[The pyramid opens up revealing a large rocket]

Automatic Voice: Ready for launch! Primary engines on! Beginning lift-off countdown! [Sonic is seen running onto the rocket] 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...Shuttle lift-off!

[The rocket blasts off into space heading for the ARK; Sonic and the others are in the rocket heading for the ARK]

Sonic: So this is the space colony that Eggman is hiding.

[The rocket crashes into an asteroid]

Sonic: Woah!
Tails: Is everyone alright?

[The hatch in the rocket opens up releasing the pieces of the Master Emerald]

Tails: We should be landing soon.
Knuckles: Oh no! The hatch doors are open!
Sonic: Don't sweat it Knuckles! The only thing in the cargo bay are the Master Emeralds. Right?
Knuckles: What do you mean "don't sweat it?" Land the shuttle and let me out! [Tries to take control of the rocket]
Sonic: Knock it off Knuckles! We're going to crash if you keep that up! Oh no! Don't touch that lever!

[The rocket suddenly starts to spin out toward the ARK]

Sonic: Woah!!
Amy: Ahhh!!
Tails: Woah!!

[Inside Space Colony ARK - Cannon countdown: 2 hours 11 minutes]

Sonic: What's up with that knucklehead anyway! Trying to take over the shuttle! I thought we were toast for sure! [Looks around to find Knuckles isn't there] Huh? Where did he go now?
Tails: Looks like he bailed!
