[ it's risky, but his chances grow even more if it's within his possession. at first, the gem around the neck of the host called his attention, it was familiar in energy — it wouldn't surprise him if they were siphoning the power of the emeralds into it. at most, this is a dead emerald with only so much energy left or none at all, and this is what shadow risks his life for.

he has to keep moving no matter the consequence of his actions, and if he's taken out here and they unearth his body all he can hope for is that it's unusable. death hasn't really been kind to him, his body geared towards survival no matter the circumstances and then there's his dna.
if he's unable to die then he knows what's out there won't let him die either as long as he exists. that's why shadow tries for it, running underneath the piece ready to crush him, and it's with a swift kick against the emerald in the direction of his copy.
maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't. he doesn't have the time to use it correctly because time is not on his side to harness the power, but he mouths the words "chaos control" to the copy. whether they can utilize it or not, even a weak version of it may make a difference here. ]
