(Silver's POV)

It was really dark now; even with my powers I was finding it hard to see. I stopped and, tilting my ears, heard the sound of dripping water. That might mean I was almost out of here. Grinning I started to walk again trying to find the way out of the darkness.


(Shadow's POV)

I can't believe I jumped into a hole in the ground after that idiot; he hadn't even stayed where he was, and he could be anywhere! I did have one advantage over Silver though; I was a lot quicker. I growled as I ran through the darkness. When I found Silver it wouldn't be safe for Amy to leave him with me again...


(Silver's POV)

A soft green light started to fill the tunnel allowing me to stop using my powers... It must be the way out of here! Delighted I started to race forward when I saw a large green gem was where the light was coming from. I stopped and stared at it, it was like a giant chaos emerald. Dully my mind registered a slow grinding sound that I couldn't place. When a shadow fell over me I glanced up and froze in place... my mind went blank as I stared at the falling rock that would hit me.


(Shadow's POV)

It wasn't hard to follow Silver; his powers illuminated the tunnel even before I got close to him. When I did reach my futuristic nuisance I found him staring at the Master Emerald. It appeared Eggman and Rouge hadn't gotten it yet. Of course where ever the emerald is I was aware its gullible guardian wouldn't be far behind. Scowling, I looked around the cavern and saw the stupid echidna pushing a rather large boulder along a ridge above Silver and somehow that hedgehog hadn't realised how much danger he was now in. As Knuckles finally let the rock drop Siler's gaze finally turned upwards. I watched as he seemed to forget he could stop the rock with his powers. A low growl escaped my throat as I launched myself at my unwanted charge and made a metal note to pass my displeasure on to the echidna. I was starting to wish I was looking for Amy's Faker... Silver made him seem almost bearable. Whoever this Blaze was must have been incredibly patient to stay with Silver.
