Earth - Station Square - Chris' lab
[Lindsey, Chuck, Danny, Frances, and Helen are standing before Chris' abandoned portal.]
Lindsey: Christopher went to Sonic's world! Well, we have to bring him back! Right now!
Frances: I don't think we should try to operate his machine, Mrs. Thorndyke.
Danny: Only Chris understands how it works.
Chuck: I can't risk tampering with it, Lindsey. If I damaged it in any way, Chris might be trapped in Sonic's world forever.
Lindsey: [Frustrated] But we can't just leave him there![Nelson shows up and places his hand on Lindsey's shoulder.]
Nelson: We have to trust our son.
Lindsey: But...
Nelson: Chris knows how to take care of himself, and you know it's never wise to underestimate a Thorndyke.[Lindsey cries into Nelson's shoulder. Chuck nods as Helen rolls forward in her wheelchair.]
Helen: I'm sure Chris will try to communicate with us, Mrs. Thorndyke. We'll stay here at the lab and let you know right away if we hear from him.
Nelson: Thank you, Helen. Please do.
The Blue Typhoon - Bridge
The Blue Typhoon is cruising through deep space. Everyone is gathered on the bridge.
Cream: You detected one of the Chaos Emeralds?
Amy: Are you sure about this, Knuckles?
Knuckles: Yes. There's no doubt about it. I was in the engine room a few minutes ago when I saw the Master Emerald reacting to something.[A shot of the glowing Master Emerald is shown.]
Knuckles: It must have been an Emerald!
Amy: [To Tails] Check for a planet nearby.
Tails: Let's see...[He pulls up a map which appears in the midst of the group. Chris points to a spot on the map.]
Chris: There's one.
Cosmo: That's Planet Secco.[Sonic is reading a book titled "CosmoNav", which is a guide to the planets.]
Sonic: And according to my galactic guide book, it's dry as a bone.
Amy: Tails, we're gonna land on Planet Secco and find that Emerald! Let's go!
Tails: I'm supposed to give the orders...
Amy: Just do it.
Outside
[As the Blue Typhoon flies towards Secco, the Master Emerald glows intensely. Soon the ship enters Secco's atmosphere.]
Chris: According to the scope, there's a lot of water on this world.
Sonic: Oh no. We can't land here.[They break through the cloud layer.]
Sonic: There's gotta be some kind of mistake!
Tails: Tough luck, Sonic. [Chuckles][The Typhoon extends it stabilizer fins and descends toward the watery surface below.]
Tails: Splashdown!
[Soon, the Typhoon lands on the surface of the water, and everyone climbs into small one-seater submarines that are set up on the runway. As Tails is about to climb into his shuttle, Sonic frantically holds up the book to him.]
