Avalon, Egg Army Base

Eggman was sitting on Hood's throne, with Hood standing by his side. A.D.A.M. was in front of him.

"We gained Egg Armies in Soumerca, Artika, Midesta and the Great Blue Realm during your absence," A.D.A.M. explained. "Dimitri, who took over for you, handpicked the Egg Bosses in each region."

"I know Thunderbolt of Soumerca," Eggman said. "I assume her battle suit is Dark Legion tech?"

"No, it actually you're tech, sir," Hood said.

"Good," Eggman said. "What are the names for the others?"

"Tundra, Nephthys and Akhlut," A.D.A.M. said.

"Akhlut?" Eggman asked. "I know that name from somewhere…"

"As for your top secret plan, the Egg Fleet was scattered across Mobius!" A.D.A.M. explained. "Do you really need the whole thing?"
"Never question me!" Eggman yelled. "I want the whole thing by the end of the week!"

"But it's Friday…" Hood said. Eggman merely looked at him.

"What about stage two?" Eggman asked.

"The weapon?" A.D.A.M. asked. "I am working on it as we speak."

"One more thing I have to ask," Eggman smiled. "Where is my dear nephew, Snively?"


Sky Sanctuary, Science Lab

Knuckles was beating up Dark Legion Soldiers, while Julie was shooting them. Relic and Fixit hide, as they weren't much of fighters. Lien-Da's Egg Mobile got out drill and flew towards Knuckles.

"You deserve everything coming to you, guardian!" Lien-Da said,dashing towards Knuckles. Knuckles punched the Mobile, destroying it, sending Lien-Da towards the other end of the room.

"So do you!" Knuckles said, running towards the giant hole Dimitri made. He glided out and attached to the wall, climbing it. Julie saw this and decided to get Relic and Fixit and make a run for it. Most of the soldiers were dead or out cold. Lien-Da got up. She got a commutator on her watch.

"The guardian is climbing up the base! I want air and turret control to shoot him down! Don't worry if you kill each other or destroy the building, just as long as he's dead!" Lien-Da ordered. "As for the others in the group, they are still in the base. Fire on sight!"


Random Corridor

Julie, Relic and Fixit kept on running. They saw dead bodies of Legion and GUN soldiers. They then ran into Shadow and the others. They explained what had happened to each other.

"We need to make our way to the top to face Dimitri and help Knuckles!" Silver said.


Top of Sky Sanctuary Zone

Dimitri, still on his machine, was waiting for Knuckles. He had placed the Master Emerald down, with Dr. Aulus observing it.

"Such a powerful gem, wouldn't you say?" Aulus asked.

"The most powerful thing known to exist on Mobius!" Dimitri said. Aulus placed his hand the Emerald, making electric bolts cover his arm.

"What are you doing?" Dimitri asked.

"Merely taking over and correcting your mistakes!" Aulus laughed. "The Servants are the Seven Chaos," His body began to glow. "Chaos is Power, Enriched by my…" Suddenly, Dimitri shot him off the building, sending him failing. Knuckles finally reached the top.

"Dimitri, give back the Master Emerald!" Knuckles ordered.

"You wouldn't want," Dimitri said. "One of men had just placed a hex on it! Sure, I shot him off before he had the chance to finish it but still, it's there!" Dimitri walked up to it. Knuckles ran up behind and tore the tail of the mech off and hit the mech with it, sending Dimitri flying off. Julie caught him. Behind her was everyone else.

"Thought you may have need a hand." Julie said.

"The GUN soldiers arrested Lien-Da and a bunch of Legion soldiers." Shadow said. "However, Kragok and a few of them escaped. We saw their ships fly off."

"Good!" Knuckles said. "Let's get out of here!"


Under Sky Sanctuary

Aulus awoke. He looked at his hands. Both were still covered with bandages. So were his feet. However, when looking at his arm, the fur was white, not red! He stood up. He was now wearing a cape. He took his glasses off and used the lenses to look at his reflection. His pupils were yellow with black sclera. He had black markings on his face. He had a black and yellow diamond-shaped shaped mark on his forehead. He put his glasses back, smiling.

"I am…" he paused. "Not longer the weakling, Aulus! I am Dr. Finitevus!" He laughed. "The guardian has something that belongs to me… and will take it back, by force!"
