[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
ON GROUND

The swatbots were still firing as Sonic and Sonia both crashed their metallic snow boards over
them deactivating them both.

EGG JET - INSIDE

Pilot: (to Robotnik) Two of our swatbots are deactivated, sir.

Robotnik: (slams fist left arm of chair) Damn it!

ON GROUND

Sonic used his spin dash attack to destroy 2 to 3 swatbots as Sonia used a SAW machine gun she
hid in the plane on them. Most of the swatbots exploded by their attacks.

ROOFTOP OF EGG JET

Knuckles was being overwhelmed by the lasers and every time he gets close to the cannon, the
turrets stagger him away from it. Knuckles was sweating a little on his forehead as he was now in
the middle again facing the turrets.

Knuckles: (panting)

What the turrets didn't know is that knuckles was once again behind the cannon. Knuckles soon
noticed it and had a wicked idea.

Knuckles: (grinned)

The turrets didn't make a sound or move until they noticed knuckles' movements before charging
lasers.

Knuckles: (whispers) That's right. Come on.

Then turrets then fired at the same time knuckles jumped out the way. The turrets firepower went
at the cannon destroying and malfunctioning on contact. The cannon lets out a surge of electricity
that shorted out the turrets in seconds.

EGG JET - INSIDE

(Alarm Blaring)

Robotnik: (to pilot) what the hell was that?!

Pilot: (paused) Sir, the cannon along with the turrets have been destroyed.

Robotnik: (slams both fists on chair's arms) Aaaaaaaaah!!!

ON GROUND

Lasers started hitting ground as Sonic and Sonia were nearly done with the swatbots when the
rear of the giant Egg jet opened letting out more swatbots and attack drones.

Robotnik: (from intercom) Destroy them!!

Sonic/Sonia: (shakes head) Damn it!

Sonic: (took out intercom) Tails, do you read me?!

Tails: (from intercom) Yeah.

Sonic: (on intercom) We're gonna need help, buddy. Get a laser rifle out from the back and come
down! (Ducks from a laser shot that hits the ground)

Tails: (from intercom) On my way.

Sonic: (to sonia) Let's take these guys on, shall we?

Sonia: We sh-

Sonia didn't get a chance to finish her statement when she saw laser fire colliding with the drones
and swatbots. Sonic and Sonia turned to see the chaotixs arriving and shooting at the swatbots
and the drones with their own attack drones. Some of the drones landing and exploded on contact
and some landed on the ground and exploded. The swatbots also exploded and were destroyed.

ON TAILS

Tails closed the back of the plane carrying a sack and ran to his friends. He soon made a leap from
the top of the hidden palace cave and started twirling his tails to hover in the air and firing the rifle
at most of the swtbots.

ON GROUND

Some of the swatbots were hit as the chaotixs started blasting away using the drones.

ON KNUCKLES

Knuckles took a flip leap from the giant jet and landed in a crouch on the ground before going
over and pounding on swatbots with his spiked knuckles.

ON TAILS

Tails soon landed next to sonic and handed him the bag he was carrying.

Tails: Thought you might need this!

Sonic: (takes it, looks in bag, takes out MP5 submarine gun) Thanks! (Cocks gun) Let's drive
'em out of here!

Sonic started using the submarine gun on the swatbots as most of them were deactivated and
destroyed.

ON ROBOTNIK

Pilot: Sir, our swatbots and drones are being outmaneuvered. Suggestions, sir.

Robotnik: (paused)

Pilot: Sir!

Robotnik: (growls) Suggest retreat.

Pilot: (on intercom) Attention all swatbots and drones. Stand down and return back!

OUTSIDE

Pilot: (from intercom) That is an order!

The swatbots and drones stands down an returns to the jet. Once all the swtabots and drones were
inside, the rear of the jet closes.

Sonic: (noticed) What's the matter, robuttnik?! You scared or something?! Don't stop now cause
I'm all fired up!

ON ROBOTNIK

Robotnik heard the hedgehog as he picked up the intercom.

Robotnik: (on intercom) Sonic The Hedgehog I presume. Well listen closely...

OUTSIDE

Robotnik: (from intercom) The next time we meet, you won't be so lucky.

Sonic: (chuckles) Luck has nothing to do with it!

Charmy: Get outta here!

Mighty: Go on!

Charmy/Espio: Beat it!

All the chaotixs including Sonic, tails, and the rest started botting robotnik out the island with
their words.

ON ROBOTNIK

Robotnik heard them all chanting "Get the hell out."

Robotnik: (growls lowly) Let's go.

The pilot activated the jet despites being a little low on energy as it flew away and back to base.
Sonic and the gang cheered on especially Sonia who hugs sonic and mistakenly kisses knuckles
which got everyone to stop and looks at them. Sonic definitely didn't see that coming and neither
did knuckles.

Sonia: (surprised, slowly releases the kiss from knux)

Knux: (blushes) Uh...I'm-I'm

Sonia: (cuts him off) No, I-I should apologize I mean-

Knux: (cuts her off) I didn't see it coming and

Sonic: (cuts them off) nobody saw it coming now leave it at that.

Sonia/Knux: (looks at sonic, paused)

Knux: Of course

Sonia: Yeah, sure.

Knux: Most definitely.

Sonic: All right. Let's get what we came for and save my brother.

Sonia: (looks at sonic) He's my brother too, you know.

Sonic: yeah. I meant that literally. He's our brother.

Sonic starts walking as the rest a=started heading towards the tunnel's barricade. Within minutes,
they got there.

Sonic: (to knux) you know how to open it?

Knux: (takes out crystal) Like unlocking a safe.

Sonic: (looks at crystal) What's that?

Knux: A Chao drive. I used it once to create a barricade for the palace so no one can get in. (looks at laser marks on barricade) Well, almost no one.

Sonic: (realizes something) Wait a minute.

Knux: (looks at sonic) What?

Sonia: Yeah, what?

Tails: What?

Sonic: (to Sonia and Tails) Ya'll keep out of this.

Sonia/Tails: But-

Sonic: (cuts them off) No buts. Shut it.

Sonia/Tails: (closes their mouths)

Sonic: (to knux) Now you're not telling me something. I don't know, but somehow, I get this feeling that you were shecking us out from the start.

Knux: (perplexed) Say what?

Sonic: Yeah. And if eggman found you, did you tell him where hidden palace was?

Knux: Uh-

Sonic: (cuts him off) Yes. You tell him where the emeralds are? Yes. But, you didn't tell him it was barricaded. Because if it was opened, it'll be easy for him to sanatch the emeralds to create god knows what to take over the world. So Eggman comes up with a bullshit excuse for you to think that we stole the emerald even though we just got here on the search and you just went along with it. (looks at chaotixs) Including you guys. (spreads arms out) What's up with that?

Sonia and Tails went wide-eyed and looked at knux and the chaotixs in utter surprise and disbelief as to what sonic revealed.

Sonia/Tails: Yeah. What's up with that?

Knuckles: (chuckles, shakes head)

Charmy: (hand on forehead) Oh, man.

Vector: Uh, well...

Sonic/Tails/Sonia: Well?

Knux: (hand on forehead) I-(chuckles) I just want to test you out, man. Know what I'm sayin'?

Charmy: I mean, you guys put up a hell of a fight.

Mighty: Real good.

Sonic: Oh, yeah. Sure.

Knux: No, I'm serious. I mean, it's been a long freaking time since I had a rival.

Sonic: (looks at knux) Rival? Man, who you think you playin' with, bro?

Sonia: Yeah.

Sonic: (looks at Sonia) Sonia, enough with the "Yeah" already. You sound like Manic.

Sonia: (ignoring the insult) Yeah, yeah.

Knux: Alright, alright. Let's get this over with.

Sonic/Tails/Sonia: We heard that.

Knuckles stepped forward in front of the barricade and cupped the chao drive in hand before closing his eyes to concentrate.

Tails: (to sonic, whispers) What is he doing?

Sonic: (whispers) How the hell should I know? My first time here.

Knuckles started concetrating as the chao drive started glowing a greenish-read and blue color. It was so bright that sonic, Sonia, Tails, and the chaotixs shield their eyes. Over the light, you could see the barricade disappear like a hologram as the light soon dims away. Sonic and the others opened thier eyes to find the barricade gone with the open entrance to hidden palace. Sonic, Sonia, and Tails looked in amazement at how the palace looks. (A/N: Like in Sonic and Knuckles)

Sonic: (not looking at sonia, wide-eyed) Sonia, call mom.

Sonia: (same state) Sure. (took out cell phone, dials)

ON ALEENA

Aleena just had her 5th pack of cigarettes and still had the fan on waiting patiently for her children's to return as her ash tray was getting full. She looked at manic, who was still unconscious, and looked at the meter which is dropping to 60.

Aleena: (blows out smoke, shakes head, worried) Jesus.

(Phone rings)

Aleena jumped out the bed and answered the phone.

Aleena: (on phone, desperate) Yeah. Hello? Hello?

Sonia: (from phone) Mom, relax.

ON SONIA

Sonia: (on phone) We're in hidden palace.

ON ALEENA

Aleena: (sighs in relief) Thanks god, you're all right.

Sonia: (from phone) How's manny?

Aleena: (on phone, sighs) I just checked the meter. His blood pressure is dropping to 60 as well as his body tempature.

ON SONIA

Sonia: (closes eyes in shame) Oh, man.

Aleena: (from phone) You guys gotta hurry.

Sonia: (on phone) Okay, mom. Take care.

ON ALEENA

Aleena: (whispers) You too. (paused) I love you, sweetheart.

Sonia: (from phone, whispers) Love you too, mom.

ON ALEENA

Aleena: (on phone) Bye.

ON SONIA

Sonia: (from phone) Bye. (hung up)

Sonic: Well?

Sonia: (paused) His temperature and blood pressure is dropping to 60. (looks at sonic) We got to hurry.

Sonic: Don't worry. We'll make it. (to knux) Right, knux?

Knux: No doubt. Come on.

Sonic: (nods)

Sonic and the gangs head in the palace to the center where the emeralds are hidden. They were conversing on the way.

Sonic: (on tails) So tails...

Tails: Mmm?

Sonic: Never told me you could fly.

Tails: You never asked.

Sonic: (chcuckles) That was tight, by the way.

Tails: Tahnks. Usually I get teased but hardly anyone says that to me.

Sonic: Well it's a first time for everything, right?

Tails: (chuckles) Right.

Sonic: (puts arm around tails' shoulder)

They all kept walking til they got to the center of the place.

CENTER OF HIDDEN PALACE

The gang soon entered the center as Sonic, Tails, and Sonia were in total disbelief and surprised at the same time. The center of the cave has lots of crystals inside on walls. What caught sonic's attention were 14 emeralds. 7 were Chao emeralds and 7 were super emeralds.

Sonic: (not looking at them) Sonia, Tails.

Sonia: What?

Sonic: (points to emeralds)

Sonia and Tails looked at the emeralds in total disbelief and utter surprise.

Sonia/Tails: (eyes like emerald) Oh, my god.

Both their eyes were shining like emeralds. All 14 emeralds were on staff. 7 Chaos Emerald (red, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple, gray) and 7 super emerald (Same colors)

Sonic: Jesus. I never thought such emeralds should exist on this island. And yet, I didn't believe it.

Knux: Believe it. So, uh, which one?

Sonic: (looks at knux) Huh?

Knux: (looks at sonic) You zone out a lot, don't you?

Sonia/Tails: (snickers)

Sonic: (to Sonia and Tails) Ahem.

Sonia/Tails: (paused)

Sonic: (to knux) Uh...T-the red one.

Knux: Awesome choice.

Knuckles went and took the chao emerald off the staff when...

Voice: Going somewhere with that?

Everyone turned to the new voice to find Tikal Echidna coming out from another room where the master emerald is.

Knuckles: (surprised) T-tikal.

Tikal: Hello knuckles. (approaches knux, sees sonic, sonia, and tails)

Sonic: (noticed) Oh, I- I'm-I'm--

Tikal: (cuts him off) Sonic Hedgehog and don't ask.

Sonic: (paused)

Knux: H-how did you get out the emerald? Where's Chaos 0?

Tikal: He's still trapped inside the emerald. I focuesed my powers and the master emeralds power together but I'm only out temporarily.

Knuckles: Oh.

Tikal: Now, answer the question.

Knux: My...friends here needs help healing a family member.

Tikal: Oh?

Knux: Yeah. He got wounded and they need our help in finding the emerald.

Tikal: (thinks about it)

Knux: (noticed) We'll bring it back. I swear to you on that.

Tikal: (looks at knux, smiles) Okay. Be sure you don't get into trouble.

Sonic/Sonia/Tails: Been there, done that!

Tikal: (looks at them, then at knux)

Knux: There was a battle before we got here.

Tikal: (nods) I see.

Sonic: Look, I'm-I'm sorry to interrupt but, uh, can we go now?

Sonia: Please? My brother is time-limited on this.

Tikal: (chuckles) Yes. Gon on.

Knux: (hugs tikal) Thanks.

Tikal: Your welcome.

Sonia/Tails/Chaotixs: (smiles) Ooooohhhhh!

Knux: (looks at them) Shut up!

Sonic: (chuckles) I'm just playin' with you dawg. Come on, let's go. (to tails) Where's the plane?

OUTSIDE

The tornado X was flaying in the sky and heading back to the surface.
