Mystic Ruins
1:15pm
Knuckles was banging on the door with his fist, waiting for it to open up. Folding his arms and tapping his shoe on the pavement.
"If there's one thing I know about Tails place…he take his sweet time"
The door suddenly opens and Shade was in the doorway looking at him.
"How did you get in there?"
She simply pointed to an open window and knuckles felt a little ashamed for not seeing it.
"I see"
"Uh-huh…I looked around his house and workshop; tried calling out his name and no one's here…plus, I found this" she held out a Chaos Emerald, which was yellow.
"Tails had a Chaos Emerald...well; at least we've got one now and that creature has the other"
"And the Master Emerald"
Knuckles gave nod "yeah, you're right" he looked a Shade who was now staring down at the Emerald.
"If the Emeralds are to be recovered, then we need to go find Sonic…and knowing him, he'll give you a hard time and get excited about what we tell him" she looked at him with determination her eyes "what do you say?"
The red echidna gave another nod "We'll need all the help we could get…but where is he" he asked her, maybe she had idea on where he went or could be at.
"Aqua City" she simply said "a city that…well, it's best too see for yourself"
"Why"
"You'll see, plus…Tails is there"
"How do you know that?"
"Because last week…Sonic ask me, if I wanted to go with Tails and him to Aqua city…something about facing his greatest fear"
"Figures…aqua phobia, Sonic can't even swim…this I've got to see" he chuckles a bit before Shade glares at him.
"What"
"Are you laughing about Sonic?"
"No" he lied; he knew Shade respects Sonic a lot, after that incident involving her clan and the Twilight Cage. She also respected knuckles too, because he took on the Leader Ix with her. Those were the two she respected and trust…they were the two closes friends she had beside the others she travel with in order to get the Master Emerald back from Ix.
"But lately…she seems to have caught the!," he saw Shade take a step down the stairs causing him to run away from her as she went after him "how did she know I was laughing about Sonics fear of water…unless…she figure it out with the water and the name of the city" he ran into a forest with Shade still right behind him.
Voi City
3:30pm
Voi City; a city with tall buildings everywhere including the slums which made it confusing on where someone would live! It also made it even more confusing if someone got lost and couldn't find their way home.
Down on the street, something was going on. Stands were open with humans and other animal creatures selling or buying items. They included 'books, furniture, sheets, food, Televisions and even weapons, not really surprise, but it was another way to make money.
In an alley somewhere, the Black and White Hedgehog was leaning against a brick wall listening to some people argue about something. It couldn't understand the language, but it didn't matter…all that matter was the Chaos Emeralds.
"I better find a disguise before drawing some attention" looking up, there was a clothes line with some clothes on it and a Black cloak which made it perfect to conceal its identity. The hedgehog jumped up and grabbed it off the clothes line before landing back onto the pavement.
The hooded cloth fit perfectly for the hedgehog "Perfect…now to look for the emerald" it put the hood over its head and walked out of the alley. Its entire look was completely safe at the moment.
Walking out into the busy streets, the black and white hedgehog blended in with the crowds. No stares or strange looks from the citizens"Good…now, no one will know what I look like for now" the four spines on its back were also safe.
The black and white hedgehog kept walking while look for the strong source of Chaos energy that flow through its body. It dodges humans and other animal creatures going the other way so nothing would collide into it.
"This city is another violent city with so much violence…including the small country itself…so much violence, death, civil wars, greed, corruption, blood and power…but doesn't anyone do something about it…the only alternative way to fix it…is to destroy it"
Stopping in the middle of the street; the hedgehog saw a dark violet glow from a stand that was crowded with creatures and humans. Smirking, it went over to the stand and shoves its way through the crowd of people speaking in different languages and accents. When it got to the front, the dark violet glow came from the violet Chaos Emerald.
"There's the third one…four more to go" the hedgehog grinned, grabbing the chaos emerald and shove its way quickly through the crowd as someone shouted something.
"Time to go" it was alerted to what it did.
It flew to the sky and levitated in the air as it looked up and saw space.
"I'm close to the atmosphere…good, high enough to destroy that country" all of a sudden, a flaming black ball of energy appeared out of nowhere, in front of the hedgehog.
The black and white hedgehog just glared at the flaming ball of energy, before it was shot straight down into the city below. It went straight into the city, exploding in the process and creating a massive fire ring that went out in all directions, vaporizing everything that existed in the country.
The black and white hedgehog just glared down at the burnt country that was now a total wasteland.
"How pathetic and I didn't have to use my hands or anything…and I'm going to keep this cloak, it looks really good on me"
It then teleported away in a blue flash of light!
Plane
3:40pm
Knuckles was onboard a plane with Shade, the two echidnas were in first class…all thanks to Shade. She had a headphone set and was nodding her head to some music she was listening too.
Rolling his eyes, he stared back at a movie that was playing…it was the only thing to keep him occupied for the time being.
He suddenly laughs at one of the scenes that were playing "oh that's hilarious" he laugh out loud but was drown out by shushing; he grumbled a few words as the movie continued playing.
The two echidnas were occupied as the plane continued to its destination.
Station Square
4:53pm
"And this is what left of the country; it's unfortunate how this happen…just like Diamond City was destroy…wait, hold on…we're getting breaking news from Future City"
The news stations on the TV change to a different screen of some ruin buildings in the backround.
"It just came out of nowhere…an explosion lighting up the sky; just before that happen…a call from a Jewelry store claim that a creature wearing a cloak, came into the store and took the blue chaos emerald…in a few moments a ball of fire came from the sky and half of the city was demolish…its unclear if this is connect to the Diamond city event and Voi City event…GUN is investigating the incident right now…but its unlikely any statement will be release to the press"
High on top of a skyscraper; a crimson black hedgehog was rubbing its chin after seeing the news.
"A city destroy, a country wipe off the face of the earth and half of Future City in ruins…three chaos emeralds stolen under four hours…I better find the other emeralds before this creature finds the other four" the black hedgehog raise its Green Chaos Emerald it always held onto and shouted 'Chaos Control', teleporting away in a blue flash of light.
