2. Chapter 2

I've had writer's block for some time… so I started writing other stories… then I got so caught up with those… that I forgot about this… but… this time… I updated all my stories!

When they finally got to the mysterious cave, Tails began to look around. "Look! Ancient Writing! They look like hieroglyphs… Let's see if I can transl-"

"It says:

All who enter, beware of the seventy-six,

For all who are brave,

A tip for you… seven parts, a weapon needing fix

To defeat the one, all seven parts you must save.

And last we leave one last saying

In all seven floors, if you leave but one

It shall be you who will be paying

The one will defeat even the ultimate speed, for he has no chance to run."

Knuckles read.

"Umm… how do you know?" Tails asked.

"It's written the way my ancestors did…" Knuckles said.

"Ha! It says that the ultimate speed is a 'he'!" Sonic said.

"Umm… Shadow's a guy." Amy said.

"Yeah, but he's an it!" Sonic said.

"Shut up…" Shadow said.

"Let's go!" Knuckles said.

Knuckles walked further into the cave. There was a pedestal there, and on it was… something.

"More hieroglyphs!" Tails said.

Knuckles looked at the pedestal. "Hmm… The first is the easiest. It will get harder and harder. Fear not now, for fear will find it's way to you." Knuckles read.

"Maybe when it meant the first is the easiest… it meant that… sooner or later, the pedestal would be gone when we get farther down. We'll have to find it!" Tails said.

"Hey! Look! Stairs, leading down…" Shadow said.

They looked around. The room was big, it was also dark. But it wasn't that dark. There were some candles with… purple fire?

"It can't be that easy… stay on your toes everyone!" Knuckles said.

Knuckles picked up the thing on the pedestal and translucent figures came out of the floor.

"Ghosts!" Amy shrieked.

There were 11 ghosts around them. Shadow took out his gun. "Although I know that they're ghosts and can't be killed by using this… I'm made to do this!" Shadow said.

(A/N Shadow is saying that the author is making him do this)

End, already? I told you… Any suggestions? Please?
