Sonic and the Black Emerald

Chapter 1

----PAST---

"It is said…that the Chaos Emeralds turn your thoughts into power…what is not known of them…is they can read your pure emotion…take what is in our hearts…and turn them into power... it can be of great power…but whether for good or evil…depends solely on the emotion of the controller… this is a blessing…and a curse…"

There was something stirring in Sonic's mind, but he was not yet awake.

Sonic lay asleep in a grassy field somewhere, who knows really, Mobious was a big place.

Sonic was tossing and turning in his sleep, mumbling. "No Amy…put away the hammer…you could put an eye out with that thing…"

And suddenly, Sonic's eyes opened up, as if he'd only just fallen asleep.

His eyes were heavy; the blue hedgehog looked completely drained of energy.

The spiky blue hedgehog yawned and stretched.

"Man I'm tired, strange; I thought I camped out here early enough to catch a good amount of shuteye." Sonic said to himself.

He got on his feet, reading for a run.

"Man, time does fly doesn't It." he said, seeing the sun come up in the sky.

----PPRESENT---

Something felt weird about tonight though; there wasn't a bird or sound of life anywhere.

In fact, the wind was hardly blowing, and the air was very musty.

Sonic backed up, and started running again.

Sonic was legendary for his speed, he ran so fast he could burn up a road in seconds.

But something stopped him.

"What the?!" Sonic said in surprise.

Mobious was deserted; there was a pelage of disaster, like a tornado had hit it.

There lay casualties in the streets

"What happened?!" Sonic gasped.

Sonic couldn't believe his eyes; Central City was destroyed, and when he looked over Green Hill Zone, it was only a crater in the ground, like a meteor hit it.

He traveled over to the sea side and saw that the ships were all sunk, Robotropolos was a complete mess of wire and electricity, robots scattered across the street and the road torn in half.

There were fires burning and ashes scattered in the air.

Sonic's his heart was beating quicker then his pace as he searched the planet.

He used his speed to go from place to place, but no matter where he was, he found the same result.

Even Tails' workshop was gone.

There didn't seem to be a thing alive anywhere, and when he saw that people had somehow been killed, he felt nauseous and worried, wishing he could have saved them somehow.

"How could I have let this happen…?"
