As the Master Emerald pulsates with energy, a letter can be seen on Chris' desk.]
Chris: Dear Mom and Dad and everybody... I'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye. I knew if I said anything, you'd try and stop me from traveling to Sonic's world.[Chris is standing in front of his powered-up portal.]
Chris: It's very important to me, so I hope you'll understand. Don't worry. I'll be fine. And... I'll be back. I'll miss you all. Mom, and Dad, Grandpa, Danny, Frances, and Helen. I love you. --Chris P.S.: I'll tell Sonic and the others you said hello.[The portal consumes Chris, then vanishes. Everyone gathered around the Master Emerald watch as a figure appears within the Emerald.]
Knuckles and Sonic: Hey, that's Chris!Chris: [To himself] It... worked! I... did it! I actually did it![He sees Sonic]
Chris: Sonic![Suddenly Chris falls to the ground. He catches himself, but sees in horror that his lab coat is now too big for him. To his horror, he realizes he is now back in his twelve-year-old body.
Angel Island
Chris: What's going on? What's with my clothes? Did I shrink or something?[As the Master Emerald's glow dies down, Chris looks over the sleeves of his lab coat, which is now too big for him.]
Tails: Great to see ya, Chris!Chris: [Stands up] Tails, it's you![Cream and Amy also approach.]
Cream: We really missed you!
Amy: It's about time you showed up![She playfully nudges Chris.]
Chris: Hey, Amy!
Knuckles: It's good to see ya![Everyone except Sonic and Cosmo are excitedly surrounding Chris and all talking at once.]
Chris: Hey, one at a time.
Cosmo: [To Sonic] Sonic, who is that boy?
Sonic: He's my friend.[Chris overhears, and is overwhelmed in gratitude that Sonic still remembers him.]
Chris: Hi, Sonic.
Sonic: How ya doin', pal?[Chris carefully approaches Sonic, trying not to trip on his giant clothes.]
Chris: Sonic, I can't believe I'm really here. It's been a long time coming.
Sonic: I knew you'd get here sooner or later, buddy.
Chris: You haven't changed a bit. Come to think of it...[Chris looks over at Sonic's friends.]
Chris: ...none of you have.
Sonic: Doesn't look like you changed much, either, 'cept for the baggy clothes. Is that some new style or somethin'?[Chris holds up his oversized sleeves.]
Chris: No! I-I don't know what's going on![Sonic collapses.]
Chris: Sonic![Chris bends down over Sonic as the others gather round them.]
Amy: Sonic, what's wrong?[Cosmo covers her mouth in shock.]
Cream: What happened?
Knuckles: Say something!
Amy: Why isn't he waking up?[Tails feels Sonic's forehead.]
Tails: He's okay. I think he's just exhausted.
Knuckles: Yeah, I guess he still has to recover from that battle.
