Babylon Rogues' ship. Inside the ship, Wave is working at her computer while Jet is sitting at his desk and waiting. Suddenly, he gets angry and hits the table.

"He's late! What's taking Storm so long, anyway?!"

Storm bursts into Jet's office.

"Sorry, Boss!"

"You're late!"

"But I brought back something good!"

Storm puts two Arks of the Cosmos on Jet's desk. Jet takes them.

"Not bad, Storm, not bad."

"Heh heh..." Storm giggled.

"Jet." Wave said.

"What is it?" Jet asked.

"I found a passage in that ancient text that has me wondering... I'll try to paraphrase it simply enough for you to follow."

"Mm? Let's hear it!" Jet said, sitting down.

"...We've reached our decision. We must severe the engine unit from this vessel."

Computer shows Astral Babylon sinking into darkness.

"For if we delay, the contraction of the engine's core will lead the lightless black to consume everything..."

Eggman is behind the door to Jet's office, looking into the office. He sees the Arks of the Cosmos and smiles.

"Lightless black?! What the heck does that mean?"

"Who can say? What are your thoughts?" Wave asked.

"How should I know?! Anyway, we can leave thinking for later!"

Jet starts touching his desk to find the Arks of the Cosmos.

"For now, we need to collect these Arks of the... ...huh?"

He turns to his table and realizes that the Arks of the Comos are gone. The Babylon Rogues look around in shock when Wave and Storm notice the Egg Mobile pass by their window.

Jet turns slowly towards the window.

"Ah... uh... ah..."

"Ahh ha ha ha ha!" Eggman laughed.

"Why that dirty...! Sneak onto my ship, will he?! Full speed ahead! Follow him!" Jet ordered, looking outside the window angrily.

The Babylon Rouges' ship follows the Egg Mobile.

At Gigan Rocks, Sonic, Y/N, and their friends arrive in some ruins with an altar and stop.

"Was there an earthquake in here?" Sonic asked.

Knuckles runs to the chalice at the altar.

"It's gone!!"

"What's wrong, Knuckles?" Y/N asked.

"The legends say the star shard is supposed to be in this chalice... Did it roll off somewhere in the quake?"

Y/N rubs her chin, thinking.

"Can it be Jet and them that took it? I remember correctly that they are treasure hunter thieves..."

Tails is looking at the painting behind the altar. He comes closer.

"Hey, Tails, what's up with this painting?" Sonic asked.

"The divine wings..."

"Divine wings?"

Amy walks closer to Tails.
