Chapter 7 - The fast, the slow, and the stupid

Lexer is about to say something, when suddenly... A blue flash arrives. That flash is none other than Sonic. "Tails?" He asked to Lexer. "Sonic!" He responds. "Man, am I glad to see you."

Me: "Uh... That's not Tails."

Sonic: "How would you know?"

Me: "Because Tails is orange and white. Not grey."

Sonic: "Only my buddy Tails has 2 tails."

Me: "Not anymore."

Lexer: "Yes, I am Tails. Don't listen to him!"

Me: "What's you're plane called then, Tails?"

Lexer: "That's easy, it's the Tsunami."

It's silent for several seconds. They seem like minutes. Sonic keeps staring at Lexer. "It's not?" Lexer asks then.

Me: "It's the Tornado. The Tornado 2, to be exactly."

Sonic: "Are you Tails?"

Me: "No, i'm not! Where the hell are all the other animals?"

Sonic: "How would I know? I'm not from this world."

A black flash arrives. "Sonic, you owe me a rematch!" It's Shadow. He wants a rematch? "I have better things to do. See ya!" Sonic runs off. In a mere second he's out of sight. Man, I really wish i'd be that fast? "Damn that hedgehog." Shadow looks our way. "Hey, it's you wimps. You know Sonic, right?"

Overdrive: "Just a bit, man. Just a bit."

Shadow: "Let's make a deal. You get him to fight in the tournament in The Life Dome."

Regulus: "And?"

Shadow: "That's it. If you don't, I shall beat you up."

Blaze: "Screw you, bastard!"

Blaze just couldn't keep his mouth shut. Shadow walks up to him, and pushes his head against Blazes forehead. "What did you say?" He's apparently... angered. But Blaze doesn't seem to back down at all. "I said, screw you, you bas" Shadow punches him down into the ground. Such power! Shadow thinks he's knocked out, but he couldn't be more wrong. Blaze punches Shadow unexpected in the face, and Shadow flies a few meters backward. "So, you want to fight?" Shadow uses his superspeed to rush to Blaze, but Blaze foresaw it and punches him in the face again. First Shadows legs are lifted into the air. Shadow keeps flying forward, and eventually his face goes under past the fist. Then he keeps flying into the same direction he ran to for about 60 feet. Now that was some hard blow! Blaze hurt his fist thanks to the immense speed. I thought Shadow would be knocked out for sure, but he stands up. It takes him some trouble, but he doesn't have nearly as much damage as I expected him to have. "Next time we meet, we are enemies. Prepare to lose." Then he runs off.

Regulus: "Great, now he's our enemy. Nice thinking, Blaze."

Blaze: "He called me a wimp!"

Overdrive: "Come on, that's still no reason to attack him!"

Me: "Never mind. It was bound to happen that Shadow became our enemy. One of use will face him in the tournament sooner or later."

Summers: "Sonic... and Shadow. They're some weird hedgehogs. Strangest ones i've seen."

Regulus: "Hah, just wait until you meet Amy."

Lexer: "There is nothing wrong with Amy! She is sweet and kind."

Me: "So you are from another world, right?"

Lexer: "I think so..."

Summers: "So, we found who we needed. What now?"

Me: "I... I didn't think this far yet. I thought it would took us a while to find this guy, so I didn't plan ahead yet."

Blaze: "How about we beat the crap out of Shadow, right now! I know I can take him!"

Summers suggests we stay at the inn until we know what to do. We tried to... but they don't want to take in Lexer. They say he's a freak. Oh well... Lexer then suggests we should go to the west. There's a village with friendly people there. It's only supposed to take only a few hours to get there.

That night, we finally arrive. All of us are tired. Lexer said that there were supposed to be friendly people there. But there doesn't seem to by anyone. It's mouse quiet. It's... empty.
