It was night and the airship was flying near a couple of mountains as Eggman approached from behind in a small machine. Inside Jet's room, Jet was holding his control box. As Storm ran to the door from outside, his feet thumped loudly on the floor; reaching the door and abruptly flung it open.
"Hey, boss!" Storm said.
"Wha--?!" Jet said and fell out of his seat.
Storm banged on the desk.
"We've got MAJOR trouble!!" he said.
Then Wave walked up to the side of the door.
"Storm! At least learn to knock before entering a room." she said and he looked back then shrugged.
Then he picked Jet's control box up off the table.
"What's this? Oh, is this...?" he asked and Jet stood up.
"Yeah. That's when I took over things for my father." Jet said.
"So is this the key to the fabled Babylon Garden?" Wave asked.
"I wonder... Could it be true? Could our ancestors have left behind hidden treasure that's just waiting to be discovered?" Storm asked and jet nodded.
"Hmm..." Wave said and reached for the control box, but Storm pulled it away.
"Uh-uh! If you get your greasy little hands on this, you'll probably use it in some crazy experiment of yours!" he said.
"Oh, come on; I only want to look at it."
"You always say you ONLY want this or that!" he said and Jet sat down.
As Storm talked, Jet looked more annoyed and impatient.
"Remember the teachings of our ancestors, "Be careful what you ask for, ultimately you'll only get three true wishes.""
"Oh, be quiet! Why'd you burst in here anyway?!" Jet said.
"Well, uh, an egg head? Egg, salad? No..." Storm said and Wave put her arm in front of him.
"Someone called Eggman wants to speak to you." she said and Storm pushed her aside.
"He told me that he has an interesting proposition for you." he said and she pushed him back.
"Stop interrupting. Knock it off!" she said.
Then they turned their back to each other.
"Hmph!" Storm said.
"A-hem!" Jet said.
Then Eggman walked in.
"Ahem... am I interrupting anything?" he asked.
"So then, I heard you wanted to see me?"
"Are you Jet, the legendary Rogue? Your reputation precedes you. I've heard so much about your infamous group."
"Enough! What do you want?"
"Well now, I heard a rumor, a rumor that you have the key to Babylon Garden. Now, could this be true?" Eggman said and looked at the control box in Storm's hand, light flashing across his glasses.
Storm noticed; hiding the box behind his back, he whistled innocently.]
"Huh? What's this key?" Jet asked.
"Ho ho ho ho! Really now, you don't have to be so distrusting... Were you aware of this? I imagine not, yet. The key to Babylon Garden is..." Eggman started and moved over to Jet, finishing his sentence by whispering.
"Heh. So let me get this straight, we just need to collect all these Chaos Emeralds, right?" Jet said and Eggman nodded. "Sounds easy."
"You really think so, eh?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying the Babylon Rogues aren't capable of stealing some puny emeralds?"
"No, of course not. But... have you seen this character before?" Eggman asked and pressed a few buttons on his coat's left arm's wrist, producing a hologram of Sonic which displays statistics about him. "He's called Sonic, and said to be the fastest creature on Earth. I've had many, many dreadful encounters with this pest."
"Hmph. He may be the fastest creature on the ground, but in the air, with me and my Extreme Gear, he's just a joke. Ah ha ha ha ha!"
Oh yeah
Later at night Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were on top of a building.
"I think the signal's coming from around here." Tails said holding a circular scanning device. "Hmm... that's really weird. It looks like something's jamming the radar signal."
Then they heard shattering glass nearby and Sonic turned to the direction of the noise.
"Hmm?" she said.
Here we are now
Higher up on another building, three figures cloaked within the night's shadows broke through a couple of windows; riding on Extreme Gears. Knuckles pointed to them.
"There! What's that?" he said.
Then an icon on Tails' handheld device focused around its digital representation of the three airborne figures.
"Sonic!! The Emerald's over there!" he said.
Everything is about to change
The three landed on the ground and, using their Extreme Gears, rushed off down the close-by street.
"All right! Now we're talkin'!" Sonic said and jumped off the building, spinning rapidly in the air during her descent.
We face tomorrow
Six police units were giving chase to the three figures. As Sonic landed on the ground, she braced herself to stop the Air boarders, but the one closest to her merely swerved past her. While she looked in surprise at the fleeing green rider, Knuckles dropped down behind her and punched one of the other two riders off his Gear and spiraling through the air. Tails looked at the insignia on the Extreme Gear, which depicted a lamp. The last of the three riders picked her grey companion out of the air and continued moving on without so much as pausing or breaking sequence.
"Shoot!" Knuckles said.
As we say goodbye to yesterday
Then Sonic picked up the board dropped by the grey rider, then flinging it into the air, ran towards and flipped herself onto it. Quickly making it into the tunnel where the action's taking place, she weaved in and out of the cars, until catching up with the green member of the trio. They exchanged a few blows; seeing that it wasn't working, Sonic swerved around the green rider, getting ahead of him.
A chapter ending but the stories only just begun'I'm getting rusty at this.' she thought.
"Oh, not bad." Jet said.
Clearing the tunnel, Sonic looked back, but noticed that he disappeared.
"What the--?!" she said and looked up to see the competitor throttle down from the sky, his speed generating an incredible amount of wind behind him.
The pseudo-shockwave from his opponent's landing sent Sonic spiraling through the air.
"Hmph. So, you're supposed to be the fastest thing alive?" Jet said and rode out of view, as Storm, still hanging on to Wave's board grabbed his board out of the air.
Then Tails and Knuckles caught up to Sonic as she lifted herself off the ground.
"Oh, new competition!" she said.
As we say goodbye to yesterday
Later they were at Splash Canyon talking.
A chapter ending but the stories only just begun
"Yeah, but what exactly is Eggman really after?" Knuckles said.
"Aw, it can't be anything too important." Sonic said.
"Hey, Sonic!" Amy said.
"Huh? Amy...?" Sonic said and her eyes drooped; Amy ran up to her, screeching to a halt. "Don't tell me you've signed up too?"
A page is turning for everyone
"Of course. It really looks exciting and fun. Why wouldn't I join? And besides... this way, I'll be able to keep my eyes on you." Amy said and winked.
"Ugh." Sonic said while Tails looked at her board. "Tails?"
"Hmm... That mark..." Tails said and had a flashback to the emblem on Storm's board.
"Mark?"
So I'm moving on, letting go
"Uh-huh. I think it was on the boards of those guys we ran into in Future City. ...Babylon..."
"Babylon?" Sonic, Knuckles and Amy said.
"Yes; the mark of the Babylon Rogues. A long time ago, there was a floating island known as Babylon Garden. Supposedly, robbers lived there. According to rumors... this "legendary" band, the Babylon Rogues, were great thieves." he said and saw a series of hieroglyphics illustrate. "Legend also says that the Babylon Rogues incurred the wrath of the Gods because of their crimes, and that the island was cast into the depths of the Earth. After that, supposedly the Babylonians were then scattered for all time, never to be found. But they say that the Babylon Rogue's treasure still remains on that island, waiting to be discovered." he said and it stopped. "There are also rumors that the Babylon Rogues were Extreme Gear specialists."
"Still, how can a plank like that just float?" Knuckles asked.
"That's easy to explain. According to the Kutta-Joukowski Lift Theorem, the control surface flow is balanced by the inverse kinetics of the--" he said while Knuckles' eyes started spinning.
"STOP!! I get it, okay?! It just floats and that's good enough for me!" Knuckles said and Sonic snickered.
Holding on to tomorrow
"Ah ha ha ha!" Wave said and walked up to everyone.
"Huh?"
"Sorry! But it's just too funny!" she said and looked over at Tails, holding Sonic's Extreme Gear.
'Let's see...' she thought.
"Huh? That Gear's unusual." she said.
"Customized it myself." Tails said.
I've always got
Wave picked up the Blue Star and took a look at it.
"Hmmmm." she said.
'This isn't half bad, for an amateur. Still... You can never be too careful.' she thought and turned the board around and place da small bomb on it.
"Hm! Ah ha ha ha ha! Well, I never imagined anyone would enter the race with such a piece of junk. Hahaha!" she said and handed the Blue Star back to Tails. "Thanks though. It was good for a laugh. See ya, shorty." she said and walked away.
"Oh that girl, who does she think she is?!" Amy said while Wave smirked as she walked away.
"Yeah! How can she just walk in and diss Tails?" Sonic said.
"I know! And tinkering's all he's really good at, too." Knuckles said while Tails, looking in Wave's direction, appeared infuriated.
The memories while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be
"The next race is about to begin. Please come to the gate, participants!" Omochao said on speakers and they all started running to the gate.
We might be apart but I hope you always know
Later atEgg Factory, Knuckles walked past a couple of robots. As he turned a corner, he and Storm bumped into each other, resulting in Knuckles lying on the floor. After a moment to take in what just happened, they point to each other.
"Ah!" they said together.
"It's you!" Knuckles said.
"I'll make sure to pay you back for this!" Storm said and Knuckles stood up.
"Hah! I let you get away last time, but definitely NOT today!"
"Why wait 'til later, you little punk? I'll pay you back tenfold, NOW!"
Knuckles started to wind up a punch, but hit the robot behind him instead. As it fell down against Knuckles, he propped it up.
"Em, sorry." Knuckles said.
"Wa-hahahaha! What're you doin', you clumsy fool? Was that supposed to be some kind of punch?" Storm said and started winding up a punch of his own.
"Nice try, buddy!" Knuckles said and dodged to the side, making Storm hit the robot by accident.
Storm walked closer to the robot.
"Sorry there! It wasn't my fault! If he hadn't jumped out of the way just now, I would've clobbered--" he said and the robot's arm came off in his hand, right before it blew up.
"--WHAT?!"
"The race is about to start! All participants, please get to your positions now." Omochao said.
"Gah! The track then; we'll settle this there!"
"Looking forward to it!" Storm said.
Later at Ice Factory the airship was flying near a couple of mountains. Inside Jet was in his room holding his control box. As Storm ran to the door from outside, his feet thumped loudly on the floor; reaching the door, he abruptly flung it open.
"S-Sorry..." Storm said.
"Wha--?!" Jet said and fell out of his seat.
"Boss? T-The red dude beat me, in the race..." Storm said banging on the desk.
"Argh..." Jet said and pulled himself up, using the desk as a support.
Then Wave walked up to the side of the door.
"Man, you really are worthless." she said.
Storm looked back at her, but then turned again to Jet.
"Boss... It wasn't my fault! H-he must've cheated. That's it. He must've used some special type of Gear!" he said.
"What? Are you implying that you lost because of my Gear?! No one can tune a Gear the way I can! Accept it, buddy. it's not the board, your skills just suck!" Wave said.
"W-Wh... W-Wha? S... S... S-Suck?"
"Yes. S-U-C-K. Suck."
"Su... S... S... S..."
"Stop it! Now, let's get down to business. I believe our colleague, Eggman... He's gotta be hiding something. And you know... I don't like secrets, so I've got a job for you, Storm!" Jet said.
"Sure!"
"I want you to sneak into Eggman's base, and find out what he's hiding there! Make sure you look carefully!"
Storm saluted.
"You got it, boss!" he said and turned to leave but was stopped.
"Hey, before you go... Bring something back, or don't return at all!"
"Yes, sir!!" Storm said and ran out of the room at blazing speed." Storm said, passed the door, turned back to him, saluted again and slammed the door shut, knocking a framed picture off the wall, and fell down on Jet.
"AHHH!!" he yelled and knocked the painting away, stomped the floor a few times then kicked his desk away.
Later White Cave Jet was in the forest lied on the ground, asleep. Waking up a little and then yawning, he leaned back, prepared to return to sleep. When Wave walked by, interrupting his nap.
"Aaaahm!" he said.
"Oh... oh boy, oh boy, oh boy... Ugh!" she said.
"Hrr?"
"Hmm, what's taking Storm so long?"
"Just sit down and relax. Chill, Wave."
"Really, Jet! How can you be so relaxed at a time like this? Don't you see? As the leader, you've got responsibilities. Some you understand, but you..."
Wave's voice changed into a high-pitched, squeaky, insanely fast tone as Jet tuned her out. After a while, he noticed something.
"Huh?" he said and Sonic launched off a ramp, doing three right-spin tricks, as Tails and Knuckles watched.
"Hmm, I think it's time for a little fun." he said and slowly snuck away, with Wave continuing her lecture not noticing this until she finally stopped.
"Huh?" she said and saw him jumping up some trees. "Hey, Jet! You come back here! Right now! Why do I even bother? Unless I take charge, nothing ever gets done here." she said then picked up her board and walked off.
AtGreen Cave, Sonic launched off a ramp, doing three right-spin tricks, as Tails and Knuckles watched.
"The semifinal race will begin in ten minutes! Please convene at the gate prior to that time." Omochao said.
"Hah!" Sonic said and flipped off her board, caught it, then landed on the ground.
"That's cool, Sonic! When did you learn those techniques?" Tails said.
"He-heh!"
'From being a Sonic Underground member.' she thought and saw the times she was on her board, Manic's board or plane when they were fighting Robotnik.
You'll be with me wherever I go
Knuckles saw and she looked at him but shook her head and he nodded.
"Not very impressive for someone of your reputation." Jet said standing on a tree branch.
"You..."
"You know, I've checked you out actually. Not bad; I admit you're pretty fast on your feet. But here, it's a whole different story when riding with Extreme Gear! You see, to be the fastest on a Gear, you have to become one with the wind! Without wings, well, you might as well kiss the ground and go home!" he said and leapt into the trees above him. "Ah-hahahahahaha!"
"Who does he think he is?!" Knuckles said.
"Hmm... Well I don't think he's all talk, you know; I better be on my toes during this competition." Sonic said.
"I never imagined anyone would enter the race with such a piece of junk." Tails heard Wave say again.
Wherever I go"Sorry, Sonic; I just need to fine tune some things, then your Extreme Gear will be at a hundred percent." he said.
"Hey Tails, you always do your best, so don't worry." Sonic said.
"Yeah, but she has a point; she's a really brilliant mecha mechanic. Sonic! Don't worry; I'll unlock the secret of the Extreme Gear for us!" he said and she nodded.
Later at Dark Desert Storm rode towards Jet and Wave, by a ruin next to the coliseum.
"Boss! Sorry to keep you waiting for me." he said and came to a grinding halt, knocked him offhis board and fell face-down onto the sand." Storm said.
"How'd it go?" Jet asked and Storm stood up, panting then extended a small microchip out to hm.
"Take a look at this, boss."
"Gimme!" Wave said, took it and it projected a fast-paced stream of data onto a holographic monitor. "Uh-huh. Yes... Hmm...? Is this?"
"What is it?" Jet asked.
"It's an entry in Eggman's diary. It's about the Babylon treasure from our ancient ancestors..." Storm said.
"Hmm... "Heh heh heh! I got those Bird Brains to believe that Babylon treasure was just a gem."" Jet said.
""I can't believe they fell for it. What fools!"" he read and Eggman switched over entirely.
""Can you believe the real treasure is the ancient, but advanced technology of the Babylonians? What irony! I've found a story about a boy who received an Angel Wing from the Babylonians as a gift. The story says that with it, the boy was able to rule the world. And this was just a gift!! I'm anxious to find this technology as soon as possible. Imagine the vast possibilities of the technology they must have kept for themselves. Hehehehehehe!"" he said.
"Ah man, I guess it's not a gem after all." Storm said.
"Hmm." Jet said then picked up his board and started walking. "Oh well, guess this was just a wasted effort. Too bad really. I haven't the slightest interest in world domination or advanced technology."
"Hey, wait a second okay Jet?" Wave said and he stopped. "While Eggman may not look smart, he is. He has an IQ of 300 after all. If he's interested in this technology, it must have value."
"Are you saying there's profit in this?"
"Think about it, it may be more valuable than finding silver, or gold."
"Hmmm."
Then he imagined himself standing amid piles and piles of gold coins and bags containing said coins.
"Heh heh Hah ha ha ha ha ha!" he said when Wave's alarm went off. "Why'd you do that? I was just having this great daydream." he said and Wave turned the alarm off.
"Come on Jet, it's time to go back to the race." she said.
"All right. Let's finish this, then we'll finally get the treasure of Babylon." he said and they rode off towards the coliseum.
So excited I can barely even catch my breath
Later at Sand Ruins.
"Now, our race has reached its final stage. The remaining competitors are pacing, anxious for the race to begin. Only a few minutes left. Who will win this big event?" Omochao said and confetti was thrown in the coliseum.
"Sonic! Congratulations! I'll be over here, cheering you on!" Amy said and Sonic nodded; Amy smiled.
We have each other to lean on for the road ahead
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Jet all started walking up the coliseum's large staircase.
"And now, it's time for the final event! And it's set here... in Sand Ruins! The rules are still the same; anything goes in this extreme race! Although it needs no further explanation, the first one to reach the goal will win this race!" Eggman said and five of them were set on an "altar" at the stair's top. "But remember, the prize will be won by the racer who's performed the best throughout this competition!"
This happy ending is the start of all our dreams
Sonic took out her Emerald and Jet did the same.
"Hah, you're lucky you got this far. It obviously wasn't due to your, "skills."" Jet said.
"Heh, I won't lose now." Sonic said and they set their Emeralds down.
"Hohoho! Get ready; it's time for the final race to begin!" Eggman said.
And I know your heart is with me
After winning the race Jet was getting the Chaos Emeralds.
Then each of them shot a small beam of light into the control box, igniting a glowing sphere inside it. Said sphere fired a beam of light like the Emeralds, but aiming it out at the desert. In the distance, mountains of dirt were thrown out as a loud rumbling starts. Then a floating ruin raised out of the sand and into the sky.
"This... this is... Babylon Garden..." Jet said.
So I'm moving on, letting go
Then a crane outreached and grabbed the control box out of his hand. Jet, dazed by the sight of Babylon Garden, not noticing the crane, but only flexed his hand slightly with the feel of the box missing; by the time Eggman spoke, Jet noticed the box was gone.
"Hohohohoho! Now I'll get the Treasure of Babylon!" Eggman said.
"Oh, no!" Amy said then ran up to him, and grabbed onto the machine he's using to fly.
Ignoring her, he took off for Babylon Garden.
Holding on to tomorrow
"Eggman!" Jet said.
"Tails! Knuckles! We gotta get Eggman!" Sonic said.
'As usual.' she thought.
I've always got
Meanwhile Omochao was at Sky Road broadcasting on a monitor.
"News Flash: A mysterious airborne object has just appeared above the site where theEX World Grand Prixis being held." Omochao said and the monitor showed Babylon Garden rising out of the desert. "Apparently Sonic and her friends have gone to investigate. We'll try and get more details right after this important announcement... "
Soon at Babylon Garden Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were in the Tornado, next to Jet's airship. Eggman cruised by on hisE-Riderdown below, on Babylon Garden. Sonic prepared to jump off the Tornado, but Tails stopped her.
"I found you!" she said.
"Wait, Sonic, usethis!" Tails said and tossed her the Blue Star II.
"What is it?"
"It's a new Gear I prepped up, just in case something like this happened."
"Thinking ahead Tails? Thanks!" she said and dove off the Tornado and Jet met her in the air. "Jet..."
They both landed on the Garden.
"You can't catch up with him! Get outta my way!" Jet said.
"Is that what you think? Take a look at this! I'll show you what true speed really is!" Sonic said.
'And I've been doing things like this since I was three!' she thought.
We might be apart but I hope you always know
Soon Tails, Knuckles, Wave and Storm all landed on Babylon Garden; Tails fell off his board, while Knuckles landed perfectly.
"Oh man, looks like we have company." Wave said.
"We gonna rumble?" Knuckles asked.
Then he and Storm walked up to each other, preparing to fight. A series of Eggman's robots approached everyone, setting their targets on them.
"Targeting... Targeting... Attack!" E-10000R said.
Then the horde of E-10000R and E-10000G robots ran towards Knuckles and the rest. Tails stood up.
"Knuckles, now's not the time to fight!" he said.
"Smart thinking! Let's get out of here! Forget the red mutt. Let's go, Storm!" Wave said.
"Did she say, "Red mutt"...?" Knuckles asked and Storm and Wave rode away, with him tailing them. "W-Why you...!"
'My god! I don't know what's worse! These names or the names Sonic and Manic call me!' he thought.
"Hey Knuckles, wait for me!" Tails said and dashed to his board.
Getting on it, he darted away, knocking the robots behind him with his turbulence.
We might be apart but I hope you always know
Later Wave smirked as she saw Jet in the distance, talking with Sonic, Knuckles and Tails.
"Hmph! I lost. So don't play games with me! I don't want your pity, nor do I need it!" Jet said and handed the control box out to Sonic.
You'll be with me wherever I go
"Wha-? Are you crazy?" Wave said and she and Storm walked up to everyone. "If they don't want it, then let's take it. Treasure is treasure!" she said and he looked down, but followed them. "Come on, let's get out of here!" she said and they got to the door where Eggman was.
"OK, let's go!" he said and raised his control box up to the door.
A song to sing out loud we'll never fade away
Then a bright light shone from within it, opening the door, revealing a large chamber inside with a door on the far end. The Babylon Rogues headed towards while back outside, Amy was chasing Sonic in circles around Tails and Knuckles, but they stopped as the Babylon Guardian let out a growl.
I know I'll miss you but we'll meet again someday
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Babylon Guardian said.
We'll never fade away
"What!? Hmm, finally something interesting." Sonic said.
It's time to show the world we've got something to say
Back in the chamber, Jet, Wave and Storm passed through the second door into an enormous and seemingly endless corridor. As they got a ways into the passage, the Babylon Guardian growls again.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" he said and the doors started to close.
They were in the chamber, heading for the corridor.
So I'm moving on, letting go
"Look Sonic! The door's closing!" Tails sad.
"Hurry up!" Sonic said.
Holding on to tomorrow
They made it in just as the doors shut completely. With everyone sealed in the room, the Babylon Guardian made his entrance.
I've always got
"Greedy fools... Those who seek treasure will find only..." he said.
"Whoa, what's this?" Sonic said.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" the Babylon Guardian said and dissolved into light, leaving behind a treasure-chest. Sonic and Jet open the chest.
"Oh, it's...!" they all said.
The memories while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be
Then Eggman came in, pointing two guns at the group.
"Hehehehehe! Too awestruck by the treasure to notice me, eh?" he said.
"Ro-Eggman!" Sonic said.
'Of course.' she and Knuckles thought.
We might be apart but I hope you always know
"Now hand over the treasure!" he said and they exchanged laughs with each other. "W-What's so funny? Hand over the treasure right now!"
"Okay, catch!" Jet said and tossed him the treasure; acarpet.
"Hehehehehe! The Treasure of Babylon is finally mine! Huh? What iS this thing? A piece of cloth..." he said and unfold the carpet, letting a letter fall to the ground. "Let's see... Ah, this looks interesting. "At long last we've created our ultimate invention. With this, our lives will be easier, without the need to work so hard to keep ourselves flying.Stolen, the 13th leader of the Babylon Rogues..." he read then picked up the carpet. "It's amazing! The carpet's rich texture is a sight to behold! And the way it feels is extraordinary..." he said and brushed it against his face.
You'll be with me wherever I go"Something such as this could only have been created in Babylon! Undoubtedly, this carpet will be in high demand from all around the world. But... But what's this? No way... I went to the trouble of holding the World Grand Prix for... For this..? I... I can't believe I just wasted my time for this piece of junk." he said and collapsed onto the floor from shock.
"Hmm? What's this?" Tails said and went to the carpet.
"Good eyes. Didn't think you'd spot it for a second, shorty. But you did." Wave said.
So I'm moving on, letting go
"Hey, what're you talking about?" Sonic asked.
"This, isn't just a piece of fabric."
"Right, take a look at the material. It's the same stuff we use for our Extreme Gear." Tails said.
"You don't say..." Jet said and pulled out his control box and the light inside it resonated, causing the carpet to float off the ground.
"Oh, it's..." Sonic started.
"Not sure, but maybe it's a prototype Gear..." Wave said.
"A magic carpet? I thought that those only existed in fiction."
"That's quite funny, actually. I never imagined that we Babylonians could be descendants of real genies." Jet said.
Holding on to tomorrow
After another race Sonic crossed the finish line first, with Jet just a bit behind. Then she stopped and turned around, right as he lost balance and got sent spiraling through the air.
"Even without wings, I can still fly! Right?" she said and Jet hit the ground in frustration.
I've always got
Meanwhile in Babylon Garden, Eggman was in front of a huge door covered with markings.
"Where are you, Eggman?!" Sonic said and got off her board.
As she walked closer to Eggman, he reached into a bush and pulled out Amy.
"Haha! Look before you move!" Eggman said.
"Damnit!" Sonic said when Jet came into view.
"Hohohoho! Now then... just be a good hedgehog and stay still." Eggman said and smirked.
Then he started to raise Jet's control box up to the door.
"Now!!" Sonic said and charged up the thrusters on her board, taking off into the air, leaving a whirlwind in her wake while Eggman shield his eyes. "Can you catch the wind?"
We might be apart but I hope you always know
As Eggman opened his eyes, he saw that she was gone.
"What?! Where are you?!" he said.
"I'm here!" Sonic said and crashed straight down from above, sending him and Amy into another tornado.
Then she caught the control box as it flew from Eggman's grip.
"Hey, catch!" she said and tossed it to Jet; who caught it.
"Wh-what?!" he said as she landed in front of him; Tails and Knuckles next to her. "Hmph! I lost. So don't play games with me. I don't want your pity, nor do I need it!" he said and handed the control box out to her.
"Wha-? Are you crazy? Wave said as she and Storm walked in. "If they don't want it, then let's take it. Treasure is treasure."
You'll be with me
Jet looked down, but followed them.
"Ah, I think it's time to leave now. Tails?" Sonic said.
"Yeah." Tails said and he, Sonic and Knuckles turned to leave.
"So-NIIIC?!" Amy said.
Yeah
Sonic looked more than a bit scared.
"Amy...?" Sonic said.
"How could you dive into Eggman knowing I was there!?" Amy said looking at the ground.
"Well, Amy... I thought... it'd be... okay... with you, and, uh..."
Amy looked up, glaring at her then started chasing her with her hammer.
"Sonic!! Come back HERE! AHHH!! Sonic! I won't forgive you this time!" Amy said and chased Sonic back to Tails and Knuckles, and kept running around in circles.
Knuckles snickered.
Wherever I go
Later Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Jet, Wave and Storm were all looked out at Babylon Garden from down below.
"So, you're leaving this place?" Sonic said.
"Yeah. The back of the carpet has more words of wisdom. It says, "This was invented to allow Babylonians to travel all over the world to gather treasure." Some things never change, huh? But enough of this friendly banter, Sonic. You better make sure you're ready when we meet face to face once again." Jet said.
"You bet!"
"Come on, Jet. It's time to split." Wave said and Storm hit her on the back.
"Hey, I wanted to say that..." he said and Jet sighed.
"We should split, too. Right?" Tails said.
"Yeah." Sonic said.
Wherever I
Then Jet and Sonic tossed their boards in the air; leaping onto them, they move directly opposite each other. Curving back around, they jumped through the sky, passing each other; their boards' engines' exhaust creating an "X". They looked back at each other one last time, smirking. Wave and Storm dashed on ahead with Jet following.
"You may be the fastest, for now... but I'll be back, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Jet said and darted in between Storm and Wave, jumping off an arch in the sand.
Wherever I go
