Chapter Four: Strange Happenings Pt.1

Early morning. Tails' house,

It was the next morning and Sonic was just waking up for the previous night.

Sonic grab his head in pain. "Whoa. What happen to me last night?" He asked him self. "All I remember was taking Cream and Amy inside, talking to Knuckles and Tails about the stone, then walking down here." He was rubbing his head as he recalled the events of last night. 'I wonder if that stone had anything to do with it?' He thought to himself.

Just then the scent of breakfast caught his nose so he dashed off into the kitchen. When he got there he was surprised to see Cream making some waffles and bacon.

"Oh. Goodmorning Sonic." Cream said when she noticed him standing in the doorway.

"Morning Cream. Smells nice in here." He said as he walked over to the stove.

"Well I woke up pretty early and saw Tails was home but I didn't know you where here."

"Well I'm the one who brought you two into the house after you got attacked."

Cream stopped what she was doing and looked deep in thought.

"Whats the matter Cream?" Sonic asked, seeing her look of distraught.

She stood there for a moment. "That cloaked figure, Oblivion." Cream finally said.

"Ya. He seemed pretty strong." Sonic said sitting on one of the many dining chairs.

"He said he already had a Chaos Emerald, but then he took ours too."

"What! damn!" Sonic said slamming his fist on the table.

"What is it Sonic?" Cream asked worried.

"Knuckles said Oblivion found one on Angel Island and took it from him too! Which means Oblivion has three emeralds right now. While we only have two," Sonic came to the revilation.

"Didn't Tails find one while he was out?"

"No. But he did find this 'Stone of Power' though."

"Stone of Power? Whats that?"

"I don't really know. But Tails says he found it in a cave far out in the ocean."

Amy's room,

Amy had finally woken up and tried to sit up. "Owe. My head hurts." Amy said grabbing her head.

"Please, Miss Rose. Lie back down, you may have a concussion," the metallic voice of Chu3 came into the room.

"What happend?" She asked as she laid back down.

"You were attacked by an unknown figure." He said, laying an ice pack over her forehead.

"Where is Cream?" she asked, suddenly remembering the events last night and started to get worried.

"Miss Rabbit is currently making breakfast. I will bring it to you shortly." he said before he walked out of the room.

"Well at least she's ok." She said with relief, closing her eyes once again.

Knuckles' room,

Knuckles woke up with a huge yawn. "Man. I've never felt that tired in my life." He then got off the bed and opened the door. "It seems quiet. Maybe I'm the only one awake." he wondered, peeking his head out into the hall. His thoughts, however were put down when he smelt food coming from the kitchen. He just then heard his stomach start to growl. "Guess I'm hungry," he said walking out of the room.

He was heading toward the kitchen when he went passed the living room and the backpack. 'I wonder if it's still glowing' he thought as he slowly walked towards the backpack. He cautiously opened the pouch that contained the stone, hoping to the Master Emerald that it was still glowing. But to his dismay it was out like a light. "Great." He utter to himself as he closed the pouch and headed to the kitchen.

"Smells good in here Chu3... oh sorry. I didn't know it was you Cream." Knuckles said embarrassed.

"It's ok Knuckles. I'm almost done, so have a seat."

"Well good morning to you Knuckles." Sonic said from behind, startling the echidna.

"Don't do that Sonic!" Knuckles said getting mad.

"Oh. Did I scare the poor Knucklehead." Sonic said teasing him.

"Of course not Sonic!" Knuckles said, ignoring the name and sitting down on one of the chairs. "Seen Tails up yet?"

"Nope. Haven't seen him since last night which was kinda weird."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I didn't you feel weird last night after touching the stone?" Sonic asked.

"What makes you think I touched it?" Knuckles said getting defensive.

"Oh come on Knuckles. We both know after I left you picked it up." Sonic said teasing him again.

"So what! Whats it to you?" He responded by making a fist and pushing it in Sonic's face.

Sonic pushed his fist away. "Ah ha! I knew you couldn't resist."

Knuckles sat there for a moment. "Maybe..."

"So how did it feel? It felt like there was something flowing into your body didn't it? It felt weird right?" Sonic began to question and nudge the echidna. "Don't worry I won't tell Tails."

"What makes you think I'm afraid of him!" Knuckles said waving his arms around.

"Who said anything about being afraid. I didn't bring it up." Sonic teased him in a sly tone.

"Ya well, I'm not so don't worry about it." Knuckles said folding his arms.

Tails' room,

Tails was standing in the middle of his room, silence was everywhere even the wind outside was moving without noise. Suddenly the whole room pulled apart, leaving him standing in darkness. Then there was a bright light which made Tails cover his eyes. When he pulled them away there was an light entity floating a few feet away.

"Who are you?" He questioned.

"I am the Stone of Power. You have passed the tests and now you have received my gift. Use it well." With that the entity vanised.

"Wait! What gift?" He tried to ask but the entity was gone. He stood there thinking before another bright flash happend. He closed his eyes and when it was gone he was back in his room laying on his bed. "Was it, just a dream?" He asked himself, confused. He then notcie he was still in his camo clothes. 'What happend last night' he thought to himself. He got up and went into his bathroom to get ready for the day. He took of his clothes and got in the shower. He then heard a knock at his door.

"Who is it?" He asked poking his head out of the shower.

"Forgive me Mister Prower but Miss Rabbit is finished with breakfast," Chu3 said opening the door.

"What! Cream is here!"

"Yes it seems Sonic brought Miss Rabbit and Miss Rose in yesterday after they got attacked."

"What! Why didn't Sonic tell me then!" Tails said getting mad.

"I couldn't tell you Mister Prower."

'Sigh'. "Ok tell her I'll be done in a minute." He said as he continued his shower.

"Yes Mister Prower." He then shut the door and went to inform Cream.

After Tails finished he got out of the shower and wipped the mirror off when something caught his attention. "What the?..." He looked into the mirror, looking at his eyes when he noticed there were yellow streaks running through them. He kept staring until he blinked and they were gone. "Huh. Weird," he dismissed i as his imagination and finished cleaning up and went do to the kitchen.

Kitchen,

"Mister Prower will be down in a minute." Chu3 came into the room to tell Cream.

"Sonic. I forgot to mention." Knuckles began.

"Mention what?" Sonic asked.

"You know when Tails said not to grab the stone cause the light was going away?"

"Ya. Why?"

"Well when I picked it up last night it went out."

"Oh your in for it now Knucklehead," Sonic warned.

"What's he goin to do 'blab' me to death?" Knuckles said trying not to laugh.

"I don't know Knuckles. My little bro might be getting stronger now so I wouldn't push it."

"I'm not worried." Knuckles said in a confindent tone.

Just then Tails walked into the room. "Oh, hey Knuckles. So you decided to stay?" Tails asked sitting next to him.

"Ya."

"But what about the Master Emerald?"

"Don't worry I'm using that new shield you gave me."

"Great. Glad you liked it," Tails said, in a cheery tone.

"So Sonic." The Kitsune turned his attention to his older brother. "How come you forgot to mention Cream and Amy were attacked yesterday?" He said with an anoyed look on his face.

Just then Knuckles scooted his chair out of the line of fire.

"I guess it must of slipped my mind," Sonic said putting his hand on the back of his head in embarrassment. This didn't work. "Hey I was too into your story about the stone, so it must have slipped my mind."

"What ever."

'Whew dodged a bullet' Sonic thought to himself nervously.

Meanwhile Knuckles was trying not to laugh.

"Here you go Tails," Cream said handing him a plate of food.

"Wow Cream. Looks good. Smells good too," Tails said picking up his fork.

"Thanks Tails," Cream said blushing. To which all in the room noticed except Tails who was stuffing his face with some waffles.

"Shall I take some to Miss Rose?" Chu3 had walked into the room.

"Here ya go," Cream handed him a plate of food.

Cream then got some food for Sonic and Knuckles before she too grab some and sat down next to Tails to join the conversation.

"So who attacked you?" Tails asked.

"His name was Oblivion. He brought down me and Amy before we could even attack."

"Wow that strong?"

Cream nodded before she continued. "He was using some dark powers I've never seen before. He also stole our Chaos Emerald before he left."

Then Knuckles butted in. "I also saw him on the island. He found an emerald in a clearing and when I went to take it back from him he knocked me out in one blow." Knuckles had trouble saying that last part, as his pride set in.

"So by what you and Cream just told me he has three Chaos Emeralds?" Tails asked.

Knuckles took a drink before answering "Yep. He's pretty strong I don't know anyone who could do that in one blow." Knuckles said with a look of seriousness on his face.

"And we don't even know the full extent of his power," Sonic voiced in.

"Do you think he's working for Eggman?" Cream asked.

"No. Even Egghead had trouble with Shadow and this new guy puts him to shame." Sonic said.

"So what should we do?" Knuckles asked. By now they had all finished there food and Chu3 cleaned it up.

"Well you still have the other Chaos Emerald right?" Sonic asked.

"Of course. It's still in the engine. Why?"

"How many are you going to need to power this new ship your building?"

"About three."

"Well I gave Chu3 one so that means we have two. And I was thinking we should use one to lure Oblivion out so we can take at least one of his." Sonic finished his explination.

"Then what. Knuckles just said he was knocked out in one hit. And he beat me and Amy too," Cream said.

"Ya, well me and Tails weren't there to help but now we are and were ready to go. Right bro?"

"Yep. Lets do this!" Tails said getting excided about the up coming battle.

"So Tails. Would I be able to see the stone?" Cream asked.

Knuckles started to get nervous but hid it well enough so nobody would see.

"Sure. It's in the living room." Tails said.

Tails then lead Cream into the living to show her. They both sat down and Tails picked up the backpack and opened the pouch. When he looked inside he got pissed.

"What's the matter Tails?" Cream asked, taking quick notice of Tails' anger.

"Knuckles! I told you not to touch the stone!" Tails shouted into the kitchen.

(Kitchen)

"Well see ya," Sonic dashed off up to Amy's room.

"So what it's not like it's the end of the world. Besides you let Sonic hold it!" Knuckles shouted back.

Tails then set the pouch down and stormed off into the kitchen. "That's not the point. I told you not to touch it so the light wouldn't go out!" He said getting in the Echidna's face.

"Ya well it wasn't fair so I figured I'd should get to look at it!" Knuckles shouted back.

"You sound like a child!" Tails shouted.

"What did you say?!" Knuckles then drew back his fist and went to swing at Tails.

"Will you two SHUT UP!" Amy shouted. She had been trying to sleep when Sonic came in and she was enjoying it until she heard them two yelling. "God I have a migrain and I can't sleep with you to bickering!" She yelled. She then brought out her Piko Piko hammer. "Now Shut. Up!" She shouted, smacking them both into a wall.

They both hit the wall making imprints of them selves with steam coming off them, twiching. Amy then stormed off back to her room. Sonic had heard the commotion and had gone done stairs to see.

He whislted. "Man. Amy sure did a number on you two." Sonic said trying not to laugh.

"Cram it Sonic!" Knuckles said dusting himself off. He then made his way to the door.

"Wait Knuckles where are you going?" Cream asked.

"I don't need this. I'm outta here."

"But we need your help to stop Oblivion," Cream protested.

"Let them deal with it. It's not my problem," Knuckles then walked out the door.

"Well that's just great. Tails did you have to be mad about it?" Sonic asked.

"Maybe your right Sonic. I guess I got too carried away with it." Tails then headed out the door to get Knuckles.

"Where are you going Tails," Cream asked.

"I'm going to catch up to Knuckles to say sorry," He then went out the door to catch up to said Echidna.

Outside,

When Tails got outside, there was a storm raging. He looked to the ocean and saw a massive hurricane coming Toward his house. He pulled out a comunicater out of his pocket, "Chu3 put up all shields to the house there is a hurricane coming our way!" Tails shouted over the storm before bring the com. to his ear.

"Right away Mister Prower." Chu3 responded.

He put the comunicater in his pocket, before he watched metal encase his whole house and then a green energy sheild covered his house and everything surronding it. Making a dome.

Inside,

Cream and Sonic were watching TV when Cream noticed it was getting dark. "Sonic, what's going on?"

"I don't know Cream." Sonic said looking around.

As if on cue Chu3 walked into the room. "Mister Prower has ordered me to put up all shields, as there is a hurricane heading our way."

Sonic jumped up. "We can't leave my bro out there!" He shouted as he went for the door.

"Please, Mister Hedgehog. Mister Prower will be fine, there's no way to go out unless I open the shields again."

"What? So open them, I gotta get Tails!"

"Sonic I'm sure Tails will be fine. He wanted to protect us from the storm. Please calm down," Amy said, coming down the stairs.

"Ya remember Sonic, he's not stupid he'll be alright." Cream added.

"Ya, your right. I guess I'm just thinkin with the past too much." The blue hedgehog sat back down.

Back outside,

'I gotta find Knuckles quick' he thought. So he took to flight so he could catch up to Knuckles quicker. He got to the train station to see it was all locked up for the hurricane.

Tails knocked on what he thought was the door. "Hello, is anybody there?" He heard a bunch of latches before the door slid open.

"Who's there?" A man poked his head out the door before he notcied Tails standing to the left. "Oh. Hey Tails. What are you doing outside, get in here," the man motioned Tails inside.

"Hey Mike have you seen Knuckles?" Tails asked after the man known as Mike shut the door.

"Ya, as a matter of fact you just missed him."

"What? Where did he go?"

"Well he seemed in a foul mood, but he wanted to use the train. I told him the train was shut down because of the storm, so he said he would walk and went out the back door toward the mountain."

"About how long ago?"

"Just a couple of minutes. If you hurry you might catch him before the storm does."

"Oh I wouldn't worry too much. Thanks Mike I'll see ya later." Tails said running to the back door.

With Knuckles,

'I gotta hurry to the Master Emerald' Knuckles thought as he continued through the mountain.

"Knuckles! Wait up!"

Knuckles turned around to see Tails flying toward him. "What do you want?" He asked in a harsh tone.

"I just wanted to say sorry and bring you back to the house." Tails answered.

"Ya well I need to make sure the Master Emerald is safe."

"My shield will keep it safe just come back to the house," Tails pleaded.

"No way. I need to be sure it's safe."

Tails pulled what looked to be a small computer screen. "Fine here," Tails said turning it on and giving it to Knuckles.

The screen was static for a sec before it showed the Master Emerald safe behind his shield. "Fine but don't talk to me until we get to the house." Knuckles said handing him back the computer.

They both walked back to the train station and knocked on the back door to get through. Mike answered and they went to the front with Tails thanking him before they left. After Mike bolted the door again they broke into a run through the field so they could get to the house fast and before the hurricane did. The weather was horrible it was rainning hard with bits of hail along with it. There was thunder and lighting. Not to mention the speed of the wind was not helping there journey. They had just caught site of the house when a huge bolt of lightning struck next to Knuckles, knocking him away.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tails began to scream in pain as the lightning coursed through his body before he fell to the ground limp.

Knuckles looked on in horror as he watched Tails get struck by the lightning. "Tails!" He shouted as he watched the fox fall to the ground unmoving. He quickly picked the unconscious kit and sped the rest of the way to the house. He quickly reached the shield. "Hey open up Tails is hurt!!" Knuckles shouted as loud as he could. "Hurry up and open the damn shields!!" He continued to shout.

Inside the house,

Sonic, Amy, and Cream were watching a story about the hurricane when Cream Barly heard Knuckles shouting outside. "It's Knuckles! They're back." Cream jumped for joy.

"What!? Chu3 let them in!" Sonic shouted to the robot.

"Right away Mister Hedgehog," he opened his arm and pushed a button. Outside a small door sized hole opened up to let Knuckles and the unconscious Tails to come through.

"Hurry up and open the door Tails is hurt!" Knuckles shouted through the door.

At the sound of his creater being injured the worried robot quickly pushed another button to open the metal hatch to allow Knuckles burst into the house with the unconscious Tails in his arms.

"What the hell happend?!" Sonic asked running to his brothers aide.

He was pushed aside as Chu3 took him from Knuckles' arms and quic brought him to his room followed by Sonic and co.

"We were running to the house and the next thing I know Tails was struck by a big bolt of lightning." Knuckles explained before they got to the room. "Don't worry Sonic he was still alive when Chu3 took him in here," Knuckles quickly added, noticing Sonic's look of horror.

They had entered the room when Knuckles finished talking and Tails was laying on the bed with Chu3 monitering his pulse and checking his vitals. After he was finished he looked up to the awaiting occupants in the room, wanting to know how they're friend was doing. "It seems Mister Prower is..." The robot waited for a sec. "Going to be fine. It just seem he will need some rest but he has no major injurys."

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Tails was going to be ok.

"Wait. If he was struck by lightning then how is going to be ok? Unless, he didn't get hit." Sonic looked at Knuckles.

"What? You callin me a liar Sonic!" Knuckles shouted in Sonic's face.

"Maybe I am! It seems to convenient that there just happens to be a storm and Tails gets knocked out!" Sonic shouted back.

"Will you two shut up! Mister Prower has a small burn on his head, indicating the lightning strike Mister Echidna spoke of." Chu3 said breaking the two rivals apart.

"Ya see Sonic! I think you owe me an apology," Knuckles said folding his arms.

"Alright. I'm sorry Knucklehead," Sonic said snickering.

"What did you call me?!" Knuckles said glaring at Sonic with avain bulging out of his head.

"Ok you two. Lets give Tails so rest and go down stairs," Amy said grabing the two and dragging them by the ears.

"Owe! ok ok just let us go!" they said in unison. Cream started laughing before she shut the door and followed them into the living room.

When they all got into the living room Sonic suggested a movie while Tails slept.

"So what are we going to watch?" Cream asked.

"I don't know, he's got this whole wall of movies lets just pick one." Sonic said looking through all the movies on Tails' wall.

"Geez he's such a neat freak. All his movies are in alphabetical order," Amy said fingering through some movies.

"I think it is Chu3 that's the neat freak," Cream pointed out the robot sweaping the floor near the door.

"I'll have you know I was partly programed to do this." the robot said, sounding offended.

"Touchy," Knuckles said starting to laugh.

"Oh, here's one, Liar Liar," Amy said holding the movie up.

"Ya that movie's pretty funny," Knuckles said.

"Ya lets put it in," Sonic said flopping down on the couch.

Amy put the movie in while Cream went to make popcorn and they all sat down to watch the movie, waiting for Tails to wake up.

Meanwhile,

In an unknown clearing surronded by trees, in the mountains, Shadow was training with his chaos energy when an unwanted visiter appeared.

"Your presence is not welcome here," Shadow stated as he continued his training.

"Well you see I won't be staying long. All I require is the Chaos Emerald you now possess."

Shadow stopped.

"Now of you please hand over the emerald."

Shadow gave his answer by shooting a Chaos Spear at Oblivion. To which he just moved out of the way of the blast, only to almost get punched in the back of the head cause Shadow used Chaos Control to get behind him, he mearly ducked out of the way with ease.

"Fool, you are wasting your time," Oblivion said before being swallowed by darkness.

Shadow quickly tried to find him before he was hit by a black energy ball and sent into a tree. Oblivion then rose out of a dark spot in the ground and began walking toward Shadow.

"I told you, you are wasting you time. Now kindly hand over the emerald." He said before he reached the tree Shadow went through and put out his hand.

Oblivion was standing there with his hand out before he heard Shadow use Chaos Control. 'Sigh'. Before he could continue, Shadow started sending Chaos Spears after Chaos spears from all different directions. Oblivion quickly put up a dark shield around his whole body to protect himself from Shadows attack. After Shadow stopped to see if he hit Oblivion brought down his shield unharmed.

"I'm impressed. So far your the only one out of your friends to cause me to use my shield. But it won't help you. Now I'll give you one more chance to give me the emerald." Oblivion said holding out his hand.

Shadow simply responded by using another Chaos Spear only to also use Chaos Control behind him and punch him in the back of the head. 'Sigh' Oblivion just moved out of the way and let Shadows attack hit himself, sending him into another tree.

"Fine have it your way." Oblivion then disappeared and was standing behind Shadow as he got up. Shadow quickly took a swing at his opponent only to be stopped by a dark hand. Oblivion then made the hand crush Shadows wrist, making him scream out in pain before he was backhanded acrossed the clearing into another tree.

Oblivion just walked over to him to see him laying on the ground out cold. 'Huh. Some 'Ultimate Lifeform'." He said before taking the Chaos Emerald.

'Oblivion' Came his masters sinister voice.

"Yes Master?"

'Bring that one to me.'

"Master?"

'That one has a dark past. He also has a strong connection to the Chaos Emeralds. We could use him.'

"Yes Master. I shall bring him to you now," Oblivion then walked back over to Shadow and enveloped him in dark energy before dissappearing into the darkness.

Tails' house,

Sonic, Knuckles, Cream, and Amy were halfway through the movie when they heard foot steps coming down the stairs.

"What movie are you guys watchin?" Tails asked, walking into the room."

Cream was the first to jump up. "Tails your awake!" She said giving him a huge and making him blush. She quickly realized everyone was looking at her and quickly let go. "Glad your ok," she said pulling her hands behind her back.

"Glad your up bro. How do ya feel?" Sonic asked.

"I feel fine. I'm confused as to how that's possible." Tails wondered, putting his hand to his chin in thought.

"Why would you be confused. You know I heard a saying. 'You don't look a gift horse in the mouth'." Amy said.

"Ya but that lightning bolt should have fried me." Tails said still confused.

"Well like Amy said don't sweat bro, your still here and that's all I care about." Sonic said putting his arm around the fox and ruffing up his bangs.

"Ya I guess your right. So has the storm died down yet?"

"We don't know. We can't even see outside, all the windows are blocked by the shield."

As if summoned Chu3 walked into the room. "Ah, Mister Prower your up. Are you feeling well?" the robot asked.

"Yes. But I would do better if there were a fire going." Tails said as he rubbed his arms.

"Way ahead of ya Tails," Knuckles said, walking over to the fire place and putting some wood in it.

"Chu3. How's the weather outside?" Tails asked.

"I'll go check Mister Prower." the robot said before leaving the room.

As Chu3 checked one of the windows Knuckles was playing with the fire, while everyone else sat down to watch what was left of the movie. After a few minutes Chu3 came back into the room.

"The storm is dying down a lot, but is still active," the robot informed before going about it's tasks.

"Well that's good. At least we can go out soon." Cream said taking a seat next to Tails.

They were all watching the movie when something felt off in the air. Thats when they all looked over at Knuckles.

"What?" The red Echidna was completely unaware of what they were staring at. "What are you looking at?!" Knuckles demanded. Thats when he smelt the air around him. He then looked down to see his hand proping him up with part of his glove in the fire.

"Aahh! Why didn't you just say something?!" the frustrated echidna asked as he tried to blow out the fire.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter as Knuckles tried helplessly to put out the flame. Chu3 quickly noticed the destressed echidna, grabbed a bucket of water and used it to douse out the fire. Which inturn caused everyone to laugh even harder as Knuckles was now standing by the fire soaking wet.

"Well at least your next to the fire Knucklehead," Sonic said before bursting into laughter again.

"Mister Echidna. Are you alright?" Chu3 asked.

"I'm fine." Knuckles stated in an irate tone.

"Knuckles look at your hand!" Tails pointed out.

Knuckles along with everyone else in the room looked at Knuckles'. To everyones surpise, Knuckles' hand was unscathed.

"How is that possible?" Cream asked in amazment.

"I... don't know..." Knuckles said, as he to looked at his unburnt hand in wonder.

Everyone turned to Tails for an answer.

"What are you all looking at me for?" The fox asked, getting nervous.

"Well. Your the smart one." Amy stated.

"Ya bro. If anyone could figure this out, it's you." Sonic said with his 'thumbs up' pose.

"Well I guess I could go down to the lab and run some tests." Tails said.

Tails then brought everyone to his lab down stairs next to the hanger where the X2 now sat.

"Ok, first I need to do a scan of your hand Knuckles." Tails explained. He then turned on his scanner and motioned for Knuckles to put his hand in it. His jaw dropped when he got the results.

"What is it? What's the matter?" Knuckles began to question, getting worried.

"I've never seen anything like this..." Tails said as he continued to stare at the results.

"Like what?" Knuckles demanded.

"It's nothing bad. At least I hope not..." Tails trailed off.

"Will you just spit it out!" Knuckles said getting impatient.

"Well the scan shows that the temperature in your hand is a lot higher than it should be."

"So what does it mean bro?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know. Like I said I've never seen anything like this." Tails began to think. "Wait!"

"What?" Knuckles asked as he pulled his hand out of the scanner.

"Come over here, I want to try something." Tails said as he went over to a work station. He then brought out a torch.

"What are you going to do with that?!" Knuckles asked, as he backed away.

"Don't worry. If I'm right on this, then it won't harm you." Tails explained.

"Hey bro, not to rain on your little experiment but, have you lost it?" Sonic asked, shocked at what he was about to try.

"Knuckles I promise I won't hurt you. Now just let me see your hand again."

Knuckles slowly walked over to Tails and held his hand out. Tails then turn on the torch as Knuckles closed his eyes and turned away. Tails then slowly brought the torch closer to Knuckles' hand.

"Can you feel anything yet?" Tails asked as he brought the torch closer and closer.

"Nope. Nuthin."

Tails then brought it even closer. "How bout now?"

"No, still nuthin."

Tails then put the flame directly on to Knuckles' hand. "How about now?"

Then to eveyone's shock Knuckles still said 'no'.

"Knuckles look at where the torch is." Tails said.

Knuckles then slowly opened his eyes. His eyes grew wider and wider as he watched his own hand under the flame and he still felt no pain. "How..." was all that came out of his mouth.

Tails then turned off the torch and set it back on the work station. "I think I know what's going on." Tails said.

"What is it then?" Amy asked.

"It has to be the stone." Tails came to the conclusion.

"What? but how?" Cream asked.

"The place where I got the stone. It said, 'Who so ever passes the tests of the Stone of Power shall recieve it's gifts'." Tails finished reciting the saying. "And when I was sleeping, I had a dream of a white entity that said 'you have passed the tests of the Sacred Stone of Power. Now you shall recieve it's gifts."

"Ya. And you got hit by lightning and your ok too." Cream said.

"Ok. So what about Sonic? Didn't he touch the stone too?" Amy asked.

"Ya you did." Tails turned to his older brother.

"So, what does this mean I'm resistant to something?" Sonic asked, looking confused.

"I don't know what the stone has done. It has apperently made Knuckles resistant to fire, and if I'm right I would be resistant to lightning." Tails said.

"So what now?" Knuckles asked.

"Well, we still have to wait for the storm to go away before we can go outside to try and get the emeralds back so..." Tails said as he began to think of what to do.

"Alright I say we go watch another movie." Cream suggested.

"Ok lets go." Amy said as she grabbed hold of Sonic and dragged him upstairs.

Eggman's Planet base,

"It's about time you two bolt brains got back here!" Eggman yell at his two assistants. "I have already finished with Tanic and have been waiting for you two for ever!"

"But Eggman. You still have yet to put in the space warp on the smaller ships!" Decoe complained.

"What are you talking about? I know I put the warp in yes..." Eggman stopped as he looked at the blue prints to his small ships. "Oh. It appears I haven't. No matter, put Shackles into the Rebuilding Chamber." Eggman ordered.

Along with his new robots, Eggman also used the new materials and technology to build and new machine that can fix robots even from a microchip. Decoe and Bocoe went to get what remained of Shackles to put him into the chamber.

"Oh Shackles, what has he done to you?" Eggman mourned at Shackles' condiotion.

"Don't worry Doctor, he will be back to normal with the push of a button." Bocoe reassured the Doctor as they placed the broken robot into the chamber.

"Fine, just get out of there." Eggman ordered.

Just as his two assistants got out of the chamber, Eggman then started up the machine. There was a bright flash as the machine started it's process to rebuild Shackles. After the machine tuned down the bright flash stopped and the chamber doors slid open to reveal Shackles standing, completly restored.

"Forgive me Doctor, I failed you." Shackles stated with a bow.

"Thank you for stating the obvious. Now, Tanic is in the training room I highly suggest you go join him and train. Or else."Eggman said, annoyed.

"Yes Doctor." with that Eggman opened a big door that lead into large lighted gray room, where Tanic was training with his other half.

Tanic stopped for a moment as Shackles walked by. "Hey. I guess you failed too then?" The twin robots said in unison.

"Shut it," Shackles replied as he walked to the other side of the large room.

"Touchy," the robots said to each other. They then resumed their training.

Eggman then shut the door to the training room and began discussing with his two robot asisstants about his next move. All the while unaware of a certain purple chameleon, hiding behind some crates invisable to the eye.

"Vector, come in Vector," Espio the Chameleon whispered through a two-way radio.

"Vector here, what's your stats?" Vetor replied rather loudly.

"Shhh. Not so loud. I'm currently in Eggman's new Planet Base, gathering inteland recording his conversations." Espio reported.

"Copy, continue your mission," Vector ordered.

"I never wanted to go on this mission in the first place," the Chameleon said to himself.

Flashback,

In an office in the middle of Station Square, three detectives sat in the room, bored at the lact of cases.

"This is getting boring Vector, why doesn't anyone have anything we can do?" Charmy the Bee complained as he flew around the room.

"I have no idea Charmy. I guess that means nobody has any problems." Vector the Crocodile Replied. He was sitting in his chair with his feet up on his desk looking over the recent cases they have worked on.

Espio was leaning next to the door when he heard a knock.

"Who's there?" Vector called to the door.

"It's Topaz!" Charmy exclaimed as he pulled away from the peep hole.

Espio opened the door to reveil the secret agent, holding a folder in her hands.

"This visit is to be kept a secret." Topaz stated as she walked into the office.

Espio shut the door and they all turned their attention to the agent standing in the room.

"By the order of the President you have been give the assignment of finding and infultrating Eggmans new base. Also it is up to you to find and gather as much intel as you can. In this folder is all of the details of your mission." The agent set the folder on the desk and left before anyone could say anything.

"Well I guess we got no choice," Espio said as he looked at the folder that lay before them.

"I think we should ask Sonic if he knows where Eggman's new base is," Charmy suggested.

Just then The Blue Blur they were just talking about just zoomed past their office.

"Well speak of the devil. There goes Sonic now. Quick get to the car so we can catch him," Vector said.

They quickly ran outside, around into the ally to their car and jumped in.

"Don't forget your seatbelt Charmy," Vector said, as he started the car.

"I know I know," The bee said as he was putting on his seatbelt.

Vector then started the car and drove off in the direction Sonic went. It took them about thirty minutes before they finally found Sonic facing off against an orange robot.

"Hey does Sonic look different to you?" Charmy asked as they parked behind a tree.

"Ya, he looks darker," Espio pointed out.

They sat there and watched the events unfold as Dark Sonic was crushing the orange robot under his foot. Just then Eggman showed up with another robot.

"Hey look its Eggman!' Charmy shouted.

"Ssshhh, do you want them to hear us?" Vector asked.

"No, sorry." Charmy said.

"Look its Shadow," Espio pointed, as the Ebony Hedgehog appeared.

"Hey there goes Sonic, and Eggman," Charmy noticed.

"Should we follow?" Espio asked.

"Wait, I think we should wait for Shadow. He might still be with Eggman," Vector said.

So they waited and soon witnessed Shadow fighting against the robot that was left behind.

"I guess he's not with Eggman," Espio said.

"So now what?" Charmy asked.

"I think we should move!" Vector shouted as he push them out of the way of a huge blast.

After the tha blast went away Vector started to look for his two comrades.

"Espio, Charmy are you ok?" Vector shouted as he searched for them

The dust soon settled and he found the Chameleon and Bee lying on the ground.

"What was that?" Charmy asked.

"I think it was Shadow going berserk," Vector said.

They went out into the battle feild to see if Shadow or the robot were still there there but after ten minutes of looking they were nowhere to be found.

"Well that was a bust lets get going," Vector ordered.

They were just geting to the edge of the battle feild when they heard a ship coming down to land. They turned around to see Decoe and Bocoe come out of the ship and start picking up what was left of the robot.

"Hey this is our chance, Espio go invisable and sneak onto there ship." Vector ordered.

"Got it," Espio replied as he went invisable.

Flashback Ended,

Tails' house,

"Hey I'm going to the bathroom," Tails said. He got up and walked to the bathroom, after he was finished he started to wash his hamds when he noticed something in the mirror.

"What the...?" the fox said as he looked in the mirror at his eyes. He noticed that his eyes had something different to them. He was then shocked to realize that there were small bolts of lighting swirling around in his eyes. He then rushed out of the bathroom into the living room.

"Sonic, Knuckles let me see your eyes," Tails said. As he looked into them he noticed there was something different about them too."I need you two to come down to my lab so I can run a few more tests," Tails told them as he ran down to his lab.

"Tails what is it?" Sonic asked.

"Ya whats the big deal?" Knuckles came in.

"Just hurry I'll tell you in a minute.
