Me again, I've been noticing on how little reviews i've been getting on this story. And I was wondering what was wrong with it. I just need a little encouragement, I was really excited about writing this story and nobody thinks it's any good. Don't keep it to yourself, I wanna hear it! Please!

Chapter 5

Sonic ran down the streets of Westopolis, GUN agents were still chasing him in helicopters and in jeeps. "They just don't quit!" Sonic turned around and ran backwards for a while. He pulled down the bottom of his right eye and stuck his tongue out, he was starting to get the GUN agents angry.

"I don't care what it takes!" Said a voice from the radio on one of the jeeps. "Just GET THAT HEDGEHOG!"

"Yes sir." Said an agent in the car. "Ok, somehow we have to speed up, now here's what we'll do..." Just then the X-Tornado blasted above them, heading for Sonic. "What the..." On the nose of the X-Tornado was Knuckles.

"Sonic! Grab my hand!" Knuckles yelled holding out his hand.

"Be careful Sonic!" Amy screamed from the back seat. Tails lowered the X-Tornado for Sonic to grab Knuckles hand and Knuckles pulled him up.

"Mayday, mayday! The hedgehog is making an escape! All units prepare to fire! The white aircraft is against us! I repeat, the white aircraft is against us!" Said another agent into a microphone.

"Roger." Said a man from one of the helicopters.

"Lucky you came when you did, I might've been done for." Sonic laughed.

"You can thank us later." Knuckles said looking behind them at the helicopters that were closing in on them. "Tails, you might wanna think about speeding up a bit."

"I'm trying as hard as I can. For some reason the X-Tornado isn't responding. We must have used too much fuel trying to catch up with you, Sonic." Tails said.

"Whatd'ya mean?" Amy asked.

"We're in trouble!" Tails started to panic. Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other.

"What do we do?" Knuckles asked.

"I don't know..." Sonic started to think. "I guess we'll just have to hold them off."

"Good. I need some action. I haven't had any all day. This'll be fun." Knuckles cracked his knuckles and prepared to jump off the X-Tornado.

"But remember, Knuckles, don't hurt the people inside, just knock the planes down."

"Yeah, yeah."

"You ready?"

"Always." Sonic and Knuckles jumped off the X-Tornado and both of them landed on one of the helicopters. Knuckles jumped inside the helicopter.

"Hey, you're not supposed to be in here!" Said one of the men on board. Knuckles smiled and pushed them all out of the helicopter. Knuckles slammed his fist into the controls and pulled out some wires. Sonic jumped inside the other.

"There he is!" Said one of the guys.

"Get em!" Another said. Sonic stood by the open door and just smiled. When the agents ran towards him he stepped out of the way and they all fell out of the helicopter. Now the only person left in the helicopter was the guy who was driving. Sonic grabbed the guy and threw him out.

"Call me!" Sonic yelled as the guy fell out. All of the guys had parachutes, that's why they threw the dudes out, don't think they were just crazy. Sonic got in the piolet seat and started to stear towards a hill. Knuckles was having trouble.

"How do you fly this damn thing!" Knuckles yelled. Meanwhile, Amy helped Tails refuel the X-Tornado.

"How much fuel do we need?" Amy asked.

"Just enough to get Knuckles back to Angel Island and us back home. I can refuel the whole thing when we get back."

On Angel Island

Iris and Emma walked down the forest finally getting to Angel Island. "So, how much farther is it?" Iris asked her.

"Knuckles said the Master Emerald was straight ahead." Emma answered.

"What's that?"

"What's what?"

"That noise."

"I don't hear anything." Emma was getting confused.

"It sounds like a...helicopter?"

"Oh no." Emma ran to the clearing and saw a helicopter flying above the Master Emerald. There was a grappling hook that was being connected to the Master Emerald by Rouge. "Hey!" Emma yelled. Rouge looked at her.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" Rouge yelled back.

"What exactly do you think you're doing?"

"I'm taking my emerald, it needs to be polished."

"You're emerald? Last time I checked that was Knuckles' Emerald." Emma crossed her arms and looked at her angrily.

"He let me watch it while he was gone."

"Uh huh. Funny. Knuckles told me and my friend to watch it."

"Really? Well, that's intresting."

"Yeah, especially since he never said a word about a bat helping us."

"Silly Knuckles, he forgets so easily."

"Uh huh...You expect me to believe that?" Rouge gnashed her teeth together and flew towards Emma and got ready to kick, causing Emma to get scared. Just as Rouge was about to hit her, Iris extended her hand towards Rouge and her hand glowed red and a red bolt blasted out of her hand and hit her, knocking Rouge down.

"What the..." Rouge sat up and looked at Iris whose hand was still extended. Iris didn't see it, but Eggman was in the helicopter. He started to pull the Master Emerald up to the helicopter. "Why you little..." Rouge darted towards Iris and they started to fight. Emma watched in amazement, forgeting there ever was a Master Emerald. Iris shot Rouge again, knocking Rouge down once more breathing heavily. Iris was barely breathing hard at all. Rouge looked up and smiled. "Sorry I can't finish our little party here, but I've got the Master Emerald, and that's what I want, there's no reason why i should stay here." Rouge flew off.

"Get back here!" Iris screamed.

"We're...in trouble." Emma said looking at Iris. "Knuckles is not going to be happy about this." Emma walked towards the Master Emerald shrine and sat on one of the steps and buried her head in her hands. Iris watched the helicopter that carried both Rouge and the Master Emerald away.

"Snap!" Iris yelled looking at the ground. "My one shot to make a new friend and I blow it."

"Yeah, even if you did guard the Master Emerald, like we were supposed to, he still wouldn't consider you a friend. Do you know how long it took for me to convince him that I was his friend. He's pretty protective of himself and of the Emerald. But...he's not gonna be happy about this."

"How much harm could he do to us?" Iris shrugged looking at her as if Knuckles was a fly who couldn't do a thing.

"You haven't seen the sharp spikes on his knuckles have you? Don't be fooled by his appearance, Knuckles can fight...and good."

On Space Colony ARK

Shadow stood by a window and looked at Earth. He closed his eyes. "Shadow, what do you think it's like on Earth?" Maria said in his head. He opened his eyes. "Maria..." A small tear hid in the corner of his eye. Rouge walked over to him.

"Shadow, Eggman wants us." After Rouge turned around, Shadow wiped his eye and followed her. Eggman was in the control room.

"It's about time you two showed up. You didn't think I'd do this on my own, did you?" Eggman said laughing. "The time has come! Everything is ready to go!"

"Are you sure?" Rouge said, "We only have six of the seven Chaos Emeralds."

"That's more than enough for the demonstration. So let's get this show on the road!" Eggman pressed a button and his face appeared on every tv in the world. "Bwahahahaha! Citizens of Earth, listen very closely...My name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientist. And soon to be the world's greatest ruler! Now, this is the beginning of the greatest empire of all time! Hahaha!" An asteroid in space breaks it's lower half off revealing an Eggman-like face. It's "nose" splits apart, to show energy chargers. The stem in the middle is the actual weapon, the other four are the chargers. The Eclipse Cannon fires at the moon and the moon's side is torn off and fire can be seen inside. "Bwahahahaha! Bwahahahaha!"

on Earth

Sonic, Amy and Tails are standing in a street. "Look!" Amy yelled pointing at the moon. "Half the moon is gone!"

"Eggman!" Sonic said clenching his fist tight. "He just doesn't give up."

"But how did he manage to harness all that energy?" Tails asked. Sonic thought about his encounter with Shadow earlier.

"It's gotta have something to do with the Chaos Emeralds...yeah, that's why they were looking for them!"

back with Eggman

Eggman started hitting the terminal. "Why are you so upset? Well, that was really impressive. You managed to create complete havoc on the whole planet!" Rouge told him.

"At this rate, the cannon will take too much time to charge up. If you want to unleash its full potential, you'll need all seven Chaos Emeralds." Shadow said.

"Look at you, throwing a tantrum like a little kid. How embarrassing." Rouge said.

"Don't forget your end of the bargain, Rouge! What about that last Chaos Emerald! We had a deal, right! So where is my Emerald?" Eggman yelled. Rouge picked up a newspaper after reading it over for a minute she threw it at Eggman.

"There! Look at that!"

"Why didn't you show me this before! What's this...? Is that...? It couldn't be..."

on Earth

Tails pulled out a Chaos Emerald. "Tails?" Sonic shouted.

"The Chaos Emeralds are like magnets," Tails started, "they have the power to attract each other. I can use that to find Eggman!"

"The three of you, FREEZE! Put your hands up in the air and get on the ground!"

"Tails, I'll take care of the police, while you look for a way outta here. Find Eggman!"

"Okay." Sonic and Tails run off, leaving Amy behind.

"The three of you...? That means me too!" Amy looked behind her and noticed that Sonic and Tails were gone. "Hey, wait!" Amy ran after them.

That's enough for now. See ya!
