The Chaos Of Our Worlds

Chapter I - Calm Before The Storm

Mobius (Sonic Universe) - Present Day (After Modern Sonic Games)

     It was a peaceful day on the planet of Mobius. Everyone was safe, and no wars were currently taking place. Knuckles guarded the Master Emerald, and Sonic, Tails, Shadow, and Silver held on to one Chaos Emerald each. However, three of the Chaos Emeralds were scattered across the land, yet to be found.

     Out in Marble Garden Zone, the red Chaos Emerald sparkled in the early morning dew. Eggman's robot troops have retreated ever since the event in time known as the "Sonic 3 and Knuckles Era." The only life that surrounded it was the grass below it. That was, until the sound of footsteps appeared.

     No one was around to hear the steps, as they came closer to the emerald. The figure came closer as the sun shined on him, reflecting off of the metal on his body.

     The figure walked closer to the emerald, close enough to grab it. The figure picked it up with his hand. "With this, I can beat Sonic, if I find the other emeralds..." said the figure. He then picked up the emerald, and walked off.

     Out on Angel Island, Knuckles stood in front of the Master Emerald as he angrily asks, "Testing your luck here again?" "It's you who's testing your luck, guarding that emerald," countered Rouge, stepping out of the shadows, "I'm taking the Master Emerald from you today." She says, and Knuckles replies with, "We'll see about that."

  Knuckles leans against the Master Emerald, waiting for Rouge to make her first move. She gets impatient and flies upward, then flies horizontally at him, her fist locked back, ready to make a punch when she comes close enough. Knuckles moves out of the way and rouge stops, not wanting to harm the Master Emerald. Knuckles takes this time of distraction to punch Rouge in her back, sending her to the ground.

     Rouge gets up and starts to fly vertically, leveling with Knuckles, and quickly turns around and spin kicks him, which sends him back about a hundred feet, which gives Rouge the chance to make her escape, she starts to pick up the emerald when something sends her flying into the sky. Rouge levels and hears Knuckles yell, “LEAVE AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!!” She flies off, angry.

     "Go!" Tails shouts out on Seaside Hill as a big cloud of dust gets kicked up into the air. A blue blur runs along the path in the area. Almost immediately, the blur stops at the cloud of dust, where it started, making the cloud even bigger. "Time!" shouted Tails, standing within the now larger cloud of dust, looking at the stopwatch in his hand, "0.335 seconds. That's your best time yet!"

     "Cool! Bet I can beat it again!" Sonic said to Tails as the cloud starts to fade. Getting ready to run, he turns to Tails and says, "Ready?" Tails puts his stopwatch away and says, "Not now Sonic, the sun is shining bright and hot, and unlike you, I haven't been running all day, so I haven't had the wind in my face." "I guess that's fair," states Sonic, "but how about we go get some food, I'm starving!" "Fine by me!" replies Tails.

     A cloaked figure walks through the blistering heat and sandy terrain of Wild Canyon. "It's got to be around here somewhere..." says the cloaked figure. He walks along the temple ruins as he searches for what he needs. He then noticed, however, that one of the boxes were untouched from the "Sonic Adventure 2 Era." "I'm surprised Knuckles didn't look for the Master Emerald in that box. However, that's probably where the emerald I'm looking for is. And I don't have any weapons on me, so it's a good things these boxes can be easily broken."
