Bright, cyan eyes searched the red terrain. Nothing. No trees. No floweres. No
life. Everything had faded from existence after their short rain shower. The
only thing still remaining was her... and the other forecasted to be out here.
Sighing heavily, she moved forward, coming to rest atop a large sand dune.
Glancing around, she took a sip of water from her canteen. She still didn't see
him and it was growing dark. Soon, it would be impossible to see him, for his
fur would blend with the shadows of night.
She frowned, eyes catching something dark on the horizon. She squinted, trying
to focus on it. A smile slowly crept across her features. He was there. The
twins had been right... Light was once again falling into darkness.
She shivered.

The words had struck fear in to his heart and bruised his psyche. The stories
he had been told of that place long ago once again resurfaced, and he shivered.
His actions did not go unnoticed, however, for the icy stare of the dark
hedgehog before him was everwatchful. Curiosity reigned in the dark one's eyes,
but he didn't move to speak. Instead, he turned away, moving towards the door.
"Where are you going?" he asked, his voice shaky and cracked. The dark one
looked over his shoulder and scowled.
"To find my brother," Epsilion answered darkly.
"But you don't even know where to go!" he countered, fear giving way to anger.
"Apparently you do, but I will not ask it of you as your fear shows plain as
day."
"Okay, so I'm afraid of the Forbidden Zone. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna
help my friend," Sonic replied, standing. The dark one smiled slightly and
nodded.
"Well then, let's go."
"I'm going with!" Amy exclaimed, curling her hands into fists. Epsilion moved
his eyes to her, then back to Sonic.
"Amy, there is no way I'm letting you go into the Forbidden Zone. Do you know
what kind of dangerous-"
"I don't care what you say, Murice! I'm going to save Shadow!" Amy yelled,
stomping out of the tiny hut. Epsilion blinked.
"Murice?"
"Shut-up!" Sonic warned angrilly. Epsilion smirked and followed the steaming
pink hedgehog out of the hut and into the light rain. The azure hedgehog sighed,
and soon followed. "This is going to be a long trip."
