I'm just updating this story just for the heck of it.

"Leave the girls out of this," Yin-Yang panted.

"It's their choice," said Lightning.

The four portal like doors appeared and the four popped out of it.

"Whoa…I feel, so refreshed," said TT.

"I think I know why too…Lightning! You against us four! Yin-Yang, step down," said Shades,

"What?" Yin-Yang wasn't sure what to say,

"You always said that we always had a choice, and this is ours," said Star.

"I got her!" said Knell and took Yin-Yang away from the fight.

"What happened to your arm?" Yin-Yang asked.

"Um, a spider bit me?" Knell tried to think up of an excuse b/c she hates explaining in detail.

Knell puts Yin-Yang down and was about to go back to help when Yin-Yang stopped her.

"Knell, I know what's giving Lightning so much power,"

"What is it?" Knell asked.

"Guys…When we were created, we were given two options when it came to our powers," Shades started to explain.

"What do you mean?" Star asked.

"Either the powers of out counterparts, or the other ones. But, once we choose, we can't have the other. So I have to give up the powers of the ultimate life form to have these!" Shades threw her cloak off and white wings spread.

"Sweet…" said TT

"I wonder what I can do," said Star.

"Chaos Arrow!"

"Wait, I thought she said…"

"She said the powers of the ultimate life form, not the power of chaos control," explained TT.

"But, I'm not giving up my brain," TT added.

"I'm giving up my speed," said Star,

"WHAT?" TT exclaimed.

"I other powers, I have magic, but to use them fully, I have to give up my speed…I get it," said Star.

"Um, a little help here," said Shades.

"Star gave up her speed to have complete control of her magic powers.

"Meteor shower!" she cried.

"Whoa! Not me!" Shades ducked.

Knell just got there and saw what has happened.

"We lost one of the most powerful being on the planet and we lost some very good speed…they must be desperate," said Knell.

"Is this really the time to be…" TT stopped when she saw Knell's sad expression.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Lightning is getting his powers from our emotions," said Knell.

"You mean…he's unstoppable?" TT asked.

"No…he can be stopped…if we give up the most powerful; emotion to us," said Knell.

"What? Star will have to lose her love," said TT.

"You won't lose anything because it won't work if you're already 100 percent matured. I'll lose my ability to love and care," said Knell.

"And Shades…."

"Shades will lose everything," said Knell.

"But, they have a choice right?" TT asked.

"Is there really a choice here if the world is going to come to an end b/c he's able to use our emotions to gain power!" Knell snapped and TT flinched for once by Knell.

"Emotions are unlimited, which means Lightning's powers are unlimited," said Knell.

"That's right, so, there might actually be knells at your funeral," said Lightning (look in the dictionary, knell is a word).

"Not on my account!" and Knell shot fire from her hands.

While they were fighting, Yin-Yang helped the boys escape.

Sonic was about to dash off to help but she stopped him.

"They have to do this on their own,"

"Why?" Tails asked.

"Lightning is getting power and energy from the girls' emotions. They emotions they fell the most give him strength. Knell wants to give up these emotions,"

"What? She can't be serious!" said Knuckles.

"That was just a plan she thought of, but I have faith in them, I know they can solve this problem without doing such a thing," said Yin-Yang.

"Will Chaos Emeralds help?" Shadow asked.

"…Yes…maybe…." Yin-Yang replied.

"Knell and Shades both have one. I believe little TT does too," she added.

"So do I," said Sonic taking out the blue chaos emerald.

"Me too," Tails took out the yellow chaos emerald.

Shadow took out the silver/white/grey chaos emerald.

And Knuckles took out the one he had.

"That's seven total…wait…Knell!" Yin-Yang shouted but too busy fighting that TT came over.

"Whoa! Chaos Emeralds! Wait…that's a total of seven!"

"TT, can anyone of you guys turn into your super forms?" Yin-Yang asked.

"Star is exhausted, Shades probably can't handle it, and I'm not trying! Even if I do, I don't have much power," said TT.

"You're saying Knell is our only option?" Yin-Yang.

"One of the boys can help," said TT.

"Yeah!" said Sonic.

"Sonic or Shadow can help," said Knuckles.

"I pick…Sonic," said Yin-Yang.

"On it!" he said and took off with the chaos emeralds.

"He's feeding off our emotions! Unless we get rid of them, this battle won't be pretty in the end!" Knell shouted and dodged some lightning bolts.

"I'm not going to," said Star.

"Why? Star…"

"Knell…I can't live in a world without love. I love you guys as my family and our new friends. If I can't feel something as strong and beautiful as that, there's no point to live," said Star.

"Oh Star…." Said Knell.

"Ah!"

"What is it?" Yin-Yang asked.

"My brain is telling me the Star has reached 100 percent maturity!"

"Is that good or bad?" Knuckles asked,

"Depends on how you look at it," said Yin-Yang.

"Yo, Knell," Sonic ran up nest to here,

"Sonic?"

"Can you turn super?" hr asked,

"Yeah,"

"Okay, then lets do it," Sonic showed her 4 chaos emeralds.

"Star! Shades!" Knell shouted.

The two saw and threw their chaos emeralds to them.

"I'm…going to pass out now," said Shades but Star caught her.

"This is too easy," said Lightning.

"It won't be anymore!" said Knell as she and Sonic got ready to use the seven chaos emeralds.

"Will Knell's robotic arm handle all that power flowing through her body?" Star asked,

"I know she can," said Shades who was half awake.

"Take them down," said Yin-Yang.

"You can do it!" cried TT.

"Show him what you can do!" shouted Knuckles.

"GO Sonic!" shouted Tails.

Shadow said nothing but thought,

"Good luck,"
