Team Sonic:
Story: After escaping Eggman's fortress after the Final Battle at the end of Sonic Heroes, Knuckles the Echidna returns to the shrine of Angel Island, resuming his post as the guardian. As the day goes on, Knuckles is suddenly blinded by a flash. As he regains sight, he realizes the Master Emerald is missing, and spots a tiny machine flying away from the shrine. He hears somebody call his name from the woods, but as he looks, there is nobody in sight. He ignores it, and chases the Eggmobile.
Meanwhile, Tails is working on his new invention, the Tornado 3, when his Chaos Sensor picks up a signal. Tails runs outside to see Knuckles chasing after someone in the Eggmobile, which is holding the Master Emerald inside. Tails powers up his Tornado 3, and fly's out of the Lab, in pursuit of the Eggmobile. A laser beam shoots out of the back, and hits the Tornado 3, causing it to crash land on top of Knuckles.
Sonic races through Angel Island, soon coming upon the wreck of the Tornado 3. He gets Tails and Knuckles up to their feet, and asks about the situation. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles agree to run off, and chase the unknown person/thing to get back the Master Emerald!
