~~~~~ROLM
It was the dream again. The same dream that I have had every night for the last couple of months. I am running through the streets of a city, my family behind me. Suddenly I hear gunfire, and I turn around to see my family fall, one by one. My mother, my father, and even my brother all fall, dead. Something in my brain pops. I go berserk, and all I want to do is crush all the robots in the city. Little did I realize it, but the Chaos Emerald absorbed my anger. My gray Chaos Emerald. A bright light flashed, and all the robots fell, deactivated and broken. I was panting, the amount of effort it had taken me to do what I just did made my sight blurry, and all I could see before I fell unconscious was a surprisingly fast green hedgehog heading towards me...
Suddenly I woke up. I didn't remember where I was or what had happened at first, but I suddenly recognized the place I was in as Tails' house. But why was I here? I struggled to think as I got up off of the bed I was in. I looked around. My Chaos Emeralds were no where in sight.
All in one second, I was back to normal; the power of the gray Chaos Emerald was no longer controlling me. I felt so happy, like I was locked up inside my own mind but was finally let free. I walked out of the bedroom and saw Tails and Sonic cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Had a whole day really passed? It doesn't matter, because now I'm FREE!
"Tails! Sonic!" I greeted them.
They turned around almost instantly to see whether or not I was going to attack them.
"Guys," I said. "I need to talk to you about something."
"You have got a lot of talking to do," Garion spoke up from the doorway of the other bedroom.
"Garion! It wasn't my fault, honest! I didn't try and fight you back there, it was the gray Chaos Emerald!"
"What? Why do you say that?"
"Well, as soon as I used it on purpose that first time when we were training a week ago, I have been feeling really weird," I said.
"Weird?"
"Yeah, weird. I started to feel like I knew where the emeralds were and other things that I normally shouldn't have. I started to feel like I had some sort of duty to complete. I began writing down exactly what I felt and what time it happened, but I never could seem to give you the notebook that I wrote it all in." I handed him the notebook. "See? I couldn't do that before. I... Just couldn't. Like I was being restrained or something."
He thumbed through the notebook, glancing at each page. "Very strange," he said.
"What do you think is wrong with the gray emerald?" Tails asked me.
"Well, I am not sure, but something is definitely different about it. Whenever I use it I feel... funny."
"I'm not sure what to believe right now, Rolm. That story of yours sounds pretty farfetched, but I always believed everything you said before this all happened," Garion stated.
"I know a way that we could find out for sure," Sonic said. "Knuckles! He knows a lot about Chaos Emeralds, maybe he could take a look at it and see if there is anything peculiar about it."
"Great idea, Sonic! I'll go get my plane warmed up," Tails said as he raced out the door.
"Well, what are we going to do with the Chaos Emeralds that we have?" I asked.
"We'll return the ones you stole in time," Garion replied. "But for right now I think it's best that they stay with us, at least until we can find out what the heck is going on. Oh wait, that reminds me, I have to show you how to use the Chaos Emeralds, don't I?" Garion asked Sonic.
"No, don't! I don't think anyone should use the emeralds until we talk with Knuckles. You guys don't have any IDEA what I went through when that thing took over my mind," I said.
"No, maybe not," Garion responded. "But I DO know what it feels like to get sucker-punched by a giant robot," he said as he held his chest.
"Sorry for everything, guys," I stated sincerely.
"Alright, the plane is ready!" Tails exclaimed as he came back in through the door. "Why does everyone look so depressed?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Sonic said. "Now let's go talk to Knuckles."
