Chapter 1:It emerges
Sonic the hedgehog,hero to all,was lying under the pleasent shade of a
tree. He was falling in an out of sub-counciousness,and couldn't seem
to stay asleep or awake. He was in a perky dream about Eggman deep fat
frying Amy when Tails soared on top of him and started
screaming maniaclly."Come on Sonic,"His friend was as hyper as ever,"
something's happening over at the floating island!."
"Aww come on,"Sonic barked,"dosn't anyone have anything better to do
then screw up the master emerald?"
Sonic made a dash for the large hole in the cave wall,the nearest
entrance to the floating island,Tails following meaningfully behind.
"So what's happening at Angel Island that no one can wait about?" Sonic
asked harsly.
"Knuckles' recons somebodies trying to steal it!" Tails said.
They emerged from the hole and made their way to the bridge that held
up the floating island.Knuckles was,as usual, up tight about the whole
situation.
"What's up Knuckles?"Sonic asked.
"Some one's trying to steal the master emerald again,"Knuckles said
sternly,"They've been trying all morning,but they don't seem to wanna
make they're move."
There was a rushing sound behind them that made Tails jump. Sonic stood
there,waiting to beat the crap out of the person who interrupted his
sleep.His eyes soared all around the alter,their were many broken
pieces of pillar lying around.Sonic supposed he/she could be hiding in
any one of them. Knuckles fell silent,though he wasn't talking to
begien with you could always tell when he had a plan,it was some kind
of stange aura that he gave off. He flung around and punched in mid
air,or atleast that's what Sonic and Tails saw. They heared a loud
smash and the "OW!" of a female. Rouge the Bat flew backwards and hit
the grassy bottom.She was rubbing her nose tenderly to see if it was
it's perfect self. Sonic sighed, Tails giggled,and Knuckles scowled.
"Funny, for a momment I misunderstood you for an actual threat." he
barked.
"Ohh,when are you going to give up that stupid jewel anyway and just
settle down?" Rouge snapped.
"Settle down? With you? That's the last thing on my mind!" Knuckles
replied.
"Yeah like I'd go anywhere near you."Rouge yelled.
The conversation seemed to go on for a while.Sonic watched it with
great interest but Tails was focused on the sky,something was forming
there. There was a loud "BANG!" and a shaft of darkness shot down upon
the master emerald. Tails soon saw that a large storm cloud was
edmitting the shaft. Knuckles was the second to take notice,then Rouge,
then Sonic.A strange figure was floating down from the shaft, it was
an echinda,or atleast something in the disguise of an echinda. It
had green fur, large black wings,and eyes with no pupils,they were
just pure black. He was covered in armor neck down. He landed on the
master emerald,not moving. For a minute there was absolute silence,
then Knuckles got the courage to speak up.
"Who are you,"Knuckles demanded," What do you want with the master
emerald?"
"I am the bitter darkness,"the echinda said,without looking at
Knuckles,"I want the master emerald for my own reasons."
The echinda's voice seemed to echo,Sonic noted he definatly had the
voice of some one who wallowed in darkness.
"You can't have it,"Knuckles spoke up" It is mine to protect! It
nueatrulizes the chaos emeralds,that makes it very..."
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!"The demon's voice erupted.
Sonic covered Tails' ears as the last word flew out,in all of his years
of fighting no one seemed to have swore.
"If you want the master emerald you'll have to get through me!"Knuckles
snapped.
The demon set his eyes upon Knuckles. He smiled,a twisted dark smile,
and there was a sudden flash in his eye. Knuckle screamed in pain,for
an unknown reason.Something invisible was destroying his bones,
shattering them to tiny pieces,breaking them with some kind of
supernatural energy irradicating his body.
"COOL,"Tails shouted out,"This is just like Star wars! Are you a Jedi?"
The demon's smile fadded.
"I hate that movie."
He extended his arm out and another shot of psionic force jetted out
from his arm,pushing Tails off the island.Sonic shot at the demon,his
arm extended.But the demon was just as fast as Sonic,he punched him
in the face,which sent him flying off the island with his buddy.
Rouge made a sudden attempt to fly away,but the demon shot a net like
substance at her,and she fell utop of a stone pilliar,unable to move.
"I got plans for you,batgirl,"The demon said calmly,"And as for you
annoying echinda,I'm going to have to get rid of you!"
He picked the limp body of Knuckles up and tossed it off the island.
And so,the doomed journey had begun!
