"So, how exactly are you gonna chaos control into the Zooma trance?" Knuckles asked, as they walked. Shadow frowned.

"Well, I'm gonna chaos control my soul into the Zooma trance then chaos control back with Sonic and Tails," Shadow answered. Knuckles shook his head.

"The chaos emerald can't go with you, you know," Knuckles told him. Shadow thought for a moment then sighed.

"Oh yeah, that's right, chaos emeralds don't have souls so if I chaos control my soul into the Zooma trance then the chaos emerald won't come along with me. It makes sense," Shadow said, as he wiped some sweat from his forehead.

"Chaos emeralds have souls?!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"No, that's not what I said, dummy," Shadow replied looking annoyed. Knuckles frowned, as they walked.

"You're the one who's the dummy, Shadow," Knuckles said. Shadow glared at Knuckles.

"How is that?" Shadow asked.

"Well, 1, you went into the Amazon to live here, 2, you got a knew name that is crazy, and 3, you've lost it," Knuckles said. Shadow growled then pushed Knuckles to the ground. Knuckles rolled and kept rolling until he bumped into a tree. It was getting dark.

"I am the smart one here and you are the dumb one here, have I made myself clear?" Shadow asked. Knuckles just nodded and stood up, rubbing his head.

"Shadow, it's getting dark, don't you think we should stop and maybe you could make a fire," Knuckles suggested. Shadow looked at Knuckles then sighed.

"Fine, if the baby's scared," Shadow said, as he got some twigs and started banging them together. Knuckles sat down and rolled his eyes.

"We shouldn't be arguing Shadow, we should be thinking of a way to save Sonic and Tails," Knuckles said.

"Don't I know it?" Shadow asked coldly, as he continued to bang the sticks together. Knuckles stared at Shadow.

"Um Shadow...that's not how you make a fire...is it?" Knuckles asked. Shadow stopped banging the sticks.

"No...I don't think so, I forgot how to make a fire," Shadow replied. Knuckles stared at Shadow for a moment then smiled.

"Looks like the real Shadow is really coming back, I better be careful," Knuckles said. Shadow shook his head then started banging the sticks together again.

"Maybe there are chaos emeralds in the Zooma trance, maybe I could search for one when I get there then chaos control Sonic and Tails, including myself back to reality," Shadow said. Knuckles nodded.

"Sounds like a good plan, if there IS a chaos emerald there," Knuckles said. Shadow nodded then got up.

"Let's just continue searching, I cannot get this fire going," Shadow said, as he began to walk away.

"Wait Shadow, but don't you know that, pythons come out at night and even more deadly creatures?" Knuckles asked.

"Aren't deadly creatures out at day time too?" Shadow asked.

"You're suppose to know these things Shadow, you're the Amazon guy!" Knuckles exclaimed. Shadow shook his head.

"I don't remember," Shadow told him. Knuckles sighed and decided to follow Shadow.

"If we die, it's all your fault," Knuckles told Shadow. Shadow didn't say anything and continued to walk.

After what seemed like an hour they were being chased by pythons. "They're fast!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"Yes, they are," Shadow said, as he ran further ahead.

"Hey Shadow! Wait for me!" Knuckles exclaimed, trying to keep up. They suddenly came past a cave. "Hey! Why won't we check in there?" Knuckles pointed back at the cave. Shadow suddenly stopped and looked at the cave.

"I can sense a chaos emerald near by, we should check in that cave," Shadow said and approached the cave. The pythons were getting closer.

"Hey! I said let's check in it first, didn't you hear me?" Knuckles asked angrily. Shadow looked at him.

"Did you say something?" He asked. Knuckles shook his head with a sigh and they both went into the cave.
