Part 29 - The last emerald

-Third person point of view -

"I-... I think I have the emerald" A silent pause entered the house as Grayson's voice reached a hitch, almost like he was choking on his own words. Speaking up, Scatt tried to keep a moderate tone as he then talked into the cell phone.
"You do realize that jokes are not taken lightly about these gems"
"But I'm not joking ! I really think I have this emerald your speaking of !"
"In that case we'll meet you there, what room will you be in ?"
"Well actually I'm being rolled out by Shadow as we're speaking.. We'll be in the waiting room where you'll find me in a wheelchair"
"Alright then we'll be over soon" Hanging up everyone looked at each other and knew what had to be done.

Sonic's POV

"Aright the girls stay here where it's safe, me, Scatt and Silver we'll go find Grayson and Shadow"
"Not so fast ! There's no way your going anywhere like that" Blaze pointed out to Silver's cum stained fur from last night that seem to be sticking up all strange and funny like a cockatoo.
"Ohh y-yeah " Silver sweated slightly as he gave a soft chuckle.
"I'll have close ready for you after your shower" Rosebella smiled and showed him to the shower. I smiled seeing him for that brief second but pitied his absence after he left the room 'I'm miss you Silver but I have a mission now, and a goal to aim for... With this new power... I can change the world...'.

30 minutes had passed and me and Scatt made it to the hospital to see just as Grayson said in the waiting room, a wheelchair and all. Although Shadow on the other hand had bandages wrapped all around his chest and belly down to his back and shoulders and around again.
"Well if it isn't faker" Shadow scuffed folding his arms over his chest.
"Faker, since when did that happen Shadzy ?"
"Hehe, yeah Shadzy" I chuckled to myself thinking how feminine that made Shadow sound. He didn't seem to like that as he growled at me with his fangs showing 'ohhh I'm so scared ! NOT ! nice try Shadow but your no big bad wolf'.
"Ohh never mind that ! Grayson you said you had the last emerald, so where is it ?"
"Right here I think" He said pointing to the hand his ring was on.
"Grayson I thought you said that the gem in that was a diamond though ?"
"I know blue boy but I've been thinking for some time now and I've noticed that my gem is nothing like the diamonds I've seen before and you would know that being I work at a jewelry store" Grayson told me which made sence although it also made things more complexed. If I were to get all seven, I think it would be harder taking Grayson's seeing how much it means to him after his lover died trying to give it to him.
"Umm... That can't be... Chaos emeralds are much bigger then that .. I should know"
"But I know this has to be one... If what you say fits than I know the killers motives weren't that he killed him for the fun of it.." He teared up as he slowly removed his ring which sparkled ever since the word "chaos emerald" was spoken. Scatt just frowned at the poor coyote and did as told, taking a look over the ring with the glowing gem.
"Strange.." He spoke up now taking something out of his pocket that looked to be a normal cell phone but I'm guessing not that normal after all his watch looked to be a normal watch too. Opening the phone he took a picture of the gem then waited till a voice message appeared on the screen.
"Data confirmed, %100 chaos energy" said the female sounding robotic voice from the phone. A look of shock filled Scatts face with mixed confusion as to how this could be but I guess we all make mistakes every once in a while.
"How could it be this small... Could it be that the emerald was shrunk to get it out of the wrong hands.." He thought out loud as he then took the ring away from Grayson's hands.
"Ahhh..." Grayson aked feeling his sore body as his metal foot started twitching on its own, making a squeaky metal like sound.
"Graygray whats wrong ?" Shadow spoke up looking over the suffering coyote. Scatt seems to notice as he then gave the ring back to Grayson, somehow making the twitching go away along with the new found pain Grayson felt.
"The gem must be preventing the robotic parts from acting out of control, there for also slowing or softening the pain in your body, who knows it could be the only thing keeping you alive" Scatt spoke making the rest of us look up with question and shock 'So the gem does have power after all.. and that's just one gem, just wait till all seven..'.
"This could be a problem though.."
"Huh ? How come ?" I asked him a bit confused.
"If this emerald is taken from him, he'll lose control of his parts and his body will break down not being able to take it"
"Ohhh if that's the case what can we do !"
"...My son..."
"Huh ?" I raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Miles... My son Miles is a genius, if we bring your friend to him so he can look at the gem there may be a chance after all..."
"A chance for what !"
"To make a fake emerald..."
