Well, I'm back and ready to show you the next chapter. I don't own sonic or Sega. If I did, I would make some changes here.

Chapter 1: the meteor shower

Tail, Amy, and cream and cheese were outside at station Square Park. It was dark and the three of them were setting up a blanket and tails brought a camera with me. According to the forecast that they saw earlier today, there was going to be a meteor shower coming through station square.

Tails decided that they should go out to station Square Park tonight and see the meteor shower. Sonic decided not to go, saying that he has other things to do and knuckles was busy guarding the master emerald from the sneaking batgirl, Rouge. Amy and cream wanted to see the meteor shower so they went with tails. They got everything ready and here they were, ready to see it coming down.

"How much longer do we have to wait, tails?" asked cream.

"Not long now, cream." Said tails. "The meteors should be coming through any minute now."

"This would so romantic if sonic were here to enjoy this with me." Amy said. "Soon the whole sky will be filled with shooting stars."

"This only occurs once after several years. So were really lucky to be here." Tails said.

Just then, white shooting stars came falling from the sky. It was a beautiful site to see.

"Wow, it's starting." Said cream. "Chao, chao." Said cheese, excited.

"It's beautiful." Said Amy happily.

"It's a good thing I brought a camera." Said tails.

While the gang was enjoying the meteors, a small golden light was falling from the sky with the meteors. Tails, Amy, and Cream took notice to the mysterious light.

"That is a weird looking meteor." Said Amy.

"If I had known better, I say it is heading right for us." Cream said.

And she was right. The gold meteor was heading for right for them! They all ducked to avoid the meteor and it crashed somewhere in the park. They notice there was smoke coming from the meteor. So the gang went to investigate.

Meanwhile, in another part of station square, sonic the hedgehog was doing his daily run. He was about ready to go back to tails place when something caught his eye. Sonic stop and looked up to the sky to see the meteors coming down. Sonic knew he saw something different up there, so he went to a nearby tree for a closer look.

He then found what caught his eye. It was a small golden light that was with the meteors. But this one was heading for station Square Park! Sonic then felt something sparkling and took out his green chaos emerald. It was shining brightly with the golden light, as if there was something important inside of it.

"I better check it out." Sonic said. He put away his chaos emerald and ran at the speed of sound towards station Square Park.

Just outside station square sat a floating island known as Angel Island. In the middle of the island sat the master emerald, guarded by none other than Knuckles the Echidna. He takes his job of guarding the master emerald very seriously. His strength and the power of his fists make him someone not to mess with lightly. He also has a short temper (like Me. what a coincidence.) so whenever someone makes him angry, his raging face and fists will be the last thing you ever see. Unless of course you can move at the speed of sound.

Knuckles was relaxing on the stone floor in front of the master emerald. Sleeping away. Little did he know that there was a certain batgirl flying quietly through the sky, sneaking on the master emerald. That batgirl was none other than rouge. She landed quietly behind the master emerald, looking behind it to see if knuckles was still sleeping.

Well, this should be easier than I thought. Thought rouge. She then stepped on a stick with a loud snap! Knuckles opened his just in time to see rouge getting the master emerald.

"Hey! Get away from the master emerald!" shouted knuckles. He charged at her. But she simply jumps out of the way, making knuckles fall to the ground with a loud thump!

"Well, knucke. You haven't changed." Said rouge.

Knuckles got up, getting angry. He jumped back up to the master emerald saying "you're not getting this emerald. You better leave before there's more trouble."

Rouge just smiled saying, "oh come on, knucke, you know I can't stand having to fight you all the time. Isn't there anyway we can come to an agreement?"

"Sorry batgirl, but this emerald is too important for you to have It." said knuckles.

As knuckles and rouge arguing, as per usual, the master emerald was shining so brightly that knuckles and rouge took notice of this.

"I've never seen the master emerald glow this bright before." Said knuckles. "It probably means that something is going to happen."

And something did happen. The meteor shower started and a small golden light was seen through the meteors. The master emerald was somehow reacting to the golden light, as if there was something on it.

Knuckles looked at the master emerald and back to the meteors. "There's something in that golden light. I better check it out."

"I'll come along too. After all, there might be something valuable in that golden light." Said rouge.

Knuckles sighed. "Alright. But don't get any funny ideas, rouge."

So they both headed where the golden light was headed for. Which, of course, was heading straight for station Square Park.

Shadow the hedgehog was standing on top of a hill outside station square. He crossed his arms and was in deep thought. Nothing much has happen around here. Eggman was out there somewhere, probably trying to come up with another one of his "evil schemes" To take over the world. G.U.N.S was still keeping an eye out for eggman, making sure that he won't bring harm to the citizens of station square.

Shadow was concerned about finding the seventh chaos emerald. So far, only six emeralds were found: eggman had one, sonic and his friends have four, knuckles has one and shadow has one. But the seventh one was nowhere to be found. Sonic, G.U.N.S, and eggman where searching all over the globe for the emerald. But none of them had a hair nor sight or clue as to where the emerald is. It occurred to shadow that somehow; the emerald had vanished and ended up someplace else. Where, no one knows.

Shadow knew that there was some sort of reason why the emerald vanishes from the planet. But, he was uncertain as to why it vanished. Shadow was determined to find the emerald somehow. He just wasn't sure where to begin.

Finding that chaos emerald was even harder than I thought. Even when I can use chaos control, I still don't know where it's at. Thought shadow. But he wasn't one to give up. He would find it, no matter what.

Just then, his red chaos emerald started to glow. He took it out and found that the emerald was glowing at the meteor shower. What do the meteors have to do with this? Shadow thought. Then, the golden light in the middle of the meteors caught his eye and the chaos emerald was glowing even more brightly at it.

That golden light must be where the last chaos emerald is. Thought shadow. I better get over there and check it out for myself. He then ran at full speed to where the golden light was headed.

Tails, Amy and Cream got to where the gold meteor had crashed. Just then, they saw that sonic was there and they ran to him.

"Sonic, what are doing here?" asked tails.

"I came here to check out this golden meteor." Said sonic. "My chaos emerald started to glow and it was coming from the meteor. So, I ran here to see what it was."

Then knuckles and rouge came. They were a bit surprised to see the others. "You guys came to check out that meteor too?" asked knuckles

"Yes. But, what are doing here, knuckles?" asked Cream.

Before Knuckles could answer, rouge beat him to it. "Well, the master emerald started to glow brightly when the meteor shower started. Just then, we spotted a golden light and the master emerald was somehow reacting to it. So, me and knucke here came here to check it out."

"I was just about to tell them that." Said knuckles angrily.

"It appears we all came to check out this golden meteor." Said shadow as he made his way toward the others. They all turned their heads toward him. "There's obviously something in there that made us all come here."

They all nodded their heads and started to make their way to where the meteor had crashed. When they got there, there was no meteor there. Instead, there was a person lying there.

They ran toward him to see if he was okay. He was a green hedgehog with blue eyes and black headlights on the tips of his quills. He had white gloves on with two inhibiter rings on his wrists. He also wore shoes that where just like shadow's, except that these were red and they had a golden belt buckle on them. But, what surprised everyone, even shadow, was that on the hedgehog hand was a blue chaos emerald.

"What happened to him?" said tails.

"I don't know but we got to help him." Said Amy. "Cream, your house is closest."

"Okay. We'll go tell my mother about this." Cream said and with her big ears, went flying straight to her house.

As the others were helping the mysterious hedgehog, shadow was in deep thought. How did he get that chaos emerald? Where did he come from? Shadow knew he had to wait until he recovered. Then, he would get the answers he needed. Everyone got the green hedgehog up and headed for Cream's house.

That's it for now. Who is this green hedgehog and why does he have a chaos emerald? You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out! Hope I didn't leave you guys on a cliffhanger. You probably already know who this hedgehog is, but I won't give away the answer. Anyway, leave a review please and tell me what you think of it so far. Until next time, catch you all on the flipside!
