DEATH STATION

*Sniff* My best friend Curtis is leaving on Monday. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

CHAPTER 2

EXPLORING THE STATION

When they arrived at the station, they stopped dead in their tracks and stared at the sign. By the looks of the shadows, it had said 'Welcome to Detatoh Station' but the 't' and the 'o' had fallen off; the sign now said 'Welcome to Death Station'

When they all saw the sign, a cold chill was sent up their spines, making them shiver.

"That is so scary." Tails whimpered. The others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Are you sure this is the right station?" Knuckles asked. Sonic looked at the train schedule he had in his hand.

"Yep. This is it... I guess." Sonic said. The others lighted off, but Shadow, unlike the others, wasn't easily convinced.

"You guess?" He asked sternly. Sonic just shrugged.

"Yeah, I mean, it says right here: Westropolis to Mobotropolis: 20.00. Platform 3. Detatoh Station." Sonic told Shadow. He walked up and looked over Sonic's shoulder at the schedule.

"Huh. I guess this is the right station; but why does it look so... so... rundown?" Shadow asked the group. Rouge stepped forward.

"Well, I guess there's only one to find out." She said as she walked off onto the station. (A/N: ... It's so tempting to go 'FIGHT!') The others started to follow.

When they reached the end of a seemingly long tunnel, their eyes widened at the state of the station. Shops everywhere were barred up and shut down, there were big gapping holes in the windows, the steps, even the platform. There were no signs of life anywhere, and to make matters worse, the sky was dark and ominous.

There was an awfully long pause between the group, but eventually, Amy spoke up.

"Oh my God, look at this place! What on Mobius happened here?"

Knuckles shook his head. "I dunno, but, if anything, I don't want to find out."

"Hey Sonic, what was the platform number again?" Shadow asked

"Oh uh... 3." Sonic replied. Shadow started walking up the ramp to the bridge above, but Sonic stopped him.

"Hey, where 'ya goin' Shad-man... or are you to scared to handle a rundown station?" Sonic asked in a mocking voice. An anger mark formed on Shadow's head as he wound his fist back and sent it flying into Sonic's lower jaw. Sonic fell back as Shadow continued to walk on. But before he disappeared from view, he stuck his middle finger up at Sonic.

"Fuck you faker!"

Sweat drops appeared on the side of the other's faces as the started to follow Shadow, leaving Sonic in a daze on the floor.

When they reached platform 3, they saw that a train was already at the opposite platform; but the strange thing was that even though the train was packed, only one person got off.

"Hey, who's that who just got off?" Tails asked. The others shrugged.

"Well, from what I saw, he was like Shadow, only white." A voice informed beside them.

The others turned to see Sonic walking up to the group, everyone but Shadow, who was clearly deep in thought. Rouge got concerned.

"Shadow?" She asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.

A loud gasp came from Shadow and Rouge backed away.

"White fur... red stripes... No! No, it can't be..." Shadow thought aloud to himself.

Sonic was about to ask what was up with Shadow, when the train began to depart. Once the train had gone, Shadow's eyes widened in horror as he saw who this mysterious hedgehog was.

"Shade!"...

Okay, honestly, hands up if you kinda saw that coming? *Raises hand*

Sorry there wasn't that much exploring, which kind of defeats the title, laziness is kicking in again.

R&R please
