"…And it is now a month after sonic heroes destroyed the infamous Dr Robotniks or Eggmans airship fleet." A female news reported read from a piece of paper as she read the news out. It was about few hours later from the arrival of their last tenant and the hotel staff was watching the news to see if anything interesting had happened.
"I hope we've seen the last of that maniac, he causes enough damage each time he tries to take over the world." The hotel lobbyist said absently as she took a sip from her coffee just as doctor Marvin walked past her with a towel in hand and started to chuckle silently at what she said.
"Hehe, those poor fools. If only they realised that the great doctor Robotnik was right under their noses!" He chuckled silently as he walked through the doors to the pool and someone ran headfirst into him. "Hey watch where you're going!"
"Er… sorry, I didn't see you walk out." A very familiar voice said to him. no it couldn't be… not now!
"Sonic the hedgehog!" Robotnik squeaked as he finally realised who he had just bumped into.
"I guess you heard of me huh?." sonic said as Robotnik let out a sigh of relief. His disguise was even better than he originally thought it would be! At this sonic shot him a suspicious glance. "Your not related to Robotnik are you?."
"tell me sonic if I were Robotnik why would I be here, in the very place that I tried to destroy?." Robotnik asked him as sonic dropped the suspicious look. Actually Robotnik just wanted to take over station square, not destroy it.
"I guess so… anyway see you later." Sonic mumbled as he turned around and began to walk towards a deck chair that he had dragged near the swimming pool. Robotnik started to walk away quickly.
"Are you done yet tails?." Sonic called out to tails as Robotnik walked back inside and hid behind the wall.
"aw come on sonic, just five more minutes!" tails voice rang out as Robotnik eyes narrowed. After weeks of planning this vacation the pests had just ruined in less than one minute! "Oh by the way sonic, where did you put that chaos emerald?."
"On the kitchen table in our room, 3A!" at this Robotnik let out and evil grin.
"This is almost to perfect!" he mumbled as he turned around and raced up the stairs to the deserted second floor, rolled up his sleeve and activated his comm watch. (The type from sonic X.)
"Metal knuckles do you copy?." He whispered quietly through his watch.

Metal knuckles was currently going around the prymaid base drawing bunny ears and devil horns on all the pictures of Robotnik he could find. To say that he was bored was an understatement. Since the base could take care of itself with all the other robots he really wasn't needed and had been told to polish up the robots and there was no way he wanted to do that all the time! So he decided to get a little revenge… as you can guess he was a lot like the real knuckles, Acting without putting any thought into the consequences first. But at that moment his 'fun' was interrupted when he heard his comm watch come to life with Robotniks face, making him hide his permanent marker behind his back.
"er what is it doctor? I'm a little bit busy at the moment." M.K. responded nervously.
"Well cancel whatever you where doing and bring project C.D. 3000!" Robotnik voice rang out with glee in it. Clearly he didn't catch the nervous tone in M.K. voice and look.
"But sir can't you get any other robot to do it? I'm a little bit busy at the moment." metal Knuckles whined.
"MK, you're the only one who has the programming to fly one of my robots since metal sonic, and busy doing what then?." Robotnik asked and then let out an angry frown when he saw his picture with bunny ears and a devil horn in the centre of his head. "Oh I see… you've been busy defacing my face!"
"erm..." Metal knuckles sighed then decided to change the subject… "But we still need a chaos emerald for it to work properly, and they haven't been seen since that reject metal overlord." Metal told as he heard Robotnik make Tsking sounds.
"But I've found one and I'm going to get it now." Robotnik said as MK sighed relief, it looks like he had forgotten. "Oh and once were back you are going to remove all the graffiti from my pictures, got it?."
"Yes sir." He mumbled bitterly as he switched off his end and rushed towards hanger 233 and shoved open the doors to it.
Inside was a huge robot that had a face like the metal overlord apart from a hole in it where Robotnik would control it. It had massive eagle like wings and claws that looked like they could slice through flesh like it was warm butter. It had two massive missile launcher packs on each of its shoulders and a rail cannon in the centre of its body. It was covered in a red paint and was made out of pure titanium that Robotnik had stolen from a mine four months ago. Also sharp spikes literally covered the body of the robot apart from the head. The rest of the body that was similar to the overlord apart from the feet which looked kind of like sonic's. Its armour seemed to gleam in the sunlight, which was coming from a massive sky light above.
Metal Knuckles however wasn't impressed. True it was a masterpiece and could do a lot of damage, it was just that he had to polish the damn thing twice a day! And considering that it was so big it took at least took two hours! It good though that the other robots helped him as well…
"Might as well get this thing up and running." He mumbled as flew up to the control tower and started the activation sequence that brought it to life with a jolt. The robot eyes gained a blood red colour as it smashed through the skylight and zoomed off using thrusters from its feet and by using it's wings.

"See I told you!" Amy Exclaimed while smiling as she and knuckles walked back to the emerald shrine while knuckles was stuffing his face with grapes.
"Mpf mpfh mpfhf mpfhfh mfhp!"
"Pardon?."
"I said, how come so many grapes were growing so near the ice cap zone and what where you doing their in the first place!" knuckles asked her while swallowing a mouthful of grapes as Amy looked around nervously.
"Er…um… I well… got lost."
"0.o… Right anyway I guess you can stay now but you can't go near the marble gardens or the hidden palace!" he warned her as he sat down in a crossed-legged position in front of the emerald as Amy began to pout.
"Then I guess that I'm not allowed near lava reef and sandropolis either?" she asked him as he shook his head.
"No you aren't."
"Well that just typical of you knuckles isn't it?." She asked him as her eyes wandered over to the writing on the stone. "What does that say anyway?."
"How am I meant to know! It not written in any language I've never even heard of before." Hesnapped ather as he held it out for her to read.
"Eston ray, cabon vi-eden miston, ergian-nevon spirit. creecorganlegon creda win blu cent..." She read aloud from it and sweat-dropped. "What the!" she exclaimed out as knuckles shrugged.
"That's what I thought when I first read it." He told her as she nodded in response.
"Sheesh! What a weird language!" Amy stopped abruptly as she noticed a faint light coming from the master emerald. "Erm knuckles what's happening?."
"What?." he asked her as she pointed to something behind him and he turned around and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the master emerald looking like it was going to explode! "No not again!" and the master emerald…
Shattered.
"GOD DAMNIT! Not again!" knuckles screeched in anger as he jumped to his feet and raced around the emerald shrine, picking the master emerald pieces that now lay scattered on the floor. "Amy help me pick up all the pieces!"
No response...
"……. Amy?." He asked as he turned around to see her staring at a faint glowing ball of white light, which was now where the master emerald would usually be. "Well this is new…"
"…Knuckles what is this?." Amy finally said to him while still staring at the ball of light.
"I don't know but whatever it is it shattered the master emerald so it's officially earned itself a beating!" he exclaimed as he thrust his fist forward towards the thing and… it zoomed off before he could even touch it. "Wha?."
"Well there it goes…" Amy mumbled as she pointed to the ball of light as it zoomed off in the distance. "So knuckles do you want help putting that back to together?."
"Yeah I think all the pieces are here but a lot smaller." He said as he looked at all the scattered emerald pieces on the ground and Groaned. "This is going to take a while!."

A loud clicking sound followed Robotnik pulled out his robo-copycat-key from the lock and entered Sonic and Tails room. He was in the main sitting room where there were two doors leading of to the bedrooms and the kitchen probably. The room itself had a window on the far side of the door that Robotnik could here Sonic still shouting at Tails. Two big sofas's, a TV, A phone and a table in the centre of the room… with the dark blue chaos emerald on it."Heh, this is almost to easy." Robotnik grinned as he swiped the dark blue gem of the table, shoved the gem into his pocket, rushed out the door closing it quietly behind him and pulled out the radio again. "Metal I got the emerald, do you copy?."
"So soon? Anyway I'll meet you at the emerald beach in twenty minutes okay?." Metal said with the sound of a rocket engine in the background.
"Right, over." He said as he rushed past the reception desk and past a startled receptionist.
"Where are you going in such a rush sir?." She called out to him as he rushed out the sliding doors.
"Emerald coast!" he called out as he rushed towards the main road, called a taxi over and jumped in. "to the emerald coast and step on it!"
"Right." The driver mumbled as he pulled back onto the road and started towards the beach then raised his eyebrow as he watched his passenger toss a blue gem about while chuckling evilly silently in the rear view mirror.

Shadow rubbed his queasy stomach nervously. He and omega were now in a speedboat which that they had 'borrowed' from the little south island harbour and omega was the one who was driving it.
"I'm surprised you haven't thrown up yet shadow, you did it three times on our journey to the south islands." omega said to shadow as he saw the emerald coast in the twinkling in the distance. Shadow still didn't know why he was so prone to be sea sick, it was just a mystery like his past.
"Probably because the sea is a lot calmer now." Shadow said as he absently looked at the crystal clear water they were zooming over.
"I guess so." Omega mumbled in agreement. "So who do you think that guy was who stole your emerald?."
"I don't know, I couldn't really tell since he was wearing a cloak at the time." Shadow said shrugging then turned around and saw something coming up fast. Whatever it was it was huge! It kind of resembled the metal overlord but there was one thing, which basically told shadow what it was:
The Robotnik symbol on its head. "Whatseries is that omega!" he asked as omega turned around and his eyes went wide, if they could have.
"I don't shadow, it must be one of Robotniks later models because I don't recognise it." Omega explained to him as the huge robot flew over them and he spotted a mass of metallic red dreadlocks. "That's strange, why is Metal knuckles was controlling that instead of Robotnik?."
"Oh… wait there's a metal knuckles?." Shadow exclaimed as omega nodded. "I didn't think the echidna would be important enough to get a metal copy…"
"I wonder what he was mumbling about…" omega asked himself as he watched Metal pilot the robot through his super scope.
"What is Robotnik up to now?…" shadow mumbled as he watched the robot land on the emerald coast, lower it's head and then fly off towards the city. "Erm what just happened omega?."
"Robotnik put something into the centre of it and flew off in it towards Station square." Omega told him as shadow got a distant look on his face. "Our arrival time will be 5 minutes."
"Good, hopefully we'll be able to stop him from doing some series damage." Shadow mumbled as he looked up into the night sky. He didn't know why but something inside of him was urging him to stop that stupid egg, probably something from his forgotten past again. "I got a bad feeling about this…"

Sonic let out an exhausted sigh as leaned over the balcony outside his room. After finally managed to successfully catch and convince tails not to do that again he managed to get some sun at least. But by then the sun had almost set and he had been quite hungry then so he went and got something to eat.
"Well that was a good day to start off the vacation." Tails said cheerfully as he walked out from their hotel room.
"Easy for you to say, I had to watch you in the pool most of the day." Sonic mumbled as tails whistled innocently.
"Well then learn to swim sonic!" Tails told him then developed a series look on his face. "But seriously sonic what are we do about your missing emerald?."
"I probably misplaced it somewhere tails so I wouldn't worry about it." Sonic told him, even though he was sure that he had put it on the table on the table in the living room. Besides he was too tired to look for it anyway. "Plus were on vacation tails and we shouldn't worry about chaos emerald now tails."
"I guess your right…" tails said while letting out a huge yawn at the same time. "Well I'm going to bed now, need plenty for tomorrow!"
"Night tails." Sonic called out to him as the fox walked back into the living room, leaving sonic gazing up at the starry sky and went into deep thought. "geez, haven't seen the stars this bright since starlight. I remember last time I was there, running past streetlights along seemingly endless paths. I don't know why but I felt really relaxed there, probably the fact that it was so quiet there." He thought as he looked down towards the emerald beach.
"Of course the best view of the stars I had was on the death egg, I was to busy with shadow and the Biolizard for star gazing on the Ark. Then I had to fight my first metal copy, silver sonic and then metal sonic. I don't get how metal is so hard to destroy like silver sonic was, first we fought on sky sanctuary (sonic 3/knuckles.) and that collapsed with him. Then we raced on little planet when he kidnapped Amy, (Sonic CD.) then we fought again in the white jungle (Sonic Adventure 1.), then we raced again (Sonic Adventure:2 battle). Then a month ago he transformed into the metal overlord and then we fought yet again (sonic heroes.) Actually now that I think about it I surpose you could say that he's the main reason why Amy likes me now. I don't know if I should hate him or be thankful for that…hey what's that thing in the distance?."
There was actually two things sonic could see but he was more focused on the one closer to him and letting off a blinding white light. All he could see of it was that it was a ball of white light kinda of like Tikal did when she was in her spirit form except this one felt different. He got an eerie feeling just looking at it.
"Sonic did you really have to fling all your wha?." Tails let out a startled cry as he came to complain about sonic dumping all his stuff on his bed but stopped in his tracks when he saw… whatever it was. "What is that?."
Sonic didn't reply. His mouth felt dry and his feet felt like the were stuck to the ground as the thing came closer… and closer until he swore for a split second that he saw a blue hedgehog almost Identical to him, with a confused look on his face come up to him as the ball seemingly disappeared and somehow the wind got knocked of him. "Upf!"
"Sonic are you okay?." Tails asked in concern ashis bestfriendkneeled over with his eyes rolled.
"So… tired…" he managed to mumble before he collapsed on the balcony floor.
"Sonic this is no place for a nap!" he heard tails say faintly as he began to lose conscious.
"Now I've got you stupid pests!" Robotnik…?
"wha? Ahhh!" he heard tails scream in shock as he fully lost conscious.
