Chris explains about Area 99 hoses much of the military's weapons while Sonic notes the facility's similarities to that of a typical base of Eggman. In the facility, scientists were conducting research on the captured Cream and Cheese while Sonic tries to infiltrate the facility, narrowing dodging the security surveillance cameras inside the facility's corridors. Eventually he reaches the door which leads into the lab where the scientists were examining Cream and Cheese.

While the hedgehog is cautious to escape from the facility with Cream an Cheese, the power suddenly goes off, giving him the chance to commence his rescue. However, the power returns, leaving Sonic, Cream and Cheese's lives at stake as the security surveillance cameras revealed laser guns and began shooting at them but they made it through unharmed. The facility's security guards eventually activates their shutdown procedures in attempt to trap the heroes but they were too fast and this unitentionally shuts down the power of Area 99 once again. Although the laser cameras are now out of control at this point, Sonic, Cream and Cheese escaped from it in a safe-and-sound fashion.
