Sonic Adventure 3

Chapter 10: Master Emerald Restored

Knuckles came out of a sewer. He wiped his sweating forehead as he pulled out a green shard. He put it away and climbed form the hole. He shook, getting rid of the nasty water on his fur.

"It's too bad you have fur to get in your way," said a menacing voice behind him. Knuckles turned to see Chaos, looking at him. "Remember me?"

Knuckles growled, "Of course I do." Then something caught his eye. He saw Chaos, tossing the Master Emerald in his hand. The echidna kept his eyes on the moving emerald.

"I think you know what I want," Chaos muttered. Knuckles stayed silent.

-CHAOS-

"You'll never defeat the God of Destruction!" Chaos yelled, his arms spreading. He started spinning, his arms full of energy. Knuckles jumped to avoid them. He saw that Chaos didn't see him, so Knuckles attacked Chaos.

Chaos shattered, and then he came up once again. Chaos jumped, starting to throw beams at Knuckles. Knuckles dodged the beams, deflecting one. The wandering beam hit chaos, sending him to the ground.

"I won! There! Now hand over the emerald!" Knuckles yelled. Chaos got up.

"You'll never get them!" he sneered. Just then, the emeralds fell from his hand automatically. "NO!"

Knuckles grabbed to pieces, restoring the Master Emerald. Knuckles then left.

Chaos got mad, longing for revenge.

Tails searched for an emerald. "Man! Where can it be?" He asked himself.

He then noticed Eggman with a radio. Tails stealthily approached Eggman and listened to what he was saying.

"So, Metal, you have found all seven Chaos Emeralds?" he asked through the little device.

Tails' ears twitched as his eyes went wide.

"Yes sir. But I have heard that Chaos lost the Master emerald," was heard as Metal's reply.

"Bah! Who needs it? We have the Chaos Emeralds!" Eggman replied. "Meet me back on the ARK! We have something to do there!"

Eggman turned off his radio and him and his walker disappeared.

Tails thought quickly. "I gotta tell Sonic!" He then sped off to find Sonic.

=====

Shadow continued carrying Sonic, who was still unconscious. Tails came running up to him. "Huh?"

"Shadow! Shadow! Eggman has all 7 Chaos Emeralds!" Tails blurted out.

"WHAT!?" Shadow yelled. "But I thought I had...." He looked in his hands to see his emerald, GONE! "AHH! IT'S GONE! QUICK LETS GET TO ARK!"

Tails hadn't seen Shadow yell like that before, so he just tilted his head and said, "Ok."

Tails summoned the Cyclone 2 and they teleported to ARK (how convenient).

=====

Dash paced back and forth on the ARK, pondering about what he's doing is right. He then realized something: Shadow is alive. He was created to replace Shadow, but he is alive. Now he knew what he was doing is wrong.

He walked up to a giant cannon, remembering what Eggman told him: "This is the Eclipse Cannon II, and it will destroy the world when the emeralds are in place."

Dash grabbed the green Chaos Emerald. He gazed into it. His eyes narrowed as he saw Metal Sonic approaching him.

Dash jumped and kicked Metal. Metal's head spun while Dash powered up a Light Speed Dash. Dash hit Metal with incredible force, making him break.

Dash landed as he took his emerald away from the Eclipse Cannon II.

=====

Eggman walked up to the console. He typed some things, but it said that it failed to fire. "What!?" He slammed his fist into the keyboard. Then he saw a socket missing something. The green Chaos Emerald!

"DASH!!!" Eggman shouted. Eggman walked through the corridors and found Dash standing there. "Dash, give me that emerald!" He pointed at the emerald Dash clutched in his hand.

"No!" Dash yelled at Eggman. "You lied to me!" Dash's eyes glowed red.

Eggman grinned. "Who needs it anyway? The BIolizard is alive; and it will destroy the earth itself!"

Dash's eyes narrowed. He then turned on his heel and ran, looking for his father.

=====

Shadow walked down the hallways with Tails. Sonic's eyes started opening.

"Huh? Where are we?" Sonic asked as his eyes cleared from sleepiness.

"On the ARK," Tails said as he looked at Sonic. Sonic got up from Shadow's arms and looked around.

"Can't deny you on that one."

Just then, Dash started running down the hallway. Shadow growled at him, "What do YOU want?!"

Dash panted, "I'm on your side. I was wrong about everything I have done. Eggman betrayed me."

"How can we trust you?" Sonic asked, moving to the front of the group. Dash was just about to speak when a blue clear hand grabbed Dash by the neck.

Dash's eyes moved back to see Chaos had grabbed him. Chaos' Arm came back to him. When Dash was just about to hit Chaos, Chaos kicked Dash's back with his knee. Dash tried to hit Chaos back, but Chaos kicked Dash across the floor. Dash skidded on the floor and he was hurt badly.

Dash stopped at Shadow's feet. Dash looked up at his on his back. "Please.... Father, heeelllppp meee...." Dash groaned weakly.

Shadow's eyes went wide as he stepped back. "What..?"

Chaos turns and disappears before saying, "Pathetic."

Dash opened one eye. "Y-yesss. You are my father, as well, as Sonic, you both are a part of me..." he then passed out.

Sonic stepped toward him, Shadow next to him. "Is he ok?" Sonic asked. Tails knelt next to him and found his pulse.

"Yeah, he just passed out."

Shadow realized that something was wrong. He blinked, and then heard a familiar roar. "The..Biolizard?"

Sonic looked at Tails. He saw Dash's chaos emerald. "Tails, me and Shadow will stop that creep! You take Dash into a safe place to rest!" And at that, Sonic took the emerald and ran to the central control room with Shadow.

Tails picked up Dash and ran to a room.
