Sonic and Crash: The Lost Hex (Chapter 4)

Chapter 4 is the fourth chapter of Sonic and Crash: The Lost Hex written by MarioFan65.

This chapter is called "A Short Break".

Plot

(Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku enter the Dragon Realms via a ring portal as the Dragon Realms is seen with dragons holding out gems, working in places, building statues and chasing sheep herds as well as fighting off egg thieves from stealing the eggs. Once they have arrived, they stumble upon the Dragon University, a university for young dragons to study as Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku look at the place outside of the campus.)

• Sonic: Oh man. It's so beautiful. It's like how the Norse gods would build their world upon the realms.
• Crash: Ooh.
• Aku Aku: The Dragon Realms. The realms is where our friend lives.
• Sonic: Cool. I have a friend who is a Italian man and eats whole lots of pizza and pasta as well jumping on blocks with coins and stepping on enemies in worlds he goes to.
• Aku Aku: Sweet. Our friend there is a purple dragon who collect gems and fight enemies like most of his dragon friends.
• Sonic: Well that's cool. What are we doing here in the first place.
• Aku Aku: *look at the Dragon University. Oh my gems. Look at the Dragon University.
• Sonic: It's so huge.
• Crash: Ooh.
• Aku Aku: This is where young dragons attend and study to become protectors of the Dragon Realms.
• Sonic: We were all students in life. If we were going to take a nice walk to cool off our fears, it gotta be this place.
• Aku Aku: Safety's first. Come on in.
• Crash: Ah ha.

(Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku enter inside of the Dragon University as they look around the inside of the hallway as they are no one inside, leaving the gang's the only ones walking while touring the campus. Pictures of dragons Boldar, Bubba, Lateef, Lucas and Nevin are seen through the walls while the gang discuss in the hallway.)

• Sonic: Wow. this is actually a campus. Amazing.
• Aku Aku: You know. This isn't a playroom. This is a school's area.
• Sonic: I already graduated school. All my classes were hell. You don't want to put me into a university for four years to get a running degree.
• Aku Aku: Sonic. I am serious. We need some training around this school. Maybe physical education can help.
• Sonic: *hold a gem* Ooh, i wonder how this university is obsessed with Chaos Emeralds?
• Crash: *pick up a gem* Ha.
• Aku Aku: Boys, that is no power gem or Chaos Emerald. This treasure belong to the dragons.
• Sonic: *drop the gem with Crash* Oops, sorry. I thought the gem look like a Chaos Emerald at first. *sit on a coach* Yo. I got your big daddy's coach in here.
• Crash: *jump on the couch* Wee!
• Aku Aku: Excuse me? This is not a party zone. This is a school!
• Sonic: Heart's in the right place. Heart's in the night. What does that mean?
• Aku Aku: Sonic, get out of there. You're acting like a comic relief.
• Sonic: I've been reading comic books for a few days and these zoom and woosh quotes freak me out. *look at a pillar with a vase on top* And almost smell the nice roses for five minutes.
• Aku Aku: You need a fresh start. With our training, we can become Smashers like you.
• Sonic: Only a Smash Bro would grab a rainbow Smash Ball and use their Final Smash to kill off a Primid from the Subspace Army. I even broke off a blue god's wing inside of the Subspace during the Subspace War a decade ago.
• Aku Aku: What does the Smash Ball do for you? Kicking?
• Sonic: What? The Smash Ball is used to give you special powers like special abilities. I used a Smash Ball to transform super without the emeralds. Rare moment than going hyper.
• Aku Aku: Ah. A special ability to use without the gifts. Let's go meet up in the break room.
• Sonic: There's like no one in here. It's like the studio couldn't afford another character in the scene of the movie.
• Aku Aku: Sonic!
• Sonic: *catch up with Aku Aku and Crash* Okay, i'm coming. You don't have to walk way too far behind.

(Sonic, Crash Bandicoot and Aku Aku walk into the break room as they check into the lockers, the tables and a fridge to search for food)

• Crash: *open a drawer* Uh?
• Aku Aku: This is a very strange place. All the students must be in class and no teachers are out while on teaching.
• Sonic: It feel like we're on a mystery. They even leave out all the wumpa fruits in the fridge! Crash, this world got something messing with you.
• Crash: Ooh. *eat the wumpa fruits on the fridge*
• Aku Aku: Oh man. I shouldn't have warned you. They got names on the tags. You shouldn't be eating their lunches!
• Crash: *spit out a Wumpa fruit* What?
• Sonic: Names? What names? *read the name tags* Who put these name tags on the fridge to order these belongings to someone? Maximos? Mazi? Copano? Rosco? Sadiki? This is all messed up.
• Aku Aku: Stop playing around in the fridge and get to the point of the training area. *see Sonic drink a wumpa shake off the fridge* Sonic!
• Sonic: Tasty. This world is a big fan of your antics.
• Aku Aku: We're friends with this world. We protect lands, we protect friends and we protect the universes from harm and bad costs. You're going to cause a nexus point in their world and some dragon guardian is going to spot your footprints, leading to a debate on stealing and detectives pointing out the spots all over the world.
• Sonic: *close the fridge* No one really take them. I thought they used to exist when cowboys and cowgirls were scrolling into the wild west.
• Aku Aku: Let's just go and stop playing with the fridge.
• Sonic: Alright. You seem a bit nervous today.
• Crash: *open up the crackers and eat them on his way out*

(Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku explore to explore through the Dragon University, walking into the hallway where everything is still quiet as classes are still in session)

• Sonic: Why is it empty in here? Is there a exam going on in all classes?
• Aku Aku: There is no exam at the moment.
• Sonic: I can see the windows. Beautiful day in the sky.
• Aku Aku: You must be guessing.
• Sonic: Guessing? But i'm not answering.
• Aku Aku: Sonic, you know the drill.
• Sonic: If I was the only speedster on the planet, I would have run through loop-de-loops and pack myself with a extreme handsome box!
• Aku Aku: *use his powers to push Sonic on the ground* Enough!
• Sonic: Hey, I said no touching.
• Crash: Ha ha.
• Aku Aku: Stop talking for like five minutes! You're giving us all a headache in here.
• Crash: *think*
• Sonic: A headache? I was just trying to help. We are searching for the training room and all we see is rooms around the school.
• Aku Aku: It's a college. Every student is all trained from the schools to test their skills to become normal working dragons in the work force.
• Sonic: *get up* Like what? You can't just throw the rust off the ground like you're spreading strange magic to the animals. What does it do to you? Throw some gloves and clean it up with a washer machine?

(During Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku's conversation, we see a numbers of Smashers like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Birdo, Boshi, Spyro, Sparx, Ember, Flame and Tomas while sitting in the room, noticing the three strangers by the door as Luigi walk in to close the door to prevent some disturbance on their session)

• Sonic: No no no. That's not it. I am not CTR material at all.
• Aku Aku: We're not racing for the CTR Grand Prixs. It's already over since the 2000s. You missed it when you didn't met us at first.
• Sonic: First off, I'm not even a virgin. Second, i'm a chad and third, I look myself into the mirror every day and thinking i'm not some kind of manhog that all the artists try to screw me up when they look at my close-up in a art fair.
• Aku Aku: *freeze Sonic* That's it. You are distracting the school.
• Sonic: I can't move.
• Crash: *curious by looking at Sonic, pointing at him*
• Aku Aku: Stay steady.
• Sonic: I look frozen as a trophy stand. Where are my hands.
• Aku Aku: You have hands.
• Sonic: My speed?
• Aku Aku: I froze you for a minute. *change his mind* You know what? I'm letting you go. *unfroze Sonic*
• Sonic: I should have gotten a heart attack when freezing up some strange magic.
• Aku Aku: You should have left us through a homeless shelter. But you didn't. That's what friends are for. They show up and help in need. Not convenient or easy. When it's challenging, you always try to make it complicated. You are unwell. You brought us here to find a training room. But turn out, it's a university where everyone study for their courses.
• Sonic: I know every university and school have a gym room when they attend physical education classes.
• Aku Aku: You're sure?
• Sonic: Yes. I attend P.E. once in high school. I visit a college fair in a real college through my tenth grade year and saw a gym room there.
• Aku Aku: You got smarts in you, not dumbs.
• Crash: Ha ha. *thumbs up*
• Sonic: I think we're in the right place.
• Aku Aku: The right place it is.
• Sonic: We're going good. No problems after all.
• Aku Aku: *hear someone's coming* Guys, we are having an emergency.
• Sonic: An emergency? Come on, I just saved you out of the island.
• Aku Aku: Someone is coming. We need to hide now to prevent being caught.
• Sonic: Who's being caught?
• Aku Aku: That's us. Let's go. Hide from the security.
• Sonic: Hiding ahead! *he, Crash and Aku Aku hide around the hallway as Gavin walk in by moving the cart*
• Crash: *sneak underneath the drawer*
• Aku Aku: Crash, there's another way to hide.
• Sonic: I got a trick on him. *throw a ball at the wall*
• Gavin: *move the coffee cart as he hear the ball hit from the wall* Oh. The wall is looking fine today. I loved how the university is build through economics and social studies. They will soon be real dragons someday and i'm just proud of everyone graduating at the same time.
• Sonic: What now?
• Aku Aku: Shhh.
• Sonic: Shhh? Don't shhh me.
• Aku Aku: Someone's coming. We still have to hide. *he, Sonic and Crash hide in one of the drawers*
• Gavin: Hmm. Nothing seem to change here. Does the back room need some supplies that needed to be changed?
• Sonic: *curl up to a ball with Crash and reach over to the back room with Aku Aku as the back room is shown with items on the room* What the?
• Aku Aku: This is a closet, right?
• Sonic: That's not what I wanted to hide.
• Aku Aku: You're making the barista hear us from the back room.
• Sonic: Let's just go. This isn't the right place to walk when the campus is on silent mode when everyone is attending classes. *hear a door opening up as he, Crash and Aku Aku reach to the ceiling to hold on the walls*
• Gavin: *enter the back room* Ah. I can barely tell how many paper towels they have stored in the back room.
• Sonic: *whisper* Crash, Crash.
• Crash: *whisper* Uh?
• Aku Aku: *furiously whisper* Why can't you shush your mouth before we get caught in the wrong place.
• Sonic: *whisper* I don't know why we're doing this. We look like spiders hanging up on the web.
• Aku Aku: *whisper* I don't believe you. You can't hold longer to stick yourself through the walls.
• Gavin: There's nothing to be shown here. Another day of work where the coffee machine needed more coffee beans and we don't have enough coffee beans to make some fresh little morning drinks to keep our energy going. Oh well. It's one of those days. *close the door*
• Sonic: Shoot. Whoa! *fall on the ground with Crash and Aku Aku*
• Gavin: *hear a sound from the back room* What was that crash? Is that my belt suspender? *clean his belt suspender* Nah. Nothing to be clean. *leave by moving his coffee cart*
• Sonic: Oh, gosh. We almost got caught.
• Aku Aku: And that's why your secret hiding spot worked.
• Sonic: What? You're not mad at me, right?
• Aku Aku: Of course not. I really owe you a apology.
• Sonic: Anything you said to me back, you really owe it.
• Crash: *pick his ears*
• Aku Aku: You guys are my protectors.
• Sonic: You're the best mask master the Wumpa Islands have ever seen.
• Aku Aku: You are good boys.
• Crash: Ah ha! *hug Aku Aku and Sonic*
• Sonic: Take it easy on the hug Crash. You're making us choke like chickens.
• Crash: *stop hugging Aku Aku and Sonic* Ah.
• Aku Aku: Ooga booga. It's always a brand new life in the multiverse.
• Sonic: Everyone got their own life and they appreciate it for the better. I'm loving it.
• Aku Aku: That's what I thought.
• Crash: *snore and wake up*

(Back at Cortex's Castle, Eggman and Cortex's gang are still celebrating the defeat of the bandicoots and the burning of the Wumpa Islands as the lab scientists open up their drink bottles and cheer up high as Dingodile use his flamethrower to make some steak as well Orbot and Cubot blowing party horns in the boxes)

• N. Tropy: *light up the fireworks in the sky* Enjoy the fireworks while you can outside. Make yourself a barbeque if you like.
• Everyone: *cheers*
• Koala Kong: *roar* For Cortex!
• Metal Sonic: Victory is ours.
• Dingodile: *cook steak on the grill* Ah yeah. Steak.
• Pinstripe: *use his Tammy gun to shoot in the sky* Freedom for everyone!
• Tiny: The best freedom we can get.
• Orbot: It's a celebration after all, Cubot.
• Cubot: No more Wumpa Islands for the rest of our lives. Mobius is next! *throw a dart at a drawing of Mobius*
• Cortex: Yes! We got our day to shine. No islands, no animals, no nothing. We own it all.
• Eggman: No more Bandicoots mean, no more Wumpa Islands.
• Cortex: I've never been so much better since the house attack. I'm glad we finally defeat the bandicoots and their precious animal friends. Ha ha ha! I'm making a effort in the charts.
• Eggman: All we gotta do next is get rid of the Freedom Fighters and claim the Chaos Emeralds for ourselves.
• Cortex: That's what we're doing next. Also, we're getting the power crystals and power gems to boost up our weapons to destroy all the worlds in one universe.
• Orbot: *hold a drink* Do you need a booze?
• Cortex: Excuse me? I'm not going to be drunk tonight by drinking ten beers a night.
• Cubot: We can still refill your cups up. Or else you want some cream soda.
• Eggman: What? No. We already got a bunch. Let's call it a day of drinking and cut to the chase.
• Cortex: Yeah you droid bots. You don't drink cause you're robots! Drink some metal, how about that?
• Orbot: Oh well. It's fine by us.
• Cubot: No one want a booze of beer and cream soda.
• N. Tropy: You know Eggman. You make a fine team of supervillains around the world.
• Eggman: I wouldn't say supervillain like if a power hungry bad guy try to take over the world and destroy a dozen of planets in a system of stars.
• Cortex: Precisely. Something that I would get on my gloves.
• Dingodile: Fresh appetite. *eat some steak*
• Ripper Roo: *shake his head and eat the steak*
• Fake Crash: *play with his steak and drop it on the ground* Oops. *giggle*
• Uka Uka: You guys are going to make me proud for what you done with the bandicoots.
• Eggman: And one of us gonna pretend Sonic didn't show up, right?
• Cortex: I'll pretend I didn't look at the blue blur.
• Eggman: Uh, you do realize Sonic was at the battle with the bandicoots. I saw it with my own eyes in the cameras.
• Cortex: No. It was all a story. Ha ha ha. What do you expect?
• Uka Uka: What were you thinking? You just defeated the heroes. Now you get to live out with your lives and rule the world.
• Cortex: Oh brother. You guys owe me a diamond. I'm going to check what is going on in the world. *check on his computer*
• Nina: Uncle, what are you doing?
• Cortex: I'm just checking. Party all you want. I'm better off going into social media.
• N. Gin: Social media? Cortex, there's a bunch of weirdos on the media. They even make fun of your head and infamous for trying to take over the world.
• N. Brio: Go buy a bag full of shopping items. I'll make some egg sandwiches for breakfast.
• Eggman: Sir, are you in the mood for some chocolate cake? You know all the lab scientists are celebrating with some chocolate cake with some latte.
• Cortex: I'm not in the mood Eggman. I'm better off focusing on taking over the Earth. I have been waiting for the moment to take over the Earth since 1996.
• Eggman: It been two decades since you planned to rule the Earth. I wanted to rule the Earth. I kidnap little animals on capsules with my Badniks. I also cut the Earth in half by making Sonic a werehog and it was scary! Then my plans went downhill all the way to nowhere on the end of the Earth.
• Cortex: You hit on the center to the end of the world. That's where you lost.
• Eggman: I lost because, I didn't win against Sonic the Hedgehog. I always fail on my chance on assassinating the hedgehog and his mobian friends. It look like I'm never going to go back to my old mistakes on ruling both Mobius and Earth at that time when I have one weapon that hypnotize the creatures.
• Cortex: What creatures you're asking? Was it a troll that roar all the villagers out of the village?
• Eggman: It was something else. They were all black with the mix of colorful colors like red, blue, green, orange and purple. They look almost like ogres.
• Cortex: You mean like the ogres that live alone in forests like swamps and woods?
• Eggman: It's another type of ogre. They act like yetis.
• Cortex: You found the yetis in the Himalayas?
• Eggman: Actually, they were in a floating lost continent like a half planet called the Lost Hex.
• Cortex: The Lost Hex?
• N. Brio: Who has a Lost Hex?
• Eggman: No one has a Lost Hex. It's the lost continent, the Lost Hex! Those yeti-like Zetis live in the Lost Hex where they are nobody friends. They're nightmares and call themselves the Deadly Six.
• Everyone: *shocked*
• Dingodile: Whoa, hold it! Did you say the Deadly Six?!
• Eggman: Yeah, never heard of those guys before?
• Nina: I thought the Deadly Six act like fiercest warriors that break upon seven mountains and conquer the continent.
• Komodo Joe: You are messing with the wrong guys.
• Komodo Moe: Surrender to them, or else!
• Koala Kong: Let's not get serious on the foes. What is the Deadly Six suppose to act like?
• Eggman: The Deadly Six act like one. How do I hire them? I found a conch shell named the Cacophonic Conch that can brainwash the user on becoming a slave. I use it on the Deadly Six to become my minions to destroy Sonic and Tails, few years ago. The plan backfired when they went on a big betrayal. They lost their chance to kill Sonic and I lost my chance to kill Sonic. We lost our chance to kill Sonic with the help of Metallix few months ago. We all lost to the end of the day and almost give up our villainy.
• Cortex: If you say the Deadly Six, what if you meet them again for a alliance to get rid of the remaining Freedom Fighters.
• Eggman: Uh, I don't think I could meet up with the Deadly Six again after many disputes with our actions and plans regarding Sonic and Tails. It's not gonna work like it used to. The plan still gonna go backfired like last time.
• Cortex: What? Those Zetis could have the chance on beating all the members of the Freedom Fighters. You know better Eggman! That Cacophonic Conch could hypnotize the Zetis and join the Eggman Empire on taking over the world! We'll be victorious as the gods in the skies!
• Uka Uka: What do you think about the whole Deadly Six idea Eggman?
• Eggman: Uh. *reform* Alright. I'm going to have a second chance on recruiting the Deadly Six.
• Cortex: Ha ha ha. We're going bad!
• N. Tropy: *hit his fork* You may be the most powerful scientist in the universe, but the Deadly Six may be the most fiercest warriors in the universe.
• Eggman: The Deadly Six are the most monstrous monsters in the whole world. A nightmare's favorite curse to the end.
• Nina: Heh. I bet their teeth can bite a fang out like a bat.
• Dingodile: Do they hate the sun?
• Eggman: They're not bats! They're Zetis! What are you? A imbecile?
• Dingodile: I thought they are yetis like abominable snowmen.
• Eggman: They are yetis. Do I have to repeat the words coming out of my mouth?
• Dingodile: If you ask me. You tell me.
• Eggman: Nope. Okay everyone. Party's over. We are going back to villainy business and try to destroy as many in a crime.
• N. Gin: We could shoplift in a supermarket.
• N. Brio: We could destroy as many castles.
• N. Tropy: And rob banks. If you go back in time, you keep doing the same mistakes over and over.
• Eggman: Snooping as usual I see, N. Tropy. You must be the employee of the month that no one could ever see in the portraits. You even tried to hack a gamer's account on cheating on a free-to-play go-kart racing online game.
• N. Tropy: We'll hack more accounts as we promise.
• Eggman: Better could say it myself.
• Cortex: Ladies and gentlemen, get my airship going!

(Eggman and Cortex's army leave the computer room as they get on to the airship as the airship is about to take off out of Cortex's Castle)

• Cortex: Ah, full gas. I love when my workers fill up my airship when we come back from floating.
• Eggman: I don't have the conch. But the conch is hidden somewhere around the Lost Hex. We will get the conch as soon we track down the Deadly Six and make them our minions!
• Cortex: That's what we're gonna do.
• Uka Uka: Get the flight going. We're about to take off.
• Dingodile: Burning coal with fire!
• N. Brio: Pump up the steam.
• N. Gin: Making gas on a hot air balloon.
• Cortex: It's not a hot air balloon. It's a airship mixed with a hovercraft.
• N. Gin: Oh my. Master Cortex, your screen says we're leaving the castle.
• Cortex: I know. That's why we're getting the heck out of here and about to start going back into our jobs on what we're suppose to do.
• Orbot: The bosses always say "Nothing can stop us now! Ha ha ha ha!" Isn't that funny?
• Cubot: It cracks up my square head.
• Eggman: Silly robot henchmen. We're doing a lot of challenges into our villain career and no hedgehog or bandicoot will smash into our Badniks to take down all of our gadgets in one shot.
• Nina: It's about time.
• N. Tropy: To take off.
• Cortex: Leave the castle immediately with a flight! Go!
• Eggman: *control the airship as the airship leave Cortex' Castle and head out to the skies* It says, we left the castle and now going to the skies, what now?
• Cortex: We're not going to the skies to raid a place like Hot Air Skyway. You're going to warp into another dimension and find the Lost Hex!
• Eggman: Oh, right. My universe where the Death Egg, Earth and Mobius are located.
• Cortex: Do I have to say it again? Eggman, are you trying to pull my leg?
• Eggman: No, unless you have a lobster leg. *press the button to open up a portal* Ta da! Eureka!
• Cortex: Ding ding ding. The Portal is Open!
• N. Brio: Like The Price is Right!
• Eggman: I'll be in Jeopardy as a game show. Now swirl in like a barrel roll in space! *zoom the airship into the portal*
• Cortex: We're going in like a cup!
• Metal Sonic: It's all in.
• Uka Uka: At last! We're outta here!
• Nina: Zooming through!

(Eggman and Cortex's empire zoom the airship through the portal on their way to another dimension where the Lost Hex is located. Back at Sewer Speedway in the recon room, Sonic, Crash and Aku Aku arrive back via a ring portal as they meet up with Coco, Crunch and the Nitro Squad with Cindy and Chel through the punching bags.)

• Sonic: Hey everybody, we're back. What did we miss?
• Coco: You guys miss nothing. You were hanging out at the Dragon Realms.
• Crunch: Did you ate a chili dog on your way to some big university for dragons?
• Sonic: No. But I heard they sell lizard burgers by some fat bear in a suit and it's disgusting.
• Aku Aku: Blah! I could have throw up by eating a ice cream macaroni and cheese flavor.
• Crash: Uh? *eat a wumpa fruit*
• Tawna: The world out there is fought with crime and danger within society.
• Cindy: What were you doing in the dragons' own world?
• Sonic: Nothing, just nothing. All I did is look around the campus where no one is around when everyone is in class. *act like a teacher* Class is in session! No one should be taking during the test and sharp your pencils before the quiz!
• Chel: Good one there, hedgehog. I bet you can be a fast reader and a fast working at a same time.
• Sonic: Duh, It doesn't ring a school bell. I just graduated school and all I did is make a hundred of footlong sandwiches for everyone's graduation party after the graduation.
• Liz: You are on fire.
• Megumi: You are still cute as a hamster.
• Sonic: What? Thanks. I hate when people compare me to other rodents like rats.
• Tawna: A hedgehog is still a rodent. You know that Megumi.
• Megumi: I know. Porcupines too.
• Ami: You are one tough hedgehog that can beat a evil scientist on a battle robot.
• Sonic: You know who I am. I am the blue fast hedgehog that defeat a evil scientist that use a giant fighting robot to crush into civilizations.
• Isabella: All of my fans were talking about you. Most of them called you the blue devil and was famous for fighting a warlord robot in California and America.
• Sonic: Yeah. I already know that. Metallix is dead, so does the fused robot clones of me. Metal Sonic is always dead and still coming back through one of his forms from his DNA chip. I always fight him and defeat him by cracking his screen when Eggman is around his Eggmobile. I can't with that guy.
• Tawna: We all can't deal with him, or Cortex.
• Sonic: Everyone in Eggman and Cortex's army should be held accountable for their crimes around the worlds. They tried to claim the power gems and power crystals for power and almost stole the Chaos Emeralds with the Master Emerald to destroy the world.
• Liz: Aren't those Chaos Emeralds guarded by those echidnas of your friend's past with the Master Emerald on the shrine?
• Sonic: Echidnas have been protective of the emeralds in centuries. As of today, they are gone. We're like the only ones that can protect the emeralds from evil forces and power-hungry bad guys like Eggman and Cortex.
• Crash: *yawn*
• Coco: We still can't go back to the Wumpa Islands now. We lost everything, our home, our friends, the whole island.
• Sonic: Your friends are still safe as they survived out of the island like what the people did in the Titanic.
• Crunch: We're worried about all of our friends. What happen with Farmer Ernest's crops and what happen with all the monkeys and other tribes living in harmony?
• Tawna: All the tribes hunt for themselves with grave terrible power. We'll never work for a tribe like Papu Papu.
• Sonic: Forget about it. Let's just hang out at my world. I haven't seen my friends all night long.
• Cindy: What were you doing back in your world?
• Sonic: At my house, we were throwing parties. I order a whole menu out of Burger Princess and celebrate with hamburgers, French fries and everything out of the menu with soda and smooth ice creams.
• Chel: Did you save any leftovers?
• Sonic: Uh, no. I never seen you guys before and you don't know what to expect from a stranger when you first meet the person before getting to know each other.
• Cindy: Then how about you introduce to your friends to us.
• Sonic: Yeah, I can do that. When you see the looks of my friends, you will be amazed with the looks of being bowled over.

(Back at Mobius in Green Hill Zone at Sonic's house, Tails, Knuckles and Amy are cleaning up the mess after a big party from last night and thinking about Sonic's whereabouts on why he hasn't return yet)

• Tails: *try to scrub the markings off the wall* Jeez, I can't scrub these markings out. They're all sticky like dried paint.
• Knuckles: Sonic haven't even return yet. It been many hours since the hedgehog haven't return. It's day time and he haven't found a reason on why he didn't come back.
• Amy: Maybe he missed his bus stop.
• Knuckles: No. That's not the reason why. He was suppose to pick up Crash Bandicoot and now it's too late. Where have he been?
• Tails: Maybe he ran out of rings. Gosh, we almost forgot. We should have give him a bag of rings for the next time before he get lost on a certain place again.
• Knuckles: We shouldn't have said it earlier for yourselves. *see a ring portal open up with a glimpse of the recon room with Sonic and his bandicoot friends* What the what?
• Sonic: Bueno, Hola Knuckles and everyone. *act like a spaceman* I have returned in peace!
• Knuckles: You're back hedgehog. And guess what? You missed the party! You missed everything! What is the lightning bolt wrong with you?!
• Amy: Sonic, it's you! We were all worried about you!
• Sonic: Sorry for the long wait everybody. I'm late to the party. How is everybody doing? It's so day outside. Are you feeling the Sun on Fall season?
• Tails: You're late to the party. Everyone left! It was morning at that time and everyone was leaving to head back into their businesses or running late to their jobs. You blew it man. You should have been here when you have the time to pick up your friend for like... "ten" hours.
• Aku Aku: It been a long story. And we're very scared to tell you the whole story about it.
• Tails: Aku Aku. It's you.
• Knuckles: The tiki mask. It's great to see you again.
• Amy: Long time no see Aku Aku.
• Sonic: *jump into his house* Everyone, I have brought Crash, Coco, Crunch and Tawna back. I want every one of you to meet the Nitro Squad, Cindy and Chel.
• Tawna: Sup, brothers and sisters. *wink at the gag*
• Cindy: You must be the friends of Sonic.
• Tails: Yeah, we call ourselves the Freedom Fighters.
• Chel: You must be the Freedom Fighters everyone on Earth have been talking about.
• Knuckles: How do you know about us? We do not meet strangers that try to conquer our base without knowing.
• Cindy: Settle down. We are the Nitro Squad. I founded the group in terms of powerful warriors and superheroes trying to avenge their world for justice and fight the battles to make the difficult decisions the universe couldn't do.
• Amy: Like police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses and the people behind G.U.N.
• Cindy: That's right. All these working hard people provide all the errands that make this workforce a long running term and business. Our members are here to help to protect the wills of good and bad. The greater good that can stop the evil from destroying our society.
• Tails: There's something different about Tanwa. Why is she dressed like a secret agent mixed with a superhero?
• Tawna: It's our uniform. You think it's 1980 where everyone is filming a old superhero movie with less budget effects?
• Tails: Not a fan of modern day superhero movies. Let's move on.
• Coco: It's great seeing you guys again. We haven't talked among each other ever since we defeated Metallix on Earth.
• Tails: Still looking sharp as a playgirl, Coco.
• Coco: You just have my word on a flower.
• Knuckles: Looking strong Crunch.
• Crunch: Yeah. Preparing the muscle on the diet.
• Knuckles: Big and chunky. I like it.
• Megumi: Nice friends you got there, hedgehog.
• Isabella: They all look like the blue hedgehog.
• Liz: Same size, different species and different race.
• Ami: They're almost the same age. They're all aliens to us.
• Tails: We're mobians, just to let you know.
• Ami: Mobians, yeah. On Planet Mobius. A planet that is the equalization to Earth? A fact.
• Cindy: This is Sonic's universe. Interesting. So we all know where the hedgehog reside with all of his fun fast friends.
• Chel: Your rings are unique. Once you throw on them, it can open up a big wormhole without technology.
• Sonic: Thanks. If you need a ring and want to go out somewhere, *throw a ring to Chel to catch it* just give us a call.
• Chel: Thanks hedgehog. We'll use this ring for emergency, just in case something bad happen like the forces of Cortex.
• Aku Aku: That's right. We always keep an eye on Cortex on how much he's staying into a lot of trouble like his minions and ancestors.
• Crash: *check on Sonic* Ah ha.
• Sonic: Crash, how are you doing? How are things doing for you?
• Crash: *depressed* Aw.
• Sonic: It still sucks to lose your home, pal. You don't have to live alone like the poor animals that lose their habitant and ran off to some empty place like the dump.
• Tails: What happen with Crash? What is he sad about?
• Coco: As you may know, Cortex and his forces have destroyed the Wumpa Islands on fire.
• Tails: *shocked with everyone* Oh no, this is terrible.
• Knuckles: Cortex is back? It can't be. I hope it's not that Fat Robotnik who is responsible for all the terrible things like the horrible things he did to us in the past.
• Amy: One of his Sonic robot clones fused to try to destroy our world and Earth the other day. But we manage to undo the actions and save the day without any harm.
• Tawna: We fight his whole army last night. Then Sonic came to save us from the threat of Cortex. We saw our island burn down in genocide. Snuck into Angel Island and thrown into the Sewer Speedway where we met my Nitro Squad and our bosses in the recon room.
• Cindy: That's right. Many nobodies can't help themselves alone and that's why we're here to help.
• Amy: That sucks for all of you who can't afford homes by paying mortgage from the governments. But glad you're living with the Nitro Squad for now until things started to settle a bit better.
• Knuckles: Are you trying to sneak into Angel Island and grab the Master Emerald? If you do, you're going to be punished!
• Sonic: No one really touched the Master Emerald or take it. No one really live on that island anymore.
• Tails: Why not live with us? We could form a new neighborhood filled with tents and hunts like what the Knuckles Clan used to do back in their days.
• Knuckles: But the good old days were over until all of them were extinct by one water monster that came out of the Master Emerald. Old news is old news and the rest is history.
• Aku Aku: Like the ancient witch doctors that used to rule the Wumpa Islands.
• Cindy: That's correct. You guys get to spend time with your friends until the Wumpa Islands is clear with no fire with the green light being a go.
• Coco: But what about all of our friends that reside in the Wumpa Islands? Did they got infected by the fire?
• Cindy: Most of your friends survived the fire. The fire may be gone for now, but the islands isn't in good shape with all the jungles, leaves and trees burned from the ashes. The plants are starting to grow again, little by little.
• Chel: We'll pray for the Wumpa Islands to grow their roots again soon or later.
• Sonic: Well, we can all chill out and enjoy some chili dogs for breakfast. Who would like a chili dog in the morning?
• Coco: We all do Sonic. It's your favorite snack and always eat a hot dog with chili on top everyday.
• Sonic: I eat it every breakfast, snack, break, lunch and dinner. I'm addict to those type of meals.
• Crunch: Let's all cook breakfast together.
• Aku Aku: With a great diet.
• Knuckles: With cooked meat, chili cheese and baked beans.
• Tails: Don't forget the bread.
• Cindy: That's what I'm talking about. A chili breakfast.
• Chel: Uh huh. I like it. *cross her arms*

(Back with Eggman and Cortex's empire, the gang is still riding on Cortex's airship as they are about to arrive at the Lost Hex)

• N. Brio: Are we there yet?
• Cortex: No! We have not arrived at the Lost Hex yet. We are still searching for the Lost Hex. What is the size of a Lost Hex, Mr. Eggman?
• Eggman: It's Dr. Eggman. Actually, it's suppose to be a half continent-like planet. It's located around the skies of Mobius. I know we can find the Lost Hex around the skies.
• N. Gin: It's a mystery lost world that no one would expect to discover on the top of the world.
• Uka Uka: Like with Atlantis under the ocean, it's a rare world you seen in the skies.
• Dingodile: And I thought the 5th dimension is a forbidden world in the multiverse.
• Eggman: No need to use the multiverse for power. We can use our own power to conquer every part of the universe.
• Metal Sonic: As long you want to be like me.
• Koala Kong: Yeah. The secret is on the chest. *hit his chest*
• Orbot: We are now approaching the Lost Hex.
• Cortex: Are you sure? Let me see. *locate the Lost Hex* Oh my. You're right. We are finally here.
• Cubot: Ah ha! We found the cut continent.
• Eggman: The Lost Hex! It's here! I haven't seen the Lost Hex with the looks of my eyes for years. Now that we arrived, there is a chance we will find the hidden Cacophonic Conch somewhere around the end of the world.
• Nina: We're going to the end of the world like going to the core of the Lost Hex like the Earth's core on the center of the planet where the lava is hiding inside of the rocks? Fiery hot.
• Eggman: The Lost Hex has various places in one continent. Like the Moon, it's one big world to go around in places. The conch is located somewhere around the Lava Mountain.
• Uka Uka: We're going to the Lava Mountain?! What? Are you crazy? You're going to turn us into cooked fried shrimp sticks on our way to the lava!
• Eggman: We're not going into the lava, we're going through the mountains in the lava zone. The cavern side of the mountain has the conch hiding in place.
• Cortex: Does the conch always break?
• Eggman: Most conch shells break. This conch shell with power is always rare. Does not break, always float and get lost in various areas. I lost the conch when I was first defeated by the Deadly Six and Sonic. Today with your help, we're going to get it back and recruit the Deadly Six to destroy everything the Freedom Fighters love.
• Cortex: They love, they like, they find it okay, they find it meh, they dislike and they hate! Crush it all up into one horrible thing like a paper crushed ball that get thrown into the office garbage bin.
• Eggman: This is why we're going to find the conch shell at Lava Mountain, starting now.
• Uka Uka: That's so fast. This lost continent is so easy to find these certain items in one minute.
• Eggman: It's a big world, Uka Uka. You don't expect to look for treasure for like an half-hour.
• Uka Uka: I see your point there, Eggman. You and me against the universe!
• Pinstripe: Plus-a-too-ya. *blow a kiss in the air* Mmm-ma!

(Eggman and Cortex's empire arrive at the Lost Hex by going through the Lava Mountain as they park the airship with the gang coming out of the airship as they arrive to the Lava Mountain by pointing an entrance to the cavern where the Cacophonic Conch is hidden)

• Eggman: Cave sweet cave. We finally made it to the lost treasure's entrance.
• Cortex: It's so hot as a long hot summer in 1967.
• Dingodile: Flames be smelling into our noses.
• N. Tropy: Doctors, you know where the conch is, right?
• Cortex: We all know. It's suppose to be hidden in the cavern, *point to the cavern entrance* right here on this point.
• Eggman: Walk straight.
• Uka Uka: You two lead the way. We follow along.
• Eggman: Aye aye Uka Uka.
• Metal Sonic: Nice. I'll be waiting for the moment to see the Deadly Six for the first time. *cross his arms*

(Eggman and Cortex's empire walk through the cavern of the Lava Mountain as they found the Cacophonic Conch on the rock pillar in much of the gang's surprise)

• Eggman: There it is, the Cacophonic Conch!
• Cortex: Ah. It look like a shell of a hermit crab's body.
• Eggman: It does. Come to papa and I'll use it to rule with power.
• Cortex: It's so ancient. It's like the world haven't discover these type of items in centuries.
• N. Gin: You just found it. Just grab it.
• N. Brio: Don't just stand here like you're doing nothing.
• Cortex: Fine. You guys don't have enough patience to wait for us to receive the items to use for power. Look like I'm going to have to take it myself. *grab the Cacophonic Conch* Yes! I finally touch it!
• Eggman: It's all ours. Can you test the Cacophonic Conch if it still works in the present?
• Cortex: Oh yes. I will do all the testing on the conch shell. *use the Cacophonic Conch to blow with power* It still works in the present. *see monster lobsters come out of the cave* Uh oh, that doesn't look good.
• Eggman: When the creatures are sleeping, it inhibit the powers of the monster lobsters!
• Nina: Intruder!
• Orbot: It's an emergency!
• Cubot: *see the monster lobsters roar* You guys got a quick battle to catch.
• N. Tropy: All in and out for nothing. *fight the monster lobsters*
• Tiny: *see a monster lobster roar at his face* Tiny crush a monster lobster! *crush a monster lobster*
• Koala Kong: *smash a monster lobster* Die you sea crab!
• Pinstripe: *try to shoot as many monster lobsters* Get out of here you punks!
• Fake Crash: *hide on a broken monster lobster's leg scared*
• Komodo Joe: *slash a monster lobster* Ssssslice.
• Komodo Moe: Surrender to the Komodo Brothers! *scream and cut up as many monster lobsters*
• Dingodile: *use his flamethrower to flame at the monster lobsters* Die you seafood! You're on the menu for a Chinese restaurant! *laugh*
• Eggman: Bad place to receive the conch. To the exit!
• Cortex: We run away! *run with Eggman as a monster lobster block the exit* Back off! We gotta leave!
• Eggman: *see a monster lobster roar* There's no way out. We're blocked!
• Uka Uka: Timber rocks! *use his powers to crush the rocks into the monster lobster, also blocking the entrance* Done!
• Eggman: No! That was our only exit! Uka Uka, why didn't you throw the monster lobster outside?!
• Uka Uka: That was the only option I have.
• Cortex: You even blocked the entrance. Our airship was right there. And now we're lost because of you?!
• Uka Uka: That's all I did to save you! Are you crazy enough to crush a hermit crab's shell?! *see monster hermit crabs on the way* And of course, I was right about that.
• Cortex: You are wasting our time here. *use his blaster to shoot at the monster hermit crabs*
• Uka Uka: Time to laser up some crab legs. *laser on the monster hermit crabs*
• Nina: It's bombing time. *throw the bombs at all the monster lobsters and hermit crabs and explode them in pieces* Oh yeah! Bad girl style!
• Eggman: Hasta la vista, baby. *step on a monster lobster's head* Gross. I can see the ink blood on my shoes.
• Cortex: Ah great. We're stuck right after we killed those sea monsters.
• Nina: I actually killed them all. A smart scientist's move to execute all living sea creatures on the hiding spot.
• Cortex: At least, *hold the Cacophonic Conch* we still have the conch.
• Dingodile: Great going Boss.
• N. Gin: You didn't lose it.
• Cortex: Hello? It's still in my hands. Did I trade the conch over a blaster gun? I don't think so. *hear the sounds of a Zeti* What are we approaching next?
• Eggman: It's the sound of the Zetis. We made it to their location.
• N. Brio: That fast right after we found the conch? You're crazy!
• Eggman: I know where they're hiding and where they are hiding outside of the little children's closets. Follow me. *lead the group*

(Throughout the Lava Mountain, the Deadly Six are seen training in battle through the rocks. Zavok is punching against Zazz as Zeena throwing nail props on Zor with Zor kicking the nail props as Zomon ate a cheeseburger and throw it against Zik by using his staff to fight Zomom. The Deadly Six then clash against each other by throwing rocks and chains with the use of their electric powers by smashing through the rocks with rock sharps falling into the lava. After the battle, they bow down with a great training they have accomplish.)

• Zik: Well done my students. You all trained well like powerful warriors.
• Zavok: It is a honor Master Zik. We can't take to conquer the whole universe with our power.
• Zazz: I'm going to break their necks and smash their faces down like a frog! *laugh*
• Zeena: Don't fall for it Zazz. You almost break my nails during training.
• Zazz: What? Don't ask why! You are making this up as you tried to cut off my horns in the last Winter of training.
• Zeena: Don't regret it, crazy Zeti.
• Zomom: I must be hungry for another cheeseburger. With bacon bits on top.
• Zik: You guys are grown Zetis now. You have the right to get out of the Lost Hex and conquer all of Mobius by the time we will fight the hedgehog and fox again with all of their friends.
• Zavok: The hedgehog and fox's friends will be weaken to the powers of our kung-fu. No Zeti will leave their world behind to destroy parts of Mobius.
• Zik: Soon, we will take over Mobius. After we take over Mobius, we will take over all the planets in the universe.
• Zavok: In our motivation, we will have the ability to encounter all the living animals to turn them into our slaves and work by building castles with our faces in the mountain. *bow down with everyone*

(Eggman and Cortex's gang sneak through the rocks where they see the Deadly Six bowing down to their master)

• Zik: Very good indeed. I like the way you bow.
• Zor: Precisely.
• Eggman: Here they are. The-
• Cortex: Shh. They can hear us.
• Eggman: Don't shh me. I found them for a reason and I finally got the chance to brainwash their brains into deadly monsters.
• Nina: They are already deadly monsters from the beginning. They are as bad as those Evil Twins from the 10th dimension.
• N. Gin: I heard they were eaten by a evil Crash Bandicoot on the rotten house of Twinsanity Island.
• N. Brio: You two have a chance on hypnotizing the Deadly Six.
• Eggman: They will come back to me and they will obey my orders on stopping all the Freedom Fighters.
• Dingodile: The Deadly Six look like yetis to us. You were right about that.
• Eggman: That's right. I know everything when you guys don't. Pass me the conch.
• Cortex: It's your chance to control them like your precious Badniks. *pass the Cacophonic Conch to Eggman*
• Eggman: It is time. To come back to the Eggman Empire. *use the Cacophonic Conch to blow with power*
• Zik: As we will conquer the worlds, we will conquer the rest of the- *control himself with his members*
• Zavok: *roar* What is happening?!
• Cortex: It's working!
• Metal Sonic: We can feel the pressure inside their bodies.
• N. Brio: Better than those sea monsters.
• Nina: And it's not good.
• Cortex: Not good? Not good?! They are bad people!
• Tiny: Tiny don't like the sound of the Deadly Six. *watch the Deadly Six roar and destroy many rocks in the training room*
• N. Tropy: Holy time! *see Zavok crush a boulder* Holy clock! They are monsters! We should really go right now.
• Eggman: No! Stay here while I'll control their minds for sweet revenge. *use the Cacophonic Conch once more to control the Deadly Six*
• Zavok: *roar* Make it stop! *jump high and destroy the whole rock ceiling to reveal the skylight*
• Uka Uka: Skylight! *see the rocks fall and cover his eyes* Oh, no! My eyes!
• Orbot: We got a bad feeling about this.
• Cubot: I still don't trust those Zetis.
• Zavok: *smash the ground with his members and roar in the sky* We are... tolerable.
• Cortex: What did you do there that was frightening?
• Eggman: When I use the Cacophonic Conch, it control the Zeti to use their ability to manipulate magnetic fields. The effect of the Cacophonic Conch is also very excruciating to Zeti, causing them great pain when hearing its sounds.
• Cortex: That is what you are doing to the Zeti right now.
• Eggman: Couldn't say it myself.
• Zavok: *point at Eggman* You! Come here!
• Eggman: Drat! We were caught!
• Cortex: Run away!
• Zavok: No! Stay here! *slap his hands while making a rock bridge to Eggman and Cortex's empire*
• Cortex: *trip* Ow! My legs. The Zeti want us over for our attention?
• N. Tropy: Oh really? You gain their attention to us, eggheads. Thanks a lot you two.
• Cortex: *laugh nervously* It is the Deadly Six. The Band of the Six Ogres.
• Zavok: Our enemies mistake us for ogres like trolls and orcs. Which one of you hypnotize our minds?
• Cortex: That... would... be... the doctor himself. *point at Eggman*
• Eggman: Excuse me? You accidentally use it on the monster lobsters first!
• Zavok: Dr. Ivo Robotnik. The Eggman. It is great to see you again. Your truly worst nightmares.
• Eggman: *laugh nervously* The Deadly Six! It is you! How much I miss you so much ever since we failed to beat Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails the Fox. *kiss Zavok's hand*
• Zavok: *move his hand from Eggman* Get off my hand you filthy human being.
• Eggman: My bad. You guys look the same and haven't changed since your first defeat.
• Zik: We are learning lot of from you, doctor. Still having trouble beating the hedgehog?
• Eggman: Yes. Failed to beat him by the lasers. Failed to beat him by the groin and failed to beat him with my Badniks! I always suck at beating him.
• Orbot: Anyways, allow us to introduce to the Army of Cortex.
• Cortex: Well hello there Warlords. Are you having a bad day?
• Zavok: Very so. We haven't gone out of the Sun just yet.
• Zazz: You guys are messing with our heads. What are you suppose to be? A bunch of mutated animals?
• N. Gin: We're scientists.
• Dingodile: I can make you some fried chicken if you like.
• Zazz: Fried chicken! *slurp his mouth* Yes! My personal favorite.
• Zomom: Hey! That was my question! You stole it from me!
• Zazz: Come on Zomom. All you gotta do is eat one hundred sandwiches a day without sharing. That's all you do every day and every year.
• Zomom: I don't share my lunch with everyone else. Everyone is entitled to have their own lunch while I'll have my own with tomato toppings on top of my sandwich.
• Zazz: Hater! I should have make you a noodle burger for dinner.
• Zor: So lame. You guys should be ashamed for fighting over sharing.
• Tiny: Tiny share our own weapons to everyone else.
• N. Tropy: I'll take it from here. One of you guys are going to work with us now until you guys shine your chance on taking over the universe, or else. The multiverse.
• Zik: The multiverse is one thing. We can control all the worlds we want when we get the chance to.
• Zeena: I'm going to get my nails done after this malarkey talk come to an end.
• Eggman: No one is going anywhere. You are now under the commands of the Eggman Empire. You, work, with, me, now.
• Zavok: *roar at Eggman* Is that a obvious question, doctor?!
• Eggman: Yes. Why not? Are you making fun?
• Zavok: None of my business. I would like to see Sonic and Tails' heads get torn apart into carpet rugs.
• Uka Uka: Sonic and Tails have more friends than just one. They are friends with a bunch of crazy bandicoots that spin through crates and collect wumpa fruits for snack. Also collect the power crystals and power gems for power.
• Zavok: What about it?
• Eggman: Sonic also got more friends. His girlfriend, an echidna warrior, a cute bunny with a Chao, a subject that escaped out of Project: Shadow, a bat, a E-series robot, a Squirrel-chipmunk and many more of his running friends that I despite the most! *furious* I could have crush a Miles Electric on the floor.
• Zavok: You don't have to live in fear anymore. You have with us with strength, abuse and enslavement!
• Eggman: Very wise. We make a new deal and contract together.
• Zavok: I can trust you with the simplest of tasks. We can use our powers to our advantage to destroy all the heroes of Mobius.
• Zik: You are free to chill. Once things start to go together, we will track down the heroes of Mobius and take over their precious home.
• Eggman: I love it. With the leech of life, we will massacre the Mobians and rule all of Mobius with our power and Badniks.
• Cortex: We will be there on the Zetis' reign.
• Metal Sonic: You finally got your wish.
• Zavok: Time will come. Their end is near and we still got time to train before the true final battle comes.
• Eggman: We better get to work now on our new plan.
• Uka Uka: Our plan new will be superior to the old plans that fails to stand out to succeed on beating the Freedom Fighters.
• Zik: A new plan and a new deal it is. I like the way you move.
• Zavok: Very good. As long the hedgehog and fox doesn't strike back, things will go smooth for us to leave the Lost Hex and take over the whole entire planet. *glares*
