~ Chapter 4 ~
Back to Jet, Wave, and Storm as they go to the door where Eggman was.
"Okay, let's go!"
Jet raises his control box up to the door. A bright light shines from within it, opening the door, revealing a large chamber inside with a door on the far end. The Babylon Rogues head towards while back outside, Amy is chasing Sonic in circles around Y/N, Tails, and Knuckles, but they stop as the Babylon Guardian lets out a growl.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
"What!? Hmm, finally something interesting." Sonic said.
Back in the chamber, Jet, Wave and Storm pass through the second door into an enormous and seemingly endless corridor. As they get a ways into the passage, the Babylon Guardian growls again.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The doors begin to close. Sonic, Y/N, & co. are in the chamber, heading for the corridor.
"Look Sonic! Y/N! The door's closing!" Tails said.
"Hurry up!"
They make it in just as the doors shut completely. With everyone sealed in the room, the Babylon Guardian makes his entrance.
"Greedy fools... Those who seek treasure will find only..."
"Whoa, what's this?" Sonic asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone found themselves in the dark race area where the start area is with the Babylon Guardian in front of them arms crossed. They all started up their hoverboard and flew after him as he flee away. Y/N noticed on the bottom of the Babylon Guardian is the bottle. Sonic immediately noticed it and boosted his hoverboard to go faster as he only got to knock it. He kept on going and once he's close, he managed to hit the bottle through. This hurt Guardian and he changed the reality to the black and white area. They went up in the air as Sonic did the indy and japan and landed. Y/N did the De Comply and then Feather Flip and landed. Everything changed back to where they are as they kept on chasing after Guardian. Y/N noticed that Sonic is behind them as she hoped he catch up to them soon. Y/N chased after the Babylon Guardian with Jet by her side. Babylon Guardian started blowing out purple fire towards them. They all quickly dodged it. Jet held out his hand to her, making her look at him in surprise. She nodded and took it and he began spinning her around.
With one final spin, Jet threw Y/N towards Babylon Guardian as she's now close. She brought out her giant fist whip, spun it, and threw it towards the bottle and hit it. He roared in pain and everything changed again to the black and white room. Y/N kept following after the genie. Sonic not too long came by next to her, making her smile. The hedgehog siblings jumped up in the air and did their own moves again and landed perfectly. The reality changed again as they're coming close to their final act as the Guardian is growing weak. The hedgehog siblings together boosted their hoverboard and jumped up in the air and did the same thing, but with different moves. With one last boost, they finally hit the bottle one more time, making the Guardian hold his head in pain and spin around as they made it to the finish line.
Everyone are now back to where they are in the blue room with the Babylon Guardian in front of them as his body begin to disappear.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The Babylon Guardian dissolves into light, leaving behind a treasure-chest. Sonic, Y/N, & Jet open the chest.
"Oh, it's...!" everyone shouted in surprise.
Eggman comes in, pointing two guns at the group.
"Hehehehehe! Too awestruck by the treasure to notice me, eh?"
"Eggman!!" Sonic and Y/N exclaimed.
"Now hand over the treasure!"
Sonic, Y/N, and Jet exchange laughs with each other.
"W-What's so funny? Hand over the treasure right now!"
"Okay, catch!"
Jet tosses Eggman the treasure; a carpet.
"Hehehehehe! The Treasure of Babylon is finally mine!" he stopped. "Huh? What is this thing? A piece of cloth..."
Eggman unfolds the carpet, letting a letter fall to the ground.
"Let's see... Ah, this looks interesting. 'At long last we've created our ultimate invention. With this, our lives will be easier, without the need to work so hard to keep ourselves flying. Stolen, the 13th leader of the Babylon Rogues...'"
Eggman picks up the carpet.
"It's amazing! The carpet's rich texture is a sight to behold! And the way it feels is extraordinary..."
He brushes it against his face.
"Something such as this could only have been created in Babylon! Undoubtedly, this carpet will be in high demand from all around the world. But... But what's this? No way... I went to the trouble of holding the World Grand Prix for... For this..? I... I can't believe I just wasted my time for this piece of junk."
Eggman collapses onto the floor from shock. Y/N started laughing, calling him a loser. Tails goes to the carpet.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Wave walks over.
"Good eyes. Didn't think you'd spot it for a second, shorty. But you did."
"Hey, what're you talking about?" Sonic asked.
"This, isn't just a piece of fabric." Wave said.
"Right, take a look at the material. It's the same stuff we use for our Extreme Gear." Tails said.
"You don't say..."
Jet pulls out his control box; the light inside it resonates, causing the carpet to float off the ground.
"Oh, it's..."
"Not sure, but maybe it's a prototype Gear..." Wave guessed.
"A magic carpet? I thought that those only existed in fiction." Sonic said in awe.
"Like from Aladdin!" Y/N said in excitement.
"That's quite funny, actually. I never imagined that we Babylonians could be descendants of real genies." Jet agreed.
"No kidding!!" Y/N said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sonic, Y/N, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Jet, Wave and Storm all look out at Babylon Garden from down below.
"So, you're leaving this place?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. The back of the carpet has more words of wisdom. It says, 'This was invented to allow Babylonians to travel all over the world to gather treasure.' Some things never change, huh? But enough of this friendly banter, Sonic. You better make sure you're ready when we meet face to face once again." Jet turned to Y/N. "You too, Y/N. Looking forward to see you again."
"You bet!" Sonic grinned at Jet.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Y/N said, smiling at Jet, making him blush.
"Come on, Jet. It's time to split."
Storm hits Wave on the back.
"Hey, I wanted to say that..."
Jet sighs, making Y/N giggle.
"We should split, too. Right?" Tails asked.
"Yeah." Sonic noded.
"Of course." Y/N nodded.
Jet, Sonic, and Y/N toss their boards in the air; leaping onto them, they move directly opposite each other. Curving back around, they jump through the sky, passing each other; their boards' engines' exhaust creating an 'X'. They look back at each other one last time, smirking. Wave and Storm dash on ahead - Jet follows, but speaks to Sonic, even though he can't hear.
"You may be the fastest, for now... but I'll be back, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
Jet then smiled at the thought of a certain light blue hedgehog.
"I'll be seeing you soon, Y/N the Hedgehog!"
Jet darts in between Storm and Wave, jumping off an arch in the sand.
(A/N: Not over yet! I'll be continuing on in the same book for Zero Gravity story! Just wanted to let you guys know!)
