Book Two: Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Question of Trust: Part 2
Samantha: Okay, I think you'll be needing these...
Sasha: You again!
Knuckles: What do you want this time?!
Sinji: Calm down, we're not here to fight...
Amy: Then what do you want?
Samantha: As I said, to give you these...
She held out the Miracle Gems Sonic and the others didn't have yet.
Sonic: How do we know that this isn't a trick?
Sinji: First of all, you need them more than us...
Samantha: And second...
She threw the Miracle Gems up in the air. Shadow flew up and caught them so they wouldn't break.
Samantha: They don't even work...
As soon as Shadow was about to land, the Miracle Gems began to glow. Shadow began to absorb all the power at once.
Shockwaves of energy were flying out the instant they formed. A huge ball of energy formed and expanded around Shadow.
Amy: Shadow! Stop!
Knuckles: We have to get them away from him somehow!
Sonic jumped up into the air and was trying to pull the Miracle Gems away from Shadow.
Shadow: Sonic... don't... I can't let go of them anyways...
Knuckles jumped up and pulled Sonic away from the Gems that began to burn his hands.
Knuckles: You okay buddy?
Sonic: The burn marks...they don't hurt...
This was odd, because there was still smoke coming out of the burns. Suddenly, the energy stopped flowing out and it returned to Shadow. He floated to the ground safely, and landed on his feet. There was electricity flowing through his wings, and red marks in the palms on his hands. The marks didn't even hurt when they appeared.
Cosmo: Is everyone okay?
Cream: I think so...
Sonic: Shadow, you alright?
Shadow quietly: Yeah... what's happening?
He teleported away. Sonic stood there in deep thought.
Sinji: Sam, you know what happened?
Samantha: My guess is that he absorbed the power inside the Miracle Gems...but even I won't know what will happen now...
