Sonic the Hedgehog: The Greatest Chase

by MatchMaker Amethyst

Sonic and the crew had stolen the file of Eggman's new plans and a mysterious black key. The key is "the key to Eggman's success." Eggman is going to a man or animal hunt the heroes by sending a group of bounty hunters called the Deadly Six to get the key back. Our heroes are going around the world to escape Eggman and save the world from his evil new plot.

Chapter 53: Australia VI

11:18 am (USA time: 11:18 pm) at Queensland, Team Sonic is flying above the state.

Then Amy says while reading the guidebook, "with an area of 1,727,000 square kilometers, Queensland is the second-largest state in Australia. The biggest in Western Australia. Queensland is nearly five times the size of Japan, seven times the size of Great Britain, and two and a half times the size of Texas. Queensland has five of Australia's eleven World Natural Heritage areas. These include the Scenic Rim National Parks, Fraser Island, Riversleigh Fossil Fields, the Wet Tropics (including Daintree National Park), and one of the Wonders of the World—the Great Barrier Reef. More than half of Queensland's population lives outside the greater metropolitan area of Brisbane—a large proportion compared with the rest of highly urbanized Australia. About one-third of Queenslanders are migrants or the children of migrants. Most settlers in Queensland during the 19th century were from Britain and Europe. In recent years there has been an increasing number of new settlers from South-East Asia."

"The last place for the last battery of Australia and its ray," said Sonic.

"The last battery is at Heart Reef," said Tails.

"Oh! That sounds nice," said Tikal.

Then Amy says, "Earth Valentine: Australia's Heart Reef- One of these thousands of reefs is Heart Reef, so named for its shape. It is located in the Whitsunday Islands and must be viewed from the air as the area is protected and snorkelers and scuba divers are not allowed to enter. It's also part of the Great Barrier Reef."

"Earth Valentine?! Nice," said Cream, impressed.

"And there it is," said Tikal, sees the reef underneath them.

"Tikal and Knuckles, you're going in while Amy and I will hold onto the rope," said Sonic, as Knuckles and Tikal ties a rope on each other.

As the echidnas go down with hedgehogs holding on to their ropes with Cream and Cheese's help, Tails keeps the plane steady. As Tikal carefully disables a 4ft battery in a 4ft plug from the Reef, Knuckles finds an amusement park ticket in the reef.

When Knuckles and Tikal come back up, Knuckles then says, "I found a ticket in the reef. How dare Eggman litters."

"Wait… this must be a clue to where the ray is," said Sonic, takes the ticket and looks at it.

"Where's it from," said Cream.

"Dreamland in Queensland."

"How convenient. They both end with land," said Amy.

"To Dreamland. And I bet Zavok is there too. Only 5 hours and 5 minutes away," said Tails.
