Chapter 2: Shadows may crawl

Ok what's about to happen is going to need an explanation. So incase you need one a brief recap. At the conclusion of "In Your Dreams", Sonic the Mage and the Warriors of Virtue defeated Mr. N. and destroyed his nightmare factory. A portal was created in the explosion, rising from a puddle of black slime and that portal led Mage home and he took the others with him. That black slime is called "void matter". It is being used a renewable energy source. It can also open portals to other worlds. Far away in a power plant using void matter a leaky pipe is steadily dripping the substance, creating a puddle about a foot in diameter close to some dynamo. At that moment a worker came into the room.

"We need to get a janitor in here". The worker was checking the meters. Everything was normal until… "What the?" The readings were steadily increasing. The dynamos were getting louder. "I need some help down here!" The power output just kept rising. Suddenly electricity started to rise from the generators. All of it was being fed into that puddle of void matter. A vortex started to form. Wind was blowing, sparks were flying. "What's going on down - holy!"

A few other men started to arrive to see what was up. "What did you do?" "Nothing, the dynamos just started generating more and more!" Then, all of a sudden a shape started to emerge from the vortex. A tall skinny individual with bright white eyes. Its body pitch black. Its shape was constantly shifting; its edges were blurry and shaking.

"The devil is upon us!"

Quickly, more figures started emerging from the portal, all different sizes and shapes. The power plant started to shake. The building was crashing down.
