Chapter 2
"Shadow! Shadow!"
Sonic burst though the door just to see Shadow and Ames on the couch. Shadow had his feet propped up on the coffee table and Sonic running in caused a bowl of freshly popped pop corn that Ames was holding fly.
"What do you want?" asked the Onyx hedgehog grabbing the remote and pausing a movie on the T.V.
"Amy's been kidnapped!"
"Again?"
"Yes again, Shadow. Scourge has kidnapped her along with Cream and from what it sounds he has completely lost it. Also he says the only way to find them is to follow these hints on these recorders."
He held it up.
"Give me that!" screamed Shadow yanking it from the cobalt blue hedgehog's hand.
He replayed the earlier message.
"Hmmmm…."
"Shadow I think it has something to do with you."
"What the hell could have saved me from perils?" Shadow's eyes then widened.
"What?"
"I remember. The capsule, the one I was in when Maria sent me from the ark. It landed on a remote island, off the coast of Emerald Beach. The capsule that I was in washed up on that small isle. I stuck it up as a memorial to her. Then the G.U.N. solders came, and before they took me off of it. I asked if they could leave it there as a memorial for Maria's death. Then that's when they sealed me up at Prison Island."
"So you are saying…."
"My saver of my perils was the capsule monument. It's should still be there."
"Well that's the good news Shadow." said Sonic, "But there is still a problem."
"What?"
"The island is surrounded by water."
"Amy? Amy? Please wake up."
The pink hedgehog slowly opened her eyes to see Cream still tied up. Her eyes were red from crying so much.
"Amy please hurry and wake up." cried the rabbit.
"Cream… every thing will be okay."
"No Amy. Scourge left. He said that he's going to put us in two different places."
"Great!"
"Amy. He scares me."
"I know Cream." said Amy, "He scares me too."
"What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know Cream, with Scourge there is no telling, but something seems strange. He's never acted so violently before."
Sonic was curled up in the middle of the boat, "I hate water. I hate water. I HATE IT!"
"You're a damn Crybaby." Shadow chuckled as he splashed a handful of ocean water on the blue hedgehog making him jump.
"We are nearly there."
"Well thank goodness. There are nice people to let us borrow their boats or we would have to swim here." joked Tails who sat in the back of the small boat.
"Yeah, then you'd be the one getting the clue." cried Sonic.
Shadow helped guide the boat on the island. Once off he looked around, "This way."
The other's followed the black hedgehog.
"There it is."
Shadow pointed toward where two broken capsule pieces laid. The glass once clear was caked with dirt and the metal on the edges was nearly decayed and on top of it laid the tape recorder.
Sonic zoomed to it and pressed play.
"This one was too simple. But still good for making it." Scourges voice chimed from it, "Now for the next: For up high, it was my mistake. Something nearly impossible to touch or take. There you will find another clue. I managed to use it, but will you?"
The recording stopped.
"What's with the metaphors and poems?" asked Shadow.
"That's Scourge for you," said Sonic, "Okay. Up high in the sky…. that's the heavens right."
"Yeah," said Tails, "and Scourge said it was a mistake he made. What kind of mistake could he do in the sky?"
"I can answer that."
Sonic, Tails, Shadow, and Ames turned.
"How did you know we were here Rouge?" asked Sonic.
"Well Sugar. It so happens I was flying over this island just now on my way home."
"Alright Rouge, cut the chat." chimed Shadow, "Tell us what you know."
"Don't you idiots take a hint or two? It's obvious. The heaven and the mistake."
"No. I still don't get it."
"Angel Island DUH!"
"Oh yeah I remember." cried Sonic.
"Scourge's mistake was touching the Master Emerald when he tried to steal it."
"So the next clue is on Angel Island?" asked Tails.
"Well how can we get up there?"
"Use an airplane, ya know the Tornado." said Shadow, "Sheesh. All of this is causing you so much stress it's starting to make all of you go loony."
"There is only one question to ask." said Sonic.
"What's that?"
"If Scourge said he could touch the emerald, and asked if I could. That must also mean that the next clue is…"
"Behind the Master Emerald."
