6	In volume 1, [[BigBad Dr. Eggman]] has become desperate as he is running low on energy, not enough to build his SpaceStation, the Death Egg Mk III. When Orbot, one of his [[BumblingSidekick two right hands]], suggests to look for another viable energy source, their scanner quickly picks up the [[PowerSource energy]] emitting from planet Avalice; [[SwirlyEnergyThingy a source of energy]] stated to have nearly as much as the [[PowerCrystal Master Emerald]] itself. Unable to move the Death Egg in its current state, Eggman decides to take the planet Avalice out of its orbit and [[AnotherDimension warp it]] through the use of a [[OurWormholesAreDifferent dimensional hole]] to the vicinity of Mobius.

8	In the process, the [[RuleOfSeven seven]] [[MacGuffin Chaos Emeralds]] get shattered across the now neighboring planet. With the Emeralds [[CameFromTheSky falling from the sky]], it doesn't take too long for Lilac and her friends to notice their sudden appearance, which starts [[GottaCatchThemAll the search for them]] all over again.

15	----
16	!!This fanfic provides examples of the following tropes:
17	* AgeLift: All characters in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' universe, whose [[NotAllowedToGrowUp ages usually stay the same]], are stated to be a bit older than their canon counterpart. For example, Sonic, canonically aged 15, has turned 16.
18	* AlternateTimeline: In-universe, the events of ''Tides of Chaos'' take place two weeks after ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'' and roughly one year after ''Freedom Planet''. The story deviates from the respective canon timelines at that point. Although, its story arcs still feature villains and events seen in games that take place after.
19	* BathtubBonding: When Sonic and Lilac sit together in the [[HealingSpring healing spa]] in chapter [[spoiler:1]], she talks with him about what happened a year ago, [[PreviouslyOn recapping the events]] of ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet''. Lilac admits to be [[TraumaButton getting very emotional]] whenever the [[AlienInvasion invasion by Brevon]] is mentioned. Sonic [[HurtComfortFic assures her]], stating that she should always stay strong and that it's best to look forward. He also adds that life is no fun if the outlook on it is bad.
20	* BloodierAndGorier: Both source materials don't usually feature blood. This fan fiction describes the injuries inflicted towards characters and doesn't hide the fact that they bleed.
21	--> "...her appearance had her outfit torn in several places and a bit bloody from her damage she had been hit by from the robot, but she was still conscious, ..."
22	* CaptainObvious: ''Justified''. Orbot has to explain the obvious meaning behind Dr. Eggman's words, as Cubot is [[CaptainOblivious too oblivious]].
23	--> '''Eggman''': "Perfect! The planet extraction is a success! Soon I'll be eating that limitless energy out of the palm of my hand!"\
24	'''Cubot''': "Ehr, boss? I don' think ya c'n eat energy. Ya can use it ta fuel the worker bots though! That'll make it useful!"\
25	'''Orbot''': "Cubot, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. He was using an expression to demonstrate as to how easy it was to get the energy from the other planet by dragging it out of its planetary orbit and into our solar system."\
26	'''Eggman''': "Yes, thank you, Orbot."
27	* ContinuityNod: There is quite a lot of them.
28	** Mystic Ruins and Station Square were two prominent locations in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure''.
29	** Eggman states to have already used his planetary grappler in the past to get a grip of Little Planet and the "Wisp Worlds". This a nod to the events of both [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Sonic CD]] and [[VideoGame.SonicColors Sonic Colors]].
30	** The [[HeavilyArmoredMook Heavy Egg Hammer]], an enemy from [[VideoGame.SonicHeroes Sonic Heroes]] (in the story referred to as Mallet Titan), makes a return, and a big one at that. Lilac and Neera, two exceptionally skilled fighters who have dealt with robots before, weren't able to put a dent on it and were nearly beaten up as they weren't aware of [[AttackItsWeakPoint its weak spot]], [[spoiler:the area under its helmet]].
31	** In chapter [[spoiler:3]], Tails mentions the military task force G.U.N and the Space Colony Arc, which were featured prominently in VideoGame/SonicAdventure2.
32	* ConvenientlyClosePlanet: ''Justified'', as Eggman, by force, moved Avalice to the near vicinity of Mobius.
33	** Actually, to the point that, in chapter [[spoiler:3]], according to Tails, their [[ArtisticLicenseSpace atmospheres overlap]]. Carol even questions why they aren't affected by gravity, to which Tails responds by stating that the planets still stand far enough away from each other.
34	* ComicallySmallBribe: Carol offered a jewelry store owner a few crystals shards in exchange for a Chaos Emerald, and she actually succeeds.
35	* HarmlessFreezing: In chapter [[spoiler:1]], [[spoiler:Sonic]] was still perfectly fine after Neera-Li froze and, later on, freed him.
36	* NameAndName: Sonic ''and'' Sash.
37	* MomentKiller: Sonic and Sash were having a moment of silence, but were interrupted by Carol's emergency call.
38	* RacingTheTrain: [[TheClimax Near the end]] of the ChaseScene in [[spoiler:chapter 1]], Tails notices the oncoming train tracks and comes up with an idea. While he flies through the crossing gates with his plane, Carol uses the construction rumble [[{{Ramprovisation}} as a ramp]]. The two make it JustInTime, but the same can't be said for their pursuers, who collide with the train and [[StuffBlowingUp cause it to explode]]. To make this moment even more badass, Carol and Tails [[JustKeepDriving didn't even look back]] afterwards.
39	* SuggestiveCollision: In chapter [[spoiler:3]], Sash and Sonic have a race through GreenHillZone. Sonic accidentally trips over and crashes into her, ending up with the two in a (for them) embarrassing position.
