A/N:I really can't beleive it. You go to New York for a week to celebrate Independance Day, and FFN goes back down. Sure, authors have less stress, considering no one expects to have updates, but it's still annoying.

Disclaimer: Do I look like Yuji Naka or Akira Toriyama? Excactly.

Claimer: Sondow. The guessing contest is still on, considering no one guessed right. But I'll leave a hint this time! Look closly at BOTH halves of Sondow's name.

Time: From this point on, I'll put the time in scenarios, just like Sega did for SA2 and SA2B

The Red Mountain was always known for being a hard place to climb, let alone at night.

Then again, the people who say this have no spikes in their fists.

Knuckles carefully crawled up one of the several plateaus,following the emerald's signal.

He stopped halfway up, digging into the side, and pulled it out, it's golden glow illuminating the dark mountain.

{10 points to me.} He thought.

Tails's idea to make the search go faster was to give points for finding emeralds.

Despite their egos and love of bragging rights, Knuckles and Rouge originally said no.

But then Tails made an offer they couldn't refuse."Whoever collects the most, keeps them."

Not wanting to see the emeralds on Rouge's trophy shelf, where the memory of failure would haunt him forever, Knuckles readily agreed.

As he flew back to the Shrine, he smirked as he thought that he had already found one 13 minutes into the game.
***************************************************************
Time:6:48

Rouge flew threw the catacombs of the Mystic Ruins, carefully holding both of her emeralds as she went.

True, her old connections to the military helped, but she was still collecting most of the emeralds on her own.

She chuckled as she exited the ruins, knowing she had only four more to go.

Winning this contest would be easy.
***************************************************************

Time:6:51

Tails looked happily at his newest invention, which he dubbed the Chaos Radar.

It was designed to detect the highest possible sources of power, so the emeralds would be easy to find.

Not wanting to waste a second, he flew to the other side of the station-side valley to test it.

Sure enough, there were three little blips on the screen, each one for the emeralds he had.

Of course, one of those emeralds was a fake, and the other one was given to him by the city, and the last was found by Chadow, Amy's pet chao, on one of his little attempts at running away from the over-glomping female hedgehog.

Still, 30 points to him.

He hopped in the Cyclone, inserted the fake into the power absorber{no pathetic gas tanks on this baby!} and flew off toward Angel Island.
***************************************************************
Time:6:50

Knuckles thanked god he was still alive, the last emerald was kept at a college for politicians and attornies.

Carrying his three emeralds, and chuckling at his luck[as soon as they started to chase him, an ambulance drove by] he started the journey back home.

He didn't know what was gonna happen next, though.

They still only had six emeralds, and even with Tails's copy, their plan could fail greatly.

Their plan was to have Amy, Tikal, and Rouge attain super forms through the emeralds, then all try and teleport to wherever Sonic was.

The main idea was to do this when the island was over the ocean, have Chaos absorb the emeralds energy at the same time they did, then, holding their breath, ride inside him when he Chaos Controlled.

Of course, this all depended on whether or not the girls could go super.

Knuckles frowned as he saw the island dead ahead.

One way or another, this would end sometime soon.
***************************************************************
Time:7:00

Sonic watched in amazement as Gohan landed back down emerald in tow.

To grateful to ask questions, Sonic simply accepted it.

"Thanks! I really didn't think it was still gonna be there!"

"I know." Gohan said, still shivering slightly."Where did you get that thing anyway?"

"My best friend Tails had it, but I needed it's power to win a fight, so I used it."

"Oh. Okay, I guess, but did you say that you teleported into space?"

"STOP ASKING QUESTIONS, GOHAN!" Chichi yelled, probably waking up some birds on Dende's Lookout."He's still tired! LET HIM REST!"

"Really, I don't mi-" Sonic started, but stopped when he saw the look in Chichi's eyes.

"Y..yeah! I'm still tired! *yawwwwwwwwwwwn!* I think I should go rest some more!"

{He sure learns fast} Both Goten and Gohan thought, eying their mother's finger, which was currently fingering a frying pan. Or, as they liked to call it, the utensil from heck.

***************************************************************
Time: 7:02

"Did you feel that?" Piccolo asked Dende, as several birds were scared away.

"Yeah, Gohan got Chichi angry again, plus that new guy, Sonic." The G.O.T.E.
answered his protector.[A/N: After all, Piccolo has Nail inside him!]

"I really don't know what to make of that one. He has a really high power level for ...ah.... whatever he is. But I sense something even stronger inside of him." Piccolo said.

"Yeah, but it feels like he has a pure heart,"Dende said back," And I also get this incredible sense of responsibility from him, the kind I usually only get around the Sons."

"In other words, he's probably the savior of some world." Piccolo said.

"Yep." Dende answered simply, while Mr. Popo rushed to stop his birds from flying away.

"I don't know why he does that." Piccolo said."As soon as some evil tyrant appears, he'll just have to capture them again."

"It beats serving 8 course meals of WATER, I guess." Dende said as he returned to watching a bullfight in Mexico that would determine the fate of 1 billion zenny. [A/N: The advanteges of being a guardian of the Earth: no need for TV, you see everything! Disadvanteges: You see EVERYTHING.]

Time:Doesn't exist/Infinity


"I must admit that was brilliant." King Kai said to his newest student."Pinning him down with an energy attack first, how original!"

"Thanks." Shadow said, letting go of both Bubbles and the concentration of holding the Chaos Spears.

"Now for your next test! GREEEEEEEEGGGGGGGORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

Shadow covered his ears.

When he uncovered them, he looked up to see Gregory floating above him.

"You may have caught Bubbles in less than an hour, but that's nuthin'!"The cocky grasshopper said."Just try and catch me!"

Picking up the hammer, then falling down, Shadow continued his training.

{ Just imagine you're playing that Wack- a- Sonic game the Doctor mentioned.} Shadow thought to himself, as he struggled to get up.

After that thought, Shadow was moving faster than ever.

"COME BACK HERE FAKER!" Shadow yelled in the chase."FEEL MY ULTIMATE WRATH!"

King Kai started laughing his head off, this guy was funnier than Goku without trying.

And through Gregory's screams, Goku faintly wondered what was for dinner, then dessert, then after-dessert snack, then.....................

***************************************************************
Time: 9:45

Over the next few days, Sonic recovered quickly. And grew more amazed at the things that Gohan and Goten could do.

He loved to hear their stories about the things that had happened, and Chichi's chili dogs were worth killing over.

But the most interesting thing happened the next Saturday, when Gohan trained.

Sonic watched in amazement beside Goten. If Gohan had been there all those years ago, Eggman would have been even more of a laughing stock.

He had been trying to do some enrgy attacks besides his Sonic Wind since he got there, but he was probably still to hurt.

I mean, both his legs still had casts!

Sonic eyes went wide open as Gohan's hair turned gold, and he was surrounded by a golden aura.

"B..But how!?"

"Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you about Super Saiyans." Gohan said nonchalantly.[A/N: I've spent WAAAAAY to much time looking up words.]

After explaining it to Sonic, Gohan noticed that he appeared to be thinking of something

"Hmm, the power of your worst memories."
***************************************************************
"Hmm, the power of your worst memories." Shadow mumbled at the same time as Sonic.

Both hedgehog's knew what to do, all both senior Son's present looked in wonder, both little monkeys were happy for no reason at all.

Then it happened.

Both hedgehogs were surrounded by glowing light.

In a flash, both were golden furred, Sonic's eyes and quills matching Shadow's.
***************************************************************
9:55

Gohan just stood their with his mouth wide open.

"Gohan, does this mean Sonic's a Saiyan?"Goten asked."I mean, if he can go all glowy like you, doesn't that make him one?"

Gohan's mouth closed considerably as Sonic explained that he had often used the Chaos Emerlads to go super.

"And now I can do it a t will! This is so cool!" Sonic said ecstatically.

Gohan blinked.

"Come to think of it, you haven't told us the adventures you've had. Wh-"

"GOHAN! GOTEN! SONIC! TIME FOR LUNCH!"

And all three ran off at equal speeds, ready to eat before anything else.
***************************************************************
Metal Sonic, or as he was now know, Metaru, prowled the confines of his new home.

Babidi, the person who had ressurected him, and gave him a real body, thought he controlled him.

Metaru smirked. Babidi would soon learn otherwise. Still, Metaru would wait a while.

He wanted to see what other challenges waited ahead, before returning to his own dimension.

Free.

***************************************************************
A/N:Okay, next chapter gets a little more interesting. As Tails develops his own attack, Rouge, Amy, and Tikal try to go super. As the DBZ dimension progresses,[Poor Gohan. The last thing he needs is Sonic helping him with his social life.} Babidi's plan continues, and both Gohan and Sonic get a great surprise: People very important to them are coming back for a day! It's picking up speed, next Chaos Emerald Z,.... I mean, Of Dragons and Hedgehogs!
