At Tails' workshop; Tails was almost finished with his new upgraded plane that will be fast enough to travel from different places than a regular airplane.

"Should I call them?" Knuckles asked Tails.

"Yes, dial them and tell them the plane is almost finished" Tails said. Knuckles picks up his iPhone and dials Nebula's number.

"So which place are we traveling to? Mexico?" Knuckles asked while waiting for Nebula to answer the phone.

"Yep, Mexico where the red chaos emerald is at" Tails said.

"Alright then. Oh, hi Nebula. Tails is almost finished with the plane" Knuckles got finally contact with Nebula.

"Okay. Shadow and I will be on our way. Is Silver and Blaze there with you?" Nebula asked.

"Yup, they're here with us" Knuckles said.

"Good. Bye" Nebula hung up. Knuckles then turns back to Tails and saw Silver and Blaze get in with their backpacks and equipment.

"Are you guys ready for this?" Knuckles asked them.

"Yep, always ready. I better not let my naïve side take over" Silver said.

"You're so naïve, Silver. That's what I like about you" Blaze said.

"Okay. But I like you because you are hot, literally" Silver said.

"Because I got fire powers?" Blaze giggled.

"Yup" Silver smiled and hugs her. Tails shook his head with a smile while looking at them.

"This version of Tornado is taxi-plane built this time to take 6 passengers now. It will protect us from storms and lightning in the sky" Tails said.

"Also it doesn't run out of fuel?" Silver guessed.

"Yes, so no one needs to worry about it" Tails said.

Eventually, Shadow and Nebula arrived at the workshop. Shadow was holding a cute purple non-mobian hedgehog plushie that he got from the Zoo gift shop.

"I got this from Nebula as a gift" Shadow said with a small blush.

"You're funny Shadow. For a few days I mistook you for a threat, but you are just a tough alien" Silver joked.

"Thanks....Silver" Shadow said.

"Well are you guys ready for takeoff?" Tails asked them all.

"Yup. Guys and girls take a seat" Knuckles tells the others while going to open the gate. The hedgehogs, Blaze and Tails got into the plane and Tails sits on the pilot seat. Knuckles joined in as well after opening the gate and closed the door.

"Fasten your seatbelts!" Tails tells them.

"This looks different than a space-craft? Can it fly into outer-space or something?" Shadow asked.

"No, only on Earth" Nebula said.

"Alright, ready to lift!" Tails pulled the lever to make the upgraded Tornado lift off, it flew in full speed out from the workshop and it shakes a little as it lifted.

But eventually it stops shaking and they set course for Mexico at Mexico City.

In outer-space, Eclipse was getting close to Earth and he contacts Black Doom.

"I'm right at Earth now father, I'm gonna be the one taking the Chaos Emeralds so we can be invincible" Eclipse said.

"Good, convince Shadow to turn his back on his 'friends' and make sure he kills this one" Black Doom showed an image of Nebula on the screen.

"Rawr. She's pretty. But first, I need to spy on Shadow with those earthlings just to be sure they found all the emeralds and then I'll kill them in the end" Eclipse said.

"Good, but I want Shadow alive. Black Doom out" Black Doom said.

"Copy that father. I will bring him in" Eclipse said, setting course to Mexico by his tracker device that tracks Shadow's DNA.

Shadow and his earthling friends arrived to Mexico City; Tails asked Silver to speak Spanish to the mobian that works at the place that builds planes and other flying vehicles. For to take care of Tails' upgraded plane and to be sure it's safe from harm.

"¿Discúlpeme? ¿Puedes por favor, tenga mucho cuidado de nuestro avión? Estamos en una misión en este momento" Silver spoke in Spanish.

(Eng: Excuse me? Can you please take good care of our plane? We're on a mission right now.)

"Eso requeriría 50 pesos por un día. ¿Lo tienes?" the Mexican mobian rat said.

(Eng: That would require 50 pesos for a day. You got it?)

"What did he say?" Tails asked Silver.

"He said it cost 50 pesos for a day" Silver said.

"Tell him we only have US dollars" Knuckles said.

"Okay" Silver nods, turning to the Rat, "¿Podemos utilizar dólares estadounidenses? Es el único dinero que tenemos" Silver said, holding out 50 dollars.

(Eng: Can we use US dollars? It is the only money we have.)

"Si por supuesto. Puedo aceptar eso, señor" the rat said in Spanish.

(Eng: Yes, of course. We can accept that, sir.)

"Gracias amigo" Silver said and gives him the dollars.

"Alright lets go find the chaos emerald" Shadow said, at the same time he was unsure to tell the truth that Black Doom wants to be invincible by the emeralds.

Later they drove through the forest in a car. But Shadow hover-skates near them.

"According to the radar, the blue chaos emerald is inside a temple" Tails said.

"Let me guess. It's an ancient one?" Knuckles said.

"Yep. We are getting close. How are you Shadow?" Tails asked Shadow.

"Just fine, I do see a temple right in front of us!" Shadow said. They parked in front of it and got out from the car.

"Well, this is it" Nebula said. They got into the temple to then find a large wheel on the ground with two levers, one in the middle and one on the edge.

"If we rotate this right we can find a way" Tails said.

"I got this" Shadow steps in and turns on the one in the middle.

He makes the black block point downward before going to the edge to turn on it to the right to allow the middle black brick to be moved.

"I'll help him" Nebula goes to the middle and turns on the block in the middle to make it point downward again. Shadow turns the edge downward too and then down the ruins, the floor moved.

They all stepped back away and watched what it's trying to do.

"Looks like a way in or something" Silver guessed.

"Let's find out" Blaze said.

"But we have to be careful. Who knows what booby traps they have" Knuckles said.

They all turn on each flashlight and goes down in the temple. Nebula really hates spider webs in ancient temples, especially creepy spiders walking all over the place.

"Eww.....I hate spider webs" Nebula said.

"What else can happen? Spiders have a deadly bite?" Shadow guessed. Nebula nods and they continue to walk in the temple. They come to a pit where some hissing noises are coming from. They looked down to see snakes slither among the spikes.

"Silver, can you move us over the pit? I'll fly over" Nebula said to Silver.

"Okay then, hold still" Silver said, using his ESP powers on Knuckles, Blaze and Shadow. But Tails and Nebula simply flies over. Silver comes after them and lands on the other side.

"Man, I'm starting to feel like this is Indiana Jones" Silver said.

"But with you having no rope" Tails joked.

"Okay, Short Round" Silver joked back.

"Very funny, Silver. We are getting closer to the emerald" Tails said.

The gang then came up to a stair and saw something shiny lying on a pedestal.

"Careful, we don't know if some booby-traps are here in this chamber!" Knuckles stops the gang.

"Throw something just to be sure" Nebula said.

"Okay" Knuckles picked up a stone and tossed it. As it landed, the stone block loosened and fell down into the ground.

"The floor is unstable, someone who can fly must take it" Knuckles said.

"I'll go get it" Silver said and flies over, landing near the pedestal and picks up the red chaos emerald.

"Great, now come back" Blaze called for him.

"Okay" Silver is about to levitate when he accidently steps on a brick, making it loosen and fall, also making him lose balance.

"WHOA!!" Silver hangs onto the edge when more of the floor fell down into the hole.

"Come on Silver! Fly!" Blaze screamed.

"I can't in this position!" Silver hanged with one hand, with the chaos emerald in the other hand.

"Hang on, Silver!" Nebula flies down to the hole and back up to grab him. Silver got carried by her and hangs onto her.

"Thanks Nebula. Now let's get out of here" Silver said, getting carried by Nebula to the others. Blaze went up to Silver and hugs him.

"You were brave enough to get it though" she said to him.

"Yup. Now let's go" Silver said.
