Rocket's POV
I walked up to the entrance for Speed Highway. I saw Cream and Cheese frozen in time and a Sol Emerald floating right above them. "After this, it's City Escape. Then Seaside Hill, Shadow, Perfect Chaos, Crisis City, Rooftop Run, Planet Wisp, Silver, Egg Dragoon, and Time Eater for the grand finale," I said to myself. I took out the Wave Emerald I had with me and looked at it. "Only five more emeralds to go," I said before putting the emerald away. I then stepped up to the entrance and walked right through.
I turned around, gave a thumbs-up to no one in particular, and started my run through Speed Highway. I boost jumped to reach a rail that brought to a part of the highway that had a raised lane. I ran on the right lane until Quick Stepping to the left lane. I hitched a ride on another rail, then switched to a nearby rail when I saw the other rail ended. I then ran horizontally along the side of a building while avoiding bombs. I made it to a object that resembled the front of a bulldozer and it sent me to a higher level. I used a Trick Jump Panel to get into a nearby building. I broke through two glass barriers and used Stomp to get to a spring that propelled me forward. I used the Lightspeed Dash to travel along a row of rings, then continued on. I smashed a Spinner and used the boost to enter a Four-Way Cannon. It shot me upwards and I used a cluster of balloons to get to a spring that propelled me up to a row of rings I then Lightspeed Dashed across. I used another Trick Jump Panel to launch myself up to the landing skids of a nearby helicopter. I hanged on until dropping and skydiving toward a platform right below me. I landed on the platform, trashed a Spinner and ran into two Cop Speeders. I ran through a lobby and out the window. That was when things got interesting. A whole army of Cop Speeders followed me down the side of the building. I then remembered there were mirrored pillars nearby. I Side Stepped when I saw one to avoid running into it. I made it to the bottom of the section while the Cop Speeders crashed into the floor. I continued on and made it to the goal.
I was sent back to White Space where Cream, Cheese, Speed Highway, and the Blue Sol Emerald were all restored. I grabbed it as it came down and added it to my ever-growing collection of emeralds: both Chaos and Sol. So far, I had the Yellow Sol Emerald from Green Hill, the Cyan from Chemical Plant, the Red from Sky Sanctuary, and the Blue from Speed Highway. As for the Chaos Emeralds, I currently had the Wave and Jet emeralds. I still needed to get the Tails emerald, the Sonic emerald, the Knuckles emerald, the Storm emerald, and the Cyan Emerald. "Thanks for saving me, Mister Rocket," Cream said, causing me to snap back to reality. "No problem, Cream. Anything to help out a friend," I replied. I then looked on and saw City Escape, the very world I visited in my past life. I swore to myself that I would save Rouge even it took me a millennium.
