Ch.8: Betrayal

It didn't take long for the group to head back to the Floating Island, Knuckles opened up the hidden door and they walked inside. The jewel of trust was placed in the center of the floor, the fire of battle was set on top. For a moment everything seemed to glow as the jewel was drinking in the fire of battle. Softly Knuckles began to chant, and Shadow could feel that some of his chaos energy was being transfered to make the new emerald. He wasn't the only though. A still moment passed by and finally they could all see that that a new choas emerald had been formed.

Knuckles: Man, advanced magic is not one of my specialties, but it worked.

Rouge: We made the emerald question is now how do we use it?

A sound of an explosion answered her question. Everybody turned to see Shadow6000 standing by The Devoyer. The Devoyer was way past glowing green eyes. He almost looked like that dragon that was made out of the emerald's flame, but with strange differences. Shadow was now looking at his andriod counterpart with anger.

Shadow:I trusted him, and he betrays us!

Shadow6000: Sorry it had to be this way Shadow.

Shadow: TRAITOR!

The Devoyer: Enough of this game, Shadow6000 go get the chaos emerald.

Shadow6000 nods and dashes forward, only to be stopped by an incoming fist. The andriod is found landing hard on the floor struggling to get a look at his attacker, it was Knuckles. His fist had knocked the andriod off it's feet, but Shadow6000's punishment had just barely begun when Shadow stepped forward.

Shadow: getting ready to punch Shadow6000 Looks like this is the end.

A shocking pain suddenly goes up Shadow's spine and he find's himself on his knees. Shadow sees The Devoyer had just shot through him heading striaght for the emerald. Forgetting about the traitor for a moment Shadow went after The Devoyer. Before he reached the emrald he saw Knuckles pick it up and The Devoyer was coming his way.

Knuckles: throws chaos emerald to Shadow Shadow Catch!

Shadow reaches out and catches the emerald, but for some reason The Devoyer didn't stop, he plowed right into Knuckles and sunk his flaming fangs into the echidna's body.
