1Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Cream, Cheese, and Rouge walked along a sidewalk.

"Hey, did any of you guys hear about that fire in Mystic Ruins earlier?" Tails asked.

"I didn't need to hear about it," Knuckles began, "I saw it! Those flames were huge!"

"I saw it too, I was there," Shadow said. "But luckily, I managed to Chaos Control outta there!"

"I heard about it on the news," Cream stated. Rouge nodded.

"Yeah, so did I!"

"I wonder what caused it..." Tails wondered.

"Chao chao chao!" Cheese yelled.

"Huh? What's the matter Cheese?" Cream asked.

"Chao!" Cheese pointed ahead. Six other creatures stood in front of them.

"Who are they?" Knuckles questioned. Everyone else shrugged.

All the creatures had crimson eyes. One of them looked just like Tails, but he was a dark green color. Another one who looked like Knuckles was a golden-yellow color and the crescent moon on his chest was black. Then there were two who looked like Cream and Cheese. The one that looked like Cream was a royal blue-purple color with black patches and the one that looked like Cheese was a black Chao with red tips. There also was one who looked like Rouge, except she was a dark blue color with red stripes. The last one resembled Shadow. He was a sky blue color with black stripes. The dark green Tails stepped up.

"Move it!" he ordered.

"Get outta our way!" yelled the one that looked like Knuckles.

"Who do you think you are!" Knuckles yelled back.

"The bringers of destruction!" the one that looked like Shadow cried out.

At that moment, they all split up. The sky blue Shadow took to the air, as did the one who looked like Tails. They both held their hands up high above their heads. Suddenly, the sky grew darker and a fearsome thunderstorm began along with a huge, black tornado that swept away many buildings. The one that resembled Rouge closed her eyes. Within seconds, water came spraying up from the ground. (Like in Sonic Adventure DX) The one who looked like Knuckles pounded his fists upon the ground, causing a massive earthquake that shook the city. The two remaining looked at the others.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves!" the royal blue-purple Cream laughed. "I am Star, Goddess of Chao!"

"And I'm Ninja! The Dark Ninja Chao!" The black and red Chao claimed.

"I'm Gold, The God Of The Earth!" the golden-yellow Knuckles yelled.

"My name is Typhoon, The Goddess Of Water!"said the Rouge-looking one.

"And I'm Blade, God Of The Wind!" cried the dark green one as he and the sky-blue Shadow landed on the ground.

"And my name is Bane, The God of the Sky!" the last one shouted.

"We have to get Sonic!" Cream whispered. Tails nodded.

"I agree!"

"Well I don't!" Knuckles yelled. "I can take 'em on myself!" He then began to charge at Gold who only smirked.

"I got him! You guys go ahead and report back to her!" told Gold.

"Are ya sure?" Blade asked. Gold nodded. "Alright then! Lets go!"

"Chaos Control!" they all yelled before they vanished.

"They can use Chaos Control!" Shadow exclaimed.

"Take this!" Knuckles shouted as he threw a punch at Gold.

"No! Knuckles! Wait!" Tails yelled but Knuckles ignored him.

"Heh heh heh! Foolish mortal!" chuckled Gold as he disappeared.

Knuckles stopped dead in his tracks. "Where did he go!"

"Take this!"

Out of nowhere, Gold appeared and gave Knuckles a swift kick in the gut which caused him to go flying backwards.

"B-but h-how?" wondered Knuckles.

"Ha! Now while you're here lying defeated, my sister is obtaining the controller of the Chaos Emeralds!" Gold explained.

"Controller of the–? No! The Master Emerald!"

"That's right Knuckles!" chuckled Gold. "See ya around! Chaos Control!" Then he disappeared again, this time for good.

Everyone else ran up to Knuckles.

"Knuckles! Are you alright?" Tails asked.

"Not until I know the Master Emerald is safe!" Knuckles then got up and began running towards Angel Island. Shadow and Rouge started after him.

"We'll follow Knuckles to make sure he doesn't get in over his head! Meanwhile, you go find Sonic and tell him what's going on!" Shadow yelled.

"Right!" Tails nodded. He turned to Cream and Cheese. "C'mon guys! Lets go!"

"Okay..."

"Chao chao..."
