Hi I'm back, sorry for the long wait cause of Christmas and all. Anyway hoped you had a nice Christmas, and to all of you who have been reading and reviewing, I'll give you a Christmas treat.

I draw sonic art and YOU CAN have a picture of your choice, it could be like Shadow dressed as a girl or Sonic pushing Amy off a cliff. All you have to do is write in your review what picture you would like me to draw and your email address and I'll do it, you have until the next chapter is up so if you want that picture that you wanted then do it now.

If you would like to look at my art first before writing then the website should be in one of these chapters, go to fan art and click on Emi.

Bye ^_^



Everyone looked at each other before running to the centre of the noise, when they got to the temple. Knuckles tells the others to stay has he went to the top of the temple, when he got to the top he saw Sonic on his hands and knees in front of a golden statue.



"Sonic what's wrong?" Knuckles asked with confusion.



Knuckles watched Sonic's hand as he slowly pointed to the statue, Knuckles looks at the face of the statue and widen his eyes.



"TAILS? Oh my god, but ho...



"Dark Whirl" Sonic cried out like he was answering his question.



"Sonic I'm.."

"Well that's not going to bring him back to normal!" Sonic yelled as he turned around with tears flying of his face with sparkles. Sonic face was full of rage and sadness.



"It's all yoUR FAULT!" Sonic screamed has he jumped for Knuckles and knocked him down. Knuckles tried to push Sonic off but Sonic's rage is over powering him. Then Knuckles gave up as Sonic lifted his fist up over the red echidna's face. But Sonic never brought it down.



"Punch me then."

"What!?"



"If it will make you feel better, then do it!"



Rouge and the others ran up the stairs and saw Sonic with his fist up over Knuckles. Rouge ran to Sonic and wrapped her arms under Sonic's arms and pulled him off, Sonic didn't fight back against Rouge, and all he did is stare at Knuckles. The others helped Knuckles to his feet and asked what happened; Knuckles pointed to Tails and told them what happened. Sonic kept on staring on the floor, thinking way did he act like that, cause he knows that Tails can look after himself, and Knuckles knows that too. That's way he left him here, plus they all didn't know about the sand demon until the fight.



Sonic lifted his head and looked at Knuckles.



"I'm sorry." He whispered.



Knuckles turn his head around.



"Accepted."



Sonic smiled at Knuckles and Knuckles did the same.



"O.K. now that problem is taken care of, what are we going to do with the other one" Rouge said as she went in between them and pointed to the golden Tails.

"We have to change him back right?" Amy replied in front of the statue.



"Don't worry Cindy-Jo will do it?" Rouge replied while looking at Cindy-Jo with a smirk and her hands on her hips.



"I can't." Cindy replied with her head down.



"Why can't you do it," Amy replied with shock "I mean you stopped him before and those people, who got turned to gold got change back, didn't they?"



"No, we managed to seal the sand demon in a crystal, but we couldn't change them back. Not all the magic in the world can do that."



"You mean," Sonic said sadly has he went to the statue and turned around to face the others "he is stuck like this forever?"



"Yes, unless we destroy the Demon.



Sonic turned back to Tails and said "That's what we will have to do then."



"Hum, guys?" Amy said nervously.



Everyone turned to her.



"What Amy?" Knuckles asked.



"Is the mountain meant to be made of sand?" Amy said pointing to the mountain.



They all looked at the mountain and saw the mountain of sand as the island started to shake. The island was rapidly changing into sand. And it was coming straight towards them.



"Quick let's get off the island before we change to sand to." screamed Cindy-Jo at the top of her lungs.



"Quick let's get to the airplane." Rouged yelled as she waved her arm in the direction of the plane.



"We won't have time. We'll have to jump over the edge." Knuckles yelled over the sound of the rumbling island.



"Say WHAT?" Sonic yelled as he got Tails under his arms.



"I SAID WE'LL HAVE TO JUMP!" Knuckles repeated to Sonic as he grabbed him by the left arm.



"I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME KNUCKLE HEAD, BUT.." Sonic couldn't finish his line cause Knuckles run to the edge, pulling Sonic with him and jumped. Sonic was yelling for his life as they started to full head down to the earth below. He looked behind himself to see Amy who is going feet down, Rouge who's doing the same and Cindy-Jo was going head down right behind him, and sand falling off the edge of the island like a waterfall.



The sand was rapidly coming towards them, and Sonic thought they didn't know it was there.



"WATCH OUT!" Sonic screamed to them. The girls looked behind themselves, but it was to late and the sand wiped them out of view, now it is coming after him and Knuckles.



"KNUCKLE GLIDE!" He yelled to Knuckles who is still holding his arm.



"I CAN'T THERE'S NO WIND TO GLIDE ON!" Knuckles yelled back as loud as he could over the loud noise of the sand.



Then they yelled as the sand got them and brought them into the centre of its fall. Sonic felt Knuckles grip was gone from his arm, but he was trying to get air before he ran out, but before longed he heard a splash as he was now in water with sand still keeping him from getting air. Soon Sonic felt he couldn't fight any more and blacked out.
