Knuckles then went off to the Secret Zone
Entrance. The voice greeted him there. "Are you Knuckles,
the keeper of the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds?"
it asked.
"Of course I am!" Knuckles exclaimed.
"Lemme in!"
Knuckles dropped down past where Sonic
had gotten the first Emerald, and landed in the Second Secret
Zone. An extra door was in there.
"You can use the Knuckles Special
Zone," it said.
Knuckles thought a second, then went in
the Knuckles Secret Zone. He was drawn in by a powerful force
he couldn't beat, just like Sonic was. He was on a wood bridge
high over lava. "If you fall off, too bad!" the
voice said.
Knuckles beat the first two parts, and
almost fell off the last part, but he beat that one too. The voice
then asked Knuckles the "now or later" question.
He said he would do one more just to get the hang of it.
So he dropped down again. Knuckles did
another Special Stage, and the outcome was about the same. He
then went home to show the guys.
Eggman, in his place, was watching the
whole thing. "Ah, yes. They're getting all the Emeralds just
like I want. Soon they will be giving them to me in exchange for
this little brat."
Sonine, sitting in her cell with her legs
pressed close to her, was listening to everything Eggman said.
She sat up when she realized what was happening. Oh, no! The
guys are falling right into his trap! I've got to warn them somehow!
she thought.
In two more days, all the Emeralds were
collected. The guys put them all together.
"Okay, now it's time to turn all these
in to Eggman. Who's gonna get 'em there?" Knuckles asked.
"I will." Tails stepped forward
and picked them all up in his arms. "I want to do something.
You all did the Special Stages."
"Okay, little guy, go for it!"
Sonic said.
Tails headed down to the fortress. Once
there, Eggman welcomed him in.
"So you got all 7 Emeralds?"
"Yup. Now let me see Sonine first,
or you're never getting the Emeralds."
"Okay." Eggman took him to the
cells. Sonine looked up. "There's Sonine. Gimme the Emeralds!"
"No, Tails! Don't!" Sonine screamed.
"Nope. Give her here first, or no
go."
"Nope. You give me the Emeralds first.
Or I will kill Sonine."
Tails didn't know what to do then. He just
decided he would give them up. "Here, Eggman," he said.
"Yes! I finally have the Emeralds!
After all this time!"
"Shut up and let Sonine out now."
"Okay." Tails began to walk towards
the cell. Eggman opened the door. Then, Eggman pushed him in and
slammed the door shut. Tails ran up against the wall and then
fell down.
"Hey! I thought we had a deal!"
Sonine shouted.
"I thought you all knew Robotnik more
than that. Since when do I ever keep deals?" Eggman said.
Sonine then looked up, and saw that the steel ceiling was coming
down slowly. Eggman walked off. "Moohahaaa!"
"Tails, wake up!" Sonine shouted,
shaking him. The ceiling continued to come down.
"Wh-what happened?" Tails sat
up and rubbed his head.
"We've gotta get outta here! We're
gonna be crushed!"
"Okay... AAAH!" The ceiling was
close to their heads now. Well Sonine's, anyway; she was taller.
She walked up to the door and put her hands on it. In a second,
the door turned to molten metal.
"Okay, let's get out of here, and
don't touch the metal; it's hot."
They both climbed out, and just as Sonine
started out, the ceiling sped up a lot. Tails got out just in
time to lose a few hairs from his right tail. Then he had to fly
them out through the hole in the "ceiling" in the cell,
since they didn't know where they were.
Meanwhile in the fortress, Eggman was trying
to figure out what to do with the Emeralds next. He set them down
in a case on a nearby table. "It's been so long since I've
ever had the Emeralds that now I don't even know what to do with
em!"
Back outside, Sonine and Tails were trying
to figure out how to get the Emeralds back.
"I think I know my way around the
fortress. So I'll go back in and see if i can find the Emeralds."
Sonine started walking into the fortress.
Tails sat down waiting for Sonine to come
back out. An hour later, she came back.
"Well, I found them. That place is
bigger than I thought."
"Okay, we got them. So we can go home
now."
Once home, Knuckles went back to his island
after thanking the guys for helping him gt the Emeralds back.
But even though they had won there, Sonine still thinks that Eggman
will be able to beat them somehow.
