Emerald Island 11:07 A.M. Day 2

"Ok, Knuckles, there's the alter." "No, the alters not safe, I'm putting it in the Royal Chamber." "But Knuckles, we are never to enter the King of Echidna's tomb, it's forbidden." "Look TR, if I put it in the alter, it would be stolen again, the tomb is the only place safe enough, father would understand." "Well my father was a firm believer in rules." "TR, you are my cousin, and as your cousin, I say this, in most nicest, most polite manner possible, FORGET ABOUT THE DAMN RULES!" TR was silent. "Ok?" "Yeah, ok." "Oosha day nah go comb de na' law." The Emerald Shrine opened in the center. "You can stay here if you want to." "No, I'll go." They both jumped down what seemed like an endless tunnel. When they finally got to the bottom, Knuckles opened the tomb door. "Just set it here. It'll be fine." "Ok, let's go." As they climbed up the tunnel entrance, the tunnel began to seal up. "Oh shit, we gotta hurry. Move!" "Now would be a good time for an emerald." "Shut up and move!" Just then, Shadow fell down, and grabbed their arms as he screamed. "Chaos Freeze!" Everything froze. "Come on, it won't last long." They hurried up and out of the tunnel, and Shadow released time. "You guys are too slow." "Whatever, thanks for the help." Shadow was about to turn when he asked another question. "What were you guys doing down there anyway?" "It's a safer place than the Emerald Alter, I'll put it where it goes when all this blows over though. So get us to Island 2." "Chaos Control!"

It is now 11:30 A.M. Day 2

Island 2 11:30 A.M. Day 2

Sonic and Axel were having a difficult time trying to hold off Chaos. TR and Knuckles instantly jumped into the action. "Ready TR?" "Ready." In unison, the two remaining Echidna's made an impressive attack. "Ancient Power of the Echidna!" A big beam of light as thick as a building was fired, and directly hit Chaos." Shadow, Axel, and Sonic began different small attacks until finally, Sonic was cheap shotted in to Shadow, making him once again, drop the emerald. This time Axel picked it up. Knuckles noticed it glowing. "Axel, do you know what that means!" "What?" Axel just realized that his hand had a bright glow emanating from it. "That's YOUR emerald, hurry up and say the words of time, you can beat this thing!" "But I don't know the words of time!" "Yes you do, just say it!" Axel sat there for a few minutes. "Bronze, white, and black are the elemental colors, chaos binds these into one color, an ancient color, Jinzet." Axel was consumed by a bronze light that hardened into a ball. It then cracked in several places and began breaking away. When it was gone, he had the emerald embedded on his forehead. "I am... Chaotical Axel." He walked up to Chaos. "Force of Time!" Chaos stopped moving. Time itself was constricting him, as if it were trying to deny the fact that he was standing there. In less than a minute, he disappeared. Time had erased him from the loop. "Holy shit! That attack kicks ass!" "Really? It's tiring though, I feel like I could go to sleep right now." "I think we should all go back to Island 3 and rest. Shadow, will you do the honors?" "Chaos Control!" Shadow didn't take the others with him. "How rude, just leaves us hangin like that." "Well it may have been rude, but do you think teleporting like that is easy? He's been doin it a lot lately, he's probably just tired. Let's just go the old fashion way."

It is now 12:23 P.M. Day 2

Island 3 11:30 A.M. Day

Shadow returned. "You're back." "Looks like it doesn't it?" "Where is everyone else?" "How am I supposed to know?." Just then they entered the room. "We have a problem." "What?" "More cities have been destroyed at the hands of Dark Chaotica Hedgehog and Eggman. They're on Island 7 though." "We need a plan, something they won't expect." Tiffany was looking out the window. "Wait, shouldn't Emerald Island be rising to it's original position?" "No, we didn't put the Master Emerald in the Emerald Shrine, it's in my father's tomb, a safe place. The tomb is made of Orchleium, if they decide to blow up the island, it will still be in tact." "Well we should get out of here, it isn't safe, let's go to Emerald Island, we can think of a plan there." Chaotical Axel was on the couch asleep. "Well, maybe we should wait a little bit."

It is now 11:42 A.M. Day 2

Island 7 11:40 A.M. Day 2

"Hmmm." Eggman was monitoring a security reading. A minor guard was with him. "What is it Eggman?" "Shadow is alive." "Shadow? Alive? Are you sure?" "Oh yes, I'm quite sure. Look at this, the Chaos Control was used here, and too a much higher degree. This could be trouble." The guard spoke immediately. "We should prepare for an attack." Dark Chaotica Hedgehog stepped in and interrupted. "No, let him come, let him bring his little friends if he wishes, we cannot be stopped." "Whatever, I'm going back to devise a little strategy of my own."

It is now 11:49 A.M. Day 2

Emerald Island 12:56 P.M. Day 2

"You guys can come up with a plan, I'll be back." "Wait, whe-" "Chaotical Time!" "Where did he go?" TR looked down. "He went to see his sister."

It is now 12:58 P.M. Day 2

Island 2 12:00 P.M. Day 1

Chaotical Axel looked around as people were crowded together with horrified looks on their faces. "I think this is the place..." He heard a voice behind him. "Hey, fuck you!" "I suggest you shut up before you piss me off!" He was at the right place. He ran into the crowd below Dark Hedgehog, grabbed his sister and "Chaos Freeze!" Axel looked up, the Elemental Emerald of Darkness was 2ft. above him, hanging still in the air. "I made it!" "What? Made what? What's going on?" Axel explained how she was going to die. "After that, I came here using the Elemental Emerald of Time. I just wanted to see you again, and to say goodbye." His sister began to cry. "I know it's hard... but you have... you have to die, if I mess with past events, something bad could happen. She didn't say anything, her only action was hugging him. "Here, take this." She gave him a necklace. "Take care of yourself, brother." He backed away slowly, out of the blast radius, and out of sight. Then, without warning, the emerald hit as she gave out a scream of fright. Axel had to watch his sister die a second time. "Chaotical time."

It is now 12:43 P.M. Day 1

Emerald Island 12:00 P.M. Day 2

When Chaotical Axel returned, everyone was staring. "What?" His voice showed no trace of sadness. "I tracked the emeralds energy... we know what happened. We will kill Dark Chaotica Hedgehog. He will pay for all the pain he caused." Hey Sonic, what's that?" "What's wha- Woah, where did this come from!" Sonic was holding a bright white emerald. "That's the... the Elemental Emerald of Light!" "So umm... how do I use it?" "You've gotta say the words of chaos, just like always." "Hmmm, I think this it, right here, printed on the side. White, bronze, and black are the elemental colors, chaos binds these into one color, a super color, Jinzet." Sonic was suddenly consumed by a bright white light. Emerging from the light, was Sonix. "Well what do ya think? I think it looks good." "That it does, but more importantly, it gives you the power to heal, and to create life." "Cool... Chaos of Memories!" A small wave of white formed and expanded, leaving everybody cool and refreshed. "Sweet, I feel great!" Artail began running around and jumping everywhere. Knuckles was as calm as ever. "That kid has too much energy." "We need to get to planning. We know he was at Island 7, but now he's IN Island 7." "In? How did he do that?" "My guess is there's a tunnel somewhere in the center of the island. So the only way to get to him is to fight our way to the center."

It is now 12:33 P.M. Day 2

Island 7 (Inside) 12:30 P.M. Day 2

"We've been tracked, your foolish plan didn't work!" Be quite you Egg-fool, that's what I wanted, I'm luring them here... what! How is the Elemental Emerald of Time gone! We destroyed Island... unless... we have to act fast, set up a perimeter defense, the enemy has pulled a fast one, a very fast one indeed."

It is now 12:35 P.M. Day 2

Emerald Island 12:45 P.M. Day 2

TR and Knuckles were guarding a set perimeter. Tiffany, Katrina, and Artail were sleeping. And Sonix and Tails were planning. "Did you hear that?" TR agreed. He and Knuckles went to a clearing. They were jumped by some robots. "Sonic!" They were cornered and tied up to a pole. Sonix and Tails woke everyone up. "They have them hostage. Now we don't know what's out there, so be cautious." Tails flew up to look around. "I don't see anything guys." Tiffany and Katrina went on either side of the clearing to search for any threats. Sonix and Artail went out and drew attention. The robots appeared from out of the ground and surprised Sonix, capturing him and quickly tying him to a pole within seconds. Tiffany jumped out of the bushes and kicked one of them into a tree, breaking the tree, but it seemed to have no effect, for he got up with little to no injuries. The other robot had caught Artail and tied him up with Sonic. "What the hell are these things!" Katrina radioed Shadow. "Shadow, where are you! We need help!" "Hold on." Tails picked one of them up and dropped him on an empty pole, puncturing his shell and putting a hole right through him. Yet he just got up as if nothing happened. "Axel, do something!" "Right! Continual Grapple!" Chaotical Axel ran up to the damaged robot and picked him up, jumped, then threw him on the ground so hard, he bounced up. Axel stood in the air hovering, waiting for the robot to come back up, when he did, he grabbed him and threw him again. When it bounced back up this time, he threw him upward so fast, the circuits exposed in the injury were fried due to excessive heat. When he hit the ground, he blew up. The other robot caught him off guard and tied him and Tails to a pole. He found Katrina, but before he could do anything, Shadow showed up. He looked completely different. He had the Elemental Emerald of Darkness, and had become, Chaotica Shadow. In his hand was a transparent sword. He had fallen down from what seemed like nowhere, and with one movement, cut the robot in eight places, and of course, causing his destruction. He cut everyone loose and the transparent sword disappeared. Knuckles; along with everyone else was confused. "How did you get that emerald! And what was that thing?" "The emerald just appeared as I was training, I'm not sure how, but it did. As for the sword, I call it, the Chaos Sword." "It probably got tired of not being with the right person." "It doesn't make sense, I was created, I can't be meant for anything." "Actually, you can. The Elemental Emeralds are designed for specific people. For example, Axel, you were chosen for the Elemental Emerald of Time, why you? Because you were once a bad guy, now you're good, not many people in the world are like that. Sonic, you are the proud owner of the Elemental Emerald of Light, why? I would think it be obvious, because you are the greatest "hero" of our time. Shadow, you are meant for the Elemental Emerald of Darkness because you were created, not born." "So how was Dark Hedgehog able to use it?" "The answer is simple, he too, was created." "What!" "Knuckles, how can you be sure of that?" "I just am, there are so many clues that points towards it. Think about it, he is able to use the emerald, his power is matched only by that of Shadow's, and if you haven't noticed, he resembles Shadow in many ways." Everyone was silent. "So... he's my brother." "It's possible, that would also mean that Eggman's grandfather created him, and if that's the case, I don't think Eggman has any knowledge of that fact." "We need to set our plan into motion, now." "Right, Chaos Control!"

It is now 1:30 P.M. Day 2

Island 7 (Inside) 1:30 P.M. Day 2

"Sir, the enemy has arrived at the island, and what's worse sir, Sonic and Knuckles are with them." "Really? Good, then the fight will be interesting, that also means they stopped A and B, what worthless robots they were. Eggman! Get in here!" "What now... see? I told you they would come back!" Eggman noticed Sonic and Knuckles on a security monitor. "Send out the troops, the emerald of darkness' disappearance was not a coincidence, we must do everything we can to stop them." "Yes, that's what I've been trying to tell you! You can't underestimate their..." "Shut up and do it!"
