Chapter 2

Shadow entered his house, holding the notebook. His house was pretty well furnished-black couch, black table, black rug under the table, black flat-screen-just not very colorful. He tossed the notebook on the table. He sat down on the couch and turned on the television. He flipped through several channels before he turned it off. He looked at the notebook and picked it up. He read through the back of the front cover. "'Whoever's name is written is this notebook will die. A cause of death can be written along with a within forty seconds of writing the name. If a cause of death is not written, the person will simply die of a heart attack...' I wonder..."

Shadow picked up a pen on the table and started writing. "Doctor Ivo Robotnik." He thought for a second. "Electrocution." 'He's always working with some kind of robot. If this thing works, it'll look like an accident,' he reasoned.

Sonic ran around Eggman's latest robot, dodging the heavy weapon's fire with ease. "Blasted hedgehog!" Eggman yelled. "Stand still!"

Sonic smirked. "Why do you even bother, egg head? I've been through this fight with you so many times already."

Eggman growled as he continued firing. This time, Sonic just stood there with his arms crossed. Instead of running, he just hop-skipped out of the way of each missile. "Let's see...now for the weak spot..." Sonic spotted an exposed wire on the robot's left leg. "That looks vulnerable." Sonic got down and prepared a spin dash. He launched himself full speed at the wire. It severed instantly.

There was a loud crackle. The robot seized up. There was louder crackle and a large burst of electricity broke through the glass of the head of the robot. Sonic got out of the way as the robot collapsed to the ground.

"Looks like that's another win for me, uh?" Sonic said cockily. He frowned. Most of the time, he always shot up into the air in his Egg-mobile, cursing him. Sonic sniffed the air. Burning skin. He bolted over the fallen robot. "Eggman!" he called. No response. He pushed aside the red-hot shrapnel. He gasped a fell back at what he saw. It was body of Doctor Ivo Robotnik, charred black.

"Heh heh heh," Ryuk laughed. He was watching the events of the fight unfold. "Someone already found the Death Note; that was no accident." Sonic backed away and looked around frantically. Then, with lightning speed, he ran away. "I wonder..." Ryuk mused, following Sonic's trail. "Perhaps he would have an idea."
