A / N: Well, I got enough reviews (and I need more!) to post my next chapter, so here it is.
I would like to thank ededdneddy345 and … for sending the reviews. I can't believe I'm already number three on the list! I hope everyone who reads this sends more reviews.

Last time, Sonic met up with Aelita and explained his story. Soon after, Aelita contacted Jeremy and Sonic learned about Lyoko. A scan picked up the other five emeralds that were on Lyoko. When Jeremy tried to scan the emerald's power, it crashed his computer. At Tails' workshop, ht and Knuckles tried to pick up the signal of the emeralds, but failed. Then Amy called, and when she found out Sonic was missing, She ran all the way too the workshop, and started beating on Tails and Knuckles with her Piko Piko Hammer. While all this was happening, Xana hacked into Eggman's computer at his new base and…what!? A team-up!? Now Jeremy and the gang are rushing to the factory with the materialization program. But, can they get there in time?

Chapter 3The Yellow Emerald
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FACTORY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeremy, Yumi, Ulrich and Odd had made it to the factory in record time, but mostly Odd. He had to wait about 5 minutes for the others to get there.
"I can't wait to meet him! He could help me on one of his games!" Yumi, Ulrich, and Jeremy sighed. When they got to the supercomputer room, Jeremy got a connection with Aelita, put up a visual, and put on his headset.
"Aelita, can you hear me?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LYOKO
DESERT
REGION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aelita?"
"Oh Jeremy, at last! We've got a little problem." Once again, Aelita completely disobeyed Jeremy and left with Sonic to find the emeralds. They were hiding behind a rock to avoid the attention of about a dozen monsters, 3 crabs, 5 roachsters, 2 hornets, and 2 megatanks. They were surrounding the yellow Chaos Emerald.
'What would this Xana thing want with the emeralds?' Sonic thought.
Then, as if reading his thoughts, Jeremy said, "Xana must want to use the emeralds to boost the strength of his monsters and himself!"
'Boy, he's good…..'
"Okay, I'm sending Odd, Ulrich and Yumi to Lyoko."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCANNER ROOM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the others stepped into the scanners, Jeremy's Voice could be heard over the speaker.
"Okay you guys, you're off to the desert region. Transfer, Yumi. Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer Odd." The scanner's doors closed. " Scanner, Yumi. Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Odd." They seemed to be floating as their annex programs finished uploading. "Virtualization!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LYOKO DESERT REGION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All three of them landed on the ground, as usual, from their 15-foot drop. They quickly ran over to where Aelita and Sonic were. Odd could hardly contain his excitement.
"Hey! You must be Odd!" Sonic shook his hand as Ulrich whispered to him, "He refers to his name. A lot."
"And you must be Ulrich!" Sonic said while he whispered back, "I can see that."
Then he noticed Yumi. "Nice look! I take it you're Yumi?"
"Good guess." The Japanese warrior shook hands with the blue hedgehog.
"Guys, if you're done introducing yourselves, we've got a job to do!"
"Oh, yeah." Everyone said at once, while snapping back into reality.
Everyone peered over the rock. "That's a pretty lethal army." Odd commented while Ulrich explained to Sonic how to beat the monsters.
"All you have to do is hit that symbol that looks like an eye on them. On the roachsters and hornets, it's plainly visible. On the crabs, it's on the top of their shells. And on the megatanks, it's inside their armor, where they charge up their attack. You do NOT want to get hit by one of them! Got it?"
"Yup!"
"Then let's do this!" Ulrich unsheathed his sword. "Aelita, stay here."
"Don't have to tell me twice…" Aelita muttered to herself as the others charged out to fight the monsters. As soon as they spotted them, The hornets flew straight at them. "Laser Arrow!" Odd fired 3 Laser Arrows, killing 1 of the Hornets. "Nice shot Odd!" Ulrich commented.
"Yah!" Yumi jumped up and threw her fan, killing a crab. She got hit by a hornet's laser right in the back.
"Yumi, you got 70 life points left!" Jeremy shouted.
"Triplicate!" As Ulrich split into 3, he commanded them to split up. 2 of them took out a roachster each, and Ulrich killed another crab. He saw one of his duplicates get hit by a hornet, making him vanish.
"Take that!" Odd fired a Laser arrow at the remaining roachster, killing it. "Yea—Ahhhh!" a megatank fired at him, and scored a direct hit.
"Odd! You just lost 50 life points from that hit!
"No kidding Einstein!
"Woohoo!" Sonic yelled in enjoyment as he used his Crystal ring to take out the remaining crab.
"I'm starting to like this!" The roachster fired three lasers at him. He blocked the first two with the emerald he had, but was unable to block the third, and took the hit.
"Sonic, you lost 10 life points."
Ulrich dodged another megatank attack and charged straight for it. "Impact!" The megatank exploded. The last roachster fired lasers at him and his duplicate. The duplicate disappeared, and Ulrich took two hits.
"Ulrich, you're down to 60 life points."
Odd took out the roachster, and took another hit from a megatank. Odd was devirtualized and was back in his scanner.
Sonic took out the last hornet. All that left was the megatank. It turned straight towards Ulrich. As it fired, Ulrich jumped out of the way as Yumi threw her fan straight at the target. As the fan took out the megatank, Yumi was a little too close when it exploded. She was tossed back by the force of the explosion.
"Yumi, you lost another 30 life points." Jeremy tallied off everyone's life points. "Yumi, 40. "Ulrich, 60. Sonic, 90. Aelita, 100. Look out, 4 blocks are on their way."
Everyone looked in one direction and saw the 4 blocks coming straight toward them. They fired their lasers, which were blue. Everyone jumped out of the way. As the lasers made contact with something, it made a pillar of ice.
"Great." Ulrich said sarcastically. "Ice lasers."
Everyone ran toward the blocks, dodging lasers as they got closer.
Yumi's fan easily got 1 of the blocks, but since she was then completely unguarded, she was hit by another block's laser and was devirtualized.
"Yumi!" Ulrich shouted.
Then a block fired another laser right at Aelita. All she could do was raise her arms in defense, knowing it was useless. Just as the laser was about to hit her, Sonic ran right in front of her and used the Chaos Emerald to reflect the laser right back at the block, making it explode.
"Perfect timing!" Aelita commented. Ulrich ran right towards a block.
"Triangulate!" Ulrich yelled as he formed a triangle around one of the blocks, one Ulrich at each corner. The block kept looking at each one, confused. Finally, it tried to shoot one. It was the wrong one and it vanished. The other two ran off. As the block was trying to shoot the other fake Ulrich, the real one jumped on top of the block.
"Impact!" Ulrich shouted as he stabbed one of the blocks symbols with his sword. He jumped off just as the block exploded, and his sword flew into his hand.
As for the other block, Sonic was swerving left and right in the air using the Ring, dodging lasers and slowly getting closer. As soon as he was close enough, he charged straight for one of the targets, and took out the block. He slowly came to a stop and landed.
"Phew! That was exhausting!" Sonic said, and remembered the emerald. It was a few miles away.
He and Ulrich started heading towards it.

EGGMAN'S NEW BASE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is it finished?" Xana asked impatiently.
"Yes! All 3 of my latest Beacons are yours to command." Eggman said, adding the last finishing touches to the last one.
"Excellent." Said Xana. A black mist surrounded the robots, and they vanished.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LYOKO DESERT REGION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Emerald should be right up--- what?" Jeremy stopped in mid-sentence to see 3 entirely new monsters appear on his halo-map.
"What are those?" asked Ulrich.
"Beacons!" Sonic shouted. "How did Eggman's robots get here?"
"XANA!" yelled Jeremy.
"These guys are all mine!" Sonic said while he took out the Crystal Ring. When started his SpinDash and went straight through one of the Beacons. Ulrich threw his sword up at another Beacon and destroyed it, but before it was destroyed, it fired a laser straight at Ulrich! Ulrich flew about 10 feet and landed.
"Ulrich! You just lost 40 life points!" Jeremy shouted, while thinking, ' Man, these things are strong!'
"Where did the third one go?" asked Ulrich. He and Sonic saw the last Beacon go after Aelita, who just got hit by a laser, and tripped.
"Aelita!" Jeremy shouted as the Beacon charged its laser.
'I guess this is it……….' Aelita thought.
"NO!"
Aelita and the Beacon looked at Sonic. He had the second emerald, and was hovering with no help from the Crystal Ring. He was encased in an aura of pure white energy. He charged straight at the beacon at light speed. In less then three seconds, he had passed through the Beacon at least 30 times before it exploded. Sonic discharged his energy, and landed on the ground. Everyone stared wide-eyed at him, very surprised.
"That was incredible!" said Ulrich.
"Sonic, you are the GREATEST!!!" Jeremy shouted.
"Thank you so much." Said Aelita, smiling. Sonic thought he could see her slightly blush.
"Okay Sonic, I have the materialization program ready. Just step into a tower and go to the center of the platform." Sonic did as he was instructed and sped off towards the nearest tower. On his way, Jeremy took the opportunity to log out Ulrich, who appeared in his scanner."
"Okay Jeremy, I'm in the tower."
"Alright, I'm launching the program now. Jeremy inserted a disc into the CD drive.
"Code: Earth."
Everyone waited by the scanners as the doors opened and Sonic stepped out, looking better than ever.
"Welcome back to Earth, Sonic."

TAILS' WORKSHOP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tails and Knuckles did their best to stay away from an enraged Amy Rose, but it was no use. Just as they saw their lives begin to flash before their eyes, the radar started beeping.
"We've got a signal!" Tails yelled, and ran over. When he sat down, Knuckles and Amy, who had finally calmed down, looked over his shoulders. "The signal is coming from…France?"
"What would Sonic be doing in France?" asked Knuckles.
"To do some shopping for me?" Amy asked. Tails and Knuckles sighed.
"Well, we'd better go get him." said Tails. "I'll open up the runway for the Tornado 2."
"Great! Let's go!!!" shouted Amy, hopping in the back seat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What will happen to the other emeralds? Will Sonic and the others find them in time? And how much will Amy hug Sonic when they find him? Find out in the next chapter: The Green Emerald.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How was that? Was it good? Chapter 4 is already in the works, but I'll need about 5 reviews (besides my own) to post the next chapter. R&R, R&R, R&R!
