Hey guys it's me again. Sorry for the long-ish wait my brother was an idiot and wouldn't get off the computer whenever I got home. Anyway I'd like to hear some feedback about the story and let's get a move on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog. I only own Skylar and Tess.

Chapter 4: Example of Chaos

(Tess's point of view)

"Skylar come on we have to go." This idiot is taking forever to get ready.

"Hold on! And who are you to talk, you take all day to get ready on normal days." He finally walked out of the house… with nothing on him.

"Skylar *sigh* where's your stuff?" I pinched my brow.

"What? You never used your quills as a storage space?" he just shrugged.

"You know that's impossible."

"No it isn't. We guards learn how to do it for knives just in case." That dumb look on his face when he explains stuff just annoys me.

"Do you always have to win in arguments?"

"Yes I do." He walks off towards the gate.

"I hate him some times."

I had to jog until I caught up to him. When we reached the gate he started to have a long conversation with the guard. Some of the things I overheard in their conversations are things that boys would only talk about.

I rolled my eyes and whispered "Boys."

"Alright seeya Lance." He waved goodbye to the guard and walked over to me.

"So, ready to go?"

"If you don't have anything else to say to your guard buddies, then yes I would like to go." I walked off without him.

"Hey, wait for me!"

(Skylar's point of view)

"Ow!" me and Tess just walked through another bush and I got slapped in the face by a branch if you're wondering.

"Tess, make sure I get through before you let go of the branch." My nose hurts a lot now.

"No, promises." And she kept walking

I just made a 'hmph' like noise and continued to walk. Then another branch hit me in the face. This time I actually feel blood running down my nose.

"SON OF A–!" I quickly slapped a hand over my nose which hurt even worse than the branch.

"Skylar what's wrong." She turned towards me and gave me a look.

"That freaking branch made my nose bleed and it HURTS!" what I said sounded muffled through my hand.

"I thought you were a tough guard who doesn't cry." I hate the sarcasm in her voice.

"Ha-ha very funny Tess." I just walked off. My nose still hurts a lot but at least the bleeding stopped.

"It was just a joke Skylar."

"I don't agree with your idea of a joke." I continued to walk off without her.

"Don't be a jerk." She turned me around by grabbing my shoulder.

If only she knew that I was just joking about being mad- well I am mad about the branch thing, but still I'm only joking about being mad at her.

"I can't believe you thought that I was mad at you for your joke." I couldn't help but break a smile at her confusion.

"You can really act well." She recovered quicker than she normally did.

"Um…thanks?" I'm really confused about how she can change her expressions so quickly.

"I think we're near the next village. Hopefully Sonic is there."

"He'd usually be running around, so no, I don't think he's here. Also he's in Greenhill not in Emerald Forest."

"Well you're the one with dark chaos powers so why don't you just teleport us over there."

"I don't know how to use my powers properly. I only just figured out that I had them."

"It was only a suggestion." We stayed silent for a few more minutes.

(No point of view)

As the two neared the next village Skylar's ear twitched. Tess looked at him to make sure she saw it right. Just when she was about to look away Skylar's ear twitched again.

"Skylar what are you hearing?" Tess looked at Skylar with a questioning look.

"I don't know because my ear keeps on ringing, but the ringing is very quiet." He looked back at Tess.

"Is it just me or do you see smoke Skylar?" he looked to where she was staring and his eyes widened in horror.

"It wasn't ringing Tess it was screaming." They both looked at each other with the same expression, and then raced off towards the burning village.

When they got there all they saw was destruction. Everything was burning and crumbling. There was a fight going on between a fast moving character and multiple robots. When I mean multiple I mean about thirty to forty in one spot.

The character seemed like a black blur by how fast it is moving. He was yelling out what seemed like random phrases that created an explosion. As the blur moved it seemed to blip around to enemies that were far away.

"Who on Mobius is this guy?" Tess just stared at the figure.

"I don't know but judging from the explosions he knows how to use chaos." Skylar looked like he had an idea.

"Well aren't me going to help him?" she looked at him with a questioning look.

"You really forgot who I am haven't you." He looked at here with a smile.

"Well, have fun bashing heads. I'm grabbing my sword." She unzipped the backpack on her back to get her weapon.

Skylar was rolling his arm to warm up and said, "You have fun with your sword, which is old-school, and I'll have fun breaking metallic skulls." He then ran towards the group of robots that the blur missed.

Every time that Skylar hit a robot it exploded instead of sparking while the robot was falling down.

"These robots are easier to destroy than last time." Tess then came in slashing a robot in half.

"It's like they're made out of a softer material."

"Well don't go dumbing that up just because I'm not as smart as others."

Just as they finished the group of robots the figure blipped in between them and spin kicked them. He charged his hands with chaos energy and pointed them at the two.

"Who are you and what are you doing?" he glared at Skylar and Tess while interrogating them.

"Um… hi?" Skylar didn't really know what to say with a chaos spear ready to be fired at his face.

"Skylar don't make it worse against the guy who can kill you easily." Tess was feeling uncomfortable as well, but had more common sense than Skylar did.

"You two shut up and tell me why you're here!" The figure turned out to be a red and black hedgehog. And then it hit Skylar.

"Hey you're Shadow the Hedgehog!"

"Skylar you're an idiot." If she could move she would've face palmed.

"What, he's the one that can teach me how to use my abilities."

"What are you talking about? From what I know you only know how to hit things on the head, and what in hell makes you think that I would help you." Shadow has no intentions to help anyone.

"I can control dark chaos energy, and I don't know how to use it on purpose. The only clue I got of how to use it is to use my emotions like rage, depression, and stuff like that."

"I don't have time for this." He started to walk off.

"Well at least I can get up now. Wait, what do you mean you don't have time to teach me?" he got up while yelling after Shadow.

"If you want to even be able to see me you have to learn by yourself." He then chaos controlled away.

"Skylar, how on Mobius do you expect that he would even look at you?" Tess had got up a few moments earlier.

"Tess, I have no clue." Skylar looked at where Shadow teleported away and then remembered the fact that they were in a village.

"Wait, what about the villagers that live here?" He was frantically looking around.

"I saw them in the fringe of the forest while fishing for my sword. I don't think they would set foot in this village until morning." Tess said pointing out that it was becoming night.

"Might as well spend the night in one of the houses, and none of them have the full roof." Skylar started to walk to the most untouched house.

Alright guys that's another chapter done. Hoped you like the insert of Shadow into the chapter. Don't worry Skylar will learn to use his powers soon enough. By the way dark chaos moves are a little more devastating than normal.

Review this and I'll see you next time!
