After Sonic and Miles managed to get to their room, they both sat down.

"Wow, didn't know you were that epic at dancing!" Miles comments

"Stick with me, pal! The kingdoms can be a scary place but I know everything abotu this pale blue dot." Sonic stated

Miels stood up adn asks, "Do you really mean that?"

"Well, not everything everything, but I do watch a lot of Discovery Channel-" Sonic starts

"I meant about me being your pal." Miles comments

"Of course, bud." Sonci responds with a smile

Then, Miles hugged Sonic before sighing,

"Whoa, comin in hot!" Sonic comments with a light hearted chuckle

"Growing up, I didn't have a lot of friends." Miles comments. "Most people in my home village thought my two tailed invetion to more fit in with my parents was weird."

"Hey, I know that feeling." Sonic comments

"But then I saw you. The fastest Faunus in the galaxy!" Miles stated. "You were weird too! You were a LEGEND. That made me think maybe being weird isn't so bad. You inspired me to leave my village, to find you and help you in your mission."

"Well, i'm glad you're here, Miles." Sonic comments

"I'm glad i'm here, too, Sonic." Miles responds before they yawn

"Might as wellg et some sleep, we should be able to get clear readings on yoru gizmo when the storm is over so I-" Sonic starts before seeing Tials passed out and gently tuckign the blanket over him. "Night, bud."

The next morning, Miles was flying and he was also carrying Sonic.

"Hoo hoo! Today's forecast calls for clear sunny skies and a 100% chance of adventure!" Sonic comments

Miles's device beeped.

"I've pinpointed the coordinates!" Miles states. "It's just up ahead!"

Miles then landed himself and Sonic in a cave in the mountains. They found a massive owl door soon after.

"Okay...we got a giant owl door." Sonic states. "Seems encouraging."

When walkign through the door, they found a wall that had inscriptions on it.

"Can you translate that?" Sonic asks

"Uh...yeah. Ages ago, a group of fearsome warriors of echidna Faunus forged the 7 Mighty Emeralds into the most unstoppable weapon ever created." Miles translates

"The Emerald of Power..." Sonic comments

"With it, a single warrior could defeat entire armies. Believing no such person should have that much power, some owl Faunus got in contact with the God of Light and God of Darkness, and a few of the owl Faunus and the God Brothers recovered the emerald and swore to protect it from evil." Miles translated. "Sounds like the owl Faunus and Echidna faunus have been fighting each other for centuries."

"Like Vin Diesel and The Rock." Sonic comments before following Miles. "Hey, wait for me!"

They found a giant statue of an owl Faunus.

"Okay...giant owl door, giant owl Faunus statue, makes sense." Sonic comments, before noticing the symbols at the base of the statue. "Wait, i've seen these symbols before."

Sonic pulled out his map and realized the symbols were puzzles. So, he used the map to input the solution and the statue began moving and it's eyes emit a bright green light.

"Okay, that did something." Sonic muttered

Then, after seemingly scanning the two, the statue shot out a small compass to Sonic.

"The compass!" Sonic comments

"This should lead us to the emerald!" Miles states

After Sonic puts the compass into one of his jacket pockets, he saw a red dot appear on Miles's head.

"Hey, you got a little somethin on your..." Sonic starts before more appeared. "Oh no...Miles, get back!"

They tried to run but the drones scausing the laser dots blew up some walling, blocking the door. Then, some yodeling was heard and they looked at where it was coming from and saw Robotnik entering in his transport pod.

"Heads up my little stalagmites!" Robotnik says. "Someone call an Uber? Hey, thanks for doin all the hard stuff!"

Knuckles jumped down.

"But we'll take it from here." Knuckles stated

"Okay, we gotta talk about your new look, it's like Professor X meets the Monopoly Man." Sonic said to Robotnik. "And what kind of genius shows up to Atlas in A CONVERTIBLE?"

"The kind of genius that can turn up the heat..." Robotnik starts, lowering his goggles. "...with the flick of a switch!"

Robotnik launches a missile only for Sonic to grab it and hurl it back in hsi direction but it hit the statue, shaking the whole cave a little, and rubble fell onto Knuckles who stopped it with hsi brute force and the statue began falling.

"Good one!" Robotnik says. "I'm sure that wasn't important!"

"Miles, there's our exit!" Sonic exclaimed, pointing at the hole. "Come on!"

They headed for the hole, Sonic destroying a drone and holding the remains like a snowboard. When getting otu, Sonic loosk down.

"Oookay, Miles, you go high, i go low." Sonic stated

Miles nodded and flew off, Sonic began stretching.

"Quick little stretch aaaannnddd here we go." Sonic comments, snowboarding down the mountain

Sonic began snowboarding, however, drones poured out of the cave, Sonic noticing.

"Oh, so you wanna play?" Sonic comments

Then, the wasp drones began shooting lasers out of their tails.

"That's new!" Sonic comments

Sonic continues snowboarding down the mountain, as Robotnik was chasing Miles and Sonic obliterated the drones with his snowball throwing skills.

"Yeah! I Make this look good!" Sonic comments

Then, through an explosion, emerged Knuckles, still tailing Sonic.

'Oh great, the Winter Soldier." Sonic groaned

Knuckles side slapped Sonic into some nearby rocks and seconds after he came to, Knuckles goes to punch Sonic square in the face but he missed entirely, going through a few trees.

"For a guy named Knuckles you are REALLY bad at punching." Sonic stated

"SURRENDER THE COMPASS! You're no match for me." Knuckles said. "I've been training for this my entire life!"

"And I have no training at all and yet, here I am ahead of you!" Sonic responds. "That's GOTTA be embarrassing."

However, Knuckles had had enough and shattered the ground entirely sending Sonic into the air, Sonic covering his face in self defense.

Sonic ended up clinging to a cliff for his dear life and a good handful of his rings falling otu of his bag.

"MY RINGS!" Sonic yelped

Then, Knuckles lands and Sonic climbed up.

"Has anyone ever told you you got serious anger issues?" Sonic comments

"You mock me with your weak jokes but you know nothing about me,, hedgehog Faunus!" Knuckles responds

"Well, there's one thing I know,. Your people have a habit of showing up un invited and RUINING my life." Sonic responds

"Ruining YOUR life?" Knuckles retorts. "Another bad joke. I lost EVERYTHING because of you! My tribe was on the verge of it's greatest victory. The last of the brown owl Faunus warriors had been located and soon Longclaw's emerald secrets would be ours but my father stopped me from joining the fight. He said my moment to honor our tribe would come but it was not this moment. Those were the last words he spoke to me. I NEVER saw him again..."

That's when images of what happened that day flashed into Sonic's head.

"We both lost a lot that day..." Sonic comments

Sonic pulled out the compass and tried to hurl it to Miles while Knuckles wasn't looking but Robotnik swoops by, snatching it.

"LATER, HATERS!" Robotnik comments, launching a couple missiles from his pod

One hit Miles and knocked him out of the air.

"MILES!" Sonic comments, running over and checking on Miles. "Miles, come on, wake up!"

Knuckles jumped up and held onto the side of Robotnik's pod.

"he chose helping the kid over pursuing the compass." Knuckles comments

Robotnik scoffed and said, "Of course he did. New friends, same pathetic weakness."

Knuckles hummed in thought before an avalanche began, Sonic going wide eyed.

"Oh no, nonono, we're in real trouble now! I need you to wake up and fly us out of here, Miles!" Sonic comments, still trying to wake up Miles

"See ya, kids! Enjoy the fresh powder!" Robotnik said as he and Knuckles took off

Sonic just decided to pick up Miles and began snowboarding down the mountain as fast as he could to try to escape the avalanche
