Crunch.
Crunch.
"Found you," a voice echoed through the frozen tundra.
Super Blaze knelt swiftly and pulled a Chaos Emerald from the ground. It was gray—drained of all power. She brought it up to her eyes and growled in frustration.
"By the Chaos Force, why would you idiots go dormant?" she huffed, pocketing the lifeless gem.
Her gaze shifted toward what seemed like a random direction, but her instincts were locked in.
"It would seem I need the Master Emerald after all," she muttered. "Which means we might have to fight Knuckles... and that also means we might need to fight Sonic."
She paused, her expression hardening into resolve.
"Fine. I do hope you can forgive me, Knuckles."
With that, she blasted off toward Angel Island.
Knuckles was having a rather nice day until he felt an unfamiliar chaos signature coming towards Angel Island. The Echidna stood up and grabbed a telescope, jumped off the master emerald shrine and glided towards a nearby cliff quickly latching on to climb it; he then used the telescope to find the source signature while hanging on the side of the cliff.
It had taken him a few seconds he managed to spot the source of the signature in the distance and upon spotting it his eyes widened in shock "Blaze" he questioned as he lowered the telescope. As far as Knuckles knew Blaze wasn't supposed to have chaos energy due to the fact that sol dimension worked on sol energy and she was in super form well Knuckles could only come up with one conclusion.

That wasn't Blaze and was most likely a fake, maybe something eggman had created as a way to steal the master emerald, and that would also explain where the chaos emeralds have been for the past few months. Knuckles hummed as he glanced back in the direction of Super Blaze. He quickly climbed the cliff and jumped to glide back to the master emerald shrine.
Time to set an ambush.
