Episode 26: Map of Mayhem
On a very foggy morning, a G.U.N ship is traveling across the sea.
Just then, a woman's voice says, "Headquarters, this is the Seahawk. We're running through heavy fog. Visibility is near zero. Come in, Headquarters. Do you read me?"
Then someone says, "You're breaking up, Seahawk. Please repeat!"
In the control room of the ship, Commander Tower is standing in front to see the fog. Leon, Molly, and Topaz among the people in the control room.
Leon , "I don't know where all this interference is coming from, sir, unless there's somebody out there jamming our signals."
Just then, Molly notices something on the sonar equipment, "What's that?"
"You spot something?" Commander Tower asks.
Topaz says, "We're picking up a large object heading straight for us, sir!"
"What is it, a ship?" Commander Tower
The ship's captain holds a binocular as he says, "I don't think so."
Everyone looks out the window to see a strange pair of lights coming straight towards them.
Commander Tower says, "Sound the alarm."
Doing as the captain told, the alarm goes off on the stop.
Topaz reports on the radio, "Headquarters, this is the Seahawk calling! Over!"
"Go ahead, Seahawk," An officer says on the other line
The vessel moves away from the strange light. Suddenly, they notice a different light glowing under the water. The light glows bright and large from under. Under the water is a strange ship of some kind.
Seeing something on the monitor, Topaz reports on the report, "We've encountered an unknown vessel and we're under attack!"
Suddenly, a bright light shines catching Rouge's attention.
Over the radio, the officer asks, "Seahawk, what's going on? Over."
In the Intelligence Agency, the officers are hearing something wrong.
"Turn us around, before *krrt* too late! Hurry!" Topaz reports from the radio, but it seems to be cutting off.
The officer asks, "Seahawk, what in blazes is happening out there?"
Suddenly, they begin to hear panicking over the radio.
Topaz calls out from the radio, "...Mayday! May-" but gets cut off and the red indicator turns off.
"Seahawk, do you read me?" The offer calls out.
Then tries again, "... Seahawk, come in!..."
The officer continues to call out, "Seahawk!... Seahawk!... Seahawk!
Meanwhile, the ship has suddenly disappeared in the fog and the only thing is there is the life preserver that has the name of the ship.
In Rachel's house, Sonic, Eve, and the others are watching the news about the Seahawk Ship's disappearance. Scarlet Garcia is on the air for this morning's story about the ship's disappearance.
She announces, "Naval authorities report that the research vessel Seahawk is missing at sea. Rescue teams are combing the area for its last known position. So far, there are no signs of the vessel. These pictures were taken two days ago when it left on its mission."
Tails, Emerl, Cream, and Cheese are playing Jenga. Eve is reading a book to Jazz and Shun. Sonic, Sally, Rachel, Ramond, and Nicole are watching the news.
The news continues, "Details of that mission are being kept secret, but sources tell SSTV that everything seemed to be going well until early this morning when the crew radioed to report heavy fog."
"See? That's why I can't stand water," Sonic says.
"You like it if it's in a glass. That's a start,"
Sonic sweats bullets and shrugs his shoulders, causing Cream, Cheese and Tails to smile.
"Maybe the ship hit something after it went into the fog," Eve suggests.
"Chao," Jazz replies.
But Ramond says, A ship like that has instruments that let it navigate through fog safely. There may be something else going on here.
"What do you mean, Ramond?" Cream asks.
"What if the Seahawks disappearance wasn't an accident? Other vessels have encountered strange phenomena in that area. Perhaps we should take a boat and have a look…" Ramond says.
Cream asks "Does that mean you're going out on the ocean?"
"Yes, that's possible," Ramond says.
Eve becomes concerned, "I'm worried. Do you think we'll find any survivors?"
"Of course we will sis. You know we always do when we're on the job," Sonic says.
Eve smiles, "Right."
"Chao Chao," Jazz replies.
Meanwhile, the President, Jerome, Christina, the adviser, and Team Dark are listening to the last message on a recorder.
They hear Toapz's voice, "...Mayday! May-"
"Our rescue teams searched the entire area, but haven't found a single sign of the Seahawk or or its crew. How could a ship of that size disappear without leaving a trace?" The president says.
Rouge then says, "Well, what if somebody made the ship disappear? If a ship was planning to steal a ship, he'd make sure not to leave any evidence behind that can clue in the cops. Maybe we have a robbery on our hands."
"I hope you're wrong, Rouge. That ship is packed with top-secret communications equipment that can easily tap into data from all our military satellites," The Third Aid says.
"What's your point?" The president asks.
The President's Third Aide says, "Mr. President, if some maniac were to capture that ship, he'd have access to all the data in our defense network, and he could easily bring the entire country to it's knees!"
"Hm. I think I smell a rotten egg," Rouge says, turning her eyes.
"Eggman," The president says in concern.
Then says, "I hate to say it, but you may be right, Rouge. This is just the insane plot he'd come up with."
"And it will be our job to stop him, right Shadow?" Rouge replies, turning to Shadow.
Shadow looks out the window and remembers that Molly is one of the people in that ship. He may not look at it, but Shadow is very concerned.
Meanwhile, Dr. Eggman is busily typing on a keypad as Decoe and Bocoe are sitting behind him.
"Computers make evil so easy!" Eggman says, and laughs.
"You have been hunched over that keyboard for hours, Doctor. It is bad for your posture," Decoe says.
Then Bocoe says, At least try to sit up straight when you type. Otherwise, you may hurt yourself."
Annoyed, Eggman says, "I already have a big pain in the neck: you!"
Eggman then presses the button and pulls out an article.
"Researchers discovered world's oldest map. Renowned archaeologist Dr. Cadberry studying the ancient document at Pukapito Palace," Eggman reads.
Eggman grins and says, "Mm... Let's drop by."
Later in the night, a large castle where there are red roofs with large greenery around the area. That is Pukapito Palace. Inside, a man wearing a burgundy suit with black shirt, light tan skin and light tan hair walks into the room. He's known as Dr. Cadberry, the renowned archaeologist. He places his hand on the door and it slides open. He walks inside to see a few draws. He pulls open the draw to see the map.
Dr. Cadberry takes it out, and says, "This map proves my theory. I can announce that the world's oldest mystery has finally been solved."
Just then, a pair of sarcophagus open to reveal Decoe and Bocoe wrapped in bandages and the covers fall off.
"Are you ready?" Decoe whispers.
Bocoe answers, "For the first time, I feel totally wrapped up in my work."
They both walk out of the cases and act like mummys as they approach the doctors.
Dr. Cadberry turns around and says, shocked, "Huh? What the...?"
Bocoe groans, ""Silence…"
"Grave robber, give us our map!" Decoe adds.
Dr. Cadberry cower in fear to see two mummies coming toward him.
The next moment, Bocoe and Decoe run out of the palace and stop at the front.
"Mission accomplished!" Bocoe says.
"We get the mummyload this time! Now we must book back to the base!" Decoe adds.
With that, they both ditch the costumes and hurry to Dr. Eggman's lair. Wherever it is.
In the palace, Dr. Cadberry has pressed the button to activate the alarm, but soon collapsed on the ground.
In Eggman's ship, Bocoe and Decoe are back and given Eggman the map.
"Good work. You deserve raises... if I start paying you," Eggman says.
Eggman turns his table to see the map with laughter, and says, "Now let's check this out."
Eggman tosses the map away and types on the keyboard. Then the screen shows the map of the ancient map
"Oh?" Decoe says confused.
Bocoe asks, "Where is that?"
"It's this world as it looked ages ago, and the computer can take us further into the past," Eggman says.
On the map, it changes to how the world of Mobius is in the present compared to the map thousands of years ago.
"Wow," Both the robots say, impressed.
Decoe says, "That is cool!"
"Can you visit chat rooms?" Bocoe asks.
"Can it, you clods," Eggman says.
Then questions, "Now where could it be?"
At last the map shows a particular spot something up north.
"Now I have exactly the information I've been looking for!" Eggman says.
He turns to see his robots and announces, "The geographic location of Murasia!"
Eggman then turns back to the map and raises his fist in the air.
"What is Murasia?" Bocoe asks.
Decoe replies, "I don't know, but it sounds contagious."
"My dream of building an Eggman Empire is alive and well. Thanks to the map, the people of this planet will finally be forced to acknowledge that I rule, "Eggman says, typing on his computer and cackles.
The next day, a car drives over to Rachel's house. Someone approaches the door and rings the doorbell.
Rachel opens the door and says, "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes. I could use your help, along with the Freedom Fighters who are here," the man says.
Sometime later, Sally types into Nicole's computer as Sonic, Eve and the other Freedom Fighters are there as well, Knuckles and Julie-Su are also at the house to visit them.
"I was at the palace doing some research when those two thugs attacked me and ran away with the map," Dr. Cadberry says.
"It's not a total loss, though. At least you have a digital copy," Sally says, typing on Nicole's pad.
Nicole then brings out a holographic map.
"Interesting. Why were you studying it?" Julie-Su asks.
"Are you familiar with the legend of Murasia? Dr. Cadberry questions.
"Is it a place?" Sonic asks.
Dr. Cadberry nods his head and says, "Murasia is a continent that sank into the sea. It was the home of a spectacular civilization that flourished and died long ago. According to the legend, the Murasians possessed a highly-advanced culture that accomplished spectacular feats of engineering. However, in spite of all its amazing achievements, the magnificent Murasian civilization was wiped out in an instant.
Knuckles says, "If the legends are even partly true, then the ruins of that civilization could hold priceless secrets."
Rotor places his hand on his chin and says, "First the Seahawk is lost, and then this map is stolen. I have a feeling there's some kind of connection, but I'm not sure what it could be."
"The Seahawk was searching for Murasia. It was using this map as a guide. You see, the map reveals the continents of our world as they were in the distant past," Dr. Caberry says.
Sally passes Dr. Caberry the computer pad and types the keypads, "Here, I'll show you. Now, when we adjust the data…"
He then shows the time of when Mobius form in the present period.
...it reveals how our world appeared prior to the volcanic eruption that destroyed Murasia," Dr. Caberry says.
Then a small island flashes on the screen.
"You see there? One piece is missing, just like in a jigsaw puzzle. It's the final clue we need to find the lost continent," Dr. Caberry says.
"I see it now. That is where Murasia was located," Eve says.
"Exactly," Mr. Caberry says.
Then the map moves Murasia down to a different location.
"Further analysis reveals that a piece of the continent survived the disaster, a tiny island that exists to this day. And that's exactly where the Seahawk disappeared," Dr. Caberry says.
Another day gone by, the group is at the docks. The Freedom Fighters, Knuckles Julie-Su, Ramond, Rachel, and Dr. Cadberry are on the boat. On the boat, they have the X Tornado and the Blue Tornado. Soon, the ship takes off to go where the Seahawk disappeared. Everyone enjoys seeing the ocean blue and having fun on the deck. A day has gone by and it's the evening.
In the room, Sonic, Eve, Sally, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Ramond, Rachel, and Mr. Cadberry are looking at the map with the captain.
"Getting there won't be easy," Sally says.
"That island is really just the top of a huge volcano. There's a whole chain of volcanoes underwater here, making this one of the most unstable regions in the whole world," Dr. Cadberry says.
"This whole story seems wacky to me," Sonic says.
"The doctor knows what he's talkin' about," Knuckles says.
Then begins to tease Sonic, "You're just getting nervous because you're surrounded by H2O."
"Water doesn't scare me anymore!... I just don't like gettin' wet," Sonic says.
Eve rolls her eyes, "Oh brother."
The next day, the boat is sailing close to a small island that has a giant volcano on it. Everyone is on the deck to see the island.
"Well, there it is, guys," Amy says.
Sonic quickly says, "Let's go ashore now so we can get off this tub."
"You're not in charge here, Sonic," Knuckles says.
"Yeah. Quit being a chicken," Manic says.
Suddenly, everyone begins to notice something and hurry to the front of the deck
Dr. Cadberry notices, "Look there!"
Up ahead, they see the water bubbling from the water and it appears to be coming closer towards them. Just then, something begins to rise from under the water and begins to rock the boat. At the back of the boat, the X Tornado falls over and one of the legs broken off.
Tails turns around, "Aah! The X-Tornado!"
Suddenly, a large ship of some kind begins to rise to the surface. The ship is a gold, black, red, and purple color and it has Eggman's symbol at the front.
"That ship belongs to Eggman!" Amy says.
Suddenly, Bokkun comes flying over with a TV in his hand.
He lands on the bow of the ship, and says, "Cap'n Eggman has an important maritime message for ya!"
"Oh, this is going to be good," Sonia sarcastically says, rolling her eyes.
Just then, the TV turns on revealing Eggman's nose and steam comes out of it.
Eggman says "Surrender to me now. My new Egg Battleship has enough firepower to take on the Navy, the Air Force, and Sonic and Eve too!"
The group is not planning on giving up.
"You stole that map from Dr. Cadberry!" Sonic says.
Eggman leans to the screen, "You think so? Now why would I do a thing like that?"
"Just because you're so despicable," Amy answers.
"That map led me here to the world's hot spot," Eggman says.
"I don't follow," Rachel says with her arms crossed.
Dr. Cadberry says, "I do. A hot spot is supposedly the weakest part of a planet's crust. If a volcano inside the hot spot erupts, all the other volcanoes in the world erupt too, but no respectable geologist believe such a bizarre theory."
Eggman flattly says, "Well, excuse me, Mr. I-Know-Everything. But whether you realize it or not, you're floating above a hot spot right now!"
Dr. Cadberry realizes, "Now I see what you're getting at. The legends are vague, but it's possible that the Murasians somehow caused the deadly volcanic eruptions."
"Didn't any Murasians survive?" Rotor asks.
"It's likely the Murasians were all wiped out. There's no trace of them in the archaeological record after the volcano erupted," Dr. Cadberry answers.
Eggman angrily says, "I don't have time to listen to you academic airheads discuss a bunch of scholarly mumbo-jumbo, thank you! The Murasians cracked open that hotspot once and sank a continent! Now I'm going to blast it open and cause a worldwide catastrophe! And on the ruins that remain, I'll build the Eggman Empire!"
Then the TV turns off.
"Oh yeah!" Sonic says, and jumps off the boat.
Sonic then begins to spin dash for an attack on Eggman's vessel.
"Please," Eggman says, annoyed and presses a button.
The button activates a shield that causes Sonic to bounce off and dashes into the ocean.
"Sonic!" Eve panics.
Eve passes Shun to Galaxina, "Gold Shune.
Galaxina takes Shun, and Eve dives into the water.
Eve comes out of the water and swims as fast as she can until she catches Sonic in her arms.
Amy runs on deck with the life preserver, "Eve! Sonic! Catch!"
Amy tosses the life preserver into the water and Eve catches it.
"Thanks," Eve says.
Just then, something fires and strikes the water.
"Fire! Fire!" Eggman cheers.
Eggman and his robots continue to fire from his ship. Eve holds on to the life preserver as the water continues to rock both her and Sonic.
Meanwhile, Rotor, Tails, Manic, and Sally are making repairs to the X Tornado. Amy Sonia, and Bunnie stand on it with concern.
Amy panics, "They're in danger! Can't you fix this thing faster?"
"We're trying, Amy! We need a little more time!" Tails says.
Another rock from the boat cause by the explosion cause the others to jump. In the water, Sonic and Eve are holding the life preserver.
"It's hard to swim! The waves are really rough!" Eve says.
Sonic says, "We have to try!"
Meanwhile, Eggman continues to press the button and is having a lot of fun. Back on their boat, Tails, Rotor, and the others are making repairs to the X Tornado.
The navigator says, "Sir, we've spotted something on the sonar."
"Can't this wait?! I'm a little busy right now!" Rotor says, holding the communicator.
But the Navigator says, "But sir, there's another ship coming this way! It's surfacing now!"
Everyone looks from behind to wonder what is going on
"Who could that be?" Dr. Cadberry asks.
The radar shows a dot is moving closer and closer. Suddenly, a massive object rises from the sea. The ship resembles one of Eggman's old Egg Fort, but it's silver with red and gold on it. It also has a G.U.N logo on it. Just then, the ship begins to fire at Eggman, and destroy some of his firearms.
In the silver G.U.N ship, there are three or four members in yellow suits with Team Dark: Shadow, Rouge, and Omega.
One of the gunners says, "We caught him by surprise. Dr. Eggman has his defenses down. Now we can blast 'em out of the water."
"Alright!" Tails cheers.
"It's a government ship!" Rachel says.
In Eggman's Egg Battleship, Eggman is not pleased to see the ship
"Those blasted copycats salvaged my own ship from the ocean floor and now they use it to attack me!" Eggman angrily says.
"They certainly are clever," Bocoe replies.
"It just goes to the show the importance of recycling," Decoe replies.
In G.U.N's ship, the crew are ready to attack
The pilot says, "Surrender now, Eggman, or we'll destroy your ship! Prepare to fire on my order!"
"Aye-aye!" The Gunners answer.
Rouge says, "I want in on the action too."
G.U.N pilot says, "You and your team only aboard this ship as an observer, Rouge."
Then command his crew, "Lock on target!"
"If you want to play chicken, I'll be happy to clip your wings!" Eggman says, from the speaker.
He then presses the button activating his sails. Soon, the Egg Battleship begins to fly in the air revealing more firearms
"his will crash their party," Eggman says.
Soon, the Egg Battleship begins to fire at the G.U.N ship.
GUN Pilot says, "Let's get 'em, guys! Fire!"
The G.U.N's ship fires back and attacks the Egg Battleship.
"Look at them go!" Bunnie says.
"Yeah. That is totally radical," Manic says.
Meanwhile, G.U.N ship's continue to fire at Eggman. In the Egg Battleship, Bocoe and Decoe begin to panic.
They both scream, "Do something!"
"Well, what do you suggest, micromind?" Eggman angrily suggests.
Decoe stops squirming and says, "You have to put up a fight, Doctor!"
Eggman punches Decoe and screams at him, "How's that for starters, big mouth!"
The two ships are moving forward. The G.U.N ship breaks three of his oars.
"GUN Gunner says, Dr. Eggman should've surrendered when he had the chance."
Tails, Rachel, Amy, and Cosmo hope in the X Tornado.
"Everything's set for takeoff!" Tails says.
Then the Tornado flies in the air, and it's in the X Cyclone form.
Tails calls out, "Transform, X-Tornado!"
The X-Cyclone turns into the X Tornado and flies off to Dr. Eggman's ship. Soon, Eggman and his robots find themselves surrounded.
Decoe screams, "We're trapped!"
"There's still one way out," Eggman angrily says.
Eggman then presses the button to monitor something from the Egg symbol. On the monitor, it shows Commander Tower, Topaz, Leon, Molly, and the ship's crew members.
In the G.U.N ship, Team Dark and the Crew members are surprised to see them.
"It's Topaz, Leon, and Molly. They're still alive," Rouge says, relieved.
"And the Commander is alright too," The G.U.N pilot says.
Eggman laughs through the loud speaker and says, "Stay away! If you destroy my ship, your comrades will go down with me! Gahahah!"
On the X Tornado, Sonic, Eve, and Knuckles are not pleased
Knuckles shouts in rage, "Eggman, let them go!"
"Fat chance. I'm holding them hostage, just to make sure I get what I came for," Eggman says.
Then something fires at him from the back causing the ship to shake.
In the G.U.N ship, Rouge demands, "Who did that?!"
"I did," Omega answers.
Shadow and Rouge look to see he has blasted a hole out of the glass and to Eggman's ship.
"Why?!" Rouge angrily asks.
"To stop his ranting," Omega says.
Rouge sighs.
"May we remind you the Commander is trapped inside," the G.U.N pilot angrily says.
On the X Tornado, Rachel says, "Those hostages need our help."
"No sweat, Rachel! Ready for action, Sonic and Eve?" Tails replies.
Sonic gives Tails a thumbs up, "Watch me!"
Tails flies the X Tornado towards Eggman's ship, then begins to fire at the ship. Eve then uses her Chaos Energy to fly off the plane and under the ship. In the G.U.N ship, they are wondering what they're doing.
"Hey! Who side on they on?" The pilot asks.
Rouge looks out the window and says, "Our side."
Shadow and Omega look outside to notice Eve is under the ship and sneak to the side.
Shadow turns to the pilot and says, "Give us ten minutes and we'll get hostages out. Meanwhile, you distract Eggman for as long as you can."
"Alright, but ten minutes," The pilot says.
Meanwhile Eggman is not pleased with him being attacked.
"It appears they are holding their fire," Decoe says.
Eggman commands, "Now's our chance. Head for the island, quickly!"
The battleship begins to fly towards the island. The G.U.N ship flies towards the ship and fires both Shadow and Rouge from the cannons.
Seeing Rouge, Knuckles is not pleased, "Not her again!"
"She and Shadow are headin' for Eggman's ship where Eve is heading to. We have to distract him," Sonic says.
Knuckles turns his head, "Go for it, Tails!"
Tails flies and fires the X Tornado and the G.U.N ship does the same. Meanwhile, Eve is the first to reach inside first. She then turns around to see Shadow and Rouge.
"Shadow. Rouge. I didn't know you were here," Eve says with glee.
"Same with you, Eve," Shadow says.
"Save hostages first, family time later," Rouge says.
Rouge and the two hedgehogs hurry in one direction to find Topaz and the others. Meanwhile, the X Tornado and the G.U.N ship continue to fire their weapons.
Frustrated, Eggman types the controls and angrily says, "Why didn't I just become a dentist?"
The X-Tornado continues to fire the blasters at the Egg Battleship. Decoe and Bocoe jump in shock, and the controls are exposing smoke.
Eggman says, "It's time to use our heavy artillery."
"You don't mean...?" Decoe and Bocoe ask, scared.
"I'll finish them with one blast!" Eggman says, presses the controls.
Bocoe and Decoe grab Eggman and attempt to stop him.
"But you have to make the volcanoes erupt! Aren't you forgetting that you want to rule the world?" Decoe panics.
Eggman then throws Bocoe and Decoe off of him, and angrily says, "I've just changed my mind! I want revenge!"
A screen and a binocular lowers and Eggman presses the button in determination.
"He is dependable," Bocoe says, deadpanned.
"Yes; no matter what, Dr. Eggman never fails to let you down," Decoe adds.
Just then, a large cannon appears on the mast of the Egg BattleShip. The large cannon begins to aim towards the two ships. Then it begins to glow red that surrounds the area.
"What's that?" Sonic asks.
Soon, everyone begins to be bathed in the red glow.
Eggman commands, "Fire energy ray!"
Eggman's cannon begins to draw in energy and is ready to fire.
Dr. Cadberry says in concern, "There's nothing we can do."
Sonic and Knuckles jump towards the energy ball, but are soon fallen on the G.U.N ship
Decoe commands, "Surrender now, or we will fire the energy ray in ten seconds!"
Sonic and Knuckles continue to fall after being attacked.
"We don't have any time!" Knuckles says.
"We can't give up! Maybe if we attack it together!" Sonic says.
"It's worth a try!" Knuckles replies.
Sonic and Knuckles land on the G.U.N ship, and jump back up. They both grab each other's hand and begin to spin around in a circle. Soon, they both perform a powerful double spin dash. Then hit directly at the energy ball and it explode, destroying the cannon. Soon, Eggman's controls are starting to be destroyed. Knuckles glides as Sonic lands on his back. They both land on the X Tornado as it flies by.
"Alright!" Sonic and Knuckles say as they give each other a thumbs up
The Egg Battleship is starting to expose a lot of smoke as it begins to fall out of the sky and into the ocean. Inside, Eggman, Bocoe, and Decoe panic.
Decoe screams, "We are doomed!"
"Oh dear oh dear oh dear! Oh…" Eggman panics.
Just then, they all stop and realize, "We still have our hostages!"
Just then, Rouge, Eve, and Shadow are with Commander Tower, Topaz, Molly, Leon, and the ship's crew.
Topaz holds out her gun saying, "Not anymore."
Eggman, Bocoe, and Decoe are sweating bullets and turn their heads to see the hostages are free and armed.
Rouge holds out a gun, and says, "Face it, Doc. There's no way out this time."
Eggman panics, but quickly says, "Hey, where'd my Chaos Emerald go?"
Rouge looks around with a confused look, but looks back to see Eggman and his robots work. Soon the Battleship lands on the ocean. Meanwhile, Eggman, Bocoe, Decoe, and Bookun escaped on the Egg Mobile.
Eggman angrily screams as the robots scrum, "Stop pushing! Back off! I can't steer!"
Soon, Eggman and his robots fly to the island and into the volcano.
"Oh, Rouge…" Topaz says.
"Sorry…" Rouge apologizes.
Back on the boat where the Freedom Fighters are, they can see the island.
"Maybe this trip was a big mistake. Maybe we never should've come," Dr. Cadberry says.
Sally walks over, and says, "If Eggman finds the ruins of Murasia, it could be dangerous."
Yes... I'm beginning to think that Dr. Eggman was right, and that this place really is a hot spot," Dr. Cadberry says.
The X Tornado flies over the island to see where Eggman and his robots are heading to. They can see that they're in deep water now a real hot spot.
