! I just know it!' Charmy said happily.

'Thanks, Charmy. That's nice of you to say.' Sonic said. 'Let's go to the palace.' Sonic swam off to the palace and the Chaotix followed. They entered the palace to meet Merna and the queen.

'Vector, Espio, Charmy! Nice to see you guys!' Merna said as she swam over to the Chaotix to give them a hug. Charmy blushed when Merna hugged him.

'So you're the guys that Sonic hired for the tv job?' Queen Diana asked.

'Yes. Are you the queen here?' Vector asked.

'Yes, I am.' She said.

'We're happy to help.' Vector said as he, Espio and Charmy bowed for the queen.

'Good. Let's get to work immediately.' The queen said. The Chaotix nodded and they, along with Sonic, Tails and Merna started working on the tv mast. It took a few days to complete, but eventually they did it.

'Well, is that a mast or is that a mast?' Sonic asked.

'It certainly is a mast.' Espio said.

'Yeah, all the hard work made the mast so nice!' Charmy said.

'I agree. We did our best at the mast.' Merna said.

'Yep. By the way, Sonic said we would be paid in Merbian Coins, so how much are we getting fort he job?' Vector asked.

The queen thought about it. 'How about 250 Merbian coins?' She asked.

Vector thought about it. 'Deal.' He said. He shook the queen's hand who in turn gave him a bag of Merbian Coins.

'Well, we'll be off. If you need us for anything else, come down to our headquarters at Port Sunshine.' Vector said. He, Espio and Charmy then swam back to Port Sunshine.

The queen looked at Sonic, Merna and Tails. 'So, what now?' She asked.

'I feel like resting a bit and then continuing the project.' Tails said.

'Alright. Continue when you feel like it.' The queen said.

'We'll be going with Tails to Port Sunshine. I feel like spending some more time on land.' Merna said.

Sonic nodded. 'Yeah, me too.' He said.

'Okay, see you soon.' Queen Diana said. Sonic, Tails and Merna then swam to Port Sunshine.
