Chapter 1
Where is Tails?
Disclaimer: same as before.
"Tails!" Yelled Sonic. Tails had been missing for over a week now. Tails had been missing for over a week before, but he had told someone where he was going. No one knew where Tails was. Sonic was so desperate, he had asked Eggman, for goodness sakes. Eggman had tried to kill him while he was at it, though. But Eggman hadn't kidnapped Tails, which was a pity. If he had, Sonic could have fixed it. He was good at fixing stuff like that.
Sonic paid a visit to Knuckles. "He Knuckles!" He yelled, as he got to Angel Island. Knuckles was sleeping against the Master Emerald. (No surprise there.) Sonic tapped the Master Emerald lightly with his foot. Knuckles was awake in a nano-second. He pinned Sonic to the ground before he had time to blink. "Why do you always do that?" Growled Knuckles, getting off Sonic. "How else am I supposed to wake you up?" asked Sonic, massaging his neck, which he had been pinned by. "Anyway, what do you want?" asked Knuckles, ignoring Sonic question. "Do you know where Tails is?" asked Sonic? "No." said Knuckles, in his annoyed voice. "Can you help me look for him?" asked Sonic. "I have to guard the Master Emerald." Said Knuckles. "Nothing will happen if you're not guarding it for ten minutes" said Sonic. "Okay" said Knuckles. But if anything happens to the Master Emerald, you're as good as dead." "Okay, okay, don't be so touchy." Said Sonic.
"So where should we start?" asked Knuckles, not quite as tense, now that he had something to do. "Well, in Tails' workshop, I found a heap of melted metal." He let the sentence hang, not saying what might be under it. Knuckle's raised his eyebrows. It was an expression of disbelief, but Sonic could tell Knuckles was just as concerned as he was. "Let's go," said Knuckles, ending the conversation abruptly.
When they got to the workshop, (which took about five seconds), Knuckles pulled open the huge sliding doors, and stared at the heap of melted metal. He could sense chaos energy inside. "If Tails melted my Chaos Emeralds into one of his crazy machines." He punched the wall, leaving a large indent, and showing his intentions perfectly. "Well before you murder him, we have to find him." Said Sonic. "I seriously doubt you can hide seven Chaos Emeralds and a dead fox in there." Said Knuckles. "Less talk, more dig." Said Sonic. Knuckles jammed his fist into the heap, letting out his anger out on the metal. He used so much force, that the metal shattered, sending shrapnel everywhere. Eight shiny gemstones rolled out. (Yes eight! If you read the prologue, you'd know why.) Knuckles picked up the non-Chaos Emerald. "What's that?" ask Sonic. "I've only glimpsed this sort of thing once before." Said Knuckles. "A long time ago." "And what is it?" asked Sonic, getting impatient. Knuckles took a deep breath. "It's the end of the chapter."
