"What do you mean Knuckles is missing?"

Rouge the Bat stared at Tails in disbelief, concern for her boyfriend beginning to sky-rocket. All eyes seemed to aim at a certain blue hedgehog, who was leaning back against the back wall away from everybody. He was staring at the ground, and his arms were crossed. "I don't know." Tails says honestly. "Do you know anything Espio?" The purple chameleon shakes his head. "I don't, but Sonic does." Sonic's head whipped upward, and met eye-to-eye with the chameleon. "I have no idea what your talking about. So stop it. Now." The group was caught off guard by the tone of his voice, which seemed to be a lot darker than usual. Espio just shakes his head. "First Amy Rose is murdered, then we find out that Knuckles is missing." He tilts his head slightly to the side, eyeing the hedgehog. "Seems coincidental, does it not?" Sonic's emerald eyes narrowed, and his ears slightly flattened. "I take it you saw the video. Hate to break it to ya, but it wasn't me, so fuck off." Tails and Rouge exchange nervous looks, Sonic only talked dark like that when he was close to Dark Sonic. Tails decided it was time to change the subject. "Well, Knuckles missing isn't our only problem. We still don't know why Scourge is here, or why he's taking the Chaos Emeralds."

"Well I might know why." The group turns and is slightly shocked upon seeing Shadow enter the room. He walks up to Sonic. "It's because of you."


Fleetway scoffed, glaring at the black hedgehog. "We had a deal. I bring you the emerald-"

"And I serve your needs. Yes, I am aware of that." The dark hedgehog says, studying the green emerald, as if it's mystic aura had hypnotized him. Fleetway's eyes narrowed. "Well your not doing a very good job." he frowns. "And you certainly haven't done a good job of keeping quiet. They know about Scourge, and Sonic's smarter than what you think." He faces the dark hedgehog. "If he finds out what I'm doing, he'll-"

"Do not concern yourself with those matters. I had promised to stay unseen. I will not get you caught." The golden hedgehog seemed to sigh in relief. "Good. I just got him back. I don't want to loose him again." The black hedgehog smirked. "Oh do not fear, for you won't loose a thing."


King Acorn growled. "I know he did it. Why else would he run away like that?" he turns around and faces his lead soldier. "I want every inch of Mobius searched for him. Find him, and make sure that when you do have him he doesn't get away." The soldier nods. "Yes, your Majesty." The soldier turned and ran down the opposite way of the hallway. "I can't believe he would do something like this." The king said, rubbing his forehead. "Now what am I going to do with the throne?" he sighs and looks down. "I'm sorry dear Alina. I cannot fulfill my promise I made to you..."


Knuckles hit the cement wall with all his might. Nothing. Not even a scratch. He couldn't do this. No more. With all his energy wiped clean from him he fell, slid to his knees, and collapsed on the ground, groaning in despair. "I can't." he said. "I'm going to go insane if I spend another moment in here."

"Well red now you know how I feel." Knuckles shot upward, rolling around and came face-to-face with a golden hedgehog. His eyes widen in shock. "Fleetway!?" The golden hedgehog grins. "I would help you out here, but I just came to tie up loose ends." His grin widens. "Plus I don't like you." Knuckles just stares at him in pure shock, violet irises wide. Fleetway tilts his head slightly to the side. "Aww, what's wrong red? Does it hurt?" He laughs. "Too bad I can't end it for ya. On tight restrictions. Oh well." He turns and stops by the cell door. "Oh and one more thing. Sonic and his 'friends' will be here any second to rescue your sorry ass. Make sure to be extra kind to him." With a laugh, he disappears in a gold and red flash, leaving a dumbfounded Knuckles to hang on his words.


Sally glares at him. "Are you crazy!?" She pauses, "Oh wait, I forgot, you are." Fleetway returns the glare. "Oh how I wish I could kill you right now." She smirks. "Oh but you can't. Never know what Sonic may say." Fleetway walks towards her, a growl in his voice. "Mark my words, bitch. You might say you always get what you want, but I do get what I want." He then Chaos Controlled, leaving her to smirk at herself. "Sure, whatever you say goldie. You just wait. Wait till I get my hands on your precious Sonic."


Sonic remained quiet. Shadow stared at him. "He wants the emeralds to go back in time, for reasons I will not say."

"Why?" Sonic asks, his voice seemed quiet. Shadow just shakes his head. "You know exactly why. But to use the emeralds he needs someone with emerald experience. He plans on gathering all seven of the emeralds. He has three, as of now." Sonic nods slowly. "So the person he has to use the emeralds-"

"Is Knuckles." Shadow finished. Sonic shakes his head. "I don't know why he is concerning himself with this but I don't want or like it." Shadow blinks. "Why not." Sonic just looked at him. "He told you, didn't he?" Shadow nods. Sonic chuckles softly to himself. "You must not fully understand time travel then. Say he does accomplish it, and my family is saved, do you really think everything that has happened, will?" Shadow stares at him for a moment, thinking. It made sense. Sonic never would've met Tails, in turn the Freedom Fighters. Chris, or the planet Earth. Or even Shadow himself. Never would have met. Sonic nods. "We need to check on any place that Scourge could stay at. I don't want to fight right away though. I just want to talk." Tails, Espio, and Rouge just blinked. What did Sonic and Shadow just discuss, and why was Sonic keeping it a secrete?

Knuckles sat there for Chaos knows how long. He was beginning to think that Fleetway had just been lying, but when the cell door slammed open, he sighed in relief. "Knuckles!" Tails exclaims, running over to him. Knuckles just shakes his head. "It's about time." Rouge ran into the room, and Sonic and Shadow remained outside. "Espio found out you were missing and came to tell us." Tails explains. "How long have you been here?" Knuckles frowns, his eyes on the blue hedgehog who had stared back at him. "I don't know. A few days maybe. I have no idea." After undoing his chains, Tails and Rouge help him stand. "Let's get out of here." Tails says.

"It wasn't Scourge." They all stare at the red echidna in shock. "I-It wasn't?" Tails says. "Then who?" Knuckles scoffs. "That is not my concern at the moment." he walks up to Sonic. "How long have you been hiding Fleetway?"

A shocked, confused silence spread throughout the room. Sonic's eyes slightly widened. "How did you find out?" he asks, slightly shaky. Knuckles' eyes narrowed. "Well, if you must know, he came to me personally to tell me that you guys were on your way. He told me to be nice." Sonic just stared at Knuckles with a blank face. Everyone in the room was silent, still not believing it. "So," Knuckles says. "How long?" Sonic slightly frowns, blue lids slightly narrowing. "About a month before I found Shadow."

"What!?" Knuckles and Shadow exclaim simultaneously. Shadow stared at him. "He tried to kill me!" Sonic shrugs. "I honestly don't blame him. The only reason he didn't is because he didn't want to loose me." Knuckles glares at the blue hedgehog. "So you mean to tell me that you've been hiding the same psychopath that had tried to kill all of us." Sonic scoffs. "I'd give you an excuse but since you're such a thick-headed Knucklekead, you wouldn't believe it." Knuckles growls. "And what's that supposed to mean?" Sonic shrugs. "I don't know, you tell me. You always seem to believe the opposite of what anyone tells you." Knuckles leans forward, violet irises blazing. "Says the guy who let's a psychopath on the loose." Sonic glares at him. "He hasn't done anything."

"Sure." Knuckles says. "I bet you he's the one who killed Amy." It was Sonic's turn to growl. "He didn't do it! And neither did I. And besides, if he was gonna kill anyone it would be the first person on his list."

"And who's that?" Knuckles asks, raising an eyebrow. "I don't know," Sonic says, looking back at Shadow. "I wonder who." Shadow glares at him. "Then again," Sonic went on, closing his eyes and shrugging. "I can't blame him." Shadow growls at him, and everyone stares at him in shock. "Wonderful." Knuckles says. "It takes a psychopath to make a psychopath." Sonic scowls at him. "I'm not crazy. If anyone here is anything it's you and your stupidity." Knuckles eye twitched. "Your calling me stupid? Really? I thought it was your job to watch over the Chaos Emeralds. Yet here your anti has them." Sonic's eyes narrowed. "You know what? Your sitting here accusing me of the emeralds getting lost when, uh, who's guarding the Master Emerald? You're the guardian of the most powerful stone in the world, and you're not even there to protect it, then you yell at me?! Fuck you." Knuckles looked as if he was going to knock the hedgehog out. Sonic pressed on. "You're a self-proclaimed treasure hunter, yet you never left the floating island, unless stones and pebbles was your people's idea of treasure. But then again, your tribe wasn't exactly made of geniuses. No wonder you're the last of your kind." He leans forward. "And your calling me an idiot."

Knuckles growled lowly. "You know what? Fuck you! You aren't exactly innocent you know. Letting Fleetway loose, what kind of hero let's a maniac have freedom?! You're calling me stupid when all you ever do is things to get us all killed! That's why Amy died! Cause of you! And you wanna know what else, if you're such the hero, then how come you couldn't save Chris?"

"Knuckles!" Tails and Rouge exclaim, shocked that the red echidna would go that far. All was seen was a blue flash, before Knuckles found himself held up against the wall, the blue hedgehog squeezing his throat. His eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that at all. A dark aura was seen covering the blue hedgehog, his emerald eyes dark, a growl rising through his throat. Everyone in the room seemed to freeze, as they all tensed, fear for the echidna's life growing. When Sonic talked next, his voice was dark, sending chills down everyone's spines. "You, have no idea what I went through. I tried so hard to save him, and you fucking know it." Knuckles blinks in shock, Sonic was pissed, that was no exception, and the echidna began to believe he had just went too far. "If you ever think that I didn't try, and that I don't blame for myself for his death, think again." He leans closer, and Knuckles felt his heart pounding in his chest. "So say it again, it'll be your last words."

"S-Sonic, please stop." Tails says. "Forget it. Please. Just don't hurt him. Please." Sonic only frowned, before letting go of Knuckles. He put both of his hands up, glaring at the echidna. "Fine." he says, growling. He then turned to the door, opening it, letting the powerful blast of wind slam it shut behind him as he ran off.


Miles frowned, eyeing the tape. "Why, may I ask, are you even involving yourself in these matters?" Scourge frowned. "Is it any of your business?" Miles rolls his eyes. "Just saying. Fiona is pissed because you are once again, hiding things from us, and still having us do your dirty work."

"Fuck Fiona. Now see if you can find out where that tape came from." Miles just sighs, placing the tape in his computer. After a few minutes, he frowns. "This video is a fake." Scourge quickly looks over to him. "What?"

"Just what I said. Someone made this video on purpose. How they did it, I don't know." Scourge frowns. "Find out who made it then." Miles rolls his eyes again. "It's not that simple. It may take a while." Scourge growled. "Well find out who made it, get to it then!" Miles shook his head, but went on to look it up anyway.

About a half hour later, he grabbed his computer mouse and clicked on something. He gasped. "Scourge!"


Sonic growled silently to himself. "Who the heck goes to someone's house at one o'clock in the morning?" he grumbles. Opening the front door, he was about to send this person away, yet froze as there stood Scourge the Hedgehog. "Wha-" Sonic starts but Scourge puts his hand up. "I know who killed Amy. And I know why." Sonic stared at him in shock. "You-"

"It was Shadow."
