Sonic hadn`t expected Angel Island to be chained down to the ocean, with the Master Emerald being the power source for the construction site of Eggman`s base. "I can`t believe it! Eggman tied down this place and used your hunk of rock to power his stuff!" Sonic said. Knuckles, on the other hand, was ticked off. "Wait till I get my hands on him! I'll show him who the boss of this island is!" he grunted. Soon Sonic went with Tails to the site. Tails thought of a way to destroy it, while Sonic stayed on guard. "Be careful Tails." warned Sonic. "It doesn't seem like we can destroy it now, the Master Emerald is inside the site, protected by Eggman. It doesn't look safe to do it. Plus counting there's bombs laden underneath here." Tails informed. Sonic tapped his foot impatiently. "So? Why can't we just dig them out?" he asked. "It'd cause a massive hole in the earth." Tails said slowly. Sonic sighed, not yet knowing what to tell Knuckles. The sun was setting over the horizon, making that familiar pang inside him erupt. "Sonic? Are you okay?" Tails asked. The hedgehog shook his head, not wanting to worry his little bro again. "I'm fine, bud. Just a little tired."
Sonic didn`t want this. He never imagined this would happen. The evening was normal as usual, Knuckles didn`t take the news too lightly though. He became deep in troubled thought, a notable sign that he was anxious. Night fell, and that`s where it happened. Sonic was just settling in for a rest, but stopped when light engulfed him. The pain from the other night came back, but less rough. Before long, Sonic saw what he had become last night. "How… How did this happen?!" he coughed, surprised at the gruff voice that came with the werewolf-like appearance. For a split second, Sonic wanted to tell Tails, but decided for best to keep it to himself. "If I tell the gang, they'll only worry more. They might not even recognize me as…THIS." He reached for his bag, his arm stretching in the process. "Woah… Weird." Sonic didn't feel like resting now, he just wanted to get away from his problems briefly. He quietly zipped the tent flap open, and hearing Tails light snores in the other tent made him relax. Running into the lush forest brought his old adrenaline back, the late night sounds echoed through his ears and the moon reflected off the lake`s surface. This brought him to reach for the zip line, slightly dented with his weight. Skirting the plateau ended his run, stopping near the wide, bloated moon. "Maybe it`s not as bad. Whatever you do Eggman, well find you. You can`t hide your scheme forever."
"Whaddya mean, 'It's broken apart?" roared Eggman. "Your hasty actions led "Dark Gaia" to reawaken prematurely, making it`s fragments disperse throughout the globe, but of course you never thought of that." Orbot remarked. "Quiet! So what if it was awakened early, how can it restore itself?!" Eggman demanded as he grunted in frustration. "Perhaps you could set regional generators, meaning they would be able to collect the scattered remains of Dark Gaia together, you could move to plan 1B." suggested Orbot. "Fine, Fine! Whatever gets me quicker to building Eggmanland!" Eggman dismissed, commanding his Eggrobos to work. "I won`t let Sonic win, not this time!" Eggman growled.
