I have finally reached the Master Emerald Shrine. The shrine itself was on a separate chunk of land, with only a single wooden rope bridge connecting it to the rest of Angel Island. The Master Emerald is just within reach! As I approached, I saw the lazy guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles, daydreaming as I casually walked over. Getting the Master Emerald shouldn't be difficult. After all, Knuckles has a brain the size of an pea.

I then noticed that my fur was much darker than it was before. If I'm gonna get pass Knuckles, I better look like my 'weaker' self. I temporarily changed my fur back to its brilliant cobalt blue. Knuckles stood up instantly, much to my surprise. Did he sense my negative energy?

"Hey Knux" I said to the echidna.

Knuckles remained in his fighting stance. Even if he did attack me, I could easily throw him off the island, couldn't I?

"Sonic, you know you shouldn't be here," said Knuckles.

"Aww, how come?" I asked. I tried to sound as disappointed as I could.

"I'm picking up a lot of negative chaos energy, it's dangerous for the Master Emerald."

Oh Knuckles. You're so stupid.

I couldn't help but laugh at the idiotic echidna. Like I said; his brain was the size of a pea.

"You know Knux, you're not the smartest tool in the shed now, are you?" I said.

I'm getting bored of this charade. Time to get the point.

I smirked at the red knucklehead as my fur changed back to its midnight blue colour. The little bastard shrunk down for me as a lunged at him. I punched his face. He then punched my jaw, causing me to stagger back, but, as I expected, it didn't hurt that much at all. We kept going at it for about five minutes, until I was certain that Knuckles was down for good.

"Oh come on, Knux! You can do better than that, surely!" I said to the echidna.

I laughed as the worthless mortal pushed himself back up. This is the Master Emerald Guardian, and he couldn't even hurt me. Such a disappointment.

I punched the pathetic echidna in the gut, laughing as he dropped to his knees, coughing up blood. I walked over, knowing damn well I am victorious.

"So much for being a guardian, eh Knuckles?" I spat. I kicked Knuckles in the face, just to add insult to injury.

"I'd say it's been nice knowing ya, Knux, but it hasn't been haha!" I laughed at the beaten guardian.

I was about to kill Knuckles before I felt someone suddenly kick me. I went flying into the dirt. I picked myself up just in time to see Shadow use Chaos Control to escape with Knuckles. I slammed my fist into the ground in anger.

"You haven't beaten me yet!" I shouted to angrily to no one in particular. I'm so...frustrated. Frustrated that those bastards won't stay out of it. Why did Shadow come to Angel Island? Are they planning my downfall? These questions remained persistent as I teleported back down to the ground below. I'm so full of anger that I wanted to destroy.

To kill.

Taking note of my surroundings, I noticed that both Central City and Westopolis were close. Now, which one is lucky enough to be destroyed for my pleasure? As I pondered over this, Dark came back.

Do you not feel the chaos energy coming from Central City?

Dark was right in that. There was chaos energy coming from that direction.

Fine. Central City it is. If there really is a chaos emerald there, then no doubt that those brats will show up. Then I can kill them all.

As I headed towards the populated city, a spirt block my path, angering me even more. It was Tikal. I can't kill her, unfortunately, because she's already dead but...maybe I can hurt her.

"Oh look, it's the dead girl" I spat at her with a cocky tone.

"You will not harm innocent people, Sonic, you don't do that."

I nearly stopped breathing. I don't know why but for some, unknown reason, I feel that she is right. I don't, well I didn't. Maybe but how is this relevant to our conversation? Maybe I'm overthinking this.

She is lying, Sonic Dark reassured, those people are not innocent.

"Those ignorant bastards are far from innocent, Tikal" I said.

The spirit gasped in horror. I'm right and I know that I'm right.

"Sonic, nobody here is evil, please stop!" Begged Tikal. This is so amusing for me.

She was responsible for flooding Station Square, remember?

Dark is right. Always right.

"You killed thousands in Station Square because you couldn't control the monster you made!" I shouted at her.

Tikal looked very upset. But I don't care.

"Now then" I said wickedly, walking over to the spirit. I smiled wickedly, mainly to reveal my razor sharp fangs. I'm amused by Tikal's fear as she backed away from me slowly. She didn't run, or at least didn't try.

"So, mind telling me where the Master Emerald is?" I asked.

She must know. She lives inside of it!

"I-I...I don't know" replied Tikal.

Seriously?

She's lying.

'Do you not think I know that, Dark?'

"Liar!" I shouted at her, "tell me the truth now!"

She burst into tears. What a crybaby.

"I honestly don't know Sonic, please stop."

"Fine. Be like that."

I raised my Chaos Spear and sliced through Tikal's left arm. She screamed in pain as the crimson liquid ran down her arm. How delightful!

"Tell Knuckles to meet me in Westopolis with the Master Emerald in one hour or they'll all pay the price!"

I used Chaos Control and teleported away, towards Central City.

A/N I really need to update this story more. Unfortnately I'm on exam leave so I won't have time work on them until the end of May.

Please R&R
