Chapter Twenty-One "South Side"
Knuckles was attacking two robots at this moment and was winning even with their ability to copy his punches but they were so distracted by the master emerald they weren't paying enough attention to the fighting.
"STAY AWAY FROM THE MASTER EMERALLLLLDDD!!" Knuckles roared and punched both their heads into the soil.
Out of nowhere Tails and Amy approached Knuckles.
"Knuckles! Have you seen Sonic! Eggman and Shadow are attacking the very ground itself!" Tails shouted.
"Where's Sonic! MLs are everywhere!" Amy shouted.
They both talked at the same time from their shock.
Then they noticed the crushed robots at Knuckles's feet.
"I know and the master emerald is acting strange again too, all these things seem to be happening at once." said Knuckles. "I had a battle with one of those elite guys about an hour ago."
"This is insane! Everything's falling apart! We need Sonic and we need him now!" Tails said sounding in a panic. "What I wouldn't do for the X-tornado right now!"
"We'll have to deal with this without it Tails, now lets get moving." said Amy waving back to Knuckles to follow.
Knuckles shrugged his shoulders he knew he'd have to lug the master emerald all the way there but if there was something wrong with the chaos emeralds he'd be the one to fix the problem.
He pulled the huge green gem over his head and chose to chase after Amy and Tails.
Sonic was not only levitating but striking out at everything he could not able to control himself.
Amy rose to her feet and fell to her knees seeing Sonic like this, Tails ran passed her with a look of concern and fear all at once.
Knuckles held the master emerald back trying to repel another chaos emerald reaction like he'd witnessed with Spike.
Spike was passed out with all his quills stuck up like Super Sonic as Power tried desperately to revive him.
Melody Rex and Jewels could only watch in horror and try to dodge attacks that came close.
Jewels was holding on to Rex for dear life she couldn't walk so he was her only defense.
"Rex!" she said exclaiming the attacks; this was completely unlike Sonic.
Melody tried getting to Power and Spike but Sonic was in the way.
Tails stood blankly looking at Sonic completely unaware of what to do to snap him out of it.
"Sonic! It's Tails!! Remember!!" Tails tried yelling over the volume of the crashes and thrown trees.
Knuckles looked at Sonic then at Spike, he didn't know why Spike was super and still asleep.
"Are the chaos emeralds somewhere around here!" Knuckles yelled trying to get answers from somebody.
But there wasn't anything any of them could do, however Knuckles's question was answered as the chaos emeralds had appeared in plain sight brightly as daylight but coming in lightning.
Amy kept repeating herself. "Sonic no…"
The chaos emeralds were reacting worse then ever; shots came out from each one and out of the blue Angie was there with them along with Mint and Gizmo like they were chaos controlled without warning, and Shadow himself showed up without so much as the beginning of the word chaos control…
