Darkess
"Come on Shadow, pick up the pace!"
Yelled the blue speedster as he darted towards the great fortress that seemed to be a great distance ahead of him and The Ultimate Lifeform. It was barely visible since it was curtained by the darkness of the night.
"I'm just saying, if we get ambushed you're getting the blame of it, we should stop and think about our options of entering."
replied Shadow to Sonic's comment.
"Shadow, for once in your entire life, could you please stop overthinking things!"
Stated the blue hedgehog as if he had a hundred better things to do than being paired up with his arch-rival on a mission. But it was necessary since this was the decision that knuckles had made who was the head of the "Sonic Forces" Team.
Sonic and Shadow were particularly chosen because they were the most powerful and vigilant members of the association.
As Shadow followed the lead of apparently, the fastest thing alive, he noticed a pair of eyes following their movements. They were gleaming in the light provided by the moon which was moving through the sky. Although it was partly hidden by the clouds it considerably illuminated their path.
"Stop! There's someone, or something, following us."
Shadow alerted Sonic. At those words both of them skidded to a halt. The pair of eyes had disappeared. Both of them were hastily searching for signs of movement in their surroundings.
The only sound was the silent whistling of the air as it moved the leaves of the trees surrounding them and the only movement was indeed of the leaves brushing against each other.
"We finally meet, the blue blur and, what was it again, ahh, yes, Shadow."
A booming voice echoed through the forest.
It seemed extremely similar to Sonic and Shadow. They had definitely heard that voice somewhere. It was him...Darkess.
