Sonic and crew stare up at the airship in flight.
"There has to be a way up there, but how?" Sonic wondered.
Blaze then turns over to Volvagia.
"Think you can give us a lift up there?" Blaze asks him.
"I'd be happy to help my friends" Volvagia replied as our heroes hop onto Volvagia's body as Volvagia takes flight.
Meanwhile aboard the airship...
"Strange, everything has stopped," Jet noticed.
"What do ya mean boss?" Storm asked.
"I mean, *sigh* look for yourself," Jet replied as Wave and Storm had a look around at village below them.
"Hold on, there's no fire anywhere, what happened to Volvagia?" Wave wondered.
As soon as Wave says that, she sees a fireball traveling right towards her face.
She ducks to dodge it and looked back up to see Blaze and Shadow aboard the airship with Sonic and Amy atop Volvagia's back.
"What the? How did you?" Wave questioned in shock.
"Let's just say we go way back," Blaze replies.
"Now, I tried to be civil when it came to Storm but now I think you've crossed the line too far," Blaze said as Sonic and Amy then jump onto the airship.
"I hope you guys like roasted bird soup cause that's what you guys are gonna be," Sonic said as Shadow smirked at Sonic's joke.
Sonic and Amy then take out their swords, activating their armor.
Sonic and Shadow duel with Jet, Amy takes Storm and Blaze duels with Wave.
Jet uses his sword to pole vault over their heads and attempts to slash Sonic's neck but Sonic counters with his Wind Burst which sends Jet flying in the air momentarily.
Blaze was shooting fireballs wildly at Wave as she used her magic to create a shield despite none of Blaze's fireballs hitting her.
Amy did what she did last time to Storm which was trapping him in an earth cage.
Storm managed to break through it and started trying to slash Amy.
Shadow jumps up and punches Jet to the ground of the ship causing a giant crack in it.
Blaze stops shooting fireballs as Wave turns around to see a giant line of fire behind her.
Storm slashed Amy but only made a small cut causing her to only bleed a little.
Amy then uses an earth spike to hold her ground and stop Storm where he was thanks to the spike placement.
With Storm caught off guard thanks to the earth spike, Amy summons an earth prison and traps Storm in it this time.
Shadow and Sonic use their swords together to create an X Slash to knock Jet into Wave as they hit the line of fire that Blaze made.
Sonic then uses Wind Blast which sends them flying into the earth prison causing all 3 of them to be captured.
"I guess you birds are fried," Sonic chuckles to himself.
The 4 heroes along with the earth prison with the Knights of the Sky depart the flying airship and take them to the dungeon of Rose Castle.
