Sorry for not updating recently everyone... We got a new dog and he got sick, so I've been helping with everything. Also, school is becoming a pain in the homework department. Here are two more chapters.
"We have now but one choice..." Shadow started.
"Yeah? We'll let us use it to get some light in here!" Espio's voice came up. It was pitch black, so I don't even know where everyone is.
"I'm scared of the dark..." Tails wined.
"I'm working on it..." Shadow said. You hear some shuffling around. "Damn!"
"What?" Knuckles asked.
"My flashlight broke..." Shadow's voice had an annoyed tone to it. Suddenly, a brilliant shine came up. Everyone turned around to see Sonic holding a glowing carrot in his hand.
"Behold the power of the carrot!" Sonic yelled triumphantly. "It shall guide our way in this dark and dreadful place!" Everyone stared at him and Charmy went to say something, but Shadow stopped him.
"Don't ask? Don't tell..." Shadow whispered to him.
Everyone started on their journey down the halls of the Hidden Palace Zone of Moria... The path seemed endless.
"The path seems endless!" Sonic wined. He was right behind Shadow, who was leading the way, holding the glowy carrot up so everyone could see.
"Quiet... It's a three chapter journey to the other side..."
"Oh, God! That could take millions of years!" Berry said.
"Shh! We need to pass through this place unnoticed." Shadow whispered/yelled/evil looked/angry look/worried look/turns around now. Berry mocked his words with his silent mouth. They came to a large set of stairs. As they gazed upon it, it seemed to go up forever plus an eternity.
"Told ya..." Berry said. Shadow gave him the death glare. "Gag! Can't breathe!"
"Shadow! Release him!" Knuckles said. Shadow look up to Knuckles, releasing Berry.
"Let's just start going up..." Vector suggested. So they climbed... and climbed... and climbed some more... Oops, Tails almost fell down... and they climbed again... until they finally reached the top, where they came to a fork.
"Ooooo, shiny." Tails picked up the fork.
"I don't remember this?" Shadow said.
"Hey! Where's Sonic?" Charmy asked. Everyone looked around, but Sonic wasn't there.
"Then where is that light coming from?" There was a soft glow behind Shadow. He turned around, but it still stayed behind him.
"Hold still!" Tails said as he walked to the back of him. The glowing carrot and a piece of paper were duct taped to one of Shadow's blade. Tails ripped it off and looked at it.
"OOWWW!" Shadow yelled as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Dear Everyone..." Tails began to read. "I, Sonic the Hedgehog, think you are all dumber than me for taking the stairs, I have chosen an easier path and will meet you up there... Signed, loves and kisses, X's and O's and so on."
"Easier way?" Vector asked.
"Don't look at me, I can't even remember this fork." Suddenly, the wall next to them began to crack and shift apart. Debris fell from the roof and smashed into the ground. Light poured from the opening and then... ding! Sonic stood there in there in the middle of the elevator.
"Hi guys!" He said walking out. The walls shut quickly behind him and sealed closed.
"That was the easier way?" Knuckles asked. Sonic nodded. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"Because... You all can't fit in the elevator with me." Sonic answered.
(Later)
Shadow sat at the fork, smoking his bubble pipe. Knuckles and Vector sat below on one of the larger steps smoking their bubble pipes too; Tails, Pepper, Berry and Espio with them as well.
"Berry!" Pepper whispered.
"What!" Berry whispered back.
"I have to go to the bathroom!"
"I told you to go before we left the Hero Chao Garden!"
"I did! It's been forty-two days!"
"Oh... Well in that case, I'll go too."
Shadow sat there, pondering. His thoughts were scattered about his mind. A few bubbles float out of his pipe and popped in mid-air. Sonic sat next to him, shoving a Q-tip in one ear. As he shoved it in some more, it came out the other ear. Sonic began moving the Q-tip around in his ear and moaning. Shadow raised an eyebrow as he looked to him. Sonic's eyes were closed as move the Q-tip in and out of his ear.
"Sonic?" Shadow said calmly as he could.
"Mmm, yes Shadow?" Sonic responded still continuing.
"Stop that! You're really starting to creep me out!" Shadow yelled. Sonic eyes snapped open and pulled the instrument from his ear.
"Sorry..." He said as he put it down. Then, a large figure that lingered below caught his eye.
"Shadow! My eye fell out and a large figure lingering below us caught it." Sonic panicked.
"It was a figure of speech..." Shadow explained. "Besides it's Big the Cat..."
"Big the Cat!?"
"Yes, he's been following us for three days." Sonic walked over to the ledge and looked two the rest of the Friendship.
"Hey guys! Did you know Big the Cat has been following us for three days?"
"Yeah, found out on the first day!" Knuckles yelled back.
"Me, too!" Tails said.
"We all knew the first day!" Vector exclaimed.
"Damn!" Sonic said to himself. "I'm always last to know..."
"Don't worry about it..." Shadow said. More bubbles floated up from his pipe.
"Man... I wish I had never found the emerald..." Sonic said aloud as he watched The Chaotic Emerald resting in the palm of his hand.
"It was only a matter of time before it showed up..." Shadow explained. "There are reasons things happen and it's because some sick author comes along and writes fics about us to mess up our lives. For example, in this story, Booboo found the emerald during a chao race and Booboo is my chao. I fell into the Earth's atmosphere and burnt into a crisp, so you volunteered to raise him afterwards. So naturally the emerald fell into your hands." Shadow looked over to Sonic. He was using a back scratcher to scratch his back. Sonic's foot began to twitch showing that he was very... 'relaxed.' "Are you listening!?" Shadow screamed.
"Yes, sick author, Booboo, evil world, Maria cheated on you..." Sonic said as stood straight up.
"What?"
"Oops, said too much..." Sonic said. Shadow stared at him menacingly with his left eye twitching. "Uh, Shadow... You should um... have that eye looked at." Sonic started backing up as Shadow approached him.
"I'm going to enjoy thi..." Shadow stopped and noticed something. He looked over to one of the openings in the wall. "This way!"
"Wha?" Sonic mumbled. He was lying on the ground, holding his head.
"Yay! He remembered!" Berry said, walking out of the bathroom.
"No... The air doesn't smell like Sonic's breath in this passage." Shadow explained. The Friendship rose from there from there came and followed Shadow and Sonic down the dark corridors. At last they came to a great hall.
"Sonic, gives us a little more light." Shadow said.
"Okay..." Sonic held up the carrot and out came blinding flashed of light. Everything became the purest of white.
"I'm blind!" Tails yelled.
"My eyes!" Knuckles wined.
"Toothpaste!" Sonic yelled.
"It's too bright!" Shadow screamed.
"What? I can't see you; I think it's too bright!" Sonic yelled as he lowered the illumination of the vegetable. Everyone have really, really, really small eyes.
"You little..." Shadow jumped at Sonic, but was in the wrong direction. He squished into the ground causing pain to himself. "You just wait until I get my sight back..." He grumbled.
"We have now but one choice..." Shadow started.
"Yeah? We'll let us use it to get some light in here!" Espio's voice came up. It was pitch black, so I don't even know where everyone is.
