Chapter 4

"I'm going too", Shadow insisted. "What?" said Knuckles, "I can do this myself and I don't need you!" Knuckles didn't want to stoop down to relaying on Shadow. "Maybe he should come Knuckles", said Tails, "after all, Shadow is about as strong as either of us." "Fine", said Knuckles and the trio went in search of the girls.

"I'm picking up a distress signal around here", said Shadow. "Good thing you're a G.U.N. agent now, huh Shadow", said Tails. Soon, the boys reached the graves where Amy and Rouge were dragged down. However, before there were only two tombstones, but when they found them there were five more.

"Its right here", said Shadow. "So, where are they?" asked Knuckles. Tails examined the tombstones. "This can't be!" He said taken aback. "What is it Tails?" asked Knuckles. Tails turned around revealing what was on the tombstones. The two read "Amy Rose" and "Rouge the Bat". "How can this be?" said Shadow. "Are they really..." Before he could finish, white arms grabbed the three and pulled them in. Then, letters began to form on the three blank tombstones. They read "Knuckled the Echidna", "Miles 'Tails' Prower", and "Shadow the Hedgehog".

A while later, Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles awoke and found themselves in a dark room. "Where are we?" asked Tails.
