Rider's Hideout
"That was close, almost to close." Said Wave as she put her board away. "How was that, Shadow, able to teleport himself like that?" Jet pondered.
"Who cares?" Said Storm. "But we need to go get his emerald." Jet's eyes widened. "That's it! The chaos emerald! He must of used the chaos emerald to teleport! That's the only logical explanation!" Jet picked up the emerald he had stolen from Sonic earlier. He tried to use it's powers to teleport, but failed.
There was a beam of light in the rider's hideout, and Shadow was standing in front of the doorway with his
emerald. He turned his attention to Jet, who was still trying to figure out how to use Chaos Control. Without warning,
Shadow charged at Jet reaching for the emerald. Jet reached for his board but Shadow was to fast. "So," said Shadow.
ready to hand over my emerald?" Jet backed up into a corner with nowhere to turn. "So it has to be like this?" He asked.
Shadow smirked. "Guess so. Even if it means I have to take all three of you on!"
Sonic's House
"Sonic! Sonic! Wake up! Are you okay?" Sonic's friend Tails was standing above Sonic. "What are you doing laying down in front of your house? You've been down for awhile."
Sonic stood up from the ground. "Wh... what happened? All I can remember was... I was saved by a hawk.
a green hawk. His name was... Jet." Sonic rubbed his head. Then it all came back to him. "Wait a minute! That hawk stole
my emerald! Tails, I need your help to get my emerald back! better yet, as many as we can get!" Sonic dusted himself off.
"Why?" Wondered Tails. Sonic tried to remember more. "There were two other thieves. Uh... Storm! And.
uh... who was it? Oh yeah, Wave! They're all gonna try to steal the emeralds! That's why we need to get them before
they do!"
"Wait, hold on a second." Said Tails. "You said they stole your emerald?" "Yeah," said Sonic. "They did. Which means... whoever else has emeralds..." Tails caught on. "Okay, let's do it. but where are we gonna find them?"
Sonic didn't know what to say. "I don't know. Who else has emeralds?" Tails thought for a minute. "Um.
Shadow does, I do, and Knuckles does.That's it. I don't know where the rest are."
"We'll just have to work from there. Maybe one of us should go warn Shadow, and the other one go warn Knuckles. Sounds fair?" Tails thought for a moment. "And then we meet back here afterwards?"
"Yeah, sounds like a plan to me." Said Sonic. "Who do you want to go warn?" "Definitely Knuckles. Shadow tends to get mean sometimes, even though I know he's not."
"Cool," Sonic reached his hand out. "Let me see your emerald. I can use Chaos Control to go to Knuckles' house with you. Then I'll just run to find Shadow. He's usually hanging around those parts of town anyway."
Tails tossed the emerald to Sonic, then grabbed his arm. That was the only way someone else could travel with whoever was using Chaos Control. Sonic gripped the emerald, then lifted it up. "Chaos Control!"
Knuckles' House
A beam of light in Knuckles' front yard made him jump out of his seat and rush to see what it was. It turned out to be Sonic and Tails. "Where did you guys come from?" Asked Knuckles.
"I used Chaos Control with Tails' emerald." Said Sonic. "We came to tell you that there are three thieves who
ride hover boards, that are out to get all the chaos emeralds! So protect your emerald!" Sonic returned Tails'
emerald. "But right now I have to go warn Shadow about them, you two meet me back at my house, and then we'll go
find the rest of the emeralds." And with that, Sonic ran off to find Shadow.
"Alright," said Tails. "Let's go." He began walking to Sonic's house, Knuckles trotted behind him.
The Forest
Sonic halted to a screeching stop in the heart of the forest. "Phew! That was a pretty good run." He looked around but no sign of Shadow. "Hm... that's strange. Shadow's normally hanging around here." Sonic continued his search throughout the forest.
Rider's Hideout
"You know what happened last time." Said Shadow. "Don't make it happen again. Just hand over the emerald." Jet saw Wave and Storm quietly walk up behind Shadow. "Not this time!" Shadow turned around and pointed his chaos emerald at Wave and Storm. They flew across the room into the wall, which caused some of the ceiling to crumble. Since Shadow wasn't looking Jet took this oppurtunity to escape. He ran for the door.
Shadow chased him and blocked it. Jet turned and ran the other way. Shadow reached for the emerald.
Jet dodged and kept running. He knew Shadow would catch up. Wouldn't be long until he reached a dead end. So he
decided to turn around and stop running. "I suppose there's no point in running from you."
Shadow also stopped running, but kept his ground. "Well at least you know something. Ready to give up"
"Nope." Jet prepared himself. "I didn't know it would have to come down to fighting."
Storm and Wave were now standing behind Shadow. Jet still in front. "This isn't really anything out of the ordinary." Commented Shadow. "You're nothing compared to what I've had to fight before."
"Let's find out then, and don't hold back this time!" Jet charged the front of Shadow. Storm and Wave charged at the back of Shadow. "Alright then, bring it on!"
