Back to the Future

It was a while until Shadow, Amy, Silver, and Granite returned to Cream's charred house.

"It looks like the phantoms didn't hesitate to tear down the house as well." Amy said sadly.

"I just hope there's still enough time to save everyone else." Silver said.

"I'm sure they're fine." Shadow said.

"How would you know that?" Silver asked in astonishment.

"Please, I know my friends better than you do. They always have a tendency to survive. Then, they always get into trouble again, and so on."

"Whatever you think." Silver said. "Problem is, where are the phantoms hiding?"

Suddenly, everyone heard some squeaking in the distance. Amy listened close.

"That sounds like Cheese!" she exclaimed.

"Who?" Granite asked.

"Cheese, he's Cream's chao." Amy explained.

"Did I just hear that correctly? A chao?" Granite asked.

"Yeah, a chao. Why?" Amy asked.

Then, Cheese popped up in front of everybody.

"Because I had never seen a chao in such a long time, oh, say about, fifty years! In fact, our entire village has never seen a chao in such a long time! This chao looks so amazing!"

"Hey, do you think Cheese might know where everyone is?" Amy asked.

"Save it, it'll be weird for me to take orders from a little cheesy chao!" Shadow snapped.

Cheese then head bonked into Shadow in the stomach. Shadow grunted loudly.

"You deserved it!" Amy shouted. "Don't talk to Cheese that way!"

Shadow looked to Silver for backup.

"Sorry Shad, I'm going to have to go with Amy for this one."

Shadow frowned. "You always take her side!"

"Because she's right most of the time!" Silver snapped back.

"He's right." Granite agreed.

"You don't even know her that well! How would you know?!" Shadow yelled.

"Guys, can we just follow Cheese and save everyone else?" Amy said trying to break the quarrel.

"She's right, let's follow this 'Cheese', and save their friends." Granite said.

Shadow sneered, but agreed to follow. He really wasn't against this idea, but he just wanted to look good, not to take orders from an innocent chao.

They followed Cheese in what seemed like forever. Finally, they came up to an empty area.

"And…this is where they are?" Shadow said, now annoyed. "That's it, next time I'm never trusting another chao again!"

"Calm down Shadow, maybe there's a secret entrance to their hideout around here." Silver said.

Suddenly, Cheese was pointing forward.

"What is it Cheese? You want us to go forward?"

Cheese nodded.

"Oh that totally fixes everything!" Shadow shouted sarcastically. "Run forward into more nothingness! That really brings us closer! Good job Cheese! Are you direction challenged, because I think you…"

Amy was now fed up. She hit Shadow in the back of the head with her hammer. Shadow fainted.

"Next time, we're never bringing you with." Amy said. "You always make a problem out of everything!"

Shadow got up. "Look, I didn't have to save your life in the first place, so you better be thankful I did!"

"You're REALLY starting to bug me right now Shadow, besides, you have to learn to control your temper!"

Shadow sneered and groaned this time, staring at Amy as she turned her back.

"Now Cheese, are you sure you want us to go forward?" Amy asked politely.

Cheese nodded again, certain this was the right way.

Shadow pushed his way through. "Look, if there any way we're going to save everyone, then I suggest we stop standing around and get moving!"

"Shadow!! I told you to control your temper!"

"But he's right." Granite said. "We're wasting time just standing here. If we are going to save them, then we can't waste time and we must hurry."

"Right, and if there is a secret way in getting into the phantom's hideout, then let's move forward." Shadow added. "And I'm going first."

"Shadow! Why are you going first?" Amy asked.

"Two very good reasons: one, I want to hurry up and get this over with, and two, you're not going first because if something does happen to you, then there goes our last emerald. You're going to be the person who gets out alive in any danger situation, and the rest of us are the ones who stay behind."

Shadow first put his hand forward, and then it went in this portal. He took it out quickly, and looked at it suspiciously. He picked up a rock and threw it in the portal. Suddenly, it shot right out and it hit Shadow in the head pretty hard. Shadow grimaced, and fainted.

"Shadow, are you all right?" Silver asked.

"I'm fine." Shadow said, shooing away Silver. "What the heck just happened? Why did that rock shoot right back at me?"

"Hmm, I don't know. Portals aren't like that." Silver said.

"I wish I knew the scientific explanation for this." Amy said. Then she sighed. "If only Tails were here, then he would've been able to help us out. But instead, we have to figure it out for ourselves."

"I don't care!" Shadow shouted. "I'm getting in this portal, whether anybody likes it or not!" Then, Shadow ran in the portal.

"Shadow wait!" Amy yelled, trying to stop him. But it was too late. He already went inside. Everyone waited, and waited, and waited, until Shadow shot back out of the portal. He went flying backwards into a boulder.

Everyone ran to him to see if he was all right.

"What is going on here?!" Shadow shouted, now getting frustrated.

"Calm down Shadow, there must be a way to get inside here!" Granite said.

"Yeah, but how? I don't see any way of how we can get inside." Silver said.

Suddenly, Shadow hit his hand on his forehead. "Of course, why didn't I think of this before? I know where Sonic and everyone else are located! In other words, I know where this portal leads to!"

"Where?" Amy asked.

"It leads to the Shadow Steeple, located in that weird-looking, phantom-like ghost town."

"The same place where Sonic went to find that purple emerald?" Amy asked.

"Precisely the place. I was there, but I don't know how to get in."

"How can you not know? You were there!" Silver said.

"I was knocked out cold by the Phantom Leader, and he dragged me inside, so I don't know how to get in." Shadow explained.

Amy started thinking. "You know, it took us a while to get inside the ghost town, because we were in a different dimension."

"You mean to say that this place is in another dimension? What kind?" Silver asked.

"I'm not sure, but we needed the Chaos Emeralds to get in because we needed more power to get inside. You don't think, that in order to get inside, we have to run faster than the speed of sound? Or maybe even at least Mach 3?"

"How much is Mach 3? Or how fast in this case?" Granite asked.

"It's about 2250 miles per hour. The speed of sound is 750 miles per hour. And the speed of light is Mach 4, or 3000 miles per hour." Shadow said.

"Holy crap! You need to go that fast in order to get into just one portal?! That's insane!" Granite yelled.

"Well, yeah, if you set off a full-sized rocket into space, you have to go at least Mach 4 to break the sound barrier, and to fully break away from the gravitational force. If you didn't go that fast, you wouldn't be able to get into space. Same goes here, I guess."

"Yeah, but we have to go back and find Eggman's ship. It might be at his hideout." Amy said.

"Ah, Eggman. We haven't seen him in a long time. Last time we saw him is when we kicked his butt!" Amy said again.

"Correction: after SONIC kicked his butt." Shadow said.

"True." Amy said.

"How do we get back there though?" Silver asked.

"Simple." Shadow replied. "I can just use Chaos Control to get there."

"Well, you better hurry!" Granite said. "I'm not sure if we have much time left!"

"Relax, I'll get us there in a flash." Shadow said.

He took Amy's emerald and started concentrating. Finally he shouted, "Chaos Control!" Instantly, they all disappeared and appeared in front of Eggman's base. Inside, Eggman was depressed and angry at the same time.

"Oh, why can't I defeat that meddling hedgehog once, just ONCE?!" he shouted. "When I'm through with this new and improved robot, he'll be sorry that he destroyed my first one! There's no way that he'll be able to defeat me TWO times in a row!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!"

Eggman paused. "Well, considering the fact that he's beaten me numerous times in the past."

Just then, Shadow spoke up. "Hello doctor." He said.

Eggman jumped. "Haven't you heard of knocking?!" he yelled. However, he did not know it was Shadow, and when he turned around, he was surprised.

"Shadow? What are you doing here?"

"Well, you see…" Shadow began.

"Enough, I don't want to hear it!" Eggman yelled back.

"I told you he wouldn't cooperate." Shadow whispered to Amy.

"Guards! Seize them!!" Eggman yelled.

Then out of the darkness, a giant robot came towards the gang. But suddenly, they heard the robot loosing power, and fell right in front of Shadow. Everyone stood frozen, while Amy tried not to laugh. Shadow looked down at the robot and kicked its giant head off of its body. The head flew into Eggman's hands.

"Oh, you stupid ROBOT!!" Eggman yelled as he threw the robots head on the floor.

"Gee Eggman, that was pretty pathetic if you ask me." Shadow said. "What's with the robot failure?"

Eggman groaned. "After Sonic defeated my last robot, I started running out of parts to rebuild it. Not only that, I didn't have any energy to run the robot again. Ever since then I've been taking parts and energy from my other ones to rebuild this new one. But, I haven't had much luck. Yes, I am successfully rebuilding my new robot, but my other ones are failingand don't have any more energy left, like the one you briefly encountered."

"So, all of your robots are pretty much done for?" Amy asked.

Eggman groaned again. "That's what it pretty much looks like. If I want to rebuild this robot, I'm probably going to have to sell some stuff, so I can get some money to buy new parts. I might even need to sell my beloved ship and…"

Silver interrupted him. "Hold on! Did you say ship?"

"Yeah, ship. What did you think I said?" Eggman asked.

"So you don't need it anymore?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Well, if it won't be much trouble if we take it?" Amy asked.

Eggman squinted at them. "You? What do you want it for? Why do you need it?"

"Well, we need it to find Sonic and save everyone else."

"I'll give it to you, but on ONE condition:" Eggman said.

"And what's that?" Shadow asked.

"You have to pay me for the ship. I'm selling it, and you pay the money."

"WHAT?!" Silver exclaimed. "We don't have money!"

"Well then, no money, no ship. Now leave if you don't need anything else!" Eggman said.

"Wait!" Amy shouted. "I do have something that might interest you." She pulled out the purple chaos emerald.

"Amy, are you serious? Don't give that away!" Shadow shouted.

"A Chaos Emerald, huh?" Eggman said. He then swiped the emerald from Amy's hands. "Deal! It's done! Take the ship! Use it for whatever reason!" Eggman said as he grinned, eyeing the emerald. "Now, I have another deal: I go with you."

"Now hold on a second!" Amy said. "That's going too…"

However, she was stopped by Shadow. He grabbed her and covered her mouth. "Deal!" Shadow said.

"Alright, then let's head out!" Eggman shouted.

Eggman marched out in front, while Shadow and Amy staggered behind.

"Shadow! Why did you take the deal?" Amy asked.

"Two reasons:" Shadow said. "One, this way we'll be able to keep our eye on the doctor to make sure he won't be doing anything sinister while we're gone, and two, we almost lost that emerald out of our possession, but now, the emerald is still with us."

"If he wanted to do something sinister while we're away, why did he want to go with us?" Amy asked.

Shadow shrugged. "Maybe he wants to kill Sonic, but if that's the case, we'll be able to stop him."

"Ok." Amy said. "I just don't want anything to happen to Sonic, even if he's evil and is a phantom."

They caught up to Eggman, Granite, and Silver outside, behind the base where the ship was located. They entered in the ship and then Eggman turned on the controls.

"Power is on, check. Self Defense system on, check. Lights on, check. Ready for lift-off!" Eggman said.

Then, the ship's power boosters turned on and lifted the entire ship off the ground.

"Here we go!" Silver shouted, excited.

The ship then zoomed at an enormously fast speed. Everything was under control, and Shadow was showing Eggman where to go.

"Stop!" Shadow shouted.

Eggman stopped the ship in midair. "What's the hold up?" he asked.

"Ok, now there's a portal that leads to the other dimension. What we need is for you to go at maximum speed. It's impossible to get through without going at least Mach 3."

"So, you need me to go at maximum speed? But that'll use up a whole lot of energy!" Eggman said.

"Calm down. We only need to go at maximum speed only once. Besides, this is the main reason why we took it in the first place."

"That's the only reason?" Eggman asked. "What a waste! I might as well give this emerald back to you…"

Shadow grinned.

"Then again…" Eggman began. "Why should I?"

Shadow's grin fell. "Look, will you just go at maximum speed please and get this over with?" he asked.

"Very well." Eggman said. "Initiate maximum speed now!" Eggman said.

Then, the boosters in the back started charging up. All of a sudden, the ship flew forward at blinding speed into the portal. However, the ship was stuck.

"I don't know if we can make it through Shadow!" Eggman yelled. The ship was battling with the portal. The portal started pushing them back.

"Eggman, move faster, hurry!" Shadow shouted.

Eggman turned up the speed of the ship, but they were still battling.

"I can't increase the speed any higher!" Eggman shouted. The portal was now pushing them back again.

"We'll never make it!" Amy shouted.

"Yes we will!" Silver shouted back. He used his telekinesis power to move the ship forward. This time, the ship was pushing the portal back.

"We're still not getting through!" Granite shouted.

"This is at my full power!" Silver shouted back.

"How come it was easier to get through this portal last time?" Amy asked Shadow.

"Because last time we had four emeralds with us!" Shadow shouted back.

"We're running out of power!!" Eggman shouted.

"I won't be able to bring the ship through the portal all by myself!!" Silver shouted back. "How will we get through then?"

"I don't know!" Eggman shouted back.

Shadow then went over to Eggman and grabbed the emerald from him. Then, he walked to the entrance.

"Shadow, what are you doing? Get back here!" Eggman shouted. Shadow ignored him.

"Shadow, NO!" Amy shouted.

"Everyone, grab on to something!" Shadow shouted.

"Why?" Silver asked.

"JUST DO IT!!" Shadow shouted back.

They obeyed, and grabbed some control panels on the ship.

"Hold on tight!" Shadow shouted. He opened the door and then almost everything flew out the door. Everyone inside was holding on as tight as they could, and they did not fly out. Shadow on the other hand, did fly out, but that's what he wanted to do.

"What is he doing?" Eggman asked.

Shadow held the emerald tight in his hand as he climbed the roof of the ship. He was crawling on his stomach, grabbing the roof tight with his hands, preventing himself from being blown out of the portal. The force was strong though, as he did have some trouble crawling. The emerald almost flew out of his hand, but he grabbed it just before it blew out. In fact, he almost lost his balance and almost flew out himself, but again, he grabbed the side of the ship before he blew out.

"WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF POWER!!" Eggman yelled.

Shadow made his way to the top of the ship and grabbed the spire.

"WE'RE OUT OF POWER!! WE'RE DOOMED!!" Eggman yelled.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow yelled as he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the ship disappeared. It reappeared on the other side of the portal. For a moment, it seemed like time stood still. Everyone opened their eyes to find that the ship hovered in midair for a moment, and then fell to the ground. They had successfully made it to the Shadow Steeple.

"Is everyone all right?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah, we're fine." They responded.

"WOW!!" Granite yelled. "I've never gone on an daring adventure like that in a long time!! I feel so young!!" Granite yelled extremely happy.

Shadow and Amy smiled at this, seeing how happy he was. Shadow turned around and started walking to the steeple.

"Shadow! Where are you going?" Amy asked.

"Where do you think? To the steeple!" Shadow responded.

"Well, I know that, but aren't you going to help everyone else?"

"Meh, they can catch up to me on their own. Right now, a whole lot of time has been used up, and I'm not going to stand around while everybody else uses up time." Shadow responded.

Amy sighed. "Always great to talk to you Shadow." She said sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Eggman was over to the side, kneeling down at the horribly damaged ship.

"Why did this have to happen?" he said sadly. "It never harmed anyone!"

"Gee, he really needs to get out more." Silver said.

"Shadow, wait up!" Amy said as she was running to catch up.

"Hey, don't leave without us!" Granite shouted. He and Silver left to catch up, while Eggman staggered behind.

Meanwhile in the steeple, Knuckles, Cream, Flash, Static, and Tails were locked up in the cell, guarded by Sonic.

"Let us out! Let us out!" Knuckles shouted.

"Forget it Knuckles, they'll never let us out." Static said.

"Listen to the wise hedgehog, Knuckles." The Phantom Leader said.

"Oh, why don't you shove it!" Knuckles shouted angrily to him.

"Knuckles, keep your cool." Flash whispered to him.

The Phantom got up and flew over to the cage. He grabbed Knuckles by the throat and started choking him. Then, he threw him to the ground.

"Don't test my patience, echidna!!" he shouted to Knuckles. "Or you're going to be Sonic's lunch!"

Knuckles got up. "You can torment us all you want, but I'm sure Shadow and Amy are going to be here soon, and THEN you'll be sorry you tormented us!"

"Them? HA! They don't stand a chance against me! They'll be ripped to shreds when we're done with them, right Sonic?"

Sonic chuckled evilly. "Of course, master."

"That's a good phantom. Soon, you'll be the new leader of the Phantom Elect, and we'll finally rule the world!!"

"I wouldn't count on it!" a voice said from the entrance.

The Phantom looked behind him and saw Shadow, Amy, Granite, Cheese, and Eggman.

"YOU!!" he shouted.

"Shadow! You made it just in time bro!" Static shouted.

"I was expecting you, Shadow. I know you have the emerald. It's time to pay up! Let's make the bargain!"

"Bargain? What bargain?" Shadow asked.

The Phantom chuckled as he snapped his fingers. Sonic went over to the cage and grabbed everyone with his arms. The arms stretched all the way around them, and they were helpless.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Shadow shouted in anger.

"Hmhmhm. It's the bargain, of course. You hand me the final emerald, and your friends will be spared. If you don't cooperate, they will all be Sonic's main course!"

Shadow groaned in total anger.

"I'm waiting for a choice. Oh, and if you take too long, the emerald is mine, and your friends will still be the main course!"

Shadow laughed.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!" the Phantom asked now impatient.

"Really? Sonic? Eat my friends? Ha! That's a laugh. He's a hero, not a villain. He couldn't hurt a fly."

"Shadow, what are you doing?" Amy whispered to him.

Shadow looked at her and winked. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing." He whispered back.

The Phantom cleared his throat. "Perhaps I wasn't clear on Sonic eating your friends. He's evil all right. And he'll tear anything to shreds."

"Oh really? Prove it!" Shadow said.

"Prove?! What's there to prove?" the Phantom asked.

"How Sonic can tear anything to shreds, no matter how hard or how tough it is." Shadow replied.

"Very well. Release his friends Sonic. We apparently need to prove to Shadow here how dangerous you are."

Sonic let go of everyone and turned his attention to the Phantom.

"Bring in the first test." The Phantom ordered.

Immediately, the other phantoms brought out a wooden desk.

"Sonic, annihilate that desk." He ordered.

Sonic ran to the desk and grabbed it with his bare hands. He immediately broke it in half with ease. Then, he finished the residue by chewing on it with his teeth. It only took him five seconds to turn the cracked desk into rubble.

"Very impressive. But I'm still not convinced." Shadow sassed.

"More proof? Well, I guess it's not bad. After all, Sonic's giving quite a workout for his teeth, which will be perfect when he eats your friends. Bring out the second test!"

The phantoms brought out a huge boulder. Sonic did the exact same thing.

"Still not satisfied!" Shadow sassed again.

The Phantom was getting fed up of Shadow's disbelief. So, Sonic went through tons of stuff that he just annihilated easily. However, Sonic was not tiring out, but the Phantom was getting EXTREMELLY annoyed.

"ANY MORE PROOF YOU NEED?!" he asked Shadow.

"Just one more test." Shadow said. "If Sonic can break those bars off that cell and chew them to pieces, then I'll believe."

Without thinking, the Phantom shouted, "DONE! Sonic, chew those bars off!! Once and for all!"

Sonic went over to the cell and tore the bars off the cell. He immediately chewed the bars to pieces.

"NOW DO YOU BELIEVE?!" the Phantom asked.

"Yeah, you win, now I believe. I believe Sonic's got the muscle and the heart to kill, but I don't believe he's got the brains. I think he's gotten WAY dumber when he turned into a phantom. I also believe you don't have the brains either."

"What do you mean?" the Phantom asked.

"Shadow pointed to the cell. However, no one was in it. Sonic and the Phantom were tricked into chewing the bars off the cell, releasing the others.

The Phantom was now enraged. "I'VE BEEN TRICKED!!"

"Now everyone! Attack!!" Knuckles shouted. They were hiding on the ceiling, and then they pounced on the phantoms.

"Don't lose your guard phantoms!" the Phantom commanded. "Do whatever you can to destroy them! We beat them once, we can destroy them now!"

The fight was quite brutal. Static, Flash, and Silver were not having that much trouble due to their superpowers. One phantom almost destroyed Amy.

"Amy, look out!" Static shouted. He then electrified the phantom before he landed on her, and then he followed up with a roundhouse kick.

"You better stick with Shadow, you'll be safer that way."

"Yes, and thank you." She said.

"Your welcome. Now go!" he commanded. She nodded and hid behind Shadow.

"Oh, what am I now, your bodyguard?" he said sarcastically.

"Calm down, it's only until we get everyone out safe and sound." She said.

Shadow groaned. "Alright, but stay behind me at all times. Don't go anywhere, don't interrupt unless it's an emergency, and above all, warn me if you get captured."

Amy rolled her eyes. "No duh, you think?" she muttered.

One of the phantoms came over to Granite. "Time to die old man!"

"Don't underestimate me just by my age." Granite warned him.

The phantom ignored him though and leaped at him. But suddenly Granite pointed his hand at the phantom, and instantly, the phantom turned into solid rock. A second later, the phantom crumbled into dust.

Everyone watched in amazement and awe.

"Granite, that was amazing!" Silver exclaimed. "I didn't know you had superpowers!"

"Yeah, kind of amazing isn't it?" Granite said.

While they were talking, the Phantom snuck very stealthily behind Shadow and grabbed Amy.

"AH!! HELP!!" Amy shouted.

"We got what we need here men!" the Phantom exclaimed. "Time to retreat!"

Instantly, him and his other phantoms vanished into thin air.

"Where could they have gone?" Shadow asked.

"I'm sure they're not far from here!" Static said. "They couldn't have gone far!"

"Guys, look!" Tails suddenly shouted. He pointed to some purple smoke outside.

"That must be them!" Shadow shouted. "Let's follow them!"

"Good idea, I'll lead since I'm the fastest one here." Flash said.

"I wouldn't say that." Shadow thought, doubting that Flash was faster than him.

Flash did lead however, and the phantoms fled to an abandoned building.

"Alright girl! Where is the emerald? Don't try to hide it either, because we know you have it!" the Phantom said.

"I don't have it, and that is the truth. I give you my word."

"LIES!! I'LL ASK YOU AGAIN: WHERE IS THE EMERALD??!!" the Phantom asked again, only more angry.

"I don't have it." Amy responded, surprisingly calm. "Now, will you please let me go?!"

"Very well, if you won't give it to us, then I'll have to search your clothes to see if you do have it."

"SEARCH MY CLOTHES?! No way!! Haven't you ever heard of a woman's privacy?" Amy asked in shock.

"No, and I don't care!" the Phantom responded in a rude way. He then turned into smoke and went through her clothes and body however, he couldn't find it.

"She's telling the truth, she doesn't have the emerald." The Phantom said.

"Thank you! Now, I must be going." Amy said as she got up and headed for the door. However, the Phantom blocked the way.

"You're not going ANYWHERE!" he shouted. "Just because you don't have it, doesn't mean you don't know where it is! Now, since you don't have it, who does?"

Amy refused to respond. As a result, the Phantom slapped her with the back of his hand pretty hard. She fell to the ground, and Flash watched in horror to how she was being treated.

"Don't try to be sassy and smart by not answering me and being quiet! You have another chance to live! This is the last time I'll ask you before you'll probably die: who has the emerald?!"

Amy wiped the blood from her mouth. "Very well, you want answer, I'll give you an answer!" she sighed. "Eggman has the emerald."

"Ah, thank you so much. If you would've cooperated earlier, you probably would've left earlier as well."

"NOW, may I go?" Amy asked.

"Yes, you may go." The Phantom responded.

Amy headed for the door, but the Phantom grabbed her.

"Not out that way though." He said.

"Well, how do I get out then? The window?" she said sarcastically.

"Precisely. You're leaving out the window."

"WHAT? But I'll die!" she shouted.

"That's the point! HAHAHA! It was nice knowing you Amy Rose! Have a good afterlife! Adios!"

He then threw her out he window, and she screamed as she was thrown out. However, Flash caught her.

When the Phantom didn't hear anymore screaming, he thought she had died. He looked out the window, hoping to see the dead body. But to his surprise, he didn't.

"What the…" he said.

"What happened?" another phantom asked. "Where is the girl? She should've perished!"

While they were looking out the window, Flash ran in and grabbed the other six emeralds. No one knew he was in there because he faster than the speed of sound. The phantoms turned back and saw that the other emeralds were gone.

"WHAT??!!" the Phantoms shouted furiously. "THEY TOOK THE EMERALDS!! FIND THEM!!!!"

All of the phantoms chased after Flash. Flash then threw the emeralds to Silver.

"Silver, catch!" he shouted. "Now hurry up and use Chaos Control!"

Silver nodded and took one emerald and gave another to Shadow. They then grasped the emeralds in their hands and crossed their arms and said: "CHAOS CONTROL!"

A time portal opened that lead to the future. Everyone jumped in, including Phantom Sonic, and before the other phantoms could get in, it closed on them. The time portal was closed, and the group had traveled back to the future.
