In the last chapter I was a little upset when I said "if you don't like it don't review." What I meant was that if you're ready to give me a bad comment instead of advice, then I don't want you to review. That's what I meant when I said that because I do take advice even though I can't really change what I did in the story already b/c my friends wanted me to do this story but they can't review b/c they're not part of.

Drakedragonand Kuramagirl11, I thank you for your comment and I do listen to the advices given to me even though my story didn't impress some of you out there. But I personally wrote this story for my friends because they like it and I can't let them or Drakedragon and Kuramagirl11down.

I did say that if I get a review or two I would update so I have to keep my word.

Down in the alley, Shadow could see another hedgehog hidden in the shadows. He also found out it was a girl when she spoke.

(When they talk it will go back in forth between Shades and Yin-Yang so I'm not going to say 'said Shades' or 'said Yin-Yang' after every single quote)

"Sorry I'm a bit late, Yin-Yang, we had to find an apartment first," said Shades

"Glad you could make it, Shades," said Yin-Yang

"Why did you call me here for?"

"To talk. I thought I made myself clear when I told you and the girls to not come here! I didn't want you to get involved with Sonic and his friends' lives!"

"I know, but we couldn't just stay and wait for that, that, thing to come and cover this planet in darkness! We just couldn't let that happen, Yin-Yang. We just couldn't,"

"Alright, I understand. But I would appreciate it if you told me first. Now we have to convince them that we're not the bad guys here. Especially Knuckles, how will he believe that there's another echidna living when he knows that he's the last one? I hope Knell didn't cause any trouble," said Yin-Yang starting to pace a little but is still hidden from Shadow's view.

"Knell shouldn't have done anything to cause trouble, but she has started an argument with Rouge not too long ago," said Shades with a sweat drop expression,

"(Sigh) Could've guessed. She always had a small crush on Knuckles. What about you, Shades?"

"Um, I, I don't have time for Shadow. Besides, everyone knows I'm too stubborn for anything and it just wouldn't work," Shades answered,

"You take your job too seriously Shades. While it's true that I created you four and your jobs were to keep your counterparts from danger, but you girls also have a heart and soul so I don't see anything different between you four and Sonic and his friends. Shades, what else do you remember of why you were created?" asked Yin-Yang

"To give you company when you were alone…..and to bring hope to all humanity," Shades answered.

Shadow was pretty surprised, "They were created!? But they have a heart and soul too. Just what is going on here!?"

"Tell me, does Star show affection toward Sonic," asked Yin-Yang,

"Probably, but I know this much, Three-Tails doesn't have any for Tails. Besides, she older than him by two years," Shades answered.

"But those two would make good friends. Tails can make the machines and Three-Tails can improve them. Three-Tails is not the type when it comes to falling in love no matter how much older she gets," said Yin-Yang,

"So what are you trying to tell me?" asked Shades,

"To follow your heart. Star does, and Knell knows when to get serious even though she jokes around a lot, Three-Tails is a reliable friend, and what about you?"

Shades said nothing.

"I admit that I have some feeling toward Shadow too, but you might be in luck Shades b/c I found someone else that might make me change my mind,"

"Yin-Yang, this is serious, this 'King of Darkness' has been here for a day and it hasn't caused any trouble. What's up with that?"

"Shades, remember, you and the girls are me but split into four personalities, I know this is serious but we can't do anything about it right now. Just keep your friends safe from harm and we'll be ready. It's midnight and I want you to rest. Also, I don't want you telling Sonic and the others about your real powers at the moment besides Star's usually speed and Knell's usual brute strength, or your usual powers to use Chaos Control. Keep them a secret for now. Don't tell them anymore about this evil waiting for the right time to strike. Promise me that and don't tell them I'm here. They're not ready to know me yet. Earn they're trust and tell Knell not to show off too much or her real powers will be revealed," said Yin-Yang,

"Yes, I will. I promise, where will you stay anyway?" asked Shades,

"Don't worry, I already found a place. And take this with you, you might need it later on," Yin-Yang handed Shades the green chaos emerald.

"Where did you--"

"Not now, go and get some rest, I'll tell you if we should meet here again," said Yin-Yang so Shades turned to leave.

Shadow had to act fast so he quickly got up to a rooftop before Shades could see him,

"Looks like there's more to those girls than they seem," he said,

Yin-Yang looked up from the alley at him without Shadow noticing,

"Yes indeed Shadow. There is more than what you can see from them. They may seem like they're just plain copies of you and your friends, but they have their own abilities too."

This chapter was pretty much giving some information and clues here and there for the future. Yes, Yin-Yang will appear in the future. And in case some of you didn't catch it: No, Tails and Three-Tails are not a couple in this story, more of a friendship relationship.
