Shadow and Espio
By Streak The Chameleon
Chapter 7: For an Emerald
I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.
Xeno, Espio and Shadow are not necessarily being framed. After all, it's not about the robbery. It's about GUN. One, Espio and Shadow need all the help they can get. Two, would you attack your own brother? Streak, in the second chapter, obviously didn't know about it the robbery. There's no reason to just attack. Third, it's about GUN now. Forget about the robbery. I hope this clears it up.
Espio raced through Iron Gate, dodging the occasional robots and GUN soldiers who got in his way. He had already gotten the emerald in Pumpkin Hill.
"Just one more to go," he thought to himself.
He was about to reach the emerald when the door shut in front of him.
"What the heck? Why'd this door close?"
"I think I have a answer to that, Espio."
"What? Sonic?"
Sonic leaped up and smashed his fist into Espio's neck. There was a crack and Espio blacked out.

Streak appeared in front of Tails' workshop in the Mystic Ruins. He saw the Tornado parked in the garage.
"Like taking candy from a baby!" Streak thought as he prepared to smash the casing on the plane."
Suddenly there was a commotion at the door. He heard Tails' voice.
"Oh, hi Amy! You look different. Come on in!"
Streak cursed. "Gotta hide, quick!" he thought as Amy and Tails walked through the door.
He turned invisible and dove behind some barrels.
"Nice plane, huh?"
"Yeah…"
"I'll get some food!" Tails ran out of the room.
Amy turned her head toward the barrels. She walked over.
Streak held his breath.
Amy raised her hand, brought it down, and smashed a barrel.
The one Streak was hiding behind.
Streak lost his concentration for a second. But that was enough for Amy.
"I see you there."
Streak turned visible and ran past Amy. He went up to the plane, and in one movement, smashed the casing with one hand and grabbed it with the other.
Amy dashed toward him and knocked the emerald out of his hand.
"No!" Streak dove for the emerald. Amy got to it first and ran out toward the jungle.
"Oh no you don't!" Streak yelled as he through a flurry of shurikan at Amy.
It hit her in one leg and she fell.
Streak ran forward and grabbed it. Then he felt a hand close around his neck.
"Let it go!" Amy said as she squeezed harder.
He let the emerald drop. Amy dropped him and picked up the emerald.
Streak started laughing.
Amy cocked an eyebrow.
"You… are such… an idiot."
He lunged at Amy and put a shurikan up against her neck.
"Drop the emerald, or you die, supernatural freak or not."
She dropped the emerald.
Streak took Amy, threw her over him, and picked up the emerald.
He grinned. "Until we meet again, Amy!"
He started rubbing his bracelet. Seconds later, he disappeared.

30 minutes later…
Streak and Shadow were walking around the ARK, waiting for Espio.
"What's taking him so long?" Shadow wondered.
"Maybe he got captured," Streak said.
The two paused. And then cursed at the same time.
Soon they were running down the corridor to the transporter.
"Do you know where he is?" Streak asked.
"I last had contract with him at Iron Gate," Shadow said.
They reached the room and walked in.
"I just need to set the-whoa!"
A hammer had embedded itself in the control panel.
Streak looked up and saw Amy.
"God! Don't you ever give up?" Streak said.
"I'm afraid not."
"We can Chaos Control out of here, Shadow whispered to Espio.
"I don't think so…" Sonic said as appeared behind Amy, along with Knuckles and Rouge.
"Ninja Leaf Swirl!" A gust of wind blew and knocked down Amy.
"Let's go!" Shadow said.
