Sparx was sitting at her kitchen table eating chili dogs with Ava. Ava was feeling lonely due to the fact that Knuckles had not yet returned from his duties."Geez, I never thought that I would be so lonely without him guarding the Island." said Ava, "Wait a minute, Sparx, you look a little tired.""I am Ava, from my recent, and unexpected trip to 'Earth', and Snowy's arrival, I'm pooped." replied the tired Echidna. Ava grabbed Sparx's wrist, and brought her outside. "What you need is a day away from it all! Come with me, and I'll give you the time of your life!!!" Sparx nodded, and they took off into the Mushroom Hill Zone. All the troubles of the past day melted away like ice under the Mobian Sun. Once through the giant mushroom forest, they decided to jump off the edge of the Floating Island, and into the warm waters below. Once they were in though, things started to go awry. A huge whirlpool envelopped our heroines. "What the?!?!" yelled Sparx. "Aaaargh!!!" screamed Ava. They went further down into the ocean, then, all of a sudden, the edges of the whirlpool collapsed in. Then, from a view of the Floating Island, Archimedes, Knuckles's mentor, looked at the calm and serene ocean below.

Meanwhile, in an underground lab, a panel in the ceiling opened ejecting Ava, Sparx, and a whole lotta water. In mere seconds, the water drained out. Sparx shook herself, and looked around the room. At one end, stood water proof computer terminals, and at the opposite end, forcefield cages containing furries were erected. Sparx and Ava rushed over to the cages, and inspected their contents. Inside the first was Cerebral the Fox, inside the second were Snowy and Roxy, and the last contained two unfamiliar hedgehogs. They appeared to be drugged. Sparx reached for the Chaos Emerald that Cerebral had given her. She tried to open the cages, but couldn't. "We have to shut them down manually." Ava commented. All of a sudden, the doorway to the lab opened, and revealed their captor...

An elegant yet evil looking cat stepped into the lab, an evil smirk on her face. Ava managed to ask a question even though she had many to ask, "Who are you?". "I am K'Yan weh, and soon, all of Mobius will be moot!" A look of discust came across Sparx's face, as she looked at the psychopath,"Why?". "So I can rebuild my race on the planet that is rightfully ours! And I will be it's queen!" Sparx suddenly wished that she had her sword with her. Behind K'Yan weh, the door to the lab remained open...and Sparx realized that the forcefields containing her friends were held together by the psycho's magic. K'Yan weh was truly insane. Simultaneously, Ava and Sparx lunged at her, but K'Yan weh was quick. Raising her staff, she managed to stab Sparx in the midsection, just missing the vital organs. The blow sent Sparx flying across the room, smashing into the forcefields. Fight against the urge to go unconscious, Sparx managed to get up. Ava had managed to strike K'Yan weh. Sparx gripped her chaos emerald tightly, and launched the worst attack that she had ever done. Ignoring the searing pain in her side, she fought against K'Yan weh. Ava joined in, and soon, they brought the psycho to her knees. "Yow may have won this battle, but I will win the war!!" cackled K'Yan weh. She dissappeared in a flash of lightning.##RUMBLE## All of a sudden, they felt the ground beneath them start to rumble, as the forcefields dissappated! The other furries started to wake up. All of a sudden Ava yelled, "It's falling down on us!"...

Fully awake, Roxy asked, "Where are we?". "No time for explanations, Rox, but all that you need to know is that we have to get out of here now!!!" A hole in the ceiling erupted, spilling water on them! A still groggy Cerebral managed to use his telekinetic powers to create a bubble around the furries, as they escaped. They soon made it to the surface. Roxy pulled Sparx out of the water so she could glide. Sparx picked up Ava. Roxy picked up Cerebral (much to his delight!), and Snowy picked up the Hedgehogs. Once on the Floating Island, the introductions were made by the hedgehogs. The purple one said "My name is Jackie!", and the green one said "I am Michael, and we are severley in your debt!" before they mysteriously dissappeared. Ava, Sparx, Cerebral, Roxy, and Snowy went to Sparx's hut to have a celebration party. In the air, Sparx said to Ava, "She's still out there..". "I know, but this time, we'll be ready for her!" said Ava with a devilish grin.
