After a few minutes, the group have finally made it to this loop that seems to direct them downwards. "Heh, a loop? Here? This better not be a trap..." Sonic says aloud. "It might not be a trap spikes. Who knows?" RD tells Sonic. Sonic just shrugs, then uses his spin dash to go along the loop. It leads him downwards, and straight into a small pool of water. "GAH!" Sonic yells as he felt his body hit the water with a hard thud. Sonic gets up, and is soon joined by the others, who are flying above him. "You okay Sonic?" Tails asks. Sonic doesn't even answer, he's really annoyed now. "Okay? I guess..." Twilight whispers. Sonic jumps up, and discovers his head can stick out of the water when he jumps. "Phew... At least I'll be able to breath." Sonic thinks. His relief is soon brought to fear as a orb like robot comes up behind him and tackles him. Sonic grunts in pain as the robot hits him. He collapses to the ground, only to see the robot coming for him again. Sonic quickly gets up and jumps out of the way of the robot, and tries to hit it. But the robot is surrounded by jets that just send Sonic flying upwards. "SONIC!" RD yells seeing Sonic being flung out of the water. That's when Rainbow Dash sees the robot come out of the water, and head for Sonic.

The robot's jets are deactivate as it heads for the blue hedgehog, giving Rainbow Dash a chance to hit the robot. Rainbow Dash quickly flies toward the robot, and tackles it toward the wall. This causes the robot to spark a bit, but not go down. Suddenly, a small pillar appears from under the water, and the robot lands on it. The robot starts to spin the pillar, causing a vortex in the water, that starts to suck in the others. As the robot does this, it completely forgets about Sonic, who is still in the air. Sonic sees the robot spinning the pillar, and goes into his ball form. Sonic quickly slams straight through the robot, causing it to explode, and the vortex to slow down. After the robot explodes, it seems to have dropped something in the pool of water. As Sonic gets up, he sees the dropped item, and sees it is the red Chaos Emerald. Sonic quickly grabs the Chaos Emerald, and looks towards his friends. They are still above the water, weak, but still above the water.

"You okay?" Sonic calls from underwater. "Yeah!" RD exclaims. Suddenly, the platform below Sonic collapses, and Sonic falls down it. "SONIC!" the other heroes yell as Sonic falls down. The others quickly rush to Sonic, and see he has landed to another landmass under the platform he was on. "Phew, he's safe" Tails thinks. The heroes look ahead of themselves, and see a wall blocking their way. The wall seems weak though, as if it could be broken through. Sonic curls up into a ball, and spin dashes toward the wall, causing the wall to break apart. "To easy." Sonic thinks. That's when, a small earthquake happens. Along with that, the wall behind the heroes starts to move towards them, with the intent of crushing the heroes. "RUN!" Sonic yells. Then the others start running, so they won't get smashed by the wall.
