"Here, I found the third one. Will it fit together when all the parts are combined? "Light, darkness, pair, exist, unlimited, rule, seal…" I can make out each word, but I still don't understand the meaning of the whole thing." Red Ring ChuPea's voice instructed over the latest message.
Chuih, ChuBei, MAG, and Sue were standing before an ancient pillar, adorned in the symbols of generations past. They had locked themselves in this small room. Here lied the pillar and a rather large red transporter.
"Well, this adventure isn't getting solved by us sitting here. Let's go!" Chuih, the Humar, urged his compatriots.
ChuBei sighed. "Dude, it was crazy out there! What do you think it'll be like further along! I don't even think Red Ring ChuPea could be in there!"
"Don't say such things ChuBei! I know that if you look inside, you'll find the courage to beat em!" Sue braved.
"…Wahteva. Say are we getting this done or not. For one, I really don't care 'bout no damn pointy rocks that glow…yea." MAG interjected.
"Look! Doc Osto's Research is vital to the entire Blue Rocket 2 community! I personally think that his research had something to do with the mysterious disappearance of everybody down here." Sue smiled.
"Well, Virus's just don't put themselves in. And this is one doozy of a virus! It would take days for Vol Opt to download into the computers through an internet connection. It must have been an inside source!" MAG explained.
"Alright! Here's my opinion dudes! Calus was talking to Elly Ppppeeeerrrsssooonnn and opened an e-mail. This e-mail mentioned clowns and silly beagles! Since Calus was probably afraid of both, he freaked out! Doc Osto had to order Metal Sonic in and take over. And Vol opt is really a hamster that was on Metal Sonic's shoulder!" Chuih's eyes sparkled.
"…O.K…But mine makes more sense. Doc Osto was working on some nasty experiments down here. That would explain Beta 772. The Chu Chu's of Blue Rocket 1 must have caught on, and he was caught! But if they didn't have proof, they couldn't arrest him, or something like that. So he put in Vol Opt and escaped. Vol Opt then took over the Mines and killed all the Chu Chus!" Sue explained her idea.
"Eewww. That's sick!" The three others gagged.
"But that doesn't explain why everyone's gone missing…" Sue thought.
"How bout, let's shut up and find Red Ring ChuPea! She's probably already figured it out!" MAG screamed.
"Right!" The others saluted.
The group stepped inside, and teleported.

It was a round room. And large too. The walls were covered in monitors of all sides. The floor was an octagon, with smaller octagons within. The ceiling disappeared into inky darkness above. The four found themselves in the center.
"Woah! You could watch, like, a hundred and seventy six shows in here! I wonder what kind of surround sound they have!" Chuih smiled.
"And to think! You could play Samba De Amigo in here and it would be like, 3-D real!" ChuBei screamed.
"This must be the control room!" Sue sang.
"You are correct, you pitiful life form!" A digitized voice bellowed from all direction. ChuBei turned to the monitor he was messing with to see a very strange circuit crescent floating inside. Hey, you've seen Vol Opt 1! He's really hard to describe to people.
"Vol Opt?" MAG asked.
"Hah! That is I! I see my reputation precedes me! Then you know, that you must die! All life forms are to be destroyed within these "Mines"" the virus explained.
"Hey! You put parenthesis marks around Mines. You must think that that's a gay name too!" Chuih noticed.
"As a matter of fact, I do think that it is a very stupid name for this place. The factory, or the laboratory would have sounded better." Vol opt responded.
"Yea! Stupid Sonic Team, err, Blue Rocket 1!" ChuBei replied.
"Well, it has been fun, but it's time to get to work!" With that Vol Opt vanished.
The smaller octagons made way fro red metallic totem poles that erupted from the floor. A metal 3–D structure of a triangle (The amplifier, you've seen it) fell into position near the dark ceiling.
"ChuBei! Fire at theeee aaaammmppliiifier thiiing…?" Chuih questioned his own orders.
"Alright captain!" ChuBei saluted as he mounted his DIM SNIPER +12 (hey! He found a lot of monogrinders, sheesh!) And fired away.
The Amplifier fell as a certain totem turned red. An attack was forming, but the Hunters would get the chance to make there's first! Chuih sliced away with his BUSTER +1 at the weird totem thing until it stopped operating.
"You fools are quite the mischievous bunch." Came Vol Opt's rather sophisticated satire. He had emerged on a monitor, mocking SUE'S HUNTER PARTY. "You think I haven't noticed your antics? Honestly, you steal jokes from so many movies like they were going out of style! Austin Powers, The Sphere, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, just to name a few."
"Uh-oh! You iz gone and dun it!" MAG warned the virus. Chuih's face turned a brilliant red as his eyes burned in madness. "You have gone and insulted his comedy routine!"
Vol Opt started moving from screen to screen. "Oh boo frickin hoo! This entire story has been nothing but bad puns! The only good joke was the first page with Principal Tyrell!"
In a storm of fury, Chuih leaped across the entire arena, cleanly stabbing his Buster into the screen. He then decided to swipe, stab, jab, strike, slab, cut, and other adjectives for destruction a hundred times over until he was more than three times his body length inside the computer. The totems ceased. With that much mad damage points, nothing could have survived. Chuih came out of his fury.
"I pity da fool who say I ain't funny! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, beotch!" Chuih smiled.
