Shikokou, Kyukai

Music - Tropical Resort Map from Sonic Colours

"Hey! You get back here! Come on!"

Yuki took off and tried to get away from Kaori. He leapt off of the buildings, hearing Kaori shouting at him to get back in the distance. Eventually he couldn't hear her anymore, so he assumed it was safe to stop. He sat down on a tall skyscraper to observe the city.

"Hmph. Humans are such pitiful things." Yuki spoke under his breath.
"Hey, you! Get down from there!" Yuki looked below to see that Kaori had caught up with him. "What, you want me to climb up there and get you?"
Just ignore that idiot. Yuki thought to himself.
Kaori let out a deep sigh of frustration. "Alright!" She took a few steps back and looked up at the skyscraper. "AAAHHH!" Kaori shouted as she ran up and grabbed it. She was only a few feet above ground, then slid down. She got back up and kept doing it several more times. The people walking by watched as she kept trying to climb the tower. Eventually she gave up.
Yuki looked below and saw Kaori. "Hmph." He leapt down and landed perfectly.
"Yuki! Finally!" Yuki pulled Kaori up and punched her in the face, knocking her back down.
"Listen! People have never done anything for me, so I don't mind what happens to them! I'm all that matters in the world, no one else deserves to exist!"
"How could you say something so awful? Everyone deserves a chance at life. You and me do, right?"
"I was talking about you especially, idiot!"
"Hey!"
"Well what do ya wanna be called?"
"I'm Kaori." Kaori bowed in traditional Japanese style. "Alright, I've given you my name, now what's yours?"
"You really thought I'd give you my name? Just give up. If you wanna help me out, you can help by leaving me alone, moron!"
"Cut that out! I told you my name!" Kaori looked up at the sky. The sun was setting and the sky was now pink with yellowish clouds. Man, have I been putting up with this guy this long? I'm really not surprised, it's seemed like I've been here for a life time.

Sonic and Tails had returned from their test flight and were back in Tails' lab. Tails was playing around with his Miles Electric mumbling to himself. "Alright, I'll just iron out the bugs on this radar and then we can…"
"Hey Tails! What's up? Something about a radar?"
"How'd you guess? In the past few weeks I've been working on a radar for my device that can search for the chaos emeralds. I call it the Chaos Radar!"
"Really? Why didn't you tell me this before? Let's try it out!"
"Hold on, Sonic. I was just fixing any bugs I overlooked… Just a little bit more… Yep, it should be good to go!" Tails turned the Miles Electric which was facing the back around and pressed a button. The screen showed a grid map, and there was a slow beeping sound. "We just need to move around the map on the radar and it'll search for emeralds. If the beeping sound gets faster, that means we're getting closer to an emerald and vice versa. This'll really help us out finding the emeralds." Tails moved the circle pad on the system to move the map around. BEEP… BEEP… BEEP… the beep sounded every three seconds. Then suddenly, it picked up. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. "Alright! We're getting warmer!" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP "Just a bit further…" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP "There's one, right there!" Tails shouted out.
"Where is it?" Sonic asked in excitement, and snatched the system out of Tails' hands.
"Not too far, it's located in the outskirts of Shikokou."
"Awesome, come on! Let's find that emerald!" Sonic shouted in joy as he pointed to the door.
"Let's take the Death Cyclone. We wanna make sure we'll be fine."

The Death Cyclone took to the skies once more in search of the chaos emerald. The Miles Electric was sitting on the dashboard with the Chaos Radar on, like a GPS. "It'll be about a minute until we get there. There shouldn't be anything getting in the way during the trip, so it'll be smooth sailing." Tails stated as he was piloting the robot.
"Nothing gettin' in the way, huh? Then what's that?"
"Huh? What is it?"
"Um… Take a look for yourself…" Sonic asked pointing outside.

Sonic did take a look, and he was greeted by a huge, centipede creature flying in the sky, but it looked strange. Not just because it was a huge flying centipede but also the face looked freaky and it's colour was unlike regular centipedes.

"No way! What is it?"
"I'd say it's a centipede, but if so, it's the biggest anthropod I ever seen."
"Whatever, shoot now, think later! Let's take this creep down!" Tails pushed the button for the machine gun and then the fingers on the robot's left hand began rapidly firing bullets. RAT-A-TAT-TAT – but nothing happened. The enemy was unscratched.
"Oh man! Looks like it's immune to the machine gun!"
Sonic chuckled softly. "Hey Tails, let me have a shot! I wanted to have some fun!"
Tails opened up the cockpit window. "Good luck, Sonic!"

Sonic jumped out of the cockpit, grabbed onto the robot's left foot, leapt up, climbed it's right hand and then leapt up onto the roof. Sonic did a fighting position with a smirk on his face. "You want some of me? No problem!" He leapt off the robot and rolled into a ball spinning in mid-air. He locked onto his target and then sped up, spinning towards it. Upon impact, he rolled down it from head to tail, cutting it in the middle as he went down. Then, when he reached the end he leapt up and charged towards it. "Thanks, I've gotten a kick out of this!" He struck with a full-force kick, finishing it off. Then he dashed forward and landed on the top of the robot. As the centipede foe fell to the ground, it exploded in purple.

"Sonic, was that… a demon?"
"Could be. I dunno if it had anything to do with Ema-cabbage, but right now I just wanna get that emerald."

The Death Cyclone reached it's destination not too long after the battle. Sonic leapt off it's roof and Tails opened up the cockpit window and flew out of it, grabbing the Miles Electric on his way out. He looked at the Chaos Radar again. "Alright, just a few miles in that direction…" Tails informed, pointing ahead of him.

The two took off and reached the emerald. It was the colour purple, but it looked translucent instead of opaque like it usually does. Unfortunately, Sonic didn't take the time to notice. "Yup, there it is!" He ran towards it.
"Wait, Sonic! It looks different!"
Sonic picked it up right away. "It looks like a chaos emerald to me. Well, that's the first one!" And then…
SMASH!

"What the-? No way!" The emerald shattered into several pieces. Just suddenly – all Sonic was doing was holding it. Sonic crouched down to examine the pieces. Tails approached Sonic and examined too.
"It doesn't make sense to me. Why would it just break in someone's hand?"
Sonic picked up a shard and held it up to show Tails. "Tails, take a look! Not only is the colour more faint than usual, but you can see through it a little. I think maybe it's fake!"
Tails applied his palm to his forehead. "That's what I was trying to tell you!"
"Well what do you know, you figured it out. I guess you're smarter than I thought."
"Uuugh… Is that…?"
Emakarou revealed himself to Sonic and Tails, leaving them trapped. Tails began to quiver in fear as the demon stood before the two of him. Even Sonic looked intimidated, a rare event.

"I don't like this guy either, Tails. I hate to admit it, but right now I'm really scared…"
Emakarou held up the real purple emerald. "Is this what you're looking for?"
"Hey, that's the chaos emerald! The real one! Give it to us now!"
"Okay, here it is! And while we're at it, how about I give you a million rings? Think about it, why would I just give the emerald to you?"
"Seesh! Take a chill pill."
"I have something else…" Emakarou revealed that he had found the white chaos emerald.
"No way, you've already found two!" Sonic stopped to think for a quick moment. "Now that I think about it, you must've set up that fake emerald as a trap! This was all part of the plan!"
"Congratulations! I used the power of the chaos emerald to create a fake duplicate of the emerald I had in my possession. It's easy to create a fake emerald, but even easier to use it to trick imbeciles like you."
"Now listen here! My friend here can build robots and machines!" Sonic folded his arms and looked at his shoes. "Well I never went to school but… That's not the point!"
"Enough of the talk and get with the action! Looks like the first example of my power I gave you wasn't enough for you, so I'll leave you with one last example." Emakarou clenched the two emeralds in his hands as the two heroes stood and watched to see what he was about to do. Then, something happened – a time portal opened up.
"A time portal… So… he can perform time travel!"
Then he clutched Sonic's arm aggressively. "Now, let me show you what I can really do!"
"Wait, what are you—" Sonic has no time to react before he was unwillingly pulled into the time portal.
"SONIC! HEY, GIVE HIM BACK!" Tails shouted at the time portal when it closed. Tails was still recovering from his experience. "Where did this guy come from? What does he want? But what's most important right now, what's he gonna do with Sonic?"

Shikokou, Kyukai

Music - Event: 3 Black Noises from Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic and Emakarou came out another time portal, somewhere in the future. Emakarou landed on his feet, but Sonic fell to the ground face-first. When he got up, he couldn't believe his eyes. He was at Shikokou in a demolished state – the buildings and structures were collapsing or had already collapsed, people's disenigrated bodies were lying on the ground and the sky was full of depressing gray clouds. This was the worst thing Sonic had ever witnessed – it took a while for him to react.

"Everything, Everyone… The city is all gone! You've demolished everything! That's why you lead me here, isn't it? This is what you're going to do to the future! Take a look at this. Are you happy?"
"Ha ha ha! Of course I am, the sight of the city burnt to the ground is too wonderful - Unfortunately, it's only in an alternate timeline. Although considering what you're up against, I don't think you'll have much luck changing this."
"You're a monster! I thought Eggman was no good, you're a hundred times worse than him!"
"And that's not all - This is only Shikokou. By now I will have destroyed not only Kyukai but the rest of the world."
"So wait, what date is it? Now, in the future?"
"The date I brought you to is December 1, 2515. Exactly five hundred years after the dreaded day."
"The dreaded day?"
"I think you know what it means."
"Just tell me. Tell me everything!"
"You little bastard. Fine, if you say so. You know about the chaos emeralds, I take it?"
"Yeah, I know about them. If I collect all seven, I'll be able to transform – It's called a Super transformation."
"You fool! All this time you've been misusing the emeralds, and you don't even know it!"
"W-what? Misusing them?"
"Let me start from the start. You see, the chaos emeralds were created in Takashima thousands of years ago by another ancient demon of my blood. The emeralds were originally created for evil, to destroy cities. I come from a family of demons, all of which have been collecting the emeralds to destroy the world."
"For evil? You're kidding!"
"With all seven emeralds gathered, the world can be destroyed. And this is what it'll look like once I have destroyed it!"
"Wait, tell me the rest."
"I was the second last in the family. The only ones still alive are me and the last, who was born soon after me. When I was defeated in the war and was sealed away, I awoke early from my sleep. With all seven emeralds I can transform Super. The Super transformation was originally meant to destroy the world, and you've been using it to protect it. You fool!"
"I don't care if it's for evil, I use the chaos emeralds for good, it doesn't matter what you say! I've even saved the world heaps of times with them! So just leave!"
"You'll have to make me!"

Music - Boss: Gun Mobile from Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic and Emakarou were staring each other down before the battle. After a while, Emakarou grew weary.
"Enough!" The two started to fight head-on. Sonic threw several punches but none of them connected due to his opponent's incredible reflexes. When he was open, Emakarou attacked Sonic with a kick to the lower torso, causing him to fly backward. Sonic managed to land on his feet, but he didn't have much more energy to fight. Awaiting his doom as Emakarou ominously walked toward him, Sonic took the time to think to himself.
Uh oh, I'm in trouble now! I can't fight him, not like this. I gotta try to run away. It's my only option.

Emakarou unexpectedly broke out of the walk and dashed towards his opponent ready to strike. Sonic quickly got up and tried to back up, hoping he didn't get hit. Soon he regained some of his energy. Only a tiny bit, but it was enough to pick up the pace. He curled up into a ball and rolled in one spot, charging his spin dash. Then, the moment before he was about to get hit with a kick, He rolled a few feet away, and it seemed he was getting away for a moment. Unfortunately, Emakarou was capable of teleporting, and he teleported towards Sonic. He broke out of the spin dash and did a backflip to evade another attack. Suddenly, he found an opportunity to strike, so he landed three full-force punches to the chest.

"Was that supposed to merely tickle me or was that actually an attack?"
"Oh no…!"
In the blink of an eye, Emakarou shot his fist towards Sonic's stomach to stop him for good. Sonic was left aching in pain as he barely managed to stand up.
"I can't fight anymore…" Sonic weakly said as he collapsed to the ground.
"I thought you would have learned from last time not to mess with me, but then you decide to throw that weak excuse for an attack at me."
"What… What are you going to do now?"
"I don't think it would be worth letting you live. I'd much rather leave you here while I go back so you can reflect on what a fool you are."
"So… I could stay here… forever?"
He opened up a time portal to take him back to the present. "Don't worry, in a matter of a year this is what the world will be anyway." He walked into the portal leaving Sonic behind.
"No! Don't leave me here!" Sonic crawled forward hoping he would reach the portal in time to return to the present. It's no good. There's no way I can reach it time… I need a bit of energy left… Just a tiny bit… I can't stay here! Then suddenly, as the portal was about to close, Sonic felt a tiny surge of power left. Not dawdling for a split second, he sprung forward praying he would make it time and, at the very last moment, reached out and got pulled into the portal.
