The three girls traveled over to the Chao island, and landed outside. Cream pushed a little button and the Tornado went into the stealth mode, where it takes on the appearance of its surroundings, so it as good as invisible. Little chao voices were heard from the chao kindergarten. Amy and Rouge walked through the portal to the Hero Garden and whistled for their chao. Rouge's chao came running, as did Amy's.

"Hello Ruby!" Rouge petted her chao on its head coming when called. Her chao was red with peacock feathers. Amy's chao tripped on the way.

"You need to be more careful, Rose." Amy told her pale pink chao. She started talking to it and cuddling it until Cream reminded everyone why they had come, to hide the forth crystal shard.

"Oh, that's right. HUNTER!" Amy called out, and another red chao came up, and jumped up and down excitedly.

"Hunter?" Rouge asked questioningly.

"Yea, its Knuckles chao. Hunter, I need you to hide this from everyone, ok?" Amy held up the crystal to the chao.

"Amy, the other chao will notice…" Rouge started.

"K, Rose, do the go-go dance! Echo, start the maracas!" A little blue chao had run over very quickly, named Echo and grabbed some maracas and started a little tune. The remaining chao in the garden saw the little maracas and the dance and decided to join in. Some even took out a tambourine. Unnoticed to the other chao, Hunter hid the crystal shard.

"We should get going…" Amy said, watching her chao fondly.

The girls boarded the Tornado and as they were leaving, Cream said:

"Shouldn't we check on Mr. Shadow?"

"Sure, why not?" Amy replied, and they sped off toward the hospital.

They walked into the lobby and asked the nurse about the black hedgehog.

"Oh yes, room 55B, fifth floor, take the elevator on the east side of this room."

Amy, Cream, and Rouge walked down the hallways and finally found the room. They walked inside to a room full of IV tubes and a small hanging T.V. They looked at the small lump on the bed.

"Shadow? You awake?" Rouge asked. When there was no response, she walked closer to the bed, and what she saw…

"AHHHHHH!"
