*Based on Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2* Immediately after the ending of Emerald Quest I, Sonic and the gang have crash-landed on Earth in search of the two Chaos Emeralds there. They did a head count, and everyone seems to be okay, but Knuckles appears to be dead. They didn't want him to die for nothing, so they had to find Eggman and the Chaos Emeralds. But Knuckles is still alive, and searches for three of the Master Emerald shards, which split in three, and races against his rival Rouge to get them first. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik sends the Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad (Scratch, Grounder & Coconuts) to set up traps and capture Sonic and his friends while he and his new robots, the E-100 series, work on his new shuttle. Vanilla and Cream get captured, along with a race of adorable creatures called Chao, by the SSSSS Squad and now Sonic, Tails, & Amy must rescue them while everyone else look for the Chaos Emeralds. Will Cream and her mother be rescued? Will Knuckles get the Master Emerald shards before Rouge? What would happen if they meet Eggman?
