Episode 5

Previously on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
Dr. Eggman lands on the floating island known as Angel Island, and attempts to convice the echidna Guardian that he could help protect something called 'the Master Emerald'.
The following morning, TodStar receives a message from the ancient goddess of legend, Chaos: "You must unleash the true power within you if you want to overcome the power from Angel Island that threatens Mobius." After Tails receives footage of the Egg Carrier crashing into Angel Island, the Freedom Fighters made their way to the island that has fallen into the ocean.
But now that Sonic and TodStar have arrived at the island, a red echidna known as Knuckles has gotten in their way. "You will regret setting foot on this island!"
Can Sonic and TodStar defeat Knuckles AND get Eggman's ship off of Angel Island, or will Chaos's prediction turn out to be false? Find out next on Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius!

Chapter Five: Eggman's Chaotix (Part 2 of Battle on Angel Island)

In the bridge of the Egg Carrier, Dr. Eggman was still cackling away.
"Ahh ha ha! This shall be one interesting fight!" He said after grabbing some popcorn while watching live footage of Sonic and TodStar staring down the red echidna, Knuckles. "You! What's the status of the Egg Drill?"
"Uhh, at the present time boss, it's power level is only at 25%." Said a ball-shaped robot that had arms when it opened up.
"Twenty five percent?" Eggman yelled, getting furious. "Why is it taking so long, Orbot?"
"Perhaps Cubot is caught up in talking to himself again..." Speculated Orbot.
"Let's find out, shall we?" Said Eggman while he pressed a button which switched cameras, from Sonic & TodStar vs. Knuckles to a cube-shaped robot near a drill, chattering away.
"...what the doctor's plan is this time? Ooh, what's this drill thing? Will we beat Sonic this time? I highly doubt it! Ooh, thinking about hedgehogs makes me hungry..." Said the fast-talking robot without taking a breath (then again, why would a robot need to breathe?).
"*groan* Remind me to change his voice chip." Eggman told Orbot while groaning at the robot with the drill.
"Noted, boss." Orbot happily replied. "...do you want me to help Cubot with the Egg Drill?"
"No, I want you to get me some soda to help this popcorn go down." Said Eggman, sarcastically. "OF COURSE I WANT YOU TO HELP HIM!" As he leapt up when saying that, popcorn flew everywhere, scaring Orbot and made him run away. "I need that Egg Drill fully operational before Sonic and his friend defeat the gullible Guardian. That way, I can steal the Master Emerald while those three fools are still fighting each other." Eggman then sat back down and changed cameras again, going back to Sonic, TodStar and Knuckles. "Well, at least I'll have some entertainment while those two are working on the Egg Drill..."

At that moment, Sonic and TodStar were staring down the red echidna who called himself Knuckles.
"You two are gonna have to make your move sometime!" Said Knuckles.
"Right back at ya, Guardian." TodStar replied, which startled Knuckles.
"Wait... how'd you know I'm a Guardian?" Asked Knuckles.
"Uhh... I dunno..." TodStar replied.
"Yo TodStar, this isn't the time to be making jokes, dude." Sonic pointed out.
"I'm serious, Sonic. I have no idea how I knew that!" Said TodStar, looking worried.
"All right. Guess I'll have to force it outta you!" Yelled Knuckles as he charged at TodStar, but the green echidna blocked the red echidna's attack. Suddenly, TodStar felt the presence of something familiar...
"Sonic! I can sense a Chaos Emerald somewhere nearby!" He yelled to the blue hedgehog.
"A Chaos Emerald?" Asked Sonic.
"Yeah. How 'bout you go find it? I'll deal with the Guardian." TodStar said as his right hand was set alight once again.
"I'm on it!" Sonic replied as he raced off to find the Chaos Emerald that TodStar sensed.
"Neither you, nor that hedgehog is getting anywhere near the Master Emerald!" Yelled Knuckles as he tried to punch TodStar again, but his attack was again, blocked.
"Wait. Master Emerald?" TodStar asked as he jumped back and prepared to fight the Guardian.

As Sonic was racing through the jungle, his gauntlet started glowing slightly...
"Huh?" He wondered as he stopped to look at it. "Could it reacting to the Chaos Emerald?" All of a sudden, Sonic felt something hit his legs that made him fall to the ground.
"Hmph. I didn't expect the leader of the 'Freedom Fighters' to be so clumsy..." Said a voice that Sonic couldn't recognize...
"Grr. Who's out there?" He yelled.
"I'm right here." Said the voice.
"Wha-UGH!" Asked Sonic, but it seemed like he was thrown into a tree. Sonic then heard footsteps approaching him, and before he knew it, a chameleon was looking down at him. "*sigh* A chameleon. Why didn't I see this coming?" Sonic asked himself.
"Like my friend, Knuckles said: You shall regret setting foot on this island." Said the chameleon, but Sonic ran off before he could do anything more. He then raised his left wrist to his mouth. "Vector, the blue hedgehog is headed your way."
"*bzz* Copy that, Espio. I'll be ready for him. *bzz*"

Back with TodStar fighting Knuckles, neither echidna was holding back. They were even seen connecting their punches together!
"Chaos... Spear!" TodStar yelled, as he threw an arrow of Chaos Energy at the red echidna.
"Thunder Arrow!" Yelled Knuckles, before a number of arrows of Chaos Energy came raining down towards TodStar, and stopping his Chaos Spear in his tracks. But TodStar was ready for it, as he just released a Chaos Wave, which sent the Thunder Arrows back up to the clouds!
"Phew. Not bad. With a little more training, you could be unstoppable!" Knuckles pointed out to his opponent.
"Heh. Something I plan to do once I'm done with you, mate." TodStar replied. Both TodStar and Knuckles then charged at each other, but before their attacks connected, Knuckles felt something within him that made him fall to the ground.
"Aah! Grr. No. Not... now!" He cried.
"You right, mate?" TodStar asked, before he felt a slight pain within himself.
"(It's affecting him, too?)" Knuckles thought. "Listen, you need... to leave Angel Island... NOW!"
"Agh! Why should I?" TodStar asked. "I've... still got to get.. Eggman's ship off of the island."
"*gasp* It's too late... NOOOOOO...!" Said Knuckles before he started screaming quite loudly.

Meanwhile, Sonic was racing through the jungle, paying close attention to his gauntlet, which was glowing a lot brighter now. But because Sonic wasn't paying attention to the road, he didn't see the scaly tail, so he tripped over it, and flew face first into a tree, knocking him out cold!
"Well, that was easy." Said the crocodile that tripped Sonic. "Hey, Espio. The hedgehog's taken care of. I'm heading back to Hidden Palace."
"*bzz* Roger that, Vector. I'll meet you there.*bzz*" Said the chameleon via radio. But what the crocodile didn't know was that a Chaos Emerald had fallen out of the tree that Sonic flew into, and the Emerald fell next to Sonic's gauntlet, making it glow as bright as it could.

After the screaming, which everyone on the island heard (except Sonic), TodStar saw a green echidna floating above that looked like that Knuckles guy he fought earlier, but he seemed a little crazier than the Knuckles from before...
"G-get off my island, you freak!" He said in a voice that sounded a little panicy.
