Hello once again everybody this is my 3rd story but I have news, I require 3 reviews for 1 extra chapter. I will always have an extra chapter waiting, I'm always a man of my word but no troll/flame reviews. Here's the new story.

Chapter 1: The Accident

It's a sapphire blue sky with nothing in the world to do ever since Eggman has been imprisoned. Sonic is just taking a record speed of running around the world, Tails is working on new inventions, Knuckles is guarding the Master Emerald and so on. With old hobbies going in no one has time for each other with no adventure. Sonic overcame his fear of water by running over it so he's always in some other country away from old friends. Let's get right to Tails, he always worked on new inventions for both society and defenses in case a new threat emerges.

Working on making a new battery similar to a Chaos Emerald Tails tried to make a fake Master Emerald, more powerful than 3 Chaos Emeralds, to power the entire city of Mobotropolis. With constant failures Tails was always near to giving up until he had finally gotten an idea "Hmmm if artificial electricity and energy won't work maybe actual Chaos Emeralds will power it." Tails hoped it would work as he went to his plane and removed 2 Chaos Emeralds and went into his backyard to dig up another Chaos Emerald, hidden in case a new threat were to hunt for them.

Returning to his workshop Tails placed each of the Chaos Emeralds in separate see-through boxes while having the fake emerald in a huge see-through crate. Getting behind the control panels he activated the first emerald, showing no effect. "C'mon man work." Tails said activating the second emerald showing promising effect. "There we go, now let's go for one more." Finally activating the third emerald he saw that it made the entire city glow with electricity. "Success!" Tails yelled feeling successful after so many failed attempts.

Knuckles on Angel Island though felt worried as the Master Emerald glow. He looked into the Master Emerald to see another emerald. Knuckles was confused "Why does the Master Emerald show itself inside it?" (Yes I know that's confusing but play Sonic Adventure Knuckles storyline, you'll know what I'm talking about.) "It can't be a piece of the Master Emerald otherwise I'd be in the water. Can't be a Chaos Emerald either, Sonic and Tails always have at least 4 and it never reacted this way. Maybe I should check on the others, see if they know anything." Knuckles said gliding away from Angel Island towards Mobotropolis.

Amy and Cream were walking out of the mall with many clothes in hand. "Hey Cream you noticed the mall looks a bit brighter than usual?" Amy said to Cream wondering how the lights became as bright as they were. "Who knows, maybe an extra generator or it just happened. You know random things happen around here." Cream said actually feeling worried about the truth of it being random, dangerous even. "Probably, hey it's Knuckles." Amy said as Knuckles descended to the ground. "Hey girls, did you notice anything out of the ordinary today?" Knuckles asked hoping he was just paranoid instead of being right. "If you mean lights being brighter than normal then yes." Cream answered meaning if Knuckles was worried then something was wrong.

"That's not good; do you know where I can find Sonic or Tails?" Knuckles asked finally figuring out what's wrong. "Sonic's running around the world and Tails is usually in his workshop. Why? What's wrong?" Amy asked now worried. "If live Chaos energy is placed in an inanimate object then it will cause the Chaos Emeralds to detonate." Knuckles said. "How? Tails' plane was able to hold Chaos energy when we were fighting Eggman." Cream asked thinking about nothing but safety for everyone. "Yeah but the Chaos energy was in the Emeralds keeping them stable. This Chaos energy was pulled out by force and put into something that can't control it." Knuckles explained finally realizing who had the Chaos Emeralds nearby.

"I have to get to Tails' workshop fast." Knuckles said running off towards the Mystic Ruins. Back a Tails' workshop Tails started to feel concerned himself, and the electricity the emeralds were giving didn't help. "What's wrong now?!" Tails typed on the controls frantically trying to figure out what the malfunction was. Rouge was flying nearby hunting for the Chaos Emeralds herself. "Well there's some fireworks, probably cause by those jewels. Maybe Tails would be happy that I relief them from him." As Rouge flew to the roof she looked inside through a window seeing electricity fly from the emeralds. "Look at that beautiful gem! How'd he get that emerald from red anyway?"

Suddenly the workshop exploded sending Rouge flying into a tree with a broken arm. Tails was both lucky and unfortunate as he remained alive but he was blasted through several trees breaking almost every bone except his arm and leg. The entire city blacked out as well and Knuckles noticed that as well as seeing smoke from the direction he was headed. "I'm too late!" Knuckles yelled arriving at his destination. He looked around the smoldering ruins only to find shards of the emeralds. Rouge saw Knuckles looking around and approached him holding her right arm saying "I think he's still alive." Knuckles saw Rouge and asked calmly "What happened?" Rouge answered looking at the shards "It looks like the Master Emerald exploded, sorry Knuckles. Tails flew in that direction." Rouge looked in the direction of the broken trees lifting her head up. Knuckles looked at the direction and asked "That wasn't the Master Emerald; it must've been a fake. Are you ok though?" Rouge nodded and they both walked towards Tails direction.

Tails who was barely conscious was limping towards his remaining workshop. "I've got to finish my work, I've got to." Tails said coughing up blood before collapsing with his vision blurry he saw a red and white figure walking towards him before he passed out. "We've got to get him to a hospital Rouge." Knuckles said lifting up Tails. "Yeah me too for my broken arm, but I can still fly there myself." Rouge said feeling pain surge through her arm. Knuckles ran towards the hospital carrying Tails while Rouge flew there reaching it within 5 minutes trying desperately to save one of their closest friends.

1 day later

Everybody was there to see if Tails will live, even Sonic. A deer nurse came out of Tails' room showing worry in her face. Everyone knew that the news would be bad by the expression that was shown. Amy asked with tears "Will he be ok?" The nurse sighed and said "I'm afraid there's bad news."
