Here's chapter two!

Chapter 2: The new Radar

In the Mystic Ruins....

The sound of hard work could be heard from inside of Tails' workshop. Inside the workshop sat the two-tailed fox in question working feverishly on a small object that resembled a compact.

"Almost...Almost....I GOT IT! IT WORKS!" Tails shouted happily. The little object which revealed itself to be a radar of some sorts began making a beeping noise which persisted. "Now let's see if it really works." Tails aims the radar towards the X Tornado which was parked outside of the workshop and to his surprised, three little dots appeared clustered together on the small screen. "YES! It's working!" he walks outside listening to the beeping persist once again, beeping faster as he got closer and closer to his jet. He opens a small compartment revealing three Chaos Emeralds and the radar stops beeping. Chaos Emeralds found appeared on its screen. "I did it! Now we can locate the rest of the Chaos Emeralds." Tails says. "I gotta tell Sonic and the others." He rushed off back inside his workshop....

Meanwhile...

"Sonic!!" Sonic winced slightly at the high pitched voice that belong to none other than Amy Rose. "You're late! Can't you ever be ON TIME?!"

"Look!" Sonic started crossing his arms. "I said I WAS SORRY! So get off my back ok!" and so their daily ritual of arguing began for that day lasting more briefly than usual. The two hedgehogs sauntered the busy streets of Station Square.

"Well, since you were late....AGAIN....I get to choose what we're going to do today. I think that's fair." Sonic's eyes closed and furrowed together as he sighs.

"...Sure why not but before we do anything, let's go see Tails. I haven't seen my little buddy in a while. Whaddya say Amy?" Amy seemed to ponder the suggestion. She of course wanted time with Sonic but it would be good to see Tails again. Amy looks up at Sonic and smiles.

"That's fine." Amy smiled lightly. "Let's go."

On Angel Island....

The afternoon was turning into late evening as Knuckles boredly sat outside watching the dais and the glowing emerald. The Chaos emeralds had once again scattered...all except one and it sat lonely near the larger Master Emerald. It had been quietly lately with no attack from Eggman leaving Knuckles with his thought of how "quiet" it had been with fighting Eggman's minions or keeping sticky fingers off Jewel thieves off his Master Emerald. It's been the same old—same old. He sighs, not noticing the pair of eyes that eyed him from the distance.

"After all these years...the Emerald is still in the same place I remember...." A voice says chuckling. "Ah yes...the guardian is but a young Echidna. This may prove to be more interesting than taking the diamond." Knuckles felt the presence of another as he turned around; however, he saw nothing but the aura was still there. Knuckles stood defensively as his eyes narrowed.

"Come out, whoever you are! I know you're here!" Knuckles called. The figure simply chuckled, a gust of wind surrounding him as he disappeared.

"Hear me Guardian and hear me well. The Master Emerald of Chaos was once in my grasp along with the other Chaos Shards. I will not let you or any other stand in my way of having the power that was once mine." The male voice faded and the wind became still. Knuckles growled.

"Wha... What was that all about? What did he mean?" Knuckles seemed to relax slightly as the mysterious entity he felt left him. –And what did he mean...other Chaos Shards? Was he talking about the Chaos Emeralds?- Knuckles frowned slightly. "Looks like it's time to find the rest of my Chaos Emeralds." Knuckles almost felt happy. It had been dull since the A.R.K incident. It would be good to get some action. Making sure the Master Emerald was safe, Knuckles headed away from his island with one set destination....The Mystic Ruins. –That fox has a couple of Chaos Emerald that he uses to power that jet of his. He could be in danger.- Knuckles thought as he took off to Mystic Ruins....

In the Desert...

Roxanne-Li entered the shrine near the back being welcomed with silence of the empty shrine. She sighs taking of her weighted boots off loving the feeling of the icy marble floor under her feet. –I wander where everyone is?- Roxanne sauntered up a crystal staircase to the living quarters and headed for Nimbus' room. Quietly peeking in, she found Nimbus sleeping peacefully; however, the sound of conversation down the hallway catches her attention....

"Shadow..." Emblem repeated the name. She smiled gingerly at him. "So where are you from Shadow?" Emblem asked trying to start conversation. Shadow is hesitant before answering and Emblem notices this.

"Here and there." He replies. Emblem began to change the bandage on his arm and looks at the Chaos Emerald that hangs from around his neck. She reaches to touch but Shadow stopped her by grasping her wrist. She gasped lightly and the two eyed one another for what seemed like forever.

"Oh! I'm sorry...I didn't—." she says breaking the stare and looking down.

"No. It's not that." Shadow paused letting her wrist go as he slipped the Chaos Emerald from around his neck handing it to her. "Here..." he lets her hold the Emerald. Emblem looks at the Emerald carefully. The green jewel began to glow in her hands Shadow noticed this. –What's going on?- he thinks but just as quickly, the glow leaves the gem....

Roxanne opened the door finding Emblem at the bedside of another Hedgehog but Roxanne didn't seem to notice anything else except for the gem that Emblem had. –That power...What is this....- The white crescent on her chest began burn but the sensation left her quickly. She decided to ignore it for the time being but her wandering thoughts were cut off by an outburst from the strange black hedgehog.

"You're an Echidna!" he says taking the Emerald back from Emblem. Roxanne looked at him as if he had grown another head.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." Roxanne replies dryly. "My name is Roxanne. This is my home...And who might you be?" Shadow's eyes narrowed briefly.

"My name is Shadow." He replies. Roxanne nodded.

"He will be staying here for a while. Do ya mind Rox?" Emblem says to the Echidna. Roxanne shrugged.

"...Fine with me." Roxanne replied. Something about this hedgehog wasn't right to Roxanne but she decided to keep quiet. –I trust Emblem's judgement. She's careful about who's she's around and who she trusts. He can stay...for now...and that gem...something about it...- "I'm going to bed now. I've got things that need to be done early tomorrow." She says mainly to Emblem. She looked at Shadow. "Nice meeting you Shadow." And with that, she leaves....

Meanwhile....

Sonic and Amy arrive at Tails workshop and of course the sound of drilling as well as other various tools at work could be heard outside.

"YO! TAILS!!" Sonic called. However, the noise persisted. "Must can't hear me."

"Let me try...TAILS!" Amy shouted loudly but no one still replied, then a thought came to Sonic's mind.

"MILES PROWLER!!" Sonic shouted and as if on cue, the noise inside the workshop stopped.

"Don't call me that na—!" Tails leaned out the window. "Oh hey Sonic, Amy! Good to see you two!" Tails hops out of the window slowing his fall with his two tails.

"Hey little buddy! Whatcha been up to?" Tails smiled widely.

"Things you wouldn't believe!" Tails invited his two friends inside. "I invented something you wouldn't believe." Sonic quirked an eyebrow.

"What is it Tails? You seem a bit more excited than usual." Amy inquired. Tails reached for the little radar on the table handing it to Sonic.

"What is this?"

"It's a radar." Tails replies as he opens it up and it cuts on. "...A radar that can locate Chaos Emeralds."

That it everyone...for now. I'll try to have the Chapter 3 up tomorrow. Pleaz Review! v seeya later.
