An Ode to Chapter 2:

"The Dark mysterious one has made it's mark

Leaving one alone in the dark,

Sally standing alone on her own

One in the midnight seeming to be home,

The two will show identity to finally be seen

The day when the Black King captures the White's bright Knight to the White Queen,

Today, Tomorrow, which are we in

But why must the corrupted one continue his Sin?"

-------------------- Rotor's Sky Copter (Just upon sight of Robotropolis)

Bunnie fidgeted restlessly under her small lavender blanket, her robotic arm had a small short circuit before lift-off and the throbbing was inevitable. Diminutive sparks cut into her flesh, tiny electrocutions ran through her dainty southern body. "R-R-Rotor, Iah' think we needs to land, dear. This arm here is just killin' me!", she clutched her metallic hand out of sheer pain.

"I'd like to Bunnie, but … we're flying over unstable terrain.", Rotor retorted with a rigid, tact answer.

"Rotor, dear I reallah' don't think I'av got a real choice…", Bunnie squirmed once more, her arm charging more currents into her feeble body.

Antoine turned to his one affection, "Eet weel be alright Bunnie.. Just a leetle more to Robotropilis.", he deftly placed his hand to her lap, the resting place of the painful apparatus, and laid his hand in hers. His blue adorning, sorrowful eyes met hers as she twisted and writhed slowly between electrical currents.

Her jaded eyes glistened back at him, his warm hands seemed to melt away the sudden shocks. Everything began to seem alright.

Rotor's radio abruptly received a signal.

"Zzt… Come in Rotor…zzt.."

Rotor picked up the microphone with haste, "Come in Tails, do you hear me?"

"Rotor, I've got major activity near the Marble Zone…", Tails voice was received dimly through the haphazard radio.

"Tails, how did you reach the Marble Zone?.. Weren't you supposed to monitor over the groups of forests?", Rotor grew vexed, he wondered to himself how Tails would stray so far away from the forests..

------------------------------ Neo Crystal Cathedral

Geoffrey St. John gradually uncluttered his eyes of blurry apparitions of cloudy stone and the figure in front of him. He congested his vision, then opened his eyes again. His sparkling blue eyes gave a loathing welcome to the hatred that stood firmly in front of him.

"Wha- what am I doing here?", his English accent rang throughout the empty, hallowed cavity of the sanctum. His chains clashed together as he thrashed to release himself from the imprisoning granite walls.

"Ah, my little pet.. I'm so glad to see you've had a good rest before your uttermost trials…", the unfamiliar articulated in turn to his captive's sudden arousal. He leaned over coolly and brushed his rough hands against his glossy, downy cheek in a gesture of domination over Geoffrey, the helpless skunk embraced in chains that enforced steep capture.

"What the hell do you want with me?", Geoffrey struggled to contain his calm disposition, as his teeth clinched together in a indication of angst against the imprisoning , tightening lengths that bound him to the keystones. His facial expression twisted into a snarl as the foreign one simply turned to his large crystal and ignored the interrogation of his prisoner.

The individual curved his palms and fluttered them gently over the multihued crystal. The sparkle and shine outlasted over the darkness for a short time as the vista of a petite, and juvenile two-tailed fox, surrounded by ruins and shrubbery, came into view in the interior of the glass.

The unknown shadow turned to Geoffrey, "I believe.. The condor won't need the hunt for this meal..", the hood kept stable as interment of insane hilarity again ensued.

---------------------------- Marble Zone (Tails' Position)

"Where…..am I?", the disorientated fox leisurely came back into reality. "How long have I been here?", he asked himself as he lifted himself into the air, gaining altitude with his pair of tails. He glanced down and saw his broken headset, as he hovered closer to the height of the small column.

He tried to keep his bearings. He contemplated and thought for a while, holding the broken microphone as he sat on the pillar.

It had been several years since his last visit to the zone, and everything remained unfamiliar.

Unexpectedly, numerous howls of monochrome wolves whistled through the winds. It was now night, and closely approaching midnight, the violet haze positioned itself in on the zone, and delirium set in on his mind. He could no longer see past the end of his pointed, wet charcoal nose. He cried for help, "Someone… Help!!!!!!"

Bloodshot eyes revealed themselves through the vapor. Dribble that concocted of blood and saliva flowed freely from the tributaries of the wolves' chops. The alpha male's paws grasped the ground until clay accessed the break of the earth. The black claws grazed upon the soil, an in attempt to advance. The brows of the caving eyes infringed upon each other in association, bringing an angry watch upon the tender Miles.

Tails eyes widened three times their mass, his gloved hands grew sweaty and cold. Fear pulsed his nervous system and made him unable to move. Paralysed, and soon to be betrothed in combat that would soon determine his life, and also isolated from his fellow furries.

---------------------------- Blight Echidnapolis Highlands | Mobian Time: 11:30

Charmy's translucent insect wings flickered together furiously to keep him afloat. "Knuckles, why are we out here? I hear the Pack approaching, and all this talk about an emerald? Nonsense! That weasel wanted to make a fool out of you.."

Knuckles focused* on the energy pitches that extended through the air.

*The Sense was a common skill passed to Guardians, they could feel and "sense" for Chaos energy.

He halted unexpectedly. His black pupils seemed to turn to porcelain as he gawked towards the humongous plateau that stood before him.

"What is it Knux?", Vector's gruff voice wavered through the walls of clay in a gargantuan ricochet.

"There's something up there… I don't know what it is, but it IS SOMETHING.", Knuckles' eyes shifted in a stint to the vast puffs of zephyrs that soared to the top of the peaked, flat surface. A pebble of a massive boulder pieced off and fell unto the unsuspecting Chaotix.

"Watch out!', Espio's voice faded as he deteriorated into camouflage.

Knuckles' dreadlocks converted to the position of latching to the side of his neck, eyes wide open and ample, his maw dropped as the boulder almost came crashing down upon the dearth, tiny group of warriors.

Mighty's muscular arms breached a gap in the air as he caught the rock in a wedge between his shoulder and forearms. "err…", he mumbled as he held strong, not losing stamina as he spoke. His sweat drenched his eyes and stung them. "Get out.. From… it… I can't hold it… forever…"

Knuckles ruptured the portion of rather large broken terrain into gravel using his jagged, keen coordination and iron fist. He picked up his ailing comrade. "You okay, Mighty?", he solicited.

"I don't know, Knuckles… Something would have had to break that rock to cause that kind of disturbance, know what I mean?", Mighty wiped the sweat from the crest of his brow.

Espio supplemented to the conversation, "What would be out this late though?"

Vector turned off his cassette player and turned back to the group, "The Pack is out, but they don't come anywhere NEAR Echidapolis… or the Geo Gantry Plains."

Charmy muted his low buzzing and verbalized in understandable speech, "I heard something over in Marble Gardens earlier…"

-------------------------- Neo Crystal Cathedral (Grand Voyeur)

The individual stepped down from his pedestal, knocking over several glass figurines while swinging his gem tinted arm wildly. "What… the hell is out there, in deed.."

-------------------------- Neo Crystal Cathedral (Geoffrey's Imprisonment Room)

Geoffrey recuperated, hanging by his wrists, and feet exhausted laying almost lifelessly, bleeding on the corn wheat hued hay.

That fucker… he trounced me and left me here… but I'm not fatally wounded..

WHAT DOES he want from me..?

I just don't understand.

He tussled with the durable iron, but to no avail. His tail was scuffed, and abrasions blemished his silky flesh along with literal wounds. He blinked as a trickle of crimson drew itself away from the haemorrhaging scar on his flawed mug.

He batted his eyelids several times, trying to cope with the sinuous fluid gushing down his forehead and wounds as one small beam of light flickered from the stone hinges.

-------------------------------- Sally's Route Out of Crystal Silace

Sally's boots floated in mud, sand and dust enveloped her body and brought her into spasms of coughing and writhing from the harsh conditions. Her vest was torn, from protruding branches of deadened trees and shrubs. Her feet grasped the trail that finally appeared to lead out of the tormenting nightmare of the forest… or was it?

-------------------------------- Sonic's Route through Crystal Silace

"Sally!!!!! SAAAAAAL!!!! Are you out here?", Sonic's voice blistered the thorns of the gloomy, dimly lit grave that was the forest floor. He continued his fast pace through the forest, a wave of powder and filth was boosted from his fleeting ruby red shoes, sprawling themselves out to top speed in the course of the woodland.

He took a look around, and saw nothing but cadavers and raw bones.

He suddenly whiplashed with dread and alarm, and made a pick up on his velocity, heading south, the exact opposite of Sally, and the direct direction to the spawn of hell itself.
