Fire was everywhere! As he, Tails, put one out, two more started. Tails was getting frantic. Where was Sonic? Tails flew up and the flames got taller in front of him. Then in the distance he saw something threw the flames. Then the flames vanished. Tails discovered that he couldn't move his hands or feet. He had been shackled to a wall. In the distance he saw Giant Metal Sonic's destroying a city. Something stepped between him and the city. Eggman was there, laughing at him. Tails saw Knuckles the laughing at him too. Nearby his friends were trapped in the Master Emerald. The ground shook.
Tails bolted upright in bed. Breathing quickly he saw that it was light out. It had all been a dream. Tails breathed a sigh of relief. Then the ground shook again. Tails jumped out of bed. That had been no dream. Then a sound of something tall falling happened right outside his window. Tails jumped out his window. Tails saw two fallen trees and one figure.
Tikal was standing out there facing a third tree. Tikal jumped and and floated there. Then she turned upside down. She hit the ground hard with her hand. The ground shook and the third tree fell over. Then she turned towards Tails. Tails could see that all the pain was gone, she had survived. "Its amazing what a good nights sleep can do isn't it?" a voice asked from just behind Tails. Tails turned and saw Sonic.
"I am just getting myself into shape, sorry if I woke you Tails." Tikal said. Manic and Ashura walked out of the house, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes. Amy walked out after them. Sonic eyed up the situation quickly and said, "Come on guys, let's get to the shrine." With those words Sonic speed away. The others followed as quickly as they could. They took a small detour to get breakfast from an orchard. They arrived at the shrine; Sonic and Knuckles were waiting there. Once they all were present Knuckles spoke.
"Now we have 7 here, the chance of restoring the Super Emeralds is almost insured. Everyone get on top of a Super Emerald. We will be transported to the area of a Chaos Emerald. You must find and obtain the Chaos Emerald. When you have it you will be transported back here. Now get ready."
Everyone stood on one of the super emeralds, watching as Knuckles spoke to the Master Emerald in the ancient tongue of his people. Only Tikal understood what he said. When he finished the Master Emerald glowed a bright green. A beam came out of it and went to each of the super emeralds. Then the super emeralds shot a beam out of the top of each emerald, through Sonic and the others. Each of the super emeralds' beams went up a hundred feet into the air, then they all scattered in different directions. Sonic looked at Knuckles as the universe dissolved around him.
When Sonic came to, he was aboard a ship in out space, the ARK. A voice from nowhere spoke in a deep voice, "It is good to see you again blue hedgehog."
