a magic carpet (which was a prototype Extreme Gear).

* - At night, on top of a building...
TAILS: I think the signal's coming from around here.
* - Tails is holding a circular scanning device, with the words "Jamming Wave"
displayed on its screen.
TAILS: Hmm... that's really weird. It looks like something's jamming the radar
signal.
* - The sound of shattering glass resounds nearby. Sonic turns to the direction
of the noise.
SONIC: Hmm?
* - Higher up on another building, three figures cloaked within the night's
shadows break through a couple of windows; all three figures are riding
on Airboards. Knuckles points to them.
KNUCKLES: There! What's that?
* - An icon on Tails' handheld device focuses around its digital representation
of the three airborne figures.
TAILS: Sonic!! The Emerald's over there!
* - The three land on the ground and, using their Airboards, rush off down
the close-by street.
SONIC: All right! Now we're talkin'!
* - Sonic jumps off the building he's on, spinning rapidly in the air during
his descent. Six police units are giving chase to the three figures. As
Sonic lands on the ground, he braces himself to stop the Airboarders, but
the one closest to him - green in color - merely swerves passed Sonic.
While Sonic looks in surprise at the fleeing green rider, Knuckles drops
down behind Sonic and punches one of the other two riders - this one
grey - off his board and spiraling through the air. Tails looks at the
insignia on the Airboard, which depicts a lamp. The last of the three
riders - who's purple - picks her grey companion out of the air and
continues moving on without so much as pausing or breaking sequence.
KNUCKLES: Shoot!
* - Sonic picks up the board dropped by the grey rider, then flinging it into
the air, runs towards and flips himself onto it. Quickly making it into
the tunnel where the action's taking place, Sonic weaves in and out of the
cars, until catching up with the green member of the trio. They exchange
a few blows; seeing that it isn't working, Sonic swerves around the green
rider, getting ahead of him.
[G-RIDER]: Oh, not bad.
* - Clearing the tunnel, Sonic looks back, but his rival's disappeared.
SONIC: What the--?!
* - Sonic looks 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 sends Sonic spiraling through the air, just
like the grey rider who Knuckles punched before.
[G-RIDER]: Hmph. So, you're supposed to be the fastest thing alive?
* - He rides out of view, as the grey rider - still hanging on to the purple
rider's board - grabs his board out of the air. Tails and Knuckles catch
up to Sonic as he lifts himself off the ground.
SONIC: Oh, new competition!

* - Eggman broadcasts himself onto a large television monitor, which previously
read "Air Board Festival".
EGGMAN: Oh, hohohohoho!
SONIC, TAILS, KNUCKLES: Eggman!!
EGGMAN: Ladies and gentleman! Welcome everyone! I hope you're all ready for a
show; we've got an exciting event, just for you. Hohohohoho! Since you
all seem so bored, I put together a little something extra 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. Not just a race, but a
special race, to see who's the fastest. And... these races are
no-holds-barred! All contestants pay a simple entry fee of one Chaos
Emerald, and the winner takes it all! So, let's see who among you dares
to meet this challenge!
* - The monitor goes back to its previous Air Board advertisement.
SONIC: Eggman again! Just what is he up to this time?!
* - Eggman reappears on the screen.
EGGMAN: And there's more! Before I forget, I'll present the current
contestants. These players, they're hot; the best racers I could find!
* - The three individuals from the previous night appear on the monitor, along
with the statistics for their Airboards; Storm the Albatross (grey), Wave
the Swallow (purple), and Jet the Hawk (green). As Jet's information comes
up on-screen--
SONIC: Hey, that's...! ...The EX World Grand Prix, huh? Let's do this!
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
KNUCKLES: Yeah, but what exactly is Eggman really after?
SONIC: Aw, it can't be anything too important.
AMY: Hey Sonic!!
SONIC: Huh? Amy...?
* - Sonic's eyes droop; Amy runs up to him, screeching to a halt.
SONIC: Don't tell me you've signed up too?
AMY: Of course. It really looks exciting and fun. Why wouldn't I join? And
besides... this way, I'll be able to keep my eyes on you. *wink*
SONIC: Ugh.
* - Tails is looking at Sonic's board.
SONIC: Tails?
TAILS: Hmm... That mark... *flashback to the emblem on Storm's board*
SONIC: Mark?
TAILS: Uh-huh. I think it was on the boards of those guys we ran into in Future
City. ...Babylon...
SONIC, KNUCKLES, AMY: Babylon?
TAILS: Yes; the mark of the Babylon Rogues. A long time ago, there was a
floating island known as Babylon Garden. Supposedly, robbers lived
there. According to rumors... this "legendary" band, the Babylon Rogues,
were great thieves.
* - A series of hieroglyphics illustrate what Tails says.
TAILS: Legend also says that the Babylon Rogues incurred the wrath of the Gods
because of their crimes, and that the island was cast into the depths
of the Earth. After that, supposedly the Babylonians were then scattered
for all time, never to be found. But they say that the Babylon Rogue's
treasure still remains on that island, waiting to be discovered.
* - The hieroglyphics end.
TAILS: There are also rumors that the Babylon Rogues were Extreme Gear
specialists.
KNUCKLES: Still, how can a plank like that just float?
TAILS: That's easy to explain. According to the Kutta-Joukowski Lift Theorem,
the control surface flow is balanced by the inverse kinetics of the--
* - Knuckles eyes start spinning.
KNUCKLES: STOP!! I get it, okay?! It just floats and that's good enough for me!
WAVE: Ah-hahahaha!
* - Wave walks up to everyone.
KNUCKLES: Huh?
WAVE: Sorry, but it's just too funny! Huh? That Gear's unusual.
TAILS: Customized it myself.
WAVE: *picks it up* Hmm... *turns it around* Hmm! Hahahahahaha! Well, I never
imagined anyone would enter the race with such a piece of junk. Hahaha!
*hands it back to Tails* Thanks though. It was good for a laugh. See ya,
shorty!
* - Wave walks away.
AMY: Oh that girl! Who does she think she is?!
SONIC: Yeah! How can she just walk in and diss Tails?
KNUCKLES: I know! And tinkering's all he's really good at, too.
* - Tails, looking in Wave's direction, appears infuriated.
OMOCHAO (speakers): The next race is about to begin. Please come to the gate,
participants!
* - Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy all start running to the gate.

* - Knuckles walks past a couple of robots. As he turns a corner, he and Storm
bump into each other (literally), resulting in Knuckles lying on the floor.
After a moment to take in what just happened, they point to each other--
KNUCKLES, STORM: Ah!
KNUCKLES: It's you!
STORM: I'll make sure to pay you back for this!
* - Knuckles stands up.
KNUCKLES: Hah! I let you get away last time, but definitely NOT today!
STORM: Why wait 'til later, you little punk? I'll pay you back tenfold, NOW!
* - Knuckles starts to wind up a punch, but hits the robot behind him instead.
As it falls down against Knuckles, he props it up.
KNUCKLES: Em, sorry.
STORM: Wa-hahahaha! What're you doin', you clumsy fool? Was that supposed to be
some kind of punch?
* - Storm begins to wind up a punch of his own.
KNUCKLES: Nice try, buddy!
* - Knuckles dodges to the side, making Storm hit the robot by accident. Storm
walks closer to the robot.
STORM: Sorry there! It wasn't my fault! If he hadn't jumped out of the way just
now, I would've clobbered--
* - The robot's arm comes off in Storm's hand, right before it blows up.
KNUCKLES: --WHAT?!
OMOCHAO: The race is about to start! All participants, please get to your
positions now.
KNUCKLES: Gah! The track then; we'll settle this there!
STORM: Looking forward to it!

* - Sonic launches off a ramp, doing three right-spin tricks, as Tails and
Knuckles watch.
OMOCHAO (speakers): The semifinal race will begin in ten minutes! Please
convene at the gate prior to that time.
SONIC: Hah!
* - He flips off his board, catches it, then lands on the ground.
TAILS: That's cool, Sonic! When did you learn those techniques?
SONIC: He-heh!
JET: Not very impressive for someone of your reputation.
* - Jet's standing on a tree branch.
SONIC: You...
JET: You know, I've checked you out actually. Not bad; I admit you're pretty
fast on your feet. But here, it's a whole different story when riding with
Extreme Gear! You see, to be the fastest on a Gear, you have to become
one with the wind! Without wings, well, you might as well kiss the ground
and go home!
* - Jet leaps into the trees above him.
JET: Ah-hahahahahaha!
KNUCKLES: Who does he think he is?!
SONIC: Hmm... Well I don't think he's all talk, you know; I better be on my
toes during this competition.
WAVE (Tails' memory): "I never imagined anyone would enter the race with such
a piece of junk."
TAILS: Sorry, Sonic; I just need to fine tune some things, then your Extreme
Gear will be at a hundred percent.
SONIC: Hey Tails, you always do your best, so don't worry.
TAILS: Yeah, but she has a point; she's a really brilliant mecha mechanic.
Sonic! Don't worry; I'll unlock the secret of the Extreme Gear for us!
* - Sonic nods.

OMOCHAO (speakers): Now, our race has reached its final stage. The remaining
competitors are pacing, anxious for the race to begin.
Only a few minutes left. Who will win this big event?

AMY: Sonic! Congratulations! I'll be over here, cheering you on!
* - Sonic nods; Amy smiles. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Jet all start walking
up the coliseum's large staircase.
EGGMAN (television): And now, it's time for the final event! And it's set
here... in Sand Ruins! The rules are still the same;
anything goes in this extreme race! Although it needs no
further explanation, the first one to reach the goal will
win this race!
* - Five of the seven Chaos Emeralds are set on an "altar" at the stair's top.
EGGMAN (television): But remember, the prize will be won by the racer who's
performed the best throughout this competition!
* - Sonic takes out his Emerald; Jet does the same.
JET: Hah, you're lucky you got this far. It obviously wasn't due to your,
"skills."
SONIC: Heh, I won't lose now.
* - They both set their Emeralds down.
EGGMAN (television): Hohoho! Get ready; it's time for the final race to begin!

$#  Sand Ruins - the end of the race  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
* - Sonic and Jet have made it to the clear area behind the coliseum; without
any obstacles, and Sonic in the lead, the outcome seems assured.
JET: No!!
* - Wave's standing behind a stone slab in the middle of the area. As Sonic
passes her by, she presses a remote control, detonating an explosive on
the underside of Sonic's board just as he enters the coliseum. Jet riders
passed both him and the goal, taking First Place; with confetti falling,
the crowd gathered in the entire coliseum cheers. Jet goes over to Sonic.
JET: Ah, the dirt suits you so well.
* - Jet gets back on his board; Sonic hits the ground in frustration. Jet
rides to the Chaos Emeralds, where he raises his control box. The Emeralds
rise into the air and encircle Jet.

$#  Sand Ruins - Full Motion Video (FMV)  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
* - Each of the Chaos Emeralds shoots a small beam of light into the control
box, which ignite a glowing sphere inside it. Said sphere fires a beam of
light like the Emeralds, but aiming it out at the desert. In the distance,
mountains of dirt are thrown out as a loud rumbling starts. A floating
ruin - Babylon Garden - raises out of the sand and into the sky.
JET: This... this is... Babylon Garden...
* - A crane outreaches and grabs the control box out of Jet's hand, with an
added (comedic) 'popping' sound. Jet, dazed by the sight of Babylon Garden,
doesn't notice the crane, but only flexes his hand slightly with the feel
of the box missing; by the time Eggman speaks, Jet notices the box is gone.
EGGMAN: Hohohohoho! Now I'll get the Treasure of Babylon!
AMY: Oh no!
* - Amy runs up to Eggman, and grabs onto the machine he's using to fly.
Ignoring Amy, Eggman takes off for Babylon Garden.
JET: Eggman!
SONIC: Tails! Knuckles! We gotta get Eggman!
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  The sky near Babylon Garden  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
* - Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are in the Tornado, next to Jet's airship. Eggman
cruises by on his motorcycle-thingy down below, on Babylon Garden.
SONIC: I found you!
* - Sonic prepares to jump off the Tornado, but Tails stops him.
TAILS: Wait, Sonic; use this!
* - Tails tosses Sonic a new Airboard, the Blue Star II.
SONIC: What is it?
TAILS: It's a new Gear I prepped up, just in case something like this happened.
SONIC: Thinking ahead Tails? Thanks!
* - Sonic dives off the Tornado; Jet meets him in the air.
SONIC: Jet...
* - They both land on the Garden.
JET: You can't catch up with him! Get outta my way!
SONIC: Is that what you think? Take a look at this! I'll show you what true
speed really is!

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
* - Sonic crosses the finish line first, with Jet just a bit behind. Sonic
stops and turns around, right as Jet loses balance and gets sent spiraling
through the air.
SONIC: Even without wings, I can still fly! Right?
* - Jet hits the ground in frustration. Elsewhere in Babylon Garden, Eggman is
in front of a huge door covered with markings.
SONIC: Where are you, Eggman?!
* - Sonic gets off his board; but as he walks closer to Eggman, the doctor
reaches into a bush and pulls out Amy.
EGGMAN: Haha! Look before you move!
SONIC: Darn!
* - Jet comes into view.
EGGMAN: Hohohoho! Now then... just be a good hedgehog and stay still.
* - Eggman smirks. He starts to raise Jet's control box up to the door, but--
SONIC: Now!!
* - Sonic charges up the thrusters on his board, taking off into the air,
leaving a whirlwind in his wake. Eggman shields his eyes.
SONIC: Can you catch the wind?
* - As Eggman opens his eyes, he sees that Sonic's gone.
EGGMAN: What?! Where are you?!
SONIC: I'm here!
* - Sonic crashes straight down from above, sending Eggman and Amy into
another tornado. Sonic catches the control box as it flies from Eggman's
grip.
SONIC: Hey, catch!
* - Sonic tosses it to Jet; he catches it.
JET: Wh-what?!
* - Sonic lands in front of Jet; Tails and Knuckles stand next to Sonic.
JET: Hmph! I lost. So don't play games with me. I don't want your pity, nor
do I need it!
* - Jet hands the control box out to Sonic.
WAVE: Wha-? Are you crazy?
* - Wave and Storm walk in.
WAVE: If they don't want it, then let's take it. Treasure is treasure.
* - Jet looks down, but follows Wave and Storm.
SONIC: Ah, I think it's time to leave now. Tails?
TAILS: Yeah.
* - Sonic, Tails and Knuckles turn to leave.
AMY: So-NIIIC?!
* - Sonic looks more than a bit scared.
SONIC: Amy...?
* - Amy's looking at the ground.
AMY: How could you dive into Eggman knowing I was there!?
SONIC: Well, Amy... I thought... it'd be... okay... with you, and, uh...
* - Amy looks up, glaring at Sonic. She starts chasing him with her hammer.
AMY: Sonic!! Come back HERE! AHHH!! Sonic! I won't forgive you this time!
* - Amy chases Sonic back to Tails and Knuckles, who they then proceed to run
around in circles.

$#  The Babylon Rogues' airship  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
* - The airship is flying near a couple of mountains at night as Eggman
approaches from behind in a small machine. Inside Jet's room, Jet is
holding his control box. As Storm runs to the door from outside, his feet
thump loudly on the floor; reaching the door, he abruptly flings it open.
STORM: Hey, boss!
JET: Wha--?!
* - Jet falls out of his seat. Storm bangs on the desk.
STORM: We've got MAJOR trouble!!
* - Wave walks up to the side of the door.
WAVE: Storm! At least learn to knock before entering a room.
* - Storm, looking back, shrugs. He picks Jet's control box up off the table.
STORM: What's this? Oh, is this...?
* - Jet stands up.
JET: Yeah. That's when I took over things for my father.
WAVE: So is this the key to the fabled Babylon Garden?
STORM: I wonder... Could it be true? Could our ancestors have left behind
hidden treasure that's just waiting to be discovered?
* - Jet nods.
WAVE: Hmm...
* - Wave reaches for the control box, but Storm pulls it away.
STORM: Uh-uh! If you get your greasy little hands on this, you'll probably use
it in some crazy experiment of yours!
WAVE: Oh, come on; I only want to look at it.
STORM: You always say you ONLY want this or that!
* - Jet sits down. As Storm walks, Jet looks progressively more annoyed and
impatient.
STORM: Remember the teachings of our ancestors, "Be careful what you ask for,
ultimately you'll only get three true wishes."
JET: Oh, be quiet! Why'd you burst in here anyway?!
STORM: Well, uh, an egg head? Egg, salad? No...
* - Wave puts her arm in front of Storm.
WAVE: Someone called Eggman wants to speak to you.
* - Storm pushes Wave aside.
STORM: He told me that he has an interesting proposition for you.
* - Wave pushes back.
WAVE: Stop interrupting. Knock it off!
* - They turn their back to each other.
STORM: Hmph!
* - Eggman walks in.
EGGMAN: Ahem... am I interrupting anything?
JET: So then, I heard you wanted to see me?
EGGMAN: Are you Jet, the legendary Rogue? Your reputation precedes you. I've
heard so much about your infamous group.
JET: Enough! What do you want?
EGGMAN: Well now, I heard a rumor... a rumor that you have the key to Babylon
Garden. Now, could this be true?
* - Eggman looks at the control box in Storm's hand, light flashing across
his glasses. Storm notices; hiding the box behind his back, he whistles
innocently.
JET: Huh? What's this key?
EGGMAN: Hohohohohoho! Really now, you don't have to be so distrusting... Were
you aware of this? I imagine not, yet. The key to Babylon Garden is...
* - Eggman moves over to Jet, finishing his sentence by whispering.
JET: Heh. So let me get this straight; we just need to collect all these Chaos
Emeralds, right?
* - Eggman nods.
JET: Sounds easy.
EGGMAN: You really think so, eh?
JET: What do you mean? Are you saying the Babylon Rogues aren't capable of
stealing some puny emeralds?
EGGMAN: No, of course not. But... have you seen this character before?
* - Eggman presses a few buttons on his coat's left arm's wrist, producing a
hologram of Sonic which displays statistics about him.
EGGMAN: He's called Sonic, and said to be the fastest creature on Earth. I've
had many, many dreadful encounters with this pest.
JET: Hmph. He may be the fastest creature on the ground, but in the air, with
me and my Extreme Gear, he's just a joke. AH-hahahahaha!

WAVE: Ah-hahahaha!
* - Wave walks up to everyone.
KNUCKLES: Huh?
WAVE: Sorry, but it's just too funny!
* - Wave looks over at Tails, who's holding Sonic's Airboard, the Blue Star.
WAVE: (Let's see...) Huh? That Gear's unusual.
TAILS: Customized it myself.
WAVE: *picks it up* Hmm... (This isn't half bad for an amateur. Still, you can
never be too careful.)
* - Wave turns the board around and places a small bomb on it.
WAVE: Hmm! Hahahahahaha! Well, I never imagined anyone would enter the race
with such a piece of junk. Hahaha! *hands it back to Tails* Thanks
though. It was good for a laugh. See ya, shorty!
* - Wave walks away.
AMY: Oh that girl! Who does she think she is?!
* - Wave smirks as she walks away.

holding his control box. As Storm runs to the door from outside, his feet
thump loudly on the floor; reaching the door, he abruptly flings it open.
STORM: S-Sorry!
JET: Wha--?!
* - Jet falls out of his seat. Storm bangs on the desk.
STORM: Boss? T-The red dude beat me, in the race...!
* - Jet pulls himself up, using the desk as a support, then growls at Storm.
Wabe walks up to the side of the door.
WAVE: Man, you really ARE worthless.
* - Storm looks back at Wave, but then turns again to Jet.
STORM: Boss, it wasn't my fault! H-he must've cheated; that's it. He must've
used some special type of Gear!
WAVE: What?! Are you implying that you lost because of MY Gear?! No one can
tune a Gear the way I can! Accept it, buddy - it's not the board; your
skills just suck.
STORM: W-wh... W-wha? S... S... S-Suck?
WAVE: Yes. S-U-C-K. Suck.
STORM: Su... su... su--
JET: --Stop it!! New, let's get down to business. I believe our colleague,
Eggman... He's gotta be hiding something. And you know... I don't like
secrets, so I've got a job for you, Storm.
STORM: Sure!
JET: I want you to sneak into Eggman's base, and find out what he's hiding
there! Make sure you look carefully.
* - Storm salutes.
STORM: You got it, boss.
* - Storm turns to leave, but--
JET: Hey, before you go... Bring something back, or don't return at all.
STORM: Yes, SIR!!
* - Storm runs out of the room at blazing speed. He passes the door, turns
back to Jet, salutes again, and slams the door shut, knocking a framed
picture off the wall, which falls down on Jet.
JET: AHHH!!
* - Jet kicks the painting away, then kicks his table away also.

* - In the forest, Jet lies on the ground, asleep. Waking up a little and then
yawning, he leans back, prepared to return to sleep. However, Wave walks
by, interrupting his nap.
WAVE: Oh... oh boy, oh boy... Ugh!
* - Jet wakes up.
JET: Huh?
WAVE: Hmph, what's taking Storm so long?
JET: Just sit down and relax. Chill, Wave.
WAVE: Really, Jet! How can you be so relaxed at a time like this?! Don't you
see? As you leader, you've got responsibilities. Some you understand,
but you--
* - Wave's voice changes into a high-pitched, squeaky, inanely fast tone as
Jet tunes her out. After a while, Jet notices something.
JET: Huh?
* - Sonic launches off a ramp, doing three right-spin tricks, as Tails and
Knuckles watch.
JET: Hmm, I think it's time for a little fun.
* - Jet tiptoes away, taking care not to make any noise (Wave, during her
lecture, closed her eyes); he makes it into the clear. After a few moments,
Wave sees that he's gone.
WAVE: Huh?
* - She sees Jet jumping up some trees.
WAVE: Hey, Jet! You come back here! Right now! ...Why do I even bother? Unless
I take charge, nothing ever gets done here.
* - She picks up her board and walks off.

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
* - Storm rides towards Jet and Wave, who're by a ruin next to the coliseum.
STORM: Boss! Sorry to keep you waiting for me!
* - He comes to a grinding halt, which knocks him off his board, facedown on
the sands.
JET: How'd it go?
* - Storm stands up, panting. He extends a small microchip out to Jet.
STORM: Take a look at this, boss!
WAVE: Gimme! *takes it*
* - Waves takes it. It projects a fast-paced stream of data onto a holographic
monitor.
WAVE: Uh-huh. Yes. Hmm? Is this...?
JET: What is it?
STORM: It's an entry in Eggman's diary. It's about the Babylon treasure from
our ancient ancestors.
* - A few new screens appear.
JET: Hmm... "Hahahaha! I got those birdbrains to believe that Babylon treasure
was just a gem."
* - Jet's and Eggman's voices start to meld, as Eggman begins to narrate.
JET/EGGMAN: "I can't believe that fell for it! What fools!"
* - Eggman switches over entirely.
EGGMAN: "Can you believe the REAL treasure is the ancient, but advanced
technology of the Babylonians? What irony! I've found a story about a
boy who received an Angel Wing from the Babylonians as a gift. The
story says that with it, the boy was able to rule the world. And this
was just a gift! I'm anxious to find this technology as soon as
possible. Imagine the vast possibilities of the technology they must
have kept for themselves. Hehehehehe!"
* - The diary entry ends.
STORM: Aw man, I guess it's not a gem after all...
JET: Hmm.
* - Jet picks up his board and starts walking.
JET: Oh well; guess this was just a wasted effort. Too bad, really; I haven't
the slightest interest in world domination or advanced technology.
WAVE: Hey, wait a second, okay Jet?
* - Jet stops walking.
WAVE: While Eggman may not look smart, he is; he has an IQ of three-hundred
after all. If he's interested in this technology, it must have value.
JET: Are you saying there's profit in this?
WAVE: Think about it; it may be more valuable than finding silver or gold!
JET: Ah...
* - Jet imagines himself standing amid piles and piles of gold coins.
JET: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
* - Wave's alarm sounds.
JET: Why'd you do that? I was just having this great daydream.
* - Wave turns the alarm off.
WAVE: Come on Jet, it's time to go back to the race.
JET: Alright, let's finish this; then we'll finally get the treasure of
Babylon!
* - Jet, Wave and Storm all ride off towards the coliseum.

off his board, while Knuckles lands perfectly.
WAVE: Oh man, looks like we have company.
KNUCKLES: We gonna rumble?
* - Knuckles and Storm walk up to each other, preparing to fight. A series of
Eggman's robots approach everyone, setting their targets on Knuckles/Storm.
ROBOT 1: Targeting... targeting... Attack!
* - The horde of robots run towards Knuckles and the rest. Tails stands up.
TAILS; Knuckles, now's not the time to fight!
WAVE: Smart thinking. Let's get outta here! Forget the red mutt; let's go,
Storm!
KNUCKLES: Did she say, "Red mutt"?!
* - Storm and Wave ride away, with Knuckles tailing them.
KNUCKLES: Why...Why you!
TAILS: Hey Knuckles, wait for me!
* - Tails dashes to his board. Getting on it, he darts away, demolishing the
robots with his turbulence.

JET: Hmph! I lost. So don't play games with me. I don't want your pity, nor
do I need it!
* - Jet hands the control box out to Sonic.
WAVE: Wha-? Are you crazy?
* - Wave and Storm walk up to everyone.
WAVE: If they don't want it, then let's take it. Treasure is treasure.
* - Jet looks down, but follows Wave and Storm.
WAVE: Come on, let's get out of here!
* - They go to the door where Eggman was.
JET: Okay; let's go!
* - Jet raises his control box up to the door. A bright light shines from
within it, opening the door, revealing a large chamber inside with a door
on the far end. Back outside, Amy is chasing Sonic in circles around Tails
and Knuckles, but they stop as the Babylon Guardian lets out a growl.
SONIC: Wha? Hmm, finally something interesting.
* - Back in the chamber, Jet, Wave and Storm pass through the second door into
an enormous and seemingly endless corridor. As they get a ways into the
passage, the Babylon Guardian growls again; with that, the doors begin to
close. Sonic & co. are in the chamber, heading for the corridor.
TAILS: Look Sonic, the door's closing!
SONIC: Hurry up!
* - They make it in just as the doors shut completely. With everyone sealed in
the room, the Babylon Guardian makes his entrance.
BABYLON GUARDIAN: Greedy fools. Those who seek treasure will find only--
SONIC: Whoa, what's this?!

Sonic & Jet open the chest.
ALL: Oh, its--

EGGMAN: Hehehehe! Too awestruck by the treasure to notice me, eh?
SONIC: Eggman?!
EGGMAN: Now hand over the treasure!
SONIC: Uh... Hehehe!
EGGMAN: Wh-what's so funny? Hand over the treasure right now!
JET: Okay, catch!
* - Jet tosses Eggman the treasure; a carpet.
EGGMAN: Hehehehehe! The Treasure of Babylon is finally mine! Huh? What IS this
thing? A piece of cloth...?
* - Eggman unfolds the carpet, letting a letter fall to the ground.
EGGMAN: Let's see... Ah, this looks interesting. "At long last we've created
our ultimate invention. With this, our lives will be easier, without
the need to work so hard to keep ourselves flying. Stolen, the 13th
leader of the Babylon Rogues."
* - Eggman picks up the carpet.
EGGMAN: It's amazing! The carpet's rich texture is a sight to behold! And the
way it feels is extraordinary.
* - He brushes it against his face.
EGGMAN: Something such as this could only have been created in Babylon.
Undoubtedly, this carpet will be in high demand from all around the
world. But... But what's this? No way... I went to the trouble of
holding the World Grand Prix for... f-f-for this? I-I can't believe I
just wasted my time for THIS piece of junk!
