As we have the super tech cat who helps Tails and Sage to came across the galaxy: Laz the Cat! Facing off against the powerhouse: Knuckles the Echidna.

Knuckles: Um, I don't understand. Why am I angry at the enemy ball?

Mika: You're not angry.

Sonic: You just want to hit it as hard as you can and then run around the bases.

Knuckles: But if my quest ends where I am standing, why run at all?

Sonic: I can't with this guy. Why do I even try?

Maddie: This is just a game. We're out here having fun.

Tom: Just having some fun.

Knuckles: Fun. Huh.

Sage: Yeah, hey girls are you watching?

Angie: Heck yeah we are!

Athena: Go Knuckles!

Lorise: You can do this!

[Sonic zooms behind Knuckles, now acting as the plate catcher]

Sonic: All right! Give him the heat, Tails!

Tails: Hope you're ready for my fastball.

Knuckles: Your fastball will be dishonored, and so will you, fox. [Growls playfully]

Maddie: Easy, guys!

Tom: Hey, don't think about it too much. Just keep your elbow up, eye on the ball and give it a ride.

Laz: Okay the balls coming!

Mika: Just hit the ball!

Knuckles: A ride, to where?

[Tails proceeds to wind up his arm, toss the ball into the air and grab it with his twin-tails. He then proceeds to use his twin-tails to toss the ball right at Knuckles]

Knuckles: Power bump!

[Knuckles uses his fist and punches the ball straight over Tails' head and through the score board]

Mika: That was not, what I was talking about.

Knuckles: Ha! Victory is mine!

Tails + Sage: Hey, no fair! That shouldn't count.

Athena: Whooohhooo! You did it Knucks!

Lorise: Haha! Team Knuckles!

Angie: Oh boi. [She stood up and laughed]

Knuckles: First base is also mine!

Tom: I think that was our only ball.

Knuckles: I am having the fun! What is ice cream?

Sonic: It's a dessert. If you like fun, you're gonna love it.

Knuckles: Oh, yum. Dessert. Does it have grapes in it?

Sonic: No, not usually.

Angie: Well I have some grapes. [Knuckles looked at Angie and she gave him some grapes and he eats them lucky their were seedless] I gave him the seedless ones because I don't like grapes with seeds.

Tom: I'm proud of our little guy.

Maddie: I really like his new friends, especially the red and pink one. He cracks me up as she always makes good fashion choices.

Tom: Heck of a swing too.

[Knuckles scoops Tails and Sage up and places them on his shoulder]

[Knuckles leaps up into the back of the truck, making the entire vehicle shake]

Athena: You okay Knuckles?

Sonic: I've got a lot more than that... Dad.

Mika: Aww! My heart.

[Sonic and Mika zooms past Tom as they makes a cool pose on the truck before sliding in with Angie, Athena, Lorise, Sage, Laz, Tails and Knuckles. Tom and Maddie enter the driver seat]

Knuckles: Sonic and Mika, I have just been told they have sprinkles.

Sonic: Ice cream and sprinkles?

Mika: This is your new destiny.

[Tom starts the engine as they proceed to drive off]

Knuckles: What a perfect meal to celebrate my victory over you in base of ball.

Sage + Laz: What?

Sonic: I mean, you barely beat me.

Knuckles: Ha! You've never been beaten so hard.

Mika: Sonic.

Sonic: What?

Mika: The master Emerald.

[The camera pans over to a blue ice chest cooler with the Master Emerald lying within. Sonic speeds back over to the cooler]

Sonic: Can't forget this.

[Sonic grabs the cooler and runs off.]

Commander Walters: Agent, I want an update.

G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent: Still searching, sir. We haven't found any sign of Robotnik.

Commander Walters: No one could've survived that crash. He's toast. Good riddance.

[A masked GUN soldier walks behind the pair, pulling his mask down to reveal himself to be Agent Stone who is overhearing their convestion]

Commander Walters: What a mess that lunatic made.

G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent: Sir, there's something else. When we were wiping Robotnik off our database, we found something: A file buried deep in our system and dating back over 50 years.

Commander Walters: What was it?

G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent: Coordinates, sir.

Commander Walters: Coordinates? To what?

[The conversation continues in voice over as a pod rises up revealing a black and red hedgehog and a purple two tailed-Kitsune inside]

G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent: A secret research facility. It was a black site, sir. Someone worked very hard to keep this hidden.

Commander Walters: My God... Project Shadow and Project Bella.

[Shadow and Bella awakens, their eyes flaring up bright vermilion chaos energy.]
