"How in the hell do they keep coming?!"

Sonic, Tails, Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Belle still find themselves surrounded by several Egg Keepers and exploding Beats.

"Who knows how many could be packed inside the walls," Tails said.

"Doesn't matter this isn't going to hold forever!" Rainbow exclaimed as they kept closing in.

"I've got an idea-- Pinkie fired when I give you the signal!" Twilight said.

"Locked and Loaded!" Pinkie armed her cannon.

"Now! Everyone else, run for it!" As soon as Twilight and the rest had gotten far away Pinkie had her cannon to full blast and every badnik was scrap metal and everyone was out of the base.

"That was fun!" Sonic exclaimed.

"That was horrifying!" Belle retorted.

"That's pretty normal for us," Twilight said then felt a Horn Pulse. "We should let the others know-- I got something from Rarity."

Twilight, we've got trouble on our end. Rouge needs Tails to meet her in White Park, and have the rest of us drop at the chateau to help the rest of us.

"She's saying that Rouge needs Tails, and for us to help out Amy and the others," Twilight explained.

"We need to get to move on," Rainbow said.

"Wait! Could get a ride, maybe?" Belle asked.

"Of course," Twilight said.

"Thank goodness."

"Alright let's fly!" Tails said.

"Well, get on!" Pinkie pushed Belle onto the plane "And P.S. you might want to hold tight."

"What do mean by that?" Belle asked nervously.

Moments later At the chateau, Sonic and Belle meet up with Amy who hugs the former and says that she knew he would come. When Sonic expresses surprise at this, Amy reveals that she did not actually know but she was not complaining. She says that she came down here to see if she could find Rouge as she left to call Tails; they needed Tails' help in figuring out which parts to take. According to Sonic, Tails was not with him as they heard from Rouge that she needed him for an emergency. Amy says that she knew nothing about that; though there were some snags, she would not call it an emergency. With this, Amy asks Sonic to follow her up to the penthouse to see if he could bust open something. Before this, Amy is introduced to Belle. In the penthouse, Sonic is greeted by a troubled Cream who tells him that they could not break open the cage holding the captive Chao without hurting them, and there were many locks. Hearing this, Belle exclaims that she can do locks. She opens her fingers revealing several handyman tools and states that she was the person to turn to for anything that needed tinkering with. Cream is overjoyed at this while Sonic is left slightly stunned. While Cream and Belle formally introduce themselves to each other, Sonic asks Amy what is wrong. She explains that she has a bad feeling about Rouge and Tails; if Rouge changed the plan, she should have told her. After declaring that they need to find them, Sonic says that he will do a sweep outside and find them. After he leaves, Cream asks where Sonic went to. Amy explains that he went to get Tails and would be right back. Gemerl states that their situation is still extremely tenuous and they did not have the time. Before the robot could finish his sentence, the lights are turned off and they hear a chilling laugh.

Clutch managed to escape, saying that he pretended to remain unconscious for a while. Raising up her hammer, Amy calls Clutch to come out and fight fair. Clutch instead takes a shot at Amy with his cane. He explains that he leaves his door unlocked because the people who know why are not foolish enough to cross him; those who do not, according to him, will not make it out alive. Clicking a button on his cufflink, Clutch flees the scene and says his goodbyes to the group. Out from the shadows, a Snowy emerges. Amy and Gemerl prepare to battle the Badnik, only to see that more Badniks were activating and surrounding Cream, Cheese, and Belle. Amy tells Gemerl to help Cream while she handles Snowy on her own. The large Badnik takes a swing at her which she dodges. The hedgehog hits Snowy with her hammer but it barely dents it. She runs away from the Badnik as it tries to attack her, and she gives wants Sonic to be present. Amy snaps herself out of it as if she was not going to let the Badnik push her around and handle it herself. Declaring that being in charge of the Restoration was tougher than anything it can throw at her and beating robots like it was her specialty, Amy hits a piece of furniture at the Snowy. This angers the Badnik and it continues to pursue Amy.

Nearby, Tails wakes up restrained next to a tied-up Rouge on a roller coaster, with a hooded figure in the front seat.

"What the heck?! I landed the Tornado where you said you attacked me! Why--"

"I didn't not of my free will."

"What do you mean?"

"I was hypnotized, hard to believe right?"

"But why?"

"Now, now, let's not ruin the moment, I hope you are a bit of a challenge, Rouge but even you can fall under mind control!" The figure exclaimed.

"Any luck, Dash?" Sonic asked.

"Nope," Rainbow Dash replied while looking for them.

"If I were a kid genius and/ or super-spy where would I be..." Sonic said then spotted them. "There we go."

"Let's get to the bottom of this!" Rainbow Dash said as they approached them.

"Excellent... it's nearly time for my big scene," the hooded figure sees Sonic, they throw one of the carts at him to knock him off of his balance and off of the tracks. Luckily for the hedgehog, he is rescued by Shadow.

"You couldn't dodge that?" Shadow asked.

"Oh hi, Shadow, nice to see you."

"Out of my way."

"Thanks for the save, so you after the coaster, too?" Rainbow asked.

"I had the wrong man, but not this time!"

"I'll take that as a 'yes," Rainbow simply said as three were right behind and Rainbow got the figure's attention. "Hey, jackass! It's rude to throw roller coasters at people!"

"Sonic! Rainbow! Watch out-"

"I'll handle the dramatic reveal, sidekick," The figure turns out to be Dr. Starline.

"Starlame, where the hell you have been hiding?"

"None of your business, Miss Dash, but I've got places to be."

"Don't worry, we'll make this quick!" Sonic exclaimed.

"Wait I have yet to spring my surprise on you and should happen right now!"

An explosion occurs at a nearby mountain that causes an avalanche heading straight for the chateau.

"We had such fun in the snow last time, I thought you might enjoy an encore!" Starline exclaimed. "So what'll it be? Save your friends or the hundred innocents in the chateau?"
