The option -c means: write to standard output (= normally the terminal).
Invoke gunzip just this way:
gunzip emacs_tar.gz
Even the -d option should not be needed (it means decompress, but that's the
default).
Doing so you'll find the unziped files in your actually working directory.

P.S.: in future take a look in the man-pages. You'll find all the answers
for such questions there!
