Soni's Pov

Heat. Sand. Heat. Sand. A big pyramid and did I mention heat and sand? That was all I could see, feel and touch in the desert as we headed towards Egglina's base, at least we were flying it would have taken days had we used a car. Although neither of us owned one and no one had a license so that was out of the question anyway. I held on to the wing of the plane as we landed outside of the pyramid, I wiped my forehead as we jumped down.

"Guys- I mean gals we stick together from here on out? Right?" I said as they cast me a look of annoyance, I grinned shrugging my shoulders. I let out a yelp when I started to climb the stairs, when they started moving causing me to flip over backwards. Kay burst in to laugher while Tammy and Amery helped me up, I was about to lunge at her when Tammy gave me a warning glance. I closed my eyes then started up the stairs again then a few feet later we came to a door. A locked door to be exact.

"Hey, Amery! Can you break down the door?" I asked as I saw him jump up in glee and started pounding the door open. Five minutes later I started to get a headache from how loud Amery was hitting the door, and still hadn't gotten it open.

"There's a keyhole so there's got to be a key somewhere…" Tammy said as everyone turned to Kay, she backed up with her hands in the air.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" She asked glaring at us, I smirked with one hand on my hip.

"Well, you are a treasure hunter aren't you? Can't you find it? Or did you lie and say that just to impress Knuckles?"

"WHAT! NO! Of course I'm a treasure hunter! And I did NOT do that to impress Knuckles! And besides! A key isn't even a treasure!" She shouted throwing her fists in the air, I rolled my eyes.

"A real treasure hunter could find it. I bet we should get Rogue, I bet he can find it better and faster than Kay." I said knowing exactly what was going to happen next.

"WHAT!I could find that key in seconds if I put my mind to it!"

"Okay then get started. I want that door open." I said as she huffed then started down a hall, I could hear her muttering something like ' Big…Litter box…Dumb…key…not…treasure…' Amery, Tammy and I slapped hands. If there was one thing a Sonic fan knew, was that Knuckles a big gullible teddy bear…err…echidna. Five minutes later, we still stood at the door waiting for Kay to get back.

"Sheesh! What's taking her so long?" Amery whined as he sat on the floor, I heard a loud THUMP! Thump! And groaned as I remembered what happens next.

"Kay ran into some trouble, about fifteen tons of it! Amery! Tammy!" I said then quickly shoved the to the side. Kay was being chased by a huge stone statue of a pharaoh or a god or something. It threw its hand into the door leaving a gaping hole, I turned to Kay with a glare.

"I know I said I wanted the door open…but did you have to big a fifty foot statue?" I shouted at her, She snarled throwing her hands up in the air exasperated.

"Well you said get the door open! It's open! Are ay happy?" She shouted as she jumped back from the statue as it nearly stepped on her. I laughed a little shaking my head then turned to the statue. It started to spin its arms around and hit Kay sending her flying against the wall, I growled.

"I'll stop that thing!" I jumped up and started to run on its arms, I jumped up and was about to homing attack it when it lifted up its hands and clapped them together, catching me in the middle. It slammed me into its forehead then dropped me, my head was whirling as I collapsed on the ground. I gritted my teeth then got back to my feet at the same time as Kay, we smirked at each other.

" Have you had enough?"

"Yeah, I think we can finish it off." Kay retorted with a gleam in her eyes, both of us ran forward as the statue began spinning its arms again. I jumped up and spin dashed as Kay slammed her fist into its foot causing it to lose its balance for me to slam into it.

"Well, that was fun." I said wiping my hands as the statue collapsed on the ground.

"That was a piece of cake!" She said her hands resting on her hips. I grinned then held my hands to my eyes as the roof of the pyramid opened up, the X-Windstorm landed inside with Tammy in it.

" The Windstorm can't take us into space, guys. But I think we can bring it along inside that space ship!" Tammy said as she looked past us at the huge ship, I turned around scratching my head. Hehe, I never noticed it!

"Alright then, lets move before that statue gets back up." I said as we ran over to the space ship, I could hear the thunk, thunk of the Windstorm as Tammy walked it over to the ship. Within a half an hour we were sitting inside and strapping ourselves in.

"Countdown in Five…four…three …two …one…Lift off!" Tammy said as her fingers raced on the pad as we lifted off into space, I leaned forwards as I looked over all the buttons on the pad. Soon enough we were in space passing tons of meteors and asteroids, I could hear Amery ohhing in the back as he looked out the window, I had to admit it was pretty out here. Then there was the space colony, it looked exactly like space colony Ark. I yelped as Key suddenly appeared at the wheel.

"Hurry up!" Kay snarled then yanked the wheel away from me and Tammy, I grabbed her hand.

"Kay! What's the matter with you?" Tammy shouted as she yanked the wheel away from Kay.

" It's the Serenity Crystal shard! I can feel it!"

"Kay let go of the wheel!" Amery said as we entered a tail spin towards the space colony. Suddenly beams were being shot at us, I tried to shove Kay back as Tammy took hold of the wheel again.

"Alright calm down! We're going to the same place anyway!" I said keeping a tight grip on my wheel, Kay smirked then let go as she punched the air.

"Serenity Crystal here I come!"

We crash landed some where on the colony, but when we got down Kay had already disappeared. I rolled my eyes, she was already off looking for that dumb crystal. As we walked through the colony a sadness began to overwhelm us, it was completely dusty and empty.

"Fifty years ago this used to be the highest creation in engineering." Tammy stated as her hand lightly held the wall, I sighed as I remembered what happens next. I just hope it'll work out okay…

Kay's Pov

I snuck out the second we landed, I had to find the shard! Only thing is that my head started to hurt from all the twisting pathways, I pushed open a door to see the last shard sitting on a pedestal…that had no floor. Like the crystal was propelling the walkway to hang in the air. I smirked then ran forward when a shadow flew over me, I let out a snarl.

"Nah, uh! This area is off limits, baby." Rogue said with a smirk, I snarled fists clenched

"I want that shard!" I growled taking a step, he held up his hands.

"Sorry, Honey I can't let you do that." He said then leaped forward throwing a punch, I leaned back then blocked his kick. He lifted his hand up to chop down on me when I caught it and swung up causing him to flip backwards.

"Now, now is that anyway to treat a gentleman? Didn't you learn any manners?" He said with one hand on his hip, I snarled.

"I've got manners, but you're no gentleman!" I snarled then leaped forward throwing a punch, he leaned back over the edge and began to fall down into an oblivion. I didn't know what came over me, but I swung down still holding on to the edge and grabbed his hand before he could fall any farther. I climbed back up then pulled Rogue up after that, We sat there panting for a bit when he began to smirk.

"Ya know hon… if you want to hold my hand you need to ask! I don't date clingy girls." He said motioning that we were still holding hands, he yanked back with a growl.

"Clingy? What do you mean, Clingy! If it weren't for me then you would have fallen into space! Talk about ungrateful! " I shouted in exasperation, why couldn't he get it through his thick skull that I have no interest in him.

"Whatever, babe." He said the started to walk away leaving the crystal behind. I looked at him fists clenched.

"What about the crystal?"

"Take it, It's yours."

"What? Grrr…even for batboy, you're batty." I said through gritted teeth as I walked back to the crystal, I took out the shard pieces I had. I closed my eyes as I held my hands over the broken pieces, I felt the whir of energy increasing until I opened my eyes to see that the Crystal was whole again. I sighed in relief the picked it up holding it on my back and started to walk out of the room when a voice caught my attention.

"Need help with that?" I turned around to see Knuckles behind me, I blinked in confusion at him.

"How did you get here?" I asked as I placed the crystal on the ground, he smirked.

"The guys and I snuck on your space ship. You need to watch your backs better, if that was Eggman you probably would be dead."

"Humph! Well excuse us! After all this is our first time fighting against people, so is your offer still standing on helping me with the crystal?" I asked glancing at the gem, Knuckles smirked then walked closer to me.

Soni's Pov

"So, how are we going to stop the virus?" I asked as we searched through the space station in the Windstorm. The dark made everything give off an eerie glow, when Tammy piped up.

"Well maybe we can throw it off with this fake emerald." She said holding it out to me, I lightly tossed it from one hand to the other.

"When did you make it?"

"Before we went to rescue you from the island. I needed something to power the Windstorm so Tails and I made this copy. It works just like an actual one."

" I see, so if put this one into the computer I can mess up the virus. I gotcha. All I have to place this fake in the main computer , grab the real chaos emeralds and then we're homebound." I said with a smirk, Tammy nodded her head in agreement when there was a loud crash then shriek from Amery. I gasped as the lights were flipped on, I snarled when I saw Egglina in her hovercraft. Attached to the craft was a huge claw that held Amery, I jumped down from the Windstorm fists clenched.

"Not an other step closer Soni, or the boy gets it." Egglina laughed as the claw tightened its grip on Amery.

"Soni! Help me!" He shouted then tried to whack at the claw only for it to tighten even more.

"Let him go!" I snarled as I glanced at Amery to Egglina, she smirked knowing she had me in a tough spot.

"I'll let him go on one condition, give me the chaos emerald." She sneered already knowing my choice, I sighed scratching my chin.

"Geeze this a hard decision…" I said to freak Amery out, he turned to me wide eyed.

"What do you mean a hard decision?" He hissed then cried out as the claw tightened even more, I jumped.

"Okay, okay. I'll give you the emerald!" I said stepping forward. Egglina started to grin wildly

"Place the emerald in the center of that circle." She said as I walked forward, then I mentally slapped myself. How could I forget to tell Tammy about the fake emerald! Suddenly a glass container dropped down closing me and the emerald inside, I snarled then kicked against it.

"Prepare to blown into space Soni!" Egglina laughed I turned to Tammy dragging my finger across my neck for her to stop when she continued.

"Wait! What if I give you the real Chaos Emerald!"

"What! That's a counterfiet?I'll make Soni pay for your deception you crafty creep! " I sighed shaking my head, great…Now I really was going to be blown into space. I looked over at the guys when I saw something blue at the corner of my eye, Sonic was peeking in the door along with Tails and had snuck along, great... I knew they couldn't help me and I didn't want them to, I could do this on my own. I gave a short salute to them the turned to Tammy and Amery.

"YOU LET GO OF MY SONI NOW! HEY!" Amery shouted then yelped as he was dropped on the floor, I smiled at them.

"Its okay Amery. Tams you're in charge from now on." I said reassuringly, Amery and Tammy had tears in their eyes.

"Soni…" Amery said softly then jumped as Egglina shouted.

"Good bye, Soni!" Then suddenly the whole case dropped out of the room, the last thing I saw was the sadness on Amery's and Tammy's faces. Then the panic stricken face of Sonic, I just hope that it'll be okay…

Sonic's Pov

It was a cinch, sneaking onto the space ship. It was harder to go along unsuspected , but the hardest was watching Soni get trapped in the glass pod. I remembered getting a little claustrophoic in the pod and seeing my friends faces as I supposedly died. Tails and Amy grabbed my arms the second Egglina fired the pod, Soni smiled at me then she was gone.

"Sonic calm down! She'll be okay." Amy said soothingly, I clenched my teeth with my eyes closed.

"You don't know that! She never learned 'Chaos Control' she doesn't even know how to use the emerald. What if she really does die, while I just stand here and-" I said when I looked back to the a bright flash of light outside the window, Amery screamed with tears in his eyes.

"Soni!" My heart stopped beating, What if...


Hey everyone! Well will Soni survive ? Okay that was a dumb question...Anyway I always have the hardest time to get started on writing on this story but once I get started I can't stop! Hehe! Sorry I didn't put Shadria's Pov in this chapter but I promise that she will be in the next one! I love that I own the 'Shadow Saga' on DVD, so I can flip back and forth from writing and watching the show. So its pretty acurate to the show, except for a few changes here and there but other than that its the same. Please check out my other stories 'Mobian Districts and Metropolis Awakening' and thanks everyone for reviewing! Please keep reviewing!Thanks! ~God Bless!~
