Part 3! Ahh… this is fun to write! I'm guessing I'm gonna update everyday if I'm not careful! .
In front of him stood yet another echidna, also female. She looked tough and strong, but she didn't look halfway as mean or tough as Lien-Da did. Sonic, forgetting his usual politeness, said: "Who the hell are you?!" before he could stop himself. The echidna girl looked rather startled.
"I'm Julie-Su. I suppose you've already met Lien-Da?" she asked.
"Yeah. She just barged in and started talking to every one as if she knew them all her life." Sonic sighed. "It was disturbing." He added. Julie-Su stood up. She was smaller than Sonic by about a head, but that didn't stop him from privately thinking she was stronger than him. Suddenly, out of no-where, there was a loud rumble, and a chunk of the Emerald Mountain came flying down. It landed with a deafening THUD. Sonic could feel the vibration surge through his whole body. Julie-Su raised her fists. They looked ready to punch through walls! Then, without any warning, Sonic heard that song again. The mournful and mysterious song he kept on hearing in his dreams. It sounded faint, but Sonic was one hundred per cent sure it was the same one. He felt weary. His eyelids suddenly weighed a ton and Sonic felt himself drift away. He opened his eyes to see several animals, including Lien-Da and Julie-Su, looking down at him. He stood up, his legs still wobbly, and realized it. He had fainted! Sonic! The brave hedgehog who defeated Eggman! The one who collected all the Chaos Emeralds and became Super Sonic! Sonic flushed and started to run. He felt safer as the crowd remained behind him, but that song was still in his thoughts, which covered every free part of his mind right now. What was going on? Why was he hearing that song? First in his dreams and now in real life. Worst of all: why had he fainted when the song started? He hid behind a tree and slumped on the ground, breathing hard. Soon afterwards he heard the familiar sound of Tails' tails whirling, and then he saw Tails himself fly into view.
"Sonic, what---" he started to say as soon as he was sure Sonic could hear him, but Sonic raised his hand and said: "Not now, Tails… please. I'd really like to know myself what had happened back there." Tails got the message and took flight again. A few moments later his helicopter tail sounds were gone. Sonic sat there right until the sun had nearly gone, reliving the last hour of his life. He still came up with no explanation, and his head was starting to throb again, so he stood up and headed home.

Back up at the nearly destroyed Emerald Mountain, the shadow we mentioned earlier, was busy will his plans again. Not knowing really when to start, the shadow started examining a picture of all of the Emeralds. His fingered touched the Master Emerald, filled with greed, but his plan only needed the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. A few well-chosen letters were typed up onto a small computer, and a flashing image of all the Chaos Emeralds and their locations appeared. Even without a light, a large, evil grin could be seen on the shadows face.
