Sonic Adventure 2—Tails POV
Chapter 2: There's Chaos Emeralds involved... (Green Forest through Mission Street)
A short recap...I gave Amy the key card I'd found and let her do the talking. I should have known better. Sonic was pacing back and forth in his cell when Amy approached with the key card.
"Amy? Why are you here? How'd you get here?"
"Tails brought me here to bust you out. Why are you here?"
"It's that fake hedgehog. I think he said his name was Shadow."
As Sonic said that, he did some sort of odd interpretive dance-like maneuver that I still fail to understand to this day.
"I think I saw him before with Eggman..."
"Really? Where was he?"
"I'll tell, but only if you marry me!"
"Yeah, right! Just bust me out of here so I can find him."
"Ok, alright..."
She slid the card through a slot in a wall console and the cell opened.
"Thanks!" Sonic said before he sped off.
Now to the present...I had transformed the Cyclone back into plane mode when I heard Sonic send a desperate message over our 2-way radio.
"Tails, the island's gonna blow up in about 8 minutes!"
"Where are you?"
"In the jungle!"
"Get as close as you can to a clearing and keep your radio on. I can track your signal!"
I flew as fast as the Tornado would go and saw a blue dot amid all the green. I flew closer and Sonic jumped into the plane. As we lifted off, I felt a powerful surge of Chaos Emerald energy. What in the world was that? Unless...Eggman must be planning to use the Chaos Emeralds! I thought.
That evening, I was returning to Station Square with Sonic when I saw a message appear on the huge screen in the center of town. It was from Eggman. He ranted on for a while about becoming the world's greatest ruler and then a huge asteroid orbiting Earth, the long shut-down Space Colony ARK, blew apart—the bottom half, anyway—revealing a large cannon which opened and fired a huge green beam at the moon, blowing apart half of it. Then a 24-hour timer appeared on the screen and started counting down, accompanied by Eggman's hysterical laughter.
"Now what is he planning?" Sonic asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, but it has to have something to do with the Chaos Emeralds."
"How do you know that?" he asked me.
I pulled out a Chaos Emerald. "I felt a large surge of energy from my emerald when the cannon fired."
"Tails, where'd you get that?"
"Remember how I stopped Eggman's missile just before Perfect Chaos attacked? Well, the mayor gave me this as a reward. And since the Emeralds have the ability to attract each other..."
"We can use them to find Eggman! Good job Tails!"
I then departed to break through the military forces and clear a path for Sonic so we could buy some time to come up with a plan.
Sonic was still working through the police as Amy and I were waiting in an alley when the manhole in front of us started shaking...
END CHAPTER TWO
Oooo...who could that be? If you've played SA2, you know who it is...
