Dawn-Na was expecting a lecture from Mephiles but the hedgehog didn't bother to yell at her, instead he peered out the window wacthing the lights shine off his crystals. He figured Shadow was on to him, He had to know where Rouge was, then an idea came.
He started to chuckle, this made Dawn-Na raise a brow. Mephiles turned to her.
" I figured out on how to get to there hiding spot" he start to melt into the floor, his form dissolving into liquid darkness. after shifting around in the spot he emerged with a new form.
The grey female Echidna was baffled at seeing her King's new appearance.
...
Shadow stetted off with the next Team, Tails was tolerable for his was able to pinpoint the location of the emerald, pulse with Sonia on the team Amy wouldn't be pestering the male hedgehog and the kitsune.
Sonia didn't like how the hedgehog treated her so she and Amy formed a team against he boys ins finding the emeralds first.
Shadow gladly accepted, anything to keep there mouths shut.
...
To the girls luck they were able to recover the green emerald. Shadow and Tails were surprised that the girls were able to find it.
" Now" Sonia said with one hand on her hip " You mister owe us girls an apology". Shadow grabbed the emerald out the females hand " maybe latter Princess" he mocked. Sonia folded her arms in frustration as Amy came between them and grabbed Sonia's arm with one hand and Shadow's shoulder with the other. Tails knew what Shadow as doing and grabbed on to the hedgehog's other shoulder.
Saying the words the group was gone from sight.
...
One more Emerald to find and it was located in tropical jungle, strange that the last emerald would be located near Soleanna, He, Silver and Knuckles were very careful with looking for the gem.
Silver used his powers to pull back vines, lift up broken tree branches and rock. Knuckles took to the sky by gliding over the area for anything.
The three came up empty handed but a noise in the brush startled them. all three prepared to attack any creature that would dare to harm them.
Instead of a creature a 6 year old little boy emerged, he looked scared with those wide pale powered blue eyes. His pale black fur all messed up with dirt and scratches.
The Child appear to be an Echidna, The little boy stood frozen in front of the three, his legs buckled in fear.
"...W...Who are you" the boy asked. Knuckles who hasn't seen another of his kind since Tikal approached the boy.
" Are you alright?" he asked kneeing down to the child's eye level " where are your mother and father?".
The Echidna child threw himself into Knuckles and started to bawl "...I don't know " The child cried " I was told to run and not look back".
Silver had an idea what happen to this Child's parents and felt sorry for the child. Shadow felt some pitty for the boy but knew they had to move on.
" Listen little boy" Shadow growled " were busy so if you wouldn't mind..."
The little Echidna reached in to his dreads and pulled out a red chaos emerald.
"...I...I found it while fleeing and I was going to turn it in..." Shadow snatched the emerald out of the child's hands
" Where did you get this?" he asked, he was now very suspicious of the child.
" Shadow" Silver snapped and went to the child's defense " that enough he's only a child". Shadow floded his arms.
" We came for what we need" Shadow said " we better get..."
" Wait!" The Echidna child approached Shadow and tugged on his arm " Take me with you" he begged " I'm lost, scared and..." tears emerged from his eyes.
" We shouldn't leave him here" Knuckles said " he can stay in mobodoom until we find his parents". he looked down at the kid " what's your name little boy"
"...Danny" The child said. in his mind he wondered what this placed 'mobodoom was. Shadow sighed. Silver and Knuckled all grabbed hold of Shadow. Danny was already holding on as the hedgehog said the words.
...
Danny was confused to see a deserted area, nothing but dead tress and dirt, He watched Silver tap one of the trees in a rhythm and a portal appeared revealing Mobodoom.
No one didn't see it for Danny's pale power blue eye flickered bright green for a split second.
Next Chapter...The true identity of Danny the Echidna...And you'll see why I named him after voice actor Dan Green.
