It'll be okay, Sonic.
It'll be okay? Tom is fighting for his life, and you think it'll be okay?
The fox is simply trying to comfort you.
Comfort's not what I need right now. I need to stop them. By any means necessary.
Wait, you don't mean...?
The Master Emerald.
The emerald must never be wielded for vengeance. Not ever. We swore a sacred oath.
Don't talk to me about oaths, not now.
But you told Tom using the emerald wasn't the right choice.
Well, now it's the only choice! And if neither of you have the guts to help me, then I'll do it alone.
But I thought the three of us were a team! I thought that's what made us special!
I'm not asking you twice, Knuckles. [powers his fists] Where is the Master Emerald?!
Your heart is being consumed by anger, hedgehog. You are in no condition to make decisions right now.
I know you're upset about Tom. We all are!
Last chance. Where... [his eyes glow blue with rage] is it?!
Don't do this. [then hesitantly calms down a moment later] Part of our oath is to trust each other, and I must abide by that promise even if you have chosen to break it. But heed this warning. The Master Emerald is guarded by a fearsome warrior, and to seize this ultimate power, you will have to go… through him.
