3 years ago I did my first Sonic EXE story known as Through The Mirror. Now I'm doing it in Sonic Boom style.
The other day I had a minor nightmare of EXE in the Sonic Boom world. Scary but it gave me an idea.
Sonic official characters belongs to (c) SEGA/Sonic.
Sonic EXE belongs to (c) Creepypasta.

On Bygone Island, Sonic and his team were so bored that they need action and fighting to kick robots' butt but Eggman is taking his own vacation day at his lair. Which sounded weird for the team but they didn't care. Indeed that Sonic and his friends did have beaten Eggman's badniks so many times that they should let Eggman take a break and have his own vacation time.
Sonic was on his usual runs but came to a stop when he saw Shadow at the Gogobas village, holding the chief in his hands, "Ha, nice try. I don't feel guilt. Keep talking guilt to me and I will show you the meaning of fear" Shadow chuckled darkly.
"Shadow! Put him down! You have no idea what these guys can do!" Sonic said.
"I know what they do and I don't care! I just want them to stop following me all morning!" Shadow said.
"And why exactly?" Sonic asked.
"That's okay. We'll just let him kill us painfully. It's not like anyone is gonna care" The Gogaba Chief trying to get them to feel guilty.
"Shut up! I'm sick and tired of you creatures trying to make us feel guilty! It's starting to get annoying!" Shadow glared angrily.
"Okay, let's settle this in private battle again. I know you like to beat me again. Like old times" Sonic acting casual to his dark rival.
"Very well" Shadow scoffed and tossed the chief roughly to the side, "And if I see you coming to my secret location again, your village will be burned in hell!" He growled at the Gogobas.
"Trust me, guys. He shows no mercy to anyone. Anyways, ta-ta!" Sonic grabs Shadow and sped off to the desert area, "Seriously! Those Gogobas really know how to get our guard down"
Shadow slaps Sonic's arm off, "Whatever. It's not like I show guilt to anyone!"
"Shadow chill out" Sonic pleaded.
"Chill? It's gonna take more than that" Shadow said.
"You asked for it!" Sonic spin dashed at him. Shadow did the same time to him.
10 minutes later, Sonic was sitting on Shadow's back waiting for him to calm down. Shadow couldn't concentrate on teleporting since he's already used it all up and it would take a while to recover back. While waiting, Sonic checked his watch under his glove, "Calmed down yet?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, now I have" Shadow murmurs, "Get off of me right now!"
"Ah ah ah. A bad boy needs to learn some manners" Sonic smirked cockily.
"I don't do manners" Shadow growled.
"Then I guess I'll sit on your back for all eternity" Sonic laughed.
"GET OFF!" Shadow then shoves him off.
"Ow! Sheesh! A simple 'please' would be an easy thing to say" Sonic glared and gets up.
"Look I'm just in a bad mood" Shadow said.
"Like always" Sonic said.
"You're so annoying. And again, on my terms till we do a real fight again" Shadow said.
"You said that like three times" Sonic holding three fingers.
"Right now!" Shadow spins into a ball but missed and hit the tree.
"Oopsie! Anyways, great fight with you. This time I'll say on my terms. Ta-ta!" Sonic sped off.
Shadow got up with a grumpy look on his face.

At the hut, Tails was checking on a new map he found. Amy was pacing back and forth waiting for Sonic to show up, "Where is he? I can't believe he forgot his communicator watch" Amy said.
"Yeah weird. But he had to go and check on Shadow" Tails said.
"You know Shadow. Always the grumpy one" Amy said.
"Hey guys. You miss me?" Sonic teased them with his cocky grin.
"Yes we did. Next time, don't forget this" Amy held out Sonic's communicator.
"I won't" Sonic puts it back on.
"Anyways, now that you're here. We're gonna go adventuring like archeologists!" Amy squealed in excitement.
"Awesome! I'm in" Sonic said.
"We're going inside this temple to find this black jewel, it looks like a heart" Tails showed the map.
"Whoa, that's a very old map. If we find the black heart jewel, maybe we'll have Amy wear it like jewelry" Sonic chuckled.
"I prefer pink or red, not black" Amy said.
"Right of course" Sonic said.
"Then let's get moving. But we need Knuckles and Sticks" Tails said.
"Need what?" Sticks standing outside the door with Knuckles.
"Right on schedule. We're going on an adventure in a temple" Tails said.
"Oh, yeah! Uh, what temple?" Knuckles was excited but clueless.
"A temple on the other side of the island" Tails said.
"Then let's get moving" Tails said.
"Not without supplies Tails" Sonic said.
"It's outside on the picnic table. The backpacks" Tails said.
"Good. Now let's go" Sonic said heading out with the others.

On the other side of the island, Sonic and his team were at the entrance of the stair temple. Good thing they have Sticks since she can sense booby traps or see any dead skeletons laying around as a sign of booby traps.
"Okay guys. The gem is at the center of the temple two stories down so we're going down" Tails shows the tunnels in the temple.
Sticks was sniffing around like a dog, checking for any booby traps, "I smell booby traps"
"Where?" Sonic asked.
"Riiiiiiiiight THERE!" Sticks saw the floor open and spikes were at the floor.
"God almighty!" Sonic leaped into Amy's arms, "At least we won't end up as skeletons"
"Easy Sonic" Amy placed Sonic down.
They leap over the hole and got over to the other side. They turned on each flashlight they had with them and searched through the temple, "Does this remind you of something familiar? Because I can't remember" Knuckles being clueless again.
"Lyric's tomb?" Tails guessed.
"Yeah that. But this is much older" Sonic said.
"That depends on how you define older" Amy said.
They came to a chamber but there was no gem visible there. But they found a carving on the wall that seems to present a dark cloud with red dots for eyes. Under it were something written. Amy was able to read ancient writings. But when she read the writings, it wasn't a very friendly writing.
"Oh, boy. It says it's evil and deadly. It's like it doesn't want us to get the black heart gem" Amy said.
"You mean like a curse?" Sonic asked.
"I'm not so sure. But whatever that represent it looks demonic" Amy shudders.
"Demonic? Please, I don't believe in demons. Maybe that writing is just trying to scare us" Sonic scoffed.
"Stubborn boy" Amy pouts.
"I'm not being stubborn, Ames. Every tomb we've been into always has a scary warning writings to scare intruders. Let's find the black heart gem thingy and get out of here" Sonic said.
"Fine by me" Amy said as they keep searching.
Then Sticks sensed another trap, "STOP!" She yelled and threw her boomerang and it was struck down by several arrows.
"Man, these people really aren't friendly!" Knuckles said.
"Well you know security at stores and banks" Tails said.
"Hey guys! I found a damaged wall. And I really see something shiny" Sonic does a spin dash to destroy the wall. The wall crumbled and there stood the black jewel heart on a pillar, "Guys, we just found the jewel" Sonic said.
"Careful, Sonic! We know what happens if we take the artifact, it will trigger a trap" Amy said.
"I'll be careful" Sonic grabs the gem. He looks at it and saw it shine, "See it's totally safe. What did I-...UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Sonic felt an uncontrollable black smoke enter his mouth.
"SONIC!" Amy screamed in horror as she ran up to him.
"Uhhhh…." Sonic faints but Amy managed to catch him before he hit his head on the floor. The heart gem fell to the floor but didn't shatter.
"Sonic. Speak to me!" Amy shook Sonic.
"I…. don't….. feel….. so good" Sonic moans and can see he's blacking out.

Much later, he was brought back to his hut and was given a blanket and ice bag. He was half-awake but still weak to move. His blurry vision was seeing a blur pink person in front of him, "Uhhh…..I feel so weak and exhausted. Am I dead?" Sonic groaned.
"Far from it. The gem really done it" Amy said.
"From what I remember, it was black smoke. Sleeping gas?" Sonic said.
"That or it's the curse. I don't know but you need some rest" Amy said.
"If Eggman comes out, tell him I'm a walking zombie" Sonic rolled his eyes.
"I will. See you around" Amy kissed Sonic on the cheek.
"Gross! But cute. This is no romantic kiss, Ames" Sonic said.
"I know but I get too compassionate with you" Amy smiled.
"You're a true friend Amy" Sonic chuckled.
While his friends are away, the strange black heart gem was near Sonic's table stand. Sonic's eyes glowed red for a few seconds before he drifted off to sleep.
