Before the Attack on Eggman's Base

Shadow was at Thorndyke Mansion lying on the roof, reading a book called "Walk on the Earth." then put it down.

"I guess I've seen every place there is to see on this planet, except for the places I'd have to swim to..." he said.

In the living room Cream and Cheese were finishing watching an episode of The Next Show.

"Bye-bye, my friends! I'll see you tomorrow!" Next said.

"Bye!" Cream said waving.

"Chao chao!" Cheese said as Ella entered carrying a pumpkin pie, and set it down in front of Cream.

"I thought you two might like a little snack." she said.

"Thank you." Cream said.

"Chao! Chao!" Cheese said.

Suddenly the TV's image changed to Channel 5 News.

"We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to go live to our SSTV correspondent Scarlet Garcia." a new reporter said.

Scarlet Garcia was then shown at an event and Jerome Wise was at the lectern.

"The President's top aide is going to make a statement before taking questions from the press core." she said.

"The President has decided to take action to stop Dr. Eggman!" Jerome said.

Ella, Cream, and Cheese stared at the screen.

"Huh? What?" Cream said.

At Eggman's base Eggman, Bocoe, and Decoe were watching the press conference from the command center.

"Has the administration developed a concrete plan to stop Dr. Eggman?" Journalist asked.

"Yes." Jerome said.

"Oh yeah?" Eggman said and pressed a button that powers down the screen. "Well, I hope they come up with a disaster management plan, because they're going to need it!" hesaid and belts out a hearty laugh.

Meanwhile Knuckles was scaling a cliff overlooking Station Square then reached the top.

"All right. Where's that Emerald?" he said then saw the X-Tornado fly past him before he ran back down the cliff.

The X-Tornado was carrying Tails, Chris, Amy, and Frances. Chris was wearing goggles.

"Amy, there's my house down there." Frances said.

"Which one?" Amy asked.

"Do you see the one with the red roof?"

"Yeah. That's great, Frances."

"You should come for a visit some time."

"I will! Thanks!"

"Hey Chris! Do you think we could fly over our school?"

"Uh... Well, I... Maybe..." Chris started but was cut off.

"Guys, this isn't a sightseeing trip. We gotta hurry and track down the next Chaos Emerald or Eggman'll get it before we do!" Tails said.

"I know, Tails. Sorry."

"It's all right. Hey Chris, where'd you get those new hi-tech goggles? From your grandpa?"

"No, my teacher Mr. Stewart gave them to me. Do you like them?"

"Mm-hm. They look pretty cool!"

"Yeah, they're one of the best gifts I ever got!"
