From team one to team three rewrite

Sonic Riders

It was night and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were on top of a building.

"I think the signal's coming from around here." Tails said holding a circular scanning device. "Hmm... that's really weird. It looks like something's jamming the radar signal."

Then they heard shattering glass nearby. Sonic turned to the direction of the noise.

"Hmm?" she said.

Higher up on another building, three figures cloaked within the night's shadows broke through a couple of windows; riding on Extreme Gears. Knuckles pointed to them.

"There! What's that?" he said. "I can't be Manic." he said and looked at Sonic. "Right?"

"No. He's not that great." Sonic said.

Then an icon on Tails' handheld device focused around its digital representation of the three airborne figures.

"Sonic! The Emerald's over there!" he said.

Everything is about to change

The three landed on the ground and, using their Extreme Gears, rushed off down the close-by street.

"All right! Now we're talkin'!" Sonic said and jumped off the building, spinning rapidly in the air during her descent.

Six police units were giving chase to the three figures. As Sonic landed on the ground, she braced herself to stop the Air boarders, but the one closest to her merely swerved past her. While she looked in surprise at the fleeing green rider, Knuckles dropped down behind her and punched one of the other two riders off his Gear and spiraling through the air. Tails looked at the insignia on the Extreme Gear, which depicted a lamp. The last of the three riders picked her grey companion out of the air and continued moving on without so much as pausing or breaking sequence.

"Shoot!" Knuckles said.

Then Sonic picked up the board dropped by the grey rider, flinging it into the air, ran towards and flipped herself onto it. Quickly making it into the tunnel where the action's taking place, she weaved in and out of the cars, until catching up with the green member of the trio. They exchanged a few blows; seeing that it wasn't working, Sonic swerved around the green rider, getting ahead of him.

"Oh, not bad." Jet said.

Clearing the tunnel, Sonic looked back, but noticed he disappeared.

"What the-?!" she said and looked up to see the competitor throttle down from the sky, his speed generating an incredible amount of wind behind him.

The pseudo-shockwave from his opponent's landing sent Sonic spiraling through the air.

"Hmph. So, you're supposed to be the fastest thing alive?" Jet said and rode out of view, as Storm, still hanging on to Wave's board grabbed his board out of the air.

Tails and Knuckles caught up to Sonic as she lifted herself off the ground.

"Oh, new competition!" she said smirking a little.

At Future City, Eggman broadcasted himself onto a large television monitor, which previously read "Air Board Festival".

"Muhahahaha!" Eggman said.

"Eggman!" Team Sonic said.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome everyone! I hope you're all ready for a show. We've got an exciting event just for you. Ho ho ho ho! Since you all seem so bored, I've put together a little extra something to spice things up! I call it the "EX World Grand Prix"! A tournament to see who's the best of the best with Extreme Gear!
