chapter 9

Centepede: I-I remember... Xenophanes has a weakness... I know how to kill Xeno!

Xenophanes sensed this and went into a panic. He wiped Centepede's memory again, fled to Planet Freedom- and there- he began seeking  out and collecting the Shadow Emeralds: killing anything in sight along the way.

We tried to mobilize and stop him, but he set my scar alight before any of us could move. The piracies stayed behind to help me, surprisingly. And the burning only stopped when Xenophanes lost his focus.

Without a red Ring to get to Planet Freedom- we searched  The Dead Zone for another way out.

Xenophanes' victims-Soul Tails, Soul Knuckles and Soul  Eggman- led us to an underground  ruin beneath Hill of the void.

In this ruin that described the 3 victims and how they can be used as  a sacrifice in order to summon a red Ring.

The soul victims stood on their respective pedestals, and with their last breaths, their  soul energy summoned a red Ring.

We were able to get Majin back thanks to this- for he is trapped in his own zone until this time.

Once we arrived, we found out that our friend, Professor Ferdinand Power, had taken Fleetway and Metal Sonic to try to stop Xenophanes in his tracks. Unfortunately for them, Metal Sonic was destroyed in the fight and Fleetway was Fatally wounded. We found them in a crater. Metal Sonic was nothing but a scrap heap and Fleetway was clinging onto a chaos emerald like his life depended on it.
Even Prower had an X scar on his wrist.

With all of us in one spot, we made a plan to take down Xenophanes once and for all. We took the weakened Fleetway to he emerald chamber.  There he was supercharged with chaos energy like never before.

Sparking with power, he darted away and led us straight to Xenophanes- who had just gotten the last Shadow Emerald on Angel Island.  Together, we caught Xenophanes to the bitter end.

One by one, Shadow Emerald fell out of his quills...
