The flash almost blinde them. First they were escaping from a massive avlanche. Next thing they knew, Sonic and Shadow were standing at an alter with a huge emerald. "Where are we?" said Shadow. "And how did we get up here?" "You are on Angel Island," said Knuckles coming from behind. "That is the Master Emerald. It controls the power of the Chaos Emeralds. I have to go and find my friends. Here is a Chaos Emerald." Knuckles gave Sonic a Chaos Emerald. "I have one, and Robotnik has another. You have yours over there. The rest of the Emeralds are scattered around this planet. I must find them as well." Knuckles used the Chaos Control to warp away. "Wait," Said Sonic. "Darn! I had so many things to ask him." "Hey Sonic," said Shadow. "Thank's for saving me. Let's warp back to your home. I'm on your side now. I know that Robotnik wanted to kill me after he completly took over this world. He feared that one day, I will overpower all of his machines and destroy him. After I collected the Chaos Emeralds, he would use thier power to kill me. I can read the mind of a human." "Hold up," said Sonic. "What's a human? What is Robotnik? How did you guys meet?" "Dont worry," replied Shadow. "I'll explain everything back at home." Sonic and Shadow used the Chaos Control to warp back home. When they got there, it was night. Pitch black. Sonic waw a campfire lit. Sonic ran ahead of Shadow. Then sonic heard a voice. "Hey Sonic!" it was Tails. "Hey little buddy," said Sonic. "Wow," said Tails. "How did you get here?" "Its a long story," said Sonic. "I'll explain when we eat." Sonic met up with Sally and Rotor. They built a cozy little hut.They started to talk. "Where's Vector?" asked Sonic. "He bailed," said Rotor. He kept talking about Knuckles and the Chaotix. and that he had to come back for them." "It's true," said Sonic. "Knuckles and the Chaotix. I'll explain when we eat." Later that night, everyone gathered around the fire to eat. Sonic told everyone about his experiences with the Ice guardian and Knuckles. "Oh," said Sonic. "One more thing I need to show you guys." Sonic called for Shadow. Shadow came out and Sonic explained everything. There was a lck of trust for Shadwo, but nobody said anything. Shadow knew that nobody trusted him. He was like a Clinton. Now he had to earn thier trust no matter what. Shadow then sat down to explain his life. "I was created on another planet. The planet was called Atomic. Atomic was destroyed in a nuclear war. It started with a man named Dr.Ivor Robotnik.. He had a group of terrorists called the Eggman Empire.. He made a huge army of robots. He had a group of robpts called the E-Series. Then he had Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic. They were given the name "Sonic" because of thier speed. Funny how this planet has a hedgehog named Sonic. Anyway, Robtnik's raided cities and took over nations with his swat bots. He used the E-Series for top missions. There was only one nation remaining after all of that. The most powerful one. It was called Nuke. The country was known for thier nuclear and atomic bombs. These bombs were huge. Not only did they cause big explosions. They also let out extreme radiation. Robotnik needed to make something new. His machines couldn't withstand these weapons. So he found the research project his grandfather created. It was me. I was considered to be the ultimate life form. I could easily withstand these weapons. Nuke, bombed the entire planet without realizing that Robotnik was in his space colony called Ark. The radiation spread, and all life was destroyed. Robtnik and I destroyed the planet with the Eclipse Cannon. A weapon powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. We warped out far into space. Eventually we crashed on the planet. Years passed in the space colony. We were the only survivors. We sent the E-Series down to check if the planet we found was liveable. Everything was fine. Robotnik stared building on the planet which is Mobius. He learned fo the Chaos Emeralds. If he finds them all, this planet will suffer the same fate as Atomic." "We cant let him do that," said Tails. "It won't be that easy," said Shadow. "We have to make an alliance of creatures on this planet. And even if we do, we still need to stop the "decoy" Sonics and the E-Series." "IT's been taken care of," said Rotor with a boastful smile. "Come in the hu with me." Everyone went into Rotor's hut. Rotor's hut was the only one there. It was next to a very small lake on the forest. Inside the hut was a trap door on the floor. "Follow me," said Rotor. Everyone followed Rotor into a basement where they saw Metal SOnic, Silver Sonic, and the E-Series....
