Sonic: Let's see…….what's this? Sonic and Knuckles are in an old, deserted temple, which protrudes from a mountain side. Sonic and Knux have been searching for what it seems hours to find a Chaos Emerald, which right now seems almost hopeless to find. Sonic kicks a rock over impatiently. Sonic: SO Knuckles, the EXPERT treasure hunter, where the frick is it? Knuckles slides his hand across the wall, trying to understand some of the ancient carvings. Knuckles: (sighs) Look, Sonic, I didn't say it'd pop out of nowhere or anything. Sonic: Whatever, geez wandering around in a cave all day is not what I had in mind when ya asked me to come. (gives an annoyed look) Knuckles: Well, you can leave if you want to……. Sonic turns around, ready break for the exit, but doesn't remember which way it is in the dark. Knuckles: (grins) …….if you can find it…… Sonic mumbles something as Knuckles continues to search for the emerald along side the temple. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Amy: I don't see them yet……….. Tails and Amy fly around the mountain in the X Tornado, waiting for the two to come out with the emerald. Tails: (looks at the time) They've been in there for quite awhile…..hope everthing's all right. Amy: Maybe we should go down help them. Tails: I'd like to, but, it'd be a rough landing out here in the mountains. Amy: (pleading) Oh come on Tails, we going to have to anyway. (smiles), plus dark caves can be lonely….Sonic could use some company.(giggles) Tails: (smiles) Alright, alright I'll look for a spot…… ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Knuckles: I can sense it but,……(looks around) Sonic! The sooner we find it, the sooner we'll get out of here. Sonic: (still leaning up against a wall) Well, we could come back later with one of Tail's gadgets or something.(yawns) Amy: Oh, SONIC!! (runs to hug him) Sonic turns around to see Amy and Tails come from the darkness. Sonic braces himself for Amy as Knuckles gives Tails a confused look. Knuckles: How did you guys….? Tails: (holds out a gadget) Well, we knew you guys would be close to the emerald so we followed the signal. Any luck? Knuckles: (sighs) Not much, (looks at Sonic)..And no thanks to SONIC over there….. Amy: (still holding him) I thought you might be lonely, Sonic. (gives him a love look) Sonic gulps as he wonders what to say. Tails: The scanner says it's really close by…….it's either that way or the other. Knuckles: We should split up… Amy: ( dragging Sonic with her) Sonic and I will go this way then…… Sonic gives a helpless look as he and Amy disappear down one of the temple caves. Tails and Knuckles take the other. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Amy: Wow, it's really getting dark in here………it almost seems endless! Sonic: Well, we'll see if it's really endless or not! (prepares to run) Amy: (surprised) But, Sonic! You won't be able to see……(watches him take off into the darkness) Wait!! What am I going to do now? Sonic?! Sonic:(yelling back) I'll be back in a minute, Amy! Amy: (frustrated) Ohh!! Always running off!! She hears Sonic saying something in the darkness. Sonic: Hey! I think I found something…..(panics) WHOAA!!! WHAT THE…..?! Amy: (hearing stones move and Sonic yell.)SONIC?! SONIC?!? WHERE ARE YOU!? Amy runs down the cave, panicking. As she turns on a flashlight, she finds a deep crevice on the floor by some ruins. Amy: (yelling down) Sonic?! SONIC?! End of Chapter 1 Go on, read the next chapter!
