Sonic told Tails and Knuckles everything, and they listened intently. And when Sonic finished, they both just stared at him, almost in disbelief. Sonic sighed and was forced to look away from them, almost panging with guilt.

“Sorry guys. I just… I’m sorry I’ve lied to you all this time,” he said. “I’m not the… real deal, I’m… I’m an accident.”

“Are you kidding?” Knuckles stood up and placed a hand on Sonic’s shoulder. “Sonic what you just told us, and what Tikal told you, you’re not an accident!”

“Yeah! I mean, heck Sonic!” Tails said. “It doesn’t matter to any of us how you got your powers, or that you have ‘em! You’re our friend!”

Sonic looked at Tails and Knuckles, tears welling in his eyes, but he blinked them away and smiled.

“Thanks guys,” he said. Knuckles winked.

“C’mon Sonic, we’d better get you back to the Glade before Thade finds us outside.” Knuckles said. Sonic shivered, remembering Thade could be anywhere right now, then stood up. Tails smiled, and leapt at Sonic, trapping him in a hug.

“Oof!” Sonic swaggered off balance. “Hey, what the?”

“Oh shuttup, I felt like it.” Tails muttered. Sonic laughed.

“My, my, how sentimental,” came a voice. Sonic froze, his fur rising and he threw Tails off him. He whirled around, and there was Thade, perched on a tree branch, grinning as always.

Sonic felt his fur rise, and his blood begin to boil in anger. He jumped in front of Tails and Knuckles, growling with his teeth showing. Thade just laughed and slinked down the tree like a snake.

“You… you…” Sonic’s fists were shaking he was so angry. “I’ve had it with you!!” Thade threw his head back and laughed.

“What’s the matter Sonic? Tired of running are we?” Thade asked, his strange tentacles moving over his shoulders and beginning to stretch. Sonic narrowed his eyes.

“You might say that…”

“Fine by me!” Thade shot two tentacles at Sonic, who dodged one way, and Knuckles and Tails went another. But Thade turned his attention straight to Sonic, and his back to Knuckles and Tails. Thade wrapped a tentacle around Sonic’s ankles and dragged him closer.

Suddenly, Tails leapt onto Thade from behind, and sank his teeth into Thade’s shoulder blade. Thade roared out in pain and let go of Sonic, and grabbed Tails by the scruff of his neck. He hissed at the little fox and narrowed his eyes.

“Pipsqueak!” he spat, slashing at Tails with his claws and hurtling the fox away from him. Tails let out a cry of pain, even as Knuckles caught him in midair, but Tails grabbed his arm in pain and squeezed his eyes closed.

Sonic gaped in horror, his pupils practically shrinking to small specks. He started growling, and he clenched his fists against the ground. The Master Emerald suddenly started to glow, and spark with black bolts of electricity. A purple aura suddenly surrounded Sonic and he turned a dark, dark purple, and his pupils disappeared. He turned around at Thade, who seemed startled.

“You bastard!” Dark Super Sonic shouted.

“Eh?? What’s thi--Oooooof!!” Thade was thrown back as Dark Super Sonic threw himself into Thade’s gut and started punching him rapidly in the face, his arms almost complete blurs. He finally kicked Thade hard and sent him into a large boulder nearby. Thade sat there for a moment, and then sat up slowly and looked at Dark Super Sonic.

“This can’t be… you can use Positive, and Negative Chaos?!?” he asked. Dark Super Sonic grinned and nodded his head. Thade hissed, and charged forward, and Dark Super Sonic moved aside as they continued to fight.

Just below Angel Island, a lone pair of eyes was turned towards the sound of explosions on the floating island, and the ears twitched with curiosity, and his nose sniffs the air.

“Hmm…” he said to himself. “Sounds like a demolition job is going on… I might as well join in.”

Sonic was hurtled back against the rock wall of the ruins, as his Chaos Energy began to run out. He was exhausted, and Thade was stronger than he thought… a LOT stronger. Sonic finally felt his Chaos energy leave his body, and he shut his eyes, muttering a curse under his breath. Thade chuckled.

“Finally! Now that I’ve dealt with that… it’s time for business.” Thade’s tentacles suddenly turned sharp again and they shot at Sonic. Knuckles and Tails let out shouts of terror.

“No…” Sonic gasped, too shocked to scream.

WHIRRRRR-ZZZZAAAAAAAAAPPP! There were four bright shots of light that cut Thade’s tentacle off… and not from its path. Thade yowled in pain and recoiled from his strike, glancing up at the top of a large pillar.

“Who the?” Thade asked. Sonic looked up the pillar he sat beneath.

Shadow the Hedgehog uncrossed his arms and dropped from the pillar and in front of Sonic, giving him time to stand up. Sonic gripped a soar shoulder.

“Wow. Perfect timing, Faker,” he said, wiping blood away from the corner of his mouth. Shadow glanced at Sonic coldly.

“Save it,” he said, and then vanished to reappear behind Thade. Shadow jumped up and kicked Thade in the back of the skull, and Thade was thrown forward, stunned temporarily. Thade turned around and looked at Shadow.

“Who in the world are you?” he asked, not familiar with Shadow yet. Shadow smirked.

“I’m Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform.” Shadow said, vanishing again. Thade stared blankly for a minute… and then grinned.

“Ultimate Lifeform eh?” Thade shot his tentacles behind him… and caught Shadow by surprise and around the neck. Shadow choked in shock and grabbed at Thade’s tentacle. Thade chuckled.

“I think not…” And he swung around and slammed Shadow in the gut, sending him flying through the air. Sonic gasped and jumped up, catching Shadow in midair and they both landed against the temple steps. Shadow and Sonic sat up groaning in pain and Sonic rubbed his shoulder. Shadow shook his head and rubbed his stomach.

“That did not go the way I planned,” he muttered.

“Planned? You had a plan?” Sonic asked.

“Oh, shut up!” Shadow snapped. He looked up at Thade as Knuckles and Tails ran over to him and Sonic. “What is he?”

“Don’t ask, ‘cause I don’t know.” Sonic replied. They heard Thade chuckle wickedly, and they looked at him, all four of them somewhat nervous.

“And now for the grand finale!” Thade suddenly shot several tentacles from his ‘living’ mane towards Sonic and company. Sonic and the others stiffened…

“Enough!!!”

A light suddenly shot from the Master Emerald and created a wall between Sonic, the others and Thade, who hissed and recoiled. A glowing figure appeared inside the wall, arms spread out in defense of Sonic and his friends. Sonic squinted through the light and spotted Tikal in the light, arms spread out and she looked angry. Sonic sighed in relief, but Thade took one look at Tikal and let out a lethal sounding hiss.

“Positive Chaossss!!” he hissed. Tikal narrowed her eyes and shot one hand forward, sending a blast at Thade that knocked him backwards. Thade let out another hiss and stood up. He pointed at Sonic and glared, causing the hedgehog to literally step back in fear.

“This is not over!!” he yelled in rage, and then vanished.

Tikal sighed, turned around at Sonic and his friends as her magic began to fade.

“Get back to the Glade before he has a chance to regain his energy,” she said, her voice echoing. “And hurry, you don’t have much time…” And then she vanished.

Shadow blinked and looked at Sonic. “Who was that?”

“That was… Aaaagh!” Sonic suddenly buckled over and clutched his side. He felt something sticky under his fingers, and he would take a wild guess and say it was red. Knuckles and Shadow both helped Sonic back to his feet, and Knuckles draped one of Sonic’s arms over his shoulders. Tails ignored his own wound and winced while looked at Sonic’s side, which had been cut deeply, and then he looked at Shadow.

“Shadow, can you…”

“Use Chaos Control and get us out of here?” Shadow asked, already raising one arm. “Sure thing…” And with a bright flash, the four of them were gone.

But from the far side of the Master Emerald, hidden in its shadow, a lone set of eyes watched the whole battle. He had not done a thing to help Sonic and his friends… he had merely watched. Because it was up to Sonic to stop Thade… Sonic the Hedgehog would succeed…

Where he had failed.
Uh oh... Not even Shadow can stand up to Thade! (Sad, I know) Okay in this scene I decided to have Dark Super Sonic make a little debut in the story, but not for very long, because Thade feeds off of Negative Chaos, hence why Sonic wasn't able to keep in that form for very long. But still, Thade will get what's coming to him...

I think...

Is that Kinos behind the Master Emerald? How did he get out of the blue emerald?
