Chapter 22

Sonic, Tails, Shadow and a very cold Knuckles were flying quickly back toward the city. Sonic, once again on the roof of the X Tornado, looked down at the wondrous skyscrapers and the tiny ant like cars and people below. He relaxed as the X tornado cruised over the city, almost falling asleep.

But suddenly, as they flew over the City Hall, the X Tornado's detector bleeped, telling Tails that it could sense another emerald.

"Sonic! It says there's another emerald just here!" Tails called out. Sonic blinked, awakening himself. Tails stopped the X Tornado from moving forward, so now they were hovering over City Hall.

"We'll have to go check it out!" Sonic yelled, against the loud noise of the plane's engine. Just then Shadow, unexpectedly, got up, opened the roof and jumped out so that he now stood beside Sonic.

"I'm coming with you." He said.
"We'll wait for you here so don't be long k?" Tails called out, showing a thumbs up. Sonic nodded and gave a thumbs up back at Tails. He then turned to Shadow.

"Let's go."

Shadow nodded. The two hedgehogs then jumped off the plane's roof and sped down the side of the nearest skyscraper. They jumped, twisting and turning like gymnasts, along the walls of the buildings until they eventually landed on the concrete ground of Central Station Square.

They quickly rushed into the huge room; the reception area. Sure enough, a few yards away from the two hedgehogs, was a purple chaos emerald, sitting in a glass display case. Just as soon as they'd entered the building, the President emerged, surrounded by his various employees, asking if they could do anything for him, from a large staircase. The President spotted the two hedgehogs and greeted them.

"Sonic! And Shadow! Good to see you two again! Have you come here to see the chaos emerald I found recently?"
The hedgehogs blinked in surprise.

"You found it?" Sonic asked, almost blurting out the question as he spoke it.
"Yes, as I was driving back from a meeting with my board. It was sticking out of the road, as you can imagine, and it gave my limo a flat tyre! But it was a good thing really, as now I can show it off here!" The President smiled with glee.

Shadow rolled his eyes slightly, so not to be noticed as the President was an important man.
"We need this emerald quickly!" he said.
"What Shadow means to say is that there is a new evil force at work Mr President. It's after the chaos emeralds and if it gets all 7 then it will turn into an unstoppable monster! Don't you remember the incident with Chaos?"

The President blinked.
"Oh my! Of course I remember it! What exactly is this new force?"
"It's an all powerful robot Eggman built." Shadow explained. It runs on the power of the emeralds so we have to make sure it doesn't get any more."
"Well in that case you can take it, by all means!" said the President. He waved his hand at one of his employees, who quickly came forward and unlocked the case. Sonic picked up the emerald.

"I can alert my armed forces immediately Sonic. They can help you out." The President suggested.
"Don't worry. We've got this under control." Shadow replied.
"Thanks Mr. President!" said Sonic and he zoomed out of the building, with Shadow following him.

The President watched from the door as Sonic and Shadow jumped back up the various buildings to the X Tornado, hovering above him and waved the two hedgehogs a goodbye.
