It was a complete Chaos overload. Sonic had no idea how to handle it. Even screaming seemed pointless by now, because the energy was roaring so loudly in his ears he wouldn't have been able to hear his own voice anyway. The force of the Emerald, the Master, was utter oblivion, completely uncontrollable, threatening to simply incinerate him if he couldn't rein it in – but then Sonic would have gasped if he'd still had air to do so, because suddenly there was a new influence in the power struggle, like a firm hand reaching inside him and taking hold of the Chaos, calming it and gaining control of it effortlessly. The blue hedgehog managed to turn his head and saw that Shadow hanging from his hand was suddenly wide awake again, his red eyes suffused with the glow of Chaos inside them and utterly focused.

He's...he's doing it again, manipulating the Chaos energy inside you...drifted through Sonic's head, but really, holding onto even one definite thought was a struggle at the moment. From the outside, Sonic mused, they must have looked like a strange hedgehog chain connected to the Master Emerald, his left hand still pressed against the glowing surface while his right had caught Shadow hanging off the altar. And Sonic could feel the energy from the Emerald flowing right through him, passing into Shadow whose second nature was to control Chaos, channelling it, playing with it, taming it to make it into something they could both use, and then, before Sonic knew it, suddenly everything fit and - !

Chaos was power and lightning and sound and fury, and when it suddenly aligned with you it felt as if you were the center of the universe and burning in the heart of the sun.

It was like a madcap ride on a merry-go-round inside a caleidoscope as Sonic could feel the energy bursting into and overloading every single cell until they felt like exploding popcorn, the Chaos changing it, changing him, turning green eyes into red, bending his quills toward the sky and transmuting simple blue fur into gleaming gold...

"It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Super Sonic opened his eyes.

And smiled. Shadow's super form looked just like he remembered it, red stripes in silvery-golden fur slightly lighter than his own, and shining just as brightly.

"Yeah," Sonic replied, his voice somewhat hoarse. Even if he knew he looked very similar now, the sight of his partner in this state was awe-inspiring. The golden hedgehog could feel his lips stretch into a grin. "Let's make this a revival to remember."

"Are you...are you gods?!" The voice interrupting them belonged to Knuckles, the echidna staring at the floating hedgehogs wide-eyed and completely shell-shocked.

"Uh...not exactly," Sonic said. "We're..." he frowned. "You're not at all familiar with Super Saiyajin, right?" he asked hopefully. "'cause that usually works really well for an explanation."

"What?!" The echidna now looked even more lost. Shadow resisted the urge to head-desk on the Master Emerald, which wouldn't be a very dignified gesture for a Super form.

"We're not gods," he said instead. "The Emeralds grant us strength, speed, flight and invulnerability, but it's only temporary. It's what we do when we have to fight creatures far stronger than us."

Knuckles nodded, slowly, his eyes still wide, but he was swallowing now and seemed to have found his speech again. "I...see..." he croaked, and then he drew a gasp as he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Of course!" he exclaimed. "The prayer, it all makes sense now-!" He looked from hedgehog to hedgehog and back, "'The controller who serves to unify the Chaos..." he quoted, gazing at Shadow, before then turning to Sonic, "...and the heart who enriches it. I'd never have guessed," he marveled.
