Chapter 3:

Sonic and Shadow teleported near Lyric's tomb, but there was no one there.

Sonic: he couldn't have gone far.

Shadow: I think I know in what direction he went.

He pointed at the tomb's door, it was destroyed.

Sonic: well I guess we follow.

Shadow: let's move.

And they both rushed inside the tomb.

Meanwhile at Eggman's fortress

"YES! YES!" said Eggman evilly. "I finally did it! After all these years! I finally watched every single episode of Star Trek! MOUHAHAHAHA!"

"Doctor Eggman, Someone is knocking at the door, and by knocking I mean violently punching it." Said Orbot.

"What? Who could it be? And how did he avoid my security system?" He started the surveillance camera near the door.

"It cannot be! YOU!"

Back to shadow and Sonic

They were both advancing in tomb looking for the "Fake hedgehog".

"Do you really have to say "bonce pad" every time?!" said shadow angry.

"Sorry it's just a reflex… Bonce pad!" answered sonic.

"GOD it's annoying"

"By the way I was surprised that you came to us, I thought you might go solo on him" said sonic.

"I made a promise to the sow" said shadow.

"Sow?"

"That how you call a female badger" answered shadow.

"Oh… yeah I knew that."

"Sure you did" said shadow sarcastically.

"You guys sure became close in a short time."

"Do you really want to talk about this now?" said shadow annoyed.

"Well the platforming is so boring, we have to find a way to pass time" Answered sonic.

"Well you have a point; also sorry for ruining your date with that pink hedgehog" said shadow.

"Amy? It wasn't a date! It was just a friendly dinner between two friend of the opposite sex who obviously feels attracted to each other and… Yeah it was totally a date" admitted sonic.

"Yeah, sorry for ruining that"

"Well it would have been awkward anyway." Said sonic. "It's always kinda awkward when it's just the two of us"

"Like it was between Knuckles and That rouge girl at first?"

"Not that awkward" Answered sonic laughing a bit."

"And they became a great couple… well until Rouge left god knows where…. Well you see my point"

"kinda, it's nice to just talk about your feeling with a friend sometimes." Said sonic

"I have to admit, it is… we will never tell anyone about that." Said shadow.

"Never" said sonic.

Meanwhile, At Tails workshop

"The tornado is ready, we can go" said Tails.

"It's time punch some hedgehogs" said knuckles exited.

"Just try not to punch Shadow… and sonic too I guess." Said sticks.

"I know I might be the best moment to think about this but… we didn't see Eggman all day, usually he is at least shoehorned at the last minute."

"He might still be, only one way to find out. Get on!" said Tails.

Back at the hedgehogs

Shadow and sonic finally managed to get to the room where lyric was sealed, and there he was.

"So we finally meet, Fake Hedgehog!" said Sonic.

"Fake hedgehog?" said shadow.

"You know what I mean!"

There was a moment of silence, and then the other hedgehog talked.

"is one of you familiar with the world: Iblis"

"what?" said sonic.

"What is Iblis?! Answer me!" said shadow.

"The object of your destruction, I thought he might have been sealed here. But apparently this was the prison of a weaker begin"

"Who are you?" said sonic.

"You can call me, Mephilis."
