One night at the Soleanna Castle Town, the Festival of the Sun is being held with fireworks fired up towards the night sky. A large boat comes in with Princess Elise on board, waving to the cheering crowds. Once the boat docks at a large platform overlooked by a large cauldron, she steps off, walking towards a statue. One of the hooded figures then brings in a torch and bestows it to Elise while she looks at it. After a few seconds of staring at the flame, she then visualizes a large blast of fire engulfing Soleanna and her floating into the air as she notices Iblis in the distance emerging from a large crater as it gives a ferocious roar before being snapped back to reality.

Elise's lady-in-waiting: Miss Elise.

Elise: It... It's alright. We give thanks for the blessed flames. May we always continue to have peace. Sun of Soleanna, guide and watch over us with your eternal light...

Elise lights a flame with the torch that ignites a frame surrounding a pedestal and finally the large cauldron itself. Everyone applauds while more fireworks are launched into the sky. No one notices several missiles streaking out of the sky among the fireworks until it is too late. The missiles land and impact several buildings around Soleanna Castle Town, causing everyone to instantly go from celebrating to panicking as they realize Soleanna is under attack. Elise yelps in shock upon witnessing the carnage to her kingdom. The Egg Carrier then flies over the cauldron and drops off Egg Gunners around Elise and the other figures with her. As they are about to attack, Dr. Eggman appears in his Egg Mobile. The Egg Gunners to the sides of the Egg Mobile glance over as their boss prepares to confront the Soleanna sovereign.

Eggman: A pleasure to meet you at last, Princess of Soleanna. I am Dr. Eggman. I've come here to obtain the secret of the Flames of Disaster from you.

Eggman then points to the blue time stone.

And to take the miracle gems that are the keys to its secret... The Chaos Emerald! Which.. Apone closer expection, isn't what you have... Either way, it's a powerful gem. Now Princess, this way please.

Eggman's points towards his direction and Elise begins to step back in fear. Within a few seconds, blue hurls begin to appear circling around in the air, blowing up the robes of the bishop and robed figures with Elise. Elise looks around puzzled before her attention is drawn to a protruding piece of debris as a familiar blue hedgehog comes to a stop on it.

Sonic: My... That's a pretty snazzy performance there.

Elise: Who.. Are you?

{How does Elise know what Silver looks like?}

Sonic smiles and attacks the Egg Gunners, dispatching them all. The last one he stuns with the energy from his earlier attack as it dispels over it before he simply nudges it to tip over and off its perch. He then runs back over next to Elise.

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog!

Scoops up Elise in his arms and runs off.

Eggman: Not that irritating hedgehog again! Attack!

The Egg Gunners begin to fire missiles at Sonic as he runs away. Elise cries out in fright when some impact dangerously close to Sonic as they cause further damage to Soleanna Castle Town. However, he is able to make it to the rooftops and escape. Silver stands over a roof looking towards Sonic.

Mysterious Whie Hedgehog: I finally found him... the Iblis Trigger!

The mysterious white hedgehog clenches his hand into a fist as he knows what his objective is now.


Sonic is running through the town with Elise in his arms.

Elise: Umm... Why are you helping me?

Sonic: Eggman is a dangerous person. He was the one who threatened to blow up the earth at one point. (Jumps over a canal)

Elise: Really?

Sonic: You didn't see it?

Elise: (Gasp) Look out!

More of Eggman's Egg Gunners block Sonic's path. Sonic puts Elise down and destroys all of them. However, he barely has a chance to catch his breath before he hears Elise scream and sees Eggman grabbing Elise with his Egg Mobile while his back was turned.

Eggman: I'm afraid our little game ends now.

Elise: Sonic, take this!

Elise throws the blue time stone to Sonic and he catches it.

Sonic: I've got it! And don't worry, I'll rescue you!

Elise: I know.

Eggman: (scoffs) It's only a matter of time before it's mine. Until then, you can hold onto it for me!

Eggman flees with Elise into the Egg Carrier and leaves Soleanna while Sonic watches it depart. He then looks at the stone

Sonic: What is this energy coming from it? And why does it feel so familiar?


Sonic is running through Soleanna Castle Town during the day. He hears Tails calling his name and stops.

Tails: Sonic!

Sonic: Tails! Long time no see!

Tails: I'm glad that you're here. I heard that you tried to save the Princess from Dr. Eggman. You're going to rescue her, aren't you? Let me help. I may not know what Eggman's up to, but it can't be a good thing!

Sonic: OK! With your help, this should be a piece of cake.

Sonic then runs towards Wave Ocean

Tails: Heh heh. I'll do my best!

Follows Sonic


Wave Ocean, day. The Egg Carrier flies away as Sonic and Tails watch it. A feather falls down from the sky which Sonic picks up. It looks like one of the feathers from Elise's dress.

Tails: It looks like we were too slow.

Sonic: Never say those words to me again! Never!

Walks around Sonic, while Sonic looks at a feather.

Tails: Yessh. Ok. Let's head back to the city!

Tails leaves the scene. Sonic clutches the feather and follows.


Dusty Desert, late afternoon. Inside a chamber of ancient ruins, Elise is sitting. Sonic and Tails break into the room. Sonic comes in and Tails waves to her.

Elise: Mr. Sonic!

Sonic: Just call me Sonic.

Elise hugs Sonic.

Sonic: Now then, are you OK?

Elise: I-I'm so glad that you came...

Sonic: Don't worry. I'll-

Tails: Sonic!

Sonic, Tails, and Elise turn their attention to the Egg Cerberus who is sealed in a caged. It starts to open its mouth as Eggman then appears.

Dr. Eggman: It looks like a pesky rat has stuck its nose where it doesn't belong. Well, a hedgehog to be more precise... The Princess is mine until I unlock the secret of the Flames of Disaster.

Sonic: Tails! Protect Elise while I'll deal with this!

Tails: Got it!


In the sunset of Dusty Desert, Tails digs through the wreckage of the Egg Cerberus.

Tails: Maybe there's a power source?

Tails locates the red Chaos Emerald and the cyan time stone.

Tails: A Chaos Emerald? What is this?

Sonic: I don't know, but it's not the only one.

Sonic shows Tails the blue Time Stone.

Tails: Hmm... Well, whatever it is, it a power source. We should hold on to it.

A large hoard of Egg Gunner robots, led by a trio of Egg Stingers are flying towards somewhere, possibly towards Sonic, Tails, and Elise.

Sonic: How long is this going to go on?

Tails: Let's split up. I'll get their attention, and you take the Princess.

Sonic nods and turns his head towards Tails.

Sonic; OK. Be careful, Tails.

Tails: Leave it to me!

Tails files off and Sonic holds Elise.

Sonic: Hold on tight!

Elise: Ok!

Sonic runs off with Elise.


{Skipping the next cutscene. I thought that it was pretty dumb anyway.}

Sonic and Elise are walking in Soleanna before he puts out an arm to stop her.

Sonic: Hold on.

Sonic notices an attack coming towards them and, grabbing Elise, jumps to avoid it. Elise cries out as the attack explodes harmlessly where they were. The source of the attack soon descends to confront them.

Mysterious White Hedgehog: I've been looking for you. You're the Iblis Trigger. Your actions will condemn us all.

Sonic: Who are you? And what are you talking about?

Silver: My name is Silver. For the future of the world, I will destroy you!


Silver is weak from their fight and Elise is looking at him.

Sonic: Hey. Are you ok? Sorry for that, but you threw the first punch.

Silver psycho-kinetically attacks Sonic, knocking him towards a building where Sonic slams hard against the stone and falls down to the ground on his knees after hitting it. Elise looks on with worry as Sonic tries to catch his breath as Silver approaches him.

Silver: Hmph! Is this a joke? How could someone like you cause the destruction of our world?

Two robotic hands appear behind Elise.

Sonic: What do you...mean?

Silver: It doesn't matter. For the sake of the future, the Iblis Trigger must be destroyed!

Silver was about to end it, but Elise screams interrupts him. Sonic and Silver see the Egg Mobile capturing her.

Sonic: Elise!? Wait!

Sonic tries to go after Elise but Silver attacked Sonic again in the back, knocking him down.

Silver: Don't you dare turn your back on me! It's time I finally put an end to this!

Silver tries to attack but Amy appears.

Amy: Stop!

Silver: Amy? Get out of my way, Amy! This is my mission!

Amy: Absolutely not!

Silver grunts in frustration. Sonic stands up.

Silver: I don't have time for this!

Silver grabs Amy and moves her away. He then sees that Sonic is long gone.

Sonic: Thanks Amy. I appreciate it.

Sonic keeps running to catch up to Eggman and Elise


Sonic and Tails arrived at a seaport in New City and encounter Knuckles. Knuckles is seen holding a card.

Sonic: Knuckles. Long time no see.

Knuckles: I saw Eggman on the outskirts of the city.

Throws the card to Sonic.

Knuckles: He wanted to give this to you.

Sonic looks at the card and a holographic message from Eggman shows up.

Dr. Eggman (via card): Sonic the Hedgehog. If you want me to return the Princess, you must give me your Chaos Emeralds and the stone you took. Meet me at my base in White Acropolis.

The recording ends and Sonic hand the card back to Knuckles, who stomps it with his shoe.

Knuckles: Huh. He's pretty cocky.

Crushes the card

Tails: It's most definitely a trap. Eggman won't honor his agreement.

Sonic: (Looks at his Chaos Emerald) I'm going.

Tails: Sonic?

Sonic: Since Eggman went to the trouble of telling me where Elise is. I think I should thank him personally.


Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles arrive at Eggman's base in White Acropolis.

Dr. Eggman: You're late.

Knuckles: Well, we had to deal with your little pets.

Sonic: Where's Elise?

Dr. Eggman: My, aren't we impatient...

Eggman grabs Elise and is holding her by his side.

Elise: Sonic!

Sonic and his friends get ready to fight.

Dr. Eggman: Ah ah. You better not move. Now, the Chaos Emeralds and the stone...

Sonic takes his Chaos emeralds and the Time stone out.

Eggman: Place them there.

Eggman points to a capsule that rises from the ground while Elise shakes her head. Sonic places the Emerald in the capsule and it recedes back into the ground. Eggman smiles wickedly before he then presses a button on a control panel next to him.

A pink-ish purple force field generates from the ceiling, surrounding Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.

Tails: Huh!? Wha-!?

Knuckles: Wha!?

Tails tries to hit the field with his tails, but get's knocked back. He also has burn marks on the tips. Knuckles tries punching the field but gets knocked back. He has burn marks on his knuckles.

Dr. Eggman: It's no use. It's too powerful for you to overcome. Now allow me to introduce you to my latest creation. This is the Solaris prototype.

Elise gasps while Eggman laughs and pulls a handle on a nearby control podium.

Eggman: With this machine, I'll be able to control the flow of time itself!

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are sucked upwards by the machine.

Sonic: Whooah!

Tails: Ahhhhh!

Knuckles: Arrrrrhhhh!

The force field disappears along with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Elise leans against the window in despair at what she just witnessed.

Dr. Eggman: Rest assured... They're not dead... yet. They've just been teleported by my glorious invention to another time. Who knows when they'll end up? It could be the distant past or far future. But my machine still requires some fine-tuning. In fact, what my machine needs in order to be complete, is your power.

Elise: My power?

Dr. Eggman: Yes. The two time stone aren't enough. I need all 7. And you. I can finally complete my plans... Now that I have 2 Chaos Emeralds, and you... The Princess of Soleanna. That's all I need to revive the Flames of Disaster. And with its power, I will be able to control everything and rule the world. So, you would be wise to remain on my "good" side.

Eggman walks off. Elise puts her hands together to pray as she looks skyward.


At a ruined future of the same location, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles fall down from the machine in the top of the room. Tails and Knuckles slows their decent. Sonic lands on his face.

Sonic: Owww!

Tails: Boy, do I feel dizzy...

Looks around

Tails: Where... are we?

Someone approaches the group from a higher ledge.

Unknow Female: Oh, look who's here! I didn't expect to see you guys.

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles look up and see Shadow and Rouge.

Tails: Rouge! Shadow!

Rouge: Hi. Long time no see!


Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, and Rouge look over the ruins of Crisis City.

Shadow: This is the distant future, far removed from our own timeline.

Tails: The future? Then that means Eggman's machine can control time!

Sonic: Eggman's got some nerve dropping us here.

Knuckles: Now, how can we get back to our own time?

Shadow: You need a space-time rift, but this requires a lot of energy.

Sonic: I see. You mean using Chaos Control will-

Shadow: Yes, but that alone is insufficient.

Sonic: Okay Shadow. It looks like we need to work together.

Shadow nods. Rouge does as well, knowing that this will require teamwork between them to return to the present.


Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles wonder about in a corridor of a ruined building.

Knuckles: No matter where we go, all we see are ruins. How can this be our future?

The trio turned to look at their surroundings.

Tails: How could it come to this?

Sonic notices gas flowing from a room that is slightly opened with various notices and warnings on the door. The trio then turn to have a peak inside to discover what's happening within.

Sonic: Shh!

Silver: Could it be true?

A grey hedgehog and A purple female cat can be seen standing in front of a large database computer.

Silver: If I eliminate that guy, will our world be saved?

Unknown Grey Hedgehog: (Nods) The Day of Disaster... Here are my records of this event. This was when Iblis was freed and his flames were released into the world.

The grey hedgehog presses a key. The screen then displayed screenshots from the present timeline.

Unknown Grey Hedgehog: And you have this person to blame.

The Hedgehog snaps his fingers. Suddenly, everyone, including Team Sonic, sees the background shifts to a stream of fire surrounding a projection of Sonic as he turns to face the camera with a stern look on his face.

Silver: I see it! So, That blue hedgehog's the Iblis Trigger?

Unknow Purple Cat: Is that... Sonic?

Unknown Grey Hedgehog: I'll send us back in time to the point when the Iblis Trigger was alive.

The grey hedgehog forms a purple orb in his hands that expands, covering Silver and Blaze along with him and then disappeared out of sight. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles approach towards the computer.

Sonic: So, that's why Silver called me the Iblis Trigger. Who is Iblis though?

Knuckles: Who was that other guy? He looked just like Shadow...

Tails: Th-This is terrible!

Types on the keys.

Tails: According to the data, the Princess died when she was kidnapped by Eggman! Apparently Eggman's battleship exploded!

Types on the keys again.

Tails: The date of this incident was... two days after the Festival of the Sun!

Sonic: We have to return back! We have to fix the future! Or else Elise will die onboard Eggman's battleship.

Tails: Yeah.

Sonic punches his hands together in frustration while Tails types on the keys once again.


At Flame Core, Shadow and Rouge meet with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.

Rouge: You guys are so slow. Look.

She shows the green Chaos Emerald.

Tails: A Chaos Emerald!

Rouge: Well now... I may not look It, but I'm a real treasure hunter. Unlike a certain echidna I know.

Knuckles: What is that supposed to mean!?

Shadow: Have you guys discovered anything?

Tails: Um, yeah.

Points at the volcano

Tails: I received a signal indicating there's a Chaos Emerald there, but...

Rouge: You mean we've got to go in there? We will die!

Tails: I think the Chaos Emerald is-

Knuckles: If you don't like it, you can stay here.

Rouge: You've got to be kidding!

Sonic: Don't be late.

Shadow: Same to you.

Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge run off-screen.


At a volcanic pool, Rouge and Tails flies away from Sonic, Shadow, Tails and Knuckles up to the Cyan Chaos Emerald floating in the air.

Rouge: I've found a Chaos Emerald!

Shadow: Don't touch it!

Rouge: Why? Are you jealous that I-

Iblis springs out of the lava. Rouge and Tails flies back to the group. Iblis looms over them as lava and flames boil around him.

Rouge: What? What's that?

Iblis swings at the group, hissing and snarling viciously.


After defeating Iblis, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge gathered together. Sonic pulls out the Cyan Chaos Emerald while Shadow pulls out the Green Chaos Emerald.

Sonic and Shadow: Chaos Control!

The Chaos Emeralds begin flashing rapidly and emit a white swirling light into the air that transforms into a blue swirling portal suspended in mid-air. Sonic proceeds towards the portal while Tails and Knuckles follow. The fate of Shadow and Rouge is unknown as the scene cuts to black.


A blue swirling portal appears at some place in Soleanna New City and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles come out through it before disappearing.

Knuckles: Looks like we make it back in one piece.

Tails: Where did Shadow and Rouge go? Did they appear someplace else?

Sonic: Those two can take care of themselves.

Sonic spots a newspaper lying on the ground and proceeds to read it. Tails and Knuckles also move towards Sonic to read the newspaper as well.

Sonic: Turns out that there're traveling by train. Tails! Go to the forest and be ready for Eggman!

Tails: Got it!

Sonic: Knuckles you-

Knuckles: I didn't come to this place just for you to drag me to wherever you want. I'm out of here!

Knuckles glides off. Tails flies off also.


Radical Train, day.

Eggman (Through intercom): Sonic! Shouldn't you save the train before chasing after me?

Elise: Help Sonic!

Sonic: Eggman! (Growls) I better hurry and save her.


Radical Train, day. Sonic is running away while carrying Elise.

Elise: I knew it... I knew you'd return! You had to!

Sonic jumps to the side as an energy blast is fired by Silver.

Sonic: ...You again.

Silver: This time there will be no more interruptions! The Iblis Trigger... must die!

Elise: Sonic...

Silver fires an energy blast which Sonic dodges. Silver then grabs Sonic in a psychokinetic hold, paralyzing him.

Dr. Eggman: So how was your little walk, Princess?

The Egg Mobile appears and grabs Elise with its two hands before flying away. Elise cries out in fear as she's grabbed.

Sonic: Elise!

Silver: (Strengths his hold on Sonic) It's time to end this!

Shadow jumps between Sonic and Silver, freeing Sonic before Silver could deliver the finishing move.

Silver: Who? Mephiles! Why are you getting in my way?

Shadow: I'm Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog.

Sonic gives Shadow a thumbs up and runs away.


The Egg Mobile flies overhead above some plains. Elise is standing on the edge of the Egg Mobile

Dr. Eggman: Now stop it. You have nowhere to go.

Elise: I would rather die than be your prisoner again!

Dr. Eggman: Hmph! So, what are you going to do, Princess? Do you plan to jump?

Below on the ground, Sonic is seen running towards the Egg Mobile.

Elise: Farewell.

Elise falls off the Egg Mobile, leaving Eggman stunned.

Dr. Eggman: Huh?

Sonic catches Elise in his arms, arriving just in time to catch her before she hits the ground.

Elise: Sonic!

Dr. Eggman: (growls) You won't get away that easily!


At Soleanna Forest, Sonic walks while holding Elise's hand. Elise stops to catch her breath. Sonic pulls out the Purple Chaos Emerald.

Sonic: Looks like we got another Emerald. That's 2 down. And Eggman has 2. Shadow has one. Meaning that there's 2 left. Also, Elise? That was a gutsy move back there!

Elise: Well, I was desperate... and um... I just had to get away. I owe you a lot, Sonic...

Sonic: Uh...

Sonic turns to see a large hoard of Egg Gunners flying towards his direction.

Let's head into the jungle!

Elise: Ok!

Sonic carries Elise in his arms and takes off.


{Also, skipping this cutscene.}

At Soleanna, a Soleanna Royal Guard is conversing with two citizens. A shadow of the Egg Carrier is seen and the three turn to look at the Egg Carrier flying above the city. Citizens begin to panic as Eggman makes his announcement.

Dr. Eggman (Through intercom): Princess Elise, ruler of Soleanna... By refusing to negotiate with me, you have forced me to take drastic actions.

Amy is seen in the crowd witnessing the Egg Carrier before turning to run away.

Eggman: Meet me at the specified point alone 4 o'clock today. Failure to do so on time will result in my leveling of this city so that nothing but ashes remain!

Elise stands outside on the balcony of her castle as she listened to this.

Elise's lady-in waiting 1: Miss Elise!

Elise: I cannot allow harm to come to my people.

As the Egg Carrier flies closer in the background, Elise turns to leave. She stops.

Elise's lady-in waiting 2: Miss Elise!

Elise: It is my duty as Princess of Soleanna to go... There is no other choice.

She continues walking, heading to rendezvous and surrender to Eggman for the sake of her people.


Eggman traps Elise inside the Egg Carrier and she is seen sitting on a chair.

Dr. Eggman: You've wasted so much of my time. If you had cooperated with me earlier, I wouldn't have had to do this.

Elise: Why are you trying to rule the world? Why do you wish to revive the Flames of Disaster?

Dr. Eggman: Did your parents ever disclose anything to you about Solaris? Solaris's secrets are in his eternal flames. His power... can change time, and even manipulate the fabric of time itself. I wish to obtain this power and dominate everything in this world. From the past all the way to the future!

Elise: You wish... to rule over... Time?

Dr. Eggman: Yes. Truly. And the secret... It remains dormant in you, Princess.

Dr. Eggman proceeds to his ship's interface and begins inputting commands.

Eggman: The Princess of Soleanna, the seven Chaos Emeralds, and the 7 time stones... Once I have everything, the fate of the world will change. And one of the beautiful gems and stones is just ahead.

Egg Carrier mother computer: Chaos Emerald and Time stone located.

Dr. Eggman: Finally... Now, let's go collect that Chaos Emerald and Time Stone.


Sonic is running through plains when his path is suddenly intercepted by several Egg Gunner robots. Sonic comes to a stop while the robots approach him and prepare to attack when a green aura suddenly surrounds all of them, disabling them from moving. Silver appears and psycho-kinetically pushes them away, destroying them in the process.

Silver: You look like you're in a hurry.

Sonic: Huh? What are you doing here? And, if you're wanting a rematch them-

Silver: Circumstances have changed. I need to rescue the Princess.

Sonic: Ok. Sure! Let's go!


[Inside the Egg Carrier, an alarm is going off. Eggman is frantically typing on the keys at his interface while Elise watches.]

Dr. Eggman: Huh? The engines are malfunctioning. What's this? Stop all engines now!

There's no response. Eggman pounds on his interface in frustration and horror.

Eggman: ...Why is this happening? No! We're about to crash!


Sonic: Hey, you gotta hurry up Tails.

Tails: (painting) I'm trying, but you are going too fast.

Unknown Female Cat: I believe he's right Sonic.

Sonic: Blaze?

Blaze: Long time no see. Now, let's keep moving!


A section of the Egg Carrier from outside bursts into flames, emitting smoke. Later, the Egg Carrier is seen from Kingdom Valley, with both sides now engulfed, losing altitude and then explodes into an orange tint behind a mountain as it disappears from view. Sonic arrives at the moment it happens with Silver, Tails, and Blaze right behind him.

Sonic: Elise!

Sonic watches the incident in anger, falling to his knees and pounds the ground in anger. He's too late. Both Soleanna's sovereign and his arch-enemy have been killed.

Silver: Wait, there's still a way to change this. If we return to an earlier point in time, we'll be able to save her.

Sonic: You know Chaos Control?

Silver pulls out the white Chaos Emerald while Sonic pulls out the Cyan Chaos Emerald.

Sonic and Silver: Chaos Control!

The two emeralds glow forming a white swirling light in the air, forming a blue swirling portal suspended in mid-air. Sonic turns to the portal and tosses his Chaos Emerald to Silver.

Sonic: Silver. I can handle this myself. Besides, you've got somewhere to go, right?

Silver: You...

Tails hops through the portal

Sonic: I'll make sure to change Elise's fate. And that in turn, should change your future, too. Thank you, Silver!

Silver: Yeah... Just save her.

Sonic leaps into the portal also.

{Ok, If Blaze was in this cutscene, why wasn't Tails? The last place we saw him before Sonic time traveled was next to the Kingdom Valley mirror. Did he just not join Sonic? Why?}


A blue swirling portal appears at Soleanna New City Sonic and Tails comes out of it.

Sonic: When are we now?

Tails pulls out a watch.

Tails: Noon. The same day.

Not much time. They quickly regroup with Knuckles and heads for the Egg Carrier's hangar in Aquatic Base.


Egg Carrier mother computer: Thrust increasing. Engine output at maximum. Course plotted.

Egg Carrier is seen preparing to depart from Aquatic Base.

Egg Carrier mother computer: Gate open. Lifting off.

Red machines holding the Egg Carrier in place detach and recede into the walls. The Egg Carrier proceeds to take off. Just then, Sonic is seen running along a catwalk above the Egg Carrier and jumping onto the craft, landing just on its metal tail before it could accelerate too much and miss his chance to board and save Elise. Tails and Knuckles follow suit. The Egg Carrier zooms off towards its inevitable demise.


Inside the Egg Carrier, events play out like before as an alarm goes off while Eggman is frantically typing at the Egg Carrier's interface, trying to save his doomed ship.

Dr. Eggman: ...Why is this happening? Noooooo!

Sonic: Playtime's over.

Sonic appears and Elise runs to his side. Eggman slowly turns around in half-astonishment, half-fury at seeing Sonic somehow got on the Egg Carrier to save the princess from the ship's inevitable destruction.

Elise: Sonic!

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles: This ship is about to crash. Too bad, Eggman.

Eggman growls in frustration.

Dr. Eggman: I'm not finished yet!

Sonic throws his arms out and stands in front of Elise, refusing to let Eggman get near her again and risk her being killed in the Egg Carrier's inevitable crash.


Inside the Egg Carrier, Sonic is carrying Elise in his arms as he runs to escape from the ship as alarms continue to blare to order all hands to abandon the doomed vessel. Outside, the front section of the Egg Carrier explodes into flames and breaks off.

Sonic: That's 3 Chaos Emeralds and 2 strange stones for Sonic, and nothing for Eggman!

Knucles: We won't be abe to get you out of here. You're on your own Sonic. We'll meet you back at land!

Knuckles and Tails, reluctantly, Glide/fly away from the wreckage.

Sonic: (Mumbles) Some friends...

Elise: Sonic!

Elise points to burning debris soaring through the air as the Egg Carrier continues to fall apart.

Sonic: Aren't you worried?

Elise: We'll, I have no reason to worry. You're here, right?

The front section of the Egg Carrier explodes in a huge fireball before it even hits the ocean surface below, sending smaller fragments shooting off in all directions like missiles. Sonic, with Elise in his arms, takes a running start, leaps off, and jumps from one piece of debris of the Egg Carrier to another. He lands on the wing to jump to a cliff and attempts to jump high into the air, only for them to start falling when gravity takes over before they can reach the top of the cliff. A large piece of debris of the Egg Carrier's engines collides into the cliff face below and its explosion launches Sonic and Elise up to solid ground as they roll along the ground before coming to a rest after several tumbles. Sonic recovers with a groan before checking Elise, who rolls over onto her back. Elise lies on the ground while Sonic walks over to her and lends his hand for her to get up. Sonic and Elise begin laughing.

Sonic: Nice smile!

Sonic and Elise turn to look over at the horizon.

THE END


And that's the end of Sonic's story! It's gonna take some time for the 3 other stories. Shadow's story is still in development, I had some thoughts for Silver's, but haven't started yet, and I haven't even thought of the Final Story yet. Hope you enjoyed!
