"Jump into the river!" Shadow yelled then jumped into the river. Tails and Knuckles followed but Sonic stayed on land. He gulped and stared at the river. He feared the water and he feared the piranah. The jaguars were advancing on him. He turned away from the river and started running again. "No, Sonic come on!" Shadow called to Sonic but Sonic kept running. Tails looked at Shadow.

"Did you know that jaguars can swim?" Tails asked. Shadow nodded.

"Yes, but that was not my plan. This was my plan," Shadow pointed at the water in front of him. Tails saw something moving in it. Tails gasped.

"What is it?" Tails asked.

"Those are dolphins, we must ride them to escape," Shadow replied and grabbed onto one. "They want to help us. Dolphins are the most intelligent animals on Earth," Shadow said. Tails nodded.

"I know that," Tails said, as he grabbed onto one. Knuckles also grabbed onto one.

"What if crocodiles came?" Knuckles asked.

"The dolphins know what to do," Shadow answered then the dolphins took off under water. Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles held their breath. The jaguars jumped into the water and roared loudly.

Sonic kept running until he heard no more roaring and loud footsteps behind him. "Looks like they're gone. Well, of course they're gone, I'm the fastest thing alive after all," Sonic said with a huge smile on his face. Suddenly, he realized that he was all alone in the deep, deep Amazon. Sonic gulped and frowned. "Why didn't I listen to Tails and Knuckles when they said going to the Amazon was a bad idea?" Sonic asked himself, as he walked. He pushed huge leaves out of the way and stumbled many times. He stopped and found another banana tree. "Excellent," Sonic said, as he began to climb it. When he made it to the top there were a bunch of bananas everywhere all over the tree. Sonic smiled and began to eat them. He suddenly heard a tiny growl from beside him. He turned to the side and saw a baby panther sitting there. "Oh..." Sonic said quietly. He stared at it. "Come on little guy...do you want some?" Sonic handed the panther a banana. The baby panther swatted it away angrily. Sonic scratched the back of his head and frowned. "Well...I better get going. Your mother might be hear any minute," Sonic climbed down the tree and made his way away from it. "Being alone is...terrible, especially when you're in the Amazon," Sonic sighed.

The dolphins dropped Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles off somewhere else. "That was actually fun," Knuckles said then looked at Shadow. "Shadow...I mean Shad Shua, do you have a chaos emerald?" Knuckles asked him. Shadow shook his head.

"No, I brought one with me but then I tossed it into the river," Shadow replied.

"YOU WHAT???!!!" Tails yelled, making birds and what not fly out of the trees.

"I just threw it into the river," Shadow answered. Tails sighed and shook his head. Knuckles was about to drink some more river water but Tails stopped him.

"Don't," Tails said.

"Why not?" Knuckles asked.

"We could get...Hole-in-the-Head Disease..." Tails answered quietly with fear in his voice. Knuckles stood up and stared at Tails.

"What's that?" Knuckles asked.

"I don't feel like talking about it...it's very bad," Tails replied and began to walk. "Oh, and watch out from getting mosquito bites, you might get the Yellow Fever," Tails warned. Knuckles and Shadow nodded and followed Tails.

Sonic sighed, as he looked around. He was in the middle of nowhere in the Amazon, alone. Suddenly he heard some moving in a near by bush. He looked and a Bush Dog emerged from it and headed straight for him. "Hey!" Sonic exclaimed, as it hit him. Sonic fell onto his back and quickly got up. "This is crazy, I need to get out of this Amazon!" Sonic shouted and started running his fastest.

"I'm worried about Sonic," Tails told Shadow and Knuckles.

"I'm sure we'll find him," Knuckles yawned. It was getting dark.

"It can get pretty dark in the Amazon when you have no light," Shadow told them.

"I know," Tails said.

"How did we get separated again?" Knuckles asked.

"Sonic didn't want to jump into the river with us," Tails answered. Knuckles nodded.

"Oh," He said.

"We should make a fire here and rest," Shadow sat down and began to rub some sticks together. Tails and Knuckles sighed. They really wanted to get out of the Amazon.
