Shadow was sprinting across the platforms. He jumped off a pipe and fell on the ground hard.

"I'm okay………"

"Well I'M not!" A whiny voice said from beneath Shadow. Underneath Shadow was a small bee with a pilot's helmet on.

"Whoops…" Shadow got off and helped the bee to his feet. "You okay?"

"Note to you. Lay off the chilidogs for awhile." The bee said. "………………………AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! OMYGOSH IT'S SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG! MYNAME'SCHARMY! CANIHAVEYOURAUTOGRAPH!?" The hyperactive bee jolted.

"No. What're you even doing here?" Shadow asked. "And what's with this crud heap?"

"Okay for your response: Aww Man! For question 1: I'm looking for discs to help Vector with his defective hearing. And for question 2: Espio said you blew it up!"

"……………What?" Shadow asked, raising a fist.

"Um…………NEVERMIND!"

"That's what I thought." Shadow then pulled his fist back and slammed it into the young insects' face. He ran off into the deeper parts of the island.

Charmy regained consciousness. "Wow…………………………I WAS JUST PUNCHED BY SHADOW! COOL!" He exclaimed, paying no attention to his throbbing black eye.

Once again, Shadow found Charmy again but couldn't get rid of him this time. When he was just yards away from the emerald, he spotted a newspaper. He calmly picked it up, rolled it up, and hit Charmy over the head. Charmy fell to the floor, positively unconscious. When Shadow touched the emerald, he was instantly crushed by a boulder. A small yellow figure in a cape approached the emerald. It was……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………RAY!

"SCORE! Mighty! I got the emerald!" The young rodent called.

"PERFECT! Now just to find the last 6! And then we get our REVENGE on Team Chaotix! THEY WILL REGRET EVER FIRING US!" Mighty and Ray both laughed maniacally. They stole Shadow's other 3 emeralds and put a sticky note saying i.o.u. on his forehead. They also taped Charmy to the wall and force fed him sauerkraut.

"That's revenge on Charmy! Now just 2 to go!" Ray chuckled evilly.
