The number of chapters this arc of the story will have is as of yet… unclear. Doubt it will be too many though. Here's the next chapter of the sonic arc. And thank you to the reviewers who have given me the information I wanted. Thanks!

Mysterious Shadows
Sonic was just sitting around waiting on Tails to finish examining the Warp Stars.
"Have you figured out how they work yet?" Fox asked.
"Yeah, we really need to go find the others." C. Falcon said.
"I have no clue when I'll be finished." Tails said. Pichu was bored waiting on the others. He decided to get in to mischief after he sat down. He ran over to a warp star and sat down on it.
Pichu was thinking to himself. "I wish this thing would fly forward." No sooner did he think that, the warp star flew forward. "PIIIIIICHUUUUU!" The warp star crashed through the wall and it kept on going, with Pichu clinging for dear life.
"Great, the little guy is already in to mischief." Fox said.
"How'd he make it fly though?" C. Falcon wondered.
"Will he come back though?" Sonic asked, and as if those were the magic words.
"PIIIIICHUUUUU!" Pichu screamed as he came back through the hole and crashed in to one of Tails' machines.
"Oh no! That was my next model of the Tornado." Tails complained. Pichu crawled out from the wreckage, ready to pass out again.
"How'd you make that thing fly?" C. Falcon asked.
"Pichu… Pi…"
"It just flew when you thought about how you would like to fly forward." Fox said.
"Well, problem solved. Let's go." C. Falcon said. The three smashers hopped on a warp star.
"Wait a minute, we're coming too." Sonic said grabbing a blue extreme gear with two air jets.
"My Tornado…" Tails couldn't stop staring at his wrecked device.
"Tails, you'll have plenty of free-time later." Sonic said. Tails sighed and grabbed his extreme gear.
"Eh why not?" Fox said.
"Pichu." He nodded. And so, the five of them flew off.
Meanwhile…
The other three smashers flew up to the blimp in the air and saw three figures on a wing attached to a propeller on the blimp. They looked like a green hawk, a purple swallow, and a gray and white albatross.
"Excuse me." Ness said.
"What is it?" Jet said with a sly smile.
"Can you tell us how to get to South Island from here?" Nana said.
"Well maybe we do, but…" Wave began to say.
"Oh! We're east from it right now." Storm said.
"Storm!" Jet shouted.
"Thanks!" Popo said as the three of them turned around.
"Not so fast!" Jet shouted. As he got his extreme gear ready. "As payment for the directions, we'll be relieving you of your valuables!" Jet said.
"Uh-oh," Ness said as the Babylon Rogues surrounded them.
"Storm, go collect it." Jet said. Storm flew over on his extreme gear.
"Fine…" Ness said. He reached for his pocket, he then suddenly… "PSI Flash!" Green light appeared and made a bright flash that blinded the rogues.
"What the… they got away!" Wave said. "Wait, there they go!" Wave said pointing to the west.
"After them!" Jet said.
With Ness and the Ice Climbers…
"Are you sure this is East?" Nana asked.
"No! But it's better than being surrounded by those guys." Ness said.
"They're gaining on us!" Popo shouted. Indeed, the Babylon Rogues were gaining on them with their extreme gears. Ness used his psychic abilities to make a wave to slow them down.
"Come on! There are some mountains over there!" Ness shouted, pointing to some nearby coast. The three of them turned full speed to the mountains.
"Ha! Did you think waves would slow us down?" Wave said. The smashers were stunned to sea the Babylon Rogues right next to them.
"Extreme Gears are built for stunts you can do on waves and ramps and such." Jet said with a cocky smile.
"Now to pound you!" Storm said moving in on Popo. Popo flew backwards and covered his mallet in icy spikes. He took a swing at Storm while Storm threw a punch. The punch broke the ice covering the mallet as if it was glass. Storm threw another punch at Popo, who ducked under it and did a leg sweep with his mallet. It nearly threw Storm off of his Extreme Gear.
Nana was fighting off Wave by taking several swings with her mallet. Wave was fighting with her wrench. Wave swung with her wrench while Nana blocked with her mallet, Nana then blasted Wave with a blizzard attack. This caused Wave to slow down a bit.
"Offense up!" Ness shouted, he took out his Yo-yo.
"What's a Yo-yo going to do. Huh?" Jet noticed Ness was giving off a glow that faded quickly. Jet shrugged and got closer and did a sweep-kick while on his board. Ness managed to dodge and counter by throwing his Yo-yo forward. The Yo-yo hit the board with a heck of a lot more force than Jet was expecting and this caused him to lose his balance and slow down.
These fights were going on for a while, even while they were going through the winding mountain paths.
Meanwhile…
Fox, C. Falcon, Pichu, Sonic, and Tails were flying through the mountains.
"Are you sure they're here?" Fox asked.
"Yeah, when I scanned the warp stars, I tuned their energy signature so that my radar could track them." Tails explained.
"That helps." Fox said.
Meanwhile…
Eggman was in his lair staring at his monitors. "What? They couldn't have known my new lair was in the mountains. Why me?" He asked himself. "And where are my robots? I dispatched them since the end of the last chapter, they've had plenty of time to catch up." Yes he now realizes what Pichu meant in the last chapter now. "Ah, there they are." Eggman said.
Back with the group of five…
The five of them were taking a break. "Sheesh, how long have we been flying?" C. Falcon said. A humongous group of egg-shaped Robots suddenly appeared, surrounding the group.
"Surrender now smashers!" A voice came from one of them robots.
"That's Eggman's voice!" Sonic said.
"I guess we know who our enemy is." Fox said, getting ready to fight.
"Yep." C. Falcon said.
The robots moved in on the group of five. Sonic curled in to a ball and rolled through a bunch of robots, smashing them to pieces. After that, he leaped in to the air and did repeated homing attacks on the robots.
Fox pulled out his blaster and blasted a large amount of robots. After that, Fox put up his blaster and began to dash through a bunch of robots with Fox illusion. "Sheesh, there sure are a lot of them." Fox decided not to waste any time. He began to run in to the crowd of robots, flames began to ignite all over his body as he was running, and soon he was like a living fireball and began burn through several robots at a time.
"Show your moves!" C. Falcon shouted for no apparent reason. He then dived in to a crowd of robots with his falcon kick, eliminating a few. He then launched in to a series of combos of flaming punches and kicks. After that, he leaped as high in to the air as he could while carrying a robot with him. He then dived back in to the ground catching fire as he did so. He hit the ground with the robot to soften his fall, and flames exploded, incinerating a few more robots.
Pichu stared down a humongous number of robots that were surrounding him. "PIIIIIIICHUUUUUU!" Pichu made a humongous lightning bolt hit him, causing a huge amount of electricity to discharge from him. Shutting down all the robots. "Piiichuuu." Unfortunately, the attack damaged the mouse a little too much and he collapsed.
"There's too many of them." Tails said, obviously not doing as well as the others. He then ran to the collapsed Pichu and got in front of him, waiting for impending doom. Tails closed his eyes, he heard some noises, and when he opened them. He saw Knuckles landing devastating punches on the robots, destroying them.
"Hey guys! Need a hand?" Knuckles said. He did triple punches and then he leaped in to the air and punched the ground. Causing an earthquake, and a few rocks to fly out of the ground. The earthquake eliminated a few, while the rocks crushed the others. It didn't take too much longer for the robots to be eliminated.
"Thanks Knuckles." Said Sonic. Introductions were quick.
"So, looking for Eggman huh?" Knuckles asked. Everyone nodded. "Well, I'm looking for him too. He took my Master Emerald from me, and I'm looking for some payback."
"Master Emerald?" Fox asked. Everyone then explained the Master Emerald and its awesome power. "Oh…"
"And thankfully…" Knuckles continued to say. "I found his lair. I'll show you the way." Knuckles said pulling out a red Extreme gear. Everyone shrugged and decided to follow.
Meanwhile…
The other three smashers were still fighting off the Babylon Rogues.
"Give up already!" Jet demanded.
"No way!" Ness shouted back. The smashers made the warp stars come to a complete stop and the Rogues flew past them. The smashers then hopped on to solid ground.
"Grr… come on!" Jet said. They were about to turn around when egghawks came flying in after the Rogues.
"Jet! We've got company!" Wave shouted.
"Ah great, deal with these robots first." Jet said.
Meanwhile, robots, not as large of group as surrounded the other smashers but pretty large, surrounded the smashers.
"Great." Popo said.
"Hey look! It's the others!" Nana shouted. The other three looked to see the others following three other creatures they haven't seen before.
"You guys go! I'll hold them off here!" Ness told them. "Go after them!" The Ice Climbers wished him good luck and flew off on their warp stars.
"PSI Rocking!" Colorful orbs of energy flew forward and decimated a large number of them. "Dang! Still too many." Ness said. He fired multiple PK fire attacks but still couldn't manage to wipe out enough to stop them from converging. "This was a bad idea." Ness said. The robots were about to strike at once when…
"Chaos Control!" Ness saw a blue flash from somewhere and then some figure appeared and attacked the robots before disappearing again in a flash of light. The figure then reappeared and attacked more robots before warping again. The figure reappeared again and this time he dashed through a large group of robots, destroying them. He then jumped off the mountain wall and he dashed through another group. He then began dashing around, decimating the remaining robots.
Ness stared at the figure, he appeared to be a hedgehog, a black hedgehog with red streaks on his back spikes and arms. He was also wearing shoes with small jets on the soles. "Whoa! Thanks." Ness said. The figure turned around and faced Ness with a piercing glare.
"I didn't do that to save you human." He said with some disgust.
"What?"
"I am Shadow, the world's ultimate life-form." He introduced himself. "You appear different from most humans I've seen, this seems like the perfect test to prove that I am the world's ultimate life-form!" Shadow continued.
"I might be in trouble, this guy is good." Ness thought to himself.
Meanwhile…
The Ice Climbers were catching up to the group. "Hey guys!" Popo shouted.
Only Tails heard them shouting. "Huh? Hey, aren't those your pals?" Tails asked Fox. Fox turned around and looked.
"Yeah, they are." Fox said. Tails slowed down to look, at about the same time a humongous boulder appeared and blocked off Tails and the Ice climbers from the rest of the group. "What the!" Fox said.
"What is it?" C. Falcon asked.
"The Ice climbers were back there." Fox said.
"Dang! Tails got separated from us too." Sonic said.
"We don't have time to stop guys." C. Falcon said.
"He's got a point. Let's go!" Knuckles said.
"Pichu…" He sighed. The five of them rode off.
Meanwhile…
"Huh? How'd this boulder get here?" Tails asked as the Ice Climbers caught up.
"No! How're we supposed to catch up now?" Popo asked.
"Uh, guys. Look." Popo said pointing at three figures on top of the rock.
"Thought you lost us huh?" Jet asked.
"Hey! It's that yellow fox!" Wave said pointing at tails.
"Let's get 'em!" Storm shouted.
"Payback time!" Jet said as the three of them dived down on their gears.
"Here goes." Popo said.
Meanwhile…
The other five had managed to get inside the base.
"Here goes guys." Fox said.
"Pichu." The five began to walk down the corridors.
