Maria's messege
Tikal put her arms to her side when she saw that Shadow was satisfied with the victory he just won over Knuckles. She turned around and walked down the stairs toward Knuckles. She examined him to see if there were any broken bones or serious injuries. Shadow was quite annoyed by now. "I just followed this girl all the way up to this god forsaken place and she won't give even a strait answer!" He thought tapping his foot on the ground. After Tikal saw that Knuckles was ok she started back up at Shadow and came face to face with him again. "Now do you mind telling me why I'm here!?" Shadow shouted. Tikal leered at him and smiled. "She said patience wasn't yours. Now I believe her." She said as she walked around Shadow toward the master emerald. "Who are you talking about! You can't possibly mean Maria!" Shadow shouted after her. Tikal didn't answer. She stepped over to the Master Emerald and looked at it hard. "Hey! Did you hear me!" Shadow shouted coming up the steps after her. She still remained quiet as if to seemingly ignore the hedgehog. When Shadow got to the top of the steps he noticed that Tikal was looking strait into the emerald. "What are you doing?" Shadow asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Hush……look." Tikal said still staring into the emerald. Shadow didn't think he just did what she said. When he turned and looked into the emerald complete shock came over him. Because in the emerald there was a solid image of Maria. "How the hell?!" Shadow shouted with amazement. Tikal didn't answer she just hushed him again and motioned for him to continue to watch. He did and the image of Maria spoke. "Shadow, I'm sorry for not being there with you, but you have more important things to worry about than me. The evil I told you about in your dream…..It's growing stronger. There's nothing you can do for now, but when the time comes you will have to face this evil. I still don't know much about it…..all I know is that it's one you're familiar with. Shadow I have one last request…..please don't fight it alone. Get as much help as you can. Your power alone can't stop it. Please Shadow……" And with that last word the image faded into nothing. Tikal looked over at Shadow to see that he was still looking hard into the emerald. "Well, do you get what she is trying to tell you now?" Tikal asked in her normal tone. Shadow looked over at her and smiled. "Yeah…..I get it now….But it's only temporary. Do you get that?" Shadow said still smiling. "I understand." Tikal said with a smile of her own. Shadow started to walk away but turned and faced her one last time. "I never did get your name." Shadow said in his normal tone. "Tikal……Tikal the echidna." She said blushing. "Well thanks Tikal. See ya." And in a blink of an eye he had disappeared into the night. Tikal looked down at knuckles who had just managed to stand up. "Tikal? What's going on?" Knuckles asked after he watched Shadow leave. Tikal walked down the stairs and hugged him. "All I can say is you'll have to leave Angel Island again soon…" Tikal answered closing her eyes. Knuckles hugged her back and thought. "Maybe this time Shadow will be my nemesis …." Knuckles thought as he put his hand on his shoulder and felt the bruise that shadow had left on him.
It was almost morning. The sun would start to rise any minute now. And Shadow had just leaped off Angel Island and was free falling to the ocean below. He fell for about One minute and finally caught himself by activating his Jet skates just as he was about to hit the water. He hovered on them for a minute then shut them off and ran across the surface of the water. He ran for about five minutes until he finally came back on the shore. He did a couple frontward flips out of joy and continued to run. When he was about twenty miles away from the beach that lead to Angel Island he came to a hilly area. He ran up one of the hills and when he got to the top he leaped of. He was falling slow, slow enough for him to see that the sun was starting to rise over the horizon. He wanted to see if he could get back to the workshop before Rouge woke up. Now he knew why Sonic liked to run so much. He only discovered he had this ability to run as fast as Sonic about a week ago and he already mastered it. He loved it, He loved running this fast. It made him feel free in someway. It didn't take long for him to get back to the shore area of the mystic ruins. He darted toward were the workshop was. As soon as the workshop came into view he saw that Rouge was sitting on the porch in her sleeping attire. She giggled when she saw him come over the hill running at top speed and she stood up to greet him. When Shadow was about twenty yards away from where Rouge was standing he stopped and leaped into the air doing a couple of impressive flips and landed right in front of her. "Good morning." She said with a smile. Shadow didn't say anything he just grabbed her by the hips and pulled her close. She blushed a little and they kissed. After about ten seconds their lips parted. "So where have you been?" She asked with a smile. Shadow spoke but he didn't answer her question. "Did I ever tell how gorgeous you are Rouge?" He said as he slowly moved his hands down to her butt. She blushed hard and said. "No…..you haven't." she said with a smile. "What has got you in such a saucy mood?" She asked as Shadow held her even closer. "Heh, you won't care after this." Shadow said as their lips met again. "Well whatever has got you so happy I'm glad it does." She said with a smile. And with that Shadow picked her up and carried her into workshop.
Sonic woke up at about eleven A.M.. He looked over at Amy who lay next to him. She was sound asleep (Probably exhausted from the night before.) All this didn't feel right to Sonic. He was still in love with someone else to. But he ha no idea if that person still loved him. He knew that he and Amy wouldn't be as close as Amy wanted them to be. That made him feel kind of bad. He was able to put on his shoes and slip out of the room unnoticed by Amy. He went down stairs and saw that Shadow was sitting on the couch watching tv. "Oh, hell. Here we go." Sonic thought as he made his was into the living room and sat next to Shadow. Shadow turned and leered at him. "Good morning." Shadow said in his usual voice. Sonic was a little annoyed by the sound of Shadow's voice but he replied anyway. "thanks." Sonic said as he put his feet on the table. The two identical hedgehogs sat in silence for nearly ten minutes until Shadow broke the silence. "You know……G.U.N. is going to after you and tails now…." Shadow said in kind of shamed voice. "Yeah I know and Tails knows it to. But we don't care. It's not like we can't stop them." Sonic said with a smile. "I hope we can….." Shadow thought to himself. "Hey, speaking of tails where is the little guy anyway?" Shadow asked. "He's still asleep." Sonic answered.
Tails was surrounded by G.U.N. agents as far as the eye could see. He went into a fighter stance and was ready for any attack they would dish out. One G.U.N. agent lunged at him with his fist, but tails spun around and kicked him hard across the face sending him flying back into the other agents. The second came and went when Tails struck him across the face with his tails. All the others rushed at him all at once. Tails struggled to keep his composure. He was able to hold his own for a while but they were finally able to over power him. They all covered him and showered him with attacks. Suddenly Tails felt a familiar energy surging through his body. He started glowing with a red light. And his fur turned red and a blue cape appeared on his back. He let out a energy burst that sent all the G.U.N. agents flying back. He let out another burst that vaporized all of them. After the last one was defeated he looked at himself. Somehow he had become Turbo Tails without using the chaos emeralds. He had little time to ponder it for he heard footsteps behind him. They sounded like they belonged to something big. He felt the presence of a large creature behind him. And without thinking he leaped into the air turned and jabbed his fist directly at the creatures face. The thing caught his fist and opened it's eyes. And all that Tails could see of it was it's two glowing red eyes. It was to dark to see anything else. He tried to break from its grip but it was too strong. And suddenly he felt something that felt like claws slash him across the stomach and cut him wide open…
