Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic, Shadow or the Master Emerald… I wouldn't want to; I have no attraction to giant evil green lumps of rock!
I had some major continuity issues with this, that's the problem when you don't write in a logical order, if anyone spots anything blatantly obvious I'd be glad if you'd let me know!
The Thousand: Chaos Controlled
High above Earth, among the stars, where the Ancients placed their Heaven, there dwells a Space Colony. It is called ARK. It is heresy to name it such, a human proclamation of its own self-righteousness and arrogance. Stating a foolish belief in a right to challenge God, and toy with things better left untouched. Humanity is about to create a monster and will again unleash the firestorm upon itself.
Below, on Earth, a generation later, Angel Island hangs as a mountain hidden in a storm. Here, a child, unwanted and un-craved has been born into the world. Now it is his fate to be placed into the open hands of an ancient race. The Guardians… His name is Knuckles.
The clock to Chaos is always ticking, but now it reads five minutes to midnight. It is destiny to for the monster to Fall, the only question is, who will he take with him?
