CHAPTER 7
THE TREASURE OF BABYLON REVELED
Later at Babylon Garden, Eggman tightened his grip around Wave's wrist as he was leading her towards a huge door.
Wave hit Eggman in his arm, "Hey fat ass knock it off!"
Eggman faced her with annoyance, "Shut up and cooperate so I can get the treasure of Babylon!"
"That treasure belongs to Jet!" She shouted.
"I said shut up, girl!" He jerked her arm once more.
"Stop that hurts!" Wave tried to pull away, but Eggman wouldn't ease up on his tight grip.
Eggman stopped at the huge door and pulled out the Babylon Control Box. He held it up at the door and the door suddenly opened. Eggman quickly pulled on Waves's wrist again, "Come on!"
Once they were in the building they saw a blue treasure chest. Eggman smiled with excitement, "The treasure of Babylon Garden!" He walked over towards it ready to open it, until he heard a voice behind him.
"Don't touch it!" A cold voice said.
Eggman turned and saw Shadow and the rest, "You!"
Wave saw Jet with a face full of anger, "Jet!" She shouted with tears.
"Wave!" Jet glared at Eggman, "Let her go!"
Eggman took out a small red gun and pointed it at Wave's head, "I don't think so."
"Don't hurt her!"
"It's her or the treasure."
Jet sighed, "Fine...just don't hurt her..."
Eggman threw her towards Jet.
Jet caught her in his arms, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but the treasure..."
Eggman walked towards the chest and opened it. He saw nothing in it but a rolled up cloth. "Huh?" Eggman took the cloth out of the chest and unrolled it. The piece of cloth looked like a carpet with very detailed designs on it. "What the hell? What is this?"
Rouge examined it, "It looks like a carpet."
"A what!" Eggman dropped the carpet on the floor, "I can't believe I held the Ex World Grand Prix for this-this piece of junk!" Eggman then fainted on the floor.
"Is that really the treasure of Babylon?" Charmy wondered.
As Shadow picked the carpet off the floor, the carpet all of a sudden hovered above the ground. "What's it doing?"
Storm gasped, "It's magic!"
Wave placed her hands on her hips, "Are you saying this carpet is a magic carpet?"
Jet jumped on the carpet and sat on it. He started to laugh and faced his gang, "It's a magic carpet all right."
Shadow faced Jet, "Are you leaving?"
Jet nodded, "It's best to. Me and the guys got business to take care of and we can't let no one get in the way."
"It's your life."
Wave got on the carpet as well holding Jet close.
Storm was about to get on it.
"Hold on Storm, this thing may have a weight limit."
Storm crossed his arms in anger and glared at Jet.
Jet began to laugh, "Just kidding, get on."
Storm calmed down and got on the carpet.
As Jet, Wave, and Storm left with the magic carpet, Shadow, Rouge, and Charmy said their goodbyes.
Rouge leaned on Shadow, "You think we'll see them again?"
Shadow smiled, "I have a strong feeling we will."
Meanwhile the Babylon Rogues were using the magic carpet to fly in the orange sky.
Storm had his back turned not facing Jet and Wave. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
Wave looked into Jet's blue eyes. He seemed sad to her, "Sorry about your treasure, Jet."
Jet faced her, "What do you mean? I just realized that I had my treasure all along."
Wave's eyes widened, "What? What was that?"
Jet warmly smiled at her, "You."
Wave leaned towards his warm body and hugged him, "Jet...I love you."
Jet hugged her back, "I do too." While he was hugging her, he heard a whisper from Storm.
"Do it", Storm had said.
Jet then took out a small black box and showed it to Wave.
Wave gasped, "...Jet..."
Jet took a deep breath and opened the box. The box contained a small engagement ring loaded with diamonds on the top. "Wave...will you marry me?"
Wave was all of a sudden full of happiness. She bursted into tears and nodded, "Of course I will."
Jet smiled happily as he took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger.
Wave embraced around Jet and kissed him with tears still flowing down her cheeks.
Storm sighed and turned his head, "Jet...the things I do for your happiness."
