Total Eclipse - Part Three: Shadow Boxing
Continuing from the previous issue, everyone watches with shock and determination as Knuckles and Shadow continue their fight. While fighting, both discuss the fate of the Master Emerald. As Shadow delivers a punch to Knuckles, he says that they have to secure the Emerald, as it is not safe here. Knuckles strikes him back saying that the Emerald will stay here, and he blames Shadow for Eclipse coming here and tells him to deal with him.

However, Shadow comments that this is a waste of time to him, and he teleports to Omega and Rouge, saying to head back to the shuttle, while he uses Chaos Control to teleport the Emerald. Relic blocks his way, while Rouge tells Shadow to stand down, but Snively tells him to ignore her and do it. They do not notice Knuckles, who smacks Shadow down, picks him up and spins him around, before throwing him off the Island. Knuckles thanks Relic, then goes off to fight Shadow, leaving Relic with Rouge, Omega, Snively, and Fixit, who was picked up by Omega.
