Later deeper inside Carnival Night, Sonic and the others have decided to take a rest. Tails and Twilight have decided to work on an invention Tails had started on. It looks like some sort of cannon. "So, how long have you worked on inventions?" Twilight asks. "Since I was young." Tails tells the pony. "Cool." Twilight says. "So, you have been a friends with Rainbow for how long?" Tails asks. "A few years. We started to become friends after-" Twilight begins. Suddenly, both Tails and Twilight are scared by sudden bolt of lightning that strikes next to them. "GAH!" The two of them yell. They both look upwards, and see a dark cloud, and hear laughter from the cloud. "Sonic! Rainbow!" Tails exclaims. Sonic and Rainbow Dash pop their heads from the top of the cloud. "Hey guys. You get any (chuckles) lightning weather lately?" Sonic asks. Twilight just scoffs at Sonic. "That was a dumb joke. Now, get down here..."Twilight tells the speedsters. Sonic and Rainbow Dash jump off the cloud and land next to their friends. "You have to admit, that was pretty funny." RD says. "No... That wasn't funny at ALL." Tails says. Sonic just chuckles at Tails. "Yeah, it was funny." Sonic tells Tails. Before the joke could escalate into an argument, Twilight changes the subject. "Is there any Chaos Emeralds nearby?" Twilight asks.

Tails checks his emerald scanner, and a small blip goes off. The blip points to the left of the heroes, but the only thing there is a solid brick wall. "Are you sure? There's only a wall there." Sonic tells his friend. Tails goes over the wall, and presses his left ear against it. Tails then knocks on the wall. There is a hollow sound coming from it. "The wall is hollow. Something is in there." Tails explains pointing at the wall. Sonic charges up a spin dash, and breaks the wall down. On the other side of the wall though, is nothing. "Huh? I thought you said there was an Chaos Emerald on the other side of this wall." RD says to Tails. Tails rechecks his emerald scanner, and sees the blip is gone. "I did. Someone must've got the Chaos Emerald before us." Tails says. "How is that possible? Only we can enter those stages as far as we know." Sonic tells Tails. Unknown to Sonic and the others though, some robots were watching them. The first one is Mecha Sonic, the other, is the pega-

I mean, Metal Rainbow Dash. "The targets seem to be having a hard time. Shall we get the drop on them?" Metal RD asks. "Not yet. Wait until their weakest, then we crush them." Mecha Sonic says, clenching his robotic fist. Then, the two robots head off to another possible Chaos Emerald location.

(Back with the heroes...)

Back with the heroes, they have reached some sort of blocky colorful platform inside a small hallway. The hallway only has the entrance, and that's it. "An entrance only? Lets go back." Sonic tells the others. Just as they turn back to the entrance, a small tremor happens, and the platform starts to move downwards. "An elevator? Sweet!" RD exclaims. But her excitement is short lived, as a robot starts to lower down on the heroes. It's shape... Ya don't wanna know... "Weird shape for a robot." Tails thinks. Then, a metal spiked platform pops out from the bottom of the robot, and starts to spin rapidly.
