Peach, Toad, Amy and Cream continued to walk all across West Side Island, as night began to fall. They soon found themselves in one of the highest places, as well as the most dangerous one. The Hill Top Zone seemed to have been their best at this point, since it was the farthest away from anyone that could track them down...

Amy:"Mind the lava, Peach. It's gets pretty crazy up here on these mountains."

Peach:"I'm used to that kind of stuff. That's why I made sure to make all my dresses fireproof now."

Toad:"It seemed ridiculous at first, but after seeing how many places have in our world, it then seemed like a good idea."

Cream:"So Princess Peach, why does this Bowser go after you?"

Peach:"Hmph. Well, I could just say that he's in love with me. But there's actually a little more to it than that. You see, in my dimension, many kingdoms, including my own were at peace until the Koopas had found a way to go through different worlds through warp pipes and they began to conquer everything. My Kingdom is what stood between them and complete domination. Bowser may be a tyrant, but he wouldn't go as far as to harm a lady, it's one of the little things that's good about him. So...he figured that if he had my hand in marriage, then nothing would stand in his way of conquering everything. It was only because of the bravery of two young heroes that the kingdoms were saved, and...my heart was won by another..."

Cream:"Aw, the hero won your heart?"

Amy:"How does that feel? (twitches) Please tell me, because I honestly don't know."

Peach:"If I weren't royalty, would we be together. I can hardly recall everytime he's risked his life to save me and everything else back home. (sighs) I feel like I should give him more credit than what he gets."

Amy:"That's kinda sad."

Toad:"You don't know how many times we've had to put up with that. It's become a habit."

Peach:"What I wouldn't give to have a simple life, and to spend it all...with him."

Amy:"Heh. You and me both, sister."

Peach:"Do you have someone in your life as well, Amy?"

Amy:"Yeah...I just wish he could notice me. I love him, with all that I am. I just wish he'd give me more attention, that he'd even say yes to a proposal. But he doesn't want it that way."

Peach:"Well, Amy...sometimes, it's best to just let things fly. Maybe deep inside, he cares about you just as much as you do. You just have to wait and see."

Amy:"But, I've been waiting for yeeeeaaaaars!"

Cream:"It's true. All she wants is for her and Mr. Sonic to be a couple."

Peach:"Sonic? Is that the name of who you love?"

Amy:"Yeah...I'd love him more if he was so irritating most of the time. UGH."

Peach, Cream and Toad couldn't help but laugh a little at how cute Amy was acting right now. But then, their attention was soon brought over to something casting a shadow above everything. They all looked up to see a giant floating mechanism flying above them and heading over to angel island. Peach and Toad were both scared and confused by this, but Amy and Cream knew exactly who was behind this...

Cream:"Can it be?"

Amy:"Eggman."

At Bowser's Castle, the troops race the clock to get everything ready for a battle. Bowser was in his throne room at the moment, wondering why they haven't got any ships in the air...

Koopa:"Forgive our delay, my king. It's just that a quarter of the castle is still under reconstruction and we've yet to have only a few ships available for battle."

Bowser Jr.:"I do not seeing us winning this fight, dad. Should we abandon-?"

Bowser:"No, son! We are the conquerors, not the conquered! Make due with what we have, keep that enemy ship delayed for as long as possible!"

Koopa:"Uh...yes, sir!"

Bowser:"Kamek, have you yet to finish with that gem? We must stay out of harms way if we to continue having control over this island!"

Kamek:"Indeed, my king. Soon, we shall have power of this jewel under our control!"

Bowser:'I hope so. Get this rock back in skies as soon as possible!"

With that, airships took to the skies and headed for the flying mechanism that was coming towards the island. Inside the mechanism, there be someone in what appeared to be a control room. Screens appeared that Bowser's ships were beginning to intercept the flying vessel, but the look of the ships only made the person laugh...

?:"This army must be very primitive if all the have are ships made of sticks."

With Bowser's ships surrounding the vessel, the began to fire their cannons at it, giving it all they got. But didn't seem to even dent the armor of the ship...

?:"(evil laughter) My turn."

At the push of a button, drones came flying out of the vessel and they end up blasting through Bowser's forces. The army was shocked by this as they realized that they're own weapons are useless...

Koopa:"Those were the only defenses available at the moment, King Koopa. We're low on options."

Bowser:"Kamek?"

Kamek:"Just about finished, my King. Now, let's get this rock back in the air!"

Heading over to the island, Mario and Sonic were riding a plane, full speed ahead. But then, they heard rumbling coming from over there and they started to the entire rock began to rise. Not only that, but Sonic also something that seemed to be heading over there, almost immediately recognizing it...

Mario:"What is going on?"

Sonic:"The island seems to be rising again! But that's not it, look!"

Mario:"That looks like a flying fortress of some kind."

Sonic:"I know exactly what it is. Get ready for battle, Mario! We're heading over there!"

Mario:"I hope your friend, Knuckles has made it to the island by now!"

As the island now became airborn once more, Knuckles had managed to latch himself onto the crust of the rock as it slowly began to rise high into the sky...

Knuckles:"I'm not sure if this is good or bad. I doubt the Master Emerald is back where it belongs. If anyone's misusing it's powering, this whole island could be in peril."

Back in Bowser's Castle, the Master Emerald was now glowing with energy as Kamek now had total control over it...

Kamek:"At last. The power of this gem is our to command."

Bowser:"Perfect timing, Kamek. A few more seconds, and this castle would've been history."

Koopa:"Uh, sir?"

Bowser:"What is it?"

His underling pointed up to something flying in from the window. It was a tiny little black figure with devil horns, jet pack and yellow eyes. It was Bokkun, messager to the Eggman Empire. The minions inside the room, took a stance against the little guy as it lands in front of the Koopa King.

Bowser:"What is this? Who are you?"

Bokkun:"You in charge here?"

Bowser:"Yeah."

Bokkun:"I have a message for you."

Taking out a TV, Bowser and his minions take a look at what message Bokkun has in store for him. Turning itself on, the TV showed the face of Bokkun's master...

Eggman:"Greeting primitives. My name is Doctor Ivo Robotnik, Scientist Extraordinaire and Leader of the Eggman Empire."

Koopa:"Eggman Empire?"

Bowser:"What's this about?"

Eggman:"I see you have mistakenly claimed this island as your own. I'll have you know that all of Angel Island belongs to me alone, by right and deed! Especially it's Crown Jewel, the Master Emerald!"

Kamek:"That's the name of the Jewel we possess?"

Eggman:"This is your only warning! I'm only giving you several hours to surrender and give the island to me. Or else, I'll see to it that your forces are crushed! This message was brought to you by the Eggman Empire, which is now about to self-destruct."

Seeing the tv about to blow up in their faces, Bowser quickly clutched it in his hand, containing the blast. This left Bokkun scared as the King Koopa opened his hand to have the charred remains of the tv fall out of his hands and then turn his attention towards the little robot. Before he could fly, Bokkun was caught in Bowser's grip and was now face to face with the menacing King of Koopas...

Bowser:"SEND A MESSAGE OF MY OWN TO YOUR BOSS! TELL HIM THAT IF HE EVER THREATENS ME AGAIN, I'LL SEE TO IT PERSONALLY THAT HIM AND HIS EMPIRE ARE FRIED!"

Bokkun:"...Okay."

With that said, Bowser then takes Bokkun and throws him out of the window that he came through...

Bowser:"Nobody...threatens me."

Koopa:"What are we to do, King Koopa? I fear that it may not be long before the ship of the Robotnik guy catches us all the way up here."

Bowser:"Hmm...Kamek, is there a way to weaponize the energy of this Master Emerald?"

Kamek:"Possibly. I'll see what I can do, my King."

Bowser:"Good. And as for you, have this castle entirely rebuilt and functioning. And prepare new ships for battle. This Robotnik will have to take this island from my cold dead claws if he has to!"

Koopa:"Yes, sir!"

Back on the flying vessel, Eggman himself room, hoping to have everything ready for a proper attack on Bowser's Castle if the Koopa King herself doesn't answer to his demands...

Eggman:"Whoever these people are, they will surely be smart enough to surrender. Else, I'll have no other choice but to-"

Suddenly, it was then that Eggman heard what sounded like high-pitched screaming. He looked around and was then shocked to see Bokkun flying through the window, and landing on his face in front of the good doctor...

Eggman:"Bokkun?! Are you insane?"

Bokkun:"straining) No...just damaged."

Eggman:"Ugh, why did I never dismantle you? Report."

Bokkun:"They seem to be a reptilian species of some sort. Their leader, is huge and menacing. He threw from his castle. He said to deliver a message of his own to you. That he will fry your Empire if we threaten him again"

Eggman:"Hmph. Not a problem for me. I'll see to it that these reptiles are blown off the face of this planet."

Just then, an alert turned on and Eggman checked to see what is going on. He was surprised to see that something landed onto his ship, being a plane and the two passengers, one being the meddlesome hedgehog he hates most in life and the other being someone he's never seen before, but the look of him made Eggman curious...

Bokkun:"Sonic, just what we needed today. Never seen that other guy before, not on Mobius anyway."

Eggman:"Doesn't matter. I'll see to it that those two don't make it off my Egg Carrier alive!"

Setting foot on the nose of the Egg Carrier, Mario and Sonic start making their way to the bridge of the vessel...

Mario:"You ever with one of these things, before?"

Sonic:"Many times. Just follow me lead!"

Eggman:"(Through speaker) Don't think it'll be that easy. You won't be so lucky once I destroy you!"

Sonic:"Keep talking, Egghead! That's all you're good for!"

Eggman:"I would love to deal with you myself personally, Sonic. Unfortunately, I have an island to reclaim in the process!"

Sonic:"Come on, Mario! Let's trash this scrapheap!"

Mario:"Let's-a go!"

As the continue moving through the Egg Carrier, they stopped as they felt things start to shift...

Mario:"You felt that too, didn't you?"

Sonic:"Yeah. These things have a tendency to change shape in order to make things more difficult for us"

Mario:"Is there any way to get to him now?"

Sonic:"Yeah, but it's gonna be a little hard."

Mario:"No problem. How bad could it be?"

3:30 minutes of gameplay later...

Mario:"(exhausted) Okay, I stand corrected.

Sonic:"You get used to it, now come on. Eggman shouldn't be that far from here."

As Mario and Sonic head up towards the bridge, a big surprise awaits them on top...
