Eggman's Plan is Ready?
Front of Chun-nan's Gaia Temple, night. Sonic the Werehog and Chip leave the Gaia Temple, and Sonic uses his extendable arms to return to the front of the Gaia Temple. Sonic the Werehog bumps into Chip, who flies still in the air, with his face, and flicks him away before seeing to his surprise the Dark Gaia Phoenix in normal form.
"The moment the temple lit up, the beast woke up. It appears he's come back to his senses." Zonshen explains.
"I see. I'll bet your job is to guard the Chaos Emerald temple. You must've gone berserk when the emeralds lost their power." Sonic says.
Dark Gaia Phoenix screeches.
"Well, I'm glad you've back!" Chip asks the Dark Gaia Phoenix as he Pulls out a chocolate plate. "Want some chocolate?"
Dark Gaia Phoenix takes the chocolate plate and flies off.
"So long!" Sonic and Chip say to the Dark Gaia Phoenix.
Dark Gaia Phoenix circles the area and lands on top of the Gaia Temple.
Eggmanland. Eggman oversees his operations and Orbot appears with a Hero Sandwich.
"Your dinner, Doctor." Orbot, Doctor Eggman's robot reminds him.
"Thank you." Doctor Eggman says as he rises from his chair and grabs the Hero Sandwich. "What's the progress on the Dark Gaia-powered Eggman Land construction system?"
"Current status is... 27 percent complete. Progress is significantly behind projected timetable. Presumed cause of delay... is Dark Gaia's dispersion across the globe." Orbot tells him.
"Oh, of all the lazy... Here I go to the trouble of waking that Dark Gaia thing up, and it causes me nothing but delays!" Doctor Eggman says.
Flashback of Dark Gaia's emergence from the Earth and dispersion across it is shown while Orbot talks.
"Dark Gaia had yet to reach maturity within the planet's core. Ergo, it was still incomplete at the time of its awakening. Ergo, it was unable to sustain its own weight upon its release. Ergo, it scattered around the world."
"I don't want to hear about its weight issues! So what if I gave it a bit of a sudden awakening!? This is unacceptable!" Doctor Eggman explains.
"Ergo, this is the repercussion of your hasty actions." Orbot says.
"What was that?! I'm having a bad enough day as it is... First that professor runs off with the Gaia Manuscripts, and now the planet's coming back together!" Doctor Eggman tells Orbot.
Flashback of Sonic the Werehog and the Chaos Emerald falling to Earth from the Chaos Energy Cannon and Eggman regretting his action is show after Orbot begins talking.
"That, Doctor, is the result of the power of the Chaos Emeralds, which you discarted along with Sonic. Ergo, another repercussion of your hasty actions."
"Q-quiet, you junk heap! That was, uh, all part of my plan! Part of the big picture! Where's the fun in having my plans succeed without any challenge? Ahem! A-anyway, what's the status of the remaining Temples of Gaia?" Doctor Eggman explains.
"Eggman forces have currently secured all locations. Defensive preparations are nearly complete." Orbot tells Doctor Eggman.
"That'll take care of Sonic for now, which leaves the problem of Dark Gaia. It'd be difficult to collect every piece scattered all across the world." Doctor Eggman says.
"Searching conventional wisdom banks for topical advice... "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." "Slow and steady wins the race." "Nobody likes a whiner." Orbot says.
"Hmm, isn't there a more efficient way? Some way to, oh, I don't know gather them all up at once? Wait, that's it! Of course! Eeh hee hee hee. With this... This! All of my plans will be realized! Eggman tells himself as he starts talking to himself.
Spagonia's Gaia Temple, day. Sonic and Adam walk towards the central altar while Chip flies up there. Chip lands on the altar and makes the smaller pedestal appear while his necklace glows. Sonic walks up to the pedestal and places the blue Chaos Emerald there. The Chaos Emerald rises into the air and Sonic, Adam and Chip watch in awe as the Chaos Emerald's power is restored. The entire Gaia Temple then shakes.
Eggmanland, dawn/dusk. Several Deep Nightmares are walking across a barren plain. The tower on top of Eggmanland is giving off a sparkling energy pulse and hordes of Dark Gaia's Minions comes into view, all of them heading towards the tower.
Cool Edge, night. Sonic the Werehog, Amanda the Hedgehog and Chip walk through a chasm and enter an open area where projectors are turned on, briefly blinded them before they see Dark Moray enchased in ice. Dark Moray's eye darts around before it sees Sonic the Werehog, Amanda and Chip, where it which breaks out of the ice and roars at them.
"Oh no!" Chip shouts.
"Oh, that's new." Amanda observes it.
Sonic the Werehog runs towards Dark Moray while Chip stays behind and flaunts his fists. Amanda still obseveing.
Holoska's Gaia Temple, night. Sonic the Werehog and Chip approaches the central altar. Chip then flies up to it and makes the smaller pedestal appear while his necklace glows. Chip and Sonic the Werehog nod at each other and the latter places the cyan Chaos Emerald in the pedestal from afar with his extendable arm. The Chaos Emerald rises into the air and its power is restored.
Eggmanland. Eggman is watching the monitors in the control room.
"All systems are green. Dark Gaia activation is confirmed on all seven continents. Electromagnetic homing signals are locked on. All units converging on Point Zero." Orbot tells Eggman.
"Yes, yes, perfect! Gathering Dark Gaia's pieces is such a pain. I'll have them come to me instead! A brilliant shift in perspective! An idea worthy of Dr. Eggman, super-genius! Oh ho ho ho!" Eggman says to himself.
"Your skill at self-aggrandizement is unparalleled." Orbot uses sarcasm.
"Ho ho ho ho ho! Activate the Dark Gaia fusion furnace. And while you're at it, get those energy conversion circuits warmed up!" Eggman tells him.
"Understood. Commencing "Project Dark Gaia." Requesting final clearance." Orbot tells him as a large red button emerges from nearby panel.
"Granted!" Eggman says. as he presses button and turns around. "Finally, my ambitions will be achieved! Gaah ha ha! Oh ho hoho!"
Outside Adabat's Gaia Temple, day. Sonic, Adam and Chip approach the Gaia Temple. As they get closer, Chip lands on the ground and looks worried.
"What's wrong, buddy?" Sonic asks Chip
"Huh? Oh, right. I'm just... scared." Chip says.
"Scared? It's just another old temple. It doesn't look like there's anyone around either." Adam tells him.
"That's... That's not what I mean. That's not... N-never mind. I'm fine. let's go!" Chip tells him as they start walking to the Gaia temple. Sonic looks at Chip with an odd and confused look before walking towards the Gaia Temple as well.
