   "Where are they?" asked Knuckles.
"I don't know." answered Sonic. "I'm gonna go find them."
He took off full speed toward the door but stopped when he saw Jason.
"Jason. Where are the others?"asked Sonic.
"Not sure. But wherever they are, they're better off than you are."
"What do you mean?" asked Tails.
Jason smiled and kicked Sonic across the room. He hit the wall with a smack and fell to the floor.
"I hope you two are good at fighting like Sonic is." Jason said, pulling out a metallic rod from his pocket. The top half of the rod split in two and folded down 90 degrees and formed a "T". Then a blade shot out to form a sword.
"Get back Tails." said Knuckles. "I got this."
"Sure you do." said Jason with a smile.
He ran at Knuckles and swung his sword. Knuckles dodged and countered with a punch. Jason dropped, grabbed Knuckles by the leg, and threw him at Tails. They both tumbled to the ground.
"Where'd you get that sword?" asked Knuckles.
"Gift from Mekka."
"So, that's what's going on. He's got you brainwashed!" said Knuckles.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that. It's more like... he's made me come to terms on my true destiny. A new world. Unfortunately, it doesn't involve any of you. I was almost able to kill Blaze but the others interfered. You, however, won't be so lucky."
"You almost killed Blaze?" asked Sonic, weakly.
Jason turned to look at him. "Yeah. And you're next."
"How could you do this?" asked Sonic. "How could you be so evil?"
"Oh, believe me. It's easy. Now get your sword and let's duel."
Sonic got up and walked over to a cabinet. He opened it and pulled out his sword. He closed the cabinet and walked over to face Jason in a one-on-one duel.
"There's still time to stop this." Sonic tried reasoning.
"Just shut up and duel."
"If that's what you want." said Sonic.
They rushed each other, swinging their swords and blocking the other's attacks. Jason swung hard at Sonic. Sonic blocked the attack but the force knocked him backwards. He then started running around Jason, creating a blue vortex. Jason stuck out his word but Sonic slid under it and kept running. Jason felt a loss of air.
"What's wrong, Jason? Having trouble breathing?" asked Sonic.
Jason concentrated energy into his fist. He punched the floor hard sending out a shock wave, knocking everyone over, including Sonic.
"Was a nice try, Sonic. But I'm afraid this is where it ends for you."
"Sonic!" came a voice. "Tails! Knuckles!"
"Oh, not now!" yelled Jason. "We'll finish this later."
Jason put his sword away and bolted out of the room. A couple seconds later the others arrived.
"Where's Jason?" asked Silver.
"He just left." answered Knuckles. "Where's Wave? And Blaze?"
"Blaze is resting after her confrontation with Jason and Wave is watching over her." said Silver.
"No one is safe, now." said Tails. "As long as we're on this ship, we're in danger."
"You're right." said Knuckles. "Let's go get Blaze and Wave and get off this ship."
"Follow us." said Jet.
