Trust is the Key
The figure immerged from the shadows within, and was much like there friend. "No-o, it can't be!" Knuckles spoke with fear in his voice. "Who are you?" Standing in front of them, was a twined tailed fox, almost exactly the same as Tails. He had a grey body, with dark green tails, ears and legs. His eyes were a dark shade of purple and his mouth was black. On his left cheek remained a three lined scar, the only thing making Tails and him different. "My name is..." he spoke, "My name is Kero, and I come requesting your help. The world is in danger, for the Chaos Emeralds are unstable. Sonic cannot turn into his super form, for the power of all 7 at the moment match's to the power of 1. You of course will be weary to hand over the Chaos Emeralds to I, a stranger, but I promise you that what I will do will change everything." Kero came to stop, and couldn't help but look at Knuckles. Knuckles was using his most fierce face of all. "I'm sorry Kero but...I don't even trust the Emeralds wit Sonic." Everybody sweat dropped at Knuckles' remark. "KNUCKLES!" everybody chanted at him. But Knuckles wasn't going to change his mind. "No! It is the job of Quara and I to keep the Emeralds in order, here at Angel Island." Knuckles kept going on and nobody was really listening. Perfect! Thought Quara in her head. My chance to get the Emeralds! Quara snuck off and entered the Emerald Chamber. She moved up to the Master Emerald and went to grab it, when something unremarkable happened. Quara was being sucked into the darkness of the Emerald. She screamed and screamed for help, but it was no use. In no time at all, Quara was just another being in the family of the Darkness of the Master Emerald...
The ground shook. The trees fell. Everything was happening in slow motion. Suddenly, Rouge broke into a run, heading toward the center of Angel Island. An earthquake shook and everything stood still. Except for Rouge. Rouge continued running, faster than she had ever done before. Her pocket was a glowing dark black, and was getting stronger the closer she got to the centre. She reached the center of the Island, and the entrance to the Emerald Chamber was closing in. With extreme agility, she threw the Egg Emeralds into the chamber, just as the chamber was about to close in. They landed directly in front of the Chaos Emeralds, and everything stopped. Time stood still for that exact moment, and then, everything was normal again. The trees were swaying, the birds were chirping, everything was normal; except Knuckles. "Ro-ouge" he managed to blotter out. "I-I'm sorry. For everything. For dumping you, trusting in Quara and most of all, doubting you." Rouge was at the verge of tears. "Knuckles, is that really all true?" she said. "Yes. All of it." Knuckles replied. At that point, trust was rebuilt and the urge to defeat Eggman had risen again. Rouge and Knuckles ran into each others arms, and Shadow, Kero and Sonic took the Chaos Emeralds and Chaos Warped away.
"Well, it takes a lot to scare me, but I really thought the world was going to end." Shadow was shocked at what had just happened. "Kero, I think that happened because of the disturbance with the Emeralds." Sonic theorized with Kero. "The two pairs of Emeralds must have created a bond, but by taking the Chaos Emeralds away, this bond isn't broken." Kero replied "Yes, because by leaving the Egg Emeralds at the center of Angel Island, the bond attaches to the Master Emeralds." Shadow added his thoughts. "Right! So when Quara was sucked into the Master Emeralds, this 'bond' formed, and that disturbance began! Alright! We got it!" All 3 of them hi-fived, and then discussed their next mission; figure out how to stop Eggman and bring Tails back...
Kero began to explain the plan to Sonic and Shadow. "Ok Sonic, now that we have the Chaos Emeralds, we can begin the 1st phase. Firstly, I can tell you that you might not have to go super, which is good. However, you guys are going to have to let me take 1 of them; no more, no less. I will need it for this phase, breaking in. The bad thing is that that Emerald might be lost. Now, I said SONIC wasn't going to have to go super." He paused and looked at Shadow. "Alright! I haven't gone super since the attack on the Biolizard!" Shadow was pleased, but Sonic was cut. "No way!" he said. "I am WAY stronger than him at the super form!" Shadow wasn't pleased at what had just been said. In no less than a second, they were at each other, neck and neck. Kero broke in and stopped them "Break it up you two! This is no time to be fighting!" They both calmed down. "It's settled, that Shadow will go super!" "Whatever..." Sonic said cutly. "That's cool." Shadow said mockingly. And with that, the heroes were off to take their revenge on Eggman.
As the three of them were running, they came to an extremely steep cliff, where Eggmans base used to be. "Crap" Sonic said "A huge cliff! We can only get past by flying! If only Tails were here." Kero coughed "Sonic, I HAVE TWO TAILS! DIM WIT!" They arranged into an upwards row, with Kero top and Shadow bottom. They plunged and... FELL! Kero hadn't used his tails in suck along time, and they were plummeting down wards. Suddenly, Kero used one of the Chaos Emeralds and burst into the sky. They were airborne! "Yikes!" said Kero "Good thing we had that Chaos Emeralds or we would be smoosh. And, it didn't disappear!" In little time, the three had landed and were bolting faster than anything you ad ever seen. In 15 minutes they stopped, and looked upon the new location of the Egg Fortress. They had finally made it there, and, with even better luck, the door was wide open. Kero was worried. "I don't know guys. This doesn't look right!" Sonic replied smoothly. "Relax Kero! It'll be sweet!" With that, Sonic bolted through and set off the alarm. The door closed. Ten robots teleported to the room. And Sonic was all alone, with no Chaos Emeralds. Within second, all robots were facing their guns at him. "Oh crap."
Will Sonic get killed? Will peace remain on Angel Island? Will Eggman make new Emeralds? Will will will?? (Lol) Find out on the next chapter of THE EMERALDS OF DARKNESS!
