Mean while, that night...
Lava is sleeping but he's interrupted by something falling off from the Volcano. He goes to check what's going on outside and he found half of a mysterious mask.
"W-what's this?"
As Lava checks the Mask, Dr. Eggman sees him grabbing the mask. Dr. Eggman finally have a new plan to defeat Rocket and his friends but he's going to need a little help from someone really strong.
"Just wait and see, Rocker. Your happy moments will come to an end as I bring this Mask to the belonging owner, Blood."
Sonic Rockets // Episode 10
Mask of the Blood part 1
Lava has been examining the Mask all night and yet he haven't slept during that time. He knew this Mask is going to lead in something very dangerous so he tried to destroy it.
"Alright, I'm going to destroy this Mask with an ordinary hammer. I'm sure it's going to work!"
Lava swings the hammer to the mask but it doesn't broke into pieces. He tries it again and still it's not effective.
"I finally know what this is now. The gem in this mask is the Blood Gem, that means this belongs to Blood!"
Lava then has no other choice to try and find the mask or Blood will get it and use it to destroy the world.
Mean while...
Eggman is flying on a floating island since he detects that the floating island was the last place where Blood was last seen. He tries to find him but he spotted nobody. Blood then calls Dr. Eggman and he sees Blood floating in the sky.
"Blood, I would like to make an offer with you."
"An offer? I don't really know who you are but I'm not interested."
"Listen, I believe you know this one mask called Mask of the Blood?"
"The mask of the Blood?! I've been trying to find it for years. Hmm. I guess I have no other choice to hear your offer."
"Alright, I've seen the Mask in the hands of someone named Lava. We can try to defeat them together and you'll have the Mask of the Blood."
"I don't really understand. Why are you trying to help me finding the Mask of the Blood? Is there like a reward for you?"
"No need for a reward. The only thing I want to see is Rocket and Sonic being crushed and will never stand in my way ever again!!"
"I see, so you've mentioned this Rocket guy. Alright, I'll help you fight this Rocket and Sonic guy. We better think of a plan first."
Back in Green Hills Island...
Lava then runs to Rocket's house because he needs Rocket to help him. Lava crashes on to someone and that someone is Ash.
"Hey, dude, watch it! You don't need to focus on your destination when there's a person trying to walk in front of you."
"I'm sorry, Ash. But this is important right now. I gotta find Rocket now!"
"Well, Rocket just left hanging out with Glitch and May. I don't really know if they're going on a date so..."
"Ugh! Are you kidding me?! Let's try to find him before he comes." Lava as he runs to the place where Rocket have been to
"Who is this he?" Ash as he follows Lava
"No time to explain! We'll talk when we get to Rocket's place."
Meanwhile....
Rocket is hanging out with Ash sitting in a palm tree eating ice cream. They've been talking for ten minutes and they don't realize that they've been talking that long. Lava finds Rocket and he runs towards him.
"Rocket, there you are! List-"
Lava sees someone floating above him. It was Blood the Hedgehog, the one person that once fought Rocket.
"Well, long time no see, Rocket. I've been training for days now and I feel stronger than ever."
"You! I remember you! Lava, is this your problem?"
"Yes. He's here for one thing."
"Now listen, I don't mean harm now. I just want half of the Mask of the Blood. After that, I will go away and never come back here."
"You liar. You will use it for ultimate World destruction. I wouldn't expect you to leave after having this Mask."
"To be honest, I already have the other half of the mask. If I get that one, I will have the ultimate power."
Dr. Eggman then comes to the scene...
"Ohoho! I have the feeling that this will end in an epic battle scene! I can't wait to see Rocket getting crushed by Blood. I know, I can record this scene using my camera."
Rocket sees Eggman...
"Dr. Eggman? So, you were working with him too?!"
"Oh, you can say that. But we have one different goal, he is here to kick your butts! I am here to watch you getting kicked!"
Rocket tries to approach Dr. Eggman but he then gets kicked by Blood.
"That speed. He's faster than me even though he's using one percent of its power."
"I shall now defeat you, Rocket. Too bad this is the last time we're going to see each other. But that's what I expected! Blood Fever!!!"
Blood teleports behind Rocket and he prepares to attack Rocket behind him....
"ROCKET!!!!!"
