Here's chapter 12, btw, I realised I forgot someone in the first few chapters, Silver the Hedgehog. Sorry about that, just pretend he's been there the whole time as a very silent back ground character. Ok, without further ado, chapter twevle of Sonic X Season 4!

Rouge sighed as she sat down.

She knew something was troubling Shadow, but she didn't want to push it.

'I hope he's ok...' she thought.

Cosmo brought over a plate with a grilled cheese sandwhich. "Here you go, Rouge."

"Thanks, Cosmo. Glad to have something that won't give me a cavity."

Cosmo chuckled as she set the plate down and went to help Amy and Blaze with the rest.

Shadow came in at that moment, and sat down beside Rouge.

"How you doin?" the ivory bat asked.

"I'm fine." Shadow replied. After the tears had finally stopped, he had cleaned up and come to the kitchen.

Cream and Cheese walked over with sandwhich. "Here Shadow, I know you must be hungry, so Blaze and I made you a special one."

"Thanks." Shadow said as bit into the sandwhich. He was hungry. Mephiles hadn't fed him at all except for an apple.

Everyone was happily enjoying their meals in silence. Then Shadow paused.

"Something wrong?" Sonic asked.

"...I can sense a Chaos emerald."

"A Chaos emerald? We gotta get there before Mephiles and get it!" Amy said.

Everyone finished their meal in a hurry and headed for the bridge. Tails put a radar on the screen. It pinged, and a green dot appeared off to the right.

"Alright, let's get to that planet. Which is it?" Sonic asked.

"I don't beleive it. It's planet Marmolade." Tails murmured.

"Aw man, not that place again!" Knuckles groaned.

"Planet what?" Shadow asked.

"Marmolade. It's a long story, but we've been there. Which means we won't have any problems with the locals." Sonic explained.

The BT landed, and the passengars dissembarked.

"So, where's the emerald at?" Rouge asked.

"We don't have an exact location, but it's in town." Tails stated.

"Great, let's go!" Silver said. The Mobians reached the town, and decided to split up.

"Silver, you and I will check the east side." Shadow stated.

"Right." the snow white hedgehog nodded.

"If you find it, call us." Tails said. The two hedgehogs nodded and ran off.

Shadow growled in frustration. They had yet to find even a trace of the emerald.

"Where's that freakin emerald?" he grumbled.

"We'll find it. Eventually." Silver assured him.

"Maybe a bird's eye view'll help. Lift me up."

"OK."

Shadow was surrounded by a aqua green aura as he was lifted in to the air.

"See anything?" Silver called up to him. Shadow shook his head as he squinted in to the distance.

"I'll go ask around town, you just stay here." Silver ran off, leaving Shadow floating in the air.

"Wait! Let me down first! Silver!" Shadow yelled after him, but Silver was too far gone.

'Great...' he thought with a sigh.

"Aw well, it won't take him too long to get back. How long could he take?"

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Silver sat down in a chair in front of a Marmolayin with a crystal ball.

"Alright, so how does this work?" he asked the alien.

"Place something of importance to you in front of the ball, and I will tell you your future." the lady replied.

Silver thought for a minute, then pulled out a gem. It wasn't a Chaos emerald, but it was just as important to him. It had been a gift from his closest friend.

"Alright, I will now read your future." the lady placed her hands on the crystal ball and closed her eyes in concentration.

After a minute, she opened her eyes again and looked at Silver.

"I see a great challenge fast approaching you. You will need great courage and strength to overcome it."

"What's the challenge?" Silver asked worriedly.

"I cannot tell you, it is not my place to. But that is not all. I also see you and someone very close to you having to make a difficult choice. You and this person...have romance in your futures."

"I guess you can't tell me either of those?"

"She is someone you have always known, and have fiercely fought for."

"Ok, thanks I guess..."

Silver got up and left the fortune teller's tent, and went to the table across the street.

"Hey, I have a question. If you can really see the future, can you tell me who it is I'm supposed to be with?" the hedgehog asked.

"She is closer than you think." the man answered

"Thanks. That helps alot." Silver turned and left.

He spent an hour going from shop to shop, looking at the items available, and asking the same question over and over. Who was he meant to be with?

After leaving the last shop, he sighed.

"Oh well, I guess I'll figure it out eventually. Now, what was it I was supposed to do?" he thought for a minute, then his golden eyes widened.

"Oh shoot..." he muttered. He'd forgotten all about Shadow, whom he'd left suspended in the air an hour and a half ago.

He ran back to where he'd left the black and crimson hedgehog.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

"I'm gonna kill him. I swear to Chaos I'm gonna kill him." Shadow growled. He was STILL suspended in the air, and Silver had yet to come back.

"I'm gonna kill that naive idiot!"

He saw a white dot, and as it came closer he realised it was Silver.

"Heh heh, hey Shadow. I didn't find the emerald, which I've been looking for this whole time." Silver chuckled nervously as he looked up at the ebony hedgehog. Shadow's ruby eyes glared at him

"Silver, LET ME DOWN. NOW."

Silver let Shadow down, and Shadow landed on his feet.

"I'm gonna KILL YOU HEDGEHOG!" Shadow screeched.

"NOOO!" Silver whipped around and took off.

"COME BACK HERE!" Shadow yelled, racing after him.

Silver screamed as he ran through town. He didn't care about the curious stares he was attracting, he had a ticked off Shadow on his heels, and he wasn't about to stop and explain why he was screaming.

"SILVER!" he heard Shadow yell, and picked up the pace.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Sonic, Blaze, Rouge, and Amy were walking through town.

"I hope we find this emerald, if Mephiles gets his claws on it, we're in trouble." Amy sighed.

"Don't worry Amy, we'll find it." Sonic assured her. He was holding the purple emerald, as Chaos emeralds could sense eachother and draw whoever had them at the moment closer to it.

"I wonder how Shadow and Silver are doing?" Rouge asked aloud.

"I'm sure things are going great." Blaze answered.

Suddenly they heard a scream.

"HELP!"

Silver barreled past them, and Shadow soon after.

"Get back here, Silver!" he yelled.

The two hedgehogs were soon out of sight.

"What the heck was that about?" Amy asked.

"Think Silver will be ok?" Blaze asked.

"As long as he keeps running, he should be fine." Sonic answered with a smirk. Blaze looked at him irratably. "What? Nothin's gonna stop Shadow. Certainly not me when he's like this."

"Hey, we got Cosmo. If anything bad happens she can fix it." Rouge said.

"So anyway, let's see if we can find that emerald." Sonic started walking again, followed closely by Amy, with Rouge and a irritated Blaze behind them.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Silver cursed as he turned down a dead end alley. He stopped as he reached the brick wall.

"Darn it!" he turned around to run out of the alley, but Shadow was at the entrence.

Shadow was infront of him in an instant, and had him pinned to the wall by his neck.

"Come on Shadow, we can talk this out." Silver insisted nervously.

"You left me suspended in the air for an hour! What's there to talk about?" Shadow snapped.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh..." Silver gulped as he realised he couldn't think of a good excuse.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll make this quick." Shadow drew a fist back.

"Ahhhh!" Silver screamed.

"I haven't even hit you yet."

"No. Ahhhh!" Silver pointed behind him. Shadow looked back and saw a large group of shadows, led by Mephiles.

"Great..." Shadow muttered as he released Silver and turned around.

"Nice to see you again, Shadow. Having some issues with your friends?" Mephiles snickered.

Shadow and Silver got into fighting stances.

"Don't think you're off the hook." Shadow growled at Silver. Silver gulped as he looked away and directed his gaze at Mephiles. The demon snapped his fingers, and the shadows lunged forward.

Silver caught them all in a telekinitic hold, and Shadow destroyed them with Chaos spears.

Shadow turned to face Mephiles, but the demon was nowhere in sight.

"Shadow!" Silver screamed, and Shadow turned to see the white furred hedgehog trapped in a sleeper hold from behind by Mephiles.

"Let him go, Mephiles." Shadow ordered as he prepared a Chaos Spear, quite capable of missing Silver.

"I have a better idea. You come with me, and I won't hurt your little friend." Mephiles chuckled as he tightened his hold, cutting off Silver's breathing. Silver clawed at his arm, but Mephiles didn't let go.

Shadow saw the frightened look in Silver's eyes, and gritted his teeth. The Chaos Spear dissipated in his hand.

"That's what I thought." Mephiles opened a purple orb and it encased the trio.

"You said you'd let Silver go!" Shadow growled.

"I never said that." Mephiles laughed as two shadows appeared behind Shadow and latched onto him.

The three of them vanished.

Great, now Mephiles has Shadow and Silver. Will Sonic and the others be able to rescue the two hedgehogs? And will the Chaos emerald be found? Stay tuned to find out! R&R!
