Yo yo yoooooooo, check this out! This is TJ and Big Earl's biggest fan Big Red speaking with a jammin' new chapter of Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed. Now for the this cold recap, the mechanical punk known as Bass wanted to challenge our groovy heroes to a fight over the last Emerald shard. Things would get a bit tough in which his brotha Treble would fuse with him in order to become the bitchin' Treble Boost Bass to show how nasty he is. Then it was up to Knuckles to fend him off while the Super Fighting Robot would arrive to gather his weapons from the remains of the Astro Crush'd Robot Masters. Then it would be an intense tussle between the two stone cold machines in a fight that would result in them being ended by a ginormous slab of rubble from the ceiling. Unless we want to know what became of Mega Man after the Master Emerald came back tougher than ever, we might as well get this party started for the night! Right there, ride on!

Chaos, Ash, Shiva, Axel, Blaze, and Big would approach the emerald green gem that shines vibrantly now that it's complete before their very eyes. Earl would be astounded by how pretty the gem looks now that he looks at it in his two hands, even to the point of nearly dropping his shades off his face. Toejam himself wouldn't mind observing the Master Emerald either since his pair of eyestalks were alert like a rabbit looking for predators in the wild.

"So I'm guessing that this whole emerald wild goose chase is finally over then, huh," he said in a smooth manner.

Knuckles would be the first to approach the emerald that his big yellow friend held and and uses the power of it to draw the gem to his open mitten since he feels that it's now up to him to protect it.

"Yep, but that doesn't mean that you can take it home with you. But with this gem back in its original shape, I can freely use the power of it to fuel my strength when the going gets tough. Our experience with that black robot taught me that we're going to be up against opponents as dangerous as him once we start raiding Eggman's ship to take Sonic from his dirty hands," Knux said with a grin.

The gem would be eye-catching to the ex-Syndicate member Shiva since the radiance it had didn't compare to the many gems that his former boss had in his base and Axel would be equally as attracted to it as his enemy-turned-ally.

"So this is the Master Emerald in its complete form. So like the Chaos Emeralds, it's possible to draw the energy from this to get stronger?" Axel asked.

"That's right Axel, except I'm the one of the only few who can do so other than Mecha Sonic. It's my symbiotic relationship with this gem that allows me to track down the essence of the gem or simply having the ability to draw power from it. I'm sure some of you, like Big or Ryo, had seen it before in one of the older Sega All Stars racing tournaments," he replied.

He would look to his side and see Honey still in the process of smothering her boyfriend with her chest and the dumbfounded Electra staring at them. The former however still didn't get over the shock of him preferring the middle aged dominatrix's "girls" as pillows over her during the last fight with the two Robot Masters. This sight would leave everyone, even Knuckles of all people, to be still surprised over how crazy things had gotten between the two. Toejam however would still be disappointed that he didn't see Ryo get kicked in his butt at all by her, calling him a lucky funk in the end.

"Whenever these two are done settling their differences, then we can finally get out of here," Knuckles said with a fake smile.

BD Joe would look in his rear view mirrors to watch the smoky area for Mega Man, seeing if he's still around instead of reduced to dead metal.

"I think it's best for us to wait for Mega Man. He might be a bit useful in the future given that he did us a good favor by fighting that hotheaded robot," he said calmly.

Everyone else would look at this grim scene, wondering if there's any sight of line instead of their blue savior being trashed like his rival in the end. Big became worried about what became of him since it would have been nice to thank the little blue robot for what he did.

"I wonder what happened to Mr. Robot. It would be such a shame if he really did die after all of this," the purple cat says with sad eyes.

"It's alright big guy," Beat said before patting him on his back, "I'm sure that his death isn't in vain. He at least gave us the last shard of the emerald before he made that noble sacrifice."

Suddenly, sounds of powerful wind blasts could be heard from within the clouds of dust and parts of the cloudy mass would be blown away piece by piece. Knuckles then jumped like everyone else since they weren't sure if another equally dangerous robot arrived to avenge the death of Bass and Mega Man. Kiryu would get into his fighting stance since this guy would be in no mood to fight another of these mechanical monsters with Shiva standing atop his fighting leg.

"Guys, we shouldn't let our guards down easily. It can easily be someone new that's here to try taking the Master Emerald from us!" he said in an alarmed manner.

Several could recognize it as the same weapon Bass used during their first fight, the Air Shooter, as an explanation for the smoke being blown away like it's nothing. Hearing this noise would lead Honey into dropping Ryo on the ground out of fright and wonder if that same robot would try attacking them again.

"What was that? The black robot still wants to pick a fight with us?" she panicked.

Electra would get to her feet and prepare her electrical whip for another fight as the dazed Ryo lays on the ground during his concussion.

"Guys, is there something heading our way?" she asked.

"Yes, it might be him. But we shouldn't feel intimidated since Knuckles can easily use the emerald's power to finish the job," Blaze remarked.

Knuckles felt uneasy during all of this since he would be in no mood to fight again, even if he does have a way to end things quickly.

The heroes would be prepared for the worst as the smoke would be cleared away by an unknown individual, one that is unclear to be a friend or foe. Earl would be digging in his pockets for another Trap-O-Matic Jar in case he would have to be forced to throw more rubble at his foes while Toejam shivers in fear about their incoming enemy. Axel and Blaze would get into their proper stance in case the enemy coming her is ready to approach their allies for the second time. Honey would be afraid of having to face her opponent again while Kasumi pulls out her blade for another intense fight. Then the last bit of dust clouds would be blown away by a few air blasts to reveal a tireless Mega Man and his happy canine Rush clearing all of the smoke away. It would also be revealed that both Bass and Treble were halfway smashed by the massive rubble that placed pressure on their lower legs and upper body, making sure that they are in no situation to escape. The red echidna and former yazuka boss would sigh in relief since it turned out to be a false alarm all along.

"Well there you have it, that blue one is still alive and he made sure that his buddy and scary pet wouldn't move a muscle to save us less trouble," he said with a smile.

Just seeing then in this predicament would lead the New GG's, minus Big, to start laughing at the black robot's unfortunate situation.

"Looks like that punk is stuck like a black stain that simply can not washed away. You weren't kidding round when you said that Mega Man is the smart one in battle, huh BD Joe," Beat said while laughing.

Shiva and his former enemies finally realized now that they know that Bass won't be causing any harm as long as his legs remained trapped under that massive slab of stone.

"Hey guys, are you all alright up there? You can come down and leave from here since Vyse would like to see you all," the blue robot called.

Knuckles would be the first to jump down to have a few words with Mega Man after passing the Master Emerald to Mobo for save keepings.

"Guys, keep that emerald in there with the other Chaos Emerald that you have!" he shouts.

The blue thief would obediently load the gem into his massive sack while BD Joe starts the engines to drive his taxi back down the stairs backwards. Beat would grind down the rails while the rest of his ground endures a bumpy ride down the stairs due to BD Joe's usual ways of handling his driving. Big thankfully held the hood of the car in place during this so that his friends wouldn't roll down the stairs in a way that they can crash.

"Good work there, B.I.G. Now if only the others can come down here with us while we are speaking with the Blue Bomber," the crazy taxi driver said with a wide grin.

Axel and the others would begin walking down the stairs to follow their friends, leaving Honey to wonder where was Ryo.

"Oh no, where did Ryo go?" she said.

Electra turned around to see where he was and would drop their face once the two of them saw that the boy was still unconscious from when he was first dropped.

"You know what to do. I'd rather not get involved with him again since Shiva would still be ready to slaughter him for what he did earlier," she said in a nonchalant manner before walking down the steel steps.

The popstar with her still torn gear would walk her way to Ryo and try lifting him back to his feet.

"Come on Ryo, stop sleeping around since we have somewhere else to go. Don't you want to save Sonic now that the gem is reconstructed," she complained.

The boy would finally regain his senses with a burning sensation in his head and finally look at the face of his worried girlfriend. The only thing he had one his mind right now is the robot since he wondered if she managed to help them defeat him.

"Honey, is ….. that robot finally defeated? I really hope that Electra doesn't….. plan on killing me after what I did to her chest," he said in a weak tone.

Honey would laugh and finally lovingly hug him to show how much she missed begging able to properly talk to him in the middle of this chaos. He would be shocked at the fact that she would still be unable to find the right armor to wear after all this time, then further embraces her to show that he really appreciates this moment. He really liked how much love he's getting despite not being able to do much on helping the others with Bass and it was understandable since he's more used to fighting human foes.

"By the way, Shiva really want to beat you for what you did. But I'm sure he doesn't care right now since he's more accustomed to having some payback for what that robot did to him earlier," Honey said blankly.

Soon as he heard this, he grabbed her hand and darted for the stairs since he wanted to see the others.

I was out cold for that long? I wonder what they are doing right now since what happened to the robot. Playing with it's decapitated head? Marking graphite on his face?

The two finally made it downstairs and gasped once they saw something quite shocking before ether eyes. Beat would now be tagging the entire stricture and the defeated robots' faces with his spray paint to show that the New GG's were here in case anyone were to discover this factory. Shiva would be busy stomping Bass in his face to vent out his anger for that humiliating defeat and what he witnessed Ryo doing with his partner. The black robot would be pretty grumpy himself about the treatment he's receiving and the graffiti that violated his intimidating appearance.

"Stop stomping my face or else I'll crush your skull. This is why I would least care for the law of robotics since humans like you are scum in the eyes of a superior machine!" he shouts while baring his fangs.

Shiva could only respond by stomping his face even harder in a fit of rage to shut him up with his rival laughing at him from behind.

"Shiva, you're still as aggressive as ever. Even you wouldn't want a robot to insult your strength or pride," Blaze said before laughing beside her partner.

"Yo Earl! Shouldn't I cover these guys with more of the rubble we've entrapped?" the yellow Funkotronian asked.

Toejam would be more concerned with talking to Mega Man with Knuckles to thank him for what he did. The two were having a jolly old time chatting since the blue robot was a nice guy that liked to have fun when he wants to like a certain hedgehog. The echidna himself could see the similarities himself since they are both protectors of the innocent and have to deal with crazy scientists that like to cause mayhem with an army of killer machines. Kiryu himself would be more concerned with seeing how much gas the taxi has before they depart for their next location.

"It appears that you are almost out of gas just like that black vehicle that I borrowed. This is more than enough of a sign that we would have to find some other means of traveling if we are to find the exact location of Eggman's mothership," he said.

BD Joe would think about this and came to the conclusion that it was best to talk to their new robot friend about where else to go. Electra would be lashing at Treble's face to punish him for all the trouble he caused for them with his Treble Boost, watching the robot dog wince within each attack to make sure he's miserable.

"Not so scary, aren't you? This is why I'll always hate dogs and you are seriously no exception," she beamed.

Big on the other hand would still be sulking since after all of this, he is unable to find his beloved polliwog buddy and the Bonanza Bros. would be comforting him.

"Cheer up, big guy. We will find your little frog soon. Who knows, he might be joyfully playing around outside to await being able to see his purple pal again," Robo said.

"Uh buddy, you do know that we left him outside with Akira and Jacky for a reason. Because you did say something along the lines of not wanting a slimy amphibian messing around with your loo.."

His taller partner would slam him on his head again out of anger since he would rather not have Mobo reveal everything they said, especially that last part. Big would gasp after what he said and felt his hopes being revived after hearing about the location of his long lost buddy.

"Dag nabbit, do you really have to say all of that stuff while he's here? We were going to surprise him to begin with so that he can have that Christmas miracle of having his pal back. But no, you have to ruin it as always with that blabber mouth of yours, Mobo!" the red thief remarked.

Big then finally stood up to his feet and lifted the two shady bandits with his muscular arms to get a closer look at them.

"Did you guys find Froggy outside of this place for me?" he asked.

Mobo would be glared at by his red partner and did an embarrassing shrug to show how "sorry" he was for ruining the surprise.

"Yes, big guy. We was going to surprise you at first until this lummox had to ruin it with his equally big mouth!" Robo responded.

Then in a rush, Big dropped the dastardly duo and charged dead out of the exit in anticipation of meeting his long lost friend.

"I'm coming for you Froggy! Just wait and you'll see your fishing buddy again!" he yelled as he ran down the dark hall.

Everyone would watch the massive cat running with surprised looks and a loss of words due to how fast he ran for his size. Even Mega Man and Knuckles wouldn't be the ones to ignore this since the two hearing him scream about Froggy was enough to get their attention. The blue bomber in particular would be reminded of what he wanted to tell them since he came to the rescue.

"Now that Big mentioned it, we managed to find Froggy playing around with Toad Man. Then Toad Man would be the one to challenge your friends with the red car to a game of Leap Frog in order to keep him as a new best friend. So appropriately, he would lose and I was able to stop him before he gave them too much trouble with his acid rain. That's partially how I was able to meet the Bonanza Bros. and BD Joe before stopping by to face Bass," he said.

"So I'm guessing that you didn't decide to bring Froggy here because it would have been too dangerous with Bass causing trouble for us. Just the though of Akira and Jacky doing Leap Frog with a robot seems silly enough for me to laugh," Honey said before holding in her giggle.

Kiryu would then give off a strange look once he heard this since it's more than enough to show that these robots aren't always meant to be serious, especially one that wants to keep an organic frog as a friend. Blaze was glad to here that their other allies were able to do fine by themselves from the outside without any trouble and Electra would think about the whole Froggy situation in a puzzled manner. Then she would eventually giggle under her breath at the though of these skilled martial artists playing a children's game like Leap Frog for the sake of reclaiming ownership of a frog.

"That fat cat had been wondering where this frog was for a while. So are we finally done with everything we need to do now that he got his slimy green friend back?" Shiva said after scoffing.

"Yes Shiva, we are officially done. All we necessarily have to do is to wait until Vyse gets here so that he can easily take us to Eggman's airborne lair with the Delphinus. And that's right, the Blue Rogues will be the ones to help us get there pand Mega Man here was working as their agent for a few weeks during the Legion's mass invasion," Knuckles said with his arms crossed.

Beat heard them from below and leapt down from the graffiti marked mass of rubble to speak with the others, bounding on Bass's head in the process.

"Get off of my head before I crush you! If any of you think that I will remain under this mass of rubble for a while, then you idiots thought wrong," the black robot yelled.

Robo would shoot his face with his stun gun to shut him up out of annoyance.

"Aaaaaaaah shuuuut uuuuup! For a super powerful robot, you sure do whine a lot like your average spoiled brat," the tall red thief yelled.

Bass really wished that his arms weren't contained so that he can gladly retaliate against his weaker aggressor with ease.

"You guys manage to find Vyse after all these months? It's been so long since I've last seen him since our participation in the Transformed racing tournament. So I'm assuming that the big blue airship will be our main use of transportation to save Sonic with?" the rudie said while rolling around Knuckles and Mega Man.

"That's right Beat. The Delphinus is what we will be using to get to that eggface's lair and show Wily who's boss. Gum told me all about you and what your attire was like before I was able to meet you," the blue Robot Master replied.

Beat would begin to turn red out of embarrassment once he heard him mention a certain GG member's name to much of BD Joe's curiosity.

"Sounds like your girl went to the edges of the world looking around for you, Beat. How does it feel to be important enough for someone to be concerned about your disappearance, man? Either way, it's good to hear that Vyse will give us a lift with that heavily armed ship of his's," the taxi driver said with a sly look.

"Just because she was concerned about my well being doesn't mean that she likes me. Did we have to get into an age old subject like this again Joe?" the embarrassed rudie remarked.

Ryo would be the first to intervene since he also have a few question's about the situation at hand.

"Unlike some people who feel the need to bother someone about crushes, I'm more concerned about who are the people we will be flying with. I know who Vyse is, but what I want to know is if he has a brand new crew this time around," the boy asked.

Knuckles in particular wanted this question to be answered since he wouldn't mind knowing that some familiar faces are involved in this.

"Well, the thing is that we had to tell Ramirez and a few Legion members about the many crew members aboard the ship. But I can guarantee you that our captain didn't tell them about everyone who was involved, including me, since it's best for Wily to not know too much about his enemies. These crew members include Aika, Shou, Tillis, Fina, Alis Landale, Centurion, Arle Nadja, Vectorman, Shezo Wedgey, Max, the other Max with his three dinosaurs, Columns, Larcen Tyler, Harrier, Gunstar Red, Tembo, Sega-Chan, Phantom R, Sackboy, General Winter, Sakura Shinguji, Gum, Pudding, Ulala, Latisha, and Welkin Gunther. So quite the ensemble team that we have and our many missions were successful at gathering data from them," Mega Man explained.

"Ulala huh? I'm guessing that she's in it just to make more views in that Space Channel of hers," Beat said with his arms crossed.

"In case any of you forgotten, she was the one who made that radio report on what was going to happen to Sonic before that stinking weasel kidnapped him. And I wouldn't be surprised if that fat yellow punk's friends were involved as well since he said that they were after him too," Knuckles said.

Kiryu would approach the others like the Streets of Rage fighters to gossip about their new means of transportation and the people they are expected to work with until they reach the place where Sonic is held.

"We are expected to follow all the rules of this Vyse guy on his ship? I can imagine him being quite the military force in the skies with his crew. And about that reporter we heard days ago, she was the one who exposed the Legion to the entire world and spied on them since the beginning of the invasion?" he asked.

"That is correct Mr. Kazuma. Vyse is actually a pretty reasonable guy who likes to travel and wouldn't refrain from chewing you out for not following his orders. Ulala herself was lucky enough to escape with that report if it weren't for a Legion member named Satan letting her get away out of love. Good thing Arle was glad that he would no longer be trying to woo her anymore now that he has himself a brand new crush with a great vocabulary," Mega Man said before laughing at that accidental joke.

That last part would make Honey surprised since the idea of the enemy falling in love with an intruder that plots to go against the Legion seems a bit absurd.

"What the heck? You mean that a Legion member seriously fell in love with Ulala and let her off scot free to expose their plans? I can't really imagine him staying with them any longer if they were to find this out," she said in puzzlement.

"As far as I can remember, the Legion actually reported losing two valuable members a few days after that incident. This was something that I was able to pick up with my signal from their reports thanks to picking it up from a small purple creature that worked for Reala in the Gigan Rocks. We actually stopped there ourselves to recruit the Babylon Rogues to help us, but they declined their offer since they were simply not interested in joining," he said.

"The Babylon Rogues? You mean those three bird brains that we raced in that same area? Let guess, they didn't want to join as long as treasure weren't involved." said the surprised Knuckles.

"Well close enough, they simply didn't want to help out an old rival and simply want to bask in the glory of being the fastest thing alive. So to put it blank, they simply didn't like the idea of traveling in a completely different ship and absolutely hated the idea of having to help save their own long time rival," he said before rubbing the back of his head.

Rush picked up an incoming signal from someone and barked vigorously to get the attention of everyone else. This appeared to be pretty apparent since the red dog was being much more serious instead of playful unlike he usually was.

"What is he barking for? Did something happen outside this factory?" Axel wondered.

"I'm assuming that he's trying to tell us to get out of here since there's no time to be around these robotic freaks anymore," Toejam said.

The red alien himself was frightened about the fact that he would have confront Latisha soon since she still haven't forgotten about them hanging on Earth too long. Even Earl would be worried about how sweaty and scared his little buddy was over this fact.

"Guys, calm down. It's simply Vyse sending me another message about our next set of orders. So I imagine that it would be appropriate for you all to introduce yourself to him if you never seen him before that is," the blue robot declared.

Then Rush would fire a hologram out of his back that would reveal the face of a young man with red hair and an eyepatch to suit his pirate-like appearance. As Mega man described, Vyse was a young man that loved adventure and a great captain that fought forces that were dangerous as Eggman's in the past. He looked around the room to see some familiar faces in addition to the many new members that were staring at the blue projection from the dog's back. He saw an old friend of his' in red and gave him a wide grin to show that he knows who this tough echidna is.

"Well if it isn't my favorite hotheaded treasure hunter himself. I've been hearing about all the trouble you've been through collecting every shard of the Master Emerald to this day. Based on the area that you are in, I'm guessing that you had successfully collected every piece and reconstructed the gem to its original form. It was such a shame that I was too late to recruit you before I traveled far and wide to get this many people on my ship," Vyse announced in a professional manner.

Knuckles grinned with his arms crossed in response to the man's announcement with Ryo smiling since an old friend finally "arrived" to speak with them. Toejam would be hiding behind Earl's back in case his angry girlfriend would probably show up and berate him for staying on Earth too long. Kiryu watched the hologram in a calm manner since whatever questions he had were better asked after they get on his ship. BD Joe and Beat were excited to finally see Vyse after a long time from tearing the tracks in their best vehicles with Honey being surprised by the projection from Rush's back. Axel would be surprised by the appearance of the young man, mostly because of how young he is in addition to his status as a captain of the skies based on the coat. Bass would see this from his tight spot and still struggled harder since the robot wanted to have a rematch against his rival before he thinks about leaving so soon.

"Vyse, it's been while since we've last met. You're still as lively as ever I see, though I can't blame you since it must be so fun to search the skies like a true air pirate. And you are right about the fact that the Master Emerald had been completely restored in this area. But I couldn't have done it without the help of my new pal Mega Man," the echidna said.

Chaos waddled over to where the screen was to take a look at the young captain with his own yellow eyes. The watery creature would also lay his elongated arm on the shoulder of his red partner and reach out his other arm to let him know that he also played a huge role in the emerald collecting.

"Knuckles is right, I was the one who helped him receive that last shard. And if our watery buddy is saying anything, he was also a key player in the shard collecting while he was on his journey. Can't wait to finally board the ship after weeks worth of flying with Rush," the blue robot said.

The Blue Rogue captain would emit a jolly laugh to express his joy at his partner's accomplishment and the efforts of the entire Master Emerald hunt. The others watched the young man laugh with mostly smiles and anticipation to hear what plans they had for them. Shiva being the serious one of the bunch would rather act instead of listen and had no time to watch a hologram just to hear a long message.

The same old Vyse we know from the racing tournaments. Still as cheerful as usual, even when he's in the face of danger. At least he can understand out situation to get Sonic back from the Legion in the end.

"Well it's a good thing that we have ourselves an alternate battery when the going gets tough since Mega Man was able to let us know about the many defense mechanisms and other deadly traps that Wily and friends has in store for us. So it's not to say that it is a hard task, but that Master Emerald or even Knuckles himself will be used as a back up plan when they go too hard on us after we strike first. I'm sure you were able to tell these guys about the crew members aboard our ship and the rules of riding the Delphinus, right Mega Man?" Vyse said.

Mega Man then takes out an E-Tank to refuel on his energy before he would be able to continue talking with his boss.

"That's right, I've told them about the crew and simply how you run the show on your ship. You can be a nice guy at times, but there are still rules to be followed on the Delphinius to Eggman's hideout and if we run into any possible enemies. I'm sure that there's enough room on the ship for anyone new since there's possibilities of us having to share the Decking Room for sleeping. And as for food, we are not allowed to eat unless you simply call for a meal at all costs. Is that all we needed to tell them?" the Robot Master replied.

Vyse nods and continues to face the potential new crew members that are to board their ship.

"Everything you've said is just about correct. Buuuuuuuuut there is just one last thing that should be talked about now that I can see a certain Crazy Taxi behind you. All vehicles that are boarded on the ship are to be loaded in the Cargo Room for safe keepings since they are not to be driven on the ship at all costs. Besides, the decks are meant for walking and walking only. Anyways, I think that's all to be discussed and anyone with a question can feel free to ask me a thing," the Blue Rogue responded.

One question in particular is something that Shiva would like to ask since he is ready to rest for the day.

"Vyse, I would like you to know that a majority of these rules are things that I can easily abide by. But one in particular really concerns me, particularly in regards to the sleeping grounds. You can be free to sleep as you please instead of only during the night?" the long haired man asked.

"Well I've glad you've asked that type of question my tall, dark and handsome friend. The thing is that when it comes for the night, everyone is to sleep in their respective dorms until the bright and early morning of ten in the morning. You can feel free to take a nap whenever you please unless we are dealing with a huge problem. Several of our members like the Centurion and Tembo are the heaviest sleepers and they would only appear unless there's any form of extreme danger happening. So I tend to make adjustments based on the amount of strength someone has and Sackboy is the one who sleeps the less out of everyone," Vyse answered in an explanatory manner.

Shiva heard his answer and crossed his arms while lowering his head down in a satisfied manner, getting some shut eye soon as he gets aboard the ship would be the best way to do after an intense fight like today.

"Mr. Vyse? Do you have a training center of some sort where we can build our endurance and prepare for any physical fights?" Honey asked.

The look on Vyse's face would eventually become more sly given that he doesn't mind talking to the beautiful ladies that he come across on his journey, unless they are named Aika.

"Sure we have a training center. With all the new warriors aboard our ship, we would have to find some way of making them tougher when would prepare for that big war with the Legion in the end. Drachma did a great job at designing it some time during the Transformed tournament, though the old man is sadly missing out on fighting with us for old time's sake," he said before winking at her.

Honey didn't know how to react since the young captain was simply flirting with her and she hide her red face away in shame. This would also lead Ryo into chuckling himself since he can't deny that Vyse is the charmer himself.

"With the little time we have left until we escape from here, I can answer at least one last question before everyone is reported the board the ship. We've already landed and Akira's pals on the outside were able to hop on with that long lost froggy friend. Anyone who feels the need to ask this final question can feel free to do so since hitting the skies is our next priority," Vyse explained.

It this moment would be when Toejam started clinging to Earl's back in fear since he's getting ready to face his angry girlfriend soon.

Oh funk, Latisha will be ready to see my short ass in any minute. Soon as we get on the ship, I'll chose to hide behind his back until it's all over.

Beat would be the first to raise his hand since he had one big question to ask an old friend before they leave.

"Vyse, would it be too much trouble for me to speak with Gum soon as we get aboard the ship? Because there's something I would like to discuss with her given the loss of our fellow GG's that are possibly still in the darkness as we speak," he said.

Given how long it's been since he was able to see his pals in Tokyo-To, BD Joe could feel that he really missed them and wants to get to the bottom of finding out what Eggman and the Legion did with them since that incident. Knuckles knew that this will be something extremely personal that he would not get involved in since it's best for the two rudies to talk it out once they get there.

"Sure thing Beat, she's been wanting to speak with you about the same thing too. Especially since she had been wondering what happened with you since the time she escaped the city after the chaos ensued. But I'm sure many of us are dealing with the loss of our homes thanks to the likes of those subspace punks. But with every question being answered as needed, it's time for you to head on the ship since the crew would like to meet you all," Vyse said in a serious manner.

"Alrighty Vyse, I'll do the honors of leading the others back to the Delphinus within approximately fifteen minutes. Bass should be fine hanging out here and the chances of him getting out of her are low. We'll see you there, captain!" Mega Man replied.

Knuckles would uncross his arms prepare to say his last words before ether would leave.

"Like our robot pal said, I'll make sure everyone get to the ship with everything they need. I'm sure that some are probably waiting to take a nap or have a good meal while we cruise on your ship. But that being said, I can't wait until we show that Eggman who's boss once we do make it to our next destination!" the echidna bragged.

The Blue Rogue captain would nod with an approving grin since he likes the enthusiasm of this knuckle headed ally of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Axel crossed his arms with a serious smile to express his approval while Blaze simply waits for the approval of the young captain. BD Joe grinned and revs up the engine of his famed taxi to show that he's ready to join these guys on their journey to raid Eggman's hidden lair. The Bonanza Bros. did their trademark laugh with Beat walking back over to where Bass is a spraying his face for the last time. The black Robot Master would now be pissed even further and wish that there would be a way for him to break free and crush Beat's limbs.

"Then that's settled. You guys can report to the Delphinus outside the factory and board it so that the rest of the crew can introduce themselves. We will make sure that your ride to the place is as comfortable as possible with all the training, luxury, and food possible. It would be a honor to at least treat some old friends with a nice air cruise before the real mission of attacking Eggman's forces begin. Remember all the rules I've informed you about and enjoy your first day with me and the crew. I will be looking forward to seeing all of you in person," he said before giving a salute.

Then the holograph would be shut down and Rush shakes off his "dead state" to show Mega Man that he's back. The Blue Bomber would walk beside his red canine pal and stroke his head to thank him for showing his new friends an important message from their boss. Now BD Joe would turn his taxi around so that Beat, Toejam, and Earl can hop on and be driven to the ship that awaits them. The Bonanza Bros. would move over to make more room and they had no interest in keeping more than the Master Emerald in their sacks due to them being completely stuffed. Shiva would crack his knuckles in preparation of leaving the place with Electra keeping an eye on their entrapped enemies to make sure they didn't have any ideas of leaving. Honey would grabbed Ryo's hand and lovingly hold herself against him, making him glad that the two of them can finally relax after days of traveling for this very factory. Kasumi would then dust her arm guards and smile since she had been waiting to have a proper shower for a while. Lastly, Knuckles would prompt BD Joe into a good old fashioned race to the outside before flexing his punching arm.

"Hey Joe, last one out is a crying Chao that should stay in the kindergarden!" he shouts with a smug grin.

This challenge would then interest the crazy taxi driver into aggressively revving the engines of his vehicle and startling some of his fellow GG members. Beat would be excited about the idea of skating on foot so that he can play a part of this race and jumped beside the vehicle.

"Hey BD Joe, I hope you wouldn't mind me throwing my hat in the ring so that we can have ourselves a competitive race to the finish. It's been so long since I was able to grind aggressively and I would love to be the one to tear the competition with these skates," he says before getting into a runner's pose.

Then Mega Man would be flying beside them on his Rush Jet with a grin since the Blue Bomber wouldn't mind having some fun racing with his new allies.

"Is there enough room for one more racer?" he said to their surprise.

Then Knuckles and the gang would make sinister smiles to show how excited they are to be challenged by the Super Fighting Robot himself in their race.

Axel would sigh and say, "Looks like those guys are going to cause quite a scene with their aggressive means of getting to the Delphinus."

Blaze would laugh and place her hand on her partner's shoulder to assure that things wouldn't be too bad.

"Just let the guys have their fun. I wouldn't simply walk behind them and see who turns out to be the winner of that race. And besides, it would give them an excuse to relax in the barracks of the ship when they are tired," she said while looking at his face.

The blonde cop would look back at his brunette ally and smile and since her words are always right since the time they worked together. Ryo would laugh along with Honey to express their joy at the competitors before them that prepared to race out of this factory. Kiryu crossed his arms with his head down while Ash flexed the muscles on his leather dressed upper body.

Then the four racers would finally start their engines and race down the dark corridor to leave the factor with Knuckles and Mega Man being the ones in the lead. BD Joe still shifted his taxi into maximum overdrive to drive like he normally does in his town with Beat grinding on the wall beside him to gain more momentum. Knuckles would pick up the pace as he ran headfirst towards the immense path that would lead him out with his airborne rival hovering above him on his canine companion. Mega Man would use the scanners in his eyes to look for the exit while also paying attention to the echidna below him that aimed to make it out. BD Joe's taxi would begin gaining on him from behind with Toejam and Earl struggling to hold themselves into the vehicle beside the Bonanza Bros, all while screaming like someone who's enjoying an exciting amusement park ride.

"Get ready for the crazy ride of life time, fellas!" he said with the G-Forces in his face.

Knuckles would turn around and notice the vehicle catching up with him and get ready to jump in order to avoid being rammed. Then Beat would leap off of the wall he grind on and performed a series of tricks to accelerate his flight towards the incoming vehicle before him with a smile.

"Time to let you know that breaking in style is the most important part of the rhythm!" he shouts while nearing the passengers the back.

Knuckles would begin to glide in order to catch up with Mega Man and avoid being rammed by BD Joe's famed taxi while Beat finally stomped the back of it to scare his group. Toejam would cling himself to Earl's body after this happened and Robo would be tempted to draw the decapitated robot arm he found at the red haired intruder behind them.

"Get away from us you dirty freak!" he yelled.

Then Beat would bounce off the vehicle before being hit by the arm to fly right past his partner's own speeding vehicle and flew beside the dueling Mega Man and Knuckles. Then he would perform more aerial tricks to boost his momentum further to pass the two, surprising the Blue Bomber and making the hotheaded echidna angry.

"You think this is the last that you'll ever see of me, then think again once I initiate my Maximum Heat attack!" he yells.

Then Knuckles would begin gathering red energy within his body to heat himself up and prepare for another boost similar to the on he used to attack Bass earlier. This would lead Mega Man into thinking fast for speeding up Rush's fight at this time so that he can be in the lead. Then Beat would finally land before all of them at good distance of twenty feet and kept speeding off with his might to take the lead. Then Knuckles would finally blast off at high speed and his blue rival's ride would finally use that boost necessary to make his speed twice as fast as before. This would lead the two into gaining on Beat and eventually passing him from above to his surprise as they went for the light at the end of the tunnel. It would be heard to tell who was the winner, but the two still flew neck to neck for reaching the exit within the last sixty seconds. Then the two would eventually be engulfed in a light at the end of the tunnel to signal their freedom from the darkness and being targets of robot bullying. An hour had passed since the time the race was over and everyone would be standing on the main deck of the Delphinus itself while cruising the clouds of a teal embedded sky during this fair afternoon. Knuckles, Beat, Akira, Jacky, Big, BD Joe, Ash, Electra, Shiva, Axel, Blaze, the Bonanza Bros., Toejam, Earl, Ryo, Honey, and Kasumi stood before Mega Man and Vyse awaiting their introductions to the entire crew.

The Blue Rogues' captain would be as excited as the others given that these guys are the first batch of newcomers since the last few weeks and his blue partner would be signaling the otters to report to this deck to introduce themselves. Toejam in particular would still be frightened about the idea of confronting his angry girlfriend face to face and stood closer to Earl in case she would be the first to show up. Knuckles already gave the Master Emerald away to Vyse a while ago since he found the perfect place on the ship to save it until further use. Honey is truly looking forward to making new friends since she would love to get to now the new people that they would have to work with on the ship. Shiva on the other hand is the least friendliest of the bunch and really wanted to rest immediately instead of having to shake hands with more people that he would have to get acquainted to. The newly found Froggy would hop around on Big's head to express how much he missed being able to ride atop his purple buddy.

"Welcome aboard the Delphinus, fellow crew members! As your new captain for this entire ride, you are to swear that you would abide to the rules of this entire ship and I'm sure most of you remember what I've said. You've been called here for a reason, one in which many would understand as wanting to save your pal Sonic from the clutches of those Subspace punks. But for this day, I would like you all to meet your fellow crewmates that you will be cooperating for this entire ride. Starting with one of my most trusted allies of the group, the Blue Rogues!" Vyse announced before reaching his arm out extravagantly.

Then a young woman with white semi-revealing pirate attire would walk from the lower deck of the ship with a white creature floating beside her. Some notable characteristics of this fair maiden was the mark of the Silvite on her forehead and the golden jewelry on her wrists. This girl is indeed part of the exact same race as Ramirez, but she was much less hostile in comparison to the other and embraced the life of an air pirate (which can easily be said by her more pirate-like attire). Another young girl appeared with a much more brash appearance to her due to the massive boomerang in her hand and a hairstyle that could easily be interpreted as weird by Amy Rose. She lack that fairness to her appearance due to being a pirate since the day she worked with Vyse and is one of the more closer crewmates to this captain. Honey would still be surprised by how beautiful the first girl looked while Ryo would be surprised by the other's hairstyle. Then the two would finally stand beside their leader and face the new members before them to have a good look at them, making sure to greet these new people with smiles.

"Good afternoon, new members. My name is Fina and it's an honor to have you all aboard the Delphinus as the newest members of our growing crew. If any of you have any serious injuries, even if it's something minor like a fall, I'll gladly be the one to heal you with my Lunar Blessing technique," she said before titling her head to the side.

Then the next girl would slam her boomerang in the ground like a hardcore adventurer to get everyone else's attention.

"Listen up guys, the name is Aika and I'm the second oldest member of the ship! One thing I would like you to know is that I can be a nice girl if you get to know me, but you would definitely get a scolding if you think about breaking a single rule around this ship. So I want to tell you that I am honored to have you guys as a new part of our traveling family," she said with an open mouthed smile.

The characters of these two were as colorful as Vyse, giving everyone the opportunity to wave back at them or clap. Shiva on the other hand, simply scoffed since he wanted this whole introduction ordeal to be over with.

"The name is Knuckles and I am the guardian of the Master Emerald. I can guarantee you that we are lucky to be able travel with you guys for a while. As a fellow traveler myself, it is nice being able to work together in order to rescue my dear rival Sonic the Hedgehog," the echidna said with a smug grin.

Fina would laugh a little due to how strong the echidna seemed from his character and Aika would be the one to shake hands with him immediately.

"Thanks, but we didn't need you to introduce yourself since Vyse told me all about you and anyone else he raced with in the last tournament. After all, our primary goal is to round up a huge crew to strike the Legion's main source of operations and nab Sonic from under their noses. Not to mention that we all were able to see you when you raced back in our old home town during the tournament itself," she replied.

Vyse himself would find the situation funny since that ego of Knuckles is one thing he always found amusing since the time he went head to head at times during that tournament. Then another group of people had arrived just in time to introduce themselves to the new members aboard this ship. These guys were indeed the colorful cast due to their unnatural appearances and strange attire.

These individuals include a young female mage with a blue outfit, a young kid with a red horned cap accompanied by a trio of small dinosaurs, a dirty blonde warrior with a green bandanna and blue cloak, a semi-naked muscular man wearing what remains of his blue toga, a silver haired swordsman with blue eyes, A Chicagoan gangster wearing a brown suit, a blue suit wearing thief with a fancy hat, a green robot with spherical floating segments, a yellow haired gunner with a red jump suit, a Japanese swordswoman with a pink kimono, a blue female alien with braids and a white shirt, a curvaceous Greek woman with a white outfit and large wings, and two Burning Rangers (one male and the other female) with their high tech suits. Another group would consist of a red shirt wearing man armed with a massive gun, a mysterious woman with a blue blouse and a high tech blade, a massive guerrilla elephant, a brown stitched sack doll with beady eyes, a bug eyed white robot, a mean Russian general, a female green wearing rudie, a white wearing reporter with pink hair, another reporter with a blue outfit and green hair, and a young brown haired Gallian soldier.

These crew members of the ship would line themselves forward to face Knuckles's friends beside their captain and other superiors as the cool breeze rolls in. The heroes had mixed receptions about these guys due to their foreign appearance and inability to recognize a familiar face. Some in particular would can easily recognized by a select few due to their experience during the same racing tournament that Aika mentioned. Ulala in particular would not be surprised as to see why several individuals like Knuckles and Ryo would want to get involved in this mission. The young man could recognize her easily for the same reason that anyone can state, being that he was quite the competitive racer when the two were involved.

"Attention, crew members! These guys are now your new allies as well as a part of the family for now. I would like you all to properly introduce yourselves through any means like a handshake or a conversation. Remember, building a bond with these guys is the most important part of being a member of this crew. So don't be shy and find someone to say hello to," Vyse announced.

The first people to step forward were Ulala and Pudding since they at least knew a few of the people standing before them. The pink haired reporter would look around for someone interesting to introduce herself to and saw the lone popstar Honey stepping away from her boyfriend. She struts herself towards the girl with the coolest look on her face to give her a sign that this jazzy supporter is all about spunk.

"The name is Ulala and I am the reporter of Space Channel 5. Pleased to meet someone with a good sense of fashion and I'm assuming that you do music?" she said before reaching out her hand to the surprised Honey.

Then without fear, she would grab the reporter's hand and shake it like she would normally do to her loyal fans. Pudding would take a liking to Electra since she finds her outfit on par with her's in terms of beauty.

"Hello, young lady! It's me, Pudding of Channel 42 and I am seriously loving the look of that outfit. Where did you get it?" she said while shaking her hand.

Electra would be surprised by the fact that someone younger than her actually acknowledge how good her seductive attire is. Larcen would be the one to approach Shiva and the later would be attracted to the strange spiked, iron knuckles he had on his hands. Another thing that the ex-Syndicate member would find interesting about this man is that he had the most killing intent out of anyone on this ship unlike anyone else around.

"The name is Larcen Tyler, a former member of the Chicago Syndicate and a veteran Eternal Champion. You seem like a fellow criminal and I'll be looking forward to crushing the competition by your side," the mobster said before placing his hand on Shiva's shoulder.

"My name is Arle Nadja, it's nice to see that there is another powerful female on the ship than myself," the young mage said while excitedly shaking Blaze's hand.

Schezo would greet Knuckles with a noble bow, which would cause the latter to be surprised at his politeness. The gentle Big would shake hands with the young Max while Froggy hops around the backs of his dinosaurs Chomp (a yellow Triceratops), Terry (a red Tyrannosaurus), and Tank (a purple Ankylosaur) respectively. Ryo would shake the hand of the other Max, who is a skilled warrior that fought the likes of Mishaela in the past.

"You seem like a strong fighter based on your appearance alone. As one of the best fighters of Guardiana, it's an honor meet someone on my level," he said with a smile.

Harrier would use his free hand to shake Axel's hand while holding on to his massive high tech gun. The burly Ash would be shaking the hand of the Centurian, trying not to faint while doing due to his muscular appearance brimming with badassery and handsomeness.

"Oh my, you are quite the package of strength on this ship," he said with his face turning red.

"What can I say, all I would have to do is power up in order to achieve this powerful appearance. But that's not even going into the many forms that I can take on when using the sacred spirit balls," the heavy built Greek said.

Kasumi would shake the hand of Alis Landale with gratitude, especially when the two might have something in common given their status as the nimble bruisers of their respective teams. Phantom R would moon walk his way towards Toejam and greet him with a stylish handshake after doing his trademark disco point.

"Phantom R at your service!" he said with his usual over-the-top flair.

Vectorman would be the one to shake Earl's hand since he think of him as the type of person to clean up after (given his role as a garbage disposal Orbot).

BD Joe would be the one shaking the hand of Shou and Tillis respectively since they think of him as the average citizen that can rely on.

"Me and my partner here are a part of the Burning Rangers team. I'm sure that you may know us as the ones solving the problems of the Burning Depths during that one racing tournament in the past," the brown haired man said with a smile.

Sakura shook the three fingered hand of Chaos with no fear since she is around enough non-humans to know that this ancient creature means no harm unlike her true enemies.

"Greetings, I am Sakura Shinguji of the Hanagumi formation. I've been hearing that you've done a good job finding those shards for the Master Emerald with Knuckles," she said with a smile.

Both Mobo and Robo were giving handshakes to General Winter and Tembo respectively, while being intimidated by their imposing stature and alarming appearances. The former is understandable due to being a cold, calculating general for the Soviet Army and the latter is a badass elephant known for tearing through terrain like a hot knife through butter.

Beat would greet Latisha with handshake since she seems to be a cool girl unlike how bad he imagined her being based on Toejam's complaints of her.

"So you are the guy that Toejam traveled with? You are quite the cool dude and took good care of him during the time I came to earth. Now where is he so that I can have a nice chat with him?" the blue female alien asked.

Beat would point to the red alien on the right who was chatting with Phantom R about the times that he would have to send the Earthlings away from his home planet Funkotron in the past.

"And I said that we are too cool to handle a lady that sends her ugly poodles on our funky tails. I can guarantee you that it was the best thing to do and it was back when I was trying to impress my girl Latisha," he said before laughing.

Then the rhythm thief would be shocked by Latisha snatching her man away by his eyestalks and dragging him towards the walkway to the corridor so the two could talk personally.

"Dude, you've got to help me. I can't even describe the things that this girl would do to me behind closed doors!" he panicked.

Being as angry as she was, the Funkotronian woman would rather not say a word until the two of them are private. Beat in general would have a sweat dropping running down his head to show that he really feels sorry for what's going to happen with him. Sackboy would be seen greeting Big with a smile while bouncing on the mini trampoline to impress his new friends, which would also entertain Max and his trio of mini dinosaurs.

Welkin would shake hands with Akira and Jacky to thank them on their accomplishment of helping track down the emerald shards before the Legion were able to do so.

"You two seem to be quite the skilled experts on tracking down anything that's on your mind. We'll see how things go when the three of us would fight together," the young man said.

The resident coordinator of the ship, Sega-Chan, would be the one to greet Axel and Blaze with an electronically "Hello!".

Then the alluring, mysterious Columns would be the one to greet BD Joe due to her interest in the charming taxi driver due to the look of his "golden chariot".

"My my, that is quite the chariot you've got there. I take it that you would conquer any challenge with this gift that the Gods have bestowed upon you," the angelic woman said in a heavenly tone.

The man would have nothing to say in particular on the issue, but then focuses on the strange scene that would happen between the last two GG members. Beat and Gum in particular were discussing about the state of what happened with their fellow grinding allies and their failed efforts of finding any clue on their survival. Unlike how upbeat most of the introductions were between the other heroes on this ship, the conversation between the two seemed more bittersweet and a bit depressing. One thing that stood out in particular was Beat lowered his head down and struggling to hold in the tears over the loss of his allies from DJ Professor K to his buddy Corn. Even if his glass obscured the view of his eyes, the tears were permeable enough to roll from the varies sides of them as he grieved his friends.

"I'm…. really sorry….. that I failed to stay with the others before all of this was able to happen…." he sobbed while struggling to hold back his sorrow.

Gum would be the one to embrace him into a warm hug since she herself feels equally as worried for the others as him. Vyse would watch the two closely and knew that what was happening between the two was deep and it would be best to give them from privacy for a while.

"Everyone, report to the Meeting Room on the Delphinus. It would be best to get to know each other better from the inside for now since the storm might pick up soon," he announced.

Everyone would obediently walk inside of the ship while behind their three superiors to prepare for the wild weather that approached their ship from afar. Several of Beat's friends like Big and BD Joe would be worried about how their pal felt, but kept moving since it's an order that must be followed. Beat and Gum would be the last ones left behind due to the emotional weight over their want of finding their lost allies. The time of being on the same ship as Vyse would be proven as interesting just as it was saddening. But one thing for sure is this alliance would be the one thing that could potentially lead them to Sonic sooner than they thought.

Everyone would gaze at the beauty of the Master Emerald's complete form before the Bonanza Bros. would be entrusted in keeping it safe. Then Mega Man would be revealed to survive his battle with both Bass and Treble in a position that will make them unable to escape the factory. As everyone would gladly talk amongthemselves about their plans for the future, Vyse would appear through a transmission to speak withe everyone about what to expect on being on his famed ship, the Delphinus. Once everyone arrived, they would be introducing themselves to his expanded crew that's been partially revealed to Ramirez's group a while ago. Then things would get sad when Beat would be crying beside his closest ally Gum about how they were unable to find any signs of their fellow GG's being held hostage. Then everyone except those who would retreat into the ship to discuss their plans on the invasion before they are able to do a thing. More about the new alliance with the Blue Rogues will be talked about in next Friday's chapter, which will be the last for the summer. Until them, I will see you all the next time.
