In Eggman's lan Eggman himself was holding Sonic captive (Sheesh! It's about time!) "ha ha ha! Finally, I am going to have the chance to destroy you! And then I'll collect all the emeralds to take over the world!" Sonic squirmed in in the rope that was tying him together. "No! Let me go you egg head!"
Just then a window in Eggman's lab broke and someone came through it on a hover board. The unknown stranger was wearing a mask over his face. He stopped in front of Eggman and Sonic. "Hey!" Eggman shouted. "Get out of here!" He pointed a plasma gun at the masked hover boarder. The stranger snatched it away and shot Sonic's ropes off. "Come on! Jump on!" Sonic jumped on the hover board and they flew out the window.
Sonic's House
when they arrived at Sonic's house the masked stranger hopped off the board as well as Sonic. Sonic reached for the mask. "Who are you?" Before he could grab it the other person pulled away. (animal) He pulled off the mask himself. The face of a green-feathered hawk came from behind the mask. "My name is Jet. nice to meet you."
"You to. I'm Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog!"
"Uh... I'm Jet. Jet the hawk..."
Sonic laughed. "Anyway, thanks for getting me out of there. That was the stickiest situation I've ever been in"
Jet rubbed his neck. "It was nothing. But there was a reason I saved you. I'm uh... a thief."
Sonic looked surprised. "A thief? what kind of thief?"
"Well, me and my posse don't really have a home. So... technically we don't steal. It's just for our own benefits." "So"
said Sonic. "You're posse...?"
Jet looked at his wristwatch and whispered something into it. "Yeah, my pals Wave the swallow, and Storm the albatross. They should be here any minute."
Sonic looked down at the road and saw rocks flying behind two hover boards riding full speed towards him and Jet. "Yahoooooo!" A purple swallow was doing tricks on her board. "Be careful Wave!" A gray albatross trailed behind his friend. They both halted to a dusty stop in front of Jet.
"Alright!" Shouted Wave. "Did you see how fast I was going Jet? That must have been a new record!" The gray albatross stepped off his board. "So what'd you call us for Jet? I was busy."
Jet looked at Sonic. "I wanted you guys to meet Sonic the hedgehog. He's like a legend or something." Storm shook Sonic's hand and wave gave him a high five.
Jet looked at the ground and sighed. "Well, Sonic... I didn't want to have to do this... but..." "What?" asked Sonic. "I'm gonna have to take your chaos emerald." Sonic gasped. Jet punched Sonic in the face and he fell to the ground. His vision started to become blurry. He could see Jet's shoes in front of his eyes. Jet was holding Sonic's emerald. "Sorry dude. but we need this." Sonic closed his eyes and fainted.
The Rider's Hideout
"Good work everybody." Said Storm. "It's good to know you guys are good for something." Jet put the emerald away and grabbed a can of pop. "Shut up Storm. Put my board away for me."
"I don't know why you took Sonic's emerald." Said Wave. "You save him but then you steal from him"
Jet sipped his pop. "I had to. How else are we gonna survive in this dump called a house?" Besides, once we get the rest of the emeralds we'll be living the good life. All we need is our hover boards." Storm looked at his wristwatch, it had a radar on it. "Occording to my radar, the next emerald is currently in the forest. But it's moving, so someone's holding it."
Wave grabbed her board. "Well whoever it is is about to lose their emerald. Let's go." She flew out of the house. Jet grabbed his board and followed. "Wait!" Shouted Storm. "We just got here! Errr... fine. But this better be worth it. He also followed Wave and Jet, leaving dust in their tracks.
The Forest
"That was the best ride yet!" Shouted Wave. She gave Jet a high five. "Alright, alright, no playing around. Storm, where's the emerald?" Storm checked his watch. "It's moving at great speeds. It should be... straight ahead. About forty yards. Jet didn't bother to get on his board. He ran forward until he started to hear noises. A running sound.
"Do you hear that?" He asked. Jet stepped off her board. "Yeah... I think it was..."
"Right there!" Shouted Storm pointing in the distance. A black hedgehog that resmebled Sonic seemed to be searching for something throughout the forest. "He's ours!" Said Jet. The three hopped on their boards and sped up to the black hedgehog, surrounding him. "Hand over the chaos emerald stranger!" Jet ordered. "Or we'll take it by force."
The black hedgehog looked at all of them. "How ironic, I happen to be on a search for the chaos emeralds as well. I figure you would have a chaos emerald too." "Not with us." Said Wave. "Now give us yours or else." The black hedgehog laughed. "Please, do you know who I am? Shadow the hedgehog! I would be able to defeat every single one of you!"
"I've had enough of your insolence, Shadow!" Shouted Jet. "You leave me no choice!" Shadow had a smirk on his face. "Come on, then."
