A week's passed; everyone's gotten to know each other in this time. The girls bonded over different activities like Julie-Su and Cream competing at the shooting range in Emerald City, and Amy and Saffron reading different Novels together. The boys spent the week a little differently, Sonic and Knuckles continued their comedic fighting across the yard, Mighty and Ray had a eating contest, and the rest helped Tails work on the aircrafts.

Sonic rests under a tree, relaxing as the mild breeze swims through his quills, blowing it on a side like a flag. He snores lightly, barely audible; he shuffles onto his side and curls up into the fetus position with a smile on his face-seems he's having a good dream. Knuckles comes marching outside and spots sonic; devil horns sprout from his head as he bears an evil grin and laugh. He tip-toes closer to Sonic, creeping behind him pulling out an airhorn from his hammerspace.

"Muhahaha!" laughed Knuckle jubilantly, pressing the airhorn with full force in Sonic's ear; Sonic jumps in shock and hits his head on the tree. Tails comes storming out the mansion-running to them.

"Guys, I'm all set! We can finally get going." hopped Tails; Sonic covers his ear, trying to relieve the pain.

Sonic and Knuckles gather everyone in the backyard, where Tails waits with the aircrafts ready to unveil them; A total of 7 planes were there.

"After completing the planes and doing an extended analysis of everyone here, I've finally made the proper teams for everyone."-Taking out a sheet of paper and adjusting his glasses-"Amy and Cream, you'll search Station Square. Sonic, you called for the Red desert. Knuckles, you'll be partnered with Julie-Su and search South Island. Ray and Mighty, you'll take Chun-Nan. Espio, you'll search Arcadia. Vector and Charmy, you'll be in Holoska. Saffron, you and I will search Apotos. Is everyone all good with the choices made?"

Everyone seemed content with the choices and he unveiled the planes; 7 jet fighter planes-all state of the art. Amy and Cream boarded their Pink and Cream colored ship and made flight for Station Square.

"We'll contact you when we find anything." Said Amy, taking off.

Knuckle and Julie-Su followed and soon everyone left for their destination of finding the Chaos Emerald before Dr. Eggman could tamper with their power via the Master Emerald.

At the same time in a location unknown, sits a bay with a cove. Upon closer look, the cover has a sign with Dr. Eggman's logo. Dr. Eggman sits in his chair devouring a huge burger when he gets a video report from Orbot on the massive TV monitor in front of him.

"Dr. Eggman we have possession of the Master Emerald. We are now making way to the base, please have the entrance open, sir." Reports Orbot; Cubot's sleeping in the background.

"Good news to hear, when you return, we'll discuss the plan!" responds Dr. Eggman, taking another big bite; Orbot shows gratitude to Dr. Eggman showcasing a shred of kindness to him after all these years.

"Not you-stupid bucket of bolts! I'm talking about the magnificent Rock user behind you!" Shouts Dr. Eggman-directing with his hand for him to move-"I look forward to seeing what you do in the near future."

"Likewise…" responds the mysterious figure in a cool voice.

Dr. Eggman proceeds to typing on his computer unitl a two cameras come up, one of Tails and Saffron flying en route to Apotos and the other of Sonic flying to the Red desert.

It's a good thing I kept tabs on Sonic and Tails! So they're planning on collecting all 7 Chaos Emeralds before I can launch my attack with the Master Emerald! Man, those two are smart! Thought Dr. Eggman, playing over the audio from Sonic and Tails and the other's conversation. I knew all about their whereabouts because that's what a good villain does, and I'm the best around! Installing those microscopic microphones and cameras surely did their job. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all again.

Dr. Eggman gets up and heads to his Egg mobile, piloting across the base viewing the mass collection of different badniks and even modified ones like the Egg pawns. He enters a dark room, passing 4 chambers that contain silhouettes of what appear to be new robots that he is creating, and reaches the end of the room where a bright light shines on the newest creation of his.

"Soon…Soon you'll create destruction that this planet has never seen! My two years worth of work will finally blossom when the Master Emerald arrives!" he says aloud to himself. I know all those sleepless nights of failures on the previous six…emotional wear and tear…and countless hours of tweaking-will finally end with your birth! I'll call you G.E.7! Global Eradicator the 7th version!

He pulls out the Smartphone from his pocket and issues a command to his Badniks, "All of you will begin your duties as of today. 500 of each type are to report to these locations: Arcadia, Apotos, Chun-Nan, Holoska, Spagonia, and Station Square. Dress accordingly to the location you are in and show no mercy! Kill them on the spot!" he orders, accessing his contacts menu for Orbot.

"Orbot, let our New partner know that we'll be making our way to the Red desert in North Maruca. We'll be meeting a special someone there that I'm sure he'll want to meet." Ending his voice message with an evil grin.
