It was a bright, beautiful day outside, perfect for taking a run. Yeah, a nice run, that'll get my mind off that weird call earlier… I didn't understand what was going on when I got the call… It was 7:48am and I was still sleeping, when the phone rang. I heard frantic breathing and rustling, and as I was about to ask who it was someone from the other side spoke,

"Sonic, it's Sally, meet me at the castle at 12:00 we have something to speak about, it's a pressing matter, it's the only time I can get in between my queen duties." she said, out of breath.

"Uh, sure Sal, do you mind telling me wha-"

"No, no time right now, I have a meeting, I already called Tails and Knuckles, they'll be there as well. I have to go, bye Sonic." before I could answer she hung up.

So now its 11 and I got an hour, might as well burn some energy on my way to the castle. I grabbed my iPod and slipped it in my jeans pocket, while putting in my headphones, it was already tuned to "Fight Fire with Fire" By Metallica.

"Fuck yeah, some good tunes to run to" I said out loud. I then opened the door and walked outside, closing the door behind me.

"Here we…" I started, getting prepped, "GO!" and I took off, leaving burn marks where I stood before.

The trees were blurs around me as I blasted through the forest, not looking I ran into someone with a thud.

"Shiiiiit!" I yelled as I toppled onto this person

"Ahh! Sonic!" I looked down at her; it was Amy Rose, the loveable pink hedgehog who, in the beginning annoyed the shit out of me, has grown on me. I jumped up with her in my arms, she giggled in the process, boy, did I love her laugh.

"Sorry, Ames. I wasn't paying attention."

"It's okay Sonic, although you should be more careful, you could get hurt one of these days."

"Psh, as if!" I was being cocky as usual, trying to get a response from her, and as I expected, she gave one. She hugged me tightly and giggled.

"Well hello there!" I exclaimed

"You silly hedgehog! Don't come crying to me when you do get hurt!"

"Okay Ames, I won't" She looked up at me with her beautiful green eyes. She has grown up over the years. She has turned into a fine young woman. She started wearing a pink camouflage tank top and skin tight black jeans, mmmm.

"Watchu thinkin' bout Sonic?"

"Huh? Oh, you. I mean! Uh…I should be getting to the castle!" She looked confused by my outburst, but still content; she kissed me on the cheek and said,

"I wanna go, if it's another mission I want to see you off." I blushed brightly when she kissed me, but I did as I was asked, and picked her up bridal style, and we were off.

We arrived shortly, and went inside to find the main ball room filled. Only they weren't people, they were robots.

"Eggman!" Amy and I exclaimed in unison. The robots were all facing us, but they didn't seem to want to attack us. A strange predicament at best. As we were getting ready to strike I heard a familiar voice yell,

"Sonic stop!" I looked over to find Eggman and Tails standing side by side.

"What's going on here?" Amy asked worriedly.

"It's simple pink one; we have a common goal currently. And we must side if we want to survive."

"What?" I replied. Tails then spoke,

"The Super Emeralds, Sonic," He said calmly, "Metal Sonic went berserk, and left the fucking dimension with them"

"The Super Emeralds? No, that can't be, I hid them a long time ago!" I said calmly, still keeping a smirk

"That's just it Sonic…you hid them, therefore, Metal having your personality and all your thoughts, found them." Eggman replied. Amy stared at me and I could tell she was scared and confused, scared because she knew deep down, I was too, and confused probably because we had encountered the fabled emeralds before we met her. She gripped my hand in terror as she saw my expression change from my usual smirk to a disturbed frown.

"Sonic? What's wrong? What's going on? I'm so confused..." Amy said in a horrified voice that almost sounded like a little girl. Tails looked at her, back at me for my word, and I nodded approval. He opened his mouth and started telling the tale,

"It all started when we first met Knuckles…"

My brain went into a flashback immediately…

The vivid colors of the island glowed as we flew towards it on The Tornado. I had the Chaos Emeralds in my back pack, I had gotten the hang of using my super form a few months ago and we figured we'd need them on this new island. The strange part was that this island fell from the sky. I heard Tails speak up from behind me,

"So what do you think this place is, Sonic?"

"Not sure, lil' man. I'm thinking I should go scout it out before we land the Tornado."

"You're just using that as an excuse to use the emeralds!"

"And?" We chuckled together, then I jumped off the plane let it fly ahead past me. I channeled my energy to the emeralds, they flew out of my back pack quickly and circled around me and I felt the power fill my body as my fur became gold and my quills started to stand on their own.

"Here we go!" I exclaimed as the transformation completed and I took off, the tips of my feet skidding across the water, I blasted past the Tornado as Tails smiled and yelled "Go Sonic!" The island grew in size as I got closer and blasted onto the beach, I started to slowly see trees and jungle when suddenly something pops out of the ground and hits me in the jaw, I was so startled that I accidently let go of control of the emeralds, they reappeared and hit the ground as I did, the thud against my back knocked the wind out of me, keeping me from getting up and figure out what just hit me. Suddenly, a red figure stood over me, he stared down out me and spoke.

"You'll pay for taking the Master Emerald you spiny blue bastard." He walked to the emeralds and picked them up one by one and walked off. I could only watch as I felt blood trickle from the back of my head, and I blacked out.

Next thing I know Tails shaking me

"Sonic! Sonic wake up!" He exclaimed.

"I'm up, I'm up!" I sat up, my head was fuzzy but I still remember what happened, so I jumped up grabbing Tails and making him hang onto my back

"Sonic, you shouldn't be moving yet! You're hurt!"

"Shut up, Tails, he took the emeralds and accused me of taking something from him, I have a feeling that Robotnik is behind this!" I took off as fast as I could.

For six days I encountered Badniks all over the place, I was right, Robotnik is behind this. I ran from place to place, collecting the Chaos Emeralds all over again. Finally I had all seven again and I wasn't gonna let them go anytime soon. Just as I thought I was close to figure out what Robotnik was up to, the red guy came back. The first thing he did was try to hit me, but I was too fast, as was this fight. He threw punches left and right, and I dodged them all, and as he tried to catch his breath I hit him with a spindash, cutting his stomach, he flew back against the wall, and I walked up and stood over him.

"All I want is the Master Emerald back, please give it back." That's all he said, and I held out my hand for him, he took it, confused but grateful.

"Look, I didn't take it. I'm sorry but, I know who did, but I'm afraid I may not be able to defeat him this time." I replied, he looked at me then to the wall behind us, it was a scripture. There were seven different colored rocks, I assumed the Chaos Emeralds, seven larger looking colored rocks, and a huge green one in the middle. My new red friend spoke,

"This is the ancient tablet of Chaos and Power. The middle few I'm sure you already know, The Chaos Emeralds, the middle one, The Master Emerald, and last, the outside circle, The Super Emeralds. The ultimate powers are held in them, The Master Emerald keeps the balance between the Chaos and Super Emeralds." he looked at me again, "When we met the first time, you looked different, and when I hit you, you became blue again and the Chaos Emeralds appeared again. Can you actually control their power?"

"Yeah, I can control them easily now." I replied, taking in this huge chunk of information.

"Legend tells that a being, the one chosen from birth, can control this infinite power. There will be others, who were advanced to do the same, but only one who can control the true power. The one who was born to protect this world, the one who can take the choice to save this world, or destroy it." He took a deep breath and continued, "I believe you are that one, I believe you are the one to control them." I was shocked by this information, I looked at him, taken aback.

"Well, then, if these 'Super' Emeralds are all that you say they are, then they may be the push I need to be able to defeat Robotnik." And so with that, three days went by and we had all the Chaos Emeralds and all the Super Emeralds, and just by holding them I could feel the energy radiating off of them, the Chaos Emeralds and the Super Emeralds reacted with an over whelming amount of power, I couldn't believe it. Finally I was ready, so we went to take on Robotnik, where I encountered an early version of Metal Sonic, called Hyper Mecha Sonic, I beat it pretty well but, didn't have time to finish it off, so I took off to the Death Egg and Knuckles stayed behind to dispose of Hyper Mecha Sonic by himself. I found Robotnik in his new version of the Giant Egg Robo, which I easily beat, or at least I thought, it suddenly transformed into a ship as the Death Egg started collapsing and flew off into space. I ran after it as fast as I could, I then jumped and went super, flying after it. It shot powerful rockets at me and I dodged them and used them against him, the ship eventually started to go down. The Master Emerald was just left floating there and I went to grab it when I was hit by the another version of the Egg Robo, it grabbed the Emerald and started to take off, in the process of grabbing the Emerald it powered up, becoming a lot more powerful for my Super form to even come close to defeating, I decided that it was time to use the Super Emeralds, and I did. I easily took out Robotnik and returned the Master Emerald to Knuckles. For months afterwards I tried to control the power of the Super Emeralds, but their power was overwhelming, I trained for months on end but got no where. So if I couldn't control them, then no one could, so I hid them and forgot about them.

But now with this new threat… I am concerned what could happen if the emeralds fell in the wrong hands. I have to find them, no matter the cost. I must not allow the emeralds to be used in the wrong way.
