Unikitty09: Just in case, Merry Christmas Sonic and Steven!

Sonic the Hedgehog and Steven the Hedgehog - Merry Christmas!

Sonic45: Hey Steven think you could spin Sonic around?

Steven the Hedgehog - If you mean as a co-op move, maybe.

Sonic45: Once we enter the Shadow arc, What are the odd of Steven helping Sonic escape from the city?

fflyboyray - We'll have to see when we get there.

Guest: This battle is going to be tense and ugly

fflyboyray - It could be.

Panda39: I wonder if Steven found Sonic only to found him stuck on the ground?

fflyboyray - You're about to find out now.

dbehi1: Gamma! Good luck freeing your brothers from the corruption of Eggman! And here's this Sonic & Steven! I once found out that water is weak to grass, try using attacks with grass and see if Chaos gets hurt by it!

E-102 Gamma - Must find E-100 Series Robots.

Sonic the Hedgehog - Well I don't know if we'll be able to use grass since we're on the Egg Carrier now.

Steven the Hedgehog - Yeah, besides I don't know what's going on with me. Last thing I remember was facing one of Eggman's dumpster robots.

Gotta Go Fast (Sonic X Theme) by NateWantsToBattle

In the dark skies, X-Tornado's Battle Mode was seen facing the Egg Carrier. "Well, here goes!" Tails says off screen before the X-Tornado dodges three incoming missiles. The missiles then exploded in the end. The X-Tornado then activated a blade from it's back arm. As missiles whistle while flying pass the X-Tornado, the X-Tornado's right blade arm blocked one of the missiles, causing it to explode. The X-Tornado's right arm then released a yellow spear. As three missiles were flying, there were suddenly slashed in half before exploding. two more missiles flew, but they got sliced in an instant before exploding. The X-Tornado then faces the Egg Carrier again.

Inside the X-Tornado, Tails looked forward. "Hang on!" Tails says.

Outside of the X-Tornado, Tails continued off screen. "Almost there!" Tails says off screen before the X-Tornado's engine burst with super speed as it got close to the Egg Carrier. "We'll rush to the deck!" Tails says off screen. "Let's bring it in for a nice smooth landing, Tails!" Sonic says.

Back inside the X-Tornado, Tails freaked out. "Aa! Oh, no...!" Tails says.

Back outside of the X-Tornado, the X-Tornado was getting closer on the Egg Carrier. "You'll have to settle for nice and bumpy. There's no landing gear in this mode!" Tails says off screen. Sonic and Knuckles then look at each other in shock. "WHAAAAT...?!" Sonic and Knuckles asked at the same time. The X-Tornado swooshes on the ground before it stops with an explosion happening in the process.

Battle on the Egg Carrier (Heads up, Tails!)

In the skies, the Egg Carrier continued flying through the dark clouds in it's battle mode. The X-Tornado was also seen laying on the ground of the Egg Carrier with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles outside. "Wow! This thing is really huge!" Sonic says off screen, "Yeah. I can already sense the Master Emerald pieces are here somewhere!" Knuckles says off screen, "No time to gawk now, guys. We all need to get going and find the Sky Deck!" Tails says off screen "You're right, my friend!" Sonic says off screen, "Then Let's go!" Knuckles says off screen.

On the Egg Carrier, Tails and Knuckles looked at each other while Sonic was on the X-Tornado's arm fixing his shoes. "Right!" Tails says as he nodded before Knuckles turns around. "Ha, ha, ha!" Tails and Knuckles said at the same time while running off. "Here we goooooo!" Sonic says as he ran past Knuckles and Tails.

Inside the cockpit of the Egg Carrier, Dr. Eggman was looking at the monitors while pointing up. "Quick, launch attack!" Dr. Eggman says before pointing forward. This caused Decoe to appear. "Yes, sir!" Decoe says before Bocoe appeared. "Yes, sir!" Bocoe says.

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, missiles were then launched while Sonic continued running. The missiles then aimed at Sonic. Tails then looked scared as he continued running. The missiles then hit the Egg Carrier with Sonic zig zagging away from the explosions. Sonic then runs back to where he came while more missiles explode around him. "He's turning back" Knuckles says as he and Tails continue running. "Tails" Sonic says before Tails and Knuckles stop running. This also caused Sonic to skid to a stop before looking at Tails. "Are you okay?" Sonic asked while putting his hands on his hips. "Aha, ha, ha!" Tails says before he takes of the bandaged tape off his head while running up to Sonic. "Come on!" Sonic says as he was about to run, but suddenly a missile exploded in between them. This caused Sonic and Tails to take cover from the boom. The smoke clears to reveal a hole on the ground. "I'll meet up with you later. Now's my chance..." Knuckles says before he jumps up. "... To find search for the rest of that Master Emerald" Knuckles says off screen as he went through the hole with Tails looking at the hole. "But, Knuckles...!" Tails says, "Don't sweat it, Tails. You and I can look for Amy. Let's get to the Sky Deck before they launch another attack!" Sonic says before he runs forward. "OK!" Tails says before he flies after Sonic. Sonic and Tails eventually reached the Sky Deck door. "This must be the way to the Sky Deck!" Sonic says, "Then let's get going" Tails says before he and Sonic enter the door.

SKY DECK

Back inside the cockpit of the Egg Carrier, Sonic and Tails were seen running through Sky Deck on the monitors. "We missed them, Doctor!" Decoe says off screen. "Now what!?" Bocoe asked off screen. "Don't worry! They won't get far..." Dr. Eggman says.

Back with Knuckles, he saw a door that leads to another area in Sky Deck. "I sense the Master Emerald pieces. They can't be far from here" Knuckles says before he walks towards the door. The door opens and Knuckles enters before the door closses again.

At Mystic Ruins over 3000 years ago, Steven appeared once again. "I'm back here again" Steven says as he saw the Lost World Temple in front of him. "Hmm. I wonder where Tikal is now?" Steven asked before he runs off. As Steven ran around the Lost World Temple area, some of the Knuckles Tribe members looked at him with more mix feelings and mutters. "Look, it's that outsider again" A Knuckles Tribe Member says, "I've heard he's met the Chief's daughter recently" another Knuckles Tribe Member says, "We should warn Pachacamac just in case if he ever steps foot into this area again" the first Knuckles Tribe Member says, "Right, we should also make sure he doesn't know anything about the Emeralds Pachacamac wants" the second Knuckles Tribe Member says, "Yeah" the Third Knuckles Tribe Member says. After a few minutes, Steven came back to where he appeared. "I swear, those Echidnas are really getting on to me. I thought they would have gotten used to me being around these areas. I guess they see me as a threat, but all I have to do is not make a wrong move around here and I'm all good. Oh well, it doesn't look like Tikal's around here... Wait! Maybe she's at the Master Emerald shrine! Hmm..." Steven says before he spots a tunnel. "Maybe it's this way" Steven says off screen before he leaves the Lost World Temple area and enters a tunnel.

At the Master Emerald shrine area, Steven came out of a tunnel and saw the Master Emerald Shrine from afar. "Ah perfect" Steven says before he runs to the Master Emerald Shrine. Once Steven reached the Master Emerald Shrine, he stopped as he saw Tikal looking at 4 wild Chaos'. Steven then turns towards Tikal. "There's Tikal. Hey, Tikal!" Steven says before Tikal turns to Steven. "Huh? Steven, Hello" Tikal asked before Steven goes up to her. "What are you doing here?" Tikal asked, "I was around the area and I spotted you so I wanted to say hi" Steven says, "Oh, okay, but listen. I need you to back away just a bit. I'm about to greet myself to these creatures and I don't want them to get scared" Tikal says. Steven looked at the 4 wild Chaos' behind Tikal and caught the message. "Sure. No problem" Steven says before he backs away from Tikal and the 4 wild Chaos' a bit. "Thank you, Steven" Tikal says before she turns back to the 4 wild Chaos'. "You're the... Chao" Tikal says as she took a step forward. When Tikal took a step forward, the 4 wild Chaos' began to turn around and back away from Tikal. "Don't be afraid. You're safe with me" Tikal says before the 4 wild Chaos' chirped towards her. One of the wild Chaos' then walked up to Tikal before Tikal bents down a bit. Tikal takes the wild Chao in her hands before standing up. The other 3 wild Chaos' then chirped towards Tikal happily while Tikal smiled with her eyes closed. Steven saw this in surprised. "Wow. They didn't even hesitate when they went up to Tikal... I don't know how Tikal did it, but she's amazing... Maybe that could be why Tikal has a connection towards Chaos because she shows her care for these Chaos' since their it's children after all..." Steven says in his head. Suddenly, one of the Chaos' noticed Steven before flying towards him. This caused Tikal and the other Chao in her hands to turn around. Steven gasped a bit before the wild Chao lands in front of him. The wild Chao then chirped towards Steven. Steven then chuckled a bit. "Hey, little buddy" Steven says before he hesitantly petted the wild Chaos' head. This caused the wild Chao to look happy before forming a heart from its yellow circle. This made Tikal gasped before the other wild Chaos' chirped happily towards Steven and the other wild Chao. "Just like from the Chao Colony, I got them to form symbols on their heads. I still don't know how I do it though" Steven says in his head. After Steven finished petting the wild Chaos' head, the wild Chao then lifted its arms as it wanted to be picked up. "You want me to pick you up?" Steven asked before the wild Chao chirped and nodded it's head. "Okay, little buddy. Up we go" Steven says before he picks the Wild Chao up. Steven then held the wild Chao in his hands. Tikal, the wild Chao she held and the other two wild Chaos' go up to Steven and the wild Chao he held on to. "How did you do that?" Tikal asked, "Do what?" Steven asked, "Make that Chao form a symbol on its head. I've only just discovered them not too long ago and already you seem to know about them too" Tikal says, "To be honest, I don't know either. I guess you have to show them that you really care for their nature and traits" Steven says, "Probably, but you seem to know more about them than I do. Why is that, Steven?" Tikal asked, "Oh um... Well, I've heard about this place from a book and I saw a section that spoke about these creatures" Steven says, "Ah. I see. Well, Steven, I must say that I like how the way you show care for these harmless creatures. You're almost just like me" Tikal says, "I am?" Steven asked, "Yes. I've never known anyone else that shows true kindness to other living life forms. I'm glad to see you as one kind soul" Tikal says, "Oh... Uh... Thanks, Tikal. I'm glad you think of me that way" Steven says as he rubbed his head in embarrassment. "You're welcome. With the way how you handle these creatures, then you must know that these creatures do not possessed the ability to decided their own course of evolution" Tikal says before Steven looked surprised a bit. "They don't?" Steven asked, "Yes. They are fragile, fleeting and mix of pure and lovable life forms that come from their hearts. They're meant to live anywhere that has clear water and they can adapt to surviving in various environments if they come in close contact with other life forms" Tikal says, "Just like Cream and Cheese do..." Steven says in his head, "It's almost just like you and me, Steven. They somehow quickly adapted to us like they were meant to belong with other life forms" Tikal says, "Yeah, it does seem like that..." Steven says, "Maybe it's because we're pure hearted life forms that represent the kindness these creatures see in us. It's almost as if a child sees their parents and knows they can trust them. We're really lucky for them to trust us fully. Steven" Tikal says, "Yeah..." Steven says, "I knew it! These Chaos' do possessed hidden potential, but can only unlock it if someone is to care for them like a parent caring for their child. Hmm... I wonder what it would be like if. If I had my own Chao...? Still, Tikal's really someone special. It almost makes me wished she was still around... Why do I feel so different around her all of a sudden...?" Steven asked in his head. Suddenly, water movement and water drops were seen and heard from the pool of water around the Master Emerald alter. Tikal gasped as she looked up before Steven looked up to where Tikal was looking. Suddenly from the pool of water, a glimpse of Chaos 0 was seen rising from the pool of water. Steven also gasped a bit. "Chaos..." Steven says in his head. Suddenly, a bright light surrounds the whole area.

Back inside the Egg Carrier, Steven appeared in a hallway. "I was right. Tikal's care towards the Chaos' must have made Chaos open his heart to her so that it trusts her. Now it's starting to make sense. Chaos was never an evil god, it was just protecting those Chaos' and it's home with the help of Tikal. It's like they were meant to protect those Chaos' together. But it still doesn't explain how Chaos became the evil god it is right now. There's no way Eggman can make a god evil like that. There's no way. Tikal though... I don't know what it is about her, but she's really special in her way. Whatever it is, it's really interesting... I'm glad I was able to get half of this jigsaw puzzle together, but there's still more to it and I'm gonna figure this all out. But right now there's no time for any of that now. I've got to find Amy, Chris, Big and Froggy and get them out of this place!" Steven says before he runs in the hallways.

EGG CARRIER

In the main room of the Egg Carrier, Sonic and Tails landed on the ground. "Ahhh!" Sonic says before he looks around the room. "Is that it?" Sonic asked, "It might be. But let's check out the bridge, Sonic" Tails says before he and Sonic jumped on an elevator and the elevator rises up.

In another room in the Egg Carrier, E-102 Gamma was seen looking downwards.

Lily was then seen chirping in the same orange background.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it continued looking at the ground. "Uh, uh, testing 1, 2, 3... Oh, Gamma!" Dr. Eggman says from the speakers off screen before E-102 Gamma looks up. "Report to the rear of the ship immediately. I have a job for you! Hurry!" Dr. Eggman says from the speakers off screen.

In a hallway, Amy was seen running.

EGG CARRIER

Outside on the Egg Carrier, Amy and Lily appeared. Amy stops as she pants a bit. "Now if we can only find everyone and a way out" Amy says and Lily chirps. Suddenly, Decoe and Bocoe appear in front of Amy and Lily. This caused Amy and Lily to scream. "We've got you" Bocoe says as he and Decoe reach their hands towards Amy and Lily. "Yeah!" Decoe says. Decoe and Bocoe then shout while sweat dropping. It revealed that Amy held her Piko Piko Hammer upwards with Lily looking at her. "I don't think so" Amy says, "Please calm down" Bocoe says, "Back off!" Amy says as she was about to swing her Piko Piko Hammer, but suddenly a hand grabbed Amy's Piko Piko Hammer back. Dr. Eggman laughs off screen before Amy turns her head a bit to see Dr. Eggman. "Eggman... No!" Amy says, "Where do you think you're going, Amy? You can't get away this easily!" Dr. Eggman says, "Oh, Eggman!?" Sonic asked off screen. "Hmm?" Dr. Eggman asked as he, Amy and Lily look up. "Don't you think you ought to pick on somebody your own size!?" Sonic asked as he was seen sitting with his arms crossed and Tails was next to him. Amy's eyes then had tears in her eyes. "Y... You did come..." Amy says as a pink background appeared around her. Amy then turns her head a bit. "Get out of my way!" Amy says before she smacks Dr. Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe away with her Piko Piko Hammer. Amy then slams her Piko Piko Hammer against a wall, causing a thud and a vibration to be felt. This also caused Sonic and Tails to crash on Dr. Eggman's back with grunts. Dr. Eggman then look nervous while Sonic looks at him. "We got you. Give up?" Sonic asked, "I guess so, but you're too late, buddy!" Dr. Eggman says. Suddenly, a retractable claw appeared and reached towards something. This caused Amy to turn to the right. "Ah" Amy says as it showed Decoe and Bocoe standing while Decoe was holding the retractable claw that held on to Lily. This caused Lily to chirp in pain while Amy reached for her. "No! Lily!" Amy says, "Let her go, Decoe!" Sonic says before Dr. Eggman sits up, causing Sonic and Tails to fly off. "Boys, keep your eyes on the birdy" Dr. Eggman says, "Yes, Doctor" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time as they raised their hands up while Amy tried to get Lily back. Dr. Eggman then pushes Amy out the way. "Now then..." Dr. Eggman says before he grabs Lily, causing Lily to chirp nervously and sweat drop. "Let's have it..." Dr. Eggman says before Lily chirped. Dr. Eggman reaches his hand towards Lily's neckless that had the Cyan Chaos Emerald. "You won't be needing this..." Dr. Eggman says as he takes the neckless off of Lily. "... Nice birdy!" Dr. Eggman says before he let's go of Lily. Dr. Eggman presses his finger on the Cyan Chaos Emerald and this caused the Cyan Chaos Emerald to pop out. Dr. Eggman then catches it with his hand. "Look! It's... The Chaos Emerald!" Tails says while Dr. Eggman laughs. Amy also gasped as she saw this. "What!? No way!" Amy says, "Lucky me" Dr. Eggman says as he looked at his reflection on the Cyan Chaos Emerald. Dr. Eggman then turns to Lily who was still chirping. "Now be gone with YOU!" Dr. Eggman says before he looks up a bit. "Give back the birdy, Decoe! This is all I really need!" Dr. Eggman says, "I'll return the bird to you" Decoe says as he brings Lily back towards Amy. Amy then takes Lily in her hands. "Lily" Amy says and Lily chirps. Amy then brings Lily close to her face while giggling and both of them having their eyes closed. "You're safe" Amy says and Lily chirps again. "Gamma!" Dr. Eggman says. Suddenly, an elevator was heard and it revealed E-102 Gamma. E-102 Gamma then looks to the right a bit. "You called Doctor Eggman!?" E-102 Gamma asked. This caused Amy to open her eyes and gasped before looking at E-102 Gamma while E-102 Gamma jumps on the ground. "What is your wish?" E-102 Gamma asked, "It's you" Amy says while Dr. Eggman snickers. Dr. Eggman then points at Sonic and Tails. "How about a bit of target practice!? Get rid of these pests!" Dr. Eggman says while Amy looks at Dr. Eggman and E-102 Gamma. "Yes, doctor!" E-102 Gamma says before it began turning around, "And don't disappoint me, or else..." Dr. Eggman says off screen, "No!" Amy says as she reached her hand out towards E-102 Gamma. "Aim for the blue and yellow ones" Dr. Eggman says, "What!?" Tails asked off screen before Sonic steps forward. "Gotta catch us first" Sonic says, "Sonic!" Tails says off screen before Decoe and Bocoe dance while sweat dropping. "Yay, this should be fun" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time while E-102 Gamma goes in front of Sonic and Tails. "Go for it" Sonic says, "Ready aim..." E-102 Gamma says, "Don't shoot, Gamma!" Amy says as she runs towards Sonic and E-102 Gamma. Amy then looks at Sonic. "It's Eggman that's making him act this way!" Amy says, "Huh?" Sonic asked while looking at Amy. "He's really nice. Me and Steven saw how different he is" Amy says, "Wait! Steven's here too!?" Sonic asked before E-102 Gamma aimed it's laser gun at Sonic. Sonic and Amy then look back at E-102 Gamma before E-102 Gamma began firing his laser gun with zaps. Sonic shouted as he jumps away from the zaps with Amy watching them. E-102 Gamma then fired at Tails and this caused Tails to fly and shout. Amy gasped before Sonic began running while dodging the zaps. "Stop, Gamma!" Amy says before E-102 Gamma activated it's Jet Booster. This caused E-102 Gamma to fly up while Amy continued to gasps. E-102 Gamma then continued firing it's laser gun with zaps.

Outside of the Egg Carrier, explosions were going off around the area.

With Chris and Big, they were in a hallway while they stopped running due to the vibrations. "What's going on?" Chris asked, "Beats me" Big says.

Back with Steven, he was outside of the Egg Carrier and felt the shakes. "What the heck!? Why's this bird shaking now!?" Steven asked before he runs.

Back outside on the Egg Carrier, Sonic continue running while dodging the zaps from E-102 Gamma from above. Amy then reached her hand out as she ran. "Please! Stop shooting!" Amy says. As Sonic continued running from the zaps, he chuckles. Suddenly, an explosion went off to where Sonic was with Amy and Tails watching. "No!" Amy says. From behind Amy, Tails, Lily, Dr. Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe, Steven landed behind them. Steven stands up before gasping towards the explosion. "What's going on here!?" Steven asked. E-102 Gamma looked closer to see Sonic jumping on floating debris upwards. Sonic then crossed his arms while looking at E-102 Gamma. "Just missed me that time!" Sonic says. E-102 Gamma then aimed it's laser gun to Sonic upwards before firing more zaps. Sonic takes the piece of debris he was standing on and uses it as a shield against the zaps. Sonic then jumps before kicking his feet against the piece of debris. The piece of debris then went flying towards E-102 Gamma before it crashed into it. This caused the piece of debris to break in half before Sonic positions himself and uses one of the broken pieces to kick it back at E-102 Gamma. "One more!" Sonic says before he lands on the ground and E-102 Gamma crashes on the ground with sparks flying. Steven gasped a bit before running forward. "Now for the final blow!" Sonic says in his head as he ran towards E-102 Gamma before stopping in a skid. Sonic saw that Amy was blocking Sonic from E-102 Gamma. "Leave him alone, Sonic!" Amy says before a light wind sways a bit. Sonic then puts his hand forward. "This doesn't concern you, Amy!" Sonic says before he swings his hand to the right. "Stay out of the way! He's one of Eggman's clunkers!" Sonic says, "No! You can't hurt him! He's my friend! He doesn't mean to be bad!" Amy says, "Amy's right, Sonic!" Steven says off screen. Sonic and Amy gasped a bit before they turn to Steven who was checking on E-102 Gamma. "Steven... I'm glad to see your okay, buddy" Sonic says, "Me too, Sonic, but I can't let you destroy Gamma" Steven says, "Why not, Steven? That robot is one of Eggman's toys!" Sonic says, "I know, Sonic. Gamma may not look too friendly, but he's actually not bad. Believe me, I was a bit hesitate when I saw him, but something inside him triggered him to have a change of heart. He let Amy and Lily free from their prison cell and wanted us to escape. I was surprised too, but I know he's doing this for a good reason" Steven says off screen. Amy then turns back to Sonic. "Steven's right, Sonic. You don't need to hurt him, okay?" Amy asked. Sonic had his hands on his waist while looking at Amy. "Amy..." Sonic says. Amy's eyes then to sparkle with tears. "He helped set us free... He's different from those other robots! Please, Sonic! Leave him alone" Amy says. Sonic then looks towards Steven and E-102 Gamma. "Steven..." Sonic says, "Sonic, remember Lucky? He wasn't evil and I'm sure Gamma isn't evil. Everyone deserves a second chance" Steven says. Sonic then closes his eyes while looking downwards. "Okay, if you guys say so" Sonic says as he winks and gives a thumbs up. "A friend of yours is a friend of" Sonic says before he was cut off with an explosion going off from behind Amy, Steven and E-102 Gamma and a vibration to happen. This caused Sonic, Steven and Amy to gasped as they looked behind. "What now!?" Steven asked before another vibration was felt. Tails looked around in panic. "H... Hey, you guys. This ship..." Tails says.

In the skies, a shadow was descending down through the clouds. "I have a feeling we're losing altitude!" Tails says off screen as it revealed the Egg Carrier was descending downwards through the clouds.

Back on the Egg Carrier, Dr. Eggman also felt this. "What is happening!?" Dr. Eggman asked before Decoe goes up to him. "I don't know, doctor!" Decoe says before Bocoe goes up to Dr. Eggman. "I think we're falling!" Bocoe says, "Impossible!" Dr. Eggman says before he runs inside a hallway. "Wait for us!" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time while following Dr. Eggman. Sonic, Steven and Tails then noticed Dr. Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe leaving while Amy and Lily were checking on E-102 Gamma. "Eggman's running away" Tails says before he looks at Sonic and points to where Dr. Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe went. "Maybe we should follow him!" Tails says before Sonic puts his hands on his waist. "No sweat, Tails! I'll find him and put him out of commission! You find a way to get Steven, Amy and Lily off of this thing!" Sonic says before Steven turns to him. "Wait, Sonic. Chris, Big and Froggy are still inside the Egg Carrier. Let me go look for them so we can all get out of here together" Steven says, "No problem, Steven. Just be careful" Sonic says before he turns to Tails. "Get going, Tails. Take Amy and Lily and clear out" Sonic says, "But, Sonic..." Tails says, "Gamma, can you hear me? Are you okay?" Amy asked and Lily chirped. "You came here even though you were hurt because you wanted to rescue Amy, right?" Sonic asked, "Yes, but shouldn't we stick together right now...?" Tails asked, "We don't have much time to lose, Tails. Hurry up!" Sonic says, "But..." Tails says before Sonic pats himself while having his arms crossed. "Come on, Tails, old buddy. You and Steven are my right and left hand men" Sonic says before he chuckles. "Get going, Tails. I'll make sure everyone gets off of this bird safely. Trust me. I will!" Steven says, "Ah, hmm, okay!" Tails says as he nodded. "Atta boy!" Sonic says as he gives a thumbs up. "I'll see you later, Steven!" Sonic says before he jumps over Steven, Amy, Lily and E-102 Gamma and runs off with Tails watching. "He's really hurt!" Amy says before Tails looks at her and Steven looks back t E-102 Gamma. "Let's go, Amy!" Tails says, "We can't leave!" Amy says and Lily chirps. "He's gotta have a reset switch on him somewhere" Steven says as he looked around E-102 Gamma. "Gamma...!" Amy says.

Inside E-102 Gamma's, head it's eyes powered up with Amy and Steven in front of it. The picture was adjusting while Lily chirped off screen. The picture eventually became clear. "Hey, he's awake" Amy says, "I hope he's okay" Steven says.

Back on the Egg Carrier, E-102 Gamma's eyes then flashed while moaning. "What happened..." E-102 Gamma says, "Oh, thank goodness you're all right. You were knocked for quite a loop. We were afraid you might never wake up. But right now it's dangerous here. Don't pay attention to Eggman anymore. Free yourself. Come on!" Amy says before Steven stands up. "Get going, Gamma. You're free now" Steven says, "You both saved me life... Why?" E-102 Gamma asked and Amy moves a bit closer. "Because we wanted to. I'd said we'd be friends the next time we met so I'm just returning the favor. Even Lily wants you to be free. Eggman's not the kind of man you should work for" Amy says and Lily chirps off screen. "Amy, come on! Let's get going!" Tails says, "Okay, Tails" Amy says before she turns to Steven. "Steven, can you please make sure Gamma gets out of here safely?" Amy asked, "Of course, Amy. Now you guys get outta here. Me and everyone else will take it from here" Steven says. Tails spins his tails like a helicopter propeller with whirs before he grabs Amy as he began to fly up a bit. "Goodbye again! Thank you for everything! Until we meet again, Gamma! Take care of yourself! Be careful, Steven!" Amy says and Lily chirps off screen as Steven and E-102 Gamma look at her and Tails. "Whoa!" Amy says as Tails turned around and they flew off in the clouds. "We'll see you guys later!" Steven says before he turns to E-102 Gamma. "Alright, Gamma. You need help getting off this thing?" Steven says, "No thank you. Activate properller mode" E-102 Gamma says before he turns around, lifts his legs up and activates a propellor around it. "Whoa, I didn't know you could do that. Alright, then. Guess I'll be going too. Good luck again, Gamma. I'll see you soon!" Steven says before he runs off. "Thank you" E-102 Gamma says before it flies off.

Back with Steven, he was running. "Now all I gotta do is regroup everyone and we're all out of here!" Steven says.

With Sonic, he stopped running as he looked around the outside of the Egg Carrier. "If I'm to continue, I need to change this ship back to it's original shape!" Sonic says before he looks up to the left. "There must be a switch somewhere on the bridge! I've gotta find it, now!" Sonic says before he runs inside the Egg Carrier again.

HOT SHELTER

In a room, Chris talked off screen. "Is it in here?" Chris asked before he opens the door with Big behind him. The room revealed to be a room where Froggy was being held as it showed Froggy panicking while inside a cage that was inside a glassed jar in the middle of a platform. "Aaaah! That's him. That's Froggy. Looks like he needs our help" Big says off screen. Chris then opens the doors widely. "Then let's hurry!" Chris says as he was about to run forward.

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, more explosions were going off everywhere.

Back with Chris and Big, they saw that the whole platform Froggy was on collapsed as there was now a small platform that held Froggy's glass. Smoke was also seen flying from below. "Oh..." Chris says, "Huh?" Big asked, "What was that explosion? The floor..." Chris says. Suddenly, the platform Froggy's cage was on began to tip over with Froggy croaking in panic. Big then began to sweat drop while putting his hand inside his mouth. "Froggy can't get out" Big says, "Just stay calm..." Chris says.

Back in the skies, Tails continued flying while holding on to Amy. "Hey!" Chuck says off screen. Tails and Amy gasped as they looked down. Close to the ground was Chuck waving with his car parked behind him at an open field area.

On the ground, Chuck continued waving. "Tails, Amy, down here!" Chuck says.

On a street that leads to Station Square, Chuck was driving with Amy in the passenger seat and Tails in the backseat. Tails was also looking behind. "It's a good thing I followed you" Chuck says, "Sonic's... Still up there. I hope Steven takes care of this" Tails says while Chuck continues driving.

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, more explosions were going off. "Ow! What the" Knuckles says off screen as another explosion went off.

Back inside the Egg Carrier, there was a hole on the ceiling while small debris fell. It then revealed Knuckles sitting on the ground while rubbing his head and groaning. Knuckles also had a bag next to him. Knuckles shakes his head before he grabs the bag next to him. "Now that I found the last three pieces of the Master Emerald, I'm outta here!" Knuckles says before Steven stops in front of Knuckles. "Hey, Knuckles!" Steven says before Knuckles looked at Steven in surprised. "Steven, how did you get here?" Knuckles asked, "It's a long story, but we've gotta find everyone and get out of here and fast! The Egg Carrier is beginning to descend near Mystic Ruins and who knows when that'll happen" Steven says, "Well I just found the last three pieces of the Master Emerald so we can get going and find everyone else" Knuckles says, "Perfect!" Steven says before he gives Knuckles a thumbs up.

Back outside the Egg Carrier, the Egg Carrier began to tilt to the left a bit.

Back with Steven and Knuckles, they were walking and holding on to the wall as the Egg Carrier was tilting left and right. Suddenly, the Orb appeared in front of them. "Huh?" Knuckles asked before he and Steven stop and gasped. "It's the orb!" Steven says. Suddenly, a bright light appears.

Back at Mystic Ruins over 3000 years ago at night, Steven and Knuckles appeared and were looking at their reflections of a lake while there was some orange shines around it. Suddenly, there was fire spreading over a forest. Steven and Knuckles then look forward at the fire before Steven gasped. "Oh no!" Knuckles says, "What happened here!?" Steven asked, "Not again... This is getting ridiculous. Oh! Steven look!" Knuckles says before he and Steven turn to the left. Steven and Knuckles gasped as they saw Tikal and two wild Chaos' on the ground looking unconscious. "Tikal!" Steven says before he runs towards her and the two wild Chaos' with Knuckles following from behind. "Hey, are you okay?" Knuckles asked before he and Steven reach to Tikal and the two wild Chaos'. Steven went up to the wild Chaos' and checked their pulse on their necks. Steven gasped in shock as he didn't feel a pulse on any of the wild Chaos' before he turns to Knuckles. "They're... They're dead, Knuckles..." Steven says. Knuckles gasped before he Steven gets close to Tikal. "Tikal..." Steven says before he bents down and tries to help her. Tikal then opened her eyes slowly and she saw Steven and Knuckles. "Steven... Idris..." Tikal says with a weak tone. "Tikal, what happened here?" Knuckles asked. "I... I did my best to stop them like you wanted... Me to, Steven... But they came... And my father and the others would not listen to me... I had no idea... How bad this would turn out... I'm shocked... Now I don't..." Tikal says before she closes her eyes. "... Know what to do..." Tikal says before tears fall from her eyes as she cried. Steven watched Tikal cry and the dead wild Chaos' before he lets out a sudden low growl. "Her father... His men... Did all of this... To them... She's helpless now...!" Steven says in his head as his eyes flashed faintly yellow.

Suddenly, a blurry glimpse of what looked like the water monster from the stoned picture Dr. Eggman picked up after reversed Chaos Control. The water monster then lets out a loud roar.

Back with Steven, Knuckles and Tikal, Knuckles looked scared and Steven looked shocked as they heard the roar. This caused Steven's eyes to change back to normal before he and Knuckles looked up to the left. "What? What's that?" Knuckles asked, "That... That roar..." Steven says before he and Knuckles turn to the right and gasped. Tikal then grunts while slowly sitting up. "Oh no!" Tikal says while Steven and Knuckles looks at her. "What's wrong!?" Steven asked before he, Knuckles and Tikal gasped as they looked up. Steven, Knuckles and Tikal saw the Master Emerald brightly glowing on the alter. "Look, it's the Emerald!" Knuckles says, "What's happening to it!?" Steven asked before Tikal stands up and runs. "Hey!" Knuckles says as he and Steven stand up. "Tikal, wait!" Steven says as he reached his hand out while Tikal runs towards the steps to the Master Emerald alter. "Come back!" Knuckles says off screen. "Tikal, don't!" Steven says off screen. "Wait just a..." Knuckles says as he and Steven tried to go after Tikal, but another bright light flashed around the area. This caused Steven and Knuckles to shield himself while groaning. Steven then looks towards where Tikal went. "Tikal..." Steven says. Suddenly, a big bright surrounds the area.

Back inside the Egg Carrier, Knuckles appeared and was looking at the floor while the Egg Carrier continued tilting left and right. "What's happening? These are not dreams, they're nightmares! There must be some reason why we're being shown these things" Knuckles says.

Back with Steven, he was transported into the hallways of the Egg Carrier. Steven then looked around in shock. "Wh- What was that...? Those flames... The Chao... The roar... The Master Emerald... Tikal..." Steven says before he clenched his fist and shakes a bit while muttering. "I swear if that Orb brings me back, I'm gonna..." Steven says before the Egg Carrier began to shake again. Steven then looks around while grunting. "Grr... Where is everybody...?" Steven asked before he runs in the hallways.

Back in the skies, the Egg Carrier was slowly going down and Big was heard panicking off screen.

Back with Big and Chris, Big was speed pacing while panicking and Chris was trying to calm him down. "Calm down, Big, relax. Try not to panic" Chris says, "How can I?" Big asked, "This is such a pain..." Chris says before Steven appeared. "Chris, there you are!" Steven says before Chris turns to Steven. "Steven, where have you've been?" Chris asked, "I've been all over the place. Now what are you and Big doing here?" Steven asked, "We're trying to rescue Froggy over there..." Chris says before he points forward and Steven turns around to where he was pointing. "...But Big's too nervous to even try" Chris says off screen as Froggy continued croaking nervously. "Well we've all gotta get a move on. This bird is gonna crash down any minute now!" Steven says, "But how can we?" Chris asked while pointing towards Big who was still speed pacing. Steven looked around before he spotted something. "Follow me. I know what to do" Steven says.

In another area, Steven, Big and Chris were seen drinking from bottle cans that came from a drink machine called the "Egg Drink". The Egg Drink had different flavors like Coffee, Orange, Grape, Soda Water and Water. Chris was drinking Water, Big was drinking Orange Juice and Steven was drinking Soda Water. Steven, Chris and Big had their eyes closed while they gulped on the drinks before stopping and sighing. Steven, Chris and Big then open their eyes. "What a reliever" Steven says before he lets out a burp. "Yeah. This was a good idea, Steven. Feeling better now, Big?" Chris asked, "I think so" Big says, "Well, that's good..." Chris says, "Alright, let's go get Froggy now" Steven says before he crushes the bottle can with his head and throws it away.

Back at the cockpit of the Egg Carrier, Sonic was looking at the controls. "If I can figure this out, I should be able to put this flying bird back into shape!" Sonic says.

Back in the room where Froggy was, Big talks off screen. "Are you sure this will work?" Big asked off screen as he used his fishing pole and reached it as far as he could towards where Froggy's glass was. "Y-Yeah..." Chris says as he began crawling on the fishing pole while grunting. "I don't know about this, Chris. How about you just let me get Froggy instead?" Steven asked, "Don't worry, Steven... I can do this. Just gotta take baby steps" Chris says, "Okay then, but if things go South, I'm taking over" Steven says, "Thanks" Chris says before he continued crawling. "Be careful!" Big says as Chris tried to reach for Froggy's glass, but was still a bit far. "He's still a bit far" Steven says before he turns to Big. "Big, get Chris closer, but nice and slowly, please" Steven says, "You got it, Steven" Big says before he starts to bring the fishing rod and Chris closer. "Just a little more..." Chris says in his head as Big brings him even closer towards Froggy's glass while Froggy croaks. Chris closes his eyes from the wind that was making his hair fly backwards. Steven then began to sweat drop a bit. Once the wind stops, Chris opens his eyes and continues reaching his hand towards Froggy's glass. "Come on... you can do it, Chris" Steven says in his head. Chris almost had his fingers on Froggy's cage, but they slipped off. Steven gasped a bit. "Chris!" Steven says before Chris held onto Big's fishing pole in panic while having his eyes closed. "I almost fell. I don't know if I can hold on any longer. I'm sorry, guys, it's just no use. I can't reach him from here" Chris says before he opens his eyes and looks down. Big had his eyes closed and groans while sweat dropping. "Don't give up! Maybe it might be easier if I hold you out a little bit more" Big says, "Alright, nobody move. Chris, hang on. Big, I'm climbing on" Steven says before he goes on Big's fishing pole and began to crawl towards Chris. Steven eventually reached to Chris. "Alright, Chris. I'll hold on to you and you try to use both your hands to reach Froggy" Steven says, "Ah. Alright" Chris says and grunts before using his arms to let go while using his legs held on to the fishing pole. Chris then tried to reach for Froggy's glass with his hands while Steven held onto Chris' legs. After a few seconds, Chris manages to grab Froggy's glass. "Got him!" Chris says off screen.

Back with Sonic, he was pressing a few buttons before he pressed one more button. "Alright! Here we go!" Sonic says off screen.

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, the Egg Carrier was seen slowly changing back to it's original shape.

Back with Steven, Chris, Big and Froggy, they felt the Egg Carrier shaking as Chris yelled and held on to Froggy's glass and the fishing pole while Froggy croaked in panic. "Again with these shakes!?" Steven asked before he noticed Chris' fingers were slipping off the fishing pole and Froggy's glass. "Big, pull us back!" Steven says, "Hold on, guys!" Big says before he was about to bring Steven, Chris and Froggy back to him. As the shake continued, Froggy suddenly flew out of his glass. "Whoa oh!" Steven says before he jumped off the fishing pole. Chris and Big then gasped. "Steven!" Chris says. Froggy croaks before he was caught by the tail from Steven who hanging on to small platform. "Phew! That was a close one" Steven says, "Steven, are you okay?" Chris asked, "Yeah, Chris. I'm fine. I just gotta..." Steven says before he was cut off with another shake. This caused Steven's fingers to slip off of the platform before he and Froggy began to fall with Steven yelling and Froggy croaking. "Steven!" Chris says, "Steven! Froggy!" Big says. Steven reacted fast and grabbed Froggy out of his glass before throwing him upwards. Chris and Big then saw Froggy fly up before Big catches him. "Froggy, you're saved!" Big says, "Steven!" Chris says as he reached his hand out.

Back with Steven, he looked at his wrist mounted grapple. "Good thing I still have this on! Haven't used it in awhile, but I better make the most of it!" Steven says as he activated his wrist mounted grapple gun. Once the grabble gun caught an edge, Steven went flying upwards. Suddenly, the Orb flew to Steven. "Huh? Here we go again!" Steven says before another bright light appeared.

Back at Mystic Ruins over 3000 years ago, Steven appeared. Steven then looks around fast. "Wait a minute. Everything was just caught on fire around here. Unless..." Steven says before he spotted the Master Emerald shrine from afar. "Only one way to find out then" Steven says before he runs towards the Master Emerald shrine. Once Steven reached the Master Emerald shrine, he saw Tikal at the bottom of the steps while looking up. "I was right. I must be in a different time period before that disaster even happened. Maybe that can explain why Tikal kept asking how I know this place. Now before I try to put everything together, let's see what this is all about" Steven says in his head. "Tikal" Steven says before Tikal turns around and sees Steven. "Steven, there you are!" Tikal says before Steven goes up to her. "What's going on, Tikal?" Steven asked, "I want to show you something. Look" Tikal says before she points up. Steven looks up to see the stoned statues has the Chaos Emeralds. "The Chaos Emeralds..." Steven says in his head. "It's the Seven Emeralds" Tikal says, "Just like your grandmother said" Steven says, "Yes, but if I want to get a closer look at them, I need the protector's permission" Tikal says, "She's gonna ask Chaos" Steven says in his head before Tikal turns around and clasped her hands. "Is it alright for me to be here?" Tikal asked before the pool of water made movement and water drops. "So do you... Trust me?" Tikal asked, "I'm guessing Chaos is resting inside that pool of water..." Steven says in his head. "So these are the 7 Emeralds... Is it okay if I show my friend too? Believe me, he's not a hunger for power" Tikal says before Steven looked surprised a bit. "She wants me to see this too? Wonder what Chaos will say" Steven says in his head before the pool of water made more movement and water drips. Tikal then bows her head. "Thank you" Tikal says before she turns to Steven. "He said he'll allow you to see this too, Steven" Tikal says before she grabs Steven's hand. "Huh? Whoa!" Steven says as he and Tikal ran up the stairs. Tikal giggled a bit as she saw Steven's reaction. Steven and Tikal eventually reached the top of the shrine. In front of them was the Master Emerald glowing and shimmering. "!?" Tikal and Steven said at the same time. "The Master Emerald..." Steven says before Tikal brings Steven closer to the Master Emerald. "Could it be? It is. Now I know who brought me here, it's you" Tikal says, "Just as I predicted. Chaos is the original guardian of the Master Emerald" Steven says in his head before Tikal clasped her hands. "There's something important that you want to tell me" Tikal says as the Master Emerald continued to glow. "This must be the chant" Steven says in his head. "I understand... The servers are the seven Chaos Emeralds... The one controller serves to unify the chaos... The one controller serves to unify the chaos... The 7 Chaos... The controller itself..." Tikal says off screen as the Master Emerald continued to shimmer. "Huh! It is you. You control the seven Chaos" Tikal says before she turns to Steven. "Steven, this Emerald controls the 7 Chaos Emeralds! I've finally figured out what it all means" Tikal says, "Wow. That's great, Tikal" Steven says, "Now I finally understood what my grandmother meant when she said those words. I just wish my grandmother was here and I could tell her I finally solved her puzzle. Wonder what she would say?" Tikal asked, "Well I think she would says she's proud of you that you discovered the whole truth. She'll probably also say that you're always welcome to come here if you ever feel you need someone to talk to. Your grandmother and this Emerald are always welcome to listen to you" Steven says, "Even you too, Steven?" Tikal asked, "Huh? Even me? What do you mean?" Steven asked, "Steven, you're the first person I could ever consider as a friend besides the Chao'" Tikal says, "Really? Don't you have friends at Mystic Ruins?" Steven asked, "No. My father won't allow me to talk to anyone" Tikal says, "Really? Does he even let you do anything at all?" Steven asked, "He doesn't pay too much attention to what I do. All he does it try and make our Tribe stronger and powerful. Now that he knows about the Emeralds, I have to stop him before something happens" Tikal says, "Hmm..." Steven says in his head nervously. "But I'm really glad to have you as my first friend, Steven. I wouldn't have been to figure all this out if it wasn't for you and your support. Thank you so much for helping me all the way" Tikal says, "Oh. Well, you're welcome, Tikal. I'm just glad I was able to help you through this" Steven says while rubbing the back of his head. "Hmm. I'm really glad you did" Tikal says before Steven looked surprised and chuckled a bit. Steven and Tikal eventually started at each other while smiling before Steven thought of something. "Um... Tikal?" Steven asked, "Yes, Steven...?" Tikal asked, "I um... I was wondering... Are you...?" Steven asked before he was cut off with a bright light surrounding the area.

Back inside the Egg Carrier, Chris. Froggy and Big were seen trying to wake Steven up before Steven opened his eyes a bit. "Steven, are you okay?" Chris asked, "Steven?" Big asked and Froggy croaks. "Huh? What happened?" Steven asked before he stands up. "You managed to save yourself, but you were unconscious when you landed" Chris says, "Oh. I see. Don't worry, guys. I'm fine" Steven says, "Emergency alert has been canceled! Resuming monorail operation" the System says from the speakers. "Now what's going on!?" Chris asked, "I don't know, but I hope it's a good thing" Steven says, "Hurry. Let's get out of here" Big says off screen before he and Froggy ran off. "Let's get going, Chris" Steven says, "Right" Chris says before he and Steven ran after Big and Froggy.

Back outside on the Egg Carrier, Steven, Big, Froggy and Chris were running outside before they stopped. Steven, Big, Froggy and Chris saw that Chaos 4 was in front of them. "Chaos!" Steven says, "Oh, no" Chris says while Dr. Eggman was next to Chaos 4 in his Egg Mobile. Dr. Eggman then laughs. "It's Eggman!" Chris says before Steven grunted and Dr. Eggman laughs again. Chaos 4 then moved it's face a bit forward. Chris then gasped as he, Steven, Big and Froggy looked at Dr. Eggman and Chaos 4 while Steven looked a bit nervous. "S... Sonic!" Chris says.

Eyecatch Cards

EGG CARRIER

CHAOS 6

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, Dr. Eggman and Chaos 4 continue looking at Steven, Big, Chris and Froggy while Steven stood in front of Chris, Big and Froggy and muttered a bit. "Just our luck! What am I gonna do!? I don't stand a chance against Chaos, but I can't put Chris, Big and Froggy in danger! Of all times Chaos had to show up, why now!?" Steven asked in his head before Froggy began to croak nervously. "Well, well, trying to get the jump on me, eh? It's a good thing I came just in time" Dr. Eggman asked before he turns to Chaos 4. "Chaos, this freaky frog has a most unusual tail. If you catch my meaning and get the Chaos Emerald too" Dr. Eggman says before Chaos 4 let's out a low growl. "Oh" Big and Chris said at the same time as they looked at Froggy while Steven kept looking at Chaos 4. Chaos 4 then began marching towards Chris, Steven, Big and Froggy. "Guys, get out of here. I'll try to distract it" Steven says, "Be careful, Steven" Chris says before he turns to Big and Froggy. "Quick, let's make a run for it!" Chris says, "Yeah" Big says before he, Froggy and Chris run away from Chaos 4 and Steven. Chaos 4 stopped marching in front of Steven before Steven smirks a bit. "I'll take more than Chaos the Destroyer to stop me even if it does pull something tricky" Steven says before he positions himself. Chaos 4 spins around before sending an orange and yellow force wave towards Steven. Steven jumps out the way before Chaos 4 speed marches at Steven. "That's right! Over here! I'm your target!" Steven says before he runs off. As Steven ran in another direction, he turned around to see Chaos 4 not marching towards him. "Wait a minute! Where's it going!?" Steven asked before he looks to the left and gasped. "It's going after Chris, Big and Froggy!" Steven says before he runs after Chaos 4. Big, Froggy and Chris continued running before Chaos 4 makes a jump. Chaos 4 lands in front of Big, Chris and Froggy. This caused Chris to stop and for Big and Froggy to slam into Chaos 4 before roll crashing on the ground with groans. Chris gasped before Chaos 4 turns around. Big was seen with dizzy eyes and Froggy was laying flat on the ground. Steven then goes up to Big and Froggy before Steven bents down to Big. "Guys, are you okay?" Steven asked before Dr. Eggman sneakingly grabs Froggy. "Put him down!" Chris says while Dr. Eggman held Froggy and Froggy croaks. Steven turns around and gasped. "Be quiet!" Dr. Eggman says before he laughs and squeezes Froggy. Steven then grunts before grabbing Dr. Eggman's hand that had Froggy. "Let him go! You're hurting him!" Steven says, "Go get your own frog, you frog snatcher!" Dr. Eggman says off screen as Froggy was groaning from the squeezes. Once Steven eventually snatched Froggy back, this caused Froggy gawk out the Yellow Chaos Emerald out of his mouth. Steven then skidded on the ground while holding onto Froggy. Dr. Eggman then catches the Yellow Chaos Emerald. "And now, the amazing Eggman will do some magic..." Dr. Eggman says before he brings a small handkerchief and puts it over his hand the had the Yellow Chaos Emerald. Dr. Eggman takes the handkerchief off and it reveals the Cyan Chaos Emerald in his hand too. "Two emeralds. And now to make them both disappear!" Dr. Eggman says before he grunts while positioning his hand that had the Yellow and Cyan Chaos Emeralds. "Here!" Dr. Eggman says before he throws the Yellow and Cyan Chaos Emeralds. Steven and Chris gasped before the Cyan and Yellow Chaos Emeralds went through Chaos 4. "No!" Steven says as he reached his hand out before Chaos 4 began floating and moving around a bit. Then a bright light surrounds Chaos 4. Chris screams as he and Steven shield themselves while Chaos' liquid was beginning to change shape. As Steven continued shielding hisself, Dr. Eggman took the chance to snatch Froggy out of Steven's hand before flying off. The bright light clears and it reveals Chaos' new monstrous form that was known as Chaos 6. Chaos 6 lets out a low growl before Steven and Chris un-shield themselves and gasped at Chaos 6. "Woah... I'll admit, I thought King Boom Boo, the Booms and the Boos were the scariest beings I've ever seen, but this is just outrageous. Chaos is a beast..." Steven says, "Chaos..." Dr. Eggman says before he flies the Egg Mobile above Chaos 6. "Now I know you had a..." Dr. Eggman says before he reaches his hand that was holding on to Froggy by the tail. Steven gasped before he looks at his hands to see Froggy wasn't there anymore. "...Big lunch today, Chaos, but I hope you saved room for some yummy dessert because this frog is possessed by your tail. Once you get your tail, you'll be complete and ultra strong. Enjoy" Dr. Eggman says before he drops Froggy on Chaos 6. "No!" Steven and Chris said at the same time before Big began running towards Chaos 6. "HANG ON, FROGGY, I'LL SAVE YOU!" Big says before Chris reaches his hand out. "Stay back, Big!" Chris says before Big jumps with grunts and slams into Chaos 6 with groans. "Ooh..." Steven says as he and Chris had their eyes closed in embarrassment and painfully. "That'll work. Sheesh!" Chris says before he opens his eyes. "Come on!" Steven says as he and Chris run towards Big, Froggy and Chaos 6. Chris and Steven go up to Big before Chris climbed on top of Big. "Sorry about that" Chris says, "Careful" Steven says before Chris climbs on top of Chaos 6. "I got you Froggy!" Chris says as he grabs Froggy. "Well, Chaos?" Dr. Eggman asked. Suddenly, one of Chaos 6's tentacles from behind was reaching to Chris before Chris gasped. "What the!?" Steven asked as he turns to the tentacles. "Gotcha... Just as I expected!" Dr. Eggman says off screen as it revealed that Chris, Steven, Big and Froggy were inside Chaos 6's body while groaning and grunting. "You are so gonna get it!" Steven says as he tried to move around while Froggy's tail was slowly disappearing in the process. Suddenly, a bright light surrounds Chaos 6 as it began to shake.

Back with Knuckles, he was looking around the Egg Carrier outside. "I've finally found all the missing Master Emerald pieces... But..." Knuckles says before he runs. "I still can't figure out that creepy monster" Knuckles says before he noticed a couple of flashes and stopped running. Knuckles then turns to where the flashes came from. "Huh! What's that?" Knuckles asked as the bright light got brighter. "Whoa..." Knuckles says. After a few seconds, the light was slowly dying out.

Back to where Chaos 6 was, the bright light fades and Chaos 6 was now seen with a tail. Big then looks at Froggy who was swimming in panic while croaking. "Careful Froggy! Don't worry. We'll get ya back!" Big says before Dr. Eggman snickers. "Ha ha ha ha ha! Alright! Now I have 6 of the Chaos Emeralds. There's only one more left to find. I even found Chaos' missing tail!" Dr. Eggman says while raising a fist up a bit. Steven swims against Chaos 6's body and tried to punch himself out. Dr. Eggman laughs as he saw Steven trying to break free from Chaos 6. "Try all you like, Steven, but you're not gonna breaking free that easily" Dr. Eggman says, "Oh yeah!? We'll see about that!" Steven says before he began punching harder and faster. Suddenly, a blue blur was seen flying from the Egg Carrier, causing Dr. Eggman to turn around. "Huh? It's Sonic!" Dr. Eggman says before Steven stops punching and looks up. "Sonic!" Steven says while was diving down. "Holy cow! That's Steven and Chris in there. And is that Chaos too!? Could this be the same beast from before?" Sonic asked. Chris eventually sees Sonic's blur as he looked like he couldn't breath. "Sonic..." Chris says, "Hang on! I'll help you, guys! Just leave it to me!" Sonic says.

CHAOS 6

Back to where Chaos 6 was, Chaos 6 began charging its tentacles at Sonic before Sonic dodges one of them. "Whoa!" Sonic says before he grabs on one of the tentacles. "Sonic, watch out for the tentacles!" Steven says, "Ok! Oh" Sonic says before more tentacles fly towards him, causing Sonic to go high a bit. "Whoa!" Sonic says as he lets go. "I'm coming, guys!" Sonic says before he began sliding on one of the tentacles with grunts. "Ah" Sonic says before Dr. Eggman gasped. Chris then smiles as he looks up. Sonic then punches through Chaos 6 with grunts. Steven and Chris tried to reach their hands to Sonic while Chris screamed. "Chris! Steven!" Sonic says before he shouts as he was bounced back into the air. Chris then exclaims, Steven grunts and Dr. Eggman sighs. Sonic was then seen laying on the ground before Dr. Eggman laughs. "Oh, yes! Now, Chaos, let's whip that Hedgehog into shape! Now!" Dr. Eggman says before Chaos 6 released its tentacles from its body. The tentacles rise up before a shadow casted over Sonic. "Sonic, move!" Steven says before Sonic opens his eyes. "Whoa!" Sonic says before he gets up and runs. "Whoa!" Sonic says as he dodged a tentacle slam. Sonic was then smacked to the ground by another tentacle. The tentacles then began hitting Sonic over and over while Dr. Eggman laughs. "Sonic!" Steven says before he began punching all over Chaos 6's insides. "Tenderize him with your tendrils, Chaos!" Dr. Eggman says, "You won't... Get away with this... You madman!" Sonic says, "I will! You and Steven are no match for Chaos - even though he's not perfected yet" Dr. Eggman says before Steven gasped. "Perfected!?" Steven asked in his head. "Okay Chaos! Destroy them all... Immediately!" Dr. Eggman says before the tentacles were about to hit Sonic again while Sonic groans. "Sonic!" Chris says while Steven noticed something. A tentacle was then seen stopped in place. "Hold on, Chris... I'll get you guys out... Just hang tight..." Sonic says before he opens his eyes as he felt the tentacles stop hitting him. "Oh. What the..." Sonic says before he looks to the right. "Hey there, Knuckles! Glad you finally made it! I thought you got lost, or something!" Sonic says as it shows Knuckles holding onto a tentacle while groaning. Sonic gasped before Knuckles turns to him a bit. "Don't worry. We'll get them out of here" Knuckles says, "Yeah, how?" Sonic asked, "I'll give you a hint" Knuckles says and laughs before he positions his fist. "Aw... Shovel Claw, huh?" Sonic asked as he sweat drops. "You got a problem with that?" Knuckles asked, "No. No problem here, but if you get too close to that thing, it might suck that claw right in" Sonic says before Knuckles gasped while sweat dropping. Knuckles then looks back at Chaos 6. "We gotta figure out some way to get through. There must be a weak spot hidden somewhere..." Knuckles says as Sonic began to stand up. "... In that overgrown jellyfish...! Even if it is a god!" Knuckles says, "Hey, hold the phone there, buddy, do you see what I see?" Sonic asked as he looks at Chaos 6's brain. "That's it" Knuckles says off screen, "You got it, bud! Hmm... Hey, Steven!" Sonic says off screen before Steven makes a swim turn to Sonic. "Yeah?" Steven asked, "We may have a plan to get you guys out! You see Chaos's brain right there?" Sonic asked as he pointed up. "Chaos's brain?" Steven asked before he swims around and saw Chaos 6's brain. Steven then gasped. "Of course! All this time I could've been attacking Chaos by the brain!" Steven says, "Listen, Steven. You're gonna have to somehow try and keep Chaos distracted while me and Knuckles finish it off!" Sonic says, "What do you say, Steven? Are you ready?" Knuckles asked off screen before Steven clenched his fist. "Alright, let's do it!" Steven says, "Great!" Sonic and Knuckles said at the same time before Knuckles punched the tentacle he held on to and this caused the tentacle to splatter. Steven swims towards Chaos 6's brain and positions his fist. "Let's see you try to absorb this, Destroyer!" Steven says before he punched Chaos 6's brain. This caused Chaos 6 to roar in pain while shaking. "Whoa! I actually managed to hurt it! Alright, no more playing around!" Steven says before he began punching and kicking Chaos 6's brain even faster. Steven lets out a shout before delivering a strong kick to Chaos 6's brain. Chaos 6 roared louder while Sonic and Knuckles watch. "It's working! Steven's attacks are actually taking effect on Chaos now!" Sonic says, "That's good. If he keeps this up, we may be able to win this!" Sonic says as Steven continued punching and kicking Chaos 6's brain while Dr. Eggman saw this in shocked. "No! This can't be happening! I'll get 'em for this!" Dr. Eggman says before he pressed a button on his Egg Mobile. Suddenly, small satellites began to fly out and land on the ground. "Huh?" Sonic and Knuckles asked at the same time while looking to see the satellites fly towards them. Sonic and Knuckles jumped out the way before Sonic spin attacks and Knuckles positions his fist. Sonic and Knuckles then attacked the satellites before one of the satelities hits Chaos 6 who was still moving in pain. Suddenly, Chaos 6 got frozen before Sonic and Knuckles gasped a bit. "It froze!" Knuckles says before Steven, Chris, Big and Froggy were seen frozen inside Chaos 6. "Nows it's our turn!" Sonic says before he and Knuckles chuckle while looking at each other. Sonic and Knuckles then run towards Chaos 6. Knuckles was then seen having a Shovel Claw on his right hand. "Ready, Knuckles?" Sonic asked before Knuckles looks at Sonic for a bit. "READY!" Knuckles says as he raises his Shovel Claw a bit before looking forward. "Let's go!" Sonic and Knuckles said at the same time before Knuckles jumps up and Sonic speeds up. Knuckles than positions himself before making a pose with his Shovel Claw shining. "Hah!" Knuckles says before he raises his Shovel Claw upwards. "NOW SHOVEL CLAW!" Knuckles says before Sonic began to spin attack. "Here we go!" Knuckles says off screen before he began to dive down towards Chaos 6. Sonic and Knuckles attacked Chaos 6 at the same time and this caused the ice around Chaos 6 and Chaos 6 to shatter with a big splash with Steven, Chris, Big and Froggy flying up. Sonic and Knuckles landed on the ground before running away as Chaos' liquid began to pour down like rain. Dr. Eggman screams as he saw this. "No way! I can't believe this!" Dr. Eggman says. Steven, Chris, Big and Froggy were then seen wet with Steven and Chris coughing, Big looking at Froggy and Knuckles walking up towards the 6 Chaos Emeralds that were scattered on the ground while holding his bag. "Hey, Froggy" Big says, "Did we... Win...?" Steven asked while panting. "I think so..." Chris says before Knuckles picked up the Blue Chaos Emerald. "Now that Chaos' is finished, I'll be taking the Chaos Emeralds" Knuckles says before he began collecting all the Chaos Emeralds. Big then rocked Froggy a bit. "Heh heh heh heh, I won't let them take you away again" Big says before Chris moans and Steven stands up a bit. "I hope I don't have to battle underwater anymore because that sure gave me a swim for my life" Steven says while stretching a bit. Sonic then goes up to Chris, Steven, Big and Froggy. Sonic then gives a thumbs up while having his arms crossed. "Hey, guys, you doing okay?" Sonic asked, "Mmhmm!" Chris says as he nodded, "Never better, my friend" Steven says as he also gave a thumbs up.

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, it continued descending. "Only problem is, how do we get off of this thing" Chris asked off screen.

Back on the Egg Carrier, Sonic looks at the X-Tornado that was parked from afar in front of him. "We'll use the X-Tornado Tails left for us" Sonic says before Steven, Chris and Big look at the X-Tornado. "You can fly us out of here right, Steven?" Sonic asked, "Yeah, sure. No problem" Steven says before Sonic gives a thumbs up. "See? Easy" Sonic says, "Oh, okay. Come, little buddy. Time to get a move on" Big says before he and Froggy walked away from Sonic, Steven and Chris. Dr. Eggman was then seen rowing ores on the Egg Mobile while moving a bit. "Hmm?" Sonic asked as he and Steven look behind a bit. "Get away... Get away..." Dr. Eggman says and grunted as he continued rowing. "Doctor, wait!" Bocoe says as he and Decoe were running after the Egg Mobile while holding onto big green bags. "You can't leave us here!" Decoe says before Dr. Eggman looked nervous. "He's getting away!" Steven says, "Where do you think you're going!?" Sonic asked before Dr. Eggman continued rowing and Decoe and Bocoe continue running. "None of your business...!" Dr. Eggman says, "Watch out, Doctor!" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time as Sonic ran, jumps and held on to one of the Dr. Eggman's ores. "Gotcha!" Sonic says before the Egg Mobile shakes. "Let go of me, you hideous hedgerat" Dr. Eggman says, "I will not!" Sonic says before he and Dr. Eggman fly away from the Egg Carrier. "Their they go" Steven says, "Sonic..." Chris says, "Don't worry, he can handle it from here. He'll do okay. Now come on. I must return to Angel Island and restore the Master Emerald" Knuckles says before he looks at the X-Tornado. "Right. We gotta get out of here now. Let's go, Chris" Steven says before he looks at the X-Tornado form afar. Suddenly, Big was seen in the pilot seat while Froggy was sitting on his head. Chris then turns around and as he, Steven and Knuckles saw Big and Froggy inside the X-Tornado's pilot seat. "It's a bit cramped, but it sure is neat, huh, Froggy?" Big asked and Froggy croaks. "Now let's give it a try" Big says before Knuckles waves at Big from afar. "What's he doing?" Knuckles asked before Steven waved. "What the? How did they get inside the X-Tornado?" Steven asked before Chris waves his hands up. "Don't touch..." Chris says as Big holds on to the joystick. "... Anything, Big" Chris says before Big removes his hands from the joystick. "What does this button do?" Big asked, "What if he tries to fly that thing!?" Knuckles asked, "Oh no! We gotta stop him!" Steven says, "Big, wait for us!" Chris says off screen before a sound of a button pressed was heard. The X-Tornado's engine then began to start up. "Uhoh..." Big says off screen.

Inside the X-Tornado, Big and Froggy see Chris, Steven and Knuckles running to the X-Tornado with Steven running ahead."... I got a feeling we're in big trouble, Froggy" Big says, "Stop it!" Knuckles says, "Stay where you are!" Chris says, "Just sit right there! We're coming, Big!" Steven says, "Uh oh" Big says as another button press was heard.

Outside of the X-Tornado, The X-Tornado was about to take off. "Too late" Big says off screen before the X-Tornado began to take off with smoke flying. "Big!" Steven says before he speeds up and does a big jump. Steven nmanages to grab onto one of the wings while grunting.

Outside of the Egg Carrier, the X-Tornado was seen flying off. "No" Knuckles says and yells off screen. "Big, come back!" Chris says off screen, "Where is everyone?" Decoe asked off screen, "Search me. Oh well" Decoe says off screen, "Okay, we'll go!" Decoe says off screen before he and Bocoe walk to the edge of the Egg Carrier. "Ready, jump..." Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time before they jump off the Egg Carrier with exclaims. Decoe and Bocoe then activate their parachutes. "No use, no hanging around here!" Bocoe says, "You can say that again" Decoe says.

At the X-Tornado, Steven was seen climbing towards the pilot seat while grunting. Once Steven got to the pilot seat, he knocked on the glass window.

Back inside the X-Tornado, Big and Froggy turn around to see Steven. "Oh! Steven!" Big says and Froggy croaks. "Big, open the hatch!" Steven says, "The hatch?" Big asked, "Yes! That button right there!" Steven says as he pointed to a button inside the X-Tornado. "This button? Okay" Big says before he presses the button.

Back outside of the X-Tornado, the window hatch opens and Steven pulls himself closer to the pilot seat. "What are you doing, Steven?" Big asked as Steven was fastening Big's seatbelt. "We've gotta go back for Chris and Knuckles! Hold on you two!" Steven says before puts Froggy in Big's hands. "This could get a bit intense!" Steven says before he held on to the joy sticks and turned them towards the right.

Back outside on the Egg Carrier, Knuckles and Chris saw the X-Tornado flying above the Egg Carrier. "What're they doing now!?" Knuckles asked, "I don't like where this is going!" Chris says. Once the X-Tornado flew above the Egg Carrier, Steven activated his wrist mounted grapple gun and shot it on the X-Tornado. Once the hook was attached to the X-Tornado, Steven jumped and swings down towards Chris and Knuckles. Chris and Knuckles gasped before Steven grabbed them. "Whoa!" Knuckles says as he held onto Steven. "This is insane!" Chris says, "You're welcome!" Steven says before he makes his wrist mounted grapple gun pull them towards the X-Tornado.

Back at the X-Tornado, Steven, Knuckles and Chris reached it. "Safety first!" Steven says before he placed Chris inside the seat behind Big's seat. Knuckles landed on the right wing and Steven pulled himself back to the pilot controls with Big and Froggy still sitting in the pilot seat. Steven then turned the joysticks to the left and the X-Tornado flew away from the Egg Carrier. "Okay, everyone! Stay seated! This could get bumpy!" Steven says as the X-Tornado continued flying.

Back at the Egg Carrier, there were explosions going off everywhere before the Egg Carrier began to descend down faster.

At the Thorndyke Mansion, Amy talks off screen. "I hope Sonic and Steven are okay..." Amy says off screen.

In Chuck's room of the Garage of the Thorndyke Mansion, Tails, Cream, Cheese, Chuck, Mr. Tanaka and Ella were in the room with Ella talking. "Because I'm getting really worried now" Amy says off screen as Amy and Lily were sitting on the staircase with Amy looking downwards and Lily looking at her. "I wish we didn't have to leave them behind" Amy says before she looked sad. Lily then chirps before Amy looks at her. "I know you're sad too, Lily, but you also surprised me..." Amy says before she kicks her legs a bit. "... That mean old Eggman took your Chaos Emerald away, didn't he? It's no wonder they were after you, Lily" Amy says before Lily moved a bit. This caused Lily's pendant to open up. Amy looks to see there was a small picture of Lily, the pink bird and the grey bird together while Lily had tears in her eyes. "A pendant, wow. Is that your brother and sister?" Amy asked before Lily chirps. "Did Eggman catch them too?" Amy asked and Lily chirps again. "..." Lily says silently. "And when you were rescued, you had to leave them behind, didn't you?" Amy asked and Lily chirps again. Amy then looks downwards. "That's so sad..." Amy says before Lily chirps again. Lily then looks downwards. "Alright, in that case... Lily...!" Amy says as she stands up. "... Follow me!" Amy says as she began walking down the steps before Lily chirps. "We're gonna find your family. I've come this far. I may as well go all the way!" Amy says before Lily flies and goes after Amy. "Gamma said Dr. Eggman's base is in the Mystic Ruins. So what d'ya say we check it out?" Amy asked and Lily chirped happily.

MYSTIC RUINS

In the forest in Mystic Ruins, Sonic and one of Dr. Eggman's oars was seen falling down with Sonic yelling. A vibration was felt with Sonic grunting off screen. One of the oars was on the ground and Sonic was seen having his head and arms stuck in the dirt. "Whoa, ooh" Sonic says before he tried speed running out the dirt. Sonic stops and groans before he uses his feet to get himself off while grunting. Sonic then got his arms and hands out and uses them tried to get his head out. Sonic stopped before he tried speed running again.

Above Mystic Ruins, there was a shake and this caused 5 threes to fall to the ground. Sonic then grunts off screen.

Back with Sonic, he was free while rubbing his head. "Aarrgh! Talk about a headache! Boy, that's the last time I hitch a ride with Eggman!" Sonic says before he opens his eyes and looks around. "Where's this?" Sonic asked before he gasped as he saw something. In front of Sonic was the Lost World Temple.

Above Station Square, Dr. Eggman was seen flying his Egg Mobile in an uncontrollable way. "I'm finished! Chaos was defeated, and now my Egg Carrier is ruined! No matter! I will destroy Station Square somehow anyway!" Dr. Eggman says before he flies in a stabled way.

In a dark background, Jerome talks off screen. "Who would have thought?" Jerome asked off screen before Jerome was seen in Station Square looking filthy while lifting a lid up. "Just several weeks ago, I was an advisor to the President..." Jerome says in his head as he was seen looking through a dumpster in an alley way. "... And now look at me. Picking through slimy dumpsters for my next meal...!" Jerome says in his head before Dr. Eggman was seen flying in his Egg Mobile. "... How low can I go?" Jerome says in his head before he notices Dr. Eggman. "Huh?" Jerome says before he looks up to see Dr. Eggman. "Eggman!" Jerome says, "Who are you?" Dr. Eggman asked before Jerome adjusts his suit. "You might not remember me, sir! I was an advisor to the president, Jerome!" Jerome says, "Oh, is that so? And what are you doing these days besides not bathing?" Dr. Eggman asked, "To tell you the truth, not much of anything. If you could help me out, I'd appreciate it!" Jerome says, "I have just the thing you need to put a spark in that hundrum life of yours" Dr. Eggman says before Jerome raises his hands up. "I'll take it! I'll take it!" Jerome says, "Here, try this!" Dr. Eggman says before a black box fell out of the Egg Mobile. "Thank you! Thank you, sir!" Jerome says as he ran. "Thank you!" Jerome says as he about to reach the black box. "What's this?" Jerome asked off screen. "A missle!" Dr. Eggman says. Suddenly, the black box turned into red blocks and the red blocks multiplied. The red blocks were then taking shape of something while Jerome was whimpering as a shadow cast over him. The red blocks then formed into what looked like a big and tall missile with Dr. Eggman's logo on the front.

At another part of Station Square, the big and tall missile was seen from a few citizens with Jerome screaming off screen. "It's some kind of missile" a man says, "Action!" another man says off screen before Scarlet makes an appearance to the readers. "This is Scarlet Garcia live from Station Square where..." Scarlet says.

Back in Chuck's room, Tails and Chuck were watching the news on TV in shock. "... An unidentified missile has been discovered!" Scarlet says from the TV off screen, "If that missile lands somewhere..." Tails says.

Back with Dr. Eggman, he pressed a button on the Egg Mobile. "It's sure been nice knowing you all. Ready?" Dr. Eggman asked before he waves. "Fire! Bye bye!" Dr. Eggman says.

Back at Station Square, the missile was seen about to take off with people screaming off screen. The missile then takes off and flies into the sky.

Back with Dr. Eggman, he continues waving. "So long, Station Square!" Dr. Eggman says before he turns around. "Back to the Final Egg hideout" Dr. Eggman says and laughs as he flies away.

Above Station Square, the missile was flying a bit downwards as it whistled.

On the ground, the missile continued flying with a smoke trail seen. Tails was then seen flying with his tails after the missile. "That's Eggman's missile! I wonder what happened to Sonic and Steven!?" Tails asked before he flies up. Tails got a good look to see the missile continue flying. "Oh, no!" Tails says.

STATION SQUARE

At another part of Station Square, the missile looked like it was about to crash. "It's going to crash!" a man says off screen, "Run!" a woman says off screen before more people screamed off screen. The missile then crashes with a strong vibration. "What's going on?" a man asked off screen. The missile was seen crashed on a bridged highway with black smoke flying and three cars skidded in a stop. "It came outta nowhere" a man says from a crowd that were looking at the missile from below while chattering. "That bridge could go at any minute!" another man says from the crowd, "Call the police... No! The Fire Department!" another man in the crowd before Tails lands into the crowd. Tails then looks at the missile. "It looks like no one was hurt" Tails says before Bokkun flies into the scene and puts his hands on his waist. "Now, listen up! I got a message, and it's from Eggman so you folks better listen good!" Bokkun says before he takes a TV out of his bag. The TV turns on and it reveals Dr. Eggman's face. "Well, well... I hope you all enjoyed my surprise. I had a blast putting it together and you'll have a blast in about two minutes when my missile goes off" Dr. Eggman says from the TV off screen before the crowd screams in fright and run away. Dr. Eggman was also seen holding two fingers up before showing his face again. "And now my trust assistant, Bokkun, will begin the final countdown while I send you all a farewell gift. Bokkun?" Dr. Eggman asked from the TV before Bokkun sweat drops. "Ah, count down?" Bokkun asked, "Start counting! Now he's my farewell present to you all!" Dr. Eggman says from the TV before the TV goes off. "Okay. 120, 119, 118..." Bokkun says. Suddenly, a giant robot lands in front of where the missile was. The robot was known as the Egg Walker. This caused the crowd to scream and run away while Bokkun continued counting. "If Sonic were here, he'd know what to do..." Tails says, "...117, 116, 115, 114, 113..." Bokkun says off screen before a cloud imagination pops up and shows Sonic. "Hey, no sweat, pal!" Sonic says before Sonic was seen jumping towards Egg Walker. The clouded imagination then fades away. "Hmm. What would Steven do?" Tails asked before another cloud imagination pops up. The cloud showed Steven kicking the Egg Walker to the ground and defusing the missile from the panel. The imagination cloud fades away again. "... 112, 111, 110, 109..." Bokkun says as he was seen flying around. Tails then looks behind to see the crowd looking at him. "What are y'all looking at me for!? There's nothing I can do about this!" Tails says before he turns to the left and sighs while sweat dropping. "I wish..." Tails says before he looks at the crowd a bit. Tails then looks downwards while looking nervous. "Sonic would say I should try" Tails says before he closes his eyes in frustration. Tails then opens them while looking to the left a bit. "Even Steven would say I could do anything if I tried. The fate of Station Square depends on me, huh..." Tails says before he closes his eyes again and clenches his fist. "I'm not scared... I'm not scared! All right..." Tails says before he opens them again. "I'll give it my best shot! Here goes!" Tails says.

Back in Chuck's room, Cream, Cheese, Ella and Mr. Tanaka were watching the news on TV while Chuck looked anxious and tapped his foot. "It looks as though Tails is attempting to stand up against the giant robot" Scarlet says from the TV off screen.

EGG WALKER

Back at Station Square, the Egg Walker began shooting missiles towards Tails while Tails dodged them. "I've got to somehow find it's weak point!" Tails says before he noticed the Egg Walker stomping. As the Egg Walker stomped, it released Cyan wave patterns. "Maybe I can get it from the feet" Tails says before he flies up to one of the Egg Walker's front feet. "I've never done this before, but I hope this works!" Tails says before he used his tails to spin attack against the Egg Walker's feet's lights. This caused the Egg Walker's feet to shoot sparks and the body of the Egg Walker began to collapse a bit. "Alright! It worked! I just have to keep this up and hopefully finish it!" Tails says before he does the same strategy. The Egg Walker eventually released a few bombs before they exploded on the ground. This caused vibrations and smoke to fly around. After a few hits on the Egg Walker, the Egg Walker slowly collapsed without getting up and explosions happened around it. "Yeah! Now that the robot is down, I can try and disarmed the missile!" Tails says before he flies up to the missile. Tails had the panel opened from the missile and used his screwdriver to check it while Bokkun continued counting off screen. "If I could only figure out which is the right wire! If I cut the wrong one, this thing will detonate...!" Tails says before he looks up at Bokkun who was still flying and counting with tears in his eyes. "... But I, I don't have much time" Tails says before he looks back at the inside of the missile. "82, 81..." Bokkun says off screen as Tails looked frustrated before he closes his eyes and looks downwards to the left. "80..." Bokkun says off screen, "Sonic..." Tails says, "79, 78, 77, 76" Bokkun says off screen.

A flashback shows the same one of Tails walking through the forest while looking sad and sobs a bit as he was holding to what's left of his invention. Then suddenly, he noticed something. It revealed Sonic running through the forest. "Sonic's always been there for me" Tails says off screen.

Another flashback shows Steven helping Tails throughout the entire Story/Show. "Even Steven's been a big help to me in this World..." Tails says off screen

Back to Tails' flashback with Sonic, it showed Sonic stop running and looking around. Tails then spies on Sonic from the bushes. "They taught me so much..." Tails says off screen before Sonic ran through the forest again. Tails then was seen looking excited. "...But I can't depend on either of them forever. Maybe now it's time I..." Tails says off screen before it shows Tails running in Sonic's direction. "... Learned to stand on my own two feet!" Tails says off screen.

Back to reality, Tails looked back at the panel of the missile before holding a pair of scissors while Bokkun continues counting off screen. "I know a lot of technical stuff. I should be able to disarm this thing in no time!" Tails says before he goes back to check the inside of the missile. "Now let's see... It can't be that one..." Tails says, "...62, 61..." Bokkun says off screen while Tails continued looking through. "I got it...!" Tails says, "...59, 58..." Bokkun says off screen before Tails cuts a red wire that had two lines on it. "Did it do it?" Tails asked off screen, "55, 54, 53... Huh?" Bokkun asked off screen as the missile was now disarmed. "Hey! I did it!" Tails says with his eyes closed as his sweat flies from his head. The crowd then cheered and applauded for Tails off screen. Tails opens his eyes and looks down at the crowd. "Thank you!" a woman says from the crowd, "You saved the day!" another woman says from the crowd, "You're the best!" another woman says from the crowd. Tails continued looking at the crowd before clenching his fist a bit. "Heh! I did it all by myself!" Tails says before he scratches the side of his head and raises his fist up. "Thanks, everyone..." Tails says and chuckles while having his hand on the back of his head. Then suddenly, someone was tapping on Tails' shoulder, causing Tails to open his eyes. "Huh?" Tails asked before he turns to Bokkun. "What is it?" Tails asked before Bokkun shakes Tails' hand. Bokkun then flies off before Tails waves at him. "Thanks..." Tails says before Bokkun looks back at Tails. "Yeah. Well, you just wait 'till I tell Doctor Eggman! Ha!" Bokkun says before he flies away. Tails continued looking to where Bokkun left in surprised. "I really did it, didn't I? Wait a minute, where's the X-Tornado?" Tails asked as this concluded Miles "Tails" Prower's Story in Sonic Adventure.

FIN

Back in the skies, the X-Tornado was seen flying before it began flying towards the ground of an island in Mystic Ruins. There was then a faint crash sound.

On the island of Mystic Ruins, the X-Tornado was seen sitting above trees and Knuckles, Big, Steven and Chris were seen on the sand with Froggy on Big's chest while groaning. Chris then sits up while Big and Froggy had dizzy eyes. "Everybody okay?" Chris asked before Steven sat up. "I think so. I can't believe I managed to get us out of there" Steven says before Knuckles stands up and walks away. Steven and Chris then look at Knuckles. "Where are you going, Knuckles?" Chris asked, "I've got to find a way back to Angel Island" Knuckles says as he was walking towards a bridge. "Good luck, Chris and Steven" Knuckles says before Big sits up. "Hey..." Big says before he looks around. "... Where are we?" Big asked, "In Mystic Ruins, I think" Chris says, "You're lucky I was able to reach the X-Tornado on time, or else who knows what could've happened if you had taken off on your own" Steven says. Suddenly, the X-Tornado fell down into the sand with a heavy crash. Chris, Steven and Big then look at the X-Tornado. "Whoa, that was close!" Chris says, "It almost crushed us..." Big says as he held Froggy. "Good thing we weren't near the crash site" Steven says and Chris chuckles a bit. "I guess we're just lucky..." Chris says, "Lucky" Big says and Froggy croaks. "Speaking of Lucky, I better get home. He's probably wondering where I am right now" Steven says, "There's somebody with the name Lucky, Steven?" Big asked, "Uh huh. He's a robot I took in awhile ago. He always puts a smile on my face whenever something happens out of pure luck" Steven says before chuckling. "Hey, look..." Chris says as he noticed something. "What is it?" Steven asked before he noticed there was something glowing in the hand underneath the spear of the left arm of the X-Tornado. Steven and Chris go up to the area and gasped. Steven and Chris saw that it was the Red Chaos Emerald. "A Chaos Emerald! I think it's the Seventh one" Chris says before he picks it up. "Well I'll be..." Steven says. Chris then runs towards the bridge while holding the Red Chaos Emerald. "Hey, Knuckles!" Chris says before he left into the forest. Big had Froggy on his shoulder as they and Steven watch Chris leave. "See you, buddy..." Big says and Froggy croaks before Steven turns to them. "Well, Big. We got Froggy back. Are you happy he's back?" Steven asked, "Yes, Steven. I'm so glad I got my little buddy back" Big says and Froggy croaks again. "Then I'm guessing this is where we go our separate ways huh, Big?" Steven asked, "Yes. Me and Froggy had a long day today so we're gonna go back home now" Big says, "Alright. I understand" Steven says, "Thank you for everything you've done for us, Steven. Will we see each other again?" Big asked, "I'm sure we will, Big. Who knows? Maybe you can give fishing lessons one day. I'll definitely condiser it" Steven says before he gives Big and Froggy a thumbs up. After a few minutes, Steven was seen inside the X-Tornado and the X-Tornado's engine started up. The ground began to shake and the X-Tornado pulls out of the dirt. Once the X-Tornado was out of the dirt, it flew in the skies with Steven waving at Big and Froggy with Big waving back. The X-Tornado eventually flew away in the skies. Big was then seen swimming in the lake. "I'm sleepy. What do you say you and me go home, Froggy?" Big asked and Froggy croaks as this puts an end to Big the Cat's Story in Sonic Adventure.

Shining Road (光る道, Hikaru michi)

Clips were playing from the next Chapter/Episode. "Hey! It's me, Steven the Hedgehog! Now with the Egg Carrier destroyed yesterday, you would think Dr. Eggman could have been defeated once again. Wrong! It turns out he's been hiding in his secret base in Mystic Ruins all along and he's up to something which is not surprising. Meanwhile, Gamma has been searching for his E-100 Series Robot comrades to free the animals and their control from Dr. Eggman. As for me, I met up with Sonic and we discovered the Lost World Temple me and Knuckles searched for the remaining pieces of the Master Emerald yesterday, but we found something that was really somewhat disturbing. After a recent back to the past and grudge moment, me and Sonic went after and stopped Dr. Eggman once again at his secret base called Final Egg! The next day, I met up with Amy who was helping Lily find the rest of her family. We managed to search inside the Egg Carrier that was in the ocean. Once we got inside, we were then greeted with a robotic battle happening with Gamma involved! I don't know why, but I've got a bad feeling all of a sudden and I think it has something to do with the weather. So whatever it is, I have no choice but to face it when it happens! Next time on Sonic X: Steven the Hedgehog! "Gamma the Wanderer" ("Revenge of the Robot"). Let's do this!" Steven says off screen as the current Chapter/Episode ends.
