Chapter 52: Australia V
4:16 pm in New South Wales, Team Sonic is flying above the state.
"The capital of New South Wales is Sydney, the site of the country's oldest European settlement and its largest and most cosmopolitan city, with ethnic communities from more than 100 countries. The city's icons include The Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Harbor Bridge, and The Sydney Opera House. Sydney hosted the 2000 Olympic Games, an important international financial center and home to one of the world's great seaports," said Amy.
"Amy said one of our locations," said Tails.
"Which one? The Harbor Bridge," said Tikal.
"No. The Opera House."
"The Opera House?! You know how Knuckles and I are with that type of music," said Sonic.
Then Amy says, "the Sydney Opera House is Sydney's most popular tourist attraction, as well as one of the world's busiest performing art centers. Popularly known as the 'Opera House,' this building breaks ranks on many different levels. No other building on earth looks like the Sydney Opera House. Moreover, only a handful of buildings around the world are as architecturally and culturally significant as the Sydney Opera House."
"I have a good opera voice," said Cream.
"And I see the House. Let's go," said Tikal.
On the Mainstage of the Opera House, Team Sonic is looking around the place. Tails and Knuckles check the roof, Amy and Cream check the stage and Sonic, and Tikal checks the empty audience seats.
"Hey, guys! We found the battery! Knux, do you have my toolbox in your back," said Tails.
"Sure thing. It's probably in the bottom of my backpack," said Knuckles, takes off his backpack.
When he looks through it, he takes out a giant submarine in his backpack and says, "nope, that's not it."
When he puts it down on the ceiling, he takes out Tails' tool book, and Tails says, "you can put a cruise and a submarine in your backpack?! Where did you get it, anyway?"
"You mean my backpack? Well, I got it from a shop that's own by some female humanoid alien from another planet called Planet Aquamarine. That's also where Tikal got her bag of disguises from the owner too."
"And where was this shop, exactly?"
"It was built in Master Island, during the night."
After Tails disable the battery and plug, Tails and Knuckles notice Zavok is on stage to take the black key from Amy; while Sonic defends her, Cream, and Tikal.
"We got to help them," said Knuckles, puts his backpack on.
"Wait… I got an idea. Cream! Sing a Tenor High C," said Tails, notice the submarine is above Zavok.
When Cream begins to sing in a high tenor c, the House begins to vibrate and causes the submarine to fall on Zavok.
When Cream stops sing, she said, "does anyone have a water bottle?"
When Tails comes down the battery and the plug in his hand and Knuckles, Knuckles takes out a water bottle from his backpack and gives it to Cream.
"Next stop: Bondi Beach," said Tails, leaves the House with his friends and Zavok crushed by the submarine; behind.
4:39 pm (USA time: 4:39 am), Team Sonic is on the road in their jeep.
Then Amy says, "Bondi Beach is one of Australia's and the world's most famous beaches. It has a village atmosphere and very little high-rise development. The beach is roughly a kilometer long and is patrolled by lifesavers. There are activities all year round at Bondi beach, from surfing competitions and kite flying to festivals and markets. The Sculpture by the Sea exhibition was initiated in 1997 and is Australia's largest annual outdoor sculpture exhibition. It is held in October-November. The Festival of the Winds is held on Bondi Beach each September."
"Best vacation beach search ever," said Sonic.
"Remember, we're looking for the battery," said Tails, who parks the jeep.
The girls quickly rush out of the jeep and enjoy the breeze in their hair and ears.
"We're going to have looked all over the beach to find the battery," said Tails, who comes out of the jeep.
But then notice Amy is pretending she's the queen of the world while Sonic holds her arms.
"I can't believe you agree to do this with me," said Amy, blushing.
"I would do anything for the most loyal friend in my life," said Sonic.
As Tikal and Knuckles takes pictures of the hedgehogs, Cream is watching the waves in with Cheese.
"Guys! Hello! Aren't you forgetting that the world is at stake," said Tails, annoyed.
"Come on, Tails. Enjoy the beauty of the beach," said Tikal.
Then the waves wash the last Chaos Emerald and a 2ft battery in a 2ft plug to shore.
"Guys! I found the battery and plug. Also, the last Chaos Emerald," said Cream, gives Tails the battery and plug.
"Great. Now, we can enjoy the beach more," said Knuckles.
"We'll stay here for 30 minutes, and then we'll find a hotel," said Tails.
5:13 pm (USA time: 5:13 am) at Hotel Ravesis, Team Sonic is dining as they enjoy the scenery of Bondi Beach.
"We sure were lucky to find a hotel near the beach. Now, we can watch the sun setting," said Amy.
"Hey, guys! I think I see some of our friends on the beach," said Cream.
Team Sonic sees Team Chaotix, Team Dark, Silver, and Blaze are at the beach with the rest of the citizens.
"They're lucky that they're on vacation. We are still on a mission," said Knuckles.
"Hey, we're almost done, right? We can't feel left out now," said Amy, trying to cheer her friends up.
"I also got an Australian Boomerang," said Tikal.
"To Queensland will take 2 hours and 18 minutes to get there," said Tails.
"And we'll party for Australia's freedom," said Sonic.
"We also have to free Antarctica."
"What?! Why would Eggman control an Iceland," said Amy.
"Don't worry, Amy. We'll be done with Australia and Antarctica. And then we will party," said Sonic.
