Rocket's POV
I walked straight over to Sky Sanctuary, the third location in White Space. I saw what I assumed was the Red Sol Emerald floating right above Knuckles. I stepped up to the entrance and walked through it.
I started out grinding a rail when I came to three Dash Rings. I went through the center ring, neutralized three Eggrobos and continued on. I used a Trick Jump Panel to get to a different part of the level and went through three Dash Rings. I then jumped through a Rainbow Ring and landed on a different part of the level. I kept exploring, taking out enemies along the way. I came to a part of the level where some parts of the floor gave way and other parts were stable. I made sure to stay on the parts that looked absolutely stable. I took three Eggrobos right after working my way around the floor. I then ran ahead to avoid falling, used some springs to propel me to a zip-line I used to get to the goal, and was sent back to White Space.
After I was sent back, I saw color restore itself to Sky Sanctuary, Knux, and the Red Sol Emerald. I grabbed the emerald as it floated down to me and added it to my inventory along with the Yellow and Cyan Sol Emeralds. "Thanks, Rocket. I seriously thought I could save myself, but I was wrong. I feel like a bonehead," Knux said. "Knux, it's cool. Nobody's right all the time. Hell, I'm wrong 50% of the time," I replied. "Well, it's nice to know you're wrong part of the time," Knuckles said. "I am. Just don't say anything to princess. She'll definitely try to take advantage of that," I said. "I won't. Echidna's honor," Knux replied. "Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to save everyone, restore the other Sol Emeralds, collect the Chaos Emeralds, and restore this world for the second time," I said. "That's a pretty tall order. And what do you mean by 'for the second time'," Knux asked. "You'll have to ask Sonic about that," I said. I then walked off to who knows where.
