So the X tornado took off the ground, leaving Amy sitting rather gloomily on her own in Tails' workshop.
"I hate it how they always leave me behind!" she thought to herself. However she knew that Shadow was right. She wasn't the most athletic or brave or smart of the group of freedom fighters. She'd just slow them down. She sighed and slowly got up, wandering around Tails' place, gazing at his various inventions on display.
"Shadow's right." She said to her-self confidently "I might not be able to help them by going with them. I can help in the way I'm better at doing; making sure that Eggman's creepy robot doesn't get any of our chaos emeralds!"
She stopped walking and sighed again.
"Still, I would have liked to have gone along." She thought.
Looking at the X Tornado's inbuilt "chaos emerald detector", Tails could see that a new object had been detected just below them.
They were flying around the Emerald Coastline, over the ocean. Tails and Knuckles sat in the front of the plane with Sonic sitting on the roof and Shadow in the back.
"Hey Sonic! There's an emerald just down here!" Tails called out. Sonic looked below him at the vast shining water. He sank back and shook his head.
"Aaaaw man what a great place for a chaos emerald to be at; the one place I can't get to!" He moaned.
"No worries! It's not like you're the only one here who can't swim Sonic!" said Knuckles, opening the hatch and stepping out next to Sonic, much to Tails' disapproval. He saluted to Sonic and dived down into the ocean.
"But how does he even know whereabouts the emerald is?" Tails exclaimed.
Shadow looked out of his window.
"He's a treasure hunter. He'll be fine" he said calmly to Tails.
"He's right Tails! Knuckles'll find it no probs!" Sonic said reassuringly and gave Tails a thumbs up. Tails nodded.
"Ok if you guys say so. But I'm gonna have to land the X Tornado or we'll run out o fuel, so hold on!" and with that Tails turned the X Tornado around, heading toward the beach, and landed.
As it landed Sonic stood tall and he could faintly see a red spec swimming toward the shore, from the distance.
"Hey guys I think Knuckles is coming back!" he said.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Knuckles appeared at the shore, panting for breath. The others ran to him.
"Knuckles! Did ya get it?" Tails asked eagerly. Knuckles didn't speak, as he was so out of breath from all of his swimming but simply nodded and held up the green chaos emerald.
