Last time on Dragon... Hmm, seem to be stuck on that show. Anyways, last time on Lord of the Emeralds: Friendship of the Emerald, the Friendship took to the mountains to escape Eggman's nosiness and ended up being the victims of disasters created by Dr. Eggman's SimCity game!

"Oh no, were all dooooooooooooooooom!" Sonic yelled in a flashback scene.

"Wait a minute..." Shadow cut in. "He never said that!"

"He didn't?" I asked.

"No, all he did was make the decision where to go instead of these mountains." Shadow explained.

"Which would be???" There was a pause... ----See?

"Hidden Palace of Maria!!" Shadow yelled.

"Ahem, it's Moria." Charmy came up.

"Look, you'd think I'd remember... I'm the author of this fic slash story." I explained.

"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Shadow the Hedgehog!" We began shaking hands.

"And I'm Charmy!" I shook his hand too.

"Wait a minute, I already know you two!" I yelled.

"How?" Shadow asked suspiciously.

"I played Sonic Adventure 2, duh!"

"Oooooo... My lawyer is so fired!" Shadow mumbled.

"What about me?" Charmy asked.

"Web site... Sorry..." I answered.

"Damn!"

"Look we need to get back on track. I need to tell everyone what happened last time."

"Why? They should remember just fine..." Shadow snapped.

"Yes, but it's important to remind what happened previously..." Charmy spoke up.

"Okay, how about this, if you don't remember what happened last time, just read the previous chapter." I suggested.

"Good, because I forgot anyways!" Charmy stomped off.

"You leave too, Shadow..." I said. "I'm going to make this short." Shadow wandered off and I turn to you. "Last time on Lord of the Emeralds: Friendship of the Emeralds. Don't know? Read the previous chapter! Muahahahahahaha!!! Man I'm funny..."

The Friendship had redirected their entire trip to get to Hidden Palace Zone of Moria. It was dark and the sky was partly cloudy with a 15% chance of rain... They approached a wall of rock that seemed to go on endlessly. Of course it did end because we can still use cars to get around it.

"Behold..." Charmy said dramatically. "The walls of the Hidden Palace Zone of Moria."

"Did you say Maria?" Tails asked.

"Moria! With an O!" Charmy said.

"Ohh..." Tails went back to walking along the lakeside. Shadow stopped at a wall and started observing the marking on the wall.

"Moonlight... Ice cream..." Shadow mumbled. "Telephone Wires... Light Bulbs..."

"Shadow what are you mumbling?" Tails asked.

"Things I need to buy for my house after this little adventure is over."

"But you said moonlight." Knuckles pointed out.

"I can get that off the black market..." Shadow explained. "This is the door..." Shadow back away. He turned around to the moon, which then came from behind the clouds. Nothing happened.

"Over here!!!" Espio yelled from down the path. Everyone journeyed to his position to see a door that looked like it was drawn with a crayon.

"Ahh, there it is!" Shadow said. "I could never find the exact location..."

"What does that say up there?" Sonic asked. There were letters written in Spanish over the arc of the door.

"It reads, 'The doors to the Hidden Palace Zone of Moria! Speak 'friend' and enter!'" Shadow explained. "Actually I don't know what it says. I saw that on a movie once..." Everyone sweatdropped.

"Then how do we get in?" Berry asked.

"There's a password. Watch!" Shadow began speaking words that kinda, sorta resembled the Spanish language. After he had finished, the doors had still not opened. "Okay, let's try to break it down!" Shadow said quickly.

(Later...)
Everyone was holding Knuckles in mid-air. He had his arms stretched forward and his fists tightened. They ran forward and rammed the door with Knuckles' fists.

"This isn't working!" Shadow said. Everyone dropped Knuckles on the ground and went to rest.

"Ouch! My knuckles hurt..." Knuckles wined. Pepper was throwing rocks in the water.

"That was weak!" Berry said. He threw a rock as well and it went farther than Pepper's. Pepper went to throw another one, but Knuckles seized his hand.

"Don't disturb the water. Big watery, monster... thingies will get you..." Knuckles warned.

"Watch mine!" Sonic said. He picked up a builder and tossed it farther than Pepper's and Berry's. It hit and the splash created a title wave.

"Oops..." Sonic said. Everyone dropped everything that they were doing and tried to climb up the vertical wall, but there was nothing to grab a hold of. Then they were washed up.

The water settled and everyone lay there. Shadow spit out some water like a little fountain and got to his feet.

"Will you stop messing around?" He yelled. Sonic was the only other person standing. He was at the door this time.

"Hey look at this!" Sonic yelled. The Spanish words above the door swirled and changed into English. "Just add water," it said. Sonic said as he grabbed a door handle that appeared on the door. He turned it and the doors opened up. Everyone began to rise and make their way inside.

Knuckles noticed something in the water. The Jaws music began to play... Something slithered across the surface of the water, dipping in and out. It looked smooth and slimy.

"Guys look!" Everyone stopped and looked at the water. The creature slithered across the surface and disappeared under the water again.

"What is that thing?" Berry asked. It got closer to the shore. Closer, closer, and closer... Okay, maybe not that close. Knuckles, Vector, Espio, and Charmy readied themselves to fight. It reached the shore and out popped Pepper.

"Hello all!" Pepper yelled. Sonic screamed like a little girl and jumped into Shadow's arms.

"What the hell is that thing?" Sonic shrieked. Shadow dropped him.

"It's only Pepper..." Shadow shook his head and started for the door. Everyone followed behind him into the Hidden Palace Zone of Moria.

Inside was dark... really dark... So dark that, um, you couldn't read this story if it was on paper.

"You guys wait, this place is so easy to get through..." Charmy spoke.

"Oops..." Sonic voice echoed. CRASH! "Don't worry about me! I'm fine; don't know where all that glass came from though.

"Where's a light when you need one..." Knuckles complained.

"Working on it..." Shadow voice yelled back. FLICK! Light came pouring from the ceiling. Everyone looked up to see a whole light system installed.

"Cool..." Tails muttered.

"Looks like a mine..." Espio said. At that very instant, you would think they would see dead bodies decaying and staring at them. Well, that's where you're wrong!

"This is no mine! It is a tomb!" Vector said dramatically.

"What makes you say that?" Tails asked.

"Look!" Vector pointed down the hall. Lara Croft was sneaking down the hall with here pistols drawn.

"I think we should leave..." Shadow said.

"Yeah, I've played one of her games... Some of that stuff is scary..." Tails said.

"Wuss..." Vector muttered. Everyone piled outside the Hidden Palace Zone of Moria.

"What do we do now?" Espio asked.

"Hey guys..." I was standing before them. Yeah! That's me, baby!

"It's the author..." Tails said.

"Whatya guys doing?" I asked.

"Who wants to know?" Sonic snapped, shaking his fist.

"Just ignore him..." Shadow pushed him back by his face.

"What are you doing here?" Knuckles spoke up.

"Well, sadly to say. I could not think of a monster or type of boss for you to fight during this chapter..." I explained. "Because Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't have that many characters, I had to make a difficult decision, which is why it took me so long to write this chapter."

"Hey! What are you trying to say?" Sonic yelled from the back. Knuckles picked up a large rock and through it over his shoulder. It flew back behind everyone. "Oww! My head!"

"So... um, what was this, difficult decision, that, uh, you had to make, Mr. Author, sir?" Berry asked.

"Instead of fighting a monster or some boss..." I continued. "You have to fight me, DBZ style!"

"Gasp!" Everyone gasped.

"Alright!!!" Knuckles and Shadow said. Just then, I turned Super Saiyan. Shadow and Knuckles turned super as well. A grin appeared on my face and light erupted around him. In a brilliant flash, he changed to Super Saiyan 2. "Uh, oh!"

"Let's dance..." I said. A pebble slipped off a mountain and made a light smack when it hit the ground; the signal to start the match had been heard. Knuckles, Shadow and I jumped in the air and disappeared. Everyone was watching the fight except Sonic who was trying to turn super himself.

"I can do this..." Sonic began to try. His eyes shut tight, his body flexed and tensed up, but still nothing. "Damn..."

The fight was fast. The fight was furious. The fight was fast and furious, but still did not have anything to do with the movie... and I'm winning too. Knuckles and Shadow fighting me from two directions, but still they could not match the speed and strength. I slipped through their every punch and kick. I timed it right flew out from between them quickly, causing Shadow to kick Knuckles in the stomach and Knuckles to punch Shadow in the face.

"Oww! That was my gut you twit!" Knuckles yelled.

"Shut up... You got me in the face..." Shadow said. His eyes were pushed back in his head from Knuckles claws.

"Oops..." Knuckles smacked the back of Shadow's head and his eyes popped back to normal.

"You guys are weak..." I said, floating just above them with my arms crossed. Shadow charged up an energy ball and threw it at me. I moved out of the way to let it pass. Suddenly, Knuckles fists came crashing down on my head. I feel downward and smashed into the ground. I looked up to see Shadow and Knuckles land back to back holding one of their arms out towards me. Knuckles hand hover over Shadow's and together they created an energy wave and shot it towards me. I flew up and dodged it. The wave hit the mountainside and blew up. I pulled my hands back and yelled:

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." Knuckles did the same and Shadow ran away and told everyone to take cover.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." We both said. A ball of energy had formed in between our hands, glowing intensely.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" The waves were shot towards each other. Mine went straight towards Knuckles and his went off to the right. The Kamehameha Wave hit Knuckles and exploded. As the dust cleared, Knuckles stood there charred black.

"Ouch..." He fell to dust.

"I can't believe he missed..." The annoyed Shadow said. "Now, it's my turn." He disappeared before everyone. I looked around, but could not find him.

"Look, he's up there!" Tails yelled, pointing in the sky. I looked up to see Shadow floating right above me.

"TAILS YOU IDIOT!!!" Shadow yelled. "I WAS GOING FOR A SNEAK ATTACK!!!"

"Oops..." Tails said, covering his mouth.

"Oh, well... Try this!" Shadow started shooting numerous amounts of energy balls at me, moving his arms very quickly. Each one exploded on the impact as I dodge each one, making my way towards the Friendship. I dashed passed each of them, causing them to be caught in the blast. Shadow stopped after he seemed to have figured out what I was doing. The Friendship was all toasted and smoky. Everyone was there except Sonic. I began to look for him, but Shadow caught me off guard, kicking me in the back. I reach around with my left hand and grabbed him by the next. I moved him to the front of me while he tried to break free. I slapped him in the face repeatedly as I said:

"Bad...Sha...dow...kick...ing...me...in...the...back..." I stopped and dropped him. He lay there on the ground, twitching slightly. "Sorry, kinda got carried away..." He got to his feet, barely able to stand. Suddenly, a shocked look came on his face. Then a small rock hit me in the back of the head. I fell to the ground, out cold. Sonic now stood in front of Shadow in the third form of super. His gold blades were so long that they hang down to his feet.

"Did you need help?" Sonic said with a grin.

"Whoa..." Shadow said. The rest of the Friendship came up and watched in admiration.

"How did you do that Sonic?" Tails asked.

"It's just a gift..." Sonic said, rubbing his knuckles against his chest. Suddenly, he changed back to normal. "Ah! What happened? I was so cool in that from!" Sonic wined.

"Come on, let us go before Sonic86 wakes up!" Espio said. They ran into the Hidden Palace Zone of Moria.

"Wait!" Shadow stopped in front. "We didn't want to come in here, remember?" Everyone thought for a second.

"Oh, yeeaaaah..." Everyone said together. They turned around to go back, but saw me standing at the entrance.

"Sorry guys, you have to take this way." I formed a ball of energy and slammed it into the roof above the door. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" I left as the cave shook furiously.

"No, I'm claustrophobic and afraid of the dark." Tails said as he started running into the falling debris.

"Come back here Tails!" Knuckles said as he grabbed Tails by the tails and started dragging him back into the cave.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The entrance became blocked and the cave in settled. The Friendship was now left in the dark...

"I'm scared..." Tails muttered.
