Emerald Island 4:00 P.M. Day 1

When TR arrived, he saw the Dark Hedgehog meditating in the Emerald Shrine. "Trent... it's good to see the last of the Echidna, strong and wild, just like your race once was."

"You wouldn't know anything about the Echidna! And how do you know my name!"

"Oh I must disagree, I know a lot about the Echidna, which is why I know your real name, I also know enough to know that they are an eternal race, and the only way to change that, is to use the Chaos Emeralds in unison with the Master Emerald." He smiled. "If I'm not mistaken, that is supposed to be classified information, is it not?"

"So what do you plan to do with that knowledge?"

"Me? Nothing, I already did something with that knowledge, why, I ended the Echidna race." TR was instantly enraged, and would have attacked, if Axel hadn't just shown up. The Dark Hedgehog was infuriated. "I told you to stay out of my way!" Axel laughed.

"I have the Chaos Emeralds you know, I killed Sonic, I killed Knuckles, and I'll kill you too!" He transformed into Super Axel. Dark Hedgehog took out his Emerald of Darkness. "Time to die!" Super Axel charged after him. Dark Hedgehog simply gripped the emerald as a big black ball formed around him. When it cleared, he spoke.

"Feel the wrath, of Dark Chaotica Hedgehog!" Super Axel stopped dead. "Chaotic Darkness!" Everything went black, even though the sun could still be seen. It was an unnatural darkness, one that sends shivers down your spine. You get the feeling your gonna die, even if your in the safest place in the world. You lose all hope, and cold creeps up like a wolf on the hunt. TR was using every ounce of his energy to resist the darkness. When light finally broke through the darkness, Super Axel was no longer super, more than that, he was dead, and Dark Chaotica Hedgehog was gone. TR was shocked. Axel knew where the Master Emerald was, now he was dead. And there was something about that emerald. In any case, his new objective was clear, kill Dark Chaotica Hedgehog.

It is now 4:33 P.M. Day 1

Island 3 4:41 P.M. Day 1

The sky was even more cloudy as TR went back to Tails' house. Everyone had been wondering where he was. They were all quiet as TR told them about what he'd seen. "You have got to be shitting me, if only Sonic and Knuckles were alive..." Tails interrupted.

"Well they're not! So deal with it! It's up to us now to stop Dark Chaotica Hedgehog! I will not let their death be in vein!" TR looked reluctant.

"Actually..." TR was thinking really hard as to if he should say it or not. "There is a way to bring them back." Tiffany jumped to her feet.

"How?" TR began to explain.

"Dark Chaotica Hedgehog, he used an... an Elemental Emerald, the Emerald of Darkness. Though it is stressly forbidden by the Echidna, we could find and use the Elemental Emerald of Time. We can use it to travel back in time to where ever we choose, but I don't know where it is hidden." Tiffany argued back.

"Well Dark Chaotica Hedgehog is using one!" Just then, the person they least expected to show... well, showed. Axel the Hedgehog. TR stood up.

"You, you're supposed to be dead!" He was badly injured.

"Heh, I guess all kinds of things are going wrong then." Tails now stood up.

"Don't worry, I'll make him dead." Axel jumped back.

"Wa-wait, I can take you to the Emerald of Time." TR looked at him sarcastically.

"Why would you want to help us?" Axel looked down nervously.

"I, well, I was hoping you'd let me use it to see my dead sister one more time, but, if I can't, I still want to stop Dark Chaotica Hedgehog, I mean, I'm bad, but he's TOO bad, he'll blow everything up, then it won't be any fun." TR was still being hard on him.

"Well, my name is TR, and you WON'T be using the emerald, but I'll be glad to have you help us stop this son of a bitch. Just don't try anything funny, got it?" Axel shook his head.

"Yeah, I got it. Keep these Chaos Emeralds safe." Axel handed TR the emeralds as Tiffany now stood up, about the same time as Artail.

"Well, let's go." Axel waved his hand.

"Right, follow me."

It is now 5:00 P.M. Day 1

Island 6 6:04 P.M. Day 1

"Ya know, Axel, you're gonna show us where the Master Emerald is too." Axel gave a sigh.

"Ya, I know, I only took it cause it looked cool anyways, after we get the Emerald of Time, I'll take ya to it." They walked a couple more miles before stopping. "We should camp here tonight." TR halted everyone.

"Alright people, let's set up camp." Everyone had their own tent, except for TR, who insisted on staying outside to watch for trouble. Artail was having fun with some Usaku. No one slept until about 10:00 P.M. Day1. When most of the camp was asleep, Axel went to Katrina's tent.

"Hey Katrina." Katrina looked up.

"Hello, what do you want?" Axel replied nervously.

"I just wanted say that I'm sorry for scaring you at your photo shoot." Katrina laughed.

"I wasn't scared. In fact, I was looking forward too getting to know you, you're actually kind of cute."

"Axel stared blankly. "Really? Well... cool, I guess. Ummm, about what happened though..." She laughed again.

"Don't worry about it, it's not like it was bad or anything." Axel was unsure of what to say next.

"So..." They both looked at each other for several minutes. That night, they fucked again. Tiffany and Tails heard them.

"Fucking slut." Tails shook his head.

"Just ignore it, I bet we can make it sound better anyway." Tiffany smiled.

"I guess we'll find out, then." Tails and Tiffany smiled. It was 5:31 A.M. Day 2 before awoke. He quickly woke everyone else up. And was confused when he saw that Tails and Tiffany, and Axel and Katrina, were sharing tents. But he quickly disregarded it and thought it better not to ask. A lot had happened the past day, and they didn't expect anything different today.

"Look, you better hurry up with that Elemental Emerald!" Axel didn't reply.

It is now 6:00 A.M. Day 2

Island 7 5:45 A.M. Day 2

"Dark Chaotica Hedgehog, that has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Mr. Eggman." Eggman was on edge, obviously expecting something to happen at any moment.

"Indeed it does, but don't let it go to your head! Remember, Sonic and Knuckles can still interfere." Dark Chaotica Hedgehog turned to look at Eggman.

"Honestly, Eggman, you worry too much. I killed the only one who knew of "its" whereabouts, Axel is dead, and so will be all the inhabitants of the floating islands!" Eggman was unconvinced.

"And what about Tails and the others, they're not going to just sit back and wait for things to happen!" Dark Chaotica Hedgehog smiled.

"You underestimate my power, I..." Eggman interupted.

"No, you underestimate THEIR power, a mistake I have made far too many times to repeat!" Dark Chaotica Hedgehog stood up infuriated.

"How dare you interrupt me! I have seen their power, they are all inferior to me, as is yours, so SHUT UP!" Eggman looked half way down, as if to warn him.

"I just want you to know, I hope your right, but know this, Sonic tends to show up when you don't expect it, and I'm sure that when he does, he'll bring Knuckles, and the entire gang with him, when that happens, you will no longer have control over my armies."

It is now 6:01 A.M. Day 2

Island 6 6:30 A.M. Day 2

"We are nearly there, at the foot of that mountain." He pointed to a large mountain, called Grey's Horn. TR stopped the group.

"Remember, we have the element of surprise. They think Axel is dead... they do not know of what we are about to accomplish. Tails, fly and scout ahead, Artail, you can scout the ground area, Tiffany, Katrina, you two go on ahead, Axel, you're with me. We'll meet at Grey's Horn, Tails, Artail, if you see anything, radio us, got it? Good, let's move!" It is now 6:50 A.M. Day 2
