"I can't believe dat we got away wit the emerald, eh Eggman?" the weasel pulled his flask to his lips for another swig. "As soon as I finish off the rest of the Chaotix, I plan to enter the sniping business again. What about you, buddy?"
"I plan to do what I always do. Try to take over the world. With Shadow and Knuckles out of the way, it'll be easy. Especially with the Chaos Emerald."
Too bad you won't have that in a few seconds." the duo turned around to see Endigo standing in the center of the room.
"You!" they both yelled, opening fire on the fox. The creature easily dodge them. He reached the EC mk II and shoved his hand into the center. In a few seconds, it was over. Endigo had used Chaos Control, leaving the pair alone in the craft.

Emerald Coast
Endigo reappeared over the crystal blue water, barely stopping before hitting. He flew over to the roof of the Chaos Remnant Control Center. The fox was about to break in, when he felt a surge of pain in his head. As he fell to his knees, he dropped the emerald, allowing it to fall over the side of the glass roof. He began shouting in two tones, one kind, one dark.
"I can't do this! Yes I can! I won't! I will! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the split personalities became one again. "I can't let this keep happening. For now, I must find the emerald."
Endigo dropped over the side and began his search. As he looked, he heard the shuffle of feet behind him. He turned to see a pair of rifles aimed at him. There was a short, pudgy man with a stretched uniform, and a taller guardsmen with his sleeves pinned back.
"You're trespassing on private property." the fat man began. "This building contains hazardous material."
"Didn't you know," the fox started as his hand met the emerald. "That's why I'm here." they opened fire just as Endigo disappeared. He reappeared behind the taller man, shoving the emerald into his back. As it came out the other side, he aimed it at the shorter guard. "Death Factor." an attack that plays on a person's worse fear, the fat man began to imagine that he was growing shorter and shorter. He soon fainted. Endigo flicked the blood from his hand and the emerald.
Endigo returned to the roof. He smashed his fist into the glass and fell in. Hundreds of men began to enter the room as the alarms went off. Endigo shot Chaos Spears at all the entrances, killing those coming through. He turned back to the others. Throwing the emerald into the ground, he yelled, "Chaos Tremor!" The room was filled with the blood and howls of the guards.
The fox entered the final chamber. He looked at the pool of Chaos before him. A smile crossed his face. He dipped the tip into the dark liquid. The pool was soon empty and the fox was soon gone.

Club Rouge 6 days later
"I can't believe it." Sonic whispered, looking down at the multi-colored floor. The Chaotix had just told everyone what had happened in the Land of the Skies. Rouge had fainted after hearing about Shadow and Knuckles. "Are you sure about this?"
"Pretty much." Vector began. "I mean, chunks of the ship fell all around us." the group had come back together after news had come that the sixth emerald had been found by Cream and Amy. Rouge had found two on Prison Island. The Chaotix had also found two, while the rest of the teams found one each. The Chaotix had no clue where the last emerald was, but they guessed Endigo had it, which meant their home was doomed.
"Could Shadow have found away to get the emerald and escape?" Amy inquired.
"I doubt it." Tails said, turning from his computer screen. "Sonic, turn on the TV." as the hedgehog did so, they were assaulted by the surround sound feature. The fox turned it off with the remote. It was already on the news channel.
"-re reporting live from the streets of Emerald Town, where a group of vigilantes a-" the man was knocked out of his place.
"Move that camera and suffer a fate worse than death." the fox began. The camera began to shake. "Sonic the Hedgehog, I have become aware that you possess the remaining six Chaos Emeralds." he held up the golden jewel for all to see. "Bring them to me, or say goodbye to every town and place you've ever lived in." he fired a blast at the camera. By this time, all of the heroes, except Rouge, had left.
Sadly, To be CONCLUDED…
