"So, I understand that you and Sonic and the others were brought here by some rip in time and space, but I don't understand these "Chaos Emerald" things you keep going on about!" Chris said as he sat in front of his new friends.

"Well, you see..." Amy started "Chaos Emeralds are little gems that contain limitless magical powers, I bet you can imagine the power all 7 together possess!"

Chuck sighed "You say, that nobody has ever been able to round these Chaos Emeralds up? Well, that is probably even less probable now!"

Cream gave him one of her sweet looks and said "Why is that?" He looked at her sadly.

"You see, Cream, the Chaos Emeralds have completely disappeared!" Sonic laughed "That's maybe, you see, it ain't a fact, and while that remains a maybe and not a fact, there is still hope!"

They all nodded "That is right!"

Chris looked at his watch "Damn! Gotta go for school! See you guys later!" Chris said as he run out the door.

-

At a downtown construction site, a machine is seen digging, it picked up another mound of dirt and a shiny green gem fell out, it landed on the ground without a sound and continued to glow, it was a Chaos Emerald.

-

At an office a man sits in a suit, on a chair, facing the secretary of defence, he is the President.

"Where are they?" The President shouted, making the Secretary of Defence cower slightly.

"It seems the hedgehog and his friends are staying with a family in Station Square! Also, our agents have located Eggman to an island in the South Sea!" The secretary of Defence calmly responded.

The President nodded "Well, I want them captured, NOW!"

The Secretary of Defence began to get scared at his yelling "With all due respect, it might be better if we keep a close eye on them!"

The President slowly nodded "That is all well and good but you better keep special attention on that dangerous Dr. Eggman character!"

The Secretary smiled "I have sent a reconnaissance team to keep an eye on him!"

The President slowly nodded "Dismissed!" The Secretary nodded "Oh, wait a second, what of the animals?"

The Secretary turned back around "Well, I have sent an agent to keep an eye on the boy!" The President nodded yet again as the Secretary left the room.

-

The Chaotix were relaxing in their office.

"Team Chaotix, they are detectives you want on your side..." Vector sung while his headphones played, they all looked at him strangely.

"Vector, I'm bored!" Charmy droned.

"I don't care much, Charmy!" The bee turned red.

"I hate you, Vector, you stink sooooo much!" Vector jumped up from his chair and went to strangle him, he stepped on the remote and the TV came on.

-

Cream Cheese were asleep in the Thorndyke's living room, Cream had a book in her hands which was slowly slipping out of her grasp.

"This is Scarlet Garcia, and this is SSTV news, the builders that work her at the construction site had discovered a jewel that almost killed them all, it caused a digging machine to go on a wild rampage and nearly killed at least several people in the process, thankfully no one was hurt!" She held up a picture of a green gem as the book slipped out of Cream's hands and fell on the floor with a thud, she woke up startled. "This is an artist's impression of the Chaos Emerald, also you viewers may be experiencing interference and distortion, this is as a result of the gem's incredible magnetic powers!" Cream looked at the picture in her sleepy state and suddenly sprung awake.

"A Chaos Emerald! Come on, Cheese!" They run outside.

-

Chris was sitting at a table with his friends, Danny and Francis.

"Man, I bet that hedgehog is so fast, that they will never catch him!" Francis nodded.

"I bet you are right, Danny! What do you think, Chris?"

He looked panicked "Um, hmm, I dunno!" All of a sudden two adults stepped into the room.

"Excuse me, children, we are sad to announce that your teacher Ms. Eisenhower has become sick and you have a cover teacher for the rest of term! Meet Mr. Stuart!"

The blond man smiled at the children "Hello, children!"

They all waved "Hello, Mr. Stuart!" They all shouted simultaneously.

"He looks nice, doesn't he Chris?" Francis said to him, Mr. Stuart looked over and his glasses glinted before he faced the other way.

-

Dr. Eggman was back in his office, his servant robots, Docoe and Bocoe were out and about repairing stuff.

"A Chaos Emerald, hm?" He double clicked on an item on his Desktop on his computer, a folder opened he navigated and found the perfect robot "Beakon, perfect!" Eggman got up and walked over to the storage room "Ah, there it is, number 54, Beakon!" Eggman typed in the command and the door slowly opened "Beakon, turn on Chaos sensors!" The robot whirred a bit.

"Chaos sensors activated!" Eggman grinned.

"Go and find the closest Chaos Emerald!" The robot flew past him and out of the airway "Docoe, Bocoe, don't forget to keep the place clean while I'm gone, okay?" The mad doctor jumped in his craft and flew off after his robot.

-

Sonic was running into the city after Cream told him about the Chaos Emerald.

"Man, I wonder where it is?" Sonic jumped into the air, grabbed a pole, swung up and looked from the top of the city to spot the construction site "I can't see it, I suppose I will have to wait for Tails and Amy!" Sonic sat there.

-

Tails and Amy climbed into the Tornado 2, Tails after pressing many buttons started the Tornado 2 up.

"Please be careful, Tails and Amy!" Cream said, they both nodded.

"We will, bye Cream, bye Cheese, bye Chuck!" Tails said as the took off.

-

Everybody looked as the quartet of detectives walked through the city.

"So, Vector, what exactly are we up to?" Espio asked.

"Well, we grab this gem and we sell it for a quick buck!"

Mighty grinned "That ain't half bad, if we sell to the right buyer we could get a nice new place to stay, right?"

Charmy sat on his shoulder after he got tired of flying "Yea, Mighty, I suppose we could! Uh-oh!" Vector looked up in the sky and saw a familiar robotic bird.

"It looks as though, Eggman is back for more!" They all nodded as they advanced toward the oncoming robot.

-

Tails and Amy were flying by in the Tornado 2.

"Hey Sonic! Why are you still here?" Amy asked, Sonic laughed a little.

"You see, I am lost!" Sonic said with a silly grin, Amy grinned.

"It is right over there!" Sonic grinned before running off in that direction, he jumped off of a ledge, taking a magnificent jump, before being smacked into the air by Beakon.

"AH!" Sonic cried, Eggman laughed as he landed.

"Beakon should keep him busy for a while!" He then saw a young boy standing there with a Chaos Emerald in his hands, Eggman snuck up on him and snatched it.

"HEY!" Chris shouted as Eggman run back to his craft and took off, Chris fell to the ground angrily "Damn him!" he cursed.

-

The Chaotix were running for Eggman "He took that kid's emerald!"

Mighty sighed "Uh, "his" emerald? You mean "our" emerald, right?"

Vector got that soft touch look in his eye "Finders, keepers!"

Mighty shrugged "Well, we can jump from here and grab him!" They all nodded, they jumped and grabbed onto the side of Eggman's craft

"You losers, get off!" Eggman shouted at them, he began to spin his craft around, trying to shake them off.

"You keep trying, Egghead, we ain't leaving 'til you hand over that Chaos Emerald!" Eggman laughed.

"You think I will simply surrender it to you? Wake up!" Eggman pushed the accelerator to full speed in another attempt to shake them off.

"Listen. A, that trick is old. B, we are the best at what we do!" Vector said with a grin.

-

Sonic screamed repeatedly as Beakon continuously rammed into him.

"AH! GIVE IT UP!"

Tails looked sad "Poor Sonic!" Amy on the other hand looked angry.

"That damn robot!" The Tornado flew in close "Sonic needs a power ring!" Tails nodded, he increased the throttle and sped towards Sonic, Amy fumbled around for something in her pocket.

"AH! Found it!" Amy said, it was a power ring "SONIC! HERE YA' GO!" Sonic beside the Tornado 2, Amy handed the ring to him.

"Thank ya' Amy!" Sonic said, Amy just winked, Sonic floated there for a second, whitish yellow beams of light emanating from his hand, he then flew forward, with his fist extended in front of him and smashed directly into Beakon, tearing right through it, the bird exploded as Sonic safely touched down on the ground "Damn, where is the Chaos Emerald?" He looked over and saw the Chaotix handing it to Chris "Hey, thanks guys, you seem to be there for me lately!"

Vector chuckled "No problem!" they said as they walked off "Anyways, see you around, Sonic!" He waved as they disappeared.

-

Sonic and Chris slowly got onto the Tornado and started the engine.

"Quite a day, eh?" Tails asked, Sonic nodded.

"My poor Sonic!" Amy said as she cuddled up to him.

"Um, I'm fine really!" They all laughed as thy returned home.

-

Eggman was back at his base.

"Well, it seems that my robots can't beat that furball, so I will have Knuckles do it!" Eggman laughed "You know how easy that idiot is to fool!" Bocoe and Docoe nodded as Eggman continued his laugh.
