Part 2: Tails' Adventure
Chapter 1: Tails' First Battle
After Sonic rescued Tails from the crash, Sonic and Sally spoke with him. "Tails, you usually don't crash like that," said Sonic. "What happened?" asked Sally. Tails explained, "I was testing a new prototype. Still has some bugs worked out, but eventually, it'll be better than the Tornado! And check out the power source!" Tails revealed a Chaos Emerald. Sonic and Sally were stunned, as were their children SJ and Lily. "I'll show you more at my workshop!" said Tails. All went to the workshop in the Jungles of Mystic Ruin. Tails took a slight pitstop to find a special enhancement known as the Jet Anklet. "I'll bet this will come in handy!" thought Tails as he rejoined his friends at the train station.
But once the group got there, Dr. Robotnik awaited them! "Ah... good to see you, my enemies!" "Robotnik!" Sonic gasped. SJ and Lily clung to their mother. "That's right, rodent," replied the egg-bellied madman. "And I believe you have something I want! Hand over the Chaos Emerald, or else!" "We choose else!" replied Sonic. "Very well," Robotnik said, "I shall have to take it from you... by force!" At that, he got out the Egg Hornet.
Sally, SJ, and Lily went to safety while Sonic and Tails battle the Egg Hornet. Sonic drew the machine's fire, while Tails went and attacked with his tails. They took turns in the assault. Eventually, the Egg Hornet fell apart. Sally, SJ, and Lily cheered, but the Eggman wasn't finished yet. Once the opportunity came, Robotnik grabbed the Chaos Emerald from Tails! "Hey!" cried Tails. Robotnik yelled, "Chaos! Time to eat!" "Chaos?" the group gasped. The watery beast rose from the ground. Robotnik threw the gem at the monster, and it changed. "Hah! Every time I give Chaos a Chaos Emerald, he changes and grows stronger! Farewell, fools! Ha ha ha..." At that, Robotnik and Chaos vanished.
Chapter 2: Race You To The Emeralds!
After Robotnik and the Chaos monster vanished, Sally and the children came to Sonic and Tails. "Sonic, are you all right?" Sally asked. "Yeah," replied Sonic, "but Robotnik's got a nasty ally." Tails said, "The only way to stop Robotnik is if we get the Chaos Emeralds first!" The group soon went to go get the Chaos Emeralds. Lily gave the two the Wind Stone, which was used to open the portal to Windy Valley. After the brief race through the valley and challenge in the tornado, Tails said, "Hey, Sonic! Race you to the Emerald!" Sonic couldn't resist the challenge! "You're on, Tails!" he said. Tails made a quick shortcut by going down to a nearby path. By using some special Dash Rings, and some other special tricks, Tails got to the Emerald before Sonic. "Cool, Tails!" said Sonic, "You really are a fox!"
Later, in Casinopolis, Sonic and Tails learned of the sewers below. Sonic decided to have another race, so he deliberately fell out of a machine to go into the sewers. But again, Tails quickly learned the layout. After some close calls, Tails again beat Sonic at the race! "Whoa, Tails!" said Sonic, "Pretty soon, you'll graduate from apprentice to a certified, card-carrying hero! Keep up the perseverence!" "Thanks, Sonic!" replied Tails. After getting out of the sewer, Sonic won the pinball game with enough rings to make their way to the Chaos Emerald!
But as they left the Casino, Robotnik was waiting for them! "Ah... welcome!" chortled Robotnik as he gassed them. Very soon, they were unconscious, and Robotnik stole the Chaos Emeralds from them. When the two recovered, they saw Sally, SJ, and Lily over them. "Daddy!" SJ and Lily said as they hugged their hero father. "Man, we must've been out all night!" said Sonic. "Robotnik's got a head start! We gotta move!" SJ then gave the pair the Ice Stone, which opened the path to Icecap. The two went back to Mystic Ruin to enter the Icecap.
Chapter 3: A Slight Quarrel
Once in Icecap, after the battles in the ice caverns, another race was held... this time on snowboards. "Let's rock!" they said as they slid down the slope. The two outraced the avalanche, and played around on the ramps and tunnels in the course. Sonic showed off a bit, thinking he would win, but he slid into a tree. Dazed but unhurt, Sonic continued to race after him, but Tails made it first! "Yeah!" cheered Tails! Sonic applauded and said, "Good job, Tails! I just got a bit careless. But then, Sally says I do that a lot!" Tails snickered as the two left Icecap. Once out of the cave, the two noticed Knuckles the Echidna.
At first, Tails wanted to go up and ask how Julie-su and Lara-su (Knuckles and Julie-su's daughter) were, but Knuckles then attacked. "Whoa! What's wrong, Knux?" asked Sonic. "You have pieces of the Master Emerald, and I've come for them!" Knuckles replied. Reasoning with Knuckles at this point was close to impossible, because Knuckles has been known to be goal-oriented, and is not easily stopped. Battle was inevitable, so they prepared to fight. Sonic and Tails fought well against Knuckles. But Knuckles and Sonic took a head-on collision that knocked the Chaos Emeralds from Sonic.
The Eggman soon came and fed the two stones to Chaos. After a slight quarrel over who was to blame for the fight, they realized that now they had to face Chaos again. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles teamed up and battled the Chaos monster again. Being in its natural element-- water-- this would be dangerous, yet the team defeated the watery beast. After this battle, Robotnik retreated to his Egg Carrier. Knuckles said, "You go on ahead. I'll continue my search for the Master Emerald pieces." Sonic and Tails got onto the Tornado and flew after the Egg Carrier. Unfortunately, despite a valiant effort to defeat the ship, a laser blast takes off the Tornado's wing. Sonic landed back into Station Square, while Tails lands in the jungle.
Chapter 4: Calm Before the Storm
After recovering from his fall, Tails looked and noticed a frog swallowing a Chaos Emerald. "Hey, come back here!" called Tails as he followed the frog to a cave. The amphibian sank into a sand pit. Tails jumped up and hit a target to open the sand pit. He entered the place called Sand Hill. After sand surfing down the hill, he soon catches up with the frog. "Gotcha!" said Tails. But soon, a mysterious light surrouned him, and the light grew brighter, temporarily blinding the fox.
When he was able to see again, he saw himself at a mysterious city. "Where am I?" asked Tails. Many echidna wandered about, going about their business, only occasionally to look at the foreigner in astonishment. It was also here that Tails found the mystical Rhythm Badge! After getting this item, he went and found the young echidna girl by the steps of the temple. "Ah, there you are!" said the girl. Tails asked, "Um, hello... who are you?" The maiden said, "I am Tikal! I am pleased to meet you." But before Tails could talk further, the vision faded. A large cat with a fishing pole, Big the Cat, charged toward him! After tripping, he looked up to his frog friend and said, "Hi, Froggy!" Froggy got loose and hopped off. Big cried, "Froggy! Wait!" and chased after the frog.
While the cat went after his frog friend, Tails decided to go and get his Tornado 2 ready. The plane soon took off. "Hang on, Sonic! I'm coming!" said Tails as he flew off to find his blue friend and mentor. Eventually, he found Sonic on Red Mountain. "Hop on, Sonic!" he called out. Sonic said, "One of Robotnik's goons took Amy to the Egg Carrier!" Tails nodded and they flew toward the ship. And a storm rolled in as they neared the monstrosity.
Chapter 5: Robotnik's Wrath
The two faced the Egg Carrier again, and the Tornado 2 fought valiantly. This time, the plane was able to fight not only the missiles and planes, but was able to smash the cannon. But after the gunfight, Tails realized that he forgot to add landing gear. So they had to crash land. After the crash landing, the two explored the ship, but it soon transformed. They soon learned the only way to reach Robotnik now was the Sky Deck. Tails asked, "Maybe in the first part of the Sky Deck, we could have a race?" Sonic said, "Hey, why not? After the first part, it'll get more difficult, so we may as well make the most of the first part." After a brief race in the first part of Sky Deck (and with Tails winning), the pair continued on. Eventually, they met up with Amy, who witnessed Robotnik taking a Chaos Emerald from her bird friend.
"Now that I have what I need," said Robotnik, "I have no more need of you! GAMMA!!!" The robot soon rose up and prepared to fight. After Gamma was ordered to take care of the group, the fight began. Sonic and Tails fought Gamma, and Gamma fought back. Amy decided to put an end to the fight! "Sonic! Tails! Mr. Robot! Please stop!" cried Amy! "What are you doing?" asked Sonic and Tails. "This robot saved me!" replied Amy. She turned to the robot and said, "Mr. Robot, I know you're not really evil! These are my friends!" Tails said, "I hope you know what you're doing..." The ship soon shook. Sonic said, "Tails! Get Amy out of here! I have some unfinished buisness to tend to!" Tails nodded and carried Amy out of the Egg Carrier. Gamma flew off as well!
Once back in Station Square, Sally, SJ, and Lily welcomed Tails and Amy back. Lily asked, "Where's Daddy?" Tails said, "He has to take care of stuff." Soon, all noticed Robotnik leaving the ship. "My Chaos is defeated! But I'll still destroy Station Square!" They soon saw a missile fired at the city, but it didn't explode. "Curses!" griped the madman. "A dud missile! I'll have to arm it myself!" Sally said, "Tails, until Sonic gets back... if he does... you are our hope!" Tails said, "Right! It's up to me now!" Tails knew that he had to make Sonic proud!
Tails entered Speed Highway to outrace Robotnik. Knowing of the Dask Rings, Tails used the available shortcuts and eventually beat Robotnik to the missile, making it unusable. Robotnik roared in rage and got out the Egg Walker. Tails looked at it carefully and noticed some targets on the feet of the walker flash when the thing stomped. Being quick, Tails waited for them to flash and hit the pads. When he did so, the carriage came down, and Tails smacked it. Eventually, the Walker crumbled. Robotnik retreated! Tails had saved Station Square. Meanwhile, Sally, SJ, and Lily were going to check on their beloved hedgehog, Sonic. But they were nonetheless grateful that Tails had saved Station Square in Sonic's absence.
End of Part 2
Part 3: Knuckles' Adventure
Chapter 1: The Beginning of Trouble
Knuckles, his wife Julie-su, and their daughter Lara-su, went to check on the Master Emerald, the very source of Floating Island's power. But soon, the Chaos Monster came. "Daddy... Mommy... what is that thing?" asked Lara-su as she clung to her mother. "Whatever it is, it's going down!" replied Knuckles. But before he could do anything, Chaos smashed the Master Emerald. Soon, the Floating Island fell to Earth, on the shore near the Mystic Ruin. Julie-su said, "Lara-su and I will make sure everyone else is fine." Knuckles said, "And I'll look for the pieces of the Master Emerald." Knuckles then glided off toward Station Square.
"Now to look for those Master Emerald pieces," said Knuckles. "It won't be easy." Knuckles first went into Speed Highway, searching for the Master Emerald pieces. After a few run-ins with some of Robotnik's robots, he soon found three of the shards. Knuckles soon sensed that there were shards in the Casino. Knuckles opened the Casino and stepped in. He glided around, eventually finding all three within the Casino. But once he had the shards, he had a vision. He soon entered the vicinity of a temple. After exploring, he saw a young maiden echidna and her father. "Father," said the maiden, "we can survive without the Chaos Emeralds. Don't do this wicked deed." The father, however, did not seemed fazed. He later followed the girl to a shrine to the Master Emerald. The girl said, "My grandmother once told me this incantation, and told me never to forget... 'The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos.' But... what does it mean?" The vision soon cleared.
After the vision, Knuckles exited the Casino and entered the hotel. But he noticed Robotnik nearby and followed him. Knuckles said, "Dr. Robotnik!" Robotnik said, "Knuckles? Here? No matter... CHAOS!!!" Chaos soon rose. It had already absorbed two of the Chaos Emeralds. Knuckles battled bravely and soon bested the watery fiend. Robotnik said, "Very good, but you're not the only ones hunting for the Chaos Emeralds! Sonic and Tails are after them too!" Robotnik then left. Knuckles was soon confused. Should he team with Sonic in hopes of regaining the Master Emerald shards... or believe Robotnik and fight the one who was truly his friend?
Chapter 2: A Minor Disagreement
Knuckles soon explored the jungle, all the while contemplating the vision and his meeting with Robotnik. He sensed some shards from Red Mountain, but he could not get in because a Kiki Robot was guarding the passage. "If only there was a way past the thing," thought Knuckles. He explored the jungle and first found his Shovel Claw. Using it to dig, he found what is called the "Monkey Destruction Switch." He first tried it out on the Kiki nearby, causing them to explode. "Great!" said Knuckles! "Now I can enter Red Mountain and find the Master Emerald pieces there." After clearing the monkey, he entered the large Red Mountain area.
"This place is large," said Knuckles as he explored. The volcanic activity, mixed with the robots, made the journey rather ardorous. But Knuckles, the ever vigilant guardian, soon found the three pieces of the Master Emerald therein. But once he left the vicinity of the mountain, he soon returned to the waterfall and found Sonic and Tails. "It's them," thought Knuckles. "And those shining objects... are those by chance... pieces of the Master Emerald? I'd better find out!" Knuckles then ambushed them! "Whoa!" Sonic and Tails said in fright. "Hand over those pieces of the Master Emerald!" demanded Knuckles! The fight ensued. After a few rounds, Sonic and Knuckles went head on and knocked each other out. Two Chaos Emeralds fell from Sonic, and Robotnik stole them!
Knuckles then realized, albeit too late, that he had been duped again. What mattered now was to stop Chaos, since Robotnik gave the two Emeralds to Chaos. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles teamed up to face the beast. Eventually, the monster gave up and retreated to Robotnik. The two foes then retreated to the Egg Carrier. Sonic and Tails went to fly after them. "You go on ahead," said Knuckles. "I still have more pieces of the Master Emerald to find!"
Chapter 3: The Riddle of the Lost World
After wishing his friends good luck as they flew off, Knuckles went deeper into the jungle. He soon noticed a gold statue, and, after seeing the temple in the distance, believe it goes there. He put the gold statue in its place, then realized another statue should be nearby. After exploring the jungle and digging, he found the silver statue and put it in. Before entering the portal, Knuckles saw a strange glow. He glided toward it and found what was called the Fighting Glove. A voice told Knuckles it would give him the "Maximum Heat Attack." "Great!" said Knuckles, "I could use some extra firepower!" Knuckles then returned to the temple and entered what was called "Lost World."
The Lost World was relatively small compared to Red Mountain, but was no less dangerous. Many robots and traps loaded the place. This made getting the Master Emerald shards harder to find, but he soon did. After getting the pieces, Knuckles returned to the island. Julie-su and Lara-su welcomed him back. "Knuckles!" Julie-su cheered! "Daddy!" added Lara-su. "Now, let's get the Master Emerald back together!" said Knuckles. But when he tried to, he noticed a small gap in one of the sides of the Emerald.
"Knuckles, what's wrong?" asked Julie-su. "Some pieces are still missing," replied Knuckles. The three echidnas soon noticed a robot going by. Knuckles said, "I'd better follow it. It may lead to where the final pieces of the Master Emerald are." "Good luck!" said Julie-su and Lara-su. Knuckles followed the robot onto the Egg Carrier. The ship soon took off. As Julie-su and Lara-su watched as the ship took off, they prayed that Knuckles would be safe.
Chapter 4: The Final Pieces of the Puzzle
Knuckles explored the ship of the Egg Carrier, it soon transformed. Knuckles entered and noticed the swimming pool drained. He found a portal and used it to enter Sky Deck. Knuckles looked about and dared the challenges. Eventually, he got all three shards, but soon, the spark of light he saw earlier transported him back to the Shrine of the Master Emerald, and this time things were not well. The shrine was a burning ruin, and the maiden, named Tikal, wept as she knelt before the ruins. "Oh, father..." cried Tikal, "Why did you have to do this evil? Now what will cleanse our people from this wickedness?"
Once the vision cleared, Knuckles noticed trouble nearby. He went to the circular arena, where he reunited with Sonic. "Sonic!" said Knuckles. "Great to have you hear, Knuckles!" replied Sonic. A cat, Big, cried out, "Froggy!" Chaos absorbed the frog and the Chaos Emerald he carried. Sonic said, "Knuckles! We need to buy our cat friend some time to get the frog out! Once the frog is out, we'll cream Chaos!" "Right!" replied Knuckles. Sonic and Knuckles created a diversion to allow Big a chance to get Froggy out. Once that was done, it was time to battle Chaos.
Knuckles punched a satellite and threw it at Chaos, which froze him. After punching it, Knuckles noticed it was in pain, and shouted, "Sonic! Freeze it with a satellite, then attack!" The two worked together and eventually took down the fiend. Sonic made a soft landing in the jungle, while Knuckles glided back to his loved once, with the final three pieces in tow. "Knuckles!" Julie-su cried with joy! "Daddy!" said Lara-su. Knuckles soon placed the Master Emerald pieces, and the Master Emerald was whole again. Floating Island returned to the sky, and the Echidna Family rejoiced.

Chapter 1: Tails' First Battle

Tails explained, "I was testing a new prototype. Still has some bugs worked out, but eventually, it'll be better than the Tornado! And check out the power source!" Tails revealed a Chaos Emerald. Sonic and Sally were stunned, as were their children SJ and Lily. "I'll show you more at my workshop!" said Tails. All went to the workshop in the Jungles of Mystic Ruin. Tails took a slight pitstop to find a special enhancement known as the Jet Anklet. "I'll bet this will come in handy!" thought Tails as he rejoined his friends at the train station.
But once the group got there, Dr. Robotnik awaited them! "Ah... good to see you, my enemies!" "Robotnik!" Sonic gasped. SJ and Lily clung to their mother. "That's right, rodent," replied the egg-bellied madman. "And I believe you have something I want! Hand over the Chaos Emerald, or else!" "We choose else!" replied Sonic.

Sally, SJ, and Lily went to safety while Sonic and Tails battle the Egg Hornet. Sonic drew the machine's fire, while Tails went and attacked with his tails. They took turns in the assault. Eventually, the Egg Hornet fell apart. Sally, SJ, and Lily cheered, but the Eggman wasn't finished yet. Once the opportunity came, Robotnik grabbed the Chaos Emerald from Tails! "Hey!" cried Tails.

After Robotnik and the Chaos monster vanished, Sally and the children came to Sonic and Tails. "Sonic, are you all right?" Sally asked. "Yeah," replied Sonic, "but Robotnik's got a nasty ally." Tails said, "The only way to stop Robotnik is if we get the Chaos Emeralds first!" The group soon went to go get the Chaos Emeralds.

After wishing his friends good luck as they flew off, Knuckles went deeper into the jungle. He soon noticed a gold statue, and, after seeing the temple in the distance, believe it goes there. He put the gold statue in its place, then realized another statue should be nearby. After exploring the jungle and digging, he found the silver statue and put it in. Before entering the portal, Knuckles saw a strange glow. He glided toward it and found what was called the Fighting Glove. A voice told Knuckles it would give him the "Maximum Heat Attack." "Great!" said Knuckles, "I could use some extra firepower!" Knuckles then returned to the temple and entered what was called "Lost World."
The Lost World was relatively small compared to Red Mountain, but was no less dangerous. Many robots and traps loaded the place. This made getting the Master Emerald shards harder to find, but he soon did. After getting the pieces, Knuckles returned to the island. Julie-su and Lara-su welcomed him back. "Knuckles!" Julie-su cheered! "Daddy!" added Lara-su. "Now, let's get the Master Emerald back together!" said Knuckles. But when he tried to, he noticed a small gap in one of the sides of the Emerald.
"Knuckles, what's wrong?" asked Julie-su. "Some pieces are still missing," replied Knuckles. The three echidnas soon noticed a robot going by. Knuckles said, "I'd better follow it. It may lead to where the final pieces of the Master Emerald are." "Good luck!" said Julie-su and Lara-su. Knuckles followed the robot onto the Egg Carrier. The ship soon took off. As Julie-su and Lara-su watched as the ship took off, they prayed that Knuckles would be safe.
Chapter 4: The Final Pieces of the Puzzle
Knuckles explored the ship of the Egg Carrier, it soon transformed. Knuckles entered and noticed the swimming pool drained. He found a portal and used it to enter Sky Deck. Knuckles looked about and dared the challenges. Eventually, he got all three shards, but soon, the spark of light he saw earlier transported him back to the Shrine of the Master Emerald, and this time things were not well. The shrine was a burning ruin, and the maiden, named Tikal, wept as she knelt before the ruins. "Oh, father..." cried Tikal, "Why did you have to do this evil? Now what will cleanse our people from this wickedness?"
Once the vision cleared, Knuckles noticed trouble nearby. He went to the circular arena, where he reunited with Sonic. "Sonic!" said Knuckles. "Great to have you hear, Knuckles!" replied Sonic. A cat, Big, cried out, "Froggy!" Chaos absorbed the frog and the Chaos Emerald he carried. Sonic said, "Knuckles! We need to buy our cat friend some time to get the frog out! Once the frog is out, we'll cream Chaos!" "Right!" replied Knuckles. Sonic and Knuckles created a diversion to allow Big a chance to get Froggy out. Once that was done, it was time to battle Chaos.
Knuckles punched a satellite and threw it at Chaos, which froze him. After punching it, Knuckles noticed it was in pain, and shouted, "Sonic! Freeze it with a satellite, then attack!" The two worked together and eventually took down the fiend. Sonic made a soft landing in the jungle, while Knuckles glided back to his loved once, with the final three pieces in tow. "Knuckles!" Julie-su cried with joy! "Daddy!" said Lara-su. Knuckles soon placed the Master Emerald pieces, and the Master Emerald was whole again. Floating Island returned to the sky, and the Echidna Family rejoiced.
