I know I said that the next story would be a reenactment. Here's the problem, I don't have enough chao yet. Omochao won't fill in all the gaps. So… If you guys want to flame me, take your best shot!

The Time Warriors

Chapter 1: The Challenge

The denizens of the Neutral Garden were enjoying a meal at Club Rouge to celebrate their victory at the Egg Fleet and the birth of Inferno. Maria slid a heaping plate of tacos at the group. Boomer held a taco up into the air.

" To victory!" the gamer smiled. Everyone else raised a taco.

"To victory!" they yelled. Inferno looked around.

"Victwy!" he cooed. Rouge looked around nervously. Scribbles saw this and went to comfort her.

" Where's Shadow? He said he'd be here…" the bat sighed.

'Don't worry.' Scribbles wrote. A block away, Shadow had his hands full with some thugs. The black hedgehog took one man and hurled him into a wall. The others were taken out with one Chaos Control. After the gang was taken care of, a figure stepped out from behind a dumpster.

" The ultimate life-form, I presume." The figure spoke as he tossed the coat aside, revealing a gray chao with a skull on his head.

" What do you want, chao?" Shadow asked.

" I have a name… It's Trez. I believe you know where the legendary Time Garden is. Tell me how to reach it and I won't kill you." Trez said coldly. Shadow charged at the chao, only to get the wind knocked out of him.

" Hard way it is then…" Trez growled as he mercilessly pummeled Shadow. At Club Rouge, a storm began to brew. Everyone was on edge. Suddenly, the door opened and a battered Shadow crawled into the building. Rouge passed out while Ghost and the others dashed to see what happened.

" A chao named Trez…jumped me in the alley…he wants to get to the Time Garden." Shadow gasped. Techno immediately whipped out his laptop and brought up a map.

" I know where it is! The warp for the Time Garden is aboard the space colony ARK!" the purple chao exclaimed.

" I'll call an ambulance for Shadow…" Maria said as she picked up a phone.

" We'll see what we can do at the shelter." Ghost stated as he walked out. Trez secretly watched this scene.

" ARK? They're making my job too easy." The evil chao said as he vanished.

Shadow gets owned. Review!
