Everyone had calmed down. The world was saved; Sonic, Rouge, Knuckles, Amy,
Eggman, and Tails where all on their way back to earth. The world was
getting back into the regular swing of things, also. The threat of world
annihilation was over. Sonic and Tails retired to Mobius, Amy tagged along
too. "Poor guy," Sonic said. He was sitting on a lawn chair.
"Say what, Sonic?" Tails asked.
"I was just thinking about Shadow. I don't think he should have died that way," Sonic explained.
"Me neither," Amy added.
Sonic looked at his bounce bracelet, and his two fire rings. "Well, at least he died for the right cause," Sonic said.
Sonic's bounce bracelet beeped. Sonic had Tails install an intercom. "Hello?" he asked.
"Sonic! Something's wrong with Angel Island!"
"Knuckles?" Sonic asked. "What's wrong?"
"Angel Island is falling! All the emeralds are gone!" Knuckles yelled. His voice broke up and gave way to static.
Sonic got to his feet. "Knuckles! Knuckles!" Sonic heard nothing but static. Amy and Tails where on their feet also. Sonic took off towards Angel Island in a blue blur. A few hours later he was standing on the cliff that over looked the spot of ocean where Angel Island would fall. He looked up and sure enough he could see Angel island breaking up and falling from the sky. Sonic jumped and bounced off the ground. He bounced two more times and when he got to the peak of his bounce he flew up. This was his homing attack. He chose a vine that was hanging a few hundred yards up. He grabbed it and swung around. Once on the Island he could tell everything was in turmoil. He ran towards the crumbling shrine of the emeralds. There he saw Knuckles.
"Sonic, some one stole the emeralds!" Knuckles yelled.
"Rouge?" Sonic asked.
Rouge came flying from the sky. She landed next to Knuckles and kissed him. "No, Sonic, it wasn't Rouge," Knuckles said plainly.
Sonic was dumbfounded. "Then who?" he asked.
Just then in a brilliant flash of green lightening Shadow appeared over the shrine. In orbit around his where the seven Chaos Emeralds, and above his head floated the master emerald. Shadow smirked and disappeared in the same flash of lightening.
"Shadow!?" everyone gasped.
Sonic didn't know what to think. Shadow hadn't died out there. He was very much alive, and as of right now, he had all the emeralds. Even the Master Emerald.
Knuckles pulled on his hammer gloves and shovel claws.
"Knuckles, no," Sonic said flatly.
Angel Island rumbled and bucked.
"He's got the master emerald. This is my fight now," Knuckles said back.
"He also has the chaos emeralds. You'd never stand a chance against him," Sonic pleaded.
Knuckles pushed past him and ran for the edge of the island. He jumped and dove off, taking flight.
Sonic gave an exasperated growl and ran after him. "Shadow is alive. And what's worse is, I was wrong about him. He only helped me save the world for his own personal gain." Sonic thought to himself.
"Say what, Sonic?" Tails asked.
"I was just thinking about Shadow. I don't think he should have died that way," Sonic explained.
"Me neither," Amy added.
