Sky Patrol

Sally ordered the Freedom Fighters for a meeting.

"Right everyone, we're getting closer to Angel Island," she said. "Once there, we pick up Rotor's friends and leave."

"Aww, can't we stay for a bit?" Sonic suggested. "I heard the sights were good there."

"I'm sorry, Sonic, but we shouldn't even go near the island to begin with," Sally said.

"Why?" Tails asked.

"Because of the guardian," Nicole explained. "He's guard a giant Emerald, and because of that, he doesn't like anyone on his island."

"Right," Sally said. "I'm surprised you're friends have been on the island for so long, Rotor."

"I'm not," Rotor laughed. "The island a big place, and the guardian only stays with the Emerald."

"Since the island is big, are you sure we can find them?" Tails asked.

"And if it's unlikely the guardian will find us, why can't we do a little sight seeing?" Sonic asked.

"I've asked them to meet us on the coastline," Rotor said to Tails.

"Because we have a job to do!" Sally said to Sonic.

Angel Island, Sky Sanctuary Zone

Dark Legion Troops marched along the walls of Sky Sanctuary. Some were driving mini UFO like vehicles, flying around the place. One UFO landed on one of the higher levels of the Sanctuary. Out floated an old robotic echidna head in a glass bubble, with a young echidna lady following.

"What are we doing about the Emerald, grandfather?" the lady asked.

"Patience, Lien-Da," the other echidna said, floating into a building. "The Emerald will soon be our. We just need to wait." Once they were in the building, the robotic echidna floated over to an experimental weapon which on the table. He looked at it, then looked at Lien-Da, who signed. She walked over and picked it up for him, due him not having any hands.

"Marvelous piece of technology, isn't it?" the old echidna said. "Perfect for assassination!"

"Are you suggesting…" Lien Da asked confused.

"That you kill the guardian?" her grandfather said. "Yes." Just then, a Dark Legion Soldier ran in.

"Grandmaster Dimitri… a ship has been spotted landing along the coastline!" the Soldier said.

"What?" Dimitri yelled. "They must be here for the Emerald! Kill them! Kill all of them!"

"Can't we test out the experimental weapon of them?" Lien-Da suggested, holding it up. Dimitri thought for a second, then smiled.

Angel Island, Coastline

The Freedom Fighter stepped out, with Sally carrying Nicole as a handheld device. There were no one there to greet them.

"Where are your friends, Rotor?" Sonic asked.

"They should be here…" Rotor said, scratching his head.

"Why don't we look for them?" Tails suggested.

"Good idea. We'll split up in teams," Sally said. "Rotor, Tails and Nicole will go left while Sonic and I go right."

"Ok," everyone said. Sally hand Rotor Nicole's handheld device.

Later, Carnival Night Zone

Sonic and Sally wondered the empty streets of the abandoned carnival.

"I wondered what happened to Rotor's friends," Sally said. "I hope there ok…"

"Intruders to Angel Island never leave ok…" a voice said. Sonic and Sally found themselves surrounded by the Dark Legion. Dimitri floated out of the crowd. "In fact, they don't leave…"

"Who… and what are you?" Sonic asked.

"I am the Grandmaster of the Dark Legion, named Dimitri." Dimitri explained. "Do not underestimate me, for that I may of lost my body, but I think you'll find that their is much more to me than meets the eye!"

"You're a transformer?" Sonic teased.

"What? No, no…" Dimitri sighed. "Soldier, take them away!"

"I don't think so!" Sally said, turning on her blade rings and started attacking the soldiers. Sonic joined in, homing attacking and spin-dashing them.

Mushroom Hill Zone

Tails, Nicole (who had her physical form on) and Rotor were exploring the Mushroom Hill Zone, in hopes of finding Rotor's friends. Meanwhile, Lien-Da and a few Dark Legion Scientists were preparing the experimental weapon.
"Due to this weapon not being tested yet, I'm going to stand over there while you lot write notes down here," Lien-Da explained, pointing over to where she was going to stand, then running towards it. The Scientist aimed it at Rotor and fired, only for the weapon to blow up on them. Lien-Da ran over, only to see that there was nothing left of the weapon, nor scientists. The Freedom Fighter heard the explosion and turned to see where it was coming from. They saw Lien-Da.

"You alright over there?" Rotor yelled at her. Lien-Da looked over to them.

"Crap, I've been spotted!" She thought. She got a blaster from her belt and started shooting at the Freedom Fighters, making them run away.

"What are you doing?" Tails yelled, running away. Nicole caught sight of a small entrance into a cave.

"This way!" Nicole yelled to her friends, running to the entrance. The others followed. Once in, there was a giant ring spinning around, which teleported them away.

Carnival Night Zone

All the soldier had been defeated.

"Nice work, Sal," Sonic said. "We make a great team!"

"Yeah, we do," Sally said, blushing a bit.

"Impossible!" Dimitri yelled. "How? How did you defeat my soldiers?"

"They don't really put up a fight," Sonic laughed. "Now where are our friend's friends?" He grabbed held of the head in the glass bubble.

"I… I don't know who you're talking about…" Dimitri said. "All I know was take two Mobians came to take us down but were outnumbered. We've taken them to our current base…" Sally got out her ring blades and pointed them at Dimitri.

"Mind taking us there?" Sally asked.

?

Tails woke up, only to find himself in a cave with crystals glowing on the walls. There was also a shrine with a giant green Emerald on the top. Rotor and Nicole soon woke up as well.

"Where are we?" Rotor asked.

"My database doesn't have any reading on where we are." Nicole said.

"Where are you?" a voice said. It was Knuckles, who appeared in front of them. "You're trespassing on sacred ground and my home, that's where!"
