It was already 09:30 local time, 3645/08/13 when we got to North Island, but when we arrived; the Kaito notified us that the remaining Chaos Emeralds had been stolen by a group of dinosaur-like machines led by a spider-like robot. When I asked them about the machines, the Kaito said that the dinosaur-like robots had kicked the Emerald Guardians away before taking two of the Chaos Emeralds. The other four were stolen by the spider-like robot, which had killed four of the Kaito guards before escaping.
"Did anyone try to stop the machines?" I asked them.
"No. A black hedgehog that looked like you came by and saw what was happening. The robots realized what was going on and fled while the hedgehog didn't say his name, but he said that he would handle this before leaving to pursue them."
"Black hedgehog!? It probably wasn't Neoshadow, since he his fur is shadowy-purple a.k.a. Onyx. Yet Shadow the Hedgehog Sr. is dead. Something weird is going on."Sonic said to me.
"Weird stuff has been happening recently, Sonic." a voice from behind me said.
I immediately turned around and saw Kobo the lion standing next to Sumba.
"The Kendo have been having trouble in the jungle to the south of both prides. Apparently most of their hunting parties have gone in only to never come back. Just about two weeks ago, another hunting party led by Lloyd disappeared in that jungle. We want you to find out what's going on." Sumba said to us.
"Sure, we can do that."
