Wave returned to Shadow with the final Chaos Emerald.
"Did you get it?" asked Shadow.
"You bet." Wave answered, holding up the purple Emerald.
"Perfect." Shadow said. "Now all we have to do is bring them to Marek in Mexico and we can finally rule this planet."
"We may need to hurry, though." Wave said. "I may have killed one of their teammates so they're probably not too far behind."
"No matter." Shadow said. "We'll just finish them offbefore we go to Mexico."
"I'd be careful, Shadow. Jason isn't as weak as he looks."
"Oh, please. I'm the ultimate lifeform. I can handle anything."
"I hope so." Wave said.

Blaze sat up in bed slowly, holding her side where her wound was. It had been wrapped in bandage so it didn't hurt as much. She looked around and was able to figure out that she was in the Medical Bay.
"You're awake." Jason said, entering the room. "You okay?" He sat down in a chair next to Blaze's bed. "You passed out on the way here."
"I'm better." she answered. "Did you do the badages?"
"Yeah."
"How did you know what to do?"
"After we defeated Mekkaku and I went home, I figured that if our missions were going to get more dangerous I might as well do some research. So I read up on to treat wounds."
"Well, it came in handy. Thanks"
"Don't mention it." Jason said. "Though I'd prefer it if you sit out the next fight."
"You don't have to ask me twice." Blaze said. "How do we know where to go?"
"Well, when you distracted Wave, Tails planted a small tracking device on the Emerald." Jason explained. "And we're almost there."
