"Nothing, except try to chase down a murderer." Knuckles replied.

Clay cocked his head toward the north where bearly a shadow moved, "^{Thief they are coming out now}."

"You're afraid of a thief?" The jackal scoffed.

"Goodness you had an exciting morning. I see something up ahead."Glider flapped off.

"_{Where there is one there are a hundred and this is a stealth mission}." Clay whispered, "_{We studied them for years before we attacked and still failed so being cautios is good."}

"She came in, i chased her out, she teleported.... There was something... off about it though. Like, I didn't sense any Chaos emeralds besides the ones me and Ajal have." The echidna explained.

Glider looked down, "There has been a rumor going around lately I heard the doctors talking about it. They said Zero was back and that someone made a phantom ruby maybe many of them."

"....If I may ask, is the Prototype completed by any chance?" Zero inquired, ears flattened.

Clay summonded his and handed it to Zero. "_{There are many back ups just in case and I have one as well.}"

"...All rumors have some truth behind them. But Zero's been missing for a while, why resurface now?" He growled.
