Y/N who's wearing the black masked helmet and the Babylon Rogues fly down into the temple as they skid to a stop to where they can see the wall with a picture what's supposed to be the Babylon Garden as Jet told Y/N about along with some unknown ancient history words that only Knuckles can understand since he's been taught to know those kinds of words.

"Oh yeah. This is the place." Jet grinned.

In the middle of the temple is the blue cube floating in the pedestal.

"To think we must've flown over the Gigan Mountains a hundred times, and this was hiding here all the while!"

Wave pulled out the old book.

"Well, it wouldn't have been so easy to find without this book we cam across after that Sol Emerald fiasco!"

"Well, I blamed you all and my friends for the cause of that just because that sol emerald is so rare, doesn't you can steal it when it belongs to Blaze and her people. Without it, they would've been wiped out along with her. Would that happen to you all if something like that happens?" Y/N stated, slightly glaring at them.

Storm gulped and quickly changed the subject as Jet and Wave smiled nervously.

"Uh... Hey! When I heard that guy in the tavern talkin' about 'Gold Leaf,' I thought he meant a magic treasure tree or somethin'!"

"Yeah, I guess our trip to that dusty old library in Soleanna wasn't a complete waste of time." Jet agreed.

"Oh, come on. The library wasn't a waste of time. It's called being smart and knowing so many good things and imagine things." Y/N said, pulling out one of the books she took. "This book called 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' is amazing!"

"Hmph... Books... Well, that's the last time we follow one of your leads, featherbrain. Lucky thing Wave noticed the Babylonian writing on that book as we were leaving since it leads us straight to this. The key to Babylon Garden!"

Jet gazed upon the blue cube before turning to Wave.

"This is the key to Babylon Garden, right?"

"Yes." she rolled her eyes, seeing where this is going.

"We are in the right place, right?"

"Yes."

"You do know how to read that book, right? Right?"

"Yes, Jet. I can read ancient Babylonian!"

Y/N snickered at that.

"I knew it! And that old fool thought he would be the one to find it. I remember the smug look on the Battle Lord's face. I can't wait to wipe it off! That old did. He'll see some fervor once we find Babylon Garden!"

"And that glowy cube is the key to the Babylon Garden, right?"

"Yes, Storm, it is."

"So what is the Babylon Garden anyway? I've never heard of it." Y/N asked as Storm thought the same thing.

"Well, no one knows for sure. The garden was lost long before even the rise of the Battle Kukkus. Some say it's a great treasure trove of wealth and knowledge. Some think it might be a fortress or an ancient weapon of some kind." Wave explained.

"So no flowers?" Storm asked with a disappointed frown.

"Probably not."

Jet reaches for the cube.

"Who wants flowers anyhow? The glory of finding it is what I'm after!"

"Be careful, Jet! It may be boobytrapped!" Y/N warned.

"She's right, you know!" Wave agreed.

"We've been hunting treasure a long time, Y/N. I know a trap when I see one!"

He then grabbed the cube and suddenly, the whole beneath the cube clicked something, causing the room to go humming.

"Uh, Jet? You sure this ain't a trap?" Storm asked nervously.

"Something is powering up!" Wave exclaimed.

"What's powering up?" Y/N asked, pulling out her katana.

Just then, the purple glitchy tornado spins out of the hole as the door was closed behind them. It then reveal a purple genie; the Babylon Guardian.

"Halt! Thou hast taken that which hath been placed here by the children of Babylon! Return what thou hast removed or face the consequence! So speaketh Angelus, Babylon Guardian!"

Wave and Y/N noticed the machine attached to the wall above their head.

"Hmm. This 'Angelus' appears to be a hologram. I can see a projector up above."

"Just a hologram? How's a bunch of recorded light patterns gonna stop us? Hey, Angelus! I'm takething this cube! What are you gonna doeth about it?"

A giant sword was slammed against the ground as soon as Jet quickly dodged it.

"Maybe you shouldn'ta asked, Jet." Storm said as they fly onto their Extreme Gear to get away from Angelus.

"Ya think?!"

"Ah! Force field enhanced holography allowing for corporeal interaction. I had no idea the ancient Babylonians were so technically advanced!"

"Fascinating! How do we make this high-tech watchdog heel?" Jet exclaimed.

Wave sat in crisscross as Storm back away from the giant sword.

"If the force fields are disabled, the reconstruction beams will cease to have any tangible effects, thus reverting the hologram to a purely visual state and rendering it harmless."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Storm asked.

"Smash the shiny projectors!"

Wave brought her hands down and lift her feet up and spin herself and kicked the projector away, breaking it into pieces. Y/N noticed that Angelus is slowly getting glitchy as the holes appear on his body.

"That's what I'm talkin' about!"

Storm goes over to the next projector when the giant sword slammed against the wall to protect it.

"Er, maybe not."

"Cease thy attempts at destruction. Clearly thou art not worthy to wield the key that unchaineth the Divine Wings." Angelus ordered.

Jet goes over and pulled Angelus by the necklace to get his attention.

"Divine Wings, huh? Who could be more worthy than the fastest bird in the world?"

"Thy arrogance far outstrips thy speed."

Angelus grabbed Jet's Extreme Gear, stopping him.

"What the—!"

He then threw him over.

"Hey, big guy! I'm a bird! I don't need flying lessons!"

Storm quickly grabbed the giant pillar to bring it down for Jet to land.

"Uh, don't worry, boss! I gotcha!"

Jet accidentally let go of the cube.

"Wave! Catch the key!!"

Y/N quickly threw the kunai towards the projector, seeing the genie was distracted and the machine broke into pieces. She quickly fly over to Jet who's about to get a rough landing on the pillar and catch him, carrying him in bridal style. Jet blushes in shock and embarrassment that she just saved him like a damsel in distress. Wave caught the blue cube.

"Got it!"

The now glitchy giant sword slams towards Wave who quickly dodged that.

"Almost got that, too."

"Thy advantage in numbers shall not avail thee, villains. The might of Babylon resides within me and it is my charge to thwart the assault of the Lightless Black."

Y/N placed him back on his Extreme Gear as he silently thanked her for it and flew over to the last projector.

"Blah, blah, blah! Divine wings, lightless black, thee, thy, thouest! You're a real babble-on guardian alright. Quit squawkin' and get to walkin', pinky. This game is over."

He then smashed the projector with his foot as Angelus is now disappearing.

"Undo thy transgression whilst thou yet may... thou hast been warned."

Once Angelus is gone, Jet looked at the cube.

"Well, Rogues. We got what we came for!"

"I don't know, Jet. Should we take it after all?" Wave asked, feeling uneasy.

"Yeah. That los Angelus guy was kinda scary." Storm said.

Jet snapped at them, turning his head.

"I can't believe what I'm hearing! Are you two turning chicken on me? After all we've been through? I thought we were in this together as a team. Finding this, finding the Babylon Garden is the ultimate prize. It's the reason we are the Babylon Rogues...! Or have you forgotten the path we started on together?"

Wave and Storm looked at each and nodded, remembering that.

"Jet, I know how much this means to you about this whole Babylon Garden, but you could at least consider their opinions. You're not always right and I'm sure they already know that." Y/N said, looking straight at him.

Jet gulped, looking away while knowing she's right and looking back at the cube.

"I know. But this our destiny! You'll see why this is important! We Rogues have stuck together through thick and thin and now it's going to pay off!"

Jet, Y/N, Wave, and Storm walked over to the Babylon language that's on the floor of the circle and it glowed orange as soon as they stepped in.

"I have to point out the obvious, but we're kinda trapped." Wave said, pointing to the door that was closed not too long ago.

"They haven't built a cage yet that could hold the Babylon Rogues! Storm?"

"One exit, comin' up!"

Storm smashed the door through his fist, taking it down. Then, they got into their Extreme Gear and flew out of the temple.

"The structural integrity of the tunnel is rapidly deteriorating! I estimate complete collapse in a matter of minutes!" Wave warned.

"So, a bunch of rocks is gonna squish us if we don't get outta here quick, huh?" Storm asked.

"Right."

"No way! We've come too far to get ground into bird seed now! Let's book!"

"Um, guys? Did you hear that?" Y/N asked.

The rock ceiling above them began to rumble as the tunnel began to crack.

"Uh-oh! Squish time!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

They boosted their hovering board to go faster as all four of them made it out alive as the rocks crushed on the ground, blocking the tunnel. Y/N helped Storm up as he had fell to the ground from the rough stop. 

"Ha! We got it! Now there's nothing standing between us and Babylon Garden!" Jet exclaimed.

"Uh, boss? Those guys are in our way." Storm said, stating the obvious.

Y/N looked over to see the whole army of Babylonians as the one stood before them with the blue robotic birds standing beside him and could see the flying mobile and a giant metal ship just above them is a Mobian lime green bird with red eyes and a yellow beak. His attire consists of a diaper looking pants, red ascot, brown gloves, matching goggles with red lenses and long brown boots. His name is Speedy as Jet told her about.

"Hello, Babylon Rogues. It's time to meet your destiny. Alright, Jet. If you hand over the cube and come quietly, the Battle Lord may forgive you for skipping out on the Armada."

"I guess your dad's in a generous mood. It looks like he even let you have some new 'big boy' pants." Jet said.

"Oh, my flight harness? Yeah, just try and outrun me, Jet. You'll get nowhere on that outdated Extreme Gear."

"Yes, I'm sure our boards are no match for your 'Extreme Undies.'" Wave smirked.

"Haw! You said 'undies'! Undies!!" Storm laughed, making Y/N giggle as she find it funny to see Speedy wearing a lookalike undie.

Speedy ignored them.

"Between me and Dr. Fukurokov's new pursuit drones, you have no chance of escape. So, come along—"

Jet, Wave, Storm, and Y/N weren't listening as they gave each other a smirk as Y/N brought out her fingers in a count of three. Once it hits three, they zoomed off, knocking Speedy off.

"—Peaceful-EEEEE!"

"No-can-do, junior. I'm finding the garden and all the glory that goes with it!"

"Don't just stand there! Pursue! All units, fire on the rogues!" Speedy ordered as those that are flying begin firing at the Babylon Rogues with two robotic birds in pursuit.

"The usual Armada standards of marksmanship." Jet said as they all dodged it and flew over to the snowy mountain.

"Rogues! This is your last chance! Give up the cube and return to the Armada or be destroyed!" Speedy demanded, coming after them.

"Face it, shell-shorts! You can't touch us! You ain't got the speed—"

"Or the skill—"

"Or the guts!"

"Or the friendship!"

"You arrogant...! I gave you a chance to come peacefully. Now you'll come in pieces! Destroy them!"

The blue robotic bird blasted green laser from their eyes towards Jet which it luckily grazed at his feathered head.

"Whoa! Those drones are bringing the heat!"

"Better cool 'em down!"

Storm scooped up the snow and created a big snowball and tossed it towards the robot, blinding it and causing it to stop blasting laser.

"Heh. Pitching is fun. But I like batting best!"

He then grabbed the tree with a snap and whacked the robot bird away, breaking it into pieces. The next robot bird blast the laser at Wave who dodged it and was having a thoughtful look as she calculate the weak spot of the robot.

"Hmm... Simple construction... Polymers... Central connection..."

She flipped herself over the robot and grabbed the golden pin that held the robot in one piece and landed back on her Extreme Gear.

"That should do it."

The robot stopped and its parts fell off.

"Nice one, Storm, Wave!" Y/N praised with a smile behind the mask.

She suddenly heard Jet's yell and the sound of rocks crumbling down. Y/N looked down and gasped.

"ARGGH! MY ARM!"

"JET!!"

"Whaddaya say now, 'Legendary Wind Master'?"

Speedy punched Jet right in the face as he began punching him over and over again while shouting.

"'Legendary Windbag' is more like it! To think I respected you! I wanted to be you! I thought you had it all, but look at you now! You've got nothing."

He pointed his blaster from his wrist towards Jet. But for some reason he's smirking and Speedy didn't notice Y/N is coming behind him.

"I've got one thing you don't."

On cue, Y/N zooms in and punches Speedy away.

"Backup."

Wave comes in next and swooped him off with her Extreme Gear while Y/N checks on Jet as she sees his arm is burned.

"You made a mistake, taking on the Babylon Rogues."

Storm caught Speedy and held him by the red ascot and lifted his fist ready to punch him as Y/N wrapped Jet's arm with her black headband. Jet smile up at her in thanks.

"Your last mistake." Storm said just as he was about to give Speedy a bad blow.

"Go ahead..."

He lifted his finger up towards the sky behind them.

"It's better than facing him."

Y/N and the Babylon Rogues were confused on what he mean as they look up to see a shadow figure jump down and landed hard against the mountain with a loud thoom, causing them to fly off from the large impact. It revealed a mobian mustard yellow bird. A tall avian, he is dressed in a red coat (similar to Eggman's though far less flamboyant) and dark green pants with high-heeled shoes and tail feathers of the same color, light orange/brown feathers and white gauntlets. He also has a large beak upon which rests a pair of small glasses also similar to Dr. Eggman's and a large, black hat with his Armada's insignia on the front.

"Wake up, son. It's time for school."

Y/N must have guessed that this guy is the Battle Lord as Jet told her about as well. She sure doesn't like him already.

"You're the one who needs a lesson old man! Rogues, take him out!" Jet ordered.

"On it, boss!"

Storm flies over to Battle Lord when he calmly stood there and once Storm is close, he grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the ground. Y/N was shocked by the powerful hit he gave the poor Storm. Wave comes at Battle Lord by spinning herself rapidly when he kicked her off of the Extreme Gear as she fell to the snow ground. Jet comes next in full charge when Battle Lord brought out his glowy blue ring and clicked it, making him trapped in a blue bubble.

"Class dismissed!" he grinned.

"The ring!" Speedy gasped at the sight.

Y/N was surprised by the powerful ring as she waited for a good amount of time to strike him down.

"Yes, the ancient heirloom of the Battle Kukku Line. Passed from father to worthy son for more than 500 years, though its antiquity stretches back much further than that. Despite his many flaws--it was our Dr. Fukurokov who discovered this marvelous attribute of the ring. What you're experiencing, Jet, is a compressed gravity field. Though extremely useful, its effects are limited. It should be wearing off right about..."

The bubble that trapped Jet was shut down and Battle Lord held him by the neck as the Extreme Gear float off.

"Now."

Though Jet smirked once again as he laugh a little. Battle Lord raised his eyebrow.

"What's so funny?"

"You know, I thought you have good eyes, but you're missing something. It's not just us, there's actually four of us."

Before he could think what he mean by that, Y/N comes in and hits him right in the back of his head with her Extreme Gear, causing him to drop Jet. He turned to see Y/N in her helmet as she jumped off her board and walked over to him.

"Leave my friends alone!"

Battle Lord smirked, feeling interested what this one newbie would do. He turned to Jet who's on the ground.

"Let's see what your friend can do."

Jet glared up at him, but Battle Lord already turned back to face Y/N. They stare at each other for a few moments before they both, at the same time, got into a fighting stance. Another few moments of silence. Then, Battle Lord charged at Y/N super-fast, and she tightened her fists. He aimed a downward blow to her head, but she shifted to the right and dodged it. He quickly aimed another hit at her face, but she blocked it. Y/N tried to hit his chest, but Battle Lord blocked that. He shoved her back and aimed a kick at her chest, but she ducked and avoided it. She quickly reached up and grabbed his ankle, twisting it so that he flipped and fell on his chest. He grunted angrily and suddenly snapped his foot, kicking her in the jaw of the helmet. Y/N stumbled back a bit, caught off guard, and was suddenly knocked off her feet and fell on her back. A second later, Y/N felt a heavy weight on her stomach, and she looked up to see Battle Lord placing his boot on top of her. Jet, Wave, and Storm watched on nervously with their breath hitched while Speedy watched on in amazement.

Battle Lord raised his fist and tried to punch her, but she grabbed his fist. She tried to punch him, but he grabbed her fist. They each struggled against the other's weight, trying to push the other off. Y/N then thrust her hips upward, causing him to launch forward over her and off her stomach. She sat up and spun around. Battle Lord was kneeling on the ground, holding his stomach. Y/N lunged forward and slammed into him. They tumbled around the mountain as they slipped on the snow. Y/N sat up and aimed her fist as she punched Battle Lord's face where his beak is. He glared at her and kicked her off. She fell back and groaned, feeling the wind knocked out of her. She sat up, but he had slammed his boot onto her chest and pinned her back down. He then grabbed her by the neck and held her up in the air. Jet was about to jump in to stop him when Speedy got in his way.

"Let her go!!"

Battle Lord didn't listen and remove the black helmet to reveal the blue female hedgehog as she struggled to get out of his grasp. Y/N was about to use her ruby to bubble him when he quickly took notice as her ruby glowed and grip went tighter, causing her coke as she tried to regain her breath. He turned to the Babylon Rogues.

"You three keep back unless you want to see her snapped like a wishbone. Because you hold such potential—I'll allow you rogues one chance to accept your rightful place among my flock. Or face the alternative."

Battle Lord made his grip even tighter as her face slowly turn purple.

"GRRK!"

Jet, Wave, and Storm looked at each other nervously as Wave and Storm look at Jet the most who's worried about Y/N until he nodded to them. They nodded back and they gave up with their head low. Battle Lord grinned and finally let Y/N go as she coughed to breath in the air. Jet ran over to her aid along with Wave and Storm.

"Ah! An excellent choice. Now, the key to Babylon Garden if you please."

Jet begrudgingly handed him the cube.

"All yours..."

Speedy was in disbelief.

"What?! Dad! You can't take them back! Not with that hedgehog lady either! They'll just double cross you again!"

"Nonsense, my boy. A battlebird's squawk is his bond. Plus, this girl got some interesting skills and maybe... powers."

Speedy pointed to Jet who couldn't care less as he was more concerned with Y/N as she being helped up by Wave and Storm.

"He abandoned me—the Armada! And tired to make fools of us!"

"ENOUGH!"

"Yes, father..."

Battle Lord looked back at the cube and the ring with a grin.

"Now that you have so graciously delivered this treasure into my hands—I can finally reveal a great secret that was also passed down the Battle Kukku Line. Though we have kept the ring in honor for centuries, the cube was lost to us in ages long past. What only we knew is that these two relics of ancient Babylon are both part of a whole! And when brought together, they not only unlock the Babylon Garden, but also show us its long lost resting place!"

He placed the ring on the cube that had a circle on it and it glowed brightly, showing out the hologram map. Y/N's eyes widened in fear at the recognition of the map. It's her home. New Mobotropolis.

"Whoa." Storm awed.

"Well I'll be." Wave said.

"Is that...?" Jet started.

"What serendipity. Speedy, transit these coordinates to the Armada and relay the order to proceed. Weapons hot. It appears we may have the chance to kill two birds with one stone. Or at the very least... one two-tailed fox."

Y/N stomped over to him.

"No!! You can't do that!! That's my home! You can't seriously take that away from me! I have a family, my friends!"

Battle Lord turned to her and pointed at her.

"You have no right to tell me what to do. Speedy, take her away to where all the treasures are."

Jet, Wave, and Storm's eyes widened.

"What?!"

Speedy walked over to Y/N and held her arms behind her back tightly.

"With pleasure."

Y/N struggled to get out of his grip when he brought out the taser and shocked her, knocking her out. Jet turned to Battle Lord.

"You said you wouldn't hurt her! And she said that's her home! You can't do that!"

"Yes, I can. I didn't say I would hurt her. But they will. You better do as I say or else."

Jet watched helplessly as Speedy held the unconscious Y/N hostage and nodded in grieve.

"Yes, sir..."
