The Egg Fort was underneath the ocean.

"Dr. Eggman, the main engine has been repaired." Decoe said.

"Everything is in top-top shape." Bocoe said.

"Splendid!" Eggman said. "Now why does it always take you two slow-bots so long?" he asked glumly.

"It is because Decoe is grumpy and loves to complain about everything."

"This is the third time I had to fix this hunk of junk!" Decoe said and Eggman threw a can at him. "Ow! Uh, I mean, it is a pleasure to work on such a fine machine!"

"Now that's more like it." Eggman said.

"You'd better watch what you say, bigmouth." Bocoe said.

"You don't think the doctor will throw me on the scrap heap, do you?" Decoe asked.

"Now let's get going! We've gotta catch up with that pesky Sonic!" Eggman said.

"Aye-aye, sir!" Decoe and Bocoe said.

"Now fire up the main engine!" Eggman said and the engine ignited. "So far, so good... Now turn it up full blast!"

"It is purring like a kitten, Doctor!" Decoe said.

Suddenly the engine's power went out.

"Huh?"

"What happened?" Bocoe said.

Then they turned to Eggman.

"We have a problem, Doctor. I have a feeling the turbines are malfunctioning again." Decoe said.

"I thought you said you fixed this contraption!" Eggman said.

"We did! At least, I thought we did. Perhaps we could still repair it."

"Do not bet on it." Bocoe said.

"I've had it with this broken-down bucket. Perhaps it's time to retire this old heap and introduce my newest creation." Eggman said.

Decoe and Bocoe cup their hands around where their ears would be.

"Say what?" they said together.

"All right. I can't hold this off any longer. Have I got a surprise for you..." Eggman said.

On the cruise ship.

"We were all pretty worn out from searching for the Chaos Emeralds and battling Dr. Eggman. I had a long vacation from school coming up, so..." Chris narrated.

"I know just what you need. Why not take Grandpa and your friends on a cruise? I'm not using the yacht right now. You can take in some sun and maybe take a look at the glaciers." Nelson said.

Chris was relaxing in a deck chair.

"So that's just what we did - Nothing but relaxation and fun in the sun. We'll get to the glaciers in about four days." he narrated.

"Four days?!" Sonic said.

"You mean we're only halfway there?" Tails said.

"These yachts sure do go slow, don't they?" Cream said.

Sonic ran up to Chris.

"Give me a break, will ya? Come on, pal! I don't take to water! Can't you see I'm gettin' seasick here?" he said and Chris laughed. "Please, I beg ya, I'm goin' crazy! Get me off of this thing!" he said and went stir crazy and ran all over the ship in a frenzy.

Night fell.

"Later that night..." Chris narrated.

Chris, Chuck, Tails, Amy, Cream, and Cheese were in a sitting room and Amy was holding Cheese. Then Chuck appeared drunk.
