His metallic eyes turned on and looked around the room to see his surroundings, not your average everyday cell, considering that his arms and legs were held together with red containment lasers, using his might, the robotic copy broke free of his containment and walked out of the room. Fueled only on anger and revenge, Metal Sonic used his metallic spin dash to break through the closed doors and went down the hallway until he broke through the last door. Eggman quickly spun around from his desk where the chaos emeralds laid, to see Metal Sonic regaining his stance on his legs.

"What the? What are you doing activated!?" Eggman shouted, Metal Sonic didn't respond but instead, aimed his arm cannon at the doctor, scaring the daylights out of him "uh… Gotta go!" with those words, Eggman quickly dashed out of the room through one of the extra escape doors while Metal Sonic destroyed the room and quickly swiped the seven chaos emeralds from the desk, he then flew straight through the ceiling and out into space where he hovered above the death egg, using his blaster one last time, Metal Sonic charged it up to full power and aimed it at the at the top of the death egg.

"DIE!" Metal Sonic shouted as he fired, the blast of energy was so powerful, that when it hit the death egg, it actually exploded into millions of pieces, destroying everything and anything in it, the robotic hedgehog then used his opportunity to extract the energy from the chaos emeralds with extraction ability, the seven emeralds were quickly drained of their energy in a matter of seconds, Metal Sonic aimed his blaster at the world and shot the energy of the emeralds at it and…

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Shaggy screamed as he bolted upright in bed, he had just experienced the worst nightmare of all, he felt sweat trickling down his face and looked all around, yep, he was still in Grim Wood's but everyone in the room was missing… Until his heard the sound of laughter and cheers outside, Shaggy walked at the window and looked out it to see a sonic boom form in the distance with Sonic running from it.

If you're strong

You can fly

You can reach the other side

Of the rainbow

Using his speed, Sonic started to speed up and curl up into a ball and started to go faster.

It's all right

Take a chance

Cause there is no circumstance

That you can't handle

When you use your mind

Just as he was about to slow down, Sonic uncurled himself from his ball and did a backflip and ran on his feet again, this time, he used his speed boost to increase his natural lighting speed.

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom! (Trouble keeps you running faster)

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom! (Save the planet from disaster)

Suddenly, two Motobugs appeared out of nowhere and charged at Sonic, seeing this, Sonic gave a smirk and jumped up into the air and did a homing attack on the two Motobugs, destroying them and freeing the little animals inside them.

Through the dark

To the light

It's a supersonic fight

Got to keep it goin'

As he went faster, Sonic then did a flip in the air and made a victory pose, giving his signature thumbs up as well, he suddenly began to plummet back down to the ground.

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom (Trouble keeps you running faster)

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom (Save the planet from disaster)

Just as he was about to go face down on the ground, Tails quickly flew towards him and grabbed him by the arms and swung him around and released him where he landed on the ground safely by using his feet to steady the landing and his hand to land safely on the ground.

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom (Spinning through a world in motion)

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom!

"Heh, piece of cake" he said to himself after the little experience, Sonic brushed his hands off and his arms while chuckling to himself.

"Wow Sonic! That was amazing!" a familiar voice said, Shaggy looked to the ground to see Daphne, Phantasm and Tanis admiring the blue blur's accomplishment.

"Heh, heh, it was nothing" Sonic said as he brushed his arms off, looking around the ground, Shaggy saw the sonic heroes, his friends and the students getting along. Tails was helping Fred fix the mystery machine, Knuckles was flexing in front of Sibella and Elsa, making them giggle, Amy and Blaze were showing Godzina and Velma pictures, Rouge lifted Goonie up onto Omega's shoulder with the fish monster posing on it while Rouge chuckled, Cream was with Silver, Big, Charmy and Mary making flower crowns and Espio was meditating on a rock. He looked around for Shadow but the dark hedgehog was still gone.

"Like, hey Sonic!" Shaggy shouted, the blue blur diverted his attention from the three girls and looked up to see Shaggy "like, where's Shadow?"

"I don't know! He hasn't been here all day or came back last night!" Sonic replied "he must've went back to South Island!"

"What's south island?" Daphne asked.

"Mine and my friends home island" Sonic said "we usually live there if Eggman's not taking over the world".

"Speaking of this Eggman" Velma said as she walked towards Sonic "who is he?"

"He's an evil scientist that wants mothing more than to rule the world" Sonic said as he turned to her "but me and my friends handle him if he gets too crazy".

"Speaking of Eggman, he hasn't attacked in weeks" Knuckles said "maybe he's finally given up".

"Nah, Eggman would never give up" Amy said "but if it's true, then thank goodness!"

"Maybe we should worry about Eggman later, first we need to know where Shadow is" Rouge said.

"No need to worry" a familiar voice said, everyone suddenly looked to see the familiar dark hedgehog walking towards the group with his signature moody look and crossed arms, Sonic quickly ran up to him and walked besides him.

"Hey Shads, how's it going?" Sonic asked.

"Fine faker" Shadow said "a few students of mine are going to be here in a few seconds, to challenge your friends while I challenge you to our annual race".

"Wait, since when did you have students?" Sonic asked.

"Since last night" Shadow said "remember when I chaos controlled last night? Well I went to a small military school and-".

"Wait, military school?" Sibella asked, realizing what he was talking about "Shadow, you didn't, did you?"

"He did" a familiar voice said, the Grim Wood girls suddenly saw Tug, Grunt, Jamal, Miguel and Baxter walk onto the school grounds and both school students glared at the other.

"Calloway boys…" Sibella said under breathe "hello Roper".

"Salutations Sibella" Tug said.

"Ooh, conflict!" Rouge said "place your bets everyone!"

"Like, hold on!" Shaggy said as he walked outside, now fully dressed, and stood between the two "like, are you're schools still rivals?"

"Pretty much" Sibella said "things haven't changed".

"They would, if you changed your face!" Tug said.

"Why you!" Sibella growled as she turned around and crossed her arms and stuck her nose in the air.

"Well faker, it seems as though we have two candidates for our challenge" Shadow said as he looked at Sonic and smirked, the blue blur returned the smirk with a chuckle in advance.

"So that's how you want to play? Fine, let's do it!" Sonic said with a thumbs up.

"Like, I think you two should get ready for the race" Shaggy said to the two students of the rival schools, Sibella and Tug glanced at each other and shot dirty looks before walking away "like, I wish things would change".

"Why you say that?" Knuckles asked "I kinda like things around here as they are".

"You're an idiot" Rouge said.

"Hey!" Knuckles shouted.

"Like, ladies and gentlemen! Can I have your attention please!" Shaggy said as he stood before everyone that was sitting in a chair, everyone looked at him and paid closed attention "like, the race is about to begin!

"No need to wait, we're here" Sonic said as he, Shadow, Sibella and Tug walked to the starting line.

"We're all ready" Shadow said.

"Like, good!" Shaggy said "like, I want a good clean race and no cheating!"

"You can count on me coach!" Sibella said as she and Sonic kneeled down to the ground with Shadow and Tug doing the same, Shaggy raised a water gun in the air and counted down.

"Like, on your mark, set, go!" he said as he shot it, which unfortunately landed on Vector, Sonic and Sibella and Tug were the first three to get the start at running while Shadow jumped up into the air and curled up into a ball.

"Chaos Control!" he shouted as he disappeared in a blinding white light and reappeared a second later next to Sonic. As everyone watched, Scooby suddenly began to smell something and quickly ran away from his seat, Cream, Tanis and Baxter just happened to see him doing so.

"Scooby! Come back!" Tanis said as the three began to chase after him, Scooby ignored her and continued to run through the swamp, Cream quickly grabbed Tanis, Baxter and Cheese by the hand and flew up into the air with her large ears.

"Mr. Scooby, come back please!" Cream said until they suddenly stopped above him to see him cowering in fear with his paws covering his eyes, curious and confused, the three and Cheese landed next to him.

"What's wrong Scooby?" Baxter asked.

"Rat!" Scooby said as he pointed in front of himself.

"A rat?" Cream asked.

"No, that!" Tanis said as she pointed at Scooby was scared off, the three suddenly saw what had caused great fear to Scooby and screamed and quickly ran back to the others with Scooby behind them….

Sonic and Shadow were side to side as they pushed and kicked each other as they raced through the swamp and ducked or jumped over any branches, rocks and opened pits while Tug was catching up behind Sibella until she transformed into her bat form and started to fly faster than he was.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Tug said.

"Is it?" Sibella said with a smirk, Tug growled at her and started to run faster while Sonic delivered a spin dash to Shadow's right, nearly knocking him off his feet but Shadow chaos controlled in front of him and regained his speed.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Sonic said when his eyes suddenly widened "wow, déjà vu".

"Is it now faker?" Shadow asked as he turned his head behind him and smirked, Sonic shook his head with a glare when his eyes suddenly widened again.

"Shadow! Look out!" Sonic said, Shadow became confused but suddenly looked in front of himself to see what he was talking about, Shadow came to an abrupt halt by skidding his rocket skates on the ground until he stopped… When Sonic, Sibella and Tub crashed into him and fell on top of each other.

"What the heck was that for?" Tug asked as he rubbed his head and looked at Shadow, who now had a look of fear on his face "Sergeant Shadow?"

"Tug… Look… In front… Of… You…" Sibella said between eeps, Tug became confused but only looked in front of him and his blood ran cold with fear.

"They all stopped" Tails said as he looked through pair of binoculars "oh wait, they're running again and… Coming at us?"

"What do you mean?" Amy asked.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Sonic screamed as he, Shadow, Sibella and Tug ran past everyone.

"Sonic! What's wrong?" Tails asked.

"Mrs. Amy! The world's coming apart!" Cream said as she, Tanis, Baxter and Scooby ran past the group S well.

"The world's what?" Amy asked.

"Zoinks! Like, run!" Shaggy shouted as he ran away from the group, everyone suddenly screamed as well and quickly ran from whatever was happening, Amy quickly saw the event and screamed at the top of her lungs and followed the group.

"Wait for me!" Amy said as a large crack formed into the ground and started to split the world apart, lava gushed from the earth's core and acted like a tidal wave, rock and dirt broke apart from each other as it formed an open crater in the ground.

"Sonic! What's happening?" Tails asked as he flew above his best friend.

"I don't know! Everyone! Get in the school and get to cover!" Sonic said as he ran up to the door of the school and opened the door, everyone quickly ran inside and Sonic followed with slamming the door behind him.

"Everyone remain calm! I know what to do during an earthquake!" Knuckles said.

"Oh forget about that Knux! It's the end of everything!" Vector said as he began to board up the windows and door by grabbing wood, nails and hammer from behind his back.

"We don't wanna die!" Charmy, Cream, Tanis and Baxter cried as tears gushed out of the eyes and created an actual stream that led out of the room.

"Calm down! We aren't going to die!" Blaze said.

"Hey, does anyone else hear screaming?" Fred asked as the sound of screaming became more audible, everyone looked around to see where the screaming was coming from until something crashed through the roof and landed in the room, dust, debris and wood filled the room but the object or person was visible enough for everyone to see. The person seemed to be a middle aged man with a mustache, he was egg shaped with a strange wardrobe and his bead completely bald.

"Dr. Eggman?" Sonic asked.

In the old abandon castle, Mephiles watched a crystal ball to see all the destruction that was going on and laughed evilly.

"Excellent! My plan is coming together perfectly!" he said "I just need the emeralds and their power, and then I can extract my revenge!"
