"...A battle occurred here last night with Commander Prower, his men, and Agent Shadow battling Countess Rouge and her clan…" The matured fox was watching the news as he was reading the research on chaos energy and the report on Angel Island.

The woman reporting was asking a rather chubby man about last night's events "…then she crashes into a gray echidna, I think he said his name was Diesel, and then the commander backhands him out of the way and then they rumble…"

"Commander Prower, there's a call for you." Tails' secretary, a pink hedgehog, came out of the corner.

"Thank you, Eura." Tails remained focused on his papers and instinctively pressed the loudspeaker option on his phone.

"Hey hon!" This caught Tails' attention and his focus was averted.

"Hey Wave."

"How ya' been?"

"Great! How's Babylon?"

"Not that good. We're experiencing a lot of turmoil and King Valecia needs me 24/7!"

"Too bad. Guess I won't see you for my vacation then?"

"Guess not."

"So how's Amy?"

"Oh, she's…" Wave was cut off by Amy.

"Who's that?" Amy smiled an evil grin.

"Oh, it's no one." Wave was getting suspicious.

"Oh really? Well, since it's no one why don't you just hang up and let's talk about someone that is a someone, like Tails."

Wave panicked and mustered the only words that she would later regret. "Tails!? How's did you know we were married!?" Wave was dumbfounded by the information she just gave. 'Idiot, why did I just say that!?'

Amy started to burst into laughter "Married!? Jet said you had a crush on him but… married!?"

'Jet!? When I get my hands on him I'll…' Before Wave could complete her mental rant, Tails cut her off.

"Wave!? You still there? Wave!?"

"Um, yeah I'm still here. Look, can I call you later, I have to take care of something."

"Sure."

Wave hung up and Tails began reading once more.

The news was still playing "…And then earth covered the guy and when Commander Prower smashed the stone, he was gone." Tails had wondered how a guy can actually create earth. It was impossible! "Thanks for that Jim. Now, the military is taking action and definitely living up to their duties and we can be sure that the government is giving their all into this. This is Rhea Rockwell signing out." And at that the T.V. was off.

Lara-Su had entered the dining room, seemingly lost in her thoughts in pleasure.

'Wow! She must've been having a lot of fun with that Gear.' Sally took notice of her rather blissful state.

"Lara, would you come in here please?" Lara-Su got out of her trance, with a bit of a shock, and entered the hall.

She spotted Rotor in the next room.

"Oh, there you are. Could you pass me that wrench?"

Rotor points to a nearby table in the brightly lit room.

Rotor's room was always filled with technology. You could see multiple motherboards lying around, the walls were paved with wires, not to mention the highly sophisticated computers which he built all by himself.

"So, how long till you get this thing up and running?"

"I've ran a few tests and judging on the physics on this thing it'll be up and running again in about a month."

Lara nodded and leaves Rotor to his work while she heads into the dining room for her breakfast.

Late that night in the Babylonian kingdom Wave has requested an audience with King Valeccia Schere.

"… and so I humbly reside from my position." Wave had just ended her speech.

"What!? But who's advice would I seek?"

"My King, Jet is, was, and always will be the best choice for my position."

Valeccia faces his royal guard, Jet, who's dumbfounded at her proposal, and remembers that he was the first person he offered this job to.

"Jet," Wave catches his attention. "right now Babylon is under turmoil and I fear I can no longer do this. You said your goal in life was keeping Babylon safe, and with me in this state it will only result in tragedy. When we were in the Babylon Rogues you gave the shots and we got what we wanted. But me in this position seems like I took your place. I don't call the shots Jet, you do."

Jet understands the logic and gulps before nodding anxiously. 'I don't think I'm ready for this'

"Very well Wave, you may leave."

Wave winks at Jet then leaves out of the castle.

'I'm gonna get you for this, Swallow!' Jet lets out his anger within his thoughts.

Wave exits the room and takes off from a balcony with her gear. 'I'm comin' Tails.'

That very same night, a fleet of jets were gliding to Angel Island.

"Coordinates set. Captain we are ready to fire."

"Good, wait till I give the order." Commander Prower wanted to wait for the right time.

A few transports arrived at the corners of Angel Island. A few heavily armed soldiers had entered the forest while some took the time to help operate the transports as they transformed to siege mode.

"Ground troops ready." Lieutenant Bazzel whispers into his com link.

"Alright! Begin the assault!"

It was too silent for Knuckles. It was never this quiet.

"Fire!" The fleet fires ballistic rockets. Knuckles merely blocks with his arms and braces for impact.

The volley of rockets smash the shrine and as the smoke clears up Knuckles remains in tact.

Knuckles gets up with a few bruises and as he's hidden within the ruins. He scans the area for the Master Emerald, and as he gathers enough strength, he promptly searches for it, pushing aside pieces of rubble.

"Go! Go! Go!" Lieutenant Bazzel calls out as his troops head out.

'Found it!' Knuckles discovers the Master Emerald and gets out.

"He's escaping sir!" An approaching soldier exclaims as Knuckles heads for the mystic ruins.

Just in case some of you didn't get what information was handed out in this chapter I'm giving you guys my feedback. First off: Tails and Wave are married, and secondly: Amy's sister is Tails' secretary.

And to find out why Tails is attacking Angel Island, well you'll just have to find out in the next chapter.
