Prologue

Tails was working on a new invention. It was supposed to make a Chaos Emerald work like the Master Emerald and call the others. He had all the Chaos Emeralds though. That was the kink in the system. You need all the Chaos Emeralds to have enough power. He was trying to fix that now. He hadn't told anyone about this yet. He was worried what would happen when Knuckles found out. Knuckles would probably give him a lecture about playing with nature, and then he would murder him. Actually, more like first Knuckles would murder him, and then he would get a lecture about playing with nature. Tails was going to take the risk though.

I wonder if I could call the Master Emerald. Thought Tails. He put all the Chaos Emeralds in their slots, and turned it on. Knuckles will probably kill me. He thought. The machine started to spark. Tails frowned. He didn't like it when his machines sparked. He opened the main control panel to see what was wrong. Blue smoke came pouring out. Tails jumped back. When the blue smoke came in contact with the machine, it literally blew up. Sparks were everywhere. Tails ran behind the inner wall. He knew something like this would happen sometime. He could hear the machine crackling. Suddenly everything was quiet.

He could see a greenish glow coming from the machine. I think I did it. Thought Tails. When he turned around, He saw something that looked like the Master Emerald. But it was smaller, only a little bigger than a normal Chaos Emerald. And it was blue, just tinted with green. This is sooo not the Master Emerald. Thought Tails. Suddenly a shot of light sparked out of the gem. It twirled in an oval pattern, making a thick outline.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, a rush of teal flew into the middle from the outline filling it in, like paint falling down a canvas. The sparks of blue light twirled around, in and out of each other. You could tell there was a pattern, even if you couldn't figure out what it was. Tails took a few steps forward, until he was only a foot away from the glistening oval, mesmerized. He took a half step, he was only five or six inches away from it now. Suddenly, ropes of the teal light shot out of the center of the oval. They seemed to wrap themselves around Tails, but he didn't feel anything. But suddenly he was falling forward, down, down, towards the oval. There was a bright flash of light, and then, The chapter ended.
