Chapter 2: Sonic's Decision
The very next day, Shadow went out of the abandoned building and started looking for Sonic. "Huh. He isn't anywhere right now..." Shadow thought. Shadow thought of one place Sonic might be in: his apartment. Shadow sped down the highway, right through red lights and stop signs, and found the apartment called"Westopolis's First Apartment". "Hmm... nothing to be proud of if it's only an apartment..." Shadow also thought. He stepped inside, and all the people gasped, and played dead or acted like statues. "Hmm... people, don't worry. I'm not here to kill you...yet," Shadow said, waving his hands in the air. He went up to the lady behind - I mean, under the desk, and asked, "Do you know where Sonic's room is? I have a meeting with him," Shadow asked her, and the lady said, "Room 209, and please don't kill me, Shadow!" she replied, very scared, and hid back under the desk. Shadow walked into Room 209, and found Sonic inside.
"What's up Shadow?" Sonic asked, patting Shadow's shoulder. Shadow sat down on Sonic's bed. "Nothing much, really. Got into a few fights... stabbed this one guy in the eye with a pencil and threw his body off a building," Shadow replied , looking at the floor. Sonic went bug - eyed. "HOLY SHIT MAN! Just don't stab me," Sonic replied frightenley, and hid inside a cupboard. "Come on, I would never do that... unless you make me mad. I just came here to check on your answer for my question yesterday," Shadow said, looking at Sonic. Sonic's smile turned into a neutral face, and he said with a sigh, "I guess I'll help you... after all, you did help me take down the Final Hazard (check out Sonic Adventure 2 for details), and you did help fend off Metal Madness so I could turn into Super Sonic... (see Sonic Heroes for details) and then you did save me from Devil Doom (play Shadow the Hedgehog for details), and I owe alot to you, so I guess I'll help you destroy GUN's fortress. But don't ask me anymore of these lame-ass questions, okay? Next time you ask a question like this, I'll say no," Sonic said, shrugging his shoulders and closing his eyes. "Great! What are we waiting for? We have a fortress to destroy, y'know!" Shadow said, pulling on Sonic's hand and using Chaos Control, and warped out of the apartment.
They ran down the road, and Shadow asked Sonic, "Do you know any useful information so that we could take down the fortress easier?" "Well, not really, but I do know that they concealed a Chaos Emerald somewhere inside the basement of the Fortress, basement floor 708, was it? Yeah, 708. They're concealing the Green Chaos Emerald there, and somewhere also down there, the Red Chaos Emerald. But we can't get to the Red Chaos Emerald because there's a lock there that says, 'YOU MUST ENTER SIX CHAOS EMERALDS' on it," Sonic replied, speeding up. "Hmm... I guess our first objective is to find all the Chaos Emeralds! Waitaminute... I heard from a GUN article that they own 5 Chaos Emeralds, a Light Blue, a Dark Blue, a White, a Purple, and a Yellow," Shadow said, slowing down a bit. Sonic slowed down, and said, "Yeah... hey, does that mean that GUN owns all 7 Chaos Emeralds?" "I guess so..." Shadow agreed. "Let's find those Chaos Emeralds!" Sonic said, going to his maximum speed. "Yes! Then we can annihilate the Fortress using our Super forms!" Shadow said, going to his maximum speed also.
Sonic and Shadow finally reached the fortress. They thought they couldn't get inside from the main door, since Shadow had already broken an entry last time. They had three options : Either blow a hole into the wall near the basement stairs, (Sonic didn't like this one), go back in the back door, (Shadow didn't like this one; it needed no violence to get in) or use Chaos Control and warp themselves in. They both agreed on the last one, and used Chaos Control to warp inside, and there they were, underground.
Sonic looked at a map that was stuck on the wall, and it said, "YOU ARE HERE" with an arrow and Sonic examined a blue pentagon - looking thing that was on the map. He thought it wasa wierd mark someone left, but as he looked closer, it was the picture of a Dark Blue Chaos Emerald. "Shadow! Over here! This map says that if we go east, we can head for this Chaos Emerald!" Sonic said. "Okay, that sounds easy enough. Let's go!" Sonic and Shadow sped east and they came across a glass dome with the Chaos Emerald inside. "Hmm... security is pretty tight around here... oh wait, look at this note! It shows you how to break open the glass without triggering the alarm!" Sonic pointed out. "Hmph, this is going to take WAY too long..." Shadow said impatiently, walking around. "This thing says, 'Break glass with rock+'. But this thing says 'Break glass to get rock to break glass to get Emerald to replace glass and put rock. Ooh... I love logic puzzles! Let's see... if you break the-" CRASH! "Solved it," Shadow said, breaking and shattering the glass and grabbed the Emerald. BEEOOOP! BEEEOOOP! An alarm sounded, right over the glass dome. "Nice going, Shadow. Now we're stuck, surrounded by GUN soldiers," Sonic said, nudging Shadow as GUN soldiers spun around Sonic and Shadow. "Hah! Let's go, you GUN bastards," Shadow said, getting into a fighter position. "No killing and stabbing people in the eye, Shadow, I'm warning you," Sonic reminded, and the GUN soldiers barged into Sonic and Shadow, the chief of the semi-army saying, "CHAAAARRRRGGEEE!"

Woo yeah! My second chapter! Mind you, the only other poem on FanFiction I've written was called "The History of the Chaos Emeralds", and it's pretty long for just a simple poem. :p Oh yes, everyone, I must apologize for you waiting so long, and you must need an explanation. I'm so sorry, but on January 3rd, I had gotten a Nintendo DS from my parents as a VERY early birthday gift (can't tell you how early; I'm not allowed to tell you anything about my birth, age, etc), and I was sooo into the Mario Kart DS game that came with it ( I had gotten the bundle pack and my DS is red) that I had completely forgot about FanFiction, but while I was playing my game, I was thinking about the internet, then about stories, then it hit me. "Auugggghh! FanFiction! I had better get started!" I had yelled out. So I finally got the time to write this and complete this. I don't think it's as long as Chapter 1, but anyway, I'll try to get some time to write more, and I'll try to make each chapter longer. This is going to be hard for me though.
The plus sign was for an explanation. Anyways, why did I put a plus sign here? Because I loved Ratchet and Clank Going Commando's little logic puzzle movie, where Ratchet had to get the wrench from a glass dome, and a little rock inside another glass dome. I liked it alot, and I decided to copy it and put it in here.
