Scene 3: The Emerald Hunt Begins!!!

Place: Unknown Island

Time: 5:00 PM

"I wonder what emerald Sonic and his friends will go after first?" the hedgehog thinks. "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time." He begins to walk around the ruined palace.

"I have watched for centuries for an opportunity like this," it says as it continues walking. "The Chaos Emeralds have misused for a long time. It is about time for me to collect them once again! Before I start this mission, I should complete something that this body wants to do. Tell me body! What is your final wish?" As soon as the hedgehog requests the mission, a vision of Dr. Robotnik appears.

"So this body wants to get rid of the guy I saved Sonic and Tails from..." the hedgehog says. "Doing this would help me get better understand this body until I can get the silver emerald. The body at this level maybe strong enough, but help would make the job easier." He wanders around the palace more.

"I should use my Chaos Detect to see where the emeralds are located," the hedgehog thinks. "Ahh. I am beginning to pick up the emeralds' energies. They are scattered throughout this planet. I can also sense three life forces heading towards an emerald, but which one?" The hedgehog walks towards the exit of the ruined palace as he focuses his mind on the life forces. "They are heading toward the green emerald. It is about time Sonic and his little pals see what type of people they are dealing with." He stops and looks at the ruin palace. "My friends and I shall be reunited very soon. Let my revenge on this planet begin! Chaos Control!" the hedgehog says.

Place: Green Hill Zone

Time: 5:17 PM

Tails lands the Tornado 2 in the Green Hill Zone.

"That was a bumpy ride," Knuckles says.

"Knuckles is not flying any plane I'm riding in!" Sonic replies.

"Enough of that. Let's find the emerald." Tails commands.

"Okay. We'll behave." Sonic and Knuckles say. They begin to move though Green Hill.

"This place has changed since the last time I came here," Sonic says. "I began my battle against Eggman here. I only stood against him because he was robotizing the animals that live on South Island."
"You told me the story before Sonic," Tails says.

"So, Sonic, you begin collecting the emeralds during this time as well?" Knuckles asks.

"Yeah. I only collected six when I fought Eggman for the first time," Sonic answers.

"Six? Which emerald was missing?" Knuckles again asks.

"The silver emerald," Sonic replies.

After finishing that conversation, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles reach a split in their path.

"Hey Tails! Which path leads to the emerald?" Sonic asks.

"Well, Sonic, both paths can lead to the emerald. Both paths are also the same distance, but one path has a hazard and I can't figure out which one has it," Tails replies.

"A tough decision indeed," Knuckles says.

"Let's go right!" Sonic shouts.

"Okay Sonic if that is your wish. Take the walkie-talkie so you can warn us if the hazard is on that side," Tails says.

"Got it. Here I go!" Sonic replies. Sonic begins running though the right side of the fork.

"So far it's good Tails," Sonic says as he speeds along.

"Sonic, you should be almost there. Can you see the emerald?" Tails asks though the walkie-talkie. Sonic stops in his tracks.

"Tails, I have found the hazard. It is a giant gap in the road. I can see a green sparkle. That must be the emerald!" Sonic says.

"Tails, Knuckles, come over here so we can figure out," Sonic commands.

"All right Sonic. We'll be there in a few minutes," Tails says. Knuckles and Tails proceed down the same path as Sonic did. They eventually meet up with Sonic.

"I see your point," Tails says. "Good thing you called us."

"I thought I could use a spin dash or jump dash, but it would be better for us to be together when we get the emerald," Sonic says.

"I'll glide across," Knuckles says.

"So Sonic, how are you getting across?" Tails asks.
"You carry me across," Sonic replies.

"I've carried you before Sonic, but I don't think I can carry you that far," Tails says.

"There's no other choice. We have to get the emerald," Knuckles interjects.

"All right," Tails says. He begins to twirl his tails.

"I'll go ahead of you guys." Knuckles says.

"Cool. We'll catch up," Sonic replies. Knuckles begins his glide across. "I thought my emerald hunting days were over..." he thinks as he glides.

"Ready Sonic?" Tails says.

"Yeah. Let's go!" Sonic shouts. Tails begins to carry Sonic over the gap. Knuckles crosses the gap.

"There's the emerald." Knuckles says. Sonic and Tails cross the gap as Knuckles grabs it.
Sonic jumps from Tails' arms and says, "Great job Knuckles!"

"All right! We got the green emerald!" Tails squeals.

"I'm sensing some energy," Knuckles says.

No sooner than Knuckles says that then the mysterious hedgehog appears. "Good job at finding the emerald," the hedgehog says.

"What the deal with you?" Sonic asks.

"Do you really want to know who I am? All right, I will reveal myself," it responds. "Reveal!"

The black form begins to remove from the hedgehog. "That body looks familiar," Sonic says.

"That's Shadow!" Knuckles yells.

"The one you know as Shadow does not exist right now," the hedgehog says. "My name is Silvix."

"Silvix? What kind of name is that?" Sonic asks.

"None of your business. Now hand over the emerald!"

"No way! We'll never give to you!" Tails says.

"Okay. Maybe the emerald should have a say in this," Silvix says.

"What!?" Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles say.
"I will give a sample of my power. Spirit of the Emerald be reborn! Chaos Resurrection!" An energy beam comes from Silvix's arm and hits the emerald.

"Chaos Resurrection?" Sonic says looking puzzled.

"Chaos Resurrection. I've heard of this technique," Knuckles thinks in his mind. The emerald begins to glow very bright.

"Veran, come give your statement in this argument!" The emerald shatters from the power being giving off. A green smoke appears. "Veran shall be born soon. You three are about to see the type of power you are messing with!" Silvix says.
