Chapter 2! Horray it's alittle longer this time!

Shadow was at his house sleeping peacefully on the couch. He had a long days' work at GUN, plus he had to fill in for Rouge since she was soo concern about that hedgehog. Then there was a knock at the door. Shadow didn't answer it. Several more knocks were heard but the black hedgehog continued to ignore them. Then there was a loud crash, Shadow turned around quickly to see Amy in the doorway and the others behind her.

"What you PEOPLE WANT with me!?" the dark hedgehog shouted angrily.

"We need you to look for Sonic!" Cream explained moving in front. "Would you please accept our favor?"

"No!" Shadow responded putting one of the throw pillows over his head.

"Why not?" asked Rouge. "You have nothing better to do!"

"Sure I do!" Shadow snapped. "I have to clean, wash dishes and AVOID YOU PEOPLE!"

"Please Shadow!" Tails pleaded. "We have to look for the Master Emerald pieces, leaving you the only one available!"

"You can forget it!" the black hedgehog shouted, tossing himself to the other side of the couch.

"Look Shadow," Knuckles started. "I know Sonic can be annoying as hell, but you are the only one who can find him."

"FINE!" the grouchy-hog screamed as the others cheered. Then the orange fox pulled out a map and showed it to the dark hedgehog.

"Okay so this is where we have to travel the outer region of Mobius." Tails explained, circling the map with his finger to show Shadow. "I'd observed the scene and the best direction is the southeast."

"Whatever..." Shadow replied, annoyed as he snatched the map from Tails and started walking towards the door.

"Good Luck!" Cream cheered as Cheese waved.

"Yeah!" Rouge joined in. "And don't die!"

Shadow rolled his eyes, grabbed his jacket and bag of supplies and exited the house.

Shadow POV

Why the hell did they have to use me, of all people to search for this blue bastard. I mean...I could have looked for the Master Emerald with the rest of them, leaving the pink hedgehog girl find her boyfriend.

I began walking through town, knocking down any pedestrians were in my path. The ones that were tossed over would roll their eyes in annoyance or say death threats under their breathe. Once I got to Mount Mobi, a volcano they is near the outskirts of Metropolis it was already dark. So I unpack my tent and sleepbag, ate a tuna fish sandwich that I brought and 'hit the hay'.

This was not bad for my first night out in the open with no company but my Maria doll. I grabbed her from out of my bag and held her tight. Then I turn off my flashlight and went to sleep.

"Howdy!" a voice greeted as I opened my eyes to spot who was speaking to me. He was a short yet older beaver with an Indiana Jones outfit and a stick in his hand.

"Thank goodness you're alright! I was thinking you were already dead!" the beaver sighed in relief.

"Um who are you?" I asked as the beaver laughed.

"I'm Bucky, the owner of Bucky's Buddies Barn!"

"Which is?" I questioned Bucky as he answered.

"A nature habitat for chaos without a home!"

No wonder I don't know what that place is...

"Okay...well I need to go back to traveling...so..." I got up and packed my tent, sleepbag and everything else I took out and started walking.

"Wait!" Bucky pleaded. "Can I come along?"

"No! This is my quest, not yours!" I continued to walked up the dirt paths, leaving the beaver alone.

Some people are really strange...What kind of person acts a random stranger to go with him? Apparently he does...

Several hours of wandering later I still haven't found the blasted idiot anywhere! And I ended up in a place full of old buildings and ruins.

"This is POINTLESS!? It's been two days!" I was setting up camp for the night, complaining as I worked then I heard rustling in the nearby bushes.

Who's in the bush? Well I guess you have wait and see! If you like this story so far please favorite, follow and review! Bye!
