Now deep within a forest, Silver, Blaze, and Knuckles had a bit of a problem. "Great job Knucklehead." Silver said. "You just had to go and crash the ship."
"Are you suggesting that it was my fault!?" Knuckles roared.
"Well, you did grab the wheel out of Silver's hands. And then we did crash into this tree." Blaze explained.
"If I hadn't grabbed the wheel, we would've past this place. Then Mephiles would've found the emerald." Knuckles said.
"We wouldn't have past it! I had everything under control!" Silver yelled with his hands glowing as if he were about to attack Knuckles.
"That's enough you two." Blaze said walking between them. "Silver you go on ahead and look for the emerald. Knuckles and I will stay here and fix the ship."
"Okay." Silver flew up and prepared to leave, but first looked back at Knuckles and Blaze. "Later Knucklehead." Knuckles picked up a rock and threw it at Silver, but, of course, he missed.
"Ugh. That annoying little brat." Knuckles said picking up the rock.
"Knuckles get over here and fix this ship." Blaze commanded.
"Aren't you going to do anything?" he asked. Blaze closed her eyes and looked down.
"You ruined it, so you fix it." Knuckles was so mad he crushed the rock in his palm.
"Fine! You'd just mess it up anyway." Knuckles grunted. Luckily Knuckles had kept some tools with him in the ship. He worked on it for a while until he finally finished in an hour.
"Hmm, not bad." Knuckles said looking at the fixed ship.
"Good job Knuckles. It almost looks better than before."
"Okay, now let's go find Silver" Knuckles said giving Blaze a thumbs up. Finding Silver in a giant deep forest wasn't easy.
"Where do ya think he is?" Knuckles asked.
"Probably somewhere getting himself into trouble. We'd better find him quickly." Then all of a sudden, they heard Silver's voice.
"BLAZE! KNUCKLES!" Silver yelled.
"Did you hear that?" Knuckles asked.
"BLAZE! HELP!" he yelled again.
"Yeah. It sounded like Silver." Blaze said looking around.
"But where is he?"
"BLAZE! KNUCKLES!"
"We're coming Silver!" Knuckles yelled as he started to run forwards. He and Blaze ran straight through a long path of trees, but still couldn't find Silver.
"BLAZE! KNCKLES!" Silver shouted again.
"Silver, where are you?" Blaze asked as she and Knuckles came to a stop.
"I'm up here." Silver answered. Knuckles and Blaze looked up to see Silver dangling in a tree with his boot wrapped in a thin green vine. He was also holding a white Chaos Emerald. Knuckles burst out laughing.
"Ha! Gee, Silver you stuck in a tree. Are you pulling my leg? No wait, that tree's pulling yours." Knuckles was rolling around on the ground as Blaze looked at him angrily.
"Knuckles" Blaze cocked her head in Silver's direction. "Get him down."
"What! Why!" Knuckles just stopped as he knew Blaze would just give him some long speech. "Hump. Fine." Knuckles climbed up the tree to get Silver, who was still mocking him.
"You know what they say Knucklehead, those who laugh at others get punished."
"Shut up Silver!" Knuckles finally got up to Silver and broke the vine with his punch. Silver used his psychokinesis to lower Knuckles and himself to the ground. When they landed Silver gave Blaze the Chaos Emerald.
"Good work Silver." Blaze said.
"How'd you end up in that tree?" Knuckles asked.
"Well when I found the Chaos Emerald, that vine just grabbed me and hit me with some pollen that paralyzed me so I couldn't get down."
"Wait if that happened before, then…" Knuckles was caught off when the white Chaos Emerald flew out of Blazes hand and submerged itself in the tree that grabbed Silver. The tree glowed white and grew extremely tall. It then grew arms, legs, and a head. (It looked like Arborick from Spyro and the Eternal Night.)
"Of course it forms into a giant monster." Silver said shrugging his shoulders. "Well we might as well get this over with." Silver used his psychokinesis to throw shock waves at the tree. It spun around hurling fire at the waves destroying them. (You'd remember this attack if you played the game.)
"YOU WANT SOME OF THIS!" Knuckles screamed as he used his screwdriver attack on the tree's ankles. The tree raised his foot and attempted to crush Knuckles. Knuckles dodged and punched at the tree's foot. Blaze shot a large burst of fire out of her hands aiming at the tree's knee. The tree shot more fireballs back down at her and the others. Silver tried to paralyze it, but he was too big and ended up punching Silver into another tree.
"This isn't good. He keeps absorbing our attacks and throwing them back at us." Silver said.
"We need a new strategy." Blaze said.
"Like what. This isn't like the other monster. Our attacks worked because he couldn't counter them used in a combination. This guy can actually use our powers against us." Knuckles explained.
"Well we need to try to find something he can't counter." Silver said flying up again. "Are you with me?" Blaze and Knuckles nodded at each other.
"Yeah." They answered together.
"Good, then let's do this!" Silver said lifting up some large surrounding boulders. "Look out Shadow; you've got some new competition."
