"Say Chip?" I was now back in my normal appearance, cobalt blue fur and all.
"Hello?" He responded.
"I just wanted to ask… how do I have a connection to the emeralds?" I asked him. He looked at me and sighed. Guess I'm in store for a big explanation…
"I knew you'd ask that…"
"Heh… I'm a curious person." I replied back to him. All he did was sigh and face-palm. I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly, seeing as I was the reason he's exasperated.
"Well, to explain that… I'd need to tell a story." It was my turn to sigh now. I got myself into a comfortable position and let the Chihuahua pup continue.
"It was told that a hedgehog goddess that had a pure heart and stunning beauty went down to this very planet to give help to those who struggled in her eyes. While down they she came across another god hedgehog who was gifted with the ability to do extraordinary things. It was then spoken of that they both feel in love with one another. After an intimate night," I snickered, while he gave me a scowl, "She fell pregnant to a baby hedgehog who had the ability to do extraordinary things like his father, but also had the purest of hearts like his Mother." He spoke. All I could do was stare. How did this have anything to do with me?
He continued, "However, a war occurred, because another god who was engaged to her found out about her little affair with the god who had impregnated his fiancé. In the end, the baby hedgehogs father was killed by his Mother's fiancé. As punishment for her deceit he sent down her son who was born exactly a day before the battle occurred. In rage the goddess killed him and went down to the mortals in search of him."
"Did she find him?" I asked Chip. He shook his head solemnly.
"No. To this day it is rumoured she lives in the skies searching around for her boy. In hope that she could help, she also performed a powerful spell that allowed him to become connected to several gemstones that signified his emotions – red for anger, yellow for fear, green for jealousy, blue for despair, light blue for sadness, purple for happiness, and white for the need to protect." My mouth formed to the letter 'o', but one question played on my mind:
"What does this have anything to do with my connection to the Emeralds?"
"All will be revealed soon, Sonic." My new tiny bud spoke in a weird voice. A mysterious one…
I sighed in defeat.
"Sonic!" Tails came rushing in with his hands going all over the place. I jumped slightly at the sudden outburst, but merely shrugged it off.
"Sup?"
"Professor Pickle has located the first temple!" He shrieked. I motioned my hands to quieten him down.
"So, where to?" I asked him.
"It's right here in Spagonia!" I stood up abruptly and gave him my signature thumbs-up.
"Let's get going then!"

Tails, Amy, Knuckles and Chip all sat either on the seats or the wings of Tails' plane, the tornado, while Shadow and I would be running on the roofs of houses that I was just itching to show off on.
"Race, Shads?" He nodded while I turned towards my more talkative friends.
"We'll meet you there, bye!" I said and dashed off leaving a certain ebony hedgehog to eat my dust.
I did numerous parkour moves that I thought were perfectly executed. Shadow on the other hand… just jumped over them. That's soooo boring… He rolled his eyes towards me but I simply gave him a smirk and charged towards the spot where Tails had told me to go. How I knew my way there… all I could say was instinct. I jumped over a seemingly higher building and saw a strange green and marbled place that I assumed was the temple, and skidded to a halt in front of a very well-built door. I grinned at my ebony faker who simply punched me in the gut.
"Sore… loser…" I muttered.
"Dirty Cheater." He 'corrected'. I looked over to see Tails landing the plane while the other three jumped out. I finally took a good look at Amy and saw that she was wearing a red sports top and black skins with white trainers. I could feel a blush forming on my muzzle, so I prayed that nobody saw it.
Unfortunately, the two people I begged wouldn't see me, did. If you can guess who, I'll give you five bucks.
Shadow smirked, while Knuckles fell onto the floor laughing. Amy gave both of them a quizzical look before turning to me, who simply shrugged. I was gonna give them a serious beating later on… ahem.
Tails jumped out of his plane and walked over to us, giving a confused look, but turned into a slight snicker when he realised I was blushing at Amy's new outfit.
Sigh.
"So!" I started, trying to change the subject, "How do we get in?" I asked my little bro, who was unsuccessfully trying to hold in his laughter.
"Look around for clues, I guess." He replied. I face-palmed and began dashing all over the place, but was stopped short when I heard a familiar voice.
"I'm baaaack!"
"Hello there Eggman! We were just talking about how much we didn't miss you!" I shouted towards my arch-nemesis.
"How thoughtful of you! Now, move aside." He commanded, we all stood our ground however. Why would you be afraid of Eggman?
"Hmph. I should have known. Such bad luck I didn't bring Metal. Fortunately, I did bring my new robot: Egg Devil Ray!" He pressed a button and the pod he was in transformed into a weird… thing. I actually have no way to describe it. Well, it was green, if that helps, and guns at the front that shot this energy ball. So, I simply said: "Leave this to me!" And charged forward at my enemy.
It was fast for a robot this side. I would have just blasted forward… but I was in the mood to actually do stuff, so I held back. It shot several energy beams at me, but I dodged each and every one of them and homing attacked each gun. It was… flimsy to say. Like, this fight was so easy I could have being sleeping and still have beaten him with ease!
Anyway, the guns were out of the way, so I began making my way towards the robot, speeding up slightly. As I came closer I could hear a robotic voice say: "Doctor, Guns are offline." And a furious tantrum by the Doctor. I smirked and homing attacked the robot, and several explosions could be heard.
"Doctor, Guns are offline, Shields are offline. I suggest a retreat." The robotic voice said once again. Eggman went to his last resort and rammed me catching me off guard. I fell to the ground before getting up and finishing the job, ignoring the pounding headache and all.
"That was too easy, you're losing your touch, Eggman." I spoke softly. I ran back towards my friends who had finally opened the door. I charged in with Chip (I had a sense he would be needed for something, don't judge) and saw a pedestal with strange markings on the sides. Chip went up to investigate it without warning, and then the pedestal and Chips bulb that hung on a necklace around his neck light up, before a smaller part of the pedestal lifted up. Not thinking of what would happen next, I grabbed the dulled gemstone and placed it in the hole, before it lit up like the sun and floated in the air. Then the ground began shaking, and I steadied myself before I fell over. I grabbed the Emerald which was now returned back to its normal self and raced back over to my friends. Trying very hard to ignore the headache which was getting more painful by the second.
"Sonic! A piece is back where it should be!" Amy shouted. I smiled at her warmly before winking at her which caused her to blush a deep red.
"Look!" Tails said and showed me the new and improved Miles Electric. I saw one of the bigger pieces move back into its normal place before giving everyone a thumbs-up.
"1 down, 6 to go." I said softly. That was when everybody gave me a look, and the headache became so strong that I fell into a blanket of darkness.
Sorry if this chapter wasn't the longest or best, I wanted to get this out because I'm planning stuff and… I was actually wanting to get out some stuff which was in this chapter. Believe it or not, I did some research for this chapter, and story. All will be explained later. I'm starting other stories, so keep an eye out on those!
Good day!
