Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were sitting around in their makeshift base in a forest, awaiting any possible Eggman attack.
"Man, that Egghead sure takes his time with planning an attack this time around..." Sonic groaned as he was lying down on a couch.
"My guess is that he's planning to strike when we least expect it, Sonic. But I'm sure he will be attacking soon." Tails told Sonic.
"One thing's for sure: If he does attack, we're going to get him good!" Knuckles added. Sonic nodded in agreement.
"We will be sure to give him a good trashing." Sonic replied to Knuckles. Suddenly, the Miles Electric began ringing. Tails immediately grabbed it and checked what was happening.
"Oh! We got a video message from Eggman!" Tails said. Sonic and Knuckles immediately jumped to Tails' side to check the video message with him. Tails tapped the play button and the message began playing.
"Greetings, Sonic and Company! It is I, Dr. Eggman! You're probably wondering why I am sending you this video message, aren't you? Well, here's why: I will be launching a massive attack on Station Square together with my robot army. Think you can stop me, Sonic and Company?" Eggman said as he gloated.
"Doctor, I don't think it is very smart to announce your evil plan to Sonic and his friends. That's the main reason your evil plans always fail: Because you always announce them to Sonic and his friends." Orbot said to Eggman.
"Silence, Orbot! Now you go with Cubot to prepare for the attack!" Eggman ordered Orbot.
"Whatever you say, sir..." Orbot sighed as he and Cubot went to prepare for the attack on Station Square.
"Anyways, I hope you're ready, because this won't be an easy fight, Sonic and Company! I'll see you on the battlefield!" Eggman laughed as the video message ended.
"Whatever this fight will be, we can take it!" Knuckles said.
"You know it, Knux! We fought gods, giant robots, and so much more! We can take pretty much anything!" Sonic said.
"Alright, I'll prepare the Tornado. Hold on for a bit." Tails said as he ran to prepare the Tornado. Once the Tornado was prepared, the trio took off in it to Station Square.
"Let's do this, guys! Let's show Eggman that all these robot attacks won't get him world domination!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's get him!" Knuckles exclaimed.
"Let's show him who's boss." Tails added.
Meanwhile, over at the Chaotix Detective Agency...
Vector, Espio and Mighty were all in the office of the Chaotix Detective Agency, just minding their own business. Vector was listening to music, Espio was meditating and Mighty was just sitting around. Suddenly, Charmy flew into the office carrying a package.
"Guys! Guys! Guys! We got a job on our hands!" Charmy said as he startled Vector, Espio and Mighty and put the package down on Vector's desk.
"A job, you say? Let me see here..." Vector said as he opened the package. There was a bag of money along with a note in it.
"Oh! Money! And a note too!" Vector exclaimed as he grabbed the money and the note.
"What does the note say?" Charmy asked.
"Let me see right here..." Vector said as he began reading the note. "Dear personnel of the Chaotix Detective Agency, I have come to you because I'm in need of your services. I have already given you part of the payment, now follow the instructions on this note: A sapphire was stolen from the Station Square museum, and I need you to recover it for us. Think you can handle it? You will receive the other part of the payment once you have completed the job. – Station Square Mayor"
"The Mayor of Station Square? That sounds promising...But do we really think that this information is legit?" Espio asked, a bit skeptical about the situation.
"Oh, come on, Espio. Remember our policy: We never turn down work that pays!" Vector said to Espio.
"Yeah, remember our policy!" Charmy added.
"The last time we did a job like this one, we were tricked by Dr. Eggman and didn't get any payment. Remember that?" Espio replied to Vector and Charmy.
Vector was silent for a moment. "That is true...But nonetheless, we should go out to the Station Square museum and check this out. We'll never know if the information is legit until we see for ourselves." He said.
"I agree with Vector! Let's go to the Station Square museum anyway!" Charmy said.
"Let's do it then. Lead the way, guys." Mighty told the rest.
Espio sighed. "Very well, let's go then..." He said as he followed Vector, Charmy and Mighty.
In the next part, the two teams will arrive in Station Square.
