Sand Ruins, used during Egman's Extreme Gear tournament, these buried stone structures was revealed to be part of the Babylon Empire, ancestral home of the Babylon Rouges and certain members of the Kukkus. "Arabian Niiiiights, like Arabian Daaaaayyys!" Bean sang, sitting on the deck of one of the airships flying over the skies, strumming on the guitar. "Silence!" Zachary hissed, bonking the duck on the head. He has already done all her can having the machine prepare another Anarchy Beryl from scratch, if he needed to speed it up, a real emerald is needed. They've just located another one, but 'Speedy' or his canine bounty hunters haven't return, so Zachary has taken upon himself to lead a small squad. While a certain few he doesn't mind, however those like this pyromaniac-toonish duck he can do without. "I await the the day you vanish from this era.""Uh?" Bean blinked, tilting his head confused.

About a mile away from them, a large smoky trail of sand crossed the dessert, thanks to a speedy hedgehog racing across. And it wasn't Sonic or Shadow. But the mysterious ghost hedgehog that drives Sonic and company off the wall with her crypticness. She and Metal's original plans were to find Mogul and beat him before he starts up any plans. But with Little Planet gone, no doubt the mammoth left it and vanished. It seemed they had no leads, but in the Planet Mobius, Chaos Emeralds, the ultimate McGuffins, were always a lead for everything. So, they decided to grab it, and hope Mogul will come to them, despite Aleena having an emerald herself to sustain her solidness. Without an emerald, she'll revert as a slight-less ghost.

" ...fan-tucking-fastic, I tell you." Flying right next to her was that metallic hedgehog, who seemed more or less apathetic to the situation; to the point where he was flying backwards, on his back; lounged back with his arms behind his head and his legs crossed, like he was lying on a hammock. " Mogul's somewhere out in this world... and you still won't answer my inquiries, Aleena." He actually let out a yawn at that. " Not much for conversation, are you?"

"Lt. Bean! Dr. Zachary!" A Kukku saluted before the two, "We've just detected another Chaos Emerald presence, this one however is on the move." "A walking Chaos Emerald?" Bean asked, pulling out from behind her, he put on some sunglasses and a AK-47, "Lets take it out!" BONK! Either this would prove useful, or a problem. Obviously this was someone else looking for the emerald, while they can get that person's, it depend who it is. "Locate the Emerald that is immobile first, we'll have the newcomer come to us."

"Hm?" she smirked, glancing up at the flying robot. She was a bit envied she couldn't fly, because she would love to do that, too. "We were talking? Sorry! The winds are just really loud!" she grinned.

" That was your excuse fifteen minutes ago." Metal pointed out. " And the one thirty minutes ago. And the one an hour ago. And the one 90 minutes ago. I could go on." Even though he said that, the Metallix seemed to find some humor in it, as he chuckled briefly.

"SCREEEE!!!!" Deploying from the Kukku airship, were metal birds flying through the air in multiple directions. Their mission was to locate the emeralds, and even deal with any trouble. Those machines was an early work of Fukurokov that Zachary himself perfect and modified for his uses. Such as using them as an extra set of eyes, as being able to see Metal Sonic and of course Aleena. "Well what do you know, the Fire Rat.""I made a fire rat once, I gave this rat one of my bombs to show him how shiny it was. Ten seconds later, BOOM, he was set aflame and was running around screaming." However what he saw was enough for Zachary to ignore the duck.

"Well what do you wanna talk about? How beautiful the dry land is? How fun it is to have sand fly up your face?" she laughed.

" I find the problem to be the fact that you don't want to talk about what I want to talk about." Metal replied nonchalantly; shrugging as he did. " But yes; pointless small-talk like that will simply have to do. For instance, have you noticed the aviary life in the sky recently?"

@pdrone@ "SCRAAA!" One of the robotic birds flew down to the two, from its head it shine a hologram before them of what seems to be a white cyborg echidna. Maybe not completely, but the being would be familiar to Aleena. "Fire-Rat, I have heard that you have cheated death as well." The cyborg turns its vision to Metal Sonic, "And this must be one of your 'sons', right?"
"She's Metal Sonic's mommy? Does that make Eggman the daddy?" This time, Zachary swatted Bean again, though off-screen.

"HUH?!?" she cried in shock, looking up at the bird, while running backward, "Huh?! Are you....uh...wait...who are you?"

" ...a cybernetic echidna, from the looks of it." Metal hummed dryly. " Should I call up Knuckles to tell him that he isn't the last remaining one after all? I'm sure he'd be thrilled to hear that."

"I have already have gotten the privilege to met one of my descendants. Needless to say, he wasn't as thrilled as you'd had expected. Shame he won't be getting more answers from you, since its true of your amnesia, Fire-Rat." The echidna said, "Very well, I'll be brief due to your condition; I am Zachary, I was a former colleague of your organization during the war, though we had a falling out due to my experiments."

"Ohhhh! Yeah, you!!" she nervously chuckled. "Didn't you...uh...built that underground city for the Hybrids?"

" ...whoever he is, I'm certain about one thing; he's not on our side." Metal hummed. " In fact, I'd ascertain that hë's after a certain shiny trinket as well."

"It had a different purpose than what it is being used for now, but yes. Also, your mechanical off-spring is correct. You might not recall, but I have an experiment I seek to finish, and the emeralds are required."

"Ehhhhh.....nope!" she scoffed. Turning around, she blasted off in a burst...sadly she wasn't as fast as Sonic...

Back at the ship, Zachary wasn't phased. "That girl may be over thousands of years old, but she still behaves no more than an infant.""They after the shiny rocks too?" "Shall we have the Pursuit Drones attack them, sir?" "In due time, I shall lead them in the battle.""You sir?" Both of Zachary's arms shined a bright red glow, though the one of the right was darker, "This shall prove a good opportunity to test my new Beryl in battle. Have the the drones get to the Emerald, they'll start the battle if the hedgehogs get to the emerald first, and I'll met up with them. Bean, you and that Bear companion of yours shall met up with reinforcements." Jets flared at Zachary's feet, as he flew into the air.

" ...sayonara." With a scoff, Metal waved at the bird before shooting after Aleena; still acting incredibly apathetic about the situation.

"Nice guy." she laughed, charging through the sand like a racer. "Hey, are we getting closer to the emerald?" She brought out her own emerald, hoping for it to shine. That would mean the emerald would pick up another.

" Well, you're the emerald radar this time around." Metal mused dryly. " Though if I were to guess, I'd surmise that the emerald was... buried, or... in some ruins... somewhere along those lines."

@pdrones@ Some of the robotic birds were concluding that too, while some scour over the sandy dunes, others were digging in the sand or exploring the tombs, detecting for any stronger surge of chaos energy.

"Man..." she hissed, staring at her emerald. "This thing isn't very specific or something. I'm not in the mood to play hot n cold ri-" And suddenly, the emerald glowed like a light bulb. "Whoa!" Skidding to a halt, on a dune, she saw many robots digging around some ruins that were nearly buried in the sand. "Never mind..."

" ...want me to distract them while you dig, or will you deal with the distracting while I dig?" Metal hummed, as he looked at the many robots digging about. " Either way, I'm keeping the emerald we find."

STOMP! Like a comet, Zachary crashed into the sand dune before them, on his knees with his visible mechanical arm in the sand. A few of the drones still dig, while the other half stone him in standing before the hedgehogs. "I see I am not late," Zachary said, getting up. The emerald would detect another one from the cyborg too, as well as something similar. Two shades of red still shone from Zachary. "I'm please you could have made it to another of my experiments, Aleena. Though this time, I can't promise that being in a comatose is an option."
