Book Two: Chapter Twenty-Five: More Riddles?
June 28: Tails's Lab: 8:00
Tails was already in his lab studying everything that has happened and what might become of it, when he came across more of Mobius's history. It was hidden for so long, because of erosion done to the stone. He began to decode it until he came across a set of paragraphs talking about an epic battle.
Tails: "To Make Darkness Go Away- It is not always as simple as darkness battling the light and losing. There are some battles, in which light and darkness battle light and darkness. When this happens, the Impure One must be defeated in battle or all hope is lost. The worlds themselves shall fall apart and all life will die out. Unless..." Hmmm... it doesn't give a name... but here's the rest: "...can rise again and defeat the Impure One, all will be lost." Guess if we don't defeat Demise, there won't be any "we". Better go tell the others what I found...
Tails printed out a copy of the paragraph, and ran off to tell everyone.
Meanwhile...
Hillside: 8:15
Sonic and everyone but Shadow were talking about what had happened yesterday when Tails came running up to them. He had a piece of paper in his hand.
Sonic: Watcha' got there Tails?
Tails held up the paper and everyone read it.
Amy: What is it?
Tails: It's part of our history. I found this while I was studying and researching. As you can see, some of it is missing because it was too worn away to decode...
Sonic: Can't you guess?
Tails: No, I need a positive answer or all the research I will do on this paragraph will be wrong.
Amy: Don't you have any idea who it is?
Tails: Actually, I only have a clue. The name was three words long first of all, the first letter was "S" and the last letter was "G".
Sonic: That could be anyone on Mobius though, Tails.
Amy: We need a way to...
Cosmo: Ah!
Everyone turned around and saw the clones. Sonic and Knuckles charged them all. Then, a blast came out of the sky and hit half of them, but more appeared replacing the destroyed ones.
??: You ought to let me.
Shadow landed between Sonic and Knuckles and the clones.
Sonic: You know you need to stop that...
Shadow: Like I care...
Shadow dashed off. He reappeared and sliced two of the clones in half. He continued until they were all gone. Then, Shadow warped away.
Sonic: Well at least the clones are gone...
Tails: Cosmo...why'd you scream?
Cosmo: One of its arms grabbed me by my arm, but when I screamed it vanished. It left me with this mark.
Cosmo pulled her sleeve up revealing three scratches, the middle one longer. They turned black and then vanished into thin air.
Tails: Those weren't from the clones...they couldn't have been...
Cosmo: Then what was it from?
Tails: I don't know, but it seemed that whatever it was, it was very persistent and serious with this.
Cosmo: I know it's gone, but it still hurts...
Tails: Let's just hope whatever that was doesn't come back...
Meanwhile...
Demise's Hideout: 8:30
Zyon: So why did you do that to her?
Demise: It's a curse mark activated by anger. When she gets mad, the curse activates, and the Flower of Darkness will come out of her. Then, I will be able to claim its power.
Zyon: So what you just did?
Demise: Was for a reason.
Zyon: Then you really are after the Flower of Darkness, but didn't you also want the power of the Miracle Gems?
Demise: In time, you will see what i mean...
Zyon thinking: That much I get, but why can't I still remember anything? The last thing I do remember was seeing Demise, and then a big blank...what happened?
