Author's Note: I apologize for the long wait for this chapter. College life is crazy. Hope you all enjoy.
Sometime after the incident, Heihachi found himself sitting across from Eggman in his base, whose robot assistants were behind him. Eggman asked, "Who are you and what do you want with me?" Heihachi replied, "I'm Heihachi Mishima, the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu. I've wanted to meet with you to after seeing what happened downtown the other day. I must say, I'm impressed" Eggman was intrigued by what Heihachi said, "Go on." Heihachi continued, "You desire world domination, and your machinery is very impressive. I could learn a few things from you." Eggman asked, "Anything else?" Heihachi continued, "Yeah. I have the same desires for world domination. We should team up." Eggman was shocked. An unknown to him, wanted to team up. He then asked, "Why should I team up with you?"
Heihachi then played Eggman a video on his screen. Heihachi explained, "I was looking into that robot of yours. It's quite impressive. But it seems like we got a little more than we excepted." The video than transitioned to footage of what was captured when the Tekken Force spotted Sonic and his friends on the roof. "Those pesky animals are quite the thing, and you want to stop them. Let me help you. In return, we can exchange ideas, and together we can rule the world."
Eggman asked, "How can I trust you?" Heihachi replied, "Trust me. Your machinery, my military, imagine the benefits." Eggman then thought for a bit. It seemed too good to be true. Yet at the same time, the two geniuses really could have a lot of impact if they work together. That, and they could capture their targets quicker. Eggman told him, "Alright. You got yourself a deal." The two then shook hands. Just as they finished, Heihachi noticed something, on the footage, where Sonic & friends were shown flying away, another figure could be briefly seen. However, Heihachi couldn't make out who the person was.
Heihachi then realized something. They needed to lure everyone out. But how were they going to do that? At that point they realized something. Eggman then mentioned, "The chaos emeralds. We find them, and could use them to lure them out. But how?" Heihachi replied, "I've got it. I'll host The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4." Eggman then replied, "Oh. I see. Offer them as a prize." Heihachi replied, "That will bring them out." The two then said in unison, "We'll take them all out and rule the world!" An evil laugh then filled the room from everyone for a short time. Shortly afterward, an evil smile crept upon everyone's lips.
Back at Michael's house, everyone was hanging out in his room, the Sonic & Tails enjoyed their girlfriends' company, while Michael, wearing a black graphic T-Shirt and black athletic shorts, was doing his usual internet research. Something then came across his mind that he hadn't thought of before. "I'm curious, you've explained to me that Chaos Control brought you guys here, and how time and space were warped because of Chaos Control, but what exactly are Chaos Emeralds?" Tails replied, "The Chaos Emeralds are ancient emeralds with powerful properties and abilities." Amy followed up, "Once you gather all seven of the Chaos Emeralds, legend says that the entire world will be in the path of your hand." Michael replied, "However, that might not happen. Legends have legendary heroes for a reason." Cream asked, "Will it ever end?" Michael told her, "I wonder if it will end. Sooner or later, the Chaos Emeralds may disappear."
"They haven't disappeared…Once more there are seven Chaos Emeralds and they have been scattered around again." Sonic said, "Then, you mean they're somewhere around here?" Michael asked. Sonic replied, "That's right." Tails replied, "You're kidding…where could they have been scattered to? Maybe they went back to our faraway world, or maybe they're somewhere in this world, but I don't really know."
Michael then realized, "If the seven emeralds are in this world, and we go a find them all, Chaos Control will happen again, and you guys can return to the other world. Right, Sonic?" Sonic replied, "Well, that's right!" Michael replied, "Good. We just have to prevent Eggman & Mishima from getting to them first."
Meanwhile, on an airplane, the president was being informed about what was going on. His subordinate told him, "Mr. President. Our colleagues have found a good place." The president replied, "What? Just where are they?" His subordinate replied, "The animals are in some rich kid's home in Station Square. Dr. Eggman has surfaced in the Southern Sea, where he has set up base in an obscure location." The president replied, "Alright then, chase after them! Right now!" His subordinate, worrying the president has lost his mind, replied, "Please wait a moment. Because we're lacking in correct information, we cannot hunt them out just yet." The president growled in frustration and said, "Then hurry up and stop Dr. Eggman's terrorist group." His subordinate replied yet again, "We are already monitoring Dr. Eggman's activity. The Southern Sea police patrol are finding him." The president yet again, "And those animals?" His subordinate replied, "We couldn't find much information on the kid, but we have just begun to monitor the animals. Another deputy agent is investigating. He'll find the place the boy is hiding them in."
Downtown was just as busy as ever. People having to get to places, and of course, construction work. At one particular construction yard, a Chaos Emerald was hiding within the dirt. That is, until one of the machines unknowingly struck the emerald head on. The green Chaos Emerald unleashed its power on the machine not only startling some workers, but causing the machine to go haywire in the process. The worker exclaimed in frustration, "Stop, you piece of junk! Stop, I said!" But it was no use. The driver jumped out as the machine got stuck on a hill of dirt. One of his co-workers asked, "What happened?" The driver, still stunned by what happened said, "I…I have absolutely no idea!"
Meanwhile, while Tails & Cream were sleeping together on the couch in Michael's living room, a news report about the Chaos Emerald aired.
"The police department have found the gem responsible, but have no clue what it is. It looks like an ordinary gem but it emits electric waves that demagnetize machinery. Most likely they believe the television you are watching now is being affected by this. The noise you're seeing on the television screen is due to the interference of the broadcast from the gem's energy." The reporter then held up an illustration of the Chaos Emerald. "The stone looks like this"
Tails had just opened his eyes when he saw the sketch and felt shocked. His reaction was enough to wake up his girlfriend as well.
"Cream, the Chaos Emerald!" She replied back, "We have to let Sonic know!" They both got off the couch and quickly ran to find Sonic, who was outside hanging out on the roof. He thought out loud, "Well, now! I wonder what I'll do..." As both Tails & Cream arrived, Cream yelled out, "Big problems, Sonic!" He looked down and saw Cream & Tails. He asked them, "What's up?" He looked over as Cream continued to say, "Big problems! Big problems!" While they were outside, Michael, who was just walking through, caught a glimpse of the report. "In the area around the site of the accident, no radiation has been detected. Just what made the stone affect the machine? Scientists are working hard to discover what it is. That's all. Scarlet Lucia reporting for SSTV." He shut off his TV after the report finished and said, "So they were brought here after all. I should gear up, and we should go get the emerald ASAP."
Unfortunately for them, Eggman had also caught a glimpse of the broadcast from his base and was ready to strike. He laughed and said, "If it isn't a Chaos Emerald…They came to this world as well. Hey!" Decoe came over with the deck of cards asking, "Yes, which will you choose?" Eggman took the cards and looked through them a bit. "Which will it be…Which should I use today?" Feeling undecided like usual, he put the deck in the selection machine, pushed a button, and pulled the lever. The machine stopped on Type E-11 Beacon. He exclaimed out in excitement, "Bingo! This is the one!" Type E-11 took flight with Eggman following it in his Egg Mobile. The agent sent to spy on Eggman's base, who was hiding in the bushes, saw him take flight and radioed in, "The terrorists have moved out." The commander replied, "Roger." As Eggman flew throughout the clear blue skies, he thought, "If I use the Chaos Emerald, I should be able to make a powerful mecha. And if I make a powerful mecha, then that Sonic won't be a problem at all!" Ending with an evil laugh, Eggman hurried off to snatch the emerald before Sonic and company could.
After discussing a plan, everyone geared up, Tails got the Tornado 2 ready for combat, with Amy in the passenger seat, and Michael, donning his black trench coat, on one of the plane's wings. Cream called out to Tails, "Be careful my hero." He replied back, "I will sweetie." Amy then mentioned, "But Sonic already went on ahead, though I wonder if he even knows where to go." Tails replied, "I don't think he knows. He just went to take a look around the area." Michael replied back, "I'm sure he'll be fine. The city is around here. This time it's big. One last thing before we go." He reached into his trench coat pocket, pulled out an all-black spirt band and put it on like a balaclava. "I need to wear this protect my identity. If Mishima sends someone, I could be compromised." After his explanation, they took off to find the emerald and Sonic.
Eventually, the found Sonic. "They finally arrived." Said Sonic as he stood up. "Really…they sure took a roundabout route." Amy called out, "Sonic! Over here!" He replied back, "And you should come more quickly over here!" He jumped off where he was to catch up to them. Meanwhile the construction site, a crowd of onlookers gathered around to see the scene after the craziness unfolded. The news crew found themselves chatting about not much, when all of a sudden, a wild Eggman appeared alongside Type E-11. The crowd panicked and ran the other way knowing Eggman meant trouble. As Sonic was hopping from building to building, he noticed the crowd running. He asked himself, "What happened?" before turning to see Eggman heading his way. "So, Dr. Eggman is also going after the Chaos Emerald, huh?" He then hurried to find the emerald as quick as possible. Eggman then noticed a figure ahead of him, Sonic. Eggman muttered to himself, "He's at it again, is he? E-11! Stop him from getting the Chaos Emerald! The robot then hurried ahead to catch up to Sonic.
As Sonic was running, he jumped, unfortunately it was in the way of the robot which knocked Sonic into the air. The robot then proceeded to bump Sonic around like he was a beach ball. Tails worryingly said, "Amy, give Sonic a ring!" She got a ring and said, "Sonic! Catch this!" She aimed her arm, "Here I go!" She threw the ring. It flew towards Sonic's palms. He attempted to catch the ring, but it slipped away and fell deep into the city. Sonic exclaimed, "No way!" Tails said, "Amy…" Amy replied back, "Oh no! I failed! Hey, can you get a little closer?" Tails replied, "It'll be tough, but we'll see!" Eggman did yet another evil laugh as his plan was working. "That's great! Well now, I'll go ahead and take the Chaos Emerald!" He landed the Egg Mobile at the now deserted construction site, hopped out, removed the tarp and dug for the emerald. He dug until he found the emerald. Just as he was about to take it, another hand snatched it from beneath the dirt, Michael, who had jumped off the plane. Eggman muttered out loud, "Who Dares!?" Michael replied back, "Looking for this?" Before putting the emerald in his trench coat pocket. Eggman attempted to snatch the emerald from him, but he failed because of Michael's swiftness and agility. Michael then took a long jump to the top of an empty parking garage waiting for Sonic, Tails, and Amy to arrive.
Meanwhile, Heihachi was watching from his command center and wasn't impressed with the way the battle was going. "Seems like someone else is aiding the animals after all. He looks familiar, but the mask is preventing from seeing who it is." Heihachi knew he had to do something to get the emerald for Eggman and himself. He called upon one of his soldiers, "Tougou!" Tougou had arrived quickly. "Yes Sir?!" Heihachi then gave him the order, "Someone's interfering with an associate's mission of ours. He may be working with those animals." Heihachi then pulled up a map revealing Michael's location, "He's someone where around here, find him and take the Chaos Emerald from him!" Tougou replied, "Yes Sir!" before heading off to find Michael. Heihachi then thought to himself, "If that's who I think it is aiding that pesky Sonic, we're going to have a serious problem."
Meanwhile, Eggman, who had just been knocked down, got up and radioed Heihachi, "We've got a serious problem." Heihachi replied, "Yeah. I'm aware. I'm sending one of my best soldiers to take him out. Just worry about the animals." Eggman quickly headed back into the Egg Mobile to catch up with Type E-11, who was still bouncing Sonic around.
As Michael was waiting for Sonic & company to pick him up, another figure dropped in on the roof top and called out, "You!" He turned around, it was Tougou wearing his standard Tekken Force armor. "Give up the Chaos Emerald now!" Michael replied, "And if I don't?" Tougou drew his sword from his sheath and declared, "Then I'll take it from you by force." Michael replied back, "Nice sword, but it's not gonna beat this!" He then drew a katana with each hand before combing the handles together with ease to create a double ended katana. He exclaimed, "Come on." The two proceeded to battle for a while.
As Type E-11 was still tossing Sonic around, Tails had flown in closer to give Amy a 2nd shot a giving Sonic a ring. Amy held the ring in her hand and called out, "Sonic!" He had jumped up enough to successfully take the ring from Amy. Afterwards, he quickly regained his balance, wound up into his power spin mode, and sliced through the Type E-11 Beacon causing it to explode. After he landed, he heard the sounds of swords clashing. It was Michael battling Tougou. Sonic called out, "Michael!" He hopped on top of the building to signal to Tails & Amy where he was.
Michael and Tougou didn't notice Sonic's arrival as the two were busy focused on battling each other. Eventually, Michael got the upper hand knocking Tougou back in the progress. Tougou asked, "Just who are you?" Michael replied, "I'd rather not say." Soon enough Tails & Amy arrived. He jumped on the right wing of the plane as he detached the handles of his swords before sheathing both of them, while Sonic hopped on the left wing, as they flew back to Michael's house.
After the battle, an Evac copter picked Tougou. Heihachi, along with a government agent known as Mr. Stewart, were in the chopper. Tougou told the two, "He's very powerful. I can't help but feel like I know him from somewhere." Heihachi asked, "What did he look like?" Tougou replied, "I couldn't tell. He was wearing a balaclava. He looks to be Caucasian. He was tall, brown eyes, and that's really all I can say." Heihachi further replied, "Damn It! How am I going to get him?!" Mr. Stewart added in, "May I suggest, a trap?" He replied, "Oh believe me, I've got one trap planned for him & Kazuya alright."
Cream waited on the rooftop for everyone to return. Soon enough, Sonic, Tails, Amy, & Michael landed the Tornado 2 on Michael's rooftop. They hopped out of the plane after the successful landing. Cream ran up to Tails to greet him, "Tails!" She called out. Tails called out back to her, "Cream!" They ran into each other and embraced one another within their arms. She told him, "I'm glad you guys are back safe." Before giving him a short but sweet kiss on his lips. She then asked, "Did you guys get the emerald?" Michael replied, "Sure did." As he pulled out the emerald from his trench coat pocket after turning his spirit band into a neck scarf. Cream asked, "It all starts with one, right?" Amy replied, "And there's only six more left!" Michael replied, "Yeah, but we can't keep it like this since it affects machines, right?" Tails replied, "Don't worry! My machine is still working…" Michael replied back, "Oh yeah! I'm sorry!" Tails replied, "It's nothing!" Before heading inside, Michael took one last look at the emerald and said, "This is only a start, but I know, we'll get the emeralds." The gang then headed inside to relax after a day of battling.
Back at Mishima Zaibatsu Station Square branch, Heihachi sat within his command center with only his thoughts of revenge. "The time has come." After thinking for some time, an evil smile crept upon Heihachi's lips. The stage was set for trap to lure Kazuya, Michael, Sonic, and his friends.
