Mobius-777 is a universe within the Sonic Multiverse, this is the home of the Prime Universe of Sonic the Hedgehog. This is where all the other alternative universes branch off.

## History of Mobius-777 (Mobius Prime)

### Origin of The Time of Awakening

After the Highest created Earth, they spitted Gaea the Hedgehog in half, creating Light-Gaea, and Dark-Gaea. The two halves fought for control over the planet's creation, acting as the Ying and Yang of Mobius. Light-Gaea won the power struggle and forced his darker side into the new born Earth. The Earth's outer core would seal them in for the next few million years. Light and Dark-Gaea would go back and fourth across the Earth's lifespan, and then the planet will have millions of years of prosperity.

### The Lost Hex Origin

The Lost Hex was formed alongside the Earth. It was a mysterious planet that held strange walks of life. Everlong made sure to make all kinds of Planets with different forms of life. The Lost Hex floats above Earth, and rotates around it.

### The Creation of the Master Emerald

Brave-Light came to Mobius Prime once again to do his final check on all universes. He was impressed by the peace, and law of Earth. So, he rewarded Earth by creating the Master Emerald. Brave-Light left the emerald on somewhere on Starfall Islands for any lifeform to find it. A colony of Chao started flock the area and gather around the Master emerald. The Chao would settle around the emerald, doing dances and just enjoying themselves. At this point, The Green Angel requests to leave, which breaks Brave-Light's heart, but let's her go after that.

### The End's and Chaos Emerald's Origins

With All-Extinction's strange matter disappearing or vanishing, the rest of the Strange Matter came together and manifested into a dark purple planetoid, called 'The End'. The End would roam the galaxies for thousands of years destroying entire solar systems, which led to many civilizations to their doom. The Ancients manifested their own essence into a energy form, which are then stored into seven stones. They would next mine the seven stones and form them into emeralds, which would later create the seven Chaos Emeralds. The emeralds were almost life like because of their essence being bonded within the emeralds. Eventually, The End came across the Ancients. The Ancients watched as their planet was destroyed by The End while fleeing their world. During, their travels, the ancients felt the power of the Master Emerald, which attracted the Chaos Emeralds. Their spaceships forced them down to Earth. With this, they prepared for the return of The End. The Ancients created several structures across Earth in preparation for The End. One of these creations was a dimension called 'Cyber Space', it was a mirage of the existing worlds they were on. Titans were created to fight The End.

Time quickly came, and so did 'The End', the Ancients deploy their titans, to fight with everything they had. But sadly, most of their efforts were for nothing. The End mocks them, as their fate seems more inevitable, but the Ancients still have one more trick up their sleeve. The Ancients bound The End with their Titans and sealed it within the Cyber Space to imprison it. The Ancients were turned into Cocos due to The End's damage.

### The Maginary World (Mobius-777)

Having created the Precioustone soon after Sitch-Lite left, Illumina assumed the job of protecting the crystal from her residence in the Temple of Light to safeguard everyone's dreams. However, Illumina was eventually overcome with self-doubt and lost sight of her own dream of making Maginary world a beautiful utopia, causing an internal conflict so strong that she split into two beings, each representing opposite ends of the spectrum of emotion: Lumina Flowlight and Void.

Lumina, the representation of the positive aspects of dreams, and Void, the representation of the negative aspects of dreams. Because of Void's separation though, he suffered from loneliness and wanted to be whole again. Lumina, however, could not recall her time as her original form, and instead believed she was a subordinate of Illumina and that the two of them protected the Precioustone together. Void explained that since he was a piece of the Precioustone, and thus a part of a feeling needed for dreams to exist, Void sought out this crystal, believing it could make him whole. When he got to the Temple of Light and touched the Perfect Precioustone, his powers caused it to shatter and its pieces scattered to the various worlds in Maginary world. Lumina believed this caused Illumina to lose her powers and become imprisoned in a faraway world.

With Maginary world now in danger of being destroyed by Void's darkness without the Precioustone's power, Lumina send a message out to everybody in other worlds dreaming of Maginary world in search of a hero with courage and heart who could help restore Maginary world and save it from certain doom.

### Solaris Origin

Solaris initially existed as an apparently sentient flame which had been entrusted to the royal family ruling over Soleanna and was worshiped by the citizens of Soleanna. Legends foretold, however, that Solaris' wrath, the Flames of Disaster, were destined to one day awaken.

### Origin of Mobius

it took billions upon billions of years for Earth to finally form Life, Thanks to the temperature of Earth lowering enough for gas to form into clouds. The Clouds would make it rain on the rocky surface and create oceans. Skipping to the Modern day 2156 AD, an Unknown Plague is killing off the Human race. Only a select few humans survive the plague. Ten Million years later, Mobius is formed from the Old Earth. The humans that survived the plague ten million years ago, started to regain their lost knowledge. They created villages, which later become Cities again.

Strange animals started to mutate into anamorphic animals over the decades. These animals explored the world and settled down wherever they could. The Animals encountered the humans for the first time and it wasn't pretty. They fought over territory and resources. The animals won an overwhelming victory against the humans because of their abilities, they sent the humans back into their own lands. The animals expanded across the continents of Mobius. They encountered humans from time to time. After seeing the humans so many times, they got smarted and started to speak their languages.

Despite Humans not getting along with each other, they knew that they had to form a federation to survive. The United Federation was born. Every single human being was part of the United Federation, but some still questioned something, how would they get food?. The Officials said they would have to be vegetarians in order to survive. The plan took 12 years to actually take into fruition. It was hard, but the people were happy. The United Federation has created good relations with the Animal tribes. The animals now live alongside the humans without fighting.

### What is The Green Angel's Purpose in Life?

The Green Angel still feels confused about what she could do with her life. She was raised to do nothing but serve her overlords, The Highest. She looks down upon the tribes of Animals doing trade, farming, and just living their lives. The Green Angel spots a group of Foxes running across a valley. She decides to go and talk to them. She shape shifts into a fox. When she lands on the sandy-grass lands, the foxes step back as their tails begin to fuzz up and their eyes widen with confusion and aw. The Green Angel stared at the foxes with a heartwarming smile, she questions what the foxes are doing. One of the Foxes walks to her and started to flirt with her. The Green Angel wasn't a custom to this yet. She actually felt quite unconformable. So she puts two fingers on Fox's forehead and knocks him out.

The Foxes are left shocked and they run away. The Green Angel can't help but feel discuss at what just happened. She flies off after the foxes at top speed and lands in front of them. She apologizes for hurting their friend. But, then goes on to explain that what he did was no way to treat someone like her. She breathes in and explains why she came here. The Foxes also explain that they were just doing some trade from the nearby Weasel Village. The Green Angel asks if she could tag alone, the Foxes agree. The next few hours are just walking through the Village. When the crew arrives they start trading with the Weasel Villagers. But something is very off. Some of the Foxes are taking Weasels away from their families, and sending them away. The Green Angel has no idea of this and continues for a few months, and then she catches on.

The Green Angel feels bad that she was taking part in this. So she feels like she should do something about this. She goes murdering the Foxes that were deporting the Weasels. One fox that was the target of The Green Angel was in a house with the child Weasel called 'Fanger'. Fanger was scared for his life as a Fox was creeping up on him. Fanger was cornered and had nowhere else to go. His Mother and Father are dead, and her sister was taken away by the foxes. Fanger starts crying for her mother. But her mother isn't coming for him. The Fox laughed in a raspy tone.

A huge bang could be heard in the distance, It's the Green Angel. The Green Angel swoops in from the front door and grabs the fox at top speed. The Green Angel files directly into the sky and spins in mid-air while she has the fox in her hands. The Fox is then hurled into the sky, and just disappears from her sight. She dashes downwards to the Weasel, and lands on the ground next to him. She picks him up and smiles at him. Fanger questions if the Fox could found his family. The Green Angel agrees to this but wants to know what his family looks like. Fang gives her a picture and She rushes off into the sky with a determined look in her eyes.

The Green Angel travels across Mobius Prime trying to find Fanger's Family. She finally spots a Fox trying to bury a family of Weasels. She begins to grow very mad and flies downwards. The Fox turns and reacts too late, his head is completely severed by The Green Angel. The Body of the Fox falls to the ground. She rushes to the Weasel Family. But, it's too late, she's dead. She looks at the dead family, and tears up a little. The Green Angel is completely in rage, she flies into the sky and opens her arms out wide. She begins to glow golden as her aura fully develops her. She lets out a powerful roar as golden rings begin to materialize out of her body in large amounts. The golden Rings fly across Mobius and land in serval places. The Green Angel drops from the sky and is unconscious for a few days. She wakes up completely wasted and travels around Mobius Prime. She spends some time traveling the skies of Mobius until she comes across a massive lake. She stares at the sparkling water, and decides to take a nap in the river.

### The Zoah

the Zoah Colony was a part of the Zoah's original home world. One day, however, the entire race of Zoah and a large fragment of the Zoah's homeworld were pulled into the Twilight Cage by a group of their own species, which are one who called upon Argus. presumably because the Zoahs were considered to be too powerful of a species. The fragment of the Zoahs' home world that was pulled into the void of the Twilight Cage, along with the Zoah would then become the Zoah Colony.

After having been pulled into the Twilight Cage, the Zoah Colony became the new home for the captured Zoah, who settled down there and reestablished their civilization. After another alien race known as the N'rrgals arrived in the Twilight Cage, however, the Zoahs from the Zoah Colony began a series of attacks on the N'rrgals' home, the N'rrgal Colony, in an attempt to conquer them and their plantoid. However, the N'rrgals proved to be formidable opponents to the Zoah Colony due to their ability to absorb their energy weapons. As their conflict escalated, the Zoah and N'rrgal became sworn enemies to one another, and the Zoah Colony and the N'rrgal Colony began a war with each other that continued for thousands of years. As the same time, the Zoah Colony also fought the other residents of the Twilight Cage in other attempts for conquest.

### The Arrival of N'rrgal

Thousands of years ago, the N'rrgal Colony was a part of the N'rrgal's original home world. One day, however the entire race of N'rrgal and a fragment of the N'rrgal's homeworld were pulled into the Twilight Cage by their own race, which called upon Argus, possibly because the N'rrgals were too powerful of a species. The fragment of the N'rrgal's home world that was pulled into the Twilight Cage would then become the N'rrgal Colony.

After being pulled into the Twilight Cage, the N'rrgal settled down on the N'rrgal Colony, making it their new home. Not long after arriving there, however, the N'rrgal Colony came under attack from the Zoah from the Zoah Colony, in an attempt to conquer the N'rrgal Colony and the N'rrgal. The N'rrgal, however, were able to fight back by absorbing the Zoah's energy weapons, but their conflict led to the races becoming sworn enemies. Eventually, the N'rrgal Colony and the Zoah Colony ended in a war with each other, which would rage on for millennia, while fighting the other residents of the Twilight Cage in an attempt for conquest.

### The Paradox Prism Origin

The Paradox Prism is formed due to Everlong's geologic activity. During the making of Mobius Prime, some of Everlong's aura leaked into the empty prism of the rock. This gives the Paradox Prism it's power to warp reality. Several cycles of the Time of Awakening has caused the Paradox Prism to move from it's current place. Sometimes it would go deeper or above the Earth's crust throughout the millions of years. But, it all stopped moving when the 11th cycle struck. The Paradox Prism was moved from the crust to the very bottom of Mobius Prime's Mantle to never be seen again.

### The 12th Cycle of the Time of Awakening

At this point, the legend of Dark, and Light-Gaea faded into memory. Earth was renamed to Mobius during this time, and one day Mobius started to rumble. It was happening again. The animal tribes heard the world rumble constantly across the globe, they even saw purple tentacles glide across the sky. They knew they had to came together, and choose six warriors to fight this threat. The six chosen warriors will do what they can, and they encounter a unconscious Light-Gaea. They try to wake the little animal up, but are unable to do so. One of the warriors puts the animal on her back and continue their journey to find the 'source'.

After three days, Light-Gaea wakes up in a mass panic, he fumbles his words. The warriors calm him down and ask him for his name. The small creature can't seem to remember his own name. So with no other choice, they warp a rug around the creature and walking through the nearest crack in the Planet. They approach the crack, and see a evil purple aura leak out. Instantly, the creature that was travelling with them, remembers his name, it's Light-Gaia. He's doesn't recall his other half of his own name. The six warriors question their predicament, what can they do? Light-Gaia says that he must go, and thanks the warriors for taking care of him. He dives into the crack in Mobius and takes his evil counterpart with him. Mobius is saved, and the six warriors don't take any credit for the victory.

### Preventing the '13th Time of Awakening'

With the Chaos emeralds being the main cause of the 'Time of Awakening' events, and with the appearance of the violet emerald on Westside Island, The United Federation have called a meeting with the leaders of all the animal tribes attending the meeting. They discussed how they would seal the emeralds away. Canine Tribe quotes that the world has spitted apart into seven different places of the world. The room falls silent again. The president quotes that we will make a manuscript that protects this anomaly from happening and build a temple to steal the chaos emeralds away. Everyone gets a task to do in order to prevent 'Time of Awakening for the 13th time'. Twenty years pass, and the Gaea Manuscript is finished and all seven temples are finished. The Seven Chaos Emeralds are placed within the altar, and sealed away by a massive stone door that cannot be opened. The Manuscript is sealed away in United Federation database, and Peace falls across Mobius once more.

### Planet Babylonian

The Planet of The Babylonians was a very fancy and technologized race. The Alien race in appearance are purple humanoids with large wings. Their lower part of the body is nothing but a tornado that replaces the legs of a normal Mobian. They spent years advancing their technology and eventually made space ships that could act as an contingency plan. Most of the population were thieves. The Babylonians, who weren't thieves couldn't live a normal life as long as their friends or family would steal from them. So, they made guardians that looked like them, but it protected their treasure. It worked really well, it kept the thieves at bay for a few years.

Until the Thieves found a way around the Guardians. A device that could seal Guardians away. They used this device, and robbed everyone that stood in their way. Eventually, The Babylonians got fed up with this treatment. So, they decided to make a ship that could take them to another planet for a better chance of life. They spent everything on this spaceship. It costed a fortune, it wasn't easy. They spent twenty years making this spaceship. They came up with a clever name for it, 'The Babylon Garden'. But there was a massive problem, the ship wouldn't take off. The Babylonians realized that they needed a power source to take off. They forced the captured thieves to mine 'a special ore'. Once, the mining process was finished. They crafted, the 'Arks of the Cosmos'. With the power source out of the way, the Babylon Garden was sent into space with The Babylonians in it. Some of the thieves stuck on board and waited for the perfect time to strike. They had to blend in perfectly.

Fifty years later they reach a strange planet that seems very similar to Mobius Prime, It is Mobius Prime!. They approached Mobius, until suddenly one of the pilots, who were driving the ship were hijacked by the Thieves. This had a side-effect, the ark of the cosmos were vibrating uncontrollable. A massive fight broke out in the Babylon Garden. Suddenly, the fighting stopped when they discovered that they could not control the Arks of the Cosmos and that their power was about to create a black hole. In order to prevent this, the ancient Babylonians disconnected the Arks of the Cosmos from Astral Babylon and sent them into orbit of Mobius. The ship was forced to land on Mobius soon after. The Massive ship crashed into the ground, leaving it completely buried within Mazuri, never to be seen again. Luckily, One Babylonian survived by jumping out before the ship landed. This Babylonian was one of the Thieves. She blended in within the animal tribes that resembled a bird tribe. The Last remaining Babylonian bred within the bird tribe.

### The Kron

Thousands of years ago, the Kron Colony was originally a part of Planet Kron, the homeworld of the Kron. Then one day, the entire Kron race and a fragment of Planet Kron was pulled into the Twilight Cage by a mysterious Kron, who didn't want their race having that much power, presumably because the Kron was too powerful of a species. The fragment of Planet Kron that was pulled into the Twilight Cage would then become the Kron Colony. Immediately, the mysterious Kron character died.

Inside the Twilight Cage, the Kron Colony became the new home of the Kron, who settled down there and reestablished their civilization. Thanks to the Kron Colony being rich on the ores of Planet Kron, the Kron were able to maintain their mining lifestyle for thousands of years

### The Last survivor of the Babylonian

The last survivor of the Babylonians spent several years among the bird tribe, and breeding children for many years. One day, two of the Arks of the Cosmos landed near the bird tribe village. She found these Arks of the Cosmos, and hid them away in two locations, Gigan Rocks where she lived, and the another in Crimson Crater. She would spend the rest of her life at Crimson Crater, building a city from the ground up.

### The Phantom Ruby & Echidnas settling down in the area

The Phantom Ruby begins to form on Angel Paradise as Soon as the Echidnas settle down there. The Phantom Ruby is sealed within the grounds of Angel Paradise. The Echidnas begin to built better structures for their own race, and they expand across the lands. The Echidnas found the Master Emerald, and brought it back with them. They constructed a alter for the Master Emerald. Once the structure was complete The Emerald was placed on the Alter, and with a selected Guardian, who was chosen by the Echidna tribe. They fibre under the rule of their leader for years, which he is later named 'Chief of the Echidnas'. This Chief was a power hungry Echidna, and thirst for battle. He would always ask to spar with his fellow brothers, and sisters. He would also waged several wars against the other animals tribes for decades. With more and more territory to his tribe, he became more and more power hungry as the time went on.

The Echidnas love to dig for buried treasure. One day, they found the perfect treasure, The Phantom Ruby. The echidnas were baffled at the sight of the Phantom Ruby, and they showed the Chief what they found. He was dumb founded by the purple rock, and touched it without a second thought. The Phantom Ruby warped the throne room around it, and lifted the echidnas in the room. The Chief was mind blown by this, and tried to float to the ruby, he grabbed it and felt his body fuzz up. His eyes changed to the colour of the Phantom ruby. The Chief showed a smug look on his face, and told his fellow brothers that he will take over the world. This would kick off, 'The Echidna Civil War'.

### The Echidna Civil War

With the power of the Phantom Ruby flowing through The Chief's veins, he declares that he is going to take over the world. Many Echidnas think this is a stupid idea, and some agree with his intentions. This forced the Echidnas to pick two sides, 'Empty-Heads' or 'Nocturnus'. The Echidna Civil War has began, and several lives are lost. The Nocturnus invented power suits that reappeal any impact back at the opposite target. They created tools and new technologies that helped them win several important battles in the war. Few years later, it came down to the Phantom Ruby possessing the Chief in his throne room. The battle was brutal, and many Echidnas died, but it all came to an end when A female echidna, who was the Chief's wife, stabbed him in the back. As it turns out, his wife was a spy for the Nocturnus.

With the death of the Chief, the Nocturnus leave the other echidnas behind, and they decided to create their own civilization away from the Empty heads. They prosper for many years. The Empty heads buried the Phantom Ruby, along with the body of the first chief. Both sides still remained hostile to each other.

### The Rise of the Nocturnus clan

With thousands of years passing, the Nocturnus become the Nocturnus Clan, and with their advanced city, Nocturne, they sorted to invade neighbouring tribes. One of these invasions became to be known as "The Hedgehog-Rabbit Massacre", where fifty five percent of the Hedgehog, and Rabbit population were killed without mercy. Zeus The Hedgehog held off the Nocturnes Clan for several minutes before he was captured by the Gizoids. This allowed the Hedgehogs and Rabbits to migrate to South Island. The Nocturnus Clan invaded other places, but were stopped by the humans with modern artillery, and the Mobian tribes. A small little uprising occurs inside of the Nocturne. It is being lead by a Teenager Ix, and they demand peace, not war. The Leader of The Nocturnus leaves his office and personally sees the uprising for himself. The Leader of The Nocturnus watches as the Teenager IX protests on a crate to the people.

The Leader walks to the Teenager, and takes him on as a apprentice. Ix asks The Leader of The Nocturnus if he will make the changes to make his people happy. He agrees to Ix's demands, and over years, applies the changes to the Nocturnus Clan. The clan focuses on Science, not War and Conquest. Throughout the years, the Nocturnus Clan further advances the Gizoids, and peace falls over the Nocturnus Clan.

### The Rabbit-Hedgehog Migration

Hedgehogs and Rabbits built boats to cross the lands of Human U.Z.A, and made it across the Diving Sea to the Nation of South Island, where there were already Hedgehogs there. The Rabbits, and Hedgehogs made peace with the natives there. They got along quite well, sharing the stories of the horrible massacre by the Nocturnes Clan. Some Rabbits, and Hedgehogs converted to the Highest worshipping as it was what the Natives did on South Island. They built several structures like the underwater Labyrinth, Marble pillars Prison, which was built with traps for unwanted intruders. They built a city, called 'Star Light City'.

### Coming in contract with the Master Emerald

One day on Angel Paradise, the Guardian of the Master Emerald left his guard by falling asleep on the job. Normally, the Chao just dance and sing around the alter of the Master Emerald. But, this time, one of the Chao got curious, and touched the green Emerald. This sent a spark of Chaos energy through the young Chao. The Guardian of the Master Emerald woke up, and frantically grabbed the Chao. The Guardian got zapped by the Chaos infused Chao. The Guardian was baffled and lost for words. The Chao was drastically changes into a water like creature. The newly formed water creature stared at it's own appearance. The entire echidna tribe started to call him 'Chaos'. Chaos would protect the Chao from harm if it ever came to it.

### The Knuckles' Clan steals the Chaos Emeralds

Going by the name, Knuckles Clan now, they plan to steal the Chaos emeralds from the United Federation's database. The Knuckles' tribe memorise what Brave-Light taught them '*The servers are the 7 Chaos. Chaos is power... Power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos'.* The guardian uses this phrase to learn the location of the other emeralds via the Master Emerald. The guardian tells Grandma about this revelation, and suggests that he sends a couple of his best male echidnas to steal the Chaos Emeralds from the Gaia temples. She does exactly that and sends them on a mission, along with the Guardian to steal the emeralds.

This mission is all about patience, they learn the trust, and respect of their fellow Mobians, and humans. They even get to read the Gaia manuscripts written thousands of years ago. They learn the locations of the Chaos Emeralds, and plan to travel across the lands of Mobius to the Gaia temples. They approach the first Gaia Temple and realize that they have been 'moved' from their original position. Either way, they sneak to the door, and use their chant to open the massive stone door. They receive the first Chaos Emerald, and repeat the same process with the other Chaos Emeralds. Eventually, they have return to Angel Paradise, and put all the Chaos emeralds upon the alter.

### The Creation of The Little planet (4000+)

Uranus and Gaea were both born on Monopole, until they were forced to leave to South Island. Over the years, they were raised on South Island. They were both very smart, and strong for their age. So the duo decided to leave their tribe, and find a better place to live, something different. Uranus and Gaea built a raft that will help them to get to better land or whatever they could find. They eventually came across a land that held the largest lake on Mobius, the 'Never Lake'. The duo were very thirsty so they rushed over to the lake and before they could drink a figure appeared before them. The figure walked across the water to the soft grasslands of Mobius. It's the Green Angel, she welcomes the hedgehogs to Never Lake. Then, out of nowhere the duo feels a massive growth in power. She tells the duo to use the power wisely, if they ever choose to misuse their power, their offspring will bring he/she to justice.

With the Green Angel's job done, she fades away from existence. Uranus comes up with a idea that would test their new found power. He and his friend would create a planet. The process would take some time, and training. But, it would workout in the end with Little Planet being formed few months later.

### The Creation of the Time Stones (4000+)

The planet has undergone changes of its own. The Creators of the newborn Little Planet were turning their planet into a new habitable planet for all walks of life. The continents start to take shape. The oceans start to fill the empty spaces between continents, to form the dark blue oceans. The waves crash into the sandy grounds as the ocean is finally filled all the way up as it needs to be. Once the planet had the basic essentials for a planet, it was ready to serve at Nature's will. Gaea wonders where her friend is.

She finds her friend sitting on a branch. She process to take her anger out on him by throwing a rock at him. Uranus displays his powers to Gaea, but ends up falling out of the tree in the process. She helps her friend up and asks him if he can show that power off again. Uranus obliges and powers up. But, since his power is new to him still. He isn't quite use to it, and he falls unconscious. Uranus materializes strange gemstones from his body, he would later call these 'Time Stones'.

### Little Planet's Intruder (4000+)

The echidna tribe are getting use to the power of the Chaos emeralds, but only the Guardian, and chief know the true powers of the Master, and Chaos Emeralds. The Gaudian watches over the Master emerald quietly. The Chief, Pachacamac sits on his throne thinking deeply about his people's safety. He must find a power source to protect his tribe from the Nocturnus Clan. Two Echidnas walk in and greet their beloved leader. They have a chat about what Pachacamac was thinking about before. They come across the idea of the Time Stones. Distal herself has spied on the Little Planet, that's how she knows about the Time Stones. Distal and Pachacamac plan to pay a visit to the Little Planet.

Several days of planning and travelling, they finally reach the Little Planet. Little Planet comes in contract with Mobius' orbit. Pachacamac uses a grappling hook that reaches the planet's gravitational pull. They are pulled into to Little Planet. The duo are falling through the skies of Little Planet into they hit the ground with a immense impact. The duo lay in the crater with no injuries. Our other duo hear the loud bang in the distance. Uranus hears the loud fud, and goes investigate the disturbance. Uranus and the two echidnas met each other for the first time. Distal tries to trick Uranus, but he already know what they are after, the Time Stones. Uranus reveals that Gaea knew that Distal was spying on them. This leads to a massive battle between Uranus and the Two echidnas. The battle ends as it began, Uranus on his knees. The Echidnas demand Uranus hand over the Time Stones, Uranus of course refuses. Gaea comes in to aid Uranus, the Fight continues. During the Fight, Uranus and Gaea reveal the power of the Time Stones for the first time.

Distal, knowing that she may not win, she begins to plan to fuse with her friend. She teleports and explains to Pachacamac about 'Chaos Unification'. Uranus and Gaea rush to the location of the Echidnas, but its too late. The echidnas have fused, and the fight continues. Uranus and Gaea get the beat down of their lives. In the end, Gaea and Uranus feel hopeless in defeating Discamstal. Uranus thought of something that could help them out. The Time Stones could turn to the Super Time Stones and the Hedgehogs expand their powers to Hyper Miracle. The powerful duo is more than enough to weaken the fusion down. Discamstal knowing that 'it' can't win this fight, tries one last thing, blow up the planet. Uranus and Gaea catch wind of this and plan to finish the fusion off for good. A beam clash erupts and both parties struggle. Until Discamstal makes the biggest and most foolish mistake ever, enraging Uranus by making radical terms towards the hedgehog tribe. This ends up being Discamstal undoing and is blasted off Little Planet by a Full-Powered blast from Gaea and Uranus. The Fight is over, and Gaea and Uranus breath a sigh of relief. Until, Gaea brings up that she would like a child.

### The Construction of Central Empire City (4000+)

Uranus and Gaea found out that the Little Planet was getting more and more over populated. So, they got a group of animals to help them constructed a metropolis for the people trying to find better lives. It took four years for the metropolis to be completely built. Uranus was very proud of the progression, and made this the capital of the whole Little Planet and named the city 'Central Empire City'. Uranus would oversee several more super projects, the most popular building to Uranus and Gaea was the Empire Palace, but not to the people making it. Uranus was particularly harsh at the workers, he often forced them to work long gruelling hours.

Gaea suggested that Uranus be more sincere to his workers. Uranus ignored Gaea's advice, and when another accident occurred with one worker being unhappy with the the working conditions, she left his post. Uranus blackmailed her, and murdered her when she wasn't around with the others. Gaea saw this murder, and chose to ignore it for the mean time. This began Uranus' downfall into tyranny.

### The Birth of Chronos The Hedgehog (4000+)

The Little Planet has been populated by all different kinds of creatures. Gaea is giving birth in a hut in Quartz Quadrant Zone. The birthing process is finished, and nurse takes out a very healthy male hedgehog. The nurse hands Gaea the baby hedgehog, she holds the child with a smile on her face. Uranus teleports in and views Uranus his child, he is nothing but disgusted. He even goes as far as to say that he is a 'abomination' because he has a birth defect on edge of his sclera, where there is a streak. This streak is on of both sides of his Sclera. Gaea gets mad at Uranus for his rude remarks on their newborn. Uranus doesn't believe that thing is his child and refuses to believe it.

Uranus calming walks out of the room. Before he can do so, a pen is thrown at him. Uranus looks back and sees that his son did this. He's is a little mad, but realizes that his son might be as strong as he is, when he grows up to be his age. Uranus walks out on Gaea to better understand his new revelation.

Something he promised his people, he wouldn't do. He would personally fund his criminal organization from behind the curtains.

In the four years that have passed since Gaea, and Chronos left the Little Planet, Uranus has been training non-stop, and learning the arts of magic. One of his spells he learnt was 'the coming of Argus' spell. This could trap anyone within a unknown dimension, it has several locations and inhabitants trapped within the dimension. Uranus travelled this unfamiliar dimension, learning the different places there. He even comes close to death several times, due to his lack of knowledge there. Uranus finally explored everything within the strange dimension, until he spots strange tentacles moving outside of the wormhole he came from. He slowly approached the tentacles, and touched it.

Gaea explains how flying works, you just need to relax and focus on what you're feeling while slowly lifting your body up, he seems to struggle at first, but gets hang of it within twenty minutes. Gaea explains to Chronos that this will be his hardest lesson for him.

The task is to fight in a conflict that might occur and break it up, until they can make a truce of some sort. They reach Nocturne, and a very young Echidna around the same age as Chronos, spots the two hedgehogs landing in Nocturne. It's Shade The Echidna, she is angry and yells racial slurs at the Hedgehogs. The Echidnas and hedgehogs don't quite get long, ever since the Hedgehog-Rabbit Massacre.

Shade pops her blades out of her wrist and attacks Chronos. Gaea is surprised by this and attempts to break the fight up. He stops her and tells Gaea to find the empire building without him. Gaea is reluctant, he says he will be fine, plus he needs the exposure for this. Gaea leaves Chronos behind and spots the palace, where Imperator Ix resides at. She walks through the main doors, and she asks if she could talk to their leader, Ix. The guards laugh, but are stopped by their leader, Ix. She lets the dark red hedgehog in. They discuss peace talks to the leader, which he delices, but Ix will let her son, and Gaea join his army. Ix has been noticing the Knuckles Clan spies in his kingdom, which doesn't surprise Gaea in anyway. She agrees, and leaves to check up on her son.

The fight rages on in the Nocturne. The fight ends when Shade is sent through a house, holding a Echidna family. Chronos checks up on the family that seems very scared of what just happened. Chronos stops the fight and convinces Shade to stop this. Shade introduces herself to Chronos and they seem to get along very well, they even shake hands. Gaea returns and sees the damage. She questions the two, and is surprised to hear that her son was almost killed by this Echidna. Gaea turns her eyes to Shade and gives her a very serve glare that creeps Shade out. Gaea tells Chronos and Shade that the battle will begin in a few days. Chronos starts to feel very heavy for some reason.

A week later, and a loud bang can be heard, everyone hears a bang from a cannon, hitting the wall. Chronos and Gaea rise into the sky, The Knuckles Tribe rush down the hills, heading to the gates of Nocturne. The Nocturnus Clan guards put up a brave fight, but are killed off within seconds.

The Nocturnus Clan army begins to march towards The Knuckles clan. Shade is in her battle armour while she marches along with them. Among the army, the leader stands in front of them, Imperator Ix. Ix says some really offensive stuff to Pachacamac, which gets him mad and orders his echidna tribe to attack. Imperator Ix does the same and the amies clash.

The battle has begun, male and female echidnas smash into each other, spears and swords are being thrown. Chronos rushes off to her mother's despair, he launches himself towards the leader of the Knuckles' tribe, and sends a bone-rattling punch to his head. Pachacamac looks up with frustration in his eyes, Pachacamac grabs Chronos's arm and slams him towards the ground. He opens his arms to the sky, and yells out to Imperator Ix saying that he must be a fool to send a child to a battlefield. He can't help but think of the similarities to the Cyan Hedgehog and Uranus. He then realizes, this Hedgehog is the offspring of the foe he fought back on the Little Planet. Gaea kicks Pachacamac in the chest, Which sends him flying into his own army.

On the Little Planet, Uranus' eyes widen, and steps off his throne. he finds the energy signature of Gaea and Chronos, and teleports, which shakes the whole palace. He reappears on the hill, a few meters away from the fighting. He launches himself off the hill and towards Gaea. Pachacamac attempts to punch Gaea, she blocks and punches back Pachacamac.

During the fight, Uranus makes fun of Chronos, which causes him to join the fight. Uranus is embarrassed that his DNA is within Chronos. He continues the fight while throwing insults at Chronos, calling him ugly for having streaks on the edge of his eyes. Chronos begins to fear his father less and less as he begins to feel more anger towards his own father. The fight ends for Chronos, when Uranus kicks him in the stomach, which he gets sent flying into a group of Echidnas, which Shade just happens to be in that very group.

Shade looks at him, but then she turns away with a tear going down her cheek. She apologises to Chronos. he tears up, as the both of them disappear into the nothingness. They reappear at the canine village, and land in a pile of snow. Gaea breathes a sigh of relief, but Chronos just stares at his mother with tears streaming down his eyes, the cyan hedgehog cries in her arms.

A galactic wormhole appears from the sky, and godly like tentacles appear from it. The Nocturnus Clan view this spectacle, and are utterly terrified. Uranus teleports away from the area. Argus strikes down upon Nocturne, and lifts a chuck of the surrounding area into the wormhole. The Echidnas are scared and worried, but they all suddenly hear a voice in their head say 'Argus'. After that, they faint.

Gaea tells Chronos that *"Uranus hasn't been taking care of the planet. In fact, the planet's sky is gray, the grass is orange, and everything looks like a bomb went off. Most of Villages are either destroyed or beyond repair. The area is completely empty, avoided of life"*. Chronos and Gaea walk through the war-torn village, until three soldiers that are controlled by Uranus spot Gaea and Chronos. The Soldiers chase Gaea and Chronos and engage in a brawl.

Another fight breaks out and the fight ends when Uranus is on the ground bleeding through his nose. Ganos kicks Uranus in the face, which sends him flying across the grasslands. Uranus gets up and transforms into his Hyper Miracle form. Ganos isn't phrased by this and just smiles as it begins to transform.

Uranus slams his fist on ground as he watches his son fly away. he gets enraged and fires one last massive attack at Chronos. He turns and is surprised that his father is attacking him after all this. Chronos yells at him calling him a 'moron' as he charges up a bigger and more powerful blast, which vaporizes Uranus from the Little Planet for good. He checks up on his mother. Luckily, her mother is still alive. Gaea tells Chronos that *she will spread her essences across Mobius, she will create two beings 'Light Gaia' and 'Dark Gaia'*. This is her last gift to Chronos.

A young Echidna female grabs Chronos, and brings him to dry land. He wakes up and questions where he is. The Female echidna explains everything to him.

Tikal is seen by a large temple, speaking to herself "*The servers are the 7 Chaos. Chaos is power... Power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos*". Chronos walks over to her and asks her what she was talking about. Tikal explains that her grandmother taught her about this saying and she must never forget it. She then says the quote to Chronos again. Chronos listens very carefully and once she finishes, he asks what quotes means to her. Tikal isn't quite sure about it herself. Tikal knows there are seven chaos emeralds and the quote says seven, so it must mean something. He questions what she just said about the Chaos Emeralds. Tikal claims that they never got to introduce themselves before that little incident. Chronos and Tikal both get to know each other, and they become allies.

Tikal and Chronos have become friends for a few days now, they decide to be friend the Chao once again. They arrive at the alter of the Master Emerald, where the Chao are singing. They see Tikal and Chronos arriving and they run away scared. Tikal tells the Chao they don't need to be scared, they won't hurt them. One Chao doesn't run, but decides to jump into Tikal arms. Soon or later all the Chao are playing with Chronos and Tikal. Suddenly, there is a drip drip in the body of water nearby, Chronos hears this and tenses up. Tikal questions Chronos on his actions. He asks if Tikal has see the emeralds up close. Tikal hasn't because the creature who attacked Chronos is worried that it may not trust her.

Tikal and Chronos take their leave, until they hear a drip drip again. Tikal feels like the creature is speaking to her. She asks Chronos to join her and the both them walk to the Alter. But stop half way there. Tikal is unsure if the creature trusts her. The answer is followed by a drip drip, Tikal and Chronos gaze upon the Chaos emeralds. They continue up the steps to the alter. Once Chronos and Tikal make it up to the alter, she founds out the truth to the quote that the Master Emerald is one that unifies the chaos.

Tikal and Chronos visit the alter once more. They are greeted by the lovely voices of the Chao. Drip Drip can be heard, it sounds like Chaos is really enjoying it. Tikal and Chronos slowly walk up to the chao and they both smile at each other. They sit on the soft grass of Angel Paradise. Tikal explains to Chronos how she would love for her father to understand the meaning of peace. Chronos tells her that why doesn't she just go tell him yourself. Tikal begins to feel uneasy, he puts his hand softly on Tikal's hand. Chronos and Tikal eyes both widen as they look at each other. The Chao both turn around quickly and rush over to Tikal and Chronos. Tikal holds both of Chronos' hands as she stares into his eyes. She explains to Chronos that she never had the courage to stand up to her father.

Chronos teaches her how to stand up to her father by teaching her self-confidence. This takes a few hours and Tikal finally feels like she can stand up to her father. Tikal grabs Chronos' hand and pecks lightly on the cheek. Tikal and Chronos then track down Pachacamac and found him right in the middle of the temple's path. Tikal asked her father to leave the Chaos emeralds and the Master Emeralds alone, but, Pachacamac refused and he claimed that they need the emeralds to defeat the Nocturnus clan for good, not knowing that they have disappeared already. He also told Chronos to leave her daughter alone or else he will perish him along with his planet. Chronos ignored him and looked at one of the knuckles clan members. Pachacamac yells at him to listen to his words. Chronos snaps back and states that he should listen to his daughter for once in his life. Tikal begs his father to change his ways.

Chaos absorbs the negative energy of the chaos emeralds and transforms into Perfect Chaos. Perfect Chaos terrorizes the Knuckles clan villagers with floods and waterspouts. Water rushes through homes, killing innocent echidnas.

Tikal claims that Chaos has taken all the Negative energy from the emeralds and transformed into Perfect Chaos. Chronos looks at the dead chao and picks up all the emeralds, Chronos and Tikal think of a plan. Tikal says the quote that her grandmother taught her "*The servers are the 7 Chaos. Chaos is power... Power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos*". Chronos and Tikal feel the positive energy return to the emeralds.

When she got there, the All-Father forced Gaea's dark side into the Earth's core and told Gaea's good side to forever fight against the darkness. Light-Gaea nodded and travelled to Earth. From time to time this would happen and Gaea would lose track of her true name and one day she just called herself Light-Gaia.

Light-Gaia asks Chronos to help because Mobius has broken apart into seven parts, and we need go to the Gaia temples and restore Mobius as well as the colour to the Chaos Emeralds. Chronos is surprised about the last thing Light-Gaia said to him and realizes that he saw the same thing happen on Angel Paradise (Angel Island Now). He agrees to do what Light-Gaia wants and they sent off on a journey to save the world once more. They go to Angel Paradise and see a guardian there watching the Emeralds. Chronos and Light Gaia kindly ask the Guardian for the Chaos emeralds, but the Guardian says no and asks for them to leave. Chronos states that they need this to save Mobius. The Guardian attacks Chronos, but Chronos ends the fight with a neck chop. Light-Gaia wipes his mind about the encounter and the Chaos emeralds even being there.

Chronos and Light-Gaia take the emeralds and visit the six Gaia-Temples around Mobius and while putting the Chaos emeralds in the slot. One by one all six pieces of Mobius join back. The last Gaia-Temple is a massive head, Chronos puts the Chaos emerald in the slot and everything begins to shake, he grabs Light-Gaia and holds him tightly. The Last part of Mobius is moving back into place. The part of Mobius that was just put back into place is risen up again. Light-Gaia calls upon all the Gaia temples to form himself into Gaia Colossus. The Gaia Colossus takes Chronos and travels all the way underneath the last part of Mobius. They find Dark-Gaia releasing her purple tentacles around the lava and underneath the seventh part of Mobius, Dark-Gaia reveals herself. Gaia Colossus battles Dark-Gaia. The battle ends when Dark-Gaia grabbing onto the Gaia Colossus tightly, trying to break him.

Chronos freezes time and travels across the Gaia Colossus breaking the grip of Dark-Gaia. He rushes to the fist of the Gaia Colossus and yells to Light-Gaia to throw a right hook. The Gaia Colossus does and right as he makes contract with Dark-Gaia. Chronos freezes Time and jumps off the fist. The Gaia Colossus punches Dark-Gaia, and makes impact. He uses a homing attack on Dark-Gaia's eye fourteen times, he backflips and materializes a falchion energy blade and stabs her right into her main eye. Chronos jumps back onto the Gaia Colossus. Dark-Gaia holds her eye in pain and knocks him away, making the Gaia Colossus fall into the lava. Light-Gaia tells Chronos to use the Chaos emeralds. Chronos is reluctant at first, but goes through with it. He crosses his arms and transforms into Super Chronos. The Gaia Colossus gets back up and fights once more. Super Chronos and the rocky Kaiju engage in one last fight with Dark-Gaia.

The Fight ends when Super Chronos freezes time around Dark-Gaia, so the Gaia Colossus can land a thunderous uppercut blow to the jaw of Dark-Gaia. Dark-Gaia has had enough and violently grabs the Gaia Colossus. Super Chronos grins his teeth in anger claiming that isn't going to lose anymore family. Super Chronos grabs his falchion energy blade and cuts all six of Dark-Gaia's arms. Dark-Gaia lets her grip of the rocky Kaiju go. Dark-Gaia falls back slowly in pain but then fires a purple laser at the Gaia Colossus. The Gaia Colossus struggles to block, but blocks it none the less and breaks the laser in half. The Gaia Colossus' fist glow green and punches Dark-Gaia. Super Chronos travels through Dark-Gaia hands, which he's trying to stop him with, and Super Chronos dashes through Dark-Gaia eye with his falchion energy blade.

Dark-Gaia falls back into Mobius's inner core. Super Chronos rushes to the top and smiles while beginning to lose consciousness. he fades into his normal form and falls into the palm of The Gaia Colossus. "*I love you, Son, never forgot this!*" Light-Gaia says as he throws Chronos out of the Layers of Mobius. The Seventh part of Mobius closes after Chronos leaves it. He wakes up on The Miracle Planet, and thinks about what her mother said to him. The Cyan Hedgehog then falls into a depression, this kicks off the events of "Chronos and The Five Stages of Grief".

### Project Shadow

Project Shadow was conceived over fifty years before the Black Arms' arrival on earth by the President of the United Federation at that time under the premise of achieving *"mankind's ultimate eternal dream: researching for immortality".* However, the true intent for the project was to use the results to develop weapons of mass destruction. The President personally requested Professor Gerald Robotnik, the most brilliant mind of his time, for assistance. Initially, Gerald refused, believing that they were crossing the limits that man should not tamper with and that they would use his research for war. But then he realized that he could co-opt the program in order to find a cure for Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome, an incurable and fatal disease afflicting his beloved granddaughter, Maria. As such, Gerald eventually accepted the request and agreed to lead the project on the Space Colony ARK, an orbiting facility isolated from Mobius. There, all advanced research on the project was strictly confidential.

The name 'Shadow' in particular was coined for the project due to the the irony that a shadow could not be created, referencing the belief that immortality was not possible and working as a metaphor of "*unreal things*". However, Gerald himself thought that the name sounded "*villainous*". At first, everyone thought that Project Shadow was far too reckless and far-fetched to have ever been fabricated by Gerald's gifted mind. In the beginning, the professor and his colleages researched the Chaos Emeralds, resulting in the creation of the Chaos Drives, during tests to apply Chaos Emerald energy to living beings. When those tests proved successful, the project moved onto creating the prototype of an immortal being dubbed "*The Ultimate Lifeform*'.

During development, Gerald needed help with his work and as such made contact with Black Doom, the alien leader of the Black Arms race, during the fifty-year return of the Black Comet. In exchange for the seven Chaos Emeralds being delivered to him in fifty years, the alien assisted the professor with his research, going so far as to provide genetic material for the project in the form of his own blood.

The project eventually produced the "*Prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform*", dubbed the Biolizard, which was modeled after a lizard. At 12:30am on 27 January, the Biolizard was brought to life, its external engine and Chaos Control-inducing organ working normally. The Biolizard demonstrated many of the desired traits as it grew, including regeneration and self-reproduction, though it required a Life Support System fueled by Chaos Drives to remain viable. While the researchers were overjoyed over the Biolizard's evolution, their joy was brief. In addition to having an unexpected and exponentially fast growth rate, the Biolizard was like a primitive animal. It also lacked the strength to walk, although its tail and neck were strong. As such, it was kept it under observation. Eventually, the Biolizard evolved to become so unruly that the researchers had trouble controlling it.

Over time, the development of the ultimate lifeform continued and shifted. Using the DNA of Black Doom, Gerald created a new version of the prototype, but using a more desirable physique for the creature. Because of the Biolizard's violent nature, doubts about Project Shadow began internally from the researchers, who began questioning the duration, significance and safety of the research. Eventually, private information about the project leaked to GUN, presumably by the internal staff who had witnessed the prototype going out of control. Since the nature of the project also made the government uneasy following Gerald's contact with the Black Arms, they considered freezing Project Shadow, In an attempt to keep Project Shadow going, Gerald offered the Gizoid, an ancient robotic superweapon he had discovered, to the government as a bribe. Unfortunately, the bribe did not work and the Gizoid went on a rampage on the ARK.

Project Shadow was eventually completed after years of research when Gerald produced a more advanced version of the prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform with Black Doom's DNA: Shadow the Hedgehog. Gerald imparted the hedgehog with a heart and personality similar to that of Maria in the hopes that he would not become a weapon. In addition to possessing immortality, Shadow did not need machinery to live, could complete tasks alone, and possessed both high intelligence and his own identity. The hedgehog himself became close to those living on the ARK, especially Maria, who shared his curiosity of Mobius, though he would occasionally ponder about what his true purpose was.

Fearful of how dangerous and costly Gerald's experiments were, the military plotted to take possession of Shadow. The top ranking officials of GUN, who saw the research institution's uniqueness as hostile, arrived at the decision to set a plan to close the ARK itself. To this, they formulated the "*ARK Seal Destruction Operation"* that took advantage of its current situation. Making up a public story that a biohazard had occurred within the ARK research institution for ostensible purposes, all of the colony's residents were to be evacuated while the research facilities were sealed. The plan's true purpose however, was to close down the ARK's research facility, destroy everyone and everything related to Project Shadow, and detain Gerald as the cause of the accident.

Sometime after the completion of Project Shadow, the ARK was violently invaded by GUN Soldiers, evacuating civilians and killing researchers. During the attack, Gerald put his finishing touches on Shadow. As GUN's Special Forces rushed the ARK's laboratory, Gerald had Maria escape with Shadow. In the ensuing chase, Maria and Shadow got to the escape pods, but Maria was shot by a soldier when helping Shadow escape. Mortally wounded, Maria ejected Shadow to earth in an escape pod with her last strength. Meanwhile, Gerald made sure the escape pod was rejected safely towards Mobius.

Despite the complications, the military's plan went along. Within a week, the residents of the ARK had all been moved back to Mobius, the ARK's research facilities had been frozen, and the people involved in Project Shadow, except for Gerald, were announced as victims of the accident told to the public. The plan was completed when the Biolizard was sealed away onboard the ARK after finding it in the deepest part of the space station. The ARK was then sealed off, probably to prevent the Biolizard from falling into the wrong hands.

### The Aftermath of Project Shadow

With the operations about Project Shadow ceased on the ARK, Gerald was taken to Prison Island to continue his research under military control. The military later retrieved Shadow and brought him to Prison Island for Gerald to continue his work, but when Gerald learned that Maria had been killed, he went mad with grief. While it was thought that he was continuing his research with Shadow, Gerald secretly created a program that would cause the ARK to fall to Mobius and destroy it as his revenge at humanity, going as far as to brainwash Shadow to make him carry out his revenge when he awoke. When the military began to fear how Gerald might retaliate, however, they incarcerated him on Prison Island. Knowing only the danger of Project Shadow, the military sealed the island and abandoned the professor's research. Gerald was subsequently executed while Shadow was placed in suspended animation on Prison Island.

### Gerald Robotnik finds Emerl

Evidently during the time of Project Shadow, Gerald uncovered an ancient robot called the Gizoid from a warehouse. Believing it was made by an ancient civilization, Gerald experimented on it with Chaos Emeralds and accidentally activated it. By researching papers related to the Gizoid and the Chaos Emeralds, and later an ancient stone tablet which he had discovered, Gerald theorized this robot was what caused the destruction of the Fourth Great Civilization. His further research and observations also revealed the Gizoid could mimic combat abilities and weapons, and that it possessed vast amount of data on melee combat and weapons of its age, data that which crashed Gerald's most advanced computers when he tried scanning it. Theorizing the Gizoid's full potential should it be fully restored, Gerald realized he had uncovered a horrible weapon.

As Gerald continued to research the Gizoid, he discovered that the Gizoid would swear loyalty to those with great power by establishing a "Link" with them. To keep the Gizoid under his control and from being used for evil, Gerald successfully made a Link with it by demonstrating his model weapon collection to it. However, in fear of someone with evil intentions forming a Link with the Gizoid, Gerald researched how to re-establish a Link with the Gizoid should it be lost.

### Solaris Project

The public face of the Solaris Project held it to be an energy research program. However, in actuality its scope was far more ambitious, to achieve nothing less than control of time itself, through study and manipulation of a super-dimensional phenomenon called the *Flame of Hope* - otherwise known as Solaris, worshiped as a sun god by the people of Soleanna.

The Duke of Soleanna is presumed to have been the driving force behind the Solaris Project. His exact motivations for conducting the dangerous research are uncertain. When shown talking about the project to his daughter Elise during a flashback, the Duke outlines a utopian vision of a timeline where humanity has erased its past mistakes. However, when questioned by Elise, he significantly adds "*Yes, Elise. We'll both be able to see your mother once again...*" - a line which casts some doubts upon the Duke's supposedly selfless humanitarianism.

### The Aftermath of the Solaris Project

When Shadow and Silver travel into the past from the present, they observe firsthand the disaster, which violently curtailed the project. A spatial meltdown caused an explosion in Aquatic base's control room, killing most of the technicians and mortally wounding the Duke. But even more ominously, the accident caused Solaris to split into two component beings, Mephiles the Dark and Iblis. Shadow and Silver were able to seal these two entities inside the Scepter of Darkness and a young Princess Elise respectively, preventing any further damage to the facility. The Solaris Project's destruction also resulted in the abandonment of the immense Soleannean royal palace in Kingdom Valley.

### Sonic The Hedgehog

The story begins on South Island. This island is known for being a treasure trove of ruins and gems. Amongst these gems are the Chaos Emeralds, six gemstones with enough power to bring energy to all living beings, or power nuclear and laser weapons through science and technology. However, nobody really knows how to obtain these gems. This is because South Island is a moving island, with the Chaos Emeralds existing within natural distortions on the island.

One day, danger comes upon South Island. The human mad scientist, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, lands on it with his minions. Having returned to his evil ways, he schemes a new plan to crush his arch-nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog, with the power of science. Soon after his arrival, the doctor builds a huge fortress on one corner of the island and begins to develop on it. He also begins hunting the Chaos Emeralds in order to use their incredible power, declaring that he will find them even if he has to dig up the entire island.

Upon learning of Dr. Robotnik's ambitions through rumors, Sonic rushes to South Island to stop the doctor. However, he notices that, compared to his past encounters with his nemesis, something is different. He soon after finds Robotnik, who gloats that he has caught all the local Animals and turned them into his mindless Badniks. Unfazed by his adversary's taunt, the hedgehog travels through the various Zones on South Island, freeing the Animals and defeating the scientist and his various contraptions along the way while hunting for the Chaos Emeralds.

Eventually, Sonic arrives in Scrap Brain Zone. After he is found inside, Robotnik presses a switch that destroys the floor the hedgehog is standing on, dropping him into the ruins underneath the base. Making his way back into Robotnik's fortress, Sonic eventually enters a trap, ridden room with his nemesis in it. After the hero destroys the room, a defenseless Robotnik tries to escape in his Egg Mobile. Before the forces of evil can escape, however, Sonic lands a final hit on the hovercraft, defeating the villain and causing him to slowly fall into a pit.

With Robotnik's ambitions and Scrap Brain Zone crumbled, peace has returned to South Island, all Badniks have been destroyed, the Animals are liberated from their capsules, and the island's treasures and jewels are safe once again. Sonic then returns to Green Hill Zone, where he finds the local Animals joyfully jumping around and celebrating his victory.

### SegaSonic The Hedgehog

Sonic, Ray and Mighty have been kidnapped by the evil Dr. Robotnik, who uses his large tank vehicle to do so. He takes them to Robotnik Island, an island littered with traps and hazards that can be activated with the push of a button.

Sonic, Ray and Mighty team up to escape the island, as the trio must survive the various hazards of the island and reach Robotnik's Tower. As they arrive at the control room, Robotnik presses a button that triggers a self-destruct sequence that will destroy the entire island. The trio manage to flee the island before the explosion. The evil doctor also escapes, but suddenly falls into the sea due to his Egg Mobile running out of fuel.

### Tails' Skypatrol

One day, Tails sets off for his own adventure. However, he does not have a destination in mind, instead wanting to have a little adventure to get away from the bullies. He flies aimlessly across the sky until he spots an isolated little island underneath the clouds in the middle of the sea. Hoping to find something interesting there, Tails lands on the island. To his surprise however, he sees that the terrain on the island is covered by steel rails and devoid of Animals. As Tails ponders about how it cannot be possible for Dr. Robotnik to be behind this, he feels a vibration in the rails under his feet.

Scared, he hides in the grass nearby. He then sees a shadow moving across the rails. This shadow eventually turns out to be a trolley with a female human figure in it. The figure reveals herself as Witchcart, who proclaims herself the ruler of the island and threatens to turn strangers into crystal. She then sends her minions, Hocke-Wulf, Bearenger and Carrottia, to do their respective patrollings on the island. After the henchmen obediently leave in their flying machines, Tails decides to free the island from Witchcart's rule and energetically takes off. Exploring the island, Tails defeats Hocke-Wulf, Beareanger, and Carrottia. After that, he ultimately encounters Witchcart, whom he defeats as well. With the island freed from Witchcart, Tails takes his leave, flying happily through the sky as he departs.

### Sonic CD

On Mobius, there is an enormous lake called Never Lake, which is known for being where the mystical Miracle Planet, a small planet of both beauty and wonder, appears above for one month once a year. Also known as the 'Miracle Planet', this planetoid is known for being the home of the Time Stones, seven mystical gemstones that can freely control time, which allows them to turn a desert into a jungle, clean polluted lakes, and perform other time-crossing wonders.

Not long after the Miracle Planet makes its annual appearance at Never Lake, Dr. Robotnik takes notice of the Time Stones. Intending to build a fortress on the planet and use its stones for his goal of global domination, he plans to seize it for himself. To make sure that the planetoid does not leave, the doctor chains it to a nearby mountain with his face sculpted on it, before covering it in a metallic shell as he constructs his fortress, all while scouring the planet for the Time Stones. Meanwhile, the doctor uses the unique temporal passages on Miracle Planet to invade the past of the planet, where he fills it with robot transporters and Metal Sonic holograms in order to turn its future into one where he has total control. This affects the Miracle Planet's fate severely, to the point where it becomes a ruined land in Robotnik's future.

Eventually, Sonic the Hedgehog races his way across fields, over lakes and through forests to get to Never Lake and see the Miracle Planet for himself, not knowing about Robotnik's actions. Upon receiving the report that his nemesis is approaching, the doctor's eyes light up and a fearless smile appears on his face. Assured that he will be able to finally crush the hedgehog once and for all with his scientific prowess, he excitedly proclaims, with a blue flash of light that lurks behind him, that he will seize the Time Stones and finally conquer the world.

Meanwhile, Sonic arrives at Never Lake. To his surprise however, he finds the Miracle Planet in its sad and chained state following Robotnik's takeover. Seeing the planet chained to the nearby mountain, he suspects that the doctor is behind it all, and travels to the Miracle Planet via the chain keeping it tied to this world. Ending up in Palm tree Panic, Sonic learns that he needs to destroy the robot teleporters in the past and secure the Time Stones before his nemesis does. While collecting the first Time Stone, Chronos is awaken by Sonic's intrusion. He watches as Sonic leaves via warp ring, Chronos follows him. As he continues his adventure however, he meets Amy Rose, a female hedgehog, who has come to the Miracle Planet after predicting a "destined" encounter with him on the small world with her tarot cards. Upon seeing the blue hedgehog, Amy instantly falls in love with him and tries to hug him. Not reciprocating her advances, Sonic tries to continue with his adventure.

After encountering Robotnik and forcing him to retreat by defeating his EGG-HVC-001, Sonic continues onward to Collision Chaos with Chronos and Amy following him. Upon arriving there however, the pink hedgehog is kidnapped by the doctor's latest and greatest creation to date 'Metal Sonic', a lethal robot built in Sonic's image. Chronos spots Metal Sonic and suspects Sonic is up to something. The robot proceeds to leave with her despite Sonic's attempts to save her. Now having to save both the Miracle Planet and Amy, the blue blur continues onward, overcoming and defeating his nemesis and his contraptions along the way.

Eventually, Sonic arrives in Stardust Speedway. There, he finds Robotnik and Metal Sonic, the latter challenging him to a deadly race, with the former keeping a laser active behind them as they race forward. In the end though, the hedgehog defeats his robot copy, who gets smashed after he crashes into a gate closing in front of him, which forces the doctor to retreat. Afterwards, Sonic frees Amy, who hugs him as a thanks.

Soon after, Sonic travels to Metallic Madness. Inside this stronghold, he eventually encounters Robotnik using the Egg Spinner in an attempt to defeat him. However, the machine is destroyed, triggering a chain reaction that causes the Miracle planet's metallic shell to crumble and forces the hedgehog to escape from the Miracle Planet with Amy. Sonic leaves Amy behind, and continues his search for Robotnik, he finds Robotnik, and tosses a rock that destroys his Egg Mobile. Sonic smiles and speeds off. Suddenly, Chronos punches him in face, Sonic falls to ground, and they engage in a brawl. It ends in a tie, Sonic convinces Chronos that he isn't the enemy and points to the real enemy. Chronos apologises, and goes after Robotnik, he threatens Robotnik to give him the Time Stone he took from his planet. Robotnik refuses, but Chronos grabs the time stone anyways, and teleports back to his planet.

### Tails' Adventure

Cocoa Island is a small island that floats on a coral reef in the far southern ocean of Mobius. This island in particular cannot be found on any map. According to legends, the mystical Chaos Emeralds have been lying on this island since time immemorial. It has been a long time since a young fox cub and inventor, Miles Prower, nicknamed Tails, has come to live on Cocoa Island, having built his own laboratory on the southern tip of the island. He lives in this laboratory every day as he pleases.

One day, some time before the West Side Island incident, Tails is taking a nap in a forest near his house. The greenery of the forest blocking out the sunlight and the chirping of the nearby birds make it a very pleasant place to rest in for Tails. Suddenly, however, the tranquility is abruptly interrupted by a giant explosion deep into the forest. Tails, panicked and confused by the current situation, is told by a Flicky that the island has been invaded by the Battle Kukku Empire, the imperial army of the evil dictator Great Battle Kukku, who has come to Cocoa Island to search for the Chaos Emeralds to dominate the world. Having no idea of what is going on, Tails spots the silhouette of a giant mech tearing down the trees in the forest and spreading the fires. Meanwhile, Great Battle Kukku is celebrating that he has found Cocoa Island. Now determined to get the Chaos Emeralds, he has sent a massive mining army to find the Emeralds.

Tails, having mustered up all his courage to stand up against the armada, sets off on his first adventure. Making his way across the island, he defeats the armies of the Battle Kukku Empire and collects the Chaos Emeralds. Eventually, Tails, in his Sea Fox, happens to come across a nearby island, which turns out to be the empire's base, the artificial Coco Island. After he defeats Dr. Fukurokov there, the island turns into the Battle Fortress and rises to the sky. Using a modified Sea Fox, he infiltrates the warship and fights against both the Battle Kukku XVI and the Great Battle Kukku. In the end, he defeats the two, his victory resulting in the Battle Fortress sinking in the sea. Tails, accompanied by a Flicky, is seen building a giant robot in the backyard of his house. After a few setbacks, he is able to complete his project, which is revealed to be a large Remote Robot, and celebrates with the Flicky. However, the robot explodes, leaving the two perplexed and covered in gray dust.

### Sonic The Hedgehog 2

While out looking for new adventures in his personal plane, the Tornado, Sonic the Hedgehog discovers West Side Island, a small island with a pleasant meadow. Landing on the island to relax, Sonic slides his Tornado into the shadow of West Side Island, drawing a white arc with exhaust smoke. However, he does not pay attention to the fact that a certain metallic flying object has been chasing him and suspiciously lands on the other side of the island. It is said that a very long time ago, the people of West Side Island used mysterious stones to advance their civilization and achieve prosperity. However, when those people tried to use the stones for the wrong reasons, their prosperity vanished overnight. It is also believed that the gods then sealed away the stones within the island's depths.

One day, Sonic notices a shy orange fox tagging behind him, who nervously hides behind a palm tree when Sonic spots him. What Sonic does not notice while he is not looking is that this peculiar fox barely manages to keep up with him. This young fox cub's name is Miles Prower, though he is known as "Tails" due to his two special tails, which has often made him the target of bullying. However, something changed in Tails when he saw Sonic come to the island, and he made up his mind that he wanted to be as cool as Sonic. After Sonic starts running, Tails does his best to keep up with him. Realizing that the young fox is harmless, Sonic allows him to hang around while he freely explores the island, letting the young fox see what he can do.

On an early afternoon, Tails discovers the lone Tornado on the beach. Being a budding fan of machinery and vehicles, he rushes up to take a closer look. As he is admiring its magnificent build however, he notices that Sonic is taking a nap under the Tornado's wing. Realizing that the hedgehog owns the plane, Tails gently retreats to the other side of it so as not to wake him up. Suddenly however, an ominous flash occurs in the direction of the nearby forest, which is then followed by a horrible explosion. The wildfire blows away various debris, which Tails avoids by taking cover underneath the Tornado as he witnessed robots violently excavating the area. This ceaseless activity threatens to blanket the entire island in its destructive flames.

As it turns out, Dr. Robotnik has detected the presence of all the Chaos Emeralds on West Side Island after following Sonic, including the lost seventh one spoken of in the island's legend. He has thus taken the opportunity to kidnap the island's Animals to rebuild his Badnik forces and search for the Chaos Emeralds so he can finish his ultimate weapon, a space fortress known as the Death Egg. Tails, staring blankly at the fire, turns his head to see Sonic, who is glaring at the forest as well. Wasting no time, he rushes into the forest to set things right, with Tails following him. Meanwhile, in the forest, Robotnik's laughter is heard. He loudly gloats with pride that he had been chasing after Sonic to find West Side Island and get the Chaos Emeralds as a part of his world conquest.

Making their way across West Side Island, Sonic and Tails free the many Zones from Robotnik's rule. They also meet the doctor on many occasions, but they always defeat him. Once the island is freed, and the Chaos Emeralds are collected, they take to the skies in the Tornado to reach the doctor's fortress, the Wing Fortress Zone. However, as they are about to arrive at the vessel, the latter shoots the Tornado, forcing Sonic to hop onto the aircraft and continue onward on his own while Tails and the Tornado fall from the sky. Later, in the control room of the ship, Sonic encounters and defeats Robotnik again, forcing the doctor to escape and take off in his spacecraft. Just as Robotnik has left though, Tails arrives in a repaired and modified Tornado and gives Sonic a ride that lets him catch up to the spacecraft. Sonic proceeds to grabs a hold of the spacecraft as it heads into space and arrives at the Death Egg.

Onboard the Death Egg, Sonic meets Mecha Sonic. After destroying his robot copy, Sonic finds Robotnik and chases after him, but the doctor quickly escapes into his final trump card; the Death Egg Robot, prepared to destroy Sonic with it. After a heated battle, Sonic manages to destroy the Death Egg Robot, which triggers a chain-reaction that causes the entire Death Egg to explode

Back on West Side Island, Tails and some Animals are looking at the sky as they witness the Death Egg explode, dyeing the sky in pure white. As they wait for Sonic's return, Tails gets worried about the hedgehog. Wanting to help, the fox cub jumps into the Tornado and goes to save Sonic. Meanwhile, Sonic barely manages to escape the Death Egg, leaving Robotnik behind and leaving the space station to fall into the atmosphere. Sonic grabs onto the tornado, and transforms into Super Sonic, as they follow the path of the rapidly descending Death Egg.

### Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles

Following the West Side Island incident, Dr. Robotnik's Death Egg falls from orbit and impacts the Floating Island along the way, thus pushing the island into the ocean and creating a giant tsunami. Fortunately, the island does not sink into the sea; instead, it stays slightly above the sea as if nothing has happened. Having survived the crash, Robotnik is aware that the Chaos Emeralds are somewhere on the Floating Island. He also detects the energy of a giant Chaos Emerald on the island, which he can use to re-launch the Death Egg. With this new plan in mind, the doctor starts to build a base on the Floating Island while catching the local Animals to turn them into Badniks.

Days later, Dr. Robotnik meets Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the Floating Island. Aware of the echidna's position and duty, the doctor falsely tells him that he is a kind scientist who has come to "*investigate*" the Death Egg. He also "warns" him about Sonic, whom he says is an evil hedgehog that plans to steal the island's Master Emerald. Believing Robotnik, Knuckles teams up with him to stop Sonic. After blowing up the Death Egg, Sonic and Tails follow the Death Egg as it falls on floating island.

Arriving with Tails at the Floating Island in the Tornado, Sonic uses the seven Chaos Emeralds to turn Super Sonic and begins exploring the island while his friend follows him. Shortly after the hedgehog arrives on the island however, Knuckles pulls off a cheap shot on him from below, causing him to lose his Super State and dropping the Chaos Emeralds. The echidna proceeds to take the Emeralds before running off. Now having to retrieve the Emeralds again and stop Dr. Robotnik, Sonic and Tails make their way across the island, dealing with the doctor's and Knuckles' attacks along the way. Eventually, they arrive at Launch Base Zone, Dr. Robotnik's base, where he has almost finished re-building the Death Egg. At the end of this Zone, the spaceship is ready to take off. In a attempt to reach it, the duo hitch a ride on a nearby Egg Mobile, though Knuckles keeps them from proceeding with it. Fortunately, local tremors causes him to lose his balance and fall down from the pillar he is on, allowing Sonic and Tails free passage. In the end, the heroes manage to jump onto a platform on the Death Egg just as it starts to take off. There, Robotnik returns to defeat Sonic through excessive force with the Egg Rocket. As Sonic and Tails defeat their nemesis once more, the battle has already taken its toll on the Death Egg during a critical point of its launch, and the space fortress plummets back to the Floating Island while Sonic and Tails watch from afar.

Immediately after, Sonic and Tails fall to Mushroom Hill Zone. Meanwhile, the Death Egg lands in the Floating Island's volcano, still intact enough for Dr. Robotnik to salvage it and re-launch it. Aware of this, their heroes continue their mission to destroy the spaceship. However, their quest is suddenly interrupted when they spot Knuckles appearing from a hidden door in the thicket. After carefully examining the vicinity, the echidna disappears into the forest. Once sure that he is gone, the hedgehog and the fox emerge from their hiding place and open the door from where Knuckles came out of with a nearby switch. Inside the hidden room, they are caught in an overflowing, dazzling light. Taking a closer look inside it, they see a Super Ring. Unable to quell their curiosity about what this ring could be, they touch it, causing them to be taken to Hidden Palace Zone, a giant solemn hall with a pristine altar. There, they see eight pillars with the Master Emerald and some other stones, which use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become inert Super Emeralds. Filled with questions, Sonic and Tails decide to set off to power the Super Emeralds, stop Robotnik from re-launching the Death Egg again, and uncover the mystery of Hidden Palace Zone.

Making their way though the Floating Island, Sonic and Tails arrive in Lava Reef Zone, the location of the Death Egg. In an attempt to stop the heroes, the space fortress uses its laser eyes to reactivate the volcano. Surviving this attack, the duo arrives in Hidden Palace Zone again, where they have a battle against Knuckles. After the echidna is defeated though, he and the heroes witness Robotnik stealing the Master Emerald. Enraged, Knuckles tries to stop his former comrade, only for the latter to electrocute him and escape. Realizing that the doctor had lied to him and that Sonic and Tails were actually trying to save the Floating Island all along, the echidna takes the heroes to Sky Sanctuary Zone, where the hedgehog and the fox continue onward, dealing with Mecha Sonic Mk. II along the way, before managing to get onboard the Death Egg as it continues its ascent into the stratosphere.

With the Death Egg revived again and having made it into space, Sonic and Tails pass though Dr. Robotnik's many contraptions, before fighting the doctor and his Master Emerald-powered Giant Egg Robot Mk. II. After losing the battle, Robotnik tries to escape in his Egg Mobile with the Master Emerald, only to be stopped, triggering a chain reaction that causes the Death Egg to crumble and explode. However, the Master Emerald remains in space amongst the wreckage, which Robotnik attempts to escape with using his Final Weapon spacecraft as a last resort.

Calling upon the power of the Super Emeralds, Sonic transforms into his Hyper form and gives chase to the fleeing doctor. Another profound battle ensues between the two forces. Sonic prevails in the end, managing to rescue the Master Emerald and destroying the Final Weapon in the process. With Robotnik's getaway foiled, Sonic returns the Master Emerald in its rightful place on Angel Island with the assistance of Tails.

Knuckles having now befriended with Sonic and Tails, Mecha Sonic Mk. II plots an attack on the Floating Island after the destruction of the Death Egg. To aid it in its plans, it makes an Egg Robo its subordinate and sends it to fight against Knuckles. Later, while the echidna is relaxing in Angel Island Zone with some Animals, they are attacked when a bomb is thrown by the Egg Robo hits them. Fortunately, either by toughness or luck, Knuckles survives the bomb and takes off after the Egg Robo.

Making his way across the Floating Island, Knuckles has many battles against the EggRobo. Eventually arriving in Sky Sanctuary Zone, where the Floating island is shown falling slowly from the sky, the echidna is caught by the Egg Robo using the Egg Mobile's hook, and is brought to a reactivated Mecha Sonic Mk. II. As the robot is about to attack Knuckles though, the latter frees himself at the last moment, making Mecha Sonic Mk. II accidentally destroy the Egg Mobile and the Egg Robo in the process. Immediately after, a battle between Knuckles and the robot begins, with the former emerging victorious. However, Mecha Sonic Mk. II uses the stolen Master Emerald and its power to gain an advantage that of a Super State. Despite this, Knuckles still wins the fight. Immediately afterward, Sky Sanctuary Zone starts to crumble. Sonic will appear in the Tornado to save Knuckles, this time as Hyper Knuckles, and the Master Emerald. He will then take them back to the Floating Island, which will start rising high into the sky again.

### Knuckles ' Chaotix

Some months after the incident that caused the Floating Island to grace the surface of the ocean, an upheaval occurs in the South Sea, resulting in a mysterious island created by tectonic movement caused by the Master Emerald Pillar's energy to appear. Moreover, the island's appearance rapidly changes constantly due to the Pillar's power, transforming it from a mere rock into a green paradise.

Curious about the island's nature, Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the Master Emerald, ponders if the island has vestiges of an ancient civilization that was wiped away in an instant by a "power stone" in the distant past. Suspecting that something must be amplifying the power of the Master Emerald Pillar, and with a sense of responsibility as a guardian, Knuckles heads to the island.

Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik has already discovered the island. There, he finds a small Ring inscribed with ancient texts, from which he learns that the island was once part of a lost civilization. He later finds a larger Ring that looks like the ones on the Floating Island, which was used by the legendary civilization before it disappeared. With this, he discovers that the Ring can guide him to a "power stone", which he believes to be the Master Emerald. However, this stone has already been moved to the Floating Island by the gods. Not too long after, Robotnik learns that the mysterious space created by the special Ring's power is filled with "*Pillar*" energy that has been turned into six objects called "*Chaos Rings*". The doctor then figures out that, if he manages to find out the secrets of the special Ring, not only will he be able to discover the secrets of the Rings used by Sonic's gang, but he will also be able to summon the Master Emerald. Robotnik thus begins converting the island into a resort he dubs Newtrogic High Zone, which serves as his research fortress.

When Knuckles arrives in Newtrogic High Zone, he discovers that he is too late. Robotnik has managed to crystalize the Chaos Rings' power into artificial rings named "*Dark Rings*". The doctor has also developed a "*Ring Power*" that can generate a space-time connection between the Rings. With his ambitions being steadily realized, Robotnik proudly gloats that nothing will stop him from conquering the world.

Wasting no time, Knuckles ventures to the nearby Isolated Island, where he finds Espio the Chameleon, who is being trapped in the Combi Catcher by Dr. Robotnik. As Knuckles frees Espio, Robotnik escapes thanks to Metal Sonic, who flies away with him. Afterwards, the two heroes head towards Newtrogic High Zone in search of the doctor. Along the way, they meet Vector, Charmy, Mighty, Heavy and Bomb, who have come to the island for their own reasons and join them on their adventure. The group travels through the various locations of Newtrogic High Zone, defeating Robotnik's contraptions while hunting for the Chaos Rings.

Eventually, the heroes encounter Metal Sonic, whom they defeat. After that, Robotnik seizes a giant Dark Ring and leaves with Metal Sonic. Soon after, Knuckles and his crew face Metal Sonic Kai, which they defeat. Sonic and Tails pick the Chaoitx up, and bring them back to their desired locations.

### Sonic The Fighters

A large quantity of destructive robots suddenly appearing in places, where peace has reigned supreme thanks to Sonic's frequent actions. Tails suspects that Dr. Robotnik is behind this, but cannot figure out where all the robots are coming from. It is then that he receives an emergency message from Espio. In this message is a video showing that Robotnik is dispatching his robots from a giant orbital space fortress, the Death Egg II.

Sonic decides to travel to Death Egg II alone using the Lunar Fox, a single-seat space rocket that Tails invented. However, in order for the Lunar Fox to fly, seven Chaos Emeralds and one fake one must be inserted to act as the ship's power supply. Meanwhile, Sonic's friends, who are spread throughout the world, are guarding the Chaos Emeralds separately so that they are not misused by Robotnik, although one of them ended up being stolen by Fang.

For their first stop on their journey to get the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic and Tails head over to Knuckles. However, after hearing about what is going on, Knuckles begins provoking Sonic by stating that if the Lunar Fox is a single-seater, then only the toughest among them should go. When Sonic, who believes that he is the strongest, accepts Knuckles' challenge and gets ready to fight him, Tails forces his way in-between the two. He then proposes fighting fair and square in the ring, and the one who is victorious against all of those holding the Chaos Emeralds will ride the Lunar Fox to the Death Egg II.

Sonic, eventually makes it to the end of the tournament. Here, Robotnik appears and creates a clone of Sonic to defeat them with. However, Sonic is able to defeat his clone and head to the Death Egg II in the Lunar Fox. After arriving at the Death Egg II, the fighter gets a surprise visit from Metal Sonic. After defeating him, the Death Egg II begins to fall apart as Dr. Robotnik, in his E-Mech suit, challenges the Sonic. Using the Chaos Emeralds' power, Sonic defeats the doctor, and subsequently escapes the Death Egg II in the Lunar Fox before it explodes. However, Robotnik and Metal Sonic also escaped the explosion and head back to Mobius.

### Sonic 3D Blast

Sonic and his friends Tails and Knuckles to visit a mysterious island known as Flicky Island. According to the legend, the seven Emeralds lie dormant on this island. The first thing on the agenda for the hedgehog and his friends is to look for birds named "*Flickies*" which serve as clues to the gems' location.

At the same time, there is a spy satellite in the sky far away that scouts out Flicky Island. This satellite belongs to the evil scientist Dr. Robotnik, who has been looking for the island after hearing about the Chaos Emerald legend as well. He immediately examines the whereabouts of those jewels, and he soon finds out that he will have to use the Flickies in order to find them. He thus comes to the area to capture the birds. However, there are no trace of them anywhere, only forests and mountains that stand still as death. Suddenly however, the doctor sees a Dimension Ring appear in the distance. From it, a flock of Flickies pops out. These stay in the trees, and when they finish eating the local nuts, they go back into the Ring again. With this observation, The villain has figured out the Flickies' secret: the Flickies are coming and going through subspaces using Dimension Rings as they please. As Dr. Robotnik thinks about this to himself, he quickly completes a "*Dimension Ring Generator*". He then begins capturing the Flickies and imprisons them in Badniks one after another.

Following that event, Sonic immediately arrives. When he sees Dr. Robotnik imprisoning the Flickies in Badniks, he yells out in frustration to his nemesis. The doctor, however, merely gloats to the hedgehog that he will not be able to stop him this time, as he will conquer the world once he has all the Chaos Emeralds, before flying away in his Egg Mobile.

Making his way across Flicky Island, Sonic frees the Flickies from Robotnik's Badniks and, with Knuckles and Tails' help, travels to the Special Stages to find the Chaos Emeralds before Robotnik does. At the Panic Puppet, the villain's base, Sonic has freed all the Flickies from his nemesis' control. From there, he has a showdown with the scientist. Sonic wins, and save the Flickies' Island.

Suddenly however, the Emerald starts to shine with a blinding light that wakes the hedgehog up. In front of Sonic's eyes, the gem continues to glow stronger and more intense, until it eventually breaks down and shatters itself into five smaller pieces that fly away.

Sonic is initially stunned from what he has just seen. Then, he hears a familiar laughter from above him, which he realizes is Dr. Robotnik. He curses the doctor, but the latter dismisses him. He gloats that he had planned to zap the hedgehog with a laser beam, but he missed him and hit the Chaos Emerald instead. He then continues, saying that though he was surprised by the results, he is nonetheless going to take advantage of it by building a new stronghold on South Island called the Silver Castle, and then find the pieces of the Chaos Emerald. the scientist leaves in a good mood, confident that he has finally defeated his nemesis. After that, Knuckles, who had seen all of this, appears from behind a palm tree.

While on an adventure of theirs however, they eventually go to a town, where they find a gigantic screen on a building that is announcing a World Grand Prix, and that it is recruiting contestants for the race. Tails is interested in participating, if only to test himself against others, but Sonic is not into the idea. However, he changes his mind when he finds out that one of the contestants is Dr. Robotnik. He then rushes off to participate in the World Grand Prix, while Tails follows him.

At the same time, there is a spy satellite far above the ground that is scouting Sonic and Tails. This satellite is being used by Dr. Robotnik, who has found out that the Chaos Emeralds are hidden along the race tracks of the World Grand Prix. He proceeds to gloat that he has planned to lure the heroes to the race, so that, if they find the Emeralds, he will steal them for himself. Robotnik then turns around. From the corner of his eye, several cold silhouettes appear, their red eyes glowing eerily in the dim darkness. He then proceeds to laugh, saying that, this time, his dreams of world domination will become a reality.

Meanwhile, the World Grand Prix competitor recruitment commercials are airing worldwide. When they arrive, Sonic and Tails find out that they are not the only ones who saw the news of this event, as they find that Knuckles and Amy are participating as well.

Sonic is then convinced to come to Tails' Workshop in Mystic Ruins to see a project of his. However, when they get there, Dr. Robotnik shows up to steal the fox's Chaos Emerald. With the heroes refusing to hand the Emerald over, the doctor tries to take it by force with his Egg Hornet, but is defeated. However, he still manages to steal the Emerald from Tails. He then reveals Chaos to the heroes and gives it the Chaos Emerald, turning it into Chaos 1. Robotnik gloats that with every Chaos Emerald he gives to Chaos, the creature becomes more powerful, with his ultimate plan being to make it invincible with all seven Emeralds and then use it to destroy Station Square and build Robotnikland. After that, Robotnik and Chaos 1 retreat. Sonic and Tails thus decide to counter the doctor's plans by securing the other Chaos Emeralds to prevent the creature from transforming.

Sonic and Tails quickly find two Chaos Emeralds: one in Windy Valley and another in Casinopolis. However, after leaving the latter, Robotnik ambushes the duo and steals one of the Emeralds before knocking them out with sleeping gas. The next day, they come to. Continuing onward regardless, the duo goes to Icecap and retrieve another Chaos Emerald. However, they run into Knuckles, who believes the hedgehog has stolen some of the Master Emerald's shards. The two fight, only for Sonic to drop his Chaos Emeralds during the scuffle. The doctor then shows up and takes the Emeralds, having tricked the echidna into fighting Sonic so he could steal the Chaos Emeralds while they were occupied, and gives them to Chaos 2, transforming it into Chaos 4. Regardless, the three heroes still defeat it.

In the aftermath, Robotnik's Egg Carrier appears and picks him up, prompting Sonic and Tails to chase after the vessel in the Tornado. However, the plane gets shot down during the fight with the doctor's ship, and the hedgehog falls down to Station Square. While looking for his friend however, he runs into Amy, who asks him to protect Birdie, a bird she is looking after. Although he refuses to heed the pink hedgehog's request, they are found by E-100 ZERO. While the blue hedgehog is ready to face the robot, Amy heads into Twinkle Park in hopes to getting a date with her friend after seeing that "cute couples get in free". Sonic follows Amy into Twinkle Park, but loses track of her. Knowing she is in danger with ZERO hunting her, Sonic tries to find her. After finding no signs of her in Speed Highway, he sees her being hauled away by the robot in Station Square.

Following ZERO and Amy to Mystic Ruins, Sonic tries to save the latter, but the Egg Carrier then arrives and picks her and the robot. As he chases the vessel into the Red Mountain, it eventually escapes his reach. Fortunately, Tails shows up in the Tornado 2, and the hedgehog hitches a ride with him as they chase after the Egg Carrier together. Following an aerial battle with the Egg Carrier, the duo crash-lands on the ship. As they try to get to the bridge however, the Egg Carrier changes shape, making the duo's trek harder. Taking a detour through the Sky Deck, the two arrive as Amy is confronting Dr. Robotnik, who grabs Birdie and takes a Chaos Emerald out of the pendant it is wearing. He then calls in E-102 Gamma and orders him to get rid of the heroes before leaving. Sonic fights the robot, but Amy stops him from destroying him, insisting that he is her friend. Deciding to trust the pink hedgehog, Sonic leaves Gamma be. However, the Egg Carrier then begins to lose altitude. The blue hedgehog thus has Tails take Amy to Station Square while he goes after Robotnik.

Sonic soon finds Robotnik, only to see that he has given the two more Chaos Emeralds to Chaos, transforming it into Chaos 6. Big the Cat then shows up, with the intention of rescuing his friend Froggy from inside the creature. With his help, the hedgehog defeats Chaos 6. After the battle, Sonic meets Knuckles as the doctor leaves. Trying to catch his nemesis, he follows him off the Egg Carrier. Landing in a part of Mystic Ruins with an ancient shrine in it, he sees a floating orb heading towards it. Believing that it is trying to show him something, he ventures into the shrine, and eventually finds a mural with Perfect Chaos and Golden Fur Hedgehog depicted on it. He then finds himself taken to the past, through the eyes of Chronos, Sonic sees the Altar of Emerald on fire. Finding Chao lying on the ground and Tikal running towards the Master Emerald, he is taken back to the present. There, Sonic finds Robotnik flying towards the Final Egg. Following him into the heart of the base, the hedgehog confronts him and his Egg Viper. After defeating him, Sonic sees his nemesis retreat and reunites with Tails once again.

#### Miles 'Tails' Prower's Story

With Sonic away on his journey, Miles "Tails" Prower has devoted himself to tinkering in his workshop at the Mystic Ruins. One day, he tests a prototype of a Chaos Emerald-powered biplane he has recently created above Station Square. Though everything goes well at first, the Emerald's power soon becomes too powerful for the plane to handle, causing it to suddenly malfunction. After a short, wayward trip through the city and several close calls, the aircraft ends up crash-landing on an island in the emerald sea nearby. Fortunately, Sonic, who witnessed this event, has come in to help his friend.

When Tails and Sonic return to Station Square, the hedgehog asks his friend what had happened for him to crash like that, to which the fox replies that he has been attempting to use the Chaos Emerald to power his plane. He then convinces Sonic to go with him to his workshop in the Mystic Ruins to show him something. When they arrive however, they encounter Dr. Robotnik, who exchanges some banter with them and demands them to hand over the Emerald. As the heroes refuse to comply, the evil scientist attacks them with his Egg Hornet. In the aftermath, the doctor is defeated, but manages to snatch the gemstone from Tails with the Egg mobile's claw attachment. Soon after, he reveals Chaos to the duo and gives it the Chaos Emerald, turning it into Chaos 1. Overjoyed with seeing that the stone tablets were correct about Chaos and its relationship to the Emeralds, Robotnik reveals his plan to find the seven Chaos Emeralds and give them to the creature to destroy Station Square and build Robotnikland over its ruins. After the two villains retire, Tails and Sonic agree to look for the Emeralds before the doctor gets them first.

Tails and Sonic collect two Chaos Emeralds: one at the Windy Valley and the other one in Casinopolis. However, after exiting the latter, Robotnik ambushes them with sleeping gas, putting them to sleep and allowing the doctor to steal one of their Emeralds. The next day, the duo heads back to the Mystic Ruins to adquire another Emerald in Icecap. Soon after though, they encounter Knuckles. Due to a misunderstanding, Tails, Sonic, and the echidna fight. Robotnik, taking advantage of the situation, snatches away the Emeralds, once again giving them to Chaos, transforming it into Chaos 4. After the heroes defeat the creature, the doctor escapes to his Egg Carrier. The fox and Sonic give chase in the Tornado, but the plane gets shot down in the process. Tails lands alone in the Mystic Ruins. After a flashback to when he first met the hedgehog, he decides to do without his friend and ventures into the jungle in search for a Chaos Emerald to finish his project. He finds one here, but runs into Big the Cat's friend, Froggy, who proceeds to swallow the gem. After giving chase through the Sand Hill, Tails catches up with the frog and gets the Emerald, but is taken back in time and meets Tikal, through the eyes of Chronos. When returned to the present, the cat accidentally gives Tails a shock, causing him to lose grip of Froggy as a result.

Using the Chaos Emerald, Tails finishes his newest invention; the Tornado 2. During the flight, the fox meets up with Sonic at the peak of the Red Mountain, and the two give chase to the Egg Carrier. Despite the odds, the two manage to land on the aerial fortress. However, Robotnik immediately activates the transformed state that deactivates the monorails, forcing the heroes to go through the Sky Deck. In the aftermath, they find the doctor confronting Amy and Birdie. The scientist snatches Birdie using the Eggmobile's claw, and takes a Chaos Emerald out of its pendulum. He then calls in E-102 Gamma to get rid of the heroes. After a short battle against the robot however, Amy convinces Sonic not to destroy him, as he is her friend. With the Egg Carrier losing attitude, the blue hedgehog has the fox take the pink hedgehog to safety while he goes after Robotnik.

While the Egg Carrier falling down to the ocean, Tails and Amy make it safely to Station Square. As the two separate, the fox spots Robotnik in his Egg mobile crash-landing nearby. Devastated over the Carrier's destruction and Chaos' defeat, the furious doctor decides to launch a missile to destroy the whole city, but it turns out to be a dud. Angered, Robotnik blasts the doors of a skyscraper and goes to detonate the missile himself. Tails, realizing that the fate of the city is in his hands, gives chase. After a long endurance race through the night, the fox reaches the missile first and deactivates it. Frustrated at his failure, Robotnik deploys the Egg Walker and threatens Tails to leave before he is turned into mincemeat. All of the scared citizens run for shelter, leaving the fox to fight against his nemesis on his own. In the end, Tails wins and the citizens cheer for him as the doctor is forced to leave. While heading back to the Mystic Ruins, the fox meets up with Sonic.

#### Knuckles' Story

On a stormy night, Dr. Robotnik's Egg Carrier approaches Angel Island. There, Knuckles the Echidna is contemplating his life at the Altar of Emerald. Suddenly, however, a streak of lighting breaks the Master Emerald into smaller Emerald Shards that get scattered around the Mobius. From the gem emerges Chaos, whom the echidna believes to have shattered the Emerald. When he attempts to attack it, the creature blindsides him and escapes, as Angel Island begins to fall into the ocean, near the Mystic Ruins. Fortunately, the island is still buoyant enough to float in the water and not sink. Afterwards, Knuckles begins to travel around the world to find the missing shards of the Master Emerald.

Arriving in Station Square, Knuckles finds six shards of the Master Emerald, three in Speed Highway and the other three in Casinopolis. After leaving the latter, however, he is flashed into the past through the eyes of Chronos and isn't aware of the place he is in, but is somehow familiar to him. He overhears Tikal trying to stop her father, Pachacamac, from invading someone's 'sacred grounds', but returns to the present before getting the details. Back to the present, the red echidna spots Dr. Robotnik heading into an elevator in the nearby hotel. He notices the shine in the doctor's hand and believes it to be a piece of the Master Emerald, so he follows him. Ending up in a restaurant area, Knuckles corners the villain, who reveals that he has a Chaos Emerald instead. Wanting to use the opportunity to use his adversary as a guinea pig nevertheless, he reveals Chaos and gives it the gem, transforming it into Chaos 2. Regardless, the hero fights against the creature and defeats it. Undeterred, the doctor tells the echidna that Sonic is after the Emerald Shards as well. Knuckles demands an explanation, but his enemy declines, saying that it would 'ruin the surprise' before departing. The echidna leaves as well, deciding to go find the hedgehog.

The next day, Knuckles goes back to the Mystic Ruins and finds three more Emerald Shards at the Red Mountain. Soon after, he finds Sonic and Tails with a Chaos Emerald in the former's hands. Confusing it for a fragment of the Master Emerald, which causes him to believe that Robotnik was right, he attacks the hedgehog, ending up in a short battle that ends with in tie and Sonic dropping his Emeralds. In this moment, the doctor shows up and claims the jewels for himself, which he uses to transform Chaos into Chaos 4. Realizing his mistake, Knuckles fights the monster, defeating it in the process. As the villain retreats to his Egg Carrier, the echidna continues his quest for the Emerald Shards. He finds three more deep inside of the shrine of his race, but is sent back to the past in the eyes of Chronos during the aftermath. In that vision, he finds himself at the Altar of the Emerald, where he sees Tikal's fruitless attempt to convince Chaos and its Chao to leave the place before her father attacks it. As the vision fades, Knuckles finds himself back in front of the present day at the Altar of the Emerald. However, the Master Emerald is still incomplete. Fortunately, the gem shows an image of the Egg Carrier, which the echidna believes to be where the last three shards are. However, he has no idea where the fortress is. As he walks across the bridge, he spots E-102 Gamma heading to the Final Egg. He follows the robot to the fortress, leading him to the ship, which takes off. There, he finds the last shards, but ends up getting sent to the past yet again through the eyes of Chronos, this time with the Altar of the Emerald under a thick flame. He walks over to Tikal and attempts to find out what is going on, but when Tikal rushes to the Emerald, he is sent back to the Egg Carrier. Knuckles spots Robotnik and Chaos and rushes towards them. The doctor retreats, with Sonic on his heels, leaves Chaos, who is now Chaos 6, standing in the echidna's way. After a long battle, the creature relinquishes the Chaos Emeralds and retreats. Meanwhile, the Egg Carrier loses attitude and begins exploding. Taking the six gems with him, Knuckles flies back to Angel Island.

Back at Angel Island, Knuckles had restored the Master Emerald to its normal state, allowing the giant gem to hoist the island back into the heavens. The echidna is once again at peace.

#### Amy Rose's Story

Having take up residence in Station Square, Amy Rose is bringing groceries home as she thinks back on how bored she is of her mundane life in the city and misses the old days, where she would go on adventures with Sonic and facing different bad guys. However, with her friend now gone, all she can do is shop until she drops. Suddenly, however, she sees to her shock that the city is shadowed by Dr. Robotnik's Egg Carrier. As the pink hedgehog suspects that the doctor is back, she is hit in her head by a small bird falling down from the giant vessel. Just as Amy takes notice of the bird, she spots E-100 ZERO, one of the villain's robots, land nearby. After picking the bird up, the pink hedgehog notices that the robot is chasing her and runs away with the bird in her hands. Fortunately, she manages to lose the machine by hiding in the nearby Burger Shop. After her new foe has left, she deduces that this 'Birdie' has escaped from Robotnik, who is now hunting him. Amy thus promises to protect Birdie and stay by his side by all costs.

Afterwards, Amy finds Sonic in the Casino Area. Surprising him upon approaching, she asks her friend to take care of Birdie for a while, but he refuses and runs away, only to be followed by her anyway. Once the pink hedgehog and the bird catch up to Sonic near the Twinkle Park, however, ZERO shows up again. While the blue hedgehog prepares to fight the villainous robot, Amy notices the park's free entry for cute couples and goes in, expecting her friend to follow her, which he reluctantly does. Inside the area, she and Birdie have to run away from ZERO, who is hunting them. Once they assume they have lost it and Sonic, however, the robot ambushes them and takes them to the Mystic Ruins, with the blue hedgehog following ZERO. Unfortunately though, he is unable to save his friends.

Now finding herself trapped in the Egg Carrier's Prison Hall with Birdie, Amy attempts to comfort him as E-102 Gamma, another one of Dr. Robotnik's robots, arrives to their prison cell to demand the bird, but the pink hedgehog repeatedly refuses. This prompts the robot to ask her for her motivation for not complying, and she retorts by asking him why he wants Birdie. When Gamma does not provide a clear answer, she instead tries asking him to help them out. However, he deems it illogical that she has feelings for something she knows nothing about. This makes Amy pity Gamma for not knowing about love. Suddenly, Birdie flies up in front of the robot, triggering something in the latter, who tells them to escape as he unlocks the hedgehog's cell. As a confused Amy leaves her cell, Gamma tells her that they are in danger as they are approaching the Mystic Ruins base. Seeing that the robot has a good side to him, she offers him her friendship before departing with Birdie.

After escaping the Prison Hall by beating Dr. Robotnik's high score in a Hedgehog Hammer game, Amy and Birdie make their way through the Hot Shelter whilst avoiding getting caught by ZERO, who is hot on their small trail again. Once they successfully escape though, the pink hedgehog is taken to the past by Tikal's spirit, where she sees through the eyes of Chronos, Amy witnesses a female echidna at the Altar of Emerald meeting a Chao. Once Amy regains her senses, she finds herself at the Egg Carrier's Pool, where she and Birdie continue their escape. After going outside, however, Dr. Robotnik appears in the Egg mobile and corners the two. Immediately after, the pink hedgehog spots Sonic and Tails and begs them to save her. Meanwhile, the doctor snatches the bird from her hands and takes a Chaos Emerald from his pendant, which the heroes are all surprised to see. Having no use for Birdie anymore, Robotnik dispatches Gamma and orders him to dispose of the group. Following a brief fight between the robot and the blue hedgehog, the latter is about to finish off his rival. However, Amy stands in his way, pleading for him not to destroy Gamma as he is her friend. Ultimately, her friend complies to her request and lets him be. In the aftermath, Tails notices that the Egg Carrier is losing attitude, prompting Sonic to have him take Amy and Birdie to safety while he goes fight Dr. Robotnik. The pink hedgehog bids farewell to Gamma, telling him that they will see each other again, before departing with the fox.

A while later, Amy, Birdie and Tails land in Station Square, where the former two part ways with the latter. Afterwards, the pink hedgehog's thoughts drift back to Sonic and how he always seems to rescue her, which makes her wish that she was more independent. As she talks with the bird about how he surprised her by having a Chaos Emerald on him, she notices a picture of his parents inside his pendant. Concluding that Dr. Robotnik is holding them captive too, she decides to help her little friend find them. Following a clue she got from Gamma, Amy decides to check out the doctor's base in the Mystic Ruins. Upon arrival, however, they are ambushed by ZERO once again, prompting them to escape. Having no success in finding Birdie's family there, the heroes decide to return to the Egg Carrier, which is now harmlessly floating in the sea. There, the bird finds his parents and is about to leave with them. However, ZERO knocks him out with its telescopic fist. Upon noticing the perpetrator of the attack, an enraged Amy unleashes her anger on the robot, which she ultimately destroys after a battle. In the aftermath, she turns her attention to Birdie, who fortunately recovers and begins flying around after some trouble. The bird and his family subsequently turn to the pink hedgehog as their way of saying thanks, and she tells them to go live in peace. After the birds have then flown away, Amy takes her leave, determined to make Sonic respect her and make him hers.

#### E-102 Gamma's Story

Coming online at the Final Egg, E-102 Gamma, the second robot in the E-100 Series, is met by his creator Dr. Robotnik, who orders his robot to obey him and only him from now on. Next, the doctor makes Gamma go to the shooting range at the Final Egg, just like his "big brother", E-101 Beta. Complying to Robotnik's orders, Gamma passes his test and is commended by his creator for his efforts despite not believing that he had what it took. The villain then tells E-102 that his newest air fortress, the Egg Carrier, needs a solid crew, and as such summons Beta to have the two machines battle each other to see who gets to stay onboard. Following a short duel, Gamma is able to defeat his "older brother", despite Robotnik placing his bets on E-101. Pleasantly surprised by E-102's victory, the doctor acknowledges that he had seen his potential and thus permits him to serve onboard his airship. However, when Beta shows interest in coming along as well, the villain gives him special permission too, noting that they can always use a 'spare set of parts'. In the end, the Egg Carrier takes off.

A moment later, Robotnik announces to Gamma and his 'brothers', E-103 Delta, E-104 Epsilon, and E-105 Zeta, to find and capture Froggy, a frog with the unique feat of possessing a tail. The doctor explains that the amphibian is vital for his plans and thus orders his robot crew to go out and find him. Gamma tracks Froggy to the Emerald Coast, where he snatches the frog out of Big the Cat's hands and leaves. However, it is suddenly taken back to the past and views the events trough the eyes of Chronos. Gamma is unable to recognize this location, he meets the female echidna, who shows him about Chaos and its Chao, and about how her father plans to take the Altar of the Emerald for himself. Immediately after though, Gamma is sent back to the Egg Carrier with Froggy in hand.

Soon after, Gamma and his comrades argue over whose frog is the correct one, but stop when Dr. Robotnik walks in. As he sees that his minions have failed their mission, the irritated doctor scolds them for their incompetence, telling them that the frog he wants has a Chaos Emerald. However, when he notices that Gamma is carrying Froggy, he does not take long to praise Gamma for his success. The rest of the E-100 Series robots are soon after teleported away and discarded, and Robotnik gives E-102 a new mission: to go to the Prison Hall and bring him Birdie, a bird that is incarcerated with Amy. However, the robot accidentally gets into the wrong room, where he spots Beta undergoing a terrifying remodelation process, leaving a mark in the silent, but shocked Gamma. Returning to his assignment, he enters the Prison Hall, where Amy tells him to go away from her cell. The robot demands Birdie from her, but she repeatedly refuses to hand him over. Gamma questions why, but instead, the pink hedgehog asks why he wants him, to which he replies he has no data on it. Seeing that he does not know it himself, Amy believes that E-102 will hurt Birdie and tries asking him to help them out instead. As she pleas to his sense of sympathy, he wonders why she would save something useless to her, prompting the hedgehog to pity him for his lack of emotions. Suddenly, however, Birdie flies up to Gamma and looks at him. As something triggers in the robot, he tells Amy to get going as he releases her from her cell, she is in danger as they are approaching the Mystic Ruins base. Having seen that E-102 is good side and not like Robotnik's other robots, she offers him her friendship and best wishes before taking her leave with Birdie.

Returning to the Egg Carrier Hall, Gamma is instructed to pick up an upgrade by Robotnik over the P.A. before being ordered to come to the Rear Deck. Upon arriving there, the robot offers his services to the doctor, who orders him to eradicate Sonic, Tails and Amy, who have gathered on there. After the villain has left, E-102 engages the blue hedgehog in a hostile fight. Just as Gamma is about to lose to Sonic, however, Amy interferes, asking the latter to leave E-102 alone because he is her friend. Soon after though, the Egg Carrier begins to lose attitude. Sonic thus has Tails take Amy to safety while he heads out to defeat Robotnik. As the blue hedgehog races off, the pink hedgehog thanks him for his heroic rescue before turning her concerns to Gamma, whom she asks to leave the doctor and come with them. E-102 wonders why she is helping him, to which she explains that they are friends and that even Birdie wants the best for him by wanting him to abandon the villain. At Tails' subsequent insistence, Amy leaves and is lifted off the Egg Carrier by the fox while bidding Gamma farewell, who proceeds to fly off the Egg Carrier, just as it crashes.

As Gamma arrives at the Mystic Ruins' Station Area, he has gotten a new look in life. Now recognizing Dr. Robotnik as an enemy and his fellow E-100 Series robots as allies, the robot deletes the doctor's Master registration and embarks on a quest to find his 'brothers' to 'save' them. Having detected Delta at the nearby Windy Valley, E-102 'rescues' him by destroying him and liberating the Animal inside of him. Next, he tracks Epsilon to the Red Mountain, where he destroys him and frees the Animal inside. In the aftermath, however, Gamma realizes that he does not know where Zeta and Beta are. Deducing they are on the Egg Carrier, which is now harmlessly floating in the sea, the robot takes a raft and goes to the crashed vessel. There, Gamma makes his way through the Hot Shelter and destroys a remodeled Zeta. Later, he reviews the remaining E-100 Series units he has to save: Beta and himself. Soon after, he spots E-101, who has now been turned into E-101 Beta Mk. II, and goes after him. Following a mighty battle, E-102 manages to defeat his older 'brother'. However, before exploding, Beta deals a finishing blow to Gamma, who is heavily damaged by the attack and attempts to walk away. Meanwhile, a cream-colored bird is freed from the remains of E-101 and flies up to look at Gamma, who succumbs to his damage. As an image of Birdie's family, which includes the cream-colored bird and a pink one, then flashes before his eye, E-102 collapses and blows up, releasing the pink bird that had been powering him. This bird then joins up with the cream-colored one to find Birdie.

#### Big The Cat's Story

Big the Cat is sleeping on his bed when Froggy, his best friend, awakens and spots Chaos. Froggy bites off Chaos' tail, causing him to grow his own tail. Big wakes up and is worried about Froggy, who is driven insane by the possession. Froggy devours a Chaos Emerald, which Big calls his lucky charm, and runs away, leaving a worried Big following behind. When the sun rises, Big finds himself in Station Square, where he sees the crazed Froggy going into the sewers. He hoists a black car, and follows Froggy to Twinkle Park. Big manages to fish Froggy out, but the crazed amphibian retreats. Big soon finds a key to Icecap, grabs a Life Belt and heads into the icy area. He fishes Froggy out, but the frog, yet again due to his insanity, takes off.

Big heads towards the Emerald Coast and finds Froggy on one part of the Great Sea. After fishing him out, Big turns to go home, but E-102 Gamma grabs the crazed frog from Big and heads off somewhere, with the worried feline pleading behind it. Big boards the Egg Carrier, and tries to pick up Froggy's scent, but fails, so he decides to find him in the Hot Shelter. He realizes that to get Froggy out, he must activate the switch. After doing this and fishing Froggy out for the last time, Big turns to exit, but is transported to the past. He encounters Tikal for the first time through the eyes of Chronos, before returning to his normal time. He gets out of the Attendance room and heads out, but spots Chaos and freezes in horror at the sight of him. Dr. Robotnik arrives and gives Chaos the Emeralds, causing him to enlarge again. Froggy then hops into Chaos' body, restoring the beast's tail. Sonic arrives and realizes Chaos has gotten bigger, then Big carefully fishes Froggy out of Chaos' body and escapes under the hedgehog's orders. Suddenly, the Egg Carrier is about to lose altitude, but Big spots the Tornado 2 and flies it to the jungle moments after the flying fortress self-destructs and crashes into the Great Sea. Big and Froggy are now home and enjoying peace again. Froggy is no longer insane, and Big is celebrating.

#### Super Sonic's Story

It is revealed that Chaos has survived. Dr. Robotnik mutters about his hatred of Sonic, knowing that he cannot spoil his master plan. He stops and spots Chaos, who mauls him. Angel Island has fallen again. Knuckles knows this as well. He decides to take the Chaos Emeralds to Sonic for his advice, but spots Robotnik lying on the ground. Robotnik's mutter in pain "This is terrible!! C-Chaos is..." Knuckles asks "Is what?", but is interrupted when Chaos appears and attacks them both, stealing the Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic is relaxing by a tree, when Tails tells him that Angel Island has fallen. When they get there, they spot Knuckles and Robotnik in critical condition. Knuckles tells Sonic and Tails that Chaos has survived and has stolen the Chaos Emeralds. Robotnik heads off on his Egg mobile and searches the jungle for a replacement fortress. Knuckles tells Sonic about Chaos' ferocity and states that if he gets the last Chaos Emerald, death will come to us all. Sonic knows that he'll find it before the renegade does, but is sent to the past for the last time, in the eyes of Chronos. This time he spots the Altar under attack from the Knuckles Clan, who knock Tikal to the ground and injure many Chao after Pachacamac disregards his daughter's pleas once again. This enrages Chaos, who devours the Chaos Emeralds and goes berserk. Sonic heads over to Tikal and asks if she is okay. Tikal realizes Chaos is wreaking havoc and seals him and herself within the Master Emerald for all eternity in order to stop him before it is too late. Sonic also watches as a Golden Hedgehog flies into battle, he can't help, but think that this Golden Hedgehog resembles a Cyan Hedgehog, he met a while back.

Sonic returns to the present day, Tails says that they have to get the last emerald before Chaos does. They head over to Big's hut and spot the Tornado 2. They are about to get the emerald, but Chaos devours it and goes on a rampage in Station Square, flooding the city. Sonic, who now realizes how vicious Chaos really is, spots the Egg Carrier 2 from the corner of his eye and realizes that Robotnik is after the renegade Chaos. Robotnik attempts to engage in combat by opening fire, but the effort fails, and Chaos demolishes the fortress to ruin with a massive beam of energy, sending Robotnik flying away while screaming. Sonic is getting aggravated with Chaos' ferocity, but Tikal arrives. Sonic realizes Tikal sealed Chaos in the Master Emerald. She states that her heart's been always with the Master Emerald as well as Chaos', but he is full of rage and tragedy. If he is not stopped, he will bring destruction to Mobius like he did centuries ago. Chaos then discards the now powerless Chaos Emeralds; and Tikal demands that Chaos be resealed in the Master Emerald; but Sonic refuses, telling her that doing so will not change how Chaos feels. His heart will still remain in turmoil and his anger will not vanish; he'll just be trapped forever, and history will just repeat itself as it did before. Sonic's allies then gather the Chaos Emeralds and Tails states to Sonic that Chaos has absorbed the Emeralds' negative power, and that Sonic should be able to harness their positive power, to which Knuckles reluctantly agrees with. Using the positive energy of his friends and the citizens of Station Square as they cheer while Tails explains that both negative and positive emotions empower the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic transforms into Super Sonic. He then flies off to engage the gargantuan deity in battle.

After its defeat, Chaos is reverted to his Chaos 0 form, as his anger and rage has faded. He spots several Chao, and knows of their peacefulness. Tikal arrives and tells Chaos that the Chao have been living peacefully with mankind for a long time and will continue to do so. With the fighting over and harmony restored, Tikal and Chaos ascend into the sky and disappear in a flash of white. Seconds after, Robotnik flies away. Peace is back once more, and Sonic runs off in search of more adventures.

### Sonic Shuffle

Maginary world is a world set in an Microverse within Mobius Prime, where dreams and reality co-exist with each other. This world is maintained by the Precioustone, a gemstone formed from the hopes and dreams of people from other dimensions. However, the Precioustone has been shattered into various smaller Precioustones by a monster known as Void, which puts Maginary world at risk of being erased from existence. In order to save this dimension, Lumina Flowlight, the Guardian Fairy, sends a message to various worlds to find a hero who is strong and brave enough to restore Maginary world.

This message is eventually received by Sonic. He, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles are soon after transported to the Temple of Light, the former resting place of the Precioustone, in Maginary world. Lumina then shows up and introduces herself. She explains why they were brought here and what has happened to the Precioustone. She also explains that the protector of the gem, Illumina, the Goddess of Dreams, lost her powers and vanished into a faraway world when Void shattered the Precioustone. Learning of Lumina's plight and the doom awaiting Maginary world, Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles agree to help her save Maginary world and stop Void. The five then set up to gather the smaller Precioustones, which have been scattered to the far corners of Maginary world. However, they are unaware that Dr. Eggman, who has learned of the Precioustone, has followed Sonic and his friends into Maginary world.

Receiving a deck of Magical Cards and Forcejewels from Lumina, Sonic and his gang start their adventure in Emerald Coast. However, this place is being victim of Void's dark powers, causing it to slowly turn into a cold, icy world. After finding the smaller Precioustones, the heroes have a dream where they meet a confused Void, who is being confronted by Lumina. Returning to reality, the heroes find themselves in a restored Emerald Coast. Continuing onward, the group arrives in Fire Bird, a world of freedom, which has been contained in a wingless plane, causing it to lose speed and attitude. After collecting the smaller Precioustones from there, they have another brief dream, where they confront Void. After that, the Fire Bird is restored. Sonic and his team continue afterward to Nature Zone. Due to Void's doings however, this world is slowly being destroyed. After finding the smaller Precioustones in this world, Sonic and his friends have another dream, where they meet Illumina, who says that she dreams of making Maginary world a beautiful world of light. Their dream then moves into a vision of Lumina confronting a confused Void once again. After that, Sonic's group wakes up and they see Nature Zone regenerating itself. The group proceeds then to Riot Train. However, Void's powers have caused the world's train to be thrown on a crash-course. After then meeting Void again in yet another dream upon finding the smaller Precioustones, Sonic's team stops the train before it can crash.

Lastly, Lumina and Sonic's gang go to Fourth Dimension Space, where the last smaller Precioustones are. After getting them however, they spot Void heading towards the Temple of Light, where the re-assembled Precioustone is. When the heroes get there, Lumina tries to confront Void about his actions, although the latter states that he only wants friends and to be whole, which is why he tried to get the Precioustone. Beginning to question his existence, Void's sadness reaches its peak, causing him to turn into a gigantic monster.

After a heated battle, Sonic and his friends defeat Void, who is turned into a dark gem. However, a sad Lumina sees that light has not returned to the Precioustone. Just as she loses hope about dreams and Maginary world's future though, Sonic picks up Void's gem. From it, Void asks Lumina why she hates him if they both are the same. Having deduced that Void represents anger, sadness, despair, and emptiness, which are emotions that make dreams even stronger, Sonic and his friends tell Lumina that Void is one of the reasons why dreams exist. Understanding that Void's presence is a necessity and does not destroy dreams, Lumina picks herself up. Thanking Sonic and his friends for helping her see the light amidst her dark emotions, Lumina introduces Void's gem to the Precioustone, thus restoring Void. Lumina and Void then join together and, in a spark of light, Illumina emerges. She thanks Sonic, Amy, Tails and Knuckles for saving Maginary world, and explains that she originally split into Lumina and Void when she lost sight of her own dreams. As Illumina reveals that she has learned that emptiness does not conquer dreams, but rather the opposite, Sonic, Amy, Tails and Knuckles leave Maginary world for new adventures.

### Sonic Adventure 2

#### Hero Story

A G.U.N. helicopter is flying over the city, with Sonic the Hedgehog captive inside. Suddenly, Sonic manages to break free and jumps out of the helicopter, using a torn-off piece of the wing as a snowboard, and rushes through the city desperately trying to lose his pursuers. He defeats the F-6t Big Foot mech, but soon runs into a black hedgehog named Shadow the Hedgehog, who shares his speed and has stolen the green Chaos Emerald from the national reserve bank. Realizing G.U.N have mistaken him for Shadow, Sonic attempts to attack, but Shadow uses Chaos Control to warp away as Sonic is re-captured.

Meanwhile, in the desert, Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat are fighting for possession of the Master Emerald. Suddenly, Dr. Eggman drops in and grabs the Master Emerald using a claw, forcing Knuckles to jump up and punch the Emerald, shattering it into pieces. Rouge is furious, saying that all the world's gems belong to her and now neither of them have it, but Knuckles explains that he can simply find all of the pieces and repair it. The two split as Eggman flies off to his base, and Knuckles finds some shards in a canyon nearby.

The next day, Miles "Tails" Prower is flying to Prison Island in the Cyclone to try and save Sonic, when he sees Eggman forcing Amy Rose to the edge of an aircraft carrier at gunpoint, prompting Tails to drop down and engage the plane's mech mode. They fight, and it ends in a stalemate. Eggman decides to let Tails and Amy go this time before he leaves. The two infiltrate the prison, and eventually find Sonic in a cell. Breaking him free, the hedgehog escapes from the harbor and into the jungle. Sonic runs into Shadow again, and they fight before Shadow receives a transmission from Eggman revealing that the time bombs are set to go off soon. Panicking, Sonic rushes through the forest and finds his friends, and they escape in the Cyclone as Prison Island blows up. Meanwhile, Knuckles explores a haunted mountain and finds more shards of the Master Emerald.

As soon as they return to the city, Eggman starts a live broadcast. He proclaims that he is now the ruler of the planet and demonstrates his new power aboard a previously abandoned space colony known as the ARK. Using a massive laser cannon installed on it, he blows up half of the moon and gives everyone one day to accept him as his ruler, lest they want the cannon fired at Mobius. The heroes are furious with the doctor's plan, but wonder how he could harness such power. Sonic realizes that the Chaos Emeralds must be involved somehow, before Tails takes out the yellow Emerald. He explains that the Chaos Emeralds are attracted to each other, similar to a magnetic force, and using this he can figure out where Eggman is hiding. G.U.N track them down and order the three to surrender, prompting Sonic to hold them off as Tails and Amy get to safety in the Cyclone. Back with Knuckles, he explores a flooded mine and obtains more Emerald shards.

Tails and Amy hide in a safe area and call Sonic on a walkie-talkie. Tails says that he cannot get a signal on the Emeralds, meaning that Eggman's base is in outer space. Knuckles promptly meets up with them after climbing out of a manhole, saying he got lost in the mines. As Amy pulls him out, Tails manages to track the president's limo by hacking into the US government's computer and finding a call the president had with Eggman. The plan is to trace the limo and the call to find out, where Eggman is. On the highway, the president is being driven through the city in a limo while in a call with Eggman. The doctor explains that he wants the president to surrender at his desert base within one day and not try to retaliate, or he will fire the Eclipse Cannon at the United Federation. Suddenly, Sonic and Tails jump into the limo from the sunroof and assure both the president and Eggman that they will intervene. Tails mans the computer and finds that Eggman's transmission is coming from the ARK. They proceed to follow the limo in the Cyclone and eventually reach Eggman's base.

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy head for Dr. Eggman's secret base inside a pyramid. Tails blasts through the outer defenses in the Cyclone and Sonic goes through the catacombs to find the launch pad, albeit locked. Knuckles searches the area to find the key, and despite being attacked by King Boom Boo, the king of ghosts, he manages to defeat it and assemble the key. Eggman reveals himself to the heroes and vows to kill them and take the Chaos Emerald to unlock the Canon's true power. Revealing a newly repaired Egg Golem, Eggman orders it to attack, but Sonic defeats it easily. He then races to join his friends aboard a rocket as it takes off for outer space.

They reach the ARK, but the rocket slams into a giant asteroid, damaging it. The Master Emerald shards drift out into space and Knuckles angrily orders the heroes to stop the rocket and let him out so he can get them back. He and Sonic get into a fight over the rocket's controls, causing it to spin out of control. Knuckles promptly bails as Tails manages to make a safe landing. Sonic is angry at Knuckles for doing that as Tails researches the ARK's history. The ARK was the most advanced research center on Mobius, but shut down 50 years ago due to a horrible accident. He finds that the Eclipse Cannon is impenetrable on the outside, before taking out a convincing replica of the yellow Chaos Emerald he made that has the same properties as the real Emerald, but is weaker.

The plan is to insert the fake emerald into the console with the other Chaos Emeralds, causing the energy invert and blow up the canon. Tails blasts through the ARK and finds the power generator, which he destroys, and Sonic reaches the console for the Eclipse Cannon, but before he can insert the fake Emerald, Eggman approaches Tails, having captured Amy, and demands Sonic meet him in the research facility. Outside, Knuckles and Rouge fight over the shards, but during the battle Rouge slips and falls off the tower they were fighting on. Knuckles catches her before she can hit the lava below, but despite him having just saved her from a painful death, Rouge angrily tells Knuckles to get off her. She jokingly guesses that he only saved her just so he could take her hand, and calls him a creep. Knuckles is angry at her, saying that the situation is not a joke, and that he wasn't saving her, but the shards of the Master Emerald she is carrying. Regardless, Rouge gives him the shards, saying they stink of echidna. Knuckles says that if she thought that in the first place, they should not have fought. The Master Emerald is restored once again, and Knuckles apologizes to it for what he did before leaving to return it to its rightful place.

Sonic reaches the research facility, where Eggman threatens to kill Amy if he does not give him the Chaos Emerald. Sonic attempts to trick Eggman by handing over the fake Chaos Emerald, but Eggman suddenly springs a trap, locking the hedgehog inside an escape pod set to hurtle down to Mobius and blow up. Before Eggman pushes the button, he tricks Tails into confirming the Emerald was fake, as he'd suspected, and Sonic encourages Tails to take care of Eggman and tells Amy to take care of herself. As the pod hurtles into space, Sonic remembers Shadow's technique and that the Emerald has the same properties as the real one, albeit slightly weaker, and gets an idea. Back on the ARK, everyone present sees the escape pod explode, and Tails and Amy are in dismay, believing Sonic is dead. Eggman then demands Tails hand over the real Emerald, promising to release both him and Amy in return, but the fox remembers Sonic's last words and vows not to let him down. The two fight again, but despite Tails' efforts, Eggman escapes with the last Chaos Emerald.

Meanwhile, as Knuckles tries to find the exit, he feels a strange energy before being blinded by a bright flash. Sonic appears, having used the fake Emerald to perform Chaos Control and escape the pod before it blew up. He asks Knuckles to go save Tails and Amy, while he rushes to slam the fake Emerald into the barrel of the Eclipse Cannon in a final attempt to destroy it. Encountering Shadow along the way, both hedgehogs fight in a climactic showdown, which ends in a tie, and Sonic slams the Chaos Emerald into the Eclipse Cannon as it charges up, telling Tails and Amy via walkie-talkie to look out the window to see him standing atop the exploding cannon, giving a thumbs up.

#### Dark Story

Dr. Eggman breaks into Prison Island and begins storming through the base. He is searching for a top-secret military weapon that his grandfather Gerald Robotnik created. However, the military had shut it down as they feared its power. He eventually finds it encased in a stasis capsule, and unlocks it by entering the password 'MARIA' and inserting the gray Chaos Emerald into a console. The capsule unlocks, revealing a jet black and red hedgehog. Eggman initially mistakes him for his arch nemesis Sonic the Hedgehog, but realizes that he is different. The hedgehog introduces himself as Shadow, he thanks Eggman for freeing him, and tells him that, in return, he will grant him one wish before easily defeating the B-3x Hot Shot mech sent to capture them both. Eggman is astounded by the feat, and asks about the wish, but Shadow simply tells Eggman to gather more Chaos Emeralds and meet him in the control room on the Space Colony ARK.

Meanwhile, in the desert, Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat are fighting for over the possession of the Master Emerald. Suddenly, Eggman drops in and grabs the Emerald using a claw, forcing Knuckles to jump up and punch the Emerald, shattering it into pieces. Rouge is furious, saying that all the world's gems belong to her, but Knuckles explains that he can simply find all of the pieces and repair it. The two split as Eggman flies off to his base, and Rouge searches a nearby lagoon for some shards, vowing revenge on both Eggman and Knuckles.

Eggman reaches his desert base and clears out the patrolling G.U.N forces before going inside. Reaching his computer, he turns it on and finds a news broadcast. It turns out that Shadow has broken into the national reserve bank and stolen the green Chaos Emerald, but the authorities believe Sonic to be responsible. As Shadow watches from the top of a bridge, he suddenly has a flashback of the past. He sees himself and Maria Robotnik, Gerald's granddaughter, fleeing through the ARK from G.U.N. Maria is shot, but before she dies she seals Shadow inside an escape pod and begs him to share a promise. Shadow remembers this as a promise for revenge, and flees across the highway while breaking through G.U.N's forces. He then runs into Sonic, who is also trying to evade military capture, and the blue hedgehog angrily realizes what is happening. He attacks, but Shadow uses Chaos Control to warp away, and introduces himself as the world's ultimate lifeform before vanishing. Sonic is left to be captured by G.U.N.

Back in the desert, Rouge finds Eggman's base and manages to break inside, reaching the computer room. She sees a teleporter to the ARK and wonders what he would be doing there, but regardless she continues trying to work out what he is up to. Up on the ARK, Eggman searches the abandoned research station and finds the main control room, where Shadow is waiting. He explains that the ARK is the first ever space colony, and it was built by Gerald Robotnik, Eggman's grandfather and one of the smartest men who ever lived. However, what people do not know is that the ARK also was the birthplace of many lethal weapons such as himself.

He reveals one, the Eclipse Cannon, a laser canon built into the ARK that is capable of destroying entire planets. However, the canon has been shut off for so long that it has run out of energy, and so they need all seven Chaos Emeralds to recharge it. As Shadow plugs the Emerald he took from the bank into the console, he then makes Eggman a deal: if he helps Shadow re-activate the canon, the doctor can keep it and use it however he likes, telling him that the whole Mobius could be his. Eggman laughs, as he can secure himself a legacy, but Rouge drops down from the ceiling, saying it will not be that easy. Remembering the tracking system he used to find the Master Emerald, she offers to help if she can keep it. When Eggman asks what is in it for him, Rouge explains that she is a treasure hunter that specializes in jewels and could help track down the other Emeralds. Eggman accepts, and Rouge gives him the blue Chaos Emerald.

The trio first go to Prison Island, where the purple, red, and turquoise Chaos Emeralds are apparently kept, according to Rouge's intel. They form a plan: Eggman causes a distraction by attacking the military forces, while Rouge enters the vault to get the Emeralds and Shadow places time bombs around the island. Having only 30 minutes and one chance to pull it off, they split up. However, as they run out into the landing zone, Amy runs up to Shadow and hugs him, mistaking him for Sonic. She immediately realizes her mistake and panics. Eggman tells Shadow and Rouge to go and continue the plan as he can take of Amy. However, at this moment, Tails is flying past in the Cyclone and sees everything. He drops down onto the runway and engages his mech mode, determined to protect her. They fight, and it ends in a stalemate. Eggman decides to let Tails go and runs off to cause a distraction for Shadow and Rouge.

Shadow sets the bombs for 15 minutes as Rouge manages to unlock the vault, only to be attacked by the R-1/A Flying Dog mech. She defeats it and retrieves the Emeralds, but becomes trapped inside the vault with only 10 minutes left until the bombs detonate. Shadow considers leaving her to die, but decides to save her as it would mean his plan would be ruined. He rushes through the rainforest only to run into Sonic again, who has broken free and wants revenge. They fight, but it is interrupted by a transmission from Eggman, warning him to get off Prison Island before the bombs detonate. Sonic overhears this and runs off to warn his friends while Shadow manages to reach and break open the vault, free Rouge and use Chaos Control to take them both to safety with only five seconds to spare.

Back on the ARK, Shadow remembers a conversation between himself and Maria about what it is like on Mobius, before Rouge snaps him out of it. She is surprised that Shadow saved her, but he denies this, saying he was saving the Chaos Emeralds. As Eggman joins them, he announces that they are ready. Rouge asks if he is sure, as they still need the yellow Chaos Emerald, but Shadow explains that it is enough to demonstrate the Eclipse cannon's power to the world. Eggman broadcasts an announcement that he is set to rule the world, and demonstrates why resistance is futile by using the Eclipse Cannon to blow up half of the moon.

Eggman then gives the people one day to accept their new ruler, or he will fire the cannon at Mobius. Rouge is happy with the success of the presentation, but Shadow says that they have not won yet, the cannon will take far too long to recharge, and they need the final Chaos Emerald. Eggman angrily asks Rouge, where the last Emerald is, and Rouge responds by showing Eggman a newspaper. It says that Tails was given it as a reward for saving Station Square from a missile attack. Eggman and Shadow leave to get it from the fox as Rouge stays for a bit to relay information to the government as she is unable to determine if Shadow is the true ultimate lifeform, but her research will continue.

Rouge goes to Mobius and tracks Tails in her car, finding both him and Sonic tailing the president in the Cyclone to find Eggman's desert base. She alerts Shadow, who races through the mountains to try and stop them but ultimately fails. He asks Eggman on what to do, but the doctor replies he is tracking them using radar and he will be ready for them. In his base, Eggman summons his newly repaired Egg Golem to attack but Sonic manages to damage the restraining mechanism, causing it to turn on Eggman.

The doctor destroys the machine as the heroes manage to hijack a rocket and set off into outer space. With only two hours and eleven minutes until the Eclipse Cannon is due to fire, Eggman alerts Rouge. She promises to stop them before asking for the colony's password. Upon getting it, she chuckles at how easily she tricked him before entering "MARIA" into the console and rebooting the system. She finds files on Project Shadow, revealing that Shadow was created as the ultimate lifeform, but suddenly the computer detects energy from the Master Emerald shards that Knuckles gathered. It turns out that the heroes' rocket hit an asteroid, causing the shards to drift out into space.

Outside, Knuckles and Rouge fight over the shards, but during the battle Rouge slips and falls off the tower they were fighting on. Knuckles catches her before she can hit the lava below, but despite him having just saved her from a painful death, Rouge angrily tells Knuckles to get off her. She jokingly guesses that he only saved her just so he could take her hand, and calls him a creep. Knuckles is angry at her, saying that the situation is not a joke, but regardless Rouge gives him the shards, saying they stink of echidna. Knuckles says that if she thought that in the first place, they should not have fought.

The Master Emerald is restored once again, and Knuckles apologizes to it for what he did before leaving to return it to the desert shrine. Back on Mobius, Shadow and Eggman are in the computer room in the pyramid. Eggman beams himself up to the ARK, telling Shadow to stay in the computer room and finish the job if he is defeated. He promptly makes his way through the space colony and captures Amy. He then tells Sonic and Tails to meet him in the research center. The two find him, and Eggman threatens to kill Amy if they do not give him the final Chaos emerald. Sonic hands over the fake Chaos Emerald, before Eggman suddenly springs a trap, locking Sonic inside an escape pod set to hurtle down to Mobius and kill him.

Before Eggman pushes the button, Sonic encourages Tails to stop Eggman and tells Amy to take care of herself. The escape pod hurtles outside the ARK and explodes, leaving Tails and Amy in dismay as they both believe Sonic is dead. Eggman then turns to defeat Tails, but the fox remembers Sonic's last words and vows not to let him down. The two fight again, and despite Tails' efforts Eggman escapes with all seven Chaos Emeralds. With 21 minutes until the cannon fires, Shadow watches the escape pod explode from the ARK and decides that Sonic was just a normal hedgehog after all. He goes to the control room, but to his absolute shock he realizes that Rouge has betrayed them, and she is actually a spy for the government. Rouge explains that she figured her part of the deal was fulfilled, so she decided to take the Chaos Emeralds and leave. Shadow calls her pathetic, before Rouge takes out a printed document about Project Shadow; the picture on the document shows an entirely different being as the ultimate lifeform. Rouge then wonders who or what is Shadow supposed to be if the picture shows the real ultimate lifeform.

The two receive a call from Eggman, who has the final Chaos Emerald. He tells them that someone is heading for the Eclipse Cannon and Shadow has to stop them before it fires. Shadow then threatens to kill Rouge if she takes the Emeralds, buts says she can keep the fake one. Rouge asks if he really thinks he is the real Shadow and mentions that his memories could be fake. However, Shadow says that even then he is still Shadow as his memories are all he has, and he must fulfill his promise to Maria and that is what matters most. Shadow rushes across the underside of the ARK and eventually finds Sonic, who managed to escape from the exploding escape pod by using Chaos Control. Shadow comments that there was indeed more to Sonic than just looking like him, before vowing to kill him. Both hedgehogs face off for one last time, and despite his best efforts Sonic manages to reach the Eclipse Cannon and slam the fake Emerald into the barrel, destroying it. Meanwhile, in the control room, Eggman plugs the yellow Chaos Emerald into the console, laughing maniacally at his victory. Suddenly, an alarm begins going off.

#### The Last Story

Dr. Eggman desperately looks through the computer, trying to figure out what is going wrong. To his shock, he finds a video containing Gerald Robotnik. In the research center, Sonic and Knuckles try to investigate the rumbling when Rouge drops in. She reveals that the ARK is now falling to Mobius at terminal velocity and that they are all going to die. Suddenly, a video is broadcast out to the whole world. It contains Gerald, filming a few days before his death in a cell on Prison Island. He explains that the ARK is falling to Mobius and that in 27 minutes it will land; the resulting explosion will destroy the planet and wipe out all life on it. This protocol was activated when Eggman inserted the Chaos Emeralds into the console, and is his posthumous revenge for G.U.N. storming the ARK 50 years ago and killing Maria Robotnik, whose death drove him insane.

Eggman comes into the room and explains that the figure in the video is Gerald. Knuckles angrily believes that Eggman is responsible, but the doctor argues that he would have done it long ago if he could. Noticing Sonic, he grumbles about how persistent he is as the hedgehog states that Knuckles piloting the shuttle was worse than anything Eggman could throw at him. Eggman then hands Rouge a hard drive containing Gerald's diary, which she plugs into the computer and reads.

*I don't quite know what happened, or what went wrong. Was it a mistake to create the ultimate lifeform? I thought it would be something that would benefit mankind... But then the military guards landed on the Colony that day. They were sent to destroy the research project that I had been working on. My colleagues at the research facility, my granddaughter Maria, I hope you are all safe.*
Rouge then reads the final entry:
*The colony was completely shut down, probably to prevent the prototype from falling into the wrong hands. The ARK was shut down under the premise that there had been an accident. I found Maria's name among those who died when the ARK was shut down. She meant everything to me! And I couldn't bear the thought that she died because of my research. I lost everything! I had nothing more to live for! I went insane! All I could think about was to avenge her! Somehow, someway, I got scared as I no longer was able to control my thoughts. All I could think about was that I wanted it all to end. Based on my original projections, I was able to complete my project, Shadow. I designed its mind to be perfect, pure... I will leave everything, to him. If you wish, release and awaken it to the world if you wish to fill it with destruction.*
Eggman then explains that the energy from the Chaos Emeralds was enough to overcharge the Eclipse Cannon, making the core highly reactive and unstable. If the ARK hits Mobius, the planet will be destroyed, and so they must stop the energy flow. Rouge remembers that the Master Emerald is stronger than all seven Chaos Emeralds combined, and so they can use it to neutralize the energy. The five rush through to the core in a mad hurry, when Amy finds Shadow 19 minutes before impact. She begs him to help, but Shadow refuses as he has no reason to, the humans will perish, which is what Maria wanted. Amy begs Shadow not to ignore the crisis, as while some people are selfish a lot of them have good hearts and do not deserve to die.

This triggers a hidden memory within Shadow, and he realizes that Maria never wanted revenge. Shadow was created to give humanity a chance to be happy, and Gerald simply manipulated his memory to trick him. Shadow vows to fulfill Maria's promise by thwarting Gerald's plans, and he joins the others. They find the core, which was designed after the altar of the Master Emerald. However, they encounter the Biolizard, a prototype of the ultimate lifeform. Shadow engages it while the others get the Emeralds from the control room, and Shadow manages to defeat it as Knuckles uses the Master Emerald to neutralize the energy. However, the Biolizard uses Chaos Control to fuse with the ARK, becoming the Finalhazard. Eggman explains that the creature was also manipulated into serving Gerald, and it is determined to keep the ARK on its collision course.

Sonic and Shadow use the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and Shadow, and together they are able to defeat the Finalhazard and use Chaos Control to warp the ARK back into orbit before it hits Mobius. However, Shadow is unable to maintain his super transformation form any longer, and turns back to normal before falling to Mobius. Before he does, he tells himself that this was what Maria wanted and that he has fulfilled her promise. As humanity celebrates, the others on the ARK look down to the world. When Sonic returns to the ARK, Rouge wonders what happened to Shadow, but Sonic shakes his head to indicate he did not make it, but assures her that he did what a brave and heroic hedgehog did to save the Mobius. Eggman says that when he was young he looked up to Gerald, and wonders if he really did mean to destroy everything. Tails is unsure, but regardless everyone celebrates. Knuckles asks Rouge what she is going to do next, and she explains that she is not interested in jewels anymore after that hassle, but has a new career plan. As Sonic thinks of Shadow, Amy asks him what is on his mind, and Sonic assures her it is nothing. Everybody returns to Mobius, with Sonic promising to remember Shadow's heroic sacrifice.

### Sonic Advance

Dr. Eggman has hatched another evil plot to build his Eggman Empire by capturing Animals and turning them into robots, as well as gathering the seven Chaos Emeralds in order to gain unimaginable power.

The heroes eventually track the doctor to his Egg Utopia space station and swiftly destroy it. In the aftermath, Cream is reunited with Vanilla, who is luckily unharmed.

A few days later, As Vanilla is by herself watching Flickies, she gets sucked into a cloaked mech piloted by Eggman, who then takes his mech into space. With Sonic and his allies arriving too late to save Vanilla, Cream begins crying, but Sonic transforms into Super Sonic and goes after Eggman. Destroying Eggman's mech, Super Sonic grabs the Capsule containing Vanilla. During atmospheric re-entry though, the Capsule breaks apart, causing Sonic to revert back to normal. Sonic still catches Vanilla and lands safely, and Cream shares a tearful reunion with her mother while Sonic is welcomed back by his friends. Amidst the celebration though, everyone notices Sonic has left, having already left to find his next adventure.

### Sonic Heroes

#### Team Sonic

While running around on his own, Sonic meets Tails and Knuckles in the Tornado 2. They reveal that they have received a letter from Dr. Eggman telling them of a new ultimate weapon that will be ready within three days to help the doctor conquer the world, and that he challenges them to stop him. Sonic, competitive as ever, accepts the challenge. Tails is disturbed by the message and unsure of what will happen, while Knuckles is confident that there is nothing to worry about. Sonic, however, tells them that he would not miss this adventure and the three heroes band together once again to foil Eggman's plans.

After traveling along the coast, Team Sonic comes across Eggman in the Egg Hawk and defeat him. However, Eggman manages to escape. After that, Team Sonic track Eggman to Grand Metropolis. After liberating the city from Eggman's control and escaping the Power Plant, Team Sonic come across Team Rose, and Amy has her team engage in a battle with them in an effort to make Sonic marry her. After eventually escaping Team Rose, Team Sonic continue their hunt for Eggman. The team eventually overcomes Eggman and his robot army in the casino city with only a day left to spare, and Team Sonic then follows Eggman to Rail Canyon. Having only until sunset to stop Eggman, Team Sonic hurries to the center of Bullet Station, where they destroy Eggman's base and defeat his Egg Albatross. However, they discover that the Eggman they have been chasing is a fake, and that their challenge letter was meant to distract them while Eggman launched his Egg Fleet. While chasing Eggman through the jungle, Team Sonic encounter Team Dark, and the team members are amazed to see Shadow alive and well. After the two teams fought to decide who goes after Eggman, Team Sonic pursue Eggman and Team Dark to a spooky castle. After later escaping Mystic Mansion, Team Sonic overcome Eggman's next wave of robot henchmen, before going up to the Egg Fleet. They then infiltrate the Final Fortress and destroy its core. Soon after, Team Sonic finds Dr. Eggman in his Egg Emperor. After defeating Eggman, Team Sonic set off a chain reaction that destroys most of the Egg Fleet. With their mission complete, Sonic thanks his teammates before running away when he sees Amy arriving.

#### Team Dark

The story begins with Rouge sneaking into one of Dr. Eggman's bases after hearing that he has accumulated a valuable treasure collection. To her shock however, she instead finds Shadow the Hedgehog, who was thought to be dead, encased in a stasis capsule. As she awakens Shadow, E-123 Omega is accidentally activated by Rouge and attacks Shadow, thinking him to be an Eggman robot. Upon awakening, Shadow saves Rouge, who in turn breaks up Shadow and Omega's fight. Afterward, Rouge learns that Omega wants revenge on his creator, Dr. Eggman, for sealing him in the base and to prove his superiority by destroying all Eggman robots. Shadow, on the other hand, is suffering from amnesia, being unable to recall anything prior to his release by Rouge. Realizing that all their problems involve Eggman, Rouge has the three of them team up to find the doctor.

Shortly after starting their search, Team Dark find Dr. Eggman and his Egg Hawk. Although they defeat the Egg Hawk, Eggman gets away. Pursuing the doctor to Grand Metropolis with renewed resolve, Team Dark crush the opposition in the city and escape its Power Plant. Afterwards, they meet Team Chaotix, whom they engage in battle over an assumption that Rouge makes about them. After the fight, Team Dark arrives in the casino area, where they meet Eggman once again. Shadow asks about his past, but Eggman remarks that he has "no past to remember". Overcoming Eggman's robot hordes, Team Dark continue their pursuit of the doctor to Eggman's base at Bullet Station. After destroying Eggman's base, Team Dark faces the doctor and his Egg Albatross, defeating him. However, Team Dark sees that the Eggman they have been chasing is a fake, much to Omega's fury. Furthermore, they find the remains of a Shadow Android, making them question whether Shadow is the genuine article or merely a replica. Continuing their hunt, Team Dark eventually come across Team Sonic, whom they fight to see which one of them can go after Eggman. Afterward, Team Dark continue their hunt through a spooky castle and mansion before coming across Eggman again. After overcoming Eggman's robot swarm, Team Dark venture to Eggman's headquarters among the Egg Fleet, where they defeat his Egg Emperor. With Eggman seemingly destroyed, Omega considers his mission complete, but Rouge goes looking for treasure only to find a warehouse full of Shadow Androids. As Omega prepares to destroy the warehouse, he reassures Rouge, who does not know if Shadow is real or not, that Dr. Eggman would need the original Shadow to make the Shadow Androids. She then leaves with Shadow, planning to steal the Master Emerald since Knuckles is preoccupied.

#### Team Rose

The story begins with Amy, Big, Cream, and Cheese meeting each other by chance at the local news publisher. A quick exchange of stories reveal that all four of them are searching for someone; Amy is looking for her missing Sonic, Big is looking for his missing best friend Froggy, and Cream is looking for Cheese's missing twin brother, Chocola. Furthermore, the only clue they have to their friends' whereabouts is a picture of "Sonic" with Froggy and Chocola in the local newspaper. As they ponder about their only clue on the coastline, Amy nearly loses the newspaper to a gust of wind. Cream and Cheese manage to catch it, but as the wind begins to blow again and the pair are blown away. Fortunately, Big manages to catch them with his fishing rod.

Shortly after starting their search, Team Rose have a run-in with Dr. Eggman and his Egg Hawk, which they manage to defeat. Team Rose proceeds to follow Amy's hunch to Grand Metropolis. There, after escaping the local Power Plant, they find Team Sonic. Amy, determined to make Sonic hers by force, has her team fight Sonic's, but Team Sonic manages to escape during the fight. Arriving in the big city, Team Rose change tactics: since Team Sonic are hunting Eggman, all they have to do is find the doctor as well. After overcoming an attack from Eggman's robots, Team Rose come to Rail Canyon. With Big and Cheese sensing that their friends are close, Team Rose head into Eggman's base, where they defeat Dr. Eggman and his Egg Albatross. After the fight however, the team discovers that the Eggman they just fought was a copy, and that Froggy and Chocola are nowhere to be seen. With Amy suspecting that Eggman is behind Froggy and Chocola's disappearance, Team Rose leave to find the real Eggman. Eventually, they meet Team Chaotix after escaping the jungle. However, they end up fighting the detectives over a misunderstanding. Afterwards, Team Rose enters a haunted castle and escapes a mansion before finding Eggman, who once again attacks them with his robots. Overcoming Eggman's robot hordes, Team Rose proceeds to travel to the Egg Fleet, where they find Eggman in his Egg Emperor and defeat him. While their opponent turns out to be another fake Eggman, they find Chocola and Froggy in its remains and have a happy reunion. No sooner, Amy sees Sonic nearby and quickly chases after him.

#### Team Chaoitx

On a particularly dull day at the Chaotix Detective Agency's office, Vector is sitting at his desk listening to music while Espio is solemnly standing by. Suddenly, Charmy comes crashing into the office with a mysterious package, claiming that they have gotten a job. Inside the package, the team finds a walkie-talkie, with a stranger who gives the team instructions through this device. The stranger claims that if the job he has for them is completed, Team Chaotix will be 'rewarded handsomely'. Espio is wary of their client, but Vector and Charmy, with dollar signs in their eyes, reminds him that they 'never turn down work that pays'.

During their client's tests of their skills, Team Chaotix run into Dr. Eggman and his Egg Hawk. After making Eggman retreat, Team Chaotix arrive in Grand Metropolis, where they clear out the Eggman robots occupying it as their client requests. They then free the Power Plant from the control of Gold Camerons as instructed by their client. After that, they run into Team Dark, whom they fight after mistaking them for their client's adversaries. Afterwards, the client tests Team Chaotix's luck and have them look for casino chips in the casino city. Eventually, they meet Dr. Eggman again and overcome his robot horde. Team Chaotix then follow their client's instructions and infiltrate Eggman's base in Bullet Station, where they destroy some capsules, before running into Eggman and his Egg Albatross, which their client tells them to destroy. After their victory though, Team Chaotix discover that the Eggman they just fought was a fake, although their client is already aware of this. As Team Chaotix are instructed to head to the jungle, they begin to wonder about their client's identity, which Vector is slowly able to piece it together. After making it through the jungle undetected and protecting some Chao from Eggman's forces, Team Chaotix meet Team Rose, whom they end up fighting due to a miscommunication. Next the team is instructed to enter a castle to retrieve some keys. After then escaping a spooky mansion, Team Chaotix has another run-in with Dr. Eggman and his robots. After defeating Eggman's robots, Team Chaotix reach the Egg Fleet, where the client instructs them to infiltrate the flagship and find the keys that will free him from captivity. Along the way, Team Chaotix defeat a second fake Eggman, this one armed with the Egg Emperor. Having deduced that their client is Dr. Eggman, Vector busts him out of his prison so he and Team Chaotix can talk, and the doctor tells them that he will pay them after he conquers the world. However, Charmy attacks him for making promises he will not be able to keep.

#### The Last Story

Back with Team Chaotix and Dr. Eggman, Vector asks the doctor about who locked him up for trying to conquer the world, something which Eggman is reluctant to say. Soon after, all four of the teams, along with Eggman, race outside to find Neo Metal Sonic declaring himself the ruler of all living things before initiating his final transformation. Having copied the lifeform data from the teams during their adventures, Neo Metal Sonic combines them with the data on Chaos that he got from Froggy and Chocola and uses the debris from the Egg Fleet to become Metal Madness. As Dr. Eggman declares Metal Sonic unstoppable without the Chaos Emeralds to help them, the teams reveal that they have collected all seven along their respective journeys. With their chances of victory being slim even with the Emeralds, Sonic decides to go up against Metal Sonic alone, only for his teammates to join him. With the others agreeing to help as well by slowing down Metal Madness while Team Sonic gets ready, the heroes set out for their final battle.

Though Team Rose, Team Chaotix, and Team Dark manage to delay Metal Madness, he soon completes his transformation and becomes Metal Overlord. Team Sonic then uses the Chaos Emeralds to achieve their Super States and manage to defeat Metal Overlord, returning Neo Metal Sonic to his regular form. As Amy comes running, Sonic tells Metal Sonic that he will be ready for a rematch anytime before running off. Tails and Amy subsequently chase after Sonic while Metal Sonic shuts down and Amy's teammates wave goodbye to Amy. Meanwhile, Knuckles goes after Rouge when she heads out to steal the Master Emerald. As for Team Chaotix, they go after Dr. Eggman as he tries to get away from paying them. Lastly, Shadow and Omega hold up the defeated Metal Sonic and look at each other. Sometime later, Team Sonic is seen running together, heading out in search for their next adventure.

### Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow the Hedgehog's true identity is surrounded in mystery as there are no records of him, and he cannot remember his past. As such, he would spend various days repeating the same questions: who he is and why he was created.

On what seems to be another usual day, Shadow is standing on a hill near Westopolis, still puzzled about his past. A newspaper with the headline of celebrations taking place now that the Black Comet has come back after its fifty-year cycle blows by in the breeze, catching on the hedgehog's leg, then blowing off into the distance. Shadow pays it no mind as he struggles to recover all the pieces of his past with the only memory he has, which involve him and Maria Robotnik aboard the Space Colony ARK running for their lives, until the girl was shot by a G.U.N Soldier in front of him, with Shadow calling out her name. He continues to ask himself who he was, why he cannot remember anything, and who was Maria.

As Shadow ponders, the sky is suddenly engulfed in dark red clouds. From the center of these clouds, an alien race of black and red creatures known as 'the Black Arms' rain down on the city, wreaking havoc on its populace. Unconcerned about humanity's fate, he turns to leave, but was stopped by a mysterious voice calling his name. One of the alien creatures, a squid-like cycloptic being called Doom's Eye, approaches the hedgehog and projects a hologram of the aliens' leader, Black Doom. Black Doom cryptically informs Shadow that the 'day of reckoning' is soon to come and instructs him to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds and bring them to him 'as promised'. Not knowing what the leader was speaking of, Shadow demands answers, but the hologram ends and Doom's Eye retreats, with an sudden array of explosions keeping Shadow from pursuing. Bewildered by what just happened, Shadow figures that if Black Doom truly knows who he is, then he had no choice, but to believe him. Believing that the Chaos Emeralds are the key to the truth about his past, Shadow sets off to find them, his frozen heart now beginning to move as a harsh adventure to uncover the mysteries of his identity begins.

In the ruined city of Westopolis, Shadow gets caught in the crossfire between the soldiers of the Guardian Units of Nations and the Black Arms. During which, he meets his old rival, Sonic, who trusts him to help stop the evil aliens from wrecking the city. Along the way, he finds a Chaos Emerald and continues forward to locate the next one. However, he also encounters Doom's Eye, from which Black Doom communicates to him and orders him to deal with the G.U.N soldiers interfering with his plan. Shadow helps G.U.N repel the invaders. The black hedgehog's presence during the invasion is then made known to G.U.N's Commander, who holds a deep grudge against him for the deaths of Maria and everyone else aboard the Space Colony ARK and orders his soldiers to eliminate him on sight.

Meanwhile, the President declares that humanity must stand united to repel the Black Arms, and after witnessing the aliens' senseless destruction, Dr. Eggman decides to put an end to it and deploys his Eggman Fleet against the invaders as well as G.U.N. Shadow will end up in the Final Haunt, which takes place within the Black Comet. There, Shadow aids Sonic in reaching Black Doom himself. Shadow and Sonic fight Black Doom. After the heroes win, they get the last Chaos Emerald. Shadow will say that he will take down the Black Arms with Sonic's support, therefore fulfilling Maria's last request to protect the Mobius.

Shadow had obtained all seven Chaos Emeralds aboard the Black Comet. Black Doom then appears before him and commands that Shadow must give up the Emeralds so that they can begin the 'Ritual Of Prosperity'. Just then, Sonic arrives, followed by Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, and even Eggman, to tell Shadow not to listen to Black Doom, as the alien plans to destroy the planet. Doom rebukes this, claiming that the Black Arms are here to save the humans from destroying themselves with their greed and treachery, and are offering salvation and peace. He then reveals that he also plans to harvest the humans as an energy source for his race, shocking Shadow and others. Suddenly, he takes the Emeralds and from Shadow and uses Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet down to the surface of the Mobius, where it creates tendrils to anchor itself to the planet.

Black Doom then explains that he helped Professor Gerald create Shadow, but only in return for the Chaos Emeralds, which were needed to bring the comet down to the surface. Shadow becomes distraught by this revelation and becomes unresponsive while Eggman is in disbelief that his grandfather would betray the planet just for research. Sonic and the others prepare to fight back, but their bodies are then suddenly paralyzed by a special gas being emitted from the comet. Black Doom gloats on his victory and leaves them to be devoured by his alien offspring. As the end seems near, Shadow suddenly hears Maria's voice asking for help, which assists him in regaining his composure. He then shows that he is immune to the gas by standing up and stepping on one of the leeches, shocking Black Doom. Shadow then states that he has left his past behind him and has become determined to destroy Black Doom. Enraged that Shadow would betray his creator, Doom threatens to take back the life he gave Shadow before fleeing with the Chaos Emeralds. Shadow gives chase to the alien overlord, leaving behind the others, with Sonic calling Shadow their only hope.

After fighting his way through the Black Comet, Shadow catches up with Black Doom, who congratulates Shadow for making it so far and continues to claim that his way is the only method for the humans to survive. Shadow ignores this reasoning and prepares to fight, but Black Doom then reveals that his blood was used to create Shadow, thus making him a member of their race and revealing why Shadow wasn't affected by the paralysis gas. Shadow then finds himself attacked by Black Doom's mind control, as the alien gloats that Shadow can never defeat him nor escape his own past. Meanwhile, the Chaotix are onboard the ARK and have managed to hack into the data disks that they found earlier. Once finally inside, Charmy activates a recording of a still-sane Professor Gerald Robotnik, which is broadcasted both around the world and on the Black Comet.

In the film, Gerald leaves a message for Shadow that the government plans to shut down the ARK and convict everyone who know of the hedgehog's existence. Taking full responsibility, the professor states that it was all because of his dealings with Black Doom. He then reveals that he invented the Eclipse Cannon to destroy the Black Comet and entrusts Shadow with using it and saving the world, with Maria giving extra encouragement. Black Doom scoffs at this, stating that Shadow is under his absolute control, but is then stunned to see Shadow resisting him. The hedgehog states that he now knows his true purpose, and prepares to attack before Black Doom teleports away while proclaiming his intention to destroy Shadow with his full power. In response, Shadow retrieves the Chaos Emeralds and uses them to become Super Shadow. He then flies away to take on Black Doom, who has also transformed into a full-powered form.

After an intense fight, Black Doom is defeated and falls to his demise. Shadow then uses a super-powered Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet back into the planet's orbit before destroying it completely using the Eclipse Cannon. Everyone on the Mobius cheers in joy as the alien threat has been destroyed forever. Sonic and friends congratulate Shadow for his success while Eggman attempts to sneak away to obtain the Chaos Emeralds, only to pursued by Knuckles. The President decides to honor Gerald's memory by working toward a better future, with the Commander in full agreement.

In one final scene aboard the Space Colony ARK, Shadow looks at a picture of Maria and Gerald before tossing it away as he leaves the room, remarking, "*Goodbye forever... Shadow the Hedgehog'.*

However, the conflict between Emerl's new personality and his programming causes Emerl to lose control. He knocks out Eggman and turns the Final Egg Blaster towards the Mobius. Sonic tries to use the Master Emerald to neutralize Emerl's Chaos Emerald powers, but when that fails, he is forced to defeat him in combat.

#### Sonic's Story

On a day racing through Leaf Storm, Sonic finds Dr. Eggman in his Egg Hammer Mega, who gloats that the ultimate power will soon be his, and confronts him. After Sonic has defeated Eggman's Egg Hammer Mega, the doctor flies away, but he drops the blue Sol Emerald, which Sonic notices. Before he can pick it up however, Blaze the Cat from Mobius-779 appears in a column of flames, grabs the Sol Emerald, and leaves. Full of questions, Sonic goes to see his friend Tails and tells him of the situation. Deducing that Eggman is up to his old tricks, and that Blaze is somehow involved, the duo runs off to stop Eggman's plans.

Eventually, Sonic explores Water Palace, where he finds an Eggman-like figure, who introduces himself as Eggman Nega. After Sonic defeats Eggman Nega and his Egg Turtle in battle however, Eggman Nega flies away. Although Sonic and Tails think that Eggman Nega is just Eggman in another disguise, Tails suspects something is up, and heads to his workshop with Sonic to check something out. There, he discovers that there is an expanding tear in the space-time continuum, which will eventually alter the fabric of reality if it is not stopped. Looking for answers, the duo heads out once more. After encountering and defeating Eggman Nega and his Egg Scarab in Mirage Road, Sonic realizes that they are getting nowhere, so he and Tails start looking around for information. They subsequently go to Cream's house, where Vanilla tells them that Cream has gone out with a new friend, which Sonic and Tails believe to be Blaze. Following Vanilla's directions, the pair arrive in Night Carnival. There, Sonic has another confrontation with Eggman Nega, where he defeats his Egg Libra.

Soon after, Sonic and Tails find their path blocked by a pile of rocks. Suddenly however, Knuckles emerges from the boulders, enraged because of a confrontation he had with Cream and Blaze earlier. In a fit of rage, he punches the pile of rocks blocking the path to pieces and leaves. Free to continue, Sonic and Tails make their way through Huge Crisis, where Sonic defeats Eggman Nega and his Egg Hammer Fortress. Afterward, the duo finds Blaze and Cream. Sonic and Tails try asking Blaze about Eggman Nega and the space-time continuum tear respectively, but Blaze insists that the problems are hers to deal with and that she will handle them alone. Despite Sonic's insistence that they should work together, Blaze leaves with Cream, prompting Sonic and Tails to follow them. After then passing through Altitude Limit, where Sonic defeats Eggman Nega's Egg Eagle, Tails discovers that the space-time continuum tear is expanding, which at this point alerts Zonic, which reports to Ground Zero.Immediately after, they meet Amy, who tells them that she had seen Cream and Blaze go to Dead Line.

After getting through Dead Line, Sonic confronts Eggman Nega once again, demanding answers. Blaze then shows up, and Eggman Nega reveals to her that he used Dr. Eggman to get the Sol Emeralds for him. Blaze tries to make Sonic go away since Eggman Nega is her enemy, but Sonic ignores her, saying that he owes him a few things as well. Insisting that she does not need anyone's help, Blaze has a fight with Sonic. During their fight, Blaze reveals how her powers and duty 'cursed' her to a life of solitude, which is why she has to be alone. Following their clash, Sonic notices Blaze's overzealous and the rough past she has had, and convinces Blaze that she can rely on others for help. With that settled, the two properly introduce themselves to each other. Afterward, as the heroes notice how depressing things are looking, Blaze explains that the Sol Emeralds are drawing her dimension into Sonic's Mobius Prime, which Tails speculates will result in the destruction of both dimensions. To stop the disruption, they have to stop Eggman and Eggman Nega. Zonic continues to watch these events play out, he pulls a controller that has the power to fix the space-time continuum, he presses the button, and sees the dimensions painfully move apart. Zonic reports back to Ground Zero about his experiences. Noticing that Blaze is in no condition to continue, Sonic convinces her to let him deal with Eggman Nega.

In Unknown, Sonic has a final showdown with Eggman Nega, who is piloting the Egg King. Despite the odds, Sonic manages to destroy the Egg King. After the battle, he is met by Tails, Knuckles, and some Animals. As everyone celebrates however, Sonic is approached by Amy once again, prompting Sonic to run away with Amy hot on his heels. Meanwhile, Tails is glad that everything has gone back to normal. Zonic watches his prime counterpart run off with Amy chasing him, he smiles as calls Zlaze about her experience with her prime counterpart.

#### Blaze's Story

Blaze the Cat, an antisocial imperial princess from the Sol Dimension, has appeared on Mobius in Mobius Prime. This immediately alerts Ground Zero, who send out Zonic, and Zlaze to sort out this disturbance. Finding herself alone in this world, Blaze recalls that Dr. Eggman stole the Sol Emeralds, which her dimension relies on for survival, and that she was engulfed by a white light that sent her to this world while she was chasing the doctor. She subsequently sets out to collect the Sol Emeralds as soon as possible and return them to her world. She soon after encounters Eggman in his Egg Libra in Night Carnival. After the doctor is defeated, Blaze takes back one of the Sol Emeralds back and kicks Eggman away.

In the aftermath, Blaze wonders how will she be able to collect the six remaining Sol Emeralds and return to her world. However, she soon spots Cream the Rabbit and Cheese hiding in the bushes and tells them to come out. As Cream introduces herself, Blaze is surprised by Cream's politeness. The young rabbit, eager to befriend Blaze, brings her to her house for a cup of tea. There, Vanilla and Cream convince Blaze to have the latter be her local guide after hearing her story. However, Blaze dismisses their advice to seek Sonic's aid, believing she can do this alone. Despite having Cream tag along, Blaze remains mostly indifferent to the young rabbit's efforts to be her friend. Later, after passing through Leaf Forest, Blaze defeats Eggman and his Egg Hammer Mega and is able to get the second Sol Emerald, but not without getting spotted by Sonic. Despite this encounter, Blaze continues with her mission.

Eventually, after defeating Eggman and his Egg Scarab in Mirage Road and collecting another Sol Emerald, Blaze and Cream come across Knuckles, who mistakes the Sol Emeralds Blaze has for the Chaos Emeralds. He advices her to give them to Sonic for safekeeping, but Blaze insists that she does not have the Chaos Emeralds. When Knuckles believes otherwise, Blaze leaves with Cream, leaving an upset Knuckles behind and buried under a pile of rocks.

In Water Palace, Blaze is able to collect the fourth Sol Emerald after defeating Eggman and the Egg Turtle. At this point, Blaze is convinced that she does not need Sonic's help and that she will be able to get the remaining Sol Emeralds by herself. Immediately after however, she and Cream come across Amy, who runs off shortly thereafter, believing that Sonic is nearby. Afterward, Blaze in convinced by Cream to follow Amy, as she can lead them to Sonic. At the same time, Blaze starts to warm up and open up to Cream. After getting the fifth Sol Emerald in Altitude Limit by defeating Eggman and his Egg Eagle, Blaze and Cream come across Sonic and Tails. Sonic and Tails try asking Blaze about Eggman Nega and the space-time continuum tear respectively, but Blaze insists that the problems are hers to deal with and that she will handle them alone. Despite Sonic's insistence that they should work together, Blaze leaves with Cream. Despite this, Blaze has grown more curious about Sonic, and has Cream tell her about him. Zlaze watches from afar, and writes down her experience, she then uses the same controller that Zonic used to fix the space-time continuum. The process is painfully slow.

Later on, Blaze collects the sixth Sol Emerald in Huge Crisis from Eggman after defeating his Egg Hammer Fortress. She and Cream later meet Amy again, who tells Blaze to ask Sonic for help, and that she cannot do certain things alone. This leads to a discussion about friendship that Blaze is surprised about. However, Knuckles soon after arrives, desiring payback at Blaze for their last encounter. Not wanting to get herself and Blaze into trouble, Cream grabs Blaze and flies away. After that, Blaze begins to see the appeal of friendship.

Ending up in Dead Line, Blaze comes across Eggman once again and demands him to give her the last Sol Emerald, although the doctor refuses. Sonic then arrives on the scene as well, but Blaze tells him to go away since Eggman is her opponent. After Sonic refuses however, a furious Blaze has a fight with Sonic. During their fight, Blaze reveals how her powers and duty 'cursed' her to a life of solitude, which is why she has to be alone. After the battle, Blaze is able to get the final Sol Emerald from Eggman. Afterward, Sonic makes Blaze see the value of having others to rely on and Blaze realizes the error of her ways. Afterward, as the heroes notice how depressing things are looking, Blaze explains that the Sol Emeralds are drawing her dimension into Sonic's Mobius Prime. Before she can head out with Cream though, the heroes notice that Cream is gone. They also find a letter from Eggman, who says he has kidnapped Cream and that he will return her if Blaze comes to him alone. Noting that saving Cream is her responsibility since she is her friend, Blaze declines Sonic's offer to help and heads out, with Sonic believing that Blaze can handle it. After defeating Eggman and his Egg King in Unknown, Blaze searches through the wreckage for Cream, only to see her fall down from the sky. Blaze, in joy, hugs Cream and finally acknowledges her as her friend.

#### The Final Story

With the disruption between Sonic and Blaze's worlds having stopped, thanks to Zonic, and Zlaze. Blaze wonders how they can restore their worlds and how she is getting back to her world. Immediately after, both Eggman and Eggman Nega show up in the Egg Salamander, revealing that their worlds, like the Chaos and Sol Emeralds, are inextricably linked like the north and south poles of a magnet. The doctors also explain that, in close proximity, the Chaos and Sol Emeralds hold enough power to destroy the world, but that they just intend to harness their power. Knocking Blaze out and draining the Sol Emeralds of their power, the doctors get ready to carry out their scheme of creating an Eggmanland beyond their dimensions, which Zonic, and Zlaze will not let this happen, but by law they are not allowed to interfere with Mobius Prime and Mobius-779's history. Although, the controller speeds up the process by forcing the Mobiuses to move back into position. However, Eggman Nega wonders why the dimension is still stable even with the Chaos and the Sol Emeralds present, though Eggman reveals that Sonic is still in possession of the Chaos Emeralds.

Appearing on the scene, Sonic is ready to battle the Eggmen, who leave to prepare for their fight. Sonic then notices Blaze, who has lost hope because the Sol Emeralds have been rendered inert. However, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Cream soon come to cheer her up. Fueled by thoughts of friendship, the Sol Emeralds are recharged by Blaze's newfound feelings. Sonic then uses the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic, while Blaze uses the Sol Emeralds to become Burning Blaze. The two proceed to chase the Eggmen to Exception, where they defeat the doctors and their Egg Salamander. As their dimensions return to normal, Sonic and Blaze talk about how they and their friends will miss one another. While Blaze insists that it is best she leaves like this, Sonic promises her that they will meet again, and the two shake hands just before the dimensional forces of the Zone Cops controller pulls them back to their worlds.

Back home, Blaze realizes that carrying the world's weight on her own shoulders led her to act irresponsibly. Remembering Sonic's advice however, Blaze promises him that they will meet again. Meanwhile, back on Mobius Prime, Cream is crying over Blaze's departure, but Sonic cheers her up by telling her that Blaze promised to return someday. The Zone Cops take their leave back to Ground Zero with a job well done.

One day, on that Fateful day, They finally escaped when they fused their strange matter together. The Dark Fusion was so powerful that it ripped their Mobius Strip apart. The massive explosion grabbed the attention of The Highest and Ground Zero. The Highest knowing this could cause Time to stop altogether, they planned a counter measure. The Highest called upon Mobius Prime Sonic, and Chronos The Hedgehog, The **Prime universe** of the Sonic Multiverse.

Sonic turns to look at his friend, and questions what is going on. Chronos explains that The Highest need their help to take down a threat. Sonic better understands the situation, and agrees to help the Highest out. Once the All-Father has better explained why he brought Sonic and Chronos here. They explain the purpose of stopping the time eaters from getting to The Line of Time.

The All-Father will join them as well. Once this is all done, the All-Father will erase The Time Eaters from existence. But he needs time for this to happen.

Sonic questions what use would he be if cannot run. Brave-Light materialises the Chaos emeralds and the Time Stones, which solves his concern.

The rest are dealt with by Miracle Chronos and the All-Father. Suddenly, One Time eater snaps The Line of Time and flees Mobius-44 severally weaken. Super Sonic stops and grins with fulfilment. The All-Father quotes to Sonic that he missed one, but it won't matter now because it will come back to bite him in the future. Chronos yells as he teleports with a vain popping out of his forehead, and reappears behind where the Line of Time has snapped off. He rushes over to the left side and grabs the first string of Time. He puts his hands on the string and pulls it with all his might, while he begins to grind his teeth in pain as the string begins to resist his strength. Sonic sees his friend pulling time itself with his hands, and questions if he should help his friend out. All-Father floats beside Sonic, and reinsures that he will help his friend.

Chronos rushes to the right side and grabs the right side of The Line of Time, he falls into place by the forces of Time.

He shuts his eyes in serve pain, and claims that he will never give up while thinking about his family and friends. Suddenly, Chronos feels a boost in power, it flows through his body like milk.

Suddenly, three figures crash out of a nearby window, riding on Extreme Gear, with the police on their tail. Tails discovers that these figures have the Chaos Emerald, and thus the trio gives chase to them. While one of the the green figure is able to cut past Sonic with no problem, Knuckles punches the grey one off his Extreme Gear. A purple figure picks up her companion and rushes off, as Tails notices that the Extreme Gear they dropped features a symbol of a bird on it. Sonic then uses this Gear to chase them down, and he is able to reach the green figure, who admits that Sonic is not bad at using Extreme Gear. However, the figure takes Sonic by surprise and jumps above him, knocking him out. As the figure mocks Sonic and leaves with his teammates, Sonic is reunited with Tails and Knuckles, excited that he now has a new rival to compete against.

The next day, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles notice a local screen being broadcasted by Dr. Eggman, who announces that he has organized an Extreme Gear tournament known as the 'EX World Grand Prix', with the participants needing to pay an entry fee in the form of a Chaos Emerald, and that the winner will receive all seven Chaos Emeralds. Though Sonic seems unsurprised at first, Eggman presents the three current contestants: Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross; the same three figures Sonic encountered. This gets the hedgehog's attention, making him, Tails and Knuckles join the tournament.

After a few races in Metal City and Splash Canyon, the trio runs into Amy, who reveals that she has signed up for the tournament as well to be with Sonic. Tails then says that he believes that Jet, Wave, and Storm are a part of a legendary group of thieves known as the 'Babylon Rogues', who, according to rumors, live on a floating island known as Babylon Garden. He also explains that, according to legends, the Babylonians' actions enraged the Gods, who cast Babylon Garden into the depths of the Mobius. However, the same legends claim that there is a treasure on the island. After this, the heroes meet Wave, who mocks the Extreme Gear Tails is holding, the Blue Star, by calling it a 'piece of junk'. While the heroes are infuriated by her actions, they do not notice that she has tampered with the Blue Star by placing a bomb on it.

Later, at Egg Factory, Knuckles has a short fight with Storm, accidentally damaging an E-10000R in the process. In the end, they decide to settle things with a race, which Knuckles wins. Afterward, the heroes find themselves at Green Cave watching Sonic practice on his Extreme Gear. There, they find Jet, who says that while Sonic is very fast on his feet, he is not very impressive on Extreme Gear. Jet then leaves, and Tails remembers Wave's comments about his Extreme Gear. Refusing to let Wave get the better of him, Tails promises Sonic that he will unlock the secrets of the Extreme Gear for them. Afterward, Tails has a race against Wave, which he manages to win.

Next, at Sand Ruins, Omochao is hosting the final race of the EX World Grand Prix. Amy cheers Sonic, who is about to compete against Jet. The hawk mocks Sonic once again, saying that he obviously was able to win his previous races because of luck rather than skill, though Sonic is confident that he will win. At the end of the race, Sonic is about to beat Jet. However, Wave then detonates the bomb on Sonic's Extreme Gear, destroying Sonic's Blue Star and allowing Jet to win and obtain the Chaos Emeralds. Jet proceeds to use the Emeralds and the Key to Babylon Garden to summon Babylon Garden, which raises out of the nearby desert and into the sky. Suddenly though, Dr. Eggman snatches the Key to Babylon Garden from Jet's hands and flies off to Babylon Garden in his Egg Mobile.

Using the Tornado 2, the heroes reach Babylon Garden. Next to the Babylon Rogues' ship, the trio notices Dr. Eggman passing by on his E-Rider. Sonic prepares to chase him, but not before Tails gives him the Blue Star II. However, he is met by Jet, who challenges him to a final race. In the end, Sonic is able to win. While Jet throws a tantrum in frustration, Sonic sees Eggman in front of a giant door on the Babylon Garden. Sonic is about to attack the doctor, but not before Eggman reveals that he is holding Amy hostage. Sonic then uses two Tornadoes to attack Eggman and get the Key to Babylon Garden. Having no need for the treasure of Babylon, Sonic gives the key to Jet, who complains that he has lost and does not want his pity. Insisting that 'treasure is treasure', Wave takes the key anyway, and Jet begrudgingly accepts it. Just before the heroes leave, Amy shows up, enraged because Sonic attacked Eggman with herself in the middle. He attempts to come up with an excuse to calm her down, though with little success. Amy then chases Sonic around with her Piko Piko Hammer, while Tails and Knuckles watch.

#### The Babylon Rogues's Story

While in his office onboard his ship, Jet looks at the Key to Babylon Garden in his hand, carefully examining it. Suddenly, Storm comes in, making Jet comically fall off his seat. Wave walks in as well, scolding Storm for his impoliteness. Storm then notices the Key to Babylon Garden, with Jet explaining that he had inherited it from his father. Wave and Storm proceed to argue with each other, before Jet stops them and asks them why they entered his office. The two then tell him that Dr. Eggman wants to visit him. The doctor then steps into the room, noticing the Key to Babylon Garden in Storm's hands. Eggman tells Jet that he needs to collect the Chaos Emeralds, and while Jet believes that his mission is going to be easy, Eggman warns him of Sonic the Hedgehog. Nevertheless, Jet shows no concern, and is convinced that he will easily beat Sonic in an Extreme Gear competition.

After Jet proves himself to Sonic in Night Chase, Wave meets Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy in Red Canyon. She sees the Blue Star, an Extreme Gear Tails modeled and customized himself, and Wave says to herself that it does not look bad for an 'amateur'. She then mocks Tails by calling his Gear a 'piece of junk' and secretly plants a bomb on it and proceeds to win a race against an enraged Amy.

Back on the Babylon Rogues' ship, Jet is once again in his office examining the Key to Babylon Garden, before Storm abruptly bursts in once again. Storm says that he lost a race against Knuckles in Egg Factory, and Wave criticizes him, which starts another argument between the two. Jet, suspicious of Eggman's intentions, tasks Storm with going to Ice Factory, one of Eggman's bases, to find clues of what the doctor is really up to.

While Storm is exploring Ice Factory, Jet and Wave are waiting for him in White Cave, complaining that Storm is taking too long. Nevertheless, Jet does not really care, causing him to be scolded by Wave for a while because of his lack of responsibility as a leader. Jet then notices Sonic doing some tricks as Tails and Knuckles watch and quietly sneaks away without Wave noticing. When Wave sees that Jet is gone, she complains about him before leaving as well.

Later, at Dark Desert, Jet and Wave reunite with Storm, who gives them a small microchip he found. Wave takes it, revealing a holographic monitor with Eggman's diary. This reveals that he intends to find the Babylonians' ancient technology and claim it for himself to conquer the world. After learning of this, Jet decides to leave, finding the effort he put in a waste of time, and having no interest of using advanced technology. However, Wave stops him, convincing him that this advanced technology that Eggman seeks must be worth much more than silver or gold. After imagining himself resting in riches, Jet decides to participate in the finals of the EX World Grand Prix.

After the final race, Omochao broadcasts the news of Babylon Garden having mysteriously appeared near Dark Desert, and that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles have gone to investigate. There, Wave and Storm meet Tails and Knuckles, accidentally starting an argument with them. The heroes offer Jet the Key to Babylon Garden, as they have no use for it, but Jet refuses, seeing it as an act of pity. Regardless, Wave takes it on behalf of the Babylon Rogues, noting that 'treasure is treasure'. The Rogues then use it to open a large door, accidentally summoning the Babylon Guardian in the process. Teaming up with Sonic and his friends, the Babylon Rogues defeat the Guardian, revealing the treasure of Babylon. However, it turns out that this treasure is just a Magic Carpet, surprising everyone. Having arrived to claim the treasure himself, Eggman deems his plot with the EX World Grand Prix a waste of time, and proceeds to faint from the subsequent shock. Jet sees the carpet as a sign that the Babylon Rogues are descendants of genies. Afterwards, the Babylon Rogues part ways with Sonic and his team, with Jet vowing to return and face Sonic again.

### Sonic The Hedgehog : 2006

#### Sonic's Episode

The city of Soleanna is ruled by Princess Elise the Third, who is the keeper of a dark secret, the 'Flames of Disaster', which involves the Chaos Emeralds. The citizens of Soleanna are celebrating the Festival of the Sun; while lighting the ceremonial torch, Elise apparently suffers a terrifying hallucination of the city in flames with a demonic creature composed of molten magma in the center. As fireworks are launched, multiple missiles hit the ground around her, and Dr. Eggman arrives with a small army of robots. He reveals his intentions to kidnap Elise in order to obtain the secrets of the Flames of Disaster, who is, of course, unwilling to comply. At that moment, a circle of blue wind appears around them, and the blue circle of wind reveals to be none other then Sonic the Hedgehog, who destroys a small number of Eggman's robots and escapes with Elise, while Eggman orders his robots to fire on him.

As Sonic escapes, the scene switches to the sight of a white-furred hedgehog named Silver, who speaks of finally locating the "Iblis Trigger". While running through the city, a confused Elise asks Sonic why he is helping her, but he replies that he has 'no special reason'. Soon afterward, more of Eggman's robots attack them, and Eggman successfully captures Elise in the Egg Mobile while Sonic is distracted fighting them. As Eggman returns to the Egg Carrier, Elise throws Sonic her Chaos Emerald, which he catches and assures her that he will rescue her. Unconcerned, Eggman simply decides to let Sonic hold onto the Emerald for the time being, and escapes on board the Egg Carrier as Sonic looks on.

The next morning, while attempting to gather info on Eggman's whereabouts, Sonic runs into Tails, who has apparently been helping to clean up the city after Eggman's attack. Tails reveals that he knows that Sonic had attempted to save Elise, and offers to help Sonic out however he can; while he doesn't know what Eggman's up to this time, he knows it isn't good.

Sonic and Tails chase the Egg Carrier to Wave Ocean, a nearby beach, but are unable to catch up to it before it escapes. Defeated for now, Sonic and Tails decide to return to the city. Sonic and Tails make their way to the Dusty Desert, where Eggman has been seen, and landing right in the room where he is keeping Elise, who is quite glad to see them. At that moment, Eggman arrives and unleashes his Egg Cerberus robot on them, which Sonic defeats. Afterwards, Eggman sends a massive amount of robots after them, and Tails creates a diversion in order to allow Sonic and Elise to escape unnoticed.

After escaping the desert and entering the plains, Sonic comes to a stop. Elise thanks Sonic for his help, but then notices a wound on his arm. Despite Sonic's insistence that he's fine, Elise bandages his arm with a handkerchief. Blaming herself for Sonic getting hurt, Elise apologizes, but Sonic merely tells her to smile, stating that her smile is all he needs to keep him going. While walking through the plains, Elise fills Sonic in about the Flames of Disaster, Solaris, how they had nearly faced the full force of his anger ten years ago, and how she had lost her father in the incident, and fears what would happen if Eggman makes history repeat itself. Without warning, Sonic grabs Elise's hand and runs through the plains with her. Afterwards, Elise lightens up, and Sonic gives her some useful advice. However, upon their return to the city, Sonic and Elise are attacked by Silver, who claims that Sonic's actions will condemn the world and they battle.

Sonic initially has the upper hand, but Silver catches him off-guard and psychokinetically throws him into a building, incapacitating him. Silver demands to know how someone as weak as Sonic could destroy the world; Sonic asks what he means, but Silver decides that it does not matter, as long as the 'Iblis Trigger' is destroyed. However, Eggman capitalizes on Sonic's distraction to kidnap Elise again, and Sonic attempts to run after them, but Silver isn't about to let him run off. Silver knocks him down with his psychokinesis, and is about to deliver the final blow, when Amy suddenly steps in. Silver somehow knows Amy, and orders her to move, but she isn't about to let him hurt Sonic any more. Sonic takes the opportunity, thanking Amy, and pursues after Eggman.

After a brief encounter with a group of Soleannan soldiers, who accept Sonic's help despite initial reluctance, he enters the warehouse district of Soleanna New City and meets up with Tails and Knuckles, the latter of whom gives him a holographic message that he received from Eggman. Eggman negotiates a deal; if Sonic comes to the White Acropolis and gives Eggman the Chaos Emerald that Elise had given him earlier in Soleanna Castle Town, then Eggman will let Elise go without a fight. Though Tails and Knuckles are both positive that Eggman is setting up a trap, Sonic decides to go anyway, planning to 'thank' Eggman for telling him Elise's whereabouts.

Sonic, Knuckles and Tails fight through the White Acropolis and enter the room where Eggman and Elise are. Sonic obediently puts the Chaos Emerald onto a small pedestal, but unsurprisingly, Eggman double-crosses the trio and activates a force field, trapping Team Sonic within. At that moment, Eggman activates his 'Solaris prototype', and Sonic and co. vanish into thin air. The minute they vanish, Eggman assures Elise that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are still alive, but have been transported to another time period; however, Eggman does not know where they ended up, as he needs a power that Elise apparently possesses and all seven Chaos Emeralds to fine-tune the machine.

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles encounter Shadow and Rouge, who are also trapped in this future. In order to return to the present, they need to create a rift in time and space, which they figure can be created if Sonic and Shadow use Chaos Control together. While searching for Chaos Emeralds, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles encounter Silver, his friend Blaze, and Mephiles, a dark being who resembles Shadow, tells Silver that Sonic is the one responsible for the future's devastation, and takes them back in time to kill Sonic. He learns from a computer file that Elise was killed when Eggman's battleship exploded two days after the Festival of the Sun. After retrieving a pair of Chaos Emeralds, and having to deal with Iblis beforehand, Sonic and Shadow create the space-time rift, allowing them to return to the present.

Sonic returns for Elise, but is once again attacked by Silver, also allowing Eggman to kidnap Elise yet again. Fortunately, Shadow arrives to confront Silver, allowing Sonic to rescue Elise, and he returns her to her castle in Soleanna. Later, Eggman arrives in his battleship and threatens to destroy Soleanna, and Elise willingly surrenders herself to him to protect her people. Eggman explains to Elise that in order for his plan to take over the world to work, he requires the seven Chaos Emeralds and the dormant power of the Flames of Disaster within Elise to awaken Solaris, allowing him to harness the sun god's power over time.

On his way to rescue Elise, Sonic encounters Silver once more who, instead of attacking him, expresses concern for Elise as well. The two hedgehogs team up, but before they reach the battleship, it malfunctions, crashes and explodes, just as Sonic feared while back at the future. However, Sonic and Silver realize they can use Chaos Control to travel back in time to the previous day, before Eggman's battleship launched. Sonic travels to the past alone and reunites with Elise. Defeating Eggman one last time, Sonic escapes the exploding battleship with Elise and makes it back to solid ground.

#### Shadow's Episode

In the midst of a rescue mission of Rouge the Bat, who was sent by G.U.N. to retrieve the 'Scepter of Darkness' from Eggman's base at White Acropolis, and has not been heard from since. Shadow invades the base and finds Rouge in the midst of accomplishing her mission. They escape to the site that was formerly the castle of Soleanna's kings, where they are confronted by Dr. Eggman, who attempts to retrieve his stolen property. Eggman's robots swoop down to attack, and in the heat of the battle, the Scepter of Darkness is completely shattered. With the seal destroyed, Mephiles is freed.

Resurrected in the likeness of Shadow through his shade, Mephiles the Dark introduces himself and hints at past history that the two shared. Mephiles, using a time warp similar to Chaos Control, flings Shadow and Rouge to a future on the brink of collapse. When they arrive, they are first perplexed, but before long, they find some disturbing answers. Along the way, they find an inactive, dusty E-123 Omega, lying in stand-by mode for hundreds of years for an unknown reason. They discover that they are in the distant future, destroyed by the demon Iblis. Shadow and Rouge meet up with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, who were sent to the future by Eggman's latest machine. Sonic and Shadow conclude that they must use Chaos Control to get home, and set out to locate the Chaos Emeralds. After a confrontation with Iblis, they succeed in finding two Chaos Emeralds and successfully create a time warp to the present. Sonic and company go back to their time, except for Shadow, who stays to confront Mephiles. Upon catching up with Mephiles, he reveals to Shadow that the humans, looking for someone to blame for the destruction of Mobius, saw Shadow responsible for the catastrophe. Shadow is hunted down, defeated, and trapped behind an energy seal. Mephiles tempts Shadow to join him to gain vengeance upon the humans, but Shadow refuses, at which point Mephiles transforms into his second form, a more powerful crystalline monster, and the two engage in battle.

Rouge, in the present, realizes that Shadow is alone in the future fighting Mephiles, without a Chaos Emerald. She searches for E-123 Omega, gives him a Chaos Emerald, and tells him to sit and wait in stand-by mode until the distant future becomes the present, and to assist Shadow fighting Mephiles. Shadow, at Mephiles' mercy, is rescued by Omega, who gives him the Chaos Emerald and helps Shadow fight Mephiles. Defeated, Mephiles flees to the present through a time warp and Shadow and Omega follow him to the present. Omega pursues Mephiles, and Shadow finds Rouge, who informs him that Dr. Eggman is apparently searching for him. Shadow concludes that Eggman is searching for Mephiles, and goes to interview the doctor. Upon locating Eggman's base, Eggman tells him that, to understand why he wants Mephiles, Shadow must know about the accident that happened 10 years ago, the Solaris Project.

Shadow then leaves only to find Sonic, who is under attack by Silver. Shadow rescues Sonic, who runs away with Princess Elise, and Shadow engages in a fight with Silver. Shadow is able to overcome him by freezing time so Silver cannot defend himself. Refusing to just be defeated, Silver also induces Chaos Control, to Shadow's shock. Shadow tells Silver that in order to understand more about Mephiles and Iblis, they would have to use the warp and witness the accident themselves. So, the two of them, using the Emeralds, open a time warp to 10 years ago, during the Solaris Project. They witness the Solaris Project's failure at hand, and watch as Iblis and the original Mephiles, a dark puddle, emerge, opening Silver's eyes to Mephiles' deception. The Duke of Soleanna tells them that the demons must be sealed, so he gives Shadow the Scepter of Darkness. Shadow goes to capture Mephiles, and Silver goes to capture Iblis. It is here that Shadow finds out why Mephiles knows him; it was Shadow who sealed him in the Scepter of Darkness in the first place. With the demons sealed, Shadow leaves the Scepter in the past since he knew where it would end up in the present day. Silver and Shadow return and Shadow rushes off to find Rouge to tell her what he learned about Mephiles. Shadow finds Rouge and tells her to find out what the Scepter of Darkness, Mephiles' seal, was made of, so they can create another one.

Elsewhere, Omega has found Mephiles on the beach and defeats him once again, but Mephiles laughs and tells Omega that the reason he can defeat him so easily is because he was built to defeat Shadow later on. Omega refuses to acknowledge the truth at first, but after Mephiles escapes again, he admits to Shadow and Rouge that he was the one that sealed Shadow in the future. Shadow, Omega, and Rouge chase Mephiles to a desert temple with a new Scepter of Darkness, but Mephiles has already found the yellow Chaos Emerald. After Shadow fights him and gains victory, Mephiles reverts back into his original form, a puddle of darkness. Shadow attempts to seal him in the new Scepter of Darkness, but it shatters and Mephiles is able to free himself. Mephiles reveals that what worked ten years ago will no longer does because he is using Shadow's form. Mephiles uses his powers to summon a giant clone army of himself and he attempts, once again, to trick Shadow by convincing him that he is a fool for continuing to protect those who will eventually seal him away. In response, Shadow replies, *"If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have!"* Shadow then removes his Inhibitor Rings and in a huge burst of energy, defeats the Mephiles clones with his allies by his side.

#### Silver's Episode

Silver the Hedgehog lives approximately 200 years in the future, where telekinetic powers are a common ability, but very little heroes remain. In the future, Silver's world is completely destroyed by what is known as the 'Flames of Disaster'. Fought by Silver and his partner and best friend, Blaze the Cat, this is known as an immortal being known as 'Iblis'. After Silver becomes frustrated over the fact that Iblis cannot be defeated, a mysterious figure named Mephiles the Dark suddenly appears and, along the way, informs Silver of the time when Iblis was first unleashed onto the Mobius. He tells him that Sonic was the main cause of the 'Flames of Disaster' and refers to him as the 'Iblis Trigger'.

Mephiles sends himself along with Silver and Blaze back in time to the point when 'the Iblis Trigger was alive' to prevent Sonic from destroying the future. Upon reaching the present day, Silver realizes that he got separated from Mephiles and Blaze and, elsewhere, Blaze makes the same realization. When Silver has his sights finally set on the Iblis Trigger, he is interrupted by Amy, who mistakes him for Sonic. Amy quickly develops a friendship with Silver, and she promises to help him find who he is looking for, not realizing that he plans on finding and killing Sonic.

After locating Sonic in the city, Silver engages him in combat and just as Sonic is about to be killed by Silver, he is saved by Amy. While Sonic runs off to find Elise, who was kidnapped by Eggman during the battle, Amy gets upset over the fact that Silver would even suggest that Sonic would destroy Mobius in the future and she quickly leaves Silver.

Both confused and puzzled when Blaze finds him, Silver questions whether or not he should kill Sonic just for the sake of saving the future. To find more answers, Silver and Blaze journey to Eggman's base. After resolving that he should kill Sonic, Silver finds Mephiles, who tells him that Sonic is at the terminal station. Silver heads there and fights Sonic again, only to have Shadow save Sonic just as Silver was about to finish him off. Silver mistakes Shadow for Mephiles and Shadow corrects him. The two battle it out and actually induce a Chaos Control using the two Chaos Emeralds they have in their possession. They teleport into the past 10 years ago and find out what went wrong. Silver and Shadow arrive at the perfect moment, during the explosion that releases Mephiles and Iblis in the first place and, ultimately, causes the Duke of Soleanna's death.

Shadow seals the original Mephiles in the Scepter of Darkness and Silver learns that to defeat Iblis, they must seal him inside someone's soul, making that person into a sort of vessel. Silver also learns more of Mephiles' intentions and discerns that he lied to him about Sonic being the Iblis Trigger. Upon returning to the present, he meets up with Blaze, shares his findings and has a change of heart, resolving to help Sonic save Elise.

Unfortunately, Sonic, Silver and Blaze arrive too late, as they watch the Egg Carrier explode causing the death of Elise and possibly Eggman as well. Silver then tells Sonic that if they use Chaos Control, Sonic can save Elise. Sonic rushes into the past to save Elise and gives Silver a Chaos Emerald for him to return to the future. After journeying back to the future, resolved to finally defeat Iblis, Silver and Blaze fight Iblis and successfully defeat him. When Silver tries to seal him, though, by using himself as a vessel, Silver is unable to use himself as a vessel to seal Iblis. As the ultimate sacrifice, Blaze uses herself as the vessel, sealing both herself and Iblis into another dimension to save both Silver and her world. Disturbed over the loss of a good friend, Silver becomes upset, unsure if what he had set out to do was worth what he had to pay in the end. Nevertheless, light returns to Silver's world, he glares at the Chaos Emeralds while Blaze is sealed with Iblis in and is taken to Heaven.

#### The Final Episode

Mephiles is seen sporting an evil look as he finally seems prepared to merge with Iblis and destroy the world. Using his purple Emerald, Mephiles blinds Sonic and Elise, who were continuing their stroll from somewhere in the Soleanna Forest. When they are distracted, he rises from the ground and launches an energy beam that impales Sonic through the back, killing him instantly. Elise frantically attempts to revive Sonic, but upon discovering that he is indeed dead, she cries in despair, releasing Iblis. Mephiles then absorbs Iblis, mutates into a monster known as Solaris, and then creates his own world to destroy time itself. This alerts Ground Zero, and nothing is done about it because they already know how it ends. Shadow and his friends recover from their battle with the Mephiles clones and he notices the Green and Yellow Chaos Emeralds that Mephiles left behind. These create a blinding flash that send Shadow, Rouge and Omega to the time-space rift formed by Solaris. Meanwhile, in Soleanna, Amy, Tails and Knuckles notice a large bright light that engulfs the city.

When the light fades, they realize that they have also been transported to the rift. Amy is the first to spot Silver, who has been teleported here as well by the Chaos Emeralds that Blaze used to seal Iblis within her. Everyone notices that they have all been brought to this strange place, even Dr. Eggman. As they try to understand what was happening, Dr. Eggman reveals that Iblis' seal has been broken. It is then that they turn and see Elise, cradling Sonic's body in her lap. After a few realizations, Eggman reveals that Solaris is about to bring about the end of the world by destroying time itself, and that, being a transcendental life form, it cannot be defeated in the present as it exists in all timelines, so defeating it in the present would do nothing. Silver refuses to give up, and suggests that they team up and destroy Solaris in the past, present, and future all at once, but Shadow quickly shoots that possibility down, stating that, with Sonic dead, Solaris is completely unstoppable.

With Amy upset over Sonic's death and their impending doom, Elise recognizes a familiar wind in the air that makes her come to believe that Sonic may not be entirely dead yet. Silver, furthering Elise's observations, explains that they can use the Chaos Emeralds to revive him. After a lengthy search on the part of Tails, Omega, Knuckles, Silver, Rouge, Amy, and Shadow, they find the Chaos Emeralds and revive Sonic, with Elise's kiss transforming him into Super State. Super Sonic uses his power to transform Shadow and Silver into their Super States. Together, the three hedgehogs fight Solaris, and they manage to destroy Solaris's consciousness. Losing control over his body, Solaris's body diverges into streams of energy, reverting it to its original state: a tiny flame. Sonic, now back to normal, travels with Elise to a point in the past, where they find the 'flame of hope' and its birth. Elise realizes that if she puts out the Flames, Solaris will never exist, but she and Sonic will never meet each other, which Sonic confirms. Overcome with despair, Elise begins to cry and shouts that she does not care what happens to the world as long as she and Sonic are friends. Though Sonic is clearly unhappy about this as well, he tells Elise to just smile and manages to convince her to abandon their meeting. She confidently puts out the Flames, eliminating Solaris from existence once and for all, thanks to Ground Zero fixing the stabilisation of Mobius Prime.

Time restarts back to the Festival of the Sun, only Eggman does not attack this time around; in effect, none of the events ever actually happened. Elise is in her boat waving the audience as Sonic runs through the public, the 'wind' of his speed making Elise lose one of the feathers in her hair. A maid asks her if everything is alright, and Elise says that she thought someone was calling her. Another maid replies that it's just the wind, and Elise says that it might be, but that it felt familiar somehow, and smiles, apparently knowing who it was. She continues with the festival as Sonic watches from a rooftop. Sonic watching Elise's feather flying into the night, also smiling.

### Sonic Rush Adventure

Sonic and Tails are tracking a mysterious, unknown source of energy in the Tornado, when they are sucked into a hurricane, which is actually a wormhole to Mobius-779, this alerted Ground Zero, and they sent Zlaze, and Zonic. Their task is to investigate the disturbance, and somehow fix it. The two then find themselves on an island, where a raccoon girl, named Marine the Raccoon, takes care of the two when they woke up. She tells the dynamic duo that she wants to go adventuring. With this, the hedgehog and the fox set off for different islands, and the adventure begins.

Using materials of different jewels and metals, Tails builds a waterbike called the Wave Cyclone, which they use to sail to a jungle island and a mechanical island, collecting more materials as they go along to build a sailboat. While there, they encounter two evil robots, Ghost Rex and Ghost Pendulum, whom Sonic destroys in battle. After Tails builds the sailboat, Ocean Tornado, they set sail for a small island. They run into a robot named Johnny, who believes he is the fastest, and races against Sonic. He races Johnny a total of seven times, and Sonic receives a Chaos Emerald for winning each race.

When they arrive at an altar on the small island, an underwater cave called Coral Cave rises out of the water. Inside Coral Cave, they encounter a robotic pirate, Captain Whisker, and his minions Mini & Mum, as they steal the Jeweled Scepter. Suddenly, much to Sonic's surprise, Blaze the Cat arrives in an attempt to stop Whisker from taking the scepter. Both Sonic and Blaze are shocked to see each other, but Whisker sends a robot named Ghost Kraken after them. Although the robot is destroyed, Whisker escapes with the scepter. When asking Blaze what she is doing here, she tells Sonic that she was going to ask the same thing. Sonic and Tails then have a shocking realization: the Tornado sent them to the Sol Dimension. Sonic and Blaze agree to work together and get the Jeweled Scepter back from Whisker. Tails builds a radar, which detects electromagnetic activity coming from an area where ghost ships are rumored to be. They go to the Haunted Ship and collect Silver Material, while fighting off Whisker's robot, Ghost Pirate. Whisker escapes again.

Tails then builds a hovercraft out of Blue, Iron, Green, Bronze, Red and Silver Materials, so they can go past obstacles to new areas, first going to Blizzard Peaks to ask the Vikings about the pirates. However, Whisker and his Ghost Whale have frozen the Vikings. Sonic and Blaze destroy Ghost Whale, and Blaze unfreezes the Vikings, who say that the pirates might be using an ancient ruin, which was once a city in the sky, as their hideout. Heading east to an island where earthquakes are sourced, Sonic, Tails, Blaze, and Marine are blasted up to a floating island in the sky called Sky Babylon, where they confront Whisker and destroy his Ghost Condor. Whisker escapes, and Blaze reads an ancient monument which Whisker had intended to destroy, as it details the location to the pirates' hideout. As its entrance is underwater, Tails builds a submarine. In the meantime, Blaze collects the Sol Emeralds.

They find the underwater cave, but cannot get through a gold door into the pirates' hideout. However, Whisker, being extremely dim-witted, inadvertently tells them that they must align the symbols on the door and that there are three markers on separate islands giving clues as to do this. After finding the three markers on hidden islands, Sonic, Tails, and Blaze tell Marine to stay at Southern Island, as the upcoming battle with the pirates will be more dangerous than any challenge they've faced so far. Marine insists that she goes with them, and Blaze yells at her, and calls her a nuisance.

Sonic, Tails, and Blaze return to the gold door and enter Pirates' Island, where they confront Whisker and Johnny, the latter of whom being revealed to be the former's first mate. The hedgehog and the cat defeat the robot pirates, who escape to the ocean through a hole in the ground, mentioning working for a boss. Marine, hoping to prove her value as a captain, chases the villains to their ship, the Big Swell, but is captured by Whisker. Tails tricks the captain into thinking the scepter is somewhere else on the ship, distracting him and allowing Sonic and Blaze to rescue the raccoon from Whisker's ultimate robot, Ghost Titan. In an intense battle, Sonic and Blaze destroy their foe, and the resulting explosion engulfs the entire ship and the pirates, sinking them while the heroes escape. Marine reveals that she took the Jeweled Scepter from Whisker while on the ship, and gives it to Blaze, who has it put in the treasury for safekeeping. Afterward, Tails plans to use the Chaos and Sol Emeralds' power to build a device to return to their dimension. A familiar silhouette appears over the scepter about to steal it.

Another earthquake, this being even more powerful than the previous ones, happens on Southern Island. When Sonic and his crew go outside, they discover that Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega were the ones responsible for the recent skirmishes all along. The villains reveal that they are working together to unleash the power of the Jeweled Scepter with something called the 'Power of the Stars', which they recently discovered is located below Southern Island. They created Whisker to do most of the work for them, but as the robot is gone, they stole the scepter themselves.

Tails builds a machine called the Magma Hurricane, which digs below underground. Piloting a mech called the Egg Wizard, Eggman and Eggman Nega unleash the power of the Jeweled Scepter and become nearly unstoppable. Sonic and Blaze use the Chaos and Sol Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic and Burning Blaze, respectively, and they fight Eggman and Eggman Nega. Much to the doctor's horror, Nega tries to blow up the world, but Marine stops him by shooting the Egg Wizard with a green energy ball. Burning Blaze knocks the Egg Wizard into the air and Super Sonic pierces through the mech, destroying it.

In the end, Sonic and Blaze found out that the Emeralds brought them together once again, and did not threaten to destroy both worlds this time because they were stable and always seem to want the two heroes to win. Ground Zero realises this misunderstanding, and calls back Zonic, and Zlaze. Tails finishes his ship to bring himself and the hedgehog home, called the *SS Tornado EX*. Sonic bids farewells to the cat with a handshake. As he and the fox depart from the island, Marine comes with her new boat, the SS Super-Marine, and thanks them for their times together and hopes to see them again someday as they leave. Marine returns to Southern Island and watches the sunrise with Blaze.

### Sonic Rivals

#### Prologue

Sonic the Hedgehog and his best buddy, Miles "Tails" Prower, investigate a mysterious land mass named 'Onyx Island', which has suddenly appeared as if out of nowhere. The heroic duo spot Dr. Eggman who is already waiting for them and confront him, suspecting that Eggman is plotting an evil scheme. Eggman reveals a card containing Amy Rose he took with a special camera, which shocks Sonic and Tails. Sonic does not believe in this, but Tails explains that it is scientifically possible for Amy to end up in her current state.

While Tails is conversing to Sonic about this, there is a sudden flash of light and Tails is gone, appearing as a card in Eggman's hand. Sonic panics in disbelief upon this sight and at that moment, Knuckles the Echidna appears and yells at Eggman for causing the Master Emerald to disappear. Eggman responds by showing him a card of the Master Emerald and announces his plan to achieve world domination by snapping everything with his camera to obtain the 'ultimate card collection' and issues Sonic and Knuckles a challenge to stop him and reclaim their desired cards before making his escape.

#### Sonic's Story

After accepting Eggman's challenge, Sonic races against Knuckles throughout Forest Falls Zone to reach Eggman first. After reaching Eggman, Sonic demands Tails and Amy's cards. His enemy responds that if Sonic could defeat his Egg Turtle, he may allow the hedgehog a card of his choosing. Knuckles angrily states that was not part of Eggman's deal, but Sonic is confident and accepts the challenge.

After defeating the Egg Turtle, a vindictive Eggman turns to leave afterwards. Sonic tries to chase him down before a silver hedgehog cuts him off, having business to take care of. Sonic was not too fond of the latter's haughty attitude and asked who he was. The hedgehog stated he was Silver and he needed to get to Eggman first. Not one to pass up a challenge, Sonic challenged his new rival. After a race against Silver through Colosseum Highway Zone, Sonic reaches Eggman and once again demands the cards from the angered scientist. Silver's attitude starts to get on Sonic's nerves and they both confront Eggman's Egg Falcon and each other.

As the fight concludes, Silver deems it too dangerous to get close and teleports Sonic to Sky Park Zone. Confused at his new surroundings, Sonic encounters Shadow and realizes he was looking for Eggman as well, leading to a race between the arch-rivals. Sonic comes out on top, feeling proud of himself for doing so. Eggman then appears and compliments his victory and issues Metal Sonic to race against him to see whether Sonic is really the fastest thing in the world. Sonic outraces his robotic counterpart, but Eggman's talk of something about the fastest and strongest dawns on him. He then meets Silver again and claims to have figured out the doctor's motives, causing the shocked Silver to race against him once again.

After racing through Crystal Mountain Zone, Sonic catches up to Eggman, proving to him that he is the fastest and the strongest, and demands Tails' card. Eggman, muttering to himself that he has enough data for an unknown purpose, intends to defeat Sonic so no one could interfere with him in the past or the future with the Egg Lynx. When that fails, Sonic finally retrieves Tails' card from the vengeful Eggman, restoring his friend to normal. Knuckles arrives and is shocked to see Tails restored. Sonic mocks that Knuckles will have to be quicker to stay on Eggman's heels, with the latter angrily retaliating by challenging Sonic to a race once again.

Racing through Death Yard Zone, Sonic beats Knuckles and catches up with Eggman, stating no matter where the doctor went he would always be found by the hedgehog. Unfettered, the doctor sends an upgraded Metal Sonic to race against Sonic, but the copy loses to its original once again. Growing frustrated, Dr. Eggman decides to team up with Metal Sonic against Sonic using the Egg Kong, but his adversary still defeats him. Eggman finally loses it and departs for outer space to use his special camera to turn the entire Mobius into a card. Knuckles and Tails arrives with a new Tornado plane so the trio can catch up to Eggman.

Riding to Eggman's Meteor Base Zone in outer-space, Sonic sets his differences with his rivals aside as they aid him to navigate through the base to find Eggman. Soon, with Knuckles and Shadow's help, Sonic and Tails spot Eggman trying to escape into a giant rocket with the special camera attached. Dr. Eggman claims that he would have enough energy to take a picture of the planet once he placed one final card into his energy transfer device. Sonic remembers it to be Amy's card, which he had forgotten about. Not intending to let Eggman succeed, Sonic confronts his archenemy on his rocket and defeats him before saving and restoring Amy. She is happy because of Sonic's heroic efforts to save her and suggests they could live happily together, but Sonic quickly comes up with an excuse to rescue other victims trapped in Eggman's cards.

#### Knuckles' Story

Knuckles arrives on Onyx Island looking for the Master Emerald while experiencing familiarity with the island. He sees Dr. Eggman and suspects him responsible for disappearance of the Master Emerald. The evil scientist admits this by showing the Master Emerald in a card and issues a challenge to the echidna if he wished to reclaim it. Knuckles has to race against Sonic, who also needs to catch Eggman to save Tails and Amy, through Forest Falls Zone. After reaching Eggman, Knuckles orders Eggman to maintain his promise to give him the Master Emerald's card. The sly doctor would only consider giving it if Knuckles beats the Egg Turtle, much to the latter's annoyance, who resolves to take it back using force.

After defeating the Egg Turtle, Eggman escapes into the light. Shadow then appears to mock Knuckles for allowing the doctor to escape. Not taking kindly to Shadow's insult, Knuckles angrily threatens to retaliate, until Shadow mentions having business with Eggman as well. Tempted, Knuckles races him throughout Colosseum Highway Zone. The two encounter Eggman, where Knuckles pushes Shadow's attempts for Eggman's secrets aside before demanding the Master Emerald. Annoyed, Eggman attacks them with his Egg Falcon.

After it is destroyed, Eggman seemingly wants to give the Master Emerald card to Knuckles only to trick him and make his escape again in the same light. Knuckles is then transported to Sky Park Zone, where he meets Silver who asks about what Eggman has. Knuckles explains that the scientist's camera could turn things into cards before asking for Silver's identity. Silver rudely responds that he had no time to waste with Knuckles before taking his leave with the red brawler chasing after him. Knuckles finds Eggman and wants to know how he managed to make the Master Emerald disappear from Angel Island in the first place, before the doctor gives a response that the land mass he is at currently is actually Angel Island, leaving Knuckles confused. Eggman then issues Metal Sonic to race against Knuckles.

Noting how similar Onyx and Angel Islands' landmasses are, Knuckles questions the possible dual identities before noticing Shadow. Confronting the black hedgehog on Eggman's whereabouts, Knuckles is mocked for letting the scientist escape him. Knuckles retaliates he was close and that Shadow had yet to catch him. Taunting Knuckles for being clueless, Shadow heads off to track down Eggman with Knuckles chasing after him through Crystal Mountain Zone. The bitter rivals confront Eggman, intending to settle their respective disputes with him. Knuckles demands an explanation for what Eggman said earlier. The increasingly annoyed scientist states Onyx Island could be Angel Island from the future, overwhelming Knuckles once more before he pits him and Shadow against the Egg Lynx.

With the Egg Lynx out of commission and Eggman having made another escape, Knuckles is now more confused with what Eggman has said. He then resolves to find him again and get a full answer before noticing Sonic with a restored Tails. Sonic asks if Knuckles had given up on finding the Master Emerald, who angrily challenges another race to Eggman through Death Yard Zone. Reaching Eggman, Knuckles demands full answers. Eggman reveals he turned the Master Emerald into a card from the future Angel Island. Since the emerald is an object that exists throughout the space-time continuum, when it vanished from the one time frame it ceased to exist in all others; which explains how it disappeared right in front of Knuckles, and used the Master Emerald's power to bring Onyx Island from the future to the present. This alerts Ground Zero, who Znuckles is already on the case. Having said this, Eggman directs a newly upgraded Metal Sonic at Knuckles. After winning another race with the robot, Knuckles is then victorious against both Metal Sonic and a vexed Eggman in the Egg Kong. Deeming this the last straw, Eggman goes into outer space to turn the world into a card. Sonic and Tails arrive with a new Tornado plane and pursue Eggman.

At Meteor Base Zone, Knuckles and Sonic work together to reach Eggman. Along the way, Silver realizes they must work together as well and aids Knuckles. Reaching Eggman, Knuckles sees that Eggman is almost ready to turn the world into a card. Taunting that the island will be part of his collection, Eggman reveals he just needs to place the Master Emerald's card to power up his camera, but not if Knuckles can help it. Knuckles stops Eggman and restores the Master Emerald, planning to place it back on Onyx Island and restore it to the future while finding all the other treasures Eggman turned into cards as well.

#### Shadow's Story

Shadow receives a message from Dr. Eggman, asking for his aid as there's someone after him. He instructs his acquaintance to follow the transmission's signal. On Onyx Island, Shadow notes the doctor disappeared six hours following the message and wonders what happened to him. He then sees Eggman being chased by a silver hedgehog and intervenes in the former's defense. The silver hedgehog is revealed to be Silver. In the hostile introduction, Eggman escapes into Forest Falls Zone as Shadow and Silver follow after him. Catching up to him, Shadow suspects Silver was who Eggman told him about in his transmission, only for the doctor to not recall such a transmission. Silver attempts to step in and explain, but Eggman, irritated at the confusing situation, sends the Egg Turtle.

Seeing Eggman's strange behavior, Shadow believes this has nothing to do with him and begins to take his leave before getting a call from his colleague, Rouge the Bat, stating to have some interesting information on Eggman. She instructs him to keep tailing Eggman while she gathers more intel. Knuckles comes along asking if Shadow saw Eggman. Shadow bluntly downgrades Knuckles for letting Eggman get away, calling him useless, getting an angry response and a threat. Shadow brushes this off and begins his objective: settling his business with Eggman. He and Knuckles race around Coliseum Highway Zone. Finding Eggman, Shadow demands answers on the secret Rouge had, perplexing the doctor again. Knuckles butts in, not caring what Eggman's hiding and demands the Master Emerald. Irritated and confused even more, Eggman utilizes his Egg Falcon.

In the aftermath, Rouge calls in. She tries to reveal what she found out about Eggman until she's cut off. Shadow tries to get her back, but to no avail. He is then transported to Sky Park Zone by a mysterious light. Soon he meets his arch-rival Sonic, who explains their predicament. Seeing they're both after Eggman, Sonic declares a race to apprehend him. Outrunning Sonic, Shadow confronts Eggman and demands explanations and the status of Rouge, and the doctor responds by showing a card. Shadow believes Eggman is playing card games until Eggman reveals Rouge, who he deems has found out too much, is in the card. Shadow demands the card, but Eggman unleashes Metal Sonic, wanting to see how unlike Sonic Shadow is.

After the race, Shadow concludes Rouge found out Eggman's secret, but was transformed into a card by him before she could reveal it. He then decides to find Eggman and figure out what it is. Knuckles appears again, asking about Eggman, but Shadow still hypocritically mocks him for letting the doctor escape. They race again, and confront Eggman in Crystal Mountain Zone. Shadow demands the secret Eggman is hiding, only to be shocked to see a card of Eggman himself! Knuckles cuts in and demands answers as well, but the agitated scientist arms his Egg Lynx.

After the skirmish, Shadow ponders how Eggman could have a card of himself before seeing Silver again. Recalling how everything started with his appearance, Shadow confronts him and receives a cryptic warning that Eggman might not be the real one, causing Shadow to realize the real Eggman has been turned into a card, shocking Silver. Suddenly, 'Eggman' appears to taunt them. Shadow, more determined than ever, resolves to finally get his answers, but Silver still has his business with this fiend as well. In Death Yard Zone, Shadow finally confronts the villain and demands his identity. Seeing Shadow has seen through him, 'Dr. Eggman' reveals himself as Eggman Nega, a descendant of Eggman himself. With Shadow knowing the truth, Eggman Nega attempts to dispose of him with Metal Sonic, who has been enhanced since last time. Shadow proves himself as the Ultimate Lifeform and bests Metal Sonic again. Shadow corners Nega, who is attempting to change the future, which is stopped by Znuckles from the shadows, and fights him in the Egg Kong along with Metal Sonic. Bested, the vexed doctor reaches his limit and decides to turn the whole world into a card, departing as soon as Silver arrives. Silver compliments Shadow for now seeing who the real foe is. Fortunately, the true Dr. Eggman, restored thanks to Shadow's efforts, appears to help and takes them to outer space for the final showdown.

At Meteor Base Zone, Silver offers his help which Shadow mildly accepts. The anti-hero later runs into Sonic who gives his arch-rival a hand too; as long as Sonic doesn't interfere. Shadow arrives at the base's center and notices the escape rocket that will be used to turn Mobius into a card. Shadow meets Nega and demands why he wants to change the future. Eggman Nega explains that he comes from a line of brilliant, scientific geniuses, but the lineage was disrupted by Eggman's many failures, causing the world of Nega's time to shun him. By getting Eggman and his failures, Nega will change their family history forever. With that said, he states that he just has to insert Rouge's card to complete his plan, but not if Shadow has anything to say about it. Nega is stopped and Rouge is saved, though she criticizes him for cutting it close. Shadow passes up helping in finding the other cards, much to Rouge's dismay.

#### Silver's Story

On Onyx Island, Silver confronts Dr. Eggman, until a black hedgehog intervenes on the doctor's defense. Eggman takes this opportunity to run, as the hedgehogs chase him into Forest Falls Zone. Catching up with Eggman, Shadow believes Silver was the person Eggman said about in his transmission until Silver replies he was merely asking about a character named 'Eggman Nega'. Eggman fiercely denies any connection to such a person before deploying the Egg Turtle. After the battle, Silver believes Eggman knows something. He offers to tell Silver, but only if he can beat a blue hedgehog. That hedgehog turns out to be Sonic, who is also after Eggman. After a tense introduction, Silver and Sonic race through Coliseum Highway Zone. Silver and Sonic still continue to clash even as they battle Eggman in his the Egg Falcon.

After these altercations, Silver encounters and asks a random individual about the strange object Eggman was carrying. The red figure says the scientist had a camera that could turn things into cards, before realizing his unfamiliarity with Silver. Silver just mumbles how Eggman got a hold of the device and just replies he has no time to explain it to someone like him before leaving. The character, named Knuckles, is offended by Silver's rudeness before chasing after him in Sky Park Zone. Losing Knuckles, Silver confronts Eggman again and asks how he gained possession of the camera, as its technology is too advanced in this time period. The doctor would gladly explain if Silver won a race with Metal Sonic, to which the latter confidently accepted.

After this, Silver wonders how Eggman got the camera until Sonic shows up again, claiming to know Eggman's next move and revealing it if Silver could keep up. In Crystal Mountain Zone, Silver starts putting the pieces together; as Eggman Nega wouldn't let it out of his supervision, deeming Eggman could be him. Eggman confidently asks if Silver has any proof for his theory, which Silver seems to have gained based on Eggman's interaction with Sonic.

After defeating the Egg Lynx, Silver finally comes to conclusions. Based on 'Eggman's' speech and mannerisms, he has to be Eggman Nega. Silver then wonders where the real Dr. Eggman is. Shadow comes along, asking for Silver's reason for chasing Eggman. Silver merely warns that Eggman might not be who they think he is, causing Shadow to exclaim that Eggman must have really been turned into a card, much to Silver's shock. With his suspicions confirmed, Silver and Shadow are confronted by 'Eggman'. Wanting the truth for themselves, the silver and black hedgehogs try to outpace each other through Death Yard Zone, with Silver coming on top. He then confronts 'Eggman', who reveals himself as Eggman Nega, who Silver has come to return him to the future and can't allow him to misuse the camera's power. Nega isn't coming quietly and uses the new and improved Metal Sonic to buy himself time to escape. Silver beats the mechanical hedgehog and demands Eggman Nega to return with him to the future, but the fiend won't let Silver interfere in his goal and battles with the Egg Kong and Metal Sonic. Silver still wins and Nega is pushed over the edge. Fed up with Silver's interference, he decides to turn the whole world into a card and escapes into space. Shadow arrives, realizing Silver was right as the latter commends him for figuring out the real villain. The one and true Dr. Eggman arrives, returned to normal thanks to the hedgehogs. Seeing they have a common enemy, he offers his assistance in getting them to outer space.

At Meteor Base Zone, Shadow offers to help Silver stop Eggman Nega. Progressing further, Silver is approached by Knuckles again, who advises him not to carry the weight of everything on his shoulders and offers help too. Silver then meets his archenemy for a final confrontation, but the latter is almost ready to go through with his plot. All he must do is transfer the cards' energy into the camera and he can turn the entire planet into a card. Silver is horrified as the future will be destroyed, with Nega commenting if he can't change it, he'll simply destroy it, but Silver refuses for this to happen. Stopping Nega, Silver sees Nega lose control of the machine and get turned into a card himself, apprehending him and placing him into his custody. Silver decides to clean up Nega's mess and find the other cards before heading back to the future, assured the present's welfare will be safe as long as a brave pair of blue and black hedgehogs, who he now has great deal of respect for, are around. Silver is somehow dragged back into the future via Znuckles' remote controller, he returns back to Ground Zero, with a mission well-done.

### Sonic and The Secret Rings

Sonic the Hedgehog is napping, upon awakening, he reaches to check his clock and accidentally grabs a ring. Shahra, the Genie of the Ring, pops out of a book of *Arabian Nights* and into Reality. She reveals that an evil entity from her world, the world of the *Arabian Nights*, Erazor Djinn is absorbing the power of the book and causing its pages and the world within to disappear. If he is not stopped, his power will be unleashed onto the real world unless the 'Legendary Blue Hedgehog' told of in the stories can stop him. Shahra gives Sonic a ring that seals a contract between her and her new master. Sonic rubs it as instructed and is asked for a wish. He sneezes from a cold and humorously asks for a few handkerchiefs. After doing so, he wishes to travel into the world of the *Arabian Nights* and flies into the book on a magic carpet.

As Sonic travels inside the book's Tunnel of Pages, Erazor approaches Sonic and he is shot in the chest with a flaming arrow that is slowly burning out like a fuse. Erazor then tells Sonic that he will remove the curse if he brings the seven World Rings, which are scattered throughout the worlds in the book. If he fails to do so, the arrow will burn until it eventually extinguishes along with Sonic's life force. With his life on the line, Sonic heads off to locate the World Rings for Erazor and Shahra continues to go along on Sonic's journey, feeling guilty for getting him involved. Sonic sets off into the world of Arabian Nights with goals of locating the seven World Rings, in hopes of understanding the mystery of their power.

The first place he searches is in the desert to search for the sultan, King Shahryar, the main character of the *Arabian Nights*, who resembles Dr. Eggman. Sonic first thinks that Eggman is behind the entire plot to erase the *Arabian Nights* world and attempts to question him. Shahra stops him and neither she nor King Shahryar know who Dr. Eggman is. After a short talk, King Shahryar is swooped up by a 'pterosaur' commanded by Erazor, which Sonic grudgingly saves him from. This leads up to the next world, Dinosaur Jungle. Depending on what levels the player decides to go to, Sonic will either go straight to Dinosaur Jungle, or go on farther in Sand Oasis to meet Ali Baba and fight the world's boss, the Sand Scorpion who holds one of the seven World Rings Sonic must collect. After the Yellow World Ring is picked up from the remains of the monster, it is revealed that whoever gathers up all seven World Rings will be offered as a sacrifice to open a gateway between worlds.

After Sonic clears the world, he moves onto the Evil Foundry, a large, metal, industrial-like stage, where Sonic confronts Erazor, who summons the Ifrit Golem, a gargantuan fire giant. Sonic and Shahra freeze time to escape, instead of confronting the overwhelmingly powerful Ifrit. Ali Baba thinks that they should find his friend, the wise Sinbad, to help them defeat the Ifrit. Sonic and Shahra go to the Levitated Ruin and free a trapped Sinbad, who tells them that the best way to destroy the Ifrit is to, splash some water on him. Sonic sarcastically replies and causes a feud between the two characters, thus emulating their real world relationship. Ali Baba forces his way between the two to stop the fighting and says the only problem with that plan was getting enough water to stop such a large fire golem. Sinbad replies that he was getting to that part before he was interrupted, saying that they would be able to get enough water to beat the Ifrit with the Water Blue Ring, a ring Sinbad used to control storms before it was stolen by pirates. Sonic heads off to Pirate Storm in order to confront the pirates and take back the Water Blue Ring. After defeating the world's boss and acquiring the ring, Shahra hands Sonic a mysterious relic and tells him to use it if he has no choice. The pair then return to the Evil Foundry to face off with the Ifrit.

After a challenging battle, Sonic defeats the Ifrit, but finds a time bomb. They escape and throw the time bomb into the air. It explodes, revealing the fire ring. As Sonic takes up the ring, he realizes the cause of the Ifrit Golem's anger. The seven World Rings contain various emotions, with this particular ring containing rage. Sonic then goes to the Skeleton Dome and meets the undead King Solomon, who has been turned into a floating skull by Erazor Djinn. Sonic agrees to confront the resurrected forty thieves and get the king his original body back. King Solomon then tells Sonic that he must face Erazor in his lair, knowing that Erazor is said to be a Genie of the Lamp, just like Shahra is Genie of the Ring. King Solomon is still weary and senses death approaching. Sonic then goes to the final world, Night Palace, where Erazor resides. After several challenging obstacles, Sonic finds and confronts Erazor Djinn. Sonic says the last world ring seems to be 'sealed with sadness' and Shahra reveals he is the genie from *Aladdin and the Magic Lamp*. After a heated battle, Erazor is defeated by Sonic. However, before he can be completely defeated, he escapes through a door and proceeds to lock it. The lock can only be opened by the seven World Rings, so Sonic returns to the different worlds of the *Arabian Nights* to locate the remaining Rings.

After Sonic collects the rings, the door opens and Erazor convinces Shahra to give him the seven World Rings that she and Sonic have collected. Shahra complies and reveals that she and Erazor were once together and that she wants to be back with him. Sonic rubs his ring and commands Shahra to do what she 'feels is right', causing her mind to crack at the two different choices she wants to make. Erazor tries to sacrifice Sonic, the collector of the World Rings, in order to gain their full power and gain the abilities of the creator. However, Shahra blocks Erazor's blade and is struck down in Sonic's place. As Shahra dies in his arms, Sonic makes one final wish for Shahra to grant, asking her to 'not die, and for things to go back to the way they were'. Although she does not have the power to grant the wish, the mysterious relic she gave to Sonic returns to its original state. Soon after, Erazor absorbs the power of the seven World Rings and transforms into Alf Layla wa-Layla. However, his transformation is not complete as he is required to sacrifice and absorb Sonic, the collector of the Rings. Suddenly, three of the World Rings infuse with Sonic, causing him to undergo a radical transformation into a new form, Darkspine Sonic.

After a vicious battle, Sonic destroys Alf Layla wa-Layla and Erazor is returned to his original state as well as Sonic. He is now controlling Erazor with his lamp, wishes to bring Shahra back to life, return the world back to normal, and for Erazor to be sealed away in the lamp forever. Erazor is forced by the power of the lamp to grant Sonic's wishes, even though he expresses a denial to do so, after which, he is sealed in his lamp forever. Shahra, though back to life, is still overcome with grief from her earlier betrayal of Sonic. He understands this, and wishes for mountains of handkerchiefs so she can cry for as long as she needs to, touchingly alluding to Sonic's previous joke.

Shahra, as the narrator, says that Sonic ran endlessly until he found his way back to his own world. He is said to have had many adventures along the way, some with Ali Baba and Sinbad, but Shahra states that these stories are 'for another time'. She then bids a touching farewell to Sonic, the "Legendary Hedgehog". The *Arabian Nights* book shows the beginning of *'Aladdin and the Magic Lamp',* which is followed by the title changing into '*Sonic and the Secret Rings'.*

### Sonic Rivals 2

The Chao have gone missing and Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower immediately get on the case to find them. It turns out that Eggman Nega has stolen the Chao and hidden them inside a haunted mansion. His plan is to feed them to an inter dimensional beast called the 'Ifrit' who needs to eat them to become invincible. After that, he plans to release the Ifrit into the world in order to destroy it. However, to open the portal to Ifrit's world, the seven Chaos Emeralds are required. Eggman Nega thusly hires Rouge to collect the Chaos Emeralds. The Master Emerald has also gone missing and Knuckles the Echidna teams up with Rouge to find it.

Meanwhile, Silver has returned from a now ruined future caused by the Ifrit. In order to make a new future, he steals the Chao that are left in order to hide them. He crosses paths with Espio the Chameleon, who is also on the case of the missing Chao, and they work together to save the world. The real Dr. Eggman sends Metal Sonic to find Shadow the Hedgehog, and lets them know of Nega's plans. Nega has learned of the Ifrit by accessing Professor Gerald Robotnik's journals, and Shadow and Metal set out to get the Chaos Emeralds before he does. Eggman uses Metal Sonic as a communication device to aid Shadow along the way. Ground Zero is yet again forced to sent a rookie by the name of Zilver to sort out this rift in space time.

All of the teams meet up at the Mystic Haunt Zone where the portal to Ifrit's world is. Despite Rouge only collecting six of the Emeralds, the portal opens anyway and Nega dispatches his new Metal Sonic version 3.0 to awaken the Ifrit. Despite possessing Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Rouge, the Ifrit is defeated by the other teams. Shadow and Metal Sonic close the portal and seal themselves and Eggman Nega in Ifrit's dimension. Metal Sonic reveals that the seventh Emerald was stored in his chassis and he and Shadow use Chaos Control to exit that world. Nega is left trapped under some rubble and unable to move.

Sonic and Tails take all the Chao to a Chao Garden, and Knuckles finds the Master Emerald from the Emerald Detector that he and Rouge stole from Eggman Nega. Rouge steals the Master Emerald and runs, and Silver returns to what he hopes is a happy future. Espio has to answer to Vector the Crocodile who has spent their client's advanced payment on late rental fees. Zilver make sure his prime counterpart returns to his future, and he returns as well.

### Sonic Riders Zero Gravity

#### Prologue

Tails discovers a legend regarding an artifact known as the 'Ark of the Cosmos', an item that can take matter and use it to control gravity. However, the Babylon Rogues, Sonic's well-known rivals, are also after the legendary artifact. This sets off a war over who gets the artifact, now leading them to settle their dispute by having an Extreme Gear competition.

#### Heroes's Story

Shooting stars crash into the Mobius. One crashes into the Crimson Tower and rolls into the back of a MeteorTech robot. It activates, along with others and goes on a rampage.

The next day, Team Heroes are on their way to Megalo Station in Monopole when they hear about the news on the radio. Tails gives Sonic a meteor, which he thinks might be from the events of last night. Soon, they are attacked by the robots, who seem to have recognized the meteor Sonic is holding and barely escape. While Tails and Knuckles use their respective flying and gliding abilities to distance themselves, Sonic almost falls from the summit of a 300-storey building, but fortunately, the meteor was able to stop his fall, clamping the object to his wrist. All three manage to escape from the city afterwards. Team Heroes then meets up with Amy, who says she was being pursued by the robots as well. As she hugs Sonic, she drops a similar meteor. Tails suddenly realizes that the robots are after the meteorites. They decide to go to MeteorTech to solve this mystery.

The team then arrives at MeteorTech and is greeted by the Babylon Rogues. Jet tries to force Amy to hand over something called the Ark of the Cosmos, but she is clueless as to what he is talking about. An alarm then sounds alerting the robots. Sonic and friends take off, leaving the Rogues in pursuit. Sonic and Jet unknowingly crash into Eggman in the main computer room of MeteorTech. When revealing himself, he reveals that he owns MeteorTech, causing his nemeses to accuse him of the robot rampage. He feigns he has no clue until he sees Sonic's meteor and is threatened by the blue hedgehog and Knuckles. Eggman reveals that his Mother computer hasn't been responding ever since he gave it a meteorite, which is why the robots are going out of control. He also says that the robot leader contains a stone. Jet remembers what he was there for, but realizes that Amy and Storm are missing. Eggman's computer shows that Storm is chasing Amy, but they are being followed by the MeteorTech robot's leader.

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles leave and find Amy at Aquatic Capital. She informs them that the robot self-destructed and Storm ran off with something that was previously inside the robot. She then says that Storm was going on about something he found in a place called 'Giga' or something along those lines. Knuckles then confirms it to be the Gigan Rocks, a famous ruin among treasure hunters. The team arrives at the rocks and find the treasure gone. When Knuckles reads an ancient script, they find that Babylon Garden is a spaceship powered by the Arks of the Cosmos and that a great darkness attacked it. Eggman then flies overhead with the Babylon Rogues' airship in pursuit. Sonic then says that they should catch up.

They arrive at MeteorTech's home tower and find Jet and the Rogues waiting. Wave confirms that Crimson Tower is MeteorTech's signal tower. Storm then says that the Arks they collected were stolen by Eggman. Jet challenges Sonic, with the prize being all the Arks of the Cosmos and title of 'Fastest Creature in the Universe' to whoever nabs Eggman first.

When they reach the top, Sonic and Jet enter at the same time and grab one of the two Arks he was holding. After bumping into his machine, Wave grabs the master Ark that fell out. After this, all robot operations are cancelled. Due to the five Arks being in the same place at once, it called down Babylon Garden. Seeing that he doesn't need the Arks of the Cosmos, Sonic hands all of them over to Jet. When Jet accuses Sonic of running away, Sonic states that he'll see Jet at the next World Grand Prix.

#### Babylon's Story

In the Gigan Rocks, when the Babylon Rogues are trying to get an Ark of the Cosmos at the Chalice. The Ark was held in a booby trap, so Jet punched in some keys on an ancient keyboard in Babylonians text, which was made by his Ancestor long ago. This deactivated the trap. Slowly, Jet grabbed the Ark of the Cosmos. No sooner than that, Wave saw a shooting star. There, she closed her eyes and put her hands together, making a wish. When she tells Storm what she's doing, he simply laughed, but not for long, as he saw Jet doing the same thing. Jet wished of having a power to beat him. Then, three more crashed down and caused a rumbling sound just as Storm was about to make a wish himself. This re-activated the trap, causing two boulders to come crashing down. It nearly crushed them until the Ark's power caused them to fly out of the way. Jet remarks that 'his wish already came true'. With this power, the Rogues escaped the ruins safely.

Back on the ship, Wave was analyzing the Ark of the Cosmos they found and explained it can charge up gravity and convert it to power the engine unit of Babylon Garden. She explains that there are five of them. Jet then orders her to create a radar to help find them. Storm then bursts in and shows a news report of a MeteorTech Mech stealing an Ark of the Cosmos from the Megalo City Museum. At seeing this, they set a course for Megalo Station. After going through Megalo Station, Jet tracks the robot to Botanical Kingdom where he destroys the robot, but loses the Ark. He searches the ground and discovers Sonic talking with the others. When Amy hugs Sonic, the Ark of the Cosmos she found falls out. Overhearing their conversation about MeteorTech, Wave and Storm appear and Wave suggests that they go ahead of Sonic and the others to gather information on MeteorTech.

They meet Sonic and friends at MeteorTech, but are cut short by guard robots. As Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Jet, and Wave ride off, Storm attempts to get the Ark of the Cosmos from Amy, only to get whacked by Amy's hammer. She then escapes with Storm in pursuit. They reach the Aquatic Capital and Amy throws the Ark at Storm's face. She then insists that he find away out when they are confronted by a MeteorTech robot, SCR-HD. After scanning Storm's Ark of the Cosmos, it blows up and reveals a second Ark. Storm runs off with both Arks and returns to the airship. Jet, happy that they now have three, is cut off by Wave's description of an ancient Babylonian text. After Jet gives up on trying to figure out what the lightless black is, he discovers that the two Arks are missing. Eggman then appears outside flying away with them, having sneaked inside while the Rogues were determining what to do.

They follow Eggman to the Crimson Tower where they waited for Sonic and the others. Jet then challenges Sonic and they reach the top of the tower. After Babylon Garden is called down, Tails thought about what was going on. So he put together the clues he thought about and figured it out. The damaged SCR-HD breaks in and steals all five Arks of the Cosmos from Wave. Tails informs Everyone out loud that the five Arks will make a giant black hole if put in Babylon Garden. After that, Eggman declares that massive energy readings are coming from Babylon Garden. A scene then shows the outer part of Babylon Garden falling off transforming it into Astral Babylon, the Babylonian spaceship and creating a black hole. Sonic, Jet, and everyone else rush to Astral Babylon's Mobius Strip to face SCR-HD's giant new form and disconnect the Arks of the Cosmos from the ship.

Afterwards, it shows Astral Babylon orbiting Mobius. Jet and the Rogues are atop a rock in the desert looking at it. After a quick conversation, they fly off on their gear. The scene then switches to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy, in Tails' vehicle driving through Megalo City. Tails explains how the ancient Babylonians warped to Mobius and left their engine unit in orbit. Then Amy theorizes that's probably why people started wishing on shooting stars. Shortly after, Sonic hears someone say his name in the tunnel. Jet rides up imposing a friendly challenge. The scene ends with Sonic and Jet racing through the tunnel.

### Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Dr. Eggman is defeated for good, with Knuckles, Amy, and Sonic distracting the scientist while Tails sabotages Eggman's ship, the Egg Carrier, which falls to Eggman's base in Metropolis. As all of his machines were destroyed and suspicious activity ceased, Dr. Eggman was presumed dead. As things had gone quiet, Sonic decided to go on a solo adventure around the Mobius, and the others thus went on their separate ways.

After some considerable time had passed, Sonic received a call from Tails while on his vacation, stating that Knuckles had been kidnapped. Traveling to Central City with Amy Rose to meet with Tails, they are escorted by Rouge the Bat to G.U.N. headquarters to meet the Commander. He informs them that they, along with Team Chaotix, have been watching the Marauders for some time and have managed to locate their hideouts, but searching them for Knuckles proved fruitless. However, Tails managed to find and fix broken communicators found at each hideout, which allows them to pinpoint the location of the Marauders' base in the Mystic Ruins.

Traveling by Tails' Tornado plane to avoid the soldiers guarding the Ruins, they meet up with Big the Cat who helps them locate the base, where they find Knuckles escaping from some robots. Leaving the base, they find Angel Island gone. Back at Tails' workshop, Tails develops an Eggman Tracker to locate Eggman and find out his connection to these events. After searching around previous areas for a while, including running into Shadow, Tails assembles a set of Eggman's devices the group discovered along the way to disable a force field they had located in Green Hill during their search. Inside, they find Eggman, who claims to be a reformed, revealing that he survived the crash of the Egg Carrier by anticipating his own defeat and making a robot that would rescue him and nurse him back to health. Eggman informs the team that Angel Island is being pulled to Metropolis, the location of the Marauders' main base.

Taking the Tornado once more to go to Blue Ridge Zone in order to enter Metropolis from there, they meet Shadow and join up in order to find E-123 Omega, who Shadow was looking for, but are attacked in Metropolis by Shade and her Marauders. Shade reveals herself to be an echidna of the Nocturnus Clan, leaving Knuckles, supposedly the last of the echidnas, shocked. After Sonic defeats her, she blocks the main pathway to Metropolis, but Eggman finds another route through a railway tunnel. Once there, Eggman tells them of a weapon in his lab that could help defeat the Marauders, provided he has the necessary parts. Dividing into two teams, one group, with Sonic and Knuckles, head to Angel Island to get the Master Emerald before the Marauders, and the other, led by Tails and Eggman, assists in making the weapon. Tails and his team develop a non-lethal weapon designed to return the Nocturnus to their unknown home. Meanwhile, Sonic's team infiltrates a Nocturnus airship headed for the island, but encounter problems when the enemy manages to disable the ship's weapon. Tails and Eggman use one of the remaining weapons in Metropolis to shoot down the surrounding ships to clear the way for Sonic, but accidentally shot the ship on which their friends are on, sending them onto Angel Island. Once on the Island, Sonic and Knuckles confront the Nocturnus leader, the Grand Imperator Ix, who reveals his plot to take over the dimension.

This revelation shocks Shade, who believed that Ix merely wanted to bring the Nocturnus Clan back to Mobius, for they had been sealed in the dimension called the Twilight Cage during the Argus Event caused by Uranus. It's minions come close to defeating Sonic and his team, but just as they are on the verge of defeat, Tails and Eggman arrive to save them, using a teleporter under Metropolis to get to the Island. They use their non-lethal weapon to transport several of the Nocturnus back to the Twilight Cage. The team fights Ix, but he escapes and steals the Master Emerald, causing Angel Island to fall from the sky. Ix sends the heroes and Shade flying away. Knuckles saves Shade as the island crashes into Metropolis. From there, the group witnesses Ix creating a wormhole which transports the Nocturnus back to their realm, ready to dominate. Tails and Eggman come up with a plan to follow him, deciding to build a vehicle that could cross into the dimension. However, the collision with Angel Island knocks the city's power out. Sonic and a reformed Shade team up to restore the power, and also retrieve a Dimensional Buffer to help Tails. The group leaves in the vehicle, dubbed the Cyclone, while Eggman remains behind, saying that he must make sure that they can return.

Once in the Twilight Cage, the Cyclone crash lands on a rocky planet, the Kron Colony, after being damaged during the inter-dimensional trip. Tails suggests that they can power the ship up with a Chaos Emerald, and locates one on the colony. The team are confronted by the Kron, giant rock creatures who believe them to be Nocturnus spies. The Kron are gifted weapon makers and were forced by Ix to create weapons and armor for his troops. The warehouse used by the Kron to produce these weapons is powered by a Chaos Emerald, and Sonic and team offer to liberate the colony from Ix's control. They manage to take the Emerald, and win the trust of the rock people, and travel onward. The Nocturnus home world of Nocturne is blocked off from the heroes by a force field, prompting them to visit the N'rrgal colony, the home of the slug-like, energy-leeching N'rrgal people.

The N'rrgal suck all the energy from the Cyclone, but Tails discovers that another Chaos Emerald is located on the planet. The N'rrgal queen meets the team and tells them that the bitter rivals of the N'rrgal race, the Zoah, are in possession of a powerful weapon, and that they cannot risk confronting them in battle. She offers their Chaos Emerald in return for the Zoah's weapon. Sonic and his team then head to the Zoah colony, where they must find and dispatch this 'weapon'. Upon talking to the Zoah leader, the team discovers that they are in allegiance to Ix, but only because he defeated their chief in single combat, and according to Zoah law, whoever defeats the leader can have any one favor from them, even the service of the entire race. Sonic challenges the leader to a battle, and frees the Zoah from their servitude. The leader gives them a Chaos Emerald, revealed to be the weapon given to them by Ix. The team realizes that Ix gave both the Zoah and N'rrgal Emeralds to keep the two races in check for his plans. Upon revealing this information to the leaders of the two races, they gain the trust of the Zoah and N'rrgal.

Tails finds two more Emeralds in the Voxai Colonies. The Voxai are a race at peace, capable of mental domination. However, the Overmind, a group of three Voxai who rule the colonies, are truly loyal to Ix, and have taken control of the citizens, corrupting their minds. The team lands on Voxai Colony Beta, and meets Thebes, a citizen who has escaped the control of the Overmind. He tells them of the source of the Overmind's power, the Chaos Emeralds, with which they were able to dominate the minds of all the people in the Voxai colonies. Thebes leads them to a teleporter to take them to Voxai Colony Alpha, which is guarded by a psychic field to block out trespassers. Once there, they confront and defeat the Overmind. Thebes becomes the new Voxai leader, and gives them the two Chaos Emeralds given to them by Ix. With the last two emeralds on Nocturne, the team gathers the leaders of the Kron, N'rrgal, Zoah, and Voxai to the Kron Colony, where they all team up and come up with a plan to invade Nocturne. The united races, led by Sonic and his team, launch an assault on the Nocturnus home world.

The Voxai find weaknesses in the force field around the planet, while the N'rrgal suck energy from it, and the Zoah launch a missile created by the Kron that can penetrate it. Sonic and his friends pass through the opening made by the united races, and encounter Prefect Charyb and Prefect Scylla, two Gizoids who wield the elements of water and fire, respectively, each with a Chaos Emerald. The group splits in two, Sonic and Tails leading one group and Knuckles and Shade leading the other. Knuckles is reluctant to kill Ix, believing that the Nocturnus can be saved, but promises not to let this belief interfere with the mission. The two teams lower the force field around Nocturne, allowing the forces from the other Twilight Cage races to enter. Sonic's team destroys Charyb, while Knuckles' team kills Scylla, each winning a Chaos Emerald. Knuckles' team confronts Ix in his throne room, while Sonic's team comes in from a balcony to witness the fight. Sonic at first believes that Knuckles is betraying them, but is proven wrong when he watches them fight. Knuckles wins the fight, followed by Sonic fighting Ix, causing Ix to run. Sonic's team then gets a second chance to fight him, and also emerges victorious while Knuckles retrieves the Master Emerald. Ix uses the Nocturne to achieve a Super Transformation. Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and defeats him.

As Nocturne begins to fall, and is nearly destroyed, the team escapes in the Cyclone and heads back to Mobius. Once back in Metropolis, they find Eggman waiting for them with a rebuilt empire, who immediately attempts to shoot them down. Apparently, time moves much slower in the Twilight Cage and what seemed to be only a short while has actually been several years on Mobius, giving Eggman plenty of time time to rebuild his empire.
