PROLOUGE
THE EMERALDS SCATTER
Above the ocean hovered a large mass. As one gets closer, they noticed it was an island. There were seven mountain peaks and two waterfalls. Lush green grass and trees covered the rest of the island. Nestled next to the mountains was a temple, where the Master and Chaos Emeralds are held.
A loud crashing sound broke the silence of the forest, causing a large cloud of dust. It clears to reveal a red echidna panting, looking at the fallen tree. He sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Suddenly, he heard a voice above him, "Hey Knuckles, what are you doing?" Knuckles looked up to an orange-and-white three-tailed fox hovering.
"Hi Tails." He replied, adding "What does it look like I'm doing?" Before Tails could respond, another loud explosion was heard and this time, the ground shook. Knuckles and Tails looked up to see several streaks of light flying over them, each one a different color. Knuckles' eyes grew wide and he ran towards the temple, Tails flying closely behind him.
They reached the temple and ran into the room where the emeralds were kept and Knuckles stopped in his tracks, eyes widening even more. Tails flew in and bumped into him, falling on the ground. He stood up and noticed the look on his friend's face. "Knuckles, what is it?" he asked. Knuckles pointed and Tails followed his gaze and what he saw made him gasp.
"The Emeralds are gone…." Kuckles said, clenching his fist.
