Pan-p2: Sonic and Steven would be proud of you Talis.

Sonic the Hedgehog - I sure am proud of my little buddy!

Steven the Hedgehog - Tails managed to save the day on his own. It makes me feel like a big brother watching his little brother accomplish something on his own.

Sonic45: I wonder if Sonic show Steven some cool pose?

Sonic the Hedgehog - Yeah, we've done a lot of poses during battle.

Steven the Hedgehog - Doesn't hurt to do them at the end.

Martin: I am starting to get the feeling that Steven might be having a crush on Tikal

fflyboyray - Well Steven has seen Tikal's events a few times. I guess you can say it's slowly developing of some sort.

Martin: Why do I get the feeling that Tikal might to start to have a crush on Steven? I also get the feeling that Tikal is the orb that was guiding Steven

fflyboyray - Like I said, it could possibly slowly develop if possible. It could be Tikal if Steven finds out the truth.

dbehi1: To Sonic, Steven, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and every single one of their friends and enemies (Cream & Cheese, Chris, his family, Tikal, Gamma and his brothers, Topaz, Rouge, Mr. Steward, Chris's friends Danny, Frances, & Helen, Big The Cat & Froggy, and everybody else who has appeared so far) HAPPY HOLIDAYS! SEE YOU ALL IN 2022

Everyone - HAPPY HOLIDAYS.


Gotta Go Fast (Sonic X Theme) by NateWantsToBattle

A flashback from last Chapter/Episode shows Tails trying to disarm the missile by having the panel opened and using his screwdriver to check it while Bokkun was counting down 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 story. "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 flew 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.

Gamma the Wanderer (Revenge of the Robot)

In Mystic Ruins at Final Egg, Amy and Lily were looking at the bridged elevator that leads to Final Egg. "Hmmmm... I don't remember this bridge... Looks dangerously suspicious! ... Wanna go, Lily?" Amy asked before Lily chirps. Amy and Lily then enter the bridged elevator.

At Station Square near the docks, it was foggy towards the bridge that leads to Mystic Ruins with seagulls chirping off screen.

On the bridge, Chris was seen running while holding the Red Chaos Emerald towards Mystic Ruins while panting. Chris then looks at the Red Chaos Emerald before looking forward. "I've got to get this Emerald to Knuckles somehow" Chris says before he stopped running and a chopper was seen flying from behind him. "But how can I?" Chris asked before he looks up to the chopper that was flying above him. The chopper was seen flying towards Mystic Ruins. Chris then clenched his fist. "I know. We'll use the X-Tornado!" Chris says before he continues running.

Above Mystic Ruins, the chopper was seen flying above through Mystic Ruins.

Inside the chopper was Scarlet holding a microphone. "Good afternoon... This is Scarlet Garcia reporting to you live from inside the SSTV newscaster" Scarlet says.

At the Thorndyke Mansion, birds were chirping off screen.

On a TV, it showed the forest of Mystic Ruins seen from above.

In the living room of the Thorndyke Mansion Cream, Cheese, Tails, Chuck and Mr. Tanaka watching the TV with Mr. Tanaka standing, Chuck, Cream, Cheese and Tails sitting and Cream and Cheese eating donuts.

Back on TV, it continued showing Mystic Ruins. "I am currently above Mystic Ruins. For now, the general public is forbidden from entering this district" Scarlet says from the TV off screen before the camera changes to Angel Island that was seen sitting in the ocean. "Although we still do not have any new reports about the floating island that fell..." Scarlet says off screen.

Back in the living room of the Thorndyke Mansion, Cream looked nervous as she and Cheese continue chewing on their donuts from a bag that was labeled "Donki". "It's Angel Island!" Cream says, "Chao!" Cheese says.

Back on TV, it continued showing Angel Island. "Since the situation is not clear yet... The general public is not allowed to enter this area" Scarlet says from the TV off screen. The TV then changes to the missile that crashed on the upper highway in Station Square. "Also, citizens of Station Square are breathing a collective sigh of relief today after narrowly avoiding a surprise attack by the notorious Dr. Eggman" Scarlet says from the TV off screen before the TV showed a crowd of people running in panic. "Yesterday, residents were thrown into a state of panic when Dr. Eggman..." Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed the missile flying above Station Square. "...Aimed a missile and sent a giant robot into the center of the city" Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed the missile about to crash. "A missile housing a ticking time bomb..." Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed a timer that was counting down in less than 2 minutes. "...That threatened to explode..." Scarlet says off screen before it showed the missile crashed on the upper highway with three cars skidded to a stop. "...At any moment" Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed Sam pointing in a direction for the people to run to. "The situation seemed hopeless as tension mounted and terror spread..." Scarlet says from the TV off screen as it continued showing more civilians running away. "...Throughout the city" Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed Tails flying towards the missile. "However, thanks to the quick thinking of Mr. Miles Prower..." Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed Tails battle the Egg Walker and looking at the insides of the missile with his screwdriver. "Known to his friends as Tails, the danger was ultimately..." Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed Tails cutting the right wire. "...Averted and calm was restored..." Scarlet says from the TV off screen before it showed the crowd cheering for Tails and Tails raising his fist.

Back in the living room of the Thorndyke Mansion, everyone continued watching while Cream and Cheese continued eating donuts. "...By the name of Miles "Tails" Prower!" Scarlet says from the TV off screen.

Back on TV, it shows the Thorndyke Mansion in a birds-eye view. "City officials have announced to honor Mr. Prower for his outstanding bravery by holding a special commendation ceremony for him" Scarlet says from the TV off screen as it showed a crowd of people in front of the front gates of the Thorndyke Mansion.

Back in the living room of the Thorndyke Mansion, Chuck turns to Tails and Tails looks at him. "I didn't know your real name was Miles, Tails" Chuck says before Tails closed his eyes in embarrassment. "I like Tails better" Tails says before Mr. Tanaka fixed his glasses as they shined a bit. Mr. Tanaka then looks closer at Tails. "I agree. "Tails" is much more colorful" Mr. Tanaka says before Tails turns to Mr. Tanaka while sweat dropping. "T...Thanks, Mr. Tanaka" Tails says. Ella was then seen looking out the window. "Are all these strange people outside here to see Tails?" Ella asked before she turns to everyone. Chuck then looks back at Tails. "Hmm... Maybe you might want to lay low with us for a while, Tails, and catch up on your rest?" Chuck asked, "Yeah, we haven't seen you in a long time!" Cream says, "Chao!" Cheese says while Tails looked at them. "I can't stay, Cream. I'm supposed to look for the X-Tornado today!" Tails says before Chuck pounds his fist. "I know!" Chuck says before he raises a finger up. "Just leave it to me, Tails! I've got the perfect idea!" Chuck says.

Outside of the Thorndyke Mansion, the front gate was suddenly opened, making the crowd gasped. Ella was then seen walking and strolling with a baby carriage towards the crowd. Ella stops as she noticed the crowd. "Hello!" Ella says as she winks. "Huh?" the crowd asked, "Pardon me" Ella says as she continued walking with the crowd giving her space. "Time to walk the little one!" Ella says before the crowd looked disappointed. "Hey, lady, you sure you're not hidin' Tails in that thing?" a man asked before Ella gasped. "Oh dear!" Ella says, "I think you're pullin' a fast one!" another man says before the first man raises his fist up. "We demand to see what you've got in there!" the first man says, "Show us, show us, show us, show us!" the crowd says, "Well, all right, I will show you... but he's very shy" Ella says as she looks to the right. Ella lifts the blind and it revealed Mr. Tanaka as a baby in disguise. "Gaga!" Mr. Tanaka says before the crowd gasped. "Gaga! Gaga!" Mr. Tanaka says, "Isn't he a handsome little pumpkin pie!?" Ella asked before she moves close to the cameraman's camera. "He looks just like his daddy!" Ella says before she turns her head around. "If his father really did look like him..." Ella says before she continued walking while strolling the baby carriage.

In an alleyway in Station Square, Ella was holding her dress while looking down. "Come on out, Tails, the coast is clear!" Ella says as it revealed Tails was hiding underneath Ella's clothes. Tails then looks up at Ella. "That was pretty close, Ella... but we fooled 'em!" Tails says before he goes up to the baby carriage. "You make a great baby, Mr. Tanaka!" Tails says, "Glad to be of help, Tails. Ga!" Mr. Tanaka says. Tails, Ella and Mr. Tanaka step out of the alleyway with Tails waving at them. "Bye!" Tails says before he ran on the sidewalks of Station Square.

Back outside of Final Egg, Amy and Lily stepped outside. "Doesn't look like your family is around here. We'll have to try again tomorrow, Lily" Amy says before Lily chirps sadly. "Don't worry, Lily. I'm sure we'll find them in no time" Amy says before Lily chirps happily. Amy and Lily then began walking away from Final Egg.

At Steven's Castle Mansion, birds were chirping off screen while the X-Tornado was seen parked.

Inside Steven's Castle Mansion, Steven was in the study room with a Whiteboard that had written information and picture examples based on the different events he encountered with in the past in Mystic Ruins, the Knuckles Tribe, Tikal, the Chaos', the Master Emerald, the Chaos Emeralds and Chaos. The sections were seen eventually going in order as Steven was sticking the last info paper underneath the last paper that had the fired disaster happening. Steven then rubs the sweat off his head. "Phew! Now that I got all that drawn and written down. It's time to go over with what I know so far" Steven says before he looks at the picture that had Mystic Ruins, the Lost World Temple and the Knuckles Tribe members. "So thousands of years ago, Knuckles was the name of a tribe of Echidnas that resided in the sections that are currently ancient in Mystic Ruins. They used to be a peaceful clan until the death of the Chief's mother aka Tikal's grandmother took place" Steven says off screen before it shows a picture of how Steven would picture Pachacamac standing on a stand with a crown on his head. "Because of that, the Chief wanted nothing more than power from greed. The Chief and his men have invaded other territories to expand the tribe and make them stronger" Steven says off screen before another pictures shows the 7 Chaos Emeralds. "Eventually in their time, they heard about the 7 Chaos Emeralds that can grant them even greater power" Steven says off screen before another pictures shows the Master Emerald Alter. "From what they didn't know was that there was an ancient guardian protecting the Emeralds and their home" Steven says off screen before another picture shows Tikal. "The Chief's daughter that was the princess of the Knuckles Tribe: Tikal also heard about the Chaos Emeralds on her own..." Steven says off screen.

A flashback shows Steven's first encounter with Tikal in Mystic Ruins over 3000 years ago. "Tikal heard about them from the chant that was given to her by her grandmother before she died..." Steven says off screen.

Another flashback shows Steven and Knuckles looking at Tikal talking to Pachacamac from afar in their first encounter to the past. "She didn't like her father's decision regarding the Chaos Emeralds and for their use..." Steven says off screen.

Another flashback shows Tikal and Steven at the Master Emerald Alter first time meeting the Chaos' and Chaos. "So she decided to visit the Alter and was greeted by the guardians children: the Chaos' and a small glimpse of their guardian that rose from the waters..." Steven says off screen.

Another flashback shows Tikal and Steven watching the Chaos' sing at the Master Emerald Alter. "She was a bit surprised by its encounter at first, but she eventually became friends with its children and slowly gain the guardian's trust..." Steven says off screen.

Another flashback shows Steven and Tikal looking up at the Master Emerald Alter and seeing the Master Emerald. "Eventually, the guardian gave her permission to enter the Alter where the Emerald that controls the 7 Emeralds was resided: The Master Emerald..." Steven says off screen.

Another flashback shows Steven and Knuckles watching Tikal talk to the Master Emerald. "After Tikal was given the full trust, she tried warning the guardian about her father and his men arriving to take the 7 Emeralds. She thought it was best for everyone to evacuate, but the Master Emerald simply couldn't leave its children's sacred home..." Steven says off screen.

Back to reality, Steven saw that the next picture had a "?" sign on it and there was no information written down. "There's still no evidence on what happened after and how it's taking effect currently" Steven says.

Another flashback shows the Master Emerald Alter in flames. "However it happened, it ended it in a disastrous matter I won't forget..." Steven says off screen before it showed Tikal looking at the sight in shock.

Back to reality, Steven continued. "Whatever Eggman did to discovered Chaos is yet another mystery. The same way with that Orb too. Whatever that Orb is, it's really bugging me. It's been following and guiding me to different places that are related to the events that are happening right now, but why me? Why does the Orb fly to me and not the others? Something's definitely up with that Orb and I need to figure all this out with the time I have" Steven says before he sighs and sits down on a chair. Steven then looked up a bit after a few seconds. "Wait... That Orb has been showing me past events that occur when Tikal's around... Unless..." Steven says before he looks surprised. "No... That's impossible... Unless I'm going crazy right here, but could... Could that Orb... Be..." Steven says before he looks at the picture of Tikal. "No. It can't be... There's no way... It is... The Orb is... Huh?" Steven asked as he heard a door and saw the door opening to reveal E-77 Lucky. E-77 Lucky beeped and walked up to Steven. "Oh. Hey, Lucky. How are you doing?" Steven asked as he rubs E-77 Lucky's head. "Beep, beep, beep. Beep, beep, beep, beep?" E-77 Lucky asked and Steven sighs. "I'm alright, Lucky. I've just been doing a lot of thinking lately, but I'm okay. I promise" Steven says and smiles. E-77 Lucky then turns to the window before going up to it. E-77 Lucky then turns to Steven while pointing at the window. "Hmm? What's wrong?" Steven asked before he goes up to the window. Steven goes up to the window and saw that E-77 Lucky was pointing at the X-Tornado. "Oh yeah, that's the X-Tornado. I brought it back with me because I was too tired to bring it back to Tails' Workshop and run all the way back" Steven says before he looks at his watch. "And you know what? I should do that right now. I need to get some fresh air after this morning. I'll see you later, Lucky" Steven says as he patted and E-77 Lucky's head and walked to the door. Steven stopped and turns around to look at the "?" paper. "Hmm..." Steven says before he walks out the room and closes the door.

Back outside of Steven's Castle Mansion, the X-Tornado's engines started and took off in the skies.

MYSTIC RUINS

At an mountain area in Mystic Ruins, E-102 Gamma was seen flying before landing on the ground. "He doesn't mean to be bad!" Amy says off screen, "I can't let you destroy Gamma"Steven says off screen before E-102 Gamma moves forward a bit. "It's Eggman that's making him act this way!" Amy says off screen "He's actually not bad" Steven says off screen before E-102 Gamma moves a bit again. "Eggman..." E-102 Gamma says.

Inside E-102 Gamma's eyes, a green image was showing Dr. Eggman sitting down and looking at the readers. "Dr. Eggman..." E-102 Gamma says off screen.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it continues. "Gamma's master... Why?" E-102 Gamma asked before its eyes flashed yellow.

Back inside E-102 Gamma's eyes, another green image shows a replay of the rest of the E-100 Series Robots disappearing in the light, E-101 Beta being rebuilt and E-102 Gamma looking down at the spare parts.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it's eyes flashed yellow a few times. "Delta... Epsilon... Zeta" E-102 Gamma says.

Back inside E-102 Gamma's eyes, Another green image shows a replay of Amy protecting E-102 Gamma from the battle with Sonic on the Egg Carrier. "Leave him alone, Sonic!" Amy says before the breeze flows a bit. Steven was seen looking at Sonic while next to E-102 Gamma. "Everyone deserves a second chance" Steven says before he and Amy were seen looking at E-102 Gamma. "You both saved my life... Why?" E-102 Gamma asked, "Because we wanted to. I'd said we'd be friends the next time we met so we're just returning the favor" Amy says, "Get going, Gamma. You're free now" Steven says.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it's eyes flashed again. "Friends..." E-102 Gamma says.

Back inside E-102 Gamma's eyes, yet another green image shows Lily with her family while Lily chirped off screen. Another replay shows the rest of the E-100 Series Robots disappearing in the light again. Another image shows Steven and Amy looking at E-102 Gamma was seen before it switches to Dr. Eggman sitting and looking at the readers. "Oh, thank goodness you're all right" Amy says off screen before it shows another replay of Steven and Amy checking on E-102 Gamma with Lily and Tails behind them. "You were knocked for quite a loop. We were afraid you might never wake up" Amy says before it shows Steven waving upwards. Good luck again, Gamma. I'll see you soon!" Steven says. Suddenly, beeping was heard as the replays and images were shown at a faster pace before it stopped on the one with Dr. Eggman looking at the readers. "Dr. Robotnik... not friend... Master registration..." E-102 Gamma says off screen before it shows a "NO NEED" sign in front of the picture. "Delete!" E-102 Gamma says off screen before it shows Dr. Eggman's image being digitally erased. "Deleted!" E-102 Gamma says off screen before the screen goes black.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it's eyes flashed once again. "Must help friends... E-Series... Must save them..." E-102 Gamma says before it takes off away from the rocked mountain area.

Above Mystic Ruins, the X-Tornado was seen flying above the area.

Inside the X-Tornado, Steven was looking at the radar map. "It should be around here somewhere. Huh?" Steven asked as he looks down to the left.

Back above Mystic Ruins, Sonic was seen walking through the forest.

Back inside the X-Tornado, Steven smiled a bit. "Hey, that's Sonic. I better go see him" Steven says before he turns to the joystick.

Back outside of the X-Tornado, the X-Tornado was seen descending down towards the forest in Mystic Ruins.

In the forest of Mystic Ruins, the X-Tornado was seen landed in the area.

With Sonic, he was walking around the Mystic Ruins forest. "Hey, Sonic!" Steven says off screen before Sonic stopped. "Huh?" Sonic turns around to see Steven running up to him. Sonic then smiles. "Hey, Steven! What's up?" Sonic asked before Steven stopped in front of Sonic. "What happened, Sonic? I haven't seen you since the Egg Carrier went down" Steven says, "I tried going after Eggman, but he got away and left me in the dust. Come on. We can chat as we walk" Sonic says, "Alright" Steven says as he and Sonic walked through the Mystic Ruins forest. "So you spent the night here in Mystic Ruins?" Steven asked, "Pretty much. I wanted to recover after everything that happened yesterday" Sonic says, "Yeah. Yesterday was a really long day. I'm just glad we got everything we needed to get done in one day" Steven says, "Yeah. It sure was crazy. How you've been recently, Steven?" Sonic asked, "I've been good for the most part. Now that everything's calmed down for a bit, I've been doing more research about Chaos" Steven says, "Really? Did you discover anything new?" Sonic asked, "Yeah. A lot actually. You see. I..." Steven says before he was cut off as he noticed something. "Hmm? What's wrong?" Sonic asked, "Look" Steven says as he pointed forward. Sonic looks forward to see that he and Steven came across the Lost World Temple. "What is that place?" Sonic asked, "That's the temple me and Knuckles searched in for the pieces of the Master Emerald" Steven says. Suddenly, the Orb flew from behind the Lost World Temple and flew to Sonic and Steven. Sonic and Steven looked at the Orb in surprised. "It's that Orb!" Sonic says, "Your right. I haven't seen it in awhile actually" Steven says before the Orb flies around Sonic and Steven. "Hmm? What the..." Sonic says before the Orb goes to the entrance of the Lost World Temple. "Oh. I think it's trying to show us something!" Sonic says as he blinked his eyes. "Then let's go take a look" Steven says before he and Sonic nod at each other. "Oh!" Sonic says before he and Steven ran up the steps and entered the Lost World Temple.

LOST WORLD

Inside the hallway of Lost World, the Orb was flying through the hallways while Sonic and Steven followed it while looking around. "This place looks really deserted" Sonic says, "Yeah. Doesn't look like anyone's step foot into this place in a long time, but something about it seems... disturbing" Steven says.

In a room of the Lost World Temple, the room looked ancient as there were lighted orbs on stands around the room. There also appeared to be a pool of water surrounding the area. The Orb, Sonic and Steven then entered the room while Sonic and Steven. "Me and Knuckles didn't go this far in the Temple" Steven says as he looked up to see statues that looked like ancient reptiles. From the other side of the room was an entrance that had a waterfall blocking it. The waterfall was pouring out from a dragon's head statue. The Orb then flies through the waterfall and enters another dark hallway. Sonic and Steven stopped in front of the waterfall as they watched the Orb. "Oh" Sonic says, "What do you think the Orb's leading us to?" Steven asked, "I don't know, but be ready if anything" Sonic says, "Right. Let's go" Steven says before he and Sonic walk through the waterfall. "Well... I guess you cross the bridge when you come to it" Sonic says in his head as he and Steven walked into the dark hallway. Suddenly, a group wild Chaos' appeared and watched Sonic and Steven walk in the hallway while looking sad.

In another hallway, Sonic and Steven continued following the Orb forward. "I don't know why, but I'm feeling nervous for some reason" Steven says, "I know. This place is giving me the creeps too" Sonic says, "It's almost like what happened when we were dealing with King Boom Boo, but this is on a different level of de ja vu" Steven says, "Hmm" Sonic says as he and Steven continued walking.

At a purple staircase, Sonic and Steven walked down the stairs.

In a big room that was known as the Center of the Ruins, the purple staircase lead to a path that had fire torches on each side and a pool of water surrounding the area. The Orb continued leading Sonic and Steven as sounds of water drops and movement around the pool of water. Suddenly at the end of the path, there was a big ancient picture that showed what looked like the water monster from before rampaging. Sonic, Steven and the Orb stopped before the Orb disappeared. Sonic and Steven gasped before they sweat drop. "Whoa! What's this...?" Sonic asked as he and Steven looked at the big ancient picture before taking a few steps forward while there was a silent monstrous roar. "Woah..." Steven says, "A mural picture of a sea monster?" Sonic asked before stopping and crossing his arms. "Kinda creepy" Sonic says, "Yeah..." Steven says before he takes a few steps forward to the big ancient picture. Steven slowly placed his hand on it. "This... This is giving me goosebumps. To think someone would come across a sign that has a really dark meaning behind it. With everything we've been through recently, you would think there would be a source to wonder how all this even happened. I think we just discovered part of it, Sonic..." Steven says nervously as he and Sonic continue looking at the big ancient picture. "...I'm afraid you're right, Steven" Sonic says, "When anger and..." Tikal says off screen, causing Sonic and Steven to look surprised. "...Sadness overflow like a mighty ocean, beware the great calamity!" Tikal says off screen before Sonic and Steven look around. "Is there someone there? Come on out. We won't hurt ya" Sonic says, "Tikal? Is that you? Where are you?" Steven asked before Sonic looks at Steven. "Huh? Tikal? Who's that, Steven?" Sonic asked, "Tikal's an..." Steven says before he was cut off by the big ancient pictured glowing brightly. "Whoa!" Sonic says and Steven grunts as they shield themselves as the light got brighter.

At the Master Emerald shrine over 3000 years ago, everywhere was caught in flames like before Sonic and Steven appeared in front of the Master Emerald Alter. "Hey...!" Sonic says and Steven gasped. "W...We're back here again!" Steven says before Sonic looks around. "What's goin' on, Steven? Where are we? This is really weird" Sonic says off screen before Steven turns to Sonic. "Sonic, w...were in the..." Steven says before he was cut off with a gasp as he noticed something. "What's wrong?" Sonic asked before he looks in the direction Steven was looking at. Sonic and Steven look to see Tikal who was seen holding a dead wild Chao at the Master Emerald shrine along with more other wild Chaos' that we're also dead. "Tikal!" Steven says before he runs towards the steps. Sonic watched Steven and grunts before following him up to the steps. Once Steven and Sonic reached the top, they saw Tikal and the dead wild Chaos'. "No..." Steven says before he walks towards the wild Chaos' one at a time. Steven felt each of the wild Chaos' pulse, but felt nothing as they were already dead. "Like before... Dead..." Steven says as he tried to hold his grudge in while rubbing one of the dead wild Chaos'. Sonic watched in surprised before Steven goes up to Tikal. "Tikal... W-What happened...?" Steven asked before Tikal opens her eyes a bit and sees Steven. "Oh, Steven! It's terrible!" Tikal says before she brings the dead wild Chao close to her face. Tikal suddenly brought Steven close too, making Steven get caught in surprise. "My father... And his men came... They came and..." Tikal says before she hiccups a bit. As Steven saw how Tikal was feeling, he suddenly lets out a silent low whimper. "Those Knuckle-headed terrorist...! They caused all of this...! Now Tikal can't do anything anymore!" Steven says in his head as he began to slowly shake. "...How could father do something so terrible? Why did this have to happen?" Tikal asked as she didn't notice Steven shaking a bit. Sonic noticed Steven and looked concern. Steven's eyes were then were slowly turning yellow before a monstrous roar was heard. This caused Tikal to gasped and open her eyes as tears flow down her face. Steven also gasped a bit and it caused his eyes to go back to normal again. "That roar again... Was that...?" Steven asked in his head before he turns to the Master Emerald. Tikal then looks at the Master Emerald as well. "No! I have to stop this!" Tikal says before she sets the dead wild Chao down and lets go of Steven. "Tikal, what are you doing?" Steven asked before Tikal looks at Steven a bit. Tikal stutters before running to the Master Emerald. "I must stop them now!" Tikal says as she got closer to the Master Emerald. "Tikal, wait!" Steven says before a bright light shined from the right, causing him to groan. Sonic also saw the light and grunted before shielding himself. Suddenly, another bright light surrounds the area.

Back outside of the Lost World Temple in the present, the sky was dark and orange and Sonic and Steven were seen looking at the Lost World Temple from outside. "What was that all about? What did we just see? It couldn't have been a dream we were having there..." Sonic says before he noticed Steven shaking a bit. "Steven, what's wrong?" Sonic asked, "...Sonic... We... We were in... The Past..." Steven says, "The Past? Do you know what that's about...?" Sonic asked as Steven continued shaking and whimpered a bit. "Steven... Are... Are you okay?" Sonic asked, "...Sonic, I..." Steven says before he was cut off with Dr. Eggman seen flying in his Egg Mobile and fly past the Lost World Temple. "Hmm?" Sonic asked as he and Steven look up. Sonic then ran after Dr. Eggman a bit. "It's Eggman!" Sonic says and Steven growled towards Dr. Eggman. Dr. Eggman eventually flies away from the Lost World Temple before Sonic stopped and watched. Sonic then narrows his eyes a bit. "What's that fathead floatin' around here for!? Well, there's only one way to find out! Come on, Steven!" Sonic says before he runs ahead. Steven was about to follow Sonic before looking back at the Lost World Temple. Steven grunts before following Sonic's path.

In another part of Mystic Ruins forest, Dr. Eggman continued flying while Sonic and Steven continued running after him on foot. Suddenly, Dr. Eggman flew into trees from above the entrance that leads to Final Egg. Sonic stopped as he saw the Final Egg entrance before Steven stopped next to Sonic shortly. "This must be where he's been hiding for 6 months..." Steven says, "Seems that way. Time to pay a little visit" Sonic says before he turns to Steven. "What do you say, Steven? You're up for it?" Sonic asked before Steven sighs. "Well... What choice do we have? As a matter of fact, I've been wanting to crush Eggman the moment he started all this! So sure!" Steven says as he pounded his fist. "Alright, buddy. Let's do this together. Just like the times when you and me were an unstoppable duo back then. The two of us heroes..." Sonic says before he faces the Final Egg entrance and smirks. "...Against the villains" Sonic says before Steven slowly smirks. "Alright. Let's go!" Steven says before he and Sonic spin and rush towards the Final Egg entrance.

FINAL EGG

Inside Final Egg, Sonic and Steven smashed through the entrance door, causing some debris that came from the door to crumble and fly away. Sonic and Steven stop spinning before a red light flashes inside indicating the alarm was off.

In the control room of Final Egg, Dr. Eggman was sitting and saw Sonic' and Steven's head from the monitors. "How rude! Don't those hedgehogs know how to knock?" Dr. Eggman asked as the alarm continues to blare. Sonic and Steven turn their head and face the monitor camera before Sonic gives a thumbs up. "Oh yeah!" Sonic says in his head before Steven jumped and raised his fist at the camera. This caused glass shattering sounds to be heard and the monitor to go static. Dr. Eggman's chair than lowers to the controls. "I'll have to teach our little friends some manners" Dr. Eggman says before he presses a button. "There!" Dr. Eggman says.

Back with Sonic and Steven, they were running in a hallway of Final Egg. Sonic turns his head towards Steven. "You ready?" Sonic asked, "Let's do this!" Steven says. Suddenly, red dots on pipes shoot out lasers towards Sonic and Steven. Sonic continued running while dodging and Steven did acrobatics to dodge the lasers. This caused the lasers shoot everywhere and cause black smoke to rise. "Wow, you really know how to make a couple of guys feel welcome!" Sonic says, "This must be the VIP entrance!" Steven says as he and Sonic continued running in the hallway and dodging the lasers.

Back in the control room of Final Egg, Dr. Eggman continued watching Sonic from the monitors. "Have some more hospitality!" Dr. Eggman says before he presses another button.

In a circular hallway, Sonic and Steven continued running. Suddenly, the panel on the floor revealed big conveyors. This caused Sonic and Steven to run in place while grunting. "If he wanted a workout session, he should've called in advance!" Steven says while grunting.

Back in the control room of Final Egg, Dr. Eggman laughs before pressing a button.

Back in the conveyor hallway, a giant ball was seen rolling forward. "Here, Sonic and Steven, have a ball!" Dr. Eggman says off screen before Sonic and Steven turn their heads to see the giant ball rolling towards them. "Whoa! I hope he was planning to make a spare!" Steven says before he and Sonic yell as they tried to escape running in place before turning spinning. This caused heat to form underneath Sonic, Steven and on the conveyor. The giant ball was about to hit Sonic and Steven. Sonic and Steven then look at each other. "Spin Mode!" Sonic and Steven said at the same time before they did their spin. Once the ball got close to Sonic and Steven, it stopped as Sonic and Steven were fighting off the giant ball with their spins combined. The giant ball suddenly pushed Sonic and Steven forward and this caused them to bounce all over the hallway a few times before smashing through the closed door at the end.

Back in the control room of Final Egg, Dr. Eggman saw what happened on the monitor. "I'll get you two one of these days!" Dr. Eggman says before he raises his fists, yells and puts his fist down.

Back with Sonic and Steven, they ran in another hallway. "Oh, well, guess we're just too fast for ya!" Sonic says, "Let's go say hi to our host!" Steven says before he and Sonic make a left turn to another route. "Hah!" Bokkun says suddenly appearing up close to the readers. This caused Sonic and Steven to stop running and gasped. Bokkun then taunts Sonic and Steven. "Ha! I scared ya. I scared ya. I scared ya!" Bokkun says, "You'd scare anybody, Bokkun" Sonic says, "Make this quick, Bokkun. We don't have all day" Steven says before Bokkun raises a finger up. "I've got another superimportant message from Dr. Eggman himself" Bokkun says before he forms angry eyes. "You two better pay attention if you know what's good for ya!" Bokkun says before he reaches into his bag and takes out a TV. Bokkun shows Sonic the TV before the TV turns on to reveal Dr. Eggman's face. "All right, Sonic and Steven. The time has come for me to settle my score with you two, once and for all. I think we need to have a man-to-hedgehogs..." Dr. Eggman says from the TV before his glasses shined a bit. "...Chat in the center of Final Egg. My assistant Bokkun will show you the way..." Dr. Eggman says before Dr. Eggman turns to the right on TV. "Make it snappy!" Dr. Eggman says from the TV before the TV turns off. Bokkun groans before he looks down while tears fell down from his eyes. Bokkun then lifts the TV up. "Why I have to do everything around here!" Bokkun says and sobs before he flies away. "Here we go..." Steven says in his head before he and Sonic run off.

In the center of Final Egg, the doors opened to reveal Dr. Eggman controlling a big robot that was known as the Egg Viper in the dimmed room before the lights go brighter. "Well if it isn't the nuisance duo, Sonic and Steven! I'm actually surprised you both made it this far" says before Sonic goes up to the Egg Viper. "Get to the point, Eggman! This better not be another trick" Sonic says, "Come clean right now if you what's good for you!" Steven says before he pounds his fists. "I'm through with tricks for today! Now listen well, hedgehogs, because I've had just about enough of both of you! And especially you, Steven!" Dr. Eggman says.

A flashback shows Sonic spin smashing through the Egg Fort's bridge. "I have been trying to establish my eggsquisitely..." Dr. Eggman says off screen before it shows the Eggfort shoot a beacon in the sky before it explodes.. "...Evil empire..." Dr. Eggman says off screen before it changes to Dr. Eggman's Fortress having an explosion on the top. Dr. Eggman's Fortress was then seen incinerating. "...But you, Sonic have been nothing but a..." Dr. Eggman says off screen before it shows Dr. Eggman's Fortress crumble to the ground with a strong wind, causing sand to fly all over the place. "...Thorn in my side!" Dr. Eggman says off screen before it shows Steven's actions against Dr. Eggman from the very beginning to now. "As for you, Steven! You've been nothing but a hogging rodent that's been making themselves the big shot of society ever since the beginning! And I can't believe I'm about to say this, but not everything is all about you, Hedgehog! How do you think everyone feels when all you think about is the pride for yourself!? You're never gonna learn that your actions have consequences! Consequences that effect other people! Like me and the world around you! When you turned into a monstrous freak of nature, you showed no care from everything and everyone around you and continued following what you think is normal for you! A pure monster in disguise!" Dr. Eggman says off screen before it shows Sonic and Knuckles attacking Chaos 6 at the same time, causing the ice around Chaos 6 and Chaos 6 to shatter with a big splash with Steven, Chris, Big and Froggy flying up. "Every brilliant plan..." Dr. Eggman says off screen before it showed Chaos 6 to splatter all over. "I've put into action including Chaos involved..." Dr. Eggman says off screen as it showed Sonic and Knuckles landing. The screen then changes to the Egg Carrier in it's Battle Mode having explosions going off everywhere with black smoke rising in different areas. "...Has been systematically stymied by your..." Dr. Eggman says off screen before it shows the Egg Carrier tilting to the right. "...Kindergarten cohorts as well!" Dr. Eggman says off screen.

Back to reality, Dr. Eggman continues while raising his fist a bit. "You both have wrecked my wretched plans far too often! But you both won't get in my way again. Do you hear me?" Dr. Eggman asked before Steven raises his fist up. "Listen, I don't care what you say about me, Eggman! It dosen't change who I really am! Sure I may be more than what I normally appear, but know this! For the fact of everything I've done and everything I risked for to set everything right, I'll ALWAYS put my friends or those closest to me first before and not myself at all! I am who I am and that's how it's gonna stay forever! So if you still think I'm just all talk about center of attention, then you're mistaken by a thousand times!" Steven says, "That's right! Your threats aren't gonna scare us off, Eggman! You really think you can get rid of us!?" Sonic asked, "I don't think I can. I know I can!" Dr. Eggman says before the Egg Viper's door closes on him.

EGG VIPER

Back inside the center of Final Egg, the Egg Viper activated its spiked wheels before hovering up a bit. "Get a load of this!" Dr. Eggman says off screen before the Egg Viper shoots out a laser, causing Sonic and Steven to jump out the way while grunting. Sonic and Steven continued jumping, running and dodging the laser at it was incinerating the floor with crumbles and smoke flying everywhere. Sonic and Steven then jump up.

Inside Egg Viper, Dr. Eggman saw this. "You both seem a bit jumpy. What's wrong? Can't take the heat in Final Egg?" Dr. Eggman asked.

Back in the center of Final Egg, Sonic and Steven land and looks up at Egg Viper. "We can take whatever you dish out!" Sonic says before he does his spin while Egg Viper floats a bit higher. As Sonic tried to smash Egg Viper, he was bounced back while the Egg Viper was making its way to an opening. "Where do you think you're going!?" Steven asked before he jumps and makes his way up towards the Egg Viper. As the Egg Viper continued flying up, Steven eventually grabbed it by its tail. "Gotcha!" Steven says before he climbing on the Egg Viper.

Back inside the Egg Viper, it was shaking a bit while Dr. Eggman watched. "Hoo ha ha! See if you can make it through here, Steven!" Dr. Eggman says.

Back inside the enter of Final Egg, Steven continued climbing before reaching Egg Viper's head. Steven lands on Egg Viper's head before doing a spin. Steven then smashes against the Egg Viper and this caused the Egg Viper to tumble with fire and smoke flying. "Huaa!" Dr. Eggman says off screen before the Egg Viper was pushed into the opening while Steven flew downwards. Steven lands before Sonic ran up to him. "You okay?" Sonic asked, "Never better" Steven says before he and Sonic look up at the opening. "Coward! What's the matter? Had enough?" Sonic asked before the vents below him and Steven began to glow. Sonic and Steven then gasped as he looks down. "Get down!" Steven says before he pushed Sonic and himself out the way while grunting as the Egg Viper break through the vents with its spiked wheels. "Ha ha!" Dr. Eggman says off screen. Sonic and Steven slowly get back up before looking to see the Egg Viper charging its laser gun. "Whoa oh!" Steven says as he and Sonic were about to run, but the Egg Viper fired towards them and caused a big explosion in the process. This caused Sonic and Steven to get pushed from the explosion while screaming. "Ha ha!" Dr. Eggman says off screen before Sonic and Steven crash on the ground with grunts. The Egg Viper's tail was then seen holding Sonic and Steven against the ground.

Back inside Egg Viper, Dr. Eggman saw this. "Nothing like a good game of squash! It's no use for you, Hedgehogs! Give up!" Dr. Eggman says.

Back inside the center of Final Egg, Egg Viper's tail slams on Sonic and Steven again while Sonic and Steven tried to get loose. "Talk about getting the belt for punishment!" Sonic says, "What's even scarier is that it's a spiked one! But..." Steven says before he gets a good grip on the Egg Viper's tail. "...If you can overcome anything sharp..." Steven says as he began to slowly lift the Egg Viper's tail off him and Sonic.

Back inside Egg Viper, Dr. Eggman gasped. "Huaa! They're not gonna get away with this!" Dr. Eggman says.

Back inside the center of Final Egg, Steven was seen holding Egg Viper's tail above him and Sonic. "...Then you can overcome anything!" Steven says. Sonic took the chance to smash Egg Viper's tail with his spin, causing pieces to fly everywhere. Sonic and Steven started attacking Egg Viper all over with their spins and this caused the Egg Viper to break apart easily with small explosions. The remains of the Egg Viper eventully crash on the ground. Sonic and Steven land on the ground before a huge xplosion goes off on Egg Viper and behind Sonic and Steven. Sonic and Steven stand up and watch the fire and smoke all over Egg Viper and the center of Final Egg. Dr. Eggman was then seen flying out in his Egg Mobile with a black smoke trail. "You will pay for this, Sonic and Steven!" Dr. Eggman says before he flies higher. "Mark my words!" Dr. Eggman says as an opening in the ceiling opens up to reveal an exit with a nightly sky. "You'll pay" Dr. Eggman says before he disappears in the night sky. Suddenly, more explosions were going off in the Final Egg and it caused more destruction, flames and smoke to rise. Sonic then scratches his nose before looking at Steven. "Pretty thrilling, huh, partner?" Sonic asked, "You can say that again" Steven says, "Well it's time to get outta this place, and fast. Let's use the Double Boost" Sonic says, "It's been awhile since we pulled that move, but okay. Let's do it!" Steven says before they jump up with their left hands glowing. Sonic and Steven then High five before spinning.

Back inside the center of Final Egg, Sonic and Steven were about to fly out. "Double Boost!" Sonic and Steven said at the same time before they fly up towards the ceiling exit. As Sonic and Steven flew, explosions continued going off around them.

Back outside of Final Egg, Sonic and Steven were seen flying out before Final Egg lets out a bright light and an huge explosion, causing more black smoke and debris to fly everywhere in Mystic Ruins.

Fist Bump (Sonic Forces) by NateWantsToBattle (feat. Andrew Stein) - Only Chorus ends

Above Mystic Ruins forest, black smoke was rising from what used to be Final Egg.

From upper ground in Mystic Ruins, Sonic and Steven were looking at the black smoke from afar. "Now that Eggman's base is destroyed, we can take it easy once again" Sonic says, "Yeah, but it's not over yet. It's only the calm before the storm" Steven says before Sonic looks at him. "What do you mean, Steven?" Sonic asked, "We may have defeated Eggman, but Chaos is still out there somewhere" Steven says, "But we defeated Chaos. That creature can't do anything anymore" Sonic asked, "Yes, but like I said, Chaos is a god, Sonic. Gods can't die or be defeated easily" Steven says, "Hmm. Steven what was that after we saw that mural?" Sonic asked before Steven flinched a bit. "The past, Sonic. What we saw are the causes that are happening currently. I've been putting the pieces together and it's almost finish. I just wonder what actually lead to this Disaster..." Steven says as he looks up in the sky while Sonic continued looking at him. Steven then turns to Sonic. "Sonic, I'm gonna head back home. The X-Tornado's parked around here. Will you be okay to stay another night here to watch over it, please?" Steven asked, "Sure. No problem, Steven. I'll take it easy from here, but listen, I know you're feeling sensitive about what we saw earlier, but remember we'll support you if anything. Don't forget that" Sonic says before giving a thumbs up. Steven slowly gives a thumbs up before running off. Sonic watched Steven run as this puts an end to Sonic's story in Sonic Adventure.

E-101 Mark II

The next day on Angel Island, Knuckles was looking at the Master Emerald alter from the bottom of the steps. Knuckles then runs up the steps before he stops in front of the 97% completed Master Emerald. Knuckles walks closer to the Master Emerald he raises his hands out. As Knuckles did this, he summoned the last 3 pieces of the Master Emerald. Knuckles then throws them up before they slowly descend towards the Master Emerald. As the last 3 pieces go up to the Master Emerald, the Master Emerald glows before the rest of the pieces began to fit in together. "This should do it!" Knuckles says off screen before the Master Emerald was seen 100% completed. "Perfect. All is well, now! The Master Emerald and the island have been restored" Knuckles says before he walks away from the Master Emerald a bit. As Knuckles walked away a bit, the Master Emerald began to glow brighter.

Outside of Angel Island, Angel Island began to rise itself out of the ocean before it was fully out with waterfalls falling from the bottom. After a few seconds, Angel Island was now seen fully floating.

Back on Angel Island, Knuckles was seen sitting on top of the steps while having his eyes closed. "I'll probably be on this floating island forever. Guarding the Master Emerald, again. I may not know the whole story behind this. But perhaps it's better that way. I am at peace once more" Knuckles says off screen as this puts an end to Knuckles the Echidna's story in Sonic Adventure.

MYSTIC RUINS

Back at the mountain area of Mystic Ruins, E-102 Gamma was flying before it's eyes flashed.

Inside E-102 Gamma's eyes, there was a map radar and a lock on radar. "Searching for E-100 Series Robots" E-102 Gamma says off screen before it stopped as there was a signal on North-East of the map. "Data received" E-102 Gamma says off screen before it scans the signal's location. "Location, Windy Valley" E-102 Gamma says off screen.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it made a quick U turn on the left and took off.

At the docks, Amy and Lily were seen walking around. Amy and Lily then walked up to barrels. "Your family must still be on the Egg Carrier, Lily" Amy says before Lily whimpers. "There's gotta be something we can do" Amy says before she sighs, sits on the floor and closes her eyes against a barrel while Lily continues chirping. Suddenly, Froggy hoped in front of Amy. "Egg Carrier? What's that? I never heard of it!" Big says off screen. "That's where Dr. Eggman's hiding Lily's family" Amy says while still having her eyes closed. "Oh, yeah!" Big says off screen before Amy gasped while having her eyes open. "You mean, up in the sky..." Big says off screen before Froggy takes a hop and lands on Amy's legs. "...Where they took Froggy? Sure I know that place!" Big says off screen before Amy leans forward to Froggy. "Uh, did you just say something?" Amy asked, "No!" Big says off screen before Amy looks up in confusion. "Froggy doesn't talk! That was me!" Big says off screen before he makes his appearance and walks towards Amy, Lily and Froggy. "Hi, little girl!" Big says before Amy gasped. "Who are you?" Amy asked, "My name's Big, 'cause I'm big. And this little fella's Froggy, 'cause he's a frog" Big says before he closes his eyes happily. "He's my pal!" Big says before he takes a few steps forward and Amy closes her eyes happily. "Nice to meet you, Big! I'm Amy! You must be friends of Steven, right?" Amy says before they both open their eyes. "That's right! He helped me save Froggy!" Big says, "Yep! That sounds like Steven alright" Amy says before Big turns to the left while pointing to the left. "Hey, Amy, is that the Egg Carrier over there?" Big asked.

At the ocean, the Egg Carrier was seen sitting in the ocean. "No way!" Amy says off screen.

WINDY VALLEY

Above Windy Valley, E-102 Gamma was flying before it's eyes flashed.

On the ground of Windy Valley, E-103 Delta was seen standing while looking damaged. E-102 Gamma lands on the ground before E-103 Delta aims it's laser gun at E-102 Gamma.

E103δ

Back in Windy Valley, E-103 Delta fired at E-102 Gamma before E-102 Gamma jumped out the way. "Delta. Stop" E-102 Gamma says before it fired back at E-103 Delta. Since E-103 Delta was too damaged to stay on guard, it was a quick battle as E-102 Gamma fired at E-103 Delta one last time. E-103 Delta crashed on the ground before it shoots out sparks and light before it exploded. E-102 Gamma then goes up to the destroyed E-103 Delta.

A green image shows a silhouette of a figure that looked like a bird was flying.

Back in Windy Valley, E-103 Delta's flashed before E-102 Gamma places it's hand close to E-103 Delta's face. Suddenly, wired plug ins popped out of E-102 Gamma's fingers and they plugged into E-103 Delta's ports on it's head. This caused E-103 Delta to flash it's eyes again.

Inside E-103 Delta's head, there was a green static screen before it stopped. A beep was then heard as a title called "EQUAL" appeared. Dr. Eggman's image of him sitting while looking at the readers appeared before the title "NO NEED" appeared. "Must reprogram Delta" E-102 Gamma says off screen as Dr. Eggman's imagae began to be erased digitally on E-102 Delta's memory. "Delete master" E-102 Gamma says off screen.

Back in Windy Valley, sparks flew around E-103 Delta before the capsule that had the little bunny from before flies out. The capsule disappears and the bunny lands on the ground. The bunny then hops away before E-103 Delta stopped shooting out sparks. E-102 Gamma then stands up. "Master deleted. All data erased. Shutdown and rescue has been completed. E-103 Delta safe" E-102 Gamma says before it's eyes flashed again.

Back inside E-102 Gamma's head, it pulled out the map again as there was another signal in another area. "Epsilon. Location detected. Location, Red Mountain. Must delete master" E-102 Gamma says off screen.

RED MOUNTAIN

In a cave of Red Mountain, E-102 Gamma was looking at E-104 Epsilon who was aiming it's laser gun at E-102 Gamma in front of a carved Dr. Eggman.

E104ε

Back in the cave of Red Mountain, E-104 Epsilon fired at E-102 Gamma before E-102 Gamma jumped out the way. "Epsilon. Stop" E-102 Gamma says before it fired back at E-104 Epsilon. Since E-10r Epsilon was also too damaged to stay on guard, it was a quick battle as E-102 Gamma fired at E-104 Epsilon one last time. E-104 Epsilon crashed on the ground before it shoots out sparks and light before it exploded. E-102 Gamma then goes up to the destroyed E-104 Epsilon. E-104 Epsilon's eyes flashed before turning to normal. "Master deleted. All data erased. Shutdown and rescue has been completed. E-104 Epsilon safe. E-105 Zeta... and E-101 Beta... location unknown" E-102 Gamma says before it turns to the right. E-102 Gamma looks at the dirt carved Dr. Eggman. "Gamma must find E-105 Zeta and E-101 Beta" E-102 Gamma says before it aims it's laser gun at the dirt carved Dr. Eggman. E-102 Gamma fires it's laser and this caused the dirt, rocks and smoke to fly around the dirt carved Dr. Eggman. After the smoke clears, the dirt carved Dr. Eggman was destroyed.

Back inside E-102 Gamma's head, it shows a replay of E-102 Gamma looking at E-101 Beta that was being rebuilt.

Back with E-102 Gamma, it's eyes flashed. "Perhaps... E-105 Zeta and E-101 Beta are still in Egg Carrier" E-102 Gamma says.

Outside of the cave of Red Mountain, E-102 Gamma flies out and in the air of Red Mountain.

Back at the ocean, the Egg Carrier was still sitting in the ocean. Suddenly, a boat was heading towards the Egg Carrier with Amy rowing and Lily looking out. "Don't worry, we'll get your brother and sister out in no time, Lily" Amy says.

At Station Square, Steven was seen walking near the docks while eating an apple. "I don't know what to do anymore. With Eggman defeated, Chaos possibly roaming around, the Orb sending me to the past, Froggy being found and Angel Island floating again, what am I suppose to do now? I don't how I'll be able to find Chaos and it probably won't matter if I don't know what to do" Steven says before he takes a bite from his apple. "I guess I'll have to stay alerted if anything pops up, but if only it were that simple... I haven't seen that Orb since and I'm getting worried. What are we suppose to do with Chaos now? Huh?" Steven asked before he heard a hovering noise. Steven looks up to see E-102 Gamma flying. "Hey, that's Gamma! What's he doing here?" Steven asked before he saw E-102 Gamma flying towards the Egg Carrier that was seen in the ocean from afar. "It's the Egg Carrier. Gamma must be doing something. Hmm. I better go have a look and see" Steven says before he finishes his apple and runs towards E-102 Gamma's direction.

At the docks, Steven stops in front of a boat. "I'll make my way to the Egg Carrier with this" Steven says.

EGG CARRIER

Inside the Egg Carrier in a hallway, Amy and Lily were walking while Amy held Lily with her arm. Amy then looks at Lily. "Who knows, Lily, maybe the nice robot freed them just like he'd freed us" Amy says before Lily looks at Amy while chirping. "Yeah... I bet they're flying around looking for you right now" Amy says before she looks forward while Lily chirped again. "But we'll find them, no matter what!" Amy says.

Outside on the Egg Carrier, E-102 Gamma was seen flying towards a closed door. E-102 Gamma lands before it's eyes flashed.

Back inside E-102 Gamma's head, it was scanning the door with it's scanner. "Begin search for data on E- 100 Series Robot: Zeta... ... Accessing data... " E-102 Gamma sats off screen before it's scanner picked up something and shows the information. "Data located! Location, Hot Shelter: E-100 Series Robot location confirmed" E-102 Gamma says off screen before it's scanner faced the center.

Back outside on the Egg Carrier, E-102 Gamma aimed it's laser gun and fired it. E-102 Gamma shot the closed door before the smoke clears and an opening was made. E-102 Gamma then walks inside. After E-102 Gamma went inside, Steven was seen landing on the ground before looking around. "Alright, let's see what we got here" Steven says before he makes his way towards the opening.

Back inside the Egg Carrier, Amy and Lily continued walking. "This place is so big. I don't know where to start looking..." Amy says before Lily whimpers while having her eyes closed. "Huh?" Amy asked while looking at Lily. "Oh, don't be discouraged, Lily! We won't give up, no matter how big..." Amy says before Lily opens her eyes and looks at Amy. "...This old ship is, will we?" Amy asked before Lily chirps, closes her eyes and flaps her wings happily close to Amy, This caused Amy to close her eyes happily. Amy and Lily then open their eyes as they continue walking before making a left turn down a hallway.

In another hallway of the Egg Carrier, it looked a bit damaged with a pile of debris on the ground. Suddenly, the pile of debris began to move. Suddenly, E-100 ZERO pops out of the debris along with Decoe and Bocoe who have blank eyes. "Huh!?" Decoe and Bocoe asked at the same time. "Where are we, Bocoe!?" Decoe asked, "I don't know, but I think I've got a dent in my database" Bocoe says, "Am I malfunctioning... Or are we back in the middle of the Egg Carrier?" Decoe asked, "I think it is the Egg Carrier...!" Beoce says as they didn't notice Amy and Lily in front of them. "But how is that possible, Bocoe?" Decoe asked, "Simple! You see, the Egg Carrier emits a very strong magnetic current! The current, when combined with the laws of gravity, can become" Bocoe says before he and Decoe noticed Amy and Lily. "Oh, boy!" Bocoe says before he and Decoe look at each other. "Is that who I think it is?" Bocoe asked before he and Decoe look at Amy and Lily again. "It's Amy!" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time, causing Amy and Lily to freak out. "Quick!" Decoe says as Amy looked at him. "Grab them before they get away again!" Decoe says. Amy gasped before she grabs Lily and runs off. "Oh! Hold on right, Lily!" Amy says as Decoe, Bocoe and E-100 ZERO were chasing her and Lily. "Come back here, you!" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time.

Back with Steven, he was walking in the hallways of the Egg Carrier before footsteps were heard. "Now what?" Steven asked before gets ready. Steven goes to the left and sees Amy and Lily running away from E-100 ZERO, Decoe and Bocoe. "Amy and Lily!?" Steven asked before Amy and Lily spot Steven. "Steven, help us!" Amy says and Lily chirps. Steven was about to take action before he saw a computer room opened. Steven then turns back towards Amy and Lily. "Guys, in there!" Steven says before he runs towards the computer room.

Inside the computer room, Steven entered, Amy jumped while whimpering and Lily flew in the computer room. Amy lands, gets back up and runs back to the door. Amy pressed a button on a control panel and it closed the door.

From the other side of the computer room, Decoe, Bocoe and E-100 ZERO were there while Decoe was knocking on the door. "Open this door!" Decoe says before he tried to pull the door open. "You're not allowed in there!" Decoe says before he kicks the door

Back in the computer room, Amy was catching her breath while Steven and Lily looked at her. "Whew! That was a close one!" Amy says before she looks at Steven. "Steven, what are you doing here?" Amy asked, "I could ask you and Lily the same thing, Amy" Steven says, "Me and Lily are trying to find her siblings and we think they're somewhere in the Egg Carrier" Amy says and Lily chirps. "Really? Did you guys run into Gamma?" Steven asked, "Gamma? I don't think so. Why, Steven?" Amy asked, "Because I saw him entering the Egg Carrier and was wondering what he was doing" Steven says, "Oh. Well whatever he's doing, I hope it's something good. Huh?" Amy asked before she and Lily looked around the room. "What's this place...?" Amy asked while Steven looked around "This must be the computer room. Maybe we can find out more about Gamma and his robot comrades" Steven says before he went up to the computer and began typing.

HOT SHELTER

In a foggy room of Hot Shelter, E-102 Gamma walked in the room. In the middle of the room was E-105 Zeta, but was heavenly rebuild and upgraded on a stand while purple sparks were flying around from the upper and lower lights. "Zeta!" E-102 Gamma says as it looked up at E-105 Zeta.

E105𝛇

Back in E-105 Zeta's room in Hot Shelter, E-105 Zeta began firing it's missiles at E-102 Gamma while E-102 Gamma ran and dodged. "Zeta. Stop" E-102 Gamma says before he fires at E-105 Zeta. After firing at E-105 Zeta a few times, E-105 Zeta had sparks flying and lights popping out before it's head exploded.

Back in the computer room, Steven, Amy and Lily were looking at a computer that showed information on E-102 Gamma. "It's Gamma..." Amy says off screen before another slide shows E-101 Beta. "This must be one of his comrades. E-101... Beta" Steven says off screen. Then suddenly, an image of E-101 Beta's finished rebuilt was shown. "Wait a minute... Is this the finished version?" Steven asked off screen before it showed another slide image shows E-102 Gamma and E-101 Beta next to each other, but there was also box in the middle that had two birds that resemble Lily. "That's Lily's family!" Amy says off screen before it shows the birds being pointed at E-102 Gamma and E-101 Beta. "That's it!" Steven says, "Ah! Look, Lily...!" Amy says before she blinks her eyes. "They're in the robots! Quick!" Amy says before she, Lily and Steven go up to the control panel on the wall. "Let's get out of here!" Amy says before she pressed a button. This caused the doors to open and for Decoe and Bocoe to fly in the room while screaming. "Ouch!" Decoe and Bocoe said at the same time as they were then seen crashed and damaged under the computers. "Yikes..." Steven says. Suddenly. E-100 ZERO's silhouette was seen from behind Amy, Steven and Lily. "Huh?" Amy asked as she, Steven and Lily turn to E-100 ZERO as E-100 ZERO looked like it was gonna grab them.

ZERO

Back in the computer room, Steven and Amy saw it before jumping. "Not this robot again!" Steven says, "Don't even think about it, you idiot!" Amy says before she jumps up and pulls out her Piko Piko Hammer. Amy then slams her Piko Piko Hammer at E-100 ZERO and this caused E-100 ZERO to get knocked out and crash on top of Decoe and Bocoe. E-100 ZERO shoots out sparks, causing Steven, Amy and Lily to run to the exit. "Hurry!" Steven says before he, Amy and Lily leave the computer room. E-100 ZERO then shines a light before exploding.

Back in E-105 Zeta's room, E-105 Zeta powered down. "E-105 Zeta data erased. Shutdown and rescue complete! Units remaining:" E-102 Gamma says.

The same green image of E-101 Beta being rebuilt appeared again. Another image shows E-102 Gamma in Emerald Coast while searching for Froggy along with the rest of the E-100 Series Robots.

Back in E-105 Zeta's room, E-102 Gamma looks at it's hand. "Gamma..." E-102 Gamma says before a vibration was felt and heard. E-102 Gamma turns around and saw metal and pipes fall on the ground, causing smoke to fly around. E-102 Gamma looks up and suddenly saw E-101 Beta's new rebuilt form called E-101 Mark II entering the room.

In another area of the Egg Carrier, a thud was heard and felt as Steven, Amy and Lily were by the staircase of the area. Lily chirps in panic before Amy turns to her. "What do you suppose that awful crashing sound was?" Amy asked and Lily chirped. "I don't know, but I've got a feeling something's about to happen" Steven says.

Back in E-105 Zeta's room, E-101 Mark II and E-102 Gamma were looking at each other. E-102 Gamma then moves forward a bit. "Beta...!" E-102 Gamma says.

E101mkII

Back with E-102 Gamma and E-101 Mark II, E-101 Mark II aimed it's laser gun at E-102 Gamma before firing. E-102 Gamma jumps out the way from the blast as the blast hit the ground, causing an explosion and smoke to rise up.

Back with Steven, Amy and Lily, they felt the shakes as Amy shielded herself while she and Lily scream and whimper. "Something must be going down in one of the rooms!" Steven says before Lily chirps while looking at the staircase. This caused Amy to open her eyes and she and Steven look to see Lily flying up the stairs. "Lily, no! Come back!" Amy says before she runs after Lily. "Guys, wait!" Steven says before he runs after Amy and Lily.

Back with E-102 Gamma and E-101 Mark II, E-102 Gamma continued jumping away from the blasts E-101 Mark II was firing. "Stop, Beta! Eggman, bad master! Destroy friends! Eggman enemy!" E-102 Gamma says as it continued jumping and dodging the blasts. "Gamma not master! Eggman master! All enemies must be eliminated!" E-101 Mark II says as it continued firing it's laser guns. E-102 Gamma then fired at E-101 Mark II before it started fighting back towards E-101 Mark II. "Beta! Mustn't shoot! Gamma friend!" E-102 Gamma says as it continued firing and dodging. "Gamma not master! Eggman master! All enemies must be eliminated!" E-101 Mark II says as it continued firing. Amy was then seen running down the stairs. "Wait!" Amy says before she, Steven and Lily reach the end of the staircase to see the battle with E-102 Gamma and E-101 Mark II. "Wait, be careful...!" Amy says as she held her hands out while Steven gasped. "Hey, stop!" Steven says. E-102 Gamma and E-101 Mark II fired again at each other before they collided into each other. This caused their own laser blast to shoot through each other's bodies. "No!" Steven says.

A green image showed Lily and the two birds happily looking at the readers.

Back at the robotic battle, E-102 Gamma takes a few steps back, causing E-101 Mark II to crash on the ground before a few lights popped out of it. E-101 Mark II then exploded in flames and smoke. Steven and Amy unshielded herself and gasped at the sight. "Oh no!" E-102 Gamma says as it watched the fire before the capsule that had the grey bird in flies out of the flames. The capsule disappears and the grey bird chirps while flying up. The grey bird then flies in front of E-102 Gamma's face. "I'm relieved. Free now" E-102 Gamma says with it's voice tone being slightly deep.

The image of Lily, the grey and the other bird were then seen again before the screen twitched a bit. "Gamma... Mission complete!" E-102 Gamma says with a distorted voice tone at the end off screen before the image was digitally erased.

Back in the room, E-102 Gamma crashed on the ground before a few lights popped out. E-102 Gamma also exploded in flames and smoke before Steven and Amy take a step forward as she saw this. "Oh, no!" Amy says, "Gamma!" Steven says before E-102 Gamma's back opened a door. A capsule flew out and revealed the pink bird inside. The capsule disappears before the pink bird flies up. The pink bird flies up to the grey bird before they chirped and fly higher up in the room. Amy and Lily look up to see the pink and grey birds fly around each other happily while Steven takes a few steps forward towards the flames. "Yeah, it's them!" Amy says before Lily looks at Amy and chirps. Amy looks at Lily before Lily flies up in the air and was now reunited with her family. Lily and her family then fly around together happily while chirping. Amy then looks back at Steven looking at the destroyed E-102 Gamma's before taking a few steps forward to him. "He sacrificed everything to do the right thing... He wasn't a bad robot at all..." Steven says, "Yeah... You've done so much for us to save them! Thank you!" Amy says as she was seen with tears in her eyes. "Oh, Gamma. We'll never forget you!" Amy says before Steven comforts her a bit. "He died as a savior... That's what I call a true hero" Steven says as he and Amy continue to watch the destroyed E-101 Mark II and E-102 Gamma be caught in the flames. E-102 Gamma and E-101 Mark II's hands were eventually seen in contact. "Now you and your brothers can live together again!" Amy says off screen, "They can now all rest in peace" Steven says off screen as this was tragically the end of E-102 Gamma and it's story in Sonic Adventure.

FIN

Back outside of the Egg Carrier, Lily and her family fly up in the skies before stopping. Lily and her family then perked beaks a few times before flying towards Amy and Steven. "You did it! Now you three can live in peace again!" Amy says, "We were happy to help. Now be free, feathered friends. Be free!" Steven says before Lily and her family chirped happily. Amy and Steven watched as Lily and her family fly off into the skies. "I'm so happy! I'm going to try my best too!" Amy says before she and Steven began to make their way off the Egg Carrier. "You are, Amy?" Steven asked, "That's right, Steven! Just watch me. I'll make Sonic respect me!" Amy says, "Amy, I'm pretty sure Sonic respects you already" Steven says before chuckling. "I know, Steven, but Sonic needs to learn that I can handle anything and anyone. Including him!" Amy says before she and Steven stop walking. "And by the time..." Amy says before she jumps up. "... It's gonna be too late!" Amy says before Steven laughs a bit. "Okay, if you say so" Steven says before Amy looks at Steven. "Thanks for helping me and Lily, Steven. We're really grateful" Amy says before she and Steven jump on Amy's boat. "No problem, Amy. I'm just glad to help" Steven says before he takes the oars and rows away from the Egg Carrier. "What are you gonna do now, Steven?" Amy asked, "Hmm... You know what? I think I'll take it easy as well. These long three days have been hectic. So I'm gonna go home and do what I love: Train!" Steven says.

Back at the docks, Steven and Amy got off the boat and looked at each other. "You need help getting back home, Amy?" Steven asked, "No thanks, Steven. I'll walk the rest of the way. Thanks again. Goodbye!" Amy says before she runs off with Steven waving. Steven stopped waving before looking up at the clear sky with a smile on his face. Steven then runs off as this concluded Amy's story in Sonic Adventure.

MYSTIC RUINS

Back in the forest of Mystic Ruins, Sonic was seen laying against a tree while having his hands behind his head and looking at the sky. "Yawn" Sonic says as he yawned a bit. "Guess Eggman's learned his lesson... yep! And maybe I'll take a vacation somewhere" Sonic says, "Hey, Son-ic!" Tails says off screen. "Huh?" Sonic asked before he sits up a bit. "What's up?" Tails asked as he was seen waving his hands while running up to Sonic. "Hey there, Tails, glad to see you're okay!" Sonic says befire Tails stops in front of Sonic. "Yeah, and Amy and Steven are okay, too!" Tails says. Suddenly, dark clouds began to take over the grey sky, causing the sun to be blocked. Sonic and Tails saw this. "Must be a storm coming" Tails says as the dark clouds continue to spread.

Back outside of Angel Island, Angel Island suddenly crashed into the ocean again with a big splash.

At another part of Mystic Ruins, Knuckles was seen walking while holding his bag the had the Chaos Emeralds. "The Master Emerald is where it belongs. But Angel Island still fell! This doesn't make any sense" Knuckles says before he looks at his bag. "Maybe... These Chaos Emeralds... that I brought back with me... have something to do with that's happening. I'll take them to Sonic for his advice" Knuckles says before he looks forward again.

In the skies, a lightning stroke down from the dark clouds.

Back with Knuckles, he stopped and looked to the right to see the lightning strike down somewhere behind the mountains from afar a few times. Knuckles saw this as more flashes happened.

Back above Mystic Ruins, purple lighting stroke down at an area before stopping. This caused steam to fly out from the ground.

At another part of Mystic Ruins, the steam was coming from the top of a tree branch before Dr. Eggman was seen flying in his Egg Mobile while still damaged from his battle with Sonic. "Ooooh... Darn them! Blast and curse you, Sonic and Steven! You both may have defeated me, but I've still got my master plan to get rid of you two forever, you furry freaks!" Dr. Eggman says. As Dr. Eggman continued flying forward, he stopped as Chaos' liquid was seen on the ground. "Chaos!" Dr. Eggman says in shock. Suddenly, Chaos' liquid flies in the air before it shrinks in size.

Back with Knuckles, he was walking through Mystic Ruins forest. Knuckles then stopped as he noticed something. Knuckles saw Dr. Eggman laying on the ground looking hurt with the Egg Mobile looking damaged. Knuckles then gasped a bit. "Eggman!" Knuckles says before he runs. Knuckles then goes up to Dr. Eggman. "This is terrible! Ch- Chaos is..." Dr. Eggman says, "Is what?" Knuckles asked as he and Dr. Eggman didn't notice Chaos' liquid next to them.

Inside the Rec Room, Steven was training with weights.

Outside of Steven's Castle Mansion, a lightning strikes down from the skies.

Suddenly a flash image shows a silhouette of the water monster roaring.

Back in the Rec Room, Steven gasped before he puts the weights down. "What was that!? It sounded like that monstrous roar! And the familiar roar could only mean that it came from...!" Steven says.

Suddenly, there were images showing Chaos 0, Chaos 1, Chaos 2, Chaos 4, Chaos 6, the water monster mural picture and the Master Emerald.

Back in the Rec Room, Steven gasped again. "Ch... Chaos!" Steven says before he freaks a bit. Steven then runs out the room.

In the Study Room, Steven bust in before looking at the Whiteboard. The Whiteboard had new information that was written next to a picture that represented the water monster. "That Orb must have given us a warning that somethings gonna happen with Chaos. Which means if Chaos turns into that sea monster, I don't know what I'm gonna do!" Steven says before he runs out of the room.

In the hallways, Steven was running. "Crap! I've got a bad feeling about this!" Steven says before he passed the Living Room that showed E-77 Lucky watching TV that showed Angel Island sitting in the ocean. E-77 Lucky turns around before beeping. Steven eventually ran back towards the Living Room. "What is it, Lucky!?" Steven says before E-77 Lucky points to the TV. Steven then looks towards the TV and gasped. "What!?" Steven asked.

In the Living Room, Steven goes up to the TV. "That wasn't suppose to happen! What's going on over there!? Knuckles should have restored the Master Emerald by now! Angel Island should be floating again!" Steven says before he turns to the window that showed the dark cloudy sky. "But at the same time why has it gotten so dark all of a sudden!? It was sunny and clear earlier...! Wait a second...! Knuckles held onto the Chaos Emeralds...! And that roar came from Chaos... Knuckles...! Angel Island...! The Master Emerald...! The Chaos Emeralds...! Chaos...!" Steven says before he gasped. "No, no, no!" Steven says before out of the Living Room with E-77 Lucky looking to where Steven left in confusion.

Back outside of Steven's Castle Mansion, Steven burst the doors open before running at a faster pace.

At the open field, Steven continued running while looking a bit nervous. "This isn't happening! This is NOT happening!" Steven says in his head.

Above the Master Emerald Alter, flashes we're seen.

At the Master Emerald Alter, the Master Emerald had a purple lightning strike was seen reflecting from the Master Emerald a couple of times as everyone on Earth was now gonna finally face the true Wrath of the Master Emerald's God of Destruction.

Shining Road (光る道, Hikaru michi)

Clips were playing from the next Chapter/Episode. "Hey! It's me, Steven the Hedgehog! This is bad! Chaos somehow got its hands on the Chaos Emeralds and had now gone rogue against Earth! Just as the Orb predicted, Chaos has finally achieved it's Ultimate form: Perfect Chaos! Before we could even take action, we were greeted to the past one last time and things got really scary and dangerous from what I can remember! All I know now is Tikal put the ultimate sacrifice to stop Chaos before it could get worse! Now it looks like it's gonna take more than a seal to stop Chaos once and for all! The faith of Earth now rests in the palm of our hands! Next time on Sonic X: Steven the Hedgehog! "The Scream of Perfect Chaos and Ikari Steven" ("Flood Fight")!" Steven says off screen before he was cut off with another familiar roar as the current Chapter/Episode ends.
