CHAPTER 11
Within 10 minutes, a blue storming was able to catch up to Sonic's Mach 1 speeds. Sonic flipped himself into the cockpit, and quickly placed the purple Chaos Emerald into the slot, so it could super-power the Storming. The cockpit closed and immediately pitched its way up 90 degrees, gaining altitude at high speed. Suddenly the radio became alive.
"Sonic!" Tails shouted through the speakers. "Did you find anymore Chaos Emeralds?"
"Yup!" Sonic quickly answered. "And I think I broke two of them or something. You're really going to need to check this one out, 'cause they are releasing huge amounts of power."
"I never knew that Chaos Emeralds could bring out more energy. Like, they already can bring out enough energy to destroy an entire planet with the right amount of tools (Eclipse Canon). I'll go check it out and see how much more energy it can release, but I have no idea if I have the equipment to measure such a high frequency of energy. I was barely able to measure a normal Chaos Emerald's energy."
"Well, I'm sure you are able to create something very high tech for us. You always manage to pull through in the mechanical realm. I doubt you'll have much problems in this one."
"I sure hope so Sonic." The gleaming plane arced towards the giant floating AAC. Sonic immediately noted the absence of smoke from the AAC's engines which where there earlier. Tails fixed the engines already! Sonic thought. He really knows how to recover very fast!
The Storming faced the front of the carrier and carefully aimed towards the small opening at the front designed for both incoming planes, and outgoing planes. Soon, Sonic was inside showing the Chaos Emeralds to Tails and Shadow.
"You were right, blue hedgehog." Shadow whispered. "You managed to break a barrier in the Chaos Emeralds power. Now we really have limitless powers!" Imagine! Shadow continued in his head. I might just break off from this group and go on my own seeing how staying with them only seems to benefit Sonic. I can't believe he found a secret to the Chaos Emeralds before me. Won't be long before I will surpass him once more.
Tails examined the yellow Chaos Emerald in his full sized Chaos Emerald analyzer he built years ago.
"I need to get a much closer look into the Chaos Emerald, but first I'm going to try to measure the amount of energy it gives out in relation to its normal power output." Tails carefully touched one button among the many which was present on the machine. Suddenly, the machine whirred to life and began to give read outs as the Chaos Emerald began to glow. Suddenly, a spark came from within the machine and the Chaos Emerald launched itself out of the machine. Shadow quickly jumped to the side and caught the Emerald.
"AAAHHH!" Shadow screamed as he dropped the Chaos Emerald. His glove was steaming. "This thing gives out some serious heat!" He studied his glove and noted the burn marks all over it.
"So, what is the verdict Tails?" Sonic curiously asked. He didn't take the event as a good sign at all.
"This Chaos Emerald is much more unstable than the rest." Tails answered. "There's something missing that the Chaos Emerald needs, and its not there yet. I have a feeling, once this Chaos Emerald gets what it needs, it will become extremely powerful. I doubt any technology found on earth would be able to handle it at all."
"Suppose what it needs is the other Chaos Emeralds to work." Shadow suggested. "If it becomes stable, imagine the power we can wield."
"I would love to test that theory out, but…" Tails pointed to the Chaos Emerald Analyzer. Clearly, it was in no shape to do another test run.
Sonic began. "I'm certain there should be no problem in you fi…"
"ENEMY ALERT!!" The speakers screamed into the bridge of the AAC. "ENEMY ALERT!! 2-5 MILES OUT. TIME UNTILL INTERCEPTION: 2 MINUTES AND 3-0 SECONDS. DEPLOYING ANTI-AIRCRAFT MINI-PLANES."
"Now is our chance to get back Amy, Cream and Cheese!" Sonic shouted above the alarm. "Come on!"
"I'm coming with you Sonic!" Shadow shouted. "I'm not going to let you get all of the glory of saving helpless girls."
"Count the Blue Typhoon for full back up!" Tails shouted. Now let's get our friends back!" Immediately the three split.
