"We're approaching the signal's location." said Tails.
"Be ready, Wave." Shadow said, stopping next to Wave. They were watching the Sky Shadow approach. "We have to defeat them...
"...at all costs." Jason said. "We can't let Wave misuse the Emeralds. There's no telling what she'll do with them."
"I'm ready." Wave said, turning and walking away. "Are you?"
"Of course I'm ready." Shadow said. "I'm more powerful than you give me credit for."
Wave stopped. "Oh, really?"
"Just hold them off for a while." Shadow said. "Get them weak. Then the both of us will have the pleasure in finishing them off."
"This fight may be the most difficult yet." Jason said. "Not only has our enemy proven to be very powerful and very lethal but she is still our friend. I hope we can turn her back and not end up killing her. Though we have just witnessed how serious she is by the condition of Blaze." Jason continued. "The condition of Blaze is also a sign that our Wave is still in there somewhere. If she had wanted Blaze to be dead, she'd be dead. I have not doubt."
"I hear you." Sonic said. "And you're right. Wave isn't totally lost if Blaze is still breathing."
"So, what do we do?" asked Tails.
"I'm not sure yet." Jason answered. "I'll think of something."
Tails positioned the Sky Shadow over the Emerald's location. Jason and the others grabbed their E-Gears and exited the ship, making their way to the final confrontation with Wave and their unknown foe.
